＂Galaxy Tutorial School＂： Not good enough, but sincere

　　Reminder: This article is a serious spoiler!

　　In this summer season full of surprises, "Galaxy Tutoring School" has become the biggest seed and "bailout" work. The screening and publicity path of "Galaxy Tutoring School" is very similar to the biggest winner of last summer’s "I am not the God of Medicine". Two months before its release, "Galaxy Tutoring School" held an advanced screening on Father’s Day, and before its official release, it also launched several consecutive days of screening in many cities across the country. The advance and large-scale film reflects the creators’ confidence in the quality of the film, and they hope that through the accumulation of good reputation, they will usher in an explosion after the official release.

　　But there was no denying that many people did not trust the names of the director column "Deng Chao and Yu Baimei" at the beginning. After all, the embarrassment of the "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel" co-directed by the two people was still lingering. Can "Galaxy Tutorial School" make the audience admire the director Deng Chao?

　　Big Dreams: Ma Fei’s Space Ideal

　　If it is simply summarized, "Galaxy Tutoring School" is a movie about education and fatherhood. But in detail, its timeline is quite long, spanning from 1990 to 2019, and it also contains three clear narrative threads. Each narrative thread will be integrated in the specific analysis below, involving very serious spoilers, please read carefully.

　　The first narrative line of the movie: In 2019, Ma Fei (played by Bai Yu) is the youngest astronaut in China. He follows the manned spaceship to the sky for a mission, but the spaceship is hit by a UFO and loses contact with the ground. The spaceship is in danger, and the astronauts may not be able to return. In the greatest desperate situation of life, Ma Fei recalls his most amazing father.

　　When an adult horse flies, he becomes an astronaut

　　The spaceship will definitely go back in the end. In the drama creation, the protagonist is in a dangerous situation, and what wants to highlight is the protagonist’s aura of saving from danger. And "Galaxy Tutoring School" also cleverly links this with China’s aerospace industry, patriotism, and the rise of a great power, giving the film the temperament of a gift film.

　　So, how did Ma Fei survive the danger?

　　In the critical moment, he remembered his father Ma Haowen (Deng Chao, played) once taught him, "Don’t admit defeat" and "always think", and how he escaped with the encouragement of his father during the catastrophic flood in 1998. In different time and space, his father’s teachings are just as effective, and Ma Fei solved the crisis of the spaceship.

　　Ma Fei’s Space Rescue

　　It needs to be mentioned that the movie is very scribbled and endless when dealing with Ma Fei’s sky self-rescue. After a while, life and death are rendered there, but the process of Ma Fei getting out of the cabin is very easy.

　　Since Ma Haowen’s influence on Ma Fei is so great – astronauts can only carry one thing with them in space, and Ma Fei also took away the globe made of football that Ma Haowen gave him; why was Ma Fei’s family seat empty when the spacecraft set off? Why didn’t Ma Haowen personally show up to see the child off?

　　The football globe held by the young boy Ma Fei is the most important "token" between him and his father.

　　Because Ma Fei felt that Ma Haowen’s "dark history" would affect his bright future. This enters the second important main line of the story, the "dark history" of his father Ma Haowen.

　　The Harsh Reality: The History of Ma Haowen’s Misfortune

　　It is not so much a "black history" as a history of suffering.

　　Wei Wei is familiar with "Asian Heroes". On the eve of the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, the Torch Relay movement was carried out in Dongpei City (the fictional city in the movie). Ma Haowen, as the construction engineer of Dongpei Bridge, also became a torchbearer, and he would run across Dongpei Bridge with the torch. But in the live TV broadcast and the attention of many people, the Dongpei Bridge, which had not yet been opened to traffic, collapsed.

　　Ma Haowen used to be a successful engineer

　　Ma Haowen took the blame for the entire design institute and was imprisoned. His wife Xinyu (Ren Suxi, played) divorced him, and the teenager Ma Fei was also bullied by his peers. It was already 1997 when he was released from prison early after commuting his sentence. After his release, Ma Haowen was ridiculed, criticized and insulted by his former friends and colleagues. He struggled to find information, write a complaint letter, and go to court, but there was no way to appeal.

　　Ma Haowen has no way to appeal

　　This is the sharpest part of the movie, which contains various criticisms of reality: the sophistication, calculation, indifference, and cruelty of the human heart; the contempt and neglect of the rights and interests of the little people by the arrogant and rigid administrative organs, and the habitual "kicking of the ball" to their demands… The idealism portrayed in the movie may be illusory, but these real predicaments that Ma Haowen faces will make the audience feel the same: Why is it so difficult for an ordinary person to live calmly and with dignity?

　　Ma Haowen persisted for more than 20 years, and the case finally had a bright moment. When Ma Haowen came to Ma Fei’s base for the first time and told him the news, what made Ma Haowen cold and unexpected was that Ma Fei persuaded him to give up the appeal. Because Ma Fei’s leader (Wu Jing, played) told him that the astronaut would become the focus, his birth experience would be dug up, and Ma Haowen’s past would become some kind of "obstacle" to Ma Fei.

　　Ma Haowen told Ma Fei that he thought his education of Ma Fei was a success, but now he found that he failed. He did not expect his son to despise his insistence for more than 20 years – to restore his innocent reputation – for his own future and interests. Ma Fei is not unaware of the hardships and hardships he has endured for this.

　　Although this clue is not the main point of the movie – many viewers may have ignored it in tears, but in my opinion, it is the most colorful chapter of the whole movie. It is a hard core hidden under the positive energy and sensational shell of this movie. If you bite it, you will be stung.

　　It even deconstructs the educational idealism of the entire film: How are egoists who are filled with the adult world or delicate or crude are cultivated? Why can the quality-oriented education that Ma Haowen insists on not prevent Ma Fei from becoming selfish? Could it be that the grand cause is important, and the rights and interests of an ordinary person can be ignored?

　　These all point to deeper issues, and it’s all up to the heart to understand.

　　The ideal education: Galaxy cram school

　　How did Ma Haowen train Ma Fei to become an astronaut? This was the core narrative thread of the movie, which took the most time and was the most colorful. It was also the origin of the movie’s title.

　　When Ma Fei was young, his teachers thought that his brain was lacking. After Ma Haowen was imprisoned, Ma Fei was bullied, and his mother and stepfather were busy with business sending him to boarding school. Ma Fei became a runaway wild horse. He was the last in his class, read Jin Yong’s novels in class, often missed class, and was expelled by the director of the teaching department Yan (Li Jianyi, played).

　　When Ma Fei was expelled, it was the day Ma Haowen was released from prison. After his ex-wife begged Director Yan to no avail, Ma Haowen made a bet with Director Yan in front of many teachers and students. Director Yan said that if Ma Fei was in the top 10 of the final exam class, he would not be expelled. Ma Haowen said: Not the top 10 in the class, but the top 10 in the grade.

　　This moment is very hot, and it also constitutes the biggest suspense in the movie: Can Ma Haowen really make Ma Fei, the last in the class, enter the top 10 in the grade?

　　Director Yan represented the older generation of educators who had gone through years of hardship and changed their destiny through education. They believed in the set of exam-oriented education, where grades were supreme and the college entrance examination was fixed for life. Therefore, there were only a few things in Director Yan’s educational "arsenal": more homework + sticks + a sense of shame. He looked down on bad students and regarded Ma Fei as a thorn in his side.

　　Ma Haowen’s understanding of education was completely opposite to Director Yan’s. Although it was 1997, Ma Haowen’s education method was far ahead of that era, and even today, it is still ahead of its time.

　　It is first and foremost an encouraging education. It is not to inspire the child’s sense of shame (as Ma Fei’s mother said, "This child is like this, it is hopeless"), but to sincerely believe that the child is a genius. Ma Haowen told Ma Fei, "You are the smartest child on earth." When he said this, he was not perfunctory, but his eyes were full of light, full of trust and firmness, which allowed Ma Fei to build up his confidence. Even after betting that Ma Fei’s first exam was fifth from the bottom of the class, Ma Haowen praised his son as great, and improved compared with the original last.

　　Ma Haowen kept telling Ma Fei, "You are the smartest child on earth"

　　Ma Haowen did not urge Ma Fei to study much. When Ma Fei asked him whether to sleep or read a book, he let Ma Fei make his own decision. The school assigned too much homework, and he also let Ma Fei love to complete it or not. In Ma Haowen’s opinion, children’s interest in learning is the most important. At the stage of their strongest learning ability, the heavy learning load every day will make them lose interest in learning and feel tired.

　　Just like at the end of the college entrance examination, senior high school students were tearing books frantically, and the pieces of paper fell like snowflakes. Director Yan thought this was a kind of release for the children. Ma Haowen asked, If senior high school students can’t wait to tear books, do they really love learning? Do they still have enthusiasm for learning?

　　When Ma Haowen asked Ma Fei what his learning goal was, Ma Fei said, "Go to Tsinghua University and Peking University." Ma Haowen said no, this is the process, not the goal, and what he wants to do in the future is the answer. Then Ma Haowen said the "golden sentence", "Life is like archery, dreams are like archery targets. If you can’t even find the target, what’s the point of pulling your bow every day?"

　　Ma Haowen understands that the purpose of learning is not for the temporary college entrance examination, the child’s interests and goals are the end of learning. Therefore, even though the final exam is coming soon, he still takes the child to "skip class" (the leave was rejected by Director Yan) for half a month to go to the aerospace exhibition. The head teacher Xiao Gao (Wang Xi, played) said that the final exam is the most important moment in Ma Fei’s life. Ma Haowen said: No, there is no most important moment. The most important moments in his life should be evenly distributed every minute and every second of his day.

　　In the final exam, Ma Fei really entered the top 10 of the grade, and his love for aerospace also contributed to his dream of aerospace.

　　defect

　　Obviously, in terms of differences in educational concepts, the film stood on Ma Haowen’s side. In several debates between Ma Haowen and Director Yan, Director Yan was defeated. The film also exaggerated Director Yan’s "unreasonable" and "deified" the feasibility of Ma Haowen’s education for Ma Fei.

　　In other words, the film’s discussion of exam-oriented education and quality-oriented education is simplified; its advocacy of quality-oriented education is too idealistic. The simplest reality is that the vast majority of civilian parents, without Ma Haowen’s ideas and insights, are exhausted, unlike Ma Haowen who could afford nearly 10,000 yuan of 586 computers for his children in the late 1990s, and have time to take their children on a half-month trip. And most children are also ordinary, and it is impossible to be like Ma Fei who can enter the top 10 of the grade in one semester without much study or review. In the case of uneven education quotas, exam-oriented education is still the best choice for ordinary families. You have to take the exam first to have more freedom of choice.

　　At the same time, the movie’s understanding of homework, exams, etc. is also very narrow. Ma Haowen’s comparison of steamed buns seems reasonable, but it is actually a little nonsense. Repeated steamed buns are indeed not delicious, but for most children with poor learning ability, they do have to be strengthened through repeated preview, review and homework to improve their understanding of knowledge. Although Ma Haowen has always wanted Ma Fei to learn ideas and methods, not just knowledge, knowledge is the premise of ideas and methods. The most basic knowledge is not firmly mastered and the foundation is not solid. What about further ideas and methods?

　　The director took it for granted too much, which determined that the influence of "Galaxy Tutoring School" on reality is very limited. It simply understands the current many educational issues, simply understands the differences in educational concepts, and does not touch the complex national conditions behind education in the slightest. It involves factors such as the duality of urban and rural areas, uneven educational quotas, cultural segregation of education, and difficulties in class mobility. On the contrary, there is such a suspicion that the educational problems with the nature of social problems are pushed to the parents, and become the parents’ personal concept problems.

　　Any parent who has been coerced into an education competition knows that there are many involuntary moments. As Ma Haowen’s ex-wife in the movie yelled, "Ma Fei is not your experiment." Few parents dare to experiment with their children’s future.

　　The essence of education is not as simple as believing in children or not

　　The conceptual level also affects the narrative level. Most of the characters in the movie are very flat, and they go to the end in one line, without any human hesitation. Like Ma Haowen, he is sure that his education of Ma Fei will be successful, but when he thinks of the situation where he was wronged and damaged, he has not worried about what kind of world Ma Fei will face when he grows up. The flatness of the characters serves that every turn and every touch in the narrative can reach the audience. Under the strong soundtrack, some parts of the movie are indeed tear-jerking, and it is very easy to cry, but it is over when the crying is over.

　　"Galaxy Tutoring School" could have been better. If the three threads interact with each other, rather than independently of each other, it can be a masterpiece to reach the real problem. As mentioned earlier, the second thread is the most colorful chapter in the movie. It is precisely because the director makes the three threads interact with each other. "The cruel reality" is dismantling the "grand dream" and "ideal education". The selfishness of the adult Ma Fei slaps Ma Haowen in the face, giving us a glimpse of something more powerful that affects education/reality. Although the director handles it this way, it may just be a simple suppression first and then a promotion, allowing the father and son to have a sublimation in their feelings.

　　Better than sincerity

　　Even so, "Galaxy Tutoring School" is still the best film co-directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei so far. It has many flaws, but it also has a valuable advantage: seriousness/sincerity.

　　The film’s time span is very long, and it reflects many major historical nodes in the 1990s, such as the Beijing Asian Games in 1990, the Asian Football Cup in 1992, the return of Hong Kong in 1997, and the flood in 1998. The director cleverly strung the whole story through a few familiar songs in the 1990s, such as Wei Wei’s "Asian Majestic Wind", Mao Amin’s "Desire", Han Lei’s "Walk Around", Liu Huan’s "Bending Moon", Chen Ming’s "Happy Home", and Leslie Cheung’s "Love of the Year". There is a strong sense of nostalgia.

　　The film’s reflections on education are immature, but also very sincere. This part reflects the growing experience of Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, as well as their current experience as fathers educating their children. Therefore, the film has Deng Chao’s "class limitations". I remember he said before that he should not give children cram schools, but let children have a happy childhood. This concept is of course not wrong for people in Deng Chao’s class, but if it is promoted to everyone as a concept, it will reveal a childish side.

　　And sincerity is even more reflected in the father-son relationship in the movie. Although the movie uses educational reflection as the "bone", it uses the father-son relationship as the "flesh"; one of the movie’s slogans is, "Dedicated to the father, for the child". The movie also has the feelings of the two directors as sons/fathers, full of their love for their respective fathers and children. The father-son relationship fills most of the details in the movie, which is true, delicate, moving, and tear-jerking.

　　It should be admitted that Deng Chao as an actor is much more attractive than Deng Chao as a variety MC, and variety shows consume a lot of people’s knowledge of the actor Deng Chao. One of the fundamental reasons why this movie stands up is that Deng Chao convincingly portrays the great father Ma Haowen, and interprets his unconditional "trust" and "love" for his son. Many of Ma Haowen’s lines are very chicken soup and empty, but Deng Chao’s body, expression, eyes, and speech skills make these slightly empty things fall to the ground. Ma Haowen really "believes", and everything is natural.

　　Deng Chao’s behind- the-scene photos when taking close-up shots, his eyes are very infectious

　　The screenwriter also condensed too many dramatic and strong plots in Ma Haowen, such as selling blood, being beaten by gangsters in order to protect his son, and searching for children in the flood. Every point is very tearful. Ma Haowen once said to Ma Fei, "The bridge will collapse, but Dad will not collapse." He silently endured all the injustices and suppression that fate gave him, and then showed the best qualities that a father should have in front of his children: bravery, confidence, wisdom, and not admitting defeat.

　　During the flood, the moment when Ma Haowen and his son were separated was a moment when many viewers grabbed paper towels

　　As far as the author is concerned, I would give "Galaxy Tutoring School" 70 points. This is a film with obvious flaws, whether it is the scribbling of the space line, the deliberate pandering with a little fake space, the redundancy of the emotional line between Ma Haowen and Teacher Xiao Gao, which can be completely eliminated, or the exaggerated portrayal of Director Yan and the naive thinking about education issues. But we should also see how rare it is for a film of the size of "Galaxy Tutoring School" to be released smoothly in this not peaceful summer season. It is "playing tricks", but it is also "balancing": Deng Chao and Yu Baimei will be the type of directors that investors like the most, because they are "safe" and profitable.

　　It is not a shameful thing to be a "moderate-minded person" and produce commercial blockbusters that are seriously lacking in the market. On the contrary, it is very important for the Chinese film market – just like the summer season, you have to rely on "Galaxy Tutoring School" to "save the file". The ideal ambition of film critics should not be expected to be realized by a movie for themselves. What’s more, if you carefully consider Ma Haowen’s injustice line, combined with the "betrayal" of the adult Ma Fei to his father, you can still feel a lot of complexity about reality.

　　"The Galactic School" is not the best realist work of its kind, but it belongs to realism.

315 Cases ｜ Ten Typical Cases of Consumers’ Association’s Maintenance of Consumer Fairness in 2020-2021

In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth CPC Central Committee and the Central Economic Work Conference, adhere to the people-centered development idea, promote common prosperity in high-quality development, promote social fairness and justice, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, the China Consumers Association has determined "2020-2021" on the basis of cases submitted by local consumer associations and recommendations by relevant experts.Ten typical cases of annual consumer association organization maintaining consumer fairness. "

In 2020-2021, the top ten typical cases of consumer justice organized by Consumers Association covered the current hot issues of consumer rights protection, including the inability to shut down the startup advertisement of smart TV, the compulsory tying of gas insurance by gas companies, the difficulty of refunding the loan due to the low-cost drainage of photo studios, the difficulty of stopping the business of training institutions without authorization, the charging of tolls for car maintenance parts, the tattoo of minors without the consent of guardians, the delay of refund due to force majeure by foreign airlines, and the difficulty of making an appointment for pre-sale foot bath bags.

These cases reflect the unfair phenomena in the field of consumption from different angles, such as compulsory transactions, unfair and unreasonable charges, overlord clauses and unfair treatment. Operators should take this as a warning, be honest and trustworthy, abide by public morality, be good at science and technology, operate according to law, care for the weak, treat each other equally, do not abuse their dominant position, and do not use technical means to infringe, and truly implement the principle of fairness in all aspects of production, publicity, contract, sales and after-sales, so that consumers can feel substantive fairness.

Consumption fairness is an important embodiment of social fairness and an important content of achieving common prosperity. When purchasing goods or receiving services, consumers have the right to obtain fair trading conditions such as quality assurance, reasonable price and correct measurement, and have the right to refuse the compulsory trading behavior of operators. China Consumers Association calls on all relevant sectors of society to take active actions to urge operators to strictly implement legal provisions, earnestly assume social responsibilities, pay more attention to the protection of consumers’ rights and interests, jointly promote consumer fairness, and constantly enhance consumers’ sense of acquisition, happiness and security.

Case 1: Public interest litigation case in which smart TV startup advertisements cannot be closed.

[Brief introduction of the case]

Since the second half of 2019, Jiangsu Consumer Rights Protection Committee will carry out a series of investigations, interviews and litigation actions to protect the rights of smart TVs. On December 12, 2019, Lerong Zhixin Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of LeTV, which refused to rectify, filed a consumer civil public interest lawsuit in accordance with the law, requesting the court to order the defendant to provide the smart TVs with boot advertisements that it sold with the function of turning off the boot advertisements with one button. After the first trial of Nanjing Intermediate People’s Court and the second trial of Jiangsu Higher People’s Court, in March 2021, Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee won the case. During this period, Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee and china electronic chamber of commerce jointly issued the group standard "Technical Specification for Smart TV Start-up Advertising", which is conducive to better leading the healthy development of smart TV industry.

[Expert Comments]

The widespread problem that the startup advertisement can’t be closed in the smart TV industry has been criticized by the society. Consumers’ Association launched a series of actions against this hot consumption issue, urged many operators with similar behaviors to rectify, and filed public interest litigation against enterprises involved who refused to rectify, which played a good educational warning role, effectively safeguarded consumer fairness, protected the legitimate rights and interests of many unspecified consumers, and promoted the development of related industry norms.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Smart TV power-on advertisements are forcibly implanted and cannot be closed, which seriously affects consumers’ viewing experience, and also violates "operators shall not send commercial information to consumers without their consent or request, or consumers expressly refuse" and "using the Internet to send and publish advertisements shall not affect users’ normal use of the network. Advertisements published in the form of pop-ups on Internet pages should be marked with a closing sign to ensure one-click closure. Operators of smart products should establish the value concept of science and technology for good, operate in good faith and abide by the law, ensure consumers enjoy equal consumption rights, and put an end to the use of technical means to implement compulsory transactions.

Case 2: Compulsory tying gas insurance case of gas company

[Brief introduction of the case]

On March 31, 2021, Mr. Xia, a consumer in Yunmeng County, Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, complained that when he applied for natural gas installation, the staff of the gas company forced consumers to buy gas insurance 300 yuan first, otherwise they would not install gas equipment. After Mr. Xia was forced to pay the fee, the gas company did not issue an invoice or receipt. After receiving the complaint, Yunmeng Consumer Council interviewed the gas company and pointed out that it is its due obligation to install natural gas equipment. Whether to buy gas insurance should be chosen by consumers, and the gas company has no right to force it. After mediation, the gas company refunded the consumers’ gas insurance fees, and rectified the problem of compulsory bundling.

[Expert Comments]

Compulsory tying in the field of public services not only harms the rights and interests of many consumers, but also is suspected of violating the Anti-Monopoly Law. Gas companies engaged in business activities shall not abuse their dominant market position, force tying or attach unreasonable trading conditions to transactions. Consumers’ associations perform their duties according to law, urge operators to correct illegal acts, effectively correct unfair consumption and safeguard the interests of many consumers.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Consumers have the right to fair trade according to law and have the right to refuse the compulsory trading behavior of operators. Operators shall protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and shall not set unfair and unreasonable trading conditions or force transactions. When consumers ask for purchase vouchers or service documents such as invoices, operators must issue them. Because of its public welfare nature, the state has invested public resources in the field of public services, and operators should pay more attention to the fairness of consumption, and must not arbitrarily bundle and charge fees on the basis of state statutory fees in violation of the law, thus harming the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

Case 3: Low-cost drainage of photo studio induces the handling of consumer loans.

[Brief introduction of the case]

In December, 2019, two college students signed up for the advertisement of Yan Yu Photography Company to experience costume photography for 19.9 yuan on a short video. After arriving at the store, I couldn’t stand the salesman’s promotion. I signed a photography order agreement of 1,100 yuan and a "supplementary agreement" of 1,588 yuan and 24,000 yuan to upgrade clothes, films and photo albums. The clerk also guided the two people to open the online loan service to borrow money for consumption. In the end, the two paid most of the expenses, leaving 5,900 yuan unpaid. During the filming and the night of departure, the two repeatedly proposed to delete photos and lower the package standard, which was rejected by the store for various reasons. In the absence of mediation, the Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee will guide the Hongkou District Consumer Protection Committee to support consumer prosecution. In February, 2021, Shanghai Hongkou Court decided to cancel the 1100 yuan order agreement and 24,000 yuan supplementary agreement signed by both parties, and the photo studio returned 18,600 yuan to consumers. The studio also promised to modify the terms of the contract format, so that customers can unconditionally cancel the contract within 24 hours after signing the contract.

[Expert Comments]

In the name of low-cost experience, merchants attract consumers to place orders by means of short videos and other promotional channels. In fact, in the process of providing services, they heavily induce consumers to increase prices and upgrade, make consumption decisions that go against their true intentions, and even induce college students to handle consumer loans beyond their ability to repay loans, which seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. Consumers’ Association supported consumers to win the lawsuit by requesting the support of the district procuratorate and contacting the district judicial bureau to appoint public interest lawyers, which effectively safeguarded consumers’ legitimate rights and interests and promoted social fairness and justice.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Operators should strictly abide by the laws and regulations, abide by business ethics, be honest and trustworthy, operate legally, and put an end to low-cost arbitrage, price increases at different levels, and restrict and mislead consumers. Microfinance companies should earnestly implement the Notice on Further Standardizing the Supervision and Management of College Students’ Internet Consumer Loans, strengthen marketing management, strictly review the pre-loan qualifications, strictly implement the second repayment source of college students, strictly control the credit qualifications of college students, and must not use deceptive, misleading or induced publicity to induce college students to apply for consumer loans. The vast number of consumers should keep a clear head about low-price sales, rationally consume according to their own consumption power, and avoid the trap of excessive consumption and high loans.

Case 4: It is difficult for a training institution to suspend business without authorization for refund.

[Brief introduction of the case]

Since May 2021, Chongqing Consumer Rights Protection Committee and Qianjiang Consumer Rights Protection Committee have successively accepted 151 consumers’ complaints that Chongqing Yunhan Art Training Co., Ltd. suddenly closed down after collecting consumer training fees and did not return the remaining training fees. On August 19th, Chongqing Consumer Protection Committee and Qianjiang District Consumer Protection Committee supported consumers to file a class action lawsuit with Qianjiang District People’s Court, and coordinated lawyers to provide litigation agency services for consumers. On November 17, the Qianjiang District People’s Court of Chongqing held a public hearing to hear the case. In the final judgment, the defendant will refund the consumer training fee within ten days from the effective date of the judgment.

[Expert Comments]

It is a prominent infringement problem in recent years that off-campus training institutions collect training fees, refuse to perform their duties and do not refund the remaining training fees. This kind of case involves a large number of consumers and has great social security risks. The two-level consumer associations actively responded and took the initiative to help consumers file class actions and achieved good results, which played an important leading role in maintaining social stability and promoting consumer fairness.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Off-campus training institutions shall strictly implement the Notice on Strengthening the Supervision of Off-campus Training Institutions’ Pre-charging, and shall not charge fees for more than 3 months or 60 class hours in a lump sum or in the form of recharge or sub-card. For the training institutions, the pre-paid fees are fully included in the scope of supervision, and risk management and control are carried out through bank custody and risk margin. Strict training loan management, it is forbidden to induce installment loans to pay off-campus training fees.

Case 5: The case of automobile maintenance spare parts with fake parts as real ones.

[Brief introduction of the case]

In March 2021, Ms. Gui, a consumer, chose an offline repair shop for routine maintenance through an online car maintenance platform, which cost a total of 6,000 yuan. However, the front and rear four brake discs and front wheel brake pads replaced by the auto repair factory were not the original parts promised, and the 20,000-kilometer front brake disc will still be used for replacement, which is suspected of over-maintenance. After mediation by Nanjing Consumers Association, the auto repair factory apologized to the consumers and made a refund of one compensation and three compensation.

[Expert Comments]

The chaos in the field of automobile maintenance is frequent, and the key lies in the dishonesty and disobedience of some operators. Due to opaque information, consumers lack professional knowledge and consumption experience, and it is difficult to see through all kinds of routines in the automobile maintenance industry. Through the professional support of the automobile professional committee, the Consumers Association helps consumers to obtain punitive damages, effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the disadvantaged consumers.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Automobile maintenance operators should earnestly improve their awareness of the rule of law, ensure the quality and quantity, keep their promises, buy and sell fairly, and provide sincere service, so as to prevent the fake from being genuine, excessive maintenance and cheating consumers. The vast number of consumers should pay attention to check the qualification of the garage before maintenance and understand the basic knowledge of automobile maintenance; When maintaining, a written contract should be signed to specify the repair items, prices, accessories and warranty period. After maintenance, it is necessary to check in time, and ask for invoices, expense lists, accessories vouchers, etc. Once it is found that the auto repairer has excessive maintenance and fraud, it is necessary to complain and report in time and protect rights according to law.

Case 6: The case of toll collection for limited-time traffic when highway cards are set up.

[Brief introduction of the case]

In September, 2021, according to the clues reflected by consumers, the Consumers Association of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region found that a cultural tourism company set up checkpoints on two highway routes, the national highway and the provincial highway, and charged the 120 yuan fee for each passing vehicle in the form of a stop deposit. If it did not pass through the road within a limited time (12 kilometers for 25 minutes and 38 kilometers for 60 minutes), the deposit would not be refunded. In response to the company’s illegal behavior, the Inner Mongolia Consumers Association, together with lawyers from the lawyers’ group and TV reporters, conducted investigation and evidence collection, held discussions with local transportation, cultural tourism and other departments, and urged the company to immediately rectify the illegal behavior and dismantle the two highways as soon as possible. In October, 2021, the company dismantled the road cards on the national and provincial roads.

[Expert Comments]

In some places, illegal card setting fees often appear, which not only increases the burden on consumers, infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of many unspecified consumers, but also restricts the choice of reasonable consumption such as eating and living along the way. The practice of time-limited traffic will also adversely affect the traffic order and driving safety of passing vehicles and, to a certain extent, destroy the impression of foreigners on the local area. Consumers’ Association urged the operators involved in litigation to rectify according to law, avoided economic losses for many consumers, cleared the "roadblock" of arbitrary charges, and achieved good social effects.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Highways are protected by the state, and no unit or individual may illegally occupy them, or illegally set up checkpoints, collect fees, impose fines or intercept vehicles on highways. Operators can’t make use of infrastructure such as highways, illegally set up checkpoints to collect fees, or illegally charge extra fees and set their own punishment measures, which will undermine road traffic safety and traffic order. When consumers find such illegal acts, they should promptly complain and report them in order to effectively stop and correct them.

Case 7 Tattooing a minor without guardian’s consent

[Brief introduction of the case]

In July 2021, Ms. Lin, a consumer, accidentally discovered that her 13-year-old daughter had tattoos on her thighs and chest. There are patterns, Chinese characters and letters in these tattoos, which are all kinds, which are incompatible with their childish faces. Under questioning, I know that the child spent 700 yuan getting a tattoo in a tattoo shop. Ms. Lin refused to ask the merchant to refund the tattoo fee, so she complained to Zhenhai Branch of the Consumer Council of Licheng District, Putian City, Fujian Province. The staff of Zhenhai Branch pointed out that the operators tattooed the consumers without the consent of their legal guardians, which infringed on the physical and mental health of minors. After mediation, the merchant refunded Ms. Lin’s 700 yuan tattoo fee.

[Expert Comments]

Tattooing may hinder minors’ further education, enlistment and employment, and adversely affect minors’ rights such as health, development, protection and social participation. The 13-year-old minors are immature and belong to people with limited capacity for civil conduct. Their age, intelligence and social experience are still unable to judge the possible damage and influence of tattoos on themselves. The behavior of purchasing tattoo services is beyond their age and intelligence. It is of great significance for consumers’ associations to organize mediation according to law to standardize business operations, protect the legitimate rights and interests of minors and care for their physical and mental health.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Protecting the legitimate rights and interests of minors is the common responsibility of the whole society. Business operators should fulfill their duty of care when providing commodities or services to minors. Parents, as legal guardians, should guide minors to establish a correct concept of consumption. Minors engage in consumption that is incompatible with their age and intelligence privately. Without the consent and ratification of guardians, their consumption behavior is invalid, and guardians have the right to ask operators to refund the paid price or make corresponding compensation.

Case 8 Foreign Airlines Delayed Refund Due to Force Majeure

[Brief introduction of the case]

On March 7, 2020, consumer Ms. Wang spent 2093 yuan on a domestic booking website to buy a foreign airline ticket. Due to the cancellation of the epidemic flight, Ms. Wang only received a refund of 167 yuan according to the airline refund regulations. Ms. Wang complained to the Consumers Association of Chaoyang District, Beijing after many unsuccessful communication with booking websites and airlines. After investigation, the airline introduced a refund policy on March 19, saying that those who cannot make a trip after March 19 can only change their tickets and cannot refund their tickets. Chaoyang District Consumers Association pointed out that it is not the responsibility of consumers to cancel flights due to force majeure, and consumers should not bear the risks alone. On April 15th, the airline announced that tickets booked before May 31st can be changed or exchanged for travel vouchers. If they are not changed or exchanged for travel vouchers, they can be refunded two years later. Chaoyang District Consumers Association believes that this policy still does not comply with the relevant laws of China and should continue to be rectified. In the end, the booking company and the airline, with the consent of consumers, negotiated and decided to fully refund the purchase money of consumers within two months. The airline also canceled the period of refund after two years in the refund clause and revised it to "If you can’t travel, you can still apply for a refund without handling fees".

[Expert Comments]

It is a typical unfair format clause that airlines cancel flights because of the epidemic but ask consumers to bear all the losses. When conducting business in China, foreign business operators should abide by Chinese laws and regulations, treat consumers fairly and effectively protect their legitimate rights and interests. Consumers’ Association is not afraid of difficulties, communicating with airlines and booking websites in time, effectively resolving consumer disputes, not only safeguarding consumers’ legitimate rights and interests, but also prompting foreign operators to cancel unfair format clauses, which has a good demonstration significance.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

If the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved due to force majeure, the consumer may terminate the contract. According to the influence of force majeure, the liability may be exempted in part or in whole. Where a business operator advocates continuing to perform or modifying or supplementing the contents of goods or services on the basis of the original agreement, it shall obtain the consent and consensus of consumers. Operators shall not make unfair and unreasonable provisions such as excluding or restricting consumers’ rights, reducing or exempting operators’ responsibilities, and aggravating consumers’ responsibilities through standard clauses. Otherwise, its content is invalid.

Case 9 Pre-sale Foot Bath Bag Annual Card is difficult to make an appointment without refund.

[Brief introduction of the case]

From March to August, 2021, Cicheng Consumer Protection Branch of Jiangbei District Consumer Protection Committee of Ningbo received 15 complaints from consumers asking for a refund from a foot bath company. Consumers claim that the company sells a 1300-yuan annual subscription card on the Internet platform, claiming that with this card, you can enjoy free foot baths in various foot bath shops in Ningbo for 365 days. When consumers actually use it, the store always refuses to make an appointment on the grounds that the quota of the day has been used up. The consumer asked for a refund, but the company refused on the grounds that the card would not be refunded once it was sold, and the final interpretation right belonged to the merchant. After receiving the complaint, Cicheng Consumer Protection Branch interviewed the person in charge of the company, pointing out its problems such as excessive card issuance, insufficient reception capacity and unfair format terms. After mediation, the company refunded 15 consumers.

[Expert Comments]

Prepaid consumption often faces difficulties in guaranteeing the quality of service, easily getting a refund when buying, too many restrictions in the "overlord clause", and operators closing stores and "running away" without authorization, which leads to the damage of consumers’ rights and interests. In this case, the Consumers Association organized timely interviews and mediation according to law, which effectively corrected the illegal acts of operators and safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of many consumers.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Operators to carry out prepaid business should reasonably evaluate the number of card issuance and service ability to ensure the purchasing experience of consumers; When formulating format clauses, notices, statements and shop notices, the rights and obligations of both parties shall be agreed fairly and reasonably, and unfair and unreasonable provisions shall not be made to harm the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. When consumers make prepaid consumption, they should do what they can, keep calm and rational, and avoid one-time high recharge; Before payment, it is necessary to sign a written agreement with the operator to clarify the rights and obligations, focusing on the details of the prepaid card, such as the amount, function, scope of application, validity period, refund conditions, liability for breach of contract, etc., especially the termination of service and transfer restrictions. The verbal commitment to the merchant should be written into the agreement, and the bill should be requested in time after each consumption. Found illegal behavior, abnormal operation, timely complaints and reports.

Case 10 The jewelry store oversold the elderly consumers.

[Brief introduction of the case]

In August 2021, 60-year-old Ms. Chen was surrounded by several clerks in a jewelry store to promote jewelry while shopping in the mall. After brainwashing, consumers promised to buy jewelry with a total price of 680,000 yuan. Because she didn’t know how to operate the mobile phone, the clerk used Ms. Chen’s mobile phone to transfer 100,000 yuan to her personal account twice. The consumer asked for the bill, and the clerk said that if the consumption was less than 200,000, a receipt could not be issued. Worried that she couldn’t get the paid fees back, Ms. Chen went home to get the bank card, and under the guidance of the clerk, she paid another 100,000 yuan by credit card, and paid a total of 200,000 yuan as a jewelry deposit. There was no contract and signature confirmation in the whole transaction process. After returning home, Ms. Chen felt deeply wrong, and her request for a refund from the jewelry store was rejected, so she complained to Shilong Branch of Dongguan Consumer Council, Guangdong Province. The staff of Shilong Branch interviewed the relevant person in charge of the jewelry store and pointed out that its sales promotion behavior was suspected of deceiving and misleading the elderly who were over 60 years old, and was suspected of infringing consumers’ right to know and fair trade. After mediation, the jewelry store returned the deposit of 185,000 yuan to Ms. Chen, and the remaining deposit of 15,000 yuan was offset by the equivalent items in the store, and the unpaid deposit of 480,000 yuan was no longer pursued.

[Expert Comments]

In this case, the jewelry store clerk used the weakness of the elderly’s lack of social cognition to induce them to buy huge amounts of jewelry and charge a high deposit, and coerced the elderly to go home to withdraw money on the grounds that they could not issue a receipt for less than 200,000 yuan, which seriously infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly consumers, damaged the consumers’ right to know and fair trade, violated social morality and violated fairness and justice. Consumers’ Association organizes timely interviews with operators, properly handles consumer disputes, and effectively protects the legitimate rights and interests of elderly consumers in a weak position.

[Guidelines for Rights Protection]

Protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly is the common responsibility of the whole society. Operators should abide by social morality and consciously provide special care for the elderly. It is not only against the law to make false propaganda and deceive the elderly, but also to be spurned by the society. Older consumers should pay attention to learning consumer knowledge, improve their awareness of self-prevention, not trust the verbal promises of operators, and be wary of brainwashing sales. Before buying products and receiving services, it is best to consult your children or professionals and relevant departments, and do not covet small profits or impulse consumption. If you find that your rights and interests are damaged, pay attention to retaining evidence and complain about your rights in time.

Huawei WANG Tao： Empowering all kinds of industries and accelerating industry intelligence.

Since the beginning of this year, artificial intelligence has made breakthrough progress, and large models have shown various prosperity; In the industry, artificial intelligence has also begun to go deeper and serve more and more business scenarios.

On the one hand, artificial intelligence technology ushered in an inflection point, from perceptual understanding to content generation, from single mode to multi-mode, from dedicated to universal. On the other hand, the application of artificial intelligence has ushered in a singularity, and it is accelerating to enter the industrial production system. In the next two years, it will go deep into more than 50% of the core scenes of the industry, create trillions of dollars of new value, and gradually become the main engine of digital economic growth.

Industry intelligence is reshaping our times, and the intelligent future is accelerating.

(4) Huawei WANG Tao: Enabling various modes, empowering thousands of industries and accelerating industry intelligence (3) 247.jpg.
Wang Tao, Managing Director of Huawei, Director of ICT Infrastructure Business Management Committee and President of Enterprise BG, delivered a keynote speech.

Industry intelligence faces four challenges: data, computing power, algorithm and application deployment.

However, the process of industry intelligence is not smooth sailing, and this process faces four challenges: data, computing power, algorithm and application deployment.

First of all, industry data is difficult to collect, transmit and use. Secondly, large-scale model training needs a lot of computing power, and enterprises need flexible computing power supply to meet diverse computing power needs. Thirdly, it is difficult for the basic large model to meet the accuracy requirements of enterprises, and a large number of industry large models and scene large models are needed. Finally, the business processes and business scenarios of enterprises are very complex, and how to deeply integrate AI with enterprise business is a problem that needs to be considered.

The key to speeding up the intelligentization of the industry is to make use of smart data, intelligent calculation and intelligent assignment.

In the face of the above challenges, the key to accelerating the intelligentization of the industry needs to start from three aspects: intelligent knowledge of everything, intelligent calculation of everything, and intelligent empowerment of everything.

First of all, Zhilian Everything, through intelligent perception and connection, realizes extensive collection and efficient transmission of industry data. Industry intelligence is inseparable from data, and the source of data is perception. In the past, the perception system was seven countries and eight systems, and the protocol was not unified, so the data could not be collected, collected incompletely and could not be read. In the era of intelligence, the perception system needs to be upgraded in an all-round way, so as to realize multidimensional ubiquity, open interconnection, intelligent interaction and easy-to-use intelligence.

For example, in order to realize open interconnection, HarmonyOS IOT operating system realizes data collaboration through distributed soft bus, unifies the language of sensing devices, and has the characteristics of super security, easy use and easy maintenance. HarmonyOS is moving towards various industry scenarios, and Huawei has developed "Mine Hong" for mining industry, "Dianhong" for power industry, and IOT operating systems for cities such as HarmonyOS.

Secondly, we can calculate thousands of numbers intelligently, and rely on a powerful computing base to tap the value of industry data, so that it can be varied.

The data should not only be collected completely and well, but also be connected widely and spread quickly, which requires high-quality connection to realize the intelligent connection of everything, ultra-wide flexibility, intelligence and self-control. At the same time, in the network convergence and backbone layer, the 400G/800G metropolitan area network enables enterprises to quickly connect clouds, calculate and combine intelligence, enabling "east counting and west counting", "east counting and west training" and "east counting and west saving".

Huawei’s high-quality 10 Gigabit campus network, with one network bearing the needs of office, production and Internet of Things. Extreme speed AP supports various access modes such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and RFID, and seamlessly connects various terminals. Intelligent SD-WAN gateway adopts optimized transport layer protocol, and the bandwidth utilization rate is increased by 8 times under the condition of 1% packet loss rate. At the same time, the end-to-end slicing network guarantees various business experiences; Network AI big model, improve predictive maintenance ability, nip in the bud, and ensure network uninterrupted and production uninterrupted.

Third, give wisdom to all industries, solve the problem that AI is difficult to land in industry scenes, realize the deep integration of various modes and industry scenes, and empower thousands of industries.

Together with its industrial partners, Huawei has jointly built an open and leading AI-based software and hardware platform, built a solid computing base in China and built a second choice for the world.

On the hardware level, based on Shengteng, Huawei and its partners have created a full range of artificial intelligence products such as modules, boards, training and push machines, servers, PoD and clusters, covering the whole scene of "cloud, edge and end". Artificial intelligence has entered the era of big model, and large computing power cluster is becoming the commanding height and core engine of artificial intelligence development.

The big computing cluster here is not a simple server stack, but a continuous breakthrough in key technologies such as computing architecture, ultra-high-speed network interconnection, large-capacity ultra-high-speed storage, and system-level ultra-high reliability.

Atlas 900 SuperCluster, a rising AI computing cluster with a new architecture, was launched.

As artificial intelligence enters the era of big model, big computing power is becoming the core engine of artificial intelligence development. Huawei changed the traditional server stacking mode, created an AI cluster with system architecture innovation, realized the integrated design of computing power, transportation capacity and storage capacity, and broke through the bottleneck of large computing power.

Facing the era of large model with trillions of parameters, Huawei launched ——Atlas 900 SuperCluster, a rising AI computing cluster with a new architecture, which can support large model training with trillions of parameters. According to insiders, it has three advantages.

First of all, it has achieved super-large scale.

Relying on Huawei’s long-term accumulation in the network field, the brand-new Huawei Xinghe AI intelligent computing switch CloudEngine XH16800 is adopted, and with its highest 800GE port capability in the industry, 18,000-card non-convergence cluster networking can be realized only by two-layer switching network.

Secondly, an innovative super-node architecture is adopted.

The cards are interconnected by 800GB high-speed bus to form a super node. Taking an 8-cabinet super node as an example, it can realize unified addressing of 544TB memory and unified scheduling of 200P FP16 computing resources. The whole cabinet adopts liquid cooling design, which realizes stronger computing power with smaller volume, and one cabinet tops two cabinets.

Thirdly, the system-level ultra-high reliability is realized.

Based on Huawei’s years of accumulation in computing, network, storage, energy and other fields, we will give full play to the comprehensive advantages at the system level, build an ultra-high and reliable training cluster, improve the reliability by 10 times, and improve the stability of large-scale model training from the sky level to the month level.

In addition, hardware enabling is the key to release large computing power, and it is also the basis of large-scale model development. In order to accelerate the innovation of big models, Huawei has released a more open and easy-to-use CANN7.0, which is not only fully compatible with the industry’s AI framework, acceleration library and mainstream big models, but also deeply open the underlying capabilities, so that the AI framework and acceleration library can directly call and manage computing resources, so that developers can customize high-performance operators and make big models have differentiated competitiveness.

Facing the development of Transformer network model, Huawei upgraded Ascend C programming language, simplified the logic of operator implementation with a more efficient programming method, shortened the development cycle of fusion operator from 2 person-months to 2 person-weeks, and enabled the rapid development of AI models and applications.

Work with customers and partners to release intelligent solutions for nine industries.

Aiming at the pain points of demand and doing practical things is not only the spirit of hard work that the whole society needs most, but also the purpose of Huawei’s digital and intelligent transformation of the industry.

In the past three years, Huawei has set up an industry corps to go deep into the industry and scenes, shorten the management chain vertically, and better respond to customers’ intelligent needs; Quickly integrate R&D resources horizontally and fully support the intelligent transformation of thousands of industries. At present, Huawei has built more than 200 intelligent solutions for more than 20 industries, such as cities, finance, transportation and manufacturing, and has been applied in a series of intelligent projects.

Based on the latest industry intelligent reference architecture, Huawei has jointly released intelligent solutions for nine industries, including finance, government affairs, manufacturing, electric power and railway. In the future, Huawei will continue to work with partners to create more industry solutions and promote the deep integration of AI and industry scenarios.

Launch the white paper "Accelerating Industry Intelligence"

Combined with the practice with a large number of customers and partners and the prospect of smart world 2030, Huawei also officially released the white paper "Accelerating Industry Intelligence".

The white paper proposes that artificial intelligence has become the core kinetic energy to promote social development and change, and is serving more and more industry scenarios and helping the industry upgrade. In order to better promote the innovative application of artificial intelligence, Industry-University-Research needs multi-party participation and collaboration, capacity co-construction and ecological co-creation, and under the premise of grasping the intelligent development trend of the industry, it will continue to pursue technological innovation, focus on engineering practice, and promote the AI application to go deep into reality, so that it can be varied and empowered.

The white paper has been recommended by many academicians, which embodies the experience and wisdom of all parties. It not only includes the development trend and latest trends of artificial intelligence, the application exploration of artificial intelligence in 63 scenarios in 16 industries, but also selects intelligent innovation practices in 18 industries, hoping to provide more specific help and reference for the implementation and landing of intelligent transformation in thousands of industries.

Intelligentization has opened a new chapter. Facing the opportunities and challenges of the intelligent age, let’s forge ahead hand in hand and build a solid computing base together, so that we can go deep into the scene in various ways, empower thousands of industries and accelerate the intelligence of the industry!

In 2023, both the new energy market and the fuel vehicle market have entered a state of fierce competition. The major car companies are crazy about the price and allocation of vehicles, and the reason is also to make the market share up. Among them, BYD has brought the champion model with lower price, which has indeed added a lot of help to its sales. Now Chery’s champion model has arrived as scheduled.

A few days ago, Chery Automobile announced that the Tiggo 8 PRO Champion Edition and PHEV Champion Edition models were officially launched. The price range of the Tiggo 8 PRO Champion Edition was 126,900-163,900 yuan, and the price range of the Tiggo 8 New Energy Champion Edition was 137,900-159,900 yuan.

In terms of car purchase benefits, Chery has also brought you a six-fold car purchase gift, including paying 1,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan in cash-filled red envelopes, enjoying a replacement subsidy of 15,000 yuan at the highest level, a lifetime warranty for the whole vehicle, a financial discount of 7,000 yuan, and a lifetime free basic flow, etc., which is full of sincerity.

Both cars are sincere.

In terms of appearance, the new car focuses on adding time gray body color, and adjusts the shape of the new car’s air intake grille, providing a fiercer air intake grille, a shiny Chery Logo and decorative strips. In addition, the new car also provides larger body wheels, such as 18-inch and 19-inch wheels and different styles, which greatly improves the visual effect. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4745/1860/1745mm and the wheelbase is 2710mm respectively.

The interior and configuration are basically the same, and the interior is the same as the cash. It adopts a three-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel, equipped with a 12.3-inch curved double screen, and adopts the Lion car system. A large number of metal decorative pieces are used in the interior, which further enhances the luxury of the interior.

Among them, the Tiggo 8 PRO Champion Edition has added a black and light brown color scheme. As a medium-sized SUV, it also provides a seven-seat layout that can be used in an emergency. The new car has also introduced the well-received Queen’s co-pilot seat, but it has changed greatly in terms of the car. It has been replaced with a more mainstream Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, which can realize the functions of video playback with 4K resolution, 3D navigation, panoramic images and so on, and supports 5G network and V2X car networking technology.

In addition, the Tiggo 8 PRO Champion Edition also provides a series of comfort configurations and intelligent configurations such as 540-degree reversing image, electric heating of exterior rearview mirror, driving recorder, inductive tailgate, front seat heating, lane keeping, reversing side warning, HUD head-up display and so on.

In terms of power, the Tiggo 8 PRO Champion Edition continues to use the current 1.6T and 2.0T engines. Among them, the 1.6T turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 145kW and a maximum torque of 290 N m; The maximum power and torque of 2.0T engine are 187kW and 390 N m respectively. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the high-equipped models will also be equipped with a four-wheel drive system.

Tiggo 8 New Energy Champion Edition is equipped with the power combination of 1.5T super-efficient engine and dual motors for hybrid power. The comprehensive power of the system is 240kW, and the comprehensive torque is 545N.m It only takes 7.2 seconds to accelerate 100 km, and at the same time, it realizes super power output in full speed range, 2 seconds for 0-30km, 3.1 seconds for 30-70km and 3.8 seconds for 60-100km.

Tiggo 8 New Energy Champion Edition is equipped with a hybrid special 3-speed DHT electric hybrid system and a hybrid special ternary lithium battery, which can achieve a comprehensive battery life of 1000km+. At the same time, the car is also a "fuel-saving weapon", and the minimum fuel consumption under WLTC working condition is 5.95L/100km, which fits the user’s pursuit of fuel economy to the maximum extent. Moreover, the Tiggo 8 New Energy Champion Edition supports fast/slow charging, and the 220V power supply can be charged at will. It takes only 25 minutes to charge the power from 30% to 80%, making it more convenient for users to travel long distances.

Can you break the championship battle?

Since the beginning of the year, China auto market is experiencing an unprecedented price storm, which has spread to every corner of fuel vehicles and new energy sources. It is this storm that broke the traditional product pattern and consumption concept in the past. If Tesla’s official demotion at the beginning of the year was the first shot to start this year’s price war, then BYD Qin PLUS DM-i Champion Edition was the most powerful response of its own brand, and one after another "Champion Edition" models that followed it completely brought the story to a climax.

Especially in BYD Song plus, a market segment, it has become the king. It not only beat down the price of cooperative brand SUVs, but also made independent brand SUVs follow suit crazily, and launched brand-new products to compete with it, such as Geely’s Galaxy L7, Harvard’s Xiaolong and other new energy products, which made the competition in this market segment more intense. Now the sales of the latter two have steadily increased, which is enough to show that the market is very inclusive as long as the product strength and price are appropriate.

In addition to the Tiggo 8 PRO Champion Edition with high cost performance, the Tiggo 8 New Energy Champion Edition has launched a 55km leading edition, a 100km glory edition and a 100km king edition to meet the diversified car needs of users. At the same time, with the price range of 130,000-150,000 yuan and the Tiggo 8 New Energy Champion Edition, it achieved "the same price of oil and electricity" and entered the increasingly competitive mixed market, becoming the best solution in the minds of potential users.

Since its launch, Chery Tiggo 8 series has won the market and reputation with its excellent product strength and high cost performance. It sold 20,440 new cars in July, and the cumulative sales from January to July this year reached 117,799. Now Chery has brought a lower-priced champion model on the basis of the high product strength of the Tiggo 8, and there is also a new energy champion version of the Tiggo 8 with the same price of oil and electricity. I believe that in the future, it will also seize and occupy a place in the increasingly "involuted" mixed market, so that more users can have more suitable and higher-value new choices, and at the same time, the sales of the Tiggo 8 series will be further improved.

Huawei’s unmanned parking service video exposure once again shows its far-reaching strength

Original title:Huawei has no parking service video exposure, and it is difficult to find a parking position.

Now, on weekends and holidays, it is even less difficult to drive to shopping malls and scenic spots, and sometimes it is no less difficult than finding a parking space in the city center.

As the owner said, "Sometimes there are vacancies in the underground parking lots of shopping malls and hospitals, but the venues are large and there are no obvious signs. They can only search around several times like blind flies, and finally find a seat, and the result is" cut off "by the owner who is closer. When picking up the car, I often get’ lost’ and circle around in the parking lot to find a car. "

At this time, many people begin to regret driving to the mall. However, if you want to visit Sam and IKEA, which are generally remote supermarkets, public transportation is very inconvenient, and taking a taxi is expensive. After shopping, it is quite difficult to find a place to take a taxi.

When I think about it carefully, it seems that driving has become the most worry-free and labor-saving way. It is nothing more than the psychological preparation for wasting an hour in the parking lot in advance.

In the field of intelligent driving, which has developed rapidly recently, there are brand-new solutions to the problems of difficult parking and parking.

Zhijie S7, the first pure electric car of Huawei Intelligent Selection Car, which was pre-sold on November 9, is equipped with the industry’s first parking and driving function, once again showing the far-ahead intelligent driving strength to the industry and outside.

The problem of finding a parking space is solved by injecting driving into parking.

From a functional point of view, the parking and driving function allows the owner to open unmanned parking with one button.

That is, when the owner gets off the bus, turn on this function with one key, and the vehicle can find a parking space to park itself.

It sounds very sci-fi, and Huawei has successfully brought this unprecedented intelligent driving experience to users through the technological breakthrough of intelligent driving perception technology, algorithm iteration and scene strategy.

In other words, with this function, users can go to Sam and IKEA, drive directly to the entrance of the shopping mall or the entrance of the parking lot, and then go shopping, and Zhijie S7 can start the journey of finding a parking space by itself.

Explore the store BYD Han, the terminal has no discount, and the first two luxury versions are introduced.

After the implementation of the latest foreign brand restriction policy in Shanghai, many former foreign brand owners have set their sights on the new energy vehicle market. Among many automobile brands, BYD has always been the first choice for many consumers, especially the newly launched Han, which can be seen everywhere in Shanghai, even in the suburbs. Therefore, taking this opportunity to come to BYD 4S store, let’s take a look at why this popular car can sell so well, and finally bring you its purchase recommendation.

When I arrived at BYD 4S store in the morning, I could see a row of test cars parked there quietly next to the door, including two in BYD Han, namely Han EV (parameter picture) and Han DM. The current sales volume of this car can be seen. Oh, by the way, through this picture, the difference between the two versions, the red one without grille is EV, and the gray one with air intake grille next to it is DM, which is very simple to distinguish.

Compared with the whole BYD family, Han’s style can also be described as unique. After the slender headlights are connected with the chrome-plated decoration in the middle, they look elegant and sporty with the pressed front. However, I don’t think the gray version of the exhibition hall looks as good as red.

If you don’t talk about the body parameters, I think you can guess the level of this car by the slender size of the side. Yes, Han’s positioning is a medium and large car. Its car length has reached 4980mm, and its wheelbase has reached 2920 mm. In addition, the use of hidden door handles also conforms to the image that a pure electric vehicle should have. The ubiquitous chrome-plated material makes the car side exquisite as well.

In addition, it should be noted that the C-pillar of the ultra-long battery life version (two-wheel drive) of Han EV is different from that of the four-wheel drive high-performance version. The former is decorated with bright black, while the latter is decorated with metal, so this EV in the exhibition hall is a four-wheel drive high-performance version.

The shape of the rear also continues the simple design style of the front, and the use of penetrating taillights just fits the front face. In addition, BYD’s most signature dragon claw taillights are also reserved, but in contrast, the whole tail is more calm than the front face.

Entering the car, the interior of Han EV still continues BYD’s consistent impression of science and technology. At the same time, as a medium and large car, thanks to the use of large leather and wood grain decoration, the luxury is equally strong, which also gives this Han EV a more mature and stable impression than other models in the family.

Of course, the softer padding and the excellent shoulder support of the front seat make the seat of Han EV conform to the performance of a medium and large car.

After excluding the seats, there is no doubt about the performance of the rear space brought by the positioning of medium and large cars. In addition, an LCD control panel is provided for the rear passengers behind the central armrest, and the whole system supports the configuration of independent air conditioning in the rear, which can be said to be a combination of technology and practicality. It should be noted that Han EV also comes standard with co-pilot boss key.

As for the trunk space, the trunk space is basically the same as that of an ordinary fuel vehicle because the power batteries of the vehicle are placed below.

On the power level, the total motor power of Han EV is 163kW and 363kW respectively, the total motor torque is 330N·m and 680N·m, the battery energy is 76.9kWh, and the cruising range is 605km and 550km respectively. Among them, the acceleration time of the latter is only 3.9s seconds. As for Han DM, it is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 141kW and a peak torque of 320 N m. The total power of the matched motor is 180kW and the total torque is 330 N m. The official acceleration time of zero hundred kilometers is only 4.7s s.

As for the preferential policy of this car, according to the sales introduction, there is no preferential policy for the whole series of Han, but there is a five-year interest-free loan policy, and the store has an existing car. In addition, because Shanghai has just launched a new policy on new energy vehicles, the most influential ones are plug-in hybrid and extended-range models. Therefore, after the release of the policy, Han DM has seen a lot of people.

Of the five models, which one is more worth buying?

BYD Han has five models to choose from, including two for DM and three for EV, so we recommend them separately.

First of all, there are two DM versions, and we recommend the entry-level model with a guide price of 219,800 yuan, which is the luxury model with four-wheel drive performance. In terms of configuration, compared with the four-wheel drive performance version with a guide price of 239,800 yuan, the latter only has more configurations and functions such as leather seats, 4-way height adjustment of the main driver’s seat, 2-way height /4-way waist support of the auxiliary driver’s seat, heating/ventilation of the auxiliary driver’s seat, 11-horn speakers, multi-color interior atmosphere lights, memory/reversing automatic rollover of the external rearview mirror, automatic anti-glare of the internal rearview mirror and independent air conditioning in the rear row. Although the above configuration is worth the price difference, because the configuration of DM itself is high enough, the above additional configuration can not better improve the experience. In the mechanical part, both DM versions are the same. So there is no doubt that DM’s four-wheel drive performance version is a better choice.

Followed by three EV versions, if you like high performance, then directly choose the four-wheel drive high-performance version of the flagship with a guide price of 279,500 yuan. If you have higher requirements for battery life, then choose two long battery life versions. As for these two models, we recommend the entry-level version of EV, that is, the ultra-long endurance luxury model with a guide price of 229,800 yuan. Compared with the super-long endurance version with the guide price of 255,800 yuan, the latter has more parallel assistance, reversing car side early warning system, automatic parking, leather seat, 4-way height adjustment of the main driver’s seat, 2-way height /4-way waist support of the auxiliary driver’s seat, heating/ventilation of the auxiliary driver’s seat, electric seat memory of the driver’s seat, 220V/230V power supply and 11 speakers. Their configuration differences are similar to those of the two DM versions, so the entry version is still the most worth buying.

Write it at the end

To say how hot BYD is, I think the scene where the exhibition hall is full of consumers in the afternoon can prove everything, and the Han series is the representative of it. Super-high face value, spacious space, and full of scientific and technological interior and configuration. Of course, more importantly, it also has DM and EV for consumers with different needs to choose from. It is no wonder that it can be seen everywhere in Shanghai at present.
