Ending of Love Happens in Three Days: Exploring the Nature of Love and Arousing the Audience’s Hot Debate

On September 3rd, it was produced by Shichuang Film Co., Ltd., jointly produced by Shichuang Film Co., Ltd. and eight major TVs. Shanghai Enqiaoyi Film and Television Media Co., Ltd. was in charge of copyright distribution, directed by Golden Bell Award director Feng Kai, written by Golden Bell Award writer Mag Hsu as screenwriter consultant, starring Liu Guanting and Chen Tingni, and starring Shi Mingshuai, Meng Gengru, Lin Zhexi, Xie Peien, Yuan Aifei and Chen Yuan, the urban realistic emotional drama "Love Happened in Three Days" ushered in the end of its membership. Wang Yan and Ning Youzhu finally chose to follow their inner bold love. The whole play ended with the sweet hand-in-hand and generous sugar sprinkling in their concert, and the audience called "too sweet". The details of the two people getting along all the way are full, which also triggered the audience’s new thinking about love.

Since the broadcast of the play, the popularity has increased step by step. Delicate and grounded plot setting and realistic related plot topics have repeatedly triggered heated discussions among audiences on both sides of the strait. "Love Happens Three Days Later" reached the highest popularity of 13139 in Tencent Station, the highest ranking of Tencent’s online drama was 6 th, the highest ranking of Tencent’s online drama was 8 th, ranking in the top 10 of the two lists for two weeks in a row, and # Love Happens Three Days Later # landed in Weibo’s hot search list 16 th. Broadcasting in Taiwan, China still achieved gratifying results, ranking TOP3 in Netflix taiwanese drama list for 14 consecutive days. Female audience aged 15-44 won the championship of Chinese drama on Saturday night with the highest rating of 0.69, and the broadcast period was 60 consecutive days, ranking top 10 in YAHOO drama album’s word-of-mouth list.

There is no standard answer to the exploration of the essence of love under banter, but only follow the heart

The TV series "Love Happens in Three Days" is based on brisk healing, mainly focusing on the emotional story between Wang Yan and Ning Youzhu. Under the seemingly playful story shell, it shows the whole process of two people who like each other but misunderstand each other because of different ways of thinking between men and women, the inner fluctuation when they meet again, and the constant pulling between themselves and reality. It is as real as everyone who has been confused and struggled in love, which makes the audience feel the same way, thus causing everyone to think more deeply about love.

The setting of the beginning and end of the series is very clever. After being confessed at the same concert scene eight years ago, Ning Youzhu responded in the way of Wang Yan: "I will tell you the answer in three days." However, the subtle changes in their hearts have ushered in two completely different choices. The whole drama takes the feelings of Wang Yan and Ning Youzhu as clues, takes the audience to explore the essence of love from the outside to the inside, and faces the thinking differences between men and women in love. At the same time, let the audience know that there is no standard answer to love. What matters is whether you are honest with your heart at this moment.

Create works with strength and temperature with your heart. The core of the true story attracts strong resonance from audiences on both sides of the strait.

As an emotional drama, Love Happened Three Days Later depicts modern love in a delicate and real way. At the same time, through the in-depth excavation of the characters, it naturally links up related topics such as family ties and friendship, which brings more touches and thoughts to contemporary people. The rain culvert that bravely said no to domestic violence in the play made the audience remember it particularly deeply. She is always trying to be an excellent girl in her mother’s eyes, but her obedience does not make her happy, but in return, it is the torture of reality and her husband’s punching and kicking. By exploring the story behind Yu Han’s unfortunate experience, the play extends the discussion of parents’ "obedience theory" education mode, which arouses strong resonance among the audience. The story clip has been played over 30 million times on the short video platform, and many netizens have left messages saying: "Mom taught her many things, but she didn’t teach her how to love and protect herself."

In addition, the play adopts a multi-line mode, with two protagonists connecting the life stories of other characters in series. As close friends of Wang Yan and Ning Youzhu University up to now, the Nine Suns are definitely the strongest assists in their feelings. From the difficult person pretending to be close to Ning Youzhu in order to stimulate Wang Yan’s confession, to creating various opportunities for them to meet and get along with each other eight years later, they create a youthful life picture through various details, which reflects the flow and temperature of feelings between people everywhere, and truly witnesses the deep friendship that the Nine Suns have walked all the way from campus.

Love Happens Three Days Later turns many topics such as "fairy friendship", "family of origin", "parents’ education" and "bravely saying no to domestic violence" into vivid and concrete storylines. The characters are vivid and fascinating, which conveys the positive energy of warmth and healing, and has won the praise of audiences on both sides of the strait. Many viewers sighed while chasing the drama: "Taiwanese dramas have really deepened in recent years, which is quite painful." "Many intimate relationships are re-enactments of family of origin, and I saw my own shadow in the drama. This is the love of adults."

"Only a good story can move people’s hearts", "Love Happens in Three Days" is undoubtedly the beginning of another new attempt by Shanghai Enjoyi Film and Television Media Co., Ltd. What new works will they bring later? We will wait and see.

How to make the emotional value of products in the new consumption field?

Wen | Xiao Meng in the consumer sector

guide reading

Maybe you don’t realize that when you buy a product, emotional value often dominates your choice.

POP MART put the same doll in a blind box, and the price nearly doubled, but countless consumers still paid for it. The sense of game, excitement and unknown in the process of unpacking the blind box allows you to place an order decisively.

And in the addiction with gambling, let you establish a deep link with the IP of the blind box.

In the above, you have already felt the value of emotional mobilization. Let’s talk about emotions first.

Li Jiaqi, Viya and other head anchors are all good at emotional mobilization. When Li Jiaqi shouted out "Pig Girl" and "Lady Sister", it was a moment when countless girls were willing to cut their hands. As soon as Viya’s voice "Link on 1, 2 and 3" fell, consumers who rushed to the front had already snapped up all the products.

Emotion has greatly influenced our decision-making in many cases. The value of all the "Yeqing Hui" and "commemorative money" exceeds itself, and the "nostalgia" emotion contained in it is the reason for consumers to pay the bill. Combining their own experiences with products has given birth to the consumption behavior of emotional value.

Apart from the basic functional value, the value of a product is emotional value, so the issues of product appreciation and depreciation are not discussed here. Functional value to the ceiling, need to have a technical level far beyond peers, which most consumer goods can’t do. Therefore, it is the best choice to work hard on emotional value and extend the life cycle of products.

For example, Xiaomi’s cost performance, Li Ning’s national pride, and Tesla’s innovative geek are all cases that make people’s emotional value to the extreme. People carry emotions, and brands are containers for creating emotional value, so that this emotion can be passed on to everyone, so that products are not just products.

The difference between the so-called shanzhai and genuine products lies in the "brand". Many people don’t care so much about the "price", but care more about the experience of buying products. As a carrier of emotions, people can’t erase the experience of the world. The emotions generated by the experience are the content that merchants are constantly studying. Knowing the Z generation can only harvest the Z generation, or it is extreme. When you want to sell the comb to monks, you must first understand the monks’ psychology.

Supply chain dividends, social e-commerce, making products in today’s consumption scene, emotional value is an unavoidable topic. Profitability depends on brand premium, and products need emotional value to enable consumers to form purchase and repurchase, so how to make emotional value of products?

In order to do a good job in emotional value of consumer goods, we must first be able to subvert the original thinking. Making instant coffee for three and a half meals subverts the thinking of Nestle and Maxwell. In the past, instant coffee ranked at the bottom of the coffee contempt chain, so manufacturers naturally stuffed it into plastic packaging, and everything seemed less particular.

Pay attention to it in three and a half meals. It is precisely because of "paying attention" that it surpassed Nestle in the double eleven and three and a half meals in 2019 and became the first in the global sales of Tmall coffee brands. This good performance is made by virtue of the emotional value of the products.

Three and a half meals of coffee also means opening a blind box. Among the six basic flavors, there is a "0" hidden coffee. Perhaps the taste of the "0" hidden coffee is not as good as imagined, but the feeling of drawing a hidden coffee is the same as the expectation before unpacking the courier, and the joy of winning the lottery is the same.

In the past, this kind of gameplay was limited to offline handmade cafes. Now this form has been moved to the field of instant coffee. Migratory micro-innovation often brings subversive changes. The verified offline model is changed again, and consumers still pay the bill.

The "stress" of three and a half meals not only comes from making surprises, but also from product design. The face value of three and a half meals makes it collectible, with different colors, different tastes and small and pocket-sized shapes, which makes the experience of drinking instant coffee quickly upgrade to Starbucks-like style. Taking photos while drinking coffee in Starbucks takes advantage of the emotional value that its scene value brings people satisfaction.

After drinking three and a half meals, the emotional value comes from the empty cups left behind after drinking, which are like ticket stubs for recording a movie. These beautiful cups are worth taking photos and making friends, because the high value of three and a half meals makes them have the attributes of online celebrity. Taking photos and punching in is like getting close to the fashionable lifestyle, which shows your own taste and style.

At the same time, Sandun and a half also actively responded to environmental awareness, and launched the "Return Plan" twice, calling on users to send the used cups to the designated recycling point, so that they can exchange them for new coffee or small gifts. The significance of this activity lies in the idea of "Return". When "Recovery" becomes "Return", there is a sense that Cui Hua becomes Lisa.

Three and a half meals said: our empty cups are scattered all over the planet. You take them back, just like a fleet cruising in space returning.

In the process of users participating in activities, both the sense of participation and the sense of value have been achieved.

The beauty collection shop speaks plum, which is to make emotional value from the perspective of immersive scenes. There are many beauty shops, and the decoration of Huamei’s stores is a unique industrial style. As long as you have been there once, you will always remember it.

At present, there are only eight stores in the country, and the single store valuation has reached 1 billion. The unique sample sales experience and the immersive consumption experience of punching cards in online celebrity have attracted a steady stream of young people. Its attraction to young people is its growth, which means that it may become a more fashionable way of buying.

As soon as Huamei’s store entered, there was a ring-shaped counter, and the countertop was divided into small compartments with the same area. The samples of major brands were placed in different categories for sale, which was very suitable for taking photos and punching cards. At the same time, the decoration style dominated by black, white and gray, with primary color brick walls and cement spiral stairs, was in line with the theme of industrial style.

On the second floor of Huamei, there are five small rooms with different styles, such as travel skin care, perfume fragrance, minority brand, art exhibition and makeup area, which allow girls to explore, record and feel in the world of beauty. The resulting consumption is brought about by emotional value.

Huamei also has an innovation that subverts the original idea. Its display is different from other beauty shops, and it is more like a live version of Haitao experience. A large number of cosmetics are on the shelves, or piled up like mountains, or neatly arranged, and there is a sense of satisfaction. And it can let consumers experience a series of processes such as product sorting and delivery, new retail logistics chain and so on.

Idol has become a kind of product, and the production of idol has a mature industrial chain. In a sense, idol has been separated from the words "entertainment circle" and "music circle" and directly linked to "entertainment circle", because "idol" itself means that the product is not a work, but an idol.

The operation of mass production of idols is no stranger in the Korean entertainment circle. SM and JYP have mastered the link of idol production, and the wave of draft in China after 2015 is to imitate the star-making industry in South Korea and hand over the decision of "idol" finished products to the audience.

The idols voted by the audience have "personal designs" that meet their standards. With idols as the carrier, they provide the audience with the personality they agree with and yearn for. Ccalling for Aidou has become a way for fans to link with idols. The shining point of idols gives fans reasons to support them, all kinds.Hit listBrush tickets emerge in an endless stream.

Why is the idol industry the most typical emotional value industry? Because fans are willing to spend money for idols, this kind of consumption behavior has brought the emotional value of idol products to the highest level, and at the same time, it has boosted the sales volume of products and the sound volume of brands.

The emotional value of idols is like an information diffuser for brands.

The epidemic situation has more or less affected the major offline consumer goods stores. In order to cope with the changes caused by the epidemic situation, we have been focusing on offline famous and excellent products to bring goods online, and adjusted the types of single product sales, and learned from Pinduoduo’s strategy to accelerate the sinking of famous and excellent products and accelerate the speed of joining and opening stores in third-and fourth-tier cities.

In order to make the famous and excellent products enter the new generation faster, the famous and excellent products that have always said that they will not invite celebrities to endorse have favored YiBo and Zifeng Zhang as spokespersons. Idol celebrity endorsement is like a button linking famous and excellent products with consumers. Idol is its platform, which expands the dissemination of information and enlarges the original strategic adjustment results.

After inviting spokespersons and accelerating online development, the online growth of famous and excellent products exceeded 300%.

If we have a clear definition of the idol’s personality, we can find products that are in line with the idol’s personality. Endorsement is a two-way pulling process. Idol industry gains income, consumer goods brands grow, and idols spread the information that enterprises want to convey.

Taking idols as products, the biggest risk lies in "instability". The birth of virtual idols is to solve the losses caused by the instability of idols to the industry, but the charm of idols also comes from the versatility of people’s personality, and the stickiness of virtual idols in terms of resilience is not enough to replace the real idols themselves.

Compared with the idol industry, it will be easier for consumer goods to do emotional value. The popular concept of empowerment in recent years is to make products stand out in homogenization, get the reasons for being selected by consumers, and get the product premium.

The IP of products makes them tell stories, which is essentially the personification of products and makes them have emotional value.

This logic of emotional value is not only derived from consumer goods to idol products, but also wildly quoted by various Internet manufacturers.

As personification can please consumers, emotional value has become the first choice of crisis public relations. For example, during the epidemic, nailing became a tool for online classes, and therefore suffered the fear of being dominated by primary school students. Thousands of primary school students joined forces to give nailing a star.

It’s no good to be hard on the front, so I decided to take a step back and send DIY pictures in Weibo to let go. All the software of Ali family jointly highlighted the design of the wronged baby, and then I decided to upload all kinds of funny videos in bilibili to beg for mercy, so that the angry netizens could have fun together and put a nail on the horse instead.

As well as the Oolong incident in which Tencent was accused of defaulting on Laoganma’s advertising fee, it was originally very embarrassing, but Tencent turned its head and took the lead in self-mockery, and its attitude of recognizing cowardice was timely and correct, thus resolving the public opinion crisis.

The importance of emotional value is self-evident. In all walks of life, emotional value can make consumers have high feelings and higher loyalty. For consumer goods, it can make the product life cycle longer.

The same is true for Alipay to plant trees and feed chickens. When business is covered by emotions, products have more temperature and we are more willing to choose.

The Pursuit of Happyness-Tell the post-90s about Marx (6)

 
 

 

  On June 19th, 1843, in the northeast of Trier, there was a small town called Cloots Nah. There was a simple and solemn wedding in a Protestant church. The groom’s name is Marx and the bride’s name is Yan Ni. The town where they got married, Kroc Nahe, is located at the intersection of the Rhine River and the Nar River. The scenery is pleasant, quiet and natural, and the hot springs are especially famous. Marx and Yan Ni, newlyweds, don’t mention how happy they are. The two spent a rare short honeymoon in and around the hot spring town.

  It is said that behind every successful man stands a great woman, and Marx is no exception. In particular, a man like him who has been in exile all his life and is poor and indomitable only for the revolutionary cause and lofty ideals in his heart, if there is no one around who knows, loves, understands and supports him, we may really be unable to imagine.

  IChildren can at least say with relief that Marx is lucky in love.He met his beloved Yan Ni when he was young, and they were childhood friends. Their love may not be earth-shattering, unforgettable, and they have been worried about tomorrow’s daily necessities, but the sufferings and smoke of the 19th century can’t blow away their mutual affection and affection, and it is only through physical illness and death that they are truly separated.

  It is said that adversity can only see the true feelings. Today, our lives are getting richer and our choices are becoming more and more diverse, but we often leave when we walk. Shallow love can’t compete with wealth and splendor, and running can’t win like water. I would like to ask, if there is a person who can stay with you when you are poorest and have nothing, what is the hypocritical reason to part ways with him/her? Today, we will talk about the love and marriage of the great Marx.

  such asIf modern love experts judge Marx, he may be a master of chasing girls. In a relationship, all the obstacles you can think of, such as the age gap, getting along in different places, the wrong family, and the unstable economic foundation, were all hit by Marx. Yan Ni is four years older than Max, so Marx is talking about a "sister-in-law relationship".

  Yan Ni, with a distinguished family background and a well-known family background, gradually became graceful and graceful with her age, and she was recognized as the "queen dancer" on the stage of Trier City. Such a star-studded "Bai Fumei" was also called a "popular lover" at that time, and many famous children and handsome young people lined up to fall at her feet. Marx is one of the masses, and the budding love is like a burning flame, which ignites the little heart of this warm-blooded young man. When he showed his love to Jenny von westphalen in fear and trembling, he could hardly believe that Yan Ni had accepted his admiration, and the two young people who were in tune secretly married for life.

  In fact, the 19th century German society was not as open and reasonable as we thought, and the love between Marx and Yan Ni was not valued by people, including their families. On the one hand, Yan Ni’s brother always thinks that she should marry a lieutenant or a nobleman with a title, perhaps because of the difference in family status. On the other hand, parents’ views are always more pragmatic. At that time, Marx was only 18 years old and was still in the school stage. An unemployed man had no economic foundation to take care of his future bride. At that time, Germans, like most of us now, thought that marriage should not be considered at all until they found a job to support their families. In addition, "brother-sister love" was also considered shameful at that time, which violated the inherent view of the world on male identity standards and the norms of gender relations. Therefore, their love is interpreted by their families as a rare and strong rebellious behavior.

  afterThere is an interesting saying that Karl Marx opposed it for the first time by proposing marriage before all radical revolutionary ideas and communist theories were really formed.19Bourgeois society in the 21st century.

  Like most suitors, although Marx was firm in his feelings, he was not stupid, but he still adopted some clever routines to contribute to the final success. For example, Yan Ni’s father, westfalen Sr, was first conquered by Marx, who was full of praise for the talent of his future son-in-law, calling Marx "an excellent, noble and outstanding" young man. And Yan Ni is also a woman who has a lot of pursuits and ideas. In her eyes, Marx loves learning, is full of wisdom, and is a person who can be relied on for life. In modern society, this concept of choosing a spouse, which regards wealth as a cloud, family status as dust, and talent, value and concept as the first choice, may also be laughed at as silly and naive, but it is her firm choice that has made this beautiful marriage.

  Later, we all know that with Marx’s efforts and Yan Ni’s understanding, the young couple finally broke through social prejudice and succeeded hand in hand. But from the establishment of love relationship to marriage, the two of them did not go smoothly.

  Marx didn’t go to college in Trier, so he and Yan Ni experienced an option that is especially not recommended in today’s love book — — Long-distance love This is a very big test. When Marx was in college, he seldom went home, and he didn’t see Yan Ni for a year. You can’t guess the main tool for young lovers to maintain their feelings, that is, writing letters.

  In that era when there was no computer, no mobile phone, no WeChat, no Weibo and no way to FACETIME,Marx wrote countless poems full of love and passion for his beloved girl, which were compiled into two Books of Love and a Book of Songs by later generations. Yan Ni kept these poems for life, and their daughter Laura later wrote, "My father didn’t value them; But whenever parents talk about them, they always laugh at these absurd behaviors when they were young. "

  In fact, when you really enter the world of Marx’s poetry, you will be impressed by his majestic words, and it seems that you can empathize with his passionate and sincere feelings for Yan Ni when you read it. For example, he wrote like this:

 

  We read these gorgeous and powerful poems, does it make your eyes shine? This is not the Marx I know! Indeed, Marx’s literary attainments are very high, which is closely related to his amazing reading. What is more commendable is that the pattern of his love poems is very large and amazing. He will often integrate love and ideal, will and career, aesthetics and cognition in his poems. For example, he once wrote such a love poem:

  Facing the whole treacherous world,

  I will choose the war without mercy,

  Let the world collapse,

  It can’t put out the flame by itself.

  Then I’ll be like God,

  Walking on the ruins of this universe;

  Every word I say is action,

  I am the creator of earthly life. 

  Although these poems seem immature, there are many flashes of thought between the lines besides overflowing love for Yan Ni, which laid a very solid foundation for him to move towards philosophy and speculation in the future. In fact, the communication habit between Marx and Yan Ni has been kept until they got married for decades, and they still wrote letters without interruption. Finally, in the dreary 1840s, the love between two young people is like a peony in a hundred flowers garden, which is in bud and ushers in a colorful tomorrow.

  In addition to their deep feelings, Yan Ni and Marx have a very consistent spiritual pursuit. Their dissatisfaction with reality, sympathy for the working masses and unshakable belief in the revolution are the value basis of this relationship. Yan Ni is the mother of Marx’s lover, wife and children, and also his most loyal comrade-in-arms. Does love have a shelf life? What kind of love can make people have a lifetime? Modern people may say that every day is a Valentine’s Day, but for Marx and Yan Ni, the answer is probably not so. The best love is not a material match, but a spiritual match. In modern society, a lot of people will narrowly understand the matching of property and social status. In fact, the most important thing is the consistency of values.

  After the wedding trip, Marx’s friend Lugar invited Marx and his wife to Paris and invited Marx to be the editor-in-chief of the German-French Yearbook. Marx has a particularly deep affection for France, because he listened to his father recite the works of French thinkers such as Rousseau and Voltaire from an early age, and at the same time Marx received the education and edification of excellent German classical philosophy. After all, Marx lived in Germany for 25 years. Therefore, when Lugar invited Marx to compile and publish a journal that accommodated the social and ideological trends of France and Germany at the same time, Marx almost agreed without hesitation. Unexpectedly, this trip opened the colorful movement of thought, and Marxism was born.

The new development concept is a theoretical and practical guide for China’s economic and social development.

The new development concept is a theoretical and practical guide for China's economic and social development.

  Author: Zhou Yuehui, Economics Department of Central Party School

  The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee emphasized that the development concept of "innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing" must be firmly established and effectively implemented in order to achieve the development goals during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, solve development problems and cultivate development advantages. It is the first time in the history of our party to write the new development concept into the document of the Central Plenary Session as an organic whole. The new development concept is a theoretical and practical guide for China’s economic and social development in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" and even a longer period.

The new development concept is a theoretical and practical guide for China's economic and social development.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that the concept of development is the forerunner of development action, the thing that manages the overall situation, the root, the direction and the long-term, and the concentrated expression of development ideas, development direction and development focus. At present, world multipolarization, economic globalization, cultural diversity and social informatization will develop in depth, but the haze of the international financial crisis has not dissipated. At the same time, the task of domestic reform, development and stability is still arduous, facing the dual pressures of economic downturn and transformation and upgrading, and the cyclical and structural contradictions are prominent. It is urgent to accelerate the transformation of economic development mode. Under the previous circumstances, the new development concept clarified the main context of economic and social development during the 13 th Five-Year Plan period. At present, China’s economic development has entered a new normal, and the internal supporting conditions and external demand environment of economic development have undergone profound changes. Adapting to and leading the new normal requires a brand-new development concept. The new development concept just meets the requirements of adapting to and leading the new normal of economic development, conforms to the overall improvement trend of China’s productivity level, and is a prescription for the complicated international and domestic situation.

  From the logical structure, the new development concept is a tight whole. Innovation is the first driving force to lead development. Under the situation of increasingly fierce international development competition and the transformation of China’s development power, we must focus on innovation, form an institutional framework to promote innovation, and shape more leading development driven by innovation and giving full play to the first-Mover advantage. Coordination is the inherent requirement of sustained and healthy development. We should adhere to regional coordination, integration of urban and rural areas, equal emphasis on material civilization and spiritual civilization, and integration of economic construction and national defense construction, broaden the development space in coordinated development, and enhance the development potential in strengthening weak areas. Green is a necessary condition for sustainable development and an important embodiment of people’s pursuit of a better life. We should adhere to the principle of enriching the country and benefiting the people, provide more high-quality ecological products for the people, promote the formation of a green development mode and lifestyle, and work together to promote people’s prosperity, country’s prosperity and China’s beauty. Opening-up is the only way for the country’s prosperity and development. To create a new situation of opening-up, we must enrich the connotation of opening-up, improve the level of opening-up, promote strategic mutual trust, economic and trade cooperation and cultural exchanges in coordination, and strive to form a deeply integrated and mutually beneficial cooperation pattern. Sharing is the essential requirement of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. We should stick to the bottom line, highlight key points, improve the system, guide expectations, pay attention to fair opportunities, safeguard basic people’s livelihood and achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way in accordance with the requirements of everyone’s participation, everyone’s efforts and everyone’s enjoyment.

  It is worth pointing out that the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period may be a period of continuous accumulation and even concentrated exposure of domestic and international risks. This requires us to firmly establish a new development concept, adhere to the bottom line thinking, enhance our sense of urgency and risk, take precautions, and establish and improve the institutional mechanisms to resolve various risks. At present, we should pay special attention to resolving economic risks, including overcapacity risk, real estate risk, local government debt risk, financial risk and so on. We should also pay attention to responding to the voices and concerns of the masses, focus on solving employment, social security and other issues, and coordinate various interests. It is necessary to develop an open economy at a higher level and seek mutually beneficial cooperation with deep integration. Put China’s development under the background of economic globalization, and expand the international vision and the mind of a big country. Maintain strategic strength, make better use of international markets and resources, and expand the breadth and depth of opening up. Improve the level of trade and investment facilitation, strengthen international capacity cooperation, pragmatically promote the construction of the "Belt and Road", actively participate in global economic governance and public goods supply, and build a broad community of interests.

  In short, the new development concept clarifies the basic ideas and methods of leading the new normal of economic development and building a well-off society in an all-round way according to China’s development environment, conditions, tasks and requirements under the new normal. We must find the focus of development, run the new development concept through the whole process and all fields of China’s economic and social development, so that the new development concept can truly take root and blossom!

Fengfeng found an ancient building built about 200 years ago. Come and explore it.

In Fengfeng mining area of Handan city and Liugangxi village of villages and towns

There is an ancient building-"Pit Yard".

It was built about 200 years ago in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

It is the only known pit yard in North China.

It fills a blank in the history of ancient residential buildings in North China.

What is a pit yard?

"Pit yard", also known as "cellar yard". It is a courtyard formed by digging a deep pit vertically downward on the flat ground or using the height difference of the cliff, forming an artificial earth cliff around the pit as the cliff body for excavating the cave, and then digging and building the cave in depth along the cliff body. Because its courtyard is deeply hidden below the ground level, it is very hidden. Therefore, people say that this kind of courtyard is "when you enter the village, you can’t see the courtyard, you can’t see people when you see trees, you only smell chickens and dogs, and the caves are underground." The caves dug in the courtyard of the pit yard are also called "sunken caves".

Topographic characteristics and architectural pattern of pit yard

The "pit yard" is mostly square or rectangular according to the terrain characteristics, and some are round. The residents in the pit yard have single-family houses and several households share the area in the pit. The depth of caves is generally 8 to 10 meters; It consists of a main cave and auxiliary caves on both sides, forming a building pattern of "one main and two auxiliary caves" in parallel or "one main and one auxiliary cave" and "H" shape.

So what are the distinctive and unique regional characteristics of Fengfeng’s pit yard?

The construction scale is large.

The pit yard in Liugangxi is located on the cliff slope in the south of the village. Locals call it "Nanyao", with a diameter of about 30 meters and a depth of about 6 meters. There are 18 caves. Among them, four caves are basically intact, with cave doors, windows and kiln bodies; The brick cave doors of 8 caves collapsed and the kiln bodies were well preserved; Six caves have collapsed.

Strange layout

The upper part is basically round, which shows that the sky is vast and far away, which is conducive to the lighting and ventilation of the pit yard; The bottom is square, which highlights the household grounding, the balance of yin and yang, and embodies the orderly layout of the building space. In our country, the layout of the "round place" like this is unique and very unique.

Cave dwellings have diverse structures.

Because the south of the pit yard is a hard mountain, the west is a cliff with half a cliff and half a soil, and the east and north are loess cliffs, the caves drilled on the loess cliffs in the east and north of the pit yard are in back-to-back series shape, the caves drilled in the west are parallel caves, and the caves cannot be drilled in the south because of the hard rock. Among them, four of the eight caves located in the east face the pit yard and four face the pit yard; There are 7 caves in the north, 4 facing the courtyard and 3 facing the courtyard, which are in an H-shaped parallel structure.

The cave layout is special.

The cave is about 8 meters deep, 3.5 meters wide and 3 meters high. The main cave has a complete brick hole, and the hole has two wooden doors, and three plate-type wooden lintels are left on the doors; There is a channel communication between caves; The top of the cave is mostly a brick dome, and some of it is an earth dome. What is even more peculiar is that the caves located on the north side of the courtyard and facing the north end of the courtyard communicate with the caves that open to the outside, and there is also a hidden hole in the communicated caves, forming a special layout in which a group of "┓"-shaped caves are connected in series with three kilns, and exits facing the inside and outside of the courtyard are left in both open holes and serial holes.

As an ancient and unique rural residential building form, Liugang West Pit Yard once lived in four families for many years, bearing and witnessing the good memories of generations of villagers. In 2017, due to disrepair, some caves collapsed due to rain erosion, and people moved out one after another until they were uninhabited. However, because of its unique architectural form and some architectural elements, it still retains precious archaeological and tourism values. Sihao Road in Liugangxi Village is connected with the tourist ring road, adjacent to the scenic spots such as Xiangtangshan and Xiangtangshui Town in Hecun Town. It is hoped that the relevant departments will strengthen the restoration and protection, and it is expected that "Tiankengyuan" will also take advantage of the strong east wind of Fengfeng cultural tourism industry and become a new tourist attraction in Fengfeng.

In the next stage, we must adhere to the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively, coordinate the epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development efficiently according to the requirements of preventing the epidemic, stabilizing the economy and ensuring the safety of development, seize the critical period of economic recovery, pay close attention to the effectiveness of the economic package, continue to do the work of "six stabilities" and "six guarantees", continuously increase the effectiveness and activation, and continuously consolidate the foundation of stable economic recovery. Thank you.

Shou Xiaoli:

Thank you, Director Fu Linghui, for your introduction. Let’s enter the question session. Please inform your news organization before asking questions.

Phoenix TV reporter:

We saw that the economic growth rate declined in the second quarter because of the severe impact of the epidemic. What do you think of this? Can China’s economy achieve sustained recovery in the next stage? Thank you.

Fu Linghui:

Thank you for your question. In the second quarter, influenced by unexpected factors such as the complex evolution of the international environment and the impact of domestic epidemic, the downward pressure on the economy increased significantly. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, all localities and departments have effectively coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, effectively implemented a package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy, effectively controlled the rebound of the epidemic, and the economic operation has generally stabilized and rebounded. Mainly has the following characteristics:

First, in the second quarter, China’s economy withstood the pressure to achieve positive growth. In April, under the condition that the epidemic situation hit and the main indicators declined year-on-year, all parties increased the intensity of steady growth, actively promoted the smooth flow of logistics, resisted the downward pressure on the economy, promoted the economic stabilization and recovery, and ensured the positive growth in the second quarter. In the second quarter, the GDP increased by 0.4% year-on-year. Industry and investment continued to grow. In the second quarter, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 0.7%, and the investment in fixed assets increased by 4.2%.

Second, from a monthly perspective, the economy has gradually picked up since May. Affected by unexpected factors in April, the main indicators declined significantly. With the overall improvement of epidemic prevention and control, enterprises resumed work and production in an orderly manner, and a series of policies and measures to stabilize growth were effective. In May, the economy stopped the downward trend in April, and the main economic indicators stabilized and rebounded in June. In terms of production, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 3.9% year-on-year in June, 3.2 percentage points faster than that of the previous month; The service industry production index also changed from a decrease of 5.1% in the previous month to an increase of 1.3%; In terms of demand, the total retail sales of social consumer goods in June changed from 6.7% in the previous month to 3.1%; Exports increased by 22%, 6.7 percentage points faster than last month. From a regional perspective, in June, the year-on-year growth rate of industrial added value above designated size in 21 regions of 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities rebounded from last month, accounting for 67.7%; The growth rate of retail sales of consumer goods above designated size in 30 regions rebounded from last month, accounting for 96.8%.

Third, employment prices are generally stable. The unemployment rate in urban surveys has dropped for two consecutive months. In the second quarter, the national urban survey unemployment rate averaged 5.8%. On a monthly basis, the urban survey unemployment rate was 6.1% in April, and dropped continuously in May and June. It dropped to 5.9% in May and 5.5% in June. From June, the urban survey unemployment rate of the employed population aged 25-59 was 4.5%, down 0.6 percentage points from last month; The survey unemployment rate of foreign agricultural registered population was 5.3%, down by 0.9 percentage points. Consumer prices rose moderately. In the second quarter, consumer prices rose by 2.3% year-on-year. From a monthly perspective, CPI rose by 2.1% year-on-year in April and May, and rose by 2.5% in June, a slight increase from last month. China’s price increase is obviously lower than the level of more than 8% in European and American countries. In June, the CPI of the United States and the Eurozone increased by 9.1% and 8.6% respectively.

Fourth, foreign trade is better and foreign reserves are stable. Imports and exports grew rapidly. In the second quarter, the total import and export volume of goods increased by 8.1% year-on-year, maintaining a rapid growth. On a monthly basis, the total import and export volume of goods in April and May increased by 0.1% and 9.6% respectively. The growth rate accelerated to 14.3% in June. Foreign reserves were generally stable. In the second quarter, the balance of foreign exchange reserves remained stable at more than $3 trillion.

Fifth, the trend of industrial upgrading continues. New industries grew rapidly. In the second quarter, the added value of high-tech manufacturing industries above designated size increased by 5.7% year-on-year, which was 5 percentage points faster than all industries above designated size. The proportion of manufacturing industry continues to increase. In the second quarter, the added value of manufacturing accounted for 28.8% of GDP. It increased by 0.3 percentage points year on year. The modern service industry has developed rapidly. In the second quarter, the added value of information transmission software, information technology service industry and financial industry increased by 7.6% and 5.9% respectively, which was significantly faster than all service industries.

Generally speaking, China’s economy overcame multiple pressure challenges in the second quarter, and the main indicators stopped the downward trend and stabilized and rebounded. In the next stage, despite the unexpected factors such as the complex and severe international environment and the impact of domestic epidemic, the economic operation is facing more difficulties and challenges, but the fundamentals of China’s long-term economic improvement have not changed, and the characteristics of economic resilience, great potential and wide space are obvious. With a series of policies and measures to stabilize growth taking effect, the national economy is expected to gradually recover and maintain steady growth. Thank you.

CCTV reporter from the Central Radio and Television General Station:

Since the beginning of this year, the domestic and international environment has undergone complex changes. What are the characteristics of China’s economic operation? How to evaluate the economic trend in the first half of this year? Thank you.

Fu Linghui:

Thank you for your question. Since the beginning of this year, the international environment has become more complicated and severe, the crisis in Ukraine has deepened and evolved, and domestic epidemics have occurred frequently, and unexpected factors have exceeded expectations. China’s economic operation has experienced certain fluctuations. The overall economic recovery in January and February was better than expected. In March and April, due to the impact of the international environment and domestic epidemic, the main economic indicators declined significantly. However, since May, with the effective overall planning of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, a package of policies and measures to stabilize growth has been effectively implemented, the domestic epidemic prevention and control has generally improved, the economic operation has gradually stabilized and rebounded, and positive changes have increased significantly. Mainly has the following characteristics:

First, the economy has overcome difficulties and maintained growth. Since the beginning of this year, the international situation has been complicated and severe, and the world economic growth has slowed down obviously. The frequent occurrence of domestic epidemics has caused a serious impact on the stable operation of the economy. Especially in April, the downward pressure on the economy increased significantly. In response to this, all localities and departments, in accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, effectively coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, intensified macro-policy adjustment, and introduced a solid package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy, which stabilized the economic market and promoted positive economic growth in the second quarter. In the first half of the year, the GDP increased by 2.5% year-on-year, including 0.4% in the second quarter, which was achieved against the background of the decline of major production demand indicators in April and May. It should be said that it was not easy, reflecting the strong resilience of China’s economy.

Second, the price situation is generally stable. Affected by geopolitical conflicts, the expansion of liquidity of major economies in the world and other factors, international commodity prices, especially food and energy prices, have remained high this year, which has increased the impact on domestic imported inflation. Under such conditions, China has stepped up efforts to ensure supply and price stability in the market, made a good job in grain and energy production, and ensured the overall stability of domestic market prices. In the first half of the year, consumer prices rose by 1.7% year-on-year, which was lower than the expected target of about 3% for the whole year. The core CPI excluding food and energy rose by 1% and remained basically stable. China’s price increase is obviously lower than the increase level of more than 8% in European and American countries, which is conducive to the smooth operation of the economy and the improvement of people’s livelihood.

Third, employment and people’s livelihood are guaranteed. Affected by the impact of the epidemic, the employment pressure has suddenly increased this year, making it more difficult for residents to increase their income and ensure people’s livelihood. In response to outstanding problems, all aspects have continued to increase efforts to stabilize employment and strengthen the protection of people’s livelihood, and the results have gradually emerged. In the first half of the year, 6.54 million new jobs were created in cities and towns across the country. Since May, the national urban survey unemployment rate has changed its previous upward trend and dropped for two consecutive months. In June, the national urban survey unemployment rate dropped to 5.5%. Among them, the unemployment rate of the employed population aged 25-59 is 4.5%, which is basically the same as that in January. Residents’ income grew steadily. In the first half of the year, the per capita disposable income of the national residents increased by 3% year-on-year, which was lower than that in the first quarter, but faster than the economic growth. Among them, the per capita net transfer income of the national residents increased by 5.6% year-on-year, which was 0.9 percentage points faster than the total income.

Fourth, the toughness of foreign trade import and export appears. Since the beginning of this year, the momentum of world trade growth has weakened, and the global manufacturing PMI new export order index has been below threshold for four consecutive months. However, China’s foreign trade import and export has maintained rapid growth despite the adverse effects of the tightening external environment and the short-term impact of the epidemic, which reflects the strong resilience of China’s foreign trade. In the first half of the year, China’s total import and export volume of goods increased by 9.4% year-on-year, of which exports increased by 13.2%. In June, the total import and export volume of goods increased by 14.3% year-on-year, 4.7 percentage points faster than last month.

Fifth, the transformation and upgrading situation continued. Although the external environment is complicated and severe, and the downward pressure on the domestic economy is increasing, China’s economic innovation has continued to increase, and the trend of upgrading and development has not changed. New kinetic energy grew rapidly. In the first half of the year, the added value of high-tech manufacturing industries above designated size increased by 9.6% year-on-year, and investment in high-tech industries increased by 20.2%, both of which maintained rapid growth. The retail sales of physical online goods increased by 5.6%, accounting for 25.9% of the total retail sales of social consumer goods. Adjustment and optimization of economic structure. In the first half of the year, the added value of manufacturing industry accounted for 28.8% of GDP, an increase of 0.7 percentage points over the same period of last year. The per capita income ratio of urban and rural residents was 2.55, down by 0.06 compared with the same period of last year. The green transformation continued to advance. In the first half of the year, the proportion of clean energy consumption in total energy consumption increased by 1.3 percentage points year-on-year, and the output of new energy vehicles and solar cells increased by 111.2% and 31.8% respectively.

Generally speaking, China’s economy maintained growth despite difficulties in the first half of the year, showing a trend of stabilization and recovery. However, the external environment is complex and severe, and the domestic economic recovery still faces many challenges. In the next stage, we should continue to coordinate the epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development in an efficient way in accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, promote the steady growth of a package of policies and measures, and promote sustained and healthy economic development. Thank you.

Reuters reporter:

I would like to ask, our economic growth in the first half of the year was 2.5%, which is still far from the target of about 5.5% this year. What do you think the recovery will be like in the second half of the year? Will we introduce some new measures to stabilize growth, especially in boosting consumption and private investment? Thank you.

Fu Linghui:

Thank you for your question. In the first half of the year, affected by the complex and severe international environment and the impact of domestic epidemic, economic growth was affected to some extent. From the perspective of the whole year, with the joint efforts of all parties, it is not easy to maintain positive economic growth in the second quarter. From the next stage, the risk of global economic stagflation is rising, and there are still many unstable and uncertain factors in domestic economic recovery, but the basic characteristics of China’s strong economic resilience, great potential and long-term improvement have not changed. With the implementation of a package of policies and measures to stabilize growth, the economic operation is expected to gradually improve.

First, the economies of big countries are resilient. The epidemic has caused a great impact on the economy, but the scale of China’s economy is still considerable, and the advantages of long-term accumulation of solid material foundation and super-large market scale are obvious. In the first half of the year, the total economic output reached 56 trillion yuan, of which the added value of industry was close to 20 trillion yuan, the added value of service industry exceeded 30 trillion yuan, the total investment in fixed assets exceeded 27 trillion yuan, and the total retail sales of social consumer goods still exceeded 21 trillion yuan, although it declined. All these have increased our confidence and confidence in coping with various risk challenges.

Second, there is potential for demand recovery. From the perspective of investment, the steady investment has been continuously increased, the issuance and use of special bonds have been accelerated, major projects have been accelerated, and infrastructure investment has been accelerated. The key role of investment in steady growth is expected to increase. In the first half of the year, infrastructure investment increased by 7.1% year-on-year, 0.4 percentage points faster than that in January-May. From the leading indicators, the planned total investment of new projects in the first half of the year increased by 22.9% year-on-year, maintaining a rapid growth. From the perspective of consumption, with the situation of epidemic prevention and control improving, the offline consumption scene is gradually recovering, and with the efforts of promoting consumption policies, consumption is expected to continue to recover. From the perspective of foreign trade, China’s foreign trade import and export has strong resilience. At present, port logistics continues to advance, imports and exports in the Yangtze River Delta and other regions have recovered rapidly, and the port business environment has been continuously optimized, which has a good foundation for maintaining stability and improving quality of foreign trade. In May, China’s total import and export volume increased by 9.5% year-on-year, 9.4 percentage points faster than that in April; In June, imports and exports increased by 14.3% year-on-year, which was 4.8 percentage points faster than that in May.

Third, there is support for the recovery of production. From the perspective of industry, in May, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size took the lead in turning from negative to positive, with a year-on-year increase of 0.7%, and the growth rate accelerated to 3.9% in June. With the acceleration of enterprises’ resumption of work and production, the blocking points in the supply chain of the industrial chain have been gradually opened, and the driving role of key industries such as automobiles and electronics is expected to be further enhanced. Especially in the second quarter, the accelerated recovery of production in areas with severe epidemics will help support the steady growth of industry. In June, the manufacturing PMI returned to above the critical point, in which the expected index of production and business activities rose to 55.2%, indicating that the confidence of manufacturing enterprises continued to increase. From the perspective of service industry, with the stabilization of epidemic prevention and control situation, the production of service industry turned from decline to increase in June, and the production index of service industry increased by 1.3% year-on-year, especially in contact and aggregation industries. With the accelerated recovery of production and living order, the market demand for service industry is gradually picking up, the confidence of enterprises is restored, and the service industry is expected to be further improved. In June, the service industry PMI has risen to 54.3%, returning to the expansion range, in which the business activity expectation index reached 61%, rising for two consecutive months. From the perspective of transportation and logistics, logistics and transportation are gradually smooth, which is helpful to support the further recovery of production. In June, the prosperity index of the logistics industry was 52.1%, up 2.8 percentage points from last month.

Fourth, innovation and development add momentum. In recent years, China has deeply implemented the innovation-driven development strategy, vigorously promoted industrial transformation and upgrading, and effectively promoted the development and growth of new kinetic energy. Under the epidemic situation, the traditional industries have accelerated to the direction of digitalization, networking and intelligence, and the new kinetic energy of new industries has continued to maintain steady and rapid growth, which has continuously enhanced its supporting role for economic development and helped to promote sustained economic recovery. In the second quarter, the added value of high-tech manufacturing industries above designated size increased by 5.7% year-on-year, which was 5 percentage points faster than that of industries above designated size; The added value of information transmission, software and information technology services increased by 7.6%, which was 7.2 percentage points higher than the GDP growth rate.

Fifth, macroeconomic policies are guaranteed. Since the second quarter, faced with the downward pressure of the economy, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued 33 policies and measures to stabilize growth in six aspects in a timely manner, and all localities and departments acted quickly and effectively. In June, the State Council further strengthened its deployment and demanded that a package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy be put into effect. Judging from the recent situation of economic operation, the investment in infrastructure has obviously accelerated, the consumption of bulk commodities such as automobiles has rebounded significantly, the flow of logistics people has been smoother, the expected confidence of enterprises has gradually improved, and the policy of steady growth is exerting its strength. In the next stage, the policy effects such as large-scale tax refund, the issuance and use of special bonds, and increasing financial support for the real economy will continue to emerge, which will help promote sustained economic recovery and sound development.

Generally speaking, with the improvement of epidemic prevention and control situation and the emergence of policy effects, China’s advantages of large economy, wide market space, sufficient development resilience, many reform dividends and strong governance capacity will be further exerted, and the economy is expected to maintain its development trend. Of course, we should also see that there are still many external unstable and uncertain factors, and the triple pressure at home still exists. We still need to make unremitting efforts to stabilize the macro-economic market and promote sustained economic recovery. Thank you.

Central Radio and Television General Station Yang Guang reporter:

We noticed that the economy of some areas was greatly affected by the impact of the epidemic in the first half of the year. What is the current recovery situation? In addition, on the whole, what is the operation of China’s regional economy? How do you evaluate it? Thank you.

Fu Linghui:

Thank you for your question. Indeed, since the first half of this year, the epidemic has had a great impact on the economic operation in some areas, but it should be noted that the impact of the epidemic is short-term and external, and will not change the general trend of coordinated regional economic development. Judging from the situation in the first half of the year, especially in the second quarter, with the effective coordination of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and the implementation of a package of policies and measures to stabilize growth, China’s economy has gradually overcome the adverse effects of the epidemic and accelerated its recovery. Positive changes have taken place in the economies of some areas hit hard by the epidemic.

First, in the second quarter, the economies of most regions were basically stable. In terms of growth, in the second quarter, the GDP of 26 of the 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) maintained growth, accounting for 83.9%. In terms of employment, the urban survey unemployment rate in 19 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in the second quarter was lower than the national average, of which the urban survey unemployment rate in the western region was 5.5%, which was 0.3 percentage points lower than the national average. From the price point of view, prices rose moderately in most areas, and consumer prices in 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) increased by less than 3% in the second quarter.

Second, the economic growth in the central and western regions is good. In the second quarter, the GDP of the central and western regions increased by 2.3% and 2% respectively, and the growth rate was faster than that of the whole country. Judging from the situation in the first half of the year, the growth in the central and western regions was faster than that in the eastern region. In the first half of the year, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size in the central and western regions increased by 7.3% year-on-year, which was 5.1 percentage points faster than that in the eastern region. The investment in fixed assets in the central and western regions increased by 10.7% and 8% respectively, which was 6.2 and 3.5 percentage points faster than that in the eastern region.

Third, some areas have been hit hard by the epidemic. Under the impact of the epidemic, the normal order of production and life has been affected to some extent, and the economy in some areas has declined, and the unemployment rate has increased in a short period of time. In the second quarter, the GDP of Shanghai and Jilin decreased by 13.7% and 4.5% year-on-year, and the urban unemployment rates in Shanghai and Jilin were 12.5% and 7.6%, which were significantly higher than the national level.

Fourth, the regional economies that have been greatly affected by the impact of the epidemic have accelerated their recovery. Although the economy of some areas was greatly affected by the epidemic in the second quarter, from a monthly perspective, with the overall improvement of epidemic prevention and control, enterprises resumed work and production, and the main economic indicators improved significantly in June. In June, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size in Shanghai and Jilin increased by 13.9% and 6.3% year-on-year, and decreased by 30.9% and 4.9% respectively last month. In terms of consumption, the retail sales of consumer goods above designated size in Jilin increased by 5.5% in June and decreased by 1.5% last month. In terms of employment, the survey unemployment rates in Shanghai and Jilin cities and towns decreased by 9.7 and 0.8 percentage points respectively compared with last month, indicating that the economic recovery in these areas which were hit hard by the epidemic was steadily accelerating.

Generally speaking, the economy in most areas of China is generally stable, the growth in the central and western regions is faster than that in the east, and the trend of coordinated regional development has not changed. Some areas have encountered temporary difficulties due to the epidemic, but under the action of various stable economic policies and measures, the economic operation has accelerated to recover. Of course, we should also see that the problem of unbalanced economic development in China is still outstanding, and the development gap between regions is large. In the next stage, we should continue to implement regional major strategies and regional coordinated development strategies in depth, narrow the regional gap and promote coordinated and sustainable economic development. Thank you.

Bloomberg News reporter:

We see that in today’s report, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 3.9% in June. According to my personal estimation, in fact, the indicators of many products have declined. I want to know, how is this 3.9% target achieved? Thank you.

Fu Linghui:

Since the beginning of this year, affected by the epidemic, industrial production has declined in April, turned from decline to increase in May, and the growth rate has obviously accelerated in June. Judging from the output and added value of industrial products, we saw that the production of automobile industry rebounded obviously in June. Affected by the epidemic in the early stage, the industrial chain of the automobile industry in the Yangtze River Delta region has been affected to some extent. However, in the near future, with the gradual recovery of the economy in Shanghai and other regions, the production growth of the automobile industry has accelerated, both in terms of output and added value, which has obviously accelerated compared with last month, and played an important role in the rebound of industrial production throughout June. You just mentioned that some products have declined, but the output of most products has maintained growth. So overall, industrial production rebounded in June; From the structural point of view, the rebound of equipment manufacturing industry is more obvious, especially the rebound of automobile industry, which is more prominent for the whole industrial growth. With the economic recovery, other industries have also played a supporting role in the whole industrial growth. Thank you.

Cover journalist:

The unemployment rate of young people aged 16-24 has reached a new high this year. Can you tell us more about the current employment situation of young people? What is the spokesman’s prediction of the employment situation in the next stage? Can the employment target of more than 11 million people be achieved this year?

Fu Linghui:

Thank you for your question. Everyone is very concerned about employment, which is the foundation of people’s livelihood. Since the beginning of this year, the complicated and severe international environment and the impact of domestic epidemic have had a certain impact on employment. Generally speaking, with the joint efforts of all parties, with the gradual recovery of the economy and the gradual implementation of various policies to stabilize employment, the trend of rising unemployment rate in urban surveys has been reversed. We can see that due to various factors, the urban survey unemployment rate rose to 6.1% in April. With the improvement of epidemic prevention and control, the urban survey unemployment rate declined for two consecutive months from May. In May, the urban survey unemployment rate was 5.9%, down 0.2 percentage points from the previous month, and further dropped to 5.5% in June. Judging from the situation in the second quarter, the employment situation mainly has the following characteristics:

First, the employment of the main population is generally stable. Although the unemployment rate of employed people aged 25-59 increased in April, the increase was significantly lower than the overall unemployment rate. In June, the unemployment rate of the employed population aged 25-59 was 4.5%, down 0.6 percentage points from the previous month and close to the average level in 2021.

Second, the employment situation of migrant workers has improved. Migrant workers are mostly engaged in labor-intensive manufacturing and service industries, mostly self-employed and flexible employment, and their employment stability is relatively poor. Affected by the epidemic, the unemployment rate of migrant agricultural registered population rose to 6.6% in April. With the epidemic being gradually controlled, the employment of migrant workers has improved significantly. In May, the unemployment rate of foreign agricultural registered population dropped to 6.2%, and in June it dropped to 5.3%, which was lower than the overall unemployment rate.

Third, the employment pressure of young people is still relatively high. When young people enter the labor market for the first time, they generally face the dilemma of frictional unemployment. At the same time, affected by the epidemic, the ability of enterprises to absorb employment has declined, and the channels for young people to find jobs have also been hindered. In addition, the total number of college graduates reached a record high this year, which aggravated the employment pressure of young people. In June, the unemployment rate of urban youth aged 16-24 was 19.3%, which was at a high level this year.

Generally speaking, with the economic recovery, the stable employment policy has been effective, and the employment situation in China has generally shown an improvement trend in the second quarter. However, the problem of young people’s high employment pressure is still outstanding. We must continue to do a good job in stabilizing employment, especially for key groups. We must further implement the stable employment policy, implement employment assistance, and promote the continuous improvement of the employment situation. Thank you.

Financial Times reporter:

You just mentioned that the investment in fixed assets continued to improve in the second quarter. At the same time, we noticed that the cement output still showed a decline of 12.9% in June, and the operating rate of asphalt also showed a relatively low historical level. How do you understand this contrast? What is the forecast for future infrastructure investment? Thank you.

Fu Linghui:

Thank you for your question. Since the beginning of this year, people have paid more attention to investment and related investment products. In recent years, from the perspective of three major fields, China’s investment in manufacturing industry has the fastest growth rate, with the growth rate exceeding 10% in the first half of the year. Among the manufacturing industries, the high-tech manufacturing industry grew by more than 20%. From the structural point of view, China’s economic and industrial development is gradually upgrading, and it is obvious to promote the related products of industrial upgrading. On the contrary, the investment growth of some traditional industries has gradually slowed down, which has limited pull on the production of related traditional products. With the continuous development of China’s industrial upgrading, high quality and innovation in the future, the impetus to the equipment manufacturing industry and high-tech related products is increasing. Therefore, in general, although China’s economy has been hit by the epidemic this year, the trend of industrial upgrading and high-quality development has not changed, and the employment and price situation is generally stable. Judging from these circumstances, the trend of China’s economy maintaining steady growth and moving towards high-quality development will not change in the future. Thank you.

Japanese Asahi Shimbun reporter:

Without the influence of COVID-19 epidemic, what is the potential economic growth rate of China? What do you think of the possibility of economic recovery in the second half of the year to achieve the annual GDP growth target of 5.5%? Thank you.

Fu Linghui:

Thank you for your question. Many institutions and scholars have calculated the potential economic growth rate of China, and the results are different. Generally speaking, most of the conclusions are that the potential growth rate of China’s economy at this stage is about 5.5%-6.5%. In the future, with the increase of China’s economic volume, the constraints of labor resources and environment will be strengthened, and the potential growth rate will gradually decrease. However, from a global perspective, the potential growth rate of 5.5%-6.5% is still in the middle and high level, especially under the condition of China’s large economic volume, it is very difficult to maintain the middle and high level of growth, which also shows that the potential of China’s economic growth is still relatively large.

China is still the largest developing country in the world. Although China’s per capita GDP has exceeded $10,000, there is still a big gap compared with the per capita level of developed countries above $40,000. This gap is also a huge space and potential for China’s economic development in the future. What needs to be pointed out is that the international environment is complicated and severe, the epidemic situation of the century is superimposed, the development of globalization is going against the current, the adjustment and transformation of domestic economic structure is in a critical period, and it is increasingly difficult for China’s economic growth to reach the potential level. We still have to work hard to maintain steady economic growth. In the first half of this year, it was not easy for China’s economy to resist the impact of unexpected factors and maintain growth. At present, the risk of stagflation in the world economy is rising, external instability and uncertainties are increasing, and the triple pressures of domestic demand contraction, supply shock and expected weakening still exist, which is a challenge to achieve the expected goal of annual economic growth. However, we should also see that the fundamentals of China’s long-term economic improvement have not changed, the characteristics of strong economic resilience are obvious, and there are abundant macro-policy adjustment tools, which have more favorable conditions for promoting sustained economic recovery. Judging from the situation in the second half of the year, with the efficient coordination of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, the effects of various policies and measures to effectively promote economic stability are constantly emerging, and China’s economy is expected to continue to pick up and remain in a reasonable range. In the next stage, we should seize the favorable opportunity of economic stabilization and recovery, make overall plans for epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development in accordance with the overall requirements of preventing the epidemic, stabilizing the economy and ensuring safe development, do a good job in implementing a package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy, lay a solid foundation for economic recovery and maintain sustained and healthy economic development. Thank you.

Interface journalist:

In June, the year-on-year increase of CPI hit a new high in the past two years. With the start of the pig cycle, will the inflationary pressure of the spokesman increase further in the second half of the year? What measures will the government take to keep prices in a reasonable range? Thank you.

Fu Linghui:

Thank you for your question. Since the beginning of this year, the international inflationary pressure has risen as a whole, and domestic concerns about price stability are also rising. Since the beginning of this year, with the gradual recovery of domestic market demand and the influence of international input factors, the year-on-year increase of CPI has continued to expand, but overall it has maintained a moderate increase. In the first half of the year, CPI rose by 1.7% year-on-year, of which food prices fell by 0.4% and non-food prices rose by 2.2%. From the perspective of the second quarter, the increase of CPI was generally stable, rising by 2.3% year-on-year. From a monthly perspective, both April and May increased by 2.1% year-on-year, and in June it increased by 2.5%. From the second quarter, the CPI changes have the following characteristics:

First, food prices have turned from falling to rising. Food prices rose by 2.3% in the second quarter and fell by 3.1% in the first quarter. Mainly affected by the increase in the prices of fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and grain and the narrowing of the decline in pork prices. Among them, the price of pork decreased by 21.3% in the second quarter, which was 20.5 percentage points narrower than that in the first quarter.

Second, the price increase of industrial consumer goods has expanded. In the second quarter, the price of industrial consumer goods rose by 4.1% year-on-year, an increase of 1.1 percentage points over the first quarter. Mainly due to the influence of international import factors, the prices of some energy sources have risen a lot. In the second quarter, the prices of gasoline and diesel increased by 30% and 32.8% respectively.

Third, the increase in service prices has dropped. Affected by the epidemic situation and other factors, the demand for services is weak, which has lowered the increase in service prices. In the second quarter, service prices rose by 0.8% year-on-year, and the growth rate dropped by 0.5 percentage points compared with the first quarter. Among them, the price increases of air tickets and tourism have all declined. From June, CPI rose by 2.5% year-on-year, and the increase was mainly due to the lower base of the previous year. Among the 2.5% year-on-year increase in June, the hikes affected about 1.2 percentage points, an increase of 0.4 percentage points over the previous month; The new price increase factor is about 1.3 percentage points, which is the same as last month. From the structural point of view, food rose by 2.9% year-on-year, with an increase of 0.6 percentage points over the previous month, mainly due to the narrowing of the decline in pork prices. Energy prices rose by 17.4%, an increase of 2.7 percentage points, mainly due to the impact of rising gasoline and diesel prices. The core CPI excluding food and energy rose by 1%, an increase of 0.1 percentage point over the previous month, indicating that the market supply and demand were generally stable.

From an international perspective, China’s CPI increase is significantly lower than that of European and American countries, mainly because China has not adopted the strong stimulus policy of "flooding". In the face of international imported inflation, the domestic market has been strengthened to ensure supply and stabilize prices; In addition, grain production has been strengthened, and this year’s summer grain has achieved a bumper harvest. The summer grain production has increased by 1% over the previous year, ensuring the overall stability of CPI. The stability of the price situation is not only conducive to the smooth operation of the economy, but also conducive to the improvement of people’s livelihood.

Regarding whether the pork price that everyone cares about will affect the overall increase of CPI, the overall impact is limited. At present, the overall production capacity of live pigs has returned to the normal level, and the price does not have the basis for a sharp increase. In the early stage, the big pigs will be released one after another, which is conducive to increasing the supply of pork. In addition, relevant departments will strengthen market regulation and stabilize the relationship between supply and demand, which will promote the stable operation of prices.

In the next stage, after entering the flood season, the supply of fresh goods in some areas may be affected to some extent, and the influence of international input factors may continue. However, the supply capacity of goods and services in China is generally abundant, and the market is increasing its efforts to ensure supply and stabilize prices, and prices are expected to maintain a moderate upward trend. Thank you.

The Paper reporter:

You just mentioned that the growth rate of industrial added value turned from negative to positive in May and continued to accelerate in June. At present, the epidemic situation in many places in China has brought new uncertainty to China’s economic and social development. Excuse me, what do you think of the current situation of resumption of work and production in China? What is the forecast for the recovery of industrial economy in the second half of the year and the whole year? Thank you.

Fu Linghui:

In the first half of the year, due to unexpected factors at home and abroad, the monthly year-on-year growth rate of industrial production declined in April. However, with the emergence of overall epidemic prevention and control and the effectiveness of economic and social development, measures to stabilize the operation of industrial economy have been exerted, and industrial production has continuously picked up since May. From the first half of the year, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 3.4% year-on-year. From the second quarter, industrial production stopped the downward trend and realized a shift from decline to increase. In the second quarter, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 0.7% year-on-year, which decreased by 2.9% in April, increased by 0.7% in May, and further accelerated to 3.9% in June. The trend of stabilization and recovery was obvious. The main performance is:

First, the mining industry has maintained rapid growth. Energy supply and price stability continued to advance, and related industries continued to grow rapidly, which led to the growth of added value of the mining industry. In the second quarter, the added value of mining industry increased by 8.4% year-on-year, in which the growth rate of coal mining and washing industry exceeded double digits, which were significantly faster than that of all industries above designated size.

Second, the growth of high-tech manufacturing industry continues unabated. Despite the adverse impact of the epidemic, the trend of industrial upgrading and development has not changed, and the high-tech manufacturing industry has grown rapidly. In the second quarter, the added value of high-tech manufacturing industries above designated size increased by 5.7% year-on-year, faster than all industries above designated size, showing strong resilience.

Third, the role of industrial exports is obvious. China’s industrial production capacity is strong, its international competitiveness is strong, and its industrial exports have maintained rapid growth. In the second quarter, export delivery value, an industrial enterprise above designated size, grew by 8.2% year-on-year, including 15.1% in June, 4 percentage points faster than last month.

Fourth, industrial production in the central and western regions is generally stable. In the second quarter, the eastern and northeastern regions were greatly affected by the epidemic, but the industrial production in the central and western regions was generally stable, which supported industrial production. In the second quarter, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size in the central and western regions increased by 5.9% and 6% respectively year-on-year, both faster than the growth rate of industrial added value above designated size in China.

From June, with the steady growth of a series of measures, industrial production rebounded significantly. First, most industries and regions have rebounded. In June, among the 41 major industrial sectors, the growth rate of 27 industries rebounded from last month, accounting for 65.9%. Among the 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), the growth rate of industrial enterprises above designated size rebounded in 21 regions, accounting for 67.7%. Second, the growth rate of equipment manufacturing industry has accelerated. With the gradual opening of the industrial chain supply chain, the production of the automobile industry has rebounded sharply, which has accelerated the equipment manufacturing industry. In June, the added value of the equipment manufacturing industry increased by 9.2% year-on-year, 8.1 percentage points higher than that of the previous month, of which the automobile manufacturing industry increased by 16.2%, down by 7% last month. Third, industrial production in areas that were hit hard by the epidemic in the early stage has obviously recovered. In June, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size in Shanghai and Jilin increased by 13.9% and 6.3% respectively year-on-year, and decreased by 30.9% and 4.9% respectively last month.

These conditions show that industrial production has recovered steadily, the impact of external shocks such as epidemic situation has gradually subsided, production operation has been accelerated and improved, its role in supporting the economy has been enhanced, and the industrial upgrading and development trend has continued, which is conducive to improving the quality of industrial development. However, we should also see that the problem of poor connection between industrial production and marketing still exists, and some industries and enterprises have more difficulties, so it still needs continuous efforts to stabilize the industrial economy. In the next stage, it is necessary to implement various policies to help enterprises get rid of difficulties, strengthen logistics to ensure smooth flow, open up supply chain blockages in industrial chains, support enterprise innovation and development, and promote the smooth operation of industrial production. Thank you.

Shou Xiaoli:

One last question.

The picture shows Shou Xiaoli, deputy director and spokesperson of the State Council Information Office, inviting reporters to ask questions. (photo by Liu Jian)

National business daily reporter:

In April, the year-on-year growth rate of China’s total social zero reached the lowest point since the first half of this year. Since then, there has been a rebound trend in May and June. Does this mean that the inflection point of V-shaped consumption this year has passed? Is the rapid rebound of consumption related to the short-term stimulation of consumer vouchers in many places? How does the National Bureau of Statistics predict the consumption trend in the second half of the year? Thank you.

Fu Linghui:

Thank you for your question. Everyone is more concerned about consumption. Since the beginning of this year, consumption growth has been affected by many factors. In the first half of the year, due to the impact of frequent outbreaks, market sales declined, especially service consumption. In the first half of the year, the total retail sales of consumer goods decreased by 0.7% year-on-year. However, since May, with the effective control of the epidemic situation and the effective promotion of consumption policies, market sales have steadily rebounded. In May, the total social zero decreased by 6.7% year-on-year, and the decline narrowed by 4.4 percentage points. In June, the growth rate turned positive, with a year-on-year increase of 3.1%.

Judging from the situation in the first half of the year, the market sales mainly show the following characteristics:

First, the consumption of basic living increased rapidly. In the first half of the year, the retail sales of grain, oil, food and beverages increased by 9.9% and 8.2% respectively, and the basic living consumption of residents was guaranteed.

Second, online retail sales grew steadily. In the first half of the year, the online retail sales of physical goods increased by 5.6% year-on-year, accounting for 25.9% of the total retail sales of social consumer goods.

The third is the decline in service consumption. Affected by the epidemic, service consumption dropped significantly. In the first half of the year, catering revenue decreased by 7.7% year-on-year, and residents’ consumption of services such as travel and travel also decreased.

Judging from the situation in June, there has been a positive change in domestic market sales.

First, the growth rate of retail sales of most commodities rebounded. In June, nearly 90% of the retail sales of 18 categories of goods above designated size rebounded from last month, among which the growth rate of clothing and consumer goods rebounded obviously, and cosmetics and communication equipment increased by 8.1% and 6.6% respectively.

Second, the consumption of bulk commodities is obvious. Halving the purchase tax on passenger cars has promoted the introduction of consumption policies in key areas and improved the consumption of bulk commodities such as automobiles and home appliances. In June, the retail sales of automobiles, household appliances and audio-visual equipment of units above designated size increased by 13.9% and 3.2% respectively year-on-year, which was significantly higher than that of last month, driving the zero growth rate of social organizations in that month to exceed 1.5 percentage points.

Third, the consumption of services such as catering has improved significantly. With the gradual increase of residents’ out-going consumption, the service consumption improved. In June, the catering income decreased by 4% year-on-year, and the decline was 17.1 percentage points narrower than that of the previous month. The number of domestic tourists and the degree of income recovery during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday are obviously better than those during the May Day holiday.

Fourth, consumption in areas affected by the epidemic in the early stage rebounded rapidly. In June, the retail sales of goods above designated size in Shanghai decreased by 2.1% year-on-year, but the decline was 42 percentage points narrower than that in the previous month. Jilin grew by 5.5%, down by 1.5% last month.

Generally speaking, domestic consumption has withstood the impact of the epidemic since May, showing a rebound momentum, and positive changes have increased significantly. Although the recovery of consumption still faces some restrictive factors, such as the slow growth of residents’ income and the limited consumption scenarios, the trend of consumption scale expansion, consumption structure upgrading and consumption pattern innovation in China will not change, coupled with the continuous improvement of social security and the continuous efforts of the policy of stabilizing employment and promoting consumption, China’s consumption is expected to maintain a sustained recovery. Thank you.

Shou Xiaoli:

Thank you, Director Fu Linghui. Thank you, journalists and friends. Today’s press conference is over. Goodbye.

The strength and responsibility of the country’s heavy weapon —— Interpretation of the report card and road map of the reform and development of state-owned enterprises

  On the morning of January 17th, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council released statistics at the State Council Office: in 2017, the profits of central enterprises reached 1,423.08 billion yuan, exceeding 1.4 trillion yuan for the first time, up 15.2% year-on-year, and the increment and growth rate of economic benefits were the best in five years.

  Looking back on 2017, the transcripts of state-owned enterprise reform and development are bright; Looking forward to 2018, state-owned enterprises will continue to highlight the strength and responsibility of the country’s heavy weapons through deepening reforms.

  1. Yan value: new kinetic energy drives state-owned enterprises to develop with high quality.

  The "Huiyan" satellite traveled in space, the first domestic aircraft carrier was launched, two C919 large passenger planes were successfully tested, and the first trial mining of "combustible ice" in the sea area was successful. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the world’s longest sea-crossing bridge, was completed, and the "Fuxing" high-speed rail was put into operation & HELIP; … In 2017, these represent major breakthroughs in the forefront of science and technology in the world, and they are deeply engraved with the footprints of the central enterprises.

  Awesome, our state-owned enterprises.

  On January 8, 2017, the National Science and Technology Awards Conference was held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. 83 projects of 53 central enterprises won the National Science and Technology Progress Award, accounting for 35% of the total awards.

  The "double innovation" achievements of central enterprises are equally remarkable. By the end of 2017, 970 platforms of various types of "double innovation" have been built, and 271 physical incubators and science and technology industrial parks have been built, and 11 enterprises have become national "double innovation" demonstration bases.

  While the high-end breakthrough of state-owned enterprises has won applause around the world, the pace of upgrading and transformation of traditional industries is also accelerating. Using the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence, the digitalization, networking and intelligence level of manufacturing industry have been improved, which has greatly improved the operating efficiency and added value of traditional industries such as steel, coal, petroleum and petrochemical, non-ferrous metals and shipbuilding.

  "Scientific and technological innovation has accelerated the cultivation of emerging industries of central enterprises, accelerated the development of new kinetic energy, and driven central enterprises to improve quality and efficiency. The achievement of these achievements has laid a very solid foundation for the central enterprises to move towards high-quality development and achieve strength, Excellence and greatness. " On January 17th, Kuloko Shen, chief accountant of the State Council State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, said at the press conference of the State Council Office.

  In 2017, among the 98 central enterprises, the efficiency of 49 enterprises increased by more than 10% and that of 26 enterprises increased by more than 20%. Traditional industries such as petroleum, petrochemical, steel and coal have turned over and laid the foundation for the overall benefit growth; The benefits of advanced manufacturing and modern service industries have grown steadily, contributing more than 40% to the overall benefits of central enterprises; Ten state-owned capital investment and operation pilot enterprises accelerated the cultivation of strategic emerging industries, improved the efficiency of state-owned capital allocation, and the annual benefits increased by 31% year-on-year.

  2. Bones and muscles: Supply-side structural reform gives state-owned enterprises "slimming and fitness"

  On November 28th, 2017, a China company with four best in the world made its official debut in Beijing, which attracted the attention of the global energy industry. The National Energy Group established by the reorganization of "Guodian+Shenhua" is the largest coal production company, the largest thermal power generation company, the largest renewable energy power generation company and the largest coal-to-liquid and coal chemical company in the world.

  The establishment of the National Energy Group marks the key first step for China to make every effort to build a world-class comprehensive energy group with global competitiveness, and it is also a highlight of the reorganization and integration of central enterprises.

  According to Kuloko Shen, in the past year, the number of central enterprises supervised by SASAC has been adjusted to 98, and the way and intensity of reorganization and integration have been greatly improved. Through horizontal alliance, industry consolidation and professional reorganization, the asset allocation efficiency of enterprises has been further improved, and resources have been concentrated in advantageous enterprises.

  Supply-side structural reform is a major strategic decision made by the CPC Central Committee to cope with the new normal of economic development. Thanks to the deepening of supply-side structural reforms, in 2017, the highlights of structural optimization of central enterprises were outstanding.

  The data shows that in 2017, the central enterprises resolved 5.95 million tons of excess steel production capacity and 27.03 million tons of excess coal production capacity, actively eliminated, stopped construction and delayed construction of 51 coal-fired power projects, and the coal asset management platform company integrated coal production capacity of 100 million tons. One enterprise, one policy "dealing with difficulties" has obvious effect of reducing losses and increasing profits. More than 1,200 households have completed the task of "dealing with difficulties", of which about 400 households have cleared the market.

  Taking slimming, fitness, quality improvement and efficiency improvement as the starting point, we took the lead in solidly promoting the key tasks of "three to one, one reduction and one supplement", which effectively promoted the structural optimization, transformation and upgrading, quality improvement and efficiency improvement of central enterprises.

  From the annual reports of central enterprises, the efficiency of input and output is improving; The turnover efficiency of capital and goods is improving; The capital structure is being optimized. In terms of the distribution of enterprises, the number of enterprise groups with annual profits of more than 10 billion yuan by central enterprises reached 41, an increase of 4 over the same period of last year. The business ability of large enterprises is improving, and the leading role of improving the operation quality of large enterprises is improving.

  3. Connotation: Reform measures will be fully rolled out and developed in depth.

  The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward: "Deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises, develop a mixed ownership economy and cultivate world-class enterprises with global competitiveness."

  "The curtain of the new era of state-owned enterprises has been opened, and high-quality development is the main theme. Judging from last year’s situation, it is not difficult to achieve a high-speed growth in the profits of central enterprises this year. We must pay more attention to the efficiency improvement of state-owned capital and the decline in debt ratio, and accelerate the construction of a flexible and efficient market-oriented operating mechanism. " Li Jin, vice president of China Enterprise Reform and Development Research Association, said that 2018 is a big year of restructuring, and "mixed reform" will also develop in depth.

  In 2017, the mixed ownership reform of state-owned enterprises initially formed a breakthrough trend: pilot mixed reform was carried out in the fields of electric power, oil, natural gas, civil aviation, telecommunications and military industry, and more than 40 investors of various types were introduced with capital exceeding 90 billion yuan.

  In 2018, the "road map" for the reform of state-owned enterprises has been made clear, and efforts will be made to focus on eight key tasks such as supply-side structural reform and vigorously resolve excess capacity; We must focus on the implementation of reform measures and further promote breakthroughs in important areas and key links.

  The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) recently proposed that the reform pilot will move from single to comprehensive. In 2018, the reform pilot "Double Hundred Actions" will be implemented, and 100 subsidiaries of central enterprises and 100 local state-owned key enterprises will be selected to further promote comprehensive reform; Create a group of leading soldiers in reform and establish a post-evaluation mechanism for the implementation effect of reform measures. At the same time, preventing and resolving major risks is the top priority for state-owned enterprises to win the three major battles.

  In 2017, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) and central enterprises launched the work of reducing leverage, reducing liabilities and controlling risks in an all-round way, with overall improvement in quality and efficiency. By taking various measures to reduce leverage and reduce liabilities, the average asset-liability ratio of central enterprises at the end of last year was 66.3%, down 0.4 percentage points year-on-year; The asset-liability ratio of 62 enterprises decreased compared with the previous year, and the asset-liability ratio of 40 enterprises decreased by more than 1 percentage point.

  "Risk prevention and reform are complementary. If the intensity of reform is increased, it will help to prevent risks; At the same time, the achievements in preventing risks have also created conditions for further deepening reforms. " Kuloko Shen told reporters that in 2018, we will continue to intensify the reform of state-owned enterprises, especially in the operational mechanism, layout structure, supervision system of state-owned assets, and the cultivation of entrepreneurs.

  (Guangming Daily, Beijing, January 17th, by reporter zhang yi)

Pay the price! More than 8,000 people who failed in the exam were recorded.

  If time can go back, and go back to May 25th, Hu Lin (pseudonym) will not bring her mobile phone into the examination room again, and she will not take it for granted after being reminded to put it in the designated position.

  Unfortunately, all this can’t be repeated. Hu Lin’s name appeared in the "Notice on Handling Violation of Discipline in the 2019 Shandong Provincial Second-level Construction Engineer Qualification Examination (Qingdao Examination Area)". The result of disciplinary action showed that not only his own exam results in this subject were invalid, but also his unit was implicated and was punished with "2 points deducted from the assessment".

  What makes him even more difficult to let go is that this behavior has become a stain and entered the integrity archives of professional and technical personnel qualification examinations. "I really regret it too late." Even though more than half a year has passed, Hu Lin is still annoyed. He hopes that no one will make the same mistake again.

  Hu Lin is not alone. The reporter of "Legal Daily" recently learned from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security that since April 1, 2017, the Provisions on Handling Violations of Discipline in the Qualification Examination for Professional and Technical Personnel (Order No.31 of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security) was officially implemented, more than 8,000 people have been recorded into the integrity archives.

  Invalid treatment of forged academic registration

  Examination is an effective talent selection mechanism that has long been proved by practice. "Equal competition" is the soul of the examination system, and "fairness, openness and justice" is the core concept of the examination system.

  However, it is precisely because of the important interests such as personal future career development that some people always take risks.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, during the registration period of the first-class constructor and licensed pharmacist examination in 2019, some applicants used forged academic certificates before 2002 to register.

  Since the Ministry of Education only started to implement electronic registration of academic credentials in 2001 and opened the online inquiry system of academic credentials, there are still technical and time difficulties in authenticating academic credentials before 2002, which gives some people an opportunity to forge academic credentials.

  Wang Li (pseudonym), whose education does not meet the registration requirements, found an intermediary specializing in diploma business according to the small advertisement. The intermediary told her, "Don’t worry, this academic certificate is not easy to check online, and what we have done for you must be more true than true."

  From the appearance, the forged academic certificate obtained by Wang Li is complete with steel seal, official seal and principal’s signature, which is no different from the graduation certificate of regular colleges and universities. In the lower right corner of the certificate, there is also a certificate query URL. Of course, this website is fake.

  With a "foolproof" diploma, Wang Li failed to enter the examination room. Because similar problems have been noticed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. "We require local personnel examination institutions to carefully check and deal with the invalid registration of such personnel according to the requirements of work procedures." The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said.

  Cheating missed the benefits of decentralization.

  They paid more than that.

  According to Decree No.31 of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, candidates who have serious violations of discipline and discipline in the qualification examination of professional and technical personnel will be recorded in the integrity archives of the qualification examination of professional and technical personnel for a period of 5 years; Candidates who have particularly serious violations of discipline and discipline will be recorded in the integrity archives of professional and technical personnel qualification examination for a long time. However, the personnel who are recorded in the integrity archives are not applicable to the notification commitment system of certification matters.

  The system of notification and acceptance of certification matters refers to that when the administrative organ handles the licensing registration and other matters, it informs the parties of the certification obligations or certification conditions stipulated by laws and regulations in written form, and the applicant makes a written commitment, which has met these conditions, standards and requirements, and is willing to bear the legal responsibility of false commitment, so the administrative organ will no longer ask for certification and directly handle it. In the pilot launched in May this year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security was one of the five the State Council departments.

  Those who are recorded in the integrity archives will have no chance to benefit from the convenience provided by the state. As the saying goes, "it is convenient for the vast majority of trustworthy people and limited for a very small number of untrustworthy people."

  According to reports, in the implementation plan and work procedures of the pilot work, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has made provisions on the management of dishonesty in the pilot project of informing the professional and technical personnel of the qualification examination registration certificate, specifically: the applicants do not meet the conditions for applying for the examination, or fail to follow the qualification examination department (institution). If you request to apply for the relevant matters, you will be treated as invalid registration or invalid test results; Candidates who deliberately conceal the real situation, provide false promises or obtain corresponding qualification certificates or achievement certificates by other improper means are dealt with according to Order No.31 of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and recorded in the integrity archives of professional and technical personnel qualification examination.

  The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that the integrity archive of professional and technical personnel qualification examination was established by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. Examination integrity archives are included in the national credit information sharing platform, which provides inquiries to employers and the society, and relevant records serve as an important reference for the issuance and registration of professional qualification certificates and professional title evaluation of professional and technical personnel. "Examination institutions may, as the case may be, announce to the public the relevant information recorded in the examination integrity archives, and notify the unit where the parties are located. In the future, a blacklist system for untrustworthy candidates will be established, cross-departmental linkage response will be strengthened, and ‘ One place is broken and everywhere is limited ’ Joint disciplinary mechanism. "

  Organizational cheating faces criminal punishment.

  The qualification examination for professional and technical personnel is only an observation point, and almost all the examinations are inevitably dishonest cases such as cheating. However, it is worth noting that increasingly strict punishment is showing its deterrent power.

  In April this year, more than 20 provinces across the country conducted the 2019 civil service recruitment examination. Since May, many provinces have also disclosed the disciplinary situation of the civil service examination to the outside world at the same time or after announcing the results. Many candidates have been recorded in the integrity file of the civil service examination because of cheating, duplicate papers and other problems.

  For example, the Fujian Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security decided to "cancel the test scores and record them in the civil service examination and employment integrity archives for five years" for two people who used electronic devices such as mobile phones to shoot test papers during the examination.

  For another example, the Shaanxi Provincial Personnel Testing Center will treat 38 candidates who have general violations of discipline and discipline at the examination site as "the examination results of this subject are invalid" and warn them once. If the general violation of discipline occurs again, it will be recorded in the integrity file of civil service examination and employment.

  What needs to be vigilant is that even if you are not afraid of being cancelled or being recorded in the integrity file, some costs are still unbearable for exam cheaters. In September this year, the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate jointly issued the Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in Handling Criminal Cases such as Organizing Cheating in Examinations (hereinafter referred to as the Interpretation). According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, in the national examinations prescribed by law, those who organize cheating or provide cheating equipment or other assistance for others to commit the crime of organizing cheating constitute the crime of organizing cheating in examinations, and are sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and shall also or shall only be fined; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and shall also be fined.

  In October this year, in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, Zheng, who has a postgraduate degree, was sentenced to 1 year and 10 months in prison and fined 100,000 yuan for cheating in the "2018 first-class cost engineer professional qualification examination". What is embarrassing is that in 2007, he was sentenced to 8 months in prison by the court for deliberately revealing state secrets because he cheated in buying answers in the professional qualification examination of cost engineers.

  "I will never do anything opportunistic again." After the trial, Zheng shook his head and regretted it. I wonder if this time, he really has a long memory!

  Someone on the Internet asked, "What is the experience of cheating in exams?" Someone replied, "Experience? You can imagine the experience of an incurable disease, right Your life will collapse before your eyes! "

  A college teacher wrote this passage: "Cheating is a price to pay. Maybe you will be caught, recorded, treated with zero points, recorded in the file, and your degree will be cancelled; Maybe you will pass a course exam with minimal time cost. Maybe you will meet an invigilator like me who is lazy and makes his own rules. No matter what the outcome is, please be sure to remember your embarrassment when cheating, as well as the panic when you are caught and the fear when you are waiting to be dealt with, that is, the additional sunk cost when you are waiting to pay the bill.

New energy vehicles go to the countryside to speed up again

  Source: Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Cartography: Wang Zheping

  Recently, new energy vehicles have repeatedly received favorable policies for going to the countryside. The the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting stressed that it is necessary to boost large-scale consumption such as automobiles, electronic products and homes; The "Measures on Restoring and Expanding Consumption" proposes to implement policies such as building a high-quality charging infrastructure system, supporting new energy vehicles to go to the countryside, and continuing and optimizing vehicle purchase tax reduction and exemption for new energy vehicles; The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued opinions, calling for accelerating the construction of charging infrastructure and better supporting new energy vehicles to go to the countryside and rural revitalization; The Ministry of Commerce made it clear that the "Consumption Boosting Year" would focus on key areas, and organized the activity of new energy vehicles going to the countryside in thousands of counties and towns … …

  What is the implementation of relevant policies? How to better meet the needs of the masses? How to build a supporting service system? The launching ceremony of this year’s new energy vehicles going to the countryside was held in Jingmen, Hubei Province a few days ago. The reporter conducted an investigation here.

  — — Editor

  "I deliberately got up early on weekends, and there are still many people watching cars!" The 4S shop was crowded, and Li Chengwu and his wife followed the salespeople closely. The newlyweds, who live in Levin Town, Shayang County, Jingmen City, planned to buy a new energy car at the beginning of the year, so they have to make a good choice when they go to town this time.

  In June this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, and the National Energy Administration simultaneously launched the 2023 new energy vehicles going to the countryside in Wuxi, Jiangsu, Qionghai, Hainan, and Jingmen, Hubei. The model that Mr. and Mrs. Li Chengwu are interested in happens to be among them, and there are many discounts.

  The construction of charging piles goes ahead, and the market demand in counties and townships continues to be released.

  Why is China-Italy new energy vehicle? Li Chengwu and his wife calculated the account: buy a model with a battery life of 200 kilometers and charge it once a week to meet the daily travel needs; Using public fast charging facilities can save three or four thousand yuan a year compared with fuel vehicles.

  Convenient and affordable, it has become the main consideration for many customers to buy cars. Haodi Company is BYD’s general agent in Jingmen area. Chen Quan, sales manager, told reporters: "Recently, the company’s monthly turnover has stabilized at more than 200 vehicles, and many more customers have bought cars from counties and villages." It is understood that BYD originally had only two 4S stores in Jingmen, and now it is planning to open new stores in county-level cities such as Jingshan and Zhongxiang.

  Why should we promote new energy vehicles to the countryside? According to the study of electric vehicle travel in rural areas of China, by 2030, there will be nearly 160 vehicles with 1,000 people in rural areas of China, with a total of over 70 million vehicles, and the market scale may reach 500 billion yuan. Peng Yong, deputy director of Jingmen Economic and Information Bureau, said that the market penetration rate of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles is 15.9% and 10.4% in counties and villages of the city, which still has great growth potential compared with the central city.

  What is the first problem to be solved to stimulate growth potential? Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, believes that the construction of charging piles must be laid out in advance for new energy vehicles going to the countryside.

  When the reporter came to Levin Town, he met Dai Feilong, a new energy owner, in a parking lot: "Two years ago, there was a slow-filling pile in the town, and I bought a pure electric car. Now a new fast-filling pile has been built, which can be fully charged in less than an hour, which is more convenient. "

  Since 2021, State Grid Jingmen Power Supply Company has built charging facilities in 52 towns and villages in the city. This year, it has completed upgrading and expansion, and built 58 DC fast charging stations, equipped with 112 fast charging piles and 120 slow charging piles, which is the first in the province to achieve full coverage of fast charging piles in towns and villages. From January to June this year, the charging capacity of charging piles in Jingmen township increased by 182.33% year-on-year, ranking first in the province.

  "The charging piles at the entrances and exits of township expressways and popular tourist villages are used frequently, and we have added fast-filling piles." Huang Kai, head of the electric vehicle business of State Grid Jingmen Power Supply Company, believes that the charging infrastructure should be built in front, so that consumers can have no worries.

  When new energy vehicles enter the village, the demand for personal charging piles is greater. Not long ago, Yu Liangrui, a villager from Zengmiao Village, Zilingpu Town, Dongbao District, Jingmen City, applied for charging pile installation business on his mobile phone. On the same day, the staff of State Grid visited the site to complete the on-site investigation; Two days later, the charging pile was electrified. "Many families in rural areas have single-family houses and have enough space to install personal charging piles. This advantage makes it difficult for towns to compete. " Huang Kai said.

  Demand upgrade leads product iteration, and vehicle functionality is continuously enhanced.

  Set up tents, put up banners and put gifts … … In Macheng Town Square, Duodao District, Jingmen City, the off-line tour of new energy vehicles attracts residents to experience.

  For several years, Chen Quan first drove the demo car to the boundary far away from the city. "In less than half a day, the contact information of several interested customers has been added." Chen Quan said that there will be more exhibitions in towns and villages.

  Xiao Liu, a staff member of Macheng Industrial Park, bought a plug-in hybrid car two years ago. Now he is a little annoyed. "I should have bought pure electricity at the beginning." She found that the touring models not only have longer cruising range and faster charging speed, but also add practical new functions such as smart parking and digital keys.

  Compared with the early years when cars went to the countryside to mainly solve the problem of "whether there is", now with the improvement of consumption level, new energy vehicles have to solve the problem of "whether it is good or not". Chen Jintao, deputy director of the Economic and Information Bureau of Duodao District, exemplified that some middle-aged consumers are facing the demand for vehicle redemption, and whether the cruising range is sufficient is the main consideration; For young people who buy the first car, the new "gameplay" related to assisted driving and intelligent network connection is more attractive.

  The reporter consulted the catalogue of four rounds of new energy vehicles going to the countryside and found that only 10 companies and less than 20 models initially participated in the countryside, most of which were traditional car companies. This year, the number of models going to the countryside has increased to 69, which has opened up the distinction in terms of price, function and power, and some mid-to high-end models have also been included.

  Products are iterative with the upgrading of demand, and so are commercial vehicles. According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in 2022, the sales of new energy commercial vehicles in China accounted for about 1/10 of the total sales of commercial vehicles. The reporter learned that among commercial trucks, the micro-closed van that the masses call "micro-surface" is the mainstream model and is often used for short-distance logistics transportation.

  Liu Jun is a pure electric micro-surface user of Dongfeng Motor, who lives in Tuanlinpu Town, Duodao District. In the early morning, he drove agricultural products to the vegetable market in the city. In his spare time, he took orders to distribute food and department stores on the group buying and pulling platform, and traveled more than 100 kilometers every day. However, occasionally receiving a list of decoration building materials made him quite puzzled: "It is not easy to put a water pipe three or five meters long in the car. If only the cargo compartment were bigger. "

  For Liu Jun, the car should not only run fast but also save money and be reliable. Pan Chonggang, deputy director of the commodity planning department of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. said that the pure electric micro-surface currently sold by Dongfeng is based on the original passenger micro-surface "oil to electricity", and the loading capacity is limited. To this end, they decided to upgrade the product line and design a brand-new pure electric micro-surface model.

  The R&D team was stationed in rural areas of Zhejiang and Hubei to investigate the use scenarios such as express delivery into the village. "We found that the hillside into the village is slippery, and the car should have good handling stability and sufficient power; In order to facilitate loading and unloading, the volume of the cargo compartment should be increased to at least 5 to 6 cubic meters, and spacious side doors and tailgates are needed. " Pan Chonggang said, "The new pure electric micro-surface car has been tested and is planned to go on the market next year."

  The supply of affordable vehicles needs to be strengthened, and shortcomings such as after-sales maintenance need to be filled.

  From urban areas to counties, towns and villages, with the gradual sinking of the market, consumers need different models. The reporter found in the interview that the cruising range of 300 kilometers is too short for some urban consumers, but it may be too long in the village — — Many villagers make a living by farming or small businesses, and are unwilling to pay for miles they don’t need.

  Zheng Peng, secretary-general of Hubei Electric Vehicle Circulation Association, said that the models purchased by county and township consumers are mainly A00-class mini new energy vehicles and A0-class small new energy vehicles, accounting for about 60% to 70%, and the price ranges from 50,000 to 80,000 yuan.

  "For some consumers who only need to travel instead of walking, electric three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles are more attractive; For fellow villagers with production needs, the cargo capacity of new energy trucks is generally small, and there are not many optional brands of commercial vehicles such as pickup trucks, light trucks and micro-noodles. " Zheng Peng suggested that relevant enterprises should reduce costs and increase efficiency from product design, supply chain and other aspects, develop more "explosive" products for the rural market, and constantly explore the market "blue ocean".

  What aspects can be improved to promote new energy vehicles to the countryside?

  The charging facilities in township areas are scattered, and the construction and management costs are high. Huang Kai opens the monitoring page of the charging station in the operation center of State Grid Vehicle Networking Platform on the computer, and four colored circles indicate the utilization rate, failure rate, offline rate and charging success rate of the station. He admits that in the past year, the supply of slow filling piles in towns and villages in the city has exceeded demand, and the utilization rate is generally not high; However, in the peak period of returning home such as the Spring Festival, the demand for fast filling piles is in short supply.

  According to estimates, according to the calculation of adding 6,000 new energy vehicles every year in Jingmen City, the centralized charging load in the city will reach 250,000 kilowatts in 2030. "There are more and more users installing personal charging piles now. Adding a slow-filling pile is equivalent to adding four 1.5-horse air conditioners, which greatly improves the requirements for transformer capacity. " Huang Kai is worried that the relatively weak rural power grid is difficult to load.

  At the same time, the blocking point of after-sales maintenance also needs to be cleared. Some car owners report that many auto repair shops can’t repair new energy vehicles. Zheng Peng introduced that the maintenance of fuel vehicles is mainly mechanical maintenance, while the maintenance of new energy vehicles is mainly in battery circuits, and having an electrician’s operation certificate is the basic threshold. At present, there is a market gap of more than 40% for technicians who are proficient in "three electricity" maintenance such as batteries, motors and electronic control systems.

  Focusing on the bottleneck problem that restricts new energy vehicles from going to the countryside, relevant measures are being improved from top-level design to local practice. The "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Charging Infrastructure to Better Support New Energy Vehicles to the Countryside and Rural Revitalization" puts forward 11 specific measures in three aspects, and strives to promote new energy vehicles to the countryside by moderately advancing the construction of charging infrastructure and optimizing the purchase and use environment of new energy vehicles. "Some vocational schools in Hubei Province have set up new energy auto repair majors, and the Provincial Electric Vehicle Circulation Association is also carrying out new energy auto repair technician training business, and plans to jointly develop and launch new energy vehicle battery maintenance standards with insurance companies." Zheng Peng said that the road will be smoother when new energy vehicles go to the countryside.
