The competition in the automobile market is still very fierce. What Xiaobian brings today is. Next, let’s take a look with Xiaobian.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of looking up at U7. Looking up at the front of U7 is very personal and looks cleaner. Coupled with the sports headlights, the overall look is full of fashion and sports. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, delayed closing and so on. Come to the side of the car, the car body size is 5265MM*1998MM*1517MM, the car uses spiritual lines, the side looks very delicate, with large-sized thick-walled tires, the shape is quite calm. In the design of the rear end, looking up at the U7 rear end, the taillights give people a very cool feeling, which is relatively exquisite in general.

Sitting in the car, the interior design took a lovely route, highlighting the hierarchical effect. The steering wheel shape of the car is eye-catching, made of genuine leather, and has a good hand feel. From the central control point of view, with the 12.8-inch central control screen, the interior style is impressive, giving people a sense of fashion and dynamic. Finally, let’s look at the dashboard and seats. The dashboard design is remarkable and looks more fashionable and dynamic. The car uses leather seats, which are wrapped in place and have good support and comfort.

Looking up at the U7 matching gearbox, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 2.9s, and the power meets the daily use completely OK.

Equipped with car networking, driving mode selection, remote control key, Bluetooth key, NFC/RFID key, UWB digital key, indoor atmosphere light, traction control (ASR/TCS, etc.) and other configurations, the configuration has reached the mainstream level of the same level.

This class of cars is usually the first choice for most people. First of all, the price is not expensive, and secondly, all the configurations are quite complete, which is still very worth starting with. If you have plans to buy a car now, then today’s car is worth learning about.

　　German researchers reported in the new authoritative academic journal Nature that they found a natural antibiotic in human nasal cavity, which can kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is called "superbacteria" and is resistant to many antibiotics.

　　Researchers at the University of Tü bingen, Germany, found in the study of 187 hospitalized patients that a bacterium named Staphylococcus ludden rarely appeared with Staphylococcus aureus in the nasal cavity of patients. When the patient has Staphylococcus aureus in the nasal cavity, the rate of Staphylococcus aureus in the nasal cavity is only one sixth of that of the patient without Staphylococcus aureus in the nasal cavity. Further research shows that Staphylococcus ludden can produce a previously unknown natural antibiotic, which makes Staphylococcus aureus unable to survive in human nasal cavity. The researchers named it "Ludenin".

　　Animal experiments have shown that Luteinin can kill MRSA, vancomycin-resistant enterococci and other multi-resistant bacteria resistant to traditional antibiotics. For example, the ointment made of Ludwig successfully cured MRSA skin infection in mice, and Ludwig spray greatly reduced the number of MRSA in the nasal cavity of rats. The researchers say that antibiotics are usually produced only by bacteria and fungi in the soil, and it is a new discovery that human flora can also be a source of antibiotics. Next, they will focus on the application of ludenin, such as trying to implant ludenin-producing bacteria into high-risk patients to reduce the risk of MRSA infection.

　　Jim Lewis, a microbiologist at Northeastern University in the United States, said that this is the first time that scientists have made it clear that antibiotics produced by one bacterium can inhibit the existence of another bacterium in the same microbial community. Researchers believe that new discoveries will help to prevent and treat drug-resistant bacterial infections in the future, and also provide new ideas for finding new antibiotics in the future.

[Pacific Auto Review Channel] Toyota has been "playing" hybrid for 26 years, and its hybrid models are known for their fuel economy and reliability. At present, more than 23 million vehicles have been sold in the world, and the record of "0 accidents, 0 explosions and 0 electric leakage" has been maintained. After four generations of changes, Toyota’s dual-engine system has evolved to the fifth generation, and its name has changed from "dual-engine" to "intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine". And the new Lei Ling (parameter picture) (inquiry base price | reference matching) is the first landing model of Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system in China. Therefore, Lei Ling’s change this time is not as simple as changing the kit and adding a few configurations. The latest hybrid system is the real dry goods.

The Fifth Generation Toyota Intelligent Electric Hybrid Dual Engine System

Since it is equipped with a brand-new fifth-generation system, the power system and driving experience of the new Lei Ling are naturally the focus of our attention.

So what is the improvement of this system? The fifth generation intelligent electric hybrid twin-engine upgrades the three-electric system (motor, battery and electronic control), adopts a driving motor with higher output torque, and replaces the previous Ni-MH battery with a ternary lithium battery with higher discharge power for the power battery. The PCU power control unit also optimizes the program and reduces the volume and weight.

The comprehensive power of the 1.8L intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine system carried by the new Ralink is 101kW, which is 12% higher than that of the fourth generation system. The peak torque of the motor is 185N·m, and the fuel consumption of WLTC under comprehensive working conditions is as low as 4L/100km, which is about half a liter lower than that of the current system.

Previously, we did a zero-hundred-speed acceleration test on Lei Ling equipped with the fourth-generation dual-engine hybrid system, and the measured result was 10.87 seconds, which was more than 3 seconds slower than the Civic/e:HEV equipped with the fourth-generation i-MMD hybrid system.

After switching to the fifth generation system, according to official information, the zero-hundred-acceleration performance of the new Lei Ling can be improved to 9 seconds, and the acceleration of 0-60km/h only takes 4 seconds, and the acceleration capacity of the latter section of 80-120km/h is also improved by 15%.

From the actual sense of body, the speed of the new Lei Ling is indeed much faster than before. In the middle and low speed section, it has the pleasure of the tram. More importantly, the acceleration in the latter part is no longer so weak, especially in sports mode, the overtaking experience is much more enjoyable than before.

Besides being faster, the new Lei Ling has a great improvement in driving, that is, it is quieter. The fifth generation system is optimized for PCU power control unit to restrain the excessive increase of engine speed during acceleration. Now, when you step on the accelerator deeply and the engine rotates at high speed, although your voice is still very loud, it is obviously not as hoarse as before.

Not only the noise of the engine under high load has been improved, but also the vibration of the steering wheel and accelerator pedal has been reduced a lot. Now the floor is no longer numb when it is oiled. Generally speaking, after the new Lei Ling is upgraded to the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine system, the power experience has been greatly improved. Coupled with Toyota’s consistent "reliable" characteristics, there is really no shortcoming.

In addition to the power system, Lei Ling has done a very good job in steering and chassis before the change, so there is no need to make any changes in the new model. The steering feels soft but not floating, smooth but not greasy. Chop a corner a little faster, and the feeling of the whole car is very controllable.

However, the leather steering wheel is completely cancelled in the new Ralink. The plastic material is a little slippery, and the surface touch is not as soft and comfortable as leather. It is a small regret for someone who is extremely resistant to the steering wheel cover. If you really want a leather package, you can buy a platform online. All kinds of hand-sewn DIY products cost 50 yuan to solve your worries.

In terms of chassis, Lei Ling under TNGA structure adopts independent suspension in front and rear, McPherson in front and E-shaped multi-link in the back. The chassis has a strong overall feeling and excellent shock-absorbing texture. After potholes or speed bumps, the suspension is very Q-elastic, neither too soft nor stiff.

In fact, this generation of Lei Ling’s control is much better than the previous generation, and the chassis texture is not much worse than that of a higher-level Camry. Now, after the cash Lei Ling has switched to the fifth generation THS, the power experience has been obviously improved. Now the whole car is refreshing, flexible and fuel-efficient, which is enough for ordinary family users to love the feeling of driving.

T-SMART intelligent cockpit

In addition to the upgrade of power system, the biggest change of the new Lei Ling is the upgrade to the T-SMART intelligent cockpit. Now it has the largest 12.3-inch full LCD instrument of its class, a 10.25-inch central control large screen with wireless CarPlay, and a T-CHAT intelligent voice interaction system that can be seen and spoken.

12.3-inch full LCD instrument is equipped with 1.5L self-priming version and dual-engine version; The 10.25-inch central control is standard in 1.5L and 1.8H, and the 1.2T version is a 9-inch screen.

The new car system keeps up with the times in functionality and interactive experience, supports car WeChat, car home interconnection and intelligent scenes, and is also compatible with various rich applications such as bilibili, CCTV audio and video, tiger tooth live broadcast and little red book through the expansion of third-party applets. The UI of the whole car is much more fashionable than before, and the operation logic is easier to understand, so older users don’t have to worry about not using it.

In addition, the "digital key" function is added to the new Lei Ling for the first time. Based on the "Fengyun Yuexiang" car interconnection system, the mobile phone is the key, and comprehensive remote control is realized, including remote mobile phone unlocking, air conditioning control, car light control, car condition checking, etc. One mobile phone can play around Lei Ling. Moreover, the car also supports OTA. If there are any new functions, users can get updates and upgrades without worrying that the car will become obsolete and become furnishings after two or three years of driving.

The biggest surprise of the new Lei Ling car is wireless CarPlay! Apple users expressed ecstasy. In addition to the two 1.2T models, the 1.5L self-priming and 1.8H hybrid models of Rayling all come standard with three mobile phone mapping methods: Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife and Huawei HiCar. Lei Ling’s change this time can be said to fully consider the needs of users.

On the high-profile models, there is also a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, which has a great display effect, providing three types and four styles, forming 12 different combinations. It also covers a lot of information, including subtotal mileage, energy consumption data, power system energy flow, EV driving ratio, multimedia, compass, driving assistance, navigation map and so on.

However, its interface logic is too complicated, and the operation of information switching is cumbersome. For example, through the buttons on the steering wheel, the up and down buttons prompt you to press the left and right buttons, which switch three information interfaces.

However, these three information interfaces need to be preset in advance. If you want to change the settings, you need to follow the system prompts and check them through several levels of menus. That is to say, if what you want to see is not the information you set in the outermost layer in advance, then you will be very troublesome to find, and you may need to keep entering and returning in the menus at all levels. It is even more inconvenient to operate during driving.

In fact, this logic can be completely simplified by switching different information types left and right and switching the same information content up and down, which is easy to understand and has zero learning cost.

T-PILOT intelligent driving assistance system

The new Lei Ling is equipped with Toyota’s new generation T-PILOT intelligent driving assistance system. In addition to the minimum version, the whole system comes standard with Toyota’s latest Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 Zhixing safety suit, realizing quasi-L3-class automatic driving.

TSS3.0 further strengthens and upgrades the original PCS pre-collision system, DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system, LTA lane tracking auxiliary system and LDA lane departure warning system. At the same time, RSA road sign recognition assistance system, EDSS emergency driving stop system and PDA proactive driving assistance system are added, which are two world-first functions.

The EDSS emergency driving stop system will automatically slow down the vehicle when the system determines that the driver can’t continue driving because of fatigue or acute illness during the lane keeping cruise. When the driver is continuously warned that the operation has not resumed, the system will keep the vehicle in the lane and continue to slow down until it stops, and turn on the double flash to wait for rescue.

EDSS emergency driving stop system

PDA predictive active driving assistance system will slow down or brake pedestrians, bicycles or cars passing laterally at a distance of 30-80km/h, and if collision cannot be avoided within 4.5 seconds, it will actively turn 50 cm in the opposite direction to the target object to avoid excessive approach. This function can work no matter day or night, rain, snow, sunny, cloudy and other weather.

Shape change

The appearance is the smallest part of the change in Lei Ling, and the overall shape is basically the same as the old one. The new Lei Ling still offers two appearances, the normal version and the sports version. The main difference lies in the front and rear bars and wheel hub shapes. There are eight choices of body colors, and there are three different color schemes for the interior, among which gray is exclusive to the 1.2T version.

The appearance of the new sports version retains the design of trapezoidal big mouth and expands to both sides, which is visually more impactful and wider than the ordinary version. The new model adds the same color decorative strips on both sides of the front bumper, and forms an extension effect, which makes the whole look more stretched.

Previously, the ordinary version and the sports version used different shapes of light group designs, while the new version adopted a unified style, and the daytime running lights also became more atmospheric and more recognizable C-shaped structure, taking into account the function of turn signals.

The hub has also adopted a new style, with thinner spokes and a stronger sense of movement. Bridgestone Tairan series is still used for tires, and the sports tire size is 225/45R17; The normal tire size is 205/55 R16.

In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new Ralink are 4640×1780×1435mm and the wheelbase is 2700mm, which is not large among cars of the same price and belongs to the standard compact car body. If there is a demand for the back row space, the extended version of "Lei Ling"-Lingshang will be a better choice, and I believe Lingshang will soon be upgraded and redesigned.

The rear of the new Lei Ling is almost the same as the old one. The original body color decorative board at the bottom of the rear bumper of the sports version has changed into a pure black diffuser design, and the taillight style is also consistent with the old one.

In fact, this generation of Lei Ling is very good at face value, with a sharp overall style, a sporty and youthful look and a simple design. Therefore, the appearance of the new Lei Ling does not need to be drastically changed, and a small change is enough to keep it fresh.

Total knot

The new Lei Ling, whose appearance has hardly changed, has actually been greatly upgraded. The power is equipped with Toyota’s latest intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine system, which is the first landing model of Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid technology in China. The cockpit adopts a brand-new 10.25-inch central control screen system and a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument screen, which enhances the functionality a lot. Apple CarPlay and Huawei HiCar are also connected. Driver assistance and active safety functions have also been upgraded to the latest T-PILOT system. The overall strength has been greatly improved. At present, the new Lei Ling has been officially listed, and the price of the whole department is 113,800-148,800 yuan, which can be said to be quite attractive.

The shadow bugs in the world all begin with movies that eat away at the world.

Last weekend, according to the film directed by Bong Joon ho,Snow country trainAdaptedAmerican drama of the same nameIt premiered on TNT TV in the United States (Netflix was launched on May 25).

In contrast, compared with the film version of the international big coffee-class cast, the drama version of the starring Cass has shrunk a lot in order of magnitude, and many faces are too strange.

Fortunately, the female No.1 in the play has long locked in the Hollywood goddess generation.Jennifer Lynn ConnellyIt will not make this drama version with a well-known IP look too shabby in casting.

When it comes to Jennifer Lynn Connelly, everyone’s first impression is still that she is making her debut.Once upon a time in AmericaThat amazing Debra dance in the movie.

A netizen in Zhihu said that after seeing once in America, she went to watch all her other movies, which shows the charm of the goddess.

This year, Jennifer Lynn Connelly, who has been in business for 36 years, is about to enter.50 years old.

"Snow Country Train" is her first work to meet the audience after last year’s "Alita". If there is no accident, she will partner with Tom.Top gun 2It will also be released at the end of the year.

Top Gun: Maverick is currently scheduled to be released in North America on December 23rd.

In Hollywood Vanity Fair, where the competition for newcomers is fierce, Jennifer Connery has not left the scene for more than 30 years, but is not limited by her age, and is increasingly favored by big productions and big IP.

such"reverse growth" trendFor a 14-year-old female artist who is under the spotlight, it is really rare.

How many beauties in Hollywood have failed to escape?The curse of a good skinSome are self-indulgent and some are involuntarily.

Needless to say, for a long time in the past, the female stars introduced by Hollywood companies controlled by men were nothing more than pleasing the public with their hue.

They went from"Hunting" all over the worldIn an attempt to dig up more girls who first let them and then let the audience covet.

But there are always some excellent actresses who break their frivolity and prejudice.Of course, it is not to deny the appearance, but to impress the audience with acting skills on this basis.

Vivien Leigh (1913 ~ 1967)

For example, there is a saying that is used to evaluate.Vivien Leigh(Gone with the Wind, Oscar for Best Actress)-"She has such beauty without acting, and she has such acting without beauty.”。

The above evaluation also applies to Jennifer Lynn Connelly. But before this recognition, she also went through a long period of transformation.

Before the age of 19, because of her mature temperament beyond her age in Once upon a time in America, Jennifer played many similar precocious roles, and the other two are representativeMagic maze(1986) andDeath of the Swan（1989）。

She is playing against a generation of rock stars.David BowieThe two have a sharp contrast, one is handsome and the other is wild. Working with david bowie at a young age is precious enough.

According to Jennifer Lynn Connelly’s husband, that is, "vision"Paul BettanyHe said that when he was a child, he regarded Jennifer as his dream lover after watching Once upon a Time in America and Magic Labyrinth.

Later cooperationA Beautiful MindWhen the two formally met (there is a supplement to their feelings below).

Death of a Swan is a masterpiece that has been relatively neglected.19-year-old Jennifer has shown the crazy state of being completely immersed in the role in Requiem for a Dream.

In the film, she plays a ballerina. When rehearsing Swan Lake, she finds herself strangely connected with a dead ballerina. The white swan, which was originally pure and kind, gradually slides to the black swan, which hides evil …

Later helped natalie portman win the Oscar-winning title.Black swan(2010) is a sister version of Death of a Swan, except that Natalie was 29 when she played Black Swan and Jennifer was only 19 when she played it.

Besides trying to mature her role many times at an early age, Jennifer Lynn Connelly didn’t give up her studies. She studied in two famous universities, Yale and Stanford, and studied many languages.

The boiling point of passion, 1990.

The university campus life that is completely different from the crew also makes her next role less heavy.A beautiful adolescent girl with a little baby fatIt has become the symbol image of her years, and the most typical one is that the contiguous names are extremely appropriate.Spirits fly（1991）。

In the film, she plays the rebellious daughter of a local rich businessman. In order to deliberately oppose her father, she "confessed" to the ordinary supermarket working boy, and two young people with very different identities gave birth to a relationship.

On quality,"Spirits fly" is just a low-cost little rotten film that is straightforward and naive and meets the fantasy of teenagers..

However, because of Jennifer’s immortal face value and graceful figure, this film has a high onlookers value in bilibili so far, and the short comments on opening Douban are full of praise for Jennifer.

After the age of 20, Jennifer Lynn Connelly has stepped out of the frame of her actress image in Once upon a time in America. While releasing the youthful and glamorous atmosphere, her bodySexy labelIt is also attracting more and more attention.

Boiling point of passion（1990）、Battlefield of Heroes（1994）、Muhlan jump(1996) has a large scale of nudity, the first two parts are different fromDon Johnson(Father of fifty shades of grey heroine Dakota Johnson), Spanish male god.Antonio BanderasWaiting for the male stars to cooperate in intimate scenes.

But just when everyone thought that this beautiful embryo who has repeatedly undressed might find it difficult to take off her sexy label, she was already accumulating strength for the next decade.

In 1998, Jennifer appeared indark cityAn underrated sci-fi film with the same theme as The Matrix. She plays a singer, an equally mysterious existence in the process of the hero’s memory confusion and identity loss.

This is her first time to appear in a serious high-concept science fiction film. Her clothes are wrapped and her temperament has changed greatly.

The following year, she took on an independent film with the reputation of being a god.requiem for a dream(2000), in the director’s drugged psychedelic atmosphere and a large number of close-ups and subjective shots, Jennifer gave a performance state that was even more selfless than Death of a Swan.

Jennifer just turned 30 after Requiem for a Dream. In just two or three years, no one has described her with sexy vases, eyeballs and other words.

Taking advantage of the situation, Jennifer went from independent films.Quickly return to mainstream production., an Oscar hit movie with russell crowe.A Beautiful Mind(2001) Let her finally win.Best supporting actress.

The first high-gold award recognition in the past 16 years.

This film is her most cherished and proud work, and it alsoTherefore, the film became attached to her future husband paul bettany.They got married in 2003.

There is a very special story behind the acquaintance and love of two people.

As mentioned earlier, paul bettany regarded Jennifer as her dream lover when she was a teenager, but they were only in the same group when filming A Beautiful Mind, and they didn’t directly play opposite each other. The confession took place one year later.

At that time9.11 incidentWhen it happened, Paul happened to be on the street of new york. He witnessed the plane crashing into the World Trade Center. At that moment, he realized that many people’s lives had been completely changed.

Like a sudden confusion, he called Jennifer for two days after he ran home (they were not familiar at the time), and the first sentence after the connection was ""I’m coming to see you now. Let’s get married.”。

The phone actually answered Yes, so they came together and spent seventeen years with each other, known as the Hollywood fairy couple.

After the peak of career and a happy family, Jennifer Lynn Connelly’s works are relatively narrow in popularity.

In addition to working with Ang Lee,Hulk(2003), cooperation with Xiao LiziBlood diamond(2006) Except for the two blockbusters, the rest are mostly literary films or medium-cost films for American audiences, such asmassugu ni ikou（2017）。

Last year’s Alita was a commercial blockbuster that she returned to the mainstream after many years.Image meaning is greater than performance meaning.After all, Dr. Elaine in the original comic book needs a talented and qualified actress to match.

Next, I have to wait patiently for her "Top Gun 2" with Tom Cruise.Both of them are over 50.They have also been the dream lovers of countless boys and girls. This cooperation is meaningful.

While writing this tweet, Xiaowan also took a look at bilibili’s various stories about Jennifer Lynn Connelly.

A distinct feeling-just like Hong Kong movie actresses in the golden age, no matter how many years have passed, the beauty of temperament will always be remembered.

Produced by iQiyi and Stellar Gravity Media, with Ying Dai, Wang Yixu and Zhang Yucheng as the chief producers and Zhao Yilong as the director, I’m Going Against the Wind, an excellent urban workplace drama adapted from a novel with the same name, was officially launched on December 7, which tells the story of a national brand’s revival under the impact of e-commerce economy. Xu Si, played by Simon, is a cold, rational and sharp-eyed investor. In the play, he will experience entrepreneurship and reform with many like-minded young partners and go to the ideal business road.

The essence of the original works blends with the background of the times and innovates again. Xu Sili’s pioneering work has stood on the forefront through reform.

"I want to go against the wind" is adapted from the work of the same name by the best-selling emotional novel author Wu Zai. The author combines the commercial workplace with urban love, and his writing is solid, the plot is ups and downs, and he can freely accept it, which has won praise from many readers. What fresh highlights will this film adaptation bring?

Today, the official blog "I want to go against the wind" released a lineup poster and a short film. From many materials, we can see that Xu Si, the male actor played by Simon, has sharp eyes, a strong gas field, and a business elite temperament. His eyes look calm and firm between light and shadow. Among them, the two editions of posters indicate that the characters are about to sail against the wind, and they are going up and down to seek last stand.

The previous works of the cast of "I want to go against the wind" have been widely praised, and the heartfelt comments from netizens such as "Fairy Casting" and "Conscience Cast" have made this urban theme work highly anticipated. The old opera bones and many powerful actors joined in, and the original author made great efforts to ensure the quality of the works, and created high-quality works with more characteristics and tone of the times on the basis of retaining the essence of the original works. "I want to go against the wind" will certainly be worth looking forward to.

Simon breaks through the interpretation of cold and sharp business upstart Xu Si sailing against the wind to protect the revival of national brands

The character of Xu Si, the hero of I Want to Go Against the Wind, is quite different from the role played by Simon before. Xu Si is purer and more rational; He is young and successful, decisive and crisp, conceited and confident about the business language he insists on, and even a little cold and sharp. In business, he is an investor who pays more attention to the return on investment. Between Xu Si and the heroine, from the opponent to the comrades who walk side by side, it is like a contest and a competition. The collision of his values and career views with the Jianghu in the process of starting a business, the differences and reconciliation of career ideas and personal feelings are the true portrayal of every ordinary person who rushes into the sea and spreads his arms against the current in the great era. Xu Si changed from a businessman who only looked at the dividends of the times to a guardian of national manufacturing, which not only showed the insight and national feelings of a new generation of entrepreneurs, but also reflected the patriotism of contemporary young people.

This year, Gong Jun has received extensive attention because of the popularity of many works. In the choice and interpretation of works, he has been constantly breaking through, and the roles in each work are different. In this "I want to go against the wind", I believe that Simon will give full play to the different aspects of the characters’ personalities within his control. Riding the wind, traveling thousands of miles, let’s look forward to the wonderful performance of actor Simon in "I want to go against the wind"!

On September 12th, Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao and Hong Kong Business Daily also published and forwarded this article.The main reports are as follows:

　　The 4th Eastern Economic Forum was held in Vladivostok, the Russian Far East city, from September 11th to 13th. The supreme leader of president, China, and many heads of state or government from Northeast Asia, as well as delegations from more than 60 countries, attended the forum with high specifications and large scale, all of which were the highest in the history of the forum.

　　The Eastern Economic Forum was personally initiated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2015, and it was one of many "look east" decisions made by Russia in the context of the rapid deterioration of relations with the United States and Europe. Russia’s policy of "looking east" was once regarded by the west as a "temporary strategic adjustment" to ease the pressure of sanctions. Some media even questioned "Looking east, can Russia see its future?" However, with the acceleration of Russia’s eastward pace in recent years, "looking eastward" is increasingly showing the characteristics of Russia’s long-term national strategy.

　　Looking eastward, Russia saw that Sino-Russian cooperation created huge dividends. As Russia’s largest trading partner, China has sent a large-scale and high-standard delegation to attend the first Eastern Economic Forum in 2015 every year. The presence of the Chairman of the Supreme Leader at the forum is the first appearance of China’s head of state at the Eastern Economic Forum, which fully demonstrates China’s positive attitude of participating in the cooperation in the East.

　　The cooperation between China and Russia in the Far East is playing an increasingly important role in the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries. At present, China is Russia’s largest trading partner and the largest source of foreign investment in the Far East, with a total investment of about US$ 4 billion. Twenty-six Chinese-funded enterprises have settled in Russia’s "Advanced Development Zone" and Vladivostok Freeport specially set up for the development of the Far East. At the same time, the two sides are also jointly promoting the construction of a river across the Sino-Russian border — — Railway and highway bridge projects in Heilongjiang to comprehensively improve the interconnection level of infrastructure in the border areas of the two countries. Undoubtedly, deepening Sino-Russian cooperation is an important part of Russia’s "looking eastward".

　　Looking eastward, Russia sees the expansion space of regional cooperation in Northeast Asia. The Eastern Economic Forum has been successfully held for three times, which has had a positive impact in Northeast Asia. During the forum last year, a total of 2.5 trillion rubles were signed, and this figure is expected to exceed 3.5 trillion this year.

　　Northeast Asia is rich in resources, mature in market and huge in potential. In addition to the Chairman of the Supreme Leader, the leaders of Northeast Asian countries attending this Eastern Economic Forum also include Mongolian President Battulga, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean Prime Minister Lee Luoyuan, which fully shows the willingness of countries in the region to strengthen cooperation. At present, several bilateral or multilateral cooperation frameworks in Northeast Asia are gradually taking shape: the construction of China-Russia-Mongolia Economic Corridor has achieved initial results, the negotiation of China-Japan-ROK Free Trade Agreement is accelerating, and the ROK and the DPRK are expected to formally carry out economic cooperation. At the same time, the positive attitude of countries in the region towards the "Belt and Road" has gradually condensed into a consensus. In this context, the presence of the Chairman of the Supreme Leader and leaders of many countries in Northeast Asia at the Eastern Economic Forum is expected to further enhance regional cooperation and further promote the "Belt and Road" in Northeast Asia. This is undoubtedly a major positive for Russia to revitalize the Far East.

　　Looking eastward, Russia sees the development opportunities brought by the "express train" of the Asia-Pacific economy. The Far East is rich in natural resources and is known as "the only treasure house in the world that has not been dug deep". However, due to problems such as slow economic growth, backward infrastructure and serious population loss, this "treasure house" has so far failed to reflect its due strategic significance and economic value. Based on the strategic consideration of the balanced development between the east and the west, Russia has promoted the development of the Far East to the height of national strategy in recent years.

　　Behind this strategy is the rapid economic growth in Asia-Pacific region. As one of the most active and fastest growing regions in the global economy, the Asia-Pacific economic circle is a huge consumer market and a potential source of investment for Russia. Developing the Far East is not only an internal demand of local economic and social development, but also a way to let Russia catch the "express train" of rapid economic development in the Asia-Pacific region. According to Russian customs statistics, the proportion of trade between Russia and APEC member countries in Russia’s foreign trade has increased from 20% 10 years ago to 31% in 2017. According to a poll in 2016, 70% of Russians believe that cooperation with countries in the Asia-Pacific region "has more advantages than disadvantages".

　　It should be pointed out that Russia’s "looking eastward" is not the product of western sanctions against Russia, but the deterioration of relations with the West has accelerated the pace of Russia’s eastward advancement to some extent. Even so, Europe is still an important trading partner of Russia. In 2017, the trade volume between Russia and EU countries still accounted for more than 40% of Russia’s foreign trade. Therefore, "looking east" does not mean that Russia will give up the West, especially its cooperation with Europe. Russia, like the double-headed eagle on its national emblem, will always focus on both the east and the west, but from the development trend, looking eastward, the vision is wider and the scenery is more beautiful.

Special feature of 1905 film network The summer file just closed, becoming the biggest winner with 2.9 billion box office.By combining science fiction with comedy, Mahua FunAge not only achieved his own breakthrough, but also expanded the genre dimension of China’s science fiction films in terms of content and production.

For modeling director Liang Tingting, Moon Man’s creative process is undoubtedly a pioneering journey from scratch, from 0 to 1.How to integrate comedy elements into traditional sci-fi modeling, how to give consideration to science and aesthetics in design, and how does the beloved King Kong mouse put on a customized spacesuit?

Behind the scenes of this issue, let’s follow Liang Tingting, explore Moon Man’s clothing library together, and understand the story behind "Minions".

"Minions"

Convey a sense of joy and comedy with warm colors.

Deep blue quiet universe, gray moon surface, white space suit … When it comes to science fiction films, most of the cool colors that come to mind are full of futuristic and technological sense.

However, in Moon Man, the most impressive thing is the bright yellow, full of cheerful vitality and vitality, which coincides with the comedy style of the film.

Liang Tingting said frankly that his original spacesuit was dominated by "conventional" white, and "yellow" was the director’s insistence.

"His goal is very clear, and he wants the feeling of a happy Minions on the moon. Warm colors are more matched with comedy elements."

In order to enhance the aesthetics, Liang Tingting not only uses yellow with different lightness and saturation to increase the layering, but also skillfully adds elements such as white, sapphire blue and red to embellish, creating an unexpected "advanced" texture.

This design also makes Moon Man’s clothes stand out among the sci-fi films, which is unforgettable.

The "traditional" white spacesuit is applied to the dresses of other astronauts such as Ma Lanxing and glasses, which is in sharp contrast with Du Guyue and Gangzi, and it is also a visual adjustment.

"Tailor-made"

Details highlight the characteristics of people.

The service-oriented design of movies should not only pay attention to aesthetics, but also serve the characters and performances, and so should Moon Man.

Take the actor Du Guyue as an example. In the movie, he has eight sets of clothes, among which there are dozens of T-shirts with different patterns such as short sleeves and long sleeves, plus jackets, vests, suspenders and other equipment, which are countless.

In the specific design, in order to highlight the decadent state of the characters guarding the moon alone, the costume team seized a key word — — "greasy"

"He thought he was the only human being left, so at first he was in a state of ruin. We also made the clothes old and greasy, and the size was looser than normal, which highlighted the feeling of untidiness," Liang Tingting said.

At the same time, according to his status as a maintenance worker, the team also added a lot of clever ideas to the details, such as many pockets on the pants of work clothes and many small holes in the belt, which is convenient for carrying maintenance tools and so on.

With the development of the story and the change of Duguyue’s mentality, there are also different makeup and hairstyles to match it.

At the beginning, the "rotten" stage was unkempt and unshaven. After resuming contact with the earth, the appearance was immediately renewed and full of energy. Bags under the eyes, dark circles and decrees are obviously different from before.

If these are just routine operations, the hilarious "female kangaroo" shape is definitely a stroke of genius.When designing, Liang Tingting also started from the story itself: "What tools can Du Guyue use alone in the cabin? What kind of female kangaroo suit can you make? "

Finally, she chose to use hand-painted graffiti combined with Du Guyue’s casual clothes to create a "cartoon version" of the female kangaroo, which is full of childlike interest and joy, and has become one of the important burdens of the film.

Looking back to the earth, because we have just experienced a disaster, the overall dress style of human beings on earth is mainly simple.

The uniforms of base personnel such as Ma Lanxing are dominated by dark colors, all of which have been polished, and the design of uniforms is also based on simplicity, highlighting the capable and cool side of characters.

Among the post-disaster group images, the "No.1 Star" played is the most special, and the subversive bald hairstyle is full of laughter.

Liang Tingting was also deeply impressed by this: "Z.TAO played a star who was trapped in the subway by a disaster. In the end, there was no star burden and appearance concern at all. This bald shape is very helpful for him to show the inner state of the characters. "

"technology flow"

The design of spacesuit contains Gankun.

What’s it like to run and jump with Weiya on your back? This is the daily life of Shen Teng and the actor who plays King Kong Mouse on the set.

Liang Tingting revealed that the real spacesuit is even heavier than 40 kg, and its volume is even larger. When wearing it, actors can hardly make large-scale body movements such as turning their heads, reaching out and lifting their feet.

Therefore, the first step in the design is to "slim down" and "reduce the weight" of the spacesuit. First, the overall size is reduced, which is more suitable for human wear. Secondly, 3D printing is selected as the material, which effectively reduces the total weight.

According to the action requirements of different scenes, spacesuits will also be "ever-changing".

"The appearance looks the same, but the amount of relaxation is actually different. For example, if he wants to raise his hand or fight, he will relax more in his armpits, neck, back and other parts," Liang Tingting explained. "Such a person needs to prepare many sets of clothes, all of which add up to nearly 50 spacesuits. In this science fiction film, the amount of clothing is very large. "

Although the size and weight have been reduced, the modeling team insists that the basic functions and structure of the spacesuit cannot be changed, such as the closed structure in a vacuum environment, and the rigor of these details cannot be relaxed at all.

In addition to the basic design of the spacesuit, the screen on the chest of the arm, the life support system on the back and the helmet on the head also contain Gan Kun.The arm screen is not only decorative, but also as big as buttons and small as light bulbs. Most of them can be operated in real life. Strictly speaking, it belongs to the field of industrial design, which is a big challenge for the Liang Tingting team.

"The circuits and batteries inside are real. We can say that we have experienced the whole process of electronic products from design to production, and also broadened my design field."

Compared with Dugu Yue, it is undoubtedly more difficult to make King Kong mice wear spacesuits. Liang Tingting and his team have repeatedly studied and tested how to approach kangaroos infinitely in appearance and make actors move more easily.

They first studied the joint position and muscle direction of the kangaroo, and designed a "filler" to transform the actor’s figure into a kangaroo.

At the same time, in order to make the actors move more freely, the modeling team also designed several sets of King Kong mouse spacesuits to adapt to different postures such as squatting, jumping and sitting.

The most distinctive thing is the design of kangaroo’s "claws". Are the five fingers separated or put on gloves as a whole? Liang Tingting finally chose to combine realism with artistic processing, and his fingers can be opened and closed, especially in the scene of saying goodbye to Duguyue, where Gangzi kept scratching the hatch with gloves, which was both lovely and touching and impressive.

In this issue of "Behind the scenes" recording, the host also personally went into battle and experienced the feeling of becoming an "astronaut". Unexpectedly, the process of wearing a spacesuit only requires three people to help, which is very complicated and complicated. The life support system behind it is also quite heavy, which puts a lot of pressure on the spine.

After some practical experience, we can’t help but pay tribute to the actors and the behind-the-scenes team. Wearing a 40-kilogram spacesuit, you can imagine the efforts you have made to complete all kinds of actions under the condition that every move is very difficult.

Just as Hao Han, the actor who plays King Kong Mouse, has been preparing for a "faceless" role for 11 months without complaining, Liang Tingting and the modeling team are also "unsung heroes" behind Moon Man’s 2.9 billion box office.

Adding a touch of bright color to the film with costume modeling, Liang Tingting and Moon Man jointly completed a breakthrough and innovation of domestic science fiction.

CCTV News:The General Administration of Customs announced on March 7 that in the first two months of this year, China’s import and export of goods increased by 8.7% year-on-year, and exports reached double-digit growth, making foreign trade a "good start".

In the first two months of this year, the total import and export value of China’s goods trade was 6.61 trillion yuan, up 8.7% year-on-year. Among them, the export was 3.75 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.3%; Imports reached 2.86 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%.

Behind the good start, China’s export growth performance is bright and its competitive advantage is consolidated. Exports of superior products such as automobiles, household appliances and ships increased by 15.8%, 24.3% and 180.6% respectively.

Diversified trading partners and vigorous private economy.

According to the data released by the General Administration of Customs, in the first two months of this year, the import and export of foreign trade between China and its major trading partners maintained a growth momentum, and the international market layout with close regional cooperation and diversified progress continued to be optimized.

Customs statistics show that in the first two months of this year, China imported and exported 3.13 trillion yuan to countries that jointly built the Belt and Road Initiative, up 9% year-on-year, accounting for 47.3% of China’s total import and export value. Among them, the import and export to ASEAN was 993.24 billion yuan, an increase of 8.1%; Imports and exports to five Central Asian countries reached 95.09 billion yuan, an increase of 26%. In the same period, the import and export to other RCEP member countries was 1.94 trillion yuan, an increase of 3.5%; Imports and exports to Latin America reached 587.48 billion yuan, up by 17.3%; Imports and exports to Africa reached 338.94 billion yuan, up by 17.3%.

After the Spring Festival, in Taizhou, the country’s largest private shipbuilding base and national ship export base, various ship companies are busy. In this dock, 14 ocean-going ships are being built at the same time.

At present, Jiangsu Taizhou has been successfully selected into the national advanced manufacturing cluster by virtue of its advantageous industries such as offshore equipment and high-tech ships. High-end ship types such as oil tankers, LNG dual-fuel power ships and super-large container ships are favored by the international market and become the "trump card" products for enterprises to attract international orders.

Develop new products, cultivate new formats, apply new technologies, and optimize market layout. Since the beginning of 2024, various departments and foreign trade entities in various regions have faced difficulties and taken measures simultaneously to seize new market opportunities and create new competitive advantages in innovation and change.

Customs statistics show that in the first two months of this year, the import and export of private enterprises in China was 3.61 trillion yuan, up 17.7% year-on-year, accounting for 54.6% of the total import and export value, up 4.2 percentage points from the same period last year.

"Going out to sea" service continues to increase, and enterprises seize the "spring economy"

At present, the "spring economy" has ushered in the peak of consumption. In overseas consumer markets, outdoor leisure products such as tents, beach chairs and travel bags are also popular among consumers. During this period, Ningbo Customs actively docked the enterprises exporting outdoor leisure products in its jurisdiction, sorted out the export difficulties and pain points of enterprises, and formulated a personalized supervision and protection plan to help enterprises seize the "spring economy".

Early in the morning, Ningbo Customs staff came to the company to give guidance on shipping, customs clearance, inspection and other issues in the export business of enterprises. The surge of orders and the extended shipping time compared with previous years have brought a lot of pressure to enterprises.

In March, the peak season of hiking and outing is coming, and outdoor leisure products will also usher in the peak season of sales. Ningbo Customs has further improved its overall supervision efficiency by implementing measures such as "reporting and checking immediately" and "booking customs clearance". At the same time, we will open up the whole chain of delivery policies and fully guarantee the timely delivery of corporate orders.

In 2024, it is planned to issue 1 trillion yuan of ultra-long-term special government bonds.

This year’s "Government Work Report" proposes that from this year, it is planned to issue ultra-long-term special government bonds for several consecutive years, specifically for the implementation of major national strategies and the building of security capabilities in key areas, with an initial issuance of 1 trillion yuan this year. Why do you want to issue "ultra-long-term special government bonds" this year? What is the significance of issuing ultra-long-term special government bonds?

National debt is a kind of government bond issued by the state to raise financial funds, which has the highest credit and is recognized as the safest investment tool. In the bond market, it is generally considered that interest rate bonds with a maturity of more than 10 years are "ultra-long-term bonds". The so-called "special" refers to the national debt issued for a specific goal with a clear purpose, and the funds need to be earmarked.

This year, China’s proactive fiscal policy should be "moderately strengthened", mainly by making good use of fiscal policy space, combining various policy tools, maintaining an appropriate expenditure scale, and promoting a sustained economic recovery.

Experts said that the ultra-long-term special national debt is aimed at two aspects, one is the implementation of major national strategies, and the other is the construction of security capacity in key areas. These areas are aimed at the long term and are closely combined with the task of Chinese modernization.

Wu Sa, deputy director of the Economic Research Institute of China Macroeconomic Research Institute, said that, for example, new urbanization, rural revitalization, rejuvenating the country through science and education, food security, energy security, etc., these areas are in urgent need of some medium-and long-term investments, and these investments will be issued through ultra-long-term special government bonds, because the issuance period of government bonds is longer, and the economic and social benefits in these areas are also longer, and they match each other and can better play the special pulling role of ultra-long-term government bonds.

China has tried visa-free policies for six countries including Switzerland since March 14th.

The Department of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on March 7 that in order to further promote the exchange of Chinese and foreign personnel, China decided to expand the scope of visa-free countries and try out visa-free policies for ordinary passport holders in Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg. During the period from March 14th to November 30th, 2024, people with ordinary passports from the above-mentioned countries may come to China for business, sightseeing, visiting relatives and friends and transit for less than 15 days, and may enter China without a visa. Those who do not meet the visa-free conditions in the above countries still need to complete their visas to China before entering the country.

In February, the global manufacturing purchasing managers index was 49.1%.

China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing released on March 6th that the global purchasing managers’ index of manufacturing industry was 49.1% in February, down 0.2 percentage points from last month, and remained above 49% for two consecutive months. The recovery of global manufacturing industry is relatively stable, but it still maintains a low growth pattern. In February, the purchasing managers’ index of Asian manufacturing industry was 50.3%, which remained above 50% for two consecutive months.

For the first time, China telecom enterprises obtained the international telecom code number resources of satellite communication services.

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that China Telecom Group Co., Ltd. has been approved by the international telecommunications department recently, and obtained the user dialing number and network identification number of Tiantong satellite service. This is the first time that China telecom enterprises have obtained international telecom code number resources for satellite communication services.

The "Silk Road Shipping" route has exceeded 14,000 times.

According to Xiamen Customs, by the end of February, the "Silk Road Shipping" route had operated more than 14,000 times, and the container throughput exceeded 16.6 million TEUs, reaching 106 ports in 37 countries and regions jointly building the "Belt and Road".

The two departments issued opinions to minimize the inconvenience of litigation for disabled people.

On March 6th, the Supreme People’s Court and China Disabled Persons’ Federation jointly issued their opinions, and for the first time made specific specifications for the barrier-free environment construction of litigation service places of people’s courts. Encourage qualified courts to make special marks on cases involving disabled persons, so as to realize priority in filing, trial and execution. For the disabled who can’t handle litigation matters independently on the spot, arrange special personnel to provide agency and deputy services.

Haixi, Qinghai: Red deer, a national second-class protected animal, appears in wetland park.

A few days ago, a photographer took a moving picture of the national second-class protected animal red deer in Buha River Wetland Park, Tianjun County, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province. There are dozens of red deer in this group. They take a leisurely walk in the wetland park, stop and watch from time to time, and then queue up to cross the river ice. In recent years, with the improvement of local ecological environment, more and more wild animals thrive here.

"Just bear with it" is the attitude of many elderly people towards pain. They are afraid of causing trouble to their children and spending money in hospitals.

However, there is a very common skin disease, which must not be tolerated. In addition to causing severe pain, it may also cause posthumous neuralgia. There are even rumors among the people that life will end when the waist is covered with a circle and the head and tail are connected.

This "terrible" skin disease, many people have heard its name-herpes zoster, commonly known as waist-wrapped snake, snake disc sore.

01

About herpes zoster, these four points should be known and benefited early.

When it comes to herpes zoster, people who have had it all turn pale, because it really hurts. How much does it hurt? China medical community divides pain into 10 grades, labor pains into 8 grades, and the pain of herpes zoster is the highest grade of 10.

Herpes zoster is an infectious skin disease caused by varicella-zoster virus. The nature of pain during the attack is varied, but it is usually hidden in the body and "waiting for opportunities". More than 90% of adults carry it, and the virus cannot be completely eliminated after infection.

It is precisely because of the universality of herpes zoster virus that we need to have a correct understanding of it and avoid falling into misunderstanding.

1. Will it hurt to get herpes zoster?

Although most infected people will experience intense pain after the onset, not everyone will feel this way. Some people may not feel obvious pain after infection, which is normal. Individual differences lead to different nerve repair ability of each person, so the degree of feeling will be different.

However, even if there is no pain, the patient cannot ignore the condition. For patients who have no obvious pain, they should still take the initiative to seek medical help to prevent further deterioration of their condition.

2. Only old people get this?

Herpes zoster is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, especially those over 50 years old are more likely to get sick and often show serious symptoms.

But it is not only the elderly who get it. Herpes zoster is characterized by decreased immunity. Herpes zoster virus has been lurking in the body. When the body’s resistance drops, whether it is due to fatigue, life pressure, infection or cold, the latent virus may be activated and proliferated rapidly.

In particular, many patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatoid arthritis and other people with low immune function, need to pay more attention to the risk of herpes zoster regardless of age.

3. I won’t get it again after I get it once?

Once infected, herpes zoster will be carried for life and may recur at any time. Herpes virus has a common feature, that is, it will lurk in the body after the first infection, and the virus in the body may be activated again under the influence of factors such as decreased immunity, aging, chronic disease or fatigue.

4. Is herpes zoster not contagious?

Although herpes zoster is not as contagious as chickenpox, herpes fluid is indeed contagious. Especially in the active stage of herpes zoster, patients may transmit the virus in the blister fluid to infants and adults who are not vaccinated around them.

Therefore, during the treatment, it is best for individuals with herpes zoster to keep a distance from infants and the elderly to reduce the risk of transmission.

How to treat quickly? Is the folk method good?

In terms of treatment, western medicine usually adopts antiviral drugs, hormones, B vitamins and analgesics as the main treatment methods, and the course of treatment is generally 3 ~ 6 weeks.

Traditional Chinese medicine has the advantage of shortening the course of treatment (usually 4 ~ 6 days). The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine has the advantages of excellent analgesic effect, rapid and reliable curative effect, and no adverse reactions.

Zhang Binghou, chief physician of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine affiliated to Capital Medical University, said that neuralgia is the main symptom of herpes zoster. In the course of treatment, the treatment emphasis should be different according to the different stages of the disease. For example, in the early stage of rash, the treatment focuses on clearing heat and cooling blood; In the eruption period, the main focus is on promoting diuresis and dredging collaterals; In the stage of postherpetic neuralgia, the focus of treatment is on promoting blood circulation and relieving pain.

In addition to dialectical treatment, at the same time, targeted external treatment methods such as electroacupuncture, moxibustion, pricking blood therapy, fire needle and ear acupuncture can also reduce the occurrence of neuralgia after herpes zoster.

1. Electroacupuncture

Stimulating Jiaji point of local corresponding ganglion segment of herpes by electroacupuncture can reduce the signal conduction flux of neuropathic pain, thus effectively inhibiting pain.

2. moxibustion

The analgesic effect of moxibustion on herpes zoster and neuralgia after herpes zoster is related to the instantaneous receptor potential vanillic acid subtype 1, which can increase the thermal pain threshold of the body and produce obvious analgesic effect.

3. Pricking blood and cupping

Through the pressure of blood flow on blood vessels during pricking blood, it can promote the synthesis of nitric oxide, regulate leukocyte adhesion, inhibit inflammatory injury and relieve pain, and at the same time relax blood vessels and increase local blood supply.

Step 4 fire needle

After burning red at high temperature, the fire needle pierces the skin, inhibits T proinflammatory cytokines, reduces inflammatory reaction and protects local nerves and tissues.

5. Ear acupuncture

By stimulating the distribution area of vagus nerve in the concha, non-harmful vagus nerve stimulation is produced, and effective analgesic effect is achieved.

It must be noted that Chinese medicine treatment is not equal to folk prescription. Some traditional folk remedies, such as washing herbs and applying ink, have no scientific basis, and their therapeutic effects are of no practical use. On the contrary, these unscientific treatments can not only relieve the pain of patients, but also lead to skin inflammation, infection, ulceration and other complications, further aggravating the condition.

High incidence in winter, a preventive method is very effective.

In winter, due to the cold weather and reduced exercise, human immunity is generally reduced, which makes herpes zoster especially high.

In order to prevent herpes zoster, we can take the following measures:

Step 1 enhance physical fitness

One of the easiest ways to improve one’s disease resistance is to keep a good sleep. T cells play an important role in the fight against viruses, and lack of adequate sleep will lead to a decrease in the number of T cells, thus reducing the function of the immune system. At the same time, maintaining regular exercise habits also helps to enhance physical fitness.

It is also crucial to maintain a balanced nutrition. Increasing the intake of nutritious foods such as beans, fish and lean meat can effectively improve resistance.

2. Avoid contact with chickenpox patients

People who have never experienced varicella or been vaccinated with varicella vaccine, especially children and the elderly with low immunity, should avoid close contact with patients with herpes zoster to reduce the possibility of virus transmission.

3. People over 50 need special attention.

Due to the gradual weakening of cellular immune function, age is an important factor of herpes zoster, and almost all people over 50 years old are at risk of developing herpes zoster.

4. Vaccinate in time

Consider vaccination against herpes zoster, which is one of the effective methods to prevent herpes zoster at present. The protective efficacy of recombinant herpes zoster vaccine is over 90%, and the protective efficacy is maintained at around 89% in 10 years. The model predicts the immune response that can last for 20 years. In view of the fact that herpes zoster may cause severe postherpetic neuralgia, vaccination is an important preventive measure and should be implemented as soon as possible.

Comprehensive preventive measures can effectively reduce the incidence of herpes zoster. If there are suspected symptoms or high-risk groups, consult a doctor in time and take corresponding medical protective measures.

In Renaissance painters, a flowing long blond hair always made the characters shine with divine brilliance. Whether it’s Venus, the goddess of love rising from the sea in Sandro Botticelli’s works, or Flora, the goddess of flowers surrounded by flowers, there is a warmth of love between the gossamers. However, long blond hair is not the patent of the goddess, and there are also many men who are in the wind and fog. For example, in Diu Lei’s self-portrait in 1500, the thick and curly long dark golden hair almost falls symmetrically from the painter’s head, which makes people feel unreal.

Details of "Flower God" in Botticelli’s Spring (1482)

The deepest line about "hair" in German poetry in the 20th century is undoubtedly Death fugue (TodesfugeThe last two sentences in) are right. In this poem, words take the place of notes, accumulating strength continuously, and finally pouring down:

Margaret with your golden hair,

Your book girl with ashes-like hair.

Paul Celan didn’t use the "blond" which usually describes the blue-eyed blonde of German beauty, but chose the "golden" which makes "Margaret" more divine. This word is in sharp contrast with the word "aschen" that describes the Jewish beauty "Shulamier", which is obviously reminiscent of the crematorium in the context of Holocaust literature. So we read the initial shallow opposition between these two sentences: on the one hand, a fierce abuser, and on the other hand, a weak Jewish victim, separated by a precipice.

Albrecht Diu Lei’s Self-Portrait in a Fur Coat (1500)

However, the expression "Margaret with golden hair" still hides a more profound symbolic meaning, which requires tracing back to two famous female images in the history of German literature.

Lorelei with "golden hair"

The first image is Loreley, a witch in German folklore. Clemens Brentano, a romantic writer, wrote in his novel Godfrey (GodwiAfter telling this story in the form of narrative poem, the cliff stone with a height of 132 meters at the big bend in the middle reaches of the Rhine River was covered with a mysterious veil. Since then, this beautiful but cruel witch has also appeared in eichendorff’s narrative poem "Question and Answer in the Woods" (Waldgespr?ch), but what really makes this story a household name is Heinrich Heine’s lyric poem Lorelei in 1824 (Lorelei), especially coupled with romantic composer Friedrich Silcher’s melancholy and sentimental composition, makes Heine’s poetry almost equal to this legend (for the misunderstanding of Heine’s poetry caused by Schecher’s composition, please refer to the author’s musical interpretation of Lorelei. See The Art of German Music Poetry, East China Normal University Press, 2021). Like "Margaret with golden hair", Heine’s witches also have a heady "golden hair", and the third and fourth paragraphs of the poem write:

The most beautiful girl,

Sitting upright on high places,

The gold ornaments sparkled with youth,

She combed her golden hair.

The gold comb is light and the hair is trimmed.

And sing a song,

The tune of this ballad,

There are attractive secrets.

(translated by Jiang Linjing)

Although dressed in a simple coat, a careful reading reveals that Heine’s poem describing witches is very strange: he repeated the word "golden" three times in three consecutive lines, describing Lorelei’s jewelry, hair and comb respectively. What is displayed in front of the readers is a girl who is not particularly touching except for the golden light shining all over her body, which makes it difficult for people to love. So the boatman who yearned for Lorelei described in the fourth paragraph could only sigh:

A boatman in a canoe

Suddenly I was sad,

He didn’t look at the reef,

He only looks high.

(translated by Jiang Linjing)

However, this doomed tragedy is by no means the return of the romantic party to the medieval tradition of "elegant love". The sadness caused by unattainable love only floats on the surface of words, and romantic irony is surging in the muscles below. Is this witch shining with golden light really worth dying for? The witch sitting on the high cliff is like a mirror image of the banshee of Sai Ren in ancient Greece, who charms the boatmen coming and going with songs. Her long hair is the secret weapon of "femme fatale", which grinds the wounds of love to the core.

John William Waterhouse’s The Banshee of Sai Ren (1900)

In fact, girls with long hair often indicate the impending death in medieval paintings. In a painting entitled "Three Years of Life and Death" by Hans Baldung, a painter who is good at depicting "death and the maiden" (Die drei Lebensalter und der Tod) in the oil painting, both the baby and the old woman show fear in the face of death, and only the fair-skinned blonde girl is intoxicated with her beauty in the mirror, completely unaware of the death at hand. Holding high the torch of youth, who can pay attention to the hourglass of death? In the spectacular tapestry of Revelation (Tenture de l’Apocalypse), the Babylonian whore is also portrayed as a long-haired beauty who combs her hair with one hand and looks at herself in the mirror with the other.

Carl Joseph Beggs’s Lorelei (1835)

Attentive readers can indeed find faint clues alluding to Lorelei in Death Fugue. When the image of "Margaret" first appeared in the sixth line of the poem ("He wrote a letter to Margaret with golden hair in Germany"), Celan chose the same word as Heine used to describe the background of the legend of "Lorelei": "Esdunkelt"-a time to step into darkness and lead to tragedy.

In the second year of writing this poem, Heine was quietly baptized and became a Protestant, but the relationship between this Jewish poet and Protestantism was actually extremely ambiguous. The boatman who was attracted by the dazzling sound of Lorelei’s phantom and looked up to the heights was an allusion to the poet’s Jewish identity. The witch with "golden hair" represents "Germany" in the poet’s eyes in a sense-as high as a goddess sitting on a cliff stone, beyond reach. Although the poet did see his own shadow in the boatman who was infatuated with Lorelei, he finally let "I" jump out of the Rhine legend in the last paragraph and look at the doomed fate of this man who suffered from love trauma and racial discrimination with lament and self-mockery:

I guess the waves finally swallowed up.

The boatman and the boat;

Lorelena’s song,

Make it all happen.

(translated by Jiang Linjing)

As a Jewish poet who also wrote in German, Celan’s feelings for Germany are more complicated than Heine’s: Germany is obviously the "master of death" and the executioner who killed his parents, but German is also the poet’s cultural language and creative language. His poems are nourished by both Jewish and German water sources, just as he wrote in an untitled poem in his later years: "I drink from two cups". Heine saw his own shadow in the boatman who looked up at the blonde witch, and Celan used the double mirror image in "Margaret with golden hair" to reflect her love and hate for Germany.

"Margaret" with Long Hair and "Eternal Woman"

The second literary image is Margarete, the heroine in the first tragedy of Goethe’s Faust, also known as Gretchen. Faust, who became a charming teenager after making a pact with the devil, fell in love with Margaret, a girl who was like a white jade. The girl was tempted, gave birth to an illegitimate child with Faust despite the opposition of her family, and drowned the baby in despair. In the last scene of the first tragedy, Faust, with the help of the devil, went to prison to rescue Gan Qingqing, but he could not convince her. Gan Qingqing in prison thinks that she should be punished for her crime, but firmly believes that God will save her penitent soul.

Henrik Frans Safr’s Faust and Sweet Tears (1863)

There is a scene in the play that depicts Margaret combing her hair in the boudoir and discovering the jewels that Faust was lured by the devil and quietly left in the wardrobe, so she dressed up carefully and lamented that the exquisite jewels made the mirror more radiant. The image of a tearful girl who combs her hair in a mirror is reminiscent of the girl in death and the maiden. This scene has indeed become a turning point in the fate of Gan Qingqing, and the girl has since fallen into the abyss of perdition and moved closer to death step by step. Faust has aroused great concern in European literary circles, and Margaret (Gan Tears Qing) has also become the representative of "German women" in world literature, and many painters have described her as a typical German beauty with "blonde hair and blue eyes".

Schnoor Carrolsfield’s Faust and Gan Tears in Prison (1833)

Let’s turn our attention to the last scene of the whole poetic drama. In front of the mysterious finale chorus "das Ewig-Weibliche", three penitent women’s solos appeared, in which we can explore the strange deformation of Margaret’s image.

The first appearance is the "sinful woman" (Magna peccatrix). This "sinful woman" can be said to be the most famous repentant female image in Christianity: once a prostitute, she wept bitterly at Jesus’ feet and used her hair to dry Jesus’ feet wet with tears. Although her name is not specified in the Gospels, the Catholic tradition generally equates her with Maria Magdalena. In the history of art, painters like to describe her as a peerless beauty with long hair shawls, with a jade bottle filled with perfume beside her, and her eyes will never stop at the glitz of the world. Georges de la Tour, a French painter, asked her head to turn to the deep place, and the long-haired beauty who was immersed in meditation ignored the jewelry discarded on the table and put her hands together on the skeleton symbolizing "people will die". Tiziano Vecellio made her look up at the sky devoutly, and her long curly hair became the only cover for her naked body.

The last appearance in the mysterious chorus is "Maria Aegyptiaca". According to The Golden Legend (Legenda aurea) records, she worked as a prostitute in Alexandria for seventeen years. One day, she met some sailors who wanted to go to Jerusalem and begged them to take her with her. When she arrived in Jerusalem, she seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and could not cross the threshold of the temple. So she confessed and repented, vowed to renounce the world and finally entered the temple. After walking out of the temple, Mary of Egypt immediately took three loaves of bread into the desert for seclusion. For forty-seven years, her clothes were tattered and she covered herself with long hair. When she was hungry, she used bread that was as hard as stone, but never stopped. In traditional icon paintings and sculptures, long hair and three loaves of bread are the symbols of this "desert hermit".

Georges De La Tour’s Mary Magdalene in Candlelight (about 1625-1650)

At the end of Faust’s tragedy, Mary Magdalene, Mary of Egypt and "Mulier Samaritana" formed a strange "Mary Group", begging for Margaret and asking God to forgive her sins.

Like Margaret, the tragic heroine of Faust, the three penitent saints all committed the so-called adultery and were rejected by their neighbors. They were all lonely marginal people, but their hearts were open, and they did not stubbornly refuse the sacred love or avoid the suffering they deserved. Just like flowing long hair, it can be as gentle as velvet or as tough as sandalwood root. The long hair that falls freely can be an open temptation or a sheltered holiness. Daniel Arasse, a French art critic, also mentioned the contradiction behind the virgin’s excessively thick hair in "We See Nothing". If the beautiful long hair symbolizes the once dirty life, and the painter wants to show their holiness after repentance, why not just let them abandon their long hair and show their true abstinence? Why highlight their hair so exaggeratedly? Because long hair contains the temptation and danger of sensuality, but it also contains the strength of softness and weakness. It is a transition, a transition from a once pure white girl to a polluted Margaret, and a transition from a tragic Margaret in the first part to a bright virgin Margaret in the second part. Margaret, who rejected the earthly "salvation" and chose eternal "redemption" in the first tragedy, finally joined this "Mary group" and begged for Faust’s soul. Make Faust’s soul follow the "eternal woman" to a higher level.

These "eternal women" are different from the men who "clench their fists" represented by Faust (in German, "Faust" means "fist") and never stop trying to climb. Their strength comes from love. In the second part of the tragedy, Faust’s own behavior is becoming more and more noble and pure. However, Goethe believes that it is not enough to have his own efforts, and he has to rely on "help" to obtain the highest happiness, and that help is "eternal love". These three penitent saints, like Gan Tears Qing, all symbolize the process from "broken" to "perfect". They are "perfect" because they accept their own "broken". It is these seemingly negative and weak eternal women who finally guide Prometheus-style strong men to rise.

Anseur Keefer’s Margaret with Your Golden Hair (1980)

Let’s go back to the end of Death Fugue. "Margaret with your golden hair" and "the girl with your ashes-like hair" are obviously the peaks of many parody fugues in this century’s poem (for the interpretation of "musicality" in Death Fugue, please refer to my humble article, see The Art of German Musical Poetry, East China Normal University Press, 2021). The opposition of "German-Jewish women" in Celan’s poems is not completely hostile in essence. Lorelei, the witch, the sweet tears in Faust, and the "eternal woman", these traditional images originated from German folk, German classic literature and Christianity are gathered together by Celan in an unconventional way, which constitutes a unique metaphorical cluster of "Margaret with golden hair". When we finally put this deep cluster together with the "ash-like hair girl of Shulami", we will find that this opposition is extremely sad, but there is no hatred. Brutal killing and romantic melancholy, dangerous temptation and eternal love overlap in "Margaret with golden hair" She embodies the ultimate contradiction of Germany, just as Friedrich Nietzsche called Richard Wagner’s Tristan and isolde (Tristan und Isolde) shows "the same horror and sweetness", just like the title of the poem "Death fugue": Germany produced a cruel massacre and also gave birth to accurate fugue counterpoint.

Beauty is pain, lust is torture, and compassion comes from trauma. Poetry touched Celan’s wound, but it was difficult to heal him. His poems stagnated between the inextricable connection between Germany and Judaism and the irreconcilable pain, and his body finally sank to the bottom of the icy Seine River. But who knows, when he falls in the water, when the moment of his final sleep comes, when the lines of his flesh are full of fear of death, whether his heart has been filled with eternal love, whether his soul has been as white and frank as Faust, and has been led by those "eternal women" who have appeared in his life and poems, and has risen to the starry sky?
