　　— — Keynote Speech at the Opening Ceremony of the 10th Ministerial Conference of China-Arab Cooperation Forum

　　(May 30, 2024, Beijing)

　　Chairman People’s Republic of China (PRC), Supreme Leader

Dear King Hamad,

Dear President Sethi,

Dear President Said,

Dear President Mohammed,

Mr. Gheit, Secretary General of the League of Arab States, heads of delegations,

Distinguished guests and friends,

　　It gives me great pleasure to attend the opening ceremony of the ministerial meeting of the China-Arab Cooperation Forum. Every time I get together with Arab friends, I feel very cordial. The friendship between the people of China and China and the Arab countries and peoples stems from the friendly exchanges on the ancient Silk Road, from the side-by-side struggle for national liberation, and from the win-win cooperation in the process of national construction.

　　Since the new century, China-Arab relations have continuously reached a new level. In December 2022, I went to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to attend the first China-Arab summit, and my Arab colleagues agreed to build a community of destiny between China and Arab countries facing the new era. China is satisfied with the implementation of the outcome of the first China-Arab summit, and is willing to play a leading role in the summit strategy with Albania and continue to promote the leap-forward development of China-Arab relations. Here, I am pleased to announce that China will hold the second China-Arab Summit in China in 2026, which I believe will be another milestone in China-Arab relations.

　　Distinguished guests and friends!

　　At present, the century-old changes in the world are accelerating, and both China and Arab countries are shouldering the mission of the times to revitalize their respective nationalities and accelerate national construction. Building a community of destiny between China and Arab countries highlights our common desire to open a new era of China-Arab relations and create a better world and a new future.

　　China is willing to help each other with Albania and build China-Arab relations into a benchmark for maintaining world peace and stability. Facing the turbulent world, mutual respect is the way to live in harmony, and fairness and justice are the foundation of lasting security. We are willing to work with Albania to respect the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, the independent choice of people of all countries, the objective reality formed by history, and explore ways to solve hot issues that are conducive to maintaining fairness and justice and achieving long-term stability.

　　China is willing to be equal and mutually beneficial with Albania and build China-Arab relations into a high-quality model for building the "Belt and Road". The spirit of Silk Road has been passed down from generation to generation, leading China-Arab cooperation to keep pace with the times and widely benefiting the people of both sides. In the face of an interdependent world, we are willing to continue to dock development strategies with Albania, constantly build ballast stones for cooperation in oil and gas, trade and infrastructure, accelerate the cultivation of new growth points such as artificial intelligence, investment and financing, and new energy, and jointly take the road of innovation, green and prosperity.

　　China is willing to learn from each other and build China-Arab relations into a model of harmonious coexistence of different civilizations. In the face of a more diverse world, more dialogue, less confrontation, more tolerance and less estrangement. Peace, true knowledge, honesty and tolerance are the common pursuits of the Chinese and Arab peoples. We are willing to promote cultural exchanges with Albania, carry forward the common values of all mankind, and write a new era model of mutual learning and learning among different civilizations.

　　China is willing to work closely with Albania to build China-Arab relations into an example of exploring the correct path of global governance. The fate of mankind has become an inevitable trend, but the deficit of governance, trust, peace and development is increasing, which requires us to uphold the principle of joint construction and sharing and constantly optimize global governance. We are willing to work with Albania to advocate an equal and orderly world multipolarization and inclusive economic globalization, and to create a model for South-South cooperation in global governance.

　　Distinguished guests and friends!

　　During the first China-Arab summit, I proposed "eight common actions" to promote pragmatic cooperation between China and Arab countries. Over the past year or so, thanks to the joint efforts of both sides, China and Arab countries have signed the "One Belt, One Road" cooperation document to achieve full coverage, made new progress in scientific and technological research and development and technology transfer, reached a new level in economic, trade and energy cooperation, promoted the landmark flagship project and the "small but beautiful" project to benefit the people in parallel, deepened cooperation in food security, green innovation, health and other fields, operated the platform for humanities exchanges and cooperation with high quality, and achieved important results in the "Eight Common Actions". In the next stage, China is willing to build "five cooperation patterns" with Albania on this basis, so as to accelerate the construction of a community of destiny between China and Afghanistan.

　　The first is a more dynamic innovation-driven pattern. China will build 10 joint laboratories with Albania in the fields of life and health, artificial intelligence, green and low carbon, modern agriculture and spatial information; We are willing to strengthen cooperation with Afghanistan in the field of artificial intelligence, jointly promote artificial intelligence to empower the real economy and promote the formation of a global artificial intelligence governance system with broad consensus; We are willing to build a joint space debris observation center and Beidou application cooperation and development center with Albania to strengthen cooperation in manned space flight and civil passenger aircraft.

　　The second is a larger investment and financial structure. China is willing to set up an industrial and investment cooperation forum with Albania, continue to promote the expansion of China-Arab Union Bank, and accelerate the implementation of special loans for industrialization in the Middle East and financial cooperation between China and Arab countries. China supports financial institutions of both sides to strengthen cooperation, welcomes Arab countries to issue "panda bonds" in China, welcomes Arab banking institutions to join the RMB cross-border payment and settlement system, and is willing to deepen exchanges and cooperation with Arab central banks in digital currency.

　　The third is a more three-dimensional pattern of energy cooperation. China will further strengthen strategic cooperation with Albania in the oil and gas field to meet supply security and market security; We are willing to jointly develop new energy technology research and development and equipment production with Albania. China will support China energy enterprises and financial institutions to participate in renewable energy projects with a total installed capacity of more than 3 million kilowatts in Arab countries.

　　The fourth is a more balanced pattern of economic and trade reciprocity. China will continue to actively promote the implementation of 3 billion yuan development cooperation projects; We are willing to speed up the negotiation of bilateral and regional free trade agreements with Albania and promote the construction of e-commerce cooperation and dialogue mechanism. China welcomes Albania’s active participation in China International Import Expo and is willing to expand the import of non-energy products, especially agricultural and food products from Albania.

　　Fifth, a broader cultural exchange pattern. China is willing to set up the "China-Arab Center for Global Civilization Initiative" with Albania, expand the scale and influence of the China-Arab Research Center for Reform and Development, and accelerate the construction of platforms such as think tank alliance, youth development forum, university alliance and cultural and tourism cooperation research center. China will invite 200 political party leaders from Albania to visit China every year, and strive to achieve 10 million tourists’ mutual visits with Albania in the next five years.

　　Distinguished guests and friends!

　　The Middle East is a fertile ground for development, but the war in this land is still burning. Since October last year, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has escalated dramatically and the people have suffered greatly. War can no longer continue indefinitely, justice can not be absent forever, and the "two-state solution" can not be shaken at will. China firmly supports the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with full sovereignty based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, Palestine becoming a full member of the United Nations, and the convening of a larger, more authoritative and more effective international peace conference. China will provide another 500 million yuan of emergency humanitarian assistance on the basis of the previous 100 million yuan to support the relief of the humanitarian crisis and post-war reconstruction in Gaza; A donation of $3 million will be made to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East to support the Agency’s emergency humanitarian assistance to Gaza.

　　An Arabic proverb says that friends are the sunshine in life. We will continue to work with Arab friends to carry forward the spirit of China-Arab friendship, unite to create a better future, and make the road to building a community of destiny between China and Arab countries full of sunshine!

　　thank you

　　The daily fee for medium and large pets ranges from 60 to 80 yuan. Foster pet shops are mixed.

　　The National Day is approaching, and many pet owners are facing difficulties. What about the pets kept at home? Nowadays, the demand for holiday pet foster care is in short supply. According to the data provided by Jiangsu Pet Diagnosis and Treatment Industry Association, in 2016, the proportion of pet families in first-and second-tier cities in China has reached 8%. Recently, the reporter visited a number of pet hospitals and pet shops in the urban area and found that pet foster care was very popular during the National Day, and there were no vacancies in many foster care platforms. In terms of price, there are not many businesses that raise prices during the National Day.

　　Text/Guangzhou Daily News All-media reporter Zhan Danqing

　　What should I do if my pet gets sick in foster care?

　　The reporter inquired about a number of pet foster care platforms. Most platforms said that if there was a health condition during foster care, they would take the pet to see a doctor and negotiate with the pet owner. However, most platforms did not give a clear answer to the health problems found after adoption, only that the store pays great attention to hygiene and generally does not have health problems.

　　By the way:

　　Pay attention to sign the foster care agreement

　　Guangdong Pet Association reminds: As the current laws, regulations and industry norms of pet foster care are not complete, consumers should pay attention to signing foster care agreements before fostering, and make them more detailed. The situation of health problems in pet foster care is complex, and the responsibility is difficult to define. Generally, disputes occur and are handled according to the agreement of both parties.

　　Recently, the reporter visited a number of pet hospitals and pet shops in Yuexiu District and found that although there is still more than a week before the National Day, most of the foster care platforms are full, and some pet shops still accept foster care for small pets, and large pets are almost "hard to find".

　　The clerk of a pet department store in Beijing Road told the reporter that the store only accepts foster care for small cats and dogs under 10kg, but at present, all the positions are fully booked during the National Day. The clerk said that there is a great demand for pet foster care during holidays, so it is best to book it one to two months in advance, and it is best to book it three months in advance during the Spring Festival.

　　The reporter learned that most pet platforms that accept cats and dogs provide no more than 20 foster spaces, and most of them remain in single digits. Some shop assistants told reporters that it is more troublesome to take care of large dogs and occupy a large space, so they will not provide too many places.

　　At present, the charging standards for foster pets in the market are all based on the weight of pets. The clerk of a pet shop near R&F Plaza told the reporter that the fees for foster care are divided into four grades according to different weights: small animals, medium-sized animals, medium-sized animals and large animals. One day in 48 yuan with a weight of 4kg or less, one day in 69 yuan with a weight of 4.1kg to 12.5kg, and the fees for each grade will be raised in 10 yuan during holidays.

　　Most pet foster care platforms charge similar fees. However, according to a random survey by reporters, only a few businesses increase their prices during the National Day, and most of them maintain the same prices as usual. Most small pets spend 30 to 50 yuan for a day, while large and medium-sized pets spend 60 to 80 yuan for a day.

　　Foster care problem:

　　Cross-infection becomes the biggest hidden danger

　　Although the emergence of foster care platform has solved the problem of unattended pets on holidays, many pet owners still dare not take their pets to foster care. Miss Liang, who keeps cats, said that cats kept at home are usually timid, and they will be very nervous when they meet outsiders, fearing that they will not adapt to being sent to foster care.

　　A Jing, who has adopted stray cats for many years, said that most cats have hidden heart problems, which will be triggered by some factors the day after tomorrow. It is best not to foster, otherwise cats are prone to stress, causing heart disease and even sudden death in severe cases.

　　However, compared with "inadaptability", more pet owners are most worried about the hygiene of the foster care platform. Miss Zhan, who owns cats, told reporters that there are many animals in pet shops or pet hospitals, and some may bring their own germs. If disinfection and isolation are not done in place, infection is easy to occur. Previously, Miss Zhan’s friend’s cat had gastrointestinal problems and was hospitalized. When she came home, she found that she was infected with tinea felis by other cats in the hospital and was hospitalized again.

　　During the visit, the reporter saw that most pet foster platforms will separate pets with different cages after adopting them, and different kinds of pets will be kept in different rooms. There are also family-style pet foster platforms that directly raise pets together without cages.

　　The reporter learned that before adopting a pet, some platforms will ask the pet owner to provide proof that the pet has been vaccinated before, but some platforms do not need to provide any proof. The clerk of a pet shop in Yangji told the reporter that the clerk has a long experience in raising pets, and he can understand the health status of pets through observation, and there is no need to check and prove before fostering.

　　Huangpu Avenue Xiyi Pet Hospital said that before sending pets to foster care, it is best to do an antibody test in advance to confirm that pets have antibodies in their bodies during foster care, so the probability of infection is small.

　　Regulatory gaps:

　　Foster care disputes occur from time to time.

　　What kind of platform is qualified to undertake foster care? The reporter learned from the Guangdong Pet Protection Association that there are no relevant clear regulations at present.

　　However, the reporter learned that there are already relevant regulations on the qualification of pet foster care in Beijing. Article 43 of the Regulations on Animal Epidemic Prevention in Beijing clearly States that engaging in animal foster care activities should meet the following conditions: having veterinary professional and technical personnel; Having corresponding facilities and equipment for disinfection waste treatment or temporary storage; Having isolated feeding equipment and animal activity space suitable for its service scale; There is a perfect animal epidemic prevention management system.

　　Due to the lack of clear access conditions, there are still gaps in supervision, and pet foster care disputes occur from time to time. According to public reports, in February this year, Ms. Wang sent her dog to foster care for traveling, and adopted it home a week later, only to find that the dog was infected with the virus and died soon. Ms. Wang discussed with the foster care platform. The foster care platform indicated that the dog was healthy during the foster care period and did not assume responsibility. Both sides hold their own words.

　　As an extremely precious epic text in the treasure house of Chinese culture and even the world culture, Gesar has experienced the development process from the folk oral narrative tradition spread on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for thousands of years, to the national folk culture under the national discourse system, and then to the intangible cultural heritage of mankind in the international perspective, which is a great contribution of the Chinese nation to human civilization.

　　Historically, the story of the hero Gesar has been spread among Tibetans, Mongolians, Naxi, Yugur, Tu and other ethnic groups. They localized the story and formed a heroic epic that all ethnic groups highly admire. As a result, "Gesar" originated in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and then spread to all ethnic groups and regions and even to the surrounding areas in cross-border and cross-cultural contexts. It has become a cultural treasure that witnessed the long-term exchanges and exchanges between Tibetans and other ethnic groups, and has also become an important cultural heritage shared by China and countries and regions along the Belt and Road Initiative.

　　Since 1950s, our government has included the collection and arrangement of Gesar in the national cultural protection work sequence, which can be said to give it a "second life". On this basis, since the beginning of this century, the country has vigorously advocated and practiced the concept of intangible cultural heritage protection, which has further protected, inherited and developed Gesar, and opened a new connection and dialogue with the world based on the local conditions.

　　Grand narrative tradition

　　As a masterpiece of folk literature, Gesar is a grand narrative epic created by the Tibetan people and still in live transmission, representing the highest achievement of ancient Tibetan folk culture. It tells the story of King Gelsall, a hero, who devoted himself to saving the living beings, leading the "Lingguo" tribe to subdue demons, restrain the strong and help the weak, and promote people to live in harmony and build a beautiful home. It comprehensively reflects the ancient features of history, society, religion, customs, morality and culture of Tibetans and other ethnic groups, and is an important carrier of local knowledge, ethnic memory, folk wisdom and mother tongue expression.

　　Like other national epics and folk literature works, Gesar has two basic ways of dissemination: first, it is preserved and disseminated by manuscripts and woodcuts; Second, it is passed on by the people, especially the excellent inheritors. The successor of Gesar, the rapper, is called "Zhongken" and "Zhongwow" in Tibetan, which means the storyteller. It is by virtue of the outstanding oral artistic talents of "Zhongken" and "Zhongwa" from generation to generation that Gesar has been passed down for thousands of years in the vast plateau agricultural and pastoral areas, spread widely among the people, and even become a part of their daily lives.

　　When folk artists sing, they often sum up the main content of Gesar in three sentences: "The heaven above sent envoys to earth, and there were various disputes in the middle world, and the hell below completed the karma." It can be seen that the whole epic consists of three parts: heroes descending to earth, surrendering demons and stabilizing the world. Its scale is generally described by more than 1 million lines, more than 20 million words and more than 170 texts in academic circles. It is well-deserved to be one of live transmission’s epics with the longest length and the largest scale in the world, and it can be called the "world epic crown". As far as the system is concerned, in fact, these are only approximate figures, because Gesar is a living epic, and its length and connotation are constantly breaking through with the improvisation of singers. Gesar, as we see it today, is a grand narrative tradition with vast text content, complex discourse structure, diverse genre forms and numerous ways of inheritance, which is spread across nationalities, borders and cultural circles.

　　This "encyclopedic" great epic also witnessed the exchanges and cultural creativity of all ethnic groups in China. It is not only the source of inspiration for the creation of traditional folk art such as Thangka, Tibetan opera and singing, but also the source of modern art such as literature, film and television, dance, music and fine arts, which has greatly promoted the prosperity and development of various literary and artistic forms. In the process of the spread of Gesar, the languages, religious beliefs and values of all ethnic groups have had a profound impact on it. At the same time, it has continuously absorbed the cultures of all ethnic groups and enriched its own content and connotation.

　　Looking back at the beginning of the formation of Gesar, like many folk stories, it seems to be a story born out of history (with history as its theme) and spread among the people in the form of legend. Then, how did this legendary, scaly-clawed folk story develop into a grand narrative work and then become a spectacular narrative tradition?

　　The epic text of Gesar consists of three different genres, namely, historical genre, mythical genre and artistic genre. Among them, historical genre is the basis of epic genre, but in the later oral context, it constantly experienced the process of "de-historicization", and gradually merged into mythical and artistic images, and finally built an "epic building". Most of the other epics in the world originated from real history or took history as the background. Comparing the texts of Gesar in different times, we will find that the early texts are close to the objective reality, although they are legendary; Later texts have a strong mythical color; However, the text produced in recent years has a strong Buddhist color, which has generally gone through three stages: historical experience (original historical narrative), historical myth and then myth art. In China, it is not uncommon for myths to be historicized. As far as Tibetans are concerned, the history before the period of Tubo Songzan Gambo in the 7th century A.D. can be regarded as oral mythical history to some extent. This also shows that only when history is mythologized can it spread fire for the birth of epic.

　　According to the literature, Gesar is a historical figure. He was born in the first half of the 11th century in a tribe called Lingguo on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, that is, the dege county-Ezhi area in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. His real life scene before his death is described in detail in the 14th century’s History of the Lang Family. The map of the Tang Dynasty in the Atlas of Chinese History, edited by Mr. Tan Qixiang, clearly marked the location of "Ling", indicating that the tribe was already famous at that time. Thus, Gesar, as a historical figure with flesh and blood, laid the foundation for the text of Gesar. Subsequently, from the original historical narrative to the mythical narrative, Gesar changed from man to god, and the historical text gradually evolved into an epic text.

　　In this process, many important events in Tibetan history formed intertextual relations with Gesar, which became important materials for molding epic texts. From a macro point of view, the time and space view of the whole epic refers to the historical events, social events, folk traditions, military achievements, etc. of Tibetans moving from a scattered tribal society to a unified Tubo society. With the progress of cross-culture, Gesar borrowed many concepts and terms referring to social and cultural events in Tibetan history. For example, taking "Zong" (the county-level administrative organization in ancient Tibet) as the basic narrative unit, it is often used to describe and divide the units of epic stories with 18 major sects, 18 middle sects, 18 minor sects or 64 minor sects. In addition, it was also integrated into many historical events at that time, including the dispute between Buddhism and benzene, the mutual struggle between Tibetan local forces in the Tubo period and the post-Honghu period, etc. However, this intertextuality uses mythical and artistic methods. Although the mythical text has not yet reached the level of a masterpiece, the story model and basic structure have been formed, and there have been chapters such as Birth, Horse Racing as King, Huoling War, Jiangling War, Menling and Moling. In this regard, scholar Yang Yi put forward: "In a long period of time, due to the nurturing of various cultural factors and the genius creation of the artist’s mind and soul, (Gesar) has been sprouted from a limited number of original works, full of vitality, expanded into a department, and was born outside the department. Only by subduing the evil part, it has derived 18 large pieces and 18 small pieces, and absorbed the rich wisdom of the nation.Finally, it is more than 100 in length. "

　　Gesar learned from and absorbed Buddhist culture in the early stage of its gestation and birth, and was able to turn a chrysalis into a butterfly, with a gorgeous turn from a fairy tale to a grand narrative. Although the Buddhist thought was gradually strengthened in the later Gesar text, its artistic essence never changed. Buddhism, as an artistic means, has created the evolution process of Gesar from perceptual to rational, from the experience level to the concept level, which has played an important role in the leap from myth to art and provided a philosophical basis for the transition from metaphor to symbol level. No matter in the stage of historical myth or mythological art, the evolution of Gesar’s text takes artistic imagination as the starting point and poetic thinking as the logical origin of epic narration, which promotes the formation of the core values and concepts recognized by all ethnic groups in China, such as the feelings of home and country, the way to help the world, equality, freedom and justice.

　　It is precisely because of its lofty characteristics and grand thoughts that the epic Gesar can spread and develop across regions, nationalities, borders and cultures. In the 11th and 12th centuries, after the formation of the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with the Three Rivers as the core, Gesar continued to radiate outward, forming a "core area" and a "radiation area" at the regional and geographical levels, as well as a huge epic spread belt across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Mongolian Plateau and the Pamirs, which became an important part of the multi-ethnic cultural circle in the Himalayas. With the footsteps of pilgrims and business travelers on the ancient tea-horse road, with the forgetfulness of rappers, especially with the continuous expansion and deepening of exchanges and exchanges between various ethnic groups, Gesar has gradually spread to more and further places from the junction of Tibet, Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu and other provinces and regions in China.

　　Nowadays, Gesar is widely spread and influential among Tibetan, Mongolian, Tu, Yugu, Dongxiang, Sala, Naxi, Qiang, Menba, Luoba, Pumi, Bai, Dulong and Lisu in seven provinces and regions. In addition, Nepal, Bhutan, India, Pakistan, Mongolia, Russia and other countries and regions have also spread. In other words, it has formed an international circulation belt along the "Belt and Road", becoming a beautiful landscape in the history of world cultural exchange and epic territory, and an important witness to the exchange and mutual learning of human civilization and cultural creativity.

　　People’s Daily Online, Beijing, December 2 (Reporter Qiao Yeqiong) The National Health and Wellness Commission held a press conference today to introduce the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases in winter and answer questions from reporters.

　　At the meeting, a reporter asked that vaccines played a key role in the prevention and control of influenza. At present, influenza has entered the high season. Is it too late to vaccinate now?

　　Wang Dayan, director of the National Influenza Center of the Institute of Virology, China CDC, said that influenza, COVID-19 and pneumococcal infection all have corresponding types of vaccines. Influenza vaccines have been used all over the world and in China for decades. Scientific research and vaccination practice have fully proved that influenza vaccines are safe, effective and mature. Influenza vaccination can effectively reduce infection, even if it is infected, it can also reduce the incidence, and even if it is infected, it can also reduce the severity of the disease.

　　"At present, it is the high season of influenza. It is still effective to vaccinate people who have not been vaccinated with influenza before. It is recommended that you get the flu vaccine as soon as possible." In particular, Wang Dayan pointed out that people over 6 months can be vaccinated with influenza, especially for high-risk people such as children, the elderly and patients with chronic diseases. After being infected with influenza, the risk of severe illness is higher. Vaccination with influenza can effectively reduce the risk of developing into severe illness and death. I hope everyone will actively vaccinate.

　　Wang Dayan said that practice at home and abroad has proved that the use of vaccines is one of the most economical and effective preventive measures, and vaccines are safe. As long as they are vaccinated in professional institutions as required, they can have good results, especially for the elderly and children, and they should actively vaccinate against influenza to ensure a normal pace of life and study.

　　In the Summer Palace in spring, while most tourists are intoxicated by the birds and flowers, some people are indifferent to the beautiful scenery around them. There is a lake on the northwest side of Yudai Bridge. At two o’clock in the afternoon, a man dressed in white paced back and forth by the lake, staring at the lake, as if looking for something. After a while, he found the "target" and took out a slingshot from his pocket and fired it into the water, but it missed. It turned out that he was fishing with a slingshot.

　　In 20 minutes, the man walked half a circle along the shore of the lake, during which he tried several slingshots to shoot, but nothing was gained. On the way, the man also met a colleague, and the two exchanged experiences in fishing and fishing. During the whole process, there were no park security personnel passing by.

　　In fact, this is not because security personnel are lazy. While the man in white was fishing, Lao Zhang, the inspector in charge of this area, was discouraging fishing tourists by another lake. Since the inspection in the morning, Lao Zhang has discouraged five or six illegal fishing behaviors.

　　On the spot when discouraged, most fishermen would put away their fishing rods to show that they would leave, but in a short time, Lao Zhang found that they had changed places and caught fish again. "It’s not bad that you can change places, and some people don’t leave at all, and their attitude is still very poor."

　　Lao Zhang said that he had just heard about the news that the municipal parks would establish a "blacklist for visiting gardens". In his view, if this system can really be implemented, it is undoubtedly a good thing for frontline inspectors. "In fact, there are only a few fishermen. Every day, I know several of them."

　　In Article 56 of the Regulations of Beijing Parks, there is a clear penalty for "fishing in non-fishing areas", which is "a fine from 20 yuan to 50 yuan". However, in the actual operation process, because the park inspectors do not have the power to enforce the law, Lao Zhang can only try to "dissuade and persuade" offenders. This lack of management has also led to the offenders’ repeated education. In Lao Zhang’s view, if the fine is difficult to achieve, at least relevant regulations should be formulated so that inspectors can temporarily detain the illegal fishing tools. "Not only slingshots, but also harpoons, which are also dangerous to people."

　　In the Summer Palace, in addition to illegal anglers, a group of wild swimmers also give managers a headache. At 3: 30 in the afternoon, beside the fence of Tuancheng Lake in the Summer Palace, water inspector Xiao Ma is sitting on the shore on duty. Although no wild swimmers were found today, Pony said that wild swimmers would come every three to five.

　　Tuancheng Lake is an important part of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project. There is a fence more than two meters high by the lake, and the gap is not enough for people to pass through. How do wild swimmers get into the lake? Pony said that wild swimmers often bring their own ladder tools, and two boards are fixed with a nail. When they are put on the fence, people can step over it. What makes Pony even more helpless is that in the process of dissuasion, wild swimmers often fight back with excuses such as "I used to swim here" and have no intention of repentance. Because of the same lack of law enforcement power, Pony can’t punish the wild swimmer except to stop it in time. "He will come again in a few days, so I can only persuade him again."

　　Three children climbed the stone elephant in two minutes and discouraged tourists from feeding it 955 times in two days.

　　Compared with weekends, there are not many tourists in the Beijing Zoo on weekdays, but the Lion Tiger Mountain is still lively. It’s almost four o’clock in the afternoon, and the lions and tigers in the museum are munching on the fresh meat sent by the breeder. Visitors are watching with great interest outside the glass window.

　　Suddenly, a dazzling flash lit up the glass window, and the tiger, who had been burying his head in meat, raised his head warily. The middle-aged female tourist holding the tablet to take pictures hurriedly pressed it twice, and the tiger’s eyes were reflected white on the screen. "Don’t use the flash!" Next to her, another young female tourist couldn’t help but remind her. On the glass window, there is a warning slogan "Do not use the flash".

　　"I can see clearly in the station." In the crowd, a little girl was carried into the windowsill in the armrest by an adult, and her hands pressed against the glass to feel the close contact with the tiger. On the other side, a child less than two years old was also held on the windowsill, and the young father knocked on the glass from time to time, trying to attract the lion’s attention. In front of him, the warning slogan "Don’t knock on the glass" became an embarrassing display.

　　Outside the elephant hall, the lifelike elephant stone carving also attracted many tourists to stop and remember. A little girl with pigtails came running excitedly. With the help of the old man, she quickly climbed onto the stone carving, holding the rolled elephant nose in both hands, holding the elephant’s ears in her legs and smiling at her mother who took pictures with her mobile phone not far away. The little girl who was still wanting more pointed to another elephant stone carving lying on the ground, and stood up on the elephant’s back with vigorous skill. Perhaps because it is relatively low and easy to climb, this stone carving is particularly popular. In just two minutes, three children climbed it.

　　"It seems that climbing is not allowed here." A little girl in red pointed to the "Don’t climb" sign on the ground and whispered, but most tourists obviously didn’t notice it.

　　In fact, what worries zoo staff is the feeding of tourists. At the ticket offices and tourist service centers on both sides of the gate, eye-catching signs of "start with me and care for animals, please don’t feed them" are hung. As soon as I entered the door, on the exhibition board with the theme of "Caring for animals, please don’t feed them", there were cartoons of giant pandas, monkeys and other animals being sent to the hospital after eating and feeding food. Walking in the park, you can see the message "Do not feed animals" everywhere. Next to the African Animal Area, it is also specially explained that carrots, apples and other foods will be fed quantitatively every day, and excessive intake of animals will affect health, while foods such as ice cream and candy cannot be decomposed by microorganisms in the digestive tract of zebras, which will lead to indigestion.

　　Even so, the situation of feeding is still repeated. According to the official website of Beijing Zoo, since the launch of the Volunteer Service Dedication Month with the theme of "Civilized Garden, I’m in Action" on March 25th, party member, league members and workers’ unions of all the party branches in the park have been wearing volunteer clothes and conducting dissuasion and inspection at the key feeding points of zebra, deer park, alpaca, monkey mountain, Woong San and waterfowl lake every weekend during the peak garden hours. On March 25th and 26th alone, tourists were discouraged from feeding for 955 times.

　　Relevant laws are seriously lagging behind and need to be revised urgently.

　　“‘ Park blacklist ’ The original intention of the system is good. I hope to guide civilized gardens in this way. There have been similar practices before. " Liu Simin, director of the Tourism Research Institute of the Cultural and Creative Industry Research Center of Beijing Foreign Studies University, said that in May 2016, the former National Tourism Administration revised and formed the Interim Measures of the National Tourism Administration on the Management of Uncivilized Behavior Records of Tourists based on the previously issued Interim Measures of the National Tourism Administration. In September of the same year, the Interim Measures for the Administration of Records of Uncivilized Tourism Behavior in Beijing came into effect and was regarded as a local version of the "blacklist" system for tourism.

　　Once on the "blacklist", the names, genders, places of origin and other information of the parties involved in uncivilized behavior will be published at the same time on the websites of Beijing Tourism Industry Credit Information Network, Credit Beijing, and the special page "Exposure Desk" of Capital Civilization Network according to the information retention period, and reported to the National Tourism Administration. In addition, depending on the circumstances, it is necessary to inform the tourism industry associations, travel agencies, A-level scenic spots and star-rated hotels through the internal information platform, and "uncivilized tourists" will face joint disciplinary measures.

　　"In the specific implementation, there are still many details that need attention." Liu Simin pointed out, "For example ‘ Many times ’ How to define and which behaviors count ‘ Bad ’ , there must be clear standards, if ‘ Blacklist ’ Just as an exposure list, it has limited binding force on tourists, but if it is to be linked to the credit information system and take certain restrictive measures to truly exert its effectiveness, it is necessary to seek legal support. "

　　In Liu Simin’s view, many existing relevant laws were formulated before the arrival of the mass tourism era, and there is a serious lag. The Tourism Law should be modified adaptively, or relevant implementation rules should be formulated to make the management of uncivilized behavior have laws to follow. "Compared with the introduction of rules and regulations by the administrative department, legal perfection is more conducive to improving the degree of rigor and standardization, ensuring operability, and forming a normalization mechanism."

　　In addition, Liu Simin also talked about strengthening education and guidance. "Civilized tourism itself cannot be achieved overnight, and it takes a long time to accumulate. In recent years, our garden order has made great progress, but there are still some people who are lagging behind. It is necessary to incorporate the content of civilized tourism into family, school and social education, and at the same time increase publicity to improve the quality of the whole people.

"It’s gone up again!" The price of pure gold jewelry has been soaring, and now it is approaching the 720 yuan/gram mark, and its fierce rise has made many consumers call it "incomprehensible". Gold, which is rising by one price a day, is "persuading" consumers.

On April 6th, the topic "Big hoarders are busy realizing gold" rushed to Weibo for hot search, which aroused widespread concern.

One price one day

Large hoarders of gold have realized in succession.

International gold prices soared again on Friday, with spot gold prices rising 1.5% to $2,324.15 per ounce, hitting a record high of $2,330.06 in intraday trading.

Although the data released on the same day showed that the non-farm employment growth in the United States was strong in March, which further cooled the market’s bet on the probability of the Fed’s interest rate cut in June, the price of gold obviously did not suffer too much negative impact. After a short correction, it rose all the way, and it stood at the $2,300 mark for the first time in history.

In the past 10 days, the price of gold has risen in 9 days, and it has risen in 6 weeks in the past 7 weeks.

Gold prices have soared in the international market, and domestic basic gold prices have also reached a high level. The retail price of many domestic brands of gold jewelry is also close to 720 yuan per gram.

On April 7th, the retail listing price of gold jewelry in Zhou Shengsheng has soared to 719 yuan/gram, while Chow Tai Fook and Chaohongji were 718 yuan/gram and 718 yuan/gram respectively, both of which increased by 15 yuan compared with 703 yuan/gram on the 3rd.

According to CCTV financial report, many gold jewelry wholesalers have gathered in Zhaoyuan, Shandong recently. In terminal stores, buyers are particularly cautious about buying gold jewelry. In terms of choosing styles, buyers have changed their choice from traditional crafts to fashionable jewelry with national tide culture as the element. In some offline gold jewelry stores, enameled gold jewelry with exquisite craftsmanship and colorful colors has also won the favor of consumers.

With the rising price of gold, the repurchase of offline large quantities of gold raw materials has become the "highlight", and many "big hoarders" have chosen to sell at the high price of gold. While the online repurchase of gold raw materials is hot, many gold shops have also opened online repurchase models.

The person in charge of an online gold repurchase business said, "We allow consumers to realize the rapid realization of gold by means of subsidizing the issuance of coupons, free mailing, and preferential handling fees, among which the maximum online gold recovery in a single day reached more than 3,000 grams."

According to the first financial report, consumers’ enthusiasm for buying gold has declined recently. During the Qingming small holiday, the brand gold shops in several shopping malls in Shanghai only had customers in twos and threes, and some gold ornaments counters were also empty. After the inquiry, only a few consumers who were looking at accessories in the store said that the price was too high, "It’s too boring to buy now."

The "buying gold fever" continued, and some bank gold bars were out of stock. According to Red Star News, on April 4th, the staff of Chunxi Road Pedestrian Street Sub-branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China said that the shortage of gold bars had been going on for about a month, and now it was necessary to make an appointment to buy them.

Gold recycling enthusiasm is high.

Investment should not blindly follow suit

Gold investment has always been regarded as a relatively stable way of wealth appreciation. The huge fluctuation of the price of gold has also led to a rise in the volume and price of gold recovery. According to Chengdu Daily, a gold shop clerk said that after this round of price increase, the consulting volume and recycling volume increased significantly, and many investors hoped to cash in when the price of gold rose.

However, compared with the soaring price of gold ornaments, the price difference of gold recycling is large. Take Chow Tai Fook as an example. At present, the gold recovery price is 524 yuan/gram, which is 194 yuan per gram compared with the price of 718 yuan/gram. Even according to the discounted price, there is a price difference of 145 yuan per gram. If a customer buys a 50-gram bracelet and chooses to sell it, it will lose more than 7000 yuan.

According to industry insiders, for ordinary consumers, gold jewelry consumption and gold investment are completely different.

Investors should first understand the price of gold. Generally speaking, the listed gold price of a gold shop can be divided into jewelry gold, investment gold and recovery gold. Different brands have different gram prices of jewelry gold, but jewelry gold is often the highest gram price. The price of investment gold bars is relatively low. If you want to invest in gold, you need to have basic relevant knowledge and fully understand the precious metal market before you can enter the market.

Therefore, although gold consumption is hot, it is not advisable to blindly hoard goods and follow the trend of "buying gold".

For the market outlook, the China Gold Association said that the resilience of gold prices reflects to some extent investors’ expectations that the Fed will eventually cut interest rates this year. In addition, the increasing geopolitical uncertainty has also enhanced the attractiveness of gold as a safe-haven asset. Finally, the steady buying of gold by global official departments so far this year has provided solid support for the reserve price of gold. "After entering the second half of 2024, once the Fed starts to cut interest rates and releases the signal that it will further accelerate the pace of monetary easing in 2025, the price of gold is expected to regain its upward trend." China Gold Association said.
