Five blind people play cards. Liu Qian knows cards by hand (Figure)


Five blind people with special skills are playing cards. Jiang Yuejun


  Others don’t let their opponents see the cards when they play cards, but they don’t: some of the cards in their hands are facing up and some are facing down, and they always tilt their heads and lean sideways when playing cards, and their hands are constantly pinching the cards, while they are "listening" with rapt attention … This is the scene that the reporter saw five blind people playing cards in Fangjia, Yang Qiu, a villager in Hanyangwang Village, Danyang City yesterday. Yang Qiufang, a blind man, told reporters that they all play cards by "touching" with their hands, "listening" with their ears and "remembering" with their hearts, but the most important thing is to trust each other and never cheat. It is because of this honesty that five blind people get great happiness from it.


  Special skills are more magical than magic.


  "Blind people can’t see, how can they play cards?" With curiosity, the reporter came to the home of Yang Qiufang, a blind man in Hanyangwang Village, Houxiang Town, Danyang yesterday morning. As soon as he entered the door, he saw five blind people sitting around playing "four hits one (a local poker game)".


  The reporter saw at the scene that in order to ensure the speed, a villager was responsible for licensing them, and five blind people were in no hurry, touching them one by one and holding them in their hands. The reporter found that when they got the card, the thumbs of the five blind people touched the top of the card, and then they were sandwiched between five fingers according to the number and color, and the card was smooth, and the speed was not much slower than that of the healthy people.


  "Three’ 4′ band pairs’ 6′!" A blind man in his 50 s sitting by the door played cards, and another blind man sitting below immediately drew five cards and said, "Three’ K’ s are paired with’ 3’"; "Bomb, four’ 7′!" The blind man by the door brushed the ground and threw out four cards … Although the five blind people couldn’t see the cards thrown out by the other side, they were very quick-witted, and played with relish with the particularly loud shouting. It’s hard to imagine that they couldn’t see at all if they weren’t at the scene.


  The reporter was puzzled. After obtaining the consent of 76-year-old Ge Yunliang, the reporter took the cards in his hand. The scene in front of him shocked the reporter. The cards were arranged in order of size, and the cards of the same color were neatly put together, which was not chaotic at all. Its magic is comparable to Liu Qian’s magic.


  A new deck of cards can be mastered in three days.


  The reporter also touched it with his fingers, feeling that the numbers and colors on the card were not concave and convex at all, not Braille cards, and he couldn’t feel it when he touched it. Closing his eyes was more like touching a piece of paper. How do these five completely blind people "recognize cards"? On what basis can you make a judgment quickly?


  The reporter asked what the trick was, and they said, tell you, you can’t touch it. Don’t say that you are a normal person, even other blind people can’t touch it. The reporter observed at the scene that with the "deepening" of the game, these blind people gradually got excited, and the speed of playing cards was obviously faster, and occasionally they made mistakes. For example, if you shout "a pair of twos", the cards issued are a two and a three, and the dealer and spectators will remind them in time.


  In order to verify the skills of five blind people to touch and read cards again, the reporter specially bought a deck of ordinary poker in the supermarket and took it out for them to change cards. Unexpectedly, several people went on as usual, and it was basically accurate. Yang Qiufang also told reporters that this pair of poker bought by reporters is the third-generation "Three Guns" brand, which is more difficult to touch than the first and second generations, because compared with the first and second generations, paper and printing are different, although ordinary people can’t feel it, but in fact there are still very subtle differences in their hands. The numbers and colors on the first and second generations are still slightly concave and convex, while the three generations feel smoother. But as long as you give him three days, they will soon be proficient.


  reveal a secret


  Why did you practice this trick?


  Ink handwriting can be felt.


  Yang Qiufang, a blind man, told reporters that there are many blind friends around him, but only five of them can play cards, because several of them often study and ponder together, and other blind people don’t have the patience. Of course, this also requires some talent. He told reporters that the youngest of them is only 46 years old. He was sick and blind when he was in high school. He is very smart and can find out the colors in a short time. He said that if normal people calm down and ponder hard, they should also feel this way. Although the concave and convex of the card is very subtle, there are ink marks after all. He told reporters that they can not only touch the cards, but also know the counterfeit money that the money detector can’t identify, and they can also touch the pen words written on the paper. It is said that practice makes perfect.


  "I can feel what cards are in my hand, but what if others deliberately make mistakes?" When the reporter made this remark, Yang Qiu and his blind friends all laughed and repeatedly said, "We don’t play cards blindly. Although we can’t see it, we have to rely on our consciousness and trust to play cards. Otherwise, how can we fight? Besides, what happiness can we have if we cheat each other? We play cards by heart and play with heart. "


  The reporter learned in the interview that these five blind people knew each other in their early years, and they have been playing cards together for more than ten years, and occasionally they will get a little reward. In the process of learning card art, "card friends" not only forged a deep friendship, but also enriched their lives. It’s amazing that five people who live completely in the dark can cross the visual barrier and enjoy playing poker together.

Beijing Chaoyang Sanjianfang self-developed small program, more than 150 young volunteers scanned the code "into the compilation"

The Beijing News (Reporter Zuo Lin correspondent Liu Yuan) On May 9, at a nucleic acid testing point in Sanjianfang District, Chaoyang District, Beijing, many staff members put orange stickers on their backs. A young man raised his mobile phone and scanned the small program code on the sticker. Then the volunteer registration page popped up. Applicants can complete the registration after filling in information such as name, age and community.

A staff member of the Party-mass Work Office in Sanjianfang told the Beijing News reporter that this small program was called "3e Tong" and was independently developed by the region.
Since the start of large-scale nucleic acid testing in Chaoyang District, especially since the implementation of home office in Chaoyang District, more and more young people in Sanjianfang District have asked how to become volunteers after nucleic acid testing, hoping to contribute to the epidemic prevention and control work.
Previously, some young party member and League members who lived or worked in Sanjianfang district volunteered at various nucleic acid detection points by contacting local youth league committees or communities.

"Before, the region and various communities and villages established volunteer WeChat groups, and we will recruit volunteers and arrange shifts in the WeChat group. With more and more volunteers joining, we have adopted the way of taking the lead in the group to arrange volunteers to take up their posts. Volunteers are very active, many jobs are’ seconds killed’, but some young people will take a bye. So we began to think about how to distribute volunteers in various positions more reasonably-this is also a very important issue. " The staff introduced to the Beijing News reporter.
In order to better coordinate the volunteer service, Sanjianfang District independently developed the "3e Connect" applet for volunteer recruitment. After the online registration of volunteers is completed, the community and village staff can export the ledger in the background of the applet, so that the volunteers can be allocated to each point reasonably and nearby according to the information in the ledger.

It is reported that the small program code has been posted in 35 nucleic acid detection points in Sanjianfang area, and full-time staff has been arranged to answer and guide on the spot. Up to now, more than 150 young volunteers have scanned the code and "entered".
Order guidance, ID card scanning, regular disinfection, helping the elderly … Volunteers who have registered on the "3e Connect" have already taken up their posts nearby under the reasonable arrangement of the staff, and signs such as "Three Rooms Volunteer Service Team" and "Come and register volunteers" have been affixed on their chests and backs to attract more young volunteers to join the community anti-epidemic work.

An important practical platform for building a community of human destiny

  As an important practical platform for building a community of human destiny, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative is the embodiment of China’s active participation in global governance and its responsibility as a big country. It is expected that China will join hands with more countries to deepen the cooperation in building the "Belt and Road" and push global development to a new stage of balance, coordination and tolerance.

  The "One Belt, One Road" initiative was put forward by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader with a view to the common development of mankind, which was widely welcomed and positively responded by the international community. This initiative has attracted more than three-quarters of countries and more than 30 international organizations in the world to participate in it, stimulating the investment scale of nearly one trillion US dollars, forming more than 3,000 cooperation projects, creating 420,000 jobs for building a country together and helping nearly 40 million people get rid of poverty. As an important practical platform for building a community of human destiny, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative is the embodiment of China’s active participation in global governance and its responsibility as a big country.

  Building the "Belt and Road" embodies China’s development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing. Based on the principle of discussing, building and sharing, it respects the sovereignty of all countries, does not interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, adheres to open cooperation and mutual benefit, and promotes all-round cooperation among countries and regions along the route through complementary advantages to help countries enhance their development capabilities.

  Faced with the challenges of insufficient recovery momentum and rising protectionism after the global economic epidemic, China insists on opening wider to the outside world, firmly supports free trade, and is committed to promoting economic globalization, promoting the construction of an open world economy, and promoting South-South cooperation and coordinated development among regions, which can be reflected in building the "Belt and Road" and taking infrastructure as the cornerstone of interconnection as a priority area. In the past 10 years, China has built the "Belt and Road" with high quality with countries and regions along the route, which has achieved fruitful results and accumulated valuable experience for more lasting cooperation in the future.

  China-Europe train is an international trade artery that runs through Eurasia. It closely connects Europe and Asia, showing strong resilience and vitality, and is one of the most iconic achievements of the "Belt and Road" cooperation between Europe and China. On March 9th this year, on the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Spain and China, the "Yixin Europe" China-Europe train named after the "Commemoration of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and the West" set off from Madrid, the capital of Spain, and ran opposite to the train leaving from Yiwu, China, to celebrate the friendship between the two countries for half a century. Since the opening of the "Yixin Europe" train, it has provided great convenience for the trade of goods between Western China and even Europe and China. At present, the "Yixin Europe" China-Europe train has spread to more than 160 cities in more than 50 countries in Eurasia, effectively promoting economic and trade cooperation among countries.

  In addition to cooperation in traditional fields, in recent years, China has also combined its own development experience with the development needs of countries and regions along the Belt and Road to promote international cooperation in emerging fields such as the digital economy. Take the construction of the "Digital Silk Road" as an example. As an important part of the "Belt and Road", it covers many new development fields, from network infrastructure to nanotechnology, big data, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and smart cities. It is becoming a digital bridge to promote new globalization, and many countries have shown strong interest in it. At present, the digital economy is one of the main engines to promote China’s economic growth, and it is also one of the key areas to promote international cooperation. Strengthening international cooperation in the digital economy, especially between China and other emerging markets and developing countries, will help to narrow the global digital divide, promote the balanced development of all countries and promote the global digital governance reform.

  "Follow the principle of co-construction, co-construction and sharing, and promote ‘ Belt and Road ’ The writing of "Construction" in Constitution of the Communist Party of China fully reflects China’s determination and confidence in promoting the Belt and Road international cooperation. It is expected that China will join hands with more countries to deepen the cooperation in building the "Belt and Road" and push global development to a new stage of balance, coordination and tolerance.

Academician Chen Xiangmei: Make the risk factors that are unfavorable to kidney health a household name.

  CCTV News:In order to improve people’s attention to chronic kidney disease (CKD), the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Foundation for Nephrology (IFKF) jointly designated the second Thursday of March every year as "world kidney day". March 14th, 2019 is the 14th world kidney day, and this year’s theme is "Kidney Health for All".

  On March 17th, more than 200 leaders, nephrologists and medical staff, including Yang Min, Vice President of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Jin Dapeng, Chairman of Nephrology Branch of Beijing Medical Association, Chairman of Nephrology Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Academician Chen Xiangmei, Chairman of Nephrology Committee of China Society of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, gathered in national hotel, Beijing, and read out the "world kidney day Proposal in 2019" and started academic exchanges around this year’s theme.

  "Everyone enjoys kidney health" aims to further raise people’s attention to the high burden and important harm of kidney diseases around the world, improve the prevention and management strategy of kidney diseases, and call for comprehensive health coverage, prevention and early treatment of kidney diseases. Encourage people to adopt a healthy lifestyle, screen high-risk groups, ensure that patients with kidney disease get the basic health services they need, such as basic physical examination, laboratory tests, and essential drugs, delay the progress of the disease as much as possible, and strengthen advanced health care capabilities to ensure the health of the whole people’s kidneys.

  However, as one of Chinese’s favorite "tonic" organs, does the public really know about kidneys? Therefore, persistent popularization of popular science is the most important work for medical staff during their stay in world kidney day, which has been done by Beijing nephrologists for 14 years. Every year, through a large number of new media publicity, free clinics, doctor-patient friendship, knowledge lectures and other forms, medical common sense and knowledge of CKD prevention and treatment are popularized to the public, so that many Beijing citizens have obtained correct knowledge of kidney disease. On March 14th this year, on the same day in world kidney day, kidney disease experts from 16 hospitals in Beijing, including xuanwu hospital of Capital Medical University, Fourth Medical Center of the People’s Liberation Army and People’s Hospital of Peking University, walked into Luhe Hospital of Tongzhou affiliated to Capital Medical University and held free clinic and popular science publicity activities. The scene was very warm. "We issued a call to the whole country, and the kidney health of the people in the city and the kidney health of the people all over the country started from this! This is what Beijing experts should do, and it is also what Beijing experts have done well and have always insisted on doing. " Academician Chen Xiangmei affirmed the popular science work of kidney disease in Beijing in the past 14 years.

  Is your kidney healthy?

  Academician Chen Xiangmei said in his speech at this conference that this year’s government work report clearly puts chronic diseases at the national prevention and treatment level, and our theme this year, "Kidney health for all", is to extend from disease to the concept of great health, which is very macroscopic and in line with the pulse of the times, in line with the pulse of deepening reform of medical and health undertakings, and what we should do when we enter a new era.

  At present, compared with cardiovascular disease and diabetes, the popularization of chronic kidney disease in China is not extensive enough, and the medical literacy of the general public needs to be improved. They lack the awareness of actively understanding medical common sense and fail to fully understand the knowledge of preventing kidney disease in time. Moreover, the problem of "expensive and difficult to see a doctor" still exists, which makes some patients fail to see a doctor in time or have regular physical examination. These are important reasons why chronic kidney disease is not easy to be found early.

  If chronic kidney disease is not prevented early, the condition will gradually progress until uremia develops; It not only damages the health and labor ability of patients, but also brings great pain to patients and even endangers their lives; At the same time, it will also greatly increase the economic burden of patients’ families and society. In fact, the low rate of early prevention and control has brought serious consequences. About 20%-30% patients with kidney disease often find that the renal function damage has developed to an irreversible level when they first visit the hospital.

  But how can the public judge whether their kidneys are healthy?

  In fact, it’s very simple, just a simple physical examination. Urine protein and red blood cells in urine routine can basically provide clear signals related to kidney disease.

  "The key to early interventional therapy is to insist on regular screening every year. Even if there are no symptoms, it is generally necessary to screen urine routine and renal function once a year. If you have hypertension, diabetes, etc., you should check it every six months as appropriate; If you already have certain symptoms, you should go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination as soon as possible. " This year’s brochure of world kidney day clearly points out the ways and means.

  Prevention and treatment of kidney disease starts with healthy living.

  In recent 30 years, with the improvement of living standards and working conditions of Chinese people, some changes have taken place in people’s traditional lifestyle, such as excessive intake of certain nutrients (carbohydrates, fat, salt, etc.) and reduced physical activity; At the same time, work stress, mental stress, lack of sleep, smoking, alcoholism, environmental pollution and other factors have increased the incidence of metabolic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia and obesity, resulting in an increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease. In addition, drug-induced renal damage caused by drug abuse or irregular use of drugs also showed a significant increase trend.

  In the academic exchanges at the conference, Professor Li Yuehong’s "What kind of harm does beauty and hairdressing do to the kidney", Professor Tu Xiaowen’s "Smoking and drinking do harm to the kidney", Professor Li Zhongxin’s "The four high protections are not in place, and the kidney is not small", Professor Xiao Yuefei’s "I don’t care if I have a cold and fever, but my kidney is hurt by improper medication" and Professor Zhou Yilun’s "What should I do to protect my kidney" are all easy to understand from the perspective of daily life.

  At present, the incidence of kidney disease in China is as high as 10.8%, and there are about 130 million CKD patients in China. Looking around the world, there are about 850 million people suffering from kidney disease in the world for various reasons. CKD causes at least 2.4 million deaths every year, and it is currently the sixth fastest growing cause of death.

  Therefore, Academician Chen Xiangmei suggested that "the participation of the whole people should make people fully realize that CKD is a preventable and treatable disease, understand the characteristics of common diseases, be familiar with the basic knowledge of self-management of diseases, master the skills of healthy lifestyle, and gradually enhance the awareness of disease prevention. It is necessary to change unhealthy lifestyles such as overeating, smoking, excessive drinking and lack of exercise, and prevent and control obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia and abuse.

  At the same time, experts attending the meeting also called on the whole society to pay more attention and help to CKD patients in spirit, psychology, work, family, economy and life, and strive to gradually realize the beautiful vision that everyone can master medical common sense and enjoy healthy kidneys.

The annual report on trade with China is greatly popular. There is no market for "decoupling theory"

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 21st(International observation) The annual report on trade with China is greatly popular. There is no market for "decoupling theory"

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  Recently, many major economies in the world published the annual trade reports with China in 2022, and a number of bilateral trade data with China reached record highs, with frequent highlights of economic and trade cooperation, showing that economic and trade ties with China are getting closer and cooperation with China’s supply chain is more resilient.

  International observers believe that the red-hot annual trade reports of major economies with China have greatly boosted the confidence of countries in China’s economy and win-win economic and trade cooperation with China, and also clearly showed that the "decoupling theory" advocated and manipulated by American politicians with China is not accepted by the market.

  Closer ties: the trade volume with China has reached record highs.

  Looking at the trade data of major countries and regions with China in 2022, many countries and regions have stronger trade performance with China than with other major trading partners, which not only maintains the growth trend, but also exceeds their overall foreign trade growth rate.

  According to data released by the US Department of Commerce on the 7th, according to US statistics, the total trade volume of goods between the United States and China in 2022 reached US$ 690.6 billion, a record high. The American media believe that it is "surprising" that the US-China trade data reached a new high in 2022, considering that the United States has imposed tariffs on China’s goods exported to the United States for many years and that the US government has blocked the exchanges between China and the United States on the grounds of "national security", which fully proves that bilateral economic and trade relations are still close.

  According to data released by Eurostat on the 15th, the total trade volume of goods between Europe and China reached 856.3 billion euros in 2022, an increase of about 23% compared with 2021, which also reached a new high.

  According to the latest data from the German Federal Statistical Office, the total trade volume between Germany and China rose to a record level of 297.9 billion euros in 2022, an increase of about 21% compared with 2021, which was higher than the overall growth rate of German foreign trade in the same period. China has become the most important German trading partner for the seventh consecutive year.

  Juergen Martes, an expert at the German Economic Research Institute, said that China’s economy is huge, and the economic and trade ties between Germany and China are closer. No one wants to and cannot "decouple" from China.

  According to the data released by the General Administration of Customs of China, in 2022, the bilateral trade volume between China and Africa, ASEAN and Latin America reached US$ 282 billion, US$ 975.3 billion and US$ 485.8 billion respectively, increasing by 11.1%, 11.2% and 7.7% respectively compared with 2021, all of which were record highs.

  Former Croatian Minister of Economy Ljubo Jurcic told Xinhua News Agency that although the COVID-19 epidemic has brought some impact, China’s economy has maintained a relatively high growth rate for many years, which is the "locomotive" for stimulating world economic growth. Politicians and media in a few western countries concocted the decoupling theory with China because they ignored or didn’t want to see the fact that the world was closely linked with China.

  More dividends: complementary advantages to achieve a win-win situation

  Under the market law of complementary advantages and mutual benefit and win-win, the economic and trade cooperation between countries with China is full of vitality.

  In view of the new trend of German-Chinese trade in 2022, the German Economic Research Institute reported that the increase in international energy and raw material prices aggravated inflationary pressure, and affordable goods produced in China were more favored by the German market. In addition, German enterprises have gradually increased their investment in China and localized production, which is also reflected in the trade data.

  In the past year, automobiles were the main highlight of bilateral trade between Mexico and China. According to the data of National Geographic Statistics Bureau of Mexico, in 2022, China cars accounted for nearly a quarter of the imported cars in Mexico. China has surpassed the United States, Japan and other countries to become the main source country of Mexican imported cars.

  According to the latest data from the National Statistics and Census Institute of Argentina, China will be Argentina’s second largest export destination and largest import source in 2022. Compared with 2021, Argentina’s import and export of goods to China in 2022 increased by 29.4% and 27.4% respectively.

  Pablo Levinton, a professor of economics at Ranus National University in Argentina, believes that the economies of Argentina and China are highly complementary. Argentina’s high-quality beef, red wine and other products are welcomed by the China market, and Argentina’s lithium, copper and other mineral resources are also needed by China’s new energy industries.

  The North Africa Post commented that Africa-China trade reached a new high. Africa has expanded its exports to China with the advantages of natural resources such as crude oil, copper, cobalt and iron ore, while China’s products such as machinery, electronics and textiles meet the demand of the African market.

  Bambang Suryono, Chairman of the Asian Innovation Research Center, an Indonesian think tank, said that the bilateral trade volume between Indonesia and China increased by nearly 20% in 2022 compared with the previous year, and China continued to be Indonesia’s largest trading partner, demonstrating the high correlation and complementarity between the two economies.

The 4S shop’s promotion promise of "zero down payment for car purchase" is illegal and illegal.

  Zhengzhou, Zhengzhou, July 24 th (Henan Taiwan reporter Zhou Wenru) According to the Voice of China News Night, "the car loan is zero down payment, and the car drives home". You can drive the car home without spending a penny. Such a "good thing" sounds really tempting. But is there really such a free lunch? In the end, Mr. Xu from Zhengzhou, Henan Province met a businessman who promised to pick up the car with zero down payment. So did he really buy the car without spending a penny? Is buying a car with zero down payment a "pie" or a "trap"?

  At the beginning of this year, Mr. Xu, a citizen of Zhengzhou, took a fancy to a car in an automobile sales company in the North Ring Road of Zhengzhou. Mr. Xu said that he chose to buy a car in this sales company precisely because the merchant promised to pick up the car with "zero down payment". According to the regulations, Mr. Xu also paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan. The company promised that the rest of the money would be paid in advance by the company. After picking up the car, he would handle the second loan for Mr. Xu. After deducting the expenses, he could drive away.

  After paying the deposit, Mr. Xu waited at home for the car sales company to go through the car installment payment procedures, and then picked up the car, but there was no news from the left and right. Mr. Xu went to the company for consultation, but was told that he had to pay a series of fees such as commercial insurance and purchase tax before picking up the car.

  "Zero down payment" literally means that the customer borrows money to buy a car, and does not need a down payment, just needs to repay the loan on a monthly basis. This is actually very tempting for many people, especially young people. The reporter learned that at present, most of the so-called zero down payment car purchases in the car purchase market are made by 4S stores for promotion, but they are actually operated by auto finance institutions and small guarantee companies. A salesperson of a 4S shop in Zhengzhou revealed that the down payment part of the zero down payment is made by the company itself, and the purchase tax and insurance can be funded by a third party. "To put it bluntly, it is a kind of private lending, and then they pay interest."

  This mode of operation usually advances the full amount to help customers pick up their cars, buy insurance and get a license. When customers have assets, they can apply for credit cards from many banks, and then cash out their credit cards to recover their investment. Mr. Zhu, who has worked in a 4S shop for a long time, told reporters that in this case, consumers only have the right to use, not the ownership. After the sales company helps customers pay the down payment, the car registration certificate is mortgaged. The name on the certificate is a small guarantee company or a guarantor. It will not be transferred to customers until all the money is paid off.

  Auto financing companies will adjust the interest rate according to the down payment ratio of car buyers. The usual rule is that the higher the down payment, the lower the loan interest rate, while the zero down payment interest rate is relatively higher. Moreover, Mr. Zhu told us that when handling zero down payment through auto financing companies, customers are generally required to buy auto insurance in the 4S shop that handles car loans, and also to install a positioning system, so in the end, customers will not get benefits in terms of vehicle prices. After calculation, Mr. Zhu found that the zero down payment car purchase will be repaid in three years, and a car with a price of about 150,000 yuan will cost more than 30,000 to 40,000 yuan in handling fees and interest. The 4S shop also requires a GPS with a price of more than 3,000 yuan. "

  In the whole process of zero down payment, auto finance companies have to charge high fees for handling credit cards for customers. The handling fee for a credit card with a limit of 100,000 yuan is 15%, which is 15,000 yuan.

  It is understood that Article 22 of the Measures for the Administration of Automobile Loans jointly promulgated by the Central Bank and the China Banking Regulatory Commission stipulates that the amount of loans for self-use by lenders shall not exceed 80% of the price of automobiles purchased by borrowers, that is, "zero down payment" is not allowed and recognized by law, which is illegal. Jiang Gongmin, executive vice president of Henan Automobile Industry Association, pointed out that zero down payment cars are usually mortgage cars in stock, and it is very risky to buy them by this unreasonable and illegal method.

  The staff of Zhengzhou Industrial and Commercial Bureau reminded consumers that there is no free lunch in the world, and consumers should not be greedy for petty gains. To buy a car, you should go to a regular car store or exhibition hall. You can consult the bank or apply directly to the manufacturer’s finance for buying a car by stages.

Alleged fake photo: "Qinghai-Tibet Railway opens up a life channel for wild animals"


Netizens pointed out that there are three frauds in the photo.


    The person in charge said that The Annual Selection of CCTV Photo News Affecting 2006 was sponsored by CCTV, undertaken by China FotoPress, and sponsored by Xinhua Daily Telegraph, Workers Daily, China Youth Daily, Beijing Evening News and Xinmin Evening News. The jury consists of senior professionals such as China Photographers Association, Xinhua Daily Telegraph, Workers Daily, China Youth Daily, China Daily, People’s Photography, China News Weekly, China News Service, China Photography and Xinmin Evening News.


    Among the seven selection rules announced to the public, the first one emphasizes that "all entries must conform to the recognized principle of authenticity in the photo contest." The original image shall not be changed for the entries. The organizer does not modify the participating works. " In view of the works submitted by professionals, the selection also clearly stipulates that "the entries must be original works shot after January 1, 2006 and published in domestic legal media." During this period, from thousands of published photos, the organizing committee of the selection activity finally selected ten photos with the first, second and third prizes after initial evaluation and re-evaluation. Liu Weiqiang, a reporter from Daqing Evening News, won the bronze prize for his news photo "Qinghai-Tibet Railway opens a life channel for wildlife" taken on June 23, 2006.


    The person in charge said that the reason why the Qinghai-Tibet Railway opens a life channel for wild animals was selected was that the news picture had been published by Xinhua News Agency and other media; Second, the author himself thinks that the picture is original and meets the requirements of the selection rules. In view of whether the picture is original or not, the reporter also specially tuned the program materials of the award party at that time. The following is the dialogue between CCTV host Annabel Lee and Liu Weiqiang at the awarding ceremony-


    Annabel Lee: First of all, congratulations to you, Liu Weiqiang. I also want to tell you that Liu Weiqiang got the news the latest among all our winners today. When did you get the news?


    Liu Weiqiang: The day before.


    Annabel Lee: I just found out the day before. Where were you when our staff called you?


    Liu Weiqiang: In no man’s land, no man’s land in Hoh Xil.


    Annabel Lee: So you’ve had a hard time getting here, haven’t you?


    Liu Weiqiang: I didn’t plan to come here after I got the news, because it’s the mating season for Tibetan antelopes, and this moment is rare, but I think since I can be given a chance, I’ll get here anyway.


    Annabel Lee: You think it’s an opportunity for Tibetan antelope to receive the prize.


    Liu Weiqiang: I think so.


    Annabel Lee: Look at this photo of you. What are the chances that you, the train and the Tibetan antelope will be in the same time and space in a no-man’s land at an altitude of four or five kilometers?


    Liu Weiqiang: In the language of photography, this is a moment, very short, because the Tibetan antelope, a creature, is very timid by nature, and it has run away when people are far away. When I took this photo, I dug a bunker in front, which was more than half a meter deep. I was in the bunker and covered it with something, so the Tibetan antelope was lucky enough to rush to my camera from the opposite side. Actually, it was only a few seconds when the Tibetan antelope passed by, but I waited in the bunker for eight days.


    Annabel Lee: Eight days?


    Liu Weiqiang: Right.


    Annabel Lee: Eight days. Does eight days mean eight days and nights? Eight 24 hours?


    Liu Weiqiang: Almost eight 24 hours.


    Annabel Lee: When you wait until the seventh day, how do you know that the sheep will definitely come on the eighth day? What should I do if I don’t come on the eighth day and the tenth day?


    Liu Weiqiang: I will wait. In fact, I also know that even if I wait for eight days or even eighteen days, I may not be able to wait for this moment. But as a reporter, I should stick to it for a beautiful moment. I can wait, let alone eight days, eighteen days and twenty-eight days, because I have been shooting Tibetan antelopes since March.


    Annabel Lee: Tibetan antelope is the subject of this group of photos. The place you chose, trains and tracks are very important subjects. What is the purpose of taking this photo here?


    Liu Weiqiang: I want to show the harmony between Tibetan antelopes, trains, people and nature on July 1, 2006. I want to express it with one of my pictures, because the earth belongs to everyone, and the harmony between people and animals is what everyone expects.


    Annabel Lee: Did you rush to our site to receive the prize? Will you go back immediately or go home to have a look?


    Liu Weiqiang: I will fly back to Golmud on my plane tomorrow, because the mating season of Tibetan antelopes is very short. I have photographed all the four seasons of Tibetan antelopes in one year, except for the last scene of Tibetan antelopes’ love. I want to get it. At this time next year, I will call on 2.7 million Daqing people to donate money to Tibetan antelopes in China in the name of Daqing Evening News, as long as my picture can make everyone know more about Tibetan antelopes and Tibetan antelopes.


    During the interview, the person in charge told reporters that CCTV attaches great importance to relevant media reports, and is closely monitoring the progress of the situation with the composition of the jury and professionals, and will make further responses and treatments based on the survey results.

  Since the beginning of this year, Ningbo has undertaken many e-commerce businesses spilled from Shanghai and other places. For these imported goods, the local customs actively promoted the cross-border e-commerce transit business in the Yangtze River Delta region and opened various transit channels such as "air-to-air", "air-to-land" and "air-to-sea".
