Recently, Fred Lambert, a reporter from foreign media electrek, released a video that was tested in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. The video shows that during the test, this version of the FSD existed many times, that is, the vehicle suddenly slowed down without necessity, and even almost drove the car to a cliff.

Fred was always ready to take over during the test. In this test, Fred only took over once, that is, the time when Tesla FSD Beta V10.12 drove the car to the cliff.

On the whole, during the 13-minute test, the overall performance of Tesla FSD beta version V10.12 is ok, but many times of "ghost braking" and wrong judgment are still frightening, and problems such as "ghost braking" still need to be solved.

Fred said that the reason why he chose to test in the Blue Ridge Mountains is that there are few intersections here and the road traffic markings are clear. He believes that in this environment, Tesla’s FSD will perform well.

This is also the case. In most cases in the test, the computer vision inspection system of FSD Beta V10.12 runs well, and Fred’s Model 3 always stays in the center of the lane.

▲ the path of FSD planning

In the middle of the test, Fred met hikers, who were close to the road and the road was not covered by shoulders. Tesla FSD Beta V10.12 version, then controlled the vehicle to slow down, and even planned to drive a little to the left to make way for the hikers.

However, in addition to these advantages, Tesla FSD Beta V10.12 has some serious shortcomings.

Fred said that the most annoying thing about FSD Beta V10.12 is that the vehicle suddenly slows down without sufficient reason.

The video shows that "ghost braking" happened several times during driving. Although Fred feels that the sudden deceleration is not so obvious when the "ghost brake" occurs, it may only be because the speed of this test is a little slow.

In addition, Fred also noticed that the speed of Tesla FSD Beta V10.12 in controlling the turning of vehicles is also somewhat inconsistent. As you can see in the video, Tesla’s FSD controls the vehicle to slow down at some corners that don’t seem to need to slow down.

▲ FSD controls the vehicle to turn.

In addition, in the 8-mile (about 12.8 km) and 13-minute test, Fred only took over the driver once, but this time it was taken over in a very dangerous situation.

In the 12th minute and 56th second of the test, Tesla FSD Beta V10.12 controls the vehicle to turn sharply too fast. When Fred found that the car was crossing two lanes and heading for the other side of the road, he immediately stepped on the brakes. It was a very scary moment.

▲ Tesla FSD turned sharply and almost threw the owner off the cliff.

Strangely, the FSD beta version V 10.12 should know that there is a sharp turn in this road and it is necessary to slow down the vehicle. Because its speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) slower than the set speed, but somehow it didn’t correctly predict that turn.

In addition, it can be seen from the predicted path (blue line) displayed on the screen inside the car.

According to Fred’s test video, there are still many problems in Tesla’s FSD Beta V10.12 version. Although this version has greatly improved the recognition of some straight roads and vehicles, the problems of "ghost braking" and automatic turning still need to be solved.

This test also reminds Tesla owners that if they use this version of the test software, they still need to be highly vigilant and ready to take over at any time to ensure driving safety.

　　According to the website of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission continues to promote the opening of banking and insurance industry to the outside world, optimize the business environment for foreign investors in the financial sector, enrich market supply, enhance market vitality, enhance competitiveness and promote the healthy development of China’s financial industry. Recently, seven new policies and measures for opening to the outside world have been studied and released.

　　I. Encourage overseas financial institutions to participate in the establishment and investment of financial subsidiaries of commercial banks.

　　The Measures for the Administration of Financial Subsidiaries of Commercial Banks clearly stipulates that financial subsidiaries of banks can be wholly-owned by commercial banks, or jointly funded with domestic and foreign financial institutions and domestic non-financial enterprises. Introducing foreign financial institutions with expertise and international influence in wealth management and investing in bank wealth management subsidiaries is conducive to introducing advanced and mature investment concepts, business strategies, incentive mechanisms and compliance risk control systems in the international asset management industry, further enriching the supply of financial products, stimulating the vitality of market competition and promoting the healthy and orderly development of China’s bank wealth management business. China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission will guide qualified and willing banks to strengthen active contact with relevant foreign-funded financial institutions, and continue to encourage and guide bank wealth management subsidiaries to do a good job in introducing foreign capital.

　　Two, allow overseas asset management institutions and subsidiaries of Chinese banks or insurance companies to set up a foreign-controlled wealth management company.

　　China’s asset management market has a huge scale and development potential, and it is difficult for existing asset management institutions to fully meet the rapidly growing diversified market demand. Compared with international advanced asset management institutions, most of the asset management institutions of Chinese banks and insurance companies, including wealth management subsidiaries, have been established for a short time and have less experience. At present, Chinese banks, insurance companies and foreign advanced asset management institutions are mainly engaged in business cooperation, allowing joint ventures to set up foreign-controlled wealth management companies, which is conducive to introducing international advanced asset management practices and professional experience, promoting the steady development of asset management industry and capital market, giving play to the respective advantages of Chinese and foreign asset management institutions, further enriching market players and business products, and meeting the diversified service needs of investors. At the same time, the existing asset management subsidiaries of Chinese banks and insurance companies can complement each other with their foreign wealth management companies, and develop at a moderate dislocation.

　　Overseas asset management institutions and subsidiaries of Chinese banks or insurance companies are allowed to jointly set up foreign-controlled wealth management companies. In the early stage, pilot methods can be adopted to give priority to supporting the entry of mature and stable wealth management institutions recognized in foreign markets. Both RMB funds can be raised and some foreign currency long-term funds can be raised. In the pilot process, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission will pay more attention to the professionalism, prudence and stability of supervision, pay more attention to the supervision after the event, guide the steady development of institutional compliance through on-site inspection and off-site supervision, sum up the pilot experience in a timely manner, and study and expand the pilot scope in a timely manner.

　　Three, allow overseas financial institutions to invest in the establishment and shareholding of pension management companies.

　　At present, China’s pension management market is dominated by the second pillar enterprise annuity fund management, with limited scale and growth. However, the domestic pension management company is still in the pilot stage, and the pilot adopts the method of one mature company and one approved company. There is only one Jianxin pension management company established by CCB. Allowing foreign investors to set up pension management companies is conducive to increasing the types of subjects, enhancing market vitality, introducing mature pension management experience and improving the level of pension investment management. In the next step, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission will promote the improvement of relevant laws and regulations, and continue to adopt the method of "one mature company, one approved company", and work with relevant ministries and commissions to do a good job in the licensing of pension management companies.

　　Four, support the establishment of wholly foreign-owned or equity money brokerage companies.

　　In 2005, the State Council approved the pilot of money brokerage companies. Since the pilot, five money brokerage companies have been established to actively carry out transactions in foreign exchange market, money market, bond market and derivative products market at home and abroad, which has played a positive role in activating China’s financial market, improving transaction efficiency and reducing transaction costs. At present, the top five money brokerage companies in the world have all participated in the establishment of five money brokerage companies in China through joint ventures.

　　Further increasing the proportion of foreign shares in money brokerage companies is conducive to giving full play to the management advantages of foreign shareholders, improving the operating efficiency of money brokerage companies, promoting orderly competition in the industry, and improving the transparency and transaction efficiency of financial markets. China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission actively supports Chinese and foreign shareholders of existing currency brokerage companies to determine their own foreign share ratios on the basis of equal consultation. At the same time, on the basis of comprehensive evaluation of the impact of newly established currency brokerage companies on the existing market competition pattern, we will steadily promote the establishment of new foreign currency brokerage companies.

　　5. Shorten the transition period from 51% to 100% for foreign-funded life insurance companies to 2020.　

　　On July 2, 2019, Premier Li Keqiang delivered a special speech at the opening ceremony of the 2019 Davos Forum, saying that the original stipulation of canceling the foreign life insurance share ratio limit in 2021 would be advanced to 2020. Abolishing the share ratio restriction of foreign-funded life insurance companies will help attract more high-quality foreign-funded insurance institutions to enter the China market, introduce more advanced business concepts and more diversified life insurance products, enhance the vitality of the life insurance market and provide better services for the real economy. In the next step, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission will promote the promulgation of "Regulations on the Administration of Foreign-funded Insurance Companies in People’s Republic of China (PRC)" and other relevant laws and regulations, and timely implement the regulations in relevant administrative licensing work. At the same time, strengthen post-event supervision and maintain market order.

　　Six, cancel the provisions of domestic insurance companies holding the shares of insurance asset management companies shall not be less than 75%, allowing foreign investors to hold more than 25% of the shares.　

　　Loosening the restrictions on the foreign shareholding ratio of insurance asset management companies is conducive to absorbing the experience and practices of excellent overseas insurance institutions, stimulating the vitality of the domestic insurance asset management market, promoting the improvement of the asset management capabilities of insurance asset management companies, and better serving the preservation and appreciation of insurance assets.　

　　In the next step, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission will promptly revise the Interim Provisions on the Administration of Insurance Asset Management Companies and implement the opening-up measures. While opening wider to the outside world, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission will continue to improve the regulatory requirements of insurance asset management companies, strengthen the management of shareholders’ qualifications, further strengthen the continuous compliance requirements of insurance asset management companies, and effectively guard against various risks.　

　　Seven, relax the access conditions of foreign-funded insurance companies, cancel the 30-year operating life requirement.

　　At present, foreign insurance companies to set up foreign-funded insurance companies in China need to meet the requirements of operating insurance business for more than 30 years. In recent years, with the deepening of opening to the outside world, most foreign insurance companies in Fortune Global 500 have entered China and played an active role in the insurance market in China. The cancellation of the 30-year operating life requirement has created conditions for foreign insurance companies with operating characteristics and expertise but insufficient operating life to come to China, which is conducive to further enriching insurance market players and insurance professional services and promoting the high-quality development of the insurance industry.

　　Welcome more qualified foreign insurance companies to set up business offices in China, combine their advanced experience with the reality of China, and promote each other with Chinese companies in the competition to jointly serve the real economy and the increasingly diversified financial service needs of consumers. China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission will immediately start the revision of relevant laws and regulations, and put them into practice upon completion.

　　Chen Xinfeng, the person in charge of the ecological park, and the staff are carrying out professional leaf splitting, flower thinning and fruit thinning on the elevated strawberries to ensure the quality after listing. This is the second year that he has cultivated strawberries without soil. Compared with the traditional cultivation of strawberries, this cultivation technology has a better planting environment and greatly improved the picking experience of tourists.　

　　

Tourists pick and punch cards in the high-ridge strawberry greenhouse.　

　　"Our main varieties are ice cream strawberries, chocolate strawberries and cream strawberries. The output of each greenhouse is about 4,000 kilograms, and each kilogram can be sold to 45 yuan. From now until June, it is the peak season for picking, and the total income is expected to reach 300,000 yuan." Chen Xinfeng told reporters that the strawberries he planted were well received by the market. In addition to supplying local supermarkets, many customers in Zhengzhou and Luoyang booked them, which was in short supply.　

The person in charge introduced the situation of soilless cultivation of strawberries for tourists who came to pick them.　

　　Inspired by "elevated" strawberries, in 2024, Chen Xinfeng transformed the strawberry greenhouse into a smart agricultural greenhouse to plant "high-ridge" strawberries to improve quality and yield. In the transformation, he raised the ridge by 30 cm with steel frame, which is more suitable for the development of sightseeing and picking agriculture; Adopt intelligent drip irrigation and water circulation heating technology system to accurately control air humidity and nutrient supply, and ensure stable growth environment while saving water and fertilizer; Using physical pest control and biological control technology to replace traditional pesticides to ensure that strawberries are green and pollution-free; Equipped with automatic temperature control and light supplement equipment, so that strawberry growth is not limited by natural conditions; Pure water irrigation is used to provide high-quality and stable water source for strawberry growth and accurately meet water demand. At the same time, he also introduced the drone pollination technology of "low temperature tolerance, no flight and no shed collision", which not only improved the fruit setting rate of strawberries, but also improved the fruit quality, making the fruit shape correct and the taste sweet.　

　　Walking into the meat rabbit breeding base in Hanxi Village, Dading Street, rows of modern breeding cages are uniform, and fat meat rabbits are eating and drinking leisurely. The head of the base, Mao Xing, observed the growth of rabbits and carefully recorded them. "At present, there are 144 groups of modern breeding cages in our base, with a total of more than 3,400 meat rabbits, with an annual slaughter of more than 60,000, which can generate income of 500,000 yuan." Mao Xing happily talked to the reporter about the "rabbit breeding".　

Technicians check the growth of meat rabbits.　

　　There are only three or four workers in the clean and tidy breeding shed, thanks to the automatic breeding equipment introduced by the base. Automatic temperature control technology can adjust the temperature of the breeding shed in time, which is more suitable for the growth of meat rabbits; Set the feeding time on the computer, automatically start the feeding function at the point of arrival, and automatically cut off the power after feeding, feeding 1-6 times a day, which better caters to the physiological characteristics of rabbits with less food and more meals; The automatic excrement cleaning system can automatically clean excrement, reduce ammonia smell and flies and mosquitoes, reduce the disease probability and mortality of meat rabbits, and improve the survival rate of young rabbits. In addition, the rabbit manure is also used as agricultural fertilizer and exported to Fujian and Shaanxi, which increases the economic benefits.　

　　"This meat rabbit breeding project can also increase the income of the village collective by 100,000 yuan every year. In the next step, the two village committees will encourage interested people to learn rabbit breeding technology, so that meat rabbit breeding will become a characteristic industry in the village and a project to increase people’s income." Yao Jialian, secretary of the village party branch, introduced.　

　　The industry is prosperous, the countryside is strong and the villagers are rich. In recent years, mengzhou city has continuously intensified the adjustment of agricultural industrial structure. By increasing the popularization and application of intelligent agricultural technologies such as drones, Internet of Things and big data in agricultural production, it has changed the extensive production management mode of traditional agriculture, improved agricultural production efficiency, improved the output and quality of agricultural products, and promoted the sustainable development of agriculture.　

　　It is reported that in the next step, mengzhou city will promote agricultural modernization and intelligence by cultivating high-quality agricultural skilled talents in the new era, accelerating the application of smart agricultural technology, strengthening the guarantee of data elements, and strengthening the construction of talent teams, empowering the masses with smart agriculture, helping the rural areas to fully revitalize, and painting a new picture of a beautiful countryside with strong agriculture, beautiful countryside and rich farmers.　

　　(Guangming Daily full media reporter Michael Cui correspondent Hou Wei Chen Daoming)　

　　Bitcoin’s "madness" in this round has been somewhat lasting.

　　On January 5, according to the data of Huobi.com, a domestic bitcoin trading platform, at 1: 10 am, the price of bitcoin broke through the historical high of 8,000 yuan three years ago, setting a historical record. As of 8: 45 on January 5, the highest price of bitcoin reached 8650 yuan, and the price increased by more than 260% within one year.

　　The British "Guardian" said that market analysts believe that the main driving force for this round of bitcoin price surge is in China — — In 2016, the RMB depreciated by nearly 7%, the worst performance in 20 years, which triggered a huge demand for Bitcoin.

　　The historical highest price of Bitcoin was 8,000 yuan on November 19th, 2013. A month ago, the price of Bitcoin was still hovering around 1000 yuan, and it tripled in a short time. However, this price fell after less than 1 minute, and then it bottomed out all the way, reaching a minimum of 933 yuan.

　　Compared with that rise, Bitcoin rose slightly steadily this time, from 2,351 yuan in early 2016 to 8,000 yuan in early 2017.

　　Zhu Jiawei, COO of Huobi.com, said that this round of 8,000 yuan market is very different from that in 2013: First of all, the current bitcoin transaction volume is not the same as that of that year. When the highest price of Huobi was 8,000 yuan in 2013, the weekly transaction volume was 393,000 bitcoins, with a weekly amplitude of 103%, which was very small and was greatly affected by funds; Now, when the price of bitcoin breaks 8,000 yuan, the transaction volume in the four days after Huobi Net Festival is 7.35 million bitcoins, which is 37 times of that year’s transaction volume. The price amplitude in the four days after New Year’s Day in 2017 is 15.95%, which is much more stable than that year.

　　In addition, Zhu Jiawei believes that after the application of Bitcoin is promoted, the price tends to be stable. Although Bitcoin rose by 260% from 2016 to 2017, it won the top spot among many investment varieties. However, in the whole year of 2016, according to the data of Huobi. com, the daily price of Bitcoin rose and fell by 10% or more in less than five days, while in 2013, the daily price rose and fell by about 10%.

　　For Bitcoin entering the bull market in the past year, Zhu Jiawei analyzed the reasons: First, the underlying technology blockchain of Bitcoin has been recognized by major banks and financial institutions around the world; Secondly, in early 2016, the central bank held a digital currency seminar to start studying digital currency and blockchain technology; This year, domestic mainstream investment products, including stock market, property market, gold, etc., performed poorly on the whole, while bitcoin rose very well, and funds turned to bitcoin investment channels; Bitcoin halved its output for the second time in July 2016, which also promoted market sentiment fluctuations and pushed up prices.

　　Xu Mingxing, founder and CEO of OKCoin, another bitcoin trading platform in China, analyzed this wave of gains: "According to the laws of the trading market, investment products will rise if they follow a long decline, and will fall if they rise for a long time. Judging from the cycle of Bitcoin, this price increase is a long-term cumulative result after the price peak in 2013. But it is investors’ confidence in Bitcoin that affects the price of Bitcoin for a long time. "

　　The US "Wall Street Journal" reported in May last year that some analysts said that the rise of Bitcoin was mainly driven by the demand in China market brought about by the recent RMB depreciation, and the two major bitcoin trading platforms in China — — Huobi and OKCoin— — At present, it constitutes about 92% of the total global bitcoin transactions.

　　Just as the speculators were ecstatic, the Financial Times "poured a pot of cold water", saying that the value of Bitcoin was zero.

　　"A trading intermediary is always ups and downs, then it is a useless currency. In fact, Bitcoin has all the characteristics of pyramid scams. It requires that believers continue to enter the market to push up prices, and this is based on the promise that more believers will join in the future, so the value of Bitcoin will be the same as that of all pyramid scams. Zero. " The Financial Times reported on January 4th that.

　　In China, bitcoin as a currency has never been recognized by the regulatory authorities. Five ministries and commissions, including the central bank, said in the Notice on Preventing Bitcoin Risks issued in December 2013 that although Bitcoin is called "currency", it is not a real currency because it is not issued by the monetary authorities, and it does not have monetary attributes such as legal compensation and compulsion. In nature, bitcoin should be a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency, and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Chengdu, March 20th Question: Have you found the answers to all the N kinds of legends about Sanxingdui?

　　Xinhua News Agency reporters Wang Peng, Shi Yuxi and Tong Fang.

　　With the announcement of new archaeological discoveries in Sanxingdui site, people’s eyes once again focus on this magical land.

　　Since the discovery of No.1 and No.2 "sacrificial pits" in Sanxingdui site in 1986, people have never stopped discussing it. A large number of shocking and mysterious cultural relics unearthed in the "sacrificial pit" have aroused a lot of speculation in the world.

　　Have you found the answers to those legends about Sanxingdui?

　　Legend 1: Is Sanxingdui an alien civilization?

　　Sanxingdui bronze vertical mask (Xinhua News Agency)

　　Huge ears, bulging eyes, and a big mouth wide to the ears … … Some people who eat melons believe that Sanxingdui is an alien civilization, and the grotesque bronze masks, bronze statues, bronze sacred trees and other cultural relics of Sanxingdui are alien works.

　　Experts are firmly opposed to this statement! The ancient Shu civilization, represented by Sanxingdui, is an important part of the pluralistic origin of Chinese civilization. Among the cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui, bronze statues, bronze rings, jade Zhang, jade cong, jade bi and jade ge are consistent with the Yellow River basin, which shows that Sanxingdui has the common attributes of Chinese culture. The familiar cultural relics with strange shapes and magnificent atmosphere, such as bronze standing man, bronze sacred tree and bronze vertical mask, not only show the brilliance of ancient Shu civilization, but also show the richness and diversity of Chinese culture.

　　In other words, Sanxingdui civilization is "made in China" and has nothing to do with aliens.

　　Legend 2: Sanxingdui people "moved" to Jinsha?

　　The gold mask unearthed from Jinsha site (left) and the newly discovered gold mask in Sanxingdui (imposition picture)

　　The newly discovered gold mask of Sanxingdui "made a stunning appearance", and the sharp-eyed netizens saw at a glance: this is the same as the gold mask of Jinsha! Not only the gold mask, but also the ornamentation, jade Zhang, jade chisel, ivory &hellip on the golden crown belt of Jinsha and the golden staff of Sanxingdui; … There are many cultural relics in the two sites. So can we think that people from Sanxingdui "moved" to Jinsha?

　　Experts believe that this high similarity between Jinsha site and Sanxingdui site proves that they belong to the same cultural system, and there must be some special connection between the two sites. Combined with the archaeological findings in recent years, we can think that Jinsha culture is the inheritance and development of Sanxingdui culture, and both of them have become an important part of the development of ancient Shu civilization.

　　Legend 3: Sanxingdui Archaeological Excavated "Angry Birds" with the same pig?

　　"Angry Birds" with the same pig (Xinhua News Agency)

　　Just last July, Sichuan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology announced that an important site — — Joint site, unearthed a large number of cultural relics. Among them, a clay pottery pig is cute and cute, which is very similar to the villain green pig in Angry Birds. Netizens exclaimed: Is this the predecessor of Angry Birds?

　　In fact, experts believe that the joint site of this clay sculpture pottery pig unearthed should be an important settlement around the ruins of Sanxingdui ancient city. The joint site covers four cultural factors, namely, Guiyuan Bridge, Baodun Bridge, Sanxingdui Bridge and Twelve Bridges. It is the first time that a complete sequence of ancient Shu civilization has been found around Sanxingdui. Among them, the main cultural factors of Sanxingdui are the most abundant in the joint site, and a large number of cultural relics similar to Sanxingdui have been unearthed.

　　There are not only "villain green pigs", but also a large number of high-handled beans, hollowed-out beans (plates) and small flat-bottomed cans have been unearthed and restored at the joint site. It is worth mentioning that the pottery with the combination pattern of dragons and phoenixes carved on the yinxian line was unearthed in the late Shang Dynasty, and it is the earliest pottery with the pattern of "dragons and phoenixes are auspicious" found in China.

　　Legend 4: The "bronze giant" holds a "selfie stick" in his hand?

　　Sanxingdui "Bronze Man" (Xinhua News Agency)

　　Among the numerous bronze statues in Sanxingdui, the "bronze giant" is well known. Its overall image is solemn and solemn, and its hands are hollow. For a long time, people have been speculating whether he holds some kind of instrument in his hand. Even naughty netizens think that he is holding a "selfie stick" in his hand.

　　At present, there is no final conclusion on this issue in academic circles. Experts discussed that the "bronze standing man" may hold ivory, jade cong or scepter. The "Bronze Big Liren" wears a high crown, narrow sleeves and a half-arm-style three-layer dress, with complex and exquisite clothes, mainly dragon patterns, supplemented by bird patterns, insect patterns and eye patterns, and plaid stripes. It seems that his identity is an ancient Shu "high priest" with extraordinary skills.

　　There is no end to the exploration of Sanxingdui civilization.

　　Up to now, archaeologists have unearthed more than 500 important cultural relics in the six Sanxingdui cultural "sacrificial pits" newly discovered at Sanxingdui site.

　　I believe that in the future, through the detection and analysis of these cultural relics, more puzzles about Sanxingdui will be revealed. The true face of this ancient civilization, which has been buried deep underground for 3 thousand years, will become more and more clear.

　　We will wait and see … …

　　Whether the safe-haven value of gold still exists or not has become a hot topic of concern to many market investors. From a fundamental point of view, the price of gold must prove that the annual increase of 1.7% still exists, but the long-term fundamental supply and demand are being questioned and challenged.

　　Chimp Investor columnist Peter Elston mentioned that he considered what he could learn from the long-term price trend of gold, the so-called technicality. The final conclusion is that although the inflation-adjusted return of gold may still be poor in absolute value in the short term, it may still be better than that of stocks, bonds and cash, especially if the inflation rate remains high in the next few years.

　　He also suggested that in the past 50 years, the inflation-adjusted annual appreciation trend of gold price should remain unchanged at 1.7%, because the growth rate of global real wealth may continue to exceed this value. However, this is too simplistic and assumes that the fundamental reason for buying gold will not change much, which should be challenged.

　　This article focuses on the root cause of gold’s popularity, its supply dynamics, and its fundamentals, to see if they still prove that the above historical trend, the actual price increase of 1.7% per year still exists.

　　Gold is an iron-loving element, which means that it is heavy, easy to dissolve in iron, and doesn’t like to combine with oxygen. The oxide of gold is actually thermodynamically unstable. Therefore, its concentration is higher in the deep core and mantle than in the crust. Compared with the very low occurrence rate of the whole crust, the exploitable gold deposits are even rarer. In addition, the mineable deposits have now been exhausted, so that the annual output of gold has been flat since 2016. In the absence of major changes in mining technology and/or a drop in energy prices, this slowdown in annual output may continue.

　　The chemical inertness of gold makes it very suitable for jewelry, electronic products, dentistry, aerospace and value storage as gold bars and coins. The World Gold Council estimates that by the end of 2021, 205,238 tons of gold have been discovered/mined in the past 6,000 years, and the proven unexploited reserves total 53,000 tons, the latter figure is lower than 54,000 tons in 2019. It is also estimated that there are 15,000 tons of gold dissolved in the world’s oceans, equivalent to about 10 parts per trillion.

　　It is the inertia and rarity of gold that endows it with intrinsic value, that is, its practicality and practicality. Warren Buffett once wrote a famous saying that gold is dug out of the ground in Africa or somewhere, and then we melt it, dig a hole, bury it, and then pay people to stand around and guard it. It is not practical, and anyone who watches it from Mars will be puzzled.

　　But Elston doubts that Buffett will shine in the short term, but he will surely see that many people have done so for thousands of years and will almost certainly continue to do so. Besides, if he has a mobile phone or a tooth filling, he may benefit from the utility of gold to a greater extent than he is willing to mention.

　　As for the use breakdown of 205,238 tons of above-ground inventory, jewelry accounts for 46%, privately owned gold bars, coins and ETFs account for 22%, the central bank accounts for 17%, and other uses such as electronics, dentistry and aerospace account for 15%. It is estimated that as much as 80% of the newly mined or recycled gold is used for jewelry manufacturing.

　　Looking forward to the future of gold, it needs to be clear that Elston is not interested in the factors that may affect the short-term price performance of gold. They are essentially emotional-driven and unpredictable. In addition, compared with the long-term possible percentage change, the short-term performance is insignificant.

　　In other words, the really important factors are those related to basic supply and demand. They will determine the long-term performance of inflation-adjusted gold prices. For example, whether it will increase by 300% or decrease by 75% in the next decade. In his view, this is exactly what the market should pay attention to, not whether the nominal price of the US dollar will fall below $1,500 in the next few weeks.

　　As mentioned above, the annual gold production has been declining and has been flat since 2016. Environmental problems limit the potential of new discoveries. The progress of mining technology is related to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, virtual reality, self-driving cars and blasting optimization. They didn’t, in fact, solve the basic law in a meaningful way, that is, the deeper you want to dig, the more energy you need.

　　Although 75% of the annual gold demand is met by mining gold supply, the shortage is made up by recycling, mainly jewelry. In the short term, the supply of recycled gold is sensitive to the price of gold. In addition, the dynamics behind the basic supply of recycled gold are unlikely to change significantly.

　　About 6000 years ago, the first known use of gold was as decorative beads. It is hard to see how this established popularity will fundamentally change. According to the data of the World Bank, since 1971, the real GDP of the world has increased by 3.1% every year, while the appreciation trend of the real gold price in the same period is 1.7% every year. Generally speaking, in the past 50 years, the world’s real GDP has increased by 360%, which is 130% higher than the real gold price. In other words, the rise of gold prices in the past 50 years has been supported, proved and explained by the growth of global wealth.

　　In recent years, the net purchase of gold by central banks has been quite stable, with an average of about 500 tons per year. The use of gold, whether as jewelry or as a means of value storage, is inseparable from its chemical characteristics. Therefore, it seems unlikely that central banks will lose interest in holding physical gold in their vaults in the near future or even the distant future. Net purchases may vary from quarter to quarter, sometimes very different, but the long-term trend seems to have been established.

　　The demand for private investment in gold is probably the most interesting of the four main sources. Its utility as a private value store is similar to that of the central bank, that is, it is related to its chemical properties. However, economies of scale make it expensive and/or risky for private individuals to store gold at home, so most people hold gold in paper form, that is, certificates and ETFs. Proponents of cryptocurrency have seized this obvious inefficiency, claiming that things like bitcoin should be regarded as digital gold, thus invalidating the current utility of gold as a private sector value store.

　　The use of gold as jewelry and storage of private and public values is inseparable from its chemical characteristics, in other words, the demand for gold bars goes hand in hand with the demand for jewelry. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies don’t have such basic attributes, and they never will. A USB flash drive storing encrypted access codes is unlikely to be worn as jewelry. Unless, of course, they are made of gold.

　　Elston said that the most interesting reason for the demand for private investment is that in difficult economic times, gold may be sold to buy more necessities, thus putting downward pressure on prices. However, in the severe economic difficulties, due to high inflation, people lose confidence in legal paper money, and the demand for it as a means of value storage will increase.

　　He is not sure whether he wants to live in a world where gold has replaced paper money as the main currency, but this does not mean that economic difficulties will continue but increase gradually in the long run. For example, global temperature rise, war, famine and epidemic diseases will not lead to the appreciation of gold prices.

　　Describe the various ways of gold, namely, value storage, inflation hedging, safe haven and investment. As should be clear, value storage is something that actually keeps its value. Gold has always been a means of value storage, and its inflation-adjusted price has shown an upward trend in the past 50 years. However, if you bought gold in 1981, you are actually still underwater. In other words, the actual decline of gold may exist and has existed for a specific period of several decades.

　　The reputation of gold as an inflation hedge tool was established in 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, but the relationship has not been obvious since then. It is true that in naughty times, when inflation fell, the real price of gold rose by more than 400%. Therefore, Elston is not sure whether the argument that gold is an inflation hedging tool is valid, except in severe economic difficulties, such as the use of hyperinflation in Germany.

　　Is gold a safe haven, that is, defensive? In other words, when risky assets such as stocks and high-yield bonds perform poorly, does it perform well? Similarly, there is no real evidence that this is indeed the case. It has not performed well this year, which is a period of poor performance of risky assets.

　　Finally, Elston never considered physical gold as an investment. This is because physical gold is different from stocks, bonds or property, and the former does not actually generate income. It is more similar to cash, and the portfolio allocation of physical gold should be regarded as a cash substitute. He finally stressed that this does not mean that high cash distribution is appropriate, and gold should be more popular as cash than legal tender.

　　Throughout modern history, smallpox has held the top spot in killing human beings.

　　Smallpox is also the first infectious disease eliminated by human beings.

　　When future generations are exploring what killed smallpox, the trekking about how human beings overcome diseases step by step has merged into the long river of human medical history.

　　It is necessary for us to wade into this river at any time, go back to the way we came and find hope for the future.

　　The pockmarked emperor and the milkmaid

　　It is mentioned in Huangdi Neijing that "poison" should be used to treat diseases, and the so-called "fight poison with poison". Traditional Chinese medicine began to use this method to deal with smallpox, which existed during the Tang and Song Dynasties. Doctors take out the serous fluid from the abscess of smallpox patients and implant it into the body of healthy people for prevention and treatment, which is called human pox vaccination.

　　During the Wanli and Apocalypse years of Ming Dynasty, various books about human pox appeared. By the Qing dynasty, the method of preventing smallpox by human pox vaccination was widely promoted. Kangxi, the "pockmarked-faced emperor" who had suffered from smallpox, set up a pox clinic under the Tai Hospital and recruited famous doctors. Also in Beijing, a special "acne check chapter Beijing" is set up to take charge of the Eight Banners’ acne prevention. He specially sent people to welcome Ayla Zhang, a well-known folk vaccinia doctor, into the palace to vaccinate the royal family and banners.

　　Jared diamond, an evolutionary biologist and anthropologist, once revealed how the human body can defeat the virus: in the process of resisting a certain pathogen that infects the human body, the human body will gradually form specific antibodies, which makes it unlikely to be infected by the same pathogen again after recovery.

　　In the thousands of years of confrontation between human beings and smallpox, the latter has occupied an absolute advantage for a long time, and "pockmarked face" is so common that people without pockmarked face become special.

　　The 18th century was the age when smallpox ravaged Europe, and the British doctor edward Cenna (1749-1829) devoted himself to studying the solution. He noticed that almost all the female milkmaids had no "pockmarked faces". The beautiful milkmaid aroused Qinna’s curiosity, and he found one thing in common with them — — Cowpox of a milkmaid.

　　Vaccinia is a virus that can be co-infected by humans and animals, but it does no serious harm to cattle and people. There is a saying in the English countryside that "as long as you have suffered from vaccinia, you will not get smallpox".

　　Since 1788, Qinna began to carry out experiments on animals, using vaccinia of dairy women instead of smallpox patients to fight smallpox. For 8 years in a row, the experiment pointed to the same result, and vaccinia can effectively prevent smallpox.

　　On May 14th, 1796, Qinna conducted the first human experiment. He took the serous fluid Sarah Nelmes, a milkmaid, and inoculated it on the arm of phipps, an 8-year-old boy. Two months later, he inoculated phipps with real smallpox slurry. As a result, the boy was not infected with smallpox, and the previous vaccination seemed to have made him immune.

　　In the following two years, Qinna conducted the same human experiment many times, and the results were the same: all children who had had vaccinia were immune to smallpox virus. In 1798, Chennault announced that smallpox could be prevented by vaccination.

　　Vaccinium vaccination spread rapidly around the world. In 1977, Ethiopia recorded the last case of smallpox in human history. On October 26, 1979, WHO officially publicized that smallpox was eradicated all over the world.

　　This is the first time in human history to win the battle against infectious diseases.

　　Fatal bacteria and life-saving bacteria

　　Although the practical application of vaccinia technology is very successful, scientists are not satisfied. People need to explain theoretically why vaccinia can fight smallpox.

　　In the 1950s, chemist Louis Pasteur confirmed the relationship between diseases and germs, and found that specific microbial pathogens could cause specific diseases. Moreover, he found that the long-term growth toxicity of bacteria on artificial culture medium would be weakened, but the immunogenicity still existed.

　　According to this theory, in 1881, Pasteur artificially attenuated Bacillus anthracis with strong immunogenicity and inoculated it into sheep, which finally proved that sheep inoculated with Bacillus anthracis vaccine would not get the disease again.

　　Rabies virus can not be isolated and cultured like bacteria, but Pasteur confirmed that the pathogenic microorganism causing rabies exists in the spinal cord or brain tissue of sick animals. Therefore, he chose rabbit brain for subculture to obtain attenuated strains, and then successfully made live vaccines.

　　With the development of microbiology and immunology, vaccine is really defined as active immunity preparation for preventing infectious diseases, which is made of pathogenic microorganisms (such as bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, etc.) and their metabolites by artificial attenuation, inactivation or genetic engineering.

　　Based on this method, more vaccines can appear. Attenuated live vaccine made by heating inactivation of Vibrio cholerae; After 13 years and 213 generations of continuous culture on the culture medium, attenuated BCG was obtained.

　　With the development of the discipline, some traditional classical vaccine varieties have been further transformed into new vaccines, and some vaccines that cannot be developed with classical technology have found ways to solve the problem.

　　In 1972, recombinant genetic engineering contributed a lot of technical support and gave birth to recombinant gene vaccine. By using DNA recombinant biotechnology, natural or synthetic genetic material which can induce immune response in protein of pathogen shell can be directionally inserted into bacteria, yeast or mammalian cells, and the vaccine can be made after expression and purification. Nowadays, BCG, recombination vaccines, SARS vaccine, HIV vaccine and highly pathogenic avian influenza vaccine are being studied.

　　Conjugate vaccine appeared in 1980s. Scientists linked sugar molecules with protein (toxoid of Clostridium tetanus or diphtheria) by chemical methods, and developed a conjugate vaccine. Vaccines against pneumonia and meningitis are made in this way.

　　Looking at the present, the vaccine that has attracted much attention is none other than nucleic acid vaccine. Nucleic acid vaccine, also known as gene vaccine or DNA vaccine, transports DNA vaccine to human cells through some carrier (such as nanoparticles), which will guide the cells to produce immune active components, and then the cells will "spit out" these active components to stimulate the human body to obtain corresponding immunity, but it will not cause disease.

　　Nucleic acid vaccine can even transfect food cells, such as inserting hepatitis B virus nucleic acid vaccine into the genome of tomato cells, and inoculating the vaccine when eating tomatoes.

　　Scientific and technological progress brings infinite possibilities, and the new exploration of vaccination methods is also the tireless pursuit of scientists. In addition to traditional injection methods, oral administration, skin patch, nasal spray and improved fruit are all targets.

　　A never-ending struggle

　　With the development of immunology research, people have more and more expectations for vaccines, hoping that they will not only "prevent diseases". Researchers are already in action, trying to achieve the effect of treating diseases or preventing diseases from worsening by inducing specific immune responses. Such vaccine products are therapeutic vaccines.

　　There are many therapeutic vaccines that have been studied all over the world: tumor vaccines used for tumor treatment use tumor antigens for active immunization to stimulate the body’s active specific immune response to tumors to prevent the growth, spread and metastasis of tumors; Vaccines used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases aim at intervening the immune process to prevent the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis (AS). A Swiss biotechnology company said that CYT006-AngQb, a vaccine used to treat hypertension, has a good clinical development prospect … …

　　On the other hand, when human beings are struggling to move forward, the "perpetrators" of infectious diseases are not willing to be silent. Since 1970s, more than 40 infectious diseases have been discovered in the world, such as HIV virus, avian influenza virus, SARS virus, mad cow disease prion, monkeypox virus, Lyme virus, Ebola virus, Legionella, Vibrio cholerae O139 and so on. People’s common influenza viruses are constantly innovating. For example, after the "Spanish flu" caused by H1N1 virus, the "Asian flu" and the "Hong Kong flu" were staged by H3N2 subtype virus. Or a lower-grade flu, it is staged almost every few years in Europe, America and Asia. There are also new viruses that have never met each other, eyeing and hiding in the dark.

　　"The only competitor competing with humans for the dominance of the earth is the virus." The words of lederberg, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1958, sounded like an alarm bell. In the past two hundred years, the confrontation between human beings and germs was the fiercest. For the first time, we turned the tables, stood in a pre-emptive position, and seized the throat of the biggest killer of human beings. Compared with the end of the 19th century, the average life expectancy of human beings has been extended for several decades.

　　We have opened the "box" of vaccines. Overcoming the challenge of disease again and again makes us believe that disease creates problems and also provides understanding.

Actress Aya Sugimoto was recently invited to shoot a group of public service advertisements for PETA, an animal protection association. On the 17th, she took a formal photo shoot in a studio in Tokyo.

　　Although she was used to nudity in filming, Aya Sugimoto felt a different sense of tension that day. Only one piece with the words "Fur? It’s better to be naked. "The advertisement board covers her chest. She said," So far, I feel naked is the feeling of wearing another suit, but this time I have a different sense of tension. I seem to have taken off all my clothes. " Having said that, the actress, who is famous for her sexy and erotic lines, still showed a provocative and dangerous expression when facing the camera. "I stopped wearing fur two years ago, hoping I could face the eyes of those dead animals." It seems that Erotic Queen still has a positive attitude and decisive action in environmental protection. I believe this is also the place that PETA invited her to appear in this group of advertisements.

　　Store grain in the ground, and store grain in technology. Today, agriculture is becoming a promising industry, and farmers are becoming attractive occupations.

　　The autumn wind bursts, setting off layers of rice waves and bringing the fragrance of rice. Approaching the edge of the field, waist-high rice is neatly spread out and extends to the foot of the distant mountain. In the rice field, several harvesters are running at full power and the roar is endless. On the ridge of the field, farmers hold mobile phones to check the growth of rice and the progress of harvesting, and their faces are filled with the joy of harvest. When I came to the 68th regiment of Kekedala City, the fourth division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, a picture of autumn harvest in full swing came to my eyes.

　　The 68th regiment is located in Ili Valley, with fertile soil and abundant irrigation water. Thanks to superior natural conditions, the local area began to explore the cultivation of rice very early. However, due to the lack of advanced planting concepts and technical support, farmers have been exploring for a long time. The variety of rice in the field is mixed, and the height of rice seedlings is uneven, which is not only difficult to manage and protect, but also inefficient. Both the practical needs of increasing farmers’ income and the long-term overall situation of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization have put forward new and higher requirements for improving production technology.

　　Store grain in the ground, and store grain in technology. With the help of modern production technology, local rice planting has embarked on the road of intelligent production. The intelligent agricultural system has made the days of "steaming the summer heat and rusting the country, burning the sun on the back" gone forever. With the help of modern information technology, every field and every seedling has been monitored all the time, and the information such as soil humidity, pH value and rice seedling growth can be seen at a glance. Through the big screen of smart agriculture, technicians can analyze the situation of water and fertilizer, pests and diseases according to the data fed back by remote sensing. Under the precise guidance of data, intensive cultivation, accurate fertilization and reasonable irrigation have replaced extensive management, and watering and fertilization can be completed by machinery without leaving home. From "looking up to heaven for dinner" to "looking up to heaven for management", the unique natural endowment of Yili River Valley is being transformed into the development advantage of rural revitalization.

　　In the process of technology application, we are also faced with a task of coordinating agricultural production with environmental protection. For example, in Bole City, Xinjiang, in the past, planting corn had to go through fixed processes such as plowing and film mulching. When the wind blows over the newly turned land, it will raise dust all over the sky, and the broken plastic film will remain in the ground, which will not only be difficult to decompose, but also cause soil hardening. With the improvement of agricultural technology, farmers began to experiment with corn protective no-tillage technology. Not clearing the straw and plowing the land before cultivation not only reduces the loss caused by land ploughing, but also eliminates the use of plastic film, which not only saves a lot of costs, but also reduces land pollution and protects farmland and surrounding agricultural environment. Crops and land have achieved a virtuous cycle of planting in the middle and planting in the middle.

　　The introduction of advanced agricultural technology has enabled farmers to see the broad prospects of agricultural development and stimulated the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of production. At first, the popularization of corn conservation no-tillage technology was not smooth. A farmer planted 100 mu with the mentality of giving it a try. When harvesting, he found out that "the yield per mu is more than 100 kilograms, and the cost has dropped, and the 200 yuan per mu is at least increased", and finally he decided to adopt protective no-tillage technology. Since the beginning of this year, the local promotion area has exceeded 30,000 mu. At harvest time, looking at the full corn in the field, the local people smiled.

　　From the foot of Tianshan Mountain to the Ili River, from desert oasis to vast grassland … … In more places in Xinjiang, agriculture has caught the express train of technological progress, production has become more and more convenient, and people’s lives have become more and more affluent. Today, agriculture is becoming a promising industry, and farmers are becoming attractive occupations. Better application of science and technology, agricultural science and technology to help rural revitalization, the pace towards agricultural and rural modernization will be more stable, and beautiful countryside, with strong agriculture, beautiful countryside and rich farmers, will gradually approach.

Special feature of 1905 film network It was released, and the box office accumulated 15 million on the first day. Frankly speaking, it is better than Xiao Dianjun’s expected box office results.

Looking at the animated film market in the past two years, there will be one or two works with good appearance every year. These works may not be perfect, but they are more or less a breakthrough in the current market.

After all, the first person to eat crabs needs courage, and of course he is lucky.

The appearance of Yesterday’s Blue Sky is a new breakthrough. Accustomed to all kinds of animated stories with overhead backgrounds, the author uses his hometown for chocolate in his pocket — —Zhejiang LanxiBased on the blueprint, I planted a lot of my own stories and created such a story. People who don’t know will say that they are copying Japanese animation just by looking at the stills.

Actually, not at all.

This animation is a first attempt, which can be called the first youth theme in China, and it is also the first time to create an animated film with a real city as the actual location.

Coincidentally, Xiao Dianjun’s colleague Ma Xun is from this small town in the south of the Yangtze River. When he first screened in the summer, he bought tickets early and then sold them all kinds of crazy. In his words, "The first shot of the film, the ship passing by on the Lanjiang River, the Simon Tower behind the camera background, and then a row of white pigeons flew by, is completely a childhood memory.

As a fan of animated films, he also took this opportunity to chat with the original pocket chocolate and express a homesickness.

"Nong is also from Lanxi." Pocket chocolate first talked to me in dialect after entering the door. I was stunned when I didn’t hear the local accent for a long time.

"Well, in fact, I am still a high school with you, and I graduated from Lan No.3 Middle School. When watching movies, I still have great feelings when I see that old school gate."

"When I went back to collect the wind last time, I saw that the old school gate was still there, which was quite good."

Pocket chocolate, born in 1977, lived in the south of the city since childhood, and went to Shenzhen after the third year of high school to fight for his comic dream.

I was born in 1992, and I lived in the southeast of the city. I was familiar with him when he talked about many small town stories, but with the urban transformation in the middle and late 1990s, my memory was not so profound.

"Yesterday’s Blue Sky" really means more to me than anything else. In animation, many things don’t know how to express them in words when images project various places of their past lives.

This city is the soul of this animation.

When the film was shown in July, it was already seen in advance.

Touching was the biggest feeling at that time.Perhaps the film propaganda mainly promotes the youth of a generation, but for me, it is the whole memory from childhood to adolescence.

As early as around 2012, I had already read the original comics, and I dreamed that one day it would be presented in the form of animation, but I didn’t expect the final product to be like this. It is a little different from the original, but fortunately, the most important feelings of the small town have not changed.

This feeling is the same for the original author’s pocket chocolate. He grew up with his grandparents and lived in the south of the city. This area was the first area to be transformed by the city in the mid-1990 s. Almost 20 years have passed. As he said, "Many places have not been completely changed."

"I don’t know if you know that before Yan ‘an Road was rebuilt, shops at that time were not limited to rolling doors, and they were all made of wood, so I drew this into my work." For me after 90, it is true that this kind of door curtain is rare.

"As a cartoonist, a lot of things to consider still need a sense of picture. For example, if I want to shape a small town, there will be a spatial logic and a small map like a sand table in my mind. I grew up in the old town of Lanxi, and the whole area of the old town can be drawn in my mind at any time. It is very clear. "

At some point, Pocket Chocolate began to dictate the map of Lanxi.

"Simon, there used to be a pontoon bridge, and there was Zhongzhou Park, then the ring road here and around there. A railway bridge goes around, there is a railway station, then there is a railway crossing, and then it turns here, and Yunshan Road turns here is an archway at the south gate. In this circle, the appearance of the old city comes out. "

Like Tu Xiaoyi, the man in the movie, Pocket Chocolate is a child who grew up in an alley. When I was a child, my parents were not around, and my grandparents brought me up. Children who grow up in alleys have one characteristic: they like to run around.

Of course, I have had such an experience before.

Alleys in the south are different from hutongs in the north. They will be narrower and extend in all directions. When I was very young, my grandmother was still living in the alley of the old city. If there was an adult’s bicycle to cross, one side had to retreat to the alley first.

Sometimes I chase and run with my friends in the alley, and I may run into someone else’s yard.

In fact, from the early comic book "Area 1 212" of Pocket Chocolate, the male host was set to be from Lanxi. This powerful nostalgia inevitably makes me curious and ask, "How often do you go back to Lanxi now?"

In the past, when his grandparents were alive, he would go back to visit his parents regularly. Since the death of the old man in recent years, his chances of going back are getting less and less, but this city that grew up as a child is unforgettable for him.

"I first wanted to create a story about the campus. At that time, I felt that since I wanted to describe a story that made people feel the same, I should take my real experience as the blueprint to shape it. Therefore, it is basically determined that it is a starting motivation to simply take my hometown Lanxi as the background. "

Perhaps it’s because I’ve been away from home for too long. In the urban design of the film, pocket chocolate still exposes some shortcomings. He is not familiar with the later rebuilt Chengxi New District.

In the animation, he set the heroine’s home in Hongmei Village in the west of the city. In reality, there is indeed this community. "Our setting at that time was that the hero sent the woman home, probably by bus. The hero must live in the old city, and the heroine must live in the new district. To be honest, because I grew up in the urban area, I am not particularly familiar with the new area, but I have an impression of Hongmei Village, so I simply set that place as Hongmei Village. "

After listening to what he said, this geographical mistake became clear in an instant. In the area where Pocket Chocolate grew up, there was only a No.9 bus line at the door in the early days, and the terminal was Hongmei Village.

To put it bluntly, this "mistake" is nothing more than memories of home.

"Then why didn’t Lanxi be the blueprint in the process of film and television adaptation, but borrowed the customs of many other water towns?" I may not be completely satisfied by the film, but I can’t help asking.

"You may not know, in fact, very early on, the intersection of Yan ‘an Road was a bridge, which was later filled out. I actually want to do some restoration, but the urban area can’t get such a view, so I went to many places such as Luzhi and Yongchang, and implanted it with what is closest to my impression. "

Your personality is a bit like Tu Xiaoyi.

"In order to restore the school, in fact, we also returned to Lan No.3 Middle School. The school also specially showed us the files. " The high school in the movie does exist, but after almost 2005, it experienced a relatively large campus expansion, which is completely different from the appearance in the movie.

The only thing that can be found in the film is the old school gate, but now it has become a memorial inside the campus.

In high school, Pocket Chocolate was not an excellent student, but it didn’t make trouble on weekdays, so I liked painting alone, so I contracted all the class blackboard newspapers in high school for three years.

At that time, he didn’t have any professional training, but he just liked it and copied it with pictures in comic magazines.

At that time, the family conditions were not particularly rich. For him, it may not be enough to buy comics and magazines, let alone buy white paper for painting.

"I held an umbrella and wore slippers on a rainy day, and I ran all over the streets in the old city to find that kind of copy shop and wanted to ask them to buy some white paper. At that time, people sold the whole package, but I couldn’t afford it. I said if I could buy 20 pages, they wouldn’t sell it to me. "

At that time, many people didn’t have any confidence in the art road, and they were often defined as "crooked roads". However, his family and teachers in Pocket Chocolate are very supportive of him.

"I was deeply impressed. When I was in a self-study class, Teacher Nie knew that I liked to draw cartoons and gave me a newspaper. But the above is the traditional satirical cartoon, which is not the same as our favorite cartoon. But the heart is really warm, and you will feel that a teacher is giving you strength. " Later, this bridge was painted by him into the movie "Yesterday’s Clear Sky".

But at that time, many things were not popular. After Pocket Chocolate learned about the art class of Zhejiang Normal University, my sister took him with her to find out, who would have missed the time to apply for the exam.

"Actually, like Tu Xiaoyi, I went to Shenzhen without taking the college entrance examination." It is also holding the mentality of "trying" and working hard for his comic dream.. Later, he kept painting and slowly began to have works.

“I think Tu Xiaoyi is you."After talking to Pocket for nearly half an hour, I suddenly threw this question at him.

At that time, he was stunned and replied, "A little."

During the interview, I actually talked a lot with Pocket Chocolate.

I talked about the tofu dumplings that flashed in the animation and talked about many hometown snacks.

I also talked about the TV tower that the protagonists climbed up in the movie. "At that time, junior high schools organized lectures, and our own boys sneaked to Dayun Mountain to play. Sometimes we went to the bomb shelter below to’ explore’ or strolled in the TV tower. Once the door was open, several older boys climbed up."

During the pre-production of the film, Pocket Chocolate took the team back to Lanxi for a few days. Today, this southern town has changed a lot, and even the pontoon bridge in the movie has been demolished in the past two years.

The school he attended, only the primary school has made too many changes.

"When I went back to Yan ‘an Road Primary School this time, I felt that when we were in primary school, we felt that the playground was very big, the corridor was very wide and the railings were very high. But when you climb up again now, you suddenly found that the playground was not that big, the railings were not that high and the corridors were not that wide. But when you go to a place where you have been before, you will have an illusion. When you were a child, you ran past you now. I really feel this way. "

"Well, that’s how I feel when I watch this movie."
