Doing Three Great Articles Well —— A Survey of Langfang, Hebei Province’s Integration into the Coordinated Development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province

  Langfang, Hebei Province, the nearest city to Beijing, is the core area for the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. Once upon a time, Langfang people tasted the advantage of "enjoying the cool under a big tree" and realized the "growing trouble" of being less competitive and attractive than Beijing and Tianjin.

  On February 26th, 2014, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader hosted a forum in Beijing, which promoted the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to a national strategy for the first time, and opened a new chapter in the development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. In the past seven years, new progress has been made in the practice of exploring the optimal development model and realizing regional coordinated development in densely populated areas.

  The sense of urgency of Langfang people is increasing day by day: how should Langfang settle down?

  Facing the choice, Langfang should make an answer.

  Seeking change: solving "worries" with "Excellence"

  Langfang has experienced the process of bearing heavy burdens and gaining momentum.

  The growth rate of GDP is lower than that of the whole province for two consecutive years; The added value of real estate accounts for 17.8% of GDP; Investment in fixed assets is mainly driven by infrastructure construction, and the major industries put into production are obviously insufficient, and there is a lack of major industrial support projects … …

  "The biggest challenge for our development is weak economic growth and insufficient development potential. Overdeveloped real estate has squeezed the development space of the real economy and raised the land price of the project, resulting in less physical projects and insufficient development support in recent years. " Yang Xiao, secretary of the Langfang Municipal Party Committee, analyzed that the biggest opportunity for Langfang’s development is the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and the accelerated construction of xiong’an new area. In particular, the construction of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the track has been accelerated, so that the advantages of Langfang’s "location+transportation" have truly aggregated and become a reality, and various resource elements have accelerated.

  The advantage of Langfang lies in the "corridor". How to give full play to the location advantage of the "golden corridor" between Beijing, Tianjin and Xiongxiong? Langfang’s worry lies in "housing". How to speed up the cracking of the abnormal industrial structure of real estate "one production dominates the whole"? The key to exploring the road in Langfang is to solve "worries" with "Excellence".

  In the strategic layout of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, Langfang not only has location advantages, but also has many real money policy dividends. With the implementation of relevant regional development plans, "crevice confusion" has become a "rising wing" to accelerate development — —

  In April 2017, xiong’an new area was born, and Wen ‘an, Dacheng and Bazhou in the south of Langfang were able to take advantage of their geographical proximity and popularity, and entered a new track in docking and serving Xiong ‘an.

  On September 25, 2019, Beijing Daxing International Airport was officially put into operation. Relying on this world-class aviation hub, China’s first airport economic zone, free trade pilot zone and comprehensive bonded zone across provincial administrative regions successively landed, and Beijing Daxing District and Langfang City shared the "three-zone superposition" bonus.

  On March 17th, 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the Coordinated Development Plan of Tongzhou District in Beijing and Sanhe, Dachang and Xianghe Counties in Hebei Province, which gradually cracked down the barriers and obstacles that restricted the integration of the "three northern counties" into Tongzhou District.

  Around these three opportunities, Langfang has laid out three major articles: the three northern counties should speed up their integration into the construction of Beijing’s sub-center, build an efficient and integrated infrastructure network, strengthen industrial cooperation, jointly create a natural and beautiful ecological environment, and take the lead in realizing the integrated and coordinated development of the three northern counties and Tongzhou District; Relying on the rise of the airport economic zone, the central plate is coordinated with the Beijing area in planning, misplaced in industry and in the same direction and standard in policy, developing high-end high-tech industries and creating a window for opening up; By serving xiong’an new area to take advantage of the development, the Southern Plate promotes the communication, builds a green ecological barrier, strengthens the industrial cooperation and docking, and realizes the coordinated development, linkage development, dislocation development and integrated development with xiong’an new area.

  "In the next five years, we will make every effort to promote coordinated development and accelerate the creation of a pioneering area for integrated development with Beijing and Tianjin. Insist on grasping and making good use of the major opportunities for coordinated development, and do a solid job in deepening Beijing, integrating into the airport, and leveraging Xiong’ an to promote the comprehensive improvement of the three major sectors in North, South and Central China. " This passage was written into the "Government Work Report" of Langfang City.

  Make a decision and move, and move is practical. Since 2019, Beijing and Langfang North County have signed more than 120 projects with a total investment of 80 billion yuan, covering key areas such as high-tech industries, medical and health care, and aged care services.

  When inspecting the construction of Daxing Airport in Beijing, General Secretary of Supreme Leader once called the new Beijing airport "a new power source for national development". This "power source" is a strategic opportunity for the future development of Langfang.

  Miracles are done. In the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" of Hebei Province, Beijing Daxing International Airport Airport Airport Economic Zone was laid out as "a new investment hotspot and a new economic growth point in the whole province". Following the comprehensive start of 127 projects with a total investment of 16 billion yuan last year, Langfang Airport Economic Zone will start to implement 311 projects with a total investment of 33.5 billion yuan this year, so that it can gradually have the adsorption and bearing capacity of super-large projects.

  The government is thinking about change and Philip Burkart, and enterprises are also seeking innovation and change. Dingsheng Investment Group, located in sanhe city, Langfang, is the earliest private enterprise engaged in real estate development in the city. Under the new situation, this enterprise has accelerated its transformation and built a 3D printing science and technology park base.

  Zhao Yucheng, deputy general manager of Dingsheng Investment Group, told the reporter that to accelerate the transformation and development of enterprises and build a 3D printing science and technology park base, it is necessary to rely on the advantages of intensive talents and technical resources in Beijing and Tianjin to build factories and platforms for pilot tests, public tests and common technical services to attract 3D printing enterprises to settle in. After the project is completed, it will form the largest 3D printing industry cluster in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

  Promoting the "second venture" of private enterprises and letting old trees bloom with new flowers is one of the new growth points that Langfang strives to cultivate. In the main battlefield of economic activities, the strong will of investment cadres and business leaders in Langfang Economic Development Zone and High-tech Zone to seek change and development is beyond words. On May 28th, Langfang fully implemented the "second venture" of private economy for three years, which made many private enterprises like Dingsheng Investment Group full of entrepreneurial passion.

  The future of Langfang is limitless.

  Population is an important index to measure the vitality of regional development. According to the results of the seventh population census, Langfang, Foshan, Dongguan and other eight prefecture-level cities have been among the ones with a population increase of over 1 million in the past ten years, making them the only finalists in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. A detailed analysis of the characteristics of population inflow in Langfang shows that the population of sanhe city, Gu ‘an County, Guangyang District, Bazhou City, Anci District and Xianghe County all increased by more than 100,000 people, accounting for 84.31% of the population increase in the past 10 years. It is not difficult to see that the place with the largest population inflow is the area with the closest integration of major national strategies such as the coordinated development of Langfang and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the airport economic zone and the construction of xiong’an new area.

  By the end of 2020, Langfang Municipal Committee has defined the urban development orientation of "accelerating the construction of innovative Langfang, digital Langfang, healthy Langfang, safe Langfang and quality Langfang". "We must promote high-quality development that matches the location advantage, is opposite to the economic foundation, is compatible with the requirements of the provincial party Committee, and is in line with the wishes of the people." Yang Xiao and so said.

  Integration: "Xing" produces "Wang" city

  Yanjiao area in Sanhe, which is separated from Tongzhou District of Beijing by a river, was once called "Sleeping City": hundreds of thousands of people wake up from here every day, get on the bus to Beijing, and then transfer to the subway to work in downtown Beijing.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei should focus on adjusting and optimizing urban layout and spatial structure, promoting urban division of labor and cooperation, improving the integration level of urban agglomerations, and improving their comprehensive carrying capacity and connotation development level.

  For Langfang, there must be something new in the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, not just as a "sleeping city". It has been roughly estimated that 80% of the nearly one million permanent residents in Yanjiao are floating population, and 30% of them work in Beijing.

  Bao Chenguang was once a member of this "commuting army".

  "In 2013, I worked in Beijing’s North Second Ring Road and lived in Yanjiao. It took me five or six hours to go back and forth every day." Later, Bao Chenguang, who couldn’t stand the pain of running around, started his own business and opened a company selling software and hardware equipment for smart agriculture in Yanjiao. After a small achievement, he transformed again, from sales to research and development. In 2019, Bao Chenguang’s Waldorf Hebei Instrument Technology Co., Ltd. passed the high-tech enterprise certification.

  What prompted Bao Chenguang’s transformation was that he found a hot spot for entrepreneurship in Yanjiao — — Xingyuan Hi-Tech Industrial Park. "In 2014, it is planned to build a titanium material processing project here. After getting the land, it has not started yet, and it was stopped because of high energy consumption." Liu Yongcheng, chairman of Xingyuan Hi-Tech Industrial Park, said that the land can’t be returned, so he changed his mind and became a science and technology complex for cultivating science and technology enterprises. "Enterprises must reach three ‘ Threshold ’ : high technology, low energy consumption and zero pollution. "

  Xingyuan Hi-Tech Industrial Park is located in Yanjiao National High-tech Development Zone, sanhe city. Over the past few years, this 120-acre park has settled in 86 enterprises, of which 11 enterprises have been recognized as "high-tech enterprises" and 45 enterprises have been recognized as "small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises".

  In Yanjiao, with the rise of more than 10 science and technology parks similar to Xingyuan Hi-Tech, the former "sleeping city" has awakened. Bao Chenguang said: "The employees of our company are basically Yanjiao residents, and Yanjiao has a talent advantage in cultivating science and technology enterprises."

  According to the idea of "Beijing R&D, Three Rivers Transformation", sanhe city explores the mode of science and technology park to activate space resources. At present, the development trend of 27 science and technology parks clusters in eight categories, such as tailor-made, real estate transformation and idle land revitalization, has been initially formed, with a total construction area of 4.28 million square meters, of which 19 science and technology parks have been built and 781 science and technology enterprises have settled in, with an average investment intensity of 4 million yuan per mu and an annual average tax contribution of 500,000 yuan. In 2020, the sales income and profits and taxes will reach 9.26 billion yuan, accounting for 1.82 billion yuan.

  Sanhe took the lead in taking a new step in cracking down on "real estate dependence": during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the proportion of real estate investment in sanhe city decreased from 46.5% to 20.4%, and the proportion of tax revenue decreased from 57.4% to 30.4%; The proportion of industrial investment rose from 25.8% to 28.7%, and the proportion of tax revenue rose from 16.7% to 26.9%. The proportion of investment in services other than real estate increased from 27.7% to 50.9%, and the proportion of tax revenue increased from 14.7% to 31.9%.

  "To achieve high-quality development, we must break the rigid thinking of cadres and enterprises’ excessive dependence on real estate, change from grasping real estate to grasping the real economy, guide the transformation of single residential real estate to functional real estate, and change the residential real estate into ‘ A gold digger ’ For functional real estate ‘ Sustainable contribution ’ 。” Liu Lianjie, secretary of the Sanhe Municipal Party Committee, said that the plot ratio of industrial land in 27 science and technology parks in the city is close to 2.0, far exceeding the standard of "plot ratio of industrial land is not lower than 1.0" stipulated by provinces and cities, and the intensive and efficient use of land has been realized, and the projects should be dropped quickly. At the same time, it also changed the state of "some people are unemployed" in Sanhe.

  On the same land, only people build houses, and some people are unemployed, which is a hammer sale; "Building a house" for enterprises, people and businesses are thriving, and the water can flow forever. The transformation is not to want real estate, but to have real estate with the integration of production and city. It is to let people who buy houses stay and work, not to speculate in real estate.

  50 kilometers south of Tiananmen Square in Beijing, across the Yongding River, is Gu ‘an County in Langfang. "If you have property, you must have a city, and you can’t do that ‘ Dead city ’ It’ s like an industrial zone, and it’ s dark at night, and it’ s necessary to integrate the production city. " Fu Shunyi, secretary of the Gu ‘an County Party Committee, believes that it is necessary to coordinate the production and living ecology in order to achieve livability, industry and tourism.

  Gu’ an has been at the forefront in the integration of production and city. Twenty years ago, Gu ‘an County was still an agricultural county. The fishing tackle, casing, filter element and plastic in the manufacturing field were scattered but not refined, which was the "old four" that supported the county’s industry. The county’s annual fiscal revenue just exceeded 100 million yuan. In 2002, Gu ‘an County cooperated with enterprises to build a new industrial city in Gu ‘an, covering planning and design, land consolidation, infrastructure construction, public facilities construction, industrial development services and comprehensive urban operation.

  After 20 years of continuous integration, the "old four" of Gu ‘an industry has evolved into "new 313": three leading industries: electronic information, aerospace and life and health; A leading industry based on science and technology innovation; Three characteristic industries: airport service, recreation and sports, and modern agriculture. As a result, Gu ‘an also jumped into the first echelon of county comprehensive strength in Hebei Province. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the general public budget revenue totaled 23.187 billion yuan, ranking the top three in Hebei Province.

  Gu ‘an also has the problem that the proportion of real estate in the industrial structure is too large. Fu Shunyi said that he would play "three cards".

  The first card is "born out of nothing". Do a good job in deepening the electronic information industry, focus on new displays, strengthen key links and weak links in the industrial chain, play the role of leading enterprises such as Visionox and BOE, and actively attract upstream and downstream core supporting enterprises such as cover glass and display terminals. More than 50 enterprises have gathered in the electronic information industry chain in Gu ‘an County, forming a new display industry cluster with completely independent intellectual property rights, which is rare in China.

  The second card is "out of thin air". Make good use of Gu ‘an’s location advantages and focus on cultivating future industries. Promote the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, and build a digital industrial cluster with strong competitiveness. Around the projects under construction such as JD.COM, Lego and Zhongtong, Gu ‘an will cultivate and guide new digital commerce and upstream and downstream derivative enterprises. Accelerate the cultivation of future industries with great leading role, such as virtual reality, commercial aerospace, biotechnology and life sciences.

  The third card is "borrowing a house to produce". Under the premise of adhering to the principle of "housing and not speculating", we will cultivate new industries, guide the transformation of traditional real estate into industrial real estate, talent real estate, education real estate and kangyang real estate, and build a new pattern of mutual promotion and common progress between production and city.

  Practice has proved that the integration of production and city is one of the realistic paths to realize the orientation of urban development.

  Synergy: Undertaking Achievement and Development

  "Can’t say ‘ I found all the dishes in the basket ’ Integrated development can not only be a spatial transfer, but also take this opportunity to transform, upgrade and upgrade. " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader used the metaphor of image to analyze the development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

  The functional disintegration of Beijing’s non-capital is the "bull nose" for the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. As far as Langfang is concerned, the Hebei Provincial Party Committee has also made an overall positioning of "an important bearing place for Beijing’s non-capital functions and a model city for the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei".

  Undertake what? Beijing’s industry, which can’t be put aside, can’t be separated and can’t go far, was written into the Coordinated Development Plan of Tongzhou District of Beijing and Sanhe, Dachang and Xianghe in Hebei Province. The plan clearly points out that the industrial development focus of Tongzhou District and Beisan County and the collaborative division of labor in the industrial chain: Tongzhou District focuses on the layout of cutting-edge technology research and development links, high-end links of scientific and technological innovation and services, while Beisan County focuses on the pilot incubation link, manufacturing link and supporting services to achieve industrial synergy with Tongzhou District.

  Yang Xiao and think, to undertake "non-capital functions" is not simply to pursue the overall relocation of enterprises and units, but to make efforts to increase new functions and split stocks.

  In Langfang National Economic and Technological Development Zone, the electronic information industry, represented by big data industry, has risen rapidly and become an important support of Langfang’s electronic information industry. "Large-scale data storage is impossible in Beijing, especially the storage of hot data. If the layout is too far away, it will increase the maintenance cost of enterprises." Xinwen Xu, deputy director of the Economic Development Bureau of Langfang Economic Development Zone, said that the 20-minute high-speed train ride from Beijing is the biggest advantage of Langfang in developing the big data industry.

  From 2018 to 2020, Langfang City has held the Digital Economy Conference for three consecutive years. At present, Langfang Economic Development Zone has basically formed a big data industry cluster represented by Huawei, Runze, China Unicom, JD.COM and other enterprises. By the end of 2020, Langfang has built 613,000 square meters of data center, 330,000 square meters of big data application center, 57,700 cabinets and more than 1 million servers. The main business income of key backbone enterprises last year was 21.01 billion yuan.

  In 2020, 70 electronic information enterprises in Langfang achieved an output value of 17.565 billion yuan, and the added value accounted for 29.2% of the added value of all high-tech enterprises, contributing 24.5%; The added value of regulated high-tech industries accounted for 35.6% of the regulated industries, which was 11.69 percentage points higher than that of 23.91% in 2015 and 16.2 percentage points higher than the average level of Hebei province, reflecting the trend of the city’s industrial structure continuing to move towards high-end high-tech.

  How to undertake? At the industrial level, the pattern of "Beijing R&D and Langfang Transformation Incubation Industrialization" is accelerating. Many Beijing enterprises have advanced technology, but they often encounter land use problems when expanding their production scale.

  "We are an instrument manufacturing enterprise and have no requirements for large factories, but the supporting services, innovative environment and traffic conditions must be good." Zhao Kang, deputy general manager of Beijing Haiguang Instrument Co., Ltd., said that they were originally in the urban area of Beijing. Because of the limited development space, although the new products independently developed by enterprises are leading domestically in technology, they cannot be produced on a large scale. After entering Sanhe in 2016, the production area of Haiguang Instruments has more than doubled, and four new products of atomic fluorescence spectrometry instruments have been successfully produced, and the sales revenue has reached 150 million yuan from the previous 70 million yuan to 80 million yuan.

  Yang Yanwei, Mayor of Langfang City, said that around the direction of "Beijing’s R&D and Langfang’s transformation and incubation industrialization", Langfang has built 27 collaborative innovation bases, including Tsinghua University (Gu ‘an) pilot incubation base, and 17 Jinglang agricultural science and technology collaborative innovation platforms and achievement transformation bases. More than 90% of the city’s science and technology enterprises have established close cooperation with Beijing-Tianjin scientific research institutes and universities, and a group of Beijing-Tianjin high-end science and technology innovation teams and leading talents have come to Langfang to innovate and start businesses. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the city signed a total of 1,734 Beijing achievement transformation projects, and the total turnover of technology contracts reached 5.81 billion yuan.

  Where to take it? The 14 development zones above the provincial level are called the "main battlefield" of Langfang’s economic development, the "money bag" of fiscal revenue and the "bull’s nose" of economic development. It is understood that the planned area of Langfang Development Zone is 366.5 square kilometers, accounting for 5.7% of the city’s land area; At present, the built-up area is 182.42 square kilometers, accounting for 2.83% of the city’s land area. Less than 3% of the built-up areas are concentrated in the "essence" of Langfang’s economy: the development zone carries 70% of the city’s tax revenue, more than 90% of emerging industries, more than 80% of new projects and 99% of imported foreign capital.

  In Xianghe Economic Development Zone, a robot town has accelerated its growth. This "Garden in the Garden", which was selected as the first batch of characteristic towns in Hebei Province, is led by the robot industry and has become an intelligent technology characteristic town integrating intelligent manufacturing, incubation acceleration, creative display and industrial tourism through supporting centers such as industry, ecology and service.

  "The town mainly undertakes the industrial transfer of robots and artificial intelligence technology in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, accurately focuses on industrial robots and cultivates service robots, and at the same time strengthens the integration of core components and systems to create an industrial robot industry cluster integrating R&D, production and sales." Liu Hongtao, director of China Merchants Bureau of Xianghe Economic Development Zone, said that the town relies on the advantages of integrated development of the three northern counties and Beijing sub-centers in the same city to undertake the spillover of high-end production factors in Beijing nearby. By the end of December, 2020, the town has signed contracts with more than 150 leading robot enterprises such as An Chuan Dulin, ATI, Nimak and Huitianwei.

  Xianghe Robot Town has introduced famous domestic universities such as Beihang University, Beijing University of Technology and civil aviation university of china to carry out Industry-University-Research cooperation, and successively established Industry-University-Research cooperation institutions such as Beihang Intelligent Technology and Robot (Xianghe) Research Center, Beijing University of Technology High Precision Harmonic Reducer Joint Research and Development Center and civil aviation university of china Practice Base.

  Seven parks and carrier projects, including Langfang Economic and Technological Development Zone, were included in the key platform for Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei industrial transfer. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, Langfang City introduced 552 Beijing-Tianjin projects with a capital of 252.08 billion yuan. In the industrial layout of Langfang, Bazhou, Wen ‘an and Dacheng in the south will focus on the development of high-end equipment manufacturing, new materials, energy conservation and environmental protection and other emerging industries around the demand of xiong’an new area, and build a platform to connect with xiong’an new area’s industrial chain according to the modes of "R&D in new district+peripheral incubation and transformation", "Headquarters in new district+peripheral processing facilities" and "High-end in new district+peripheral services".

  Juli: Only a promising person can have a place.

  53,000 landscape trees and shrubs were planted in one month, and the total earthwork in two months exceeded 1.6 million cubic meters … … In Langfang Airport Economic Zone, people are surprised not only by the speed of construction, but also by people’s spirit.

  Langfang people once thought that they were the "cabbage heart" of the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. When the national strategic chess pieces fell on Langfang’s head, it was inevitable that they would feel complacent and self-sufficient. With the advantage of location, small development will be complacent; Compare your own fast and good indicators with others, "a handsome man covers a hundred ugliness." However, in the chess game of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development, Langfang, which should have seized the initiative, gradually found itself caught in the thinking mode of "small" Langfang, which could not run fast or far.

  How should Langfang transform its regional advantages into practical development advantages? How to achieve high-quality development that is equal to the economic base? A great discussion on emancipating the mind rose among cadres. In the words of Yang Xiao and, Langfang can’t be full of small achievements! With the completion of Daxing Airport, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei are more integrated into the international stage. Langfang should look at the future development trend from the perspective of national strategy and the world.

  When the pattern is big, we will naturally see room for development. Liu Lianjie said that Langfang is now unified in thinking and understanding, taking attracting investment as the "driver" of development, and "grasping parks and projects" has become the key indicator to assess whether cadres are really doing it. The team of the Municipal Party Committee has set up the orientation of "cadres are made by doing things", selected a group of cadres who can charge, be full of energy and be good at breaking through, and sang the strong theme of "doing things with passion and challenging the impossible".

  The pattern is big and the development momentum is enough. "We hold the dispatching meeting every afternoon, and all cadres above the deputy department level have contracted projects to help enterprises solve problems encountered in the progress of the project at any time." Chen Xuehua, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of Guangyang Economic Development Zone, told reporters that leading cadres should be willing to be "waiters" in enterprise development, firmly establish the concept of all services for projects, and retain good projects by quality services.

  In order to make things more convenient for enterprises, Langfang has set up a city and county administrative examination and approval bureau, and the "one seal for examination and approval" has been fully promoted. "First submit the materials from the Internet, and after passing the review, mail the paper materials. After a few days, the documents will be mailed directly to you." This is the process for Han Haifang, the person in charge of Langfang Hengan Elevator Engineering Co., Ltd., to apply for the special equipment use registration certificate. Now, the start-up time of Langfang enterprises has been reduced to less than 7 hours, and the time limit for examination and approval of engineering construction projects has been reduced to less than 58 working days.

  Everything depends on human effort, and the road is at your feet. Today, Langfang is breaking through the dilemma of "one industry dominates" in residential real estate. In the first half of this year, the growth rate of major economic indicators in Langfang exceeded the expected target: the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 15.2% year-on-year, 8.2 percentage points higher than the target task; Investment in fixed assets increased by 12.1% year-on-year, 4.1 percentage points higher than the target task; The total retail sales of social consumer goods increased by 12.8% year-on-year, 4.3 percentage points higher than the target task; The actual utilization of foreign capital in the city was US$ 654 million, up 17.4% year-on-year, and the quality of foreign capital utilization was ahead in Hebei Province.

Yu Shentong asked Liao Ping-pong dreams may come to train a world champion.

  





    Without the return of Shen Tong, Lei Zhenhua said that he might still be a social youth who stayed in the billiards club; Now, Lei Zhenhua has filled the gap that Liaoning men’s table tennis has not participated in the world’s three major competitions for 15 years, and set foot on the journey of Zagreb World Table Tennis Championships in May this year; Today, there are six players in Liaoning men’s table tennis team; Nowadays, Liaoning men’s table tennis ranks among the top five before the table tennis Super League, and the brain drain has been greatly reduced.


    It is Yu Shentong, the current male table tennis coach in Liaoning, who has changed the life track of a group of Liaoning table tennis players. At the beginning, what was the reason for returning to Liaoning Province from Japan to coach? Yu Shentong’s eyes drifted to distant memories: "Do you know? Many people who drift overseas, once they get a comfortable life, will have a strong homesickness. If I don’t come back, I think I will regret it. "


    At the peak, I left


    Yu Shentong, a native of Shenyang, was a spiritual left-handed player when he was an athlete. He joined the national team in 1985. In 1987, at the age of 19, Yu Shentong defeated Lao Wa in his heyday with his varied serve in the European competition. In 1992, he took the last flight to Barcelona, but this Olympic trip became the biggest turning point in Shen Tong’s career. After that, he decided to leave.


    Yaoyao: Why did you suddenly choose to retire?


    Yu Shentong: It has something to do with the Barcelona Olympic Games. At that time, I mainly focused on doubles, and I had the strength to compete for gold. But when I entered the fourth quarter, Ma Wenge and I met the Korean group Jiang Xican/Chul-Seung Lee. Technically, we had the upper hand, but our opponents were better prepared than us, and finally we lost.


    Yaoyao: Is it a pity to retire like this?


    Yu Shentong: It’s really a kind of pain without tears. I can play for at least three or four years. But the Olympic Games hit me too hard. I suddenly want to change the environment and let my nervous nerves relax. "


    When I was at ease, I came back


    From 1994 to 2001, Yu Shentong got married and had children in Japan. But comfort did not sink him, but stimulated his homesickness. At that time, the parent team Liaoning, which almost fell to the bottom, made him fidgety in Japan, and the idea of returning to China was eager for generate. In 2002, Yu Shentong finally returned to Shenyang with his wife and belt. So a banner of "working hard, working hard, getting out of the trough and creating a brilliant future for Liaoning men’s table tennis" appeared in the training hall of the compound.


    Yaoyao: Tell me about your life in Japan.


    Yu Shentong: When I came to Japan, I met Zhao Duoduo who joined the provincial team with me. At that time, she had been in Japan for several years. After marriage, we worked side by side for our lives. With our ping-pong skills, we worked hard for a superior life and received generous treatment in all aspects.


    Yaoyao: Why didn’t you enjoy it?


    Yu Shentong: Once a person who has lived overseas for a long time is comfortable, he will miss his hometown. That kind of feeling is uncontrollable. I go home two or three times a year and visit the provincial team every time, but what I see and hear is that Liaoning men’s table tennis is in an unprecedented predicament. I am sad! Therefore, the idea of returning to China strongly stimulated me.


    In the trough, an iron fist rules the army.


    Back in Liaoping, after three years of running the army with an iron fist, a group of young boys regained their confidence in playing. They suddenly realized that they were not geniuses in online games and billiards clubs, but their talents were in small silver balls. Yu Shentong said that the dream finally came into reality.


    Yaoyao: What was the status of men’s table tennis in Liaoning?


    Yu Shentong: I didn’t get a point in the Ninth National Games. How chaotic do you think it is? Except for Xu Hui, Lei Zhenhua and Zhai Yiming, who have been selected for the national team, these talented children are basically hopeless according to the situation at that time. Lei Zhenhua’s hands are thicker than those of table tennis.


    Yaoyao: How to manage it?


    Yu Shentong: I have formulated very strict management terms, and those players who can’t play a good role are all assigned; When you enter an Internet cafe, you only need to catch it once and go home immediately. At that time, it was really under great pressure to rectify the team atmosphere.


    Yaoyao: How to make the players make achievements?


    Yu Shentong: There are more than a dozen people in Liaoning Men’s Table Tennis Team 1, and I left seven. I build up their confidence, and if they are willing to work hard, they will be successful. After a period of rectification, parents felt that hope was coming, so we both disciplined. You see, now these children have changed a lot, their bad habits are gone, their thoughts are positive, and they all have the desire to join the national team and the dream of becoming a world champion.


    Busy, ashamed of his wife and children


    Is that Shen Tong often follows a weak figure behind him. During the competition, she sat silently behind Shen Tong, smiling or frowning. She was Yu Shen Tong’s wife, Zhao Duoduo, a veteran of Liaoning women’s table tennis. At that time, Shen Tong brought back a female player who had changed her nationality and name and had unlimited scenery in Japan, and was willing to be his wife. Yu Xinran, a 9-year-old son, was also sent to a full-time primary school by him.


    Yaoyao: Has your wife done a lot for you?


    Yu Shentong: At that time, I suddenly decided to return to China. My wife won a very good treatment after playing in Japan for 15 years. Returning to China means everything is zero, and we all need the courage to start from scratch. Finally she came back with me. I don’t know what else to say except thank you.


    Yaoyao: What is your greatest wish at present?


    Yu Shentong: Strive to cultivate a world champion.

The war situation in China-Myanmar border is unstable. The "live broadcast" of the Kachin Independence Army in Chinese

special correspondent

  On the 9th, the flight from Kunming to Tengchong was delayed due to air traffic control due to the tight fighting between Burmese government forces and Kachin Independence Army.

The border situation is unstable.

  Yesterday, the war in northern Myanmar did not expand on a large scale, but it did not stop. The reporter and his party set off from Kunming yesterday, took a regional flight to Tengchong, and then transferred to Yingjiang County on the China-Myanmar border. This is where the Burmese artillery shells fell into the houses destroyed in China when the conflict was fierce.

  "The border war situation is unstable, and Tengchong Airport conducts air control." At noon yesterday, there was no definite departure time, and the staff of Kunming Sheung Shui International Airport comforted hundreds of stranded passengers.

  Kunming, the spring city, cooled down as scheduled yesterday, and the fog once again enveloped the airport. However, compared with the large-scale detention caused by the weather a few days ago, the situation yesterday was obviously different. Although the flight to Tengchong in the morning was normal, "the flight at 12 noon turned back halfway." The staff clearly told the passengers waiting to board the plane that the main reason why they could not take off was the Tengchong airport and the border war.

  travel

  Cross-border tourism has an impact on tourists and they are not worried about safety.

  Miss Dong is a tourist from Beijing. She and dozens of her colleagues took the noon flight to prepare for a trip to Tengchong. "All the tours organized by the company have come, and they were fixed six months ago." She told reporters that the company had chosen Tengchong as a tourist destination earlier and did not expect that there would be war on the border. "But there is nothing to worry about!" Although the plane was delayed, she was very reassured about the travel safety, but said that she would not want to travel to Myanmar, which only needs landing visa.

  “只要在中国这边,就安全得很。”她的同事程先生笑道。

  他们的旅游目的地腾冲,曾被誉为古代“西南丝绸之路”上的最后站口,自古以来便是边防重镇,中国远征军在此发起的反攻战役为抗战胜利写下光辉一笔,如今这里的国境线长达148公里。2009年初腾冲机场修建启用,为滇西的旅游资源开发和开放带来新的血源与动力。

  而从腾冲过来的旅行社仍不愿错过机会,向等待的乘客推广从腾冲到缅甸国境两天游。不过推广人强调要从瑞丽的口岸过境,“去年6月那邦口岸过去密支那游的路线就已经停了,口岸不允许过境。”

  那邦口岸与缅甸仅一河之隔,河那边就是克钦独立军控制的拉咱。

  缅甸阿妹跨境打工 惦记那边阿爸阿妈

  虽然盈江县被缅北战事炮弹殃及,但这里仍是西南边陲的一座繁华县城,能来这里打工,对许多从缅甸过河来谋生的人来说,已是“安全且赚钱”的事。

  出租车司机韩启善的父辈早年曾去缅甸做生意,如今年届40的他前几年也来往边境做木材生意。“那边深山老林里的木材多,便宜,直径都有一两米,运到南方城市价钱好。”

  不过这两年,他退出了木材生意。“边境不稳,怕有闪失。”他说。

  一晃眼,他指着擦身而过的一辆运木材的大货车,“现在都是缅甸人自己运过来。”

  在盈江县进城路的大道上,湖南人全帆开了家湘菜馆,“来店里吃饭的都是做生意的熟客。”餐馆背后的珠宝街上,那里才是他的大生意翡翠和玉件。

  缅甸玉石又称翡翠玉,主要盛产于缅北一带,因其光洁亮丽的质地被誉为最上品。“去年以来我就不过去了,主要是他们过来。”缅北战事吃紧,全帆说自己的留守主要是等缅甸人送毛料上门。

  如今他请了几个缅甸人帮忙做生意。在他的餐馆里,就雇了两位缅甸过来的年轻女孩做服务员。平常他称呼她们“阿妹”,工资每月1千元,包吃住,“语言不通,很简单的交流,她们很勤奋,只需要交代一下就办好。”

  其中一位叫阿欢的女孩,今年20岁。从缅甸密支那过来不过4个月,她告诉记者亲姐姐嫁给了本地人,“在这里很好,很安全。阿妈、阿爸都在那边,想他们。”她用仅会的几个汉语词怯怯地说道。

  "They call home every day." Quanfan told reporters that China’s mobile phone and China’s network are also used on the other side of the border.

  "Live" Battle of Kachin Independence Army in Chinese

  The military conflict between the Burmese government forces and the Kachin Independence Army in northern Myanmar has intensified. Although the war has not spread widely, the tension is still of concern to the international community.

  At present, Myanmar has realized the transformation from a military government to a democratically elected government and established a federal Republican system. According to the provisions of the new constitution, the Myanmar government has stepped up the reorganization of ethnic minority armed forces in recent years, which has led to renewed tension between the two sides.

  The Burmese government stepped up its encirclement and suppression of the Kachin Independence Army, which triggered the latter’s rebound in safeguarding national interests. At the beginning of the month, Myanmar President Thein Sein called on all the people to work together to build the country and ensure the peace and stability of the country. He said that only peace and stability can build a developed country.

  At the same time, on the Internet in China, two Kachin Independence Army personnel "live" the war in northern Myanmar in Chinese. Kachin people in Myanmar belong to the same ethnic group as Jingpo people in Yunnan, and they are closely related. Although they use Jingpo and their dialects, many people are very familiar with Chinese.

  In the front-line news on the 9th, one of them wrote, "The Kachin Independence Army launched a raid in the early hours of the morning, killing the Burmese artillery positions in Kanggai Highland in one fell swoop". Another real-name certified Kachin Independence Army official also said that "Kachin attacked the Burmese artillery battlefield successfully at night." He also commented on the influence of dense fog on military operations in the past two days.

  Our reporter tweeted to contact one of the independents. The source said that the recent fighting situation is grim and the border is strictly guarded, which makes it inconvenient to accept the visit. Previously, the Kachin Independence Army had been visited by China media.

  It is understood that China’s border defense has been stepped up at present.

  It is also reported that on the morning of the 9th, an earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale occurred in the Homerin area of Sagaing province in northwestern Myanmar. The epicenter of the earthquake is located 30 kilometers west of Tamanti, Homalin region, near the border between Myanmar and India, with a focal depth of 75.6 kilometers.

  background

  Myanmar’s ethnic problems are complex.

  Kachin independence army

  The total strength does not exceed 15,000.

  Due to the long-term war in the past and the possible war in the future, the "Kachin government" has never slackened its efforts in army building. According to the provisions of the Kachin government, men must be soldiers from the age of 13 and cannot be retired for life. Even if they are not in the army in the future, they can only be regarded as "vacations". If there is a war, they must come back immediately; If every family has five children, three must join the army, three or four children must join the army, and two children must join the army; If there are no men, recruit female soldiers.

  According to the statistics of the Kachin Independence Organization, the Kachin Independence Army claims to account for 7% of the total population of Kachin, and claims to be Christians. However, according to people familiar with the matter, in fact, the total strength of the Kachin Army does not exceed 15,000, which is divided into five brigades, and there are only more than 32,000 government workers. It is also said that there are only 8,000 people.

  Myanmar has about 135 ethnic groups, large and small. According to the statistics in 2009, there are about 59.13 million people in Myanmar, mainly Burmese (about 69%), Shan (about 8.5%), Karen (about 6.2%), Rakhine (about 5%), Mon (about 3%), Kachin (about 2.5%) and Chin.

  All ethnic minorities have their own languages, among which the Burmese, Kachin, Karen, Shan and Meng have written languages.

  Since independence in 1948, Myanmar has been plagued by ethnic contradictions and conflicts. Ethnic issues have run through the whole historical process since independence and become an extremely important factor affecting Myanmar’s political situation, economic development and even international relations. It can be said that Myanmar is one of the countries with the most complicated ethnic problems in the world.

  Some people believe that the development process of ethnic issues in Myanmar can be divided into three stages: the period of Wu Nu’s administration from 1948 to 1962 was the emergence stage; From 1962 to 1987, the reign of Newin was a stage of comprehensive intensification; Since Maung Saw’s military government came to power in 1988, it has been gradually easing.

  In response to the complex ethnic issues, Myanmar President Thein Sein called on all ethnic groups to strengthen unity and work together to build a new modern democratic country when he delivered a speech at the Federal Parliament in March 2011.

[An Chen Chat] Is there a chance of winning the stronger Ford Sharp L compared with Volkswagen Touran?

As an important model of Changan Ford, it is also a replacement model of Sharp.Sharp L has been fully upgraded in internal and external modeling, space and performance.

This time, [An Chen Chat] will talk about two popular cars on the market. The first one is Changan Ford Sharp L and Volkswagen Touran. Then let’s talk about Sharp L and Volkswagen Touran. Who has a better chance of winning? After the listing of Sharp L, it is divided into the fuel version and the hybrid version. Today, it is the hybrid version of the top-of-the-line model 2023 Sharp L 2.0T EcoBoost E- hybrid four-wheel drive seven-seat STLine, with a guide price of 305,900.

The front face of the new Touran is heavy, and the front air intake grille is composed of three horizontal and eight vertical lanes. Touran is positioned as a medium and large 7-seat SUV. The front grille of the new car is matched with two thick chrome-plated strips, and combined with the square and large-sized headlight group, the visual width is extended. Today’s photo is the 2023 modified 380TSI four-wheel drive respected deluxe edition guide price of 341,500.

Ford Sharp L is more sporty and fashionable in appearance design, with strong visual impact, while Volkswagen Touring is slightly moderate. It depends on personal preference and cannot be generalized. The front face adopts bold air intake grille and sharp headlight design, creating a dynamic and domineering image. The body lines are smooth and the overall shape is fashionable, showing the luxury and sporty style. Ford Sharp L has adopted a brand-new design language, the front blackened matrix air intake grille has been changed to a closed design, and the fashionable penetrating light strip has been added on the upper side, which is integrated with the front LED headlights embedded at both ends. The front enclosure is angular, and the W-shaped decorative board running through the diversion grooves at both ends is very eye-catching.

Volkswagen Tourang, on the other hand, pays more attention to the simple and steady appearance design, with smooth lines and coordinated body proportions, giving people a sense of stability without losing fashion.

In terms of headlights, the entry-level two-wheel drive comfort version has the functions of LED far and near light, LED daytime running light, automatic headlights and headlight delay turn-off. The two-wheel drive luxury version adds the steering auxiliary lighting function to this function, which can help reduce the blind spot of sight at night. It is still a very practical configuration.

Sharp L has a smooth inverted L-shaped chrome trim on the side of the car body and the upper side of the window to enhance the exquisiteness of the side face. The blackened design is added to the lower side of the window and the side skirt, which is very dynamic. The door handle is replaced by a hidden design, which is more concise and can reduce some wind resistance coefficients. The brand-new 21-inch color matching five-spoke sports hub is very cool. The new sharp world is 5000mm/1961mm/1773mm, and the wheelbase has been lengthened to 2950 mm. This size has reached the standard of medium and large SUVs. It is precisely because of this wheelbase length that the new sharp world has the ability to improve the riding experience of the third row for users.

On the other hand, Volkswagen Touran has solid side lines, and the square wheel arch and the deep waist on the door make its side look strong. The body size of the new Touran is 5052mm/1989mm/1773mm, and the wheelbase is the same as 2980 mm.

In the interior, Ford Sharp L pays attention to luxury and comfort, and adopts high-quality materials and exquisite craftsmanship to create a warm and luxurious driving environment. At the same time, Ford Sharp L is also equipped with rich technology configurations, such as a large-size 2.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 27-inch penetrating central control giant screen to form a touch screen, an intelligent interconnection system and an advanced driver assistance system, which enhances driving pleasure and convenience. The air outlet of the air conditioner at the lower side adopts a hidden design, and the outer side is decorated with metal decorative strips, which is very delicate. This car is also equipped with E- hybrid technology+real mechanical four-wheel drive system, which is also excellent in fuel economy. If you are very concerned about the driving experience of vehicles, Sharp L also provides you with a variety of driving modes to choose from, namely sports, economy, standard, comfort, snow and mud.

The whole interior design of Volkswagen Tourang has a strong family style. The simple and fashionable center console adopts a large area of soft material coverage and is designed with a silver chrome-plated decorative board. Volkswagen Tourang’s interior design pays more attention to simplicity and practicality, with comfortable and humanized layout, providing spacious seating space and sufficient storage space to meet the needs of family travel. The quality is ok, the design of embedded LCD screen and semi-LCD instrument panel exudes a strong sense of technology in the car, and the leather seats enhance the ride comfort. The trinity virtual display system consisting of 10.2-inch full LCD digital instrument and 12-inch multi-touch LCD central control panel integrates more functions, making vehicle information clear and readable, and adding a sense of science fiction to the cockpit.

The seat of Sharp L is also made of very advanced leather, and the seat wrapping is also very good, so you won’t feel any fatigue after a long-distance ride. If you take the seat with zero gravity once, you will like it, so if you want to buy a home SUV, I suggest you choose Sharp L.

The front seat of this car can also give us enough support, and its second seat also supports front and rear adjustment, so that the third row passengers can have a more comfortable sitting position.

The car is covered with a large area of soft material, and the texture is very outstanding.

In terms of space, the legroom of Sharp L is also very good, and its legroom is spacious enough, even if it is 180 cm tall, it is easy to adjust the seat to a suitable position.

The combination of the right-side tilting of the third row of seats and the right-side tilting of the second row of seats in Volkswagen Touran can obtain a "long and narrow" storage space, which will be more advantageous when placing some long-sized objects.

The second row of space is neck and neck with Sharp L, but the seat adopts 232 layout, and there are no aviation seats and pushers, which is enough to prove that Sharp L is better in terms of comfort and luxury.

In terms of power, the Ford Sharp L fuel version will be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 185kW, and the transmission is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission; Ford Sharp L Hybrid Edition will be equipped with a 2.0T engine+motor hybrid system. The maximum power of the engine is 202kW, the maximum torque is 405N·m, the acceleration time is only 7.1s, the comprehensive fuel consumption of WLTC is 6.31L/100km, and the transmission is matched with the E-CVT continuously variable gearbox. The performance of the engine and gearbox of Sharp L is excellent. While ensuring the power output, this car can also take into account the fuel economy. Hybrid version, a box of oil can run 1188 kilometers, which is impossible for all models at present. If you don’t believe it, you can challenge it!

If you are very concerned about the driving experience of vehicles, Sharp L also provides you with a variety of driving modes to choose from, namely sports, economy, standard, comfort, snow and mud. This is very important to the quality of suspension, so Sharp L is equipped with the suspension combination of front McPherson and rear multi-link, and the overall adjustment is in line with the needs of our family users. The comfortable suspension has a good steady performance, good vibration filtering effect and does not float at high speed. And most of the fine vibration can be isolated outside the car and a certain amount can be reserved for the driver.

Touran is equipped with a 2.0T 186 horsepower L4 engine with a displacement of 2.0L, a maximum power of 137kW and a maximum torque of 320N•m. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.

The front suspension type of Volkswagen Touran is McPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is multi-link independent suspension. The disadvantage is that the suspension of the car is a little hard, and it has a strong sense of vibration when passing through the speed bump.

Generally speaking, Ford Sharp L and Volkswagen Touran are the best in luxury medium and large SUVs, and Sharp L has excellent performance in power, control and interior. The Volkswagen Touran feels a little like a small horse-drawn cart. If you have a budget of 400,000 yuan, will you choose the V6 version of Touran? Which one to choose depends on personal preferences and needs. In terms of dynamic response, Ford Sharp L is more outstanding, and its fuel consumption performance is better than that of Volkswagen Touran. In terms of space, Sharp L is also among the best in the same level, and in terms of interior space, Sharp L is also in place, and both front and rear spaces can meet our daily needs. Through comparison in all aspects, it can be seen that the comprehensive strength of Ford Sharp L, which has been comprehensively innovated, has been improved obviously, and it has no small advantages over Touran in terms of texture, sense of science and technology, space and power. Therefore, the stronger Ford Sharp L wins the Volkswagen Touran! ! !

That’s all for this "An Chen Chat" and I look forward to the next episode! !

Remodeling the workplace values of Generation Z: From the "class taste" mentality to the pursuit of personal growth

In the fast-paced modern workplace, people in the Z generation are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities.

Recently, the social platform Soul APP and Shanghai Mental Health Center (commonly known as "No.600 Wanping South Road") released the Report on Workplace Mental Health of Generation Z in 2024 (hereinafter referred to as the Report), and found that today’s young people are redefining success and achievement with their unique values and behavior patterns.

Through a questionnaire survey of 3956 professionals of different generations, the report reveals the mental health problems that cannot be ignored in the workplace, deeply analyzes the psychological state of different generations in the contemporary workplace, and discusses the differences between different generations and their coping strategies.

Psychological situation of different generations in the workplace: diversified challenges and countermeasures

Generation Z refers to post-90s, post-90s and post-00s. They show different psychological states and coping strategies in the workplace. According to the Report on Workplace Mental Health of Generation Z in 2024, about 70% of the respondents had mental health problems due to workplace problems, especially women, post-00 generation and professionals in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Among them, the salary has not increased, the work return/sense of accomplishment is not as good as expected and the promotion difficulty has become the three main factors that trigger the "workplace crisis". This phenomenon reflects that in the process of pursuing career development, it is difficult for Z generation professionals to get rid of mental health problems.

The Report on Workplace Mental Health of Generation Z in 2024 shows some psychological states of young people.

Professionals of different ages have different views on the value of work. Older senior professionals value a sense of accomplishment and self-identity, while post-00 generation and newcomers in the workplace pay more attention to social interaction brought by work. In addition, different industries also present different workplace culture and mental health needs.

For example, the internet and financial industries have attracted much attention because of long working hours, while the service industry is more troubled by the complexity of interpersonal relationships. Affected by market competition, people in the automobile industry generally agree that this year, "I’m so tired, so tired, so tired and really tired".

The 2024 Z Generation Workplace Mental Health Report reveals the working hours in different industries.

In terms of career choice, generation Z presents a diversified trend. The report shows that entrepreneurship and self-employment have become the most desirable occupations, reflecting the important position of freedom and entrepreneurship in the contemporary workplace. The development of the Internet has also provided more diversified career choices for young people, such as bloggers, UP owners, digital vagrants and other new working methods, which have gradually emerged and become an "ideal working form" for people in the traditional industry.

At the same time, the expectations of Generation Z for the working environment are also changing. They tend to choose enterprises that can provide flexible working system, good working atmosphere and rich corporate culture. In the first-tier cities such as Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen, due to the fast pace of work and fierce competition, many young people began to reflect on the ineffective overtime work in the workplace and the gradually formed "class-like" mentality. They are eager to find real meaning and value in their work, not just to survive.

It is worth mentioning that Generation Z has shown a strong demand for personal growth in the workplace. They not only pursue material rewards, but also pay more attention to the realization of self-worth and personal growth. According to the report, many young people say that they hope to improve their self-ability, broaden their horizons and establish deep social relationships with like-minded colleagues through work. This emphasis on personal growth makes Generation Z pay more attention to the balance between personal development and teamwork in the workplace.

This generation of young people have their own spiritual healing methods.

According to the survey of the report, Generation Z is facing unprecedented challenges and pressures. In order to cope with the pressure and challenges in the workplace, they actively seek new solutions.

On the one hand, they enhance their competitiveness in the workplace by learning new skills and improving their self-ability. On the other hand, they also pay more attention to the balance between work and life, and release stress and adjust their mentality through travel, sports and social interaction.

The report shows that socializing, brushing short videos, sports and games have become the most common ways for young people to relieve their emotions. Because of its relaxed and pleasant way of resolving, it not only helps to relieve stress, but also enhances the communication, friendship and trust between groups.

According to the report, socializing, brushing short videos and exercising are the three most common ways to decompress.

The report found that female users in Soul tend to reorganize their mood by posting news and participating in group chat parties, while men like to relieve stress by talking to others and browsing the interaction in the square. After 00, they prefer to use text group chat, socializing with strangers, and participating in social games such as werewolf killing in Soul to solve the emotions brought by the workplace.

In addition, more than 70% of the respondents expect social platforms such as Soul to create a psychological care type of public welfare sector, which is particularly prominent among women and post-00 groups. Especially for young people who have joined the workplace, there is a higher demand for this kind of plate, and they hope to express their emotions through interaction with close friends.

Insight into users’ emotions and needs, recently Soul and No.600 Wanping South Road jointly launched an emotional care project, aiming at paying attention to young people’s emotional healing. During the project, the two parties jointly launched seven online chat parties for 7 consecutive days, and invited many psychologists at No.600 Wanping South Road to give lectures and share the methods of coping with workplace stress and emotional management.

Soul and No.600 Wanping South Road jointly launched seven group chat parties for emotional relief.

At the same time, Soul also found that more and more users express their emotions through poetry, so he launched the "Psychotherapy Poetry Healing Poetry Exhibition" offline with the poems created by platform users, and comforted the hearts of young people with the power of words.

"Psychotherapy Poetry Healing Poetry Exhibition"

Interestingly, the report also found that this generation of young people began to adopt emerging technologies to solve their workplace emotions, and they expected AI to become a good partner for their mental health. According to the report, professionals in the post-00 generation and in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have begun to use AIGC technology to talk with AI chat assistants, and regard it as a preliminary screening of virtual psychological counselors.

In the survey group, male users expect to get professional psychological counseling help through AI, while female users prefer to vent negative emotions and have a dialogue on psychological problems through AI. This shows that AI has great potential in providing mental health support.

Through the Report on Workplace Mental Health of Generation Z in 2024, we can see that this generation of young people is reshaping the face of the workplace with its unique perspective and way. They dare to pursue their dreams and face challenges, and are good at using scientific and technological means to improve themselves. Instead of blindly pursuing high salaries and job promotion, they pay more attention to the development of their personal interests and specialties. This change in values makes them pay more attention to cooperation and communication with colleagues in the workplace and jointly create valuable work results.

In this changing era, with the increasing influence of Generation Z in the workplace, it is very important to understand the needs, challenges and expectations of young people for building a healthier and more dynamic workplace environment.

The twentieth group of the the State Council Safety Production and Fire Control Work Inspection Team conducted an inspection tour in Qiong-

  Cctv news(Reporter Guo Shuang): At the beginning of November, the 2023 provincial-level government safety production and fire control inspection in the State Council was officially launched, and 20 inspection inspection teams successively stationed in 31 provincial-level governments and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps to conduct inspection inspections on the 2023 safety production and fire control work.

  On November 7th, the reporter went to Hainan Province to carry out inspection and inspection with the twentieth group of the inspection and inspection team on safety production and fire control in the State Council. The inspection and inspection team carried out its work by listening to reports, reading materials, talking individually, visiting and inquiring, accepting reports, conducting on-the-spot inspections, and extending inspection and inspection. It conducted a 10-day inspection on 60 enterprises in key industries such as industry and trade, gas, construction, dangerous chemicals, transportation, mines and forest farms in Haikou and Danzhou, and found that unqualified gas appliances were sold, and the storage of alcohol-based fuels was not standardized, and the limited space management of industry and trade enterprises was found.

  The problem of selling unqualified gas appliances and storing alcohol-based fuels irregularly is prominent.

  In August this year, the the State Council Safety Committee issued a notice on printing and distributing the "National Work Plan for Special Renovation of Urban Gas Safety", which clearly stated that it would take about three months to focus on tackling key problems, comprehensively investigate and rectify potential risks in the whole chain of urban gas, establish a rectification ledger, and effectively eliminate outstanding potential risks in gas safety in crowded places such as catering enterprises.

  When the reporter followed the gas experts in an unannounced visit to the sales place in gas appliance, Danzhou, he found that the gas hose being sold by Aiaijia kitchen and bathroom appliances was seriously inconsistent with the standard requirements. Not only is the execution standard of packaging and printing inconsistent with the execution standard shown on the hose, but it is also found that the hose is only made of transparent water pipes made of ordinary materials after being disassembled on site, and its appearance is the same as that of the tea set drainage pipe used in daily life in the family. "According to the requirements of the national mandatory standard" Specification for Gas Engineering Projects ",this kind of gas hose must be a special gas hose with a service life of more than 8 years to ensure the safety and stability of gas in daily use and avoid leakage and danger." Gas experts explained, "If such products with serious quality and safety problems flood into the market, people or businesses will buy and use them, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

  Alcohol-based fuel is a fuel prepared with methanol as the main component, which is toxic and usually exists in liquid form. Because it is economical, it is often used to replace fuel diesel, liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas as fuel. During random unannounced visits, the inspection team found that alcohol-based fuel and light white oil were used in some restaurants in Danzhou City, which did not meet the safety requirements and had great risks. For example, the "Chongqing Hotpot Restaurant at Meal Time" in Danzhou uses aluminum-plastic composite pipes or plastic pipes that do not meet the fire protection requirements, and the laying is messy; Nearly 800L alcohol-based fuel is randomly stored in the stainless steel barrel above the stairwell on the second floor, and a large number of combustible materials such as bamboo charcoal are piled up around the stainless steel barrel. In addition, the building is complex for commercial and residential personnel, which can be described as risky.

  In view of the above problems, gas experts put forward the rectification plan on the spot and emphasized the relevant safety precautions. At the same time, the inspection team was handed over to the local authorities at the first time, emphasizing the profound lessons learned from the serious accidents of urban gas in recent years and the rapid implementation of investigation, management and other related work.

  Limited space management in industry and trade enterprises is not in place.

  During the stationing of the inspection team, each inspection team set up reporting channels such as telephone number, e-mail, letters and visits, etc. to receive incoming calls and online reports, mainly accepting reports and reflections on major problems and hidden dangers related to safety production and fire safety.

  According to the tip-off clues accepted on November 8, xinyi glass (Hainan) Co., Ltd. located in Chengmai County has many production safety accidents every year, and there are problems of concealment and omission. The inspection team sent personnel to check and confirm on the spot that there were two minor injuries in the enterprise in 2022 and 2023, and the enterprise can investigate and handle them by itself according to relevant regulations, and there is no violation of laws and regulations. However, in the process of investigation and verification, the inspection team found that the limited space of underground wells with poisoning risks, such as sewage wells, was not identified, included in the safety management ledger and set up obvious safety warning signs, and the corresponding management was lacking. According to Article 13 of the Criteria for Judging Major Accident Hidden Dangers in Industry and Trade Enterprises, it was a major accident hidden danger.

  Haikou Weihao Hot Spring Hotel is located in a bustling commercial area, and the inspection team also found problems such as inadequate management of limited space in the hotel. The hotel failed to effectively manage the safety of underground wells such as sewage wells and rainwater wells, and did not take measures such as risk identification, establishing ledger, setting warning signs and establishing relevant management systems. Through reading the information, it is found that the job names in the responsibility system for hotel safety production are inconsistent with the actual situation in many places, such as the position of "workshop director" that does not exist in the hotel industry, and there are also problems such as the lack of emergency plan drill records. According to the relevant provisions of the Key Inspection Items of Major Accidents in the Field of Culture and Tourism, it is a major accident hidden danger.

  In this regard, the assessment inspection team immediately instructed the territorial supervision department to investigate and deal with it according to the relevant regulations, implement rectification as soon as possible, and further eliminate various hidden dangers. The so-called limited space refers to a space that is closed or partially closed, relatively isolated from the outside world, with narrow entrances and exits, workers can’t work in it for a long time, and natural ventilation is poor, which is easy to cause the accumulation of toxic, harmful, flammable and explosive substances or insufficient oxygen content. "Some limited spaces, especially underground limited spaces, are easily overlooked because they are relatively hidden. Therefore, enterprises need to pay attention to them and carry out daily key safety management in strict accordance with relevant regulations." The industry and trade experts of the inspection team warned.

  In addition, the inspection and inspection team found that the construction project of Haikou National Pharmaceutical Preparation Building, which was undertaken by Guangxi Construction Engineering Group Holding Co., Ltd., was a major accident hazard according to the relevant provisions of the Criteria for Judging the Potential Dangers of Major Accidents in the Production Safety of Housing Municipal Engineering. Enlightenment Kindergarten in Jinjiang Town, Chengmai County arranges children’s activity places on the fourth floor of the park, which does not conform to the General Code for Building Fire Prevention and has a major fire hazard.

  Safe production, nip in the bud! The inspection team has handed over the hidden dangers of relevant problems to the Hainan Provincial People’s Government at the first time, and asked for further verification. If it constitutes a major accident hidden danger, it is necessary to strictly implement the "double punishment in one case" for enterprises and their main responsible persons, and start the responsibility investigation mechanism according to relevant regulations, and report the accountability handling situation to the inspection team and the the State Council Security Committee Office.

"Academic Bubble": the unbearable lightness of academics

Prompt in this issueAfter the disclosure of a huge number of papers published by a dean of a university in three years, it aroused widespread concern in society: some people denounced it as "academic fraud" and others "complained for him". that


In fact, a similar situation has already appeared: the dean of the former law school of a university has published more than a dozen monographs in a very short period of time, while an associate dean of an economics college has made an amazing record of reporting "13 million words" of scientific research results in one year.

Some experts pointed out that the production of scientific research has its basic laws and must follow academic norms, which inevitably requires long-term academic accumulation. This phenomenon of articles and monographs flying all over the sky and academic achievements "dazzling" in a short period of time belongs to a typical "academic bubble", which is harmful to the prosperity and development of academic undertakings. What is the reason for the formation of "academic bubble"? What kind of harm does it have? What concrete measures should we take to curb this? Around these problems, the reporter interviewed relevant experts.

One-sided quantitative academic evaluation mechanism is hard to blame

In recent years, there has been a common phenomenon in the academic circles in China, that is, the number of academic achievements of some academic researchers has shown an "explosive" growth compared with their predecessors: there are hundreds of academic papers, dozens of academic works and millions of words of scientific research achievements. So that the late Professor Zhong Jingwen, the father of China folklore, heard that some scholars had published more than 100 papers at a meeting before his death, and said with such emotion: "Oh, my God! I have been scribbling articles since I was eleven or twelve years old. Up to now, you asked me how many articles can be counted as papers. I can’t count five, maybe three. "

"This phenomenon of’ producing’ hundreds of academic papers, dozens of academic works and millions of words of scientific research results is a typical academic bubble." Professor Guo Shiyou, director of the Institute of History of China University of Political Science and Law and doctoral supervisor, said, "Whether academic research and its scientific research achievements have academic value has its basic criteria, that is, whether you have surpassed the contributions of predecessors and created valuable new knowledge, new ideas, new theories and new paradigms. If you leave these criteria, no matter how many’ imperial masterpieces’ you have published and how many’ rewarding achievements’ you have won, it is worthless from an academic point of view and is creating an academic bubble. "

Then, what is the reason for the phenomenon that articles and monographs are flying all over the sky and academic achievements are "dazzling" in a short period of time?

Zheng Guangyong, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Philosophy of the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, believes that academic bubbles are common, which are nothing more than personal and social reasons. Personally, people often use the phrase "shouldering morality with iron shoulders and writing articles skillfully" to evaluate those intellectuals who have both talent, academic conscience and social responsibility. Nowadays, people who create academic bubbles have neither the academic conscience and social responsibility of "shouldering morality" nor the academic research ability of "writing articles skillfully", so they have to create academic bubbles in order to be promoted. The main reason is the society, which provides the conditions for creating bubbles. First, the market mechanism has reached the point where it is pervasive. We emphasize that Industry-University-Research is a one-stop train, so that academic research results can be transformed into productive forces as soon as possible, which is of course true. However, it is obviously impossible to adopt this model for some basic research, especially the research of philosophy and social sciences. Second, the evaluation mechanism of academic research results is not perfect. Many people think that quantitative indicators are easy to grasp, but the level of academic research achievements, especially those in philosophy and social sciences, is difficult to consider, so it has become a common practice to substitute quantity for quality.

"It is indeed time to reflect on this phenomenon." Professor Yang Yusheng, director of the Center for American Politics and Law Studies at China University of Political Science and Law, said in an interview, "At present, the quantitative evaluation mechanism of one-sided pursuit of quantity is hard to blame for creating academic bubbles. From universities to education administrative departments to various university rankings, blindly pursue quantity, especially the number of articles published in so-called SCI, SSCI and CSSCI source journals, regardless of academic quality; In addition, we should also pay enough attention to the consequences of "the whole people engage in academics." All colleges and universities, whether they have the basic scientific research conditions or not, blindly require teachers to publish so-called scientific research results, and further strengthen the oppressive mechanism of pursuing the publication of works with the leverage of academic title evaluation, awards, projects and talent selection, thus concocting many low-level repetitive academic bubbles. "

The academic bubble is anti-academic in nature.

A simple fact that can’t be ignored is that although there is a certain internal relationship between academic bubble and academic plagiarism, there are also obvious differences. The latter belongs to a typical academic anomie. As long as we grasp conclusive evidence, we can "be what it is, not what it is" and carry out targeted academic criticism and punishment. Although the academic bubble is a combination of some "platitudes and patchwork" articles, it is difficult to grasp its handle from the perspective of academic norms, and it is even more difficult to regulate and punish it.

"Although the academic bubble is difficult to find a basis for punishment, its harm to the prosperity and development of academic undertakings should attract enough attention from the whole society." Professor Guo Shiyou believes that "academic plagiarism and academic corruption are harmful, but they are not terrible, because we have corresponding academic criticism and academic norms to correct them. But the chronic disease that really endangers academic career and is difficult to eradicate is academic bubble. The reason for this is that the academic bubble is to create academic false prosperity by producing academic’ garbage’, to stifle academic vitality with academic banner, and to trample academic norms under the guise of academic norms. It not only seriously consumes scarce academic resources and makes academic achievements mixed, but also easily leads to’ bad money drives good money’ and a vicious circle. In the end, it will corrupt the academic atmosphere, destroy academic dignity and undermine academic reputation. "

"The academic bubble and the academic garbage it overflows are not conducive to the prosperity and development of academic undertakings, but also to the civilization and progress of society. It is anti-academic in nature, and we should really be vigilant about its harm." In an interview with reporters, Professor Yang Yusheng said, "Specifically, its harm is mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, it causes low-level redundant construction, which wastes a lot of human, material and academic resources in the country for no reason; The second is to form vicious competition in academic circles, destroy academic ecological environment and ruin academic social image; Third, it has a negative impact on the growth of the younger generation of students; The fourth is not conducive to establishing China’s international academic image and academic status. "

"The academic bubble fundamentally violates the guiding ideology of the party and the government to prosper academic undertakings, which is harmful not only to academic research itself, but also to the whole society." Dr. Zheng Guangyong believes, "First of all, the impetuous academic atmosphere formed by the academic bubble is easy to mislead the academic research path of young intellectuals. Academic research should have long-term academic accumulation, otherwise it will be difficult to continue for a long time. If young intellectuals are impetuous just after they set foot on the road of academic research, it is difficult to achieve real academic results. Secondly, the academic bubble harms the society and the country. In the tradition of China, people often regard intellectuals with a strong sense of social responsibility as the embodiment of moral education. If the academic bubble permeates the society, it will not only affect the image of intellectuals, but also affect the social atmosphere. The academic bubble will certainly not cultivate competitive talents, and the promotion of national strength cannot be achieved by a group of’ paper tigers’ with only quantity but no quality. If we don’t pay attention to managing the academic bubble, it is irresponsible for the cause of modernization. "

It is urgent to reform the old and rigid quantitative evaluation system.

Professor Jiang Shusheng, member of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress and president of Nanjing University, once said in the media that some professors and doctoral supervisors who have "works of equal stature" can publish several sets of books a year, and they often publish "series books", but people in the industry scoff at them because some of these "works" are blatantly stolen, and some are used to make a splash and cheat the world. The professor’s doctoral supervisor degenerated into a literary copy. This kind of low-level repeated publication has only the proliferation of quantity without the improvement of quality, and only the prosperity of appearance without original achievements. It is a typical academic bubble. He went on to say that the research mentality of quick success and instant benefit will inevitably lead to a large number of books, papers and achievements, and the prevalence of defective products and counterfeiting in academic circles will inevitably lead to academic faults and even academic crises. The deterioration of this style of study will inevitably affect students. The proliferation of this problem is also related to our long-term emphasis on quantity over quality and lax examination and assessment. It is also urgent to reform the outdated and rigid quantitative assessment system.

In this regard, Professor Yang Yusheng also agrees that to effectively curb the emergence and spread of academic bubbles, the whole society needs extensive participation. First of all, all scholars should be aware of the sanctity of learning and the dignity of learning, starting from academic self-discipline, starting from caring for their academic image, and starting from safeguarding the dignity of academic communities; Secondly, it is necessary to change the current reward mode of material stimulation for publishing articles; Thirdly, universities, especially the administrative departments of education, have effectively changed the orientation of quantitative policies and put the awareness and strategy of quality products into practice; Finally, famous universities, especially those invested and built by the National 985 Project, and key research bases of humanities and social sciences of the Ministry of Education, should play an exemplary role and strive to produce excellent products and masterpieces.

"To truly curb the academic bubble from the source and eliminate its harm, we must comprehensively manage the current academic environment." Professor Guo Shiyou said in an interview with reporters, "First of all, we should strengthen the professional ethics education of academic practitioners and set up an academic ethics Committee; Secondly, we should reasonably limit the enrollment scale of graduate students, especially doctoral students, and do not force graduate students to publish their dissertations before completing their dissertations. We should make clear a basic understanding: the main or even the only basis for awarding degrees is the dissertations themselves; Thirdly, we should reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of engineering management model for academic management, put an end to digital competitions such as the number of papers, monographs and words of achievements, strengthen quality awareness, take the representative works of authors as the main basis to confirm the academic level of authors, reduce the number of appraisal activities and prolong the time for academic achievements to be tested by academic and social practice. Finally, we should strengthen academic criticism and public opinion supervision, intensify the punishment of plagiarism, and safeguard academic dignity. It is suggested that the Ministry of Education or people with lofty ideals should take the lead and refer to the successful experience of Tur-nitin website, which is specialized in cracking down on plagiarism in the University of California (Berkeley), to create and gradually improve a Chinese website with detection and monitoring functions, make full use of the technological advantages of the Internet, strengthen the technical detection of graduate students’ homework, academic papers, dissertations and even academic achievements, effectively advocate academic norms and put an end to plagiarism.

There are many challenges in the prevention and control of dengue fever in Latin America. Scan the code and read the mobile version.

From the beginning of this year to the beginning of April, the number of dengue fever cases in America, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean, surged. More than 4.25 million people were confirmed to be infected with dengue virus, and more than 1,400 people died, three times that of the same period last year. Local medical and health professionals told CCTV reporters that the dengue fever epidemic in Latin America continued to spread due to multiple reasons. Although the response measures of Latin American governments and health organizations have achieved certain results, the epidemic prevention and control still faces many challenges.

Dengue fever cases surge in Latin America

Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by dengue virus, which is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes and is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. Typical symptoms include persistent fever, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, etc., and can be fatal in severe cases.

The latest epidemiological alert issued by the Pan American Health Organization on April 9 this year shows that in the first 12 weeks of 2024, more than 4.25 million cases of dengue fever were reported in the Americas, with 1,423 deaths, three times that of the same period in 2023. Among them, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay have the most serious epidemics, accounting for the vast majority of dengue infection cases and deaths in this area.

According to the data released by the Brazilian Ministry of Health on April 8, the number of dengue fever cases recorded in this country has reached 2,747,643 (including suspected cases) and 1,078 deaths. As of early April, the number of deaths from dengue fever in Brazil this year has reached the third highest since the epidemic was recorded in 2000.

According to the report released by the Ministry of Health of Argentina on April 7, 215,885 cases of dengue fever have been diagnosed in Argentina since 2024, and the prominent feature of this dengue epidemic is "continuous occurrence". In 19 of Argentina’s 24 provinces, dengue virus has spread locally. In addition, dengue fever deaths have occurred in all ages, with the highest mortality rate among people over 80 years old.

According to data released by the Ministry of Health of Paraguay on April 5, there were 4,848 new cases of dengue fever in the country in the past three weeks, and the most seriously affected people were children aged 5 to 9. At present, 83% of the country’s territory has been affected by dengue fever.

Other countries in Latin America are also more or less affected by the dengue epidemic. At present, dengue fever is still at the peak of transmission, and the epidemic continues to spread in this area.

△ Main vector of dengue fever: Aedes aegypti

Multiple factors lead to the rapid spread of dengue fever in Latin America.

According to the analysis of local disease control experts, natural factors are an important reason for the rapid spread of dengue fever in Latin America, especially the climate change brought about by global warming has promoted the increase of dengue cases. Jarbas barbosa, head of Pan-American Health Organization, said in an interview with the general station reporter that the continued spread of dengue fever was mainly due to El Niñ o phenomenon and climate change, especially the high temperature and intermittent rainfall brought by El Niñ o phenomenon led to the accelerated reproduction of Aedes aegypti, which further accelerated the spread of the epidemic.

Relevant research shows that the number of dengue cases tends to increase in the year of El Niñ o phenomenon. In the past 15 years, there have been five El Niñ o phenomena in Brazil in summer, and the number of people infected with dengue fever has exceeded 1 million each time. Kleber Luz, an expert on dengue infectious diseases at the Pan American Health Organization, said that the El Niñ o phenomenon caused the sea water temperature to rise, which led to an increase in the number of Aedes aegypti, an increase in reproductive capacity and an increase in life expectancy. With the climate change, the increase in the number of Aedes aegypti will not only increase the number of dengue cases, but also expand the area affected by dengue fever.

Climate change has also aggravated the spread of dengue fever. Paul Lotufo, an expert on dengue fever prevention and control, told the CCTV reporter that climate change is a major reason for the spread of dengue fever. Around 1986, Aedes aegypti mainly existed in Rio de Janeiro in the southeast of Brazil, and since the 1980s, Aedes aegypti has moved southward year by year, resulting in cases in places where dengue fever did not occur before.

Antonio Bandala, an infectious disease expert in Brazil, said that a climate corridor starting from central and western Brazil and running through the southeast and southwest of the country had an impact on the dengue epidemic in Latin America. The climate corridor is characterized by high temperature, frequent fluctuations and heavy rainfall, which creates conditions for the massive reproduction of Aedes aegypti and increases the number of dengue cases in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina.

Social factors are another reason for the rapid spread of dengue fever in Latin America. The rapid population growth and mobility, the lack of urban infrastructure-related services and the lack of control measures have led to a large number of Aedes aegypti breeding. In 2010, Brazil had 191 million residents. In 2022, the number of residents in the country reached 203 million. Verdo Naviganster, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Brasilia, pointed out that it is difficult for Aedes aegypti to fly long distances. Areas with high urbanization and dense population are conducive to mosquito predation, and the increase in population also leads to an increase in the number of susceptible people.

Experts also said that the accelerated population movement is also one of the reasons for the continuous outbreak of dengue fever in Latin America. In addition, inadequate urban infrastructure services, including sewage discharge, urban cleaning and garbage disposal, have also led to the spread of dengue fever. The data shows that the total number of households in Brazil is 74 million, of which nearly 9 million cannot use the conventional water supply network; Nearly 7 million people face the problem of insufficient water supply. According to data collected by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics from 2013 to 2022, 22 million people in Brazil lack sewage collection facilities in their daily lives. Unstable infrastructure increases the probability of sewage accumulation, and mosquitoes can breed in large numbers.

Latin American governments have different attitudes towards the use of vaccines.

In the face of the epidemic, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and other Latin American countries have taken a number of prevention and control measures in vector control, vaccination, publicity and prevention. The analysis pointed out that because the current vaccine research and development is in the initial stage, different Latin American countries hold different attitudes towards the use of vaccines, but the countermeasures taken to eliminate mosquito breeding environment are the same.

The Brazilian government plans to vaccinate the public with 6.5 million doses of dengue vaccine this year, giving priority to adolescents aged 10 to 14 who have the highest proportion of hospitalized cases. In February this year, more than 500 cities in Brazil launched a large-scale dengue vaccination, and the government provided free vaccination for 3.2 million people. On March 29th, the Brazilian Ministry of Health announced that residents of 165 cities would be vaccinated against dengue fever based on the spread rate of dengue fever, and on March 31st, the economic center of Sã o Paulo State was included in the list of dengue vaccination areas. The vaccine is divided into two doses, and the interval between the two vaccinations is three months. The vaccine is delivered by the Brazilian Ministry of Health to the state government, and the local municipal department is responsible for drawing up the vaccination time.

△ Rio de Janeiro, Brazil vaccinates children against dengue fever

Brazil’s Ministry of Health standardized and strengthened the monitoring and reporting system of dengue fever, so as to ensure the timely grasp of the epidemic situation and adjust the public health response measures accordingly. At the same time, the Ministry of Health coordinates the establishment of dengue emergency operation centers in various places to coordinate epidemic prevention actions and monitor and analyze the epidemic situation. Rio de Janeiro and other states declared a state of public health emergency and opened specialized treatment centers for dengue fever in order to relieve the pressure on hospitals. The Brazilian government has also vigorously promoted anti-mosquito measures, publicized the people through various channels such as the media, raised public awareness of the epidemic disease, guided the people to prevent dengue fever in their daily lives, tried to eliminate the stagnant water environment suitable for Aedes mosquitoes to breed, and sought medical attention in time when symptoms appeared.

Argentine authorities launched "fumigation operations" in different regions to fight mosquitoes. Since November 2023, the Argentine government has provided dengue vaccine to the public, but at present, the vaccine is still a prescription drug, and the cost is about 70,000 Argentine pesos (about 590.58 yuan), while providing a 40% discount for some susceptible people. From January to February, 2024, the provinces of Misiones in the northeast and Salta in the northwest of Argentina successively launched free dengue vaccination programs for the 20-40 age group. In March, the Ministry of Health of Argentina issued a proposal for prevention and control of dengue fever, urging people to strengthen protection, guiding people to eliminate mosquito breeding sites, using regular insect repellents, identifying dengue fever symptoms and seeking medical treatment in time. On March 26th, the first meeting of the Argentine Federal Health Committee on the prevention and control of dengue fever was held in Buenos Aires, the capital, to discuss the measures of joint action of epidemic prevention and control and the vaccination plan.

In addition, in response to the epidemic, the Ministry of Health of Paraguay has taken public health measures, provided vaccination services and carried out fumigation operations in many places. At the same time, guide the public to eliminate stagnant water, prevent mosquito breeding, and publicize and emphasize avoiding mosquito bites for susceptible people, especially children, and seek medical advice in time when relevant symptoms appear. Due to the dengue fever epidemic, the Peruvian government declared a 90-day health emergency in 20 regions of the country on February 27th. In this state, the government can provide more financial budget to support epidemic prevention and control measures. On April 5, the Ministry of Health of Peru announced that fumigation activities would be carried out in eight regions of the country from now on, aiming at eliminating adult Aedes aegypti and its larvae to curb the spread of dengue fever.

Unlike Brazil’s large-scale free vaccination against dengue fever and active vaccine development, Argentina is more cautious about vaccination. Panama’s Ministry of Health recently said that considering the actual effect of the vaccine in the prevention and control of dengue fever, the country does not plan to launch a large-scale vaccination. Barbosa, the head of the Pan American Health Organization, told the general station reporter that the current use of vaccines has no obvious effect on cutting off the transmission chain. On the one hand, the current vaccines need to be vaccinated with two injections, with an interval of three months, which is of little significance for quickly cutting off the transmission chain. On the other hand, the current supply of vaccines is limited and can only partially meet the vaccination needs of specific people.

△ Fumigation activities in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil

Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) calls on all countries and regions in the region to support the prevention of dengue fever and intensify efforts to reduce mosquito breeding sites, which is the main measure to prevent the spread of dengue fever at present. Because vaccine research and development is still in the early stage, barbosa emphasized the importance of health system construction, vector control and international cooperation in an exclusive interview with the reporter from the General Station, and called on all countries to strengthen the training of medical staff and strengthen the construction of primary health institutions, so as to diagnose and treat as soon as possible and prevent deaths. Barbosa said that the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is providing technical support to member countries to help them strengthen the surveillance system, monitor the epidemic development in each region and determine the serotype of dengue virus that is spreading. In addition, the organization has provided training for more than 300,000 medical staff on the clinical treatment of severe cases of dengue fever.

Dengue fever prevention and control faces multiple challenges

Although the current prevention and control measures have achieved certain results, the dengue fever epidemic in Latin America continues to spread.

Barbosa said that artificial water storage is the biggest challenge for dengue prevention and control. In slums all over Latin American cities, all water storage containers of residents may become mosquito breeding grounds. Countries in southern Latin America may reach the peak of dengue fever transmission in April, while countries in northern Latin America need to prepare for the possible dengue fever epidemic season.

Lotufo said that compared with Paraguay and Argentina, Brazil is more effective in curbing the spread of Aedes mosquitoes, but the control ability of local governments still needs to be improved. Mosquito control is the most important measure to prevent and control dengue fever, and vaccination has limited effect in reducing the severity and mortality of cases.

In the face of dengue fever, the prevention and control measures in Latin America are still insufficient. On the one hand, some experts said that people’s awareness of epidemic prevention is still relatively weak. The chairman of Brazil’s National Health Sector Joint Committee said that until a month or two ago, people still paid insufficient attention to the dengue fever epidemic. On the other hand, some people think that the government’s prevention and control measures have limited effect. Ricardo Guttler, an Argentine health expert, said that since the outbreak of dengue fever in Argentina, the national and local governments have gradually withdrawn from the prevention and control of dengue fever. The Argentine Ministry of Health issued a statement on April 2, saying that the government has not yet had enough evidence to prove the effectiveness of dengue vaccine, and it is impossible to include it in the national vaccination plan and carry out free vaccination for the people.

Experts said that there is no specific antiviral drug for dengue fever at present, and only symptomatic treatment measures can be taken. The principle of treatment is early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment, early mosquito prevention and isolation, and early diagnosis and timely treatment of severe cases are the key to reduce mortality.
