Taiwan Province paparazzi reveals the entertainment circle: when paparazzi have thick skin and good heart.

Original title: Taiwan Province paparazzi reveals the entertainment circle: when the paparazzi skin is thick enough, the heart should be good enough.

"If you want to be a paparazzi, the skin on your body should be thick enough and the skin on your face should be thick enough!" Taiwan Province’s "famous mouth" Xu Shengmei claimed to be "the first paparazzi in Taiwan Province", and once photographed Jerry Yan, Zhang Ziyi and other big stars. In her view, relying on selling the privacy of stars in exchange for money, wandering in the border between law and morality, although paparazzi can always bring readers the first news, but this job is really not done by people.

Today, we will experience the "inhuman life" of paparazzi through the personal experience of Xu Shengmei and Taiwan Province host Ricky.

The skin should be thick enough

An actress asked the underworld to beat the paparazzi.

"The paparazzi in Taiwan Province can be regarded as a’ high-risk industry’, because you should be careful to be beaten every minute." Ricky, the host of Taiwan Province, broke the news that when the actress S, who played Taiwan Province’s hit drama "The Bad Wife", just made her debut, she had a good relationship with a paparazzi in Next Weekly, and a lot of news came from Next Weekly.

Later, Actress S gradually became popular. The paparazzi began to report the news of a female artist in the same company, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Actress S. Finally, the actress even wanted to invite the "underworld" she knew to beat the paparazzi. Fortunately, the paparazzi knew it in advance, but she broke up with the paparazzi and Next Weekly.

Good acting, paparazzi playing pregnant women as "undercover"

In addition, if you want to be a paparazzi, you should not only wait for a long time, but also try your best to get close to the stars, and sometimes you must have superb acting skills. A few years ago, in order to conceal her pregnancy, Taiwan Province actress Ji Qin hired two VIP delivery rooms in the hospital, asked nurses to sign confidentiality clauses, and used anti-pinhole devices to check the whole floor to keep her daughter from being exposed. But unexpectedly, the paparazzi in Taiwan Province went even further, sending pregnant women as "undercover" and specifying that they would live next door to Ji Qin.

Ji Qin’s agent said, "It’s really an exaggeration. A pregnant woman suddenly moved into this hospital, but she hasn’t given birth yet. The reason for staying in the hospital is that everyone at home has a cold, so she stayed in the hospital for a few days to avoid being infected and treated the hospital as a hotel. After the news came out, Wang Renfu and Ji Qin asked the hospital to change rooms for the pregnant woman on the grounds of safety. "

In good health, paparazzi carry water pipes just to shoot Zhang Ziyi

And Xu Shengmei’s colleague once played a plumber for Zhang Ziyi. Xu Shengmei told the reporter that Zhang Ziyi was filming "House of Flying Daggers" at that time, and the crew wrapped her tightly, and some modeling and shooting conditions were not allowed to be leaked. This colleague of hers pretended to be a plumber and tied a bunch of water pipes on his shoulder in order to hide his camera in them. It was snowing heavily that day, and he walked all the way into the set, and no one stopped him. He walked along the built shelf to the roof of the studio and climbed the roof beam, hanging upside down like a martial arts novel with a camera. The crew thought that he was repairing a water pipe, and Zhang Ziyi was filming a very important scene in House of Flying Daggers, that is, jumping up and encouraging, and he successfully photographed Zhang Ziyi from the roof.

Concluding remarks

The joys and sorrows of ordinary people become real privacy when they are put on stars. In fact, all stars have their own A-side and B-side. If it weren’t for paparazzi, where could we have a glimpse? With this, I also want to praise the paparazzi! (Straits reporter Xu Qiaona Lin Jingxian Intern Chen Zui)

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]

Tips for fastening sucker hooks

1. Put some water in the sucker, and then quickly stick the sucker to a flat surface (this seems to be known to everyone).

2. Apply some soapy water to the suction cup, and then stick it on a flat surface, and the effect is also good.

3. Evenly smear some egg white liquid in the sucker, then stick it on a flat surface, and hang heavy objects after it is completely dry, which is very firm..[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]

Safeguarding people’s livelihood and promoting development; Completion and delivery of key projects in many places in China.

CCTV News:Recently, a number of key projects in many places in China have been completed and delivered or welcomed important nodes to promote economic construction and people’s livelihood development.

The residential area of Beijing Dongao Village has been fully completed and put into use.

A few days ago, the residential area of Beijing Winter Olympic Village was fully completed and delivered to the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee for use. During the Games, the residential area will provide accommodation, catering, medical care and other security services for athletes and team officials from all countries. After the competition, Dongao Village will be transformed into a talented public rental house.

Qu Chen, Project Manager of Beijing Winter Olympic Village:We pay more attention to the influence of architecture on people. You will see that all the lamps are not the traditional big ceiling lamps, or a particularly large chandelier, which both diffuses light and wastes, and at the same time makes people feel uncomfortable. There is no such main light in the bedroom, but all are wall lights.

Xiong’an new area’s first high-standard sports park put into use.

In xiong’an new area, a newly-built sports park was put into use, which is also the first high-standard sports park in xiong’an new area, providing a public place for local people to relax and exercise.

Xiong’an new area citizen Mr. Sun:The new sports park is quite good, with a runway, a basketball court and a football field, and the football field is an 11-player full-size football field.

Qingdao, Shandong: The first boring machine tunnel of Metro Line 4 runs through two lines.

Recently, Metro Line 4, which runs through the east-west direction of the main city of Qingdao, Shandong Province, ushered in key construction nodes, and the first double-line tunnel constructed by roadheader was connected. The project adopts two new TBM boring machines independently developed by China, and cooperates with automatic measuring robots. At an ultra-close distance of less than 2 meters, the project safely passes through the subway line 3 in operation, and the surface subsidence is almost zero. It has solved many world-class engineering problems in the construction of boring machines in coastal areas, and accumulated successful experience for the scientific research and construction of underground projects in coastal cities in China under special environmental conditions.

Zhu Ming, General Manager of Qingdao Metro Group Construction Branch:The settlement under the existing line is controlled within 1 mm, and the double-track connection is realized in advance, which creates favorable conditions for the next track laying.

Kenyan experts refute Xinjiang-related slander: the United States is once again fighting for geopolitical influence

  Overseas Network March 30thAccording to WeChat WeChat official account of the Chinese Embassy in Kenya, on March 27th, Kenya’s Star published a commentary by Ken Ndegewa, an expert on media relations, refuting the smear and slander about China’s policy concerning Xinjiang, arguing that this is another black hand of the United States for geopolitical influence, but a lie is a lie after all, and the truth will always prevail over a lie.

  The article indicates that the United States and other western countries have recently fabricated lies about Xinjiang, China for ulterior motives, or absurdly accused China of "genocide" against the Uighurs in Xinjiang, or fabricated the existence of forced labor on cotton farms in Xinjiang. Behind the lies is actually an attempt by the United States to discredit China and destroy China. After former US President Trump’s trade war with China suffered a fiasco, Xinjiang became the "last straw" of the US game against China. Biden, the current president of the United States, recently threw out that "China will not become the most powerful country in the world during his term of office", further exposing the true intention of the United States.

  The article lists the development data of Xinjiang in economy, population, education and other aspects one by one, and quotes the statements made by State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi of China, Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations Dai Bing and the recent press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China on Xinjiang-related issues, pointing out that 64 countries have issued a joint statement at the UN Human Rights Council to support China’s position on Xinjiang-related issues, but western countries are obviously unwilling to accept first-hand information about Xinjiang facts and are more willing to believe false reports. Their real purpose is to create problems in Xinjiang and undermine China’s economic development and stability.

Female white-collar workers organized a group to celebrate the New Year in Lhasa to avoid urging marriage: it was like escaping from a cage.

This Spring Festival in 2018, Liu Mingzhu, who usually works in Beijing, did not return to his hometown, but spent it in Lhasa. She was not with her family, but with two female friends of the same age, and nine donkey friends contacted on the Internet.

On the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, Liu Mingzhu and his party arrived in Lhasa at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters by 38-hour train. The sunshine in Lhasa at 6 o’clock in the afternoon was still strong, and the excitement of the three people even made them forget the dizziness caused by altitude sickness. When they saw the mountains opposite the railway station, they whispered "Lhasa, I am coming".

For 28-year-old Liu Mingzhu, arriving in Lhasa is like escaping from a cage. The pressure of urging marriage makes it difficult for her to return home. Now, after the New Year, Liu Mingzhu has returned to Beijing, and life remains the same.

Leave home for the New Year to avoid the pressure of urging marriage.

In December 2017, Liu Mingzhu’s sister-in-law gave birth to a baby, and she returned to her hometown in Henan from Beijing. On the second day after the banquet, my parents quarreled at the dinner table. The focus of their argument was why she didn’t have a boyfriend at the age of 28.

Liu Mingzhu’s younger brother and sister almost all got married just after the legal age, and both got married by blind date when they returned home during the Spring Festival. Now that my brother and sister have children, the focus of the family naturally falls on the "older sister".

Liu Mingzhu’s previous growth process once met all the expectations of rural parents for their children: excellent academic performance, admission to prestigious schools, graduate studies, and staying in Beijing after graduation. But now, Liu Mingzhu is out of the expectation of her parents at this stage of marriage.

Although Liu Mingzhu only lived in his hometown for a few days at the end of last year, his parents took separate actions. Liu’s father dug out the paper phone book and called his friends one by one, asking them to worry about their daughter’s marriage with shyness and embarrassment. Liu’s mother went to her neighbor’s house, pretending to ask others casually if there were any young men of the right age who could be introduced to her daughter.

The parents’ performance doubled the pressure on Liu Mingzhu. When she told her friends about her experience of being forced to get married at home, she received the same feedback. "It turns out that this happened not only to me." Liu Mingzhu said. Thinking of the upcoming Spring Festival, I may face a lot of embarrassment after returning home. Several friends who were urged to get married hit it off and decided to go to Lhasa for the New Year in order to escape the marriage.

Elders often arrange blind dates during the Spring Festival.

Liu Mingzhu’s two friends are sisters. Sister Xu Lan is 29 years old and sister Qing Xu is 28 years old. They also suffered from their parents’ urging to get married.

The two sisters’ plan to go to Lhasa during the Spring Festival was opposed by their parents. Two days before the departure, the family started a cold war for this, but the two sisters did not compromise. "This is a trip that goes away." Xu Lan works in her hometown and gets along with her parents every day. In her opinion, the Spring Festival is not a reason to be with her family.

In the hometown of the Xu sisters, during the Spring Festival, there is a fixed meeting place in the town. In a few days near the end of the year, interested parents will take their children there for blind date. In order to avoid embarrassment, many people bought and sold things at the rally in those days, taking the opportunity to chat with others about their family background, work, personality, etc., and then entrusted the matchmaker to act as matchmaker.

In order to avoid blind date, Xu Lan tried to avoid it by various excuses, while her parents always attributed her refusal to "too high a vision". Once, my father was drunk and talked to her. He earnestly advised her to lower her eyes and asked her daughter to "evaluate her own conditions".

Despite her elder sister’s support, Qing Xu, who is currently working as an intern in Beijing, is constantly told by her parents that she wants to find a boyfriend to get married early. Regarding the criteria for choosing a spouse, the two sisters and their families have had numerous disputes. Their parents said that they could not see the situation clearly and they were distressed that their parents did not understand themselves. "I still have time and energy to fight with my family. I don’t want to go against my own ideas." Xu Lan didn’t disclose her specific thoughts. She felt that age was not a weapon for her to compromise.

Everest base camp meets a couple to propose marriage

In addition to Liu Mingzhu and his party, there are nine other donkey friends on this trip to Tibet. They joined the team through a post posted by Liu Mingzhu, and all 12 of them were single young men and women.

Yang Peng is the only child in his family. Born in 1991, he has no girlfriend. Parents have helped him find several girls at home, just waiting for him to have a blind date during the Spring Festival holiday. Yang Peng struggled for a long time before leaving, and finally made up his mind to escape from home and choose to travel for the New Year.

On the day of departure on February 18th, Liu Mingzhu finally chose to stay in Lhasa because of the serious rebellion. In the WeChat group they formed, teammates kept sending her beautiful scenery on the road, but her high reaction has not been completely eliminated. Although it is regrettable, her heart is insufficient. "I really wanted to go to a higher place, but after the driver knew the situation, I was not allowed to get on the bus first, and then I just sat on it, but the driver drove the car directly to the hospital and let me get off there."

On February 20, teammates arrived at Everest base camp. During the break, these single men and women who want to escape the urge to marry saw an unexpected scene: the boy took out his ring and knelt down to propose to the girl. Qing Xu captured a complete video and sent it to Liu Mingzhu, where the onlookers cheered.

After watching the video, Liu Mingzhu returned a message to his teammates: "I didn’t expect that even if I walked to the roof of the world, I couldn’t escape the crit of dog food."

On February 21st, a group of people who ended the tour around Mount Everest shared anecdotes on the road in the group. Some people asked whether they should continue to leave during the Spring Festival next year, and many people raised their hands to respond. To Liu Mingzhu’s surprise, several pairs of people on this train became lovers. "Everyone seems to believe that they will get a chance to find the other half when they come here. Many people start to know each other’s situation on the station wagon, especially when some girls have altitude sickness. At this time, interested boys will take care of them wholeheartedly."

Recently, Liu Mingzhu also returned to Beijing. Although he failed to complete the tourism project as planned, Liu Mingzhu thought that he had figured out many things in Tibet. "I will still stick to my own standards in choosing a boyfriend, but I will also communicate with my family to reassure them."

Do takeaway riders really face the dilemma of "de-skill"?

Johnny Chen

Under the background of the rapid development of platform economy and digital technology, do the new professional groups represented by selling riders face the risk of technical unemployment? This issue of "Investigation and Research" is based on interviews and investigations on the rider’s labor process, and at the same time, it organizes multi-perspective discussions in the industry and academia to explore more topics about the development of intelligent society.

According to the data of "China Sharing Economy Development Report 2021" released by the National Information Center, there will be about 84 million sharing economy service providers in China in 2020, with a year-on-year increase of about 7.7%. The sharing economic service providers here mainly include new employment forms such as take-away riders, online car drivers and couriers. At the beginning of 2023, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions released the results of the ninth national survey on the status of the workforce. The data shows that there are currently 84 million workers in the new employment form in China. The number of take-away riders reached 13 million, accounting for 15% of the total workers in the new employment form. During the COVID-19 epidemic, the number of take-away riders increased sharply. Take Meituan as an example. From 2020 to 2022, the number of riders increased from 4.7 million to 6.24 million, an increase of 32.8%.

The large-scale rise of workers with new employment forms is closely related to the prosperity and development of platform economy. The rapid development of platform economy is inseparable from the rapid progress of artificial intelligence technology. As the core driving force of the fourth industrial revolution, artificial intelligence technology is setting off a global wave of science and technology, which not only becomes the strategic commanding height of scientific and technological competition between countries, but also profoundly changes all aspects of human social production and daily life. However, the wide application of artificial intelligence technology in the platform economy not only promotes the production progress and the convenience of life, but also causes people’s worries about the "skills removal" and "technical unemployment" caused by technological progress.

In July 2021, Meituan revealed at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference that unmanned delivery vehicles will develop into large-scale applications in 3-5 years. UAV service is also expected to appear in more cities within 3-5 years. The rapid development of unmanned distribution inevitably makes people worry about "de-skilling" and being replaced. However, the relevant personnel of the US Mission also said that unmanned distribution and non-contact economy are an ecological concept. Only scale and normalization can solve the cost problem, and manpower is still needed before all the advantages of innovation and technological iteration appear, so a large number of unemployment is unlikely. This can’t completely eliminate people’s worries about "de-skill" and "technical unemployment" caused by technological progress. In view of the huge scale of take-away riders, automation, digitalization and unmanned are imperative, it is necessary for us to go back to the problem that worries us and re-understand the labor process of "de-skill" and take-away riders.

The Essence of "De-skilling" and Tacit Knowledge in Labor Process

The idea of "de-skilling" originated from American economist harry braverman. In his view, Taylor’s scientific management is to concentrate scattered handicraft knowledge on employers, and then distribute it to workers in the form of detailed instruction books. Braverman described it as "separation of concept and implementation". Therefore, the essence of "de-skill" is the separation of concept and execution, that is, the separation of hand and brain in work.

"De-skilling" means the degeneration of workers. With the mechanization and automation of industrial production process, especially the infinite subdivision of work, workers in specific positions have less and less skills to master, and then become part of the production line instead of a complete person. Workers no longer use their brains at work, but execute orders like parts or tools of machines. As a result, workers become more and more stupid.

Back to the labor process of the takeaway rider. A large number of studies at home and abroad have revealed the trend of artificial intelligence, big data and algorithms in strengthening platform supervision ability, reducing workers’ autonomy and "de-skill". As mentioned above, "de-skill" is essentially the separation of hands and brains at work, and the result is the degradation of workers’ cognitive ability; However, in actual observation, the performance of takeaway riders is not the case. One of the important reasons is that the rider’s "tacit knowledge" in his work is ignored.

"Tacit knowledge" means "we know more than what we can express and formulate". For a long time, the "tacit knowledge" of workers is hard to find, but it plays a huge role. The advantage of "tacit knowledge" is that it comes from a specific situation rather than a general situation, so it can judge the causes of specific problems in the labor process more quickly and directly and find solutions. This characteristic, which originates from a specific situation and is inseparable from human intuition and judgment, makes the rider’s labor process unable to be simplified into "rules, regulations and formulas" according to the requirements of scientific management. The process of using "tacit knowledge" is precisely the process of combining hands and brains. Therefore, food delivery will not make takeaway riders stupid, but will make them "gain certain growth": "It has not only changed the situation in my family, but also changed my life, and also changed my personality, making me a lot more mature and stable, and also become much stronger."

Simply put, the rider’s tacit knowledge in the process of food delivery is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, the brain map, second, the situational experience and third, the communication skills.

The first is the "brain map". Most riders’ distribution route planning recommended by the external selling platform App has experienced a transition from full compliance to independent planning. At the beginning of food delivery, new riders will deliver food in strict accordance with the delivery route recommended by the takeaway platform App because they are unfamiliar with the food delivery process, area and time. But when they are familiar with it, they will deliver food according to the distribution route accumulated in their own minds, because they know how to plan the distribution route faster: "We started to deliver food according to the systematic planning, and after three months of familiarity, we followed the planned route in our brains."

Followed by "situational experience." Riders can make good judgments on specific situations because they repeatedly deal with people and things in the process of delivering food, which enables them to continuously accumulate various typical "situational experiences". This kind of experience, like the "brain map" and the "communication skills" mentioned later, can’t be clearly expressed, but they all play a key role: "We will encounter all kinds of problems in the process of delivering food. For example, if some merchants are slow to deliver food, you can take it from other homes first, or the customers are close. It is ok for me to deliver it to him in a few minutes and then come back to pick up his meals."

Finally, there is "communication skills". Riders need to practice superb communication skills, because one of the skills they use most in the process of food delivery is communication, such as communication with the front desk of merchants, communication with security guards at the entrance of supermarkets and communities, and communication with customers. Good communication can not only improve the efficiency of food delivery, but also get favorable service comments: "Because it is a service industry, it is better to communicate with guests. If you have a bad temper, it is easy to have language disputes with guests … If you don’t communicate well, you will definitely be complained. Communication in our business is more important than food delivery. "

Therefore, from the perspective of using "tacit knowledge" in the process of food delivery, that is, the combination of hand and brain is needed in the work, the delivery of take-away food is not "de-skilled". Good communication with merchants/security guards/customers, human brain planning of distribution routes, and "situational experience" needed in each link of meal taking/delivery all require takeaway riders to use their hands and brains and make good use of the "tacit knowledge" they have accumulated in their work. The cognitive ability of riders has not deteriorated at work, and they have not become "more and more stupid".

The factory that can’t go back and the desire of "complete workers"

During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in 2022, Zhang Xinghai, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of Xiaokang Group, said that in recent years, industries such as take-away, e-commerce and webcasting have attracted a large number of young people to find jobs; Express delivery and take-away industry "involution" to graduate students to compete; Young people are no longer willing to go to work in factories, which leads to the increasingly serious problem of hollowing out industrial workers. Zhang Xinghai suggested that the government, enterprises and all walks of life should make joint efforts to encourage young people to become industrial workers, so as to alleviate the difficulties in recruiting and employing workers in the manufacturing industry. However, the main reason why riders are unwilling to enter the factory and are willing to deliver takeout is that the delivery of takeout is not "unskilled" compared with factory workers, but requires them to use their hands and brains.

While there is a "blowout" of employment on various Internet platforms, the traditional manufacturing industry is indeed experiencing a "labor shortage". Cao Dewang, the founder of Fuyao Group, also expressed his feelings for this: "Nowadays, young people would rather send takeout than go to work in a factory. This is the current dilemma facing the manufacturing industry." In this regard, Professor Wen Xiaoyi of China Institute of Labor Relations pointed out: "In the past, young and middle-aged laborers who were active in factory production lines are constantly moving from offline to online, which has made great changes in China’s economic structure and situation. In the past, going to work in coastal factories was the first choice for countless young people to realize their urban dreams. Nowadays, sending express delivery and take-away in big cities is becoming a career priority. "

For the phenomenon that young people "prefer to take delivery rather than go to work in factories", most studies take the high salary return of the platform economy and the strict management of the manufacturing industry as the main reasons. Indeed, the income return of takeaway riders is no less than that of traditional manufacturing. It is reported that most workers in factories in coastal areas earn 4,000-8,000 yuan a month. In contrast, riders can get 7000-8000 yuan per month, and many people can even exceed 10,000 yuan. More importantly, although it is equally hard, being a takeaway rider is rarely controlled, more free, and can also take time off: "The factory is too strict and has no rest. Except for legal holidays, the state can’t deduct (punish) it, so I will give you a day off. It’s more than 6 thousand yuan a month, which is similar to here. But in comparison, it is free here. "

The "local workers" described by Marx may be the original prototype of "de-skill", that is, "workers who have been engaged in the same simple operation all their lives turn their whole bodies into automatic one-sided organs of this operation". The production line invented by Henry Ford shows more intuitively that modern factories no longer need the "whole body" of workers, but "one-sided organs". The design principle of the assembly line invented by Ford is to "arrange tools and people according to working procedures so as to complete the assembly of spare parts in the shortest possible time". Obviously, people are reduced to tool-like existence on the assembly line. Therefore, the workers on the assembly line will inevitably encounter the problem of hand-brain separation and the cognitive degradation caused by it.

However, Marx also pointed out that "conscious life activities directly distinguish people from animal life activities" when distinguishing people from animals. The difference between people and animals lies in that people can engage in free and conscious conscious activities, and the difference between people and tools lies in that people have valuable cognitive and creative abilities. Therefore, people are more willing to take delivery than those jobs that make people stupid on the assembly line, precisely because people naturally want to use their hands and brains at work. Because of the existence of "tacit knowledge", delivery can make riders feel that they are "complete workers" rather than "one-sided organs" than entering the factory. This may also be the reason why riders feel "freedom" at work.

Although the take-away rider does not really face the dilemma of "de-skill", it is undeniable that the rider engaged in take-away distribution may not have high academic qualifications and high skills. According to the results of the ninth survey on the status of the national workforce released by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the academic qualifications of couriers and take-away distributors are concentrated in high school and below. It is not difficult to find out from the employment report of Meituan riders during the epidemic period released by Meituan that the ranking of riders’ sources from high to low is factory workers, salespeople, entrepreneurs or self-employed small businesses or catering industry employees. Among them, factory workers, salespeople, and catering employees may also be low-skilled workers. How to let more people accumulate "tacit knowledge" in their work, show free and conscious labor and realize the coordinated development of man and machine is the key issue in the era of artificial intelligence.

China Social Sciences Journal, August 24, 2023.

After 60 years of ups and downs, do you know that the glorious red flag car also has a low tide?

The heart of the car is the new media of Aifaner’s car, and we pay attention to the future of new car technology, new culture and intelligent trend.

After the Shanghai Auto Show, the self-owned brand was in full swing, but even if the sales volume was inconclusive and the design concept was difficult to distinguish, the most influential self-owned brand in the hearts of the people of the whole country had already belonged, that is, the red flag.

The history of the Red Flag is almost synchronized with the history of New China. Every beloved national leader and every historical event that shocked the whole world has an inseparable intersection with the Red Flag.

But behind the glory, almost no one knows that the People’s Daily has issued a notice: "Hongqi brand limousine will stop production from June this year because of its high fuel consumption."

However, under the prestigious reputation, few people paid attention to Hongqi until December 2016, when it first achieved monthly sales of thousands, reaching 1,001 vehicles.

Started in Sri Lanka, prospered in Sri Lanka, rose and fell in Sri Lanka, and wanted to revive in Sri Lanka.

In that era of concentrated efforts to do great things, many great projects could not be separated from the will of the supreme leader.

Three months after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Chairman Mao visited the Soviet Union, and the Soviet side decided to build a truck factory in China, which is the predecessor of the first automobile factory-now FAW. In 1953, the foundation stone was laid for the construction of FAW Plant, which was completed and put into operation in 1956, and the first car of new China, Jiefang brand truck, was built, which shocked the world.

In April, 1956, Chairman Mao mentioned at the meeting on "Ten Major Relationships" in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee: "It would be nice if we could sit in a car made by ourselves for the meeting!"

In April, 1957, Huang Jing, Minister of the First Ministry of Machinery Industry, went to FAW for investigation, and formally put forward a request for trial production of cars to FAW. The starting policy is "imitation first, independent design", and said "which car do you like, I will be responsible for your deployment".

At that time, a few domestic models of the same class, such as the victory of the Soviet Union, Renault of France, Skoda 440 of Czech Republic, Mercedes-Benz 190 of Germany, Zepher of Ford of the United States, Vedette of simca of France, Toyota of Japan, were assembled in the factory building of FAW.

The Prototype of Dongfeng Car —— Vedette, simca

After selecting the best from the best, FAW thinks that the shape of simca Vedette is more in line with the aesthetics of Chinese people, while the mechanical performance of Mercedes-Benz 190 is better. For these two models, reverse engineering is carried out to study the core technologies.

In appearance, it is designed by itself. A golden dragon is arranged in the front of the car, which represents the soaring of the Chinese nation. The taillights are modeled by traditional palace lanterns, and the gearbox is also designed by itself.

More than half a year’s technical research and modeling design are omitted. On February 13, 1958, President Mao Zedong visited FAW and asked again, "When can I get on my own car?"

Chairman Mao inspected FAW

FAW didn’t keep Chairman Mao waiting too long. The grand labor occasion in April 1958 was called "the east wind of the whole factory" by later generations. Almost all FAW people devoted themselves to the formal production of the first car in China day and night, and it took less than a month. At 5: 30 am on May 12 of the same year, the first car made in China was completed.

The first "DONG FENG" has been made, so pay attention to the Chinese pinyin of "Dong Feng".

The reason why the word "off-line" is not used is because the whole vehicle is completely knocked out by hand. The car was immediately sent to Beijing, and everywhere it went was full of joy. Reading this history still makes people feel excited.

There is also an episode here. Originally, the Chinese pinyin of "DONG FENG" was placed on the front of the car. Yang Shangkun, then director of the General Office of the Central Committee, said, "I thought it was a foreign car if I didn’t understand it."

Faw comrades felt very reasonable, and changed the front of the car to the word "Dongfeng" overnight. This comrade who took the lead in changing words was Li Lanqing who would become The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) in the future.

As for why it was called the east wind, it was because of an important situation analysis of Chairman Mao at that time: either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind. I think the current situation is characterized by the east wind overwhelming the west wind, that is to say, the forces of socialism have an overwhelming advantage over the forces of imperialism.

?Chairman Mao tried to ride the first domestic car, and noticed that the front sign had been changed to the Chinese character "Dongfeng".

On May 21, Chairman Mao happily tried this "Dongfeng". After running twice, Chairman Mao said happily, "I took the car made by ourselves!"

After the prototype returned to the factory, the whole factory was excited, and they all planned to work hard. But at this time, it was reported that Beijing Automobile Factory was going to make a limousine as a gift for the 10th anniversary of the National Day. FAW people felt that as the eldest son of the Republic, the first limousine should have come from FAW.

"Dongfeng" model, interested friends can see the real car in Beijing Automobile Museum.

So "take the east wind and display the red flag, and Bayi took out the limousine to see Chairman Mao!" The banner was hung in the factory, people’s passion was ignited again, and the new limousine was named "Red Flag".

Pay attention to the banner hanging at the back of FAW Factory when starting the Red Flag Project.

Deciding to make a red flag will cost a lot. Because of the resources, personnel and ability, especially the ability of spare parts, the production of red flag will stop the production of Dongfeng cars, and at the same time, it will occupy the production capacity of Jiefang trucks to a certain extent.

In view of the all-round changes in vehicle grades and sizes, Hongqi can no longer learn from the previous small and medium-sized models, and a Chrysler Empire purchased before has become a new reference prototype.

Chrysler Empire, 1956.

In order to see more vehicles, the employees of FAW chatted with the drivers at the entrance of Indonesian Embassy in Beijing, saying that they were going to build cars in China. The drivers were very excited and took the initiative to drive all kinds of imported cars aside for FAW workers to take pictures.

Don’t think that "reverse research" is a contemptible thing. Not only did the automobile industry in all countries go through this step at the beginning, but more importantly, the automobile elites in China conquered a lot of things that the Soviet Union, Europe and Japan failed to do at that time in the development of Red Flag.

For example, the hydraulic tappet of V8 engine, such as hydraulic automatic transmission and other core technologies, have been broken by Chinese automobile workers with wisdom, and are generally world-leading.

Perhaps the numbers can better prove the greatness of the project: the first generation of Red Flag has 4,657 kinds of parts, including 3,488 kinds made in China. FAW added 250 sets of special equipment and 9,629 sets of tooling, and more than 20,000 employees enthusiastically devoted themselves to selfless work.

According to the initial estimate of working hours, the research and development of the first generation of Hongqi will take three years. After the project was established in April 1959, FAW took out the first prototype on August 1, and officially completed the project in September, and the level of the whole vehicle was extremely high, which is a miracle.

The design concept of this prototype is still highly artistic. The front grille uses the traditional folding fan shape, and the turn signal decorative plates in plum blossom window format are matched with both sides. The bumper anti-collision cone adopts the cloud head shape that is common in ancient buildings. Of course, the five red flags symbolizing "workers, peasants, businessmen and soldiers" on the engine compartment cover are the key.

The production of the first red flag is completed.

Perhaps many commercial history will be touched by the word "successful development", but it is hard to imagine the efforts made by FAW people in overcoming the technical barrier. According to the memories of the witnesses, even at the celebration of the first generation of Red Flag, the problems such as transmission oil leakage and starter tooth punching have not been solved, and they were all completed in the process of opening and repairing.

荣耀终将属于红旗,1959 年 9 月起,一汽完成了 36 部红旗车,送到北京向建国 10 周年献礼,一时“北京尽是红旗车”,9 月 29 日,中央领导们参观了红旗车,表示非常振奋。

1959 年国庆,红旗在天安门广场献礼

如果仔细看这时的红旗车的话,你会发现他和你印象中的红旗并不完全一致,这时因为此时的型号为 CA72,C 代表中国,A 代表汽车,7 代表轿车,2 代表第二款(东风为 CA71),总共生产了 206 辆。

1960 年,红旗 CA72 参加了莱比锡国际博览会和日内瓦展览会,让中国汽车业一举成名,随后被编入《世界汽车年鉴》,中国红旗成为一个现象。

红旗飘扬的序章就此开始。

这一篇章,全部属于“大红旗”。

几年的使用中,CA72 过重、过高的问题逐渐显现出来,同时因为中苏关系交恶,毛主席等中央领导乘坐的苏联吉斯 115、110 等三排座车型得不到配件维护,再加上提升国家形象的目的,国家要求一汽展开新一代三排座红旗的研发。

Soviet gith 115 bulletproof vehicle

The purpose of the third row is, on the one hand, to facilitate the travel of the leaders, interpreters, secretaries and other accompanying personnel, and on the other hand, to set a glass wall behind the driver to meet the privacy needs of foreign guests when they visit.

This generation of red flag, the first time to adopt forward research and development, is completely up to the top level in the world in terms of chassis structure, engine design and appearance. FAW bought a Rolls Royce from Hong Kong for reference.

There is also an interesting story. As the foreign minister, Mr. Chen Yi owns a Mercedes-Benz 600, which is regarded as a treasure. As a result, because all Beijing knows that it is Chen Yi’s car, once he accompanied foreign guests to eat Quanjude at the front door, enthusiastic people saw the car and wanted to see Chen Yi. Mr. Chen was able to get away from it through the back door, and then donated the car to FAW.

Boss Chen Yi’s Mercedes 600 Pullman

The new big red flag code CA770 is also used in the research and development of this generation of cars, including design scheme competition, wind tunnel testing, modeling sludge and other technologies that are needed when designing cars now.

In order to improve the quality and safety of the vehicle, many parts have adopted double backup. For example, the braking system of the whole vehicle is double pipeline, double booster and double cylinder. Even if one set fails, all four wheels still have brakes.

In September 1965, the first CA770 was produced, and it took only seven months for FAW to get the approval from the central government and start batch delivery. In April 1966, 20 CA770 s were delivered to the central government and became the leading cars.

During the whole life cycle, CA770 has produced 1510 sets, which is the most produced one in the Dahongqi series.

Of course, in the production process, FAW was not idle. In October 1965, FAW received an unfinished task: producing bulletproof insurance cars.

The design requirements are very clear. The shape must be consistent with that of CA770 to ensure that the whereabouts of the central leaders are not exposed. The whole vehicle must be able to withstand the explosion of machine guns and mines and continue driving. The speed must exceed 100km/h, and it can climb a 13-degree slope without shifting gears.

The armor and glass parts of the whole vehicle are provided by the military, and FAW is responsible for the design of the car body. When the protective equipment arrives, it is found that the whole vehicle weighs 5.5 tons. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that it can rush up the slope without shifting gears. The original 220 horsepower engine is definitely not enough.

At that time, the engine designer of FAW, unable to get foreign technical assistance and the traditional teaching knowledge was no longer feasible, invented a method to improve the horsepower by himself, and lifted the V8 engine to 300 horsepower in one fell swoop, which was a great relief.

This type of bullet-proof insurance car was finally finalized as CA772. The first car was supposed to be presented to Chairman Mao, but it was given to Lin Biao for a trial ride for fear of quality problems. With the gradual improvement, the sixth car was given to Premier Zhou.

On September 13, 1972, Chairman Mao finally got on the No.7 car of CA772. It took 16 years from Chairman Mao’s call to build a car to sitting on the domestic red flag for a long time.

In the same year, US President Nixon visited China. As an advance team, US Secretary of Defense Haig asked for an armored car to be airlifted. Premier Zhou said, "No need, China has its own armored car." So since landing in Shanghai, Nixon’s car has become a CA772, and there have been many international reports.

When Nixon visited China, he visited the Forbidden City and paid attention to the spectacular red flag motorcade behind him.

From then on, seeing Chairman Mao, living in Diaoyutai and riding a red-flag bus have become the three most coveted treatments for foreign politicians to come to China.

The data of CA772 has not been completely decrypted so far, and there are still four left in Zhongnanhai.

Why did the number jump directly from CA770 to CA772? This is because as the name of the red flag is getting louder and louder, leaders at all levels in the country hope to get on domestic cars, so FAW has successively developed the CA771 which has been shortened to two rows and the CA773 which is still three rows but has removed many luxurious configurations.

CA773, short three rows of seats

Looking at the red flag map of this time, you will be impressed by the arrangement and combination of vehicle configuration and the speed of designing and building cars.

It is cold in winter in Beijing, and the heads of state at home and abroad will be blown by the cold wind if they stand behind the car, so the review car CA770J with a high glass behind the driver was developed.

Nixon needed an ambulance for his visit to China. Considering that the traditional ambulance was too obvious and unlucky, he developed a red flag ambulance almost the same as CA 770.

Later, the ambulance was widely praised, and the CA770W station wagon ambulance was distributed to the Union Medical College Hospital.

In order to test the non-loaded body and new chassis technology, CA774 test vehicle was developed.

CA774

The "No.1 Engineering Vehicle" developed in 1977 was specially designed to complete the task of transporting the hearse in Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, and it has technological innovations in privacy and temperature control.

The big red flag of CA770 generation, like the standard photo of the red flag family, has become the deepest image memory of several generations of China people for the red flag. For the post-80s and 90s generation, the journey of the classic red flag was missed before they were born.

To say that the most unfortunate thing in the world is that the red flag has experienced ten years of turmoil.

After several tossing, the technical iteration of China’s automobile industry can no longer keep pace with foreign countries. After the door of the market was opened, everyone found that there were so many kinds of imported cars, so advanced in technology and so cheap at the same time.

In 1980, CA770 was discontinued. In 1981, the scene where this article started appeared: On May 14th, People’s Daily published the instructions of the State Council to save electricity and fuel. Among them, there are 23 words "Hongqi brand limousine stopped production from June this year due to high fuel consumption".

It is worth mentioning that many people don’t know that Hongqi has also done a "sideline" during this period, and began to launch a series of coaches. The two coaches, CA630 and CA640, have been well received by various units and become a good ride platform with both grade and quality at that time.

?CA630

The 19-seat layout, individually adjustable seats, solid wood decoration and air conditioning make this car the first choice for enterprises and institutions to travel.

CA640

On the basis of these two cars, public security, environmental protection, photoelectricity, fire fighting and other units have developed the corresponding broadcast vehicles and command vehicles. However, it is puzzling why this car didn’t last, so that it is now robbed by Kauste.

The total output of 1166 vehicles was very successful under the red flag brand in that era.

In 1984, the Hongqi sedan, which had been discontinued for three years, was given the task of designing a parade vehicle for Deng Xiaoping, Chairman of the Central Military Commission, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the National Day. This opportunity, let FAW people focus their thoughts and creativity on generate because of the suspension of production of the red flag.

Under the trend at that time, the inspection car can not only change the ceiling into a convertible, on the one hand, it needs to add a set of hydraulic lifting equipment to make the inspectors more majestic. On the other hand, the foldable soft top must have a certain bulletproof effect and can be completely stored in the car body during the inspection.

From materials, structure to power, FAW people have achieved more than 100 technological innovations, and finally left the most shocking military parade mark in the history of the Republic.

Taking this as an opportunity, FAW people also called on Hongqi to resume production on many occasions, and the final conclusion was yes, but it should refer to international advanced products.

Thus, in 1985, Hongqi successively produced the CA750 two-row prototype and CA 760 three-row prototype, which were based on the technology of Nissan in Japan at that time. It can be said that the starting point of the hybridization between Hongqi and various brands was here. In 1987, hongqi trial-produced CA770D, which was also not finalized.

From left to right, there are CA750, CA760 and CA770. Even the red flag official website has only released three blurred pictures.

Then, something happened in the history of China’s automobile that deserves a great book and even laid the brand structure of China’s automobile market in the next few decades.

In 1984, FAW bought an American Chrysler 488 engine production line, which was mainly used for trucks, and later found that it could also be used in cars, so FAW proposed to Chrysler to buy another Dodge 600 vehicle production line.

Dodge 600, if it had been bought in those years, the whole history of Chinese automobile would have to be rewritten.

As a result, Iacocca, then president of Chrysler, saw the opportunity, and the asking price of $18 million was not negotiable. For a production line that was close to elimination, it was a lion’s mouth.

No way, FAW tried to introduce Toyota’s technology. It is said that the Japanese side was worried that the growth of China’s automobile industry would affect the sales of Japanese brands, and it also refused.

Until 1987, Dr. Hahn, the head of German Volkswagen, visited China. After hearing the news, he immediately said that he could use the body of Audi 100 to help FAW adapt to Chrysler’s engine.

Everyone is familiar with the Audi 100.

This decision directly contributed to Audi becoming the mainstream of official cars in China, and also contributed to Volkswagen becoming the first brand of joint venture in China. The regretful Chrysler reduced the production line of Dodge 600 to $1, but so far it has failed to gain a foothold in the China market.

Speaking of red flags. This product, which is a hybrid of American engine and German body, can no longer bear the name of Audi. For the sake of brand positioning and sales promotion, FAW decided to launch the "Red Flag" brand.

In August, 1991, this car finally rolled off the production line, with the finalize the design number of CA 7220, known as Little Red Flag. By the end of 1997, this car had sold nearly 28,000 vehicles, achieving a profit of 6.6 billion yuan, becoming the most profitable model of Hongqi since its establishment.

Of course, from the beginning of this car, Hongqi started the face-lifting sales model with almost no change, which attracted much more criticism than the positive impact of economic profit.

In 1998, with the 50th anniversary of the National Day approaching in anniversary, Hongqi produced CA7460 on the basis of Lincoln City in the United States. It was named "Hongqi Flagship" without any change in appearance and interior, and its price reached a staggering 680,000 yuan. The market performance was extremely bleak.

In 1999, Red Flag launched a three-row red flag flagship, which was also a simple extension of the Lincoln model. The price was close to one million, which was worrying for a while. Is it that our leaders will parade on such a red flag on National Day?

As a result, General Secretary Jiang Zemin completed the National Day military parade on the revision of the old red flag review car in 1984. When people miss the grandeur of the old red flag, they also lament the status quo of the red flag.

From 2000 to 2005, the red flag was modeled after Audi 200.

In 2005, Hongqi launched the HQ3 model, which looks exactly like the Toyota Crown.

Seeing that the 60th anniversary of the National Day in 2009 is coming again, should we expect the old red flag of the 1970s to reappear this time?

Finally, at the Shanghai Auto Show in 2005, FAW unveiled the concept car of Hongqi HQE, which is the first self-developed top-class V12 car in China. The all-aluminum body and all-hand-made car have quite the boldness of the old red flag, and the traditional signs of the old red flag car, such as the forward-leaning red flag, the tubular fender, the round headlights and the eyelash air inlet, have also been preserved.

However, it is questioned that the line trend of the front face of the vehicle still can’t completely get rid of the figure of Rolls-Royce. Under the continuous pressure of public opinion, we saw that the body of HQE was grafted with the traditional round lamp of the old red flag in the National Day military parade in 2009, which truly realized the perfect unity of classics and technology for General Secretary Hu Jintao’s military parade car.

When the military parade made the people of China proud, this car was also well received, and it became the comprehensive expectation of the society to build a top-class car in China.

At the Beijing Auto Show in 2012, Hongqi came up with a real mass production plan. On the basis of the style of HQE parade car, it was shaped as Hongqi L9, with a price of more than RMB 3 million, which was a sensation.

In 2016, FAW announced the establishment of Hongqi Division. After solo flight, Hongqi played a high-end image similar to that of Rolls-Royce to BMW and Audi to Volkswagen, trying to seize the top of China automobile market with decades of glory.

According to the official statement of Hongqi, during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, Hongqi products will cover cars, SUVs and high-end commercial vehicles, and continue to deepen various market segments. By 2020, many models of Hongqi brand will be put into the private market, including 4 luxury SUVs, 2 luxury cars, 1 pure electric vehicle and 1 high-end commercial vehicle, and the coverage of the private market will reach 85%, which will fully meet the individual needs of various consumers for Hongqi brand products.

At this year’s Shanghai Auto Show, Hongqi produced a series of concept cars, which is a direct declaration of this vision.

On the image, no domestic brand can surpass a single field like the red flag and become the embodiment of the country name.

On the history, no domestic brand can run through the whole tide of reform like a red flag and become an open miss of the public.

Hongqi, after the initial ideal of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and the pragmatic compromise of reform and opening up, can it be exhibited again before the wonderful opportunity of reviving its own brand in this new era?

After being swallowed by natural enemies, this animal can retrograde in its stomach! It’s too bad

What will happen if an animal is swallowed raw?
The seal said that this question is not funny.
In late September, in the waters near Ana cortese, Washington, a whale-watching naturalist took an unusual photo: a humpback whale was swallowing fish, and a bewildered seal was mixed in its mouth.

picture

Fortunately, seals are not a big problem, because whales can’t swallow a seal. Large whales like humpback whales, despite their huge mouths, can "eat".(lunge feeding)Intake a lot of small fish and water at one time,But their throats are only the size of grapefruit, which is far from enough to swallow prey much bigger than small fish.
The reason for being swallowed by mistake is very simple. When whales open their mouths to prey on small fish or krill, seals often feed in the same water area. If the seals get too close at this time, they may be caught in the whale’s mouth by mistake. As a result, because the whales can’t swallow, they can only spit out the seals from their mouths by repeatedly opening and closing their mouths.
The fate of seals is good. Those who are really swallowed want to live, so they have to find another way out, such as being bitten by Odontobutis.(Odontobutis potamophila)Swallowed Japanese eel(Anguilla japonica).

The "Meeting" between Odontobutis sinensis and Anguilla japonica

Japanese eels have a complex life cycle, their eggs hatch in the ocean, and their larvae are called willow eels.(leptocephali)The shape is slender and almost transparent. These larvae drift westward through the northern equatorial current, and then reach the coastal areas of East Asia by the Kuroshio current. This process lasts about 110 to 160 days, and then the larvae will become glass eels.(glass eels), gradually into the estuary and fresh water.

When the glass eel enters the river, it will stay in fresh water for 5 to 10 years. When it enters the yellow eel stage, it gradually grows and adapts to different habitats, mainly feeding on shrimp, insects and small fish. With the change of river environment, eels will migrate to different areas, such as estuaries, lakes or the upper reaches of rivers; When eels mature, they will begin to migrate to the deep Pacific Ocean in autumn to complete the breeding task.

Eels enter the ocean in the larval stage (glass eel and yellow eel stage). During this long journey, they will face survival challenges brought by various predators. One of them is Odontobutis sinensis, an East Asian freshwater fish.The prey is swallowed into the stomach together with the surrounding water mainly by fast sucking, which is especially effective for smaller organisms (such as Japanese eel larvae).

This seems to be an end moment. For most prey, entering the predator’s stomach means inevitable death. However, this time, the story did not end as expected.

The survival rate of small eels is as high as 69%

In order to observe how small eels escape from the stomach of predators, and how eels can survive tenaciously and try to escape after being swallowed by Odontobutis sinensis, Japanese eel larvae raised in the laboratory were used in the experiment. The average length of these eels was 68.1 6.0 mm (n = 104), and that of Odontobutis sinensis, a predator, was 145.4 15.6 mm (n =
The research team willBarium sulfate injectionThe Japanese eel larvae raised in the laboratory can be clearly captured by X-rays, and then the eel is put into the experimental water tank together with the "predator" Shatangyu, and the story begins.
Under X-ray, scientists found that the swallowed eels did not wait for death. They began to act in reverse, trying to swim back from the predator’s esophagus and looking for an exit. And at this time,Eels show their unique ability to escape: they can pass through the esophagus, put their tails into the gills of predators and gradually withdraw from the gills.

In the experiment, 32 eels were swallowed by predators, among which 13 eels successfully put their tails out of the gills, and 9 eels completed the whole escape process. This process is full of thrills and struggles, like an ultimate life-and-death competition.For those eels that successfully stick their tails out of their gills, their survival rate is as high as 69%.

Scientists marvel at the complexity of this anti-predation strategy. They found that some eels move in a circle along the stomach wall after completely entering the stomach of predators, as if they were looking for potential escape paths everywhere.The secret of escape may lie in the body structure and swallowing order of eels.Snakeheads usually swallow their prey head forward, and eels’ tails are often left near the esophagus, which gives them a chance to escape first.

Figure B: The eel tail has been inserted into the predator’s esophagus, and the X-ray image clearly shows the position of the eel in the predator’s digestive tract. C: The eel tail begins to pass through the gill slits of predators, which is very important. Figure D: The eel pulls its head out of the predator’s gill, which indicates that the escape process is about to be completed. E: Eels swim around the stomach, showing an "exploratory" behavior, looking for possible escape paths. Image source: references[1]

Not only that,The experiment also revealed that eels need to respond as soon as possible in acidic and anoxic stomach environment.Once an eel enters a predator’s stomach, it can only live for about 211.9 seconds on average. Time is running out, and the boundary between life and death can often be decided in a few minutes.

Eels still have to struggle to find a way out, and for "fart bugs", being eaten by toads only needs to fart.

Yefart beetle "spits fire" in the stomach.

Similar to the above experiment (without X-ray), the object of this experiment is the beetle.(Pheropsophus kimaniae)。Once the beetle is swallowed by the toad, it won’t wait for its fate quietly, but it will launch a wonderful self-rescue operation:Yefart beetleIt will release a high-temperature chemical spray, which can not only protect itself, but also make toad feel severe discomfort.

Yeah, it’s a fart. Image source: Wikipedia

With a faint explosion, toad realized that he had made a mistake. In the next few minutes, toad tried to endure the stimulation of his stomach and had to make a shocking choice-vomiting.

The success rate of the "fart bug" escape from life and death is not completely random. The study found that,The bigger the beetle is, the more chemicals it releases, and the higher the chance of escape.For toads, the smaller they are, the lower their chemical tolerance, so they are more likely to spit out beetles.

It can be said that this is a contest between "big" and "small": the little toad can’t bear the chemical counterattack of the beetle, while the big beetle has a greater chance to escape calmly. Finally, if you are eaten, don’t panic, there will always be a way out, provided that you are completely swallowed raw …
