Oppenheimer: Science needs explorers, not "martyrs"

The film reviews the life of Robert Oppenheimer, the "father of the atomic bomb" in the United States, and focuses on his experience of commanding and manufacturing the first atomic bombs that can be used in actual combat in human history and his political persecution at the beginning of the Cold War.


Generally speaking, biographical films are based on historical events and the life experience of the protagonist, and adopt a straightforward narrative method. However, Nolan, the director who is known as "the contemporary genius of Hollywood", obviously doesn’t want to fall into such a trap, but chooses the post-modern expression mode of double-line narration and disrupting the timeline. The film is launched from the dual perspectives of Oppenheimer and his political enemy Strauss. In order to distinguish them, the story line of Oppenheimer’s perspective uses color pictures, while Strauss’s perspective uses black and white pictures to show the opposition between the protagonist and the villain in the simplest and most direct way. Combined with the avant-garde film narrative technique, full-film shooting and real-life shooting replace the unique picture texture of computer special effects, which brings a kind of "immersive" feeling to the audience in front of the screen, which not only highlights the absolute control of Nolan, the director of the film, but also shows the highly mature execution of Hollywood film industry.


However, compared with the exquisite aestheticism in form, the shallowness in the ideological core of the film is also obvious — — The whole film tries its best to portray Oppenheimer as a "scientific martyr" who suffers from internal suffering and external slander at the same time, and constantly swings between adhering to his own principles and compromising the environment. After repeated "trials", he finally becomes a god. Such characterization does increase the artistic appeal of the film, but its side effects are also quite obvious, that is, while trying to exaggerate the tragedy of Oppenheimer’s personal experience, it ignores and even deliberately hides the social and historical motivation that really caused his life tragedy.


Although Oppenheimer was born in the United States in history, his family came from the upper class in Europe and received a complete European education since childhood. As an adult, Oppenheimer received higher education in the top universities in Europe and became a famous physicist with international influence at a young age. After returning to the United States, he was hired to teach at the University of California, Berkeley, and founded the Oppenheimer Center for Theoretical Physics named after him. He is a pioneer of quantum mechanics in the United States, and this alone is enough to make him famous in the history of American science. By the first half of the 20th century, with the subversion of the traditional Newtonian mechanical system by the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, physics, as the cornerstone of the human science building, is facing an unprecedented revolution. Although the center of theoretical science was still in "old Europe" at that time, the United States, located in the New World, was trying to catch up from the field of experimental science by taking advantage of its national strength and technology. In the film, Oppenheimer’s university "neighbor" — — Ernest Lawrence, an experimental physicist and inventor of cyclotron, can be regarded as a concrete representative of this trend. Oppenheimer’s birth experience naturally made him a bridge between the scientific circles of old Europe and the New World. However, it was his strong spiritual temperament of European liberal intellectuals that had a fundamental conflict with the conservative ideology based on Puritan ethics in mainstream American society at that time.This cultural conflict is actually the real source of Oppenheimer’s life tragedy.


The film attributed the conflict between Oppenheimer and Strauss to Strauss’s "eating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain", which was a personal feud between them. But in real history, the conflict between them stems from the opposition of different values. Oppenheimer, based on the tradition of humanism formed in Europe since the Renaissance and the Reformation, believes that people and countries can reach a consensus through communication, without resorting to force. People like Strauss, who struggled all the way from the bottom of society to the upper class, can be said to be a vivid example of the "American Dream", but it is also because of his complicated life experience that it is difficult for him to have absolute trust in others, and his style is introverted and sensitive, and he is conservative in his ideas and believes in the supremacy of strength. Therefore, in Oppenheimer’s view, calling Strauss a "shoe dealer" and pointing out his misunderstanding of the use of isotopes only tells the truth, and the joking tone is just a harmless humor. However, for Strauss, Oppenheimer is using the prestige of his scientific community to try to ruin his hard-won bright future, so his persecution of Oppenheimer is just a kind of legitimate defense. On a deeper level, Strauss is the embodiment of the extremely pragmatic philosophy believed by the young "industrial empire" of the United States — —In order to achieve the goal ("making an atomic bomb"), a scientist with a "stain" can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and once he loses the use value, he will be abandoned as a lost piece of clothing immediately, and there is no moral burden.


However, as shown in the film, Oppenheimer’s real pain does not come from external persecution, but from his contradictory mentality after Prometheus. Prometheus in western mythology was originally a member of the Titan God. Out of pity for mankind, he stole the sacred fire from the sacred land to bring warmth to the world and taught all kinds of "magic skills" originally belonging to the gods to mankind. This angered Zeus, the king of the gods, and as a punishment, he imprisoned him on the top of the mountain and let the giant eagle peck at his liver every day. In reality, western scientists are often promoted by the media as the contemporary Prometheus. Some great scientists who are now in the history books did not bother to make their scientific research achievements public before their death, but only as a pastime to meet their own spiritual pleasure needs. With the outbreak of the industrial revolution, the influence of scientific research achievements on technological progress has become more and more obvious, and the social status and social reputation of scientists have been improved. However, with the deepening of scientific research, the former scientific research model of "Frankenstein on an isolated island" is becoming more and more unsustainable. To achieve a major breakthrough in scientific research, scientists must try to use more social resources, and even the power of the whole country. It is impossible to build an atomic bomb only by the intelligence of scientists, without the cooperation of American national will and super national strength. Therefore, if Oppenheimer really thinks that he created the atomic bomb on his own and is condemned by his conscience for the uncontrolled use of the atomic bomb,It can only be said that his understanding of human history and real politics is too naive, and he is a kind of bourgeois-like moaning.

Back to the film itself, Oppenheimer is easily associated with the domestic film "Born Out" with similar themes. Objectively speaking, from the perspective of film technology and artistic expression, Oppenheimer is indeed slightly better. But this comparison is meaningless. Born Out is a main theme film of China, while Oppenheimer is a typical Hollywood commercial blockbuster. The different positioning of the two naturally brings completely different presentation methods. What’s more, when we rise to the ideological level, the two judge each other — — Scientists in Oppenheimer are lonely and don’t understand the world, but they are determined to act as fire thieves and show miracles to the ignorant world, while ordinary people become background boards; In Born Out, the intelligence of intellectuals is closely bound with the will of the country and the wishes of the people. They give up their personal honor and disgrace and devote themselves to the great rejuvenation of the nation. The two reflect the fundamental differences between the founding spirits of contemporary China and the United States.


Today’s world is in a great change that has never happened in a hundred years, and international relations are in an unprecedented great change. In the past, the myth of "science has no borders" and "global scientific community" constructed in the context of western-led globalization narrative is being shattered. On the other hand, mankind has been in the field of basic science for more than half a century, and there has been no revolutionary progress by leaps and bounds like that in the first half of the 20th century. The development dividend brought by scientific development to all mankind is drying up. The fundamental reason is that the drooping fruits on the "tree of science" have been picked up, and to pick the fruits on the high places, we must raise the strength of all mankind and continuously invest human, material and financial resources. To truly realize this, we must truly make the "community of human destiny" become the ideological consensus of all mankind. For artists and science communicators in contemporary China, this is an unshirkable historical responsibility. To achieve this goal, we must first strengthen the "four self-confidences" ideologically, strive for perfection in artistic creation, and try our best to be close to the needs of the overwhelming majority of the people in terms of communication methods. Only by truly treating the people as masters of history, combining scientific theory with people’s social practice, and closely linking the development of science and technology with people’s well-being can science become a torch to illuminate the direction of human progress.(Author: Liu Jian, Associate Professor of Tianjin Art Vocational College and Director of Tianjin Popular Science Writers Association)

Reflection on "Air China Gate": What should we do if we meet the next "Niu Moumou"?

  CCTV News (Li Shanshan, Zhang Ke, Fan Fan):On the 5th day after the "Air China Gate" incident, Weibo, the top writer of Li, had nothing to do with Air China, and the related topics on the hot search list in Weibo were once ups and downs. A heated "air China supervisor" incident seems to be slowly subsiding, but some things are still going on.

  The event may have a "passing day", however, the problems reflected behind the event should not be invisible.

  "supervisor" storm

  When the initial indignation exposed the "supervisor" incident, the screenwriter Li may not have thought that the incident would eventually point to the mentally ill.

  At about 9: 00 a.m. on the 13th, Li released a Weibo, revealing that on the flight CA4107 from Chengdu to Beijing on the 12th, a lady who claimed to be "Air China supervisor" loudly reprimanded other passengers for not turning off their mobile phones in time, and asked the crew to call the police. After the flight landed, the three passengers reported by the "supervisor" were taken to the airport public security bureau for 7 hours.

  Li questioned whether the passenger abused his power and disturbed public order in the name of supervision. Is there such a position in the airline?

  Since then, Li has been exposed in Weibo continuously. As can be seen from the released video, this "supervisor" is emotional, walking up and down on the plane, scolding other passengers in the cabin for being "ignorant" and using more radical language such as "intimidation", "conspiracy", "nonsense, do you care" and "uneducated".

  In this regard, some netizens said that the "supervisor" is the person who disturbs the order of civil aviation. Who is this person? And questioned "who gave her so much power"? Since then, the name of the "supervisor" has gradually been pulled out, and it is a woman surnamed Niu, and Niu Moumou has also been exposed to exercising "supervision rights" in many public transport means such as subways and buses.

  In the subway, Niu said that the subway should be rectified and called the police. "On the subway line 5, someone hit me, and a man made several strokes in front of my face with his fist." On the bus, Niu complained that the bus had potential safety hazards and ordered all passengers not to get off, including the children who were going to take the senior high school entrance examination. Some netizens said that they had met her on a yacht in the park to make trouble.

  After 12 hours of continuous fermentation, the incident took a dramatic turn. That is, on the evening of the 13th, the relevant person in charge of Air China apologized to the screenwriter Li and the business class passengers affected by this incident, and explained the identity background of Niu Moumou, saying that he was indeed an Air China employee, but he had been grounded for many years because of mental problems more than ten years ago, suffering from bipolar disorder.

  At the same time, Air China also expressed helplessness: "They have no right to restrict the personal freedom of the cow (a certain) and refuse the cow (a certain) to board the plane!" "At present, mental patients are not included in the regulations prohibiting flight. Although Niu Moumou is an employee of Air China and an ordinary passenger, we have no right to refuse her boarding when she looks mentally normal. " I hope that the screenwriter Li will not publish Niu’s personal privacy.

  On July 15th, screenwriter Li released a blog post entitled "Air China: employees with mental illness can’t be dismissed, can’t refuse to ride, have no responsibility for the incident, and have no compensation for passengers". Li questioned that on July 8th, Niu Moumou had harassed passengers from economy class to first class on flight CA4194 from Beijing to Chengdu, and the crew should report it according to regulations. Therefore, she said that in addition to the blacklist notified by the relevant departments, the airline also gave the captain the right to refuse to carry those who are not suitable for flying.

  According to the screenwriter Li’s Weibo, Air China made the following response: The captain did have this power, but Niu’s performance at that time was normal. Even now, after the events of July 8 and 12, the public security organs have not decided that she should not take the opportunity. If she flies again, as long as there is no obvious abnormality, the captain has no right to refuse her to fly and ask her to issue a certificate of normal mental condition.

  From "supervisor" to "mental illness", the controversial point of "Air China supervisor" incident has shifted to whether mental patients can board the plane.

  According to Article 34 of China Civil Aviation Passenger and Luggage Domestic Transportation Rules, the carrier shall not carry passengers with infectious diseases, mental illness or health conditions that may endanger themselves or affect the safety of other passengers. Meng Bin, the captain of civil aviation, believes that if passengers are confirmed to have mental problems, airlines can refuse to carry them according to regulations.

  On June 10, 2008, Air China flight CA904 from Los Angeles to Beijing did have a precedent of refusing to carry mental patients. According to media reports, the 13-year-old son of actor Ji Wang, who starred in Peking Man in new york, boarded the plane in the early morning accompanied by his grandmother because of mental retardation, and was later ejected from the plane by the captain for safety reasons.

  Ji Wang once lamented with tears that "it is very difficult to safeguard the rights and interests of a disabled person".

  Mental patients are vulnerable groups, and the controversy caused by this "supervisor" incident has also caused some mental patients’ worries and anxiety to some extent.

  On the afternoon of 15th, screenwriter Li wrote that she had received messages from several netizens with mental illness, fearing that it would affect their normal travel in the future. Li said: "I am very sorry for the trouble and anxiety caused to you. I don’t discriminate against any patient. I just think that special patients who are familiar with aircraft operation and have a criminal record should board the plane when the doctor confirms that they are in a normal state. If the state is unknown, they should be accompanied by a guardian. "

  As the screenwriter Li said, mental patients fly. "If you encounter a grumpy passenger and have a violent conflict with her (Niu Moumou) and even lead to criminal cases, isn’t this risk endangering aviation safety? And she herself may also make other more extreme harmful behaviors. "

  In fact, this is also the public’s doubts and worries.

  Vulnerable groups VS injuries that can’t be avoided 

  On the one hand, it is the legitimate rights and interests of the mentally ill, on the other hand, it is the personal and property safety related to the vital interests of the masses. Who will weigh it? How to weigh? It seems that it is not just as simple as "which is more important".

  Dr. Sun Yi, director of the Judicial Appraisal Department of huilongguan hospital, told CCTV: "Bipolar disorder is a common mental disorder with manic or hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes. During manic attacks, people often have high emotions, increased speech activities (such as talking too much, being difficult to interrupt, sometimes boasting, etc.), full of energy, nosy, many ideas, rapid changes, reduced sleep and so on. During the onset of depression, the mood is low, the sense of happiness is lost, the speech activity is reduced, the reaction is slow, the memory is reduced, and the whole body is weak. There may be a concept of suicide and world-weariness, and there may be self-inflicted suicide. "

  According to statistics, the risk of suicide of patients with bipolar disorder is 10 times that of the general population. 25-50% of patients with bipolar disorder have committed suicide, and 11-19% have committed suicide. Young patients are particularly prone to suicide in the first year after their first diagnosis. Bipolar patients and their families live in pain, and their quality of life is generally not high.

  On April 21, 2011, in Tianchang City, Anhui Province, a poor peasant family, Chong Xiaoyan was suspected of mental illness and was imprisoned in prison for 13 years. Image source: vision china

  Dr. Liu Tiebang, director of Shenzhen Mental Health Center, once said that in essence, many mental patients are full of fear and fear of society, not hostility and attack, so most of them retreat and are isolated from society because they feel that society makes him uneasy. In essence, they are afraid of society.

  Society does not have a correct understanding of mental patients. "Out of ignorance or prejudice, the real society is not friendly enough to mental patients, and even attacks and discriminates against them … …” In this way, the living space of mental patients is further reduced. If there are patients at home, patients and their families will face strong prejudice, discrimination and threats from society and lose a lot.

  Psychopaths fear society. However, the reality of life is that people are "more afraid" of mental patients and call them "unavoidable injuries".

  Searching for keywords such as "mental illness" and "wounding" on the Internet, there are many vicious incidents in which patients with mental disorders assault others.

  On February 9, 2012, in Guangzhou, Lian Riyong had a brain wave examination with the help of a doctor. A Yong, a man from Xinyi, Maoming, was "cranky" after the stimulation of business decline, and often lost control and hurt people everywhere. His father chained his son for 17 years to avoid hurting the innocent, but failed to cure his mental illness by all means. Image source: vision china

  In March 2011, Wang, a suspect in the "airport stabbing case", was identified by the judicial authorities as suffering from schizophrenia; On November 29, 2012, Kang Hongqian, a doctor of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was hacked to death by a patient with an axe. The suspect Wang was confirmed to have a "moderate depressive episode" and had "fantasy of victimization"; On June 3, 2013, a mentally ill man appeared on the street of Minle Road near Fangcheng Middle School in Fangchenggang City, Guangxi Province with a sickle, chasing and chopping pedestrians at will, endangering the safety of middle school teachers and students … …

  According to the data released by the Mental Health Center of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2005), there are more than 100 million patients with various mental disorders and more than 16 million patients with severe mental disorders in China. In other words, one out of every 13 people is mentally ill, and one out of every 100 patients is severely mentally ill.

  Tang Hongyu, deputy director of Peking University Institute of Mental Health, once said, "About 10% of the 16 million patients with severe mental illness have trouble-making behavior and danger."

  According to Outlook News Weekly, after analyzing 1,515 cases of mental illness criminal identification, the Judicial Appraisal Department of Beijing Anding Hospital found that infringing on the person, property and disturbing social management order were the "top three" troublemaking behaviors of mental patients, accounting for 94.1%. If schizophrenia carries out social harm, the possibility of personal injury will be above 50%.

  Fortunately, Niu did not endanger the lives and property of others on the plane, but it also gave us a warning shot. How should mental patients be managed? How to balance public safety and equal civil rights and interests of mental patients? How to ensure public safety while respecting and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of mental patients?

  There is no time to delay reflection before tragedy happens.

  The disease is treated, and the "madness" is controlled.

  Following the incident that Niu Moumou harassed passengers on flight CA4194 on July 8, on July 12, she appeared alone on the plane for "supervision". As a mental patient, why did Niu Moumou travel alone? Why is her family not accompanied?

  "A person with abnormal mental state, who will usually find and intervene?" For the management of mental patients, some netizens questioned the embarrassing state of "no one is in charge beforehand and can’t manage it afterwards".

  According to some media reports, nearly 40% of mental patients really "lack control ability" when committing crimes. It can be seen that it is better to do treatment and supervision in advance, especially treatment — — It is the best preventive measure.

  In 2016, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Regulations on Compulsory Medical Institutes (Draft for Review), which stipulates that there are two kinds of people who need to be admitted under compulsory treatment, one is those who endanger public safety and public order, and the other is those who will do harm.

  During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, especially after the promulgation of the Mental Health Law, various places carried out service management for patients with severe mental disorders. By the end of 2014, there were 4.3 million registered patients with severe mental disorders in China, of which 73.2% patients received follow-up management and rehabilitation guidance services provided by primary medical and health institutions.

  From July 26th to August 2nd, 2018, Zhong Zhao Run, 49, and Yang Jing, 46, were head nurses in the psychiatric department at Tianjin Anding Hospital. Here, they guard a group of special patients, and it is common to be beaten and scolded. Image source: vision china

  Sun Yi told CCTV reporter: "At present, China’s mental health service resources are very short and unevenly distributed. There are 1,650 mental health professional institutions, 228,000 psychiatric beds and more than 20,000 psychiatrists in China, mainly distributed at the provincial and prefecture levels. The community rehabilitation system for mental disorders has not yet been established."

  According to the National Mental Health Work Plan (2015-2020), by 2020, the management rate of patients with severe mental disorders and the treatment rate of schizophrenia will reach more than 80%, and the number of psychiatrists in the country will increase to 40,000, that is, at least 2.8 doctors per 100,000 population will serve everyone. At the same time, grassroots mental health prevention and treatment personnel, psychotherapists and social workers will play a more important role.

  Besides hospitals, can communities and public security also shoulder the responsibility of management?

  Yang Desen, a Chinese psychiatrist, thinks that it is necessary to develop community mental health work first in the study of mental health work at home and abroad at the beginning of this century. "The government needs to further guide the development of community mental health work, advocate the establishment of a variety of community rehabilitation institutions for mental patients, and encourage public and private development. It is necessary to organize a professional team of community psychiatrists to maintain the orderly conduct of community work. "

  However, many experts suggest that the approaches should be diversified. They appealed: "It is far from enough to rely on relatives for the treatment and supervision of patients with severe mental illness. It is necessary for the government to bring the treatment of this group into the vision of national public health investment and really help patients with mental illness, especially patients with severe mental illness, to realize ‘ Illness can be cured, and madness can be controlled ’ 。”

  In the eyes of Wang Shaoli, vice president of Beijing huilongguan hospital, the most ideal model should be: when patients get sick, they will go to specialized hospitals for standardized treatment at the first time; After two or three months of stable condition, transfer to rehabilitation hospital step by step; Finally, go to the community. "Here, every link should be ‘ Seamless handover ’ Yes, to ensure that the patient’s information is smoothly transmitted between institutions, and there are specialized agencies and special personnel responsible for control. "

  As for "Niu Moumou", can I fly?

  Gao Guozhu, an expert in aviation law and director of the Institute of Outer Space Law of Beihang University, told CCTV reporters that we should consider the provisions of the Mental Health Law and the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Persons with Disabilities and seek a balance between public safety and the protection of equal civil rights and interests. It is suggested that mental patients in the onset period are forbidden to board the plane. Patients with stable mental health during the recovery period can buy tickets to board the plane with the permission of the airline company, but safety protection should be done well.

  Wang Zhuqing, an expert in guardianship law and a professor at the School of Law, University of Science and Technology Beijing, told CCTV reporters that mental patients can fly in a stable period, but they should be accompanied by their families. If a mental patient becomes ill during the flight and endangers public safety, it shall be handled by the flight safety officer. It is suggested to establish a blacklist system, adopt the same standards for mental patients and ordinary people, and determine whether to ban them from flying according to the degree of harmful behavior. In terms of responsibility, ordinary people who endanger public safety should bear administrative or criminal responsibility, and mental patients who endanger public safety should receive compulsory treatment.

  According to experts, with the intensification of social competition, psychological disorders such as depression, autism and anxiety will be as common as colds. What worries experts is that there are more than 16 million patients with severe mental illness in China, but only a few can be hospitalized.

  Whether it is the general mental disorder or the "martial madman" as the people say, I believe that a set of social networking intervention mechanisms from family to community, from hospital to public security are the best means to resolve the crisis.

In 2016, the total trade volume between China and countries along the route was 953.6 billion US dollars.

  Chairman of the Supreme Leader pointed out, "‘ Belt and Road ’ What we are pursuing is the great profits of a hundred flowers, not the small profits that stand out from the crowd. " Over the past three years, China and countries along the route have exchanged needed goods, complemented each other’s advantages, shared opportunities and met challenges together. The mutually beneficial cooperative ties have become tighter and tighter, and a win-win partnership network is being woven. Against the background of insufficient momentum of world economic growth, the progress of economic cooperation under the "Belt and Road Initiative" is undoubtedly a rare bright color.

  Through the long yellow sand and the rolling blue waves, the blueprint nodes are turning into prosperous business centers, criss-crossing the ancient Eurasia. In the construction of the "Belt and Road", trade cooperation has achieved fruitful results. In 2016, the total trade volume between China and countries along the route was 953.6 billion US dollars, accounting for 25.7% of China’s trade volume with the world.

  It is worth mentioning that the new format economy represented by Internet companies is also actively laying out and going to sea side by side. Cross-border e-commerce has ushered in explosive growth and has become a new kinetic energy that cannot be ignored in driving trade development.

  Moscow, Russia

  90% of foreign postal parcels come from China.

  Behind the "Communist Youth League Station" of Moscow subway and between the two major passenger stations, there is a conspicuous orange board house. This is the first physical exhibition hall of Alibaba AliExpress Russia.

  Entering the exhibition hall, there are many products made in China, such as "free soldier" outdoor products and Xiaomi mobile phones, in the small space. Alena, a shop assistant, told the reporter that there are endless customers every day. After the manufacturer has reached an agreement with AliExpress, the products can be displayed here, and customers can log in to the online shop of AliExpress by scanning the QR code next to it. "The arrival time of the order has been controlled within 15 days. If it is from a local warehouse ‘ Mall ’ Delivery, then it takes up to 5 days. "

  According to the survey report of Russian Electronic Commerce Association and Russian Post Office, in 2016, the sales of online stores in China accounted for 52% of the total cross-border online trade in Russia, and 90% of foreign postal parcels in Russia came from China. According to the data of Therns Market Research Company in January 2017, the AliExpress platform has 22.2 million users.

  In addition to the increase in figures, AliExpress’s business has also undergone qualitative changes in two years. Today’s AliExpress website is exquisite and atmospheric, and the product name of the machine that makes consumers laugh and cry is no longer seen. It has become history to wait 60 days after placing an order to receive the goods. The "shopping mall" model with guaranteed quality, delivery speed and after-sales service has also become more and more perfect.

  In the spring of 2015, when the reporter interviewed Mark Zavadski, the business development director of AliExpress Russia and CIS, he was still a "army of one". One person was responsible for conducting business in Russia, and other personnel responsible for maintaining AliExpress Russian website were all in Hangzhou. Two years later, AliExpress has a large-scale company and two physical exhibition halls in Moscow.

  This spring, AliExpress is even more active in Russia. Alipay is about to land in China, appearing in duty-free shops and other places where tourists from are crowded. The goods of domestic sellers in 20 Russian big cities will soon be delivered the next day. There are also articles on the internet that teach people to use Taobao to rebate. Zavadski said: "E-commerce has the opportunity to replicate the glory of China in Russia, and may even achieve more achievements."

  At Zavadski’s insistence, Russian local manufacturers and sellers have joined AliExpress. At present, the transaction volume of local merchants has accounted for 5%, and this year, they will jointly launch fans’ clothing with Spartak Football Club.

  AliExpress has set up the "AliExpress Silk Road" group on VK, Russia’s largest social networking site, with the slogan "Bring the best goods like thousands of years ago". The rapid development of AliExpress has impacted and changed the local postal, financial and e-commerce systems.

  According to statistics, in 2016, the scale of cross-border e-commerce transactions in China reached 6.3 trillion yuan. In addition to traditional hot countries, goods from countries along the "Belt and Road" are gradually becoming popular targets of Chinese consumers. Among the users of AliExpress, the proportion of users in countries along the "Belt and Road" exceeded 45%.

  Dubai, United Arab Emirates

  Build a bridge for SMEs’ exports

  In Dubai, the local office of Dalong. com is a bit crowded. More and more local retail store owners come to the door to buy Chinese-made mobile power supplies. "The shape is small and light, the capacitance is not small, and the price is not high. It is very good to sell." A local shopkeeper gave a favorable comment on these mobile power supplies.

  "China’s mobile power supply is delivered directly to our store, eliminating the middleman and reducing the price. Moreover, we can get the goods directly, not look at the picture and place an order. " Another shopkeeper said that China products directly enter the store, which makes people feel "safe".

  Small enterprises that make mobile power supplies can export and deliver them to your door. Why? To talk about this, we have to talk about Chongqing Dalong. com, which specializes in matchmaking for small and medium-sized enterprises and helps them go abroad. Now, many products of small and medium-sized enterprises have been exported to many countries, making local people fall in love with China goods.

  "Let China make a step across the border. This is our goal." Zhu Fuxing, vice president of Dalong.com, said that Dalong.com integrates the global resources of the Belt and Road Initiative. First, Dalong. com integrates overseas retail space to provide domestic enterprises with overseas trial sales opportunities; On the other hand, Dalong. com integrates and organizes the supply of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises to build a bridge for their exports.

  Because most small and medium-sized enterprises do not have the right to export, Dalong. com has built a "channel connection" to provide them with one-stop services such as payment recovery and export tax rebate. The financial person in charge of Dalong.com said: "Now the export orders of small and medium-sized enterprises have surged, and it is definitely impossible to use the traditional export tax rebate declaration method. Now we use the cross-border e-commerce online tax refund system of Chongqing State Taxation Bureau. We fill in the report online and automatically complete the comparison with the customs electronic port information. The whole process can be compressed to less than 7 days, and the cost is further reduced. "

  "In this way, we have solved the obstacles such as high cross-border procurement costs and excessive capital consumption of four types of overseas small and medium-sized offline retailers, online Internet providers, small and medium-sized wholesalers and professional buyers, and can realize the effective docking of China’s high-quality production capacity and overseas demand." Zhu Fuxing said.

  "Just give it a try for the first time, I didn’t expect the effect to be quite good. In the future, we will also serve the Dubai market in a targeted manner. " The relevant person in charge of Chongqing Yunzhong Technology Co., Ltd., which produces mobile power, introduced.

  At present, more than 30,000 small and medium-sized enterprises have begun to "go global" like Yunzhong Technology, among which more than 5,000 enterprises’ products have entered overseas markets. The LED lamps of an enterprise in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province have been sold in batches in Vietnam and other countries, and the sales volume has been rising. Inflators, wire brushes and adjustable wrenches produced in Qingdao, Shandong Province are well received in the UAE. Wedding products from Suzhou, Jiangsu, such as wedding gloves, embroidered skirts and flower baskets, are very popular in Canada, and some categories are sold out … …

  The "New Silk Road" was connected by the "net"

  Zhili Town, Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, this "China International Children’s Wear Capital" has nearly 10,000 children’s wear enterprises, and children’s wear sales have accounted for nearly half of the country.

  On the morning of May 8, when the reporter came to a children’s wear enterprise named Buyi Caoren in the town, I saw that the workers were rushing to produce a batch of new children’s wear, and the target customer was Italy thousands of miles away.

  "Through cross-border electronic commerce, we put children’s clothes along ‘ Belt and Road ’ Sold to Europe and Southeast Asia. " Ma Weizhong, the person in charge of the company, told the reporter that the cross-border e-commerce sales of Buyi Caoren are currently 1,500 US dollars per day, and the products are exported to more than 10 countries and regions.

  In 2015, Ma Weizhong began to think about how to open up international sales channels through the "cloud market" of e-commerce. However, he can speak less than 10 sentences of English, and he wants to understand that the international market is not only "speechless" but also "road-blind". "Later, I found that I don’t have to worry. The city has built a series of cross-border e-commerce service platforms, which provide a lot of valuable information and carry out relevant training according to the needs of enterprises." In October 2015, Buyi Caoren was launched on Amazon, and 200 sets of children’s clothes were exported in less than a week.

  "I referred to the supply and demand information of major platforms and analyzed ‘ Belt and Road ’ Designing products based on market conditions in different countries has achieved good results. " Ma Weizhong told reporters that the government departments also helped to take the lead in coordinating and solving the problem of cross-border settlement of enterprises. "Originally, the handling fee was higher through third-party enterprises, but now the channels of professional financial institutions have been opened, and the single settlement only charges 40 dollars regardless of the amount."

  In recent years, Wuxing District of Huzhou City has built the first county-level international e-commerce application platform in China — — Xing Wu international e-commerce application platform, and set up all the way import and export Co., Ltd., specializing in serving the export of small and medium-sized children’s wear enterprises. Jiao Chenkang, a staff member of the Wuxing District Bureau of Commerce, said that at present, there are more than 100 cross-border e-commerce enterprises cultivated through various platforms in the district, 80% of which are children’s wear enterprises, and the monthly export volume exceeds 10 million yuan.

  “‘ Belt and Road ’ Construction has opened up new ideas for enterprises in our traditional industries. " Ma Weizhong said that he hoped that in the future, the service platform could build a large database of cross-border e-commerce and launch more accurate support policies based on data analysis.

Manchester United suffered a bloody massacre at Crystal Palace, setting a new record of humiliation in team history, and the coach’s tactics caused public outrage.

Manchester United suffered a bloody massacre at Crystal Palace, setting a new record of humiliation in team history, and the coach’s tactics caused public outrage.

In the 36th round of the Premier League that ended last night, Manchester United suffered a 4-0 humiliation at Crystal Palace. This fiasco not only made the Red Devils rank eighth in the Premier League this season, but also set a new record for the team’s 13 defeats in a single season. What is even more unacceptable to fans and the media is that this is the first time that Manchester United has been double-killed by Crystal Palace in the Premier League. This achievement is undoubtedly a great irony to Manchester United, a traditional Premier League giant.

During the game, Manchester United’s performance was a mess. In the first half, Manchester United’s defense was full of loopholes, allowing opponents to easily take a two-goal lead. In the second half, although casemiro scored a goal, it was ineffective because of offside, and Manchester United’s attack was even more disorganized. He was scored two more goals by Crystal Palace and finally lost 0-4.

The tactical arrangement and personnel arrangement of Manchester United coach in this game have been widely questioned. Before the game, some media and fans worried that Manchester United’s midfield pressure would lead to an empty defense. As a result, this concern was verified in the game. Although casemiro is active, but he has limited individual combat ability, he can’t effectively intercept the opponent’s attack after referring to the position of the lower back, which makes Manchester United’s defense even more stretched.

What is even more unacceptable is that Manchester United’s attack has no routine in the game. Garnacho, Anthony and Hoyle, the trio of strikers, lack tacit understanding, and fight for each other, which leads to the low attack efficiency of Manchester United. This kind of performance is undoubtedly a great doubt about the coach’s tactical arrangement ability.

Dong Fangzhuo, an old Manchester United player, also commented on the game after the game, bluntly criticizing the team’s performance and the coach’s tactical arrangement. He said that Manchester United’s current problem is not only injuries, but also the mismatch between the tactical system and the characteristics of players. He called on the team to re-examine their tactics and find the most suitable way to play.

This fiasco is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Manchester United. At the end of the upcoming season, Manchester United needs to adjust its state as soon as possible and find a solution to the problem. Otherwise, such a performance will not only disappoint the fans, but also put this traditional Premier League giant’s position in the league in jeopardy.

Is it unsafe for banks to brush their faces to withdraw money? Experience: if you think too much, you don’t spit money directly.

  Zhongxin. com, Beijing, November 23rd (Wang Jiayu, Li Jinlei) Brush your face is going deep into the lives of Chinese people. Recently, many domestic banks have launched the ATM machine "face-brushing withdrawal" function. So, what is the "face-brushing withdrawal"? What about its security? Zhongxin. com conducted a field visit.

  Experience — — You can withdraw money in half a minute.

  Zhongxin. com noted that recently, a number of banks, including China Merchants Bank and Agricultural Bank, announced the launch of ATM machines’ "face-brushing withdrawal" function in some cities and outlets, which attracted attention.

  So, how should "brush face to withdraw money" operate? What kind of experience? Zhongxin. com came to the business outlet of a bank in Beijing. At present, the outlet has been equipped with an ATM machine with the function of "brushing face to withdraw money".

  Click the "brush face to withdraw money" button on the ATM machine, and enter the face recognition interface, prompting the cashier to look straight at the camera, exposing his forehead, bareheaded, and keeping a distance of 50CM from the camera.

  Zhongxin. com found that face recognition is very fast, only 1-2 seconds. After the face is brushed, the cashier is required to enter the ID number or mobile phone number, and finally enter the withdrawal password to enter the account selection page. After selecting an account, you can withdraw money, and the whole process can be completed in about half a minute.

  So can you brush your face successfully when the cashier wears a hat and sunglasses? When the cashier tried to wear a hat and sunglasses one after another, it was unrecognizable when brushing his face.

  Do you need to open it separately? Is there a limit?

  Regarding whether the face-brushing withdrawal function needs to be opened separately, the customer service staff of Agricultural Bank told Zhongxin.com that "face-brushing withdrawal" does not need to be opened; The customer service staff of China Merchants Bank said that this function needs to be opened. The process is to log in to the mobile banking, click "My"-"All", and click "ATM Brush Face Withdrawal" in the "Assistant" to open it.

  In addition, there is a quota limit for "face-brushing withdrawal". China Merchants Bank’s cumulative withdrawal limit for a single card on the same day is 3,000 yuan; Agricultural Bank of China does not exceed 3,000 yuan per day for a single transaction, 10,000 yuan per day in total, and no more than 5 times per day.

  Investigation — — What do people think of "brushing face to withdraw money"?

  So, what is the public’s attitude towards this convenient function of withdrawing money without inserting a bank card?

  When Ms. Wang, a white-collar worker, first heard about this function, she expressed her concern to Zhongxin. com: "This thing is very dangerous. If you are kidnapped, just take it directly and brush your face without forcing you to say your password."

  Others are not clear about the process of "brushing face to withdraw money", thinking that bank cards still need to be inserted. Some people, like Ms. Wang, mistakenly think that they can withdraw money by brushing their faces without entering other information.

  After the field experience, we can find that, in fact, you don’t need to insert a bank card to withdraw money, but after face recognition, you still need to enter your personal identification information and withdrawal password before you can withdraw money. It’s not what you think, you can withdraw money simply by brushing your face.

  Discussion — — Is it safe to "brush your face to withdraw money"?

  Qiu Xuekan, a visual analysis expert of 360 Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, told Zhongxin.com that "face-brushing withdrawal" uses face comparison technology, that is, whether the face in front of the ATM and the face registered by the user ID card in the system are the same person, before comparison, it is necessary to ensure that the face in front of the camera is real and effective, that is, live detection.

  Regarding whether "face-brushing withdrawal" is safe, the relevant bank told the media that the technology is safe, and it can completely resist photos, face-changing videos, remakes and mask attacks, with high recognition accuracy.

  However, many people are still worried that technologies such as 3D masks may still break through this technology. Qiu Xuekan emphasized that "brush face to withdraw money" does not mean that you can withdraw money by brushing your face, but you can first brush your face and enter your mobile phone number for identity comparison, and then enter your password to withdraw money. Therefore, the role of face brushing is to replace the physical bank card, and the security of withdrawal is still mainly guaranteed by password, and the key is to ensure that the withdrawal password is not leaked.

  Huang Di, an associate professor at Beihang University, said that every technology can’t be perfect, and high-tech technologies have both "attack" and "defense". For any science and technology, attacks with various intentions always exist. After the system is threatened, some emergency plans will be put forward according to the attacks. "Attack" and "defense" can be said to be progressing together.

  Extension — — "Brush your face" has penetrated into the lives of Chinese people

  It can be seen from observation that brushing your face has penetrated into all aspects of Chinese life, such as unlocking your mobile phone, opening the entrance guard, entering the station and ordering food.

  According to media reports, Shandong University has launched a face recognition system in student dormitories, so students can go in and out of the dormitory even without campus cards, and girls can be identified when they make up or remove makeup.

  Some railway stations are also equipped with face recognition systems, and passengers can brush their faces and enter the station, such as Guangzhou South Railway Station, Lanzhou Railway Station and Beijing West Railway Station. Take Beijing West Railway Station as an example, the entrance channel of its North Square has been enabled with "brushing face to enter the station". Passengers only need to place their second-generation ID cards and blue magnetic card tickets according to the prompts, and keep their faces facing the camera for identification. If the ticket holders match, they can pass.

  Data Map: At Guangzhou South Railway Station, passengers enter the waiting hall after being verified by face recognition. China News Service reporter Chen Yushe

  "Brush your face and order food" has also become popular. Alipay launched a "face-brushing payment" service in a restaurant in Hangzhou. After the function is enabled, users only need to bind their mobile phone numbers and "brush their faces" through the payment platform to complete the transaction, and there is no need to worry about the embarrassment of the phone being out of power or forgetting to bring it when paying.

  In addition, there are "face-brushing attendance", "face-brushing accommodation", and face-brushing unlocking of Apple phones … …

  In the list of the top ten breakthrough technologies in the world in 2017 published by MIT Science and Technology Review, the authoritative scientific magazine in the United States, "brush face payment" entered the list.

  In the eyes of the industry, face recognition is progressing continuously, and its application scenarios will be more and more abundant with the improvement of effect and the reduction of hardware cost. (End)

More compatible Cadillac XTS chassis analysis+test drive

Track experience

  Different from the previous track test drive, this time I didn’t focus on experiencing the dynamic performance of the vehicle, but hoped to get an insight into the design characteristics of the chassis structure, such as the influence of the front of the Hiberstrut structure on steering, whether it can avoid steering, and the control of the MRC magnetorheological shock absorber on the body. I almost forgot that the XTS front brake is also equipped with four fixed-caliper brake calipers, which is a serious sports equipment. The test drive model is a 28T leading model equipped with air and MRC active variable dampers.

Is torque steering avoided?

Cadillac GM Cadillac XTS2013 36S Platinum Edition

  The data of 269 HP and 355 Nm is presented by this 2.0T engine carried by XTS. This 2.0T engine with LTG model won the title of Top Ten Engine of Ward in 2013, and it is regarded as the exclusive engine in China market. In terms of power performance, its combination with 6AT gearbox can meet most of the use requirements, but in the state of rapid acceleration, the phenomenon of torque steering is always an unavoidable topic. Can the Hiberstrut structure and the middle part of the long side restrain it?

  The first experience was a failure, because when the vehicle stability system was turned on, no matter how I stepped on the accelerator pedal, the pointer of the tachometer hovered around 2000rpm like lead, and refused to climb first. In this state, the vehicle started naturally.

Cadillac GM Cadillac XTS2013 36S Platinum Edition

  The switch of the vehicle stability system is arranged in the touch button on the central control panel. After the finger is lightly touched, the all-liquid crystal instrument panel shows that the vehicle stability system has been turned off, and then the previous actions are repeated. The difference is that the engine has been able to counter the vehicle braking system at a higher speed, and the subsequent state is expected. The vehicle moves forward in the skid of the tires, and at the same time, the direction of the front of the vehicle has also deviated to a certain extent. At this time, it is necessary to give the steering wheel an opposite force to effectively control the vehicle trajectory.

Cadillac GM Cadillac XTS2013 36S Platinum Edition

  Conclusion Obviously, the structure of the suspension and the universal joint in the middle of the long semi-axle have not completely avoided the torque steering phenomenon, but I believe that the torque steering phenomenon will be more obvious if it is replaced by an ordinary front suspension. In order to prevent this "gaffe" from scaring the driver, it is a very reasonable practice to use the vehicle stability system to limit it.

◆ What is the feedback of the steering wheel?

  The U-bend in the track is the best section to feel the steering wheel return to the normal state. In order to fit the driving state of the road better, the speed of entering the bend is controlled at around 40km/h, and the steering force of the steering wheel is not heavy but still very tight. After passing through bending center, I deliberately reduced my grip strength, and the steering wheel naturally completed its proper righting process, and the rhythm of righting basically kept pace with the acceleration of both cars. From the feedback from all sides, this is not the effect simulated by the electric power steering system.

Cadillac GM Cadillac XTS2013 36S Platinum Edition

  From this point of view, the Hiberstrut suspension structure of XTS adopts a smaller kingpin inclination angle to improve the handling of the vehicle, and at the same time, there is no side effect that affects the driving comfort.

Cadillac GM Cadillac XTS2013 36S Platinum Edition

  Then I repeatedly passed this U-bend at different speeds (the vehicle stability system was turned off). Under normal circumstances, the front-wheel vehicle with too fast speed will understeer and slide to the outside of the track, while XTS, which is also a front-wheel vehicle, is different. Its rear wheel limit seems to come earlier than the front wheel. Therefore, in the limit state, the rear wheel will be slightly active. If the speed is properly controlled, the front of the vehicle can point to bending center conveniently. If the speed is too fast, the rear wheel will swing too much.

  This phenomenon may be related to the body length of XTS. The body length of 5131mm is even longer than that after lengthening. Dragging this rear half will inevitably increase the burden on the rear wheels. In the limit state, it is inevitable that there will be excessive steering.

Is MRC active variable shock absorber effective?

  In order to let everyone better experience the effect of MRC active variable shock absorber, the staff specially placed a series of speed bumps on a straight road. When seeing this situation, I subconsciously stepped on the brake pedal, taking into account the passengers’ feelings. However, the instructions from the hand desk can be passed at full speed, so it is natural to look back and forth after getting such a "exemption clause".

Cadillac GM Cadillac XTS2013 36S Platinum Edition

  After a burst of high-frequency vibration, the vehicle passed the speed bump smoothly. It can only be said that the vehicle did not appear redundant shaking under such continuous bumps, but when dealing with the impact from the speed bump, the vibration was not filtered very cleanly by the suspension.

Cadillac GM Cadillac XTS2013 36S Platinum Edition

Cadillac GM Cadillac XTS2013 36S Platinum Edition

  In contrast, it is easier to feel the existence of MRC active variable damper in continuous corners. Driving into the S-bend at a faster speed, when entering the first bend, with the shift of the center of gravity, the car body appears a certain degree of tilting phenomenon, and the spring supports the tilted car body in this process. In order to make the car body appear a larger tilt to increase the pressure of the suspension, I deliberately cut into the next bend with a larger angle, and the transfer process of the center of gravity to the other side is almost synchronized with the rotation of the steering wheel. After hitting the direction again, it passes through the S-bend smoothly. In the process of shifting the center of gravity, the released spring does not increase the instability of the car body, which ensures the contact area between the tire and the ground to the greatest extent, thus improving the response of the vehicle in corners.

Editor’s summary:

  The front suspension of Hiberstrut structure has found its own position between McPherson structure and suspension of structure. The more compact structure makes it not need to occupy a lot of space like the suspension of multi-link structure, but it can control the wheels more delicately than McPherson suspension. The multi-optimized suspension structure has obviously improved the vehicle’s handling ability, but it has not achieved immediate effect in restraining torque steering. Fortunately, the vehicle stability system can fill such "regret". The suspension combination of MRC magnetorheological shock absorber and air spring equipped with two high-profile models makes the vehicle have different chassis characteristics, which is not only suitable for dynamic and static, but also improves the ride comfort to some extent.

  It can be seen that Cadillac has put a lot of effort into the chassis of XTS, with accurate steering, quick chassis response and certain comfort. However, in my personal feeling, compared with the benchmark at the same level, Cadillac still owes some time in shaping the driving experience, perhaps because of the excessive pursuit of comfort due to vehicle positioning problems, and the information from the road surface is not directly transmitted to the driver, which also loses some driving pleasure. Fundamentally speaking, the chassis design of XTS still retains certain characteristics of American cars. (Photo/Text Li Boxu)

BITECH According to the statistics of the Passenger Association, the retail sales of passenger cars in 2023 will be 2170.3 million, of which SUV models will reach 10.392 million, surpassing cars for the first time to become the best-selling models. Although the car market space is constantly being seized by SUVs and MPV models, it is undeniable that the strength and sales of some cars, especially traditional fuel cars, are still strong. Passat, Camry, Maiteng, etc. are typical representatives. In today’s article, the editor of Easy Car has summarized the key fuel cars that will be listed this year, including the replacement Passat, Maiteng, Camry, Sonata and the new Golf and many other models that have received high attention.

GAC Toyota’s new Camry

Expected IPO time: March

In terms of appearance, the ninth-generation Camry adopts a global appearance. Compared with the current eighth-generation model, the body lines are more sharp and straight, and the front of the car adopts a sunken design, which gives a stronger sense of diving. The C-shaped headlights with a wide trapezoidal middle net give people a feeling of more movement, more fierce, and more aggressive.

On the side of the car body, in fact, the overall line ratio can still be found more or less in the shadow of the current model, but a lot of changes have been made in the details, such as the new rim, the new HEV logo, and the new Cyber gray body color.

The rear part of the car continues to follow the sports style of the whole car. There is a design of a duckling tail on the upper edge of the trunk cover, and the design of the taillights echoes the design of the front of the car. It also adopts a C-shaped design, but I think the less significant thing is that there is no exposed exhaust.

The cockpit has also adopted a new style, with a stronger sense of hierarchy and touch buttons, making it more technological. In order to cater to the domestic car environment, the ninth-generation Camry has also upgraded the capabilities of the entire smart cockpit, equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD screen, AR-HUD, and a 12.3-inch smart central control screen.

The new smart central control screen has a 2K resolution and 8155 chip, with 12G of memory and 128G of storage space, both the boot speed and the speed of opening applications have been significantly improved compared with before. Not only that, it also joined the voice system jointly developed with Huawei, the response speed of voice commands has been increased by 60%, and it supports continuous dialogue, visible speech, and multi-lingual mixed recognition. Not only that, the data shows that the ninth-generation Camry fully supports Carplay, Hi-Car, CarLife and other mobile phone interconnection functions, which can better connect various mobile devices.

In terms of active and passive safety, the ninth-generation Camry has also been significantly upgraded. The first is the airbag. On the basis of the original 10 airbags, a central airbag has been added to prevent the front occupants from colliding and forming secondary injuries in the event of a side impact. Passive safety is upgraded to Toyota Safety Sense Smart Safety 3.0 Enhanced Edition, which not only optimizes the original functions, but also adds the anticipated active driving assistance system, emergency driving stop system, automatic lane change with lights, and early warning of vehicles ahead.

In terms of enjoyment, the ninth-generation Camry has added a 64-color ambient light, fragrance system, and optional panoramic canopy and other configurations to better meet consumers’ tastes.

In terms of ride space, no specific data has been released at present, but from the actual ride performance, it is not significantly different from the eighth-generation Camry and belongs to the category of sufficient.

The ninth-generation Camry offers three power versions, namely the 2.0L + CVT pure fuel version, equipped with the fifth-generation THS hybrid system 2.0HEV version and 2.5HEV version, of which 2.0HEV is the first to appear on the Camry, with a combined power of 145kW and a fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km. It also replaces the previous 2.5L pure fuel version, and the 2.0HEV version will provide better driving pleasure and fuel economy performance.

FAW-Volkswagen brand new Maiteng

Expected IPO time: within the year

In terms of styling, the new Maiteng front face has a more prominent layering. It can be seen that the front grille of the new car is connected to the headlights on both sides. Chrome-plated horizontal strips run through the entire front face, and with a highly visually impactful front surround, it enhances the overall recognition of the front face.

To the rear, the new Maiteng adopts the current popular through taillights, and also adds chrome horizontal strips for embellishment. In addition, the hidden exhaust layout and red reflective strips also make the tail look more visually impactful.

In terms of body size, the new Maiteng length, width and height are 4990 * 1854 * 1487mm, and the wheelbase is 2871mm. In the power part, it is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 162kW.

SAIC Volkswagen’s all-new Passat

Expected IPO time: third quarter

At present, the relevant information and pictures of the domestic new Passat have not been released. According to the official plan, the domestic new Passat is expected to be launched in the third quarter of this year. As a reference, the overseas version of the new Passat has been released in 2023. The new car has been cancelled in Europe, and only the travel version has been retained. There is no doubt that the domestic new Passat will still use the sedan design and become a special model for the Chinese market.

The pictures are all the new Passat overseas version.

In terms of styling, the new Passat is integrated into the new family design language, with a strong ID family style. The front face adopts the classic styling design of the family. A chrome-plated trim strip running through the cover connects the headlight groups on both sides, which is highly recognizable. At the same time, the fuel version and the eHYBRID model are also different in styling details.

The fuel version uses a traditional banner design, while the eHYBRID version looks more sporty. Not only does the lower surround use a grid shape, but also a black sports kit is added on both sides. The Volkswagen brand is equipped with an R logo on the right.

On the side of the body, the through waist line extends from the door to the rear taillights, and the door handles and rearview mirrors are designed in bright black style, which is full of fashion. To the rear of the car, the new car adopts the iconic rear shape of the station wagon, and the small spoiler above adds a lot of sporty attributes to the new car. The taillights adopt the more popular through design nowadays, which has a good recognition when lit, and the silver chrome decoration added makes the rear look more delicate.

Buick Envision S vs. Volkswagen Explorer: Can 1.5T Really Win Over 2.0T After Hardcore Testing?

Nowadays, many car companies like to match different engine power levels according to different vehicle configurations. For example, BMW’s 2.0T is divided into three grades from 18, 20 to 28i, while Volkswagen’s 2.0T EA888 also likes to adjust different power levels to distinguish between different price points. This is the familiar 330TSI and 380TSI.

So who is more powerful between the 2.0T engine with reduced power of the 330TSI and the 1.5T turbocharged engine of the "full blood version"? In order to find out, we compare two mid-size SUVs of the same class and price this time – the new Envision S 1.5T and the Tanyue 330TSI. In the face of a series of hard core tests, which one performs more comprehensively?

The biggest difference between this new Envision S and the old model is the replacement of the Buick Avatar 1.5T engine. Although the price is similar to the Tanyue 2.0T low-power 330TSI model, from the parameter point of view, the Envision S weighs 1710kg, and the new 1.5T engine outputs 155kW power and 270Nm torque, with a general-purpose 9AT gearbox. The weight of Tanyue’s car is less than 1700kg, and the parameters of the low-power 2.0T are 137kW and 320Nm, which match the familiar DSG gearbox.

One has more power and one has more torque.

Of course, since you want to compare the two engines, you must compare them in multiple dimensions. After all, this can better reflect the hard indicators than the technical parameters.

The dimensions involved in this review include the following aspects:

100 km acceleration

● 100 kilometers braking

● Control stability

● NVH

● Fuel consumption

Driving on mountain roads

From the perspective of daily driving experience, because the new Envision S is equipped with an efficient 48V light hybrid system. Although the improvement of light mixing to power will not be too obvious, it can achieve smoother driving at medium and low speeds, and the quality of start and stop has also been greatly improved. The sense of intervention is very slight, so this STT does not need to be turned off at all during daily driving, and it is no longer a tasteless function.

The powertrain of the EA888 + DSG on Tanyue is more familiar to everyone. In fact, the Volkswagen models are very balanced in driving experience, and there will be no obvious problems. However, compared with the Avatar 1.5T + 48V combination of the Envision S, the start-stop quality of Tanyue is much worse, with large or small jitter every time.

However, the DSG transmission is still very smart. It is very easy to follow the car when driving in the urban area. It can match you with the correct gear and power output every time, and the quality of the upshift and downshift is also good. However, everyone knows that the double clutch is not good.

The driving experience of the chassis, I personally think Buick is better. In urban areas, you will often encounter some manhole covers, speed bumps, and damaged roads crushed by trucks. The Envision S can handle these shocks very well, without obvious aftershocks, and is well isolated from the sound of the impact. The sense of advanced is very good.

Although Tanyue was a Volkswagen product, its driving texture did not resemble the chassis performance of a serious European car. Under some undulating roads, the front and rear attenuation balance of Tanyue was relatively poor, and the pitch was obvious. In addition, when encountering some large impacts, Tanyue’s impact was suppressed relatively poorly, and the sound was too loud. At the same time, you could hear the resonance sound of the frame metal, and you felt that the car’s sense of precision and advanced were relatively poor.

Buick’s interior materials have always been very advantageous in the same level, Envision S is no exception, the NVH of the whole vehicle is very good, the sound insulation and quiet performance are completely worthy of this price, the front row is still double laminated glass, so when driving at high speed, in addition to the obvious wind resistance behind the B pillar, the rest like road noise and fetal noise are suppressed better.

Tan Yue’s road noise and fetal noise are slightly larger, and the wind resistance is generally controlled, and obvious wind noise can be heard above 100kph near the A pillar. At the same time, when the vehicle is driving under continuous vibration road surface and large particle asphalt road surface, the vibration and sound of the vehicle are more obvious, and the sound insulation performance of the chassis is poor. Rumbling road noise can often accompany driving.

Regarding fuel consumption, we can’t help but reveal that in the end, we traveled a total of nearly 117 kilometers throughout the day, including urban areas, national highways, highways, and mountain roads. In the end, the Envision S showed fuel consumption of 8.1L/100km, and the Tanyue 330TSI was 8.3L/100km.

And according to the final refueling situation, the actual fuel consumption is calculated, the Envision S is 8.13L/100km, and the Tanyue is 8.33L/100km. The appearance and actual fuel consumption performance of the two cars are very accurate, and the overall fuel consumption difference is not particularly large. Another difference to note is that the Tanyue 330TSI needs to add 95 #gasoline, while the Envision S only needs to add 92 #to eat coarse grains.

Driver’s summary:

Overall, the two cars have similar price and volume, and they are both models with good product power in this class. However, after switching to the Avatar 1.5T engine, the Envision S has a stronger driving texture, better handling experience, and better NVH performance than the Tanyue, and the economy is also better. As a Volkswagen brand product, I personally think that although the comprehensive product power is still very good, at least in the powertrain part, the 2.0T engine is placed in front of the Buick 1.5T engine, and the overall performance gap is regrettable.
