After getting rid of poverty and taking off the hat, is the risk of returning to poverty too headache? This red holy land has three tricks.

On April 26, 2020, with the announcement of the withdrawal of the last four poverty-stricken counties, all 11 poverty-stricken counties in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province took off their hats and basically got rid of regional overall poverty. In this tough battle to get rid of poverty, the old area in southern Jiangxi has handed over a satisfactory answer sheet to get rid of poverty by insisting that Qingshan does not relax. The number of poor people in the city decreased from 1,150,300 at the beginning of precise poverty alleviation to 28,200 at the end of 2019, and the incidence of poverty dropped to 0.37%. 

Gannan has entered the "post-poverty alleviation era", but the cadres and the masses here have not stopped moving forward. Half a month, the reporter visited this old revolutionary base area and developed a hot spot, and found that local innovations used various measures such as early warning and monitoring, industrial guidance, and insurance coverage to weave a network to prevent poverty, helping the people in the old areas embark on the road of stable poverty alleviation and well-off life.

Early warning and monitoring: early detection and early rescue

At the end of 2019, Song Xin, a poor household in Chishui Village, Lishi Town, dingnan county City, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, went to Guangdong for medical treatment because of compound thalassemia, and paid 23,000 yuan at his own expense.

After Song Xin just paid the fee, the relevant departments in dingnan county obtained this information, and immediately included Song Xin in the minimum living allowance according to the procedure, and at the same time provided temporary assistance. At the beginning of 2020, he was given a one-time temporary assistance of 4,500 yuan. Now, thanks to government assistance, Song Xin has a monthly subsistence allowance of more than 1,800 yuan, and the family’s life has improved significantly.

The story of Song Xin’s rescue is the epitome of Ganzhou’s innovative measures and the implementation of the early warning mechanism of poverty. "Through real-time data transmission, if poor households pay more than 10,000 yuan out of pocket in the hospital, we will get relevant information and provide them with necessary assistance." Liu Jianfei, chief of the treatment and protection section of Ganzhou Medical Insurance Bureau, said.

All 11 poverty-stricken counties have "lifted their hats" and basically got rid of regional overall poverty … … In the face of the staged victory in tackling poverty, Ganzhou City has not been careless and relaxed. On the contrary, it has continuously increased the risk of preventing poverty and returning to poverty, and fully implemented the early warning mechanism for poverty and returning to poverty.

Zhong Xiaochun, deputy director of the Ganzhou Poverty Alleviation Office, said that Ganzhou relies on the national poverty alleviation and development information system, big data technology and other information means to understand the situation of unstable poverty-stricken households and poor marginal households whose annual per capita disposable income is about 1.5 times lower than the national poverty alleviation standard and have the risk of returning to poverty through mass declaration, daily investigation of grassroots cadres and early warning screening of relevant industry departments, and comprehensively grasp the risk points.

"As long as risks are discovered, relevant departments such as civil affairs and medical insurance will immediately contact the masses to prevent problems before they happen." Kang Renlu, deputy director of Ganzhou Civil Affairs Bureau, said. In addition, in order to give full play to the early warning function of temporary assistance, Ganzhou city has also delegated the approval authority of temporary assistance of more than 3,000 yuan to towns and villages, and comprehensively standardized the assistance situation, procedures and amount of emergency assistance, expenditure assistance and basic living difficulties.

By mid-October 2020, among the 28,200 poverty-stricken marginal households and monitoring households in Ganzhou City, 15,800 objects that meet the conditions of civil security are included in the scope of rural subsistence allowances, destitute support or other civil assistance.

Industrial upgrading: solid foundation and long-term benefit

Goose village, with a high mountain and a long road, is about 15 kilometers away from the central town of Xiaoxi Township, Yudu County. Many years ago, after the collapse of his old house in the village, it was considered that it was difficult to find a way out in the ravine. Zeng Biao, a poor household in Epo Village, took a family of five to rent a house in Duxian County, and the whole family relied on him to go out to work to make a living.

In recent years, Ganzhou city has carried out the relocation of deep-mountain immigrants in an all-round way, and built industrial bases in ex situ poverty alleviation relocation sites. In October 2018, Zeng Biao’s family moved into the resettlement site in the central town of Xiaoxi Township, and at the end of 2019, they took the initiative to contract a 10-mu vegetable greenhouse, with an annual income of 100,000 yuan. "I have my own house, a stable income, and high-quality educational resources. This is something I didn’t even think about before." Zeng Wei said.

Li Heng, secretary of the Party Committee of Xiaoxi Township, said that the most fundamental thing for poor households to get rid of poverty and not return to poverty is to rely on industrial development. At this point, Ganzhou cadres and masses have a high degree of consensus. Li Zhongtao, member of the Standing Committee of Yudu County Committee and Minister of Propaganda, said that the annual output value of Yudu textile and garment industry has exceeded 40 billion yuan, making it a regional industrial center, which not only promotes local economic development, but also provides stable jobs for a large number of poor households, effectively preventing them from returning to poverty.

It is understood that Ganzhou city has taken various measures to promote industrial upgrading, especially to increase support for agricultural industries with significant poverty-stricken effects. Local professional vegetable farmers are introduced to provide farmers with planting demonstration and technical guidance, and agricultural experts are hired to serve in the countryside to help coordinate and solve the loan problem … … With the help of these policies, in addition to the traditional Gannan navel orange, greenhouse vegetables and special farming have become the new highlights of Ganzhou’s poverty alleviation industry.

Zhong Daying is a poverty-stricken household in Bailu Township, Ganxian County. Due to congenital polio, his hand and foot mobility and language ability are greatly affected, but his intelligence is normal and he has a strong desire to get rid of poverty. In 2015, the Bailu Township Party Committee and the government formulated a specific poverty alleviation plan for him, providing accurate assistance in industrial development, technical guidance and fund raising.

Today, Zhong Daying has planted 20 mu of navel orange, 10 mu of chestnut and 10 mu of grapefruit, and raised more than 5,000 chickens every year, which not only achieved poverty alleviation, but also became the leader of poverty alleviation in the village. "Thanks to the help of the government, I can develop and get rid of poverty so quickly." Zhong Daying happily introduced the new house he was building to the reporter who talked for half a month, and his confidence in the future was written on his face.

Poverty prevention insurance: the bottom line against accidents

In recent years, Ganzhou has built a protective line for the masses through many measures, but various poverty-causing risks still exist. In this regard, Ganzhou City took the lead in innovating and implementing "precise poverty prevention insurance" in the province, and explored the construction of a long-term mechanism to prevent poverty.

"In practice, Ganzhou City found that rural low-income households on the edge of poverty and poverty-stricken households with unstable per capita income are easy to return to poverty and are likely to become ‘ Poverty increment ’ Therefore, the innovative development of ‘ Accurate poverty prevention insurance ’ The premium is subsidized by the government. " Wen Yanping, a second-level researcher of Ganzhou Banking Insurance Supervision Branch, said, "This insurance does not talk about profit, but only about social responsibility."

After nearly three years of exploration, the target of accurate poverty prevention insurance has expanded from rural "two non-households" to urban poor people; The scope of protection has expanded from the initial three risks of illness, school and disaster to six risks of illness, school, disaster, accident, loss of means of production and unemployment; The compensation standard has also increased from the original maximum of 90,000 yuan per person to 200,000 yuan.

Rencun Village, Egret Township, Ganxian County is geographically remote, and some villagers make a living by farming. "In recent years, crops have often been destroyed by wild boar, and everyone can only ‘ Break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach ’ 。” Guo Lilin, the first secretary of Liren Village, said.

Yang Huaigao, a 68-year-old poor household, is one of them. Yang Huaigao’s family of nine people, except for his son-in-law who goes out to work, has some income, and their daily expenses depend on 5 mu of rice fields at home and camellia oleifera in the mountains. In October 2019, the high-quality rice that was about to be harvested was damaged by wild boar for more than 4 mu, and Camellia oleifera also lost more than 5,000 yuan due to drought. "I thought there was nothing I could do about it. I could only save a little." Yang Huaigao said.

After learning about the situation of Yang Huaigao’s family and the policy of "precise poverty prevention insurance", the village reported his family’s situation. In the end, Yang Huaigao received a compensation of 10,800 yuan. Faced with this unexpected compensation, Yang Huaigao was overjoyed and kept "thanking the party and the government for their good policies".

Can’t sit still! Countdown to the New Deal, car owners have sold their cars and transferred their ownership.

  Chinanews. com client Beijing December 20th (Reporter Zhang Xu) Sigh, anxiety and busyness … … With the approaching of the official implementation date (January 1, 2021) of the new policy of regulating the number of passenger cars in Beijing, everyone involved has been mobilized, which can be said that some people are happy and others are worried.

  The way to rent and sell "Beijing brand" will be gone.

  "A business friend I know bought nine minivans and nine Beijing brands that year." Mr. Lu, the owner of the car, told the reporter of Zhongxin. com that one of his bosses who is not registered in Beijing and is engaged in fruit wholesale business has been increasing his income by renting and selling license plates for many years. "Nine cars are all Beijing brands. He has been waiting for the appreciation of these years."

  In recent years, due to the continuous decline in the lottery winning rate of Beijing passenger cars, the business of "renting Beijing brand" has continued to be hot in Beijing, and the restrictions on foreign-brand vehicles in Beijing have also caused the price of Beijing brand to rise.

  According to reports, the current offer for renting a Beijing brand is about 12,000 yuan per year, but if you really want to rent it, you need to pay additional money such as deposit and security deposit. A middleman can earn 5,000-6,000 yuan for a Beijing brand. Therefore, the actual price of renting Beijing brand for one year has reached about 20 thousand yuan.

  However, in the face of the New Deal, the road to renting Beijing brand has been blocked. In February 2020, the General Office of Beijing Municipal Government issued the Action Plan for Comprehensive Traffic Management in Beijing in 2020, which intensified the crackdown on the illegal activities of renting and selling passenger cars. The passenger car index confirmation notice is only used by the index owner. If there is any act of buying, selling, renting or renting, lending or borrowing the passenger car index confirmation notice, the index management institution will announce that the index is invalid.

  "Coupled with the New Deal next year, his Beijing brand business is estimated to be impossible. His family has no household registration and cannot transfer indicators. So many brands must be in their hands." Mr. Lu said.

  On December 7, the newly revised Interim Provisions on the Regulation of the Number of Passenger Cars in Beijing and the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Interim Provisions on the Regulation of the Number of Passenger Cars in Beijing were officially announced. The New Deal tilted towards car-free families and promoted the orderly withdrawal of the second and more passenger cars registered in this city under the name of individuals. The New Deal will be implemented on January 1, 2021.

  In other words, there can only be one passenger car indicator under each person’s name, which is the license plate. If there are multiple license plates in the name and there are no eligible transfer objects, the extra license plates will be invalidated together when the vehicle is scrapped.

  Queue up late at night to ensure the index, and the transfer of used cars has surged.

  According to the New Deal, as long as the vehicle transfer, transfer or cancellation registration has been completed before December 31, 2020, you can apply for updating the indicators at any time in the future.

  In addition, the relevant car owners do not need to apply for updating the indicators before the implementation of the New Deal, and there is no longer a time limit for applying for updating the indicators within 12 months after the implementation of the New Deal. However, once the application is obtained, the index is still valid for 12 months. If the vehicle under his name is sold or scrapped after January 1, 2021, only one of the vehicles can apply for the updated index.

  The reporter visited and found that many car owners rushed to sell old cars and buy new cars before the implementation of the New Deal to extend the service life of the indicators. As the date of the implementation of the New Deal is getting closer and closer, the transfer of ownership has become a top priority for car owners with related needs. The reporter learned from a number of interviewees that it even takes more than 24 hours to queue up to transfer to the Beijing Huaxiang used car trading market recently.

  "At the Huaxiang Market at two o’clock in the morning, queue up late at night to guarantee the indicators!" "If you want to transfer, you have to fill up the oil and come back. Don’t catch a cold for 24 hours. It took an hour to walk 10 meters. " "Huaxiang used car transfer, lined up for a few kilometers … …”

  Netizens said that vehicle transfer needs to be queued late at night. Weibo screenshot

  "The New Deal is coming, my dad is going to transfer an indicator to me, let me buy one quickly, and I will come and look at the second-hand one." In Beijing Huaxiang used car market, a young customer said to the salesperson. The staff said that after the release of the New Deal, the number of people who came to the store to see cars increased significantly, and more than half of them were young people who got indicators from their parents.

  Mr. Zhang, a citizen holding two passenger car indicators at the transfer site, is anxious to find a buyer for an extra car. Mr. Zhang admits that there are also indicators under the names of relatives, and he can only choose to sell the old car at the end of this year to make room for indicators, so that he can buy two new cars after the implementation of the New Deal.

  In response to Mr. Zhang’s situation, the customer service staff of the Beijing Passenger Car Indicators Control and Management Office said that if an individual has two indicators and two cars are sold this year, after the indicators are vacant, the two indicators can still buy two new cars after the implementation of the New Deal. However, if the vehicles under the two indicators are sold after the implementation of the New Deal, only one new car can be updated according to the requirements of the new regulations.

  In response to the surge in transfer business, the Beijing used car market has also started a seven-day work week model. On the basis of maintaining the original Monday-Saturday transfer, we will open the Sunday transfer business, and continue to handle it on December 13 and December 20, with the same acceptance time as other working days.

  The huge market demand makes the agency earn a lot of money. "Everyone is anxious to buy a car, and it is no problem to trade more than a dozen mid-to high-end used cars a day recently." A staff member of a used car brokerage company said.

  It’s just that the money doesn’t seem to be easy to earn. Lv Tianyi, who has gone through the formalities of licensing a new car, said that when looking for an agency, the cost of licensing a new car is around 1,500 yuan, while that of a used car ranges from 1,500 yuan to 3,000 yuan, which will be charged according to the condition of the used car, whether it has been modified or decorated, and so on.

  "In the first half of this year, business was generally not good. Recently, I saw that my former colleagues in the circle of friends were very busy, and they were all queuing for transfer. The business was really good, but it was really not easy in the cold weather."

  There are too many people selling cars, and some used cars have fallen by tens of thousands of yuan.

  With the surge in the number of used car transfers, the price of used cars is also falling.

  On December 17th, after more than a week’s consultation, Dai Nan, the owner of Chaoyang District, finally made up his mind to sell his Magotan, which had only been in operation for two or three years. Half a year ago, after seeing the news of pushing the second license plate under his personal name to withdraw in an orderly manner, he considered what to do with the car, but he never made a move. As a result, as soon as the New Deal landed, the quotation of used car dealers was immediately reduced by more than 10,000 yuan.

  In fact, it is not a case for car owners to encounter underpricing. Many car owners said on social media and forums that before and after the release of the New Deal, the price of cars was reduced by several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. The answer given by the car dealer is very straightforward: "When the New Deal comes out, the indicators will be invalidated if they can’t be updated. The market is like this, and the price is already ok. If you don’t sell it, some people will sell it."

  In order to sell a Mercedes R350 in his hand, Mr. Li asked a number of used car dealers in Beijing, but the price never reached expectations. "I am anxious to sell cars recently, but the used car dealers only give 150,000 yuan, which is much lower than I thought."

  "If a month ago, the price of this car should be more than 180,000 yuan." A second-hand car dealer said that now car owners are anxious to sell cars, and the source of cars is increasing. Second-hand car dealers also have to look at the market. At present, the prices of high, medium and low-end models have generally declined compared with a month ago.

  Used car dealers also have their own troubles. "We have to look at the market when we collect cars. The price of high-end models has not dropped much, and the price of low-end models has been reduced by almost 20%. Many of the cars sold are older models of National III and National IV, which can no longer be sold in Beijing and need to be moved to areas with looser emission standards. The owner feels that we are pushing down the price too much, but it is not easy for us. The market is like this. Transfer and relocation are all costs and have to be counted. " A used car dealer said.

  It is worth noting that the lack of indicators of some used car dealers has also become one of the reasons for the decline in car prices. "Many of us are also personal indicators for renting. These cars must be sold this year, otherwise they will all be in their hands."

  Selling old ones for new ones, it is hard to find a car for popular models in 4S shops.

  Also affected by the market is Mr. Zhang who wants to replace Ollie A6L. At the end of last year, car dealers offered more discounts, but more cars were sold and more cars were bought. This year, the discount was reduced.

  The new Audi A6L car that Mr. Zhang took a fancy to, after ten days’ hard work, the terminal discount was reduced from 20% to 14%, and the price of the old car was suppressed, which added up to nearly 40,000 yuan more than expected.

  "Many popular models are even hard to find a car." According to CCTV’s financial report, I visited a number of 4S shops selling cars in Beijing. The staff said that many car owners recently chose to buy new cars immediately after selling their old cars or scrapping their vehicles. Therefore, some popular models in the store have been sold out, and some even have a small price increase.

  According to the Voice of China report of the Central Radio and Television General Station, the supply of new cars in 4S stores is in short supply, and the sales of 4S stores have said that many hot-selling models are not available now, and even the prototype cars in some exhibition halls are sold out.

  "Maybe everyone didn’t study the policy that just came out, and they were anxious to buy a car and settle down." Some insiders said that in fact, as long as the vehicle transfer, transfer or cancellation registration has been completed during the period from January 1 to December 31, 2020, you can apply for updating indicators at any time in the future, and you don’t need to apply for updating indicators before the implementation of the New Deal.

One is twenty or thirty yuan at a time! Why is it difficult to get cheap toothpaste on supermarket shelves?

  BEIJING, Oct. 30 (Xinhua News Agency reporter Xie Yiguan) Toothpaste is a necessity in life, but recently many people have found that toothpaste sold in supermarkets is becoming more and more expensive. "I remember that in the past, the most expensive toothpaste was only a dozen or twenty pieces. Now the toothpaste is generally twenty or thirty pieces." Some consumers spit.

  Why did two or three yuan toothpaste disappear?

  It costs twenty or thirty yuan, but toothpaste under ten yuan is hard to find.

  Regarding the rising price of toothpaste, Xiao Ni, a consumer who recently went shopping in the supermarket, has a deep understanding.

  "Looking around, most of them are toothpaste of twenty or thirty yuan, and the better ones are thirty or forty yuan. The cheapest Crest salt white toothpaste also needs 6.9 yuan, and the price is too outrageous."

  As Xiao Ni said, recently, Sino-Singapore financial reporters visited a number of supermarkets, and the price of toothpaste was generally above that of 10 yuan. Among them, the range from 15 yuan to 40 yuan was relatively concentrated, and the price of a few brands of toothpaste such as Shushida could reach above 40 yuan, while only two or three models were below 10 yuan.

  This is also consistent with the data of the offline research of Ai Media Consulting. According to previous research, among the 40 or 50 kinds of toothpaste sold by large supermarkets, the price of a toothpaste is 10-mdash; 20 yuan accounts for 60%, 20 yuan or above accounts for 35%, and there are only two or three kinds below 10 yuan.

  In addition to the disappearance of low-priced toothpaste on supermarket shelves, many consumers have also found that the price of some toothpaste has doubled.

  "This cold sour toothpaste is now selling for 7.58 yuan. I remember that it only costs two or three yuan; Chinese toothpaste, which once cost a few dollars, is now ‘ Upgrade ’ Later, it was also sold to 20 yuan. " Xiao Ni mentioned.

  According to Huaxi Securities Research Report, the average price data of ordinary toothpaste of about 120g released by the National Development and Reform Commission showed that its price increased from 8.38 yuan/box on June 30, 2015 to 10.61 yuan/box on February 28, 2021, and the overall price of the industry showed an upward trend. This also proves that the price increase of toothpaste is not "somatosensory".

  Why is toothpaste more expensive?

  Toothpaste, which used to cost tens of dollars, was called "Hermes" in the toothpaste industry. Nowadays, the average person in the toothpaste industry is "Hermes". What caused the toothpaste to become more and more expensive?

  Many people may consider the cost factor. According to national standards, toothpaste is mainly composed of friction agent, humectant, thickener, foaming agent, fragrance, water and other additives. Although corresponding effective ingredients will be added based on different efficacy, according to published data, the production cost of raw materials is relatively low.

  Dengkang Dental owns brands such as Lengsuanling, and its prospectus shows that from 2019 to 2021, the unit cost of the company’s adult toothpaste was 1.53 yuan, 1.47 yuan and 1.50 yuan respectively.

Screenshot from Dengkang Dental Prospectus.

  Screenshot from Dengkang Dental Prospectus.

  Although the unit cost remained stable, its sales unit price increased year after year, driving the gross profit margin to increase year by year.

  In this regard, Denkang Dental said that the company has grasped the trend of consumption upgrading, complied with the development direction of diversified demand for toothpaste and high-end products, continuously carried out research and development upgrades on the basis of existing products, and continuously expanded its market share in mid-to high-end adult toothpaste. The unit price of product sales has increased year by year.

  Denkang’s remarks also unveiled the tip of the iceberg of toothpaste brand collective "momentum".

  In recent years, toothpaste enterprises are addicted to product upgrading, promoting whitening, anti-allergy, anti-sugar, refreshing breath and other effects by adding enzymes, probiotics, hyaluronic acid, amino acids and other ingredients, and even refining the use scenarios, on the one hand, catering to consumers’ demand for toothpaste functionality, on the other hand, because there is huge profit space behind all kinds of "gimmicks".

  All along, the toothpaste market is in a fierce competition situation. At one time, the domestic toothpaste market was occupied by two-faced needles and cold acid spirit. Later, foreign-funded enterprises poured in. Under the circumstance of "attacking the city slightly", the industry once fought a price war, coupled with the rising price of raw materials, the gross profit margin continued to decline. The sudden emergence of functional toothpaste such as Yunnan Baiyao has enabled the industry to find a "wealth password".

  "As a result, toothpaste companies have stopped producing traditional toothpastes that don’t make money and started to focus on functional toothpastes. The pricing of functional toothpastes far exceeds that of traditional toothpastes before, so that many toothpaste manufacturers introduce a new efficacy every once in a while, and then mention a price by the way. In this case, it is a natural trend for toothpaste to become more expensive. " Jiang Yan, a senior researcher at Pangu think tank, believes.

  With the continuous "upgrade" of products, we still need to make great efforts to carry out marketing, and please all the stars to speak for us. From the research report of toothpaste listed companies, the sales cost of toothpaste has been rising all the way. These marketing costs ultimately require consumers to "pay the bill".

  Can you still buy cheap toothpaste?

  During the reporter’s visit to the supermarket, a male customer was shopping for toothpaste. After looking at the price, he chose the favorite one between the two toothpaste with the lowest price. At the same time, the reporter noticed that the special price of Shuke baking soda toothpaste in 10 yuan in a supermarket in Beijing was sold to only one.

  The demand for low-priced toothpaste is still strong. Nowadays, the price of toothpaste is tens of yuan, which also makes many netizens miss the days when they bought a toothpaste for two or three yuan. Where did the cheap toothpaste go?

  The reporter’s online search found that domestic old-fashioned toothpastes such as Baiyu and Tianqi are still on sale, and the price of a single one is mostly below 10 yuan; A Crest toothpaste with strong roots and strong teeth is sold at a high price only in 4.5 yuan. In addition, some unknown brands of toothpaste are also cheaper.

  People who stay in the hotel will find that toothpaste, such as double-sided needles, which we are familiar with, frequently appears in disposable articles in the hotel. But these low-priced products are hard to appear on supermarket shelves.

  Jiang Han said that for most supermarkets, the cost of each shelf is basically fixed, and the cost of selling various toothpaste products is similar. Therefore, toothpaste with higher profit level is often more attractive to supermarkets, and more and more supermarkets tend to sell high-priced toothpaste.

  Xiao Ni once mentioned that low-priced toothpaste is mostly displayed on the lower shelf. This is also consistent with what the reporter observed in some supermarkets.

  With the increasing "efficacy" of toothpaste, the publicity is increasingly "cosmetic" and the industry supervision is also improving.

  The Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Toothpaste issued by the State Administration of Market Supervision this year clearly stipulates that toothpaste shall be put on record, and the toothpaste filer shall be responsible for the quality, safety and efficacy of toothpaste. In the industry’s view, after the implementation of the "Measures", it may be possible to publicize the efficacy of various toothpastes to "lower the fire". (End)

Known as the strongest man-made, Nagata Yongmei has understood the true meaning of online celebrity?

       As a youth-oriented industry, the actress at this age (24 years old) of Nagata has already needed to consider pulling out. In the past, these retired AV actresses either stayed at home and taught their children, or completely lost their news, thus achieving a real retirement.

       It’s ok to continue in the AV business, and some people choose to go behind the scenes and become makeup artists. After all, as an old-timer, my skills in all aspects are always better than those of my younger generation.

       At the beginning, there was a female group named "Ebisu Muscats" that attracted attention. All the members of the group were retired AV actresses, nightclub publicists and so on. After packaging, they made various variety shows and performances together.

       Up to now, this women’s group has changed many groups of members. Even if the new members don’t look so familiar, if you search its information, you will surely see many "old acquaintances" among the past members.

       Of course, when it comes to the transformation of actresses, Kirara Asuka is bound to be an unavoidable topic. After retiring early, she not only invested in a beauty shop, but also did a great job in designing swimwear and underwear. Even in August last year, Teacher Tomorrow Flower’s hotel was opened.

Ranger. com 21

       Perhaps no one could have thought that this former top actress had such a strong talent in business.

Ranger. com 22

       However, the above paths are either not easy or not so comfortable. Some people are as prosperous as Kirara Asuka, but some people also lose their wives’ money when they start a business. Ueharaai, another well-known actress, chose a business that is comfortable and can make quick money — — Speculate virtual currency.

       Not only do I share my experience with netizens on Twitter every day, but I also believe that it will rise with confidence, and then there is the leek behavior of "others are afraid that I am crazy, and others will clear their positions and I will add positions". As for what the virtual currency market is like recently, I think most of your friends have heard of it.

       Incidentally, Ueharaai, who lost all his wife, was forced to "make a comeback" earlier this year (but it seems that she only performed offline).

Ranger network 24

       It is under the influence of the general environment that "online celebrity", a glamorous and comfortable job with almost zero cost, may become the home of more and more female talents.

       It’s just like the "most popular actress" list published every year. The popularity of social platforms is also the embodiment of these teachers’ achievements in another field. The success of Kirara Asuka and Shentian’s praise of beauty undoubtedly tells the outside world that there are always two brushes to achieve top flow in one line.

Huai ‘an, Jiangsu Province: The Grand Canal "deformed" and unblocked the golden waterway.

  The Grand Canal and Li Canal pass through Huai ‘an City. Following the clue of a 1958 "Comparison Diagram of the New and Old River Lines of the Grand Canal Project" in Huai ‘an Archives, we can understand the relationship between the "two canals" and also open the struggle history of Huai ‘an people in governing the Grand Canal under the leadership of the Party.

  Schematic diagram of comparison between old and new river lines of Grand Canal Project

  The Li Canal, also known as the Huaiyang Canal, starts from Huai ‘an Qingkou Hub in the north and flows into the Yangtze River in Yangzhou in the south. Its predecessor was the Han ditch dug in the 5th century BC, which was the earliest section of the Grand Canal.

  The riverbanks on both sides are short and thin, resulting in poor flood control ability of the Li Canal. Before the founding of New China, during the flood season, Li Canal often burst its banks and overflowed everywhere, and Huai ‘an was the first victim. After the flood, the water source dried up, and shipping and people’s living water were in trouble. In the early days of the founding of New China, the width of some sections of the Li Canal was only over 20 meters, and the narrowest part was only about 10 meters. In the wet season, the water depth is only 2-3 meters, and only wooden boats of about 30 tons can pass. In the dry season, navigation is often interrupted, or even dried up to the bottom, and shipping is basically paralyzed.

  After the founding of New China, the Grand Canal was managed. By the end of 1950s, more than 1,100 kilometers of the Grand Canal had been navigable. With the rapid development of socialist construction, in terms of industrial and agricultural construction, the areas along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal have achieved unprecedented development, and the transportation volume of various industrial and agricultural products has doubled. However, the transportation volume of the southern section of the Jin-Pu Railway has been saturated, and the position of the Grand Canal in inland navigation has become more prominent. In 1958, the State Council put forward the task of managing the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal by stages and unified planning.

  According to the Records of Huai ‘an Water Conservancy, the old canal in the urban area is narrow and tortuous, and there are cross-river sluice bridges such as Beimen Bridge, Shuimen Bridge and Qingjiang Gate. The revetment on both sides of the river needs to be demolished and rebuilt, and more than 25,500 factories and houses along the coast need to be demolished. There are a large number of underwater, so it is difficult to excavate in the urban area, and there are contradictions between construction and land and water transportation, and the development of Huaiyin Port is also restricted. In addition, there are towns such as Banzha and Hexia to the south of Huaiyin, and the task of demolition is great. After the comparison and demonstration of the schemes, it was decided to cut and straighten the original Huaiyin and Huai ‘an sections of the Grand Canal and open a new river.

  The west end of the project started from Yangzhuang Commune in Huaiyin County (now Huaiyin District) and ended at Yangmiao Village in Yanhe Commune in Huai ‘an County in the south. Construction started in September 1959. "The standing migrant workers of Chenji People’s Commune actively do all the preparatory work to ensure that they can participate in the excavation project on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal on time … …” On August 25, 1959, Huaihai Daily published an article entitled "The standing migrant workers of Chenji Commune are ready to leave for the Grand Canal site".

  According to Huaihai Daily, Huaiyin District invested more than 12,000 migrant workers in the Grand Canal construction site. The first phase of the project was originally planned to be completed in June 1960, but it was required by the provincial and prefectural committees to be completed in 1959, and the Huaiyin area sent more migrant workers twice, which made the project progress rapidly and completed half a year earlier than originally planned.

  "Before September last year, it was still flat. Now, a new river with a length of 2,900 meters, a width of 60 to 160 meters (the bottom of the river) and a depth of 5 to 5 meters and 5 inches has been opened, and levees with a height of 4 meters have been built on both sides. After inspection, the quality of the project is good." On January 5, 1960, Huaihai Daily described the scene after the completion of the first phase of the project.

  After the Huaihe section of the Grand Canal was finally completed, the Li Canal and the newly built Grand Canal coexisted.

  Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal

  From 1960 to 1982, the Jiangsu Provincial Communications Department treated the south section of the Li Canal irrigation main canal in northern Jiangsu in two phases. From December 1987 to the end of April 1988, the underwater dredging project was carried out on the waterway of the Huaibei section of the Subei Canal. In the 21st century, the "three to two" project has been implemented for the Huaibei section of the Northern Jiangsu Canal (from Yangzhuang Town in Huaiyin District to Huai ‘an Shiplock) to meet the needs of the rapid development of water transport.

  As the artery of water transport, the transportation function of the Grand Canal is irreplaceable. The Huai ‘an section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is 60 kilometers long, which is the section with the highest shipping utilization rate. In recent years, Huai ‘an has fully implemented the strategic deployment of "a strong transportation country" and "a strong transportation province" by the central government, the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and made every effort to push the construction of the high-standard Grand Canal cultural belt to a new level. In 2018, the Provincial Communications Department compiled the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the Green Modern Shipping Development of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in Jiangsu Province", and determined the Huai’ an Shiplock to Jiulong Lake Park section in Huai’ an, which is one of the four demonstration sections in the province. At present, the construction of the green modern shipping demonstration zone in Huai ‘an section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is in full swing, and it will be one of the national inland river shipping benchmarks and model projects for building a transportation power with clean and ecological waterway environment, clean and efficient port production, energy-saving and environmental protection of ship equipment, safe and convenient shipping service and remarkable improvement of cultural quality, which will greatly promote Huai ‘an’s economic and social development, coastal environmental beautification and historical and cultural protection.

Turkey changed its English name

Author | Blue Sky and Clear Away

Editor | |Thomas

Turkey’s English country name "Turkey" also means "Turkey" in English. The United States has the habit of eating turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Turkey thinks that its country name is linked to turkey, which affects its national image.

Not only that, Turkey also derives the meaning of "idiot, fool" in English. In Chinese, Turkey also has a nickname called "native chicken".

Turks can’t stand their country name being used as a joke. At the beginning of 2022, Turkish President Erdogan signed a communique to change the spelling of English country names from Turkey to Turkey. The Turkish government indicated that it would register a new English name with the United Nations as soon as possible.

▲ The official Turkish travel website has been renamed.

How did Turkey’s English country name "Turkey" come into being? Why is it linked to "turkey"?

▲ Eating "turkey" becomes a Thanksgiving ceremony in the United States.

First, the "trouble" guinea fowl

In modern Turkish, Turkey is written as Türkiye (Land of Turks). The country name of Turkey evolved from the word Turk, which means "brave" in Turkic, and Turks also consider themselves direct descendants of Turks.

In the 3rd century BC, Huns first occupied the Mongolian Plateau. After the Han Dynasty weakened the Huns, Xianbei and Rouran successively occupied the Mongolian Plateau from the 2nd century to the 5th century. At the same time, there were other nomadic countries in Central Asia, and Turkey believed that its history was inextricably linked with these nomadic countries.

▲ The troubles of Sui and Tang empires.

In the 6th century A.D., Rouran’s Turkic tribe defeated Rouran and established the Turkic khanate in the Mongolian Plateau. However, under the attack of Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Turkic khanate was split in two.

A large number of Turks migrated from Central Asia to West Asia, and the Turkic ministries who moved to West Asia converted to Islam and became an important political force in West Asia.

In 1299, Osman I, the leader of Kaye tribe of Ugus, a branch of Turkic, established political power in Asia Minor Peninsula, namely the Ottoman Empire.

In 1453, the Ottoman Empire occupied Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, and the Roman Empire, which lasted for thousands of years, died. After the annexation of the Balkans, the Ottoman Empire launched several rounds of invasions on Central Europe, and the imperial army became the nightmare of the Christian kingdom in Europe.

▲ Osman I

The word Turkey was originally transliterated from the Latin Turcae, referring to the nomadic people along the Black Sea. After the Turkic people came into contact with Europe, this word began to be used in a series of Turkic countries.

As early as before the establishment of the Ottoman Empire, the Byzantine Empire (395- 1453 AD, the common language was Greek) once called the Seljuk Empire, another regime established by Turks in West Asia, Tourkia.

▲ Seljuk Empire was once the overlord of West Asia.

Since the Middle Ages, Europeans used to refer to the Muslim areas of the Ottoman Empire as "Turchia" or "Turquia", which means the land of Turks and Turks. These words can be found in the Book of the Duchess published by the British poet geoffrey chaucer in 1369.

After development, at the latest in 1719, the English spelling of "Turkey" was solidified into Turkey. Correspondingly, the ruling people of the Ottoman Empire were called "Turks". The Ottoman Empire is often called the "Turkish Empire". Since the Ottoman Empire is the core of the Islamic world, Europeans also use "Turkey" to refer to the Islamic world.

▲Turkey is a "common name" given by Europe to the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire likes to use the title of "Ottomans", but the title of "Turkey" is not popular.

Although there are many ethnic groups in the territory, the Ottoman Empire is more accustomed to roughly dividing its subjects into Muslims and non-Muslims based on religion. In 1517, the Ottoman Empire defeated the Mamluk dynasty that ruled Egypt and extended its rule to North Africa.

▲ Mamluk dynasty that once ruled around Egypt (red)

The Ottoman Empire controlled the trade routes from North Africa to Europe, and many products had to go through the Ottoman Empire to reach Europe, which inevitably led Europeans to have a misunderstanding-the Ottoman Empire was the origin of goods, and Guinea fowl was one of many misunderstandings.

▲ Guinea fowl

There are about 10 different species of guinea fowl, most of which live in sub-Saharan Africa. Its meat quality is drier and tougher than that of domestic chickens, with less fat and rich in protein.

After the Ottoman Empire conquered North Africa, Guinea fowl followed the footsteps of African businessmen and crossed the Sahara desert to North Africa, where it was transported to Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, via Arab or Greek businessmen in West Asia.

▲ Ottoman Empire before 1878

As the core of a huge empire, Istanbul is also a commercial center of the empire. Since the 16th century, people can see all kinds of guinea fowl in the bustling bazaar (market) in the city. These African-born birds are huge, their feathers are dotted with spots, and they are also very conspicuous in the bazaar.

Guinea fowl comes from far away sub-Saharan Africa, which is not the territory of the Ottoman Empire, but British businessmen in the Ottoman Empire still call it "turkey cock" or "turkey coq", that is, Turkish cock.

▲ Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire

From the 16th century, guinea fowl came to western Europe from the ports of North Africa with merchant ships. People in Britain and France did not deliberately explore which tribe the merchants bought these species from. The British people also imitated the merchants and called the guinea fowl "Turkish cock".

Compared with the British who try to save trouble, France, the Netherlands and other countries are more strict in naming. They know that the Ottoman Empire is not the origin of guinea fowl, but the "shrewdness" of countries such as France and Holland will stop here. They think that guinea fowl comes from distant India, and the French guinea fowl is called "Lepoulet indien" (Indian chicken).

It is precisely because of the British "trying to save trouble" that the guinea fowl originated in Africa has inexplicably become "made in Turkey". This misunderstanding became more and more serious. With the rise of the European colonial empire, Turkey was finally bound to turkey in the process of spreading English.

Second, in the name of Turkey

After the Ottoman Empire controlled the Middle East and North Africa, the traditional trade routes were controlled by it. Encouraged by opening up new trade routes to the East and spreading Christian beliefs to the outside world, Europeans ushered in the era of "great geographical discovery".

In 1492, although Columbus didn’t reach the East where he wanted to go, he let Europeans first touch the American continent. Countries such as Spain, Portugal, Britain and France have successively launched colonial activities in America.

▲ new route opening

In September 1620, a sailboat named "Mayflower" carried 102 passengers from England to Virginia Colony. Because the ship deviated from the course, may flower was forced to dock in today’s Massachusetts, which was far less developed than Virginia.

In order to survive, people decided to build a new town in Massachusetts and named it New Plymouth after the sailing place.

▲ Come to the New World

There is a widely spread story that neighboring Indians lend a helping hand to British immigrants. They sent all kinds of food, including turkey, and taught British immigrants how to fish and build houses.

In the autumn of 1621, New Plymouth ushered in a bumper harvest. In order to show gratitude, British immigrants invited Indians to celebrate together. Indian leader Massasso led his people to a banquet, and people sang and danced for three days, which was the embryonic form of Thanksgiving.

▲ Thanks to the Indians

In fact, there is no record of this carnival in the diaries of the first immigrants from New Plymouth. On the contrary, in 1637, john winthrop, the governor of Massachusetts, launched a war against Indian tribes. After killing hundreds of Pecots, Winslow announced to British immigrants that "this day should be a Thanksgiving Day. Thank God, we conquered Pecots".

The origin of Thanksgiving Day is not as beautiful as the legend, but the turkey was indeed obtained from the association between British immigrants and Indians. Before the arrival of European colonists, Indians had raised turkeys for hundreds of years.

▲ Winslow

In the eyes of British immigrants, turkey and guinea fowl are the same species. With a fat body and a colorful head, the name of the Turkish rooster was put on the turkey. Since then, the name "turkey fowl" has come into being.

Turkey, with its plump meat, soon became an important food for the colonial people in North America. The name of the turkey is also simplified, and the fowl (bird) used to indicate the attribute is omitted, and only the name of "origin" is retained (even if the turkey has nothing to do with Turkey).

"Turkey" has become the official name of turkey, and there is no difference between them except the case of the first letter.

▲ Turkey (left) and Guinea fowl (right)

The name of Turkey in English changed from guinea fowl to turkey, and so did the name of "Indian chicken" in French.

In addition to foreign countries, Polish, Hebrew, Catalan and other languages also call turkey "Indian chicken".

After the great geographical discovery, turkeys also appeared in the markets of the Ottoman Empire along with commercial activities. The Ottomans knew that this kind of chicken had nothing to do with themselves, so they learned from the French that turkey was called "hindi" (Indian chicken). India, however, was ruled by Britain in modern times. In local languages, most turkeys are called "Turkish chickens" like English.

▲ The Ottoman Empire in the 19th century

This story is somewhat similar to the fact that the Dutch bean in China population becomes China bean in the Dutch mouth, and the charm and fun of language are contained in it.

Looking at the essence of the problem, turkeys originating in North America have many names among the Indian population, meaning mostly "big bird". However, Indians have no right to speak, but Britain and the rising United States spread the name "turkey" all over the world with colonial expansion and cultural export.

▲ The British navy is strong.

Third, we are not "native chickens"

Almost every language has polysemy, and it is not surprising that country names have the same names as other things. "China" means porcelain, but few people compare China with porcelain.

However, turkey, as a necessary food for Thanksgiving in North America, is not only a little too ordinary, but also represents the meaning of being "eaten" by human beings, which cannot reflect the "sense of power" of the Ottoman Empire.

In the 18th century, the Ottoman Empire began to decline and became the target of aggression by European powers. At the same time, the colonial people in North America started the war of independence, and Britain was forced to recognize American independence in 1783.

▲ Thanksgiving Day

After 1800, turkey gradually became a regular dish on Thanksgiving Day. In 1863, President Lincoln set the date of Thanksgiving as the last Thursday in November. In English, the name of turkey solidified into turkey. Because the first impression of turkey seems to be not very smart, Turkey also extended "idiot, straw bag".

Britain is developing colonies all over the world, and the national strength of the United States is also booming. With the spread of English, turkey is known by more and more people, but most people know the word through turkey, and the original meaning of the word "Turkey" is not so important.

On the other side of the globe, the Ottoman Empire has indeed gone from bad to worse, becoming a "straw bag" bullied by the great powers.

▲ Russia invaded the Ottoman Empire.

By the end of the 19th century, Austria and Russia had turned the land of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans into their sphere of influence. Britain, France and Italy carved up the North African territory of the Ottoman Empire, and the weak Ottoman Empire really became a turkey in front of the big powers’ knives.

With the increasing influence of the west in the Ottoman Empire, the way that westerners equate "Turkey" with "Ottoman" also affected the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire began to accept the word "Turkey".

But until the end of 19th century, "Turkey" still had no meaning of modern nation or country. In the Ottoman Empire, "Turkey" has a certain derogatory meaning, usually referring to farmers in plateau mountainous areas.

The upper classes still call themselves "Ottomans" (Ottomans). The "Turkish" in the European and Ottoman populations do not refer to the same group of people.

▲ subjects of the empire

The great powers’ carve-up frenzy gave the Ottoman Empire a deep sense of crisis. From the end of 19th century to the beginning of 20th century, a "pan-Turkic" ideological trend rose in West Asia, advocating the union of turkic peoples and the leading role played by the Ottoman Empire in it, driving turkic peoples to become self-reliant, and Turkey began to become the representative of the Turkic nation.

This collided with another trend of thought at that time, "Ottomanism" (revitalizing the Ottoman Empire and highlighting Ottoman identity). Ottoman (Ottoman), Turkey (Turkey) and Islam (Islam) together constituted the identity of the empire.

In 1914, the Ottoman Empire put all its eggs in one basket and joined the First World War against the background of alliance with Germany and Austria. As a result, the Allied Group was defeated in World War I, and the Ottoman Empire was forced to sign the harsh Treaty of Sevres.

The Arab settlements controlled by the Ottoman Empire were ceded to Britain, France and other countries, and even the western part of Asia Minor Peninsula, where the main ethnic group Turks lived, was ceded to Greece.

▲ Autumn in Danger

The Ottoman Empire slipped to the brink of national subjugation, and young officers headed by Kemal organized a resistance struggle. Kemal said that "the independence of the Ottoman nation should be maintained".

During the war, there was a wave of referring to the country as "Turkey" in the Ottoman Empire. Amir Pasha, a government official, opposes the use of Turkey to address a country or a nation.

He said, "We have established the caliphate system in the name of Islam … We are not just gathered here in the name of Turks. It is more appropriate to say Muslims or even Ottomans than Turks. In our hometown, there are Caucasians, Chechens, Kurds and other Muslims. The use of Turkish appellations will exclude (these groups). "

▲ The Last Sultan of the Empire

After more than two years of life-and-death fighting, Kemal defeated the invading army headed by Greece and re-signed the fairly Lausanne Treaty with western countries. The core territory of the former Ottoman Empire was preserved, and the Turks became the absolute subject nation of the qualified new country. After the victory of the war, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire was expelled and the empire came to an end in 1922.

In order to make a thorough cut with the Ottoman Empire and break the state system of the integration of politics and religion that lasted for hundreds of years, Kemal initiated the secularization reform, and the importance of religion in social life decreased greatly. He argued that "Turkey" should be the name of the new country. "Turkey" has changed from a vague political term to the name of a country, but it is still written in Arabic characters during the Ottoman Empire.

▲ Kemal, who is honored as the father of Turkey.

During the secularization reform, Turkey established a representative democracy by learning from the West, Latin letters replaced the original Arabic writing system, and Türkiye ("Turkey" in Turkish) became a new way to write country names.

After the establishment of the brand-new Turkey, Turkey has developed into an important country in West Asia from the 20th century to the 21st century. By 2020, the country’s GDP totaled 720 billion US dollars, ranking 19th in the world and 1st in West Asia. The standing army of more than 600,000 makes Turkey a NATO country second only to the United States in terms of strength.

However, with the stagnant economic situation in Turkey in recent years, nationalism has begun to rise. Especially since the current Turkish President Erdogan took office in 2014, the strengthening of religious forces has also worried the outside world that Turkey will have a wave of "anti-secularization".

In addition, Turkey is also actively involved in the affairs of surrounding areas. Under the background of national strength, many Turks express their dissatisfaction with the English spelling of country names. How can the country name be associated with the food on the table? Moreover, this name has been ridiculed by the world from time to time, and serious country names should not be regarded as the object of playing tricks.

▲ The Turkish army entered Syria

In 2021, Turkey launched the English country name adjustment action. In January 2022, Erdogan signed a decree to change the English spelling of the name of Turkey from Turkey to Turkiye(Türkiye). Turkey has also launched a publicity and public relations campaign called "HelloTürkiye" on social networks and TV media at all costs.

▲ Renaming activities

In addition to adopting relevant resolutions at home, changing the English spelling of country names needs the cooperation of the international community. Turkish officials said that they would apply to the United Nations to urge the international community to accept new English names as soon as possible.

There are many precedents for changing foreign translation names, and most of the reasons are to erase colonial marks (for example, Ivory Coast is changed to C? te d ‘Ivoire); Promote national unity (for example, Myanmar has changed Burma with great Burmese color into Myanmar that can refer to all ethnic groups); Pronunciation in line with the national language (for example, South Korea changed Seoul to Seoul).

But like Turkey, the name is changed because the name is tied to poultry, but it is unique in the world.

However, modern Turkish is also spelled with Latin letters. The so-called change of English country name is only the transplantation of Turkish spelling into English. "Turkey" in English and "Türkiye" in Turkish actually sound almost the same, which is difficult to distinguish in spoken English. It also makes people suspect that renaming will not actually achieve results.

In the eyes of some people, Turkey’s change of English-speaking countries is more about service politics. At present, Turkey’s economy is in recession, the Turkish lira has depreciated sharply, and domestic inflation has risen sharply. The Turkish domestic opposition criticized Erdogan for "putting on a show" and accused him of using the name change to stir up national sentiment to divert people’s attention to the economic downturn and shift the accusation of his ineffective governance.

▲ In Turkey, money is becoming less and less valuable.

Supporters believe that it is necessary for Turkey to correct Türkiye’s name, and they praise the government for showing Turkish culture and values in the best way. After all, having the same name as "Turkey" is detrimental to the national image, and they think their country name should be respected.
