[Huang Songping, spokesman of the General Administration of Customs]Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the press conference today. It’s a pleasure to meet you again, to brief you on China’s foreign trade import and export in 2017, and then to answer your questions.

In 2017, the world economy recovered moderately, and the domestic economy was stable and positive, which promoted the continuous growth of China’s foreign trade import and export throughout the year. According to customs statistics, in 2017, the total import and export value of China’s goods trade was 27.79 trillion yuan, an increase of 14.2% over 2016, reversing the previous two consecutive years of decline. Among them, the export was 15.33 trillion yuan, up by 10.8%; Imports reached 12.46 trillion yuan, up by 18.7%; The trade surplus was 2.87 trillion yuan, narrowing by 14.2%. The specific situation is as follows:

First, the import and export value increased quarter by quarter, and the year-on-year growth rate slowed down. In 2017, China’s import and export value increased quarter by quarter, reaching 6.17 trillion yuan, 6.91 trillion yuan, 7.17 trillion yuan and 7.54 trillion yuan respectively, increasing by 21.3%, 17.2%, 11.9% and 8.6% respectively.

Second, the import and export of general trade grew rapidly, and the proportion increased. In 2017, China’s general trade import and export was 15.66 trillion yuan, up 16.8%, accounting for 56.4% of China’s total import and export value, up 1.3 percentage points from 2016, and the trade pattern structure was optimized.

Third, the import and export of the top three trading partners increased simultaneously, and the import and export growth with some countries along the Belt and Road was good. In 2017, China’s import and export to the European Union, the United States and ASEAN increased by 15.5%, 15.2% and 16.6% respectively, accounting for 41.8% of China’s total import and export value. In the same period, China’s imports and exports to Russia, Poland and Kazakhstan increased by 23.9%, 23.4% and 40.7% respectively, both higher than the overall growth rate.

Fourth, the import and export of private enterprises increased, and the proportion increased. In 2017, the import and export of private enterprises in China was 10.7 trillion yuan, up 15.3%, accounting for 38.5% of China’s total import and export value, up 0.4 percentage points from 2016. Among them, exports amounted to 7.13 trillion yuan, up 12.3%, accounting for 46.5% of the total export value, and continued to maintain the top position in export share, with the proportion increasing by 0.6 percentage points; Imports reached 3.57 trillion yuan, an increase of 22%.

5. The growth rate of import and export in the central, western and northeastern provinces is higher than that in the whole country. In 2017, the growth rate of foreign trade in 12 western provinces and cities was 23.4%, exceeding the national growth rate by 9.2 percentage points; The growth rate of foreign trade in the six central provinces and cities was 18.4%, exceeding the national growth rate by 4.2 percentage points; The growth rate of foreign trade in the three northeastern provinces was 15.6%, exceeding the national growth rate by 1.4 percentage points; The growth rate of foreign trade in 10 eastern provinces and cities was 13%. The coordination of regional development has been enhanced.

Six, mechanical and electrical products, traditional labor-intensive products are still the main export. In 2017, China’s mechanical and electrical products exported 8.95 trillion yuan, up 12.1%, accounting for 58.4% of China’s total export value. Among them, automobile exports increased by 27.2%, computer exports increased by 16.6%, and mobile phone exports increased by 11.3%. In the same period, the export of traditional labor-intensive products totaled 3.08 trillion yuan, up 6.9%, accounting for 20.1% of the total export value.

Seven, iron ore, crude oil and soybeans and other bulk commodities import prices rose. In 2017, China imported 1.075 billion tons of iron ore, an increase of 5%; 420 million tons of crude oil, up by 10.1%; 95.54 million tons of soybeans, up by 13.9%; 68.57 million tons of natural gas, an increase of 26.9%; Refined oil reached 29.64 million tons, up 6.4%. In addition, imported copper was 4.69 million tons, a decrease of 5.2%. In the same period, China’s import prices rose by 9.4%. Among them, the average import price of iron ore increased by 28.6%, crude oil by 29.6%, soybean by 5%, natural gas by 13.9%, refined oil by 25.3% and copper by 28%.

In August and December, China’s foreign trade export leading index dropped. In December 2017, the leading index of China’s foreign trade export was 41.1, down 0.7 from the previous month, indicating that China’s exports were still under certain pressure in the first quarter of 2018. Among them, according to the data of online questionnaire survey, China’s export manager index was 44.2 in that month, down 0.6 from last month; The new export order index and export manager confidence index dropped by 0.4 and 1.2 to 48.3 and 50 respectively, and the comprehensive cost index of export enterprises rose by 0.4 to 20.5.

Generally speaking, in 2017, the foundation for China’s foreign trade to stabilize and improve has been continuously consolidated, and its development potential is gradually being released. Under the background of sustained and moderate global economic recovery and China’s stable economy, the overall situation of China’s foreign trade is good this year, but there are still some uncertain and unstable factors in the international economic and trade field, and the high-quality development of foreign trade faces some challenges. In 2018, the Customs will fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, conscientiously implement the arrangements of the Central Economic Work Conference, take Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era as the guide, adhere to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, adhere to the new development concept, closely follow the major contradictions and changes in China’s society, solidly promote customs reforms to take root according to the requirements of high-quality development, and make every effort to promote the steady growth of foreign trade and better serve the overall situation of national economic and social development.

Now I’d like to answer your questions.

【 Attacking on the Beautiful Spring 】Thanks to Mr. Huang Songping for his introduction. In order to help you better understand the situation, we have arranged simultaneous interpretation today to help foreign journalists and friends understand the whole situation.

Please ask questions below, and please inform the news organizations you represent before asking questions according to the usual practice.

[CCTV reporter]Hello, Director Huang, my question is, how do you evaluate the overall development of China’s foreign trade in 2017? We know that China’s foreign trade experienced a double-digit growth in 2017, which was a year-on-year decline for two consecutive years. For this change, some people think that this is only a staged rebound. What do you think of this? Please give us a detailed introduction. Thank you.

[Huang Songping]Thank you for your question. In 2017, the world economy recovered moderately, the domestic economy improved steadily, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative progressed steadily, and the effect of the policy of steady growth of foreign trade appeared, which jointly promoted the two-year negative growth of China’s foreign trade import and export and achieved double-digit recovery growth. Foreign trade has maintained a stable and good development trend. Specifically, there are the following reasons:

First, the world economy has recovered moderately and external demand has picked up. In 2017, the world economy recovered better than expected, and the international market demand picked up. According to the statistics of the World Trade Organization, the total export value of goods trade in 70 major economies in the world increased by more than 9% in the first three quarters of last year, and the trade growth trend was obvious.

Second, the domestic economy is stable and improving, laying the foundation for import growth. In 2017, with the deepening of supply-side structural reform, the domestic economy maintained a steady and positive development trend, and the improvement of real economy operation led to an increase in China’s import demand. At the same time, China has also implemented a series of policies and measures to expand imports, including reducing import tariffs on some consumer goods. Policies and measures such as improving fiscal and taxation policies to expand imports, encouraging the import of advanced technology and equipment and key parts, and improving the level of trade facilitation have had a positive impact on expanding imports.

Third, commodity prices rose year-on-year, driving the rapid growth of import value. In 2017, the overall commodity prices in the international market showed a year-on-year upward trend, driving China’s import price index to rise to 109.4, and the contribution rate of prices to import growth was 52.6%. At the same time, the impact of rising prices of imported raw materials is transmitted to the export of manufactured goods. In 2017, China’s export price index was 103.9, and the contribution rate of prices to export growth was 37.3%.

Fourth, the "Belt and Road Initiative" has been steadily advanced, and emerging markets have been vigorously explored. In 2017, China’s import and export with countries along the Belt and Road increased by 17.8%, which was 3.6 percentage points higher than China’s import and export growth rate. During the same period, China’s import and export with Latin American countries increased by 22%, while that with African countries increased by 17.3%, which was effective in opening up emerging markets. At the same time, the effects of a series of national policies and measures to promote the steady growth of foreign trade continue to show, the reform in streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services is gradually deepening, the domestic business environment is constantly improving, the burden reduction and assistance have achieved practical results, the innovation ability of enterprises has been enhanced, and the endogenous motivation of foreign trade development has been enhanced, which is also an important reason for the foreign trade to continue to stabilize and improve in 2017.

In addition, in 2015 and 2016, China’s foreign trade import and export experienced negative growth for two consecutive years, and the low base also raised the growth rate in 2017 to some extent. Thank you.

[Reporter of China Radio International]Excuse me, Director Huang, we especially want to know about the trade development between China and countries along the Belt and Road in 2017. In addition, what other measures does our customs have to promote the new pattern of all-round opening up? Thank you.

[Huang Songping]Thank you for your question. According to customs statistics, in 2017, China imported and exported 7.37 trillion yuan to countries along the Belt and Road, up 17.8% year-on-year, 3.6 percentage points higher than China’s overall foreign trade growth rate, accounting for 26.5% of China’s total foreign trade value, including 4.3 trillion yuan in exports, up 12.1%, and 3.07 trillion yuan in imports, up 26.8%. The Belt and Road Initiative conforms to the requirements of the times and the desire of countries to accelerate development. Countries along the Belt and Road jointly build the Belt and Road and share the achievements of the Five Links. We believe that trade with countries along the Belt and Road will continue to be the highlight and growth point of China’s foreign trade.

In the next step, the customs will improve the ability and level of the new pattern of comprehensive opening of services. Specifically, we will comprehensively deepen the cooperation in customs clearance among countries along the Belt and Road and actively promote the AEO mutual recognition among countries along the route; Continue to optimize customs supervision services, promote customs clearance procedures to simplify, and effectively improve the level of trade facilitation; Promote the transformation and upgrading of foreign trade, accelerate the cultivation of new kinetic energy for foreign trade development, support the development of new trade formats, support the success of China International Import Expo, actively participate in the formulation of international trade rules, make every effort to run the World Customs Cross-border E-commerce Conference, and strive to make greater contributions to the development of an open economy. Thank you.

[Hong Kong China Rating Society reporter]I’d like to ask Director Huang to introduce the import and export trade between the mainland and Taiwan Province in 2017, and also ask you to help us predict the trend of cross-strait trade in 2018. Thank you.

[Huang Songping]Thank you for your question. According to customs statistics, the total value of cross-strait bilateral trade in 2017 was 1.35 trillion yuan, up 14% year-on-year, accounting for 4.9% of the total foreign trade value of the mainland in that year. Taiwan Province is the seventh largest trading partner of the mainland, of which the mainland exported 297.9 billion yuan to Taiwan, up 12.2%, and imported 1.05 trillion yuan, up 14.5%. The trade deficit was 753.4 billion yuan, up 15.4%.

Peaceful and stable cross-strait relations are of great significance to the development of cross-strait trade, and we hope that cross-strait trade will develop better. Regarding the trend of cross-strait trade, I believe that as long as we eliminate the adverse effects and deepen cross-strait cooperation, cross-strait trade will develop in a healthy direction in 2018.

[International News Agency reporter]The overall situation of China’s foreign trade this year is relatively good, and there are still some uncertain and unstable factors in the field of international economy and trade. Can you tell us what these unstable and uncertain factors are? Can we make a prospect for this year’s trade export around the expansion of RMB fluctuation and some trade frictions between China and the United States? Thank you.

[Huang Songping]Let’s answer the question about the exchange rate first. As for the RMB exchange rate, we always think that it has an impact on foreign trade import and export, but the impact is limited. First, the exchange rate change is a double-edged sword for import and export. When the RMB depreciates, it will theoretically benefit the export of enterprises, but it will also increase the import cost of enterprises accordingly. Second, under the background of global value chain, due to the cross-regional upstream and downstream division of labor and intra-industry trade, the currency change of one economy and its impact on import and export will be quickly transmitted to other intra-chain economies, and then the impact on a single economy will be dispersed.

In the context of the recovery of the world economy and the uncertainty of the normalization of monetary policies in major economies, keeping the RMB exchange rate basically stable at a reasonable and balanced level is conducive to stabilizing the exchange rate expectations of enterprises and promoting the steady development of foreign trade. Therefore, relevant departments in China have been actively strengthening the RMB settlement in cross-border trade and investment fields to help enterprises enhance their ability to cope with exchange rate risks.

Regarding the unstable and uncertain factors, we look at it this way. From the situation just introduced, there are many favorable conditions for China’s foreign trade development in 2018, but we should also see that the growth factors that restrict foreign trade development still exist. First, the international environment is complicated, and deep-seated and structural contradictions are still prominent in the world, which may have an impact on global economic recovery and financial market stability, and the road to world trade recovery will still be tortuous. Second, the global manufacturing competition has become more intense. On the one hand, some emerging market countries rely on low-cost advantages such as labor and land to promote the development of low-end manufacturing industries and compete with China’s traditional superior products. On the other hand, developed economies have implemented the policy of "economic rebalancing and re-industrialization" to promote the return of some high-end manufacturing industries. The global competition of manufacturing industry will be more intense. Third, global trade protectionism is still heating up. At present, the cases and amount of trade remedy investigations on products in China are still at a high level in recent years.

With regard to Sino-US trade, the United States is China’s second largest trading partner. According to customs statistics, the total value of Sino-US trade in 2017 was 3.95 trillion yuan, up 15.2% year-on-year, accounting for 14.2% of China’s total import and export value, of which exports to the United States were 2.91 trillion yuan, up 14.5%, imports from the United States were 1.04 trillion yuan, up 17.3%, and the trade surplus with the United States was 1.87 trillion yuan, expanding. In 2017, Sino-US trade achieved rapid growth. As the world’s top two economies, we hope that China and the United States will continue to deepen economic and trade cooperation, achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, and jointly promote global economic prosperity. Thank you.

[China News Service reporter]May I ask whether the quality and efficiency of China’s foreign trade have been improved while it is growing rapidly in 2017? In addition, what are your expectations for China’s foreign trade situation in 2018? Thank you.

[Huang Songping]Thank you for your question. In 2017, China’s foreign trade import and export achieved a rapid growth of 14.2%, and the quality and efficiency of foreign trade development were further improved.

First, the ability of independent development has been enhanced. The import and export of general trade with long domestic industrial chain and high added value increased by 16.8%, 2.6 percentage points higher than the overall import and export growth rate, and the proportion increased by 1.3 percentage points year-on-year. Second, trading partners are becoming more diversified. Imports and exports to traditional markets such as Europe, America and Japan increased by 14.8%, while imports and exports to emerging markets such as Latin America and Africa increased by 22% and 17.3% respectively. Third, market players are active. The import and export of all types of enterprises achieved double-digit growth, among which the import and export of private enterprises increased by 15.3%, which contributed the most to the growth of China’s total import and export value, reaching 41.2%, and the endogenous motivation of foreign trade development was enhanced. Fourth, regional development is more coordinated. The import and export of foreign trade in the central and western regions increased by 21%, which was 6.8 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate of national imports and exports, and its proportion in national imports and exports increased by 0.8 percentage points year-on-year. Fifth, product structure optimization. The export of some high value-added mechanical and electrical products and equipment manufacturing products maintained a good growth trend, for example, the export of automobiles increased by 27.2%, computers increased by 16.6%, and medical instruments and instruments increased by 10.3%, indicating that the independent innovation ability of Chinese enterprises has gradually increased and new advantages in international competition have gradually emerged. On the import side, the import of energy resources products grew steadily, such as crude oil, iron ore and natural gas, which increased by 10.1%, 5% and 26.9% respectively. The import of some important equipment and key components of high-quality consumer goods increased rapidly, including integrated circuits, engines and CNC machine tools, which increased by 17.3%, 17.6% and 13.8% respectively.Aquatic products increased by 19.6%. On the whole, in 2017, China’s foreign trade sector firmly promoted the supply-side structural reform, and made positive progress in the transformation mode and restructuring. The import and export are shifting from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage.

Regarding the foreign trade trend this year, generally speaking, the world economy is expected to continue to recover in 2018, and China’s economy will continue to be stable and positive, which is more favorable for China’s foreign trade import and export. However, due to the uncertainties in the international environment and the large base last year, it is more difficult for foreign trade to maintain double-digit rapid growth. It is expected that China’s foreign trade import and export will continue to grow this year, and the quality and efficiency will be improved. Thank you.

[Australian "Sydney Morning Herald" reporter]China is an important trading partner of Australia. Can you provide us with some data about the trade between China and Australia? The trade between China and Australia on natural gas has made great progress. I wonder what the reasons are? Is the large-scale "coal to gas" in China a factor behind it?

[Huang Songping]Thank you for your question. In 2017, the bonus of China-Australia FTA continued to be released, and bilateral trade between China and Australia grew rapidly. The total value of China’s imports and exports to Australia was 923.41 billion yuan, up 29.1% year-on-year, which was 14.9 percentage points higher than the growth rate of China’s imports and exports in that year, of which exports were 280.56 billion yuan, up 13.9%; Imports reached 642.85 billion yuan, an increase of 37.2%. The trade deficit was 362.29 billion yuan, an increase of 63%. As Australia’s largest export market, China accounts for more than 30% of Australia’s exports. We hope that the economic and trade cooperation between China and Australia will continue to develop healthily.

Regarding the figures of natural gas imports, I don’t have the data brought from Australia here. Last year, our natural gas imports increased, and Australia is an important source, which is due to the factors of increasing domestic demand, strengthening environmental protection, "changing coal to gas" and so on. Thank you.

[German World News reporter]The question I want to ask you is, why is China importing so much crude oil and iron ore now? Considering the domestic economic situation in China, is the amount of these imports helpful for improving the quality and efficiency of China’s economy? At present, the import price has also risen dramatically, exceeding 30%, and we are not particularly able to understand the phenomenon behind it. In addition, is the reliability of these data published by the General Administration of Customs particularly high? Because we now see many reports questioning the data released by some provinces in China, such as Liaoning and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Previously, there were problems related to data with many other countries, because other countries said that their understanding of the trade deficit was far greater than the data published by the General Administration of Customs of China.

[Huang Songping]Thank you for your question. Why does China import a lot of iron ore, crude oil and other commodities? Because China is a big manufacturing country, it needs a lot of raw materials and energy products for production. In 2017, China’s economy is stable and the domestic demand is relatively strong, which promotes the increase of commodity imports. The rise in international market prices, on the one hand, is the global economic recovery, and the increase in demand drives the price increase, on the other hand, many commodities have certain financial attributes, and so on. There are many reasons for the rise in commodity prices. This is my answer to your first question.

Second, the accuracy of the figures of China Customs. In 2017, China’s foreign trade achieved double-digit growth, ending the negative growth trend for two consecutive years, which was mainly due to the positive factors such as the moderate recovery of the global economy, the recovery of market demand, the rebound of commodity prices, and the policy effect of steady growth of foreign trade, as well as the relatively low base, which provided conditions for the expansion of growth. Judging from the situation of inbound and outbound containers, in 2017, the customs supervised 109 million containers, up 5.9%, and supervised 680 million tons of cargo, up 6.1%, which also confirmed the trend of China’s foreign trade stabilizing in 2017. I would like to make a brief response to your concern about the accuracy of customs statistics. Customs import and export goods trade statistics is an important part of national macroeconomic statistics. We have always attached great importance to statistical quality work and regarded the truth and accuracy of data as the highest pursuit of statistical work. Based on the data such as import and export goods declaration forms, according to international statistical rules and standards, we include the goods that actually enter or leave the country and cause the increase or decrease of domestic material stock in the import and export statistics of goods trade, and use data analysis means to screen abnormal data and conduct statistical verification on enterprises whose data information is declared doubtful. At the end of 2016, 27 departments, including the National Development and Reform Commission, the People’s Bank of China, and the National Bureau of Statistics, jointly signed the Memorandum of Cooperation on Joint Punishment of Enterprises with Serious Dishonesty in the Statistical Data Field and Relevant Personnel.Joint punishment shall be imposed on enterprises that falsify import and export information to the customs, resulting in distortion of statistical data, so as to maintain the authenticity of statistical data.

Just now you mentioned that China’s foreign trade statistics are not consistent with those of some other countries. Now most countries in the world have adopted the statistical system recommended by the United Nations Statistics Bureau, and so has China Customs. Therefore, in terms of statistical rules, China Customs has adopted the international statistical system. As for the reasons for the inconsistency, for example, the exports of various countries are generally calculated at FOB prices, and the imports are generally calculated at CIF prices, which is different. There is also the problem of re-export. For example, China’s goods are re-exported through the Netherlands. According to statistics in China, the export destination is the Netherlands, but the Netherlands is re-exported to a third country, so the statistics of China are different from those of a third country. In addition, there are differences in exchange rate conversion, statistical time and so on. These are the factors that cause the inconsistency of bilateral trade statistics.

On May 28, 2017, the Regulations on the Implementation of the Statistics Law of the People’s Republic of China was promulgated, and we will continue to strengthen statistical work according to laws and regulations to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of import and export data. Thank you.

[Reporter of Japan Broadcasting Association]Regarding the trade relationship between China and North Korea, can you tell us something about the trade between China and North Korea in 2017?

[Huang Songping]Thank you for your question. Let me first inform you of the latest data on China-DPRK trade. According to customs statistics, in dollar terms, the total value of China’s imports and exports to North Korea in 2017 was US$ 5.06 billion, down 10.5% year-on-year, of which exports were US$ 3.34 billion, up 8.3%, imports were US$ 1.72 billion, down 33%, and the trade surplus was US$ 1.62 billion, up 2.2 times. In December, the import and export to the DPRK was US$ 310 million, down by 50.6%, of which exports were US$ 260 million, down by 23.4%, and imports were US$ 54.342 million, down by 81.6%. Thank you.

【 Attacking on the Beautiful Spring 】If you have no questions, thank you again, Director Huang Songping, and thank you. This concludes today’s press conference.

For office workers who are busy at work on weekdays, it is a luxury to take time out to solve personal problems. Therefore, many people turn to the matchmaker of the dating website to find the other half efficiently.

However, the reality is often cruel, and some people have spent tens of thousands of yuan and still failed to find the desired TA. It’s not that my eyes are too picky, but that I was given a routine by the dating network.

On March 15th, Xinmin.com made an unannounced visit to the matchmaker business in jiayuan, the largest marriage platform in China, and the result was surprising.

The following is a record of the reporter’s unannounced visit:

"I paid 28,800 yuan, but the education, work, even appearance and information of the introduced object are all not right! Jiayuan is bad for my marriage! " Ms. Shi, a citizen, called the phone to reveal that she suspected that she had encountered a "fake blind date" after purchasing the offline service in jiayuan. Coincidentally, many complainants, such as Mr. Chen and Mr. Li, also encountered similar situations.

Many complainants told reporters that offline stores were "brainwashed" by "matchmaker", and each complainant described the same scene — — In the closed compartment, the matchmaker can make a customer who goes to an offline store spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy the blind date service provided by it within 2 hours. "Listen if you don’t believe me, ‘ Kiss up ’ 、‘ Pull the wound ’ 、‘ Storytelling ’ ‘ Tell a case ’ All kinds of routines guarantee that you want to pay to find someone, "concluded one complainant.

The reporter made an unannounced visit: "Hua 2Buy happiness. "

In order to explore the "matchmaker" service in jiayuan, on the afternoon of February 26th, according to the phone provided by the informant, the reporter called jiayuan to ask the other party how to become an offline VIP member. The other party said that they could go to the store for consultation and provided the address. On the same day, the reporter came to the offline store of Pudong Avenue in jiayuan as a consumer, and a senior love analyst who claimed to be "Mr. Wang" received the reporter.

"We have 200 professional matchmakers here", "jiayuan was listed on NASDAQ in the United States" and "on average, 100 couples of men and women meet here every day on Saturday and Sunday". After showing the reporters the trophies, certificates and photos displayed in the store, Mr. Wang indicated to wait a moment. After the third door was pushed open, the staff in the room and the young woman took the initiative to give up their seats. "You use it first, and we are finished talking." The old aunt and the woman carrying LV bags came out. "They are all looking for our matchmaker." Teacher Wang introduced to the reporter.

After sitting down, Mr. Wang began to communicate with reporters. As soon as she came up, she made some comments on the image, such as "You should cut your hair short in front", "You know you are a science and engineering man by the way you talk and dress" and "You must be an otaku because you don’t have much contact with girls at ordinary times". Immediately, the conversation turned to "comfort" the reporter, "In fact, your eyes are big" and "you are quite handsome".

After learning that the reporter is engaged in "IT work", with an annual income of about 150,000 yuan, a house and a car, and after her parents retire, she went straight to the subject. "From the perspective of education and income, you are suitable for the file of 28,800 yuan." In the meantime, she kept digging out the existing female customers in her mobile phone to look at the reporter. "Do you think this little girl called? Pure ","You can’t Hold this mature ","There is a girl with a monthly income of 5,000 yuan, and Deping Road has a house. Are you interested? "

On the difference between different price points, the reporter learned that the so-called difference between 18,800 yuan and 28,800 yuan is mainly "income" and "education". "There are about 500 to 600 people in the 18,800-yuan library, mainly technical colleges, while there are more than 1,000 people in the 28,800-yuan library, mostly undergraduates." Teacher Wang explained, "No matter how expensive you are, you can’t Hold on. There will be a blind date here later, with a monthly income of 40,000. Her goal is to be successful." According to Teacher Wang, she has more than 900 customers, many of whom have an annual income of 10 million. "I also have hundreds of millions of customers!"

In addition to asking questions, Mr. Wang also "confided" to reporters. "My annual income is 300,000. Last year, I just bought a Qingpu superimposed villa, and I didn’t feel a million or two renovations at all!" She turned out her mobile phone again and clicked on a photo. "This young man is 89 years old, and he is also looking for someone here." From the handsome men and women born in the 1990s to the 60-year-old, from the working class earning 5,000 yuan a month to the social elite earning millions a year, Mr. Wang can "strategize". "Choosing the other half means choosing the rest of your life. What is the most expensive thing you bought after work?" After the reporter answered that it might be real estate, she smiled and said, "It’s not expensive for you to spend 20 thousand to buy happiness."

When asked how to ensure the authenticity of the blind date information, Teacher Wang revealed, "Think about it, people who pay for blind dates are just like you. How can they lie?" She said that on the premise of believing in the sincerity of customers, she would ask the other party to provide copies of ID cards, real estate information, education certificates, etc. When asking whether there was fraud, she promised that all the customers were paying customers and there was no fraud.

An hour later, the reporter was still unmoved, and she observed the words and made a new move. "You are a post-90 s generation, you can enjoy ‘ Love fund ’ This is the integral of the matchmaker. " She explained, "For example, if you buy a service of 28,800 yuan today, then I can help you to rise to 48,800 yuan for free, and in the same way, buy a file and upgrade a file." Seeing that the reporter still didn’t respond, she urged, "The director is here today, and he can help you to get promoted. You can only enjoy it when you come for the first time after 90, and you won’t have a chance next time."

When the reporter said that he just wanted to know today and didn’t sign the contract, Teacher Wang persuaded him, "‘ Marriage ’ A word is a ‘ Female ’ Add ‘ Faint ’ When you get married, your IQ is zero, and you can fall in love on impulse! " Seeing that the reporter was still unwilling to sign the contract, she asked if there was anything to hide. When the reporter answered that he needed to discuss it with his mother, she suggested, "You should call your mother now to communicate. ‘ Love fund ’ Free upgrades can only be enjoyed for the first time. "

In the end, after spending an hour and a half in the room, Ms. Wang "let" the reporter go after the reporter repeatedly refused.

Then, after signing the contract and paying tens of thousands of fees, can you really find the ideal partner? The experience of several complainants shows that the money has been smashed out, but the "happy engagement" has still disappeared.

Case 1: The blind date is "not worthy of the name and full of loopholes"

The poem describes his own experience with "nightmare". White and delicate, she is in her thirties, and she earns more than 200,000 yuan in market analysis in foreign companies. In December, 2016, jiayuan VIP Service Center called to recommend "one-on-one matchmaker" service to her. Considering the pressure at home and the age of "leftover women", she decided to give it a try.

On December 22, 2016, Xiao Shi met Ms. Kong, the "matchmaker", at jiayuan Pudong Avenue Store. Ms. Kong assured her that the blind date must be "the right person" — — Introduce a man who pays the same fee to her. On the same day, she paid 28,800 yuan to become a "Jade Member". The reporter saw that the contract stated the man’s "hard indicators" such as "monthly income above 15,000", "housing", "age difference within 10 years" and "bachelor degree or above".

At 3 pm on December 31, 2016, Xiaoshi met the blind date at Pudong Avenue Store — — Mr sun. In the compartment in the store, the two sides talked about life and ideals. When asked about the job, she readily "told the whole story" about the company’s position and place of work, but when she asked back, the other party was very embarrassed and only answered "working in Huangpu District" and kept silent. Less than five minutes later, Mr. Sun left first on the grounds of "something".

The second object is even more outrageous. The photo sent by "Matchmaker" is obviously a thin guy, but the real person has become a middle-aged fat uncle! "This is a blind date? After I paid the money, I became a sucker. I felt that I had suffered a "fake blind date" and decided to "get justice" from jiayuan.

On January 12, Xiaoshi came to the store again. Ms. Kong, the "matchmaker", denied that she had promised to introduce a paid man to meet her, and the information on the blind date was also "full of loopholes". First of all, there is not even a school official seal on the copy of Mr. Sun’s academic qualifications; The company on the business card provided is "Boke International Trading Company", but the information sent by the matchmaker was "Boston Science and Technology Company". Apart from these two points, Mr. Sun’s registration information is just a handwritten form — — Only the name and phone number are on it. As for the information of the second object, Ms. Kong simply replied that she could not produce it.

Xiao Shi, who wants a refund, will be sent home and wait for 7 working days. Seeing that there was no reply after the appointed time, she called the 12315 rights hotline for help. "The blind date became a farce and I felt like a joke." During the interview, Xiao Shi couldn’t help crying many times.

On February 28th, 2017, jiayuan Pudong Avenue Store called Xiaoshi to offer a full refund, and the two sides are still in further negotiation.

Case 2: "Run out" of meeting opportunities within one week.

Chen Ye, who made the same phone call as Xiao Shi, suffered a similar situation.

On January 17th, 2015, Xiao Chen, who participated in the offline friendship of jiayuan in liouhe rd, Huangpu District, was dragged into a room by the matchmaker alone. Born in 1989, he is an automobile engineer. He is busy working overtime on weekdays and rarely comes into contact with the opposite sex. After more than two hours of hard work, the matchmaker signed a package with a contract period of six months and three blind date opportunities at a price of 12,800 yuan. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen’s serious six-month expectation was all sent away in a week.

Xiao Chen told reporters that in a week, "matchmaker" arranged three meetings for him, and after three meetings, there was no news. What he can’t accept most is that in every contact, such as basic information such as age, education, work, etc., the other party answers prevaricated, while others are absent-minded and indifferent. Within a week, Xiao Chen used up all the opportunities, and 12,800 yuan also "hit Shui Piao".

What makes Xiao Chen even more strange is that his matchmaker has deleted all his WeChat friends. "How can I communicate with them?" Xiao Chen sighed.

Case 3: Say "Pay" and see that "Pay" is really a waste of water.

As for Xiao Li, because of his higher income and older age, he chose a 50,000 yuan package to find a good wife. "Matchmaker took out a tablet computer to introduce me to her resources before signing the contract," he recalled. "What I value most is that jiayuan assured me — — The object of blind date is definitely the same as me. "

But what is the actual situation? According to the contract, Xiao Li had six blind date opportunities within eight months. After signing the contract, he met with four ladies one after another. Among them, "Matchmaker" introduced a music teacher who was in a university in Nanjing and arrived in Nanjing with expectations. As a result, the two sides met for less than three minutes, and the "music teacher" left on a perfunctory excuse. "I met four candidates, and everyone was absent-minded and insincere."

Xiao Li, who was consciously fooled, repeatedly asked whether the "matchmaker" was a paying customer like herself. "It took so much money, and just a few meetings were so extravagant?" In the face of his questions, "matchmaker" did not respond and never contacted Xiao Li again. Until December 2016, Xiao Li took the initiative to contact jiayuan to refund the fee, and the other party replied bluntly, "You have seen four, and it is impossible to refund the money."

"What’s the difference between such a one-on-one matchmaker service and going online to find someone to date? After using up the number of meetings, we will become lambs to be slaughtered! " Xiao Li summed it up.

Jiayuan: There is no promise that it must be a paying user to come to blind date.

On March 1, 2017, the reporter contacted jiayuan Huangpu Store by telephone, and the regional manager, Manager Wang, was interviewed by the reporter. She said that the offline matchmaker service in jiayuan does not guarantee that the blind date must be a paying user, and "matchmaker" will decide the right person to meet according to the specific situation of customers. She told reporters that the situation of Xiao Shi and Xiao Li needs to be further verified with the staff. As for Xiao Chen, she said that she had contacted him many times before, but the negotiations had been fruitless. "Why did Mr. Chen wait for a year to complain? Just want a full refund? " Manager Wang asked the reporter. At the same time, she also said that if jiayuan does have problems of principle, such as "dereliction of duty, work deviation, inconsistent information, etc.", it will definitely take responsibility.

Regarding manager Wang’s question, Xiao Chen said, "I found a poem and Xiao Li who suffered similar experiences on the Internet, which made me summon up courage to defend my rights." At first, Xiao Chen thought he might be a case. "I didn’t expect to join the QQ group and find that such situations abound all over the country. When I said that it was exactly the same," Xiao Chen told reporters, "After everyone discussed it, they called the phone to defend their rights."

As an online dating website that claims to have 170 million high-quality members, whether the jiayuan Matchmaker service with the concept of "building a platform for real dating and serious dating" has been "true" and "serious", three complainants have said that they have been "cheated", "the high service fee, the flawed blind date and the inconsistent rhetoric must let everyone see the true face of the jiayuan Matchmaker service!" The words in the poem speak out everyone’s voice.

Ex-3: Goodbye to Ex-3

1905 movie network news Almost 1.5 billion! Can’t human beings stop the box office from continuing to blow out?

Going to see "Previous 3" again, there was another wave of people of all colors crying in the cinema. In the scene watched by Xiao Dianjun, some people did leave because of boredom, but more of them cried, and Xiao Dianjun’s lovers and friends even broke up because they watched this movie together.

It’s not that Ex-3 is poisonous, but how many relationships have you had since 1995? The success of "Previous 3" depends entirely on how unforgettable the love of the post-1995 generation is, which is a serious blow to the vast number of singles in the country like Xiao Dianjun.

Stills of "predecessor 3"

As of press time, "Former 3", which was released only 11 days ago, has entered the top 10 box office of Chinese films in mainland film history and became the first explosive film in 2018. The final box office of "Previous 3" is still difficult to predict, and the prediction of Cat’s Eye has been changed again and again, reaching 2.278 billion now. Today, let’s take a look at the success of "Former 3".

After 95, men and women became the main consumers in the town with stories.

The consumption of real money confirms the analysis portrait of big data for the audience of "Former 3". We have checked the data of Tencent Index, Baidu Index, Cat’s Eye and Taobao Film, etc. The audience of "Former 3" has the highest age proportion of 20-24 years old, accounting for 40% of the total number of samples surveyed on all platforms, and even nearly 24% of teenagers under the age of 19 have shown their interest in "Former 3". It seems that the box office spending power of today’s post-95 s and even post-00 s can’t be underestimated.

Box office age distribution

Where are these young people from?

From the data of active areas summarized by various platforms, nearly half of the audience of "Former 3" are concentrated in third-and fourth-tier cities.

Geographical distribution of box office of "predecessor 3"

We further compared the audience who marked "Former 3" on the ticketing platform before and after the film was released. During the period from December 1, 2017 to January 7, 2018, the number of people who marked "Former 3" as "wanting to watch" on the Taobao Film platform increased by 210,000, among which the growth in third-and fourth-tier cities exceeded 105,000.

Box office statistics

Living in small towns, these "story-telling" post-95 young men and women seem to be more easily moved by the "ex" stories close to their emotional life.

This is also reflected in their scoring: among the more than 1 million viewers who scored on the Taobao Film platform, those under 19 and those aged 20-24 gave 9.2 and 9 respectively, which was higher than the overall average score of 8.9 in Previous 3.

The audience aged 20-24 scored 9.3 points.

The data of the cat’s eye platform is even higher, with the audience aged 20-24 scoring 9.3, and the audience under 20 scoring as high as 9.4.

Sex ratio of audience

When we carefully browse the feedback posted on the ticketing platform, we find that most people in the general audience have no intention to discuss the details of the plot, the performance is good or bad, and the stars are there. Instead, they are used to sharing their painful experiences in love with more than half of the space and expressing their feelings from the characters.

Taobao Film user "Imnot Mammal" left a sad but decisive message: I like you, but if you don’t care about me, I will still leave you.

ID "Penghui 0814" mentioned that he had just experienced the same breakup as "Ex 3". Although it is unforgettable so far, he believes that a decent exit is a wise choice.

The same thing happened to Louis Yuanbao. They were still lovers when they bought tickets, but they became predecessors after watching the movie. Together with 9500 like netizens, we have read their feelings for more than three years from TA’s hundreds of words of comments, and hope that he will be happy after graduation for half a year.

The girl named "We are all bad boys" simply wrote a poem: Treating love is a secret love, a love, a concern and a nostalgia; Is will, is a temptation, is guaranteed, is also a doubt.

It turned out that boys and girls cried and fainted in the cinema, and their predecessors reunited on the spot and suddenly broke up, all of which were not necessarily the outbreak of true feelings at that moment.

This is similar to the outbreak of Fanghua a few weeks ago.

Fanghua

A story about the youth in 1980s and 1990s made a large number of audiences who were no longer young walk into the cinema and feel their "youth" together with director Xiaogang Feng. The "non-mainstream audience" after 50 s and 60 s has become an unexpected factor that triggered the box office to rise.

The same is true for Ex-3: these small towns with private stories in their hearts also found outlets to vent their feelings in this film. They like Ex-3, largely because of this emotional resonance and the touch of substituting themselves.

Douban score

In contrast, the score of "Former 3" is not high on the Douban platform where fans and film critics gather. Not long ago, it fell from above the passing line to the current 5.9 points. Among the top 20 popular short comments, there are 10 one-star comments, and most of the negative comments are dissatisfaction with the professional evaluation angles or three-view levels such as film expression techniques and actors’ performances.

As soon as the heat brought by the award passed, the eco-house fell into a state of lack of attention. The government has still not promoted eco-houses as model houses. In 2012, the director of Anji County New Rural Construction Guidance Center said: "Ren Weizhong’s concept is modern and too avant-garde. Maybe people with high cultural level can appreciate it, but the people in Anji have not reached this level."

This may be true. Farmers still build villas and do not agree with Ren Weizhong’s ecological houses. In 2009, patches of cement-built farmers’ relocated houses and villas surrounded the eco-house base into an island.

Spreading rammed earth technology in "mud school"

But Ren Weizhong didn’t give up. As the saying goes, there is a thousand-year-old earth wall, but there is no hundred-year-old brick wall. Since 2012, he has calmed down and devoted himself to doing a lot of experiments to study the performance of rammed earth and refine its ingredients.

He tried different proportions of rammed earth materials for each house in order to find out the best structural proportion of materials and solve the common wall cracking problem in traditional rammed earth buildings. The low rammed earth wall in the yard of the base has different colors and textures, which is also the experimental body of rammed earth performance. In addition, he also explored the use of soil, developed the use of light clay as thermal insulation material, and tapped the decorative properties of soil. The plaster mixed with lime and soil developed by him shows the touching texture of Italian plaster.

From 2005 to 2014, the eco-house had no income for ten years, and Ren Weizhong was unwavering. After three years of research and development experiments, in 2015, he sold the first mud plastering material, and the situation opened. He began to serve as the soil technical director of some well-known homestay projects, and his rammed soil technology is also being used in Qinghai ancient city protection project. Rammed earth materials are also used in the memorial hall where the theory of "two mountains" was published by General Secretary of the Supreme Leader of Yu Village in Anji.

"I remember when I was a child, my house was expanded, and the wall material was mud, and the soil as a raw material was dug around the house, and the transportation distance was only tens of meters. This material can be transported by hand. A few years after the house was built, the pit that we had dug was slowly filled with the baptism of years, and no traces left by earth borrowing were found at all. After being abandoned, the earthen houses will be razed to the ground after being eroded by wind and rain, so it is difficult for you to find the ruins of these old houses. Everything comes from the earth and returns to the earth. This example fully proves the harmony between man and nature, and the construction process of this earth house has almost no energy consumption and will not pollute the environment. "

A large amount of construction muck is produced on the construction site, which becomes the source of building materials for rammed earth houses.

Some professionals question that the clay used in rammed earth construction will cause the loss of valuable clay resources. Ren Weizhong explained that rammed soil comes from the residual mud and dregs of the construction site, which is neither cultivated soil nor clay, but a kind of sandstone soil. "The waste soil residue on these construction sites is worthless when it is not used, and it even becomes a stacking problem." Ren Weizhong said.

In 2015, the muck mountain in Shenzhen Guangming New District Industrial Park collapsed, causing 22 buildings to be buried, causing a particularly serious safety accident. The problem of the acceptance and accumulation of construction dregs has attracted the attention of the State Council. There are also building dregs in rural areas now, so rammed earth houses can digest the wastes from these construction projects.

In the past, houses were built in rural areas, so a big pit was often dug at the head of some villages, and water was poured into the pit to turn it into a pond for raising fish. But today’s soil is not from the pit at the head of the village, but from the foundation pit of the construction site. He often emphasizes that building a house is to borrow soil from nature, and finally the house is demolished and the soil is returned to nature.

　In recent years, more and more people know about Ren Weizhong, and the ecological environment has been paid more and more attention by the government and all walks of life. Every time I go to Jianshan Village to see him, there are always visitors. He also accepted apprentices and hired people to assist in the daily operation of the ecological base. When there are many guests, his wife will go to the kitchen to help cook, and his son will play in the base yard.

He is no longer a "army of one". He has his own family and successfully established his own team. These people include both local villagers and young people from other places. These workers also look very hardworking and simple. When they sat around a table for dinner at noon, they showed the harmonious atmosphere of the family. The main hall in Room 1 now doubles as a restaurant for visitors, and all the lectures are transferred to Room 2.

House No.2 Image Source: Jushe Image WeChat WeChat official account (2019)

The two-story stone-wood house facing the gate of the base is the second ecological house, and it is also a house that makes me shine at the moment. On the second floor, a large area of windows facing south is opened to introduce sufficient light. The scale of this house is friendly and pleasant, and the colors of old wood, old tiles and stone rammed earth are naturally mixed together. The whole house is like an antique gentleman, low-key and modest. Well-proportioned proportion and classical and simple temperament made me realize for the first time that Ren Wei, who looks like a native soil, actually has a high aesthetic taste.

House 2 is also the most sacred house in Renwei Center, which he called "Mingtang". The upper floor of the house is used for lectures and training, and the wooden frame comes from the old house where the captain’s family used to be produced. The ground floor is used to show the research results of rammed earth building materials. Like the mineral exhibition platform of the Natural Museum, rammed earth blocks with different proportions are carefully cut into small square bricks and lined up neatly. Mud has become the protagonist of this exhibition hall, because it is the soul of the "mud school".

"The reason why I am particularly fond of soil is mainly because soil is a particularly environmentally friendly material. Efficient and wasteful building activities in the industrial age may make all kinds of resources in short supply, especially the ecological damage and environmental pollution built in the process of resource mining and material processing cannot be tolerated. However, the earth is the only one with the richest soil, and the soil building will not change the performance of the soil, so it can be recycled. It’s just that at present, we lack common sense and have misunderstandings about soil. It can be said that the purpose of practice is partly to vindicate soil, and soil can also build high-quality houses. As for why mud buildings are rarely taken seriously, it is mainly unprofitable behind them. "

Ren Weizhong’s ecological residential practice focuses on rammed soil, which is not only the natural result of exploring ecological construction, but also the result of the overall environment.

One summer in 2007, Gao Tiancheng, a South African, rented a villager’s empty house in Sanjiuwu, Laoling Village, Moganshan Town, and renovated it with the concept of low carbon and environmental protection on the basis of not changing the original house structure and destroying the overall style. He established the bare-hearted hometown of homestay, which became the birthplace of "foreign music" in China, and opened the prelude to the rapid development of homestay industry in Moganshan. In the process of setting up a homestay, Gao Tiancheng went deep into the rural areas of Zhejiang to learn about the local construction ecology. He also visited Ren Weizhong’s ecological house. In 2015, the hotel industry in Moganshan entered its peak period, and the Moganshan effect drove the hotel fever in the country.

Boutique B&B caters to the mentality of the urban middle class returning to nature and pursuing a high-quality life. Rammed soil has become a popular building material for homestays. This makes rammed earth technology have its place. More and more people ask Ren Weizhong about rammed earth construction technology.

In 2016, he changed the name of "Jianshan Ecological House" to "Mud School" and began to teach students. In August 2016, the first phase of rammed earth training started. Ten times a year, about 180 students can be trained every year. Training fees are priced for public welfare, only to spread rammed earth technology. Some other students stayed and became his assistants.

In 2017, Ren Weizhong won the public welfare grant of "March towards ecological civilization and pay tribute to environmental pioneers" jointly sponsored by China Environmental Protection Foundation and China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation, to train rural craftsmen, returnees and school students, and plans to replicate the model of mud schools in different places. Therefore, in the past two years, he has become more and more busy, and the workers in the "clay school" workshop are busy from sunrise to sunset. After the mud school became famous, the villagers in Jianshan Village said that it was finally set up by him, and the feng shui of this base was good.

Rammed soil has become "noble", pushing up the cost of building houses. I asked Ren Weizhong, who is bent on building houses for farmers, how to solve this problem? He said that rammed earth is expensive in manpower, and the traditional way of building houses in rural areas of China was completed by people in the village helping each other, which can be solved by restoring the way of building houses by mutual assistance. However, due to the loss of young people in rural areas, it seems that the road to restoring mutual-aid housing is long. But the historical process is mysterious and unpredictable. Who knows? Once a thing is regarded as advanced, it will go through the process from the small crowd to the public. Ren Weizhong may have taken a curved road to save the country.

In order to let people experience rammed earth buildings personally, Ren Weijian built House 3. There are four rooms on the upper and lower floors, which provide accommodation for the trainees. The whole house adopts simple modern design, with rammed earth for bearing.

In June of 2020, I was lucky enough to stay for one night. The thin long windows have a European flavor, and the simplest bed and chairs make me feel like I walked into a simple European country cottage. There are only three kinds of building materials in the room: wood, mud and glass. There is no superfluous decoration. Directly exposed mud wall, meet each other with sincerity, the yellow and gray tone, like the warm chest of the earth, feels delicate and smooth, and looks like a texture between cement and paint. The room exudes the aesthetic temperament of simplicity and minimalism.

It’s just an ordinary guest room, but it reminds me of Donald Judd, an American minimalist artist, who used metal plates to create meaningless object forms, showing the high purity of materials. This purity is exactly what I felt in Room 3. But unlike Donald Judd, all the object forms and spaces here point to the essence of soil.

In the early morning, I got up early, and the freshest air in the yard came to my face. There are no less than 10 kinds of vegetables planted in 5 rows, 6 rows and 30 squares. Walking along the path of the yard, the ground is as hard as cement, but it is a dirt road. The two jars of lettuce on the outside of the vegetable garden are full of green, and the cucumber vines on the inside have already been picked out. A line of tomatoes was planted along the low wall, and the fresh red fruits hung down from the leaves. Going over a row of low walls, Ren Weizhong designed a checkerboard-style vegetable bed. Step by step, growing vegetables is like playing chess. Not far from the granary, chicken coop and handmade tofu workshop. Ren Weizhong explained the original intention of designing these auxiliary facilities. "In my mind, the village should first be self-sufficient economically, at least food can be produced by itself, instead of relying on the market, and then it can establish a resource cycle, do not produce garbage, and reduce the burden on the environment."

He integrated biogas and solar energy into the energy used in the ecological house, and also improved Anji’s traditional iron pot bath, which is a multi-purpose firewood stove for burning pig grass and bathing in the pigsty.

At the beginning of the century, families in Anji Mountain Village did not have shower rooms. Firewood stove and iron pot bath are rural living facilities that make us Shanghai high school students feel incredible. People wash in the pot and the firewood burns under it. Isn’t that person a stewed pig’s trotters? The students are all afraid to try iron pot bath. Only one naughty boy tried it. He excitedly reported the first bath experience, and it was very comfortable to bathe in an iron pot with a diameter of nearly one meter. However, when he was drunk, the pig on the side screamed, which scared him to start from a pot of water and ended in a mess. The improved iron pot bath still retains the firewood stove, but it is moved from the pigsty to the bathroom. Ren Weizhong’s son became the first person who tried to wash the pot, and the little guy sang with the happy bath water. I found that his interior design was inspired by traditional rural life. He often mentions the details of his childhood life. In a sense, Ren Weizhong acted like an independent contemporary artist, building an ideal "Utopia" on the barren beach.

The dream of an agricultural ecological village with unchanging initial intention

"I have always had the greatest wish, that is, to build an ecological village where people and nature live in peace, and no longer let buildings that consume a lot of cement and steel bars and are not in the middle of the ocean occupy precious land. This idea is my dream that I have been struggling for more than ten years."

On that midsummer night 19 years ago, in the farmhouse yard at the foot of the mountain in Tongli Village, Ren Weizhong talked to my classmates and me about this dream of building a village. We felt that this man was still dreaming at his age. Over the years, I have taken my friends to visit the "mud school" every year, and everyone was deeply moved by his work. What Ren Weizhong wants to do most is to build an agricultural ecological demonstration village, popularize environment-friendly rural housing, and at the same time realize that the village economy does not depend on the city, and all kinds of resources circulate internally, and take the mode of sustainable development. The inspiration of the eco-village comes from Dazhai, taking the spirit of self-reliance, hard work and collectivism in Dazhai.

Although it seems difficult to achieve the goal of eco-village, times have changed and everything has developed in a favorable direction. First of all, Ren Weizhong built the rural ecological house and improved the core rammed earth construction technology. Ecological residence is regional, and rammed earth building materials are universal. From eco-house to rammed earth construction technology, Ren Weizhong put forward a solution to make eco-house universal, and entered the market through homestay buildings, which was connected with people’s real life. In this sense, Ren Weizhong is somewhat like a building materials developer.

Secondly, people’s ideas in rural society are constantly evolving. From the perspective of construction practice, modern building materials such as reinforced concrete have entered the countryside for more than 30 years. In the process of long-term living and use, the problems of these building materials are gradually exposed, and the countryside is also learning lessons, constantly reflecting and improving the construction of houses. The way of sticking tiles on the external walls of houses in the 1990s has been eliminated. However, the popularization of rammed earth buildings needs to solve some technical and cost obstacles. Farmers hope to build houses high, but rammed earth houses with more than two floors are facing the test. In addition, the labor cost of rammed earth building is high, how to reduce the cost? Whether it is feasible for farmers to build houses with mutual assistance under the trend of urbanization is unknown. From the perspective of living concept, the situation is changing. The transformation and upgrading of the homestay industry gives rural society the opportunity to intuitively feel the ecological living, get in touch with the architectural concept of low-carbon and environmental protection, and reshape the understanding of earth houses. This is a slow and gradual process. The field of self-built houses in rural areas is a fully competitive free market, and farmers will make rational choices, but how to guide farmers to build houses also tests the vision and wisdom of the government.

During the construction of "beautiful countryside", some local governments in rural areas of Zhejiang Province promoted the construction of model farmhouses, notably Wencun Village, Dongqiao Town, Fuyang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, which was designed and built by Wang Shu, winner of Pritzker Architecture Prize. There is also Dazhuyuan Village in Anji, which was designed and constructed by Du Chunyu’s design team of Shanghai Jiaotong University Design and Research Institute. The project won the award of "2016 National Rural Housing Pilot Demonstration" by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

Whether the design of modern rural model houses is good or not, rural society will naturally give feedback. Rural society should be more confident, based on its own experience, and put forward solutions to rural residential modernization. Just like Ren Weizhong, the scheme extracted from tradition may not be perfect at first, but it can be improved in many ways in the future. Farmhouses designed by western architects, urban architects or local people will eventually be tested by rural society. Ren Weizhong’s rammed earth architecture is still improving, and rural society needs more time to digest and understand his ideas and practical achievements.

The evolution of social concepts is inseparable from "potential", which requires observing the trend from the interaction between urban and rural areas. In 1984, farmers began to work in cities. For more than 20 years, farmers moved to cities to build cities. Around 2010, China ushered in a wave of rural construction. Many urban intellectuals, artists, urban white-collar workers, entrepreneurs and even foreigners went to various villages in China to help villages and villagers improve their living conditions and rebuild rural order through various ways, such as poverty alleviation teaching assistants, protection of ancient buildings, revival of folk arts, ecological agriculture, tourist hostels and reconstruction of rural cultural life. The rural construction in China shows the rich appearance of a hundred flowers blooming, and there is a case of "Yangjiale" naked heart township igniting the residential industry. Who knows whether there are future industrial opportunities in these various rural construction projects?

Urban people flow to the countryside, build the countryside, dig deep into various rural resources and develop creative projects, which bring opportunities for rural economic employment, and rural local rural builders like Ren Weizhong benefit from it. However, even if there is a qualitative change in the concept of living and construction in rural society, the realization of the ideal of building an ecological village still depends on the return of population from rural areas, so it depends on the general trend of the national economy and the trend of globalization. In such an era of crisis, the vast countryside can become a safe haven. The agricultural eco-village advocates ecological construction, is self-sufficient in economy, realizes resource circulation in the village, and farmers live independently of the city. This idea provides a solution to the crisis for the society. It is the hope of the countryside that bits and pieces of rural construction projects resonate together on the land of China. It is the mainstay of the times for farmers like Ren Weizhong to stick to the local position from beginning to end and seek the way out of rural modernization from tradition.

In a media interview, Ren Weizhong pointed to House No.2 in Mingtang in his heart and said easily, "The pebbles on the wall come from the stream in front of the door. In the future, when this house is demolished, the stones can be returned to the stream." The amateur architect has no obsession with architecture, and his philosophy is Taoist. Everything comes from nature and finally returns to nature. This is the belief and methodology of Ren Weizhong’s ecological and environmental protection cause. There is a cloud in the Book of Songs, "Peace and happiness". Anji has been a beautiful place since ancient times. This is the source of Ren Weizhong’s simple concept. Yes, what could be more divine than nature?

Have you calculated how long you use electronic equipment every day? Dry eyes, itchy eyes, painful eyes, stinging eyes, photophobia, tears, foreign body sensation, etc. How many symptoms have you got? While electronic products bring us convenience, improper use may also cause serious harm to our eyes.

What diseases are the symptoms of eye discomfort often felt in life?

We usually have a series of eye discomfort symptoms caused by excessive use of electronic products, such as dryness, swelling pain, itchy eyes, easy fatigue, blurred vision, foreign body sensation, burning sensation, fear of wind, photophobia, sensitivity to external stimuli, etc., which may be the manifestations of dry eye, asthenopia and pseudomyopia.

How is dry eye syndrome?

Dry eye refers to a tear secretion disorder caused by many factors, with dry eyes as the main symptom. Dry eye sometimes the eyes are too dry and the basic tears are insufficient, but it stimulates the secretion of reflective tears, resulting in frequent tears.

Main symptoms: dry eyes, easy fatigue, itchy eyes, foreign body sensation, burning pain, sticky secretions, fear of wind, photophobia and sensitivity to external stimuli.

How is visual fatigue?

Visual fatigue is not an independent disease, but a group of fatigue syndrome caused by various reasons. Visual fatigue is mainly caused by the decrease of blinking times when people concentrate on watching the screens of electronic products such as TV, computer or mobile phone, resulting in a corresponding decrease in tears secretion, and at the same time, the flashing screen strongly stimulates the eyes, which will cause and aggravate various eye diseases.

The main symptoms: eye fatigue, dry eyes, foreign body sensation, heavy eyelids, blurred vision, photophobia and tears, eye swelling and pain, eye congestion, headache, dizziness, nausea, listlessness, inattention, memory loss, loss of appetite and other systemic symptoms. A few patients may have diplopia, stereoscopic vision dysfunction, elevated intraocular pressure, corneal damage, etc., and teenagers may also have myopia or deepen myopia.

How is pseudomyopia?

Pseudomyopia is caused by the continuous contraction and spasm of ciliary muscle and the increase of lens thickness, which leads to blurred vision. If pseudomyopia is not relieved in time, it will lead to the enlargement of axial length and become true myopia.

Can you avoid dry eye symptoms by closing your eyes?

Close your eyes and rest can protect your eyes, but it can’t prevent dry eye. The most effective way to prevent dry eye is to blink effectively. Blink, that is, what we usually call blink.

Can staring at green alleviate visual fatigue?

Green is the most favorable color for the eyes, but just looking at green can’t relieve visual fatigue. The most effective way to relieve visual fatigue is to let your eyes look far away and have a proper rest.

Can anti-blue glasses and anti-blue mobile phone film effectively protect eyes?

It is not recommended to protect your eyes through anti-blue glasses and anti-blue mobile phone film. What is really harmful to the eyes is: short-wave blue light with a wavelength of 400~450.

How to prevent visual fatigue?

● Pay attention to the distance of using electronic products.

● Pay attention to the time of using electronic products and follow the "20-20-20" rule.

● Pay attention to adjusting the brightness of electronic products.

● Strengthen outdoor activities and get full exposure to the sun.

● Maintain hand hygiene and prevent eye infection.

● Strengthen nutrition.

On August 15th, Wei Wenbin, vice president of Beijing Tongren Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, and Li Ying, chief ophthalmologist of Peking Union Medical College Hospital were invited to keep you away from "digital fatigue". Please watch.

　　　　On May 20th, Yolanda, a famous movie star, was invited by a column in Henan Province to promote her latest solo album "Lonely Flowers" in Zhengzhou Grand Shanghai International Studios. After breaking up with her boyfriend Xia Yu, Yuan Quan really became a "lonely flower". China News Agency issued Chen Daishu photo

　　　　Gao Yuanyuan, a mainland artist, snatched Xia Yu from Yolanda. China News Agency issued Han Yibing photo

　　　　There are indications that Yolanda and Xia Yu did break up. So, at least half of Xia Yu’s affair with Gao Yuanyuan is true. Moreover, Xia Yu is not sorry for Yolanda. Single men are justified in looking for love.

　　　　According to the reporter’s witness, Yolanda performed "Peach Blossom Garden" in poly theatre. Xia Yu’s car drove to the door, not to pick up Yolanda, but to enter the coffee shop. Yuan Quan got on Huang Lei’s car from another exit. Xia Yu should know that Yolanda is performing here, but he is no longer interested in being a flower escort. From the expression of two people, Xia Yu looks glum, while Yuan Quan is laughing.

　　　　Earlier, Xia Yu exposed the news of living with Gao Yuanyuan, which greatly damaged his health image, while Yuan Quan burst into tears at the recording scene of Li Jing’s program, and even more, he put a knife in Xia Yu’s heart. Two people break up, although the reasons are diverse, but in this way, Xia Yu is much more passive than Yolanda.

　　　　A love affair that has been going on for nearly ten years, although it has become a spent force in the end, and both of them have traces of struggling to survive, but the breakup still makes the public sigh, as if love has been hit again. Who believes there is still an out-of-touch feeling? Xia Yu is a Scorpio, but Venus falls in Sagittarius, a constellation that pursues sexual desire and does not hide its sexiness. Xia Yu has an open and exposed side in his bones, which can be seen in his dress and behavior. However, Yuan Quan is relatively strict with the package and much lower-key.

　　　　Yolanda Sun and Mercury all fall in Libra, and Venus is Virgo. They pursue perfect love and abstract love, which is different from Xia Yu’s love that pays more attention to sensuality. Their views on love are essentially different. Because you are romantic when you are young, you can play with spiritual love, but the hot-blooded summer rain matures gradually, and hormones burn in the body, so it is impossible to keep the feelings pure and pure all the time. The pace of two people is different, so there is a gap between before and after.

　　　　Two people’s astrolabes show that each other is the opposite sex type that they appreciate, but each person’s personality has something that the other person can’t tolerate. Summer rain is stubborn, Yolanda is cold outside and hot inside, and his temper is not necessarily good, especially when the moon falls on the Sagittarius, and his mood is out of place from time to time. If he happens to meet Xia Yu’s strength, it will be difficult to deal with it.
