Gorgeous Turn Land Rover Range Rover Series History (First Generation)

On the History of Cars, No.10:From the initial conception, to the ROAD ROVER test drive, and finally to the original RANGE ROVER () as we know it, more than ten years have quietly flown by. By June 1970, this car series, which had a considerable influence in automobile history, finally appeared.Past Review: Click to view the 9th article — — History of Range Rover Cars (Prequel)

To some extent, it has many similarities with the earlier International Scout, Jeep Wagoneer or Bronco. They all provide better road driving performance and more comfortable interior while maintaining most of the off-road capabilities of the contemporary purebred off-road vehicles — — In other words, they are all the earliest SUV models, although no one had heard the word at that time.

But I have to say that they are quite different.

Today’s vast majority of car fans, even today’s vast majority of Land Rover fans or riders, will probably think that the fourth-generation Range Rover, which was officially mass-produced in 2012, is the first model in the history of Range Rover to use a lot of aluminum alloy materials. However, this is not the case. The original Range Rover, which was put into production in 1970, has actually started to use aluminum alloys on a large scale.

△ The fourth generation Range Rover is the first Range Rover that uses a lot of aluminum alloy materials? No, all wet. The one behind her is.

When it comes to the whole Land Rover brand, aluminum alloy has been widely used since its birth. This was largely because it was difficult for ROVER Motor Company to buy enough steel — — In the early postwar period, Britain continued to maintain the rationing system during the war for quite a long time because of insufficient materials. At that time, there was a great gap in steel production in Britain, and because of the war, a large number of aluminum alloys, even magnesium-aluminum alloys, prepared for the aviation industry had a lot of redundancy — — Therefore, the engineers of ROVER used the magnesium-aluminum alloy body that looks extremely tall today on the original model of Land Rover, Land Rover Series I, with a steel chassis.

△ Land Rover has a long tradition of using aluminum alloy. The original Land Rover Series I was already a magnesium-aluminum alloy body with a steel chassis — — Of course, it must be said that the early Land Rover used magnesium-aluminum alloy, which was somewhat helpless.

On the other hand, this last resort has no adverse effect on Land Rover: compared with all kinds of steel that are more common in mass production vehicles, all kinds of aluminum alloys, including magnesium-aluminum alloys, are relatively low in density, so they are lighter in the same volume. At the same time, aluminum alloys are good in plasticity, easy to be processed into various shapes, excellent in strength and stronger in corrosion resistance than ordinary steel. If the supply is abundant and the price is low, aluminum alloy is simply the best choice as the body material of off-road vehicles.

△ The sectional view of the previous model of the original Range Rover, which is made of steel frame with aluminum alloy sheet metal installed outside.

Good plasticity means easy repair, light weight means that the high center of gravity of off-road vehicles can be reduced somewhat, while corrosion resistance and high strength mean more adaptability in the wild. Yes, all these are advantages. However, the premise is that the cost is not too sensational. Land Rover Series I directly uses magnesium-aluminum alloy used in the aviation industry, in fact, more because it is war surplus materials during World War II, and the price is quite low. If it is the usual material supply, the price of magnesium-aluminum alloy for aviation is simply shocking, which will definitely make Land Rover Series I become a complete luxury from such a "returning weapon".

By the time of the first generation of Range Rover, although it was no longer possible to obtain cheap materials such as aluminum-magnesium alloy by using the surplus materials of World War II, Land Rover still maintained its original tradition and used a large number of aluminum alloy materials. On the original Range Rover, except the rear door and engine compartment cover, the whole body sheet metal is made of aluminum alloy.

△ Until the Land Rover Series III in the 1970s, its body was still made entirely of aluminum alloy.

However, unlike the ordinary Land ROVER in the same period, the whole body is basically made of aluminum alloy. Because of its large body size, Range Rover used the "Safety Frame" structure that was previously used on ROVER P6 series cars (which was one of the most acclaimed and best-selling cars in Rover at that time). That is to say, the frame is mainly made of steel, and the aluminum plate is mainly used for sheet metal. Under the technical conditions at that time, this design provided better rigidity and durability, and at the same time, the characteristics of easy repair and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy were maximized.

△ The original Range Rover used the "Safety Frame" structure first used in ROVER P6 car series — — Combining the main structure of steel frame with aluminum alloy sheet metal (the picture shows ROVER 2000, the first mass production model of ROVER P6).

The steel frame of the car body was naturally designed by Range Rover’s team of engineers. In order to carry out the road test, the team of engineers added sheet metal to the trial steel frame to simply protect the occupants and internal mechanical structure of the car, and at the same time, let the trial car meet the requirements of legal road driving in the UK. However, these casual designs were recognized by the designers inside the team, so that the designer team headed by the famous British automobile designer David Bache didn’t make too many changes at all, and only perfected the headlights and front grille on the trial car, which were too simple and unsightly, and completely determined its styling design.

The shape of the original Range Rover is basically no different from that of the early test car. The designer team appreciates this shape very much, only changing the headlights and the front air intake grille.

Obviously, the judgment of the designer team headed by David Bache is completely correct. The shape of the original Range Rover is really neat and classic. Later, the second and third generation Land Rover Range Rover, as well as previous generations of Land Rover, also inherited many design elements of the original Range Rover, and have been well received by fans.

threeFrom gate three to gate five

From gate three to gate five

In the early years, the Land Rover Range Rover only had three doors, namely two side doors and a tailgate facing up and down, although the Range Rover was originally a five-seat car (of course, there are four-seat versions of the Range Rover today to provide maximum comfort for the back seat). The design of the three doors makes it as inconvenient to enter the back seat as to enter those sports cars with 2+2 seats. Moreover, the design of the three doors also makes the two side doors too big and overweight.

At the beginning of mass production, Range Rover only provided three-door models, and the design of the three-door model actually brought some inconvenience to quite a few consumers.

As a result, in order to solve this problem, in the late 1970s, some small car factories began to produce some five-door models based on the original Range Rover. One of the most famous works comes from Monteverdi, a Swiss car factory specializing in luxury cars and sports cars. This car factory began to develop a five-door Range ROVER in 1978, and the development work was greatly assisted by Rover Motor Company. The five-door Range Rover produced by this car factory — — This car is called RANGE ROVER MONTERDI— — It has been greatly welcomed by the market, which naturally makes ROVER Motor Company unable to do nothing.

After seeing this business opportunity, some third-party manufacturers began to provide five-door models based on self-modification, the most famous of which is RANGE ROVER MONTEVERDI. The development of this car itself has also been greatly assisted by Land Rover.

As a result, in 1981, the five-door version of Range ROVER made by Rover Motor Company was born. This car quickly swept the world, almost completely replacing the original three-door version of the original Range Rover in most markets. Even in some markets, ROVER Motor Company soon stopped selling the original three-door version of the original Range Rover. For example, in Britain, the three-door version of the Range Rover was no longer available since 1984.

RANGE ROVER MONTEVERDI

However, it should be noted that although the sales volume and output of the three-door original Range Rover were greatly reduced after the launch of the five-door model, in order to meet the needs of some markets, it was still produced in 1995, that is, the year when the original Range Rover stopped production, but it was only sold in a few markets such as the French market.

After determining that there is a huge demand for the five-door Range ROVER in the market, Rover also put into production its own five-door Range Rover in 1981.

In 1984, in addition to not selling the three-door version of the original Range Rover in many markets such as Britain, Range Rover began to be upgraded, and leather materials were used in cars, and automatic gearboxes could be selected to meet the needs of the market led by the United States, which hated manual gearboxes. In 1985, its interior was further changed. The instrument panel was changed into a newer style, modified from Austin Maestro, and the door interior panel was changed into a style modified from Austin Metro (with some walnut decoration).

In 1986, the appearance of the original Range Rover was changed for the first time. Since then, the most obvious distinguishing feature of the models produced is that the horizontal air intake grille has been changed.

In 1986, the appearance of Range Rover was slightly changed. The most significant change was the replacement of the front air intake grille. The original vertical air intake grille was replaced by a new horizontal plastic grille, which greatly strengthened the ability of pedestrian protection. In addition, the fog lamp (installed on the front bumper) has also become an optional configuration since then. At the same time, the installation position of the front seat is also reduced, which optimizes the ergonomic characteristics and makes the front driver and passengers more comfortable.

Two long wheelbase versions of the original Range Rover: Range Rover LSE (above) and Range Rover County LWB (below).

In order to improve the comfort of the rear passengers, in 1992, Range Rover introduced a long wheelbase version. The wheelbase of this car is 108 inches, which is 2743mm, which is 8 inches longer than that of the ordinary version — — Whether it is a three-door model or a five-door model, it adopts a wheelbase of 100 inches, that is, 2540 mm. This long wheelbase model is called "LSE" in the UK market and "County LWB" in the US market. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the standard 100-inch wheelbase version of the Range Rover chassis became the basis of the chassis discovered by the original Land Rover in 1989.

Note 2:At that time, both ROVER and Austin belonged to Austin Rover Group, so the original Range Rover used parts from Austin.

fourSuspension and control system

Continuously optimized suspension and control system

A great innovation of the original Range Rover is that it is different from all kinds of off-road vehicles using leaf springs at the same time. At the beginning of the birth of Range Rover, its suspension system — — The suspension form is very hard-core front and rear axle suspension — — Long-stroke coil springs were used, and the rear axle even adopted the design of separating the machine spring, which was extremely rare at that time, to provide good off-road performance and highway driving comfort at the same time.

The original Range Rover took the lead in adopting long-stroke spiral springs among similar models, which gave it quite good off-road performance.

Of course, at that time, this design caused many off-road enthusiasts to question, but the first generation of Range Rover immediately proved itself through off-road performance, and when many years later, other off-road vehicles began to introduce this design on a large scale to provide a larger suspension stroke, the advanced nature of this design was once again proved.

At the same time, it also has the road driving comfort without losing the contemporary family car.

However, the chassis of the original Range Rover can’t be said to be perfect. One disadvantage brought by this set of very soft long-stroke spiral springs (although each of them has a bearing capacity of 1600 pounds) is that the Range Rover will roll when turning at high speed on the highway. Because of this problem, the suspension stroke of the original Range Rover produced in 1980 was reduced by 20mm to improve the stability when driving on the road. Later, the anti-roll bar was added to further improve this performance.

On top of the original Range Rover of the 1993 model released at the end of 1992, it was further equipped with an air suspension system that was almost impossible to see in off-road vehicles at that time — — The air suspension system was first used on large trucks, and in the early 1990s, a few luxury cars began to be used — — At the same time, the road performance and off-road performance are improved.

fivepower-driven system

power-driven system

At the beginning of its publication in June, 1970, the original Range Rover model had only one power unit to choose from. The ROVER V8 engine with a displacement of 3.5L (maximum power of 135ps) was equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and a full-time four-wheel drive system. This power plant can accelerate the original Range Rover to 100km/h in 15 seconds, and the top speed can reach more than 150 km/h.. Of course, this is not worth mentioning at all today, and it can even be said that it is very bad. However, when it was published in 1970, this performance had completely surpassed the vast majority of family cars in Europe at that time.

3.5L displacement ROVER V8 engine used in the early days of the original Range Rover.

Coupled with the excellent off-road performance and ride comfort of the original Range ROVER model, Rover Motor Company promoted it as "A Car For All Reasons", which is indeed true. In the product cycle of a quarter century, its power has naturally been upgraded: in 1982, a 3-speed automatic gearbox from was added; In 1985, this 3-speed automatic transmission was replaced by a more advanced ZF 4-speed automatic transmission. The 4-speed manual gearbox is gradually replaced by the 5-speed manual gearbox.

At the beginning of publication, the original Range Rover only provided 4MT gearbox.

As for the engine, in 1986, the Zenith-Stromberg carburetor was replaced by the electronic fuel injection system provided by Lucas, which improved the power output, fuel efficiency and emission performance. Since then, with the change of time, its electronic fuel injection system has been improved, and in the final version produced in 1990-1995, it has been updated to Lucas 14CUX. However, in relatively backward and hard areas, Range Rover continues to provide a carburetor-supplied version. In the later carburetor version, the carburetor was changed from the original Zenith-Stromberg carburetor to the version provided by Skinners Union.

The combination of 3.5L V8 engine and +4MT gearbox can make the early model of the original Range Rover complete 0-100km/h acceleration in 15 seconds, and the top speed is more than 150 km/h.

In addition, the displacement of the later Range Rover is also different. In 1990, the displacement of the original Range Rover was expanded to 3.9L, and in 1992 it was further expanded to 4.2L. The acceleration time from 0-100km/h has been shortened to 11 seconds, and the top speed has been increased to about 180km/h for the later models using the ROVER V8 engine with 4.2L displacement and the 4-speed automatic gearbox made by ZF.

In 1990, the engine displacement of the gasoline version of the original Range Rover was increased to 3.9L

Of course, as an off-road vehicle, besides gasoline power, a diesel engine is also essential. Since 1979, ROVER and Perkins have cooperated to implement a project called "Iceberg" (meaning "iceberg"). This project aims to develop a diesel version of the 3.5L V8 engine. At that time, two diesel engines based on 3.5L ROVER V8 were developed, which were naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions.

The 3.9L engine of the original Range Rover produced in 1990-1992.

However, because the diesel engine operates in a compression ignition mode different from that of the gasoline engine, the all-aluminum cylinder block of ROVER V8 — — The early all-aluminum engine strength was not so good — — Can’t bear this high pressure for a long time, so the project failed. However, the efforts to develop the diesel version of ROVER V8 engine were not completely in vain. The 4.2L displacement version of ROVER V8 gasoline engine mentioned earlier used the high-strength crankshaft developed for the "Iceberg" project at that time.

△ The acceleration time from 0-100km/h of the last gasoline version of the original Range Rover has been reduced to 11 seconds, and the top speed has reached about 180 km/h.

After the failure of the "Iceberg" project, ROVER did not give up his efforts to match a diesel engine for the original Range Rover, and finally this wish was realized by outsourcing the engine. Since 1986, Range Rover has produced a practical 2.4L inline four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine provided by VM Motori, an Italian diesel engine manufacturer. The models equipped with this engine are mainly aimed at several European countries with high emission taxes. In 1989, the diesel engine of the original Range Rover was updated to a 2.5L inline four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine also provided by VM Motori.

Not long after that, in 1992, the diesel engine developed by Land Rover, that is, the 2.5L inline four-cylinder turbocharged 200Tdi engine, was put on the original Range Rover, and then it was replaced by the newer 300Tdi engine with the same 2.5L inline four-cylinder turbocharged at the end of 1994.

However, although diesel engines are an indispensable option for off-road vehicles, the markets including Britain did not recognize these diesel vehicles at first — — Obviously, the quieter and smoother V8 gasoline engine sounds more trustworthy — — In order to prove the capability of diesel engine models, Land Rover broke several records in 1987: they used a Range Rover with a 2.4L inline four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine provided by VM Motori to drive continuously for 24 hours at a speed of over 160km/h to prove the performance and reliability of diesel vehicles.

sixA quarter-century classic

A quarter-century classic

As the beginning of Range Rover, the original Range Rover has been marketed all over the world for a quarter of a century. It can be said that with its forward-looking design, this model did not fall behind in the same period until it was delisted. The first use of long-stroke coil springs and air springs, the continuous improvement of suspension and power system, and the first attempt of luxury models and long-wheelbase versions have made this car a pioneer in many fields.

The original Range Rover, the previous model, three-door version.

However, the story of the original Range Rover is not just that. Because of its good reliability and excellent design rationality, this car has been transformed into a multi-purpose work car including ambulances and fire engines by many manufacturers, and it can be said to be the most SUV of its generation from all angles. Well, once again, at the beginning of the birth of Range Rover, there was no such word, and the original Range Rover was undoubtedly one of the models that defined the word.

Original Land Rover Range Rover, later version, five-door model.

Due to the changes of the times, the development of technology and the changes of consumers’ preferences, there may never be a Range Rover that can achieve such great success in so many fields again. Yes, maybe that’s why the original Range Rover is often called RANGE ROVER Classic. She is really such a classic.

    Jay Chou’s new song MV


    Sina Entertainment News, Jay Chou (listening to songs) (Zhou Dong) held an all-Asian press conference on his new album "I’m Busy" in Taipei yesterday (November 1). Referring to the recent scolding battle with Chen Zeshan, the managing director of EMI Records, which belongs to Jolin Tsai, Zhou Dong directly admitted that he was the one who pointed out that he bought the chart, and even pointed out that the other party was not a good thing. He was even more angry to the point of bursting out. But he described Jolin Tsai as a smart person and believed that it would not damage the friendship between the two.


    At the press conference, Yang Junrong, general manager of Jewell Music, announced that Zhou Dong’s pre-order number in Taiwan was 48,011. He bluntly stated that he would only release the real number, but since Zhou Dong’s new album has been downloaded online, the record company released it one day ahead of schedule and released the latest album of Zhou Dong’s "I’m Busy" yesterday.


    Zhou’s mother, Ye Huimei, especially told him not to talk about the record industry buying the charts. However, Zhou Dong insisted that this was the truth and was not afraid at all. He also pointed out that Chen Zeshan was not a good thing, but he definitely did not target anyone, including Jolin Tsai. But when it came to Cai Yilin’s support for Chen Zeshan, Zhou Dong said: "There is nothing she can do if she wants to be friends with him. Forget it, don’t care about her, you can’t save her." Regarding the accusation of Chen Zeshan, Zhou Dong was not afraid, and he also counted that 6 artists and 4 record companies supported him, proving that his statement was correct. Zhou Dong admitted that he fired at Chen and testified against the buying of the charts, and when he said that he was angry, he was even more foul!


    Honest numbers should be published


    In addition, at the press conference, Sony’s general manager announced that the first batch of Jay Chou’s album shipments in the Asian market was 1,079,980, and even joked that this figure was not too large, supporting other companies to make public the figures. Zhou Dong pointed out that reputation is the most important thing, he is a competitive person, and he should publish honest figures and not suppress newcomers.


    In addition, the press conference broadcast "I don’t deserve" MV, Zhou Dong admitted that 80% of the content is correct, telling about the artist’s love affair being followed by paparazzi, laughing that when he gets old, he will scold the paparazzi like Xie Xian and Song God, and he believes that he will not live a dull life until he gets married, but it is too early to say, because he is only 28 years old this year, but the content of the MV, the four kings will not help but cry when they see it. singtao/cfp/picture

    On the same day, Jackie Chan led the old "Seven Xiaofu" members such as Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu, as well as the new "Seven Xiaofu" composed of Ji Tao, Yi Yang, He Xiang, Wang Haixiang, Xu Dongmei, Yang Zheng, and Tu Shengcheng to make a collective appearance, setting off a climax on the scene. In the heyday of Hong Kong kung fu films, the films starred in or served as martial arts instructors by the old "Seven Xiaofu" members occupied more than half of the kung fu films at the Hong Kong Academy Awards and Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, becoming the mainstay of the golden age of kung fu films. In the film "Looking for Jackie Chan", not only Jackie Chan, Yuanhua, and Yuanqiu starred, but also Yuan Wu and Yuanbin. The executive producers and martial arts directors of the film were Yuan Ting and Yuanbao respectively. It was a rare scene for all seven members of the old "Seven Xiaofu" to reunite after 30 years.

    "Looking for Jackie Chan" tells the story of Zhang Yishan, a Chinese child who lives with his parents in Indonesia. Because he likes martial arts, he comes to Beijing to look for Jackie Chan to be his teacher. After going through all kinds of ups and downs, he finally meets his idol. The film is humorous and entertaining. Not only do many popular stars join in, but also many old artists are invited to make cameos. Jackie Chan, who plays the "Big Green Leaf" in the film, praised the film. "At first, I decided to act in this drama because I felt that there were too few good children’s movies in China. Although I played myself, it was more like a’spiritual prop ‘throughout the film. I hope we can make more inspirational children’s films in the future."

    On the red carpet, there were more than 30 female celebrities present, and they all dressed in different styles and were radiant. Although she had been upgraded to a mother, Ma Yili’s knee-length purple suspender skirt made her look lively and agile, with the same short hair, a refreshing look. I don’t know if it was intentional or not, there was no article about walking with her wife, a black shirt on her upper body, pants are also purple, standard "couple clothes", and the whole "woman sings and husband follow".

    The nursery wore a silver suspender tight skirt that day, highlighting her curvy figure, especially the design of the pattern and the bright fabric material, which is quite individual. Coincidentally, Dong Xuan’s knee-length dress has the same color and fabric selection as the nursery, but the style is different, from a suspender tight skirt to a tube top skirt.

    Gao Yuanyuan’s appearance in public has always been relatively low-key and casual. On that day, she still continued her own style, wearing a loose white shirt with a dark blue skirt below, and her hair was cut short, showing purity. Yan Bingyan also appeared in a white dress, but the V-neck on the back was open to the waist, which was sexy and enchanting. Xue Jianing, who is mostly a cute image, wore a white princess dress, which was fresh and pleasant.

    The most eye-catching ones of the day were Jiang Hongbo and Shen Aojun, both of whom wore long red dresses with strong colors and close-fitting designs, making them sexy and charming, but also noble and elegant. Che Yongli’s dress could be called the most avant-garde, a tube top dress with a golden armor design on the upper body, and a string of golden flowers of the same texture on the left shoulder, which was full of metal, like a "female soldier". Another actress, Wang Yajie, was also very maverick. She gave up the dress that female stars must wear on the red carpet and appeared in a military uniform, looking cool and capable.


For more exciting events, please look forward to the world premiere of "Looking for Jackie Chan" on 19:35 CCTV6 on July 3.

Japanese taxi companies are eager for talents, and Chinese "brothers" are sought after

  China News Service, February 14, Japan’s Oriental New Daily published an article saying that "brother" – a profession that is usually difficult for foreigners to enter in the eyes of ordinary people, has opened the door to foreigners in Tokyo. Recently, Japan’s Yamate Group, which has a taxi business, has extended an olive branch to foreigners who want to be "brother" in Japan. Aiming at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics in 2020, Yamate Group is on full fire in recruiting taxi drivers. Among them, Chinese drivers have high hopes.

  The article is excerpted as follows:

  In 2018, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Japan hit a record high of 8.38 million, and with the call of "buying" and "breaking snow (snow) ", a large number of Chinese tourists flocked to the streets of Japan. Not only that, but the number of Chinese living in Tokyo and the surrounding "bed town" (bed town) is also increasing.

  It is in order to provide more comfortable and convenient taxi services to the growing number of Chinese customers that Yamate Group, which has about 600 taxis, has developed a plan to recruit Chinese taxi drivers.

  In order to become a taxi driver in Japan, in addition to a regular driver’s license, you must also obtain a second type of driver’s license with operating qualifications. Before you can start your job, you must also pass a test on service specifications and geographical knowledge. It is precisely because of this high threshold that Japanese taxi companies rarely recruit drivers to foreigners. In response to these difficulties, Yamate Group provides a comprehensive training system and training program for Chinese drivers.

  The company assists applicants to obtain a second type of driver’s license and bears the relevant expenses. During the training period, it not only helps new drivers to familiarize themselves with the geographical location, but also cultivates drivers’ professional skills in sightseeing, tourism, elderly rehabilitation and other aspects. And establish an incubation program to help prospective drivers obtain professional qualifications in related industries.

  In addition to professional qualification exams, differences in language and culture are also tests that foreigners have to endure in their daily contact with a variety of passengers. Yamate Group also uses its language schools to provide Japanese language and Japanese culture assistance and guidance to Chinese drivers.

  Because taxi drivers are often on a step-by-step (commission) system, in a Japanese society that believes in "merit sequence", they often give the impression of unstable income. To dispel the public’s stereotype of taxi drivers, the taxi industry has been working hard by raising wages, making pay transparent, and providing employees with opportunities to rise.

  In order to reduce the pressure of new drivers and eliminate the sense of resistance in the industry, Yamate Group provides new drivers with a minimum wage guarantee system of 10 months, 270,000 yen (about 16,000 yuan) per month and three months of free accommodation to help newcomers get through the initial entry stage.

  And for those "veteran drivers" who have already obtained the qualification of operation, Yamate Group even offers a reward of 500,000 yen to attract talents to join.

  The "thirst for talent" of Japanese companies is inseparable from the general environment of Japanese society.

  On September 7, 2013, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the International Olympic Committee announced that Tokyo, Japan, would host the 2020 Summer Olympic Games. The news made the whole country boil, and the Japanese government took this opportunity to establish the "Tourism Nation" strategy as an important pillar of its economic policy. As an important pillar of its economic policy, it proposed to attract foreign tourists 40 million in 2020 and achieve the goal of 8 trillion yen in tourism consumption.

  According to the data released by the Japanese Government Tourism Bureau, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan has increased every year. Compared with the 6.22 million of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan has reached 31 million in 2018, which has increased by about 5 times. According to the data released by the Japanese Ministry of Finance, the surplus of Japan’s tourism revenue and expenditure in the first half of 2018 was as high as 1.2642 trillion yen (about 70 billion yuan). It is foreseeable that tourism revenue will greatly affect the direction of Japan’s economy.

  This is accompanied by a huge tourism market. In 2018, the consumption of foreign tourists visiting Japan is estimated to reach 4.5064 trillion yen (about 280 billion yuan), setting a record high. Whether it is the number of tourists or the amount of consumption, the contribution of Chinese mainland is firmly ranked first. Last year, the number of Chinese mainland tourists visiting Japan 8.38 million increased by 13.9% year-on-year, breaking the 8 million mark for the first time; Chinese mainland tourists spent as much as 1.537 trillion yen (about 95.167 billion yuan) in Japan, accounting for more than one-third of the total consumption of foreigners in Japan.

  In the face of the strong spending power of Chinese tourists, Japanese companies are also racking their brains to get a piece of the cake. As an indispensable part of the bridge of communication, those who understand the needs of Chinese customers and are familiar with Japanese society are forced to cut the needs of the job market.

  In addition, the huge gap created by the severe shortage of labor force has also made Japanese society look more towards foreign workers.

  According to the latest forecast by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Japan’s labor force will decline by as much as 22% from 65.30 million in 2017 to 52.50 million in 2040. If urgent measures are not taken, Japanese society will face the dilemma of reducing the labor force by nearly 13 million in the next 20 years.

  The shortage of labor is not just a fantasy of the future. According to Japanese media reports, 45 Japanese companies declared bankruptcy in August 2018 due to a shortage of manpower, a record high. Statistics released by the Imperial Japan Database Room also show that 45.4% of Japanese companies surveyed have a shortage of manpower.

  The grim labor force projections have also prompted Japanese companies to step up their calls for society to accept more foreign workers and immigrants.

  Despite some reluctance, the Japanese government has also had to take a more open attitude towards immigration. On December 8, 2018, the Japanese Diet Senate voted in opposition to the "Exit Management and Refugee Recognition Law", which was dubbed by the Japanese media as the "Expansion of Foreign Talents Act". The bill aims to introduce more foreign workers and solve the labor shortage problem caused by Japan’s declining birthrate and aging population.

  The entry into force of the new law allows the Japanese government to establish two new "residence permits" (residence permits) to accept more foreign workers. According to the plan, the new system will be implemented on April 1, 2019, and it is planned to introduce more than 340,000 foreign workers to 14 industries, including agriculture and elderly care, within five years.

  Perhaps in the near future, it will be commonplace to see foreign laborers busy in every scene of Japanese life.

Hu Ge was questioned in "County Party Committee Courtyard" for not having acting skills? Although the talent is average, it has always been improving

Written by Wang Xiaogun, directed by Kong Sheng, and produced by Hou Hongliang, starring Hu Ge, Wu Yue, and Zhang Xincheng, "County Party Committee Courtyard" is being broadcast in full swing on CCTV.

With such a luxurious and amazing lineup, the audience rating of the drama went LIVE broke through two on the first day, breaking the record of the annual champion "Human World" and winning the best result of the first day broadcast of this year’s CCTV set. The dazzling results have also caused various controversies on the Internet, such as whether the life of grassroots cadres shown in the drama is real or not, whether the working environment within the system suffocates everyone, and whether the work of ordinary people is so difficult to do. A series of related discussions around the plot have been hanging on the hot search for several days.

In addition to everyone’s attention to the plot, the actors’ performances were also important. Especially the male protagonist Hu Ge, after all, this was his work that had not been in the TV series for five years. Before leaving, the "Langya Ranking" left to the audience was his transformation and the work of apotheosis.

In the new drama, he challenges himself to play a cadre and serve as the head of a county. The drama sets him up as a young cadre with a great future. In the face of the old fritters who have been in the officialdom for many years in the county party committee courtyard, this forces Hu Ge to mediate in front of a group of old actors and actors, and he is always tense. Where he can’t catch the play, he can’t hang up.

Of course, fans who had seen the drama said that Hu Ge’s acting skills were delicate and true. However, there were also discordant voices. Some netizens posted on Douban that Hu Ge had no acting skills at all. And this post actually received more than 5,000 likes on an unpopular website that basically didn’t have many people working. People couldn’t help but feel surprised. Could it be that Hu Ge’s acting skills have been blown out for so many years?

Let’s talk about the conclusion first, and give Hu Ge a pertinent evaluation of his acting skills, that is: more than enough.

This evaluation, as long as you look at his acting career, you can see it. The first stage is that Hu Ge plays freely and is invincible by his appearance.

Hu Ge, who was in his early 20s, met "Legend of Fairy Sword and Fairy Hero 1" and played the male lead Li Xiaoyao. The remake of "Legend of Fairy Sword and Fairy Hero 1" will soon meet with everyone, but everyone agrees that no one is Li Xiaoyao except Hu Ge. Li Xiaoyao became Hu Ge, and Hu Ge also became Li Xiaoyao. At that time, Hu Ge was young and high-spirited, and even without acting skills, he could easily interpret Li Xiaoyao’s chivalrous and youthful spirit.

At the same time, most of the TV dramas filmed by Hu Ge were mainly costume idol dramas. Because of this face, he can play all the roles completely without thinking and without any skills. There is nothing wrong with generosity, but it will always make everyone feel a little embarrassed if they need delicate feelings. For example, "Flying Immortals", "Liaozhai" and so on are all from this time period.

Maybe God saw that this handsome guy’s career was going too well, so he deliberately arranged some hardships for him, so that he got into a car accident, and the injured part of the car accident was the face he depended on for a living. Li Xiaoyao once had more than 100 stitches in her big clear and transparent eyes, and now he came to the second stage of Hu Ge.

At this time, he knew that he could no longer rely on his face to eat, and he wanted to transform. Even though he was still attached to the Tang Dynasty at that time, and he was still filming ancient costume idol dramas, he learned to bravely lift his bangs. Therefore, the audience saw Hu Ge deliberately pretending to be ugly and playing the villain in "The Scar of the Sky in Xuanyuan". I can understand that Hu Ge wanted the audience to stop looking at his appearance and see his acting skills. However, in an ancient costume idol drama, there is nothing for the actor to exert depth. The two roles played by Hu Ge made people complain that they were pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.

Indeed, acting ugly did not mean improving his acting skills. Then, Hu Ge came to the third stage. He stopped filming ancient costume idol dramas, went to acting in plays, polished his acting skills, and got to know the team of Shan Ying, which was the predecessor of Noon Sunshine. In this way, "Langya Bang" was born.

Hu Ge made up with himself in this drama. He didn’t pretend to be ugly on purpose, but was instead personable, but he was no longer a young man who used to be high-spirited and save the common people, but a weak and scheming strategist. When the drama needed to really take care of it and use the scenes of deep performance, he did it, which won him a good reputation over the years.

Therefore, based on Hu Ge’s acting experience, he was indeed not a gifted actor who could be enjoyed by God. As soon as he debuted, he was able to perform accurately. At first, he did not plan to take the route of the powerful faction, but he was willing to take one step at a time, constantly changing himself and breaking through himself. Taking a step back, Hu Ge’s acting level may not be comparable to many old actors for the time being, but with time, no one knows if he will change again.

Among the models of the same price and class, Binyue’s trunk volume ranks 78th. It can basically meet the luggage space for family travel. But there is no extra hidden storage space.
