  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 10 th Question: Is there any place to accommodate the fitness fever suppressed by the epidemic?

  — — One of the series of national fitness surveys

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  After more than three months, Cui Ke, who lives in Beijing, finally played a ball.

  "I’m exhausted," said Cui Ke, 42. However, speaking of his own assists, I can feel his pride and satisfaction through the phone. "I still prefer outdoor exercise, but I can’t display it at home, and I am always afraid of disturbing my neighbors."

  The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has made people retreat from outdoor to indoor. Many people, like Cui Ke, follow the online tutorial to exercise at home every day, but deep down they still miss the comfort and carefree of calling friends and sharing sweat under the sunshine and breeze.

  With the relief of the epidemic, outdoor fitness facilities that have been cold for a long time are gradually becoming more and more lively, and the contradiction between supply and demand of outdoor fitness facilities that was temporarily covered up by the order of staying at home will reappear. This epidemic situation makes people feel the importance of health, fitness and immunity more and more. Obviously, after the epidemic situation, people will put forward higher requirements for the quantity and quality of fitness places. Before and after the epidemic, Xinhua News Agency reporters conducted in-depth research in Shanghai, Tianjin, Suzhou and other places, and also referred to some foreign experiences in developing mass sports, hoping to promote the better development of national fitness.

  Epidemic surprise stimulates home fitness fever

  In the leisure time at home, more and more people put down their mobile phones, take a step and join the army of sweat for health. The 25-year-old Shen Yutao is such a "fitness newcomer" who cultivated exercise habits from scratch after the epidemic.

  "Before, because of the tight work rhythm, long-term sedentary and irregular diet, I gradually felt that my figure was out of shape, and my physique was gradually declining, which made me easy to get sick," said Shen Yutao, who is engaged in consulting industry.

  After working at home during the epidemic period, Shen Yutao started his own fitness plan, taking regular exercise with reference to the tutorials on fitness software, and taking a rest every two days.

  "By persisting in exercise, my physical condition has obviously improved, and persistent completion of the set goals is also an improvement to my personal spiritual level." Shen Yutao said that after the epidemic, he plans to start running and fitness.

  According to the data provided by the fitness software Keep, during the epidemic, the average duration of user exercise was 36.2 minutes each time, nearly doubling compared with 2019. The cumulative coverage of sports live broadcasts launched by Keep in conjunction with many institutions and fitness experts exceeded 56.5 million.

  Li Xinyan, general manager of Keep, said that in the short term, there may be large-scale "fresh air" behavior after the epidemic. Everyone has been at home for a long time and wants to go out and move. People’s demand for home sports will decrease, but the demand for outdoor sports will increase. But in the long run, people’s online exercise habits will continue during the epidemic, and regular exercise will be the norm.

  Zhong Bingshu, president of the Capital Institute of Physical Education, also said that the sudden epidemic has given people a vivid lesson, and the change of health awareness will inevitably bring about an increase in fitness demand. However, he also said that home fitness is a special state that has to be done during the epidemic. On the one hand, the area available for fitness exercise in the home is very limited; On the other hand, participating in fitness activities is also one of the important means of interpersonal communication, which cannot be achieved by home exercise. Therefore, outdoor fitness and gym fitness will remain the mainstream after the epidemic, and home exercise can only be a supplement to people’s fitness methods.

  Docking the "last mile"

  Being at home is a special state during the epidemic. It is also in this special environment that office workers like Shen Yutao get regular fitness conditions. After the epidemic is over, people’s life rhythm will become faster again, and their free time will be reduced. The adherence to fitness habits needs to be supported by convenient venues and facilities.

  At the end of 2019, Xinhua News Agency reporters found in various places that many cities are making use of various "Jinjiao Silver Borders" in the core areas of cities to build fitness facilities, connecting the "last mile" of fitness venues and providing convenience for people’s fitness. This is also emphasized and advocated by many documents of the State Council.

  Suzhou Shishan Hengtang Street Recreation and Sports Badminton Center, which has 14 badminton courts and 5 table tennis courts, was converted from a former factory building. The center is located in the core area of Suzhou High-tech Zone, but the street clearly defines the service purpose of "giving priority to public welfare" to benefit the people. From 7: 00 to 9: 00 in the morning, it is open at the low price of 5 yuan per person, and the opening price at other time periods is also lower than the market price. The street also holds regular table tennis and badminton events based on the venue to increase the sense of participation and gain of the fitness crowd.

  "After the factory is recovered, it will become idle assets. What we have to do is to integrate idle assets and solve the problem of where people go to exercise." Liu Lan, stationmaster of Hengtang Street Cultural and Sports Station in Shishan, said, "The operation effect is still very good. People in the basic nearby areas will come here, and the venue is often full."

  Despite the cold winter, Qujiang Park in Tianjin is still very lively. The ball field is full of fitness people, and the fitness equipment room is also full of laughter.

  Qujiang Park was originally an ordinary city park, but after the transformation in 2018, except for squares, green spaces and trails, all kinds of fitness venues and equipment in the park are already full. According to Lou Yueguang, deputy director of the Sports Bureau of Hexi District, Tianjin, it is difficult to build a fitness center in the community because there are many old residential areas nearby, so transforming the park is the most feasible scheme. When the government invested in the renovation, various sports venues and facilities were added to meet the diverse fitness needs of the surrounding residents.

  Under the viaduct along Fuxing River in Hexi District, the cage basketball court between piers has become a small world for basketball lovers. The basketball court covers a small area, but it is a perfect use of space, which does not hinder traffic and can shelter from rain and snow.

  According to Wang Bing, president of Hebei Yonghuai National Fitness and National Health Development Research Institute, the fitness venues around these people are the best embodiment of the people-centered concept of national fitness work. Wang Bing believes that the construction of fitness facilities should pay attention to demand investigation, and the concept should be changed from "what I want to provide" to "what the people need" according to the principle of "according to the need, time and place".

  Create a fitness online celebrity according to local conditions

  By the Huangpu River, the morning light outlines the city’s skyline. On the riverside trail, in addition to tourists who take pictures, there are runners who try to adjust their breathing. Seizing the opportunity of Shanghai to promote the cross-strait connection of Huangpu River and the transformation of riverside coastline, Shanghai Sports Bureau took the lead in transforming the abandoned factory buildings in Yangpu District into public sports centers. Fitness trails, basketball courts and skateboarding venues & HELIP; … More than 20 sports venues scattered along the river have revitalized the once ruined industrial remains.

  There are light stadiums that can be scanned at any time, fitness stations that provide free direct drinking water and change clothes and storage functions, rest areas equipped with defibrillators and professional emergency personnel, and artistic spaces and landmark landscapes for the transformation of industrial remains. The river breeze blows gently, the lights flash, history and fashion meet, and the fitness venue blends with the scenic spots in online celebrity. In the words of Zhao Guangsheng, deputy director of Shanghai Sports Bureau, "the industrial rust belt of the past has become the life show belt of today".

  Also welcoming the "gorgeous turn" is the old railway around the city in Tianjin. The abandoned railway section in Hexi District has been transformed into a greenway park, and the original rail line has been transformed into a fitness trail nearly 5 kilometers long.

  "There was no place to go (exercise) when there was no trail. Now I come here two or three times a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon in winter, and I also go out for a walk in the summer evening, "said Uncle Cui, who lives in a nearby neighborhood. Because it is next to a residential area, people come and go on the trail, which is very lively.

  Greenway Park retains the theme style of the railway, and the landscape design of platforms, bus stops and tracks makes people vaguely feel the elegance of the railway around the city in the past, which makes this fitness center reflect some cultural and historical details. Fitness venues and recreational facilities suitable for people of different ages have turned this once freight artery into a new urban landscape that gathers popularity.

  Wang Hong, deputy secretary of the Party Group of Tianjin Sports Bureau, said that the transformation of the ring railway in other areas of Tianjin will continue in the future, and the ultimate goal is to build a fitness greenway circle integrating fitness, leisure and sightseeing functions on the basis of the old railway, making it a "city necklace" of Tianjin.

  Suzhou’s fitness trail around the ancient city river is 16 kilometers long, which is an important part of China’s Grand Canal cultural belt, a world cultural heritage, and also a livelihood project for citizens to relax and exercise and tourists to experience Soviet-style life.

  Along the trail, a physical fitness test and exercise guidance station, a fitness Little Square and a fitness path are set up, so that people born by the water can move according to the water and enjoy being near the water. On the sports culture billboards erected at intervals, you can hear Wu Nong’s nursery rhymes with the theme of sports games as long as you scan the code on your mobile phone, so that pedestrians can appreciate the Millennium culture of Wudi.

  For a long time, the construction of fitness venues in China has lagged behind. Inadequate venue facilities and unreasonable distribution have become a short board that restricts the development of national fitness. However, the practices in Shanghai, Tianjin and Suzhou show that grounded and popular fitness venues can not only be integrated into the blueprint of urban development, but also become a bright color to highlight the cultural features of the city, so that people can enjoy it and make the city beautiful.

Foreign media: North Korea’s Fengxili nuclear test site is showing signs of restarting, and the satellite found traces of cars passing by.

Fengxili nuclear test site

  After North Korea announced a "major" test last weekend, American commercial satellites recently found signs of restarting the Fengxili nuclear test site abandoned by North Korea last year.

  South Korea’s "Central Daily News" quoted the US North Korea website "38 North" as saying on December 11 that "traces of cars and people passing by were found at the Fengxili nuclear test site", saying that "the tunnel area closed by the nuclear test site has not been observed before, but in the photos taken between November 18 and December 7, you can see traces of cars passing by and footprints of people on the snowy road".

  38North said, "It is still impossible to judge the significance of these activities, but at least it can show that North Korea may have left some personnel at the nuclear test base as it did in March this year." The media also said in March this year that "some slight footprints were found around the closed tunnel area, but no reconstruction trend was found at the scene". However, only footprints were found in March this year, but now there are traces of cars passing by. The situation is slightly different.

  The Central Daily News reported that from these slight signs, it is still impossible to judge that North Korea is restarting its nuclear test base. However, the South Korean authorities believe that North Korea can complete the restoration of the nuclear test site within weeks or months.

  In April 2018, North Korea decided that it would suspend its nuclear test and intercontinental ballistic missile launch test from April 21 of the same year, and it would abandon the Fengxili nuclear test site in northern North Korea.

  On May 24, last year, North Korea blasted several tunnels in the test site and dismantled related facilities, officially announcing the abandonment of the nuclear test site. According to Xinhua News Agency, an international press group composed of 10 overseas media reporters from China, Russia, the United States, Britain and South Korea covered the demolition activities at the scene.

  However, since the breakdown of the "Golden Specialist Meeting" in Hanoi in February this year, the denuclearization negotiations between the DPRK and the United States have reached a deadlock. In April this year, Kim Jong-un, the top leader of North Korea, limited himself to the end of the year and asked the US to come up with a new constructive plan in line with the interests of both sides. Otherwise, North Korea will take a new path.

  On December 8, North Korea announced that it had successfully conducted an "extremely significant test" at the Xihai satellite launch site. North Korea did not disclose the specific content of the test, but it is speculated that it may involve intercontinental missile engine technology. The outside world is worried that North Korea may restart intercontinental missile tests and other activities at the end of the year. (Reporter Nan Boyi)

Hot Search: A Great Anti-cyber Violence Movie.

 Author: Hu Jianli

The film "Hot Search" tells the story behind a "girl’s bullying on campus" incident. By launching an online public opinion war, the heroine finally reveals the criminal truth of the real abuser, which not only has ups and downs and many reversals, but also reveals how online public opinion is incited and used.

In the current complex network public opinion environment in China, the release of this film is just the right time, which well reflects the presence and timeliness of film and television works, has a strong social practical significance, and has a warning effect on the majority of netizens. It is a realistic genre film with novel ideas and thought-provoking.

In 2013, Xin Yukun, a 29-year-old young director, won the Best Director Award at the 8th FIRST Youth Film Festival and the Best New Director nomination at the 51st Taiwan Film Golden Horse Award for his blockbuster suspense film Heart Maze. In 2017, the crime suspense film "Burst Silent" directed by him also enjoyed a good reputation, with 8.2 points for Douban and 54.25 million yuan at the box office.

In the above two films, Xin Yukun showed his exquisite multi-line circuitous narrative ability and unique cold realistic image style. Hot Search is the third cinema film directed by him independently, which also has suspense and criminal elements. The difference is that the story takes place in contemporary China metropolis, focusing on hot social topics such as online public opinion, online violence and sexual assault, which is more likely to resonate with young audiences.

This time, Xin Yukun took the initiative to change the theme and background of the story, and adopted a typological narrative technique that was more in line with the aesthetics of ordinary audiences. He told a story that was not very complicated, which was exciting and full of twists and turns, and was quite ornamental and topical, showing his strong narrative ability as always.Compared with the previous two works, Hot Search is a mature commercial film, but the background color of sharp observation of social reality and concern for vulnerable groups has not changed.

At the beginning of the film, Chen Miao, the editor-in-chief of the media played by Zhou Dongyu, published an explosive article on "Girls’ Campus Bullying" on the large-scale operated by his team, and also talked proudly about the skills of inciting online public opinion at the pre-editing meeting: "If netizens want to scold Zhang Xiaosui, we will provide scolding points". Unexpectedly, the girl Zhang Xiaosui committed suicide by jumping off a building after encountering cyber violence. Before jumping off the building, she sent a letter to Chen Miao to explain the hidden feelings. Chen Miaocai knew that she had been accidentally used as a gun. Although she had a desire for traffic and an ambition to become bigger and stronger from the media, she was a media person with conscience at heart. In order to make amends and get justice for Zhang Xiaosui, with the help of her colleagues, she burned her bridges and launched a just online public opinion war with Justin.

The framework of the whole story is not complicated, but the advantages are full and vivid details, exquisite narrative techniques, foreshadowing from time to time, and even sharp contrast between the hero and heroine, leaving some suspense until the last moment. Although it is not difficult to guess, because the focus of this film is not to create a suspense atmosphere, it enhances the drama and appreciation of the film.

Through the superb typological narrative skills presented in Hot Search, Xin Yukun once again proved himself to be a master narrator among the new generation directors in China, who can not only tell complex stories clearly, but also tell simple stories twists and turns.

Although Hot Search is a commercial film, it has a sharp observation and vivid description of the current chaos of online public opinion in China, showing reflection on online violence, criticism of those who are rich and heartless, and sympathy for the vulnerable groups.

In recent years, some plots in TV series, such as The Beginning and Imperfect Victims, have expressed and reflected on the phenomenon of cyber violence. However, on the big screen, except for a film "Search" directed by Chen Kaige in 2012, few works with this theme have met the audience. "Hot Search" can be called the most complete, complete and profound domestic film that shows the chaos of network public opinion and the phenomenon of network violence so far, and it has great social practical significance.

The film describes in detail the whole process of Chen Miao’s self-media and the investors behind it inciting and using online public opinion, and shows the audience the complete processing process of "hot search" one after another, which has a certain behind-the-scenes nature.

In the film, as an influential editor-in-chief from the media, Chen Miao’s mantra when she first appeared was "There are hot spots that cannot be ignored". In order to attract fans’ attention and reading, and win investors to increase investment, she broke the news about the video with ulterior motives, deliberately incited speculation without investigation and verification, and concocted the topic of "girl bullying on campus" into a hot search, which triggered cyber violence against Zhang Xiaosui, a girl who was pushed by netizens. Unexpectedly, as Zhang Xiaosui committed suicide by jumping off a building, online public opinion reversed, and netizens began to accuse Chen Miao of eating "human blood steamed bread" from the media. Chen Miao had a brainwave and quickly came up with a new trick: throwing a pot at a swearing netizen, interviewing Zhang Xiaosui’s mother, and using the video of the other side’s tears, not only earned another wave of traffic, but also successfully washed himself.

The wolf has a winning game when the shepherds quarrel. Chen Miao’s self-media farewell concoction of hot search and harvest traffic is just a pawn of the boss of the investor behind it, and Chen Miao is still complacent when he is shot by others. Subsequently, Chen Miao launched an online public opinion war with the other party to uncover the truth. The two sides constantly broke the news, and the public opinion reversed several times. Justice was once forced to the rescue …

The online public opinion war described in Hot Search not only makes the audience who are not familiar with online hype look thrilling, but also makes everyone alert: sometimes the so-called facts you see online are not necessarily the facts, and the so-called truth you see is not necessarily the truth. Each of us should maintain the ability of independent thinking, be objective and rational when speaking online, and don’t become an accomplice of cyber violence.

One of the most heartbreaking news in the first half of this year was that a primary school student in Hubei was knocked down by a car and killed. In the process of seeking advice from the school, his mother was attacked and insulted by some netizens because of her good image and elegant dress. In the end, the distraught and unbearable mother committed suicide by jumping off a building at the first seven hours of her child.

How to make the cyber violence that Hubei’s mother encountered before her death not happen again? How to make the cyber violence that Zhang Xiaosui encountered in the film not repeat itself? The film "Hot Search" has played a very good role in alerting the majority of netizens. I hope everyone can learn from it, consciously oppose cyber violence and jointly create a clean and tidy network public opinion environment.

0 am! The Beijing media made a controversial report: China football became a joke, and fans swore.

At 0: 00 a.m. Beijing time on November 3rd, after the China women’s football team was confirmed to miss the Paris Olympic Games, Beijing Youth Daily reported on it.

Although the media did not disclose more information, their report not only made China football a joke, but also attracted a lot of fans’ condemnation.

A goal said, "You can have a clear understanding after watching a game, Niu, don’t you talk nonsense?" Some fans also said: "These reporters have a profound knowledge of writing, and they understand it all the time. He knows it is useless. How can it help?" Onlookers said they were looking forward to it. "

Of course, some fans said: "Football professionals have not understood the whole thing for decades. He knows everything after watching a game. This is not a genius." "The somebody else’s head coach all dare not say understand, see a didn’t even see the complete game to understand? Who believes this? "

The map of the Lantern Festival in 2023 is released. Let’s go and see where the moon lights and the snow lights.

  China Weather Network News "Colorful flowers and thousands of trees, colorful night sky", the annual Lantern Festival is coming, the second day of this year’s beginning of spring solar term is the Lantern Festival, and the two festivals are closely linked, which can be described as double happiness. Going out to enjoy lanterns on Lantern Festival is a traditional folk activity in China. What’s the weather like around the Lantern Festival this year? China Weather Network specially launched the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival index map, to see where there will be lanterns this year, and where to enjoy the snow and light the lanterns.

  Most of the weather in the north is sunny, and the moon is accompanied by lights. In the south, it rains and lights.

  Lantern Festival is also called Lantern Festival in ancient times. On this day, every household hangs lanterns or goes out to enjoy them. The city is decorated with lanterns and the night is like day, which sets off the lively and festive atmosphere to the extreme.

  According to Zhang Juan, a meteorologist of China Weather Network, this year’s Lantern Festival (February 5), the weather in most parts of northern China is beautiful, mostly sunny or cloudy, such as Harbin, Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, Xi’ an, etc. It is sunny on this day, so it is suitable to go out and enjoy the lanterns and feel the beauty of the bright moon with lanterns. Shenyang, Changchun, Jinan, Zhengzhou and other places have more clouds in the sky, and the "clouds with lights" are more poetic.

  "On August 15th, Yun Zheyue, it snows and lights up on the 15th day of the first month" is a popular proverb in China. Snowfall at midnight snack this year is relatively small, and only snowflakes may appear in northern Xinjiang and southeastern Tibet, so the romantic friends who can feel the snow with lanterns this year can be said to be very lucky.

  In the south, this year’s Lantern Festival is another scene. It is estimated that except Yunnan and Hainan, which are favored by the sunshine all the year round, most southern areas such as Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi will be rainy, with some areas in Guangxi, Guangdong and Jiangxi having strong rainfall and local or current heavy rain. Friends in the above areas need to carry rain gear with them when going out to enjoy the lanterns, and be careful of slippery roads. If the rain is too strong, it is also a good choice to stay at home and enjoy the lanterns with relatives.

  The North-South Lantern Festival is full of excitement, and the equipment for enjoying lanterns is different.

In some cities that used to be ancient capitals, such as Xi ‘an and Nanjing, in recent years, the Lantern Festival has been combined with the culture of ancient capitals, so that tourists who are in the sea of colorful lights and Hanfu can "cross" in a second and dream back to Chang ‘an and Jinling.

  According to the forecast, there may be rain on the Lantern Festival in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Guangdong this year, and the feeling of wet and cold is also obvious. The public who plan to visit these lantern festivals should pay attention to carrying rain gear and adding clothes to keep warm. Although the weather in Beijing, Shandong, Shaanxi and other places is mainly sunny or cloudy, the temperature at night is low and the chill is online. When you go out to enjoy the lights, you can choose a thick down jacket and wear a scarf and hat to keep warm. People are crowded during the Lantern Festival, and cold viruses are easy to cross-infect. Everyone should wear masks and do a good job in health protection.

  The custom of Lantern Festival celebrates reunion and family fun together.

  In fact, besides enjoying lanterns, there are many other traditional customs and folk activities in China, such as eating Lantern Festival, solve riddles on the lanterns Lantern Festival and Youlong Lantern Festival, and each custom also represents a different beautiful meaning.

  1. Eat Yuanxiao/Tangyuan

  The north "rolls" Yuanxiao, and the south "wraps" glutinous rice balls. Although the food is different, the beautiful implication is the same: good luck and happy reunion. For China people, it is a very happy thing to be able to sit around and eat the round Lantern Festival and pray for a better life together during the Lantern Festival. For some wanderers in a foreign land and overseas, eating a bowl of Yuanxiao or glutinous rice balls on the Lantern Festival also expresses their yearning for their hometown.

  2. solve riddles on the lanterns

  Solve riddles on the lanterns, also known as playing riddles, is a popular Lantern Festival activity since ancient times. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people hang lanterns, so some people write riddles on paper and stick them on colorful lanterns for passers-by to guess. Because riddles can enlighten wisdom and cater to the festive atmosphere, so many people responded, and later solve riddles on the lanterns gradually became an indispensable traditional program of the Lantern Festival.

  3. Youlong lamp

  In Sichuan, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places in China, Youlong lanterns are also an important way to celebrate the Lantern Festival. In many places, there is a custom that "the fire dragon goes around the countryside and the people make Lantern Festival". Everyone expresses the significance of exorcising evil spirits, eliminating plague and praying for a bumper harvest by dancing dragon lanterns. Large dragon lanterns with bright colors walk through the streets with the sound of gongs and drums, which is very festive and bright.

  4. Walking on stilts

  The homonym of "stilts" is "look up". Performing and celebrating on stilts on the Lantern Festival means that in the new year, people should be far-sighted and make plans for the whole year in advance. At the same time, when walking on stilts, because you step on a high wooden pole, your body will also rise, so walking on stilts also means rising step by step.

  According to the Beijing Planetarium, there will be the smallest full moon this year in the early morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, which is somewhat special. It is not only the first full moon in the year of Guimao Rabbit, but also the smallest full moon in 2023. Friends who are interested in "looking forward" to the moon can watch and shoot about two hours after the Lantern Festival.

  The Lantern Festival is coming, I wish you all the best to enjoy the lights and the moon, and the full moon will be a reunion. (Text/Ma Heiyang Data Support/Zhang Juan Design/Ren Chengying)

The national "three haves" protect animals from flowing to the table to become game.

The gang illegally traded more than 70 thousand wild birds and was sentenced and compensated (subtitle)

In order to gain profits, a gang knows that wild animals such as black water chicken and field sole are "three-owned" animals that are protected by the state or have important economic and scientific research value, but they still contact each other to hunt and sell, consign and post them in the name of frozen pigeon meat, and illegally trade more than 76,000 wild birds and animals.
Recently, after the People’s Procuratorate of Donghai County, Jiangsu Province filed a criminal incidental civil public interest lawsuit, Ge and others were sentenced by the court to penalties ranging from 2 years and 3 months to 3 months of criminal detention, suspended for 6 months, and public welfare compensation ranging from 13.9185 million yuan to 12,000 yuan. At this point, a criminal chain with clear division of labor and complete links of "hunting, transporting and selling" has been destroyed.
Protect the animal incarnation "pigeon meat"
In October, 2021, the public security organ of Lianyungang discovered that Ge had consigned frozen pigeon meat with a gross weight of 5,335 kilograms to Guangzhou, Guangdong Province for 35 times through an airport in Donghai County in April of that year. Pigeons are found all over the country, and the transportation cost of airplanes is so high. Why do you consign "pigeon meat" so frequently and in large quantities in a short period of time? This attracted the attention of the airport branch staff.
After sampling and identification through legal procedures, the "pigeon meat" checked by Ge is actually a black water chicken, which belongs to the national "three-owned" protected animals, and the benchmark value is each 300 yuan.
On November 8, 2021, Lianyungang Public Security Bureau handed over the case to Donghai County Public Security Bureau for investigation. On November 9 of the same year, the police arrested Ge, and found that there were 268 black water chickens, 5 boneheaded chickens and 1518 field plaice in his car, all of which belonged to the national "three-owned" protected animals. After investigation, on February 16, 2022, Donghai County Public Security Bureau transferred 15 people including Ge Mou to Donghai County Procuratorate for review and prosecution.
Where did Ge’s "pigeon meat" come from? Hunting by yourself or trading? Have the upstream and downstream accomplices fully explained the facts of the crime? After a comprehensive review of the case, these problems haunted the prosecutor’s mind. After careful analysis of the case, the prosecutor in charge started an interrogation from Ge, and uncovered an illegal hunting, purchasing, transporting and selling wildlife gang.
The illegal trading chain surfaced.
After interrogation, Ge confessed that he was the middleman of the trading chain, mainly contacting the online for acquisition and looking for the offline for sales. "Online" Dai Moulei, Wu Mouren and others are a group of "professional" illegal bird catchers. They are familiar with the living habits of wild birds such as black water chickens. From October 2020 to November 2021, they hunted in the black water chickens’ habitats in many places at night, using nets made of white nylon silk thread to attract wild birds by means of food and playing bird calls. Once the birds enter the net, they will be firmly entangled and cannot escape. Dai Moulei, Wu Mouren and others will contact Ge to buy the captured wild birds after processing them. In addition, Ge will also buy wild birds from Ge Mobo.
Later, Ge Mou sold the purchased wild birds to Chen Mou, Xie Moupeng, Zhang Mouqing and others, and Xie Moupeng sold them to Huang Mouxing, Liu Moujun, Xu Mouqing and others, while Liu Moujun and Xu Mouqing also acquired from Liu Mouwei, Wang Mou and Wang Moucun … a "black trading chain" with Ge Mou as the core for illegal hunting, acquisition, transportation and sale of wild animals.
In this way, the hunted wild birds such as black water chicken and field plaice have been sold wholesale or retail by many people for many times, and finally flow to the table in the name of frozen "pigeon meat", ranging from roadside restaurants to wedding tables, becoming the game that some "bird eaters" flock to. After investigation, Ge and others illegally traded more than 76,000 wild animals such as black water chickens and field scorpions, involving a transaction amount of more than 1 million yuan.
Hold up an umbrella for wild animals
"There are a large number of people involved in the upstream and downstream of the case, and the number of illegally traded wild animals is large, and the handling process coincides with the entry into force of relevant new judicial interpretations. There is room for discussion on whether Ge and others are guilty of concealing or concealing the crime or illegally buying and selling terrestrial wild animals." The prosecutor said.
The prosecutor took the initiative to guide the public security organs to obtain evidence, grasped the investigation direction, made a detailed supplementary investigation outline, and suggested that the public security organs comprehensively collect and fix evidence on the acquisition source, destination, transportation mode and transaction mode of wild birds such as black pheasant and boneheaded pheasant, and carefully combed and analyzed the subjective knowledge, chat records and transfer records of the people involved, clarified the key clues, and finally verified the criminal evidence of Ge and others’ upstream and downstream transactions, and confessed through the accomplices.
In addition, the prosecutor in charge strengthened the guidance and investigation in the process of handling, and used the integrated case handling mechanism to strengthen the evidence review and check, and accurately characterized everyone’s criminal behavior. On September 29, 2022, Donghai County Procuratorate prosecuted 8 people including Ge Mou and Xie Moupeng for the crime of illegal acquisition and sale of terrestrial wildlife, and 3 people including Dai Moulei and Wu Mouren for the crime of illegal hunting. Ge Mobo was prosecuted for the crime of illegal sale of terrestrial wildlife, and two people, including Wang Mou, who was slightly involved in the case, were relatively not prosecuted according to law, and Wang Mouying, who had other facts involved in the case, was transferred to other counties and districts for review.
At the same time, the Donghai County Procuratorate clearly defined the specific scope of joint liability according to the amount of compensation for public welfare damage that each defendant had to bear, and ordered 12 people including Ge Mou and Dai Moulei to compensate for the loss of wildlife resources with criminal incidental civil public interest litigation, totaling 22.95 million yuan. At present, 10 people including Xie Mopeng and Zhang Moqing have voluntarily returned 215,000 yuan. Recently, the Environmental Court of guannan county People’s Court made the above judgment.
According to the prosecutor in charge, the case caused the loss of wildlife resources and the destruction of the ecological environment, and the wild animals sold were in danger of infringing on the health of consumers and causing public health emergencies, which harmed the public interest. Ge and others should not only bear criminal responsibility, but also bear civil tort liability for their actions that damage public welfare. After that, the hospital will also make targeted procuratorial suggestions in combination with similar case studies to support wild animals.

Poor export channels, fruit price collapse, Democratic Progressive Party hurting Taiwan Province fruit farmers

Farmers in Taiwan Province angrily smashed pineapples in protest, and the pulp was scattered at the gate of the Executive Yuan. (data picture)

Farmers in Taiwan Province angrily smashed pineapples in protest, and the pulp was scattered at the gate of the Executive Yuan. (data picture)

  More than 200 farmers in Taiwan Province recently went to the "Executive Yuan" of Taiwan authorities to protest their grievances and smashed pineapples in front of the gate. This summer, the wholesale price of pineapple on the island dropped to one in 10 yuan (NTD, the same below), while two or three years ago, the same pineapple was exported to the mainland and sold to 100 yuan. When some farmers protested, they shouted abuse on the spot, that is, "Taiwan independence" harmed Taiwan Province fruit farmers.

  Fruit harvest is "disastrous"

  Taiwan Province fruit prices plummeted this summer. First, the banana collapsed, and the purchase price of the south-central producing area fell to 5 yuan per kilogram, and the poor varieties were only 1 yuan per kilogram. Then the pineapple was in a hurry. The pineapple with good wholesale price and quality in Gukeng Township, Yunlin County was only 10 yuan per kilogram, which was not enough, and the inferior products with poor sales were still neglected in 2 yuan per kilogram.

  The latest disaster is pitaya. In previous years, the top pitaya was 1 kg in 200 yuan, but this year, only 20 yuan is left, and wholesalers only accept large ones, not small ones. Chen Haiyong, a fruit farmer in Yujing District, Tainan, said that Lin Congxian, the chairman of Taiwan’s "Agricultural Committee", publicly said that pitaya would be the next fruit whose price plummeted, and "officials said such things and caused market panic", which was the biggest responsibility.

  Taiwan Province is famous for its fruits. Why has this year’s harvest turned into a disaster? Because of the small market in Taiwan Province, when the fruit output suddenly increases, it has to be absorbed by export. However, the Japanese market, which favored Taiwan Province fruits in the early years, has now turned to Philippine fruits with lower prices. Since Democratic Progressive Party took office, he has pursued the policy of "far from the mainland" everywhere, pushing this big market which is most suitable for Taiwan Province fruits further and further.

  Fruit farmers on the island denounced Taiwan’s "Executive Yuan" when they protested, just because "Premier" Lai Qingde said, "I am pragmatic ‘ Taiwan independence workers ’ " , let cross-strait relations fall into a freezing point, affect the sales orders, and cause chaos in Taiwan Province’s supply and demand market. "After March this year, the export orders were gone, and everything ‘ Finished ’ " .

  A few years ago, there was a bumper harvest of fruits in Taiwan Province, but the result was quite different, only because the mainland started emergency procurement at the first time. In 2011, when Ma Ying-jeou was in power, there was a bumper harvest of bananas in Taiwan Province, but before the plight of farmers came, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council had already grasped the situation, and the head of ARATS personally flew to Taiwan Province to discuss procurement matters. During a recent visit to fruit farmers, Ma Ying-jeou said that better cross-strait relations can help Taiwan Province farmers sell their fruits to the mainland, but unfortunately such sales channels are almost gone … …

  Blame farmers for not being smart.

  Democratic Progressive Party authorities should have taken responsibility for blocking the sale of fruits and helped fruit farmers out of their predicament. However, the so-called "solutions" put forward by the Taiwan authorities are either superficial or purely show-making, which is basically useless. What’s more, officials of the authorities have even criticized farmers for being "not smart".

  In the face of peasant protests, Lin Congxian, the chairman of Taiwan’s "Agriculture Committee", took out "three arrows" and said that it was necessary to strengthen export, processing and direct promotion. Taiwan’s "United Daily News" commentary pointed out that these three tricks are "basic common sense" that can be applied to the production and marketing of all agricultural products. How can they save the emergency? The exporters of agricultural products on the island bluntly said that direct selling and processing were originally done by everyone, so why did the Taiwan authorities come? It is ok to export. The Korean market likes pineapples very much, but the tariff is as high as 30%. What has the Taiwan authorities done in the face of the export dilemma?

  What is even more speechless is that Lin Congxian actually accused the peasants in turn, saying that "it is smart agriculture now, and it is necessary to be smart to avoid natural disasters." According to this divine logic, the decline in fruit prices is caused by farmers being too stupid to plant too many kinds. As for the evil cause of the Taiwan authorities blocking sales, it doesn’t matter.

  Earlier, the "Agriculture Committee" also questioned that the collapse of fruit prices was "fake news" made by the media. Lai Qingde’s coup to promote bananas is to "boil bananas with skins and dip them in soy sauce", while Democratic Progressive Party’s "legislators" perform eating bananas with skins &hellip on the spot; … Taiwan Province’s "China Times" commented that poor farmers in Taiwan Province not only need to be on guard against heavy rain, but also have to carry heavy loads in the "dry talk" of the authorities and ask for more happiness.

  Mainland procurement sees the truth

  The official communication mechanism between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits stopped, and the emergency procurement mechanism of the mainland could not be started. However, in the face of Taiwan Province farmers’ requests for help, the mainland still tried its best to lend a helping hand.

  According to Taiwan Province media reports, Huang Jianting, the county magistrate of Taitung, looked for a sales channel in the mainland in early June, and Wuxi and Xiamen promised to purchase pineapples. The first batch of 16.8 tons was shipped in containers on June 30 and sold to Wuxi. Huang Jianting said that this is the first batch of pineapples sold to the mainland in Taitung this year, and Fujian also promised to buy 500 tons of pineapples in Taitung. Xu Ruigui, director of agriculture, revealed that Wuxi entrusted Taiwan Province traders to "purchase" farmers with 25 yuan per kilogram, setting the highest export price of pineapples on the island in June this year.

  Meanwhile, the "2018 Summer Taiwan Province Fruit Festival" opened in Beijing on June 30th. The event was sponsored by the Taiwan Province Affairs Office of the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, the Miaoli County Government of Taiwan and the Beijing Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, with pineapple and mango produced in Taiwan Province appearing in succession. Lin Zijun, the person in charge of Taiwan Province Guorantian Marketing Integration Company, said that the fruit exhibition is of substantial help to alleviate the unsalable situation of fruits in Taiwan Province.

  China Times commented that Taiwan Province’s market is too small to rely on the mainland. To solve the fruit problem in Taiwan Province, we should abandon political prejudice, actively communicate with the other side and help agricultural products to be sold to the mainland. Will the Democratic Progressive Party authorities listen to such a big truth?
