85% of the accidents were in driving without a license. Why is the "Old Man’s Music" repeatedly banned?

Original Four Elephant Studio Abiding by Traffic Rules

On the first day of 2024, it was reported that a generation of "road killers" would withdraw from the stage of the times.

The Beijing Municipal Traffic Management Bureau issued a regulation saying that from January 1, 2024, illegal electric three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles are not allowed to drive on the road, and they are not allowed to park in public places such as roads, squares and parking lots. Compliance products can go to Beijing B license and can only drive outside the Sixth Ring Road.

From 2006, the manufacturer "Reading" launched an SUV-type four-wheel electric vehicle, and "Laotoule" experienced a sharp decline from street explosion to frequent accidents.

What have you experienced in these 17 years? Why is the illegal "old man music" as a blind spot of traffic supervision always banned?

Text | Paella Diagram | Four Elephants Design Department

At the end of 2023, the news that a 22-year-old female teacher in Nanyang, Henan Province was knocked down by a 70-year-old man and died after being dragged, once again aroused people’s anger and resistance to this "road killer".

This is just the tip of the iceberg. According to the statistics of Beijing Traffic Management Department, in the first half of 2023, among the traffic accidents in the city, the proportion of illegal electric three-and four-wheeled vehicles was nearly 10%. In 2022, there were 131 traffic accidents involving illegal electric tricycles in Beijing, with 138 deaths.

Once upon a time, old people’s music was encouraged because of environmental protection and convenience, and even many regions promulgated laws and regulations that allowed old people to travel happily. What caused its reputation that everyone shouted and beat now?

It should be said that back in 2006, when the concept of new energy vehicles and "oil to electricity" was the hottest, the electric vehicle manufacturer "Reading" launched an SUV-type four-wheel electric vehicle. This product, which people have never seen before, is cheaper than the standard electric vehicle, smaller in size, lower in speed, and more protected from the wind and the sun than the ordinary electric two-wheeled vehicle. It can be said that it is a perfect combination of the two advantages, especially suitable for the elderly as a means of transportation.

Around 2013, the output of Laotoule entered a period of rapid growth, with an annual growth rate of more than 50%, especially in third-and fourth-tier towns and rural areas, which mushroomed.

Until 2020, when the number of electric vehicles in China is less than 5 million, the number of low-speed three-and four-wheeled vehicles has already exceeded 10 million.

Although it provides convenience for the elderly, the huge army of "Laodule" still brings great trouble to the work of road safety and traffic control departments.

A large number of unlicensed, driving without a license and randomly parked electric three-and four-wheeled vehicles have made pedestrians and drivers complain and even caused serious traffic accidents, which has violated the original intention of providing convenience for people.

According to the standards stipulated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, although the name of "Laotoule" is "low-speed electric vehicle", the speed limit on urban roads has reached the level of ordinary motor vehicles, and the situation of letting driving without a license go unchecked and not obeying traffic laws and regulations will easily pose a threat to traffic safety.

Due to frequent accidents, local traffic control departments have gradually strengthened the control of low-speed electric vehicles. At the end of 2018, six ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Low-speed Electric Vehicles, requiring the people’s governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government to organize the clean-up and rectification of low-speed electric vehicles. It is strictly forbidden to increase the production capacity of low-speed electric vehicles and strengthen the standardized management of low-speed electric vehicles.

Since then, the output of "Laotoule" has entered a negative growth period. In 2021, the total output has been less than 400,000 vehicles. It is not enough to limit the production capacity. Some areas have begun to restrict the "Laotoule" on the road.

Taking Beijing as an example, in July 2021, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and other five departments jointly issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Illegal Electric Three-and Four-Wheelers.

It is clearly stipulated that electric three-wheeled vehicles belong to motor vehicles and are not listed in the Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products. Illegal three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles whose vehicle performance does not meet the technical standards for motor vehicle safety will be "banned" from production, sales and purchase.

No unit or individual may add illegal electric three-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicles, and from January 1, 2024, illegal vehicles will not be allowed to drive on the road or park in public places such as roads, squares and parking lots, even working vehicles such as postal delivery, landscaping and sanitation departments are no exception.

This historic step means that the "grey zone" that has existed on the road for nearly 20 years will no longer exist.

In addition to Beijing, Shanghai, Anhui, Fujian and other regions have also strengthened the management of "Old Man Le" and prohibited illegal vehicles from going on the road. I believe that in the near future, more provinces and cities will implement more standardized management systems, which will certainly sacrifice the convenience of some people, but it will guarantee the safety of more people.

Have you ever had a friction with "Old Man Le"? Do you support this provision? Welcome to share your opinions in the comments section.

March 30, 2020  

Google was sentenced to monopoly and may face these five penalties.

The U.S. district federal court recently sentenced Google, saying that it monopolized the search and advertising markets and violated the U.S. antitrust law.

Judge Amit P. Mehta said in his ruling that "Google is a monopolist" and said that these actions of Google violated Article 2 of the Sherman Act: it is forbidden for anyone to "monopolize, attempt to monopolize or collude with others to monopolize any part of any trade or business".

Judge Mehta pointed out in a 277-page ruling that Google almost controls 90% of the online search market and 95% of the smartphone market. There are also details of the agreement between Google and those browser developers and mobile device manufacturers, such as how to divide and pre-install Google search as the default engine. Google used these agreements to squeeze the market share of competitors, and the incentives for innovation and investment decreased, and the advertising fees also went up.

At present, it is only a preliminary judgment, which only involves the issue of corporate responsibility and does not involve specific punishment measures. The next decision may require it to stop some business activities, and may even split its search business. In addition, Google is also facing another federal antitrust case about advertising technology, which is expected to be heard in September.

Kent Walker, president of Google’s global affairs, said that he would appeal the ruling. He stressed that Google can dominate because it has built a best and most practical search engine, which is good for consumers and advertisers.

Some people have commented that this is one of the most important antitrust cases in this century, and it is also the beginning of a series of cases to be filed against large technology companies, which may profoundly change the business operation mode of Internet technology giants. This case may have an impact on other countries’ antitrust lawsuits against Google, Apple, Amazon and Meta (the parent companies of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp).

The last anti-monopoly ruling with such great influence dates back to more than 20 years ago, when the protagonist was Microsoft.

Complete award: https://assets.bwbx.io/documents/users/iqjhwhbfdfxiu/rz1ull.0yqbo/v0.

First, the great victory of the Ministry of Justice, Apple Meta Amazon is also taking a lawsuit.

This ruling is a great victory for the US Department of Justice, because they have been accusing Google of illegal monopoly in the Internet search market.

In 2020, the US Department of Justice and some states took Google to court, accusing it of illegally consolidating its market position and crowding out potential competitors such as Bing and DuckDuckGo by paying huge sums of money to companies such as Apple and Samsung to make Google search the default option on mobile phones and browsers.

"These agreements have given Google an unmatched scale for more than a decade," Judge Mehta wrote.

In September 2023, the case was officially launched in court. Judge Mehta agreed with a part of the view in the lawsuit of the Ministry of Justice: Google did monopolize the "general search service" and "general search text ads". That is to say, through exclusive distribution agreement in the American market, the market monopoly position of general search service and general text advertisement has been established.

Google does invest huge sums of money in browsers such as Apple’s Safari and Mozilla’s Firefox every year to ensure that it can become the default search engine. In 2021, in order to maintain the default status of their search engines, Google paid Apple about $18 billion, and signed similar agreements with Mozilla and Samsung. It also makes the default status of some apps a condition for Android phones to access the Play Store. In addition, an expert witness of Google inadvertently revealed that Google and Apple shared 36% of Safari search advertising revenue.

Kent Walker, president of Google’s global affairs, said that he would appeal this ruling. He said: "Although the court’s ruling recognizes that our search engine is the best, the conclusion seems to mean that we should not let everyone use it so easily. In the process of continuing our appeal, we will still focus on making things that everyone finds useful and convenient to use. "

The CEO of DuckDuckGo stood up against Google in the trial. He supported the ruling, but he also knew that the struggle was far from over. In a statement, SVP Kamyl Bazbaz, who is in charge of public affairs at DuckDuckGo, said, "As we have seen in the EU and other regions, Google will try its best not to change. However, we know that there is a strong demand for alternative search engines in the market, and this ruling will help us provide more choices. "

During the trial, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella expressed his concern about Google’s dominant position in the market. He believed that the relationship between Google and Apple had formed a "Google network", a situation close to "oligopoly". If Google continues to develop without hindrance, it is likely to dominate AI.

This is the first ruling in a series of science and technology monopoly cases filed by the US government in recent years. Legal scholars predict that this ruling will affect the government’s anti-monopoly litigation against other technology giants.

It has been twenty years since the anti-monopoly lawsuit of the Ministry of Justice against Microsoft in 2001 and the next anti-monopoly case against Google.(The Google case was filed in 2020). Since 2020, more similar cases have appeared soon.

At present, Amazon, Apple and Meta are all facing monopoly lawsuits filed by the US government. The Justice Department has sued Apple, accusing it of making it difficult for consumers to give up the iPhone. The FTC sued Meta, arguing that Meta suppressed emerging competitors, and also sued Amazon, accusing them of squeezing sellers in the online market.

Second, if you lose the case, Google may face five penalties.

In the United States, the default search engine for every new mobile phone is almost Google. For users, Monday’s ruling on Google may mean that Google will no longer be the ubiquitous boss in the future.

At present, Judge Mehta needs to make a further ruling on how to deal with Google. He has arranged a hearing in September and will discuss specific punishment measures then.

Next, he may order a major adjustment to the default settings of the new device, requiring users to choose their own default search engine before the first search, and may also ask Google to sell some of its services.

However, because Google has appealed this judgment, the whole legal process may be delayed for many years, and may even never be implemented.

Here are five possible punishments proposed by professionals.

1. It is forbidden for Google to continue to sign exclusive distribution agreements with large companies.

There are three main ways for American courts to solve the monopoly problem: ordering the end of illegal acts, making rules to prevent them from happening again, and taking any necessary additional measures.

In order to meet the first requirement, the most common prediction is that Mehta will prohibit Google from continuing to sign agreements on default engines with companies such as Apple, Samsung and Mozilla.

"At the very least, the Ministry of Justice will ask for an injunction prohibiting Google from engaging in acts that the court considers inappropriate." William Kovacic said that he was a member of the antitrust regulator of the US Federal Trade Commission.

Location is very important. Mehta’s ruling found that even if users can easily change the default settings, most people will not change them.

But some people do prefer Google. Bing is the default search engine for some Microsoft devices, which is why "Google.com" is the most popular search term on Bing.

In the future, users who like to use Google may have to search for "Google.com" in other search engines.

2. Remind users to change Google more frequently.

Mehta can follow the example of the EU. The European Union has been asking Google to provide search engine options on Android devices for years, and recently extended this rule to Chrome browsers.

This regulation in Europe has not made Google’s substitutes popular, because users still recognize Google more than users. The horse has gone out of the stable, but one problem with free choice is that it may not reduce Google’s market share. Herbert Hovenkamp, an antitrust scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, said.

However, if Mehta takes this approach, he should further improve the EU rules, said SVP Kamyl Bazbaz of DuckDuckGo’s public affairs department. Users should see the prompt to choose a search engine regularly, not just once. At the same time, users should not be disturbed by Google pop-ups, and Google can’t pop up from time to time to remind users to switch the default search engine back to Google. When you use another search engine for the first time, you should also be able to set it as the default with one click.

In this way, some people may give up Google more firmly, but various frequent default settings reminders may upset some people.

3. Stripping the search business from Google

In recent years, the judicial department is more inclined to take structural punishment measures, such as requiring companies to divest some businesses. The most famous example is the split of the telephone giant Bell Company in 1980s, after which a number of independent companies including AT&T were created.

However, not all cases will be supported by the court. For example, in the case of Microsoft, they lost the antitrust lawsuit in the 1990s, and it was not split in the end, but Microsoft finally agreed to a series of behavioral adjustments.

Regulators prefer to divest the company’s business once and for all, so that the problem can be solved once and for all, and there is no need to continuously monitor whether the company complies with the regulations.

The difficulty is to determine which business parts should be divested. John Kwoka, an economics professor at Northeastern University, pointed out that the key is to identify the businesses that Google has and "distort its own incentive mechanism". For example, if the search business is divested, Google’s Android system may be allowed to cooperate with more search engines.

Hovenkamp is skeptical about whether stripping off the search business can really increase market competition. After all, this service is very popular. He said, "Even if Google search is sold, it will only give another company the dominant position. I’m not sure what kind of split can really be effective."

Some financial analysts who specialize in Google’s parent company Alphabet are also not optimistic about this practice. Moody’s rating VP Emile El Nems believes that "Alphabet’s large scale, strong execution and stable financial situation have reduced legal risks and the possible financial and business model impact."

Some legal experts have imagined a possible future scenario: search results are provided by Google, but advertising services are handled by a company separated from Google. One possible problem with this arrangement is that the accuracy of advertising may decline and may even become more annoying.

4. Force Google to share data and algorithms with competitors.

Judge Mehta emphasized in his ruling that Google received far more searches than any other search engine, and these data promoted the optimization of their algorithms, so it had a good user experience.

One of the most radical punishments is to ask Google to share data or algorithms with its competitors to make them stronger.

Rebecca Haw Allensworth, a professor at Vanderbilt University, said: "Courts usually don’t like to force competitors to share such data, but judges seem to be very concerned about how Google’s behavior weakens competitors’ competitiveness in the scale of search data." "Compulsory data sharing can directly solve this problem."

Bazbaz Baz of DuckDuckGo mentioned that all the queries users make on Google and all the results they click on are data that may be shared.

However, he needs to provide necessary technical support and customer service to ensure that other applications can also obtain Google’s search results, and can integrate these results into his own service to provide users with a competitive search experience.

Other competitors believe that Google is not doing well enough in this regard at present.

"Only by taking various punishment measures can competitors enter the market and rely on the advantages of their own products for fair competition." Lee Hepner, senior lawyer of the American Economic Freedom Project, said.

Any method involving Google’s sharing of data may cause users’ privacy concerns. If the strength of competitors increases, they will also have a greater chance to get the default settings. This means that those users who prefer to use Google may need to do some extra operations to return to their accustomed Google search.

5. Strengthen supervision to prevent Google from getting worse.

The US Department of Justice will propose possible punishment measures to Judge Mehta, and Google will have the opportunity to refute it. At present, neither side has disclosed their specific requirements.

In some other antitrust cases, Google continues to restrict competition by designing products and changing policies, one of which is to make it difficult for competitors to bear the cost of competition.

Bazbaz Baz of DuckDuckGo judged, "Google will do everything it can to hinder progress." Therefore, he hopes that Judge Mehta can establish a regulatory body to implement these measures and ensure that Google can abide by these regulations.

He also hopes that Google is required to invest in public education programs to let users know the benefits of changing to a search engine. Through these regulatory and public relations measures, users may frequently hear information about Google’s search antitrust case for a long time to come.

Third, if you lose, the worst thing may be Firefox.

Although Google lost the case in Monday’s ruling, the court did not rule that Google should implement the appeal of the Ministry of Justice. It is unlikely that the court will force Apple to abandon Google as a search partner, but it may demand that the terms of the agreement be changed to create a level playing field, such as providing multiple searches instead of becoming the default search.

If Google is asked to withdraw its agreement with Apple, theoretically, after consumers open new devices for the first time, Safari interface will display different options-such as Microsoft Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc., and Google will become a parallel choice.

At the same time, Apple will not be able to get this huge sum of money from Google. This is really a major blow to it. On Monday, Apple’s share price fell by nearly 5%. However, Apple does have diversified businesses and a wide range of income sources, so it will not fall into financial difficulties.

At present, Apple has gradually got rid of its dependence on traditional Internet search engines through artificial intelligence technology.

Apple’s eyes are on AI, improving and enriching Siri’s functions, and introducing OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini chat bot into Apple’s mobile phone. Future consumers will be guided to Apple’s built-in AI and Siri instead of web browsers.

In the next few months, Apple’s system interface will change. The upcoming Apple Intelligence may change the way people use the iPhone and other devices. Once the new "type into Siri" function is implemented, users can query the AI assistant from anywhere on the iPhone, iPad or Mac interface without talking to Siri.

Apple’s coping strategy actually presents a feature of the struggle between the government and the technology industry. Technology is developing so fast that when the government liquidates it, the industry has entered the next innovation era. Apple will have the opportunity to reach new non-exclusive agreements with artificial intelligence companies such as Google, which will not violate the legal rules of the US government.

In contrast, the situation of another partner of Google is not optimistic.

Mozilla, a non-profit technology organization, is the developer of Firefox browser. After users enter text in Firefox browser and click query, the interface will automatically use Google’s search engine. According to the Mozilla Foundation’s recently published financial statement for 2021-2022, 510 million of the 593 million dollars in revenue came from Google’s search payment. If Google’s $510 million disappears completely, Mozilla will face a major financial crisis.

Mozilla first emerged in the late 1990s. At that time, the Internet Explorer browser developed by Microsoft almost had a monopoly position in the web browser market. As a community-driven project, Mozilla has been trying to break this situation. Monday’s ruling is a new challenge, or a setback, it encountered in the market dominated by giants. Earlier this year, Mozilla laid off about 60 employees and the CEO announced his resignation.

At present, Mozilla is still very brave and has not directly solved the survival problem that the ruling may pose. A spokesperson for Mozilla said, "Mozilla has always supported consumers’ competition and choice, especially in search. We are closely reviewing the court’s ruling, considering its potential impact on Mozilla, and how we can take active actions in the next step … Firefox will continue to provide a series of search options to satisfy users’ preferences and cultivate a competitive market."

Fourth, a lesson from the past: the Microsoft monopoly case finally ended in reconciliation.

The last important U.S. court ruling on science and technology antitrust was the Microsoft case in the 1990s.

In this trial against Google’s monopoly, Google repeatedly tried to explain the difference between this case and the case against Microsoft in that year. Google believes that today’s competition threshold in the search field is far lower than Microsoft’s control over personal computer software.

The current antitrust case against Microsoft has set the tone for the contest between the government and Google. The Ministry of Justice and some states believe that this search giant is following the old path of Microsoft, but the battlefield has shifted to different technology markets.

The general process is as follows:

Litigation: In May 1998, the U.S. Department of Justice, together with 19 states and the District of Columbia, filed an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft. The main reasons for the prosecution include: Microsoft abused its monopoly position in the operating system market, squeezed out its competitors through improper means, especially bundling Internet Explorer with Windows, and attacked Netscape Navigator of Netscape.

Preliminary judgment: In June, 2000, federal judge Thomas Penfield Jackson ruled that Microsoft violated antitrust and ordered Microsoft to split into two independent entities: one responsible for operating system business and the other responsible for software application business.

Appeal and settlement: Microsoft appealed this judgment. During the appeal, Microsoft continued to argue that their behavior was a legitimate business strategy, not anti-competitive behavior, while trying to reconcile with the government to avoid the company being split up. In June 2001, the court of appeal overturned the order to split the company, but upheld the ruling that Microsoft violated the anti-monopoly law. The case was remanded to a new judge.

Final settlement: After a series of negotiations, in November 2001, the US Department of Justice and Microsoft reached a settlement agreement. The agreement came into effect on November 1, 2002.

The main contents of reconciliation:

The final settlement agreement did not require the separation of Microsoft, which is a major difference from the original judgment.

After the settlement, science and technology critic Cringely wrote in his personal column that it is impossible to split Microsoft. Microsoft has firmly controlled the market, and only major internal mistakes can make it die. "Now the only way for Microsoft to die is to commit suicide."

In the end, the verdict on Microsoft weakened Microsoft’s dominant position in the technology industry and made room for other technology companies (such as Google and Apple) to develop. This case also affected the European Union, which made a similar ruling against Microsoft in 2004.

The US antitrust case against Microsoft also laid the foundation for the competition rules of digital giants at that time.

Take on the new era and new cultural mission and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation

General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important speech at the forum on cultural inheritance and development highly summarized the five outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, profoundly expounded the great significance of "two combinations", and clearly put forward the era tasks of continuing to promote cultural prosperity, building a cultural power and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point, which is of great practical significance for us to continuously deepen our understanding of the regularity of cultural construction, always strengthen our cultural self-confidence and build a socialist modern country in an all-round way.


1. Deeply understand and grasp the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization.


China has a long history of culture and profound Chinese civilization. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that there are many important elements in Chinese excellent traditional culture, which together shape the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization. A profound understanding and grasp of these outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization will help us to inherit the long and colorful Chinese civilization and build a modern Chinese civilization.


Chinese civilization has outstanding continuity. Chinese civilization is the only uninterrupted civilization in the world, which can be called a miracle in the history of human civilization. Chinese civilization has a long history. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China’s ancient culture contended and flourished unprecedentedly, which laid the foundation and trend of China culture. The Qin dynasty achieved great unity, and the culture of the Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties, Ming and Qing Dynasties continued and flourished. Since modern times, the cultural exchanges between China and the West have been deepening, which has not only enriched Chinese civilization, but also promoted the harmonious development of world civilization. Chinese civilization has outstanding continuity, which "fundamentally determines that the Chinese nation must follow its own path". Only when we know China from the long history and cultural continuity can we deeply understand ancient China, modern China and future China.


Chinese civilization has outstanding innovation. In the long history of more than 5,000 years, the Chinese nation has shown a strong spirit of innovation and creativity. From art to science and technology, from ideas to artifacts, from culture to system, they have created brilliant history and brilliant achievements. Ideologically, Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi and other world-famous thinkers have emerged. In science and technology, the four great inventions have profoundly influenced the process of human civilization; In the history of architecture, great projects such as Wan Li Great Wall, Dujiangyan and Forbidden City have been produced. In culture and art, he created great works such as the Book of Songs, Han Fu, Tang Poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu, Ming and Qing novels. The famous reforms of Shang Yang, Wang Anshi and the Reform Movement of 1898 in Chinese history all reflected the innovative consciousness of the Chinese nation. The outstanding innovation of Chinese civilization "fundamentally determines the enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation, respecting the past and not retro, and determines the fearless character of the Chinese nation that is not afraid of new challenges and is brave in accepting new things".


Chinese civilization has outstanding unity. The long and splendid Chinese civilization has become the spiritual bond that unites the Chinese nation. Both Mencius’s "Unity in One" and Dong Zhongshu’s "Unity in Spring and Autumn" regard unity as the most important and persistent content in China’s political tradition. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the idea of great unification has gradually occupied the core position of Chinese culture and is rooted in people’s hearts. All ethnic groups in China believe that division will ruin the country and destroy lives, while reunification will share peace and live and work in peace. Driven by this kind of thought and belief, although China has suffered from wars and divisions repeatedly in history, it still takes the pursuit and realization of reunification as the normal state of development. All ethnic groups live together and watch each other, gradually forming a harmonious relationship. The outstanding unity of Chinese civilization fundamentally "determines the common belief that the territory is inseparable, the country cannot be chaotic, the nation cannot be separated and civilization cannot be broken, determines that national unity is always the core of China’s core interests, and determines that a strong and unified country is the fate of people of all ethnic groups".


Chinese civilization has outstanding inclusiveness. Chinese civilization is broad and profound, advocating mutual respect, tolerance and learning among different cultural forms, and never rejecting any foreign culture. It can be said that pluralism and tolerance are one of the core values of Chinese civilization. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and Mohism contended and created a splendid pre-Qin culture. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced into China and soon became an integral part of Chinese culture. In history, the nomadic people in the north entered the mainland several times, and the cultures of all ethnic minorities were later integrated into the Chinese family. The ancient Silk Road has built a bridge for cultural exchanges between China and countries and regions along the route, and the achievements of civilization created by various countries have gradually become an element of Chinese culture. After Marxism was introduced into China, as a foreign culture, it was organically combined with Chinese excellent traditional culture, and Marxism was China-oriented. The outstanding inclusiveness of Chinese civilization "fundamentally determines the historical orientation of the Chinese nation’s exchanges and exchanges, determines the harmonious pattern of the coexistence of various religious beliefs in China, and determines the Chinese culture’s open mind to all world civilizations".


Chinese civilization has outstanding peace. The Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation, and China culture advocates harmony. Peace, harmony and harmony are the concepts that the Chinese nation has been pursuing and inheriting, and being kind to neighbors and being a family under the sun is the way that the Chinese nation has always pursued. All the dynasties in China took "peace and prosperity" as the highest goal of governing the country, and "harmony among all nations" as the way to deal with the relations between different ethnic groups and countries. There is no gene in the blood of the Chinese nation to invade others and claim hegemony. What Chinese civilization advocates is to cherish the world, establish oneself, uphold justice and uphold justice. The outstanding peace of Chinese civilization "fundamentally determines that China will always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of international order".


2. Deeply understanding and grasping the "two combinations" is "the greatest magic weapon for our success"


General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "It is the only way to open up and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics on the profound foundation of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, and to combine the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture. This is our regular understanding in exploring the road to Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest magic weapon for our success. " A profound understanding and grasp of this important conclusion will help us to constantly cultivate and create Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture in the new era and promote the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation.


"Two combinations" make "Marxism become China’s". Marxism is an irrefutable truth with universal applicability. But as Engels said, "Marx’s whole world outlook is not a doctrine, but a method." Marxism must be combined with the specific reality and historical and cultural traditions of various countries in order to show its vigorous vitality and vitality. During the various historical periods of China’s revolution, construction and reform, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people persisted in combining the basic principles of Marxism with China’s concrete reality, continued to promote the modernization of Marxism in China, and created one miracle after another. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the great historical initiative, our party has continuously deepened its understanding of communist party’s laws of governance, socialist construction and the development of human society, and more consciously realized that upholding and developing Marxism in the new era must be further combined with Chinese excellent traditional culture.


In the process of promoting the "second combination", our party has activated the long-standing Chinese civilization with the power of Marxist truth, promoted the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture with scientific standpoints and methods, and made the Chinese civilization glow with vitality again. At the same time, China’s excellent traditional culture also enriches Marxism with cultural nourishment, endows China Marxism with "a certain national form" and "China characteristics", and endows it with distinctive China style, China style and era connotation. The "two combinations" have created a new cultural life, making Marxism not only China’s, but also the era’s, allowing us to master the initiative of thought and culture, better use the "arrow" of Marxism to shoot the "right" of contemporary China, timely answer the major theoretical and practical problems facing the new era, and better use Marxism to lead the prosperity and development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture and promote the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation.


"Two combinations" make "Chinese excellent traditional culture modern". Chinese civilization has lasted for more than 5,000 years. Today, in order to better adapt to the modernization drive, exchange and learn from other countries’ civilizations on the international stage, show its permanent charm in the world, and make Chinese excellent traditional culture not only ancient and China, but also modern and world-wide, it needs to be further combined with Marxism. Only through the "two combinations", especially the use of Marxist standpoints and methods, can we strengthen the excavation and interpretation of Chinese excellent traditional culture and carry forward the Chinese civilization that spans time and space, transcends national boundaries and is full of eternal charm, so that it can cross time and space, show its global value and highlight the world significance of Chinese excellent traditional culture.


Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the historical process of promoting "two combinations", Chinese excellent traditional culture has been endowed with brand-new connotation of the times through creative transformation and innovative development, adapting to contemporary culture and coordinating with modern society, showing distinctive contemporary value. In the new era, our Party has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization, and provided China’s plan and China’s wisdom for human modernization, among which the rich ideas, humanistic spirit and moral norms contained in Chinese excellent traditional culture are condensed, making Chinese excellent traditional culture go to the world in a subtle way. At the same time, our party has also integrated the values of China’s excellent traditional culture into the diplomacy of big countries, promoted the building of a community of human destiny, and promoted China’s excellent traditional culture to become world-wide and modern, laying a solid foundation for us to build a new form of human civilization and a modern civilization of the Chinese nation.


"Two combinations" formed and sublimated Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road, theory, system and culture. Our party has always insisted on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China, which undoubtedly includes the reality of China culture in different periods. After the socialist transformation was basically completed, when Comrade Mao Zedong began to explore the road of "Chinese-style" socialist construction, he proposed "the second combination". At the beginning of reform and opening up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping clearly put forward: "Combine the universal truth of Marxism with the concrete reality of our country, take our own road and build socialism with China characteristics." Our party led the people to push forward the reform and opening-up, and formed Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road, theory, system and culture.


Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, with the Supreme Leader as the main representative, have insisted on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, put forward a series of original new ideas, new ideas and new strategies for governing the country, and wrote a new chapter in the modernization of Marxism in China. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, rooted in China’s excellent traditional culture and based on the great practice of contemporary China, is contemporary China Marxism and 21st century Marxism. It is the essence of Chinese culture, which contains distinctive Chinese cultural characteristics and eternal Chinese cultural values, and provides spiritual motivation and fundamental follow-up for the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture and the construction of Chinese modern civilization.


The "two combinations" not only laid a solid foundation for the road, but also extended the cultural foundation of the road in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, giving Chinese modernization a profound cultural support. The "two combinations" allow us to make full use of the precious resources of Chinese excellent traditional culture in a broader cultural space and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations. It is a profound summary of our party’s historical experience in the modernization of Marxism in China and a profound grasp of the law of the development of Chinese civilization, indicating that our party’s understanding of China’s roads, theories and systems has reached a new height, indicating that our party’s historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence have reached a new height, indicating that our party has promoted cultural innovation in inheriting Chinese excellent traditional culture.


3. Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point


Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has continuously deepened his understanding of the regularity of socialist cultural construction, and put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new conclusions. This is a scientific summary of the practical experience of the Party’s leadership cultural construction in the new era, an important part of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and provides a fundamental basis for continuing to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point.


Adhere to the "two combinations". In the process of two-way interaction and two-way empowerment, the "two combinations" promoted the modernization of Marxism in China and the internationalization of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Therefore, to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must unswervingly adhere to the "two combinations." Under the guidance of the basic principles of Marxism, we should inherit and carry forward the reasonable core of Chinese excellent traditional culture that transcends time and space and has eternal value, and constantly enrich the connotation of Marxism with the values of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Constantly explore and expound the times value of Chinese excellent traditional culture, promote its adaptation to modern society, truly realize its creative transformation and innovative development, and consolidate the foundation of cultural self-confidence. Find out the combination and convergence point between the basic principles of Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture, build a solid foundation of cultural self-confidence, and let Chinese culture go to the world better and become an important force leading the trend of world civilization.


Follow the objective laws of cultural construction. The development of everything has its own laws. To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we should meet the needs of Chinese modernization and follow the objective laws of cultural construction. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era is a scientific guide for us to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation and must be firmly adhered to. To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we should adhere to the Party’s overall leadership over cultural work, the guidance of the Party’s innovation theory in the new era, the cultural development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the people-centered work orientation on the basis of promoting Chinese modernization and in accordance with the laws of socialist cultural construction. Strengthen the education of ideals and beliefs, carry forward the great spirit of party building, cultivate and practice socialist core values, prosper and develop cultural undertakings and industries, build a strong sense of the Chinese nation’s community, and constantly enrich the people’s spiritual world.


Strengthen cultural self-confidence. Only when a nation is full of confidence in its cultural tradition, cultural concept and value system, as well as its innovative vitality, creative potential and development toughness, can it consciously adhere to its national cultural position, adhere to its national cultural tradition and continue its blood. To better shoulder the new cultural mission at the new historical starting point and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must always strengthen our cultural self-confidence. It is necessary to accurately grasp the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization and deeply understand that this is the endless source of strength for Chinese civilization and the fundamental reason why Chinese civilization has become the only uninterrupted civilization in the world; A deep understanding of the revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture formed by the party leading the people in the long-term struggle is a valuable spiritual wealth and powerful spiritual motivation for the party and the people to continue to advance; We will put our firm cultural self-confidence into concrete practice and mission, promote the construction of a strong cultural country and civilization in the new era, and push Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cultural undertakings to a new level.


Adhere to openness and tolerance. There are hundreds of rivers, and tolerance is great. Openness and tolerance provide a broad space for human civilization and symbiosis. To undertake a new cultural mission and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we need to treat all human civilizations with an open and inclusive attitude. Respect the diversity of world civilizations, understand the value connotation of different civilizations with a broad mind, advocate the coexistence of civilizations and oppose cultural hegemony; Promote exchanges and mutual learning between different civilizations, transcend the barriers between civilizations with civilized exchanges, transcend the conflict of civilizations with mutual learning of civilizations, and make human civilization more colorful; With an open mind to all world civilizations, we should learn from all outstanding achievements of human civilization, promote the localization of foreign cultures, constantly cultivate and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture in the new era, and constantly enhance the soft power and international influence of Chinese culture.


Adhere to integrity and innovation. Being upright and innovative is the natural gene of Chinese excellent traditional culture and the successful password of Chinese civilization. To be upright, it is necessary to adhere to the Marxist position and the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, so that Chinese culture can prosper and develop in the right direction; At the same time, we should adhere to the standpoint of Chinese culture, its timeless philosophical thought, humanistic spirit and moral concept, and consistently inherit the blood of Chinese civilization. Innovation is based on the reality of contemporary China, combined with the conditions of today’s times, to handle the relationship between inheritance and development, to do a good job in the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional culture, and to give Chinese civilization a new era connotation. We should make overall plans for the "two overall situations", scientifically answer the questions of China, the world, the people and the times, innovate and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture, and constantly create new glories of Chinese culture.

EXEED Starway Dongchun Li has strong strength to support the speed of Starway.

  [Aika Auto 2019 Guangzhou Auto Show Original]

  On November 22nd, Mr. Dongchun Li, Executive Deputy General Manager of EXEED Star Road Marketing Center, was a guest of Aika Automobile during the Guangzhou Auto Show. In response to our doubts about the development speed of Starway, he told us that as a high-end brand of Chery, all the development of Starway is based on the strong strength of Chery Automobile, and the completion of product layout within one year is also due to the technical precipitation of Chery in the past 22 years. The following is a record of the conversation:

EXEED Xingtu Dongchun Li

  Aika car:What kind of information does Starway want to convey to consumers at the Guangzhou Auto Show, and what products or strategic highlights are there?

  Dongchun Li:At the Guangzhou Auto Show, Starway brought the entire SUV family’s product portfolio. The first car is the TX series listed at this year’s Shanghai Auto Show, and the second car was pre-sold at the Chengdu Auto Show. LX, which was officially listed on October 8, is also on the booth today. Most importantly, this time we bring the VX concept car. It is expected that the production car will be launched in the first half of next year. This car has made some deepening on the design language of "wisdom and sense aesthetics". The VX concept car has added the element of strength on the basis of the previous design. This is a product that is positioned in a medium and large SUV. The length of the car is close to 5 meters, and the wheelbase has reached more than 2.9 meters. The body is relatively large. From the adjustment of the grille to the design of the side style, the elements of strength are reflected.

  At the same time, the label of Starway is intelligent, and we are still ahead in the market in terms of intelligent configuration at present. For example, Lion 3.0 Xiongshi Zhiyun system can include deep face recognition, realize face-brushing payment, voice interaction, and have the function of learning and understanding, which is rare in other cars.

  Aika car:Judging from today’s press conference, Starway unveiled the VX concept car, the new version of TXTXL, and the previously listed LX, and launched such a powerful product matrix in just one year after the brand was established, which really highlighted the "Starway Speed". I especially want to know, what supports this star speed?

EXEED Xingtu Dongchun Li

  Dongchun Li:Star Road TXTXL has launched three cars in half a year since it was listed in April, and the speed is really very fast. At the same time, the VX concept car released today is also expected to be mass-produced in the first half of next year, which is equivalent to a year from A-class SUV to medium-sized SUV to medium-sized SUV. The whole layout will be finished in one year.

  At the same time, the development speed of Star Channel is not inferior to that of product layout. At present, the number of Xingtu terminal stores, the number of 4S stores has exceeded 100, and the service network has exceeded 200. By the end of next year, the number of our terminal stores will reach 200, which is also a very fast layout speed.

  So, what supports this speed? First, Starway is a high-end brand of Chery, and all its development is based on the strong strength of Chery. Second, Chery has been developing for 22 years since 1997, and there is a lot of precipitation in technology research and development. Third, Chery has reached about 8 million users at home and abroad, and has a very rich user base. Fourth, our entire R&D capability, especially in technology and modeling, has spread all over the world. We have a technology R&D center in Silicon Valley, USA, and a modeling R&D center in Europe, including Shanghai and Brazil, which is also the basis for ensuring that Starway stays ahead from design to technology. Fifth, in terms of recruiting talents, we also recruit very professional and leading talents from all over the world in various fields. For example, in terms of design, we recruited the designer of BMW, and many classic models of BMW came from him. So many foundations and the advantages of resource integration ensure that Starway can launch so many products at such a fast speed.

  Aika car:At present, in addition to the SUV product matrix, in terms of product strategy, will Starway have more abundant plans in the future?

  Dongchun Li:The future star path will definitely reach a state of balanced development. At present, we cut into the SUV market, mainly because the whole SUV has developed rapidly, and the advantages of independent brands in SUV are still relatively large. At present, the passenger car market has a total sales volume of about 20 million vehicles a year, including about 10 million cars, 8.5 million SUVs, and the rest including MPV, new energy and other vehicles, with a total of more than one million vehicles. About 85% of the sales data of cars are joint venture cars, but 50% or slightly higher sales in SUVs are created by independent brands. Therefore, it will be relatively easy to cut in from the SUV. Of course, Starway has a long-term plan for the future, including cars and new energy sources. If there is the latest news, we will share it with our media friends in time.

  Aika car:Looking forward to more surprises from Starway, we saw that Starway also brought us a brand-new version of TX/TXL series at the scene. Would you please tell us about these new products?

EXEED Xingtu Dongchun Li

  Dongchun Li:It has been 7 months since TX/TXL was put on the market, and these two cars have their own characteristics. In terms of size, TX length is 4690, TXL is 4.8 meters fast, TX is a little more than 2.7 meters on the wheelbase, and TXL is going to be 2.8 meters. At the same time, there are some differences between the two cars in terms of configuration combination, which gives customers more choices. Today, we released several new versions, which further enriched various configurations on the basis of the original TX and TXL models.

  For example, through the customer feedback of TXTXL in the past seven months, we found that the configuration still needs to be optimized. For example, customers have certain requirements for electric trunk, 360 HD images and seat materials. So, this time we all made some adjustments. No matter from design to final configuration combination, including color, it is ultimately customer-centered, and we will match according to this.

  Related content review:

  The comprehensive performance of TXL, the first star measurement in the whole network, is almost equal to that of Link 01.

  The first test of the whole network, the appearance of LX is cool enough, and the configuration is sincere.

  2019 Guangzhou Auto Show: EXEED Starway VX concept car released

Luxury + smart, is the new Hongqi H5 worth buying? Give you pertinent advice

When it comes to Hongqi, I believe everyone is familiar with it. From the early "big shot" cars to today’s Guochao representatives, it has always been at the forefront of the times. As an entry-level car of the Hongqi brand, the Hongqi H5 has won the favor of many consumers as soon as it is listed.

From the new red flag H5 price range 159,800 – 225,900 yuan, take the route of the people, with the car market more and more young, the new red flag H5 adopts a short front overhang/long rear overhang design, plus a low center of gravity and a slippery back roof, the overall shape is more fashionable and dynamic, is catering to the preferences of contemporary young people.

The new Hongqi H5 focuses on "smart + luxury". It is said that the appearance, configuration and power are all good. How is the actual performance? I will explore with you.

The appearance design is more fashionable, the oriental aesthetic is new Chinese style, seizing the hearts of young people?

In an era where beauty is justice, let’s take a look at appearance first.

We tested the 2023 2.0T Zhilian Banner Chang version. The color scheme is a very atmospheric "Quantum Silver Grey", which looks full of aura. Although the appearance caters to the young market, it still retains the majestic atmosphere of the red flag. The iconic red logo extends from the middle of the grille to the front hatch cover. The front face adopts a large-size air intake grille design, which is quite domineering. The LED headlight groups on both sides are sharp-eyed and support automatic headlights, LED daytime running lights, adjustable headlight height and delayed shutdown.

From the side, the roof line begins to slide after passing through the B-pillar and extends to the rear of the car, which looks very sporty. The tail is joined with the mainstream through-taillights, and the overall shape is more fashionable and technological.

Desktop is a map, vehicle-level OTA upgrade, smarter configuration

Entering the car, the overall design looks simple and atmospheric, the three multi-function steering wheels feel good, and the "scroll wheel" operation on the left and right sides is also quite silky. The center console is equipped with a 12.6-inch central control screen, as well as an instrument screen and a HUD head-up display. In the era of intelligence, Hongqi is also catching up with the trend of the times, and the intelligent level of the new Hongqi H5 is also quite outstanding. Compared with the network ecology of other models, the ecological integration is good. The new interactive design of "desktop is map" is really quite practical, and other user scenarios such as travel, accommodation, clothing, food, listening, watching, and payment revolve around the map.

As for voice commands, the editor tried precise commands such as "close the main driver’s window" and "open the sunroof", which are completely OK, but what is more surprising is that it can also issue vague commands, such as the editor saying "I’m hot", and the vehicle will automatically reduce the temperature of the air conditioner. The editor checked and found that there are as many as 17 functions of voice control, so you don’t need to do it if you can move the port.

In addition, car owners can also use the "Hongqi Zhilian" APP to remotely find a car, unlock it, warm up the car in advance, turn on the air conditioner and other operations. It can be seen that Hongqi understands young people.

It is worth mentioning that the new Hongqi H5 supports OTA upgrades for the whole vehicle, which means that in addition to OTA upgrades for the five major systems of auxiliary driving, infotainment, power, chassis, body comfort, interconnection, and 40 + controllers, it also supports FOTA firmware upgrades, which means that the update can be completed at home without having to go to the store.

Wheelbase over 2.9 meters, more space, seat upgrades, leapfrog driving experience

As a B-class car, the new Hongqi H5 has a length, width and height of 4988/1875/1470mm, and a wheelbase of 2920mm, which is half a circle larger than the Accord and Camry models of the same level. Therefore, it performs quite well in actual space, and the riding space has reached the level of C-class cars.

Riding comfort has always been an important indicator for consumers to buy a car. In terms of seats, the new Hongqi H5 is wrapped in imitation leather + genuine leather, which feels soft and comfortable to sit on. The wrapping on both sides is also very strong, and the back support is also very good. The front seats can also be electrically adjusted in 8 directions, supporting ventilation, heating, 4-way electric leg supports, and what’s more, there is an 8-point pneumatic massage, which is really comfortable.

High-strength body structure, rich safety auxiliary features, pay attention to respiratory health

The new Hongqi H5 is also quite in place whether it is active safety, passive safety or health safety. It is understood that the new Hongqi H5 uses high-strength steel on a large scale to ensure the strength of the body. At the same time, the 9H4M body structure improves the stability of the body and ensures the living space of the occupants. This standard is higher than the 2021 version of the C-NCAP five-star safety design standard, and the 9H4M body has a 30% improvement in impact resistance compared with the previous generation 9H body.

In addition, the new Red Flag H5 also takes into account the safety of pedestrians outside the car, using a multi-stage energy-absorbing front bumper and a spider web energy-absorbing and dissipating hair cover, which can effectively reduce the damage to pedestrians’ heads and legs. The 2.0T Zhilian Flag Chang version of the test drive comes standard with adaptive cruise, front and rear collision warning system, active braking system, lane departure warning and maintenance assistance, road traffic sign recognition, fatigue monitoring, automatic anti-glare rearview mirrors, etc., which can be said to be very safe.

As for the health and safety of the car, the new Hongqi H5 is equipped with an air quality monitoring system and can automatically adjust the planned air according to the concentration of PM2.5 in the car. In addition, the cockpit uses 8 low-volatile and low-odor materials, combined with environmentally friendly production processes to improve the air quality of the new car.

2.0T + 8AT, abundant power, smooth and fuel-efficient, and outstanding power performance

To say how powerful a car is, of course, you have to drive it to know. The 2.0T Zhilian Banner Chang version of the test drive is equipped with a 2.0T engine and an 8-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power of 224 horsepower and a peak torque of 360 Nm. The data is quite eye-catching.

The small series personally tested that when driving, the steering wheel is relatively light, the control is very silky, providing a good feel, and then the starting throttle response is also more positive, the acceleration explosive force is also very strong, deep stepping on the throttle can bring a certain sense of pushing back, and the power reserve is abundant, the middle and rear overtaking is very confident, the gear shift is also very smooth, and the downshift is also very fast when overtaking, the power performance is enough to meet the daily road conditions.

As a family car, the editor is actually more concerned about whether to meet the daily commuting needs. The new Hongqi H5 is not small, but it is quite flexible when turning, regardless of the narrow area for multiple U-turns or corrected trajectory parking, the steering operation is light and the steering radius is relatively small. The editor is still quite satisfied.

In terms of chassis suspension, the new Hongqi H5 features a McPherson-style independent front overhang. The chassis adjustment is more oriented towards driving comfort, and the acceleration performance is good. The editor still likes this adjustment performance. As a family car, this adjustment is in line with vehicle positioning and meets the needs of most consumers who commute.

Write at the end

Overall, the new Hongqi H5 has an atmospheric appearance, rich configuration, ample space, and satisfactory driving experience. Although it is priced close to the people, it is essentially a luxury brand that rivals the standard. However, some of the configurations of high-end models are further decentralized to entry-level models, in order to improve the overall configuration level of the vehicle.

The upgrade of the new Hongqi H5 this time, whether it is the appearance, interior design, or even the configuration and power, has been further improved, and the cost performance has been further highlighted. Finally, the editor recommends that you must try it yourself to confirm whether it meets your needs.
