The history of Harley-Davidson motorcycle, a century-old legend of American highway

  [Brand History] Professor Commager, an American critic, tried to explore "the elusive thing called the American spirit" in the book "The American Spirit", which is a combination of self-confidence, independence, enterprising, tolerance and freedom, and also contains profound confusion and confusion. Regarding the American spirit, I believe everyone has their own interpretation. If you were asked to find a brand in America that best explains the American spirit, who would you choose? The first thing that comes to my mind is not the car brands, but the Harley-Davidson we are going to talk about today.

Home of the car

  Since 1903, Harley-Davidson has not only produced countless "exciting products" (Clinton’s evaluation), but also created a riding culture that embodies passion, freedom and independence. In the course of one hundred years’ development, it has experienced many baptism of war, economic recession, buyout and repurchase, foreign competition and market changes, and its success is called the legend of American traditional manufacturing industry. However, for such a brand, it is easy to be over-exaggerated and mythical. In the final analysis, it is only a means of transportation or one of the tools for people to express their personality, and it is not the only one. How to interpret the brand connotation of Harley-Davidson? I believe that a comprehensive understanding of its history is a good way.

● Milwaukee, the birthplace of legend

Home of the car

  There was no expressway in Milwaukee more than 100 years ago. Most roads were paved with pebbles, and the streets were mostly gravel roads or dirt roads. Wagons are the main means of transportation in this city, while ordinary people without wagons have to walk or ride bicycles. Of course, the difficulties people faced at that time were far more than just traveling, but also incurable diseases and lack of material conditions.

Home of the car

  Although the basic conditions are very poor, the industrial revolution has brought people extremely valuable wealth, which is creativity and imagination, and they are brave enough to try. In those days, gasoline-powered vehicles occasionally appeared on the roads, which always attracted crowds to watch. Most importantly, these vehicles and their related stories inspired the creativity of many young people in the early days, including William Harley, 21, and Arthur Davidson, 20.

Home of the car

  William Harley and Arthur Davidson are both Milwaukee natives. Interestingly, they are both neighbors and work in the same metal factory. William Harley is a cartographer, while Arthur Davidson is a model mechanic. As amateurs, the two of them originally wanted to build a motor vehicle that relied on driving. Nevertheless, the difficulties in making such a car at that time are unimaginable now. You can’t go to the store or buy the parts you need through the mail order catalogue. Most of the parts must be designed and manufactured by yourself.

  They are not just dreamers (), but supported by certain knowledge and technical foundation. William Harley once worked for a bicycle manufacturer and knew about the related hardware. Arthur Davidson has experience in engine model manufacturing. After two years of experiments, they made some progress, but they still needed more help, especially the knowledge about machinery, so they found Arthur Davidson’s brother Walter Davidson.

  Walter Davidson is a highly skilled railway mechanic. After studying the design sketch, he decided to stay in Milwaukee to help William Harley and Arthur Davidson complete the engine development. At first, their experiment was carried out in the basement of their home, and the first engine was successfully manufactured and then installed on the bicycle. However, they found that the engine was too small to generate enough power, so they had to redesign it.

  On the door panel of the wooden house, the words "HARLEY-DAVION MOTOR CO" are written, which is the first time that the two surnames of Harley-Davidson have been put together. Perhaps they wouldn’t have thought that this company, which was born in a log cabin, would develop into a legendary enterprise madly loved by car fans all over the world in the near future, and everything in the story really started here.

Home of the car

  After repeated tests, the first mass-produced Harley-Davidson motorcycle was officially born in 1903, named Serial No.1 The equipment of this car is extremely simple. It can be said that it has two wheels and an engine, and the top speed is only 11km/h. The single-cylinder engine has a row and the displacement is 440ml. At present, Serial No.1 is treasured in the exhibition hall of Juneau Street.

  Interestingly, for a long time, people didn’t know that serial number 1 was the first Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Until one day, when the repair members were disassembling some parts, they found that there was a "1" marked by the original mechanic, and the unexpected discovery made everyone excited.

Home of the car

  At the beginning of the company’s establishment, although there were only three founders, William Harley and the Davidson brothers still divided their work. Among them, Walter Davidson was appointed, Arthur Davidson was in charge of sales, and William Harley was the chief engineer. In 1907, William Davidson, one of Davidson’s three brothers, joined the team and served as vice president, forming the earliest entrepreneurial team of Harley Davidson. Regarding the history of Harley-Davidson’s birth, there is a video below, and interested friends can have an addiction.

The Grand Exam and the Courtyard of the County Party Committee, a major theme drama worthy of attention in the second half of the year | Special planning

Grand Exam: Vividly reappearing the story of college entrance examination under the epidemic situation.

 Text/Huang Baixue

In 2020, the sudden COVID-19 epidemic will be a "big test" for countries around the world; As for the 2020 China college entrance examination students who were born in COVID-19, the exam under the special background is a "big exam" with extraordinary significance in their lives.

The TV series "Da Kao" focuses on the college entrance examination under the epidemic situation, taking "one city, two schools and several typical families" as the incision, vividly reproduces the story of the college entrance examination in a special period, and shows the youthful elegance of contemporary China. This drama series is the key project of the theme TV series "Our New Era" of the State Administration of Radio and Television.

The story happened on the eve of the Spring Festival in 2020. The sudden epidemic changed the study and life track of senior three students, and a "big exam" kicked off. Tian Wenwen, a student, is estranged from her parents who work in other places. Xueba Zhou Bowen wants to help his father quit Internet addiction; Wu Jiajun, who dreamed of an art test, was opposed by his mother; Gao Mingyu, a poor student, lacks the conditions for online classes, and travels several kilometers down the mountain to attend classes every day … The epidemic has finally been controlled, students have resumed classes and are actively preparing for the college entrance examination, and the contradictions among students, parents and teachers have gradually resolved. Unexpectedly, on the day of the college entrance examination, a flood stopped the college entrance examination in the county again, and the relevant departments started the college entrance examination subtitle in time. With the joint efforts of all sectors of society and the local education system, all candidates completed the college entrance examination as scheduled. In this "big test" to fight the COVID-19 epidemic, they handed over excellent answers.

As "the first test in China", film and television works with the theme of college entrance examination are common. The special feature of "The Great Examination" is that it tells the normal and important event of "College Entrance Examination" in the abnormal background of "epidemic situation". As Wang Xiaohui, chief content officer of iQiyi, said, how to make the plot unconventional; How to skillfully structure the relationship among teachers, families and students; How to express the pressure of students’ college entrance examination, and at the same time, show the help of all sectors of society in the face of the epidemic, these are the difficulties that the creative team is constantly trying to solve.

In order to shoot this drama well, the producer Aiqiyi assembled a strong creative team: directed by Shen Yan (My First Half Life and Chinese Relationship), who won the Magnolia Award for Best Director, and Shen Jie (Feather Flying to the Sky and White Deer Plain), who won the Flying Award for Excellent Screenplay, served as artistic director, and Feng Weiwei, vice president of Aiqiyi Company, served as producer. In terms of actors, Guo Jingfei, Hu Xianxu, Li Gengxi, Lawrence Wang and others co-starred, and Chen Baoguo and Wang Qianyuan joined in.

In March 2022, the play was filmed in Shexian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, and was finished on June 16.

County Committee Courtyard: Grounding Gas, Moving the True Feelings, Showing the Picture of Grassroots Governance

 Text/Zhong Qian

Produced by Noon Sunshine, Hou Hongliang is the producer, Kong Sheng is the director, and Wang Xiaoqian is the screenwriter. The County Courtyard starring Hugh, wuyue, Huang Lei and Li Guangjie is in hot shooting. The drama focuses on the grassroots cadres of the county party Committee, and tells the story that Guangming County has taken on a new look with the unremitting efforts of generations of grassroots county party Committee cadres and local people. The drama series reflects the new actions of the continuous improvement of social governance system and the continuous improvement of grassroots governance capacity in China since the 18th CPC National Congress. The play will participate in the creation, exhibition and broadcasting of the theme works of "Our New Era" by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

On the eve of the 19th National Congress, Mei Xiaoge (Hugh) took office as the county magistrate of Guangming County, and became colleagues with the county party secretary Lv Qingshan (Huang Lei) and deputy secretary Ai Xianzhi (wuyue). At this time, they are facing Guangming County, which is in urgent need of getting out of the predicament and seeking development. Mei Xiaoge has a high emotional intelligence and a good affinity. After taking office, she traveled to hundreds of villages in Guangming County without stopping. After being elected secretary of the county party committee, Mei Xiaoge led cadres to improve their work style, adhere to the concept of green development, and protect people’s livelihood on the basis of protecting the environment … With the efforts of the county party committee, Guangming County finally realized its ideal of managing the county by getting rid of poverty and getting rich and developing healthily.

Only by going deep into life, reality and the masses can we make the characters more vivid and tell the story more deeply. However, the creative difficulty of "Courtyard of County Committee" is to extract life stories in more than 1,300 counties in China. Therefore, under the coordination arrangement of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the creative team adopted the most direct "grass-roots" approach. Screenwriter Wang Xiaoqiang and co-director Mao Mao went to Dayu County, Jiangxi Province, and Hengyang County, Hunan Province, respectively, for several months and accumulated rich materials.

Wang Xiaoqiang’s post-employment experience lasted nearly five months, during which he was deeply involved in the work and life of grassroots cadres. No matter during working hours or rest days, he worked with grassroots cadres during the day, chatted in the evening, and went back to sort out records and take work notes at night. Wang Xiaoqiang introduced that there are hundreds of people who have a surname and a beginning and an end in the script of "County Courtyard", which is also the one with the most roles in his script. "This creation has brought me great gains. A good script is stepped out with your feet."

In order to present a sense of the times, the crew visited Hunan, Hubei, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi and other places, visited 50 county-level governments, and determined the final landscape plan. The office, conference room, boiling water room, bathroom, and even desktop ornaments, steel window design, exterior building landscape, slogans and banners are all close to the reality.   

Hou Hongliang said that he was deeply touched by the creation of "Courtyard of the County Party Committee", and the content of the drama and the spirit presented by the characters also affected the working state of the crew-the cast members were particularly United, with a sense of belief and responsibility, and kept striving for perfection, just like Mei Xiaoge and his colleagues in the drama, "working hard in one place".

According to the plan, "County Courtyard" will be finished at the end of July.

The future of Iranian oil tanker is uncertain, and the United States threatens to sanction "helper"

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 21st (a global hotspot) The future of Iranian oil tankers is uncertain, and the United States threatens to sanction "helpers".

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  On the 20th, US Secretary of State Pompeo warned that any party that assists or allows the Iranian oil tanker that has been released by British overseas territory Gibraltar to dock may face US sanctions.

  Some analysts believe that the tit-for-tat game between the United States and Iran will continue, but the United States may not want to trigger a direct conflict with Iran on the tanker. In addition, there are differences between Europe and the United States and within Europe on the Iran issue, especially on the formation of the so-called "escort alliance".

  News fact

  Pompeo told the media on the 20th that the Iranian oil tanker will go to Syria to exchange crude oil for funds to support the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has been listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, and the United States will take all measures to stop it.

  The original name of this oil tanker is Grace I, which used to fly the Panamanian flag, but now it has changed to fly the Iranian flag and changed its name to Adrian Daria I..

  According to the data of Luft Company on 18th, the tanker carrying about 2 million barrels of crude oil is heading for the southern Greek port of Calamata.

  Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif pointed out during his visit to Finland on the 19th that there was no legal basis for the United States to demand the seizure of Iranian oil tankers, but it was politically motivated to "escalate the situation". Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mousavi said on the same day that Iran has issued necessary warnings to the US through official channels, and the wrong decision of the US will lead to "serious consequences".

  According to a report by Iran’s Tasneem News Agency on the 20th, a person in charge of Iran’s road traffic department said that the British oil tanker "Steiner Empire" was previously detained by the Iraqi side on suspicion of violating international maritime laws and regulations, and the relevant judicial procedures in this case are currently being processed, which has nothing to do with the detention of the Iranian oil tanker.

  [Depth analysis]

  Liu Zhongmin, a professor at the Middle East Institute of Shanghai International Studies University, said that in order to catch up with the change of government, Britain is facing many problems at this stage, including "Brexit", hoping to avoid excessive distraction on the Middle East issue, and may choose to compromise and reach some kind of agreement with Iran. Europe’s desire to retain the Iranian nuclear deal is real, and its ability to change the status quo is limited. I am afraid that the complicated triangular relationship between Europe, the United States and Iran will continue for a certain period of time.

  He said that in addition to military strikes, the United States has used political, diplomatic, economic and other means to exert extreme pressure on Iran, as well as a certain degree of military deterrence. Iran still shows no signs of being unable to persist, and there are fewer and fewer policy means available to the United States in the next stage. Although the United States does not want a war with Iran at present, accidental factors, third-party factors and regional forces available to Iran will increase the risk of conflict.

  Bi Jian, a researcher at the Institute of World History of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that in the next stage, it is unlikely that the United States will use its own military force to forcibly detain Iranian oil tankers. Because it triggers a direct conflict with Iran, it is not conducive to the re-election of US President Trump. Iran still wants to retain the Iranian nuclear deal as much as possible, and will continue the strategy of diplomacy first and resist the extreme pressure of the United States by asymmetric means; At the same time, taking advantage of its own geographical advantages, especially its local military advantages, it conducts military dealings with the United States in the Gulf, "wiping the gun without going off." Therefore, at least until the dust settles in the next US presidential election, the two sides will not let the US-Iran relationship slide out of control.

  He said that the United States wants to form a so-called "escort alliance", mainly to seek a tool for political queuing and comprehensive blockade of Iran. Joining means supporting the United States’ comprehensive blockade and extreme pressure on Iran, and at the same time putting itself in a dangerous whirlpool. Therefore, big countries will not easily participate, and even if small countries participate, they will only show political gestures.

  [instant comment]

  For a month and a half, the settlement of the "ship arrest storm" has been delayed. At present, Britain and Iran finally have a breathing space of "stop loss" and "unwinding".

  The request for "long-arm jurisdiction" from the United States was rejected by its allies, and the "escort alliance" from the United States was few in Europe, which once again confirmed two points: First, in the face of the Iranian issue, the United States and the European Union are really not on the same boat; Second, when the core interests of the country conflict with the "priority of the United States", even close allies are "really difficult to accompany" the United States.

  [Background link]

  On July 4th, the British overseas territory Gibraltar authorities, with the assistance of the British navy, seized the "Grace I" oil tanker loaded with Iranian crude oil, claiming that it was transporting crude oil to Syria in violation of EU sanctions. The Iranian side denied this accusation and demanded the immediate release of the detained tanker.

  On July 19th, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards detained the British oil tanker "Steiner Empire" on suspicion of violating international maritime laws.

  On August 15th, Grace I was released by the Gibraltar authorities. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a subpoena on the 16th, seeking to continue to detain Grace I, but it was rejected by the Gibraltar authorities.

With the rise of the national tide, under the empowerment of the Internet, antiques and cultural relics have not only successfully "broken the circle" through the channel of e-commerce, but also moved from the attention of a few people to the public’s field of vision, and even developed into the next e-commerce category under the wave of live broadcast, creating a literary and entertainment e-commerce "unicorn" with annual sales of 43 billion yuan-micropattern.

Recently, CCTV financial reporters conducted an investigation on the micro-pat hall, and found that buyers often photographed celebrity calligraphy and paintings and even wenwan jewelry at very low prices, and these collections were equipped with appraisal certificates issued by appraisal institutions. The survey found that the goods photographed by consumers at the "missing price" were different from the introduction after identification, which made it difficult for consumers to defend their rights. Although the payment has been refunded, the appraisal fee has to be borne by the consumers themselves. Even, some merchants refused to accept the fake, and the platform said that there was nothing they could do.

In addition to media exposure, the online consumer dispute mediation platform "Dianv Bao" has also received many cases in which users suspect that counterfeit goods choose to return and fall into the dilemma of rights protection, mainly involving platforms such as micro-pat hall, playing with things, and daily treasure. Among them, selling fake goods, defective goods, wrong goods, difficult refund, delayed delivery, unreasonable deduction of store deposits and after-sales problems have become hot complaints.

Chaos 1

Commodity appraisal is "in name only", and it is difficult to guarantee 100% authenticity.

According to CCTV’s financial report, the reporter photographed 380 yuan’s bloodstone seal, 228 yuan Tian Huangshi inkstone and 192 yuan Tian Huangshi ornaments in a shop called "Wu Nian Ming Xuan". However, after testing by Beijing Peking University Gemological Appraisal Center, the article with the nominal bloodstone is actually chlorite imitating bloodstone, the inkstone with the nominal Tian Huangshi is actually dyed chlorite, and the ornaments with the nominal Tian Huangshi are actually dyed talc.

On October 6, 2020, Mr. Pan bought the third set of RMB in the "Micro-Pat Hall" of Hangzhou Micro-Pat Hall Cultural and Creative Co., Ltd., which has been identified as all counterfeit, amounting to 1380 yuan. The store is fraudulent, and the platform is only willing to refund without making any compensation.

In this regard, Meng Huixin, an analyst at the Legal Rights Department of the Network Economic and Social E-Commerce Research Center, said that at present, the supervision based on wenwan e-commerce is relatively loose, and the platform review system is not perfect, so there are frequent incidents of selling fakes, selling fakes and shoddy. Especially for wenwan items, although the platform provides testing and identification services, there are still inaccurate results that cause consumers to receive fake and inferior commodities, which makes it difficult to protect their rights.

Chaos 2

The goods are not in the right slot, and the user is caught in the "refund difficulty"

On December 12, 2019, Mr. Xun of Jilin Province purchased the brave hand-made pieces through the merchant of "Professional Hetian Jade Finished Product Management" on the platform of "playing with things". The merchant promised that the goods were the only seeds of Hetian jade in Xinjiang, which were the works of Zhang Baoguo, a national jade carving master, and supported the national re-inspection. After receiving the goods, Mr. Xun felt that the goods did not match the description of the merchants. After the goods were sent for identification, they were proved to be non-Hetian jade in Xinjiang.

"The goods delivered by merchants do not match the description, which is actually a common phenomenon of’ goods are not right’ in online shopping." In this regard, Meng Huixin mentioned that if consumers purchase the goods clearly described by the merchants and complete the payment, then the merchants should complete the delivery according to the agreement of both parties. If the goods delivered by the merchants are inconsistent with the actual situation, or even other problems occur, they should give consumers the after-sales service they deserve, instead of making consumers fall into the dilemma of "difficult rights protection".

Meng Huixin further analyzed that in view of the difficulty in returning goods, many e-commerce platforms have formulated rules to limit consumers’ returns, such as refusing to return goods for 7 days without reason, deducting handling fees, service fees and appraisal fees, so as to reduce the costs and risks that the platform should bear as an operator. Some merchants even delay the return time of goods by refusing to return parcels, and give consumers a refund, which is unreasonable for consumers.

Chaos 3

The platform privately deducts the seller’s deposit.

Mr. Pei of Shanxi Province auctioned porcelain antiques live on the micro-auction hall trading platform, and a blue-and-white porcelain powder box of Kangxi period in Qing Dynasty returned from abroad was photographed by customers. On October 3, 2020, after receiving the goods, the buyer thought it was an imitation, applied to the platform for "refund only, no return", and then asked to identify the goods, which immediately received a positive response from the micro-pat hall.

On October 22nd, the micro-pat hall sent Mr. Pei the final appraisal and handling results: selling counterfeit imitations, closing the store for 14 days, and imposing a fine of 3,000 yuan, as well as the appraisal fee of 150 yuan and the inspection fee of 25 yuan; And told the buyer that the blue-and-white porcelain with a transaction price of 1552 yuan "does not need to be returned". Mr. Pei complained that the so-called "Jian Zhen Pavilion" of the micro-pat hall platform did not have the qualification to identify ceramic porcelain or did not have this business. After fooling and deceiving the seller in such a perfunctory way, the platform was fined several thousand yuan, the buyer got an antique for nothing, and the seller lost both money and goods.

Suggestion > > >

Standardization is the "foothold" of wenwan e-commerce

Meng Huixin said that in the era when everything can be e-commerce, the "stall economy" that used to exist in the antique market has also become a "cloud tour" literary play, but the inherent ills such as fishy eyes and fake goods still exist.

Since wenwan e-commerce is mostly carried out in three links: "live broadcast+auction+appraisal", it is easy for merchants to "fish in troubled waters" to raise prices, so that consumers who sincerely buy them mistakenly think that they are "missing", but in fact they have already secretly marked the price.

At the same time, counterfeit goods have also given birth to the demand for identification. The identification itself is to distinguish between true and false, but the opposite result has appeared, indicating that the platform is incomplete and irregular in terms of identification standards and appraisers’ qualifications. Therefore, it can be said that standardization is the "foothold" of wenwan e-commerce. "Fake the truth" is still the pain point of the whole wenwan e-commerce. Driven by huge profits, many fake and shoddy goods are mixed in it. Then, for the platform, it needs to spend more cost and technology to realize it, standardize the platform merchants and ensure that the interests of consumers are not infringed.

International observation | The "reconciliation tide" in the Middle East brings new opportunities for solving the Syrian issue.

  Xinhua News Agency, Damascus, May 4 (Reporter Wang Jian) The Syrian issue has recently ushered in positive changes. The diplomatic interaction between the Syrian government and several major countries in the Middle East has increased, and their mutual relations have tended to ease. On May 1, the foreign ministers of Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Egypt held talks in Amman, Jordan, to discuss a political solution to the Syrian issue. According to reports, the foreign ministers also discussed measures to normalize relations between Arab countries and Syria.

  Analysts pointed out that the warming of relations between Syria and Arab countries is not only due to their respective needs, but also due to the changes in the overall environment in the Middle East.Saudi Arabia and Iran, the Middle East powers, resumed diplomatic relations under the mediation of China, which set off a "wave of reconciliation" in the region. China’s Middle East policy and China’s concept have been widely recognized by regional countries.

  Relations between Syria and the Arab world are getting warmer.

  After the Syrian crisis broke out in 2011, the Arab League suspended Syria’s membership, Saudi Arabia and many other Arab countries closed their embassies in Syria, and Syria’s diplomacy entered a relatively isolated state. With the evolution of the domestic and regional situation in Syria in recent years, the relationship between the Syrian government and the Arab world has gradually thawed. Many Arab countries have called on the Arab League to restore Syria’s membership, and many countries have reopened their embassies in Syria or border ports bordering Syria.

  Last March, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad visited the United Arab Emirates, which was his first visit to an Arab country since the outbreak of the Syrian crisis. Since the beginning of this year, the interaction between Syria and Arab countries has become more frequent. After a strong earthquake struck the border areas of Syria and Turkey in early February, several Arab countries quickly launched humanitarian assistance to Syria. Recently, Bashar has visited Oman and the United Arab Emirates successively, and foreign ministers of Syria, Saudi Arabia and Egypt have also exchanged visits.

  On April 14th, the foreign ministers of the six members of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf and Egypt, Iraq and Jordan met in Jeddah, a port city in western Saudi Arabia, calling on Syria to achieve internal unity and return to the "Arab embrace" as soon as possible. Half a month later, foreign ministers of Syria and four other Arab countries will meet in Amman.

  Analysts believe that Arab countries and Syria have their own interests to consider in improving relations. Syrian political expert Husam Chouaib said,The Syrian government urgently needs to improve the economy and promote national reconstruction. In the face of Western sanctions, strengthening regional economic cooperation has become one of the options..At the same time, strengthening interaction with Arab countries can further gain political support and get rid of diplomatic difficulties that have lasted for many years..

  Syrian political analyst imad Salim pointed out that the Syrian government has taken the initiative in the domestic battlefield, and other Arab countries need to adjust their policies according to the reality. At the same time, for Lebanon, Jordan and other Arab countries with close geographical relations with Syria, cooperation with Syria will help improve their economies.

  Syria’s return to the Arab League ushers in new opportunities

  In addition to their respective interests and demands, changes in the regional situation have also brought opportunities for Syria to improve relations with Arab countries, the most important of which is the resumption of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Assistant Foreign Minister Ayman Susan of Syria pointed out in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that,Saudi Arabia and Iran are two active countries in the Middle East, and the improvement of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran will be reflected in most issues in the region, including the Syrian issue.

  At the beginning of the Syrian crisis, Saudi Arabia was once considered as one of the main supporters of the Syrian opposition armed forces, so the "breaking the ice" between Saudi Arabia and Syria is particularly critical. On April 12th, Syrian Foreign Minister Mekdad visited Saudi Arabia and met with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal. On April 18th, Faisal visited Syria. During the meeting between Bashar and Faisal, both sides expressed positive views on the normalization of future relations.

  Maher ihsan, a Syrian political analyst, believes that Saudi Arabia, as one of the major Arab countries, will make a formal turn in its relations with Syria, which will push other Arab countries to evaluate their policies, reduce their worries and temptations on improving relations with Syria, and further promote the normalization of relations with Syria, thus making Syria’s return to the Arab League promising.

  According to reports, Saudi Arabia plans to invite Bashar to attend the Arab League summit hosted by Saudi Arabia in May. Ahmed ali abul gheit, Secretary-General of the Arab League, previously revealed that,Most members of the Arab League hope to confirm the restoration of Syria’s membership at the summit.

  Vivid practice of global security initiative

  The Middle East is one of the most complex geopolitical regions in the world. All along, China has always supported the people in the Middle East to explore the development path independently, and supported the countries in the Middle East to unite and cooperate to solve regional security problems. Middle East countries and the international community generally appreciate China’s success in promoting the resumption of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran.That "this fully demonstrates China’s important position and positive influence as a global power" is "a vivid practice of global security initiatives".

  Susan said,China respects international law and national sovereignty, opposes hegemonism and hopes that all countries will share security and prosperity.China’s mediation to promote the resumption of diplomatic relations between Shay is to achieve regional peace and stability.

  Analysts believe that China’s successful mediation promoted the reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Syria, and then Saudi Arabia and Syria achieved "breaking the ice", indicating that China’s international role in persuading peace and promoting talks is highly recognized by all parties.

Beautiful scenery attracts visitors to green water and green hills. Ecological vision becomes a beautiful life.

  CCTV News:The whole territory of Ningxia belongs to the Yellow River Basin, where it was born and prospered because of the Yellow River, and has the reputation of "being on the south of the Yangtze River". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Ningxia has implemented the strategy of ecological priority, with the fundamental task of protecting the healthy An Lan of the Yellow River, and has continued to fight the tough battle of "zigzag bend" of the Yellow River. The water quality of Ningxia section of the main stream of the Yellow River has remained stable at Grade II for seven consecutive years.      

  In recent years, Ningxia has promoted the ecological protection and restoration of forests, grasslands, wetlands and deserts and the comprehensive management of saline-alkali land, and continued to promote the protection and restoration projects of Helan Mountain, Liupanshan Mountain and Luoshan Mountain. In 2023, 50,000 mu of mine geological environment restoration and comprehensive land improvement were completed, 1.25 million mu of forest was built, 900,000 mu of desertification land was controlled, and 282,000 mu of degraded grassland was controlled, and 10 mine restoration projects were implemented. At present, there are 3.1 million mu of wetlands in Ningxia, including 1.47 million mu of river wetlands, with the forest coverage rate of 11.35% and grassland comprehensive vegetation coverage rate of 56.8%.

  Nowadays, "being in the south of the Yangtze River" is becoming more and more beautiful, and the ecological vision of green water and green mountains has gradually become a beautiful life within reach.

  Green development, beautiful scenery and beautiful ecology attract visitors.

  Libo County, Guizhou Province has two world-class business cards, namely "Karst in South China" and "World Man and Biosphere Reserve", and is known as "Emerald of the Earth". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Libo has vigorously implemented artificial afforestation, forest tending, transformation of inefficient forests, rocky desertification control and other projects in and around the heritage site. At the same time, master plans have been made for the protection of the heritage sites in Zhangjiang Scenic Area and Maolan National Nature Reserve. During this time, Libo, Guizhou entered the tourist season.

  During the tourist season, Seven Small Arches Scenic Area receives more than 35,000 tourists every day.

  Seven Small Arches Scenic Area is surrounded by mountains. This seven-hole ancient bridge across Xiangshui River was built in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty. Walking on the ancient bridge, in the mountains and rivers, it seems to condense time and years.

  It is understood that the forest coverage rate of Seven Small Arches Scenic Area has reached 92%. The water here is deep or shallow blue-green, because it contains a lot of calcium and magnesium ions.

  Through the perspective of underwater drones, you can see groups of fish swimming in the water. In recent years, several new fish species have been discovered in Seven Small Arches. Surrounded by the jungle, the seven-hole ancient bridge is clearly reflected on the water, and the landscape bridge is integrated, which seems to silently tell the story of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

  During this time, Libo, Guizhou entered the tourist season. Only Seven Small Arches Scenic Area receives more than 35,000 tourists every day on average, and the scenic area adopts the way of full-scale online real-name reservation to divert and limit the flow to increase the experience of tourists.

  Delineating ecological red line, zoning and hierarchical management

  The beauty here is closely related to people’s protection, in addition to the giving of nature. The area within the red line of ecological protection in Libo is over 1205 square kilometers, accounting for 49.91% of Libo’s land area.

  People protect the ecological environment like eyes and treat it like life. According to the nature of the reserve, the local area is divided, protected and controlled at different levels. The Maolan National Nature Reserve is divided into core area, buffer area and experimental area. Seven Small Arches Scenic Area belongs to Zhangjiang Scenic Area, which is divided into four levels of protected areas for protection.

  Grid management of tourism to increase people’s income

  In recent years, Seven Small Arches Scenic Area is exploring the transformation of ecological advantages into economic advantages. How to realize environmental protection while vigorously developing tourism? At present, the whole scenic spot has been managed by grid, with a total of more than 100 grids. In addition to the sanitation and cleaning in the area, the grid workers are also responsible for guiding and reminding tourists.

  Wolongtan is one of the grids. The grid worker here is a Yao people. His family used to be a poor household and became a grid worker through tourism. While cleaning up the lake area, he also performed folk dances for tourists to interact and become a landscape in people’s eyes. In Libo County, more than 10,000 people have lived a well-off life by getting rid of poverty and increasing their income through tourism.

  Develop in protection and protect in development.

  Development in protection and protection in development are also reflected in every detail. In the water forest of Yuanyang Lake, the ancient trees in the water are surrounded by small wooden sticks to prevent the cruise ship from hitting the ancient trees. Small sticks on the periphery of ancient trees are equivalent to "protective clothes" for them. In addition, the scenic spot is also in the section where ancient trees are concentrated, and a clearance area that can only be visited on foot is drawn.

  Now, standing at a new starting point, the local authorities focus on three elements: resources, customers and services to improve the management level, enrich the tourism format, strive to build a world-class tourist attraction, and let the beautiful landscape enter more people’s horizons.
