  (This article was published in China Economic Weekly, No.8, 2017)

  How hot is the topic of real estate tax? It is no exaggeration to describe "seeing the wind is rain". As long as anything happens to the real estate tax, it will become the focus of public opinion.

  What triggered this round of hot discussion on real estate tax was the Guiding Opinions on Innovating the Government’s Allocation of Resources issued by the State Council years ago. This long article has more than 7,000 words, but only a slight mention of real estate tax has been repeatedly ground by public opinion.

  In fact, the original words of the opinion draft are "under the premise of maintaining the unified national market, support all regions to explore and innovate in new urbanization, state-owned assets and state-owned enterprise reform, regional financial markets and financial institutions, real estate tax, old-age care and medical security". In just a few decades, referring to many exploration and innovation projects, public opinion only magnified the concept of "real estate tax" and even concluded that "the real estate tax really came in 2017".

  But this judgment seems to be too optimistic. Then, from 2013, it was proposed to "speed up the legislation of real estate tax and promote the reform in a timely manner". Three years later, why has the real estate tax that has entered the legislative process been delayed?

  Real estate tax law is still difficult to introduce in 2017.

  A recent article published in the media, "Attention! "Real estate tax" is coming soon! Will house prices finally fall in 2017? The report of "is in the heat." The report quoted Liu Jianwen, a professor at Peking University Law School and president of China Finance and Taxation Law Research Association, as saying that the term of this session of the National People’s Congress will end in 2017. Therefore, it is expected that the real estate tax law will be passed before the end of 2017 at the earliest, or it may be submitted for deliberation at the end of 2017 and passed during the next session of the National People’s Congress.

  It is the above passage that makes many people misunderstand that real estate tax will be levied and fully implemented in 2017. This made Liu Jianwen very helpless: "In fact, this view was said after the Third Plenary Session of the 18 th CPC Central Committee in 2013. Later, it was corrected on many occasions, but it was not really corrected."

  He clarified by China Economic Weekly: "First of all, the term of this session of the National People’s Congress is not until the end of 2017, but until March 2018. Secondly, the draft real estate tax law has been completed and may be submitted to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) for deliberation as soon as 2017. However, even if it is submitted to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) for deliberation, it does not mean that it can be implemented. From the legislative process, it is very difficult and impossible for the real estate tax law to be introduced in 2017. "

  As the real estate tax involves not only the interests of thousands of households, but also the interests of the central and local governments, as well as the stability of the whole society and the protection of private property, it is reasonable for such an important law to be promulgated cautiously.

  The reason why the real estate tax has been delayed for a long time, Liu Jianwen thinks: "When should this real estate tax law be introduced, what kind of problems should be solved, what is the purpose and what is the purpose? These are all very important. Legislation has legal procedures and it takes time to introduce it."

  Liu Jianwen predicted: "According to the deployment of the central authorities, it should be implemented before 2020. There are still four years. "

  The draft real estate tax law has been basically completed.

  In China’s current tax system, there is no real estate tax, and the taxes related to real estate include property tax and land use tax.

  The property tax was levied in 1986, which is only applicable to the operating real estate of units and individuals, and is tax-free for individual housing, so it has basically no impact on people’s lives.

  The predecessor of real estate tax is property tax. In 2003, China began to propose the property tax reform, which is actually how to tax individual houses under the public ownership of land. Concurrent with the reform of property tax is the reform of real estate tax and fee.

  Zhang Bin, director of the Tax Research Office of national academy of economic strategy, gave the answer: "Under the current tax system in China, in the process of real estate development, construction and transaction, the front-end tax burden is heavier; However, the tax burden on the retention link is relatively light. Except in the pilot areas of Chongqing and Shanghai, property tax and urban land use tax are not levied on the retention link of self-occupied houses. Therefore, the comprehensive reform of real estate taxes and fees is emphasized in the fiscal and taxation reform, which is conducive to the balance of tax burden. "

  As the property tax is levied according to the rent or the original value of the house, in recent years, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China has been promoting the merger of property tax and land use tax. After the merger, it is not levied according to the original value, but according to the assessed value. This is actually paving the way for promoting real estate tax.

  Compared with property tax, real estate tax is a comprehensive concept. It is a matter of recent years that China formally proposed to levy real estate tax on residential buildings.

  In November, 2013, the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee adopted the Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Several Major Issues of Comprehensively Deepening Reform, which proposed "speeding up the legislation of real estate tax and promoting the reform in a timely manner", thus setting the principle of "statutory taxation" in which real estate tax should be legislated first and then reformed, that is, "the government cannot levy taxes without corresponding laws".

  After that, the legislative work of real estate tax began. However, the legislation of real estate tax this time is very different from the previous departmental legislation. The drafting of the real estate tax law was led by the Budget Working Committee of the National People’s Congress, with the participation of the Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China and other functional departments. At the same time, it also absorbed some experts and organized a team to jointly draft it.

  What is widely concerned is whether the existing property tax and urban land use tax will be merged in the real estate tax law.

  Ni Hongri, a researcher at the State Council Development Research Center, said earlier that it is certain that the real estate tax reform will combine the existing property tax with the urban land use tax. This means that the property tax will increase the tax burden of real estate ownership, and it is based on the assessed value of real estate, and other things such as land value-added tax and deed tax will not be included for the time being.

  Whether the draft really "combines the existing property tax with the urban land use tax" as Ni Hongri said is still unknown. However, the reporter of China Economic Weekly learned that at present, the draft real estate tax law has been basically completed.

  "The draft has been drafted for a year or two. After the drafting is completed, it will be submitted to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) for deliberation. Now that the preliminary draft is available, as for when it will be introduced, it depends on the high-level judgment on the status quo of the entire economic development and the consensus of taxpayers. " Liu Jianwen said.

  The direction of real estate tax reform in China has been clear: major reforms should be based on laws. However, there are still great disputes about the collection of real estate tax: one is the purpose of collection, and the other is how to collect it. These still need time to clarify.

  Exemption involves people’s right of residence.

  Zhang Bin told the reporter of China Economic Weekly that there are four main goals involved in the discussion of real estate tax: First, cracking down on real estate speculation and curbing housing prices; The second is to adjust the distribution of wealth; Third, as the main tax category of grass-roots government, improve the local tax system; The fourth is to promote the effective use of land resources.

  People are more concerned about lowering house prices. In fact, the real estate tax pilot schemes in Shanghai and Chongqing are all based on curbing housing prices and cracking down on real estate speculation.

  Under the goal of curbing housing prices and cracking down on real estate speculation, in Zhang Bin’s view, there are two ideas for real estate tax collection: one is the Shanghai model, which taxes the part of new real estate that exceeds a certain area and does not involve the stock; One is the Chongqing model, which involves the stock, but only involves a few high-grade houses.

  If the goal of real estate tax collection is to curb the excessive rise of housing prices and adjust the distribution of wealth, we should focus on the adjustment function, set a higher exemption amount, and exempt basic housing consumption and improved housing consumption. This is what people are most concerned about. After all, once the real estate tax is implemented, whether or not to pay money every year after buying a house, and how much money to pay, the money needs to be taken out of the pockets of ordinary people.

  In 2011, both Shanghai and Chongqing’s property tax pilot schemes have exemption clauses: Shanghai’s local household registration residents are exempted from 60 square meters per capita, and Chongqing’s new purchase of 100 square meters is exempted. In addition, there is also a hot discussion about the exemption of 30 square meters or 50 square meters per capita.

  Liu Jianwen told the reporter of China Economic Weekly: "Now public opinion has repeatedly stressed that not all private properties should be taxed, because it involves the protection of taxpayers’ basic right of residence and survival. Therefore, there needs to be a reasonable deduction in the process of taxation, that is, how many areas can be exempted from taxation. I am very supportive of giving necessary deductions in the process of taxation. According to the actual situation in China, I think that the deduction of 30 square meters and 50 square meters per capita can be considered. "

  It is difficult to collect universally.

  If it is exempted, it means that most people’s self-occupied houses or even two sets of self-occupied and improved houses may be within the scope of tax exemption.

  However, with China’s full-scale reform of camp reform on May 1st last year, real estate tax has been entrusted with the important task of shouldering the banner of local fiscal expenditure gap.

  For a long time, business tax is the main source of local tax revenue, and it has the characteristics of stability and controllability. After the reform of the camp, the "business tax" originally belonging to the local tax was suddenly changed to the "value-added tax" of the national tax, and the local tax revenue fell sharply. At present, after the reform of the camp, the central and local governments share the value-added tax 5: 5, but after the transition period, how to establish and improve the local tax system is still a very important issue.

  Coupled with heavy local debts and unsustainable land finance, it is inevitable that real estate tax will be given another important role in many cases.

  Xu Shanda, former deputy director of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, said that three goals were put forward when the real estate tax reform was piloted. The first goal is to increase local government revenue. But now it seems that the scale of property tax revenue in Shanghai and Chongqing is extremely small. The second goal is to narrow the income gap among residents. The third goal is to stabilize housing prices. Real estate tax reform in Shanghai and Chongqing has achieved some results, but it is still unrealistic to expect it to achieve all the reform goals.

  Zhang Bin’s expression is even more direct: the real estate tax of exemption mode will definitely not become the main tax of local governments, because the scope of collection is limited and the income is limited. In this case, the real estate tax can not replace other sources of income of local governments, nor can it fill the local financial gap after the reform of the camp.

  In Zhang Bin’s view, the American-style real estate tax is generally levied, and the money collected is mainly used to meet the funding needs of local public services. If the purpose of introducing real estate tax in China is the same as that in the United States, then the amount of money paid by ordinary people should be large enough to enjoy the services directly linked to local governments.

  "All in all, the first idea of introducing real estate tax to curb housing prices is easier to introduce because of its small coverage, less social debate and less difficulty in launching; However, as the second way to make up for the local financial gap, we should be cautious if it is introduced. Because of the universal collection, thousands of households have to pay taxes, and it is hard to say whether it can be completely collected. " Zhang Bin said.

Barrier-free public facilities reflect civilization. Blind roads can’t "help" scan codes to read mobile versions.


On Haihe East Road (tianjin railway station-Chifeng Bridge), various obstacles are attached to the blind road, which makes it difficult for visually impaired people to pass.

  Tianjin North Network News:When we were young, we all played a video game "Super Mario". Mario, the protagonist of the game, had to cross many hurdles along the way and finally reached the peak of his life. The more obstacles in the game, the more fun the game participants can have. However, in reality, obstacles on the road will only bring inconvenience and safety risks to passers-by. Especially when obstacles are "attached" to the blind road, it is a disaster for visually impaired people.

  The blind road is not dispensable, it is the standard of a city civilization, reflecting whether the city is friendly to visually impaired groups. Perhaps this convex road is not used by many people, but it is "just needed" for everyone who needs to use the blind road.

  This wonderful blind road is very unfriendly.

  Summer evening, Haihe Square, Tianjin Railway Station. People sat on the shore and watched the night view of Haihe River, welcoming the people who were sent, and it was bustling. This is the place where many foreign guests look at and examine Tianjin at first sight, and it is also the most beautiful memory left in the minds of many parting people.

  Walking along Haihe East Road to Chifeng Bridge, walking on the sidewalk, the scenery along the line is excellent, but it seems that there is a little less affinity. Where is the affinity? The reporter sat there and studied it carefully — — It’s a blind road. There’s something wrong with the blind road.

  Walking out of the fence in the Tianjin station area, the blind road suddenly narrowed. Previously, it was more than enough to put your feet on the blind road, while the blind road on Haihe East Road only left the width of one foot. Imagine a visually impaired person walking on a blind road. He needs to keep his feet steady, leave a certain position for the blind stick, and use the blind stick to detect the road ahead, so as to judge his walking direction. And the blind road in front of us, which can only accommodate one foot, is it necessary for the visually impaired to take a "catwalk" on the road?

  Careful observation shows that the sidewalk on Haihe East Road is higher than the non-motor vehicle lane, and the road width is spacious, so the blind road should be built in the safest position on the sidewalk. However, the blind road on Haihe East Road is located in the nearest place to the non-motor vehicle lane. The road less than 50 cm away is just bicycles and electric cars that come and go in a hurry, which means that the visually impaired will fall down the steps if they are not careful, and the risks of spraining their ankles and being hit by other vehicles will increase sharply.

  Look at the obstacles on this blind road, which are varied and involve many departments and units. The manhole cover of the power sector straddles the blind road, and the street lamp pole "happens" to stand in the center of the blind road; Walking around the fire hydrant of the fire department; The street sketch of the garden department is very exquisite. One person’s height is more than one person’s face, right in the middle of the tree, and there is a fire hydrant hidden. According to the National Barrier-free Facilities Standard, blind roads should be laid continuously, and obstacles such as trees, telephone poles, guy wires, tree holes and manhole covers should be avoided, and other facilities should not occupy blind roads.

  If these obstacles can be predicted in advance through the blind stick, then the next "obstacle wall" can really make the visually impaired people unable to find the way forward. Ramps were built from the sidewalk on the Haihe River to the pro-platform, and decorations like piers were set up at the entrance of each ramp. Here, the decorations just blocked the blind road, and there was no guidance on the following road, so the blind road became a "broken road".

  People can see treading on thin ice along the way, but these obstacles are concentrated within a short 200 meters. This 200-meter blind road is like a game level. Even if a healthy person walks with his eyes open, it is inevitable that there will be no bumps.

  The reporter chatted with the public about this blind road. Some people say: "This kind of blind road is redundant. If visually impaired people really walk on it, they will be lucky if they don’t get bruised." Some people also said, "Move the blind road inward and transform the steps into gentle slopes, so that fewer obstacles will make it safer." Others said: "This blind road is like dealing with an errand. Is there a blind road? Yes! Anyway, I built … …”

  The blind road is a "static eye"

  The transportation of visually impaired people is a livelihood issue that cannot be ignored, which has been written into the Measures for the Construction and Management of Barrier-free Facilities in Tianjin. It stands to reason that all the streets and alleys in the city should be equipped with corresponding facilities to help the blind to travel safely.

  What does the blind road mean to the visually impaired? A year ago, our reporter went to Tianjin visually impaired school to find out. The teacher of the school told the reporter that children studying in visually impaired schools will set up directional walking classes in the fifth grade. They must first learn to use the sense of feet and the conduction perception of blind brick on campus to judge the direction of the road. Strip bricks mean that you can go straight, and regular polka-dot bricks mean stopping and turning. Different tactile sensations can let the blind know what changes will occur in the spatial environment of the route ahead. Children in visually impaired schools told reporters through personal experience that they need to keep composing pictures in their minds when they walk. When they walk through this road, they must rely on the feeling under their feet and the hearing of their ears to build a three-dimensional picture. The blind stick in their hands is like a detector, and they can always check the road conditions 1 meter away. When there is an obstacle at a certain point in this picture, it is necessary to bypass it, and this point will stay in this three-dimensional picture for a long time. When you walk next time, you will be particularly careful and even dare not pass here again. It is not until several attempts have been made to find that the obstacle has been removed that this obstacle point may disappear from memory.

  When interviewed in a school for the visually impaired, children always show bruises on their knees and calves when they lift their trousers. Often, this bruise has not subsided, and the next collision will come again. The children told reporters that it was hit on the way home. On campus, teachers take care of them in every way, and all facilities should be guaranteed not to harm blind children; But after stepping out of the campus and entering the society, you will find that some facilities on the road are not friendly to them. This kind of injury stays on their bodies, but it hurts in the hearts of healthy people. More seriously, every collision is a psychological blow to the visually impaired. The greater the blow, the more afraid they will be when they go out — — The obstacles on the road eventually turned into obstacles hidden in their hearts.

  In addition to the obstacles left over during construction, there are also many obstacles erected artificially. For example, it is not uncommon for cars to park in blind roads. Nowadays, it is common for bike-sharing to occupy blind roads, and the litter left by pets on blind roads also makes it difficult for blind people to travel.

  In addition, the color of blind floor tiles is different from that of ordinary floor tiles. Its eye-catching color was originally designed to make it easier for people with slight visual impairment to distinguish, and at the same time, it was also designed to make healthy people look in their eyes and avoid at any time, leaving a safe road for blind people. Its function is to remind and warn, not to become an ornament. To put it more directly, the blind road is not for the healthy people to "watch". The straight and barrier-free blind road is the "just need" of the visually impaired. Even if it looks monotonous, it is a great sustenance for the blind people to travel safely.

  Healthy people should at least put themselves in other’s shoes. If empathy can’t be realized, then simply blindfold yourself, experience it for yourself, and actually take a trip to see if this road can help the visually impaired.

  Barrier-free public facilities embody civilization.

  At the beginning of this century, many enterprises and institutions called on cadres and workers to read a book, Details Decide Success or Failure. From then on, the sentence of the title of the book has been deeply implanted in people’s minds, always saying: success is also detailed, and failure is also detailed. But is "details determine success or failure" really implemented in action?

  Going back to this blind road, watching the high-rise buildings in this city row upon row and the rapid development of urban construction is a kind of momentum and enjoyment. But look at this blind road at the foot, which embodies humanistic care and social justice. Its "details" have been forgotten, at least here the blind road has become a "blind area". Although visually impaired people are a "minority" group in society, their rights and interests can not be ignored, and the relevant government departments should attach great importance to them.

  And how many blind roads are there in Jincheng like Haihe East Road? Should we take this as a guide, re-examine the barrier-free facilities in this city, and make the repairs and changes. From the perspective of planning, designers should make efforts to make blind roads more scientific and reasonable, reduce detours as much as possible, provide straight walking routes for the blind as much as possible, and combine the overall planning of the city with blind roads efficiently and conveniently, so as to make disabled people, including the blind, happy and convenient to travel in this city.

  This is the second time that the "Viewpoint" edition of this newspaper has carried out an in-depth report on the blind road problem. Fortunately, after the publication of the report in 2017, some street crossing lights in our city were equipped with voice control devices, so that the blind can safely cross the street with the rhythm of sound. However, the popularity of such voice-activated indicator lights is still not high, and the voice of guidance is not loud enough. This time, we have an in-depth discussion on the blind road, hoping to make the details of the city more perfect. After all, the municipal facilities that show care for the disabled also show the "soft power" of a city.

  Barrier-free public facilities such as blind roads reflect the civilization level of a city and the moral level of the public. Caring for the blind road is the responsibility of the whole society, which certainly needs to be vigorously publicized to improve the awareness and moral level of caring for the disabled; But the most important thing is management. From the design, construction and maintenance of barrier-free facilities to daily supervision, it is essential to implement it meticulously with the idea of taking the disabled as the center. Ensuring the smoothness of the blind road will make more and more visually impaired people have the courage and confidence to go out of their homes and travel with us in this loving city.

Traditional customs of the 29 th lunar month

NEW YEAR

Happy the Year of the Loong.

Today is the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the folk customs in different places are different. As the old saying goes, "One steaming, two cooking and three sweeping". So what are these customs on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month? What are the historical origins?

Twenty-nine, steamed buns

#1

The folk song "Twenty-nine, Steamed Steamed Steamed Bread", people give full play to their imagination and make steamed bread into various shapes such as peach and small animals. In the past, steamed buns were not made casually, but carefully prepared and carefully, because the steamed buns had to be exchanged with neighbors on blind dates, so they must be made to look good and delicious, which was auspicious and very particular.

In Jiaodong, Shandong Province, steamed buns are to be steamed on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is as important as wrapping jiaozi in the Lunar New Year’s Eve. No matter how busy you are, every household should steam a few pots. "I made a festive steamed bread last year and made a bigger harvest next year." This is Jiaodong people’s blessing for the New Year. In other areas, steamed flower rolls, bean bags and steamed buns are needed on this day, and several pots of good wine are needed in ancient times.

People in the north steam steamed buns and bean bags on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, while some areas in the south will make rice cakes on this day. "The whole family, old and young, worshiped and enjoyed eating the rice cake". The rice cake was fragrant, but it was hard to make. First, we selected the best hybrid rice and glutinous rice as the main ingredients, added various ingredients, steamed it, put it in a mortar, and several people took turns pounding it for 15 minutes. When the rice cake became soft and glutinous, it was considered as a success.

Twenty-nine, go get some wine

Spring

Festival

Wine is a symbol of culture in China. In The Book of Rites, it is said that "drinkers support the elderly, so they support the sick." This kind of thing, wine, is the essence of grain. Of course, ancient wine is very different from modern wine, basically like rice wine or fermented grains now; "Yin Ruins Text Category Compilation" said that "the word wine contained in Oracle inscriptions is the name of sacrifice. The archaeologist recommended the ancestral temple when the wine was ripe, and then the son of heaven and his ministers drank it in the DPRK. " The ancients had already started offering sacrifices to their ancestors with wine, which shows that the custom of drinking alcohol in this festival has been circulating for a long time.

On this day, the family went to host a banquet. First, they thanked their neighbors for their usual care, and they were going to keep their old age during the Chinese New Year, one day in advance, and they were respectful. Secondly, on this day, people in the pre-Qin period are already doing this by going to the ancestral graves to welcome their ancestors and offering offerings, imitating the culture of ancient times and inheriting that spiritual sustenance.

Go to the grave and ask your ancestors to make a big confession.

The twelfth lunar month is a month for offering sacrifices to ancestors. The Book of Rites says that "the month of Meng Dong, the ancestors of Menlu La were worshipped for five times", and Zuo Zhuan says that "the great event of the country is to worship and conquer". In ancient times, the ancestors of the Central Plains were all agricultural peoples, living and working in peace and contentment, and they were often harassed by nomads. Everyone was trying to survive. This is what Rong said about the north.

In the Han Dynasty, resisting the Huns was a matter of vital importance to the country. Like Rong in Zuo Zhuan, it was to fight to defend one’s homeland. Defending our country and offering sacrifices to our ancestors are equally important in the eyes of our ancestors, which is why China paid so much attention to filial piety culture in ancient times, and now everyone’s inheritance is also such a cultural continuation.

One of the most important aspects of filial piety culture is offering sacrifices to ancestors. Where did it come from without inheritance? The reasons why people worship their ancestors are, firstly, the inheritance of filial piety culture, secondly, not forgetting where they come from, and thirdly, educating future generations and not forgetting the glory and suffering of their ancestors. In future life, we should remember the teachings of our ancestors and avoid many crooked roads.

Does the rear-end collision of a zero-running car cause brake failure?

Recently, according to jack bauer hotline, an educational science and technology channel of Zhejiang TV Station, a lady Yu in Hangzhou was driving her own zero-run car two days ago, and the brakes suddenly failed on the road, causing her to rear-end. She thinks this accident has something to do with this braking function of the zero-run car.

Ms. Yu: "Then I brake and step on it, and I feel empty. I feel that it is empty to step on it. Then I actually panic. If I continue to step on it, it will be empty. Then you will watch it hit the car in front."

Speaking of her own experience, Ms. Yu still has a lingering fear. Ms. Yu bought a new energy vehicle six months ago, and the price was about 60 thousand. A few days ago, Ms. Yu drove on the road and experienced a moment of shock.

Ms. Yu: "I went to work at noon on August 26, that is, around 1: 25, and the weather and road conditions were fine, with a speed of forty or fifty yards." Then there was a red light, that is, it was expected to brake and stop, and then it felt like stepping on the brakes, and then it continued to step on the air, feeling that the car could not stop at all, and then it hit the car in front. "

Ms. Yu said that she started to step on the brakes at least 50 meters away from the front car, but the car couldn’t stop and eventually chased the front car. Fortunately, at that time, the speed was not fast, the car damage was not too serious, and there were no casualties. After that, the car was sent to the 4S shop for repair.

Ms. Yu: "They said that my ABS system was activated. If the ABS system was activated, it would definitely be activated after stepping on the brakes. It certainly ruled out the possibility of misoperation at that time."

Ms. Yu provided a chat record to the reporter. The 4S shop staff said that the background data showed that you stepped on the brakes and ABS intervened. Since Ms. Yu did step on the brakes, why didn’t the car stop in time?

Ms. Yu: "The answer he gave me was that no problem was found, and the brake system was all good. Then they asked me to pick up the car. I said that this car was a hidden danger, and I couldn’t take this hidden danger on the road. Then the key point was that there was another problem. I did the first insurance on August 16, and I thought they should have tested the brakes during the first insurance. Then you said that it was tested ten days ago, and my brakes suddenly failed in ten days. Then I was concerned about this matter.

In response to the questions reflected by Ms. Yu, the reporter accompanied her to Xixi Road, Hangzhou Service Center of Zero Run Automobile, and wanted to know more about the situation.

Staff of Xixi Road Store in Hangzhou Service Center of Zero Run Automobile: "Because of this, I am on duty today. I have already contacted him just now, because the car docking person is not here today, so I also told him just now, including the appeal you just said. Then he may contact you. If you have any questions, you can dock with him directly."

The reporter asked: "What is the situation of the car now?" The staff of Xixi Road Store in Hangzhou Service Center of Zero Run Automobile: "The car accident maintenance is ready."

The reporter asked again: "Did you find out what the problem is, the brake system?" Staff of Xixi Road Store in Hangzhou Service Center of Zero Run Automobile: "If you have checked it, because I can’t do it now."

The on-site reporter left contact information, but before the deadline for publication, he never received a reply from the zero run. The reporter found on the Internet that many consumers reported that the T03 brakes failed at zero run. Some netizens reported in July this year that during normal driving, the rear-end traffic accident was caused by brake failure, immobility and partial system failure.

A netizen in Hubei posted that after the car started, the brakes could not be stepped on, and it almost hit the vehicle in front. Another netizen in Guangxi said that T03 was driven downhill for a long time, and the distance was about three kilometers, and the brakes suddenly failed at the bottom of the slope.

So, does the zero-run T03 have any related braking hazards? The reporter also reflected the situation to the national customer service of the zero-running car. The customer service staff of the zero-running car said: "At present, there is no relevant notice here. Even if there is such a situation, it needs to be tested by the offline after-sales store to locate what caused the brake failure."

In view of the situation encountered by Ms. Yu, the retail customer service said that it would give feedback to the after-sales department for handling. "What caused the brake failure, or it needs to be tested by the service store. It is normal for the store to tell you after testing, so we also need to feedback to the after-sales service department for further verification."

New kinetic energy is coming! The post-95 s and post-00 s are pouring into science fiction writing.

  ■ Our reporter Xu Wei

  After winning the "Best Network Science Fiction Award" in the 32nd China Science Fiction Galaxy Award, not long ago, the post-95 online writer Tianrui Shuo Fu won the gold medal of the 14th Chinese Science Fiction Xingyun Award for novels in one fell swoop, and won the gold medal of the new star in 2020-2022. Yao Haijun, deputy editor-in-chief of Science Fiction World and chairman of the jury, commented that the novel bridged the gap between online science fiction and traditional science fiction, and expanded the growth space of science fiction sub-themes.

  Not only him, but also a group of post-95 s and post-00 s Z generation groups are pouring into the production and dissemination of sci-fi network literature with an accelerated attitude, injecting a lot of young blood into the collision and blending of scientific and technological rationality and humanistic care. Network literature has new soil, new frontier themes of science and technology, and the authors are mostly newcomers … … The triple "new" superposition brings strong new kinetic energy to local science fiction writing.

  Science fiction is the first choice for writing online articles after over 70% 00

  In recent years, the trend of young and highly educated authors has accelerated, and the Z generation has risen strongly, which has gradually become a new feature of innovation and change in science fiction online literature. According to the data disclosed in "2022 China Science Fiction Network Literature White Paper" and "2022 China Network Literature Development Research Report", there were more than 42,000 starting platform authors who created science fiction network articles last year, and 72% of the authors who chose science fiction themes for the first time in 2022 were after 00; Last year, 42,080 sci-fi works were added, a year-on-year increase of nearly 70%; About 70% of the sci-fi category contracted authors are undergraduate students or above. Whether in creative practice or reading works, sci-fi online texts have become the main channel for young people to get in touch with sci-fi culture.

  Talking elbow, sweeping the world, selling newspaper Xiao Langjun, Montenegro old ghost, I eat tomatoes, get down to business, things in the fire, Kong Changqing and other online authors have successively launched new works on science fiction themes, which enrich the content style of science fiction themes from different perspectives. Taking Tian Rui Shuo Fu, a 26-year-old, as an example, the masterpiece "We Live in Nanjing" has been ranked first on the best-selling list in qidian for a long time. It tells the story of the survival of the three-year-old male poplar who accidentally contacted the female Pinellia who lived in the same geographical location in 2040 through the radio. Wei Li, a professor at Nanjing Normal University, commented — — In addition to professional sci-fi settings, wonderful stories and delicate emotions, the works also show a scarce aesthetic style, and finally complete the "new sci-fi" experiment of hardcore sci-fi achieving aesthetic stories.

  On the one hand, Tianrui narrator pursues "hard core" — — The famous work "Die on Mars" lists a long list of bibliographic documents, citing the scientific research papers about mission to mars and spacecraft design in the past, which makes many space fans hooked. On the other hand, he also insisted that the hard core of science fiction should also serve the readability of the text. "Technical details are like bricks and tiles of the story structure, which are used to enhance the credibility of the story, rather than becoming a reading obstacle for readers."

  Netizens spontaneously "take notes" to activate the community ecology.

  It is not difficult to find that young online writers pay more attention to readers’ feedback and interaction. This also reflects from one side that the community ecology of sci-fi network literature is rapidly maturing. Many users showed extraordinary initiative, actively participated in spontaneous popular science interaction, and spontaneously sorted out knowledge points and wrote long "notes" in the discussion area of works with the help of the online platform, that is, the time period chapter evaluation and other forms.

  For example, in the comment area of Tianrui’s commentary "We Live in Nanjing", there are radio technology enthusiasts who explain the definition and usage of related professional terms online; In the comment area of Morningstar LL’s "Black Technology System of Xueba", some readers answered questions in detail about "weekly conjecture", "twin prime conjecture" and "corner and valley conjecture", which once triggered a large-scale scientific topic exchange.

  Not long ago, the "Top Ten Famous Scenes" in the online text was announced, and the scene "Change Back" in Chapter 212 of Yuan Tong’s novel "Deep Sea embers" was selected. He bluntly said that with the growing science fiction market, there are more professionals who know science fiction, and the readers are crouching tiger, which in turn encourages the author to strive for perfection. "The competition in the leaderboard is fierce, and there are many young authors. After 90 s or even 00 s, net authors emerge. Writing science fiction requires a flexible mind and a new knowledge base. The younger the author, the newer the knowledge base. " Looking forward to it, works such as "Deep Sea embers" can convey the attitude of adhering to an optimistic life to netizens. "It would be better if everyone can read it with a smile and get the courage and enlightenment to face life from the story."

  Passing positive energy and feelings of home and country through science fiction is also the vision of the post-95 writers in September sauce. He used to be an overseas treasurer of a large company and worked in Africa for many years. He combined local knowledge, industry knowledge and imagination to complete the serial update of Science and Technology of Great Countries, showing the progress of all aspects of the country through scientific and technological details, and his works reached 17,000.

  The "long tail effect" of sci-fi IP has become more and more prominent.

  Traditional sci-fi motifs have grown into a series of new fusion writing directions in the context of online literature, covering many sub-categories, such as evolutionary superpower, interstellar civilization, super technology, etc., and enriching the content ecology of sci-fi online texts. According to incomplete statistics, evolutionary superpower, future world and interstellar civilization are the sub-themes with obvious increase in recent three years. In 2022, the number and scale doubled compared with that in 2020, satisfying readers’ diversified reading expectations, while the number of works with existing themes such as ancient martial arts mecha and time travel declined.

  "The exploration of sci-fi themes is going deep. The authors are no longer satisfied with the simple application of sci-fi symbols such as mecha and crossing, but more deeply integrate cutting-edge scientific and technological elements such as big data, space exploration, artificial intelligence and biotechnology, as well as the memory of the younger generation and feelings of home and country into their works, showing the social responsibility and cultural responsibility of the new generation of online literature creation teams." Some scholars have mentioned, for example, that the smile of 300 Jin, the author of post-90 s sci-fi net, used biotechnology to create a wise miniature bacterial civilization in My Universe in a Bottle. After 1995, the authors September Sauce, Explosives, etc. incorporated the cutting-edge technologies such as simulators, chips, aero-engines, mechanical exoskeletons, nuclear power, and intelligent brain machines into Great Power Science and Technology and Crossing into the Guardian AI of a Lost Civilization, trying to give the sci-fi theme a brand-new look, which, to a certain extent, constitutes a representative with sci-fi net texts such as Deep Space, Retrospection of the Millennium, Legend of Cyberheroes and Nomenclature of the Night.

  Sci-fi network literature such as The Beginning, The Naming of the Night and Forty Thousand Years of the Star Domain have been developed into movies, cartoons, audio books and peripheral derivatives, and the "long tail effect" of sci-fi IP has gradually become prominent. In the new stage of China’s online writing "going out to sea", the works "going out" represented by "The Age of the Earth" and "Supernatural Machinist" are typical samples of sci-fi online writing "telling the story of China well and spreading the voice of China well", which shows the rising overseas influence of China’s sci-fi online literature.

If you can’t find a "light cat" when you quit broadband, you have to pay 200 yuan?

Recently, some users reported that when they unsubscribed from the broadband service in Unicom’s business hall, the business hall demanded to return the "light cat", and the "gift" that consumers thought at first turned into "lease". If they could not find it, they would need to compensate 200 yuan or even more. According to a survey conducted by Beijing Youth Daily, in addition to China Unicom, users in China Mobile, China Telecom and gehuayouxian also complained about similar problems. On the second-hand market, a large number of "off-net-only" light cats have appeared correspondingly, and the price is only 25 yuan. Users said that many users were not clear about the contents of the contract when handling business, and they did not know much about whether the hardware such as light cats and set-top boxes were given or rented, such as the loss of compensation price, the installation fee or deposit, and so on. In order to promote sales, the staff deliberately blurred the statement, resulting in continuous problems when withdrawing broadband.

phenomenon

Many people spit out that "unsubscribing broadband requires retiring cats"

Recently, Ms. Tu, a user, reported that she had encountered a "pit-stepping incident" when she retired from Unicom’s broadband. She said that she couldn’t find the light cat when she moved. When she went to Unicom’s business hall to quit the network, the staff said that "the equipment lost needs compensation, and it costs more than 200 pieces". She even thanked herself for not having Gigabit broadband. "Otherwise, it seems to cost more than 700 pieces."

User Mr. Zhang also had a similar experience. He told the reporter of Beiqing Daily: "I applied for Unicom broadband in the rented house at that time. Later, I had to stop using broadband because I went abroad. I called customer service and requested to stop, but the other party asked me to return the light cat. I said that the light cats were left to the landlord, thinking that they were gifts, and it was not good to go back and disassemble them. After returning to China, I found that I had been on Unicom’s’ blacklist’ and could not handle any business. "

Users in China Telecom and gehuayouxian also said that their experiences were similar: "When it comes to the light cat, it comes to anger. The advertisements all say that the light cat will be given as soon as it is opened, and it will be rented for free when it is opened, but when it is broken, you will be asked to pay for a replacement, and you will have to return it when you return it." "Only when I lost it did I know that the set-top box was not a gift. When you start a business, you say that you will give it away. If you don’t pay it back, you will lose money. "

The second-hand market appears "special optical cat set-top box for quitting the network"

"There are all kinds of good attitudes when doing business, and it is difficult to stop using it." According to the investigation of Beiqing Daily reporter, there are many similar complaints. Most users are very dissatisfied with the fact that they were not clearly informed of various matters when handling. In order to promote broadband, salesmen will not clearly inform users of some key matters in advance, including which hardware equipment to return when unsubscribing, how long the contract period is, whether the deposit is paid or the installation fee is paid, which leads to users being "kept in the dark".

In some second-hand platforms, there are even a number of light cats and set-top boxes sold specifically for returning to the business hall, and the prices are very cheap.

"Off-line optical cat set-top box, full set of accessories, Unicom Telecom Mobile, to ensure successful off-line!" A merchant told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that a set of set-top boxes in 29 yuan includes set-top boxes, remote controls, power cords and all accessories of hd line. A set of cat 25 yuan, including cat and power supply; Both cats and set-top boxes need 50 yuan.

The merchant said that these goods are all bad and can’t be used for personal use, but if you take them and return them to the net, you can "guarantee that there is no problem. Just confirm the receipt after you successfully return the net".

The reporter of Beiqing Daily saw that there are many merchants selling similar "special light cats for quitting the network", and their sales volume is also quite large. A store has sold thousands of units.

survey

Operators call the equipment "leased" and need to return it.

Due to the sales skills, many users will be confused whether these devices promised to be "given" when they access the network are legally "given" or "rented". The reporter of Beiqing Daily called the Unicom broadband expert as a consumer and asked, "How to handle broadband, will you give a light cat?" The other party repeatedly said, "We will provide you with the light cat and the box, and then you can give the master an installation fee." The whole process did not mention whether it was "gift" or "rental". In order to find out the specific policies for unsubscribing broadband, Beiqing Daily reporters called the operator’s customer service to inquire.

The customer service staff of Beijing Unicom told the reporter of Beiqing Daily: "Light cats are rented to users free of charge, and if broadband unsubscribe business is handled, they will be returned to the business hall". The contract period will take three years to be owned by users. If lost, 200 yuan or 400 yuan will be compensated respectively according to the different types of light cats.

Beijing Mobile’s customer service said that the light cats and set-top boxes that were given when the broadband subscription was cancelled need to be returned. If they are three years old, they don’t need to be returned. If they are lost, they need compensation, namely 250 yuan and 220 yuan.

The customer service staff of Beijing Telecom told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that Guangmao is rented to users free of charge, but it must be returned to the business hall when it is returned. No matter how long the contract period is, Guangmao must be returned. If it is lost, 300 yuan will be compensated.

In addition, the customer service staff of Beijing gehuayouxian replied to the reporter of Beiqing Daily that when unsubscribing from the cable TV service, they need to return the set-top box. If they are lost, they should compensate 200 yuan for more than 5 years, 400 yuan for 2 -5 years and 600 yuan for 1 -2 years.

press sb for an interview

There are different opinions about the deposit and installation fee. A "cat" may not get the money back.

In addition to the question about returning the light cat, many users also reported that they paid the deposit or installation fee when they handled the business, and they were not told clearly, which led to trouble when they unsubscribed.

User Ms. Wang reported that she subscribed to Unicom’s broadband service in November 2021. At that time, the staff said that the optical cat was rented for free, but she had to pay a "deposit" from 200 yuan, and she could get the deposit back after returning the optical cat later. Ms. Wang believes that "it is a normal rule to rent something and pay a deposit, so she accepted it." However, when I went to the business hall to return the cat in March this year, the staff also said that the money paid before was "installation fee", not "deposit".

Ms. Wang also said that the staff did not give her a deposit certificate when handling broadband business at that time. However, when she contacted the business hall to quit the network, the online customer service kept asking her for a deposit slip, and she could not return it without a deposit slip; The offline staff also said that there was no such thing as a deposit. The salesman who had previously handled it belonged to the franchisee and had already withdrawn from the store. You need to find this salesman before you can give it back. Finally, Ms. Wang returned the light cat, and the business hall did not refund the deposit.

So, is the fee paid at the time of handling a deposit or an installation fee? The reporter of Beiqing Daily called the business hall of Beijing Unicom, and got a response that at present, the broadband service generally only needs to pay the installation fee of 100 yuan, and there is no deposit requirement. The business hall will rent the router and cat all-in-one machine to the user for free, and return the all-in-one machine to the business hall when logging off the network, but the specific charges need to be based on the requirements of the business hall in this region.

However, after the reporter of Beiqing Daily dialed Unicom’s customer service again and asked about the inconsistent statement about the deposit online and offline, the customer service said that because the broadband business is handled online, the deposit can be refunded when the cat is returned. The deposit may not be refunded because it has not been three years, and I need to go to the offline business hall to inquire. It can be seen that the different customer service statements of an operator of Unicom are inconsistent, and it is no wonder that consumers are confused.

analyse

The behavior of light cat deducting fees is unreasonable, and the fees are mostly installation fees.

The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that the total number of broadband access users in China has reached 614 million. According to the public data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the number of fixed broadband access users increased steadily in the first half of 2023. By the end of June, the total number of fixed Internet broadband access users of the three basic telecommunications companies reached 614 million, a net increase of 24.68 million over the end of last year. At the same time, the income from fixed Internet broadband services has also achieved steady growth. In the first half of the year, the income from Internet broadband services completed by three basic telecommunications companies was 130.1 billion yuan, up 6.3% year-on-year. With the steady growth of fixed broadband access users, the relationship between operators and users is becoming more and more important for the good operation of communication industry economy.

In the investigation, the reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that when handling business in the early stage, users must carefully check the agreement. There are three points that need special attention: First, it is necessary to find out whether the package includes light cats, set-top boxes, cables, plugs, etc. Whether the physical equipment needs to be returned when logging out of the network; Second, ask whether the fee charged is a refundable hardware rental deposit or a one-time installation fee; The third point is to keep invoices, receipts, etc. to avoid losses caused by incomplete information when you quit the network later.

So, is there a problem with this practice of operators? According to Chen Yinjiang, Deputy Secretary-General of china law society Consumer Law Research Association, ordinary consumers will regard light cats as "gifts" rather than "rentals" as operators say, because operators have not fulfilled their obligation of "informing". He stressed that operators must ensure that consumers are fully informed in advance. When opening, they should inform consumers that these goods should be returned. It is best to let consumers choose whether to rent them, otherwise they may be suspected of infringing consumers’ "right to know".

Fu Liang, an independent telecom analyst, said that there are indeed many problems in the return of the light cat. Most of the money collected is not a deposit, but an installation fee. In addition, the light cat is free to use, and there is no need to return it after a certain number of years, but first, this number of years is not clear most of the time; Second, when returning a cat, all accessories are required, but some cheap accessories are not in use, so users can’t return them if they can’t find them. Fu Liang suggested that operators should pay attention to the management details of the "whole life cycle" of broadband users and family package users, and give users a sense of belonging. Otherwise, some details may bring users the feeling of being "trapped".
