Iraqi Brother Cheng China Cuisine online celebrity: I am a foreigner but I am not an outsider.

   (Video production: Xue Chen)

    Xinhua News Agency, Chengdu, June 2 (Reporter Xue Chen) "Ah Habibi, I am your good brother Lao Wang!" Dressed in an exquisite suit, a black curls and a beard, and speaking Chinese with a foreign accent, the man who took a selfie with a camera is called Ahmed Jabbar (Chinese name: Wang Lixuan), who comes from far away Iraq. This is his tenth year in China.

    On the Chinese social media platform, Wang Lixuan runs a gourmet account "Lao Wang is in China" with more than 15 million fans. The profile of the account reads: "Having experienced the pain in where will you go, I know how to cherish the hard-won stability and life after coming to China. I love the food here and the scenery here."

    "At first, I thought it was fireworks, but later I realized that it was the whistling sound of the missile falling." Wang Lixuan recalled that he was born in Iraq in 1994, and his childhood memories were full of painful experiences of being displaced by war. From Iraq to Syria, Wang Lixuan and his family have been baptized by war. Finally, in 2014, the family came to China with the help of relatives.

    When he first arrived in China, Wang Lixuan worked as an Arabic intern teacher in an international school in Yinchuan, Ningxia. In order to better integrate into and start a new life in a foreign country, he taught himself Chinese while teaching Arabic. "The people around me are very patient. Although they didn’t understand what they were saying at first, they could see from their eyes that they really wanted to help me." Everything comes to him who waits. Wang Lixuan seized every opportunity in his life to learn Chinese, and finally he could communicate without barriers in less than a year.

    In the days since then, Wang Lixuan’s identity has also changed many times, such as Arabic teacher, class teacher of foreign students, model, actor, anchor with goods … After many changes, Wang Lixuan gradually adapted to the life in China, and her long-lost "sense of security" was also recovered.

    In 2018, Wang Lixuan signed up for an online short video training competition organized by the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region government. Through the competition, he came into contact with the short video on the Internet and learned the basic editing operation and the operation skills of platforms such as bilibili and Tik Tok. On a trip, Wang Lixuan shared her feelings about food in front of the camera while eating it. After editing, this video was uploaded to the internet and got a high number of views. Later, Wang Lixuan took several short videos of food shops, all of which achieved good communication effects. This jealous, Chinese-speaking foreign blogger has gradually entered the field of vision of netizens.

    In less than half a year, the number of fans of Wang Lixuan has soared from tens of thousands to more than 15 million. Through his lens, netizens can enjoy the special food in China without leaving home, and they kindly gave him the homophonic name "To dazzle inside". The video of "Lao Wang in China" not only has unique comments from foreigners’ perspectives, but also has cordial interaction with restaurant owners and diners, which makes each video full of laughter and warmth.

    "Distressed" is a word that often appears in the video barrage of "Lao Wang in China". During the Spring Festival in 2024, when filming in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, Wang Lixuan was sitting alone at a barbecue stall for dinner. A sudden burst of firecrackers startled him in front of the camera, and his eyes were full of fear for a few seconds. "I thought it was the sound of a bomb exploding." This scene was just recorded by the camera, which made countless netizens feel distressed. On the barrage, netizens left messages "Don’t be afraid, this is China", "Looking up in amazement is responsible for yourself, and smiling and lowering your head is a trust in China".

    In March of this year, Wang Lixuan returned to his motherland after nearly 20 years’ absence and met his parents who missed him so much. During his short six days in Iraq, Wang Lixuan also felt that his motherland was gradually recovering. To his surprise, there is a Chinese restaurant in Baghdad, and the construction of schools, hospitals, bridges and railways aided by China is also stepping up. "I deeply feel that China is pulling Iraq forward with warm hands." Wang Lixuan sighed.

    Today, Wang Lixuan began to "carry" his works to overseas social media platforms, hoping to let netizens from more countries know about the development and changes of Chinese food culture and economy and society through short videos.

    "I am a foreigner, but I am not an outsider. I like a peaceful life and I like peaceful people. " In the future, he also wants to expand the video content to China’s tourism, tea culture, costumes, customs, ethnic minorities and other fields, showing colorful and pyrotechnic China.

In the first half of the year, RMB loans in China increased by 12.76 trillion yuan, an increase of 667.7 billion yuan year-on-year.

  Beijing, July 10 (Reporter Jiang Yong) According to World Finance, the economic voice of the Central Radio and Television General Station, the central bank released the Financial Statistics Report for the First Half of 2021 on July 9. In June, the growth rate of broad money (M2), credit and social financing was strong, which was better than market expectations on the whole. The data shows that China’s economy continues to recover well.

  In terms of money supply, at the end of June, the balance of broad money (M2) was 231.78 trillion yuan, up 8.6% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 0.3 percentage points higher than that at the end of May.

  In terms of credit, RMB loans increased by 12.76 trillion yuan in the first half of the year, an increase of 667.7 billion yuan over the same period last year. At the end of June, the balance of RMB loans was 185.5 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.3%, and the growth rate was 0.1 percentage point higher than that at the end of May.

  In terms of social financing scale, the stock of social financing scale at the end of June was 301.56 trillion yuan, up 11% year-on-year. In June, the scale of social financing increased by 3.67 trillion yuan, 200.8 billion yuan more than the same period of last year.

  For the main financial data in the first half of the year, Wen Bin, chief researcher of Minsheng Bank, explained: "Overall, the growth of money, credit and social financing in June exceeded market expectations, reflecting the increased financial support for the real economy. In June, the growth rate of M2 rebounded by 0.3 percentage points to 8.6%, and the enhancement of credit derivative ability was the main reason for the rebound of M2. In June, RMB loans increased by 2.12 trillion yuan, which was not only higher than the new scale in May, but also higher than the same period of last year, which improved the currency’s derivative ability. "

  In terms of sectors, household loans increased by 4.58 trillion yuan, of which short-term loans increased by 1.15 trillion yuan and medium-and long-term loans increased by 3.43 trillion yuan; Loans from enterprises and institutions increased by 8.37 trillion yuan, of which short-term loans increased by 1.23 trillion yuan and medium-and long-term loans increased by 6.62 trillion yuan.

  According to industry insiders, from the structural point of view, corporate loans have increased more, and both short-term and medium-and long-term credit of enterprises have improved. On the one hand, it shows that corporate credit demand is strong, on the other hand, it shows that banks have increased their support for the real economy.

  Xia Dan, a senior researcher at the Financial Research Center of Bank of Communications, said: "In June, the tight credit situation generally eased, which was due to the fact that the transaction volume of the property market did not shrink significantly. We observed that the transaction volume of commercial housing in 30 large and medium-sized cities in June increased compared with that in May, and the demand for medium and long-term loans of enterprises was still not weak, which made the new medium and long-term loans of residents and enterprises both firm. "

  On Friday, the central bank announced that it would cut the deposit reserve ratio of financial institutions by 0.5 percentage points on July 15th, releasing about 1 trillion yuan of long-term funds. This move will effectively increase the long-term stable sources of funds for financial institutions to support the real economy, and guide financial institutions to actively use the funds for RRR reduction to increase support for small and micro enterprises.

  Wen Bin analyzed: "This RRR cut has provided banks with a long-term stable source of funds, which is conducive to the steady growth of the real economy and cost reduction. It is expected that in the second half of the year, finance will form greater support for the real economy, and the growth rate of M2 and social finance may improve, which basically matches the nominal economic growth level.

How to strengthen the "fence" of "fairy tale king" caught in the tug-of-war of rights protection and trademark protection?

  Protecting intellectual property rights and prohibiting the abuse of intellectual property rights, just like two sides of the same coin, are both aimed at making the intellectual property system really promote social development. Only with the consciousness and concept of "strict protection" and "no abuse" can malicious cybersquatting be eradicated.

  A few days ago, Zheng Yuanjie, the king of fairy tales, publicly announced that he would stop writing the monthly magazine "The King of Fairytales" and devote himself to the rights protection of the three trademarks "Pipiru", "Shunk" and "The King of Fairytales". Over the past 36 years, The King of Fairy Tales has published 495 issues, with a total print run of over 200 million copies, affecting millions of readers. But to Zheng Yuanjie’s annoyance, many characters in his works and the word "King of Fairy Tales" are frequently squatted. After years of efforts, there are still 672 infringing trademarks waiting for rights protection.

  The tug-of-war of rights protection exposes imperfect trademark protection.

  His academic performance is not good, and he is not the kind of good boy that school teachers like, but he is kind-hearted, just and brave, and has stories on him — — Zheng Yuanjie’s China boy is called Cpaing. In 1985, with the publication of The King of Fairy Tales, a large number of literary characters, such as Pipiru, Lu Xixi, Shunk and Beta, became famous with Zheng Yuanjie’s fairy tales, which influenced generations of children.

  However, a few years later, who would have thought that all these characters were registered as trademarks: "Pipiru" became pork skin, "Shunk" became an underwear brand, and "Fairy Tale King" became the flagship store of children’s wear e-commerce. In these years, on the road of safeguarding rights, Zheng Yuanjie is almost alone in "fighting". He knew the Copyright Law and Trademark Law by heart, and even risked his life to obtain evidence to defend his rights, but his "record" was not brilliant: in 20 years, there were 672 trademarks, and only 16 successfully defended their rights. In an interview with the media, Zheng Yuanjie revealed that it would take him six years to "win" a controversial trademark on average, which cost about 90,000 yuan.

  Among them, the "tug-of-war" for the rights protection of the three trademarks "Pipiru", "Shuk" and "Fairy Tale King" has been going on for several years. Take the protection of the trademark "Cpaing" as an example. After the lawsuit in Zheng Yuanjie, the trademark of the sued enterprise was initially ruled invalid. After that, the trademark registrant appealed to the Beijing Intellectual Property Court and sent it back for retrial. After the relevant review body ruled that the trademark could be used, Zheng Yuanjie continued to sue … … Because of the twists and turns in the process of defending rights, and without the final victory, Zheng Yuanjie was exhausted.

  "This exposes the imperfection of trademark protection in China. Although the trademark law has provisions on the protection of prior rights, it is not perfect. " Pan Helin, executive director of the Digital Economy Research Institute of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, said that most trademark ownership in China is still the only requirement for obtaining rights by registration, rather than "actual use" and "true intention". However, the protection of prior rights is the general trend in the world. In foreign countries, as long as the earliest user can prove his prior use, even if the trademark has been registered for many years, he can apply for cancellation.

  Lawyer Yu Qingkai, director of the Intellectual Property Professional Committee of Guiyang Lawyers Association of Guizhou Province and senior partner of Beijing Yingke (Guiyang) Law Firm, believes that the purpose of preempting the names of people with certain influence into their own trademarks is to promote their own goods or services with the help of the influence of the names of people, which is subjectively malicious and has no legitimacy. Judging from the judicial practice, the characters with such special phrases as "Cpaing" and "Shunk" were originally created by the obligee, who should have copyright, but there is no corresponding basis for the ownership and protection of rights in the current legal system.

  "Blacklist" may not be able to stop the malicious cybersquatting of trademarks.

  In 2020, there are about 13.4 million trademark applications in the world, and China ranks first in the world with about 9.3 million trademark applications by category. According to preliminary statistics, by the end of the third quarter of 2021, there were 34,300,631 valid registered trademarks nationwide, an increase of 6,920,766 over the same period of the previous year, with a year-on-year increase of 25.27%.

  But in sharp contrast, the rush to register is rampant.

  Ding Zhen, a teenager who suddenly became popular, was robbed, and Eye of the Great Power turned into a pack of cigarettes. Even Zhong Nanshan and Olympic athletes were hot spots. In recent years, wave after wave of "hot spots" trademark news has been searched frequently.

  This phenomenon of cybersquatting has actually been related to the trademark.

  To run counter to the meaning. With the increasing number of trademark registration behaviors of "rubbing hot spots", one registered trademark after another is ridiculous.

  Those registered trademarks, whether hoarded or sold, are often behind unimaginable high transfer fees and usage fees, which may even promote malicious registered trademarks to become a gray industrial chain — — The registration fee is only a few hundred yuan, but if the registered trademark is a famous person, it may involve subsequent transfer, and you can get hundreds or even tens of thousands of times of income.

  Fortunately, China National Intellectual Property Administration and the relevant administrative law enforcement agencies usually use batch rejection to solve the hot events and malicious cybersquatting of characters. For example, after the Chinese Olympic Committee shouted to stop "malicious cybersquatting", China National Intellectual Property Administration official website issued a notice rejecting 109 trademark registration applications such as Yang Qian, Chen Meng and Quanhongchan.

  The Measures for the Administration of the List of Serious Violations of Law and Trust in Market Supervision and Management, which was officially implemented on September 1 last year, clearly stipulates that those who submit malicious trademark registration applications that harm the public interests will be included in the list of serious violations of law and trust.

  Can this move stop this vicious rush to register trademarks? In this regard, Pan Helin said that according to the trademark law, malicious cybersquatting belongs to the category of infringement, not administrative punishment.

  The list of serious dishonesty has a certain deterrent effect on trademark cybersquatting, but there is still a problem of malicious cybersquatting. In judicial practice, there are no clear provisions on the elements of the determination of preemptive registration, such as prior rights and improper means, and the determination of subjective malice is also controversial. Therefore, it is only a reference model to be included in the list of dishonesty. The key is to clarify the legal boundary of malicious trademark squatting and increase the punishment for malicious trademark squatting.

  Let the rule of law become the "fence" of trademark protection

  Last year, China National Intellectual Property Administration issued a special notice, announcing that it would take special actions to crack down on malicious cybersquatting. Among them, malicious squatting on the names of major scientific and technological projects has caused great adverse social impact, and malicious squatting on well-known works or role names has all been included in the crackdown targets.

  China National Intellectual Property Administration stated that it will strengthen overall coordination, expose typical cases, illegal individuals, enterprises and agencies in a timely manner, and hand over those in bad conditions to local law enforcement departments for punishment in time, so as to create a good legal environment, market environment and social environment for all kinds of market players to compete fairly, innovate and consciously resist malicious cybersquatting.

  Outline of Building a Powerful Intellectual Property Country (2021— In 2035), it is proposed that by 2035, China’s comprehensive intellectual property competitiveness will rank among the top in the world, and it will basically become a world-class intellectual property power with China characteristics. In the future, with the increasing protection of intellectual property rights in China, the high-pressure situation against malicious cybersquatting will become a new normal.

  However, in recent years, an act under the banner of intellectual property protection is worthy of vigilance. From the recent Sichuan restaurant being sued for infringement for using the word "green pepper" in its dish name to the previous rights protection incident of "Tongguan Chinese hamburger" and "Xiaoyao Town Hulatang", the limits and protection scope of trademark rights protection have aroused heated public discussion. In the eyes of some people in the industry, protecting intellectual property rights and prohibiting the abuse of intellectual property rights are like two sides of the same coin, both of which are aimed at making the intellectual property system really promote social development. Only with the consciousness and concept of "strict protection" and "prohibition of abuse" can malicious cybersquatting be eradicated.

  It is imperative to protect "plugging" with the rule of law as a trademark. Zheng Yuanjie suggested at the Weibo that a new clause should be added to the Trademark Law: to register the names and titles of well-known literary characters created by others within the copyright protection period, the authorization of the original author is required, and the registered trademark shall not infringe the copyright of others.

  Lawyer Yu Qingkai also suggested perfecting legislation to protect the fair use of trademarks. He said that from the perspective of trademark registration, the author did not apply for trademark registration for the role names and titles of his works in time, which would bring difficulties to the follow-up rights protection. But on the one hand, it takes time and cost to register a trademark. On the other hand, if the current trademark law is not a registration act for the purpose of use, it will be recognized by the intellectual property department as malicious hoarding of trademarks and may be subject to administrative punishment. From this perspective, the author’s application for trademark registration for the role of his work has certain legal risks. Therefore, such role names and article titles should be defined as a new type of intellectual property, or the scope of copyright protection should be expanded to include the previously used influential role names and article titles.

  The industry believes that the "fence" of intellectual property protection can be further built. It is expected that the "plugging" of the rule of law will leave some speculators with no loopholes to drill.

Housework can never be finished? Send you a set of "guide to the rules of housework"

Editor’s note: In life, we will inevitably encounter all kinds of trivial problems. If you master some tricks, trick or two, you may be able to solve life’s problems. Let’s take a look at the healthy living tips compiled by Xiaobian!

Housework can never be finished? Send you a set of "guide to the rules of housework"

Housework is tedious, but not everything needs to be cleaned every day. Recently, based on decades of domestic experience, the British Institute of Good Housekeeping summarized a set of "guide to household chores" that can easily clean the home. Life Times invited domestic experts to interpret this. 

The "Guide" divides the frequency of doing different housework into daily, weekly, monthly, every 3-6 months and every year. 

Household chores once a day: making beds, sweeping the floor, washing the toilet, wiping the kitchen console, washing dishes and washing underwear. 

Weekly housework: vacuuming, cleaning bathroom, brushing tooth cups, cleaning sheets, quilts and towels. 

Monthly housework: cleaning windows and shutters, vacuuming furniture and cleaning doormats.[Full text]

The car is too messy and dangerous.

"It’s not a big problem to put some commonly used items in the car, but if there are too many things, too complicated or misplaced, it will become a potential risk factor in driving." Liu Xin, a researcher at the Traffic Law Research Center of Shandong Jiaotong University, said that open sight and spacious interior space are the prerequisites for ensuring driving safety and winning survival to the greatest extent after an accident. But many car owners don’t realize this.[Full text]

Brilliant trick to polish the tap

Water stains are easy to remain on faucets. After a long time, ugly spots will be formed on the surface, and the water outlet is also easy to generate scale, which is not good for health. It is necessary to clean and maintain the faucet frequently.

At present, the faucets on the market are mostly made of copper and stainless steel, with different materials and different cleaning methods. Most of the copper taps are traditional screw taps, which are easy to rust and difficult to clean. They can be cleaned with scale remover and can be bought in supermarkets. The specific method is: dip a soft-bristled toothbrush in the detergent and gently wipe it. Some alloy faucets are also suitable for this method..[Full text]

Mattress health has to go through four levels

When choosing a mattress, you should have four passes:

Smell off. Before buying, it is best to open the plastic packaging or side inspection port of the mattress and smell if there is any odor. In addition, try to buy a big brand mattress, not less than 1,000 yuan, which is more likely to use inferior adhesives and fillers.

Exposure to the sun. After the mattress is bought, it should be ventilated and exposed for at least 2 weeks, and it is best to expose it once every 1~2 months.

Soft and hard. The mattress should be moderately soft and hard, too soft will make the body too invaginate, increase the load of ligaments and joints around the spine, and it will be easy to backache after a long time; Too hard will make people hang up, increase muscle pressure and affect deep sleep. When picking a mattress, you can press the mattress with your palm, and the depression range is 2~3 cm. In addition, some people like to sleep on hard beds, and it is best to add one or two layers of mattresses.

Force off. Every 2~3 months, the head and feet should be turned upside down or upside down to avoid the collapse of the mattress spring due to uneven stress; When the mattress is partially sunken or feels uneven when lying down, it should be replaced in time.[Full text]

Soap and washing powder can be mixed.

Chemically speaking, soap and washing powder belong to alkaline chemical products, and their pH values are between 8 and 11. Therefore, there is no such thing as "acid-base neutralization" when washing powder and soap are mixed. Another study shows that the decontamination effect will be better if a proper proportion of washing powder and soap are mixed. This is because sodium fatty acid, the main component of soap, will combine with calcium and magnesium ions in water to form a precipitate, which affects the detergency of soap..[Full text]

Mothballs are natural.

Whenever the season changes, people usually put some mothballs in the wardrobe or storage box in order to keep clothes from getting wet and being eaten by insects. However, if mothballs are used improperly, it may bring big trouble.

At present, there are two kinds of mothballs on the market: natural and synthetic. Natural mothballs are mainly extracted from the branches and leaves of camphor trees, which are colorless or white crystals, non-toxic and fragrant. However, synthetic mothballs are mostly made of dichlorobenzene, which has a pungent smell and certain toxicity. Improper placement or excessive placement will cause dizziness, sneezing, skin allergies and other symptoms..[Full text]

Guangzhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Experimental Zone Speeds Up Sailing, 243 projects are signed, settled and started to open.

243 projects in Guangzhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Experimental Zone have been signed, settled and started, with a total investment of over 580 billion yuan to boost the "hot start" of the experimental zone, and Guangzhou Hengxin. Guangzhou, an old city with a history of more than 2,230 years, is always refreshing. On the "new track" of digital economy, Guangzhou has once again accelerated. On March 30th, Guangzhou issued "22 Articles" on the innovation and development of digital economy, taking Guangzhou’s first programmatic policy document on the innovation and development of digital economy as Guangzhou’s first declaration on attracting investment and talents in the field of digital economy. On March 31, the main venue of the mobilization activities for comprehensively accelerating the construction of the Guangzhou Experimental Zone of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy was held in the Broadcasting Center in the core area of Pazhou. At the same time, Tianhe Guangzhou International Financial City Area, Huangpu Yuzhu Area and Panyu Guangzhou University City Branch will realize real-time "cloud interaction" with the main venue. Li Yanhong, Ding Lei, Wang Chuanfu, Liang Jinsong, Guo Guangchang, He Xiaopeng … entrepreneurs with their own traffic; Ali, Tencent, Baidu, Netease, JD.COM, Xiaomi, BYD … are well-known leading enterprises, and all the stars are gathered for a common name-Guangzhou Experimental Zone for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy. This activity also bid farewell to the past "face-to-face" and "hand in hand" signing methods, and upgraded to "screen-to-screen" and "line-to-line" cloud signing. According to statistics, there are 243 projects participating in the activities, with a total investment of 583.59 billion yuan. Among them, there are 2 electronic unveiling projects with a total investment of 2 billion yuan;Collectively signed 98 settlement agreements, with a total investment of 293.16 billion yuan; 99 collectively started projects with a total investment of 216.49 billion yuan; There are 44 collective opening projects with a total investment of 71.94 billion yuan. Super positioning brings huge imagination. At the beginning of this year, the work report of the Guangdong provincial government clearly stated for the first time that it supported Guangzhou to build a national artificial intelligence and digital economy experimental zone. This means that the Guangzhou Experimental Zone of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy will be built into a national platform. In February, the Overall Plan for the Construction of Guangzhou Experimental Zone of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy was published in the No.1 Document of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in 2020, proposing to build Guangzhou Experimental Zone of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy with Pazhou as the core and Pearl River as the link, which marked the full launch of Guangzhou Experimental Zone of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy with a total area of about 81 square kilometers. Super positioning brings huge imagination space. Guangzhou Experimental Zone of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy has built a spatial pattern of "one river, two banks and three districts", with a total area of about 81 square kilometers and the volume equivalent to 13 Pearl River New Cities. Pazhou core area (including Guangzhou University Town), with a total area of about 48 square kilometers. Tencent, Alibaba, Gome, Vipshop, Xiaomi, Fosun and other artificial intelligence and digital economy giants have gathered together, and headquarters buildings have sprung up. High-end scientific research platforms such as Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Laboratory (Guangzhou) and Tianhe No.2, and Guangzhou Internet Court, one of the three largest Internet courts in China, have successively settled down to jointly create "Digital+Exhibition+Headquarters+Scientific Research".A new highland of industrial integration and innovation. Guangzhou International Financial City, with a total area of about 8 square kilometers, is rich in modern service industry resources such as finance and trade, and there are many leading enterprises in science and technology. In the future, the innovative industry of "finance+technology" will be taken as a breakthrough to create an industrial integration development zone of artificial intelligence and digital economy, and an important gathering place for the layout of financial technology and intelligent industries in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Yuzhu area, with a total area of about 25 square kilometers, is built with national innovation platforms such as Terahertz National Science Center and Nano National Science Center, and seven powerful institutes of Chinese Academy of Sciences are introduced to build a demonstration zone of China’s famous software city featuring blockchain, which will continue to accumulate strength. Give full play to Huangpu Port’s advantages as a Millennium-old port and a good port, promote the deep integration of modern shipping, trade and digital economy, and build a new trade innovation center in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The three major areas, facing each other across the river, are connected into pieces, which provide a good condition and solid foundation for the construction of Guangzhou artificial intelligence and digital economy experimental zone. There are a large number of high-quality projects, and the blueprint is drawn and the horn is sounded. Guangzhou shoulders an important mission and is expected to be higher. At the event, China Academy of Sciences, Gao Song, President of South China University of Technology, Ni Guangnan, Academician of China Academy of Engineering, Xu Zongben, Academician of China Academy of Sciences, Li Yanhong, Founder of Baidu, Ding Lei, Chairman of Vipshop Group, Li Dongsheng, Chairman of TCL Technology Group and other scholars and entrepreneurs all expressed their appreciation for Guangzhou’s forward-looking industrial layout and accelerating the development of artificial intelligence and digital economy industries through video or on-site support.Among them, many big coffees came with projects, hoping to join hands with Guangzhou to open up a new track for artificial intelligence and digital economy. The well-known projects have witnessed the "high quality" of Guangzhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Experimental Zone at full speed, with many projects and full weight. First, the scale is large, with 243 projects with a total investment of 583.59 billion yuan. Signed 98 settlement agreements with a total investment of nearly 300 billion yuan; 44 opening projects with a total investment of over 70 billion yuan; 99 projects were started with a total investment of over 200 billion yuan. Second, the structure is excellent, and the projects of leading enterprises in artificial intelligence and digital economy such as JD.COM Group and Tieta Zhilian, financial headquarters projects such as Guangfa Bank, China Life Insurance and Nanyue Bank, and emerging industrial park projects such as China Software CBD Headquarters, China Artificial Intelligence (Guangzhou) Industrial Park and Computer Big Data Industrial Park are introduced. Third, the technology content is high, including major technology platforms such as Guangdong Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy (Guangzhou), Research Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain, and Greater Bay Area Research Institute of Integrated Circuit and System Application in Guangdong Province, as well as a number of high-tech projects such as 5G devices, 3D printing, face recognition, smart travel, smart home, robots and integrated circuits. The overall acceleration of the construction of these projects will surely press the "acceleration button" for the development of Guangzhou’s digital economy, and provide a strong impetus for Guangzhou to ensure the completion of the annual economic and social development goals and realize the new vitality of the old city and "four new talents".The total investment of the projects in the four districts has exceeded 100 billion yuan. From the investment scale of the districts involved in the Guangzhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Experimental Zone, the total investment of the projects in Haizhu, Tianhe, Panyu and Huangpu has exceeded 100 billion yuan. In the core area of Pazhou in Haizhu, the radiation-driven effect caused by the agglomeration of leading enterprises is accelerating, and innovative industrial clusters such as new generation information technology, artificial intelligence and industrial Internet are accelerating. The launching ceremony also confirmed this point. 66 projects participated in the activities with a total investment of 144.6 billion yuan, and all of them are expected to have an operating income of 300 billion yuan after production. Among them, there are 2 electronic listing projects with a total investment of 2 billion yuan; Signed 34 settlement agreements with a total investment of 50.6 billion yuan; 15 opening projects with a total investment of 31.8 billion yuan; 15 new projects were started with a total investment of 60.2 billion yuan.

From 19 to 21, there was heavy rain to heavy rain in Guangdong, and some heavy rains occurred.

On the 19th, under the influence of the vortex and the southwest jet, heavy rain occurred in Guangxi (Qinzhou, Fangchenggang and Nanning), with strong short-term rainfall. The maximum hourly rainfall in Qinzhou was 189.6 mm (02: 00 to 03: 00 on the 19th).

At present, the heavy precipitation clouds in central and southern Guangxi are moving eastward, affecting cities and counties in western Guangdong. It is estimated that from 19th to 21st, there will be a local torrential rain and precipitation process from heavy rain to heavy rain in western Guangdong, southern Pearl River Delta and eastern Guangdong, and there will be heavy rain and heavy rain in other cities and counties. The local area is accompanied by short-term heavy precipitation and strong convective weather such as thunderstorms and strong winds of magnitude 8 or so. Guangdong has entered the "Dragon Boat Water" season, so it is necessary to strengthen the prevention of continuous heavy precipitation and its secondary disasters such as flash floods and mudslides, landslides, collapses and waterlogging in urban and rural areas, and pay attention to the prevention of disasters caused by strong convective weather such as thunderstorms and strong winds.

Weather Reality: On the morning of May 18th to 19th, there were moderate to heavy rains in Zhaoqing and Qingyuan, and showers and heavy rains in other cities and counties. According to the monitoring, from 08: 00 on the 18th to 08: 00 on the 19th, 11 towns and streets in the province recorded heavy rain exceeding 50 mm, and 100 towns and streets recorded heavy rain ranging from 25 mm to 50 mm.

Warm reminder: Guangdong has entered the "Dragon Boat Water" season, and it is necessary to do a good job in the prevention of continuous heavy precipitation and its secondary disasters. 1. Pay attention to the prevention of continuous heavy precipitation and its secondary disasters such as flash floods, mudslides, landslides, collapses, urban and rural waterlogging and floods in small and medium rivers. 2. It is necessary to pay attention to prevent risks such as aerial work facilities, factory sheds, temporary structures, outdoor billboards, tree collapse and agricultural production activities caused by strong convective weather such as lightning strikes and short-term strong winds. 3. When it rains, it is easy to cause visual range obstacles and road water accumulation, and the risk of land and water traffic accidents increases, so attention should be paid to safety.

Experts talk about the latest judicial interpretation of environmental infringement: legal sewage discharge should also bear responsibility for damage

Smoke billowed from the chimney. Zhang Xinyan’s information

        On June 1st, the Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Environmental Tort Liability Disputes (hereinafter referred to as the Interpretation) was issued. There are 19 articles in the Interpretation, which mainly include: the principle of imputation and the reasons for exemption; The responsibility of several people to discharge pollutants; Liability for environmental pollution caused by the fault of the third party; Distribution of burden of proof; Provisions on evidence; Evidence preservation; The responsibility of the polluter; Responsibilities of relevant environmental service agencies; Scope of application and limitation of action.

        What are the highlights of the Interpretation and what impact will it bring? The reporter interviewed Sun Youhai, former deputy director of the Supreme People’s Court Research Office, now professor of Tianjin University and dean of law school on these issues.

        China environmental newsWhat is the imputation principle of environmental pollution tort liability in the Interpretation?

        Sun youhaiThe essence of Article 1 of the Interpretation is whether legal sewage discharge bears the tort liability of environmental pollution. In practice, there are two opinions on whether legal sewage discharge bears the tort liability of environmental pollution.

        One view is that in the past, some laws regarded "illegality" as one of the constitutive requirements of environmental pollution responsibility, so it should be adhered to. Another view is that Article 65 of the Tort Liability Law does not distinguish whether pollutants are discharged legally, but whether the polluter is at fault or not, and the polluter shall bear tort liability. In other words, even if the pollutant discharge behavior of the polluter meets the requirements of national or local pollutant discharge standards, it shall bear tort liability as long as it causes damage.

        The Interpretation adheres to the "no-fault principle", that is, no matter whether the polluter is subjectively "intentional" about the pollutants discharged, as long as it discharges pollutants and causes damage, it should bear civil liability. This is the inevitable result of the development of international environmental law and the concrete embodiment of the development of China’s environmental law. According to this provision, the people’s court will not support the claim that the polluter does not assume responsibility on the grounds that the discharge of pollutants meets the national or local pollutant discharge standards.

        There are also many cases for reference in trial practice. For example, the People’s Court of Longtan District, Jilin City (2004) Long Min Yi Chu Zi No.1377 case.

        The defendant is a chemical enterprise that produces sulfuric acid, and the vineyard planted by Wang is nearby. Wang sued the court for the defendant’s discharge of sulfur dioxide, which caused his grapes to be reduced due to pollution, while the defendant argued that it was a discharge unit that reached the standard through special environmental impact assessment.

        The court held that the national or local pollutant discharge standards are only the basis for the environmental protection department to decide whether the pollutant discharge unit needs to pay sewage charges and carry out environmental management, rather than the boundary for determining whether the pollutant discharge unit is liable for compensation. The legal discharge of pollutants by enterprises may also lead to dangerous results of damage to others, and there should be relief if there is damage. The Law on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution does not regard illegality as a necessary condition for the actor to bear civil liability, which shows that the constitution of environmental civil liability does not require the actor’s behavior to be illegal.

        China environmental newsHow should several polluters bear the responsibility for causing damage by polluting the environment?

        Sun youhaiSeveral polluters commit environmental pollution, including two situations: first, several polluters jointly commit environmental pollution; Second, several polluters commit environmental pollution behaviors respectively. Articles 2 and 3 of this Interpretation respectively stipulate these two situations.

        First, if several polluters jointly commit environmental pollution and cause damage to the infringed, they shall be jointly and severally liable in accordance with Article 8 of the Tort Liability Law.

        Second, if several polluters respectively commit environmental pollution and cause the same damage, the Interpretation stipulates that three situations should be distinguished.

        It should be noted that Articles 2 and 3 of the Interpretation stipulate how several polluters should be held responsible for the damage caused by environmental pollution. If it is necessary to determine how to share the responsibility among several polluters, the provisions of Article 4 of the Interpretation shall apply.

        China environmental newsHow to bear the responsibility for environmental pollution damage caused by the fault of the third party?

        Sun youhaiIn practice, some environmental pollution behaviors are caused by the fault of a third person other than the polluter and the infringed. In this case, in order to fully protect the legitimate rights and interests of the infringed, Article 68 of the Tort Liability Law stipulates that the infringed may choose to request the polluter or a third party to compensate.

        However, the Tort Liability Law does not clarify the litigation status of the polluter and the third party. If the polluter is also at fault for polluting the environment, how should the third party bear the responsibility and whether the polluter can claim to reduce or exempt the responsibility on the grounds of the third party’s fault. To this end, the fifth article of this Interpretation stipulates three aspects.

        China environmental newsThe Interpretation stipulates the burden of proof of the infringer and the polluter respectively. How should the parties give evidence?

        Sun youhaiArticle 6 of the Interpretation is about the burden of proof of the infringed, which is based on Article 64 of the Civil Procedure Law. In practice, there is no dispute that the infringed should bear the burden of proof for the pollution behavior and the damage facts. However, there are two opinions on whether the infringed should submit preliminary proof materials on the correlation between pollution behavior and damage results.

        One view is that according to Article 66 of the Tort Liability Law, the principle of inversion of the burden of proof of causality applies to environmental pollution liability disputes, and the polluter should bear the burden of proof for the absence of causality, and the infringed should not bear any burden of proof for causality; Another view is that the infringed should submit preliminary proof materials on the correlation between pollution behavior and damage. After research, the second opinion was adopted.

        Article 7 of the Interpretation is about the burden of proof of polluters, which is based on the provisions of Article 66 of the Tort Liability Law. According to Article 66 of Tort Liability Law, polluters should bear the burden of proof that there is no causal relationship between behavior and damage. However, under what circumstances, the people’s court can determine that the polluter has completed the burden of proof, which is not clearly stipulated in the law and has different practices in practice. After repeated research, Article 7 of the Interpretation stipulates four situations.

        China environmental newsIt is difficult to determine the specificity of environmental pollution involved in some cases. How should we deal with it?

        Sun youhaiThe trial of civil cases of environmental pollution often involves specialized issues such as pollutant identification, loss assessment, causal relationship identification, etc., and the judicial appraisal institution needs to issue appraisal opinions. However, at present, there are few institutions with environmental pollution appraisal qualifications, long appraisal period and high cost, which are difficult to meet the practical needs of handling cases.

        In view of this, the Interpretation refers to the Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in Handling Criminal Cases of Environmental Pollution, which clearly stipulates that if it is difficult to determine the specificity of environmental pollution involved in the case, it may entrust a judicial appraisal institution with relevant qualifications to issue an appraisal opinion or an institution recommended by the environmental protection department of the State Council to issue an inspection, testing or monitoring report.

        China environmental newsHow to play an expert role in the trial of environmental tort liability disputes?

        Sun youhaiEnvironmental tort liability disputes involve many technical and professional issues, and the parties often can’t meet the needs of litigation according to their own knowledge. Judges and litigation agents entrusted by the parties are generally expert in law, but they are not necessarily clear about the technical problems in the facts of the case.

        In order to fully protect the litigation rights of the parties, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, and help the judge to judge in the middle and correctly identify the facts, the Interpretation clearly stipulates the procedures and functions of people with specialized knowledge to appear in court according to Article 79 of the Civil Procedure Law.

        First, the procedure for people with specialized knowledge to appear in court. If it is necessary for a person with specialized knowledge to appear in court, the parties concerned shall apply to the people’s court and explain the reasons. If a party fails to apply, the people’s court may explain it to him if it deems it necessary;

        Second, the role of people with specialized knowledge in court. People with specialized knowledge appear in court, mainly to give opinions on expert opinions or professional issues such as pollutant identification, damage consequences and causality. Moreover, the opinions put forward by people with specialized knowledge in court can be used as the basis for determining the facts of the case after cross-examination by the parties.

        China environmental news: What civil liabilities should the polluter bear in environmental tort liability disputes?

        Sun youhaiAccording to Article 15 of Tort Liability Law, the main ways to bear tort liability are: stop the infringement; Remove obstacles; Eliminate danger; Return property; Restore to the original state; Compensation for losses; Apologize; 8 kinds, such as eliminating influence and restoring reputation. Among them, "returning property" belongs to the typical right of claim, and "eliminating influence and restoring reputation" belongs to the typical category of personality right. According to the characteristics of environmental damage, returning property, eliminating influence and restoring reputation generally do not apply to environmental tort liability disputes.

        To this end, the Interpretation stipulates that the people’s court shall reasonably determine that the polluter shall bear civil liabilities such as stopping the infringement, removing the obstruction, eliminating the danger, restoring the original state, apologizing and compensating for the losses according to the claim of the infringed person and the specific case.

        Among them, "restitution" mainly requires the infringer to bear the responsibility of pollution control and ecological restoration, including in-situ restoration and off-site restoration. If the infringer fails to control or repair or is unable to control or repair, the people’s court may entrust the relevant unit to perform it on his behalf, and the expenses shall be borne by the polluter. "Compensation for losses" includes the property loss and personal loss caused by the infringed party’s pollution behavior and the expenses incurred by necessary and reasonable measures to prevent pollution from expanding and eliminate pollution.

        China environmental news: What responsibilities should environmental service agencies bear?

        Sun youhaiArticle 65 of the Environmental Protection Law stipulates that environmental impact assessment institutions, environmental monitoring institutions and institutions engaged in the maintenance and operation of environmental monitoring equipment and pollution prevention facilities, if they resort to deception in relevant environmental service activities and are responsible for environmental pollution and ecological damage, they shall be punished in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and shall also be jointly and severally liable with other persons responsible for environmental pollution and ecological damage.

        In order to enhance the practical operation of this article and unify the applicable standards of the law, Article 16 of the Interpretation stipulates that if one of the circumstances is met, it shall be deemed as fraud as stipulated in Article 65 of the Environmental Protection Law.

        China environmental newsHow to understand the relationship between the Interpretation and the Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Environmental Civil Public Interest Litigation Cases?

        Sun youhaiThe newly revised Civil Procedure Law and Environmental Protection Law both stipulate environmental civil public interest litigation and private interest litigation. These two types of litigation have commonalities in ascertaining the facts of the case and taking responsibility, while public interest litigation is different from private interest litigation in the aspects of litigation subject, litigation purpose and litigation request.

        To this end, the Supreme People’s Court drafted the Interpretation and the Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Environmental Civil Public Interest Litigation Cases. Among them, the Interpretation applies not only to environmental civil public interest litigation, but also to environmental civil private interest litigation, stipulates the general rules applicable to both types of litigation, and focuses on regulating substantive issues such as how polluters bear responsibility; The Interpretation of Environmental Public Interest Litigation only provides special rules applicable to public interest litigation, focusing on standardizing procedural issues such as parties and jurisdiction of environmental public interest litigation.

What impact does the Interpretation bring?

        1. To the people’s court

        In view of the problems existing in the environmental trial, the Interpretation clarifies the boundaries of civil liability that all relevant subjects should bear, which will greatly improve the quality and effectiveness of the trial and help improve the judicial credibility.

        2. To the environmental protection department

        In the process of drafting the Interpretation, the opinions of the competent department of environmental protection were fully solicited, and the relationship between the trial work of the people’s court and the administrative management of the competent department of environmental protection was clarified, which greatly reduced the pressure of letters and visits to environmental protection, and was bound to help improve the work efficiency of the competent department of environmental protection.

        3. For polluters

        The Interpretation clarifies the polluter’s no-fault principle for his own pollution behavior, and also clarifies how to bear the burden of proof when several polluters commit environmental pollution and a third person causes damage. Therefore, it will play a positive role in distinguishing right from wrong and distinguishing responsibilities, thus increasing the compensation of polluters and promoting environmental improvement.

        4. For pollution victims

        The Interpretation clarifies the responsibilities of relevant subjects such as polluters, polluters and victims, and between them and third parties, which greatly facilitates polluters to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests according to law. At the same time, it also clarifies some of the burden of proof that pollution victims should bear, which is objectively conducive to preventing the occurrence of indiscriminate complaints.

        5. Environmental service agencies

        In order to implement the new environmental protection law, the Interpretation clearly stipulates that environmental service agencies shall be jointly and severally liable for compensation for fraud that may occur in their service work. This will objectively promote them to improve their integrity and do their due diligence in environmental services within their own scope according to law.

Attached to the original interpretation:

        The Supreme People’s Court’s Interpretation of Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Environmental Tort Liability Disputes

        (Adopted at the 1644th meeting of the Judicial Committee of the Supreme People’s Court on February 9, 2015)

        In order to correctly hear environmental tort liability disputes, this interpretation is formulated in accordance with the provisions of People’s Republic of China (PRC) Tort Liability Law, People’s Republic of China (PRC) Environmental Protection Law, People’s Republic of China (PRC) Civil Procedure Law and other laws, combined with trial practice.

        the first No matter whether the polluter is at fault or not, the polluter shall bear tort liability for damage caused by environmental pollution. The people’s court shall not support the claim that the polluter is not liable on the grounds that the discharge of pollutants meets the national or local pollutant discharge standards..

        Where the polluter does not bear the responsibility or reduces the responsibility, the provisions of the marine environmental protection law, the water pollution prevention law, the air pollution prevention law and other separate laws on environmental protection shall apply; Where there are no provisions in the specific law on environmental protection, the provisions of the Tort Liability Law shall apply.

        the second If two or more polluters jointly commit pollution acts and cause damage, and the infringed party requests the polluters to bear joint liability according to Article 8 of the Tort Liability Law, the people’s court shall support it.

        Article If two or more polluters commit pollution acts separately and cause the same damage, and each polluter’s pollution act is enough to cause all damage, the people’s court shall support the infringer’s request that the polluters bear joint liability according to Article 11 of the Tort Liability Law.

        The people’s court shall support the case that two or more polluters have committed pollution acts respectively, causing the same damage, and each polluter’s pollution act is not enough to cause all the damage, and the infringed party requests the polluter to bear the responsibility according to Article 12 of the Tort Liability Law.

        The people’s court shall support the case where two or more polluters respectively commit pollution acts that cause the same damage, and some polluters’ pollution acts are enough to cause all the damage, while some polluters’ pollution acts only cause part of the damage. In accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of the Tort Liability Law, the infringed party requests the polluter that causes all the damage and other polluters to bear joint and several liability for all the damage.

Dialogue "Made in Chongqing" Chief Designer of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: There are more "century projects" waiting for us in the future.

Today (24th), after six years of preparatory work and nine years of formal construction, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was officially opened to traffic. Behind this "century project" that shocked the world, there is a person who deeply participated in the whole process of bridge construction. He is Meng Fanchao, a bridge and tunnel student of Chongqing Jiaotong University in 1978 and now the chief designer of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. In his busy schedule, he accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Hualong. com.

The heart of serving the country-

He devoted himself to the first-line exhibition and cultivated the bridge field for nearly 40 years.

The total length of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is about 55 kilometers, of which the main works include a 22.9-kilometer bridge, a 6.7-kilometer submarine tunnel and artificial islands in the east and west connecting the tunnel and the bridge. From scheme design to construction, China has created one project after another, breaking the limit of offshore bridge engineering in the world. It took 15 years from the establishment, construction and completion of the bridge, and the chief designer Meng Fanchao witnessed the whole process.

As early as 1980s, Meng Fanchao visited developed countries, and wherever he went, a modern transportation system had already been built, which deeply stimulated him. "We should do the same. We must step up planning and construction of expressways and bridges." Meng Fanchao said that it was this sense of urgency that prompted him to devote himself to the front line, to practice in his own field and to catch up.

Since 1982, Meng Fanchao has been deeply involved in the bridge design industry for nearly 40 years, witnessed the modernization of the national transportation system from toddler to soaring, and presided over and participated in the design of more than 20 advanced bridges in China and even in the world.

"It is the reform and opening up that has brought us opportunities, and thanks to the country for providing us with a stage to display our ambitions." Meng Fanchao said.

Overcome the "century project"-

Put forward the concept of "four modernizations" and complete hundreds of scientific research innovations

In 2004, Meng Fanchao received the task of designing the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and began to undertake the feasibility study of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Since then, Meng Fanchao, together with more than 30,000 bridge builders, has challenged this "century project".

In Meng Fanchao’s view, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is not only a traffic construction project in China, but also a super project in the world. Therefore, the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge must have an international vision and mind. "We must build a leading bridge in the world today."

As a world-class super project, it must be supported by world-class quality. It is the special location of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the positioning of super-projects, the complexity of construction conditions and the requirements of technological innovation that determine that there are four major challenges in the construction process-engineering technology challenges, construction safety challenges, environmental protection challenges and construction management challenges.

Under the pressure of these "four challenges", Meng Fanchao put forward the concept of "large-scale, factory-oriented, standardized and assembled", also known as "four modernizations", which was recognized and supported by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Administration and Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

By the eve of opening to traffic, the research team of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge had completed 31 innovative construction methods, 13 innovative software, 31 innovative equipment and 3 innovative products, and applied for 454 patents. "This is the most innovative project in a single bridge and tunnel in the world. It can be said that without innovation, there would be no Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao today." Meng Fanchao said.

At present, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is a sea-crossing bridge with the longest mileage, the longest service life, the largest steel structure, the most difficult construction, the longest immersed tunnel, the highest technical content and the largest scientific patents and investment amount in the world. The technology and equipment scale of the bridge project have created many world records.

Ingenuity does not forget the way-

I went back to my alma mater Chongqing Jiaotong University many times to talk to young students.

On the eve of the official opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, on the afternoon of October 20th, Meng Fanchao returned to his alma mater, Chongqing Jiaotong University, to participate in a series of commemorative activities of "Meet for 40 Years" for the alumni of the Department of Road and Bridge.

According to official website of Chongqing Jiaotong University, on the same day, in the academic exchange session with the theme of "New Achievements and New Thinking of Transportation Science and Technology", Meng Fanchao gave a wonderful speech entitled "My Bridge Experience and Practice", detailing all the major projects he participated in the construction and design since his employment, especially when he mentioned the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Facing the world-class bridge designers, the teachers and students present were absorbed and listened carefully.

In the view of Li Shijiao, director of the Liaison Office of Chongqing Jiaotong University, Meng Fanchao is a modest and low-key person who treats teachers, students and all walks of life as a gentleman. "Even if he didn’t have time to go home and take care of his family, he returned to his alma mater many times to guide the construction and development, and the dialogue encouraged the students to grow up, which well explained the two-way spirit of’ going into the endless road’ that his alma mater has always adhered to. The heart of boxing is evident." Li Shizhen said.

李世佼说,几十年来,孟凡超始终不忘当年恩师、全国知名桥梁专家顾安邦教授对桥梁人的热切期盼,希望早日实现从桥梁大国迈向桥梁强国的梦想。而今,他终于圆梦港珠澳大桥,以勇气、担当、协作,煅造着交大烙印的“匠心精神”,我们感到由衷地自豪和骄傲。

孟凡超作精彩演讲。 校方供图 华龙网发

》》对话孟凡超

华龙网:昨天港珠澳大桥举行开通仪式时,您在哪里?

孟凡超:我作为大桥管理和施工方面的代表之一,在东人工岛接受习总书记会见,他与我们一一握手、亲切交谈,让我倍感振奋,深受鼓舞。

华龙网:这些年多次上桥,正式开通后的感受有什么不同?

孟凡超:2016年6月份大桥主体结构就完工了,那时候就已经可以在上面跑了,但到处都是热火朝天的施工场景。现在不同了,大桥开通后,再到桥上去,感受更多的就是壮观、豪迈、大气,看到沿途的景观艺术、建筑风采都完整地呈现出来,就像自己孕育的孩子一样,满是自豪。

Hualong. com: After the opening of the bridge, many residents went to experience it today. In your opinion, what impact and effect will the bridge bring?

Meng Fanchao: The bridge connects Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao into a whole, and makes Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area realize urbanization and integration. Like new york, San Francisco and Tokyo Bay Area, it is more convenient to promote the life of Bay Area residents through the transportation in the same city, but the future population and economic aggregate of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will not be comparable to any existing world-class Bay Area.

The great significance of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is that it will completely change the population structure, economic structure and traffic status of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, promote the emergence of new lifestyles and new development models, and promote the integrated development of the three places. The indirect GDP may reach several trillion yuan or even more than ten trillion yuan.

As far as the bridge construction itself is concerned, in the ten years of bridge design and construction, we have made great efforts to innovate and trained a large number of engineering talents who have mastered the core construction technology, and the level of engineering design, construction and construction will reach a new level. It has accumulated experience and confidence for other large-scale projects in the future.

Hualong. com: The life expectancy of the bridge is 120 years. What measures are taken to ensure its realization?

Meng Fanchao: The construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge stands at the height of the whole country and is of great significance to promoting the development of Greater Bay Area. This urges us to adopt ultra-high standards for construction quality control, such as the thickness of concrete protective layer, corrosion-resistant steel bars, the dimensional accuracy of immersed tube steel bars in island tunnel projects, and the docking error of submerged tubes, and so on.

To ensure the service life of the bridge for 120 years means that all possible natural disasters, the erosion of the bridge structure by seawater and atmosphere, and even the fatigue and aging of the bridge itself should be taken into account. Therefore, during the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, we adopted the methods of large-scale, factory-based, standardization and assembly (that is, "four modernizations"). On the one hand, our principle is no blind area, all-round, all requirements can be reached, inspected, repaired and replaced; On the other hand, for permanent structures that cannot be replaced, we will guarantee the service life of more than 120 years.

Under the concept of "four modernizations", the problems of bridge island tunnel landscape culture and art, steel pipe composite pile foundation, high-precision assembly technology of bridge island tunnel and 120-year durability technology have been overcome, and hundreds of patent achievements have been obtained in this way.

Hualong. com: Are there any other projects you want to challenge after the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge?

Meng Fanchao: To the north of the Pearl River Delta, there are at least five or six large bridges waiting for us, such as Taiwan Province Strait Bridge, Qiongzhou Strait Bridge and Bohai Bay Passage. For us, the economic strength, technical level and engineering resources of bridge construction are still full of confidence, especially after the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has accumulated a large number of talents and technical experience.

Hualong. com: As an excellent graduate of Chongqing Jiaotong University, what do you think of your college career?

Meng Fanchao: It happened in 1978 when I entered the university. Everyone cherished the hard-won opportunity to study. At that time, our life was very simple. Every day, there were three points and one line in the classroom, dormitory and canteen, reading, self-study and homework. When we were tired of reading, we asked a few people to play ball games for a change and exercise. It’s not easy to become a college student. At that time, I thought I must study hard and make contributions to national construction.

Hualong. com: Over the years, you have come back to Chongqing many times. What do you think of Chongqing?

Meng Fanchao: The development of Chongqing is obvious to all. Especially after the direct administration, Chongqing’s transportation system has developed rapidly and high-rise buildings abound, showing a prosperous scene. Together with the natural environment where the two rivers meet, it has created this unique mountain city that is rare in the whole country. As a student coming out of Chongqing, I feel very gratified and proud. It is hoped that Chongqing will be able to build more high-quality bridges in the future, improve the rapid transportation system and boost the high-quality development of the city.

Hualong. com: What messages do you have for young students?

Meng Fanchao: First of all, we should devote enough energy to basic study and professional study. On the premise of laying a solid foundation and ensuring intensive study, we should also have a certain breadth of knowledge. An excellent engineer, whether engaged in construction or design, has a wealth of knowledge. After entering the post, it is not only things in books that show his ability, but also humanities, politics, economy, history, geography and so on can help you broaden your horizons.

"For many builders, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has gone from the design to the completion, and everyone has entered the middle age without doubt from the passionate youth. The most exciting years in life are accompanied by the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge."

Zhang Hong: Responsible for prefabrication of submarine immersed tunnel for Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao project.

In December 2010, the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge started. In 2011, Zhang Hong, the chief engineer of Chongqing, came to Zhuhai to participate in the construction. His job is the prefabrication of submarine immersed tunnel. "In order to let the 10,000-ton ship pass through, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge designed a submarine immersed tunnel. 33 tunnels were completed in a nearby factory in advance, and then they were seamlessly connected like Lego bricks." Zhang Hong said that in the past seven years, he has challenged various technical problems and suffered many failures. "But now the magnificent bridge is in front of me, and I can’t remember the painful days I have experienced at all."

Zhang Baolan: Major Female Professors Overcome the Key Technology to Make the Cross-Harbour Tunnel "Water-tight"

The key to the successful completion of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge lies in the submarine immersed tube tunnel. Concrete is the most important thing to ensure that the immersed tunnel will not leak water on the seabed for 120 years. Zhang Baolan, an alumnus of the Building Materials Department of the 1983 School of Materials of Chongqing University, has overcome the key technology to make the cross-harbour tunnel "watertight". She is also the only female professor and senior engineer who always insists on working in the front line of this project. She said that the most important thing is to be calm and calm when encountering such a good project as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and overcoming many difficulties to persevere and lead the team to achieve good results.

Commentary on the Taiwan Strait: The Taiwan military, whose planes crashed and people died repeatedly, became a poor "waste recycling station"

  "If the dry wine is not sold?" That classic old song sung by Julie on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and even the whole Chinese community seems to be very suitable for the Democratic Progressive Party authorities who are mired in the "Taiwan independence" now. This group of national scum, who are swollen and fat, are willing to act as the "big head" for American politicians to sell second-hand weapons, turning the bluffing Taiwan military into an out-and-out "recycling bin".

  On the 17th of this month, an F-16 fighter plane of Taiwan Province’s military lost contact off Hualien, and the pilot has not been heard from since. This is the second fighter plane that the Taiwan military fell in 20 days, and it is also the fourth accident in which it crashed and killed people this year.

  The Democratic Progressive Party authorities are hard to blame for the frequent accidents of the Taiwan military. For some time, in order to rely on the United States to seek "independence" and "unite with the United States to resist the land", they sold weapons to Taiwan to the United States, no matter how long they were eliminated and how high the price was, and they took them all, resulting in heavy losses and frequent accidents for the Taiwan military and becoming a poor "waste recycling center."

  At the press conference of the Ministry of National Defense on October 29, Wu Qian told the "Taiwan independence" separatists that "independence" by force is a dead end.

  It is clear to the discerning eye that the so-called US arms sales to Taiwan are in essence nothing more than a trick that some politicians and military interest groups in the US regard Taiwan Province as an "ATM" and use a large number of discarded second-hand equipment waste to realize sky-high prices. The whole transaction is entirely determined by the interests of the United States, and Taiwan Province has no say at all. No matter how bad the junk is, the United States always buys and sells at the same price, and even makes an own goal that the United States announced arms sales without the knowledge of the Taiwan military executives and eventually "swallowed hard".

  According to media reports, the F-5E fighter plane that crashed at the end of October has been in service for more than 40 years. Taiwan Province has purchased relevant spare parts from the US twice in 2016 and 2018, but has not received any reply. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities kowtowed to the United States, which led to the death of Taiwan soldiers. The media revealed that the pilot had revealed to his family before his death that the old F-5 would have an accident sooner or later, and it was verified!

  Even so, in order to enhance the bargaining chip against the mainland, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities are still willing to fill in the big spenders, and they will not hesitate to leave their debts to their children and grandchildren, and continue to increase their purchases of US troops. According to statistics, the current US government has approved 10 batches of arms sales to Taiwan in four years, with a total price exceeding 18 billion US dollars, far exceeding the total amount of the government in eight years. You know, at a time when the mainland firmly holds the leading power and initiative in cross-strait relations, the more junk Democratic Progressive Party buys, the less life safety of Taiwan soldiers will be guaranteed. The old equipment in the United States is more like a reminder of the Taiwan military than an amulet.

  The Taiwan Air Force and the sea patrol continued to conduct large-scale search and rescue, and nine audio signals have been detected so far.

  Of course, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities who are bent on seeking "independence" simply don’t care about the life and death of the Taiwan military. They constantly provoke and escalate their words and deeds to seek "independence", openly clamoring that the US arms sales to Taiwan "can reach the mainland coast", in an attempt to further raise the tension between the two sides of the strait and forcibly bind the Taiwan military to the "Taiwan independence" chariot. However, the reality is that the disparity in military strength between the two sides of the strait, the normalization of cruises around the island by military warships of the People’s Liberation Army, and live-fire exercises in the Taiwan Strait all put the Taiwan military under unprecedented pressure. According to Taiwan media statistics, before the F-16 lost contact, there had been many major accidents in the Taiwan military this year, resulting in the death of 15 officers and men, which was an out-and-out "super disaster year". In the face of the counter-deterrence of the People’s Liberation Army, the Taiwan military has been tired of coping with it and accidents have continued. If the two sides of the strait really meet each other, what can those American-style equipment like patchwork be used for? Does the Taiwan military really want to act as cannon fodder for "Taiwan independence"?

  For the sake of one party’s selfish interests, the Democratic Progressive Party authorities constantly incited cross-strait hostility and tried their best to cooperate with the United States to turn Taiwan Province into a so-called "fighting porcupine". In fact, they pushed the Taiwan military to the forefront of cross-strait conflicts and showed extreme disregard for the lives of Taiwan soldiers. As we all know, once the war breaks out, the scrap metal that these Taiwan authorities bought from the United States at a high price is useless at all. Just as the spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense issued a solemn warning to the "Taiwan independence" separatists, there is no way out to engage in confrontation, and it is even more a dead end to seek "independence" by force. Taiwan soldiers should be awake. (According to the Voice of China of the Central Radio and Television General Station)
