Forty Years of China’s Literary Creation: From "Wound Literature" to "Network Novel"

  Forty years of China’s literary creation: from "scar literature" to "online novel"

  China news agency, Beijing, October 6 (Reporter Gao Kai) "Literary changes are influenced by the world, and the rise and fall depend on the time sequence" (Liu Xie, Southern Dynasty), from "scar literature" to "online novel", China’s literary creation has experienced colorful ups and downs with social changes in the past 40 years.

  In 1977, the 11th issue of People’s Literature published Liu Xinwu’s "Head Teacher" in the headline of "Special Short Stories". The novel was criticized as "criticism and enlightenment" and the pursuit of authenticity, which exposed the spiritual poison caused by the "Cultural Revolution" to teenagers. In 1978, a wave of literary creations revealed the harm of the Cultural Revolution to the people’s spirit, such as Wound by Lu Xinhua and Soul and Body by Zhang Xianliang, told the spiritual history records of a generation of China intellectuals who reflected on the Cultural Revolution. It was called "Wound Literature" in the literary history, while The Head Teacher was regarded as a "pioneering work".

  This year, in an interview with the media, Liu Xinwu said that "scar literature" is more about expressing thoughts, opinions and viewpoints, rather than really digging deep into the literature itself. In fact, when literature continues to progress, and then the creation is required to truly return to the literary ontology, it is far from enough to express the views on social life. "Trauma literature naturally melts with the development of the times."

  What the reform has brought to China people is not only the abundance of material life, but also the expansion of individual thought and living space.

  Since 1978, with the economic and social changes, Dangdai’s literary publications such as October, Flower City and Everyone have come out in succession, and they have quickly become fertile ground for the growth of literary creation.

  After the "scar literature", a large number of reform works emerged, from Zhang Jie’s "Heavy Wings" to Ke Yunlu’s "New Star", which aroused widespread public concern. "New Star" appeared as a avant-garde literary image that reflected realistic problems and confronted social contradictions, and its adaptation of the TV series of the same name gained unprecedented attention and ratings at that time.

  In 1986, Lu Yao’s Ordinary World interwoven daily life with huge social conflicts, showing the difficult and tortuous road that ordinary people have taken in the historical process of the great era. This award-winning work of Mao Dun Literature Award not only won the recognition of the literary world, but also aroused strong resonance among readers and became the "explosion" of that year.

  China literature is increasingly returning to literary noumenon, and it is more inclined to pure literature.

  Since the middle and late 1980s, a number of outstanding writers, such as Yu Hua, Su Tong, Liu Suola, Acheng and Ge Fei, have successively published their "golden" works.

  In 1985, Mo Yan published the novella Transparent Carrots in China Writers, which added a wonderful stroke to the literature in the new period with magnificent imagination and expanded the creative space of novels in the new period. Mo Yan became famous in one fell swoop. Twenty-seven years later, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature because his works "magical realism blended folk stories, history and contemporary society".

  Chen Jiangong, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, said that during the period from 1978 to 2008, China’s literary creation, writers constantly expanded the realm of "ego", and integrated "ego" into the feelings of home and country, national worries and joys, and the people’s upsurge of creating history and the torrent of national rejuvenation. ? From "non-ego" to "ego" and from "ego" to "ego", the creative subject of literature has finally found its own artistic and historical orientation, which is the mystery of the outstanding personality of literary creation and the heavy and vigorous literary pattern over the years.

  With the progress of science and technology and social development, the Internet has increasingly entered the lives of China people, and network literature has emerged. Since Cai Zhiheng’s online novel "The First Intimate Contact" became popular in 1998, China’s online literature has gone through 20 years.

  With the development of film, animation, games and other related industries in recent years, the annual income of many online writers has reached "tens of millions".

  Born in 1981, the online writer "Tang Jiasan Shao" has owned his own cultural investment company, ranking first in the rich list of online writers in China for many years. In addition to the material sense of existence, after years of development, China online writers have also become a member of the mainstream literary creation. Tang Jiasan believes that the traditional literary world has accepted and tolerated online literature to a great extent. With the network literature entering a new turning point in history, the network literature, which started from leisure and entertainment, has also shown a positive trend in the creation of realistic themes.

  Literature comes from the times and also records the times. Looking back on the 40 years of reform and opening up, China’s literary creation is magnificent, and the future can be expected. As Mr. Lu Xun said, "Infinite distance and countless people are all related to me". (End)

US media: The suppression of ZTE by the United States stems from the panic about the rise of China’s science and technology! Those who hurt will hurt themselves, foreign media said

  On the 16th local time, the US Department of Commerce announced that American companies will be banned from selling parts, commodities, software and technology to ZTE in the next seven years. A heavy punch hit ZTE.

  Sino-US trade friction has lasted for 30 days since US President Trump announced the imposition of punitive tariffs on various goods in China on March 23rd.

  Is this move of the United States in the name of "national security of the United States" really just competing with China in trade?

  The ulterior motive to ban sales actually stems from the panic of the United States about the rise of science and technology in China.

  "Trade war"? The United States wants to fight technology.

  The Wall Street Journal published an article a few days ago, pointing out the real exchange area of the "trade war" between the two countries:Field of science and technology.

  

  In the trade war with China, American science and technology field was besieged by war.

  At the beginning of the article, if you think that the trade friction between China and the United States is only about steel and soybeans, then you have to think about it:

  If you think the rising economic tensions between the U.S. and China are all to do with commodities like steel and soybeans, think again. The tech sector is very much in the crossfire.

  If you think that the trade friction between China and the United States is only related to commodities such as steel and soybeans, you need to think twice, because the field of science and technology is in full swing.

  What the Trump administration is worried about is the technological advantages of these enterprises in China:

  Besides the generally negative tone of U.S.-China trade relations, the Trump administration is also worried about ZTE and Huawei’ s growing technological edge: The two companies led the world in patent applications in 2017, according to the World Intellectual Property Organization.

  In addition to the negative tone of Sino-US trade relations, the Trump administration is also worried about the growing technological advantages of ZTE and Huawei: according to the World Intellectual Property Organization, these two companies led the world in the number of patent applications in 2017.

   The United States is worried about the development of 5G by China science and technology enterprises

  What is the United States particularly worried about? The article pointed out that it is the 5G technology of these enterprises. This is likely to make the United States lag behind in communication technology, and it can only rely on China science and technology enterprises in the future:

  A specific concern is that their massive investment in next-generation mobile-network technology, known as 5G, could leave American wireless carriers with no choice but to use Chinese technology in future.

  A very specific concern is that they (ZTE and Huawei) have invested heavily in 5G, which may make American wireless operators have to rely on China technology in the future.

  The article said that this is the same as the US government’s intervention in Qualcomm’s acquisition, and they are all worried that their own development of 5G will be blocked:

  The move against ZTE is consistent with the U.S. government’ s decision last month to block Singapore-based Broadcom ’ s proposed takeover of Qualcomm, on the grounds it would undermine U.S. strength in 5G technology.

  Last month, the U.S. government blocked Broadcom’s request to acquire Qualcomm on the grounds that it would damage the U.S. advantage in 5G technology, which is actually a routine with its sanctions against ZTE.

   Dissatisfied with Made in China 2025ZTE wants to play a big game of chess.

  The New York Times said that the United States has long been staring at China’s 2025 and wants to play a big game with China in cutting-edge technology, trying to prevent China from leading some technology industries:

  

  China enterprises are banned from buying American parts.

  The article writes:

  That trade clash now centers heavily on cutting-edge technology. The Trump administration accuses China of using coercion and illicit means to obtain A merican technology. In particular, it has criticized an industrial plan known as Made in China 2025 that seeks to make China a world leader in industries like robotics, electric cars and medical devices.

  Now, this trade conflict mainly focuses on cutting-edge technology. The Trump administration accused China of using coercion and illegal means to acquire American technology, and was particularly dissatisfied with the industrial plan of Made in China 2025. The plan seeks to make China a world leader in areas such as robots, electric cars and medical equipment.

  In a bid to stop China from dominating these industries, the White House has proposed limiting American exports of semiconductors and advanced machinery to the country. That could happen through new investme nt restrictions, which are slated to be announced in the coming months.

  The White House tried to prevent China from leading these industries, and proposed to restrict the export of semiconductors and advanced machinery from the United States to China. This may be achieved through new investment restrictions, which will be announced in the coming months.

  The New York Times also said that in recent years, China has made considerable progress in some fields such as artificial intelligence:

  While China has long been viewed as the lower-cost producer for technology companies in the United States, it has in recent years gained considerable ground in areas like artificial intelligence. Last year, China unveiled a plan to become the world leader in artificial intelligence and create an industry worth $150 billion to its economy by 2030.

  Although China has long been regarded as a low-cost producer of American technology companies, in recent years, China has made considerable progress in artificial intelligence and other fields. Last year, China announced its plan to become a world leader in the field of artificial intelligence and turn it into an industry worth 150 billion US dollars (about 940 billion yuan) by 2030.

  The American media Axios also published an article saying that this is due to the panic of China technology:

  The United States is alarmed by the threat of science and technology in China.

  Can the United States really get the upper hand by sanctioning China’s enterprises?

  Those who hurt people will hurt themselves. The United States has shot at ZTE this time. Many American media commented that it was shooting themselves in the foot:

  

  WSJ: In the war of science and technology between China and the United States, the United States killed 1,000 enemies and suffered 800 losses.

  Fu Cheng, the founder chairman of China Capital Capital, described the US sanctions against ZTE as follows:

  the fraughtest moment in the 30-year history of U.S.-China technology trade and mutual reliance

  The most worrying moment in the 30-year history of Sino-US science and technology trade and interdependence.

  Worried, worried

   American chipmakers are also having a hard time.

  Just as many industries in China depend on American chips, the American chip market also needs China. Qualcomm has been pushed to an extremely embarrassing situation by its own country:

  The block put the mobile-chip company firmly at the center of a growing tech rivalry between its home country and its biggest market: China, which accounts for almost two-thirds of Qualcomm’ s revenue.

  The ban puts Qualcomm, a mobile phone chip company, at the center of the technological contest between China and the United States, while China is Qualcomm’s largest market, and two-thirds of Qualcomm’s revenue comes from China.

  And because of this, Qualcomm’s plan to acquire NXP, a Dutch company, may be implicated and forced to shelve:

  China’ s Commerce Ministry spokesman, Gao Feng, said Thursday a preliminary review of Qualcomm’ s NXP deal turned up issues that make “it difficult to eliminate the negative impact,” but he didn’ t rule out the possibility of an eventual approval.

  Gao Feng, spokesman of China’s Ministry of Commerce, said on 19th that he was reviewing the case of Qualcomm’s acquisition of NXP, and thought that the merger was "difficult to eliminate the negative impact", but he did not rule out the possibility of final approval.

  Qualcomm said Thursday that it refiled its application with Chinese regulators, and agreed with NXP to extend the deal’ s deadline by three months to July 25.

  Qualcomm said on the 19th that it had resubmitted its application to China and agreed with NXP to extend the trading deadline by three months to July 25th.

  It is reported that according to anti-monopoly laws, this transaction needs to be approved by the regulatory authorities of nine countries and regions. After many games, the EU finally gave the green light, and now it only needs the approval of the Ministry of Commerce of China.

  The article said:

  The deal is seen as crucial to San Diego-based Qualcomm, which needs to look for growth beyond its dominance in the smartphone sector. NXP specializes in making chips for automobiles, a rapidly growing market.

  This acquisition is particularly important for Qualcomm in San Diego, which needs to seek growth outside its dominant smart phone industry, while NXP specializes in mobile phone chip manufacturing, which is a fast-growing market.

  According to the article, the interdependence of Chinese and American technology companies proves that the war of science and technology is not a zero-sum game, and Qualcomm is one of the injured scientific enterprises in the United States:

  The interdependence of technology companies across the Pacific means that a tech war isn’ t a zero-sum game. Qualcomm is one of several U.S. suppliers hurt by the ban on sales to ZTE.

  The interdependence of trans-Pacific technology companies shows that the war of technology is not a zero-sum game. Qualcomm is one of the injured suppliers who banned ZTE in the United States.

  According to a report by Bloomberg on the 19th, in order to reduce costs, Qualcomm has begun to lay off employees on a large scale:

  Qualcomm Inc. has begun cutting about 1, 500 jobs in California as part of a broader workforce reduction aimed at meeting a commitment to investors to pare costs by $1 billion, according to people familiar with the process.

  According to people familiar with the matter, Qualcomm has started to cut about 1,500 jobs in California, which is also part of a broader layoff plan aimed at fulfilling its promise to investors to cut costs by $1 billion.

   American farmers have added new worries

  A while ago, foreign media had lamented that a trade war between China and the United States would bring a disastrous blow to American farmers.

  However, the recent US sanctions against China technology companies will deal a blow to American farmers on the other hand: Internet speed.

  According to the Shi Ying Finance website, the Federal Communications Commission voted for a measure that will prevent American operators from using federal funds to buy network equipment from companies such as Huawei and ZTE.

  The article is worried about the network in rural America:

  Cutting out the Chinese companies from rural markets could place significant financial pressure on carriers and reduce their ability to provide adequate connectivity.

  Driving China companies out of the US rural market may bring huge financial pressure to operators and reduce their ability to provide adequate network connections.

  The sanctions imposed on ZTE have aroused the hearts of China people.

  The pain of ZTE’s "chip" made us aware of our shortcomings, and at the same time aroused the hearts of Chinese people.

  Foreign media have also noticed this.

  The Hill said:The United States’ ban on ZTE aroused the unity of China people.

  The report said:

  The Chinese are now rallying around telecommunications company ZTE Corp. in response to a U.S. ban on sales of components to the Chinese company.

  China people are now united around ZTE, a telecommunications company, to resist the US decision to ban the sale of components.

  Reuters also reported that:

  Chinese social media has seen an outpouring of support for ZTE.

  A large number of comments from netizens have sprung up on social media in China to support ZTE.

  The commentary in South China Morning Post thinks that ZTE may become an opportunity for China if it dies.

  Why does the United States sanction ZTE or become the best driving force to boost China’s chip ambition?

  According to the article, the China administration will therefore work hard to get rid of its dependence on the United States in the semiconductor field:

  The shock of possibly seeing one of its star state owned tech companies struggle for survival will push Beijing even harder in its efforts to reduce re liance on some US$200 billion of annual semiconductor imports, which it fears holds back its own technology sector.

  Seeing that the technology giants of state-owned enterprises will be struggling to survive, the China government is shocked and will make every effort to get rid of the annual semiconductor import of about 200 billion US dollars. The government is worried that these imported semiconductors will hinder the development of the country’s science and technology field.

  The article notes that the China government has already invested a lot of money in the semiconductor field and was established.National integrated circuit industry investment fundGive financial support to domestic semiconductor enterprises in the form of direct shareholding.

  China’ s National Integrated Circuits Industry Investment Fund, a central government subsidy programme aimed at reducing the country’ s reliance on foreign microchips, wants to raise as much as 200 billion yuan (US$32 billion) in its latest round of funding. The first round of about 140 billion yuan was allocated to more than 20 companies.

  It is reported that China National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund (a government subsidy project aimed at reducing dependence on foreign chips) plans to raise 200 billion RMB in the latest fundraising. The 140 billion yuan raised in the first phase has been invested in more than 20 enterprises.

  The commentary is optimistic that China has enough capital and market to support its own chip industry, and the key lies in a breakthrough:

  China has the capital and the consumer market to support its own chip industry, but the road to get there won’ t be easy. More often than not, a crisis is the best way to achieve a breakthrough – perhaps in a new technology that could make current manufacturing methods obsolete and vault the inventor to No 1 position.

  China has enough capital and consumer market to support its own chip industry, but the road is tortuous. Usually, a crisis may be the best way to find a breakthrough. Perhaps China can develop new technologies and eliminate the current manufacturing methods, so as to jump to the top.

"Extra-curricular books" pay attention to: how to "read good books" in compulsory education?

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 23rd Title: "extra-curricular books" are particular: how to "read good books" in compulsory education?

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  April 23rd is the 28th World Reading Day. The reporter found in interviews in many places that in recent years, especially after the "double reduction", primary and secondary schools have spent more time and more forms in carrying out various reading activities. However, with the "younger age", some teachers and parents also have some concerns about extracurricular reading.

  School reading activities are increasingly rich.

  On March 27th, eight departments, including the Ministry of Education, issued the Implementation Plan of National Youth Students’ Reading Action, proposing that compulsory education schools should incorporate reading action into the "double reduction" work, strictly control the total amount of written homework, create space for students to read, and offer reading activities in after-school services.

  Reading is entering some after-school services in primary and secondary schools. In Songhua River Primary School in Harbin, reading areas have been set up in free corners such as corridors and halls, and each class has set up class book corners and added bookcases to create a strong reading atmosphere.

  "The school has specially set up a reading course, forming a reading course from ‘ Single article ’ To ‘ Whole book ’ , and then to ‘ One kind ’ The curriculum system. " Ma Yongxin, the headmaster of Songhua River Primary School, said that all classes used Friday after-school service hours to set up a sharing stage to let students actively participate in various reading activities, including "I speak for the book", "I walk from the book" and "connect with writers" to stimulate students’ reading interest.

  The reading service system covering all academic periods has been gradually improved. In 2022, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education issued the Guide to the Construction and Management of Reading Space in Primary and Secondary Schools in Guangdong Province, which clearly defined the area and opening hours of primary and secondary school libraries, and proposed that primary and secondary schools should innovate the use of various resources and cultivate reading activity brands with a sense of the times and school characteristics.

  The reporter saw in Junwei Primary School, Huadu District, Guangzhou, that there is a district library borrowing terminal in the school library, and students can share the resources of the district library on campus. As a Red Army primary school with a red history, the school is characterized by "red education" and has specially opened a "red reading" area in the library.

  Various reading activities are constantly emerging. A central primary school in Luwan, Huangpu District, Shanghai has been holding World Reading Day for many years. This year, the theme is "Wandering in the Woods and Reading Tang Poetry". Through various forms of reading activities, students’ interest and perception of Chinese excellent traditional culture are enhanced. “‘ Double subtraction ’ Since then, the number of books borrowed from school libraries has continued to rise, and with the enrichment of reading activities, students’ interest in reading has also expanded, and the categories of books they read have become more balanced. " Wu Xiaofei, a Chinese teacher at the school, said.

  "Extra-curricular books" are particular.

  Although the school reading activities are increasingly rich, in the interview, the reporter also felt the concern of some teachers and parents.

  "Extracurricular reading should be outside the classroom ‘ Supplement ’ However, with the development of information technology, online reading has become an important channel, ‘ Supplement ’ Into a handful of ‘ Double-edged sword ’ . Extracurricular reading itself has the problem of mixed writing, and now with online reading, this problem is more prominent. " Wu Xiaofei said that there are many short essays or "reading a book in one minute" on the Internet, especially on short video platforms. If you get used to this fast-food reading, it may dispel children’s interest and concentration in immersion reading and deep reading.

  A fifth-grade primary school teacher in Beijing told reporters that some students in the class were actually reading the "Redemption of Overbearing President" on the Internet when they were writing their reflections. "At that time, my comment was that I suggested reading more famous articles. Nowadays, children are more likely to get in touch with the Internet and some romance novel websites, and there will be three or five children in the class ‘ Small group ’ Like to watch. At the same time, students’ reading on literary masterpieces is uneven. In a quiz about Four Great Classical Novels some time ago, many students only knew what was said in class, and once they involved extracurricular knowledge, they could not answer it. " The teacher said.

  Some teachers and parents are worried that their children will be impacted by some bad content in online novels before the three views are finalized. Ms. Zhang, a parent of a junior two student in Shanghai, said that some writers not only wrote about campus romances, but also wrote about campus pranks and school bullying in order to attract teenagers’ attention. "For children who are in adolescence, I am worried that these contents will make them feel very interesting and even want to imitate."

  Some primary school students become reading groups of "beauty-obsessed" novels. A fifth-grade teacher in Beijing told reporters that there are children in the class discussing the content of "beauty-seeking" novels in the circle of WeChat friends. The reporter searched on various social platforms and found that at present, "primary school students look at ‘ Long for beauty ’ " There have been many discussions on the Internet, including concerns about the three views of pornographic description and incorrect transmission in some "beauty-obsessed" novels.

  "Today’s online literature often combines suspense, science fiction and emotion. Students will inevitably come into contact with or be attracted by such books on the Internet, and do a good job in selecting and guiding extracurricular reading materials. Schools and parents should guide children to contact books with three views, good temperature, excellent writing style and relaxed and interesting content. The most important thing is to guide children to learn to read with critical thinking and consciousness, absorb the essence and discard the dross, so that children can resist the temptation of external risks. Ability and quality. " Ma Yongxin said.

  Home-school cooperation helps children "read good books"

  According to a survey released by Shanghai Education Association in 2021 in conjunction with universities and third-party scientific and technological teams, 12% of Shanghai primary and middle school students read almost every day, and 6% of them read for more than one hour every day.

  A person in charge who participated in the survey said that the team research found that the bad reading materials and contents on online reading and short video platforms and from the media are more attractive to young people. It is suggested that relevant departments can further strengthen the training of teachers and school librarians, so that they can better guide and assist teenagers in reading, and professional social forces can also play a role in it and participate in a series of work such as courseware making.

  Wu Xiaoyun, a professor at Beijing Normal University, believes that the distinctive features of online reading are shallow reading and fragmentary reading, but students in the mental growth period, especially primary school students and junior high school students, still have to focus on paper books. This is not entirely a habit problem, but also involves the development of basic academic abilities such as reading, writing and arithmetic. Schools and families should encourage more paper reading and deep reading. It is suggested that by improving the book review and publication, as well as a series of mechanisms such as high-quality books entering the campus and bookstores, the books that children can access are as good as possible, and the influence of bad content on children is isolated.

  "Teachers should play a guiding role and work with parents to protect a good environment that helps children read. For parents, many parents may not have read some famous books recommended by the school. If you can read them with your children instead of spending a lot of time on short videos, it will not only encourage children, but also improve parents themselves. " Wu Xiaofei suggested that relevant departments can launch a guiding platform and micro-courses for parent-child reading to provide parents with effective methods for parent-child reading.

  In the era of digital reading, e-books and electronic paper books have become one of the reading habits of many primary and secondary school students. Audio books make children read classic forms more diverse and interesting. Wu Jingjing, vice president of Guangzhou No.5 Middle School, suggested that schools and parents should make good use of these digital resources and do a good job in screening the contents of books, instead of just throwing a tablet computer to their children. Through reading with children and sharing reading experience, we can guide teenagers to read classics and form the reading habit of reading the whole book.

The 4-year-old girl will challenge the Sichuan-Tibet line with her father on foot, and her parents will respond to questions.

China's smallest backpacker — — Four-year-old girl Wen Wen.

China's smallest backpacker — — Four-year-old girl Wen Wen.

  On June 14th, Wenwen, the "smallest backpacker in China" from Shangrao, Jiangxi, came to Chengdu with her father. The picture shows the father and daughter walking on the streets of Rongcheng.

China's smallest backpacker — — Four-year-old girl Wen Wen.

China's smallest backpacker — — Four-year-old girl Wen Wen.

  The 4-year-old girl became the "smallest backpacker in China" and arrived in Chengdu with her father to challenge the Sichuan-Tibet line on foot.

  Tiger dad said, "this difficulty is nothing compared with the challenges she will face in her future life." Nowadays, children in the city live too comfortably, and they have to suffer hardships to know how to cherish and learn to be independent. " Tiger mother said, "I don’t know whether this way is right or not. I just think she should play and feel the world now." Some things can’t be taught by teachers and textbooks. "

  I have never been to kindergarten. I eat wild vegetables and sleep in tents for six or seven months in a year, and walk more than ten kilometers every day … … Recently, a 4-year-old girl from Shangrao, Jiangxi, became "hot" on the Internet.

  This little girl named Wenwen is called "the smallest backpacker in China". She has been hiking with her parents since she was 1 year and 3 months old.

  "In the past two years, we want her to go on like this, and we don’t intend to let her go to kindergarten." This sentence by Wen Wen’s father, Pan Tufeng, in an interview triggered a heated discussion among netizens about children’s education methods.

  On June 13th, Pan Tufeng came to Chengdu with Wenwen, ready to start a two-month hiking trip on the Sichuan-Tibet line. Talking about his "tiger dad education", Pan Tufeng said: "I don’t think I am very strict, and she will encounter more challenges in the future. And it turns out that she is more and more independent and sensible now. "

  Huba education

  The 4-year-old girl who just finished hiking in Shandong walks more than ten kilometers every day.

  On the afternoon of 14th, in a youth hostel in Gengjiaxiang, Chengdu. Wenwen sat alone on the sofa in the hall, staring at the projector, where cartoons were playing.

  With short hair, shorts and sneakers, and dark skin, she looks like a little boy.

  "I have rested at home for more than half a month, and I have been a little white recently. It was even darker when I just came back from Shandong." Pan Tufeng said that Wenwen actually loves beauty and likes to wear skirts at home. "But when you go hiking, you must dress like this, which is convenient." More than a month ago, my father and daughter went to Shandong and spent 20 days hiking and hitchhiking in Jinan, Qingdao and other cities. "This time she was happiest because she went to the seaside." Pan Tufeng said that he preferred to choose poor mountainous areas before hiking, "so that his daughter can get exercise."

  As long as she is on the road, she has to walk for almost five or six hours every day. At the end of the day, Wenwen has to walk more than ten kilometers. This kind of exercise is too much for the average adult, but Pan Tufeng said, "From the age of three, she can do it by herself."

  I am about to challenge the Sichuan-Tibet line and take a hard seat for more than 30 hours to come to Chengdu.

  Just had a rest for more than half a month. On the morning of June 12th, Pan Tufeng took Wenwen from Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, and took a hard seat for more than 30 hours to Chengdu to prepare for the next two months’ hiking trip on the Sichuan-Tibet line.

  Hard seat on the train is Pan Tufeng’s first choice for every trip. "Not only is it economical, but you can also meet all kinds of people along the way. It is very interesting to chat with them." He is not worried that his 4-year-old daughter can’t stand the long journey. On the contrary, he thinks this is the best exercise opportunity for her, and Wenwen seems to be very adapted — — I run and jump in the carriage during the day, and when I am tired, I fall asleep in my seat. "She sleeps well everywhere. I am very happy with this adaptability. The exercise effect has been achieved in recent years."

  In Chengdu, the father and daughter live in a one-bed youth hostel in 30 yuan. "This is a good condition. After hiking, I will inevitably sleep on the side of the road." There is a big backpack in the room, which contains a tent, two sleeping bags, some clothes and toiletries. "Buy some essential medicines and you can go on the road at any time." Pan Tufeng said.

  Next to it is a pink schoolbag, which belongs to Wenwen. "I can help her carry her sleeping bag, but she has to carry her own clothes." Because she is too small, the schoolbag falls below Wenwen’s hip, and the shoulder strap is a little wide. However, Wenwen, who had a schoolbag on her back, did not agree, and started walking around the room happily.

  Father tells

  My daughter started hiking at the age of 1 year and 3 months.

  After a brief rest, the father and daughter will embark on a journey of hiking the Sichuan-Tibet line in these two days. According to the plan, they will arrive in Lhasa in two months. Wenwen’s grandmother once worried that the altitude in Lhasa was too high for her children. However, Pan Tufeng has great confidence in her daughter: "She has been to Yunnan before, and the altitude is similar, so there is no problem."

  Although only 4 years old, Wenwen’s "probation" has been close to 3 years. Both Pan Tufeng and his wife Yuan Duan like hiking. Before that, they ran a small business in their hometown of Jiangxi and started Wechat business in recent years. "So they have more time to accompany their children around."

  When Wenwen was 1 year and 3 months old, she followed her parents to go hiking in Pu ‘er, Yunnan. At that time, she learned to walk for 3 months. On her knees, there is a scar the size of a coin. "It was broken while playing in my hometown. It was a minor injury, nothing, and it was almost as good." Pan Tufeng touched his daughter’s scar and his tone was relaxed. "It’s normal to fall down and blister on her feet during the hiking. She will cry, too, but she still has to walk after crying."

  Sometimes, Wenwen will lose her temper and sit on the ground. At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Pan Tufeng were not as persuasive as ordinary parents, but chose not to care. "You love to go or not, we will go." This trick is very useful, Wenwen will immediately stand up and catch up with small steps. "Children are like this. The more you get used to it, the more delicate it becomes."

  Having said that, Pan Tufeng is not hard-hearted. "We will hold her along the way. As long as her body falls, she will know that she must be sleepy." At this time, he will pick up Wenwen. "As soon as the doll’s head is next to her shoulder, she falls asleep."

  Respond to questions

  Nowadays, children will learn to cherish and learn to be independent if they have to suffer hardships.

  Walk for at least 20 days, and basically choose poor and remote places. Grandma, who has always loved her children, is a little hard to accept this kind of tiger-dad education. "A girl, still so young, is afraid that she can’t bear the pain." After learning about her granddaughter’s hiking last year, Wenwen’s grandmother made it clear that she opposed it.

  However, Pan Tufeng is full of confidence. "This difficulty is nothing compared with the challenges she will face in her future life. Nowadays, children in the city live too comfortably, and they have to suffer hardships to know how to cherish and learn to be independent. "

  Yuan Duan also agrees with her husband’s point of view. One thing impressed her deeply. After going to Guangxi last year and walking 15 kilometers independently, Wenwen got a packet of cookies as a reward. "She knew it was hard to come by and bit by bit. If you are at home, you will not know how to cherish a lot of snacks. "

  Pan Tufeng said, "Wenwen saw some left-behind children dress and eat by themselves, but also helped the family to do farm work. After returning home, she also learned to eat by herself and took the initiative to help us wash the dishes. She was more independent than her three-year-old brother."

  Both Mr. and Mrs. Pan Tufeng graduated from high school. In terms of educating children, they are also slowly groping in practice. "We may spoil our eldest son more, so we pay more attention to cultivating Wenwen’s independence."

  Wawa wants to go to kindergarten.

  But it is more useful for her to cultivate the ability to bear hardships.

  Compared with letting the young daughter walk, what caused more doubts from the outside world was that Pan Tufeng had previously said that "Wenwen was not going to go to kindergarten".

  "Do you want to go to kindergarten?" On June 14, Wen Wen blinked and nodded at the reporter’s inquiry. "Do you like going to kindergarten or going out to play?" "Kindergarten."

  "She also told us that she wanted to go to kindergarten." Mother Yuan Duan said that there is a kindergarten behind the old house. Sometimes Wenwen will silently carry her small schoolbag when she sees other children carrying schoolbags or listening to the music of kindergarten exercises.

  Whenever this happens, Yuan Duan will tell Wenwen that he will take her to more places and meet more children. "I don’t know whether our education method is right or not. I just think she should play and feel the world now. Some things can’t be taught by teachers and textbooks. "

  In contrast, Pan Tufeng is confident in her own education method. "She just thinks it’s fun to go to kindergarten now, but I think it’s more useful for her to exercise her physique and cultivate her ability to bear hardships now. When these things are done, the rest will be simple."

  Dialogue tiger dad

  I hope to cultivate hard-working spirit by hiking.

  On the afternoon of 14th, in the youth hostel where Pan Tufeng’s father and daughter lived, the reporter had a conversation with him — —

  Huaxi Dushi Bao: The child is so young that she has to walk so far in one day. Have you asked her what she thinks?

  Pan Tufeng: Children must like to stay at home comfortably, delicious and delicious. But I prefer to cultivate her hard-working spirit by hiking.

  Huaxi Dushi Bao: Some people think that you impose your preferences on your children. Do you think so?

  Pan Tufeng: I really hope Wenwen can become a travel enthusiast, but I also respect her choices. For example, if she likes singing, she will buy some CDs at home and download her favorite songs on her mobile phone.

  Huaxi Dushi Bao: Without the collective environment of kindergarten, have you considered that it is difficult for children to integrate into the collective in the future?

  Pan Tufeng: It is precisely because she didn’t go to kindergarten that she cherishes the opportunity to get along with children. As soon as I see other children, I will take the initiative to say hello. If there is a conflict between two people, she is often the one who makes up. Now, she gets along well with people of all ages.

  Voices of all parties

  Sports medicine expert: the endurance of children over 4 years old will affect skeletal muscle development.

  Hou Lerong, a professor in the Department of Sports Medicine of Chengdu Institute of Physical Education, said that 4-year-old children, regardless of cardiopulmonary function or the ability of bones, muscles and various organ systems, are not fully developed, which is not enough to bear such exercise. Walking more than 10 kilometers every day has a great influence on lower limbs, which may lead to early calcification of bones and affect height. Muscle strength training, generally after puberty, because children’s muscles can not afford high-intensity exercise.

  In addition, Wenwen’s age is just between the first growth and development peak (0-2 years old) and the second growth and development peak (adolescence), which belongs to the reserve stage and needs enough nutrition. If you stay outdoors for a long time, or live in an irregular state, your nutrition intake will be affected.

  Educational psychologist: Kindergarten education is indispensable. Children should contact their peers more.

  Bai Ling, an expert from Chengdu Applied Psychology Research Association, said that Pan Tufeng’s decision not to let his children go to kindergarten was too extreme and one-sided. From kindergarten to preschool and then to primary school, it is a gradual socialization process for children, so that they can learn self-discipline and self-control. Developmental psychology advocates what to do at what age. Preschool children aged 0 to 6 should have more contact with their peers and learn to get along with others in the process of communication, so that they can better stand in society in the future. If separated from group life, children’s interpersonal skills may be lacking.

  Liu Xia, a national second-level psychological counselor and education expert, has reservations about this. She believes that this kind of education requires parents to have good comprehensive quality and be good at guiding and educating children. Parents should teach their children their outlook on life, world outlook and values through words and deeds in the process of taking their children hiking, but they must let them accept it naturally and willingly. If you just impose it blindly, it will only be counterproductive. In addition, since the child wants to go to kindergarten, it means that Pan Tufeng’s education method does not meet the needs of children’s growth, and parents may need to adjust it.

  First comment

  Send blessings, but don’t imitate them easily

  Zhu Changjun’s education methods of "tiger father" and "tiger mother" vary from place to place. Wenwen, a 4-year-old girl from Jiangxi Province, has become "the smallest backpacker in China", which can be regarded as the latest form of expression.

  For the time being, no matter how this way will affect Wenwen’s future. I started hiking when I was over one year old, and walked more than ten kilometers every day when I was four years old. Whether this "runaway" is conducive to the normal development of Wenwen’s body is an unknown question. As a hiker, "tiger parents and tiger mothers" shape their daughters with this kind of physical education, which is obviously suspected of "imposing hobbies".

  It is true that parents have some natural "authority" in front of their children, but this kind of education is obviously out of place in terms of the concept and mode of modern education, and its "adventure" side can not be ignored.

  Perhaps, as the "tiger parents" gave in response to outside questions, some things can’t be taught by teachers and textbooks, so other ways are needed to make up for them. However, can the "contradiction" between "reading thousands of books" and "walking Wan Li Road" really only be resolved in this extreme way?

  It is not difficult to see from the appellation of "tiger parents and tiger mothers" that this kind of education mode has a strong case color compared with the traditional education mode of ordinary parents, and it is difficult to summarize, copy and popularize things regularly. Therefore, in this regard, we can only wish that this "experiment" between Wenwen and her parents can be successful, or it will not cost too much. At the same time, we should also remind more parents not to imitate easily.

  In addition, under the background of more and more "experiments" of "tiger parents" education, such a question should be paid attention to: What is the reasonable limit for parents to choose their children’s education methods? For example, should we ensure that it does not conflict with the normal rights and interests protection of minors?

  What do you think of the education methods of tiger parents?

  The 4-year-old girl doesn’t go to kindergarten. She travels with her parents on foot, eats wild vegetables and sleeps in tents for more than ten kilometers every day, becoming the "smallest backpacker in China". Do you agree with the "tiger parents’ education" and what do you think?

    Strong winds and snowstorms hit Tibet. The reporter learned from the Xizang Autonomous Region Meteorological Bureau that there was a 37.5-mm snowstorm in Nyalam on the evening of March 1, which caused the snow depth in Nyalam to reach 69 cm. As of March 4, the depth of snow has remained above 58 cm for one month. There are 8-9 strong winds in northern Tibet and southern marginal areas during the week.


    The maximum wind force of Yantai storm surge is 13.


    From the night of the 3rd to the 5th, there was heavy rain, strong wind and cooling weather in Yantai. In the storm surge, Yantai suffered the biggest storm surge in 38 years. According to statistics, on the night of the 4th, an island named "Daqin Island" in Yantai had a maximum gust of 13. This is also the strongest gale process in Yantai since it was clearly recorded in 1971.


    ■ Rescue


    74 people were rescued in Yingkou Yantai and 3 others were missing.


    The First Rescue Flying Team of Beihai, Ministry of Communications, rescued six fishermen in distress in Yingkou waters of Liaoning Province from the storm surge on March 5.


    According to reports, at 11: 51, three fishing boats were in distress outside Yingkou Port, Liaoning Province, with a total of nine people on board. The professional rescue helicopter of Beihai First Rescue Flying Team took off for rescue, rescued 6 people, and 3 fishermen were still missing.


    In addition, six ships in Yantai sea area were in danger, and all 68 people in distress escaped from danger, including 20 crew members from Pakistan, Malaysia and other countries.


    ■ Interpretation of causes


    Frequent extreme weather and global warming are the main reasons.


    Experts from the Central Meteorological Observatory said that the strong warm and humid airflow encountered active cold air and extreme weather occurred; Some experts also said that it has nothing to do with warm winter.


    After the second warmest winter in more than 50 years, most parts of northern China have experienced a large-scale snowfall that is rare all the year round, and the coastal waters have also encountered a storm surge that comes once in decades.


    Meteorologists said that in recent years, affected by global warming, some extreme weather and climate events are appearing frequently.


    Xu Liangyan, a senior engineer at the National Climate Center of China Meteorological Bureau, said that warm winters mainly appeared in the context of global warming. In this case, some extreme weather and climate events are prone to occur. According to meteorologists, the intensity of this snowfall is rare in the same period of several decades. This is mainly because the warm and humid airflow is relatively strong after the warm winter, and the cold air is relatively active recently. The combined effect of cold and warm airflow has led to a large-scale snowfall in the northern region.


    In addition, the biggest storm surge since 1969 began in the coastal waters of China on the 3rd night. Huang Bin, a marine forecaster of China Meteorological Bureau, said that such a large-scale storm surge rarely appeared in the spring. The storm surge was caused by the temperate cyclone, that is, the cold current, and it coincided with the astronomical tide, so the sea level rose abnormally.


    However, some meteorologists said that the frequent foggy weather in February and the drought in some areas could not be regarded as extreme weather and climate events. Han Jiangwen, chief forecaster of Shenyang Central Meteorological Observatory, said that the snowstorm in Liaoning is an extreme weather, which is not directly related to the warm winter weather, but is formed by the superposition of various meteorological factors.


    ■ countermeasures


    Some primary and secondary schools in the three northeastern provinces are closed, and social vehicles in Shenyang are restricted to single and even numbers.


    Large-scale snowfall since March 4 has affected the normal teaching of some primary and secondary schools in Jilin Province. At present, the school buildings in some areas have been damaged in the snowstorm, and the education departments in some cities have issued urgent notices to suspend classes in primary and secondary schools to prevent students from accidents.


    The reporter learned from the Education Bureau of Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province that since the snowstorm, the Meteorological Observatory of Heilongjiang Province and the Meteorological Department of Mudanjiang City have successively issued the red warning signal of snowstorm in Mudanjiang area, in order to avoid the impact of snowstorm on school teaching and student safety, all primary and secondary schools in this city will have a holiday from the afternoon of the 5th.


    Primary and secondary school students in Shenyang and Dalian, Liaoning Province continued to suspend classes. With the consent of the Shenyang Municipal People’s Government, all primary and secondary school students in Shenyang continued to suspend classes due to the snowstorm on the 6th. Due to the strong wind in Dalian, 550,000 junior high school and primary school students in Dalian continued to suspend classes on the 6th, and 230,000 senior high school and vocational school students resumed classes.


    In addition, in order to ensure the smooth progress of snow removal after the heavy snowstorm in Shenyang and restore the normal order of urban road traffic in Shenyang as soon as possible, the emergency command center of Shenyang Municipal Government issued the fourth emergency announcement at 19: 00 on the 5th. The announcement requires social vehicles to implement single and double number restrictions on the 6 th and 7 th.


    ■ Emergency response


    150 delayed passenger trains resumed 48 hours, and the Ministry of Railways and other departments launched emergency plans to actively fight disasters.


    After the blizzard hit, various departments at the national and local levels took measures to deal with the serious impact of the snowstorm.


    According to reports, in the face of the sudden severe snowstorm, the railway department immediately launched an emergency plan in bad weather and strictly implemented the driving methods in bad weather to ensure the safety of trains, especially passenger trains. Liu Zhijun, Minister of the Ministry of Railways, was on duty at the Transportation Command and Dispatch Center of the Ministry of Railways all night.


    The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Railways said that under the day-and-night fighting and strong organization of the railway department, many railway trunk lines are currently safe and smooth. The 150 passenger trains delayed by the snowstorm will be resumed within 48 hours.


    Affected by the heavy snowfall in North China and Northeast China, the operation of some airports of civil aviation in these two areas has been seriously affected. From March 4th, the Civil Aviation Administration of China launched an emergency plan and actively took measures to deal with the impact of heavy snowfall.


    The reporter learned from Northeast Power Grid Co., Ltd. on the 5th that the sudden heavy snowfall and windy weather seriously affected the stable operation of Northeast Power Grid, and four 500 kV lines were blacked out successively. Northeast power grid quickly launched an emergency plan and repaired it day and night. By 17: 00, most of the damaged lines had resumed power transmission, and the power grid was running smoothly. Some areas in Dalian, which were seriously damaged, still took load limiting measures and continued to repair.

Why is football the first sport in the world? Tell you four reasons.

Diego maradona

Early this morning, the Argentine football player known as the "hand of God"Diego Diego Maradona.He died of cardiac arrest, and the media all over the world reported that countless fans posted articles on social media to mourn the "King of the Ball".Diego Maradona.

In today’s single sports events in the world, football is the most popular sport and the craziest one. Why is football called the first sport in the world?

Take the World Cup as an example:

The participating countries of the World Cup are all over the world, and football teams from more than 200 countries compete for the qualification to enter the finals (only 32 teams and 736 players were selected in the final). Every game is full of audiences, and its ratings, broadcasting fees, sponsors, advertising revenue and peripheral products have exceeded the scale of the Olympic Games.

There are at least four reasons why football is called the first sport in the world:

(A) the entry threshold is very low

Image source: Xinhua News Agency

Football has very low requirements for venues, equipment and equipment. For example, many world-class stars come from poor areas in South America and Africa, so they can easily participate in this sport in economically backward countries or poor families. In professional football fields, dirt floors and streets, you can have fun as long as there is an open space! I still remember when I was a child, after school, several classmates found an open space and used schoolbags as goals. Several people agreed on the rules and didn’t need referees, so they could have a great time.

(2) The requirements for body shape are not high.

Generally speaking, if a sport wants to be a top athlete, congenital conditions are very important. Although the acquired efforts can make up for some congenital deficiencies, in the fierce sports competition, the actual effect is very limited, so many sports keep many people out for this reason. However, football doesn’t require high body shape. There is a saying in the industry that "if you can’t play football with a sense of accomplishment, never blame yourself for being inferior to others."

In football, tall players have long legs and great strength, and are not easy to be pushed down due to collision. Short players react quickly, which is beneficial to dribbling and shuttling and has the advantage of possession of the ball.

Therefore, in football, becoming a top star requires personal physical fitness, personal skills, personal psychological quality, teamwork, tactical strategy, organizational system and other conditions; Take one’s physical fitness as an example. It requires both speed and endurance, and it requires both footwork and footwork.

(3) Actively participate in all countries, big or small.

Basketball and volleyball, among the three major balls in the world, are usually played by a few fixed countries in international competitions. Football, on the other hand, is different. No matter big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor countries actively participate in international competitions.

For example, the Asian island country Maldives, with a population of less than 300,000, even lost to Iran 0-17 in a World Cup, setting a record for the biggest score gap in an event, but it did not affect the country’s love for this sport at all.

(4) A game that keeps people hopeful forever.

For example, in the World Cup, when team A wins team B and team B wins team C, the logical final result should be that team A wins team C, but the result of football match is not like this, and the reversal of team C winning team A often occurs. In the 2018 World Cup group match, Group F: Mexico wins Germany, Germany wins Sweden, and Sweden wins Mexico; Group H: Japan wins Colombia, Colombia wins Poland, and Poland wins Japan in turn. Therefore, the football match is a game that people will always have hope.

Missed the Olympic Games, China Women’s Football Team 2023 got three sap.

Reporter Wang Wei reports On the evening of November 1st, China women’s football team ushered in the second stage of the Paris Olympic preliminaries in Xiamen. The 1-1 result resulted in neither China nor South Korea qualifying. This is also the second time that China women’s football team missed the final stage of the Olympic Games after missing the 2012 London Olympic Games. After the game, China women’s football team Wang Shanshan, Dou Jiaxing and other players shed tears on the court. Without the Paris Olympic Games, China women’s football team failed to achieve their goals in the 2023 Women’s World Cup, Hangzhou Asian Games and Paris Olympic preliminaries.

Before the battle of life and death, the AFC held the 2022 annual award ceremony, and Shui Qingxia won the title of the best women’s football coach in 2022-in recognition of her leading the team to win the 2022 women’s Asian Cup. But this honor is more like an invisible pressure for the women’s football team in China, last stand in the final round of the group stage. In addition, before the match, the Filipino women’s football team ranked second in Group A had already scored 6 points. On the evening of November 1st, the confrontation between Chinese and Korean women’s football teams became a "life-and-death battle". No matter whether it was the China women’s football team with 3 points or the Korean women’s football team with 4 points, only the winner had a chance to advance.

In this game, Shui Qingxia used Liu Yanqiu as the right avant-garde in the starting lineup, which is a big change. However, Yan Jinjin, who scored in both games before the Olympic preliminaries, was put on the bench. Obviously, Shui Qingxia still wanted to leave the back hand at the end.

In the first half, there were not many opportunities for the two teams. Uyghur Gumula once scored a goal for the China women’s football team, but Wu Chengshu’s offside goal was invalid. On the other hand, South Korean women’s football relies more on the 16-year-old mixed-race teenager Cathy Fair to make a killing in the frontcourt. Her breakthrough in the first half of stoppage time created a killing for veteran Chi Xiaoran, who surprised the China women’s football team with a cold sweat when she hit the post.

In the second half, it was still the Korean women’s football team that took the lead in rewriting the score. In the 61st minute, they took advantage of the free kick and Chi Xiaoran assisted Shen Yi to grab the header and then broke the deadlock. China women’s football team was forced to die. It wasn’t until the 70th minute that Shui Qingxia finally took a chance and put on Wang Linlin, the central defender, and pushed the captain Wang Shanshan to the front line. The change was immediate. In the 78th minute, China women’s football team used a free kick to equalize the score. Yan Jinjin passed the ball into the penalty area and Wang Shanshan headed the ball to score a beautiful goal.

However, the score of 1-1 was not enough for both China and South China. In the 84th minute, the women’s football team made a beautiful left-wing counterattack, and Yan Jinjin received a pass from her teammates on the right to form a single-handed trend. Unfortunately, her final shot missed the post. In the end, after five minutes of stoppage time, the China women’s football team and the Korean women’s football team drew 1-1, and both teams missed the third stage of the Paris Olympic preliminaries. Japan, Australia, North Korea and Uzbekistan (the best group is second) entered the third stage of the competition, and they will compete for the last two tickets to the Paris Olympic Games.


For China women’s football team, there are three major events this year, among which the first event failed to qualify for the Women’s World Cup group match, setting the worst result in the history of China women’s football team participating in the World Cup; Hangzhou Asian Games only won the bronze medal when Japanese women’s football team and Korean women’s football team didn’t send the strongest team to participate, which didn’t meet the expectations of the outside world. This time, the exit from the Paris Olympic preliminaries failed to extend the hope to the third stage-three sap notes, which means that China women’s football team failed to achieve the expected goals in all three major competitions this year.

The elimination of the Paris Olympic preliminaries means that the China women’s football team will have no major competition to play in the next year or two. Shui Qingxia took over as the head coach of China women’s football team after the Tokyo Olympic Games, but now she has missed the Paris Olympic Games, and a complete cycle of leading this coaching team has ended.

In this Olympic preliminaries, China women’s football team did encounter many difficulties, including Shoupeng Wang’s injury and Tang Jiali’s failure to return to the team, and Zhang Linyan’s state failed to reach the best because of some injuries. Another player studying abroad, Wu Chengshu, missed the match against Thailand because of a fever, and Li Mengwen failed to register for the match against South Korea because of injury. Because of her poor record, some tactical arrangements and personnel arrangements of Shui Qingxia have naturally been questioned by some outside voices.

After the game, some media asked Shui Qingxia whether she would continue to lead the women’s football team in China. Shui Qingxia responded: "We didn’t achieve the original goal in terms of results alone, but more young people can get exercise through the game, and we can really see that China women’s football team can do better in terms of skills and tactics besides spirit, and we can find the right way in the process of failure in the future. This is ok. As for the future, I’m not sure now. In any case, I hope that the women’s football team in China will get better and better. I hope that these girls will really enjoy the happiness brought by football on the football field and hope that they will get better and better in the future. "

After the game, Shui Qingxia talked about the preparation of the team and the topic of players studying abroad. "After training in Xiamen, I learned that overseas players came back late. I am still worried about their physical fitness, including recovery and jet lag. I will play the game two days after returning. There must be many people asking, since you have so many worries, why did you call them back? China Football Association has been encouraging more young players to go out, not just to go out, hoping that more players will gain experience and serve the motherland in the future. Personally, I am very supportive from the beginning to the present. I hope that our players will go out and see the outside world, what advantages and shortcomings they have, and see how football is played in European countries. " Shui Qingxia said.

Shui Qingxia also took the initiative to talk about Tang Jiali, who was not selected for the national team this time. "I have always supported studying abroad. Maybe many people care about Tang Jiali’s problem. She is also one of the overseas players. She is a good player. We have been communicating before, including her trip from Shanghai to Spain, including her performance in the league. She is a very powerful player. I hope she can maintain a good competitive level through the Spanish league and have the opportunity to serve her motherland and return to the team."

China women’s football team failed in the World Cup, the Asian Games and the Paris Olympic preliminaries, which made the women’s football girls very sad. After the game, Shui Qingxia hugged each team member. Wang Shanshan, captain of the China women’s football team, shed tears on the field. "In fact, we played very well in today’s game. In the future, I hope more young people can get up and carry forward the spirit of women’s football in China and never give up."

"I’m sorry that I didn’t win today’s game, which means that I can’t enter the Olympic Games in the following games. The players performed very well in today’s game, including the fighting style. The players really tried their best in this game, and I am especially grateful to the players. " Shui Qingxia apologized after the Olympic preliminaries.

At the same time, she said: "From the heart, I am quite sad. I feel sorry for these girls, because everyone has been struggling since the beginning of this year, and the women’s football team in China has its highlights. We have also seen many technical and tactical gaps and deficiencies. In fact, we are trying to adjust and change every day. From now on, the change is not good enough or fast enough. Our team members also tried their best, and I am very grateful to my team members and thank my team. "

Throughout 2023, women’s football competitions in China have been held one after another. It can’t be said that the team doesn’t work hard, but the dilemma of weak foundation and unclear direction can’t be changed in a day or two. Regarding the future of China women’s football team, Shui Qingxia said after the game: "Everyone has seen the World Cup, the Asian Games and the Olympic preliminaries. In fact, there is a big gap between us, especially in youth training, which is an important direction for future development. We don’t have any big competitions in the next two years, but if we are soberly aware of the gaps and shortcomings and calm down to deal with some details, I think the China women’s football team will go in the right direction. "

  Reader’s Digest magazine in the United States summarized five parts that should not be sprayed with perfume.

  1. Eye area. Perfume contains alcohol, some even as high as 95%. The skin around the eyes is very sensitive, and it is easy to cause a stimulating reaction after touching the perfume containing alcohol.

  2. hair. Although hair can naturally absorb odor, perfume containing alcohol will dry hair, especially if it is sprayed directly on hair. It is recommended to spray a small amount of perfume on the comb before combing your hair, so as to reduce the damage to your hair.

  3. hands. Perfume containing alcohol will dry the skin of hands and may cause chapping. Moreover, after the perfume is sprayed on the hands, it happens to rub the eyes, which will also stimulate the eyes.

  4. Axillary. Many people care about the smell of their armpits, but perfume will affect the normal operation of sweat glands in armpits, causing itching and burning pain, and may make the smell worse.

  The most suitable place to wear perfume is the part with active pulse, including the wrist, neck and the back of the knee. Spraying perfume in these heat-emitting areas is not easy to cause irritation to the skin. Skin sensitive person is best sprayed on clothes, perfume does not directly contact the body, and the fragrance lasts longer.

  There are eight measures to reduce swelling in eyes: eat less salt, apply cucumber and put a pillow … …

  American Reader’s Digest magazine summarized several methods to reduce eye swelling.

  1. Eye drops. Eye swelling is sometimes caused by allergies, and over-the-counter eye drops and antihistamines can be used. Antihistamines have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, which can resist histamine released in allergic reactions.

  2. Change your diet. The most important thing in diet is to limit the intake of salt and alcohol. Regular consumption of colorful vegetables and foods rich in potassium (such as cabbage, cucumber, carrot, tomato and banana) can also eliminate swelling.

  3. Frozen spoon. Put two spoons in the refrigerator during the day and buckle them on your eyes at night. Doing so can cool the area around the eyes and play a role in reducing swelling.

  4. Apply wet wipes. Soak wet wipes in a mixture of cucumber water, lemon juice and green tea, and then put them in the refrigerator. After a few hours, take it out of the refrigerator, fold the wet towel and put it on your eyes for cold compress.

  5. Apply egg white. Break the egg, take out the egg white, leave it for a while until the egg white is slightly solidified, then carefully apply the liquid under your eyes with a brush, keep it for 5~10 minutes, and then wash it with warm water.

  6. Cucumber slices. Cucumber contains natural ascorbic acid and caffeic acid, which can reduce water retention. It also contains mild astringents, natural antioxidants and flavonoids, which can reduce inflammation. Iced cucumber slices have a better effect on reducing eye swelling.

  7. Apply tea bags. Apply two packs of iced tea bags to your eyes for 5~10 minutes. Antioxidants, tannins and caffeine in tea help to constrict blood vessels and tighten the skin.

  8. Cushion the pillow when sleeping. When sleeping at night, the pillow is raised to make the head the highest part of the body, which helps to reduce eye swelling.

  Why do you cough when you are stressed?

  Have you ever been nervous and kept coughing, cleared your throat repeatedly and still felt uncomfortable? This cough may be caused by psychological stress. Japan’s "Vitality Gate" website explains why.

  When sputum and other secretions are accumulated in the respiratory tract, or foreign bodies such as dust and dirt are inhaled, the passage of air into the lungs is blocked, and the sensor on the surface of the respiratory tract will report it to the brain after sensing it. The brain sends out the command of "cough" in order to expel the foreign body from the respiratory tract in time. It can be said that coughing is a "defensive" action to ensure the quality of human breathing. When we feel stressed, the autonomic nerves (sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves) in the body become active. The activity of sympathetic nerve leads to the relaxation of blood vessels and respiratory tract, and the pulse becomes faster; Parasympathetic nerves play a reverse inhibitory role, helping the body to restore its normal running rhythm. Once the stress is not relieved, the work balance of autonomic nerves will be disturbed, and the influence of parasympathetic nerves will often dominate. At this time, due to the narrowing of respiratory tract contraction, it becomes particularly sensitive to "foreign bodies" that are not usually felt, and it is necessary to cough them up. This is why I like to cough when I am nervous.

  Although a few coughs can temporarily relieve stress, if it is a habitual cough, it may also lead to some serious diseases if it is left unchecked. Some people usually have the habit of clearing their throats frequently, and feel that there is always a foreign body sensation in their throats. In this case, in addition to considering the psychological system factors, it is suggested that doctors should be consulted in time to check whether there are allergies, infections and other problems.

  Sleep soundly at chess at night.

  Britain’s "Top Health Network" published an article, summarizing three best methods that can make the brain have a good rest — — Playing chess, dancing and doing handicrafts.

  Play chess. Playing chess not only exercises the mind and pleases the body and mind, but also helps to cultivate people’s patience and carefulness, soothe the brain and give them a full rest. The study found that playing chess with the brain seems to increase the burden on the brain. In fact, playing chess not only uses the left brain, but also uses both the left and right brains. You don’t need to concentrate too much on playing chess, let alone rack your brains. The process of playing chess will make brain neurons connect faster, thus relieving anxiety, relaxing, prolonging attention duration and enhancing self-confidence.

  Dance. Dancing can not only keep healthy, but also improve sleep. Dancing with your body can put aside all your troubles, and living in the present will give your brain a full rest. Whether it is solo dancing in the living room or group dancing in the square, it can make the brain empty of distractions and be more beneficial to sleep. Dancing with beautiful music can also increase the secretion of calming and comfortable endorphins, make the brain calm down faster, and also help improve the quality of sleep.

  Do manual work. Mihaly csikszentmihalyi, a psychologist at Clairmont Research University in the United States, said that living in "flow" (completely focusing on a creative task) is the secret to a happy life. Weaving, bonsai, sewing and other creative and repetitive manual crafts have therapeutic effects on the brain and give it a perfect rest. Don’t worry about being a novice, because the process of manual creation, like many other activities, will bring you positive motivation and let your brain rest in a way similar to "meditation" or sleep.
