Crazy gold has once again shown a correction. Should it be bought or sold now?

  Chinanews. com April 13 th (Zhongxin Finance reporter Zuo Yuqing) Gold fell!

  On April 12, the international gold price that once broke through the $2,400 mark plunged in intraday trading, and London spot gold closed down 1.25% to $2,343.29 per ounce; COMEX gold futures closed down 0.53% at $2,360.2 per ounce.

  Affected by this, on April 13th, the domestic gold jewelry price dropped. On that day, the gold jewelry price of Lao Fengxiang was 737 yuan/gram, and that of Chow Tai Fook was 736 yuan/gram, which was about 10 yuan/gram lower than the previous day.

  International closing price of gold and silver on April 12.

  What happened?

  On April 10 -12, the gold price, which had maintained an upward trend before, took a roller coaster ride.

  On the evening of April 10th, the latest ——CPI data, the most critical inflation data before the Federal Reserve’s May resolution, was released. The CPI of the United States rose by 3.5% year-on-year in March, which was higher than the market expectation of 3.4%, which means that the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates in June decreased.

  After the data was released, the international gold and silver prices fell briefly. However, the US PPI growth rate of 2.1% in March announced on the evening of 11th was slightly lower than expected, and the chain growth rate slowed down to 0.2%, which made gold and silver "rebel" again.

  From April 11th to 12th, the international gold price returned to the upward trend. On the 12th, COMEX gold reached a maximum of $2,448.8 per ounce; Spot gold in London once reached $2,431.78 per ounce, both hitting record highs.

  However, just as COMEX gold and London spot gold both broke through the $2,400 mark, several Fed officials said that the interest rate cut would be later than previously expected.

  Federal Reserve official Collins said that it is now expected that the Fed will cut interest rates later than previously expected. Federal Reserve official goolsbee pointed out that the United States is in a contradictory environment, and the Fed must reduce the inflation rate to the target level, and many inflation data are higher than expected. He does not want to impose restrictions on the actions that the Fed may take in future meetings; Federal Reserve official Daley believes that at present, the Fed is moving towards the goal of reducing inflation to 2% as gently as possible, and there is no urgency to cut interest rates.

  The voice of Fed officials made the re-rising gold dive again at a high level. London spot gold once rose by nearly 2.5%, but then plunged sharply, with a daily decline of 1.25% to $2,343.29 per ounce; COMEX gold futures once rose more than 3% in intraday trading, and finally closed down 0.53% at $2,360.2 per ounce.

  The skyrocketing gold deviates from "common sense"?

  It is worth mentioning that the previous skyrocketing performance of gold was regarded as deviating from "common sense".

  Some insiders believe that gold and the US dollar are rarely "competitive" with each other, reflecting the long-term hidden concerns of the US dollar credit.

  In January this year, the U.S. Treasury Department issued a report that the total amount of U.S. Treasury bonds reached $34 trillion for the first time, five years ahead of the previous forecast of the U.S. Congressional Budget Office. Some foreign media pointed out that this indicates that it will face political and economic challenges in improving the balance sheet of the United States in the next few years.

  The expectation of interest rate cuts in the United States is not convincing: since 2023, the frequent revision of non-agricultural data in the United States and the impact of part-time jobs on data have reduced the market’s trust in non-agricultural data; At the same time, although the US CPI data exceeded expectations, the US PPI data released in March on the evening of the 11th suspended inflation anxiety.

  In addition, under the geopolitical influence and high interest rate environment, the continuous purchase of gold by global central banks is also regarded as an important factor affecting the trend of gold.

  Huatai Securities’ collection team believes that the central bank’s purchase of gold not only reflects the recognition of the safe-haven nature of gold, but also shows the concern about the stability of the traditional monetary system under the continuous expansion of the Fed’s balance sheet.

  So, does this mean "the collapse of the dollar credit system"?

  Pan Helin, an economist, told Zhongxin Finance that the US dollar will remain an international currency for a long time to come. "The gold standard cannot return, so the performance of gold price is the cyclical performance of the US dollar, and it is affected by the cyclical fluctuation of risk-free interest rates."

  Buy or sell?

  "Gold will prove itself"-this is a ridicule from gold holders. However, how much room for gold to rise after a "violent" callback? Should investors buy or sell?

  Industrial Securities pointed out that the general public accounts for a relatively high proportion of gold investors, and professional investors and the public are divided in their perception of the value of gold investment. The judgment of global central banks on the value of gold will include political factors, but if the price of gold deviates too much from the actual value, central banks will also consider the cost and risk of allocating gold.

  Zhongxin Finance noted that although the price of gold fluctuated in the short term, the scale of several gold ETFs such as Huaan Gold ETF, Bosera Gold ETF, E Fund Gold ETF and Cathay Pacific Gold ETF has reached a record high. According to third-party data, from March 1 to April 12, gold ETFs and gold stock ETFs attracted more than 12 billion yuan.

  On April 12, Shanghai Gold Exchange issued an announcement, announcing to increase the margin ratio of gold deferred contracts, the price limit and the margin of performance-guaranteed inquiry contracts. At the same time, investors are reminded to do a good job in risk prevention, control their positions reasonably and invest rationally to ensure the stable and healthy operation of the market.

  Pan Helin believes that it is more likely that the Fed will postpone the interest rate cut at present, but the persistence of the continued rise in gold prices still exists, because although the Fed may delay the interest rate cut, it is inevitable that interest rates will peak. (End)

Zhao Liying’s career is up? The first producer’s work exceeded expectations, and the first film was shortlisted for the Hundred Flowers Award

Since the collective transformation of 85 flowers, Zhao Liying has been the most stable one. First, she chose to cooperate with the big factory Noon Sunshine in the comfort zone to win "Do you know if you should be green, fat, red and thin", in which Zhao Liying rarely did not use dubbing. This is quite rare in the environment where actors try to save trouble and use dubbing. It has to be said that Zhao Liying still has two brushes in choosing the script and shaping the role. Once the drama was broadcast, it became a hit and became Zhao Liying’s pension insurance.

To this day, there are still many people who revisit "I Know Whether I Know Whether I Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Skinny" when they are bored. After Zhao Liying got married and had a baby, she collaborated with director Zheng Xiaolong on the realist film and television drama "Happiness to Wanjia" about the little character "He Xingfu". For a traffic star, it is a risky act to choose to cast off the halo and star in an unpopular theme, but she also did it in order to broaden the future path of her acting career.

It is because of this drama that Zhao Liying’s malleability was once again recognized by the audience. Although she was attacked by many contemporaries because of the poor data, it meant that Zhao Liying took the second step of transformation. Then Zhao Liying chose the film and television drama "Wind Blows Half Summer" produced by iQIYI. This drama mainly tells the story of the businesswoman Xu Banxia’s business, which was rare at that time, but Zhao Liying still chose this drama.

In order to fit the role, Zhao Liying even deliberately chose to gain weight. As a result, she was criticized by many fans of the same period for not being dedicated enough, and the filming did not consider the effect of the camera. Fortunately, Zhao Liying’s performance in this drama was recognized by the industry and the audience, and she was also nominated for the Magnolia Award. Although it was a pity that she lost to Wu Yue in the end, the nomination proved that the industry recognized Zhao Liying’s acting skills, and at least she could stand on the same platform as the Tsing Yi big flowers to compete for the same award.

From this moment on, Zhao Liying’s position in the TV drama circle was completely stabilized, and she turned around to break into the film circle. As long as it is gold, it will shine everywhere. Zhao Liying soon got the opportunity to cooperate with the international director Zhang Yimou, and played the role of the deaf mother Hao Xiuping in her new film "Article 20". Perhaps because this is Zhao Liying’s first film work after transformation, her character has received high attention on the Internet.

Even once overwhelmed the female lead, Ma Li. Melon-eating netizens were very dissatisfied with this kind of behavior. Fortunately, the final results of the film were good, and Zhao Liying also received a lot of bonuses. However, the blessing of this film for Zhao Liying is more than that. On May 18, the shortlist for the 37th Mass Hundred Flowers Awards was announced, and Zhao Liying, who played the role of Hao Xiuping in "Article 20", was listed. This was a surprise for Zhao Liying. The actual achievements of actors in the film industry are box office and awards.

And Zhao Liying just entered the film industry and was able to be shortlisted is still very impressive. Fans haven’t had time to be happy for Zhao Liying’s movie role to be shortlisted for the Hundred Flowers Award. The film and television drama "Walking with Phoenix", starring and producing by Zhao Liying, has held a celebration banquet. Many netizens who often mix in the entertainment industry should be very clear that the basic condition for a TV series to hold a celebration banquet is that the broadcast data and popularity are not bad, and it has been recognized by the platform and producers.

Therefore, there are so many film and television dramas broadcast throughout the year, and only a few choose to hold a celebration banquet. And Zhao Liying’s first production as a supervisor can achieve such good results, which is enough to prove that Zhao Liying not only has good acting skills, but also has a long-term vision, and can effectively control the production quality of film and television dramas. "Walking with Phoenix" belongs to the real high opening and high walking, and the broadcast performance has occupied the first place for a long time. Zhao Liying has been able to achieve such good results.

Because Zhao Liying is a producer, this drama will not be changed by magic, and there will be no supporting roles, and even the famous scenes will be restored. Zhao Liying still chose to star in the drama after the transformation, probably still wanted to give an explanation to the fans of "The Legend of Chu Qiao", so Yuwen Yue, who has not been salvaged for a long time, finally succeeded in this drama. How is this not a linkage to another degree?

When fans were happy that Zhao Liying had unlocked her new identity and achieved such good results in her first film and television production as a supervisor, Zhao Liying’s short drama "In the World" was announced on May 24. The play is a new attempt for Zhao Liying, and the Jia Xiaoduo in the play is a patient with multiple personalities. In order to figure out the psychological state and external performance of different personalities, Zhao Liying entered the group and became "hidden".

The setting of multiple personalities has cast a mysterious veil on the development of the drama’s plot, and the audience is more and more looking forward to the final presentation of the drama. On the same day, Zhao Liying’s studio sent a long message to bid farewell to Jia Xiaoduo. Through this small composition, netizens who eat melons are more and more looking forward to Zhao Liying’s interpretation of Jia Xiaoduo. First, she was shortlisted for the Hundred Flowers Award for Female Supporting, then the first producer’s work held a celebration banquet, and finally the latest work was completed, and Zhao Liying’s career seemed to be on the rise.

This is already Zhao Liying’s second work of the year. In 2024, Zhao Liying has already completed the filming of two works. It is rumored that she will soon make a cameo appearance in "Happy". So it seems that Zhao Liying is a true model worker in the entertainment industry. Even if her current achievements in film and television are impeccable, she will still want to continue to develop, tap her inner potential, and see where she can eventually go.

Zhao Liying seems to have always been like an outlier among the 85 flowers, being squeezed out by the same period of flowers, far from being as good as Yang Mi. When Yang Mi, Tang Yan and Liu Shishi were deeply in love, Zhao Liying has always been diligent in filming. Now she is far behind other competitors. She is too sober and knows what she wants from beginning to end. The frequent news of May not only makes fans happy, but also maybe for Zhao Liying herself, the hard work in the past year has finally paid off.

In fact, there are many factors for Zhao Liying’s success. One is that she chooses the script and role that suits her step by step, and it is precisely because of this that most of Zhao Liying’s resume is good drama, and it can also win the love of many audiences. The second is that Zhao Liying has a long-term plan for her career development and will not stare at the present. Although the script Zhao Liying chose at that time was not a popular script on the market, the broadcast effect was very good.

It is precisely because of this keenness that Zhao Liying can walk in front of everyone. Third, Zhao Liying is serious about her acting career, she will choose to improve herself at the right time, and will also choose a more conducive way at the right time. It is the above three points that have made Zhao Liying achieve such outstanding results in the film and television industry.

He suffered from cerebral palsy since childhood and typed with the tip of his tongue against his lips. His science fiction was shortlisted for the grand prize.


Cctv news: Chen Weiqi is an online writer whose pen name is Lobster from Heaven. At the age of 35, it took him ten years to complete a 210,000-word novel "Advanced Life", which was also shortlisted for the 10th Global Chinese Science Fiction Xingyun Award earlier this month.

Chen Weiqi suffered from cerebral palsy since childhood and typed with the tip of his tongue against his lips. His science fiction was shortlisted for the grand prize. When his hands can’t knock on the keyboard, he types with the tip of his tongue against his lips and writes one literary work after another. Although he didn’t finish junior high school, it didn’t stop the "supplies" given to him by active thinking and reading enthusiasm.

At the beginning of this month, the 10th Global Chinese Science Fiction Xingyun Award announced the shortlist of works. Among the best novels, Chen Weiqi’s work "Advanced Life" was among them. Some netizens who are familiar with him lamented that Chen Weiqi’s creative experience itself is an extraordinary advanced process of life.

Chen Weiqi, who suffers from cerebral palsy and can’t stand and walk, can only move his left and right little fingers with his hands. He didn’t finish junior high school. He taught himself by surfing the Internet and wrote works of nearly one million words.

Can’t type with both hands, can’t pronounce clearly, and can’t use voice input. Chen Weiqi has explored a special typing method.

Once, Chen Weiqi tried to click on the keyboard with the only movable left little finger, but this method didn’t work because the arm was out of control. He simply tried all his five senses. His nose is too short and his chin is too large. Typing with his mouth biting chopsticks will make his mouth water … …

Finally, he finally found that typing with the tip of his tongue against his lips, although not fast, could last longer. So, with this method, he sat in front of the computer for more than ten hours every day and clicked the keyboard thousands of times with the tip of his tongue and lips to try to finish his writing.

Chen weiqiIf it hurts, you owe your ass a little. If it hurts on the left, push it slightly to the right. If it hurts on the right, push it harder on the left.

In Chen Weiqi’s science fiction, most of the protagonists can break through their own limitations through scientific and technological means, explore the universe and fight against evil forces, which may be pinning his desire to get rid of the real illness.

For ordinary people, it is natural and simple to control their body movements; For Chen Wei, this is an almost impossible luxury. Because he had cerebral palsy since childhood, he barely learned to walk at the age of seven, but he always had active thinking in his memory.

However, during the first summer vacation, his illness was aggravated by a sudden high fever, and he was bedridden for the next two years. At that time, he felt more desperate than ever. However, with strong willpower, his body gradually changed. Finally, one day, he sat up from the bed and began to teach himself junior high school courses. In 2001, he asked his family to buy him a computer with Internet access.

Through the Internet, Chen Weiqi read materials about medicine, philosophy, literature and so on, and sprouted the idea of writing. After finding a way to type with the tip of the tongue and lips, he kept trying to write and contribute. In 2003, his short science fiction stories were published on a website, which made him see hope.

Writing science fiction, let him regain confidence in confusion. In the next ten years, he completed the manuscript of the long science fiction "Advanced Life" and won many awards in online science fiction essays. However, in 2013, a serious illness struck again, causing him to lose consciousness below the head.

Unable to give up the manuscript of the work and unwilling to fate, Chen Wei made a strong effort to eat and let himself compete with his physical illness.

After half a year, Chen Weiqi’s illness gradually eased. With the help of his family and netizens, his two works were published successively.

A strong desire for creation enabled Chen Weiqi to find the direction, which supported him not to be depressed and not to give up. With the unimaginable efforts of ordinary people, he broke through the crisis and published his first novel.

Writing not only lit up his life, but also made him meet many friends who supported him. The warmth and friendship conveyed more confidence and courage. Today, Chen Weiqi has begun to try to get out of the house and embrace life.

In Chen Weiqi’s home, there is a Bluetooth device that uses the head to control the mouse, which was bought by netizens. Everyone often puts forward opinions and suggestions to help him improve his works. These warm actions are silently remembered by him. After the publication of Advanced Life, Chen Weiqi specially asked his family to buy 60 copies, printed his pen name with the seal sent by netizens, and sent it to those who helped him.

With more and more communication with friends, Chen Weiqi is becoming more and more cheerful.

Now, Chen Weiqi began to walk out of the house in a wheelchair to communicate with literary societies in some colleges and universities, share his writing experience face to face, and convey his goodwill and feelings.

Chen weiqiI am lucky to be born in such an era and such a society. It can be said that if there is no computer, no internet and the development of information technology during this period, I simply can’t imagine that a person like me can do things.

It is unfortunate for Chen Weiqi to be ill and have difficulty in moving since childhood, but the particularity of a writer lies in that any experience may become the source of creation. Chen Weiqi said that when you can’t write, you should also bite the bullet and write down, and then optimize everything. Isn’t this what he learned from the struggle against illness? I will walk till the water checks my path is inevitable in life, and we must never stop at this time. Only by persisting in moving forward can we finally have a day in then sit and watch the rising clouds.

Today, Chen Weiqi has walked out of that room and actively communicated with more people and integrated into society. This is a very happy thing. Finding one’s own existence and advanced way is not only what Chen Weiqi has to work hard to do, but also worthy of our serious consideration.

Girls with cerebral palsy have knocked out 470,000-word novels in three years with one finger (Figure)

  Name card/

  Yu Bin, female, 33 years old, from Panzhihua City. At the age of 3 months, cerebral palsy was caused by pneumonia. At the age of 14, with the help of her parents, she began to learn to read by herself. At the age of 18, she learned to write. In 2010, she joined the Panzhihua Writers Association and was admitted as a member of the Sichuan Writers Association in 2013.

  On March 10th, Panzhihua, the afternoon sunshine was just right. In a residential area in Bing District 3, warm light came in from the window, and the golden retriever at home dozed off in the corner.

  Sitting in front of the computer, meditating for a while, Yu Bin stretched out his right hand, struggled to cock his index finger, and struggled to press a few words on the keyboard. In her mind, the hero of the novel seems to be moving in front of her eyes. Such a day is three years in a flash. In three years, with this index finger, she knocked out 470,000 words and became a novel.

  Previously, she also completed two books: Doubtful Love, published by Writers Publishing House; Love in Heaven, published by Inner Mongolia Publishing Group.

  At the age of 33, she is a cerebral palsy patient.

  Cerebral palsy writer/

  Computer typing is not easy for bin. She wants to control her swaying body, hold the mouse with her very disobedient left hand, free up her slightly obedient right hand, and press the keyboard with one finger … … In this state, nearly 800,000 words of works have been completed.

  Yu Bin holds the walker and sits on the stool, while his mother Jie Sha sits opposite her. Mother and daughter often sit opposite each other and chat.

  The activities of Yu Bin’s hands, feet, head and other body parts are hard to control by his brain. Facing the reporter, she seems to have a lot to say, but after talking for a while, the reporter failed to understand. Mother Jie Sha told the reporter of Huaxi Dushi Bao: "What she meant by this sentence was that all her previous works were too monotonous. The book" Grey Star "involved love and crime, and the theme was richer than before." After listening to her daughter, Jie Sha added: "She said that she didn’t feel good enough, and she felt a little nervous."

  Only mother Jie Sha can understand her words. Her communication with the outside world depends only on her mother as a translator. In this way, she struggled to communicate with the world, felt the warmth and coldness of the world, and accumulated her own materials.

  On March 26th, her new book "Grey Star" will be signed at the Xinhua Wenxuan Bookstore in Panzhihua. During this time, Yu Bin felt a little uneasy: Will someone come to join us then? Can this book be recognized by everyone?

  Gray Star, the third book published by Yu Bin, is a novel with 470,000 words. If you only look at the words, it is almost impossible to imagine that the author behind these delicate words is a girl with cerebral palsy who can’t speak normally, can’t walk freely, and doesn’t even go to school for a day. 470 thousand words, all by her right hand, which is not very obedient to her brain, are hard to type out one by one. This book, which she wrote from 2012 to 2015, has been revised five times. The two books she wrote before also exceeded 300,000 words.

  Compared with her daughter’s nervousness, her mother Sha Jie felt sincerely gratified and happy. When Yu Bin was 3 months old, she suffered from severe pneumonia. Although the doctor pulled her back from the death line, she has been a child with cerebral palsy since then. Some doctors have estimated that she may not live to be 13 years old.

  Without giving up easily, Jie Sha and her husband took their daughter everywhere for medical advice and massage her every day, breaking the "curse" of "not living beyond 13 years old". When her daughter was 14, Jie Sha began to teach her to read. Besides the language barrier, Yu Bin can’t walk freely. Walking around the house, she needs a walker specially made for her by her father: a circular opening on the top and a small wheel on the bottom to help her move and walk.

  Yu Bin has never been to school, because no school is willing to accept it, so he has to study at home. But surprisingly, it is such a girl with cerebral palsy who has an unusual literary heart, and her writing is exquisite and rich.

  13-year-old curse/

  Yu Bin’s cerebral palsy was caused by severe pneumonia. Other children of the same age are jumping, but the daughter’s legs are soft, and there is no way to stand up, let alone walk. The doctor made it clear to her that if there was a case first, her daughter would probably not live beyond the age of 13.

  In the afternoon, the sunshine in the room was a little tilted, and the shadow of the golden retriever dragged on. Jie Sha recalled the past of the couple and their daughter for more than 30 years, and suddenly felt a little sad. However, she quickly adjusted her state and made a joke with her daughter.

  "Death at the age of 13" lies in the fact that Bin was 13 years old. This sentence seems to be like a "curse" that lingers. According to the time, my daughter can’t live past 1996.

  Jie Sha didn’t believe what the doctor said at first. But there is a neighbor around him. His son also suffered from cerebral palsy and left in his teens. But the couple are very stubborn and unwilling. Can the daughter really only live to be 13 years old? After deliberation, the couple thought that it was impossible to leave things to chance.

  Yu Bin lacks exercise and his muscles atrophy. In order to help her recover, the couple worked out a plan: Yu Jun picked up her daughter from her shoulder, and Jie Sha massaged her daughter’s feet and let her walk on the ground, so as to help her exercise her leg muscles every day.

  At that time, the couple still had an idea. If the daughter really wants to leave at the age of 13, then let her eat better and play better. As workers in Panzhihua Iron and Steel Company, their income is not high, but as long as they have holidays, the couple will travel with Yu Bin on their backs. Dad’s back is tired, so mom will carry it.

  Once, the couple took Yu Bin to Chengdu. Yu Bin said that she had never eaten western food, and the couple found a hotel, but found that western food here was very expensive. "Expensive is expensive, you can’t let your daughter come for nothing." Jie Sha said, so the family told the waiter that they were not hungry, and only ordered a western food for their daughter to eat alone.

  In 1996, Yu Bin was 13 years old, which was the most difficult year in the couple’s life. In this year, they were all living in fear.

  1996 passed quickly. Happily, what the doctor said then did not come true. The couple were relieved and thanked God for not taking away their daughter.

  The road to literature/

  At the age of 14, with the help of his parents, Yu Bin began to learn to read by himself. At the age of 18, he began to try to write. After a live composition, God opened another window for her … …

  Time goes by day, and Yu Bin is growing up day by day. Mother Jie Sha also thought about sending her daughter to school, but no school would accept her.

  At the age of 14, when Yu Bin saw the subtitles displayed on TV, he often asked: What does this mean and what does that mean?

  Shajie thought, maybe we can teach her to read. So, she cut some cards by herself, on which were written words such as father and mother. First, teach my daughter the pronunciation and usage of these words separately, and then mix the cards into a pile for her daughter to distinguish. Yu Bin seems to have a unique talent for writing, and she soon learned the above words. After that, by reading magazines and books, Yu Bin’s writing level was further improved.

  At the age of 18, Yu Bin was given a computer by her grandparents. Jie Sha stopped the teacher who came to help install the computer. She said that her daughter wanted to learn computers, and she asked him to teach her how to use the computer.

  The master glanced at Yu Bin and expressed great surprise: "Your daughter looks like a fool and still wants to learn computers?"

  Jie Sha brimming with tears, politely off the computer master. She managed to find five roots and some computer introductory books for her daughter to teach herself. Yu Bin is very competitive, thinking for himself and memorizing his own roots. Because her hands are not strong enough, she often stands in front of the computer for hours, and the radical table is turned over.

  A year later, Yu Bin has been able to skillfully use computers and likes to write short stories. Jie Sha thought her daughter’s writing was good, so she took her to the local radio station to contribute, but she didn’t want to, and it was really adopted. When listening to the story written by her daughter and playing it on the radio with music, Jie Sha’s eyes were moist.

  Sha Jie took her daughter to contribute to the local newspaper. After seeing the words written by Yu Bin, many people expressed doubts: Is this really written by her? Jie Sha asked Yu Bin to write on the spot, which shocked everyone at the scene. At that time, under the advice and guidance of teacher Pan Puzhou, the editor of the newspaper, Yu Bin compiled the previously published words into the first book "Doubtful Love" and embarked on the road of literature.

  Know people by reading literature/

  It is hard to imagine that a weak woman who has never been to school, can’t stand, can’t walk by herself, and has suffered from cerebral palsy since childhood has written such a work. Every word and punctuation in this book embodies Yu Bin’s sweat. In my years of editing career, there is no second person like Yu Bin.

  — — Pan Puzhou, a Panzhihua writer, spends more than 10 hours writing every day, which makes Yu Bin’s thin legs suffer from varicose veins. Pain and typing fatigue make this seemingly weak little girl very happy. Literature has brought her not only a few stories and poems, but also a different self, and she can experience the melodious music of life in the words.

  — — Writer a feng

  Text excerpt/

  Or the sad music you love, telling the beautiful experience; You and my melody are always humming in my heart and have never been forgotten by me. It’s still the words you said, striving for the deepest memory in this life; A little bit of you is my secret book, accompanying me to write a sweet ending.

  Two months in many people’s life journey, perhaps just a small intersection. Most people will rush past these obscure intersections, go forward, turn left, turn right or go back to their original place. And I met, knew and left a middle-aged man named Cheng Wensen in two months when I was 29 years old.

Meteorologists analyze the typhoon "fireworks": they walk slowly and fickle, and may not be as "powerful" as Lichima.

Public Network Poster Journalist Liang Wen Jinan Report
Typhoon "Fireworks" has started to affect Shandong since yesterday. According to the forecast issued by Shandong Meteorological Bureau at 15: 00 on July 27th, the center of "Fireworks" will enter our province from Lunan in the early morning of 29th, and enter Bohai Sea from Binzhou to Dongying on 30th. Why does the "fireworks" travel slowly and the path changes again and again? Which areas of Shandong will be mainly affected by the transit of "fireworks"? On the afternoon of July 27th, the poster journalist of Dazhong.com interviewed Hou Shumei, chief forecaster of Shandong Meteorological Bureau, and listened to meteorologists analyze the typhoon "fireworks".
Hou Shumei introduced that the biggest feature of the No.6 typhoon "Fireworks" this year is slow. Before landing at sea, the "fireworks" moved slowly, and the path changed again and again, and the path could be said to be "strange".
"At first, we thought it might come north or turn around and go south." Hou Shumei explained that this happened mainly because steering flow, the "fireworks", was not obvious, just between the offshore subtropical high and the inland continental high, and steering flow was very weak, so there was no obvious force to lead it, so sometimes the "fireworks" didn’t walk for a day in the early stage, and the distance was very small. "This situation is more difficult for forecasting." Hou Shumei said that the moving speed of "fireworks" is still relatively slow, but it may be faster than the previous speed after turning to the north in the future.
At present, the peripheral cloud system of "fireworks" has begun to affect Shandong and bring precipitation. According to the forecast of Shandong Meteorological Bureau at 15: 00 on July 27th, there will be heavy rainfall from south to north in our province from today’s night to 30th, and there will be heavy rain to heavy rain in southern Shandong, central Shandong and northwestern Shandong, and moderate to heavy rain in the peninsula. The heavy precipitation period is from the day of 28th to the night of 29th. The cumulative average precipitation in the whole province is 80 ~ 120mm, and the maximum rainfall intensity in Jining, Zaozhuang, Linyi, Rizhao, Jinan, Tai ‘an, Zibo, Weifang, Liaocheng, Dezhou, Binzhou, Dongying and Qingdao is 100 ~ 150mm, and the local area is more than 250mm, and the maximum rainfall intensity in one hour is 60 ~ 80mm. Heze, Qingdao, 50 ~ 80 mm in the east, more than 100 mm in some areas; Yantai and Weihai are 10 ~ 30 mm, and locally more than 50 mm (Figure 2). At the same time, the wind gradually increases from south to north, with 7-8 grades in the central Yellow Sea, Bohai Sea, Bohai Strait and northern Yellow Sea, 9-10 grades in gusts, 6-7 grades in inland areas and 8-9 grades in local gusts.
Through the real-time route map of "Fireworks", we can see that after the center of "Fireworks" moves into Shandong, it may go deep into southern Shandong, covering the whole of Shandong. Hou Shumei said that typhoons that went deep into southern Shandong were rare for many years, but they appeared more in the past two years. For example, the typhoons Capricorn and Wambia in 2018, and the typhoon Lichima in 2019. From the path, the moving path of "Lichima" in Shandong is eastward, and the path similar to that of "Fireworks" is "Wambia". Hou Shumei said that "Wambia" came in from Heze to Zaozhuang at that time and entered the sea from Dongying, which had a serious impact on Shandong.
Compared with "Wambia" and "Lichima", what is the influence of "fireworks" on Shandong? Hou Shumei said that it is impossible to rule out the possibility that the precipitation brought by "fireworks" will break through the historical extreme value at present, but from the analysis of the current situation, the conditions of "fireworks" are not as favorable as those of "Wambia". As the fireworks are gradually pushed northward in the later period, how the circulation evolves still needs attention. In addition, Hou Shumei said that "fireworks" is different from "Lichima". At present, there is no sign that the degree of rainfall caused by "fireworks" will exceed that of "Lichima", but this possibility cannot be ruled out. "With the approach of’ fireworks’, we need to continue to pay attention."

Plaid, the fashion in British blood.

Special correspondent of this newspaper Chen Jiacun
Recently, members of the British royal family "wore" the same plaid scarf in public activities. The designer of the scarf was Charles III, who hoped to show the "soft power" of the British royal family. When it comes to British clothes, many people will see a variety of plaid patterns, such as Scottish plaid with unique national characteristics, iconic plaid of luxury brand Burberry, and plaid of thousands of birds necessary for fashionistas … British people like to wear all kinds of plaid patterns on their bodies, which are traditional, trendy, elegant or everyday. It can be said that plaid patterns have become an important representative element of British fashion.
Scottish tartan is full of historical charm.
Perhaps the most distinctive plaid dress in Britain is the Scottish tartan skirt. Wearing a traditional Scottish knee-length plaid skirt, long wool socks, matching a vest and shawl of the same color, hanging a small pocket with exquisite workmanship on the waist, and then picking up an organ, the piano bag is relaxed and the piano sounds melodious …
In people’s impression, plaid is a crisscross of different color lines on wool fabric. These lines are divided into multiple rectangular patterns to form a multi-color plaid combination, showing the aesthetic feeling of interwoven color blocks. It is reported that the earliest tartan in Scotland appeared around the 3rd century AD, and was woven from two different types of wool.
With the development of the times, the plaid pattern on wool fabric becomes more and more complicated. According to statistics, at present, there are as many as 7,000 kinds of plaid patterns registered in Scotland, and more than 500 kinds can be woven. Each plaid has its own name, fixed color scheme and pattern combination, and some of them have interesting stories behind them.
According to records, Celts are good at dyeing and knitting wool. Historically, Celts have demonstrated a person’s status through the number of stripes on clothes. For example, a king’s clothes can have seven stripes, while farmers can only wear one stripe. Later, tartan was once introduced as the symbol of various families in Scotland. During the war, tartan on the battlefield was regarded as a symbol of unity, used to distinguish between the enemy and ourselves, and also used to convey the determination to defend their homes. Scottish tartan tells the development, history and culture of Scottish textile technology. No wonder some people call it "a British history".
British royal family, with fire plaid fashion
In thousands of years, tartan patterns have also been inextricably linked with the British royal family. The plaid patterns in Britain are mainly divided into general patterns and non-general patterns. The general patterns can be worn by anyone, but the production and use of non-general patterns need to be approved by the designer. For example, Barmor Lear Plaid, which came out in the 19th century, can only be worn on the body with the explicit permission of the British monarch for a long time. This plaid pattern was designed by Queen Victoria’s husband, and it is in three colors: gray, black and red. Almost all British monarchs after Queen Victoria have passed through the Barmor Lear plaid. At that time, the only non-royal member who was allowed to wear Barmor’s Lear Plaid was a bagpiper who served the British monarch.
Some tartan patterns have changed from strictly restricted non-universal to universal, such as Royal Stewart tartan. This pattern is Queen Elizabeth II’s "exclusive plaid". Apart from the Queen, many other members of the royal family have also appeared and taken photos in clothes with this pattern, making it one of the most famous plaid patterns in the world. Royal Stewart plaid patterns include red, blue, green and black, and there are many variations, representing different clan branches. Charles III also has his own plaid style.
The British royal family also carries many plaids, such as the famous Prince of Wales plaid. People often think that this plaid will be more elegant in suits. Charles III, Princess Diana, Princess Kate and even Beatles have worn clothes with Prince of Wales plaid. Prince of Wales Plaid is also called Glen Plaid, and its name is inspired by a manor in Scotland. This plaid is composed of three colors of black, white and gray, and the pattern is somewhat complicated-small plaids are intertwined with large plaids. King Edward VII of England first fell in love with this pattern of fabric, and Edward VIII completely brought it into the fashion circle. This pattern is suitable for outdoor scenes, can be paired with jeans, casual and chic, and is also suitable for more important occasions, and can be slightly decorated like a king.
Another plaid style favored by the royal family is the houndstooth plaid, which originated from Glenge, also known as the dog’s tooth plaid-two colors of "canine teeth" are interlaced and diagonally woven together, and the queen, princess, duchess and so on have all worn houndstooth plaid coats to attend public activities.
Living in England, plaid is everywhere.
The British people are still full of love for plaid. Apart from the Scottish plaid skirt worn by the guards of honor at the festival ceremony, plaid also goes deep into all aspects of British life, such as shirts, windbreakers, scarves, hats, gloves, sweaters, cloaks, slippers and handbags … Global Times reporters live in London and find that English or traditional or modern plaid can be found in almost all textiles, even to home decoration, floors and ceilings.
In order to better protect and count the traditional Scottish tartan patterns, in 2009, the Scottish tartan registry was officially put into operation, which was responsible for registering the information of existing tartan patterns and providing registration services for new patterns. Its database is constantly expanding. According to the website information of the registry, at the end of 2023, a newly registered plaid pattern was named "Light of Prism" to pay tribute to Newton and his book "Optics". The designer said that this work is not only a pattern, but also a story about light and discovery.
From classical to avant-garde, from tradition to trend, the love of plaid in British blood has flowed from the past to the present, and the inspiration from different cultures and eras has blended and gathered, allowing the British to wear more tolerance and diversity. ▲
