How much do you know about the background story of "Hunting in the Air"?


1905 movie network news 2017 is a big year for audiences who love war movies. The appearance of the movie has boosted the box office of China mainland to an unprecedented height, and also let everyone see the potential of domestic main melody films. Later, it was shown in the mainland, showing the individual’s experience in the war, and the smoke of war decades ago reappeared on the screen. In contrast, aiming at the eleventh gear is a sword on the side, which shows the People’s Air Force under the background of the new international situation and the information age for the first time, and also shows the equipment development and actual combat capability of the People’s Air Force in the past five years.

 

 

As the first work directed and performed by Jerry Lee, Hunting in the Sky tells the story of the squadron of "Overlord Sirius" which gathers the elite of the air force, and is ordered to attack bravely in the face of the crisis when terrorists from neighboring countries control the missile well and take China citizens hostage. Among them, the emotional line between Jerry Lee and Fan Bingbing runs through from beginning to end, and transnational joint anti-terrorism and assistance to China citizens are also displayed in great length.

 

The main performance of "Hunting in the Air" is air force pilots, and air combat is the biggest attraction of this film. The main aircraft types of the Air Force, such as J -20, J -11B, J -10C, Yun -20, Air Police 500, Zhi -8, Zhi -9, etc., appeared in a concentrated manner, among which J-20 appeared in a fighting posture for the first time, and J -10C and Mirage 2000 confronted each other in complex terrain, and all kinds of difficult tactical actions were very enjoyable.

 

For war-themed works, if you don’t know much about the background knowledge of the film, the viewing effect will be greatly reduced, and the little knowledge behind the film "Hunting in the Air" is actually more interesting.

 

 

Military uniform: 17-style flight suit, 07-style military uniform, camouflage uniform.

 

Whether in the film or at the press conference, Li Chen is wearing a new flight suit that has not yet been installed. This gray-green one-piece flight suit looks simple and beautiful, and its subordinate troops are marked in an eye-catching position on the chest, which is obviously different from the current Type 02 flight suit in terms of color and style.

 

In a scene of parachute training in desert area, Jerry Lee, wearing a 17-style flight suit, was able to move freely after landing. He used his running track to write down the coordinate orientation of "South Mountain South" in the navigation system, which showed that this one-piece flight suit was light and convenient for pilots to move in a narrow cockpit.

 

 

At the same time, there is also a winter flying leather coat that is different from the current equipment, and there is an obvious hook and loop combination of rank and name on the chest of the leather coat. There is also a pocket with zipper above the left arm for convenient storage. This flying leather coat is more like a symbol of the membership of Batian Wolf Squadron in the film, which belongs to the fiction in the film.

 

 

The 07 navy uniform was briefly introduced in Wolf Warriors 2, and the 07 air force uniform was also shown in more space in Hunting in the Air. According to the rank configuration, the role played by Wang Xueyin, an old opera player, is the highest. When entering the command center, Wang Xueyin appeared in a uniform coat. This coat is designed with hidden buttons and a belt at the waist, which is simple and generous. Comparing the uniforms of Wu Xiubo, Fan Bingbing and others, it will be found that Wang Xueyin’s big-brimmed hat is equipped with golden ribbons and brim flowers, while the ribbons of field officers and commandant officers are light blue.

 

 

As the representative of the female soldier image in the film, Fan Bingbing appeared in the camera with the unique rolled-off hat of female soldiers, and sat under the stage with the captain’s epaulettes to listen to the speech of the senior colonel played by Wu Xiubo.

 

In camouflage clothing, there are three kinds of undistributed equipment in "Hunting in the Sky": desert camouflage, blurred edge camouflage and snow camouflage. Among them, snow camouflage adds light gray to the white background, which is convenient to blend in with the surrounding environment.

 

 

According to the different environment, the airborne soldiers use the camouflage with blurred edges in the film, which can play an excellent camouflage effect in the dark.

 

Noun explanation: Barents sea scalpel with gold helmet

 

 

When recruiting excellent pilots to join the "Sirius" squadron, Wang Qianyuan repeatedly emphasized the golden helmet pilots, and the so-called golden helmet was actually a flying skill competition award set up by the China Air Force. As an annual competition, the pilots who compete in air-to-air competitions every year will get the physical reward of the golden helmet, which symbolizes the highest honor of the pilots and is also an affirmation of their ability.

 

 

When Wang Qianyuan was teaching students the history of war, he used Jerry Lee to intercept enemy fighters and compared it with the scalpel incident in Barents Sea. As the most famous Soviet air collision case during the Cold War, the Barents Sea scalpel incident has been mentioned many times. In 1987, the Norwegian Air Force’s P-3B anti-submarine patrol aircraft encountered a Soviet Air Force Su -27 fighter and was damaged by the other side’s vertical tail. According to the disclosure afterwards, the aerial contest consisted of three rounds and lasted for 17 minutes.

 

Main aircraft types: J -20, J -11B, J -10C, Yun -20, Air Police -500, Mirage 2000, Zhi -8 and Zhi -9.

 

 

"Hunting in the Air" is also a concentrated display of China Air Force equipment. The appearances of J -20, J -11B, J -10C, Yun -20, Air Police 500, Zhi -8 and Zhi -9 are dizzying, among which Yun-20 and J-20 appeared in front of the audience for the first time in a fighting posture. On the day before the film was released, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of National Defense said at a regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense that the J -20 had been equipped with troops, which showed that this fighter had been finalized and entered the stage of small-scale production.

 

 

J -11B is the fighter plane that entered Mabu for the first time to perform its mission, with Wang Qianyuan as the leader and Jerry Lee as the wingman. After encountering the Sam -6 anti-aircraft missile controlled by terrorists, he made a wonderful escape. Finally, Jerry Lee accelerated to climb up after receiving the instructions, and Wang Qianyuan’s landline was damaged by the missile, and he himself was seriously injured in the eye.

 

 

A set of "combination boxing" appeared when the fighter plane was damaged and attacked Mabu again. Rainbow -5, a new UAV developed in China, cooperated with J -10C and Air Police -500 early warning aircraft mounted with Eagle Strike 91 anti-radar missiles, and Yun -20, which can perform long-distance air transportation tasks, and finally eliminated the terrorists entrenched in Mabu.

 

 

In the performance of foreign fighters, Mirage 2000 and F-15 appeared, among which the confrontation between J -10C and Mirage 2000 machine gun developed by France became the biggest highlight, and the picture of the confrontation between the two fighters in the valley was unforgettable.

 

 

In the film, Fan Bingbing plays a pilot who mainly flies a helicopter to perform a search and rescue mission. In the first mission to rescue people trapped by mudslides, Zhi -9 appeared, and the last mission was to drive Zhi -8.


Zhi -8 is a multi-purpose helicopter with many improved models, which was used to carry China citizens in Mabu in "Hunting in the Air". It can be clearly seen that the excellent transport capacity of Zhi -8 makes the overseas evacuation of overseas Chinese by the Air Force go smoothly, and it is also relatively smooth to travel through the complex terrain in mountainous areas. After terrorists from Mabu took the Mirage 2000 to aim at Zhi -8 on the way home, Jerry Lee made the decision of plane collision without ammunition.

Zhi -9 is a picture when the film begins to introduce Fan Bingbing who joined the Batianlang team. When the mudslide rushed to the primary school, Zhi -9 hovered over the target building and rescued the victims through ropes at the last minute.

 

Other equipment: reconnaissance robot, Bobcat ATV, Land Shield 2000 air defense system.

 

 

In the film, there are also brief pictures of reconnaissance robots, Bobcat ATVs, Land Shield 2000 air defense systems and other equipment, among which the domestic Bobcat ATVs with compact design and excellent handling performance performed well. This kind of car is used by airborne troops in the film, and it can gallop after carrying six passengers, which plays an auxiliary role in eliminating terrorists.

 

 

Land Shield 2000 air defense system appears in the film, which is used for terminal defense of the airport and can effectively intercept low-altitude targets such as air-to-ground missiles, cruise missiles and helicopters.

 

"Hunting in the Air" shows a lot of air force equipment for the first time, which is unforgettable. It is also a film that once again shows the image of China’s contemporary soldiers on the screen after the appearance of "Wolf Warriors 2", which triggered the topic. It has played an important role in establishing the image of contemporary China soldiers, enhancing people’s patriotic enthusiasm, and letting more and more audiences see the potential of China’s main melody films.

Counting the ridiculous things of officials who have fallen off the horse: you can only be a "big official" if you drink 300,000 at a time.

  CCTV News:Recently, the General Office of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Guizhou Provincial People’s Government issued the "Regulations on the Total Prohibition of Alcohol in Official Activities in Guizhou Province". The regulations are clear: from September 1, 2017, all official activities in the province are prohibited from providing any alcohol, and no alcohol provided by any unit or individual, including private alcohol, is allowed. Official activities within the province are prohibited from giving any alcohol from public funds. No alcohol is allowed during working hours and at noon on weekdays. In addition, if it is really necessary to provide alcohol and drinking in major foreign affairs activities and investment promotion activities, the organizer shall report it to the responsible comrades in charge of the unit or the work for approval according to the principle of one purchase and one approval, and report it to the Commission for Discipline Inspection at the same level for the record.

  Before Guizhou, Zhejiang, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Anhui, Xinjiang, Hunan and many other places had introduced alcohol prohibition regulations.

  From the promulgation of the eight central regulations, to the Regulations on the Administration of Domestic Official Reception of Party and Government Organs issued by the General Offices of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC and the State Council in 2013, it was clearly stipulated that high-grade drinks should not be provided for working meals, and then "prohibition of alcohol" was continuously issued everywhere. The strictness of the "prohibition of alcohol" has also been upgraded again and again: no alcohol is allowed at lunch on weekdays, and no alcohol is allowed during working hours and at noon on weekdays; From the official reception, it is forbidden to provide high-end drinks, and it is forbidden to provide any alcohol; In addition, Anhui and Hunan also banned alcoholic beverages.

  As soon as the "Prohibition Order" came out, although the phenomenon of drinking in official reception was greatly reduced compared with before, some officials still could not give up their addiction to alcohol and violated the discipline.

  The escalating "prohibition of alcohol" has to deal with the chaos of official drinking that is itself escalating.

  Not drinking is not enough meaning: "When the wine glass rings, there are two thousand pieces of gold" and "promotion requires assessment of alcohol consumption"

  "It should also be said that at the beginning, we were also disgusted with this luxurious thing. I don’t like wine either. I don’t drink a drop of wine at home during the New Year, and then it became a habit. Even when I invited someone, I didn’t drink as if I was not enthusiastic. Then when he invited me to eat, I didn’t drink as if it was not enough. " Yang Weize, former member of the Standing Committee of Jiangsu Provincial Committee and former secretary of Nanjing Municipal Committee, said.

  Yang Weize was once regarded as a "star official" in Jiangsu’s political circles. At the age of 36, he served as a departmental cadre. At the age of 44, he became the youngest member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee in China.

  A "lack of meaning" made his career slowly change, from accepting the dinner arranged by the business owner to accepting small gifts, then accepting red envelopes on holidays, and then evolving into a large amount of power and money transaction … When the glass rang, he not only gained two thousand gold, but also made him go to crime step by step. In the end, Yang Weize was sentenced to 12 years and 6 months in prison for accepting bribes, and his personal property was confiscated by RMB 2 million.

  "Can drink eight liang to drink a catty, such comrades can rest assured; Can drink eight taels a catty, such comrades should be cultivated; Can drink white wine and beer, such comrades can’t stay; No one wants a comrade who can drink beer and drinks. " This reads like a jingle, but it is a true portrayal of some kind of officialdom.

  When "not drinking is not enough meaning" becomes the unspoken rule among officials, and "how much can you drink" becomes the assessment standard for selecting and employing people, the abnormal official culture has led more officials to the abyss of depravity.

  Yuan Junxiao, the former vice mayor of Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, who was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment and fined 500,000 yuan for accepting bribes, is a typical case of "promotion by drinking". According to the previous report of "Integrity Outlook", Yuan Junxiao not only likes to go to dinner, but also likes to show his special "talent" at dinner. This special "talent" is to drink a lot. As early as when I worked as a designer in the Grinding Research Institute of Qinchuan Machine Tool Plant, Yuan Junxiao’s mass was well known. Taking advantage of this feature, Yuan consciously looked for leaders to drink. On the wine table, they called each other brothers. "Yuan’s contacts spread rapidly." After several years with the leaders of the Institute of Grinding Research, Yuan Junxiao was promoted and became the chief designer at the age of 26. At the end of 2001, Yuan Junxiao entered the official career as the executive deputy director of Baoji Economic and Trade Commission, and four years later, he became the sasac director of Baoji City.

  Drink the grade: ordinary Maotai is not allowed, and classic Lafite is free to taste.

  It can make officials feel that they don’t drink wine that is "not interesting enough", and naturally they can’t be "almost interesting".

  China discipline inspection and supervision newspaper mentioned in the article "How to talk about elegance if you don’t obey the rules": "Some corrupt officials still spend money in clubs and taste the so-called" classic Lafite "before being arrested; Some corrupt officials regard Maotai as elegant in the year of drinking and drink 300,000 yuan at a time. "

  CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection website even issued a document denouncing officials’ extravagant enjoyment: "Some leading cadres drank high-grade wine and vintage wine, and almost drank the" Lafite "brand".

  In recent years, there are not a few officials who pour on high-grade wine. For many corrupt officials, high-grade wine is regarded as a symbol of status, and only by drinking the grade can it gain face.

  Yang Weize, who was a teetotaler, gradually developed into "I like to drink Maotai, preferably vintage Maotai".

  In April this year, the Guizhou Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection reported six typical spiritual problems that violated the eight central regulations and the ten provincial regulations. Among them, Luo Jianqiang, former member of the Standing Committee of Bijie Municipal Committee and former deputy mayor of the municipal government, has repeatedly accepted banquets from private entrepreneurs from the second half of 2014 to September 2016, and received 2 bottles of Maotai vintage wine and 24 bottles of state banquet Maotai. One month after the Guizhou Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection publicly notified, Luo Jianqiang was double-opened for serious violation of discipline.

  Zhang Jianjin, member of Tianjin Municipal Committee, former party secretary and chairman of Tianjin Pharmaceutical Group, will achieve the ultimate goal of "drinking the grade". Before being censored from May 2013 to August 2015, Zhang Jianjin often went in and out of high-end restaurants in the name of business reception, organized and accepted public banquets. Maotai, Wuliangye and special health wine were required for every meal, and Moutai was generally not imported. If you want to drink it, you can drink it for 15 years or 30 years.  

  In 2013, a private business owner celebrated Zhang Jianjin’s birthday. When Zhang Jianjin saw that he brought ordinary Maotai, he disdained to ask for a 15-year Maotai brought by others. When a boss who had been humiliated by Zhang Jianjin ate and drank with him again, he took the initiative to bring the 30-year-old Maotai a "revenge".

  Try your best to drink: bottled mineral water, hidden in the trunk, and high-end wine put on vest and appeared again

  The details of Zhang Jianjin’s violation of discipline of "bottling Maotai with mineral water" have been reported many times. In the anti-corruption feature film "Always on the Road", he said: "If people take a film for you with their mobile phones, then there will be evidence on the Internet, so pour the Moutai into the mineral water, and then take the mineral water bottle and share it backwards when everyone shares the wine."

  Around Zhang Jianjin, there are a group of private business owners with related interests all the year round. In order to cater to Zhang Jianjin’s drinking hobby, there are all kinds of Maotai and various wines in the trunk of their cars for a long time, including Maotai in 15 or 30 years.

  Zhang Jianjin made great efforts to drink, private enterprise bosses prepared for offering wine for a long time, and merchants also resorted to tricks to sell wine.

  In 2015, a reporter went to many places to investigate and found that high-end wines that had been silent for a period of time warmed up again under the banner of "special supply", "customization" and "special edition". In the showcase of a tobacco and liquor store, the reporter saw a kind of Maotai liquor marked with special words for a state organ. The owner of the store said that the wine was originally produced by Maotai Distillery, and it was specially designed for wine and internal wine; The "abstract" wine and "inscription" wine launched by Guizhou Jinsha Group are very concerned by some public officials and business owners. A sales manager said that a bottle of "abstract" wine with a specification of 650 ml sold for 1,800 yuan, and sold for 50 million yuan in the first year of listing.

  Drinking chaos is thought-provoking: control greed and don’t let the wine table become the intermediary of corruption.

  Zhang Jianjin, as a typical person who ignored the party discipline and rules and changed the pattern to engage in "four winds", once said this when he reflected on himself: "What led me to commit a crime today, I think it was also caused by eating and drinking in this kind of interaction with them. After eating and drinking together for so many years, I think that these are all buddies and friends, so I will no longer defend them, so I say that in the end, it will become a kind of withdrawal. "

  The People’s Daily once commented that there is only one reason for the corruption of cadres in the final analysis, and they have failed to control their greed. Once the string of discipline and rules is loosened on the wine table, greed will grow with it, and then all kinds of edge balls will be played, even taking risks. A small wine table has thus become an intermediary for corruption. Once cadres believe in vulgar officialdom philosophy, regard banquets as a stepping stone to seek benefits, and design dinner as a channel to expand contacts, few people can resist not reaching out. Only when officials and cadres draw a red line in their hearts and strictly demand themselves, can they stay away from the trap of corruption and prevent a misstep from becoming an everlasting regret.

Herd immunity: Why does herd immunity in English use herd?

This article is reproduced from "A Zewai English Notes" and has been authorized.
At the beginning of the spread of the epidemic in March 2020, the British Prime Minister put forward the proposal of "herd immunity", which made many people feel "refreshing". At that time, the successful development of the vaccine against COVID-19 was still far away, and the British Prime Minister could only imagine the HERD Immunization achieved through "infection of diseases". This proposal with low safety attracted a lot of criticism at that time.
Since the beginning of this year, with the listing of various vaccines, safer herd immunity has become an important means to fight the epidemic. Countries are encouraging people to vaccinate, and strive to reach the vaccination scale needed to realize herd immunity as soon as possible.
Herd immunity will effectively reduce the negative impact of the epidemic and protect people’s health; This statement itself also contains a remarkable feature of English in language and culture, as well as the great differences between English and Chinese.
Before explaining English knowledge, let’s first understand the principle of group immunity.
What’s with Herd immunity?
The definition of Herd immunity is roughly as follows:
Herd immunity is a phenomenon seen when a high percentage of individuals within a population have developed immunity to a pathogen.Group immunity is a phenomenon: in a certain population, a large proportion of people are immune to a certain pathogen (such as bacteria or viruses).
Because so many people within the community are unable to contract the disease or virus, this reduces the likelihood that those who have not developed immunity will contract the disease. Because most individuals in this population have acquired immunity, they will not be infected with related diseases or viruses; In this way, the possibility and risk of exposure to related diseases or viruses will be greatly reduced for those individuals who have not acquired immunity in the whole population.
There are two ways to obtain immunity from a virus or bacteria: infection or vaccination. Comparatively, vaccination is the safer, more effective path, as it provides immunity without illness.
There are two ways to get immunity from a virus or bacteria: one is to infect the disease, and the other is to vaccinate. In contrast, the method of vaccination is more effective and safer, and it will not cause illness while generating immunity.
Different expressions for "group"
In English, there are several other expressions of held immunity, including community immunity, population immunity and social immunity, but in newspapers and media, most articles use the wording of held immunity.
The original meaning of the word herd in English is not used for "people", but to describe "groups of animals".
In practical use, herd mainly refers to cattle, and sometimes also refers to deer or elephants, such as: A herd of cows/deer/elephants and so on.
Using herd to refer to people is strictly an extended metaphor. In addition to newspapers and magazines, people are often referred to in various fictional novels, and the language effect is herd vivid, such as:
She pushed her way through a herd of lunchtime drinkers.
She struggled through the crowd who were having lunch and drinking.
Two idioms
Although the description of "crowd" with herd is vivid and interesting, its meaning is not completely neutral, and it is somewhat disapproving or even critical. It is emphasized that when many people get together, they often lose the ability to think independently as individuals.
Herd mentality or herd instinct, which is often used in English, is usually described as "herd mentality" in Chinese, which means: like flocks of animals and livestock, they have no thinking ability, only know that follow the herd takes action with the whole group; What most other members of the group do, they follow suit.
There is an idiom to ride herd on sb/sth in American English, which is often used to describe crowds. This idiom comes from the plains of the western United States, which reminds people of the scene of cowboys riding horses and herding cattle on the grassland.
Although it originated in the countryside, to ride herd on sb/sth is mainly used in urban areas, which refers to crowd control, usually refers to unorganized crowds, such as:
The police rides herd on crowds of youths on the streets.
The police kept order in the street to prevent groups of young people from getting out of control.
Situation difference
This figurative use of herd to refer to the crowd mainly exists in newspaper articles and literary novels, and is also used in popular science books for the public.
However, in academic articles and official documents of various institutions and departments, most people deliberately avoid using Herd to describe people. For example, in academic and formal occasions, herd immunity is usually replaced by community immunity and population immunity.
Although this will reduce the vividness of the language, it can rule out the possibility of association and avoid being offended. Although it is vivid, it is more objective and accurate.
cultural difference
Different from English culture, many other languages and cultures are not used to using words specially used to describe animals to describe human beings, and even are very taboo about it. This is the case in Chinese, and an obvious example is a large number of insulting expressions in traditional Chinese that originated from "dogs".
This cultural difference between Chinese and English deserves special attention when learning and using English. When translating English-quoted media articles, it is especially important to realize that when "animals" are used to describe "people" in English, they are usually not insulting, and they are not intentionally offending others and calling them "animals, pigs and dogs are inferior".
Most of the time, Herd’s analogy of "animal" to "human" can be directly translated into plain language without rhetorical meaning.
Two more "groups"
Realizing the cultural differences between Chinese and English in animal metaphor can also help us to use English more vividly and effectively, and we will not be timid because of this "burden" of traditional Chinese rhetoric expression.
English words like herd, which use animals to describe "people", are very rich and constitute a systematic series.
For example, herd is suitable for cattle, deer, elephants and other large animals; The "flock" of smaller animals is called flock in English, which mainly refers to sheep.
In addition, flock can also refer to a flock of birds, such as the proverbial birds of a feather flock together, which often corresponds to the Chinese word "birds of a feather flock together". When describing insects, such as bees, it will be called swarm.
Like herd, flock and swarm are often used to describe people, which not only remind people of vivid images, but also have their own division of meaning and function, describing different characteristics and aspects of "group behavior" respectively. In English, these statements are usually not regarded as insulting or demeaning.

China people taste the Lantern Festival tradition from glutinous rice balls.

    Xinhuanet Taiyuan, February 21 ST (Reporter Liu Xiangyu) "Sweet-scented osmanthus is wrapped in walnuts, and the rice is like a pearl well. Seeing that Ma’s family is good at dripping powder, try to sell Yuanxiao in the wind. " A poem "Poems on Bamboo Branches in Shangyuan" written by China in Qing Dynasty presents a wonderful picture of making glutinous rice balls to the world.


    Tangyuan is a round dessert made of glutinous rice flour. China is called Yuanxiao in the north and Tangyuan in the south, which are slightly different in size, making method and preservation time. In China people’s diet dictionary, eating glutinous rice balls means "family reunion" and "everything is perfect".


    For this traditional food, many famous people in China have recorded it in poems. In the Song Dynasty, there was a poem in Jiang Baishi, saying, "The Lantern Festival competes to see the lotus-picking boat, and the BMW sedan picks up the cymbals. In the stormy night, people are exhausted, and the lonely lamp still calls for selling glutinous rice balls. "


    Nowadays, this delicacy has been given more meanings. At the same time of family reunion and sharing dumplings, many people in China like to immerse themselves in the tradition and savor its infinite meaning.


    China merchants have clearly captured this information sensitively, and paid more and more attention to highlighting the traditional flavor in the production, packaging and sales of glutinous rice balls. In addition to catering to the harmonious and auspicious values of Chinese people in the outer packaging, China merchants also pursue exquisiteness in the "connotation" of glutinous rice balls, such as full-grained black sesame seeds, crisp and mellow peanuts, chocolate, roses, red bean paste and sweet-scented osmanthus.


    In order to keep the glutinous rice balls original and mellow, some merchants resumed using the traditional stone mill processing method, striving for perfection in grinding fineness, keeping the temperature just right when baking, and making every second count when freezing.


    The small glutinous rice balls, inside and outside, have soaked up the traditional health care concept of China people. In the south of China, there is a kind of small dumpling with no stuffing, which can be cooked with longan red date soup or longan ginger soup. According to Chinese medicine, even soup can strengthen the body and dispel cold.

Beauty sales are still recovering, but the beauty collection store has been on fire again.

  There are new players in the offline new beauty collection store.

  According to IT Orange News, COCOKUMO Coco Maiku, a beauty collection store, recently won tens of millions of angel rounds of strategic investment, which was exclusively invested by Hangzhou Zheheng Industrial Co., Ltd. According to Tianyancha, Coco Kumar is subordinate to Hangzhou Panding Power Technology Co., Ltd., which has been established for less than two and a half years. Coco Kumar has only opened one store in Hangzhou at present, which is located in the street shop of the clothing market.

  Judging from the live video in Little Red Book, the display of Coco Kumai’s goods is more like a discount sale, lacking the decoration features of "online celebrity punch card" in several beauty collection stores that were popular before. At the same time, Coco Kumai is still looking for franchisees, obviously focusing on the strategy of low price and extensive shop.

  However, in official website, WeChat WeChat official account and other public channels, Coco Kumar said that there are many international brands such as Chanel Chanel, Dior Dior, La Mer Sea Blue Mystery, SK-II, Armani Armani, etc., and these big brands rarely choose to cooperate with dealers, even if they cooperate, they will strictly control the channels to keep the price under control.

  At present, many beauty collection stores will purchase goods from the above-mentioned well-known brands to maintain the richness of supply, mainly from overseas counters, department stores, bonded warehouses and other third-party shopping channels. This has led to disputes between beauty collection stores and consumers because of the authenticity of goods.

  In addition to Cocoa Maiku, Pellet Group, which focuses on incubating and operating online beauty brands, has also begun to expand its business in offline channels. Interface fashion found that Addme, a brand of beauty collection store under Pellet Group, opened a store in Beijing and two stores in Zhengzhou.

  Source: addme WeChat WeChat official account

  The brands of online shopping malls are UNNYCLUB Youyi, RNW Ruwei, auou Aiyu and other own brands. Previously, these brands only did marketing and sales online, and the extension of Addme with the brand online is more like a test of water.

  Different from the lively scene when new beauty collection stores such as Harmay Plum and Haydon Black Hole stood at the investment outlet, the start of these new brands was obviously more cautious and low-key.

  The epidemic has repeatedly brought a lot of changes to the offline retail format, and some beauty collection stores that used to be entrepreneurial stars have rapidly declined in just one year.

  The "HAYDON Black Hole", once regarded as the apprentice of HARMAY’s plum blossom, was established at the end of 2020, and soon after it was established, it was obtained from Gao Ling.A round of financing invested by Tencent. The following year, HAYDON Black Hole announced the completion of the $100 million A+ round of financing, with a post-investment valuation of about $1 billion.

  However, almost all of HAYDON Black Hole’s 20 stores are closed now, except for the flash discount stores located in Wuxi Yueshang Outlets and Guangzhou Zhengjia Guangzhou Plaza. In addition, the official micro-signal of HAYDON black hole,No. and other updates will also stay at the end of 2022, and the online WeChat applet mall will no longer operate.

  Another brand that has disappeared is ONLY WRITE alone. Starting from the sinking market, the solo writing with the beauty blind box as the drainage means won two rounds of financing in 2021.

  Nowadays, there are almost no stores that are still operating, and the online social media accounts have already stopped at the end of 2022. It is worth mentioning that Zhou Jianlei, the founder of the independent brand, started his business early, and the Orange Beauty Collection Store is still open. Obviously, its channels have been contracted, and the supply chain resources have been migrated to the more mature Pi batch that was founded earlier.

  Nowadays, after the difficult year of 2022, the common point of those beauty collection stores that are still strong is to occupy a favorable store location, have a stable supply chain and cooperative brands.

  For example, HARMAY Huamei represented many overseas minority brands, and after purchasing Kevyn Aucoin, the eponymous brand founded by Hollywood professional makeup artists in the United States, it successively invested in French natural plant skin care brand Graine de Pastel and domestic skin care brand PMPM.

  Although the number of WOW COLOUR stores has halved in two years, until the beginning of 2022, the number of its stores nationwide is about 130, but WOW COLOUR customs clearance has been strengthened with orange blossom, book by book, Ximuyuan andAnd other domestic brands, consolidated the differentiated characteristics of its domestic makeup, and extensive channel network andAbility is still a bargaining chip when negotiating with new online brands.

  By the end of 2022, The Colorist, a brand of beauty collection store under KK Group, which is in IPO, has more than 200 stores. according toAccording to a recent report, by the end of 2021, there were nearly 250 stores in China’s beauty trend retail market, ranking third with a market share of 1.3%. Except for the number one brand, which dominates with a market share of 14%, the market share of other beauty retail brands is below 5%.

  This means that the beauty retail market is still relatively scattered, and new brands have opportunities to come in, but it is not easy to become bigger and stronger.

Greater opportunity

Hainan’s tourist highway around the island not only brings beautiful scenery, but also brings new opportunities. According to the data, the popularity of go on road trip has been rising recently. Sanya and Haikou rank among the top three in the hot list of self-driving tourist cities on New Year’s Day in China. Car rental orders in the two places increased by more than 50% month-on-month, and nearly 90% of the orders came from foreign tourists.

The company also set up an agricultural assistance mechanism according to local conditions, and set up an agricultural product sales exhibition area in the station to help the sales of Danzhou specialty products and agricultural and sideline products, and help villagers increase production and income.

The new atmosphere is not only around the characteristic post station, but the opening of the tourist highway around the island is bringing new changes to the lives of more and more people along the route.

The main line of Lingao section of Hainan Island Tourism Highway starts from Xinying Mangrove National Wetland Park and ends in the southwest of Daotao Village, Chengmai County, with a total length of about 58 kilometers. It connects many tourist attractions, characteristic industrial towns and beautiful countryside along the route. Previously, some villages were close to the sea, and villagers were engaged in offshore fishing. Because of the inconvenient transportation, even if they were adjacent to famous scenic spots, tourists did not know.

Nowadays, the tourist highway around the island has become a road to prosperity, and many tourists are attracted by the fishermen’s customs in the village. "The caught fish is not in demand, and many tourists are waiting to buy seafood at the scene!" Wang Ruoyu, secretary of the Party branch of Changgong Village, Lincheng Town, Lingao County, said, "At present, the village is actively moving closer to the leisure and cultural tourism industry. More than 20 villagers are willing to participate in the development of homestays, and many villagers are building new houses to prepare for homestay and catering business. In addition, the village will also carry out research projects. "

The tourist highway around the island has become a pioneering road. The "Listen to the Wind" B&B run by Chen Maosheng, an entrepreneurial youth in Lingao County and Xincun, is located next to the tourist highway, with a good location and beautiful scenery. The rooms during the Spring Festival have been booked out. "The tourist road around the island has revitalized the tourism resources of the entire western line of Hainan, and now our hotel business is by going up one flight of stairs!" Talking about the future development of B&B, Chen Maosheng is full of confidence.

The tourist highway around the island has become the way home. Wang Jinxia, who works in Haikou, is a villager in Futixi Village, Dongying Town, Lingao County. Her village is a well-known garlic planting village. After the tourist highway around the island was opened to traffic, a foreign enterprise invested in the project of "Wave Small Building Supporting Boat Songs" because of its advantages of being close to the tourist highway. Wang Jinxia returned to the village, found a new job as a store supervisor in the food court, and had a tourist meal at home with the villagers.

"In the future, we will continue to enrich the tourism elements of Binhai International Slow City, promote the transformation and upgrading of fisheries and the transfer of fishermen to other industries, create a unique Lingao highway tourism, and drive people along the line to increase their income and get rich." Wang Kaibo, director of the Tourism, Culture, Radio, Film and Television Sports Bureau of Lingao County, said.

At present, Hainan is actively planning to use the tourist highway around the island to drain water, do a good job in connecting the existing tourism products and resources along the highway, and rely on lighthouses, characteristic fishing villages and beaches along the highway to focus on creating colorful sections of the highway.

More perfect

"I didn’t expect the road around the island to be opened soon, and the infrastructure was so complete." In the parking area of Hongkanling, Qiaotou Town, Chengmai County, Mr. Huang, a tourist, experienced the first fully liquid-cooled super-charging station on the tourist highway around the island. While opening the car charging port, he logged into the "Hainan Charging" WeChat applet with his mobile phone, scanned the code and took the gun, and soon charged the car.

To enjoy the beautiful scenery on the road, a perfect public service package is essential. "There are 70 observation decks and parking areas in the whole line of the tourist highway around the island. At present, 45 observation decks have all been opened to tourists, 21 parking areas have been put into use, and the remaining 4 parking areas are also accelerating construction." Huang Peng, chief engineer of Hainan Provincial Department of Transportation, said that each observation deck has a small parking belt on the roadside for tourists to park temporarily, and some parking areas also have charging parking spaces to replenish new energy vehicles.

"At present, it is still the relatively primary version 1.0 of the tourist highway around the island, and we will continue to upgrade and update it in the future." Huang Peng introduced that in the next step, Hainan will optimize road network coordination, strengthen maintenance management, improve safety and emergency protection, strengthen the linkage between information wisdom and resource development, and deeply promote the "fine decoration" of Hainan’s tourist roads around the island.

Hainan’s tourist highway around the island is characterized by offshore, and a good marine environment is equally important.

"In recent years, Hainan has strengthened the protection and construction of beautiful bays, and the quality of marine ecological environment has continued to improve. In 2023, the water quality in Hainan’s coastal waters was generally excellent." Di Weijie, deputy director of the Department of Ecology and Environment of Hainan Province, said that in order to better protect the beautiful bay, Hainan has coordinated the verification and rectification of sewage outlets into the sea and the prevention and control of mariculture pollution, and has included 1985 sewage outlets into the sea in the supervision list, urging coastal cities and counties to carry out investigation and rectification. At the same time, the mandatory local standard "Aquaculture Tailwater Discharge Standard" will be implemented to further standardize the aquaculture tail water discharge and environmental supervision.

In order to maximize the value of tourist roads around the island, on December 25, 2023, the Interim Measures for the Management of Tourist Roads in Hainan Province was officially promulgated to systematically guide and standardize the development of tourist roads. Hainan will also draw up plans to lead the development of tourism, such as the Industrial Development Plan of Tourism Highway Around the Island Version 2.0, the Development Plan of Kangyang Tourism Industry, and the Tourism Product System Plan of Tropical Rainforest National Park Belt around Hainan.

On January 17th, Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Film and Sports released the LOGO (logo) of Hainan Island Tourism Highway-"Pearl of the South China Sea" to the world. In LOGO modeling, the combination of waves and roads looks like a crown and a beautiful garland, and the billowing waves seem to hold up a pearl. "We hope to enhance the awareness and recognition of the external image of Hainan Island Tourism Highway through brand identification." According to the relevant person in charge of the Tourism Department of Hainan Province, this year, Hainan will carry out the publicity and promotion of Hainan Island Tourism Highway (version 1.0), hold the theme contest of "Finding Wonderful Four Seasons" and other activities, and strive to "brand" the island tourism highway, coastal attractions and post stations, attract more tourists to the "pearl necklace" of the island tourism highway, and strive to build a "golden signboard" of Hainan International Tourism Consumption Center.

38 c+,waiting for a car like a sauna! When will the parking lot in South Station cool down?

Recently, in the underground parking lot of Beijing South Railway Station, which is at the peak of summer vacation, the hot and dry temperature has also attracted many people’s complaints. They call waiting for the bus like a sauna, "can’t stay".

At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, I just walked to the waiting area of the underground mezzanine network in the west parking lot of Beijing South Railway Station, and a burst of heat waves came. As the rows of pick-up cars pass by, the heat wave makes the surrounding temperature higher. Although, the seven fans hanging on the wall kept blowing the wind. But the temperature is too high, and the wind blowing on your body is also hot. Even so, passengers carrying big bags and small bags are still stuck under the fan. "Whether it is hot or not, it is always better to have wind."

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the people waiting for the bus were already sweating. At this time, the thermometer shows that the temperature in the waiting area has exceeded 38℃.

"Have been waiting for more than ten minutes, master, hurry up! It’s too hot in the parking lot. " In the crowd waiting for the bus, a passenger kept urging the driver of the online car. Hang up the phone, she kept fanning the wind with her hand, muttering, "I’ll remember it for a long time next time, and I’ll have to wait for the bus to arrive before entering the parking lot."

"Waiting for a car is like a sauna, sweating all over." As he spoke, the passenger next to him also took out a paper towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I heard that the waiting area of the east parking lot has been equipped with air conditioning, and it is very cool to wait for the bus there." It’s all parking lots. How uneasy is this west side! "

According to the passenger’s instructions, the reporter came to the mezzanine of the East Parking Lot. The "network car air conditioning waiting area" enclosed by transparent glass is very conspicuous. The glass room is cool and comfortable, with rows of seats, and dozens of passengers are waiting for the arrival of the network car.

"The air-conditioned waiting area in the east parking lot was just completed two days ago, and it will be much cooler to wait for the bus inside." A security guard whispered.

The reporter learned from 12345 that many passengers have reported that the waiting environment of the parking lot network is too hot. The staff of Beijing South Railway Station explained that due to the structural problems of the station, there is no condition for installing air conditioners in a large area. The hot weather in summer and the influence of automobile exhaust will bring uncomfortable experiences to passengers. The station is going to install air-conditioned glass waiting rooms in the waiting area of the network car in the east and west parking lots.

Just when leaving the South Railway Station, the reporter found that there was a circle of green enclosure in front of the waiting area of the west parking lot network, which was marked "No entry for non-construction workers". In the enclosure, the workers were busy. According to the workers, an air-conditioning waiting area is being built in the enclosure.

In this regard, the relevant staff of Beijing South Railway Station said that in response to the parking lot problem reflected by the public, relevant measures are being promoted, and the specific situation will be contacted with reporters later. As of press time, no follow-up news has been received.
