On the one hand, the internship chaos still exists in some vocational schools, and on the other hand, the internship attitude of some students "muddling along" needs to be changed urgently-internship

  Reading tips

  At present, vocational school students, who are becoming a hot topic in the talent market, are criticized by many parties for their internship. A few vocational schools, under the banner of "school-enterprise cooperation", "work-study alternation" and "on-the-job internship", make students become cheap labor by various compulsory means. At the same time, many vocational school students practice "muddling along" and "learning passively". How should vocational school students "cross" during the transition period of entering the factory?

  "Students only entered the school last year, all around the age of 16 or 17. After the school urged parents to pay tuition fees, they told the students to go to a factory in Zhejiang for an internship for 4 months." Recently, without prior notice and consent, a vocational school in Mianyang, Sichuan arranged for students to go to other provinces for internships in early September, which instantly made parents "explode". Although the school explained and adjusted the internship arrangement in time, the extensive social discussion triggered by this incident still added a "real hammer" to the social evaluation of the vocational education that is striving for progress.

  At present, vocational school students, who are becoming a hot topic in the talent market, are criticized by many parties for their internship. On the one hand, the chaos of "cheap workers" and "selling heads" still exists in some vocational schools, resulting in the loss of students’ rights and interests and complaints from parents; On the one hand, some vocational school students have a negative mentality of "muddling along" and "learning passively" after entering the factory, which makes the school fall into an embarrassing situation of being in a dilemma and being puzzled by enterprises.

  How should vocational school students "cross" during the transition period of entering the factory? "Internship should be’ reliable, but also reliable to practice’" has become a common voice heard by workers daily reporters in the process of multi-party interviews.

  16-year-old students have to work 12 hours a day.

  Just after paying the tuition fee of 9160 yuan to the children, I was told that on September 15th, the school would take the students away from Sichuan to practice in other provinces. I not only had to work 12 hours a day, but also took the night shift, and the internship position was not in line with my major … Less than a week after the start of school, Ms. Zhao’s words were filled with anger when she talked about the arrangement of the children who were studying in the second year of vocational school. "I’m still a 16-year-old student, and I haven’t learned much professional knowledge. How can I do it?"

  The reporter found that the vocational school involved mentioned by Zhao Nvshi was repeatedly appealed to public opinion in recent years because of students’ internships, and some of them broke the news that they threatened students to participate in internships with their diplomas. However, the school has always insisted that the internship fully complies with the students’ voluntary. In the recent turmoil, the school stated that "students can also find their own internships in enterprises, and for night shifts, they will communicate with enterprises according to the actual situation of students and make adjustments."

  Vocational education can not be separated from practice in a vast world. It is particularly important for vocational school students to practice in actual jobs and combine what they have learned in class with their work practice. As early as April 2016, the Ministry of Education and other five departments jointly issued the "Regulations on the Management of Students’ Internship in Vocational Schools", which set the bottom line for internships in a targeted manner; In 2021, eight departments, including the Ministry of Education, revised this regulation again, marking one "no" and 27 "no" as internships. However, from the reality, it seems that it is still difficult to effectively ban the "student workers" chaos.

  "Although it is a very small number of vocational school behaviors, it has a very bad impact on the overall development of vocational education." During the interview with the reporter of Workers Daily, many vocational school enrollment and employment leaders said that under the banner of "school-enterprise cooperation", "work-study alternation" and "on-the-job internship", students were made into cheap labor by various compulsory means, which not only violated the rights and interests of interns, affected their employment outlook, but also made more parents afraid of their children’s vocational education choices.

  Critical "warm-up" period in the workplace

  "Internship in an enterprise is a key’ warm-up’ period for vocational school students. In the final analysis, the school is the most critical’ gatekeeper’." Chengdu Communications Senior Technical School has been established for more than 40 years, and is currently cooperating with Chengdu Rail Transit Group Co., Ltd.. In recent years, relying on the superior resources of state-owned enterprises, the school has actively explored a new model of "state-owned enterprises building a platform and integrating production and education" to effectively open up the "last mile" of vocational education and industrial demand.

  "High-quality internship is related to the quality and image of vocational education." The relevant person in charge of the school said that through the construction of off-campus training bases and the development of professional training courses, the teaching content and teaching methods were optimized, which not only met the actual employment needs of enterprises, but also escorted the internship work of students. Up to now, the school has accumulated more than 4,000 high-skilled talents in the field of rail transit for the first line of operation.

  "After eight months of internship, I quickly realized the role change after I officially entered the job." At present, opening order classes has become a common practice in vocational schools, and Tian Dandan, a graduate of 2019 power distribution class in Chengdu Communications Senior Technical School, is one of the beneficiaries. As the only order class of power distribution specialty in the school year, during the internship last year, all 21 students entered the first-line internship of their counterparts, and each student was given one-on-one guidance by Fu, a senior engineer where a shift was located.

  "The updating iteration of power distribution professional equipment is fast, and book knowledge will lag behind the actual situation of the production line. Internship is an important buffer period for combining theoretical digestion with practice." Tian Dandan feels particularly lucky that the order class has high-quality internship guarantee. From entering the real working environment for the first time, to listening to the on-site teaching at close range for the first time, and then earnestly completing the practical tasks assigned by the instructor, Tian Dandan can feel his subtle progress every day, whether it is psychological or ability level, which is getting closer and closer to the job requirements. After the internship expired, she was assigned to the Bailianchi Operation Monitoring Workshop of Chengdu Metro Operation Co., Ltd. for trial use. "It is still in the inspection period, but I am confident that the customs clearance will be successful."

  There is also a vast world in entering the factory.

  Carry out flood control inspection, fire control inspection, replace the fire extinguisher seal, and clean the equipment … In fact, due to the particularity of power distribution work, Tian Dandan can only do some very single auxiliary work during her internship, which involves the troubleshooting of related equipment, and looks from a distance at the designated location. However, due to her diligence and hard work, she is highly appreciated by the master, and she "sees" the doorway little by little and learns the skills.

  "We all cherish the’ reliable’ interns." After graduating from vocational school for more than ten years, Yang Jianlin, the process director (program) of the technical center of Chengdu Ruixue Fengtai Precision Electronics Co., Ltd., has gradually moved from the grass-roots level to the management post, and has also grown from a former apprentice to a master of others, and has also really felt the change of the internship atmosphere of vocational school students. "In the past, we begged the master to teach us, but now we are begging the students to study hard."

  "Training is not a trial, but a teacher to teach experience. Many things can’t be learned in school, but they can only be taught by hand, but not all students will take it seriously." Yang Jianlin told reporters that junior positions in enterprises often don’t get higher salaries, so even if enterprises and schools have established cooperation projects, it is a reality that they can’t keep people. "Some vocational school interns’ muddle along’ and’ learn passively’ in order to complete their training and get their diplomas".

  "It is obviously not long to avoid’ heavy’ and’ light’. It is a lifelong career development path to gain a skill through job training." Yang Jianlin said that it has become a national strategy to develop vocational education and cultivate artisans in big countries. Many policies such as further education, certification and conversion of skill levels are leaning towards vocational school students, and there is a broad world to look forward to when they enter the factory. I hope this can be further recognized at the social level. (Reporter Li Na)

Self-reliance is the last word. Putin gives a tough answer to Russia-US relations.

  On May 7, Putin was sworn in as President of the Russian Federation for the fourth time. This has brought Russia-US relations at the freezing point into the era of "Putin 4.0". Economic sanctions, military containment, and regional games have become an unavoidable whirlpool in Russia-US relations. Some analysts said that in the short to medium term, Russia-US relations are hard to surprise and may even continue to deteriorate.

  The next six years will be a great test for Putin and Russia in charge. Can this big ship named "Russia", with Putin at the helm, break the ice between Russia and the United States and realize the rhetoric of "give me 20 years and return you a strong Russia"? Putin gave a tough guy’s answer: now Russia is like a phoenix reborn from nirvana. Nothing will prevent Russia from determining its own future, and no one can stop the "Russian" ship from moving forward. Self-reliance is the last word.

  Moscow, May 7, 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks at the inauguration ceremony held in Moscow Kremlin.

  In the face of the US "sanctions storm", Russia concentrates on practicing its internal strength and regards economic development as its core driving force.

  Since the Ukrainian crisis in 2014, the United States and Europe have successively imposed economic sanctions on Russia. Especially since US President Trump took office in 2017, he has set off a series of "sanctions storms" against Russia. Western sanctions have made the external environment for Russia to achieve its own development and breakthrough more and more severe.

  Under the circumstance that "sanctions" seem to have become the background color of Russia’s relations with the United States and Europe, how Russia uses its existing resource advantages to solve the most urgent internal development problems is a major problem that Putin will continue to solve in his new term. At present, although the Russian economy has improved slightly, it still faces great challenges.

  In his inaugural speech, Putin pointed out that it is necessary to develop the economy, pay attention to internal affairs and people’s livelihood, and honor pre-election promises. For example, to implement reform measures, activate economic vitality and achieve economic and technological breakthroughs, especially to enhance Russia’s competitiveness in key areas, increase investment in infrastructure construction, accelerate the introduction of digital technology, promote urban and rural modernization, and improve social welfare.

  Alexei Mu Xin, director of the Russian Political Information Center, believes that the conflict between Russia and the United States is an economic conflict, not a war conflict, and both sides have suffered certain losses. He said that since the Ukrainian crisis, the United States has used sanctions to try to launch an economic "blitzkrieg" against Russia, expecting Russia to be soft under sanctions and comprehensive pressure and accept American conditions. Facts have proved that the American attempt has failed.

  In response to the US military containment, Russia "shows muscles" strongly, but it has not given up the dialogue channel.

  Almost at the same time that Putin began his fourth presidential term, US Naval Operations Secretary John Richardson said on the 4th that he would restart the US Navy’s Second Fleet, which was dissolved in 2011, in order to curb the expansion of Russian maritime power and deal with Russia’s security threats.

  In fact, Russia’s military ability to resist foreign aggression is relatively strong. It has more resources to exert its military power and arouse the fear of the other side than to confront the United States and Europe economically and diplomatically, and it is relatively easy.

  Putin’s State of the Union address this year showed a series of Russian latest military scientific and technological achievements in a long space, which not only shocked the United States, but also shouted to western countries that its economic sanctions and military containment against Russia "didn’t work".

  Curtov, editor-in-chief of Russia’s National Strategic Issues magazine, said that in view of the fact that the United States regards Russia as its main strategic competitor, its policy toward Russia is becoming increasingly tough, and it is engaged in political and military confrontation with Russia, as well as the development of the situation in Syria, in order to cope with this situation, Russia may spend huge sums of money on national defense. Curtov said that although Russia has made great achievements in the fields of aviation, space and weapons, it has not developed enough in the fields of electronic information, which makes it impossible for Russia to win quickly and with little damage in the face of military conflicts. Moreover, in the short to medium term, such conflicts between Russia and the United States will continue.

  In 2010, Russia and the United States signed a new version of the Treaty on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, which set a new upper limit for the strategic nuclear weapons of the two countries. The treaty came into force in February of the following year and is valid for 10 years. Mu Xin believes that the further development of the Russian-American conflict may lead to the failure of the negotiations on updating this treaty.

  Russia is also actively seeking dialogue in the face of the US’s artificial hostility towards Russia. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said on May 3, 2018 that if the United States can match its words and deeds on some issues, then Russia is willing to negotiate with the United States on the arms race and other global challenges.

  In regional conflicts and great power games, Russia has actively carried out multilateral diplomacy and demonstrated its geopolitical ambitions.

  In recent years, the practice of international affairs has proved that the handling or solution of some international problems cannot be separated from Russia’s active participation. Washington post said that Putin’s foreign policy reflected the rising geopolitical ambition of Russia. In addition, according to the latest poll released by Russia on the 7th, most Russian citizens believe that Putin’s main achievement is to restore Russia’s status as a great power.

  Mu Xin believes that despite the constant regional game between Russia and the United States, Russia-US relations are unlikely to change in the short term, but Russia has made significant changes in other diplomatic directions and actively enhanced its influence. In Europe, Russia will work closely with some European countries including Germany. He believes that different from the attitude of most NATO members towards Russia, some European countries prefer a moderate policy of "looking north", so Russia will resume and strengthen contacts with these countries.

  In the Middle East, Russia may strengthen its ties with Israel. As an important participant in Middle East affairs, and with the help of close cooperation with Iran, Russia can play a role as a link between Iran and Israel. Around the conflict between the Iranian nuclear deal and the United States, Israel and Iran, Russia can mediate and avoid the escalation of the conflict between the two sides.

  In East Asia, Russia will further strengthen cooperation with China. At the same time, strengthen contacts and business contacts with Japan, South Korea and Vietnam. Relations with India and Indonesia are also an important part of Russia’s Asian policy, and strengthening cooperation with eastern countries may be one of the characteristics of Russia’s foreign policy in the next few years.

  The next six years will not be easy for Putin and his team. However, as Putin emphasized, a difficult test is a springboard and a brand-new starting point for Russia’s development.

Insiders: China films can be expected within 10 billion years.

  Where is the ceiling of the single box office of China movies? What are the common characteristics of those movies that have exceeded 1 billion at the box office? What are the advantages of China film marketing company compared with the traditional Hollywood film marketing? Can movie word-of-mouth really be made? Yesterday morning, the forum "How to Advance to the Billion Box Office" sponsored by Phoenix Entertainment was held in Beijing. As the official forum of the 8th Beijing International Film Festival, Zhu Weijie, Chairman of Infinite Freedom Media, Yue Xiang, Chairman of Red Fruit Culture Communication Co., Ltd., and YIN FANG, an actor, were invited to attend the event, which was hosted by Zhou Liming, a famous film critic. Four guests from different film posts made an in-depth analysis of the current film market in China.

  In this year’s Spring Festival, two films, Operation Red Sea and Detective Story 2 in Chinatown, made an impressive box office breakthrough of 3 billion, while the previous "Ex-3: Goodbye to Ex-3" had a cumulative box office close to 2 billion. The box office of the Spring Festival alone broke through the 10 billion mark, with a year-on-year increase of more than 65%, which not only broke the monthly box office record of 7.37 billion yuan with the help of Wolf Warriors 2 last August, but also set a new record for the global film market. Up to now, in this year’s global box office rankings, besides Marvel Comics’s film Black Panther, Operation Red Sea and Chinatown Detective 2 ranked second and third respectively, Spielberg’s new film Ready Player One ranked fourth with US$ 490 million, Ready Player One’s box office in North America was only US$ 130 million, and in China, the box office of this film is about to exceed RMB 1.3 billion. It can be said that the China film market is increasingly showing a huge share in the global market.

  Billion movies

  It takes longer to prepare.

  Yue Xiang said, "Detective Chinatown 2" is also the first time that their company has made a 1 billion-level film. "We have to start with 1 billion in anticipation of starting this film, because it was just flat when it was 1 billion. We have to calculate an account at the beginning. If we dare to spend more than 300 million, we will eventually get a box office of 1 billion to make it flat. The biggest difference between this level of film and the previous small and medium-sized films is that its preparation is more perfect, and film preparation began several months before shooting. "

  "When we were in detective chinatown 1, we predicted that Chinatown Detective 2 would be filmed in new york. At that time, we didn’t realize that new york might be the most complicated place to make movies in the world, and it might also be the most expensive place to make movies in the world. It took us about two years to do basic research and preparation. My biggest feeling is that if I want to make a 1 billion film, I will take at least one to two years to prepare. This is my intuitive feeling. "

  Zhu Weijie said that for publicity and marketing companies, 1 billion is more like "our honor. Choosing and participating in the 1 billion box office is a very important point in my work." "Infinite Freedom" has participated in many movies with a billion box office in recent years, including Pancake Man, goodbye mr. loser, Tomb Raider Notes, including Ex-3 years ago. After this series of movies, it is found that the movies with a billion box office are unique. "Many movies can exceed 1 billion, not because of marketing, but because the content can exceed 1 billion, because this movie has such a foundation, like Tomb Raider, which exceeds 1 billion. In fact, we know that it will definitely exceed 1 billion, and then it is how to live and when to work."

  "I have always thought that marketing is a work to contribute to the film. A film that originally sold 100 million yuan, we achieved 200 million through marketing, which is success. Finding a 1 billion movie and participating in it to achieve 1.2 billion and 1.5 billion is a greater success. I have always enjoyed discovering it and participating in it. " Zhu Weijie believes that a billion-dollar movie must have natural characteristics. Take "Previous 3" as an example, there are no more suitable actors than Han Geng and Ryan in terms of their performances. From all the way, their combination has given people a very good foundation since "Previous 1". "I think" Ex-3 "is a film prepared by the screenwriter and director for the whole adolescence, and all the stalks are reflected in ordinary life and friends’ jokes. When it has this trait, as a marketing company, we will go all out to participate in it and do it well. "

  China movies are on schedule.

  Learn from Hollywood

  YIN FANG, as an actor, gives priority to the script, the role and the director when choosing a movie, while the brokerage company may consider the response and box office. For him, when choosing a commercial film, he will expect the box office to be successful, and when choosing an art film, he will pay more attention to the quality of the work. If several films are released in the same period and interact with each other, it is a good thing for the actor.

  On the schedule selection of Operation Red Sea, YIN FANG revealed the details at that time. At first, everyone thought "Red Sea" was not suitable for the atmosphere of family fun during the Spring Festival. Originally, it was intended to be released in the 11th file, but due to the construction period, director Lin Chaoxian could not catch up with this schedule, and he was unwilling to compromise the quality for the schedule. After the bold spring festival, facing the strong films like a cloud, the initial arrangement of "Red Sea" was the lowest, but the final counterattack gave the film another possibility to choose the schedule.

  Yue Xiang thinks that China movies should learn from Hollywood in terms of schedule. "Most American films have been scheduled before shooting, at least two years in advance, which can reduce the waste of resources and reduce the expected consumption of the audience. It is a good thing that strong films are scattered to various schedules in a year. There may be only us in the world, and all companies put their strongest films in the Spring Festival and National Day files. In fact, we should achieve a tacit understanding, and the schedules of important films of various companies are staggered. "

  Zhu Weijie said frankly that the schedule of the film is sometimes really strong. "The documentary" Twenty-two "has achieved great success, largely because the release time is behind" Wolf Warriors 2 ".When the whole national mood is transferred there, it will be very beneficial to" Twenty-two ".

  He agrees with Yue Xiang’s point of view that important films should have a tacit understanding on the schedule. "Now marketing companies are like spies, asking each other about the schedule, which is very headache. Moreover, the uncertainty of the schedule also has an impact on the publicity schedule created by the actors. "

  Marketing companies can’t change word of mouth.

  As an actor, YIN FANG often participates in roadshow publicity activities. He admits that he had doubts about the role of roadshows in the past, but later he found that it played a great role. "This is an obligation for actors."

  As a producer, Yue Xiang believes that good word-of-mouth comes from good content. When some films are insufficient in content, there is no need to invest too much in marketing costs. At the same time, word-of-mouth has to resonate with the people, such as the success of Twenty-two.

  Zhu Weijie said that marketing companies can promote word of mouth but can’t change word of mouth. What’s more important is to do basic work. "The success of film marketing is inseparable from the content of the film. We respect the content and respect the content. Only by starting from the content and moving people’s hearts with the content, marketing is useful."

  He believes that the marketing of China movies far exceeds that of Hollywood, and the status and speed of China netizens’ contact with the Internet is also very rapid. Nowadays, the marketing has shifted from media-driven to audience-driven. "Once a report can drive people to go to the movies, now we change channels very quickly from watching news to watching self-media and then watching short videos, so we must know the channels well at different stages. I don’t know what the next channel is. "

  In the rapidly changing environment, it is very important to reach a reasonable combination and make information effectively transmitted and transformed. "We can’t say that television and newspapers are not important. If we want to make an art film, the in-depth analysis and cultural orientation of the print media are quite important. For example, Jia Zhangke’s film "Children of the Rivers and Lakes", which we are going to do next, is completely different from "Former 3" in marketing mix, and will be done through the direction of the times and culture. "

  Another key point is to break the circle. "For example, if you do" Red Sea ",you can let YIN FANG talk to the real snipers in reality, so that people who have experienced in the military can also understand the film and break the audience circle."

  Regarding the recent controversy over the promotion of Marvel Comics films in China, Zhu Weijie believes that it does have its role to find traffic stars and local stars to promote, but it needs to face an appropriate and moderate problem.

  Realistic movies will become more and more popular.

  Zhu Weijie said that films in small languages, such as Indian films and Thai films, are becoming more and more popular in the China market. The Indian film played by Aamir Hussain Khan pays close attention to reality, and although it is a bit exaggerated, it is very entertaining. Those domestic films that are not entertaining and pay attention to reality, such as "Youth", "Don’t Ask West East" and "mr. six", are often used as feature films. Such films were previously considered as the most unattractive. In recent years, Oscar-winning films and nominated films are basically in this category. Such films used to be thankless in the China market, but recently they have changed, and Youth has reached 1 billion. Although there is less than 1 billion, the performance of "No Questions, West and East" has exceeded everyone’s imagination. This kind of drama film tells a story seriously, perhaps with or without history, but it does not take entertainment as the ultimate goal, so the prospect of this kind of film in China will be better and better.

  YIN FANG said that it is an obvious progress for China films to see such a good performance, and it is also the result of the increasing and diversified audience base and higher taste of China films. It must be a very good thing for all filmmakers.

  Single chip billions

  You can expect it in three or four years.

  At the forum, Yue Xiang also expressed his views on the reason that "China’s film marketing level surpasses Hollywood, but the production level is still far behind Hollywood". "This is an institutional problem. Publicity and marketing companies are regular troops, and most of the crew management is like greenwood hero. When a call-up order is issued, it will be scattered after the filming. There is no work unit and five insurances and one gold, which does not give the practitioners a sense of pride, and they can’t work hard and stay. This may be caused by our overemphasis on the particularity of art and the lack of emphasis on industrial functions. "

  He introduced that "Tang Detective 2" was his first time to make an "all-trade union" film, and he hired American industrial workers. He found that their treatment was very good and they could see their own upward path. Usually, some staff members can work in a certain type of work for a lifetime and achieve the ultimate. This is what China’s films need to learn from.

  At the end of this forum, several guests made predictions about the future goal of "10 billion films" in China. Zhu Weijie thinks that we can expect it within three or four years, YIN FANG guesses it for three years, and Yue Xiang thinks that there will be a "single-chip" film within two years.

  At the same time, because literary dramas such as "Fanghua", "Don’t ask about the West" and "mr. six" have also gained high box office, YIN FANG is also very optimistic about the prospects of such films. "It shows that the audience in China is more diversified and the audience watching various types of movies has increased, which is very encouraging for filmmakers."

  The side of the new car is consistent with the seven-seat version. The waistline runs through the car body, with front and rear fenders protruding from the car body and large petal-shaped wheels, which makes the new car show a hard-core cross-country style. The chrome-plated decoration around the window frame, combined with the embellishment of the foggy silver trim under the car door, brings some luxury.

  In terms of power, judging from the actual tail mark "400T", the five-seat version of Lanyue will be equipped with a 2.0TGDI high-power engine with a maximum power of 261 HP. In terms of transmission, it will be matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.

■ Edit Comment:

  Starway seeks the moon to position the large-scale flagship SUV in the "Big Seven-seater SUV". The new five-seater version makes the rear space, especially the trunk, more spacious, and at the same time, the new front face is added to increase the youthful atmosphere, further demonstrating its flagship charm, while also enriching consumers’ choices. The monthly price of the seven-seat version on sale is 19.39-23.39 million. You can also guess the price of the five-seat version in the comment area. At present, China brand is relatively weak in medium and large SUVs, and we also hope that taking the moon can give this market a shot in the arm.

● BMW M4 CSL

New car features: high-performance lightweight coupe /557 HP 3.0T twin-turbo engine.
Pre-sale time: May 20th.

  Recently, BMW officially announced that its BMW M4 CSL will make its world debut at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, which opened on May 20th. As a lightweight version of BMW M4, the new car will lose 100kg compared with the ordinary version, in addition to using a brand-new light set.

Home of the car

  From the latest preview, we can see that the upcoming BMW M4 CSL will have a brand-new yellow daytime running light set, and use the exclusive LOGO of the 50th anniversary of BMW M family. At the same time, the new car will also be optimized on the front air intake grille, and a more exaggerated front enclosure design will be used. In addition, the internal cavity of the taillight group of the new car is replaced by a brand-new light band design. At present, we are not clear about its specific details, and it is not excluded that a brand-new luminescent material will be used.

Home of the car

  As a lightweight version of the BMW M4, in addition to the redesign of the exterior kit, it is expected that the new car will also undergo a series of lightweight treatments in the roof, interior and seats. It is reported that this BMW M4 CSL will eventually be 100kg lighter than the BMW M4. Recently, overseas BMW fans have photographed more interior spy photos of this high-performance coupe in advance, among which the interior design with substantial weight loss and the CSL logo that has been away for many years have returned again.

  In addition to the exposure of the interior, the tire model of the new car was also photographed clearly. The BMW M4 CSL will be equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tire, with the size of 275/35 R19. This semi-hot melt tire developed for the track is expected to make the BMW M4 CSL have excellent lap times, which may also indicate that BMW will use this model to hit the limit record of New Bogeling North Ring Circuit. In addition to the tire model, we can also see the brand-new pure carbon fiber front bumper and the exclusive LOGO of the 50 th anniversary of BMW M Department through this photo.

Home of the car

  Although the appearance of the new car is still covered with heavy clothes, overseas fans have successfully photographed the interior of the new car. We can notice that the BMW M4 CSL has greatly reduced the weight inside the car, which not only directly cancels the traditional central armrest box, but even replaces the extended center console with pure carbon fiber material, and even the cover plate of the front storage compartment disappears.

Home of the car

  At the same time, the new car will also use two brand-new front seats wrapped in carbon fiber and leather. It can be seen that the seat shape is not only thin but also very wrapped, and the hollowing out behind it is reserved for four-point seat belts, while the rear seats are suspected to be cancelled directly. Coupled with the carbon fiber decorative board and Alcantara+ carbon fiber steering wheel originally belonging to the ordinary version of M4, it is believed that the new car will be significantly lighter than the ordinary version of BMW M4.

Home of the car

  In terms of power, BMW M4 CSL will also recalibrate this 3.0T twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 557 HP, which is 47 HP higher than that of BMW M4 Thunder Edition. In terms of transmission, the new car will continue to use the 8-speed automatic manual transmission and only provide the rear-drive version. It is reported that the new car will be sold worldwide in a limited way after its release.

■ Edit Comment:

  Extreme power performance and extreme light weight will be the two major features of the new BMW M4 CSL. The last time BMW used the suffix "CSL" was in the E46 M3 era. The BMW M3 CSL model code-named E46 lost 100kg on the basis of the original M3, which further stimulated the potential of the 3.2L naturally aspirated inline six-cylinder engine. It was a very extreme model in that year, and this generation M4 also used the suffix "CSL", which means that it will also be.

  Future Network China Youth Daily, Beijing, March 10 (Reporter He Xin, Xie Qing) "The signing rate of contracts between some franchised enterprises and employees is low, which is only a verbal agreement, and the rights and interests of employees cannot be protected in case of disputes; Employees of express delivery must pay work-related injury insurance, but most companies only pay commercial accident insurance. When employees have accidents in the delivery process, they cannot get reasonable protection … …” From a postal grass-roots employee to a NPC deputy, Chai Shan, the mail receiver of Shanghai Postal District Central Bureau, "delivered" the industry’s voice to the National People’s Congress after collecting research from various places.

  In 2004, after graduating from technical secondary school, Chai Shan came to Shanghai from the countryside and became a postal laborer. Fifteen years later, he became a deputy to the National People’s Congress.

  Before 2018, as a postal courier, he sent countless couriers to Beijing, but he had never been to Beijing. On March 2, he walked into the Great Hall of the People in Beijing as a deputy to the National People’s Congress.

  One year later, wearing his dark green postal work clothes, he arrived in Beijing as scheduled to attend this year’s National People’s Congress.

  This time, what he mailed was not the express delivery of a certain person, but the voice of service personnel in many new formats — — Suggestions on migrant workers’ better integration into cities in express delivery industry.

  Chai Shanshan told reporters that as an ordinary worker, he never thought that he would come to Beijing as a representative of the National People’s Congress and walk into the Great Hall of the People.

  "Life is a struggle. If you want to pursue a better life, you must improve yourself. Whether it is personal ability or thinking, the only goal of struggle is to have a happy life." Chai Shanshan firmly told reporters that anything is possible in life as long as you struggle.

  The word "struggle" has been with Chai Shanshan in his 34-year life.

  Experience: 15 years from "courier brother" to NPC deputy.

  Chai Shanshan was born in an ordinary peasant family in laohekou city, Hubei Province. When he was a child, he longed for a better life, that is, he could eat meat more times a year than festivals.

  Chai Shanshan told reporters that he had a dream of being a teacher since he was a child. However, due to family economic reasons, he did not continue his studies after graduating from technical secondary school, but set foot on the road to Shanghai and became a postal laborer.

  Loading and unloading, sorting, repacking and loading … … In 2004, all mail processing required manual operation.

  "At that time, the most loaded packages were some luggage and books, and everyone needed to handle nearly 2,000 bags of packages every day on average." Although this job is a bit hard, Chai Shanshan told reporters, "When I think of sending the parcel to the recipient’s hand, their thank you and a smile are worth all the hard work."

  In 2011, Shanghai Post Branch held a business training competition for all employees. Chai Shan told reporters that in order to memorize more than 2,600 place names in China and memorize theoretical knowledge with a thickness of 5 cm, he made a study card and put it in his pocket every day. He took it out to remember when he finished his work, and even recited it when he was eating and walking.

  In the sorting center with only 1 square meter, Chai Shanshan remembers all the place names in the country and can mark the corresponding positions on the map.

  Chai Shanshan achieved excellent results in that competition. Chai Shanshan told herself and everyone with her own practical actions that anything is possible as long as she works hard.

  In the new post of mail receiver, Chai Shanshan has successively won the honorary titles of "Advanced Producer (Worker) of Shanghai Post Company", "Outstanding Young Commando of Shanghai" and "Advanced Migrant Worker of Shanghai".

  "If I can’t master the theoretical knowledge related to work and the basic knowledge of business skills in this industry, I can’t do this job well, which requires me to keep learning to enrich myself." In addition to improving his business ability, in order to better keep up with the pace of the times, Chai Shanshan went to college while working.

  In 2013, Chai Shan enrolled in the Open University as an in-service junior college student. There are two classes a week, from 6: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm. During each class, after taking off his work clothes, Chai Shanshan hurriedly changed into his own clothes and ran to the subway station.

  For nearly five years, Chai Shanshan has almost no holidays. In 2018, Chai Shan graduated from undergraduate course. And he also became a NPC deputy from a postal grass-roots employee.

  Witness: From manual operation to mechanization, China’s express delivery volume ranks first in the world

  On March 5, 2019, the 2019 government work report pointed out that the rural circulation network should be improved to support the development of e-commerce and express delivery.

  Chai Shanshan told reporters that when he heard the contents of Premier Li Keqiang’s work plan for 2019 in the Great Hall of the People, he was very excited, which further stimulated his strong desire to work hard to realize the Chinese dream and his enthusiasm as an official.

  Chai Shanshan, who has been engaged in the express delivery industry for nearly 15 years, not only witnessed the development of China’s express delivery industry, but also witnessed the increasing living standards of our people.

  "With the increase in the number of emails, on the one hand, it reflects the improvement of our consumption level, on the other hand, it also reflects the improvement of our quality of life." Chai Shanshan told reporters that the parcels received and sent in the past were clothes, quilts and daily necessities of migrant workers. With the development of e-commerce platforms, the application of big data and networks, whether it is special products from all over the country or some imported goods, began to circulate and sent to people’s doorsteps.

  "In the past, it was loaded and unloaded by physical strength. Now, after mechanization, you can directly transport the mail to the corresponding bag with a belt conveyor." Chai Shanshan told reporters that in the past, it took half an hour to manually unload a mail, one hour to sort the mail and one hour to load it. Now the same operation process can be completed in less than 40 minutes.

  "In the past, the processing center could only sort 2,000 pieces of mail per hour, and only 50,000 pieces per day at most. Now, after automatic sorting, last year ‘ Double eleven ’ Set a sorting record of 1.058 million pieces a day. " Chai Shanshan said that there was no automatic sorting equipment in the past, and every double eleventh often caused a backlog of mail, which made the user experience not high.

  With the application of automation equipment, the mail processing capacity has been greatly improved, and the process has become simpler, which has realized that the mail does not land from unloading to loading and dispatching, and greatly shortened the mail processing time limit.

  According to the statistics of the Ministry of Transport, by the end of 2017, the postal express delivery industry had served more than 100 billion users annually, with 40.056 billion pieces completed in 2017, and the business volume reached 50.71 billion pieces in 2018, ranking first in the world for many years in a row, surpassing the sum of developed economies such as the United States, Japan and Europe.

  Suggestion: I hope that migrant workers in the express delivery industry can better integrate into the city.

  After becoming a deputy to the National People’s Congress, Chai Shanshan told reporters that the biggest wish now is to improve his ability to perform his duties.

  "Some legal knowledge is not well understood, and the nuances have not been carefully studied. When we perform our duties, most of us make suggestions from what we have learned. I hope that we can take care of all aspects later. At present, our greatest wish is to improve our performance ability and match our new identity." During the year of performing his duties, Chai Shanshan went to many places for investigation, and he found that the rights and interests of some migrant workers in the express delivery industry were insufficient.

  According to statistics, at present, the number of first-line couriers in national express delivery enterprises has exceeded 3 million, and the take-away industry also has more than 1 million full-time and part-time terminal couriers. According to the survey data of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, most of this group are surplus laborers from rural areas, and their general education is low, mostly high school or technical secondary school. They are industrial workers in the new era under the new economic format, and they are part of the modern service industry, providing convenient and fast delivery services for the people. However, due to the imperfect social security and unsatisfactory employment prospects, few people are willing to take this job as a long-term career.

  "Because couriers spend most of their working hours riding, most non-direct mode enterprises buy accident insurance for them, and rarely pay work-related injury insurance in social security. Once a major work-related accident occurs, the accident insurance will pay for it in one lump sum, and the couriers will not get effective protection from work-related injury insurance." In addition, Chai Shanshan also found that many couriers work long hours every day, and their labor intensity increases, so they have no extra time to study or have fun. In order to "Dora run", some couriers privately add batteries to the battery car to increase its endurance. The incidents of spontaneous combustion and explosion caused by improper use of the battery car have occurred from time to time, which has brought great hidden dangers to themselves and the surrounding pedestrians.

  In view of these problems, Chai Shanshan suggested that enterprises should undertake social responsibilities while pursuing benefits, formulate reasonable wage standards, reasonably evaluate the work intensity of couriers, control and optimize the order quantity and delivery quantity, and improve the delivery performance reward and assessment system. At the same time, the relevant departments should increase the supervision of the signing of labor contracts for couriers and the payment of "five insurances and one gold", especially to include industrial injury insurance in the insurance types that couriers must participate in.

  For the young people with low academic qualifications in this team, Chai Shanshan told reporters that he hopes to provide more cross-industry personalized training opportunities, such as learning platforms in manufacturing, e-commerce, tourism, breeding, etc., so that young people who want to stay have high-quality urban employability, and those who want to return home also have the ability to benefit the countryside.

  Regarding the enterprise headquarters and the labor contract awarding party to strengthen the management of the franchise outlets and contractors, Chai Shanshan stressed, "No ‘ Pack it up ’ 。”

  "Industry associations should play an active role, establish and improve industry management norms and standards, and implement reward and punishment measures for enterprises to jointly encourage trustworthiness and jointly punish dishonesty." Chai Shanshan said that all localities can also standardize the management of non-motor vehicles for express delivery and distribution, unify the appearance, number and logo of vehicles, implement the driving permit system and carry out certificates.

EZ-6 price exposure only needs 221,800 joint venture new energy market pattern may be rewritten

Changan Mazda EZ-6 recently became the focus again due to the exposure of a suspected car purchase invoice. This invoice posted by netizens shows that the price of the EZ-6 pure electric BEV model is 221,800 yuan. As Changan Mazda’s first new energy product, the authenticity of the pricing of the EZ-6 has aroused widespread discussion, and it is believed that it will have a huge impact on the joint venture B-class car market.

According to the pictures released, the invoice for this car purchase was issued on August 16, more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. Usually, the listing of a new car needs to go through a complete time promotion process within the car company. For a joint venture brand like Changan Mazda, it also requires joint decision-making between China and Japan, and it is not surprising that the price is agreed two months in advance. Although sensitive information such as the invoice code on the invoice is coded, from the information of the invoicing party and the "Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd. invoice seal" stamped on it, this invoice is very likely to be true and reliable, and the possibility of internal outflow is relatively high.

Since the EZ-6 made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, it has quickly become one of the hottest sedans in the joint venture new energy sector. It has attracted wide attention not only because of its advanced styling design, but also because it is the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market to offer extended range power options, filling this market gap. Its design is undoubtedly at the forefront of the joint venture new energy field, not only achieving bold innovation, but also maintaining Mazda’s classic design elements.

From the perspective of body size, the EZ-6 has a length, width and height of 4921/1890/1485mm, a wheelbase of 2895mm, and adopts a frameless door and a hatchback design. Although the shape is more energy-oriented, its through taillights and four round gun downlights on both sides still retain the classic design elements of Mazda, which is impressive. The frameless door undoubtedly adds to the fashion sense of this model, while the hatchback design emphasizes practicality.

In terms of power, the information that has been exposed so far shows that the EZ-6 has two driving forms: pure electric and extended range, and adopts a rear-drive layout. The power parameters of the pure electric version are 190kW, while the extended range version is equipped with the same 1.5-liter range extender, and the power parameters are exactly the same as the pure electric version. In terms of battery life, the range of the pure electric model is 480km and 600km according to the battery pack capacity, while the extended range model can achieve a long range of more than 1300km on a single charge plus a tank of fuel.

In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 also performs well. The vehicle is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, 14.6-inch floating central control screen with full LCD instrument panel and AR-HUD head-up display, providing the leading technology experience in smart electric vehicles. In addition, it is also equipped with advanced driving auxiliary features such as 360-degree panoramic image, 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance and automatic parking. More luxurious configurations such as Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights and zero-gravity seats provide owners with a more comfortable driving experience.

From the price point of view, the EZ-6 is obviously quite competitive. As a joint venture pure electric mid-range car, compared with the price of Tesla Model 3, BMW i3 around 300,000 and the starting price of Volkswagen ID7 of 227,700 yuan, the price of the pure electric version of the EZ-6 is only 221,800 yuan, which looks very reasonable. Just from the rich degree of configuration, the EZ-6 seems to have far exceeded the joint venture model of the same level.

Judging from Mazda’s previous pricing strategy, the price of the EZ-6 is expected to fall between 18-240,000 yuan. If awesome policies can be introduced during the pre-sale period, then the joint venture new energy models on the market will face tremendous pressure. It is reported that the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28 and will be officially launched at the end of October. All speculation and expectations about the EZ-6 will be revealed soon.

For consumers and car enthusiasts who pay close attention to the new energy market, the Changan Mazda EZ-6 is undoubtedly a model worth looking forward to. It not only fills the gap in the range extension power selection of the joint venture new energy market, but also shows great market potential with high cost performance and rich intelligent configuration, which is worthy of everyone’s continued attention and participation in the discussion. May you share your views in the comment area, are you also looking forward to this model?

Mao Zedong told astronauts not to be proud and to launch more Chinese satellites

Meeting with representatives of the development and launch of satellites

Inspire the people of the whole country

On the night of the first International Labor Day in the 1970s, Mao Zedong met with representatives of the development and launch of Long March rockets and Dongfanghong satellites on the Tiananmen Gate, reflecting his concern for the aerospace industry and his encouragement to astronauts.

After the satellite launch was successful, Zhou Enlai arranged for the development and launch personnel to participate in the observation of the Tiananmen Gate Tower on the evening of the "May Day" International Labor Day.

▲ On May 1, 1970, Chairperson Mao received representatives of the personnel who developed and launched the "Dongfanghong-1" satellite

Warmly shake hands with the delegates, express condolences and congratulations

The seats of the delegates were carefully arranged at the exit of the elevator on the west side of the city building, which is where the central chiefs have to go back and forth. That night, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and others accompanied Prince Sihanouk to the Tiananmen Gate Tower, and Chinese and foreign guests celebrated the festival of working people all over the world.

The leading comrades who specifically organized the implementation of the task, as well as the representatives of the research and development and launch test units, stood in formation on the long corridor to the right of Tiananmen Gate to watch the celebration.

Zhou Enlai guided Mao Zedong to the front of the team and introduced:

Chairperson, they are the staff representatives of the development and launch of satellites, and they just arrived in Beijing yesterday.

Mao Zedong smiled and happily shook hands with the delegates one by one, expressing his cordial condolences and congratulations.

The films shot by photographers back then left us with precious images, the excited smiles of astronauts and the images of shouting slogans, which have been indelibly recorded in the history of the development of New China and the struggles of astronauts.


▲ Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai

The second handshake and the long viewing ceremony made the astronauts unforgettable

After the party, when Zhou Enlai led Mao Zedong to withdraw, he walked past the representatives of the satellite launch, who competed to shake hands with Mao Zedong for the second time.

At that time, Liu Fuyu, the leader of the electrical measurement team of the satellite assembly workshop who did not catch up with the first handshake, recalled this incident decades later:

By the time they arrived at Tiananmen Gate, the party had already begun.

Qian Xuesen said regretfully:

Chairperson Mao has already received our delegation, but you missed it.

Unexpectedly, Mao Zedong received the delegation for the second time, and he finally shook hands with Chairperson Mao happily.

The satellite launch was successful! Mao Zedong offered his condolences to Qian Xuesen’s team at the Tiananmen Gate and shook hands one by one.

There was another detail that also left a deep impression on the astronauts who attended the party. On the night of "May Day", Mao Zedong spent a long time in Tiananmen Square.

According to Wang Shengyuan, who was in charge of satellite surveying and received by Mao Zedong at the time, he recalled:

I remember Wei Tongtai (the head of the Seven Aircraft Department) said at the time that he had participated in three such celebrations. The first two times, Chairperson Mao left before the fireworks were released. This time Chairperson Mao was very happy and left after all the fireworks were released.

Mao Zedong cordially received the successful personnel who developed and launched satellites, which inspired the fighting spirit of the vast number of astronauts and encouraged the construction of a modern socialist power.

Tell the astronauts not to be proud

To launch more Chinese satellites

After China’s first satellite was launched, Mao Zedong brought up the topic of satellites many times in his conversations with foreign guests over the past two years.

The central idea we read from this is that China has only launched one satellite, which is nothing. Mao Zedong’s arguments at the time were quite intriguing.

Wang Zhanhua, a satellite launch representative who attended the "May Day" Tiananmen ceremony, recalled:

Chairperson Mao said to the people that there are more than 2,000 satellites in the sky, and we are only one in 2,000! Even if there are 2,000 satellites, we can’t be proud, otherwise we will go to the opposite side. This is a lesson. All of us were deeply encouraged and promptly organized all units to study Chairperson Mao’s instructions carefully.

The 2013 "Chronicle of Mao Zedong" revealed similar words from later Mao Zedong, and more than one time. Mao Zedong’s words are slightly different and his meaning is slightly different.

There are so many satellites rotating in the sky, and the Chinese satellite is not a big deal

"Not so much admiration" for China’s satellite launch. On July 13, 1970, Mao Zedong met with a French government delegation. When the guest said that President Pompidou admired China’s scientific efforts, Mao Zedong said:

Just started, experimental. China is not a big country, I don’t believe it when the newspapers say it.

When Bettencourt said she admired China for releasing its own satellites, Mao Zedong said:

I don’t admire it that much, it’s nothing. Because there are so many satellites in the sky, all of them belong to those two countries. What do our countries count as two satellites?

The word used here is "not so admired", which is a reversal of the idea that guests "admire China very much," so it is "nothing". It is "pitiful" to think that launching a satellite is "pitiful". It is said that foreigners "always blow us away".

On September 23, 1970, during a meeting with Vietnamese leaders, he said:

China is not a big country, but a medium country. I debated this issue with France Bettencourt. In a way, we are not even as good as France. How can we be considered a big country?

He always boasted to us that you put a satellite in the sky. I said there are so many satellites in the sky every day, and we only have one, what is it?

The word used here is "what"! Westerners always exaggerate. This conversation can also provide a footnote to our understanding of the debate on "admiration" and "disadmiration" in the July 13 conversation.

Mao Zedong receives foreign guests

Launching a satellite is very pitiful, worrying about how to improve the economy

On July 20, 1970, Mao Zedong met with Congolese guests and said:

There are too many people in China, which is not commensurate with economic development. You are worried about your economy now, and we are also worried about how to improve it. It is not about building a few atomic bombs and launching a few satellites, which is very pitiful. There are many man-made satellites in this sky, all of which are owned by the United States and the Soviet Union. Only France and Japan have run up there. Recently, China has run up one.

The word "pitiful" is used after enumerating the first few countries to launch satellites, and asking "how to get the economy going" is the important question. Humbly put "only two".

On the evening of July 10, 1972, during a meeting with French Foreign Minister Schumann at Zhongnanhai Swimming Pool, Mao Zedong said of the tensions between China and the Soviet Union:

You hit yours, I’ll hit mine. We’ll use the same method we used to hit Chiang Kai-shek and the Japanese.

There are not as many atomic bombs as the Soviet Union, and we only put two satellites in the sky.

The phrase used here is "only two", at a time when China’s space program is in full swing.

Using the afterglow of life to illuminate the future of China’s aerospace industry

In his later years, Mao Zedong’s health and energy were getting worse, but his gaze still did not leave China’s aerospace progress.

When the Dongfanghong satellite was in full swing, on June 17, 1968, Mao Zedong approved the development of the ocean-going survey ship project, code-named "718 Project", which was later named after Mao Zedong’s handwritten poem "Far View" by Marshal Ye Jianying. They participated in the measurement and control tasks of almost all major space activities after launching long-range carrier rockets into the Pacific Ocean (code-named "580 Project").

On July 14, 1970, Mao Zedong read the National Defense Science and Technology Commission’s "Plan Report on Astronaut Selection" and directed the launch of China’s manned spaceflight program, code-named "714 Project", which was an early rehearsal of China’s manned spaceflight program.

On March 31, 1975, Mao Zedong read the "Report on the Development of Satellite Communication Problems in our country", code-named "Project 331", which led to the "Dongfanghong No. 2" communications satellite that later jumped 36,000 kilometers away from the earth.

On November 26, 1975, the ill Mao Zedong reviewed the report of our country’s launch of remote sensing satellites, and then reviewed the relevant information sent back by the satellites.

Mao Zedong’s earnest instructions and aerospace layout have made the vast number of astronauts modest and cautious, making persistent efforts to promote China’s aerospace industry to make great strides into space.

Nowadays, two tapes of "The East is Red" music from space lie quietly in the display case of the Comrade Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, telling the touching story to future generations.

The music of "The East is Red" sings the song in the chest of Chinese astronauts, accompanied by the rhyme of building a aerospace power, and becomes a lasting song of singing China’s aerospace and Chinese dreams.

The emotions and longing of the Chinese people expressed in "The East is Red" complement each other with the great Chinese road, Chinese strength and Chinese spirit, and compose a beautiful movement of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
