The End of Chinese Imperial Examination System

 

Announcer: Shi Yibo

The imperial examination system is an important system for selecting talents in China feudal society. It was founded in the seventh year of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty (AD 587) and abolished in the thirty-first year of Guangxu of Qing Dynasty (AD 1905), which lasted for more than 1,300 years. The last two examinations of China’s imperial examination system were held on our campus (at that time, our campus was the seat of Henan Gongyuan). Once in the 29th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (AD 1903) and once in the 30th year of Guangxu (AD 1904). After that, the imperial examination system was abolished. Therefore, our campus has become the end of China’s imperial examination system.

The main examinations in the imperial examination system are the provincial examination and the general examination (of course, palace examination is also very important). And these exams are regular (except for Enke). In the first year of Shunzhi (A.D. 1644), it was stipulated that: "Take the rural examination in the year of meridian and Mao Younian, and the examination will be held in the year of Chen Xuchou." After having obtained the provincial examination, we will try in August, February and palace examination in March. However, in the tenth year of Qianlong (AD 1745), it was changed to March and April in palace examination, so it was permanent. After having obtained the provincial examination, it will be held in the capital, and palace examination will be held in the palace.

What is the "Meridian Year"? What does it mean to be "ugly and ugly"? There may be many people who are still unclear, so I need to make a brief explanation here.

Today, we use the Gregorian calendar, while in ancient China, we used the trunk and branch calendars. "Gan" means "Tiangan", that is, A, B, C, D, E, Ji, G, Xin, Ren and Gui, also called "Ten Gan". "Zhi" is the floorboard of "earthly branches", that is, Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai, also called "Twelve Branches". With the circulation of ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches, sixty groups can be formed, such as Jiazi, Yechou, Bingyin, Dingmao, Wuchen, Jisi, Gengwu, Xinwei, Renshen, Guiyou and Jiaxu, which are called "Sixty Flowers Jiazi" to indicate the order of year, month, day and time, and so on. The lunar calendar we use today is still based on the years of the cadres and branches.

Take the "Ziwu Maoyou Year after having obtained the provincial examination", that is, in the year when the words Zi, Wu, Mao and You appear, the provincial examination will be held. Take "Chen Xu ugly will be tested before the year", that is, in the year of the dry branch, whenever the words Chen Xu, Ugly and Not appear, the test will be held. Below, I will take the year related to our topic as an example to illustrate it. According to the chronology of cadres and branches, the 25th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (AD 1899) was the year of Ji Hai, the 26th year (AD 1900) was the year of Geng Zi, the 27th year was the year of Xin Chou, the 28th year was the year of Ren Yin, the 29th year (AD 1903) was the year of Gui Mao, the 30th year (AD 1904) was the year of Jia Chen, the 31st year was the year of Yi Si, and the 32nd year was the year. From this, we can know that the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu is the year of Gengzi and the twenty-ninth year is the year of Guimao, both of which are in the year of holding the township examination. Twenty-seven years of Guangxu is the year of sorrow and ugliness, and thirty years is the year of Jia Chen, both of which should be held. From this, we can see that the provincial examination and the general examination are held every three years.

Having said that, some people may ask the following questions:

1. As mentioned earlier, there were two examinations held in Kaifeng, one in the 29th year of Guangxu (Guimao year) and the other in the 30th year of Guangxu (Jiachen year), but the 29th year of Guangxu (Guimao year) was not the year of the examination. Why did you hold the examination in this year?

Second, the examination is held every three years. Why is it held continuously in the twenty-ninth and thirty years of Guangxu?

Third, the location of the test is in the capital, and Kaifeng was not the capital during the Qing Dynasty. Why were the last two tests held in Kaifeng?

To answer these three questions, we need to start with the domestic situation at that time.

Originally, the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu (AD 1901) was an ugly year, and an examination should be held. But a major incident happened in China, that is, Britain, Germany, France, Russia, the United States, Japan, Italy and Austria "Eight-Nation Alliance" launched a war of aggression against China. On July 20th, the 26th year of Guangxu (AD 1900), "Eight-Nation Alliance" invaded Beijing. At dawn on the 21st, Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled from Deshengmen in a panic amid the rumble of guns. At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi wore a blue summer dress and dressed as a country woman, and Emperor Guangxu also changed her clothes. Because the incident happened in a hurry, it was too late to prepare transportation and daily necessities. "The two palaces all took mule carts by the roadside, and the princes all stayed on foot." "The bedding was not enough, and the water was not imported." The situation was very embarrassing. Empress Dowager Cixi fled all the way through Huailai, Xuanhua, Datong, Taiyuan and other places, and finally settled down when she arrived in Xi ‘an on the fourth day of September. Empress Dowager Cixi and others lived in Xi ‘an for nearly a year. On July 25th, the 27th year of Guangxu (September 7th, 1901), foreign invaders forced the Qing government to sign the "Xin Chou Treaty" which humiliated the country. After that, Empress Dowager Cixi and others set off triumphantly to return to Beijing.

On August 24th, the 27th year of Guangxu, Empress Dowager Cixi waited for the bus to drive to Xi ‘an and arrived in Kaifeng on October 2nd. Lived in Kaifeng for more than a month. On November 5th, I left Biandu River and went north, and returned to Beijing on the 28th.

From the above, it can be seen that when the examination should be held in the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu (the year of Xin Chou), Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu were fleeing, and of course there was no time to take care of the examination in that year, and there was no condition at all. In order to make up for the failure to hold the examination of Xin Chou, the Qing government ordered the exhibition to be held in Guimao year on October 24, Guangxu 27, that is, the examination of Xin Chou was postponed to Guimao year (Guangxu 29). This is the reason why the year of Guimao is not the year of the examination, but the examination is held. At the same time, because Beijing Hiram’s Hospital was destroyed by the war at that time, the Qing government decided to "take the test in Guimao and transfer the right to Henan Hiram’s Hospital". The second year, that is, the 30th year of Guangxu (Jiachen, AD 1904), was a year of routine examination. In this way, the years of Guimao family and Jiachen family are linked together.

At this point, I think the three questions mentioned above should be answered.

Apart from the special situation that both the Guimao and Jiachen examinations were held in Henan Gongyuan, the appointment time of examiners was also very different from the previous ones. Traditionally, examiners are appointed three days before the start of the exam. And once appointed, immediately quarantined, even family members are not allowed to meet to prevent fraud. Specifically, there are three exams: the first one is from March 9 to 11, the second one is from December 12 to 14, and the third one is from 15th to 17th. This is customized. Therefore, examiners are generally appointed on March 6th. The appointment of examiners in Guimao and Jiachen departments is much earlier in time.

Let’s talk about the family Guimao first. In the 29th year of Guangxu (AD 1903), on the first day of February, that is, a month before the examination began, the Qing government appointed Sun Jianai, a university student, as the examiner, Xu Huifeng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Rong Qing, the minister of punishments, and Zhang Yinglin, the right assistant minister of the official department, as the deputy examiner. At first glance, this seems incomprehensible. Is it necessary to appoint him so early, contrary to convention? Aren’t you afraid of fraud? But on second thought, it is completely reasonable to do so. Because the location of the exam is not in Beijing, but in Kaifeng, Henan, thousands of miles away. Due to the limitation of traffic conditions at that time, it took many days to travel from Beijing to Kaifeng. For example, Empress Dowager Cixi returned to Beijing from Kaifeng at that time and walked for 24 days on the road. Coupled with the preparation before the trip, in fact, more than a month is not too plentiful. The examiner in the last exam (the Reform Movement of 1898) was Sun Jianai, who did a good job, so this time he was entrusted with an important task. But this time, Sun Jianai screwed up: the writing of the policy question was wrong. As a result, after the examination, Sun Jianai and others were "handed over to the Ministry for discussion as usual."

The examiners for the Jiachen examination were also appointed in advance, but this time, Sun Jianai and others were not appointed, but a new team was replaced. On the sixth day of February in the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), the Qing government took Yu De, the minister of the Ministry of War and the co-organizer of the university, as the examiner, and Zhang Baixi, the minister of the official department, Lu Runxiang, the left imperial adviser of Duchayuan, and Dai Hongci, the right assistant minister of the household department, as the deputy examiner. The appointment time is only five days later than the above-mentioned family.

Here I would like to further explain that not only the last two examinations in the history of Chinese imperial examination system were held in Kaifeng, but also the last two rural examinations in Shuntianfu, where the Qing court was located. Once in the 28th year of Guangxu and once in the 29th year of Guangxu.

As mentioned earlier, according to the regulations of the Qing government, "taking the meridian as the base for having obtained the provincial examination". That is to say, in the year before each subject will be tested, all provinces will hold township examinations to select talents who will take part in the examination. Specifically, in the last years of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, the 26th year of Guangxu (AD 1900) was the year of Gengzi, and we should have held the township examination. However, as mentioned above, in July of this year, Eight-Nation Alliance, the invader of China, had already invaded Beijing, and the provincial examination failed to be held. Therefore, the Qing government decided to make up the rural examination of Gengzi in the 28th year of Guangxu (AD 1902). However, Beijing Hiram’s Hospital was destroyed by the war, so the Qing government decided to move Shuntian Township Examination to Henan Hiram’s Hospital. According to the regulations, the date of having obtained the provincial examination is in August. However, when the time comes, Shuntian will hold the township examination, and Henan will also hold the township examination, and the number of rooms in Henan Hiram’s Hospital is limited, so it is difficult to do it at the same time. So the Qing court decided to give way to Shuntian after Henan Provincial Examination, that is, Shuntian Provincial Examination was held in August, while Henan Provincial Examination was extended to October.

In the 29th year of Guangxu (AD 1903), it was the year of Guimao, and it was also the year of having obtained the provincial examination. In this year, Henan Gongyuan was the busiest. As mentioned earlier, Xin Chou Branch will try to make up for it in Henan Hiram’s Hospital in March this year. In August and October, it is necessary to welcome the provincial examinations in Shuntian and Henan. It is probably unique in the history of China’s imperial examination system that one Hiram’s Hospital has three examinations a year.

Because of the need to promote school education, the Qing government announced in the 31st year of Guangxu (AD 1905) that it would stop the provincial examination and the general examination from the 3rd year of Bingwu (32nd year of Guangxu, AD 1906). In this way, in the feudal society of China, the imperial examination system was implemented for more than 1,300 years, and it died.

To sum up, we can see what an important role Henan Gongyuan played when the feudal imperial examination system in China was coming to an end. During the twenty-eight to thirty years of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (AD 1902-1904), in just three years, four provincial examinations and two examinations were staged in Henan Gongyuan. For a time, Henan Gongyuan became a wonderful stage for the performance of China’s imperial examination system, and at the same time, this land on our campus became the end of China’s imperial examination system.

In the details of 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, the middle net and the lower air intake of the new car are also painted in black, and there is a unique logo of SRT on the side of the middle net. In terms of wheels, SRT Super Stock adopts a set of 18x11J (18 inches in diameter and 11 inches in width) rims, which are the same as those of challenger SRT Demon, and is matched with the NT05R linear acceleration special tires with 315/40 R18 specifications, so that the car has three times the grip of SRT Hellcat models. In terms of braking, the front wheel of the new car is equipped with an upgraded Brembo four-piston caliper and a 14.2-inch front brake disc 9p.

From the front of the 23 hellcats, the two headlights are as sharp as eagle eyes, and the flexible lines of the whole body overflow with an aura. If you like passion, sports cars and speed, this Dodge Challenger wide-body red-eyed cat is the best choice.

The tail wing added above the rear of the wide-body red-eye cat of 23 Dodge Hellcats improves its stability at high speed, while the bottom spoiler and large-caliber double-tail row more thoroughly demonstrate its powerful performance. The lines on the side are more rough and overbearing broken lines, which are very muscular. They are equipped with 20-inch Group2 alloy wheels and NTOS racing tires, which have excellent grip.

Is it effective for five-star hotels in many places to be "star-picked" and "official bad review"?

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 25th: Health management paralysis, serious security risks and serious air pollution in guest rooms … … Does the "official bad review" cure the hotel "star" disease? — — Five-star hotels in many places were surveyed by "stars"

  Xinhua News Agency reporters Chen Aiping, Zhou Wenchong and Yu Junjie

  "The price is five stars, the facilities are 50% new, and the service does not take care." In recent years, some five-star hotels are not worthy of the name, which not only annoys consumers, but also is not conducive to further stimulating the potential of culture and tourism consumption.

  On August 19th, the National Evaluation Committee of Tourist Star Hotels issued an announcement and decided to cancel the qualification of some five-star tourist hotels. What are the serious problems in hotels that have been "starred"? Is the "star-picking" treatment effective? Xinhua news agency reporters launched an investigation on this.

  There are paralysis of hotel hygiene management, serious security risks, serious air pollution and noise pollution in guest rooms.

  According to the information disclosed by the cultural tourism department, the five "star-picking" hotels are Tianjin Yanyuan International Hotel (formerly Sheraton Hotel), Tianjin Binhai Holiday Hotel, Shanghai Yujing Hotel, Chongqing Hilton Hotel and Days Hotel Chongqing Elegant; In addition, a number of hotels located in Liaoning, Chongqing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Henan were ordered to rectify within 12 months.

  The reporter learned from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism that the main problems existing in this five-star hotel are as follows: First, the fire-fighting equipment is old and ineffective, the fire escape cannot be used normally, and the security and pool safety personnel are not in place. Second, the health problem is outstanding. Disinfection rooms are not equipped in place, and the sanitary management of public areas, guest rooms and restaurants is not up to standard. Third, some facilities and equipment can not be used normally due to poor maintenance, and the marking system is aging. Fourth, employees have a weak sense of service and insufficient service skills, so they cannot provide corresponding services in strict accordance with the standard requirements.

  According to the reporter’s investigation, Days Hotel Chongqing Elegance, which is the star-picked, has some problems, such as no concierge service, poor room air quality, serious lack of maintenance in the background area, paralysis of health management and outdated facilities and equipment. Hilton Chongqing Hotel was also "star-picked" because of the lack of essential services, major security risks due to substandard health and fire protection, and irregular service.

  Huang Tiemin, director of the Star Rating Committee of Shanghai Tourist Hotel, told the reporter that the problems of one "star-picked" hotel in Shanghai and five hotels that have to be rectified within a time limit are also concentrated on safety production management, hygienic operation norms, front-line staff service norms and the lack of necessary items.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, from January to July this year, the Ministry conducted unannounced visits to some five-star hotels in ten key provinces in three rounds, and cancelled the star rating of 20 five-star hotels.

  Does the hotel care if "five stars" become "no stars"?

  For a long time, being rated as "five-star" is considered as the guarantee of excellent hotel hardware and service quality. "Star-picking" makes "five stars" become "no stars", can it effectively touch the relevant substandard hotels to actively rectify?

  A person in charge of a travel agency told reporters that hotels may lose some high-profit high-end demand markets after being "starred". After some high-end hotels "star-picking", the passenger flow dropped sharply.

  Gu Huimin, president of beijing international studies university Institute of Tourism Science and a national star reviewer, believes that star rating is related to national standards, and "star-picking" means maintaining the authority of standards, maintaining the service quality of hotels, and ensuring the healthy development of the industry by "getting in and getting out".

  However, many people in the industry also said that the influence of the current "star-picking" on high-end hotels has been significantly weakened. Even star-rated hotels take the initiative to apply for "star-picking" or "self-defining" as "luxury" to avoid the constraints of star rating standards.

  The reporter found that a large number of hotels, especially high-end hotels, are outside the star rating system in China. According to Ying Liu, director of the Scenic Spot and Tourism Accommodation Industry Supervision Department of the Marketing Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Ministry of Commerce has counted more than 500,000 accommodation enterprises nationwide, while there are only 11,000 star-rated hotels. According to the reporter’s investigation, in Shanghai alone, the number of "luxury" hotels with "five-star price" is two or three times that of hotels with five-star rating. Some high-end hotels that were previously exposed to the existence of "bath towel to wipe the toilet" and "toilet brush to brush the teacup" have "no stars to pick".

  In addition, due to information disclosure and other reasons, the pressure of "star-catching" is often not effectively transmitted to the market to form operational pressure, and many "bad-rated" hotels are still "like a cloud". The reporter found that Beijing Chang ‘an Hotel and Zibo Century Hotel, which were previously "star-picked", were still in tight demand, and the staff of a hot spring resort hotel in Beijing even told reporters that "the hotel price has not been adjusted after the star-picking".

  Authority, professionalism and degree of marketization are the "shortcomings" of the star rating system.

  The reporter learned from the person in charge of the relevant work of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism that china tourist hotels association is the specific undertaking unit for the current star rating and review, which is equivalent to the permanent office of the National Star Evaluation Committee.

  "The star rating system faces the risk of continuing to slump." Zhang Rungang, vice president of china tourism association and president of china tourist hotels association, said frankly that at present, the hotel star rating standard can no longer meet the needs of industry development.

  Dai Bin, president of china tourism academy, believes that there are no laws and regulations to follow in judging the standards and quality of tourist accommodation services in China at present, and they still mainly rely on industry practices, industry standards and enterprise self-inspection. Tourism law and other relevant laws and regulations only provide principles, and the punishment is not enough. In addition, experts also pointed out that many star rating agencies currently have legal hidden dangers of lack of certification qualifications.

  According to Zhang Run Steel, the hotel star rating is a technical means of grading the accommodation industry, which is very professional. However, in reality, it is easily disturbed by other factors. For example, in some places, the relevant departments have spawned a large number of hotels that do not have the five-star conditions but are hard to open, which greatly weakens the gold content of the stars.

  Insiders told reporters that the current practice is to determine the authority to evaluate the level of star-rated hotels according to the administrative level: the state evaluates five stars, the provincial level evaluates four stars, and the city evaluates three stars. Experts pointed out that such an approach is a "relic" of the past administrative-led model, which makes it difficult to effectively allocate resources and meet the needs of market development.

  Experts such as Zhang Run Steel suggest that market-oriented reform is the way out for star rating system. First, the evaluation is carried out by a professional certification body with a high degree of marketization; Second, we should take the initiative to be included in the national certification and accreditation supervision system, and polish the "star brand" by promoting the marketization and specialization of star evaluation standards.

  The Ministry of Culture and Tourism said that it will conduct unannounced inspections of five-star hotels with "full coverage, double randomness and normalization", and at the same time strengthen the guidance of standards and revise the national standard of "Classification and Evaluation of Star Rating of Tourist Hotels".

Ada Choi faces lifelong paralysis? My father-in-law thundered: This is a rumor! (figure)

     





      Ada Choi


    Yesterday (8th), a surprising news broke out in the Hong Kong media: Ada Choi and her husband, Max Zhang, were newly married, but they suffered from severe back pain during their honeymoon. After examination, they found that they suffered from "ankylosing spondylitis" and might even be paralyzed for life. Ada Choi wailed for two days. In this regard, the reporter immediately contacted the brokerage company in Ada Choi and the broker in Max Zhang, and they both strongly denied this matter. After hearing this, Ada Choi’s father-in-law shouted angrily on the other end of the phone: "Rumors! All rumors! "


    Exposure may be lifelong paralysis.


    A Hong Kong media report published yesterday said that Ada Choi was like a bolt from the blue when she learned that she was suffering from ankylosing spondylitis, and the news that she might be paralyzed for life made her desperate. She also cried at home for two days. Because she was unwilling to let her beautiful life go away like this, and many people around her kept comforting and encouraging her, she finally decided to stand up bravely and break through the predicament. She stayed up all night online to trace the cause, hoping to find out the truth. After a difficult period of time, Ada Choi went to the hospital for examination again, only to know that things were not as serious as expected. The doctor told her that her condition was in the early stage, and she could definitely have children in the future, and filming would not be affected. After learning this good news, Ada Choi is very grateful for the care and support of his friends in times of trouble, and is confident to defeat the disease!


    In the same boat as Jay Chou.


    Coincidentally, in this report, Jay Chou was actually pulled down. The report said that when looking for the cause in Ada Choi, I accidentally discovered that Jay Chou was in the same boat, and the other party was exempted from military service because of this disease. Seeing that Jay Chou is now proficient in playing basketball and racing, Ada Choi regained her confidence and cleared her doubts, and she was no longer afraid of this "ankylosing spondylitis". The support of relatives and friends also made her understand that she could not give up easily. Some netizens encouraged Ada Choi not to give up: "Although ankylosing spondylitis is a very troublesome disease, it is generally hereditary, and Jay Chou also has it. Now it is not the same as living well!"


    The brokerage company denied getting sick.


    As for Ada Choi’s serious illness, the reporter contacted the brokerage company in Ada Choi for the first time yesterday. Unexpectedly, when the reporter explained the situation, the other party was very shocked: "I have never heard of such a thing? She has always been in good health, how can she get sick! " She also told reporters that Ada Choi’s agent, Chen Ruolan, has been on a business trip abroad recently and won’t be back until the 13th. She has never heard of Ada Choi’s serious illness. Subsequently, the reporter contacted Wei Xin, the agent of Ada Choi’s husband Max Zhang, trying to learn the truth from him. "Ada Choi has ankylosing spondylitis? Really? There is no such thing! I have been very busy recently, and I haven’t contacted Max Zhang for a long time, but I have never heard of such a thing! " Both of them denied Ada Choi’s illness. Finally, the reporter tried his best to contact Ada Choi’s father-in-law and wanted to ask him if he knew Ada Choi’s physical condition. After hearing this, the other party was very excited and shouted loudly on the phone: "Rumors! All rumors! " Then he hung up the phone. When the reporter called him again, he still looked very angry: "Where did you hear that? It’s all nonsense, she is in good health, thank you for your concern! "

  Ten years ago, in November 2011, ASEAN put forward the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP)" initiative, aiming at building a regional free trade arrangement with ASEAN as the core. In November of the following year, at the Seventh East Asia Summit, ASEAN countries and leaders of China, Japan and South Korea agreed to start RCEP negotiations.

  On November 15th last year, after eight years of negotiations, China and 10 ASEAN countries and 15 countries including South Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand formally signed the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement.

  On January 1 next year, RCEP will come into effect. Its total population, economic volume and total trade account for about 30% of the global total, making it the largest free trade zone in the world.

Intelligent manufacturing remoulds traditional manufacturing industry "veteran recruits" witness the iterative upgrade of glass manufacturing

CCTV News:We walked into an automobile glass production enterprise in Fujian together, and met a veteran who has been in business for 30 years and a recruit who just switched jobs this year.In their eyes, what new changes have intelligent manufacturing brought to traditional manufacturing?

In the production workshop of the world’s largest automobile glass manufacturer, pieces of glass slide out one after another along the production line, and the left and right rows of robotic arms effortlessly grab the glass from the line and accurately stack it aside.

Zheng Mingsheng, who has worked in the glass manufacturing industry for more than 30 years, witnessed the process of less and less manual labor on the production line. Nowadays, this production line runs automatically 24 hours a day, with a daily output of 600 tons of original glass sheets. The huge workshop is empty and does not need a manual worker. Moreover, the intelligent manufacturing system can also complete quality inspection, cutting and other work by itself.

After the deployment of intelligent production equipment and platform, the production efficiency of the production line increased by 30% and the defective rate decreased by 30%. Now Zheng Mingsheng just needs to sit in the office, and he can have an overview of the overall production data through the industrial Internet platform. And next to Zheng Mingsheng’s office, there is a darkroom laboratory, where engineer Chen Zhixing is conducting a research and development test of automobile glass. They want to test a new function of glass.

In fact, Chen Zhixing is a recruit who has joined the glass industry for less than a year. It was the brand-new concept of glass antenna that made him decide to switch from electronic communication industry to glass manufacturing. While bringing new technology, it also makes more use of intelligent manufacturing tools such as experiments and simulation systems, which improves the design ability and efficiency of glass. It is estimated that by the end of this year, the new models of many well-known car companies will be equipped with this new glass product.

Chery will "break" the calm and the interior will be more luxurious.

Low fuel consumption is in line with the car demand of many office workers. After all, what I think about on my way to and from work every day is definitely not power control, but saving money and ensuring basic transportation needs. Although not excellent, it can also reach the mainstream level of the same level. As for its advantages, please read on.

Chai Shanshan represents: China express industry, which has witnessed the "sparkling" for 15 years, expects the "courier brother" who pursues dreams to better integrate into the city.

  "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.

  [Learning, Struggling, Pursuing Dreams, Youth, China Youth Daily, Future Network, 2019 Special Report of the National People’s Congress]

  Xu Xiao, secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, pointed out in his speech at the third plenary meeting of the second session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, that there are still some problems in the career development of courier brother, such as long working hours, heavy labor intensity, complicated labor relations, poor job security, low social identity and difficulty in integrating into the city. Xu Xiao called for more protection and care for the courier brother. Improve job security, optimize industry management, strengthen humanistic care, and let the little brothers run happily, with peace of mind and comfort. How to give courier brother more protection and care? Future.com interviewed the first-line NPC deputies from the express delivery and postal industries in China, and listened to their voices together, hoping that the whole society could give the courier a little more understanding and support.

  — — editorial comment/note

  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.

2025 Porsche Taycan unveiled

On February 7th, the Porsche Taycan has been well received overall since its launch in 2019, but its range has been criticized, which is slightly inferior to that of luxury electric vehicles of the same level. The 2025 Taycan will significantly improve its range and performance, while optimizing its appearance and technology configuration.

In terms of appearance, the new Taycan has not changed much, mainly including new LED headlights and improved front fenders. The high-end version will have a new light strip running through the rear of the car, printed with a glowing red "PORSCHE" logo, and the low-end model will also be available for a fee. The TurboS will also add decorative vents on either side of the rear bumper, which will not have heat dissipation but are said to improve aerodynamic performance.

All versions of the Taycan will be replaced with new batteries. The capacity of the standard version has been increased to 83.6kWh. The optional high-performance battery pack is optional on the Taycan and 4S models, and the Turbo model is standard, and the capacity has been increased to 97.0kWh. The new battery uses a chemical formula with a higher nickel content, which significantly improves the capacity while maintaining the same size as the old model. Thanks to this, the new high-performance battery pack is about 9kg lighter than the old model. Although the new car configuration has been improved, the TurboS has reduced the curb weight by about 15kg.

Charging speeds have also been increased, with peak power up to 320 kilowatts, provided that it is connected to a powerful enough 800-volt DC fast charging pile. Fast charging is possible even when the battery is at a low temperature. The new car will also come standard with a 150-kilowatt DC/DC converter, further enhancing charging speeds on the 400-volt network.

Thanks to improved powertrain efficiency and a larger battery capacity, the new car’s range has also been improved. According to the European WLTP standard, the rear-drive version of the Taycan with a high-performance battery pack can reach a maximum range of 677 kilometers, an increase of 174 kilometers compared with the old model; the TurboS’s range has been increased from 467 kilometers to 631 kilometers.

Another major hardware change is the new rear motor, which is lighter and more powerful than before. It still has a two-speed transmission design to improve efficiency at high speeds. The rear-drive version maintains peak power at 402 horsepower, but no longer needs to activate ejection mode to get full power. Porsche estimates its 0-60 mph acceleration time at 4.5 seconds, which is 0.6 seconds faster than the old rear-drive version.

The power of the TurboS is increased, but it needs to be unlocked gradually by the driver. The base output of the two motors is increased to 764 horsepower, and the new "overspeed" function of the SportChrono package can release an additional 93 horsepower in 10 seconds, which is activated by the button on the steering wheel driving mode selector. The ejection mode can further release the power, and the peak power is increased to 938 horsepower and the peak torque reaches 1100 Nm (the corresponding figures for the old TurboS are 750 horsepower and 1,050 Nm).

In addition to the base model and TurboS, the Taycan 4S and Taycan Turbo will also continue to be available, the specific parameters have not been announced yet. Both the Taycan sedan and the CrossTurismo wagon will be available in the United States, but the latter does not have a rear-drive version.

Other hardware upgrades include air suspension and adaptive shock absorbers as standard in all versions. The anti-roll bar system is still available as an option, but the 48-volt electrical system is replaced by a new electro-hydraulic ActiveRide system. As well as suppressing roll, the system compensates for pitches and nods during acceleration and braking, and provides a so-called "lean-in" feature that allows the Taycan to tilt slightly when cornering (similar features are already available on some Mercedes models). Unfortunately, the new Taycan still does not have a single-pedal driving mode, which Porsche believes will affect the purity of the driving experience.

The interior of the new car has changed very little. New filters have been added to the optional passenger side screen, which can only be seen from the passenger seat, allowing for legal video playback while driving. The digital dashboard has also been redesigned, and can now display a prediction of the maximum charging speed supported by the car based on the current battery condition. The user interface features a new generation of AppleCarPlay +, which can control functions such as air conditioning. Drivers using Porsche’s own navigation system can also plan detailed routes around charging stations and target battery levels.

The price of the new car has also risen, the entry-level rear drive Taycan is now priced at $101,395 (IT home note: currently about 731,000 yuan), Taycan4S is priced at $120,495 (currently about 869,000 yuan), TaycanTurbo is priced at $175,595 (currently about 1.266 million yuan), TaycanTurboS is priced at $210,995 (currently about 1.521 million yuan), the cheapest is $113,095 (currently about 815,000 yuan) Taycan4CrossTurismo, the new car from the summer delivery.
