High standards achieve high quality, LANTU empowers users to live a better life with excellent quality

September coincides with the 46th National Quality Month. At the beginning of this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Outline for Building a Quality Power", setting a new direction for quality work in the new era. Recently, MIIT released the "Work Plan for Stable Growth in the Automotive Industry", which also focuses on improving the quality level of automotive product supply.

As the "national team" of new energy vehicle manufacturing, Lantu is committed to becoming a user-oriented technology enterprise, adhering to quality responsibility, insisting on providing users with high-quality products, and creating value for users in a down-to-earth manner. From R & D to production, from material warehousing to product delivery, from brand establishment to the completion of the "three-year three-category" strategy, Lantu has solidified the product foundation of "new strength" in vehicle manufacturing with strict quality, writing a new chapter in the transformation of China’s speed to China’s quality, and a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power.

It’s not a good idea.System construction to create excellent quality

Lantu inherits Dongfeng’s more than 50 years of experience in the automotive manufacturing field, and combines the brand characteristics of high-end new energy vehicles to create a user-centered quality evaluation system, always providing users with a product experience that exceeds their expectations.

In terms of Product Research & Development, Lantu benchmarks international first-line brands, meets global regulations, takes into account European, North American, Asian and other working conditions standards, and builds a complete design and development standard system framework. Through ESSA’s native intelligent electric architecture, central centralized SOA electronic and electrical architecture, high-strength cage body and other self-developed cutting-edge technologies, it has laid the foundation for creating high-quality products.

In terms of trial production and manufacturing process, Lantu has established the VES vehicle evaluation standard and refined quality evaluation system: based on the VES evaluation standard, Lantu conducts more than 500 items such as appearance inspection, road test inspection, rain inspection, warehousing inspection, etc. on the off-line vehicles, and strictly checks the factory quality of the vehicle. With the goal of the refined quality evaluation system, Lantu conducts detailed evaluation and improvement on the user’s high-perception of materials, clearance, color difference, odor, vehicle operation, driving experience, etc., so that users can see, hear, hear, and touch, all presenting a well-crafted high-end enjoyment.

In terms of supply chain, Lantu is committed to being "the setter and leader of the quality system and technical standards for new energy vehicle suppliers", establishing and improving the supplier quality system evaluation standard (VQS), summarizing 12 core processes and their management requirements, which can systematically and comprehensively identify the quality weaknesses of suppliers, and focus on the control of processes that affect key and important characteristics, early warning of quality risks, and make targeted improvements. At the same time, LANTU combines the full-featured product special characteristic identification, the whole value chain process special characteristic guarantee network preparation and the supplier quality evaluation system (VQS) to realize the autonomy and control of high-value parts. The domestic air spring system, the lifting triple screen, the dimmable canopy, and the variable damping shock absorber of LANTU Dreamer on the LANTU FREE are all successful examples. In order to improve the delivery level of supplier parts quality, LANTU has established a supplier quality SSC evaluation and management mechanism, implemented targeted supervision and counseling for suppliers whose quality performance is not up to standard, and improved their quality capabilities; carried out "zero defects" and "zero re-issuance" positive incentives for suppliers with good quality performance, and built a new type of cooperative relationship with suppliers.

Lantu Automotive Intelligent Manufacturing Base

It’s not a good idea.Intelligent manufacturing empowers to create 0 bad products

Landmap stands by technology, empowers with intelligent manufacturing, continuously improves the production process, and controls the details. Through the application of cutting-edge manufacturing combined with cutting-edge digital technologies such as IoT, big data, and edge cloud, every detail of the product can be carefully crafted to create exquisite, sturdy, and safe products.

In the manufacturing process, Lantu uses numerical control hydraulic pad technology to match the high-speed synchronous stamping line produced by steel and aluminum mixed production, so that the error control of each process is at the industry first-class level (0.1mm), thus ensuring the production efficiency and quality stability of parts. In the welding factory with 100% automation coverage, Lantu uses laser welding, ARPLAS welding and traditional welding technology to combine, which not only ensures the strength stability and reliability of the car body, but also makes the car body feel more refined. 195 sets of high-precision servo tightening equipment on the Lantu assembly line, through the self-developed TMS digital torque control system, achieve 100% accurate control of the key torque of the whole vehicle, which can be traced back to the torque data of nearly 10 years.

Through the use of 5G and big data technology, Lantu’s latest generation of autonomous mobile backpack robots (AMR), integrated laser navigation and 5G + WIFI dual-mode communication, AI binocular vision + 3D laser fusion navigation and obstacle avoidance technology, can achieve automatic and accurate delivery of the final assembly line. In addition, Lantu has also built a digital twin of production that integrates digital workshops and physical workshops. Through AVI radio frequency identification, MES system, key process visualization and key equipment online monitoring and other technologies, lean production is realized to ensure zero defect rate of products.

It’s not a good idea.Strict testing to create high standards

High-quality products require high-level inspection and control.

From Product Research & Development to production, Lantu Automotive has set up strict quality verification procedures, including 50 nodes and 12,338 "devil training "-like verification projects. Lantu has carried out road durability tests on mass-produced test vehicles with a total mileage of more than 3 million kilometers, passing through Turpan, Kunlun Mountains, Dali, Hainan, Heihe and other places, experiencing dry heat, humid heat, dry cold, warm and other climatic conditions. The whole vehicle and battery system have undergone more than 1,000 kinds of road conditions and various extreme environments such as minus 40 ° C and high temperature 50 ° C to ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle under various extreme conditions, allowing users to have high-quality car enjoyment.

In addition, Landmap has created a factory test road with the longest mileage, the most variety, and the most stringent technical conditions among the new mainstream car manufacturing forces. It has a complete range of road test tracks and simulates various road surfaces such as speed bumps, manhole covers, rough dirt roads, and cobblestone roads that may be encountered in actual driving, ensuring a comfortable driving experience for users.

Detailed sampling inspection is also one of the keys to creating high-quality Lantu products. In terms of in-car air quality that users are concerned about, Lantu implements stricter sampling inspection frequencies than most OEMs in the industry on the basis of the double standards of the national standard and ISO, to ensure that the odor level of the whole vehicle is ≤ 3.0, which is more stringent than the requirements of the national standard; in the off-line stage of the production car, Lantu conducts single-shift line, double-shift line and other working conditions of the sampling vehicle, evaluates the horizontal roll of the production car, and follows the body of the curve to ensure the excellent driving characteristics of the Lantu brand. The most important "three electric" for new energy vehicles, Lantu Automobile adopts the whole process of inspection, including high voltage insulation inspection, potential balance test, charging socket insulation/grounding test, rain test, wading test, etc. The number of inspections is more than other companies, to ensure that every car delivered to the user meets the R & D design standards.

It’s not a good idea.Recruit talents and forge elite soldiers

The advantage of "people" in the development of Lantu’s thick planting industry has not only created skilled soldiers, but also trained a large team of supplier auditors, becoming a force that cannot be ignored in achieving Lantu’s excellent quality.

Lantu’s quality team is full of talents, not only experienced, meticulous and patient technical experts, but also "hand models" that can touch 1mm slightly convex or sunken with just their hands, and "golden noses" that can identify the source of volatile odors in the car with their noses alone. As well as a large number of engineering and technical talents such as "Chegu talents" and senior experts, they guard the "door" of Lantu’s product quality. Lantu Dreamers have become the designated car for official large-scale conferences many times with their excellent product strength.

Landscape quality engineers test vehicles for clearance surface differences

For suppliers, Lantu has also established a supplier quality system auditor qualification certification mechanism, and regularly conducts parts quality training including parts expertise, quality system, quality tools, etc., to continuously improve the auditor’s ability and increase the industry-related professional level.

Strict quality creates the ultimate product. Since the establishment of the brand, whether it is industry evaluation or user reputation, Lantu has become synonymous with safety and reliability. Lantu’s first model, Lantu FREE, won the 2021 China Automotive Wind and Cloud Festival Jury Award with its outstanding performance in 11 test dimensions such as power, handling experience, and safety. It also won the "five-star" evaluation of the C-NCAP test with a comprehensive score of 92.3%, ranking first in the comprehensive score of Chinese brand new energy models. In 2022, Landmap Dreamer successfully challenged the first domestic 90km/h ultra-US standard high-speed rear-end test with 1.88 times the collision energy exceeding the world’s most stringent collision standard; in 2023, Landmap Dreamer was awarded the C-NCAP five-star safety certification, becoming the first MPV model to receive China’s new energy five-star safety certification. As the third model of Lantu, Lantu Chasing Light has achieved the industry’s top performance in all aspects of driving control, intelligence, luxury and safety. In the 10th Qinghai Lake (International) Electric Vehicle Challenge held in 2023, Lantu Chasing Light won 7 awards including the Best Acceleration Performance Award, the Best Handling Performance Award, and the Best Technology Configuration Award under the complex high-altitude road conditions and strict evaluation standards, and won the blockbuster comprehensive award – the Golden Antelope Award, which fully demonstrates the strength of hardcore products.

2005 Domestic Car Consumer Satisfaction Survey Report


　　"Car Shopping Guide" magazine is managed by the China Machinery Industry Federation. It serves prospective car owners, car owners, fans and industry insiders, disseminates car culture, cultivates the car market, and guides car consumption as its own responsibility. The text is 96 pages in full color, using international standards, large 16 folio, published one day a month, each priced at 6.6 yuan.
The magazine’s "Cover Story", "Test Report", "Car Purchase Documentary", "Personality Recommendation", "Car Purchase Instructions", "Car Price List", "Special Topics" and "Reader’s Mailbox" and other columns provide you with real-time information on the automotive market, explore the comprehensive performance of new cars on the market, analyze the competitive advantages of models of the same price and grade, analyze the selling points of automobiles, guide rational consumption, and adhere to the "shopping guide" as the direction to serve the majority of consumers. It is a car buying guide for prospective car owners, a car fan’s car review, and a complete list of business conditions for people in the automotive industry.

　　Compared with 2004, the car market in the first half of 2005 seemed much flatter, with many new and to-be-listed models, but there was no large-scale price reduction of the models that consumers had hoped for. On the contrary, some car manufacturers raised prices by launching "2005 models", which increased the number of consumers waiting for prices to decline, and the year-on-year sales of cars fell a lot. Although the car market is not sluggish, the sales of various models vary greatly. For example, Elantra and Xiali have broken through the 10,000 mark for several consecutive months and won the first place in the same class respectively, while some models have been on the verge of discontinuing production for several months.

　　For consumers, the number of models to choose from has increased. When buying a car, consumers have to ask relatives and friends one by one about the use of each model, as well as their satisfaction with the model. Buying a car has become cumbersome, and our "2005 Domestic Car Consumer Satisfaction Survey Report" will be recommended to you as a good car purchase reference. After the successful holding of the "2004 Domestic Car Consumer Satisfaction Survey", consumers have evaluated it as one of the best topics of the "Car Shopping Guide" year. In order to make the satisfaction survey more complete, we started the 2005 satisfaction survey in early February 2005. After more than three months of questionnaire collection, collation, and supplementary surveys, it was then handed over to a professional survey company to analyze the questionnaire and statistical results. Now, it has made a grand debut with the efforts of all parties.
 　　Consumer Satisfaction Index (CSI)
　　Customer satisfaction is a level of consumer perception, and a deeper meaning refers to the degree to which the performance of the product (service) provided by the enterprise matches the current expectations of consumers.

　　The Customer Satisfaction Index is a measure of consumer satisfaction, expressed as a percentage. For this survey, the Consumer Satisfaction Index is used to indicate the overall satisfaction of a car brand in terms of quality, performance, appearance, interior, after-sales services, and car maintenance costs.
 　　Improvements to the 2005 Consumer Satisfaction Survey
　　1. In 2004, our questionnaires came from a variety of methods such as clipped questionnaires, face-to-face interviews, and online surveys. In 2005, more than 95% of our questionnaires came from clipped questionnaires, which was more direct and effective, increasing the efficiency of our questionnaires from 64% in 2004 to more than 92%.

　　The number of models involved in the survey increased from 65 in 2004 to more than 100 in 2005, of which the number of models participating in the analysis increased from 34 to 45, an increase of 32%. With the continuous influx of new models and the expansion of the scope of the survey, the number of models that consumers can refer to has also increased significantly.

　　3. The items of the questionnaire include 5 major items such as external quality, internal quality, performance, after-sales services and maintenance costs. The small items they contain add two items of audio and mechanical component reliability, bringing the sub-items to 18. Correspondingly, we have also fine-tuned the weight of each sub-item.

　　4. Due to price cuts and market changes, the 2005 survey reclassified the price range.

　　5. More manufacturers are participating and paying attention. Due to the greater influence of consumer satisfaction surveys, some manufacturers have taken the initiative to contact us and attach great importance to the survey results.
 　　The results of this investigation
　　New models such as Elantra, Fit, Audi A4, Corolla, and Peugeot 307 score relatively high, with their novel appearance, leading technology, and good performance. After-sales services can also keep up. Consumers have shown strong interest and high satisfaction with these new models, and their sales are also very optimistic.

　　Overall, the score of German models has generally increased, which is related to the good manufacturing technology and after-sales services of German models; Shanghai GM’s models have shown a downward trend. In 2005, Shanghai GM improved its product range and launched Rongyu, Cadillac and New Sail models to attract consumers and increase satisfaction; the ranking of Korean models has risen rapidly; the ranking of Japanese models has risen and fallen, but the fuel-efficient characteristics of Japanese models make consumers generally satisfied.

　　Due to the increase in the number of models, the gap between the top and bottom-ranked models has widened. Manufacturers need to strengthen the improvement of the bottom-ranked models, otherwise these models will fall behind or even be replaced in the increasingly fierce product competition in the future.

　　Among the top 10 models, Japanese models account for 4, German models account for 5, and Korean models account for 1. Japanese models have not changed from 2004, while the number of German and Korean models has increased. Regrettably, there are still no national brands in the top 10. Our national brands should be comprehensively improved in terms of product quality, performance, and after-sales services in order to truly become a strong brand.

　　This survey covers a wide range, involving 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country. In the same way as the previous survey, we will divide the content of the survey into 5 major aspects such as external quality, internal quality, performance, after-sales services and maintenance costs. These 5 major aspects include 18 sub-categories. In the chart below, we will list the scores of each model in 18 sub-categories (converted to √ and ×). At the same time, since there are many models involved in this survey, we focus on the top two or three models in each class.

　　180,000~ 300,000 Satisfaction Evaluation of High-end Car
　　The winning model won the crown – Mazda 6 ranked first overall
　　For the winning models in this consumer satisfaction survey, consumers, manufacturers, and all members of the editorial department are eagerly awaiting, who is the most satisfied model in the minds of consumers in 2005? After rigorous data analytics and sorting, the final Mazda6 won the crown with a high score of 80.73%, once again becoming the most satisfied model in the minds of consumers. This is also the second consecutive year that Mazda6 has won the crown, reflecting the high recognition of this model by consumers.

　　A year has passed since the Mazda6 won the crown in the satisfaction survey in 2004. The Mazda6 has withstood the test of consumers, ranking first in terms of overall shape, luggage compartment space, power, handling, braking, safety and reliability, and also ranked very high (in the top 5) in terms of air conditioning performance, acoustics, sealing, interior quality, and mechanical component reliability, which makes the Mazda6 indisputably achieve the first overall score again. As a personalized model among mid-to-high-end sedans, the Mazda6 not only provides sufficient safety, but also greatly meets the requirements of consumers who pursue speed and handling. The success of the Mazda6 also lies in its outstanding performance not only in individual items, but also in its comprehensive performance including after-sales services, mechanical parts performance, etc. Consumers are satisfied. As a model produced simultaneously in the world, the Mazda6 has a high technical content, and the comprehensive factors make the Mazda6 "the most satisfactory model in the minds of consumers in 2005".

　　In addition, in the further requirements put forward by consumers, consumers want to be able to increase DVD, reversing radar and car phones and other devices; lower the price of parts; strengthen the chassis sound insulation; increase the trend of independent air conditioning in the rear seats; increase the seat electric heating device for models sold to the north.

　　Accord ranked second overall

　　Although the mid- to high-end car market has shrunk significantly, the Accord has become an extreme, which is inseparable from the Accord’s high satisfaction. In the 2005 satisfaction survey, the Accord’s score rose to more than 80%, becoming one of the two major models with a score of more than 80% in this satisfaction survey.

　　Accord scored highly in sub-items such as overall styling, interior space, interior quality and safety and reliability, while it ranked in the top two in sub-items such as air-conditioning performance, comfort, handling, reliability of mechanical components and after-sales services. These results make Accord achieve a good second overall score. Consumers said that Accord has fine workmanship, good quality of interior and paint finish; low fuel consumption in similar models; stable quality of mechanical components; handling, power and air-conditioning performance are all talked about by car owners; at the same time, Guangzhou Honda’s after-sales services have a good attitude and high overall level.

　　Owners also put forward suggestions for improvement in the details of the Accord, such as the rearview mirror is prone to water accumulation; the luggage compartment space is not very reasonable; the sound effect is average; the high-speed wind noise is relatively large, and the sound insulation device should be added; the configuration (such as GPS satellite positioning system and reversing radar) should be added.


　　Passat ranked third overall

　　As a "veteran" model in mid-to-high-end cars, Passat has a lot of sales, and it has shown a significant growth trend in the past (it did not decline until 2004). Passat has a good reputation and brand influence in mid-to-high-end cars. Since March 2005, the cost-effective 2005 Passat has been listed, and the market price is similar to the old Passat, which is nearly 20,000 yuan cheaper than the manufacturer’s guide price. While Passat has changed models, it has also maintained a relatively stable price (so far in the past 10 months, the market price has been relatively stable), which is conducive to improving consumer confidence in this model. The survey of Passat scored a high score, and the overall ranking has also risen from the original 8th place to the current 3rd place.

　　The Passat ranks highly in sub-categories such as overall styling, sealing, interior space, paint quality, comfort, luggage compartment space, noise and after-sales services. Consumers rate the Passat as a model with beautiful styling, mature technology, outstanding braking and handling performance. The Passat has a large interior space and has the highest safety performance in the same class. At the same time, the after-sales services network is developed and maintenance is convenient.

　　Consumers have also proposed some improvements to the Passat, including: low configuration, sunroof, DVD, EBD and TCS, reversing radar should be standard; at the same time add electronic navigation system, electric adjustable seats and electric heating system; improve fuel economy; reduce the price of spare parts and maintenance costs. In addition, the seat is not comfortable enough for long-distance travel, and the sound level is low. These aspects should also be improved.

×: Below average × ×: relatively poor AttentionAfter obtaining the scores of each model on each sub-item, we performed scientific and statistical calculations to convert these scores into √ and ×, which evaluate consumer satisfaction with each sub-item in terms of the degree to which each model deviates from the average. 3 √ A models do not mean how much better performance or more space or less maintenance costs than 2 √ B models, but represent that the owner’s satisfaction with A is one √ higher than that of B. Don’t look at these models from the perspective of the same person. Different car owners have different expectations and requirements, so their satisfaction will be very different.
　　Satisfaction Evaluation of 80,000~ 180,000 Middle Class Car
　　Golf ranked fourth overall

　　Compared with the satisfaction survey in 2004, the overall ranking of the Golf has risen a lot, and in the middle-class car class (80,000~ 180,000 yuan), the Golf won the first place. As a classic model of Volkswagen, the Golf has created a sales myth in the history of automobiles and is loved by the world. However, after the Golf was made in China, the sales volume at the beginning of its listing (listed in July 2003) was not ideal, which was mainly related to the price, shape and increasingly competitive market. After a series of adjustments by FAW-Volkswagen to the Golf, the sales of the Golf began to rise gradually. At the same time, the practical performance of the Golf was also recognized by consumers, and the used owners said that these were the basis for the improvement of the satisfaction of the Golf. It is believed that higher satisfaction will further promote the increase in golf sales, and golf can continue to write its sales myth in China.

　　The Golf scores highly in sub-categories such as paint quality, power, braking, noise and reliability of mechanical components. At the same time, the Golf does not have the weakness of low scores. Volkswagen’s rigorous manufacturing process satisfies consumers. Consumers rate the Golf’s air conditioning effect as good; the interior is of good quality and meticulous workmanship; good handling performance makes consumers feel comfortable driving; at the same time, the Golf’s safety performance is also first-class.

　　Owners’ suggestions for improvements to the Golf include: ESP devices should be added; the sound effect is average; maintenance costs and the price of some spare parts are high; and the sound insulation of the engine compartment is not good.

　　Elantra ranked fifth overall

　　Following Elantra’s excellent sales performance in 2004, Elantra made persistent efforts in 2005 to occupy the top of the mid-range car sales list for several consecutive months, with sales reaching a record-breaking 20,000 or more in individual months, which is inseparable from Elantra’s high satisfaction. In the 2005 satisfaction survey, Elantra ranked among the top mid-range cars and ranked 5th overall, achieving impressive results.

　　Elantra scored highly in terms of comfort, handling, noise, and after-sales services, and also ranked in the top 10 in terms of interior space, interior quality, sound, and braking, which made Elantra’s overall score high, and Elantra’s comprehensive performance was highly recognized by consumers. Consumers rated Elantra as a "best cost-effective" mid-range car with excellent power, handling, braking, comfort, and safety performance, and after-sales services.

　　At the same time, consumers have also put forward improvement requirements for Elantra, including slightly higher internal noise in the car; greater roll in turns; outdated interior style; soft vibration damping system; high cost of accessories and maintenance; uneven cooling in the car; and a slightly lower chassis.

　　Bora ranked sixth overall

　　After achieving a high score in the satisfaction survey in 2004, Bora achieved a high score in this survey and achieved a good result of sixth place in the total score, which is one of the two major models of FAW-Volkswagen in the top 10. FAW-Volkswagen’s excellent quality and perfect after-sales services have laid the foundation for its high satisfaction score, and its good performance has made it a unanimous praise from consumers.

　　Bora scores highly in many sub-categories such as sealing, paint quality, power, handling, braking, safety and reliability, and noise. Owners rate Bora’s power performance as good; the driver’s control is flexible; the interior workmanship is fine; the braking effect is good; the mechanical components are reliable and not prone to failure; at the same time, Bora’s good safety performance also makes car owners feel very at ease when driving. In addition, Bora’s paint quality is good, and it still feels like a new car after long-term use; FAW-Volkswagen has many 4S shops, which are very convenient for maintenance.

　　Consumers have also put forward higher requirements for Bora: less space in the rear row; higher prices for spare parts; insufficient brightness of the headlights, poor visibility when driving at night; and the quality of the wipers needs to be improved.

　　Fit ranked seventh overall

　　Since the Fit went on sale in October 2003, consumers have been booking enthusiastically. In 2004, the sales of the Fit were still hot, and it has been ranked at the top of the sales list of mid-range cars. The hatchback Fit has set off a climax for people to buy this car. There are many models of the Fit, 1.3
A variety of models, including the L and 1.5L, manual and automatic, hatchback and sedan, can meet the needs of different consumers. In this survey, the Fit scored highly in the sub-categories of interior space, interior quality, luggage compartment space, handling and noise. In addition, the Fit scored highly in fuel economy, ranking second among all models. Consumers are very satisfied with the interior space of the Fit as well as the luggage compartment space, and marvel at the low fuel consumption of the Fit.

　　Consumer suggestions for improvement include: the power performance needs to be further improved; the comfort of the seat is not good; the sealing should be improved; the brakes are soft; the high-speed stability is poor; the A-pillar is wider, which affects the line of sight; the price of accessories and labor costs are higher; the waiting time for maintenance is long.

　　Satisfaction Evaluation of 50,000~ 80,000 Economy Car
　　Wizz ranked ninth overall

　　Weizi prototype car Yaris in Europe sales are very good, listed in Europe for half a year on the sales break 100,000, but Weizi in the domestic sales have not gone up, although Tianjin FAW Toyota has carried out many price cuts, but its sales are still unsatisfactory.

　　The reason for the poor sales of Vizi is that consumers do not correctly recognize this model, and the appearance of Vizi and people’s consumer tastes are also inconsistent. At present, the lowest price of Vizi is only 70,000, which is more cost-effective in the same grade of models, and the technology of the 8A engine is also very mature. Importantly, consumers who use this car are generally satisfied with Vizi, and compared with the 2004 consumer satisfaction survey, Vizi’s overall ranking has risen to a certain extent, and it has entered the ranks of the top 10. Vizi also achieved first place in the reliability of mechanical components. In addition, it ranks high in many sub-categories such as fuel economy, maintenance cost, safety and reliability, braking, power and handling. At the same time, Vizi has no obvious weaknesses.

　　The improvement areas proposed by consumers for Vizi include: the sunroof is best changed to electric adjustment; the seat comfort is not enough; it is best to install front fog lamps; there is room for improvement in the body assembly process; the overall sound insulation effect is not good; the service attitude and technical level of the 4S shop need to be improved; the paint quality is average; the door is blocked when closed; the rear seats are not spacious enough.

　　Gower ranked 25th overall

　　This is the first time that Gower has entered the scope of the consumer satisfaction survey. Among all models, Gower’s score is in the middle level, but among models in the same class, Gower’s score is at the top. This time, Gower ranks second among economy cars. As can be seen from the questionnaire sent back by readers, Gower’s satisfaction in the eyes of consumers is average. Gower has no obvious sub-categories at the top, and the usual sub-categories are in the middle level. Among them, the sub-categories such as air-conditioning performance, after-sales services, noise and reliability of mechanical components rank slightly higher. Consumers are satisfied with Gower’s relatively stable mechanical components, acceptable handling, sealing, and power performance, generous design, and harmonious paint quality and color matching.

　　The improvement suggestions put forward by consumers include: the engine is not advanced enough, relatively backward, and the fuel consumption is high; the transmission and clutch also need to be improved; the workmanship of individual interior parts is rough; the safety is average (no ABS); and the assembly quality should be further improved.

　　Antelope ranked 31st overall

　　The Antelope sold well in 2004, breaking through the 50,000-car mark in one fell swoop. The Antelope’s score ranks high among the same class of models in this survey, and many sub-categories have achieved good results. Among them, fuel economy also won the first place in all models, maintenance costs also ranked high, and the sub-categories such as luggage compartment space, power and mechanical component reliability also ranked high. Consumers praised the Antelope for its low maintenance costs; easy maintenance; good braking performance; flexible handling; luggage compartment space is also large enough.

　　The improvements proposed by consumers for the antelope include: poor sealing, the overall shape is "old"; the assembly quality needs to be improved; the engine noise is high, and the sealing should be improved; the door clearance is too large; the audio, especially the subwoofer, has low power; and the quality of the interior components needs to be improved.

　　SPARK ranked 17th overall

　　SPARK has received unanimous praise from consumers in this survey. Although the overall ranking is only 17, it is far ahead in the sub-car class. Some time ago, we often heard about the SPARK price increase in the market, which reflects consumers’ recognition of this model.

　　In this survey, SPARK did not have a very prominent sub-item. Relatively speaking, it scored relatively high in sub-items such as overall styling, paint quality, interior space, interior quality, comfort, air conditioning performance, noise, fuel economy, and mechanical component reliability. Consumers report that SPARK has low interior noise; good sealing; reasonable interior space design; good fuel economy, very fuel-efficient; and fashionable and avant-garde overall styling. What makes consumers satisfied is also the abundant power performance.

　　Consumers also put forward some improvement suggestions for SPARK, such as the higher price of spare parts; the small number of after-sales service stores, which is inconvenient to maintain; poor sealing; the blind spot of the A-pillar is large; the maintenance cost is higher; the chassis is slightly lower.

　　Audi A4 ranked 10th overall

　　The Audi A4 was officially launched in May 2004. It has been more than a year now. The Audi A4 has achieved good results for the first time in the survey, entering the top 10 in the overall ranking. The Audi A4 scored highly in sub-categories such as sound, power, paint quality and sealing. In its overall evaluation, consumers said that the Audi A4’s appearance is dynamic and stylish, with good interior workmanship and outstanding safety performance. In addition, the luggage compartment space and air conditioning performance have also won unanimous praise from consumers.

　　At the same time, consumers have also put forward higher requirements for the Audi A4, and consumers hope that manufacturers can improve the details: reduce the maintenance cost of the Audi A4; improve the level of after-sales services; reduce fuel consumption; increase the rear row space; some consumers propose that the blind spot of the rearview mirror should be reduced.

　　Audi A6

　　There are only two models in this class, Audi A6 and Audi A4. Since FAW-Volkswagen has launched a new domestic Audi A6L, and the old model will be discontinued, this article will not focus on the Audi A6, but will only briefly explain the situation of the Audi A6 in this investigation.

　　The results of each sub-category of the Audi A6 are basically in the middle level, which also makes the overall score of the Audi A6 in this survey not high, but the performance of the Audi A6 in some sub-categories is commendable. Consumers report that the power performance, safety performance and sealing performance of the Audi A6 are good, and the overall shape, paint quality and comfort are also satisfactory to consumers. In addition, consumers praise the Audi A6 for its large interior space and good sound effect.

　　summarize
　　Our consumer satisfaction survey has received strong support from our readers, and we would like to express our heartfelt thanks for their attention and support. Consumers consider many factors when buying a car, and their emphasis on various factors is also different. Some people place more emphasis on fuel economy, some people place more emphasis on power and handling, some people place more emphasis on after-sales services, and some people place more emphasis on maintenance costs. The lower-ranked models in the overall score may score highly in a certain sub-category. For example, the lower-ranked Xiali and Alto score very high in maintenance costs, and the characteristics of low maintenance costs are very suitable for the majority of economy car consumers. Therefore, they are also happy to choose these models.

　　As the number of new models continues to increase, consumers can choose from more models, and our satisfaction survey will include more and more new models, even MPVs and SUVs. At the same time, we also hope that more and more consumers and manufacturers will participate, making this survey the most authoritative and comprehensive reference for consumers when purchasing a car.

1599 yuan to buy the concert ＂pillar ticket＂ experience is greatly discounted. Who is ＂responsible＂？

A few days ago, Liang Jingru’s fans collectively launched a rights protection incident, which became a hot search. Fans said they spent 1,000 yuan to buy tickets for Liang Jingru’s Shanghai concert. After arriving at the scene, they found that the view from the seats to the center stage was completely blocked by the pillars erected in the venue area. Even if someone bought a high-priced seat in the first row of the infield area, they still couldn’t escape the "interference" of the pillars. The consumer experience was greatly discounted, so they got together and filed a "refund" application with the organizers.

　　Sun Qingyun, reporter of Yangzi Evening News/Ziniu News

　　Watching singers becomes watching pillars, and the organizers put the "responsibility" on consumers

　　Ms. Liang’s May 20 concert at Mercedes-Benz Culture in Shanghai was her "first stop" in China, according to the organizers.

　　Ah Shui (a pseudonym) and her friends are both "post-95s". They have loved Liang Jingru since childhood, and they belong to the generation that grew up listening to her songs. So when she quickly grabbed the concert tickets, she was very excited. Moreover, she got 1,599 yuan for the infield ticket, the first row of the first game. But when they arrived at the scene, they found that "the pillar is too big, and it can be blocked from the first row to the last row. The further you go, the wider the range. If you are unfortunate enough to buy a spot in the fifth-floor stand, you can only admit that you are unlucky, because you can only see Liang Jingru’s lower body."

　　From the photos and videos taken by the audience at the scene, it can be seen that the live stage of Liang Jingru’s Shanghai concert is set up with a "four-sided platform". The stage is in the center of the venue and can be filled with spectators around. Compared with the "three-sided platform", the design of the "four-sided platform" can increase the capacity of the audience on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is convenient for the audience from every angle to watch the performance "without dead ends". However, in Liang Jingru’s Shanghai concert, "large pillars" were erected around, causing the vision of many spectators to be blocked.

　　Ah Shui introduced that in addition to the four large pillars, there is also a lighting device on the top floor of the stage, which presses the singer’s space even more narrowly, so that the audience who buys high-level seats can’t see the singer himself at all, and can only see the "set".

　　When Ah Shui posted her experience on the social platform, many people came to complain, and she realized that this was a real consumption "pit".

　　On June 8, Ah Shui told reporters that her rights group had received "no refunds" from the ticketing party one after another.

　　What she couldn’t accept was that the organizers and ticketing parties put all the "costs", "losses" and "responsibilities" on the consumers’ heads – they didn’t inform the consumers in advance that the tickets they bought were "pillar tickets", the price was not discounted, there was no staff to help adjust seats after the opening, and the artists didn’t even apologize.

　　"I think the most important thing is that when the ticket is issued, you should tell me that even if there are parentheses on the back of the ticket, and the prompt of’bad sight ‘is marked, then at least I can be mentally prepared and decide whether to grab it or not." Ah Shui said.

　　There are many "pillar tickets" for concerts. Why don’t the organizers mark them when selling tickets?

　　At present, there are more than 400 people in Ah Shui’s rights protection group, and some of them are onlookers. Mr. Jiang, the owner of the group, told reporters that because he was dissatisfied with the consumption experience of the "Pillar Ticket" concert, more than 400 other netizens formed another rights protection group. "As of May 31, the number of rights protection we actually received in the form of a questionnaire was 480 +, and no one successfully defended their rights."

　　On May 20, Mr. Jiang went to Liang Jingru’s concert with his lover, traveling all the way from Taizhou, Zhejiang to Shanghai. "It was a special day. We were fans of Liang Jingru, and we watched her first concert in our lives. That day, choosing to go to Shanghai to see her, was very meaningful to both of us."

　　At that time, he didn’t actually grab the admission ticket, but increased the price by 1,000 yuan to enter by purchasing invitations, two for 4,600. "After seeing the location, my heart was really broken."

　　Unlike Ah Shui, Mr. Jiang immediately realized that this arrangement was not reasonable for consumers, so before the opening, he went to the staff at the scene, but was eventually told: no positions can be changed, there are not so many vacancies, "He asked us to stand behind and watch, not to occupy the safe passage."

　　In this way, out of love for idols, Mr. Jiang and his lover chose to temporarily endure their grievances. After listening to this flawed concert, "I am in a position where I can’t see the singer himself for almost two-thirds of the time, and I can see the back the most."

　　The reporter searched on social platforms and found that the audience’s dissatisfaction with "pillar tickets" was spreading. Liu Ruoying’s concert in Beijing and Zhang Xinzhe’s concert in Shanghai… all had audience members who tweeted, "This kind of perspective, the organizer sells this kind of seat without writing a clear note, won’t your conscience hurt?"

　　Lawyer analysis, defective seats, consumers should be informed in advance

　　For this flawed concert, Ah Shui hopes to get a full refund compensation from the organizers in the end, "because the time and energy spent on rights protection is really a lot."

　　Mr. Jiang learned that after May 20, Liang Jingru held a second concert in Shanghai on May 21. The organizers and ticketing parties did not change, but some of the audience who bought "pillar tickets" learned about their flawed consumption experience before entering the venue, contacted the organizers in advance, and received full refund compensation, or changed to seats with unaffected views.

　　He hopes that the organizers will soon publish the working map of the refund area and determine a refund ratio plan. However, he is angry that the organizers have not given a direct response and solution even after the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission intervened.

　　According to the poster of Liang Jingru’s concert, the organizer of the Shanghai venue is Shanghai Rubik’s Cube Pan Culture Performing Arts Co., Ltd., and the organizer of the whole process is Yongdaoxing Entertainment Co., Ltd. On June 9, the reporter made multiple calls to the two companies, but no one answered. The barley network that provides ticket sales did not reply.

　　Ah Shui sighed helplessly: The current offline performance market seems to be like this. Obviously, consumers spend money to shop, but the final interpretation right has always been in the hands of the organizers, "What kind of tickets can be refunded? It is said that it does not meet the refund requirements, so what is this requirement?"

　　Ding Jinkun, a lawyer at Shanghai Dabang Law Firm, believes that the concert "pillar ticket" is a defective seat, which should be discounted compared with other seats, and consumers should be informed in advance to allow consumers to have a choice. However, because they have already listened to the song, the contract has been fulfilled. "It cannot be refunded, but part of the discount can be refunded. The audience will give a method for calculating the proportion of the refund, and the organizer will also give a method to see which is more reasonable."

　　Zhao Liangshan, a lawyer at Shaanxi Hengda Law Firm, told reporters that as far as this incident is concerned, the organizers did not inform consumers in advance of the fact that the pillar blocked their line of sight. According to Article 8 of the Consumer Rights Protection Law, the organizers violated consumers’ right to know.

　　According to Article 10 of the Consumer Rights Protection Law, consumers have the right to arm’s length transaction. If the organizer sells the seat ticket with the column blocking the view at the normal fare, it violates the consumer’s arm’s length transaction right. "The consumer has every legitimate reason to ask the organizer to refund the ticket."

Running goal in 2023： 5km running for 15 minutes!

At the beginning of 2022, at the age of 40, I set a goal that I didn’t even dare to think about before: in 2022, 10km ran for 35 minutes!

Then this whole year, I basically gave up all other things, including all kinds of study and street fitness, and devoted all my time and energy to the only thing of running.

The reason why I set such a seemingly outrageous goal is because no one can run 10km for 35 minutes when I see those people who keep laughing at my slowness.

In other words, as long as I can do it, I can annihilate all these little people directly!

And I also found that these people who laugh at others’ slowness everywhere are just runners who have a little talent for running but don’t understand scientific training methods at all.

Therefore, I also look down on them from the bottom of my heart!

If I put enough effort into running, with my earnest efforts, I should be able to completely narrow the differences in talent, and it should be inevitable to wipe out these little people who only laugh at people with poor running talent to brush their sense of existence!

In contrast, my average pace was only 6:42/km, and the fastest speed of running 5km was about 25 minutes.

Then, after all kinds of training and attempts this year, the progress is as follows:

1）1km，3:50，2022.07.31

2)5km, 23:08 (average pace 4:37), May 31, 2022.

3)10km, 52:20 (average pace is 5:14), September 20, 2022.

4)400m, the fastest pace is 3:30/km.

5)200m, with the fastest pace of 3:00/km.


But the end result is a complete failure!

Although there is nothing wrong with the general direction and thinking,

The main problem is that,Your motor nerves are far worse than you think.

Specifically, all kinds of injuries continue.

I believe that countless failures in 2022 will certainly not be just a waste of effort.

On the contrary, the previous 99 failures just screened out the most likely successful path in the last time.

Therefore, it is very likely that my running performance will advance by leaps and bounds in 2023.

Run 20 minutes in 5km (average pace is 4:00)

If I hadn’t won the COVID-19 recently, I would have tried my best to score 20 points in 5km before the end of the year.

5km running in 17 minutes and 30 seconds(Average pace is 3:30)

There is something wrong with the previous idea. We should not directly challenge 10km, but fix 5km first, and then 10km will naturally come naturally.

This is a 100% achievable goal, and I am full of confidence in it.

5km run into 15 points(Average pace is 3:00)

This is a challenging goal, and there is no full confidence at present, because it may exceed its own talent limit.

However, I will do my best towards this goal and try my best to exert my greatest potential.

Mother-in-law’s tattooing ＂serving the country faithfully＂ is a pseudo-history, and it was only in the Qing Dynasty that it entered the novel.

> > > For massive news, please click "News Channel"



　　Mother-in-law’s tattooing is a long-standing and educational story among the people. According to a gentleman on the phone, it is acceptable for Yue Fei’s descendants to remarry his ex-wife Liu, and they can’t accept it without her mother-in-law’s tattoo. In fact, purely emotionally, why am I willing to deny this story that still inspires China people’s patriotism? But unfortunately, there is no account of this matter in the Chronicle of the King of Hubei written by Yue Fei and Sun Yue Ke. The following is the only note in Volume 9 of the Nazi Compilation of the Kingdom of Hubei:


　　The first minister was filial by nature, and he was troubled by the northern territory. His mother ordered him to join the army to serve the country, and he could not bear it. After repeated interest, I had to stay with my wife and foster mother and cross the river from Emperor Gaozong alone. Hebei is trapped, lost and stolen, and the voice is completely separated. I have been asking for a visit day and night, but I haven’t got it for several years. Russia has a visitor from my mother, saying, "And my mother sent a message: Speak for me, encourage the holy son of heaven, and don’t think of my sister." I secretly sent people to meet him, but I was blocked by the hustle and bustle. Eight out of ten people went back and forth, and then returned. My first minister was grateful and wept, and thanked me for being unfilial.


　　It can be seen that although my mother-in-law is an ordinary peasant woman, she is deeply aware of the righteousness, and it is enough to be revered only in terms of this record. The original record of Yue Fei backstab’s four words "Dedicated to Serving the Country" can be found in The History of Song Dynasty, Volume 380, Biography of He Zhu, but during the interrogation of Yue Fei:


　　Flying naked and showing the back, the back has the four words of "serving the country faithfully" of the old Nie, which goes deep into the skin.


　　This shows that the tattoo on Yue Fei’s back is years old. Of course, the two most original records quoted above cannot provide proof of mother-in-law’s tattooing. Reasonably, my mother-in-law, as an ordinary peasant woman, was generally afraid of not being able to read, and tattooing at that time was a special skill. In the eighth chapter of The Water Margin, it is said that Lin Chong was "stabbed far away from the military state" and "called a writer and stabbed his cheek". The twelfth time that Yang Zhi was sentenced, he also "called a literary craftsman and stabbed two lines of gold seals, overlapping with the left-behind department of Beijing Daming Mansion to serve as an army", indicating that not everyone in the Song Dynasty had the skill of tattooing people casually.


　　Even in terms of ancient romance novels or operas, Yue Fei’s Breaking the East Window, which was compiled in Volume 11 of Quanyuan Opera, was analyzed by the editor, and there were traces of modification by the Ming Dynasty. His 18th poem describes that Yue Fei was interrogated on Wednesday and replied: "If Yue Fei had this matter, would he be willing to stab people in the skin with the words’ serving the country faithfully’ since childhood?" It is difficult to judge whether this passage is the original words and phrases of Yuan opera or the reviser of Ming opera, but it also shows that Yuan opera may still follow historical records. Since then, it may have been written by Yao Maoliang when Chenghua was in the Ming Dynasty. (The sixteenth legendary story of "Loyalty" describes the same plot. Yue Fei replied: "Your honor is on the top, and Yue Fei has been engraved on his body with the words’ serving the country faithfully’ since he was a child. Please examine it carefully."


　　There is still no story of mother-in-law tattooing in the Romance of the Great Song Dynasty published by Ming Jiajing. Volume 1 of the novel only says that Yue Fei was in Jingkang, and when he saw Hu Ma, Song Bing cowered, and all the heroes in the countryside came, he went into the mountains to be the enemy. Fei said,’ A gentleman is not famous in the history books, but a thief who steals from the dog and lives in the world, is it ok?’ It is the four words of’ loyalty to the country’ that are tattooed on the back to show the meaning of not being evil. " Volume 7 of the novel says, "Yue Fei takes a confession, then splits his clothes and turns his back. Compared with Wednesday, there are four big black words, which are deeply rooted in people’s skin."


　　At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Menglong wrote the legend of Jingzhong Banner, and his second fold, Yue Hou Nie Bei, compiled the story of Yue Fei asking Zhang Xian to stab him in the back. The excerpt is as follows. Sheng (Yue Fei) said, "Zhang Xian, you brought a knife and impressed on my back the words’ serve the country faithfully’." At last (Zhang Xian) said, "I’m afraid of your master’s pain." "I was furious," he said, "Alas, I am not afraid of Yue Fei’s death, so I am afraid of pain!" At the end, he said, "In that case, the villain is bold!" At the end, he said, "It’s finished." The student said, "Let me forget it." "At the end, I should be introduced by Nie, and the outside (pale head) and the students should be dressed." At the end, I said, "Sir is determined to serve the country, so why bother to endure this pain?" The student said, "Zhang Xian, all courtiers now flatter the Lord and forget the monarch behind his back. I’ll engrave these four words on my back today to wake up those who forget the Lord and betray the monarch and ask him to look back." It seems that the author deeply felt that "civil officials love money, military officials cherish death" in the late Ming Dynasty, and made this remark.

The baseball World Cup is over, why can’t this sport ever get out of the ring？

Hello, I’m a crow.

There was such a sports event two days ago. In the final of the 5th world baseball classic (WBC) held in Miami, USA, the Japanese team defeated the last champion American team 3-2 to win the championship for the third time.

The course of the game was quite exciting. In the eighth inning, the United States approached the score to 2:3, and the Japanese team was in a critical situation.At the crucial moment, Shohei Ohtani, the star pitcher of the Japanese team, stepped forward and struck out his club teammate trout of the United States in the ninth inning to end the game.

However, no matter how wonderful it is, it is only wonderful for a small number of people, and it has nothing to do with most people. Even if you are a sports fan, it is estimated that you will only be puzzled by the news about the baseball classic from time to time-what game is this? Why should we pay attention?

This is no one’s problem, most people all over the world are like this, and the classic baseball game is good.No matter the world series of Major League Baseball, it can’t be a world-class sports event, but it can only sprout in some countries or regions where baseball is hot.

Traditionally, the top six baseball players in the world are the United States, Cuba, Venezuela, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan Province, China. In fact, the strength of baseball in Taiwan Province has declined seriously in the last 30 years, and there is no advantage in confronting European countries. South Korea’s baseball is also getting worse year by year, and the last three WBC games have been a round of swimming home. It is really strong, that is, the four brothers of the American and Japanese ancient committees.

Of course, whether there are six boys or four boys, the limitations of baseball can be seen at a glance: it can only flourish in the United States and countries or regions with very close ties with the United States, and there is no chance outside this circle.

During the baseball classic, the European region was calm. Although MLB made great efforts to promote it, it was not successful in other countries except in the Czech Republic.

Some people in China spare no effort to promote it.MLB held 38 offline games in 16 cities in China, many of which went to first-class universities such as Tsinghua University and Wuhan University. Tik Tok, Bili Bili, Aauto Quicker, Weibo, Wuxing Sports and other major platforms are also broadcasting hard, so the ratings are not to mention.

In the end, MLB boasted that the ratings of this game broke the record, but as long as you open the article, you will find that the places that broke the record are baseball "old areas" such as the United States, Japan and South Korea, and it will be hehe in other places.

Strange to say,Baseball is highly bound to American popular culture.For example, just in 2011, Aaron Sorkin wrote a screenplay, and Brad Pitt, jonah hill, robin wright Pan (the house of cards woman) and "Star-Lord" Chris Palate starred in a blockbuster.Moneyball., is a pure baseball movie.

The global box office of this blockbuster is close to US$ 80 million, and its influence in China is not small, with a high score of 8.3 in Douban and more than 100,000 reviewers.

However, its achievements are not ranked first in the history of American baseball movies, and Legend No.42 and League of Pink are both over 100 million at the box office.

However, watching movies belongs to watching movies and watching baseball? Forget it. Baseball movies can be circled, but baseball still can’t.

(Japanese dramas and cartoons are often based on baseball as the "daily plot". For example, Ma Zhizhun, a famous ACG playwright and known as the "big devil", often starts a baseball game without a word in his works. As a result, it turns out that the two fist products of Japanese animation and American blockbusters can’t help baseball really go out of the circle.)

We have a deep understanding of the strength of American cultural hegemony, butSuch an American national sport has been vigorously promoted by mainstream propaganda. Why can’t it make a splash all over the world?

This has to start from history.

When it comes to the development of baseball in the United States, we have to mention the Civil War.

Before the Civil War, baseball was a unique pastime in new york., leaving new york, few people know. No wonder, when I left new york, most of the United States was still in the countryside, and the sports carried out in the village were nothing more than riding horses and wrestling …

(It’s not interesting to draw a gun when playing ball.)

In particular, the southern United States knows nothing about baseball, with the exception of New Orleans, Louisiana, where there are 12 baseball teams, but they all go to new york to play every year.

With the outbreak of war, the situation changed.

As Crow said in his previous article about football,Sports and nationalism always go both ways.. New york’s baseball club became a collaborator in war mobilization. While encouraging players to enlist in the army, they publicized and urged others to follow their example:"It’s better to join the army than to wander the streets!"

New york baseball star Otto W. Parrison was appointed captain of the 9th Infantry Regiment and took part in the Battle of Antietam. All 91 members of the Brooklyn Nine Sky Team joined the Northern Army.

When these people went to war, they also brought baseball to America.

The soldiers began to play baseball almost immediately. Legions from new york are naturally the most active players, because they are most familiar with the game. The first organized intra-military baseball game was held on July 2, 1861, when a team from the 71st new york Corps beat the Washington National Amateur Club 41-13 in a park opposite the White House.

However, the strength of the teams rose and fell very quickly, especially during the war.

In that month, the 71st Legion, which won the battle, went to the front to take part in the battle of Burlang, with heavy casualties. The best baseball players were either seriously injured or killed. So in the rematch held in 1862, the Washington Nationals successfully retaliated 28-13.

These impromptu competitions are very common and often attract a large number of viewers and newspaper reports.On Christmas Day in 1862, the 165th new york Volunteer Corps competed with another team composed of soldiers from other states, which was said to have attracted 40,000 spectators.

Organized activities like this help popularize the sport among soldiers. Colonel Mei Sen Whiting Taylor explained that by 1863, baseball was all the rage in the Potomac army, and baseball players were everywhere in the camp, and there were games on almost every street.

Therefore, officers take advantage of the situation to use baseball for official purposes, encourage soldiers to ease the monotonous barracks life by playing ball, and supplement training activities. They also hope to use these competitions to cultivate friendship and teamwork spirit between men, and they will soon be asked to fight together on the battlefield.

The Civil War also helped promote baseball in the south.At the beginning of the war, due to the better organization and command of the Confederate army, a large number of inexperienced northern officers and men were captured.These big brothers need entertainment when they are prisoners of war, so they began to play baseball in the prison camp.

At first glance, the officers and men in the south, yo, this game is quite interesting, and they have started to learn to play baseball.

John ·GB· Adams, a famous American civil war hero, discovered this point. In his memoirs, he wrote:"We (the soldiers of the North Army) will sit on the river bank and watch their (the soldiers of the South Army) game. The distance is too close. We can understand every movement. If they play well, we will applaud them."

However, it is difficult for southerners to get baseball and bats, so they have to turn to temporary equipment. Their bats are usually made of wooden boards or fences, and the ball "may just be a walnut wrapped in yarn."

By the end of the Civil War, these baseball-loving soldiers returned to their hometown and brought baseball to the whole country.

It is conceivable that such a movement, which was popularized on a large scale in the civil war, has what significance for Americans.

As a result, the drama of sports and politics going in both directions was staged again.

In the second half of the 19th century, as an "English sport", football was quickly brought to every corner of the world by British expatriate workers and international students sent to Britain.The United States is no exception. Immigrants from Europe have set up football clubs in various places.

Nationalists and the baseball industry quickly United. For American nationalists, after the civil war, it is very important to unite the North and the South and rebuild American identity. They adopted two orientations,One is to separate the connection between American culture and British and European culture; The second is to establish the common culture of the immigrants in the New World and form the shared experience.

Therefore, in order to establish their own sense of identity, they regard Britain as an unwelcome "other", and British culture bears the brunt of the "other" culture rejected by Americans, and gradually forms the imagination of the group by comparing with other cultures.

In the field of sports,On the one hand, American nationalists reject and resist football popular in Britain and Europe, on the other hand, they are trying to shape baseball that can embody the "national spirit and national symbol". By creating myths, creating heroes and building history, baseball has become the "national ball" of the United States and the symbol and pride of the "American nation".

This is not a theory that crows are careless about their hearts. That’s exactly what Americans do.

Speaking of Spalding, I believe that people who love playing basketball will be familiar with it. But when it comes to the founder of this brand,Al SpaldingPersonally, you may not be familiar with it. This man is the best example of the combination of American fanatical nationalism and baseball.

Al Spalding was a baseball star. In the 1970s, he was the greatest pitcher in American professional baseball. After retiring, he became the president of the Boston team.

At that time, many people in the United States had studied baseball.According to the research of historian and sports journalist Henry chadwick, baseball originated from the English round-the-field ball and became a modern baseball after being improved by Americans.

Scholars of later generations also confirmed that what chadwick said was true by consulting a large number of documents and visiting.

But for American nationalists at that time, this statement was tantamount to digging a grave: "Our great national baseball was actually invented by the old colonial British Empire?"

Spalding said he couldn’t stand it.Although Spalding and chadwick have a very good personal relationship, this does not prevent his old man from saying that chadwick was born in England and is not an American in essence.

And in order to completely locate the origin of baseball in the United States,Spalding mobilized his own resources to set up a "Special Baseball Committee" in 1905 to collect information from the people and verify who invented baseball.

Of course, this Committee has no academic rigor, and people come with tasks. Spalding went out in person during the Committee interview.Only by acknowledging that baseball originated in the United States can it be appointed as a Committee member.

Finally, seven former athletes and sports reporters were selected. Spalding called them "having a high reputation in baseball and being an unquestionable authority on baseball knowledge" and appointed his friend Mills as the chairman.

However, there is no information that can prove that baseball originated in the United States after collecting data for several years.

Just as Spalding was about to give up, the committee received a letter from Denver miner Abner Graves.The letter said that baseball was invented by American civil war hero Abner Doubleday.

DoburdayGraduated from West Point Military Academy, he was an outstanding civil war hero. He took part in the First World War of the Civil War in Sumter Fort, and even more glorious, he fought bravely in Gettysburg, repelling pickett’s charge.

For Spalding, an American hero like Dobrday is the ideal founder of baseball. But there’s only one problem,This letter is obviously a small composition without any evidence.

That doesn’t matter, just it! In March 1908, the "Special Baseball Committee" announced its findings, declaring: "First, baseball originated in the United States. Second: According to the best evidence available so far, baseball was invented by Dobrday! "

Funnily enough, Graves, the engineer who wrote to the Committee, seems to be abnormal.In 1924, at the age of 90, he had a paranoid schizophrenia attack, thinking that his wife was going to poison herself, so he killed her first.He was acquitted of insanity and spent the rest of his life in a mental hospital.

It can be said that the American national game originated in the United States and was determined by a mental patient.

Spalding, however, is not mentally retarded or mentally ill. Of course, he knows the truth, but he doesn’t care at all. In a letter to Boston sports reporter Tim Munan, he clearly stated:"Our ancient American baseball must have an American father."

Graves, a mental patient, even made these remarks in that letter:"I’d rather Uncle Sam declared war on England than admit that baseball was invented by the British!"

As can be seen from the above story, Americans closely relate baseball to the unique national personality and historical development of the United States through fabricated and fictional myths, anecdotes and development history of baseball, andBaseball is regarded as a typical product of American exceptionalism, which marks the division between the United States and its European descent.Then the export of this sport is naturally not important.

After all, old Spalding himself said:"It is difficult for British people who have never breathed free air like American citizens to appreciate baseball, which represents American nationality."

Moreover, in those days, even if the United States wanted to export culture to the outside world, it could not do it at all.

What was the anti-British sentiment of Americans at that time?In 1849, Macready, a British national treasure Shakespeare actor, went to new york Astor Opera Theatre to perform, which aroused widespread resentment among the American people. Someone posted a message in the street, which read-"Is it the British or the Americans who rule this city?"

Some people even bought hundreds of tickets for the top floor of Astor Opera House and shouted "shame, shame!" by throwing rotten eggs, potatoes, apples, lemons and shoes on the stage. The slogan,Turn Shakespeare’s play into a pantomime.

On May 10th, tens of thousands of demonstrators surrounded the theater. The police were understaffed and had to call in the militia. The demonstrators were extremely angry when they saw the militia armed with live ammunition.Someone shouted: "You have the guts to shoot!" The militia said, I have never heard of such a request as yours in my life. So he really shot.

Nearly 30 people were killed and more than 200 people were injured in the police and militia.So I feel funny when I see someone say that the Boxer Rebellion is blind. What is blind xenophobia? Americans, this is blind xenophobia.

Unlike today’s impression of the United States, in the second half of the 19th century, the United States was far from being a great empire, but at most it was a regional power. At that time, the British Empire ruled the world.

Presumably, the Boxer Rebellion will not appear in the "empire", and only in countries that are angry with imperialism will the people have an uprising and resistance in the form of the Boxer Rebellion.

As mentioned above, football can be spread all over the world, and the dominance of the British Empire is indispensable. It is precisely because the British emperor has invested in factories all over the world that all countries have sent people to study in Britain. Only British workers have the opportunity to work all over the world, and their hobbies and entertainment can affect those places and expose people there to football.

At that time, the United States did not have this condition at all. There were not enough industries distributed around the world, and not many people would study in the United States.

Why are baseball so popular in Cuba and Venezuela?Because the two brothers were one of the few countries that were within the sphere of influence of the United States at that time.

Baseball was introduced to Cuba in the 1960s by Cuban students returning from American universities and American sailors in the country’s ports. Cuban student Nemisio Guillo established the first baseball team in Cuba.

At that time, Cuba also staged a drama of two sports competitions.The Spaniards who colonized Cuba banned baseball and asked Cubans to go to the bullfight to show their loyalty to Spain.

Baseball was also accepted by supporters of the Cuban independence movement in those days.It has become a symbol of resistance to Spanish colonization in the field of sports.

Behind the struggle between the two sports is also the battle between the two countries. When the United States defeated Spain in the Spanish-American War in 1898, it completely expelled the Spanish forces and turned Cuba into a protectorate of the United States, baseball swept away the remnants of bullfighting and completely became a national sport in Cuba.

At the beginning of the 20th century, American oil companies entered Venezuela, and it was American oil workers who popularized baseball among Venezuelan workers.

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan had a close relationship with the United States. At the end of the 19th century, baseball was introduced to Japan from the United States, thus occupying a dominant position in Japan. At that time, Taiwan Province and Korea were both Japanese colonies, so baseball entered. After World War II, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan Province became more closely linked with the United States, and baseball developed there.

In fact, at the end of 19th century and the beginning of 20th century, China was also one of the countries greatly influenced by the United States, and baseball started very early in China.

There are baseball teams in famous universities in Tsinghua, Yanjing, St. John’s, Fudan and Nankai. After the Revolution of 1911, baseball was listed as the official competitive event of the National Games and other events. The China baseball team also competed with Japanese and Filipino teams on the stage of the Far East Games, and performed well.

The development of baseball in Taiwan Province in the future is also related to the overall development of baseball in China in this era.

It is very interesting that the popularization of baseball among the people in China is closely related to the revolutionary army.

Around 1940, baseball was particularly popular in Liu Bocheng’s No.129 Division, and special youth baseball teams and official competitions were organized.

Liu Bocheng attaches great importance to military sports and thinks that sports can assist military training. He especially advocated the troops to play baseball, because playing baseball can greatly exercise the arm strength, which is helpful for throwing grenades, and the equipment is simple and inexpensive, and it can also cultivate the teamwork ability among soldiers.

After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, baseball was regarded as a military sport, and it was considered to have a special role in training physical strength and eyesight, cultivating soldiers’ brave and enterprising revolutionary heroism, agile and flexible movements, quick and decisive judgment and coordination system, so it called for the promotion of baseball in grass-roots companies.

On August 1, 1952, the first People’s Liberation Army Games, the "August 1" Games, were in full swing in the suburbs of Beijing. Besides track and field, football, basketball, volleyball and other common sports, baseball is also included. At that time, the six major military regions, the navy and the public security forces all sent baseball teams to participate in the competition, and the competition scene was as fierce as other ball games.

However, due to the outbreak of the Korean War and the invasion of Taiwan Province by the U.S. imperialists through Chiang Kai-shek’s puppet authorities, the relationship between China and the United States plummeted, and baseball, a sport closely bound to the United States, gradually cooled down in China.

Also in the middle of the 20th century, the United States finally surpassed Britain and became the biggest imperialist hegemony in the world, with extraordinary influence in almost all fields. But at this time, football has firmly sat on the throne of the world’s first sport, the mass base in the world has been established, and baseball has lost the opportunity to become a new "global sport."

Therefore, no matter how lively baseball is, it can only sprout in countries that are closely related to the United States. It is even more difficult to come up with this circle.
