Olympic observation China women’s volleyball team aims to defend its title. ＂We have waited for five years, and we are ready!＂

2024年2月25日 | admin | aljs

Volleyball officially became an Olympic event at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 1964. China women’s volleyball team won gold medals at the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984, the Athens Olympic Games in 2004 and the Rio Olympic Games in 2016. It is the only Olympic champion team in China’s "three big balls" event. The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games is about to open. As the defending champion, head coach Lang Ping will lead China women’s volleyball team to attack the Olympic champion again!

Lineup: Lang Ping hopes that these 12 people are the best choice.

The 12 players of China women’s volleyball team in Tokyo Olympic Games are: Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning, Li Yingying and Liu Xiaotong as main attackers, Yuan Xinyue, Yan Ni and Wang Yuanyuan as auxiliary attackers, Ding Xia and Yao Di as second setters, Gong Xiangyu, Liu Yanhan and Wang Mengjie as free men.

Among them, the oldest is Yan Ni, 34, and the youngest is Li Yingying, 21, born after 00. Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning, Liu Xiaotong, Yuan Xinyue, Yan Ni, Ding Xia and Gong Xiangyu are the champions of Rio Olympic Games, while Li Yingying, Wang Yuanyuan, Yao Di, Liu Yanhan and Wang Mengjie participated in the Olympic Games for the first time. Judging from the list, all the main core players in the women’s queue are selected, but in the selection of the substitute lineup, Lang Ping is still stable.

Regarding the formation of the list of 12 players, Lang Ping said: "This list has been brewing for a long time, and the whole coaching team is discussing what kind of suitable and complementary lineup should be used to appear in the Tokyo Olympic Games. I also hope that this list is our best choice, and I hope that these 12 athletes can represent all the athletes participating in the training and play their best level. "

Prepare for war: encourage each other to survive the hardest days.

In the 2019 Women’s Volleyball World Cup, Lang Ping led the team to successfully defend its title with an unbeaten record of 11 consecutive victories. This is the tenth championship won by China women’s volleyball team in the three world competitions (Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cup), and it also laid a solid foundation for the upcoming Olympic defending tour.

However, due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the Tokyo Olympic Games was forced to postpone, the FIVB also suspended all international competitions, and the China women’s volleyball team conducted training for seven months without an international competition. "In the most difficult days, we were completely enclosed, relying on each other’s support and companionship." Lang Ping said with emotion, "Thank you for your persistence and hard work. In the days when there was no competition at all and only boring training was left, we still encouraged each other and practiced every day as much as possible, helping our team gain valuable experience in a special period."

In May this year, the volleyball test match of Tokyo Olympic Games was restarted. As the only invited team, China women’s volleyball team played a test match with Japanese women’s volleyball team in Youming Gymnasium, the venue of Tokyo Olympic Games. In the end, China beat its opponent 3-0. This test match is of great value to China women’s volleyball team, which not only adapts to the Olympic venue in advance, but also makes the players who have not participated in international competitions for more than a year find their feelings on the field.

At the end of May, the 2021 World Women’s Volleyball League was held in Rimini, Italy in the form of "safety bubble". China women’s volleyball team sent a substitute team to participate in the first stage of the competition. Although the team only achieved 4 wins and 5 losses, more substitute players got the opportunity to play, which also made the coaching staff have a greater grasp of the choice of the Olympic list. After 9 matches, the six main players of China women’s volleyball team returned to the team. In the following 6 matches, the China team won a total victory even against Italian, Russian and American teams. Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue, Gong Xiangyu, Ding Xia and other main players are in a stable state, which also makes fans have more expectations for the upcoming Olympic journey of China women’s volleyball team.

Playing: After waiting for five years, we are ready.

According to the rules, the 12 women’s volleyball teams participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games were divided into two groups, with 6 teams in each group playing 5 round robin matches. The top four teams in the group entered the quarterfinals, and finally decided the champion by eliminating the competition system.

In the latest world ranking of women’s volleyball, the United States tops the list, followed by China and Brazil. The fourth to tenth places are Turkey, Japan, Dominica, Russia, Netherlands, Italy and Belgium. At the Tokyo Olympics, China was in Group B with the United States, Russia, Italy, Argentina and Turkey.

On July 25th, China will make its debut at the Tokyo Olympic Games, against the Turkish team. As a European team with rapid rising momentum in recent years, the Turkish team has considerable strength. At the World Women’s Volleyball League which ended last month, China sent a substitute team to play and lost 3-0 to the Turkish team. At the Tokyo Olympic Games, it was not a big problem for the China team to get off to a good start.

On June 20th, 2021, in the preliminaries of the 2021 World Women’s Volleyball League held in Rimini, Italy, China beat the United States 3-0. The picture shows China player Yan Ni (first from left) blocking the ball in the game. Xinhua news agency

For China, the first real test of this Olympic Games is the game against the United States on July 27th. Since the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China women’s volleyball team has lost to its opponents in three consecutive Olympic Games. This American team in Tokyo Olympic Games has many excellent players, such as Larson, Bucky, Robinson, Akinradewo and Poulter, and its strength is good. This year’s World Women’s Volleyball League,The United States defeated Brazil 3-1 in the final to win three consecutive championships. Although it lost 3-0 to China in the last game of the preliminary round, the United States, which won 14 consecutive victories at that time, had ensured the qualification, so it did not send its main force to play. In the group competition of Tokyo Olympic Games, it was China who defeated the American team.teamThe first important goal.

China will play Russian, Italian and Argentine teams in the next three group matches. In recent years, the main players of the Italian women’s volleyball team have gradually matured, especially Egnu, who has strong strength, strong explosive force and extremely lethal re-buckle. How to restrain Egnu’s play is a problem that China women’s volleyball team must solve. Russia sent a number of young players to the Olympic Games this time. The absence of famous players such as Kosheleva, Parubetz and Romanova greatly reduced the strength of the team. In the last two games of the group stage, it was believed that China women’s volleyball team would achieve satisfactory results against Russia and Argentina, which ranked 16th in the world.

In addition to the opponents in the group stage, Serbian women’s volleyball team may pose a threat to China women’s volleyball team in the knockout stage. In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, China women’s volleyball team defeated its opponent in the final, and reached the Olympic champion podium after a lapse of 12 years. During the Tokyo Olympic cycle, the main lineup of Serbian team has not changed much. Boskovich, Ogennovic, mikhailovich, Lasic and S Popovich will all play in the Tokyo Olympic Games. At the same time, Kosic, lazovic and Caric, who have performed well in this year’s World Women’s Volleyball League, have also been successfully selected. As the champion of the 2018 World Championships, Serbian women’s volleyball team will be one of the strong opponents of China women’s volleyball team.

On July 19th, China women’s volleyball team successfully arrived in Tokyo. "I am very excited to come to Tokyo this time. We are ready, because we have waited for five years, and the time is quite long. Finally, we have the opportunity to embark on the journey of the Olympic Games, and the team is in good shape. Our goal is to attack medals and fight one by one. The Olympic Games is different from the usual leagues. Every game is very difficult. We will go all out and hope to play the best level and win glory for our country. " As Lang Ping said, the defending champion China women’s volleyball team is ready!

It is difficult for residents in Daxing, Beijing to go to work： four modes of travel are inconvenient, and residents call for this kind of car.

2024年2月25日 | admin | gzxq

In 2016, Mr. Zhang lived in Mantingchun Community, Caiyu Town, Daxing. Since then, he has to take the government commuter bus to work in the city every day, with a one-way distance of about 45 kilometers. In recent years, with the development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration, the permanent population of Caiyu Town has soared, and the travel needs of residents have seriously exceeded the carrying capacity of commuter cars.

There is a long queue at the starting station of picking and breeding in the city.

None of the four modes of travel is convenient.

The commuter car in Mr. Zhang’s mouth was opened by the Caiyu Town Government around 2014. Commuters use regular long-distance buses, and each bus is limited to 55 passengers. Every morning from 6: 00 to 8: 30, there are 10 buses from Caiyu Central Primary School to the city, passing through the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, and directly reaching the vicinity of Shilihe subway station. According to Mr. Zhang, if there are no unexpected situations such as traffic jams, this journey only takes 40 minutes.

But in fact, the capacity of commuter bus in the morning is far from meeting the needs of residents in Caiyu Town. According to Mr. Zhang’s statistics, at present, the number of people who commute to work in Caiyu Town every day is about 2,000, but ten shuttle buses can only transport 550 people. Getting on the government shuttle bus on time every day has become the greatest wish of the breeder every day.

At the Caiyu Central Primary School at the bus departure station, Mr. Zhang told the reporter: "In order to get on the bus at 7: 00 in the morning, I started waiting for the bus half an hour in advance, but the queue number has exceeded 100." Mr. Zhang said while showing photos to reporters.

When the reporter visited the site, he found that although the commuter bus has several stations in Caiyu Town, each station radiates to crowded areas such as schools and communities, most people will choose to queue up at the departure station. If the commuter bus is full at the starting station, it is even more difficult to get on the bus from the next few stations. "Now, not only Caiyu Town, but also people in other areas are convenient. Driving to the starting station in the morning to grab a car with us will make our pressure even greater."

Many people queue up hopelessly, give up commuting cars and look for carpooling opportunities.

Mr. Ma, who works in the West Fourth Ring Road, has the same feeling. In order to catch the government bus on time every day, he usually arrives at the bus departure station before 7 o’clock. Even so, it takes an hour to get on the bus. Mr. Ma used to drive himself to work, but the fuel consumption cost of going back and forth for more than 70 kilometers a day was too high. "If you can’t sit at the starting station of the shuttle bus after 7: 30, you can only choose to carpool or take a black car to the city." The reporter learned that carpooling is very common in picking and breeding. There are five carpooling groups in Mr. Ma’s WeChat, each with 500 people. "Even carpooling is very difficult, and people are full as soon as the car stops at the roadside."

If you can’t catch up with the bus and carpooling, and the cost of driving to work is too high, then there is only one last way to go to work from Caiyu: customized buses such as "catching the bus". Mr. Zhang remembers that he took the "catching the bus" to work, and the bus was stopped by the traffic police twice on the way.

Always ask when you see the bus coming.

In addition to the morning rush hour, the evening rush hour is not easy. At the rush hour last weekend, the reporter went to the starting station of Jinsong to check the situation. Compared with a few years ago, there was still no sign on the commuter car for picking and breeding on the path in front of the Fulton apartment. Passengers routinely lined up here, and the team was very messy. And some unidentified buses are also attracting customers.

At about 6 pm, the number of people waiting in line exceeded 60. Many people can tell from the length of the queue whether they can get on the next bus. The passengers showed the reporter a departure schedule. The departure interval ranged from 15 minutes to half an hour, but it happened that the departure interval was widened during the rush hour. For example, after 6: 50 pm, the next departure time was 7: 30 pm, with an interval of 40 minutes.

Worried about the long interval between commuter trains, there are alternatives, but they are not formal. In the queue of carpooling, some people are handing out leaflets and enthusiastically introducing other modes of riding. The reporter saw at the scene that some irregular buses would appear in people’s sight from time to time. In the passenger’s words, as long as it is a bus to collect and cultivate, everyone wants to take it, and the fare of some cars is lower than that of the government commuter bus.

According to the driver of the government commuter bus, the commuter bus has been in a state of "losing money". They also know that passengers have a desire to add a car, but it is difficult at present, because there is no commuter car parking lot near Jinsong, and it is impossible to start in the opposite direction. As for whether the departure time can be adjusted, "it needs to be decided by Caiyu Town".

Residents look forward to commuting by bus.

The starting station returning from the urban area to collect and cultivate is overcrowded.

The reporter learned that there are three bus lines passing through Caiyu Town, but the set route is not convenient for office workers. The first is Xing 32, which passes through Yizhuang subway station, which is convenient for Caiyu residents to transfer to the subway process. However, it takes about 2 hours to get from Caiyu to Yizhuang, followed by 940, which starts from Caiyu all the way west, passes through Daxing Huangcun subway station, and finally passes through Jiugong subway station. Although both trains pass through the subway, they do not take the high speed. For passengers, it takes time to take the bus.

Many residents told reporters that the permanent population of Caiyu Town has surged in the past two years, but the number of commuter buses has never increased, and other modes of travel are inconvenient, so the problem of difficult travel needs to be solved urgently.

The reporter was informed that as early as 2016, it was reported that the government’s commuter bus was going to be reformed, which means that the commuter bus can not only run all day, but also the departure interval is greatly shortened, which is undoubtedly good news. However, in response to a reporter recently, the Caiyu Town Government said that the related issues of commuting bus are still in the discussion stage. Although residents often ask about this matter, the specific time is still uncertain.

Prospect of volleyball in Hangzhou Asian Games： China men’s and women’s volleyball teams don’t do ＂multiple choice＂ in the face of ＂devil’s schedule＂

2024年2月22日 | admin | xwxq

Xinhua News Agency, Hangzhou, September 18th (Reporter Lu Xingji): The men’s and women’s volleyball competitions of the upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou are closely related to the Olympic qualifiers. Some Asian teams who will take part in these two events at the same time have made choices and trade-offs, but the host team, China, is obviously prepared to answer these two "big questions" at the same time.

On September 17th, China players took a group photo after the game. On the same day, China beat Mexico 3-0 in Group A of the Women’s Volleyball Qualifier for the Paris Olympic Games in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhang Tao photo

The Asian Games in Hangzhou will open on September 23rd, and the men’s volleyball competition will take the lead from September 19th to September 26th. One of the reasons for this arrangement is that the men’s volleyball qualifying tournament for the Paris Olympic Games will start on September 30th. After the Asian Games, China, Iranian and Japanese teams will participate in this event immediately.

As for women’s volleyball team, China, Japanese, Korean and Thai teams are currently participating in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament, and the competition in Group A where China is located will not end until September 24th. From September 30th, the Asian Games will start again, and the connection is not tight.

Due to the rhythm of the adjustment of competitive state, many Asian teams have reservations about the lineup of the Asian Games. Take the Japanese women’s volleyball team as an example, there are five players in the Asian Games lineup who are also on the Olympic qualifying list, but they are mainly second-tier players and have not undertaken heavy competition tasks at present. However, this Japanese women’s volleyball team participating in the Asian Games has many players who have been playing in the international arena for many years, such as Haruki Shimamura and Youjia Muhei. Their experience and competitive level have certain strength, and they are likely to be China’s main rivals for the championship.

In terms of men’s volleyball, similar to women’s volleyball, the Japanese men’s volleyball team did not send the main lineup to participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games, but started a group of players who were in the second line and experienced in international competitions, such as Xishan Daxiang and Gaoli Jiantai. Even so, this Japanese men’s volleyball team is quite competitive among Asian teams.

However, the Iranian men’s volleyball team, which won the titles of the Incheon Asian Games in 2014 and the Jakarta Asian Games in 2018, is the main force this time, aiming to win three consecutive Asian Games titles in one fell swoop.

According to the list of men’s and women’s volleyball teams participating in the Asian Games released by the China Volleyball Association, there is little difference between China’s Asian Games staffing and the lineup participating in the Olympic qualifiers. It can be said that China, as the host, is ready for continuous operations.

In women’s volleyball, China sent four main players: Li Yingying, Wang Yun Peng, Zhong Hui and Wu Mengjie. Three deputy attackers: Yuan Xinyue, Wang Yuanyuan and Gao Yi. Two responders: Gong Xiangyu and Zheng Yixin. Two setters: Diao Linyu and Ding Xia. A free man: Wang Mengjie.

The above lineup is the essence of China Women’s Volleyball Team at present. Compared with the Olympic qualifiers, only one assistant attacker and one free man are reduced. At present, the main players in all positions in this lineup are first-class or even super-class in Asia. For the use of this lineup, head coach Cai Bin is also more handy. In this year’s World Women’s Volleyball League, he led the team to win the runner-up.

At the Asian Games, the China team is likely to have a new point of view in the main attack position. Will Cai Bin use the newcomer Wu Mengjie more in the case of continuous fighting? How will she use the opportunity of this contest to prove herself? Will be a big suspense.

At the Asian Games, China’s elite women’s volleyball team did its best, and the strength of its main rival’s lineup was slightly weak. From the momentum, China team will definitely strive for the championship. But at present, the only and biggest uncertainty is how the players can recover their physical strength and adjust their state in the short gap between the Olympic qualifiers and the Asian Games. This also tests the wisdom of head coach Cai Bin.

"Now is not the time to talk about the Asian Games. At present, all our attention is focused on the Olympic qualifiers, and we must play well one venue at a time." This is Cai Bin’s response to how to adjust the team’s state to cope with the Asian Games.

In men’s volleyball, China sent Zhang Jingyin, Yu Yuantai, Wang Bin, Dai Qingyao, Li Yongzhen, Peng Shikun, Wang Dongchen, Jiang Chuan, Zhang Guanhua, Yu Yaochen, Wang Hebin and Qu Zongshuai. This is also the essence of China Men’s Volleyball Team at present.

On July 9th, China players celebrated the score in the game. On the same day, China lost to the Canadian team 1-3 in the 2023 World Men’s Volleyball League in Pasay, Philippines. Xinhua News Agency (photo by Umali)

China is in the same group as Kyrgyzstan and Kazakstan in the group stage. According to the current strength of China men’s volleyball team and the lineup of other teams, China team is expected to face a certain impact after entering the knockout stage, and must go all out to stand on the stage of semi-finals and even finals.

The Asian Games is only the beginning of China men’s volleyball team’s high-intensity challenge in the near future. How will this team adjust its status and go to Xi ‘an for the men’s volleyball qualifying round of the Paris Olympic Games without stopping? Let’s wait and see!

2024年2月19日 | admin | aljs

Qilu. com Lightning News December 12 thChina Jiangxi Shangrao Yushan The 6th CBSA Chinese Billiards World Championship ended the first stage of the competition last night. Zheng Yubo and Chen Siming, the last champions, advanced to the second stage, while three former world champions, including Shi Hanqing, Dove and Han Yu, Zheng Xiaohuai, Zhang Taiyi and Kong Dejing, as well as james wattana, the "king of Thailand" who played across the border, were eliminated.

As the Chinese billiards tournament with the highest total prize in the world, the 6th CBSA Chinese billiards World Championship attracted 496 players from 41 countries and regions to participate in Yushan, including 128 men’s competitions and 32 women’s competitions.

The World Championship is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the domestic men’s team, the international men’s team, the domestic women’s team and the international women’s team were defeated, resulting in the top 32 men’s teams and the top 16 women’s teams.

The competition in the domestic men’s team is fierce. Zheng Yubo, who aims to win three consecutive World Championships, john young, the champion in 2017, Chu Bingjie, Zhang Jianpeng, Dai Yong, Yu Haitao and other famous players have lost in succession, but they all narrowly missed the top 32. Shi Hanqing, winner of the 2016 tournament, Zheng Xiaohuai, winner of this year’s International Open, Kong Dejing, winner of the International Classic, and Zhang Taiyi, runner-up of the International Grand Prix, were eliminated in poor condition. Zhao Ruliang, the last runner-up, and Cui Mingjun, a teenager born after 00, won three games in a row and qualified.

Wattana, the "king of Thailand", only won one game in three games, so it’s a pity to bid farewell to this tournament.

In the domestic women’s team, all four former champions made their debut, and Chen Siming won two games in a row. In 2017, Fu Xiaofang, the champion of the tournament, broke through successfully, and Dove and Han Yu were both defeated.

In the international women’s group, Thailand’s famous snooker player Varatanu Sukri Tanes won the competition, and Indian 15-year-old Natasha Chetan advanced to the second stage with outstanding performance, becoming a dark horse in this competition.

On December 12th, the 6th CBSA Chinese Billiards World Championship started the second stage of the race, and the competition entered a more brutal single defeat elimination. According to the schedule, the women’s team will decide on the 15th and the men’s team will win on the 16th.

Make jokes! Adding a zero to Lyft’s earnings outlook led to a sharp rise in the stock price and then retreated after clarification.

2024年2月19日 | admin | gzxq

The share price of Lyft, an American online car company, soared 67% after hours. The company had previously predicted that the adjusted profit was 11% higher than the analyst’s forecast, and predicted that the profit margin would increase by 500 basis points in the initial press release. But the company later called the profit margin forecast a clerical error.

In a conference call with analysts, Erin Brewer, chief financial officer of Lyft, said that the company expected the profit margin to increase by 50 basis points instead of 500, and admitted that the figures in the press release were wrong. A company spokesman later called this a "clerical error" and said that the company had corrected this error in the documents submitted later.

After-hours share prices immediately retreated most of the gains. "This is an epic disaster," Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives said in an email. "I have never seen a mistake like this in my nearly 25 years of Wall Street career."

In fact, both Lyft and Uber released strong performance reports this quarter, indicating that the overall passenger demand continued to grow after a sharp decline nationwide during the epidemic. The two companies have invested huge sums of money to recruit and retain enough drivers to meet the surge in order demand. David Risher, CEO of Lyft, who took office less than a year ago, focused his operations on customer satisfaction and emphasized returning to the basics to narrow the gap with Uber. Lyft has spent millions of dollars to attract drivers, but it faces difficulties in increasing passengers.

Lyft said in a statement on Tuesday that the adjusted profit for the first three months of this year is expected to be as high as $55 million, exceeding analysts’ expectations of $49.5 million. The transaction volume of rides excluding tips will be between 3.5 billion and 3.6 billion US dollars, which is higher than the estimated 3.48 billion US dollars.

Lyft’s total orders in the fourth quarter increased by 17% year-on-year to $3.72 billion, higher than the forecast of $3.67 billion. Revenue increased by 4% year-on-year to $1.22 billion, in line with expectations.

Lyft said that the number of active users on its platform increased by 10% year-on-year to 22.4 million in the fourth quarter. Lyft had more than 40 million passengers last year, setting an annual record.

But Lyft still lags behind Uber. According to the data of market research company YipitData, since the second quarter of 2022, the company’s share in the American online car market is about 30%, while Uber’s is 70%. Uber announced its first annual profit since its IPO last week, and said that the number of trips in the quarter increased by 24% to 2.6 billion.

　　Editor’s Note: The integrated protection and restoration project of landscape forest, field, lake, grass and sand ("landscape project") is a landmark project to practice the concept of life community of landscape forest, field, lake and grass. Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", 44 "landscape projects" have been deployed and implemented in the important ecological barrier areas of "three districts and four belts". In December, 2022, "China Landscape Project" was selected as one of the first ten flagship projects of world ecological restoration by the United Nations. From now on, this edition will publish a series of reports on "Beautiful China Landscape Project" to show the exploration and achievements of integrated protection and restoration in various places.

　　"Look, there is a rock sheep on the right!" When the vehicle drove into Helan Mountain, Ge Yihong suddenly shouted. Looking up, three gray rock sheep are drinking leisurely by the stream, and in the distance, Helan Mountain is covered with a layer of green.

　　This is Shitanjing Street, Dawukou District, Shizuishan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, located in the hinterland of Helan Mountain. Ge Yihong, the 60-year-old stationmaster of street sanitation station, lives here all the year round.

　　Helan Mountain is an important natural geographical dividing line and an important ecological barrier in northwest China, which is rich in coal and other resources. Since 1950s, large-scale disorderly mining has seriously damaged the mountain landform. In 2018, the pilot project of ecological protection and restoration of lake grass in the landscape forest field at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain in Ningxia was officially launched; In 2021, the comprehensive improvement of the ecological environment of Helan Mountain was jointly recommended by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the World Conservation Union as one of the 10 typical cases of ecological protection and restoration with China characteristics. Today, Ningxia has completed the comprehensive renovation of 214 points inside and outside Helanshan National Nature Reserve, with an area of over 405,000 mu.

　　Mine management, shut down and quit coal and gravel enterprises.

　　"In the past two years, the effectiveness of governance has gradually emerged. There have been new changes in the former Shikanjing mining area, and many animals that have lived in the mountains for a long time have gone down the mountain." Ge Yigong said, looking out from time to time. "You see, this ‘ Quack chicken ’ How beautiful! " Along the direction of the finger, I saw the stone pheasants with bright fur and round posture strolling in the grass in droves, and in the distance, the golden eagle with wide wingspan was hovering in the sky … …

　　Ge Yihong was born, grew up and worked in the mining area. Different from the days when the mountains were quiet and natural and animals swarmed, the Helan Mountain used to be full of people and the sound of mining rumbled.

　　Since 1950s, Helan Mountain has entered the stage of large-scale industrial mining. Mining enterprises blossom everywhere, and there are countless informal small coal mines. "At that time, it was also called Shikanjing District. At the most brilliant time, it was inhabited by more than 100,000 people. There were hospitals, shopping malls, schools and restaurants, including Helan Mountain ‘ Baili mining area ’ Known as. " Ge Yihong said.

　　However, the large-scale exploitation of mineral resources has seriously damaged the mountain landscape, and some wild animals are on the verge of extinction due to the sharp compression of their habitats. There are about 50 coal enterprises scattered in the Dagugou area of the carboniferous well, including 5 large pits formed by open-pit mining and more than 10 continuous slag hills. Dust all over the sky and sewage cross-flow, which greatly destroyed the natural ecosystem of Helan Mountain.

　　"In the past, there were coal washing plants everywhere. Black wastewater flowed in the ditch and the land was dyed black. Private mines cut off the whole mountain, and dug a large pit for quarrying, forming a gully with a depth of 100 meters. " Ge Yihong still remembers the scene of that year. "Red deer and rock sheep have never been seen. Wearing a shirt, it will be dyed black for a while, and residents are afraid to dry clothes outside. "

　　With the progress of the central environmental protection inspector, in 2017, Ningxia began to vigorously rectify the ecological environment of Helan Mountain. Rujigou, Shitanjing and other mining areas closed all open-pit coal mines, 83 mining rights were all withdrawn, and 561 "scattered pollution" enterprises in the centralized coal processing zone at the foot of the mountain were also shut down and banned.

　　After clearing the mine, cutting the slope and lowering the platform, a vigorous mine management began. "Following the Helan Mountain Clean-up and Renovation Command, everyone rushed to the slag platform piled up by abandoned coal gangue and transported it day and night." As the stationmaster of Shitanjing Street Sanitation Station, Ge Yihong participated in the whole process.

　　Coal gangue was piled up into a waste platform with a height of nearly 100 meters by a mine car, and then cut into a "terraced field" in order to reduce the slope and prevent soil erosion. Subsequently, the mountain-high unclaimed slag pile was covered with loess nearly 50 cm thick, which gave the black slag mountain with a layer of "skin" that could retain green vitality. At the same time, "follow the mountain, follow the mountain, follow the mountain", restore the topography according to the shape, and reduce the safety hazards such as landslides and mudslides.

　　During the treatment period, the resident population of Shitanjing decreased sharply, and Ge Yihong moved from the hinterland of Helan Mountain to Dawukou District at the foot of the mountain with the coal miners. Nowadays, standing at the top of the Dagugou governance area, new "mountains" have sprung up. "This is smoothing what was left behind ‘ Scar ’ Only by curing the mine can there be room for further greening. " Ge Yihong said.

　　Planting trees, building greening projects and implementing ecological restoration.

　　On both sides of the 302 provincial highway crossing Helan Mountain, drip irrigation pipes tightly wrap the towering slag platform like fishing nets. "This is to ensure the survival rate of seedlings. From spring to winter, water should be poured at least 10 times." Ge Yihong said. It was spring, and I saw that many bare land had been covered by all kinds of newly planted saplings.

　　After the retreat and restoration of Helan Mountain mine, how to effectively plant trees and increase green has become the number one problem in Helan Mountain management.

　　To plant trees, we should start with selecting suitable tree species. Since 2018, Shizuishan Ecological Protection Forest Farm has conducted a series of experiments in Helan Mountain through cooperation with Ningxia University and other scientific research institutes, and finally determined Caragana korshinskii, Salix psammophila, Elm, Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica and Robinia pseudoacacia as the main tree species. "Helan Mountain is a stone mountain with thin soil layer and difficult vegetation growth. Moreover, the annual rainfall here is only two or three hundred millimeters, but the evaporation is more than 10 times. Native plants that are cold-resistant, drought-resistant and salt-tolerant are the best choice. " Zhang Tingxie, director of Shizuishan Ecological Protection Forest Farm, said: "‘ Seabuckthorn, Caragana korshinskii and Prunus armeniaca on the top of the mountain wear hats, and two apricots are wrapped around the waist on the hillside ’ This is what we have summed up. "

　　Although he has moved out of the mining area, he heard that there is a green restoration project. Ge Yihong returned to Shihanjing, joined the army of tree planting, and got busy in the Dagugou area with the heaviest restoration task.

　　Waving steel drill and shovel, struggling to dig hard sand and gravel ground, digging out 80 cm square tree pits, and then righting, ridging, tamping and watering the seedlings. "Dig up the thin soil layer, and here is the coal gangue that can’t store water. If you want trees to survive, you have to cover them with moisture-retaining soil, nutrient soil and sealing soil, step on them layer by layer, and finally mention them slightly to make the roots of seedlings grow in the same direction. " This is known as the "three steps and one mention" trick, and Ge Yihong and the tree planters are well known. "Now, the survival rate of trees can reach 85%." Ge Yihong said.

　　Planting trees in spring and autumn, watering in summer, controlling pests and diseases, and conducting fire inspections in winter, Ge Yihong "soaks" in Helan Mountain all year round. Nowadays, driving around the mountain along the ecological restoration area of Helan Mountain, you can see "green-planting people" digging holes to change soil, placing saplings and lifting water to irrigate … … "The apricot at the foot of the mountain was planted by us a few years ago. When the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, they are layered. This year, we intend to put this cinder mountain in green. " Zhang Tingxie said.

　　Systematic improvement of governance results, integrated development of ecological culture and tourism.

　　"Now there are less than 100 people left in Shitanjing Street. After the restoration of Helan Mountain is completed, my life will be idle." Ge Yihong, who returned to the Shitanjing, did not go down the mountain and stayed in the old mining area. However, it was not long before the days of "long years in the mountains", the Shitanjing became lively again.

　　Since autumn and winter of 2021, Shizuishan City has mobilized 105 units, including party and government organs, enterprises and institutions, and units stationed in stone areas, to carry out greening activities in eight mine ecological environment management areas in Dalanggou District, Shitanjing Street, Helan Mountain along the 302 provincial highway. At present, it is the planting period, and many staff members are busy setting out, waving picks and shovels, and leveling the ground.

　　"Through ‘ Green Planting in Pieces in Helan Mountain ’ Activities can plant 12,000 mu of trees a year. " Jia Zengjun, director of the Natural Resources Bureau of Shizuishan City, said: "More importantly, the task of slicing and planting has stimulated everyone’s enthusiasm and made everyone feel that the results of Helan Mountain governance are hard-won. Now the afforestation task is about to be completed. From the closure and rectification of the mining area to the ecological restoration of internal and external integration, and then to the improvement of the governance results system, Helan Mountain is being dressed in green. "

　　Ecological improvement has made Helan Mountain, which once sold coal, have the possibility of diversified development.

　　At 7: 35 every morning, the 7524 train leaves Yinchuan for Rujigou. This small train is called "Shitanjing Tourist", which connects in series with the former coal mining areas such as Dagugou, Baijigou and Rujigou. A 3-hour and 52-minute drive takes passengers deep into the hinterland of Helan Mountain to visit the passionate industrial years.

　　"Eco-tourism+industrial film and television shooting base" is a new way explored in Shitanjing mining area. Since 2017, some old houses in Shitanjing have been repaired and old streets and alleys have been protected. After the establishment of the Shitanjing Industrial Tourism Town Exhibition Hall, Ge Yihong was hired as a commentator to receive visitors: "I didn’t expect the industrial relics left in the old mining area to become a unique advantage in developing tourism. In the past few days, I have received thousands of tourists, and many movies have come here to take pictures!"

　　After several years of management, the ecological function of Helan Mountain has been steadily improved, and the goals of ecological corridor restoration and biodiversity improvement are gradually being implemented. This towering mountain range is witnessing the ecological vision of "green water and green mountains" becoming a beautiful life within reach.

The closing ceremony of the Olympic Games will be the first ＂Xiangyun＂ fireworks to ignite a passionate night.

2024年2月3日 | admin | xwxq

　　At the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, 18 districts and counties in Beijing will set off fireworks together to record this historic moment, so that gorgeous Beijing and happy Beijing will go down in history forever. The fireworks feast at the closing ceremony and the Bird’s Nest will surely become the focus of world attention. To this end, Xinhuanet specially invited Zhao Weiping, the general commander of the Bird’s Nest fireworks display, to introduce the related situation of the Bird’s Nest fireworks display at the closing ceremony.

Zhao Weiping, the general commander of the 2008 Olympic Games Bird’s Nest fireworks display, was interviewed by this reporter.

　　Zhao Weiping: Everything is ready for the fireworks display at the closing ceremony.

　　Moderator: The expected closing ceremony is about to be staged. Apart from the rich programs prepared by ourselves and the 8-minute performance in London, the fireworks will bring the atmosphere of the audience to a climax. What is the preparation for the fireworks in the closing ceremony?　

　　Zhao Weiping: We have basically finished the preparations for the closing ceremony. There are 420 launching sites and 8,138 fireworks in the closing ceremony. It is necessary to rearrange the layout and rearrange the launcher. At present, the preparations include the installation of fireworks, the structural installation and wiring of the shelves. The rest of the time we will do some tests on them and check them a few more times to be foolproof.　

　　Moderator: Will some equipment at the opening ceremony continue to be used at the closing ceremony?

　　Zhao Weiping: The equipment that is exactly the same as the opening ceremony is gone. They have all been readjusted. Because each launcher actually involves different specifications and quantities, basically nothing used in the opening ceremony can be used in the closing ceremony. We hung many launchers again and rearranged them, because after all, the products are still very different. This is the difference between the opening ceremony and the closing ceremony.

　　Moderator: The Bird’s Nest has been in the competition all the time, and the performance place of the closing ceremony is also in the Bird’s Nest, which is bound to bring some difficulties to the preparation of fireworks. What difficulties have you encountered? How do we overcome it?

　　Zhao Weiping: The biggest problem encountered in the construction of the closing ceremony is that the construction is not allowed during the day, and the other is that it rained heavily two nights ago, which brought us some difficulties and increased the intensity of our work. Our team basically worked all night every day. In addition, there is no light on the bird’s nest at night, and we mainly rely on the peripheral auxiliary lights to illuminate the work, which also increases the difficulty of our work. But even under such circumstances, everyone made unremitting efforts, especially the encouragement brought by the success of the Olympic opening ceremony. It should be said that the whole team is United as one and has high morale, hoping to complete the closing ceremony successfully.

　　Moderator: Our staff is still in a very good state, without any slack?

　　Zhao Weiping: No. We also held a mobilization meeting yesterday, which was the last mobilization before the closing ceremony. I hope everyone can make a great effort to make the closing ceremony beautiful. After these mobilizations, everyone is still very active. Everyone performed very well, and I was very touched. I think it must be the fighting spirit of the Olympic Games that encouraged everyone. I am very satisfied with the performance of the team, as a person, as the leader of the enterprise or as the commander-in-chief of the fireworks display team.

　　Moderator: This time, the preparation is quite adequate, but the closing ceremony has not been rehearsed. Will you feel a little insecure?

　　Zhao Weiping: No, because as the closing ceremony itself, there is no substantive rehearsal, but every discharge in front of the Bird’s Nest can be said to be a rehearsal for the closing ceremony. Because each discharge and installation will bring more experience, more protection and more confidence to the next one.

The staff installed the Bird’s Nest fireworks in the daytime and at night (picture provided by Panda Fireworks Company).

　　The fireworks of "Xiangyun", the first appearance of the closing ceremony, will ignite the night of passion.

　　Moderator: Then can you tell us specifically what kind of fireworks will be displayed at the closing ceremony?

　　Zhao Weiping: There are still some differences between the closing ceremony and the opening ceremony. Everyone has seen the opening ceremony. There are five rings, footprints, some beautiful wings on the top of the bird’s nest, doves of peace, countdown in the stadium, waterfalls, lightning, thunder, including the peony flowers we talked about, and dynamic five-color rings, all of which have their own characteristics. We also used the chip bomb (which is the most advanced in the world at present) and used air launch for the first time. These are the results of our technological innovation.

　　Our main product innovation at the closing ceremony is an auspicious cloud. As we all know, Xiangyun has spread all over the world, and we also hope that the creativity of fireworks can be expressed by Xiangyun, which may be different from our Xiangyun torch. There will be spiral and dynamic fireworks at dozens of points on the top of the bird’s nest, which has never been seen before. Xiangyun has two colors, including a gold one. This is a relatively good product, and it took us about half a year to develop it after receiving the task book from the Olympic Organizing Committee.

　　Another highlight of the closing ceremony is that we have a colorful circle on the top of the Bird’s Nest. After typing, you will see a fireworks circle, which is quite beautiful, and it has been launched twice. We didn’t have such a variety in the last opening ceremony. It exploded in the sky after you hit it from below and saw the effect. The products we used at the opening ceremony last time did not explode in the sky, but this time there will be an explosion in the air, which will present a very beautiful scene and bright colors. At last, a round pattern made by a big fireworks will be formed on the periphery of the bowl at the top of the Bird’s Nest. I think this round pattern also indicates the complete success of the whole Olympic Games, which can also be said to be "round and full". Everyone is happy and safe. The Olympic Games shows her moral through these fireworks, so I think these will also bring you some aesthetic feeling and some new visual impact. The other difference between the closing ceremony and the opening ceremony is that we have more dynamic things running fast on the top of the bird’s nest in the closing ceremony.

　　Moderator: So what is the scale of the fireworks display at the closing ceremony?

　　Zhao Weiping: From the top of the Bird’s Nest, the whole scale of fireworks in the closing ceremony is smaller than that in the opening ceremony. This time, we don’t have bowl products, which means that there is nothing inside the Bird’s Nest, and the part outside the Bird’s Nest is basically the same as that in the opening ceremony.

　　Closing Ceremony The Beijing Municipal Government and the Olympic Organizing Committee hope that the whole city will have an opportunity to celebrate together and hold fireworks celebrations in 18 districts and counties in Beijing, because after all, it was almost seven years since we won the right to host the Olympic Games in 2001, and many people all over the country worked hard for it. On the whole, this scale is unprecedented in Beijing’s history, and it can be said that there is no such scale in the world. At that time, after the closing ceremony, fireworks will be lit in 18 districts and counties at the same time. I think this can be applied for Guinness Book of Records, which has never been seen in any city or at any time in the past.

　　The fireworks display at the closing ceremony is not affected by rain.

　　Moderator: If it rains on the closing day, will it affect the fireworks display?

　　Zhao Weiping: This is no problem. Because we have already installed the fireworks, it can be said that the problem of rain has been solved at this stage, and it will not be affected whether it rains or other circumstances. If it rains heavily, of course we will listen to the organizing Committee, but as far as I know, it won’t rain before the 24th.
