[Editor’s note]2021 is the 170th anniversary of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom jintian uprising. The Paper Liu Chen, assistant professor of the Department of Private History and Peking University History, invited scholars at home and abroad to write a series of manuscripts to introduce readers to the new direction and achievements of the research on Taishi, hoping to help related research.

In the Zhejiang occupied area in the late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there were several local resistance forces led by civilians, the most famous of which were Bao Lishen Tuan Yong, Shen Zhangda Tuan Yong and the bandit troops of Gaitianwang, all of which were over 10,000 people. Generally speaking, the occurrence of these three large-scale mass mutinies is inevitable under the rule mode of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom tribute system in Zhejiang province [that is, collecting tribute from the people and the Taiping Army’s "pioneering" (plundering) and "sending large donations". According to the theory of class analysis, the above three forces are all "reactionary landlords’ regimentation", but in fact, unlike ordinary vigilante groups, they have no direct organizational connection with the Qing government; The main body of its leaders and participants are civilians, which can intuitively reflect the opinions and demands of ordinary people; Moreover, some political hostility consciousness is not obvious in the initial stage. Therefore, through the observation of these three civilian-led events against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, we may reveal the true face of the opposition between the people and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Bao Lishen and the "White-headed Army"

Bao Lishen, also known as "Li Sheng" and "Li Sheng" in historical materials, lived in Bao Village, Zhuji, Zhejiang Province for more than 20 years. He was illiterate. In the notes of scholars at that time and later, unofficial history recorded that he was a farmer, a farmer, a villager, a village tyrant and a family farmer. Not only farming, but also engaged in business. It is recorded that he "tasted selling lime from shoulder to shoulder", which shows that he is probably a yeoman. Bao Lishen’s family background is also not prominent. A family of 17 are all working in rural areas. Among the relatives, Feng Yangshan, a cousin, is only a petty official who has not entered the class. Therefore, it can basically be concluded that Bao Lishen and his family belong to the civilian class.

But he is a "special person" among ordinary farmers, or can be called a "civilian elite". Bao Lishen probably systematically studied some popular witchcraft among the people, and most historical materials think that he once studied daoist magic’s technique. It is not new to use witchcraft to organize the people. The uniqueness of Bao Lishen’s uprising lies in "controlling evil with evil", and he turned the spearhead of his struggle to the Taiping Army, which also started with "witchcraft" and "heresy". It shows that it has certain ability and strategy. Moreover, Bao Lishen has political ambitions. He claims to be "the leader", and his proclamations are all written in Jia Zi, not in the official lunar calendar of the Qing Dynasty, which is deliberately different from the Yong ying organized by Feng Za. Bao Lishen has also received the support of some small and medium-sized intellectuals, such as Zhu Zhilin, Yu Guanying, Fu Guantao and Shen Fangyi, all of whom are gentry. However, these literati are only driven, and most of them are "weak writers", and a few of them are counsellors and military aircraft, and only Bao Lishen is in charge of the overall situation and forbids it. Baocun’s armed forces are private armed groups with Bao’s family as their headquarters, and even the bureau responsible for military equipment is located in Bao Shangjie’s close friend’s home. Therefore, the leading position of "civilian elite" Bao Lishen is unshakable.

In the 11th year of Xianfeng (1861), in September, the Taiping Army defeated Shaoxing and Zhuji, and Bao Lishen used the "witchcraft" as an excuse to swear, claiming to be a descendant of the "White Crane Real Person" and founding the "Whitehead Army", which fought dozens of battles with the Taiping Army. People in neighboring counties have cast their families. In May of the first year of Tongzhi (1862), Li Shixian, Dai Wang Huang Chengzhong, Ti Wang Lian Ye Kun, the first king Fan Ruzeng and Lai Wang Lu Shunde led more than 100,000 Taiping troops to encircle Baocun again, cutting off its water and route for providing foodstuff. On the first day of July, the Taiping Army came out of the tunnel, wiped out Bao Village, and Bao Li died. According to Jiang Yili, then the governor of nursing Zhejiang, there were "14,777 deaths" after Baocun was attacked by Taiping Army. Chiang Kai-shek only refers to the number of deaths in Baocun. Because the war has been delayed for nearly a year, every time there is a war, the dead must be buried; Bao Lishen often led troops to attack, and many people died in other places; Coupled with the deaths caused by non-war factors (such as hunger and thirst, epidemic disease, suicide, etc.), and considering the environmental carrying capacity of Baocun, it is reasonable to have a total of "tens of thousands" people killed. Taiping Army also suffered heavy losses.

As for the cause of Bao Lishen’s uprising, it can be analyzed from two surviving essays. These two essays are programmatic documents of Bao’s resistance to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The first article is Bao Lishen’s campaign against Guangdong bandits. This essay was kept in the "A Brief Account of Yi Min Bao’s Establishment" compiled by Bao Zuqing in Shanyin, and it was signed "Written by Wang Xiaotie in Hangzhou". Its formation time was between the end of the eleventh year of Xianfeng and the beginning of Tongzhi Yuan, which revealed the main reasons for Bao Lishen’s uprising: First, the Taiping Army’s military discipline was corrupted; Second, the Taiping Army exterminated culture and trampled on customs.

The second article is "Dong ‘an Rebel Commander Bao Helped to Tell Qi Xin to Kill a Thief", which is included in Feng’s Huaxi Diary and Shen Zi’s Avoidance Diary in Haining. The formation time of this essay may be a little later than the first one, about shortly before March of the first year of Tongzhi. At this time, the people of Baocun had fought several large-scale battles with the Taiping Army, and both sides suffered casualties. It is inevitable that there are inaccuracies in the rhetoric of a campaign, and such absolute accusations as "regardless", "regardless", "all are", "everywhere" and "do everything" may be exaggerated. For example, the phenomenon of captive soldiers in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom runs through all the time, which is really the harm of the early universal conscription system. However, in principle, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom pursues the conscription system, which is implemented in various places to varying degrees. Therefore, the term "regardless of industrial and commercial farmers, they are taken captive as soldiers" in a campaign is exaggerated. This essay announced the twelve major crimes of Taiping Army: 1. Inciting cults; 2. Indiscriminate killing of innocent people; 3. Adultery of women; 4. Sogon looting; 5. burning houses; 6. wanton abduction of soldiers; 7. Imposition and extortion; 8. cruel punishment law; 9. Extinction of culture; 10. overstepping the name; 11. Destroy Zhongliang; 12. trample on customs. The twelve major crimes can be divided into three aspects: first, the accusation of Taiping Army’s military discipline corruption (sins 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6); The second is the accusation against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom’s economic policy (sin 7); The third is the accusation against the social transformation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (sins 9 and 12). This shows that the main cause of Bao’s uprising lies in the military discipline of Taiping Army and the social, economic and political strategy of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.The remaining charges of inciting cults, cruel punishment, overstepping the name, and harming loyalty (Sins 1, 8, 10 and 11) are hostile to heresy from an orthodox standpoint, which should be the result of Bao Lishen’s intellectuals’ embellishment of the essay.

In terms of content, both essays emphasize that nature is an important reason for Bao Lishen’s trouble-the Taiping Army’s military discipline is corrupted and the customs are destroyed, while the second one emphasizes the economic factors that are almost completely omitted in the first one, which may be the most important thing for Bao Lishen, who is an ordinary peasant. In Bao Lishen’s second essay, there is a long paragraph accusing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of the heavy taxes and fees. Therefore, the peasant resistance movement, which is the largest, the longest lasting and the fiercest struggle in the occupied area of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, has comprehensive inducing factors, among which the root of the people’s resistance lies in the social panic caused by the social and economic bad behaviors that have been or may occur in Taiping Army, such as exorbitant taxes, corrupt military discipline and destruction of customs. At that time, although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied Shaoxing Fucheng and Zhuji County, it did not actually complete the political construction work for the vast rural areas, and most of the social and economic politics were not carried out in Baocun and its nearby areas. The opposition among the people in Baocun mainly originated from panic rather than practical feelings.

To resist tyranny.

Shen Zhangda, the only one in all kinds of historical materials named Huaxi Diary as "Shen Changda", was a vegetable farmer from Ganpu Town, Haiyan County, Jiaxing, who was "gardening for a living" and his family was "destitute". He was 61 years old when he started. Guangxu’s Haiyan County Records recorded its name in the list of Martyrs’ Gentlemen and Soldiers’ Surnames, and specially marked its identity as a "civilian" to show that it really belongs to the civilian class. On May 11th, the 11th year of Xianfeng, Shen Zhangda gathered more than a thousand villagers to the Ganpu Township Official Bureau to question the township official Yao Chengchu. Just when hundreds of villagers in Huangwan also complained, they jointly demolished the bureau house, bound Yao Chengchu and arrested the township official along the way. By May 13th, more than 10,000 rebel teams had gathered, and they cooperated with the Qing army to attack Tongyuan and Yucheng in Haiyan, and returned in defeat. On the 18th, the Taiping Army plundered Ganpu and claimed the first thing. On the 26th, Shen Sui stepped forward and was captured and killed.

The causes of Shen Zhang’s uprising are recorded in Huaxi Diary, which can be roughly divided into four categories: 1. Le Gong. In March of the eleventh year of Xianfeng, the Taiping Army took two grams of sea salt, which was adhered to according to the city. "In May, the thief Le Gong gradually crossed, and Tong Yuan Huang set up a trap from the thief, and paid more than 10,000 yuan in tribute to the seven maps, which was not enough for the people. Haiyan county nuclear office thirty-two thousand, to the seventh day of April, and add fifteen thousand, and want to levy silver, every two or seven discount two thousand and fifty ". 2. Taxation. At the beginning of May of the same year, "I wanted to divide the house numbers, write the number of people, and each card was B yuan and 40 cents, and each person was required to levy 20 articles a day, 100 per kitchen day, and 50 per kitchen." We can see that there are three names: house number fee, per capita tax and kitchen donation. 3. Collect rent after grain. On the ninth day of May, the Taiping Army authorities threatened with guns and boats that "after Tian Yin was chased, the scholars were afraid of the tiger’s potential, and they all lost all their money, and they still issued it as a series of tickets in Xianfeng for ten years, and by the eleventh, they had more than a thousand yuan", and "occasionally some owners took advantage of the situation to collect rent". 4. The township officials are greedy and cool. "chayuan Chen Yuchun … secretly gave directions to do tribute, claiming that he could deceive the public, and from the time of collecting silver, he occupied the bureau with Wang Zhuchuan, a traitor", "Gui Yingshan was also a thief, and first set up the silver bureau in his house, named Liu Quan Pavilion", "Five people visited the rich, and the letter was Shi Shuai, and the house number was set up ……. so the road was fat. If Xu Tu can collect fees item by item, the people may be able to cope, but the deterioration of the situation lies in "the ninth day of May,Unexpectedly, the doorplate, the kitchen expenses and the bank of Waizhuangtian were all launched, starting from the tenth day, without delay. Occasionally, the owners took advantage of the situation to collect rent, and they also threatened to chase it very tightly with guns and boats. "The people had nothing to accuse" and the people were already overwhelmed.

The reasons for the farmers’ resistance in Haiyan can be summarized as the harsh economic policies of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the greed of township officials’ politics. Different from Bao Lishen’s uprising, the root of Shen Zhangda’s uprising lies in the people’s real feelings about the social, economic and political strategy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Among the above two points, the people hate the excessive collection of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom even more; Although the politics of township officials is greedy and cool, it can promote the chaos, but their actions are also the embodiment of implementing the economic policy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Four aspects of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom’s economic policy-paying tribute, taxation, paying off grain and collecting rent, in which paying tribute is the key to the antagonistic behavior of Haiyan people. Guangxu’s Haiyan County Records states that "from time to time, the thief’s first name, Kwai Tian Yu, came to the city to secure the public, called on the officials and people, and ordered the county to send high officials to invite people to do things, so sophistry would not disturb the place. A few days later, the four townships were ordered to contribute, and there was no empty day to chase. Zhang thief forced a huge sum of money to Nanxiang, and the women learned to take off their hairpin, and the scholars all hated it. " Grain and rent collection were not the main factors that triggered the revolt of Haiyan farmers. Although Haiyan authorities tried to restore the traditional social and economic order in the spring and winter of the eleventh year of Xianfeng, due to the constraints of subjective and objective environment, the collection of land tax in Haiyan area was not fully launched until December of the first year of Tongzhi, but the implementation was not good, and the traditional social and economic order failed to become the mainstream of the administration of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In April and May of the eleventh year of Xianfeng on the eve of the Shenzhang uprising, the official land tax and rent policy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had not been officially promulgated, and the collection work had not been fully launched.

The main cause of the Shenzhang incident was that the people could not bear the economic burden of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In all kinds of economic burdens, Le Gong of Taiping Army is the main aspect, and people’s resentment is boiling, which is aroused by Shen Zhang’s great enthusiasm and eventually leads to drastic changes.

"King Gai" who is troubled by "salt" and "food"

The uprising of "Gai Tianwang" was also forced by the participants’ real life. In August of the second year of Tongzhi (1863), Yan Xiao and Chen San gathered to revolt. "Gai Tianwang" is not the code name of the leader, but the spiritual symbol of the uprising team. The rioters gathered at the Three Temples in Huangwan, Haining, and pushed the three gods in the temple to be kings. "The so-called Gai Tianwang is also the Emperor Wu of the Yuan Dynasty in the temple." By September, there was a rumor among the people that "Gai Tianwang" was recruited by the Qing army in Shaoxing. The authorities in Jiaxing and Haining of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom arrested the troublemakers, but the results were not great. In October, the hungry people gathered more and more. "The hungry people were recruited, and the investors did not count, totaling more than 10,000." The Taiping Army "was also afraid of the situation and dared not move." Until the end of the rule of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this local force, which is mainly composed of hungry people, has not been completely dispersed.

The team of "Gai Tianwang" is often called "bandits", but they have obvious political demands like Yong Ying, such as "flagging openly" and "uprising in the temple". The targets of the struggle are directed at the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and the Taiping Army, looting local banks, appraising villages, mountain products banks, etc., as well as township lawsuits, centurions’ homes, and even delivering documents to Zhejiang general He Xinyi to borrow food. Why are you afraid of it? On the 10th day of November, the second year of Tongzhi, the leader, Chen Sanyatou, led more than 1,000 people to fight with the Taiping Army in Huaxi towns, killing more than 30 people of the Taiping Army all the way, burning the cards at the city’s tip, burning the township official bureau, and attacking the Taiping Army camp at Zhuziqiao and Hualongqiao. Therefore, the team of "Gai Tianwang" is by no means a general bandit who robs houses and houses, and can be regarded as a "vigilante" and "uprising".

The "Gai Tianwang" incident is a typical case in which farmers in the occupied areas of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rose up and rebelled because of famine and hunger. In December of the second year of Tongzhi, the Tongxiang authorities of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom arrested three "Gaidang", and after being interrogated by the military commander Yao Futang, they recorded the following confession: "I was hungry and cold, so I planned to rob. ….. I wait for righteousness, so the robbery is selfless. If we are hungry, we will die. If we die, we will fight to kill. If the root cause is investigated, then the gods can’t get it; If you punish the party and the party, it will be everywhere, not less than tens of thousands of people, and you can’t win. " It’s hard to imagine that this generous statement of "people fear not death is afraid of death" came from bandits who were characterized as "rebellious" by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, but their background of starving people and their motivation to stand up for survival actually added some justice to this incident.

The formation of the hungry people is that the land can’t be cultivated because of the backward flow of seawater into the inland. "After the seawall falls, the brine in the paddy field can’t be planted, and the residents no longer eat grain. Because of the robbery, the number of people attached to it is increasing." The unemployment of salt vendors was attributed to the implementation of the public monopoly system of salt by the Taiping Army authorities, which led to the salt vendors’ no profit, so they made a living by looting. Salt monopoly system has existed since ancient times, and salt policy is a national plan, which was attached great importance by successive governments, and so was the Qing government. In the Qing Dynasty, the salt law was mainly in the form of official supervision and commercial operation, and private salt was repeatedly banned. However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom implemented a complete monopoly, with township officials as daily managers or full-time managers, and the right to sell salt was returned to local governments. Banning the smuggling of salt can not only curb the loss of national wealth, but also prevent businessmen from hoarding and profiteering from it. It is understandable that successive governments have strictly enforced it. However, salt is a daily necessity of the people. The government monopolizes the price increase and makes profits on behalf of salt merchants. Not only are ordinary businessmen unprofitable, but even the basic needs of ordinary people’s families are deeply affected. For example, the "salt fee" levied in Changshu and Zhaowen is completely unfair and can only intensify social contradictions.

"King Gai" was troubled by "salt" and "food", which are the most basic needs of the people. It can be seen that the governments of Haining and Haiyan Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have not even completed the basic social appeasement. Although the political nature of the whole incident against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is remarkable, it cannot conceal the simple original intention of the people to join in the resistance, that is, to survive. Compared with the other two incidents, because the composition of this bandit team is basically people struggling on the verge of death, the color of "officials forcing the people to rebel" is even stronger.

It needs to be specially explained that because of the strong nature of the civilian-led militia, it is easy to misunderstand their battle with the Taiping Army as "farmers beating farmers". Jane Youwen once said: "Is it because most of the Taiping Army soldiers are farmers, so it is called the peasant revolution?" However, aren’t the Hunan soldiers who attacked and destroyed the counter-revolutionary Taiping Army farmers in Xiangxiang area? It is clear that farmers beat farmers. "(Jane’s essay: A Complete History of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Volume I, Hong Kong: Jane’s Rushing into the Bookstore, 1962, with preface and supplementary note on page 3)The soldiers and brave fighters of the regiments led by the Qing army and local gentry also come from the people. Under the control of various political forces, there will be fundamental conflicts between the Taiping Army and their classes and interest groups, and most of the people who participate are organized. The interests and political demands of organizers and leaders are not exactly the same as those of the vast majority of the people. Therefore, this kind of opposition can not be completely regarded as the opposition between the people, but more of a political opposition between leaders. For these civilian-led resistance teams, their leaders and main participants are all from ordinary people, and their demands are relatively consistent, and the interests represented by the leaders and organizers have not been obviously alienated in the resistance. Therefore, the opposition between the civilian-led resistance team and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can be regarded as the opposition between the people and the ruling class of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but it cannot be regarded as the opposition between the people and the people.

Compared with Bao Lishen, Shen Zhangda and Gai Tianwang, the three causes of armed incidents led by civilians, whether due to social panic or practical tyranny oppression, all reflect the simple original intention of the people to survive and seek security, that is, the content of resistance is basically an economic issue related to people’s livelihood. Although the specific protest content of each incident is different due to the type of incident, the place of occurrence and the socio-economic background, and the focus of the causes is also different, the people’s dissatisfaction with the social, economic and political strategy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom through the actual actions of resistance is consistent, and the common protest content is such as economic policies such as donation and contribution, as well as the principles, methods and effects of policy practice. From the analysis of the object of protest, the main object of protest of the people is the township officials. The greed and disorder of township officials’ politics-the deviation of policy implementers-are the common factors that form these protest events, but the township officials’ politics of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom mainly focuses on the practice of Taiping military authorities in economic policy. It can be seen that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not realize the transformation and alternation between the old society and the new society in the occupied areas, on the contrary, it regressed from the old social order. The disadvantages of the parallel social order of tribute system and the traditional social and economic order were constantly exposed. In some areas, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not even maintain the basic livelihood, which inspired the people to resist the social, economic and political strategy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This shows that the opposition between ordinary people and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is mainly the opposition of their own interests, not the opposition of political positions. Therefore, as long as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can safeguard the interests of the general public, it can win the initiative in the long-term anti-Qing war. In the early days,The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom described and promised a complete and beautiful vision for the general public, which represented the interests of the general public to a certain extent, so as to widely mobilize the people to join the rebellion, which was unprecedented in scale and intensity and dealt a heavy blow to the decadent Qing Dynasty. However, under the conditions of long-term war, the policies and measures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the performance of government officials at all levels and Taiping Army officers and soldiers at all levels may deviate from these goals, triggering political resistance events led by civilians like Bao Lishen, Shen Zhangda and Chen Sanyatou. This shows that the grass-roots governance of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did have serious problems of irrationality and violent oppression.

Special topic: Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan

　　On May 14th, Premier Wen Jiabao visited Beichuan Middle School in Beichuan County, Sichuan Province in the earthquake-stricken area to guide disaster relief. China News Agency issued Zhonglian for photo

　　On the afternoon of May 14th, Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council visited the victims in Yingxiu Town, the hardest hit area. China News Agency issued Liu Zhen photo

　　BEIJING, May 18 (Xinhua)-On the 12th, after the strong earthquake in Sichuan, China, the State Council Prime Minister Wen Jiabao immediately rushed to the disaster area to guide the earthquake relief work, and was struggling to command, dispatch and express condolences everywhere. On the 18th, Singapore Lianhe Zaobao published an article signed by Zhou Zhaocheng, saying that "it is difficult for China’s prime minister" and "Chinese-style prime minister can’t be copied, and he can’t learn if he wants to".

　　The following is the abstract:

　　Whether Hurricane Katrina hit the United States in 2005 or the Indonesian tsunami at the end of 2004, few leaders in other countries in the world will personally serve as the commander-in-chief of disaster relief in addition to rushing to the scene to inspect the disaster situation and sympathize with the masses.

　　After all, the former belongs to political responsibility, while the latter belongs to professional field.

　　In the first four days of China earthquake relief, Wen Jiabao almost moved most of the State Council to Sichuan. He himself has been in the disaster area only a few hours after the earthquake, and the State Council Secretary-General Ma Kai and Public Security Minister Meng Jianzhu have been with him. Vice Premier Hui Liangyu also arrived later. At the meeting of the State Council Earthquake Relief Headquarters held on the train in Sichuan on the evening of May 15th, he also saw many ministers such as Minister of Education Zhou Ji and Minister of Industry and Information Technology Li Yizhong.

　　Wen Jiabao went to the front line personally, and he struggled to command, dispatch and offer condolences everywhere. In the social environment of China, the presence of the Prime Minister, in addition to improving the response efficiency, striving for prime time, urging local officials to make decisions on the spot to solve problems, went to the disaster area at the first time to direct disaster relief and sympathize with the people, which was a great spiritual force for the stability of the disaster area and the people of the whole country.

　　The post of Premier China has been endowed with the image of being conscientious and conscientious since the Zhou Enlai era. The word "Premier Zhou" is not only the eternal commemoration of Zhou Enlai by a generation of Chinese, but also the moral yardstick and comparison for his successor.

　　On March 8, 1966, a strong earthquake of magnitude 6.8 occurred in Xingtai, Hebei, China. On March 9, March 10, and April 1, Zhou Enlai braved the aftershocks to visit the earthquake-stricken areas three times, braved the cold wind, stepped on the rubble, entered the shack, went down to the cellar, consoled the sick and wounded, stood on the wooden box and shouted to the villagers, and also led the masses to shout slogans: "Self-reliance, hard work, development of production and reconstruction of homeland".

　　This is the channel and way of communication between the top leaders of the CPC and the people in times of crisis in the 1960s. There is no distance between the two sides, and they are full of trust. Compared with the Tangshan earthquake in 1976 and the earthquake in 2008, the rescue ability has become stronger, the handling method has become more open and transparent, the public opinion has become more free and open, and the national disaster relief mechanism has become more effective. However, the language, condolence gesture and encouragement method of the Prime Minister’s communication with the affected people have been consistent since 30 or 40 years ago, and there is not much difference.

　　When Wen Jiabao shouted to the victims that "the Party and the government have not forgotten you", when Wen Jiabao said to the rescue forces that "they are not afraid of sacrifice and fatigue", when Wen Jiabao told the whole country in front of the TV camera that "the broad masses of soldiers and civilians are United and United, we will certainly be able to overcome this particularly serious earthquake disaster". The people who are suffering in the disaster area and the people in other parts of China who feel the same pain have heard the warmth and firmness from such hoarse and trembling voices.

　　These political discourses, once the disaster strikes, the propaganda of political leaders has a strong mobilization force, so that the political language with "China characteristics" can play a great role in encouraging the people in the disaster areas to ease their anxiety and fear and not despair about the future; People involved in disaster relief can also be inspired to fight and fight together. "People’s life is above everything else", "heart to heart with Wenchuan people" and "one party is in trouble and all directions support", these slogans and banners, which appear to be cliché s, have a strong spiritual incentive effect.

　　People’s Liberation Army and Armed Police soldiers marched for tens of kilometers to the disaster area and rescued the victims day and night. In addition to the humanitarian spirit, they also pursued ideals and glorious beliefs. The words "military and civilian family" and "people’s soldiers" made them unforgettable. When Wen Jiabao choked up and comforted the children and said, "Don’t cry, son", the concept of "people-oriented" will not just stay in the meeting communiqué and party newspapers and periodicals.

　　Premier China, as the top leader of the ruling party, not only manages the daily affairs, but also needs to be the implementer and executor of the ideals and principles of the party, or the exhibitor, to prove that these political discourses are not forms or rhetoric, but the beliefs that the ruling party adheres to.

　　Chinese premier can’t be copied, and he can’t learn if he wants to.

Ted bundy (,November 24, 1946-January 24, 1989).

The handsome man in the photo has neat hair, confident charm and even a smile on his face. If we don’t mention his identity, we may guess that this is an elite with high IQ.

However, he is the most notorious serial killer in America and one of Hannibal’s archetypes-ted bundy.

Ted bundy, formerly known as Theodore Robert Courvill, was a serial killer who was active from 1973 to 1978.

He was cold-blooded, cruel and cunning, and committed crimes across six States, killing more than 30 young women he had never met, without a single witness. After his arrest, he completely denied his crimes, and it was not until more than ten years later that he admitted that he had committed more than 30 murders. However, the real number of victims is still unknown, and it is estimated that the number ranges from 26 to 100, with a general estimate of 35. Usually, Band-Aid will stick the victim and then strangle him. He also committed rape and necrophilia.

He is extremely cunning, relying on his training in law school, always arguing innocence in the face of conclusive evidence from the police and forensic doctors, and playing with the law, playing with judicial personnel and even his own team of lawyers, so that the judgment and execution have been postponed several times, and it has been delayed for more than ten years, and he has repeatedly waited for an opportunity to escape. Finally, at the end of his rope, he suddenly announced that he had actually killed more than 300 people …

Before his last arrest in February 1978, he escaped from prison twice. Finally, he was executed in the electric chair in Florida in 1989 for his last murder.

Ted bundy and his tools and fingerprints.

Ted bundy didn’t put the American police at ease until he died. Not only that, more than 30 years after he was sent to the electric chair, there are still journalists investigating him, psychologists analyzing him and judicial people studying him.

As we can see in the photo, this murderous psychopath has two faces. When he is in a crowd, he has extraordinary speech and charming humor; He is an outstanding graduate of a famous university, majoring in law and psychology; He has a girlfriend and a warm family. Ironically, Ted also worked for the Seattle Crime Commission, and wrote a pamphlet to prevent rape, which was a voluntary publicity for the citizens.

His psychology professor praised him and wrote in a letter of recommendation:

"Mr. Band-Aid is undoubtedly one of the best graduates in our department. I think he is one of the best graduates I have ever seen in Washington University. He is smart, capable, active and serious. He is more like a professor than a student. He is studious, easy to get along with, and will work hard … "

Demons around me

(America) by Ann Ruhr, translated by Xu Fangfang.

Writers Ann Ruhr and Ted met in 1971, and their friendship and correspondence ran through the rest of his life. In the meantime, she is not only his friend, but also a criminal reporter looking for a vicious serial killer. She used Ted’s description of his double life, plus she tracked the police’s detection work, court trials and media reports in many places, and strung Ted’s whole life story in all directions with rich details.

This is the new book "The Devil Around Me" recommended for everyone today.

The Devil Around Me is a classic true crime work, and it is a crime investigation note and memoir written with first-hand information. When it was first published, it was among the best in the list of real crime works in Britain and America. It has been reprinted for many years and has been made into many film and television works.

Ann Ruhr (1931-2015), Ann Rule. She majored in minor psychology, criminology and penalty, and completed the courses of crime scene investigation, public security management, crime scene photography and arrest, search and seizure, and obtained a degree.

As a certified lecturer, she lectured in several states, including: serial murder, sadistic antisocial personality, femicide and performance criminals. She is a member of the task force of the U.S. Department of Justice that formulated the Violent Crime Arrest Plan (VI-CAP), and has twice testified before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on issues such as victims’ rights and the danger of serial killers.

Author Ann Ruhr is known as "the best true crime writer in America". After leaving the police force, she volunteered at the Seattle Crisis Hotline, and she gradually realized that Ted, who volunteered with her, was the serial killer that the police were tracking.

As a gripping and explosive classic of real crime, The Devil Around Me captures the psychology of ordinary people-everyone wants to know whether there is a monster living around us or even getting along with us day and night.

For years, Ann Ruhr has been receiving letters and emails from fans in ted bundy. It is incredible that such a murderous maniac has many admirers, but it is not unexpected. Today, I will share with you the frequently asked questions about ted bundy that Ann Ruhr answered in her book, and walk into the double-faced life of this killer.

Ted Ted Bundy.

Frequently asked questions about ted bundy.

Excerpt from "The Devil Around Me"

(America) by Ann Ruhr, translated by Xu Fangfang.

I get emails asking about ted bundy every week, and some of them are repeatedly asked. I will try my best to answer, but these are only my personal opinions based on what I have learned in these years.

Who is Ted’s biological father?

This point has never been actually confirmed. His mother Eleanor Louise Cowell only said that Ted’s father was a "sailor", and his birth certificate stated that his father was Lloyd Marshall, a 30-year-old air force veteran who graduated from Pennsylvania State University. The name Jack worthington also appeared in the column of his father’s name. On November 24th, 1946, Ted was born in Burlington, Vermont, "Elizabeth Lund’s Home for Unmarried Mothers", and the words "born out of wedlock" were printed on his birth certificate.

Many people feel that Ted was born of incest between his notoriously grumpy grandfather and his mother. As far as I know, blood samples have never confirmed or overturned this point, and DNA testing technology is only 50 years later. Ted used many names: Cowell, Nelson and Band-Aid, and he stole many names to hide his identity during his escape.

Ted Bundy

Ted bundy is really in prison.

Did you become a father while serving your sentence?

Yes, I believe so. A frequent visitor to Rayford Prison in Stark, Florida, told me that in the early 1980s, prisoners raised funds to bribe prison guards, giving them time to make out with female visitors alone. No matter whose turn it is, you can have enough hidden space and time to get your wife or girlfriend pregnant. In addition, it is said that the baby girl born to Carol Ann Boone looks like Ted.

Carol Ann Boone

Where are she and her daughter now?

I have been trying to avoid any news about Ted’s ex-wife (who divorced before Ted was executed) and children, and I feel that as long as I don’t know, I will never inadvertently reveal any details about their privacy in the media. I heard that Ted’s daughter is a kind and clever girl, but I don’t know where she and her mother live now. They’ve suffered enough.

Meg Anders and her daughter—

The little girl who used Ted as her father in the 1970s—

Where is it now?

I also try not to know about Meg and her daughter. Her daughter is about 40 years old now. Meg wrote a book titled "The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy" under the pseudonym of "Elizabeth kenyon" many years ago, which was published by a small publishing house in Seattle. Now the publishing house has closed down and the book has been out of print for many years.

To my surprise, I recently received a phone call from Meg’s daughter Lian Anders (a pseudonym). It turned out that Ted had done her great mental harm. Lian said that she always had a lingering guilt about the young girls killed by Ted, as if she had any way to stop him from killing people.

I told her that she was not responsible for what Ted did. At the time of the incident, she was just a little girl, a little girl who once loved and trusted him. Maybe one day, she will write down these feelings. I hope "Elizabeth kenyon" can see her book reprinted.

Meg Anders and her daughter

Has ted bundy ever been cleared of murder?

Officially, maybe once or twice. I believe that in December 1973, Ted picked up Katharine Merry Devon in the university area and killed him. Her parents and many detectives also thought that Ted did it. However, because her murder case has never been solved, there is a "dormant" suspect who has been watched by agents under the sheriff of thurston County, Washington for 28 years. This man, William E. Costen, has a criminal record of rape in Maryland, and was once accused of rape and murder, but was finally acquitted.

In March 2002, the DNA extracted from Katharine Merry’s body and clothes was compared with that of Kosden, and the results were completely consistent. Costen thought he could get away with it. At that time, he went to city of olympia to visit his relatives who opened a gas station, and the 14-year-old girl who hitchhiked from Seattle just got off here. He met her at the gas station, and she believed him.

Costen is now properly locked up in prison.

Is ted bundy a good man or not?

No.

Are you afraid to stay with ted bundy, especially alone in the crisis clinic?

Say it again, don’t be afraid. I have always been proud that I can detect the abnormal behavior of others, which is not only a natural ability, but also depends on acquired experience and training. But for a long time, I secretly blamed myself, because I didn’t see anything threatening or disturbing from Ted’s appearance. He is very kind to me, cares about my safety, and seems to be very considerate.

My only clue is my dog. It likes everyone, but it doesn’t like Ted at all. Every time he leans over my desk in the crisis clinic, the dog growls and the hair on the back of his neck stands on end.

One thing you can learn from this is: please pay more attention to your dog!

Stills from the movie Hachi: A Dog’s Tale.

Don’t you think ted bundy?

Should be commuted to life imprisonment,

Let a psychiatrist study it?

No, I don’t think so. Ted will try to escape again, and it will become more dangerous. He has fooled many smart and experienced people (including me), and he is fully capable of this. It’s too risky to do so.

What is Ted’s IQ?

According to the wexler Bellevue Intelligence Scale, Ted’s IQ is 124. This level is enough to graduate from college or get a higher degree, but he has never done a genius intelligence test.

Where is ted bundy buried?

No one knows except those closest to him. The body was cremated, and he asked that the ashes be scattered in the cascades Mountains in Washington State. This may be a wise choice, because the tomb is highly recognizable and may be damaged at any time to vent their anger.

Are you in love with ted bundy?

No. Thankfully, I’ve never had a crush on Ted except as a friend. In the 1970s and for a long time after that, I fell in love with a murder detective. This year, I received an email from a girl, and I was shocked to learn that her professor told her classmates: Ted and I are lovers and are going to marry me. This is purely a rumor, and I must follow it up immediately! With the help of my editor, we found an advertisement on eBay selling a second-hand book of mine. The seller missed two sentences in the book review, which completely changed its meaning. When I mentioned the relationship between Carol Ann Boone and Ted, I misused my name and it was passed around on many websites. This is so embarrassing. It’s totally wrong.

Ted and Carol Ann Boone

Ted bundy is really crazy, isn’t he?

No, he’s not crazy. Please refer to the first part of this chapter.

The following is taken from an email I received yesterday:

I read in many newspapers that in July 1986, the death penalty in Band-Aid was suspended 15 minutes before the execution. In October of the same year, it was suspended seven hours before the execution. Are these reports true or just media hype? Besides, if ted bundy had only 15 minutes or 7 hours to live, why didn’t he plead guilty until January 1989? Did his lawyers assure him that he would not be executed? Why did he choose to wait instead of playing this trump card in 1986? How did he know that he would not be executed?

In 1979, ted bundy was in court.

First of all, he didn’t show up 15 minutes before the execution in July 1986. In fact, not 15 minutes, but 15 hours. In November of the same year, he did appear seven hours before the execution, and his lawyer filed 18 appeals that time. I think he may feel invincible and always get another chance. However, he can’t be 100% sure that he won’t sit in the electric chair every time he arrives at the scene.

He took a risk and got what he wanted. However, neither I nor anyone else could say what Ted thought then (or now).

This leads to the next most common question:

What kind of person is ted bundy?

I don’t know. He has different faces in front of different people. He is both an actor and a liar, a thief and a killer. He is also a schemer, a stalker and even a magician. He is clever, but not brilliant. He is doomed.

I don’t think even Ted knows what kind of person he is.

Next, let’s tell the story of this man named ted bundy from the beginning.

　　CCTV News:On April 10th, the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference. Ren Hongbin, Assistant Minister of Commerce, and Li Xinggan, Director of Foreign Trade Department, introduced relevant measures to stabilize foreign trade and answered questions from reporters.

　　Ren Hongbin, Assistant Minister of Commerce, introduced that in order to promote the development of cross-border e-commerce, the State Council has introduced a series of policies and measures to support enterprise development, mainly in three aspects:

　　First, in terms of taxation, for the goods that the e-commerce export enterprises in the comprehensive test area have not obtained valid purchase vouchers, the tax exemption policies for value-added tax and consumption tax will be tried out according to the regulations, and at the same time, the approved collection methods for enterprise income tax will be implemented, and the income tax will be levied at the lowest taxable income rate of 4%, which has solved the industry’s concern that the tax burden will be too heavy due to the lack of input invoices.

　　Second, in terms of supervision, the cities where the qualified comprehensive test area is located can be included in the pilot scope of cross-border e-commerce retail import, and the bonded stocking business can be carried out. The imported goods are supervised according to personal use items, and the preferential tax rate is applicable within the trading limit.

　　Third, in terms of facilitation, the application of "simplified classification and list clearance" will increase the single transaction limit of cross-border foreign exchange payment by payment institutions, simplify the procedures for the receipt and payment of small and micro cross-border e-commerce goods, and give priority to the establishment of facilitation measures such as the International Mail Exchange Bureau.

In Mianyang, Sichuan, the scientific and technological sightseeing projects represented by China "Two Bombs" City and Science and Technology Museum are favored by the citizens, and everyone feels the charm of science and technology during the visit experience.

In Huaizhi Service Area, which focuses on tea culture, visitors can not only enjoy tea and relax, but also watch performances and experience intangible skills.

When careful people pass by the Ruichen International Center in Tuanjiehu, they will find a different "Guanshi Wing Bar" on the second floor on the west side. Logo is uncharacteristically not red, but navy. Yes, there is no doubt that this store is Guan’s wing bar, the 38th direct chain store in Beijing-Tuanjiehu Ruichen International Center Store. Up to the second floor, full of Guan’s red immediately.

"Catering is a real conscience. Guan’s food can only be given to customers if you dare to eat it yourself and give it to your family. "-GuanShi wing founder tube its soldiers.

Guanshi Wing Bar has now opened 40 direct chain stores in Beijing, and has its own central kitchen, and invested 170 million yuan in Shunyi District to establish Guanshi headquarters base, modern central kitchen and Guanshi logistics company. In order to ensure the quality, Guan’s wing bar is never open to join, and all stores are direct chain stores!

"My initial intention of starting a business is not to deceive: first, not to deceive customers, and second, not to deceive employees. "-GuanShi wing founder tube its soldiers.

In 1997, although his soldier was only 17 years old, he left his hometown and went to Beijing to work hard.

"Son, I’m not ashamed that you can’t earn money to beg for food outside; As long as you don’t break the law, steal or rob, it will do. If you steal and rob, earn more money outside, and I know when I come back, I can’t look up and be a man. " Before he left, his father’s exhortation was deeply imprinted in his young heart and became the criterion for his future life and work.

At that time, the barbecue market in Beijing was in chaos, and mutton was mostly mixed with duck, pork or other lower-priced meat. People don’t dare to eat more barbecue. If they really want to eat, they buy one or two strings to relieve their hunger. Guan Qi’s soldiers set up a roadside stall at the west gate of Ditan to sell mutton kebabs. He kept in mind his father’s exhortation, grilled the kebabs until 1-2 pm every day, closed the stall and went home to sleep for 2 hours. He got up at 4 o’clock on time to buy fresh mutton and went to a regular store to buy salad oil. Customers can naturally eat good ingredients. Although the stall is small, the business is very hot. Many customers are full of 10 or 20 strings.

"Since the barbecue industry is chaotic, I will standardize and standardize it so that more people can eat clean and safe kebabs." -Take care of the wings. The founder takes care of the soldiers.

The first store of Guanshi Wing Bar was established in 2006 at Di ‘anmen, at the foot of Beijing Imperial City, and then opened one a year later, and opened a fire house! However, Guan Qibing didn’t lose his way, and he focused on barbecue day after day, constantly improving the raw materials and taste of Guan’s roasted wings. He knows that the great dream in his heart has not yet come true.

The stage is as big as the heart.

In September 2018, when Guan Qibing had only 12 stores, Guan’s catering headquarters, pharmaceutical-grade modern central kitchen and Guan’s logistics company were established in Shunyi District, Beijing, which were used to produce and distribute standardized and standardized skewers to their stores, making a big step forward to their dreams.

Subsequently, Guan’s wing bar set up a roasted wing research institute with Guan’s soldiers as its president, and created nine standards for roasted wings: material selection standard, wing selection standard, cooking standard, cleaning standard, knife changing standard, pickling standard, wearing standard, distribution standard and baking standard.

1. Material selection criteria-go deep into the origin and trace back to 19 kinds of raw materials. The rich fragrance comes from the original taste of the ingredients, and the industrial flavor is rejected;

2, wing selection criteria-carefully select 25-30 grams of chicken wings, chicken skin and chicken ratio of 2:8, after hundreds of tests, this ratio of chicken wings is more suitable for barbecue, taste better;

3. Cooking standard–all raw materials are matched in proportion with Guan’s secret formula and cooked accurately for 45 minutes;

4, cleaning standards-modern central kitchen 4 degrees Celsius low-temperature bubble surfing cleaning for 4 hours, completely remove blood;

5. Standard for changing knives–instead of traditional flower knives, advanced technology is used to evenly punch holes to ensure the taste of pickling and baking;

6, curing standard-vacuum equipment rolling massage 3000 times, curing more evenly in vacuum;

7. Wearing standard–handmade, wearing a string is called a string; Strictly control the distance between the two sticks and the roasted wing to ensure smoothness and symmetry and uniform heating during baking; Microbiological laboratory sampling and batch inspection of colonies;

8. Distribution standard–quick freezing technology can instantly lock water to keep fresh; The whole process of cold chain transportation, daily delivery to the store, all ingredients stored in the store for no more than 48 hours;

9. Roasting standard–Stick to roasting raw wings on medium fire for 12 minutes, turn each string of roasted wings over 300 times by hand, evenly roast the fat, sprinkle with coarse Chili powder to saute the fat, and both sides of roasted wings are golden, tender and fragrant.

All the raw materials used in Guan’s wing bar are personally led by Guan Qibing to go deep into the country of origin and trace back to the source: Fujian independently bred chicken species, Erjingtiaoshizhu red pepper, honey with flowers collected by beekeepers following the flower season, Xinjiang Toksun cumin and Sichuan Hanyuan pepper, which are genuine and genuine.

Fine standards, selected raw materials, rigorous technology and exquisite roasting art have jointly achieved a series of Guanshi 2006 classic secret roasted wings, which are sweet with hemp, fragrant skin and delicious gravy. Once launched, they have been deeply loved by the majority of wing powder, and have sold 120 million strings so far! Guan’s wing bar won the award of "Beijing Focus on Roasting Chicken Wings" issued by Beijing Catering Industry Association for its classic secret roasted wings. In early 2021, it became a recommended brand on CCTV10 sets of "Hometown to Taste" column, and in July 2021, it won the signboard and handsome award of Dragonfly Award at Hanyuan Oriental Wanli Summit!

Focus on barbecue, ingenuity, adhere to the initial intention, and manage the wings slowly and steadily. The 39th Fangshan Xiyue Tianjie Store and the 40th Longde Plaza Store also opened on September 19th, and the business is booming!

　　synopsis

　　The whole process of people’s democracy has the remarkable characteristics of full chain, all-round and full coverage, and it is the most extensive, authentic and effective democracy. Developing people’s democracy in the whole process is an essential requirement of Chinese modernization. On the new journey, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to develop people’s democracy in the whole process and give full play to the advantages of the socialist political system.

　　People’s democracy is the life of socialism and the proper meaning of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has deepened its understanding of the development law of democratic politics, put forward the great idea of people’s democracy in the whole process, enriched and developed the theory of socialist democratic politics, and provided fundamental guidance for the development of socialist political civilization. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward that "the whole process people’s democracy is the essential attribute of socialist democratic politics" and regarded the development of the whole process people’s democracy as one of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization, which profoundly revealed the great significance of developing the whole process people’s democracy in the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. We must unswervingly follow the road of political development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, solidly promote people’s democracy throughout the process, ensure that the people are masters of their own affairs, and build a democratic cornerstone and gather great strength for realizing the goal of the second century and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　One of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization

　　Chinese modernization insists on taking people as the center and pursues the free and all-round development of people. Therefore, developing people’s democracy in the whole process has become one of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization. The whole process of people’s democracy has the remarkable characteristics of full chain, all-round and full coverage, and it is the most extensive, authentic and effective democracy. In the critical period of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, it is of great significance to develop people’s democracy in the whole process.

　　Constantly meet the inevitable requirements of the people’s needs for a better life. In the new era, people’s yearning for a better life is more intense and their needs are increasingly extensive, which not only puts forward higher requirements for material and cultural life, but also increases their requirements in democracy, rule of law, fairness, justice, security and environment. Solidly promoting people’s democracy in the whole process can better meet the needs of the broad masses of the people in democracy and the rule of law, and better realize that the people are the masters of the country. The whole process of people’s democracy in China not only has a complete system and procedure, but also has a complete participation in practice. All people practice democratic election, consultation, decision-making, management and supervision according to law, and manage state affairs, economic and cultural undertakings and social affairs through various channels and forms according to law. Constantly meeting the people’s needs for a better life requires the development of people’s democracy in the whole process, concretely and realistically embodying the people being the masters of the country in the policies and measures of the party governing the country, concretely and realistically embodying the work of the party and state organs in all aspects and at all levels, and concretely and realistically embodying the work of realizing the people’s yearning for a better life.

　　The inevitable requirement of giving full play to the superiority of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s political system. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The whole process of people’s democracy in China is based on China’s national conditions, history and culture, and reflects the wishes of the people.". Democracy is the common value of all mankind, but there is no fixed model to realize it, and there are many ways to realize it because of different national conditions, so it is impossible to be uniform. The whole process of people’s democracy in China is deeply rooted in the social soil of China, which is a great achievement of the century-long struggle led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the latest development of people’s democracy in China. A comprehensive, extensive and organically connected system of people being the masters of the country has been formed, and various, smooth and orderly democratic channels have been constructed. The continuous development of people’s democracy in the whole process on the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way is an inevitable requirement for giving full play to the advantages of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s political system and will effectively promote the prosperity and long-term stability of the party and the state.

　　The inevitable requirement of forging the strong leadership core of Chinese modernization. Chinese-style modernization is a socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), and upholding and strengthening the overall leadership of the Party is the first major principle that Chinese-style modernization must firmly grasp. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "The leadership of the Party embodies the majestic power of building Chinese modernization. Our Party adheres to the Party’s mass line, adheres to the people-centered development thinking, develops people’s democracy throughout the process, and fully stimulates the spirit of ownership of all people." The people are the greatest strength of our party’s governance. The Communist Party of China (CPC) has always represented the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in China. The party leads the people in the whole process of people’s development, that is, supporting and ensuring that the people are the masters of the country, and implementing the embodiment of people’s interests, reflecting people’s wishes, safeguarding people’s rights and interests, and enhancing people’s well-being in all fields of the party’s governance. To develop a more extensive, full and sound whole-process people’s democracy is to ensure that the Party’s values, principles, objectives, tasks, operating procedures and normative requirements on the whole-process people’s democracy are implemented in all aspects of people’s being masters of the country, and in the concrete practice of people’s participation in state and social governance, so as to ensure that the Party leads the people to effectively govern the country.

　　Fully demonstrate the distinctive features of people’s democracy in the whole process.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The unique world outlook, values, historical outlook, civilization outlook, democratic outlook, ecological outlook and its great practice contained in Chinese modernization are major innovations in the theory and practice of world modernization." On the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, we should continue to improve the comprehensive, extensive and organically connected system of people being the masters of the country, expand people’s orderly political participation at all levels and in all fields, make all aspects of systems and state governance reflect the people’s will more deeply, protect people’s rights and interests more widely, and fully demonstrate the distinctive characteristics of people’s democracy in the whole process of our country.

　　Adhere to the people-centered development of people’s democracy in the whole process. People-centered is the fundamental ruling idea of our party, and adhering to people-centered is a basic strategy for upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. People are the starting point of developing people’s democracy in the whole process. We should ensure that people are masters of their own affairs, continuously improve people’s well-being and constantly realize people’s yearning for a better life. The people are the fundamental force for the development of people’s democracy in the whole process. We should adhere to the people’s dominant position, fully embody the people’s will, safeguard people’s rights and interests, and stimulate people’s creative vitality. By developing people’s democracy in the whole process, the efficiency of state governance will be significantly improved, so that state governance will achieve greater and better governance results, so that people can be masters of their own affairs not only in the process, but also in the results, fully demonstrating the authenticity of democracy.

　　Adhere to the problem-oriented development of people’s democracy in the whole process. Problems are the voice of the times, and human society is advancing in solving problems. Today, the complexity of the problems we face and the difficulty of solving them have obviously increased. We should enhance our awareness of problems, focus on new problems encountered in practice, deep-seated problems existing in reform, development and stability, people’s urgent difficulties and worries, major problems in international changes, and outstanding problems faced by party building, and constantly put forward new ideas, new ideas and new methods to truly solve problems. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "China is so big that different people will have different demands and different views on the same thing. This is normal, and consensus should be reached through communication and consultation. More than 1.4 billion people in China want to go to one place and work hard to make it happen. If they are in the same boat and unite as one, there will be nothing that cannot be done and obstacles that cannot be overcome. " Build consensus in solving problems, enhance unity in resolving contradictions, and demonstrate the effectiveness of people’s democracy in the whole process.

　　Adhere to the system as the carrier to develop people’s democracy in the whole process. The whole process of people’s democracy is the essential attribute of socialist democratic politics. To develop people’s democracy in the whole process is to make various systems better reflect the people’s will, protect people’s rights and interests, stimulate people’s creativity, and use institutional systems to ensure that people are masters of their own affairs. Practice has proved that China’s people’s congress system, multi-party cooperation and political consultation system led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), regional ethnic autonomy system and grass-roots mass autonomy system ensure that people’s democracy in the whole process of development has a complete institutional arrangement. The whole process of people’s democracy in China has achieved the unity of process democracy and achievement democracy, procedural democracy and substantive democracy, direct democracy and indirect democracy, people’s democracy and national will. It is a full-chain, all-round and full-coverage democracy and the most extensive, authentic and effective socialist democracy.

　　Better combine electoral democracy with deliberative democracy.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "The people exercise their rights through elections and voting, and all parties within the people hold full consultations before making major decisions, so as to reach consensus on common issues as much as possible, which are two important forms of socialist democracy in China. In China, these two forms of democracy are not mutually substituted and denied, but complement each other and complement each other, which together constitute the institutional characteristics and advantages of socialist democracy in China. " The whole process of people’s democracy in China connects democratic election, democratic consultation, democratic decision-making, democratic management and democratic supervision, and fully mobilizes the enthusiasm of both electoral democracy and deliberative democracy, so that the people of China can express their interests and participate in the political life of the country in an effective and in-depth way.

　　Develop and improve the important institutional carrier to realize people’s democracy in the whole process. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The people’s congress system is an important institutional carrier to realize people’s democracy in the whole process of our country." Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Party put forward: "Support and ensure that the people exercise state power through people’s congresses, and ensure that people’s congresses at all levels are democratically elected, accountable to the people and supervised by the people." As a fundamental political system, the people’s congress system has great vitality and obvious advantages. It is a good system that conforms to China’s national conditions and reality, embodies the nature of a socialist country, ensures that the people are masters of their own affairs, and guarantees the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward "six musts", that is, we must adhere to the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, ensure that the people are masters of the country with the system, govern the country in an all-round way according to law, adhere to democratic centralism, adhere to the road of political development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and persist in promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, which provides a fundamental basis for adhering to and improving the people’s congress system and doing a good job in the people’s congress work in the new era. On the new journey, we must further develop and improve the people’s congress system, implement the work arrangements and measures of the CPC Central Committee on developing people’s democracy in the whole process into the work of legislation, supervision and representation of the NPC, continuously expand the people’s orderly political participation, and ensure that the people enjoy a wide range of rights and freedoms according to law.

　　Develop and improve the important form of deliberative democracy. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized in the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress that deliberative democracy is an important form of practicing people’s democracy in the whole process, and made strategic arrangements for the all-round development of deliberative democracy. Socialist deliberative democracy is an important way to realize the leadership of the party, an important system design for the party to lead the people to effectively govern the country and ensure that the people are masters of the country, and a unique form and advantage of China’s socialist democratic politics. Under the socialist system in China, it is the true meaning of people’s democracy to discuss things, and to find the greatest common denominator of the wishes and demands of the whole society. Deliberative democracy is deeply embedded in the whole process of socialist democracy in China, enriching the forms of democracy, expanding the channels of democracy and deepening the connotation of democracy. The key to developing deliberative democracy in an all-round way lies in implementing the concept and requirements of developing people’s democracy in the whole process and effectively promoting the extensive and multi-layer institutionalized development of deliberative democracy. It is necessary to make overall plans to promote consultations among political parties, people’s congresses, governments, CPPCC, people’s organizations, grass-roots organizations and social organizations, highlight key work points and form overall efficiency. We should better combine the two important forms of democracy, electoral democracy and deliberative democracy, realize the extensive and sustained participation of the overwhelming majority of the people, and integrate democratic practice into people’s daily work and production and life.

　　[August 28, 2024, Chengdu] On August 28, the new Lantu Dreamer pre-sale conference with the theme of "Dream Sublimation" was held in Chengdu Science Fiction Museum. The new Lantu Dreamer is positioned as "Panoramic Luxury Technology Flagship MPV". This pre-sale has two versions: Kunpeng version The pre-sale price starts from 349,900 yuan, and the pre-sale price of the dry version equipped with Huawei’s Dry Smart Driving ADS 3.0 and Hongmeng cockpit starts from 469,900 yuan. At the same time, there are scheduled rights and interests worth up to 13,998 yuan, including lifetime free vehicle quality assurance, lifetime free three electricity quality assurance, lifetime free basic maintenance (1 time/year), and priority production and delivery of first-sale rights and interests locked in the listing in advance. Further fill the sense of value of technology luxury MPV.

　　At a time when the market structure of the automotive industry is reshaping and marketing is accelerating changes, various car companies are competing to show the latest and most innovative marketing cards, in order to unlock the survival rules of the traffic era and successfully break through the highly invaded competition. Lantu Automobile, which has always been evaluated by the industry as "good at making products, not good at marketing", is also boldly seeking changes in this unprecedented marketing revolution.

　　At the pre-sale press conference of the new Landscape Dreamer, Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong, the Godly Condor CP, went across time and space, but Yang Guo’s mount was no longer "Brother Condor", but replaced by the new Landscape Dreamer. This new car interprets the brand connotation of "Dream Sublimation" in the dream chasing story told by the Godly Condor CP. Looking back at Landscape’s recent marketing actions, we can find that the change of Landscape’s marketing thinking is not only concerned with short-term traffic, but in deep resonance with users, watering the soil for the long-term growth of the brand and products.

　　Divine Condor CP travels through the future to help pre-sell the new Landmap Dreamer

　　The new Landscape Dreamer, as the first model jointly built by Landscape and Huawei, has the extraordinary strength of MPV smart ceiling level, and the location of its pre-sale conference is also quite futuristic: the main venue of the 81st World Science Fiction Convention – Chengdu Science Fiction Museum, the appearance of this building is like a "nebula-like" flapping wings, and the silver metal roof reflects dazzling light, which makes people feel as if they are in the future city, laying a full science and technology base color for the event.

　　Another small climax of this pre-sale conference was the surprise reunion of Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong to the Divine Condor CP. For the post-70s, 80s and some post-90s, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, a classic CP, are full of memories, and they were also selected by the majority of netizens as one of the three best CPs in Jin Yong’s pen. At the event, the two stars shared the joy of a long-term reunion, talked about the pursuit of life and dreams, and showed that they were not only the "dream CP" in the hearts of the audience, but also lived the dream in reality, which can be said to be a veritable "double winner". For the new Landscape Dreamer, the two stars gave high praise, and "Aunt" Li Ruotong strongly expressed her willingness to place an order for the new Landscape Dreamer on the spot, and ordered it as soon as possible after the event, becoming the first batch of car owners.

　　In addition, adhering to the concept of "user first", Lantu also invited 100 car owners to the pre-sale of the new Lantu Dreamer, making it the "limited protagonist" of this exciting event, giving users a unique "value" experience. After the pre-sale conference, the media and users posted orders for the new Lantu Dreamer on the social platform, showing the luxury, intelligence, space and safety of the new Lantu Dreamer in a comprehensive way.

　　It can be said that this pre-sale event, which integrates a feast of fashion vision, all-round experience of technological intelligence, and interpretation of lifestyle in the new era, fully demonstrates the determination and strength of Lantu’s marketing innovation. Unique venue selection, inventive star guests, and user-centered concepts are all highlights of Lantu’s opening up of ideas, setting a new benchmark for marketing innovation in the automotive industry.

　　Focusing on the user, creating a "fan" circle

　　In today’s car market, the "fan economy" is no longer unfamiliar, and its core lies in seizing the user’s mind. Behind the new Lantu Dreamer pre-sale conference, it is the careful interpretation of the concept of "customer first". In the marketing model, Lantu accurately locates the segmented population, not only meets the rational needs of users with immersive scene experience, but also innovates marketing from the emotional level, resonates with users at the same frequency, and three-dimensionally shows the brand temperature to win users’ emotional recognition.

　　"In the current environment, users are more willing to get to know you through interaction, or through you to understand the products and brands behind you," said Lu Fang, chief executive of Landmap Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. "What should users see when they face Landmap? I think users want to face a warm person, not a cold organization."

　　In the past two years, Lantu Automobile has been continuously innovating at the marketing level and has repeatedly made strange moves. For example, 2023 VOYAH NIGHT user night, users spontaneously light up their waists, and send users to large screens at home and abroad. On May 30, famous singer Tengger and popular variety show "Ace to Ace" host Shen Tao, together with Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu Automotive Technology Co., Ltd., and Shao Mingfeng, general manager of Lantu Automotive Sales and Service Co., Ltd., officially announced the pre-sale of Lantu FREE 318 in an interesting live broadcast at the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line Zero-kilometer Self-Driving Tour Base Camp in Ya’an City, Sichuan Province. In June this year, Lantu FREE 318 was listed, and the 1200-kilometer long test live broadcast from Wuhan to Ya’an, to the automatic parking challenge on the big cliff of Longtou Mountain in Sichuan, Lantu Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. CEO Lu Fangjun personally went into battle. He said: "When I do live broadcasts and communicate with users on social media, I use it as a bridge or link between users and Landmap, or a bridge for users to understand Landmap."

　　The pre-sale conference of the new Landscape Dreamer once again showcased new ideas, maximizing the release of the topic potential energy of Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong through the official end game, creating interesting, informative, terrifying, and popular events and content, hitting the user’s interest and resonance points from the emotional level, thus realizing the rapid detonation of the new Landscape Dreamer.

　　Pre-sale price from 349,900 yuan, over one million luxury value

　　Shao Mingfeng, general manager of Lantu Automotive Sales and Service Co., Ltd., believes that under the condition of user experience, based on the improvement of its own technical strength, it is necessary to let more C-end users know the brand, so "we have to fight for traffic, but do it positively".

　　Indeed, blacksmithing requires its own toughness, and smart marketing methods may emerge in an endless stream, but the constant is that strength comes first. The power of Chinese luxury top products may be another reason why the new Landscape Dreamer can come out of the circle.

　　At present, the Landmap Dreamer performs extremely well in terms of space, energy consumption, comfort, safety, driving control, etc. The ESSA architecture it adopts can be called the ceiling of the new energy architecture, reaching the specifications of the million-class luxury SUV chassis, and the 2000Mpa hot-formed steel cage safety body. It has five "world-first" technological innovations.

　　The new Landmap Dreamer has carried out more than 1,000 configuration upgrades on the basis of the original excellent product strength of Dreamer, and the luxury has been upgraded, including the standard intelligent electric four-wheel drive system in the whole series, the only one million-level magic carpet chassis in the same class and CDC electromagnetic shock absorption, the longest support for 40 + hours, the longest continuous external discharge in the same class, the original luxury design in China, and the first equipped with Huawei Smart Driving ADS 3.0 and Hongmeng cockpit, which can support high-speed NOA and urban NOA, without relying on high-precision maps, and no map global communication. It can be said that the sense of value of China’s high-end MPV has been raised to a new height.

　　In today’s increasingly competitive industry, various automakers have launched an all-round competition around technology, products, services, and supply chains. The new Landscape Dreamer pre-sale conference is undoubtedly another successful marketing attempt by Landscape, promoting the user’s spontaneous tap water effect and creating a new model for the pre-sale of the automotive industry.

　　As Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu Automotive Technology Co., Ltd., said, "The change in marketing methods allows users to face warm people rather than cold organizations." Lantu not only uses millions of strength to give users enough experience value from the product level, but also uses novel marketing methods to penetrate the circle, narrow the distance between the brand and users, and let users feel the brand culture and high value recognition.

Rumors about Xu Jiayin finally settled. On the evening of September 28, China Evergrande issued an announcement saying that the company had received a notice from relevant departments that Xu Jiayin, the executive director and chairperson of the board of directors of the company, had been taken compulsory measures according to law for suspected illegal crimes.

On the morning of the same day, China Evergrande, Hengda Automobile, and Hengda Property, three Hengda companies, announced that the company’s shares had temporarily stopped trading at 9 a.m., and the three Hengda companies had resumed trading shortly thereafter.

The three companies collectively suspended their trading, which made the market speculate that something big might happen to Evergrande. Unexpectedly, the relevant rumors about Xu Jiayin’s situation came true.

Many industry insiders believe that, as the head of Evergrande, Xu Jiayin was forced to take measures, which will affect the progress of the workout.

Lawyers say this could be just the beginning

Since September 23, news of Xu Jiayin’s situation has been circulating in the public. On September 28, China Evergrande, Evergrande Automobile and Evergrande Property suspended trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which caused many discussions.

Hengda did not respond to the reason why Xu Jiayin was taken coercive measures for suspected crimes.

Wang Yushen, director of Beijing Jinsheng Law Firm, analyzed that from the announcement, Xu Jiayin’s suspected crime has been "real" and coercive measures have been taken. This shows that the public security organs have relatively sufficient evidence of Xu Jiayin’s suspected crime, otherwise they will not take coercive measures against him.

Wang Yuchen further said that in the past, Hengda executives were investigated and now Xu Jiayin has been taken coercive measures, which all shows that Hengda has now entered a period of great crisis. Xu Jiayin’s coercive measures are probably just the beginning, and there may be a series of big moves in the future.

On the evening of September 16, the Nanshan Branch of Shenzhen Public Security Bureau announced that recently, the public security organs have taken criminal compulsory measures against Du and other suspected criminals of Evergrande Financial Wealth Management (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. If investors need to report the case, they can register the case.

It is understood that on August 31 this year, Hengda Wealth official Weibo announced that because the company’s asset disposal progress was less than expected and no asset disposal funds were obtained, the company was unable to carry out this month’s redemption, and subsequent redemption arrangements will be announced separately.

For the Xu Jiayin incident, in the opinion of Yan Yuejin, Chief Research Officer of E-House Research Institute, the announcement issued by Evergrande this time confirms the fact that Evergrande’s debt problem is not a simple financial and economic dispute, but involves a large financial default and illegal operation. From this perspective alone, the anti-corruption work of real estate enterprises began with the incident of Hengda’s accountability, and other real estate enterprises have no chance of getting lucky.

Evergrande workout or face variables

Xu Jiayin was forced to take measures, the ongoing Hengda workout, or face variables.

Zhang Hongwei, founder of Mirror Consulting, said that without a decision-maker, Evergrande’s workout is expected to be interrupted for a period of time, and things will be delayed. Relevant departments are expected to take measures soon, such as a large enterprise hosting Evergrande.

Wang Yuchen believes that Xu Jiayin’s coercive measures may affect Evergrande’s workout. After all, Xu Jiayin, as the chairperson of Evergrande’s board of directors, has a significant impact on Evergrande’s future direction and the future development of Evergrande.

In fact, before this, Hengda workout has seen bad news.

On September 24, China Evergrande issued an update on overseas workout information, saying that in view of the investigation of Evergrande Real Estate, the current situation cannot meet the eligibility for the issuance of new notes. This means that Evergrande’s workout may face variables.

The announcement shows that all new bills to be issued under the proposed restructuring must comply with the "Trial Measures for the Administration of Overseas Issuance of Securities and Listing of Domestic Enterprises" issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the "Measures for the Administration of the Examination and Registration of Medium and Long-term Foreign Debt of Enterprises" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission according to their applicable circumstances. China Evergrande must prove that it meets the relevant requirements. In view of the above reasons, China Evergrande’s current situation cannot meet the eligibility for the issuance of new bills.

Previously on August 16, Hengda Real Estate announced in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange that it had received the "Notice of Filing" issued by the China Securities Supervision Commission, because the company was suspected of information disclosure violations, according to the "Securities Law of the People’s Republic of China" and the "Administrative Punishment Law of the People’s Republic of China" and other laws and regulations, the China Securities Supervision Commission decided to file a case against Hengda Real Estate.

The issuance of new notes is an important part of China Evergrande’s workout plan. In the March workout plan this year, Evergrande Agreement Arrangement Plan 1 stated that the agreement arrangement creditors can obtain new notes at a conversion ratio of 1:1 of their recoverable amount. The new notes have a term of 10-12 years and will be repaid over time. Under Option 2, the agreement arrangement creditors can choose to convert their recoverable amount into: 5-9 years New Notes to be issued by the company.

In addition, under the Jingcheng Arrangement, creditors will receive five new notes issued by Jingcheng with a term of 4-8 years for a total principal amount of $6.50 billion. Under the Space-based Arrangement, creditors will receive four new notes issued by Space-based with a term of 5-8 years for a total principal amount of $800 million.

In addition to the blockage of new note issuance, China Evergrande’s overseas workout-related meetings have also been postponed again. According to China Evergrande’s announcement released on September 22, China Evergrande’s sales since March 22 this year have not been as expected. Based on the current situation of China Evergrande and its consultations with its advisors and creditors, China Evergrande believes that it is necessary to re-examine the terms of the proposed restructuring to match its objective situation and creditors’ demands. Therefore, the relevant agreement and arrangement meetings on the proposed restructuring originally scheduled for September 25 and September 26 will not be held. This is the third postponement.

The market is also concerned about whether Xu Jiayin’s coercive measures will affect "Baojiaolou"? Wang Yuchen said that Evergrande has many subsidiaries all over the country, and each company is relatively independent. Therefore, for buyers who bought Hengda houses but encountered unfinished business, as well as investors who invested in Evergrande, they need to pay close attention to the next direction of Evergrande, but do not worry too much. Now that the state has taken action, and the "Baojiaolou" involving so many ordinary people, there should eventually be a corresponding solution.
