Non-legacy iron flower stunning appearance in Haining

  Zhejiang Online August 15th (Sharing Alliance Haining Li Mengxia Wang Zheneng)Under the starry sky beside the seawall, the iron juice at 1600°C was thrown high by the craftsmen and scattered into the air with wooden boards, and the silver flowers of the iron tree fell and the stars blossomed … On the evening of August 12, an intangible "iron flower" performance was performed in Baishitai Square of Guanchao Resort Park in Haining Yanguan Tourist Resort, which attracted bursts of applause.

  It is reported that this is one of the summer night tour activities series of "Yan Guan stayed up all night, wonderful summer", and the invited craftsmen presented two performances of "striking iron flowers" every hour. At 6 o’clock that night, many citizens had gathered in Baishitai Square, and many photographers also set up tripods and adjusted their cameras. Three blacksmiths were nervously making preparations.

  As a cultural phenomenon with regional characteristics, the flower while the iron is hot originated from the early bronze casting process. With the development of the times, "Tie Tie Hua" has gradually evolved into a unique folk art form and has been widely used in various celebrations and religious ceremonies. Nowadays, while the iron is hot, the flower has become an intangible cultural heritage, and the splendor of the "Silver Flower of the Fire Tree" is also a Chinese-style romance.

  At 7: 10 that night, with the cheers of the audience rising gradually, the first performance officially began. I saw the craftsmen hit the molten iron at high temperature into the air with special tools, and the iron water droplets quickly condensed into flowers, just like fireworks blooming one after another. The silver flowers of the fire tree are unpredictable, and the pearls and iron flowers are thrown in vain. They change again and again in the night sky, and when they fall to the ground, they run around smartly until they are extinguished, which is both shocking and gorgeous. Did you watch the first iron flower fight this autumn?

  The summer night tour of "Yan Guan stayed up all night, a wonderful summer" will last until August 31, so come and punch in.

Memories of the past | "Forever giants embrace new" Zhu Lingling and her ladies’ girlfriends group.

Original Isabella & Miss Huang, Miss Lan and Miss Huang

Two days ago, I wrote the century funeral of the gambling king, and all the members of the second generation of Huo family who had a good friendship with him appeared. Huo Qigang and Guo Jingjing were present with their fingers clasped, and Huo Qigang expressed that the gambling king was the initiator of this loving relationship.

In fact, Huo Qigang’s mother, Zhu Lingling, also met the gambling king a lot in social occasions.

For example, in 1985, they were also judges of Sister Ya.

▲ In 1985, everyone was in their prime, and life really changed …

As the best and enduring model of Hong Kong sister in Hong Kong entertainment circle, the story of Zhu Lingling, a former Huo Jia’s new hug (meaning new hug, Cantonese daughter-in-law), has ups and downs, and there are too many intriguing characteristics in her body.

The whole world knows that she is beautiful, she is famous, she left the rich family and married into the rich family, and nothing happened in both marriages. Whether she is a new wife of Huo family or Mrs. Luo family, the reviews are top-notch. She gave birth to three sons, and recruited a champion daughter-in-law like Guo Jingjing. She was open-minded and considerate to the younger generation and made a transition from the most beautiful Hong Kong sister to the most beautiful mother-in-law.

Proud as Lin Yanni, she admits that she is "pampered by thousands of people", which probably represents the envy of all Hong Kong people. The so-called "eternal new embrace of the giants" is a distinguished grandmother everywhere, full of demeanor, and how to live so well.

▲ The first, the giant Huo family, the daughter-in-law of Huo Yingdong, the wife of Huo Zhenting; The second time, the rich Luo family, her husband is Luo Kangrui, the son of Luo Yingshi, the founder of Yingjun Group.

Calculate, Zhu Lingling has been living in the world of giants for 43 years, almost half a century. During her 40-odd years of life as a giant, she certainly cultivated a lot of skills in the world with the most red top, white gold and silver sand.

In fact, Zhu Lingling is not only behind the giants, but also has developed a deep-rooted world. She is the founder of a very famous organization in Hong Kong, which is called "Hui Yan Ya Ji".

What kind of organization is this?

Simply put, it is a charity, and its members are very special, and they are winners of previous Hong Kong sisters.

Huiyan Yaji has been running for 38 years, with a large number of members. After the annual Hong Kong Sister Competition, some people will join Huiyan Yaji, and the threshold for joining is not low. As for what threshold, we will talk about it later.

Huiyan Yaji will elect a president every year, who is a qualified, powerful and organized Hong Kong elder sister, such as Xiang Hailan, Chan Fat Yung, Angie Chiu and Mo Kexin, as well as the younger generation of Cao Minli and Weng Jiasui.

And Zhu Lingling, the woman standing behind this group of Hong Kong sisters, is the "honorary president forever".

▲ The initial stage of Hui Yan Ya Ji.

Huiyan Yaji is quite famous in Hong Kong, and it also has a certain influence. It is not just a small organization where ladies are self-satisfied, but it has almost become the parent of this group of Hong Kong sisters.

To give a small example, some time ago, after the incident of Huang Xinying stealing food from Xu Zhian, many people went to ask Zhu Lingling if he wanted to "take away the identity of Hong Kong sister in Huang Xinying"; Further, Li Shanshan, the champion of Hong Kong Sister, sold her crown and scepter, and some people asked Zhu Lingling if it was against the rules.

So, today, let’s talk about Zhu Lingling’s story. There are so many new giants. Why is she the only one who enjoys such glory? Why is this not very beautiful Hong Kong sister called "the most beautiful Hong Kong sister"? And, what kind of lady friends are around her?

Where did the demeanor of the grand grandma come from?

The starting point of Zhu Lingling is no different from other Hong Kong sisters. Choosing Hong Kong Sister is just a springboard. After winning the championship, she only made a play, made a brief appearance in the entertainment circle, and married Huo Zhenting the next year.

▲ Hong Kong Sister Champion in 1977. Later, Zhu Lingling also participated in the Miss World competition on behalf of Hongkong.

▲ The only film made by Zhu LICONgling is called "Mary Pass 77", directed by Kwok-Leung Gan, with a total of 12 beautiful women: Li Linlin, Lin Jianming, Huang Yunshi, Miao Jinfeng, Yu Anan, Gao Miaosi, Chen Jiayi, Han Mali, Cheng Kewei, Wang Mingquan, Zhu Lingling and Miao Qianren. Obviously, Zhu Lingling stood in the C position, and at that time, it showed the excellent dress taste of the two goddesses.

The wedding of 5 million yuan shook the whole territory, and all the newspapers reported it with a whole page-"Huo Zhenting got into the exam", "10 million yuan" and "Miss Zhu Lingling got married in the storm".

The Huo family in the late 1970s was the most famous family in Hong Kong. Not only because of Henry Fok’s great achievements in industry, but also because of the situation of reform and opening up in the mainland, Henry Fok went north again and again, and he shouldered more than just the influence of the business community.

Zhu Lingling this marriage, married very well, the giants, not only rich, but also very expensive, it’s nothing. So later, she was once a template for Hong Kong sisters to marry giants. No wonder all the newspapers were writing: "Zhu Lingling got married with beautiful scenery, and all Hong Kong sisters walked out with a black face."

Zhu Lingling’s face is regarded by fortune tellers from all walks of life as a lucky face, with five facial features, beautiful but not demon, and the most important thing is that the background is clean and has not been "polluted" by the entertainment circle, which is almost a hard indicator for later rich families to choose their wives.

For so many years, there are two famous cars on the streets of Hong Kong that attract people, especially housewives, to stop and watch. One is "I Love U" given to Gamby by Liu, and the other is "HK77" given to Zhu Lingling by Huo Zhenting, which represents that Zhu Lingling stood at the glorious starting point of his life in 1977.

Zhu Lingling also has a name called "the most beautiful Hong Kong sister". Now, people often question her name. Beauty is beautiful, but it’s not so exaggerated, is it? This wheat skin color, this single eyelid, can’t bear the word "most beautiful"?

In fact, the beauty of Zhu Lingling lies in her demeanor. Although her facial features are not so bright, the whole person looks relaxed and not vulgar. Moreover, she is a natural clothes hanger, tall enough, with flat shoulders and good taste. Even when she was young, she dressed in style and was always elegant and durable.

▲ From Zhu Lingling, we can see that the elegance and elegance of Zhu Lingling style is refreshing and concise, and the hair will always be smooth and docile, revealing a beautiful brain door. A large area of low saturation solid color on clothing is essential, and scarves, belts, jewelry and bags are added on top of it, with beautiful facial features, and elegance arises spontaneously.

Even if you stand with Xiao Fangfang, you must never lose:

▲ It’s true that Zhu Lingling liked art later. Judging from her dress choices when she was young, they were all very artistic. She liked long skirts very much and knew the most beautiful part of herself. If she wanted to show it, she would definitely show her beautiful shoulders and shoulders.

Now that I am old, I often choose black, noble and generous, often in a black dress, coupled with big jewelry or watches, and the gas field comes at once.

Of course, the beauty and elegance of appearance is not the most important thing for a woman. After all, the appearance will be old and the beauty will wither. After 40 years in power, Zhu Lingling is the benchmark and role model of many other rich wives. Her energy lies not in beauty, but in her perfection as a rich wife.

Zhu Lingling’s greatest feature is high emotional intelligence, and this so-called emotional intelligence, to put it bluntly, is willing to suffer. Doing things and being a person is absolutely complete and thoughtful, carrying clearly and seeing far, so it seems that it presents a big pattern different from that of ordinary wealthy wives. It doesn’t care about small favors in front of you, nor does it care about temporary losses.

The long-lasting divorce process with Huo Zhenting actually proves this indirectly.

Divorce with Huo Zhenting, Zhu Lingling has always been the dominant factor, and she wants to leave this envied rich family anyway, which actually proves one thing: the rich wife looks glamorous, but in fact, it is a great pressure and a serious imprisonment for women.

Giants have a lot of restrictions on their daughters-in-law, so I don’t have to say much about three obedience and four virtues. I have to write IOUs when I wear jewelry, and I can’t do business outside. Zhu Lingling, on the other hand, is a person with strong life energy. She likes to make friends with excellent women. In her early years, she got close to He Chaoqiong and Sally Yeh, who are old friends of ghosts and ghosts. These women are all strong in life.

▲ In 1988, Zhu Lingling, He Chaoqiong and Danny Chan recorded Happy Tonight together.

During his years in the giants, Zhu Lingling didn’t dare to display too much. He just quietly co-opened a tea restaurant ChinaTeeClub with his friends in the form of investment. It was located in Central and has been in business for 25 years. Among them, there is a private room dedicated to VIP, which overlooks the most beautiful street view (but it is now closed).

▲ Zhu Lingling opened a tea restaurant with her lady friends in her early years. This restaurant has a membership system, with an entrance fee of 1,000 yuan and 2,500 members.

Either he likes dancing, and he studied dance with Yin Weidong, the "king of Latin dance in China" for a while. You are also under great pressure when learning dance, because there are countless lenses around you.

Although Zhu Lingling, who was wandering in the dance, was comfortable and completely enjoyed, it was also said that this behavior provoked the Huo family’s dissatisfaction and made Zhu Lingling very depressed.

▲ Learning to dance extensively is the ethos of the upper class in Hong Kong. It is very simple. It can exercise, keep fit and inspire charm. Zhu Lingling’s suit is extremely conservative in dancing clothes, but through the velvet skirt, it can be seen that Zhu Lingling has really kept a good figure in recent years.

By the 22nd year, both sides were tired, and the marriage was not worthy of the name.

Huo Zhenting’s affair with an anchor in his early years, as well as his increasingly conservative words and deeds, has become more and more distant from the dynamic Zhu Lingling.

When Zhu Lingling and Luo Kangrui had an affair, both of them were still married. This is a very difficult relationship, and both sides are prominent families. How to deal with it and how to take care of both sides is a big deal. A wrong word and a wrong thing may be fermented by the media and cause great influence. For the giants, the most taboo is the scandal.

How to end the last paragraph with dignity and start the next paragraph with dignity is the biggest test in Zhu Lingling’s life.

▲ Luo Kangrui and his wife He Jingjie have a son and a daughter.

▲ He Jingjie has rarely appeared in social occasions since then, but she and Luo Kangrui have children, even if they divorce, they will not worry about the economy. But it is obvious that she doesn’t want a divorce. How can I put it? No matter how thoughtful you handle it, there are always one or two people who are really sad.

Almost no woman can get away with it in such a complicated situation, but Zhu Lingling did it. There are two small details, which show the big pattern of Zhu Lingling in dealing with these things.

The first thing is the death of my father-in-law Henry Fok.

Accurately speaking, it should be "ex-father-in-law", because at that time Zhu Lingling had divorced Huo Zhenting for two years. There is no Zhu Lingling’s name in the obituary issued by Huo’s family. The wreath she presented also calls herself "Miss Zhu Lingling", and her former father-in-law changed her name to "Shibo".

In the eyes of others, divorced people have nothing to do with each other, just do their duty, lay a wreath, bow, and people will get what they want.

But Zhu Lingling did her duty as a daughter-in-law. She didn’t care whether she was divorced or not, but did her best. She even came to the funeral scene one hour earlier than Huo Zhenting to help out.

In the family area, Zhu Lingling still sits with her sister-in-law, belonging to the Huo family’s harem. This detail is also regarded as Zhu Lingling’s position in the Huo family. At the funeral scene, the one who cried the most was Lv Yanni, Henry Fok’s original wife, the former daughter-in-law Zhu Lingling.

The funeral, all the media gave Zhu Lingling a large space, "Zhu Lingling cried in tears in front of the spirit" and "Zhu Lingling cried in tears when he looked at his appearance". This cry is a courtesy, a pattern, and the last emotion of his respectful father-in-law. Therefore, this scene is still very touching, and sincere tears have brought remarkable results.

After this incident, the Huo family dropped all their guard against Zhu Lingling and no longer cared about her new love affair. Zhu Lingling and Luo Kangrui could openly appear in public, and their love affair gradually became public. Even Huo Zhenting personally said "Good luck" to them.

▲ After the funeral, Huo Zhenting watched Zhu Lingling go away. This look is quite meaningful. I feel that I can make up 50 episodes of series by brain …

The second thing is the wedding of Zhu Lingling and Luo Kangrui.

In fact, when they got married, Zhu Lingling and Huo Zhenting had been divorced for four years. In the past four years, it has nothing to do with each other, and the divorce of the former giants has gradually been forgotten by the world.

However, in order to take care of the Huo family’s face, Zhu Lingling and Luo Kangrui stayed away from Hong Kong and went to Singapore for a very low-key and small-scale wedding. There were only four tables in the whole wedding. In Zhu Lingling’s relationship, only Sally Yeh and George Lam were present, and no other relatives and friends were invited, including his three sons.

▲ The banquet hall on the 20th floor of Singapore Four Seasons Hotel, the wedding banquet scene of Zhu Lingling and Luo Kangrui.

Although the wedding is extremely low-key, it is an epoch-making note in Zhu Lingling’s life. Only after the marriage dust settled, Zhu Lingling drew a clear line with her family completely. Before that, in order to take care of her family’s face, she still used the BMW car of HK77, and her passport and pass were also crowned with her family’s name.

After marriage, Zhu Lingling returned the remaining family things to the family mansion in boxes, and moved into the mansion with Luo Ruikang himself:

▲ Zhu Lingling and Luo Kangrui’s new home in Repulse Bay.

The famous "HK77" was dragged back to the BMW store and replaced by an Audi.

Officially removed the husband’s surname and used the real name of "Loletta Chu". And Luo Kangrui no longer avert suspicion, fingers twisted, shopping, eating and drinking tea generously.

Well, clear, organized and clean.

The Huo family’s daughter-in-law has been raising three sons for 26 years. Among them, the gullies and ridges are even hard to tell, and it is not enough to represent a few boxes of things and a BMW.

It is not an easy task to put an end to these 20-odd years honorably and thoroughly. I believe that Zhu Lingling gave full play to his "high emotional intelligence" in the process of divorce and marriage, and made a lot of efforts between Huo and Luo, taking care of the faces of both sides and striving for space for himself.

But as long as the row is clean and ends decently, it will be much more comfortable to meet again in the future.

Zhu Lingling, who has become Mrs Luo, still keeps in touch with Huo Zhenting and even has afternoon tea with her son. On the important occasion of my son, mom and dad were also present. Huo Zhenting decorated or other life events, Zhu Lingling also went to pay tribute.

In the eyes of others, a big family is a big family. A divorce case is still a peaceful picture without a little dog blood and disputes.

When I married Guo Jingjing, the two staged a century handshake and took a generous photo. Zhu Lingling smile, but HuoZhenTing a little embarrassed. Judging from body language and micro-expression, Zhu Lingling is happier than her ex-husband when she can get a divorce smoothly!

Who are the top girlfriends?

Zhu Lingling after marriage, don’t live too well. Without the constraints of the giants, her exuberant vitality has also been coruscated.

I like photography and studied under the famous Hong Kong photographer Chen Shaowen. Chen Shaowen praised her as "talented, eager to learn and willing to pay. I really didn’t expect her to achieve today."

▲ When Zhu Lingling held a film festival, Chen Shaowen was invited to the scene.

▲ Both Cherie Chung and I are photography lovers, because photography has become good friends. When Cherie Chung held a film festival, Zhu Lingling also went to pay attention to the makeup of the three people. It is said that the makeup of the upper class is going to be like no makeup, and Zhu Lingling can be said to be perfect. It seems that there is no makeup at all, and he wants to know all kinds of subtle life rules of the upper class.

▲ What do you think of Zhu Lingling’s photographs?

▲ At the George Lam concert, Zhu Lingling snapped wildly below.

Husband Luo Kangrui is also very famous. He not only patted Zhu Lingling everywhere, but also spent more than 300,000 yuan to buy his wife’s work, and took the opportunity to pay a courtesy.

Besides photography, I like playing badminton. Zhu Lingling’s skills are already very good, and Sally Yeh are the best golfers. They spend a lot of time on badminton, because they spend too much time playing, and Sally Yeh once had an affair with his badminton coach. Exercise all the year round, and keep fit and healthy.

▲ Keeping a girlish attitude, exercise is really essential. Who would have thought that this is a woman over 50 years old?

Then, it is the work of Huiyan Yaji and having a group of good girlfriends to kill time together.

Among all my friends, the closest person is Sally Yeh.

The two men knew each other when they were young, and they hit it off with each other. They are both girlfriends and golfers, and they are like conjoined twins. I estimate that they should spend more time together than their husbands.

▲ Zhu Lingling and Sally Yeh when they were young.

Two people play and watch the ball together:

Watch the horse race together:

Nothing to drink tea, get together, from young to now:

Shopping together:

Travel together:

Even seeing Chinese medicine is about to be together. You can have a pack of Chinese medicine and I will have a pack. Let’s take care of it:

The relationship between Sally Yeh and Zhu Lingling has gone beyond the so-called social level. They have real feelings. When Zhu Lingling admitted his love affair with Luo Kangrui, it was announced through Sally Yeh’s mouth. Zhu Lingling’s wedding only invited an insider in Sally Yeh, which shows their relationship.

In addition to Sally Yeh, Zhu Lingling’s close friends are all from "Hui Yan Ya Ji".

Speaking of it, Zhu Lingling personally founded "Hui Yan Ya Ji", in a sense, it is also to expand his life circle and social circle, not just kannika nimtragol, who is all attached to the giants, but also because of his decent behavior, he gradually gained influence.

In this group of Hong Kong sisters, Wang Ailun has the best relationship with her. At present, she is the "Chairman of the Trust Committee" of Huiyan Yaji.

Zhu Lingling has a very strict entry threshold when screening members of Huiyan Yaji, that is, "clean background". Therefore, the Hong Kong sisters who can become good girlfriends with her are basically those who got married and became wives at a very young age.

Wang Ailun is like this. She studied in Canada and returned to Hong Kong in 1985. She was elected as the third runner-up of Hong Kong Sister.

▲ The champion of that year was Xie Ning (middle of the left picture), and the runner-up was Luo Jinru (left of the left picture). Xie Ning was still very popular in TVB. He played "Two Prides of the Family" in 1988. Later, he married and retired, and then divorced and remarried. After a lot of difficulties, he now works as a radio host in TVB and opened a cake shop. Her husband is the head of TVB photography department, a top three middle school and a top three middle school.

▲ In 1985, the top three Hong Kong sisters still maintained their friendship and got together not long ago.

After winning the third place, Wang Ailun did not enter the entertainment circle, but found a job in a hotel. Two years later, she married a wealthy businessman named Lin, who was much older than herself, and then gave birth to two sons.

Nowadays, in Wang Ailun, apart from being a housewife to take care of the family, she sells yachts, and then part of her energy serves Huiyan Yaji. Selling yachts also represents strength and connections. Those who can afford yachts are all upper-class people in Hong Kong.

Therefore, Wang Ailun can enter the "Hui Yan Ya Ji" because of her clean background, but being Zhu Lingling’s best friend depends on her economic strength and personal connections.

In addition, although Wang Ailun has a clean background in the entertainment circle, her two precious sons are well-known sons in the circle, and there are endless scandals with female stars.

Chester Lin, the eldest son, is a famous playboy, who likes night pu and has numerous girls around him.

I once fell in love with Zhou Jiawei, a female star (Zhou Jiawei is also a mixed circle in Hong Kong, with a famous girlfriend group), and Zhou Jiawei later married Hong Tianming, the son of Sammo Hung, and Chester Lin also had a big wedding reception, which made the atmosphere very stiff.

Hong Tianming was so angry that he cursed, "Come uninvited, and you should pick up girls and die far away." Finally, my mother had to go out and call Hong Tianming to apologize and clean up the mess: "I drove him to the United States."

Jianlong Lin, the youngest son, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he also likes to deal with female stars. Jianlong Lin has a famous ex-girlfriend. Oh, her name is Wu Qianyu.

After Wu Qianyu and Jianlong Lin broke up, they started dating raymond lam. However, Qianyu BB was so charming that she broke up with Jianlong Lin, and was photographed by reporters as intimate in the nightclub, which made raymond lam very angry.

Therefore, to say that Wang Ailun and Zhu Lingling have something in common, apart from belonging to the upper class, there are also similarities in life. They all gave birth to sons, more than one, and their sons are similar in age, so they can also play together.

▲ Lin Gongzi and Huo Gongzi are also good friends, and their friendship has extended to the next generation.

In addition to Wang Ailun, the core member of Huiyan Gang is Chan Fat Yung.

Chan Fat Yung was the Hong Kong Sister Champion in 1989. Although she is unmarried and childless, she has been in the entertainment circle. It seems that she is not the same as Zhu Lingling. However, Chan Fat Yung is famous for her love of making friends in the circle, and she is bright and cheerful. Female stars from all walks of life are her friends.

▲ Young Chan Fat Yung has a neat Hong Kong girl demeanor.

Chan Fat Yung has many friends and a wide circle. In addition to Hui Yan Ya Ji, her girlfriends with Ada Choi and Hong Xin are already very famous:

In his early years, he made a film "People on the Edge" with Luo Huijuan and Kitty Lai Mei Han, and since then, he has been close.

▲ Among the three people, it is a sigh that Meijuan Luo, who fell in love with Zhou Xingxing, died of illness in his early years …

Although Chan Fat Yung has a strong Hong Kong female wind, she has a heart that hates marriage. Chan Fat Yung’s eyes have always been on the rich boy in those years when she just chose Hong Kong Sister to join the profession.

She had an affair with Ni Zhen, when Ni Zhen had already broken up with Michele Monique Reis and dated Vivian Chow. Ni Gongzi was very surprised to see Chan Fat Yung, calling her a nosebleed actress. In the long run, the two of them secretly fell in love, even to the point of talking about marriage.

Later, Vivian Chow showdown, Ni Gongzi weighed the pros and cons, chose Vivian Chow, left Chan Fat Yung, and it was reported that Chan Fat Yung was hit hard.

Later, he dated Xu Jinheng Lightning, but the relationship didn’t last long. Chan Fat Yung and Michele Monique Reis were once deadlocked, and they were also incompatible in the activity.

Chan Fat Yung and Michele Monique Reis bumped into their boyfriends twice. They can only say that in love, she owes a little luck and a little murderous look. Michele Monique Reis is much more direct and fierce than her. It can be seen that being too docile is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.

▲ Two Hong Kong sisters champions once had a cordial group photo: Chan Fat Yung, Michele Monique Reis and Yang Baoling.

For quite a long time, Chan Fat Yung wanted to marry into a rich family very much. Her background was clean, and she always claimed to be a good girl. Joining Huiyan Yaji was also a way for her to enter the upper class to some extent, but there were too few reliable men in the rich circle, and it was really a variety of grievances to get along with those who were scum.

Recently, her attitude towards emotion is a bit "nothing".

From Zhu Lingling’s point of view, in a small group, beautiful girls like Chan Fat Yung are indispensable, with energy and enthusiasm, a needle thread and a warm atmosphere. Moreover, although Chan Fat Yung is a little smaller than Zhu Lingling and Wang Ailun, it is also an era coming, seeing common people and things, and the relationship is naturally close.

Therefore, Chan Fat Yung is a veteran in Huiyan Yaji, and she has done it three times just as the president. Zhu Lingling has rarely attended any activities of Huiyan Yaji, and she has almost never left.

Chan Fat Yung has a car-scrapping personality and a special leadership style.

One year, Huiyan Yaji held an activity. Everyone wore pink uniforms, except Liang Xiaobing, who was not wearing them and was late. Chan Fat Yung, the president, was merciless and scolded Liang Xiaobing in the street, so angry that Liang Xiaobing turned and left, and Wang Ailun followed his ass as a peacemaker: "Don’t be angry, don’t be angry."

Huiyan Yaji has never had any dog blood dispute, which is the only one. Later, Liang Xiaobing retired.

A little younger, that is, Xiang Hailan, Cao Minli and Weng Jiasui.

Xiang Hailan was the champion of Hong Kong Sister in 1998. Apart from filming in TVB, she has been doing jewelry business. Zhu Lingling should have helped her find a job. Xiang Hailan once worked in Ryan Group in the hands of Zhu Lingling’s husband Luo Kangrui.

▲ Xiang Hailan (right) and Cao Minli (left) at the anniversary of Huiyan Ya Ji.

Cao Minli and Weng Jiasui also basically copied the path of their predecessors, and married after choosing Hong Kong Sister.

Recently, Weng Jiasui, the president of Huiyan Yaji in 2020, was elected as the champion of Hong Kong Sister in 1997. In that year, there was a famous second place among Hong Kong Sisters. Her name was Charmaine Sheh.

Weng Jiasui and Charmaine Sheh took different paths. She got married early and gave birth to two sons, instead of staying in the entertainment circle to fight for her career. But like Zhu Lingling, she is also willing to do some social work, has opened a furniture store, and has just been elected as a member of the Board of Directors of Donghua Group of Hospitals.

I can see from her social account that she has been in and out of Vanity Fair, and Wang Mingquan and Sammi Cheng are good friends.

▲ Zhou Liqi, Wang Mingquan and Weng Jiasui.

Recently, on her birthday, a room full of young girls came to join her. This circle of friends is also quite extensive, which also shows her leadership ability.

The above is Zhu Lingling’s interpersonal circle. The core girlfriends are Sally Yeh and Wang Ailun. They are similar in age and experience, belong to the same circle, have families, and have the same economic strength, so they can communicate deeply in life.

Chan Fat Yung and her personal feelings are not so deep, but she is also a good sister who helps each other along the way, and she should be taken with her in various occasions;

As for the others, they belong to the right-hand man. They respect Zhu Lingling, and Zhu Lingling is willing to give them a hand.

At small-scale parties in Zhu Lingling, you can always see these four or five people, who form a group of ladies and girlfriends in Zhu Lingling.

Here, I can’t help mentioning another person, Angie Chiu.

Angie Chiu has also served in Huiyan Yaji for a long time, and she must be indispensable to various occasions of Huiyan Yaji. However, it is widely rumored that she and Zhu Lingling are not very harmonious, and both of them are like Hui Yan’s elder sister, which means that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

How to say it? Angie Chiu is really out of the range of Zhu Lingling’s contacts. It can only be said that the circle of friends of ladies also has strict grades and thresholds.

For so many years, Angie Chiu has been filming, appearing on the show, and making money by endorsement. Her husband, Huang Jinshen, is a lawyer, and there is a pharmacist’s Title. It can be said that although she has ample food and clothing, she does not belong to aristocrats and celebrities.

So Angie Chiu and Zhu Lingling have nothing in common in private.

Angie Chiu has her own circle. On her birthday, Alejandro Delfino, Paula Tsui, Bai Xuexian and Liu Peiji all went. There is also a "first female anchor of TVB" named Ye Yayuan (bottom right in the picture below), who is the first female reporter to appear in the TVB lens.

How can I put it? Everyone is peaceful in social occasions, but when they return to real life, they all have their own rock-solid circles. It is not easy to integrate into another circle.

However, at this age and position, life has also found a relatively comfortable state. It’s good for everyone to mix their own circles. There is no competition, and the clouds are light and the wind is light, and each is well …

Why do people want to call Zhu Lingling "forever the new embrace of the giants" or "the most beautiful Hong Kong sister"? It may be because she doesn’t show too much utilitarian flavor, and this state of "harmony and indisputable" is exactly what the giants expect of their wives.

Of course, she is also smart. She knows what she wants and will pursue it bravely, but her cleverness lies in that she will be as careful as possible and try to arrange all the people around her.

It took her more than twenty years to learn the essence of a rich family and a rich wife. When she felt that this was a kind of imprisonment for her life, she decided to leave.

However, this process of leaving is not a life-and-death process, but a lot of empathy and understanding, and we should also take into account each other’s position when leaving. Zhu Lingling is willing to suffer. In the process of divorce, she tries to deal with it in the most low-key way, focusing on the face and interests of her family, which is actually very kind.

Give face to the family, give face to Huo Zhenting, and give face to the children. I started a new life in an atmosphere of "hello, I am good, everyone is good", regardless of the temporary loss of power, whether the wedding is complete or not, regardless of the speculation of newspapers and the media, and not to pierce the soft underbelly of the giants.

At the same time, she is also very proficient in social harmony and "four or two". When her son married Guo Jingjing, the reporter always asked, "How do you teach Jingjing the etiquette of the giants?" "How many sons should they have?"

Zhu Lingling replied: I don’t think a modern family needs to teach anything. Jingjing is a very successful person. They decide for themselves.

Although this is a social language, I have to say that Zhu Lingling’s knowledge and mind are first-class in Mrs. Kuo. She never expresses herself strongly, but in fact, many things are going on according to her plan. This is exactly what the old money is doing, keeping a low profile and circuitous, and it is best not to be known, but she must accomplish her goal.

Of course, she also has her traditional side. In fact, Zhu Lingling doesn’t have to get married again after divorce. Living to this age and position, she and Luo Kangrui can actually maintain a relatively free and comfortable relationship, but they still got married without hesitation.

Luo Kangrui met Zhu Lingling with sincerity, and on her wedding day, she wrote Zhu Lingling’s name on all the companies under her name, making a fortune of hundreds of millions, regardless of you and me.

Zhu Lingling’s Hui Yan Ya Ji often sees the generosity of "Ruian Real Estate", which is Luo Kangrui’s love for Zhu Lingling.

Money is just a means, and what is hidden in it is a kind of kindness after traveling all over Qian Shan.

Why do we feel so beautiful when we see Zhu Lingling and Luo Ruikang together?

Zhu Lingling and Luo Kangrui under the paparazzi lens are always inseparable, smiling, planning things for their families together and living a real and comfortable family life. This is the congenial feeling of two adults who have seen the sinister world and experienced the vicissitudes of the world. This feeling is strong and meaningful, and it is very romantic in this world full of calculation and snobbery.

Because it is not the short-lived passion of young people, but the mutual understanding, understanding and cherish between two mature people, it needs the same frequency, empathy, and even more, it needs the trust and some naivety in the hearts of two people who are not young, which is extremely rare and romantic.

How to say it? When I saw Zhu Lingling, I thought of one sentence:

In fact, the dominance of life has always been in your own hands, and it is never too late.

Keep a good body, keep a good heart, be patient, keep a low profile and be kind. Although the process is tortuous, you can always enjoy the sweetest side of life by moving forward.

This may be the story of the most beautiful Hong Kong sister Zhu Lingling, which can inspire us the most …

Jingmen, Hubei Province issued a blue warning of low water, and 395 reservoirs opened floodgates to release water.

  Recently, the Hydrology and Water Resources Survey Bureau of Jingmen City, Hubei Province issued a blue warning of low water. In view of the fact that the worst drought in the past 10 years has occurred in autumn, winter and spring, and the water storage is seriously insufficient, there are 395 reservoirs in Jingmen City, and all 13 large and medium-sized pumping stations are turned on, with a cumulative drainage of 180 million cubic meters. The management office of the third main canal of Zhanghe Reservoir opened the floodgate on May 14th, with a maximum flow of 25 cubic meters per second. All localities use their own water sources and backbone irrigation areas to ensure that farmland within the scope of irrigation control should be irrigated. The meteorological department also implemented artificial precipitation enhancement in time.

  At the same time, in terms of water storage and water conservation, Shayang County seized the favorable opportunity of rising water level of the Yangtze River, and replenished 40 million cubic meters of water to Changhu Lake through the Shiqiao River Hub of the Hanjiang River Diversion Project to raise the water level of Changhu Lake to meet the irrigation demand of 200,000 mu of farmland around the lake. Villages and towns around the Han River promptly grabbed the passenger water from the Han River, which ensured the irrigation of farmland around the river. Zilingpu Town, Dongbao District uses a fixed pumping station to pump idle water from Jiudugang River and Jianjiachong River to replenish reservoirs and ponds, with a total of 1.2 million cubic meters of drought-resistant water.

  At present, the Water Resources and Lakes Bureau of Jingmen City, Hubei Province has set up five working groups to go to the grass-roots level to learn about the water situation, agricultural conditions and drought, supervise and guide the implementation of local responsibilities, organize and launch, project scheduling, etc., carry out technical guidance, and coordinate irrigation water supply.

Increase your knowledge | The Mandarin you learn is actually the "dialect" of this small county.

  "Putonghua takes Beijing pronunciation as the basic pronunciation, northern dialect as the basic dialect, and modern vernacular writings as the grammatical norm." This is the standard definition of Mandarin. Baidu’s explanation of "Putonghua" includes a special item — — Luanping County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, is the place where standard putonghua sounds are collected. So why Luanping? What’s so special about this small county separated from Beijing by a mountain?

△ "Hometown of Putonghua" Stone Carving

  Walking into Luanping, a big stone carving stands out, saying "the hometown of Putonghua". Being in Luanping is like being among the announcers, from the elderly to the children, everyone speaks Mandarin with clear pronunciation and mellow voice.Luanping dialect is considered to be "closer to Putonghua than Beijing dialect" because there are no language habits such as retroflex, saving words and ending sounds.Someone joked: "Learning Mandarin, originally learning Luanping dialect!"

  Experts enter the village to collect pronunciation for formulating common language norms

  Bai Fengran, 77, still remembers something that happened 63 years ago. In the spring of 1953, Luanping No.4 Complete Primary School just started school. At the age of 14, he was called to the office to read the text to two experts. In the process of listening, the two experts have been recording in the notebook, and some places have asked him to pause and reread a word. "After reading, they asked me if I usually talk like this at home? I nodded. " Bai Fengran recalled.

△ Data Map: The National Language Committee came to Luanping to collect sample sounds.

  Luanping always talks like this. Like Bai Fengran, three students of other grades in the same school read several articles in front of experts. Now, the four young students who read the article that year are old, and together with three other villagers who have talked with experts, they are honored as the "phonetic seven old" of Luanping.

  Of course, they couldn’t know that the two strangers were language experts sent by the Special Affairs Bureau of the Central People’s Government at that time, and they were conducting a phonetic inspection for formulating the common language standard in China.

 

  Clear pronunciation and mellow voice, directly defining Luanping dialect as a national standard

 

  As the saying goes, it is an arduous project to make people from all over the world talk freely. After the founding of New China, it is necessary to establish a standardized universal language system and promote it to the whole country. However, according to which standard to form the final specification, it is difficult to adjust.

△ Data Map/vision china

  As a national norm, Putonghua needs smooth syllable mouth, concise tone, easy to distinguish, even moderate speech speed, coherent airflow and sufficient charm, which is suitable for broadcasting, speech and daily communication. Judging from the standard of Putonghua,Luanping’s pronunciation is accurate and clear, with clear pronunciation and clear pronunciation, and its intonation is "harder" than that of Beijing dialect at that time, which is direct and clear, especially without the pronunciation habits of retroflex, word saving and ending in Beijing Hutong, and it is easy to learn and popularize.A Mexican student once praised that learning "Luanping sound" saves the tongue than "Beijing sound"! In this context, Luanping became one of the places where Mandarin speech was collected in the early 1950s.

△ Foreign students learn Chinese.

  This smell formed over 600 years has finally become a standard sound.

  In fact, the deep historical origin between Luanping and Putonghua can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty more than 600 years ago. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the population of the Central Plains dropped sharply due to continuous campaigns. As a result, the mountainous area in northern Hebei, which was located in the mountainous area and was relatively unaffected by the war, became an important base for population migration at that time.

  During the Yongle period, Zhu Di, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, moved the capital to Beijing, and ordered all the residents and troops outside Gubeikou to withdraw to the Great Wall, forming a no-man’s land on a large scale outside the Great Wall, and Luanping was in the southernmost part of this no-man’s land. This situation was not changed until the early Qing Dynasty when immigrants from around Beijing reclaimed land from Luanping again.

△ Data Map: Jinshanling Great Wall, Chengde, Hebei/vision china

  "What exactly was the dialect of Luanping before the Ming Dynasty? Now there is no way to verify it. In the Ming Dynasty, the historical fault of Luanping for more than 200 years, like tape degaussing, ‘ Wash ’ After losing the original dialect, Luanping became a blank tape waiting for recording. " Wang Guoping, vice chairman of Luanping CPPCC, said.

  The official language of the Ming Dynasty was Nanjing Mandarin, and the capital was moved to Beijing during the Yongle period, and the Nanjing dialect that followed became the basis of Beijing pronunciation at that time. After Manchu entered Beijing, they actively studied Chinese culture, especially language and culture, and the Beijing dialect they taught gradually became the new Beijing Mandarin popularized in Qing Dynasty. This period happened to be the peak period when Manchu flag people opened fields and built villages in Luanping.

△ Data Map: After Zhu Di moved to Beijing,

  Wang Guoping believed that Zhuangtian had close contacts with Beijing and was greatly influenced by Beijing Mandarin at that time. Since Luanping is like a blank tape, a large number of immigrants from various sources do not have strong dialects, and what is common is the Beijing Mandarin popularized in the Qing Dynasty.It can be said that Luanping was the pioneer of the promotion of Beijing Mandarin in the Qing Dynasty, and the widely influential Beijing Mandarin eventually became the predecessor of Putonghua.

  As long as Luanping people have at least a second standard of Putonghua.

  Since 2012, the state has started the construction of the audio database of language resources, in which Hebei participated. Therefore, in 2013, after a lapse of 60 years, Bai Fengran once again participated in the voice collection work. At that time, 74-year-old Bai Fengran recorded four or five hours a day in an underground recording studio, but he didn’t complain at all. He said, "I am very satisfied with doing this to promote Putonghua and promote Luanping culture."

  Tang Yunhang, dean of Hebei Tourism Vocational College, became attached to Luanping as a national Putonghua tester. About 20 years ago, as an examiner, he took a Putonghua test in Chengde. When he reported the test results to the provincial Putonghua Test Center, he was questioned that the standard was too loose because there were too many people above Grade Two. "I dare say that in any corner of Luanping, as long as he is a Luanping person, his Putonghua level is at least second-class A!"

△ Data Map/vision china

  "Putonghua Experience Zone" is the name awarded to Luanping by the State Language Committee. "What is a cultural brand? Mandarin is the cultural brand of Luanping. " Cai Fuhao, secretary of the Luanping County Party Committee of Hebei Province, said, "We look forward to the future. Everyone knows that the place to learn Mandarin and learn standard Chinese pronunciation is Luanping, Hebei Province."

Half of the police in the third largest city in the United States used to work for gangs, and now they are accused of being in Afghanistan.

According to a report by the Chicago Tribune on December 22, 2019, a shooting incident occurred in the Englewood community in Chicago that day, resulting in 13 injuries, four of which were seriously injured. The police are investigating two suspects.

In fact, the shooting in Chicago is nothing new. In his opening speech at the annual meeting of international police chiefs, Trump said that gun violence in Chicago, where there were more than 560 murders in 2018, was "more dangerous than Afghanistan".

From the overall data, Trump’s metaphor is not unreasonable. According to the data provided by the Chicago Tribune, from 2001 to 2016, the number of deaths of US troops in Iraq was 4,504, and the number of deaths in Afghanistan was 2,384. During this time period, the number of abnormal deaths in Chicago was 7,916. Therefore, Chicago is called the "city of violence" and "shooting capital" in the United States.

So, how did the most modern city in the United States gradually become the "most unsafe city"?

The gunfire in Chicago never stopped.

In the first nine months of 2019 alone, the number of people killed by shooting in Chicago reached 408 and 1972 people were injured.

During the Labor Day holiday in the United States (August 31-September 2), Chicago staged a "bloody weekend". The police said that within 48 hours, at least 7 people in the city were killed by shooting and more than 30 people were injured.

Among them, on the morning of August 31, a man named Willie Coker was shot outside. On the same day, a man shot at the crowd with a gun, killing two people and injuring three others. There were also two shootings in Humboldt Park, resulting in one death and one injury.

On September 1st, Wan Tai Jackson, a 15-year-old boy, was shot in his neighborhood and died instantly. Soon after, an unidentified man and woman were shot at a party, and the man was pronounced dead on the spot. On the same day, a gun battle by car occurred in southwest Chicago, killing one person and seriously injuring another.

The picture shows the distribution of shootings in downtown Chicago as of November 7, 2019. Source: HeyJackass!

Then, from the evening of September 22nd to the early morning of the next day, there were 10 consecutive shootings in Chicago, in which 12 people were shot. The frequency of the shootings was unimaginable:

At about 7:30 that night, a 24-year-old man was shot and had two wounds on his shoulder.

At about 8:30 pm, a 23-year-old woman was shot in her house and her leg was injured.

About 15 minutes later, a 39-year-old man and two 14-year-old boys were shot while walking, and all three were injured in their legs.

At 10 pm, a 33-year-old man was shot in the back;

At about 11: 45 pm, a 28-year-old man was shot in the back;

At 12: 10 pm, a 21-year-old woman was shot in the back of the yard and her arm was injured.

At 12: 30 pm, a 45-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man were shot while driving. The woman was injured in the shoulder and the man was shot in the hip.

At about 2: 15 am, an 18-year-old man was bruised by a bullet in the head;

……

What’s going on in Chicago? This needs to start from the beginning.

emigrant

From 1620, when the first group of Puritans sailed into New England on the sailboat "may flower", up to now, one in four Americans is a new immigrant or the child of an immigrant, and the United States is a country established by immigrants.

Immigrants have brought advanced technology, laid the foundation of American civilization and culture, and also brought hidden dangers of social unrest.

This is particularly prominent in Chicago.

When immigrants first come to the United States, they generally choose areas with superior geographical location and rapid urban development.

Geographically, Chicago is located at the intersection of the tributary of the Mississippi River and Lake Michigan, backed by the Great Lakes. There are many rivers in the area, and the terrain is flat, forming a dense land and water transportation line.

The picture shows the geographical location of Chicago.

Relying on its excellent geographical advantages, the coal from Illinois, the iron ore from the Great Lakes in the north, the timber from Wisconsin and Michigan, and the grain from the Midwest of the United States were all transported to Chicago, and its steel industry developed rapidly.

By the 1980s, the three largest steel mills in Chicago accounted for nearly 30% of the total rail production in the United States. Huge production capacity has spawned a large number of job opportunities. In the 1970s alone, the number of employees in three steel mills reached more than 3,100.

The picture shows a group photo of steel workers at the south factory in Chicago. At its peak, this factory employed 20,000 people. Source: Wikipedia.

Just as the steel industry in Chicago was in full swing, a disaster suddenly came. In 1871, an unexpected fire burned for two days, and most of Chicago’s urban areas were destroyed. At last, at least 300 people were killed and 100,000 people were displaced, accounting for one-third of the population at that time.

While the fire brought disaster, it also brought opportunities for re-planning and construction in Chicago. During the period of reconstruction, the world’s first skyscraper with steel frame was born in Chicago. Since then, its innovative urban architecture has sprung up and gradually gained a worldwide reputation.

The picture shows a painting about the Chicago fire in 1871. Source: The Paper

Convenient transportation, a large number of jobs and a city in ruins have attracted many immigrants. During the second wave of immigrants in the United States (from 1861 to 1880), about 5 million immigrants came to the United States, and quite a few of them chose to settle down in Chicago. During this period, the five-year civil war ended, and many oppressed blacks moved from the south to the north.

For the above reasons, the population of Chicago increased from 112,000 in 1860 to 503,000 in 1880. The intersection of various races has made the composition of Chicago society rapidly diversified and complicated, and racial contradictions have begun to stand out and escalated rapidly.

In the summer of 1919, a white man threw a stone at Eugene Williams, an African-American young man swimming in Lake Michigan, who later died of his injuries. The police refused to arrest the perpetrators, which triggered protests from black groups. This tragedy became the fuse of racial riots in Chicago. During the riots, whites and blacks threw stones or bricks at each other in the street and shot at each other with pistols or shotguns. The police turned a blind eye and the law and order in the city disappeared. The 13-day riot eventually killed 38 people (including 23 blacks and 15 whites), injured more than 530 people and left more than 1,000 black families homeless.

The picture shows the white militia confronting an African-American veteran in the street during the riots. Source: Chicago Tribune.

Afterwards, Woodrow Wilson, then president of the United States, condemned the white people as the perpetrators and promoted racial harmony through the establishment of voluntary organizations and congressional legislation.

However, today, racial discrimination in Chicago and the tragedy caused by it still exist.

In October 2014, a Chicago policeman named Jason Van Dyke had an altercation with a 17-year-old black youth, Rakuan McDonald, and then fired 16 shots at him, causing McDonald to die on the spot. However, more than a year later, after Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder, the Chicago Police Department released the video of the incident photographed on a police car at that time at the request of the court.

The cover-up behavior of the police station and the bloody truth of the video made Chicago people take to the streets to protest the abuse of force by police officers, and the trust between the people and the police collapsed. This incident is even considered to be one of the main reasons for the serious out-of-control of public security in Chicago in 2016 and 2017.

In October 2018, Van Dyke pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and 16 counts of serious assault, and was sentenced to 81 months (6 years and 9 months) in January 2019.

Of course, behind immigration, there is far more than racial discrimination.

sinister gang

There are many kinds of immigrants going to America.

Immigrants from Britain, Germany and other countries came to develop North America with large sums of money; Irish and Italian immigrants, on the other hand, are forced by the sluggish domestic economy and turbulent political arena, and have no choice but to seek a livelihood in the United States.

At that time, the traditional white Americans regarded the latter as a different kind and rejected them in all fields of society.

Italians from Sicily are eager to change the fate of the bottom. With their experience of participating in gang activities in their hometown, they started the road of creating the Chicago Mafia, an overseas branch of the Mafia.

However, Irish immigrants who experienced the "potato famine" and the cruel rule of Britain, faced with the increasingly intensified racial contradictions in Chicago society, chose to "organize groups" to carry out violent struggles.

Gangs controlled by these two ethnic groups have completely changed the social composition of Chicago.

Most of these gangs were established at the end of the 19th century, and they penetrated into every "capillary" of the city in blocks. More dangerously, some gangs even buy arms from the military through special channels, and gangs with military weapons have become the primary threat to urban security.

It takes a lot of money to keep gangs running and buy arms. Where does the money come from?

In 1920, the American government issued the "Prohibition Order" to help the gangs solve this problem. During the prohibition period, the formal liquor market was banned, which resulted in the rise of the black market. For a time, smuggling and underground trading became a lucrative business, and a large amount of money poured into the private liquor selling industry in Chicago.

Due to the depression caused by prohibition, many Chicago people not only gave their money to the gang, but also gave their knees. It can be said that a steady stream of "selling wine money" helps gangs buy arms, develop offline and expand their power.

At that time, the private liquor trade in Chicago was mainly controlled by the Irish gang under Moran, a "bug", and the mafia led by al capone.

Among them, al capone, the mafia leader, was hailed as "the underground mayor of Chicago". During the prohibition period, he accumulated huge wealth by selling private liquor. According to the data, the daily profit from selling alcohol in al capone is as high as $5,000.

The picture on the left shows Moran, the bug, and the picture on the right shows al capone.

However, as the smuggling of liquor became more and more serious, the interests of the two factions became entangled, and the feud gradually became a "Valentine’s Day tragedy" that shocked the whole country in 1929. Capone sent his men to dress up as policemen, forced seven Irish gang members to line up against the wall in the garage, and then shot them mercilessly.

In broad daylight, pretending to be a policeman shot his opponent, which shows the extent of al capone and Chicago Mafia at that time.

The picture shows the police simulating the "Valentine’s Day tragedy" crime scene.

What are the real cops doing?

They were bribed. During Capone’s mafia rule, more than half of Chicago police officers worked for him. It is said that Capone spends millions of dollars every year to bribe and win over a large number of police, government employees, lawyers and judges. Therefore, in the murder case, Capone does not have to worry about bringing risks to himself.

However, Capone’s craziest move in Chicago’s political arena was to personally control the 1927 Chicago mayoral election.

At that time, under the cover of campaign funds, he became the financial owner of Thompson, one of Chicago mayoral candidates, and six months before the vote, he made 62 bomb attacks and murdered at least two politicians in order to undermine Thompson’s campaign opponents.

Capone’s behavior was so rampant that the federal marshals in Chicago asked the US Attorney General to authorize 500 federal marshals to ensure that voters voted safely that day. But Chicago people, who were afraid of mafia forces, finally chose Thompson, and Capone also ushered in his peak.

In the presidential election in 1928, the captain of Chicago criminal police team, Roth, found Capone and asked him not to get involved in the presidential election. In return, the police promised not to "disturb" Capone and his men for "small things" such as murder.

With the help of many parties, the gangs in Chicago have developed like bamboo, and they are still active today and become a major threat to the whole city. According to the survey data of the police in 2015, there are at least 59 gangs and 625 subordinate branches in Chicago. Nowadays, Chicago, new york and Los Angeles are also called "the three gangster cities in America".

As an American journalist wrote, "guns are the passport here, drugs are better than dollars, and killing people represents honor." Whoever kills more people can be promoted in the gang. "

four

politician

In addition to gangs, there is also a famous family-the Daley family that has a far-reaching influence on Chicago.

The picture shows Kennedy, then president of the United States, meeting the Daley family at the White House. Source: White House official website

The first generation "political star" of the Daley family is Richard J. Daley, a former Illinois senator who combines the characteristics of American "old white men" (meaning old, white and male) politicians. He was re-elected as the mayor of Chicago for six times, with a total term of 21 years.

During his tenure, Daley successfully grasped the golden age of world economic development after World War II and completed the reshaping of Chicago’s heavy industry. However, his two actions with obvious racial discrimination left a legacy for the city.

The first is the "public housing plan" with racial segregation.

Chicago’s "public housing plan" was born in the early 20th century. The city government with strong financial resources hoped to provide a clean living environment for people with difficulties, so the original design was mainly two-story townhouses.

After Daley took office, he also vigorously promoted the "public housing plan", but compared with the previous public housing design, the public housing he admired was huge, with a large number of households in each unit, and a community could accommodate at least 75,000 people.

From cleanliness and comfort to maximum accommodation of population, why did the change happen?

Because Daley is a racist supporter. In the 1950s, the southern United States imposed extremely strict racial laws and brutally oppressed blacks. Many blacks had to leave their hometowns, and a large number of them chose to go to Chicago to look for opportunities.

In this case, the old-fashioned public housing with a large area and a small number of people can’t meet the influx of black population. In 1955, when Daley took office, Chicago white politicians headed by him did not want blacks to flood into traditional white communities, so new standards of public housing rose. Daley’s idea is to isolate blacks in a corner of the city and divide and rule the two ethnic groups.

The picture shows the robert taylor community with the largest number of blacks in Chicago at that time. Source: Observer Network.

Therefore, Daley’s new "public housing plan" is actually the result of the practice of "white supremacy". In the new public housing with a large population, the signs of violent crimes began to grow. These buildings with complex structures and densely populated areas can become fortified fortresses on the outside, and can serve as "arsenals" and "drug factories" on the inside. Gangsters also use ordinary residents as a cover to walk freely through them.

The second is the education system with the color of apartheid.

In the mid-1950s, Chicago’s public schools were overcrowded. Daley and his inspector Benjamin Willis set up a mobile classroom-625 "Willis trailers" on the campus of the black community, so that black students would not transfer to the white community. However, due to the limited space, black students still need to take turns to go to school.

The picture shows the police on duty to defend the mobile classroom in Guggenheim junior high school. Source: Chicago Tribune

When civil rights organizations urged Daley and Willis to integrate schools in Chicago, Daley flew into a rage and asked civil rights organizations to keep their distance from school affairs.

In 1965, the U.S. Department of Education announced that it would stop providing $30 million in federal aid because the Chicago school board still practiced racial discrimination in schools. Daley told the media arrogantly that he could use his influence in Washington to overturn the decision.

In 1968, 85% of black students in Chicago attended "exclusive schools" with 95% black students.

In the early 1970s, Chicago’s schools were in trouble, and more than 40% students did not graduate from high school. The average reading ability of eighth-grade students is almost one and a half years behind that of students in other parts of the country, and students in slum schools are more than two years behind.

In 1976, Daley died of illness. After family trading, his son "Little Daley" Richard M Daley became the mayor of Chicago in 1989. Daley Jr. surpassed his father for 22 years.

The picture on the left is Richard J. Daley, and the picture on the right is "Little Daley" Richard M Daley. Source: Chicago Tribune.

Under Daley Jr., a large number of relatives, friends and political allies of Daley family benefited from urban contracting. Jeremy Joyce, Daley Jr.’ s confidant, won the contract to be a McDonald’s franchise store at O’Hare Airport, Chicago’s largest airport, earning $1.8 million a year. Michael Taddin, another friend of Daley Jr., signed a $100 million municipal road maintenance contract with the city.

A survey in Chicago Tribune in 1999 found that since Daley Jr. took office, 68 Daley family relatives had been employed by the government at different times.

In addition, Daley Jr. is more racist than his father. He once said in public that Chicago needs a "white mayor" and turned a deaf ear to the illegal law enforcement by the police against ethnic minorities.

By the end of 2009, Daley Jr.’ s approval rating had fallen to an all-time low of 35%. Subsequently, he announced that he would give up seeking a seventh term. People’s livelihood is sad, prices are soaring, gangs are rampant, and capital outflows are the last impressions left by Chicago under the Daley family.

go bankrupt

In 2008, the financial crisis broke out in the United States, and the global financial market was in turmoil. Chicago was also affected. Since then, its steel industry has been depressed, traditional manufacturing industries have moved out, and urban tax revenue has dropped sharply.

This decline has continued to this day, as can be seen from the rising fiscal deficit year after year.

Chicago’s fiscal deficit in 2011 was US$ 655 million (equivalent to about RMB 4.6 billion). On August 29th, 2019, Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced that the city was facing a budget deficit of US$ 838 million (equivalent to about RMB 5.9 billion) due to the increase of labor cost, pension expenditure and debt cost, and the severity of "income not meeting expenditure" set a historical record. By 2021, this figure is expected to exceed 1.1 billion US dollars (equivalent to about 7.7 billion yuan).

The picture shows that Chicago’s pension liabilities ranked first in the United States in 2014. Source: Chicago Tribune

In the face of financial problems, the Chicago municipal government did not come up with a reliable plan, and the plan of issuing $10 billion bonds proposed by the former mayor was stillborn.

To make matters worse, in 2014, Moody’s Investors Services, an international rating agency, downgraded the credit rating of $388 million bonds issued by Chicago from "A3" to "Baa1" and set the outlook of Chicago as "negative".

[Note: In Moody’s credit rating, the "A3" level indicates that the enterprise’s credit degree is good, and its financial strength and asset quality are average and it has certain strength. "Baa1" level means that the city’s credibility is average, and various economic indicators such as assets and financial status are at a medium level, which may be affected by uncertain factors and have certain risks. 】

The damage to the city’s financial reputation has brought a series of bad consequences to Chicago. The deterioration of municipal services has caused more high-end industries and elites to be reluctant to enter, and poverty has led to crimes, and the vicious circle has continued.

The current predicament of Chicago is also a difficult problem to be solved urgently in many cities in the United States, and the "rust belt" is a typical representative.

"Rust Belt" refers to the traditional industrial areas in the Northeast, Midwest and Great Lakes regions of the United States, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin.

The picture shows the American "rust belt"

These areas are the heart of American manufacturing. Oil refining in Ohio, automobile industry in Michigan, metallurgy in Pennsylvania and steel industry in Illinois were once the pride of American industry. However, under the background of globalization, the traditional manufacturing industry has launched fierce global competition, and cheap steel and manufacturing products from developing countries in Asia have had a strong impact on the economic structure of the "rust belt" States.

In 2013, Detroit, the "rust belt", was officially approved by the bankruptcy law. At that time, the city’s debt exceeded 18 billion US dollars (equivalent to about 110 billion yuan), making it the largest bankrupt city in American history.

Looking back at Detroit’s bankruptcy road, in fact, many "causes" are what Chicago is facing.

First, the expenditure on municipal projects is still huge, and the government’s fiscal revenue is too single.

Second, the competitiveness of traditional manufacturing industries has declined.

Third, racism is still prevalent and gang conflicts are still fierce.

Of course, it is not only the "rust belt" that faces the "urban crisis". In October 2017, the US financial website "Zero Hedge" published "Where is the next American city to file for bankruptcy? The article said, "If you live in these’ red’ cities, it may be time to start looking for another home."

As can be seen from the picture, these "red" cities include Oakland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin, Houston, Atlanta and Pittsburgh, and cities such as San Antonio, Sacramento and Dallas are second only to "red".

Where should these declining cities go?

In 2017, Trump, who was about to succeed Obama as president of the United States, shouted to rahm emanuel, then mayor of Chicago and former White House chief of staff of Obama, meaning: If you can’t manage it well, let my government manage it for you. Now that more than two years have passed, the situation seems to have not improved, and the mayor has changed, and Trump’s trip actually has a number of "tasks." During the meeting on the 28th, he signed an executive order to set up a "presidential committee" in the local area to directly intervene in the management of crime and law enforcement in Chicago. According to the Chicago Tribune, the committee’s functions include studying the causes of criminal activities and providing practical suggestions on police training and police assistance.

However, the "opposition" between Trump and Chicago is, in the final analysis, a huge conflict of political ideas. As mentioned above, Chicago is one of the famous "asylum cities" in the United States, which means that the city will refuse to implement the federal government’s immigration policy to a certain extent and protect foreigners living illegally in the United States, while the Trump administration pursues a tough immigration policy; For another example, Chicago, which is controlled by the Democratic Party, claims to have the strictest gun control laws in the United States, which is often slammed by the Republican government with guns. In the latter’s view, the rampant gun violence in the city just shows that the gun control policy is not effective. For Trump, Chicago can almost be regarded as a "failure model" for the Democratic Party’s governance.

"He (referring to Trump) should listen to public opinion, understand the status quo and see what he can do to help … If he just comes to’ get money’, he might as well stay in the White House." Faegri, an anti-gun violence activist, said so. Whether Trump can really help Chicago is still unknown.

Faw Pentium five good cars pony cute and hard core.

Micro-electric vehicles are rare in the streets of the north, but in the south, you will find that it is basically the world of micro-electric vehicles, and it shows a situation of a hundred flowers blooming. You can see Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, Geely Panda MINI, Chery Little Ant … All domestic cars move around the streets flexibly and become big toys for contemporary young people. FAW Pentium also decided to join this field, bringing a new car Pentium pony. As the name suggests, the Pentium brand hopes that the Pentium pony can bring fun-filled car life to young consumers with its cute, smart, lively and friendly image and loyal and reliable quality.

[Cute] The Pentium Pony adopts the mainstream design style of the same level in appearance, and the body adopts a square box shape. The two headlights at the front of the car seem to be big eyes, which together with the brand logo in the central position and the circular plaque on the front bumper outline a very round and lovely front face. The side roof, rearview mirror and side skirt are designed with contrasting colors to increase the layering. The tail shape echoes the front face, and it is equally embarrassing. Combined with the lovely cartoon interior, the Pentium pony exudes a lovely atmosphere inside and outside.

[Variable] In order to cater to the aesthetic trend of the new generation, Pentium Pony brings a variety of interior and exterior decoration color schemes. The exterior provides 6 lovely fruit car colors, such as Xiaoqing lemon, small cherry, small grape, blueberry, small lychee and pearl lychee, and the interior provides 5 fresh color schemes, such as Tiffany green, cherry blossom powder, glass blue, clear sky blue and time gold. Feel free to match your favorite colors, and the tide is changeable.

At the same time, the seat of the Pentium pony can be flexibly adjusted. The petite body adopts a three-door and four-seat layout, and the rear seats support proportional tilting. After tilting, you can get a large flat space of 300 liters, which is convenient for storing large items.

[Playable] We can easily feel the "playable" attribute of the new car through the internal cockpit of the Pentium pony. The whole center console is like a large game machine, and all the knobs and buttons of window switch, air conditioning control and radio control are designed on it. Then, a Lego building block splicing platform is set above the center console, which can be turned into a mobile phone bracket, or DIY to build instrument table ornaments with different themes.

[Reliable] In addition to the personalized design, Pentium Pony insists on practical and safe quality. Equipped with full LCD instrument panel, built-in reversing image function, the whole system comes standard with main driver airbag and new generation EPS steering system, which is helpful for safe driving and novice control. Another intimate design is that Pentium pony puts the glass water filling port under the front face charging interface cover plate, and it is convenient to add glass water without opening the front hatch cover. Power adopts rear single motor layout, with the maximum power of 20kW, which is suitable for urban transportation.

[Modifiable] A car, a style. In order to facilitate the user’s modification, Pentium Pony has reserved a lot of modification space in the body design, and will provide official modification parts later, so that users can complete the modeling modification at low cost as far as possible. At the previous auto show, Pentium Pony exhibited three modified versions, including the convertible top-cutting shape, which was very eye-catching.

The convertible version presents a very dynamic and cool visual effect under the blessing of laser-sensitive car film and integrated spoiler-tailed racing seat. The moderator of the game player plays the trend punk, and the elements such as metal brushed texture car film, roof suitcase and mirror wheel hub are quite rock-and-roll. PUPU’s co-branded model takes the cute pet style, and the gradual car clothes, multiple blade wheel covers and Q version of the rocket’s double tail turn into a passionate little black mask.

Write it at the end

The mini-electric vehicle market will be on fire because it can meet the short-distance travel needs of most ordinary people. High-frequency car scenes, such as commuting, sending children to school, and daily shopping, all need an economical and flexible car to complete. It may not be luxurious, it may not have that much space, but it must be low in car cost and small and easy to park.

Above all, Pentium pony has done it. Moreover, it gives more emotional value on the basis of practicality, and users can even regard it as a high-quality big toy with cost performance and attitude towards life. It is really a five-good car for healing. At present, the new car is still in the blind ordering stage, and it is expected to be listed as soon as possible.

Diploma, Skills and Status: Why should we go to college if the knowledge we have learned is useless?

The college entrance examination in 2018 has ended, and 9.75 million candidates have left the examination room. The next stop for many people is the university. The importance of entering a good university for young people is well known. However, with the news of "the hardest employment season in history" appearing in newspapers every summer, people’s doubts about university education are also increasing.

The mismatch between the needs of enterprises and the quality of job seekers is one of the biggest questions about the value of university education today. When Yu Lizhong, the president of nyu shanghai, was teaching at East China Normal University, he once met an entrepreneur who laughed at college students like this: "I hired a college student who can’t use the copier or send faxes. Why do we need such a person?" Yu Lizhong responded, "No university, no major can train the talents needed by an enterprise. Anyone’s development must be in the job to truly meet the requirements of the post. "

In fact, as early as 1979, Randall Collins, a famous American sociologist, found that the content of university education was not determined by technical requirements, and most skills (even the most advanced skills) were learned at work or through informal networks. In addition, the relationship between students’ school performance and career success is weak, which also means that the training of practical work skills in schools is extremely ineffective. So, is it really useful to go to college?

In the book "Diploma Society", Collins tells us that in a diploma society with "inflated academic qualifications" (meaning that as more and more people get higher degrees, the demand for education level in jobs is also rising), education actually creates artificial obstacles for social mobility; However, for those young people who want to engage in mental work and occupy a better position on the social ladder, entering the university is probably still the best choice they can make. This is because education level is an important means to distinguish managers from manual workers. People may not learn any practical skills in universities, but universities, as an important place to accumulate cultural capital, still give college students the cultural resources they need to engage in white-collar work.

Collins first used data to show that modern society is not strict with the ability of many jobs, and most organizations can spend less than three months retraining their employees. Moreover, formal education is rarely used in retraining, and even if it is used, 90% of institutions can complete it within three months.

When the ability — — More specifically, it is job skills — — When it is not the decisive factor of employees’ quality, employers must turn to other aspects to determine who is more suitable for them. Therefore, the importance of normative control is highlighted, that is, whether employees conform to organizational goals and values and are loyal to the organization is an important criterion for employers to select talents. Many research evidences show that employers will use education as a means to choose employees with middle-class characteristics, and they tend to think that dropouts who have not completed the orthodox education track are unreliable and lack satisfactory personality and behavior.

In a survey of organizations in California in 1967, Collins found that employers rarely take the initiative to lower the requirements for employees’ education level unless there is an extreme shortage of labor, and once this requirement for education level is established, it will only increase. For example, employers use education to regulate and control the selection scope of job seekers, which is an important reason for the popularity of business administration degrees — — It is found that although employers generally doubt the value of business school education for practical work, they also tend to think that business school education represents college students’ willingness to do business and basic business values.

Therefore, Collins pointed out the status relationship between education and occupation. Education itself reflects a certain group culture and shapes a certain group’s sense of belonging. When this group culture and sense of belonging are consistent with the requirements of employers, the value of education is very high. The importance of prestigious schools is formed in this way: when the students trained by elite education of prestigious schools conform to the culture and values of elite occupations, more and more graduates of prestigious schools will begin to control elite occupations, which in turn strengthens the connection between elite schools and elite cultures. Therefore, we can see that domestic graduates of 985, 211 and double first-class universities have become the hot cakes in the eyes of employers, and foreign Ivy League graduates have their own aura of "winners in life" and are proud of the job market.

Even if your requirements for finding a job are not so high that you are not discouraged by top employers in the industry, as long as you want to do mental work comfortably in the office, a college degree is to a large extent something you must get. Collins found that there is a promotion gap between unskilled and service jobs, technical jobs and foreman jobs. "Employers generally believe that manual labor and non-manual labor (as well as clerical jobs) are closely isolated from each other, although there are broad opportunities in these two categories."

"Culture can shape a person’s self-image, set emotions, reshape the past reality and create new reality at the spiritual level." Collins wrote in the book. According to Max Weber, cultural resources are the foundation of relational communities, which have a set of shared symbols and ideologies, and help people who have these things in common to establish relationships. In the workplace, cultural resources may refer to job requirements, corporate culture and values, market insight, industry experience and so on.

Cultural resources can be produced through daily interaction (for example, gaining some industry experience in work and practice) or through specific organizations — — The school is such a professional cultural production organization, and it is often able to produce new cultural forms with ease. "Partly because the competition for the control of cultural production organizations and internal crisis will take its products in a new direction, and partly because its members will absorb culture full-time and consciously, which makes them form more sophisticated skills."

In Collins’ view, schools are particularly important for the formation of a new organizational structure, which not only helps to establish the traditional gentry class in China, but also helps to establish the professional field in contemporary America. As a formal cultural production institution, the importance of school is that formal culture can make individuals who have nothing in common establish contact at a relatively fast speed. The key here is whether there is some universal criterion to measure individual value quickly. Therefore, the formal cultural production organization needs to make its cultural products become a measurable currency similar to the unit of value. In the context of schools, this is the source of achievements and diplomas. They appear as a summary of the quality of cultural products (students) and give individual value in a quantitative way. Collins pointed out that the value of this currency also fluctuates with the change of supply and demand, so we see that more and more people are sighing that "it is difficult for undergraduates to find jobs" — — When the number of undergraduate graduates goes up year by year, the value of the currency of undergraduate education obviously goes down year by year.

It is worth noting that the emergence of the "white-collar" class is even closely related to the education diploma. In industrial society, the maturity of machine and organizational art can make everyone live comfortably with relatively little physical labor, which means that simple physical labor can no longer meet the employment needs of most people in the whole society. Those who agree with the technical control theory believe that technological progress has promoted the vigorous development of mental jobs, while Collins believes that the fallacy of the technical control theory lies in its misunderstanding of the premise of occupational differentiation in industrial society. He said that many jobs labeled as "mental work" are actually "idle jobs" based on simple work, in order to alleviate the political pressure brought by people who want to work.

"White-collar" jobs are far from real material production, and their output is difficult to be measured by objective standards. Therefore, professional and technical degrees fill the gaps in standards, subdivide the field of mental work more and more professionally, and create more and more jobs. Collins said, "Therefore, the expansion of the cultural market can make more people rely on ‘ Politics ’ Department (‘ Idle department ’ ) life, they obtain material products through the ruling structure rather than the production structure itself. "

As early as the end of the 19th century in the United States, educators pointed out that orthodox school education is not beneficial to the cultivation of vocational skills, and systematic vocational training should be used to cultivate talents needed in the workplace. After the end of the Civil War, American society rapidly industrialized. Calvin Woodward, a graduate of Harvard University and dean of the Vocational and Technical College of Washington University in St. Louis, opened a handicraft labor training high school to replace the traditional vocational-independent education system. At the beginning of the 20th century, the promoters of vocational education began to set up separate secondary vocational and technical schools and projects for the working class. However, vocational education has never been successful.

One of the reasons has been pointed out in the previous article — — Since vocational skills can be acquired at work, what is the value of school education that only provides pure vocational skills training? The more important reason is that students are opposed to replacing middle-class cultural education with handicraft training, because the latter can bring them social mobility and improve their social status.

In Collins’ view, the education provided by a university is not designed to cultivate practical skills, but its importance lies in its power to issue diplomas, and people are eager to obtain the status symbolized behind diplomas. Cornell University, Johns Hopkins University, Princeton University, Harvard University and other universities have successfully passed the crisis when people questioned the value of traditional education. It is precisely because they changed the curriculum and introduced many courses in science, modern language and literature, social sciences and vocational fields outside the classic courses, and claimed that they could cultivate political elites with liberal arts knowledge and public manners.

For students, this has become the most important motivation to enter the university. What they value is not the experience provided by universities, but the social experience that universities can bring and the possibility of joining cultural elites. Collins even pointed out that the social culture of universities plays a key role in attracting students: "University culture undertakes the function of bringing together middle and upper class children;" The feelings generated in university activities make them friends, and finally they go to the right marriage. " In fact, the famous Ivy League originally refers to the sports league of eight private universities in the northeast of the United States, but today, it has become synonymous with excellent academic level and social elite.

"By constantly telling the public that education can lead to elite status and by providing opportunities for social mobility, universities attract most people in the crowd who can get the opportunity to enter the elite." To a great extent, it is a serious misunderstanding of the existence of higher education institutions to require universities to popularize vocational education, because if only skills training is emphasized, universities will lose their main value — — Get cultural capital and join elite groups — — The danger.

From this point of view, in the foreseeable future, we will still live in a diploma society and have no choice.

Carry forward the Great Long March Spirit and Walk Today’s Long March Road

  Carry forward the Great Long March Spirit and Walk Today’s Long March Road

  — — Experts and scholars discuss the important speech made by the Supreme Leader General Secretary in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March.

  Victory of Marxist ideals and beliefs

  Sun Xiguo, Executive Dean and Professor of Peking University Institute of Marxism

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the meeting commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March that the Long March is a great expedition of ideals and beliefs, a great expedition to test the truth, a great expedition to awaken the people and a great expedition to create a new bureau.

  On October 21st, Wang Feng (fifth from the right), instructor of the new training squadron of Chuzhou detachment of Anhui Armed Police Corps, was telling the history of the flag of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army for the new soldiers. Bright pictures/vision china

  I think this expedition really established and practiced a great ideal and firm belief, which is the belief of Marxism, the ideal of socialism and communism. This great expedition tested a truth, that is, the truth of combining Marxism–Leninism’s basic principles with the concrete reality of the China revolution and independently solving the major problems of the China revolution. This expedition awakened the people in China and made the people in China deeply realize that the Communist Party of China (CPC) is a party that works for the people’s interests. What she wants to do is to make the people in distress live a good life, and the road she wants to take is the road for the people to turn over and be liberated. It is precisely because of the belief in Marxism, the discovery of the truth of Marxism, and the awakening of people’s awareness of the political parties established under the guidance of Marxism — — Only with communist party’s understanding can a new pattern of China revolution be created, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the new-democratic revolution be won, and a new socialist China be established.

  Spirit is the soul and blood of a nation. The spirit of the Long March is the spirit nurtured by the party and the people in the great revolutionary struggle. A nation that doesn’t remember its route is a nation that has no way out. Today, our best commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Long March is to strengthen the ideals and beliefs of Marxism, carry forward the spirit of the Long March, firmly remember the road we have traveled, firmly remember why we started, always put the interests of the people in the supreme position, and contribute to a better life for the people.

   There is faith in the heart and strength under the feet.

  Liu Feng, Director of China Leadership Science Research Center of National School of Administration.

  The important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary in commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March pointed out: "There is faith in the heart and strength at the foot; Without unbreakable ideals and beliefs and the strong support of lofty ideals and beliefs, it is unimaginable to win the Long March. "

  The Long March is a process in which the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s "initial heart" is constantly formed, his ideals and beliefs are clearer, and the mission of our party is clearer. The Long March has made our Party more conscious and confident. Why are communist party people not afraid of bloodshed? Why is the Red Army not afraid of sacrifice? It is because they have always believed that the revolution will surely win, and the lofty ideals will surely be realized if generations make sacrifices for it.

  Eighty years have passed, and the powerful spiritual power produced by generate in the Long March has crossed time and space, and the spirit of the Long March has been deeply integrated into the blood and soul of the Chinese nation.

  Now, our party is leading the people in a great struggle with many new historical characteristics, and is promoting the overall layout of the "five in one" as a whole and the "four comprehensive" strategic layout in coordination. We must conscientiously study and implement the spirit of the speech delivered by the Supreme Leader General Secretary in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March, take a good road of the new Long March, and contribute to the realization of the goal of "two hundred years" and the Chinese nation’s great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream.

   The firmness of ideals and beliefs comes from the firmness of ideological theory.

  Zheng Changzhong, Director of the Research Center for Party Building and National Development of Fudan University

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the meeting commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March: "The stone can be broken, but it cannot be won; Dan can grind, but not win the red. " The firmness of ideals and beliefs comes from the firmness of ideological theory. While the Chinese nation is constantly creating brilliant civilization, it has also continuously formed our national ideals, beliefs and ideological theories, and transformed them into important genes of national spirit. Since modern times, the situation that backwardness will be beaten has awakened the national awakening; On the other hand, it also promotes the development of national spiritual connotation. It is in this context that the Communist Party of China (CPC) was born.

  How to combine Marxism with China’s reality not only means whether the national spirit can develop smoothly, but also determines whether the Chinese nation can survive. This combination process was not smooth sailing, and the most tragic one was that the fifth anti-encirclement campaign failed due to the influence of "Left" dogmatism mistakes, and the Red Army was forced to start the Long March.

  However, it is also the Long March that, on the one hand, completely awakens the excellent genes in the national spirit; On the other hand, it also reshaped the national spirit, deeply integrated Marxism into the national spirit of the Chinese nation in ideals, beliefs and ideological theories, and forged the leadership core and organizational team that can practice and carry this national spirit. As a result, the Chinese nation began to move towards one victory after another, and the ancient national spirit was once again full of vitality, pushing the Chinese nation towards a great rejuvenation. In the new Long March, we will continue to carry forward the national spirit and strengthen the "four self-confidences" so that the Chinese nation will continue to develop and grow.

  Always breathe with the masses, share a common destiny and be heart to heart.

  Song Xueqin, a professor at China Renmin University.

  General Secretary Supreme Leader’s speech at the meeting commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March summed up the great significance and spiritual connotation of the Long March, which was very profound. Eighty years ago, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people started a difficult March for their ideals and beliefs and for the destiny of their country and nation. They crossed the snow-capped mountains, crossed the vast grasslands, waded across rivers, and all the way through the pass, out of the predicament of the China revolution and towards the future of national liberation. Eighty years later, we are still on the road, still struggling for the well-being of 1.3 billion people.

  Reform has entered the stage of tackling difficulties. Although there are no flames of war and cruel tests of life and death 80 years ago, our road ahead is still full of unprecedented challenges. It is urgent for us to strengthen our ideals and beliefs, stand up to setbacks and tests, and solve the problems on the new Long March with the spirit of the Long March.

  As the general secretary pointed out, the Long March was a great expedition to awaken the people. The Red Army won the battle, and the people relied on it. The broad masses of the people are the source of strength for the Long March and for building a well-off society in an all-round way today. The spirit of the Long March is the spirit of relying closely on the people, living and dying together with them, sharing weal and woe and working hard. On the new Long March, we must always remember that everything is for the people, we must always rely on the people, we must share the same breath with the masses, share the same destiny, and we must always put the interests of the masses in the first place, so as to push forward the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  Protect and inherit this precious spiritual wealth.

  Ouyang Xuemei, Director of the Third Research Office of Institute of Contemporary China, China Academy of Social Sciences

  In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The victory of the Long March is the victory of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people’s ideals and the Communist Party of China (CPC) people’s beliefs." The hardships, twists and turns and sacrifices on the Long March proved to the world that the ideals and beliefs of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people are indestructible.

  Now, we are closer to the goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history, and upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a long-term and arduous historical task, which requires us to make unremitting efforts. Strict administration of the party, firm ideals and beliefs, unity and unity are the keys for us to take the new Long March road well. Just like the Long March — — Harrison Salisbury, the author of an unheard-of story, said: "Reading the story of the Long March will make people realize once again that once the human spirit is aroused, its power is endless." Today, we should cherish, protect and inherit the precious legacy of that ideal and belief, take the new long March to achieve the goal of "two hundred years" and realize the Chinese nation’s great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream. We must strengthen the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and strive for the lofty ideal and belief with more tenacious perseverance.

  There is no end to the battle, and the Long March will never stop.

  Zhu Xiangqian, literary critic and former vice president of PLA Art College.

  The important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary made a comprehensive, systematic and profound explanation and refinement of the spirit of the Long March, which pushed the commemoration of the Long March to a climax. The speech not only expressed the deep memory and cognition of history, but also observed the reality, which gave all the people the most extensive education and enlightenment, showed the brand-new image and demeanor of a rising power, and showed the profound wisdom and responsibility of a leader of a big country.

  Eighty years ago, just after the Long March of the Central Red Army, Chairman Mao confidently and decisively wrote: "We Chinese people have the spirit of fighting bloody battles with our enemies to the end, the determination to recover the old things on the basis of self-reliance, and the ability to stand on our own feet in the world’s national forest." This tells the voice of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people and Red Army soldiers who fought bloody battles in the stormy and deep sufferings, and reflects the strongest theme of the times of the Chinese nation since 1840. Eighty years later, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader solemnly and proudly announced to the world that the long March of our generation is to achieve the goal of "two hundred years" and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and once again shouted out the strong voice of the Chinese nation in the 21st century at a major turning point after more than 30 years of reform and opening up. Today, there is no end to the fighting, and the long March will never stop. The Communist Party of China (CPC) people who successfully walked out of the enemy’s bullets will and must remember the inculcation of "Two Musts", carry forward the spirit of the Long March, overcome the "sugar-coated cannonballs" and all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, and lead the people of China, Do not forget your initiative mind, to move on and carry out the new Long March to the end.

   Strengthen four self-confidences and take the new long March road

  Mou Lei, Associate Professor, School of Marxism, Guizhou Normal University

  The Long March, an earth-shattering revolutionary feat, is a magnificent epic written by the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Red Army. It is a towering monument in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and has left us with precious spiritual wealth. Looking back on the past, the long March of our generation is to realize the goal of "two hundred years" and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In his speech commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "To carry forward the great Long March spirit and take today’s Long March road well, we must strengthen Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence and cultural confidence, and strive to win new victories in Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s great cause." This important exposition points out the direction for us to move forward.

  To follow the new great long March of upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics, realizing the goal of "two hundred years" and the Chinese nation’s great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream, we can neither take the old road of being closed and rigid, nor take the evil road of changing the flag. Our career prospects are bright, but there are still many new "snow-capped mountains and grasslands" to be crossed by Qi Xin, and many new "Loushan Dangerous Pass" and "Dadu Tiesuo" to be conquered bravely. This requires us to closely combine the timeless spirit of the Long March with the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, guide the broad masses of cadres and people to strengthen their road self-confidence, theoretical self-confidence, institutional self-confidence and cultural self-confidence, constantly build a common ideological foundation for the United struggle of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, and work hard and continuously to write new victory epics.

  Promoting the process of strengthening the army with the spirit of the Long March

  Li Tao, Associate Research Fellow, Department of Military History and Encyclopedia, Academy of Military Sciences

  In his speech commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed the need to inherit and carry forward the spirit of the Long March and take the long March of our generation well. Deepening the reform of national defense and the army is the only way to improve the combat effectiveness of our army, and it is also a key measure to determine the development and growth of our army and win the future. To build a strong people’s army, the driving force is reform, and the way out is also reform. We must vigorously carry forward the spirit of the Long March, take the goal of strengthening the army as the guide, promote the great process of strengthening and rejuvenating the army in deepening the reform of national defense and the army, and provide a strong guarantee for effectively fulfilling the historical mission entrusted by the party and the people, and realizing the goal of "two hundred years" and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  We must earnestly build the soul of a strong army that listens to the party’s command. To carry forward the great spirit of the Long March is to keep a clear head, a firm stand, a clear attitude and a firm action on this fundamental principle, to hold fast to political army building and not relax, and to strive to cultivate a new generation of revolutionary soldiers with soul, ability, blood and morality. At present, the international environment is complicated, and the security situation around China is becoming increasingly severe. We must firmly hold on to preparing for war, strengthen the thinking of officers and men to fight as soldiers, lead troops to fight, train and fight, strengthen practical military training, improve the ability and quality of fighting, and build a world-class army commensurate with China’s international status and compatible with national security and development interests.

  "Water can carry a boat and overturn it."

  Liu Bo, Associate Professor, Teaching and Research Department of Army Construction and Army Political Work, National Defense University

  In his important speech commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader warned the whole party: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." On the new Long March, the whole party must bear in mind that the question of why people rely on whom is the touchstone to test the nature of a political party and a political power. The victory of the Long March cannot be separated from the heartfelt support and support of the people along the way. During the Long March, the Red Army created many miracles to save the day, all of which were saved by the support of the people. The battle of Dadu River is the most classic example. When the Red Army crossed the river, it coincided with the flood period in summer. The Dadu River was more than 100 meters wide and the water was rushing and the waves were high. Almost at the same place, the Taiping rebels led by Shi Dakai crossed the river in hundreds of boats, but all of them were submerged in the stormy waves. However, the Red Army, with only 18 warriors, attacked the enemy with a lone boat, and succeeded in crossing the river and defeating the enemy. The reason for the different endings is that the Shi Dakai Army lost the hearts of the people, while the Red Army fulfilled the purpose of serving the people, "sharing weal and woe with the people", so it won the support and help of all ethnic groups.

  The deepest foundation for the victory of the war exists among the people, and a period of history with profound implications is so vividly concentrated on the Red Army ship and in the battle of Dadu River. Taking history as a mirror, if we want to carry forward the Long March spirit and pass it on from generation to generation, we must keep in mind the spirit of the General Secretary’s speech, never forget the people, never be divorced from them, always maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people, and always accept the criticism and supervision of the people. Only in this way can our party always win the trust and support of the people, and our cause always maintain its source of strength.
