Comment on TV series "Beyond": a tribute to the sports spirit of ice and snow sports


Original title:Present ice and snow sports to pay tribute to sportsmanship

Core reading


The TV series "Beyond" is the first TV series with the theme of short track speed skating history in China, which shows the development of winter sports in China in a novel way.


Beyond transcends the rigid separation of two generations or even three generations used by many industry dramas in the past, but emphasizes unity of mind and common direction, which is particularly commendable.


The TV series "Beyond" with the theme of Winter Olympics is being broadcast in a set of prime files of CCTV. It is a tribute drama of China TV people to the Beijing Winter Olympics, an industry drama about the development history of China’s ice and snow sports, and an inspirational drama that inspires Chinese children to be healthy and far-reaching. It shows the development of winter sports in China in a novel way.


A History of "Transcendence" in Short Track Speed Skating

Development of Winter Sports in China


"Beyond" is the key project of the TV series with the theme of "Our New Era" of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Based on the "North Ice Exhibition and South Ice Exhibition", the play tells the story of three generations of short track speed skaters fighting for the honor of their motherland. While focusing on the development of China’s short track speed skating, the play shows the features of the times with the rapid development of the country, and vividly interprets the Chinese sports spirit of winning glory for the country, selfless dedication, being scientific and realistic, abiding by the law, unity and cooperation, and tenacious struggle. On the eve of the opening of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the work is named "Beyond", which contains the call and confirmation of strength and strength.


At the beginning of Beyond, the photo of Wu Qinghong winning the national speed skating championship was fixed in 1982. At this time, it will be 20 years before China wins the first gold medal in the Winter Olympics. When "Beyond" was launched, it had been 20 years since China achieved a "zero breakthrough" in the history of the Winter Olympics. In the 40 years before and after this, from participating in the Winter Olympics, winning gold medals in the Winter Olympics to hosting the Winter Olympics, from the Winter Olympics with professional competition as the goal to the participation of the whole people in ice and snow fitness, from "when I hear skating and skiing, I think of children in the Northeast" to 346 million people stepping on the snow and entering a new era, China’s winter Olympics experience is refined in the story of Beyond.


Transcendence is the first TV series with the theme of short track speed skating history in China. It started with the establishment of Heilongjiang Short Track Speed Skating Team in 1989 and the recruitment of Qingdao Short Track Speed Skating Team in 2014. In the group images of two generations of coaches and two generations of athletes, the first generation of athletes was transformed into coaches as a link, and the ups and downs of three generations in short track and life experience were connected in series. Different from the previous industry dramas, which mostly used landmark events in the industry to structure the plot, the narrative focus and expressive focus of Beyond were not on the presentation of the victory or defeat of the short track speed skating project, but on the depiction of the spiritual world of the "short track speed skater". The "transcendence" that "transcendence" focuses on is not the transcendence of opponents, not the transcendence of timer scales, but the transcendence of self and the transcendence of inner limitations. This transcendence of inner limitations, such as Chen Jingye’s "giving way" to Zheng Kaixin when he was ahead of the trials, said, "I didn’t let you, I let my team and my motherland"; For example, Zheng Kaixin is willing to leave his hometown and teach Qingdao because it can give Hou Siyuan and Xu Duoduo a life that is no longer embarrassing. The decisive factor for Chen Mian’s final victory over Yan Xiujing was that she cut off her long hair and regained the freedom to slide happily. "The winner is strong, and the winner is strong", and "Beyond" focuses on self-victory, thus profoundly interpreting the Chinese sports spirit.


A youth inspirational drama

Transmission of struggle spirit of generations


Transcendence is an inspirational drama written for youth, not only for one generation, but for every generation. As a long-term story involving all ages, it does not adopt the narrative structure of successive generations of characters, that is, telling the story of one generation and then telling the story of the next generation. Instead, it "mixes" the stories of three generations of short track speed skaters and coaches in China with an intergenerational structure. Thus, the story of Heilongjiang short track speed skating team, which began in January 1989, and the story of Qingdao short track speed skating team, which began in July 2014, slowly unfolded and alternately presented in the form of counterpoint. The traditional narrative style of "two flowers blossom in one tree" is derived from the novel Beyond, which is a fresh style of "two clusters of flowers blossom in one tree" and "Although the heaven and the earth are different, spring happens together". As a result, Zheng Kaixin, a 17-year-old boy who was dragged into the Heilongjiang Short Track Speed Skating Team in 1989, and Chen Mian, a 16-year-old girl who tried to squeeze into the Qingdao Short Track Speed Skating Team in 2014, became "peers" and "surpassed" each other in time and space to interpret short stories, which complemented each other, achieved each other and set each other off.


The cross-narrative of intergenerational roles adopted in Transcendence is not only the "opening way" of the story of this drama, but also the purpose of highlighting the "youth community" in this drama. In Transcendence, Chen Jingye, Jiang Hong, Zheng Kaixin and Chen Mian, Bei Bei and Luo Zhujun are two generations, but their works do not deliberately exaggerate and describe the "generation difference", but spare no effort to highlight the "unity of mind". Chen Jingye’s "big brother" image is similar to Hou Siyuan’s "big sister" image, and Zheng Kaixin’s "relying on talents" expression is similar to Luo Zhujun’s "arrogant" expression. The slogan shouted by the 17-year-old Heilongjiang team is "Longjiang speed skating, win all the medals", and the 16-year-old Qingdao team responded with "Qingdao short track, who else". In the group of works about the history of intergenerational transfer, Beyond transcends the previous practice of using the post-80s and post-90s as the youth characters in many industry dramas to rigidly separate two generations or even three generations, but emphasizes the unity of mind and the same direction, which is particularly commendable. "Transcendence" overlaps the youth stories of two generations in the beginning, and merges the trajectories of two generations in the transition part, and merges the different works of the same work into the symphony that went to the Beijing Winter Olympics.


Transcendence, on the way, is also on the journey. (Author: Yedda Chiu, deputy director of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Television Art Center)

People’s Daily (20th edition, January 20, 2022)


Mala Tang is getting more and more expensive, and it takes 70 yuan to have a full meal.

Wen | Burning Yuan Cao Yang

Editor | Rao Xiafei

"2 pieces of beef +2 or 3 pieces of fat sausage, 8 yuan."

Afei, who hasn’t eaten mala Tang for a long time, made the above sigh after experiencing how expensive a bowl of mala Tang is, and met his colleagues at the mala Tang Ma Spicy Mix downstairs.

Afei said that it is no wonder that everyone is yelling now that "the wallet was pierced by mala Tang", which is really easy to pierce.

"My appetite is relatively small. The meal took about 35 yuan, and the two male colleagues who walked with me spent a bowl of mala Tang near 60 yuan."

In fact, like Afei and his colleagues, there are many consumers who are shocked by the price of mala Tang.

In the little red book, the netizen with the ID "Cherry Maruko" bluntly said in the note "Family, am I too poor or is Mala Tang too expensive?" "If you go to eat Mala Tang after work, you will need 19.5 yuan if you don’t take much." And mala Tang, which is popular in 88 yuan and 99 yuan, is not uncommon.

In the photo that the netizen "basked in", Burning Yuan Yuan saw that the mala Tang of 19.5 yuan probably had a sausage, two baby dishes, two pieces of gluten, a little Flammulina velutipes and two pieces of lotus root slices. So that the netizens in the comment area bluntly said, "This is a black shop" and "I don’t think I have enough to eat like 60 yuan".

Some netizens also pointed out, "Now these mala Tang weighing shops, maocai spicy pot mala Tang, are all like assassins. 15 yuan /250g, isn’t this a pound of 30 yuan? " As said by the above-mentioned netizens, Burning Yuan recently came to a number of weighing mala Tang stores and found that "a pound of meat and vegetables together" seems to have become the industry standard.

But what makes netizens vomit is that Mala Tang is not only expensive, but also has many "pits".

Recently, the blogger "superB Tai" pointed out in the video that "Sean Mala Tang is short of weight. One store peeled 36 grams less, while another store inflated 82 grams of products. " Although Sean Mala Tang responded by saying, "It is mainly due to the irregular operation of the staff involved in the store, resulting in weighing errors, and the above two stores have been rectified immediately."

At the same time, Tik Tok blogger "Barley (Beipiao Edition)" mentioned in the video that he went to eat Sean Mala Tang after a workout and was shocked by the price, so he came to the store again with a scale. Unexpectedly, the same dish was called 0.81kg, but the store weighed 1.06kg..

But the "small details" in the store don’t stop there. In the course of the blogger’s saying "take away-no need to pack the box-ask for the receipt", not only did the price of the same mala Tang change from 29.9 yuan to 26 yuan, but its weight also changed from 1.06 kg to 0.97 kg.

Although in the seven chain mala Tang brand stores visited, Burning Yuan Yuan didn’t encounter the situation of "short weight" and "inconsistent weight before and after" as netizens said, but it also made several new discoveries, that is, "the receipts of chain mala Tang brands are quite mysterious, either recycled or not given", and "the cashier basically doesn’t show the weight and price".

Behind the more and more expensive mala Tang, perhaps, merchants are pinning their hopes for this street snack to be "high-end" and "branded", but at present, it is not easy to realize this hope for mala Tang with scattered brands.

01、How much does it cost to eat mala Tang?

From a serving in 6 yuan to a bowl in 60 yuan now, the price of mala Tang can be said to have been at the forefront of Chinese chain restaurants.

In response to consumer disputes, at noon on a working day, Burning Yuan came to seven different brands of chain stores, including Yang Guofu Mala Tang Jianwai SOHO Store, Sean Mala Tang Jianwai SOHO Store, Liu Wenxiang Mala Tang Fried String International Trade Store, Xiaogu Sister Mala Ban Mala Tang International Trade Store, Lickitung Mala Tang Jianwai SOHO Store, Laojie Hengpan Mala Tang Donghuan Store, and Xu Xiaoshu Mala Tang Fenghuanghui Store.

Among them, Sister Xiaogu and Old Street Weighing Plate are undergoing product operation adjustment. A person familiar with the matter told Burning Yuan that Xiaogu’s sister Spicy Mix Mala Tang Guomao Store was being reloaded. "The snail powder shop now operating on the original site is the former Xiaogu sister."

Also being adjusted is Laojie Hengpan Mala Tang Donghuan Store. The staff of the store told Burning Yuan that the previously sold mala Tang form is now gone, and soon the store will be changed to a rice noodle shop. "But it is the same as the current brand."

Except for these two stores, the other five brands of mala Tang stores are in normal business.

Although the five mala Tang brands are different, their sales forms are basically the same, all of which are "mixed and weighed together with meat and vegetables", and the unit price of the products is similar, and the price of one catty is around 30 yuan.

Among them, the "cheapest" is Sean Mala Tang, which costs 28.8 yuan/kg, and the most expensive is Xu Xiaoshu Mala Tang, which costs 39.9 yuan/kg. Other brands, Liu Wenxiang Mala Tang fried skewers, Lickitung Mala Tang and Yang Guofu Mala Tang are priced at 29.8 yuan/kg, 29.88 yuan/kg and 29.9 yuan/kg respectively.

"I’m a veteran mala Tang fan, and I’ve been eating it since I was in Yang Guofu or 6 yuan. Up to now, if you choose to eat a bowl of mala Tang in Yang Guofu for a working meal, you need about 25-30 yuan. " Xiang Bin, who is having lunch at Jianwai SOHO in Yang Guofu Mala Tang, said that it is not cheap, but it can’t be said that it is particularly expensive. After all, the prices of many things are rising. "I feel that this is already the average price of eating a bowl of Mala Tang. My male colleagues around me basically spend about 40 yuan."

As Xiang Xiang said, the observation of Burning Yuan in Yang Guofu Mala Tang Jianwai SOHO Store shows that the consumption amount of female consumers is roughly between 25-35 yuan, and that of men is relatively high, generally above 30 yuan, with the largest amount around 40 yuan, but basically not exceeding 50 yuan.

In fact, the price in 50 yuan is far from the high price of a bowl of mala Tang for ordinary consumers. On the same day, a female consumer who dined at Xu Xiaoshu’s Fenghuanghui store told Burning Yuan that her company was upstairs in Fenghuanghui, and she loved spicy food, so Xu Xiaoshu became a high-frequency choice for lunch.

"This mala Tang brand is more expensive than other mala Tang brands, and the basic meal should be around 60 yuan." As she said, the consumer showed the small ticket of her meal to the burning yuan, "The boiled food is 0.847kg, 67.59 yuan; Plus a bottle of sour plum soup 9.9 yuan, a total consumption of 77.49 yuan. "

In addition to "expensive", the vague price tag is also one of the factors that consumers vomit.

Taking Yang Guofu Mala Tang as an example, unlike other merchants’ clearly marked prices, Burning Yuan found that Yang Guofu Mala Tang did not indicate the price in the food area.

Perhaps because it coincided with the lunch peak, there was a constant stream of consumers queuing to choose dishes in the store that day, and the seats were almost full of guests. After watching the food area for about 2 minutes, and shopping for some things, Burning Yuan found that at least in Yang Guofu Mala Tang Jianwai SOHO store, there was no price of food.

At the same time, on the scale of the checkout counter, although the weight of the container has been deducted by 0.350kg, the unit price and total amount are not displayed except the total weight of the food after the consumer puts it on. Moreover, Yang Guofu, which sells mala Tang, does not provide sesame sauce in the free snack area. If you need sesame sauce, you have to pay extra.

With curiosity, Burning Yuan handed the selected dishes to the cashier. Subsequently, the cashier handed the receipt to Burning Yuan. The dishes weighing 0.422/kg totaled 25.15 yuan, and the paid-in amount was 25.10 yuan. The overall consumption amount was basically in line with expectations.

Later, when picking up the meal, although the receipt was taken back as a meal voucher, it was not easy to provide the receipt on its own initiative. After all, in Sean Mala Tang, Liu Wenxiang Mala Tang Store and Xu Xiaoshu Store, only Xu Xiaoshu provided the receipt. After weighing the dishes, the cashiers of the other two companies didn’t offer the receipt at all.

Of course, the three companies still have something in common, that is, when consumers settle accounts at the front desk, the weighing platform does not display the weight and price.

However, what surprised the burning yuan even more was that almost no consumer questioned the price of the dishes, nor did he think that it would be wrong not to give a small ticket.

A girl who dined in Liu Wenxiang Mala Tang told Burning Yuan that when she was eating Mala Tang, she never asked for a small ticket or even asked for the price. "After weighing, she directly scanned the code and paid."

02、Is the rising cost the main reason?

Xiao Xiao, who has been in the industry for several years, has different views on the discussion that mala Tang is becoming more and more expensive.

Xiao Xiao is an independent mala Tang store operator. In his view, the price increase of chain stores is a very normal phenomenon. "In fact, in terms of unit price, it is not only the mala Tang weighed by the above chain brands, but also the string-like mala Tang like ours. In fact, the price is not cheap. There are often male customers in my store who spend 60 to 70 yuan for a meal."

Not only that, there is no uniform standard in this industry. For example, Xiao Xiao said, "Take a fish seed bag as an example. My shop sells 4 yuan money, but in the county towns more than ten kilometers away from me, some sell 6 yuan money, while others sell 8 yuan money. But in fact, no one can explain how much it is worth."

"But we can’t just see the rise in front-end prices and ignore the price increase of the entire industrial chain or raw material costs. Especially in the past three years, the rent cost, labor cost and raw material cost are all rising. Even after the unsealing last year, in fact, this price has not dropped, and this trend of price increase has continued this year. "

Xiao Xiao added, "Seasons will also affect the cost of mala Tang. For example, some special spinach and rape for mala Tang will lead to different prices due to different seasons."

"The first thing is that in the winter when the cost of raw materials is high, stores will increase the price of products as the cost rises. However, in the season when the cost of raw materials falls, basically no stores will follow the price reduction; Secondly, such as fungus, potato chips, gluten and other categories, this creature itself has strong water absorption, and it will undoubtedly be much heavier if it is soaked in water for a long time. "

Of course, netizens are not unaware of this. On the Zhihu, netizens posted in the post "Mala Tang talks about selling by the catty, and vegetarian food costs one price. What is the most cost-effective?" As mentioned in the article, "going there to eat meat dishes is actually a trap. First of all, meat dishes are processed meat, which is cheap; Followed by frozen wholesale, with a lot of water. "

Xiao Xiao said that in fact, the weighing form of mala Tang has only begun to rise in recent years. Take Yang Guofu as an example. It was originally made by portions. "At first, I remember that it was 6 yuan’s money, and then it rose to 8 yuan, and then it was slowly changed to weighing."

"For stores, especially chain stores, the biggest advantage of weighing may be that the model is simple and saves high labor costs." Xiao Xiao added, because the store staff only need to wash the dishes, just put them there. But string is different, all dishes need to be strung, which seems simple, but it is a waste of time.

In Xiao Xiao’s view, there is another key point, that is, consumers’ purchasing power is becoming more and more rational. "I can intuitively feel that consumers’ purchasing power is generally declining this year, but prices are in the opposite state. This will make consumers more intuitively think that Mala Tang’s price increase is too fast. "

Xiao Xiao added that it may be because of these hidden and opaque factors that more and more consumers feel that "mala Tang is ridiculously expensive."

03、Brands are scattered, and high-end is difficult.

In fact, in the eyes of some people in the industry, behind the increasingly expensive mala Tang, perhaps there is a hidden hope that this street snack can also be "branded" or even "high-end". Although at present, it is not easy.

Zhu Danpeng, a food industry analyst in China, made it clear that despite the rapid development of the domestic mala Tang industry, it is still in a relatively low-end operation stage, which may also be the main reason for the constant problems in the industry.

"The domestic mala Tang industry has a history of more than 20 years, but at present, the whole mala Tang is still in the operation stage of lack of standardization, specialization, branding, capitalization and scale."

Zhu Danpeng added that whether it is Sean or Yang Guofu, they do have thousands of stores, and they have also become a "double-leading pattern" in China. But in fact, their proportion in the whole mala Tang market is actually very small, and the whole market still presents a very scattered status quo.

Zheshang Securities Research Institute’s report "Mala Tang First Share, Rapid Expansion of Nugget 2B Supply Chain" points out that Mala Tang belongs to Chinese fast food track. According to the sum of total merchandise transactions, China Mala Tang market increased from 96.8 billion yuan in 2016 to 130.6 billion yuan in 2019, with CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 10.5%. Affected by the epidemic, the market size will be reduced to 114.2 billion yuan in 2020, down 12.5% year-on-year. It is estimated that the market scale will reach 197.3 billion yuan in 2025, and the CAGR of China Mala Tang market will be 11.5% in 2020-2025.

The above report also pointed out that the market concentration of China Mala Tang is higher than that of Chinese fast food as a whole, but it is still highly dispersed. According to the total transaction volume, the market share of CR5 is only 10.2% and that of CR2 is 8.3% in 2020. Yang Guofu ranks first with 4.3%, followed by Sean Mala Tang. There are many malatang chain brands other than "Yangzhang", but the number of restaurants is less than 1000, and the scale gap is obvious.

Another group of data from Narrow Gate shows that there are currently 490 malatang brands in China. Among the seven mala Tang brands mentioned above, ranked by the number of stores, as of April 13th, Yang Guofu Mala Tang, Sean Mala Tang, Xiaogu Sister Mala Ban Mala Tang, Liu Wenxiang Huanan Dawan Mala Tang and Laojie Chengpan Mala Tang ranked among the top five domestic mala Tang brands with 5656, 5646, 905, 884 and 860 stores respectively.

The number of Lickitung Mala Tang Noodles and Xu Xiaoshu’s stores is much less, only 103 and 12 respectively.

Source/Narrow Gate Data

Obviously, the brand also saw the huge potential of the domestic mala Tang market at this stage, so that Yang Guofu, which was still bidding for Haidilao in 2019, turned its attention to Starbucks in 2021.

Yang Guofu, the founder of Yang Guofu Mala Tang, once publicly stated, "Now the price of Mala Tang in first-tier cities is about higher than that in 30 yuan, which is equivalent to a cup of coffee, but the brand of Starbucks is more high-end." And mentioned, "I hope Yang Guofu will form its own brand culture, so that consumers can feel honored when they eat mala Tang".

"But before that, whether it is an old brand or a new brand, the first thing to be solved should be the shortcomings of the mala Tang industry, such as food safety and service awareness." Zhu Danpeng bluntly said.

As Zhu Danpeng said, food safety has always been a stubborn disease that Mala Tang brand is difficult to solve.

On April 17th, # Many online celebrity restaurants in Beijing have food safety problems # attracted consumers’ attention. According to the topic, in 2023, Beijing Municipal and District Market Supervision Bureaus will continue to conduct food safety inspections on chain restaurants, "online celebrity" restaurants, food cities and other catering enterprises throughout the city.

In the bulletin published since January, 2023, among the number of chain restaurants with food safety problems, Sister Xiaogu, Sean Mala Tang and Yang Guofu Mala Tang are all on the list, with 4, 4 and 2 restaurants respectively.

"In addition, the store’s operational capabilities, service capabilities and customer stickiness also need to be improved." Zhu Danpeng further emphasized that at this stage, the chain stores in the franchise mode have weak management and control, and it is obviously not competitive to ensure the integrity of the supply chain.

Zhu Danpeng also said that on the whole, although China’s mala Tang market is still at the node of low-end operation, the rise of its consumer groups with the new generation as the core has just given the brand more imagination, market potential and development prospects. Still available.

Talking about the equation of the first Leopard 5 model Leopard DMO hybrid off-road platform

As the first model of the brand, the Leopard 5 under BYD Equation Leopard is positioned as a new energy hard-core off-road medium and large SUV, which will be equipped with non-loaded body and plug-in hybrid system. Among them, the new DMO super hybrid off-road platform will be the first technical trump card of Leopard 5. What are the highlights of this technology? Let’s take a look at it first.

● The latest information of equation Leopard 5.

  As the first model of Equation Leopard brand, Leopard 5 manufacturers are still very cautious about its information disclosure. Judging from the official information released at present, the new car is built on BYD’s new DMO super hybrid off-road platform, positioned as a medium and large SUV, adopting a design language called "Leopard Aesthetics" and equipped with Yunqi -P intelligent hydraulic body control system. The price of the new car is expected to be around 400 thousand yuan, and the delivery will be completed within the year.

  In terms of performance configuration, Leopard 5 is the first model equipped with BYD’s new DMO super hybrid off-road platform, and Yunqi -P intelligent hydraulic body control system is also equipped. At the same time, the new car will be equipped with two motors and three differential locks (including electronic differential system), which will further enhance the power and the upper limit of extricating from difficulties. In addition, the Leopard 5 will adopt a vertical engine layout and have a comprehensive endurance performance of 1200km. The new car is expected to be unveiled at the upcoming Chengdu Auto Show, and interested friends can pay attention to it.

● DMO super hybrid off-road platform

  The black technology on Leopard 5 is quite rich. In addition to the Yunqi -P intelligent hydraulic body control system (portal), it also adopts a brand-new DMO super hybrid off-road platform, which is the key technical support for Leopard 5 to have super off-road capability.

  Leopard 5 supports fast charging, and it takes only 16 minutes to charge the battery from 30% to 80%. In the case of full oil and full electricity, the comprehensive cruising range exceeds 1200km. Oil and electricity can be used, and long battery life will help users travel all over the country.

■ Longitudinal engine hybrid system

  "DM" in DMO super hybrid off-road platform refers to BYD DM dual-mode hybrid technology; And "O" means Off-Road, which means off-road. Taken together, DMO is the abbreviation of Dual Mode Off-Road, which is a set of hybrid electric platform technology specially developed for off-road

  At the same time, the longitudinal engine also reserves more space for the layout of the double wishbone independent front suspension and the cloud -P system, which is a scheme choice after weighing the advantages and disadvantages of many parties.

■ EHS hybrid special gearbox adopts a new design.

  In addition, although DMO and DM-i both adopt the configuration of double motors in series and parallel, their EHS hybrid gearbox designs are quite different. At present, BYD has not disclosed the specific structure of the EHS hybrid gearbox on the DMO platform.

  SiC silicon carbide power semiconductor components are also one of the necessary technical configurations for the 800V voltage architecture that is being popularized. Leopard 5′ s EHS hybrid gearbox is also integrated with electronic differential system for the first time, which can actively lock when one wheel slips/idles, transfer the driving force to the wheel with adhesion, and improve the passability of the vehicle under complex off-road conditions.

■ Adapted to 1.5T and 2.0T engines.

  DMO platform models will be equipped with 1.5T engine or 2.0T engine, of which the maximum power of 1.5T engine is 143kW and that of 2.0T engine is 180kW, and the thermal efficiency of both engines will exceed 40%.

  Leopard 5 will be equipped with a 1.5T engine. As can be seen from the engine exhibition at the conference site, this 1.5T engine adopts advanced technology configurations such as intake/exhaust variable timing valve system (the intake valve timing adjustment mechanism is in the form of motor control, which can quickly adjust the intake valve timing phase at a large angle to realize Miller cycle working mode with expansion ratio greater than compression ratio), cylinder head with integrated exhaust manifold, direct injection in high-pressure cylinder and pulley-free design.

  This 1.5T engine can achieve very high thermal efficiency in some working conditions, thus further reducing the fuel consumption when the engine (driving generator) generates electricity and when the engine directly drives the vehicle.

■ Low gear and differential lock

  As mentioned earlier, in order to realize the four-wheel drive function, Leopard 5 has arranged a motor on the rear axle, which has a peak power of 285kW and a peak torque of 400N·m, and its power output is stronger than that of the front axle drive motor.

  Because Leopard 5 has no central transmission shaft, its front axle power and rear axle power are decoupled mechanically, which gives great freedom to the distribution of front and rear axle power. When the power of the front and rear axles of Leopard 5 is distributed at 50:50, it is equivalent to locking the "central differential lock", which can make the best use of the road auxiliary force of the upper four wheels and further improve the vehicle’s ability to get out of trouble.

■ Battery pack arranged on the chassis

  The battery pack of Leopard 5 is arranged between two longitudinal chassis beams. BYD officially calls this design "CTC", that is, the battery chassis integration of Cell To Chassis. Leopard 5 has a high-strength double-layer protective plate at the bottom of the battery pack, which can resist the impact energy of 1200J J.

  Leopard 5 adopts BYD’s unique blade battery technology, and the battery level can achieve high safety without explosion and fire in the acupuncture test. The direct cooling and direct heating technology of heat pump is superimposed with active and passive temperature equalization design, so that the battery pack of Leopard 5 can adapt to different temperature environments from -40℃ to 60℃.

  At present, most models sold by BYD are designed with single-layer blade batteries. It is believed that this double-layer blade battery design will become more and more common as BYD’s new cars with non-loaded bodies are listed one after another.

■ Front and rear double wishbone suspension system

  The front and rear suspensions of Leopard 5 are in the form of double wishbone, and the stout control arm gives people stronger confidence in reliability and durability. This suspension system provides a good hardware foundation for Yunnian -P intelligent hydraulic body control system.

  Yunqi -P can adjust the height, damping and stiffness adaptively, and has the function of four-wheel linkage. The system can realize the height adjustment range of more than 200mm, and support the functions of extreme extrication, camping leveling, convenient fetching and so on. At the same time, the multi-damping mode adjustment of urban driving gives better consideration to maneuverability and comfort.

■ It took 4 years to develop, covering 150 off-road working conditions.

  Leopard 5 has been developed for 4 years, covering more than 30 off-road venues and 150 off-road conditions in China, with a cumulative test mileage of more than 1 million kilometers. Under various off-road conditions, Leopard 5 has a bright performance.

■ Leopard U-turn function

  Leopard 5 supports the "Leopard U-turn" function. By making the front and rear wheels at diagonal positions rotate in opposite directions, the turning radius is reduced to 3.4m on off-road roads with relatively low adhesion, which makes it easier for vehicles to pass through some narrow intersections.

  This working mode of reverse rotation of front and rear wheels is difficult to realize in ordinary fuel four-wheel drive vehicles, because these vehicles are driven by mechanical means, and the power of front and rear axles is coupled. Only after the dynamic decoupling of the front and rear axles is realized, can the leopard-like U-turn functions such as looking up at U8 and Leopard-5 be realized.

■ Support the car to charge the car

  Leopard 5 supports 20kW in-situ charging function, that is, let the engine drive the generator to generate electricity, and charge the battery pack with 10% of the electricity in 10 minutes.

  It is worth mentioning that, like other hybrid models of BYD, Leopard 5 also uses 12V Ferrous lithium phosphate starter battery to replace lead-acid battery, which is more environmentally friendly (completely lead-free) and has a longer service life (the same life as the whole vehicle). BYD is the first manufacturer in the world to adopt this technology, which has been used for 6 years.

■ High-voltage electric winch

  Winch is a self-protection and traction device for off-road vehicles, which can be used for self-rescue in harsh environments such as snow, swamp and desert, and may be used for clearing obstacles, dragging articles and installing facilities under other conditions.

Palm oil contains poison and can’t be eaten more? The General Administration of Food and Drug Administration said this

  Recently, the research report of relevant institutions pointed out that palm oil will produce more chloropropanol esters and glycidyl esters than other vegetable oils in the process of high-temperature refining above 200℃. Subsequently, some media reports about the toxicity of chloropropanol ester and glycidyl ester in food attracted consumers’ attention. A few days ago, china food and drug administration released the second issue of Food Safety Risk Analysis in 2017, and organized relevant experts to interpret it.

  Chloropropanol ester is the esterification product of chloropropanol compounds and fatty acids, which can be divided into 3- chloropropanol ester (3-MCPD ester), 2- chloro -1,3- propanediol ester (2-MCPD ester), 1,3- dichloro -2- propanol ester (1,3-DCP ester) and 2,3- dichloro according to the different types of chloropropanol. In recent years, it has been found that 3- chloropropanol esters are detected in cereals, coffee, fish, meat products, potatoes, nuts and hot-processed fatty foods with vegetable oil as raw materials. Especially, the reports of detecting 3- chloropropanol ester in refined vegetable oil and other foods are increasing gradually. Glycidyl ester is the esterification product of fatty acid and glycidyl ester. It is a twin brother with chloropropanol ester, and its formation mechanism is similar. In the process of oil refining, glycidyl ester is usually formed together with 3- chloropropanol ester, and the content of 3- chloropropanol ester is high, so is the content of glycidyl ester. 3- chloropropanol ester and glycidyl ester have become the new pollutants of vegetable oil that attract worldwide attention.

  Second, some studies believe that these two substances have a low risk of harm to human health.

  At present, the toxicological research on 3- chloropropanol ester and glycidyl ester is not systematic. The Hong Kong Centre for Food Safety assessed the exposure of people according to the content of 3- chloropropanol esters in biscuits, vegetable oils, cakes and other foods, and concluded that the health risks of 3- chloropropanol esters ingested through the above foods did not need special attention. The German Institute for Risk Assessment assessed the risk of glycidyl ester intake by European people through vegetable oil, and concluded that glycidyl ester intake by the general population through vegetable oil does not pose a safety risk to health. At present, the published research data in China also believe that the risk of glycidyl ester intake by the general population through food such as vegetable oil is low.

  3. At present, there is no international limit standard for these two substances.

  3- chloropropanol ester may be hydrolyzed into 3- chloropropanol in vivo. In 2012, the Joint Expert Committee of Food Additives of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)/ World Health Organization (WHO) formulated the tentative maximum daily tolerance (PMTDI) of 3- chloropropanol as 2μg/kg per kg body weight. However, the corresponding limit standards for 3- chloropropanol ester and glycidyl ester have not yet been formulated.

  Fourthly, optimizing the refining process can reduce the content of these two substances.

  The results show that the content of 3- chloropropanol ester in oil processing raw materials and unrefined vegetable oil is extremely low, but the content of refined vegetable oil increases significantly, and its content level is related to the types of raw materials of crude oil. Compared with corn oil, rapeseed oil and soybean oil, vegetable oil with pulp as raw material, such as palm oil, is more likely to produce 3- chloropropanol ester. Optimizing the production process can reduce and control the production of 3- chloropropanol ester and glycidyl ester in vegetable oil refining.

  Therefore, experts suggest: First, strengthen analysis and research to provide scientific basis for whether it is necessary to formulate limit standards for these two substances. Second, according to the characteristics of different oil raw materials, for example, some oils are suitable for cold pressing and some are suitable for hot processing, and different processing methods are established. Moderate processing can reduce the formation of harmful substances and avoid the excessive formation of various risk factors. Third, consumers should pay attention to nutrition collocation and food diversification in their daily diet, and take vegetable oil according to the dietary guidelines of China residents (2016) to avoid excessive intake.
