It is not difficult and the process is simple for reporters to smelt waste oil in three days.

The so-called "gutter oil" generally refers to three kinds: old oil repeatedly fried, hogwash fat extracted from swill, and gutter oil extracted from floating oil in sewers. The refining processes of these three oils are similar: oil fishing, crude refining and refining, with little difficulty.


A technician from a famous edible oil manufacturer in Zhejiang said that any manufacturer of edible oil refining has the ability to mass produce "waste oil" without adding any equipment and technology.


There is no evidence in words, but the experiment proves it! From September 21st to 23rd, with the help of technicians, it took the reporter three days to refine about 250ml of golden yellow, clear and transparent gutter oil from a bucket of stinking and filthy floating oil.


The first step of the experiment: fishing for oil


The object of this experiment is floating oil in sewers, which is the so-called most authentic "gutter oil".


Oil fishing was carried out in the kitchen grease trap of a hotel in the city center on the morning of September 21st. The grease trap is under the manhole cover beside the kitchen. According to the requirements of environmental protection, all catering enterprises need to build it.


The tool for fishing oil is very simple, an oil drum and a digging rod. The front end of the digging rod is an aluminum bowl, and there are several small holes in the bottom of the bowl, which can filter water and leave oil.


When the manhole cover is opened, the gray-black floating objects exude a stench. Under the stirring of the pole, a few beans can be seen from time to time in the corroded garbage, which proves that they really come from the kitchen.


The second step of the experiment: rough refining


The reporter found an abandoned brick house in Yuhang, built a primitive stove with three bricks, set up an asphalt bucket, poured in a big bucket of waste oil raw materials, ignited and refined.


The fire burned for about twenty minutes, and the liquid in the oil drum boiled completely. The originally turbid liquid gradually became clear, and a thick layer of oil was floating after skimming the surface impurities.


Put it out, and after cooling, pick up the grease on it. These oils are the newly processed gutter oil, which is dark red, looks like old oil and stinks.


The third step of the experiment: refining


After rough refining, the waste oil can’t be put on the table, but also impurities, sediments, decoloration and deodorization should be separated. This time, the method of fine processing of edible oil was fully referenced.


We took 5 liters of crude cooking oil boiled by indigenous method as raw material of crude oil and sent it to a famous large edible oil manufacturer in Zhejiang. Factory technicians Xiao Jing and Xiao Zou (a pseudonym) clearly stated that these crude oil raw materials can be completely refined on their production lines.


"The alkali refining, water washing, decoloration and deodorization of waste oil are exactly the same as the fine processing of edible oil, but the deodorization link is not perfect in the laboratory."


Because it is extracted from the corrupt and acidified floating oil, gutter oil contains a lot of acidic substances, which can only be neutralized by adding alkali, that is, alkali refining.


After adding alkali, the waste oil quickly became turbid, from deep red to yellow similar to milk tea. After stirring, many white coagulants appeared.


"White coagulum is soap feet, which is a good raw material for making soap." Xiao Zou said.


After alkali refining, it is washed with water. The purpose is to accelerate the separation of oil and soapstock. It is very simple to add 10% salt water.


When it was placed in the early morning of the next day, the separation of oil and soap was completed. At this time, although the sour smell was reduced a lot, the color of the gutter oil was still dark red and opaque.


Decolorization is the most critical step in refining waste oil. This requires activated clay, which is an odorless, tasteless and nontoxic adsorbent.


Adding activated clay into the dark red oil in proportion, fully stirring, and turning the whole bottle of oil into black; Let it stand for 30 minutes at the temperature of 110℃-120℃, and then filter out the white clay, and a miracle will appear.


The original dark red and opaque gutter oil has become golden in color, clear and transparent; The tasteless clay, after filtering out, became black and smelled sour.


The last step of refining is deodorization.


Deodorization is also the last step of normal edible oil finishing. After this processing, the oil becomes completely odorless, but it needs to be carried out in a vacuum environment and cannot be operated in the laboratory.


Xiaojing took out a bottle of edible essence, dropped three or four drops into the gutter oil, and smelled it again, and it had no sour smell.


"If I add peanut essence, it smells like peanut oil." Xiaojing said.

In 2020, China’s financial system will operate smoothly, and the balance of green credit will rank first in the world.

Conference site

  Cctv news(Reporter Li Wenliang) On January 15th, the State Council Office held a press conference. Chen Yulu, deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China, introduced that in 2020, the People’s Bank of China will comprehensively track the epidemic prevention and control and the economic and social development situation, and flexibly grasp the strength, rhythm and focus of monetary policy regulation and control, thus creating a stable and suitable monetary and financial environment for the epidemic prevention and control, "six stabilities" and "six guarantees".

  Chen Yulu said that on January 12th, the People’s Bank of China released the Report on Financial Statistics in 2020. The data shows that in 2020, China’s major financial indicators are running in line with expectations, and the financial system is running smoothly.

  First, the growth of money and credit basically achieved the annual target. At the end of 2020, the broad money supply (M2) increased by 10.1% year-on-year, 1.4 percentage points higher than the end of last year; RMB loans increased by 19.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 2.8 trillion yuan over the previous year; The stock of social financing scale increased by 13.3% year-on-year, 2.6 percentage points higher than the end of last year. From the perspective of the whole year, the People’s Bank of China has provided 1.75 trillion yuan of long-term liquidity for the real economy by reducing the deposit reserve ratio three times. The People’s Bank of China has launched more than 9 trillion yuan of monetary policy support measures, ensuring the policy goal of "moderate monetary aggregate and reasonable liquidity".

  Second, the credit structure was optimized, loans from manufacturing enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises continued to exert their strength, and financial support for key areas of the real economy increased. In 2020, the balance of medium and long-term loans in manufacturing industry increased by 35.2%, 20.3 percentage points higher than the previous year, and the growth rate has been rising for 14 consecutive months. Pratt & Whitney small and micro loans increased by 30.3%, 7.2 percentage points higher than the previous year. At the same time, the effect of real estate control policies has been gradually released, and the growth rate of real estate loan balance has dropped for 29 consecutive months.

  Third, we continued to deepen the structural reform of the financial supply side, and the financing cost of the real economy dropped significantly. In 2020, the interest rate marketization reform continued to advance, the conversion of the pricing benchmark of existing floating interest rate loans was successfully completed as scheduled, the dividend of interest rate reform continued to be released, the transmission efficiency of monetary policy was enhanced, and the interest rate of corporate loans was significantly reduced. At the end of 2020, the weighted average interest rate of corporate loans nationwide was 4.61%, down by 0.51 percentage point from the end of last year, the lowest level since statistics were available in 2015. At the same time, the financial system did everything possible to reduce the financing costs of enterprises and successfully achieved the goal of making profits of 1.5 trillion yuan to the real economy.

  Fourth, the financial support for the "three major battles" has achieved remarkable results. In 2020, the battle to prevent and resolve financial risks has achieved important milestones. P2P platforms have all been cleared, various high-risk financial institutions have been disposed of in an orderly manner, the scale of shadow banking has been reduced, the risks of asset management products have obviously converged, and the nesting of inter-bank associations has been continuously reduced. At the same time, the People’s Bank of China resolutely supports winning the battle against poverty. In the past five years, the poverty-stricken population and industrial precision poverty alleviation loans have accumulated more than 6.5 trillion yuan, benefiting more than 90 million poor people and helping all poverty-stricken counties to remove their hats. In recent years, the People’s Bank of China has supported green development and ecological civilization construction through green finance, which has been widely praised by the international community. At present, the balance of green credit in China ranks first in the world, and the stock scale of green bonds ranks second in the world.

  In 2020, in order to help China’s real economy, especially small and micro enterprises, reduce the serious impact and impact of the epidemic, the People’s Bank of China will also guide the financial system to make profits of 1.5 trillion yuan to the real economy through measures such as lowering interest rates, reducing fees, and delaying the repayment of principal and interest.

  At the same time, four policies and measures have been introduced to support the financing and stable development of small and micro enterprises: First, two monetary policy tools that go directly to the real economy have been innovated, and the central bank’s funds have been used to encourage banks to extend loans to small and micro enterprises, so as to substantially increase the supply of credit loans. The second is to increase inclusive policy support for small and micro enterprises in key areas. The third is to improve the financial service capabilities of commercial banks’ own small and micro enterprises. The fourth is to give play to the policy synergy of "several promotion" and improve monetary, regulatory, fiscal and taxation and external policy incentives. Last year, the financing of small and micro enterprises achieved remarkable results of "volume increase, price decrease and area expansion". By the end of the year, the balance of Pratt & Whitney small and micro enterprises was 15.1 trillion, a year-on-year increase of 30%. In 2020, 32.28 million business entities were supported, an increase of 5.24 million over the previous year.

  Chen Yulu said that in 2021, a prudent monetary policy will be more flexible, accurate, reasonable and moderate, and will continue to maintain the necessary support for economic recovery.

Does it need to be sorted when the garbage is burned? Expert: Garbage sorting can save a lot of money.

In Langlujiayuan Community, Nanshan District, the staff of the garbage removal company are sorting and collecting garbage and transporting it to professional places for further treatment. Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reporter Jong Li correspondent Chen Jiashe

Original title: One-point garbage disposal saves major events. Professionals say that garbage sorting can save a lot of costs from transportation to terminal treatment.

Shenzhen Special Zone News August 17, 2019 Recently, this newspaper reported four modern environmental protection power plants in Shenzhen, which aroused widespread concern in society. Some citizens are wondering, since Shenzhen has such a large amount of garbage incineration and advanced technology, is it necessary to classify garbage? In interviews and surveys, professionals in garbage disposal emphasized that garbage disposal costs a lot, and the mixed garbage disposal process is more complicated. Garbage classification not only saves resources but also reduces the burden of garbage disposal. Only when everyone cares about garbage disposal and starts to do garbage sorting well can the dilemma of "garbage besieged city" be fundamentally alleviated and social spiritual civilization be promoted.

The road from the community to the terminal facilities is long.

The high cost of garbage disposal calls for classification.

The daily average domestic garbage removal in Shenzhen increased from 7.5 tons in 1979 to 19,000 tons in 2018, exceeding 2,500 times, with an annual growth rate of 6%, and with the rapid development of Shenzhen, the growth rate is still increasing year by year. It is understood that some landfills are designed to have a service life of up to ten years or even decades, but they can’t resist the growing amount of garbage. Some landfills are filled in advance and garbage incineration plants are overloaded.

The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau said that while building garbage disposal facilities, the amount of garbage has increased. For many years, Shenzhen garbage disposal facilities have encountered difficulties in site selection, landing and construction. Zhong Rigang, deputy general manager of Shenzhen Energy and Environmental Protection Co., Ltd., who is responsible for the construction and operation of four energy and ecological parks in our city, also believes that "building garbage disposal facilities will cost a lot, not only spending money, but also occupying social resources."

There is still a long journey from the community to the terminal treatment facilities. From the community, it will be transported to the garbage transfer station in the form of vehicle-mounted drums or vehicle-mounted bags, and then it will be reduced in water and compressed, and then it will be pulled to the garbage incineration power plant or sanitary landfill for final treatment by the garbage truck.

"Every link will generate costs. In order to prevent the impact on residents’ lives and the urban environment, in the transportation process, the garbage with odor is transported by special closed vehicles." Zhong Rigang believes that if citizens can reduce their sources at home, they will not use so many more expensive closed cars.

"Garbage came in and was destroyed? Garbage disposal is very complicated. " Zhong Rigang analyzed that if the garbage is not classified as mixed garbage, the treatment standard will be determined according to the most dangerous components, the treatment process is more complicated, and more environmental protection facilities and materials are invested. Despite the garbage disposal facilities, Zhong Rigang appealed that everyone is a garbage producer and should actively participate in garbage sorting, reduce garbage production at the source and share the pressure of garbage disposal. Sorted garbage is more convenient to transport and treat, and reduces the cost.

More than 100 enterprises participate in transportation processing.

Put an end to garbage before sorting and then mixing.

Large pieces of garbage, glass plastic paper, kitchen waste, waste lamps, waste batteries … The reporter saw in Langlujiayuan Community of Nanshan District that these classified garbage were collected and transported by vehicles with different logos and different enterprises. This scene is the normal state of garbage removal in the community that promotes garbage sorting in Shenzhen.

How to ensure classified transportation of classified garbage? Will the garbage that residents have worked hard to sort out be taken away by a car? Huang Zhibin, director of the comprehensive department of Shenzhen Municipal Domestic Waste Classification Management Affairs Center, said that the removal unit was invited by the district governments and had certain qualifications. All kinds of garbage were removed by different removal companies. According to the contract, the types of garbage cleaned by each removal company were different, and the mixed collection and transportation of garbage was eliminated from the system. Due to the different operation projects of enterprises, collecting garbage collected and transported by non-self enterprises will not generate benefits, and enterprises are not driven by interests.

It is reported that there are more than 10 enterprises responsible for the collection, transportation and treatment of waste furniture, waste battery lamps, waste glass plastic paper, annual oranges, waste fabrics, green garbage, fruit and vegetable garbage and kitchen garbage in Futian District, more than 20 enterprises in Luohu District, more than 50 enterprises in Baoan District and 10 enterprises in Longgang District, and more than 100 enterprises are responsible for the classified transportation, classified treatment and recycling of garbage in the city.

Remove the floor trash can before the end of the year.

Citizens need to go downstairs and throw garbage.

As early as 2015, Shenzhen began to fully implement garbage sorting. After the garbage is sorted, how to throw it away? In order to improve the participation rate and accuracy of residents, after repeated exploration, Shenzhen is now vigorously promoting the residential waste classification model of "centralized classified delivery+regular fixed-point supervision", that is, there is no trash can on the floor, and centralized classified delivery points are set downstairs. Arrange supervisors to conduct on-site supervision at the centralized waste sorting and dropping point in the community from 7: 00 to 9: 00 every night.

In the first half of 2019, the city built 805 residential areas with the mode of "centralized classified delivery+regular and fixed-point supervision", and implemented the classified delivery of kitchen waste at regular and fixed points (7: 00-9: 00 every night), and recruited party member, volunteers, enthusiastic residents and property managers as supervisors. At present, there are 2,671 supervisors in the city to conduct on-site supervision at 2,630 centralized delivery points in 805 communities, covering a total of 452,000 households and 1.53 million residents, and each centralized delivery point serves about 172 households on average.

According to the Municipal Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau, by the end of the year, this model will be extended to all 3,600 residential areas with property management in the city. This means that in many communities where garbage bins are placed on the floors, all these bins should be removed, and garbage sorting points should be set up again in the communities, and the garbage should be carried downstairs for sorting.

At present, Shenzhen is carrying out the action of removing barrels, and strives to completely remove the garbage bins on the residential floors before the end of this year. Although not every residential area has garbage bins on the floor, some residential areas have no garbage bins on the floor since they first moved in. It is necessary to change the habit of throwing garbage when they go out for many years, especially in high-rise residential buildings. Whether residents will adapt and support the withdrawal of buckets will test the relevant departments of the district and street. (Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reporter Lin Qingrong)

Chen Danyan: Recovering Our "National Tide at Sea"

"Since the 1960s, the light industrial products produced in Shanghai have experienced unprecedented prosperity in the next 30 years, just like the sudden arrival of midsummer, the irresistible bright sun."

In the memory of Chen Danyan, a Shanghai writer, once all China sneakers were the best-looking warrior in Shanghai, all China butterscotch was the most fragrant white rabbit in Shanghai, and all China quilts and quilts were more respectable and solid in Shanghai. Gradually, Phoenix brand bicycles replaced British Blue Ridge bicycles, Butterfly brand sewing machines replaced American Singer sewing machines, and Shanghai brand films replaced European and American Aikefa and Kodak. A foreigner will take home all the daily necessities he bought in Shanghai. The travel bag he uses is light and strong, with the skyline of the Bund printed on it. The bag is also from Shanghai and is called "Shanghai Brand".

It is these local brands in Shanghai that jointly safeguarded the decency of Chinese people’s daily life in the last century. Now it’s been 30 years, what about those old brands in Shanghai? Since the second half of 2019, Chen Danyan has successively investigated the history and present situation of 40 old brands of light industry in Shanghai, and found that some of them have opened up a new world in line with the trend of the times, some have disappeared in the years, and some have struggled to make ends meet. As a supplement to the new edition of Shanghai in Chen Danyan, this part is presented in an independent chapter.

On February 25th, "What’s Shanghai like in Chen Danyan?" The sharing meeting will be held in the library. Looking at Chen Danyan’s "Shanghai brand all-steel watch", "Butterfly brand sewing machine", "Phoenix brand bicycle" and "Jinxing brand TV set" released in PPT, the readers were full of enthusiasm. Some of them are Shanghai natives, and they talk about what they saw when they were children. Some came from other places, saying that her parents had recalled the scene of shopping in Shanghai when they got married, and the couple specially came to Shanghai to buy a pair of Shanghai brand watches when she got married; Some were German students who came to China in the 1970s, and he still brings back several big bags of white rabbit toffee at the request of German relatives and friends. Others even suggested that Shanghai should set up a museum of light industrial products, and display all the old objects produced in Shanghai one by one, so as to jointly commemorate the time when materials were scarce but practical and romantic.

The life of an era

In fact, these 40 old brands can be found in Chen Danyan’s works. In Shanghai’s nonfiction trilogy (Shanghai’s romance, Shanghai’s golden branches and jade leaves, Shanghai’s legacy of beauty) and the Bund’s nonfiction trilogy (The Bund: Images and Legends, The Maze of Public Gardens, Becoming a Peace Hotel), Chen Danyan intentionally or unintentionally left many detailed and accurate information about objects.

For example, The Bund: Images and Legends published in 2008 wrote: "Her fiance bought a full set of high-quality household items in the Friendship Store for her family: Shanghai brand all-steel watch, Butterfly brand sewing machine, Phoenix brand bicycle and Venus brand TV set." Another example is: "Countless quilts with blue uniforms and red flowers are flying in the wind, and sometimes you can see the pure wool blanket of Phoenix brand, weaving a pattern of small flowers on all sides of a big flower group. That was the most conspicuous blanket of the year, because it was the blanket laid on the bed when Jinjiang Hotel received the President of the United States. " 

"When I first wrote these six books, I didn’t expect that one day, I would get to the bottom of these old Shanghai brands that appeared in the books. At that time, they were written in detail, mainly because they were non-fiction works and demanded more details than novels. When I did a good job of research and wrote a sentence of comments for them, I found that we could gain insight into the face of Shanghai living in that era. " Chen Danyan told The Paper that they are not only the material life of Shanghainese, but also the spirit of Shanghai.

In the process of investigation, she found Huang Mingxu, the former party secretary of Shanghai Pencil Factory No.2, to check the historical materials. Huang Mingxu is over the age of seventy, and he doesn’t know much about computers. However, he was very excited when he learned about Chen Danyan’s purpose, and told her that he would definitely help her, because no writer had ever asked him to know about the history of light industry in Shanghai-even though it was a glorious history.

Huang Mingxu is still the editor-in-chief of Shanghai Light Industry Chronicle, and he is in charge of tracing the history of Shanghai Light Industry. 

"Most of these old Shanghai brands emerged around the 1960s. At that time, everyone had a strong desire to contribute more to the construction of this country." Later, Chen Danyan discovered that there was an almost naive optimism, a kind of temperament of "let’s paddle" desperately. This spirit and temperament are shown in bright blue, red, yellow and changeable green. Especially for the use of green, grass green reminds people of the genuine trousers of teenagers in the 1970s, while gray green reminds people of the special green in the Shanghai Month brand.

"Shanghai is a city that maintains and respects daily life, but its spirit has always had the ideal of being one in the world and walking side by side with Britain and the United States." Chen Danyan said.

A simple and naive beauty

In Chen Danyan’s view, Shanghai’s light industrial products and handicrafts have actually provided a socialist city lifestyle in the long process of urbanization transformation in China. However, after the reform and opening up, the lifestyle brought by China’s own handicrafts and light industrial products, as well as people’s thinking and practice in daily life, gradually disappeared from the products provided by supermarkets and luxury goods markets all over the world.

Let’s talk about the "Shanghai bag" that is all the rage. With the gradual opening of the luggage market in 1990s, brands all over the world sold in Chinese mainland, and Shanghai brand bags were gradually discontinued. When Chen Danyan began to look for its trademark right, it found that "Shanghai Brand Bags" did not exist and could not register trademark patents. Later, she went to find its manufacturer, and also found the Shanghai Leather Luggage Factory, which was the most likely and should be the manufacturer in that year. But no one in the whole factory knew the production details, except that it was the planned economy era in Shanghai when this kind of bag was sold nationwide, and the Shanghai Light Industry Bureau sent orders to various factories in Shanghai for production, and the products were uniformly distributed and sold by the state. 

Many other old brands that have existed so far have also changed from the original "trendy benchmark" to "standard for middle-aged and elderly people". "At that time, the economic life was not developed, and the product first pursued practicality and durability, and then it was fashionable and beautiful." So she thought, is it possible to make those once popular products fashionable and beautiful, and make them become brands acceptable to everyone, especially young people?

In this way, Chen Danyan began his first attempt-redoing the bag printed with the word "Shanghai". In The Bund: Images and Legends, she once wrote about this kind of Shanghai brand bag: "The sketches of the skyline of the Bund buildings were printed on all kinds of artificial leather bags produced in Shanghai from 1960s to 1980s for the first time, and the word’ Shanghai’ was printed above the skyline. This style is simple, strong and durable, and it is equipped with zippered bags and travel bags. Because of its good quality, it is welcomed by Chinese. In the deep hinterland of China, it is a symbol of fashion. "

Chen Danyan’s new bag still uses the word "Shanghai", but it has made changes in shape and accessories to adapt to the current aesthetics, and has also made more explorations in material diversification. "When people see it at first sight, they will immediately feel that this is the bag my mother took when she was a child. This is the bag my father took when he was a child. There are very warm memories of our generation. I will think that when this bag is opened, it is the big steamed bread they brought back from the canteen, then the Reference News, and occasionally the white rabbit toffee. " 

"I think we can slowly leave the part of our lifestyle that has a common memory. They are urban heritages that are easier to disappear than buildings, but more likely to resonate. If we can do this, the lifestyle of this city is both economical and practical, as well as our simple and naive beauty. " She told the The Paper reporter, "I hope that our domestic products in Shanghai can return again and be regarded as the national trend by more young people. Only in this way can these old brands consciously adapt to the current aesthetics, not only satisfied with’ living’, but also pursuing’ living well’. " 

[Attachment] Notes made by Chen Danyan for Shanghai brand in Shanghai, Chen Danyan (part)

Shanghai brand watch

In July, 1955, the Shanghai Light Industry Bureau organized 58 masters in the watch industry in Shanghai to fight day and night for more than 50 days, and made 18 prototypes of fine horse and waterproof mechanical watches by hand, which should be regarded as the ancestor of China watches. In 1958, Shanghai Watch Factory officially established a factory and produced the first batch of Shanghai brand watches. On July 1st, 1958, Shanghai brand watches were listed in the third department store in Shanghai, and customers queued to buy them, which became a fashion in China for a while. In the late 1960s, the technicians of the watch factory selected a word "Shang" and a word "Hai" from Mao Zedong’s handwriting, and put them together into a hair style. This "Shanghai" trademark has been in use ever since. In the 1960s, Chinese, who wore a watch, had a Shanghai brand watch flashing "self-reliance" on every four wrists. 

Seagull license camera

In the early 1960s, China’s national defense, public security, news, medical care, scientific research, sports and other fields urgently needed domestic advanced SLR cameras. In the case of a rather weak industrial base, Shanghai Camera Factory was ordered to successfully develop the first advanced SLR camera in China-Shanghai DF-7 in 1964. As the first advanced SLR camera in China, Seagull camera has been well-known at home and abroad since 1960s. In that era when food and entertainment were scarce, owning a seagull license camera could make you the coolest person in Shanghai. 

Phoenix bicycle

Phoenix bicycle originated from Tongchang bicycle shop, the first bicycle shop in China in 1897, with a history of one hundred years. In May 1958, Shanghai No.3 Bicycle Factory was established, and the brand was born in the late 1950s. In the process of development, its technology is mainly independent research and development, pursuing innovation. In 2010, we reformed the system, built our own production base, and built a perfect production and supply system. Since the trademark "Phoenix" was marked on January 1, 1959, nearly 200 million consumers around the world have chosen Phoenix bicycle products. 

Butterfly sewing machine

In 1927, China’s first domestic sewing machine was born in Xiechang Sewing Machine Factory, named "Red Lion Brand". In 1940, "Red Lion" was renamed "Golden Lion". In 1946, the "Golden Lion Brand" was renamed as "Invincible Brand", which means "Beating the invincible hand in the world". In 1966, in order to avoid the suspicion of "four old" and to unify the names of Chinese and English trademarks in domestic and foreign trade, "Invincible Brand" was renamed "Butterfly Brand". In the 1970s and 1980s, it was a great honor for anyone to have a butterfly or bee sewing machine, and they were also the most important dowry for a married woman. 

Jinxing brand color TV

Jinxing brand color TV is a famous brand product of the former Shanghai TV Machine Factory (now Shanghai Radio and Television Group Co., Ltd.), which once had quite high praise and popularity. In 1978, the state approved Shanghai TV Machine Factory to introduce the first color TV production line in China. In October 1982, the color TV production line was officially completed, producing Jinxing brand color TV. Since then, Venus, as a landmark product in Shanghai, has won various national honors. In 2000, Jinxing brand color TV was eliminated in the market competition. In 2003, Jinxing brand color TV stopped production.

Baiyu toothpaste

Baiyu toothpaste is the oldest domestic toothpaste sold in the market so far, with a history of nearly 90 years, which is produced by Shanghai Toothpaste Factory. Its predecessor was China Chemical Industry Society founded in 1912. The first toothpaste in China-Samsung brand toothpaste is produced by this factory. In 1967, it was changed to Shanghai Toothpaste Factory, which is the birthplace of China Toothpaste Industry. Toothpastes with different names were produced all over China in 1950s, and most of them were obtained from Shanghai Toothpaste Factory. 

Taikang yellow card spicy soy sauce

At the end of 19th century and the beginning of 20th century, the use of spicy soy sauce was extended from western food to other foods in Shanghai. Spicy soy sauce is used in fried pork chops in Shanghai western food and in Luo Songtang. Local food, such as raw fried steamed bread, ribs rice cake and dry fried hairtail, is sometimes dipped in spicy soy sauce. In 1933, Meilin Canning Co., Ltd. first produced spicy soy sauce in Shanghai, using Meilin brand Golden Shield trademark; In 1960, the spicy soy sauce product line of Meilin Canning Co., Ltd. was handed over to Taikang Food Factory for production, renamed as "Shanghai Spicy Soy Sauce" and changed to Jinji brand trademark. In 1990, the Golden Rooster brand of Taikang Factory was changed to Taikang Yellow Card and Taikang Blue Card. Taikang spicy soy sauce is still produced and sold in Shanghai. 

Sullivan cookies from Yimin food factory

Sullivan biscuit is a biscuit brand produced by American Sullivan Candy and Biscuit Co., Ltd., which was founded in 1922. Sullivan Company mainly produces and distributes candy, biscuits, bread and other foods, which are very popular in Shanghai. In 1954, Sullivan Company was renamed Shanghai Yimin No.4 Food Factory. Most of Sullivan biscuits were renamed Taikang biscuits and continued to be welcomed by the public. In 1997, Yimin No.7 Factory and other parts were reorganized into Shanghai Guanshengyuan Yimin Food Co., Ltd. to continue to produce biscuits and sweets. 

strauss

Shanghai is the birthplace of Chinese musical instrument manufacturing industry. Shanghai Piano Co., Ltd., founded in 1895, is the first piano manufacturing enterprise in China. In 1916, Strauss piano registered its trademark in Shanghai. In 1958, the first piano produced by China’s national industry, the Strauss piano, was born here. In 1963, the company presided over the drafting and formulation of the first piano industry standard in China.

Another "free lunch" ends. From March 26th, Alipay credit card repayment charges will be charged.

  Affected by the rising pressure of comprehensive operating costs, more and more third-party payment channels begin to charge fees for credit card repayment. But at the same time, we should also see that there are many repayment channels for credit cards at present, and the channels such as bank online banking and mobile banking APP are still free — —

  For users who use third-party payment channels to repay bank credit cards, a new change is about to happen: from March 26th, Alipay will charge a service fee for credit card repayment, and WeChat has charged for credit card repayment since August 1st last year, which means another "free lunch" for Internet services has ended.

  Next, how will you choose the credit card repayment channel? What else do you need to pay attention to when using third-party payment to repay credit cards? Has Internet service entered the era of charging?

  Alipay VS wechat

  At present, users and the market are most concerned about the similarities and differences between Alipay and WeChat for credit card repayment charges.

  In fact, repaying bank credit cards through third-party payment institutions is a new thing that has only appeared in recent years. In contrast, bank online banking and mobile banking APP are still the traditional mainstream channels for credit card repayment, and this channel does not charge extra for the single act of "repayment".

  According to industry insiders, the so-called "credit card repayment service" paid by a third party means that the third party payment company deducts the corresponding money from the cardholder’s change account, debit card and other channels for credit card repayment according to his transaction instructions.

  It is understood that "integrated management" is the main reason why some users choose to repay their credit cards through third-party payment channels.

  "At present, I use the credit cards of ICBC, China Merchants Bank and Minsheng Bank at the same time. When I used mobile banking to repay, I would log in to the apps of these three banks respectively, and I also need to remember different repayment dates." Cui Jinqing, a young white-collar worker who works in a large central enterprise in Beijing, said that later, Alipay’s "credit card repayment" function was used to integrate the management of three credit cards. On one interface, the details such as which credit cards you bound, their repayment dates and their repayment amounts were clear at a glance.

  Under the influence of integrated management, path dependence and other factors, the "credit card repayment" function of Alipay and WeChat gradually accumulated some users, but the increase in business volume also led to an increase in comprehensive operating costs, because there would be a payment channel fee behind each repayment.

  When third-party payment institutions no longer invest in cost subsidy fees, "charging" will become the general trend. So for users, what are the similarities and differences between Alipay and WeChat after charging?

  After comparison, the reporter found that from the charging standard, Alipay and WeChat are both one thousandth (0.1%) of the repayment amount, but Alipay has reserved two "free paths" for users.

  Specifically, the first is to provide a free quota of 2000 yuan per person per month. Suppose the monthly repayment amount of users is 3,000 yuan, and the handling fee of Alipay is one thousandth of that of 1000 yuan, namely 1 yuan, but that of WeChat is one thousandth of 3,000 yuan, namely 3 yuan.

  The second is to allow users to increase their free quota through two methods: "redemption of Alipay membership points" and "borrowing the free quota of relatives and friends".

  "It is worth noting that if all your money is in Yu ‘ebao, you can withdraw it to your debit card first, which is free. Then log in to the bank’s online banking and pay back the credit card with the money from the debit card. There is no cost in the whole process. " The relevant person in charge of Alipay said.

  Five aspects should be noted.

  In addition to charging, compared with online banking, there are many matters needing attention in the "credit card repayment" service paid by third parties, which are mainly manifested in five aspects: determination of responsibility and right, repayment currency, single limit, repayment reminder and repayment appointment function.

  The first is the issue of "determination of responsibility and right". It should be noted that the third-party payment institution is only the executor of the user’s credit card repayment instruction, and it will not be responsible for the losses caused by the user’s use of this service unless it does not follow the user’s instruction or the operation instruction is wrong.

  The second is the issue of "repayment currency" and "bill inquiry currency". At present, the credit card repayment services of Alipay and WeChat only support RMB repayment, not foreign currency repayment. In addition, unless otherwise specified, the bill information that users can query through the above two methods is only RMB bills, and the foreign currency bills queried are for reference only, and accurate information still needs to be obtained through the issuing bank.

  The third is the issue of "single limit". Wechat clearly stated in the agreement that when users make credit card repayments through Tenpay’s platform, they should still abide by the restrictions imposed by the repayment source bank on the maximum amount of their single transfer and the maximum amount of daily cumulative transfer; Tenpay is not responsible for the failure of repayment caused by this restriction.

  The fourth is the issue of "repayment reminder". It is worth noting that even if users set up a credit card "repayment reminder" on the third-party payment platform, they still need to make repayment according to their agreement with the credit card issuer. The above settings are only used as a reference for repayment time and amount, not as a basis for whether or not to repay.

  The fifth is the issue of "prepayment function". Wechat clearly stated in the agreement that "if you use the scheduled repayment function, Tenpay will provide you with repayment service according to the billing information provided by the issuing bank of your credit card, and Tenpay does not guarantee the authenticity, completeness and timeliness of this information". That is to say, if the user suffers losses due to the incorrect billing information, including but not limited to economic losses, late payment fees, reduced credit evaluation, etc., it will be settled by the user and the issuing bank.

  Bank online banking channel is still free.

  In the face of the above changes, many insiders said that the overall impact on users is limited. On the one hand, compared with services such as consumption and wealth management, credit card repayment is a function with lower frequency; On the other hand, at present, there are many repayment channels for credit cards. Although Alipay and WeChat charge, these channels such as bank online banking and mobile banking APP are still free.

  In addition, Alipay also suggested in the announcement of "Adjustment of Credit Card Repayment Service Rules" that if it is a large repayment, users can choose to repay free of charge through channels such as bank online banking.

  In fact, for commercial banks, retail business has always played the role of profit stabilizer, and credit card business is an important part of retail business.

  Usually, when applying for a bank’s credit card, users need to have the bank’s debit card and use it as a repayment account. In this way, banks can not only improve customer stickiness through credit card business, but also form stable capital precipitation and repayment cash flow.

  For this reason, for a long time, the online banking and mobile banking apps of various banks have not charged extra fees for the single act of "repayment" for the credit cards issued by the bank, but if users have overdue and installment repayment, they will charge other kinds of fees.

  In recent years, many banks have even supported users to repay their credit cards through "debit cards from other banks" without charging any handling fees for the time being, in order to increase repayment channels for users and increase the frequency of their use of our credit cards.

  It is worth noting that with WeChat and Alipay charging for "credit card repayment" one after another, the discussion about "whether Internet service has entered the charging era" has once again started in the society.

  It is undeniable that in the past few years, more and more services on the Internet have begun to charge. According to a survey by the National Copyright Administration of China, in 2017, fee-based content accounted for almost half of the Internet content market in China.

  At the same time, in the face of charging, users have gradually changed from "unaccustomed" in the early days to "accustomed". The financial report of iQiyi in the third quarter of 2018 shows that as of September 30, 2018, the number of subscribed members of iQiyi has reached 80.7 million, of which paying members account for more than 98%; The income from membership service was 2.9 billion yuan, up 78% year-on-year, which exceeded the income from online advertising service of 2.4 billion yuan.

  "There is no eternal free model in any industry. In a fully competitive market, charging or not ultimately depends on whether the services provided by enterprises are worth paying for, and the charging price will gradually become reasonable in the competition. " The relevant person in charge of Alipay said.

The dilemma of "deindustrialization" in Europe has intensified.

  Since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Europe has followed the United States to impose several rounds of severe sanctions on Russia. Recently, a number of foreign media reported that the spillover effects of sanctions against Russia caused high inflation in Europe and the economy continued to be under pressure. Europe is increasingly worried about the problems brought by sanctions.

  find it difficult to advance or to retreat―be in a dilemma/plight

  According to today’s Russian International News Agency, Uwe Schultz, a German parliamentarian, recently warned that the EU’s largest economy is facing further economic recession and "de-industrialization" due to the EU’s sanctions against Russia. Schultz issued a statement on the website of his political party, saying that economic sanctions against Russia have hit the German economy hard. Schultz said that the sanctions against Russia and the economic measures taken by the German ruling Coalition are leading Germany directly to "de-industrialization", "the economic prospect of Germany in 2023 is disappointing" and "the poor performance of the automobile industry continues to lead to a decline in manufacturing output". Stefan Wolff, president of the German Federation of Employers’ Associations in the Metal and Electrical Engineering Industry, also believes that the German economy is no longer competitive and is expected to fall into recession in the second half of this year.

  According to preliminary data released by Eurostat on July 31, Germany’s GDP in the second quarter of this year increased by zero month-on-month, which was less than the market’s previous expectation of 0.1%. According to the latest forecast of the International Monetary Fund, the German economy will shrink by 0.3% in 2023.

  Many European companies are also facing the negative impact of European sanctions against Russia. The Financial Times recently conducted a survey on the operating conditions of 600 large European enterprises, and the results showed that 176 of them lost more than 100 billion euros due to the reduction, sale or closure of their business in Russia. This figure does not include the losses caused by indirect factors such as rising energy prices and rising production costs caused by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

  According to statistics, before the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, more than 1,800 large enterprises in Europe had operations in Russia, and more than half of them still continue to operate in Russia. According to the analysis, many European enterprises are in a dilemma under the influence of European sanctions against Russia: on the one hand, leaving Russia will have a direct negative impact on their own operations, on the other hand, staying in Russia will face more and more political and economic risks.

  Since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in February 2022, European countries have followed the United States to impose several rounds of sanctions on Russia. In May, the British government announced the expansion of sanctions against Russia, including punitive import tariffs on precious metals produced in Russia and export bans on certain British products. In June, the EU reached an agreement on the 11th round of sanctions against Russia, including measures aimed at cracking down on circumvention of existing sanctions. Russia retaliated against Europe by cutting fuel supply and implementing ruble settlement.

  "The impact of sanctions against Russia on European countries is not exactly the same, and two types of countries are the most affected: first, countries that are highly dependent on Russian energy, such as Hungary and other Central and Eastern European countries; Second, countries whose industrial structure is dominated by manufacturing and energy-intensive industries, such as Germany, Italy and other European manufacturing powers. " Yan Shaohua, an associate researcher at the China-EU Relations Research Center of the Institute of International Studies of Fudan University, said in an interview with this reporter.

  Fatal impact

  "In recent years, the European economy has been affected by the European sovereign debt crisis ‘ Sequela ’ The continuous influence of is in a slow recovery. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, this recovery process was disrupted. The biggest impact of sanctions against Russia on European countries is to aggravate Europe ‘ De-industrialization ’ Worried. " Zhang Jian, vice president and researcher of China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, told this reporter that German, Italian and other European countries have comparative advantages in the field of high-end manufacturing, and an important basis for this advantage is cheap natural gas from Russia. Nowadays, these European countries are bearing the cost of sanctions against Russia, that is, losing cheap Russian natural gas and having to purchase more expensive energy from other countries, which has led many European manufacturing enterprises, especially energy-intensive enterprises, to face rising production costs and be forced to cut production, stop production or move their production lines outside.

  Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) released by Standard & Poor’s Worldwide shows that in July, the manufacturing PMI in the euro zone dropped to 42.7, the lowest level since the outbreak of COVID-19. As a big European manufacturing country, Germany performed poorly, and its manufacturing PMI plummeted to 38.8 in July.

  The report of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs pointed out that high energy prices weakened the competitiveness of European energy-intensive industries, resulting in the loss of market share.

  The economic census report released by dihk this summer also shows that the fluctuation of energy and raw material prices is the biggest risk faced by German enterprises, among which 80% of energy-intensive enterprises list it as the number one risk. According to the report of "Credit Reform", a German credit agency, the number of German enterprises filing for bankruptcy in the first half of 2023 increased by 16.2% year-on-year. In addition, many enterprises plan or have begun to transfer their business to countries with relatively low energy. For example, dozens of enterprises, including Lufthansa and Siemens, are considering expanding production and increasing capital in the United States.

  "Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the European economy is already facing problems such as high inflation rate, high unemployment rate and broken supply chain, and sanctions against Russia have further aggravated these problems. From the production point of view, sanctions against Russia have led to the gradual energy development in Russia and Europe ‘ Decoupling ’ It is difficult for European countries to find a suitable alternative in a short time to make up for the loss of cheap energy in Russia, which makes the manufacturing cost rise sharply. From the perspective of consumption, energy shortage leads to soaring energy prices, which will inevitably affect commodity prices in European countries, thus pushing up inflation and increasing people’s living costs. " Yan Shaohua said.

  Some analysts pointed out that Russia is an important supplier of raw materials for high-end manufacturing in Europe. There are many links in the industrial chain of high-end manufacturing industry, and the supply chain is accurate and complex. The obstruction of the upstream link means the source fracture of the industrial chain and supply chain, which will have a fatal impact on the whole industry. Although Europe tries to avoid areas that will "jam its neck" in the process of sanctions against Russia, with Russia’s retaliatory countermeasures, Europe’s high-end manufacturing industry is in a passive position.

  snow plus frost—exacerbate

  Agence France-Presse reported that since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the EU has imposed unprecedented sanctions on Russia, but EU diplomats admit that the EU sanctions are close to the limit.

  "At present, there is little room for further escalation and overweight of European sanctions against Russia. However, in the short term, sanctions will continue and there is no room for manoeuvre. In this context, Europe’s next question is how to deal with the impact of sanctions on itself. Since the energy crisis last year, Europe has been looking for ways. The European Union has introduced a series of measures, on the one hand, to find energy suppliers that can replace Russia, on the other hand, to release ‘ Green agreement industry plan ’ Accelerate energy transformation and green development. " Yan Shaohua believes that with the relevant EU policies gradually playing a role, the pressure faced by EU countries in energy this year may be eased compared with last year, but the problem has not been fundamentally solved.

  Leonhard Birnbaum, CEO of Eon Energy Group, pointed out that the EU will change its energy structure and reduce its imports of Russian energy due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and this trend will continue, so the energy crisis in Europe is far from over. "In the long run, because we can’t get cheap energy from Russian pipelines, it is expected that the price of natural gas will rise, which may be two to three times that of now." Leonhard Birnbaum said.

  According to the preliminary statistics released by Eurostat on July 31, after zero growth in the first quarter of this year, the euro zone economy grew by 0.3% in the second quarter. Analysts pointed out that although the euro zone economy has resumed growth, the risk of stagnant growth still exists due to factors such as high inflation, weak global demand and monetary tightening policy. Among the major economies in the euro zone, Germany and Italy continue to suffer from the shrinking demand for goods due to the larger manufacturing scale.

  "In the foreseeable future, it will be more difficult for the European economy to turn around. On the one hand, the energy security situation in Europe has not fundamentally improved, European manufactured goods have lost the Russian market, and the competitiveness of European products will continue to decline; On the other hand, the United States introduced the Inflation Reduction Act and the Chip and Science Act to attract European companies to invest in the United States, which will make the European economy worse. " According to Zhang Jian’s analysis, as the largest economy in the European Union, Germany has strong economic radiation, especially its close integration with the economies of neighboring countries. If Germany is affected by sanctions against Russia and its economic situation cannot be effectively improved, then in the next three to five years, Germany’s neighboring countries and even the entire euro zone economy will also encounter troubles, and the overall economic policy and political and social stability of the EU will be negatively affected.

  Some analysts pointed out that high-end manufacturing is the core of European real economy and one of the main engines leading European economic growth. If it is difficult for European countries to get through the obstruction of industrial chain and supply chain, it may be difficult to maintain their leading position in high-end manufacturing in the future. By then, Europe will not only face the problem of economic recession, but also be more difficult to achieve "strategic autonomy".

  During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, China plans to launch seven Fengyun meteorological satellites. By 2035, China’s meteorological comprehensive strength will reach the world advanced level, and meteorology will be deeply integrated into people’s livelihood security and industry development, and a meteorological power will be basically built. ]

  Start wechat, a lonely villain stares at the earth. The first complete photo of the Earth released by NASA to the world is called "Blue Marbles". It was shot by Apollo 17 astronauts, and the perspective was over the African continent.

  Whenever Chen Xiaojie, deputy director of the General Office of Meteorology and Environment of the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and chief designer of Fengyun-4 satellite, opens WeChat, his thoughts will always fly to September 25, 2017 involuntarily.

  That day was the day when China’s new generation of geostationary orbit meteorological satellite Fengyun-4 A star was officially delivered and put into use, and the WeChat startup screen changed its face accordingly — — The image is still the blue earth, but the location of the exhibition has become the Eastern Hemisphere, and it was Fengyun No.4 A star that shot it.

  "The photo perspective is the earth observed from above China, and that feeling is very different." Chen Xiaojie has been deeply impressed by this.

  At the beginning of 1969, a rare freezing rain and snow disaster swept half of China. At that time, only the Soviet Union and the United States had meteorological satellites in the world. Although China can accept foreign satellite cloud picture, it is only a simple "black-and-white image", and it is impossible to mine the original data and retrieve various meteorological elements, so its application is greatly limited.

  On January 29, 1969, Premier Zhou Enlai put forward: "We should quickly change our backwardness and build our own meteorological satellite." In February 1970, Premier Zhou personally issued documents from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council and the Central Military Commission, and assigned the task of developing meteorological satellites. As a result, China’s meteorological satellite industry officially started.

  Up to now, China has successfully launched 17 Fengyun series meteorological satellites, and 7 of them are currently in orbit. These satellites, which are the most "aware of people’s warmth and coldness", observe the changes of the earth in space, prompting us to add clothes and umbrellas.

  According to the China Meteorological Bureau, China plans to launch Fengyun-4 B and Fengyun-3 E satellites in 2021, and seven Fengyun meteorological satellites are planned to be launched during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. "By 2035, China will establish a meteorological business system with accurate monitoring, accurate forecasting and fine service. The comprehensive meteorological strength will reach the world advanced level, and the meteorology will be deeply integrated into people’s livelihood security and industry development, and a meteorological power will be basically built." Zhuang Guotai, director of the bureau, revealed.

  The fate was ill-fated, and the first star "died" after 39 days of launch.

  On September 4th, 1988, Astrin Zhong, the chief designer of Fengyun-1 satellite, stood on the tower with a height of tens of meters, and his heart turned upside down.

  That was the day when China’s first Fengyun satellite was originally planned to be launched. However, after the commander issued the "5-hour preparation" instruction, the control center suddenly lost all the telemetry signals of the satellite and the launch was terminated.

  Ren Xinmin, chief designer of Fengyun-1 satellite project, ordered on-site inspection. Meng Zhizhong and Xu Fuxiang, then the chief designer of the attitude control system, climbed the tower with the test team and nervously performed "surgery" on the satellite. At this time, there are no guardrails around, and there are rockets filled with propellant under the satellite. Every movement should be careful.

  What makes Meng Zhizhong feel stressed is that the scheduled launch time is approaching, and the stations around the country are already ready, constantly calling for news; From Beijing to Shanghai and then to the launch center, soldiers were deployed on the communication lines along the way, and everyone was waiting for the news of the launch at their posts. The troubleshooting work on the tower is progressing slowly, and Meng Zhizhong is both anxious and guilty.

  It was not until the evening that the cause of the fault was finally found out. It was the CMOS circuit of the telemeter that had a "bolt lock" under certain circumstances. The test team took down the telemeter and repaired it overnight, and put it back on the satellite the next morning.

  Three days later, Fengyun-1 A, which took nearly 10 years to develop, was successfully launched, making China the third country in the world with polar-orbiting meteorological satellites. However, after just over a month, the accident happened again.

  On this day, the staff of the National Satellite Meteorological Center found that the received satellite cloud image gradually deviated, and finally only the arc of the earth could be seen. The satellite is out of control.

  Zou Jingmeng, then director of China Meteorological Bureau, asked eagerly: Is there any other way? Meng Zhizhong was speechless.

  Because there was no backup equipment installed, Fengyun-1 A star "died" in space in full view, only 39 days before its launch.

  A rare satellite ground rescue in the history of world space flight

  On September 3, 1990, Fengyun-1 B star was successfully launched. It can provide weather forecast for the 11th Asian Games in time, but after only ten days, it is abnormal.

  Scientific and technical personnel completed the repair in time, but found a thorny problem: the satellite did not carry out anti-radiation reinforcement in component selection and software design. This loophole exposed the computer circuit chip to the bombardment of high-energy particles in space, which easily led to the problem of single event overturning, which would lead to computer malfunction and attitude control system failure at any time.

  The loopholes cannot be filled, and the only way is to strengthen the monitoring of satellites and correct problems in time.

  Astrin Zhonghe and Xu Fuxiang led the scientific and technical personnel to be divided into two working groups, which were on duty in Xi ‘an Satellite TT&C Center in turn. They use the opportunity of the satellite crossing the border six times a day to monitor its on-orbit work.

  On February 14, 1991, in the New Year’s Eve, the satellite cloud picture suddenly distorted and rolled. In the next 75 days, the staff took turns on duty without interruption and began a rare satellite ground rescue operation in the history of world space. Like emergency doctors, they have revived Fengyun-1 B star again and again. However, frequent "operations" have greatly damaged the satellite’s vitality and greatly reduced its life.

  Eventually, Fengyun-1 B star worked intermittently until November 1992, and accumulated normal operation for 285 days in orbit, which failed to reach the design life index of one year.

  Academician Sun Jiadong, a meritorious scientist with two bombs and one satellite, has been with Fengyun for more than 40 years as the chief designer of Fengyun-2 satellite project. He once said: "I have been a chief satellite engineer in my life, and Fengyun-2 is the most unforgettable."

  In February 1994, China’s first geostationary orbit meteorological satellite — — Fengyun-2 01 came to xichang satellite launch center. After many tests, the satellite was successfully refueled and fitted with a solid apogee engine, only to be fully tested for the last time before the transition.

  On the morning of April 2, the test began. At about 10: 50, the solid apogee engine burned and exploded, and black smoke came out with red flames. The observation window glass was shattered and the power supply of the factory building was interrupted.

  This major accident claimed the life of an assembly worker and caused more than 30 test team members to be injured and hospitalized. Astronauts suffered a painful lesson because they did not understand the performance and danger of hydrazine fuel and ignored the requirements of anti-static and environmental temperature and humidity.

  Fengyun-1 star C made a beautiful "turnaround"

  Successive accidents have caused Fengyun satellite development to fall into a downturn. But the astronauts who fell again and again stood up stubbornly again and again. They compiled heavy lessons into a book and became a typical teaching material to guide the follow-up work.

  Meng Zhizhong was 60 years old when he was appointed to preside over the development of Fengyun-1 C star. The previous setbacks made him unwilling. He analyzed that the reason why Fengyun-1 A-Star and B-Star failed to complete their tasks was not that the performance indicators did not meet the requirements, but that they died halfway due to low reliability. Developing a long-term, reliable and stable operational meteorological satellite has become the common goal of the team.

  On May 10th, 1999, Fengyun-1 C star was successfully launched. This launch was later selected as one of the three major events in the last year of the 20th century in China, which was engraved on the China Millennium Monument. In August 2000, the World Meteorological Organization listed the satellite in the world operational meteorological satellite sequence.

  Fengyun-1 star C made a beautiful "turnaround". It has been running stably in orbit for 7 years, and is known as "the first long-lived satellite in sun-synchronous orbit", which has opened a new page in China’s meteorological satellite industry.

  Since then, Fengyun Satellite’s development has become smoother and smoother.

  In 2002, Fengyun-1 D star was launched, becoming one of the longest-lived remote sensing satellites in China. Fengyun-2 C satellite launched in 2004 was the most widely used operational satellite in China at that time, and was highly appraised by the World Meteorological Organization, and was listed as one of the important operational satellites of the global meteorological satellite observation network. From 2006 to 2014, China launched four Fengyun-2 series satellites, which provoked the burden of meteorological support for major national events.

  In 2008, on the eve of the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games, Fengyun-3, China’s second-generation sun-synchronous orbit meteorological satellite, was launched. Since then, Fengyun-3′ s B, C and D stars have been launched one after another, realizing the upgrading of Fengyun-1. They operate in a network with complementary functions, and realize the detection from two-dimensional imaging to three-dimensional detection, and from single optics to full-spectrum wide-spectrum detection, which greatly shortens the update time of global numerical weather forecast, prolongs the forecasting time and further improves the forecasting accuracy.

  In the international "dark war", one star does the work of two stars.

  On January 15, 2021, the price of Taihu short-legged vegetables in Shanghai vegetable market doubled compared with 10 days ago. The local media found that this has something to do with the recent cold wave. According to the forecast of the Meteorological Observatory, there was another cold wave on January 16, and the local vegetable supply unit deployed ahead of schedule to fully carry out the emergency supply work.

  Weather changes affect people’s clothing, travel and even all aspects of life. Tang Shihao, director of the Remote Sensing Application Office of the National Satellite Meteorological Center and chief designer of Fengyun Meteorological Satellite Application System, said that it is only one of Fengyun Satellite’s "basic skills" to provide support for accurately forecasting the cold wave and monitoring its development and influence.

  In particular, a new generation of geostationary meteorological satellites — — The successful launch of Fengyun-4 A satellite has made China’s meteorological satellite technology change from following and running in parallel to running in parallel and leading, which has further improved China’s meteorological comprehensive ability.

  Recalling the development and launch of Fengyun-4 A star, Chen Xiaojie felt like a fierce competition.

  In 2016, as if agreed in advance, the development of a new generation of geostationary meteorological satellites in China, the United States, Europe and Japan all reached a critical juncture, and everyone was secretly struggling.

  In addition to the fact that European satellites have not yet been launched for various reasons, in early November 2016, Japan took the lead in launching the "Himawari 9" satellite. This satellite adopts many American technologies and products and will replace the "Sunflower 8" previously launched by the country.

  On November 19th, a new generation of geostationary meteorological satellite GOES-R was launched. According to industry evaluation, compared with previous meteorological satellites, the leap brought by this satellite is like changing from black-and-white TV to high-definition color TV.

  On December 11th, China’s Fengyun-4 A star was launched.

  Chen Xiaojie said that Fengyun-4 A star not only leads the world in its comprehensive observation ability to the earth, but also is the first geostationary meteorological satellite in the world to realize the comprehensive observation of "multi-spectral two-dimensional imaging+hyperspectral three-dimensional detection+ultra-narrow-band lightning imaging" by a single satellite.

  In the past, the interference between vertical detection instruments and imaging observation instruments has always been an international problem. The previous practice in Europe was to put the two on two satellites respectively.

  Compared with international competitors, the performance of Fengyun-4 A star is not inferior. Some people describe this star as doing the work of two stars at the same time.

  According to Dong Yaohai, chief designer of Fengyun-4 satellite system, the satellite has realized the simultaneous operation of multiple loads with moving optical components through the self-developed SAST-5000 satellite platform, and all loads coexist harmoniously.

  The multi-channel scanning imaging radiometer carried by the satellite was the most advanced radiation imager for geostationary satellites in China at that time, which could scan the eastern hemisphere every 15 minutes with the highest spatial resolution of 500 meters. "The accuracy of 500 meters is equivalent to placing a few candles a few kilometers away for a geostationary orbit close to 36,000 kilometers high, and it can be seen clearly." Dong Yaohai said that this accuracy is equivalent to the GOES-R satellite launched by the United States at the same time.

  At the same time, the interferometric atmospheric vertical detector carried by Fengyun-4 A star can detect the atmosphere vertically; China’s first satellite-borne lightning imager can be used to stare at China and its surrounding areas with wide-angle lenses, and it can take 500 photos every second to record the frequency and intensity of lightning.

  Fifteen years later, meteorological comprehensive strength leads the world.

  Starting this year, Fengyun family will be "added".

  According to the China Meteorological Bureau, the second satellite of Fengyun-4 — — Fengyun-4 B star, the development work has been basically completed. According to the plan, it will be launched this year.

  The load of Fengyun-4 B star has been optimized. For example, multi-channel scanning imaging radiometer, some channels have been locally optimized; The spatial resolution of the atmospheric vertical detector has also been improved.

  At the same time, a fast imager has been added to this satellite, which can flexibly observe different areas according to instructions by adjusting the lens, and the resolution is the highest among the global geostationary meteorological satellites at present.

  Tang Shihao is looking forward to this. He said that at present, Fengyun-4 A star images China and its surrounding areas once every five minutes, with the highest resolution of 500 meters. Some weather phenomena with smaller scale and shorter duration may be missed. The fast imager carried by Fengyun-4 B star can image millions of square kilometers once a minute, with the highest resolution of about 250 meters, which has stronger monitoring ability for small and medium-sized weather systems.

  E-Star Fengyun-3, which China plans to launch this year, will be the world’s first meteorological satellite in the morning and evening orbit. At present, the global polar-orbiting meteorological satellites are all in the morning or afternoon orbit, which means that their observation period is in the morning or afternoon. The E-Star Fengyun-3 will be observed at dawn and dusk, which can make up for the current observation gap and improve the accuracy and timeliness of global numerical weather forecast.

  Tang Shihao introduced that after the E-Star Fengyun-3 and Fengyun-3 series satellites currently in orbit are networked, the daily observation time distribution will be more uniform, and the meteorological data of morning and evening time will be obtained. In addition, in the past, Fengyun satellite could only be observed by infrared and microwave instruments at night, while Fengyun-3 E-star was equipped with low-light-level observation equipment, which had the ability to observe visible light at night.

  The reporter learned from the China Meteorological Bureau that the Fengyun satellite planned to be launched in China during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period will further enrich its orbital types. For example, in the geostationary orbit, there will be Fengyun satellites with different orbital positions, which will be observed by optical and microwave means. In low orbit, in addition to the morning and afternoon orbit and the morning and dusk orbit, China will also launch precipitation satellites to the low inclination orbit, mainly to monitor the precipitation in low latitudes.

  Tang Shihao said that the development of Fengyun satellite in the future mainly includes improving the monitoring ability of atmospheric wind field, cloud and rain atmosphere and its vertical structure, improving monitoring accuracy and monitoring timeliness, and enhancing the cooperative mobile observation ability of satellites.
