The annual reports of 65 home furnishing enterprises were released, 4 enterprises suffered losses, and the decoration enterprises were in a difficult situation.

According to the incomplete statistics of the Beijing News reporter, as of May 10, 65 home listed companies have released their 2019 annual reports.

 

In terms of revenue and net profit, enterprises in different fields are different, which can be described as mixed. The data shows that among 65 listed companies, 41 companies have achieved double growth in revenue and net profit, and 22 companies have negative growth in net profit. In addition, Yazhen Home, Yihua Life, Yongan Forestry and Dongyi Risheng suffered losses.

 

Among them, the competitive pressure in the home textile industry has increased; The transformation and upgrading of home stores has gradually opened up the road of new retail innovation; The growth rate of customized enterprises has slowed down, and comprehensive strength has become the key to PK; Decoration enterprises are in a difficult situation and are still exploring new online and digital modes. In addition, some wood furniture enterprises have suffered continuous losses and have implemented delisting risk warning.

 

Home textile industry: competitive pressure, some enterprises began to transform and upgrade.

 

In 2019, enterprises in the home textile industry faced greater market competition pressure, and some enterprises began to transform and upgrade. According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to November 2019, the domestic output value of enterprises above designated size in China’s home textile industry reached 119.6 billion yuan, a slight increase of 0.44% year-on-year.

 

The Beijing News reporter learned that among the seven listed companies, Duoai, Luolai Life, Fuanna, Vosges, Mercury Home Textiles, Nanfang and Meng Jie, only Duoai has a total market value of over 10 billion, which is 10.54 billion yuan. Followed by Luolai Life and Fuanna, with a total market value of 7.617 billion yuan and 6.314 billion yuan respectively. Nanfang shares ranked last with 1.646 billion yuan.

 

The annual report shows that in 2019, the revenues and net profits of four companies, Duoai, Luolai Life, Mercury Home Textiles and Meng Jie, increased year-on-year, while the revenues and net profits of Fuanna, Vosges and Nanfang decreased year-on-year.

 

Among them, Duoai’s revenue in 2019 was 75.649 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.19%, and its net profit was 835 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.85%. Both revenue and net profit ranked first. For the change of performance, I like to give two reasons. First, in December 2019, I completed the transfer registration procedures of major assets replacement, stock exchange, absorption and merger of Zhejiang Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. and related transactions, and fulfilled the delivery obligation of the assets. Zhejiang Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. became a holding subsidiary of the company, and its operating results were included in the scope of company merger. Second, after the reorganization, the company’s business has maintained steady development. The Beijing News reporter observed that the favorite revenue in 2018 was 903 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 32.61%, and the net profit was 27.7848 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.09%. Compared with 2018, its revenue and net profit growth slowed down significantly.

 

At the same time, the revenue and net profit of Luolai Life, Mercury Home Textiles and Meng Jie also increased year-on-year, with revenue of 4.86 billion yuan, 3.002 billion yuan and 2.604 billion yuan, up by 0.98%, 10.41% and 12.8% respectively. The net profit was 546 million yuan, 316 million yuan and 85 million yuan respectively, up by 2.16%, 10.69% and 119% year-on-year.

 

However, the revenue and net profit of Fuanna, Vosges and Nanfang declined in different degrees. Among them, Fuanna’s revenue was 2.789 billion yuan, down 4.44% year on year, and its net profit was 507 million yuan, down 6.72% year on year. Vosges’ revenue was 4.987 billion yuan, down 3.56% year-on-year, and its net profit was 387 million yuan, down 10.95% year-on-year. Nanfang’s revenue was 905 million yuan, down 10.58% year-on-year, and its net profit was 109 million yuan, down 41.44% year-on-year.

 

From the data point of view, the market competition pressure of home textile enterprises is greater. Compared with the data in 2018, the growth rate of revenue and net profit also dropped significantly. It is worth noting that in 2019, some home textile enterprises began to transform and upgrade, such as the transformation of Luolai Life into a one-stop brand retailer of home life, and the layout of new retail of Meng Jie shares.

 

Customized home: the overall growth rate slowed down, and one net profit showed negative growth for the first time.

 

In 2019, among the nine listed customized home furnishing enterprises, three have a total market value of over 10 billion, namely Oupai Home Furnishing, Sophia and Shangpin home delivery, with a total market value of 46.34 billion yuan, 17.94 billion yuan and 13.72 billion yuan respectively. The total market value of Dinggu Jichuang, which has been listed for more than one year, is 2.089 billion yuan, ranking ninth.

 

The annual report shows that in 2019, nine custom-made home furnishing enterprises still maintained an upward trend, but the growth rate has obviously slowed down. According to the data, Oupai Home Furnishing, Sophia and Shangpin home delivery occupy the first place, with revenues of 13.533 billion yuan, 7.686 billion yuan and 7.261 billion yuan respectively. Oupai Home Furnishing is the only enterprise with revenues of over 10 billion yuan. The net profits of the three companies were 1.839 billion yuan, 1.077 billion yuan and 528 million yuan respectively, and the growth of revenue and net profit did not exceed 18%.

 

The revenue growth rates of Piano, Golden Kitchen Cabinet, Wole Home and Zhibang Home are all above 20%, with year-on-year growth figures of 32.53%, 24.90%, 23.10% and 21.75% respectively. Its net profit increased by 23.33%, 15.37%, 51.24% and 20.72% respectively.

 

It is worth noting that Haolaike is the only one of the nine listed companies with negative net profit growth. In 2019, its revenue was 2.225 billion yuan, up 4.34% year-on-year, and its net profit was 365 million yuan, down 4.63% year-on-year. The Beijing News reporter learned that since its listing in 2015, Haolaike’s net profit has experienced negative growth for the first time. The 2019 annual report shows that the cost investment of Haolaike has increased, and both research and development expenses and financial expenses have increased year-on-year. Haolaike said that the R&D expenses increased by 63.16% compared with the same period of last year, mainly due to the increase in company categories and increased investment in product R&D and design. The financial expenses increased by 193.94% compared with the same period of last year, mainly due to the interest expense of convertible bonds accrued during the reporting period.

 

From the trend of various enterprises, customized enterprises continue to develop integrated business, pursue personalization, and explore new modes of Internet and digitalization. For example, Sophia officially upgraded the brand strategy to "cabinet customization expert", and Shangpin home delivery launched the development strategy of "new model+large-scale scientific and technological infrastructure".

 

In 2019, the customization boom is still unabated, but the growth rate of customized home furnishing enterprises is slowly slowing down. Some industry analysts pointed out that the customized home furnishing industry has entered the second half of competition, and enterprises have made efforts in brands, channels, products and services, and the future PK is comprehensive strength.

 

Wood furniture: Three enterprises suffered losses and were warned of delisting risk.

 

In 2019, wood furniture enterprises were also happy and sad.

 

According to the incomplete statistics of the Beijing News reporter, in 2019, among the 20 listed wood furniture enterprises such as Gujia Home, Daya Icon and Qumei Home, 17 enterprises were profitable. However, three companies suffered losses and were all warned of delisting risks, namely Yazhen Home, Yihua Life and Yongan Forestry, with net profit losses of 125 million yuan, 185 million yuan and 236 million yuan respectively.

 

Among them, Yazhen Home has suffered a net loss for two consecutive years. From April 29, 2019, Yazhen Home implemented a delisting risk warning, and the stock abbreviation was changed to "*ST Yazhen", and it was suspended for one day on April 28, 2019. For the reason of the loss, Yazhen Home explained that due to the domestic economic environment, industry competition and household consumption classification, the revenue did not meet expectations and the overall gross profit margin declined; As well as high costs such as rent and decoration amortization, store sales are still greatly affected by the market environment, the losses of direct subsidiaries have increased, and the impairment losses of some assets have further expanded on the basis of last year.

 

It is worth noting that on January 5, 2020, Yazhen Home also released a plan to issue shares and pay cash to purchase assets and raise matching funds and related transactions. The plan shows that Yazhen Home will reorganize its assets and intends to purchase 100% equity of Jinmei Intelligent held by Bai Xiangfeng and Liu Youhe in total by issuing shares and paying cash. The transaction price does not exceed 1 billion yuan.

 

Contrary to loss-making enterprises, the net profit of Gujia Home, Daya Shengxiang and Zhejiang Yongqiang ranked in the top three, with 1.161 billion yuan, 720 million yuan and 500 million yuan respectively. Among them, Gujia Home is the only enterprise with a total market value of over 10 billion yuan, with a total market value of 24.88 billion yuan. In addition, Gujia’s home furnishing revenue was 11.094 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.95%, and its operating income exceeded 10 billion for the first time. According to the annual report, in 2019, Gujia Home continued to increase the number of channels, continued to enter new properties, expanded new channels such as department stores, B&Q, Suning and Shangchao, and entered more than 100 blank cities. At the same time, the "1+N+X" layout was initially realized, and the store status was fully upgraded to realize digitalization of channel management.

Home Store: "Transformation" Becomes a synonym

 

In 2019, "transformation" became synonymous with traditional home stores, and "big consumption" transformation, digital transformation and immersive experience emerged one after another.

 

According to the annual report, in 2019, the revenues and net profits of three home stores, namely Easyhome, Red Star Macalline and Fu Sen Mei, all achieved double growth. Among them, Red Star Macalline’s revenue was 16.469 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.66%, and its net profit was 4.480 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 0.05%. Easyhome’s revenue was 9.085 billion yuan, up 7.94% year-on-year, and its net profit was 3.126 billion yuan, up 60.08% year-on-year. Fu Sen US revenue was 1.619 billion yuan, up 13.96% year-on-year, and net profit was 801 million yuan, up 8.97% year-on-year.

 

It is worth noting that Easyhome landed in A shares on December 26, 2019, and its total market value has reached 48.10 billion yuan, temporarily ranking first. The Beijing News reporter learned that since the start of strategic cooperation with Alibaba in February 2018, Real Home has started a new retail exploration journey, and continued to transform into "big consumption" in 2019, with outstanding data performance. Take double 11 as an example. In 2018, the sales of Easyhome exceeded 12 billion yuan, and in 2019, the sales of Easyhome nationwide reached 20.881 billion yuan.

 

Red Star Macalline is also launching new retail. Since May 2019, it has cooperated with Alibaba in many aspects. At the business level, at present, Red Star Macalline’s "Dragon Wing System" has been connected with Alibaba’s "Meow Zero POS System", further making the overall digitalization of people, goods and fields in the home furnishing industry a reality.

 

Household practitioners say that offline chain stores and online operations do online business in order to improve offline customer acquisition ability, and the goal of digital transformation is to make offline ecology prosper.



Decoration: Decoration enterprises explore new online and digital modes.

 

In 2019, it was not smooth for decoration enterprises, and "hardship" became a multi-frequency vocabulary for some home improvement entrepreneurs. According to the data of the annual report, the revenue and net profit of some enterprises also declined to varying degrees, among which one home improvement enterprise suffered losses.

 

According to the incomplete statistics of the Beijing News reporter, among the 13 decoration enterprises, the total market value of Jintang and Yaxia shares exceeds 10 billion yuan, which are 21.85 billion yuan and 13.36 billion yuan respectively. At the same time, the revenue and net profit of Jintang and Yasha also ranked first and second, with revenue of 30.835 billion yuan and 10.786 billion yuan respectively, and net profit of 2.349 billion yuan and 426 million yuan respectively.

 

It is worth noting that Dongyi Risheng’s revenue was 3.799 billion yuan, ranking sixth among 13 decoration enterprises. However, the revenue decreased by 9.62% year-on-year. In addition, the net profit loss was 249 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 198.7%. Dongyi Risheng explained that the decline in revenue was mainly caused by the decline in home improvement business, while the net profit loss was mainly due to the decline in revenue and impairment of goodwill.

 

In addition, the revenue and net profit of some enterprises have also declined. Among them, Baoying’s revenue decreased by 2.61% and its net profit decreased by 26.73%. The revenue of Mingjiahui decreased by 4.18% and the net profit decreased by 53.16% year-on-year.

 

The Beijing News reporter learned that decoration companies are also exploring a new model of online and digital home improvement in 2019. In 2019, Dongyi Risheng insisted on the road of home improvement through science and technology, and used digital means to improve delivery efficiency. At the same time, Qijia. com, the main operator of Qiyi Technology, which is the representative of Internet home improvement, is also promoting the digital transformation of installation enterprises. In 2019, Qijia. com released the 2020 "Torch Upgrade Plan", which screened and supported 1,000 high-quality home improvement enterprises nationwide, and the first batch of 100 star-rated enterprises formed Qijia. com’s "Torch Library" to provide all-round support for selected enterprises, give priority to development and upgrading, and promote the home improvement industry to the Internet and digital form.

 

Cement building materials: the advantages of head enterprises are obvious, and the total market value of five enterprises exceeds 10 billion.

 

In the field of cement building materials, the Beijing News reporter learned that among the seven enterprises including Jinyu Group, Dongfang Yuhong, Sanshu and Jiayu, five enterprises have a total market value of over 10 billion yuan, namely Dongfang Yuhong 61.02 billion yuan, Beixin Building Materials 40.87 billion yuan, Jinyu Group 35.24 billion yuan, Sanshu 21.23 billion yuan and Weixing New Materials 19.81 billion yuan. Among them, Jinyu Group, Oriental Yuhong and Weixing New Materials ranked in the top three, with net profit of 3.694 billion yuan, 2.066 billion yuan and 983 million yuan respectively.

 

In addition, the revenue of Beixin Building Materials increased by 6.03% year-on-year, but the net profit decreased by 82.11% year-on-year. The Beijing News reporter noted that in 2019, the annual report of Beixin Building Materials mentioned that the company’s non-operating expenditure in 2019 was 2.091 billion yuan, compared with 268 million yuan in 2018, a year-on-year increase of 681.33%. In this regard, Beixin Building Materials explained that the main reason for the increase was the increase in attorney’s fees and settlement fees for plasterboard matters in the United States caused by Taishan Gypsum, a company and its secondary subsidiary. It is understood that since 2009, many homeowners and housing construction companies in the United States have filed many lawsuits against at least dozens of gypsum board manufacturers, including Beixin Building Materials and Taishan Gypsum Co., Ltd., on the grounds of gypsum board quality problems.

 

At the same time, the Beijing News reporter noted that the total market value of Jiayu shares was only 2.1 billion yuan, and at the same time, its revenue and net profit showed a double decline. In 2019, Jiayu’s revenue was 3.437 billion yuan, down 19.21% year-on-year, and its net profit was 26 million yuan, down 56.54% year-on-year.

 

The data shows that there is a big difference in revenue and net profit between cement building materials enterprises, and the head enterprise has obvious advantages, while the tail enterprise has disadvantages in competition, so it is necessary to find a breakthrough in innovation.

 

Bathroom industry: the competition is still fierce, and the two companies have negative growth.

 

In 2019, the competition in the bathroom industry is still fierce. At the same time, the whole industry still shows a trend of declining demand at the retail end and intensifying competition at the engineering end. The Beijing News reporter learned that among the six companies involved in Dior Home, Huida Sanitary Ware, Aopu Home, Songlin Technology, Ruierte and Seagull, the difference in their net profits is not great. Among them, the net profit of Dior Home ranked first with 566 million yuan, followed by Huida Sanitary Ware and Aopu Home, with net profits of 329 million yuan and 268 million yuan respectively. Seagull residents are temporarily ranked sixth with 131 million yuan.

 

However, in 2019, among the six enterprises, only the total market value of Dior Home exceeded 10 billion yuan, reaching 11.60 billion yuan, its revenue was 5.57 billion yuan, up 29.29% year-on-year, and its net profit was 566 million yuan, up 48.70% year-on-year. Both revenue and net profit ranked first. For the growth of performance, Dio Home explained that the synergy effect generated by its high integration with Oushennuo is remarkable, and the comprehensive competitive advantage accumulated by Oushennuo’s self-operated projects over the years has been continuously exerted. At the same time, the retail model innovation and channel sinking layout have been continuously carried out, and the overall operation of Dio Home in 2019 has achieved contrarian growth.

 

According to the annual report, sanitary ware and building ceramics are the two main business sectors of Dior Home. Among them, the bathroom sector is the traditional main business of the company and owns the "Emperor" bathroom brand. However, in terms of sectors, its growth is largely driven by the tile sector, and the performance of the bathroom business has shrunk.

 

In addition, Aopu Home and Songlin Technology experienced negative growth in revenue and net profit. Among them, Aopu Home was listed on the A-share market on January 15, 2020, with its revenue down by 2.05% and net profit down by 11.41%. The revenue of Songlin Technology decreased by 1.14% year-on-year, and the net profit decreased by 0.85% year-on-year.

 

It is worth noting that although the net profit of seagull residents was at the bottom of 131 million yuan, its growth rate ranked first, with a year-on-year increase of 212.03%. It explained that in 2019, we will vigorously develop the domestic sales business of our own brands, such as customized bathroom, cabinets and smart homes, and the business results of the integrated bathroom in the previous strategic layout are outstanding. From the trend of various bathroom enterprises, most enterprises are expanding the whole bathroom business.

 

The industry believes that with the upgrading of consumption, consumers’ requirements for quality have gradually increased, which is a good opportunity for brands with high quality. In addition, the concentration of bathroom industry is not high, even the leading brands at home and abroad still have a lot of room for development.

Myanmar tourism buys fake jade merchants: the pit is the tourists.

CCTV News:Recently, many tourists from China said that they bought fake jadeite in Myanmar. Some tourists said that the green color on the jadeite they bought faded for about half a year, and some black spots appeared. Others said that the jadeite bought in Myanmar was found to be filled and dyed when it came back to China for identification. The problem jadeites bought by these tourists all come from the Jiaowan Jade Market in Mandalay, a city in central Myanmar. So what kind of secrets are hidden behind these problematic jade products? CCTV reporters launched an investigation.

 Jiaowan emerald market

Myanmar Jiaowan Emerald Market

With the problem jadeite provided by consumers, the reporter came to Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar, which is also the nearest central city to Pagan mining area, the main producing area of jadeite. Kyauk Wan Market, the largest jadeite market in Myanmar, is located here. As early as more than 50 years ago, Jiaowan Jade Market was a distribution center for jade trading, but it was not until 2000 that a formal market was built. After continuous development, there were more than 1,700 booths for jade trading, and it was still expanding to surrounding areas. At the same time, this market is gradually strengthening supervision, especially the investigation and punishment of counterfeiting and selling fakes.

Wu Danwen, Chairman of the Management Committee of Jiaowan Emerald Market in Mandalay, Myanmar: There is a market supervision committee in Jiaowan Market, and police are deployed in this market. They patrol twice in Jiaowan every morning and twice in the afternoon to reduce the occurrence of fake sales through inspections.

In the interview, the reporter found that many businesses in the market have indicated that they attach great importance to credibility in their operations and have adopted various ways to prevent counterfeit goods. Since the management and merchants have taken many measures to prevent counterfeit jadeite from appearing in the market, how can many tourists buy problematic jadeite here? In the following investigation, the reporter found some special features of this market. In China, jade products are mostly sold in high-end shopping malls or jewelry stores; Here, jade products of various grades will be sold in these humble stalls and counters, and the business model here is also different.

There are a large number of tourists selling jadeite products or semi-finished products.

CCTV reporter: We have found a relatively special business model here, that is, behind these counters, most of them are merchants who buy jadeite, while in the market, there are a large number of tourists selling jadeite finished products or semi-finished products. For a large number of tourists, it is difficult to fully supervise the market management, which leaves room for counterfeiting and selling.

In the Jiaowan market, there are dozens or even hundreds of jadeite products, and there are a large number of tourists selling them in front of various stalls. And the bags of jadeite in the hands of these tourists are often sold in batches, and they are not sold separately.

CCTV reporter: We found that many professional merchants often buy dozens or even hundreds of jadeites at one time, but for ordinary tourists, they can only buy a few at a time, which makes it easy for some tourists to distinguish the difference between them. This is also the reason why in this market, the proportion of fake sales is very low, but tourists are often fooled.

Jiangsu environmental protection untrustworthy enterprises will pay more electricity charges up to 1 jiao per kWh.

  Xinhua News Agency, Nanjing, June 8 (Reporter Qin Huajiang) Recently, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment and the Provincial Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the Notice on Perfecting the Differentiated Price Policy Based on the Evaluation Results of Environmental Credit. According to the environmental credit evaluation results of red-rated enterprises and black-rated enterprises with serious dishonesty, their electricity prices will be increased by 0.05 yuan and 0.10 yuan per kWh respectively on the basis of the current electricity price standard.

  According to the new policy, the evaluation results of environmental credit of enterprises used to implement the differentiated electricity price policy shall be based on the evaluation results automatically generated by the "Jiangsu Enterprise Environmental Credit Evaluation System" on the last day of every six months. In the first five working days of January and July respectively, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment summarized the list of enterprises whose evaluation results in the first half of the year were serious and untrustworthy, and submitted them to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Provincial Electric Power Company for implementing the differential electricity price policy.

  It is reported that the environmental credit evaluation of enterprises combines dynamic management with static application, the evaluation results are updated daily, and the list is published once every six months to implement policies such as differential electricity prices. The implementation period of half a year, on the one hand, will play a disciplinary role for enterprises, on the other hand, it will also give enterprises the opportunity to turn over a new leaf, give play to the characteristics of the current evaluation system with high timeliness and good operability, and further compact the environmental protection responsibilities of enterprises.

In 2016, the General Secretary was with us.

The general secretary is in the village party branch, looking at the plan, books and records, while asking in detail. The general secretary is very happy to learn that gratifying changes have been taking place in the village over the years.

  In the home of poor household Zhang Chengde, the general secretary sat down and asked what was planted and raised at home, and what difficulties and needs were there. The hostess said that the general secretary has done a good job for the people of the whole country and the people feel very happy. The general secretary responded that our country is the people who are the masters of the country, and all leading cadres, including me, are people’s servants.

  In the village, every family is busy preparing new year’s goods. Everywhere the general secretary goes, he says hello to the villagers. He also sent last year’s goods to poor households and schoolbags to children. He told the villagers that on the road to poverty alleviation, we should not leave a poor family and a poor people behind. The sincere and enthusiastic words of the General Secretary warm our hearts.

  Chixi village used to be a poor village, and it has achieved remarkable results in poverty alleviation under the care and guidance of the general secretary for many years. In the video, the general secretary talked with Du Jiazhu, secretary of the village party branch, and Wang Shao, a retired cadre who has long been concerned about supporting poverty alleviation in Chixi Village. He said hello to the villagers and told them to protect the green mountains and green mountains and embark on a path of green development and ecological enrichment.

  After the 8-minute connection, I saw that Wang Shao, who was over 60 years old, was as excited as a child, feeling that the general secretary was still as friendly as before, and there was no difference at all.

  Seeing the joy of Chixi villagers receiving "reply" through online media, I realized what is the golden key to touching people’s hearts! What is the real grounding gas! Now, when I see the sign "People’s Daily" at work every day, I realize more and more the meaning and weight of the word "people"!

  Supreme leader: solidly promote ecological environmental protection, solidly promote poverty alleviation, and solidly promote the development of ethnic areas.

"The General Secretary has fulfilled his promise to the people’s representatives"

  He feng(Deputy to the National People’s Congress, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Qinghai University for Nationalities): On the morning of March 10, 2016, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attended the deliberation of the Qinghai delegation at the Fourth Session of the 12th National People’s Congress. I was fortunate to present Hada to the General Secretary.

  On that day, the general secretary approached us and shook hands with us. Watching the news at night, I saw the brightest smile in my life, and I felt extremely happy around the general secretary!

  The general secretary listened to the deliberation speeches of the delegates and shook hands with each delegate again before leaving. He held my hand and asked about the production and life of our Tu people with concern, and said that he had been to my hometown. I said excitedly, "The people of all ethnic groups in Qinghai are looking forward to your visit to Qinghai. Please visit my hometown again." He repeatedly said, "Good, good." To my surprise, on August 23, he really came to Qinghai and even went to the home of the Tu people!

  The general secretary has fulfilled his promise to the people’s representatives, and he is also fulfilling his solemn promise of "realizing a well-off society in an all-round way, and no nation can be less"!

  As soon as we started, we picked up the shovel and bucket and followed Grandpa Xi to a white pine tree. Grandpa Xi waved a shovel to fill the soil into the tree pit, and also picked up a bucket to water the tree. Every process was done meticulously. Next, Grandpa Xi planted six more trees with us, including Ginkgo, Pinus bungeana, Acer truncatum, Prunus ulmoides and so on.

  Grandpa Xi told us to plant more trees and protect the environment. He kindly asked us about our recent study. Seeing that we were all wearing glasses, he told us that we must protect our eyes. I hope we can grow up healthily like these young trees and become pillars of the motherland.

  Grandpa Xi also said that it takes ten years to plant trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Ten years later, 20 years later, you can come back to this place to see how the saplings you planted by yourself grow. This is a very meaningful thing.

In my speech, I talked about the importance of "drawing concentric circles", which was discussed by the general secretary in face-to-face communication. He emphasized that the media at all levels should draw concentric circles well under the leadership of the party and carry out their work under the leadership of the party. The majority of party and government cadres should also take the initiative to touch the net, do not evade problems, do not cover up contradictions, stand firm with an open and inclusive attitude, become civilized people, and hold the center position of concentric circles. It is the general secretary’s ardent expectation for network letter workers to gather together and become a civilized person.

When talking about the future development path of Xiaogang village, I said to the general secretary, "You put forward the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and Xiaogang village also has Xiaogang dream." The general secretary was very happy and said, "When these little dreams are gathered together, they can become a big dream." Before leaving, the general secretary said to our family: "farmhouse music, happy farmhouse music." I wish your Jinchang restaurant farmhouse better and better! "

  Liu yangshun(Staff of Xishui Management Office of Shangganling Forestry Bureau, Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province, the first on the right hand side of the general secretary in the picture): At 4 o’clock in the afternoon on May 23, 2016, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader and his party came to our house. He took our old couple’s hands into the yard, and when they walked, they did not forget to tell the people accompanying them: "Don’t step on the yard, the seedlings are all out." When the general secretary entered the kitchen, his wife lifted the lid and said, "General secretary, let me show you the dinner prepared by my family." Braised fish, stewed beans and pasted cakes, the general secretary looked at them and said with a smile, "It looks delicious." At this time, the yard was full of neighbors who heard the news, and the general secretary chatted with everyone sitting on the bench in front of the wooden table in the yard. He talked about the employment and entrepreneurship of employees from our income problem. Finally, the general secretary said, I am very happy to see that you have found some outlets for production and life. The CPC Central Committee has always cared about everyone, the policies of the party and the government will be consistent, and everyone will have to rely on their own efforts to find new ways to rejuvenate Yichun old forest area. Although the forest area has stopped cutting, we must not "look at the forest and sigh", but strive to find ways to start a business, seek benefits from green mountains and green mountains, and walk out of a new path of transformation and development in our forest area.

I was fortunate to receive the award as the representative of the outstanding Communist Party of China, party member, but I never thought that it was the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader who gave me the award.

  When receiving the award, the general secretary called out my name and told me to make persistent efforts. I was so excited and nervous that I didn’t have time to say a few more words to the general secretary. In fact, I want to say that this honor belongs not only to me personally, but also to Beijing Children’s Hospital and all medical workers. We will not live up to the expectations of the country and the people. At the meeting, the general secretary encouraged all party comrades not to forget their initial intentions and move on. As a communist party member, an ordinary doctor, the dream of the families of thousands of children in Qian Qian is also my biggest dream: that is to make the children better, grow better and live better.

I didn’t expect to communicate with him face to face one day. On July 18, 2016, the arrival of the General Secretary made our family very lively. He first came to the cowshed in the corner of the yard. At that time, five cows were raised at home. The general secretary asked me how much it cost to build a cowshed and raise cattle, how much the state subsidized, and how much a cow could earn. When I came to the house, the general secretary sat on the kang of my house, took my hand and said, "You are younger than me, and you are my brother. I am very happy to see that the life of you and the villagers is getting better and better. " The scene always excites me when I recall it. The general secretary said that this was his third visit to Guyuan. This time, he learned that the village had solved the drinking water problem, the living conditions such as housing had improved significantly, and he began to find a way to get rid of poverty in the industry. He was very pleased. Before leaving, the general secretary asked me, "Do you have confidence in getting rid of poverty in the future?"

  At 10 am on July 28th, 2016, I was doing rehabilitation training with three other paraplegic patients in the rehabilitation room. Just then, the Supreme Leader General Secretary came to the recovery room with a smile on his face. He said, "I want to shake hands with everyone here." The general secretary shook hands while chatting with us like a family member and asked us in detail where we were injured at that time. How long was the treatment? Is there any other discomfort in your body now? Who are there in the family? Do family members often come to visit? How is life now? What does this exercise do? Care for us is really meticulous.

  After leaving the rehabilitation room, the general secretary visited everyone in the reading room, the patient convalescent room and the activity room.

  The arrival of the general secretary made us very excited and very proud and happy. We will continue to live an optimistic life and continue the miracle of life in the "mother’s home" of paraplegic sanatorium.

On July 29, 2016, the ceremony of the promotion of the rank of general by the Central Military Commission was held in Beijing Bayi Building. The supreme leader issued a writ to the officer who was promoted to the rank of general.

On August 23, 2016, the Supreme Leader inspected the ex situ poverty alleviation and relocation at the construction site of Banyan Village, Fifty Town, Huzhu Tu Autonomous County, Haidong City, Qinghai Province.

  Supreme Leader: Resettlement is an effective way to get rid of poverty. Migrant relocation should fully solicit the opinions of farmers and let them participate in the planning of new villages.

"The villagers are very sad that they didn’t present a Hada to the general secretary and propose a glass of highland barley wine."

  Lv Zhiwu(Villagers in Banyan New Village, Fifty Town, Huzhu Tu Autonomous County, Haidong City, Qinghai Province, the third from the left in the front row): More than 100 families in Banyan Village are scattered in the slope of Shanlianggou, drinking cellar water for a long time, and the crops have been dry for ten years. Since the implementation of precision poverty alleviation, a new poverty alleviation village has been built.

  On the morning of August 23, it was raining lightly. The Supreme Leader General Secretary wore rain boots and stepped on the dirt road to visit our new village under construction. I am very honored to accompany you all the way. While walking, the general secretary asked me about the crop harvest this year and the annual income and expenditure. Walking into my new courtyard, the general secretary said happily that the water, electricity and communication in the new village are convenient, and I hope the villagers will live a better life.

  The general secretary is also very concerned about our plan to get rid of poverty and get rich after moving, and encourages us to stand on our own feet and get rid of poverty as soon as possible. Regrettably, we didn’t present a Hada to the General Secretary or a glass of highland barley wine, but greeted the General Secretary empty-handed, and the villagers felt very sad.

On August 25th, 2016, the Supreme Leader met with all members of the China sports delegation in the 31st Olympic Games.

  Jane Lang(At that time, the head coach of the national women’s volleyball team): In late August 2016, we just won the championship at the Rio Olympic Games and returned to Beijing, when we received the notice that General Secretary of the Supreme Leader would meet the China Olympic delegation in the Great Hall of the People on the 25th. For all the coaches and athletes of the delegation, this is the greatest affirmation and encouragement, and it also reflects the attention and concern of the party and the state for sports undertakings and sportsmen in China. Many of us are excited and nervous when we meet the general secretary for the first time. On the way, I also remembered that Comrade Xi Zhongxun, the father of the General Secretary, visited the China Women’s Volleyball Team at Zhangzhou Training Base in Fujian more than 20 years ago, and asked about our training competition with special concern. How many years have passed … … When I met the general secretary, I said "Good Chief" and the general secretary said: "Comrade Lang Ping, congratulations!" Later, in his speech, he also specifically mentioned the China Women’s Volleyball Team, praising us for not giving up our efforts in such a difficult situation, fighting hard and playing Chinese’s ambition! We are greatly encouraged by the encouragement of the General Secretary. China Women’s Volleyball Team will certainly continue to inherit and carry forward the tenacious struggle and enterprising spirit of the old women’s volleyball team. Do not forget your initiative mind will continue to work hard and live up to the high expectations of the General Secretary and the people of the whole country.

  Supreme Leader: I hope that students will keep and develop their football hobbies, and feel the collective strength, experience the fun of sports and strengthen their physical fitness in football.

"Grandpa Xi watched us dribble."

  Zhang Dongliang(Class 2, Grade 6, Beijing Bayi School): On the morning of September 9, 2016, we were having a football class on the playground. Suddenly, a tall and familiar figure appeared in front of us, and when we looked intently, it was the Supreme Leader Grandpa! We excitedly ran to Grandpa Xi and immediately surrounded Grandpa Xi. Grandpa Xi patted us on the shoulder happily and asked about our football training. He was very kind. We slowly relaxed our nervous mood and unambiguously showed Grandpa Xi the basic skills of football — — Vertex ball

When I followed the footsteps of the General Secretary and paid tribute to the Monument to the People’s Heroes, I saw countless scenes of revolutionary ancestors fighting bloody battles, knowing that a happy and peaceful life is hard-won. We should inherit the legacy of the martyrs and make unremitting efforts to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

On October 21, 2016, the conference to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March was held in Beijing. The supreme leader delivered an important speech at the conference.

  Supreme Leader: Carry forward the spirit of the Great Long March and take the road of today’s Long March.

"Listening to the general secretary’s speech on the Long March, my eyes filled with tears."

  Wang Dingguo(104-year-old Red Army, Mrs. Xie Juezai): On the morning of October 21st, 2016, a conference was held in the Great Hall of the People to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March. Early in the morning, I asked someone to help me get dressed and put on my favorite Red Army hat and the commemorative medallion for the 80th anniversary of the Long March victory.

  At 10 o’clock, the speech of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader began. I was so excited that tears filled my eyes. When the general secretary proposed that "all of us stand up in silence for the revolutionary martyrs who died heroically on the way to the Long March and in the revolutionary struggles in various places", although the staff had told me in advance that I didn’t have to stand up, I still asked people to stand in silence with help.

  When the general secretary said, "The Long March is long in duration, large in scale, long in journey, sinister in environment and fierce in fighting … …” I can’t help being immersed in deep memories.

  "The Long March is always on the road. A nation that doesn’t remember its route is a nation with no way out … …” After the general secretary’s speech, I still applauded hard for a long time. (Wang Dingguo’s son Xie Yaxu finishing)

From October 24 to 27, 2016, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of communist party, China was held in Beijing. The supreme leader made an important speech.

  Supreme Leader: The key to China’s success lies in the Party, and the key lies in the Party’s management and strict administration of the Party.

"The general secretary’s demand for strict administration of the party is the hope of the people and the aspiration of the party."

  Ye Xiaowen(Former Party Secretary of the Central Institute of Socialism): Strictly administering the Party in an all-round way is the distinctive theme of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee. As a participant, I deeply feel: Why can things in China be done well? Because the people always support the leadership of the party, and the party strictly manages the party for the people. With the political courage of self-revolution, we should try our best to solve the outstanding problems of our own existence, overcome all the problems that affect the creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness of the party, thoroughly treat all the diseases that damage the advanced nature and purity of the party, and resolutely eliminate all the cancers that breed on the healthy body of the party.

  The plenary session deliberated and adopted "Several Guidelines on Political Life within the Party under the New Situation" and "Regulations on Inner-Party Supervision in the Communist Party of China (CPC)". Orders are forbidden, and words are followed. Seriously, there are marks on the iron.

  People’s expectations: The key to China’s success lies in the Party. The party’s aspiration: it is necessary to be hard to strike the iron and strictly manage the party.

  Supreme Leader: It is the common will of all Chinese people to ensure the integrity of the country and safeguard the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation.

"The general secretary said that it is necessary to ensure the integrity of the country and not be divided."

  Chen jianxing(Xinhua News Agency): On November 1, 2016, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader met with a delegation from the Kuomintang of China led by President Hong Xiuzhu in Beijing.

  I participated in the report of this meeting, and the general secretary put forward six opinions on the development of cross-strait relations. He emphasized that the two sides of the strait are a community of destiny that is constantly giving up. Adhering to the political foundation of the "1992 Consensus" which embodies the one-China principle, maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and maintaining the peaceful development of cross-strait relations are the mainstream public opinion of compatriots on both sides of the strait. It is the common will of all Chinese people to ensure the integrity of the country and safeguard the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation. It is an irresistible historical trend to realize national rejuvenation and create a prosperous China.

  The general secretary’s speech put forward important ideas to promote the development of cross-strait relations at present and in the future, answered questions that compatriots on both sides of the strait are generally concerned about, played an important guiding role in promoting the development of cross-strait relations under the new situation, and produced positive and enthusiastic responses among compatriots from all walks of life on both sides of the strait.

On November 7, 2016, the Supreme Leader met with all the representatives of the 9th Council of the All-China Journalists Association and the winners of the China Prize for Journalism and the Taofen Prize for the Yangtze River in Beijing.

  Supreme Leader: Be a journalist trusted by the Party and the people.

"I saw the concern, sincerity and respect in the eyes of the general secretary."

  Guan Bin(Winner of Taofen Award in Yangtze River, senior reporter of Economic Daily): At 8: 00 am on November 7, 2016, I took a bus with everyone to the Golden Hall on the third floor of the Great Hall of the People. All the representatives of the 9th Council of the All-China Journalists Association and the winners of China Prize for Journalism and Taofen Award in Yangtze River lined up in a photo queue.

  At 9: 30, I saw the Supreme Leader General Secretary coming to us with a smile, wearing a black suit, a white jacket and a red tie. He shook hands from the left to the right of the queue in turn, and warm applause surged like a flood, turning the golden hall into a sea of joy and happiness.

  When the general secretary’s generous hand shook mine, a force like "how the Yellow River’s waters move out of heaven" ran through my heart. When I looked at the general secretary, I saw the concern, sincerity and respect in his eyes.

  After taking a group photo, the general secretary delivered an important speech. I am deeply moved and encouraged, and I will never forget it in this life.

On November 9, 2016, the Supreme Leader came to the China Manned Space Engineering Command Center and had a cordial conversation with Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong, astronauts of Shenzhou XI, who were on a mission in Tiangong-2.

  Supreme Leader: We are very happy to see that you are in good condition.

"President Xi said: ‘ Your birthday is in the sky, which is a high-level birthday ’ "

  Jing Haipeng(Deputy Military Astronaut of the Astronaut Brigade of China People’s Liberation Army): On the afternoon of November 9, 2016, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader came to the China Manned Space Engineering Command Center and had a cordial conversation with two astronauts, Chen Dong and I, who were on a mission at Tiangong-2. President Xi’s words are very warm: "We are very happy to see you in good condition."

  At 10 o’clock on the morning of December 20th, President Xi met with our Shenzhou XI flight crew and participants. He took my hand kindly and asked, how is your physical recovery? I thought it was just a short conversation. I didn’t expect President Xi to hold my hand all the time and say with a smile, "I heard that your birthday was in the sky. It’s a high-level birthday." President Xi is busy, and I still remember my birthday. I am very moved and very happy. President Xi went on to say, "You went to space three times, and it was the general who went to space." I replied excitedly: "Thank you for your concern and the cultivation of the Party." President Xi told me: "Haipeng, I hope you will continue to work hard and make new contributions."

On November 15, 2016, the top leader voted in the election of deputies to the District People’s Congress at Huairentang polling station in Zhongnanhai constituency, Xicheng District, Beijing.

  Supreme Leader: The election work should adhere to the party’s leadership, persist in promoting democracy, act in strict accordance with the law, and protect the people’s right to vote and stand for election.

"I witnessed the general secretary cast a solemn vote as an ordinary voter."

  Tian Jude(Secretary of the Working Committee of West Chang ‘an Street, Xicheng District, Beijing): November 15, 2016 is a day that I will never forget. As a grass-roots staff member, I have the honor to witness the Supreme Leader General Secretary cast a solemn vote as an ordinary voter in the general election of people’s congresses in Beijing. Later, the general secretary also shook hands and talked with us cordially, and asked with concern about the development of the election work, the protection of the style and features of Wenbao District, and urban management in Xicheng District. In the meantime, the general secretary also deeply recalled the unforgettable years when he lived in the old Gulou area of Beijing in his youth, and asked with concern about the improvement of people’s livelihood problems such as the difficulty in buying food and parking in the bungalow area there, and earnestly told us to do our best to make people’s lives more convenient. The general secretary took time out of his busy schedule to take the lead in grassroots democratic elections, and chatted with us kindly. He was very concerned about the safety and well-being of the masses and deeply concerned about the frontline work at the grassroots level. This warm scene has been deeply fixed in my heart.

On November 30th, 2016, the 10th National Congress of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the 9th National Congress of Chinese Writers Association opened in Beijing. The supreme leader attended the meeting and delivered an important speech.

  Supreme Leader: Strive to build a literary peak in the era of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

"Keep in mind the entrustment of the General Secretary and tell the story of China to the world."

  Yu Kuizhi(Famous Peking Opera Performing Artist): On the morning of November 30, 2016, as a literary and art worker, I listened to the important speech of General Secretary of the Supreme Leader.

  Wen Yun is linked with the national movement, and the context is linked with the national context. The general secretary stressed that the vast number of literary and art workers should adhere to creative transformation and innovative development, hold high the torch of national spirit, blow the horn of the times, and produce more excellent works that reflect the voice of the times, show the people’s struggle, inspire the national spirit and cultivate noble sentiments, and strive to build a literary peak in the era of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  The general secretary’s words made me deeply feel the mission and responsibility. The general secretary cares about Beijing opera and has watched Beijing opera performances many times. The General Secretary has earnestly entrusted that Peking Opera is the quintessence of China and should tell the story of China well to the world. In order to achieve this goal, in addition to our own tireless exploration of Beijing opera art, we should also pay attention to strengthening publicity and expanding the influence of Beijing opera. At the invitation of Canada, I will appear on the stage of "Happy Chinese New Year Overseas Spring Festival Gala" on Canadian national television in the Spring Festival of 2017 to spread the splendid Chinese culture and let the world know more about China.

The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting.

Review and standardize the relevant treatment of party and state leaders and other documents

  On November 30, 2016, a meeting was held in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, at which documents regulating the treatment of party and state leaders, Regulations on Working Organs in the Communist Party of China (CPC) (Trial) and Several Provisions on Democratic Life Meeting of Leading Cadres of Party and State Organs in party member at or above the county level were reviewed and approved. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the meeting.

  The meeting held that the treatment of office space, housing, car use, transportation, staffing, vacation and rest for party and state leaders should be further stipulated, and it was clearly stated that the office space should be vacated in time when the party and state leaders retired; Can not be equipped with vehicles exceeding the standard, take vehicles exceeding the standard, and go out without pomp to minimize the impact on people’s production and life; According to the regulations, staff should be equipped and education management should be strengthened, and relatives and staff around them should be strictly restrained; Reduce the rest time for vacations in other places and implement a strict approval system. These regulations adhere to strict requirements, unify norms and strengthen constraints in accordance with the principle of "ensuring the needs of work and giving appropriate treatment at a low level", which is an important measure to implement the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, an expansion and deepening of the eight central regulations, and is of great significance to strengthening the party’s work style. It fully embodies that the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the core insists on setting an example and taking the lead in setting an example, and has an important demonstration and leading role for the whole party.

On December 7-8, 2016, the National Conference on Ideological and Political Work in Colleges and Universities was held in Beijing. The supreme leader attended the meeting and delivered an important speech.

  Supreme Leader: Ideological and political work in colleges and universities is related to the fundamental problem of what kind of people colleges and universities train, how to train them and for whom.

"Listening to the inculcation of the General Secretary makes me feel warm, confident and motivated."

  Jiang yuyuan(Deputy Director of Organization Department of Northeastern University Party Committee): December 7, 2016 is a day that I will never forget. On this day, the CPC Central Committee held a national conference on ideological and political work in colleges and universities in Beijing. The Supreme Leader General Secretary made clear requirements for strengthening and improving ideological and political work in colleges and universities under the new situation and made major arrangements. The scene where the general secretary was with us that day still haunts my mind.

  There is nothing more touching than affection. At this landmark meeting, the general secretary spent three hours, combining his own growth and work experience, and exchanging the ideological and political work in colleges and universities with the delegates in an affectionate and simple way, as usual. The general secretary is handy and eloquent about the law and development direction of ideological and political work in colleges and universities, which fully reflects the general secretary’s attention and familiarity with the work in colleges and universities. Warm applause broke out many times at the meeting. As a grass-roots party worker in colleges and universities, I was able to listen to the inculcation of the general secretary on the spot, which made me feel warm, confident and motivated.

  Supreme Leader: We should attach importance to the construction of family civilization, and strive to make thousands of families in Qian Qian an important starting point for national development, national progress and social harmony, and a place where people dream of sailing.

"I want to be the leader of creating a civilized family and let the general secretary rest assured."

  Wang laxu(Winner of the first "National Civilized Family" and Director of Xingdong Mine Production Department of Hebei Jizhong Energy Co., Ltd.): As a representative of the national civilized family, I was received by the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader. The first time I had the opportunity to shake hands with the general secretary, I was particularly excited.

  Building a civilized family is what every citizen should do, but the party has given me such a great honor. The deeds of other representatives attending the meeting also moved me to tears, and each of their families had touching stories. Professor Li Baoguo has been fighting with farmers in the front line of poverty alleviation through science and technology for more than 30 years, and his whole family fully supports him. Their family is an example for me to learn. Some heroes have won prizes, but they can never see their medals … … Compared with them, I feel that I have done nothing. Taking part in this activity, I received a spiritual baptism.

  I found the direction from the general secretary’s high evaluation and ardent expectation of civilized families. When I go back, I will definitely be the leader in creating a civilized family. With more civilized families in the country, the country will be stable, which will reassure the general secretary.

On December 20, 2016, the Supreme Leader met with the astronauts of Tiangong-2 and Shenzhou-11 manned missions and representatives of the participants.

  Supreme Leader: I hope that the vast number of astronauts will bravely climb the peak and keep moving forward on the journey of space development, and make contributions to building a space power and a world science and technology power.

"Keep in mind President Xi’s entrustment and contribute to the realization of the dream of a powerful country."

  Zhao pisheng(Associate Research Fellow, Environmental Control and Life Insurance Research Office, China Astronaut Research and Training Center): On the morning of December 20th, 2016, I was cordially received by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader in the Great Hall of the People as a representative of the technical cadres of Tiangong-2 and Shenzhou-11 manned missions. Although I have been engaged in manned space flight for 20 years, I am very excited and proud to participate in such activities for the first time.

  At 10 o’clock in the morning, accompanied by warm applause, President Xi walked slowly towards us. I applauded warmly with everyone, staring at President Xi, watching President Xi and the representatives in the front row shake hands and have a cordial conversation. At that moment, there was only one thought in my heart, that is, I kept reminding myself that I must stand up straight and show my best image to President Xi, so that President Xi could rest assured of our space team. After taking a group photo with everyone, President Xi delivered an important speech. After listening to President Xi’s speech, I deeply feel that the mission of manned spaceflight I am engaged in is great and glorious.

How terrible is the explosion of ammonium nitrate? A cargo ship full of fertilizer blew up thousands of buildings.

Original SME SME technology story

Chemical plant explosions have occurred frequently at home and abroad, which is frightening.

One to two, people have a fear of dangerous chemicals.

But life is always inseparable from chemistry, and even the fertilizer used in the cultivation of essential grain may be explosive and dangerous goods. Ammonium nitrate is a commonly used agricultural fertilizer, but it is also the "culprit" that caused the worst industrial disaster in American history.

Smoke billowing from the explosion in the worst industrial disaster in American history.

This chemical with the word "nitrate" as the head is always disturbing.

Perhaps it is because they are often known together with explosions. For example, trinitrotoluene, the main component of TNT explosives, is made by nitration of toluene.

The great power of TNT has long been recognized. A Grenade thrown on the battlefield killed and injured a large area only contains 50 grams of TNT, and 14 kilograms of TNT can destroy a football field.

As early as the mid-19th century, Swedish engineers applied for a patent to support mixed explosives with ammonium nitrate and other combustion improvers.

Ammonium nitrate has since become a widely used raw material for industrial explosives.

A quarter pound TNT Grenade

Although ammonium nitrate can be used as an explosive, pure ammonium nitrate without combustion improver is actually the most difficult nitric explosive to detonate.

It does not burn by itself at room temperature, and ammonium nitrate is extremely insensitive to impact.

The experimental study shows that the 50kg hammer falls on solid ammonium nitrate from a height of 50cm, and its explosion probability is 0;

Compared with the famous explosive nitroglycerin, a 200g hammer can be detonated 100% when it falls from a height of 20cm.

At the same time, ammonium nitrate has a high nitrogen concentration and stable performance, so people often use it as a nitrogen-containing fertilizer.

Nitrogen fertilizer is mainly helpful to improve the yield and quality of crops.

As everyone knows, ammonium nitrate fertilizer, which made people relax their vigilance, triggered a sudden compound disaster of land, sea and air.

Ammonium nitrate fertilizer

After World War II, although the United States won the war, most areas fell into the post-war economic depression.

However, the southern city of Texas is a different story.

This coastal city is busy day and night, with chemical plants and oil refineries running nonstop, and there are endless cargo ships in the port.

At that time, Texas was praised as a "port of opportunity" by major American media and newspapers, and it was the core of industrial development in the South.

This prosperity made the whole country envy, but soon, the prosperous industrial development also brewed a small Mars that destroyed everything.

By 1947, about 2,500 ships visited the ports in Texas every year, and even Monsanto opened a chemical plant in the town.

On April 16th, the wharf began to operate before dawn as usual, but it was a special day recorded in American industrial history.

There is a cargo ship, the Grand Camp, moored beside the port. This French cargo ship has been staying for five days.

The ship is loaded with some oilfield equipment, drill pipes, hemp ropes and weapons and ammunition shipped from Belgium.

And its main "passenger" is actually 2300 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

At 8 o’clock in the morning, the crew was carrying the few remaining bags of ammonium nitrate into the cabin, when a smell of smoke caught their attention.

They looked intently and saw that the smoke seemed to be coming from the No.4 cabin where fertilizer was piled up.

Perhaps some ignorant crew member or docker ignored the no-smoking sign and smoked on the ship, which caused the fire.

The fire quickly spread to the deck and hull surface, and the smoke became bigger and bigger.

The crew quickly picked up fire extinguishers and fire pipes to put out the fire, and more than 20 firefighters arrived in time.

Seeing that the fire did not decrease, it became more and more intense, and the crew came up with another fire extinguishing method.

Rescuers stopped using water to put out the fire, but sealed the warehouse with slats and covered it with tarpaulins;

Then the high-temperature steam is introduced into the cabin, and it is intended to squeeze out the oxygen in the cabin in this form.

In this way, without one of the three elements of combustion, combustion can not continue.

This method was a common fire fighting method for cargo ships at that time, and the captain also mixed selfishness in it-reducing the loss caused by the wet goods.

* Note: Material combustion requires three elements: combustion improver, combustible and temperature reaching the ignition point. Among them, oxygen is the most common combustion promoter.

People never expected that this method was really good, but it was equivalent to adding fuel to the fire for the cargo ship transporting ammonium nitrate.

More terrible than the fire of ammonium nitrate is the explosion.

Although ammonium nitrate is resistant to impact, it is very fragile in the face of high temperature.

When the temperature reaches about 165℃ or comes into contact with an open flame, solid ammonium nitrate will rapidly decompose to produce nitrous oxide and water vapor.

Nitrous oxide will also be converted into oxygen at high temperature, and the gas that rescuers tried their best to remove reappeared.

At this time, the reaction brewing in the air is not just as simple as burning.

The high temperature and high pressure environment created by firefighters made the warehouse a closed container to accelerate the explosion reaction.

People didn’t know anything about it at that time, only to find that even with powerful rescue forces, the fire was still too big to control.

At 8: 30, the captain ordered to abandon the Grand Camp and bear the loss of all the goods.

However, he was only distressed to lose a ship and cargo, but he didn’t expect the fire to turn into a bigger disaster.

At 9: 12, a loud bang from the port made almost the whole city tremble.

A fireball went straight into the sky and turned the sky red. Thick smoke soared to an altitude of 610 meters and spread everywhere. Part of the hull melted into pieces and jetted out of the dock.

Two planes accidentally flew over at this time and were directly destroyed and fell.

The explosion near the wharf caused the 160km water body in Fiona Fang to be choppy, which triggered a tsunami, and set off waves as high as 4.5m, hitting the land.

Even Houston, 40 kilometers north of Texas, felt a violent vibration, and the window glass of some houses was directly shattered.

This has become a major disaster facing the sea, land and air in all directions.

In the sudden explosion, none of the first firefighters who entered the rescue survived.

Nearby residents took refuge at home with trepidation, but they still could not escape the surging tsunami.

The fire that continues the explosion is still going on, which makes people afraid to get close.

The busy Texas dock is not a harbor of the Grand Camp, but dense cargo ships and chemical plants and refineries along the coast have become another hidden danger.

Just 15 hours after the explosion, people have not recovered from it, and the second explosion happened.

A large number of chemical plants and refineries are densely distributed.

On the coast 200 meters away from the Grand Camp, there is also a cargo ship named Success.

This cargo ship also contains nearly 1000 tons of ammonium nitrate and 180 tons of sulfur.

The explosion and fire extended to the USS Success, bringing a second thrilling explosion.

The explosion triggered a series of chain reactions, and nearby freighters and factories exploded one after another.

Successive disasters eventually killed 581 people and injured more than 3,500 people. At that time, more than a quarter of the population in Texas was killed or injured in the disaster.

Thousands of residential buildings and commercial buildings were destroyed by the tsunami, and 1,100 docks were damaged.

At that time, the prosperous capital and industrial city of Texas lost about $100 million (equivalent to more than $1 billion now).

This is the worst disaster in American industrial history, and the reasons behind it are complicated and strange.

First of all, there was a small fire in the cabin for reasons that have not been clear so far.

Then rescuers used self-defeating fire fighting methods, which eventually aggravated the explosion.

At the same time, the government regulatory agencies themselves have many loopholes.

In the era of post-war economic recovery, the industrial process has become the most important thing beyond laws and policies, and managers can only ignore the interests.

After the accident, a large-scale funeral was held for the unidentified victims.

At that time, there were about 6,000 fertilizer chemical plants in the United States, but most of them did not report the storage of ammonium nitrate in the Department of Homeland Security, although the inventory was as high as 1,300 times that of the mandatory review.

It is conceivable that the industrial intensive Texas was equivalent to hiding countless stealth bombs at that time, just waiting for an opportunity to detonate.

Once detonated, it will lead to irreparable loss of life and property.

Only in this way can the federal government face up to the audit and supervision of chemical plants and dangerous chemicals.

The government has drawn up new standards and improved the management and transportation system of dangerous chemicals. Enterprises have also established an industrial mutual aid system, and agreed to join hands in the event of danger.

This appalling Texas explosion has become history, and the United States has entered a new era of strict industrial management.

Afterwards, major media rushed to report the accident.

But no matter what era the strict system is put in, there will always be people who exploit loopholes.

Dangerous chemicals such as ammonium nitrate are never kind to those who neglect them.

In 2013, also in Texas, another chemical fertilizer factory exploded.

However, this time, it was no longer because of people’s ignorance that the mistake was made, but the chemical fertilizer plant built a non-compliant ammonia storage tank privately.

Up to 24 tons of anhydrous ammonia accidentally triggered an explosion, killing 35 people.

Sadly, some people were killed innocently in the explosion of ammonium nitrate, and some people deliberately used ammonium nitrate as a weapon for terrorist attacks.

In 2011, a nightclub in Bali exploded. This is a vicious explosion in which 202 people were killed by terrorists using ammonium nitrate.

In 1995, terrorists used ammonium nitrate to make explosives to blow up the federal building.

Chemicals usually have both advantages and disadvantages for human beings.

Ammonium nitrate is a common industrial explosive, but it is also a good fertilizer.

Nitroglycerin, which can be used as an explosive, is also a good medicine for cardiovascular diseases …

People often suffer while using them to achieve certain interests.

However, the progress of human beings lies in that no matter how dangerous the substance is, it can be controlled by human beings and finally serve human beings.

From the Spring Festival in China to the Iranian Spring Festival, these China experts race against time.

  Soymilk, fried dough sticks and tea eggs. In Teheran, the capital of Iran, far from home, the China Red Cross assisted the Iranian volunteer medical expert team to have a Chinese breakfast specially prepared for them.

  March 20th is the traditional Iranian festival Nowruz, which is the Iranian New Year, equivalent to the first day of the Spring Festival in China.

  The local Chinese-funded enterprises specially sent these love breakfasts early in the morning to express their gratitude to the China experts who have been busy in Iran in recent days and provided them with epidemic prevention training, epidemic question and answer, diagnosis and other services.

  From the Lunar New Year in China to the traditional Iranian New Year, these China experts have been racing against the epidemic all the way without stopping. After eating the love breakfast, they immediately set off and started a new day’s intense work.

  An expert from China who moved to Iran from Wuhan said that he hoped that Iran would welcome spring flowers like Wuhan as soon as possible.

  Looking forward to, looking forward to, the pace of spring is closer.

  Iran’s most deserted traditional festival

  Look forward to spring.

  Around March 20th every year is the most important traditional festival in Iran — — Nowruz, the Iranian New Year. Similar to the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival in Chinese, local people usually visit relatives and friends and greet each other during the festival to welcome the coming of spring.

  However, this holiday season, Iran is still mired in the epidemic, and the confirmed data is still in a period of rapid growth. As of March 20th, the number of confirmed cases in COVID-19 has approached 20,000. According to the Iranian Ministry of Health on the 19th, an average of 50 people are diagnosed every hour in Iran.

  The Iranian government called on residents to stay at home to celebrate the festival and prevent the spread of the epidemic.

  According to Xinhua News Agency, many Iranians canceled their travel plans and stayed at home for the holidays. On the first day of the Iranian New Year, Tehran, with a permanent population of more than 8 million, is like an empty city, standing silently in the mountains at the southern foot of the Elbers Mountains.

  "I have lived for almost 60 years and have never seen the streets of Tehran so deserted." Local resident Motametti told Xinhua News Agency.

  From Shanghai and Wuhan to Iran

  Race against time all the way

  The epidemic situation in Iran has spread rapidly and the death rate is high. It is no exaggeration to say that epidemic prevention and treatment work must race against time.

  In the early morning of February 29th, a team of five volunteers from China Red Cross Society arrived in Teheran, the Iranian capital, with some medical supplies from China.

  Since February 29th, China’s expert group has been working in Iran for 20 consecutive days, and has been going to various parts of Iran to discuss and exchange with Iranian medical workers and experts in the field of public health, and to explore the treatment plan.

  Zhou Xiaohang, leader of the expert group and director of the Shanghai Red Cross Relief and Rescue Department, said that in order to fight the epidemic, most members of the expert group canceled all vacation plans and have been working since the Spring Festival, and some of them were transferred immediately after finishing their work in the domestic anti-epidemic front line.

  Qian Zhiping, a member of the expert group and chief physician of Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, has been working in Shanghai’s anti-epidemic front line since January 20th, which can be said to be from China New Year to Iranian New Year.

  "It’s a pity that I have been out all the time and have been home several times occasionally, but I haven’t had time to eat a meal at home." Qian Zhiping said, "I didn’t have much rest after coming here. I had work arrangements every day. After coming for 20 days, I walked with my colleagues to the nearby community as far as possible and inspected the protection of residents."

  I hope Iran will be as blooming as Wuhan as soon as possible.

  Wang Dongsheng, a respiratory doctor in the First Affiliated Hospital of China University of Science and Technology, and Li Ming, a laboratory doctor, were new members who reinforced Teheran in March.

  Wang Dongsheng just finished his anti-epidemic task in Wuhan. He said that Wuhan has gradually returned to normal, hoping to bring China’s anti-epidemic experience to Iran, so that Iran can be as blooming as Wuhan at an early date.

  The expert team covers experts in many fields such as disease control, prevention and clinic. In Iran, they exchange experiences with the local Ministry of Health and frontline medical workers every day. After returning to the residence in the evening, we will have a collective meeting to summarize the opinions exchanged with local counterparts and experts, and then jointly study the prevention and treatment plan.

  There is no point in going to work and no point after work. This is the normal state of their work in Iran.

  The Iranian people kept saying: Thank you China, thank you.

  What makes the China expert group particularly gratified is that both the detection ability of Iranian hospitals, people’s awareness of protection and the cure rate have been significantly improved. Experts from China gave everything to each other, which was also well received by local professionals and the public.

  Zhou Xiaohang said, "The Iranian people are very enthusiastic about us. No matter the partners we meet at work or the people we meet on the street, when they see that we are wearing China Red Cross jackets, they will come over and ask for a group photo, and they will keep thanking us and saying, ‘ Thank you, China. Thank you. ’”

  He said that at present, Iran’s previous measures have achieved certain results, but Iran will still face a critical period of anti-epidemic in the next two weeks and still cannot relax.

Summary of China’s educational reform and development achievements since the 18th CPC National Congress.

  If education is strong, the country will be strong, and if education is prosperous, the nation will prosper. Education is not only related to individual development and family happiness, but also to national prosperity and national rejuvenation.

  Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, giving priority to the development of education, from unified thinking to positive action, the whole country played a game of chess and promoted the tide of educational reform and development in China.

  Strengthen top-level design and give priority to education.

  In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "building an educational power is the basic project for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We must give priority to education, deepen educational reform, speed up educational modernization, and run a satisfactory education for the people."

  Education is an important way to improve people’s comprehensive quality and promote their all-round development, an important cornerstone of national rejuvenation and social progress, and a cause of decisive significance to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Education determines today and the future of mankind; Education inherits the past, creates the present and creates the future, which is an important force to promote the progress of human civilization — — These ideas have become a high consensus of the whole party and the whole country. Adhering to the strategic position of giving priority to education has a solid ideological foundation, so the direction of action is clearer and the pace of progress is more forceful.

  The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core advocates and sets an example of the idea of giving priority to education with practical actions, so that the concept and strategy of giving priority to education are implemented. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has made a series of important expositions and issued a series of important instructions on the essence of education and its position and role in the Chinese dream journey of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, there have been more than a dozen documents and plans related to education reform at the meeting of the Central Committee for Deep Restructuring and Deep Reform chaired by General Secretary of the Supreme Leader. Rural Teacher Support Program (2015— 2020), Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Educational System and Mechanism, Overall Plan for Promoting the Construction of World-class Universities and First-class Subjects, Several Opinions on Promoting the Reform and Development of Urban and Rural Compulsory Education Integration, Opinions on Comprehensively Deepening the Reform of Teachers’ Team Construction in the New Era, Opinions on Standardizing the Development of Off-campus Training Institutions and Opinions on Deepening the Reform and Standardized Development of Preschool Education, etc., have carried out pragmatic and accurate top-level design, pointing to the difficulties of reform and having far-reaching influence.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, all localities have been actively promoting the reform and development of education, giving priority to investment in construction, introducing talents, solving difficulties and publicizing typical cases, and putting education in a strategic position of giving priority to development.

  A century-long plan, education-oriented. Strengthening the Party’s leadership over education, the Central Deep Reform Group and the Committee for Deep Reform made many decisions on major issues of education reform and development, which further enhanced the status of education, strengthened coordination and effectively promoted the reform and development of education.

  Policy guarantee investment, "4%" is a milestone.

  Continuous investment in education is a basic and strategic investment to support the long-term development of the country, and it is increasingly becoming an important indicator to evaluate whether a country or a region gives priority to the development of education.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party and the state have attached great importance to education. Attach importance to education and be input-based. In 2012, China’s fiscal education expenditure accounted for more than 4% of GDP for the first time, exceeding 2 trillion yuan, and remained above 4% for six consecutive years. In 2017, the national fiscal education expenditure reached 3.42 trillion yuan.

  In recent years, the party and the state have been steadily increasing investment in education. Last year, the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for the Development of National Education" issued by the State Council further clarified that the proportion of national fiscal education expenditure to GDP should generally not be less than 4%, that the fiscal general public budget education expenditure should only increase year by year, and that the average general public budget education expenditure should only increase year by year.

  The development of education depends on both the city and the countryside. The party and the government are concerned about the healthy growth of rural students. Since 2011, the central government has allocated a total of 159.1 billion yuan to implement the nutrition improvement plan for rural students in 1631 counties in 29 provinces, covering all key poverty alleviation and development counties in the country and benefiting more than 37 million students.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has accelerated the construction of educational informatization and successfully completed the project of "Full Coverage of Digital Education Resources in Teaching Points". At present, the internet access rate of primary and secondary schools in China has increased from 25% to 94%, and the proportion of multimedia classrooms has increased from less than 40% to 87%.

  Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, all localities strive to give priority to education development in economic and social development planning, give priority to financial funds to ensure education investment, give priority to public resources to meet the needs of education and human resources development, and support sound and rapid economic and social development with priority development of education.

  The support of real money and silver is widely praised by all walks of life. According to international empirical data, when the proportion of fiscal education funds to GDP reaches about 4%, the proportion of fiscal revenue to GDP is generally 30%— 40%。 China reached 4% when the fiscal revenue accounted for less than 30% of GDP, which strongly shows that the party and the government attach unprecedented importance to education.

  Grasp the key tasks and implement the priority development of education.

  The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China described the grand blueprint of "basically realizing socialist modernization" by 2035 and "building a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power" by the middle of this century.

  For the development and progress of the whole society, education plays a leading, overall and basic role. Building an educational power is the basic project for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Only with the rise of education can there be the development of science and technology and the rise of national strength.

  Since the reform and opening up, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, historic changes have taken place in education in China, and historic achievements have been made. The overall development level of education in China has entered the upper-middle class in the world. China’s educational opportunities are increasing. At present, the net enrollment rate of primary school-age children and the gross enrollment rate of junior high school exceed or equal to the average level of high-income countries, and the gross enrollment rate of senior high school is higher than the average level of middle-and high-income countries. In 2017, the gross enrollment rate of preschool education in China was 79.6%, an increase of 15.1 percentage points over 2012; The average educational years of the population aged 15 and above reached 9.6 years, and the average educational years of the working-age population reached 10.5 years. Higher education is rapidly moving towards the stage of popularization. In 2017, the gross enrollment rate of higher education reached 45.7%, which is higher than the average level of middle-and high-income countries.

  To promote the reform and development of education, we should grasp the main contradictions. Being good at grasping the key points not only reflects the overall analysis and judgment of the work, but also reflects the ability to solve problems and resolve contradictions.

  Chen Baosheng, Party Secretary and Minister of the Ministry of Education, said: to grasp the key task of giving priority to the development of education, the education front must comprehensively implement the party’s education policy, implement the fundamental task of cultivating people by virtue, and develop quality education; Adhere to the people-centered, continue to promote education equity, and fill the shortcomings of people’s livelihood; Coordinate the development of all kinds of education at all levels with the new development concept, deepen the comprehensive reform in the field of education, and accelerate the construction of a learning society.

  One of the key points to give priority to the development of education is to build an educational governance system that adapts to the new era and realize the modernization of educational governance capacity, so as to solve the total problem caused by insufficient educational development and the structural problem caused by unbalanced educational development.

  Education, especially higher education, is an important combination of the first productivity of science and technology and the first resource of talents. At present, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have made a major decision to speed up the construction of world-class universities and first-class disciplines, run universities based on China, and strive to improve the level of higher education and enhance the core competitiveness of the country. Colleges and universities have developed into an important part of the national scientific and technological innovation system, and have produced a number of landmark achievements that serve the national strategy and have international influence in manned spaceflight, supercomputers and other fields. China’s colleges and universities have moved forward greatly in the ranking of many universities in the world. According to the ranking of world universities published by QS Global Education Group, six universities in mainland China have entered the top 100, and some disciplines have reached or approached the world-class level.

  At present, China has established educational cooperation and exchange relations with 188 countries and regions in the world, and there are more than 2,360 Chinese-foreign cooperative education institutions and projects nationwide. The international competitiveness and influence of China’s education have been significantly enhanced.

  We are striding forward from a big education country to a strong education country, and looking to the future. We firmly believe that under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, more than 1.3 billion people will enjoy a better and fairer education and gain the ability to develop themselves, contribute to society and benefit the people. Education in China will surely gather a steady stream of intellectual resources and provide strong talent support for realizing the goal of "two hundred years" and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
