198 yuan tour Taihang! The reporter followed the "low-priced group" of the elderly for 3 days and 2 nights.

Peninsula all-media reporter Lu Jinxing

It’s another spring. With the situation of epidemic prevention and control gradually improving, the business of multi-site group tours has begun to sprout, and some low-cost tours have begun to "reproduce the rivers and lakes". The reporter’s WeChat circle of friends is also full of advertising information such as "Tang Feng Han Yun free tour to Xi ‘an" and "198 yuan Taihang three-day tour". This kind of low-priced tour, the fee charged is not even enough for the fare, there must be something fishy inside. Moreover, in recent years, the elderly have been deceived and even accidents have occurred from time to time when traveling with cheap groups. Most of these so-called tourism products will attract elderly consumers at low prices, and then they will sell all kinds of products to the elderly during the trip. Low-cost tour groups are endless, so its rationality is worth discussing. The reporter can’t bear the inner doubts, click on the link of "198 yuan Taihang three-day tour" and sign up to find out! The itinerary in the three-day tour link of Taihang is detailed, the food, accommodation and play are arranged properly, and the necessary consumption items, shopping spots and other information have been indicated, and it is emphasized that "voluntary consumption is not mandatory". The reporter originally thought that 198 yuan was a low price, but the elderly in the same trade even had 130 yuan sign up for the delegation.

Let’s go. There are only three young people out of 50.

At 5: 45 in the morning of March 12, the reporter went to Xinye Square in Shibei District according to the short message sent by the previous tour guide, waiting for a trip. Xinye Square is the starting place for many tour groups. When the reporter arrived, many buses had stopped and many elderly people were waiting here.

At 6: 06 am on March 12, people from all directions began to board the bus.

At 5: 55, according to the license plate number, the reporter boarded the bus full of 53 people and sat down according to the seats assigned by the tour guide. The agreed departure at 6 o’clock was delayed until 6: 10 because someone was late, and the vehicle will rush to the second boarding point "Dongli Shoes City" to continue to pick up the team members. At about 6: 30, the vehicle arrived at Dongli Shoes City. At this time, there were many people waiting to travel on the roadside near Dongli Shoes City. They were mainly elderly people over 60 years old. They would wait here and take their own bus to all parts of the country. After the team members were picked up again at the intersection of Chengyang Jiajiayuan and Lancun Expressway, all 50 team members of this trip have got on the bus. In addition to the previous payment of 198 yuan, the tour guide collected the necessary consumption items indicated in the itinerary: the transportation expenses of Guo Liang Village, Baligou and Nanping Scenic Area, tour guide service fees, other miscellaneous expenses, etc., totaling 100 yuan.

  At 6: 30 a.m. on March 12th, there were many people waiting to travel near Dongli Shoes City, most of whom were elderly people over 60 years old, and they would embark on tourist buses to all parts of the country.

In the 50-member tour group, except for the reporter and two other 70s, the rest are all over 60 years old by visual inspection, and there are not a few elderly people in their 70s. After the intermission in Weifang West and other places, from noon to noon, the driver chose to stop at Qihe service area, and the tour guide let everyone off for lunch. The two old people sitting next to the reporter were about 70 years old, and they brought a big bag of meals. Several of them also brought meals and ate at the service area. Through the dining reporters, it was found that most of these elderly people traveled by husband and wife, and two or three friends traveled together. Starting again after dinner, the tour guide told everyone that time is a little tight, and we will step up our journey later and try to drive for a long time before entering the service area. Because there were many people in the car, the air was sultry and the seating space was narrow, some team members began to take off their coats, and the reporter felt a little annoyed and his legs and feet began to feel numb.

  Less than two hours after the departure from Weifang West Service Area, an old man wanted to go to the toilet and the vehicle entered the service area again.

It’s a long journey. Fortunately, there are mobile phones. When bored, the old people grab their mobile phones, and some eat fruits and snacks such as cucumbers, oranges and apples to kill time. When the bus was driving, an old man in the front row of the reporter stood in the aisle, relaxed his legs and feet, and chatted with one in the back row. "My son is over 30, just changed his BMW, and the original car was given to us, so it is much more convenient for us to go out to play again." The old man standing turned his head and said …

  The crowded bus was packed.

  There were many people in the car, the air circulation was poor and the temperature was high. A team member took off his sweater.

After nearly 12 hours’ drive, the bus arrived in Xinxiang, Henan Province. After getting on the bus, the local tour guide Xiao Song guided the bus to move on. At 6 o’clock in the evening, he arrived at a hotel in Beizhai Village, Nanzhai Town, Huixian County. In the itinerary introduction, this hotel was praised as a three-star hotel without stars. When the reporter got off the bus, his legs and feet were almost out of control, but the performance of the old people in the same group surprised the reporter deeply. They quickly got off the bus and took off their luggage, and skillfully walked into the hotel and sat at the table. A simple dinner is the standard in 15 yuan. A table of steamed bread and corn paste for 10 people is full, perhaps because they have eaten enough big fish and meat at home. This simple dinner looks very appetizing for the elderly who travel, and everyone ends the "battle" at a very fast speed. Upstairs in the dining room is the room for accommodation. There is no heating for two people. Air conditioning is charged separately for 20 yuan.

  I stayed in a hotel in Beizhai Village, Nanzhai Town, Huixian County, and met the three-star standard according to the travel itinerary.

  At 6: 30 pm on the 12th, after arriving at Beizhai Village Hotel, Nanzhai Town, Huixian County, the team members had dinner.

  On the first day, the hotel conditions were relatively ok, but there was no heating. If you need to turn on the air conditioner, you will have to pay 20 yuan for a room.

Old people who swim and are not afraid of fatigue

According to the arrangement of the tour guide Xiao Song, everyone got up at 4: 30 in the morning, had breakfast at 5: 00 and set off at 5: 20 on the 13th. The 12-hour drive has made the reporter deeply tired. When the alarm clock sounded in the early morning, the reporter was filled with 100,000 unwillingness. Forced reporters to get up and go downstairs, the old people in the same industry sat at the table again, and no one was late. Steamed bread, corn paste, eggs and pickles, after a simple breakfast, the bus set off on time and rushed to the first scenic spot "Nanping Scenic Spot in Wan Xianshan". At 6: 30, I entered the Nanping Scenic Area in Wan Xianshan, which was too early. The bus in the scenic area didn’t run, and the tour guide signaled 20 yuan to take the van up the mountain at his own expense.

  At 5: 20 in the morning on the 13th, the team members who had breakfast were ready to take a bus to the scenic spot.

  At 5: 20 in the morning on the 13th, the team members who had breakfast were ready to take a bus to the scenic spot.

  On the morning of 13th, the team members boarded the bus and prepared to rush to Wan Xianshan scenic spot.

  Get off the bus and enter Wan Xianshan scenic spot through the ticket gate, then transfer to the van waiting in the scenic spot to enter the mountain, and each person will pay the fare to 20 yuan.

Before dawn, the Wuling Hongguang van, which is full of magic cars, galloped on the rugged and winding mountain road, and the driver’s skilled driving skills were amazing. If Wan Xianshan is compared to a beautiful ink painting, Nanping adds a little charm and vitality to this painting. Stone houses in Nanping are dotted like stars in the gully slope on the south side of Wan Xianshan. Go further along Xiaoshuanggou to Mojianfeng Waterfall, which is more than 120 meters high and is the highest waterfall in Wan Xianshan. The river flowing down has become a wisp of water line, which makes people feel more like a bunch of floating silk than a waterfall. This season, there are beautiful peach blossoms, apricot blossoms and pear blossoms here. Some members of the reporter’s group have already been to this scenic spot, but this time they came to the flower season and were still shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of them. The mountain road in the scenic spot is very steep. The reporter once worried that the old people in the group would be too much to eat, but later found that these worries were unnecessary. The old people took a photo here in groups of three and five, and took a photo there, and the pace did not lose the young people at all. Moreover, after the tour, they all arrived at the meeting place at the time specified by the tour guide, and then went to the next scenic spot, Guo Liang Village.

  A tourist from Wuhan is taking photos as a souvenir, and their tour group is also 198 yuan.

  The tourists had a great time.

  There are already early visitors in Wan Xianshan Scenic Area.

  Flowers are in full bloom on the cliffs in Danfengou, a scenic spot in Wan Xianshan.

The biggest highlight of Guo Liang Village is the road leading to the village. This is the amazing cliff promenade, with stone walls on one side and cliffs on the other, which is extremely thrilling. Originally, Guo Liang Village was a small closed mountain village. At the end of last century, villagers spontaneously cut mountains and dug roads, and finally dug a cave with a total length of 1,300 meters, which made them famous. It is also known as the "No.1 Film and Television Village in China", and many films such as "Hands Up" were filmed here. By the time the reporters and their party arrived in Guo Liang Village, a large number of tourists had gathered here, and they followed the people along the cliff promenade. At the entrance of Guo Liang Village, tourists from all over the world rushed to take pictures here as a souvenir. The old people took pictures in a variety of ways, full of creativity and laughter everywhere.

  Out of the Danfen ditch, I came to Guo Liang Village, where the wall-hanging highway is the most attractive.

Shopping, a "wonderful" sales promotion method

Getting up early gives everyone more time to visit two out-and-out scenic spots in one morning.

Lunch is at your own expense. If you want to eat, you should hand it over to 30 yuan. More than 30 people in the same car will pay for the meal, and the rest will be solved by bringing your own food. The meal will be finished before 12 o’clock. According to the tour guide, we will go to three shopping stores and a supermarket in the afternoon, and the shopping content will be kept secret for the time being. At 1 pm, the vehicle drove into the first shopping store-Thailand City.

  Two tourists from Hubei, bringing their own lunch and white wine, ate and drank on the roadside.

  After lunch, the first stop of shopping is latex products, and the salesperson shows the elasticity of latex mattress with raw eggs.

Latex is still the same theme, everyone came to a closed room, and sales began to teach everyone. First of all, it popularized the benefits of latex products to human body in a witty way, and showed the high quality of his products with eggs in a magic way. Finally, it introduced a variety of latex products such as latex mattresses, latex pillows, latex slippers, latex insoles, latex underwear and latex toothpaste, showing a kind of "there is always one for you" battle.

  In the latex shop, the tour groups from all over the world are mainly elderly people.

  Tired from the journey, some old people fell asleep lying on latex mats.

After more than an hour’s explanation, when the reporter thought it was coming to an end, the young man turned to sell traditional Chinese medicine, such as Gastrodia elata, Dendrobium, panax pseudo-ginseng, and the son of a prostitute who claimed to be able to treat male diseases such as prostate.

The lecture class finally ended. Through a small door in the room, everyone entered the latex product display area, and some old people directly lay down on the bed to rest. The sales girl sat by and further promoted the sale. Due to too many people, some of them were diverted to the Chinese medicine sales area. A variety of traditional Chinese medicine display, the reporter looks at the price, it is really not expensive, Dendrobium 23 yuan, but a closer look at the unit, it turned out to be a gram of 23 yuan. When the reporter asked about Dendrobium, a man who looked like a tourist leaned in and began to bargain with the sales staff. Finally, he talked about one gram of 13 yuan and negotiated with the reporter to buy it together. After being rejected by the reporter, he finally didn’t buy it. "This person is a trustee, and if you grab a handful of Dendrobium, you will get two or three hundred grams. It seems that the price is not expensive, and you have to spend two or three thousand as soon as you buy it." Uncle Wang, a colleague, quietly told reporters.

  Travel and shopping are full of time, and a tourist relaxes his legs and feet.

"It costs more than 250 yuan. I bargained that 150 yuan bought a latex pillow, and latex was bought before." An elder sister in the same trade said that since only two latex pillows were sold, the guy who explained the sales seemed a little agitated, and his tone of voice was far less sweet than at the beginning.

After more than two hours, everyone finally walked out of the latex shop in Thailand, and less than five minutes’ drive, they entered another shop on the same street, selling ganoderma lucidum spore powder.

This time, a female salesperson appeared. The main slogan was "The manufacturer took out the advertising fee. Can your uncles and aunts publicize it?" . The female salesman first took out a ganoderma lucidum soap, which is known as the original price of 50 yuan. Now it is sold to everyone in 10 yuan. If you buy it, you will get a red envelope, which contains the advertising expenses of the manufacturer, but you won’t know how much money is in it until you open it yourself. Seeing that the reporter didn’t bring any cash, he said, "Left hand goes out, right hand goes in, and this 10 yuan will be back soon." A fellow elder sister offered to lend it to the reporter, and sure enough, she got the soap, and after opening the presented red envelope, it was 10 yuan money. The female salesman then sold the 100 yuan Mingmu sticker after the discount in the same way, and of course returned to 100 yuan in the red envelope.

The third round is a silver cup worth nearly 3,000 yuan. The female seller sells it to everyone here at a price of 1,300 yuan. There is only one cup. "I bet I can come back this time. Try it." The big sister next to the reporter took out 1300 yuan and grabbed the cup. Sure enough, the red envelope of 1300 yuan was returned to her. This operation made the reporter feel embarrassed. When the reporter took out his mobile phone to take pictures, the staff next to him immediately stopped and asked for deletion.

The last appearance is Ganoderma lucidum spore powder. In the mouth of women, Ganoderma lucidum spore powder can cure three highs, myocardial infarction, constipation, diabetes, and even cancer, and can prolong life. The three boxes of ganoderma lucidum spore powder sold this time, the original price is more than 3 thousand, and the sales price is 1300 yuan after the discount is completed. After the same purchase, there are also red envelopes, limited to 6 places. Under the interlocking and passionate words of female sales, three old people bought ganoderma lucidum spore powder. When the reporter thought that the red envelopes were about to be distributed, the female salesperson was not in a hurry, saying that in order to thank the trust, support and purchase, the 1,300-yuan silver cup would be given to the three buyers for free. After getting the silver cup, the three old people looked satisfied. Should we distribute red envelopes next? No, the saleswoman was not in a hurry. She took out nine boxes of ganoderma lucidum spore powder and distributed them to three old people. "Is it worth it? The original price of six boxes of spore powder is more than 6,000 yuan, and there are also silver cups. You are also given an epidemic subsidy card. You can buy this brand of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder for 1,300 yuan for life, and the total value is nearly 8,000 yuan. Now even if I don’t return you a red envelope, do you think it is worth it? " The female salesperson asked loudly, and the "value" everyone responded loudly. The three old people who bought it also nodded frequently. At this time, the female salesperson slowly took out the red envelope, which made the plot turn again. "Limited edition coins have a huge appreciation space. Now the bank purchase price of the two-yuan banknotes we used before has turned hundreds of times. Here, I will give you the coin collections of countries along the Belt and Road, which will be of considerable value after appreciation in the future."Three big red envelopes with collection books were distributed to three old people. The one with the largest face value was a Vietnamese dong from 1000 yuan, which was equivalent to less than one yuan.

Walking out of the sales shop of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, it was already dark, and the reporter’s brain had not yet come out of the scene just now, so he was pulled to the third shop and sold pot shops.

Buses from all over the world pull tourists in line to enter this shopping store selling pots.

"Welcome all uncles and aunts, our factory sponsored this trip, and we brought you here to make a publicity for us, so we can go to JD.COM to buy our products later, so I hope you can cooperate with my work." A guy of 1.8 meters, with dark circles, made a "strong" appearance in selling pots.

The young man is thoughtful and eloquent, and he has a strong ability to control the whole audience. The reporter’s feeling at the scene is like listening to Degang Guo’s cross talk, which can be said that there is no urine spot in the whole process. The young man claimed to be a veteran, and said that he had kidney disease, was weak, had surgery on his waist, and had received five waves of tour groups that day, which was quite tiring.

At the beginning, I took out 36 titanium shovels and spoons worth 198 yuan, and said that there were 18 sets of combined knives for everyone at the end. Of course, the knives were sent out at the end, and we should promote the company’s product Qianfu titanium pot in the middle.

In more than an hour, through on-site cooking, popcorn explosion, strong damage without injury and other methods, the young man endowed this 2480-yuan pot with real non-stick, can be used for more than ten years, is rich in silver ions, and has low health price. Finally, it’s time to deliver the knives. This set of three-piece knives worth more than 500 yuan looks very good in quality and is also a titanium product. The rule that people who didn’t get shovels and spoons can get knives is no longer mentioned, but those who want knives raise their hands and stand in front. Thirty-five people stood in the front space, and the young man was blocked in the passage and began to count the number of people. "There are many people who want knives, but we only have 18 sets of knives. Now let me test my uncle and aunt. As we all know, a BMW driver can never become friends with a cyclist. Our knives are very good and should be given to people with spending power. So now please take out 1000 yuan cash to prove that you have spending power, so I can give you the knives. If you don’t bring cash, you can pay us by credit card, WeChat and Alipay, and we will give cash. The young man skillfully and confidently controlled the audience. As soon as this move came out, 15 people quit, leaving 20 elderly people holding thousands of dollars in cash.

Only by collecting 1000 yuan can we get the knives.

Everyone was given a set of knives, and when everyone thought it would be over after dividing the knives, the young man started his "performance" again. "Dear uncles and aunts, we have two more now, and we have 18 sets of knives. What should we do if we have two more? Now let me test your uncles and aunts again. Just now, everyone said that they would buy our products when they went back. I hate it when others cheat me. "The young man took out the titanium pot just shown. "Didn’t you just say you would buy our products? The original price of this titanium pot is 2480 yuan. Now I sell it to you in 1000 yuan. Let’s see if what I just said counts. "The young man stuffed the pot to the old man. When the old man said that he just bought a pot at home and didn’t want to buy it again, the young man snatched the knife and pot from the old man’s hand. The second old man said to buy, and the young man once again showed his sincerity, buying one get one free, buying a titanium pot and sending another pot. Then this test was staged for 19 old people in turn, and finally 6 people chose to buy a titanium pot.

It was dark when I came out of the third pot shop.

Carrying a pot out of the pot shop, it was already dark. "I haven’t seen this routine of buying pots before today," said an elder sister with a little excitement. After getting on the bus, the tour guide Xiao Song expressed an apology of 12 points. He also said that uncles and aunts are about the same age as his parents. It is really unbearable to be so involved today. However, due to the epidemic, the tourism industry is difficult to survive, and such arrangements are all for survival. The next shopping supermarket mainly sells bamboo charcoal products. The tour guide Xiao Song seems to ask everyone to buy something more or less with a pleading attitude and tone, so that he can get a little commission and support his family. The reporter was also moved by Xiao Song’s words and decided to buy something more or less to support his work. The sale of bamboo charcoal products means to delay everyone’s time as little as possible. After a short and quick explanation, everyone started shopping. Almost everyone spent money here. From the last supermarket, it was dark, and it was 8: 30 in the evening.

In the last shopping supermarket, there are many kinds of goods.

According to the reporter’s estimation, in addition to the tour fare ranging from 130 yuan to 198 yuan, plus the compulsory tickets and transportation fees for 100 yuan scenic spot and the lunch fee for 60 yuan, the group shopping of 50 people will cost about 16,000 yuan.

From the last supermarket, it was dark, and it was 8: 30 in the evening.

The place to eat and live in the evening has changed, and the time to start eating dinner is already 9 o’clock in the evening.

After dinner, I arrived at the hotel. The room conditions of the triple room were simple, there was no hot water and internet, and the bed was not clean and tidy enough. Teacher Wang, who shared the room with the reporter, was afraid of the cold and paid for the air conditioner, but the air conditioner with yellow shell had only a weak warm wind, which hardly played any role.

At 9 pm on the 13th, everyone finally had dinner.

The return trip is another 12-hour gallop.

On the third day, I got up early again and got up at 5 o’clock.

A simple breakfast with eggs and corn paste as standard. Once again, the old people completed these procedures on time and efficiently, and set off at 5: 40 for Baligou, the last scenic spot on this trip.

Baligou is 8 kilometers round trip, and you can take a bus, one way to 10 yuan. After enjoying the beautiful scenery brought by the uncanny workmanship of Taihang Mountain, the reporter returned to the assembly point by bus. To the reporter’s amazement, some elderly people who are nearly 70 years old actually walk all the way to and from the whole scenic spot.

On the way home, the driver wiped his face with a wet towel to refresh himself.

At 11 o’clock on the 14th morning, after lunch at 30 yuan’s own expense, the reporter and his party set foot on their way back to Qingdao. After seeing the tour guide Xiao Song off for a while, he said goodbye to everyone and got off the bus. It’s a long way, and the return journey is expected to take nearly 12 hours. Drivers and tour guides are worried that if there is any delay on the road and the bus is banned after 2 am, everyone will probably sleep in the service area. Therefore, the driver accelerated the speed and reduced the number of trips to the service area. After stopping at Lancun, Jiajiayuan and Dongli Shoes City, the bus finally arrived at the finish line safely at 11 pm.

In the night, the bus galloped on the highway, and the team members grabbed their mobile phones to pass the time.

The trip lasted for three days and two nights, about 28 hours were spent on the road, and nearly 8 hours were spent on shopping. Excluding the time for eating and sleeping, everyone only spent 8 hours playing.

At 10 o’clock on the evening of 14th, the bus arrived at Dongli Shoes City, and some team members got off.

On the long way back, the old people didn’t feel tired at all. They paddled their mobile phones and watched the wonderful moments taken in the scenic spot, and some even sang a little song. "There is wine drunk today, and there is no wine to drink cold water in the Ming Dynasty. I went out for more than 20 times last year. There are many routines in this kind of tour, and there is no way to think about routines." An elder sister who lives in Chengyang said cheerfully that she had just returned from Lushan Mountain on March 9, and then she joined the Henan tour group. On the 20th, she will set off again for a six-day Yunnan tour group, and the price is less than that of 500 yuan.

On the way home, a team member was admiring the photos of the scenic spots taken by the mobile phone.

Traveling has become a lifestyle for the elderly.

Yu Shijun, who is 70 years old, is also a member of this trip. She just returned from Lushan Mountain on the 9th and will join the Yunnan tour group on the 20th. Yu Shijun, a native of Qingdao, went to Binzhou with her parents to work and live in Binzhou. Because she couldn’t bear the loneliness of sitting in an office during those years of work, she liked to play around, so that she could have a look at the scenery in various places after her business trip. Because of his strong working ability, Yu Shijun won the title of model worker in the company, and was also awarded the honorary title of "Advanced Worker in the City" by Binzhou City. He also made a lot of money running his business. After retirement, he bought a commercial house in Qingdao and returned to live in Qingdao.

Yu Shijun of Taihang Mountain in Henan Province.

In 2002, Yu Shijun, who was restless, became fascinated by cycling, taking part in cycling from Qingdao to Shanghai, then to Beijing and then back to Qingdao. From then on, I couldn’t stop cycling all over China, South Korea in 2003 and France and Britain in 2012. Yu Shijun, who looks emaciated, has twice completed the feat of riding all over the country. Yu Shijun said that since 2002, she has started riding all over China. Every day, the mileage is done as planned. Every time she goes to a big province or a certain city, she has to buy a map. Sometimes it takes 8 to 10 hours to ride a bike, and it takes 200 miles a day. Depart at 6: 00 in the morning and find a hotel to rest around 5: 00 in the afternoon. "The hotels I live in are basically the cheapest, and sometimes I stay in the homes of citizens. When they hear that I have a dream of riding all over the country, they are very enthusiastic about me." Yu Shijun said that there is also a great "welfare" in the process of riding-enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

Yu Shijun is in Shilin.

Yu Shijun has two children, and his grandson has already gone to primary school. In 2014, when his grandson was 5 years old, she took him on a free trip for more than 100 days. The grandparents and grandchildren visited more than 20 cities in 12 provinces to broaden their horizons before entering school. Yu Shijun also went to Tibet five times, and she rode all the Qinghai-Tibet Line, Sichuan-Tibet Line and Yunnan-Tibet Line. Because his wife needs to take care of the elderly at home, Yu Shijun’s travel is almost always accompanied or alone.

Yu Shijun’s footprints are almost all over the world. Due to the epidemic, traveling abroad is out of reach. Yu Shijun has participated in this low-cost tour similar to Henan tour once, that is, the Lushan tour that ended on the 9 th of this month. "This trip to Taihang is not the hardest. It takes 15 hours to travel one way. We old people have taken tourism as their life. When we are bored at home and can’t eat, we will go out for a trip and feel better when we come back. We can make friends, enjoy the scenery and experience life. Why not?" The price of Yu Shijun’s trip to Henan this time is 130 yuan, which is much lower than the reporter’s 198 yuan. "There are many WeChat groups for travel now, and each group sends a line, so I will choose which one is cheaper, and it’s the same line, which will eat and live the same way anyway." After comparing 198 yuan, 140 yuan and 130 yuan, she chose the lowest price. "This is not to save this ten yuan, but I feel that after my own comparison and choice, the process of saving 10 yuan money is also a kind of enjoyment, indicating that I still have the methods and ability." Yu Shijun said.

In June 2009, Yu Shijun rode alone in Lhasa.

Yu Shijun has her own understanding of shopping in tour groups. "We are all elderly people, and we have plenty of time to go out for a walk, which is a good choice. Otherwise, we will be bored at home. When signing up for these cheap tour groups, we have already prepared our minds. We will buy what we need, but I won’t buy what we don’t need, and they don’t have compulsory consumption, so we all know it." Yu Shijun said that the elderly group was very tired and hard to travel early in the morning, sitting in the shopping store and listening. Moreover, some knowledge told by the sales staff about health and the use of kitchen utensils is still very useful.

The existence of "0 yuan Tour Group" is reasonable.

Aunt Song, who lives in Chengyang, is 75 years old. On March 12th, she joined a tour group in Rizhao. The price was 100 yuan, and she gave 15 Jin of duck eggs. Song Dayi said that after the trip, silk quilts and goat milk powder were sold. No one forced you to buy them. If you like to buy them, you can buy them. There are 11 other elderly people in the community with Song Dayi and his party.

"The car with 50 people, the car and the car are full of people, a table with 8 dishes and one soup, and the food is very good. One of our children is getting married and needs to buy silk quilts, so she bought three silk quilts at 2700 yuan, which is not enough. Today, she reported to the group to buy them." Aunt Song’s oldest is 78 years old and the youngest is 62 years old. People who are usually busy.

Last year, 100 yuan, the great aunt of Song Dynasty, swam through Lanling and sent 6 kg of cucumber, 6 kg of lettuce and 6 kg of onion. 10 yuan swam through Rongcheng and went to a shopping mall to sell kelp products. I once visited Yantai, Weihai and Penglai in 0 yuan for three days, and I didn’t spend a penny, so I was embarrassed myself, so later she didn’t take part in this kind of 0 yuan. "This kind of group leaves almost every day and is full every day. It usually picks up people from Jimo, Lancun, Xifu Town and Jiajiayuan." She went out more than ten times last year.

Uncle Wang is 76 years old and lives in Tuandao. He had surgery for cancer last year, and he can no longer look after his grandson due to physical reasons. Since then, he has also started to travel. After a lifetime of hard work, he wants to go out for a walk while his legs and feet are still convenient. "It’s like going out to play, or when you can’t walk, you’ll live in a nursing home, and you won’t see anything." Years ago, I went out to buy a physical therapy bed and gave it to my sister. It was said that it could treat low back pain, and it cost 4,000 yuan. Four thousand yuan is not a decimal, but uncle Wang thinks it can bring health to his sister and relieve her low back pain. This money is really nothing.

An elderly tourist sat down to have a rest.

A citizen traveling alone with the reporter said that "it is the highest state to see through without breaking". Indeed, on the surface, the elderly may be deceived when they go out, but in fact, the current population is aging seriously, and the only child is forced to make their own living, so they rarely have time to chat or even care for the elderly. Loneliness and boredom are the main factors that plague the elderly and even affect their physical and mental health. Choosing a low-cost tour group costs less, and it is better to have a young tour guide to accompany you and laugh, including food, shelter and transportation, and to enjoy the beautiful scenery of all places together, which is many times better than living in a nursing home. Although it seems unreasonable and unreasonable for this suspicious low-cost group or even 0 yuan group, there is room and reason for its existence. With such a large number of buses coming from all over the country, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of elderly people who take part in shopping every day. If some elderly people feel cheated, there should be a few complaints. These lines are still so healthy, which shows that their existence is reasonable and demanding.

Reporter’s opinion > > >

"Group pension" may be shining into reality.

For people, boredom is very terrible. Because boredom can make us lazy, want to do nothing and are not interested in anything, which is more harmful to middle-aged and elderly people. Now that the aging society in China has arrived, what should I do after retirement? Generally speaking, everyone has his own interests, and this hobby will accompany us all our lives. Old people have their own hobbies and things they like to do, so naturally they won’t feel lonely and bored. Travel is also a very good way for the elderly to resist boredom. Travel can not only bring them healthy body and mind, but also improve their interest in life and aesthetic pursuit.

  A large number of tourists are waiting in line to enter Baligou Scenic Area, and the tourists are mainly elderly people.

The youth of the elderly can be said to be dedicated to their work and their children. They used to run around for their children every day. Now that their children have married, the elderly have more leisure time and more time to experience and enjoy life in the outside world. When the elderly go out, they can communicate with some peers and promote communication. It is undeniable that communication is everywhere in today’s society. However, the development of science and technology has not made it more convenient and frequent for children to communicate with their elderly parents. Perhaps some children have not called home several times all year round, and they don’t have so much time to go back to see the elderly, so the elderly will naturally feel lonely and lonely. Travel can relieve loneliness, and increase the opportunities for interpersonal communication when traveling. For the elderly, they don’t even care too much about who they communicate with! Traveling for the elderly enriches their horizons, and at the same time makes them less lonely and bored, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. With the prevalence of three-five-day old-age tour groups, we can see that the reality in No Country directed by Zhao Ting may not happen in China, and the way of "supporting the elderly in groups" may become a common phenomenon in the near future.

Pay equal attention to material and spiritual, and care for the elderly has a long way to go.

Sun Qipan, a social security expert at the Institute of Social Sciences of Qingdao Academy of Social Sciences, believes that with the development of society, the material life of the elderly has been guaranteed, but the spiritual level is far from enough. Nowadays, food, clothing and shelter are no longer a problem. The international community calls for the elderly to have a decent and quality life, and their spiritual needs also need attention.

"Now this university for the elderly is very popular, and there are many nail households, and some elderly people have attended one issue after another, which is essentially the same as the tourism elderly group, which is the spiritual demand of the elderly for providing for the elderly." Sun Qipan said that the society has not paid enough attention to the spiritual needs of the elderly, and the elderly are also looking for satisfaction in this respect through their own ways. Sun Qipan suggested that the government can increase the promotion of universities for the elderly in the community, and establish branches in the community to meet the needs of the elderly, so that the elderly can participate in music classes and dance classes and make friends. It is also suggested that the government should let the elderly social workers and social volunteers go to the community to organize related activities for the elderly in the form of purchasing services to enrich their lives. In view of the current elderly tour groups, it is suggested that the relevant departments of cultural tourism, civil affairs and transportation issue normative documents to clearly regulate the rights and obligations of the elderly and operators. For example, teams with a large number of elderly people need at least one doctor in each car, as well as related drugs and first-aid equipment to ensure the travel safety of the elderly, and they also need to buy enough insurance for the elderly.

Peninsula review > > >

Don’t let the old people "fight with wits" any more.

Peninsula commentator Gao Shuhua

"Today’s wine makes you drunk, but in the Ming Dynasty, there was no wine to drink cold water. I went out for more than 20 times last year, and there are many routines in this kind of tourism. I can’t think of any routines" … Who is the prey and which is the hunter? Low-cost travel, an old-fashioned topic that can no longer be old-fashioned, has been vomited and disdained by countless netizens. However, an experience of our reporter has really subverted the cognition of most people. The old people are willing to "be routine" after taking the trouble to travel long distances. It is actually to solve loneliness and loneliness.

For a long time, low-priced groups have become a chronic disease in the tourism market. Tour fees that are too low to earn money must be filled by shopping and other self-funded items, which disrupts the order of the tourism market. China’s tourism law clearly stipulates that travel agencies are not allowed to obtain kickbacks and other illegitimate interests by arranging shopping or adding paid tourism projects. Recently, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also launched actions to thoroughly rectify the outstanding problems such as "unreasonable low-cost travel" in the tourism market, so as to protect the legitimate rights and interests of tourists and create a fair competition environment in the tourism market.

In this low-cost tour group that the reporter participated in, it is also full of low-cost group standard items-shopping. However, the old people are surprisingly calm, and even regard "seeing through without breaking" as the highest realm and "coexist peacefully" with various routines. They see through the brainwashing-induced shopping routine and only spend money on necessary goods. Tourists are not slaughtered for no reason, and travel agencies have achieved the goal of "no loss if someone buys it". On the surface, it seems that both sides have their own needs and maintain a delicate balance, which is probably the main reason for the tenacious existence of low-priced groups.

Retirement is a beautiful yearning for those of us who are still struggling in the workplace from time to time. We don’t have to worry about the house, car and children. If we don’t work, we get a pension. We dance in the square every day and go out to play once in a while … But how many people have thought that people are a group, and no one can survive without the group. Another meaning of retirement is "leaving the group", which means the loneliness of leaving the unit, the original "organization" and the children who rarely meet. Therefore, it is easy to understand why college enrollment for the elderly is hot, and the old people at school would rather "repeat the grade" than graduate. I don’t want to graduate, not for anything else, just because there are classes, teachers and classmates there. Old people take part in all kinds of activities persistently and enthusiastically, just to keep up with society and keep up with the times. When the old people’s participation needs can’t be met, they choose low-cost tour groups with full routines.

It is a helpless and realistic choice for the 60-year-old and 70-year-old people to travel for more than ten hours, with unsatisfactory food and accommodation conditions and fast-paced trips that young people can’t afford. As the regulatory authorities continue to increase the intensity of rectification, low-cost tour groups in the gray area will eventually disappear.

Travel can broaden your horizons and relax your mood, but high-quality travel and low-cost shopping tour are two different things. Low-priced tour groups are the deformed products of the vicious competition for the market, which goes against the original intention of the healthy growth of the tourism industry, damages the rights and interests of consumers, and is not conducive to the physical and mental health of the elderly. With the arrival of an aging society, facing this huge consumer market, the tourism industry should make up its mind, change its thinking, give consideration to both price and quality, launch special tourism projects for the elderly, and bring the elderly a pleasant travel experience with more scientific and reasonable travel routes, a combination of work and rest, and quality and caring services, instead of falling into a vicious circle of "magic height is one foot high" and "wits are one foot high".

Pakistani officials: The political situation in Afghanistan is turbulent or exacerbates the drug smuggling problem.

  Pakistani officials recently said in an interview with the media that the escalating unrest in Afghanistan may intensify drug smuggling activities and will also aggravate the drug problem in Pakistan.

  According to the Nikkei Asian Review reported on July 10th, akbar Durani, the federal secretary of Pakistani anti-drug department, expressed his concern in an interview with the magazine. Durani believes that Afghanistan is one of the main challenges facing Pakistan’s drug control. "If Afghanistan does not achieve political stability, it may aggravate the problems we have already encountered." Durani said, "Political stability is very much needed."

  So far, the Doha peace talks brokered by the United States have made little progress. However, Durani stressed that the future is full of uncertainties, and a political solution may still bring the drug problem in Afghanistan under control.

  The Nikkei Asia Review pointed out that Pakistan has long been a destination for drug production in Afghanistan, but the war has led to a sharp increase in drug production and smuggling. At present, the scale of drug economy in Afghanistan is much larger than that when the United States invaded 20 years ago. Even if the Taliban seize power and end the conflict, it may not be able to curb the drug trade, which has become an important part of the Afghan economy and provides income for many Afghans.

  In addition, if it seizes power, the Taliban may be sanctioned and isolated by the international community, forcing it to rely on drug trafficking and other illegal activities to obtain income.

  Durani said that it is not clear whether the Taliban can control drugs, but he pointed out that the organization did manage to "control" drugs when managing the government. In 2000, the Taliban banned poppy cultivation.

  Afghanistan is currently the largest opium producer in the world. According to United Nations data, Afghanistan’s opium production accounts for 85% of the global production in 2020. Opium produced in Afghanistan is exported as raw materials or processed into heroin and morphine for smuggling. Pakistan seized 8 tons of heroin in 2019, second only to Turkey and Iran.

  In its latest World Drug Report, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime warned that poverty and unemployment related to the COVID-19 pandemic may "increase the attraction of illegal crop cultivation".

The same search giant: Why is Baidu’s financial report more attractive than Google’s?

Today, Baidu released its financial report for the fourth quarter of 2019. In terms of core business progress, Baidu’s mobile business grew in an all-round way. The daily users of Baidu App reached 195 million, up 21% year-on-year, and the monthly active users of Baidu smart applet reached 316 million, up 114% year-on-year. Its positive potential further promoted Baidu’s net profit to 9.2 billion yuan in the fourth quarter, up 95% year-on-year.

Baidu’s commercial revenue has increased for three consecutive quarters, and it has continued to rebound. Its profitability is improving and it has gained more users.

Baidu mobile ecology entered the delivery period.

Behind Baidu’s sustained high growth, Baidu’s mobile ecology has taken shape, and it has now entered the delivery period and the income realization period.

At present, Baidu mobile ecology has formed three pillars: Baijiahao+smart applet+hosting page.

Looking back, we will find that Baidu’s mobile ecological layout has been constantly adjusted and upgraded in the past few years.

In the past few years, Baidu has been solving content problems by laying out hundreds of numbers; In 2016, Baidu launched an information flow product, established a dual-engine strategy of search+information flow in 2017, and released smart applets in 2018. In July 2018, after initially solving the content problem, Baidu began to build new connections. Last year, the dual ecological pattern of "No+smart applet" was gradually formed.

In December 2019, Baidu App had a daily activity of 195 million, Baijiahao had 2.6 million content producers, the release of original content was more than three times that of the same period last year, and the monthly active users of Baidu smart applet reached 316 million. The number of smart applets is 35 times that of a year ago. The initial scale of smart applets has enabled Baidu to form a closed loop from retrieving information to obtaining goods and services.

The benign interaction and content diversification ecology formed between search and Baijiahao and smart applets have gradually broken the "island" effect of the mobile Internet.

In the second half of last year, Baidu began to encourage advertisers to migrate landing pages to "hosted pages". Merchants can independently publish content, information and services to achieve efficient connection and interaction with users, reducing the risk of landing pages and improving advertising quality and user experience.

The financial report shows that in the fourth quarter, the revenue of hosted pages increased to about a quarter of Baidu’s core revenue. It is understood that the solution of hosting page has covered life service, B2B, law and other fields, and advertisers are also actively embracing Baidu hosting page.

An important reason is that those smaller businesses that do not have the development ability can use Baidu’s artificial intelligence capabilities through Baidu’s hosting marketing platform. Small and medium-sized enterprises can keep up with the latest internet technology and continuously improve the conversion rate by opening an account without buying servers and software. Moreover, the hosted page is built with a data structure, which can guarantee the quality of content and enhance the trust of consumers.

Behind the continuous high growth of Baidu App’s daily activities and user duration, the dual ecological construction of Baijiahao and smart applets has been initially completed, and the managed page mechanism has also achieved results. The three pillars have entered the delivery period from the construction period, which also gives Baidu the ability to help advertisers build a closed-loop marketing.

In fact, it also confirms Citigroup’s judgment in Q3 last year: the combination of Baijiahao+smart applet+hosting page has improved the user’s usage time and user experience; The number of in-terminal searches has increased, and it is expected that the traffic and in-terminal queries will be consistent with the income growth in the second half of 2020.

Baidu’s financial report is more attractive than Google’s.

As a search giant, Baidu is often used to benchmark Google, but at present, Baidu’s financial report is more attractive than Google’s.

Google’s previously released financial report data showed that its operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2019 was 9.3 billion US dollars, far below the market expectation of 9.9 billion US dollars. Alphabet’s revenue in the fourth quarter was $46.1 billion, less than analysts’ expectations of $46.9 billion. A number of indicators failed to meet Wall Street expectations, and the core revenue advertising business was also slightly tired. Analysts question how Google should support the trillion-dollar market value in the future.

One is lower than expected, and the other is stabilizing and warming up. Behind this is actually that the business growth space and potential brought by the ecological innovation of mobile content are different.

Behind Google’s lower-than-expected revenue is the lack of innovation highlights in the digital advertising business that supports its core revenue, the lack of achievements in the ecological layout of mobile content, and the failure to effectively upgrade its business performance and user experience, which suppresses its liquidity in digital advertising and the expectations of the capital market.

For example, it was only in September 2018 that Google announced that it would push the news of information flow through the "Discover" function, but its information flow business at this time was already two years later than Baidu’s. Nevertheless, Google only planned to invest in information flow advertisements on the home page of mobile applications in 2019, and now the effect is not obvious. Google’s core advertising model is still following the past "search" advertisements, including Google Adwords and display advertisements.

In addition, in response to the general trend of online shopping users bypassing Google search and directly searching for products through platforms such as Amazon and Wal-Mart, Google launched "popular products", which enhanced the search function of e-commerce, searched for keywords, and products appeared on the search results page with a sliding and interactive interface. However, Google’s single function, which is based on saving users and rushing online, lacks overall strategic thinking. At present, the effect remains to be seen, because the search experience of platforms such as Amazon has formed a strong appeal to shoppers.

According to eMarketer, Amazon is expected to report that its share of net digital advertising revenue in the United States will increase from 6.8% in 2018 to 8.8% in 2019. Facebook’s market share is expected to rise from 21.8% in 2018 to 22.1% in 2019. Google’s market share is expected to drop from 38.2% in 2018 to 37.2% in 2019.

Analysts are questioning whether services such as Amazon and Facebook’s Instagram are attracting online shoppers and thus attracting advertisers away from Google.

For many years, Google’s revenue has been highly dependent on advertising, but Google has not formed a set of mobile content ecology that is constantly upgrading, serving both brand commercialization and users’ rigid needs to promote the continuous improvement of its content and experience and provide incremental value to advertisers. Therefore, in the face of Facebook’s social advertising and Amazon’s e-commerce advertising, the competitiveness of Google’s old advertising model’s user experience and effect is weakened, and its advertising market is also being eroded.

However, the incremental space of Google’s original mobile mode is quite limited, so its growth is increasingly dependent on YouTube and cloud services.

However, under the strong suppression of Amazon and Microsoft cloud business, it is difficult for Google Cloud to support its second growth curve. According to research institute Gartner, Amazon AWS currently ranks first, accounting for 32.3% of the market share in the cloud computing market; Ranked second is Microsoft Azure, with a market share of 16.9%; Google Cloud ranked third with 5.8%.

However, on Baidu’s side, the three pillars of Baijiahao, smart applet and hosted page promote Baidu’s business ecology, and Baidu Mobile Ecology can better achieve the double matching of content and service, thus better retaining users and developers. And brand owners, achieving a balance between business and user experience.

In addition, Baidu carried out a comprehensive "upgrade" of information and knowledge in 2019–not only self-built content, but also strengthened the knowledge and information ecology through strategic investment.

In the past 15 years, Baidu has accumulated more than 1 billion pieces of high-quality content including knowledge, encyclopedia and library. Baidu Encyclopedia, Baidu Library and Baidu know that these three products have established cooperation with more than 7,000 authoritative organizations such as China Association for Science and Technology, China Anti-Cancer Association, People’s Daily Digital Communication, and National Literature Center for Philosophy and Social Sciences, so as to promote more authoritative and professional knowledge content and structure.

Baidu’s own content system-Post Bar, Know, Encyclopedia, Baijiahao, Iqiyi, Good-looking Video and other content and information channels have been fully connected and searched, completing the closed loop of mobile ecology.

At the same time, Baidu has successively invested in high-quality vertical content such as fruit shell, uncle Kai telling stories, Zhihu, etc., and entered the children’s content track, free reading entrance and knowledge quiz community respectively. These contents are connected to Baidu App and integrated into the product matrix such as information flow.

Take Zhihu as an example, it has 220 million users and 130 million answers, and a lot of content can already be seen on the homepage of Baidu search.

This mobile ecology with information and knowledge as the core has two values:

On the one hand, it can reflect the development trend of events through the summary, integration and analysis of information, and deepen the understanding and understanding of things. Based on a powerful knowledge map, it can help users greatly expand the boundaries of knowledge. For example, in this epidemic, the value of big data formed by "knowledge and information ecology" highlights its important decision-making value in epidemic prevention and control.

On the other hand, implement key influence on users’ key decisions. Obtaining information is a key node in the user’s decision-making path. Baidu can implement key influence on both search and recommendation decision paths, and Baidu has entered the stage of mining users’ commercial value from the pursuit of traffic.

That is to say, its entire ecosystem has formed a closed-loop and synergistic effect. Through search+information flow, it comprehensively covers the users who need search and the user groups who obtain information, and takes the "ecology with information and knowledge as the core" to intervene in every step of the user decision-making chain, accurately understanding the user’s needs. The ecological barrier of mobile content in turn improves the efficiency of advertising realization and strengthens the search moat.

However, we pull the perspective back to Google. At present, Google has not made similar innovations and layouts in the mobile content ecology, but has been adding more and more advertisements to existing search platforms and map products. Despite the overall slowdown in growth, the ninth operating profit in the past 10 quarters failed to meet expectations, Google still follows its inherent search advertising model.

This is why Baidu is more attractive than Google’s financial report, because the two have been on different tracks. Relatively speaking, Baidu has been deeply involved in the mobile content ecology in recent years, and when it is busy, Google continues to be in an old-fashioned mentality in the mobile ecological layout. Although Google is still making money, as Facebook and Amazon continue to nibble at the plates of digital advertisements, there is not much time left for Google’s layout.

Behind the high growth, the potential and value of Baidu’s business ecology

In the context of the overall pressure on the advertising industry in 2019, Baidu’s business grew steadily for three consecutive quarters. The author believes that Baidu’s mobile content eco-driven marketing model upgrade has broken through the ceiling of the advertising industry.

This is reflected in the layout of the content layer "Baijiahao+smart applet" and the touch layer "search+information flow", which can not only provide one-stop service for users, but also provide advertisers with a complete ecosystem of integrated delivery. On the one hand, Baidu’s strategy of exchanging investment for growth is quite effective, and it also stems from the steady rise of the content layout that blooms in all directions and enters the harvest season.

Especially when we compare Tencent and Baidu, which are also engaged in information flow business, this experience of content ecology is very valuable.

First, Baidu advertising puts more emphasis on user safety, which improves the advertising quality and user experience. Tencent has display advertisements, mainly Tencent News and Tencent Video. There are online alliance advertisements such as Guangdiantong, social advertisements, etc., which relatively retain the traditional advertising model and experience.

The upgrade of Baidu’s advertising model lies in that "hosted pages" greatly reduce the risk of landing pages, while the ever-developing content ecology and services attract creators and providers to put content and services on Baidu’s hosting platform, which attracts more users on the one hand and improves the advertising quality, user experience and advertising conversion rate on the other.

The second is the difference between information flow advertisements: both of them have information flow advertisements. Baidu takes Baidu App as the core, and integrates the channel traffic and content service resources within the system, providing an internal driving force for the accurate matching of user duration and advertisements. Although Tencent’s information flow business integrated QQ Watch, QQ Browser and Daily Express last year, the product lines such as Tencent News, Daily Express and Microvision are still independent.

With a high-quality product team and traffic, Tencent’s advertising business is dull or there is no closed loop in the content ecology.

Third, Baidu’s advertising revenue growth against the trend depends on its content ecology and the mature ability of the whole chain marketing model.

An important action of Baidu on the commercial side in 2019 is the launch of "N.E.X.T Baidu Full Chain AI Marketing". What it is doing is to form a full-chain user interactive marketing scheme through the combination of public domain, commercial domain and private domain traffic-from search to generating consumption intention to final consumption action, the whole link can be completed within Baidu’s ecology. Baidu AI and big data help brands to find potential users, and then rely on Baidu’s ecology.

In addition, Baidu has strengthened its IP capability. Last year, Baidu announced eight IP resources, including Baidu, Baidu National Tide Season and Good Luck China Year. Relying on the resources such as video, content and offline activities in Baidu’s ecology, from last year’s National Tide Season to Baidu’s boiling point, it can be seen that the integration and linkage of these resources and portals shortened the link between brand exposure and transformation.

For advertisers, Baidu’s AI+IP is showing new potential-various IP resources are driven by AI, forming a more diversified gameplay upgrade, and the traffic value after IP packaging has also been further developed, that is, Baidu’s content ecological layout has driven the industry marketing to break, highlighting new commercial potential.

Conclusion:

If we review Baidu’s continuous content ecological layout for many years, we can know that Baidu has been delaying its satisfaction, putting its goal in a few years and paying more attention to long-term value.

Baidu’s new financial report has gradually highlighted its upward trend, which actually means that after half a year’s adjustment, Baidu’s mobile ecology has entered a stable growth channel and entered a delivery period and a revenue period. Its layout in the mobile content ecology is also fully stimulating its users’ commercial value. Judging from its performance, Baidu’s good days may have just begun.

"The people in Xinjiang are as beautiful as the milk tea here" —— Sidenotes on the visit of diplomatic envoys to Xinjiang

Cctv newsRecently, at the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, diplomatic envoys from 25 countries completed a five-day visit to Xinjiang. During this visit, many envoys came to Xinjiang for the first time. Zhang Bifen, Suriname’s ambassador to China, said that when she looked down at this yellow-green land from the plane, she began to look forward to seeing the development of Xinjiang.

On July 31, members of the delegation selected medicinal tea in the ancient city of Kashgar.

The urban and rural drinking water project in Jiashi County has guaranteed safe water use for 460,000 people. In this regard, Nicaraguan Ambassador to China Michael Rene Campbell Oak said that one of the most important achievements in poverty eradication is to provide people with safe drinking water, so he was deeply impressed by visiting such drinking water projects in Xinjiang. When he saw the development of local characteristic industries represented by Jiashi Xinmei, he affirmed the modernization of agriculture in China and saw the creativity of all ethnic groups contributing to modernization.

Martin Charles, Dominica’s ambassador to China, said in an interview that he did not see the so-called "forced labor" in Xinjiang. In Jiayi Village, Xinhe County, the envoys entered the farmers’ professional cooperative of folk handmade musical instruments and exchanged the inheritance of musical instrument making skills with local non-genetic inheritors. After watching the Twelve Muqams in Kuqa, he reiterated that the people in Xinjiang are happy. "I believe all the delegates enjoyed this performance, and this performance is an expression of the happiness of the people in Xinjiang."

On August 2, members of the delegation visited the training base of the pilot project of agricultural high-efficiency water saving and income increase in Shaya County.

In Shaya County, the envoys also personally visited the local intelligent agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprises and the training base of the agricultural high-efficiency water-saving and income-increasing pilot project. Bachtiar, Iranian ambassador to China, said that in Xinjiang, he saw that mechanical equipment such as cotton harvesters played a great role in the production of cotton products, and he hoped that in the near future, he could cooperate in economy and culture. Ecuador Dolbecer, Counsellor of Mexican Embassy in China, also said that he hopes to establish contact with the great drone companies here and carry out more agricultural cooperation with China.

In Xinjiang Museum, the envoys saw cultural relics such as ceramics, textiles and historical documents. Erica Rizaldo, Minister Counsellor of the Peruvian Embassy in China, said that she felt that China, like her hometown, is a big country with many nationalities and cultures. She saw that China was trying to protect the ubiquitous culture here. When they experienced the traditional cuisine of Xinjiang in the international bazaar, she praised the people of Xinjiang as beautiful as the milk tea here.

On August 3rd, the Dean of the Islamic Academy introduced the curriculum for the members of the delegation.

Luis Sana, First Secretary of the Colombian Embassy in China, came to Xinjiang for the second time. He said that compared with his last visit to Xinjiang, he saw that the living standards of the people in Xinjiang had improved, which was very important. He gained a lot from his visit to Xinjiang this time, and he recognized China’s work in Xinjiang in recent years.

During the visit, the envoys also visited the ancient city of Kashgar, Aitigar Mosque, Pankou City, Kashgar Comprehensive Bonded Zone, Kizil Grottoes, Islamic Academy, Urumqi International Land Port Area and the "Theme Exhibition of Anti-terrorism and Depolarization Struggle in Xinjiang".

Ambassadors interviewed have said that they welcome more people to enter Xinjiang. "China is a very warm country, and Xinjiang is also a very warm place here. I will recommend them to come to Xinjiang.".

Why do more game UP owners start to settle in watermelon videos?

Every game video creator has his own reason to start making videos, and most of these stories go back to when they have not been noticed. WindGrin likes indie games very much, but he is worried that there are not many people around him to communicate with, so he started video creation and discovered the joy of Amway games.

Another creator, China Boy, who fell asleep in WindGrin’s bed, started his production journey when he was playing computer games with his friends. Because he was pushed to the back and couldn’t play it himself, he could only record other people’s playing process with his classmate’s mobile phone in the back, during which he found that he liked and was good at making video content.

Unlike this kind of story of "realizing what he is good at", the original intention of Director Ao’s video is to attract the attention of girls who like it. Although he soon found that the girls did not watch it at all, it was useless, but the video was made today.

The above stories are all from the self-reports of these UP owners in the watermelon video "Feel at Home" column. In the past six months, 17 head video creators (Director Ao, China BOY, Black Escort, Marco, Mango Bing, 0+7, Xiaoxiao, Exhaustion, Vacation Jun, Lao E, Yun Xinghe, Dean Xiaochao, Jing Junming, Ze Ye Mantis, Xiao Keer, Director Yang, and A Passerby) have chosen to settle in watermelon videos and set up exclusive columns. Many creators are in 《

Many familiar faces came to watermelon.

What is people’s general impression of watermelon videos? Here, you can learn to cook a braised carp with "gourmet writer Wang Gang", or you can watch the Huanong Brothers cook country food with local materials. Besides the massive jokes and entertainment, you can also listen to Li Yongle’s explanation of Fermi Paradox in a relatively popular way. On the homepage of watermelon videos, from the issues concerning agriculture, countryside and farmers to urban life, these videos show all aspects of people’s lives: daily necessities of life, the latest trends of celebrities, the record of working and working mood, and the experience of popular science learning …

Many people may still remember the "wide oil" in Wang Gang’s cooking tutorial.

The rural life shown in the video of Huanong Brothers often becomes a hot topic on the Internet.

This is also the general impression of watermelon video: as a comprehensive video website transformed from headline video, the game category is not particularly prominent in watermelon video.

On June 8, 2017, the headline video was officially upgraded to a watermelon video. Although it is still a fairly young content platform, it has accumulated a lot of users. In June 2019, the number of users of watermelon video has exceeded 300 million. Under the huge volume, the proportion of game videos is not high. Therefore, when talking about game videos and game video creators, some players may not think of watermelon videos first.

Although this view is not wrong, it also underestimates the influence of the watermelon video game section: up to now, the average daily broadcast volume of the watermelon video game section has exceeded 200 million, and the more influential game videos often have millions or even tens of millions of broadcasts, which is not inferior to other game videos or live broadcast websites.

In recent years, people are very keen to watch the video and live broadcast of popular games. The game section of watermelon video has attracted many content creators and accumulated a large number of users. The game area of watermelon video has bred several video writers with tens of millions of fans, such as Lao Tearing Chicken, Chen Dabai and Sniper Mike, and their videos often have millions of plays.

Compared with other game video websites, in the past, the game section of watermelon video also had the characteristics of "popularization". Open the game section of Watermelon Video, and you will see different types of game pushes (if you have logged in, these pushes will be customized according to your preferences). From the perspective of broadcast volume, the broadcast volume of popular game content such as "Eat Chicken", MOBA mobile games or "My World" and "The Fifth Personality" is significantly higher. This is also a feature of the watermelon video game section. The content of popular games will often get more attention. The video creators of the watermelon videos mentioned above are also popular games such as "Eat Chicken" and MOBA.

In the field of popular games, watermelon videos have cultivated many popular authors who pay attention to tens of millions of levels.

Compared with popular game videos, the amount of single-player and host game videos on watermelon videos is relatively small. Many other game video platforms also have similar phenomena-for most video platforms, a few popular games have always been the main force supporting users’ consumption. This situation is determined by the number of players, and the content creation of stand-alone and console games is relatively scattered, and their communication effect is often not as good as that of popular games with strong social interaction.

However, this situation has changed recently. In the recent push of watermelon video, there have been more stand-alone and host video content. And such changes are likely to continue to happen.

The push status of video websites is a reflection of players’ concerns. Looking at the development of the domestic game market in recent years, although popular games are still in an absolute advantage in the number of players, the trend of stand-alone and console games on the rise can not be ignored. For platforms such as Watermelon Video, this trend means new opportunities. They can enrich their own content according to market changes and make their own ecology more complete.

The domestic game industry has experienced abnormal development for quite a long time. The ban on game consoles has brought the prosperity of PC games, and the prosperity of PC games is concentrated on online games. Due to the difference in income level and consumption concept, the market performance of stand-alone and console games has always lagged behind in China. After a slight decline in the end-game era, multiplayer mobile games have become a new craze.

However, in recent years, with the lifting of the ban on game consoles and the development of many PC digital game stores, the awareness of stand-alone and console games among mass players has been increasing, and domestic manufacturers have begun to launch their own game platforms. In terms of video and live broadcast platforms, the impact of this change is that the amount of single-player and host games has increased in recent years.

As mentioned above, there are a large number of users of watermelon video, and the traffic in the station is considerable. In the game section, these traffic are especially concentrated in popular categories such as "eat chicken" and MOBA. This means that it is difficult for them to seek high-speed or substantial data growth in this aspect, and at the same time, this "partial subject" status quo is not conducive to the construction of more meta-ecology. Therefore, in order to seek more new opportunities and provide more content from different angles, watermelon video needs to start with more potential content-stand-alone and host content just meet the needs.

Of course, all this can’t be done overnight. Despite the huge potential users, the attempt of watermelon video still faces some challenges.

First of all, competitors in the watermelon video game section have accumulated many users. In the early development, these websites often focus on the characteristics of one or several target player groups and optimize the arrangement and coverage of related content. For users who are used to watching these contents on other websites, why go to Watermelon Video has become a problem.

Secondly, watermelon video is a comprehensive video website, which will not make people think of ACG at the first time when they talk about watermelon. In a sense, this may lead to a prejudice: players who don’t know it may think that watermelon video doesn’t seem to have much important game content output, and they won’t look for specific content in it.

In the final analysis, video websites provide video content, and the content is always created by video producers. No matter what people’s previous habits and their impressions of something, it is important to pay attention to the future and provide more viewers with what they want to see.

For a platform, good content creators are extremely valuable, and they bring target users to the platform through high-quality content. Watermelon video, which wants to attract more users related to stand-alone and console games, naturally needs content creators in this field. At the same time, this is not a unilateral demand of watermelon video platform. In fact, any platform and content creators are mutually beneficial and symbiotic. Platforms need creators, and creators also need platforms. What the platform needs to give video creators is a reason, a reason why they come to this platform, or even a reason to provide exclusive content for a platform.

When talking about his own creation, Director Ao thinks that "the previous video feeling has taken shape, and there is not much room for improvement", and coming to Watermelon Video also wants to "take a brand-new challenge, create a new video series, and do what he wants to do". During the one-year visit to Watermelon Video, Director Ao has released 371 videos and accumulated more than 2 million fans.

One year after entering Watermelon Video, Director Ao has more than 2 million fans.

Creators such as Director Ao have already had a high reputation before, and they have achieved good development in watermelon videos. After Director Ao settled in Watermelon Video, he endorsed the "Dreamer Plan" of Watermelon Video. Compared with attracting famous creators, this plan encourages newcomers to create on watermelon videos. The plan claims that the creators of game videos will be evaluated not on the basis of broadcast volume, but on the basis of content quality. Creators with excellent quality can enjoy the rewards of signing contracts, doubling traffic or doubling revenue.

The same support project for newcomers is "Watermelon University", which provides a detailed guide for newcomers from the technical level to the content level. In addition, newcomers will also get the docking and guidance of the operation specialist and get more help in video creation.

According to the introduction of watermelon video, the "Game Dreamer" program aims to select and support potential new authors and provide them with traffic support and professional training programs. At present, this activity has been held for three seasons.

There are many authors in the game field in Watermelon University to share their experiences. Besides, there are many tutorials and help on video production.

The creation of video is indispensable to the support of tools. Not long ago, Lao Tear Chicken uploaded a live video of Watching Pioneer with 4K quality on his own channel. Some viewers lamented 4k@60 frames in the barrage, which greatly improved the viewing effect. On the second day after the video was released, Watermelon Video announced that it supports video uploading with 4K resolution, 120fps frame rate and 320kbps audio rate for free, hoping that better image quality can help UP owners improve their fans’ stickiness or attract new fans. At the same time, Watermelon also launched a watermelon creation platform for creators, which provides the functions of viewing data summary, traffic tracking, fan portraits and other information, providing more efficient creative support for content creators.

At present, most mainstream stand-alone and console games have supported 4K, and this audio and video upgrade of Watermelon allows video viewers to enjoy the audition experience similar to that of UP owners.

When ordinary people want to try video creation and even develop it into their own career, they are often scared off by the high cost and threshold of creation. Watermelon video helps some UP owners to smooth this threshold by providing revenue methods such as platform sharing, e-commerce realization, live broadcast realization, content payment and advertiser list. At present, the old tearing chicken with 17.1 million fans was just a security guard when he first came into contact with video creation. When the enthusiasm was rewarded accordingly, Lao Tear Chicken finally developed his hobby into a career.

It is worth mentioning that at the moment when the creator’s income is linked to the flow, the huge flow of watermelon video can provide a good return for content creators. At the same time, watermelon videos often launch different incentive plans to encourage content creation. For example, in June, Watermelon Video announced the "Movable Type Plan", announcing that it would provide 100 million yuan in cash and 100 million yuan in traffic to support graphic writers to create video content.

For watermelon video, this is a virtuous circle: attracting video creators through its own mechanism, attracting and retaining viewers through the high-quality output of video creators, and increasing the number of users and its own income through the increasing audience.

In the past, compared with popular games, the content of stand-alone and host games of watermelon video received less attention, but this situation has changed with the arrival of more stand-alone and host UP owners in recent six months, and the video content of stand-alone and host games is expected to become a new growth point of watermelon video game section. For watermelon video, this change will also make the content of the game section more balanced and diverse, and can provide more users with more interesting content.

More specifically, the uniqueness of Watermelon Video lies in that it is a more popular video website and adopts a customized push mode. This means that the game content appearing on the watermelon video will be pushed to more potential users more accurately. These users may not even be gamers, but they are actually interested in the game.

No matter what industry you do, the most difficult thing is to break through the circle. In this sense, it is more important to let more people who don’t play games know about games than to let people who like games see the videos they want to watch-which is beneficial to the whole industry.

At the same time, if watermelon video becomes more attractive in stand-alone and stand-alone video, the creators of game video also have more choices. In order to attract more content creators, major video websites also need to provide more reasonable returns, broader development space and better experience. For many video producers, how to produce excellent content continuously and stably and how to attract more attention are always problems, and a good platform will help a lot.

Director Lin Chaoxian, who has filmed many police and gangster films, expressed his admiration and worship for the sacred profession of police, and Zhang Jiahui, who had been a police officer for four years, felt more cordial. Although he has been away from the police force for many years, Zhang Jiahui is proud to be able to create a variety of police images in the film. In addition, Chan also shared that in order to better perform undercover police officers, he consulted a large number of anti-drug police information and drug cases, and lost weight in order to be closer to reality. At the same time, many students shared their viewing experiences, especially impressed by the police images portrayed by the actors in the film: "I haven’t seen such a movie for many years. The two anti-drug police portrayed by Jiahui Ge and Chan Weiting made me feel very immersed, which strengthened my determination to become a people’s police officer in the future!"

"Burst Point" Wuhan Roadshow Enters Campus "Movie Makes Me a Police Officer"  


On December 3, the national roadshow of the movie "Burst Point" continued all the way, and the third stop went to Wuhan. Director Lin Chaoxian first shared the differences between "Burst Point" and his previous films: "This movie is an upgrade of my previous films, which is more cool, more burning and more enjoyable. All our creators worked hard for it." Chan Weiting shared that he searched the Internet every day for audience comments on "Burst Point". Many people said that Jiang Ming was the worst undercover in history, and Chan Weiting also laughed: "It was miserable to the extent of a third-level film! During the shooting process, I felt that I was challenging the eighteen layers of hell, and it was getting harder and harder to fight down layer by layer." Several actors also revealed the secret at the scene. There was basically no NG for filming "Burst Point", and every shooting required perfect cooperation and countless rehearsals. The hot scenes everyone saw on the screen were really fried and really fought, and every actor was afraid that there would be no chance to shoot the second one: "The" Burst Point "everyone saw today was formed after hundreds of rehearsals behind our backs."

"Bursting Point" also went to the Wuhan Police Vocational College. After the film, the main creators met with more than 100 students present. Many students who want to become people’s police officers in the future said: "The film has made me more determined to become a police officer and firmly believe in protecting the safety of the people." Zhang Jiahui, who has been a police officer for four years, first said excitedly: "Seeing that everyone is very kind, I want to say to every police officer, thank you for protecting the safety of ordinary people." A criminal investigation student shared: "The average number of anti-drug police sacrifices 362 a year. The average age of China’s anti-drug police is still 41 years old. They silently sacrifice their lives in places we can’t see." Bursting Point "allows more people to understand the difficulties and mission of the anti-drug police. Zhang Jiahui is very touched and calls on the whole society to say no to drugs! After watching the movie, many viewers thought that Chan’s undercover role was vivid and real. Chan Weiting said: "Before playing the undercover role, I checked a lot of information. Before filming, I was 76kg, and I found that it was very different from the real undercover, so I tried my best to lose weight for this role. I hope our film can let more people see how difficult it is to see the police." Regarding the role of Liang Luoshi’s desperate mother, a student of the Department of Justice Administration shared: "There is a new type of drug in the film.

World Hepatitis Day | There are about 90 million hepatitis B patients in China.

  Cctv newsToday is World Hepatitis Day, and the theme of this year’s World Health Organization is "Detection and Treatment of Hepatitis". It is estimated that there are about 90 million hepatitis B virus carriers in China, of which about 28 million are chronic hepatitis B patients. Among patients with liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, hepatitis B infection is as high as 60% and 80% respectively.

  National Health Commission released the knowledge points of viral hepatitis prevention and treatment yesterday. Key points: Targeted suggestions and information are put forward for the prevention and treatment of hepatitis A, B, C, D and E, so as to enhance the awareness of prevention and treatment of the public and key groups and enhance their self-protection ability.

  Eliminate the misunderstanding of hepatitis B and avoid infection in daily life.

  The main points of knowledge introduce the types of viral hepatitis, the characteristics, transmission routes and preventive measures of each type of hepatitis. The clinical manifestations of various types of viral hepatitis are similar, with fatigue, loss of appetite, hepatomegaly and abnormal liver function in the acute stage, and jaundice in some cases; Chronic infected people may have mild symptoms or even no clinical symptoms.

  How do different hepatitis spread?

  Hepatitis A and Hepatitis E are transmitted through digestive tract.Pollution of water source or food can cause outbreaks, and paying attention to diet and drinking water hygiene can effectively prevent hepatitis A and hepatitis E..

  Hepatitis B and C are transmitted through blood, mother to child and sex.The transmission route of hepatitis D is similar to that of hepatitis B, and it can only be infected at the same time or on the basis of hepatitis B virus infection.Hepatitis B will not be transmitted through food, and daily work or life contact, such as shaking hands, hugging and eating together, will not spread hepatitis B.

  All patients with viral hepatitis should avoid alcohol abuse, smoking, irrational drug use and other behaviors that aggravate liver damage.People with suspected symptoms of viral hepatitis or susceptible to infection should take the initiative to check in medical institutions. Patients with viral hepatitis should follow the doctor’s advice, carry out standardized treatment, and avoid taking drugs on their own or trusting false advertisements.

  Can you still work and live normally with hepatitis?

  The main points of knowledge put forward that efforts should be made to eliminate social discrimination against hepatitis B infected people. China clearly requires that,All kinds of educational institutions and employers at all levels are not required to carry out hepatitis B project testing in the physical examination of citizens’ enrollment and employment., shall not be required to provide hepatitis B project test report, and shall not ask whether it is a carrier of hepatitis B surface antigen.

  In addition to the special occupations approved and announced by the National Health and Wellness Committee,The health examination shall not detect hepatitis B items unless required by the examinee, and the employing unit shall not refuse to recruit (employ) or dismiss or dismiss workers on the grounds that they carry hepatitis B surface antigen.. Moreover, hepatitis B is not among the diseases that hinder food safety, and hepatitis B carriers can obtain health certificates and work in contact with directly imported food. Persons suffering from hepatitis A and hepatitis E shall not engage in the work of directly serving customers before being cured.

  The cure rate of hepatitis B is improved, and mother-to-child blocking is basically realized.

  With the development of medicine, hepatitis B has been a disease that can be treated and controlled. The viral load can be controlled through antiviral treatment, which greatly reduces the occurrence of cirrhosis and liver cancer. The latest research shows that some patients can achieve a clinical cure rate of 30% to 50% by adopting optimized treatment schemes.

  Mother-to-child transmission is the main mode of transmission of hepatitis B virus in China, and it is also one of the main challenges faced by hepatitis B prevention and control. About 50% of hepatitis B patients in China are caused by mother-to-child transmission, and more than 90% of adult cirrhosis and liver cancer are infected with hepatitis B virus in infancy. At present, the "zero transmission" project of mother-to-child hepatitis B is promoted nationwide, and pregnant women with high hepatitis B virus level are intervened with antiviral drugs in the third trimester. According to the project experience, the expert consensus of "Clinical Management Process of Mother-to-child Blocking of Hepatitis B" will be promoted nationwide.

  Yang Xizhong, Executive Vice President and Secretary General of China Hepatitis Prevention and Treatment Foundation:At present, more than 15 thousand cases have been done, and the number of doctors (in the field of mother-to-child blocking) has reached 1.5 thousand, and more than 130 hospitals are carrying out it, which has achieved good results. At present, the mother-to-child blocking rate is 99.3%, basically achieving zero transmission.

  "Invisible Killer" Hepatitis C can be cured early.

  In addition to the familiar hepatitis B, hepatitis C is also a common and neglected chronic hepatitis in China. The data show that there are about 71 million people infected with hepatitis C virus in the world, about 7.9 million cases infected with hepatitis C virus in China, and about 200,000 cases infected with hepatitis C reported in the national epidemic situation of legal infectious diseases in recent five years. Like hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C infection is also one of the main causes of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.

  The incidence of chronic hepatitis C is very hidden and the symptoms are not obvious, so the diagnosis rate is low. Most patients with chronic hepatitis C have developed into the late stage of chronic hepatitis C at the time of diagnosis, so they are called "invisible killers". Different from hepatitis B, if only hepatitis B surface antigen is positive, transaminase is normal, and liver lesions are mild, it can be temporarily left untreated, but hepatitis C is just the opposite. Once infected, its damage to the liver will continue. Therefore, high-risk groups with a history of unsafe blood contact should be tested for hepatitis C in time.

  Wang Guiqiang, Chairman of Infectious Diseases Branch of Chinese Medical Association.Some iatrogenic invasive tests, such as repairing and filling teeth in irregular medical institutions and doing some micro-plastic surgery, may be the transmission route of hepatitis C, so I hope such people can go to the hospital for screening.

  It is not difficult to detect hepatitis C. We can judge whether we are infected with hepatitis C virus by detecting hepatitis C virus antibody and hepatitis C virus RNA in blood. Hepatitis C is also different from hepatitis B in that it is a treatable viral disease. At present, the cure rate of hepatitis C can reach more than 90%, and the clinical cure can even reach 100% if treated early.

[Cherry Blossoms Open Again —— Reviving Hubei after the Epidemic] Revitalize the trial operation of the water "expressway" in the Yangtze River Economic Belt

  Cctv news(Reporter Tang Shiying, Wang Xiaoying, Luo Chuan) On March 30th, the national online media Hubei Tour came to the site of "Regulation Project of 6-meter-deep Waterway in Wuhan-Anqing Section of Yangtze River Trunk Line" in Ezhou City. Li Ping, executive deputy manager of the II Project Department of Wu ‘an Section of Yangtze River Trunk Line, introduced that on March 26th this year, the regulation project of 6-meter-deep Waterway in Wuhan-Anqing Section of Yangtze River Trunk Line (referred to as Wu ‘an Section Project) was fully completed and put into trial operation.

  This means that 10,000-ton river-sea ships can reach Wuhan all the year round, forming a "water expressway" that "runs smoothly in Hubei, Jiangxi and Anhui, and reaches Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai" to revitalize the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

  In 2014, the Hubei Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government submitted a request to the Ministry of Transport for the construction of the "6-meter-deep waterway from Anqing to Wuhan and 4.5-meter-deep waterway from Wuhan to Yichang" (referred to as the "645" project). In March 2016, the "645 Project" was included in the National Outline of the Yangtze River Economic Belt Development Plan and the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" of the Ministry of Transport.

  In October 2018, Wu ‘an Section, one of the main projects of the "645 Project", started construction. The waterway regulation project of Wu ‘an section of the Yangtze River trunk line spans Hubei, Jiangxi and Anhui provinces, with a total length of 386.5 kilometers, starting from Tianxingzhou Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and ending at Anhui Anqing, Anhui Province, and systematically regulating seven navigation-blocking beach sections such as Luohuzhou and Daijiazhou.

  Before the regulation, some waterways were winding and shallow, which was the "intestinal obstruction" that restricted the capacity of the Yangtze River trunk line. The implementation of waterway regulation will effectively solve the outstanding problem of "deep at both ends and shallow in the middle" of the Yangtze River trunk channel, and form a super-large "water expressway" linking the four provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and Anhui in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, which will greatly promote the construction of the shipping center in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in Wuhan, and the navigation capacity of the Yangtze River trunk channel will also achieve an overall leap, thus promoting the upgrading of the comprehensive transportation system along the Yangtze River.

  Li Ping introduced that a total of 15.4 kilometers of ecological revetment, 1.46 million square meters of ecological beach consolidation and 3 ecological conservation areas were built in Wu ‘an section.

  In this waterway regulation, more than 6 million fry were released by adhering to the principle of "ecological priority and green development", forming a complete set of green waterway construction technology, and comprehensively utilizing the dredged soil of the waterway to support the construction of major projects along the Yangtze River, including providing 1.19 million cubic meters of dredged soil for Ezhou Huahu Airport. The project also pioneered real-time monitoring technology to dynamically monitor the sinking and drainage construction, which filled the gap in China.
