The original Country Garden lost 50 billion yuan in half a year. In addition to the Yang Huiyan family, there are two major families in Hong Kong.

After Evergrande fell, Country Garden couldn’t hold on. Country Garden, a mine that many people can’t think of, came to expect the unexpected. Country Garden was still denying rumors before, but I didn’t expect that Country Garden suddenly came out and said that it had encountered the biggest difficulty after the company was established. The latest news is that 11 domestic bonds of Country Garden have been suspended.

Country Garden also released a data, that is, the estimated loss in the first half of 2023 is as high as 50 billion. Now the market value of Country Garden has fallen to more than 20 billion, and at its peak, the market value of Country Garden exceeded 200 billion. According to the current situation, the next trend is still unclear.

The huge losses made Country Garden’s shares and debts double-kill, and the major shareholder Yang Huiyan’s family also suffered heavy losses. Country Garden’s market value plummeted, causing the value of their stocks to plummet. However, many people can’t imagine that besides the Yang Huiyan family, there are actually two Hong Kong families, one is the Lee Shau Kee family, and the other is the Zheng Yutong family.

Country Garden was listed in 2007, and Lee Shau Kee, Zheng Yutong, Guo Henian and other Hong Kong tycoons all joined the company. This is why the market value of Country Garden can reach more than 130 billion when it was listed. Lee Shau Kee’s private investment in that year was 1 billion.

Zheng Yutong’s investment is not as bad. In those years, Hong Kong bosses frequently invested in mainland companies, and Zheng Yutong also cooperated with Liu Luanxiong and Zhang Songqiao to invest in Evergrande.

In 2014, Lee Shau Kee also bought $250 million in Country Garden bonds at one time. Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong have a good personal relationship with Yang Guoqiang, the founder of Country Garden. They are both from Shunde. Lee Shau Kee and Yang Guoqiang once built a charity project together in Shenzhen.

I don’t know whether the two families, Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong, still hold shares in Country Garden. If they still do, then this time it’s really a loss. Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong, of course, the strength of the two families is very strong, even if the loss of 1.8 billion is not too big a problem.

Lee Shau Kee, together with Zheng Yutong, is known as the four richest people in Hong Kong. They have been on par with Li Ka-shing for many years. The strength of Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong is actually greatly underestimated. Their assets on the wealth list are only $20 billion to $30 billion. But in fact, their real strength is far more than that.

Lee Shau Kee controls six listed companies, of which Henderson Land’s total assets exceed 500 billion, and the company’s liabilities are less than 200 billion, which means the company’s net assets exceed 300 billion. Among these assets of more than 500 billion, there are more than 260 billion investment properties, with which billions of rents can be collected every year.

That is to say, even if Lee Shau Kee no longer develops real estate projects, it will only rely on rent collection, and there will be billions of rents every year. Rent collection is almost the best business in the world, because the risk is very small, and the drought and flood guarantee the harvest.

Henderson Land is also one of the four major real estate companies in Hong Kong. The best office building international financial center in Hong Kong was jointly developed by Lee Shau Kee, Sun Hung Kai and Hong Kong Metro. Lee Shau Kee holds more than 40% of the rights and interests in this building, and this part of the rights and interests alone can collect 23 billion yuan in rent every year.

In addition, Lee Shau Kee also controlled China Gas, the only natural gas company in Hong Kong. The company’s annual profit is also 6.7 billion, and the profit is very stable. The natural gas in Hong Kong is controlled by China Gas. At the same time, Ganghua Gas, a subsidiary of China Gas, also controls the natural gas business in dozens of cities in the Mainland. Lee Shau Kee also has a huge private investment fund. In 2013, he revealed that his fund had more than 130 billion assets. When Lee Shau Kee established this fund, it injected 50 billion yuan.

Zheng Yutong is also greatly underestimated. Zheng Yutong married Zhou Cuiying, the daughter of Chow Tai Fook’s boss Zhou Zhiyuan, and then he took over Chow Tai Fook. But at that time, Chow Tai Fook was just a gold shop. Later, Zheng Yutong developed Chow Tai Fook to Hongkong, and reformed Chow Tai Fook with modern company operation mode, which achieved great success.

In the 1950s, Zheng Yutong established New World Real Estate and began to develop its real estate business in Hong Kong. With the development of Hong Kong real estate in the 1960s, New World was successfully listed in 1972.

From 1970s to 1980s, Zheng Yutong’s strength developed rapidly. On the one hand, he vigorously developed real estate, on the other hand, he vigorously developed jewelry business, and his career was in full swing.

In the middle and late 1980s, Zheng Yutong, Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee and others had been called the four richest people in Hong Kong. Zheng Yutong himself died in 2016, and now his career is inherited by his grandson Zheng Zhigang. Not long ago, Zheng Zhigang took out more than 30 billion yuan at one time and privatized the new creation. This more than 30 billion is real money taken out from their family, which also shows the strength of their family. Even if we lose some money in Country Garden, it will be too big a problem for Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong family. But not for the Yang Guoqiang family.

The minimum down payment of the first suite is 15%, and the lower limit of the national mortgage interest rate is cancelled. How will the portfolio policy change in the real estate market?

On May 17, the central bank and the General Administration of Financial Supervision successively issued three policies, announcing that the minimum down payment ratio of the first set of housing personal housing loans should be no less than 15%, and the second set should be no less than 25%; Reduce the interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans by 0.25 percentage points; And cancel the lower limit of the interest rate policy for commercial personal housing loans for the first and second homes at the national level.

Ma Hong, a senior researcher at Guangkai Chief Industry Research Institute, pointed out that the last time the interest rate of housing provident fund loans was lowered was in October 2022; Reduce the minimum down payment ratio to August 31, 2023. In view of the housing loan interest rate and down payment ratio, the regulatory authorities released a positive signal of stabilizing the property market by means of policy "combination boxing", providing more preferential policies for buyers, hoping to lower the purchase cost and better meet the rigid and improved housing demand by lowering the purchase threshold.

On the same day, a nationwide video conference was held in Beijing. He Lifeng, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, pointed out that relevant local governments should proceed from reality and properly dispose of the sold idle stock of residential land by means of recovery and acquisition as appropriate, so as to help housing enterprises with financial difficulties solve their difficulties. In cities with a large inventory of commercial housing, the government can order and purchase some commercial housing at a reasonable price as appropriate for affordable housing.

The industry believes that a series of new policies will help the transformation of commercial housing nationwide, which is expected to accelerate the operation of the domestic commercial housing market in the direction of balance between supply and demand and promote the stable and healthy operation of the real estate market.

The down payment ratio of the first suite is lowered to not less than 15%

On May 17th, the People’s Bank of China and the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau issued a notice on the policy of adjusting the minimum down payment ratio of individual housing loans.For households with loans to purchase commercial housing, the minimum down payment ratio of the first set of commercial personal housing loans is adjusted to not less than 15%, and the minimum down payment ratio of the second set of commercial personal housing loans is adjusted to not less than 25%.

On this basis, the provincial branches of the People’s Bank of China and the dispatched offices of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau independently determine the lower limit of the minimum down payment ratio of the first and second sets of commercial personal housing loans in each city under their jurisdiction according to the regulation requirements of the city government and the principle of making policies according to the city.

Chen Wenjing, director of market research of the Central Finger Research Institute, pointed out that after this policy adjustment, the down payment ratio of the first set of housing was reduced to not less than 15%, and that of the second set of housing was not less than 25%, down by 5 percentage points respectively. At present, many places in the country have reduced the down payment ratio to 20% and the second set to 30%. Only a few cities have a higher down payment ratio. For example, the first set of down payment ratios in first-tier cities are all 30%, and the second set ranges from 40% to 50%. After the central bank lowered the lower limit of the down payment ratio, it is expected that more cities will follow suit, and there is room and expectation in first-tier cities to further lower the threshold for home buyers.

Yan Yuejin, research director of Yiju Research Institute, pointed out that the down payment ratio of mortgage has been reduced to 15%, which is the lowest down payment ratio in history, and it is also the most relaxed policy among various housing purchase policies in recent years, indicating that the national level attaches great importance to destocking and supporting reasonable housing consumption demand, which is of great significance to the promotion of mortgage, the rapid release and large-scale release of just-needed and improved housing.

Cancel the lower limit of mortgage interest rate at the national level

On the same day, the People’s Bank of China issued a notice on adjusting the interest rate policy of commercial individual housing loans.Cancel the lower limit of the national commercial personal housing loan interest rate policy for the first and second homes.

The provincial branches of the People’s Bank of China shall guide the self-discipline mechanism of interest rate pricing in provincial markets according to the principle of making policy according to the city, and independently determine whether to set the lower limit and the lower limit level of commercial personal housing loan interest rate in cities within their respective jurisdictions according to the real estate market situation of cities and the regulatory requirements of local governments.

Chen Wenjing pointed out that the lower limit of the interest rate policy for the first and second home loans at the national level should be abolished, and the right to regulate the lower limit of the mortgage interest rate should be given to local governments. Previously, the lower limit of the interest rate of the first and second home loans was LPR-20BP for more than five years and LPR+20BP(4 for more than five years respectively (LPR was 3.95% for more than five years in April), and the lower limit of the interest rate of the first home loan could be cancelled in stages in cities where the price of new houses fell for three consecutive months year-on-year.

According to the data released by the central bank, as of the end of March, among the 343 cities (prefecture level and above) in China, 75 lowered the lower limit of the first home loan interest rate and 64 cancelled the lower limit.

According to the monitoring of the Central Finger Research Institute, Super 20 City announced that the lower limit of the first home loan interest rate will be phased out from April; In May, Nanjing and Hefei successively announced the cancellation of the lower limit of the first home loan interest rate. At present, some banks in some cities have implemented the interest rate of the first home loan at around 3.1%. This time, the central bank canceled the lower limit of the national mortgage interest rate, and the policy benefits extended to the second suite. It is expected that more cities will lower the mortgage interest rate, and the room for lowering the mortgage interest rate in first-tier and core second-tier cities is also expected to open.

Reduce the interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans by 0.25 percentage points.

Another policy concerns provident fund loans.

The People’s Bank of China issued a notice on lowering the interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans. Since May 18, 2024,The interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans will be lowered by 0.25 percentage points, and the interest rates of the first set of individual housing provident fund loans for less than 5 years (including 5 years) and more than 5 years will be adjusted to 2.35% and 2.85% respectively.The interest rates of the second set of personal housing provident fund loans for less than 5 years (including 5 years) and more than 5 years are adjusted to not less than 2.775% and 3.325% respectively.

Wang Xiaoyu, chief analyst of Zhuge Data Research Center, pointed out that lowering the interest rate of individual housing provident fund loans will enable more employees with stable employment to buy houses at lower cost, enhance their purchasing ability and stimulate employees with stable employment to enter the market.

De-stocking and Implementing the Mode of "Purchasing on behalf of the Agent"

According to Xinhua News Agency, a nationwide video conference was held in Beijing on the 17th. He Lifeng, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, attended the conference and delivered a speech.

He Lifeng pointed out that,Relevant local governments should proceed from reality and properly dispose of the sold idle residential land by means of recovery and acquisition as appropriate, so as to help housing enterprises with financial difficulties solve their difficulties. In cities with a large inventory of commercial housing, the government can order and purchase some commercial housing at a reasonable price as appropriate for affordable housing.

Yan Yuejin said that the core point of this policy can be summarized as "purchasing on behalf of the agent". This model responds to the previous central government’s "policies and measures to study and digest existing houses and optimize incremental housing", which combines the acquisition and digestion of existing houses with the new construction of affordable housing. It is in line with the market rules and has a very good orientation to organically combine the work of destocking and real estate projects. Recently, including the purchase of housing in Lin ‘an, Hangzhou as public rental housing and the purchase of housing in Dali, Yunnan as guaranteed rental housing, it has a positive effect on digesting the stock and supplementing the increment.

Wang Xiaotong believes that this policy is closely related to the problems in the current real estate market. From the perspective of decontamination, the decontamination cycle of commercial housing reached a new high this year. According to the monitoring data of Zhuge Data Research Center, the decontamination cycle in April was 18 months, which was 0.8 months longer than last month. At present, the destocking pressure in the new housing market has reached a high point. The government’s purchase of commercial housing as an affordable housing to ensure the removal of commercial housing also has a certain positive effect on the delivery of commercial housing. Last year, driven by the special debts of major guaranteed buildings, the growth rate of completion continued to rise, but this year, the growth rate of completion remained negative for three consecutive months. Guaranteed buildings are closely related to people’s livelihood. Only by delivering new houses on time will the concerns of buyers be eliminated and the stable development of the real estate market be promoted.

What if the banana green strikes? Stewed meat stewed goose ate it.

The original Si Xiaole flavor planet comes from the album Looking for Dongguan.

In ancient India and Persia, people said that golden banana fruit is "a good health care fruit given by God".

Banana farmers in Mayong also feel that the whole world should love bananas.

How delicious can bananas be?

Ah! Ma Yong banana, it smells good!

When I went to Mayong, I happened to catch up with the second year of the typhoon. Bananas failed to harvest, and dozens of villages in hundreds of miles were densely covered with the worries of banana farmers.

In the past, people in Mayong firmly believed that bananas were the most honest crops, and Mayong was the land blessed by banana fairies. Everywhere, the sunshine is cool and the water is abundant. Ma Yong’s ancestors worked hard to reclaim land around the sea, enclosing a fertile and sandy alluvial plain farmland, creating an ecosystem that is very suitable for banana growth.

Half a century ago, the yield of bananas in Mayong reached 4,400 kilograms per mu, and the state specially awarded banana planting certificates. In 1987, this humble small urban and rural area in the Pearl River Delta created a crazy achievement of an annual banana output of 22 tons. At its peak, Mayong bananas were even exported to the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, North Korea and Hong Kong.

It’s just a banana. What’s the difference? Bananas sell well, that is, Mayong people can do business.

Guest officer, please stay and eat two bites of bananas produced in Mayong. You can’t help but say, "It smells good!"

Ma Yong banana is pleasing in appearance, which is different from the slender bananas in Southeast Asia. Ma Yong banana is another school of healthy and strong, with neat fruit combs. The ripe banana skin is golden yellow with sunny luster, and at first glance it is a baby nourished by the land.

Eat it in your mouth, and sure enough! Fructose is abundant, the flesh is sweet and waxy, and the rich banana aroma scatters flowers in the mouth, which is really different from bananas elsewhere. In the local words of Mayong: "It smells like bananas!"

Li Yingqiang, a banana wholesaler who has been running with his father for decades, remembers that 1999 was the best year, and he could sell 40,000 kilograms of bananas to Henan a day.

He Jianxian, a banana farmer, also remembers the good days when he planted several thousand kilograms of bananas a year and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars. At that time, the banana chamber of commerce in the Soviet Union spent several months coming to the banana field to purchase goods, boasting in half-baked Chinese that Mayong bananas were soft, smooth and sweet, with unique flavor and the best taste.

Most people in Shangcun village in machong have gone to do business all over the world, but every household still has an inseparable relationship with bananas, or has a few acres of banana fields at home, or a banana purchaser who migrated from other places in previous generations. There are even several households at the end of the village who specialize in buying and selling fertilizers in banana fields.

Bananas can be harvested in all seasons. Except for those who buy and sell, there are traces of bananas in the daily diet of people in the town. Every once in a while, they get into the banana forest and cut off a handful of green ones. They put the tail of a bicycle and carry it home with a snort. They put it in a rice jar and cook it golden with incense. Old people and children can eat it happily for a week.

"Porphyra and banana syrup" is not a dark dish

Banana bone soup, braised goose with banana and fried eggs with banana buds all make you want to stop.

Li Yingqiang does banana wholesale and other fruit wholesale at the same time, but every year on the second day of February of the lunar calendar, he will definitely go back to Mayong to attend the "Apo Club". On that day, every household will make banana pancakes to offer sacrifices to Nu Wa Niangniang. Adults always remember to find the empress to keep safe, and children always remember that the empress has come to protect their food.

Locals also make pancakes with banana buds.

Ma Yong’s banana pancakes are too sticky to stop: mash the yellow ripe banana pulp into banana paste, add glutinous rice flour and water, stir well, pour it into an oil pan, spread it thin and fry it, which is soft, tough, sticky, simple and rough, but it is firmly entangled in the taste buds by the sweet and soft glutinous local bananas.

We didn’t catch up with the grandmother’s meeting, and we had a banana feast including banana pancakes at the "Harvest Farm" next to the machong Highway, which opened our eyes! When bananas are regarded as daily food, there are so many strange ways to open them!

Boss Huang, who also grew up in the banana forest in his early 50 s, took care of this roadside water village dish for 7 years, and now there are more than a dozen bananas on the menu.

Banana Bone Soup, Banana Braised Goose, Banana Bud Fried Eggs, Sweet and Sour Bananas, Golden Wheat Banana Balls … Remember to save your stomach for a bowl of traditional laver and banana syrup after dinner, and bananas are gorgeous in Cantonese cooking without violating!

Most of the bananas used for cooking are raw bananas, with a lot of glue but a weak aroma of banana fruit. They are a supporting role who keeps his own quiet contribution, and will not steal the flavor of other ingredients. What they eat is mainly the wonderful taste of bananas between refreshing and sweet and sticky and sticky.

Ma Yong people also found more reasons for this sweet and plump food to clear away heat, dampness and stomach.

Mayong people think that banana laver syrup can prevent pinkeye, clear away heat and relieve summer heat, reduce fire and improve eyesight, so many families can eat this classic dessert:

The practice is roughly to peel raw bananas, soak them in water, cut them into pieces, rub them with your hands, wash off the banana gum, and then boil them in boiling water.

When the banana gum floats, remove the gum foam with a spoon and wash it with cold water to make the bananas in the field fresh. Add ginger slices and boil them in water for half an hour. When the banana slices become soft, add the washed laver and add brown sugar.

This is a pot of sweet and sour summer syrup, and it is also one of the must-eat items in Dongguan in my mind.

"Bananas are more than fruits for Ma Yong people." It is three meals a day, which is a daily support.

The warning given by the older generation of banana growers to the young people who continue to grow and manage bananas in Mayong is that the most difficult thing to grow bananas is persistence. For hundreds of years, Mayong people have repeatedly fallen and got up in seedling raising, planting, harvesting and ripening, and they have probably missed 11,000 miles. Nowadays, no one can guarantee how long the road ahead is.

A new batch of Ma Yong’s "american born chinese" are also hesitant, but they are more determined to stand at the intersection with the banana forest.

The spring of 2020 is still wet. Banana farmers said that the mother bananas that were blown down by the cold wave and typhoon two years ago have now sprouted again. This year’s Nu Wa Niangniang not only inspired everyone’s enthusiasm for banana pancakes as always, but also seemed to bring some new hopes for bananas.

Urgent action does not disgrace the mission-on-the-spot record of Wuhan Youfu Hospital’s anti-epidemic work

Jingchu. com client-Jingchu. com news (correspondent Wang Mian) Since Wuhan Youfu Hospital was listed as the designated treatment hospital for patients in COVID-19 on February 14th, Wuhan Veterans Affairs Bureau urgently mobilized all forces in the system, completed various transformation tasks in time, and increased 900 beds within 4 days, providing a strong guarantee for winning the epidemic prevention and control war. As of February 21st, Wuhan Youfu Hospital has treated 256 patients with COVID-19.

Firmly invest in the fight against epidemic prevention and control

Youfu Hospital is only 200 meters away from the seafood market in South China. Since December last year, it has been receiving patients with fever of unknown reasons. Faced with the shortage of resources in the hospital and the inability to properly treat it, the party group of Wuhan Veterans Affairs Bureau immediately led the Party Committee of Youfu Hospital to seriously study the feasibility of hospital reconstruction, carefully calculate the beds that can be vacated, integrate and adjust the wards, and treat patients according to the maximum carrying capacity. At the same time, it reported the relevant situation of the special care hospital to the municipal party committee and municipal government, and applied to treat patients in COVID-19 as a designated hospital.

On February 14th, the city leaders approved this hospital as a designated hospital for patients in COVID-19. At the same time, the hospital received the task of preparing 900 beds before February 17. Since then, a race against time, greatly enhance the fighting capacity of COVID-19 patients to save the assault war in the position of the special care hospital.

Race against time to complete relay for life.

Faced with the arduous task of increasing 900 beds in four days, the Municipal Bureau of Veterans Affairs quickly blew the assembly number, organized all the staff of the special care hospital (except the medical staff who care for the existing inpatients) and more than 330 staff members who did not undertake the epidemic prevention task in the sinking community, such as the municipal bureau organs, military rest offices and military rest centers, and mobilized more than 20 middle-level cadres of retired soldiers from Hubei Comrades Group to transfer patients, relocate and transform, and dispatch materials.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. There is no suitable office space, and a conference room less than 20 square meters serves as a design room, dispatching room, restaurant and rest stop for relocation and reconstruction planning; The elevator in the courtyard is not suitable for handling, so the relocated personnel will climb the stairs one by one to transport materials, and they will fight until the early morning for four consecutive days, and the WeChat step will average more than 30,000 steps for several days.

Where did the 900 beds and related medical materials come from under the current situation of city-wide closure? How to ensure the smooth travel of relocated people? To this end, the rear support personnel gave full play to the advantages of the retired military affairs department, and coordinated eight troops stationed in Han, military academies and military hospitals to urgently dispatch quilts, mattresses, sheets, masks, disinfectant and other scarce materials; At the same time, contact with the community where the relocated people live to ensure that the frontline personnel arrive at their posts in time and return home smoothly.

With the concerted efforts of the whole system of Qi Xin, on February 15th, 300 beds in Building No.2 in the old campus were put in place. On the 16th, 200 beds in Building 1 were in place; On the 17th, 400 beds in the new campus were put in place. At this point, all 900 beds have been assembled.

Medical staff in five provinces and regions rushed to the rescue.

If one side is in trouble, all sides will support it. On February 16th, 544 medical staff from Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Yunnan and Gansu provinces (autonomous regions) rushed to Wuhan and rushed to the city’s special care hospital in batches to jointly carry out patient treatment.

On February 17th, five aid medical teams rushed into work and took over 12 wards of the hospital. At present, patients in two wards have been treated.

In order to do a good job in the supply of life support for the aid medical team, the Municipal Youfu Hospital has set up a special administrative class headed by the vice president to fully guarantee the needs of the medical team for in-hospital meals, the collection of protective equipment and the distribution of living materials. At the same time, a funding center composed of 20 medical staff was set up to help the medical team clean and disinfect protective articles, such as rubber shoes and goggles, daily, and to coordinate various protection and guarantee work.

As of 20: 00 on February 21st, the city’s Youfu Hospital has treated a total of 256 patients from COVID-19. At present, 251 patients from COVID-19 are being treated in the hospital (4 died and 1 was transferred). Among them, there are 53 elderly patients with severe diseases (average age over 75 years old) and 8 young patients with severe diseases (average age between 20 and 40 years old).

Epidemic prevention battlefield shows the true colors of retired soldiers

The special care hospital set up an isolation ward one month before the fixed-point transformation, which belongs to the high-risk zone of virus transmission. The relocation work has limited protection and heavy workload, so it is difficult to avoid exposure risks. At this time, five demobilized cadres of the Municipal Bureau of Veterans Affairs set up a resident assault detachment and organized more than ten demobilized cadres to fight one after another.

On February 15th, it snowed heavily, and the courtyard was brightly lit. Demobilized cadres took the lead in hard work, carrying heavy and hard-to-move materials such as sickbeds and cabinets upstairs and downstairs, regardless of the sweat soaking the back of clothes repeatedly, and kept working until 2 am the next day.

Shu Minjie, a demobilized cadre, took root in the unit. After fighting the epidemic for more than 20 days, a folding bed, a bowl of instant noodles and a disposable medical mask were all his equipment. "My wife and children have been sent back to their hometown, and I have no burden in fighting at the front line. I will take the initiative to ask for any task." Shu Minjie said.

Li Peng is a newly-arrived demobilized cadre in the Seventh Military Rest Center. After receiving the task, he entrusted his full-moon child to his parents, comforted his wife who had just given birth, and devoted himself to his work. He said: "The unit needs me. I am party member. I will go first. I am a retired soldier."

The number of finless porpoises in Nanjing section of the Yangtze River is about 62, an increase of 24% compared with 2017.

Nanbao. com

On December 28th, Nanjing held a press conference to report the results of background investigation on biodiversity in Nanjing and its protection. The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) learned from the press conference that there are about 62 Yangtze finless porpoises in Nanjing Yangtze finless porpoises provincial nature reserve, an increase of 24% compared with 2017, accounting for 10.4% of the total number of Yangtze finless porpoises in the main stream.

The Yangtze finless porpoise is the only existing cetacean animal in the Yangtze River, a national first-class protected wild animal, and also a "barometer" of the Yangtze River ecology. According to Zhang Ruizhong, a first-class researcher of Nanjing Greening and Landscape Bureau, in order to protect the Yangtze finless porpoise and its habitat, the Jiangsu provincial government approved the establishment of Nanjing Yangtze finless porpoise provincial nature reserve in 2014. The nature reserve starts from Xinshengzhou, Jiangning District in the west, adjacent to Maanshan City, Anhui Province, and extends to Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in the east, covering the range of finless porpoises in Nanjing section of the Yangtze River, with a total length of 44.8 kilometers and a planned total area of 86.92 square kilometers.

In 2022, the latest scientific research on finless porpoises in the whole Yangtze River basin and the investigation of background resources in the nature reserve showed that the number of finless porpoises in the nature reserve was about 62, accounting for 10.4% of the total number of finless porpoises in the main stream of the Yangtze River, and half of the total number of finless porpoises in Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River, which was one of the sections with the highest distribution density of finless porpoises in the whole main stream of the Yangtze River, with an increase of 24% compared with the scientific research data in 2017. The Yangtze finless porpoises in the nature reserve are clustered, mainly distributed in the waters near Qianzhou, Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge and Zihuizhou.

Since October, 2021, Nanjing Bureau of Ecology and Environment has organized the first city-wide background survey of biodiversity in the city, and a total of 3,672 species have been recorded. Among them, a small Metasequoia glyptostroboides tree and the largest population in the world urban environment were found at the base of the Ming wall of Xuanwu Lake, and the largest Taxus mairei population known to be naturally regenerated in urban forests in China was found under the deciduous broad-leaved forest at the southern foot of Zijinshan Mountain.

The system of "four days’ work and three days’ rest" envisioned by NPC professors has aroused discussion.

Comic Niuli

  Recently, Wang Qiyan, a professor at Renmin University of China who is famous for studying leisure life and leisure economy, said in an interview with the media that people in some Nordic countries work four days a week and have three days off. According to China’s current economic growth rate, even if the economic growth rate is lower, if it can increase by 6% every year, by 2030, China can implement the system of working four days and taking three days off.
Population pressure and competitive pressure have always kept the working class in our country in a high-intensity working state. Therefore, Professor Wang Qiyan’s statement immediately aroused great repercussions, and netizens from all walks of life stood in two factions with clear flags. The official WeChat of this newspaper conducted an investigation on this.

  [Support] The improvement of material level gives birth to leisure demand
"Leisure economy is a matter of time"

  "Now that people’s material living standards have improved, they begin to hope that the pace of life can slow down and enjoy life." Netizen @ Bai Zhuangzhuang said that she works in a physical examination center and only works for half a day. She is "satisfied" with her life.
In her opinion, life pays attention to contentment. Now, eating and drinking are not worrying, and there are plenty of holidays, which is exactly the life she wants. "I think everyone doesn’t want to be too tired after having certain material conditions. Therefore, the leisure economy of working for four days and resting for three days must be an inevitable trend."

  "Leisure is economy and attitude"

  Netizen @ Jinger works in a private enterprise. Although she has only four days off a month and is busy with her work, she thinks her mentality has reached a "leisure state". "According to Professor Wang’s research, the leisure economy can only be achieved if there is material abundance. I don’t think so." @ Jinger believes that it is very important to slow down life. For example, she said that she would not easily add workload to herself, "money can never be earned"; If she has a little spare time, she will get together with her friends … "So, on the surface, my time is tight, but my mood is relaxed."

  [Objection] The pursuit of leisure economy should also take into account the present.
The leisure economy after 20 years is somewhat ambitious.

  In the WeChat survey, most netizens are skeptical about the leisure economy and think that "some are too far away". "China has a large population and great competitive pressure. It is not easy to find a suitable job. It is probably counterproductive to talk about the leisure economy now." Netizen @ The watcher of the night sky said.
@ Sky Watcher works as an accountant in a private company. In order to earn more money and buy a house as soon as possible, he also makes up lessons for several students on Saturday and Sunday. "Who doesn’t want to relax, but now the pressure of survival is so great that they must be more diligent than others." He feels that instead of blindly pursuing leisure economy, it is better to focus on the present.

  The concept of leisure encourages laziness.

  "The leisure economy must not become a lazy economy." Netizen @ Invisible Champion said.
He left a message on WeChat, "Vacation is more about the welfare of administrative institutions, and service industries such as catering are simply hard to enjoy." He is worried that if the leisure economy becomes a reality, it will only benefit those who enjoy vacation benefits. "I think we should link the vacation system with the workload and work efficiency, and enjoy the vacation after completing certain work tasks, so as to avoid the emergence of lazy people."

  ○ Quotations from Wang Qiyan

  Wang Qiyan: Leisure must be based on highly developed material conditions. Only when you have a material foundation can you relax; Otherwise, you can’t even eat. What are you playing with? Everything is based on the improvement of labor efficiency.
Wang Qiyan: The story of the lazy people’s congress (editor’s note: held in 2006, put forward ten declarations, such as "Don’t do what others can do, and don’t do what they can do tomorrow". ) can be interpreted from two aspects. First, when you struggle to a certain extent in the first half of your life, you have a certain foundation. It’s no big deal if you procrastinate for a day. If you are the boss, you procrastinate for a day and someone below will do it for you. Second, this is actually advocating a slow lifestyle. In some countries in Northern Europe, there are slow meals and slow exercise. Greece is a typical example. People often eat a meal for six hours, which is a manifestation of slow life.
Wang Qiyan: No pains, it is respect for your own life, responsibility for yourself, responsibility for your family, and responsibility for the employees of the company you manage. Besides, if you overwork and do everything, what else will others do? You leave some job opportunities for others and don’t overwork yourself, which is more fair.

According to yanzhao metropolis daily.

  A. Noun explanation

  Leisure economy: Leisure economy is a highly developed product of industrialized society, which originated in Europe and America, and began to emerge in the middle of 19th century, and entered a period of rapid development in 1980s.
Wang Qiyan, a professor at China People’s Congress, said that China’s leisure economy has several important indicators. First, people’s leisure time will increase substantially, accounting for 40% to 45%; Second, by 2030, about 50% of China’s GDP will come from the leisure industry; Third, 50% of ordinary people’s consumption expenditure is used for leisure consumption; Fourth, half of our land is used for leisure.

China’s paid vacation system

  According to China’s Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees (implemented on January 1, 2008):
Article 2 Employees of government organs, organizations, enterprises, institutions, private non-enterprise units and individual industrial and commercial households with employees who have worked continuously for more than one year shall enjoy paid annual leave (hereinafter referred to as annual leave). The unit shall ensure that employees enjoy annual leave. During the annual leave, employees enjoy the same salary as during the normal working period.
Article 3 Employees who have worked for more than one year but less than 10 years shall have an annual leave of 5 days; If it has been 10 years but less than 20 years, the annual leave will be 10 days; For those who have completed 20 years, the annual leave is 15 days.
National statutory holidays and rest days are not included in the annual leave.

  advice from others
USA: Holiday days can be accumulated.

  American paid vacation can be used up at one time in a year, or divided into multiple times as needed. When paying wages, writing down the remaining days of vacation can help employees save and accumulate.
If the employee is dismissed, resigned or retired in the middle of the year, the unused vacation days can be converted into cash in the last salary.

  Germany: Vacation is wasted without compensation.

  According to the relevant regulations, new employees of German government agencies can take 20 days off with pay, and the number of days off will increase with the increase of working years. Employees over 50 can enjoy 30 days off with pay every year.
German law also stipulates that people can split the vacation date according to their actual situation, but at least one vacation must reach 12 days, and no economic compensation is given to individuals who do not take vacations.

  Japan: There are basically one or two holidays every month.

  There are three long holidays in a year, with the most holidays and anniversaries in May, plus Saturday and Sunday, which is basically a Golden Week. Another continuous holiday is at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. Basically, each enterprise decides the number of rest days at its own discretion.
Japan stipulates that employees have "paid leave", which means paid leave. Although wage earners work a long day, they also have a lot of holidays. Apart from Saturday and Sunday, there are basically one or two other holidays every month.

  Canada: Give up paid leave and compensate 4% of annual salary.

  According to the situation in different provinces, there are generally 10 to 12 legal holidays every year except weekends, all of which are arranged on Mondays or Fridays, so you have a three-day holiday with weekends.
According to the Canadian labor law, employers must give employees paid holidays every year, which is part of employee benefits. If the employee gives up paid leave, the employer will compensate 4% of the annual salary.

  Australia: At least 20 days paid vacation every year.

  Australia implements a "paid vacation" system. Apart from public holidays, there are at least 20 days of paid vacation every year, and you can also get an incentive salary equivalent to 17.5% of your usual salary.
Although there are many public holidays in Australia, most of them last only one day. Public holidays are generally national holidays, but some departments that must operate, such as large daily supermarkets, will shorten their business hours appropriately. At this time, if you insist on working, you can get twice or even three times the salary, but locals generally prefer not to double or even triple the salary and choose to take a vacation.

  France: There are 6 weeks paid vacation every year.

  The French is the original initiator of paid vacation system. Now, paid holidays in France have been as long as six weeks a year, and their working hours have dropped below 40 hours a week.

The number of confirmed cases once ranked second in China. What has Huanggang experienced these days?

  In Wuhan in mid-February, the weather is getting warmer. For the first time in 15 days, Khufu walked out of a small hotel room for self-isolation. He was a critically ill patient who recovered early from the COVID-19 epidemic.

  Lao Hu is 53 years old. His family lives in Huanggang, and his illness is also in Huanggang. At present, Wuhan and Huanggang are implementing control, so he can’t return to his hometown for the time being.

  Lao Hu has been engaged in poultry business in Huanggang central vegetable market for 30 years. Huanggang local poultry supply is sufficient. He has never been to Wuhan to purchase goods, but there are several seafood stores in the central vegetable market, and he has to purchase goods from Wuhan South China Seafood Market every day. Lao Hu often associates with seafood shop owners and plays cards when he has nothing to do.

  At the end of December 2019, Lao Hu found that he seemed to have caught a cold. He still felt cold and weak after covering three quilts.

  On January 2, 2020, Lao Hu was admitted to Huanggang Central Hospital. On January 5, the illness worsened, and Lao Hu and his wife decided to transfer to the provincial capital for treatment. On January 8, Lao Hu was admitted to the intensive care unit of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University and was in a coma, with severe infection of both lungs. After being fully treated by medical staff, Lao Hu turned to safety and recovered and was discharged on January 28.

  During khufu’s hospitalization, the epidemic situation in COVID-19, his hometown of Huanggang developed rapidly, and the number of confirmed cases was once second only to Wuhan, ranking second in the country.

  The number of confirmed cases increased by 8 times in 5 days. Huanggang started the transformation mode.

  Huanggang City is located in the southeast of Wuhan, with seven counties, two cities and three districts under its jurisdiction. Its land area is about twice that of Wuhan, and its total population is about 62% of that of Wuhan. In 2018, the GDP of Huanggang is 13% of Wuhan’s, and the per capita disposable income of residents is 45% of Wuhan’s. The transportation between Wugang and Wugang is convenient. Except for the expressway, the intercity railway opened in 2014 takes only 30 minutes. Every year, Huanggang has about 700,000 business workers in Wuhan. This city, which is almost the same as Wuhan in geography and transportation, but lags behind Wuhan in development, how to deal with the epidemic?

  Yi Xianrong, deputy mayor of Huanggang City and deputy commander of the Covid-19-infected pneumonia epidemic prevention and control headquarters in Huanggang City, told CCTV that the central vegetable market where Lao Hu once traded is one of the most important vegetable markets in the old city, which basically covers all aspects of people’s lives, including vegetables, meat and aquatic products. On January 11th, he received a report from Huanggang Health and Health Commission that three Huanggang patients with "unexplained pneumonia" were hospitalized in Wuhan, one of whom was Lao Hu. Since January 12th, the central vegetable market has been sterilized every day, and it was completely closed on January 23rd. In addition, there are more than 20 farmers’ markets that have also been thoroughly cleaned up and eliminated.

  On January 17th, Hubei Provincial Health and Health Commission held a video conference in the whole province. On January 18th, Huanggang City established the "Command for Prevention and Control of Pneumonia Infected in novel coronavirus". On January 21st, Huanggang City first appeared in the epidemic notification issued by Hubei Provincial Health and Health Commission. Since then, the number of fever outpatients in the main urban areas of Huanggang City and the number of confirmed cases in COVID-19 have increased rapidly.

  Yi Xianrong told CCTV reporters: "It took only five days from the first batch of 12 cases to 100 cases on January 20. Our whole fever clinic has been on the rise from January 20th to January 24th, and reached its peak on January 24th, when the number of outpatients was more than 3,300. This has brought considerable pressure to the prevention and control headquarters. We feel that the treatment capacity is probably insufficient, so it is urgent to start the transformation and site selection of designated treatment institutions from then on. "

  On January 19th, Huanggang City Prevention and Control Headquarters decided to transform Huanggang City Infectious Disease Hospital to treat patients. Xia Youchun, secretary of the Party Committee of Huanggang Central Hospital, who is in charge of the reconstruction task, said that after three days of sleepless fighting, the hospital’s medical staff and temporarily recruited workers opened up a three-storey ward and placed 60 beds. They began to treat patients on January 22, and all 60 beds were full the next day. So they began to rebuild the outpatient building next door into a suspected case treatment point, but the newly added 100 beds were filled again within two days.

  48-hour reconstruction of Huanggang "Xiaotangshan" volunteers rushed to the scene with their own tools.

  On the one hand, there are increasing cases, and on the other hand, there are saturated hospitals. In order to solve the serious shortage of admission capacity of hospitals in Huanggang City, Dabie Mountain Medical Center has become the "Xiaotangshan" in Huanggang.

  This brand-new medical center is located in the East New District of Huanggang City. It started construction in 2015 and cost about 1.3 billion yuan. The first phase of the medical center is a general hospital with 1,500 beds, which was originally scheduled to be delivered in May 2020. Mao Weiming, vice president of Huanggang Central Hospital, received the task of making this place have the conditions to treat patients within 48 hours.

  On January 24th, the emergency opening of Dabie Mountain Medical Center began. The sickbeds, cabinets and medical equipment were originally scheduled to arrive in May, and the hospital urged the manufacturers to deliver and transport them in advance. Soon, 1,000 beds and various medical equipment were delivered one after another.

  At the same time, there are thousands of volunteers fighting at the scene, and Zhang Fei is one of them. His hometown is in Huanggang rural area, and he is usually engaged in building materials business. When he learned that Dabie Mountain Medical Center needed volunteers, he immediately came with his own tools.

  Zhang Fei told CCTV reporter: "At that time, we worked until 2: 30 in the morning, that is, we unloaded the last batch of materials. They are all sickbeds, and that bed is not installed. This bag is wheels and that bag is accessories. It is packed in a cardboard box and also has a wooden frame. It is very heavy, and a bed needs six people to carry it. About 500 beds can be packed in a day. It was all finished in two days, and the work on the third day was basically over. "

  Due to the heavy workload, the delivery time of Dabie Mountain Medical Center was one day later than that stipulated by the headquarters.

  At 2 am on January 26th, Ren Hongsheng, deputy director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine, East Hospital of Shandong Provincial Hospital, and the first batch of Shandong medical team members arrived in Huanggang. After two days of protective training and familiarization with the situation, he and his team members entered the Dabie Mountain Medical Center together.

  At 11 pm on January 28th, more than 40 patients were admitted to Dabie Mountain Medical Center. After more than an hour, the intensive care unit began to treat critically ill patients. By 7: 00 a.m. on January 29th, seven patients had been admitted to the intensive care unit under the responsibility of Shandong Medical Team. With the arrival of more and more patients, the new wards of Dabie Mountain Medical Center have been opened one after another.

  Yi Xianrong said: "The opening of Dabie Mountain Medical Center has fundamentally changed the problem that we were very short of treatment beds at that time. After the renovation, we can provide 1,000 beds. On the other hand, we can concentrate our best medical staff, and there are more than 560 medical teams in Shandong and Hunan. As of February 9, all of them are concentrated in Dabie Mountain Medical Center. " Following the medical teams from Shandong and Hunan provinces to Dabie Mountain Medical Center, there are also professional teams specializing in hospital infection management.

  At the same time of opening Dabie Mountain Medical Center, Huanggang City also opened six isolation points to treat suspected cases. With the promotion of the investigation, several isolation points for close contacts have been added. Recently, the investigation and isolation of patients with fever have been carried out again. Since January 23, the prevention and control headquarters has issued several notices to gradually improve the control of cities, roads, public places and residential quarters. The front line of epidemic prevention and control has gradually advanced from the last confirmed cases.

  According to the data provided by Huanggang City on February 11th, 17.486 million people have been investigated in village communities, 45,000 in public places, 1.034 million in bayonets, 1.907 million in enterprises and institutions, and 13,000 people have been found with fever.

  As of February 19th, Huanggang has established 89 centralized isolation places and 1833 rooms for fever patients, and 225 centralized isolation places and 12966 rooms for close contacts. As of February 21st, the number of newly confirmed cases in Huanggang City has been continuously maintained at a low level compared with the previous period.

  Village cadres are on duty at intersections to purchase materials for villagers.

  At first, many rural districts and counties that people were most worried about and whose medical resources were not as good as those in cities had zero new cases. Do these seemingly gratifying figures really reflect the epidemic prevention situation in rural areas? CCTV reporter decided to go to volunteer Zhang Fei’s hometown to have a look.

  Zhang Fei’s hometown is located in Huayuangang Village, Shangbahe Town, Tuanfeng County, Huanggang City. According to the village party secretary, there are 1,575 villagers in Huayuangang Village, with an average annual income of about 52,000 yuan. So far, no case of COVID-19 has been found in the village.

  The village party secretary told CCTV that on January 24th, the village committee received a notice from the township, requesting a comprehensive investigation of the population of the village. After investigation, it was found that 390 people in the village returned home from other places before the Spring Festival, of which 178 were from Wuhan, and the latest arrived home on the morning of January 24th. For the villagers returning from Wuhan, the village Committee will issue a temperature gun to each household according to the requirements of the township, isolate them at home and monitor their body temperature every day.

  The village party secretary said that from before the Spring Festival to now, the villagers in Huayuangang Village hardly went out, and they didn’t visit each other during the Spring Festival. They all stayed at home. The village cadres separately contracted the villagers’ groups, and were on duty at all important intersections every day. The village cadres were also responsible for purchasing the necessities of each household.

  According to He Yaoqing, Party Secretary of Shangbahe Town, there are 28 villages and 1 neighborhood committee in Shangbahe Town, with a population of more than 32,000. From the first day of the first month, towns and villages have thoroughly arranged and registered every household, and found more than 1,900 returnees in Wuhan and more than 1,000 returnees in Huangzhou. Villages and towns inform all communities and village groups to pay special attention to these people. So far, two confirmed cases have been found in the town.

  According to the unified arrangement of Huanggang City, after the confirmed and suspected cases are found in each township, they are all handed over to the county-designated hospitals for centralized treatment. Township health centers are responsible for isolating people with fever, and cooperate with township governments to provide medical services for close contacts who are isolated.

  Set up isolation dialysis area for dialysis patients to avoid cross infection.

  In the isolation point, CCTV reporters met a special close contact — — Lao Fan.

  Lao Fan said that a patient who had dialysis with him a few days ago was diagnosed as a COVID-19 patient, so many patients who had dialysis with him were isolated as close contacts.

  Lao Fan told CCTV reporter: "I am most worried about dialysis now, because we can’t afford to wait. One day I will be swollen like a balloon, and the next day I will be swollen."

  At present, there are many close contacts like him who need separate places for dialysis. How to solve this problem?

  After the confirmed cases were found among dialysis patients, Huanggang City conducted COVID-19 screening for dialysis patients in the city, and set up separate isolation dialysis areas in several designated hospitals in the city for confirmed cases and close contacts who needed dialysis.

  Zheng Qin, director of the Emergency Center of Tuanfeng County People’s Hospital, said: "The patients in the isolation dialysis area are uremic patients in COVID-19 and suspected COVID-19. We will screen all dialysis patients for COVID-19. If they are diagnosed, we will implement CRT dialysis in the isolation ward and beside the bed. For those who are suspected or can’t be ruled out, we distinguish him from normal patients without COVID-19 to prevent the spread of dialysis patients in COVID-19. "

  At noon, it’s Lao Fan’s turn for dialysis. As Lao Fan is a close contact in isolation, after dialysis, township hospitals will send him back to the isolation point by special car to continue isolation. (Text/Tian Yuxi)

The amount of radiation everywhere is amazing! The internal video of the reactor building of Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan was first made public!

  CCTV News:According to Japanese media reports, on the 26th, Japan Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission released the detailed video of the inside of the No.3 reactor building of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant for the first time.

  In the video, the staff of the Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission, wearing several layers of protective clothing, gloves and masks covering the whole face, entered the factory building armed to the teeth. As can be seen from the picture, the factory building is unrecognizable, the ground is covered with a lot of rubble, and the pipes and pipes are also broken and scattered all over the place. When workers enter the second floor of the building, the maximum radiation measured on the surface of the pipeline reaches 150 millisieverts per hour, while the radiation intake of normal people is 1 ~ 2 millisieverts per year in the normal environment.

  On March 11th, 2011, a strong earthquake occurred in the northeastern waters of Japan, which triggered a tsunami, and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company suffered catastrophic radiation leakage. Eight years have passed since the nuclear accident, but the nuclear radiation in the building is still very strong.

Syrian government forces and opposition forces fought fiercely in northwest Syria.

  Xinhua News Agency, Damascus, June 8 According to the Syrian News Agency, there was a fierce exchange of fire between Syrian government forces and opposition forces in northwest Syria on the 8 th, with casualties on both sides.

  The Syrian News Agency quoted the Syrian military as saying that the opposition armed forces in the Gab area in the northwest of Hama province in Syria used car bombs and suicide attacks to launch attacks that day, occupying two government military positions. After several hours of fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, the government forces regained control of the military stronghold.

  The Syrian military said that one government army was killed and one was injured, and the number of armed casualties of the opposition was relatively large. According to the British-based Syrian Human Rights Watch, 19 soldiers were killed by government forces and 22 by opposition forces.

  At present, parts of northwest Syria are occupied by Syrian opposition armed forces supported by Turkey and other extremist organizations, including a large area in western Idlib province, a small area in Hama province and Aleppo province.

  On March 5 this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Erdogan reached an agreement on the ceasefire in Idlib province, Syria. According to the agreement, from 0: 00 local time on March 6, the warring parties in Idlib province of Syria ended all military operations on the front.

Staggered peak production and "five stops and two stops", why did Guangdong’s power cuts come ahead of schedule?

Due to the large power supply load gap, many industrial zones in Guangdong Province stopped production in turn and started off-peak electricity consumption to cope with the power supply problem.

According to "Zhongshan Daily" reported on May 26th, due to the acceleration of economic recovery and the continuous high temperature, the demand for electricity in Guangdong Province has been rising, and some areas in Guangdong have started the peak-shift electricity consumption mode. Some enterprises in Zhongshan have responded to the difficulties by purchasing generators and adjusting working hours.

"Zhongshan Daily" quoted a staff member of Chaozhou Power Supply Bureau as saying that the current load growth in some areas far exceeds expectations, and the power supply is tight or even insufficient at peak hours. If the power is overloaded, "the line is prone to collapse, causing a large-scale load trip and power outage, so some users need to cooperate with the peak shift to control power consumption".

Staggered peak power consumption refers to a series of measures to guide users to adjust their production arrangements in order to solve the short-term imbalance of power consumption load, and transfer part of the load in the peak period of power consumption to the low period of power consumption, so as to reduce the load difference between peak and valley.

According to the interface news, the peak electricity consumption has been in Guangdong Province for two weeks. By the end of May, the power rationing situation continued to increase, the scope was expanded and the time was lengthened. In some places, factories had been open for three times and stopped for four times, which had a negative impact on the order fulfillment of factories, and workers could only be arranged to work in shifts in the morning and evening on the day when the power supply could be normal.

On May 14th, a kitchen equipment manufacturer in Panyu District, Guangzhou disclosed a notice of off-peak electricity utilization, which showed that on May 16th, at the request of the superior power supply bureau, off-peak electricity utilization will be implemented every Saturday and work normally on Sundays, and the off-peak electricity utilization cycle is expected to last for three months.

Subsequently, Foshan, Shantou, Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Chaozhou and other places began to implement off-peak electricity consumption.

On May 18th, Shantou City, Guangdong Province began to implement the "five stops and two stops" orderly power consumption. Industrial users need to take two days off every Tuesday from the benchmark date, and stop producing electricity at 9-12: 00, 14-17: 00 and 18-21: 00 during the peak hours of power consumption, and only keep the security and heat preservation load.

On May 19th, Humen Power Supply Bureau of Guangdong Power Grid issued a document saying that the customers of industrial transformer in the whole town need to implement the orderly power consumption plan from May to December, and impose an additional penalty of 48 hours of power outage on enterprises that unconsciously implement orderly power consumption.

On May 24th, Guzhen Town, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province began to implement the "five stops and two stops" scheme. According to the notice issued by Guan Wei of the Party and Mass Service Center in Gusan Village, Guzhen Town, from now on, the peak-to-peak power outage will be on Sunday every week, and the power transmission will be stopped from 7: 00 am to 23:00 am every Sunday, and the elevator may not be used.

In addition, some industrial users can’t use electricity for production and work, and can’t turn on high-power electrical appliances, such as air conditioners, even if they have electricity during off-peak electricity consumption.

Since 2014, China’s economy has entered a new normal, the growth rate of electricity demand has slowed down, and the phenomenon of power rationing has rarely occurred. Even if it appears, it is mostly in the peak period of electricity consumption in July and August. Why did it appear in May earlier this year?

Ceng Ming, director of the Energy Internet Research Center of North China Electric Power University, told Interface News that there are four deep-seated reasons.

The first reason is that the electricity consumption plan arrangement is not accurate, which leads to the deviation of electricity demand arrangement on the power supply side; The second reason is that climate factors have a great influence on the demand for electricity. The high temperature weather in Guangdong has led to a significant increase in peak and valley load compared with the past. "Lack of electricity is the lack of peak load."

The third reason is that, due to the great compression of coal-fired power in recent years, the multi-energy complementarity between renewable energy and traditional energy is uncoordinated, which leads to power shortage. The fourth reason is that most of Guangdong’s electricity depends on external calls, and this year’s external calls may deviate from the original plan.

According to the news of Guangdong Electric Power Trading Center, according to the historical data of the 13th Five-Year Plan, May is in the alternate period of dry season and flood season, and the power generation capacity of the main clean energy hydropower is limited, and the maintenance of superimposed units and engineering power outages are relatively concentrated, which is actually the month with the smallest supply margin for the whole year.

From June to September, it entered the summer peak period, and the system load reached the highest value of the year. However, hydropower also entered the annual peak period, and the bidding space of market units was reduced.

But this year, Guangdong Province entered the summer ahead of schedule. The Guangdong Energy Bureau reported on May 21st that since May, the high temperature in Guangdong Province has been continuously high, with a temperature of 35℃, which is 4℃ higher than that in the same period last year, resulting in the rising demand for electricity, which has exceeded the highest load last year.

At the same time, the economic recovery is accelerating, especially the demand for electricity in the secondary and tertiary industries is strong. From January to April, the electricity consumption in the province increased by 32.2% and 40.2% respectively.

On May 10th, the Plan for Orderly Electricity Use in Guangzhou in 2021 approved by Guangzhou Bureau of Industry and Information Technology has shown that the overall power supply in Guangdong Province is expected to be tight in 2021.

Among them, the situation of power supply and demand in the province is severe during the alternation of dry season and summer peak period, and there is a big risk of power shortage. Affected by this, the power supply in Guangzhou power grid may be tight or even short at that time.

According to the research data of Guotai Junan Securities, as of 2018, the proportion of calls from outside Guangdong also exceeded 30%. Among them, Yunnan hydropower is a major power source.

However, in May this year, Yunnan, due to reasons such as not entering the flood season, had a gap in its own power, which led to the inability of western power to increase its power transmission during the tight power supply in Guangdong.

A pre-notice of emergency peak shifting preparation issued by Yunnan Power Grid on May 10th shows that the main reservoirs in Yunnan are seriously overdrawn, the coal storage in thermal power continues to decline, and the power generation is seriously less than expected. There is a power gap of about 700,000 kilowatts at the peak of electricity consumption that day.

The wet and dry seasons are distinct in most parts of Yunnan, with the dry season from November to April of the following year and the rainy season starting around May. According to the China Meteorological Bureau, the southern region entered the flood season late this year, and there was less precipitation in Yunnan in May. Recently, Lijiang City, Yuxi City and other places in Yunnan Province have issued orange warnings for drought.

Interface News contacted the relevant staff of China Southern Power Grid Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as China Southern Power Grid) for matters such as power shortage and off-peak power consumption in Guangdong, but the person did not give a direct response.

Founded in 2002, China Southern Power Grid is responsible for power supply and service in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Hainan provinces.
