　　Recently, the professional difficulties of some online platform takeaway brothers have attracted much attention to takeaway platforms and algorithm systems.

　　"Xinhua View" reporter survey found that takeaway brothers have become a high-risk group of traffic accidents, and the algorithm labeled as accurate, reasonable and optimized has triggered extensive discussion in the industry.

　　"The first thing I think of when I get up from a crash is not to time out"

　　In recent years, the booming takeaway industry has reshaped people’s daily lives and become an important breakthrough point for economic development and employment in various places. According to a report released by Meituan, in 2019, the total number of takeaway riders who earned income through the platform reached 3.987 million, an increase of 23.3% over 2018; in the first half of this year, the total number of riders who earned income on the Meituan platform reached 2.952 million, a significant increase of 16.4% year-on-year.

　　The relatively high income, stable salary payment and flexible working hours are the reasons why many workers are attracted to the food delivery industry. Wu Zhaoyun, a 35-year-old food delivery brother in Guangzhou, said that he has worked in factories, hotels and property companies. Since joining the food delivery team in 2017, he "feels that this career is very promising."

　　While the number of takeaway riders continues to grow, takeaway brothers have become a group with a high incidence of traffic accidents. In recent years, there have been vicious traffic accidents in many places in China where takeaway brothers have caused deaths due to running red lights and violating the rules.

　　The reporter learned from the Shenzhen traffic police department that in August this year alone, Shenzhen investigated and dealt with 12,000 traffic violations in the express delivery and takeaway food delivery industry, accounting for more than 10% of the total number of non-motor vehicle violations. The Shanghai medical emergency center healthcare workers said that they would encounter rider-related orders every week in August.

　　"Rush" is the core reason. One rider said the delivery time given to him by the platform around 2018 was 40 minutes per order, but it was later compressed to 30 minutes. "Sometimes it takes 20 minutes to get takeaway from the merchant, and the remaining 10 minutes I have to ride 3km, run into the community, and wait for the elevator to go upstairs," he said.

　　The main basis for the platform to compress time is the algorithm system based on big data and artificial intelligence. There is also a complete set of strict assessment mechanisms in cooperation with the algorithm system: on the one hand, the takeaway platform incentivizes takeaway riders to receive as many orders as possible with "price-per-order"; on the other hand, the platform strictly restricts riders through assessments such as on-time rate, bad review rate, and cancellation of order volume due to delivery reasons. The reduction in on-time rate means that takeaway riders lose the "order-taking advantage" in the platform’s algorithm, and will also be reduced in the internal ranking, missing various rewards.

　　This "algorithm plus assessment" mechanism has multiplied the psychological pressure of practitioners. One rider said that once he collided with an electric car, "the first thing he thought of when he got up was that he couldn’t time out, and he didn’t care about how the other party and himself were injured. Now I think it’s ridiculous."

　　Why are algorithms "out of control"?

　　Several industry insiders believe that the deep problems behind the "algorithmic dilemma" deserve attention.

　　On the one hand, the platform is "competing to the bottom", resulting in the "imbalance" of the algorithm.

　　Data show that as of the second quarter of 2020, Meituan takeaway and Ele.me have captured nearly 95% of the market share in the takeaway industry.

　　Ma Liang, a professor at the School of Public Administration of Renmin University of China, believes that the short and concentrated characteristics of the takeaway industry determine that competition among enterprises is increasingly focused on the speed of food delivery, resulting in algorithms that should have integrated multiple indicators, ignoring the safety and stress of riders.

　　"The food delivery industry has actually formed a’race to the bottom ‘, that is, constantly testing the bottom line indicator of delivery time. After exhausting all the competitive parameters, the pressure is pushed to the rider, resulting in the rider being at the limit and overloaded," he said.

　　On the other hand, complex employment relationships lead to the transfer of risk, resulting in the algorithm’s "default".

　　The reporter learned from the research that most food delivery riders have formed a complex employment relationship with the food delivery platform. Many food delivery riders often do not sign contracts directly with the platform, but sign contracts with third-party labor service companies through some apps, and the labor service companies change frequently. When an accident occurs, it is easy to lead to multiple parties kicking each other.

　　In a case of a takeaway rider hitting a pedestrian, the rider said that he joined a takeaway platform in September 2018. At first, the labor agreement on the app showed that the employer was Ningbo Yumi Company; in August 2019, the agreement on the app was changed to Hangzhou Bangmang Company. He did not know who the employer was. During the court hearing after the accident, neither Ningbo Yumi nor Hangzhou Bangmang admitted that Huang was his employee.

　　Liu Bo, the judge of the Huangpu District People’s Court in Guangzhou who was in charge of the case, said that in terms of the contract, the relationship between the rider and the labor service company is a labor relationship, but in fact the relationship between the labor service company and the rider is very loose. The platform uses the number of orders received and customer complaints to assess the rider, acting as an "employer." In the event of a traffic accident, the platform hides behind the labor service company and does not take any responsibility.

　　Under the current laws and regulations, the traffic police cannot punish the enterprise, but only the rider. In the event of a traffic accident, the rider, not the enterprise, needs to bear the cost of violating the law and the risk of disability and death.

　　Algorithms alone are not enough

　　In the face of social doubts, Ele.me said it would launch new features as soon as possible – "I am willing to wait 5 minutes/10 minutes more" buttons for consumers to choose from, while Meituan said it would improve the scheduling system to give riders 8 minutes of flexible time.

　　Some interviewees believe that to solve the dilemma faced by takeaway riders, the most important thing is that platform companies can face up to, respect, and truly protect the rights and interests of workers, rather than allowing algorithms to become cold tools that only make money for enterprises.

　　In recent years, in the face of the challenges of emerging business models, many places have begun to increase management efforts. For example, Foshan, Guangdong has built 89 fixed traffic safety education points to increase traffic safety education for delivery couriers and other groups; for takeaway enterprises with many traffic violations and weak traffic safety management, Foshan public security traffic police organized interviews with business leaders.

　　Ma Liang suggested that the emerging business will inevitably pose an impact and challenge to the existing laws and regulations, and the general laws involving the protection of workers’ rights and interests, occupational safety, and safe production need to be revised in a timely manner. Issues directly related to a certain industry also need to be responded to in a timely manner by new regulations.

　　In addition, the problems of the food delivery industry involve multiple departments, and the main regulatory departments should be further clarified to correct the disorderly competition behavior. Ma Liang also suggested that the food delivery riders belong to the "safety production problem in the flow" and should also be included in the assessment system of local governments to strengthen the local government’s supervision and law enforcement responsibilities.

It is difficult to say whether it is a curse or the times. In the past 20 years, among the many car companies in China, the success rate of those who want to engage in multi-brand strategies is not very high. But what is interesting is that even if there are so many lessons from the past, there are always car companies who want to test the waters of multi-brand strategies.

Previously, the official Weibo of Geely Automobile Group announced a set of information. On February 23, Geely will officially release the "Geely Brand New Energy Strategy" at the main venue of the Hangzhou Asian Games, and launch Geely’s mid-to-high-end new energy series models. It is reported that the new brand may be named "Galaxy", while the official Weibo of Geometry Automobile seems to reveal that the brand will be named "Galaxy" when forwarding the news.

It is worth noting that Geely Automobile’s current sub-brands are quite rich. In addition to the main brand Geely, it includes many brands such as Extreme Krypton, Lynk, Ruilan, Radar, Geometry, etc. If the acquired brands are included, it will be even richer. Now, with the news of the debut of the "Galaxy" brand, it means that Geely’s huge brand matrix will add another one.

On the surface, the huge brand matrix seems to demonstrate the strength of Geely Automobile, but it is still difficult to determine whether too many sub-brands are good or bad for Geely. As for whether it can break the curse of Chinese car companies’ difficulty in promoting multi-brand strategies, it is even more difficult to judge.

There are many lessons from the past, how did Geely break the game?

Judging from past experience, there are few successful cases of Chinese car companies implementing multi-brand strategies. Among them, Chery, as a pioneer, once formed a multi-brand operation structure including Chery, Kerry, Ruiqi, Wellin, Kaiyi and Qoros. But a cruel reality is that almost all of the above-mentioned brands except Chery have failed, and Chery has also begun to divest sub-brands in the long process of development, and finally only brought Jietu and Xingtu two brands with a certain amount of volume.

A more recent example is Great Wall Motors. Although it formed five brands with Haval, Wei brand, Euler, tank, and Great Wall pickup truck, it was once brilliant. Wei Jianjun, the founder of Great Wall Motors, also once used "our Great Wall Motors and other car companies are different in the path of branding, because we build brands by category" to demonstrate the success at that time.

But a reality that can be seen is that in the organizational restructuring at the end of last year, Great Wall Motors began an all-round resource integration, with only one core, "ONE GWM", that is, a Great Wall. Several of its major brands no longer fight each other, but began to gather resources. And this, to some extent, has subverted the previous business philosophy of Great Wall Motors "one car, one brand, one company".

As for the reasons, it is also easy to understand. Having more children is easy to fight, but it is also more troublesome to divide the family property. Lin Shi, secretary general of the China-Europe Association of Intelligent Networked Vehicles, told the editor of "Dogo Talk Car" that the advantage of the multi-brand strategy is that it can launch more models to meet market demand, and it is also conducive to the sharing of internal resources of car companies. However, at the same time, models are easy to overlap in terms of positioning and price, which forms internal friction. In addition, sub-brands need to add teams in production and service, which requires higher management and marketing requirements for car companies.

What’s more, from the launch of Geely brand and Lynk & Co brand plug-in hybrid models, Geely’s overall electrification is almost inevitable. Whether the emergence of a new brand will plunder the market of Geely’s original new energy brand and fuel vehicle brand, and form internal friction with them, who can predict?

History is strikingly similar, but not today.

Yang Xueliang, senior vice-president of Geely, previously said in an interview: "The mid-to-high-end new energy series has three power forms: pure electric, plug-in hybrid, and extended range hybrid. The new series will adopt a new design language and intelligent configuration, and emphasize user direct connection in operation." According to market news, the positioning of "Galaxy" may be between geometric and polar krypton, focusing on 20-300,000 yuan market.

That is to say, intuitively, Geely’s new brand can be distinguished from Geely’s existing new energy sub-brands, but this may not be the reason why Geely can successfully implement a multi-brand strategy. After all, every Chinese car company that implements a multi-brand strategy has more or less different sub-brands, and even Great Wall Motor’s "category distinction" is more obvious, but Great Wall Motor still chooses resource integration.

As the saying goes, "history is always strikingly similar", Geely’s multi-brand strategy may not necessarily succeed. But as the saying goes, "today is different". A significant difference from previous years is that China’s new energy vehicles have developed very rapidly in recent years, and the new energy vehicle market is also growing rapidly. Data show that the penetration rate of new energy vehicles will increase to 25.6% year-on-year in 2022. There is no doubt that this is a terrible data and an opportunity for Chinese car companies.

In addition, when Chinese automakers pursued multi-brand strategies before, the technology of Chinese automakers was generally average, and the brand perception was relatively low-end. But today is different. Take Geely as an example, its vast architecture has become the cradle of luxury car brands such as smart and Jidu, and its Raytheon Hi-P/F hybrid system has also become a popular choice in the current market. The industry change initiated by new energy vehicles is reshaping the ranking of automakers. Participants believe that they can benefit from it, and Geely is obviously one of them.

However, it may be important to note that even if a multi-brand strategy is implemented, it is still necessary to ensure the strength of the main brand. No matter whether it is Ford, BMW, or Toyota, Tesla, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and other international well-known car companies, there are many sub-brands, but they still have a main brand that can stand alone and even resist fierce competition and changes in the economic cycle. Of course, whether "Galaxy" is a product series or a "brand" is still uncertain, and the meaning of the two is still different.

On April 4th, during the Qingming Festival, the drizzle continued, infiltrating every inch of land and our hearts. On this special day, we deeply cherish the memory and recall the warmth and beauty of the past. Let those lost times be relived in the rain, and let our hearts be comforted in memories.

With the listing of Tiggo 8 PRO in May this year, the Tiggo 8 family has formed a rich product matrix consisting of Tiggo 8, which focuses on power, Tiggo 8 PLUS, which focuses on fuel saving, and Tiggo 8 PRO, which focuses on technology. As the sales force of Chery and the star model in the independent medium-sized SUV market, the Tiggo 8 family has attracted much attention, and four products with different positioning are very eye-catching in their respective market segments. Not long ago, the Tiggo 8 PRO was pre-sold for 6 hours, and the order broke 30,000.

From the price point of view, the positioning of Tiggo 8 PRO is higher than that of Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 8 PLUS. On the basis of the advantages of the latter two, it further enhances the strength of science and technology and is called the flagship of science and technology. Recently, Brother Gu tested the Tiggo 8 PRO in Shangri-La, experienced its intelligent technology in Tibetan customs, and felt the fierce collision between traditional culture and advanced technology.

Younger sports, more technology and more luxury.

Although the positioning of the four products in the Tiggo 8 family is clear, for consumers, I am afraid they still don’t know how to start when it comes to specific choices. Compared with Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 8 PLUS, the characteristics of Tiggo 8 PRO can be summarized as younger sports, more technology and more luxury, which are the main differences from the previous products.

The first is the design of younger sports. The Tiggo 8 PRO adopts a completely different style from other models in the family. The air intake grille is larger and more open, and the mesh structure is dot-matrix design, which is more digital than the fashion star dot-matrix design of the Tiggo 8 PLUS. Headlights on both sides are connected by a chrome-plated visual strip, which runs through the grille. The shape of the front bumper has been redesigned, which is more integrated with the front grille, and the irregular cooling vents on both sides have also brought a strong digital effect.

The side of the car body is almost the same as that of the Tiggo 8 PLUS, and the shape of the wheel hub is slightly adjusted, keeping the overall fashion and dynamic. The tail design is closer to that of Tiggo 8, both of which are through taillights, but the shape is slightly different, and the shape of the rear bumper and exhaust pipe has not changed much. In terms of size, the Tiggo 8 PRO is the longest car body in the Tiggo 8 family, reaching 4745mm, so it will look more atmospheric in visual effect, while the car width, car height and wheelbase are consistent.

If the difference in design is only to improve the recognition of various models, then the difference in intelligent technology can best reflect the upgrade value of Tiggo 8PRO. It comes standard with a new generation of lion zhiyun Lion5.0 system, built-in with a new generation of high-performance car-level AI chips, and provides functions such as face recognition, non-inductive login, full-time wakeup-free multi-mode voice interaction, etc. On the whole, it has more functions and faster response. Of course, this is not enough to prop up the name of its flagship technology, so the Tiggo 8 PRO also has a 24.6-inch curved dual screen and Chery’s first W-HUD interstellar flying head-up display function.

Finally, there is luxury. When you enter the Tiggo 8 PRO car, you can not only feel a strong sense of science and technology, but also have a sense of luxury brought by wooden decorative boards, metallic speakers, large-area leather cladding, skylight atmosphere lights, the second row of shared entertainment smart screens, SONY 10 Yang surround sound and other configurations.

Focusing on the three key words of youth, technology and luxury, Tiggo 8 PRO provides consumers with a more valuable and "super-cup" medium-sized SUV choice, which is also of great significance to the Tiggo 8 family.

Kunpeng Power is as good as ever.

In terms of power selection, Tiggo 8 PRO provides 1.6TGDI/2.0TGDI engines. The test drive model of Brother Gu is a 2.0T four-wheel drive version, with a maximum power of 254 HP and a maximum torque of 390 Nm. It is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and equipped with a Chery full-scene intelligent four-wheel drive system. This version of the power configuration is also available on the Tiggo 8 PLUS, which is the highest specification power in the Tiggo 8 family. Whether it’s this 2.0T four-wheel drive or other Kunpeng power, Brother Gu has tried it, but he still experienced different aspects of this power in this test drive in Shangri-La.

Our test drive route has many complicated road conditions, from the north bank of Napahai to the south bank, and then from low altitude to high altitude to Baima Snow Mountain Pass. It is not uncommon to drive around the lake and mountains, bend, accumulate water and climb. When passing through the corner, the supporting performance of the Tiggo 8 PRO body is satisfactory, the roll is not big, and the body shaking of the rear passengers is small, which is acceptable for people who are prone to carsickness. On the day of the test drive, it was rainy, the road was slippery, and there were even many stagnant roads. Fortunately, the tires equipped with the Tiggo 8 PRO had good grip, and the intelligent four-wheel drive system also made us still confident when passing through the stagnant road at a high speed, and basically did not feel the slippage. Finally, the climbing section, the most eye-catching part of the 2.0T engine should be the acceleration ability in the middle and rear section, so the strong power needed for climbing can be given quickly, and the process of speed increase, turbine reaction and torque explosion is completed in one go. Of course, this is also indispensable for the four-wheel drive system.

Under these three road conditions, the performance of Tiggo 8 PRO is remarkable, which also shows that although it is a home SUV, it can also take into account some more extreme road conditions. On the whole, through this test drive, Brother Wheel found that the motivation and training of Tiggo 8 PRO actually had no obvious movement or comfortable direction, giving people a feeling that it was more in between. In the city, it is a conscientious family car, the power output is not radical, and it is even a little weak at the beginning, but when the speed comes up, you can get all the acceleration pleasure you want, and this process will still be based on comfort; Jumping out of the circle of the city, with strong power and four-wheel drive blessing, it can take on the responsibility of crossing mountains and seas.

It is understood that Tiggo 8 PRO will also launch a version equipped with Chery Kunpeng DHT hybrid system, from which we can also see the high-value positioning of Tiggo 8 PRO in the Tiggo 8 family. At present, Tiggo 8 PRO has been on the market for more than a month, and the market attention is still very high. After all, its appearance can be said to make the Tiggo 8 family look brand-new. More fashionable design and advanced technology further enhance the young and intelligent image of the family.

　　At 4: 00 pm on April 5, the roadside of Tianjin Fifth Avenue was filled with begonia flowers, and people were crowded under the sea of flowers. Southern reporters and tourists slowly moved their steps and enjoyed the beautiful spring scenery in a crowded way.

　　Just after the Qingming small holiday, the "everyone" scene that was shoulder to shoulder not only appeared in Tianjin. Southern reporters are concerned that scenic spots all over the country have opened a hot mode in recent days. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, there were 119 million domestic tourist trips during the three days of the holiday, an increase of 11.5% compared with the same period in 2019 according to comparable caliber; Domestic tourists spent 53.95 billion yuan on travel, an increase of 12.7% over the same period in 2019. Among them, online celebrity cities like Zibo, Tianshui, Kaifeng and Harbin once again ushered in the peak of passenger flow.

　　On April 6th, tourists visited Longxing Temple in Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. During the holidays in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people leave their homes and enjoy colorful holidays. Xinhua news agency

　　Zibo turned red again? Eight overall situation The market is as hot as "5A-level scenic spot"

　　Fei Wang, a Beijing resident, went into Zi for a barbecue at the wrong peak during the Qingming holiday, but he didn’t expect to meet a bunch of tourists with the same idea.

　　She told Southern Reporter: "Last year, when Zibo was the hottest, I didn’t find it enjoyable to eat barbecue. I thought that Zibo is not so hot now, and there are fewer people, so I will try it again. As a result, Zibo is still very hot this year. In order to have a barbecue, I queued for two hours. "

　　Southern Reporter is concerned that during the Qingming holiday this year, Zibo is welcoming the tourism boom again, barbecue shops are crowded, and the "squeezing younger brother" in the eight overall markets is too busy to be soft. In this regard, Mr. Tang, a citizen of Zibo, joked: "The Eight Overall Markets used to be a farmer’s market, but now there are as many people as a 5A-level scenic spot."

　　According to statistics, during the Qingming holiday, in 2024, Zibo ranked the third in the country in terms of the increase of destination heat, with a year-on-year increase of more than 200%. At the same time, Tianshui, a famous punching place in online celebrity, continues to be hot. The data shows that the number of travel orders in this area has increased by more than 21 times year-on-year; Not long ago, Kaifeng, which was famous for its "Wang Po Media", also became a popular tourist destination for this holiday. It boarded CCTV. According to the data of Kaifeng Cultural Travel, during the Qingming holiday, the booking volume of Kaifeng hotels increased by nearly 10 times year-on-year, and the booking volume of scenic spots tickets increased by more than 3 times. Harbin, which has been visited by many "southern small potatoes" this winter, is on fire again. It is reported that during the Qingming holiday, Madiel popsicles sold more than 40,000 sticks a day.

　　"online celebrity City" is not a flash in the pan. During the Qingming holiday this year, it once again tasted the sweetness of traffic, which is not only reflected in the visible tourism revenue, but also in the long-term development of a city. Taking Zibo as an example, in 2023, the accumulated funds outside the province in Zibo reached 67.01 billion yuan, an increase of 8.0% year-on-year; 429 new projects with over 100 million yuan were introduced, with a year-on-year increase of 7.8%; 345 new projects with a construction cost of over 100 million yuan were started, of which 240 were introduced in the same year, up by 4.8% year-on-year.

　　Benefiting from nearby travel, many non-online celebrity cities have become "dark horses"

　　At 9: 00 a.m. on the second day of the Qingming holiday, there was a long queue of about 30 people at the Xiaoshimo pancake stall near Tianjin Dawangzhuang subway station. A Tianjin resident in line told reporters: "I don’t know what happened these two days. These breakfast stalls are all lined up. I have lived here for many years and I have never seen so many people."

　　Many Tianjin residents have raised the same question: Why are there so many people in Tianjin these two days?

　　The Southern Reporter also sent a circle of friends for this breakfast that was queued for a long time. As a result, I didn’t expect to "shake" many acquaintances. Many friends in Beijing said: "Together in Tianjin."

　　Lu Bing, a primary school teacher who works in Beijing, said: "The Qingming holiday is short, and Tianjin is near, so I came here. Besides, I can’t buy tickets anywhere else. "

　　Fei Wang also went to Tianjin for breakfast before going to Zibo. She chose Tianjin because of the short time and short distance.

　　On April 6th, according to Ctrip, during the Qingming holiday, Tianjin ranked first in the list of dark horse destinations in go on road trip, becoming the preferred destination for Beijing tourists. According to the data before the Qingming holiday, the number of travel bookings in Tianjin increased by 231% year-on-year. During the holiday period, the number of tickets for local scenic spots in Tianjin increased by 22.19%. The main domestic tourists came from surrounding cities such as Beijing, Shijiazhuang, Tangshan, Jinan and Baoding, while the popular destinations for Tianjin tourists were Beijing, Jinan, Tangshan, Qinhuangdao and Shanghai.

　　Like Tianjin, thanks to the "nearby travel", the holiday tourism performance in Jinan and other places in Shandong has also exceeded expectations.

　　Residents are eager to upgrade their consumption structure, and the cultural tourism industry has become an important engine.

　　Southern Reporter is concerned that this year’s Qingming holiday has continued the cultural tourism fever since last year, and the consumption of "playing" and "eating" is strong. Consumption, as one of the "Troika" of GDP, the recovery and development of the cultural tourism industry naturally contributed to the steady recovery and development of China’s economy.

　　Yin Yanlin, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Economic Committee, said in an interview with Southern Reporter that the cultural tourism industry has become an important economic growth point from a national perspective. This is a trend phenomenon in the development of cultural tourism industry, and it is also a reflection of the upgrading of residents’ consumption structure.

　　"At present, tourism has become a way of life and a life experience for people. The development of cultural tourism is not only the cultural tourism resources, but also the resources of the whole city." Recently, at the press conference of the State Council Office, Shen Lei, member of the Standing Committee of Tianjin Municipal Committee and Minister of Propaganda Department, told Southern Reporter that in order to adapt to the comprehensive arrival of the mass tourism era, Tianjin should make overall plans for the supply of cultural tourism products, urban management services, publicity and promotion, and create a cultural tourism destination with distinctive characteristics.

　　At present, residents’ tourism cares more about the sense of experience. But did everyone have a good time? According to the report of China Macroeconomic Forum (CMF) of Renmin University of China in the first quarter CMF)2024, as far as "playing" is concerned, it can be said that the enthusiasm is very high, but it is still dominated by "poor travel". No matter from the data of the number of tourists published by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, or the recent phenomenal events such as "Harbin fever", you can feel the heat of tourism; However, the recovery degree of tourism expenditure/tourism income is not as good as that of the number of tourists.

　　There are also opinions that people don’t have much money in their pockets at present, and they want to travel but don’t want to spend too much, especially young people, who care more about the experience of life, even if they have no money, they have to travel badly.

　　In this regard, Yin Yanlin suggested that in accordance with the requirements of the government work report, we should further implement the paid vacation system, implement standards improvement actions, promote the continuous improvement of the quality of related goods and services, and better meet the needs of the people to improve their quality of life.

Xiaomi’s first "heavyweight", it’s coming!

Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit will be held from October 24th to 26th. At that time, Snapdragon 8 Gen3 will be officially unveiled as a new generation of high-end flagship SoC, and Xiaomi 14 series will be released at the end of October as the first model.

Wait, aren’t these things about the mobile phone circle? Do they have anything to do with the car circle? Don’t tell me, there is.

As the most important new product launch conference of Xiaomi in the year, in addition to Xiaomi 14 series, many people are still looking forward to the more mysterious Xiaomi self-developed OS, Xiaomi car, etc., and just today,Lei Jun really announced Xiaomi’s new self-developed first-generation system, namely Xiaomi HyperOS and 澎湃 OS system.

Xiaomi 澎湃 OS: the ecological operating system of people and cars

Like Xiaomi’s self-developed chips in history, Xiaomi’s self-developed system is also named after "澎湃".

Lei Jun said,It is based on the deep evolution of Android and the self-developed Vela system integration, completely rewriting the underlying architecture, and making a public base for the future tens of billions of devices and tens of billions of connections, which is a key leap for Xiaomi to move towards the whole ecology of people, cars and homes.

At present, the official version of Xiaomi 澎湃 OS has been packaged, Xiaomi 14 series will be the first mobile phone equipped with this system, and production has started, and MIUI will gradually be replaced and disappeared.

Xiaomi mobile phone and Xiaomi smart home must be very familiar to everyone. After all, who doesn’t have one or two Xiaomi smart speakers or Xiaomi-sized household appliances at home?

What I am most looking forward to this brand-new Xiaomi HyperOS is undoubtedly its terminal interconnection ability, especially in terms of handcart interconnection.

Since the beginning of this year, with the mobile phone manufacturers entering the field of new energy vehicles, they have given full play to the accumulation of software intelligence that they are extremely good at, which has brought a comprehensive dimension reduction blow to the car.

For example, the Huawei HarmonyOS HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit, which has gained a great reputation in the industry, has become an important reference factor for many users when buying cars, and Meizu Flyme Auto, which helped Link 08 rank among the first echelon, has become its core advantages in terms of system fluency, UI aesthetics, functional interaction and the most unique ability of handcart interconnection.

Handcart interconnection is a general trend, but car companies with shallow software foundation obviously do not have such ability for a short time. Today, in addition to Huawei Meizu, car companies have also opened up the interconnection between Weilai mobile phone and Weilai car machine, realizing their own ecological closed loop.

Therefore, whether the entry of Xiaomi Auto and Xiaomi HyperOS can bring great changes to the industry has become a point that everyone is looking forward to at the beginning of next year.

Two big tricks of Xiaomi automobile: cost performance and intelligence

According to Guo Ming Tan, a well-known analyst of Tianfeng International, Huawei’s sales of M7 exceeded expectations, symbolizing that the competition focus of China electric vehicle market began to shift to autonomous driving, software, marketing and channels due to the high industrial division of labor in manufacturing.

Judging from Xiaomi’s core competitiveness, this new competitive pattern is undoubtedly very beneficial to it. Although Xiaomi’s car-making qualification is still very mysterious to the outside world, the progress of Xiaomi’s first car is rumored to be very smooth. Some time ago, it was also tested in various parts of Xinjiang in summer, and the 800V high-voltage platform achieved excellent energy consumption performance.

Xiaomi’s first car is positioned at the B+ level, with a sliding back design, which is similar to the popular Tesla Model3 and Tucki P7. In addition, the roof of the car will be equipped with the Helsai Science and Technology Lidar invested by Xiaomi.

On both sides of the car body, the same or optional solid-state blind-compensating radar is installed to provide stronger perception, make up for the backwardness of software algorithms, and accelerate the high-order intelligent driving to catch up with the first echelon of the current industry.

As for the battery pack, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited will be selected as the battery supplier for Xiaomi’s first model. Previously, the parameters of the online exposure battery pack were rated voltage of 726.7V, rated capacity of 139Ah and battery degree of 101kWh. It is not difficult to see that it is a real 800V high-voltage platform model, and its positioning is not low, or it is within the price range of 250,000-300,000 yuan.

Comprehensive and cost-effective hardware stacking is obviously the best trick for Xiaomi to invade a new field. At the moment when the intelligent competition of automobiles is gradually becoming the core, the birth of Xiaomi HyperOS can also show Xiaomi’s leading edge in the intelligent cockpit, which is the natural strength of mobile phone manufacturers.

In addition, as a global top 500 enterprise, Xiaomi also has mature and perfect business channels in many overseas markets such as Southeast Asia, which is also the basic accumulation of Xiaomi Automobile going to sea in the future.

Therefore, for Xiaomi Automobile, I’m afraid it’s more appropriate to describe it as "everything is ready, only the east wind is needed". Let’s take a look at whether the Xiaomi car listed early next year can completely subvert the whole industry.

　　Recently, the Ministry of Transport issued the Technical Guide for Highway Engineering Facilities to Support Autopilot (hereinafter referred to as the Guide), proposing the overall framework and main technical indicators for highway engineering facilities to support Autopilot, which will be implemented on December 1 this year. The industry pointed out that the Guide released that China is stepping up efforts to support the development of smart car industry from the perspective of infrastructure construction, and plans to solve the bottleneck problem of intelligent networked automobile industrialization development through the "China Program" of vehicle-road-cloud integration. All-media reporters noticed that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently pointed out clearly that China’s autonomous driving technology is gradually being promoted, L3 level is gradually being commercialized, and L4 level is exploring demonstration applications. haveIt shows that the proportion of intelligent driving function in Chinese consumers’ car purchase decision is increasing rapidly.

　　The Guide better supports the demand for automatic driving of vehicles from the perspective of infrastructure.

　　The Ministry of Transport pointed out that research and practice at home and abroad show that the practical process of autonomous driving technology can be accelerated by moderately improving the intelligent level of highway infrastructure and providing auxiliary information for autonomous vehicles according to their cognitive and behavioral characteristics.

　　The release of the Guide will guide the formation of a technical system that adapts to China’s management characteristics. It is reported that the Guide takes into account the characteristics of China’s traffic and environment, adopts a technical framework combining "end-edge-cloud" and establishes a technical system for highway engineering facilities to support autonomous driving. Through the information processing and interaction of "edge", edge cloud and central cloud are formed, which provide data support for road section level, provincial (regional) level and Ministry (national) level management platforms respectively. The technical system fully considers the characteristics of the management system, which is convenient for rapid popularization and application and related construction.

　　The Ministry of Transport also pointed out that it is not easy for highway engineering facilities to support autonomous driving. In the process of determining technical indicators, the Guide fully considered the actual situation of existing highway engineering facilities. Under the overall technical framework of highway engineering facilities supporting autonomous driving, it analyzed and studied the role and influence of highway engineering facilities supporting autonomous driving, and put forward functional requirements, performance requirements and layout requirements for supporting autonomous driving.

　　In recent years, China’s intelligent networked automobile industry has developed rapidly. According to the figures of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, 17 national-level test demonstration zones and 7 national-level test demonstration zones have been built nationwide.Pilot area, 16Pilot cities for coordinated development of infrastructure and intelligent networked vehicles. Up to now, China has opened more than 20,000 kilometers of test roads, with a total test mileage of more than 70 million kilometers.

　　The commercialization of high-order autonomous driving is accelerating.

　　In 2025, the newly added output value will exceed 1 trillion yuan.

　　All-media reporters have noticed that many national departments have made important instructions on the development of autonomous driving many times recently. At the 2023 World Intelligent Networked Automobile Conference held on September 21st, Xin Guobin, a member of the Party Group and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, revealed that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is deepening the pilot demonstration of intelligent networked automobile access and on-road operation, accelerating the demonstration application of "vehicle-Lu Yun integration" at the city level, and forming a number of characteristic demonstration projects with the participation of domestic and foreign market players. "The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will work with the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other departments to speed up the pilot of intelligent networked vehicle access and road traffic, and support the commercial application of L3 and higher autopilot functions. At present, the preliminary preparations for this work have been basically completed and entered the final release process. " At the Global Smart Car Industry Conference held on September 28th, Wu Feng, Director of Automobile Management Department of Equipment Industry Division I of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, further revealed the above information.

　　According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in 2022, the sales of new intelligent networked passenger cars equipped with assisted automatic driving systems in China reached 7 million, up 45.6% year-on-year, and the market share increased to 34.9%. In the first half of this year, the sales volume of new passenger cars with combined driving assistance reached 42.4%, an increase of nearly 10% compared with the same period last year. At present, many car companies are ready to mass-produce L3-class vehicles.

　　"At present, the global intelligent network.Investment in technology research and development continues to increase, and autonomous driving technology is gradually maturing. L2-class assisted driving has achieved scale application and function expansion, L3-class is gradually commercialized, and L4-class is exploring demonstration application. The "China Scheme" of car-Lu Yun integration is the key to solve the problem of intelligent networked car industrialization.

　　According to the data of the National Intelligent Networked Automobile Innovation Center, by 2025, the new output value of China’s intelligent networked automobile industry will exceed 1 trillion yuan.

　　L3′ s intelligent driving heats up, driving the industrial chain to have multiple daily limit.

　　"The latest research shows that smart driving has shown signs of breaking the ice in the factors that are important for car purchase decision-making, accounting for a substantial increase. This provides a lot of product applications for autonomous driving companies, mass production on the train, and opportunities to achieve good user word-of-mouth closed loop and commercialization closed loop. "Su Tan, general manager of the Smart Car Business Department of the Intelligent Driving Business Group (IDG), believes that intelligent driving has become a key factor in the core car purchase decision, "especially in the range of 150,000-250,000 and the price range of 250,000-300,000.In automobiles, the penetration rate of core intelligent driving is increasing very fast, almost doubling in two years. "

　　It is a glimpse of this trend. The reporter noticed that Internet companies and start-ups such as Huawei, Xiaoma Zhixing, which have been deeply involved in the field of intelligent driving for many years, have intensively landed high-end technologies for intelligent driving on mass-produced new cars in recent years. For example, the new M7, which has been highly concerned recently, has won 50,000 units in just 25 days. One of its biggest selling points is that it is equipped with Huawei ADS2.0 advanced intelligent driving system, which can realize high-speed and urban advanced intelligent driving without relying on high-precision maps. According to the data released by Yu Chengdong, the managing director of Huawei, the terminal BGCEO and the chairman of smart car solutions, 70% of MAX customers have installed Huawei’s ADS advanced smart driving package. In addition, it is also accelerating the landing of intelligent driving to achieve "hegemony" with Huawei. At present, Baidu Apollo’s high-level intelligent driving system has taken the lead in the new car of Dongfeng Lantu, and then the Extreme Yue 01, which cooperates with Geely, will also be available.

　　The reporter noticed that due to the continuous warming of the concept of intelligent driving, many stocks in the A-share sector have recently taken turns to rise, and even batch daily limit has appeared. October 9, the first trading day after the A-share festival,Shares are particularly active, among whichIndustrial chain stocks performed brilliantly, asking the manufacturers of the new M7.One word daily limit, another model partnerDaily limit, parts supplier、Daily limit

　　Lu Jiamin said that L3′ s representative function is high-speed and the city NOA is gradually getting on the bus. Driven by the three core factors of policy, technology and cost, the turning point of intelligent driving is gradually emerging. At this stage, the focus is on intelligent key vehicle enterprises and intelligent industrial chain core component enterprises. "At the same time, driven by the three core factors of policy stimulus, intelligent catalysis and inventory cycle switching, we are optimistic that the sales volume, profitability and valuation of the automobile sector are expected to continue to improve from 23Q3. Optimistic about industrial chain stocks with smart driving technology as the core selling point. " Some institutional analysts believe that with the further acceleration of the landing of smart drivers, relevant listed companies may enter.Redemption period

"I believe anyway" was a label in Wang Yongping for a long time. In the past seven years, Wang Yongping, who was far away from the spotlight, chose to keep his mouth shut and wrote 200,000 words of documentary literature "Believe", but he refused to publish it all the time. Nowadays, Wang Yongping has gradually put down the burden of the past and become more and more open-minded. He claims that he will not take the phrase "I believe anyway" as a lifelong regret, and sincerely expresses his wish. "I hope that the spokesperson I trained will not have the experience of becoming a party again. After all, it is not a pleasant thing."

Red Star journalists were invited to attend Wang Yongping’s "news training class" and listen to his story about his mental journey after leaving the publishing platform.

In November 2015, Wang Yongping, who turned 60, announced his retirement.

In August, 2011, one month after the "723 bullet train accident", Wang Yongping, the former spokesperson and propaganda minister of the Ministry of Railways, was announced to be removed. Subsequently, he was appointed as the Chinese representative of the Railway Cooperation Organization and served as the vice chairman, and went to Warsaw, Poland to work and live in Europe for three years.

After retirement, he splashed ink and wrote poems and compositions every day, and even went to the park to sing with everyone. In addition, he is an adjunct professor at the Training College of Communication University of China, co-director of the Research Center for Spokesman of Communication University of China, and a researcher at the Crisis Communication Center of Sino-Singapore think tank, and often appears in training classes.

On the morning of April 11th, Wang Yongping attended a special training class for a system publicity business in China Communication University. Wang Yongping, wearing a jacket, transferred to the subway twice from his home near the West Railway Station and rushed to the Communication University campus near the East Fifth Ring Road.

There are no long guns and short guns in the class, and there are no angry words. For nearly three hours, from the time he stepped onto the podium to the end of the course, he kept a straight standing posture with a smile and no lecture notes, explaining the laws, principles, methods and skills of news release, and interspersed his own experience as a spokesperson.

Wang Yongping didn’t forget to start with himself. He started with his own words "I believe it anyway". In countless classes in the past few years, he has repeatedly mentioned this history that others may think is a scar as a lecture material.

"None of us are immortals, and it is forgivable to say a word or two wrong. However, it is unforgivable to dare to stand up, dare not take responsibility, and be silent, causing a greater crisis of public opinion. " Wang Yongping mentioned that he didn’t want other spokesmen to change from spokesmen to parties after him because of one or two words.

He also repeatedly mentioned that "the spokesman is speaking on behalf of the government. If false information is said, the account will be recorded on the government. Once it is revealed, it will be considered that the government is telling lies, and the losses caused are huge. Be sure to say something that is true and can stand the test of history. "

Wang Yongping, who said "I believe it anyway" seven years ago, was once the object of criticism.

In November 2011, when Wang Yongping left for Poland in a low-key way, only a few family members and colleagues saw him off, and he didn’t want to tell more friends. On the same day, Wang Yongping was the last to board the plane. At the last minute, he raised his arm to the motherland that was about to leave for a period of time and made an unspeakable farewell.

Wang Yongping is indifferent to the present, which was difficult to achieve just a few years ago. Later, his past experiences became his lecture materials, and he enjoyed his teacher status.

Last year, Wang Yongping won the most popular teacher award of the year of the National Media Literacy Training Program for Leading Cadres. This award, which was selected by the students themselves, was happily exposed in the circle of friends. He jokingly wrote: "There was no honor in the job, but I got a certificate when I stepped back." "This is a little red flower for children."

The days that were once shrouded in public opinion have long passed. Wang Yongping said: "The life now is very transparent, and it is the life I want to live."

Red Star News: What do you think is the biggest change from retiring as a spokesperson to retiring and then becoming a spokesperson trainer?

Wang YongpingThe biggest change is to return to calm and calm from the cusp of the wind. Different platform positioning, different clients and different requirements for me — — It takes constant learning and improvement to adapt. On the whole, I feel that I am still working hard to promote information disclosure, meet public needs and play the role of the media, so to some extent, the ultimate goal of the speaker and the lecturer is the same.

In fact, this is a process from the front to the back. In the past, when you were a spokesperson, you had to resist pressure from all sides in special situations. Now, without facing the media, the camera and the society, it has become indifferent. I am very satisfied with this situation. Take the interview as an example. Speaking on behalf of the government in the past was the overall situation and must be rigorous. Now I am interviewed by reporters occasionally, and I only talk about personal matters, which are insignificant and relatively free.

Red Star News: There are many labels on you now, including former speakers, poets, writers, calligraphers and teachers. Which of these labels is your favorite?

Wang Yongping: These labels were put on me by others. After retirement, life becomes simpler and richer. Writing poetry, composition, photography, singing and speaking are all my interests, enriching my life, and expressing my heart truly. I feel particularly satisfied. In fact, when I was a spokesperson in the past, I didn’t want everyone to pay attention to me, but I wanted to pay attention to the development and changes of the railway. When I can’t be understood by others, I will be very anxious and try my best to hope that everyone will understand.

Now that I talk and do things, I don’t have much thought and pressure. For example, if I want to write a poem, I will write it when I am inspired. As for whether I can send it or not, I don’t care so much about what happens after I send it. When writing calligraphy, you can stay indoors for a long time and enjoy yourself. Friends never refuse to ask for words. I also tell the truth in class. If I don’t believe it, I won’t tell others.

Red Star News: Last year, you were awarded the most popular teacher award of the National Leading Cadres Media Literacy Training Program. What do you think of this affirmation and honor? Why does this honor make you particularly happy?

▲ Wang Yongping was awarded the certificate of "Most Popular Teacher Award of the Year" (Source: Red Star News)

Wang Yongping:I haven’t paid much attention to fame and fortune in my life, and I haven’t won any rewards in my post in the past. But this time, China Communication University gave me this honor, and I was really happy. This is the students’ recognition of the teacher’s lecture and their true reflection. The lecture itself made me feel very full and satisfied, and the college gave me this surprise, which naturally made me very happy. I photographed the certificate and showed it off in my circle of friends. I got hundreds of praises in less than half an hour.

In fact, many teachers have also won this award, and they all speak better than me. Maybe everyone recognizes me, because I am more practical in class, familiar with the situation, have accumulated a lot of life, have both positive and negative experiences, and can speak frankly, which is easy to resonate with everyone emotionally. In addition, I never sit in lectures or take manuscripts, because I hope to communicate with my friends equally and naturally, and what I say comes from my heart.

Red Star News: Why do you want to be a teacher after retirement?

Wang Yongping:When I just retired, I still had misgivings about being a teacher, and I had a lingering fear. I don’t want to come out and become the focus again. I just want to live a quiet, poetic and quiet life. However, the leaders of the State Council Office, the Communication University of China and the Sino-Singapore think tank did work for me, saying that my experience was a rare treasure and should be used. So, I promised with a try. The first time I went to the Sino-Singapore news think tank training class, I talked about "the responsibility of the spokesperson", but I didn’t expect the effect to be unexpectedly good. The applause was warm, and some people even wrote poems on the spot and handed them to the podium to encourage me. After class, the students lined up to take photos with me … …

I have a feeling of being understood after being wronged and trusted after being hyped. So, I began to dispel my doubts and boldly speak out my real experience and deep thinking in the past. Not only let a real Wang Yongping stand in front of everyone, but also let my experience and lessons turn into everyone’s wealth.

Red Star News: You always take yourself as a negative example. In those days, you said, "Believe it or not, I believe it anyway", and even you took it as your own "shocking words" to warn other news spokespersons. What are your considerations? After all, it was a press conference that ended your spokesperson’s career.

Wang Yongping:I did say I was willing to be a negative teacher. Because in the past a long time, netizens have given me such a position, and many experts and professors have also analyzed me as a negative case in the teaching of news communication. I have to comply with everyone. What’s more, there were indeed many unsatisfactory things in that conference, and experts have taken me as an example until now. I can understand that it was an unavoidable thing in the process of building the news speech system, but now it is much more rational.

In any case, I hope that the spokesperson I have trained will not have the experience of the spokesperson becoming a party again. After all, it is not a pleasant thing. As for the sentence "I believe it anyway", more consideration should be given to the mood and context at that time, and there is no rule out the element of self-mockery.

Red Star News: Is this sentence "I believed it anyway" the biggest regret in your press conference career?

Wang Yongping:This sentence may accompany me all my life and become a real label. I’m afraid no sentence will be repeatedly interpreted by the media like this one, and even when someone mentions this sentence later, I am particularly sensitive. I actually stressed my tone at that time. I was very anxious. I hoped that everyone would believe me. I hoped that this incident would not have too much impact on the high-speed rail. The starting point was to maintain the high-speed rail. But later, this sentence was misinterpreted as unreasonable. At one time, I also regretted it and couldn’t figure it out. How could this sentence have such a great negative impact? At that time, I didn’t want to surf the Internet for half a year, and I was deliberately isolated. After years of precipitation, my mood gradually calmed down.

After I calmed down, I began to explain why I said this at that time and what the context was. Later, in fact, I didn’t feel much anymore, and occasionally I felt very manly for daring to stand up at that time. Objectively speaking, if this sentence is not said, it will be better for the press conference at that time, but I will not regard it as a lifelong regret.

Red Star News: You have written four books abroad. Why have only three books been published and one has never been published?

Wang Yongping:When I was abroad, I wrote four books, one was a collection of poems in the Kingdom of Poetry, the other was a collection of essays on the banks of the Vistula River, and the other was a documentary literature, Walking on the Eurasian Continental Bridge. The unpublished book was a documentary literature called Believe, which wrote 200,000 words and recorded the events around the press conference of "723 Wenzhou bullet train accident". The purpose of writing a book is to make it clear to the society about the real situation and my real thoughts at that time, but now everyone knows the truth, and I am also worried that it will cause hype again after publication. Besides, it is inevitable to involve some people and things, and it is not my original intention to cause others to be attacked. Don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you, so this manuscript has been at the bottom of the box.

Red Star News: Some people think that the relationship between a spokesperson and a reporter is like a contest. As a spokesperson who was "stumbled" because of a press conference and a reporter’s containment, what do you think of the relationship between a reporter and a spokesperson? What do you think of the reporter’s criticism of the spokesman?

Wang Yongping:When I was a spokesperson, I always regarded journalists as friends, and I also gained their support for railway work and my personal friendship. Even at that time, I was deeply moved by the rationality and sincerity of many journalists and friends. At that time, some reporters did say something too much. Afterwards, they also reflected and even apologized to me. They also made me respect.

It is their duty for journalists to find fault, which is different from deliberate hype and should be respected and accepted. Moreover, I think that nitpicking is also a kind of motivation, which can make the spokesman more serious and rigorous, and finally achieve impeccable and non-nitpicking. Dealing with the media is a science, and my advice to the students is: to deal with the media with full preparation, to deal with the media with sharp eyes, to deal with the media with a peaceful mind and to deal with the media with a good image.

Red Star News: As the first generation spokesperson of the central ministries, you were once called the golden generation. Now, many of the golden generation of that year have now withdrawn from the ranks of spokespersons. Nowadays, the media communication environment, especially the change of new media communication channels, makes today’s news spokesmen face more criticism and scrutiny from the media and the public. What media literacy do you think should be added to adapt to this change and how to deal with the "magnifying glass" under the network environment?

Wang Yongping:At that time, all the spokesmen retired and transferred, and a new generation of spokesmen is growing. It is an objective law of the development of things that talented people come out in the Jiangshan generation. As for whether the communication environment is more complicated now, it should be objectively analyzed. Today, with the rapid development of new media and self-media, the channels of communication are more diverse and the audience is more and more extensive, which is more challenging for the spokesman. On the whole, however, due to the attention from top to bottom, the spokesman system is more perfect, the public opinion environment is more optimized, the audience is more rational, and the quality of the spokesman himself is also improved on the basis of the practice of the predecessors, so it is more appropriate to call it the "golden age" of news speech at present.

Red Star News: After retirement, do you continue to pay attention to the performance of other spokespersons? What’s the difference between a client and a bystander?

Wang Yongping:Will pay attention, but not deliberately, just a habit that has been continued from the past career. Because my past experience has made me feel the same way, I can especially understand their pressure and difficulties. Anyone can find fault, but it may not be beneficial. I don’t want to criticize others. Even if I have to be a comment teacher at the simulation conference, I will pay special attention to my attitude and wording, lest my words hurt others. As for the difference between the parties and the bystanders, in my opinion, the parties bear a heavy burden and have to face the judgment of everyone; The onlookers are calm and carefree, and the pressure and responsibility of the two are not the same, and the feeling is of course different.

Red Star News: A few years ago, you said that you lacked research and understanding of new media. What kind of research conclusions do you have in the past few years of retirement?

Wang YongpingAt the beginning, when the new media came head-on, because of my lack of due sensitivity and mature experience, I was greatly uncomfortable on the publishing platform and public opinion field. This is a profound lesson. It should be noted that in the Internet age, the speed, breadth, intensity and complexity of information dissemination are unprecedented, and learning, understanding and using the Internet will inevitably become the basic qualities of modern managers, especially news spokespersons. When I was training spokesmen and government officials, I put forward five points of communication in the new media era: openness and transparency, timeliness and rapidity, objectivity and truthfulness, sincerity and firmness and self-confidence. It’s kind of a family statement. I hope that our generation of spokesmen can become a documentary book, which not only narrates the historical facts of ups and downs, but also brings people to think, to understand the course of a generation’s struggle and the hardships of a group, a cause and a country’s rise.
