CCTV News:Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference held its second press conference on March 8th at the first session of the 13th session, inviting Yang Weimin, deputy director of the Central Financial and Economic Leading Group Office, Hu Xiaolian, chairman and party secretary of The Export-Import Bank of China, Chen Xiaohua, former vice minister of agriculture, Qian Yingyi, vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and president of Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management, and Ning Gaoning, party secretary and chairman of China Sinochem Group Co., Ltd. to answer questions from reporters on promoting high-quality economic development.

　　First Financial Reporter: I would like to ask Commissioner Chen Xiaohua, as we all know, industrial prosperity is the focus of rural revitalization. Recently, we learned in an interview that the rural population is decreasing continuously and some villages are "hollowed out". Excuse me, Commissioner Chen, how to make the industrial revitalization accurately land in such a village?

　　Chen Xiaohua: As we all know, the key to rural revitalization lies in people. If a village loses its popularity and talents, the development of this village will definitely be bad. At the present stage, the rural labor force is indeed decreasing continuously, and some villages have also appeared the phenomenon of "hollowing out". We should look at this problem from two aspects. On the one hand, it is an inevitable result of urbanization. Many countries in the world experienced the phenomenon of rural population outflow before the urbanization rate reached 70%. In the past five years, the rural population has settled in cities for a total of nearly 80 million, making them become urban residents from farmers. In the future, the transfer of rural population and the settlement in cities will increase, which can be said to be an objective trend. On the other hand, we also have to admit that people are empty, and there is no popularity. If we only rely on the old, weak women and children left behind, this village will definitely be bad. Therefore, we should pay attention to this situation and not treat it passively, otherwise, the rural revitalization and industrial prosperity will come to nothing.

　　From the experience of some places, the key is to focus on people, and we can start from two aspects. On the one hand, we should vigorously cultivate new subjects and new farmers. To do this well, one is to rely on staying, that is, to vigorously cultivate local talents, especially rich leaders and practical talents in rural areas, and lead the masses to develop production and do a good job in village construction through them. Therefore, the training of rural practical talents and new farmers in recent years has played a positive role in solving this problem. On the other hand, to rely on introduction means to attract talented people who go out and talents in the city through various policies.

　　It is necessary to attract people returning to the countryside to innovate and start businesses in the countryside. In fact, in recent years, there have been about 7 million people who have returned to the countryside to engage in new industries and new formats, which have brought vitality and vitality to the countryside. This trend should be actively supported and guided.

　　On the other hand, optimize the layout of villages. In fact, with the change of rural population, it will inevitably lead to changes in villages, so we should start from reality and consider optimizing the layout of villages according to local conditions from now on. For villages with conditions, it is mainly through infrastructure construction and public service provision to create conditions for farmers’ production and life. Villages with historical and cultural values should be protected, and villages without living conditions should be relocated. Therefore, through these measures, people can be retained and brought down, and various measures for industrial revitalization can be implemented.

　　23:20, it’s late at night. The city quieted down in the dark, like a tired lion, and temporarily converged sharply.

　　The night bus No.27 starts from Wuyi Garden Station on the East Sixth Ring Road in Beijing on time, all the way to the west, and the destination is Guomao on the East Third Ring Road. A group of special passengers got on the bus. They all hung work tags and each carried a folding scooter. Many people are frequent visitors and know each other well. This is a famous "special drive line" in Beijing, and the night bus to the city center at night is the beginning of their hope every day.

　　There are 36 night shift lines in Beijing, which start at 23: 20 and close at 4:50 in the morning, with an average daily departure of 792 times, carrying more than 10,000 urban night returnees every day. According to the China Smart Travel Big Data Report released by Didi, Beijing is one of the cities with the worst overtime in China, and the proportion of white-collar workers leaving work before 19: 00 is less than 40%. At the headquarters of the Internet company in Houchang Village, the lights are always on until after midnight, and the boss who lives with the rhythm of 996 and the "overtime dog" keep Beijing awake at night.

　　Beijing, which never sleeps in the middle of the night, cannot be directly equated with the prosperous night economy. Day and night are the AB side of the city. The A side of Beijing is an orderly international metropolis in high-speed operation, and it is a place of dreams and ambitions supported by more than 21 million people. Beijing, on the other hand, has always been ridiculed by the southern urban agglomeration as "no nightlife", because the night economy does not mean overtime at night, and it is not a simple continuation of the daytime economy.

　　The lack of presence in the night economy does not match Beijing’s economic strength. The data shows that in 2018, Beijing’s per capita GDP reached 21,200 US dollars, which is at the level of developed countries, ranking first in the country. Internationally, the prosperity of "night economy" is an important symbol of a city’s economic openness and activity. Therefore, at the two sessions in Beijing this year, the prosperous night economy was written into the government work report. On July 12th, Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce launched "13 Articles on Night Economy".

　　Beijing is trying to make up the lesson of "night economy".

　　There is no nightlife in Beijing?

　　Jia Jingnan lives in Haidian District, Beijing, where there are many colleges and universities, a strong educational atmosphere and many Internet companies, most of which are "code farmers" living the "996" rhythm.

　　"We Haidian people don’t pay attention to nightlife." At the age of 29, there is no business atmosphere in Haidian District. The nearest to his home is Wukesong, and now the Huaxi LIVE commercial district has been built, which is the most prominent night economic hot spot in western Beijing. But three years ago, there were only Wukesong Stadium and outdoor basketball court, and it was not popular at night.

　　Jia Jingnan’s main nightlife is in Chaoyang District and Dongcheng District. "Haidian boy’s nightlife is that he doesn’t have a girlfriend to play in Wukesong, but he has a girlfriend to go shopping in the east." In his impression, Nancheng has no sense of existence. He will drive to niujie with his family and friends at night to eat hotpot, but he will go home early after eating. In his view, Nancheng belongs to old Beijing, and the residents are older as a whole. There are no large office buildings and enterprises around, and it is "deserted after 10 pm".

　　For most Beijingers, nightlife is dispensable. Southerners in the circle of friends are always "poisoning in the middle of the night": Guangzhou people go out at 12 o’clock in the evening to meet for supper, Changsha people are partying at Jiefang West Road at 2 o’clock in the middle of the night, and Chengdu people are still waiting in line at the hot pot restaurant at 3 o’clock in the morning.

　　By southern standards, there is no nightlife in Beijing. Many big data can support this impression. According to the hungry 2017 take-away supper order quantity ranking, Beijing supper order quantity only ranks sixth. According to Didi Chuxing’s 2017 Urban Traffic Travel Report, among the top ten business districts with the richest nightlife index in China, Beijing’s Houhai and Sanlitun are only ranked 8 th and 9 th.

　　In fact, there is no shortage of landmark night economic areas in Beijing. Workers’ sports, Sanlitun, Houhai and Guijie have propped up half of Beijing’s night economy. Sanlitun business circle is the weather vane of nightlife in Beijing at present. In this small area of 2.2 square kilometers of East Third Ring Road, there are more than 57,000 permanent residents, a considerable number of whom are foreigners.

　　Sanlitun has become an economic highland at night, which is closely related to the strong international atmosphere around it. Near Sanlitun, there are 93 embassies in China, 15 United Nations agencies in China, and China headquarters of many multinational companies. In 1995, the first bar opened in Sanlitun, originally serving foreigners around, but imported products quickly took root and became the most fashionable lifestyle of young people in Beijing at night. At the peak, more than 200 bars gathered around Sanlitun.

　　As the location of Beijing CBD, Chaoyang District, where Sanlitun is located, is also the most active area in Beijing at night. The staff of Chaoyang District Bureau of Commerce told China Newsweek that the night economy in Chaoyang District shows a multi-point flowering distribution, and Sanlitun, Hujialou, Chaoyangmen, Jianguomen, Shuangjing and Jinsong are the most active areas in the city. The data shows that in 2018, Chaoyang District accounted for 33.1% of online consumption at night in Beijing. Beijing Unicom’s mobile phone signaling data (telecom terminology) shows that after 22 pm, the active population in Chaoyang District accounts for 1/5 of the city, which is more active than other areas in Beijing.

　　The nightlife of "Chaoyang people" is rich, but it can’t cover up the overall lack of night economy in Beijing. There are some bright spots locally, but the whole is not active, which is also a common problem in northern cities.

　　Night-to-store consumption shows an obvious trend of "strong in the south and weak in the north", which is the conclusion drawn in the "Night Economy" Report released by Alibaba in July. Among the 10 cities with the most active night consumption in China, the southern cities account for 9 seats, and the northern cities are only listed in Beijing. In the "nightlife index" published by the New First-tier Cities Research Institute, eight of the top 20 nightlife indexes are cities south of the Yangtze River, Beijing ranks fourth, and the top three are Shenzhen, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

　　Zhang Bairui, deputy director of the Institute of Urban Studies, Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, once noticed a detail. In many southern cities, no matter the size of the restaurant store or what time it is at night, few waiters take the initiative to remind them to close, and this scene is very common in Beijing. "Affected by natural conditions, the night economy in the south is more developed than that in the north, and the service consciousness is stronger." He told China Newsweek.

　　Climate is not the only reason that restricts Beijing’s economy at night. The inconvenient transportation at night is also an important factor. In the urban nightlife index released by the New First-tier Cities Research Institute, almost all the top ten cities in the night bus coverage are southern cities, especially Guangdong and Hainan. Beijing ranks out of the top 20, and its night bus coverage rate is only 17.8%. For many white-collar workers who have dinner at night, they must pinch the time like Cinderella, and make the happiness of the party come to an abrupt end before the end of the last bus.

　　But this year, this situation has changed a lot. In order to stimulate the night economy, the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission announced that the operation hours of Metro Lines 1 and 2 will be extended from May to October every year on Fridays and Saturdays, so as to provide convenience for consumers to go to the night consumption places in Beijing along Chang ‘an Avenue and around the Second Ring Road. At the same time, many other subway lines also extended their business hours over the weekend.

　　"In fact, Beijing has a large enough demand for night consumption." Zhang Bairui believes that for a world-class city like Beijing, the development of night economy has the effect of "getting more at once": it is not only an important way to promote consumption upgrading, but also a necessary condition for developing high-quality life and an important symbol of Beijing’s urban vitality. "In some international metropolises, the prosperity of night economy also represents the vitality of the city to a certain extent."

　　Make up "Midnight Food Store"

　　Guijie is a microcosm of Beijing’s night economy.

　　Guijie, where Hu Da Restaurant is located, is the most landmark midnight snack street in Beijing. On both sides of the street with a total length of more than 1400 meters, there are more than 250 merchants, of which more than 90 are crayfish shops. Hu Da Restaurant has four branches in this street, which can sell 8,000 Jin of crayfish every day. Fang Xuhu, assistant general manager of Hu Da Restaurant, told China Newsweek that at the gate of the main store, people began to line up at 11 am every day, and the waiting time continued until 2 am. There are also some customers who will eat until six or seven in the morning, wake up completely from the drunkenness of the night before, get up and walk into a new day.

　　Although midnight snack in Guijie Street has been popular for more than 20 years, Beijing, like other parts of the country, is planning to build more "Midnight Food Store" on how to better take care of people’s restless stomachs in the middle of the night.

　　In the context of the slowdown of national economic growth, various places have begun to tap the potential of night economy. How to eat well is the most important thing in all the ways to promote the night economy, because catering is one of the most important categories in the night economy. On July 12th, Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce launched "13 items of night economy", in which it specifically mentioned that 10 food and beverage blocks with Midnight Food Store characteristics were launched. The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce also provided real money to provide financial support to Midnight Food Store.

　　Yang Wenxin took over as general manager of Beijing Zhongjun World City (hereinafter referred to as "World City") last year. World City is a commercial complex in Chaoyang CBD area. At that time, a big problem faced by Yang Wenxin was that the World City was located in a narrow block on the north side of World Trade Center day order, facing the popular Qiaofufang Grassland in the northwest. The project was very small, and it has been running for 10 years, and it has been tepid and lacked a sense of existence in the eyes of consumers.

　　He led the team to conduct market research, asked about the needs of consumers and businesses, and smelled the potential of night consumption in Beijing. The heat map provided by Didi to the World City shows that the area around the World City has the largest number of orders among the areas where the special orange car is played at night in Beijing. Yang Wenxin’s analysis of China Newsweek shows that the main customer base of World City is middle and high-end users, who have consumption power and demand, so he decided to play differentiated competition in business format and time.

　　Yang Wenxin’s team began to transform the world city block, transforming the former retail and lifestyle boutiques into catering shops, and introducing some catering brands and online celebrity stores. In his view, the consumption in the big environment is relatively bad, and everyone can’t make higher-level consumption. The World City pays more attention to doing some "lipstick effect" industries, such as eating a meal and watching a movie. In addition to introducing stores with their own traffic, World City started late-night operation in July, and many stores have posted the words "Midnight Food Store", and the business hours have been extended to 2 am, of which Haidilao is open 24 hours a day.

　　Jassamyn Liu, the manager of a yogurt house in the World City, remembers that after zero, the number of consumers decreased obviously. But from time to time, tipsy customers from the opposite bar turn in and order a cup of yogurt to relieve the hangover. What impressed her the most was that the store closed immediately, and a foreigner couldn’t find other restaurants nearby. He sat in the yogurt house for more than 3 o’clock in the morning and buried himself in three bowls of yogurt. In Jassamyn Liu’s view, even in the middle of the night, people still have a demand for food and beverage.

　　In just one month, "Midnight Food Store" gave a beautiful report card. According to the data provided by the Chaoyang District Bureau of Commerce, World City is the only high-end dining block in the CBD of Chaoyang District that is open late at night. From 22: 00 pm in June to 2: 00 am the next day, the daily average passenger flow of stores in World City increased by more than 40 times, reaching nearly 10,000 person-times.

　　However, the extension of business hours will inevitably bring about an increase in costs. Yang Wenxin introduced that the opening of the World City project in Midnight Food Store will increase the cost by about 1.2 million yuan per month. In the view of Fang Xuhu, assistant general manager of Hu Da Restaurant, the head office is open 24 hours a day, and the staff cost will definitely increase, but they are more concerned about creating an atmosphere of night economy and gathering popularity for Guijie.

　　24-hour business also poses more challenges to the operation and management of the store. Every night, there are more than 50 waiters in the front hall of Hu Da Head Office shuttling between the private rooms and the lobby, and more than 50 chefs in the back kitchen stir-fry all the time. Cao Wenli, the manager of the head office, is concentrating on checking every process of the hotel. After two o’clock in the morning, the long queue ended, but the hall was still full of customers. People’s rhythm slowed down, but the manager Cao didn’t dare to relax.

　　During this time, people are most likely to drink and make trouble. "Now we are drinking late at night, and the cups touch together, all of which are the sound of broken dreams." The poet Kitajima wrote in A Visitor from Poland. And waiters in Hu Da must always be alert, most afraid of hearing the sound of broken cups.

　　Night economy ≠ night market

　　In addition to catering, the traditional place of nightlife — — Bars and nightclubs are not encouraged.

　　In the researchers’ view, this time, the government tried to create an "upgraded version" of the night economy in the past, and some people said it was version 2.0 of the night economy, which was different from version 1.0 spontaneously formed by the market in the past. The 1.0 version of the night economy is dominated by night markets and bars, but it has gradually shrunk in recent years under the influence of various factors.

　　The night market has always been a missing link in Beijing’s night economy. The civilian open-air night market has been banned, and even the Wangfujing Donghuamen snack street, which foreign tourists love to punch cards, has been shut down and transformed. The open-air barbecue has not been allowed for many years, and there are fewer and fewer civilian nightlife methods. On the other hand, high consumption at night has become a roadblock for ordinary people’s nightlife. Beijing has never lacked the legend of profligacy at night. Some WeChat official account once broke the news: In 2016, Wang Sicong threw 2.5 million yuan at KTV one night. Some people lamented: "I drank a house in Beijing’s East Fifth Ring Road."

　　Zhang Bairui, deputy director of the Institute of Urban Studies of the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, told China Newsweek that in the past, night economy was a minority research field in the mainstream domestic economics and public policy fields. Some policy makers do not have a comprehensive understanding of the night economy, and often associate the night economy with specific consumption symbols such as bars, nightclubs and food stalls, and even have some negative associations.

　　But to some extent, the bar is an important indicator to measure the level of urban nightlife. "I have a story. Do you have any wine?" For many urban young people, "having a drink" is the sign of the beginning of urban nightlife.

　　The format of bars and nightclubs has also experienced ups and downs in Beijing, among which Sanlitun is the representative. The first bar in Sanlitun was officially opened in 1995, and "Sanlitun North Street", a street adjacent to the embassy district, became popular rapidly in just a few years. In 2002, a debate broke out on whether Sanlitun should be demolished, and the resulting "Sanlitun Bar Street Reconstruction Project" planned to "merge" the bar street with the original site of Sanlitun clothing market that had been demolished. However, this planned "sense of order" does not have much vitality. The original bar consumers soon gathered in another alley, and the "dirty street" quietly rose around 2005. But soon, Sanlitun North and South Street began to be rectified again. This time, it was positioned as a "fashion and cultural block". Many bars that had just obtained business licenses were forced to close because they did not meet the development orientation. Until 2017, another round of large-scale rectification made the "dirty street" completely withdraw from the historical stage.

　　However, with the recovery of night economy in various places this year, the night economy has also gone through the process of re-understanding. The latest research report of PwC Eliot’s "Night Economy Activates City" FUN Life "shows that: from an international perspective, night economy is very diverse. Localization and internationalization, tradition and trend, grounding gas and high night economy often have their own markets. For example, as the most dynamic economic and cultural center in the world and a "city that never sleeps" famous for its 24-hour subway, new york’s nightlife starts from culture. Whether it is the traditional center of Times Square and Broadway, or the East Village and Brooklyn where young people gather, the nightlife is rich and full of vitality.

　　The domestic night economy has also begun to show a diversified trend. 24-hour bookstores, museums, art galleries and Livehouse performance markets have begun to become the main positions for late-night consumption in Beijing.

　　At 9 o’clock in the evening, Zhao Qi crossed the busy Taikooli South District and flicker into Sanlian Taofen Bookstore, which is open 24 hours a day. Compared with the busy neighborhood outside, the bookstore is a bit deserted. Zhao Qi lives nearby. She just quarreled with her family in the evening. She has nowhere to go but to run into the bookstore. The 24-hour bookstore can always provide psychological comfort for some urban night returnees when necessary.

　　Chaoyang District Bureau of Commerce told China Newsweek that Sanlian Bookstore operates at night and is still losing money at present, but it is more for the sake of public service. In order to develop the night economy, Chaoyang District has built 150 24-hour self-service library, 4 city bookstores, and 2 street-level libraries to extend the consumption time.

　　In response to the development of Beijing’s night economy, the National Museum was extended to close at 9 pm every Sunday in summer from July 28th. Guobo’s attempt played a leading role. beijing museum of natural history, China Garden Museum and Beijing Guo Shoujing Memorial Hall all joined the "Museum Night" team.

　　In Zhang Bairui’s view, compared with other cities, the biggest advantage of Beijing’s night economy lies in culture and technology. The head of the Consumption Promotion Department of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce told China Newsweek that no city in China has more cultural resources than Beijing. There are more than 160 museums, more than 50 art galleries, a large number of public libraries, private libraries, zoos and various historical and cultural attractions in Beijing, all of which are the blue ocean of "night economy" to be developed.

　　However, in Zhang Bairui’s view, Beijing still has great potential to enhance the value of culture and technology in the night economy. The index report of city night tour released by the New First-tier City Research Institute also points out: On the whole, the night economic development of each city is still in the primary stage, and there are few night activities and night tour places with different attributes, so there is still a lot of room for development.

　　The Dilemma of "Elephant Turning"

　　As the special status of the capital, Beijing has both special endowments and many constraints in developing the night economy.

　　Fang Xuhu, assistant general manager of Hu Da Restaurant, told China Newsweek that in July this year, the Guijie Chamber of Commerce, composed of Guijie merchants, and 36 merchants, planned to hold a "No Night Festival" during the summer peak hours to extend the business hours and attract more people to Guijie. In order to hold this event, the Chamber of Commerce needs to go to at least 10 departments including Dongcheng District Transportation Commission, Food and Drug Administration, and Emergency Office for filing and approval in advance.

　　But this plan was initially opposed by many departments. "Guijie Chamber of Commerce has no choice but to find feedback from Dongcheng District Bureau of Commerce. The Bureau of Commerce finally invited the district head to come forward and convened the heads of various departments to hold a coordination meeting to develop the night economy." Fang Xuhu recalled that after this coordination meeting, Guijie Chamber of Commerce clearly felt the reversal of attitudes of various departments, stopped unanimously opposing, and began to emphasize precautions and emergency plans, and then said, "We will cooperate with you, and you should regulate yourself."

　　Being in the political center, Beijing’s demand for order and stability is overwhelming. For a long time in the past, Beijing has invested a lot of energy in rectifying the appearance of the city. Open-air barbecues, nightclubs, bars, food stalls and other projects that are prone to potential safety hazards and frequently receive complaints about traffic, environmental protection and noise have become key management targets.

　　For several years in a row, Guijie Street has been the focus of rectification. At the end of March 2014, the urban management, public security, traffic control and other departments of Dongcheng District and Beixinqiao Sub-district Office jointly took action to dismantle the lanterns and light box advertisements that had been hung in more than 40 stores on Guijie Street for many years. In 2016, Guijie was selected into the list of "sparse function and population control" in Dongcheng District, Beijing, and then it was upgraded: the sidewalks were widened and greenery was added. No parking was allowed on the roadside, but it was concentrated in nearly 200 parking spaces around Guijie. Even, in order to improve hygiene, the melon seeds knocked by the guests were replaced with corn flakes.

　　Guijie Street has changed from the original "dirty mess" to a model dining street, and the transformation has been satisfied by the surrounding residents, but the merchants can’t hide their disappointment. Fang Xuhu remembers that in the winter of 2017, many shops in Guijie Street also suffered from the cold winter of passenger flow. Guests can’t park on the street, and the queue atmosphere of fireworks is lost. The business in Hu Da has dropped by nearly 50%. "Guijie Street is clean and tidy now, but the business atmosphere is not as strong as before." Some shopkeepers he knew could not bear to lose money, and they moved away after the contract expired, feeling that "Guijie is no longer the Guijie of the past".

　　The prosperous scene spontaneously formed in the past has been pulled back and forth in the repeated policies and criticized by many people as the root cause of the lack of vitality in the night economy. But for the management, "laissez-faire" is unrealistic and unacceptable. How to coordinate the relationship between tourists and residents, residents and businesses, businesses and the government tests the level of urban night governance.

　　A staff member of Chaoyang District Bureau of Commerce visited Shanghai and Chengdu, and he obviously felt that the "outward swing project" in these places was relatively open in management. Shanghai’s "outdoor display project" of night economy already has a set of mechanisms. The local commercial bureau can coordinate the streets and law enforcement departments and have a standardized access mechanism for night display, while Beijing is not so easy.

　　In the new round of night economic boom, how to explore more inclusive supervision methods has become a new topic that all localities must face. Chaoyang District Bureau of Commerce told China Newsweek that as one of the landmarks of "Night Capital", Sanlitun business district is conducting a pilot project of outward display, which is different from the disorderly state in the past, and has stricter norms on environmental protection and safety.

　　The development of "night economy" sometimes means that some governance methods in the past must be re-examined or even "adjusted back". The Bureau of Commerce of a certain district in Beijing told China Newsweek that this year, a coordination meeting has been held with various departments to explain the night economic policy to different departments, but many departments did not understand it at first. "Some neighborhood offices complain that they have been treated in the past few years ‘ Open a wall and make a hole ’ It took so much effort to solve the small business hawkers, and now let them out. " After several coordination meetings, each department slowly understood the policy and appropriately liberalized the scale.

　　The assessment standards for some departments also need to be changed. The staff of the above-mentioned Bureau of Commerce told China Newsweek that Beijing has implemented "12345" as soon as complaints are received, and the government will regularly inform the streets and departments with lower rankings based on the response rate, settlement rate and satisfaction rate. However, the development of night economy may increase the complaint rate. Under such standards, the assessed units are under great pressure. "It is possible to be strict economically at night in order to fulfill their duties. Therefore, to develop the night economy, it is necessary to gradually improve the supporting contents such as assessment standards. "

　　"The development of night economy should be market-oriented, and the government plays an encouraging and guiding role." Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce told China Newsweek frankly.

　　Some scholars also suggest that the government should not only cultivate, but also get rid of excessive regulation that is not conducive to night consumption.

　　Night Economy in Beijing: Counter-attack of First-tier Cities

　　China News Weekly reporter/Yang Zhijie

　　September 16, 2019 China Newsweek, No.916.

The requirement for people to buy a car now is not only comfortable, but also other aspects such as configuration, power, materials and workmanship are important reference factors. The richness of the configuration is closely linked to the cost performance of a car, and many people have mentioned it. The following small series will tell you in detail.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of Polo first. The front face style of Polo is very solid, and it is very recognizable with the penetrating net. Coupled with headlights, it adds a bit of exquisiteness. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, front fog lights, automatic opening and closing, delayed closing and so on. Coming to the side of the car, the size of the car body is 4053MM*1740MM*1449MM. The car adopts comfortable lines, giving people a very atmospheric feeling. With large-sized thick-walled tires, it gives people a very fashionable and simple feeling. In terms of the rear end, the rear end looks very domineering, and the taillights look very individual. Coupled with the unique exhaust pipe, the overall layout is impressive.

Sitting in the car, the overall visual effect of Polo interior is very distinctive, reflecting the sense of design. The steering wheel of the car is eye-catching, made of genuine leather, and its shape is very fighting. Let’s take a look at the central control. The design of the center console is reasonable, which makes the interior style impressive and gives people a feeling full of elegance. Finally, let’s look at the dashboard and seats. The car is equipped with a stylish and generous dashboard, which looks strong in technology. The car adopts a leather/fabric mixed seat, which is wide and thick, further improving the comfort of drivers and passengers.

Polo matched with automatic manual transmission (AT) gearbox, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 13s, and the power performance is good, which is completely OK for daily use.

The performance of Polo trunk space is relatively good, the opening size is in line with the positioning of its family car, and the family’s storage needs can be met. At the same time, the car is equipped with anti-lock braking (ABS), LED daytime running lights, brake assist (EBA/BAS, etc.), braking force distribution (EBD), traction control (ASR/TCS, etc.), main driving airbag, co-pilot airbag, side airbag curtain, front side airbag and other safety configurations.

The model class introduced today is the most considered class when many people buy their first car, mainly because the size of this class is moderate and the price is reasonable. If you are also considering this car, you might as well go to the store to experience it at the weekend.

Special topic: Israeli army’s large-scale air raid on Gaza Strip.

Wounded Gaza child in father’s arms.

On December 28, smoke billowed from a place in the Gaza that was attacked by Israeli troops.

　　For the second day in a row, a large-scale air strike was carried out in Gaza, and more than 1,000 people were killed or injured in 250 bombings.

　　Israel recruits soldiers to prepare for ground war.

　　Comprehensive Xinhua News Agency report

　　Israeli warplanes attacked Gaza for the second consecutive day on the 28th, targeting security facilities, religious sites and television stations. The death toll in Gaza rose to 285. Israel has mobilized reserve soldiers at present, and military operations may continue. The international community stepped up mediation efforts that day, and the United Nations called for an immediate ceasefire. Egyptian officials and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas discussed how to stop the escalation of violence in Gaza.

　　Gaza residents try to stay at home.

　　After launching air strikes against Gaza’s security facilities on the first day, the Israeli army expanded the bombing scope on the 28th. The most obvious target of the bombing that day was a prison in Gaza, killing at least four people and injuring 25 others.

　　The bombing severely damaged this facility, and some prisoners held in it took the opportunity to escape, and some of them were taken back by the police of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance (Hamas), which controlled the Gaza Strip.

　　Minutes after the bombing, Hamas police inserted the organization’s green flag back into the ruins of the building.

　　Earlier, Israeli warplanes bombed a mosque next to the main hospital in Gaza. This mosque is a shelter for armed men.

　　The Hamas TV station in Gaza was also bombed that day, but the TV station was still broadcasting programs by using mobile transmission equipment.

　　In addition, the Israeli army also blew up an oil tanker in the southern part of the Gaza, causing a fire, and more than ten houses were damaged by fish in the pond. A warehouse storing medicines was also attacked.

　　In Gaza, residents try to stay at home, and only a few people are waiting in line to buy food on the street.

　　Hamas police put coats on their black uniforms and walked as close as possible to the wall to avoid being seen by Israeli pilots in the air.

　　By the 28th, Israel had launched about 250 attacks on the Gaza in the past 24 hours. Moeya Hassanain, a health official in Gaza, said that the air strikes killed at least 285 people, including more than 190 policemen in Hamas. More than 900 people were injured.

　　The Israeli army will also expand the scale of the attack.

　　The Israeli cabinet held a meeting on the 28th and decided to mobilize more reservists. At the same time, the Israeli government and military announced that they would expand the scope of attack, and ground attack was also one of the options.

　　Aved Yehezkel, cabinet secretary of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, said after the cabinet meeting that it was decided that Israel would mobilize more reservists in the next few days. He didn’t specify how many people would be mobilized.

　　Agence France-Presse reported that a senior Israeli official, who asked not to be named, would mobilize 6,500 reservists.

　　Before the meeting, Israeli Defense Minister ehud barak said that the Israeli army would expand the scale of the attack. He said that if necessary, ground troops will be sent.

　　At the cabinet meeting, Olmert told the cabinet members that the attack on the Gaza would be "long, painful and difficult" and Israel would face the pressure from the international community.

　　Following the rocket that killed an Israeli the day before, Israeli militants continued to fire rockets into southern Hamas on the 28th, and the farthest rocket hit near Ashdod, 38km away from Gaza.

　　This is the farthest rocket attack by Pakistani militants. There are no reports of casualties caused by the attack.

　　Abbas went to Egypt to promote peace through diplomacy.

　　Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian National Authority, went to Egypt on 28th to discuss with Egypt what the League of Arab States can do to stop Israeli air strikes.

　　Egyptian Foreign Minister ahmed ali abul gheit said that the Arab League will hold a meeting of foreign ministers on the 31st of this month, and it is expected that a plan will be adopted to urge Hamas to renew the peace agreement with Israel.

　　Israeli and Hamas-dominated armed factions in Gaza reached a ceasefire agreement in June this year. After the ceasefire agreement expired on December 19, the two sides did not renew it. Hamas then fired about 100 rockets and mortars into Israel, causing no Israeli casualties.

　　Abbas leads the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) which controls the West Bank.

　　He said in Egypt on 28th that before the ceasefire expired, Fatah called on Hamas to renew the agreement, but failed. He believes that if the ceasefire agreement is renewed, the Palestinian side will not be attacked by Israel.

　　[Reaction from all sides]

　　China opposes the use of force.

　　On the 27th, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Qin Gang answered a reporter’s question on the current situation in Gaza. Qin Gang said: China is seriously concerned about the escalation of tension in Gaza due to the Israeli military action in Gaza. China condemns acts that cause civilian casualties, opposes the use of force to resolve disputes, and calls on relevant parties to exercise utmost restraint and resolve their differences through dialogue.

　　The Council called for an immediate ceasefire.

　　In response to Israeli air strikes in Gaza, the UN Security Council held an emergency meeting at around 22: 00 on the evening of 27th. The meeting ended in the early morning of the 28th, and issued a statement drafted by the Russian side, calling on both sides to immediately stop the violent conflict.

　　The United States and Britain refused to call for a ceasefire.

　　According to the British "Sunday Times" report, after Israel’s air raid on Gaza on December 27th, both the United States and Britain refused to call on Israel to stop its military action against Gaza.

　　The largest air strike launched by the Israeli army on the Gaza in decades indicates the complete failure of US President Bush’s peace mediation efforts in the Middle East. After the air raid, the White House accused Hamas of provoking Israel to retaliate.

　　Recently, the Guangdong fire WeChat official account issued a notice that in early March, a private car in Huizhou City suddenly exploded while waiting for a red light, and then quickly burned and caught fire. It is understood that the vehicle was driven by a driver at the time, and the explosion caused the fire was placed in the trunk, driving a folding electric bicycle.

　　Electric bicycle fire safety hazards have attracted widespread attention. The driver’s electric bicycle spontaneously ignited, causing the customer’s vehicle to be burned, who will bear the loss? How should the driver improve the safety of electric bicycles? On these issues, Yangcheng Evening News reporters conducted an investigation and interview.

　　Driving: Fewer big brand electric bicycles are selected, and the battery will be replaced regularly

　　Reporters searched for relevant coverage and found that the accident in Huizhou was not an isolated case. In July 2021, a woman in Zhongshan City called a driver for drinking at a dinner. The driver placed the electric bicycle behind the trunk of the vehicle. The two were about to get on the bus. Unexpectedly, the electric bicycle caught fire and caused the trunk of the vehicle to burn. Subsequently, the fire arrived in time to put out the fire.

　　As the number of motor vehicles continues to increase, the market demand for chauffeur services is also increasing. When the owner is not suitable for driving due to reasons such as alcohol consumption or fatigue, choosing chauffeur services is a responsible behavior for safety. Due to the advantages of affordable and convenient electric bicycles, most chauffeurs use foldable electric bicycles as transportation tools, and place them in the trunk of the customer’s car when providing chauffeur services.

　　Yangcheng Evening News reporter booked a driver service on a certain driver platform, and Master Chen, who grabbed the order, has 15 years of driving experience. He told reporters that he has been a driver for five or six years.

　　The reporter observed that the folding electric bicycle used by Master Chen is relatively old in appearance, and the paint on the body is more worn. Master Chen said that the driving platform will not equip the driving personnel with electric bicycles, so they need to buy them themselves. "The car is a miscellaneous brand." When asked by the reporter how to ensure the safety of the miscellaneous electric bicycle, Master Chen said that he will go to the familiar electric bicycle salesperson to replace the battery every year.

　　Mr. Chen said that the platform will take about 23% of the income of each driver. According to the agreement signed between the driver and the platform, each driver is insured. "In the event of an accident, such as scratches and collisions, it is basically insured." He also introduced that if there is a major accident, report it to the platform for insurance. After the platform handles it, the contract with the driver will be terminated, and the contract will not be signed again in the future. "So if the accident is not serious and the cost is not large, you usually lose money to solve it yourself."

　　Another driver on the same platform, Master Peng, did not disclose the brand of electric bicycles he uses. He introduced that when signing a contract with the platform, the platform will provide relevant training for each driver, including requiring the driver to buy a 3C-class electric bicycle and maintain it frequently to ensure the safety of the electric bicycle. "We usually change the battery more than once a year. The key is not to modify it, and it is more dangerous to modify it."

　　He also mentioned that when signing a contract, he has to pay the platform a fee of one or two thousand yuan, part of which is the insurance fee. "It is said that the maximum insurance can be two or three million yuan."

　　Expert: The quality of the driver’s folding car is uneven, and regular maintenance and self-inspection are required

　　According to authoritative data, the current domestic electric two-wheeler market has exceeded 300 million, and the market size of China’s electric two-wheeler industry has reached the world’s first. According to the 2021 national fire rescue team response and fire situation data released by the Fire and Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Management, there were 748,000 fires reported by the national fire rescue team in 2021, including nearly 18,000 fires caused by electric bicycles and their battery failures and 57 deaths.

　　Lan Shiyou, executive chairperson of the Guangdong Electric Vehicle Chamber of Commerce, introduced that the folding electric bicycles are a niche category in the industry, and the production enterprises are mostly small and medium-sized, so the quality is uneven. In addition, the folding electric bicycles have rigid requirements for batteries, such as long battery life and small size, so there are situations in the market where vehicles are illegally modified to extend the battery life. "If the quality is not up to standard and illegally modified, there is a risk of fire."

　　Mr. Lan said a healthy battery would be safe in the face of vibration during driving because manufacturers take into account the vibration intensity under normal driving conditions. "However, if the electric bicycle itself has safety hazards such as loose wiring and illegal modification, coupled with bumps and vibrations during driving, there is a risk that the battery will short-circuit and cause a fire."

　　In addition, Lan Shiyou stressed that the poor maintenance of electric bicycles is another cause of fires. "Maintenance includes regular battery replacement, self-inspection of vehicles, etc. At present, many owners lack awareness of maintenance, but this is very important."

　　Most electric bicycles use lithium batteries, "and the characteristics of lithium batteries themselves are that they are more prone to energy overflow." Therefore, at present, it is unrealistic to completely eliminate lithium battery fires. But there are still many ways to greatly avoid electric bicycle fires.

　　Lan Shi has suggested that when buying an electric bicycle, you should try to choose a big brand, that is, a 3C certified vehicle, and replace the battery regularly, and do not illegally modify the electric bicycle. Secondly, electric bicycle owners can check whether the vehicle line is aging and off-line, whether the connector is loose, and whether the battery part is bulging, leaking, damaged, etc. Self-test.

　　In addition, he believes that the driving platform should strengthen supervision. "The platform can centrally purchase folding electric bicycles with guaranteed quality for the driving riders, form cooperation with the electric bicycle brands, and tailor the driving models with longer battery life; or collect the brand, model and photos of the driving riders’ electric bicycles in a timely manner, and determine whether the vehicles have safety hazards through the identification of technical experts."

　　Lawyer: The owner can ask the platform for compensation, and the platform can recover if the driver is responsible

　　The fire that took place in Huizhou in early March, according to the photos leaked after the incident, showed that the vehicle was almost burned out, leaving only the outer frame. According to some netizens, the car itself is worth a lot, and it will be a lot of money to recover compensation.

　　If a car owner encounters such an incident, how should they protect their rights and interests? What responsibilities should the driver and the driver platform bear? The reporter asked the lawyer about relevant legal issues.

　　Lawyer Zhou Hao, a senior partner of Yingke Guangzhou, introduced that legal liability should first be distinguished. If the authoritative department identifies that the cause of the accident is the quality of the electric bicycle itself causing the fire, then the driver should be held responsible. At the same time, the driver can recover from the seller or manufacturer who purchased the electric bicycle.

　　Liao Taoye, deputy director lawyer of Guangdong Datong Law Firm and secretary-general of the Lawyers Research Association of Guangdong Law Society, believes that the driver platform should bear compensation for the incident. After the driver platform compensates, if the driver is responsible, the driver platform can recover compensation from the driver.

　　"When a car owner places an order on the driving platform, a service contract relationship is actually formed with the driving platform. The owner is obliged to pay the driving fee, and the driving platform is obliged to assign the driver to complete the driving service and safely send the car to the place designated by the owner." According to Article 186 of the Civil Code, if the personal rights and property rights of the other party are damaged due to the breach of contract of one party, the injured party has the right to choose to ask it to bear the liability for breach of contract or tort liability. "Therefore, in this incident, if the vehicle is damaged due to the driver assigned by the driving platform, it is a breach of contract by the driving platform, and the driving platform shall compensate the owner for the loss."

　　As a new business model, the relationship between the driving platform and the driving personnel is still controversial. Liao Taoye believes that according to the current common platform dispatch, driving, and platform commission models, the driving platform and the driving personnel may be both labor and employment relationships. That is, the driving behavior of the driving driver is his duty behavior, and the driving platform shall bear the consequences. If the driving driver is obviously at fault in performing his duties, the driving platform can recover compensation from the driving driver after compensating the owner for the loss.

　　"If there is a labor relationship between the driving platform and the driving agent, you should buy five insurances for the driving agent. Other insurances are not yet mandatory, but it is recommended that the driving platform can purchase corresponding insurance to better protect the interests of customers, driving agents and the platform."

　　Zhou Hao believes that under the employment relationship, the chauffeur platform should also purchase sufficient insurance for the chauffeur to reduce the risk, and cannot avoid responsibility in order to reduce costs. "I think in judicial practice, it should be inclined to protect the chauffeur personally."

　　In such accidents, are the owners themselves responsible? Zhou Hao said that if the conclusion of the accident is clear that the fire of the electric bicycle on behalf of the driver caused the vehicle to be damaged, then the owner himself is not responsible. "The owner can fulfill the general duty of care, such as whether the driver has drunk alcohol or has a driver’s license." If the owner is required to check whether the electric bicycle has a fire hazard, it adds an obligation to the owner.

Original title: Xiaodu at home smart speaker video review, smart speaker with screen is really amazing

foreword

I have been paying more attention to the smart speaker category, and now smart speakers have been fully integrated into my life.

About a year ago, Amazon released a smart speaker with a screen Echo Show, and domestic smart speaker pioneer JD.com – Ding Dong also released a smart speaker with a screen at CES earlier this year, Ding Dong PLAY, but it actually became a product and officially launched in China. It is the "Xiaodu at home" that you want to experience today.

Smart speakers should not have a screen, which used to be a very popular discussion after Amazon released the Echo Show. Many technology media came out to post articles, with praise and criticism, and it seemed that the criticism was greater than the praise. But whether the experience of having a screen is good or not, please follow me.

unpacking

The packaging of "Xiaodu is at home" is quite simple, and the pure white hard carton is printed with hot silver. The product name on the front is marked as jointly produced by Baidu and Xiaoyu at home.

On the back of the box is some necessary information for product packaging, and there is no excess.

Open the heaven and earth cover, and what you see directly inside is the main body of the fuselage embedded in the blister packaging.

Take out the main unit, and there is a small box below to put the transformer.

Transformer output power 12V 2A.

exterior display

Xiaodu has four body colors to choose from at home, and I chose a bright "Rock Red".

From the front, Xiaodu’s appearance at home is quite similar to that of the Echo Show, except that the position outside the screen is completely wrapped in fabric material, which is more visually gentle

The side and back are quite different from the Echo Show. It feels a bit like a traditional cylindrical speaker with a screen on the front. There is a power switch on the top. Since the screen is a touchscreen, there is no need to add too many buttons, and most operations can be performed directly on the touchscreen.

There are silicone foot pads at the bottom, and there are Micro USB ports and power ports in the semi-circular hollow position.

The weight of the whole machine is not heavy, 0.834 kilograms, about one and a half catties.

Town Building Map

After unpacking, even if you enter the real experience evaluation process, put a map of the town building before that. This picture is not to brag about how many smart speakers I have, but to show that I have indeed experienced and tried most of the smart speakers on the market. After a long time of use and experience, I have learned about the current mainstream technical level of the smart speaker category, and can objectively evaluate the quality of a product. The following review and experience are based on my experience of using the vast majority of smart speakers on the market.

boot configuration

Press and hold the top power supply for three seconds to turn it on, and the boot screen shows the product name, "Xiaodu Smart Video Speaker at Home", jointly produced by Baidu and Xiaoyu at Home.

Due to the screen, it is much easier to connect to Wi-Fi. You don’t need to open the APP anymore. You can directly connect to the Wi-Fi network like operating a Pad.

After the device is successfully connected to the network, the APP will be installed and the device will be activated by scanning the code through the APP.

When you open the APP for the first time, there will be some introductions to the selling points of this product.

Xiaodu used Xiaoyu’s user system at home, because I have used Xiaoyu at home before, so I can log in directly.

After logging in to Xiaodu Home, you need to bind your Baidu account again to get Baidu-related services. After the binding process is completed, there will be a short introduction video to watch.

After the APP logs in and scans the code, the binding process is completed. The first user to bind is the administrator of the device. After the device is activated, there is also a short demonstration video and asks if one call is turned on. To turn on this function, the mobile phone can also see the screen shot by the device without the need to answer the device, similar to the function of remote monitoring.

I forgot to take a comparison of the size of the reference object before, so I added it here. I think the volume is more suitable.

practical experience

Several icons on the main screen represent skills introduction, calls and messages, Wi-Fi connection, time, air quality, family member avatars, etc.

Xiaodu used "Xiaodu Xiaodu" as the wake-up word at home. After waking up, all the content Xiaodu heard at home would be converted into text and displayed at the bottom of the screen. Through this information bar, users could intuitively see whether Xiaodu accurately recognized the user’s voice content at home.

With a screen, the information that can be conveyed has an extra dimension. In addition to voice broadcasts, most of the information will also be converted into images and displayed on the screen.

When listening to music, not only can the album cover be displayed, but also the lyrics can be scrolled to display, which is very cool.

Now that he had a screen, he could play videos. Xiaodu was at home and fully connected to the iQIYI platform. All content on iQIYI could be retrieved and played directly on Xiaodu’s home. If he was not an iQIYI member, he would normally watch a 60-second advertisement.

Xiaodu is equipped with a seven-inch screen at home with a resolution of 1024 × 600. The picture quality is relatively average, which is enough for video calls, but it is not recommended to use this device for a long time to watch video content. However, in some scenes, it is quite convenient to have this small screen to watch the content. For example, watch the explanation when cooking, and watch the tutorial when accompanying the child to do crafts. In addition, Xiaodu supports DLNA video output at home, and can voice-demand content and complete the screen projection.

The way to log in to iQIYI is to click Member in the upper right corner to skip the advertisement when an advertisement appears. At this time, the QR code will appear on the screen. Use the iQIYI APP and scan the code to associate the account relationship.

You can make video or voice calls directly at home through Xiaodu. If the other party is already a family member, you can directly initiate a video call or voice call over the Internet without a separate charge. If you just dial a normal phone number, you will need to pay the call fee. Each device comes with 60 minutes of free phone calls, which can be paid later.

actual experience video

Let’s play a practical video. It can be seen that Xiaodu’s recognition accuracy and reaction speed at home are both excellent.

APP

In terms of the APP, users who have used Xiaoyu at home can see that this is basically Xiaoyu’s APP at home, with slight modifications in some small places. But that’s fine, after all, Xiaoyu has been on the market for a long time, and the App has been polished for a long time.

The app is divided into three tabs, namely Voice Skills, Family Interaction, and Discover More.

Language skills are mainly used to explain the functions of this device and related voice commands. Just look at the long picture below.

Before Xiaoyu was at home, his main focus was family care and company, so the function of this family circle was also simultaneously translated to Xiaodu at home.

Family interaction includes audio & video calls, family member management, smart capture, and family albums. For relevant settings, you can see the screenshot below, and the following video will also show you the actual use effect.

Discover more about some settings for devices and permissions. Among them, the child protection function is very intimate. You can set which users can be on-demand, and force a break after 30 minutes of video playback.

Smart speakers need some smart home linkage functions, and Xiaodu’s smart home functions at home can only be regarded as a little bit of water. Devices that can be connected are on the right side of the picture below. There are some devices connected through Broadlink in my home that can be bound to an account and controlled, but the control is limited to basic functions, and there are no customization and scene-related settings.

A summary of Xiaodu’s experience at home

Advantages:

1. With the screen, the content that can be displayed has expanded a lot. In addition to seeing iQIYI videos, you can see lyrics when listening to songs, spelling when asking English, and corresponding pictures or even small videos when checking the content.

2. In addition to being more informative, it also reduces distrust of voice devices. (Here I want to explain what distrust there is with devices that did not have a screen before. For example, if I ask a long mathematical calculation, I believe that as long as the speaker can understand it, it will be correct. But I am not sure if a long mathematical calculation speaker really heard it correctly, and the result reported to me in the end is really what I want to calculate. And with the screen, you can intuitively see the complete calculation formula I said on the screen.)

3. The APP has been relatively mature and has stable functions after being polished by Xiaoyu at home before.

4. Focus on building relationships in the family circle, share photo albums and videos, and bring family members closer together.

The price of 599 does have a significant impact on the market for congeneric products.

Deficiency:

1. As a smart speaker, sound quality is a weakness.

2. I didn’t find the function to disable the microphone. I don’t know if it’s really not there or if it’s hidden too deeply.

3. Smart home is a touch of the water.

　　Qu, a female master of returnees, started a business in China. I didn’t expect that the business was not smooth and the company was difficult to maintain. Once, Qu was sorting out work materials in the study room of a famous university in Haidian District, during which he found that the laptop on the table next to him was unattended, so he extended a thief’s hand. Since then, Zou has committed crimes for more than 10 times. Yesterday, the reporter learned from the Haidian prosecutor that on February 24 this year, the prosecutor approved the arrest of Qu on suspicion of theft. Zou confessed that stealing things is to exchange money and maintain the company’s operations. Jinghua Times reporter Chang Xin

　　> > case

　　People go to eat, computers stay in study rooms.

　　At about 17: 45 on January 16th this year, Dandan (a pseudonym), a student of a famous university in Haidian District, and his classmates left the study room to have dinner in the cafeteria, and put the Apple laptop on the desk in the study room.

　　At about 19: 45, Dandan returned to the study room and found the laptop on the desk stolen. Upon inquiry, it was learned that only a few students were studying in the study room at the time of the incident, and no one noticed that someone had entered the study room and taken away the laptop. Dandan immediately called the police.

　　The police at the Yanyuan police station quickly rushed to the scene. After verification with the school, since January this year, there have been many cases in which articles left by students in the study room have been stolen.

　　Due to the seriousness of the case, Haidian Public Security Bureau attached great importance to it. At 9: 30 am on January 18, a task force composed of the plainclothes investigation squadron of the criminal investigation detachment and Yanyuan police station was set up.

　　> > investigation

　　Borrow students’ computers to leave traces on the Internet.

　　The police seized the surveillance video of the study room and found that at 6 o’clock on January 16, a woman wearing a light coat and a blue hat entered with a white satchel on her shoulder.

　　The woman first walked in the corridor of the study room and sat down when she reached the place where Dandan put her laptop. She turned on her laptop, looked at other students in the room at the same time, and found that no one was paying attention, so she put the computer in her satchel and got up and left. The whole crime time is only more than 5 minutes.

　　The police then inquired about the monitoring of other study rooms where crimes were committed. After a series of cases, it was learned that since January this year, the woman went to the university several times in the afternoon and evening, entered when the students left the study room, and stole the laptops left by the students.

　　The surveillance also recorded a picture that the female suspect had borrowed a computer from a student in the study room. The police managed to find the student and learned that the female suspect borrowed the computer to check things online. According to their online records, the police learned through technical means that the female suspect was Qu, and grasped the woman’s physical appearance through case monitoring. Because of the suspicion that Qu might commit crimes in the school, the task force arranged for the police to stay in plain clothes near the study room.

　　> > arrest

　　Go away after stealing a mobile phone and be caught red-handed

　　At about 18: 50 on January 18, the plainclothes policemen who were guarding found a woman wandering near the teaching building, and then entered a study room. The woman’s appearance was similar to that of the suspect Qu Mou in the monitoring screen, wearing a black coat, a black hat and a black shoulder bag.

　　The police immediately placed control outside the study room. When the suspect walked out of the study room, he controlled it and got a red rice mobile phone from his satchel. The suspect woman introduced herself as Zou. At first, Zou argued that the mobile phone was borrowed from school students to make calls. At this time, a female student walked out of the study room and recognized that the mobile phone was her own. I don’t know when it was stolen by Qu. The police then showed the surveillance video of Zou’s previous theft, and Zou bowed his head and admitted the fact of his theft. Subsequently, the police obtained seven laptops involved in the case from their temporary residence.

　　After the trial, Qu admitted that he had repeatedly entered the study room of the school to steal. The police audited more than 10 cases and obtained 7 laptops and a mobile phone involved. On January 19 this year, Qu was criminally detained by Haidian police on suspicion of theft.

　　> > confession

　　Commit a crime to raise funds for the company

　　Yesterday, the reporter learned from Haidian Procuratorate that on February 24 this year, the prosecution approved the arrest of the suspect Qu on suspicion of theft.

　　According to the prosecutor who handled the case, after the trial, it was learned that the suspect Qu was 31 years old. He studied in France and obtained a master’s degree. In 2015, he returned to China to start a business and start a company. Unexpectedly, the business development is not smooth, and the company is difficult to maintain.

　　According to the prosecutor, on January 1 this year, the suspect Qu Mou came to a famous university in Haidian District. When sorting out the work materials in the study room, he found a Lenovo laptop on the back desk, and the victim went out to work. At that time, there were very few people in the classroom. Qu Mou left this laptop in a black bag that he carried with him in a hurry.

　　After a success, Zou found that this was also the way to make money, so from January 1 to January 18, he committed crimes in the study room of the university many times, stealing Apple laptops, Lenovo laptops, Xiaomi mobile phones and other items.

　　According to Qu, she never looks at the brand when stealing goods, only at the operating system. She only steals from Apple or Microsoft. The first time I stole something, I wanted to use it for myself. The second time, the company ran out of money. I stole a laptop and sold it for emergency. Then I stole it to prepare funds for the future development of the company.

　　In response to this case, the prosecutor reminded that the school is an open place where all kinds of people will appear. There are not only students who study by themselves at school, but also idlers in society. Everyone should ensure the safety of their belongings. If it is a small item such as a mobile phone, you may wish to take it with you at any time. If it is a big item such as a computer, it is best to ask a classmate who is sitting nearby and familiar with it to take care of it.

　　Original title: 2023 Foreign student exchange activities in Guangdong were held in Guangzhou, with nearly 1,000 foreign students from 60 countries participating.

　　On December 18th, 2023, "Charming Guangdong Helps Me Realize My Dream" was held in South China Agricultural University. The event attracted nearly 1,000 foreign students from 60 countries to participate. In the end, three programs, The Road to Dreams by Shenzhen University, Chinese by South China University of Technology, and Youth of Lu Ge by South China Agricultural University, won the first prize of this activity.
