Special feature of 1905 film network The age sequence changes, and the Chinese chapter is new. As a sequel to the original 5 billion box office miracle, it has uncovered a new story for five years, and the number of people who want to see it on the online ticketing platform has exceeded 1 million, attracting the attention of countless viewers.

In this issue, Fei Jun, a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, is invited to come with us to look forward to the upcoming animated film "Nezha’s Devil Children Making a Sea" in the Spring Festival.

Decoding the image of Nezha from mural painting to animation.

In 2019, a Ne Zha exploded all summer, and the phrase "My life is up to me" brought the audience into the fate of Nezha. Fei Jun also said that it is still fresh in his memory, because Ne Zha broke many things.

The first is the breaking of the role-shaping. The first film about Nezha was made in Shanghai Animation Film Studio, so most of the audience have an inherent image of Nezha in their minds. However, the film Ne Zha was not bound by the traditional image, but created a naughty and rebellious image of Nezha.

Secondly, it is the break in the shaping of the character. In the film, Nezha shouted out the voice of "My life is up to me" for all the audience, showing the determination and energy to turn around my destiny and be my own hero.

In fact, the image of Nezha has changed a lot from the earliest murals to folk paintings, to The Journey to the West’s What makes the sea, The Legend of Nezha, and finally to the director’s Nezha series.

Today, from the perspective of historical evolution, Nezha’s image evolution, as the Prince of Pishamen in the earliest Dunhuang murals, was the protector of religious legends at that time, bearing a kind of majesty and making people feel awe; Later, The Romance of the Gods in the Ming Dynasty was China’s version of Nezha’s prototype, but it was still a deity with three heads and six arms.

What really gives Nezha a more humanized role and image is the 1979 film What’s the Sea, which is close to the image of a child; In the Nezha series directed by jiaozi, Nezha’s image is more and more vivid.

Generally speaking, from the earliest religious myth in history to today’s animated films, Nezha has experienced such a process from divinity to humanity.

A mixture of Chinese and western cultures creates a "world classic"

The aesthetic controversy about "Nezha Series" is not only the beauty and ugliness in characters, but also the style of "China and the West". You can often see the audience’s discussion about the westernization of the film image on the Internet, but you can also see the national wind elements such as the map of mountains and rivers and the golden dragon with five claws in the film. The mixed creation of Chinese and western elements has also triggered debates among netizens.

In this regard, Fei Jun said that hybridity itself is also a contemporary embodiment, because any classic is formed by breaking through the past tradition. The skills and techniques of animation do come from the west, but this does not mean that you can’t tell a unique story of the East in a worldwide language.

Director jiaozi once said in an interview that "we combine the traditional things of China to restore our history and legends, which is our own characteristic. But at the same time, the underlying technology we use is a three-dimensional software developed abroad. If art is to prosper, it is a process of colliding with each other and producing a new chemical reaction. "

In today’s society, our audience and creators can’t be narcissistic. It is a narrow cultural expression to exclude audiences from different cultures in pursuit of national traditions.

Cultural self-confidence refers to expressing excellent traditional culture in a language that people all over the world can understand, and in a way that everyone loves to see and hear at the moment.　

The warm family view meets the emotional needs of watching movies.

"Nezha’s Devil Children Making a Sea" not only upgraded its production in an all-round way, but also continued to innovate in the plot, adapting the well-known story "What makes a sea" into unexpected new ideas and bringing unexpected emotional experiences to the audience.

Compared with the tense relationship between Li Jing and Nezha in What’s Making a Sea, in the Nezha Series directed by jiaozi, we see a different father-son relationship.

Excavate is more like a father, and he is full of warmth in the face of choices. The story of "Nezha’s Devil Children Naughting the Sea" tells Chinese’s view of affection, which itself is the foundation of China culture and can touch everyone’s heart.

The description of parent-child relationship in "The Devil’s Child in Nezha" is not only for Nezha and Li Jing, but also for the family story between Ao Bing and Ao Guang. The "human touch" in the film plays a vital role in the influence and tension of the whole film.

Because the audience doesn’t need a simple story, instead, the emotional relationship between people becomes the highlight of the film, and what kind of effective relationship has been formed between people in the ups and downs of the plot.

Aesthetics is not about ugliness and beauty, nor is it simply about good and evil. It is not the relationship between black and white. The real aesthetic is the gray scale in the middle. Maybe the "ugly" character has a true, good and beautiful heart, while the "beautiful" character has a very ugly spirit.

It is precisely this kind of thing that breaks our normal aesthetic experience that constructs the core of aesthetics; The same is true of the relationship between characters, and these contradictions and conflicts just construct our inner emotional needs.

The green signboard at the intersection of S2 Lingang Toll Station is misleading. Photo by Wang Haiyan

Reporter Wang Haiyan

S2 Shanghai-Luchaogang Expressway (referred to as "Hulu Expressway") connects Shanghai urban area with Lingang New Area and Yangshan Port, and Lingang Toll Station is its terminal toll exit in Lingang New Area. Different from the general toll station, the port toll station of Hulu Expressway belongs to the diversion before the station, and the direction to Nanlu Highway and the port direction are diverted in front of the toll station. Many cars going to mud towns and heavy equipment industrial zones for the first time will miss the port direction if they are not careful.

"Driving from the urban area to the mud town, many people will take a wrong road at the toll station of Lingang Expressway. It is roughly estimated that the error rate of the first trip to the mud town and the heavy equipment industrial zone is 60%. " Zhang Yinbiao, deputy of the Municipal People’s Congress and secretary of the Party Committee of Mud Town, found that this toll station has a high probability of driving by mistake. Once you drive the wrong way, you will have to drive nearly 30 kilometers more.

The reporter drove to visit the site. When he arrived at the Lingang toll station, he did not take the exit of Nanlu Highway, but chose the exit in the direction of Lingang. After passing through the toll station, I saw that there was a cement isolation pier between the lanes of Nanlu Highway and Lingang, and then I drove forward, and there was no diversion exit ramp. In other words, the wrong driver has no chance to correct the diversion after the station. If you take the wrong exit, it will take almost half an hour to correct the error.

Zhang Yinbiao believes that there should be an opportunity for error correction after the vehicle station that mistakenly enters the direction of Mud Town. It is suggested that the continuous cement isolation pier on the left side of the station has a normal opening, which can be guided by the ground marking signs and indicator poles for safe guidance. Recently, his suggestion got the latest reply from the undertaking department.

Can the cement isolation pier of toll station be adjusted? The undertaking department explained that there are five toll stations in Hulu Expressway, including Lingang Toll Station and Nanlu Highway Toll Station in Lingang area, and the physical locations of the two toll stations are located in the same place. If the isolation pier at the back of the station is set with a constant opening, it does not meet the requirement of isolation between stations in the toll station setting rules. At the same time, the toll mileage of Lingang toll station and Nanlu highway toll station is different. The toll mileage of Lingang station goes to Shengang Avenue and Nanlu station goes to Nanlu station. If the isolation pier at the back of the station is set with a constant opening, the toll charging standards will be different, which will lead to the objection of passing customers. In addition, considering that the traffic of the toll station on the main line of Lingang is concentrated, if the isolation pier at the back of the station is provided with a constant opening, the frequent lane change and intersection of vehicles will easily lead to traffic accidents, which will have certain security risks.

Chengtou Group said that during driving, if you mistakenly drive into the toll station of Lingang main line, you can drive to the ramp of Lianggang Interchange to Tongshun Avenue and take the ground road; If you drive into the direction of Nanlu Highway by mistake, turn around at the intersection where the exit ramp meets Nanlu Highway, and you can re-drive into the direction of Donghai Bridge of S2 Hulu Expressway to your destination.

The reason why this crossing is easy to go wrong is that the sign is not clear enough. The reporter found that although there is a sign indicating the exit of Nanlu Highway near the toll station, and there is a ground sign 500 meters near the exit of Nanlu Highway, it is somewhat confusing. For example, 50 meters near the Lingang toll station, two green signs are erected on the right side of the road, marked "Lingang Service Area" on the right and "Nanlu Highway" on the left, which are covered by surrounding trees. Except for Nanlu Highway, there is no guide sign about "Mud Town" and "Heavy Equipment Industrial Zone". For those who go to Mud Town and Heavy Equipment Industrial Zone, they may confuse the directions of Lingang exit and Nanlu Highway exit.

Zhang Yinbiao suggested that the diversion prompt of the straight section in front of the station should be strengthened, and the continuous diversion prompt should be set up from the straight section after the intersection of S2 Ring Expressway, indicating the diversion direction of Mud Town, Nanlu Highway and Heavy Equipment Industrial Zone.

The traffic police department said that in view of the fact that some motor vehicle drivers still can’t identify lanes on demand, they have coordinated the high-speed maintenance unit to optimize the work plan and strengthen the instructions, that is, adding diversion warning signs and markings such as Mud Town, Nanlu Highway and Heavy Equipment Industrial Zone in front of the toll station, and simultaneously organizing the cleaning and greening to eliminate the phenomenon of greening blocking the signs.

Chengtou Group also said that for the suggestion of adding diversion tips such as mud town, Nanlu highway and heavy equipment industrial zone on the ground, professional design units have been entrusted to design the traffic guidance measures such as signs, and the company has arranged to clean up the situation that the greening of service areas and toll stations affects the identification of road markings and signs.

The traffic police department said that the next step will be to urge the high-speed maintenance unit to implement the diversion prompt scheme before the station as soon as possible, so as to facilitate motor vehicle drivers to identify lanes in advance and ensure safe and smooth traffic.

Regarding the representative’s suggestion on modifying and improving navigation tips, Chengtou Group said that the navigation path modification of related traffic navigation software will actively connect with navigation software vendors to improve the software functions.

　　CCTV News:Today, Wu Chungeng, spokesperson of the Ministry of Transport, introduced the latest progress in canceling the provincial toll stations of national expressways at the press conference. At present, the overall technical plan has been worked out, and the Implementation Plan for Deepening the Reform of Toll Road System and Cancelling Provincial Toll Stations of Expressway has been studied and drafted. The opinions of relevant ministries and commissions, provincial people’s governments and their transportation authorities, expressway management units, highway transportation enterprises and industry associations have been solicited, and they are being submitted for approval according to procedures. Recently, the Standing Committee of the State Council will deliberate on the topic, and after it is approved, the Ministry of Transport will organize a special policy briefing for detailed introduction.

　　To cancel the provincial toll station of expressway, it is necessary to reconstruct the management system, mechanism and charging method of expressway toll, and to complete a lot of work such as engineering construction, policy optimization, adjustment and unification, operation and service upgrade, etc., which is short of time and heavy task, involving a wide range and complicated situation. The full coverage of ETC electronic toll collection is the key factor to successfully cancel the provincial toll stations of national expressways. If the vehicles running on the expressway can’t achieve the full coverage of ETC and ensure that they can pass through the toll gate quickly, after the provincial toll station of the expressway is cancelled, the vehicles will gather in front of the exit toll station, which will inevitably lead to the rapid concentration of vehicles at the exit toll station and form new congestion points. At present, the use of ETC in the country is not popular enough. Therefore, the most urgent task at present is to vigorously popularize ETC and carry out the construction and transformation of ETC portal system in toll lanes.

　　In the next step, the Ministry of Transport will, in accordance with the deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council and the overall work arrangement, issue the Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application of Non-stop Toll Collection as soon as possible, study the supporting preferential policies for accelerating the installation of ETC on-board terminals, organize special actions to promote ETC services, guide all localities to accelerate the development of ETC, accelerate the construction of various projects, ensure the completion of the target and task of canceling provincial toll stations on expressways nationwide on schedule, and continuously enhance people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security.

　　Wu Chungeng suggested that in order to realize the smooth flow of the expressway, the majority of car owners and users should take the initiative to install ETC in time to jointly realize the non-stop express service. (CCTV reporter Tang Ying)

　　　　Lin Wutong, the king of Malaysian gambling, died at the age of 90

　　　　At 11: 20 am local time on October 23. His gambling table, stop turning.

　　　　Lin Wutong, the Malaysian gambling king and the founder of Genting Group, who is famous for his self-made, died at the Subangyue Specialized Medical Center in Seju at the age of 90.

　　　　Lin Wutong’s impression on most people is inseparable from Genting, which he founded. Genting obtained the first casino license in Malaysia during the tenure of the first Malaysian Prime Minister Rahman, and it is still the only casino license in Malaysia.

　　　　What is even more talked about is that Lin Wutong was born in mediocrity, but he kept fighting diligently.

　　　　Lin Wutong, with a net worth of $4.3 billion, was the founder of Genting Group and its affiliated scenic spots world, and became the chairman of Genting until he retired in 2003, when his second son, Tan Sri Lin Guotai, took over his business kingdom. Lin is also one of the four biggest gambling kings in Asia.

　　　　Go to Malaysia

　　　　Lin Wutong was born in Anxi, Fujian Province in 1918. His father died at the age of 16. As the oldest man in the family, he was forced to drop out of school and take on the heavy responsibility of supporting a family of seven. Because his father was a cook before his death, Lin Wutong started selling vegetables. After two years of hard work, he paid off the debts his father owed before his death.

　　　　Because of bandits in his hometown, Lin Wutong gave up his business and worked as a carpenter for two years. After the situation became more severe, he decided to go to Kuala Lumpur alone to make a living, having two uncles in Nanyang. He was 19 years old at that time. That year, the Japanese invaded China.

　　　　In his autobiography "My Story", Lin Wutong described himself carrying a small suitcase and only $175 to Nanyang, and came to a place called "Malaya" at that time.

　　　　After arriving in Kuala Lumpur, after working for his fourth uncle for two years, Lin Wutong began to try to do construction contracting business independently. The first business was to build a two-story school by second-hand contracting. As the Sino-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way, Lin Wutong ventured back to his hometown and became a carpenter. However, after the war turned sharply, Lin Wutong bid farewell to his family and returned to Malaysia.

　　　　After the Japanese surrendered, Malaysia was rebuilt, and Lin Wutong seized the opportunity to show his talents. At that time, the British troops involved in the reconstruction brought a large number of the latest machinery such as cranes, bulldozers and concrete mixers to Malaysia. After the project was completed, these machinery were sold to the people by way of bidding. Lin Wutong seized the business opportunity, ran around, bid everywhere, bought a lot of old machinery, and then resold it at two or three times the price after renovation, because tin mines and rubber plantations abandoned in wartime reopened one after another, and the business was surprisingly good.

　　　　Lin Wutong’s first bucket of gold was iron mining. In 1953, Lin Wutong sold two mud machines to an iron ore company, and the company’s major shareholder suggested that he invest as a shareholder because of poor capital turnover. After investigation, Lin Wutong found that it contained abundant resources, so it adopted suggestions and made additional investment to become the largest shareholder of the iron ore company.

　　　　Later, this iron mine made an annual profit of 3 million ringgit in the first two years, and in a few years, it earned a total of more than 50 million ringgit.

　　　　Yangming construction industry

　　　　In the early 1950s, Lin Wutong set up its own engineering company, Jianfa Co., Ltd., using the machinery found when making old machinery, and successfully completed several government projects. Moreover, it became an A-level contractor because it completed a challenging project that even a famous British company gave up, and got a pass to undertake public projects of any scale.

　　　　Since then, Lin Wutong has become one of the best construction contractors in Malaysia by developing the famous Yayi Freshwater Dam project in Malaysian architectural history.

　　　　During this period, Lin Wutong also got to know Luo Wenxiu, who is both a Chinese and a famous entrepreneur, and therefore entered the banking industry and participated in the establishment of the first bank in Penang, Malaysia-Southern Bank.

　　　　March into genting

　　　　While actively developing the construction industry, Lin Wutong is still developing an idea that will shake the world. He wants to build a world-famous paradise. This is today’s world-class tourist destination-Genting. This is also Lin Wutong’s most cherished and loving career in his life.

　　　　Today, Genting is not only a world-famous plateau tourist resort, but also has the only legal casino in Malaysia, attracting many domestic and foreign tourists every year. At the same time, Lin Wutong has also become one of the four largest gambling kings in Asia, with Eric? Ye Han and Tian Paradise are equally famous.

　　　　Lin Wutong’s enterprise kingdom also includes cruise ships, planting, power plants, paper mills and so on. Malaysian listed companies controlled by the Lin family include Genting, ResortWorld and Asiatic Planting.

　　　　Lin Wutong’s vast enterprise kingdom has also accumulated a lot of wealth for him, making him ranked third in the latest Forbes list of Malaysian rich people, with a wealth of 4.3 billion US dollars.

　　　　Sleeping forever

　　　　"He died peacefully in his sleep," said JustinLeong, grandson of Lin Wutong and head of strategic investment department of Genting Group.

　　　　Malaysian Prime Minister Badawi immediately expressed condolences to the Lins after being informed. He said: "The unfortunate death of Lin Wutong is not only a loss for the country, but also a great loss for the business community!"

　　　　According to local media reports, after the news of Lin Wutong’s death came out, the share prices of three listed companies under GENTING Group, namely Genting (3182, Main Board Trade Service Group), RESORTS (4715, Main Board Trade Service Group) and Asia Development (ASI－ATIC, 2291, Main Board Planting Group), were not affected.

After Ningbo, Kunming, Maoming and other places, another petrochemical project was opposed by "public opinion" and faced with dismounting.

On May 10, 2016, in the turbulent opposition of citizens, the Longkou Municipal Government of Shandong Province stopped the environmental impact assessment of a large petrochemical industrial park project jointly invested with Singapore. The Public Security Bureau of Longkou City, Shandong Province issued notices on May 10th and 11th, and the environmental assessment and demonstration work of Yulong Petrochemical Industrial Base stopped. Please ask the masses not to continue gathering, not to believe or spread rumors. Police said on the 11th that some people still instigate, plan, organize and participate in illegal assemblies, processions and demonstrations.

On May 4th, according to the relevant provisions of the national environmental protection laws and regulations, Longkou Environmental Protection Bureau made the first EIA announcement on the overall development plan of Longkou Yulong Petrochemical Industrial Base. This EIA publicity is the legal pre-stage of the EIA approval of the project planning, and its purpose is to solicit opinions and suggestions from the general public.

According to the public notice, Yulong Petrochemical Industrial Base is located in the west of Longkou City, with a total planned area of about 50.4 square kilometers. It is planned to build 40 million tons of oil refining, 2.2 million tons of ethylene, 6 million tons of aromatic hydrocarbons and its middle and lower reaches industrial chain projects, which will be implemented in stages.

Location map of Yulong petrochemical industrial base

At present, in the process of publicity, some Longkou citizens have doubts about the safety and environmental protection of the overall development plan of the base, and they are worried about the potential environmental impact of this petrochemical project on human health and reflect it through various channels.

Yulong Petrochemical Industrial Base is a cooperative project between Nanshan Group in China and Jurong International in Singapore. In June 2014, the two sides signed a memorandum of cooperation, and planned to learn from Singapore’s experience in establishing a petrochemical industrial park on Jurong Island, which was artificially reclaimed from the sea, to build a petrochemical industrial base in Bohai Bay, China. Song Jianbo, chairman of Nanshan Group, once told the media that the construction of Yulong Island should be in line with international first-class standards.

Jurong Island in Singapore is the third largest oil refining center in the world, located off the southwest coast of Singapore, only 5 kilometers away from the main city of Singapore. The distance between ExxonMobil’s 370,000-ton/year PX plant and residential areas on the island is less than 1 kilometer. Because it has never had a major pollution accident, it is called a great example of "chemical industry can coexist with blue sky and blue sea"

On the morning of May 10, 2016, some Longkou citizens gathered in front of the municipal government, calling on the government to stop launching this project and return the citizens to "blue sea and blue sky". "The government’s lack of public information about the project makes it impossible for us to have a deeper understanding of the project itself. But what we clearly know is that in recent ten years, the environment in Longkou has gone from bad to worse, and it is almost unsuitable for survival. " In a proposal, Longkou citizens wrote.

Faced with pressure, in the afternoon, the Longkou Municipal Government issued a reply to the environmental impact assessment publicity of Longkou Yulong Petrochemical Industrial Base Project in official website, saying, "According to the opinions and suggestions of the masses during the publicity period, the municipal government decided to stop the environmental assessment and demonstration work."

The Longkou Municipal Government also stressed that the petrochemical project is now in the stage of planning and demonstration. The purpose of the previous EIA publicity was to solicit opinions and suggestions from the general public on the plan, but no final decision was made.

"In the near future, we will carefully analyze and sort out the opinions and suggestions collected from different channels and truthfully feedback them to the report preparation unit. In response to the environmental assessment of the overall development plan, we will review and check in strict accordance with relevant national laws and regulations, and earnestly perform our environmental protection duties. If the environmental assessment link fails to meet the requirements, we will resolutely not promote it. " The Longkou Municipal Government wrote in another announcement.

On the same day, Longkou Public Security Bureau also issued a notice on prohibiting illegal assembly, procession and demonstration: On May 10th, Longkou Municipal People’s Government and Longkou Public Security Bureau successively issued an announcement and a notice on the issue of Yulong Petrochemical Industrial Base. But up to now, some people still incite, plan, organize and participate in illegal assemblies, processions and demonstrations.

According to the notice, on the morning of May 10th, the Longkou Municipal People’s Government has studied and decided and issued an announcement, and the environmental assessment and demonstration work of Yulong Petrochemical Industrial Base has stopped. In order to ensure the safety of life and property of the country and the people and maintain the normal order of work, production and life, the masses are requested not to continue to gather, not to believe in rumors and not to spread rumors. If you don’t listen to advice, continue to illegally organize, participate in or incite organizations, participate in assemblies, processions and demonstrations through mobile phones, the Internet, etc., the public security organs will deal with them in strict accordance with the provisions of the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Assemblies, Processions and Demonstrations and the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), and severely crack down on illegal and criminal acts. At the same time, please ask the broad masses of people to consciously resist illegal assemblies, processions, demonstrations and other acts, take the initiative to report illegal and criminal activities to the public security organs, and jointly safeguard the harmony and stability of Longkou society.

On May 11th, Longkou Public Security Bureau issued a second notice with severe wording.

According to the law, the environmental impact assessment of new projects must be completed before the project is started. The construction and development activities that may affect the environment should be investigated, predicted and evaluated in advance, and a report on the environmental impact and prevention plan should be put forward. The construction can only be carried out after the approval of the competent department. The municipal government’s call to stop the EIA work means that this petrochemical project will also stagnate in theory.

According to a Longkou citizen interviewed by Caixin reporter, "At present, Longkou has been polluted by titanium dioxide and oil shale, so it is uninhabitable. This street trip is an outbreak of contradictions to a certain extent." She said that in the case that the old environmental problems have not been properly solved, it is difficult for Longkou citizens to tolerate a petrochemical project that may bring greater harm and threat. She believes that in recent years, there are more and more people suffering from leukemia among Longkou citizens, and some communities have become cancer communities, which are closely related to environmental pollution.

The announcement of the Longkou Municipal Government also promised to the public that the environmental problems in Longkou City will be intensified. "If the production is stopped, the ban will be banned."

Expert: Game between Petrochemical Industry and Real Estate Industry

Qu Ruijing, a senior expert of China Circular Economy Association and a senior researcher in the chemical industry, believes that the site selection and planned equipment of the project in Longkou Petrochemical Industrial Park have the conditions to minimize the impact of the people, but it is debatable that the local government hastily stopped the EIA demonstration work in the face of public opposition. The domestic demand for petrochemical industry is still high. Qu Ruijing introduced that in 2015, China’s imports of PX products reached one-fifth of the global production capacity, taking PX-p-xylene, which once caused strong neighborhood feelings, as an example, and the domestic production capacity of PX was seriously insufficient.

"Longkou’s environmental problems are problems left over from history and have little to do with the current project establishment. However, the petrochemical projects in our country have now entered a misunderstanding, not only because of people’s worries about environmental hazards, but also because of the game between the petrochemical industry and the real estate industry. " Qu Ruijing told reporters.

　　On August 17th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee meeting of the CPC and delivered an important speech. The meeting conducted research and deployment on flood control, flood relief and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, emphasizing that "all relevant regions, departments and units should always tighten the string of flood control and disaster relief, and always put the safety of people’s lives and property first, with ‘ Always uneasy ’ A sense of responsibility, be careful to do a good job in flood control, flood control and disaster relief. "

　　"Seven falls and eight rises" is the key period of flood control in China. Recently, disasters such as rainstorms, floods and typhoons are still high in many places across the country, and there are still risks of floods in some river basins. See the responsibility at the critical moment. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, Party committees, governments and relevant departments at all levels have made every effort to fight the tough battles of flood control and emergency rescue and the protection of the affected people, and the struggle for flood control, flood control and disaster relief has achieved major milestones.

　　Based on "people", all measures fully consider the "people" factor, and pay close attention to all the work of flood control and disaster prevention. We must always insist that the interests of the people are above everything else, always think about problems and make decisions from the standpoint of the people, and fight a prepared and sure initiative. On the one hand, highlight the key points of defense, continue to carry out investigation and rectification of hidden dangers, especially focus on the key parts and weak links of defense, do a good job in avoiding risks, and minimize casualties and disaster losses. At the same time, adhere to the "two-handed grasp" and "two-handed hard" of flood control and disaster relief. Properly resettle the lives of the affected people, increase the investment of disaster relief funds and materials, ensure the service of centralized resettlement sites in detail, effectively protect the basic living needs of the people such as food, accommodation and medical treatment, sincerely care for and properly resettle the affected people, and restore production and living order as soon as possible.

　　Give priority to "defense", play a good first move and play an active battle. More preparations for flood control, more careful investigation of potential safety hazards, and better security for the masses. Further improve the ability of "prevention", do a good job of "preparation", and constantly strengthen the risk awareness with the mentality of "I would rather prevent ten and nine empty, but I can’t fail to prevent it in case" and "I would rather prepare instead of using it, and I can’t use it without preparation", scientifically predict all kinds of disaster risks that may occur during the flood season, and always be on high alert. At the same time, only by doing all kinds of plans well and doing all the basic work well can we grasp the initiative and win the initiative. By strengthening the real-time monitoring of rain, water and mountain flood disaster risks, strengthening emergency treatment and making emergency plans, we can ensure that materials, personnel and measures for flood control and flood fighting are fully prepared, and we can be more sensitive to flood situations, win the opportunity for flood control and disaster relief, and truly realize early detection, early disposal and early resolution of potential risks.

　　Flood control work is related to the safety of people’s lives, and there is no room for paralysis and slack. Flood not only tests the disaster prevention and relief system and emergency response ability of all levels and departments, but also tests the feelings and responsibilities of party member cadres at all levels for the people. Party organizations at all levels should give full play to their strong leadership role, cadres at all levels should give full play to their exemplary role, and the vast number of party member should give full play to their vanguard and exemplary role, charging ahead, taking the lead, taking the initiative and taking the lead, maintaining the sense of responsibility of "always worrying about it" and the sense of urgency that every second counts, and earnestly guarding the soil with responsibility, responsibility and responsibility. Early warning before flood, investigation of potential risks, command and dispatch during flood control, transfer and resettlement of affected people, etc., all links and tasks need to be compacted. It is believed that the iron wall of flood control can be built by compacting the responsibility of flood control and disaster prevention in the feelings of planting for the people and grasping the various flood control and disaster relief measures.

Recently, the North China Environmental Protection Supervision Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, together with the Environmental Protection Department of Henan Province, gave feedback to the Xinxiang Municipal Government on the comprehensive supervision of atmospheric and water environmental management in Xinxiang City. The main leaders and in-charge leaders of Xinxiang Municipal Government, the main leaders of counties (cities, districts) governments and relevant departments and relevant personnel attended the feedback meeting. In order to implement the new Environmental Protection Law, promote the implementation of the Air Prevention Action Plan and the Water Pollution Prevention Action Plan, and strengthen the government’s environmental responsibility, according to the work deployment, the North China Environmental Protection Supervision Center and the Henan Provincial Environmental Protection Department conducted a comprehensive supervision on the air and water environment management in Xinxiang City from March to April this year. Adhering to the problem orientation, the inspection team made a comprehensive analysis of Xinxiang’s environmental protection, especially the prevention and control of air and water pollution, through unannounced visits, thorough inspection and verification, on-site inspection, visiting departments, consulting materials and accepting reports.

The inspector believes that in recent years, Xinxiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have paid equal attention to development and protection, constantly strengthened the working mechanism of environmental protection, and improved the assessment system of environmental protection targets. After years of efforts, the city’s industrial structure has been optimized, and the environmental protection management of key industries, the demolition and reform of coal-fired boilers, and the elimination of yellow-label vehicles have been steadily promoted, and positive progress has been made in urban environmental construction, upgrading of traditional industries, and creation of ecological demonstration. Since the implementation of the new environmental protection law, the enforcement of environmental supervision has obviously increased.

The inspector pointed out that although Xinxiang has made positive progress in environmental protection, the problems are still outstanding and the situation is not optimistic from the current situation of environmental quality in the city.

Environmental problems are prominent, and pressure transmission is weak.

First, the quality of the city’s air and water environment is not optimistic. In 2015, the annual average concentration of PM10 in Xinxiang was 158 μ g/m.

^three

The average concentration of PM2.5 is 94 μ g/m.

^three

, the number of days to reach the standard is 147 days, and the rate of reaching the standard is 40.3%.The annual average increase of PM10 and PM2.5 is the first in 18 cities in the province.In the past two years, the annual work objectives and tasks set by the Blue Sky Project have not been completed, and in 2015, the atmospheric environmental indicators did not fall but rose, showing a deteriorating trend. In 2015,The compliance rate of the target section of surface water environmental quality responsibility in the city is 60.4%., did not reach the provincial target of not less than 80%. The compliance rate of the assessment section in Haihe River Basin is even lower. The annual compliance rate of the Xiamaying section of the communist canal Weihui is only 33.3%, and the compliance rate of the Weihe Weihui Huangfu section is only 8.3%.

Second, departmental linkage and pressure transmission are weak.Xinxiang’s environmental protection work mechanism is imperfect, the responsibilities of departments are unclear, the pressure transmission is not in place, and the assessment accountability is not implemented.The city’s loose burning coal base is unclear, the pollution situation is unknown, and there is a lack of basic control measures; The investigation of black and odorous water bodies is not in place, and effective pollution interception and control measures have not been formulated and taken; Groundwater quality and water pollution control also have problems such as unclear departmental responsibilities and poor coordination and promotion; The pollution control of livestock and poultry breeding, the ban on burning straw and garbage, etc. all exist the phenomenon of buck passing between departments. Grass-roots governments have not obviously felt the pressure, and some grass-roots governments and relevant departments have copied the plans of their superiors when formulating the "three major projects".

Third, the environmental problems of industries and industrial clusters are outstanding. The industries with high energy consumption and high pollution in Xinxiang account for a large proportion, and the layout is not reasonable. The industries with high energy consumption and high pollution, such as cement, chemical industry, papermaking and pharmacy, are concentrated, and their production capacity and output rank among the top in the province. The environmental problems in industrial clusters are outstanding. Among the 12 provincial-level industrial clusters in the city, 6 industrial clusters such as fengqiu county and Yuanyang County failed to pass the planning environmental assessment, 9 industrial clusters such as Xindong and Huixian County failed to achieve central heating, and the sewage treatment plants in two industrial clusters failed to be built as required. Although the industrial wastewater in three industrial clusters entered the sewage treatment plants for treatment, the sewage treatment plants exceeded the standard for a long time.

Fourth, the key work of air pollution prevention and control has not been implemented enough. The total coal consumption is not well controlled, and the consumption is still increasing year by year. In 2015, coal accounted for 77.9% of the total energy consumption in the city. The coal quality is not optimistic. In December 2015, the unqualified rate of total sulfur and volatile matter in commercial coal (briquette) was 30%, and the unqualified rate of total sulfur in coal-fired enterprises was 19%. The control of dust pollution is weak, and most construction sites have not implemented the "six 100%" requirements; The problem of road dust is prominent, and there are many large-scale heavy-duty vehicles pulling sand and gravel in the urban ring road and National Highway 107, and most of them have not taken dust prevention measures such as covering; There is a serious shortage of mechanical scanning vehicles in urban areas, and the mechanical scanning rate of urban main roads is far below the 80% target set by the implementation plan of Xinxiang Blue Sky Project. There is a risk of rebound in straw burning, and the control of waste incineration in the city is not strict; There are many problems in oil quality and oil and gas recovery. Ten private gas stations sampled and tested gasoline, and many found unqualified oil products.

Fifth, water pollution control has a long way to go. Xinxiang’s industries such as medicine, paper-making, chemical fiber, chemical industry, wine and beverage, food processing and textile account for about 80% of the city’s industrial water pollution emissions every year. The problem of direct sewage discharge is still common. The coverage rate of sewage pipe network in the city is about 70%, and about 150,000 tons of industrial wastewater and domestic sewage are directly discharged into rivers every day. Xinxiang City has built 14 sewage treatment plants, and 4 of them have not been put into operation. Among the 10 sewage treatment plants in operation, two sewage treatment plants have insufficient water collection and cannot operate normally; The two sewage treatment plants have been overloaded for a long time, and there are often problems of excessive discharge and sewage overflow; The two sewage treatment plants discharge about 170,000 tons of wastewater exceeding the standard every day because they accept high-concentration industrial wastewater. The environmental problems of livestock and poultry breeding are not optimistic, and more than 300 large-scale farms (communities) have no pollution prevention facilities; However, non-large-scale livestock and poultry farmers generally have not built supporting pollution prevention facilities, and the pollution situation is outstanding.

Sixth, the construction of environmental infrastructure is seriously lagging behind. The construction of sewage treatment planning projects is slow. Of the 18 projects required to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2015 in Henan Province, 12 projects have not been completed. The urban central heating rate is low. According to the calculation, the urban central heating rate is less than 20%, which brings great challenges to air pollution control in winter. The operation and management of domestic waste landfill is not standardized. There are some problems in 8 domestic waste landfills in Xinxiang city, such as irregular landfill, abnormal operation of leachate treatment facilities, and failure to timely check and accept.

Seventh, some enterprises have repeatedly banned environmental violations and violations. There is fraud in boiler modification of Huaxing Pharmaceutical Factory in Xinxiang, Henan Province; The supporting desulfurization facilities of No.1 boiler in the enterprise are not operating normally; No.4 75t/h boiler has no environmental protection procedures, and the desulfurization and denitrification facilities operate illegally. Henan Li Gu Special Cement Co., Ltd. resumed production without authorization after being punished by Henan Provincial Environmental Protection Department and stopped production for rectification, and caused pollution to the surrounding atmospheric environment. The inspection also found that Xinxiang Jujing Chemical Co., Ltd., Huojia Dongzhangju New Wall Building Materials Factory, Xinxiang Huazhong Cement Co., Ltd., Yanjin Satellite Environmental Protection New Building Materials Co., Ltd., Xinxiang Xintailong Wood Industry Co., Ltd. and Huarui Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. have problems such as abnormal operation of pollution prevention facilities and illegal production.

Strengthen pressure transmission and strengthen problem rectification.

In response to the above problems, the inspection team requested that Xinxiang City should conscientiously do a good job in rectifying the feedback from comprehensive inspections. The rectification plan should be submitted to the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Henan Provincial Government within 20 working days, and the rectification plan should be "checked, assessed and accountable". In promoting the rectification work, we should further unify our thinking, strengthen pressure transmission, strictly implement the requirements of the Environmental Protection Law and the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Strengthening Environmental Supervision and Law Enforcement, and resolutely promote the new normal of environmental law-abiding.

At the feedback meeting, the Environmental Protection Department of Henan Province stressed: First, it is necessary to recognize the current grim situation, earnestly enhance the sense of urgency and responsibility in environmental protection work, and deeply understand the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on ecological civilization construction and the firm determination to strengthen environmental protection work. Xinxiang city should draw inferences from others, comprehensively sort out the outstanding problems that restrict the improvement of environmental quality, firmly seize the major opportunities currently facing, and make overall plans to promote a win-win situation for environmental protection and economy. Second, it is necessary to highlight key areas, pay close attention to the rectification and implementation of outstanding environmental problems, keep a close eye on the objectives, implement responsibilities, ensure the completion of the objectives and tasks assigned by Henan Province’s "Blue Sky Project Implementation Plan", do a good job in comprehensively improving the water environment, strengthen the centralized rectification of industrial clusters and industrial parks, severely crack down on outstanding environmental violations, and strengthen the construction of environmental monitoring networks. Third, it is necessary to strengthen the "four responsibilities", build a general pattern of environmental protection under the leadership of party committees, government responsibility, departmental cooperation and social co-governance, and strengthen the leadership responsibilities of party committees and governments, which should be strictly implemented in accordance with the clear requirements of the central government on environmental protection "Party and government share the same responsibility and one post and two responsibilities"; Clarify the "three management and three necessities" responsibilities of relevant departments, strictly enforce the unified supervision responsibility of environmental protection, and implement the responsibility of pollutant discharge units to abide by the law.

Finally, Wang Dengxi, acting mayor of Xinxiang Municipal People’s Government, stated that Xinxiang City will take this feedback meeting as an opportunity, focus on the feedback from the supervision team and all relevant requirements, do its best to implement all the work, and vigorously promote the continuous improvement of the environmental situation. We should further improve our ideological understanding, strengthen the rectification of problems, address both the symptoms and the root causes, and be stricter in asking questions and accountability. Xinxiang City will firmly establish the concept of green development, fully implement the environmental protection principle of "Party and government share responsibility, double responsibility for one post and accountability for dereliction of duty", strengthen environmental protection with stricter measures, greater efforts and higher standards, and continuously improve environmental quality.

The "nucleic acid fever" in various places has subsided, and many places have clearly stated that normalized nucleic acid testing will be cancelled!

Since the Omicron epidemic swept through, normalized nucleic acid detection has become a standard in major cities.

In May this year, the relevant person in charge of National Health Commission said that a "sampling circle" of nucleic acid was established in big cities, and Henan even took the lead in announcing the implementation of 48-hour nucleic acid in the whole province.

However, recently, this high frequency, high investment and strict defense detection mode has been somewhat loose. According to media reports, in recent days, many places across the country have adjusted their epidemic prevention and control policies, canceled the normalized nucleic acid detection mechanism or canceled the inspection of nucleic acid certificates.

In the future, will we slowly bid farewell to the life of 48 or 72 hours of nucleic acid "continuation"?

No.1

8 explicitly cancel the normalization of nucleic acid detection.

"nucleic acid detection fever" began to cool down

Recently, the national nucleic acid testing fever has begun to "cool down", and normalized nucleic acid testing has been cancelled in many places. Some areas have now made it clear that normalized nucleic acid testing will be cancelled. The details are as follows:

Dezhou City, Shandong Province: On June 15th, Dezhou City, Shandong Province issued the Notice on Adjusting the Policy of Epidemic Prevention and Control, and the people in theaters no longer required the "48-hour nucleic acid test certificate".

Tongzhou bay Demonstration Zone, Jiangsu Province: On June 14th, the Joint Prevention and Control Command of COVID-19 Epidemic in tongzhou bay Demonstration Zone, Jiangsu Province announced that the routine inspection of regional nucleic acid detection would be suspended from June 14th.

Jixi County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province: According to the notice of the Office of COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters in Jixi County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province on June 13, in view of the fact that Jixi County is a low-risk area in the whole country, the nucleic acid detection work of "all-staff nucleic acid rotation inspection every 7 days" will be cancelled on June 14.

Huangshan High-tech Zone, Anhui Province: Prevention and Control of COVID-19 Epidemic in Huangshan High-tech Zone, Anhui Province. The notice of emergency headquarters on June 13th mentioned that due to the fact that the whole high-tech zone is a low-risk zone, the regional nucleic acid detection scheduled to be carried out every Thursday was cancelled, and the nucleic acid detection of key populations should continue to be carried out according to the prevention and control requirements.

Shexian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province: Prevention and Control of COVID-19 Epidemic in Shexian County, Huangshan City, emergency headquarters also announced that the regional nucleic acid detection scheduled for June 13-14 was cancelled due to the low risk in Shexian County.

Hai ‘an, Jiangsu Province: According to the news of WeChat "Hai ‘an Release" on June 12, from June 13, Hai ‘an City, Jiangsu Province will suspend the normalization inspection of regional nucleic acid detection.

Huangshan Scenic Area, Anhui Province: On June 11th, emergency headquarters, an epidemic prevention and control center in Huangshan Scenic Area, Anhui Province, issued a notice. In view of the low risk of the whole area, the regional nucleic acid detection scheduled for Monday and Tuesday was cancelled.

Huizhou, Guangdong: According to the report of WeChat "Huizhou TV Station", starting from June 10, according to the work arrangements of the relevant departments of epidemic prevention and control in the city, Huizhou airport, railway station and bus station are no longer required to hold 48-hour negative proof of nucleic acid test.

No.2

National Health Commission: Checking nucleic acids should not become the norm.

"If there is no epidemic and there is no risk of input, it should not be a normal state to check nucleic acids." He Qinghua, the first-class inspector of National Health Commission CDC, clearly pointed out at the press conference of joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council on June 9th that there is no need for frequent nucleic acid testing in low-risk areas and low-risk people, and the focus of nucleic acid testing should be on high-risk people and staff in high-risk positions, as well as areas with epidemic situation.

At the same time, the corrective action for normalized nucleic acid detection has never stopped. Recently, the number of new infections in Beijing increased sharply due to the cluster epidemic of "Paradise Bar". On June 15th, at the 366th press conference of novel coronavirus epidemic prevention and control work in Beijing, Xu Hejian, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, spokesman of the municipal government and director of the municipal government information office, introduced that social prevention and control should be strictly and tightly carried out. Carry out high-quality nucleic acid screening, screen all the staff in key epidemic-related areas and towns with cases, find out the personnel base, strengthen organization and mobilization and information comparison, and ensure full coverage. Continue to do a good job in the normalization of nucleic acid testing in key industries and key populations, so as to ensure that all inspections should be completed.

According to relevant media reports, although large-scale nucleic acid testing is inevitable in the form of epidemic rebound, according to the characteristics of this epidemic, Beijing has specially positioned the people who should be inspected in key industries and key populations, which will minimize the impact of nucleic acid testing on the daily operation of the city to the greatest extent, and at the same time, accurately positioning the population will also reduce the workload for epidemic prevention workers, and ensure the personal rights and interests of medical staff to the greatest extent when emergencies come.

No.3

Optimization and Reform under Normalized Nucleic Acid

Free medical staff from nucleic acid testing!

Recently, National Health Commission issued two documents, namely, Guidelines for Preventing and Controlling Epidemic in novel coronavirus (hereinafter referred to as "Guidelines") and Notice on Further Strengthening the Quality Management of Nucleic Acid Sampling in Covid-19 (hereinafter referred to as "Notice"), to standardize the nucleic acid detection of epidemic prevention personnel and protect the personal rights and interests of medical staff.

The "Work Guide" requires further efforts to prevent heatstroke and labor protection for epidemic prevention and control personnel to prevent high temperature heatstroke. Many of them are equipped with heatstroke prevention drugs and drinks for epidemic prevention personnel; Reasonable control of high temperature operation time; Special people are not allowed to engage in intimate measures such as high-temperature operations (detailed report on one-click direct access).

The "Notice" clearly requires that "the deployment and use of sampling personnel should not crowd out normal medical resources as much as possible to ensure the people’s demand for medical treatment", and further free medical staff from nucleic acid testing (one-click direct report in detail).

Insiders pointed out that how to carry out nucleic acid testing, whether it needs normalization and where large-scale nucleic acid is needed, in the three-year epidemic experience, the government and the people have the answers in their hearts, and the process of the government’s continuous optimization of policies and measures is the process of correcting and improving, which takes some time.

At the same time, some people said that the question of who will do the nucleic acid testing is worthy of further discussion and analysis. In the process of round after round of epidemic rebound, the hard work of medical staff is in everyone’s eyes, but in the face of the frequent occurrence of "lightning storms" in testing institutions, the issue of opening up the market access for nucleic acid testing will be pushed to the forefront of public opinion. How to carry out the task of nucleic acid testing "treating both the symptoms and the root causes" needs in-depth research and discussion in many aspects.
