　　From "Three-body" to The Wandering Earth, from sci-fi literature to sci-fi movies and TV shows, since the 21st century, the number of high-quality domestic sci-fi literary works has increased from less to more, the group of sci-fi creators has been expanding, and the new Chinese-style sci-fi narrative discourse of the national, scientific and popular people has gradually formed, all of which indicate that "a new era of science fiction in China" has arrived.

　　Imagination is on the wings of soaring.

　　For a long time in the past, when it comes to the shortcomings of China’s science fiction, some people think that China’s writers and artists lack imagination.

　　That was not the case. Looking back at the history of China literature and art, we can see a large number of stories and works with high quality and imagination everywhere: fairy tales such as Jingwei’s reclamation and The goddess patching the sky imply creative fantasy paths, and many poems (poems about immortals), essays (strange essays, strange notes) and novels (fairy tales and fairy tales) are engraved with rich and wonderful fantasy factors.

　　Although those fantasies are not "scientific fantasies", the seeds of imagination have long been deeply rooted in the soil of China’s traditional culture. China sci-fi creators who grew up in this land naturally have imaginative genes, and their imaginative perspectives have unique national characteristics different from their western counterparts. In recent years, China’s new generation of sci-fi literature and art has been writing incessantly, and excellent works have appeared frequently, all of which are closely related to this imagination.

　　For example, Liu Cixin’s "Three-body" creatively combines the development of science and technology with the "Three-body Problem", deeply digs into the mysterious techniques of Zhouyi and exquisite Mohist institutions, and makes China historical figures such as Zhou Wenwang and Mozi shine on the same stage as foreign scientific giants such as Newton and von Neumann, thus showing the world in nationality. The imaginative descriptions such as dehydration, soaking and two-way foil in the works enable readers to appreciate the diversity of cosmic civilization from a drop in the ocean.

　　For another example, Fei Deuterium’s "China Science Fiction Blockbuster" breaks through the traditional expression of science fiction, and combines China’s ancient mythology, the way of Confucius and Mencius, the theory of Laozi and Zhuangzi, Buddhist meditation and the common elements in science fiction — — Cyberspace, space exploration, and the end of mankind are all mixed together, telling a story with grotesque colors but profound implications, which makes the works show extremely distinctive China characteristics.

　　In addition, Wang Jinkang’s Mercury Sowing, Han Song’s Tombstone of the Universe, and Diptera’s Ecological Ball in the Universe are also full of rich imagination. The authors of these works lead everyone into a unique sci-fi space by building a future picture that transcends everyday life. There are time-space folding, AI awakening, star tearing, light speed transition, black hole drifting, alien invasion, and Chinese’s perspective of observing the world and thinking about the future.

　　From the aesthetic point of view, the essence of the imagination of sci-fi works is the understanding of the relationship between works and reality, involving the world outlook, material outlook, the relationship between the real world and the imaginary world of the imaginary subject or the recipient. Therefore, although science fiction is about the imagination of the future, many of its contents have the transcendence of facing the future, but they also have the localization based on the national cultural tradition. If China science fiction wants to develop, it is not how to stimulate the imagination of the creators, but how to imagine the universe and the future of mankind from the perspective of China. Only in this way can we create a science fiction world and imagination aesthetics different from the West.

　　Science and technology provide hard core support

　　Imagination is an important factor affecting the creation of science fiction, but it is not the only factor. After all, science fiction is not a simple fantasy.

　　Whether it is science fiction literature or science fiction film and television, they are born on the basis of the continuous development of science and technology. Throughout the 200-year history of world science fiction literature and art, every breakthrough in science fiction literature and art can not be separated from the leap-forward development of science and technology. For example, space travel and gene cloning, which science fiction fans are familiar with, more or less reflect the scientific and technological innovations in the real world.

　　On the one hand, the sci-fi ideas in sci-fi works are mostly constructed on the basis of scientific theories. For example, the "dark forest law" in Three-body is related to Fermi paradox, evolution theory and Hawking’s cosmic prediction in reality. On the other hand, real scientific and technological achievements provide realistic support for sci-fi imagination. For example, the nano-flying blade, particle collision, proton blockade and water droplets in Three-body are the extension of the research results in the micro-world, and the clones, new intellectuals and virtual life in Roses of Carthage and Strangers reflect the application of cutting-edge biotechnology. In addition, the development of science and technology has also enriched the theme of science fiction literature and art. In recent years, new themes such as "StarCraft", "Steampunk" and "Cyberpunk" in the field of science fiction literature and art are all related to the popularity of these concepts in real life.

　　If imagination is inserted into the soaring wings of sci-fi literature and art, then science and technology provide hard-core support for sci-fi literature and art, and help sci-fi literature and art "fantasy come true". This is because the creation of sci-fi works such as sci-fi movies needs strong industrial strength and technical strength to provide support. The film and television of "Three-body" has been brewing for many years, and it was not until the technical level reached the requirements in 2015 that it was filmed. Many devices in Wandering Earth 2 have "prototypes" in reality. For example, the ubiquitous mobile robots in the film are all robot products in reality; The cool mecha that can be transformed into "Hercules" in the film is an "exoskeleton robot" that has entered the real application. In short, the rapid development of science and technology has provided sci-fi creators with materials to write and inspiration, and also provided material basis and technical means for the creation of sci-fi movies, making the sci-fi world more "touchable" and "sensible".

　　At present, a new wave of science and technology represented by artificial intelligence, quantum engineering and genetic engineering is emerging. In this wave of science and technology, China’s achievements are obvious to all, and it has realized "observing the sky with the eye of the sky", "exploring the moon with Chang ‘e" and "Kuafu" day by day, all of which provide inexhaustible power for China sci-fi creators to fly their imaginations. We believe that with the support of technology and the efforts of creators, China science fiction will surely usher in the spring of a hundred flowers.

　　Humanistic feelings shape the core of value

　　Three-body, whether it is The Wandering Earth or not, has become a phenomenal sci-fi work, not only because of its fantastic ideas and hard-core technology, but also because it is different from the individual heroism in western sci-fi works, conveying the humanistic spirit and values with unique China characteristics combined with sci-fi sense, which can best represent the characteristics of China’s sci-fi.

　　In the The Wandering Earth, Liu Peiqiang’s great righteousness in boarding the space station has the love of protecting his family, and Tu Hengyu’s determination to sacrifice for mankind is full of deep love for his daughter. They attach importance to family ties and care about the dedication and sacrifice of the world, which is an expression of Chinese feelings inspired by the feelings of home and country. In the works, it is not an individual who finally saves the crisis, but everyone’s Qi Xin’s concerted efforts. Without everyone, there is no small home. The work shows the audience what collectivism is and perfectly explains China’s idea of "isomorphism between home and country".

　　Paying attention to the future and destiny of mankind is the common theme of science fiction works all over the world. However, different sci-fi works give different answers to how to deal with the common challenges of mankind. Unlike some foreign sci-fi works, which pin their hopes of changing human destiny on a few superheroes, China’s sci-fi works advocate the establishment of a community of human destiny. Whether it is Three-body, The Devourer or Micro-Era, it vividly depicts the alliance of human beings against natural disasters in the universe and the impact of alien civilization, reflecting Chinese’s world outlook and values.

　　From the perspective of "the community of human destiny", China’s sci-fi works have also expanded the ethical dimension with a global perspective, not only paying attention to the major powers in the world, but also focusing on the third world countries neglected by the mainstream sci-fi creators in the world. For example, Glory and Dreams shows the stubborn resistance of the "Republic of West Asia" to hegemony and colonialism. At the same time, with the increasingly severe global challenges, China’s sci-fi creators have also added thoughts on the ethics of life science and technology and the ethics of ecological science to their narrative ethics, calling on everyone to unite and struggle for the common interests of all mankind from a transcendental perspective, which reflects the value concept of "harmony and symbiosis" and the idea of "one world under one family" in China culture.

　　No matter from the perspective of creation or industry, there is still a gap between us and developed countries in science fiction, but this gap is narrowing. China science fiction is constructing a completely self-consistent logic system and value system, which will profoundly affect the trend of the world science fiction pattern. In the future, China’s sci-fi creators should pay attention to and describe the common challenges faced by mankind from a broader perspective, explore the ultimate destiny of mankind, and build a sense of "community of human destiny", which is not only the pattern that sci-fi creators should have, but also the inevitable requirement for China’s sci-fi to become bigger and stronger.

On March 18th, Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China presided over the the State Council executive meeting to clarify the departmental responsibilities and division of labor in the Government Work Report and ensure the completion of the main objectives and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year; Deploy and promote the sustainable development of agriculture and accelerate agricultural modernization. The meeting held that "agriculture, countryside and farmers" is the top priority of the government’s work, and it is necessary to keep the momentum and investment in agriculture constant, deepen the pace of reform, focus on changing the development mode, take the road of new agricultural modernization, ensure national food security and promote farmers’ income.

Just after the two sessions of the National People’s Congress, the State Council held a standing meeting to study the deployment of agricultural development, taking the government work report as the main line, taking the Government Work Report approved by the National People’s Congress as the "responsibility book" for the government to make a commitment to the people of the whole country, and adopted the National Agricultural Sustainable Development Plan, which determined to promote the stable and sustainable development of agriculture from three aspects, fully demonstrating the country’s concern for the "three rural issues" and its high attention to the sustainable development of agriculture.

According to public reports, in 2014, China’s total grain output reached 1.21 trillion Jin, and the per capita grain possession was nearly 900 Jin, both of which reached the highest level in history. Huang Ansheng, director of the China Office of the United Nations World Food Program, once revealed to the media that the current global food security situation is not optimistic. Although the number of hungry people in the world is generally decreasing, the problem of hunger is still serious, and the number of hungry people in North Africa and the Middle East is still increasing. According to the latest hunger report released by the United Nations, nearly 870 million people in the world are chronically malnourished, and about 852 million of them live in developing countries. In this case, China’s remarkable achievements in food security are particularly valuable. Is leading the world. However, the more so, the more soberly we should realize that, while our arable land area is approaching the per capita occupancy limit, no matter how strictly the farmland protection policy is implemented, the overall area will only decrease rather than increase, and the room for increasing grain output will become smaller and smaller. How to ensure that the total grain output will not decline and continue to stabilize and increase grain yield, we must optimize the agricultural production layout, strictly protect cultivated land, stabilize the grain sowing area, and adopt deep ploughing and deep loosening to improve the quality of cultivated land according to the requirements of the State Council. This is not only related to the major fundamental livelihood issues of Chinese where China grain is always in the bowl, but also related to the harmony and stability of the country and society.

If agriculture is the foundation of national economic development and social stability, then food production is the foundation of this foundation. In the thousands of years of historical development in China, "instability without agriculture" can be described as an eternal lesson. The importance of food security is self-evident. China’s population accounts for nearly 20% of the world’s total population. China can solve the food security problem of its own population, and in a sense, it has made great contributions to the world. In fact, in recent years, we have not only solved the problem of feeding our own population, but also achieved rapid economic development and "oversupply" in grain production. These remarkable achievements are really impressive. On the whole, the oversupply of grain production is mainly due to the national policy of benefiting farmers and the increasing investment in science, technology and mechanical agriculture, which makes the grain yield high. However, with the rapid development of agricultural science and technology, the current household contract responsibility system has been difficult to meet the requirements of modern agricultural development, which not only ensures the interests of farmers’ land contractual ownership, but also realizes farmers’ income increase and agricultural development. The executive meeting of the State Council proposed that we should make full use of the system reform, promote various forms of moderate scale operation and improve labor productivity and output level on the basis of stabilizing family business. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, all localities should, in accordance with the requirements of the central government, allow farmers to take shares in contracted management rights to develop agricultural industrialization.Encourage the transfer of contractual management rights to large professional households, family farms, farmers’ cooperatives and agricultural enterprises in the open market, and develop various forms of scale operation.

With the decrease of cultivated land year by year and the extreme use of land, there is very limited room for the growth of total grain output in the future. China is also a country with frequent natural disasters. There may be "eleven consecutive increases" in grain, but there may not be "twelve" or "thirteen" or even n consecutive increases. Food security will never end. From a long-term perspective, it is not impossible to present a grain crisis with a little carelessness. To this end, the the State Council executive meeting proposed to implement major projects such as water and soil resources protection, agricultural and rural environmental management, promote the conservation of efficient water, prevent and control farmland and aquaculture pollution, strengthen the protection of forests, grasslands, wetlands, rivers and lakes, and develop ecological recycling agriculture. In view of this, local governments must establish a high sense of crisis in farmland protection and grain production, completely change the concept of "land finance" to ensure that the "red line" of cultivated land is not broken. Secondly, we will continue to increase the policy inclination to agricultural production, especially grain production, formulate a long-term mechanism to improve farmers’ enthusiasm for growing grain, encourage and promote the legal and orderly circulation of rural cultivated land, change the traditional planting mode, and promote the transformation of agricultural production to "scale". In addition, increase the propaganda of saving food, form a good atmosphere of saving food in all walks of life and fields, encourage and promote the catering industry to formulate an "anti-waste" management system that is suitable for its own business development and acceptable to consumers. Generally speaking, it is to grasp the agricultural momentum and investment, deepen the pace of reform, focus on changing the development mode, and take a new road of agricultural modernization.Ensure national food security and increase farmers’ income. With the stability of grain as the foundation, all social undertakings can develop steadily, which is not only related to the stability of our own country, but also to the responsibility of a big country for the peaceful and stable development of the world.

　　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.

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?

　　Industrial machine tool is the "machine tool", which is the foundation of manufacturing industry and has an important supporting position in the national economy; Robot is an important symbol of scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing level, and it is also the new blue ocean of manufacturing industry in the future.

　　Yangzhou industrial machine tool industry has a long history and a solid foundation, forming the characteristics and advantages of taking metal forming machine tools as the main part, cutting machine tools as the supplement, and high-end single (set) equipment to drive the development of complete production lines. Especially in the field of metal forming machine tools, it is unique. Four of the top 10 domestic metal forming machine tool manufacturers are in Yangzhou. However, compared with advanced regions, there are still problems such as small overall scale and insufficient industrial support, which need to be continuously exerted to promote the upgrading of the industrial chain.

　　I have three suggestions: First, promote the backbone enterprises to become bigger and stronger, aim at expanding the industrial scale, and concentrate superior resources to cultivate key enterprises. The second is to consolidate the supply chain foundation of the industrial chain and promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional parts supporting enterprises to intelligent greening; Carry out professional investment promotion in the field of machine tool supporting, and strive to make a breakthrough in the local supporting of key core components. The third is to strengthen the platform construction of integration of production and education, guide key enterprises to strengthen cooperation with institutions of higher learning, and promote the construction of integration of production and education.

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.

Recently, Mercedes-Benz officially announced that Beijing Mercedes-Benz domestic EQE model will be officially launched on August 24th. Beijing Benz EQE is also the first joint venture brand luxury medium and large pure electric car officially launched in China. It is reported that the new car has been pre-sold: the pre-sale price is 530,000 yuan, 550,000 yuan and 590,000 yuan respectively. In terms of positioning, it is also equivalent to the size of Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase. In terms of power, it will be equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 215kW, and the maximum cruising range of CLTC will reach 752km.

EVA platform to create the appearance of "small EQS"?

As the first pure electric car produced in China based on EVA platform, firstly, in terms of appearance, EQE inherits the design style of EQS, the fully enclosed front grille is integrated with the headlights on both sides, and the headlights are irregularly designed, which has good recognition. In addition, in order to please young consumers, the front enclosure of the new car has adopted a sharper design, and the three-stage cooling opening shape is also in line with the aesthetic feeling of young people for sports.

On the side of the car body, the consistent elegance and stretch of Mercedes-Benz models are undoubtedly revealed at this EQE. Without the "bondage" of gasoline engines, the whole side of the new car is more like a "spaceship", and in terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4969mm/1906mm/1509mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 3120 mm. Except for the length of the car, other dimensions are ahead of the E-class long wheelbase, but the design of the sliding back may sacrifice part of the overhead space in the car.

The penetrating taillights, "duckling tail" and rear bumper are decorated with diffusers instead of the visual effect of exhaust, which makes the whole tail more integrated and echoes the design of the front.

The interior looks like the cash S-class. Continue to follow the "nightclub style"?

As one of the "interior killers", Mercedes-Benz has always been very good at rendering the atmosphere inside the car and showing luxury. It is also reflected in this EQE: large-area wood grain or special texture panel decoration, embracing center console surface, through air conditioning outlet, blue and white interior color matching symbolizing new energy, exquisite door panel decoration and other details are not absent, even "exactly the same" as the new S-class.

However, it is a pity that none of the three models made in China this time have Hyperscreen three-screen linkage system, and at present, they do not support optional installation, which may be because they hope to control the cost and open the gap with the imported version EQS, while the new car will be equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 12.8-inch vertical suspended central control panel. Even so, the overall interior is not inferior in terms of luxury and technology.

In addition, according to the previously published interior official map, the domestic EQE will also inherit the "nightclub style" of other family models in the atmosphere light, and according to speculation, this atmosphere light will not only surround the central control, the body and the door handle, but even be arranged in the seat part.

The rear drive single motor has a battery life of 752km.

The three electric systems of Mercedes-Benz EQE are all produced by Beijing Benz. The first three 350 models are single-motor rear-drive versions, and are equipped with permanent magnet synchronous motors with a maximum power of 215kW and a peak torque of 530 N m. The capacity of NCM811 battery pack is 96.1kWh, and the officially announced maximum cruising range of CLTC can reach 752km.

Write at the end:

For the new energy market, domestic models have already been laid out, and the performance of previous EQA, EQC and other models is flat. Whether the upcoming Beijing Benz EQE can break through the sales of Mercedes-Benz in the new energy market by relying on its excellent interior atmosphere, excellent chassis adjustment and brand blessing. We will wait and see how EQE will perform in the future.
