Entering the Thin Air Zone: The Everest Story Behind Breaking Altitude

    1905 movie network exclusive feature On November 3rd, before the heating came, a feature film about the disaster of Mount Everest "climbed" into the mainland cinema, and a cold breath of "adding insult to injury" came on the face, and people could finally experience the taste of "ice peak exploration" on the big screen … …

 

    Mount Everest has always been a sacred place in the minds of many young artists — — The clear sky and the snow-capped mountains filled with fairy clouds bring people unlimited space for daydreaming. For nearly a century, mountaineering enthusiasts from various countries and regions have never stopped their desire to conquer the highest peak in the world.

 

    However, in order to step on this tallest beast, people pay a heavy price. On May 10, 1996, 12 climbers were killed, which was the worst mountain disaster in the history of Everest climbing at that time. This "Breaking Altitude" is adapted from this real event and tells the cause and effect of the mountain disaster with a very calm and restrained attitude. Let’s "enter the thin air zone" and explore the story behind this film:

 

Why "Everest": What should Mount Everest be called?

 

    Viewers who have seen the poster of the international version of the film may notice that the English name of the film is "Everest" instead of "Chomolungma", while the Taiwan Province version is "Everest". So how did these names come from?

 

    At present, it is more reliable to say that the name "Everest" originated from a surveying and mapping station of India’s Grand Triangulation Bureau in 1852. At that time, the surveyor was surprised to measure that the height of this mountain was the highest in the world and informed the director at that time. In 1865, nine years after this measurement was confirmed, the then director named the then numbered "No.15 Peak" Mount Everest after the surname of the former director Sir George Everest. This name is still deeply rooted in western countries, as evidenced by the title of this film.

 

    Since the northern slope of Mount Everest is in Tibet and the southern slope is in Nepal, the two places have different names for this peak. The ancient and elegant name "Everest" comes from Tibetan transliteration, and its meaning has many explanations, such as "Mother of the Earth", "Water of the Virgin" and "The Third Goddess". In 1771, the Qing government officially finalized the word "Qomolangma" as a Chinese translation in the "Ganlong Neifu and Tu", which is still in use today. Since 1960, Nepalese people have called it "Sagamata", which means "Goddess of the Sky". Taiwan Province people combined the names of Tibetans and Nepalis, and came up with the name "Everest", which is a little mistaken for being associated with Christianity.

 

Going up the mountain is easier than going down: what is the experience of climbing Mount Everest?

 

    People who don’t know Mount Everest may think that the process of climbing up is the most thrilling, but in fact, when the whole film "Breaking Altitude" is only halfway through, almost all the protagonists in the film have reached the top. The film spent a lot of time depicting the tension and misery of the mountaineering team when it went down the mountain, as well as the moral bottom line and family values of people exposed in this cruel life-and-death contest.

 

    According to the survey results of China State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping in 2005, the rock face height of Mount Everest is 8844.43 meters, which is equivalent to the sailing height of a Boeing 747. As the movie said, in theory, people are "dead" at this height. Therefore, most of the time in the film, climbers are struggling with the gradual loss of physical strength, hallucinations caused by severe hypothermia and hypoxia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even if you barely reach the summit, you can go down because there is no oxygen or physical strength, and accidents may happen. This mountain disaster in the film shows exactly this situation.

 

    In addition, what the film fails to emphasize is that climbing Mount Everest is not a "feat" that can be completed in a day or two on a whim, but more like a huge, long and boring construction project. Mountaineers often need to arrive at the base camp at an altitude of 5367 meters at the foot of Mount Everest one or two months in advance to adapt to the rapid breathing, the change of pH value and the surge of red blood cells at high altitude, and at the same time, they have to do adaptive climbing between camps. At the same time, due to the changeable climate and poor living conditions of Mount Everest, symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting and dizziness are often commonplace. For climbers with less climbing experience, the use of ice claws, ice picks, ladders and safety ropes also takes time to learn.

AMD Store MI technology test analysis: black technology that can’t be returned after use?

  [PConline gossip]In the first test of X470 motherboard, we mentioned that X470 motherboard will give a software AMD StoreMI technology worth 19 dollars with the board. Unfortunately, the software used by AMD at that time was not perfect, so we failed to evaluate and analyze this technology at that time. Fortunately, many problems can be solved through time. Now we finally get the supporting software of AMD StoreMI. Let’s take a look at whether this technology is a chicken rib or an artifact to enhance the user experience.

  AMD StoreMI is a technology provided with X470 motherboard, which can be used as long as it is X470 motherboard. Its biggest function is to accelerate the traditional mechanical hard disk with slow reading and writing.

  Everyone knows that using SSD will be fast, but the 1TB SSD that can meet the storage needs of most consumers is too expensive, so now most consumers can only choose a compromise way, that is, install the system and frequently read and write files on the SSD with small capacity, and then put large files and games on the mechanical hard disk with slow reading and writing. The advantage of this is that compared with using only mechanical hard disk, our daily application system is very responsive in web browsing, viewing desktop files, etc., and the user experience is optimized without spending too much money, but the disadvantage is that the feedback of the system is still heartbreaking when reading and writing the file game program that starts the mechanical hard disk.

  butAMD StoreMI is to combine the HDD, SSD and part of the computer’s memory (up to 2GB of DDR4 memory) into a storage whole, and accelerate the HDD which was originally slow to read and write, so that we can fly quickly when reading and writing files on the mechanical hard disk..

  In our traditional mode of using computers, the file storage address needs to be managed manually by our users, but when AMD StoreMI is turned on, the system intelligent learning algorithm constantly optimizes the common file locations.Migrate frequently accessed files to the storage device with the fastest reading and writing speed..

  In fact, this function is similar to Intel’s Aoteng, which uses the devices with faster reading and writing as the cache of the devices with slower reading and writing to accelerate the devices with slower reading and writing. However, many consumers know that Aoteng has many shortcomings, such as occupying the M.2 interface and booting into the system before it can be used. So let’s take a look at whether AMD StoreMI technology has similar problems.

  This test platform adopts the combination of the flagship of the second generation Ryzen plus ASUS ROG C7H(WI-FI) and N hard disks for emergency use.

Hard disk reading and writing test:

CrystalDiskMark
AS SSD Benchmark
Anvil`s Storage Utilities
ATTO
Practical application test:
Game loading
start (the machine or engine)
File decompression
File transfer

  The main purpose of this test is to test whether the combination of mechanical disk and solid-state hard disk has a qualitative improvement in the reading and writing performance test and actual daily use of AMD StoreMI technology. Besides, it will also test the usability of this technology and analyze its advantages and disadvantages.

  First, we went to official website to download and install the software, and now official website has started to provide AMD StoreMI software downloads.

  There is nothing to say about the installation process. Although it is all in English, we just need to keep clicking Next, Next and Next. Near the end of the installation process, some users may pop up a warning, which means that some components of the software need to be installed with Java 1.7 or higher. Do you need to install it? Just point it out directly.

  After the installation, a shortcut to the software appears on the desktop. Obviously, the software has just been made, and there is no Chinese version. The dozens of pages of instructions for the software are also in English, which is really not very friendly to Chinese people. This needs to be spit out.

  Opening AMD StoreMI software is naturally in pure English. There will be two options displayed here. The first option is for users to have a shared hard disk of ssd and hdd, one of which has a system disk installed and the other is empty. Officials suggest users to install the system in the mechanical hard disk first. The second option means to build a StoreMI system without a system, and keep the partition and data of one hard disk, but not both hard disks..The third line, that is, the second option, is applicable when the user has three hard disks and wants to integrate two hard disks other than the system installation hard disk.

  For example, for example, my system is installed on the Galaxy Gamer 480GB, and I want to integrate Samsung 860EVO and Western Digital Blu-ray Disc through AMD StoreMI technology, so I chose the third option.

  Then it will ask the user whether the software can divide 2GB of memory as the accelerated cache of the merged hard disk. In order to test whether AMD StoreMI technology is really useful, we can choose here.

  We will soon see the prompt to create a new hard disk successfully.

  At this time, we open the disk management in my computer management, and we can see that disk 0 and disk 2 have no capacity, and they are merged into a new disk 4. Let’s simply call it AMD StoreMI hard disk first. Then let’s take a look at the performance of this new disk.

  In order to make the test results more intuitive, we also tested the reading, writing and practical application results of 860 EVO 256GB and 2TB of Western Digital Blu-ray Disc, and then we summed up the results of 860 EVO, Western Digital Blu-ray Disc and AMD StoreMI hard disk, and we can intuitively see whether this technology is useful.

AS SSD Benchmark test:

  Test summary:AMD StoreMI technology is really a new species for storage. In the traditional hard disk reading and writing test, we can see that AMD StoreMI hard disk has abnormal results in many tests. Let’s analyze them one by one. In terms of continuous reading and writing performance, the reading performance of AMD StoreMI hard disk is surprisingly high. You can still remember that when we used AMD StoreMI to create a new hard disk, we divided 2GB of memory as the cache of the new hard disk. According to this reading speed, we guess that the software is reading the speed measured by the data in the memory at this time. In terms of read response time, the read response time of AMD StoreMI hard disk is also bizarre, which can only be understood as that it takes a lot of time for the driver to find the read data in three different storage media (memory, SSD and HDD). Other reading and writing scores are more in line with expectations, far better than HDD, but slightly worse than SSD. Of course, testing with a single software doesn’t mean anything. Let’s continue testing.

CrystalDiskMark test:

  Test summary:Whether it is random reading or continuous reading, the performance of AMD StoreMI hard disk is still scary, but the performance of writing is not as good as that of pure SSD, and the test performance is consistent with that of AS SSD Benchmark.

DiskSpeedTest:

  Test summary:The relative performance of the three hard disks is basically consistent with the above software, but the reading performance of AMD StoreMI hard disk is not so off the charts.It seems that the software driver is not perfect., leading to different software test results are quite different.

Anvil`s Storage Utilities test:

Western Digital Blu-ray Disc 2TB

Samsung 860 EVO 250GB

AMD StoreMI hard disk

  Test summary: Anvil`s Storage Utilities can fully see the performance of a hard disk. The reading performance of AMD StoreMI here is still excellent, and the writing performance is slightly lower than that of Samsung 860 EVO.

ATTO Disk Benchmark test:

 
Samsung 860 EVO 250GB

Western Digital Blu-ray Disc 2TB

AMD StoreMI hard disk

  Test description:ATTO Disk Benchmark is a simple and easy-to-use software for detecting disk transmission rate, which can be used to detect the reading and writing rates of hard disks, USB flash drives, memory cards and other removable disks. It can monitor the reading and writing speed of storage devices for fragmentary files of various sizes. For example, a 4KB score is the reading and writing speed of many 4KB folders with a total size of 256MB. Theoretically, the more fragmented files, the slower the reading and writing speed of storage devices.

  From the test, it can be seen that AMD StoreMI has the highest efficiency when reading files with sizes of about 1 and 2MB, which can reach 7000MB/s, which is basically the reading and writing speed of memory, but it is strange that when the file size is larger than 2MB, the reading speed suddenly drops to around 4500 MB/s.

  Of course, the benchmark performance test can only reflect the theoretical performance of the hard disk, and we need to combine its performance in daily applications to draw a conclusion.

  Test summary:In various daily applications, AMD StoreMI hard disk is slightly inferior to Samsung 86 EVO 250GB in a file decompression test, and other performances are basically the same as Samsung 860 EVO 250GB. Let’s take a look at the stability of AMD StoreMI hard disk in transmission.

  After the test, let’s try to restore the hard disk. I have to say that this is the most troublesome part in a winter.

  We open the software of AMD StoreMI again. At this time, only the last option, Change Settings, can be selected. Because the original screenshot can’t be found in a winter, I will use the screenshot before AMD StoreMI hard disk was created as an auxiliary explanation. Please don’t kill a winter to sacrifice to heaven.

Pretend there’s a picture here

  At this point, we can click a Remove option, and the software will separate the two hard disks that have been fused together after clicking.And move all the data to HDD.

  This process is very long. This operation has not been completed until the end of work one winter. After about 3 hours, we can see that Disk 0 and Disk 2 are finally back.

  In addition, there is a quick way to remove StoreMI, that is, click Delete in Change Settings, so that the two disks will be restored to their original state at a fast speed, and of course all the data in them will be lost..

  In fact, AMD StoreMI is a technology that combines SSD and HDD into a hybrid hard disk through software. When we write a file, the system will first write the file into SSD, and then AMD StoreMI will intelligently judge whether the file is commonly used according to user habits.Keep the commonly used files in SSD, and the infrequently used files, such as audio and video, pictures, etc., will be moved to the mechanical hard disk when the disk is idle.. AMD official data also shows that when we replace SATA SSD with NVMe SSD, AMD StoreMI’s reading and writing speed will become the same as NVMe SSD.

New AMD StoreMI hard disk

970 EVO 1TB

  Then I tried it one winter, using Samsung 970 EVO 1TB and Western Digital Blue Disk 2TB to form a new AMD StoreMI hard disk, and the writing speed really became NVMe SSD level.

  We can also see that the reading speed of AMD StoreMI hard disk is very off the charts in the above test, which is probably the result of using memory to accelerate the new hard disk, but this is not very obvious in the actual application test, and the game loading speed is consistent with that of pure SSD.

  Conceptually, AMD StoreMI is a software that helps you manage disks and files intelligently.Put the commonly used software on SSD and the infrequently used software on HDD.Whether this software works or not actually depends on how intelligent it is. A smart housekeeper is a good housekeeper, and an unintelligent housekeeper is worse than nothing. This also means that this technology can be continuously improved through user feedback. Based on the above tests, in fact, the advantages and disadvantages of this technology are obvious, and we can list them separately.

  AMD StoreMI has three advantages, the most important of which is that it can intelligently help users manage file storage addresses, which is simply the gospel of lazy cancer patients, and many inventions that promote social progress in history are invented for lazy people; The second is that after this function is turned on, when I move files on this disk, I write them into ssd first, and then move them later. Then the file transfer is carried out at the transfer speed of SSD, and on the surface, the user seems to have a large-capacity solid state. Third, compared with Intel’s Opteron, we don’t need to buy additional hardware.

  However, the shortcomings of this technology are also obvious. If you use a relatively slag SSD and HDD to start this technology,If one day your SSD is scrapped, the data of your whole hard disk including HDD will be gone.; Finally, based on the above tests, we can find that the write performance of AMD StoreMI hard disk is slightly worse than that of the original pure SSD. No matter whether 860 EVO or 970 EVO is used, the performance of SSD will be partially lost. Finally, this technology is presented with the X470 motherboard. If you use the AMD 300 series motherboard and want to use this function, it will cost 19 dollars. At this time, consumers need to measure whether it is useful to themselves.

  Generally speaking, this technology is a good benefit for consumers who have purchased the X470 motherboard. If you have a reliable SSD, you can actually use this technology boldly. However, if you are not a user of the X470 motherboard, I suggest that you wait and see until this technology is more perfect. After all, it doesn’t even have a Chinese version of the manual, and it is still a very initial product.

5S general principles of media crisis public relations

Strategic weapon for crisis management

No manager is indifferent to organizational security issues, and no manager can guarantee that his unit will not have an accident. In addition, the society has entered the era of mass communication, and media reports have almost become the primary factor in social life. Once the incident appears, it will immediately become a hot topic of media coverage. If the media concerned make a mistake, the incident will soon turn into a real crisis, social shock and the organization will suffer heavy losses.

The strategy to deal with the crisis should become an organization’s strategic reserve, just like the weapons in the arsenal. When a crisis comes, you can fight with weapons. If you don’t have weapons, you can only sharpen your guns when you get cold feet, and failure is inevitable.

In the process of dealing with the crisis, crisis experts have summed up all kinds of useful knowledge, from principles to strategies, from strategies to behaviors. You Changqiao, a famous crisis public relations expert, summed up a set of crisis management principles, which are concise and to the point, and should be an effective weapon in the crisis management arsenal of organization managers.

1S

Shoulder the matter principle of taking responsibility

Once the incident was reported, the public immediately became highly nervous and paid close attention to it. At this time, the public has four psychological characteristics:

First, I believe in media reports, but I don’t believe in the speeches of the organizations concerned, and I am emotional;

Second, it is better to believe in it than to believe in it, and to presume guilt;

Third, eager for new information, chasing new information and thinking that the new is true;

Fourth, to generalize, to doubt and deny.

Beneath this emotional state of mind, there is hidden public calm value concern. What does the public really care about?

First, the interests of the victims, and thus the interests of the public itself;

Second, who is responsible for the interests of victims and possible victims.

In the public’s state of mind and value concern, the first principle for the organization concerned to deal with the crisis is to take responsibility, regardless of whether the organization concerned is responsible or not, whether the responsibility is light or heavy. Declaring responsibility is a moral obligation that an organization, as a member of society, must fulfill, and it is also the best choice for organizations to resolve the crisis. It can effectively and quickly calm the public’s excitement, avoid the danger of further intensification of the crisis, and create a good public opinion environment for solving the crisis.

The public is undoubtedly emotional, but this does not mean that the public is indiscriminate. The words and deeds of the organization’s courage to take responsibility will produce a good response in the public mind. This response is the most valuable support for the organization to properly handle the crisis, and it is also a solid foundation for the organization and its products and services to continue to survive and develop among consumers after the crisis.

Avoiding responsibility, the organization may be destroyed by the pressure of society; Take responsibility, the organization will be praised in the crisis and turn the crisis into a turning point for development. Therefore, it can be said that the organization concerned announced to the media, the public and consumers at the first time of the incident, which is the most important choice for the organization not to be destroyed.

2S

Sincerity principle of sincere communication

When the incident comes out, no one can change it, but everyone wants to change the views of the media, the public and the victims. The key is whose method is effective.

Only sincere communication can be effective, and any insincere practice can only intensify contradictions and trigger a greater crisis. So what kind of communication is sincere communication?

First, fully spread. The organizations concerned provide all possible means of communication to the media, the public, consumers and all people who are concerned about the incident, such as press conferences, live media interviews, online interaction, hotline calls, open letters, advertisements, text messages and other means of communication to ensure the public’s right to know.

Second, take responsibility. By using such means and tools of communication, the organizations concerned are not trying to justify, argue, shirk their responsibilities, blame others, express their grievances, bow and scrape, readily agree, please the society, etc., but to declare that they will bear the necessary responsibilities for the victims. The so-called responsibility, as a responsible member of the society, is a moral commitment to the victims and the whole society after the incident, and it is the social moral obligation that the organization should fulfill. This is a belief, not a utility.

Third, it is human. The truth is undoubtedly important, but in the process of event communication, the importance of audience feeling even exceeds the event itself. If the organization concerned blindly "speaks with facts" and ignores the inner feelings of the public, the organization will still be considered "insincere".

3S

Speed first principle

In the era of mass communication, any news-worthy event will be reported immediately after the event, even at the same time, and will soon become a hot spot of media attention, triggering public shocks and forming a crisis.

Therefore, if the organization concerned cannot announce the truth of the incident to the media as soon as it happens (as far as it knows), it will lose the best fighter to control the deterioration of the situation, and it will take a hundred times of efforts to save it in the future.

From the perspective of crisis management, it is the premise of crisis management to deal with the incident immediately and correctly; It is the core of crisis management to spread the incident immediately. The content of communication should not only be correct, but also the time of communication should be "immediately".

From the perspective of communication, the first 12-24 hours after the incident is the time when the news spreads fastest and the deformation is the most serious, and it is also the time when the audience is most anxious, most eager for information and most anxious. Every move of the organization concerned has been widely reported by the media, so adopting the right means of communication to spread the right content at the first time is almost equivalent to laying the foundation for successfully handling the crisis.

Not sleeping for 24 hours is totally worth it; Otherwise, you can’t sleep for 24 months.

4S

System system operation principle

At present, crisis management systems and crisis management systems are being established in all aspects, from national to local, from public administration to specific social organizations. This is an inevitable problem with the high development and high integration of social politics, economy and cultural life, that is, how to ensure the normal operation of a huge social machine, how to rescue an accident in a certain link and make it return to normal as soon as possible.

Crisis management is to ensure that the measures taken by the organizations concerned are timely, correct, consistent and in line with long-term interests. Every large organization, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, should establish a crisis management system to ensure that once a crisis occurs, the crisis resolution procedure will be started immediately and the system will operate to resolve the crisis.

Generally speaking, the crisis management procedure includes the following elements:

First, set up a crisis management team with the participation of relevant personnel, and the senior leaders of the organization are responsible for commanding and fighting continuously;

Second, implement special control within the organization to ensure internal stability and unified external information;

Third, do a good job in crisis communication and maintain benign communication and interaction with the media and the public;

Fourth, take decisive measures to solve the problem and treat both the symptoms and the root causes.

5S

Standard authority confirmation principle

It is easy to understand that an incident was reported and triggered a crisis. No matter how the organization explained it, the media and the public would not believe it. Who would believe a person suspected of being guilty and show that he is innocent? !

Are there any problems with the products, services or other things of the organization concerned, which caused the incident? Such problems can only be concluded by the competent government departments or the third-party authoritative organizations after careful investigation and study. Therefore, after the incident, the organization concerned only needs to solve the problem in good faith and wait for the authoritative conclusion. Any self-conclusion will not help, but will also anger the victims and aggravate the crisis.(Cheng Wuzheng)

Deep test drive Xingyue L: It is not recommended to buy it directly, but it is recommended to try it yourself.

[Cheyou Headline-CheyouNo.-Automobile Intelligence] As early as the day when Xingyue L made its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show, some people predicted that it would become the "explosion" this year; Judging from the actual sales performance, Xingyue L did not disappoint.

At the beginning of the month, Geely Automobile released its sales performance in August, and the Xingyue L, which was listed on July 20th, won the sales performance of 10,036 vehicles in the first natural month. Indeed, if we look at the entire SUV market, this data is still not enough to squeeze into the top 15 of the Federation list, but as a domestic model with a price range of 130,000-180,000 yuan, it can achieve sales performance comparable to that of a compact joint venture SUV at the same level. Xingyue L is still the only one.

In fact, the new media of automobile intelligence visited the Geely 4S store and found that most of the Star Yue L was still sold by "order". For the tight mid-high models, the waiting period was even as long as one month. So, why can Xingyue L sell so well? Aside from the "online celebrity" attribute, is it worthwhile for consumers to give up the joint venture SUV and choose it instead? In a recent test drive, the author finally found the answer.

Sufficient power, intelligent configuration plus points

Regarding the design of Xingyue L, I believe everyone is already very familiar with it, so I won’t go into details here. Comparatively speaking, unlike ordinary customers’ test drive, the test drive route is nearly 300 kilometers long and lasts for about 4 hours, covering complex road conditions such as urban areas, highways, rural roads and mountain roads, which can basically simulate all car use situations encountered by car owners.

If we use one sentence to describe the performance of Xingyue L in urban areas, I believe there is nothing more appropriate than the word "easy to drive". First of all, the steering wheel of Xingyue L is very light. For example, in the case of reversing at a low speed and frequent steering, it will not drag its feet at all, and even female car owners with relatively small strength can easily control it. In addition, when passing through a narrow road at low speed, the 360-degree panoramic image+transparent chassis function can be awakened, avoiding the collision of vehicles and driving more confidently.

Of course, if the stop-and-go in the urban area can only be regarded as a "side dish", the high-speed road conditions can be said to be a big test for a car. As far as the actual driving experience is concerned, even if the speed rises to 100km/h, the chassis of Xingyue L is still very solid. Even when passing through the deceleration device, the vehicle has no unnecessary bounce, and the comfort is absolutely remarkable. Unexpectedly, although the Star Yue L uses Goodyear tires that are biased towards sports properties, there is no obvious tire noise during high-speed driving, which shows that its sound insulation measures are still excellent.

In the face of a 100-kilometer-long high-speed section, of course, the blessing of intelligent assisted driving system is indispensable. The way to activate the Star Cross L assisted driving is very simple. Just turn on the assisted driving function in advance and press the "Constant Speed Cruise" button in the upper left corner of the steering wheel during driving, and the vehicle can enter the adaptive cruising state. At this point, the system can take the initiative to take over the vehicle and slow down when encountering obstacles or the speed limit is reduced, which can not only reduce driving fatigue, but also avoid speeding, which can be said to be the "gospel" for long-distance drivers.

In addition, the test drive route also includes a section of township road surface, which is rugged and even contains some gravel roads. However, this test drive is a 2.0T+8AT+ four-wheel-drive Xingyue L-top model. In the face of this road condition, it is natural that the stable and solid power output makes running a "bad road" a pleasure.

Finally, it is the highlight of the test drive process. After entering the mountainous area, vehicles will face many "stuck bends", and sharp turns and large-angle slopes will not only test the driving level, but also challenge the vehicle’s power system. Fortunately, Xingyue L’s 2.0T high-power engine has 238Ps horsepower and 350N·m torque, and its output power and response speed are excellent. In the words of friends, "Although most compact SUVs can drive up mountains, Xingyue L will obviously be more’ calm’".

Full of luxury, feel the leap.

For most families in China, which car to buy in the end is not a "one-person decision". Besides taking care of the driver’s feelings, the opinions of family members are also very important. In the process of test ride, the performance of Xingyue L is absolutely worthy of the word "excellent".

It is true that the interior of most joint venture compact SUVs has got rid of the criticism of "hard plastic", and the soft package on the center console and door armrest has improved the sense of grade. However, the interior of Xingyue L can be described as "luxury". The center console and the inner roof are made of a large number of suede materials, which makes the interior more warm. The leather package with stitching on the door and the wooden decorative board will also look more designed and give people a pleasing feeling.

Under normal circumstances, the co-pilot is the exclusive seat of the family "hostess", and Xingyue L is not stingy in configuration. There is a 12.3-inch screen in front of the co-pilot, which supports the manipulation of multimedia to play music and videos, making long-distance travel more fun; In addition, the (top) co-pilot seat also has the function of seat heating and ventilation, and supports six-way adjustment, so that passengers can find a more comfortable sitting position.

As for the size, the length, width and height of Xingyue L reach 4770/1895/1689(mm) respectively, and the wheelbase is 2845 mm. Although it is a compact SUV, its space strength can be comparable to that of a medium-sized joint venture SUV. In addition to the luggage of a group of four people can be easily loaded in the trunk, the "Erlang legs" can be easily tilted in the back row, which is completely out of the spatial level impression of the "compact SUV" in the impression.

It is not difficult to find that the "top match" of Xingyue L is only the "entry level" price level of the joint venture compact SUV, which brings the performance strength comparable to that of the joint venture medium-sized SUV, so it is not difficult to understand why it can sell so well.

tagOnce, some people compared French cars to "sweet dumplings", meaning "all the good things are in them". In my opinion, today’s Xingyue L is more like a "zongzi". Under the glamorous appearance, it still retains a "heart" full of sincerity. Therefore, although the Star Yue L is not as good as the joint venture model at the same level in terms of brand premium ability, I believe that anyone who has tried the Star Yue L will vote with their wallets.

  — — 40 years of diplomatic relations between China and the United States

  On January 1, 2019, China and the United States celebrated the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.

  Over the past 40 years, the great development of Sino-US relations has far exceeded the expectations of that year. The ups and downs of Sino-American exchanges for 40 years have also given enough lessons and enlightenment.

  If you combine, it will benefit both sides, but if you fight, it will hurt both sides. Nowadays, whether China-US relations in the "year of no doubt" can break through the fog and move towards win-win cooperation is not only related to the interests of the two peoples, but also will have a far-reaching impact on the international community.

Promoting Chinese modernization and high-quality development is the primary task.

  "Our modernization is both the most difficult and the greatest." When attending the discussion of the Party’s 20th Guangxi delegation, the Supreme Leader General Secretary made a profound exposition on comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization.

  One of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization is to achieve high-quality development. High-quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

  Stay in the new journey of national rejuvenation and draw a grand blueprint for future development. Since the beginning of this year, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has presided over many important meetings and visited local areas to guide all localities to implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and promote Chinese modernization with high-quality development.

  To achieve high-quality development, we must rely on science and technology.

  "It’s worth seeing. Seeing it gives me confidence in achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance." On the morning of July 7th, when General Secretary of Supreme Leader visited Jiangsu, he affirmed that Suzhou Industrial Park was at the forefront in scientific and technological innovation and high-quality development.

  During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress this year, when General Secretary of the Supreme Leader participated in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation, he sent a message that Jiangsu should "strive to build an industrial science and technology innovation center with global influence".

  Now, aiming at this goal, Suzhou Industrial Park has refined the action plan and specific indicators by 2025. "If China’s economy wants to develop upwards, achieve high-quality development and become an economic power, it depends on science and technology." The general secretary encouraged, "You are shouldering such a historical mission, which is both significant and glorious."

  Self-reliance in science and technology is the "great country" in the mind of the Supreme Leader General Secretary. During an inspection tour in Guangdong in April this year, the General Secretary pointed out that achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance is the key to Chinese modernization. During his inspection tour in Hebei in May, the General Secretary emphasized that accelerating the construction of a powerful country through science and technology is the strategic support for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way.

  In the exhibition hall of Central Industrial Park in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, the "transcripts" are arranged in a row:

  In 2019, the 12-inch photovoltaic silicon wafer was first released, which pushed the industry technology forward for 5 to 10 years and reduced the cost of photovoltaic power by 6.8%… … Now, we are aiming at the localization of semiconductor monocrystalline silicon for scientific and technological research.

  On June 7th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to the industrial park to learn more about the R&D and production of products such as semiconductors and photovoltaic materials of enterprises in the park. He stressed: "Now, we must rely on high-level science and technology to stand on our own feet and build a new development pattern to overcome scientific and technological difficulties."

  With the new round of scientific and technological revolution and rapid industrial transformation, scientific and technological innovation has become an important engine to transform the mode of economic development and promote high-quality development.

  This year, all 16 million-kilowatt units of Baihetan Hydropower Station passed the acceptance inspection, Chang Erding’s "One Arrow and Four Stars" was successfully launched and formed the first wheeled satellite formation in the world, and the "Lucky Bird" AC332 helicopter successfully completed its first flight in full state … … The innovation engine is accelerating continuously, helping to open up new fields and new tracks, and shaping new development momentum and new advantages.

  With the support of the real economy, we will not take the road of detachment from reality to emptiness.

  In the exhibition hall of Guangzhou Automobile Aian New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., six new car products are lined up. During an inspection tour in Guangdong, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came here and looked at them one by one with great interest, asking in great detail from price to sales volume, from material technology to battery technology.

  The general secretary said with emotion: "We are a big country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, and we cannot develop singly. We can’t rely on others, we have to rely on ourselves. We must attach importance to the real economy, take the road of self-reliance and achieve self-reliance in science and technology. "

  During this trip to Guangdong, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Chinese modernization can’t take the road of breaking away from reality and becoming virtual, and we must speed up the construction of a modern industrial system supported by the real economy."

  Shortly after the inspection tour in Guangdong, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the first meeting of the 20th Central Financial and Economic Committee to study the problem of accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system, stressing that "the modern industrial system is the material and technological foundation of a modern country, and the focus of economic development must be placed on the real economy".

  Modern industrial system is the material and technical support for high-quality development, and it is also an important symbol to realize economic modernization.

  △ On June 6, 2023, the first domestic large-scale cruise ship, Ada Modu, officially docked at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard after completing a series of in-dock tests.

  Recently, the construction of China’s modern industrial system has gained a new vivid epitome-

  In the first half of this year, the new orders received by China’s shipbuilding industry accounted for 72.6% of the international market share, setting a new record, which also means that China’s shipbuilding industry is gradually taking the initiative in the global market.

  On July 17, the National Bureau of Statistics released data showing that China’s GDP increased by 5.5% year-on-year in the first half of this year, which was higher than the economic growth rate of 3% in the whole year of last year and 4.5% in the first quarter. It can be seen that as the economy and society fully resume normal operation, China’s economic recovery is improving and high-quality development is steadily advancing.

  Build a new open economic system at a higher level.

  South Korea’s LG Display Company chose to settle its global core production base in Guangzhou.

  When the Supreme Leader General Secretary visited Guangdong, the person in charge of the enterprise introduced the advanced monitors produced by the base, such as wallpaper screen, transparent screen, car screen and double-sided screen, and expressed confidence in the market prospect of China.

  "This shows that your choice is correct and your development prospects here are broad." The general secretary said, "China market is an ocean, and we have the largest consumer market in the world, and we are accelerating the construction of a ‘ that promotes each other at home and abroad; Double cycle ’ Continuously improve the business environment. In the current global economic difficulties, China’s market advantage will become more obvious. "

  Building a new open economic system at a higher level is a strategic measure that China takes the initiative to promote reform and development through opening up.

  Not long ago, when presiding over the second meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to build a new development pattern around services, focus on institutional opening, focus on key areas of foreign exchanges and cooperation such as investment, trade, finance and innovation, deepen institutional reform, improve supporting policies and measures, and actively raise China’s opening up to a new level.

  △ On April 15th this year, buyers learned about China’s new energy automobile products in the newly set new energy and intelligent networked automobile exhibition area of Canton Fair.

On April 15th, the 133rd China Import and Export Fair "relayed" the 3rd China International Consumer Goods Expo, attracting buyers from more than 220 countries and regions, and the exhibition area and the number of enterprises reached a new high … …

  Facing the trend of anti-globalization, China adheres to a high level of opening to the outside world, firmly grasps the initiative of development, breaks through the blocking points of economic cycle, maximizes the institutional advantages, and continuously enhances the potential of high-quality development.

△ Zhoushan Port in Ningbo

  Based on the domestic market and connecting with the international market, we will build a new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other. Under the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary, the construction of China’s modern industrial system has achieved remarkable results, technological breakthroughs have been continuously achieved in key areas, international competitiveness has been significantly enhanced, and development achievements have been continuously transformed into people’s quality of life … … On the land of China, a picture of high-quality development is slowly spreading.

  Looking forward to China’s development prospects, General Secretary’s words are full of self-confidence: "Chinese modernization has goals, plans and strategies, and will certainly be realized. We will move forward step by step. "
