CCTV News:Recently, in more than 20 provinces and cities such as Beijing, Hebei, Jiangsu and Shanghai, many consumers reported that after receiving the so-called "online shopping payment" call, they followed the prompts step by step, but eventually the money in the card was missing. What the hell is going on here?

On the afternoon of May 25th, Ms. Li, who lives in Jinan, Shandong Province, received a phone call from a man who claimed to be "express customer service". The other party said that a bottle of lotion that Ms. Li bought on Taobao was damaged in transit, and the company would pay double compensation. On the phone, the man also verified the consignee information, logistics order number and other information with her in detail. Because there was no mistake in the content, Ms. Li quickly believed his words.

Ms. Li, the victim of Jinan, Shandong Province: At that time, I also called Yuantong customer service, but perhaps because it was Saturday and Sunday, there was no option for manual customer service. Check the real-time logistics, it is indeed in Linyi. On the phone, I heard that the other party was at the scene of the accident, and many people were talking about settling claims, and then I believed it.

Ms. Li said that during the refund process, the other party told her that due to her low credit score of Alipay Sesame, the claims could not be directly returned to the account, so Ms. Li needed to cooperate with them to improve the credit score by "running water".

Therefore, under the guidance of the other party, Ms. Li, who was unsuspecting, successively borrowed more than 100,000 yuan from online lending platforms such as Alipay Borrowing and Micro-loan. Later, she downloaded Dangdang App according to the other party’s prompt and used the Dangdang account and password provided by the other party to purchase Dangdang gift cards with a total amount of 100,000 yuan.

Ms. Li, the victim of Jinan, Shandong Province: I didn’t know that these were loan platforms at the time. I also asked them how they were related to Dangdang. He probably means that there is cooperation, and these are all their backstage operations.

But soon, Ms. Li found that these Dangdang gift cards worth 100,000 yuan were quickly consumed. At this point, Ms. Li discovered that the situation was wrong and immediately reported the police.

Ms. Li’s experience is not unique. On June 18th, Ms. Yu from Heilongjiang received a phone call claiming to be Taobao’s customer service. The other party said that the clothes bought by Ms. Yu needed to be recalled because of unqualified printing and dyeing, and 160 yuan should be compensated to consumers. After that, the process is the same. After verifying the information, you gain trust, and then you are induced to buy a Dangdang gift card after the woman borrows money. In the end, Ms. Yu was cheated of 17,000 yuan.

Ms. Yu, the victim of HeilongjiangAfter I calmed down, I went to Dangdang to check the gift card and found that the balance of my gift card was zero. When I clicked on the Dangdang gift card link, I found that many comments below were cheated.

The reporter saw in a WeChat group with nearly 300 victims that from May to August this year, victims with the same experience entered the group, involving more than 20 provinces and cities such as Hebei, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Shandong, and the amount of losses has exceeded 6 million.

In these cases, there are two key problems, one is that the user’s information has been leaked, and the other is that these frauds are finally concentrated on Dangdang’s gift cards. What the hell is going on here? The reporter then contacted Dangdang.

In the interview, Ms. Li told the reporter that after the incident, she immediately inquired about the capital flow and delivery address of the gift card from Dangdang.

Ms. Li, the victim of Jinan, Shandong Province: I contacted Dangdang. His feedback was that it took me a few minutes to buy the gift card, but he didn’t tell me where the consumer went, so he said he didn’t know.

Many victims told reporters that after the alarm, they immediately contacted Dangdang customer service, hoping that the other party could freeze the relevant accounts.

Mr. Wang, the victim of Jinan, Shandong ProvinceAt that time, the customer service said that these gift cards were mainly bulk transactions, mainly used by the company to buy. We spent 100,000 yuan on this thing, and he didn’t ask us which unit we belonged to, so he didn’t verify it. I asked what this money was going to do. What did you buy? He said he didn’t know either.

The victim’s messages and comments on the gift card purchase page did not seem to attract the attention of Dangdang customer service. Regarding the problems reflected by consumers, the relevant person in charge of Dangdang said in an interview that such incidents occurred at low frequency, and corresponding prevention and control measures have been taken for such incidents.

Kan Min, Vice President of Dangdang.com.The incidence of these examples you mentioned is very low, and we actually don’t monitor a lot.

journalist: How many have been detected?

Kan Min, Vice President of Dangdang.com.: Because there is still police intervention, including customer information, it is not convenient for us to say specific figures. If it is a customer complaint, Dangdang will immediately freeze the suspected gift card. When Dangdang’s risk control team scans the order and finds that there is a large amount of gift cards to buy goods that are easy to sell, it will also terminate the transaction first and then deliver the goods to customers when it is confirmed that it is not fraudulent.

journalist: Isn’t there a situation that consumers reported that there was no first freeze?

Kan Min, Vice President of Dangdang.com.: Yes, at present.

The reporter learned that most of the victims have reported the case and the case is still under investigation. So what measures should enterprises and consumers take to deal with the current situation of frequent online fraud?

Experts said that the modern online payment platform has developed rapidly and there are various fast payment tools, but it has also become a "fast track" for fraudsters to defraud property. In this case, the online shopping platform also has the obligation and responsibility to ensure the safety of consumers’ information and funds. According to the E-commerce Law, Cyber Security Law and other relevant laws, after such cyber security incidents, online shopping platforms should take corresponding remedial measures at the first time and report to the relevant competent authorities as required.

Lawyer Wang Weiwei of Beijing Jingshi Law FirmIf there are some network security incidents on the platform, we must first have an emergency plan, and at the same time have the obligation to inform consumers.

In addition, experts also remind consumers that when they receive the so-called "refund" and "money-returning" online shopping customer service and business phone calls, they should not easily disclose personal information, and they should not transfer money casually. They must make a decision after calling the announced official customer service phone number to avoid being deceived.

Wang Xiaowei, Associate Professor of Chinese People’s Public Security University.It is common sense that if you want a refund on the online shopping platform, you must do it on the platform. However, the liar will ask the victim to go to other channels outside the platform for a refund. When encountering all kinds of abnormal situations, it is possible to avoid being cheated and quickly see through this deception by asking more why and combining common sense.

On August 10th, it was reported that Google publicly criticized Apple on the official website of Android on Tuesday, saying that it failed to improve the user experience of communication between iPhone and Android users. For a long time, some users have complained about green message bubbles in cross-device messages, such as poor compressed video quality, lack of read receipts, and other headaches. Google blames Apple for this, because the latter will convert the information sent between iPhone and Android users into SMS and MMS, both of which were developed decades ago and mainly designed for the plain text era.

Google believes that Apple should use Rich Communication Service (RSC) to realize this function. They believe that this is a "modern industry standard", which can improve users’ experience of sending text messages and making phone calls, and also support emoticons, videos and pictures. Android official website said, "These problems exist because Apple refuses to adopt modern communication standards when sending messages between iPhone and Android phones. Google also encourages visitors to share this topic on social media, including using "@ Apple" to remind Apple, and adding the topic tag of "#getthemessage". (Source: Sina Technology)

On the evening of August 10th, Beijing time, it was reported that Huang Renxun, CEO of NVIDIA, recently assured more than 22,000 employees of the company that NVIDIA would not lay off employees at least in the short term. Although the company issued a preliminary performance warning earlier, it said that its revenue in the second quarter would be lower than previously expected.

NVIDIA issued an early warning on Monday, saying that due to the sluggish game business, revenue in the second quarter is expected to be $6.7 billion, down 19% from the previous month and up 3% year-on-year. The revenue was lower than the $8.1 billion expected by NVIDIA and Wall Street analysts.

In response, Huang Renxun said in an email to employees that the performance in the second quarter was "significantly lower than expected", which was mainly due to the slowdown in the game business. But at the same time, he assured employees that the fundamentals of NVIDIA are still strong and the demand is still strong.

He said, "What does this mean for us? Will we lay off employees? No. On the contrary, we gave you a raise to take care of your families, because all of you are facing severe inflation. (Source: cnBeta)

　　The five-year-old baby who has not wet the bed for a long time suddenly "draws a map" frequently at night. Is it because of drinking too much water or kidney problems? The answer is beyond Bao Ma’s expectation — — All this is actually snoring.

　　Case playback

　　Came to the otorhinolaryngology department because of bedwetting

　　Cong Cong is a lively and lovely five-year-old boy, but in recent months, Cong Cong, who has long stopped wetting the bed, suddenly began to wet the bed again. At first, my mother didn’t care, just told Cong Cong to go to the toilet before going to sleep, but bed wetting still appeared from time to time, and Cong Cong often couldn’t wake up in the morning. My mother began to worry, and she took Cong Cong to the hospital in a hurry.

　　After arriving at the hospital, they went to urology and nephrology, and found no problems. Finally, under the recommendation of these two doctors, they came to otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery.

　　When I came here, the first question the doctor asked turned out to be: "Does the child snore when sleeping?" Congcong’s mother replied, "Yes, there is snoring, but is it related to bed wetting?" The doctor explained in no hurry that snoring does have something to do with bed wetting. These two symptoms seem unrelated, but in fact, many children’s bed wetting at night is caused by snoring.

　　How does snoring trigger bed wetting?

　　Under normal circumstances, we don’t snore when we sleep. However, if the upper airway of the nasal cavity or throat is locally narrowed for various reasons, when breathing, the airflow passes through the narrow place, and the muscles are vibrated to make a snoring sound.

　　Medically, this disease is called "obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome". The main manifestations of this kind of diseases are sleep snoring, mouth breathing and breath holding. What is more frightening than snoring is that children can’t breathe enough air when they sleep because of local stenosis such as nasal cavity or throat, which leads to insufficient oxygen supply. Over time, chronic hypoxia will affect children’s development in all aspects.

　　So, how does snoring cause bed wetting? Bedwetting is medically called nocturnal enuresis, which means that children over 5 years old involuntarily urinate at night. At present, its etiology is not clear, but many research reports show that it is related to obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. Mainly, this disease can cause children to suffer from chronic hypoxia, resulting in oxidative stress reaction, leading to bladder instability and enuresis. At the same time, obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome can cause sympathetic nerve excitation, lead to a large number of catecholamine compounds accumulation, and eventually lead to nocturnal enuresis.

　　Due to the long-term lack of oxygen supply, children’s behavior and growth and development will be affected to some extent. In addition, due to long-term oral breathing, the impact of airflow on the hard palate will deform and arch the hard palate, and the development of the oral cavity and maxillofacial region will also change over time. Gradually, children will have short and thick upper lip, high arch of hard palate, irregular teeth arrangement, prominent upper incisors, difficult facial muscles to move, lack of expression, etc. This is the "adenoid face" that is widely concerned by parents at present.

　　Remember to see a doctor when your child has these symptoms.

　　Remind parents and friends that children snore, don’t underestimate them, and don’t think that children are just "tired of playing" or sleeping soundly.

　　Some children show short-term apnea, and parents can find that although the child is still breathing in the chest and abdomen while sleeping, there is no airflow through the mouth and nose. There are also some children who have no apnea, but their breathing during long-term sleep is in a state of insufficient ventilation. In the long run, children’s lack of ventilation at night and disordered sleep structure will cause a series of pathophysiological changes.

　　Children who snore often find it difficult to get up in the morning, often feel sleepy during the day, lack of concentration and hyperactivity, poor memory, learning difficulties, or nocturnal enuresis, growth retardation, hypertension, obesity, etc., and even some children may have psychological and behavioral abnormalities, such as abnormal shyness, rebellion or aggressive behavior. If the child often snores in sleep, or is accompanied by breathing with his mouth open, holding his breath at night, wetting the bed, etc., parents should take the child to the otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery.

　　At present, the clinical diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome is very mature, and many children have achieved satisfactory results after drug treatment or surgical treatment. Timely diagnosis and treatment can not only restore children’s healthy and happy childhood as soon as possible, but also avoid various complications.

In recent years, due to the change of people’s lifestyle, the incidence of stomach diseases is increasing year by year. At present, about 70% of the general population suffers from stomach diseases, and it shows a trend of younger age.

At the turn of the season, it is the high incidence season of stomach diseases. On the one hand, the heat in summer has not completely faded away, and people often don’t avoid cold food. On the other hand, the weather is getting colder, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the gastrointestinal function is weakened, so it is easy to suffer from gastrointestinal diseases. Huang Feijian, an expert in internal medicine at Dongcheng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that people should pay special attention to the acquired protection of the spleen and stomach and try to avoid chilled drinks and foods in summer.

Gastropathy mostly develops from chronic superficial gastritis.

As mentioned in Huangdi Neijing, the spleen and stomach are the sea of water valleys. Only when the spleen and stomach are good, what we eat can be digested and absorbed normally, and then we can study and live energetically. If the digestion is not good, the human body may have a series of problems such as hypoxia and ischemia, which may lead to dizziness and weakness in walking, and even more serious diseases such as enteritis and heart disease. Therefore, it is very important to protect the spleen and stomach.

In today’s era, common stomach diseases include chronic superficial gastritis, chronic congestive gastritis, chronic antritis, chronic erosive gastritis, chronic esophageal reflux gastritis, bile reflux gastritis, chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer, intestinal ulcer and colitis. Among them, chronic superficial gastritis, atrophic gastritis and gastric ulcer are common diseases in our lives. In recent years, with the increasing pressure of life, people’s irregular eating habits and lifestyle changes, more and more people suffer from such stomach diseases.

Huang Feijian said that chronic superficial gastritis can be said to be the basic gastritis of all stomach diseases, and there are many patients. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, chronic superficial gastritis is related to cold pathogen or damp pathogen, and the main symptoms include flatulence, bowel sounds, abdominal sounds, and unpleasant diet. If it is a stomach disease caused by cold and dampness, the main symptoms are noisy and restless stomach, flatulence, acid regurgitation, slight vomiting and constipation, and there will be cases where the symptoms are aggravated by eating cold things and slightly relieved by eating hot ones. After wet and cold stasis appear in the body, the body will have symptoms such as fear of heat, dry mouth, dizziness, insomnia, palpitation, shortness of breath and even high blood pressure.

Among many stomach diseases, chronic superficial gastritis is a mild and easy-to-treat disease, but it should be found and treated early. For chronic superficial gastritis, the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine focuses on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis on the basis of dispelling cold, dehumidification and strengthening the body resistance. The medicine contains Erchen decoction, Huaqi decoction and Lizhong decoction.

Attention should be paid to the fact that gastric ulcer and atrophic gastritis can induce cancer.

Gastric ulcer and atrophic gastritis are concepts of western medicine. Among them, the symptoms of gastric ulcer are applicable to the category of epigastric pain in traditional Chinese medicine, and the lesions are mostly in the upper abdomen, and may also appear in the left upper abdomen or behind the sternum and xiphoid process. Patients often feel dull pain, dull pain, distending pain, burning pain, bloating, fullness, anorexia, indigestion, poor diet or inability to eat. In life, overeating sweets is usually one of the causes of gastric ulcer. The stomach can’t digest and metabolize a lot of sweets completely, and it accumulates in the stomach, which in turn leads to gastric ulcer.

Patients with gastric ulcer often have their symptoms relieved or disappeared after meals. The pain is obvious from half an hour to an hour after meals, and gradually relieved after 1-2 hours, and the pain is aggravated at night. The pain gets worse after catching cold, overeating and drinking. Some patients also have nausea, vomiting, acid regurgitation, belching and diarrhea, and some patients may have no symptoms or take complications such as bleeding and perforation as the first symptom. Gastric ulcer can lead to perforation of ulcer, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and long-term attack can easily lead to gastric cancer.

Atrophic gastritis, also known as chronic atrophic gastritis, is a chronic digestive system disease characterized by atrophy and reduction of gastric mucosa epithelium and glands, thinning of gastric mucosa, thickening of mucosal base, or metaplasia of pyloric gland and intestinal gland, or atypical hyperplasia. Often manifested as dull pain in the upper abdomen, fullness, belching, loss of appetite, emaciation, anemia, etc., it is a multi-pathogenic disease. According to data observation, if atrophic gastritis is not treated in time, the canceration rate is quite high. In the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, atrophic gastritis mainly focuses on relieving qi, strengthening the body resistance, supplementing qi and blood, and improving immunity, and on this basis, it clears up the environment for the growth of Helicobacter pylori. It can be cured in a month or two or three months.

Gastric ulcer and atrophic gastritis can occur independently or simultaneously. Gastric ulcer disease occurs on the basis of chronic gastritis, and many patients with gastric ulcer have chronic atrophic gastritis.

Look, hear and ask questions, and intervene according to the symptoms

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that six evils and seven emotions are both factors leading to atrophic gastritis of gastric ulcer. Most patients with gastric ulcer and atrophic gastritis have white, thick and greasy tongue coating, heavy and astringent pulse, and the pulse is full of yang, and the yin and cold are heavy, which leads to the breeding of Helicobacter pylori. The principle of Chinese medicine in treating diseases is not to directly kill Helicobacter pylori, but to regulate the body itself and fundamentally change the breeding environment of Helicobacter pylori, so that there is no soil for Helicobacter pylori to breed again.

Therefore, whether it is gastric ulcer or atrophic gastritis, it is necessary to find out the cause according to the patient’s pulse, tongue and face, and distinguish which constitution the patient belongs to, cold, dampness, cold and dampness, or stasis. After the diagnosis, the problem can be fundamentally solved by targeted treatment according to the lesions and symptoms.

Diet and life management are indispensable for the treatment of old stomach diseases.

It is very important to protect the temperature of the stomach for patients with gastric ulcer and atrophic gastritis. Diet should be warm, soft, light, vegetarian and fresh, so as to achieve regular quantitative, eat less and eat more meals, do not eat hot, hard, too spicy, too sticky food, but also avoid overeating, smoking and drinking. Under the guidance of a doctor, we should avoid taking drugs that irritate the stomach, and pay attention to the method of taking them, preferably half an hour after meals, in order to avoid irritating the gastric mucosa and worsening the condition. In particular, you can’t eat things that are too cold often. Generally speaking, the temperature of the stomach is around 36 degrees, while the temperature of iced food is between MINUS 1 degree and MINUS 2 degrees. If you drink and eat for a long time, the temperature of the stomach will drop, which will lead to stomach diseases. Therefore, even in hot summer, all kinds of iced drinks and foods should be avoided as much as possible.

Gastric ulcer and atrophic gastritis are closely related to mood and mentality. Therefore, we should pay attention to mental health, keep cheerful and emotional stability, and avoid the stimulation of bad emotions such as tension, anxiety and anger. At the same time, the law of life, work should be combined with rest, ensure sleep, and insist on proper exercise.

■ Tips

Experts recommend traditional Chinese medicine prescription for nourishing stomach

Stomach fever: 1 gram of honeysuckle and 1 rose.

People with stomach cold: stir-fried coix seed 10 grams, Poria cocos 10 grams, 3 slices of ginger, or put a little black tea to protect the gastric mucosa.

Women with stomach fever: 1 gram of chrysanthemum and 2 grams of Bai Meihua.

Women with stomach cold: 1 rose, 2 grams of dried tangerine peel, make tea to drink.

Old people: 6 grams of Astragalus, 6 grams of Poria, make tea to drink. Or add 6 grams of Salvia Miltiorrhiza.

Flatulence: Draw a circle along the navel every night, 36 times clockwise and 36 times counterclockwise, until you have a fever.

■ Tips

Several behaviors that are easy to hurt the stomach

1. Frozen diet is prone to "gastritis"

In the hot summer, you can sweat when you sit still. Many people will gulp down a glass of cold beer or drink a bottle of frozen drink quickly in order to cool down and quench their thirst. I feel carefree, but the cold drink and cold beer I just drank will stimulate the warm stomach. Just like conditioned reflex, the gastric mucosa will contract rapidly, leading to gastric ischemia and hypoxia, which will lead to the recurrence of gastritis or gastropathy.

2. Blowing the air conditioner makes the stomach "cold"

Because of the hot weather, many people blow the air conditioner for a long time at night or blow the fan all night, and don’t cover the quilt at all. Although doing so can increase the comfort of sleep, but let the body stay in a low temperature state for a long time, which will easily make the stomach catch cold, cause stomach discomfort, nausea, bloating and other symptoms.

Irregular diet hurts the stomach the most.

If you don’t eat breakfast, you are hungry for a full meal, and your three meals are unbalanced or overeating, you can do it occasionally, but if you do this for a long time, the damage to your stomach will accumulate over time, which will cause great trouble. Especially for people who have problems with their stomachs, it is simply worse.

　　Investigation motive

　　"Delta Omicron Co-circulation", "Six Yangkang tourists in a scenic spot died of heart failure", "Beijing tap water is sunny" and "Express delivery industry closed on January 8 due to epidemic situation" … … For some time, there have been rumors about the epidemic-related network, distorting the national epidemic prevention policy, dispelling the people’s confidence in fighting the epidemic, seriously endangering social stability, and the people hate it.

　　Recently, the Central Network Information Office reported typical cases of epidemic rumors. The relevant person in charge said that it will continue to resolutely crack down on rumors and rumors, and strictly investigate and deal with account subjects who publish rumors. At the same time, relevant departments and netizens are welcome to actively participate in reporting, provide relevant clues, and work together to eradicate online rumors. Living soil.

　　Why are epidemic-related rumors repeatedly banned, why do some rumors come back after rumors, and how to effectively rectify and purify cyberspace? With these questions, the reporter conducted an in-depth investigation and interview.

　　□ Our reporter Zhang Shoukun Wen Lijuan

　　"Yangkang is not equal to health. Yesterday, several people died in Laojunding skiing, all of them were Yangkang, and suddenly they suffered from heart failure after strenuous exercise." Recently, the net spread "Qinhuangdao Laojunding Scenic Area ‘ Yangkang ’ The information that 6 tourists died of heart failure has attracted attention. After investigation, the news was false information. At present, the rumored woman Ma has been administratively detained by the police.

　　From "killing the whole city tonight" to "increasing chlorine injection into tap water", from "nucleic acid sampling is toxic" to "mask raw materials will cause pulmonary nodules", from "a positive man is transferred by crane" to "a container is used to operate a positive patient somewhere", from "the tap water will spread the virus" to "you can choose a mild strain to infect and produce antibodies" … …

　　In the investigation, the reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" found that every once in a while, all kinds of epidemic-related rumors circulating on the Internet will be "updated". Some of them deliberately misinterpret and fabricate epidemic prevention policies, and some carry out pseudo-popular science under the guise of science. Because they are related to the epidemic situation, these rumors can easily attract people’s attention and get a lot of attention and forwarding, which leads to many people’s doubts, anxiety, panic and other emotions, and even interferes with the normal epidemic prevention and control work.

　　A number of interviewed experts said that to rectify online rumors and purify cyberspace, we must further compact the platform responsibility, improve the information review and judgment mechanism, and control the release of epidemic-related rumors at the source; It is necessary to severely punish rumors according to law, and if serious consequences are caused, criminal punishment will be given.

　　Internet rumors about epidemic diseases continue.

　　Rumors make money by draining.

　　On New Year’s Day this year, Yin Kang, a citizen of Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, who opened the social software early in the morning, found that there were several rumors that had been continuously refuted in his social group and circle of friends.

　　At the end of the holiday, when I went to work, some colleagues told Yin Kang mysteriously with a bottle of Erguotou, that high alcohol can prevent COVID-19 infection. Would you like some? What bothers Yin Kang even more is that grandpa, who had given up smoking and drinking because of his poor liver and lungs, immediately asked his family to smoke and drink … …

　　Yin Kang said that although there are many rumors like this, people with discerning eyes know that they are false at first glance, but because of the rapid spread and wide range, some people, especially many elderly people, are willing to believe it. In addition, there are still many rumors that are cloaked in science, and the tone is so convincing that it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them.

　　Not long ago, WeChat Security Center announced the top ten rumors that were most widely circulated in the circle of friends in 2022, many of which were related to the epidemic situation, such as the toxic reagent on the "sampling cotton swab", the daily subsidy during the epidemic, and the prevention of Covid-19 by soaking Stephania in water. For Pan Ying in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, these rumors are familiar to her.

　　"These top ten rumors have been forwarded by my family elders to the group. In recent years, I have been on the road of rumors, and I have tried my best to tell my family that these are false, but rumors have always existed, especially about the epidemic. This rumor has come again, and some rumors that have been rumored will come back after a while, and every rumor, no matter how outrageous, will always be believed by my family." Pan Ying said.

　　Recently, news about Covid-19 Omicron mutant XBB has been rampant. The latest news shows that the introduction of a new strain XBB.1.5 has been detected in Shanghai. At present, there are many rumors about XBB.1.5 on the Internet, especially a screen shot circulating on the Internet platform, saying that all the strains prevalent in China are the younger brother of XBB.1.5, which mainly focuses on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and will cause diarrhea. It is suggested that the public prepare montmorillonite powder, norfloxacin, rehydration salts, probiotics and so on. Shanghai rumor platform said that the screenshot exaggerated the pathogenicity of XBB.1.5, and did not rule out people with ulterior motives to promote products. Many doctors have warned not to take montmorillonite powder, norfloxacin and other drugs as mentioned in the screenshot at will.

　　In the investigation, the reporter found that since the epidemic prevention and control work was carried out, all kinds of information about the prevention and control of COVID-19 infection have always occupied an eye-catching position on social apps, websites and other network platforms, including many old and new rumors. Moreover, the rumors related to the epidemic have different distribution characteristics in different stages of the epidemic development, reflecting the changes in public sentiment and demand, which may make people have a wrong understanding of COVID-19 infection and adopt wrong means in the process of preventing and treating COVID-19, thus affecting the normal epidemic prevention and control work.

　　The Public Opinion Center of the Rule of Law Network conducted a public opinion analysis on Internet rumors about epidemic diseases caused by high fever, and found that social platforms have become a "Petri dish" for rumors about epidemic diseases. Most rumors about epidemic diseases come from social platforms and spread mainly through chat groups, friends circle, WeChat official account and video numbers, among which chat groups and friends circle are the main positions for communication. This is because the "strong relationship" social circle has the characteristics of privacy, closure, agglomeration, etc. The privacy of the acquaintance relationship chain makes it difficult to track the process of information production and forwarding, and at the same time, the credibility and forwarding volume of rumors are greatly increased, thus achieving cross-group and cross-platform communication. In addition, all kinds of short video platforms have become the new "source" of online rumors. The presence and authenticity of short videos increase the persuasiveness of rumors and often mislead the public to believe them.

　　Why are some publishers keen to fabricate rumors? The Network Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security has revealed this, and there will be advertisements inserted under the content released by the rumors or in the comment area. The more traffic advertisers are exposed and clicked, the more revenue they will get. "It can be said that every time you click, the rumor maker can make money."

　　Yin Kang said that many of his friends and family members feel that forwarding this information at will can remind more people, and it is a positive energy behavior. Even if it is false, it will not cause any losses to others. As a result, it has become a disseminator who has expanded the scope of rumors unconsciously.

　　Hair under the guise of official name

　　The platform is responsible for governance.

　　Recently, a notice claiming to be from "President of Changzhou Red Cross Society" spread widely. According to the notice, if brown sugar, ginger, scallion and garlic are boiled in water, the probability of being infected with the virus is almost zero. Li Lei of Heze City, Shandong Province has also received an "anti-epidemic prescription" from his old mother at home. However, Li Lei’s online verification found that the screenshot had been spread on the Internet as early as February 2020. At that time, the staff of Changzhou Red Cross Society rumored that the organization and the president had not released the above information.

　　"Most of them can be seen as rumors at a glance, and even a large part of them have been rumored by the government and proved to be rumors. I wonder why many rumors have been repeatedly banned, and some people are convinced of the rumors that have been rumored." Li Lei said.

　　Pan Ying said that she saw many rumors, all of which were published under the guise of official organizations. "I used to receive short messages informing me of nucleic acid testing and the health code turning red, which said that they were sent by the CDC and left a phone number. Some of them were true and some were false, so many people were cheated, which led me to doubt their authenticity as long as I saw the epidemic-related text messages now."

　　"There are too many rumors. We may remember them for a while after rumors, but we are not professionals. Most people may forget them in a month or two, and it is difficult to distinguish similar rumors when they come again." Pan Ying said.

　　According to Li Junhui, a special researcher at the Intellectual Property Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, there are three main reasons for the repeated prohibition of epidemic-related rumors. First, epidemic-related information is the focus of public attention, which is related to the individual’s concern about how to avoid being infected and how to deal with it after infection. Second, it is related to the insufficient, untimely and incomplete release of epidemic-related information in some areas, because real information can not meet or solve public concerns, and it will naturally be attracted by some false information; Third, the information of epidemic-related rumors has the characteristics of confirmation, illustration or difficulty in distinguishing authenticity, which makes the relevant information easily misinformed and further misinformed.

　　What kind of responsibility may the rumor-monger bear for spreading rumors about the epidemic?

　　Ai Hongqiang, a lawyer of Beijing Jingshi (Quanzhou) Law Firm, told reporters that according to the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, those who spread rumors, lied about dangerous situations, epidemics, police situations or deliberately disturbed public order by other means will face detention and fines. If a citizen’s personal reputation right is infringed by spreading rumors, according to relevant regulations, the infringer will bear the responsibility of stopping the infringement, restoring the reputation, eliminating the influence, apologizing and compensating for the losses. In addition, making and spreading epidemic rumors may also bear criminal responsibility.

　　At the end of November last year, the Central Network Information Office reported that in view of the recent rumors in the fields of epidemic prevention and control, emergencies, and people’s livelihood, it urged and guided the website platform to strengthen monitoring and verification, and the key website platforms handled more than 5,400 accounts for spreading rumors on the Internet, which was the first time. Trace the source and close the initial account.

　　Experts interviewed by reporters believe that the network platform has an unshirkable responsibility for the governance of epidemic-related information.

　　Li Junhui believes that the network platform should classify information, and make clear what belongs to the simple sharing of individual experiences and what belongs to the misleading information release. For all kinds of information released by users on the platform, a review and judgment mechanism should be established in time, and the experience sharing review with high similarity in information content should be strengthened to avoid spreading false epidemic-related information and causing public panic. For the release of rescue information, it is necessary to ensure that the rescue information can be released normally, and also to prevent criminals from simply copying and applying other people’s help information for release, which will affect public judgment.

　　The relevant staff of Tik Tok Platform told reporters that recently, during routine inspections, the platform found that a very small number of users posted content without medical basis, such as "COVID-19’s remedies for reducing fever — — Boiled soybean water to drink ","Smoked mugwort leaves and moxa sticks can wipe out Covid-19 ","Never eat food when you have a fever, including eggs and milk "and so on. The above contents have been refuted by authoritative media and medical experts. In this regard, the platform has given a continuous blow and treatment. Since November 2022, the platform has handled 332,600 false videos related to the epidemic and marked more than 200,000 suspicious contents.

　　Timely release of authoritative information

　　Crack down on epidemic rumors according to law

　　Recently, Shanghai Rumor-dispelling Platform has sorted out the recent rumors, classified them according to four major themes: prevention, symptoms, treatment and life, and attached suggestions and opinions from medical experts and authoritative organizations, hoping to present a practical "prevention and control book" for the public.

　　The reporter found that by searching for "epidemic situation" or switching to the "anti-epidemic" column on Tik Tok’s homepage, users can enter the epidemic prevention rumor area in Tik Tok and check the relevant knowledge; When Baidu searches with keywords such as "COVID-19" and "epidemic situation", there will also be a rumor-dispelling area and a national epidemic prevention hot search list to give users more scientific guidance.

　　The relevant departments have been taking action to crack down on rumors related to the epidemic.

　　Publishing and spreading false epidemic-related information through the Internet and deliberately creating and spreading epidemic-related rumors have seriously affected the normal public order. Hubei public security organs severely cracked down according to law and seriously investigated the relevant legal responsibilities of publishers, forwarders, group owners, administrators and other personnel.

　　On October 8, 2022, Huang, a citizen of Jianli City, Hubei Province, spread rumors about the epidemic in many social groups. Hu, a citizen of the city, forwarded it to his personal short video account without verification and spread again. The behavior of the two people caused panic among local residents and caused adverse effects. The Hongcheng Police Station in Jianli City organized a police investigation, quickly found the communicators Huang and Hu, and carried out legal education for them. The two clarified the rumor. In the end, the violator Huang was sentenced to five days’ administrative detention and Hu was sentenced to a fine of 200 yuan.

　　In November last year, the Network Information Office of Yulin Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Public Security Bureau of Yulin City of Shaanxi Province issued the Notice on Combating and Rectifying Internet Rumors Related to the Epidemic in accordance with the Law, prohibiting the compilation and distribution of false information and resolutely resisting online rumors. Website platforms, media people and Internet group administrators should strictly review the sources and contents of information related to the epidemic. If publishing and disseminating false information through the Internet has caused serious social impact, online letters and public security organs will crack down on relevant websites, platforms and Internet accounts according to laws and regulations.

　　Recently, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province officially issued a notice, and the information related to the epidemic is subject to the official information released by the epidemic prevention and control headquarters at all levels in the city. For the information related to the epidemic that has not been officially confirmed, it is not published, disseminated, commented, believed, rumored or spread. What has been published should be deleted immediately to actively eliminate the adverse social impact. If it cannot be deleted, it is necessary to promptly dispel rumors and take the initiative to explain the situation to the public.

　　According to Hu Gang, Deputy Secretary-General of internet society of china Legal Work Committee, at present, China has built a legal system of epidemic reporting, notification and publication, which is mainly based on the law on the prevention and control of infectious diseases and emergency regulations for public health emergencies, and a legal system of online rumor management, which is mainly based on the Civil Code, the Criminal Law, the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, the E-commerce Law, the Network Security Law, and the Internet information service management measures, and has continuously carried out special actions such as "clearing and cracking down on online rumors and false information" to supervise the website platform to effectively perform information content management.

　　How can we make the rumors about the epidemic no longer "outcrop"?

　　Li Junhui said that in order to accurately crack down on false or rumor information related to the epidemic, it is necessary to have real and scientific information release subjects or strengthen the linkage between the regulatory authorities and platforms, and subjects with information screening ability and conditions should participate in the review of information release on various platforms to control rumor information release from the source. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the big data analysis of information released by users, refine the focus of users’ attention, and timely release authoritative information to respond, so as to relieve or reduce public concerns. Those who are suspected of deliberately creating and spreading false information shall be investigated for legal responsibility according to law.

　　Hu Gang suggested that the early warning system of infectious diseases and the information disclosure system of infectious diseases should be improved, and the national information on legal infectious diseases should be regularly published by China CDC, and the disease control institutions at or above the county level should regularly publish information on legal infectious diseases in their respective administrative regions. When an infectious disease breaks out and is prevalent, the competent health department of the local people’s government at or above the county level shall publish the epidemic information within its administrative area; When infectious diseases break out and spread across provinces, the competent department of health in the State Council shall be responsible for the announcement. At the same time, to improve the website platform’s ability to accurately control the rumors of epidemic-related networks, Internet industry associations can build information sharing and joint punishment mechanisms, and those who repeatedly maliciously publish rumors can be punished by releasing information within a limited time or prohibiting the release.

Original grumpy little doctor Tencent medical code　

In Chinese over 60 years old, osteoporosis has reached 56%[1].

However, there is one disease that is more frequent than it-senile foot disease, the prevalence rate is as high as 87%, which seriously threatens the health of our parents [2,3].

However, only 7.3% people will take foot disease seriously and consult a doctor [4].

As the saying goes, "people get old when they are old", and when they get old, their legs and feet are awkward at first.

Time and tide wait for no man

With the increase of age, the muscle strength of the foot is weakened, the elasticity of ligaments becomes worse, or due to unsuitable shoes, it is easy to have problems such as arch collapse and hallux valgus [1-3]. As a result, the load-bearing capacity of both feet decreases.

(Made by myself)

2. Poor foot care

Old people, bad eyes, inflexible fingers, and inability to bend over will all lead to a common result-

Give up the care of your feet.

(Made by myself)

If the toenails are too long to be trimmed or washed, it may lead to problems such as too long and thick toenails and onychomycosis.

The most common foot diseases of the elderly are [6]:

Hypertrophy of toenails (41.3%)

Hallux valgus (commonly known as "big foot bone") (28.7%)

Dry skin (26.0%)

Corns and calluses (commonly known as calluses) (24.0%)

These problems will lead to a common consequence-

If you can’t walk steadily, you will fall easily.

Many elderly people are relatively fat, and their feet are heavily burdened when walking, which makes them easy to hurt, increasing the risk of falls and fractures.

Moreover, osteoporosis is a common disease in the elderly, and it is more likely to lead to hip fracture when falling-it is called "the last fracture in life" (the mortality rate of hip fracture is as high as 22%~30%, even 50%[7-9]).

American gerontologist Hazzard said: "A clear head and a pair of feet that can move freely can make the elderly live better." [5]

Inappropriate shoes are one of the reasons why the elderly fall, and more than 70% of the elderly have inappropriate shoes [10]. So, what are the main situations in which shoes are not suitable?

1. The shoes are too narrow

Toes and soles are squeezed for a long time, so that the forefoot is deformed, hallux valgus and little toe are deformed, which will be very painful.

(Made by myself)

2. The shoes are too short

It will bend the toes, which will be deformed after a long time (that is, hammer toes or claw toes).

(Made by myself)

The skin on the instep is squeezed, slowly forming a hard cocoon, which is painful and swollen.

Diabetic elderly people with poor blood sugar control are also prone to serious infections.

Let me say one thing first:

The so-called "shoes for the elderly" should be bought carefully to avoid paying the "filial piety tax".

Many "shoes for the elderly" are branded as breathable, spacious, soft, non-squeezing, and non-slip, and can even be like twisting a towel.

(Made by myself)

But in fact, the softer the shoes, the better. Shoes that can be easily twisted are easy to deform and lack support for the arch.

When buying shoes for the elderly, we should follow the principle of "wide front, tough middle and hard heel".

Specifically, the elderly should pay attention to these three points when choosing shoes:

1. The sole has anti-slip design.

Older people’s physical balance ability becomes worse, and the perception of pressure on the soles of their feet decreases, which will increase the risk of falling when walking [5].

Therefore, it is necessary to choose a non-slip design for the sole.

2. Hard soles with sufficient support

Shoes that are too soft, such as old cloth shoes, lack sufficient support at the arch, and it is easy to feel uncomfortable when walking too much, and the feet are tired, sore and painful; Encountering a gravel road will also increase the risk of falling [11,12].

Hard-soled shoes can increase the safety and stability of the elderly when walking [13].

The middle toughness of shoes should be moderate, and you can try to twist them by hand. It is not good to twist them too easily or completely.

The heel also needs to have a certain height, at least 1.5~2.5 cm, which can disperse the pressure on the sole of the foot.

3. The vamp should be breathable, warm and loose.

Old people’s feet have poor blood circulation and are prone to cold feet, pain, blue skin and other symptoms [11].

Buying a pair of breathable, warm and loose shoes is comfortable and easy to wear, and it can also reduce the incidence of nail malnutrition and fungal infection (commonly known as beriberi) [5].

It can be a little bigger, leaving about 1 cm in front of the toes, so that the toes have enough room to move.

In addition, when the elderly buy shoes, there are three tips:

1. It’s best not to buy it by children or online shopping, but to try it yourself.

Bring socks and insoles that you usually wear. Feel it on your feet and experience walking, running and jumping in the store to choose the shoes that suit you best.

It’s best to buy it in the afternoon

Affected by gravity and venous reflux, people’s feet are usually bigger in the afternoon than in the morning.

Trying on shoes in the morning will hurt your feet in the afternoon [5].

Don’t bother, try more pairs.

Old people often encounter two feet with different sizes, for example, one foot has severe hallux valgus, or the arch of both feet collapses to different degrees.

This requires trying on a few more pairs and finding shoes that are comfortable for both feet. Or put an arch support pad on a shoe.

　　Published in China Newsweek magazine, No.1132, March 18th, 2024.

　　On March 1st, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council presided over the the State Council executive meeting, which discussed and adopted the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods. The meeting pointed out that "promoting a new round of large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods is a major decision made by the CPC Central Committee focusing on the overall situation of China’s high-quality development".

　　In 2023, China’s exports denominated in US dollars decreased by 4.6% year-on-year, which was the first year-on-year negative growth since 2016; Domestically, due to the downturn in the real estate market, the growth rate of investment has also declined. The decision of "trade-in" of consumer goods is put forward in the current complicated domestic and international environment, hoping to play a role in "stabilizing and expanding traditional consumption".

　　The meeting pointed out that this round of "trade-in" should "combine the differentiated needs of upgrading various types of equipment and consumer goods, and increase fiscal, taxation, financial and other policy support". In terms of related fields, "actively carry out the trade-in of consumer goods such as automobiles and household appliances, forming the scale effect of upgrading". It can be seen that this round of "trade-in" is more focused on bulk consumption represented by durable goods. Different from the consumption stimulus policies such as automobile tax reduction and exemption since the epidemic, the meeting clearly pointed out that it is necessary to form a "scale effect of upgrading", indicating that the strength of the policy is unprecedented and the goal to be achieved is clear.

　　Similar to the "home appliances going to the countryside" that began at the end of 2008, this round of "trade-in" is partly due to the decline of external demand, which is intended to expand the domestic demand market and stabilize economic growth. The difference is that, first, the demand is different. If "home appliances going to the countryside" is to meet the rigid demand of residents’ life, then this round of "trade-in" is to meet the improvement demand, and further improve the standard and improve the quality of life of residents on the premise that the basic living materials of residents are met; Second, the target groups are different. "Home appliances going to the countryside" is more about filling the gap of rural household appliances, that is, it is aimed at the problem of insufficient supply of rural household appliances, but this problem does not exist in this round of "trade-in". At present, even rural families have already achieved the popularization of household appliances, and the target groups of this round are mainly the owners of existing durable consumer goods such as cars and household appliances.

　　In view of the characteristics of this round of "trade-in", it can be promoted from the following aspects:

　　First, introduce a relative "elimination" model. This round of "trade-in" is aimed at improving demand, and consumers have greater selectivity than just needed. In the face of the downward pressure of economy, most consumers have the psychology of delaying consumption in the face of improving consumption of durable goods with large expenditure. To ensure that the policy achieves the "scale effect of upgrading", it is necessary to increase policy support for some commodities. For automobile consumption, we can give more subsidies and tax incentives to certain types of vehicles, such as new energy vehicles, and promote the popularization and improvement of other supporting facilities needed for this type of vehicles. For consumer goods such as household appliances, the relative "elimination" mode can be introduced through the formulation of corresponding exchange rules, so as to promote trade-in and reduce delayed consumption. For example, through the formulation of exchange standards, the circulation value of old household appliances can be clarified, and then the relative elimination cost of old household appliances can be clarified, so as to promote residents to deal with the consumption of old household appliances as soon as possible and reduce the delayed consumption of household appliances.

　　Second, set standards as soon as possible. "Trade-in" first needs to set the standard of "exchange" to meet the needs of different groups, and the standard can be set from different dimensions. From the dimension of consumer goods, it is necessary to set the standard of "old" exchange for "new"; Different subsidies, discounts and exchange standards can also be set for "new", even if the preferential strength is not great, it will have the effect of forcing manufacturers to upgrade their products.

　　The purpose of "trade-in" is to improve the quality of life of residents, but it does not mean wasting. Therefore, in the process of "trade-in", we should really consider the rights and interests of consumers and the allocation benefits of resources.

　　First, strengthen the recycling of durable goods and develop circular economy. Exchange is divided into two parts: recovery and reuse. The "recycling" part is to exchange the old for the new, which mainly involves the formulation of standards and the operation and maintenance of platform accounts, and the "reuse" part is to further improve social utility through the differentiation of improvement needs. In view of different personal preferences and consumption levels, the performance of some replaced old consumer goods may still be better than that of new consumer goods with relatively low prices. In this way, through reasonable points exchange and the construction of second-hand platforms, both parties can obtain satisfactory results and further improve the effectiveness of both parties. The significance of building the "exchange and recycling" platform lies in improving the liquidity of durable goods such as household appliances, speeding up the process of eliminating and upgrading household appliances, promoting the consumption of durable goods, and improving the quality of life of floating population and renters. The circulation of second-hand household appliances is especially beneficial to the development of the housing rental market and promotes the flow of talents.

　　Second, we should respect the property rights of residents’ private property. Household appliances and automobiles are the private property of residents, and they are generally "big items" in household durable goods, with high value, accounting for a relatively large proportion of residents’ property. We should earnestly consider the rights and interests and economic situation of existing consumer goods owners, resolutely put an end to the practice of forcing household durable goods to be scrapped by means of laws and administrative orders, and effectively protect the property rights of residents. "Trade-in" should be implemented on the basis of residents’ willingness. The design and implementation of policies should ensure the realization of "Pareto improvement", that is, the welfare of some people can be improved without harming the welfare of others.

Feng Yuyi, a trainee reporter of Southern Finance and Economics, reports from Zhuhai.

In the era of Industry 4.0, AGV/AMR (Mobile Robot for Industrial Application) has become a vital part of industrial production intelligence, and gradually penetrated into manufacturing, logistics and service industries, and the charging industry promoted by this is in the cusp of vigorous development.

At present, the 100 billion-level charging and power market formed by new energy industrial vehicles such as mobile robots, mining machines, low-speed unmanned vehicles and lithium-ion forklifts, as well as the continuation market of secondary sales of charging modules, power batteries and replacement of charging equipment, are accelerating.

According to the forecast of AGV/AMR industry alliance, it is estimated that the new AGV/AMR in China will exceed 120,000 units in 2023, and the new market will exceed 200,000 units in 2025, with a market scale exceeding 45 billion yuan. The compound growth rate of sales in the next five years will remain above 40%. Among them, AGV/AMR charging and power system are two important systems of electric industrial vehicles, accounting for over 8%.

"Electrification and intelligentization of industrial vehicles are the general trend. Even though industrial manufacturing has faced various difficulties in the past three years, the AGV/AMR charging industry is still in a period of rapid growth with strong demand and full of resilience. With the diversified application scenarios of mobile robots, the penetration rate of the charging industry will be further improved. " Recently, Zou Jianjun, founder, chairman and CEO of Guangdong Titan Intelligent Power Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Titan Intelligent"), said in an interview with Southern Finance and Economics all-media reporter.

Founded in 2016, Titan Intelligence is a state-level specialized and new "Little Giant" enterprise focusing on providing overall energy solutions and back-end data services for new energy industrial vehicles. In the context of rising industry demand and maturing technology, Titan Intelligent won the A round of financing from Zhuoshi Investment in 2022.

Compete for product pricing power

At the beginning of Titan Intelligent’s entry into the new track, it coincided with the wave of "oil to electricity" and "lead to lithium" for industrial vehicles. Under the market reform dividend brought by the "double carbon" background, Titan Intelligent stood out and quickly opened the market with its research and development capabilities and market sense.

When talking about why the track was chosen, Zou Jianjun said, "In the process of a customer chat, it was found that the AGV/AMR charging industry is generally a’ one-price’ sale, which is completely a market where the seller has the pricing power." After market research, he found that the domestic AGV/AMR and the charging products of electrified industrial vehicles were almost all imported from abroad. Although the domestic market demand was huge, there was no bargaining power.

After gaining insight into this new market trend, Titan Intelligent accelerated its layout research and development with AGV/AMR and intelligent lithium-ion charging equipment and batteries for electrified industrial vehicles as the main business, and the annual investment in research and development accounted for about 10% of its main business income. In a few years, Titan Intelligent Power has successively launched the digital intelligent charging series for industrial electric vehicles, the side charging and charging integrated machine series for intelligent manipulator of mobile robots, the power battery series for mobile robots, the power battery series for low-speed unmanned vehicles, the power charging series for low-speed unmanned vehicles, wireless charging for mobile robots and other efficient and stable overall charging solutions. The application scenarios involved run through all links of the whole industrial chain, and cover application places such as logistics and transportation, smart home appliances and public infrastructure.

"Although we started later than foreign countries, relying on China’s R&D foundation and industrial chain advantages in the field of new energy charging, we quickly mastered the right to speak in the industry in the game with foreign products, let the price return to a reasonable range, and achieve the domestic market share. First." Zou Jianjun said that more and more foreign manufacturers began to choose to use Titan smart products.

According to reports, while entering the mainstream AGV brand manufacturers in China, including Hangcha Group, Heli Forklift, Kuka Robot, Xinsong Robot, BYD, etc., Titan Intelligence has also obtained international qualification certifications such as cTUVus and CE, and is exported to 195 countries and regions such as America, Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia and Australia, reaching a global coverage rate of 85%. Internationalization has become one of the ideas of Titan’s intelligent "by going up one flight of stairs". Zou Jianjun said, "The forklift truck for lithium battery industry is our important market. 70%-80% of the demand is overseas. Expanding business overseas is equivalent to catching this blue ocean market."

According to the data of Chinafork. com, the global forklift market will be about 150 billion yuan in 2022, including 110 billion yuan in overseas market and 40 billion yuan in domestic market. Domestic forklifts mostly use lithium battery as the main power, and the trend of replacing lead-acid battery forklifts in foreign markets has accelerated significantly, or it will usher in important development opportunities.

With the iterative upgrading of new energy battery technology, it also brings more room for improvement for the mobile robot industry, and is highly expected in reducing costs, improving efficiency, and industrial transformation and upgrading.

Based on long-term observation of the market, Zou Jianjun bet on lithium iron phosphate battery. Titan Intelligent established a subsidiary-Zhuhai Titan Lineng Technology Co., Ltd., and has its own PACK factory, which mainly develops and produces AMR and AGV power lithium battery packs, further improving the overall solution of the power system.

In Zou Jianjun’s view, compared with traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries have the advantages of lighter weight, smaller volume and higher energy density, so the lithium battery forklift model is more compact and the vehicle stability is higher. "And in recent years, the acceptance of lithium battery forklifts by end customers, especially high-end customers, has steadily increased. We believe that the future development prospects of the lithium battery market are very broad."

Explore and create a new model of "energy products+data services"

Walking into the research laboratory of Titan Intelligence, the wireless charger, which is called the "charging treasure" of the mobile robot, is executing the command set by the wireless energy emitting device, and automatically recognizes charging from a distance after finishing the workflow. A series of actions are flowing, and fully automatic and intelligent charging can be realized without connecting vehicles.

This is the research and development site of Titan Intelligent’s autonomous intelligent AGV charging system based on magnetic coupling resonant wireless charging technology, which has no electrode oxidation and fouling, reduces the charging accident caused by poor electrode contact, not only improves the safety and applicability, but also makes AGV charging products more intelligent.

Zou Jianjun revealed that the high-power wireless charger series independently developed by the company has built technical barriers in coil design, circuit research and core algorithm. At present, it has completed the verification in the laboratory stage and will go to the stage of commercialization and mass production next year. "The era of wireless charging has arrived, and it is expected that there will be an outbreak in the next five to ten years."

Compared with wireless charging of electric vehicles, AGV wireless charging requires fast charging mode with low voltage and high current, and the main challenge is to require small size, high efficiency and high cost performance. Zou Jianjun introduced, "We combine AGV battery and wireless charging to build an overall AGV power system, realize modular development, reduce the volume by 50%, and continuously improve the product stability, which is our design idea and core competitiveness to fundamentally reduce costs."

At present, the industrial wireless charging technology track targeted by Titan Intelligence is becoming increasingly hot at home and abroad. According to the incomplete statistics of Southern Finance and Economics reporters, there are already manufacturers in the domestic market, such as Baiyi Technology, Luyu Energy, Avant-garde Wireless, Qingdao Paworth, Taihang Jiaxin Electric, etc., who have laid out new technologies, and new scenes and new applications are constantly opening up. In foreign markets, Tesla announced in June this year that it plans to acquire Wiferion, a German manufacturer that provides wireless charging technology for AGV/AMR.

While Titan Smart continues to increase its research and development of wireless charging systems, the team is constantly exploring innovations in business models.

In recent years, with the blessing of AI, mobile robots have been continuously upgraded intelligently, becoming the "nerve center" of the digital intelligent transformation of traditional manufacturing industry, which is expected to usher in large-scale applications in new energy vehicles, new retail and big health fields.

Facing the future, Titan Intelligence is building a general power platform for mobile robots, equipped with wireless charging system, power system, drive control system and background data management system, exploring software and hardware technologies, and establishing a development model of "energy products+data services".

Zou Jianjun believes that mobile robots must be one of the best carriers of AI applications, and connecting mobile robots with data services "chain" will be the development trend of the future industry.

In Zou Jianjun’s view, AGV charging product providers not only supply mobile robot parts, but also provide end customers with overall energy solutions from warehousing transformation to material docking and maintenance services. "This requires analyzing the density and quality of information collected by mobile robots from the data level to build a new ecosystem, which is also the underlying logic of our layout of this emerging business."

　　The central bank conducted a 7-day reverse repurchase operation of 2 billion yuan today.

　　On April 18th, the central bank conducted a 7-day reverse repurchase operation of 2 billion yuan today, and the winning bid rate was 1.8%, which was the same as before. () iFinD data shows that there are 2 billion yuan of 7-day reverse repurchase due today, so zero delivery and zero return were realized on the same day.

　　The central bank responds whether the real interest rate is too high: different industries and enterprises feel differently, so as to prevent the involution competition from intensifying due to the low interest rate.

　　Zou Lan, director of the Monetary Policy Department of the People’s Bank of China, said that the situation of prices and real interest rates still needs to be comprehensively judged. The current low price is structural and phased. From the structural situation of prices, CPI, PPI, average interest rate of loans, etc. are all average concepts. There are differences in loan interest rates of different industries and enterprises, and the fluctuation range of product prices is different, so the real interest rate is different. The central bank will continue to closely observe the situation of economic recovery and economic transformation. It should not only keep the nominal interest rate at a reasonable level, consolidate the trend of economic recovery, but also fully consider the needs of high-quality development, avoid cutting the kinetic energy of structural adjustment, and prevent low interest rates from intensifying involution competition and idling funds, which will further reduce prices and form a bad cycle with each other.

　　The central bank talks about M2 exceeding 300 trillion yuan: it is not appropriate to make simple comparison in the same period, and the monitoring of fund idling will be strengthened.

　　According to the Securities Times, Zou Lan, director of the Monetary Policy Department of the People’s Bank of China, said at the press conference of the State Council Office that the current broad money (M2) exceeds 300 trillion yuan, which is a reflection of financial support for the development of the real economy in the past years. Generally speaking, the current stock currency is indeed not low. At present, China’s economic restructuring is accelerating, the economy is lighter, the credit demand is weaker than before, and the credit structure is optimized and upgraded. However, all parties have a process of understanding and adapting to this change, and some banks still have "scale plots" in internal assessment, which exceeds the effective financing needs of the real economy; Some enterprises rely on their dominant position to buy wealth management or lend money to other enterprises with low-cost loans. The main business does not make money, but finance becomes the main business, which is easy to form idling and capital precipitation, reducing the efficiency of capital use. Relevant departments will strengthen the monitoring of fund idling and improve the management assessment mechanism. In the future, with the economic transformation and upgrading, the effective financing demand will be restored, the social expectation will be improved, and the phenomenon of fund precipitation idling will also be alleviated. At present, the huge monetary aggregate growth may slow down, and the data will be disturbed, so it is not appropriate to make a simple comparison in the same period.

　　Central Bank Zhu Hexin: The central bank’s goal and determination to maintain the basic stability of the RMB exchange rate will not change.

Although the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar has also fluctuated, it has appreciated against a basket of currencies on a stable basis. In the short term, the economy made a good start in the first quarter, and the positive factors increased, which was conducive to hedging external disturbance factors and supported the RMB exchange rate. The RMB exchange rate remained basically stable on both macro and micro levels. In the next step, the central bank will focus on me, give consideration to internal and external balance, and adhere to a managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies; Pay close attention to the changes in the foreign exchange market, continue to make comprehensive policies and stabilize expectations, resolutely correct procyclical behaviors, resolutely guard against the risk of exchange rate overshoot, and keep the RMB exchange rate basically stable at a balanced level.

　　The vegetation is lush, the rice is fragrant, and it goes to Duanyang.

　　The Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional festival that has lasted for thousands of years, bears the heavy feelings of the Chinese nation for home and country.

　　"Patriotism is the deepest and most lasting emotion in the world." "For every Chinese, patriotism is a duty and a duty, where the heart belongs and the feelings belong" … … General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has made many important expositions on patriotism, stressing the need to learn the "four histories" well and cultivate the feelings of loving the Party, patriotism and socialism.

　　This year’s Dragon Boat Festival, we are about to celebrate the centenary birthday of the Communist Party of China (CPC). The journey of a hundred years is magnificent, and the initial heart of a hundred years lasts for a long time. Let’s appreciate the profound feelings of home and country from several stories about "taste".

　　In August 1920, the first Chinese translation of the communist party Declaration was translated by Chen Wangdao and officially published in Shanghai. This booklet has guided a large number of people with lofty ideals to set up lofty ideals of communism and devote themselves to the cause of national liberation and rejuvenation, which has had an important impact on the birth of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the victory of the China Revolution.

　　In the humble woodshed, a plank was placed on two long benches as a table … … In order to translate the communist party Declaration well, Chen Wangdao, who is proficient in English and Japanese, spent several times as much energy as usual. Once, because he was too focused, he mistook the ink for brown sugar and dipped it in zongzi, and said, "It’s so sweet." This leads to a sentence: the taste of truth is very sweet.

　　On November 29th, 2012, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader told the story of Chen Wangdao’s translation of the communist party Declaration when he visited the exhibition Road to Rejuvenation.

　　△ On June 3rd, 2021, the Memorial Hall of the First National Congress of communist party, China was newly opened. The picture shows the first and second editions of the communist party Declaration in August and September, 1920.

　　Everything goes forward, and we must not forget the road we have traveled; No matter how far you go, you can’t forget the past and why you set out.

　　"Now, it is very meaningful for you to actively preach the story of the old headmaster Comrade Chen Wangdao’s pursuit of truth and spread Marxist theory. I hope you will keep doing it and do it better … …” On June 27th, 2020, the Supreme Leader wrote back to all the members of the party member Volunteer Service Team in Fudan University’s communist party Declaration Exhibition Hall, and raised ardent expectations for party member, especially the young party member.

　　Generations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people have planted patriotic feelings, so that the red gene and revolution can be passed down from generation to generation.

　　"share the blessings with the masses, share the difficulties, have salt with salt, and have no salt with light." On February 20, 2021, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed at the mobilization meeting of Party history study and education that it is necessary to educate and guide the whole party to deeply understand the nature and purpose of the party, insist on doing everything for the people and relying on the people, always put the people in the highest position in their hearts and take the people’s yearning for a better life as their goal.

　　At that time, the Kuomintang reactionaries imposed an economic blockade on the Central Soviet Area in an attempt to prevent "a grain of rice, a pinch of salt and a spoonful of water" from entering the Soviet Area.

　　In the face of difficulties, the villagers frequently resorted to clever tricks, either breaking through the joints of the bamboo poles and loading salt, or soaking clothes with salt water, or even pretending to be beggars, and simply transported salt to the Soviet area. The villagers stepped over many obstacles and risked their lives to help the Red Army out of difficulties. The reason is that the Red Army insists that "salt is the same as salt, and no salt is the same as light" and vows that "as long as the Red Army has salt to eat, the dishes and bowls of ordinary people must be salty".

　　In the winter of 1928, the Red Army seized salt from local tyrants and distributed it to the villagers. Li Shangfa, a villager, was given salt, so he didn’t want to eat it and wanted to leave it to the Red Army. In order to prevent this precious salt jar from falling into the enemy’s hands, he quietly buried the salt jar in the tree hole behind his house. This hiding is 31 years.

　　△ At the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Museum, Li Qiude introduced the salt cans donated by his grandfather Li Shangfa.

　　Today, this brown clay pot is quietly displayed in Jinggangshan Revolutionary Museum, and the salt in it has turned black and crystallized.

　　"Salt is the same as salt, and no salt is the same as light", which vividly explains the initial mission of communist party people and profoundly demonstrates the flesh-and-blood ties between our party and the people.

　　Frogs sing and birds sing, and rice flowers are fragrant. In April, 2018, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Nanfan Scientific and Research Breeding Base during an inspection tour in Hainan and had a cordial conversation with Academician Yuan Longping and other agricultural scientists and technicians.

　　The general secretary said earnestly that more than one billion people have to eat, which is China’s biggest national condition. Improved varieties play a key role in promoting grain production. We must make up our minds to develop China’s seed industry, pay close attention to cultivating excellent varieties with independent intellectual property rights, and ensure national food security from the source.

　　Enjoy the cool dream under the grain, one rice and one life. Yuan Longping fought for the cause of hybrid rice all his life until the last moment.

　　The Supreme Leader stressed that our best memorial to Comrade Yuan Longping is to learn from his noble qualities of loving the Party, the motherland and the people, his firm belief, his perseverance, his courage to innovate and his simplicity, and his noble demeanor of taking the needs of the motherland and the people as his own responsibility, devoting himself to the motherland and the people as his goal, ploughing the fields all his life and writing scientific and technological papers on the land of the motherland in a down-to-earth manner.

　　△ On May 14th, 2021, in Nanfan Public Experimental Base, Yazhou District, Sanya City, Hainan Province, the combine harvester was harvesting "Chaoyouqian" hybrid rice.

　　Innovation is the first driving force for development.

　　On May 28th, 2021, the Supreme Leader emphasized at the Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Tenth National Congress of China Association for Science and Technology: "Practice has proved that China’s independent innovation is promising!
