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) 

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially announced the Outline of National Integrated Circuit Industry Development Promotion.

  With the consent of the State Council, the Outline for Promoting the Development of National Integrated Circuit Industry is hereby promulgated as follows:

The high-end layout has achieved results, and Xiaomi 2023 has made a new starting point.

Winter is getting farther and farther away, people are good with spring, and everything can be expected. After experiencing many uncertain challenges, Xiaomi Group ran out of profit in 2022, and it is likely to usher in another wave of upside in 2023.

On March 24th, Xiaomi Group released its annual financial report for 2022. The financial report shows that in 2022, Xiaomi achieved a total revenue of RMB 280 billion and an adjusted net profit of RMB 8.5 billion. Innovative business expenses such as smart electric vehicles are RMB 3.1 billion, and R&D expenditure in 2022 increased by 23% year-on-year.

The macroeconomic downturn, global inflation, the impact of the epidemic, consumer demand has been seriously challenged. IDC, an international data company, reported that in 2022, China’s smartphone market shipped about 286 million units, down 13.2% year-on-year, the biggest drop ever. After a lapse of 10 years, the shipments of smart phones in China once again fell to the market below 300 million yuan.

In the face of extremely difficult market environment, Xiaomi has enhanced its brand competitiveness with high-end strategy in the past three years, and the promotion of high-end strategy has achieved initial results. According to the financial report, Xiaomi’s global smartphone shipments remained the third, reaching 150 million units, and smartphone ASP achieved three consecutive years of growth. The monthly active users of Xiaomi’s global smartphones also ushered in a record high. As of December 2022, the number of monthly active users of MIUI worldwide increased by 14.4% year-on-year to 582 million, and the sustained growth momentum presented and promoted the company’s resilient development.

At the beginning of this year, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, recently issued an internal letter saying that 2023 is a year for Xiaomi to start a new development cycle, and it is also the time for a series of profound changes to enter the deep water area. The group is at the starting line of a new stage.

According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, many economic indicators showed positive changes, and the economic recovery started. Guosheng Securities believes that consumer electronics will experience a weak demand side in 2022 and is expected to usher in a replacement cycle repair in the next two years. This year, Xiaomi Group launched a new business strategy of "paying equal attention to scale and profit", and built up a strengthened system capability, laying a solid foundation for the long-term development in the next 5-10 years, and fully preparing for a new round of outbreaks in the next 2-3 years.

High-end strategy has achieved initial results

With the low-end market share, China brand has occupied more than half of the global mobile phone market, which on the one hand makes the market scale, on the other hand makes the brand face the dilemma of positioning and profit, and seriously limits its innovation ability. Standing at an important turning point of high-quality economic development, high-end layout has become the general trend of the transformation and upgrading of China brands and China manufacturing.

In 2022, the average selling price (ASP) of Xiaomi’s global smartphones reached a record high, reaching RMB 1111. At the same time, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the smartphone ASP in Xiaomi mainland increased by over 14% year-on-year, and the shipment of high-end smartphones (RMB3,000 and above) accounted for 6.8 percentage points year-on-year. According to third-party data, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the sales volume of Xiaomi smartphones in Chinese mainland market ranked first in the price range of RMB 3,000-4,000, and second in the price range of RMB 4,000-5,000.

In view of the trend of younger and more entertaining consumption and the increase of female users, in July 2022, Xiaomi launched the first Xiaomi 12S Ultra equipped with two self-developed chips, namely, 澎湃 G1 and 澎湃 P1, to realize the combination of one-inch outsole and Leica image aesthetics, and to provide a brand-new mobile image experience for image lovers. In August 2022, Xiaomi launched a new generation of folding screen flagship Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 to help Xiaomi open the ultra-high-end market of folding screen. The "high-end stable price" strategy maintained by these two high-end models during their life cycle has effectively promoted the rise of Xiaomi ASP, and is also conducive to Xiaomi’s further promotion of high-end strategy.

At the end of 2022, Xiaomi teamed up with Leica to build the Xiaomi 13 series with self-developed chips, and with the new MIUI14 system, the smooth experience was improved by 60%. Under the blessing of aesthetics and algorithms, the image experience was even better. It is reported that the Xiaomi 13 series has been ranked first in the price range of RMB 4,000-6,000 in the Android camp in Chinese mainland market for 7 consecutive weeks. As of January 12th, 2023, the favorable rate of this series in JD.COM was over 99%, which attracted loyal powder and iron powder, and will also witness and promote Xiaomi to grow into a high-end brand.

Dare to invest in the long run

Since 2007, smart phones in China have developed for nearly 16 years. Being a brand lies in the morning and evening, and so does being a high-end brand. Long-term activists should lay out the present based on the future.

High-end products depend on high-end technology. It can also be seen from the financial report that even under the pressure of internal and external pressure in 2022, Xiaomi still attaches importance to research and development and dares to invest. In 2022, Xiaomi Group’s R&D expenditure was RMB 16 billion, up by 23% year-on-year, with a five-year compound growth rate of 38.4%. Xiaomi estimates that the total R&D investment in five years (2022 -2026) will exceed RMB 100 billion. By December 2022, the proportion of Xiaomi R&D personnel in the total staff has increased to nearly 50%, accumulating human resources for continuous development and innovation.

The technological innovation in the intelligent era is a multi-dimensional integration of cross-industry, cross-scene and cross-region. Xiaomi actively deploys smart phones, smart cars, robots and other fields. It is estimated that the total R&D investment will exceed RMB 100 billion in five years (2022 -2026), and a perfect talent incentive mechanism will be established. By the end of 2022, Xiaomi’s R&D personnel accounted for nearly half, and held a million-dollar technology award for four consecutive years.

China brand has enjoyed the dividend of digital development, but the appearance of high-end final results still needs to go through many tests. Firmly believe and persist in investment, there will be accumulation and opportunities.

Going to overseas differentiation strategic market

"The macro environment will gradually improve, and it will still take some time for a full recovery." Lu Weibing, president of Xiaomi Group, attended the telephone call for the first time, and said that 2022 will be a year in which Xiaomi’s ability will be reborn. Looking forward to 2023, Xiaomi will still have to "cross the cycle". Crossing the cycle is not an easy task. The high-end strategy promotes Xiaomi products and brands to leap upwards, go overseas and seek a bigger world in a wider and higher place.

According to Xiaomi Group’s financial report, 75% of the global shipments of smartphones in 2022 came from overseas markets. "Focus on steady operation and differentiate our strategic market", Lu Weibing stressed at the telephone conference that Xiaomi will promote high-end brand in key markets around the world. At present, China mobile phone manufacturers still rely on low-end models to achieve "scale" overseas. It is reported that the international version of Xiaomi 13 series has been released in March this year. Whether the high-end flagship of Xiaomi it represents can really "profit" overseas, I believe the market will give an answer soon.

In addition to mobile phone products, Xiaomi’s overseas Internet business grew strongly in 2022, and its total annual revenue increased by 35.2% year-on-year to RMB 6.8 billion. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Xiaomi’s overseas Internet service revenue increased by 19.4% year-on-year, reaching RMB 1.9 billion, a record high, and its proportion in the overall Internet service revenue increased to 26.1%. As an important advantage of Xiaomi, the scale effect of intelligent hardware and digital ecological operation give Xiaomi the growth through different cycles.

Intelligent ecology strengthens core values

Based on the huge hardware installation base, Xiaomi has put high-quality, cost-effective and other rich product combinations into different life scenes through artificial intelligence technology and the Internet of Things, linking thousands of active users, stimulating the stickiness of high-frequency consumption, and building a smart ecosystem of Xiaomi, which has always been the core value of Xiaomi.

The product-side force leads to the user experience. In the financial report, it is directly reflected in the corresponding data growth. In 2022, the global shipment of Xiaomi Smart TV reached 12.4 million units, and the annual revenue of smart home appliances increased by over 40% year-on-year. In the fields of office and family entertainment, the annual shipments of Xiaomi tablet increased by over 160% year-on-year, and the shipments in Chinese mainland in the fourth quarter reached a single-season high. According to Canalys data, in 2022, the market share of Xiaomi tablet in Chinese mainland increased to the third place, and its leading edge continued to be released.

The synergy between channel layout and product structure has been further deepened. In 2022, the GMV of channel AIoT products under Xiaomi line increased by over 27% year-on-year, maintaining a good growth trend.

The financial report shows that in 2022, Xiaomi’s revenue from IoT and consumer products reached RMB 79.8 billion, of which the revenue in the fourth quarter was RMB 21.4 billion, achieving a 12.5% month-on-month increase. As of December 31, 2022, the number of connected devices (excluding smartphones, tablets and laptops) on Xiaomi AIoT platform increased by 35.8% year-on-year to 589 million; In December 2022, the number of monthly users of Xiaoai and Mijia APP increased by 7.1% and 18.6% respectively, reaching 115 million and 75.8 million.

Large-scale ecological creation tests the R&D and manufacturing capabilities behind the products, but ultimately depends on the improvement of efficiency and benefits brought by digitalization. This year, Xiaomi put forward the business idea of "paying equal attention to scale and profit" for the first time. At the same time, the Group Management Committee and the Group Human Resources Committee were established to coordinate and optimize the strategic structure, operation management and resource allocation, focus on improving quality and efficiency, and promote the construction of professional long-term management system.

It is foreseeable that the headwind factors brought by the macro-environment are gradually easing, and consumer demand and the vitality of scientific and technological innovation continue to be released. However, Lu Weibing stressed that Xiaomi should be cautiously optimistic about the market in 2023, "strengthen risk management and pay attention to steady operation." He hopes that by improving the internal efficiency of Xiaomi, the profit target will be finely managed at the executive level.

With caution and optimism, it remains to be seen how Xiaomi will perform in the new year as the company promotes innovative business, continues to tackle key scientific and technological problems and improve its management model.

  In terms of power, the pure electric Macan will adopt the latest generation of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PSM) with front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive. The maximum power is 300 kW and the maximum torque is 650 Nm; Macan Turbo has a maximum power of 470 kW and a maximum torque of 1130 Nm. In order to improve the efficiency, silicon carbide is used as the semiconductor material in the rear-axle pulse inverter (PWR), which greatly reduces the conversion loss of the pulse inverter and realizes a higher conversion frequency. The new car is equipped with a lithium-ion battery with a total capacity of 100kWh, which is divided into 12 modules with a total of 180 square cells, of which the ratio of nickel, cobalt and manganese is 8:1:1. The acceleration of 0-100km/h is 5.2 seconds for Macan 4 and 3.3 seconds for Macan Turbo.

  Thanks to the technical architecture of 800V, the maximum charging power of Macan can reach 270kW, and it can be charged from 10% to 80% in 21 minutes at the earliest. If the charging pile can only use 400V technology, pure electric Macan will start the "combined charging" function to speed up the charging process. The "combined charging" function can effectively divide the 800V battery into two batteries, each with a rated voltage of 400V, which can be charged in a 400V charging pile in parallel. In terms of endurance, Macan 4′ s comprehensive cruising range WLTP is 613km and Macan Turbo is 591km. (Text/car home Qin Chao)

Many countries encounter heat waves, high temperature breaks through historical extremes, and climate warming intensifies the frequency of extreme weather.

A rare heat wave is raging in the northern hemisphere. At 6 o’clock on August 22, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued the highest level warning of high temperature in China-high temperature red warning for the 11th consecutive day. Not only in China, but also in Spain, Portugal, France, Britain and other places, heat waves with high temperature exceeding 40℃ have broken through historical extremes in many places, threatening human health, power supply, agricultural production and water resources.

Why is the heat wave coming? Will extreme weather become the norm in the future? According to the meteorologists interviewed, it is very rare to see the intensity and frequency of extreme weather this year. In addition to short-term direct meteorological factors, there has been a lot of evidence that this is closely related to long-term climate change. Climate change has once again sounded the alarm for the whole world.

High temperature and heat waves generally hit the northern hemisphere, and temperatures in many countries broke historical records.

The whole world is as cool and hot as this-at this moment, people in the whole northern hemisphere feel it particularly vividly.

"China has experienced the strongest high temperature process since there was a complete meteorological observation record in 1961. This process has the characteristics of long duration, wide range, high intensity and strong extremes." According to Zhou Bing, chief expert of climate service of the National Climate Center, as of August 21st, the duration of high-temperature events in China this summer (70 days), the coverage of high-temperature areas above 40℃ (1.5 million square kilometers), the maximum temperature intensity of a single station (45℃) and the number of stations with historical extremes broken or flat by the National Meteorological Station (330 stations) all set new records.

Looking around the world, the crimson and orange on the temperature map symbolize the high temperature weather above 35℃, which are widely distributed in Europe, North Africa, North America, East Asia and other places. In just one month, Europe experienced two rounds of heat waves. According to the World Meteorological Organization, the current heat wave sweeping Europe will continue, and the negative effects of climate change such as high temperature will last at least until the 1960s.

The decrease of river water level, the increase of forest and grassland fire risk, the drought of crops, the shortage of power and water resources … The heat wave brings not only somatosensory heat, but also a series of secondary disasters.

The unusually high temperature and rainfall are significantly less than in previous years, and the drought in many places in Europe is serious. "From the dry and cracked reservoirs in Spain to the drop in water levels of major rivers such as Danube, Rhine and Po, an unprecedented drought is sweeping across nearly half of Europe." The Associated Press reported that there was no obvious precipitation in most parts of continental Europe in the past two months, and some experts called it "the worst drought in 500 years".

The high temperature and drought caused the river water level to drop seriously, and the riverbed was exposed, making it difficult for ships to sail. The Rhine River is an important inland waterway in Europe, which flows through Germany, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and other countries and is known as the "golden waterway". German federal and local waterway and shipping management agencies have warned many times recently that the waterway water level near many cities along the lower reaches of the Rhine River has set a new record, which has led to a sharp decrease in shipping volume and the actual load of ships is less than half of the normal situation.

Long-term high temperature combined with protracted drought has sharply increased the threat of forest fires. According to the data of the European Forest Fire Information System, more than 50,000 hectares of forests in France have been burned by fires this year, which is more than three times the average level in the past decade. Large-scale forest fires have also occurred in California, USA.

In the Po River region of Italy, severe drought caused rice fields to dry up and lack water. Local farmers estimate that this year’s rice harvest may be "halved". The German Farmers’ Association recently warned that in the case of continuous drought, we should be alert to crop failures and price increases. If it doesn’t keep raining as soon as possible, the harvest may be reduced by 30% or 40%.

Extreme high temperature also poses a threat to human health. "Heat will cause disease, and heat stress and high concentration of ground ozone will have a serious impact on health." Klaus reinhart, president of the German Medical Association, said about the impact of this wave of heat waves in Europe. The French health department warned that during the heat wave, the number of people seeking medical treatment increased significantly due to overheating and dehydration.

 Climate warming intensifies the instability of the climate system and is more likely to lead to extreme weather and climate events.

Why is the high temperature event "long standby"? Meteorological observations can provide direct and short-term explanations. High temperatures are often caused by specific weather systems, the most common of which is subtropical high. The area under its control is prevalent in downward flow. On the one hand, air subsidence will compress and warm up; on the other hand, the upward movement is weak, and there is little rain in partly cloudy.

"The extreme high temperature in the northern hemisphere is caused by multiple factors, and the continuous abnormal atmospheric circulation is a direct cause." Zhou Bing told reporters that the western Pacific subtropical high belt, the Atlantic high belt and the Iranian high pressure have all been strengthened in stages, thus forming a large-scale warm and high pressure belt around the northern hemisphere, which makes the hot air stay near the ground and cannot be dispersed, and then there is a high-temperature heat wave event.

La Nina climate events have contributed to the atmospheric circulation anomalies. La Nina refers to the phenomenon that the seawater in the equatorial, Middle East and Pacific Ocean is unusually cold, which can cause changes in atmospheric circulation and then affect the climate. "Since this spring, the La Nina event in the equatorial eastern Pacific has intensified, and the SST anomaly in the Indian Ocean has pushed the subtropical high to continue to increase." Zhou Bing said.

Considering from a longer climate scale, global warming is the background of high temperature heat wave in the northern hemisphere. The long-term climate change caused by human activities is the deep-seated reason for the increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather.

"Climate warming will change the global ocean and atmospheric circulation situation, and further affect the local climate through the interaction between ocean and atmosphere, land and atmosphere. Climate warming intensifies the instability of the climate system and is more likely to lead to extreme weather and climate events. " Chao Qingchen, director and researcher of the National Climate Center, told the reporter that the overall feature of climate change is to aggravate the instability of the global climate, and the impact and risks on natural ecosystems and economic and social systems are becoming increasingly serious.

According to the sixth assessment report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global warming is occurring at an unprecedented rate since 2000 in the last 50 years. The report released by the World Meteorological Organization shows that in the past 50 years, due to the impact of climate change, the number of disasters has increased fivefold and the disaster losses have increased more than sevenfold.

"Climate change has led to a trend of frequent, extensive, strong and concurrent extreme weather and climate events." Zhou Bing mentioned that the compound disasters caused by extreme weather are increasing. High temperature, heat wave and drought may occur more frequently, accompanied by the risk of wildfire; In some places, the possibility of compound flood has increased, and this possibility will continue to increase due to rising sea level and increasing precipitation intensity.

According to Zhou Bing’s observation, compared with several high-temperature events since the beginning of this century, this year’s heat wave has an obvious trend of advancing and strengthening in both the starting time and the extreme degree.

In the future, will the "hottest" become the norm?

According to the World Meteorological Organization, due to the influence of climate change, it is expected that extreme high temperatures will appear more frequently and more strongly in the future. Nalis, a spokesman for the organization, said that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, global warming will be even greater, and what we are experiencing now is only a "harbinger of the future".

"Due to the intensification of global warming, the frequency of events such as extreme high temperature and extreme heavy precipitation has accelerated and the cycle has been shortened. The original once in 50 years has become once in 20 years or even 10 years. Every 1℃ increase in global temperature leads to an increase of 7% in extreme precipitation intensity. Every 0.5 C warming in the future will significantly change the frequency of extreme temperature events. " Zhou Bing said that the extreme high temperature staged in the world may herald the coming of the "40 C era in the northern hemisphere", but this needs further observation and scientific confirmation.

 Rare extreme weather has sounded the alarm for the whole world, and it is urgent to deal with climate change.

The heat wave even rushed to the polar regions. "The temperature in Greenland is close to 60 degrees Fahrenheit (about 15.5 degrees Celsius), and warm weather like today is enough to wear short sleeves." On July 19th, in Greenland, an extremely cold place, a reporter appeared in the news screen wearing a thin T-shirt.

Greenland is the largest island in the world, most of which is located in the Arctic Circle, and about 80% of the island’s land is covered by ice sheets. This summer, the temperature in the Arctic Circle soared to 32.5℃, and the ice sheet in Greenland is melting at an alarming rate. According to data from the National Snow Data Research Center, from July 15th to 17th, the Greenland ice sheet lost about 6 billion tons of ice every day, enough to fill 7.2 million Olympic swimming pools. If the negative effects of climate change such as high temperature continue, the Greenland ice sheet will melt completely and the global sea level will rise by 7.5 meters.

In mid-March this year, the temperature in some parts of the Arctic was about 30℃ higher than the average level in the same period of last year. Many research stations in Antarctica have measured record high temperatures. The temperature at Concordia Antarctic research station is about 40℃ higher than the average level in the same period of last year, and the temperature at Kunlun Station in Antarctica in China has increased by 38.1℃ within 4 days. "The seasons in the north and south poles are opposite, but it is rare to see extreme hot weather at the same time. This is absolutely unusual." Zhou Bing said.

All kinds of unusual things have sounded the alarm for the whole world.

The research of Nobel Prize winners in physics, Shuro Kuniko and Klaus Hasselman, intuitively pointed out the relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and global warming: if the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration doubles, the global average temperature will rise by more than 2℃. Accordingly, the Paris Agreement puts forward the goal of "keeping the global average temperature rise within 2℃ relative to the pre-industrial level by the end of this century and making efforts to control the global average temperature rise within 1.5℃".

Significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions is related to the future and destiny of mankind. In 2021, the global average temperature was 1.11℃ higher than the pre-industrial level. In April this year, the IPCC said through the report of Working Group III in the Sixth Assessment Report that the world is at a crossroads where it is now or never. "If you want to control global warming within 1.5℃, you should either act now or never (fail to meet the standards), so all departments need to carry out deep emission reduction." Jim Ski, co-chairman of Working Group III, said.

"China has actively participated in global climate governance, implemented a national strategy to deal with climate change, promoted industrial restructuring and energy structure optimization, and accelerated the construction of a’ double carbon’ policy system, and achieved remarkable results in carbon emission reduction." According to Zhou Bing, in the past decade, China’s energy consumption intensity has been reduced by 26.2%, which is equivalent to using about 1.4 billion tons of standard coal less and emitting about 2.94 billion tons of carbon dioxide less. In 2020, China’s carbon emission intensity will decrease by 18.8% compared with 2015 and 48.4% compared with 2005, exceeding the target of 40%-45% promised to the international community.

The unbearable heat has also made people have a more real experience of global warming. "In terms of emission reduction, we often say that there are five levels: international social experience and mutual cooperation, national or regional independent contributions and policy-level attention, industry and enterprise carbon emission constraints and efforts, active participation of communities and the public, and scientific dissemination of green and low-carbon concepts of associations." Zhou Bing said that the public is not detached from the issue of climate change, and energy conservation and emission reduction require the joint efforts of all walks of life in the whole society.

Pay equal attention to mitigation and adaptation, enhance climate resilience and build a climate-adaptive society.

Reducing emissions is not the only action to deal with climate change. Mitigation and adaptation are two major strategies to deal with climate change, which complement each other and are indispensable.

"Mitigation refers to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through long-term adjustment of economic systems and natural ecosystems such as energy and industry. Adaptation refers to the climate change that has occurred and is expected to occur, through the adjustment of natural systems and human systems, to reduce the adverse effects of climate change on social and economic development and ecosystems, and to make full use of favorable factors. " Nest clearing dust said.

Slow down is the fundamental solution, but adaptation is also essential to solve the immediate problems. In the view of Chao Qingchen, the necessity can be understood from two aspects: first, climate change has already occurred, and its negative impact cannot be minimized if it is not adjusted and changed through adaptive means. Secondly, it takes time for mitigation measures to have an effect. Greenhouse gases have a long "life span". Even if emissions are reduced, past and present emissions will continue to affect the climate system, and the consequences will be manifested for a long time, such as sea level rising in the next few hundred years. Therefore, for the risks that have occurred and are about to occur, we must rely on adaptive measures to reduce the adverse effects.

China has always been adhering to the concept of paying equal attention to mitigation and adaptation, and taking active adaptation to climate change as an important part of implementing the national strategy of actively responding to climate change. Not long ago, the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy 2035 was released, and it was proposed that by 2035, "a climate-adapted society will be basically completed".

Huang Gang, a second-level researcher in lasg, said in an interview with this reporter that according to the Action Plan for Urban Adaptation to Climate Change, the goal of building a climate-adapted city is to "significantly enhance the city’s ability to cope with waterlogging, drought and water shortage, high-temperature heat waves, strong winds and freezing disasters, and comprehensively improve its ability to adapt to climate change". "Similarly, a climate-adaptive society is a society with strong adaptability under changing climate conditions."

Try your best to prevent, focus on reducing, enhance climate resilience, and improve disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities. "Strengthening the early warning of extreme weather and climate events is the first line of defense for disaster prevention and mitigation." Chao Qingchen said that in the future, it is necessary to strengthen the comprehensive on-the-spot monitoring of extreme weather and climate and the understanding of the fine characteristics of disastrous weather and climate. Zhou Bing believes that global warming has brought new challenges to meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation, and it is necessary to continuously strengthen the disaster risk management ability of the whole society and the public’s awareness of disaster prevention and mitigation to minimize the impact of disasters.

Many interviewed experts said that in the face of increasingly frequent and intense extreme weather, we should not only focus on the present and solve the immediate problems, but also focus on the long-term and make a comprehensive response. For example, extreme weather affects agricultural production and energy supply, so we should take precautions and prepare adequate countermeasures. For another example, urban planning should take extreme precipitation and extreme high temperature into consideration, build infrastructure such as flood control and drainage systems that can withstand extreme weather, provide more shade places, and use more environmentally friendly and heat-insulating building materials.

The heat wave will eventually ebb, but the climate problem will not disappear, and extreme weather will not disappear. The challenges brought by climate change to mankind are realistic, severe and long-term, and each of us has the responsibility to "cool down" the earth.

Jewellery merchant became a monk and became a true Taoist priest, the 30th generation disciple of Qiu Chuji.

  Coincidentally, the jewelry merchant became a monk and became a true Taoist priest. He was praised as a good young netizen in China by using Weibo to break feudal superstition.

  "@ Quanzhen Daochang Liang Xingyang", who loves to take selfies in Weibo, has really caught fire recently.

  On May 4th, he was invited by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League to attend the 2016 Outstanding Youth Commendation Symposium in Beijing. As one of the 15 good young netizens in China, he was received by Vice President Li Yuanchao. During the meeting, regardless of his own "face value defects", he resolutely took a photo with Jin Dong, the actor of Lin Shaoge in nirvana in fire and the representative of this "upward kindness and kindness to young people", and immediately made his Weibo "pink" to 330,000 people.

  Why is Liang Xingyang favored by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League? What legendary experiences did he have in his life before he became a Taoist? How does he become attached to the internet? Recently, Liang Xingyang was interviewed by Guangzhou Daily reporter in Beijing and shared his life experience with the reporter.

  Text, map/Guangzhou Daily correspondent Wuwei

  At 9: 30 in the morning of May 9, after receiving the reporter’s WeChat, Liang Xingyang, wearing a long shoulder-length hair and wearing vulgar clothes but boots, quickly came to the hotel lobby to meet the reporter. When he entered the elevator, Liang Xingyang began to talk: "I’ve been really busy recently, and I don’t have any leisure time. I have to meet friends from Taobao and Observer in the evening, and I’m going to see the leaders of the United Front Work Department and the Religious Affairs Bureau in the next few days. I’m afraid I can’t go back to Zhongnanshan for the time being."

  As for why he made this nondescript dress, Liang Xingyang also had his own difficulties: "I am afraid that wearing a costume and hat will scare the waiters."

  "Being original takes you into science"

  In 2009, Liang Xingyang, a jewelry merchant in Tengchong, suddenly became a monk at Jinxianguan in Zhongnanshan, becoming the 30th generation Xuanzi disciple of Longmen Sect of Quanzhen Sect, and he was the 30th generation disciple of Qiu Chuji by seniority.

  In 2010, Liang Xingyang opened a Weibo in his own name only for one year, and then he took various selfies in Weibo from time to time. Among all the selfies, the most proud one was the picture of him smiling with a lollipop. "Don’t rely on a beard to increase the face value of being poor, give an ugly Taoist friend a chance to live." Afterwards, this picture was also published on the cover page of a new book "Knocking on the Heart" published by the State Administration for Religious Affairs for Liang Xingyang.

  As a Taoist priest, Liang Xingyang has a position on the content of his Weibo — — Not superstitious, not blindly obedient, wise and clear-minded. He claimed that he never told fortune, and he opened Weibo to help netizens get rid of superstitions. In Weibo, his column titled "Being Being Original Takes You into Science" introduced some knowledge of health preservation and treatment to netizens, as well as his own reflection on feudal superstition.

  For example, the netizen "Cang Cang Cang" said on Weibo: "Scorpio has a clear love and hate, so there are many views." Liang Xingyang will answer on the Weibo: "Please don’t be superstitious. Being original tells you that cancer is the majority."

  Perhaps he was too maverick and actively joined the WTO. Liang Xingyang was also under pressure from many Taoist friends, and some even asked to expel his Taoist books. In this regard, Liang Xingyang resisted the pressure and had his own explanation: "Taoism has two mascots: cranes and deer, both of which are immortal mounts; Then why did you choose deer and crane? Why didn’t the fairy ride a pig? The crane, the fairy, symbolizes the world, lofty, meaning to look at the world from a macro perspective; The deer, Lu Ye, means the world of mortals and common customs, and means facing the world with a positive attitude. "

  From Taoist to online celebrity

  What really made Liang Xing famous was his tact in responding to the South China Sea issue in Weibo. Last May, US Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Russell made a strange remark that "China’s island-building in the South China Sea destroyed the geomantic omen in Southeast Asia".

  Liang Xingyang immediately wrote a long microblog "On the Positive Influence of China’s Island Building in the South China Sea on the Geomantic omen of the Earth and the Peace of the Solar System", denouncing the US for stealing Taoist geomantic omen knowledge and undermining the peace among heaven, earth and man. Soon, Liang Xingyang became online celebrity because of this article. Until recently talking to reporters about his famous work, Liang Xingyang still said proudly: "Feng Shui problems should still be answered by professionals like me."

  After becoming a "online celebrity", Liang Xingyang took questions from netizens, even the most exotic ones. Liang Xingyang said that some people ask questions, which proves that there are still people concerned. Answering these wonderful questions is also conducive to eliminating public misunderstandings and guiding the public to the good side.

  Liang Xingyang was very moved by being invited to Beijing this time. He thought that the six years of spreading Taoism through Weibo had been affirmed by the state.

  Dialogue: I was commended for spreading positive energy.

  Guangzhou Daily: What was your life experience before you became a monk?

  Liang Xingyang: I was born in Shandong, and my parents were both primary school teachers. In 1999, I was admitted to the Department of Applied Chemistry of Yunnan University, because my brother had to study at that time, and my parents were not well off. By the time I was a sophomore, my living expenses were earned by my work-study program, and I gradually entered the society. I did e-commerce for a while, and later, I came into contact with the jewelry industry. After graduation, I started to do jewelry-related business and once made a lot of money.

  In 2004, when my mother died suddenly and went home to attend the funeral, two college students who helped me took all my goods and money away, and left me in debt. If my brother hadn’t had to study at that time, I would have died. I started from scratch, but I lost everything. Why? I don’t want to live a life of mediocrity.

  So in 2006, I packed my bags and went to Tengchong, the border between China and Myanmar, to do jade business. Because I knew some friends when I was doing jewelry business before, my business quickly stabilized. The most comfortable time in my life was in Tengchong, waking up naturally every day and playing mahjong every day. Because of the high profit of jade, I only work once every two or three months, and the kickbacks to Burmese people are all two or three thousand yuan.

  Quietly thinking, I began to get in touch with Taoism. In 2009, a friend from Xi ‘an came to Tengchong. When I visited him, he said that he was going to go up the mountain to convert and become a Taoist layman. I am also stupid, and I followed the Zhongnanshan to learn from my teacher.

  Guangzhou Daily: Did Master accept you so quickly?

  Liang Xingyang: This is actually an own goal incident. Previously, a northerner about my age told my master several times that he would go to Jinxian Temple to learn from his master, but he never went. As soon as Master saw me, he mistook me for the former, quickly accepted me, and named me Liang Xingyang according to my seniority. On the second day of becoming a monk, I realized that I was "being a monk"; The next year, when I chatted with Master, he realized that he had taken the wrong apprentice.

  Guangzhou Daily: Are you still in the jewelry business?

  Liang Xingyang: I must do something. If I don’t do it, how can I get the money to do this? I don’t refuse money. I think with more money, we can do more things, as long as we don’t lose our principles and enrich ourselves.

  600 yuan, the "basic salary" of Taoist life

  Guangzhou Daily: As a Taoist, what’s your daily life like in the mountains?

  Liang Xingyang: I write articles on the Internet all day now, and I can’t be a stable little Taoist. Most Taoist get up at 6: 00 in the morning, clean up and tidy up the temple. After breakfast, they start to attend morning classes, and then they can do their own things: play Tai Chi, read books or entertain visitors; From 12 noon to 12: 30, we will have lunch on time, and there will be classes at 3 or 4 pm. After that, we will have dinner at 6 pm and go to bed at 9 pm. Of course, the temple doesn’t prohibit us from surfing the Internet and playing games, and I usually stay busy until 11 pm.

  Guangzhou Daily: Do you have any income in Taoist temple?

  Liang Xingyang: The income given to me by Taoist Temple is one month’s 600 yuan. The income of Taoist priests is not high. 600 yuan is the basic cost that Taoist temples give you so that you can live. Besides, how much Taoist priests can earn depends on their own efforts. For example, if people invite you to chant Buddhist scripture, you can earn several hundred yuan. Like I sometimes write books, I can also earn royalties, and sometimes I am short of people to recite scriptures, so I will make up for it.

  Guangzhou Daily: You come from Quanzhen religion. What are the similarities and differences between Quanzhen religion and martial arts novels?

  Liang Xingyang: Many people, including Quanzhen Sect, I know, came from Jin Yong’s martial arts novels, but I actually came from Qiu Chuji’s ancestor, and I was his 30th generation Xuanzi disciple.

  Many people also ask me about Jin Yong’s novels. For example, Yin Zhiping is actually a founder of Quanzhen religion, but Yin Zhiping in Jin Yong’s novels is different. On this matter, Quanzhen Sect also has a lot of arguments, and some people say that they want to crusade against Jin Yong. So in later editions of the novel, Jin Yong changed Yin Zhiping’s name to Zhen Zhibing. In my opinion, Jin Yong did make mistakes when writing novels, and he shouldn’t tease historical figures, but without Jin Yong’s martial arts novels, there will definitely be too many people who don’t understand Quanzhen religion.

  I can’t tell fortune.

  Guangzhou Daily: How did you get attached to the Internet at that time?

  Liang Xingyang: When I first went to college in 1999, I came into contact with the Internet, and I haven’t left since. After becoming a monk, I hope to introduce our daily life through the Internet. I started to open Weibo in 2010, but I didn’t have much goals at that time, and I didn’t expect to be so popular today.

  Everyone always thinks that we are mysterious, so that I dare not wear a cassock outside. As soon as I get on the train or plane, a group of people come around. "Taoist, please count my life?" When I say I can’t count, they will say, "You can’t even count your life, fake Taoist." Many people think that we just draw lots to tell fortune, but this is not the case. I share my thoughts, thoughts and experiences with you on Weibo, including our own reflection on feudal superstition. Since I started Weibo, I have determined the principle of not being superstitious, not being extreme, and being wise and clear-minded, and my later journey has become wider and wider.

  Guangzhou Daily: You also have a column on the Internet called "Taoist takes you into science". Why do you want to do this column?

  Liang Xingyang: Our traditional culture, including Taoism, actually contains many scientific contents. On April 22nd, the Ministry of Science and Technology and Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China issued "Standards of Scientific Quality of Chinese Citizens", which clearly stated that we should understand China’s traditional philosophical ideas such as knowing Yin and Yang, the five elements, the unity of man and nature, and understanding knowledge by grasping things. They are part of our traditional science, and these things may be flawed, but we should not blindly deny them, but look at them from a scientific dialectical point of view.

  Find a partner because of positive energy

  Guangzhou Daily: How did you receive the invitation of May 4th Youth Day?

  Liang Xingyang: Others think that we may not be able to hit the gossip, but my friends with the Communist Youth League are doing positive things online. The Communist Youth League thinks that I am practicing socialist core values; I think I am spreading the essence from the virtues of China traditional culture.

  At the end of April, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League contacted me and asked me if I had time recently and wanted to invite me to attend. I didn’t think much about it. I thought I would attend if I wanted to. I didn’t expect such a high-standard meeting, and I didn’t expect a vice president to attend at all.

  Guangzhou Daily: On the Internet, you denounced the wrong remarks made by American and Japanese officials about the South China Sea issue. What was your consideration at that time?

  Liang Xingyang: These remarks made by American and Japanese officials are intended to refute Chinese with the culture of China. When Americans talk about Feng Shui with us and Japanese talk about Tao Te Ching with us, leave this kind of thing to a "professional" like me. Tao Te Ching is a Taoist classic, and Feng Shui is our specialty, so it is only appropriate for us to come forward.

  Guangzhou Daily: How are you going to continue to spread positive energy online in the future?

  Liang Xingyang: Now we are concerned and encouraged by many people and officials. We will stick to our own path, and we will develop better on this road in the future. When we didn’t have much support in the past, we all came to today. Now with support, I will go higher. We will seek common ground while reserving differences, unite most people, and find the greatest common denominator of our exchanges, which includes patriotism, culture and recognition of the Chinese nation, and better serve.

  Guangzhou Daily: You often interact with netizens and refuse to answer their wonderful questions. Why do you not hesitate to answer such questions?

  Liang Xingyang: Since he asked, it proves that he still has the least curiosity about me. These people are not all malicious, but just misunderstood. I think as long as I answer, he may have a good understanding of us. And if I insult or attack this, I’m afraid his misunderstanding of us will be deeper. No matter how wonderful these problems are, at least we can deal with them, and we can also spread the correct ideas in dealing with them. Why not?

  In the face of netizens’ questions, what we consider is not how wonderful the problem is, but how to deal with it. It is impossible for everyone in this society to like you and give others answers. You can’t just solve those puzzles that make you comfortable and uncomfortable, but you should also give others answers.

At the same time, the development of smart transportation derivative business is mainly to build ecological scenes with "ETC+" as the core, integrate vehicle parking, refueling, road economy, car maintenance and car life, and develop ETC ecosystem business.

(A) the basic situation of industry development

Intelligent transportation is an important area of new infrastructure. In recent years, the state has successively issued a large number of policies and measures to support the development of intelligent transportation, and the intelligent transportation industry is in a period of rapid development. The national transportation power strategy, the new infrastructure policy and the Tenth Five-Year Plan have continuously promoted the digital transformation of the transportation industry. From top-level design to supporting implementation, the policy dividend of the smart transportation industry has been continuously released, and the two-wheel drive of policy demand has boosted the smart transportation industry to usher in a sustained and prosperous development, accompanied by deep excavation of data capabilities, which has driven the industry’s efficiency to continue to improve.

With the continuous release of policy dividends in the smart transportation industry, the two-wheel drive of policy demand will boost the smart transportation sub-sector to usher in sustained and high-growth development.

(III) Development stages and characteristics of the industry

The intelligent transportation industry has been growing for a long time. Due to the unbalanced level of economic development and technological development in different regions of China, the investment and construction of intelligent transportation management system in China are uneven in various regions, and the intelligent transportation business also presents certain regional characteristics. According to the forecast of Yiou think tank, the smart transportation market in China will reach 10.6 trillion yuan by 2030, with a broad growth space. It is expected that the technologies related to intelligent transportation will continue to mature in the future, and the intelligent layout of vehicles, roads and clouds will continue to improve, and the market will show a steady growth trend. From the perspective of single business products, the national market space of dispatching cloud can reach 1.6 billion yuan (160,000 kilometers, with an investment of about 10,000 yuan per kilometer). Policy promotion, customer demand and technological progress have accelerated the transformation of the transportation industry from informationization to digitalization, and data has gradually become one of the core production factors. The characteristics of interconnection and data element empowerment have prompted the intelligent transportation industry to move towards "cloud-network-edge-end" integrated technology integration and life-cycle value operation. The market share of intelligent transportation began to concentrate on the head enterprises with data and algorithm capabilities and in-depth understanding of the industry.

(III) Risks that the company may face

1. Risk of policy change

With the sustained and rapid development of China’s economy, the demand for residents’ life and travel is increasing day by day, and the smart transportation industry has developed rapidly. Since the State Council’s "Government Work Report" in 2019 proposed that the provincial toll stations of national expressways should be basically abolished within two years to realize fast toll collection without stopping, the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transport have successively issued a series of policies to encourage the related construction of toll collection without stopping, creating a good environment for the rapid and healthy development of enterprises in the industry.

Although the medium-and long-term planning of the country has clearly focused on the development of the intelligent transportation industry, and the supporting policy of the country for non-stop charging has a strong practical basis and social needs for a long time, if the government’s supporting policies for intelligent transportation related fields, especially ETC technical routes, are adjusted or the pace of implementation is uncertain in the future, the company’s operating performance will be affected to some extent.

In view of the above risks, the company will pay close attention to policy changes, strengthen strategic layout, optimize business structure, increase R&D investment and scientific and technological innovation, actively expand new commercial application fields and business models, enhance the company’s anti-risk ability and sustainable development ability, and maintain its leading position in the industry.

2. Industry competition intensifies risks.

In recent ten years, with the continuous improvement of informatization level, the continuous efforts of industry enterprises and the great attention of government departments, the technical level of China’s intelligent transportation industry has made great progress. As one of the important fields of intelligent transportation, the ETC sub-sector is becoming more and more market-oriented, and the market competition pattern is in a stage of rapid change. At present, the company is the only authorized ETC issuer in Jiangsu Province. Although it has established a perfect online distribution channel and can realize nationwide ETC issuance, it has not yet established an offline ETC issuance service network outside Jiangsu Province. Due to factors such as local car owners’ habit of choosing to handle ETC business in their permanent residence, there is still great competitive pressure for the company to handle ETC issuance business outside Jiangsu Province. If there are major changes in the future industry policies, industry norms and market competition pattern, the company’s ETC issuance and sales market share is at risk of being seized by competitors.

In the field of intelligent transportation business, although the company took the lead in developing a series of products such as cloud control platforms in the industry, which have the first-Mover advantages in products and services and have a high market share, on the one hand, there are companies engaged in similar businesses in all provinces, which have certain market resources and regional service advantages in the local area. In the future, with the improvement of technology and service capabilities of such companies, the company will face greater market competition when further exploring the national business market; On the other hand, the relatively high profit rate of the smart transportation industry also attracts other enterprises to enter the industry through infiltration, merger and reorganization, industrial transformation, etc., including super-large enterprises such as Ali, Tencent and Huawei technologies. In the future, the company will have the risk of intensified competition in the industry.

In view of the above risks, the company will seize the strategic opportunities of digital economy countries, strengthen industry research and market insight, use the deep understanding of smart transportation industry and business, improve the accuracy of understanding user needs and the foresight of market trends, give full play to the advantages of technological innovation, enrich product development matrix, and provide customers with all-round solutions; Improve the marketing promotion system, vigorously expand the national product market, expand brand influence, consolidate and increase market share, and enhance market comprehensive competitiveness; Strengthen industry exchanges and technical cooperation, actively build a diversified ecosystem of partners, and build a "moat" with strong R&D and innovation capabilities.

3, technology update risk

The development of intelligent transportation industry needs to effectively integrate advanced information technology, data communication and transmission technology, electronic sensing technology, electronic control technology and computer processing technology on the basis of perfect infrastructure, so as to establish a real-time, accurate and efficient intelligent transportation operation and management system that plays a role in a wide range and in all directions. This industry has the characteristics of fast technology update. If the company can’t accurately grasp the technology development trend of the industry and follow up the direction of technology research and development in the future, or the speed of product research and development can’t match the demand of the industry and competent departments for technology update, the company’s market competitiveness and sustainable development will be adversely affected.

In view of the above risks, the company will pay close attention to the dynamic development of technologies in emerging fields, dynamically optimize and adjust the technology planning and research and development direction of new technologies according to the changes in market demand and technology development, strictly manage the research and development and application process, and strengthen the collaborative development workflow of technologies and products; At the same time, the company will continue to increase investment in R&D, strengthen the construction of technical personnel, introduce outstanding technical personnel and integrate internal R&D forces, improve the incentive mechanism for R&D personnel, actively promote the transformation of technological R&D achievements, maintain the overall leading edge of technical teams, and consolidate the leading position in the industry in major business-related technologies.

V. Analysis of Main Business

cash flow

(1) Cash flow analysis of operating activities

In 2022, the net cash flow generated by the company’s operating activities was-126,097,200 yuan, compared with 6,745,600 yuan in the previous year. The smart traffic electronic toll service business that the company is engaged in is to provide toll clearing and settlement services for expressway management units, that is, the company collects expressway tolls from car owners and users, and pays the money to expressway management units according to the settlement cycle. The amount of such funds is large, and the amount of payment received is reflected in the cash flow of operating activities and other cash flows related to operating activities. Due to certain fluctuation in the amount of split tolls payable due to the interval between the settlement date of split tolls at the end of each year and the balance sheet date, the amount of split tolls payable at the end of 2022 is lower than that in 2021, so the net cash flow from operating activities is negative, and this kind of business does not affect the actual business of the company. Therefore, the cash flow generated from operating activities is deducted from the collection and payment and clearing tolls for analysis. In 2022, the net cash flow from operating activities was 117,208,000 yuan, down by 111,666,100 yuan compared with the previous year (228,874,100 yuan), mainly due to the salary increase in 2022, when the total salary paid increased by 42,482,900 yuan compared with that in 2021, and the subsidy received was compared with that in 2021.

(2) cash flow analysis of investment activities

In 2022, the net cash flow generated by the company’s investment activities was-764,856,000 yuan, and the cash flow generated by the company’s investment activities mainly included the purchase and redemption of structured deposits and the purchase of three-year certificates of deposit. The net amount in 2022 was-764,856,000 yuan, and the negative amount was mainly due to the fact that the three-year certificates of deposit purchased in 2022 had not expired.

(3) cash flow analysis of financing activities

In 2022, the net cash flow generated by the company’s fund-raising activities was 1,013,524,700 yuan. In 2022, the company raised 1,046,613,800 yuan through the listing of A shares. The cash outflow from the company’s fund-raising activities was 33,089,100 yuan, of which 6,089,200 yuan was paid in cash by distributing dividends, profits or paying interest, which was the dividend paid by the company’s subsidiaries to minority shareholders in 2022; Paying other cash related to fund-raising activities of 27 million yuan, which is the issuance fee generated by this public offering of shares and the lease fee for the right to use assets.

Reasons for the significant difference between the net cash flow from the company’s operating activities and the net profit of this year during the reporting period: The main reason for the significant difference between the net cash flow from the company’s operating activities and the net profit is the impact of changes in operating receivables and payables. The company received other cash flows related to business activities and paid other cash flows related to business activities on a large scale. The others received were mainly prepaid recharge of ETC stored value cards collected by various cooperative institutions, consumption of ETC charge cards and money collected through mobile payment, and the others were mainly settled through ETC and mobile payment.
