China has been fully connected to the Internet for 20 years, and the use of various Internet applications by netizens has been continuously enriched. On the one hand, it is the development of the Internet that drives the business model to change constantly, and various innovative applications emerge in an endless stream; On the other hand, the Internet has penetrated deeply into the lives of netizens, and the Internet has already changed from a recreational tool for netizens to an indispensable part of daily work and life.

Throughout the use of various applications by netizens from 1999 to 2014, in different development periods of the Internet, the types of applications welcomed by netizens are also different. On the whole, the use level of interactive participation and information acquisition applications by netizens has remained high; With the rapid development of online games, entertainment applications quickly rose to a high level, but after 2007, they showed a steady and declining trend; Business transaction applications have been heating up rapidly since 2005. By 2014, nearly half of netizens had used the Internet for shopping, payment and other activities.

　Figure 1999-2014 penetration rate of various Internet applications [information acquisition applications include online news and search engines; Online entertainment applications include online music, online games, online videos and online literature; Interactive participation applications include instant messaging, e-mail, blogs, personal spaces, forums /BBS, microblogs and social networking sites; Business transaction applications include online shopping, online payment, travel booking, online banking and group buying. ]

Before 2004, it was the initial stage of the development of personal Internet applications, and the structures of various Internet applications were stable. The interactive and participatory applications represented by instant messaging, e-mail, free personal homepage space and forums /BBS had the highest utilization rate. BBS is popular because people who have access to the Internet are concentrated in colleges and universities. E-mail has become a popular application in the case of limited bandwidth. Internet entertainment applications, limited by the richness of Internet content and the speed limit, have not yet shown the vitality of development. Only word online games have become popular, and some board games have begun to sprout. During this period, the Internet business model is still being explored and established, and the application of business transactions has just sprouted.

From 2004 to 2007, personal Internet applications entered a stage of rapid development. Web2.0 technology with self-organizing and personalized features, such as blogs, podcasts and RSS, made netizens become important providers and disseminators of Internet content. The Internet transmitted information from the initial website to netizens in one direction, and developed into the interaction between netizens and websites, with the form from text-based to more abundant forms such as images and videos. During this period, the application of online entertainment increased most significantly, and the leisure and entertainment needs of netizens were released. The popularity of online games increased from 18.1% in 2002 to 59.3% in 2007, and the online music increased from 13.4% to 86.6%. After 2004, the online video exploded, and the usage rate soared from 2.2% to 76.9%, which made the fixed broadband construction effective and effective.

Since 2008, all segments have witnessed rapid development, with the compound annual growth rate of online recruitment, online education, online travel service, online games, instant messaging and online music market all above double digits. At the same time, the personal internet application structure began to change from entertainment to business. Online entertainment has faded out of the development pattern of Internet applications. Online music, online games and online literature have entered a bottleneck period of development, and only online video has continued to rise slowly. The e-commerce market is booming, and the scale of users of e-commerce applications such as shopping, payment, online banking and group buying has increased substantially as a whole. Since 2011, Taobao has created the "Double Eleven" sales miracle for three consecutive years, opening a new consumption era of online shopping for all. According to a survey conducted by CNNIC, the proportion of online shopping expenses of netizens in the total expenses increased rapidly from 2011 to 2013, which were 10.32%, 13.12% and 17.76% respectively. In 2010, the upsurge of online to offline emerged, and the group buying market flourished. After explosive growth, it returned to rationality and gradually formed a mature business model, which brought new growth points to traditional offline consumer markets such as accommodation, restaurants and cinemas. As a non-standard category, travel booking products are integrated into the Internet, which has spawned a number of excellent online travel booking companies such as Ctrip, Tongcheng and Qunar. In 2013, Internet finance became a hot spot, and the "catfish effect" triggered by Yu ‘ebao had a huge impact on the traditional financial industry, pushing traditional finance to embrace the Internet faster. All in all,During this period, the commercial characteristics of the Internet in China have been continuously enhanced, and the value of the Internet as an economic platform has been continuously highlighted. The development of the e-commerce market in China has won the attention of the whole world. Not only has the online retail market become the world’s largest in scale, but its influence is far from being limited to the development of the Internet industry itself, and it has brought profound changes to society, culture, economy and politics.

When the involution in the automobile market becomes the norm, the pressure on the industry benchmark is often the greatest.

It should not only constantly break through and surpass itself, but also keep an eye on all the ways to prevent the opponent next door from becoming a new leader. For example, Porsche 911 series, such as Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and for example, the brand-new BMW 5 Series that we test drive this time.

This benchmark model in the field of medium and large luxury cars has sold 10 million vehicles around the world, including more than 2 million users in China. This is enough to prove the market recognition of this car, but it also means that it faces the challenges mentioned at the beginning of the article.

Speaking of it, any product can be in an invincible position as long as it can be done in eight words-no one has me, and people have me. But these eight words are not easy to do. There are quite a number of systems and institutions in the car, which should be promoted in the direction of high perception of users within a limited cost range, or exerted in the field of low perception that affects the reliability of the car. This is a big test for a company’s philosophy of making cars.

After a day’s test drive of the brand-new BMW 5 Series, we think we can sum up the highlights of this car with eight other words-"soft" and "hard" and man-machine driving together. In addition to maintaining its consistent sense of luxury and futurity in hardware aspects such as appearance, interior and design, this car also reflects BMW’s understanding of the word "driving" in the intelligent age.

Compared with the technology car-making company that simply frees drivers’ hands, feet and even eyes, BMW doesn’t want to completely separate "people driving" from "driving by themselves", but consciously emphasizes the concepts of "man-machine co-driving", "driving in the ring" and "integration of people and vehicles", so that human drivers can feel involved even with the protection of a high-level assisted driving system.

The model of this test drive is the brand-new 5-series pure electric vehicle-BMW i5. As an electric car, it still has a distinctive BMW family design style. Take the front face design as an example. Although the pure electric vehicle no longer needs the heat dissipation function of the air intake grille, the front face design of the i5 still retains the iconic kidney shape. Not only that, a circle of lights around the kidneys is particularly eye-catching when the ambient light is dim, and the future is full.

On the side of the car body, the smooth lines of the roof start from the C-pillar and adopt the slip-back shape. In addition, i5 is marked with the C-pillar "5" light-emitting logo unique to China market on BMW’s iconic "Hoffmeister Corner", which shows the identity of the 5 Series.

Sitting in the car, the embracing interactive light belt inherited from the flagship BMW 7 Series runs through the entire front dashboard and door, cleverly integrating touch-type car control buttons and ambient light. One-piece suspended curved screen, embracing interactive light band and crystal interior components complement each other in the front row, outlining a visual experience with rich layers and colorful colors.

The driver’s seat of BMW i5 is full of sense of package, and it has enough support while having soft body feeling. Pressing the start button, although there is no pleasant roar when the engine of the fuel car starts, the visual impact of the whole cabin being lit instantly also gives enough sense of ceremony.

Like most models of this brand, the steering wheel of BMW i5 is as thick as ever, but the steering feel of this car is quite silky. In terms of power, BMW i5 eDrive35L provides the maximum output power of 210 kW and the peak torque of 410 Nm. The data is not exaggerated, but thanks to the profound adjustment skills and the power output characteristics of the motor, the response of this car is quick but not "string" at all, and the fault tolerance rate is very high.

On the highway section with good road conditions, this car has full power and stamina. Seeing the speed soaring rapidly, it will not bring the dizziness that most electric vehicles will have.

On the mountain road section, facing the continuous curve with obvious height difference, with each braking and steering, the chassis adjustment skill of BMW i5 can be demonstrated.

QDM, a newly upgraded 9th generation lateral dynamics management system, can be called chassis super brain. It monitors various dynamic parameters of the vehicle through sensors, analyzes and predicts the next dynamics of the vehicle, and then coordinates the functions of the chassis, so that each function of the chassis can cope with it calmly, so that the vehicle can avoid pushing and oversteering in corners to the maximum extent, and then ensures the stability and maneuverability of the vehicle. Thanks to this, the BMW i5 can turn into and out of the corner with elegant body posture.

The new car also adopts the integrated braking system IB 2.0, which takes only 150 milliseconds to fully brake and build pressure, and the braking distance can be shortened by about 20% compared with ordinary vehicles.

Although the industry generally believes that BMW’s handling is no longer pure, it seems to me that both the G-generation 3 Series and this BMW i5 still maintain BMW’s solid handling quality, but now BMW has added a little comfort to the vehicle to better meet the actual needs of more domestic users.

After experiencing the pure mechanical quality, let’s look at its driving assistance level. The activation of BMW i5 driver assistance system is quite simple, just press the corresponding button on the left side of the steering wheel to activate it with one button. Through the Mode button, you can choose the "intervention degree" of driving assistance, and the optional modes range from the most basic adaptive cruise to the most advanced assisted driving Pro.

Take the automatic driving assistance system Pro as an example, its biggest highlight is the function of "changing lanes of sight". When the vehicle is in the speed range of 60 km/h -180 km/h, if the local train meets the traffic conditions, a lane change suggestion prompt will appear on the dashboard. At this time, the driver will take a look at the rearview mirror, and the intelligent driving system will track the driver’s sight and head movements through the infrared camera, and the vehicle can complete the lane change immediately.

In the actual use process, we did successfully realize this function. However, it should be pointed out that domestic drivers usually aim at the rearview mirror with the corner light, so it is difficult to turn their heads close to 90. However, the "line-of-sight lane change" on BMW i5 requires drivers to turn their heads greatly before they can automatically change lanes.

We understand the original intention of the design of the system. Because in many countries, traffic regulations require drivers to turn their heads 90 degrees before changing lanes and stay for 1 second. But in reality, few people will do this, because turning around for a second is likely to ignore the road ahead. At the same time, under BMW’s concept of "driving in the ring", this is also to remind drivers that it is only the auxiliary driving stage at present, and they should always observe the road conditions and complete the driving work with the car.

From the use level, it may be better to use the "line-of-sight lane change" function if the requirements for the user’s turn range and stay time are more relaxed.

In terms of the back row experience, BMW i5 has arranged a 31-inch oversized 8K screen in the back row, which supports the 32:9 panoramic playback mode and introduces applications such as iQiyi video. It is worth mentioning that the BMW suspended giant screen is easy to collect and release, and the front and rear distance can be adjusted adaptively according to the seat position.

Lying in the comfortable seats in the back row and watching TV dramas through the big screen, Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system presents top-quality sound effects, as if it were a private mobile cinema. In addition, Huawei’s application market has been introduced into the back screen, which can satisfy users’ self-selection of applications, and at the same time, it can also realize the functions of playing games, playing videos, attending meetings and so on.

On the whole, BMW i5 has all the characteristics of a large and medium-sized luxury electric car-powerful gas field, avant-garde design, full interior technology and proper layout, solid chassis, abundant power reserve and mature driving assistance function.

However, as mentioned in the article, there is still room for improvement in details. We look forward to a more silky line-changing function in the future, and also suggest making the navigation map better-at least at complex intersections, it can automatically enlarge the scale and give more clear hints.

In the development of science and technology, the automobile industry has always been at the forefront, and advanced technology will take the lead in arming cars. Such equipment is still very popular with consumers. The richness of the configuration is closely linked to the cost performance of a car, and many people have mentioned it. As for its advantages, please read on.

First of all, from the appearance, AION Y’s front face looks more comfortable and looks very concise. Then the exquisite headlight design is adopted, and the visual impact is full. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, delayed closing and so on. Come to the side of the car, the car body size is 4535MM*1870MM*1650MM, the car uses sharp lines, the side gives people a very delicate feeling, with large-size thick-walled tires, giving people a very soft feeling. In the rear part, AION Y’s rear line is domineering and stylish, and the taillights are very fashionable and dynamic, and the whole looks very beautiful.

When I came to the AION Y car, the interior shape of AION Y was more fashionable and deep. The steering wheel design of the car is very soft, made of leather and full of design sense. From the central control point of view, the 14.6-inch central control screen is used for decoration, which makes the interior design quite layered and has a certain sense of technology. The dashboard and the seat are equally eye-catching, the dashboard design is remarkable, and the trendy design elements make people remember it at a glance. The car adopts imitation leather seats, equipped with functions such as electric seat adjustment and seat proportion tilting, and it is very comfortable to ride.

AION Y matching gearbox, 100KW, 176N.m, good power performance.

AION Y trunk space is highly available, and its loading capacity is excellent. The support ratio of rear seats is lowered, and the space can be further expanded. At the same time, the car is equipped with anti-lock braking system (ABS), LED daytime running lights, brake assist (EBA/BAS, etc.), braking force distribution (EBD), traction control (ASR/TCS, etc.), main driver airbag and co-pilot airbag.

To sum up: SUV has an atmospheric appearance, good spatial performance and high cost performance. I wonder if you are interested in it.

1905 movie network news Recently, the film exposed a group of hand-painted posters comparing the ages of dogs and people, which intuitively showed the comparative conversion of the ages of dogs and people in childhood, adolescence, middle age and old age, which not only successfully broke the dimensional wall of the age of dogs and people, but also revealed the dog’s deep affection for its owner. "The dog’s life is not long, so cherish the company time."

In the poster, the little suckling dog, who just had a full moon, became a 1-year-old baby, with clear and transparent eyes and innocent appearance. The dog’s 1 year old is equivalent to the human’s 18 years old. When it wears sunglasses and tidal clothes, it also shows the youth and vitality of "Young Wang"; The 6-year-old dog, however, began to turn sharply. Sitting in front of the computer, it was like a middle-aged man who worked hard at the age of 40, showing mature charm; At the age of 12, the dog’s life is about to reach the end, like a 70-year-old man, emitting the breath of dying. The four groups of hand-drawn paintings contrast the life span of people and dogs, which makes people cry, and at the same time triggers netizens to reflect on whether they have given dogs enough companionship.

The film tells the story that Wang Xingren’s "sister" Nicole, who grew up with her young master Yu Yinuo (Anji), gave her life as a savior, but was bitten by a Tibetan mastiff without a rope. Yu Feng (Huang Lei) and Liang Liang (NI YAN) vowed to get justice for their dog. Behind this "dog bites dog" story, the owner and the dog guard each other to death, which makes people cry. Netizens have expressed their feelings: "The owner is the only dog. He waits for you for half his life and accompanies you with the other half." "The dog that accompanies the owner all his life can’t live up to it."

It is reported that Huang Lei, NI YAN, Han Tongsheng and Cui Xinqin lead the film "Dogs Look at People’s Hearts", with Anji as the starring role, Ding Jiali, Feng Jiayi, Sha Yi, Guo Jinglin and Hu Ke as the guest stars, and Tang Wei as the guest star. The film "Dogs See People’s Hearts" written and directed by the famous screenwriter Wu Nan will be released nationwide on April 20th.

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.

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.

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?

Recently, GAC Ai ‘an released the brand-new car AION RT, announcing that it will be pre-sold globally on September 26th. The new car is a compact pure electric car. It is bold and innovative in appearance, adopts a brand-new design concept, and is equipped with laser radar and advanced high-order intelligent driving system. The cruising range of a single charge can reach 650 kilometers, which is expected.

It is reported that Ai ‘an is fully armed at the cost of AION RT. The official claims that with the unprecedented high value of A+ level, it has surpassed the soft bag space of B level, the high-level intelligent driving of laser radar that A+ level has never been equipped with, and the unprecedented long battery life and silicon carbide overcharge of A+ level, which has achieved the unprecedented leapfrog experience of A+ level.

From the appearance, AION RT’s front face is unique in design, with a closed grille with polygonal headlights and built-in LED daytime running lights, which is fashionable and dynamic. The trapezoidal cooling vents under the front bumper and the special-shaped vents on both sides not only improve the heat dissipation performance of the vehicle, but also add a sporty atmosphere.

On the side of the car body, the new car adopts the classic sedan shape, and the front of the car gyrates to the double waistline at the rear of the car, giving people a magnificent feeling. In addition, the new car is equipped with double three-spoke wheels, hidden door handles and roof lidar, which is both beautiful and practical. In terms of body size, the new car has a length of 4865mm, a width of 1875mm, a height of 1520mm and a wheelbase of 2775 mm. Combined with the body data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, its size has surpassed the level of a B-class car.

In the rear part, AION RT adopts a long and narrow taillight design, and the license plate frame area in the middle of the trunk is cleverly designed and has a strong three-dimensional effect. The double-layer design on both sides of the rear bumper and the reflective strip decoration complement each other, making the overall shape more stable and atmospheric.

In terms of battery life, the official said that the new car’s pure electric cruising range can reach 650 kilometers, and it is equipped with 400V silicon carbide technology and magazine battery technology. It takes only 18 minutes to charge from 30% to 80% in fast charging mode. According to the information previously released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, AION RT provides two kinds of motors with different powers for consumers to choose from, namely 150 kW and 165 kW.

The A+ class family car market is in full swing, and major car companies have tried their best to grab a piece of the cake. The recently released MONA M03 in Tucki is one of the representatives. Now, with the emergence of AION RT, MONA M03 will usher in a strong opponent, and we will wait and see how the final market performance will be.

In the automobile market with fierce competition like battlefield, Geely Automobile is like a fearless warrior. In November 2024, it waved a sales "heavy punch", with a proud achievement of 250,100 vehicles and a rapid growth rate of 27% year-on-year, which shocked the whole industry. By the end of November, the total sales volume of 1,966,500 vehicles and the year-on-year growth rate of 31% showed its unstoppable rise. What kind of secret weapon is hidden behind this brilliant record?

Technological innovation: a powerful engine to drive the future

Geely Automobile knows that in today’s surging tide of science and technology, technological innovation is the foundation of foothold in the market. Its heavily launched Geely Aegis short knife battery is undoubtedly a bright pearl of science and technology, and won the 2025 China Travel Technology Award in one fell swoop. This battery is a perfect combination of safety and performance. In terms of safety, it is like a loyal, extremely rigorous acupuncture experiment, and its safety standards are far higher than the industry average, creating an indestructible "safety fortress" for vehicles, so that drivers and passengers can feel at ease in every trip.

Not only that, in the two key areas of battery life and charging, Aegis short knife battery has shown remarkable strength. It can provide vehicles with a long cruising range and easily break through the 600-kilometer mark, which seems to inject endless power into the car. In terms of charging speed, it has also achieved a qualitative leap, greatly shortening the charging time and letting users bid farewell to the long and anxious waiting. Take Geely as an example, this model equipped with Aegis short knife battery and 11-in-1 intelligent electric drive system is amazing in acceleration performance, and the acceleration time of 0-100 km is significantly shortened compared with traditional models. At the same time, the blessing of FlymeAuto car system makes the interactive experience in the car silky smooth, as if bringing future technology into real driving.

According to media reports, Ford C.EO Jim Farley (Jim Farley)The new electric pickup truck will compete with China’s competitors, especially in terms of production cost. However, it is expected that the model will not be available until three years later.

　

Ford lost billions of dollars in the field of electric vehicles in the first half of 2024, and further efforts are needed to improve profitability.

Jim Farley"It will be compared with China products made in Mexico in the future," he said. He added: "60% of the material cost has been calculated." He stressed that he clearly knew the production cost of the new model.

It is expected that the new medium-sized electric truck will directly compete with BYD "Shark" and other electric pickup trucks. In the scheme of reducing costs, the flexible platform of internal battery assembly and sharing on multiple models is proposed.

　

Jim FarleyRecently, it praised the platform that Ford is developing, and said that it will be used in many electric vehicle models in the future, and commented that together with related platforms, Michigan will start producing LFP batteries in 2026, and the prospect is positive.

However, it has also been pointed out that the time to market is a problem. Ford has changed the electric vehicle plan many times and made different responses to the electric vehicle market, including canceling the three-row electric SUV and diversifying the hybrid vehicles.

　

The medium-sized electric pickup truck named "T3 Project" will be launched at the end of 2027, but no other more information is provided.

Ford plans to produce vehicles in Tennessee, while BYD is considering establishing production facilities in Mexico, with an estimated annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles.

On May 14th, 2024, SHARK, BYD’s first new energy pickup truck, was officially released in Mexico. This car will be equipped with the same DM-O hybrid system of Equation Leopard, which will be officially released in 2024. DMO is an off-road platform mainly driven by electricity, and both the engine and EHS hybrid system of DMO platform adopt vertical layout.

　

BYD plans SHARK.The pickup truck will be listed in the global market early next year, and the estimated vehicle price is about $55,000. This is the current competitive price with Ford Ranger and Toyota Highlux, and Ford needs to build a more competitive electric pickup truck. If the vehicle launch time is delayed for more than 3 years, it is still a question how competitive the relevant models can be in the market. ???

Today, I went to the local Wuling 4S store (Jinan City, Shandong Province), focusing on the market research of Hongguang MINIEV, especially the third-generation macaroon, which has not been listed for a long time in the early stage. As the old macaroon is still on sale, will there be any internal competition between the new and old models? Please read down.

Compared with the old model, the size of the third-generation macaroon has changed. The measurements are 3064/1493/1629mm, and the wheelbase is extended to 2010mm, which is 70mm； longer than that of the previous generation macaroon. The white roof, front and rear white through panels, and the color scheme of avocado green look a little small and fresh, and the changes of the front and rear light groups are more obvious. The oval outline is better than the previous generation, but it always feels a little lost to cancel the LED daytime running lights on the front of the car.

The interior uses an 8-inch touch screen and a 7-inch full LCD instrument panel, which improves the sense of technology obviously, and the air conditioning control area is located under the touch screen, making the operation more convenient; The mobile APP supports more remote control functions such as door unlocking, charging management, car light condition inquiry, car search and so on, and provides multi-function buttons on the right side of the steering wheel.

In the case of long wheelbase, the interior space of the third-generation macaroon has indeed improved, especially the longitudinal space experience. The second row of legs is no longer as cramped as the previous generation. The co-pilot can adjust the backrest forward with one button, but it still feels awkward to get in and out of the second row, and the door is still relatively large. When opening the door, pay attention to the pedestrians or vehicles outside.

The third generation macaroon provides reversing radar, reversing image, uphill assist and main and auxiliary airbags. CLTC pure battery life is available in two versions: 170km and 215km. Among them, the 2024 macaroon 215km supports 0.58-hour fast charging, with a motor power of 30 kW and a total torque of 92 Nm, while the 2024 macaroon 170km does not support fast charging. The motor power is reduced to 20 kW and the total torque is reduced to 85 Nm.

Recently, macaroon, the third generation of Hongguang MINIEV in the store, came to the car one after another, with various colors, including milk apricot coffee and avocado green, and the exhibition car was the avocado green version. In the face of sales, the third-generation macaroon is mainly promoted to prospective customers. To see car customers is basically to measure whether it is worth buying around face value and space.

However, the 2022 macaroon is still on sale, and the preferential strength has reached 13,000 yuan. For example, the guide price of the 2022 macaroon color painting model promoted by the store is 52,800 yuan, and now the bare car price is 39,800 yuan, and the NEDC pure battery life is 170km；; The guide price of 2024 macaroon 170km is 41,800 yuan, and after detailed discussion, a discount of 2,000 yuan is also given, and the price of bare car is also 39,800 yuan.

Because the old and new models are together, customers will unconsciously compare the differences between them, but basically the face value plays a decisive role; A small number of customers will compare Changan Lumin, focusing on appearance and interior.

Customers look at the 2024 macaroon 170km, which is 5,000 yuan cheaper than the 215km version. The difference is only in terms of cruising range and motor power. The full landing price is estimated at 44,200 yuan, and the full landing price of the 215km version is estimated at 49,300 yuan. Customers will feel that the 5000 yuan spent less is enough to support the electricity bill for a long time to come.

Wuling Hongguang MINIEV now mainly promotes the third-generation macaroon and the previous-generation macaroon, and other versions don’t even have exhibition cars, indicating that the recent focus of car companies is the macaroon series. Personally, the price of this kind of car is more suitable, and the difference between them is very small. Those who like the face value can refer to this price to talk about it, and it is also good to win more gifts.
