He built a rammed earth ecological house in Anji, and also opened a "mud school" (part two)

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?

Ford CEO: We will also launch a low-priced pickup truck, which will be listed in three years to compete with BYD!

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. ???

Exploring the store Hongguang MINIEV: The old macaroon offers a discount of 13,000 yuan, and the new model has a higher sales volume.

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.

Dying to Survive: The realistic version of the Lu Yong case, a legal legend cooler than the movie.

[Introduction: the intersection of reality and art]

"2018, domestic conscience drama!" "After reading it, the cows are full of faces!" "Crying while watching, choking sound …" These enthusiastic comments point to a shocking movie-Dying to Survive. This film, with its profound social insight and delicate emotional portrayal, has aroused heated discussion among the whole people, especially when the audience learned that it was not a pure fiction, but was adapted from real events, which made it exude unique charm in the intersection of reality and art.

[The real drug god: the story of Lu Yong]

Lu Yong, the protagonist of the story, was originally the owner of a knitwear export enterprise in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. In 2002, fate threw a cruel dice for him-he was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia. In the face of illness, Lu Yong, like Cheng Yong in the movie, is faced with the game between high drug prices and life. Gleevec, produced by Novartis, Switzerland, can stabilize the illness, but it needs to pay as much as 23,500 yuan a month, which is a heavy burden for any ordinary family.

The turning point occurred in 2004, when Lu Yong stumbled upon the Indian-made "Gleevec" generic drug, which had almost the same efficacy, but the price was only 4,000 yuan per box. He began to take it and share it with his patients who were also trapped in the sea of expensive medicine. In order to simplify the process of drug purchase, Lu Yong even bought debit cards online to help patients complete cross-border payment. However, this act of kindness caused him to be involved in the storm of "the crime of obstructing credit card management" and "the crime of selling counterfeit drugs".

[Collision between law and human nature]

The news of Lu Yong’s arrest was like a bolt from the blue, which shocked more than a thousand patients who depended on him for medicine. They signed a letter, imploring the judiciary to show leniency to Lu Yong. Facing the public’s concern and expectation, Yuanjiang City Procuratorate of Hunan Province launched a rigorous and meticulous investigation. On the basis of a comprehensive review of the facts and evidence of the case, they held a public hearing, invited people from all walks of life to participate, and fully listened to the opinions of all parties. At the same time, the prosecutor personally went to Wuxi and other places to verify the evidence, introduced special prosecutors for democratic supervision and legal guidance, and finally convened a procuratorial Committee to conduct a comprehensive review.

[just verdict: upholding the value of law]

On January 27th, 2015, Yuanjiang City Procuratorate decided to withdraw the prosecution against Lu Yong. On February 26th, Lu Yong was officially announced not to prosecute. The procuratorial organ believes that although Lu Yong’s behavior is illegal, its motive is pure, its purpose is clear, and it aims to help patients get low-cost life-saving drugs, and it does not profit from it. His behavior does not constitute the crime of selling counterfeit drugs. Although the purchase and use of debit cards violate financial management regulations, the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not great, so it is not considered a crime.

This judgment is not only a reversal of Lu Yong’s personal fate, but also a deep interpretation of the legal value. It shows the temperature and rationality of the law, and shows the judicial idea that the judicial organs should not only abide by the law, but also dare to face the social reality, shoulder social responsibilities and respect and protect human rights. As the film Dying to Survive conveyed, law should not be a barrier to the brilliance of human nature, but a beacon to guide social fairness and justice and protect the dignity of life.

[Lu Yong case from the legal perspective]

Analyzing the Lu Yong case from a legal perspective, we can see the following key points:

  1. Definition of the nature of behavior: Lu Yong’s behavior is recognized as buying rather than selling. He helped his patients to buy medicines, pay for them and translate them, without increasing the price and charging any fees. He always stood as the buyer and provided free assistance to his patients. This is obviously inconsistent with the essence of sales behavior-pursuing commodity value and making profits.
  2. Balance of legal interests: Although Lu Yong’s behavior violated some laws and regulations, its purpose was to save lives, and it did not infringe others’ right to life and health. On the contrary, his behavior has really helped many leukemia patients to prolong their lives and alleviate their pain. Between the right to life and the order of drug management and financial management, the law has chosen to give priority to protecting the more urgent and basic right to life.
  3. Embodiment of judicial idea: The handling of Lu Yong case reflects the efforts of judicial organs to change criminal judicial idea. It follows the principle of modest punishment, and regards criminal law as the last means to adjust social relations, rather than a tool to be easily used. At the same time, in the process of law enforcement, judicial organs pay attention to both entity and procedure, pay attention to rationality, peace and civilization, and show humanistic care for vulnerable groups.

[Conclusion: The Intertwining of Law and Hope]

The ending of Lu Yong case, as depicted in the movie Dying to Survive, is a bright ending after a confrontation between law and humanity, despair and hope. It reminds us that law is not a ruthless dogma, but contains respect for life, care for the weak and persistent pursuit of social fairness and justice.

The story of Lu Yong is cooler than the movie, because it is not fiction, but a real case that happened around us. It shows us that even in the most difficult times, as long as someone is willing to stand up, someone is willing to listen and understand, and someone is willing to stick to the bottom line of the law and the brilliance of human nature, hope will never die. And such hope is the most precious wealth of our time.

Continue to break the game, explosion after explosion: Jietu automobile brand system is fully exerted

After the first half of 2024, the automobile market pattern was quietly reshaped, and the "volume" became the industry consensus. However, in the increasingly fierce market competition, Jietu Automobile, like a clear stream, has successfully built one explosion model after another with extraordinary insight and unremitting innovative ideas.

In June, Jetway Traveler once again set a new monthly sales record, reaching 16,205 vehicles. The sales volume is increasing rapidly, and the product is hot. In the continuous innovation, Jietu Automobile has extended the success of a single explosion model to a glorious chapter of the entire explosion family. In addition to the cross-country travel family that has been launched, Jetway will launch more brand-new products and continue to inject new impetus into Jetway Speed. It is not difficult to find that Jietu Automobile has "accurate questions, clear reading and comprehensive problem solving" when it turns over the broken answer sheet written by Jietu Automobile in the face of the current involution market. Everything shows that it is no accident that this "top student" frequently refreshes his grades.

Bet on "Travel+"to open up a brand-new exclusive track

In 2023, the demand for car purchase in China auto market changed from family commuting to "commuting+traveling". Just when other auto companies just started to study the market strategy, they found that one brand had already set out and wrote the answer of "traveling+"in 2018. This brand is Jetway. In just 65 months, Jetway has become a "million club" from a cutting-edge brand and grabbed the first-Mover advantage on the new track. All this happened against the background of the first negative growth in China auto market in 30 years.

Finding a chance in adversity, Jietu firmly does these four things with long-term.

The first is to adhere to the user-centered. When many enterprises talk about slogans, Jietu works quietly and treats users with sincerity. At the beginning of the brand’s establishment, "Jietu user representative forum" became an indispensable activity in the brand’s development, and then it extended "user co-creation", "3W service concept" and "three 100% projects", and finally formed a service system that deeply touched the needs of users. For this reason, Jietu can deeply understand the demand changes of market segments, keenly form the ecological layout of the whole travel industry chain through the combination of people, cars and scenes, and gradually turn users’ yearning into reality.

The second is that Jietu brand has valuable strategic strength. In the past six years, Jietu has been firmly on the road of "travel+",from zero to one, from the existing to the refined, and has always maintained the upgrading and iteration of brand strategy, filling in the connotation of the concept from the aspects of product, ecology, experience and communication. For this reason, in today’s fierce industry competition, Jetway has found its own differentiated competitive advantage and brand uniqueness. The anchor point is accurate, the foundation is solid, and the Jietu layer by layer breaks through, and finds its own way in the jungle of the automobile market.

The third is the potential for continuous upgrading. In November last year, the Jietu Shanhai new energy sequence targeting the world’s first hybrid off-road brand was officially released; Jetway is keenly aware of the market demand for hybrid products. On the brand night in April this year, Jetway created different models such as Jetway Shanhai T1, T2, T5, T7 and P5 with the unique label of "Travel+Hybrid Off-road", which formed Jetway’s "Five Tiger Generals" to enter the hybrid off-road market, constantly broadening users’ travel scenes and bringing users a higher-value product experience. The release of Jietu Shanhai sequence is a brave attempt for Jietu to achieve brand upward and value jump, and it also proves that Jietu has been climbing constantly, bringing new extension and upgrade to the "Travel+"strategy with accurate judgment and enterprising attitude.

The fourth is All in from product to service. In addition to the full-matrix hybrid off-road products, Jetway also launched exclusive products such as travel camping trailers and travel boxes to meet the individual needs of users; The "Travel+"ecology is also constantly upgrading. With a deep understanding of self-driving travel, Jetway has carefully selected the top 100 star-rated campsites in China. Jetway users can use camping sites, free camping equipment, free charging and free experience of electrification scenes for free. These four rights and interests undoubtedly facilitate the user’s travel experience; The G318 most beautiful highway rights and interests plan is also continuously optimized. 151 Jietu stations bring many benefits such as accommodation, maintenance, rescue and charging, and they are all "Jietu" wherever they go; This brand is professional and sincere, so that users only need to enjoy the happiness of the journey with peace of mind. It is precisely because of this that "Travel+"is attracting more and more people to join it and enjoy it.

This is the case with Jietu, which has the foresight to precede the market demand, and the courage to persevere and forge ahead. Now it has a million-level market stock scale and has become the representative of the new generation of China automobile brands with constant determination.

"Read the questions" with users, and you have a well-thought-out plan before you put pen to paper.

As early as the early stage of traveler’s research and development, Jetway established "Our Jetway" as one of the product co-creation concepts, which broke the relationship between brand and users in selling and buying cars and realized the scene of "being friends, creating products and establishing brands" with users.

On April 22, 2024, Jetway Shanhai T2 was officially listed. Dai Lihong, assistant general manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and executive deputy general manager of Jetway Brand Division, introduced that in order to build Jetway Shanhai T2 well, Jetway Automobile made 29 offline co-creations, and invited more than 100,000 users, more than 150 industry coffee makers, more than 200 partners and 5,000 engineers to participate.

Therefore, there is never a lack of design to meet the needs of users on Jetway Shanhai T2. According to the needs of users to create collections together, Jietu Shanhai T2 has optimized the parking air conditioning function. When the outdoor temperature is 30℃ in summer night, the air conditioning can run continuously for 40h; hours. The extreme cold of -20℃ in winter night can also have 14 hours of continuous heating; In addition, Jietu Shanhai T2 not only has the external discharge function of 6.6kw, but also has the only external discharge function of 2.2kw in the car at present, which greatly broadens the application scene of camping appliances and solves the big demand with small design. Yes, only by fully understanding the needs of users can we accurately shape such a comfortable, economical and powerful off-road vehicle, which is the chemical reaction created by Jietu and users.

Jetway Shanhai T2 is not Jetway’s "fantasy" about the market, but what users need, want and want. At the same time, the explosion performance of Jietu Shanhai T2 is by no means from low prices, but actually touched consumers with "real answers".

Solve the sales problem with new media, and explore the new marketing situation in a pioneering way.

Jietu Automobile is one of the earliest automobile enterprises to lay out new media marketing channels, which has both soft power and hard power, both of which are the top stream in automobile enterprises.

In terms of hard power, Jetway fully mobilized the enthusiasm of dealers, supported the live broadcast of dealers through marketing expenses, live training, professional materials and other aspects, and the national Jetway sales consultants constantly created opportunities to communicate with customers in the live broadcast. In addition, Jietu Automobile pioneered the "white+black" new media operation mode in the industry to ensure that users can see the live broadcast of Jietu brand at every time.

In terms of soft power, Jetway’s executives and employees went into battle together to establish contact with users and act as customer service, so that users felt the sincerity of the brand. At present, a total of 4,147 employees face more than 170,000 users, and sincerely make friends with users and solve user problems. Through 400, WeChat, APP, Tik Tok and other channels to directly connect with users, and even the system of directly connecting users with BOSS, we sincerely accept users’ suggestions and ensure that all problems of users can be closed-loop 100%.

In 2023, 40% of Jetway’s sales volume was obtained through new media, short video and live broadcast operation. Facing the huge online traffic, Jetway took the lead in arranging troops and constantly refreshed the construction speed of offline channel system and service system. In just six months, Jetway Shanhai completed the construction of 317 stores nationwide with the efficiency of building 1.8 stores a day, covering more than 70% of the cities in the country. It can be seen that every success is the result of multiple efforts. Jietu has innovation in marketing, high efficiency in system construction, and overwhelming determination and attitude. It is precisely because of this that Jietu Automobile can create a remarkable speed in one industry after another and become a benchmark for other brands to learn.

Why is Jetway always impressive? This answer comes from the internal strength of Jietu, not blindly following the trend, choosing the most suitable way for you; Firmly and continuously tap the potential of the market; Do not forget your initiative mind, always walking with users; Innovate in time, and let the change of science and technology become a tool to improve yourself. It is believed that with the layout of more channels and the intensive release of products, Jetway will not be afraid of challenges, empower sales with Jetway speed and realize the upward leap of brand value.

China Characteristics and World Significance of Chinese Modernization

  Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, the Communist Party of China, made a profound explanation of Chinese-style modernization, summed up the China characteristics of Chinese-style modernization in five aspects: a huge population, a common prosperity for all people, a coordinated modernization of material civilization and spiritual civilization, a harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and a peaceful development path, and profoundly revealed the scientific connotation of Chinese-style modernization. Chinese-style modernization is the broad road to build a socialist modernization power in an all-round way and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It provides a new theoretical paradigm for world modernization and has great theoretical value and practical significance for China and the world.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "What kind of modernization path a country chooses is determined by its historical tradition, social system, development conditions, external environment and many other factors. Different national conditions will lead to different ways of modernization. Practice has proved that a country’s modernization should not only follow the general law of modernization, but also conform to its own reality and have its own characteristics. " China’s characteristics in five aspects of Chinese modernization show universality, popularity, coordination, symbiosis and openness.

  First, the huge population reflects the extensiveness of Chinese modernization. The modernization with a huge population is a remarkable feature of Chinese modernization. As the largest developing country in the world, to realize modernization on the basis of a population of more than 1.4 billion means that more people than the total population of all developed countries will enter the ranks of modernization, which will completely rewrite the world map of modernization and fully reflect the extensiveness of China’s modernization drive. The huge population size can provide sufficient human resources and super-large-scale market for modernization. At the same time, the huge population size makes the difficulty and complexity of China’s modernization drive unprecedented, and the development approach and promotion method must have their own characteristics. To promote the modernization with a huge population, we should anchor the people’s yearning for a better life, fully tap the potential of human resources, deeply tap the potential of super-large-scale market, and provide strong human resources guarantee and domestic demand support for modernization. We should actively respond to the people’s demands and multi-level needs in employment, distribution, education, medical care, housing, old-age care and child care, and actively create an environment in which everyone participates in the development process and everyone enjoys the fruits of development, thus rallying more than 1.4 billion people to join in the modernization drive.

  Second, the common prosperity of all the people reflects the people’s nature of Chinese modernization. The modernization of the common prosperity of all the people is the essential feature of Chinese modernization, and it is also a remarkable symbol different from western modernization. Realizing the common prosperity of all the people is the common expectation of the broad masses of the people, which shows the lofty value pursuit of the new form of human civilization. The biggest drawback of western modernization is that it takes capital as the center rather than people as the center, and pursues the maximization of capital interests rather than serving the interests of the vast majority of people, which leads to a large gap between the rich and the poor and serious polarization. Chinese-style modernization adheres to the people-centered development thought, insists on the people’s dominant position, emphasizes that the people are the main body of modernization and the creators of civilization, insists on development for the people, development depends on the people, and development results are shared by the people, and resolutely prevents polarization. To promote the modernization of common prosperity for all people, we should always take the people’s yearning for a better life as the goal. We should not only make the "cake" bigger and better through the joint efforts of the whole people, but also cut and divide the "cake" through reasonable institutional arrangements, and consciously and actively solve the problems of regional disparity, urban-rural disparity and income distribution gap, so that the achievements of modernization can benefit all people more fairly.

  Third, the coordination of material civilization and spiritual civilization embodies the coordination of Chinese modernization. It is the lofty pursuit of Chinese modernization to be rich in material and spiritual resources. Chinese-style modernization is deeply rooted in Chinese excellent traditional culture, insisting on both material civilization and spiritual civilization, which provides solid support for creating two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and also expands a new realm of civilization development in the ideological basis of unity and struggle, pioneering initiative and healthy and upward value pursuit of all people. To promote the coordinated modernization of material civilization and spiritual civilization, it is necessary to integrate the all-round enrichment of materials and the all-round development of people into the practice of modernization, better meet the people’s growing spiritual and cultural needs, build a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leading power, develop advanced socialist culture, promote the formation of ideas, spiritual outlook, civilized fashion and behavioral norms that meet the requirements of the new era, continuously enrich the people’s spiritual world, improve the level of civilization of the whole society, promote the all-round development of people and enhance the influence of Chinese culture.

  Fourthly, man and nature coexist harmoniously, which embodies the symbiosis of Chinese modernization. Respecting nature, conforming to nature, protecting nature and promoting harmonious coexistence between man and nature are the distinctive features of Chinese modernization. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has adhered to the road of ecological priority and green development, incorporated "Beautiful China" into the goal of becoming a socialist modernization power, integrated "ecological civilization construction" into the overall layout of "Five in One", and integrated "harmonious coexistence between man and nature" into the basic strategy of adhering to and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, creating an ecological miracle and a green development miracle that has attracted worldwide attention, and embarked on a civilized development path of production development, affluent life and good ecology. To promote the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, we should firmly establish and practice Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s concept, adhere to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand, promote ecological priority, conservation and intensive, green and low-carbon development, accelerate the green transformation of development mode, enhance the diversity, stability and sustainability of ecosystems, actively and steadily promote carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions, and support high-quality development with high-quality ecological environment.

  Fifth, taking the road of peaceful development reflects the openness of Chinese modernization. Adhering to peaceful development is a prominent feature of Chinese modernization. Our Party has always stood firmly on the right side of history and the progress of human civilization, unified the development of China with the development of the world with a broad vision of the world, and embarked on a modern road to achieve common development and peaceful development through win-win cooperation. Seek self-development while firmly safeguarding world peace and development, and use self-development to better safeguard world peace and development, and contribute China wisdom, China plan and China strength to meet the common challenges faced by all mankind. To promote modernization along the road of peaceful development, we should always hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, pursue an open strategy of mutual benefit and win-win, promote the common values of all mankind, promote the building of a community of human destiny, realize national development by stimulating endogenous power and utilizing external resources, and constantly provide new opportunities for the world with China’s new development.

  Our Party United and led the people of China to successfully embark on the road of Chinese modernization through long-term unremitting struggle, and achieved remarkable development achievements. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has continued to advance on the existing basis, constantly achieved innovative breakthroughs in theory and practice, and successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization. It not only provides new opportunities and new impetus for world development, but also makes new contributions to the theoretical and practical innovation of human social modernization.

  From the fundamental characteristics, Chinese modernization is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC). From the construction content, Chinese modernization adheres to the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization, the sustainable development of economy and society, and the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, which embodies the overall layout of "five in one" and the strategic layout of "four comprehensive". From the realization path, Chinese-style modernization conforms to the development trend of today’s world, takes the new development concept as the guide, takes the synchronous development of the "four modernizations" as the promotion path, takes the construction of a new development pattern as the strategic arrangement, and pays attention to not only deeply tapping the potential of the domestic market, but also deeply participating in the international division of labor, which has distinct epochal and openness. From the perspective of value pursuit, Chinese modernization adheres to the people-centered development thought, and takes the realization of common prosperity of all people as an important content of the essential requirement, which benefits not only the people of China, but also the people of all countries in the world. From the perspective of international relations, Chinese modernization adheres to the concept of building a community of human destiny, and adheres to independence, peaceful development, and win-win cooperation. Chinese-style modernization theory is an important innovation in the modernization of Marxism in China. It is a great theoretical innovation of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the latest great achievement of scientific socialism to put forward and elaborate the Chinese modernization theory in general.

  The development process of human society is tortuous, and the course of exploring the road of modernization in various countries is full of hardships. Chinese-style modernization not only follows the general law of modernization, but also conforms to China’s reality and has its own characteristics. Based on its own national conditions and drawing lessons from the experience of other countries; Inheriting history and culture and integrating modern civilization; It not only benefits the people of China, but also promotes the common development of the world; It is not only the broad road for our country’s construction and national rejuvenation, but also the only way for China to seek human progress and world harmony. Chinese-style modernization has opened up a new road to modernization and created a new form of human civilization. With its successful practice and theoretical innovation based on practice, it has provided new choices for countries and nations in the world who want to speed up their development and maintain their independence, and provided beneficial enlightenment and experience for the vast number of developing countries to explore their own unique modernization roads based on their own national conditions.

  Auchan’s positioning is different from the previous positioning of Changan commercial vehicle brand. At present, MPV in China can be roughly divided into commercial MPV represented by Buick GL8 and commercial MPV represented by Wuling Hongguang. Changan Auchan is positioned as another emerging market, that is, home MPV. Domestic MPVs are often not expensive, but the overall quality requirements and comfort are stronger than commercial MPVs. In the past, Changan Ounuo’s competitors were Scenery 360 and Wuling Hongguang. However, Auchan’s potential consumer groups do pay attention to household consumers, which is close to Baojun 730, but latecomers such as popular S500, Yingzhi 737 and Wuling Hongguang S1 will also make efforts in this market segment. It is believed that Auchan has a high overall quality and cost performance after listing, and can perform well in the home MPV market.
