For the fairness of every examinee.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 7 (Reporter Wu Jing, Liu Yuzhan) At 8: 30 on June 7, the 2014 national college entrance examination will begin soon. Through the big screen of the National Education Examination Command Platform located in the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education, it can be clearly seen that Li Jinsheng, a blind candidate, with the help of a full-time escort, entered the examination center in Queshan County, Zhumadian, Henan Province, and prepared to take the Chinese subject examination.

Li Jinsheng, 46, is the only blind candidate in China who signed up for the general college entrance examination this year. He will use the Braille test paper specially produced by the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education to answer.

"Don’t underestimate this set of kraft paper papers full of’ points’. From proposition, production to transportation, it embodies the efforts of all parties in the country and society." Jiang Gang, director of the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education, told reporters.

It is understood that in December 2013, Li Jinsheng signed up for the national unified college entrance examination in 2014. At the end of March, 2014, the Ministry of Education put forward for the first time in the annual enrollment work document that it is necessary to facilitate blind candidates to take the exam. In less than half a year, the examination center of the Ministry of Education conducted an "unprecedented" work exploration for this blind candidate to take the exam.

On the work schedule of the examination center, the arrangements for organizing blind candidates to take part in the college entrance examination are recorded densely. First, closely communicate with the China Disabled Persons’ Federation, special education departments and schools for the blind, and study and formulate scientific, standardized and feasible implementation plans and operation methods on the basis of understanding the teaching, learning and examination of the blind; Second, work closely with the education and teaching departments for the blind to determine the curriculum standards, examination scope, proposition principles and requirements of the college entrance examination for the blind; The third is to hire blind education experts and blind teachers who have been engaged in teaching for a long time to participate in the college entrance examination proposition work; Fourth, according to the special physiological characteristics of blind candidates, the examination operation methods for blind candidates to participate in the 2014 national college entrance examination are specially formulated; Fifth, it provides many conveniences for the blind to take the exam, such as arranging the examination room separately, specially equipped with "Answers" to answer questions about the printing of Braille test papers, assisting blind candidates to enter and leave the examination room, and providing stationery for the blind.

According to reports, it is by no means a simple subtraction to make a Braille paper for the blind. Taking the Chinese subject as an example, on the basis of the college entrance examination questions of the discerning candidates, under the guidance of subject experts who are familiar with the characteristics of the blind, necessary adjustments have been made to topics such as charts and graphs that require the visual system to work. At the same time, the amount of touch reading is moderately reduced, the proportion of subjective questions based on writing is adjusted, and the examination time is appropriately extended.

At 12: 27 on the 7th, according to the pre-determined 40-minute extension of the Chinese course for blind candidates, Li Jinsheng solemnly "signed" his name after completing the answer sheet. At this time, he didn’t know that just the afternoon before, the examiners specially changed his seat from a bench to an armchair to ensure his safety.

"All the details should be adapted to the actual needs of blind candidates." Jiang Gang said: "This is not only concerned about this candidate, but also for more disabled candidates to enter the national college entrance examination in the future and enjoy more equal educational rights."

It is reported that China’s higher education has always adopted the mode of single recruitment and single examination for the disabled, and there are three colleges and universities in China that specialize in enrolling students for the disabled. At present, there is no uniform standard for disabled people to take exams in the world.

Clear Water Flows East to this Back —— An Interview with One-way Front, Secretary of Wuhu Municipal Committee, Anhui Province

Xinhua Finance Hefei, January 10 (Reporter Wang Tao) More than 70 years ago, on the river surface of the battle of crossing the river for nearly a thousand miles, "the first ship crossing the river by a million mighty men" landed here;

More than 40 years ago, the "fool melon seeds", known as the "reform primrose" that promoted the private economy, became the imprint of that era here;

More than 20 years ago, Chery Automobile, the flag of the national automobile industry, started here from a "small grass house" on the Yangtze River …

The Yangtze River heading east suddenly turns northward here. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote that "Tianmen interrupted the opening of the Chu River, and the clear water flowed back here", which is what he said here.

"Wuhu has a pioneering environment, and this spirit is also the gene and trait of an important city in Wuhu. It has always relied on this creation to closely integrate the requirements of the CPC Central Committee the State Council, the provincial party Committee and the provincial government with the local reality, and embark on its own development path to support and tolerate the main body of innovation and creation." Wu Hu, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, said in an interview with reporters a few days ago.

The picture shows the secretary of Wuhu Municipal Party Committee.

Wuhu, as the second GDP city in Anhui Province, is positioned as a provincial sub-center. In the first three quarters of 2021, its GDP growth rate was as high as 13.6%, making it the fastest growing city in the Yangtze River Delta region. It emerged from a melon seed and hatched a large number of well-known enterprises such as Chery Automobile, CONCH and Three Squirrels, becoming one of the most successful cities in the past 40 years of reform and opening up.

City and Innovation: Innovation is the most precious development gene of Wuhu.

"Innovation is Wuhu’s most precious development gene, the deepest brand of the times and the most distinctive urban characteristics." One-way forward

Wuhu has an indissoluble bond with automobiles. Chery Automobile, which has grown into a banner of the national automobile industry, has always been associated with Wuhu. It can be said that the automobile gene has been deeply embedded in the city of Wuhu. Looking at the technological innovation path of Chery Automobile, we can see what innovation means to Wuhu.

In 1997, a group of young people with "car dreams" came to Wuhu. In just two years, Chery’s first self-developed car was officially off the assembly line, and then QQ and the son of the East entered the market in mass production. After 24 years of hard work, Chery Automobile has achieved a total sales of 9.2 million vehicles, ranking first in China’s passenger car export for 18 consecutive years, and its business scope covers more than 80 overseas countries and regions.

Nowadays, the new energy and intelligent networked automobile industry has become the first industry in Wuhu, with 311 industrial enterprises above designated size and an output value of nearly 130 billion yuan. It has seven national R&D platforms, including the National Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Automobile Engineering Technology Research Center and the Automotive Electronics Engineering Research Center, and 77 provincial R&D platforms, with Chery and CIMC Ruijiang as the leaders, Yaskawa Electric, Anwar Xinneng and Qidi Semiconductor as the backbones, and Hongjing Electronics, Alfa Silicon, etc.

In 1950s, Wuhu shipbuilding; In the late 1990s, Wuhu built cars; Today, Wuhu has realized the dream of building an airplane. Manned space flight and domestic large aircraft all have the figure of "Wuhu Zhizao". In Wuhu Aviation Industrial Park, since the test flight of the first "Anhui-made" general-purpose aircraft of CLP Wuhu diamond aircraft, the number of orders has reached more than 150 in just over three years.

One-way forward said: "What does enterprise innovation mean to a city? On the one hand, cities should serve enterprises and cultivate excellent enterprises; On the other hand, the city is also infected by enterprises, making the innovative spirit of enterprises become the innovative spirit of the city, and the two sides complement each other. "

To this end, Wuhu continues to create an innovative ecology and enhance the agglomeration of urban elements. Deeply participate in the construction of G60 Science and Technology Corridor, gather and integrate innovative elements, and the whole society’s R&D investment accounts for 3.34%. At the same time, Wuhu is promoting the multiplication plan of high-tech enterprises, the incremental plan of regulated industrial enterprises, and the five-year action plan of listing enterprises, and strive to exceed 2,000 in 2023, and the number of regulated industrial enterprises will reach more than 2,500. By 2025, there will be 15 billion enterprises, 5 billion enterprises and 50 listed companies.

City and business: policy cashing should be as convenient as online shopping.

"China is seen by world cement, and conch is seen by China cement", as the world’s top 500 conch group, many people are familiar with it, but they don’t know that conch was not in Wuhu at first, but only after it moved to Wuhu did it grow rapidly, from a small seedling to a towering tree.

However, the growth of conch is not an isolated case. Chery, the flag of the national automobile industry, and the first three squirrels, the national leisure snacks, are all star enterprises that have emerged in Wuhu in recent years. So what is the password behind Wuhu’s incubation enterprises?

"whether a company can land in one place, in fact, the key is not the speed of doing things, but ultimately depends on whether the company can make a profit. Wuhu first proposed to aim at the average profit rate of enterprises and work hard to create a better business environment by reducing costs. " One-way front representation.

In recent years, Wuhu has taken optimizing the business environment as the key move to open a new bureau in response to the situation, and launched a series of new ideas and measures to create a better business environment, such as "talking breakfast" and "1% work method". Among them, the "1% working method" has also been included in the typical experience and practice discovered by the eighth general inspection in the State Council, and it has been reported and praised.

One-way forward said that whether an enterprise can make a profit depends on two parts. One is its own core competitiveness, but the bigger part lies in the ecological environment where the enterprise is located. From the local point of view, it is necessary to aim at this ecological environment to improve it. One-way ago, we asked 300 enterprises that have a great impact on Wuhu’s development to conduct in-depth research and dismantle their balance sheets. On the basis of comprehensive analysis of the cost and profit composition of enterprises, we set up nine working groups, including energy, employment, logistics, taxes and fees, and financing, to study measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency respectively, so as to help enterprises increase their profit rate by 1% on the original basis.

"Enterprises don’t need you to teach them how to do it. Whether its operating costs can be reduced or whether it can directly lead to a 1% increase in profit margins, enterprises will have real feelings. This is the origin of everything that builds our current business environment. " One-way forward

In addition to this 1% real profit-making, Wuhu’s original "Chatting Breakfast" made entrepreneurs feel warm and respectful, which also became a sample for building a "pro" and "clean" relationship between the government and enterprises. Since March, 2021, Wuhu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government has regularly invited relevant entrepreneurs to have breakfast talks, without presupposing topics, arranging presenters or preparing speech materials, colliding with ideas and stimulating creativity in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and at the same time collecting demands and opinions. So far, 34 "Breakfast Talks" have been held continuously, and more than 180 entrepreneurs and social organizations have been invited to participate.

It is not only a carrier for serving enterprises, but now the "Chatting Breakfast Meeting" even has a "value" and has become the direction for investment funds to follow the map. One investor said that "as long as the enterprises that have attended the breakfast meeting, we can directly invest 10 million yuan to start".

Whether it’s "1% working method" or "chatting for breakfast", all these add up to form a service enterprise system in Wuhu, and one of the standards that Wuhu finally strives to build is to build an online policy supermarket, and standardize many policies that benefit enterprises and talents scattered in various departments on the Internet. As long as the enterprise code, legal representative and registered user name are entered, the policies to be enjoyed will be realized immediately.

"In the past, enterprises were looking for policies, but now they are looking for enterprises by policies. Wuhu should make policy cashing as convenient as online shopping, and finally realize the quantifiable effect of government services, the quantifiable sense of enterprise development and the quantifiable optimization of business environment." One-way front indicates that the 1% work method fundamentally embodies the integration of services.

City and development: development must first become a city of vitality.

"The first step of urban development is to become a vibrant city, and the whole body must be strong." One-way forward said that the positioning of Wuhu as a provincial sub-center is a great expectation of the provincial party committee and government, which is both a mission and a pressure for Wuhu. Wuhu must strive for the first place, no matter in terms of economic aggregate, development speed, development quality, or urban construction. Of course, the ultimate goal is to improve the people’s livelihood and well-being.

To this end, Wuhu proposed to speed up the creation of "the experimental place for new ideas, the birthplace of new things, and the starting place for new products". For example, the starting place of new products should create an environment for new products to achieve the first order, complete the first financing, or even open the first small shop, where products can be distributed, affordable and well-known. This is the vitality of a city.

In fact, whether the city develops well or not, citizens and enterprises have the most say, and they also know best where the city is blocked, painful and difficult. Wuhu initiated the establishment of the "people’s urban construction partner" system, and the first batch of 10 units including Anhui Normal University, Conch Group and Chery Holdings were selected as "partners". This is not only an honor, but also a two-way responsibility.

High-quality economic development is only one aspect of urban development. What is the ultimate goal of urban construction? Wuhu’s proposal to build a people’s city is to respond to the people’s new yearning for a better life with practical actions, focus on solving the problem of "urgent difficulties and worries" strongly reflected by the masses, continuously improve the functional quality of the city, let more public services benefit the people, leave more public space for the people, and show more goodwill and warmth to every interface, every detail and every corner of urban planning and construction management, so that everyone living here can feel proud and proud from the heart.

Who is Wuhu? Wuhu may be an Normal University, Chery, conch, or even three squirrels. The temperament of a city needs to be materialized into enterprises and units, which all represent the different temperament of the city. However, the urban spirit cannot be an empty existence. It depends on these units that were born, raised, prospered and even expanded in Sri Lanka to show the spirit and temperament of a city.

"What kind of attitude do we have towards them? I feel that it is full service to let them grow and develop in their respective fields. Although no one can fully represent Wuhu, they together constitute the style and temperament of Wuhu City. " One-way forward

FSD’s countdown to China, can Tesla recover lost ground?

In April this year, Tesla CEO Musk lightning visited China, and his arrival also reminded the outside world of the discussion and speculation about Tesla’s fully autonomous driving (hereinafter referred to as "FSD") entering China.

In fact, there are many challenges that FSD needs to face when entering China, including data and privacy protection, whether domestic users can accept the charging model, and the approval of relevant departments. There have been many unknowns in this matter.

However, just as the new energy vehicle circle intends to improve its smart driving ability while waiting for the FSD to enter China, Musk said at the just-held conference call of Tesla’s second quarter earnings report that the FSD is expected to be approved in China and Europe before the end of this year.

Under this circumstance, the entry of FSD into China is no longer a "pie", but a "countdown" is officially started. If it goes well, domestic Tesla owners are expected to be able to pay for the use of FSD after half a year. Can this help Tesla recover the increasingly stalled sales in China?

Tesla’s profit margin is under pressure.

While the outside world is concerned about FSD’s entry into China, Tesla recently released its financial report for the second quarter of 2024. The report shows that Tesla’s total revenue in the second quarter increased slightly by 2% to $25.5 billion, but after removing the income from carbon points, the actual automobile sales revenue was only $18.5 billion, down 7% year-on-year, slightly lower than the market expectation of $18.7 billion; Net profit was $1.494 billion, down 45% from the same period last year.

In the face of such a financial report, Tesla’s share price also fell by more than 8%. However, for Tesla, whose share price has been soaring since the second half of the year, the adjustment of the current share price is obviously only a slight fluctuation.

Since July, Tesla’s share price has risen by more than 25%, and even in the first week of July, its increase has erased all the declines in the first half of the year.

The "good" behind Tesla’s share price, on the one hand, is because its delivery volume in the second quarter was 444,000 vehicles, which was 4.8% lower than that in the same period of last year, but increased by 14.7% from the previous month. Considering the relatively weak global electric vehicle market, for Tesla, this achievement has been better than the expectations of Wall Street institutions.

On the other hand, what attracts capital to vote with their feet is Tesla’s "new story" in artificial intelligence and autonomous driving. In April this year, Musk announced that Tesla will release Robotaxi products on August 8 this year (it has been confirmed that it will be postponed until October); In July, Musk said that humanoid robots will be produced in small batches next year.

In addition, as the world’s first "end-to-end" AI autopilot model, the FSD V12 released at the end of last year is also a trump card of Tesla. Insiders pointed out that Tesla may be the most underestimated "AI investment target" in the US stock market. Some analysts estimate that the valuation of FSD business may be as high as 1 trillion US dollars, which has exceeded Tesla’s market value of about 800 billion US dollars.

But to prop up such a huge imagination space, it is natural to have the support of real money and silver. Tesla said in a statement that the profit in the second quarter was mainly affected by "artificial intelligence projects" and "restructuring costs", which refers to the cost paid by Tesla for 10% layoffs in April this year.

However, in addition to the increase in investment, Tesla’s sluggish auto business is the key to affecting the company’s performance. The decline in revenue is mainly due to the decline in automobile sales, while the profit is "halved" because bicycle profits continue to shrink, and the price war brought about by fierce competition in the industry has equally affected every car company.

In the second quarter of this year, Tesla’s overall gross profit margin was 18%, which was higher than that in the past three quarters, but the gross profit margin of automobile sales fell to 13.9%, which means that Tesla’s gross profit for selling a car was $5,784, compared with $13,809 two years ago.

FSD will play catfish again

Therefore, this "FSD entry into China" has also become a key step for Tesla to regain lost ground in the China market, not only to promote product iteration and boost sales in China market, but also to preempt the layout of the intelligent networked automobile market.

As we all know, in the field of intelligent driving, Tesla has always been a "minority". Compared with the lidar route selected by most domestic auto-driving solution suppliers, the pure visual route that Tesla adheres to has not been the mainstream solution.

However, since last year, the domestic "smart driving route" has quietly turned its direction. On the one hand, the rise of the big model has become a new variable. Musk said that after FSD adopts end-to-end technology, it only needs 3,000 lines of code to replace the original 300,000 lines of code.

On the other hand, more and more car companies are actively promoting urban NOA, but compared with high-speed scenes, the complexity of road conditions in urban scenes can be described as a geometric increase. If we still rely on the research and development method of handwritten rules by engineers, it will not only increase the development cost of car companies, but also slow down the progress of "opening the city" of car companies.

Xia Yiping, CEO of Extreme Vietnam, once said that whoever has not landed this year "can drive the whole country intelligently" will fall behind in the wave of intelligence. The intelligent competition of the new energy cycle has reached a white-hot stage, and every car company is naturally "hurry up and don’t hurry up".

It can be seen that "FSD’s entry into China" has accelerated the intellectual competition between car companies, but for car companies, FSD may not be an invincible opponent.

For example, some time ago, Chairman Xpeng Motors went to California to experience the version of FSD V12.3.6, and gave an evaluation of "excellent performance". However, when talking about FSD’s entry into China, he said that it would face more complicated road conditions when it landed in China.

Yu Chengdong, chairman of BU, a smart car solution, welcomed Tesla FSD to enter the China market, but also stressed that Huawei enhanced its perception by using lidar, which made Huawei’s intelligent driving system outperform Tesla in the China market.

However, compared with the optimism of car companies, the view that there is no direct competition with Tesla seems to be more conservative. Some insiders said that Tesla’s chips and algorithms are strongly bound, and the cost is only one-third of that of peers.

In contrast, the domestic automobile products that focus on intelligent driving have not been optimized for software and hardware integration, and more hardware will be invested in the future to achieve the same effect. In addition, Tesla has obvious data advantages. It is reported that the cumulative mileage of Tesla FSD has exceeded 1.6 billion kilometers.

Of course, in terms of intelligent driving, whether Tesla is a "wolf" or a "sheep" will eventually have to wait until the FSD lands, so that domestic car companies and Tesla can compete with each other. But before that, Tesla has obviously become a "catfish", driving the development of the entire intelligent driving industry in China.

Tesla can also accelerate learning in the competition. When Tesla can get more domestic city driving data support, it may be able to take another share in the field of Robotaxi and accelerate the development in the field of intelligent networked vehicles.

Tesla expects to boost sales.

Of course, compared with the higher-order assisted driving explosion, whether it can boost domestic market sales through FSD may be a more urgent task for Tesla.

To be sure, the market has high hopes for the new version of FSD. If the landing effect of China market is amazing, it will not only change the pattern of the whole autonomous driving industry, but also bring "early adopter effect" and promote Tesla’s sales.

But at the same time, there are still many uncertainties about the performance of FSD in the domestic market. First, considering the differences in road conditions and training scenes at home and abroad, it is hard to say whether the performance of the "tiger" FSD is better than that of the "local snake".

Second, it is a question of willingness to pay. After accessing the credit card data of about 3,500 Tesla owners who participated in the FSD trial, some institutions found that less than 2% of Tesla users decided to buy after trying the FSD. It is reported that the price of FSD in China is 64,000 yuan. How many fans can FSD gain under the background that "paid awareness" has not been cultivated in the domestic autonomous driving market?

The most important factor is that intelligent driving has never been the only factor that affects consumers’ car purchase decisions. For Tesla, the lack of new models is the root of its recent continuous price war, and the lack of product innovation can only attract consumers by adjusting prices.

It is reported that Tesla’s new car is scheduled to start production in the first half of next year and will be produced on the same production line as the current model. However, sharing the production line means that the cost of this new car may not drop so much, and it is impossible to spell the "price bayonet", so the differentiation ability of the new car is even more critical.

It is worth mentioning that Tesla also talked about "price" in the financial report meeting. He said that he knew that many car manufacturers offered attractive price concessions, but in the long run, the price war was not a problem for Tesla.

So far, Tesla’s gross profit is still among the top cars, but it has room for price reduction, but it has no "one drop to the end". Although there are considerations such as product matrix and market reaction, instead of "scale rather than profit", perhaps Musk still prefers to use profits to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence and autonomous driving business.

As Musk said, "If someone doesn’t believe that Tesla can solve the problem of autonomous driving (FSD), they should not become investors in Tesla", which may be Tesla’s "long-term doctrine" in the future.

However, at the moment when intelligent assisted driving is rapidly heading for autonomous driving and even unmanned driving, are users really ready for the "unmanned era"?

China’s research team first unveiled the mystery of Zika virus replication in the world.

CCTV News:At present, Zika virus is still spreading in parts of South America and Latin America, and there is no effective drug to inhibit the infection of this virus. Recently, the research team of Tianjin University published a paper in the international authoritative academic journal protein and Cell, saying that the mystery of Zika virus replication was uncovered for the first time, which will provide an important basis for developing anti-Zika virus drugs.

According to experts, the scientific community has not found the means to inhibit Zika virus so far, and the important reason is that it is impossible to understand the replication process and mechanism of this virus. Since February this year, the research team of Tianjin University has started a research project on Zika virus, and has achieved important research results recently.

According to Tian Hongliang, School of Life Sciences, Tianjin University:In the process of virus replication, almost all viruses need a protein called helicase. Our research team’s main work is to analyze the three-dimensional spatial structure of Zika virus helicase and the three-dimensional spatial structure of Zika virus helicase recognizing its genome.

Helicase protein

Helicase protein

This protein, called helicase, plays an important role in the first step of Zika virus replication. Because the Zika virus genome exists in a double-stranded state, it is impossible to replicate the gene in this state, so it must be split into two, and the helicase is equivalent to a pair of scissors, which can cut the genome into two pieces and achieve replication, but this pair of scissors has never been exposed before, so the mechanism of virus replication is unknown. The research results of Tianjin University’s research team reveal the three-dimensional image of a single molecule of gyrase, and thus unlock the secret of how Zika virus replicates.

Janet, a professor at the School of Life Sciences, University of Michigan, USA, who has been working on Zika virus research, said that this is crucial to stop the spread of Zika virus from the root and develop drugs against Zika virus.

【 Hazards of Zika virus 】

In 2013 and 2015, during the outbreak of Seca in French Polynesia and Brazil, it was reported that Zika virus disease might cause neurological and autoimmune complications. In the outbreak of Zika in Brazil in 2015, many newborns with microcephaly were found (the ratio of head circumference of newborns to matched children of the same sex and gestational age was lower than the average by more than two standard deviations). From May 2015 to January 2016, it was reported that 4000 pregnant women infected with Zika virus gave birth to microcephaly, which was 20 times higher than that in previous years.

[The Rio Olympics has not been affected by Zika virus so far]

Brazilian Health Minister Castro met with the ambassadors of EU member states here on February 16th, and assured them on behalf of the government that the current outbreak of Zika disease would not affect the Rio Olympic Games this year.

How can HarmonyOS Zhixing achieve commercial success when the "Four Boundaries" gather at Guangzhou Auto Show?

On November 15th, 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show officially opened. The combination of Huawei’s "four realms" and its appearance on the same stage have become a highlight, which indicates that HarmonyOS Zhixing completed the layout in just one year and officially reached the four realms.

Wen Jie, Zhi Jie, Enjoy Jie and Zunjie are four automobile brands jointly launched by Huawei and Celeste, Chery, BAIC and JAC, which represent the different directions and orientations of Huawei’s cooperation with different automobile companies. Ask the world to focus on SUVs, the intellectual world to focus on cars, enjoy the challenge of BBA high-end market, and respect the ultra-luxury brands.

In recent years, through "intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, intelligent network connection, intelligent electric, intelligent vehicle control and intelligent full scene", Huawei’s presence in the automobile circle has greatly increased and it has been recognized. In fact, at the annual meeting of China Automotive Engineering Society on November 12, Fu Yuwu, honorary chairman of China Automotive Engineering Society and chairman of China Automobile Foundation, told reporters: "ICT high-tech enterprises can greatly empower the automobile industry. It is because of the in-depth cooperation between Celeste and Huawei that the world has emerged, and luxury brands with more than 500,000 yuan can come out. Google also said that it would build a car, but it didn’t embrace the car companies, and the car companies didn’t take the initiative to embrace it. This is a place that China automobile industry is very proud of. We embrace Huawei, because Huawei has innovative character and innovative ability that we don’t have. It is precisely because of Huawei and high-tech companies like Horizon that our automobile industry has today’s confidence. "

Specifically, with the empowerment of Huawei, Celestial, a cooperative car company in China, has become the third largest car company in China in just over three years, and its M9 with a price of more than 500,000 yuan has been listed for a total of over 170,000 vehicles a year, which has smashed the ceiling of the luxury car market with a price of more than 500,000 yuan, which has been dominated by BBA. Car models such as M5 and M7 have also achieved good sales in the market.

With the empowerment of Huawei, Chery, a cooperative car company in the intellectual community, has greatly improved its R&D control, supply control, production control and delivery control. As the second product of Zhijie, Zhijie R7 continues to sell well. After its listing on September 24, it has ordered nearly 40,000 vehicles and delivered nearly 10,000 vehicles in one and a half months, becoming a strong competitor of Tesla Model Y.

With the empowerment of Huawei, BAIC, a cooperative car company in the world, turned Miyun new factory into an eco-industrial demonstration scenic spot, which brought a lot of employment opportunities and contributed to the local economy. HUAWEI ADS 3.0 was first launched by its subsidiary S9, realizing parking space to parking space, crossing the gate by itself, and taking over the whole process of complex road conditions.

With the empowerment of Huawei, JAC, a cooperative car company in Zunjie, will launch flagship models, and the target models are German million-dollar luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Maibakh S-Class and BMW 7 Series. Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, chairman of BG and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, said at the auto show: "Zunjie will be officially released together with Mate70 mobile phone at the Huawei conference on November 26th."

Along the way, from being optimistic to being a great success, HarmonyOS Zhixing has verified the success of the smart car selection model, and is also committed to building a benchmark of technology and experience in the era of smart cars, boosting the upward and high-quality development of China’s automobile industry.

"Me and My Hometown" exposes Deng Chao’s unit trailer, Wang Yuan goes to the countryside to become a child

1905 movie network news After director Chen Sicheng and director Ning Hao, the "Chinese Comedy Dream Team" made another effort! On August 27, the national comedy exposed the trailer of the unit "The Road Back Home" co-directed by directors Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, starring Deng Chao, Yan Ni, Wang Ziwen, Wang Yuan, and Miao Fu all appeared, and Wu Jing, Sun Li, Yue Yunpeng, Jia Ling, Dai Lele, Liang Chao, and Yue Hong were surprised to help out.

The ultra-luxurious cast debuted with a northern Shaanxi accent and a down-to-earth "earthy" style, vividly showing the customs and customs of northern Shaanxi. What kind of story will happen on this "road back home" is full of curiosity.


The film "Me and My Hometown" is directed by directors Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Chen Sicheng, Yan Fei & Peng Damao, Deng Chao & Yu Baimei, respectively. Zhang Yimou is the director of the film, Ning Hao is the director, and Zhang Yibai is the chief planner. It will meet with the national audience in this year’s National Day file.


Deng Chao fattened up and starred in the local big-money partner "Shopkeeper Tong" Yan Ni returned to her hometown

Wang Yuan went to the countryside and became a "soil baby" audience who couldn’t recognize it


The camera of "My Hometown and Me" in "The Road Back to My Hometown" is aimed at northern Shaanxi, China. Qiao Shulin, a "Sand Apple" dealer played by Deng Chao, has a comb of oil hair, a pair of sunglasses, and a handbag. He opens his mouth and comes to 20 million in business, just like a "local money". Why was such a successful person disliked by Yan Feiyan (played by Yan Ni), the senior sister of the same school and the queen of e-commerce? Why was he stamped as a "liar" by Jessica (played by Wang Ziwen), the assistant of the senior sister?

The two were forced to embark on the road back to their hometown together because they went back to their alma mater to participate in the school celebration, with constant twists and turns along the way and constant friction. In the preview, Qiao Shulin also showed another pair of "soil-eating" faces: together with his fellow villagers, he dug holes and picked sand to carry wood, and he was different from the "big money" image. What secret was hidden behind his identity?


In order to star in the Northwest Han Ziqiao Forest, Deng Chao revealed that he ate a lot of northern Shaanxi pasta and mutton to gain weight, "I hope there is more local oil and water in my body", and spent a lot of energy learning the northern Shaanxi dialect. On the spot, Yu Baimei, Yan Ni, and Miao Fu three Shaanxi people took turns teaching, and made rapid progress. Yan Ni, who has worked with Yu Baimei’s director 5 or 6 times, was called the perfect choice to play the eldest senior sister by him. "As a standard Shaanxi person, I fully understand the emotions of Shaanxi people, and can best deduce the state of a wanderer returning to his hometown."

In "The Road Home", Wang Ziwen plays Jessica, the assistant of the eldest senior sister. This character grew up in the city and returned to his hometown in northern Shaanxi with his boss. He also wears a pair of high heels to go downhill. Wang Ziwen admits that "every step is taken with gritted teeth, but the crooked posture adds a lot of comic effect to the character."

Wang Yuan is the actor who can be called the biggest breakthrough in the entire crew. He has changed from the bright appearance of an idol in the past to play Xiao Han, a rural teacher. His skin is dark and his shape is full of earthy smell. He reads He Jingzhi’s poem "Return to Yan’an" in a thick northern Shaanxi accent, "I hold on to the loess, and I stick it tightly to the nest of my heart", which instantly makes people forget his original appearance. Deng Chao said that after watching the movie, he thought Wang Yuan acted very well, "very simple and natural, and he also has Shaanxi genes. He is definitely the best candidate. Facts have proved that the cooperation is too happy." Miao Fu’s Wei Peng is full of joy, and director Yu Baimei once invited him to play, "There is a very deep local flavor in the play, and there must be excellent local actors to support it. I can’t think of anyone who can replace him."


The surprise revealed in the trailer did not stop there. Wu Jing, who had collaborated with Deng Chao and Yu Baimei in movies, played a northern Shaanxi boss in "The Road Back Home", wrapped in a white towel and speaking in northern Shaanxi dialect. Although Sun Li only had a glimpse in the trailer, the stewardess’s appearance was impressive.

Yue Yunpeng and Jia Ling confessed affectionately that "I love you now". Could it be that the two play a pair of CP this time? Dai Lele and Liang Chao have also cooperated with the director many times. Yue Hong’s mother Gao is the first teacher of the local school. She has been educating children for decades and is determined to get everyone to pass the exam. She is a key figure in the story. Deng Chao and his "local flavor township party" embarked on the road back to their hometown together, and the strong local feelings of northern Shaanxi are about to emerge.


Deng Chao and Yu Baimei use the movie to pay tribute to the hero of sand control

"Me and My Hometown" Awakens All Chinese People’s Homeland Connection


The newly released trailer also reveals the creative background of the film. The trailer begins by mentioning the Mu Us Desert, one of the four major deserts in China. The yellow sand for days and days cannot be seen at a glance, and the "sandstorm effect" can be felt through the screen. "The mountains are bald, and the beaches have no forests. The yellow sand is rolling, and there is no harvest for ten years" is a true portrayal of the local area. Many residents have to stay away from their hometowns to make a living. It is gratifying that this is only the former Mu Us Desert. Now this land is no longer barren, but green and prosperous, completely rewriting the history of "sand advances and people retreat". Even director Yu Baimei returned to his hometown and was shocked by such earth-shaking changes.

Such a change is inseparable from the hard work of countless sand control heroes, who share the dream of planting trees to control sand. Qiao Shulin, the protagonist of "The Road Home", is also a fruit merchant who grows apple trees. Deng Chao said emotionally: "Trees are a metaphor for tenacious vitality. Even if people have left, the trees are still growing, and the people who return to their hometowns are generation after generation. This nostalgia is the same as that of big trees, and it is endless."


Last year’s National Day file, through seven historical moments, ignited the memory of the whole people, and also won the National Day file championship with more than 3.10 billion box office results. Today, "My Hometown and I", as a sister piece of "The Motherland", spans all corners of the world. Through five hometown stories, it awakens the most sincere and simple homeland feelings in the hearts of all Chinese people, and presents it in the form of comedy, which makes people feel moved and powerful in laughter and tears.

In the previously exposed unit story, "A UFO Falling from the Sky" directed by Chen Sicheng depicted the beautiful mountains and rivers in the southwest region. After the trailer was released, it became the first short video platform to broadcast over 100 million movie trailers after the theater resumed work; "Beijing Good People" directed by Ning Hao showed the variety of life in North China, and the topic "Ge You plays Beijing again" ranked 11th on Weibo’s trending topic list and No. 1 on the same city list in Beijing; this time, "The Road to Homecoming" directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei interpreted the customs of the northwest region. The footprints of "My Hometown and Me" have crossed more than half of China. The "Chinese Comedy Dream Team" worked together to create a national comedy feast and set foot on the "road to homecoming" together.

Jackie Chan’s retro look on the cover of "Revolution of 1911" is not a "star film"


Jackie Chan on the cover of the magazine

    The film will be released nationwide on September 23. Jackie Chan, the film’s director and star, appeared on the cover of the September issue of "Bazaar Men" a few days ago. The retro shape is matched with the background of war explosions, echoing the theme of "100 Years of 1911".

    In an interview with reporters, Jackie Chan confessed to making "Revolution of 1911" because "many young people only know Harry Potter, and they need to be reminded to remember history." He insisted on making the film an epic masterpiece. "We are making a historical film today, not a star film."

Say origin

Many young people only know Harry Potter, and I want to remind them to remember history

    A hundred years ago, the Revolution of 1911, the situation, during which heroes emerged, a series of historical events aimed at *** the world and saving the Chinese nation from danger appeared one after another. The epic masterpiece "Revolution of 1911" originated from the previous cooperation between Shanghai Film Factory and Jackie Chan. During the discussion, the two sides collided with the topic of "Xinhai". After some explanation, Jackie Chan immediately decided to devote himself to this film.

    Speaking of the beginning of the film’s preparation, Jackie Chan bluntly said that he was in awe of history. "I believe that through this drama, more people will understand the 1911 Revolution and the pursuit of democracy by that generation. There is less and less mention of the 1911 Revolution, the Huanghuagang Uprising and even Huang Xing, and the new generation can easily forget history. Many of them only know Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings. We make this kind of historical theme in the hope of reminding young people and hoping that they will reread history. So I put aside other things and make this movie!"

Say partner

The division of labor is different, Zhang Li takes the car and I drive

    As a native of Hong Kong, Jackie Chan confessed that he was "very unfamiliar with the centenary of 1911, and I don’t understand many things". The addition of director Zhang Li has greatly increased the confidence of director Jackie Chan, and the two are co-directing the film.

    How is the division of labor between the two? Jackie Chan revealed that in the process of early conception and specific shooting, he has the voice over and dominance on historical issues to his partner Zhang Li, and he is responsible for co-ordination and overall operation. Regarding the first collaboration between the two directors, they were tacit and seamless. Jackie Chan said figuratively: "He drove, I took the car, and he drove as he said. At the fork in the road, I said I should take this line, so take this line."

Games have an "unexpectedly" new value

  Editor’s note:

  In recent years, the rise of online games has attracted great attention from all walks of life. Mr. Fang Zhenghui’s article "Games have" unexpectedly "acquired a new value. Rational and emotional are intertwined, and memories and prospects are accompanied by each other. It is like a spring breeze to read, and it is deeply beneficial to read it carefully.

  The happiness of childhood accompanies the game, and the process of growth accompanies the game. The author starts from the colorful childhood memories to talk about the game, which seems to be tranquil and peaceful, but also deeply "unexpected". He analyzes the relationship between virtual world games and real world life, and the impact of games on people’s lifestyle, spiritual world, and cultural concepts. Then he reveals with an insightful perspective: in the general trend of Chinese enterprises "going global", online games have established camps and fought overseas with their unique civilian and capital advantages, and have broken out into a world. In fact, they have become the bearers and disseminators of Chinese culture. As an important part of the digital economy, games and the real economy promote each other and develop together, and become the embodiment of a country’s hard power in science and technology and soft power in culture.

  Perhaps as the author said, today’s "games" are no longer the entertainment products that can be ignored, nor are they just for urchins, but "unexpectedly" have a new value.

  An old artist, Mr. Ying Ruocheng, once told an interesting story when recalling his childhood: One year during the Spring Festival, when a large family had dinner, he quietly hid in an unknown corner and wanted to see if everyone was in a hurry to find him and then came out to give people a surprise. As a result, no one looked for him. He fell asleep in the corner until he woke up hungry and found that the building was empty and there were only remnants left on the table – everyone forgot about him. Mr. Ying Ruocheng humorously said: Don’t think how important you are, no one takes you seriously. When you heard this story, you couldn’t help but laugh and think about it. Many people will remember the funny thing in childhood when they played games and didn’t care to go home for dinner. A few years ago, the phrase "Mom calls you home for dinner" became a popular Internet celebrity phrase, and the touchpoint that initially resonated was to evoke the memory of people playing and playing in childhood and forgetting to go home!

Games have an "unexpectedly" new value

  The joy of childhood accompanies games, and the process of growth accompanies games. What we don’t understand when we are young is that we grow up little by little through the role substitution and imitation in games. Times change, thanks to the development of electronic science and the Internet, the relationship between virtual world games and real world life is strong, and the impact on people’s lifestyle, spiritual world, and cultural concepts may be far beyond our imagination and cognition. The degree of "surprise" can’t be overstated as "shock".

  Our understanding of online games has gone through several stages of continuous change, and it may also be regarded as a stage of continuous development and improvement of games: at first, the game was relatively simple, entertaining, relaxed and enjoyable, relieving stress, chatting for entertainment, and a little bit of control, which is beneficial and harmless; after that, the game became more and more rich and complex, making full use of the magic of sound, light and electricity technology, integrating life, culture, thought, emotion, history and reality, carrying a certain function of education and dissemination, and began to evolve into a cultural and social phenomenon, which attracted much attention and caused some controversy; then, with the update and iteration of Internet technology and business model, online games have leveraged the rich soil of the Internet to become an industry with great potential and promising prospects; in the general trend of Chinese enterprises "going global", online games have become an industry with their unique folk and capital The advantages of setting up camps overseas, struggling to make a difference, and in fact becoming the bearer and disseminator of Chinese culture, the mission significance is revealed; today, game technology also widely radiates to aerospace, medical and health care, smart cities, film and television creation and other fields, its industrial value is no longer limited to the cultural and entertainment industry. As an important part of the digital economy, it promotes and develops together with the real economy, becoming a manifestation of a country’s hard power in science and technology and soft power in culture.

  Today’s "game" is no longer the entertainment product that can be ignored, nor is it just the specialty of urchins, but "unexpectedly" has "power and value that can no longer be underestimated". Recently, the research group of the Chinese Academy of Sciences released a research report, defining "game technology" as a technology cluster that realizes large-scale application in video games for the first time, with the main purpose of enriching and improving human interaction experience; game technology has become a natural incubator and test field for the innovation and development of many cutting-edge technologies, accumulating a large number of unique technical capabilities; game technology provides a unique scientific and technological contribution rate to our country’s chip industry and important infrastructure such as 5G, and has become one of the important sources of promoting scientific research and innovation development. The report points out that emotional value judgments about games are not conducive to our true understanding of the whole picture of games and the technology behind them. Reviewing game technology from the perspective of scientific and technological innovation will not only help the whole society to re-understand the value of technological innovation contained in the game industry, but also better play a key role in the development process of digital integration.

  The report refreshes our understanding of "games" in concise, clear, accurate and powerful language. This research report has a clear awareness of problems and social concerns. It is not only the result of rigorous academic research, but also reflects a strong humanistic spirit. It is clear, easy to understand, credible, and has considerable persuasive and infectious power. It has brought us many "unexpected" inspirations and thoughts.

  Just a year ago, some media also criticized online games as "spiritual opium", causing an uproar in public opinion. Colleagues and friends can often be heard complaining about children’s addiction to online games, and there are many who think that it should be "completely banned". When the public talks about games, the feelings of contempt, unease and even anxiety reflect the reality that game technology has rapidly expanded and penetrated into people’s lives. This is a normal reaction. However, the statements and practices of some senior "players" are "unexpectedly" calm and representative: games have been around since ancient times and have been evolving, and now they are just electronic and online. Games have a strong social function. For today’s generation of online natives, rejecting and rejecting games makes it impossible to communicate with others. Just like our childhood was forbidden to play, which goes against nature and growth laws, and easily causes loneliness and closure. For online games, it is better to guide them than to block them. Play games with your own children, let the children contact and feel normally, and guide the children to recognize and distinguish the pros and cons of games and high and low technology during the interaction process, so as to gradually improve the children’s independent judgment ability and play the functions of game puzzle, fitness, competition, and communication. In this way, the children will not be addicted to mobile phones, and will also enhance the parent-child relationship. Maybe it is not easy to do this, but cognition determines behavior.

  Technology has always been a "double-edged sword". When humans take advantage of the benefits brought by an innovative scientific and technological achievement, it is in principle impossible to rule out the occurrence of adverse changes. The significance of the rule of law, supervision, and rules is to make necessary constraints and demarcate boundaries, so as to incentivize and protect innovation, promote scientific and technological progress and social development, rather than giving up and putting new technologies in the cold. It is not easy to develop new technologies, and it is also not easy to solve the many problems that arise after technological development. But it is better to have problems than not to have any problems at all. After all, civilization moves forward in solving bit by bit problems, and development is the last word.

  Game technology relies on the support and promotion of content. When games full of Chinese cultural symbols go overseas, they have inadvertently become the messenger of spreading Chinese culture and enhancing exchanges and integration – which is also an "unexpected" joy. According to the data of the global survey report on China’s national image conducted by some institutions in recent years, the young group has a more positive and objective impression of China than the middle-aged and elderly group. The reason behind this is that the young group has no stereotype of China and is less influenced by ideological factors. Second, they have relatively diverse information channels to understand China. They obtain information more through the Internet and social platforms, and their understanding of China is also more diverse and closer to the objective reality of China. It can be said that games have played an important role in it, and there is still a broader development space in the future. Its far-reaching impact is unpredictable.

  In recent years, the overseas market of China’s self-developed games has continued to grow, and the revenue growth rate is higher than that of the domestic market. Many games have entered the top of the global best-selling list, and the international competitiveness has been significantly improved. While attracting players, games with the core of Chinese culture have also become a cultural weapon for differentiated competition in overseas games. Values and worldviews are the soul of the game. Only when the game has rich and valuable cultural connotations can it move the audience from the depths of emotion and make them loyal players. Therefore, for game designers and producers, it is not only necessary to stand at the forefront of game technologies such as multiplayer networking, real-time communication, and holographic images, but also to enhance the content of Chinese culture. To tell Chinese stories well, it must be truly melted in the blood and rooted in the heart. It is not something that can be easily labeled, and players will not buy it. In this regard, we still have a lot of shortcomings to make up for, a lot of homework to do, and a long way to go.

  In the process of Chinese culture going global, there are both intentional flowers and unintentional willows. The same sky and the same land are full of color and color, so as to reflect the magnificent atmosphere of Chinese culture’s tolerance and accumulation. We are optimistic about the irreplaceable role of games in international communication. Confucius has a famous saying, "Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy". The game is a thing, and its magic that makes all kinds of people enjoy it is rarely matched. This alone gives us reason to believe that in the feast of cultural going global, no matter how various roles change, games are indispensable; when technology and art are two-way, and technology and culture are deeply integrated, games will definitely bring us more surprises and surprises.

Chery Tiggo 8 Oil-Electric Hybrid Declaration Map The fuel consumption declared by 1.5T engine is 6.4L

Yichexun A few days ago, I obtained the mixed version of the declaration map from relevant channels. The logo of "hybrid" has been added to the rear of the new car, which is equipped with a 1.5T hybrid system with a declared value of 6.4L/100km.

The appearance of the hybrid version does not adopt a new generation of design, which is not much different from the current fuel version. Only the "hybrid" logo is added at the rear of the car.

The logo and the net on the front face are still chrome-plated, and the rear taillights are designed as through taillights, with dimensions of 4700mm long, 1860mm wide and 1746mm high respectively.

The hybrid version still uses 1.5T, and the hybrid system is composed of motors. Compared with the current fuel version of 1.5T, it will have stronger power and better performance. The official declaration is 6.4L, and the fuel version is reduced by 1L. Since the hybrid electric vehicle is not a new energy vehicle, the main competitor of the new car is the fuel version of the same price, and the advantage is naturally lower brought by the hybrid vehicle.

My gym is closed! There is no shortage of fat, can you get the money back?

  Beijing, Nov. 8 (Xinhua): My gym is closed! There is no shortage of fat, can you get the money back?

  "Swimming and fitness, get to know it", we can always hear the call of "kindness" in the streets and near the subway station.

  However, the gym is like a "love rat". Before you get a card, you are obedient. After you get a card, you just ignore it. If you are not careful, you may "disappear" without a trace.

  "My gym suddenly closed."

  "Come on, turn around, do high-temperature yoga sit-ups, spin pilates, and soak medlar in a thermos; Come on, take a deep breath, swim a few meters in fun run in the morning, and paddle a dumbbell rowing machine. Don’t give up until you reach your goal. "

  The lyrics of Calories can be said to be a true portrayal of contemporary people’s fitness.

  In order to realize "vest line", "A4 waist" and "peach hip" … … Many people "send" money into the gym, hoping to achieve an S-shaped figure and eight-pack abdominal muscles.

  But now, many people find that the gym has quietly closed before losing a layer of fat. He Yuan, who went to college in Changsha, Hunan, encountered this situation.

  He Yuan said, "Before, Changsha Star Burning Olympic Sports Gymnasium held an activity, saying that it was a full refund after the card was issued, and it was returned in ten times and ten months. I got the card in June. Now I have only returned 6,700 yuan, and 12,000 yuan has not returned, and the gym is closed. "

  In the face of substantial discounts in the gym, He Yuan is not without doubt. "I asked many times at the time, and the coach said that the boss was hard in the background. When running private classes, too, private education has been selling for performance, and stressed that nothing will happen, and it will be heart-warming when talking. " What’s more, He Yuan felt that spending a lot of money didn’t produce any effect.

  Zhang Lin, who lives in Wuhan, Hubei Province, also suffered from the closure of the gym and the fact that the money could not be refunded. "Before, I gave two two-year cards to the elderly at home at the Jijian Swimming and Fitness Club on the second floor of Poly Huadu in Yangjiawan, Wuhan. I swam three or five times a month, and the fitness equipment was basically unused. Less than a year now, the gym is closed and I want a refund. The boss said that I have no money and I have to go through the bankruptcy process. "

  "Recently, many gyms have closed down, mainly because the market environment is not good. Now it is common for four or five gyms to appear in two kilometers in Fiona Fang, and the competitive pressure is growing." Xiao Zhu, a gym coach in Beijing, told reporters. According to the report of Forward-looking Research Institute, the fitness industry is currently experiencing a middle-aged crisis, and more than 60% of traditional gymnasiums are facing difficulties in operation and face losses or even closure.

  Prepaid card "pie" becomes "trap"

  There are quite a few consumers who have experienced similar cases with He Yuan and Zhang Lin. According to the "Analysis of Complaints Accepted by the National Consumers Association in the First Half of 2019" published by the China Consumers Association, there were 7,738 complaints about fitness services, and the number of complaints increased by 72.6% year-on-year. "The main reason for the large increase in complaints about fitness services is that merchants run away after prepaid cards, causing group complaints."

  The White Paper on Fitness Industry in 2018-2019 also shows that in 2018, a total of 3,099 gymnasiums were closed, with a closing rate of 4.36%, and 528 gymnasiums were closed within one year after their establishment.

  In 2019, Haosha, a brand with a history of 20 years, became a landmark event. Due to the failure of capital operation, almost all the 160 stores and 300,000 members of Haosha Fitness were closed or transferred, and the employees and member consumers of Haosha Fitness became the buyers.

  At present, Shi Hongliu, the chairman of Haosha International, and Shi Hongyan, the legal representative of Quanzhou Haosha Fitness Club Co., Ltd. have all been listed as untrustworthy by the court, involving more than 1.2 billion yuan.

  "In order to recover the huge investment in the early stage as soon as possible, traditional gyms tend to choose the business model of oversold annual cards (prepaid cards): after the new store landed, it set a higher retail price and launched a low-priced annual card, which formed a large number of advance receipts, and then expanded the new store with the advance receipts, thus falling into an inertia cycle.

  "Buy one year and get half a year", "50% discount card purchase", "mega promotion" and "rebate". In recent years, in order to compete for customers, various preferential activities have emerged one after another in gyms. Once the annual card is issued, some netizens said that the coach will be screaming around you that the movements are not standard and you can’t train, so you can buy private lessons.

A coach commented in Weibo.

  "The oversold annual card model is a bet between the gym and customers. The bet is that customers who apply for annual cards will not come to the gym often." A gym coach said that the advance payment quickly brought huge cash flow.

  There are even criminals who temporarily rent the platform, use the guise of "new store is about to open" or "renovation and upgrading" in the gym, and use low prices or card preferential activities to fool consumers into buying pre-sale cards. Once they receive funds, they will quickly roll up the money and run away.

  "Advance payment is not a profit. Advance payment is used to fill the upfront investment, and it also pays for future membership services, personnel salaries, equipment maintenance and other costs." An industry analyst said that due to high operating costs, blind expansion and other reasons, once the capital chain breaks, it can only be closed.

  Can I get the prepaid money back?

  He Yuan recalled, "One month before closing, it was in the cashback period. As a result, the gym said that the funds were not enough and they would receive it together next month. If only I had paid more attention to it at that time. " Zhang Lin, who ran a member’s gym, was in arrears with the rent of more than 330 thousand yuan and was sent a collection notice by the mall.

  Looking at it comprehensively, consumers need to pay more attention to whether the gym rent is paid in full, whether the staff salary is paid on time, whether the funds can be turned over, etc., to judge whether there are business problems. But once the enterprise closes, how to deal with the advance payment? There are relevant provisions in the law.

  For example, Article 107 of the Contract Law stipulates that if a party fails to perform its contractual obligations or fails to meet the contract obligations, it shall bear the liabilities for breach of contract such as continuing to perform, taking remedial measures or compensating for losses;

  Article 53 of the Law on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests stipulates that if an operator provides goods or services in advance, but fails to provide them in accordance with the agreement, it shall fulfill the agreement or return the advance payment according to the requirements of consumers.

  "These two laws are still in the category of civil and commercial law, and the mandatory restrictions on operators are not enough." Yan Bing, director of Beijing Yuntong Law Firm, told reporters that gyms are basically small and micro enterprises, and it is difficult to find people whether they are closed down or running away. Unless it is in the name of opening a gym, it is a fraud in criminal law to collect money and run away.

  Qiu Baochang, a member of the Expert Committee of the China Consumers Association and a lawyer of Beijing Huijia Law Firm, suggested taking precautions, setting up a special account or condominium account for advance payment, setting up a deposit, and regularly announcing the use of advance payment to consumers to ensure consumers’ rights and interests.
