Observation on the present situation of Internet in small towns of townships and counties: It seems like two worlds from metropolis

One day before the Spring Festival, my old classmate A Rong suddenly contacted me. I said I was driving home from Shenzhen and passing by Y city. I asked if I would like to go back to H county to meet my old classmates. H county is less than 100 kilometers away from Y city, where I spent my middle school days. There are many classmates in H county, so I promised to go when I thought about it. We stayed in H county for a day and met three classmates. The process was simple, that is, we had dinner and visited our alma mater.

H county is located in the old revolutionary base area, with an area of less than 700 square kilometers and a population of about 200,000. Compared with Y city, the economic development level of H county is inferior. However, in recent years, the development momentum is good, and non-ferrous metals, agricultural products, e-commerce and tourism are its emerging pillar industries. According to the official GDP in 2016, the per capita GDP of H County is around 37,000 yuan. The impression of returning home in this article mainly comes from what I saw in H County and the descriptions of the following four people: Brother Min, Liu and Hua Zai, and Brother Min’s daughter Xiaoxue. Here, first of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to several friends who have been harassed by me for several days!

The county seat of H county is relatively small. Earlier, there was a saying that there were "small H county and three tofu shops". Nowadays, with the vigorous development of real estate, the area of the county has also expanded a lot. However, on the whole, the location of H County is still a small town. The small area and population make it difficult for the public transport system to reach the economic scale, and the cost factor limits the route, which in turn makes many areas become public transport blind spots, and it is difficult for many users to meet their travel needs.

Therefore, beyond the public transport system, more flexible solutions are needed as a supplement. At first, it was a rickshaw with three rickshaws. Later, motorcycles, taxis and black cars appeared one after another, and now Didi. com has a similar role. From rickshaws to taxis and motorcycles to online car rides, the triple jump in H county is a typical mode of travel market changes in many counties in Jiangnan.

When people in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen began to worry about bike-sharing’s excessive use of public resources, residents in H County were eagerly looking forward to bike-sharing’s presence. The county seat of H County is located in the mountainous area, and many buildings are built on the hillside. It is very difficult to buy a bicycle and carry it into the community. Think about opening Y city in bike-sharing, that is, riding and walking, getting off and stopping, without worrying about vehicle theft and maintenance. How convenient it is. Unfortunately, however, the expansion of bike-sharing has not sunk to H County.

Fortunately, Didi has been operating in H county, making up for the gap. The response speed of Didi Express H County is usually three to five minutes, which is slightly slower than that of Y City mentioned before. This may be related to the small population and weak demand for cars in H county, and the small market size can only accommodate a small number of drivers. In this way, the service area of each driver is relatively large, and the response speed of receiving orders is inevitably slower. Xiaoxue sometimes complains that the car comes too slowly. In fact, compared with the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the response speed of H County is not bad.

Compared with the express train, Didi’s ride is actually more popular with users in H County. It is more convenient and comfortable than the shuttle bus, and cheaper and more affordable than taking a taxi. Take H County to Y County, which is 20 kilometers away, as an example. The bus fare is 7 yuan, and the ride is only 15 yuan. Xiaoxue’s boyfriend’s home is in a neighboring county, so he often rides to and from H county to see her. Therefore, people in H county like to take a ride, whether they go to a township or a nearby county or city.

Among the classmates and friends interviewed, some of them have never taken a drip bus in H county (the county is small, even if it is not far on foot), but all of them have the experience of hitchhiking, which is really unexpected. There are more and more people who own cars in H county, and the large number of people who make money with the wind may be one reason why hitchhiking is more popular than express trains.

However, it is difficult to get back from the countryside easily. Didi’s full line of products is only opened in H county, and it is a bad thing that users can’t use Didi on their return trip to the countryside. Of course, the platform should be based on the safety of drivers and passengers, and it is understandable that it has not yet sunk into rural areas. It is hoped that after improving the technical means and safety management mechanism in the future, Didi will fully open its operation area and provide better and more comprehensive services to consumers.

Smart phones have become a standard for individuals, and H County is no exception. The mobile phone users here seem to have different loyal user groups. Several students have their own favorites. Brother Min loves Xiaomi, Liu prefers Huawei, and Huazai’s family only buys VIVO.

Huawei has a very high reputation in H county, and it is the brand with the largest number of users mentioned and considered. It is generally believed that Huawei has a good brand and reliable product quality. Of course, Huawei mentioned here should include Huawei and Glory. Da Liu is a loyal Huawei powder, and almost every time he changes the machine, he only considers Huawei. Only two days ago, I bought VIVO X20 from a friend’s shop because of my kindness, but he said that the mobile phone is changing quickly now, and the next mobile phone will definitely be changed back to Huawei.

Followed by Huawei, it is the OPPO and VIVO of BBK. Their pleasing appearance and good service are the key to their success. Xiaomi can only be behind them, maybe a little ahead of Apple. Although the price of apple is obviously higher than that of domestic brands, there are still many fans in H county, accounting for more than 10%. In Xiaoxue’s view, the proportion of Apple users in her social circle is higher, which may be close to 20%.

Interestingly, although several students use different brands of mobile phones, the main reference indicators for buying mobile phones tend to be the same. They usually determine their favorite brand first, then check the price of mobile phones according to their own needs and budgets, finally compare their respective parameter configurations, and finally decide where to buy. It seems that the success of VO brothers is not accidental, and the efforts to spend money on brand wars have touched the user’s psychology.

Min Ge is a loyal user of Xiaomi, and several of his mobile phones are Xiaomi. Brother Min sighed that Xiaomi was once one of the brands with the largest number of users in H County. But many people around him changed their mobile phones to Huawei, OPPO and VIVO, and now he has become a minority.

Brother Min usually gives priority to ordering a mobile phone from Xiaomi official website. If it is out of stock, he will go to Tmall and JD.COM to buy it. However, there are fewer people who buy mobile phones online like him in H county, and most people still buy mobile phones through physical stores like Liu and Hua Tsai.

There are probably several reasons for choosing a physical store: 1. Physical stores can provide cash, which is more efficient than online shopping for three or four days; 2. The channel management ability of brands has improved, and the prices and gifts of physical stores are almost the same as those of websites; 3. The after-sales service of physical stores is more convenient and practical; 4. Many physical stores have cooperation concessions with local operators. Even if the price of mobile phones is slightly higher, they can get more benefits through package discounts and gifts.

In the mobile phone market in H county, it can be said that those who get physical stores win the world! Judging from the results reflected by everyone, it is precisely the brands that have successfully laid offline channels, such as Huawei, VIVO, OPPO, etc., which occupy more market share.

Brother Min, who returned to H County as a teacher after graduation, has already developed the habit of having a mobile phone in my hand. He basically travels without a wallet, and only needs to open WeChat or Alipay when paying. In his daily mobile payment, the proportion of consumption through WeChat payment has reached more than 80%, and Alipay is only used in living payment and a few scenarios. His daughter Xiaoxue relies more on WeChat payment in her daily life, and more than 90% of her consumption is completed through WeChat payment. Only when there are preferential activities on the platform will she think of paying with Alipay.

Liu, who used to work in a big city, was originally given a red envelope by Alipay’s code scanning activity, and gradually cultivated the habit of giving priority to Alipay payment. However, after returning to H County during the Spring Festival, he failed to continue this habit, but instead used more cash and WeChat for consumption. The reason is very simple. He found that many stores only have WeChat QR code and do not support Alipay QR code payment. However, Brother Min has different views on this. Before the Spring Festival, Alipay also carried out activities of scanning codes to receive red envelopes in H County, and then the number of shops supporting Alipay increased significantly.

According to my observation, the popularity of mobile payment in H county is slightly worse than that in Y city. Almost all shops in Y city print and post QR codes, while the proportion in H county is about 70% to 80%. It is common for open-air or mobile vendors in Y city to hang QR codes, but it is rare in H county. On the way to Brother Min’s house, I also saw a grandfather selling sugar cane hang an oversized QR code of A4 plastic paper on his tricycle, but it’s a pity that Arong drove by before he could reach for his mobile phone. Of course, not posting the QR code does not mean that the owner does not accept mobile payment. He can display the receipt code on the spot with his mobile phone, but the convenience of the transaction has decreased.

In terms of financial management, many students used to speculate in stocks, but they were afraid of being cut by leeks. Now there are not many. There are also high-return private lending activities in H County, and occasionally investors lose all their money because of running away with money. However, several students haven’t heard of the news that someone around them is involved in Qian Bao and kind-hearted. It seems that the Internet Ponzi scheme has not yet penetrated into H County. Brother Min is the opinion leader of people around him. When I asked about emerging Internet wealth management products such as P2P, he said that he had seen more negative news before and didn’t dare to contact. However, if the financial security is guaranteed, I am willing to experience compliant P2P products.

Because they are worried about the safety of funds, everyone chooses to deposit the remaining money in Yu ‘ebao or Licaitong. Brother Min himself was basically placed in Yu ‘ebao, but now there are more wealth management links on WeChat. There are two reasons: First, Licaitong and Yu ‘ebao are similar products, and their return on investment is equivalent. Since last year, the annualized rate of return of Licaitong has even been slightly higher than that of Yu ‘ebao; Second, most of the mobile payment relationships between people are transferred to WeChat, and the money received through WeChat is far greater than Alipay, so it is easier to transfer wealth management.

However, he speculated that other people’s money might still be more on the balance treasure, because the blind worship of Ma Yun’s father in society is very heavy, and many people have formed the concept of "big money balance treasure, small money WeChat". Like Liu, he told me that he only believed Ma Yun’s words. However, due to the obvious interception phenomenon of WeChat collection in daily work and life, Licaitong has already diverted Yu ‘ebao. Brother Min thinks it’s only a matter of time before people around him put their money in Tenpay and exceed Yu ‘ebao.

In social applications, WeChat has become a universal application, followed by QQ, and Tencent’s dominance in the social field is unshakable. Brother Min’s students usually only use QQ to contact him. It seems that middle school students all over the country have the same idea when they reach the rebellious period — — Avoid parents and create your own room for growth.

Weibo is mainly played by young people who like to pay attention to entertainment trends. Xiaoxue will open it once or three times a day to see the gossip of stars. Like Brother Min and Liu, they basically abandoned it. In Brother Min’s words, friends are all on WeChat, and they don’t care about the entertainment circle. What motivation is there to open Weibo? Andy even simply uninstalled Weibo to save memory space. Momo, who just bought the exploration in full, is said to have many users in H county. Brother Min once downloaded and installed it curiously. He recalled that there were indeed many people nearby.

Information applications are mentioned in WeChat, Today’s Headlines, Tencent News, a little information and Netease News UC browser. All of them said that today’s headlines are installed in their mobile phones, and they will be opened frequently, but the general stay time is more likely to be small videos and jokes. In fact, most people get information from WeChat and Tencent news clients. The sources of WeChat are divided into the third party WeChat official account, Tencent News WeChat official account and friends circle. Wechat has great user value potential. The Tencent News APP on Xiaoxue’s mobile phone was installed after she saw the content she was interested in from WeChat.

In addition, Xiaoxue also installed Meitu Xiu Xiu, Aauto Quicker, Tik Tok and other photo and video apps. Fun and easy to use is the magic weapon to conquer young users. There are not many outdoor live broadcasts in Aauto Quicker, H county. Several of them said that they have not seen the scene of online celebrity’s outdoor live broadcast on the streets of H county, but Xiaoxue’s boyfriend said that he had seen it in a neighboring county. There should be a large number of user groups in H county. You can see the works of many local users by opening the location. Tik Tok is another short video APP that young people like, and it has a high degree of overlap with users in Aauto Quicker. Xiaoxue said that her classmates and friends are basically users in Aauto Quicker and Tik Tok.

In terms of games, the glory of the king is as popular among young people as eating chicken, and the glory of the king is even popular among women. In the adult market, small games and chess games such as jumping and lianliankan are more common to help people kill time in their spare time.

A considerable number of people said that they actually have a lot of information applications that come with their mobile phones. They just deleted other applications that are rarely used and kept the common parts. Today’s headlines, a little information, Sohu News, etc. all follow this path. It seems that mobile phone pre-installation is still a very important application distribution channel, with low cost and large user coverage. As long as the products and content work hard, the value of this channel still has great potential to be tapped.

When asked what is the most commonly used e-commerce platform, almost everyone blurted out Taobao. Rich products, convenient package and complaints are the main reasons why people choose Taobao. Although the place in H County is small, the traffic is actually quite good, with two railways, two expressways and a national highway running through it. After placing an order in Taobao, you usually receive the goods in three to four days. For this aging speed, everyone generally agrees. In fact, if we can strengthen the process optimization management, the traffic conditions in H county should be faster.

Apart from Taobao, everyone is most impressed by Pinduoduo. Pinduoduo began to rise last year, and it has become well known by brushing the screen in the circle of friends. As in Y city, Pinduoduo faces the same brand credit crisis in H county. The image of Pinduoduo has been adversely affected by the mixed quality of merchants, poor quality control of goods and imperfect after-sales service.

Liu’s wife is a heavy user in Pinduoduo. Liu and her daughter always criticize her for buying a bunch of things that she doesn’t need. Her behavior has changed under the pressure of her family. In Brother Min’s view, Pinduoduo is an exclusive platform for middle-aged women who have more leisure time. Things are not right for them, but his wife occasionally makes a group with her friends. Xiaoxue, on the other hand, thinks that there are too many fakes in Pinduoduo, and it’s hard to tell them apart, so she stays at a respectful distance and only uses Taobao, which has more standardized platform management. Hua Zai has long given his wife the power to purchase goods at home, including online shopping. It seems that his wife has used Taobao instead of Pinduoduo.

JD.COM’s weak presence in H County is somewhat unexpected. Even in JD.COM’s powerful digital 3C category, few people say that they have bought such goods in JD.COM. Even an opinion leader like Brother Min only goes to JD.COM to check the information, and rarely places an order. In contrast, Vipshop, the main clothing, is used more often. He feels that the products of Vipshop are more real. Although sometimes the price is slightly higher than that of Tmall, he wants to buy it with confidence.

Netease koala is mentioned among young people, and Xiaoxue’s roommate will use it in activities as a supplement to Taobao. Brother Sanshi should be pleased that he has a certain brand influence among young people and can touch the potential user groups in the future.

The take-away market is dominated by young people, such as Liu and Hua Zai, who are not used to ordering take-away, and tend to take two steps to the restaurant for a fresh meal. Liu thinks that disposable tableware is not environmentally friendly and can be used as little as possible. Brother Min doesn’t order takeout many times. If he wants to order it, it is usually a fixed restaurant. He usually calls the boss directly to order food, and never uses the takeout platform. Because I am familiar with my boss on weekdays, the efficiency and service of ordering food by phone is better than through the takeaway platform. Buyers don’t spend delivery fees, and hotel owners don’t have to pay platform commissions, so it’s really a win-win situation for both sides to go to the intermediate link.

Or Xiaoxue, a student, is the one who orders the most takeout. She and her friends are used to ordering food by being hungry. She explained that it was not that she had a preference for selling platforms abroad, but that she was stationed in H County earlier because she was hungry. It is reported that Baidu take-out took the lead in landing in H county, and later hungry to follow up with Baidu take-out competition, and gradually gained the upper hand; However, the US Mission only entered the H county market in the second half of last year, and it is still in its infancy. However, the push ability of the US Mission has always been super strong, and we have clearly felt the strong impact of the US Mission on the street. It seems that the take-away market in H county is likely to change in the future.

Two days ago, I saw an article saying that the first-and second-tier cities were so hot that they answered questions live, but no one was interested in their hometown. It seemed that their hometown and the outside world were two different worlds. This phenomenon actually exists in H county.

Before the Spring Festival, you threw coins, I threw coins, and everyone threw coins together. The award-winning live answer was in full swing, and my circle of friends was full of advertisements and questions to show off. However, when asked about classmates and friends in H county, the answer was surprisingly consistent: I don’t know, I have never played. Xiaoxue has heard of it, but she is not interested in it.

Another thing that surprised me was the traveling frog. I thought this Buddhist game would become popular in H county like other popular games. Traveling frogs have entered the fading period of aesthetic fatigue in first-and second-tier cities, and Y city has just become popular, but it seems that it has not yet started in H county, and even the light snow that likes to chase the new trend has not been affected. According to this situation, traveling frogs are likely to have no chance to rise in H county, and no one wants to play an outdated game.

Xiaoxue said to me at dinner: Uncle, since I added your WeChat, I feel that the style of my circle of friends has improved a lot. I am a little puzzled to ask why, is it that I am more handsome than your father? She said no, her usual circle of friends is all trivial and chicken soup for the soul, but you sent some in-depth articles. At that time, I was shocked, because it was normal for my friends to share my own or my peers’ manuscripts, and some of them were even soft articles. In Xiaoxue’s view, this information is a clean stream in her inherent circle, something that has never been seen before.

Suddenly think of another little thing. Last year, I called several other students I hadn’t contacted for years, and they didn’t answer many times, but they didn’t refuse to answer. Later, I sent a text message to explain my identity before I got in touch. Asked about the reason, they said that they were worried about fraud when they saw that the incoming number was a strange number from other places, and I realized that it was a pot with a new mobile phone number. Being aware of safety is a good thing, but it also fully shows that many people in their hometown are too conservative.

In the last article, I compared Y city to the outer suburb of Beijing. Although it is far from the front line, at least the information is relatively smooth, but it lacks some development opportunities. The feeling in H County is that, like a village in a big city, it seems to be in a modern city, and the reality is completely different from the bustling CBD and business district. For most people in villages in cities, demolition may be the only way out. The same is true of the 18-line small county like H County, expecting the once-in-a-thousand-year "big demolition", such as merging into nearby strong provinces and cities and establishing high-standard open areas.

Nowadays, the mobile Internet has technically reduced the communication cost with the outside world and improved the productivity and quality of life, but it can’t solve the problem of information equivalence, let alone change the existing circles and horizons. Sometimes we think that the great progress we have made is actually just barely keeping pace with the times so as not to be left behind.

Like the children in the village, the children in H county have to go out if they want to change their destiny. When Xiaoxue go outside from H county after graduation, they may be as confused and uneasy as we were, lacking the confidence they deserve. This is obviously not what Brother Min and everyone want to see.

Nanjing Forestry University dismissed 49 teachers and students in one and a half years: University is not a safe.

  Source: official website of Nanlinda University

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Qin Ying compiled

  Autumn is the harvest season. This autumn, Wang Jun, who wasted his spring and summer, received a notice from Nanjing Forestry University that he had to quit school because he had not completed his required studies.

  As early as a year ago, Nanjing Forestry University gave advice to Wang Jun, a 2012 student, on how to drop out of school. His mother took him to the school to beg, hoping to give her children another chance to stay on campus. In view of his health reasons, the school agreed to demote Wang Jun for one year. However, a year later, he was almost obsessed with playing games, but he still didn’t get enough credits.

  This time, Wang Jun’s mother didn’t come to school again. "I can imagine how disappointed this mother should be." The tone of Professor Gao Handong, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of Nanjing Forestry University, is also somewhat regrettable.

  In 2014, Nanjing Forestry University issued the Measures for Undergraduate Students’ Academic Warning and Assistance (Trial), which gave students yellow, orange and red academic warnings according to the seriousness of their unfinished studies, and those who were given red warnings were dismissed from school. There were 18 red warnings in the second half of 2014, 13 in the first half of 2015 and 18 in the second half of 2015. In a year and a half, Nanlin University persuaded 49 students to leave.

  Being expelled from school, as far as students are concerned, means that college dreams are broken; As far as his family is concerned, it means that the parents who want their children to become dragons and daughters to become phoenixes are cold; As far as the school is concerned, it means that it has to make a choice to eliminate "unqualified products" and defend the teaching quality and the reputation of the school.

  The reporter visited some universities in Nanjing and found that this move by Nanjing Forestry University is not an isolated case. Say no to the cultivation of talents in colleges and universities, walk into such colleges and universities, approach the students who have been dropped out of school, approach their teachers and peers, and lift the veil in the corner of the campus where "youth and confusion are squeezed".

  A student who has been dismissed.

  "The university has just started, but I didn’t expect it to end."

  Wang Jun, a 2012 student of Nanjing Forestry University, was demoted in November 2014 because of the orange academic warning, and was dismissed from school in June 2015 because she reached the red warning. In the fall of 2015, I applied for a demotion trial, but I failed to complete enough credits in the first semester and was terminated. After extending the trial again in the spring of 2016, I only got 7.5 credits, and finally I was terminated and dropped out of school.

  In the memory of a teacher in Wang Jun, he seldom attended self-study classes and was almost obsessed with playing games. Although he failed many courses, he seemed to have nothing to do with himself. He didn’t take more than 40 credits in three years. "What does it mean to have more than 40 credits? Nearly 20 courses failed! " The teacher looked helpless and puzzled.

  Xin Li, a 2014 student of Nanlin University, was given a red warning in May 2015 because his credits did not exceed 4 points in one semester, and was subsequently dismissed from school. After applying for demotion for one year, I resumed my student status and returned to my original class in September 2016.

  This gentle-looking, slow-talking boy, together with several other students, broke the record of Nanlin’s big red warning: after just one semester in college, he was dismissed from school. In the first semester of college, he got only 4 credits and failed 4 courses.

  Xin Li comes from a big city in the west. Like many peers, from primary school to high school, she is surrounded by school assignments and various off-campus tutoring, and has experienced countless nights of studying hard. "At that time, the teacher always said, now eat more bitter, and you will go to heaven if you are admitted to college!" Xin Li said. Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, and finally waiting for the day when I am admitted to the university, it is time to have a good time. "liberated!" Xin Li described his mentality when he first entered Nanlin University. Finally, he didn’t have to work as hard as senior three, so he could play as he wanted.

  Soaking in Internet cafes and playing games, Xin Li released his game addiction that had been suppressed for three years in high school. In the first semester of college, the internet cafe next to the school was his frequent place. He seldom goes to study at night, because there are no teachers or parents around to urge him to study. In this way, in a state of idleness, the first semester of Xin Li’s university passed easily. He didn’t pay attention to the stipulation in the materials distributed by the school when he entered the school: if he got no more than 4 points in a semester, he would be given a red warning and dropped out.

  "It’s like a blow to the head, and I’m scared … …” Even today, talking about hearing the news of being dropped out of school, Xin Li still has sweat on his head. "The university just started, but I didn’t expect it to end!"

  Wen Chao, a 2014 student of Nanlin University, failed in seven courses in his freshman year and five courses in his sophomore year. In September 2016, he was given an orange warning and dropped one grade to resume his studies.

  Talking with Wen Chao, it was an autumn afternoon, with drizzle hitting the window and misty rain on campus. Wen Chao looked out of the window and said, "It’s raining outside like this, so many feelings will come out of my heart and I want to write it."

  Wen Chao, who is particularly fond of writing, has a literary talent and has written more than 500,000 words of literary works. The summer after the college entrance examination, he wrote more than 100,000 words of online novels.

  But Wen Chao studied science and engineering. Often at two or three o’clock in the middle of the night, he gets up and holds the computer or pen and paper to write. "About 70% or 80% of the energy is spent on writing, and there is very little time for professional study." Wen Chao said that because he had a good foundation in science in high school, he didn’t take professional courses seriously. He listened in class and almost never reviewed after class. "The power is biased!" Looking back on his two years in college, Wen Chao was a little annoyed.

  Ma Ning, a 2013 student of Nanlin University, has been repeatedly warned by yellow studies.

  When it comes to Ma Ning, Teacher Li Jing, the counselor of the School of Science, is somewhat in distress situation: he is too obsessed with playing games, playing with his mobile phone and computer, sometimes playing with his mobile phone and computer together, looking at what is in his hand and thinking about what is on the table, and often playing late into the night. "Then, it is truancy, he can’t get up in the morning! I tried to wake him up by calling his cell phone every morning, but he turned it on mute. I simply told his dormitory classmates to wake him up in the morning, and if they don’t get up, they can lift his quilt. "

  As a counselor, Li Jing often urges Ma Ning, whether in the classroom, on the road or in the dormitory, as long as he meets him, he reminds him, "Don’t play games!" Excavate can’t remember how many times I talked with him. Ma Ning sometimes even patted the table and swore "never to play again", but after two days, he took care of it again.

  Parents of dismissed students

  "There is only one plea: let the children stay."

  In the face of children being dismissed by universities, parents’ mood may be the most complicated of all.

  When Wang Jun dropped out of school in 2015, Wang Jun’s parents came to Nanlin University. My mother burst into tears in front of the person in charge of the academic affairs office: what should I do if I drop out of school after studying for so many years? The child’s life is ruined!

  Gao Beilei, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of Nanjing University of Science and Technology, has also encountered such a situation: "A mother who has been persuaded to withdraw her students has been crying behind me. No matter how you explain it, she has only one plea: let her children stay. However, the school has its own system, and we can only harden our hearts and say, please don’t affect our work. "

  Xin Li and Wen Chao’s parents, both in western provinces, rushed to school as soon as they heard that their children had been dropped out of school and given an orange warning. Xin Li said that at the beginning, he didn’t know how to tell his father about dropping out of school. After making a phone call, his father didn’t blame much. He rushed to Nanjing on a starry night to discuss with his teacher how to cherish the opportunity of trial reading. "My father’s actions gave me confidence. I felt love and trust from him."

  There are also parents of students, especially parents of some wealthy families, who are calm or even indifferent to their children being persuaded to leave. Gao Handong, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of Nanlin University, said that when a parent from Taizhou, Jiangsu Province came to the school to discuss how to help students, he listened to the teacher and kept answering the phone to do business. "The business is more important than children’s studies. At first, I received a phone call from the school, but later I simply didn’t come to the school. I let my children drift and didn’t mind the interruption of their studies. Perhaps, they just want to gild their children and increase their experience. "

  The teachers in the Academic Affairs Office of colleges and universities are most upset to see the parents of low-income families from rural and urban areas in the central and western regions: children are the hope of the whole family, and the fate of changing the family is pinned on them. Parents worked hard to support their children, and their children went to college at a cold window. They seemed to see the dawn of the family’s future, but they were suddenly dissuaded! Dawn goes out, hope collapses … …

  Teacher Li Jing introduced that Ma Ning’s home was in a medium-sized city, and his parents made a living by selling breakfast. They called his parents several times at the earliest, and the couple would arrive at school on time the next day. After several times of ineffective help, his parents didn’t come either. "If he still wastes his time like this, I really don’t know how he will face his parents who work hard to make a living if he is given further warning next!" Excavate a little hate iron not to produce helpless.

  "University is not a legendary paradise for relaxation!" Several students who were warned of dropping out of school and orange studies seemed to have an epiphany when interviewed by reporters. When I was in middle school, because I was closely watched by my parents and teachers, and because of the pressure of my studies, my budding hearts were hidden. It’s time to release them in college. So, play games, do part-time jobs, fall in love, and be busy with clubs … … It has almost become the whole life of some students in college.

  "Now many children, from primary school to middle school, grow up with their parents arranging everything for them. When you go to college and really start living independently, it is easy to be at a loss and get lost. " Gao Yudong said.

  Jin Gang, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Nanlin Dali College, said that the school will do its best to help students who are warned by their studies, and will not give up on students from difficult families. "As long as I work hard, even if my learning foundation and ability are poor, the school will do my best to help them catch up."

  The study guidance center established by Southeast University and the undergraduate study guidance center established by Nanjing University of Science and Technology are all aimed at providing academic guidance and assistance to students with academic difficulties, with the aim of preventing students from dropping out of school because of their poor learning ability.

  Persuasion in the eyes of college teachers and students

  "University is not ‘ Safe ’ "

  Wang Jun looked indifferent when he was persuaded to leave school. In the view of one of his teachers, "it’s as calm as a hotel passenger leaving for home. Perhaps, he doesn’t have much nostalgia for college life."

  Several students in Wang Jun think that persuasion is too harsh: after studying hard in the cold window for more than ten years, it is not easy to enter a university like Nanlinda University. I will graduate in another year, so why should the school be so strict? Let him go, which not only makes his future, but also warms his family. Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?

  Faced with persuasion, it is difficult for students to reach a consensus. Li Bing of Nanlin Dali University is a little resentful about persuading him to quit: Some teachers make the examination questions so difficult. For students with poor foundation, even if they use their "wild power", they may not pass the exam! Zhang Ran of the School of Landscape Architecture expressed his free and easy attitude on the issue of persuasion: you can go abroad to go to college. Besides, you can also go out for employment and start a business as early as possible. Contemporary young people want to shine in life, far more than going to college.

  "Overall, the mood of the students who dropped out of school is relatively stable, because they have been mentally prepared based on their academic achievements, that kind of ‘ Cry, make trouble and hang yourself ’ We have not encountered the fierce reaction. " A teacher from the Academic Affairs Office of Nanlin University recalled. Professor Min Yongjun, director of the Academic Affairs Office of the school, recognized Zhang Ran’s view: "Quitting may not be because of your poor ability, but because you are not suitable for studying in this school and this major. Change the platform, maybe you will perform very well. "

  In a post bar of Nanjing Forestry University, the netizen "Tiger Ju Long Pan 123" posted: "It’s been a few years since I graduated, and I feel that the school is getting stricter and stricter. At that time, it seems that there were very few announcements about quitting school, but now every semester, it’s quite strict!"

  Netizen "gerard_ Xiao Zhu" wrote: "I know one of them who was dropped out of school. I really can’t blame the school, because it is really self-motivated. I basically failed all the classes in one semester, failed public courses, and even missed exams. Don’t go to class if you retake, fail or even miss the exam again … … If such a student still gets the same diploma as those who study hard, what’s the point of working hard? It’s not fair to those who work hard. If his mind is really not studying, he might as well drop out of school and go to a wider world. "

  In interviews with many universities in Nanjing, several responsible persons admitted that the current higher education does face some objective pressures. First, after the enrollment expansion of colleges and universities, the quality of students has declined compared with the past, and there are constant doubts about the quality of college students’ training from all walks of life. Second, in the face of employment pressure and external temptation, some college students’ impetuous emotions are more obvious. In their eyes, colleges and universities are no longer "ivory towers" dedicated to their studies, but become post stations that leave with diplomas. In this context, it is urgent to "strictly manage the school" and "strictly manage the school".

  Professor Zheng Jiamao, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Southeast University, has been the head of the academic affairs office of the school for a long time. He believes that to dissuade students in colleges and universities is to strictly control the quality of graduates, and two starting points should be identified: quality-oriented and student-oriented. Student-oriented means to let every student get the most suitable training and become a talent who benefits the society; Quality-oriented means that the graduation requirement of a school is a red line, which cannot be lowered under any circumstances, which is related to the lifeline of running a school.

  There are 53 colleges and universities in Nanjing, and basically all have the rules and practices of persuasion. According to Zheng Jiamao, Southeast University has always insisted on strict entry and exit for students, but even if it is strict with students at ordinary times, there will be a drop-out rate of nearly two thousandths every year.

  Among the 16,000 students in Nanjing University of Science and Technology, more than 10 students are persuaded to leave every year. Gao Beilei, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of South University of Technology, said that the school also implements an academic warning system, stipulating that if the credits obtained in each semester from freshman to junior are less than 15 points, the yellow warning will be given for the first time, and the red warning will be given twice and the school will be dropped out.

  Gao Beilei said that under the influence of traditional ideas, most parents always want their children to become successful after college education, so they all take the consequences of dropping out of school very seriously and think that interrupting their studies means losing their future. However, the values of some post-90s and post-90s college students are quite different from those of their parents, and they are not so serious about dropping out of school. "Whether to re-enter the college entrance examination or start their own business, parents should communicate with their children on an equal footing, instead of sticking to the concept of never dropping out of school."

  "University is not ‘ Safe deposit box ’ Students who lie down and don’t do it must be eliminated. After all, the quality of talent training is the bottom line for colleges and universities to survive, and it is also the expectation of society for colleges and universities. " Gao Yudong said.

  Persuasion institutionalization

  "Pull back the promising ones earlier and ask the hopeless ones out."

  This fall, Wen Chao, who should have been a junior, continued to study in his sophomore year. According to the regulations, students who are warned by orange will be enrolled in the next grade. "Now I don’t engage in literary creation for the time being. I have to spend all my energy on professional study. This semester, the classroom, canteen and dormitory are already at three o’clock." Wen Chao introduced his status in the new semester.

  "Now put 80% of your energy into your study?"

  "Where, it’s 100% now!" Wen Chao smiled shyly.

  Wen Chao said, thanks to the orange warning, he stepped on the brakes of his runaway writing, otherwise he would probably be dropped out of school. Wen Chao said that he has a good foundation in science. In high school, his math and physics scores were often the first in his class. Now, if he concentrates, he should be able to rebuild the failed courses.

  On the school gate of Nanjing Forestry University, there is a school motto with eight characters: "Honest and majestic, trees and people". "As a forestry university, we know ‘ Ten years of trees ’ Truth, naturally there will be greater patience to ‘ A century-old tree man ’ 。” The words of the person in charge of Nanlin University are meaningful.

  Before 2011, the quality control of graduates in Nanlin University mainly depended on the "clean exam" before graduation, that is, the last make-up exam before graduation for the courses that students failed in school. Pass the exam and graduate smoothly; If you fail the exam, you can continue to take the exam within two years.

  Usually, when the academic pressure is not great, I will fail the course, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect such a "one foot at the door" as the final exam. For the final exam, teachers have two choices: first, many people are doomed to graduate without falling standards; First, demotion to help them get through, but also break through the bottom line of colleges and universities.

  In 2011, before Nanlin University canceled the exam for the Qing Dynasty, several students consciously passed the exam without hope, so they went to the teacher for care, and later they went to the school’s academic affairs office to plead, but they were all turned back.

  "We can’t hand over the quality control to the final exam. It’s too late. It won’t have much effect on saving students with poor academic performance. We should be strict in peacetime." Gao Handong said, "The implementation of academic warning means to bring back the promising ones earlier and invite the hopeless ones out. The key lies in moving forward, process management and precise assistance."

  In 2014, Nanjing Forestry University issued the Measures for Undergraduate Students’ Academic Warning and Assistance (Trial), which gave yellow, orange and red academic warnings to students according to the seriousness of their unfinished studies: the credits per semester did not exceed 12 points and they failed more than two courses, yellow warning; If the credits per semester do not exceed 8 points and fail more than 3 courses, an orange warning will be given; If the credits per semester do not exceed 4 points, or the accumulated credits without courses exceed 40 points, a red warning will be issued.

  In fact, as early as 2005, the Ministry of Education implemented the "Regulations on the Management of Students in Ordinary Colleges and Universities", which expressly required that "those whose academic performance did not meet the requirements of the school or did not complete their studies within the prescribed period of time (including suspension) should drop out of school".

  According to the academic warning method of Nanlin University, students who have been warned by the yellow warning can take various forms of course re-examination if they still fail to pass the make-up exam at the beginning of the second semester: re-examination in shifts and re-examination in groups; At worst, the school will organize summer refresher courses and set up refresher courses in the first few weeks of the summer vacation.

  Persuade, many people see the "strictness" of colleges and universities. Gao Handong said that there are actually many "leniency" behind it, including a series of measures such as system design, dedication to help, and giving the green light to change majors.

  Stiffness and warmth of persuasion system

  "As long as students don’t give up, the school will not give up."

  Xin Li was given a red warning in May 2015, and was dismissed from school. According to the regulations, he can apply for demotion for one year, and he can successfully "resurrect" by completing the required credits within one year, restore his student status and return to his original class to continue his studies. Trial reading is the last green light that the school gives to students with poor academic performance. With the support of parents, Xin Li chose to apply for a trial study.

  The college appointed a special teacher to help Xin Li to make a personal study plan, and was responsible for supervising and helping him. "The counselor, the teacher in charge of teaching in the college and the deputy secretary in charge of students’ work have devoted their ardent concern and selfless help to me this year." Xin Li said that the teachers’ careful guidance inspired him to keep going this year.

  Xin Li joined a club in the school, which, in his words, was "near Zhu Zhechi". He studied by himself and discussed difficult problems with outstanding students in the club, and his enthusiasm for learning had the feeling of high school. During the one-year trial, he was required to complete 15 points, and he earned more than 20 points in both semesters.

  "Is this year particularly hard?"

  "much better than the third year of high school!" Xin Li relaxed a smile.

  Help, not only for Xin Li, a student who tried to study after receiving the red warning. According to the regulations of Nanlin University, students with orange and yellow warnings also have help. Jin Gang introduced that every semester, the college will send warning notices to students and parents in duplicate, and invite parents to the school to discuss the assistance to students. On May 3rd and October 7th every year, it is the parents’ open day of the Science College, and the College makes full use of this opportunity to communicate and cooperate with parents.

  Nanlin University mobilizes the enthusiasm from colleges to teachers to help students: at the beginning of each semester, the Academic Affairs Office will send the failed rate of each major and class in the last semester and the list of students who have been warned by yellow, orange and red to all departments, and the Academic Affairs Office will communicate with the responsible persons in charge of teaching in each department one by one to urge all departments to do a good job of assistance.

  "In a certain class of the Institute of Chemical Technology, the failure rate of a certain course reached 30% last semester. The vice president of teaching was very shocked after seeing it and organized a detailed assistance plan. In the second semester, the failure rate of this class dropped to 10%, and the help effect was obvious. " Gao Handong said, "As long as students don’t give up, the school will not give up!"

  There is a class teacher in Nanlin Dali University. Almost every night, she goes to the self-study classroom to check, and takes some photos outside the classroom to remind me that students are not studying hard. A student who loves to play mobile phones received the message from the class teacher: Today is the fourth time to see you playing mobile phones while studying. If I see it again, I will inform your parents … …

  According to Jin Gang, with the dedication and persistence of helping teachers, most of the students who have been warned can consciously correct themselves. "Freshmen hold on tight. Once good habits are developed, they will not fall again in the future."

  In Gao Handong’s view, the reason why some people stay and others leave is not mainly a matter of ability, but a matter of hard work. "Students who can be admitted to colleges and universities like Nanlinda University will have no worse ability. Just as you can’t wake a person who pretends to sleep or doesn’t want to wake up at all. Help can only bring back those who are willing to turn back, but there are always some people who are unwilling to turn back. "

  Changing majors is a door that Nanlin University has opened to students, including academic warnings. Before changing majors, the school mainly gave the green light to outstanding students. Now Nanlinda has opened the door for four types of students to change majors: outstanding students, students with special skills and special potential, students who are not suitable for continuing their studies in their original majors due to health reasons, and students with learning difficulties.

  Wen Chao, who loves literature, was actively arranged by the school to transfer to the Humanities College to study Chinese language and literature, but he refused. He believed in his own strength: "Where you fall, you will get up!"

  Statistics from the Academic Affairs Office of Nanlin University show that the proportion of applications for major change has increased from 10% in 2014 to 30% at present. The proportion of permitted transfer has increased from 10% to 15%. "Except for a few majors who can only choose the best because of too many applicants, most majors can basically meet the needs of students." Yan Yongjun introduced.

  Most of the 49 students who were dismissed by Nanlin University in the last year and a half chose to stay and try. In May 2015, among the 18 students who were given a red warning with Xin Li, 17 applied to stay for trial study. Now that the probation period has expired, there are 8 students who have successfully "revived" like Xin Li, and 9 students have not completed the academic requirements of the probation period.

  After talking with Xin Li, I don’t know when the rain outside the window has stopped. He picked up his schoolbag, nodded goodbye to the reporter, and said that dinner was about to start in the canteen, and he would have a self-study class at night. Throughout the conversation, he rarely mentioned the word "drop out of school", but used the word "something was wrong" instead. He said that when something happened, it was really a hurdle in life and a solid fall. Although it was very painful, it was unforgettable to understand a truth: "University cannot be wasted."

  The figure of Xin Li carrying a schoolbag gradually walked away. On campus, yellow leaves are falling in the autumn wind, and another autumn is about to pass.

Meet romantic Langshan Mountain and explore the beauty of landscape.

       Exhibit unique features and inherit historical relics; Hold a cultural tourism event and invite guests and friends from all over the world. From November 30th to December 1st, the first Shaoyang Tourism Development Conference was held in Langshan, Xinning. Langshan Mountain, the "good person of the mountain", which is already the "new favorite" of online celebrity tourism in Hunan Province, has ushered in a new warm and vigorous rhythm.

  Enjoy a landscape, taste a city of Xinning, and seek a spring scenery. During the grand event, all eyes were focused on Xinning, and also on the exploration of the development path and blueprint of Shaoyang cultural tourism industry.

  In recent years, through the protection, development and utilization of tourism resources, Shaoyang has skillfully made articles on the integration of literature and tourism, and the unique natural and cultural landscape of Shaoyang has gradually entered the vision of tourists from all over the province and the country.

  This year’s National Day holiday alone, the city received 743,700 tourists and achieved a total tourism income of 813.9 million yuan.

  From "bred in an inner chamber, with no one knowing her" to "My family has a daughter who has just grown up", why does the value of Shaoyang’s tourism charm keep rising?

  Everywhere, the charm of the Millennium still exists today.

  Shaoyang is located in the southwest of central Hunan, inhabited by 44 ethnic groups including Han, Miao, Hui, Yao and Dong, with a permanent population of 8.3 million. It is the second largest city in Hunan Province.

  It has a history of more than 2500 years since Baigong built the city in the Spring and Autumn Period. After several dynasties’ changes and witnessing the bonfire years, Shaoyang people forged their resolute character of "being the first in the world", and walked out of Wei Yuan, Cai E, He Lvting and other historical celebrities, leaving a rich historical legacy.

  According to incomplete statistics, there are 12 national key cultural relics protection units in Shaoyang, including 26 places, 77 provincial cultural relics protection units and 88 municipal cultural relics protection units, with a total of 1,657 immovable cultural relics. There are 2 national historical and cultural towns, 8 provincial historical and cultural towns (villages) and 51 traditional villages in China.

  In the process of urbanization expansion and the transformation of old cities, we will adhere to the principle of "repairing the old as before" and integrate ancient buildings with urban (rural) planning and construction.

  Baoqing ancient city wall is adjacent to Shaoshui in the east and Zijiang in the north, with a history of more than 2,000 years. Today, the 1300-meter wall of Xiwaiwan still has the function of flood control after several generations of protection and repair.

  At the foot of the city wall, it is the famous scenery belt of Zijiang South Road in Shaoyang. Every night, tourists are woven and neon-bright, adding a touch of charm to the ancient wall.

  Shaoyang is a red land with a glorious revolutionary tradition, with more than 160 red remains and more than 2,000 recorded martyrs.

  Within the jurisdiction, there is the first mountain and old mountain boundary crossed by the Red Army on the way to the Long March. There is a famous anti-Japanese national salvation site in Hunan Province — — Tangtian wartime lecture college; There is a well-preserved communication office of the Eighth Route Army in Hunan … Relying on these rich red tourism resources, our city has vigorously promoted the construction of patriotic education bases, improved the red tourism route map, and cultivated a number of well-known red tourism brands.

  Everywhere, beautiful scenery, strange mountains and beautiful waters meet all directions.

  The unique hilly landform has created many strange and steep natural landscapes in Shaoyang.

  For example, Langshan Mountain in Xinning, a national 5A scenic spot known as "the soul of Danxia and the treasure of the world"; The only national park in Hunan, China’s "Hulunbeier in the South" city steps Nanshan; "Magic Oasis" Suining Huang Sang; "Chunan Resort" Wugang Yunshan; Move the stream at the entrance of "Natural Gallery"; Xinshao Baishui Cave … … Every place is a masterpiece of nature.

  As the first batch of national forest parks in China, Hunan Nanshan National Park has clearly divided the protection pilot area, tourist area, grazing area and living area, and implemented the coordinated development of ecological environment protection and tourism industry.

  In the protected pilot area, the population of wild animals has gradually increased in recent years, and the first-class wild protected animals such as forest musk deer, merganser, white-necked pheasant and civet cat have frequently appeared, while the population of second-class wild protected animals such as black bear, leopard cat, silver pheasant and mandarin duck is also recovering and increasing. Outside the protection pilot area, nanshan pasture, with green grass slopes, herds of cows and pleasant climate, has developed into a sample demonstration site of Shaoyang’s global tourism integrating tourism, farming and animal husbandry experience, catering and consumption.

  In the Langshan Scenic Area of Xinning, besides the beautiful Danxia Mountains and the novel and dangerous "first-line sky", there are spacious tourist centers, scenic roads extending in all directions and public service facilities everywhere.

  Huang Sang Scenic Area in Suining, the "Kingdom of Nature", has original ecological natural landscapes such as Shili Valley, Six Goose Waterfalls, Miao King’s Old Capital and Gaopo Sea of Clouds.

  Many years ago, there were few tourists because of poor traffic and poor infrastructure. In recent years, a standardized tourist center has been built in the scenic spot, and rows of homestays with ethnic characteristics are built by mountains and rivers, so that tourists can feel "poetry and distance" in physical and mental pleasure.

  In order to promote high-quality original ecological tourism resources to the whole country, Shaoyang has successively issued documents such as the Master Plan of Shaoyang Tourism Development and the Special Plan of Shaoyang Western Eco-cultural Tourism Circle.

  On the premise of fully protecting the natural landscape, the basic supporting facilities of various scenic spots have been gradually improved, and a variety of eco-tourism products such as ecological research, plateau health, wetland bird watching, self-driving cross-country and forest health preservation have been launched, forming tourist product lines such as Qimei Shaoyang sightseeing tour and eco-Shaoyang health tour.

  By the first half of 2022, there were 42 A-level scenic spots in the city, including 1 5A-level scenic spot, 6 4A-level scenic spots and 31 3A-level scenic spots.

  When foreign tourists come to Shao, there are more and more items to visit and enjoy, and their tourist reception capacity is getting stronger and stronger.

  Diversified formats, new look of cultural and tourism integration exhibition

  In August this year, the traditional festival of the Yao people, the activity of "begging for the bride" and the intangible cultural heritage concert with the theme of "Huayao on the Cloud and the charm of nature", were staged in the Yao township of Huxingshan, Longhui.

  While enjoying the ecological beauty such as canyons, ancient trees, strange rocks and waterfalls, tourists also appreciate the traditional customs and people’s feelings of Yao people such as Huayao picking flowers, Huayao folk songs, eight-tone gongs and drums, and opening gongs and drums.

  Shaoyang is rich in cultural tourism resources. There are 16 national intangible cultural heritage representative projects, 28 provincial representative projects, 112 municipal representative projects, 12 national representative inheritors, 25 provincial representative inheritors and 157 municipal representative inheritors.

  There are pleasing national performances such as Huayao Picking Flowers, Wowa Folk Songs and Wugang Sixian, as well as exquisite craft inheritance such as Baoqing bamboo carving, blue calico and beachhead New Year pictures. In recent years, through the deep integration of cultural heritage and tourism resources, many non-legacy projects in our city that are on the verge of extinction have been reborn and tourism resources have been promoted.

  In order to promote the tourism projects in Nanshan and its surrounding areas, Chengbu has made great efforts to create a brand activity of "66 Folk Song Festival".

  At the turn of summer and autumn every year, Chengbu invites tourists from all over the country to watch performances in Shao by holding folk song competitions, and introduces intangible cultural heritages such as hanging dragons, Miao boxing and fighting chickens in Chengbu. At the same time, it promotes tourism projects in Nanshan and its surrounding areas, so as to realize cultural inheritance and tourism development go hand in hand.

  In order to attract more tourists from inside and outside the province to visit, Suining County has become a better brand of "April 8th Girl’s Day".

  On the traditional "Girl’s Day" of the Miao nationality on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, Miao compatriots dressed in festive costumes gather together to drink rice wine and eat black rice, sing and dance folk songs, play games, and organically integrate folk culture with natural landscapes.

  In order to promote the recovery of the local tourism consumption market, in July this year, the Summer Food Amusement Night Shopping Festival was launched.

  Activities through the government set up a stage, enterprises singing opera, government subsidies, enterprises to make profits, so that the majority of consumers in multiple rounds, multi-theme "eat, drink, play, buy, enjoy, have fun" series of promotional activities to enjoy the maximum amount of concessions.

  Shaoyang rice noodles, Wugang pot-stewed vegetables, Chengbu Camellia oleifera, plasma duck, pig blood balls … … The food on the dining table in Shaoyang is known by more and more foreigners through the tourism industry, which opens the door for local agricultural products to enter the national market.

  In recent years, Shaoyang has spared no effort to promote all kinds of local agricultural products by taking advantage of tourism, and established the famous brand of "Shaoyanghong". The brand directory covers dozens of agricultural products such as day lily, dragon tooth lily, stewed vegetables and tea. The brand "Shaoyanghong" has appeared in major exhibition events in the whole province and the whole country for many times, and its popularity has been rising. "Shaoyang Taste" has been welcomed by more and more tourists.

  It has flourished for thousands of years, and it is still the same today. The ancient rhyme of mountains and rivers, waiting for you to come.

  Beauty is in Shaoyang, romantic Langshan. Welcome to the first Shaoyang Tourism Development Conference! (Shaoyang Daily reporter Ma Juan)

One day, Duan Wangfu was captured by Liu Wang, who abandoned the house and fled, and Liu Wang followed. In danger, he was rescued by the Yellow River warrior Ma Yi. All this was seen by Li Wang, who was watching the fire from the other side of the bank, and he was suddenly in trouble. Liu Wang took the lead in leading the troops to bloodbath Mayi village, and Ma Yi’s daughter died tragically under Liu Wang’s sword, thus forming a blood feud. Che Tian, a Jianghu artist, got to know Ma Yi. Seeing that Ma Yi was skilled in martial arts, he used Ma Yi’s "drunken sword" to set up a show and was applauded by the audience wherever he went. Li Wang coveted Ma Yi’s furious martial arts, but failed to send someone to lobby, so he secretly poisoned Ma Yi’s eyes. Ma Yi mistakenly thought that Chetian did it, chased it to the beach of the Yellow River, slipped and fell into the water, and Chetian desperately rescued him. At this time, Duan Wang sent troops to welcome Ma Yi into the house, and Che Tian also went with him. Duan Wang was surprised to see Ma Yi blind. However, he found that Ma Yi was blind but his swordsmanship was still amazing, so he treated him as a’ benefactor’ and entrusted him with an important task, sending him to submit the gauntlet to Liu Wang. After several bloody battles between the two sides, Liu Wang fell into the ambush of Duan Wang and finally died under the sword of Ma Yi. Duan Wang gave Ma Yi a kendo hall, and Ma Yiguang accepted his disciples and taught him swordsmanship. Duan Wang secretly ordered the killer to intercept Li Wang and turn to kill his Jurchen.

"In the late 1970s, everything was in ruins, and the Hebei Youth Table Tennis Tournament was about to be held. Wang Jianguo, who has been far away from table tennis, came to Huangcun to coach the junior table tennis team because of the recommendation of his former teammate Huang Yongliang. Huangcun’s table tennis foundation is very poor. Wang Jianguo met with many obstacles from the beginning of selecting players, and solved the problem of players. Training venues and training equipment once again became a difficult problem in front of Wang Jianguo. In order to prepare the players for the competition according to the formal team training standards, Wang Jianguo worked hard to earn money. At the critical moment, it was Huang Yongliang who helped Wang Jianguo solve the problem. At the same time, Wang Jianguo and Huang Yongliang’s younger sister, Su Mei, who teaches at Huangcun Primary School, are secretly in love. Under the strict training of Wang Jianguo, the children’s table tennis level improved rapidly, and they beat the opponent Hengyi Primary School in the qualifiers cleanly during the warm-up before the game. Unexpectedly, during the official competition, Hengyi Primary School changed its players in a targeted manner, and Huangcun Primary School was defeated and eliminated. Immediately, the headmaster announced the dissolution of the team, and Huang Jianguo went back to the institution where he had worked, repeating the monotonous days. Many things happen. Hengyi Primary School broke the rules of the competition in order to win, and the table tennis team of Huangcun Primary School was unexpectedly qualified to participate in the provincial finals. Huang Jianguo returned to Huangcun again. After more rigorous and targeted training, the players of Huangcun Primary School, led by Wang Jianguo, went to the provincial capital to participate in the finals. In the final stage, Huangcun Primary School made it all the way to the semi-finals and met the table tennis team of the provincial sports school led by Huang Yongliang, a good friend.The players of Huangcun Primary School gave full play to the spirit of daring to fight and fight, and the game was deadlocked and the score was tight. The consequence of overexertion is that two main players of Huangcun Primary School are injured and can’t stick to the game. How should Wang Jianguo choose at this critical moment? They have been eager to win the championship. When they are one step away from the championship, can they move on? "

IT house, ten years!

, 10 years old today!

These days, what haunts my mind is the song "Ten Years" by the king of K songs.

Ten years ago.
I don’t know you. You don’t belong to me.
We are still the same.
Be around a stranger.
Walking through the familiar streets
Ten years later.
We are friends and can still say hello.
……

People say that love songs are always old and good, and you can’t forget them all over the world.

In the past ten years, I sincerely, sincerely, sincerely thank everyone who accompanied me on this screen, colleagues and family members of Soft Media, and wives/elders/daughters/brothers and sisters/friends who always accompanied me (in no particular order).

It is difficult to write this article, and the essayist has encountered a thorny problem. Thoughts are scattered and scattered, and even in the fragments of the first few code words, emotional fluctuations roll and float, making it difficult to write.

For a long time, I think, let’s recall and report our journey over the years and sum up our merits and demerits.

In 2002, my first venture was e-commerce. I remember about the same year as Taobao, when I made a city-level online shopping platform in Qingdao, Tesco (www.loogoo.com, has now jumped to the soft media official website). At that time, Slogan was "Happy Shopping in Tesco". It seems that at that time, I laid two foreshadowing or main lines for today. First, IT is happiness, just like "akg, love here", which was founded by IT House. Tolerance, love and happiness have always been the mentality. Second, it is the e-commerce complex. In the past 20 years, every project will naturally bring e-commerce elements, just like spicy products, just like buying the most.

In 2005, I started my business for the second time and made a palm show. A national SP/CP business platform is the download and distribution alliance of mobile phone ringtones and mobile phone pictures. In half a year, the alliance business should be the first and second position in the industry, and it has also dug its first bucket of gold.

In the second half of 2006, my mind was zero, and I was close to financial freedom. I chose my favorite things, technology, internet and software. At this time, the third career, the beginning of soft media. Software+Media = Soft Media, Vista Optimizer+Vista House, Optimizer+Win7 House, Win8 Optimizer+Win8 House, Soft Media Forum, Cool Desktop, Rubik’s Cube, Flash Tour, Magic Beads, Rubik’s Cube Assistant (later, Soft Media Time and Present), Soft Media Cleaner, Soft Media Optimizer, Soft Media Beautifying Master, Soft Media Software Manager, etc.

During the eight years of free software development of soft media, I was the happiest time. I was immersed in the world of zero-one digital products, and until now, it is hard to find the happy mood in that time.

From Internet websites to software, the advent in 2007 opened the era of mobile Internet.

Before that, whenever the secularized technology in the world was mentioned, computers, Microsoft and Windows could not be avoided. However, after that, civil science and technology became colorful. Even on the website content of Win7 House, nearly 90% of the content is a topic outside Windows.

So, on May 15th, 2011, the word "Media" in the word "Soft Media" opened a new page, and we founded the IT House (www.ithome.com)。 It brings together the previous Windows House and expands the fields of iOS, games, digital, etc. Today, there are new columns and topics such as evaluation, 5G, AI, smart car, etc. In recent years, it has achieved full platform coverage from websites, WAP/PWA, iOS /OS, WP/UWP, Linux, macOS, Weibo, WeChat public number, Tik Tok number, B station number, headline Netease and other aggregation numbers, WeChat/Alipay/Baidu applets.

It seems like a long ten years, as the annual line on the face grows longer and deeper like the annual rings of trees, the passing of time is the only thing that remains unchanged since the beginning.

IT House strives to provide important value content in pan-technology and frontier fields as quickly and completely as possible.

Akg, love it here.

Soft media-exist, create value.

Peaches and plums don’t say anything, but they make their own way. The height of the sun determines the growth angle of many plants. Unforgettable, persistent and abiding by the initial heart and mission …

Suffering, every week, every month and every year, never stops. But I sincerely like that sentence, plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold.

There are too many growth stories in the past ten years, which are always on the verge of death. The ups and downs are endless. After all, love, love this.

IT house, ten years to sharpen a sword.

In the tenth year, the wish of IT House at the age of nine was realized. Since mid-March, 2021, Baidu Index has steadily occupied the first place among all domestic scientific and technological media. It is also almost the only scientific and technological media that maintains steady growth today.

In the tenth year, IT House entered the top 500 WeChat WeChat official account in China (new list data: ranking 397 in all fields).

In this decade, IT House has entered the top 500 websites in China (Alexa data: it ranks 396 among all websites in China today).

In the past ten years, IT House has become the largest website in Shandong Province.

In this decade, Weibo, which lacks operation (shame), ushered in the era of 6 million fans, and we also included the vast majority of scientific and technological digital numbers in the external aggregation such as Netease Sohu headlines.

Often, when I saw the IT House App opened in someone else’s mobile phone in a corner of Qingdao, I went to talk. IT turned out that they didn’t know that IT House was the work of a Qingdao enterprise. Every time I meet this, just like the character represented by my net name assassin, there is a kind of chivalrous feeling of "killing one person in ten steps, leaving a thousand miles".

There is no end to things, and there are times when things are going well.

How high the mountain is, how deep the valley is.

Only, look up at the road and bow down to do things.

The whole world will make way for a man who is bent on his goal.

Heaven rewards diligence, authentic rewards goodness, business rewards faith, and industry rewards essence.

Strive to survive for the cause of love, we step by step, earnestly practice our initial mission, keep our integrity surprisingly, hide our things in our bodies, and move forward.

Everyone is wrong, this is not a reason to find the wrong, this is just a simple truth.

However, there are mistakes in recognition, province establishment and reform.

In the past ten years, there have been many mistakes in management, personnel, legal affairs, outreach and community operation.

Before going to bed every night, always reflect on the right and wrong of this day before the habit of forcing your thoughts to zero.

Tough response to Wenxuan incident, missed some excellent editorial colleagues …

Take this as a lesson, and you can travel far and round.

Do value, not evil.

Although I have passed the age of no doubt, the IT home is just a lush teenager.

There are two major difficulties.

One difficulty is to balance the balance between commercial food and content value. The second difficulty is how to balance some irrational disputes between readers’ views.

Under the correct and positive values, use love, which can dilute and then dissolve some seemingly unchangeable winds from reality.

Darkness cannot dispel darkness, only light can; Hatred can’t dispel hatred, only love can.

If you do something difficult, you will get something.

Suffering breeds, not seeking glory, but seeking innocence.

A thousand words, ten thousand words.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Happy 10th birthday, IT House! Happy family day, family members of IT House!

Interpretation of Blossoms Shanghai: How does Wong Kar-wai play with the small screen when the heat is high?


Special feature of 1905 film network The TV series Blossoms Shanghai, directed by Wong Kar-wai and starring Hugh, finally came to light on December 27th, 2023 after six years of preparation and three years of shooting.The first broadcast of the series was 10 minutes, and the central eight broke 2, with a peak of 2.6. The average ratings of the first two episodes were 1.9984.



On the network platform, the heat value in Blossoms Shanghai Tencent Video Station broke 30,000, and it has entered Tencent Video "Explosive Club". The total interactive volume of barrage in Mandarin and Shanghainese versions broke 10 million, and the interactive volume of barrage in a single day broke 1 million for five consecutive days, which made Blossoms Shanghai, which has been expected for three years, gather more attention and flow.



Three years ago, when the news came out that Wong Kar-wai was going to direct a TV series, a group of Wong Kar-wai fans shouted "Impossible".


As a well-known director in the film circle, it takes three to ten years to make a two-hour film. Isn’t it necessary to photograph the collective retirement of fans in a 30-episode TV series? Wong Kar-wai returned after a lapse of 10 years, and the audience commented that "the top priority in the Chinese film circle this year is to make TV series in Wong Kar-wai".


It is no exaggeration to say that Blossoms Shanghai, who has been working behind the scenes for 9 years, has exploded!



However, when this Wong Kar-wai Blossoms Shanghai, which took six years to prepare, three years to shoot and four times to kill, was officially broadcast, we had to admire Wong Kar-wai for still capturing the retro modernity of Shanghai in 1993 with the most exquisite light and shadow and the most delicate lens.


With a film-like texture, the play shows the joys and sorrows, diligence and tenacity, wisdom and affection experienced by Shanghai people in the early days of reform and opening up. Shanghai in the 1990s was "figurative" in this drama, giving the audience an immersive feeling of watching the drama as if they were in the tide of the times.


At the same time, the flow and attention are projected to Blossoms Shanghai, and the voices of voicing to Wong Kar-wai, Blossoms Shanghai and a group of Shanghai local actors are also coming — — There are many negative voices, such as "Shanghai style is out of place in the times", "the story clues are a mess" and "Wong Kar-wai can only shoot the camera but can’t tell stories", and many people in the industry also expressed "some disappointment" after watching the premiere in Blossoms Shanghai.


Film critic Ai Hui said very directly in Weibo: "I don’t like Blossoms Shanghai, but Wong Kar-wai plays Pinduoduo."



However, with the broadcast of Blossoms Shanghai until the 10th episode, the audience’s word-of-mouth gradually began to warm up, and the comments on Blossoms Shanghai in social media gradually changed from "light pollution" to "seeing more and more", and there was a hot search term "watching Blossoms Shanghai five days ago VS five days later" on the hot search list.



In the eyes of film critic Ai Hui, this phenomenon is the normal deviation of the audience’s focus on watching the drama. Including Ai Hui himself, when watching Blossoms Shanghai’s first four episodes, there will be a strong feeling that "form is more than content". It is basically difficult to see natural light in the series. With the help of filters and studio lights, the monotonous sense of high-level makes the audience prone to "visual fatigue" when watching the drama. At the same time, the characters in the first four episodes are thin and the story lines are complicated, so it is very normal for the audience to have negative voices.


However, with the continuous broadcast of the drama series, the weak stories and characters in the early stage are gradually enriched, and the audience’s attention has shifted from the initial "Wong Kar-wai’s filming technology" to "the fate of the characters", and they have begun to devote themselves to the content of the drama series, and it is precisely at this time that several major characters have slowly unfolded.


First of all, Reiko played by Ma Yili, and how did Reiko, who gave a lecture on "Tokyo at Night" in Ginza, and Mr. Bao, played by Hugh, get to know each other? Reiko went to Tokyo with a plane ticket and embarked on a journey without a return ticket. She never thought about giving up. If she could not achieve something, she would never return to Shanghai. At this desperate moment, she and Mr. Bao met, and the two struggling young people resonated, and the soul fit gradually revealed its trace. These delicate warm stories and the vigorous vitality of Reiko’s independence and self-improvement slowly began to infect the audience.



Then began to tell the story of Miss Wang, played by Tang Yan. When it was first broadcast in Blossoms Shanghai, Miss Wang’s character coincided with the role played by Tang Yan before. Many viewers thought that she was still a "love brain" and "silly and sweet", and there was no great breakthrough. However, with the advancement of the plot, Miss Wang’s character became more and more full. In order to prove that "she is her own dock", she refused the Cadillac given to her by Mr. Bao and wanted to make her own way.



It can be seen that Wong Kar-wai applied the techniques of making movies to Miss Wang. For example, he used a low position, and Tang Yan’s big wavy hair was clearly seen. Including how her eyes contain tears and how tears flow down. It is the emotions behind these details that, with the unfolding of the fate of the characters in an episode, the audience will gradually feel so advanced.


The fate of the characters covered with details once again shows Wong Kar-wai’s "super power" to control the story behind emotions. If we say that in the first 10 episodes, the audience only loved Wong Kar-wai’s original shots and light and shadow, in the 13th to 18th episodes, there must be no flaws in the characters, stories and emotions, and the narrative, rhythm and atmosphere set off the TV series Blossoms Shanghai just right. I believe that Mr. "Sunglasses King" will smile after reading the audience’s comments.



On the other hand, the audience familiar with Wong Kar-wai commented that "Wong Kar-wai’s films, like prose, pay attention to emotional transmission, but not to story expression. It’s so specific that he really can’t control it. " Therefore, in the eyes of professional film critics, Wong Kar-wai’s storytelling ability has become a key link in Blossoms Shanghai. So, did Wang Dao really make it?


In this regard, Ai Hui, a film critic who has always been known for being sharp and daring to tell the truth, agreed with the above views of netizens. Wong Kar-wai uses emotions as his clue to string together the stories of the characters, and some of the shooting techniques are actually rarely seen in previous TV dramas.



For example, Reiko has a roof, which has never been repaired properly and always leaks. It is easy for the audience to think of a "stalk" in "Chongqing Forest", that is, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who is lovelorn, always has a dripping towel, which symbolizes Tony Leung Chiu Wai who refuses to cry. Instead, he shed tears on the towel.



This kind of association will make many fans very useful. It seems that in TV series, Wong Kar-wai tells more complete stories than in movies. The capacity of previous movies was just like a room, and Wong Kar-wai had to make a choice. The director can only show you some corners of the room. Then the current 30 episodes are like a museum, so there is enough time and space to put all the things that director Wong Kar-wai loves.



In Blossoms Shanghai’s TV series, he used a lot of documentary materials. The series has repeatedly stressed that this is 1993 and this is 1988. I think he is still very sensitive to the scale of time. Perhaps in Wong Kar-wai’s view, time is about equal to fate. Under the action of time, some people become "face" and some people become "sons". Bao became Bao Zong, Ber Ber became Ber Ber, and Miss Wang became "Entrepreneur Miss Wang".


Director Wong Kar-wai seems to be "in love" with the audience. You misunderstand him, and perhaps it is also a kind of interest to watch Blossoms Shanghai.



Blossoms Shanghai has a relatively concentrated story line every few gatherings. Even if you don’t know anything about it, you will feel a high-level unit drama when you pick out those episodes, which will definitely be a very innovative immersive feeling for the audience.


In addition, Wong Kar-wai insists on his own shooting methods, such as slow work and fine work like single-camera shooting. It is said that Tang Yan spent three years just grinding a Blossoms Shanghai and didn’t take any other plays. Including Dong Yong, a very experienced actor, it takes 30 shots to choose one. There are even actors who think that "maybe I can’t finish it all my life."



Looking back, the "silence" of Blossoms Shanghai’s opening was originally for the sake of the blockbuster behind. This kind of shooting technique is so luxurious that only Wong Kar-wai can do it. We should not underestimate Blossoms Shanghai’s influence. There may only be one or two TV dramas worth chewing like Blossoms Shanghai every few decades, so Blossoms Shanghai may become an orphan for a long time. All the likes and dislikes will eventually turn into traffic, so that everyone can focus on Blossoms Shanghai. For domestic dramas, it may have greater significance.


Illustrating Trump’s Cabinet | Countdown to the inauguration of the US President, who will share the White House with him?

Donald Trump will officially enter the White House on January 20th. In the first week after Trump won the election, he announced two cabinet candidates. As of January 10th, Trump has nominated 13 of the 15 cabinet members. Among them, Rex Tillerson, the nominee of Secretary of State and former CEO of ExxonMobil, is controversial.

existIn the coming week, the key cabinet members nominated by Trump will face the ultimate "big test"-the Senate committees will hold cabinet confirmation hearings one after another..

According to the U.S. Constitution, the President has the right to nominate cabinet members, but they can only be formally appointed after being examined and approved by the Senate. Positions that must be approved by the Senate include cabinet members, heads of federal administrative departments, ambassadors, Supreme Court justices, federal court judges and chairman of the Federal Reserve. The related affairs committee of the Senate will review the background, qualifications, political inclination and financial status of the nominee, so as to judge the nominee’s qualifications. In American history, most presidential nominations have been approved.Only nine times have senators rejected cabinet nominations..

Trump’s presidential team

As a president with no formal political background, Trump’s personnel appointment is relatively efficient. He is the second president to announce two cabinet candidates in the first week after Nixon was elected president in 1968. In contrast, Obama announced the first cabinet member in the third week after his election in 2008.

Although Trump is methodical in personnel appointment, the cabinet candidates he has announced one after another are still controversial-Republicans, whites, rich people and soldiers appear frequently in the list.

Keyword 1: Businessman

At present, among the 13 cabinet members nominated by Trump, there are five wealthy businessmen.. Trump, who is also a businessman, frequently throws an olive branch to his business colleagues when nominating cabinet members. The five cabinet ministers, including the Secretary of State, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Commerce, the Minister of Labor and the Minister of Education, are all from the business community, among which there are many billionaires. According to Forbes magazine’s estimate, these five people are worth a total of $4.4 billion.

Historically, there have been many precedents for Republicans to choose people from the financial sector to preside over the finance and business departments. Barbara Franklin and Carlos Gutierrez, two commerce ministers during the Bush-son period, were both corporate CEOs, and all three finance ministers came from big consortia such as Goldman Sachs.

So,If Trump’s nomination for the two ministers of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce is reasonable, it is special to nominate Rex W. Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of ExxonMobil, as Secretary of State.. As the number one figure in the cabinet, the importance of the Secretary of State is self-evident. Similar to Trump, Tillerson is a businessman with no political background. Before him, 68 secretaries of state appointed by successive presidents of the United States had political experience, and Trump’s move was widely regarded as a firm manifestation of his anti-establishment stance. According to Xinhua News Agency, as the "most pro-Putin American" in the cabinet, Tillerson also has close contacts with the Saudi oil minister and the Qatar royal family. Coupled with the business relationship with Trump himself, it is reasonable for Trump to choose him as an important cabinet post.

Keyword 2: Soldiers

In Trump’s nominated cabinet list, james mathis, Secretary of Defense, and John Kelly, Secretary of Homeland Security, both held important positions in the military. The former was the commander of the US Central Command, commanding the US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; The latter is the former commander of the US Southern Command, responsible for the US military missions in Central and South America and the Caribbean. In addition, Trump’s nomination list can be described as "land, sea and air". Interior Minister Ryan Zinke served in the US Navy and reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel when he retired; Attorney General Jeff Sessions served in the US Army and reached the rank of captain when he retired; Rick Perry, the energy secretary, was a captain in the US Air Force before he retired.

Is it reasonable for Trump to appoint so many people with military backgrounds? Diao Daming, an assistant researcher at the American Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that the Trump team seems to have many soldiers, but it has not deviated from the historical track in essence, but has continued some traditions of the Republican Party and even the two parties. Apart from the fact that the Minister of National Defense is the first military defense chief since 1950 and the Minister of Homeland Security is the first military minister in history, other military nominations are not special.

Keyword 3: Minority women

In a list of cabinet-level officials filled with "men" and "whites", two ethnic minority women stand out, namely Zhao Xiaolan, Minister of Transportation of Chinese descent, and Nikki R. Haley, Indian Ambassador to the United Nations.

As an important cabinet member during the Bush-son political period, Zhao Xiaolan’s resume can be described as glamorous. She is the first Chinese to enter the cabinet in American history, the first Chinese "White House scholar" and an outstanding representative of the famous think tank Hudson Institute. In addition, Zhao Xiaolan has a special identity-the wife of Mitch McConnell, the majority leader of the Senate. Judging from Trump’s previously announced governance framework, 550 billion US dollars of infrastructure construction is a big core, and a large part will be used for basic transportation construction such as roads and bridges. In the future, both the successful appointment of Zhao Xiaolan and the passage of the 550 billion infrastructure investment bill need to be approved by Congress. With this relationship with McConnell, we can win more support more or less.

Another minority woman, 44-year-old Nikki Haley, is the youngest incumbent governor in the United States and the first female governor in the history of South Carolina. Judging from the sex ratio of successive American ambassadors to the United Nations, men account for the vast majority (Obama appointed three female ambassadors in two consecutive terms, which is an exception). The Wall Street Journal pointed out in a commentary that as a president who came to power with strong support from the white class, the election of an Indian woman to the United Nations will help to make Trump’s cabinet team more diversified.

Who is about to face the Senate "big exam"

In the coming week, at least nine Trump-nominated cabinet members will attend hearings of Senate committees, including:

-On January 10th, the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee will consider John Kelly, the nominee for Secretary of Homeland Security.

-On January 10th and 11th, the Senate Judiciary Committee will consider the nominee for Attorney General, Jeff Sessions.

-On January 11th and 12th, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will consider Secretary of State nominee Rex W. Rex Tillerson.

-On January 11th, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence will consider Mike Pompeo, the nominee for CIA Director.

-On January 11th, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions will consider Betsy DeVos, the nominee for the Minister of Education.

-On January 11th, the Senate Committee on Trade, Science and Transportation will consider Zhao Xiaolan, the nominee of the Secretary of Transportation.

-On January 12th, the Senate Committee on Trade, Science and Transportation will consider Wilbur Ross, the nominee for Secretary of Commerce.

-On January 12th, the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee will consider the nomination of Ben Carson as Minister of Housing and Urban Development.

-On January 12th, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions will consider Andy Puzder, the nominee of Labor Minister.

In a report on January 9th, The New York Times pointed out that since the FBI has not completed the background check of all the nominees, Democrats hope to postpone the Republican hearing on Tuesday by all means.

However, the majority leader of the US Senate, McConnell, once said that he was unwilling to reschedule any hearing, and warned the Democrats as a minority not to set up any obstacles in the hearing. Not only that, when he participated in the CBS program Facing the Country, he said: "All these trivial and perfunctory complaints are related to the frustration they felt when they lost both the White House and the Senate majority."

How much is housework worth-is 30,000 won a day reasonable?

During this period, the divorce war between South Korean stars Hye-seon Ku and Ahn Jae hyun was raging. In the tug-of-war of divorce, the man broke the news that the woman asked for 30 thousand won a day for housework, which was converted into RMB 176 yuan a day and more than 5,200 yuan a month. The broad masses of people who eat melons have said, please give me a dozen domestic workers of Hye-seon Ku’s standard.

If we change our perspective from gossip discussion to academic discussion, there are actually two interesting questions:

1. Does housework have monetary value?

2. If there is monetary value, how to price it? Let’s discuss it separately below.

No.1 does housework have monetary value?

Housework refers to a kind of work that family members do in their daily family life.Unpaid labor. It usually is.Serve family members.Including but not limited to washing and cooking, looking after children, buying daily necessities, cleaning and hygiene, caring for the elderly or patients, etc. Generally speaking,It is both a production activity and a consumption activity..

Whether housework has price or monetary value has always been controversial in economics and sociology. The traditional view is that the products of housework are not born for sale, so they do not produce production value, and it is even more impossible to constitute the source of surplus value.

On the other hand, according to Marx’s theory of labor value, the value of commodities is determined by the socially necessary labor time condensed in commodities.

Housework itselfCondensed labor, paid labor time and formed labor products., so it should be valuable. Although housework has become a private labor because of the emergence of private ownership and family, this private labor is still an important part of the socialized division of labor system.Its existence ensures the smooth progress of other social production activities.. In other words, if there is no housework, individuals may need to use money to buy corresponding services instead of its existence, thus proving its monetary value in reverse.

From a broader perspective, some studies have found that if housework is not considered,It is impossible to correctly calculate the market productivity and the real consumption of society. Becker, a well-known economist, proposed to bring housework into the national GDP system in 1985. Since then, many developed countries have also calculated the proportion of housework in GDP, ranging from more than 20% in Japan to more than 50% in Australia and other countries.

No.2 how to price housework?

If we think that housework has monetary value, a more important problem is how to price it. At present, there are four mainstream methods in academic circles.

One is the comprehensive substitution methodThat is, the value of housework is replaced by the income level of full-time domestic service workers. The advantage of this method is that the calculation is very simple, and the remuneration of domestic workers in various regions can be directly regarded as the market price of housework. However, this method is easy to underestimate its value, because not all housework can be replaced by domestic servants.

The second is the professional substitution method.That is, each activity of housework is separated, replaced by similar professional income level in market labor, and then merged into the total housework value. This method is also easy to underestimate the value of housework, because the labor efficiency of market specialization is generally high.

One person is better than six.

The following figure shows a calculation table for the value of housework in the eastern coastal cities of the United States, and the method used is the professional substitution method.

The third is the opportunity cost method.That is, the value of housework is estimated by the salary return (shadow price) that domestic workers may get in the labor market when they go out to work at the same time. This method assumes that domestic workers can be fully employed in the market and get the maximum value return, which obviously overestimates the value of domestic work. Take Hye-seon Ku as an example. If all the value of her housework is converted into the reward of spending the same time as an actress, the compensation for housework will be astronomical.

Balala energy! Compensation for housework!

The fourth is the family food law., that is, the consumption cost, which is produced by the family not cooking, is regarded as the value of housework. Obviously, this method greatly simplifies housework, which may cause great deviation.

It can be seen that there is no widely accepted perfect scheme for measuring housework, but these methods can still show us the upper and lower limits of the value of housework. It is worth noting that,Due to the great difference in the wage level between the domestic service market and the employment market in different regions, the value of housework in different regions is also quite different..

A research paper in 2018 used the first three methods mentioned above and the survey data of nutrition and health in China to calculate the monetary value of housework in different regions of China in 2011 (Liao Yuhang, 2018). The data shows that every family in China needs about 6 hours of housework every day, and the average daily working time of the wife is 4 hours, while that of the husband is about 2 hours. In contrast, American women spend 2.24 hours doing housework every day, while men spend 1.38 hours participating in it.

The figure below shows the value of housework in different regions and its proportion in local GDP. in general; generally speaking; on the wholeThe value of housework in the south is greater than that in the north..The more developed areas, the higher the overall value of housework.However, this does not mean that its proportion in GDP is higher. "The proportion of housework to GDP is also related to the wage level and economic growth, but it is inversely related. The more developed the economy, the higher the shadow price of unit housework time, and residents will take efficient ways to replace or reduce housework, thus making the relative ratio of housework to GDP lower (Liao Yuhang, 2018)". Simply put, if you can get a higher return by going out to work, individuals will choose to buy services instead of housework, which will reduce the contribution of housework to GDP in this area.

Q&A anonymous netizen

Since housework is valuable and can be monetized, should a couple ask for a supplementary fee for housework when they divorce?

Article 40 of China’s new marriage law stipulates: "Husband and wife agree in writing that the property acquired during the marriage relationship belongs to each other. If one party pays more obligations for raising children, caring for the elderly and assisting the other party in work, he has the right to ask the other party for compensation when divorcing, and the other party shall make compensation. This article provides that the party who undertakes more housework under the separate property system enjoys the right of economic compensation in divorce. The provisions of this article are essentially the recognition of the value of housework, so that the party (mostly women) who has a weaker economic status and undertakes more housework can enjoy financial compensation when divorced. "

From this point of view, at the legal level, this is completely feasible. But what we want to express more is,Everyone in marriage should pay more attention to the value of housework and be considerate of others’ efforts in the family, which is a necessary attitude to maintain a good marriage.

Let’s go back to the gossip at the beginning. Is it reasonable for Hye-seon Ku to ask for 30,000 won a day for housework? If we set the value of housework as 30% of GDP, it is probably the average level of East Asian countries. In 2018, the per capita GDP of South Korea is 32,000 US dollars (1 US dollar = 1,208.3 won), which is equivalent to the housework value of 31,000 won in the next day. Is this just a coincidence? Or did Hye-seon Ku show us that knowledge is power and knowledge is wealth in an extremely professional and secret way?
