Swedish princess, it’s time to reduce your carbon emissions.

  (This article was first published in "youli-youmian" WeChat WeChat official account, by Tang Ge)

  Greta Thonberg, a Swedish woman who was portrayed as an "environmental princess" by the United States and the West, was afraid to say anything about Japanese nuclear waste water and American toxic waste, but on May 7th, she suddenly woke up and began to criticize China for polluting the environment.

  The excuse is that an organization called Rongding Group of the United States calculated that China’s greenhouse gas emissions accounted for 27% of the world in 2019, with the largest emissions. The United States accounts for 11%, making it the second largest environmental polluter. The third place is India, which accounts for about 6.6% of global greenhouse gas emissions. According to the report, China’s emissions have more than tripled in the past 30 years. But in terms of per capita emissions, China is still lower than the United States.

  What followed was the anger of the princess of environmental protection. She accused China of emitting more greenhouse gases than all developed countries combined, and then criticized that although China was still listed as a "developing country" by the World Trade Organization and was responsible for producing many global commodities, it was not an excuse for China to destroy the environment, stressing that "unless China completely changed its policy, we could not solve the climate crisis".

  Although the report also said that China’s per capita carbon dioxide emission is about 10.1 tons, which is lower than that of OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) member countries’ 10.5 tons, while that of the United States is about 17.6 tons, which continues to rank first.

  But for American content, Thonberg suddenly fell asleep again, just like facing Japanese nuclear waste water.

  In this regard, Chen Weihua, president of the China Journal’s EU branch, retorted on May 8th, criticizing that "your public relations team (Thonberg) should teach you more".

  First, the population of China is twice that of the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, whose members are basically developed countries), so the per capita emissions are much lower; Second, the OECD has transferred a large number of polluting industries to China or other developing countries, so don’t pretend that you are innocent; Third, by far, OECD is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases in history.

  Chen Weihua pointed out: "I can’t believe that you should defend these developed countries with the largest emissions in two centuries, ‘ Destroy the future and present living environment? ’ Do you know that many people in developing countries don’t even have electricity and live on less than $1 a day? Do you want this lifestyle to continue? A very simple example is that if H&M produces all raw materials and clothing in Sweden, the emissions of Sweden or OECD will rise. What will happen if about 5000 major OECD companies do the same? So recognize the facts and be fair! "

  Chen Weihua finally criticized: "It was the World Bank that classified China as ‘ Developing countries ’ If you want to raise an objection to the World Bank, please do it at once. They will provide you with all the statistical information. "

  Who is the princess of environmental protection? I think netizens have probably heard of it.

  This is an adult Swedish woman. A few years ago, it was suddenly packaged by the "environmental protection forces" in Europe and the United States, and it was enthusiastically embraced. Then it delivered speeches around the world, and even criticized the heads of state at the United Nations General Assembly, which was praised by them as the "hope" for the future of mankind.

  Because Thonberg was young a few years ago, she was called the little princess of environmental protection by the packager. When she grew up, she became an environmental protection girl again. Now … … Can only be called the princess of environmental protection.

  With the influence of the United States and the West, Thonberg once called on millions of students around the world to strike. Under the full push of western politicians and media, it has become the idol of many teenagers. In 2019, a little boy in Hong Kong took it as an idol, and a man held a sign at the entrance of the village to protest against the environmental pollution of the SAR government.

  On March 30th this year, the University of Winchester in the United Kingdom "sculpted the golden body" for her and set up an isometric bronze statue in recognition of her contribution to environmental protection.

  The BBC also produced a special documentary for her, telling the story of this environmental saint with a pious voice and a worship perspective. All the filters and shaking lenses in China’s report have disappeared.

  If we only engage in environmental protection, it can be regarded as benefiting mankind. However, the princess never planted a tree or went to the desert to plant a piece of grass. Instead, she ran around, holding a lot of protest cards, which was quite polluting the environment. Although it claims to be a vegetarian, from the growth results, carbon emissions are actually not small.

  The lifestyle that pollutes the earth the most is living in Europe and America. Why doesn’t she criticize it?

  Brother Right will give you a small example:

  In most parts of the United States, it is forbidden to dry clothes, even if you dry them on your balcony, your neighbors will report you immediately. What about Americans drying clothes? Then dry it with electricity. 300 million Americans have 88 million electric dryers, each of which consumes an average of 1079 kWh of electricity every year. It is equivalent to a dryer, which is the annual electricity consumption of an ordinary China family. Americans don’t want to do such simple things as moving hands and drying clothes. No one criticizes them for not protecting the environment. No one suppresses them with the future of mankind. Chinese eats a piece of meat with chopsticks and becomes the object of criticism? Even the per capita meat consumption in Chinese is not as high as that in the United States.

  For example, Academician Ding Zhongli of Chinese Academy of Sciences questioned Chai Jing’s words: Is Chinese a human being?

  For another example:

  According to the data released by NASA satellites, about one quarter of the newly-added green area in the world from 2000 to 2017 came from China, ranking first in the world in terms of contribution. Researchers believe that the reason is that China has outstanding performance in afforestation and intensive agriculture.

  Why can China become the country with the largest green area in the world? Because there are countless Chinese who plant trees day after day in the Gobi Desert in northwest China, and with their own hands, they really protect the natural environment and benefit all mankind.

  For example, the Tianmu Desert, which is closest to Beijing, began to be rectified in 2003. Under the hard work of the PLA officers and men, this desert was gradually controlled, and now only 200 acres are left. Now this 200-mu desert has become a popular tourist attraction and film and television shooting base, and it needs special protection, otherwise it will be "destroyed" by the vegetation that has been restored around it carelessly.

  Twenty years ago, the greening rate in China was only 13%, while that in developed countries was above 30%. This was written in the textbooks of China students that year, so that Chinese people could learn from shame and be brave, understand their own shortcomings, and then fully build China. In 2020, the forest coverage rate in China has reached 22.96%. Although it has not caught up with the developed countries, it has made great progress.

  These, the princess of environmental protection can’t see, she can only see what caters to western politicians. Last year, she didn’t do anything serious, mixed up with Hong Kong drug activities, and put up a sign on the Internet to support Huang Zhifeng’s activities in support of "12 Hong Kong drugs".

  What is the relationship between Hong Kong poison and environmental protection?

  Of course, it does matter. They are all different pieces under western politicians, and their purpose is to make trouble for developing countries. Hong Kong poison can hinder the development of the largest developing country. The princess of environmental protection is not to be outdone, and I will come!

  Taking advantage of the "righteousness" of environmental protection and benefiting all mankind, western countries can justly interfere with developing countries and curb their development.

  Thonberg, a vocal environmentalist, wants to keep the earth as it is. Developed countries have developed, transferring industries with high energy consumption and high pollution to developing countries, and continuing to live a good life by collecting patent fees as an "environmental protection" way. And people in developing countries want to produce more wealth through their hardworking hands? Sorry, that will emit carbon dioxide. For the sake of the future of mankind, you are not allowed to live the rich life of us Swedes.

  Although people in developed countries are using a lot of fossil fuels and driving large-displacement cars, which wastes a lot of resources and pollutes the earth, they can criticize Chinese for using chopsticks and eating meat is not environmentally friendly.

  While China is silently making contributions to all mankind and making every effort to develop new energy sources, save energy and reduce emissions, western politicians do not reflect on themselves, but occupy the so-called moral commanding heights by touting the "role model" of the environmental princess. It sounds like it’s for the future of all mankind. In fact, it’s destroying the earth while suppressing the development of developing countries.

  Only when developing countries live at the bottom forever can they keep their highly polluted lives.

  Chinese environmental protection VS western environmental protection

  One is to reclaim the land from the desert inch by inch and actually save the earth with both hands.

  One is to continue to drive large-displacement cars to pollute the earth after generating a lot of garbage and holding placards to protest.

  Who is really saving the earth and mankind, and who is the hope of mankind in the future … …

Self-heating food is now "anxious" and wants to break the game with multiple categories.

Self-heating food, represented by self-heating hot pot and self-heating rice, has enjoyed the bonus of "house economy" and "lazy economy" in recent years, and caught a ride of development. Good market potential is also rewriting the pattern of self-heating food industry. In addition to emerging brands such as Mo Xiaoxian and Zi Hei Guo, traditional instant noodle enterprises such as Master Kong and Baixiang, and catering enterprises such as Haidilao and Xiaolongkan have also joined in.

 

However, with the entry of giants, self-heating food enterprises that once had a single product line began to be "anxious". Facing giants with strong advantages in brands and channels, self-heating food enterprises began to seek new increments. Recently, the condiment products have been introduced from the pot, which is developing towards multiple categories; Mo Xiaoxian introduced sesame sauce dough, ice powder and other foods that are more suitable for summer tasting. Multi-dimensional development seems to be the new trend of self-heating food industry.

 

The insiders believe that multi-brand operation can increase profit points, but it is not advisable for new enterprises to build new brands quickly. Multi-brand is a way for consumer goods industry to spread risks and highlight the value of different categories, but it is not a panacea. For new enterprises, the dispersion of enterprise resources may also make them fall into a disadvantage in the competition.

 

Expand product categories

 

Many consumers are familiar with self-heating food. Self-cooking pot, Mo Xiaoxian and other brands have become online celebrity in the eyes of young consumers, which can also be seen in some TV dramas. In fact, the products of these brands are not only self-heating foods, but also more kinds of products have begun to appear, forming a product matrix.

 

Ziguiguo recently announced the launch of a new brand "Xiaoqi Kitchen", laying out the field of compound condiments. The Beijing News reporter saw in the flagship store of Ziiguo Tmall that this new brand has been launched, mainly with composite condiments such as stir-fry sauce and bibimbap sauce. The stir-fry sauce includes more than 10 kinds of products such as Mapo tofu, osmanthus braised pork and spicy incense pot, and the ready-to-eat bibimbap sauce products also have a variety of flavors, aiming at the use scene of family kitchens.

 

Nowadays, the self-cooking pot is creating the strategy of "self-cooking pot production", and the sub-brand "screen" of cooking noodles series is also launched, and the sub-brand "smelly snail" is also under development.

 

What is the purpose of changing from "self-cooking pot" to "self-cooking pot production"? Cai Hongliang, the founder of the self-cooking pot, told the Beijing News reporter, "We are engaged in catering. The essence of catering is the forms of frying, cooking and steaming at home. Therefore, in terms of self-heating, the self-cooking pot has self-cooking related products, while in other cooking methods, it means that the self-cooking pot has to expand into other categories."

 

Mo Xiaoxian, another self-heating brand, is also exploring category expansion. At a forum held on June 30th, Wang Zhengqi, the founder of Mo Xiaoxian, said in his speech that if the brand can continue to create explosive products, making one more category will make more and more money, and high efficiency and low cost are the keys to continuously create explosive products. When a brand is very popular, you should immediately start thinking about how to build a second curve.

 

According to public information, in May this year, Wang Zhengqi mentioned that Mo Xiaoxian would introduce sesame sauce dough, ice powder and other foods more suitable for summer tasting. The Beijing News reporter saw in Mo Xiaoxian’s Tmall flagship store that Mo Xiaoxian’s Sichuan instant ice powder products have been put on the shelves, starting at 23.9 yuan, and the tastes include brown sugar and kumquat lemon. The total price of 8 bags of sesame sauce dough is 27.9 yuan.

 

It is not difficult to see that whether it is the "self-cooking pot" or Mo Xiaoxian’s consideration of building a second curve, self-heating food brands are seeking market growth other than self-heating food. According to Shen Meng, executive director of chansons Capital, the above actions are inevitable, because these enterprises have not done their own market well and have no ability to do it, so they will choose spillover to a certain extent.

 

Wu Xiaopeng, a senior investor in the consumer goods industry, believes that brands such as Ziguiguo and Moxiaoxian have developed rapidly with the help of market dividends. However, consumers’ pursuit of trendy products and the short-term demands of the current primary market fanatical capital have made many new consumer brands impetuous, and they feel good about themselves during the market dividend period, rapidly launching multiple categories and entering industries such as condiments, which has increased the risk of development.

 

The competition of giants entering the market is fierce.

 

Enterprises specializing in self-heating food are "anxious", and the entry of giants is an important reason.

 

The eight innovation trends of the convenience food industry in China in 2019-2020 released by Shen Qun, a professor at the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering of China Agricultural University, and Tan Bin, the chief researcher of the Scientific Research Institute of the State Grain and Material Reserve Bureau, show that one of the innovation trends of the convenience food industry includes the blowout of self-heated food.

 

Due to the special demand during the epidemic in 2020, the self-heating food that can be heated and eaten only by soaking the heating bag in cold water is popular. In the convenience food industry, after Uni-President and other enterprises introduced self-heating food, Jinmailang, Master Kong, Baixiang, Zhengda and Keming joined the self-heating food market one after another. Self-heating foods such as self-heating rice, self-heating noodles, and self-heating hot pot are growing by spurt.

 

Not only that, Yang Guofu, who makes mala Tang, Haidilao and Xiaolongkan, who make hot pot, have all entered the field of self-heating food. In 2019, Yihai International, a hot pot bottom material supplier of Haidilao, achieved a revenue of 4.28 billion yuan and a net profit of 720 million yuan. In 2020, the revenue of Yihai International reached 5.36 billion yuan, of which the revenue of instant food products reached 1.54 billion yuan, up 54.15% year-on-year. From the perspective of revenue structure, the proportion of instant food products reached 28.7%.

 

According to the data from China Food Industry Association, the growth rate of self-heating chafing dish reached 99.6% in 2018. According to the China Convenience Food Industry Report released by the independent market research and consulting company Mintel, the market share of self-heating foods in convenience foods has increased from 4.4% in 2018 to 7.6% in 2019, with sales of 7.1 billion yuan in 2019. According to the calculation of CITIC Securities, under the pessimistic, neutral and optimistic conditions, the future self-heating hot pot market will grow to 12 billion yuan, 30 billion yuan and 60 billion yuan respectively.

 

Wang Zhengqi also said in his speech that the competition in the field of convenient and fast food is fierce, because many brands with hundreds of billions or billions compete with self-heating food enterprises on the same stage. "At this time, if you don’t have a clear understanding of yourself, you will definitely die quickly because your opponent is too strong. Although self-heating hot pot is a new industry, there are not many barriers to products. "

 

In Wu Xiaopeng’s view, the food industry is shallow and deep, and it is easier to come in than to be stable. Emerging self-heating food brands are facing the competition of giants such as Haidilao and Uni-President, and the cross-border of leisure and snack enterprises such as good shops, herbs and three squirrels. At present, the main homework is to pay attention to walking slowly instead of going fast. The only way to achieve long-term development is to be absolutely assured of product quality, food safety and self-heating package, and to concentrate on creating brand culture connotation according to the basic laws of consumer behavior.

 

Is condiment a good way out?

 

In the process of self-heating food brands seeking multi-category development, condiments seem to be the target. In addition to the pot, the Beijing News reporter saw in Mo Xiaoxian’s Tmall flagship store that the store had put on a tiger skin roasted pepper sauce at a price of 15.9 yuan. After entering the self-heating food industry, Yang Guofu also introduced chafing dish bottom products, including butter, clear oil, tomatoes and other different flavors.

 

Regarding the introduction of compound condiments, Cai Hongliang, the founder of Zigui Pot, told the Beijing News reporter that he is very optimistic about this sector, and the "Xiaoqi Kitchen" brand should be a seasoning for young people to facilitate cooking. You don’t need oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, ginger and pepper, just a packet of cooking sauce will get the authentic dishes.

 

According to Jost Sullivan’s data, in 2020, the market size of compound condiment in China will be about 150 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of about 15.83%, which is higher than that of the whole condiment industry. In fact, there are many new brands occupying positions in the compound condiment track.

 

Founded in September 2020, "Add a little taste" contains three product lines, which are for young people’s dining table scenes and kitchen scenes. Facing the table scene, there are a series of table sauces and Japanese bibimbap materials, including sour and refreshing tomato beef sauce, thick-cut beef sauce, charcoal-roasted tiger skin green pepper sauce, Sichuan-Guizhou assorted bad spicy sauce and so on. On June 3, 2021, Meixin Food, a compound condiment company, announced the completion of tens of millions of yuan financing in Round A.

 

Shen Meng believes that the problems of self-heating food are mainly safety and quality. For domestic capital, as long as there is an opportunity to make money and cash out, it is a good track. There are many listed companies in the A-share market for condiments, and the market is large enough for paper opportunities, but whether it can be made depends on the specific performance.

 

In 2021, the popularity of compound condiment industry continued, and the traditional condiment forces such as Haitian, Qianhe, Chubang and Lee Kum Kee increased. Following the launch of four hot pot bottom products in 2020, the Haitian hot pot bottom product line was expanded to nine products in 2021. On April 19th, 2021, Chubang, a brand of Zhongju Hi-tech, launched its first hot pot base in JD.COM, including five products: handmade butter hot pot base, spicy and fragrant butter hot pot base, spicy and fragrant butter hot pot base, tomato soup hot pot base and mushroom soup hot pot base.

 

Wu Xiaopeng said that night economy, one-person food, small indulgence and multiple scenes have brought opportunities for the development of the new convenience food industry. China’s new consumer brand, the momentum is holding high and hitting high, but the success or failure is slow and steady. The content of the fight is not to grab a multi-category comprehensive attack, nor is it just the traffic and supply chain under the Internet thinking, but also the brand culture, organizational ability, food safety and the productism spirit of capitalization. For the compound condiment industry, Wu Xiaopeng believes that "the industry is very good, and the future volume must be very large, but the threshold is low and scattered. How to grow up is a problem. The influx of capital now means that the primary market is impetuous, and at least half of the projects may be destroyed in the future. "

Key procedures of temperature monitoring mural restoration

  The first batch of public murals in the history of China’s subway is in the beijing subway line 2. Have you ever noticed that you take the subway every day? This is the map of the Great River East and the Great Wall of Yanshan located in Xizhimen Station, the glory of China and going to the world in Dongsishitiao Station, the history of Chinese astronomy and the four great inventions in Jianguomen Station. These murals, created in the 1980s, have been accompanied by passengers in the subway for more than 30 years, and they are generally aging and damaged. In order to better protect the important works of public mural art in New China and create a new bright spot in the capital subway with excellent culture, in 2018, Beijing Metro Operation Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Beijing Metro Company) started the mural restoration project. At present, two murals at Jianguomen Station have been basically repaired, and four murals at the remaining two stations are scheduled to be repaired by the end of this year.

  Many masters participated in the mural creation of Beijing subway.

  "These murals in our subway line 2 are all created by master artists!" Qu Xin, an associate professor of Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, was a student of the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts. As one of the assistants of the famous painter Yuan Yunfu, he participated in the production of murals at Jianguomen Station.

  Talking about the subway mural creation that brought together many famous domestic artists, Qu Xin still can’t hide his excitement and excitement. "When it comes to the mural art of new China, there are two great artists who can’t get around it: one is Master Zhang Ding, and the other is Master Yuan Yunfu." Qu Xin said that Mr. Zhang Ding was a master of the older generation who spanned two eras. From Lu Yi in Yan ‘an period to the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts in the early days of the founding of New China, from the anti-Japanese artist in the 1930s to the designer of the national emblem of New China, Master Zhang Ding can be said to be one of the founders of new China fine arts! Mr. Yuan Yunfu belongs to the first generation of young artists trained in New China. He graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1954 and was only 23 years old when he taught at the newly established Central Academy of Arts and Crafts in 1956.

  "The new China mural art really became public art for the first time, and the work that attracted wide attention from the society was the mural of the Capital Airport completed in 1979." Qu Xin introduced that the mural creation not only brought together famous domestic master artists such as Zhang Ding and Yuan Yunfu, but also triggered a great discussion on public cultural undertakings in the whole society. The appearance of airport mural also marks the beginning of public mural art in New China. Due to the great social and international influence of these murals, in the early 1980s, a wave of mural creation rose in various important public places in Beijing, among which the subway mural was the most representative. "Two generations of mural masters, Zhang Ding and Yuan Yunfu, participated in the collective creation."

  The two giant murals "The Great Wall of Yanshan Mountain" and "Going to the Great River East" at Xizhimen Station were created by Mr. Zhang Ding. Qu Xin introduced that as a tribute to the 35th anniversary of the founding of New China, under the personal attention of the top leaders of the country at that time, Master Zhang Ding presided over the completion of the first public mural in the history of Chinese subway. Mural is a traditional Chinese painting created on Korean paper, which uses a special mounting method of epoxy resin. The length of the two murals is 70 meters each, which is the first of its kind. "These two works received artistic advice from the old gentlemen such as Li Keran and Wu Zuoren, who were the masters of painting at that time. Finally, they were reviewed by Comrade Deng Xiaoping himself before they went to the wall."

  Mr. Yuan Yunfu presided over the creation of the mural History of Chinese Planetarium at Jianguomen Station. Qu Xin said that this work comprehensively considers multiple social factors such as environment, humanities and history, especially the corresponding relationship with the ground environment. "Above this subway station is the representative building of ancient Chinese science and technology: the ancient observatory. This connection between the above-ground and underground cultural contexts and the extension of artistic vision have perfectly formed an artistic whole. "

  Art lovers buy tickets to enter the station and take photos with murals.

  As the first mural to be renovated, the two murals "History of Chinese Planetarium" and "Four Great Inventions" in Jianguomen Station of Metro Line 2 have been basically renovated. Facing the murals that reproduce glory, Aunt Qin Yanling, a subway volunteer on duty on the platform, is full of smiles. "My family moved to Jianguomen in 1987, when the murals in the subway station were just completed. Now I am on duty in the subway station and meet the murals every day. It can be said that I have been with these murals for more than 30 years. "

  Aunt Qin said that she didn’t often take the subway before and didn’t pay much attention to the murals at Jianguomen Station. I didn’t get familiar with these murals until I volunteered for the Ping An subway in recent years and often worked in subway stations. "The following is the mural of" History of Chinese Astronomy "with an ancient observatory on it. This design is really amazing!"

  Zhang Jiguo, deputy station head of Jianguomen Station District of Beijing Metro Operation Third Branch Company, entered Jianguomen Station in 1991, and it has been almost 30 years now. In recent years, Zhang Jiguo has formed a habit of standing on the steps of the southwest exit at night and overlooking the murals on the tunnel wall from top to bottom. "When I first came to work, the murals were still very new, and there were few passengers at night. The whole station hall was surrounded by two murals, just like an art gallery hall." Zhang Jiguo recalled that at that time, I don’t know how many times he looked at the huge murals on the silent platform steps and was deeply shocked.

  Zhang Jiguo still remembers that when he first served on the platform, he often met art lovers who bought tickets to watch murals, and sometimes asked him to help him take photos with murals. "Let’s stand near the embassy district, and there are many foreign passengers who come to see the murals. After reading this station, take the subway to Dongsishitao and Xizhimen to continue reading. "

  However, in the past two years, subway murals have become more and more gloomy because of damage and dust. This made the hearts of staff such as Aunt Qin and Zhang Jiguo also shrouded in a layer of gray. "We are all looking forward to repairing it as soon as possible, but everyone knows that this is not an easy task." Zhang Jiguo said that he didn’t understand the content of the repair profession, but since 2019, when he saw the expert group coming to investigate again and again, he knew that there was too much work to be done behind the repair.

  It is imperative to repair many damaged murals.

  "On the surface, the murals have lost their color and are missing in many places. After infrared detection and manual exploration, many other problems were found. " According to Jing Wong, the person in charge of the overall design project of mural renovation, after more than 30 years, subway murals are generally aging and damaged, mainly in three conditions: falling off, hollowing out and cracking.

  Viewed from the outside, the visual effects of the whole picture, such as color and clarity, have changed greatly compared with the early years, mainly due to accumulated dust and aging of the surface layer of the picture. Jing Wong introduced that, in terms of firmness, due to the shock of subway trains all the year round, some pictures are loose, warped and detached, and the damage situation is getting worse and worse, and there are empty drums in the pictures, which may fall off at any time, affecting the train operation and posing security risks. "The murals in the three stations all have surface defects, with 485 missing in Xizhimen Station, 300 missing in Jianguomen Station and 36 square meters missing in Dongsishitiao Station."

  The relevant person in charge of Beijing Metro Company said that the company has held many internal meetings, which put forward requirements for building a "humanistic subway" and realizing "one line, one culture", "one station, one theme" and "one car, one context", and it is imperative to repair the damaged murals. The subway is an important window of Beijing, the capital, and also an important display window of the cultural center. With a daily passenger flow of over 10 million, the Capital Metro is an important platform for promoting Chinese excellent traditional culture. Taking the opportunity of restoring the murals on Line 2 can enrich the connotation of "humanistic subway" and meet the growing spiritual and cultural needs of the majority of passengers.

  In September 2019, on the basis of many previous consultations, a professional company carried out hollowing inspection on the murals of Jianguomen Station, and the design unit formulated a mural restoration plan based on the inspection report. After many design discussions and safety assessment meetings, two murals at Jianguomen Station were cleaned and repaired.

  Work in the early hours of the morning and insist on repairing the old as before.

  Repairing the subway mural is to repair a work of art, which has many problems. Experts and construction workers involved in the repair revealed the mystery.

  "The urgent construction time is the first obstacle." Liu Qingsong, the person in charge of the project implementation unit, recalled that because the murals were located on both sides of the track area in Jianguomen, the construction had to wait until the train stopped. "We can’t start construction until 12 o’clock at night at the earliest, and it will be finished before 3 o’clock in the morning, which can’t have any impact on the train operation the next day. Basically, the shelf is set up, and there is not much time left for work, and it accumulates a little every day. "

  Liu Qingsong said that for the construction unit, although it has been engaged in various professional engineering operations all the year round, it is the first time to construct in the subway station, and it is still faced with two important murals. "We are well aware that the historical and cultural significance it carries cannot be copied. According to the arrangement of the overall planning meeting of the previous construction plan, the detailed construction process was formulated, and the construction safety guarantee was repeatedly emphasized. Not only the safety of construction workers, but also the normal operation of subway trains and the integrity of station murals. "

  Qu Xin, an associate professor at Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, said that although these murals have no cultural relics, they are of great artistic value and cultural charm. "This kind of subway mural is unique in the whole country, and there is no such mural with a complete story and a large area in other places. Mural restoration should respect the original work, pay tribute to the master and protect the master’s works. "

  The relevant person in charge of Beijing Metro Company also said that the designer gave two plans at that time, one was to completely remake and the other was to repair the old as before. In the end, everyone unanimously chose the second scheme. Although the cost is one third higher and the technology is more difficult, it can keep the original appearance of the works of art..

  According to the principle of cultural relics repair, it is not difficult to repair the old as before in construction. "Try to match the image and technology as much as possible, but there is a difference between the new brick and the old brick after all. The old brick has a trace of 30 years. The difference between the new brick and the old brick cannot be too big. It is necessary to deal with it from the technology, and the difficulty is here." Qu Xin said that in order to ensure that the graphics and colors of some murals are integrated with the original parts, all participants need to cooperate closely in the firing, graphic understanding and on-site installation of murals.

  Create a "flowing museum and civilized warm living room"

  The relevant person in charge of Beijing Metro Company said that Metro Line 2 runs through the ring, and the route basically coincides with the inner wall of the original Beijing city. It is the penetrating connection of the underground mapping of the old Beijing city wall and a typical form of "city gate culture" in the ancient capital culture. In particular, the mural of "History of Chinese Planetarium" by Mr. Yuan Yunfu at Jianguomen Station echoes the ancient observatory on the ground, which fully embodies the uniqueness of the subway public culture as a "mirror image" of the ground culture. Repairing the murals on Line 2 is to create a new bright spot of the capital subway with excellent culture, improve the service quality of the capital subway and contribute to the construction of the national cultural center.

  It is understood that in terms of public cultural construction of Beijing Metro, Beijing Metro Company has started to prepare a master plan, and the mural restoration of Line 2 is only one of them. In the future, according to the cultural characteristics of each line, region or station, the design scheme of 16 lines will be formulated in detail, which will systematically sort out the public cultural needs of Beijing subway, organically integrate cultural propaganda, cultural service and cultural industry, guide the construction of high-quality riding environment, intelligent and convenient travel service and high-level cultural atmosphere, and integrate rich cultural heritage with smart scientific and technological means to build Beijing subway into a "flowing museum" with capital style, ancient capital charm and times style.

  Beijing Metro Company will combine different space and functional requirements such as subway interchange station and hub station, plan to build a subway cultural space system, and use design languages such as light and lighting, sculptures and other facilities to make the subway space environment reflect a specific atmosphere. By means of cultural relics exhibition and multimedia interaction, the cultural relics exhibition is connected with the subway, and various elements of the museum are applied to the Beijing subway to provide museum cultural services to the public. "Customer-oriented", establish the service brand of "Warm Living Room" to make passengers feel at ease, comfortable, comfortable and tempted. Relying on the information, knowledge and aesthetic value derived from the cultural ontology of Beijing subway, the cultural connotation of Beijing subway will be refined into tangible or intangible characteristic cultural products, which will fully meet the growing cultural needs of the people and make the "Beijing subway" a high-quality business card.

  Searching for the Missing Content of Murals from Ancient Books

  Teacher Qu Xin introduced that 10,976 pieces of porcelain were used in the two giant tile murals "History of Chinese Tianwen" and "Four Great Inventions" at Jianguomen Station. The History of Chinese Astronomy is 62.25 meters long and 3 meters high. The contents of the work include the achievements of ancient astronomical discoveries and inventions in China from ancient times to the present, as well as the contents from ancient myths and stories to the prospect of modern science and technology. The works of Four Great Inventions are 60 meters long and 3 meters high, including the invention of gunpowder, compass, papermaking and movable type printing, the four most famous scientific and technological contributions in ancient China. Both murals are made of colored tiles.

  In the process of repair, the first step is to fully understand the firing process of the two murals, and fire the samples according to the relevant information and actual understanding to ensure that the materials and firing process are consistent with the original murals; The second step is that after the professional team of mural ceramic arts and crafts artists fully understand the author’s creative intention, they will fill in the missing parts and repair some mural graphics and colors to ensure that they are integrated with the original parts; The third step is to copy the substrate according to the supplementary information, and finally fire it. The same mural needs to be fired several groups, and the best group is selected for on-site installation; The fourth step is to compare the best murals in the installation area after they arrive at the site, install the ones that meet the requirements, communicate with the ceramic arts and crafts artist for the parts that do not meet the requirements, and re-fire them until they meet the requirements.

  Liu Qingsong also introduced an episode when the mural was repaired. During the construction of the movable type printing part of the Four Great Inventions, due to the serious lack of porcelain pieces in this part, the original manuscript at the time of creation is not very detailed, so we can only compare and find the contents of the missing part according to the existing part. "Later, we found that the article on the mural was from an article in the China ancient historical document" The Book of Filial Piety ".Everyone immediately learned about this article in detail and finally made up some missing words."

  All murals are expected to be completed by the end of this year.

  As a special and important task in the construction of public culture in Beijing Metro, Beijing Metro Company attaches great importance to the restoration of murals. According to the relevant person in charge of Beijing Metro Company, in view of the lack of comprehensive information on the authors, creative backgrounds, maintenance cycles and other related information of various public works of art at the station in the early stage, Beijing Metro Company actively coordinated the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission, the Urban Sculpture Office and other relevant cultural research institutions to collect and sort out the information of public works of art for subsequent restoration and improvement.

  In view of the age of the station on Line 2 and the difficulty in restoring murals, Beijing Metro Company hired a professional team to formulate a "one-stop, one-plan" and implement it in stages. The first stage: pilot first, complete the mural restoration of Jianguomen Station on Line 2. At present, it has been basically completed, and the installation of atmosphere lights will be completed before the Spring Festival in 2020, further improving the restoration effect of murals. The second stage: complete the murals of Xizhimen and Dongsishitiao stations on Line 2. The planned completion time is December 31, 2020.

  On the basis of completing the mural restoration work at Jianguomen Pilot Station, Beijing Metro Company will conscientiously sum up the difficulties and problems in the mural restoration work at Jianguomen Station, listen to the opinions of all parties, constantly improve the restoration scheme, adopt nanotechnology to clean the murals as a whole, restore the paintings around the missing parts and "make up the meaning", add protective coatings to the murals as a whole, and overcome difficulties, and strive to complete the restoration work of the remaining four murals at Xizhimen and Dongsishitao stations in 2020. At the same time, we will also establish a long-term mechanism for mural restoration, explore ways to protect the public cultural space of the subway, earnestly take "passenger demand as the guide", and strive to build a higher-level "humanistic subway" to contribute to the functional construction of the national cultural center.

China color TV entered the second half, who will be the big winner?

With the overall decline of China’s color TV market, the decline in quantity has become the most frequently mentioned keyword in the first half of the year-recently, GfK Zhongyikang released a report that in the first half of 2022, the retail volume of domestic color TV market was 16.36 million units, down 8.5% year-on-year; Retail sales reached 55.1 billion yuan, down 11.5% year-on-year.

Finding certainty in uncertainty and building stability in instability have almost become the belief of the whole industry. In view of the polarization of the color TV market in the first half of the year, especially the gradual increase of high-end quality products, the advantages of high-end brands represented by Sony have been highlighted, and the industry trend under adversity has been grasped.

As the absolute king of "high-end big screen", Sony TV is also the industry vane, and many TV brands also benchmark their flagship products with Sony TV as a representative of the brand’s high-end jump.

With the image of "Sony of technology" deeply rooted in people’s hearts, consumers voting with their feet is the best proof. In the first wave of pre-sale of 618 this year, Sony won the first place in the pre-sale amount of self-operated flat-panel TVs in JD.COM; In CHNBrand’s China Satisfaction Index in 2021, Sony became the top color TV brand satisfaction index.

In order to let consumers experience the charm of Sony TV at close range, on August 17th, Sony held a new TV experience meeting in its Hangzhou Direct Store. Among them are Sony’s first domestic TV A95K equipped with QD-OLED and Mini LED TV X95EK. These new products are equipped with exclusive XR chips and new smart cameras, which have attracted much attention.

Sony is almost paranoid in the pursuit of audio-visual experience. From this year’s new products, it can also be seen that Sony has improved the localized application design in order to get close to the living habits of Chinese people and create a Sony-style smart living room.

In China’s color TV market, where foreign TV brands have almost disappeared, Sony TV has not only gained a firm foothold, but also gained new vitality under the background that both the consumer and the supplier are facing challenges at the same time. How on earth did this happen?

"In recent years, the whole macro-economy has all kinds of uncertainties. The China market has changed too fast, and the market trend is not determined by a certain sub-industry or a certain manufacturer." At the Hangzhou New TV Experience Meeting, Xie Biao, President of Sony (China) Consumer Electronics Business Headquarters, explained to 36Kr the particularity of the China market and introduced the process of Sony’s leaps and bounds.

Xie Biao joined Sony Corporation at the end of 1991. Since 2013, he has been the president of Sony (China) Consumer Electronics Business Department, responsible for all categories of consumer electronics business in Sony China. To some extent, Xie Biao witnessed and promoted the development of Sony’s consumer electronics products (civilian consumer goods) in China market, and was also one of the main witnesses of the development of China’s household appliances industry, especially the color TV industry.

According to his experience, people’s demand for color TV sets is mainly characterized by "building a new family or upgrading". Among them, building a new family is mainly affected by the demographic dividend and the environment, and the updating iteration is mainly affected by the fixed service life of TV products and technological innovation.

From 2005 to 2010, the whole industry changed from CRT TV to flat-panel TV. Since then, there seems to be no explosive TV technology revolution.Around 2016, China TV industry officially entered the stock stage. The general view in the industry is that in order to promote consumers to quickly iterate over TV at home, it is necessary to gain insight and always grasp their preferences.

"We found that all consumers who decided to change their TVs chose better and bigger TV products with specific needs, such as the rapidly developing OLED market." Xie Biao introduced that Sony TV, as an advocate of "high-end big screen", this strategic deployment can be traced back to 2014, which has been 8 years since.

In 2014, Sony locked in the direction of focusing on high-end and big screen in China TV market. In 2016, Sony took the lead in introducing the 100-inch Z9D series 4K HDR TV.

In 2017, Xie Biao defined the development direction of Sony TV in China market, formally established the macro strategy of "high-end big screen", focused on the high-end big screen market, focused on high-quality people, and passed on the core advantages of Sony TV in four aspects: image quality, sound quality, design and application to the target people.

In the industry, more brands have also seen this trend. Samsung and TCL have successively launched 98-inch large-screen TVs.But in the field of "high-end big screen", Sony is the real wind maker.

Nowadays, industry data verifies the accuracy of the "high-end big screen" strategy. Although the market is relatively saturated, the data of Aowei Cloud Network shows that from January to June 2022, the sales of TV sets of 75 inches and above both online and offline have risen sharply. It can be seen that the trend of users upgrading from small screen to big screen becomes more and more obvious.

Among them, Sony TV has always maintained a high market share in the ultra-large screen TV market over 65 inches, especially 80-89 inches, and the price is more than 8,000 yuan. Behind its remarkable record, it is the victory of its products and China’s market strategy.

There are not a few companies selling big-screen TVs in the industry, and Sony has truly led the trend of high-end big screens in the industry, thanks to its deep cultivation of segmented people.

"In 2016, the total color TV market in China exceeded 50 million units, and the popularization of color TV sets nationwide was basically completed. Once popularization is completed and the quality of life is further improved, the next consumption trend is diversification of demand. Pursuing cost performance is no longer the only consumption concept, and price is not the only influencing factor. " Xie Biao told 36Kr.

With the entry of China market into the post-epidemic era and the rise of residential economy, Sony’s investment in subdividing the track has achieved remarkable results.

During June 18th, Sony X90K and X91K series game TVs attracted much attention. High-frame games presented coherent and smooth pictures and sensitive operation feedback, and the immersive game experience made them the purchase choice of host players.

As we all know, Sony is one of the major game manufacturers in the world and has a deep understanding of the various needs of gamers. Based on this, Sony can better meet the various needs of the game crowd and improve the production and technical level of TV products.

Through Xie Biao’s introduction, Sony is the first brand in China to open a complete product line of game TV.. As early as 2020, before the advent of the next generation of game consoles, there were few game TV competitions in the industry at that time. Sony X9000H series added 4K120 Hz, HDMI2.1 and other functions that were very important to gamers. From the production of game content to the realization of game terminal experience, this fully demonstrates the advantages of Sony’s own ecosystem interconnection. Understand not only products, but also users.

While Sony performed well in the game TV track, Xie Biao did not forget to emphasize that "the core crowd of TV is still film lovers".Therefore, the best audio-visual experience is the cornerstone of the product. In addition to the game track, Sony is also involved in sports events, fitness and other sub-tracks.

In fact, Sony’s long-term insight into China’s domestic market is indispensable for its ability to accurately grasp the subdivided track in China market.

The emphasis on consumers in China is first reflected in Sony’s new BRAVIA camera this year. This camera was put forward by Sony China to the headquarters, and was finally adopted before it was formed, which included Sony China’s insight and understanding of consumers in China.

In addition to the conventional interactive experience, it also has an AI environment sensing adjustment Pro. This exclusive function can adjust the audio-visual effect more intelligently and intelligently according to the distance between people and TV, bringing consumers a more immersive and comfortable viewing and gaming experience. Sony, the king of audio and video, continues to put TV audio and video in the first place. As Xie Biao said, "TV, the most essential thing, is still used for watching and listening."

In addition, according to Xie Biao, the change in the details of Sony TV’s "remote control" is also advocated by Sony China.

"When consumers first reported that Sony’s remote control was inconvenient, we improved it and turned the digital buttons into the simplest’ up and down’ buttons. In fact, from a technical point of view, this is not difficult at all. Based on the continuous feedback from users, this year we optimized the design of the remote control again. "

According to him,Sony China is continuously advancing the localization process with the fastest speed.At the end of 2021, Sony even transferred the product planning department related to China market from Japan to Shanghai, which also showed Sony’s confidence in China market. "We are willing to seriously plan Sony products suitable for local needs for China consumers."

For the "IoT terminal" that is indispensable for intelligence, Sony hopes to build an open ecosystem. On the one hand, through the business advantages and accumulation of Sony Group’s existing "from lens to living room" whole industry chain, it creates Sony’s unique value for users. Because Sony’s products have the same technology in the field of audio and video.

On the other hand, Sony chooses to cooperate with local business partners, such as JD.COM Xiaojia and Tencent Xiaowei, to interconnect with different brands of hardware in a more open manner, which is more convenient for consumers to use. Starting from this year’s products and functions, we can continue to look forward to the follow-up achievements of Sony’s product planning department, which has moved to China.

With the growth of "digital native generation" consumers in China after 1995 and 00, Sony also pays more attention to cooperation with local social software such as Tencent.

In 2016, Sony TV took the lead in cooperating with tencent games. Immediately, the cooperation between Sony and Tencent involved many aspects such as content business and WeChat. Including in 2020, Sony and Tencent jointly developed the "Aurora Calibration Mode" to raise the content level of film and television streaming media to a higher standard and restore the creator’s intention from the sound and picture performance of TV.

In Xie Biao’s introduction, Sony is more willing to meet the social needs of young consumers. "We found that young people in China rely much more on social media than consumers in other countries. Sony also hopes to upgrade its product features based on the social behavior of young people in China. "

In terms of channels, Sony China also adopts different strategies for online and offline.

Because of the unique value of e-commerce, in 2009, Sony has directly cooperated with major e-commerce platforms, and attached great importance to the efficiency, customer coverage and penetration of e-commerce channel supply chain. According to Xie Biao, Sony can do scientific marketing based on various big data technologies, and at the same time feed back the supply chain and product design.

For offline, Sony mainly cares about two aspects: first, build a strong supply chain system to better spread products to major retail terminals; The second is direct contact with consumers through offline retail.

Therefore, Sony has been steadily promoting the construction of offline direct-operated stores for many years. Up to now, it has seven direct-operated "Sony Store" in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Hangzhou and other cities, aiming at better communication and interaction with consumers and bringing consumers an excellent experience.

In Xie Biao’s view, the best way for a product to promote well and stand on the market is to let consumers experience the real machine directly. The real machine experience is also one of the most important values of offline channels. This value will not disappear for a long time and cannot be completely replaced online.

"And from the point of view of most consumers, if you want to buy a product of 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan, you can’t make a decision just by a photo, you will definitely study this product in depth, which is based on our research and insight into consumers."

For high-end products, it is obvious that after the actual experience, we can fully understand the feelings brought by every detail, which is not experienced through flat pictures and videos. The dual efforts of products and channels give consumers more opportunities to experience the high-end advantages of Sony TV at close range, thus making it easier for users to make decisions.

Looking back, Sony can be seen in every important node of TV development. Since entering China in 1978, more than 40 years have made Sony one of the brands that truly understand the TV market in China and develop healthily.

Based on consumer insight and Sony’s core competitiveness, that is, Sony’s exploration and deep cultivation in the field of TV technology, in recent years, Sony TV has fought its way out of the domestic TV market with innovative technology, whether it is the Z9D series, which was known as the "master of light control" at that time, or the new generation of "QD-OLED TV" series A95K.

"It is not difficult to do TV, and it is difficult to do TV well."In Xie Biao’s view, there are two reasons why Sony can always stay ahead in the industry: one is consumer insight, and the other is to always play its core competitiveness.In the 44 years of domestic development, Sony is one of the few brands whose TV business is still developing healthily and continuously from the beginning to now.

"We have always adhered to sustainable, long-term and healthy development, and we have never blindly followed the price." Xie Wei said.

In his view, after experiencing the stage of rapid development and popularization, the home appliance industry will enter the stage of upgrading diversified demand. At this time, the overall home appliance industry will show a state of decline. Sony, on the other hand, insists on its core competitiveness, restores the real scene, and completes the audio-visual experience.

No matter how the environment changes, Sony is always the "Sony of technology".

It is reported that Sony’s eighth Sony Store direct store in Wuhan will open in the near future, which is also evidence of Sony’s optimistic attitude towards the China market and its investment. Sony always believes that with the effective prevention and control of the epidemic and the orderly recovery of the national economy, the color TV market will also benefit.

According to GfK Zhongyikang’s preliminary forecast, the retail volume of the color TV market in 2023 will be positive year-on-year, with an orderly recovery.
