　　This plan shall come into force as of the date of promulgation.

　　As early as many years ago, in order to make up for the shortcomings of Toyota’s high-end brand Lexus in compact models, CT200h was introduced to enhance its overall competitiveness. However, according to the sales data, from the launch of the CT200h to the first quarter of this year, the global cumulative sales volume is only about 267,000 vehicles. In this big market of China, the sales volume of the CT200h accounts for less than 10% of the total sales volume of Lexus. It can be seen that this entry-level car, which has been launched for nearly six years, has not brought surprises to Lexus.

　　▲ The sales volume is not satisfactory, and the production of CT200h is discontinued.

　　Perhaps the sales volume is not satisfactory. According to reliable sources, the CT200h will face production suspension, and Alain Uyrrenhoven, president of Lexus Europe, revealed that "the CT200h will be replaced by a hybrid small SUV". Of course, if we study why the CT200h stopped production according to the meaning of Lexus, we may only think that the SUV market is overheated and the cars are not popular, but is this really the case?

　　As we all know, compared with British finidi and Acura, Lexus, as a member of Japanese luxury Three Musketeers, has performed strongly in the market with its excellent quality and good service. Therefore, when the compact car CT200h, which started at more than 200,000 yuan, was launched, many people began to worry that it would more or less destroy the long-standing good image of Lexus.

　　▲ Hidden quality hazards affect the brand image, or become the main reason for the shutdown of CT200h.

　　Because it is a hybrid of oil and electricity, CT200h is excellent in fuel economy, and its bold design also shows the charm of Lexus. However, in details, CT200h really proves the truth of "a penny gets a share". First of all, in terms of materials, CT200h’s materials are very general, the suspension is hard and the comfort is average.

　　A criticism that is particularly worth mentioning is the sound insulation effect of CT200h h. It has been reported by the media that when the speed reaches above 80km/h, the noise inside the CT200h is as high as 79dB(70-90 dB is noisy and nerve cells are destroyed), which has seriously interfered with the driver’s driving and the safety hazard is very obvious.

　　In addition, a friend of Xiaobian’s car owner said that the CT200h he was driving had many problems, especially the abnormal brake noise. When Xiaobian searched online for the abnormal brake noise of CT200h, there was almost a buzz on the Internet. What’s more, some car owners couldn’t wait to show the abnormal brake noise in less than three or four days, which was really a headache.

　　Therefore, Xiao Bian guessed that the CT200h had the idea of stopping production because of its poor sound insulation effect and abnormal sound, which was not conducive to the establishment of a good brand image.

　　▲ frequent and numerous recalls, but ineffective and negative?

　　Originally, I wanted to fill the gap in the compact car market. Clinker CT200h, an entry-level model, did not give force, did not bring surprises to Lexus, and more or less brought some panic. So, is it the best choice to stop production of CT200h to reverse Gankun and re-establish the brand image?

　　In fact, in view of the defects of vehicles, car companies will start a recall plan to improve the problems of vehicles. Although Lexus has not implemented a recall for abnormal noise, Lexus has started a recall plan before because of the hidden dangers of fuel leakage and airbags, involving 37,423 vehicles, including CT200h.

　　The number of recalls is amazing, but this is not the problem of this recall. Xiaobian asked the owner’s friend. When he told him that his CT200h was going to be recalled for inspection and maintenance, he said he didn’t know. When he called the local 4S shop, the staff of the 4S shop admitted that his vehicle needed to be recalled. In other words, even if Lexus started the recall plan, it did not take the initiative to contact the owner for inspection and maintenance, but the owner reflected that the 4S shop admitted it. Does such a poor and negative service attitude really come from Lexus?

　　Coincidentally, another incident deserves our attention. A car owner once made a complaint on the car complaint network. He said that his newly bought 2014 lexus ES300 had just driven for 200 kilometers when the ABS fault light called the police, and the brake pedal didn’t respond at all. He was asked to replace the ABS controller assembly after going to the 4S shop for inspection.

　　The description of this problem coincides with the reason stated in Lexus’ recall regulations in April this year. The recall was as follows: due to the manufacturing reasons of a specific supplier, the oil pressure required for braking anti-lock braking system (ABS) and body stability control system (VSC) may not be provided normally, which may affect the driving stability of the vehicle and have potential safety hazards, and a total of 15,322 lexus ES200, ES250 and RX200t vehicles were recalled.

　　Putting the owner’s complaint together with the Lexus recall, we found that the owner’s ES300 also had the problems mentioned in the recall, but the ES300 was not within the scope of the recall!

　　Summary:Now, due to various quality problems, the CT200h is already in water under the bridge, and it has to stop production on the pretext of "good SUV market prospects". Apart from the tragic product CT200h, the frequent recalls of Lexus this year and the large number of them are really unsightly, but the negative and ineffective behaviors such as not notifying the owners in time and incomplete recalls are the facts that it is difficult to cover up when CT200h stops production.

This year, all Tibetan counties in our province will be stripped of their hats, and there will be four counties in Liangshan Prefecture, including Leibo, Ganluo, Yanyuan and Muli. Deep poverty-stricken areas such as Tibetan areas and Yi areas will be the focus of assessment and evaluation of poverty alleviation. The picture shows Moshi Village, Paha Township, Leibo County. A beautiful picture of a new village and a new village is slowly unfolding. The villagers have lived in safe housing and are working hard to get rid of poverty.

interpret

Recently, in 2019, a video conference on poverty exit acceptance and assessment was held in Chengdu, and arrangements were made for the deployment of poverty alleviation assessment and dynamic management of poverty alleviation targets in our province this year.

At the meeting, the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, the director of the provincial poverty alleviation office and the director of the provincial poverty alleviation and development bureau stressed at the beginning that the rest of this year and next are hard bones, and the poverty level is deeper and it is more difficult to get rid of poverty, especially in 2019. It is also the highest peak of poverty-stricken counties, and the difficulty, density and intensity of work are unprecedented.

In this context, doing a good job in the assessment of poverty alleviation this year and improving the management of poverty alleviation targets will lay a solid foundation for our province to finally win the battle against poverty in an all-round way.

Look at the changes

Focusing on deep poverty areas and the quality of poverty alleviation, different "candidates" and "test sites" are different.

If the assessment is compared to an exam, what are the "test sites"?

The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Poverty Alleviation and Development Bureau introduced that it mainly focuses on "two guarantees and three guarantees", focusing on deep poverty-stricken areas, focusing on the quality of poverty alleviation, and focusing on "four non-picks".

The person in charge said that the above work not only pays attention to key areas, such as deep poverty areas, but also emphasizes key tasks, that is, implementing the "two guarantees and three guarantees", while paying attention to groups that have been lifted out of poverty and giving full consideration to all aspects of poverty alleviation.

According to different "candidates", the focus of the exam is also different.

Although the detailed assessment plan has not yet been released, according to the assessment work arrangements in previous years, there are roughly the following aspects.

For counties with lighter poverty alleviation tasks, focus on assessing the assistance of the remaining poor, improving the long-term poverty alleviation mechanism and consolidating and improving the results of poverty alleviation; Counties that have taken off their hats should also assess the implementation of the "four don’t take off" (taking off their hats without responsibility, taking off their hats without assistance, taking off their hats without policy, and taking off their hats without supervision).

Counties with heavy poverty alleviation tasks will focus on assessing the completion of poverty alleviation tasks and the implementation of poverty alleviation responsibilities, policy implementation and work implementation; In counties that have not taken off their hats, it is also necessary to focus on assessing the progress of poverty reduction, the quality of poverty alleviation and the completion of the bottom line tasks.

From June to September this year, our province carried out the "two worries and three guarantees" to look back at the big investigation work, and required full coverage of all poor households who set up files. It was the first province in China to carry out the "two worries and three guarantees" full coverage investigation.

Paying attention to the rectification of major investigation problems and data quality is also the focus of this year’s assessment and evaluation work. At the beginning of the reduction, it is necessary to assess whether the major investigation is strictly based on the facts to find problems and whether it is a benchmark for rectification.

Seeking precision

Do a good job in dynamic management of poverty alleviation objects to ensure the authenticity of data.

Precision is the key to getting rid of poverty. At present, it is approaching the final stage of poverty alleviation, and the dynamic management of poverty alleviation targets, striving for precision and precision, is the focus of the next stage of our province.

"The dynamic adjustment and labeling of poverty alleviation targets mainly completes poverty alleviation of poor households, withdrawal of poor villages, natural increase and natural decrease of family members of poor households (including poverty-stricken households)." According to the beginning of the year, the collection, updating and entry of information on poverty alleviation targets are mainly the collection and entry of basic information of family members of newly-added poor households, the updating of basic information of poor households (including poverty-stricken households) and poverty-stricken villages (including exit villages), and the verification, collection and entry of information on poverty-stricken households (including poverty-stricken households over the years).

It is necessary not only to adjust in time, but also to ensure accuracy. Data quality is the lifeline of establishing a card, which not only affects the analysis, judgment and macro-decision of the situation of poverty alleviation, but also affects the quality of poverty alleviation.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Provincial Bureau of Poverty Alleviation and Development, next year, the state will organize a census of all poverty-stricken counties, and the basic basis of the census is to file data, so it is extremely urgent to completely solve the data quality problem.

The meeting proposed that problems such as inaccuracy and inaccuracy found in major investigations should be actively rectified and revised in the national system; Print the basic information of poor households and the comparison table of assistance measures through the information system, carry out information collection at home, and verify and approve the data of the filing card; If it needs to be revised after verification and approval, it should be improved in the information system.

"The directors of poverty alleviation offices in cities, counties and cities should take the verification and approval (dynamic adjustment) of poverty alleviation data as the’ first priority’ in their daily work." At the beginning of the year, it was emphasized that when talking about the problems existing in poverty alleviation, we should use the results of "big investigation" in a unified way and resolutely put an end to the phenomenon of "one set of data for one department". "All counties and cities should pay attention to data quality and make the data consistent and logical." (Reporter   Houchong)

microblog comment

The "key year" should be strictly tested.

2019 is a very crucial year. This year’s work has been done, and next year’s poverty alleviation will have a more solid foundation.

How to ensure that this year’s work is in place? Assessment is an important link.

Is the "two guarantees and three guarantees" in place? What is the effect of industrial development? How is the assistance work going? Have poor households, poor villages and poor counties reached the standard of poverty alleviation? Is poverty exit in line with the procedure? This series of question marks need to be straightened in the assessment.

Looking back on the assessment of poverty alleviation in our province in the past two years, the careful work of investigators is impressive. Some investigators go straight to the kitchen after entering the house to see if there is safe drinking water; Some repeatedly check the data in the poverty alleviation manual; If the poor people are not at home, the investigators will try their best to contact each other for telephone verification.

It can be said that the more we get rid of poverty, the more we face "hard bones", and we need to strictly assess and evaluate the work, so as to really "feel the pulse" for getting rid of poverty. Only in this way can we have a bottom in our hearts and ensure that Sichuan and the whole country will build a well-off society in an all-round way at the end of next year. (Luan xiaojing)

With the arrival of the mercantilist period, the expansion process of the west began. Mercantilism theory holds that precious metals are the embodiment of wealth, so seeking gold and silver overseas has become the main policy goal of western European governments. They encouraged their nationals to explore the sea, to explore overseas trade and to rob colonies. Colonies are of special significance to the mercantilist policy. Colonies bring markets as well as commercial profits, gold and silver to the home country.

Portuguese navigators first entered the Atlantic Ocean, and they opened a sea passage from Europe to eastern Asia in a century. In 1415, the Portuguese captured the Arab city of Ceuta in northern Morocco, which marked the beginning of European exploration and control of overseas territories. In the 15th century, most of the gold that arrived in Europe came from West Africa and the Ashanti black community near Ghana today. Muslim merchants brought gold from Africa and then took it north across the Sahara to Mediterranean ports. Portugal intervened in this gold business by force. Under the rule of King Joao II (reigned from 1481 to 1495), the Portuguese established trading ports and border trading posts on the coast of Guinea, and entered the mainland directly to Timbuktu. Portuguese ships arrived in Lisbon loaded with gold and controlled the circulation of gold in Europe by 1500.

Portugal established more than 50 trading ports between Africa and East Asia, and established the earliest commercial port empire. In San Giorgio da Mina, they engaged in the slave trade in West Africa; In Mozambique, they tried to control the gold trade in South Africa; In the Strait of Hormuz, they controlled the entrance to the Persian Gulf; In Goa, they sell Indian pepper; In Malacca, they supervise cargo ships from the South China Sea of China to the Indian Ocean; Through Ternat Island, they also controlled the clove and nutmeg trade in Maluku spice islands. Alfonso de Abuquiki, commander of the 16th century Portuguese Indian Ocean Corps, led the fleet to capture Hormuz in 1508, Goa in 1510 and Malacca in 1511, thus controlling the trade in the Indian Ocean, forcing all merchant ships to buy safety passes before they could dock at Portuguese trading ports. Ships without passes will be confiscated together with the goods. Like Portugal, British and Dutch businessmen also set up commercial ports on the coast of Asia, seeking to establish trade routes through commercial ports, but they have not yet thought of controlling freight on the high seas. In 1565, the Spanish army came to the Philippine Islands and named it after King Philip II of Spain. During 1603-1819, Spanish colonists had six large-scale conflicts with Filipinos and China businessmen in Manila, killing thousands of China businessmen.

The original purpose of European navigation was to find a new route to the East. Columbus, an Italian navigator, loved sailing adventures since he was a child. He read The Travels of Marco Polo and longed for India and China. At that time, the theory of the earth circle was very popular, and Columbus believed it. He successively asked the kings of Portugal, Spain, England, France and other countries for funding to realize his plan of sailing westward to the eastern countries, but all of them were rejected. Finally, he persuaded the Spanish king on the grounds of oriental products such as silk, porcelain, tea and spices, and was able to make it. In 1492, under the orders of Spanish King Isabella and Ferdinand, Columbus took the credentials to Emperor China, led three ships and 87 sailors to sail from Barros Port and crossed the Atlantic Ocean, but ended up in Bahamas, Cuba and Haiti. In the next three voyages, I visited Jamaica, Puerto Rico and the coastal areas of the American continent. He crossed the Atlantic four times and "discovered" America, becoming a famous navigator in history. The Spanish immediately entered these areas for early colonization. They conquered South America, robbed local wealth, slaughtered local residents, and sent a large number of blacks from West Africa to America to engage in slave labor, thus developing America. These activities quickly wiped out the Indians in South America. When Columbus came to Hispaniola in 1493, the population there was nearly 100,000. By 1570, there were only 300 people left.

In 1519, the navigator Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) sailed westward, hoping to find a route to the southeast coast of Asia. Magellan traveled from San Roca to Brazil, passed through the strait between the South American continent and Tierra del Fuego, and crossed the Pacific Ocean, Guam and the Philippines in 1521. He was killed by local residents for interfering with the infighting on the island. After Magellan’s death, the voyage continued. In 1522, the Victoria returned to Spain via the Indian Ocean, the Cape of Good Hope and the Atlantic Ocean, completing the first voyage around the earth in human history. This voyage verified the theory that the earth is spherical and brought back a huge amount of information about the Pacific Ocean.

The above-mentioned exploration activities triggered the competition between Portugal and Spain for overseas colonies. In 1494, Spain and Portugal signed the Tolde-silas Agreement, which demarcated the north-south boundary 370 leagues west of Cape Verde Islands. It was stipulated that Spain’s sphere of influence was to the west and Portugal’s sphere of influence was to the east, which was the first time that western countries divided up the world.

Colonization opened the way for primitive accumulation of capital in Europe. According to statistics, from 1493 to 1600, the Portuguese plundered more than 270,000 kilograms of gold in Africa alone. From 1521 to 1600, Spain plundered more than 200,000 kilograms of gold and 18 million kilograms of silver from America. Most of the capital in western Europe comes from gold and silver in America, which is related to Spain’s overseas colonization and monopoly of trade with the East to some extent. During 1519-1521, Spain conquered Mexico and Peru, began to plunder gold and silver there in 1531, and began to organize mining in America with new technology in 1540. In the trade with the East, the king of Spain levied a 20% trade tax, so Spain gained huge wealth from overseas trade. However, Spain did not keep this wealth. On the contrary, gold and silver flowed into other European countries, which promoted the development of capitalism in other regions.

Later, British and Dutch businessmen also came to Asia to set up commercial ports on the coastline and establish maritime trade lines through these commercial ports. The activities of the colonists promoted commercial development and established a global trading system in a real sense. Before that, the world’s commercial trade was regional, but the expansion of European countries at sea connected the world in the same trading system. The products made in Europe crossed the Atlantic Ocean westward in exchange for silver from Mexico, minerals from Peru and agricultural products such as sucrose and tobacco in the Caribbean. European textiles, guns and other manufactured goods went south to West Africa in exchange for African slaves and then transported them to work in tropical and subtropical plantations in the Western Hemisphere. China’s silk and porcelain are directly transported to Europe, and are warmly welcomed by the courts and upper classes of various countries; Tea and spices were shipped to Europe and America and eventually became mass consumer goods. Through the establishment of the global trading system, "the transformation from history to world history" has begun.

In early modern times, the trade routes in Europe were basically the same as those in the previous two centuries. Northern Italy and Flanders are the most developed cities and industrial centers in Europe, and they are both suppliers of woolen clothes in the European market. Northern Italy is also a producer of silk and other valuable clothing materials, while Flanders produces linen, ribbons and carpets. These two regions also have advanced shipbuilding and metal processing industries. Venice monopolizes the eastern trade through the eastern Mediterranean countries and islands. The goods from the east are mainly spices and other luxury goods, which are sold in Europe by Italian and German businessmen. They can go southwest to France and Spain and northeast to Germany and Baltic countries via the Italy-Flanders axis. The British route on the Italian-Flemish axis is mainly responsible for transporting the semi-finished clothes from Britain to Flanders and brabant for processing.

Gold and silver from America entered the northwest of Europe through Spain, making these places eventually become the most developed economic centers in Europe, including low-lying countries, northwest France and southeast Britain. The "lowlands" used to be the commercial meeting place between Italy and the Hanseatic League, but Spain’s tight financial situation and huge trade deficit made businessmen and bankers in the lowland countries, Italy and Germany become the actual leaders of international trade. The low-lying countries were the bridge between the North and the South in the Middle Ages, so Antwerp became the trade center of Spain, Portugal and Germany. In the 16th century, Antwerp was the largest international financial market in Europe, and every move here affected the whole European economy. The delay of Spanish and Portuguese cargo ships can cause commercial chaos in Antwerp, and even lead to bank failures in augsburg and Ulm. After gaining independence, the Netherlands followed Portugal and Spain and rapidly expanded its overseas trade. It monopolized the spice trade and controlled the eastern routes by crowding out Portugal’s forces in the East through war. In the Atlantic, it can also squeeze into Spain’s sphere of influence and insert a foot in trade. The 17th century became the "century of Holland", and Holland was the "sea coachman" at that time. Britain and France also rapidly expanded overseas after the reunification of the country. They successively established colonies in America, Asia and Africa, and replaced the Netherlands in the second half of the 17th century, becoming the protagonists in the struggle for world commercial hegemony in the next century.

　　 (4) Education level of the population

　　　 On June 30, 1964, among the population of 28 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, there were 2,875,401 people with university education, 9,116,831 people with high school education, 32,346,788 people with junior high school education and 195,824,459 people with primary school education.

　

　　On February 27th, the Pterosaur Ⅱ UAV developed by aviation industry corporation of china Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute successfully made its first flight, which not only has multiple characteristics such as high cost performance, long endurance and multi-purpose, but also is suitable for military, police and civilian fields.

　　All four engines of the large-scale amphibious aircraft AG600 (Jiaolong 600) for fire fighting and water rescue were successfully tested for the first time, which laid a solid foundation for the next first flight. The aircraft was equipped with a communication and navigation system developed by CLP Avionics Co., Ltd.

　　The deep connection and transformation between "people joining the army" and "military conversion to the people" has stimulated the vitality of enterprise development and innovative achievements have emerged continuously. As an important bearing area of national defense science and technology industry, Chengdu has formed a relatively complete industrial cluster in aviation, aerospace, information security, military electronics, nuclear energy and nuclear technology applications, electromechanical equipment and materials, and has strong industrial strength.

　　Based on its own advantages, Chengdu will further implement innovation-driven and integration of defense and civilian technologies, and cultivate and develop the national defense science and technology industry as a high-end growth industry. According to integration of defense and civilian technologies’s industrial development plan, Chengdu will vigorously develop integration of defense and civilian technologies industrial cluster park as the starting point, accelerate the reform and innovation of integration of defense and civilian technologies mechanism system, and open up the innovation channel of integration of defense and civilian technologies; We will focus on building a "1+N" industrial system in integration of defense and civilian technologies, and strive to cultivate 100 billion-level clusters by 2025.

　　Breaking institutional barriers and stimulating endogenous vitality of both military and civilian sides

　　Sichuan Province has been listed as one of the experimental areas to systematically promote comprehensive innovation and reform. To shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the first city in Sichuan, Chengdu must open up an innovation channel for deep integration of military and civilian, and set an example for accumulating experience for comprehensive innovation and reform.

　　In Chengdu Kaitian Electronics Co., Ltd., several young R&D personnel are preparing to start a business by using AVIC’s joint creation platform. The military technology based on Kaitian Electronics’ sensors for decades has set foot in the civil security industry, which is also a transformation growth point of Kaitian Electronics.

　　"The integration of military products and civilian products is very different, and it is necessary to reform the mechanism and system, and even many aspects such as product modeling and design concepts need to be changed." The relevant person in charge of Kaitian Electronics said that introducing strategic investors to form joint-stock companies and accelerating the reform of institutional mechanisms have also become one of the key directions of the company’s future efforts.

　　Breaking the shackles of institutional mechanisms and giving full play to the role of the market can stimulate the endogenous vitality of both the military and the people. "integration of defense and civilian technologies involves many fields, such as industry, science and technology, military affairs and education. It is a complex systematic project. There are different management systems and mechanisms between military and civilian enterprises, and institutional mechanisms and technologies cannot be well integrated." The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Economic and Information Committee also said that to promote the development of integration of defense and civilian technologies, it is necessary to fundamentally solve these problems.

　　Taking accelerating institutional innovation as a breakthrough, Chengdu focuses on key projects, focusing on screening major projects in integration of defense and civilian technologies with large investment, strong driving ability and leading technical level, and strengthening follow-up; Actively implement the strategic agreement with the military industry group and promote the signing of a number of projects; Through the project guidance, actively guide social resources to participate in the reform of mixed ownership of military industry, give full play to the advantages of flexible system and mechanism, rapid decision-making and strong financial strength of private enterprises, and explore the development model of integration of defense and civilian technologies in which civilian enterprises participate in the reorganization and restructuring of military enterprises by means of equity participation, holding and acquisition.

　　In order to accelerate the deep integration of military and civilian and promote the industrial development of integration of defense and civilian technologies, in the second half of last year, the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for the Industrial Development of integration of defense and civilian technologies in Chengdu" and "Several Policies and Measures for Chengdu to Accelerate the Industrial Development of integration of defense and civilian technologies" were successively issued, which clarified the development direction and put forward the goal of building a national integration of defense and civilian technologies Innovation Demonstration Zone, "by the end of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, the income from the main business of integration of defense and civilian technologies’s industry exceeded 150 billion yuan".

　　The support of relevant policies has stimulated the vitality of enterprise development: Sichuan Haite High-tech Co., Ltd. actively participated in the reform of mixed ownership of state-owned enterprises, successfully invested in Chengdu Jiashi Technology, a subsidiary of 29 CLP, and established Haiwei Huaxin Company to enter the field of semiconductor integrated circuit chip manufacturing and build a world-leading compound integrated circuit production line; Sichuan Chuanda Zhisheng Software Co., Ltd. took the shareholding system reform as an opportunity to form a set of mechanism suitable for the industrialization of scientific and technological innovation achievements, featuring the deep integration of Industry-University-Research, and embarked on a new way to transform scientific and technological achievements in colleges and universities into national defense scientific and technological strength; AVIC Chengfei Civil Aircraft not only manufactures the nose for the domestic large aircraft C919, but also actively participates in the development and production of the front and rear boarding gates of Airbus A320 series aircraft …

　　Planning and building characteristic industrial parks to expand the industrial spatial development pattern of integration of defense and civilian technologies.

　　In August last year, a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement between Chengdu and Beihang University was formally signed, involving seven projects with a total contracted amount of 11.4 billion yuan. According to the agreement, Chengdu, Beihang University, xihua university and other universities and research institutions will give full play to their advantages in location, resources, technology and talents, and strive to build an international innovation port in the west of Beihang University with "one body and two wings".

　　Among them, "integration" means that Beihang cooperates with Chengdu Tianfu New District to focus on building an international innovation port in the west of Beihang, including Beihang Innovation Research Institute, Beihang Innovation Science and Technology Park, Beihang Chengdu Graduate School and Beihang Tianfu International Exchange Center; The "two wings" are to build the Chengdu Aeronautical Power Innovation Research Institute of Beihang University (Blue Power Silicon Valley) and the Chengdu Aeroengine Industrial Base of Beihang University.

　　Industrial park is the carrier support of industrial development. All new projects in cooperation with Beihang University will also be located in integration of defense and civilian technologies Industrial Park planned by Chengdu. At present, Chengdu has started and completed the integration of defense and civilian technologies Innovation Industrial Park in Tianfu New District, integration of defense and civilian technologies Aviation Industrial Base in Xindu District, Pengzhou integration of defense and civilian technologies Aviation Power Industrial Park, and the aviation industrial park construction schemes in Shuangliu District, Hi-tech Zone, Qingyang District and Jintang County have also been completed. The construction of six provincial-level integration of defense and civilian technologies industrial bases undertaken by Chengdu, namely, the complete aircraft industrial base, the nuclear power industrial base, the information security industrial base of China Dianke (Chengdu), the "Yinhe 596" industrial base, the Shuangliu industrial base of the Western Institute and the aerospace high-tech industrial park, are all progressing in an orderly manner.

　　According to the plan, Chengdu will focus on the key areas of integration of defense and civilian technologies’s industrial development, such as aviation, information security, military electronics, nuclear energy and nuclear technology application, mechanical and electrical equipment, new materials and other fields, and plan to build a number of industrial parks with integration of defense and civilian technologies characteristics and industrial bases supported by major projects of leading enterprises, initially forming a spatial development pattern with reasonable layout, multi-park support and coordinated promotion.

　　After years of development, the pattern of mutual support and transformation of military and civilian technologies and capabilities in Chengdu has initially appeared, with the main body of military industry becoming more and more lean, the scientific research capability becoming stronger and stronger, and the level constantly improving; While participate extensively in that scientific research and production of weapons and equipment, civilian enterprise have brought the market mechanism into the field of military industry, showing their ability to compete with the existing military industry, and a scientific research and production system characterized by high technology is bee established.　

IT House May 3 news In response to recent questions from netizens about the reading contract and whether it is completely free, the new team of Reading Group also answered related questions through the official WeChat WeChat official account yesterday.

IT House learned that the contract that attracted widespread attention was launched in September 2019, and the new management team of Reading said that they would communicate with the writers and modify the contract accordingly. In response to the rumor that "all reading is free", the reading team said that this statement is "impossible and unrealistic, please don’t believe it".

Respond to the original:

Dear fellow writers:

Hello everyone! We are very concerned about the reading contract that has been discussed and questioned by everyone since April 28 and whether it is completely free. We also explain it to you here:

1. At present, the contract we are discussing is a contract that was launched in September 2019, not a new contract that was launched on April 28, 2020 as rumored by the outside world.

2. As a new management team on April 27th, 2020, we received many criticisms and opinions on this old contract. We attach great importance to it and have begun to re-examine it. We will have extensive communication with writers, and we will make corresponding amendments to unreasonable terms. Please rest assured.

3. From the beginning of the new team, we firmly believe that we must consolidate and maintain the payment model and explore innovative models. It is impossible and unrealistic to say that "all free reading" is carried out in reading articles rumored by the outside world. Please don’t believe it.

4. Wechat reading is one of the partners of reading channels. About the limited-time free operation of WeChat reading for reading copyright content, which everyone is concerned about, it is the improper operation of the channel itself and the management error of our channel work. We have communicated with WeChat Reading and reached a consensus that the operation activity has been offline and will not have any impact on the author’s income.

5. Writers are the foundation of reading platform. Content ecology is not only for reading, but also for everyone. Now everyone’s opinions and criticisms are not overnight, so it is a very important gain to know everyone’s true feelings. On May 3rd, we will announce the arrangement of a series of talks between the new management and writers, hoping to get your outspoken suggestions on the development of reading and discuss the future together.

After fumbling all the way to today, we have made mistakes and detours. We will face the challenge and hope to create a common future with you.

foreword

From 1918 to 1919, Spanish influenza caused about 50 million deaths in the world, and it is still an ominous haze of public health. There are still many unanswered questions about the origin, such as unusual epidemiological characteristics and main pathogenic factors. Although we are now trying to overcome the spread of pandemics such as H5N1 or other viruses, the impact of the 1918 influenza on public health is still uncertain. The information of the 1918 influenza is still being updated, such as sequencing the whole genome from the autopsy in the archives, but the virus genome alone cannot answer the key questions. To understand the 1918 flu and its impact on the future, we need detailed experiments and in-depth historical analysis. Tip: The number of words in the full text is 7279, and it takes an average of 15 minutes to finish reading.

background

During the 1918-1919 flu, about one third of the world’s population (about 500 million people) was infected and developed clinical symptoms. The pandemic is more serious than expected. Compared with the mortality rate of other pandemics (< 0.1%), the mortality rate of influenza in 1918 was > 2.5%. It is estimated that the total death toll is about 50 million, and the pessimistic view is as high as 100 million.

The influence of 1918 influenza was not limited to 1918-1919. Since then, almost all influenza A (except avian influenza virus, such as H5N1 and H7N7) in the world are descendants of 1918 influenza virus, including drifting H1N1, recombinant H2N2 and H3N2. The latter is the integration of the key genes of the 1918 influenza by the later avian influenza, thus expressing new proteins. It can be said that the 1918 flu is the mother of all pandemics.In 1918, it was unclear how human influenza was related to avian influenza and swine flu. Although the clinical and epidemiological characteristics are similar to those of influenza pandemics in 1889, 1847 or even earlier, the high mortality rate makes many people wonder whether it should be called influenza. This problem was not solved until 1930, when the influenza virus (now called H1N1) was isolated from pigs, and later it was also isolated from humans. Seroepidemiological studies soon linked the virus with the 1918 flu. Subsequent research shows that the offspring of 1918 virus has always existed in pigs, and may still appear in humans continuously, experiencing the continuous iteration of antigenic drift, and leading to an annual epidemic outbreak until the 1950s. In 1957, a new H _ H2N2 epidemic (namely "Asian influenza") began to appear, and the H1N1 virus, the offspring of the 1918 virus, completely disappeared from the human circulation, although the related pedigree was still attached to pigs. But in 1977, it suddenly "reappeared" from the laboratory freezer and began to be popular among humans.
In 2006, two natural lineages and two recombinant lineages of the offspring of 1918 virus became popular: human H1N1, swine H1N1 (swine flu), recombinant human H3N2 and recombinant swine H3N2, but none of the offspring was close to the pathogenicity of 1918 virus. Swine strains H1N1 and H3N2 rarely infect humans, while the morbidity/mortality of human strains H1N1 and H3N2 are lower than that of 1918 virus.In fact, the fatality rate of natural H1N1 is even lower than that of H3N2 (prevalent since 1968). The H1N1 and H3N2 viruses originated from the 1918 influenza have been prevalent all over the world for 29 years, and there are almost no signs of extinction.

First, try to understand what happened?

By the early 1990s, 75 years of research had failed to answer the most basic question of the 1918 flu: Why was it so deadly? People didn’t isolate any virus from the 1918 influenza epidemic, but their descendants continued to invade humans slightly. A follow-up survey of influenza epidemic in the 1920s showed that in the years after 1918, influenza epidemic became an annual epidemic with low mortality due to gene drift. Did one genetic event greatly reduce the pathogenicity of the 1918 virus, and then another genetic event turned the 1918 virus into a weaker H1N1 virus?

In 1995, a scientific team determined the autopsy materials of influenza in the autumn of 1918 from the archives, and began a long sequencing experiment on small RNA virus fragments, so as to deduce the whole genome of the 1918 virus. At present, the whole genome of one virus and partial gene sequences of four other viruses have been determined. The above experiments and a series of other articles related to 1918 virus have confirmed that 1918 virus is most likely the ancestor of human/pig H1N1, H3N2 and extinct H2N2. No mutation related to the genome of 1918 virus has been found in other highly pathogenic influenza viruses of human or animals, but the continuous study on virulence factors has produced some interesting results. Nevertheless, the 1918 gene sequence data can not answer the origin and epidemiological characteristics of the virus.

Second,When and where did the 1918 flu begin to spread?

Before and after 1918, most influenza pandemics originated in Asia and spread all over the world.During the 12-month period from 1918 to 1919, the 1918 flu spread more or less simultaneously from three regions: Europe, Asia and North America (the first wave is thought to have started in the United States in March 1918). Historical and epidemiological data are not enough to identify the geographical origin of the virus, and the recent 1918 gene system research can not analyze the geographical origin.

Although there was no national influenza disease reporting system in 1918, and the diagnostic criteria for influenza and pneumonia were not clear, since December 1915, there was an epidemic of respiratory diseases in the United States, and the mortality rate of influenza and pneumonia rose sharply in 1915 and 1916, and then decreased slightly in 1917. The first wave of influenza pandemic appeared in the spring of 1918, and the second wave and the third wave of influenza pandemic with higher mortality rate appeared in the autumn of 1918 and the winter of 1919 respectively, as shown in Figure 1.

Is it possible that the weak-adaptability H1N1 virus had spread in 1915, and although there were some serious diseases, it had not caused a pandemic?At that time, data consistent with this was also reported from European military camps, but the opposite conclusion was given: if the virus strain with new hemagglutinin (HA) affected the mortality rate of influenza and pneumonia in the United States, it should have caused a pandemic long ago, and someone should be immunized or at least partially immunized by 1918. It is difficult to determine that the "pioneer" events of the 1918 flu came from 1915, 1916 or even early 1918.

Another unique feature of the 1918 influenza pandemic was that people and pigs were infected almost at the same time.The 1918 virus probably expressed a new subtype of antigenicity, which led to the low immunity of most people and pigs. Recently published genetic studies show that hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminic acid (NA) expressed by the 1918 virus gene were probably derived from the avian influenza virus shortly before the start of the pandemic, and the precursor virus failed to spread widely in humans or pigs for decades. More recent reports of the virus gene sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the virus also support this conclusion. Regression analysis of human/swine flu sequences from 1930 to the present shows that the precursor of 1918 virus first spread in humans from 1915 to 1918. Therefore, the precursor of the 1918 virus may have spread widely among humans before 1918, and so far no research has directly indicated the transition from any bird. In a word, its origin is still confusing.

Are the three waves of epidemics from the same virus?

Historical records since the 16th century show that a new influenza pandemic may occur at any time of the year, which is not necessarily the regular pattern in winter every year, because the behavior pattern most likely from the new influenza has been found among infected people. After that, these pandemic viruses began to drift in the face of the selective pressure of population immunity, and eventually the pattern of annual epidemic recurrence was triggered by drifting virus mutants.

During the 1918-1919 pandemic, the first spring tide began in March 1918 and spread to the United States, Europe and even Asia in different degrees in the next six months. The prevalence rate was very high, but the mortality rate in most areas was not significantly higher than the normal value. The second wave of autumn tide began in September-November, 1918, and it spread rapidly around the world and was fatal. The third wave of epidemic began in early 1919. According to the clinical similarity, some contemporary observers have come to the conclusion at the beginning that the three epidemics should be caused by the same disease: the mild symptoms in the three epidemics are the same, and they have the typical flu characteristics of the 1889 pandemic and earlier pandemics. However, in retrospect, there are few cases in which the first wave of spring tide developed rapidly from simple influenza to fatal pneumonia, and fatal pneumonia is the symbol of the last two waves of epidemic tide; Comparatively speaking, the frequency of complex, serious and fatal cases in the last two waves will be higher.

It is unprecedented for three large-scale epidemics to occur in a year. To some extent, the antigenic drift of the virus is the reason why it keeps recurring every year, and an antigenic virus variant appears about every 2 ~ 3 years. If there is no drift characteristic, once the immunity of human/livestock reaches the critical threshold, the influenza virus may disappear, and under this critical threshold, the further spread of the virus is limited. For decades, people have been speculating about the time and space between influenza pandemics. In addition to human/livestock immune restrictions, the factors of virus transmission include low ambient temperature, nasal cavity temperature (which is beneficial to heat-labile viruses, such as influenza), suitable humidity, indoor congestion and poor ventilation.
However, none of the above factors can explain the three waves of epidemic in 1918-1919, which occurred in spring and summer, summer and autumn and winter respectively. The first two waves occur at the time of unfavorable influenza transmission every year; The second wave broke out in the northern hemisphere/southern hemisphere from September to November; In addition, the period between epidemic tides is so short that it is almost impossible to detect in some areas. It is difficult for epidemiology to explain the sharp decline of cases between the first wave and the second wave, and the sharp rise of cases between the second wave and the third wave. Even assuming that the acquired immunity after infection is short-lived, there are too few susceptible people to maintain the spread at one point. How can a new explosive pandemic be triggered in a few weeks? Will the virus mutate completely at the same time in almost a short time around the world?
However, according to scientific experience, it takes several years for influenza virus to spread globally, not just a few weeks. Moreover, even the mutant that has drifted will take several months to spread around the world. Other influenza pandemics have not been reported continuously within one year. For example, the 1889 flu began in the late spring of 1889, and it took several months to spread around the world, reaching its peak in northern Europe and the United States in late 1889 or early 1890; The second recurrence occurred in late spring of 1891 (one year late) and the third in early 1892. Like the 1918 flu, more people died when the second epidemic wave recurred, but the spread time of the three epidemics in 1889-1892 was more than three years, while the spread time of the successive epidemics in 1918-1919 was compressed to August-September.The ability of the 1918 influenza to rapidly develop a continuous pandemic is still unknown. Because the autopsy materials we identified only came from the second wave of 1918 influenza, it is inconclusive whether the first wave or the third wave also came from the same virus or mutant. The experimental data show that the second wave of infected people may have obtained immune protection during the third wave of epidemic, but the data is not enough to support whether the second/third wave of infected people obtained immune protection from the first wave of epidemic, nor can they answer the question whether the three waves of epidemic came from the same virus or mutant. Only by getting the RNA positive samples of infected people before 1918 and the three waves of epidemic in 1918 can we answer this question.

4. Did the 1918 virus host come from animals?

The data of 1918 virus gene sequence shows that the whole genome may be new to human beings in 1918 or not long ago. It was not produced by recombining one or more new genes from previous viruses (unlike the 1957 or 1968 epidemic). On the contrary, the 1918 virus seems to be derived from an unknown source of avian influenza virus (eight gene fragments are different from the current avian influenza genes). The gene sequence of influenza virus collected from wild bird specimens around 1918 is not much different from that of today’s avian influenza virus, which indicates that even for a long time, the antigenic changes of avian influenza virus may hardly occur in natural reservoir.

For example, the sequence of 1918 nucleoprotein (NP) gene is similar to the virus in wild birds in amino acid level, but it is very different in nucleotide level, which indicates that the source of 1918 nucleoprotein is far from the virus nucleoprotein in wild birds at present. One way to check the evolutionary distance of genes is to compare the ratio of synonymous nucleotides to non-synonymous nucleotides. Synonymous substitution means that the nucleotide change in the sequence will not lead to amino acid substitution; Non-synonymous substitution means that nucleotide changes will lead to amino acid substitution. Generally speaking, viruses under immune drift pressure or adapting to new hosts show a larger proportion of non-synonymous mutations, while viruses under minimal pressure mainly accumulate synonymous substitutions, which are considered to reflect the evolutionary distance.

Because the 1918 influenza virus gene fragments known from wild birds have more synonymous substitutions than expected, they are unlikely to come directly from viruses similar to avian influenza virus. One of them is particularly obvious. When people check the 4-fold degenerate codons (a subset of synonymous substitutions), they find that the third codon can replace any of the 4 nucleotides without changing the amino acids. At the same time, although the 1918 virus has been adapted to the intermediate host of human/pig for many years, the amino acid level of its sequence is still very small compared with that of wild birds. One possible explanation is that these abnormal gene fragments were obtained from an unidentified influenza virus database.All these findings lead to a question: Where did the 1918 virus come from?

Contrary to the 1918 virus, the gene fragments of the recombinant viruses of 1957 and 1968 influenza were from Eurasian avian influenza virus. Both human viruses are produced by the same mechanism: it is the recombination of Eurasian avian influenza virus and the previously popular human H1N1 virus. To prove the origin of the 1918 virus, samples more similar to the 1918 virus sequence are needed: samples before the 1918 virus epidemic and wild epidemic samples.

5. What is the biological basis of the pathogenicity of the 1918 virus?

Single gene sequence analysis can not provide the cause of pathogenicity of 1918 virus. Through a series of in vitro/animal model experiments, the researchers tried to model the virulence of the virus constructed by reverse gene.

Influenza virus infection requires HA protein to bind to sialic acid receptors on the surface of host cells.However, the configuration of HA receptor binding site of influenza virus suitable for avian infection is different from that of influenza virus suitable for human infection. Avian influenza virus preferentially binds sialic acid receptor with α(2-3) linked sugar; Human influenza virus is considered to preferentially use α(2-6) linked sugar. This avian receptor configuration can be transformed into infection only by changing one amino acid, while the HA protein of five sequenced 1918 viruses has this change, which is probably a key step to adapt to human hosts. There is also a second possibility that three of the five sequenced 1918 viruses have another change in their HA sequence that enhances the binding of human receptors.

This means that at least two H1N1 receptor-binding mutants spread in 1918: one shows high affinity with human receptor and the other shows mixed high affinity with avian/human receptor. But there is no geographical or chronological indication that one of the variants is the precursor of the other.Did these viruses have the same transmission ability in 1918, did they have the same replication pattern in the respiratory tree, and did they spread the same virus in the first and third epidemics? Are unknown.

In a series of in vivo experiments, recombinant genes containing gene fragments 1 and 5 of 1918 virus have been produced. These recombinants with 1918 HA/NA showed high pathogenicity in mice. In addition, the microarray analysis of gene expression in lung tissue of these mice showed that cell apoptosis, tissue damage and oxidation were all related to the expression of such genes. These findings are unexpected, because the virus with 1918 gene has not adapted to mice; The control group (mice infected with other modern human viruses) showed little pathogenicity and virus replication. Mice infected with 1918 HA/NA recombinant showed necrosis of bronchial and alveolar epithelium and obvious inflammatory infiltration in their lungs, which indicated that 1918 HA (and possibly NA) contained pathogenic factors for mice. It is not clear whether the pathogenicity of mice can effectively simulate the pathogenicity of humans, and the potential role of other 1918 single or combined proteins is not clear. The researchers plan to further draw the genetic basis of the toxicity of the 1918 virus on other animal models. These experiments may help to determine the pathogenic components of the 1918 virus, but it is impossible to determine whether it is the main factor in the death pattern of the 1918 influenza.

Why did the 1918 virus kill so many healthy young people?

From the historical experience, the flu death curve by age has been U-shaped for at least 150 years (Figure 2), which shows the peak of death in childhood and old age, and the death rate in the middle age group is lower. On the contrary, the 1918 flu showed a unique pattern, a "W-shaped" curve that had never been recorded, and there was another death peak among people aged about 20-40.During 1918-1919, the mortality rate of people aged 15-34 suffering from influenza and pneumonia was more than 20 times higher than in previous years. Nearly half of the 1918 flu deaths came from people aged 20-40, which was unique to the 1918 flu.

Another unique point is that the mortality rate of people under 65 years old is much higher than that of people over 65 years old, and it accounts for 99% of the flu deaths in 1918. In comparison, the mortality rate of people under 65 years old accounted for 36% of the 1957 H2N2 influenza and 48% of the 1968 H3N2 influenza.

　

Figure 2 Mortality rate of influenza and pneumonia per 100,000 population of all ages in the United States from 1911 to 1918.

Further dividing the influenza mortality curve by age, we can clearly see that the prevalence rate of people under 35 years old is very high (Figure 3-a), but there is still a W-shaped death peak among young people, which is obviously different from the U-shaped curve of influenza in 1928-1929 (Figure 3-c). The same 1918 flu, the prevalence rate of 5 ~ 14 years old is also high, but the mortality rate is much lower (Figure 3-a/b). In order to explain this model, we must jump out of the host and environmental factors and look further, which may include immunopathological factors (such as increased antibody-dependent infection associated with virus exposure) and other risk factors (such as concurrent infection, drugs used and environmental factors). See figure 3.

Fig. 3 Community survey results of American public health institutions in 8 states in 1918.
Note: Figures A, B and C show the prevalence rate, mortality rate and mortality rate of influenza and pneumonia in different age groups respectively.

There is a theory that can partially explain these findings. The 1918 virus is highly toxic, but for patients born before 1889, that is, people who are over 35 years old and have been exposed to the virus at that time, they have obtained partial immune protection against the 1918 virus. But there is a paradox in this theory: this nameless virus precursor must have appeared before 1889, and then reappeared 30 years later, but no trace has been found today.

Epidemiological data collected from 1900 to 1918 provided good evidence for the emergence of a new antigenic virus in 1918. It shows that from 1900 to 1917, the age group of 5 to 15 years old accounted for 11% of the total number of influenza cases, while the age group over 65 years old accounted for 6% of the total number of influenza cases. However, in 1918, the age group of 5-15 years jumped to 25% of the total number of influenza cases, while the age group over 65 years accounted for only 0.6% of the total number of influenza cases. This is consistent with the results of protective immunity obtained by previous exposure to the same or related viruses, and the mortality data is also consistent. In 1918, the number of deaths from influenza and pneumonia in the age group over 75 was less than that in 1911-1917 before the pandemic. At the other end of the age group (Figure 2), the infant mortality rate in 1918 was similar to other pandemic patterns.

Will the 1918 flu reappear? If so, what should I do?

As far as the course of disease and pathology are concerned, the 1918 influenza pandemic is different from the historical pandemic only in degree, not in species.Despite the large number of deaths worldwide, most infected people (> 95% from industrialized countries) are mild, which is not much different from today’s influenza. In addition, the experimental results of recombinant influenza virus containing 1918 virus gene show that 1918 virus and 1918-like virus are as sensitive to the anti-influenza drugs rimantadine and oseltamivir (approved by FDA) as other typical influenza viruses.

However, the 1918 flu has some characteristics of its own: in particular, the mortality rate is 5 ~ 20 times higher than expected. From the clinical and pathological point of view, these high mortality rates seem to be caused by many factors, including a higher proportion of severe respiratory infections (organ failure not caused by influenza); In addition, death cases are concentrated in an unusually young age group; Finally, in 1918, three influenza epidemics appeared one after another at an unusually rapid speed. Each feature may reflect the genetic characteristics of the 1918 virus, but to understand them, it is necessary to check the host and environment.

Until we can’t determine which factors lead to the influenza pandemic and high mortality rate, these can only be guesses. We can only come to the conclusion that since it has happened before, similar conditions may lead to the same serious pandemic.

Like the virus in 1918, H5N1 is an avian virus, although it is a distant relative. The reasons for the evolutionary path of the 1918 pandemic are completely unknown, but it seems to be different from the current H5N1 situation in many aspects. No matter the 1918 pandemic or any other infectious disease pandemic, there is no historical data showing the existence of a pandemic "precursor virus", which led to the outbreak of highly pathogenic infection in poultry; There is no historical data to prove that highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus, including other virus subtypes such as H5N1, can cause human epidemics, let alone pandemics.

Effective human-to-human transmission is the main prerequisite for the emergence of pandemic.Although the adaptation of influenza viruses to human cells (such as receptor binding) has begun to be understood at the molecular level, how various influenza viruses adapt to humans is not completely clear at present. In 1918, the virus acquired the characteristics of adapting to human beings, but at present, we have no way to know whether the H5N1 virus will acquire the ability of human-to-human transmission in a parallel process. Although the data about the 1918 virus has increased geometrically in the past ten years, we don’t know much more about the 2006 influenza pandemic than about the risk of the 1976 H1N1 "swine flu" epidemic.

Even with modern antiviral drugs, vaccines, and knowledge of infectious disease prevention, if there is another virus like 1918, it may still kill more than 100 million people all over the world. An outbreak of a pandemic virus with high pathogenicity potential, such as the recent H5N1 virus, may cause more deaths.

No matter the virus, host or environmental factors, the virus of the first wave in 1918 had nothing to do with the abnormal pathogenicity of the second and third waves. And more, identify the virulence models of the first wave of influenza RNA positive cases from different gene sequences; Identification of human influenza RNA samples before 1918 is helpful to understand the time when the 1918 virus appeared; The observation and sequencing of a large number of animal influenza viruses will help us to understand the genetic basis of adapting to the host and the natural reservoir range of influenza. Generally speaking, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the 1918 influenza from the aspects of history, epidemiology and biology in order to answer many unsolved mysteries.

State and municipal people’s governments, provincial committees, offices, departments and bureaus:

Recently, novel coronavirus’s pneumonia epidemic occurred in many areas such as Wuhan City, Hubei Province. In recent years, the epidemic situation has developed rapidly, and the prevention and control of the epidemic situation is facing a severe situation. In order to effectively strengthen the epidemic prevention and control work in our province, resolutely win the epidemic prevention and control war, and fully protect people’s life safety and health, with the consent of the provincial people’s government, relevant matters are hereby notified as follows:

First, improve the political position

After the outbreak, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to it. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made an important instruction: "The pneumonia epidemic situation infected by novel coronavirus has occurred one after another recently in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, and we must attach great importance to it and do our best to prevent and control it. At present, during the Spring Festival, people are moving intensively on a large scale, so it is very important to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control. Party committees, governments and relevant departments at all levels should put people’s life safety and physical health first, formulate careful plans, organize all forces to carry out prevention and control, and take practical and effective measures to resolutely curb the spread of the epidemic. We should try our best to treat patients, find out the causes of virus infection and transmission as soon as possible, strengthen case monitoring and standardize the disposal process. It is necessary to timely release epidemic information and deepen international cooperation. It is necessary to strengthen the guidance of public opinion, strengthen the propaganda and interpretation of relevant policies and measures, resolutely safeguard the overall stability of society, and ensure that the people spend a stable and peaceful Spring Festival. " Premier Li Keqiang gave instructions: "All relevant departments and localities should be highly responsible for people’s health, improve their response plans, do a good job in prevention and control, and implement early detection, early reporting, early isolation, early treatment and centralized treatment measures. Accelerate the identification of the source of the virus and the mechanisms of infection and transmission, timely and objectively release information on the epidemic situation and prevention and control work, and scientifically publicize the knowledge of epidemic prevention. Do a good job in communication and coordination with the World Health Organization, relevant countries and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions, work closely together to form a joint force, and resolutely prevent the spread of the epidemic. "

All localities, relevant departments and units should conscientiously study and implement the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, implement the instructions of Premier Li Keqiang and the spirit of the video conference held by the joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council on January 20, 2020, and further improve their political positions in accordance with the instructions of the main leaders of the provincial party Committee and the provincial government and the spirit of the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the provincial party Committee on January 22, 2020 and the video conference of the provincial people’s government on January 23, 2020. Do a good job in epidemic prevention and control as a practical test to strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences" and achieve the "two maintenance", fully understand the seriousness, complexity and arduousness of the current epidemic prevention and control situation, resolutely shoulder the political responsibility for epidemic prevention and control, establish a strong sense of "it is better to prevent nine empty cases than to prevent one thousand accidents" with an extremely responsible attitude towards the people, pay close attention to the changes in the epidemic situation, and fully implement the prevention and control measures.

Second, strengthen organizational leadership

We should earnestly be responsible, responsible and conscientious in guarding the land, resolutely implement the territorial responsibility, strengthen the responsibility of the "top leader" as the first responsible person, and establish a centralized, unified and efficient prevention and control command system. The provincial people’s government set up a leading group for epidemic prevention and control with the governor as the team leader, the relevant vice governor and the secretary-general of the provincial government as the deputy team leader, and the main responsible comrades of relevant departments and units directly under the provincial government as members. States, cities, counties and districts should quickly set up a leading group for epidemic prevention and control headed by the main leaders of the government, strengthen the organization and leadership of epidemic prevention and control work in their own cities, formulate a work plan for epidemic prevention and control, and pay close attention to the implementation of the work and go all out to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control in accordance with the principles of "scientific according to law, territorial management, joint management, external defense input and internal non-proliferation". All members of the leading group should work closely together, set up a special working group, clarify their responsibilities and tasks, improve the epidemic prevention and control plan, establish and improve the working consultation mechanism, coordination linkage mechanism, information communication mechanism and information release mechanism, strengthen information sharing, joint investigation of problems and measures linkage between departments and localities, and earnestly fulfill the responsibility of epidemic prevention and control.

Third, strengthen prevention and control measures

To do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, the general requirements are: to follow the rules and regulations in accordance with the law, to manage the territory, to improve the mechanism, to respond together, to rely on science, order and effectiveness, to be open and transparent, and to seek truth from facts.

(1) early detection. Departments and units such as airports, railways, transportation, culture and tourism should take immediate action to comprehensively monitor the temperature and symptoms of passengers entering Yunnan. Those with suspected symptoms should be kept for observation in accordance with the regulations. If they are confirmed as suspected cases, they should be promptly transferred to medical institutions designated by local health departments. The people’s governments of the states, cities, counties and districts should quickly organize the comprehensive registration and follow-up of those who have lived or traveled in Hubei Province in the near future (within 14 days) and their close contacts, give health tips, implement grid and carpet management, closely track their health status, and immediately report to the local disease control institutions in case of suspected symptoms, and carry out work in accordance with regulations. At the same time, all localities should increase the intensity of epidemic monitoring, urge and guide medical institutions to strengthen the monitoring of fever cases in outpatient clinics, so as to report every doubt and check every fever.

(2) Make early reports. All localities, relevant departments and units should improve the reporting mechanism of the epidemic situation, implement the daily reporting and zero reporting system of the epidemic situation, report the occurrence, development and changes of the epidemic situation in a timely manner, and seriously hold accountable the units and individuals who make false reports, conceal reports or omit reports of the epidemic situation in accordance with the provisions.

(3) early treatment. All localities should determine the designated medical institutions for treatment as soon as possible and announce them to the public. Designated medical institutions should do a good job in protective equipment, drug reserves for treatment and technical preparation of personnel, set up expert groups, improve the diagnosis and treatment plan, strengthen the training of medical personnel, and improve the ability and level of treatment. Once an infected case is reported, we will make every effort to carry out treatment according to the principle of "territorial treatment, centralized treatment, and patient’s immobility and expert’s mobility" to minimize the occurrence of severe cases and deaths.

(4) early isolation. All localities should improve the workflow of case discovery, treatment, investigation and isolation and do a good job in personnel training. It is necessary to strictly manage the source of infection, strengthen the isolation observation and protection measures for suspected cases and close contacts, and implement on-site isolation treatment for confirmed cases to ensure that no one is missed. Control measures should be taken to reduce public gathering activities and stop public gathering activities with obvious cross risks.

Fourth, strengthen publicity and education

All localities should strengthen the publicity of infectious disease prevention and control laws and regulations and epidemic prevention and control knowledge in key places and regions such as hotels, airports, stations, docks, tourist attractions and rural areas; It is necessary to organize experts to compile epidemic prevention and control knowledge and publish it in various media, scientifically interpret the epidemic, announce the symptoms of the disease, guide the masses to scientifically understand and rationally respond to the epidemic, eliminate unnecessary panic, and create a good atmosphere for prevention and control. We must persist in carrying out patriotic health campaigns, carry out all-round and multi-level publicity, advocate a healthy and civilized lifestyle with ways and methods that the masses like to hear and understand, guide the masses to wash their hands frequently, wear masks, do a good job in personal protection, enhance their awareness of self-protection and improve their preventive ability.

V. Strengthening the guidance of public opinion

All localities should establish an epidemic information release mechanism in accordance with the principles of seeking truth from facts, respecting science, openness and transparency, and release epidemic information in a timely, scientific and standardized manner in strict accordance with national requirements and prescribed procedures. The epidemic information will be released after being examined and approved by the Provincial Health and Wellness Committee. It is necessary to inform the epidemic situation in a timely manner, take the initiative to interpret the epidemic prevention and control measures, and respond to social concerns in a timely manner. We should do a good job in public opinion monitoring, pay close attention to negative public opinions and false information and deal with them in time to prevent rumors from spreading.

VI. Implementing safeguard measures

All localities, relevant departments and units should provide necessary funds for epidemic prevention and control, do a good job in the storage and supply of protective articles, therapeutic drugs, medical equipment, testing reagents and emergency materials, mobilize relevant enterprises to do their best to produce and allocate emergency materials for prevention and control, and ensure that all kinds of materials are fully supplied and the market is stable. Acts that disrupt the market order, such as making and selling fake and inferior products, hoarding, driving up prices, cheating for profit, etc., are strictly investigated and dealt with according to law. We should pay more attention to medical staff, strengthen the control of nosocomial infection, do a good job in the management of fever clinic and outpatient emergency, and conscientiously implement the protective measures for medical staff to prevent nosocomial infection; It is necessary to do a good job in health monitoring of medical personnel to ensure their health; It is necessary to carry out supervision and inspection on the configuration of protective equipment and the implementation of protective measures in medical institutions to prevent hospitals from becoming places where the epidemic spreads. It is necessary to strictly implement the relevant medical security policies and adopt a special reimbursement policy for patients diagnosed as "pneumonia in novel coronavirus" to ensure that patients are not affected by medical expenses; Prepaid funds for centralized hospitals will reduce the pressure on hospitals to pay in advance, and the medical expenses of patients will not be included in the total budget control index of hospitals to ensure that hospitals will not be affected by payment policies.

Seven, serious responsibility accountability

All localities, relevant departments and units should strictly implement the responsibility system and accountability system for epidemic prevention and control. We should be serious about work discipline, strengthen duty and ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees. It is necessary to further strengthen the implementation of the work, establish a supervision and guidance system, strengthen supervision and inspection of registration and follow-up, epidemic report, medical treatment, etc., and implement various policies and measures at the grassroots level and the front line of prevention and control work. We must resolutely oppose formalism and bureaucracy in epidemic prevention and control work, do a good job in epidemic prevention and control work in a spirit of being highly responsible to the party and the people, and seriously hold accountable units and individuals who are slow to implement the epidemic prevention and control decision-making and deployment, and whose measures are ineffective and cause serious consequences such as the spread of the epidemic.

CCTV News:What you are looking at now is the Yunnan Huangguo Abies forest located in Chayu County, Linzhi City, southeast Tibet. These firs are very tall, and the tallest one is 83.2 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of 28 floors. Chayu has a warm climate and lush vegetation, with a forest area of more than 1.696 million hectares. A large number of rare wild animals and plants inhabit and grow here, and biodiversity is effectively protected.
