  editorial comment/note

  The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the traditional Chinese festival "Double Ninth Festival", and it is also the "China Elderly Festival". In recent years, China’s population aging presents the situation and characteristics of large quantity, fast speed, great difference and heavy task. The state has issued a series of development plans, and defined the strategic objectives and implementation steps of active aging. The language life of the elderly is related to their quality of life and physical and mental health. It is the basic condition for the elderly to enjoy a happy old age and needs more social attention.

  Li Na/painting

  Aging has a global trend in contemporary times; Caring for the life of the elderly is a topic of universal significance. China is a country with a large population of elderly people, with the population over 60 years old reaching 260 million. The fourth sampling survey on the living conditions of the elderly in urban and rural areas of China shows that the living conditions of the elderly in China are generally good. The family status of the elderly is relatively stable, and their independence and discourse power are high; Living conditions are good, most of them have independent rooms, and the electrical equipment in the rooms is relatively modern; There are various leisure ways, including traveling, chess and cards, reading books and newspapers, walking and chatting, planting flowers and keeping pets, etc. Neighborhood relations are harmonious, and they often walk around and help each other.

  The above survey reflects the overall living conditions of the elderly, but it still lacks the necessary attention to the language life, the core content of the elderly life. Language life, in short, is all kinds of social activities and personal activities carried out by using language as a bridge. The quality of language life has an important influence on the living conditions, quality of life, mental state, mental health and physical and mental pleasure of the elderly.

   Language living conditions of the elderly

  In order to understand the real language life of the elderly, the author’s research group conducted a survey in more than 30 cities and rural areas in Jiangxi, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Chongqing and other provinces and cities in August 2022, and received 455 valid questionnaires. Among the questionnaire samples, 48% were male and 52% were female. Rural areas account for 46%, and urban areas account for 54%. Among them, 31% of urban elderly people come from rural areas to cities to help their children look after their children and do housework. 30% are 60 ~ 65 years old, 25% are 66 ~ 70 years old, 18% are 70 ~ 75 years old, 11% are 76 ~ 80 years old, 11% are 81 ~ 85 years old, and 5% are over 86 years old. Primary school education or below accounts for 60%, secondary school education (technical secondary school) education accounts for 31%, and university education or above accounts for 9%. On the whole, the respondents are low-educated and most of them are under 80 years old.

  The survey found that there are some obvious deficiencies in the language life of some elderly people. In terms of language ability, most elderly people do not have language barriers in social interaction, but there are still 37% elderly people who often have language barriers caused by dialect differences in interpersonal communication outside their families. In terms of communication objects, the communication objects of the elderly in their daily lives are mainly middle-aged and elderly people, and the communication with young people, especially teenagers, is obviously insufficient. 83% of the elderly rarely communicate with teenagers, and 60% of the elderly even communicate with their children and grandchildren. 70% of the elderly said there was a generation gap in communication with middle-aged people, and 88% said there was a generation gap in communication with teenagers. In terms of speaking time and willingness to communicate, 46% of the elderly said that the daily speaking time was less than before, and 43% of the elderly said that their willingness to actively communicate was lower than before. In terms of network communication, many elderly people will use their mobile phones for shopping, information inquiry, social chat, entertainment, etc., and 41% of the elderly people interviewed said that they only use their mobile phones to make phone calls and can hardly do anything else; The elderly who can use WeChat account for 47%, but only 5% can use Weibo, email and other network applications. The vast majority of the elderly (88%) are still used to using the telephone to communicate. In terms of understanding buzzwords and new words, only 1% of the respondents said they were familiar with them, and 84% said they basically didn’t know them.

  The survey results show that the limitations of the language life of contemporary elderly people are mainly as follows: cross-dialect communication is difficult, communication with younger generations is less, there is a generation gap with young people, the speaking time is reduced, the willingness to speak is reduced, digital products and new media are not familiar enough, and there is a distance between them and popular language and culture.

  Physical and mental changes are important constraints.

  Most elderly people are eager to keep up with the pace of language life, but some elderly people are unwilling to actively participate in social language life because of various objective conditions and subjective reasons.

  Physical aging leads to the decline of cognitive ability and language ability, such as listening, vision, memory, pronunciation ability, vocabulary retrieval ability, topic control ability, fluency of language output, complexity of syntactic use, accuracy of language understanding, etc., which all decline with age, which makes the elderly (especially the very old) have practical difficulties in language use in social communication.

  The change of social role has influenced the language living environment and wishes of the elderly. Everyone has to play many social roles in his life. These roles are usually arranged continuously, and each role is associated with a certain age or life stage. Aging will lead to the loss or interruption of some roles. For example, the elderly will change from the leading role of family, unit and society to a supporting role or even "no corner", which often becomes an important reason why some elderly people are unhappy or even self-enclosed. The elderly constitute a sub-cultural group. Members in the group can find a common language, and it is easier to know and realize themselves. However, there is a clear psychological distance from people outside the group, so the elderly often lack the subjective motivation to communicate with young people, and sometimes even deliberately avoid communicating with young people.

  In addition, many elderly people who go to the city with their children have problems such as unfamiliar environment, few social opportunities caused by dialect barriers, single conversation object and narrow conversation topics, which may lead to intangible isolation and inner loneliness of the elderly, thus making them lack of healthy and colorful language life.

  Work together to optimize the language life of the elderly

  Physical aging is a natural law, but the psychological state can be adjusted. Only by overcoming the obstacles of subjective psychology can the elderly live a good language life, and families and society need to create convenient conditions for the elderly to live a good language life.

  First, get rid of self-enclosed psychology and take the initiative to participate in communication.Old age is the most mature stage in life, with rich life experience and social experience, and accumulated a lot of tangible and intangible knowledge wealth. Schopenhauer, a philosopher, believes that the experience of the elderly gives them a holistic perspective to control the overall situation. Old people think comprehensively and deal with problems carefully, and can truly be far-sighted and far-sighted; The elderly are highly respected, deeply emotional and willing to contribute, and often become the core and pillar of units, collectives and families. The transformation of social roles has its objective inevitability. The elderly can actively participate in other forms of social interaction and reconstruct the new roles that are most suitable for them. This is the only magic weapon for the elderly to re-recognize themselves, maintain their vitality and improve their happiness index.

  Second, actively carry out study and training to improve language ability.The elderly can choose appropriate language learning and training contents and methods according to their own basic conditions and hobbies. The common ones are: (1) Reading poems and prose aloud, which will not only help to exercise the function of pronunciation system, but also cultivate the body and mind. (2) Persist in reading and analyze some long and difficult sentences properly, so as to enhance the language processing ability. (3) Insist on telling stories, exercise memory ability and improve narrative ability. (4) Learning a second language can delay the decline of cognitive ability and language ability of the elderly. Many surveys show that, as one of several non-pharmacological strategies to improve the aging process and reduce aging defects, language learning training is not only helpful to improve the cognitive function and self-esteem of the elderly, increase social opportunities, but also significantly improve the sense of accomplishment and happiness of the elderly. It is a very important psychological treatment and rehabilitation tool.

  Third, cross the digital divide and promote communication.Facing the dazzling application of mobile phones in the digital age, many elderly people fall into a deep digital divide, and travel, shopping, medical treatment, communication and access to information are greatly restricted. In fact, digital products also have their humanized side, and many mobile phone applications have launched old-age versions and large-character versions. Active use of digital products is of great help to the daily communication and language learning of the elderly, and can even become a "treasure chest" to delay aging. The elderly who have eliminated the digital barrier not only have a more convenient life, but also greatly enhance their self-confidence, and have a closer psychological distance with young people. For example, the elderly who often use friends circle and video chat have a fuller life, are more familiar with the joys and sorrows of young people, and also let young people know more about their hobbies, which invisibly enhances the feelings between generations.

  Fourth, multi-parties care together to optimize the language life of the elderly.Respecting and loving the elderly is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. An important way to practice the tradition is to help the elderly live a good daily life, including language life. In the family, young people should pay more attention to the psychological needs of their elders, introduce more anecdotes in life, and encourage the elderly to talk more and communicate more. If possible, they can also write memoirs, and don’t show boredom with the "nagging and nagging" of the elderly; Children and grandchildren who have lived in other places for many years can actively contact the elderly with the help of convenient modern communication means, which not only urges the elderly to talk more, but also makes the life of the elderly, especially the elderly living alone, less monotonous, and promotes the elderly to skillfully use digital products and promote the high-quality development of their language life. All enterprises, institutions and grass-roots communities should implement the national policy for the development of the cause of the elderly, provide convenient and suitable venues for the elderly, actively organize various cultural and sports activities for the elderly, and guide the elderly to go out often, make friends and chat more, so as to keep their body and mind happy. Academic circles should strengthen the research on the language of the elderly, explore the language characteristics of all kinds of elderly people and the language skills of communicating with them. In a word, the common care of the elderly by families, social organizations and academic circles is an indispensable external condition to ensure the elderly to live a good language life.

  The living conditions of the elderly are an important indicator to measure social governance and social civilization. Living a good language life for the elderly is the basic condition for the elderly to enjoy a happy old age, which not only requires the elderly to participate in social activities with a positive attitude and actively integrate into the ever-changing times, but also requires all sectors of society to pay attention to caring for the elderly and create a warm family and social atmosphere for the elderly. "Mo Dao Sang Yu is late, and the twilight is still full of sky." Old age is a long life course, and no one can bypass this journey. May all old friends enjoy this wonderful sunset happily.

Kong Yuanyuan: Youth Measured by Footprints






    Kong Yuanyuan, female, 39 years old, Han nationality, bachelor degree. He is currently the chief announcer of Handan TV Station.


    In 1991, Kong Yuanyuan took the lead in setting up the first olive green youth volunteer service station in Hebei Province. At the beginning of its establishment, she led a heart-to-heart volunteer performance team, used holidays to perform in the old Taihang area, gave condolences to factories and mines, sang songs in the garrison, and went to schools and streets to get together. They help the elderly and the disabled, help the lonely and the needy, and take the time to clean up street garbage, remove small advertisements posted on telephone poles, and raise money for recycling used batteries at service stations.


    Unforgettable touching scene in 1993: Kong Yuanyuan grew up beside her grandmother, who was a famous national first-class actress. The extraordinary experience of the old man taught her a lot about being a man. Therefore, she loves her grandmother the most. When grandma in Xingtai heard the news that she was dying, she had arranged a condolence performance for the next day. She knew that grandma who was dying must miss her very much at this time. However, as the leader of the performance group, how can she leave easily? She knows better in her heart how many days and nights of hard work and price everyone has paid for preparing this performance. When she was singing for the workers by the blast furnace, a telegram was sent to her hand, and she shed tears. She couldn’t see her grandmother who loved her and loved her, and even dreamed of seeing her. Her heart was broken …


    In 1995, she led a team to the countryside in the suburbs to give a condolence performance. Because it was a holiday, she took her children and came back late at night against the north wind. The child caught a cold carelessly, and had a high fever and convulsions at night, so that the ligament of the eye was slack, leaving a lifelong sequela. Kong Yuanyuan’s heart was broken again. She hugged her beloved son and burst into tears. She muttered guiltily, "Son, mom … I’m sorry, mom is not a good mom …"


    In 1996, a flood occurred in Hunan. After seeing the news on TV at the first time, she hurriedly led some volunteers to the disaster area by train to fight floods and rescue with the officers and men of the armed police. I was so eager to save my life that I didn’t have time to say hello to my family when I left in a hurry.


    In the fight against SARS in 2003, she risked her life and went deep into the front line of SARS. She raised more than 20,000 yuan to buy anti-SARS articles and sent them to the homes of five-guarantee households and low-guarantee households for condolences and distribution.


    In 2004, she went to the wind volcano area of Hoh Xil at an altitude of 5,300 meters, and devoted a month of her life to protecting the ecological environment of Hoh Xil.


    On July 12th, 2006, Kong Yuanyuan launched a large-scale environmental protection activity of "Love My Mother River-Walking Thousands of Miles to Fuyang" with the theme of "Strengthening Green Concept and Calling for Green Responsibility". She led more than 20 young female volunteers from Heilongdong, Gushan, Fengfeng Mining Area, the source of Fuyang River, through Xingtai, Hengshui, Cangzhou and Langfang to the estuary of Tianjin Bohai Bay, which lasted for 45 days and covered a journey of 1,520 Li. The activity was in the midsummer season, and they marched day and night in the scorching sun, fighting in the heat, flying in the Dai Yue, rain or shine. Picking up garbage along the way, entering factories, communities and residents’ homes to give speeches on environmental protection, salvaging floating objects in the river and distributing environmental protection leaflets. On the way, some players were caught in a heavy rain and had a high fever for several days, and some suddenly fainted when distributing leaflets in the scorching sun. Thanks to the timely rescue, they saved their lives … Zhou Qiang, then the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, gave important instructions to this activity and spoke highly of it, calling on college students all over the country to learn from Fuyang volunteers who traveled thousands of miles.


    On July 25th, 2007, Kong Yuanyuan once again led more than 20 female college student volunteers in the delegation to carry out the patriotic and public welfare action of "marching thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain", and walked across five provinces of Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui and Hubei for more than 40 days. Along the way, they have withstood multiple tests such as environment, body and psychology, but with their tenacious perseverance and perseverance, they overcame all difficulties and obstacles, challenged the limits one by one, walked the 3,000-Li journey to the Dabie Mountain step by step, and climbed the main peak of the Dabie Mountain … This activity, they visited the village for 43 times, gave speeches in military camps and schools for 32 times, distributed more than 100,000 leaflets, and paid tribute to 21 martyrs memorial halls. Visiting more than 100 people from the Old Red Army and Laoba Road … caused a strong response when passing through five provinces. The 15-meter-long ten thousand-person signature banner was densely filled with good wishes from people from all walks of life who loved the party and patriotism.


    Sixteen years of wind and rain, sixteen years of hardship and sixteen years of rough journey of voluntary service, Kong Yuanyuan and her olive green volunteers are fulfilling their due obligations and responsibilities for building a harmonious society with full enthusiasm and persistent spirit.

Is the price of pork still rising? Is there enough food stock? The authoritative response is coming!

  Beijing, August 14th (Reporter Li Jinlei) On August 14th, the National Bureau of Statistics released the economic data of China in July. How did China’s economy start in the second half of the year? Is the price of pork still rising? Is there enough food stock?

  Let’s look at the performance of the "troika" of consumption, export and investment.

  The growth rate of commodity retail sales changed from negative to positive for the first time in the year.

  With the return of fireworks, "buy buy Buy" is also speeding up.

  According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the market sales continued to pick up in July, with retail sales of 2,892 billion yuan, the growth rate turned from negative to positive for the first time in the year, with an increase of 0.2%.

  Online retailing continues to improve. From January to July, the national online retail sales reached 6,078.5 billion yuan, up 9.0% year-on-year, 1.7 percentage points faster than that in January-June.

  Export growth rate reached double digits.

  Data show that in July, the total import and export volume of goods was 2,927 billion yuan, up 6.5% year-on-year. Among them, exports were 1,684.6 billion yuan, an increase of 10.4%; Imports reached 1,242.4 billion yuan, up by 1.6%.

  The export growth rate in July not only set a record since the outbreak of the epidemic, but also was much higher than other major economies in the world, and it was also the highest since March last year.

  Fu Linghui, spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics, analyzed that foreign trade was better than expected in July, and exports achieved positive growth for four consecutive months, because China’s economic resilience and potential were huge, and its adjustment and adaptability were relatively strong. A series of policies to support foreign trade stability would play a positive role in stabilizing and expanding exports of foreign trade enterprises. Moreover, China has a complete industrial system, strong supporting capacity, strong ability to adjust and adapt to external changes, and the export of anti-epidemic materials plays a pulling role.

  The decline in investment continued to narrow.

  The data shows that from January to July, the national investment in fixed assets (excluding farmers) was 32,921.4 billion yuan, down 1.6% year-on-year, and the decline rate was 1.5 percentage points narrower than that in January-June; In July, the chain increased by 4.85%.

  Let’s look at the performance of two livelihood indicators: price and employment.

  Pork prices rose by 85.7%

  In July, the national consumer price rose by 2.7% year-on-year, an increase of 0.2 percentage points over that in June.

  Among the food, tobacco and alcohol prices, pork rose by 85.7%, fresh vegetables by 7.9%, grain by 1.6% and fresh fruit by 27.7%.

  It can be seen that the price increase of "Second Brother" is still high.

  The price of pork once fell back, why did it rebound again? Fu Linghui said that pork prices have risen. First, with the resumption of production, catering services have gradually recovered and pork demand has expanded; Second, the flood in the south in July had some adverse effects on pig production and transportation.

  Regarding the trend of pork prices, Fu Linghui said that from the survey, the number of live pigs is increasing quarter by quarter, but from the supply situation, the production and supply of live pigs are still in a tight balance, and the high price will last for some time. Generally speaking, it is unlikely that pork prices will rise sharply.

  Grain stocks are relatively sufficient.

  Regarding the grain price that everyone cares about, Fu Linghui said that China’s grain production has been stable at more than 1.3 trillion Jin for five consecutive years, and at present, the grain stock is relatively sufficient. This year’s summer grain harvest has also reached a record high, and the output of summer grain has increased by 0.9% over the previous year.

  Fu Linghui said that overall, agricultural investment has gradually increased in recent years, and there is still a good foundation for food stability. It is basic and conditional for food prices to remain stable throughout the year.

  The employment situation is generally stable.

  Employment is the foundation of people’s livelihood. Data show that from January to July, 6.71 million new jobs were created in cities and towns nationwide, an increase of 1.96 million less than that in the same period of last year.

  In July, the national urban survey unemployment rate was 5.7%, the same as in June; Among them, the unemployment rate of the population aged 25-59 was 5.0%, down by 0.2 percentage points; However, the unemployment rate in the youth population survey has increased.

  Fu Linghui reminded that the number of college graduates reached 8.74 million this year, a record high. In July, with the concentration of college students entering the labor market, they are 20 years old — The unemployment rate of people aged 24 and above (mainly newly graduated college students) is rising, which is 3.3 percentage points higher than that of the same period last year. We should attach great importance to the pressure of these key groups.

  Zhang Jinan, Minister of Human Resources and Social Security, recently pointed out that in the second half of the year, college graduates will continue to be encouraged to expand the scale of enterprise absorption, expand the scale of grassroots employment, expand the scale of further studies, and expand the scale of training and internship.

Indian stock market takes off, Indian investors lie flat.

There are fists all over your body, hitting you wherever you are.

India’s stock market is caste-based, and people are forced to eat by releasing water.

Today, Master He won’t talk about China, but about our old neighbor, India.

As the first stop of China’s mobile phone going to sea, we all know that domestic brands have set up branches in India, and a friend of CSI sells a domestic brand mobile phone in India.

Looking at the shocking epidemic cases in India in his circle of friends every day, CSI asked curiously, can business still be done in this environment now?

My friend sighed, because it is impossible to open up new channels because of the epidemic. The biggest problem of existing channel sales is that logistics is not smooth, and it is really difficult to complete KPI.

Csi quipped: Looking at this posture, it is estimated that there is no chance of promotion and salary increase this year.

However, my buddy seems to be able to shrug off, saying that he lost the mulberry in the east corner and took advantage of the epidemic to make some money by investing in the Indian stock market, which is also a subsidy for his family.

Csi was surprised that the Indian epidemic was so severe that the stock market could still rise.

After a curious inquiry, Lao He found that what he said was true. Both India’s SENSEX index (equivalent to the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300) and India’s NIFTY50 index (equivalent to the Shanghai Stock Exchange 50) not only hit new highs, but also doubled compared with the epidemic low.

Today, CSI: Why is the Indian stock market so hot?

01

Water release is fiercer than in the United States, and Indian banks dance.

In the face of the fact that India’s stock market has hit record highs, CSI is still full of doubts. The epidemic has hit all walks of life hard. Not to mention the initial outbreak of the epidemic last year, until the recent paralysis of India’s textile industry, there are frequent reports that the Indian epidemic has affected the global shipping market. The current situation in India is in stark contrast to China’s rapid resumption of work and production.

Combined with the global experience, none of the most favorable stocks, vaccine research and development, home office, and Internet giant India are touched. As for the manufacturers of gloves, masks, ventilators and other protective products, if India can produce enough of them, why do you need a dead duck to shut up and say that it is a commercial act while holding China’s aid?

What is more serious is that the number of confirmed cases in India is still as high as 100,000 every day, with 160,000 deaths in the past two months. In the past year, 100 million Indians lost their jobs, and in April this year alone, more than 7.3 million people in India lost their jobs.

Some readers here will be curious, who is the biggest star stock in Indian stock market? The answer is banking stocks.

At the beginning of the global outbreak on March 23 last year, the Indian stock index once fell by more than 10%, and the Bank of India immediately couldn’t sit still.

In just one week, the Bank of India cut interest rates by 75 basis points to 4.4%, and all banks lowered their RRR by 100 basis points to 3%. At the same time, it carried out a combined boxing rescue measure of 1 trillion rupees of QE.

India’s water release this time is not fierce. The amount of water released at a time is as high as 3.2% of GDP. Compared with Biden’s 1.9 trillion infrastructure plan, although the total amount accounts for 10% of GDP in that year, the plan will be completed in eight years, and it will cost 1.25% of GDP every year. What’s more, it is hard to say whether it can actually be spent that much.

India completely ignored these, and completed the great cause of catching up with the beauty of the Premier League in one day.

Compared with the intuitive performance that interest rate reduction means that the loan interest rate drops to reduce the burden on enterprises, RRR reduction may be a relatively unfamiliar vocabulary for many readers. Here is a simple science popularization.

The "quasi" in the RRR cut refers to the deposit reserve, which represents the proportion that banks need to deposit in the central bank to absorb deposits. The higher the reserve ratio, the less money banks can lend.

Therefore, the RRR cut means that banks can lend more, which is a policy tool to encourage banks to lend to support the economy.

Generally speaking, the RRR cut is a great positive for the stock market, and it is also true for the Indian stock market.

Compared with China’s deposit reserve ratio of 12.5% and India’s deposit reserve ratio of 3%, it is 76% lower. As you can imagine, Indian banks will be more open than China banks if they want to lend. As for whether they can really lend or not, investors don’t care about these things at present.

Driven by favorable conditions, Indian bank stocks began their respective rising shows.

State bank of india SBI, the largest in India, is about equal to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of India. Since the low point of the epidemic, it has increased by nearly three times, and the increase so far this year is as high as 55%. It can be said that elephants can dance.

As the second largest bank in India, ICICI, an Indian industrial credit investment bank, is mainly responsible for lending to the private sector because of its private enterprise nature. Although the private enterprises in India are bleak, it does not prevent its share price from doubling. This year, ICICI also rose by 55% compared with state bank of india and Qi Fei.

High-caste stocks are full, and low-caste stocks are like grass.

So are there any star stocks besides bank stocks in India?

Of course, both Tata Motors, Indian oil and gas company and Bajaj Finserv, India’s largest loan supermarket, were enthusiastically sought after by investors during the epidemic, and they also had a unified name-large-cap stocks.

Here is about the composition of Indian constituent stocks.

Among the constituent stocks of Indian stock market, banking and financial services account for the largest weight, accounting for 35.03%; Followed by energy (13.04%), IT(11.6%), consumer goods (11.17%) and automobile industry (11.02%). The weights of industries such as medicine, metals and telecommunications are all below 5%.

Is this structure very inconsistent? India’s pillar industries are not generic drugs, IT and consumer products, but banking and financial services.

Csi suddenly realized that it is no wonder that India has not set up a complete industrial system so far. It used to learn that American industry made a mistake and finance prospered the country.

Therefore, even if the operating rate of Indian pharmaceutical manufacturers is only less than 30%, India’s clothing exports have dropped by 20%. In the case that banking stocks account for one-third of the weight, as long as they keep rising, the life and death of the remaining 5,000 small and medium-sized listed companies in India’s stock market will be unknown.

So why are Indian investors so enthusiastic about large-cap stocks? The answer lies in the institutional setting of Indian stock market.

Although India implements the registration system, the Indian Securities Regulatory Commission will not restrict the companies to be listed, but India has a magical operation. If you want to go public, you need to go to the officially designated rating company for stock rating and disclosure before you can go public.

National Stock Exchange of India

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. China also needs to be rated when issuing bonds.

But if you think about it carefully, doesn’t this so-called designated agency represent the official opinion? In other words, when a company goes public, the official gives you a rating. If it can get 3A, it will naturally be sought after. If the rating is average, I’m afraid no one cares.

If you want to stand out among thousands of listed companies in India, if you don’t get a good rating, you will basically die at the starting point.

To put it bluntly, even the stock market in India is a "caste system"! Whether the stock is good or not is decided on the day of birth!

India-100 million people and 1.3 billion "cattle"

("Cattle" is a sympathetic expression of netizens.

Used to describe the actual living conditions of the people at the bottom of India)

However, these component companies have a great career, and their ratings will naturally not be worse. Newly listed companies are basically difficult to compete with them, and they will only divert companies with the same poor ratings. These companies with average qualifications can only accelerate the involution, resulting in their stock performance being even worse, and no one cares. Investors look at the investment in small-cap stocks and naturally switch to component stocks, forming a situation in which the strong will remain strong.

Predators cut leeks and run away, while retail investors are basically dead.

So the Indian stock market is hot, have the people got a piece of it? The answer is no!

According to the data released by the Indian Stock Exchange in 2018, there are only over 2 million Indian investors, and the latest investor data predicted by American investment banks is less than 3 million, even less than three thousandths of the population.

3 million! Maybe there are not as many investors as there are in Shenzhen. It’s ridiculous, okay!

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that 90% of India’s transactions are in cash, and it is not surprising that 99.7% of Indians are not shareholders.

Therefore, Indians who can afford to speculate in stocks are basically so-called people, not big capitalists or executives under capitalists.

Instead of doing business well, it is better to take advantage of the epidemic to sell badly, let the government throw money, speculate on the stock price, and make money. Private jets run for refuge in the beautiful world of Britain and the United States, which cares about the lives of ordinary people.

Compared with the stock market earning 250,000 yuan for a plane ticket, the price of 900,000 yuan for a charter flight is not worth mentioning for the rich in India. For example, Adal Bonavara, CEO of India Serum Research Institute, India’s largest vaccine manufacturer, fled directly by private jet.

Adal Ponavara

The ordinary people in India, even the poor stock market leek, are not qualified to be, and they are directly ignored by capitalists and left to fend for themselves.

Since the capitalists are rich and heartless, what is the Indian government doing?

As one of Trump’s best friends in the international community, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by Indian Prime Minister Mordech pretends to represent the interests of the people. From its name, it can be seen that it is in sharp contrast to the Indian National Congress Party, which represents the elite of the Indian establishment.

But in fact, Modi, as a political veteran, is no different from his colleagues in the Congress Party in kneeling on capitalists.

Compared with Trump, at least he really built the border wall. Modi is a complete hypocrite.

After rejecting the RECP agreement, Modi launched a 2 trillion fiscal stimulus plan in response to the epidemic, trying to promote economic recovery by supporting large enterprises to become bigger and stronger.

Boy, the epidemic situation is like this. I don’t want to save ordinary people, but I also subsidize big enterprises.

It is no wonder that the share prices of those constituent stocks have been rising like chicken blood this year. After all, they are the key targets of government support!

It can be seen that India is worthy of being a pro-son of Europe and America with national characteristics.

On the one hand, the stock market is rising every day, the market value is soaring, and the small stocks are bleak. I have learned enough about the endogenous logic of financial capital.

On the other hand, India has carried forward its own caste system tradition and directly put a stamp on the stock butt. There is nothing we can do about it, because the gap between the rich and the poor in India is so great that even leeks are barren, so we can only rely on involution to "cut in the middle".

Although India is now enjoying a boom, the Indian government’s fiscal deficit has reached 9.3% of GDP, and the epidemic situation in India has not been effectively controlled. The high valuation brought by the economic recovery advocated by the stock market is only the entertainment of 0.2% people. However, if India continues like this, how long can the myth of the stock market last?

I stepped on the thunder! Is the "regulation" of the home furnishing company reasonable to pay the final payment first and then install the cabinet?

  Zhejiang Online April 28th (Reporter Li Xinyi)Recently, Ms. Yang, who lives in Xihu District of Hangzhou, went online to Zhejiang."line explosion"The column broke the news, indicating that she had encountered a headache during the renovation. When the customized cabinet was installed, it could not be embedded because of its large size. However, due to the payment of the final payment to the home furnishing company in advance, the merchant said that she was irresponsible and unwilling to negotiate. Ms. Yang felt very helpless.

  Pay the final payment before loading the cabinet.

  Who will be responsible for the problem?

  Ms. Yang told Zhejiang Online reporter that in February this year, she signed a home customization order contract with Wuyuan Mubinsen Furniture Factory (Hangzhou Store), entrusting the company to produce and process "panel customized cabinets". It includes services such as door-to-door measurement, custom-made cabinets, and door-to-door installation. Both parties agreed that the total price of customized cabinets was 16,500 yuan. Ms. Yang paid 13,400 yuan to Wuyuan Mubinsen Furniture Factory (Hangzhou Store) in advance, and the remaining 3,100 yuan was to be paid after the goods arrived.

  However, after the customization of the cabinet was completed, the merchant asked Ms. Yang to pay the final payment first, and then go to the door for delivery and installation. "At that time, I felt that this was the overlord clause, and the goods had not yet arrived for installation. How can I collect the final payment in advance?" Hearing this request from the other party, Ms. Yang kept drumming in her heart, but she still had no choice but to pay the final payment.

  "I didn’t expect that there was a problem during the installation. One of the customized bookcases was too large, which made it impossible to install it in the corresponding area. This also means that this bookcase is invalid, and it is necessary to spend money to customize a small bookcase. " Ms. Yang said.

  Why is the size of the customized bookcase too large? Ms. Yang explained: "At that time, when the cabinet company came to measure the size, it did not measure all the data. One of the size data was measured by the designer (another company) who asked me to do the decoration design. As a result, the designer was not professional enough in this respect, and the measurement was wrong. Afterwards, the cabinet company did not personally check the size, but simply listened to others’ reports. "

  "The cabinet company said that it was not their responsibility and asked me to spend money again to order new bookcases." Ms. Yang said that she was very upset. "This is all because the final payment has been paid in advance, and they began to shirk after they took the money."

  "It is unreasonable to pay the final payment in advance"

  Industry insiders give defense.Step on the thunder "prompt.

  In the WeChat group established by the cabinet company, Zhejiang online reporters saw that they thought the problem was the decoration designer (another company) who helped to measure the data, insisting that the designer reported the wrong size, which led to the large size of the cabinet they made.

  So who is responsible for the mistake? In this regard, Zhejiang online reporter consulted He Meili, a lawyer of Hangzhou Kuangzhen Law Firm. "First of all, in the early stage, the cabinet merchants did not actually measure the size, but only listened to others’ reports. This is the responsibility of the implementer (merchant), and the customer does not need to bear the responsibility." He Meili said.

  In addition, in response to the problem of paying the final payment in advance, Zhejiang online reporter contacted the company, and the relevant staff said: "It is our company’s long-standing rule to pay the final payment before installation."

  He Meili analyzed that according to the contract signed by Ms. Yang and the company, both parties agreed to pay the final payment after the goods arrived. However, in the actual process, the cabinet company asked the lady to pay the final payment before receiving the goods on the grounds of "company regulations", which is unreasonable. According to the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, the renovation contract signed by both parties through equal and voluntary consultation has legal effect, but the "company regulations" of the company’s staff have no legal effect.

  At the same time, she also reminded that when signing this kind of contract, it is best to write these important details such as the time of paying the final payment, the delivery time, the handling fee of the high floor, and the liability for breach of contract into the contract, so as to remind the merchants to perform their duties, and to leave strong evidence of rights protection.

  "In the decoration industry, there is usually a certain degree of advance payment requirements for purchasing materials and paying workers’ services. However, it is not a reasonable practice for merchants to ask for payment in advance. The final payment should usually be settled after the completion of the project, so that the customer can ensure that the quality of the project meets the contract and the customer’s expectations. If the merchant forces the payment of the final payment in advance, the customer may lose the opportunity to check the quality and details of the project, resulting in related problems not being solved in time. " He Meili said frankly.

  In addition, Zhejiang online reporters also reported this problem to Zhejiang Consumer Protection Committee through the telephone complaints of Zhejiang consumers. Zhejiang Consumer Protection Committee reminds consumers: First, when choosing a home improvement company, we should shop around and try to choose a company with good reputation; Second, we must sign a contract, clearly stipulate important matters (such as the payment of the final payment), write verbal commitments into the contract, and clarify the liability for breach of contract; The third is to consult more professionals to understand the process and key links of home improvement, so as to prevent being missed or misled.

How does the history of the Party describe the process of smashing the Gang of Four?

        [Editor’s note]

        The 48-episode TV series "Deng Xiaoping at a turning point in history" was officially launched on CCTV 1 on August 8, which triggered a heated discussion among netizens. The drama broadcast that day involved the plot of smashing the Gang of Four. The Paper specially excerpted the relevant contents about this matter in the book History of communist party in China.

In October 1976, people from all walks of life in the capital gathered and marched, cheering and smashing the victory of the Gang of Four.

        

Hua Guofeng was aware of the danger of the Gang of Four usurping the Party.

        After the death of Mao Zedong, the Gang of Four stepped up their conspiracy to seize the supreme leadership of the Party and the state. While Mao Zedong was seriously ill, in late August, the gang of four’s best friend in Shanghai suddenly distributed weapons and stepped up the equipment of Shanghai militia, firing 74,220 guns, 300 guns and more than 10 million rounds of various ammunition in an attempt to make Shanghai a base for them to seize the highest power. After Mao Zedong’s death, their conspiracy became even more unbridled. On September 11th, Wang Hongwen set up another duty room in Zhongnanhai instead of the duty room of the Central Office, and informed the party committees of all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions that major issues should be reported to them in a timely manner in an attempt to cut off the contact between the CPC Central Committee and all localities and command the whole country by them. Jiang Qing tried her best to master the documents and materials kept by Mao Zedong. The Gang of Four also monitored Hua Guofeng’s actions. They secretly made many arrangements for Shanghai’s cronies. The Gang of Four manipulated some people in Tsinghua University, Peking University, Xinhua and other units to write "loyalty letters" and "persuasion letters" to Jiang Qing. Some people openly asked Jiang Qing to "serve as Chairman the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Chairman of the Military Commission" and "shoulder this heavy burden". Wang Hongwen made a standard portrait ready to be hung in the whole country, and ordered the literary and art circles to shoot films such as "Grand Festival".

        As the first vice-chairman of the CPC Central Committee and presiding over the work of the Central Committee, Hua Guofeng was aware of the serious danger of the Gang of Four usurping the party and seizing power, and thought that it was necessary to urgently seek countermeasures to remove this gangrene from the body of the party and the state. On September 11th, Hua Guofeng went to Li Xiannian’s residence and said: The struggle against the Gang of Four is inevitable, and now it’s time to solve it. Hua Guofeng also asked Li Xiannian to go to see Ye Jianying on his behalf and ask Ye Jianying for advice on how and when to solve the problem of the Gang of Four. On September 14th, Li Xiannian went to Ye Jianying’s residence, conveyed Hua Guofeng’s opinion and studied the matter with him. After repeated studies with Ye Jianying, Li Xiannian and Wang Dongxing, Hua Guofeng thought that the struggle against the Gang of Four was deadly and beyond the scope of normal inner-party contradictions and struggles, and decisive measures should be taken to solve them, but it was also necessary to avoid causing major social unrest.

 People’s Daily published forged dying entrustment.

        In order to create public opinion for coming to power, the Gang of Four forged a so-called dying order from Chairman Mao, which was "to follow the established policy". On September 16th, People’s Daily, Red Flag magazine and People’s Liberation Army Daily published editorials saying: "Chairman Mao enjoined us to’ follow the established policy’." "To follow the established policy is to follow Chairman Mao’s proletarian revolutionary line and various policies." They took "following the established policy" as the propaganda center at that time, occupied the main page in newspapers and periodicals, repeatedly publicized, raised themselves and attacked Hua Guofeng and others.

        The Gang of Four forged Mao Zedong’s dying "orders", which aroused Hua Guofeng’s greater vigilance. Compared with the three sentences written by Mao Zedong more than four months ago, on October 2, Hua Guofeng corrected this formulation in the "Speech by the Head of the China Delegation at the 31st Session of the United Nations General Assembly" submitted for review, and instructed: I checked it correctly, and I made three mistakes with Chairman Mao’s handwriting. What Chairman Mao wrote and what I conveyed to the Politburo were "to follow the past policy". In order to avoid further misinformation, I deleted it. However, Zhang Chunqiao instructed in this document: "The proposal will not be issued." Jiang Qing agrees with Zhang Chunqiao. On the one hand, the Gang of Four blocked the issuance of Hua Guofeng’s instructions to prevent the fraud of forging Mao Zedong’s dying "instructions" from being exposed; on the other hand, they instructed their writing team to concoct another article with a higher tone of "following the established policy". On October 4th, Guangming Daily published "Liang Xiao" article "Always Follow Chairman Mao’s established policy". The article said: "To tamper with Chairman Mao’s established policy is to betray Marxism, socialism and the great theory of continuing revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat." "Any revisionist leader who dares to tamper with Chairman Mao’s established policy will definitely come to no good end." The article is directed at leaders such as Hua Guofeng who presided over the central work.

        Around this time, the activities of the Gang of Four conspiring to usurp power were even more explicit. On October 1st, Jiang Qing made a speech in Tsinghua University, warning everyone: "There will be someone who will reverse his conviction for him", and said: "I also want to swear to you young people that you must exercise well and fight with them. Class struggle and line struggle are still long." On October 3rd, when Wang Hongwen spoke in Pinggu County, Beijing, he declared: "The Central Committee has revisionism. What will you do? Down! " "There may be Tang Xiaoping, Wang Xiaoping and the like in the future, so be alert!" "Look at revisionism with your eyes wide open."

The older generation of revolutionaries turned the crisis around

        Ye Jianying, Li Xiannian and many other revolutionaries of the older generation were deeply worried by the activities of the Gang of Four to usurp the party and seize power. Most of them are in a difficult situation, but they still exchange information through various channels and forms, put forward suggestions to reverse the crisis, and brew solutions to the problem of the Gang of Four. Hua Guofeng, Ye Jianying, Li Xiannian, Wang Dongxing and others, after careful consideration and repeated discussions, and with the consent of most comrades in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, decided to take measures to isolate and censor the Gang of Four.

        At 8 pm on October 6, Hua Guofeng and Ye Jianying convened a The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) meeting in Huairentang, Zhongnanhai, and informed Yao Wenyuan to attend. When Zhang Chunqiao, Wang Hongwen and Yao Wenyuan arrived in the conference room successively, they announced that they would be quarantined for review. At the same time, send someone to Zhongnanhai Jiang Qing’s residence to announce the implementation of the same decision. The evil gang of four was smashed in one fell swoop. At the same time, the Party Central Committee sent people to take over the central propaganda organizations controlled by the Gang of Four, such as Xinhua News Agency, china national radio and People’s Daily. At 10 o’clock that night, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held an emergency meeting of the Political Bureau, decided to smash the major issues of the party and the country after the Gang of Four, and unanimously passed the resolution that Hua Guofeng was appointed as Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Chairman of the Central Military Commission (to be ratified by the Third Plenary Session of the Tenth Central Committee of the Party).

        From October 7 to 14, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held a greeting meeting in batches in Beijing attended by the central party, government and military organs, the heads of provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government and major military regions, and reported the decisive measures taken against the Gang of Four and the resolution of the CPC Central Committee on Hua Guofeng’s appointment as Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Chairman of the Central Military Commission. The meeting exposed the conspiracy and crimes of the Gang of Four to usurp the party and seize power, arranged the important work of the party and the state after the downfall of the Gang of Four, and determined the policy of both solving problems and stabilizing the situation. On October 8th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made two decisions: First, establish a memorial hall for President Mao Zedong in Beijing, and move the crystal coffin containing Mao Zedong’s body into the hall, so that the masses can pay tribute to his remains. Second, publish the fifth volume of Selected Works of Mao Zedong as soon as possible, and prepare for the publication of The Complete Works of Mao Zedong.

Disintegrate the armed rebellion in Shanghai in advance

        After the backbone of the Gang of Four in Shanghai found out that Jiang Qing and others had been quarantined and censored, they immediately mobilized urgently in an attempt to launch an armed rebellion. They organized the command team, mobilized the militia, used a variety of guns and vehicles, concentrated a lot of materials and food, and deployed specific steps of armed rebellion, preparing for a final struggle to save Jiang Qing’s counter-revolutionary group. They are also going to publish a letter to the people of the whole city, and put forward slogans such as "Give me back Jiang Qing, give me back the Spring Bridge, give me back Wen Yuan and give me back Hong Wen". The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China anticipated the problems in Shanghai and took effective measures in time to control the situation in Shanghai. The plot of Jiang Qing’s counter-revolutionary group to launch an armed coup collapsed in an instant. After the plot of Jiang Qing’s counter-revolutionary group to instigate an armed coup in Shanghai was shattered, the people of Shanghai denounced the Gang of Four and swept the city.

        On October 18th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Notice on Wang Hongwen, Zhang Chunqiao, Jiang Qing and Yao Wenyuan’s Anti-Party Group Events" to the county-level party organizations, informing them of the crimes of the Gang of Four and Mao Zedong’s criticism of them since February 1974, calling on the whole party to unite closely and launch a struggle to expose and criticize the Gang of Four, and hoping that comrades who made mistakes, including serious mistakes, would wake up as soon as possible. The "Notice" also emphasizes: in the struggle, we should pay attention to policies, expand the scope of education, narrow the scope of attack, and treat people who make mistakes differently; The struggle against the Gang of Four is always carried out under the leadership of Party committees, and effective measures should be taken to eliminate factionalism.

“举国上下一片欢腾”

        粉碎“四人帮”的消息一经公开,全国各族人民欣喜若狂,举国上下一片欢腾。从10月21日至30日,全国29个省、市、自治区和人民解放军各部队举行盛大集会和游行,拥护党中央粉碎“四人帮”的果断措施,庆祝粉碎“四人帮”的重大胜利。工人、农民、解放军和学生代表纷纷发言,称颂粉碎“四人帮”是为党锄奸,为国除害,为民平愤。21日,首都北京150万军民举行声势浩大的庆祝游行。从清晨开始,一队又一队各界群众高举红旗,敲锣打鼓,从四面八方涌向天安门广场。天安门广场上红旗如林,歌声、锣鼓声、鞭炮声、口号声响成一片。人们载歌载舞,开怀畅饮,很多大中城市的烟花爆竹销售一空,大小商店的酒柜前排起了长队。有30多个国家和地区的电视台收录并播放了首都百万群众在天安门广场举行庆祝大会的实况。香港、澳门各界爱国同胞也举行了庆祝集会。关心祖国命运的海外华侨欢欣鼓舞,表示“心中的一块石头落了地”。

        Crushing Jiang Qing’s counter-revolutionary clique is a struggle carried out by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee in a special way under the extraordinary situation by carrying out the will of the Party and the people. This is a great victory achieved by the long-term struggle of the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country. Hua Guofeng, Ye Jianying and Li Xiannian played an important role in the struggle to crush Jiang Qing’s counter-revolutionary clique. The crushing of Jiang Qing’s counter-revolutionary clique realized the common will of the Party and the people, saved the Party, the country and the socialist cause in China from the crisis, and created the premise for realizing the great turning point of the Party’s history.

        Jiang Qing and others pushed the "Left" mistakes to extremes in the "Cultural Revolution" and committed countless crimes. From November 1980 to January 1981, Lin Biao and Jiang Qing, two counter-revolutionary groups that caused disasters to our country and nation during the "Cultural Revolution", were prosecuted by the the Supreme People’s Procuratorate Special Prosecutor’s Office and tried in public by the the Supreme People’s Court Special Court. The trial of two counter-revolutionary groups, Lin Biao and Jiang Qing, according to law is of great significance for the political life of the party and the country to turn into the legal track, and has achieved a historic turning point in restoring and rebuilding China’s judicial system.(History Research Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China: History of communist party, Volume II (1949-1978), History of the Communist Party of China Press, January 2011)

German defense minister visits India, focusing on $5.2 billion submarine project, hoping to strengthen military cooperation.

  [Cheng Shijian, special correspondent of Global Times in Pakistan] According to a report by Indian TV station in New Delhi, German Defense Minister Pistori Uss visited India on the 6th and held bilateral talks with Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, seeking to strengthen military cooperation between the two countries. This is the first time that a German Defense Minister has visited India since 2015.

  Pistori Uss said at a press conference that European countries lack the "will and channels" to provide weapons to India, and that India’s current arms imports are "too dependent on Russia, which is not in India’s national interest". He said that German naval ship supplier TKMS may participate in India’s bidding for the purchase of six submarines at a cost of US$ 5.2 billion. In addition, Germany also hopes to strengthen military cooperation with Indian navy and air force.

  According to Deccan Herald reported on the 7th, Pistori Uss went to Mumbai to visit the Indian Western Naval Command and India Mazagan Dock Co., Ltd., and attended the meeting between Mazagan Dock Co., Ltd. and TKMS. German newspaper frankfurter allgemeine zeitung reported that the two companies may sign a memorandum of understanding on submarine project cooperation.

  According to DPA, Pistori Uss called India "one of Germany’s most important partners in the region", and the German government sent a frigate to the Indo-Pacific region in 2021, and will deploy maritime forces in the region again in 2024, including a frigate and a supply ship. Singh said that with India’s rich and skilled labor force and Germany’s advantages in science and technology and investment, India and Germany can establish a "symbiotic relationship" in the defense field on the basis of common goals and complementary strengths. Singh also said that he plans to invite German companies to invest in the "defense industrial corridors" in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, and to incorporate Indian defense industry into the German military industrial system to increase the flexibility of the supply chain.

  India’s Firewire magazine said that Pistori Uss’ visit to India was ostensibly to persuade India to reduce its dependence on Russian armaments, but the actual purpose was that Germany hoped to win over some Indian markets in the field of defense.

  According to The Hindu, the day before meeting with Pistori Uss, Singh met with US Defense Secretary Austin in New Delhi on the 5th, which was Austin’s second visit to India since he took office as Defense Minister. The report said that the two sides discussed ways to further expand bilateral strategic contacts before Indian Prime Minister Modi visited Washington, and discussed some new defense industry cooperation projects.

  The Associated Press said that Austin’s visit coincided with India’s efforts to strengthen its defense industry by acquiring new technologies and reducing its dependence on imports, especially Russian imports. Although the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, Russia is still India’s largest supplier of military equipment.
