Chen Yingming, a 95-year-old master of aviation painting, died, and the drawing error never exceeded 5%

  Chen Yingming hand-painted the Ten Fighters

  Young Chen Yingming

  I have been reading aviation knowledge magazines since middle school, and I have been reading Chen Lao’s paintings and articles. I visited Chen Lao several years ago because of the story of a China pilot. After several visits, it was rare to have a good conversation with Chen Lao in his hometown Cantonese. I am grateful to know him and learn a lot.

  — — Hong Kong director Chen Jiashang told the Chengdu Business Daily reporter about his contacts with Chen Lao on the Internet.

  Teacher Chen Yingming pioneered aviation painting for a generation, inspiring countless people’s aviation dreams — — Including me. Deeply cherish the memory of teacher Chen Yingming.

  — — Dai Xiaopeng, a model airplane man in Beijing

  I recall that my teacher and I talked about aviation allusions all night, made coffee, went to KFC, looked through historical files at our desks and doodled airplanes … … Still vivid, unforgettable. What a fatherly teacher left me was the truth of being a man and the method of studying. Have a good trip, teacher!

  — — Jiangdong, Shanghai aviation history expert and model maker.

  A pen, depicting the waves in the sky.

  A pair of hands, so that the precision aircraft can be seen.

  A volume of history tells the history of aviation in China for a hundred years.

  Years are advancing with the times, and the hero is dying. At the age of 95, Chen Yingming, a model airplane master, left his lifelong career on the 14th and returned to the blue sky he yearned for most.

  The master of aviation art was an early participant in the construction of aviation industry in New China. He was well known as an expert in aviation history, an aviation painter and a model airplane designer. Until the moment he left, he never stopped searching for the aviation history of China.

  Fighters, bombers and transport planes & HELIP; … Various planes in different periods in the history of aviation development are vivid in Chen Yingming’s works. His aviation paintings, accompanied by the growth of a generation, exist in the form of a "textbook", which makes many young people look to the sky.

  Netizen remembers

  Inspired by his paintings

  A group of people joined the aviation industry.

  At 5: 05 on April 14th, Chen Yingming passed away and said goodbye to Chengdu, where he lived for most of his life. His son Chen Dabo wanted to follow the wishes of the old man and keep everything simple, but the news spread like wildfire, and Chen Lao students, aviation enthusiasts and aviation history researchers from all over the world forwarded and cherished it.

  A military fan netizen told the reporter that he and many friends grew up watching Chen Lao’s plane diagram. "His spread of aviation knowledge in China has influenced a group of people to join the aviation industry.".

  Chen Yingming has a large number of admirers, and even Hong Kong director Chen Jiashang visited Chen Yingming’s home in Chengdu several times. In 2016, he published Aviation Knowledge and a recent photo of Chen Lao in Weibo, and mentioned that "this is my favorite magazine when I was young, and I regard all kinds of illustrations in it as treasures. Talk to him (Chen Lao) about the history of China Air Force, and have fun. ". On January 24 this year, he once again took a photo with Chen Lao and wished the elderly a happy Spring Festival. Last night, after learning the news of the old man’s death, he sent Weibo to express his condolences. "Teacher, go well." It is understood that Chen Jiashang is going to shoot a film about the air combat against Japan, hoping that Chen Lao can help improve the script and provide advice and guidance.

  At the end of life

  Give the manuscript to the students

  Tell them to continue their research.

  Chen Dabo, the only son of Chen Yingming, is 67 years old. He told the Chengdu Business Daily reporter that at the end of last year, the old man had surgery for bladder stones, and later he had a lung infection. After leaving the hospital, he didn’t eat much, and his life was difficult to take care of himself. Chen Dabo proposed to send the elderly to a maintenance center with medical functions, but it was difficult for the elderly to give up a room full of information in their small house, which was integrated into their lifelong efforts.

  It was not until March that the old man promised to go to the maintenance center. In the last period of his life, the old man also instructed the students to sort out the manuscripts and materials at home. Zhong Yihui is Chen Yingming’s most trusted student. "His memory is super strong. Even if his words are unclear, he has a clear memory of some anti-Japanese war history and air combat figures."

  Before his death, Chen Yingming gave some information to Zhong Yihui, asking him to "further sort it out and make good use of it". Zhong Yihui mentioned that Chen Lao’s unfinished business is to let more people participate in aviation research and propaganda, let more people be willing to engage in aircraft design and manufacturing, and let our aviation equipment and aviation industry truly take the lead in the world.

  For Chen Dabo, it is a pity that his father did not leave himself a model plane and an aerial painting. Chen Yingming once entrusted his grandson to donate dozens of aerial paintings to Tsinghua University, but only left his son a manuscript and some handwritten music scores.

  His pursuit

  Insisting on staying in Chengdu has his youth and career here.

  Participate in the preparation of a flying factory.

  Set up an airplane model room

  Chen Yingming was originally from Guangdong, and his grandfather was an overseas Chinese in Vietnam. In February 1923, Chen Yingming was born in Hanoi, Vietnam. At the age of seven, the French held an industrial exhibition in Hanoi, and Chen Yingming devoted his eyes to the three biplanes in the exhibition hall. This "encounter" made him obsessed with describing airplanes and making model airplanes, which formed an indissoluble bond with the aviation industry and became his lifelong pursuit.

  In 1949, Chen Yingming came to Guangzhou and later joined civil aviation. In 1952, Chen Yingming was transferred to Taiyuan Civil Aviation Repair Factory and participated in the production of the first self-designed airplane model engine "5138" in New China.

  In 1956, Chen Yingming was transferred to the preparatory office of Chengdu New Factory of the Ministry of Aviation to prepare for Chengdu Aircraft Factory (now China Aviation Industry Chengfei Company). In 1958, after Chengfei Factory was officially launched, he set out to set up an "aircraft model room". Here, he trained the second and third generation model makers of Chengfei Factory. Later, Chen Lao was transferred to Qingjiang Instrument Factory (now China Aviation Industry Chengdu Kaitian Electronics Co., Ltd.). According to his students’ memories, during this period, Chen Yingming also participated in the successful design and production of the first aerometer pitot tube, the second aerometer magnetic compass and the third aerometer altimeter in New China.

  Zhong Yihui mentioned that many relatives of Chen Yingming are overseas, and some relatives asked him to live overseas, but he insisted on staying in Chengdu. "There is his youth here, a career he loves, and he is used to life in Chengdu." Chen Dabo explained.

  It takes 17 years

  Compile the history of aircraft in China.

  After retirement, Chen Yingming still likes to stay in the study, collecting and sorting out information. He once spent 17 years working with other domestic scholars to compile the first history of aircraft development in China’s aviation for a hundred years. Downturn to version 02

  He is good at blowing, pulling and playing, and will make coffee for every visitor.

  His life

  Chen Dabo did not inherit his father’s career, but his choice was also influenced by his father. Before retiring, Chen Dabo was engaged in music teaching in Sichuan Conservatory of Music. At the age of six, Chen Dabo learned to play the violin with his father and went to the factory to perform. "I play the violin and he plays the guitar." Chen Dabo recalled that his father had an art troupe in the factory that year. He was good at trumpet, violin and cello.

  In leisure time, the old people like to sit down and drink coffee and eat western food, which is influenced by their early life. Chen Yingming’s second apartment in Chengdu has received many aviation enthusiasts. "As long as you go to the elderly, the elderly will give visitors a cup of coffee." Zhong Yihui said, "He likes to communicate and share with young people."

Hua Fu Securities: The folding screen terminal is developing rapidly, and the screen and hinge market scale are expected to fully benefit.

Zhitong Finance APP learned that Hua Fu Securities released a research report saying that according to IDC data, the shipment of folding screen smartphones in China in the third quarter increased by 90% year on year. It is noteworthy that Huawei still maintains a market share of 31.7% and continues to be "far ahead" in the folding screen mobile phone market in China. As the best-selling model in Q3, Glory MagicV2 effectively helped Glory gain a market share of 15.1% in the first three quarters. Hua Fu Securities believes that the performance improvement of folding screen terminals is related to the technological progress of two key components-screen and hinge. As differentiated components in folding screen mobile phones, their market scale is expected to fully benefit with the sales growth of folding screens.

Suggest to pay attention to the target:

Technical aspects of cover material:It is suggested to pay attention to the domestic technical progress of core raw materials and their processing technology.Kaisheng Technology (600552.SH), Changxin Technology (300088.SZ), Ruihuatai (688323.SH), etc.

Structural parts:It is suggested to pay attention to the continuous iteration of related materials and their supporting processing technologies.Furong Technology (603327.SH), Dongmu Co., Ltd. (600114.SH), Jingyan Technology (300709.SZ), Tonglian Precision (688210.SH), Golden Sun (300606.SZ), Yuhuan CNC (002903.SZ), etc.

Folding screen terminals are developing rapidly, and Huawei’s glory is outstanding.

According to DSCC data, in Q3 of 2023, the global shipment of folding screen smartphones increased by 16% year-on-year. Among the mobile phone brand manufacturers, Samsung still ranks first in the global market, but its shipments have declined year-on-year, while most domestic brands have maintained a growth trend. As for the China market, according to IDC data, its year-on-year growth rate reached 90% in the third quarter. It is noteworthy that Huawei still maintains a market share of 31.7% and continues to be "far ahead" in the folding screen mobile phone market in China. As the best-selling model in Q3, Glory MagicV2 effectively helped Glory gain a market share of 15.1% in the first three quarters. With the development of folding technology, in addition to the mobile phone market, many well-known brand manufacturers have also begun to lay out folding products in the tablet and notebook market, striving to create unprecedented new high-end products.

The fuselage is thin and light, and the price is close to the people

According to the user feedback of folding mobile phones, the thin grip is the primary factor that affects the user experience. At the same time, in order to enhance the market competitiveness of folding screen mobile phones, brand manufacturers are constantly optimizing their cost structure. According to the data of iResearch, from 2021 to Q3 of 2023, the average body thickness of the main horizontal folding screen mobile phones in the market decreased from 15.1mm to 11.1mm, and the average weight decreased from 289.2g to 252.4g, among which Glory V.
Purse mobile phone takes the lead in bringing the folding screen mobile phone into the "millimeter era" with its body thickness of 8.6 mm.

In terms of the selling price of the whole machine, from 2020 to Q3 in 2023, the average selling price of the mobile phone with horizontal folding screen decreased from 14,032 yuan to 9,942 yuan, and the average selling price of the mobile phone with vertical folding screen decreased from 8,294 yuan to 6,766 yuan, with an overall decrease of nearly 30%, while glory V.
The price of Purse dropped to 5,999 yuan, which greatly reduced the migration cost for users in flagship machine to switch folding screen phones.

Differentiated components continue to iterate, and the sales scale is expected to fully benefit.

The performance improvement of folding screen terminal is related to the technical progress of two key components-screen and hinge.On the screen,With the progress of materials and production technology, UTG and CPI have become commercialized cover solutions. Among them, UTG cover material has development potential in the small and medium-sized folding screen market, while CPI can better exert its fist on the large and medium-sized folding screen.In terms of hinges,After several iterations, its performance is evolving in the direction of more natural folding and shallower crease. At the same time, with the participation of titanium alloy materials, the overall weight of the hinge has been optimized to some extent. Whether it is screen cover or hinge, as differentiated components in folding screen mobile phones, its market scale is expected to fully benefit with the sales growth of folding screens.

Risk warning:The technical iteration of folding screen mobile phone industry chain is less than expected, and the consumer electronics boom is less than expected.

Li Keqiang cultivates "double innovation ecosystem": China is becoming a global "maker paradise"

  Giving up a high-paying job in San Francisco and starting a business in Shenzhen, China, Canadian Lawrence’s choice won the support of many friends around him.

  "They are very envious when they know that I am coming to China, because they think that China has the most imaginative market at present." Lawrence said, "The atmosphere of entrepreneurial innovation in China is very strong, and you have unlimited possibilities to achieve what you want to do."

  In fact, more and more overseas "makers" choose to come to China just like Lawrence, and what attracts them is the "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" advocated by Premier China.

  Go to China to start a business! ",the British" Financial Times "website that noticed this phenomenon reported on this topic. "Economist" magazine also said: "Shanzhai merchants are gone, and innovators are coming!" Taking Shenzhen as an example, the report points out that it is attracting all kinds of entrepreneurs around the world who are trying to make new products in new ways. Invention and innovation are transforming the whole Pearl River Delta into an advanced manufacturing cluster.

  Chen Siyu, Commercial Officer of the Swedish Consulate General in Shanghai, said that Sweden is a "country of innovation", and there are about 20,000 start-ups with a total population of 10 million. However, in recent years, Swedish entrepreneurs have come to China one after another, because most of them have to rely on their own development to start their own businesses in Sweden. In China, the government has invested a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to support entrepreneurial innovation, and with a relatively complete industrial chain in all walks of life, it is called "maker’s paradise".

  "internet plus" faces the whole world, and foreigners find new opportunities in China.

  "China is vigorously promoting ‘ Internet plus & rsquo; This is itself global. " On June 28th, Premier Li Keqiang’s statement during the dialogue and exchange with the representatives of international business circles attending the Davos Forum in the summer of 2017 was regarded as a "strong signal" released to foreign businessmen.

  China’s booming "internet plus" and consumption upgrading have already made more and more foreigners see the business opportunities of starting new businesses. And China’s superior "double innovation" environment is making their entrepreneurial dream come true.

  German Alberton founded Zanado Company in China, which not only provided online travel booking service, but also opened an offline VR experience store, bringing travelers a 360-degree virtual travel experience. Alberton said that China people are willing to "try early", while it may take 10 years for the United States and Europe to accept these.

  Lan Jili, founder of Vitas, a game and entertainment production company, believes that the China government is very friendly to entrepreneurs, and "we have the opportunity to bring new technologies into China". Jared, founder of R2Games, said: "In the era of mobile Internet, it is safe to say that China is ahead of Americans in this area. For a global Internet company, the opportunity is now in China. It won’t happen anywhere else, it can only happen here. "

  It takes two years in the United States and only half a year in China. China is the first choice for hardware entrepreneurship.

  The Economist also found that China is rewriting another rule, that is, embracing open innovation. Taking Shenzhen as an example, the report points out that China’s open innovators are not secretive, but are committed to providing solutions for the public. Analysts pointed out that the "double-innovation ecosystem" formed by the integration of China’s policy support and complete industrial chain is unmatched by many other countries.

  The world’s thinnest folding full-color touch screen produced by Rouyu Technology Co., Ltd. needs a lot of "integrated innovation" and "maker" ecosystems from early research to finished products. Bill Liu, the founder of the company, said that when he set out to establish Rouyu, it was clear that the company had to establish itself in Shenzhen to be successful.

  Jenny Lee, an investor in the hardware industry and a partner of GGV capital (GGV), said that in Shenzhen, it takes only half a year for a hardware startup to turn a concept into a product, which usually takes two years in the United States. When Revols, a Canadian "maker", tried to develop economical customized headphones in Montreal, he found that things there were slow and expensive. After he moved the company to Shenzhen, he quickly made a prototype and the product has been put into production.

  "China’s already blazing pace of innovation is still accelerating!" The Economist said. Many multinational companies have set up "observation posts" in China to pay close attention to the latest trends here. Shenzhen, China has become one of the global innovation centers of intelligent manufacturing, and is favored by all kinds of "makers".

  Scientific research results can land, and scientists bring "black technology"

  Many foreign "makers" said that overseas, many "black technologies" are only academic achievements, but coming to China, which is full of possibilities, can make it a reality.

  Professor Wusi Kaelte, an academician of the European Academy of Sciences, believes that China’s government and industry are actively promoting the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, and starting a business in China is the best opportunity for its research results to land. The scientist in the field of artificial intelligence set up the Institute of Know Infinite Artificial Intelligence in Beijing in May this year, and cooperated with JD.COM, BOE and other enterprises to help China enterprises build an innovative ecosystem in the fields of AI visual recognition and translation.

  Liu Huijun, dean of the School of Electronic Engineering of the Korean Academy of Sciences, also settled in Dongguan with the whole team. Its "black technology" AI-AR smart glasses will be mass-produced locally, which can realize remote precision maintenance of automobiles and airplanes. As long as the staff wear this kind of smart glasses, they can see the maintenance scene and remotely maintain it. In the process, they can also see the analysis of the fault made by AI behind the glasses.

  In the article calling for starting a business in China, the Financial Times website wrote that overseas entrepreneurs who have successfully started a business in China have pointed out a new path for young people who are interested in starting a business.

  As Premier Li Keqiang said: "Our entrepreneurial innovation is open. We should sum up experience and attract enterprises from more countries to come with capital, technology and talents, so as to achieve a win-win situation in cooperation." (Beijing News special correspondent Mu Yi)

Media criticism of China football has caused fans to laugh at it. It is a hot topic that you can’t miss at 7 am.

Recently, there has been a "AFC Champions League" in China football circle, and the Super League team won all the matches in this round, which made China football fans shine at the moment. However, at this exciting moment, some people began to worry about the goal of domestic players, which made people feel a little surprised. Among them, Ran Xiongfei’s comments caused great controversy. He said that the team’s victory in three games was a shot in the arm, and it was completely nonsense to worry that domestic players scored less goals. What he seems to want to express is that in a team, everyone should contribute to the victory, not worry about who scores the goal. Of course, some fans don’t agree with this view. They think that if foreign aid always occupies the forefront of the scorer list, the room for improvement of local players will be limited.

However, is this idea too narrow? As a team, victory is the most important thing, and everyone should strive for it. In addition, we must not forget that local players also need time to grow up, and they need to improve their strength through youth training. Nowadays, the adult players have been finalized, but we can improve the overall level of football in China by cultivating young players. If we only pay attention to the immediate results and ignore the future development, then China football may never catch up with other countries. Therefore, let’s put aside our worries about the number of goals scored and take practical actions for the development of football in China.

Let us believe that as long as everyone tries their best, China football will surely usher in a more brilliant future.

China launches a super satellite: high-speed Internet access will be realized on the plane’s high-speed rail.

  CCTV News:The geostationary communication satellite represents the development level of a country’s satellite communication. It is an important resource that constitutes the foundation of the information superhighway and an important embodiment of a country’s comprehensive strength and technical level.

  People who often travel in China know that mobile phones and notebooks can’t get on the Internet on flying planes and ocean-going ships. Similarly, on high-speed high-speed trains, mobile phone signals are intermittent. However, with the development of a new generation of communication satellites in China, full coverage of online chatting, ocean-going video entertainment and remote mountain signals will become a reality.

  China’s independent research and development technology breaks the monopoly of foreign air communication

  Maritime video will no longer be a dream.

  On April 12, 2017, China successfully launched the Shijian-13 satellite in xichang satellite launch center using the long march 3b. After completing the on-orbit test, the satellite was named Zhongxing-16.This is the first Qualcomm communication satellite in China, with a total communication capacity of over 20G, which truly realizes the broadband application of autonomous communication satellites.

  Zhang Wei, Senior Engineer of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:The development of Qualcomm measurement technology represents that we are now on the ground, and you can use our satellite to realize video. Originally, only one voice communication function can be realized. Now we can video, so there is still a great application direction, that is, our aircraft. This is the first time that China has used Ka-band broadband communication technology on communication satellites.

  Satellite capacity is actually like a highway. The original C-band and Ku-band capacity of communication satellites can only accommodate two cars at the same time, and the cargo they can carry, that is, information and data, is limited. However, the capacity of Ka-band satellite is much larger, it can drive 10 or more cars on the road at the same time, and the amount of information and data it can carry far exceeds that of other frequency bands.The breakthrough of this technology means that broadband internet access can be realized anytime and anywhere through communication satellites in the future, especially in areas that cannot be covered by ground communication networks, as well as on aircraft, high-speed rail, ships and other means of transportation.

  Zhang Wei:Now everyone on the plane knows that communication can’t be realized. After the technology of HTS (Qualcomm Communication Satellite) is popularized in the future, we can also realize our communication on the plane based on satellites, including high-speed rail, ships and so on. HTS is a very popular application direction.

  Zhang Wei told reporters that relying on Qualcomm’s satellite communication technology, a satellite broadband communication network will be built in the future. By then, no matter whether you are in an airplane at an altitude of 10,000 meters, a high-speed high-speed train, or a ship in the vast sea, or a deserted desert, deep mountain or island, you can browse the network and make video calls at high speed.

  At present, the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group has developed satellite mobile communication terminal products for outdoor, high-speed rail, ships and other aspects based on the Qualcomm satellite of Zhongxing 16. The original satellite communication terminals, limited by satellite design, are relatively large in size, and are generally installed on buildings or large vehicles.Now, relying on Qualcomm satellite, the terminal receiving device of communication satellite can be miniaturized, and ordinary household SUV can be installed.Zhang Ge, a senior engineer of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, demonstrated a portable satellite broadband communication system for reporters. This system has the function of one key to the satellite, and can quickly connect the network when the ground communication network is damaged or interrupted in the earthquake-stricken area.

  In addition to this portable satellite broadband communication system, the team led by Zhang Ge is still developing satellite broadband communication systems for high-speed trains and ocean-going ships.

  Zhang Ge, Senior Engineer of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:At present, our equipment supports more than 500 people, that is, if you install such a device on a luxury oil tanker, all the people on board can access the Internet directly via satellite by taking your ordinary mobile phone and connecting to the ship’s WIFI.

  Combining technical test with demonstration application, Zhongxing-16 carried out high-speed laser communication test on the geosynchronous orbit satellite for the first time, with the highest speed of 2.4 G.. Satellite laser communication has the advantages of large communication capacity, long transmission distance and good confidentiality. If the test is successful, it marks that China has reached the international advanced level in this field.

  On August 6th, 2016, China successfully launched Tiantong-1 satellite 01 in xichang satellite launch center, which is the first star of China satellite mobile communication system, also known as the "China version of maritime satellite", and its successful launch marks that China has entered the "mobile phone era" of satellite mobile communication.

  After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, the ground communication network in the earthquake zone was completely paralyzed. At that time, China did not have its own mobile communication satellite system, so it could only rent foreign satellite phones for earthquake relief. The international mobile satellite system has formed a number of global or regional mobile communication systems, which are not only widely used in personal communication, ocean transportation, offshore fishing, air passenger transport and other fields, but also can realize barrier-free communication and determine the location in the case of natural disasters such as earthquake, flood and frost. After the Wenchuan earthquake, Tiantong No.1 was established.

  The reporter learned that the technical indicators and capabilities of Tiantong-1 satellite have reached the level of international mainstream mobile communication satellites, and it has completely independent intellectual property rights. In particular, Tiantong-1 satellite has solved the technical problem of deploying an oversized antenna, making the satellite telephone terminal used on the ground more miniaturized and mobile.

  The selfless dedication of several generations of researchers has been passed down from generation to generation.

  Make China’s satellite industry from scratch. From lagging behind to leading

  In recent years, our communication satellites have been successfully launched and put into use, covering the cutting-edge technologies and applications in the development of communication satellites, such as broadcast and television live broadcast, Qualcomm broadband satellite, mobile communication satellite and data relay satellite. Looking back, when we started to develop satellites, we were not only poor. Moreover, the foundation is weak. Under such conditions, our researchers insisted on self-reliance and selfless dedication, and finally embarked on a road of research and development of China communication satellites. Although this road was not smooth, it also experienced setbacks and hardships.

  In the exhibition hall of the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group, real products from Dongfanghong-1 to Dongfanghong-4 satellites are displayed, which have witnessed the development of communication satellites in China.

  Dongfanghong-1 was China’s first artificial earth satellite developed by the older generation of space scientists and technicians through self-reliance under the conditions of poverty and weak economic and technological foundation at that time. Due to the limitation of technical level at that time, it did not have communication function.

  Zhang Wei, Senior Engineer of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:After the success of this satellite, it actually created a precedent for our country’s artificial earth satellite, but its significance only reflects from scratch, so our satellite will be put into use after all.

  After the successful launch of Dongfanghong-1, in order to make the communication satellite truly practical, the older generation of space science and technology personnel, represented by Sun Jiadong and Qi Faren, established the belief of "developing China people’s own communication satellite on their own". After nine years of hard work, Dongfanghong-2 communication satellite was finally developed successfully. On April 8, 1984, Dongfanghong-2 experimental communication satellite was successfully launched, making China the fifth country in the world to independently develop and launch geostationary orbit satellites.

  Constrained by the technical level of electronic component development and material science research at that time, Dongfanghong-2 satellite had a small load and a short service life. The C-band transponder of the satellite had only two channels, while the C-slope transponder of the international advanced communication satellite had reached 24 channels at that time, and its service life was as long as ten years.

  Zhang Wei:At that time, the power it could provide was very small, because there were so many solar cells, so it could provide so much power. Therefore, at that time, the on-orbit life of our country’s communication satellites was relatively short, that is, five years, and the effective power it could provide was very low, so the so-called transponder number was just a few transponders.

  The main load of communication satellite is transponder, and one transponder can transmit more than ten sets of standard definition TV programs. The greater the load of communication satellite, the more transponders, which means that more radio and TV programs can be transmitted and more communication capacity can be provided. Zhang Wei told reporters that because Dongfanghong No.2 could not meet the needs of customers at that time, there was also a debate about "buying stars" or "making stars" in China. Under the circumstances at that time, astronauts had no choice but to develop Dongfanghong-3 satellite according to the international level at that time under the condition of weak technical foundation and poor facilities.

  Zhang Wei:Dongfanghong-2 is a spin-stabilized satellite. By Dongfanghong-3, we have a three-axis stabilized satellite. With the adoption of the solar wing, the technology has a great leap forward, and we can only inherit about 20% of the technical foundation of Dongfanghong-2, and the remaining 80% is based on the independent innovation of our astronauts in China.

  From the national project in 1986 to the successful launch of Dongfanghong-3 satellite in 1997, researchers have solved hundreds of technical difficulties in 11 years, gnawed down more than ten "hard bones" and experienced the pain of the first satellite launch failure. Dongfanghong-3 satellite not only achieved a leap in the development technology of communication satellites in China, but also provided a highly reliable communication satellite platform for China’s space industry.

  In 2000, Dongfanghong-4, aiming at the international first-class level, began to be developed. The design life of the satellite platform was increased to 15 years, and the number of transponders carried was increased to 52. At that time, the market goal of Dongfanghong-4 communication satellite was not only to occupy the domestic market, but also to go out and seize the international market.

  While researching and developing the communication satellite platform of Dongfanghong-4, they are also exploring the market of Dongfanghong-4. In May 2002, they signed a purchase order contract for Xinnuo-2 satellite with Xinnuo Satellite Communication Co., Ltd.; In May, 2004, he participated in the bidding for the whole satellite development and launch project of Nigeria Communication No.1 satellite, and stood out from 21 companies including the United States, France and Britain, and won the bid successfully.

  Zhang Wei:Dongfanghong-4 satellite, its weight reached 5 to 5.5 tons, and its load capacity reached about 600 kilograms. This level was actually at the same level as the international advanced level at that time, so through Dongfanghong-4, we actually realized a transformation process from following to running together.

  In 2010, focusing on the demand of high-power communication satellites in the next 20 years, a new generation of Dongfanghong-5 satellite with high load, high power, long life and expandability began to be developed. At the same time, the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group is also tracking the most advanced technology in the world and expanding the technical level of the original satellite platform. In order to improve the payload of communication satellites, they have to make the electronic system smaller and smaller.

  Gong Jianglei, deputy director designer of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group: These products are actually a hardware product based on the integrated electronic system on our entire communication satellite.Now these four products have actually replaced more than 20 previous products. The previous products were relatively large in quantity and volume, and we have reduced them by about 50%, which is also a relatively leading level in the whole world.

  It is an inevitable choice for the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group to follow the world’s leading technology and achieve technological transcendence in some technical fields. After graduating from Ph.D. in 2008, Chen Yue came to the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group to be responsible for the control and promotion of communication satellites. Just after working for more than two years, he proposed to the institute the research on electromagnetic propulsion of communication satellites without working medium, which was still controversial at that time.

  Chen Yue, deputy director designer of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:Everyone’s main doubt is that this technology may be scientifically researched and developed in engineering before it is fully explained. Is it risky or is there a principled error? This is the main controversy.

  Communication satellites in space need to adjust their attitude and maintain their orbits, so satellites will carry a lot of propellant. The traditional chemical propulsion method is to generate thrust by propellant oxidation. At present, the electric propulsion method used in satellites is to ionize the carried working medium gas, and then spray the plasma to generate thrust. Both of these propulsion methods need to carry working medium, that is, propellant and gas.

  Chen Yue:Figuratively speaking, these liquids or gases stored in the tank, once these working fluids are used up, the engine can no longer be used, and its life is up. And our current propulsion mode, this electromagnetic propulsion, is that as long as there is electricity, as long as the equipment can work normally, it can work and generate thrust.

  There is no technology and experience to learn from, and there is no reference to any foreign materials. This technology is in the initial stage of technical experiment at home and abroad, and Chen Yue and his team are facing great challenges.

  In order to encourage young people to innovate, the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group set up a special fund for R&D and a special fund for doctoral growth to give financial support. Moreover, the core R&D personnel were not assessed for three years, and they were given strong support in personnel and experimental equipment to ensure that they concentrated on technical research.

  Chen Yue:Through the independent research and development fund of the Science and Technology Committee of our institute and the independent research and development fund in our institute, we can support us, so that we can focus on this matter without worrying about the guarantee of conditions. It can be said that this is like an incubation. If there were no such incubation conditions at the beginning, we would not have this progress.

  The reporter learned that at present, many key technologies of Dongfanghong-5 satellite platform, which represents that China’s communication satellites have reached the international leading level, have made major breakthroughs and need to be verified in orbit. Dongfanghong-5 platform has a total satellite power of 30,000 watts, a payload of more than 2,000 kilograms, and 120 transponder circuits, and some technical indicators exceed the level of developed countries. Most of the products on Dongfanghong-5 platform can be truly localized, independently controllable and no longer dependent on imports.

  Half-hour observation: Aerospace, China’s brightest "business card"

  From the first Dongfanghong-1 satellite to the world-leading Dongfanghong-5 satellite, the development of China’s communication satellites has gone from scratch, from following to running in parallel.

  The development level of communication satellites represents a country’s scientific and technological level in the field of space science and technology, and it is also an important embodiment of a country’s comprehensive strength. Although we have experienced failures and setbacks in the development of communication satellites, we have finally been at the forefront of international communication satellites in just a few decades.

  This is the result of the silent and selfless dedication of the vast number of aerospace science and technology workers, and it is also a continuation of the spirit of the older generation of astronauts.

Is the English stop announcement of Rail Transit Line 5 inaccurate? Teacher outside Sichuan gave the answer.

Recently, some netizens posted on the Internet that "there is something wrong with the rail transit station? Is this enthusiastic citizen’s reminder correct? " In the post, it is questioned that the grammar of English stop reporting and rolling subtitles in Shiqiaopu-Tiaoping section of rail transit line 5 is inaccurate.
Netizens posted questions.
The netizen "Looking at Bashu with Cold Eyes" posted a post on May 3rd, claiming that some Chongqing citizens complained that the English stop announcement and rolling subtitles of Shiqiaopu-Tiaodeng section of Rail Transit Line 5 were inaccurate, and listed three problems.
The first question, Shiqiaopu starting station. In-car broadcast: Welcome to Chongqing Rail Transit Line 5 Welcome to the Chongqing…… … Netizens think that the one is unnecessary, and it should be: Welcome to Chongqing …
The second question, in-car broadcast: the train will open The doors open on the right, and the right on the right is not pronounced correctly.
The third question, rolling subtitles in the carriage: This train is the Local train. Netizens think it should be: This train is a Local, or: This train is Local.
The rolling subtitles in the carriage photographed by the reporter are as the netizens said.
At noon today (7th), the reporter came to Shiqiaopu Station of Rail Transit Line 5, and took Line 5 from the starting station. As netizens said, the broadcast of the starting station was indeed "Welcome to the Chongqing…… …" Later, through the rolling subtitles in the carriage, the reporter also saw what netizens said, "This train is the Local" and other translations.
Whether there are grammatical problems in these English, the reporter contacted Mr. Li from the School of English, Sichuan International Studies University.
Teacher Li said that the netizen’s suggestion is reasonable.
Teacher Li gave a slightly detailed explanation. First of all, proper nouns should be preceded by zero articles, and definite articles cannot be added before Chongqing. In addition, this train is an ordinary train, which is a general term, and the indefinite article A, a local train is the train that stops at every station. As for whether the pronunciation of right in the second question is accurate, it is impossible to judge because I have not heard the specific content. Teacher Li also said that the usage of English articles is really complicated, and the suggestions of netizens are reasonable and accurate.
At present, the reporter has given feedback to Weibo, the official rail transit official.

They brought spring into the ward.

Six nurses from one infected department and one infected group greeted the patients, starting from Li Yang, Zhang Huan, Yu Qiuping, Wu Zhimin, Zhang Zhen and Xiao Jie.

  A light rain brings new flowers, and a thunder begins to wake up. In the season of fright, the spring is bright and the cherry blossoms are blooming. This is the best time for Wuhan people to enjoy flowers in the spring outing, but COVID-19 patients in the "Red Zone" ward can’t feel the breath of spring.

  "If the patient can’t get out of the ward, we will bring spring into the ward." Six nurses, Wu Zhimin, Yu Qiuping, Zhang Zhen, Zhang Huan, Xiao Jie and Li Yang, from the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University, were infected with tongji hospital in Wuhan Taikang. On weekdays, they take good care of patients like relatives, know the patient’s situation like the palm of their hand, and respond to the patient’s requirements.

  This time, they read the longing for spring and health from the eyes and conversations of many patients, and wondered together how to make the impenetrable ward spring and make the sick patients’ hearts full of sunshine.

  What should we do? Six people made a mistake, and the patients couldn’t enjoy the spring scenery. They also missed seeing it. Every day, hospitals and dormitories have two points and one line, high-intensity nursing work, and shifts are reversed day and night … … Even so, as long as they appear in front of patients, they all become energetic smiling angels.

  The ingenious angels quickly thought of a good way. Zhang Zhen, a nurse in plastic surgery, volunteered to be a painter and painted everyone’s favorite flowers on protective clothing. Team leader Wu Zhimin and nurse Zhang Huan also made "flowers" by hand using cotton swabs and shoe covers.

  "You brought spring!" "You are as beautiful as flowers!" As soon as the nursing team entered the ward, it immediately attracted the attention of patients and won everyone’s praise.

  An aunt in bed 47 has been moping for several days. At this moment, she is surrounded by six nurses together with several patients, guessing what flowers are on their protective clothing one by one.

  "This is cherry blossom, the most famous flower in Wuhan." The cherry blossoms on Zhang Zhen’s protective clothing were recognized at once. She said happily, "I wish everyone a speedy recovery and go to Wuhan University to enjoy the cherry blossoms."

  "This should be a lily. Do you like lilies?" In the face of the patient’s question, Yu Qiuping said with a smile: "Pure lilies have the meaning of unity and friendship. I believe that as long as we unite, we will definitely overcome the virus and tide over the difficulties."

  "Aunt, I have the best guess." Zhang Huan, who is always so happy as the name, took the patient Aunt Wang and said with a smile, "This is a sunflower. Sunflowers are born in the sun, and the virus is destroyed in the sun. I am here to help you eliminate the virus."

  Today, Zhang Huan looks happier than usual. Her husband, nurse Chen Lei of Huoshenshan Hospital, won the third-class merit. Husband and wife have been fighting the epidemic in Wuhan for 20 days, but they have only met once for 30 minutes. But this did not affect Zhang Huan’s working status at all. The husband and wife always encouraged each other in WeChat, "Fight side by side ‘ Epidemic ’ It is a battle slogan, and paying attention to safety is the most beautiful love story. "

  Li Yang, whose protective clothing was painted with roses, received the happiest task and sent three patients out of the hospital. "Roses not only symbolize love, but also have the meaning of bravery. You have bravely overcome your illness. No matter what difficulties you encounter in your future life, you should still face them bravely … …” At parting, Li Yang said to an elderly patient. "Although I have never seen your face, I will always remember you as beautiful as a rose." The patient said emotionally.

  Wu Zhimin specially prepared a "flower" for the patient Mr. Zhou and his wife. Mr. Zhou was immersed in grief because his father and brother died of illness. In order to make him happy, Wu Zhimin thought of many ways. A few days ago, I learned that Mr. Zhou’s wife was also being treated in the hospital. Wu Zhimin applied to transfer the husband and wife to the same ward.

  "Spring has come, and your illness has entered a recovery period. I believe you will be discharged soon." Wu Zhimin said while inserting "flowers" into the bedside. She found that Mr. Zhou’s frown had been stretched a lot … …

  After completing the nursing task and walking out of the "red zone", six nurses took off their protective clothes and were reluctant to throw them away. Xiao Jie, who is a geriatric nurse, took Zhang Zhen, a "soul painter", and said, "There are many elderly patients in our department, and you will help me draw magnolia next time. The old people will have a soothing effect."

  "Team leader, what’s the meaning of your lotus?" When everyone asked Wu Zhimin, Wu Zhimin said, "Lotus leaves the mud but is not stained. We should also ensure that ‘ Zero infection ’ , a peaceful triumph. "

Ding Junhui, the 20-year history of China billiards, brings a spring.

  For a sport, 20 years, although not long enough, is enough for it to go through the whole process from rise to depression to revival, such as billiards. Inadvertently, in China, this sport known as "elegance" and "gentleman" has a history of 20 years.


  Nowadays, billiards has become one of the most popular and attended sports in China. Statistics from relevant departments show that at present, more than 50 million people have played billiards in China, 25 million people often play billiards, and 500 to 1 million people play billiards every day. It can be said that the popularity of billiards even exceeds that of China’s national table tennis.


  20Century 80age The Enlightenment of Billiards in China


  It can be said that in the 1980s, an enlightenment movement about billiards made more Chinese people see a gentleman’s sport that has been popular abroad for hundreds of years. As a by-product, the Enlightenment also created a wealth myth.


  In 1980s, billiards, once regarded as the representative of decadent bourgeois life, quietly rose in China. In fact, as early as a few decades ago, billiards had entered China, but at that time, it was advertised as an "aristocratic movement", which was out of reach of ordinary people. This time, with the reform and opening up and the remarkable improvement of people’s living standards, billiards has spread in China at an alarming rate. People can often see the scene that two benches set up a table to become a pool table, and a group of men and women are playing around.


  In 1986, China Billiards Association came into being. After that, local Taiwan associations were established one after another. Some people say that the establishment of the "official organization" indicates that billiards is no longer just a mass entertainment activity in China, but has been included in the annual national sports competition plan as a competitive sport. For a time, billiards seemed to be a social phenomenon. In 1987, an article called Billiards Popular was published in Wuhan Daily. According to the conclusion in this paper, China people have solved the problem of food and clothing, and then they will start to have entertainment needs, and billiards will have a reason to be popular. After reading the article, many people smiled and didn’t care, but a young man named Gan Lianfang regarded it as a big event.


  When it comes to billiards in China, we can’t help but talk about Gan Lianfang. People are more accustomed to calling him the "King of China Billiards", which is full of heroism and domineering, but it is also very appropriate-in the past 20 years, Gan Lianfang and his "Star Card" have witnessed the billiards of China yesterday and today. No one would have imagined that a road builder had created the popularity of "elegant" and "gentleman" billiards in China. In fact, perhaps that sentence has been fulfilled, and many accidents in life are inevitable results.


  Twenty years ago, Gan Lianfang took out his savings of 8,000 yuan, vacated his own outhouse as a factory building, and set up Beijing Daxing Billiards Factory with several functions as director, purchasing, sales, accounting and cashier. Looking at the pictures in the magazine, he began to "develop" billiards equipment according to the cat’s description. "We use electrostatic combing tweed instead of the table, use the inner tube of the car as the rebound rubber edge, and let the carpenter plane the board to make the table top and wooden legs." More than three months later, the first billiard table was born. Gan Lianfang, a carpenter, gave his billiards table a resounding name-"Star Card". "Production of five units a day, a day’s profit is more than two thousand pieces. At that time, it was already very profitable. " It can be said that billiards made Gan Lianfang see the possibility of getting rich. So, he quit his job of bringing home the bacon and started a pool table wholeheartedly. In the first year, Gan Lianfang earned 100,000 yuan; In the second year, he earned 500,000 yuan.


  A rather subtle scene appeared. The "Star" billiards table, which costs less than 350 yuan, is placed in the streets and lanes, and most of the players are young people with bare arms. Because of this, some people say that billiards, a gentleman’s sport, has gone bad in China. "But it also has an advantage. If billiards are only placed in five-star hotels from the beginning, China people will never know what billiards are." In the eyes of outsiders, as the head of the "Star Brand", Gan Lianfang’s words inevitably smack of self-defense. However, if we look closely at the development track of billiards in China, people have to face up to the significance of Gan Lianfang and "Star Brand" to billiards in China.


  "’Star Brand’ caught up with the first wave of billiards popularity in China." A few years later, sitting in a hotel invested and built by his own company, Gan Lianfang analyzed this. Today, he has several titles: Chairman of Beijing Star Brand Group, Chairman of Beijing Longxi Hot Spring Hotel, Chairman of Beijing Longxi Hot Spring Golf Club, Chairman of Beijing Longxi Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., Chairman of Beijing Longxi Shunjing Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., etc. From the asset point of view, "Star Brand" is only a small household, but on Gan Lianfang’s business card, the status of "Chairman of Star Brand Group" is always ranked first. In the words of Gan Lianfang: "My original capital accumulation, my popularity, my brand, my value-added status, and all my success come from billiards."


  20Century 90age The first climax of billiards in China.


  By the 1990s, people were no longer satisfied with the relatively simple bag-dropping style (15 balls), and more and more "billiards fans" began to like the more technical snooker style.


  In 1990, Gan Lianfang tried to advertise in Beijing Evening News, but the result was rejected-the other party didn’t pay attention to this individual billiards company. Can’t direct publicity, Gan Lianfang can only think of other ways. Hearing that a celebrity billiards match will be held in Beijing, he immediately took out 50,000 yuan to sponsor the event. At that time, 50,000 yuan was half of the annual profit of Star Brand. As a result, the celebrity billiards competition has attracted the attention of all parties, and even appeared on CCTV’s News Network. Since then, "Star Brand" has become famous in one fell swoop.


  Also from that year on, national events around billiards emerged in an endless stream, and there were countless local events. In addition to the National Snooker Classic, which began in 1990, the international snooker competition in China has also experienced a process of growing from scratch. From 1988 to 1992, the Chinese Billiards Association held five consecutive "Jianpai Cup" international snooker competition with the participation of the world’s best professional billiards players. In 1993, the 10th Asian Snooker Championship was held in Beijing. On that occasion, Gan Lianfang invested 550,000 yuan to win the naming rights of the competition. In 1996, Guangzhou successfully hosted the 13th Asian Billiards Championship and the International Professional Snooker Invitational Tournament. Also in this year, the Chinese billiards association began to implement the registration system for billiards players. In January of that year, the first professional billiards club in China-"Star Brand" professional billiards club was established, which opened the river of billiards professionalization in China. Famous players such as Pang Weiguo, kasim and Tao Shan joined the "Star Brand" and became the first qualified players in China.


  What is particularly worth mentioning is that in 1998, Gan Lianfang and Red Bull Company held the Red Bull Cup China Challenge, which consisted of six races with a total investment of 4 million yuan, and three generations of champions Davis, Hendry and Higgins appeared together. Speaking of that tournament, Gan Lianfang was very proud: "In 1993, a Hong Kong company held a billiards match in Beijing, and both Davis and Hendry came. But at that time, we didn’t have the strength and couldn’t afford others, so we had to take advantage of the situation, such as giving them some small gifts to use the’ Star’ billiards table during practice. Later, we didn’t have to take advantage of the situation, we did it ourselves. I was a major participant in the Red Bull Cup in 1998, from planning to negotiating with the International Federation of Taiwan. " From "borrowing others’ potential" to "creating your own potential", the fate of "Star Card" seems to be the epitome of China billiards.


  In fact, the development of "Star Brand" is not always smooth. In 1991, Gan Lianfang made an important decision to invest in the production of "Star" high-grade billiard tables. "At that time, it would cost 8,000 to 10,000 yuan to produce a high-grade billiard table. If it was not done well, it would be in your hand." People around me are strongly opposed. However, Gan Lianfang has no hesitation. "This is not so much a decision, but rather a gamble with all my family, which is soaked with my sweat, tears and even blood." Facts have proved that Gan Lianfang won this "gambling". In the 1990s, the sales of Star Brand trotted up: 1.6 million yuan, 4 million yuan and 10 million yuan. In 1994, it achieved sales of 50 million yuan, and the domestic market share reached 40%. Gan Lianfang has since become a well-deserved billiards king in China. After the rapid expansion in the early and middle 1990s, "Star Brand" has now entered a period of steady development. Today, "Star Brand" has been firmly holding this "King" hat in its hands.


  21century The Spring of Billiards in China


  The star effect can promote the vigorous development of the project, which has been repeatedly proved in China sports: Liu Xiang is to track and field, Yao Ming is to basketball, and Ding Junhui is to billiards … Without Ding Junhui’s success, billiards would only be a hobby of many children. After Ding Junhui became famous, many Chinese people were surprised to find that billiards can also change their fate!


  In the 21st century, billiards in China has fallen into a low ebb-athletes’ poor performance, fewer sponsors, failure to hold big competitions, and the billiards equipment market in China has also shown signs of decline. "Where is the spring of China billiards?" Many people are deeply worried about this issue, but Gan Lianfang is full of confidence. He has never given up his insistence on billiards. He even signed a contract with the relevant departments of the State Sports General Administration to hold a competition at his own expense. In his words, "Don’t let billiards break."


  In April 2005, Ding Junhui, who was only 18 years old, defeated Haendly, the world’s "billiards emperor", becoming the first champion in China to win the professional snooker ranking tournament. At the celebration dinner, when Gan Lianfang gave Ding Junhui the 50,000-dollar gold medal, the whole audience was in an uproar, because the amount of the prize money exceeded the number of the prize money of the open champion-the eyes of the Chinese people once again gathered on billiards, and the "billiards fever" rose accordingly. At this time, many people noticed that Ding Junhui, a "billiards prodigy", also had an identity-a signing player of Star Brand Group. This time, people have to admire Gan Lianfang’s foresight.


  In fact, since the mid-1990s, players who have won the national billiards championship, such as Pang Weiguo, Tao Shan, kasim and others, are mostly signed by Star Brand Group. When Ding Junhui won the billiards championship in the 2002 Asian Games, Gan Lianfang "stared" at him-not only persuaded Ding Junhui to sign a contract with Star Brand, but also recognized him as his adopted son. For some gossip, Gan Lianfang is also confident: "Xiaoding is now the undisputed overlord of China billiards, just like Xingpai billiards brand. We are a strong alliance of first-class enterprises and first-class athletes. In the future, we will continue to train more outstanding players for the country. " Although an entrepreneur, Gan Lianfang made it clear that he didn’t want to earn a penny from Ding Junhui: "Ding Junhui won the championship, but I don’t have any requirements for him in business. We don’t want any of his advertising fees. We just contribute to cultivating talents for the country."


  In fact, the development of billiards in China just needs this enthusiasm and devotion.


  People in table tennis circles believe that table tennis has the highest penetration rate, while people in billiards circles have different views. In their view, the mass base of billiards is no less than football and basketball: "From the perspective of government investment, billiards is indeed a marginal project. But from the perspective of social attention, billiards is not marginal at all. It is estimated that tens of millions of people in China are playing billiards every day. There are now 400 golf clubs in Shanghai, each with an average of 15 tables, with an average of 200 guests every day and 80,000 people playing ball every day. There are 500 to 700 gymnasiums with more than 15 tables in Beijing; Billiards in Guangdong developed the earliest. There are more than 300 ball rooms in Dongguan and more than 400,000 people in Foshan, but there are also 30 ball rooms. " With more people playing, the level of amateur billiards has improved rapidly, which is the base of China Billiards Pyramid.


  Fortunately, everything is going well. Before Ding Junhui became famous, billiards competitions were only sponsored by billiards equipment manufacturers, but with the arrival of brilliant achievements, Ding Junhui was favored by dairy companies and Liang Wenbo was also sponsored by mobile phone companies.


  What should China billiards be like in the future? Some people say that billiards should develop in the direction of professionalism and marketization, and professional events should realize market-oriented operation within 8 to 10 years. In any case, Gan Lianfang’s goal is clear. This entrepreneur, who takes the development of China billiards as his own responsibility, is busy planning a new goal-to cooperate with international stations to organize the events in China, and regard this as a new stage of the development of "Star" billiards.

Zhongxin. com, Changsha, January 27 th, for the network transmission in Changsham international shopping plazaHunan Wanjiali Group responded that the shopping mall will not force merchants to open their business during the Spring Festival. This matter is a rumor and has been reported to the police.

The notice of this online transmission pointed out: "In order to respond to the national policy of celebrating the New Year on the spot and meet the consumption needs of consumers, the business hours of our shopping mall will not be adjusted during the Spring Festival in 2022, and it will operate normally according to the winter business hours: during the Spring Festival, all shops must ensure that they are open for business normally, and must not be late, leave early or close. If they are late, they will be punished by 500 yuan/time; The closed shop will be fined 50,000 yuan/day according to the contract area of 100 square meters or more, and 20,000 yuan/day according to the contract area of 100 square meters or less (including 100 square meters). "

The signing unit of the above notice is Hunan Wanjiali Group International Shopping Plaza Co., Ltd., and the signing date is January 12, 2022.

However, the reporter noticed that this notice was neither stamped with the official seal of the company nor signed by the legal representative of the company.

"The company did not issue this notice and did not force merchants to operate. The so-called fines for violating regulations are even more false. We only propose to all merchants to try to open as much as possible during the Spring Festival. " Huang Wen, director of the administrative office of Hunan Wanjiali Group, said in an interview that during the Spring Festival, the shopping mall itself is open normally, and the business hours are from 9: 30 am to 10: 00 pm. Merchants can decide whether to open or not according to their own conditions, and shopping malls will not intervene forcibly.

Why do you advocate the business of merchants? Huang Wen, for example, said that if a customer booked a New Year’s Eve dinner at a restaurant in the mall, but other restaurants were closed, then the customer’s experience would be discounted. "So we advocate that merchants are open during the Spring Festival, one is to serve customers, and the other is for the management consideration of shopping malls."

On the 26th, the reporter visited many storefronts such as clothing, mobile phones, training institutions, leather goods, catering, gold wares, etc. in the above-mentioned shopping malls, and the staff of the storefronts all said that they had not received the above notice.

Most stores said that they would open normally during the Spring Festival. Only a few training institutions and restaurants have made it clear that they will be closed for a few days during the Spring Festival, but staff will still be on duty during this period.

Why do you have to be on duty when you are closed? A staff member of a training institution said that according to his knowledge, the contract signed between the institution and the shopping mall included the agreement on the opening and closing time of the store.

"Judging from last year’s situation, our store’s business during the Spring Festival was not bad." Ms. Zhou, a staff member of a goldsmith shop in this shopping mall, said that this store will be open for business in the Spring Festival this year, and colleagues are ready for work.

"Our store will open as usual during the Spring Festival. For people who work in shopping malls, it is normal to go to work in the New Year." For going to work during the Spring Festival, a staff member of a brand clothing store in the mall seems very calm.

In response to this matter, the reporter interviewed Liu Ming, executive director of Hunan Ruibang Law Firm. He believes that if the online notice is true, the behavior of the mall is suspected of infringement, because there is a contractual relationship between the merchant and the mall. If the contract does not stipulate that the merchant must open during the Spring Festival, the mall has no right to make such demands on the merchant outside the contract; In addition, as a party to the contract, the mall has no right to fine, and the so-called fine has no legal effect. "And if the notice is false and forged, then the act of publishing false information to disrupt the production and operation of others is suspected of violating the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, and the public security organ may impose penalties according to law; Seriously, it is also suspected of fabricating and deliberately spreading false information, and will be subject to criminal punishment.
