  In the golden autumn of 2013, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader proposed to jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative. In the past nine years, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has been deepened step by step and has become an important practical platform to promote the building of a community of human destiny. Building the "Belt and Road" for the benefit of countries and regions along the route is a road to peace, prosperity and openness, as well as a road to green, innovation and civilization. From now on, this edition will continuously launch four high-quality "One Belt, One Road" special editions, listen to the comments of experts at home and abroad, take stock of the progress of joint construction projects, and tell the story of builders.

  In the past nine years, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative has been connected with the development plans of countries along the route, and has taken root and blossomed, becoming a popular international public product, which has effectively promoted the economic and social development of the country and brought benefits to the people of the country. How to evaluate these achievements?

  Ivona Ladevac: Since the "One Belt, One Road" initiative was put forward, China has always adhered to the principle of cooperation, joint construction and sharing, without attaching any political conditions, treating all countries as equal partners and carrying out mutually beneficial cooperation. Nowadays, the "One Belt, One Road" project is spread all over the world, and its coverage is constantly expanding. Many countries have linked their development plans with the "One Belt, One Road" project, and the "One Belt, One Road" initiative has become a popular international public product: it is an open initiative, and all interested countries can join in; This is a pragmatic initiative, which is in line with the urgent will of economic transformation and upgrading of countries and regions along the "Belt and Road"; This is also an initiative to keep pace with the times, and relevant cooperation is constantly advancing along the direction of high-quality development.

  Stephen Ndegewa: The Belt and Road Initiative has promoted world development and progress. Taking Kenya as an example, China has helped Kenya build many roads, power stations and communication facilities, promoted personnel training and technology transfer, and promoted Kenya to make great progress in industrialization, urbanization and modernization. Looking at the whole of Africa, building the "Belt and Road" has promoted the flow of people and goods and promoted the interconnection of the whole region. From a global perspective, by the end of 2021, China has built 79 overseas economic and trade cooperation zones in 24 countries along the route, with a cumulative investment of 43 billion US dollars, creating 346,000 local jobs. In 2021, the trade volume of goods between China and countries along the Belt and Road reached 11.6 trillion yuan. These amazing figures prove that building the "Belt and Road" has effectively promoted the rapid development of countries and regions along the route.

  Chen Wenling: Over the past nine years, under the guidance of the concept of the community of human destiny, discussing, building and sharing has become a basic principle in handling relations between countries and carrying out international cooperation. Building the "Belt and Road" has made important and unique contributions in four aspects: First, it has made historic contributions to promoting the building of a community of human destiny. According to a research report of the World Bank, if the transportation infrastructure projects under the framework of "One Belt, One Road" are fully implemented, by 2030, it is expected to generate 1.6 trillion US dollars of global income every year, accounting for 1.3% of global GDP, of which 90% of the income will be shared by partner countries, and low-income countries and low-middle-income countries will benefit the most. Building the "Belt and Road" will help 7.6 million people in relevant countries get rid of extreme poverty and 32 million people get rid of moderate poverty. Second, make pioneering contributions to cooperation among countries and handling international relations. China has invested nearly $1 trillion to jointly build the "Belt and Road" and promoted investment from relevant countries. Third, make a leading contribution to promoting global peace and sustainable development. From 2013 to 2021, the annual trade volume between China and countries along the route increased from $1.04 trillion to $1.8 trillion, and the total direct investment in countries along the route was $161.3 billion. China and the co-construction countries have formed a benign interaction. Fourth,Make a unique contribution to solving the global governance deficit, trust deficit, peace deficit and development deficit. Building the "Belt and Road" has responded to the proposition of the times, contributed to the China concept, and embodied the pattern of China and China’s responsibility.

  Zafar Machmer: In Pakistan, people blow electric fans on a hot summer day; Young people who have just graduated have found jobs in local China companies and mastered new technologies; Smooth and wide roads bring more development opportunities — — The people’s sense of gain is the most fundamental reason for the widespread support for building the "Belt and Road". Building the "Belt and Road" not only realizes the connectivity of infrastructure, but also promotes the connectivity between people and countries. The achievements of building the "Belt and Road" are more and more deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

  Wang Zhimin: Generally speaking, the achievements of jointly building the Belt and Road can be summarized by "three links": in terms of "hard connectivity", the interconnection structure of "six corridors, six roads, many countries and many ports" has basically taken shape, and the "four in one" interconnection layout of land, sea, sky and network has been continuously improved; In terms of "soft connectivity", China standards have achieved a leap from following to leading in the fields of high-speed rail, nuclear power, communications and automobiles, providing technical support for building the "Belt and Road" with high quality. The latest statistics show that more than one third of the key infrastructure projects under construction in countries and regions along the Belt and Road adopt China standards; In terms of "heart-to-heart connection", in recent years, various social organizations in China have launched a series of activities such as "Bright Walk" and "Happiness Spring" in countries along the route, which has improved the happiness of people in countries along the route.

  Up to now, China has signed more than 200 cooperation documents with 149 countries and 32 international organizations to jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative. How to evaluate the role of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative in promoting cooperation and development and promoting global economic recovery? Why is it widely supported around the world?

  Luo Jianbo: Building the "Belt and Road" provides a new concept for new globalization, promotes the liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, and promotes the perfection of global industrial chain, value chain, service chain and supply chain; Building the "Belt and Road" has provided new impetus for the recovery of the world economy, activated the market demand of all countries, released the development potential of all countries, explored new trends in industrial development, and provided new kinetic energy for the economic development of all countries and the world; Building the "Belt and Road" provides a new path for global governance, a new platform for countries to work together for development, a bridge for countries to enhance mutual trust, and a driving force for solving global governance deficits, peace deficits and development deficits; Building the "Belt and Road" has also provided a new link for the exchange and mutual learning of human civilization. Through the humanities cooperation in education, science, culture, sports, tourism, health and other fields, it will promote the formation of a multi-interactive cultural exchange pattern among different nationalities, countries and regions, and promote the common development and prosperity of world civilization.

  Zafar Machmer: Pakistan is a staunch participant in building the Belt and Road Initiative. Among the mountains and valleys in northern Pakistan, hydropower stations built by China enterprises have been completed one after another, greatly alleviating the difficulties caused by long-term power shortage on China’s economic and people’s livelihood development and boosting sustainable energy development; In order to solve the problem of uneven power development in the north and south of Pakistan, Pakistani builders overcame all difficulties and jointly built a high-voltage DC transmission project across a large desert Gobi desert. The "main artery" highway running through the north and south of Pakistan has enabled the rich agricultural products in northern Pakistan to be exported smoothly, and the income of farmers has been greatly improved; With the rapid development of Gwadar Port on the southern coast, more and more opportunities are gathered here. From these cases, we can see that the "One Belt, One Road" initiative has a far-sighted top-level design, and it has a down-to-earth and hard work.

  Stephen Ndegewa: Many countries in Africa have been unable to get rid of the dilemma of backwardness for a long time and have a strong desire for development. Building the "Belt and Road" together has given us hope. Chinese often said, "It’s better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish". Building the Belt and Road Initiative has achieved this and enhanced the endogenous motivation of African countries. Take Kenya as an example. The Nairobi Expressway, which just opened this year, connects the airport with the city center, which can save people several hours of travel time and ease traffic congestion. The Monnet Railway and Lamu Port, which Kenya built with the help of China, not only increased local employment, attracted investment and boosted the economy, but also greatly promoted the interconnection of the whole East Africa. In other African countries and other continents, there are countless similar projects. Building the "Belt and Road" together is making real changes in these developing countries.

  Ivona Ladevac: The cooperation between Serbia and China is a model for Central and Eastern European countries to jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative. The two countries have continuously deepened cooperation under the bilateral and multilateral framework. There is a saying in China: "If you want to get rich, you should build roads first", which clearly shows the position of infrastructure in economic development. Serbian President Vucic also quoted this saying when he visited the "Belt and Road" project in Serbia and China. Serbia is a landlocked country, and many old infrastructures need to be improved. In recent years, the Hungarian Railway and the North-South Expressway in Montenegro, which China enterprises participated in, are part of the Pan-European Corridor, and some sections have been completed, which not only greatly facilitates people’s travel, but also improves the traffic situation in Serbia, strengthens internal connectivity and interconnection with neighboring countries, and is of great significance to national development.

  Wang Zhimin: The "One Belt, One Road" initiative is a Chinese plan for global governance and an international public product provided by China to the world, creating a brand-new platform for international economic cooperation. It breaks through the traditional "center — The pattern of "periphery" promotes the industrial integration and industrialization process between countries and regions along the route, and builds a mutually beneficial and win-win industrial chain and value chain system. Countries and regions along the "Belt and Road" are at different stages of economic development, with great differences in resource endowment and scientific and technological strength, but they all have their own comparative advantages. By docking with the development strategies of other countries, they have promoted the industrial restructuring and industrialization process of countries along the route.

  The Chairman of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech when attending the third symposium on the construction of the Belt and Road, pointing out that it is necessary to steadily expand new areas of cooperation. In the past nine years, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative has been deepened and deepened, and the scope and connotation of cooperation have been continuously expanded. How do you view the new changes and new connotations of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative with high quality?

  Chen Wenling: Over the past nine years, the connotation of the "Belt and Road" has been continuously enriched. Under the main framework of "six corridors, six roads, many countries and many ports", the "Belt and Road" has been promoted in a three-dimensional and multi-dimensional direction. Land, sea, sky, internet and ice (Arctic waterway) have been promoted in an all-round and three-dimensional way, and the digital silk road, healthy silk road, energy silk road and green silk road have been further developed.

  Luo Jianbo: In addition to traditional cooperation, there are three new growth points for building the "Belt and Road": digital technology, public health and capacity building. The landing of "small and beautiful" projects has enhanced the sense of gain of people in countries and regions along the route. Taking capacity building as an example, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has promoted developing countries to improve their economic and technological development capabilities. Thailand, Pakistan, Indonesia, South Africa, Kenya and other countries have set up Luban workshops one after another. With the help of vocational and technical education in China, local young people have mastered new technologies and skills and improved their employment competitiveness. Capacity-building also includes the exchange of experience in governing the country, promoting countries along the route to learn from each other’s experiences through party diplomacy, public diplomacy and non-governmental diplomacy, and jointly exploring development models and paths suitable for them.

  Ivona Ladevac: Building the Belt and Road with high quality conforms to the general trend of sustainable development. China strongly supports the green and low-carbon development of developing countries, and will not build new overseas coal-fired power projects, which reflects the responsibility and responsibility of big countries. At present, enterprises in China are helping us to build sewage treatment plants, vaccine factories and hospitals, all of which are urgently needed infrastructure. The areas of cooperation in building the "Belt and Road" are constantly expanding, constantly adapting to the needs of other countries, and glowing with vitality.

  Stephen Ndegewa: Over the past nine years, the "Belt and Road Initiative" has made great progress in countries and regions along the route. I believe that China and countries and regions along the route can continue to expand cooperation areas in the future, and strengthen cooperation in emerging fields such as cross-border e-commerce, smart cities, telemedicine, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, Internet of Things, and blockchain, and constantly give new meaning to the "Belt and Road Initiative".

  Wang Zhimin: The scope and connotation of building the "Belt and Road" are constantly expanding. In June 2016, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader proposed to work together to create the "Healthy Silk Road". After the outbreak of COVID-19, the demand for cooperation in the field of public health has risen sharply. China has provided anti-epidemic assistance to many "Belt and Road" partners, sent medical teams to many countries, and shared its anti-epidemic experience without reservation. At the same time, China suspended the debt repayment of 77 developing countries, actively contributed to the World Health Organization, and provided support for epidemic prevention and control and economic recovery in developing countries. So far, China has provided more than 2.2 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine to more than 120 countries and international organizations, transferred technology to more than 20 countries and cooperated in vaccine production, forming an annual production capacity of 1 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine overseas. These measures have played an important role in stabilizing the global economy.

  China has successively proposed the "One Belt and One Road" initiative, the global development initiative and the global security initiative, so as to build consensus and pool strength, and practice the concept of a community of human destiny with practical actions. How do you view the future development prospects of building the "Belt and Road"?

  Zafar Machmer: In the 21st century, the world is more and more closely linked, which is the historical necessity of human development and an irresistible historical trend. Chairman of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out that development is the right of all countries in the world, not the patent of a few countries. In order to solve the long-standing global peace deficit and development deficit, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader put forward the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative, pointing out a road for the world to work together for security, development and prosperity, which echoes the principle of "building the Belt and Road". In the past nine years, the development opportunities brought to the world and the tangible benefits brought to the people by the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" are the best footnotes for promoting the building of a community of human destiny. Looking to the future, building the "Belt and Road" has broad development space and opportunities, and will certainly make new contributions to the global people sharing development opportunities in the new era.

  Chen Wenling: Building the "Belt and Road" has paved the way for win-win cooperation and global common development for the whole world. Adhering to high standards, sustainability and benefiting people’s livelihood, and jointly building the "Belt and Road" will surely become the road of hope for people all over the world, the road of hope for world peace and development, and the road of hope for mankind to jointly pursue happiness and progress. We look forward to building the "Belt and Road", adhering to the principle of government building, market leading, enterprise main body and commercial operation, and paying more attention to small and beautiful projects that benefit people’s livelihood, so that the results can benefit people in more countries and regions.

  Stephen Ndegewa: Under the complicated international situation, China has always insisted on speaking out for other developing countries, upholding a fair and just international order and not letting any partner fall behind. After the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, China actively shared anti-epidemic materials and experience and technology when some countries engaged in "vaccine protectionism", and many countries felt that China was a truly trustworthy friend. Building the "Belt and Road" has created new possibilities for the common development of all countries and provided new options for maintaining a fairer international order.

  Luo Jianbo: Building the "Belt and Road" together is expected in the future. On the one hand, building the "Belt and Road" will unite international consensus for global governance, promote the further development of economic globalization, and create a new paradigm of international relations; On the other hand, building the "Belt and Road" will promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations of all countries and promote a more balanced and diversified development of the human civilization system.

Because no one responded to the sharing, dad retired from the family group! Is your family group still lively?

  A few days ago, a topic of "My father retired from the family group because no one responded to sharing" attracted public attention and boarded a hot search.

  In Weibo Middle School, the blogger "@ Zack Zhang Ningningning" shared his father’s story, "My father announced his withdrawal from the family group! Contemporary family ties are broken. " The screenshot of the chat shows that Zhang Dad shares his daily life in a family group of 8 people — — I’ve been drinking for 28 years. But after a day, only my daughter replied.

  The next afternoon, Dad Zhang sent a message: A family member is a small group that shares emotions, sorrows and feelings. No one pays attention to praise communication. This group has no meaning. Subsequently, he withdrew from the group chat.

  This Weibo has aroused the emotional resonance of many netizens, and many netizens said that they had similar situations and experiences. "Even if you don’t respond to the sharing link, it is normal to want to quit the group if you share your life seriously but have never responded." A netizen said.

  On April 28, the Red Star journalist contacted this party, Zhang Dad. He told reporters, "This group was probably established around 2015. It was still very lively when it was first built. After 2019, it gradually cooled down. Sometimes I didn’t respond when I sent a message. I really felt a little lost."

  ▲ The blogger "@ Zack Zhang Ningningning" shared the story of his father quitting the family group.

  "Dad left the family group."

  Dialogue I: I feel a little lost after quitting the group, but I also feel unprecedented relaxation.

  Dad Zhang is 53 years old and lives in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. He is engaged in management. The family group that appeared in Weibo was founded by his brother-in-law in about 2015. "There are three families in the group, my wife, my brother and sister. We have a very good relationship in real life and often make phone calls and voice calls. Later, family groups were established with the aim of strengthening their ties and facilitating communication. "

  For him, the most lively time in the group was three years after the group was founded. "At that time, people would chat interactively every day, say good morning to each other in the morning, and share their work and life today, so I think it is a good way to build a family group." Dad Zhang said.

  After the excitement, it was silent. I don’t know when, most of the relatives in the group are in a state of "diving".

  Dad Zhang said: "In the past, my wife often sent some anti-fraud videos to recommend to everyone, but after 2019, the group suddenly became deserted, and few people sent messages. We shared interesting things and good-looking content, except for my daughter. Few people replied."

  "I sent a message in the group, and I will definitely look forward to everyone’s response. In my opinion, this is the meaning of family groups. If I sincerely share it but no one replies, my heart will definitely be lost, not to mention the content we share is more meaningful. " Last Sunday, Dad Zhang shared a tweet in the group that "the public security department shot 17 anti-fraud videos in half a year to accurately expose fraud tricks" and expressed the hope that everyone would take the time to watch the videos to prevent fraud. However, after posting this tweet, no one replied. "I was really sad to open the group chat many times but found no reply." Until April 25, a similar situation appeared again, when he chose to quit the group in a rage.

  ▲ Last Sunday, Zhang Dad shared an anti-fraud tweet in the group but no one responded.

  However, Dad Zhang also expressed his understanding of the "coldness" of the family group. "After quitting the group, some relatives talked to me privately to explain, saying that they were really busy, so they didn’t respond. Now everyone’s work pressure is relatively high, relatives and children of the same generation are very busy at work, and everyone is drifting away because of differences in life, work and experience. "

  Dad Zhang said frankly: "After quitting the group, I feel more lost in my heart, and at the same time I feel more relaxed than ever, because I don’t have to stare at the group chat all the time and care about whether someone replies to me." In this regard, Dad Zhang said that after leaving the group, he will also use other ways to maintain his feelings with his family. "Our emotional foundation is still there, but in the future, it will be more point-to-point contact, such as talking privately with his brother-in-law, which will not affect the work and life of others."

  Is your family group still lively?

  Reporter’s investigation: "lively" is getting farther and farther, and "cold and cheerless" is more common

  With the rapid development of the Internet and social platforms, a number of WeChat groups based on kinship have been established. In 2018, a survey of 2005 respondents conducted by China Youth Daily Social Survey Center showed that 93.8% of the respondents joined the family WeChat group.

  Red Star journalists interviewed 10 Chengdu citizens randomly on the street, among which 8 citizens joined the family group and 2 did not, while 8 citizens who joined the family WeChat group all said that "there is little chat in the group except red envelopes" and "chatting only when something happens, and it is usually very deserted". Ms. Chen, a 27-year-old citizen, told reporters, "I have nothing in common with them (relatives in the family group). I have a young group, all of whom are little sisters. I like to chat with them."

  "Zhang Dad quit the group" caused emotional resonance among many netizens, while many netizens commented that they had similar situations and experiences. "The reporter browsed related topics and found that the family group chat shared by netizens includes but is not limited to these characteristics: the family group with one family as the unit has a high chat frequency, and the group with multiple families often has a low chat frequency; Older people chat more, younger people chat less, and younger people often play the role of echoing and cheering; The content of chatting in the family group is mainly rumors, anti-fraud videos and "chicken soup for the soul".

  ▲ Netizens said that the chat content in the family group is mainly based on rumors, anti-fraud videos and "chicken soup for the soul".

  At the same time, netizens also commented on many reasons why they don’t chat in family groups. Some people say that dealing with work every day is already a headache, and I really don’t want to reply in the family group after work; Some people say that the title party’s health knowledge and international events shared by the elderly in the group make people have no desire to reply; Some people also say that they are simply not good at expressing themselves and don’t want to speak in family groups, but their relationship with relatives and friends in real life is still very good … …

  Wechat family group has built a family cultural space in social media, but in fact, more and more people find that family group is not as "lively" as expected, and it has not achieved the expected function of providing contact and interaction platform for relatives in different living spaces.

  Similar to Zhang’s father’s experience, Zhang Chenchen, who was born in Shandong in 1996, showed reporters a screenshot of the date of a family group’s chat. Her family group only had people chatting for a few days every month, and the last chat was on February 26th, 2021, and the news record stayed on the content of her aunt @ her mother’s dinner.

  ▲ Family group chat shared by Zhang Chenchen.

  "Before 2019, the link between us and my uncle’s family was weak and the relationship was not good. Later, I thought that there was still a place where we could talk together, so I built a family group." Zhang Chenchen said that at first, families would often share their lives, send out red envelopes and take photos in groups, and sometimes they would have dinner through family groups, but the excitement would only last until May 2020.

  In Gao Cen’s thirties, family group is just a "cyber space" for Chinese New Year entertainment. "There are 25 people in the group (our family). The news is generally concentrated in the few days of the New Year, sending red envelopes and sending New Year videos. Sometimes there are dozens of messages a day, which is particularly lively." But usually, "cold and cheerless" is more of a state.

  ▲ The family group chat records shared by Gao Cen, the news is generally concentrated in the days of the New Year.

  Gao Cen is also reluctant to send messages in the group at ordinary times. "I’m very busy at work, and I’m already very tired during the day. When I go home at night, I sometimes see messages from my uncles, all of which are about grabbing tickets and preventing fraud. I can only reply ‘ Roger that ’ I don’t know what else to talk about. Moreover, when I came out to work, to tell the truth, I rarely thought of my relatives in my hometown. It is impossible to chat on my own initiative, and there are few common topics. If we don’t reply, the elders will rarely send messages. "

  For her, she doesn’t expect to gain emotional value in the family group, and her daily emotional sharing has another way. "I prefer to chat with friends and girlfriends. There are many topics. Every day in the group, the news is ‘ 99+’ . Many people in the family group are elders. They don’t use WeChat very much. If there is an urgent need to contact, they will call directly. "

  Among the interviewees interviewed by Red Star journalists, the phenomenon of "cold and cheerless" of family groups is almost common. After the initial "hot period" of building groups, most groups will gradually cool down, and their speeches and discussions will gradually decrease, and even eventually become silent.

  "This may have something to do with the harmony and personality of family members." Respondent Xiao Bai is a cheerful person. In her family, most of her relatives are lively people. "Everyone loves to express and communicate, and they usually walk close. As long as one person speaks in the group, everyone will come out soon. Of course, there are quite a lot of friends around me, and the family group is very weak. "

  "I feel that the relationship is getting farther away."

  The Spread of "Weak Relationship" Offline in the Network

  Watching the family group cool down, Zhang Chenchen felt that it was inevitable that the family group would become cold and cheerless. "The original intention of building a group is to enhance mutual affection. Later, we found that there are still many contradictions in life, and the family will be indifferent, so we can’t use WeChat group ‘ Repair ’ Even chatting is just superficial, so this group is gradually falling apart, and I completely forgot it. "

  For Zhang Shu in Guilin, Guangxi, the "showing off" and "comparing" of relatives in the group from time to time has become an important reason for him to "shield" his family group. "Because the uncle’s family is superior, he often shows off what kind of good job his son has found in the group, more than money and children. Sometimes we don’t know how to reply to him, and occasionally mentioning our own affairs will be strongly taught by him, so junior students generally don’t speak in the group."

  Zhang Shu said that if it weren’t for the dissuasion of his family, he might have retired from the group long ago. In their view, everyone is a relative. "Don’t be too embarrassed."

  ▲ Family group chat records shared by Zhang Shu.

  The reporter found that in these two family groups, the WeChat family group was expected to "repair the relationship". However, in real life, the differences in values between families and trivial life contradictions led to the alienation of family relationships, and the family group, as an extension of family relationships, was gradually deserted.

  Work group, classmate group, meal partner group … … Family group seems to be submerged in the waves of WeChat group chat, which has become the one that is ignored, but in fact, family group provides a convenient and fast communication platform for relatives far away from the ends of the earth and acts as a network link to contact family.

  Duan Wenjie, vice president of Chengdu Association for the Promotion of Barrier-free Environment and professor of the Department of Social Work of East China University of Science and Technology, told the reporter that relatives rarely communicate in family groups. From the perspective of sociology, this phenomenon actually reflects the dispersion of the strong and weak relationship formed between people from the real society to the network society.

  "Specifically, in the real society, due to the long distance between many family members and the lack of intersection in daily life, family feelings are relatively distant and intimacy is insufficient, which is the so-called ‘ A distant relative is better than a close neighbor ’ When encountering difficulties, family members who are far apart cannot provide timely help or provide opportunities for interaction. "

  ▲ Netizens said that family groups with their own families have a high frequency of chatting.

  Duan Wenjie said that this has also become one of the reasons for the formation of weak relationships among family members. "Even if the spatial distance can be narrowed on the Internet, the emotional distance still exists, and it is often shared in the group but no one responds. In fact, it is the spread of weak relationships in the real society in the network."

  "Although there are many family groups today, it is very deserted within the group. This phenomenon reflects that with the rapid development of modern society and the explosion of information in the Internet age, everyone’s cognitive level is highly diversified and stratified. Therefore, even in their own family circle, many people still feel ‘ We can’t talk together ’ 。” Analysis of Zhang Chengfeng, a senior family lawyer of Sichuan Mingju Law Firm.

  In her view, the family is the epitome of society, and the "stratification" in the family is mainly manifested in the following aspects.

  "The first is the diversification of wealth levels. For example, a family may include the middle class, high net worth people and ordinary people, and the span is very large. Due to the great gap between living habits and cognition caused by family economic conditions, it is also difficult to avoid misunderstandings. For example, ordinary life sharing may be considered as showing off. " Zhang Chengfeng said.

  "At the same time, because everyone’s growth environment, educational background and professional background are different, they all live in their own circles and form different living habits, behavior patterns and language communication systems. These factors have cast a natural ‘ Barrier ’ 。” According to Zhang Chengfeng, the complexity of this gap on the cognitive level is far greater than others. For example, some people pay attention to the short and trivial parents, while others are more concerned about the international situation. "I don’t care about what you care about, and you don’t care about what I care about. The topics and hobbies between each other are very different, and slowly they become speechless."

  How to warm up family relationships?

  Expert: We can start with discussing common topics, family memory and providing emotional support.

  So how to use the Internet as a "sharp weapon" to enhance the affection between relatives? Zhang Chengfeng said that improvements can be made in the following aspects.

  "In the face of family affection, we can give full play to our subjective initiative and actively promote and discuss common family issues, such as providing for the elderly, the marriage of the younger generation, family dinners on holidays, etc., to improve the frequency of communication between relatives."

  She took Zhang Shu, Guilin, Guangxi as an example to analyze. Uncle Zhang Shu’s superior family background and showing off and comparing in the group from time to time made him feel uncomfortable, so this family group was not lively. "But a family group is made up of many people. If the affection is indifferent, the reason is that the two sides have not managed a good relationship together. At this time, what we have to do is to understand, tolerate and accept, actively promote the emotional link between each other, and at the same time promote the development of family relations in a more benign direction. "

  At the same time, she also stressed that we should not expect too much from family groups. "We need to uphold ‘ Seeking common ground while reserving differences ’ Attitude. Despite the natural link of blood relationship, it is actually very difficult for two people in the family to achieve a high degree of spiritual harmony and nourish each other. Therefore, it is necessary for relatives to talk more about common topics and reduce or avoid conflicts caused by different opinions and viewpoints. "

  In Duan Wenjie’s view, the "weak relationship" between family members can be transformed into "strong relationship" by adopting different forms, enhancing the frequency of interaction with family members, strengthening emotional ties, increasing intimacy and increasing interest exchange.

  "For example, sharing valuable content in a family group, discussing topics that can involve other group members, and participating in some interactive games or activities together can enhance the frequency of interaction with family members." Duan Wenjie emphasized that we can also discuss common memories, share the living conditions of the elderly at home, actively respond to others’ sharing, positively praise and comment on family members’ circle of friends, video chat, etc., which can strengthen emotional ties and intimacy.

  On the other hand, we can also take the initiative to understand the daily life of family members, understand their troubles and difficulties and provide help as much as we can, which is helpful to establish mutually beneficial family relations.

  "Of course, we can also learn some communication skills to promote communication with family members and provide good emotional and social support for each other." In conclusion, Duan Wenjie believes that under the joint management of family members, we can make full use of the channel of Internet and the platform of WeChat family group, and turn the "cold and distant weak relationship" into a "warm and loving strong relationship".

  In the eyes of Fan Ping, a researcher at the Institute of Sociology of China Academy of Social Sciences, family groups are actually "blood groups", not necessarily "common life groups" or "interest groups", so the sense of link between them will be weak.

  "If you want to promote the close connection between family groups, living together is the key. In addition to the ties of consanguinity, families can also establish corresponding social ties besides consanguinity, such as taking care of each other at work and generating economic ties, as the saying goes ‘ Eat in a pot ’ 。” At the same time, we need to pay attention to the scale boundary between family relationship and personal life. Too close family relationship may also bring some "sweet" burdens.

Distribute learning and reference materials related to government information disclosure, and provide support for the government information disclosure staff in the whole region to carry out their work according to laws and regulations. The column of government information disclosure collects 23 systems and documents related to government information disclosure as institutional support. We will improve the mechanism for pre-disclosure of major administrative decisions and the release and interpretation of policy documents, solicit opinions from the society before and after the disclosure of major administrative matters and announce the adoption of opinions. Policy documents and interpretation plans and materials will be organized, examined, signed and deployed simultaneously. 34 district-level units, 19 towns and 6 streets have compiled and published a complete list of voluntary disclosure of government information in their own units, effectively promoting the standardization and standardized management of voluntary disclosure of information. Make a "pocket book" to optimize the business environment and a "one window" service guide for towns (streets) in Shunyi District to meet the needs of enterprises and the masses, so as to be used by the window staff of towns and streets.

  (four) the construction of government information disclosure platform

  According to the spirit of the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Printing and Distributing the Guidelines for the Development of Government Websites (Guo Ban Fa [2017] No.47) and the Implementation Opinions of the General Office of Beijing Municipal People’s Government on Implementing the Guidelines for the Development of Government Websites (Jing Zheng Ban Fa [2017] No.51), on January 1, 2019, the website of "Beijing Shunyi District People’s Government" was officially put into operation after intensive integration. In the whole year, the total number of visits to the website was more than 8.72 million, and the total number of information releases was more than 36,000. The website operated well and no security incidents occurred.

After watching After Me, they asked themselves why they drifted north, and their answer was …


Special feature of 1905 film network Movies and online dramas are the most popular film and television works recently.

The box office of Later Us exceeded 1.1 billion, and director Rene Liu became the highest-grossing Chinese female directors in history. "Beijing Women’s Picture Book" was launched for 26 days, with a cumulative broadcast volume of 1.06 billion.

These two films and TV plays are very topical at present, and they all point to the old-fashioned topic — — North drift.

Although everyone has been talking about "fleeing" in recent years, countless people still stay or come to this city every year. Some people are for ideals, some are for love, and some are for making money … …

Xiao Dianjun’s colleague sent a circle of friends late at night after watching "Later Us". "There are very few dramas drifting north. After watching it, I can ask myself why I came to Beijing."

Similarly, when Xiao Dianjun saw the eighth episode of Beijing Women’s Picture Book, he once asked himself why he came to Beijing. However, sometimes such questions can’t be answered directly.

Just like in "Beijing Women’s Picture Book", Chen Ke moved into a single apartment from the basement. From admiring LV bags to being able to bear limited brand handbags, she would also ask herself, if this goes smoothly, why did she come to Beijing in the first place?

By the eleventh episode, the complete works lamented that it was difficult to return to their hometown. Yes, no matter how long you stay in Beijing, in the eyes of some people, you are still a foreigner; When you return to your hometown, you are already a "city dweller" in the eyes of your hometown people.

After the beginning of "drifting", there has always been a problem of identity. Only when you are with friends will you have a sense of existence.

Although the two films mentioned above focus on girls, we can’t ignore Jing Bo Ran’s role as a "boy drifting north" represented by Lin Jianqing in Later Us.

To this end, Xiao Dianjun found six younger brothers born after 90 to listen to their stories of drifting north.

X,Film director, 28 years old, drifting in the North for 4 years.

In the eyes of friends, X is a person who can live very well. Even if there are more film projects in the company, he rarely sees things about work in his circle of friends, and it is difficult to hear him talk about the "misery" of work at the party.

In his mouth, he can always "spit" everything at work into fun. Think that this is the fourth year of his "drifting north". Fortunately, I just jumped from the public relations advertising industry to the film planning industry last year.

For him, this is a new beginning.

Thinking of coming to Beijing four years ago, the purpose is simple — — For love. At that time, the object had been working in Beijing for one year, which also made him pack his bags and rush to Beijing immediately after graduation. Of course, in his eyes, there are more opportunities in Beijing and his horizons will become broader.

After arriving in Beijing, they lived together for four years and never moved. Living outside the East Fourth Ring Road is an old house, but it is big enough for two people, and occasionally I can entertain a few friends for dinner. On holidays, two people will definitely not stay at home, but will definitely go to parks or museums to find novelty.

They planted a bunch of green plants on the balcony. On holidays, when the sun just shines in, they will sit there and play games. In his eyes, isn’t life like this? Usually, he doesn’t go to bars himself, and several friends live nearby. When he has time, he will drop in, basically watching movies and playing games.

It seems that in the eyes of some people, this daily life is too dull. However, if it hadn’t happened in Beijing, even if it had returned to my hometown, this state of life might not have been established.

B,IT industry, 27 years old, drifting north for 4 years.

This year is the fourth year of B drifting north, and it is also the fourth year of graduation. In the eyes of other friends, he is in a seemingly good state — — With an annual salary of nearly one million and a Beijing work permit, the next step is to consider the problem of buying a house.

However, looking back at the past few years of graduation, it was not so smooth. Born in e-commerce, he chose to start a business in the city where the university is located at the beginning of his senior year. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long, and the first bucket of gold didn’t earn much, so he ended in failure.

Later, when the school recruited, I voted for Ali’s resume, which is one of the places that most people with e-commerce majors want to go, but unfortunately they didn’t get it.

Later, after going around, I finally received an offer from M’s family, and I started a trip to the North.

Now, B, who is ready to consider buying a house in Beijing, is living more and more frugally. Living outside the West Fifth Ring Road, if the rent rises in 400 yuan, it will change to a cheap house, even if the area is getting smaller and smaller. Usually, if you work overtime for a long time, you will wait until after 9 o’clock before leaving the company, because you can reimburse yourself by taking a taxi. However, often because of the location of the residence, master Didi has not taken the order, and he will wait until 11 o’clock or even 12 o’clock in the company.

Recently, in order to save money, B borrowed money to enter the stock market. However, the state of the stock market is not as he hoped, and it has been trapped. No, the most frequent growl I hear from him every day is "I lost it again today!"

E,Book editor, 26 years old, drifting north for 2 years.

A few days ago, e just got a train ticket in the circle of friends, which read "the third year of entering Beijing."

In fact, e sometimes still doesn’t know whether she came to Beijing because of someone else’s words or because of the so-called ideal. After graduation, e did not go to Beijing immediately, but played a safety card: he worked in the school for one year.

At that time, he had a date for more than four years. Before coming to Beijing, he had been hesitating about feelings. Until one day, the object said that if you think about bad results because you are going to be away from home, it means that neither of them has been serious about this relationship.

Of course, I broke up later because of a long distance.

At the beginning of Beijing, E was in a hurry and ran into the south wall. At one time naked resignation stayed at home for a long time. But it was that unemployment that E gradually touched the magic of Beijing. For him, Beijing is full of opportunities.

Nowadays, E is slowly gaining a foothold. Although it can’t be said that it is excellent, at least in the industry, with its own fixed circle of friends, if you really encounter any problems, you can also find corresponding friends to help solve them.

Usually, I don’t go clubbing, just stay at home. Except for going out to watch a popular cinema film occasionally, there seems to be no other excessive daily arrangements. Every time I ask him, what are your plans now? He would say, I want to save more money and travel once a year.

L,Film and television publicity, 25 years old, drifting north for 2 years.

To be precise, l only graduated for two years. However, if you count college time, he has actually stayed in Beijing for six years. Why did you come to Beijing? Maybe to stay away from parents, after all, big cities will be more diverse and inclusive.

I majored in journalism, but I have never had any news ideals since my freshman year. I have been practicing frequently since my sophomore year, trying to find a way I like.

From the very beginning, the program director, to the editor of WeChat official account, to the user operation of the travel website, and finally started the internship related to movies by mistake.

When I graduated, I broke up with my partner who had been together for more than two years. Fortunately, my career was not bad, and a well-known film and television company in an industry successfully turned positive.

Generally speaking, the past two years have not been very good. In the past two years, I moved four times, my long-distance relationship was green, my virtual currency lost money, and my home was stolen … … Anyway, I met all the things I should have met and shouldn’t have met. It’s just this inch. After working for two years, the bottleneck has also appeared: at work, it does not reflect value; In life, parents rush back to get married as soon as they call.

Career planning and life planning are becoming more and more chaotic. But fortunately, I have always been optimistic and want to stay in Beijing.

Y,Advertising industry, 24 years old, drifting north for one year.

Y has been considering whether to stay in Beijing or leave Beijing this year.

When I was an intern in my senior year, I wanted to feel the freshness of Beijing, so I invested in a 4A company. After the internship, I also successfully turned positive directly. I have been working for less than a year, and I have already started to take small projects.

The company is near Sanlitun, but it has been living in the northeast Fourth Ring Road, simply because the rent is cheap. Y is a typical young man’s state. On Fridays and Saturdays, he likes to hang out in bars with friends, but he doesn’t drink much, only one glass at most.

Usually on Fridays, he likes to work overtime in the company until 10 o’clock, and then go to eat a hot pot or something like midnight snack with his friends. After 2 o’clock, the nightclub doesn’t charge tickets, and then he goes in for a high meal. If friends leave early, he is used to sleeping on a friend’s sofa. After all, it is too expensive to take a taxi back from the Drum Tower.

When I went home for the Spring Festival this year, I chatted with my friends in my hometown about my experience in Beijing and suddenly had the idea of going to Shanghai. In his view now, Beijing is too big, and even after staying for one year, he still hasn’t found a sense of existence.

W,Artist agent, 23 years old, drifting north for 4 years.

W After failing in the college entrance examination, I came to Beijing. At that time, the idea was very simple, and there must be many opportunities here. When I first came to Beijing, I did almost everything, but it was not the most tiring time.

Later, I slowly began to adjust my work. Starting from the artist’s publicity, I followed the first-line male stars, also took the flow actresses, and was also dragged to take the film project. Tired? In fact, I was very tired. I was busy until midnight and fell asleep directly in the hotel bathtub. When running publicity with artists, I hardly stayed at home for two months; When I was sick, I stayed at home alone, and it was really unbearable to call my friends for help.

Last year was probably the most carefree year and the most "miserable" year for W. In the middle of the year, I completely ended my cooperation with the flowing male stars and entered a long-term unemployed life. Although an olive branch has been thrown at him, it has not been accepted.

This time, he really wanted to rest. After working as an artist for so many years, his life and rest were irregular, which led to his poor health.

Recently, he officially said in a circle of friends that he was going to take up his post again, but this time he brought a newcomer who had just returned from overseas. Compared with previous artists, this newcomer has not produced any works.

However, in his view, never underestimate the potential stocks, who knows what will happen in the future.

Seeing this, Xiao Dianjun wants to ask, are you living in your hometown or wandering around?

SAIC MG’s new car is coming, and the semi-solid battery life is over 1,000, and the people-friendly price is expected!

The MG brand of SAIC will launch an eye-catching brand-new model next year, which was first announced on social media by Zhou Shuo, general manager of MG brand division. This new model will be equipped with cutting-edge semi-solid battery technology, and the price is quite close to the people, indicating that the new energy vehicle market will usher in a new trend.

It is reported that the core highlight of this new model lies in its semi-solid battery technology. This kind of battery not only has an energy density as high as 300Wh/kg, but also has a battery life of over 1,000 kilometers. What’s even more amazing is that it supports quasi-900V ultra-fast charging technology, which can add more than 400 kilometers of cruising range to the vehicle in just 12 minutes. This technological innovation will undoubtedly greatly alleviate consumers’ anxiety about the endurance of pure electric vehicles.

When revealing this news, Zhou Shuo stressed that although the new car is equipped with such advanced technology, its price positioning is very close to the people. This strategic decision will undoubtedly attract more consumers’ attention and further promote the popularization and development of new energy vehicles. The introduction of semi-solid battery technology not only improves the performance of vehicles, but also makes a significant breakthrough in safety. The battery adopts solid electrolyte, which ensures the ultra-high safety of the battery from the battery core level, and can realize that the whole package of L0 has no heat spread and no fire, providing consumers with a more secure driving experience.

In addition to semi-solid battery technology, this new model will also be equipped with a new generation of DMH hybrid system of SAIC. The system has been successfully applied in D7 DMH and Roewe D5DMH, and won wide recognition in the market with its excellent performance and environmental protection characteristics. The re-application of this new model will undoubtedly further enhance its market competitiveness.

Promoting scientific and technological innovation with "internet plus"

  The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee put forward the idea of "deeply implementing the innovation-driven development strategy and giving play to the leading role of scientific and technological innovation in all-round innovation". China has entered the Internet era. To implement the innovation-driven development strategy and build an innovative country, we must promote the development of "internet plus Science and Technology" and innovate the development model of science and technology in China.

  Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out that "science and technology are the primary productive forces". Although China is an economic power, and its GDP ranks second in the world, it is not yet an economic power. One of the fundamental reasons is that China’s scientific and technological innovation ability is still relatively weak. In September this year, the World Intellectual Property Organization, Cornell University and Yingshi International Business School jointly released the 2015 Global Innovation Index. Among the 141 economies in the world, Switzerland, Britain, Sweden, the Netherlands and the United States ranked in the top five, and Chinese mainland ranked 29th.

  The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee put forward the idea of "deeply implementing the innovation-driven development strategy and giving play to the leading role of scientific and technological innovation in all-round innovation". China has entered the Internet era. To implement the innovation-driven development strategy and build an innovative country, we must promote the development of "internet plus Science and Technology" and innovate the development model of science and technology in China.

  First, promote the disclosure of scientific and technological information with "internet plus". For a long time, there has been a problem of repeated research and development of science and technology and repeated investment in science and technology funds in China, which not only wastes the time and energy of science and technology workers, but also wastes the limited science and technology funds of the central and local governments. An important reason for this situation is "information asymmetry", that is, a science and technology worker does not know whether others have carried out relevant research, and a science and technology department does not know whether other science and technology departments have funded similar projects.

  Internet is a connector to eliminate "information asymmetry". For example, through the establishment of a national unified Internet-based information platform for scientific and technological projects, cross-regional and cross-departmental information sharing of scientific and technological projects can be realized. Before funding a project of a scientific and technological staff, the competent department of science and technology should first inquire about similar projects and the funded situation of the scientific and technological staff, so as to avoid repeated investment in scientific and technological funds. The research results of non-confidential scientific and technological projects invested by the government should be made public to the whole society through the Internet. The contents published through the Internet include the general situation of scientific and technological projects, research reports, published related papers, experiments or test data, developed samples and prototypes, etc.

  In the field of scientific research, many European and American countries have launched an "Open Access" movement, aiming at opening up the scientific research results funded by the government to the public. The governments of these countries believe that scientific research funds come from taxpayers and scientific research results should be open to taxpayers. In 2013, the Obama administration issued an executive order requiring that government-funded research should be open to the public free of charge within one year of its publication, involving 15 units including the National Science Foundation, the Ministry of Education and NASA.

  In September this year, the Central Office and the State Council issued the "Implementation Plan for Deepening the Reform of the Science and Technology System", proposing "to fully implement the national science and technology reporting system, establish a service mechanism for sharing scientific and technological reports, and take the submission and sharing of scientific and technological reports as the basis for subsequent support to the project undertaker". To this end, a national database of scientific and technological reports should be established, in which non-confidential scientific and technological reports should be made public to the whole society through the Internet.

  Publicizing scientific and technological information through the internet can not only reduce repeated research and development and repeated investment in scientific and technological funds, but also make scientific and technological workers truly "stand on the shoulders of giants"; But also can promote the docking of supply and demand between scientific and technological development units and potential users, and improve the transformation rate of scientific and technological achievements in China; We can also reduce some other bad phenomena in the field of science and technology by introducing social supervision, such as rent-seeking and corruption caused by black-box operation of science and technology projects, appropriation of other people’s scientific research achievements, forgery of experimental data or products and other misconduct.

  Second, promote the sharing of scientific and technological resources with "internet plus". The Implementation Plan for Deepening the Reform of the Science and Technology System proposes to establish a unified and open national network management platform for scientific research facilities and instruments, bring all qualified scientific research facilities and instruments into the platform management, and establish an open sharing system and operation subsidy mechanism for major national scientific research infrastructure and large scientific research instruments. In addition to scientific research facilities and instruments, scientific and technological resources include scientific and technological talents, scientific and technological capital resources, scientific and technological information resources and natural resources.

  To carry out collaborative innovation and make scientific and technological work form a joint force, we must promote the sharing of scientific and technological resources. The key to promoting the sharing of scientific and technological resources is to find out the family background, clarify the present situation of scientific and technological resources in China, and eliminate the "information asymmetry" between the supply and demand sides of scientific and technological resources. For example, establish a national database of scientific and technological talents, and include scientific and technological personnel with senior titles or doctoral degrees in the national database of scientific and technological talents. The data items include basic information such as name, date of birth, place of origin, educational experience, hosting or participating in scientific research projects, scientific research achievements and contact information. Integrate scientific and technological information resources such as scientific documents and scientific data, establish scientific and technological databases and platforms, and provide scientific and technological information services through the Internet.

  Third, promote the innovation of science and technology model with "internet plus". Whether it is an enterprise, a university or a scientific research institution, the number of scientific and technological personnel it has is always limited, and the ability of scientific and technological personnel is often limited. Many enterprises, universities and research institutes have encountered scientific and technological problems that cannot be solved by the scientific and technological personnel of their own units alone.

  In recent years, a new model-Internet crowdfunding has emerged in the field of scientific and technological innovation. American innovation websites have gathered more than 300,000 people around the world and have solved 1,700 top technical problems for the world’s top 500 enterprises. "How to accurately predict solar flares and keep the space shuttle from bad weather" has puzzled NASA scientists for 30 years. In 2010, this puzzle was published on this website. 120 days later, Bruce Kragen, a retired radio engineer in New Hampshire, provided the solution.

  As the saying goes, the master is in the people and the wisdom is in the people. At the executive meeting of the State Council held on June 24th this year, Premier Li Keqiang pointed out: Great things can be achieved by gathering wisdom from many people. We should give full play to the superposition effect of "China wisdom" and inspire the wisdom of hundreds of millions of people through the Internet. Scientific and technological innovation through internet crowdfunding can make regions and units that are short of scientific and technological talents realize "not wanting everything, but seeking use" for scientific and technological talents, and to some extent alleviate the problems caused by the uneven distribution of scientific and technological resources in China.

  Fourth, promote the development of "intellectual property rights in internet plus". Intellectual property is the most important embodiment of scientific and technological innovation, and the competent department of intellectual property should do a good job in the creation, application, protection, management and service of intellectual property with Internet thinking.

  Support the construction of third-party intellectual property information platform, eliminate the "information asymmetry" between intellectual property owners and potential intellectual property buyers or users, and promote the docking of intellectual property supply and demand and the transformation of scientific and technological innovations. Strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights by using the internet. Publicizing the information of intellectual property law enforcement cases through the Internet, effectively deterring infringers. Accelerate the construction of intellectual property credit database, intellectual property credit information system and intellectual property credit information network, and carry out joint credit punishment on legal persons and natural persons who maliciously infringe intellectual property rights, so as to increase their opportunity cost of breaking the law. Implement online services, and let users know the acceptance, review progress and review results of their patent applications in a timely manner through the App of the competent intellectual property department. Support intellectual property service institutions to innovate business models through "internet plus". Support third parties to establish intellectual property service apps, integrate intellectual property service resources, and provide online consultation, online trading, online comments and other services.

No.9 electric car: starting from the high end, trapped in the niche.

Text | Niu Dao Finance Jiang Tong

With the success of Company No.9, Gao Lufeng entered the Red Sea of electric bicycles.

The electric bicycle industry is extremely involuted, which goes deep into villages and towns in China. It is not easy to get out of many enterprises, and the secret of the success of Company No.9 is the differentiated high-end.

Not long ago, Company No.9 held a new product launch conference. Gao Lufeng, founder and chairman of No.9 Company, said, "Based on our scientific and technological innovation and market insight, we hope to make the blue ocean bigger and the red sea blue, and win-win with the market and users."

In the eyes of the public, Company No.9, which firmly occupies the high-end market of electric vehicles, seems to be the most promising king to subvert the electric vehicle market.

However, if a fish knows how to drink cold and warm, it will become a high-end company, and at the same time, Company No.9 can’t escape the niche.

For a long time, the sales volume of No.9 electric vehicle is not at the same level as that of Yadea and Emma.

According to Sina Finance, in 2022, the total annual sales volume of electric scooters and electric bicycles in Yadea was 14.01 million, while the annual sales volume of Emma’s electric bicycles and electric two-wheeled motorcycles was 10.51 million. According to the annual report of No.9 Company, as of March 2023, the cumulative domestic shipment of No.9 electric vehicles was 1.5 million.

With such a big sales gap, can Company No.9 really rely on hard-core technology to achieve counterattack?

Relying on science and technology, Company No.9 is firmly in the high-end market.

In 2012, Gao Lufeng and Wang Ye jointly founded Company No.9, mainly involved in the field of short-distance transportation.

Different from ordinary entrepreneurs, Gao Lufeng, who graduated from Beihang University majoring in aircraft manufacturing, has been focusing on science and technology and innovation since the beginning of his business.

Gao Lufeng once said: "The company’s performance growth is mainly based on continuous innovation, constantly improving the scientific and technological content of products and enabling products to land."

At that time, Company No.9 successfully earned the first bucket of gold by relying on the first generation of intelligent balance cars with self-balance status.

Around 2013, with the rapid growth of mobile phone business, Xiaomi announced the "Xiaomi Ecological Chain" plan, and prepared to invest in 100 AIoT enterprises in the next five years.

Gao Lufeng was keenly aware that this was an opportunity for the rise of Company No.9, so he reached a cooperation with Xiaomi Company. In 2014, with advanced science and technology, Company No.9 became a member of Xiaomi’s ecological chain, and received A-round investment of more than 80 million US dollars from stars such as Xiaomi, Sequoia and Shunwei.

Facts have proved that Gao Lufeng’s choice is very correct, and cooperation with Xiaomi has indeed laid the foundation for the future development of No.9 company.

On October 19, 2015, with the official appearance of the No.9 balance car at the Xiaomi conference, Lei Jun also announced that it would be sold in Xiaomi omni-channel, and the No.9 balance car quickly became popular in the market and instantly became a phenomenal explosion product.

At the same time, in order to improve the technical core strength of No.9 Company, in 2015, No.9 Company successfully acquired Segway, the originator of the world balance car. After the completion of the acquisition, Company No.9 not only owns more than 400 global industry core patents, but also becomes a global leader in the field of intelligent short-distance transportation.

Since then, with the development strategy change of No.9 Company, the balance car is no longer its core business, but its concept of product strength has not changed.

According to the data of iResearch, one of the important elements that more and more consumers consider when buying a car is intelligent function.

The No.9 electric vehicle has a strong lead over other products in software and intelligent technology. In December 2019, Company No.9 officially released its first intelligent electric two-wheeled vehicle, which not only has a product design with both practicality and recognition, but also brings a subversive riding experience with its technological sense design. Many No.9 users feel that "No.9 is Tesla in the electric vehicle industry", which will be unforgettable once it is used.

With advanced scientific and technological design, the No.9 electric vehicle has quickly occupied the high-end market of smart electric vehicles since its listing.

According to the annual report of No.9 electric vehicle, in 2020, the sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle will exceed 100,000 in the first year of listing; In 2021, the production and sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle reached 420,000, with a year-on-year growth rate of 300%; In 2022, the sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle was 826,000, with a year-on-year growth rate of 96.6%.

According to the data of "White Paper on Two-wheeled Electric Vehicle Industry in China in 2023", Company No.9 has always been the first in the high-end market of two-wheeled electric vehicles by continuously focusing on brand technology innovation. According to the comprehensive sales data of two-wheeled electric vehicles in 2022, among the high-end product lines of more than 5,000 yuan, the sales volume of Company No.9 is in the first position in the industry, among which among the top10 models with sales volume of more than 5,000 yuan, Company No.9 has 8 models on the list.

In October, 2020, Company No.9 was listed in science and technology innovation board, Shanghai Stock Exchange, and successfully completed a gorgeous turn of a startup.

02 high-end positioning, but in the embarrassing position of small profits.

With the rapid development of No.9 company, its revenue level has been rising in recent years.

According to the annual report of Company No.9, in 2020, Company No.9 realized annual revenue of 6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 30.88%, turning losses into profits for the first time, and the net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was 73.3264 million yuan; In 2021, Company No.9 achieved annual revenue of 9.146 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 52.36%, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was 411 million yuan; In 2022, the revenue exceeded 10.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.7%, and the net profit returned to the mother was 451 million yuan.

However, although the operating income statement of Company No.9 is strong, its gross profit margin is not optimistic or even ugly.

According to the financial report of No.9 company, although the company’s operating income has increased year by year and the growth rate is not low, its gross profit margin has been declining all the way.

From 2018 to 2021, its gross profit margin was 28.86%, 27.42%, 27.69% and 23.23% respectively.

Although compared with other two-wheeled electric vehicles, the gross profit margin of No.9 electric vehicle is very considerable, but as a brand focusing on the high-end market, its revenue has increased well, but its gross profit margin has been declining, which is not a good sign.

All along, Company No.9 has been in an awkward position of small profits, which has a great relationship with the deep bundling of Xiaomi Company.

In the early days, relying on the big tree of Xiaomi Group, Company No.9 did not worry about order income even though its wings were not full. In 2017, Xiaomi Group contributed more than 1 billion yuan in orders to Company No.9, accounting for 74% of its total revenue; In 2018, Company No.9 received an order of 2.434 billion yuan from Xiaomi Group.

However, although the income is good, it is difficult for suppliers to obtain high profits because Xiaomi products win with cost performance.

According to the prospectus No.9, the products of Company No.9 are in a state of small profits because Xiaomi products are oriented to cost performance and mainly adopt the profit sharing model. From 2017 to 2019, the gross profit margin of Xiaomi’s products sold by No.9 Company was 22.46%, 20.79% and 15.11% respectively, while the gross profit margin of No.9 Company’s own brand was as high as 42.58%, and the gross profit margin of Xiaomi’s products was significantly lower than that of its own brand products.

In order to increase the gross profit margin, Company No.9 chose to gradually untie Xiaomi Company and reduce the proportion of Xiaomi products in the company’s operating income.

I have to say that this move has indeed improved the gross profit margin of Company No.9.. According to the financial report, in 2022, the gross profit margin of Company No.9 rose to 25.97%, up 2.74 percentage points year-on-year. However, the net interest rate of Company No.9 also dropped to 4.43%, down 0.03 percentage point from the same period of last year.

At the same time, after leaving Xiaomi, the performance growth of Company No.9 is basically at a standstill.

Although the revenue and net profit of Company No.9 in 2022 still showed a double increase trend, compared with 2021, the growth rate of revenue and net profit returned to the mother dropped significantly.

In this regard, Company No.9 explained to the media that due to the epidemic situation, the logistics in some areas was interrupted, which led to the shortage of some important raw materials and parts of the company, resulting in delayed delivery.

However, Zheshang Securities analyzed that there will be some pressure on the short-term income of Company No.9, which is actually related to the decline of Xiaomi channel income.

Obviously, although Company No.9 wants to leave Xiaomi to achieve soaring, it seems that the road ahead is not easy.

03 quality problems are frequent, and the prospect of No.9 is not optimistic.

What’s even more embarrassing is that although Company No.9 relies on powerful intelligent technology to achieve cornering overtaking in the two-wheeled electric vehicle market, its product quality problems are frequent, so it has been criticized by many consumers.

According to Shandong Business Daily, in June 2022, Ms. Liao, who lives in Shantou, Guangdong Province, bought a No.9 n70c electric bicycle worth 3,599 yuan in a local No.9 electric bicycle shop.

Unexpectedly, less than half a year after the purchase, there were various failures. Although several dashboards were replaced, they still failed to solve the problem. There are still system failures such as black screen, Bluetooth unable to connect, and APP showing that the vehicle is offline, but the vehicle has been unable to start and use normally, and it has become an electric brick.

On the black cat complaint platform, there are more than 8,100 complaints about No.9, most of which are about quality problems such as "the battery starved to death", "the intelligent system failed during the warranty period" and "the electric vehicle has great safety hazards".

In addition to frequent quality problems, consumers are also very dissatisfied with the after-sales service of No.9 company.

A consumer said on the black cat complaint platform that his No.9 electric car had 40 batteries left, but it broke down and couldn’t be started at all. After contacting the store, the other party asked him to send it to a 12-kilometer store by himself. After contact, no one handled it, and the store said that only one master could not come to the door. He was very disappointed with the after-sales attitude of Company No.9..

In the sampling inspection of relevant departments, the No.9 electric vehicle also failed many times.

In October 2022, Beijing Fengtai District Market Supervision Administration announced the results of product quality supervision and spot check in 2021, which showed that a No.9 electric bicycle produced by No.9 Technology Co., Ltd. was found to be unqualified, and the items involved were "speed warning sound and short circuit protection".

With more and more consumers complaining about the quality of No.9 electric vehicle after use, it will inevitably bring bad reputation to No.9 company.

Recently, in order to find a new growth curve, Company No.9 began to touch the "other economy", hoping to find a new competitive advantage in the unique consumption field of young women.

However, although this group has great consumption potential, it obviously has higher requirements and pays more attention to consumption quality, experience and service.

If Company No.9 can’t actively improve after-sales service and product quality, then the new growth curve may be just a mirage and may not be realized.

Although the dream of Company No.9 is good and it has advantages in the field of intelligence development, it still needs a lot of efforts to make the blue ocean bigger and the red sea blue.

Looking at the World and the American Party Struggle | The Republican Party "plays" Biden Biden and "talks" Trump

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 30-The House of Representatives, controlled by Republicans in the United States, held a hearing on the 28th to open an impeachment investigation against Democratic President joseph robinette.

  On the same day, Biden "fired at" former Republican President Donald Trump at the event, calling the latter and his fans "extremists" and a threat to American democracy.

  Open "play"

  The House Oversight and Accountability Committee held the first hearing of impeachment investigation on 28th, aiming at finally proving Biden’s illegal behavior in overseas business activities engaged by his second son Hunter. The theme of the first hearing is the legal basis of impeachment investigation, and the witnesses summoned are legal and criminal investigation experts.

  James Comer, the chairman of the committee and a Republican, said at the hearing that Biden had "abused his power" and "there was a mountain of evidence". Jonathan Terry, a witness summoned by Republicans and a law professor at George Washington University in the United States, said that although the current evidence is enough to launch an impeachment investigation, it is not enough to charge Biden. Michael gerhardt, a witness summoned by Democrats and a law professor at the University of North Carolina, believes that the current evidence is not enough to support the impeachment investigation.

  With the "preparations" in the early stage of the presidential election in the United States next year, the wrestling between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party has become increasingly fierce. Trump, a popular Republican potential candidate, has been criminally prosecuted four times this year, involving the case of "secret affair", "hush money" and suspected of overthrowing the results of the 2020 presidential election. In the Republican-dominated House of Representatives, Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced on the 12th that he would open an impeachment investigation against Biden on the grounds that Biden was suspected of "abusing power, obstructing justice and corruption".

  Trump and his supporters say Democrats are launching a political offensive in an attempt to prevent Trump from re-entering the White House. The Democratic Party also accused the Republican Party of playing politics against Biden.

  A White House spokesman said on the 28th that the hearing that day was "an unfounded stunt" and Biden would still "focus on the priorities of the American people rather than such political games". Jamie Ruskin, a Democrat member of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, questioned the legitimacy of the Republican impeachment investigation "without a vote in the House of Representatives" and "without conclusive evidence". "If Republicans get a gun with a smoking muzzle, or even a dripping water gun, they will show it today." Ruskin said, "But they have nothing."

  After the hearing, Comer instructed to collect more records of private and commercial bank accounts of Hunter and Biden’s younger brother James.

  Democrats also showed a countdown clock at the hearing, accusing Republicans of continuing to push the impeachment investigation despite the dispute over the appropriation bill, which led to another "shutdown" of the US government. Ruskin said that there are only 62 hours left before "closing the door", "but Republicans are impeaching on the basis of lies that have already gone bankrupt."

  Talk about it.

  Biden pointed his finger directly at Trump at an event in Arizona on the 28th, saying that the main potential opponent of next year’s US presidential election is the threat of American democracy. Arizona is a so-called "battlefield state" where the democratic and Republican parties compete fiercely.

  The day’s activity was to celebrate the opening of the library to commemorate former Republican Senator John McCain who died of illness in 2018. Mccain was Trump’s sworn enemy.

  According to Agence France-Presse, during Trump’s previous criminal prosecution, Biden has always avoided commenting on Trump’s lawsuit, but now he no longer evades and directly attacks Trump personally.

  Biden said, "Some dangerous situations are emerging in the United States." "Trump said that the Constitution gives him ‘ The right to do whatever you want ’ … … (He said this) with the heart of revenge. "

  Biden described Trump and his die-hard supporters as "extremists who have no common democratic beliefs with us".

  Trump, who mentioned media reports, once called American soldiers captured and killed in the war "fools and losers". Biden asked whether his eldest sons bo Biden and McCain were also "fools and losers". Both of them served in the army, and McCain was captured in the Vietnam War.

  In response to Biden’s remarks, Trump’s campaign team responded that "the ultra-left Democrats headed by Biden are the biggest threat to democracy in the history of the United States." (Hui Xiaoshuang)
