See you in the news at 8: From the deserted garden to the park, protect the “burned” Yuanmingyuan


See you at 8 for news, a little more insight. I will meet you on time at 8 o’clock every morning and evening to look at the bigger world.

Have you ever been to the Yuanmingyuan? All the way to the north, after arriving at the Western Building and looking at it, nearly two hours have passed – this is only a corner of the garden.

< p>On this piece of land five times larger than the Forbidden City, there used to be a group of garden buildings known as “the model of all gardening arts”. However, in the nearly 100 years after 1860, this land has been trampled and destroyed by imperial gardens, invaders and various tyrants, and once became the residence of thousands of farmers. The garden is destroyed.

In 1976, the Yuanmingyuan Management Office was established, ending the chaotic history in the park. In 1988, the Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park was opened to the public. In July 1997, it was announced by the Central Propaganda Department as one of the first batch of “patriotic education bases” in China.

Today, in the ever-changing Fourth Ring Road and Fifth Ring Road in Beijing, there is only traffic and no gunpowder around the Yuanmingyuan. Surrounded by a modern city, this garden site is once again protected.

Twice a month, the staff of the Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Center will inspect the ruins of the whole park. Zhang Kexin and his colleagues are in charge of the Western Building. area.

Zhang Kexin holds a stack of inspection record sheets, each of which is printed with 35 photos of different stone carvings, stone pillars and other components. Every time she finds a corresponding stone component, she puts a tick under the photo, which means that the inspection is passed. After walking like this for nearly an hour, nearly 300 pieces of various stone components were inspected.

This is not an easy job, Zhang Kexin remembers that when she first joined the management office five years ago, “it took several months to recognize every stone. Come out.”

Monthly inspection of the site, Zhang Kexin found that five years ago and five years later, the stones have hardly changed: the arc top stone gate, carved stone pillars, Scattered stone components… here stand still, like a kind of eternal sign.

Sometimes, Zhang Kexin will do the same imagination as many people: it would be great if this place was never destroyed? Read the full text >>>


Recently, the topic of “Xinjiang Internet celebrity ‘check-in place’ uses helicopters to remove garbage” Hot search on Weibo. It is reported that this scenic spot is the only place to pass through the Wusun Ancient Road hiking route, and it is also a highlight along the route. It is called Paradise Lake and is located in Aksubaicheng County, Xinjiang. Due to the recent boom in tourism in Xinjiang, the number of tourists on the Wusun Ancient Road has also increased.

< p>The Wusun Ancient Road, known as “the best hiking route in Xinjiang”, has almost no human settlements along the way, and needs to be restocked with self-sufficient supplies and camping equipment. During the tourist boom, there are rubbish left by tourists after camping in the beautiful natural scenery of this route, including abandoned inflatable rowboats and gas tanks.

On the evening of July 27th, the reporter connected with Zhang Tao, director of the Information Office of Baicheng County People’s Government, and Li Qingping, secretary of the Party Group of the Baicheng County Cultural and Tourism Bureau. According to the two, Baicheng County has received 240,000 tourists since July, an increase of 15% over the same period last year.
%, and at the same time, the amount of rubbish in its well-known scenic spot Wusun Ancient Road has increased. Due to the steep road, the local area relies on the convenience of the return journey of the tourist helicopter to remove the garbage for harmless treatment.

According to Li Qingping, helicopters were originally the means of transportation for the “low-altitude flight tour” project. It takes about 7 days for tourists to travel from Turks, the starting point of the line, to Paradise Lake by conventional hiking, but only about 30 minutes by helicopter. After the tourists get off the plane, volunteers will put the picked up garbage into the helicopter material warehouse, and they can take it away when the helicopter returns. This method is both labor-saving and efficient. Businesses that operate helicopters are also completely voluntary and do not charge any fees. In the case of less garbage, it is transported by horses. Put the packed garbage bag on the horse and transport it away, it takes 2-3 days for a trip.

Zhang Tao said: “The melting water of icebergs and snow along the Wusun Ancient Road is the basic water source for the survival of local residents. The impact of garbage is mainly in two ways. One is to pollute the domestic water. The herdsmen will not bring water specially when they go into the mountains. They all drink the water directly from the mountains. If there is garbage in the upper reaches of the river for a long time, it will lead to changes in the water quality. Second, it will harm livestock. , horses, cattle and sheep may die from eating plastic bags by mistake.”

Zhang Tao and Li Qingping both expressed the hope that tourists will leave footprints and good memories, but please Be sure to take away the rubbish. In the future, on the basis of maintaining the classic hiking route of the Wusun Ancient Road, the local area will also consider setting up tent camps and supply points as appropriate to reduce the burden on tourists and ultimately achieve “decompression for the environment”.

“The company requires proof that the dying grandmother is a relative Grandma,” recently, what happened to Ms. Zhang in Hangzhou caused quite a bit of controversy.

< p> Ms. Zhang posted that she received a call on July 20 and was told that her grandmother was critically ill, so she asked the company for leave, but was asked by the company’s personnel to provide information to prove that it was her grandmother who was critically ill. Subsequently, Ms. Zhang provided a diagnosis certificate, and she was still required to provide the household registration book, ID card, etc., but because her grandmother was dying and she was anxious, the two sides reached a deadlock, and Ms. Zhang had to resign. At present, the Wuchang Street where the incident company is locatedDao has cooperated with relevant departments to investigate the matter.

Actually, this is not a one-sided question of who is right and who is wrong. As far as the relevant personnel of the company are concerned, in the face of a colleague who suddenly asks for a long leave, the need to provide sufficient proof is also due to the company’s regulations, so as to prevent someone from defrauding the leave for similar reasons; for Ms. Zhang, it is sudden that her relatives are critically ill and cannot be provided. The certification required by personnel is also excusable.

Therefore, the contradiction in this matter is, does the management of employees in a company really need to be so impersonal? In any case, Ms. Zhang, who is facing a critically ill family member It’s not easy, and the company’s request for cumbersome proofs goes against the most basic human empathy.

Although there is an employment relationship between workers and the company, they are still natural persons with individual rights in the final analysis. The management of the company’s employees should be to better promote the company Two-way development with employees, rather than simply “managing for management’s sake”. Even if it is a matter of taking a leave of absence, it should not be too difficult for employees. Everyone has emergencies, and the company should also give a certain range of flexibility on the basis of corresponding regulations, and fully consider the most basic emotional factors such as “humanity ethics” and “filial piety”.

At present, Ms. Zhang claims to have proposed to resign, which exposes the plight of people in the workplace. Many times, when faced with company rules and regulations, professionals in the workplace are simply obedient and have no ability or capital to resist. When the company and its employees are in such asymmetrical positions, the company, as a strong party, should be cautious and vigilant in making excessive demands, and use more humane rules and regulations to balance employee rights and company benefits.

In the final analysis, the company’s requirement to prove that the terminally ill grandmother is a biological grandmother may be just an extreme case, but the “difficulty in asking for leave” and the professional The disadvantaged position is real and widespread. This requires a more systematic approach. Read more >>>


The largest U.S. rate since the 1980s The rate hike is coming.

< p> On July 27, local time, the US Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate again by 0.75 percentage points. This is the fourth time the Fed has raised interest rates this year, and the second time in a row since June by 75 basis points. The cumulative rate hike is 225 basis points, raising the target range of the federal funds rate from 0% to 0.25% to 2.25. % to 2.5%.

As a common topic this year, the direct reason for the Fed to raise interest rates frantically again is, of course, the high inflation in the United States.

The Fed raising interest rates will inevitably have a worldwide impact, and the direct result is that the US dollar is more “expensive”.

The US dollar is the most important pricing and settlement currency in current international trade. Without the dollar, most international trade would not be possible. For most non-dollar countries, there will be a dilemma.

If these countries choose not to raise interest rates, it is very likely that the interest rate gap with the US dollar will become smaller or even inverted, which will greatly increase the risk of capital outflows. Making its international payments in trouble.

Of course, these countries can also choose to raise interest rates, but not all countries have the conditions for raising interest rates.

Be aware that an untimely rate hike can destroy a country’s economy. The epidemic has put the economies of many countries in jeopardy, and they simply do not have the ability to raise interest rates.

In a nutshell, facing the impact of the current US dollar interest rate hike, there is only one way out: do a good job of your own economy and make your currency more stable and reliable. Read more >>>
