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.

Strengthening the cultural consciousness of film adaptation of online novels

　　TV series The Longest Day In Chang’an stills information pictures

　　[Ask and cut the net text]

　　● The cultural consciousness of online novels with the theme of ancient costumes in the process of film and television adaptation has broadened the space for their development. At the same time, the arrival of the "internet plus" era has also brought a new opportunity and challenge to the development of online literature.

　　● From online novels to film and television dramas, it belongs to "re-creation" and "re-creation". The value guidance and cultural atmosphere should not be a process of weakening, but should be a process of continuous improvement and strengthening, so that the value guidance is more in line with social value norms and the cultural atmosphere is fuller and more authentic.

　　From its germination, prosperity to popularity, online novels with the theme of ancient costumes have always been inextricably linked with Chinese traditional culture. The mature development of online literature can not be separated from the influence and nourishment of traditional culture, from the ancient costume theme in the early days, to the hot travel novels later, and to the increasingly popular online novels with biographical costume themes recently. In recent years, some popular TV series adapted from online novels, such as Hougong Zhenhuan Biography, Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace, legend of miyue, nirvana in fire, Do you know if it should be green and fat, The Longest Day In Chang’an and Joy of Life, show the grand Chinese history, classic poems and songs, and traditional folk customs one by one, coupled with different types and styles of plays, personalized character design and subtle cultural connotation, showing Chinese tradition. The cultural consciousness in the process of film adaptation of online novels with the theme of ancient costume broadens the space for their development, and the arrival of the "internet plus" era also brings a new opportunity and challenge to the development of online literature.

　　Let "overhead" land.

　　In the early stage of creation, online novels with the theme of ancient costume tend to adopt the writing style of "overhead" history, or construct the whole work in the mode of crossing time and space. This creative way far away from history has found a more reasonable solution in the process of film and television adaptation of online novels.

　　Wu Xuelan’s Biography of Zhen Huan, an online writer, is the main representative of returning to historical film and television works from online novels with overhead history. In the original work, the author fictionalized a dynasty, telling the story of a bloody incident in the former imperial harem from the first year of Ganyuan to the thirty years of Ganyuan. In the film adaptation, he chose to land in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, relying on the history of the Qing Dynasty, to show that familiar and unfamiliar court story.

　　Joy of Life, an online novel, was originally a novel about crossing the theme. It tells the story of a dying patient in modern times, Fan Shen, who happened to cross the fictional country of Qingguo by chance and started a confusing adventure for the rest of his life, hence the name "Yunian Qing". In the process of film and television adaptation, the creator adopted the narrative mode of "play in play" to transform Fan Xian’s legendary experience of celebrating the country into the content of a novel written by Jasmine Zhang, a university student. This plot design not only conforms to the narrative logic of "crossing" the plot in the original work, but also complements the research idea of the protagonist Jasmine Zhang "analyzing the history of ancient literature with modern concepts", and better sews up the gap between the fiction of online literature and the official history, which makes a powerful exploration for the realistic return of novels with costume themes.

　　In addition, the accurate positioning of historical events is also a new attempt in the film adaptation of online novels in recent years. The TV series "legend of miyue" directed by Zheng Xiaolong tells the ups and downs of the life story of Mi Yue, the first empress dowager in China history and a female politician of Qin State in the Warring States Period. Among them, allusions such as "Returning to Zhao in perfect condition", "encircling Wei to save Zhao" and "uniting Lian Heng" are accurately reproduced, and figures such as Zhang Yi, Qu Yuan and Huang Xie also appear in the Warring States Period, realizing a high degree of integration of biographies and historical facts. It can be seen that the landing of "overhead" history, the reversal through time and space, and the innovative interpretation of celebrity allusions have become an important path for the film adaptation of online novels, gradually guiding the audience to pay attention to, respect and reflect on history, and to understand and observe reality with a more rational and comprehensive eye.

　　Let classical poetry "appear" vividly

　　Five thousand years of Chinese traditional culture is extensive and profound, which has become the spiritual soil for the creation of online novels with the theme of ancient costumes. At the same time, online novels actively absorb and transmit the artistic essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture. The emerging network literature forms and excellent traditional culture join hands to explore new ways forward.

　　In recent years, the film and television dramas adapted from online novels with the theme of ancient costumes have tried to integrate classical poetry and lyrics into film and television works, making a new attempt for the revival and dissemination of traditional poetry. At present, there are several types of reproduction methods of classic poems in popular dramas with costume themes adapted from online novels.

　　First, the name of the play is vividly used in poetry and allusions. For example, the title of the TV series "Do you know if it should be green, fat, red and thin?" is taken from the words in the Song Dynasty poetess Li Qingzhao’s "Like a dream, it rained last night and the wind blew suddenly." When the novel was published, seven poems were also used as the titles of each volume, namely, "Begonia blooms in my hometown today, and only famous flowers are bitter and lonely", "I faded my makeup from plum powder and painted a new red begonia", "Begonia doesn’t hesitate to be rouge, and I don’t wait for the golden house to recommend Huatang", "I don’t know that flowers are more gorgeous until I am pale, and I am eager to love Begonia", "How can I make peaches and plums speak, and sleep with a new begonia?" The title of each volume revolves around "Haitang", which coincides with "green, fat, red and thin". At the same time, the style of writing is the same, and the cultural heritage of the whole work is added.

　　Second, classic poems appear frequently in film and television works in the form of lines. For example, in "Biography of the Harem Zhen Huan", Zhen Xuan explained the origin of his maiden name to Yongzheng when he participated in the draft, and quoted the words "a beautiful waist" in Cai Shen’s "A Prune of Plums" in the Northern Song Dynasty, which coincided with Zhen Xuan’s charming appearance and cool temperament. At the same time, he also used Cai Shen’s words and quality to express his personal feelings to Zhen Xuan’s father Zhen Yuandao in the play. In addition, the characters in the play are lined with corresponding poems, which are closely related to the characters’ personalities and fates. For example, Shen Meizhuang chanted "I would rather hold the incense on the branches and die, than ever blow it down in the north wind" (Zheng Sixiao’s "Cold Chrysanthemum"), and An Lingrong sang "Don’t cherish the golden gowns, and advise you to cherish your youth. When flowers bloom, they must be folded straight, so don’t wait until there are no flowers and empty branches "(Yuefu poem" Goldilocks "), and the king of Guojun lamented on the night of Tanabata that" when the golden wind and the jade dew meet, they will overcome countless people "(Qin Guan’s" Queqiao Fairy ").

　　The third is to take the allusions in the famous works as the core plot of the film and television drama. For example, the hit drama Joy of Life quoted the poem "Stay in Qing Yu" in A Dream of Red Mansions: "Stay in Qing Yu, stay in Qing Yu, and suddenly meet a benefactor; Lucky mother, lucky mother, accumulated yin gong. Don’t be like my cruel uncle and traitor who loves money and forgets flesh and blood! It is multiplication, division, addition and subtraction, and there is a sky on it! " Taking this as the plot of the drama, and then persuading people to uphold the idea of helping the poor and helping the poor, which is highly consistent with the theme of the drama. The diversified and flexible use of classic poetry in the film and television works adapted from online novels not only expands the communication path of traditional poetry, but also creates an immersive space field for the audience to understand the profound meaning of poetry, which is a novel and extensive way of communication.

　　Let the "textual research fever" continue to heat up

　　The popularity of film and television dramas on mass cultural consumption is relatively high, and excellent ancient costume works can become a powerful carrier of traditional cultural communication to some extent. The audience’s "textual research" on customs, costumes and etiquette in film and television dramas has given new narrative dimensions to the works with the theme of ancient costume to a certain extent, and also put forward higher and stricter requirements for the writing of online novels with the theme of ancient costume.

　　Many details in the drama The Longest Day In Chang’an have caused a heated discussion among netizens. The drama focuses on depicting the prosperous scene of the Tang Dynasty, from the costumes and hair accessories, to the furnishings of daily life, and then to the scene setting of the times, all of which are exquisite and exquisite. In the play, Li Bi, played by Jackson Yee, has attracted everyone’s attention because of his lotus-crowned hair style with hair pins inserted from back to front. The audience carried out in-depth textual research and exploration around the production time and identity symbol of "Meridian Hairpin" and "Maoyou Hairpin". To some extent, this also increases the appreciation dimension of TV series.

　　In addition, the "bad teacher" played by Lei Jiayin in the play wears the "round neck robe" and "six-in-one boots", and carries the accessories such as "tie rope", "arm shovel" and "smoke pill" with him, which truly reproduces the mixed style and characteristics of Hu and Han in the Tang Dynasty. In the play, women’s clothing accessories such as "flowers", "bun", "skirt" and "half-chest skirt" mostly echo the characters in famous paintings and poems. "One scoop of food and one drink" has become an important method to spread traditional culture.

　　Do you know whether it should be green, fat, red and thin? nirvana in fire and other film and television dramas also reproduce Chinese traditional manners and customs exquisitely. When women meet each other every day, they ask each other "make-up safety" and perform "Wan Fu Li"; Men bow down and bow their hands; When the younger generation says hello to their elders, they will "cross their hands". These courtesies are numerous and varied, and they are also used in exquisite occasions. There are concrete explanations and graphic descriptions in works such as Shuo Wen Jie Zi, Tokyo Meng Hua Lu and Han Xizai’s Night Banquet.

　　There are also studies and unique displays of traditional ingredients and pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine in film and television dramas. For example, in Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace, the delicacies such as chicken soup with purple ginseng and snow, lotus root with bi Nuo, milk cake and dark fragrant soup are often mentioned, which are unique in color matching. Even when chopsticks are dropped, the instant when the chopsticks touch the "chopsticks pillow" is particularly attractive. These designs convey the charm of Chinese traditional culture to the audience and bring visual enjoyment. At the same time, the "homophonic" and "metaphor" of dish names have also become an important driving force for the development of drama plots.

　　Another example is the interpretation of the efficacy of Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae, Herba Scorzonepetae, Folium Perillae and Herba Hedyotidis Diffusae in "legend of miyue", which better integrates Chinese traditional culture and Chinese medicine, makes film and television dramas more pyrotechnic, and opens the pace for online literature to land in real life.

　　It can be seen that the details of traditional folk customs in film and television dramas can better stimulate the audience’s viewing enthusiasm and psychological expectations. The upsurge of "textual research fever" reflects, to some extent, the desire and pursuit of cultural values by film and television consumption, and therefore film and television dramas have become more diverse and multidimensional, becoming an effective way to convey traditional culture.

　　Let the creative concept always walk on the right path

　　Under the background of media integration, the network provides more possibilities for the spread of literature, and network literature also has a broader spread space. In the process of film and television adaptation, online novels with the theme of ancient costume have more new ways to inherit and popularize Chinese traditional culture.

　　The "little knowledge" pop-up window of "Do you know whether it should be green, fat, red and thin" broadcast on the video website timely and accurately explains the "knowledge points" in the series, and the design of real-time barrage, mini-theater and other links is novel and flexible, opening up a new position for the arrival of traditional culture to "new and new mankind".

　　Weibo’s hot topic search, friends circle forwarding, promotion of post bars and related cultural activities on the client side have, to some extent, become new ways to spread traditional culture in film and television dramas. At the same time, the film and television drama adapted from online novels has gradually opened up the linkage with games and animation, realizing industrial integration, providing reference and experience for the cross-industry communication of film and television drama, and also providing the possibility for the cross-industry communication of "national style and Chinese rhyme".

　　As some scholars have said, the correlation patterns between the literary value and market value of contemporary literary works are more and more diverse. The arrival of "internet plus" and the era of media integration has brought more possibilities for the spread of literature, art and culture, but it has also brought more tests and challenges. Writers of online novels need to uphold a firm cultural stand and cultural self-confidence, and spread and re-create Chinese traditional culture by removing the rough and the essence, discarding the dross and taking the essence. They should not introduce some pseudoscience, feudal ideas and metaphysical superstitions into their creation, which will lead to the loss of their creative ideas. From online novels to film and television dramas, it belongs to "re-creation" and "re-creation". The value guidance and cultural atmosphere should not be a process of weakening, but a process of continuous improvement and strengthening, so that the value guidance is more in line with social value norms and the cultural atmosphere is fuller and more authentic.

　　Under the background of media integration, the film and television works adapted from online novels are more diverse in strategies and ways to spread traditional culture. The interaction of industries such as network, literature, film and television, games and animation will make new explorations for the future development of online literature and network culture. In the face of such a new situation, we need to be full of longing, but also need to be vigilant at all times.

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.

Railway construction helps the poor on the road.

On August 17th, Gao Shou Wang came to the factory early as usual, ready to start a busy day.

He used to be a poverty-stricken household in Cai Jiazhuang Village, Xuanpingbao Township, Wanquan District, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, and now he has a fixed job and income.

"In 2018, I participated in the vocational training funded by the special fund of China Railway 11th Bureau Group in Wanquan Vocational Education Center. Through systematic professional training and assessment, I met the employment requirements of enterprises, successfully entered the factory for employment, and got four or five thousand yuan a month. My life has been improved and guaranteed, and I have got rid of poverty." Gao Shou Wang said.

"There are 18 poor households like him who have achieved employment and poverty alleviation through skills training." According to Luo Dengqiao, deputy secretary of the District Party Committee of China Railway 11th Bureau Group in Wanquan District, "In 2017, China Railway 11th Bureau Group invested 300,000 yuan in vocational and technical training for poor households, and reached an agreement with relevant enterprises to adopt order-based training, achieving employment at home and stable poverty alleviation."

Since 2002, China Railway Construction has undertaken the task of counterpart assistance to Wanquan District of Zhangjiakou City. Zhao Manzhu, vice chairman of Zhangjiakou CPPCC and secretary of Wanquan District Party Committee, said that in the past 19 years, China Railway Construction has not only provided real money, but also dispatched capable cadres, and has successively sent nine cadres to Wanquan District for post. Successive post leaders and resident secretaries have always regarded Wanquan as their second hometown, rooted at the grassroots level, devoted themselves to it, and combined enterprise resources with local conditions in Wanquan District to make advantages docking, which has given strong help to Wanquan’s poverty alleviation cause.

Luodengqiao, a temporary cadre, visited the villagers’ homes.

In 2016, China Railway 11th Bureau Group was appointed by China Railway Construction to undertake the assistance task in this area. After taking office, Luodengqiao, together with relevant departments, planned and implemented a series of poverty alleviation activities under the brand of "Railway Construction Sunshine", and helped the poor people to get rid of poverty and become rich through measures such as consumption poverty alleviation, labor export poverty alleviation, education poverty alleviation and industrial assistance. In May 2019, with the approval of the Hebei provincial government, Wanquan District officially withdrew from the poverty-stricken county sequence, and 220 million people completely took off the poverty hat.

Yang Jiaran is a left-behind child who has good academic performance but doesn’t like to communicate with his friends very much. During the holidays, watching TV and doing homework used to be her whole life. But since 2019, her holiday life has become colorful.

This is because China Railway 11th Bureau Group and Wanquan Youth League Committee set up the "Tiejian Sunshine" Love Aid Fund, which has invested 200,000 yuan successively. With the theme of "Youth Dream Building Action", it will care for left-behind children in rural areas and poor teenagers in rural areas as an important starting point and focus of the Communist Youth League to help the poor, and carry out caring activities such as donating money to help students, helping the poor, giving lessons and caring for them.

Since then, calligraphy, painting, origami, music and dance have become the daily lessons of Yang Jiaran and other children during their holidays.

No matter in study, behavior habit or communication ability, Yang Jiaran has changed greatly. Up to now, they have organized more than 200 returning college students and volunteers from all walks of life to participate in activities in poor mountainous areas in the north, serving more than 650 rural left-behind children and rural poor teenagers, and benefiting more than 200 children from poor families.

China Railway 11th Bureau Group donated to build a farmer’s bookstore in Sunjia Xiaozhuang Village, Wanquan District.

On June 1st this year, the new teaching building of the fourth primary school designed by China Railway 11th Bureau Group with an investment of 800,000 yuan for Wanquan District officially opened its doors to welcome the new students. During the construction of the new school, China Railway 11th Bureau Group also invested 600,000 yuan to build a 168-square-meter science and technology experience room, which became the main popular science promotion center in Wanquan District.

After the completion of the new four primary schools, Luodeng Bridge set its eyes on the old four primary schools, and soon came up with the idea of building a "Railway Construction Sunshine" kindergarten, which was strongly supported by the district party committee and government, China Railway Construction and China Railway 11th Bureau Group. On June 22, 2020, the "Tiejian Sunshine" kindergarten, with a donation of 4.18 million yuan from China Railway Construction and China Railway 11th Bureau Group, started construction smoothly, which will effectively solve the problem of children of migrant workers and ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation population entering the park.

At the same time, China Railway Construction has also made great efforts to donate money to help Wanquan District set up a love aid fund. China Railway 11th Bureau Group and Yuebei Shenwaterworks jointly donated books, schoolbags, school uniforms and other items to Beixintun Primary School and Xinhekou Primary School, further improving the learning conditions of children in northern mountainous areas.

"Every time I receive the’ Tiejian Sunshine’ filial piety pension fund, it is the happiest moment for the old people in the village. Just after the broadcast notice in the village ended, the old people came to the village Committee to collect money. " Sun Jun, secretary of Hongqiangou Village, Beishacheng Township, said: "At first, the villagers were skeptical, fearing that the filial piety payment would be cheated. After repeated propaganda work by village cadres, the cadres took the lead in paying filial piety payment for their parents. Later, everyone realized that this was a good thing for the children to be filial to their parents led by the government."

In order to provide the local elderly with a sense of security, China Railway 11th Bureau Group has successively invested 700,000 yuan to initiate the establishment of the "Tiejian Sunshine" filial piety pension public welfare fund. Through fund-raising activities, signing support agreements, and regularly collecting filial piety payments, towns and villages apply for 10% subsidies according to the monthly filial piety payments, and then summarize the subsidies and filial piety payments and distribute them in cash.

"Tiejian Sunshine" filial piety and old-age care has been fully promoted in 171 villages in the whole region since it was launched in January 2019. This year, 7043 rural elderly people over the age of 65 in the whole region have received 15.345 million yuan of filial piety pension fund. This work carried forward the traditional virtues of filial piety and respect for the elderly, and achieved good social repercussions.

Since 2016, China Railway Construction and China Railway 11th Bureau Group have increased their capital investment year by year, and allocated a total of 11.23 million yuan, providing strong financial support in industrial poverty alleviation, infrastructure construction, improving the appearance of villages and carrying out vocational skills training.

Luodeng Bridge and technicians are discussing the production technology of mineral water.

In order to help local enterprises get out of the development dilemma, China Railway Construction has purchased more than 26 million yuan of "Wanqiquan" mineral water, fresh corn, crushers and other products, and also introduced investors for Yuebei Shenshui Co., Ltd. and signed an investment contract of 30.6 million yuan. In addition, they also take Wantie Trading Co., Ltd. as the leader, increase industrial poverty alleviation efforts, and drive the poor to achieve employment. Since 2018, the company’s sales have reached more than 6 million yuan, and the per capita income of poor households has increased by more than 3,000 yuan.

Walking into Sanlizhuang Village, the beautiful and neat village appearance has doubled the happiness of the villagers. Li Huayi and Zhang Lijun, the first resident secretaries of China Railway Real Estate, give full play to their own advantages, strive for funds and projects in many ways, and do a good job in helping the residents with their hearts and minds. Since 2018, they have won more than 17 million yuan for Sanlizhuang Village and Sunjia Xiaozhuang Village, and implemented infrastructure construction projects such as road hardening, toilet renovation, street lamp installation and village greening, which further improved the village appearance and won high praise from the village.

China Railway 11th Bureau Group purchased the impact crusher and vibrating screen produced by Wanquan Wankuang Machinery Factory for gravel production.

China Railway 11th Bureau Group also gave full play to its resource advantages, actively carried out skills training and labor export, helped Wanquan District to export three labor teams successively, and absorbed more than 200 laborers, with an annual per capita income of 15,000 yuan.

"Poverty alleviation does not take off responsibility, and poverty alleviation does not take off help." Luodengqiao said. Although Wanquan District has been lifted out of poverty, the 11th Bureau of China Railway will start from zero again, improve the long-term mechanism, consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation, further spread the "railway construction sunshine" all over Wanquan and promote the high-quality economic and social development of Wanquan.

They were born inspired by the zodiac. Guess what car each animal represents, and you are a cow!

As we all know, the Logo of some car brands use an animal to symbolize the brand story, and they often listen to "cow", "horse" and "snake" as brands, but I wonder if the car names under the brand can make up all the types of the 12 Zodiacs? Maybe you haven’t heard of those car names.

Rat ranks first in the zodiac. However, in the story of the zodiac, its first place is not a glorious thing. It lied to the cat and played with the cow. The Jade Emperor refused at first, but you are joking. You can only declare the mouse as the first place in the zodiac. In real life, the living environment and body image of mice are very poor. How can a car factory name a "mouse crossing the street"? That is the rhythm of throwing eggs and bananas. It would be nice to have a tall name. Yes, there is no solution to this question and answer!

2. [Lamborghini Miura-cattle]

In fact, it’s not very wrong for MAUS to carry "mice" without mass production, and the second cow in the zodiac is really worthy of the name. Yes, you really think of it-Italian supercar Lamborghini, the brand Logo is taken from Taurus of the twelve constellations, the overall gas field emitted by the body lines is like an angry bull, and the name of the model series is also a famous bull that really exists in the history of bullfighting.

3: [Opel Tigra-Tiger]

Opel’s first generation Opel Tigra came out. It was built on the Corsa chassis. That is to say, it redesigned Corsa and turned it into a 2+2 coupe. The shadow of Corsa can be seen inside and outside. What kind of car is Corsa? Anyway, it doesn’t look like a tiger. However, Opel Tigra doesn’t look like a tiger either. The only thing that can be explained is the design of the B-pillar, which creates a direct sense of Tigra catching prey. The compact body with 1.4L or 1.6L engine is quite like a small steel gun, and its 1.4L and 1.6L can output 90 horsepower and 106 horsepower respectively. In addition, it also has a twin brother-Chevrolet Tigra, and these two little tigers are very popular in the hands of modified players abroad (it seems that Tigra is very vivid in appearance).

4. [VW golf (rabbit)-rabbit]

The backbone of Volkswagen Group is the well-known VW Golf. Golf models have an exclusive name-Rabbit, the origin of which is named. It needs to go back to the 1970s, and the Beetle, which once created great wealth and glory for the VW family, is drawing to a close. Volkswagen Group is determined to launch a brand-new car series to replace the Beetle’s status as a national car, and it is also a "cheap car" as a starting point.

5: [Dongfeng CA71-Dragon]

Dragon, as a kind of deity created by the ancient people in China by combining various animals and celestial phenomena, is naturally a spiritual symbol of great power. When it comes to China people’s first car, some people in the mainland say it is "Hongqi CA71" and some people in Taiwan Province say it is "Jinlong CA71", but the most correct name is Dongfeng CA71. In 1958, it was produced by China FAW Factory. It was designed with reference to the modeling of French Simca Vedette, and the details were added with China national characteristics (for example, the dragon Logo on the front of the car and the lantern-shaped taillight design on the rear of the car). As for the "Golden Dragon" in Taiwan Province, it came from the three-dimensional logo of the dragon on the front of the car.

6: [Dodge Viper-Snake]

For those fans who like to enjoy super sports cars silently, Viper, the top performance sports car owned by Dodge, will not be unfamiliar, while Viper is a general term for about 200 kinds of poisonous snakes, and their digestive systems are very powerful. Some of them start to digest while swallowing, and even spit out bones. Don’t say it, I’m so scared!

To some extent, the Dodge Viper is equally frightening. Since 1992, the first generation of Viper has been equipped with an 8.0L V10 engine. If you can correctly interpret these two numbers, I believe that what you see is not the strength of 400hp, but since then, 8.4L V10, or even a thousand horsepower models have appeared, which attracts the wild swing of the tail at any time. Viper, like a frightened viper in a man-machine contest, is really difficult to control. However, Americans are naturally wild and nervous, and with the appearance of American muscles and the fluent lines of super sports cars, there are many fans who fall in love with snake venom.

7: [Hyundai Pony-Horse]

Speaking of horses, it is easy to think of BMW and Ferrari. However, this is not the name of the car. Apart from the well-known Maxima, Thunderbolt and Mustang entering the China market, in fact, everything in the world has a growth process, that is to say, it is not born so big. Before it becomes a big horse, it will always go through the period of pony. In the automobile world, the models named Pony are Hyundai Pony and Mustang Pony. The originator of the word "Pony" was Ford Mustang (named in 1965), while Hyundai Pony appeared in 1975, both of which are products of the same era, and there is no generation gap problem, but one of them is very tasty.

8: [Yulong Flying antelope 101-sheep]

"Tangle Lun" endorsed "Na Zhijie", and more people quickly learned about a new brand. However, many friends didn’t know that it was the brand of Yulong Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Yulong’s "Flying Eagle 101" was the first self-designed vehicle in the history of China Taiwan Province automobile industry.

Flying antelope, a medium-sized African antelope, was named after Yulong’s high-level officials who went to Africa and saw a vigorous antelope. No, no, no! In other words, do you know the origin of the "ADIDAS" logo of Geely brand in its early years? The Logo was obtained through a large reward.

9: [Ford escort-monkey]

After Ford Escort(1968-2004) stopped production, its replacement model became Focus, and Escort returned to the market, and it is now Forrest. The word Escort means "Escort". In that year, the first generation of escort was introduced and put into production in Taiwan Province, and it was named "Yashi", and by the way, it was nicknamed "Little King Kong" (the monkey is sharp, and it was planned to summon the dragon 40 years ago).

10: [Plymouth superbird-chicken]

In the 1920s, under the leadership of NASCAR events in the south of the United States, Stock Racing culture became popular all over the United States, and the streets and stadiums in the United States were almost full of cars with reinforced models. Under this environment, a model was born-Plymouth (acquired by Chrysler) launched Road Runner Superbird.

Chickens belong to birds. Nissan has a "blue bird" and Plymouth has a "Superbird". Obviously, the most appropriate car in the context is the Super Bird. It has a low flat front, exaggerated aerodynamic kit, slender whole car lines and super-large tail, and its body is lightweight, which is a sports car built to win NASCAR events.

11: [Aston Martin Bulldog-Dog]

Aston Martin has always walked the rivers and lakes in an elegant and noble manner. However, back then, it released a concept car named Bulldog. This was a design project named DP K9.01 (code name) in 1979. Aston Martin was born in Britain, but it is a Zuotuo model. There is no information to show it, so it is impossible to study it carefully. However, since it is a concept car, it doesn’t matter.

Bulldog is equipped with a 5.3L twin-turbo V8 engine, which can output 600hp maximum horsepower and 678 N·m maximum torque. What’s important is that its length is about 4.7 meters, its height is less than 1.1 meters, its sharp lines and gull-wing doors set an astonishing speed of 307 km/h (191 mph) in the same year. Unfortunately, there is only one Aston Martin Bulldog (pictured below) in the world, and the other 24 cars have disappeared from the earth.

12: [Porsche 917/20 Pink Pig-Pig]

Porsche 917 has the reputation of "the most beautiful racing car in the world", but 917/20 is like a beautiful accident. Its car body is greatly widened, and the wheel arch is rounded and thrown outward. The original slender body lines of 917 K/917 L are obviously fattened on 917/20. After seeing this racing car, Martini (the main sponsor of Porsche) thinks that 917/20 is longer. The Porsche Car Factory also laughed at itself, changed its body into pink paint, and then marked the pork cutting pattern on the body (pig body) with dotted lines. Later, people began to call it "Pink Big".

However, there is no doubt that the 917/20 is definitely a product of "dressing up as a pig to eat a tiger", and its straight and curved performance exceeds that of the 917.
K, unfortunately, because of the failure of the braking system, Pink Big appeared in the competition for a short time, but its unique shape and painting were deeply reflected in people’s hearts, and it was also in 24 Hours.

How to prevent love from losing to distance

In clinical psychological counseling, couples or couples often encounter the problem of separation. The more you consult these questions, the more you can find that there is a natural conflict between love and distance. If we don’t handle it carefully, the probability of love losing to distance is still quite large. Therefore, whether it is a couple in love or an old couple who have been married for many years, it is a problem that we need to face up to and pay attention to.

The following analysis and suggestions can also provide reference for the situation that the family cannot be taken care of for some reasons.

Whether it’s a couple in love or an old couple who have been married for many years, being away from home is a problem that we need to face up to and pay attention to; Image from the network)

Why distance

Have such a great influence on love?

Speaking of this question, I have to talk about three essential elements of perfect love: intimacy, passion and commitment. The three elements of love were put forward by Robert Robert Jeffrey Sternberg, a professor of psychology at Yale University. He pointed out that different stages and types of love can be interpreted as different combinations of these three elements. For example, with the development of two people’s romantic relationship, the focus of each component will change. For example, there will be more passion at first, but gradually, commitment will become more important. Robert Jeffrey Sternberg also found that the duration of a relationship based on a single factor is not as long as that based on two or three factors.

Three elements of love: intimacy, passion and commitment; The size of the triangle indicates the degree of admiration, and the larger the triangle, the higher the degree of admiration; Each horn represents a unique type of love; Different combinations form seven different types of love; Image from the network)

Usually, the intimate relationship with the longest persistence and the highest satisfaction is obtained by the efforts of both partners to maintain intimacy and enhance their sense of responsibility.

In a long-distance relationship, intimacy is easily affected. Sometimes what can be solved by a hug leads to misunderstandings and the accumulation of negative emotions because of the obstacles of emotional expression.

Coupled with the cumulative effect of different living environments and different social circles, over time, it is likely that two people will have less and less common language and it will become more and more difficult to understand each other.

What is even more frightening is that it will wear away trust. There are many uncertain factors for two people who live in different places for a long time, such as a message or phone call that can’t be answered in time, a photo taken with other members of the opposite sex, a lie that hides their whereabouts, and so on, which may lead to the collapse of trust.

Therefore, the lack of intimacy is the key reason why many long-distance relationships lose to distance and time.

How to overcome the troubles in different places?

Then how can we overcome the unfavorable factors brought by different places and maintain a harmonious and long-lasting relationship? We suggest that couples or couples who are experiencing the test in different places need to do the following work:

First, learn to communicate deeply and build a building of trust.

The hardest part to deal with in different places is communication. Many people think that communication mainly depends on language, but in actual communication, the influence of language information is very small, accounting for only about 7%, and tone, facial expression and body account for 93%. Therefore, when two people communicate in different places, it is impossible to fully understand each other’s emotional state, even if it is a video, it lacks the participation of touch and smell, and it is impossible to achieve a comprehensive experience. Therefore, it is very important to improve the depth and efficiency of communication.

For communication in different places, we suggest that the big principle is "report every day, learn to share, and don’t have a cold war".

(The principle of communication in different places: report every day, learn to share, and never have a cold war; Image from the network)

Many couples in different places are busy at work, so it may be unrealistic to report from time to time, but it may become a burden to each other. However, it is necessary to give a brief report every day, especially for men. Before going to bed, they should briefly talk about their day’s situation and the next day’s arrangements, voice messages or short calls. With such a habit, mutual trust will be enhanced.

By sharing your own life, you can let each other know about your living environment and dynamics and enhance each other’s sense of security.

But no matter how good two people are, conflicts are inevitable. Quarrel is not terrible, but couples in different places should not use the cold war to deal with conflicts.

Second, strengthen the sense of ceremony, and farewell is better than marriage.

The preservation of two people’s love needs a sense of ceremony, and it is more urgent for both parties in different places to achieve the state of "a little farewell is better than a new marriage" by strengthening the sense of ceremony.

We can strengthen the sense of ritual in getting along from two aspects, one is to make rules, and the other is to create romance.

You can strengthen the sense of ritual in getting along in two ways: making rules and creating romance; Image from the network)

At the beginning of different places, it is necessary to make some rules to ensure the constant love interaction between two people. For example, talk every day, say good night to each other every day, and make regular video calls; Regarding communication, we must speak out if there are contradictions, instead of holding them in our hearts and fighting for the night; Regarding trust, no matter how busy you are, you should explain it in advance and share it briefly, and you must explain the unexpected situation afterwards. These agreements will subconsciously make us cherish our feelings and make the feelings in different places more stable.

In creating romance, many couples, especially girls, need to feel loved, so don’t ignore each other’s needs and set aside time to take care of her emotions and express their feelings. Properly expressing your thoughts and love for each other can make each other feel cared for. You can also often create some surprises for each other, such as writing a few love words to each other and singing a love song to each other. If you travel frequently, when you meet again, you should buy some carefully selected gifts for the other party, such as what the other party mentioned to you, to let the other party know that you are thinking about her at any time, so as to achieve the effect that parting is better than getting married.

Third, create romantic expectations and give full play to the power of commitment.

For a long-distance relationship, commitment is an important driving force for each other to overcome the current difficulties. If there is no expectation for the future, it is difficult for two people to resist the suffering of loneliness and missing. Therefore, when you are in a different place, you must increase the chances of meeting as much as possible, and before each separation, you can start to create the expectation of meeting next time, and try to be specific and look forward to it together. For example, "Let’s meet in a month, and I’ll cook you a big seafood dinner, so that you can taste my loving cooking skills.".

(When you are in a different place, you must increase the chances of meeting as much as possible, and before each separation, you can start to create the expectation of meeting next time, try to be specific and look forward to it together, but don’t break your promise; Image from the network)

Expectation can be divided into short-term goals and long-term goals.

Short-term goals can be aimed at mutual interests, such as traveling together, shopping together, climbing mountains together, watching movies together, etc. You can make a detailed plan, work together and implement it one by one, so that more connections can be built.

Don’t break your promise, if it doesn’t come true, and blame each other, the balance of your emotional savings account will be less and less.

The long-term goal is about the expectations of being together in the future. Couples in love can look forward to the wedding picture together, how romantic the wedding is, how exquisite the home decoration is, and how interesting the future life will be. For example, "When we get married in the future, we must raise a lovely kitten at home and have a particularly lovely child. I will take pictures of you, the kitten and the child, and I will be very happy when I think about it."

For married couples, how to solve the problem of separation between the two places is a very realistic topic. The other party may understand the needs of temporary career development, but if career development is always put above the needs of the other party, the probability of emotional problems is still very high if two people get together for a long time, so it is necessary to take care of how long to solve the problem in different places and how to make up for each other’s feelings, and give a promise to make the other party really feel at ease.

Kunming’s take-away orders rank third in southwest China! What office workers love most is …

Zhang Shang chun cheng XunAt present, with the resumption of work in various places, the consumption of food and beverage takeout that was suppressed during the epidemic period is gradually released. On March 11th, the reporter learned from Meituan Takeaway that the first Consumption Report on Restaurants’ Takeaway during the epidemic period (hereinafter referred to as "Report") was released. Since the resumption of work, the number of take-away merchants, order volume, transaction volume and other indicators have shown a steady rise, and 30% of the merchants’ take-away orders exceeded those before the epidemic. Two weeks before the resumption of work, the number of take-away orders in Kunming ranked 12th among major cities in China and 3rd among major cities in Southwest China, showing a relatively strong consumption power.
The surge in take-away orders has boosted the catering economy.
According to the incomplete statistics of the US Mission, the return to work rate of catering merchants in China has exceeded 55%. According to the Report, since the resumption of work for two weeks (February 17-March 1), the two main data of food and beverage take-away transaction volume and order volume in major cities in China have shown a sharp growth trend. The data show that the consumer demand that was obviously suppressed during the epidemic period was further released on the take-away platform, and the take-away economy took the lead in recovery.
In particular, orders in first-tier cities have grown rapidly, and the Top5 orders in China are Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu respectively. Two weeks before the resumption of work, among the major cities in China, Kunming ranked 12th in order quantity, and among the major cities in southwest China, Kunming ranked third after Chengdu and Chongqing, showing a relatively strong consumption capacity.
According to the "Report", 30% of the merchants in the country have more take-away orders than before the epidemic. At present, due to the prevention and control of business closures, catering businesses in various places have not recovered their vitality, and the take-away business has provoked the catering economy. Merchants have increased their volume and income through the take-away platform to combat the impact of the epidemic.
It is worth mentioning that the Report shows that the take-away orders and revenues of catering businesses in major cities have developed rapidly. Among them, the growth of second-and third-tier cities is particularly obvious. Among the national businesses, the proportion of businesses with a single volume exceeding that before the epidemic is Urumqi, Harbin, Nanchang, Xi ‘an and Dongguan. 38% of the merchants in Kunming have better take-away orders after returning to work than before the epidemic, ranking 11th in the country and 1st in the southwest, ahead of Chongqing and Chengdu.
After 60 s and 70 s, users joined the takeaway consumption army.
According to the Report, the growth rate of new users in major cities across the country has exceeded 50% for two consecutive weeks. Takeaway has become the most important living security and urban infrastructure since returning to work.
According to the survey, although the post-90s generation is still the main group of take-away consumption, among the new users, the post-60s and post-70s consumer groups, who originally preferred to cook at home, have sprung up, buying fresh vegetables for their families, buying beer for themselves, and ordering themselves a piece of braised chicken rice after returning to work. The post-60s and post-70s accounted for 36.7% and 31.5% respectively, which became the main force for the growth of new take-away customers and successfully joined the "take-away sweeping group".
The top three business districts with the fastest growth rate of orders in major cities are shopping malls, office buildings and software parks. The commercial buildings in cities are gradually bustling and are accelerating their recovery. The fastest growing business districts among the Top5 cities in China are: Beijing-Wangjing, Shanghai-Lujiazui, Guangzhou-Zhujiang New Town, Shenzhen-Futian CBD and Chengdu-Financial City.
At the same time, multi-person meals are becoming a popular take-away mode, and the number of multi-person orders with more than three people has increased by more than 150% from the previous week. Urban white-collar workers from all corners of the country have different tastes. In the past, even an office and a take-away work meal could make up the "eight major cuisines". But now, in order to reduce the contact links such as taking the elevator, it has become a new trend for colleagues to book the same restaurant together and take turns to take takeout.
More people buy vegetables with takeout. Hot pot is popular after returning to work.
According to the Report, the proportion of non-food orders increased by over 77% during the epidemic. Everyone has encountered "quasi-isolation", so it is a new day to take protective measures, buy ingredients at home and study cooking. During the Spring Festival, the average sales volume of food products including vegetables, meat and seafood on Meituan’s take-out platform increased by 200% month-on-month. Among them, 3.93 million copies of onion, ginger and garlic were sold, nearly one million copies of coriander were sold, and people bought more than 5 million masks. In Xi ‘an, which loves pasta, dry yeast won the regional sales volume of Top5, while in Shenyang, a city in the north, the take-out sales volume of Top1 was actually hot pot dipping.
More users purchase daily necessities such as fresh fruits and vegetables, daily necessities and medicines through the take-away platform. After returning to work, non-food categories continue to maintain a steady growth rate, and the epidemic has gradually formed new lifestyles and consumption habits.
However, with the resumption of production, cooked food has been greatly welcomed. In Kunming, hot pot, Southeast Asian food, spicy pot, barbecue and western food are the most popular Top5 for office workers. Among them, the order volume of hot pot take-out increased significantly, and the second week of resumption of work increased by more than 50% compared with the first week.
The cities with the highest sales volume of hot pot takeout in China are Chengdu, Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Chongqing, Suzhou, Shenyang and Dongguan.
In addition to hot pot, the most popular dishes in various places have more local characteristics, such as the barbecue of mutton tendon in Beijing, the rice congee for clearing fire in Shanghai, rice rolls in Guangzhou, assorted maocai in Chengdu and Hu spicy soup in Xi ‘an. After returning to work, people prefer hot local dishes.
Under the influence of COVID-19 epidemic, the safety of take-away food has become the biggest focus of public attention. According to the "Report", more than 80% of take-away orders have chosen to use the "no-contact and safe delivery" service, and the demand for intelligent meal-taking facilities has greatly increased.
