, 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!

Assassin, CEO of soft media-"essayist", home of belt/trousers/advertisement/paving machine/home of being kicked/home of soft powder/home of rice flour/home of fruit powder/home of Huawei/car home/home of base ….. the head of many homes, the head of IT home, and the head of "Qingdao Reservoir".

At 15: 15 on May 15th, 2021, it was International Family Day and Home Day.

Qingdao, in front of the floating mountain, by the blue sea, in the early summer when it clears up after the rain.

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.

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."

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?

　　As of press time, except for Liaoning, Jilin, Xinjiang and Tibet, other provinces have published economic data for the first quarter of this year. Jiangxi, Hubei, Fujian and Guizhou rank among the top four in the national economic growth rate with 6.9%, 6.7%, 6.7% and 6.6% respectively.

　　On the whole, the economic operation of most provinces achieved a smooth start in the first quarter, but since March, the impact of frequent outbreaks on the economy has increased, which has become the current challenge.

　　The epidemic situation has obvious impact.

　　On April 25th, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Gansu released the first quarter economic data. So far, 27 provinces in China have released the first quarter economic data. Among the 27 provinces, only 5 provinces are lower than the national average economic growth level (4.8%), namely Henan, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Shanghai and Tianjin, which increased by 4.7%, 4.6%, 3.3%, 3.1% and 0.1% respectively.

　　The frequent occurrence of epidemic situation is an important factor affecting the economic situation in the first quarter. Yi Xiaoguang, president of Chongqing Comprehensive Economic Research Institute, told CBN that the forecast of the economic situation at the beginning of this year emphasized triple pressures, and then there were changes in the situation in Russia and Ukraine and repeated epidemics, all of which had a certain impact on the economy.

　　The above-mentioned provinces whose economic growth rate in the first quarter was lower than the national growth level all suffered the impact of the epidemic in the first quarter. Even if some areas successfully controlled the epidemic in a short time, their data also showed the obvious impact of the epidemic on the economy.

　　Zeng Junlin, chief economist of Sichuan Provincial Bureau of Statistics, said at the economic data conference in the first quarter of Sichuan Province that the epidemic with many spots, wide areas and frequent occurrences had the greatest impact on the service industry, which directly led to the service industry’s recovery being less than expected.

　　Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, suffered two rounds of epidemic shocks in the first quarter, which is reflected in the data: Sichuan’s GDP increased by 5.3% in the first quarter, and the total retail sales of social consumer goods was 591.7 billion yuan, up by 5.1% year-on-year; In the first quarter, Chengdu’s GDP increased by 5.0%, and the total retail sales of social consumer goods reached 228.01 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.1%.

　　Zeng Junlin said that the growth rate of Sichuan’s service industry in the first quarter was 4.8%, which was lower than the GDP growth rate, significantly lower than the average level of the previous two years by 2.1 percentage points, and far lower than the level before the epidemic in 2019 by 3.2 percentage points. The volume of service industry is increasing, accounting for more than half of GDP. Therefore, the impact of service industry on the whole economy is also very obvious.

　　Not only that, but the epidemic also affected areas dominated by tourism consumption.

　　In 2021, Hainan ranked second in the country with a GDP growth rate of 11.2%, second only to Hubei (12.9%), with an average two-year growth rate of 7.3% compared with 2019, ranking first in the country. Under the national strategic opportunity, Hainan began to rise. However, although Hainan’s economy started smoothly in the first quarter of this year, the ranking of growth rate declined, ranking fifth in the country with a growth rate of 6%.

　　Wang Yu, deputy director of the Hainan Provincial Bureau of Statistics, said that the sudden epidemic did have a certain impact on the economic operation of Hainan Province, mainly affecting the consumer market in March.

　　In the first quarter, Hainan’s investment in fixed assets increased by 16.3%, faster than the average growth rate of 7.5 percentage points in the same period of last year; The industrial added value increased by 7.6%, faster than the average growth rate of 4.7 percentage points in the same period of last year. From January to February, the total retail sales of social consumer goods in Hainan increased by 16.7% year-on-year, but in March, due to the epidemic affecting the tourism and consumer markets, the growth rate of total retail sales of social consumer goods dropped to 4.8%.

　　Lin Jingyun, director of the Trade and Economic Department of Hainan Provincial Bureau of Statistics, said that in March, Hainan was affected by the local epidemic, the number of tourists decreased significantly, residents’ travel and consumption were limited, and the total retail sales of social consumer goods decreased by 17.8% year-on-year; The tax exemption for outlying islands and the tourism consumption market were hit to a certain extent, and the retail sales of goods in March decreased by 21.6% year-on-year.

　　However, the sustained recovery of major energy provinces since last year is offsetting the impact of the epidemic.

　　The GDP of Shanxi, a major coal province, increased by 6.5% in the first quarter, ranking first in the country. Among them, Shanxi’s industrial production is growing well. In the first quarter, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 11.0%, exceeding the national level by 4.5 percentage points. From the perspective of coal and non-coal, the coal industry increased by 11.4% and the non-coal industry increased by 10.6%.

　　Although Xi ‘an was affected by the epidemic, Shaanxi’s GDP increased by 5.1% in the first quarter. In the first quarter, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size in Shaanxi Province increased by 9.1% year-on-year. Among the three categories, mining and manufacturing increased by 11.8% and 9.6% respectively. Among them, the coal mining and washing industry increased by 15.2%.

　　Need to speed up the bail-out

　　Among the 27 provinces, Jiangxi leads the country with a growth rate of 6.9%.

　　The data shows that in the first quarter, the investment in fixed assets in Jiangxi Province increased by 15.6% year-on-year, which was 6.3 percentage points higher than the national average. The total retail sales of social consumer goods was 290.73 billion yuan, up 8.9% year-on-year, 5.6 percentage points higher than the national average; The total import and export value of goods trade was 139.39 billion yuan, up 29.0% year-on-year, 18.3 percentage points higher than the national average.

　　Investment, consumption and export are the three troikas driving economic growth. These three data in Jiangxi are more eye-catching, especially the growth rate of total retail sales of social consumer goods. Because of the epidemic, the growth rate of this indicator in most provinces is lower than 5%, and some even lower than 3%.

　　Xiao Zhiying, deputy director of the Anhui Provincial Bureau of Statistics, said that the impact of the recent epidemic on raw material supply and logistics was gradually transmitted to the production end, and the consumption of contact and aggregation services was also restricted. Accommodation, catering, cultural tourism, transportation and other industries faced certain difficulties. From the economic data in March, the growth rate of some industry indicators slowed down and the downward pressure on the economy increased.

　　On April 11th, Wang Yongxin, deputy director of Chengdu Development and Reform Commission, said at the press conference that the imported cases from outside the province since March 30th spread quickly, the intergenerational time was short, the number of stops, people involved and merchants affected was more than that of the "2.20 epidemic", and the operating pressure of market participants was further highlighted. It is urgent to introduce new policies and measures to help enterprises and benefit enterprises, support market participants to cope with the impact, tide over difficulties together and ensure stable economic operation.

　　Therefore, the Chengdu Municipal Government issued the Policy and Measures to Support the Healthy Development of Market Subjects and Promote Stable Economic Growth. This document supports the healthy development of market players from many aspects, such as reducing production and operation costs and strengthening factor protection.

　　In addition, the contribution rate of consumption in GDP growth has increased significantly, and the impact of the decline in consumption growth on the economy has been expanding.

　　Yi Xiaoguang said that consumption needs scenes. Although it can be consumed online, some real-life scenes are necessary. Therefore, it is necessary to strike a balance between epidemic prevention and control and normal work and life, and to prevent and control it more scientifically. In addition, the policy should also focus on how to enhance consumption capacity, guide good expectations, make residents willing to spend, dare to spend, and achieve the goal of promoting consumption.

　　At present, all localities are promoting the recovery and promotion of consumption in an orderly manner. On April 21st, the executive meeting of Chengdu Municipal Government proposed to promote the rebound of aggregate consumption in an orderly manner, guide cultural and tourism enterprises to innovate tourism products, promote the recovery of wholesale and retail, accommodation, catering, trade and exhibition and other service industries under the premise of strictly implementing epidemic prevention and control measures, and actively carry out a new round of consumer vouchers promotion activities.

　　Zeng Junlin also said that more measures should be taken to promote consumption. We will fully implement the policies and measures of the central and provincial committees on promoting consumption, optimize the consumption environment, expand consumption momentum and activate consumer demand. At the same time, accurately help stabilize production. We will do a good job in ensuring the supply and stable prices of bulk commodities and core components, help advantageous industries and key enterprises to ensure stable production, speed up the construction of major projects, and promote the steady recovery of life and contact service industries.

　　Xinhua News Agency reported on April 25th that the General Office of the State Council recently issued "Opinions on Further Releasing Consumption Potential and Promoting Sustainable Recovery of Consumption" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"), pointing out that consumption is the final demand, the key link and an important engine to smooth the domestic cycle, which has a lasting driving force for the economy and is related to safeguarding and improving people’s livelihood.

　　According to the requirements of combining goal orientation with problem orientation, short-term support and medium-and long-term promotion, the Opinions put forward 20 key measures in five aspects. Including coping with the impact of the epidemic and promoting the orderly recovery and development of consumption; Comprehensively innovate and improve quality, and strive to stabilize the basic consumption disk; Improve the support system and continuously enhance the comprehensive ability of consumption development; Continue to deepen reform and make every effort to create a safe, secure and honest consumption environment; Strengthen safeguard measures and further consolidate the foundation of high-quality development of consumption.

Five manifestations of stagnation of liver qi

According to Chinese medicine, the liver is "happy but depressed", and the liver’s drainage function is normal, so as to ensure the smooth flow of qi, normal operation of qi and blood and physical and mental health. If the liver qi is not smooth, the qi in the human body will be blocked and blocked, which will lead to various pathological changes of the body, such as edema, blood stasis and amenorrhea in women. Therefore, soothing the liver is the essence of nourishing the liver.

1. Feeling depressed or irritable.This symptom is the most common, manifested as depression, always sighing, or irritability, which affects daily life and work.

2. Swelling and pain in the parts along the liver meridian.The liver meridian passes through the lower abdomen, chest and hypochondrium, larynx and pharynx, and the top of the head, and the stagnation of liver-qi will cause abdominal pain, breast swelling pain, hypochondriac pain, headache and other manifestations.

3. Lesions of neck and throat.The liver meridian passes through the throat, and the liver qi stagnates here, so people will have a foreign body sensation in the throat, which can’t be swallowed or coughed up. Chinese medicine calls it "plum nuclear qi". If qi stagnation lasts for a long time, it will further affect the normal operation of blood and body fluids, resulting in phlegm and blood stasis staying in the neck and neck lumps.

4. Female breast and menstrual diseases.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "women are born with liver", so women are more prone to stagnation of liver qi. In addition to some of the above symptoms, it will also be manifested as breast pain, caking, dysmenorrhea or menstrual disorders.

5. Digestive system diseases.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that liver and spleen are closely related in physiology and pathology. Stagnation of liver qi can affect the spleen and stomach for a long time, resulting in abnormal digestive function, loss of appetite, belching, abdominal distension, irregular stool and even diarrhea.

Stagnation of liver qi is an emotional disease, so we should first pay attention to mental adjustment. On the basis of treating the primary disease, we should actively carry out mood counseling, seek the help of family, friends or psychologists, or cooperate with music therapy, or devote ourselves to nature. Only by diverting attention and relaxing body and mind can the stagnation of liver qi be alleviated.

In diet, you can choose more foods with the functions of soothing liver and regulating qi, such as celery, chrysanthemum, tomato, radish, orange, grapefruit, citrus, bergamot and citron. Usually, roses, jasmine flowers, acacia flowers, green sepals, chrysanthemums, mint, bergamot and other teas can be used as appropriate, which also has a certain effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression. Patients with severe symptoms need to take medication under the guidance of a doctor. Commonly used prescriptions include Xiaoyao Powder and Chaihu Shugan Powder.[detailed]

White hair on the temples and liver and gallbladder deficiency

The temples, that is, the parts near the ears, are mainly related to gallbladder. Because the liver and gallbladder are both exterior and interior, it is also related to the liver. The liver holds blood, so the long white hair on the temples is mainly due to insufficient blood. At the same time, we should pay attention to invigorating qi, such as eating red dates to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, or drinking millet porridge, because qi can produce blood, promote blood circulation and dissolve blood, and when qi is replenished, blood will rise.[detailed]

Nine "killers" who hurt the liver the most

1. Lack of sleep.Nowadays, many people have the habit of working or playing at night, but staying up late is the easiest way to get liver disease. The reason is that during sleep, the human body will enter the self-repair mode, often staying up late not only leads to lack of sleep, but also affects the self-repair of the liver at night. People who have been infected with hepatitis virus will get worse if they stay up late. Professor Neil Colin, an expert from the American Sleep Association, said that "late sleepers" should try to adjust their schedules, and it is best to fall asleep before 11 o’clock every night to ensure that they sleep enough for 7-8 hours every night, so as to effectively detoxify the liver and ensure their overall health.

2. Do not urinate in time after getting up in the morning.Dr Daniel Paradi, an expert from the European Association for Liver Research, said that detoxification in the body can be carried out through urination, perspiration and defecation. Urinating as soon as possible after getting up in the morning can excrete toxins accumulated all night in time to avoid toxins staying in the body and causing liver "poisoning".

3, overeating.Many people know that eating too much will increase the gastrointestinal burden and induce fatty liver. Dr Paradi pointed out that overeating is not only harmful to the health of gastrointestinal tract, but also easy to cause a great increase of free radicals in the body. The key function of the liver is to help the human body deal with free radicals, eliminate toxins and purify the blood. The more free radicals in the human body, the more serious the damage to liver function.

4. Don’t eat breakfast.Nutrition experts say that eating breakfast helps to neutralize stomach acid and protect the liver, reducing the risk of pancreatitis, diabetes, gallstones, constipation and other diseases. Dr. Hermite Suri, a holistic nutritionist in Ontario, Canada, said that a healthy breakfast can prolong satiety and avoid liver damage.

5. Take too much medicine.According to a study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, taking painkillers and other drugs for a long time will increase the burden of liver detoxification and lead to liver damage. Dr Kenneth Simpson, the head of the new study and an expert from Edinburgh Royal Hospital, said that there are many drugs and their metabolites that can easily cause liver damage, leading to drug-induced hepatitis. These drugs include antibiotics, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, antipsychotics, antidepressants, antiepileptic drugs, sedatives, anti-hyperthyroidism drugs, anti-tumor drugs, hypoglycemic drugs and cardiovascular drugs. Therefore, taking medicine must strictly follow the doctor’s advice and be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

6. Excessive intake of processed food.Dr. Hidachiran Zara Hussain, a registered nutrition therapist in India, said that many food additives such as preservatives, pigments and artificial sweeteners were added to many processed foods. These additives contain a variety of chemicals that are difficult for human body to decompose, which will increase the burden of liver detoxification and induce liver damage after entering the human body.

7. Prefer fried food.A study reported by CBS found that eating fried food for one month can cause obvious changes in the liver and trigger changes in enzymes similar to hepatitis. Dr. Drew Auden, a famous American medical expert, pointed out that the accumulation of oil and saturated fatty acids can lead to fatty liver. Unhealthy edible oil increase that risk of heart disease and liver disease. Relatively speaking, olive oil and sesame oil are healthier.

8. Eat half-baked or burnt food.Dr. Hussein said that undercooked food or overcooked burnt food (especially meat) can also easily lead to liver damage. Studies have found that drunken shrimp, oysters and half-baked shellfish often carry bacteria and parasites. Once acute gastroenteritis and dysentery occur, it is easy to worsen liver disease and even induce hepatic coma.

9. Excessive drinking.Dr. Nemo Ashi, a hepatologist at Zef Medical Research Center in Israel, said that excessive drinking will reduce the liver’s ability to purify blood, lead to an increase in toxins in the body, and induce liver damage and various diseases. In addition, alcoholism can easily lead to liver poisoning and induce hepatitis. Long-term excessive drinking can easily lead to cirrhosis. Dr. Ashi said that drinking more than two cups (25 ml) of high-concentration wine every day would damage the liver.[detailed]

Seven most common symptoms in early stage of liver cancer

Symptom 1: Pain in the liver area

Common index: ★★★★★★★

The first symptom of most patients with advanced liver cancer is pain in the liver area, and the incidence rate is over 50%. The pain in the liver area is generally located under the right rib or xiphoid process, and the pain is intermittent or persistent dull pain. Dull pain or tingling, the patient may feel discomfort in the right upper abdomen some time before the pain. The pain can be relieved by itself in a short period of time. The main cause of pain is the rapid enlargement of tumor, which compresses the liver capsule and produces traction pain, and it can also be caused by tumor necrosis stimulating the liver capsule.

A few patients spontaneously or suddenly have severe pain in the liver area after liver puncture, which is mostly caused by the rupture and bleeding of cancer nodules on the surface of the liver. If there is blood pressure drop and shock at the same time, and there is bloody fluid in abdominal cavity puncture, it means that the cancer node is ruptured and bleeding seriously. In this case, emergency rescue is needed. Without the above-mentioned accompanying symptoms, the pain is limited, which indicates that the bleeding is located under the liver capsule. Pain can vary according to the location of tumor growth. Tumors located in the left lobe often cause pain in the middle and upper abdomen. The tumor located in the right lobe, the pain is in the right quarter rib; When the tumor involves the diaphragm, the pain radiates to the right shoulder or back, which is easily mistaken for shoulder arthritis; When the tumor is located in the posterior segment of the right lobe, it can sometimes cause low back pain; Patients with tumors located in the deep liver parenchyma generally feel little pain.

Symptom 2: Symptoms of digestive tract

Common index: ★★★★★☆.

According to incomplete statistics, about 37% of patients with liver disease were mistaken for "stomach trouble" at the initial stage of illness, which delayed diagnosis and treatment. Loss of appetite and fullness in the upper abdomen after meals. Warm qi, dyspepsia and nausea are common digestive tract symptoms of liver cancer, among which loss of appetite and abdominal distension are the most common. Diarrhea is also a common digestive tract symptom of liver cancer, which has been reported at home and abroad with a high incidence and is easily mistaken for chronic enteritis. Portal hypertension and intestinal dysfunction caused by portal vein or hepatic vein tumor thrombus can cause abdominal distension, increased stool frequency, and abdominal distension can also be caused by ascites. Gastrointestinal dysfunction can also lead to indigestion, warm gas, nausea and other symptoms.

Symptom 3: fever

Common index: ★★★★★

A considerable number of patients with liver cancer will have sweating and fever. Most of the fever is moderate to low fever, and a few patients may have high fever, which is above 39℃ and is generally not accompanied by chills. The fever of liver cancer is mostly cancerous fever, which is caused by the release of pyrogens into the blood circulation after tumor tissue necrosis. Because of low resistance, tumor patients are prone to infection and fever, which is sometimes difficult to distinguish from cancerous fever of liver cancer. It is necessary to combine blood picture and observe whether antibacterial treatment is effective.

Symptom 4: emaciation and fatigue

Common index: ★★★★☆.

Patients with liver cancer often feel more tired than patients with other tumors, which is similar to patients with chronic hepatitis. The cause of fatigue is unknown, which may be due to digestive dysfunction and nutrient absorption disorder, or liver cells are damaged and liver function is reduced, which makes metabolic disorders and some toxins unable to be inactivated in time, or toxic substances are released due to necrosis of liver cancer tissue. Emaciation is also a common symptom in patients with liver cancer, which is due to impaired liver function. Decreased digestion and absorption function. With the development of the disease, the degree of emaciation can be aggravated, and cachexia appears in severe cases.

Symptom 5: Bleeding tendency

Common index: ★★★★

Patients with liver cancer often have bleeding tendency such as gingival bleeding and subcutaneous ecchymosis, which is mainly caused by impaired liver function and abnormal coagulation function, especially in patients with liver cancer complicated with cirrhosis. Gastrointestinal bleeding is common, which is mainly caused by esophageal and gastric varices caused by portal hypertension. In fact, gastrointestinal bleeding is also the leading cause of death in patients with liver cancer.

Symptom 6: edema of lower limbs

Common index: ★★★★

Patients with liver cancer and ascites often have edema of lower limbs, which can occur in the ankle and spread to the whole lower limbs in severe cases. Clinically, I have seen some patients with high edema of lower limbs, and water can seep from the thigh skin. The main cause of edema of lower limbs is that ascites compresses the veins of lower limbs or blocks the tumor thrombus, which blocks the venous return. Mild edema can also be caused by low plasma albumin.

Symptom 7: Acute abdomen.

Common index: ★★★

The rupture of cancer nodules usually causes pain in the liver area, and there is obvious tenderness in the liver area during physical examination, which is a symptom of liver capsule irritation. Some patients showed acute abdominal pain with peritoneal irritation after the rupture of cancer nodules, which was easily misdiagnosed as acute peritonitis. Abdominal pain caused by rupture of cancer nodules is usually accompanied by blood pressure drop or even shock, which is different from general acute peritonitis.[detailed]

Six secrets to enhance liver function

Step 1 drink more lemonade

Water helps to speed up metabolism, expel impurities and toxins from the body and reduce the burden on the liver. Drink a cup of warm boiled water after getting up every day, which can wake up the whole body. Dr. Peter Kramer, an American liver expert, suggested that you can try adding lemon to water. The acidity of lemon can promote the liver to produce bile, which is beneficial to detoxification. Drink 8~10 cups a day, 300 ml each time.

2. Eat purple cabbage often

Cruciferae vegetables include beets, radishes, cabbages, purple cabbage and arugula, or vegetables containing sulfur, such as onions, garlic and cauliflower, which can enhance the detoxification function of the body. Eating two servings of cruciferous vegetables every day can enhance the detoxification function of the liver.

3. Regular massage

When the body is lying flat, gently massage the gallbladder and liver, about below the ribs on the right side of the body. Stephen Stewart, an expert in liver disease at Mette Hospital in the United Kingdom, believes that massage can help promote blood circulation in the liver, thus improving the metabolic function of the whole body.

Step 4 stay away from alcohol and medicine

Alcohol is extremely harmful to liver function. People with liver damage must give up drinking. In addition, many people are used to buying over-the-counter painkillers in pharmacies when they are unwell, but these drugs may contain acetaminophen, which may produce some toxic metabolites after liver metabolism, causing liver damage.

Step 5 make up minerals

Make sure you get enough minerals in your daily diet, such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, selenium and manganese. For patients with liver cirrhosis, doctors will also advise them to supplement more vitamins and minerals than usual to activate liver function.

6. Homemade liver protection tea

　　Editor’s Note: How to deal with construction waste has always been a thorny issue facing urban construction. At the same time, the rapid and extensive demolition and construction mode and simple and primitive treatment methods have led to the overall resource utilization rate of construction waste in China being less than 10%, and it is still in the stage of extensive landfill and stacking. How to deal with construction waste with nowhere to put it? How to solve the dilemma of "besieged city" of construction waste? The resource utilization of construction waste is imperative.

　　To this end, Zhejiang Online specially launched a series of reports on the rebirth of construction waste, to understand the current situation of waste resource utilization in our province through investigation and visit, to explore the experience and methods of cracking the "besieged city" of construction waste in various places, and to show the innovative way for green enterprises to explore circular economy.

　　Zhejiang Online March 30th (Zhejiang Online reporter Zhu Bin)In the abandoned mine near Dongheng Village, Luoshe Town, Deqing County, with the green engineering waste transport vehicles coming in and out, the originally rugged low-lying land has gradually turned into an endless paddy field after years of reclamation, and these engineering waste came from xie cun Waste Transfer Terminal (hereinafter referred to as "xie cun Terminal") of Hangzhou Port.

Leveling the reclaimed land for planting rice.

　　"(engineering slag) soil is actually a resource!" The relevant person in charge of the city appearance supervision department of Hangzhou City Management Committee (hereinafter referred to as "Hangzhou City Management Committee") told the reporter. Construction waste can be divided into five categories: engineering muck, waste mud, demolition waste, engineering waste and decoration waste, and its recycling is the research focus of construction waste disposal in the province.

　　In recent years, with the large-scale urban construction in Hangzhou, the generation and disposal of a large amount of construction waste has also become a phased problem facing Hangzhou. According to the person in charge, at present, there are about 50 million cubic meters of engineering muck produced by urban construction in the main urban area of Hangzhou every year, and this phenomenon may last until 2021 due to large-scale urban construction. He said that the Hangzhou Urban Management Committee has been committed to innovation in the consumption of construction waste and is gradually establishing a complete regulatory mechanism for the normalization of construction waste.

　　Build a high-standard muck transfer terminal

　　Let the engineering muck have a "good place"

　　The reporter learned that there are currently three muck transfer terminals in Hangzhou, among which xie cun Terminal and Luhe Terminal have been put into operation, and Chengdong Terminal is still under construction. "xie cun Wharf is built to a high standard, and the whole process of muck entry and exit has been supervised, which is leading in the country." The person in charge mainly introduced the related operation of xie cun Wharf to the reporter.

Xie cun wharf information management center

　　Xie cun Wharf, the first large-scale and modern construction waste water transfer operation point in Hangzhou, was invested and constructed by Hangzhou Lvnong Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd. in 2016. It is understood that the terminal covers an area of about 84 mu, uses a coastline of 456m, and has seven 500-ton berths, including six berths dedicated to construction waste and one berth dedicated to mud. The terminal business radiates to Gongshu District, Jianggan District, Xiacheng District, Xihu District and Yuhang District of Hangzhou, with an average daily throughput of 60,000 tons of construction waste and 15,000 cubic meters of mud.

　　The terminal has also established an information management system to connect with the information management platforms of Hangzhou Urban Management Committee, the municipal traffic police department and the municipal port and shipping department, and provide "one-stop" information services from admission, weighing, scheduling, unloading, measurement and tracking.

　　In recent years, the Hangzhou Urban Management Committee has been focusing on the resource utilization of construction waste, which has given the engineering muck a "good place". The main destination of the transport ship from xie cun Wharf is Luoshe Town, Deqing County, and the engineering dregs on the ship are used for the reclamation of abandoned mines in the local area.

The area on the satellite map that has been backfilled and reclaimed.

　　From muck transport to backfilling and reclamation, the whole process is also subject to strict environmental protection standards. Before the construction muck and mud are transported from the construction site, the general contractor shall provide the environmental impact assessment report of the land to be developed to ensure that the land is pollution-free and sign a disposal contract; From the beginning of outbound transportation, to the transfer terminal, and then to the disposal site, the dregs and mud at the construction site must be tested by a third-party environmental protection testing institution recognized by the environmental protection department, and the soil and water quality in the backfill mining area must be tested to ensure that the dregs and mud used for the backfill treatment of waste ore in the whole logistics chain are nontoxic and harmless.

　　"It is the first in the country to turn abandoned mines into land after treatment and to grow rice!" In 2015, the provincial land work conference was held in Dongheng Village, Luoshe Town, Deqing. Zack Zhang, deputy director of the Urban Construction Department of the Ministry of Construction, and Liao Yonglin, director of the Finance Department of the Ministry of Land and Resources, made important instructions.

　　Gradually establish a normalized supervision mechanism.

　　Let the supervision of construction waste "have no dead ends"

　　The relevant person in charge of the City Appearance Supervision Department of the City Appearance Center of Hangzhou Urban Management Committee said that it is a win-win practice to solve the problem of the disposal of engineering muck through the backfilling of abandoned mines, but the lack of space for the disposal of construction waste is still a key problem to be solved urgently. In the face of the staged pressure brought by the urban development of Hangzhou, in addition to the innovation of construction waste consumption, Hangzhou Urban Management Committee is also strengthening the supervision of construction waste disposal.

The information of all muck transport vehicles is fed back in real time on the comprehensive management and control platform of construction waste in Hangzhou.

　　On the comprehensive management and control platform of construction waste in Hangzhou, the reporter found that the monitoring images of several major muck transfer terminals, the real-time information such as the running track and transportation situation of all muck transport vehicles are presented, and the relevant administrative examination and approval of construction waste transportation can also be realized online. Relying on this information platform, Hangzhou Urban Management Committee is gradually establishing a complete regulatory mechanism for the normalization of construction waste.

　　It is understood that the first phase of the information platform began in 2016 and the second phase was completed in 2017. In addition to further improving the supervision function of the construction waste disposal process, it is also stepping up the comprehensive coverage of all urban areas in Hangzhou. "From disorder to order, from order to standardization, with the gradual stabilization of urban construction in Hangzhou, we are also establishing a normalized supervision mechanism." The person in charge said.

　　Since 2013, with the promotion of government departments, our province has successively carried out research on the development of resource utilization of construction waste, and Hangzhou is also constantly promoting the development of the end industry of resource utilization of construction waste. It is understood that about 40 resource utilization points for centralized treatment of construction waste have been established in Hangzhou, and some enterprises have introduced imported mobile construction waste treatment facilities.

Mobile construction waste treatment facility

　　"Demolition of garbage without leaving the city" is the goal of construction waste disposal established by Hangzhou Urban Management Committee, and the most effective way is to realize the resource utilization of construction waste. However, Hangzhou also faces the practical problems of low resource utilization of construction waste and underdeveloped end industries. In view of this problem, the person in charge thinks that the disposal of construction waste should be effectively supervised first, and then the resource utilization mode of construction waste should be continuously explored, which is a gradual development process.

　　According to foreign media reports, seven owners of the 2021 Durango SRT Hellcat filed a class action lawsuit with the court last week, accusing the manufacturer Stellantis Group’s brand Dodge of false propaganda, deceiving consumers to buy the model at a high price, and claiming more than $5 million from the group.

　　According to the plaintiff, Stellantis initially said that the Hellcat model was only sold for one year, and they bought it at a high price, but today, two years later, the company said that it would sell the model again, which means that the company’s previous publicity was fraudulent.

　　It is reported that the Hellcat model was originally released in July 2020, with a price of $82,490, including freight. In January 2021, Tim Kuniskis, CEO of Stellantis’s Dodge, announced that the Hellcat model would be sold for a limited time of one year and limited to 2,000 vehicles. "This will ensure that it will be a very special and popular high-performance SUV in the next few years." Many buyers spent at least $114,000 on this model for fear of missing the opportunity.

　　But two years later, the group overturned the previous remarks and announced that it would sell the 2023 Hellcat model again. The plaintiff claimed that Dodge’s marketing method was a typical fraud, and they used deception to sell products at high prices. Car owners said that they bought Hellcats because the company claimed that they were limited edition models, so they didn’t choose other competing products.

　　A few days ago, a Stellantis spokesman said that the group had not discussed the lawsuit. According to Dodge, the Hellcat has a power output of 710 HP, making it "the most powerful SUV in the world at present."
