  Although the Zhiji LS6 is positioned as a medium and large SUV, it has locked its competitors in the Tesla Model Y, Avita 07, JK 7X, and Ledao L60 in the mid-sized SUV market through a "high and low" pricing strategy. Among them, Avita 07 provides pure electric and range extension power for users to choose from, while Ledao L60 is a new brand and new model, but relying on the NIO power exchange network, it also has strong attractiveness, which is a big pressure for Zhiji LS6 to face. Of course, compared with these competitors, Zhiji LS6 has a bright model size and a high-tech interior configuration, which can also bring a lot of temptation to consumers.

◆ Editorial comments

Zhiji Car, Zhiji LS6 2025, Lingliu Smart Driving Edition

  Looking at the pure electric SUV market, we can obviously see that various brands are making continuous efforts in product innovation and pricing strategies, and have completely "rolled" the market. However, as we said above, the new Smart LS6 can impress consumers who pursue cost performance to a certain extent through the strategy of "high and low". Moreover, it makes this car more durable and better able to meet the aesthetic needs of different age groups.

  It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Zhiji announced that IMAD No Map City NOA will be officially launched nationwide in October, and will push all models, including 2024 Zhiji L7, Zhiji LS7 lidar version models, Zhiji LS6, Zhiji L6 models, and the new Zhiji LS6. In addition, the U-turn and ETC toll booth functions are expected to be launched within this year. With today’s price announcement, do you think it can become a dark horse in the car market this year? (Text/Autohome Zhouyi)

Original Yang Zilong Year to dominate the screen, drama fans are blessed!

On December 26, Yang Zi flew from Beijing to Hangzhou and officially joined the group.

The show had been officially announced to star Yang Zi and Li Xian. This time they are the second team to cooperate. They are looking forward to it. Although Li Xian’s costume is not interesting, the heroine is Yang Zi.

According to the script interpretation of "National Color Youth" in the past few days, filming will probably start in early January. According to the usual shooting schedule, the show will not be available to audiences until 2025.

However, Yang Zi’s Year of the Dragon wants to dominate the screen. Her modern drama "Love for a Long Time" with Fan Chengcheng has been promoted and is expected to be released in January.

Yang Zi has filmed many ancient puppet dramas over the years, as well as many long-lost modern dramas. In addition to "Love for a Long Time", Yang Zi and Xu Kai’s collaboration "Cheng Huan Ji" also passed the review on December 27 and is waiting for its schedule.

In addition, in the new year, the second installment of "Sauvignon Blanc" will feature Yang Zi as the protagonist. In the first installment, Merlin Xiaoyao is assassinated, allowing the audience to once again witness Yang Zi’s "silence is better than sound" acting. The second installment is said to contain all the famous scenes, such as the assassination of Tu Shanjing., Xiangliu’s death in battle, Xuanxuan’s crazy love, Xiaoyao’s breakup and so on. All these abuse scenes will be reflected in the second installment.

Yang Zi had a great time in "The Man" this year. His birth brought a straightforward, positive and optimistic sixth brother to life in front of the audience. As an actor, Yang Zi experienced the existence of children firsthand. Xiao Liu was too difficult to deal with. When Xiao Liu disappeared and Xiao Yao returned, Yang Zi couldn’t hide her reluctance to leave Xiao Liu. The role of Wen Xiaoliu in "Sauvignon Blanc" was another breakthrough and attempt for him. Yang Zi not only made a lot of practical efforts in terms of appearance, but also deeply understood and analyzed the psychology and emotions of the characters, and interpreted them vividly.

Recently, some media outlets shared a gift they received from Yang Zi’s studio, including a postcard depicting five characters that Yang Zi will meet with the audience in 2024. In addition to the three TV series mentioned above, there are also the movie "Drug Hunting" and the TV series "Green Hairpin".

As we all know, "Green Hairpin" was not broadcast due to the accident of the original male lead. Previously, it was reported that the crew had hired Peng Guanying to make up the filming. Now it seems that the news is true, and Huang Zixia (played by Yang Zi) can finally be seen by everyone.

"Green Hairpin" This is Yang Zi’s longest-running drama. It lasted eight months. This drama was very challenging and difficult for Yang Zi because many of his characters’ lines were professional. The closing lines of the case also included many group scenes. In order not to drag down the crew, Yang Zi was worried that his mistakes would delay the filming progress of the crew and affect other actors, so before filming started, Yang Zi had already sorted out all the scenes in the play about the incident.. You have memorized the lines.

During filming that year, fans of Yang Zi and Wu Moumou had an online dispute over casting. Yang Zi himself responded personally, saying that the show was the result of everyone’s hard work, and he didn’t want everyone to wait to see the finished product. I have always preferred this show.

Now that "Green Hairpin" has finally made a good start, fans are naturally happy for Yang Zi. Yang Zi will take over the screen in the Year of the Dragon. Which Yang Zi’s work are you most looking forward to?

Lin Qingxia talks to her teacher about a dream of Red Mansions, less like Daiyu and now like Baochai (Photo)



    China News Service, November 6, Lin Qingxia, a big star, has a "unique idol" in her heart, which is Taiwan’s cultural celebrity Jiang Xun. She once flew to Taiwan once a week just to attend Jiang Xun’s aesthetics class and listen to him talk about the dream of the Red Chamber.


    According to Taiwan’s United Daily News, after the "Awakening of Beauty," Lin Qingxia was moved to tears in front of the statue, and she was also enthusiastic about writing calligraphy, painting, and trying to write. Art kindled her enthusiasm, and even vowed to become an artist at the age of 60.


    Born in Xi’an, Jiang Xun is known for his floral waterscape paintings, and is loved by students for his aesthetic teaching and thinking. In addition, he has published several collections of poetry, served as the chief editor of Taiwan’s early art publication "Lion", and is currently the president of "United Literature".


    Q: When did Jiang Xun become Lin Qingxia’s idol?


    Lin Qingxia (hereinafter referred to as Lin): A friend gave me a CD of Teacher Jiang talking about the Dream of Red Mansions. I really wanted to see him after listening to it. Later, when I found out that Teacher Jiang was starting classes here, I took advantage of visiting my father in Taiwan every week.


    Teacher is my only idol, can’t get too close, too close I will be afraid, haha.


    Jiang Xun (hereinafter referred to as Jiang): Yang Fan (Hong Kong film director) laughed at her: "You must have no idol in your life, you must find an idol."


    Lin: The teacher is still my half sleeping pill. Because listening to the teacher talk about the disc (CD) of the Dream of Red Mansions, my heart is very stable and it is easy to fall asleep.


    Jiang: I was also told by someone on the MRT (urban railway) that he had long insomnia and fell asleep as soon as he listened to my audiobook. My voice made him quiet. I am very happy.


    Q: What is the reason for opening the private lecture hall of Dream of Red Mansions?


    Jiang: At first, a group of good friends hoped to have different spiritual pursuits outside of a wealthy life, so at first they not only talked about the Dream of the Red Chamber, but also studied Chinese art history and Western art history; it was just a small class of ten or twenty students, and classes were held every Friday afternoon.


    When Qingxia first came to class, I was very nervous. She is a big star, and the staff who borrowed our venue came to line up two rows and waited to see Qingxia. I was still inevitably disturbed by the media’s shaping of her…


    Lin: His eyes didn’t even float to my side! I sat on the side, and he almost saw me, and his eyes moved away again. I thought, well, this is very safe, the teacher doesn’t look at me, so I put on my reading glasses, but I didn’t expect to look up, Oh, the teacher saw me!


    Jiang: Haha, as soon as I saw Qingxia wearing presbyopia glasses, the big star suddenly became a real person – she would be presbyopia too! After that, I felt so relaxed, as if the spell had been broken. Therefore, it is a great practice to know the essence of a person with a clear water. Qingxia is my very important homework.


    In those years, most of the classes were taught by wealthy people, and Dream of the Red Chamber was also about the things of wealthy families, and also about the pain of deep love. It has been more than a year since the class ended, and everyone has changed a little, and some people have left. They called me teacher, but I have learned a lot from them, because I believe that it is not easy to pass the level of wealth and deep love.


    Q: Lin Qingxia once played Jia Baoyu. What is her experience when reading Dream of Red Mansions?


    Lin: Everyone guessed that I played Lin Daiyu, Zhang Aijia played Jia Baoyu, and then we switched. Director Li ("A Dream of Red Mansions" director Li Hanxiang) said, I have a feeling that the jade tree is in the wind, and I also think I can play it.


    The roles I have played, I love the male actor: Jia Baoyu and Dongfang Undefeated.


    Jiang: I think Li Hanxiang is amazing. Qingxia has a kind of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes, and he can see it. I just came back from Paris to see this movie, and I remember it very clearly. She was so thrilling when she was beaten by Jia Zheng!


    Lin: My little daughter didn’t dare to watch that scene and hugged me blushing. I told her that I actually put on a towel and wasn’t afraid, not afraid.


    In real life, some people guess that I am Xue Baochai. I hope to be able to be Wang Xifeng, so good at housekeeping, but not so poisonous. In fact, there was a nasty part of Lin Daiyu’s personality in the past, crying, sensitive, and worried, and others thought I was awkward.


    Jiang: Looking at Qingxia’s "Outside the Window", I know she must be very awkward. Her face is covered with a layer of fog, and joy and sadness are mixed on her face.


    Lin: I was too simple at that time. I had just graduated from high school and was only seventeen years old. But when the teacher met me, I had already become Xue Baochai. After getting married, I changed roles naturally.


    Jiang: We all have Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai in our characters, and we will always be in conflict between the two personalities. Lin Daiyu died with uncompromising persistence, and Xue Baochai knew how to be harmonious and compromise with the world to survive. We need to have self-persistence inside, and be able to get along with people easily outside. It is a great wisdom to be able to balance the two.


    Lin: Well said, that’s what happened! When I was a teenager, I loved to talk about my worries, and I didn’t know what I was worried about, and I was very unhappy. Before the age of 30, my pain accounted for 80%. Once I looked in the mirror and asked myself who I was? What did I look like? Director Tan Jiaming said to me: "If you can ignore people’s opinions, you will succeed."


 




    Girls’ feelings are like Daiyu, marrying into Xing Mansion is like Baochai


    "The tide is coming and going, and the white clouds are still in the corner of the green mountain." Jiang Xun wrote a poem, framed it as a hanging shaft and sent it to Lin Qingxia. Very calm characters, he said that he wrote it after forty-five minutes of meditation, and gave her this quiet, so that she can visualize it when she meditates. "It’s so beautiful! It’s like Master Hongyi’s characters, um, better than Hongyi!" Lin Qingxia couldn’t stop admiring, but also because of her intimate consideration.


    For this teacher-student conversation that originated from the Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Qingxia flew from Hong Kong and returned to the place where she used to talk about the Dream of the Red Chamber in class with Teacher Jiang, but some of her classmates were no longer there. In the old place, the teacher was still Jiang Xun, and Lin Qingxia was the only student.


    A stranger on the MRT once said to Jiang Xun: "You donated a bell in the temple in your previous life, so you will have a good voice in this life." Lin Qingxia said Jiang Xun was her "half sleeping pill", and his voice brought calming power.


    Jiang Xun claims to be an "aesthetic evangelist". He talks about beauty, which is so moving that it almost has the power of religious infection. The "Dream of Red Mansions Private School" opened for rich friends is like a metaphor for real life; when he tells a book, he also looks into the hearts of the listeners; Lin Qingxia’s eyes looking up to Jiang teacher are not limited to red school, but seek guidance for walking life.


    Everyone can see themselves in "A Dream of Red Mansions," Mr. Jiang said, even the villains Xue Pan or Jia Rui. Lin Qingxia, who was praised by the director Tsui Hark as "a beauty who only came out in 50 years," sees a certain part of Lin Daiyu’s sensitive and awkward young personality. But friends who know "Mrs. Xing" in Hong Kong guess that she is like Xue Baochai who knows the world.


    But she admires Wang Xifeng, the capable housekeeper; and Cecilia, the wife of the former French president who has just been freed from the shackles of the "first lady", also makes her admire: "How can she be so dashing?"


    Through the halo of a big star, Jiang Xun saw her emotions and vulnerability as a human being, as well as her joy as a mother, with his broad experience in life, "I love watching you talk to your daughter on the phone, your whole face is lit up." Jiang Xun’s understanding and guidance also gave Lin Qingxia the space to be comfortable in the world where she was not allowed to be fat or ugly.


    Lin Qingxia, who decided to be happy after the age of 30, wants to laugh more by herself, "If you laugh more, you’ll get used to it." Now it’s easy: being photographed frowning, the Hong Kong media guessed that she was depressed; her clothes were loose, and the gossip said how she became fat? Lin Qingxia said magnanimously: "I don’t care what they write, as long as the photos are beautiful!" Drinking the handmade rice wine that Lin Qingxia specially brought for him, Jiang Xun’s face was slightly red and he nodded at Qingxia.


    Knowing each other in the world is also a heartfelt beauty. Outside the window, neon lights light up one by one, and Lin Qingxia walks out of the "Dream of Red Mansions" with tears in her smile, rushing to catch a flight back to her "Xing Guofu" overnight.

  The increasingly popular "Cloud Fitness" has entered the homes of ordinary people, and the development of "internet plus Fitness" is playing an increasingly important role. The Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of National Fitness Facilities and Developing Mass Sports (hereinafter referred to as the Opinions) issued by the General Office of the State Council recently proposed that "internet plus Fitness" will be promoted, the national community sports activity management service system will be developed, and the brand of "National Community Games" will be built.

  "Cloud Fitness" is widely popular.

  During the epidemic prevention period, home-based fitness and home-based sports have become the new fashion. Let fitness link "cloud" and embrace "cloud" is the choice of many fitness enterprises and sports practitioners. More and more sports enthusiasts choose the "cloud" fitness mode, and "internet plus Fitness" has ushered in rapid development.

  According to the data of fitness software Keep, the average duration of user exercise during epidemic prevention is 36.2 minutes each time, nearly double that in 2019. In addition to the skyrocketing number of users of fitness software, many fitness institutions have also taken the opportunity to launch online services. Fitness instructors became "online celebrity" on the live broadcast platform, and many retired and active sports stars also boarded the "cloud" to record videos to guide public fitness.

  With the increasing demand in the field of "cloud fitness", more and more "new players" have begun to flood into this field. Some sports media platforms and comprehensive video platforms make use of their respective advantages to allocate resources. Through cooperation with fitness institutions, media and sports management departments, they launch a series of fitness programs and resources, intervene in the pan-sports market and open up new business opportunities.

  All localities are also actively exploring new fitness models that integrate online and offline. The home fitness online sports meeting in Xiamen, Fujian attracted many citizens to participate; Qinghai launched online home fitness activities, and a number of "promotion leaders" and "fitness experts" actively led the fitness fashion emerged; The "Balcony Marathon" and "Family Fun Games" initiated by Chengyang District, Qingdao, Shandong Province are popular among residents. A few days ago, a survey on home fitness of urban and rural residents in Zhejiang Province showed that during the epidemic prevention period, 81.54% of the residents in the province carried out fitness activities, and 82.5% of them recognized the necessity of home fitness.

  The insiders believe that the "cloud fitness" during epidemic prevention has brought multiple benefits to national fitness, and the popularity of "internet plus fitness" will drive the growth of sports consumption and the development of sports industry.

  Online fitness becomes a trend

  In fact, with the rapid development of Internet technology and the enhancement of residents’ fitness awareness, the new form of "internet plus Fitness" has been developing at a high speed in recent years.

  According to the report released by Zhiyan Consulting, the way of China people’s exercise and fitness is gradually expanding from tool-less fitness to the combination of "online and offline", and the number of online exercise and fitness customers has soared from 10.4 million in 2014 to 126 million in 2018. Industry insiders predict that online fitness is expected to continue to maintain rapid development in the future after the test during epidemic prevention.

  Under the background of building a healthy China, the public pays more and more attention to sports and fitness. Can the cloud fitness method of exercising at home become a normal state to continue?

  According to industry insiders, after the epidemic, mass fitness will tend to be normalized, and outdoor and venue fitness will still be the mainstream, but this does not mean that "cloud fitness" will disappear. The epidemic situation has accelerated the Internet gene implantation of sports fitness and leisure industry, and the fitness and leisure industry based on offline scenes will strengthen online education and training and realize diversified business models.

  Zhang Desheng, Dean of School of Journalism and Communication, Wuhan Institute of Physical Education, suggested that sports, education, health and other departments should cooperate with the "internet plus Fitness" platform to establish a family sports and family health guidance system as soon as possible, establish a "sports and health promotion" database for every family, provide diversified and accurate guidance for family members’ scientific fitness, and encourage relevant industrial departments to develop fitness products that meet the market demand.

  Community sports are smarter.

  Regarding the development of "internet plus Fitness", the Opinions focus on the role of the Internet platform from the perspective of community sports.

  The Opinions put forward that relying on the existing platforms and resources, we should entrust professional institutions to develop a national community sports activity management service system based on PC, mobile and third-party platforms, and integrate the layout of national public fitness facilities, scientific fitness knowledge, social sports instructors and other contents to realize the functions of fitness facilities inquiry and reservation, social sports instructor consultation and sports training registration.

  At the same time, this system will also serve as the general service guarantee platform for the National Community Games. Relying on this platform, the brand of "National Community Games" will be built by market-oriented, and online and offline community events that are being or will be carried out in various places will be encouraged to join the platform voluntarily, so as to provide organizational management, talent technology and other support for related activities.

  "Establish a national community sports activity management service system and promote ‘ Internet plus Fitness ’ The construction of the digital platform is actually to improve the intelligence, informationization and digitization level of the national fitness public service. " Zhong Bingshu, president of the Capital Institute of Physical Education, said that the community sports activity platform has established a very strong network for future national community construction, including community safety service guarantee and other aspects, and laid a foundation for the overall construction and development of the future community.

  During the epidemic prevention period, with the help of technologies such as 5G and big data, online and offline fitness activities are getting through. Online public service platforms such as "Fitness Map" and "One Code for Fitness" have been launched in many places across the country. Users can realize various fitness needs such as booking stadiums, collecting sports coupons, registering for event training, and guiding fitness maps by using mobile phones.

  Nationwide, the national fitness information service platform developed by the Information Center of the State Sports General Administration and the National Sports Technology Innovation Center organized by the Scientific Research Institute has collected the open service information of tens of thousands of sports facilities, including the information of more than 1,000 large public sports venues subsidized by the central government, and has functional modules such as free and low-cost open information disclosure of sports venues, venue reservation, event activities, live broadcast of events, and consultation and guidance on information construction of sports venues.

When winter goes and spring comes, citizens set off an outdoor fitness craze.

Hehe Chengde Net reporter Li Ying

Spring returns to the earth, and everything revives. With the warm sunshine in spring, people take off their heavy winter clothes, while enjoying the spring scenery, they stretch their posture and keep fit. From the scenic pocket park and fitness green space to the well-equipped sports ground and gym, more and more fitness enthusiasts are beginning to sweat and enjoy the fun of spring fitness.

Take a brisk walk, kick shuttlecock and hit Tai Ji Chuan … Since the warm weather, Li Qingshan, a citizen, has been going to the Binhe Park near the community for exercise every day. "The weather is fine, and I no longer shrink from exercising. In the last two days, there have been more and more people in the park." In Li Qingshan’s view, going to the park to exercise can not only keep fit, but also make some new friends, which has become his "main business" since his retirement.

"Go, play ball!" On the morning of March 17th, xu feng, a sophomore studying in Hebei Normal University for Nationalities, met her classmates and went to the outdoor badminton court of Chengde Olympic Sports Center to play together. I thought it was early, but I didn’t expect the venue to be occupied by people. After consultation, they teamed up with two other college students to play doubles. Accompanied by wonderful smash, chop or clever high ball and drop ball again and again, four people played heartily and made an appointment to have another "killing" after class the next day.

At about 19 o’clock on March 18th, a passionate spinning course was going on in a gym in Shuangqiao District. Driven by the coach, with the intense rhythm, the students sweated like rain, and everyone was hooked after a class. As one of them, Ms. Dong is panting. "I just started to resume fitness today, and I still feel a little uncomfortable. I was lazy a while ago and gained a few pounds. I came to exercise after work today, which just reduced my fat." Ms. Dong joked: "Losing weight is secondary, and good health is the main thing."

In the park square, children chase each other with bubbles, and the elderly play musical instruments, sing and dance; On the street, running figures hurried by, and the sweat dissipated with the wind; On the basketball court, strangers get together to attack and defend each other, and experience the long-lost pleasure of sports … Another good year, the concept of national fitness is deeply rooted in people’s hearts, sports facilities for benefiting the people are constantly improved, and more and more citizens participate in sports and fall in love with sports, which enhances their sense of gain and happiness through joint construction and sharing.

Pay attention to the returning weather

In the next few days, we will usher in the peak period of epic freezing rain and snow, which is also the key period of rain and snow influence in Spring Festival travel rush before the festival.

Starting today, as the south branch trough moves eastward and deepens, the Jianghuai cyclone is generated. Under the double favorable conditions, a large amount of warm and humid air flows directly inland, and in the process of going northward, it meets with the cold air that is constantly infiltrating southward in the north. Under the cold and warm confrontation, it will stimulate a larger and stronger rain and snow freezing weather, of which 3-4 days will be the strongest stage of this round of precipitation.

The freezing rain and snow weather lasts for a long time, which has a great impact on Spring Festival travel rush. It is best to remind returnees to avoid the period of strong rain and snow on February 4, and try to avoid areas with heavy freezing rain and snow in southern Henan, Hubei and other places, pay attention to the weather and road traffic information along the way in time, arrange the travel time and route reasonably, and go home safely.

Open to traffic! Wenling main city takes 10 minutes to get on the expressway.

Car sparring market chaos: having a driver’s license can be regarded as a lack of legal norms

Illustration Song Xi

  I got a new car, but I didn’t dare to rush on the road; I passed the driver’s license test, but I haven’t touched the car for many years … … In order not to be a "road killer", more and more novice drivers choose to go online to make an appointment with a car to familiarize themselves with driving skills quickly and enrich their practical experience. However, many people encounter the problem of sitting on the ground and starting at a price during the sparring process, and find that the guidance content is not professional, and the whole industry even has problems such as lack of standards and supervision.

  market quotations

  Fifty or sixty to more than one hundred per hour.

  With a driver’s license, you can take orders as a sparring partner.

  Seeing that the index of winning the lottery is about to expire, Xue Lin recently decided to formally join the car owners. "The reason why I didn’t buy it was actually because I didn’t dare to drive. I was afraid that it would be difficult to pick up the car and go home." Although it has been five years since I got my driver’s license, Xue Lin knows that she is still a novice with zero experience. "I was still in college when I took my driver’s license test, and I haven’t driven it since. I completely forgot how to drive the manual gear, even if it is an automatic gear. It really makes me nervous on the road. What’s more, those who learned in the driving school were all exam-oriented, and most of them relied on rote memorization and recording points. The actual road conditions were more complicated than that. "

  Open a classified information network and enter the keyword "sparring". Xue Lin quickly found a large number of related businesses. "There is a special sparring company, saying that it can provide a variety of sparring cars, charging by the model. The 10-hour class package is the most common, ranging from 50 to 60 yuan per hour on average, and it is also allowed to bring your own car. In the past, you can add money to install a secondary brake." According to the introduction on the webpage, Xue Lin found that the sparring contents of various companies are similar. "Generally, dozens of items will be listed, including basic rearview mirror adjustment and dashboard introduction, as well as various road driving characteristics such as overpass and roundabout, skills of meeting cars, merging lines and parking methods, etc., and some specially provide zero-based classes for timid women’s quick training, or develop humanized sparring courses for middle-aged and elderly people and those with driving psychological obstacles."

  Who will be the sparring partner? It is also a concern of Xue Lin. "Some are retired driving school coaches, and some are veterans, but most of them have no special qualifications or documents. At most, they have some sparring experience." In browsing and comparing, Xue Lin also found that sparring doesn’t seem to be a barrier to entry. "Some of them are purely personal, just send a mosaic driver’s license and say ‘ I have plenty of time, low fees and skillful driving skills ’ You can hang out the title of sparring and take orders independently. "

  Through consulting customer service, Xue Lin learned that different companies have great differences in terms of agreements. "Some will sign written agreements in advance to stipulate the charging standards and accident responsibilities, but the specific terms of the agreements have always been drawn up by the companies themselves, and some are only verbal promises. According to the actual situation, there is no basis for this."

  meet with

  Temporary fare increase for sparring partners

  If you don’t accept it, you will be fined.

  After weighing it again and again, Xue Lin booked a 10-hour LaVida automatic sparring project in 700 yuan. "According to the customer service, the sparring staff will come to pick it up, and the company will take insurance in the process. I just need to bring my driver’s license here."

  After getting on the bus according to the agreed time, the sparring partner asked Xue Lin to get familiar with the car condition briefly, and then motioned to drive away. "Just how far away, let me stop at the roadside. I thought it was for guidance, but I didn’t expect to actually take out a price list." Xue Lin took a closer look and saw that the price above was much more expensive than what I saw on the Internet before. "Like the one I chose, it directly became 1200 yuan." In the face of Xue Lin’s doubts, the sparring staff calmly explained, "That is the basic price online. No matter what you teach, just step on the brakes when necessary. If you want to learn skills, you have to follow the list now. " Xue Lin was so angry that he immediately called the customer service. "I called five or six times, but no one answered, which made me have no way to complain."

  In fact, Xue Lin’s experience is not a case. In the recent sparring, Wang Miao also experienced a half-way fare increase. "Before leaving, the other party was quite professional, reminding me to adjust my seat and mirror and explain what details I should pay attention to on the road." However, after half an hour, Wang Miao found that the attitude of the sparring partner began to change. "The other party complained that my level was too poor, and I needed to add 500 yuan and upgrade to a VIP class package.

  Afterwards, Wang Miao found a sparring company to reflect the situation. "The other party was not surprised at all. He directly told me that if I didn’t want to upgrade, I could choose a refund, but I needed to deduct 50% of the liquidated damages, which was equivalent to being taken away from 300 yuan once."

  The sparring partner took a general sentence.

  The secondary brake is connected by a steel wire.

  In contrast, Chen Min was glad that she was not caught in a price dispute, but the guidance of the sparring partner failed to satisfy her. "At the beginning, the customer service gave me a training outline, with more than 30 items of content, large and small. I felt that I should teach it very carefully, but I didn’t follow that at all." After hitting the road, Chen Min found that the sparring partner only took a word in general and lacked maneuverability. "For example, he only said that he would adjust the rearview mirror to his comfortable angle, but how can it be comfortable?" He can’t say clearly. When merging, he asked me to pay attention to the cars coming from behind, but when is the best time to cut over? I still don’t understand, and I feel that I am fooling around. " After returning home, Chen Min searched some teaching videos on the Internet, only to know that there was a lot of stress in it. "There is no free tutorial for sparring with money."

  What makes Chen Min even more uneasy is that although the car used for sparring has a secondary brake, it looks unreliable at all. "I have carefully observed that the so-called secondary brake is not fixed on the ground like a coach car in a driving school, but the brake in the main driver’s seat is tied with a steel wire, and a pedal is also placed in the co-pilot’s seat. Even if the two sides are connected by a steel wire, the pedal in the co-pilot’s seat is not really fixed on the floor." After searching for this simple version of the secondary brake on the Internet, Chen Min was even more worried. "It is said that this kind of secondary brake is still risky. If something is blocked under the secondary brake, the brake in the main driver’s seat will also be affected. That would be terrible. A device like this should still have a professional risk assessment. "

  view

  There is no legal provision for sparring.

  It is still difficult for drivers to be excused from accidents.

  "For motor vehicle driver training, the state has special management regulations, including what conditions coaches should have, what documents they hold, etc. Teaching vehicles should meet the requirements of relevant national technical standards, and they should be equipped with auxiliary rearview mirrors, auxiliary brake pedals, fire extinguishers and other safety protection devices. Once an accident occurs, the coaches will also bear the responsibility, but the situation of sparring is completely different." Zhang Jinpeng, director of the Traffic Management and Transportation Law Committee of the Beijing Lawyers Association, said that at present, the state has not issued relevant laws or management regulations for car sparring, so there is no unified standard for reference. "From the sparring personnel, how long is the driving experience or what training is qualified? For sparring vehicles, is it legal and feasible to install the auxiliary brake pedal privately? From the content of sparring, who is in charge of how to deal with emergencies? From the perspective of sparring institutions, does the actual business conform to the scope of industrial and commercial registration? All these questions need to be answered. For this reason, the whole sparring industry is in a state of chaos. "

  Under the chaos, how to deal with potential risks and disputes? Although many sparring companies claim to have full insurance, Fan Li, director of the Automobile Drivers Working Committee of China Road Transport Association, said that this does not mean that drivers can be exempted. "Unlike driving schools, although some people sit in the co-pilot position during sparring, even the auxiliary brake pedal will be installed, the driver already holds a driver’s license. Once a major accident occurs, causing personal injury, the driver must bear the responsibility. As for how to determine the responsibility of sparring personnel, it needs to be carried out by the public security department or the court according to the agreement between the two parties.

  "Even if you really need to find a sparring partner, it is best to choose a qualified formal institution." Zhang Jinxi said, "Some driving schools can consider providing this service. After all, coaches have certain guarantees in professionalism, and there are also coaches that have been professionally modified and meet relevant technical standards, which are more reliable in safety. However, in terms of price and flexibility, it is necessary to continuously optimize and improve through market competition. "

  In Fan Li’s view, the emergence of sparring chaos largely reflects the shortcomings of motor vehicle driver training and examination. "It stands to reason that if you have a driver’s license, you should have the ability to drive a motor vehicle on the road independently, and sparring does not need to exist in large numbers. But the reality is that many driving schools are opportunistic, which makes it difficult for students to learn the real skills, and the examination items are not scientific. Many people will get the certificate but can’t drive. This is the crux that needs to be resolved urgently. " (Reporter Zong Yuanyuan)

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.
