Heavy! Hongqi Guoya is listed, and the top configuration challenges Mercedes-Benz Audi. Who will win?

This is not only a car, but also a redefinition of "luxury" and a symbol that China’s automobile industry once again shows its strength to the world. Today, we will discuss the story behind this new car and uncover its unknown secret.

From the moment it appeared, it was destined to be an ordinary car. The name of this car has a profound cultural connotation. The word "Guoya" conveys the high respect and inheritance of the national culture of the red flag, and also indicates that it will become a product representing the highest level of China automobile.

Hongqi Guoya is not only an ultra-luxury executive car, but also a declaration of "the return of the king". Hongqi brand has been a symbol of high-end cars in China since its birth, and this new car has pushed this status to a new height.

No matter from the body design, interior technology or dynamic performance, Hongqi Guoya is challenging the global luxury car market: we are not only known as the "national car", but also have the strength to compete with international first-line luxury brands.

This time, the red flag can be described as "full of heart" in design. Guoya provides 8 body colors and 3 kinds of two-color painting, which satisfies consumers’ ultimate pursuit of personalization.

Whether it is for business or private travel, every detail of Guoya shows luxury and dignity. You can choose the five-seat version or the four-seat version-even the most discerning customers can find their favorite choice in this car.

The craft and design of the interior make people feel like they are in an art palace. Every inch of leather and every detail have been carefully polished, showing the ultimate pursuit of quality by Hongqi.

Not only that, Hongqi Guoya is "stacking materials" to the extreme in configuration: intelligent four-wheel drive system, dual-cavity air suspension, rear wheel steering, and the world’s first flexible scroll screen, AR-HUD virtual reality head display and other cutting-edge technologies, which simply move the future automotive technology into real life.

Hongqi Guoya is not only gorgeous in appearance, but also powerful in core. The power system provides the choice of 3.0T and 4.0T hybrid electric power, and the maximum power reaches 290kW and 360kW respectively, which means that it not only has strong power output, but also gives consideration to economy and environmental protection. Compared with Mercedes-Benz S450L and Audi A8L of the same level, Hongqi Guoya’s performance is not inferior, even better in some aspects.

The meticulous carving of the red flag in the driving experience is even more exciting. Thanks to the advanced hybrid system, the vehicle starts quietly, but when it needs to explode, it can release strong power. This driving texture is not only the strong power output, but also the ultimate pursuit of driving comfort by Hongqi.

The listing of Hongqi Guoya is not only the launch of a new model, but also another sublimation of Hongqi brand strategy. The red flag is no longer just a symbol of "national car", but it is breaking the situation that "luxury cars are monopolized by foreign brands" with practical actions.

Guoya is clearly positioned as an ultra-luxury executive car this time, and plans to officially put into production in mid-2024, with an annual production capacity of 15,000 vehicles and a monthly sales volume of 1,200 vehicles. This figure is almost the same as the sales volume, which shows the market confidence of Hongqi in this car.

The appearance of Hongqi Guoya is undoubtedly a milestone victory for China automobile industry. It is not only a car, but also represents the confident rise of China automobile brands in the luxury car market. Through continuous innovation and breakthrough, Hongqi has changed from a simple symbol of "national car" to a global benchmark of China’s automobile industry.

Every time a new car is launched, Red Flag is proving to the world that China can not only build a good car, but also build a top luxury car. Hongqi Guoya is the best embodiment of this concept, which not only shows the technical strength and technological level of China’s own brands, but also conveys a sense of national pride.

As consumers, we can feel that Hongqi Guoya is not only providing us with a luxury car, but also standing tall for the China brand. No matter from the design, configuration, performance, or marketing strategy, this car reveals a high-end, atmospheric and upscale atmosphere. Through Guoya, Red Flag has proved to the world the power of China brand, and demonstrated our confidence and control over the future.

In the future, the arrival of Hongqi Guoya is bound to reshuffle the entire luxury car market. Perhaps, the next time you see the shiny logo on the highway, you will not only be amazed at its appearance, but also be proud of the "national strength" it represents.

Finally, what do you think when you see it here? Welcome to share your views on Hongqi Guoya in the comment area, and don’t forget to like, pay attention to and share, so that more people can feel this pride and strength!

At least 19 models! European and American car companies modular platform new car planning

  [Autohome News] We often say that the Golf and Audi A3 are products of the same platform. Do you know that the currently very popular Escape and New Focus are also produced on the same platform. With the development of the automotive industry, overseas automakers, especiallyEuropean and American car companiesModular and platform-based production and research and development are being continuously promoted. At the same time, as the cooperation between car companies becomes closer, more and more manufacturers are beginning to share platforms to build new cars. Platformization and modularization have become a very popular concept at present. In addition to the Volkswagen MQB platform that everyone is already familiar with, major automakers will build new cars based on UKL, MRA, SPA, EMP2, and D2XX in the future. So which manufacturers do these new platforms belong to and what products will be launched? Let’s take a look together today. (Note: The models involved in this article are not all platform products, but only some representative products are selected.)

What is an automotive platform?

  Let’s use the following diagram to briefly describe what a car platform is:

Autohome

Volkswagen: MQB/MLB platform – multiple derivative cars

  The platforms that Volkswagen brands will use in the future will primarily be MQB and MLB.The full name of the MQB platform is Modularer Querbaukasten in German, which is expressed in English as modular transverse matrix or transverse engine modular platform.(Click to view the MQB platform analysis) We are familiar with the Volkswagen 7th generation Golf, Audi’s new generation A3, and the new generation Octavia are all from this platform. So what new cars will be launched on this platform in the future?

★ Volkswagen 7-seat SUV [Click to view new car information]

  At the 2013 North American Auto Show, the Volkswagen CrossBlue concept car was officially released. The car is currently in the concept stage, and it will be a 7-seat medium and large SUV after official weighing. The car is built on the Volkswagen MQB platform.

  The Audi Q7 has been around for nearly 8 years since its launch in 2005, and it is approaching its replacement year. From the hand-drawn drawings of the new generation Q7, it is not difficult to see that the front face of the new model is very similar to the Crosslane Coupe concept car. The intake grille is angular, and the overall design is more concise and tough. The new generation Q7 will be built on the Volkswagen MLB platform. Thanks to the adoption of more new technologies, the body weight of the new generation Q7 will be 350kg lighter than the current model.

  Summary:Judging from the MQB and MLB platforms adopted by the Volkswagen Group, its characteristics are first and foremost the wide launch of derivative models, and one platform’s coupe, travel version, convertible, SUV, etc. will be launched one after another. In addition, the brand’s universal model, Volkswagen launches a derivative car, then Skoda will have one, and Audi may have another. Such a powerful derivative ability is amazing. Finally, the application of lightweight technology, I believe this technology will become a major trend in the future.

● BMW Article: UKL Platform – BMW Front Drive/New MINI

  Summary:According to BMW’s Product Research & Development manager, "In the 1990s, we broke with a tradition and started selling SUVs, and consumers can also enjoy driving from SUVs. We hope that the arrival of front-drive models will also bring about such changes." The launch of many low-cost entry-level front-drive models will also play an important role in BMW’s sales growth in the future. Judging from BMW’s tradition of pursuing sports, the editor believes that these front-drive models will continue to be BMW’s sporty characteristics under BMW’s adjustment in the future, and everyone should not worry.


Volvo: SPA Platform – New Generation XC90

  After leaving Ford, Volvo needs to stand on its own in terms of technology. Volvo will use a new platform to create new products in the future. According to our review, there are two main platforms in the future, namely the SPA platform (Scalable Platform Architecture) and the new mid-size car platform developed together with Geely. Since 2011, Volvo has announced a strategic investment plan totaling 11 billion US dollars. The development of the SPA platform and the VEA powertrain is the most important part of it.

  Peter Mertens, senior vice-president of research and development at Volvo Group, said: "The SPA platform will account for two-thirds of Volvo’s total product sales, and about 40% of the components will be common to all models." In line with the current trend of fewer cylinders and smaller displacements, VEA’s new direct injection gasoline and diesel engines will become the main powertrain of Volvo in the future. The 3- and 4-cylinder engine families will become the core of Volvo’s future powertrain, while the existing 5- and 6-cylinder engine assemblies may be phased out.

"New generation C4 Picasso spy photo"

  Judging from the latest spy photos, the design of the new generation C4 Picasso is basically the same as that of the Technospace concept car. The new car adopts Citroen’s new family-style design. The thin middle net is embedded with Citroen’s herringbone gear logo, and the lower intake grille adopts a hexagonal design, which is exaggerated and radical. The new car’s tail lights with 3D effect are also eye-catching. At the same time, due to the use of EMP2 modular platform to build, the car will further reduce weight by about 70kg.

  Summary:EMP2 modular products are mainly concentrated in the compact and medium-sized car market with the largest production and sales volume. The modular design and production will also save PSA Group a lot of money. The models built on the EMP2 modular platform will be officially mass-produced later this year, and the future Shenlong factory in Wuhan will also introduce the production technology of the EMP2 modular platform. In this sense, the above two models are likely to be introduced into domestic production in the future.

  In addition, it is worth mentioning that many new cars of PSA will be built on the EMP2 platform. In order to further distinguish the products, the two brands of Peugeot and Citroen will further differentiate their positioning in the future: the Peugeot brand will focus more on the high-end market, while the Citroen brand will lean towards the mass consumer market. Peugeot brand positioning: 1. Pursue quality and reliability; 2. Elegant design and outstanding power; 3. Innovative driving experience and driving pleasure. Citroen brand positioning: 1. Fuel economy and environmentally friendly vehicles; 2. Easy to use and simple technology; 3. Simple and pure design.

  This engine is mounted vertically on the MRA platform, matched with a 7G-tronic gearbox; in the MFA platform, it is matched with a 7G-DCT dual-clutch gearbox. One engine can be applied to both horizontal and vertical platforms, which is the embodiment of Mercedes-Benz’s modular strategy. 

Conclusion: Modular platformization = short-term large investment, long-term high returns

  At present, car companies are vigorously promoting platform-based production and research and development, and there are many new products. We have only selected 19 representative products for you to see above. After reading today’s article, you may find that why are so many manufacturers promoting platform-based production? In fact, in simple terms, platform-based production can achieve long-term high-profit growth through short-term investment.

  For reference, Volkswagen’s modular horizontal module platform MQB platform released in 2012 cost nearly $70 billion to build (Morgan Stanley valuation), and is expected to save $19 billion per year by 2019, with a project gross profit of nearly 10%. Such high profits are also an important reason why the majority of manufacturers are promoting the development of this technology. But in any case, we still support the arrival of modular production, because after all, we can choose more and better products. (Compiler/Autohome Wang Yin)

"Beidou" navigation empowers industrial development to accelerate (new economic direction)

Recently, the "Beidou Travel Application Innovation Plan" initiated by domestic enterprises was launched, and the Beidou innovative application represented by "lane-level navigation" will be popularized nationwide from the current 8 city pilots. It is understood that the plan also includes functions such as dynamic traffic light countdown and equal light status based on Beidou’s core computing power. It is an innovative service launched by Beidou high-precision applications for the public, which will help Beidou in the industrialization of traffic travel scenes.

The latest data shows that the total output value of satellite navigation and location-based service industry in our country has reached about 470 billion yuan; as of January this year, the global cumulative access to intelligent devices of Beidou space-time intelligent services exceeded 1.50 billion units; Beidou high-precision space-time service was called more than 170 billion times a month, and the service covered more than 230 countries and regions around the world; Beidou became the "standard" of smart phones and wearable devices, and Autonavi maps called Beidou satellites for more than 300 billion times a day.

Beidou, which is "easy to use in the sky and good on the ground", has moved from solving the problem of "presence and absence" to a stage of development of "higher accuracy, more credibility and better service".

Scale applications continue to expand

In the northwest region, planting cotton requires high-precision linear film mulching. If the agricultural machine cannot guarantee the linear accuracy of the operation, it will not only affect the quality of the film mulching, resulting in "film cutting" and rework, but also not conducive to the later topping, harvesting and other links. At the same time, it will cause land waste, reduce production, and affect the income of cotton farmers.

Now, with the Beidou navigation agricultural machinery automatic driving system, cotton farmers only need to set the operation width and other data to ensure that the agricultural machinery is accurate and straight operation, on-demand seeds, ridge mulching and other procedures are completed in one go, and the sowing efficiency and quality are greatly improved. "In recent years, the’Huinong Beidou navigation automatic driving system ‘we have built is widely used in tractors, rice transplanters, harvesters, plant protection machines and some specific self-propelled vehicles, covering the whole operation link of plowing, sowing, transplanting, ditching, plant protection, harvesting, flat ground, etc. The operation accuracy can reach 2.5 cm, and the cumulative operation area of the system exceeds 50 million mu." Shen Jun, chief scientist of Beijing Hezhong Sizhuang Technology joint stock company, said.

Application is the life infra of Beidou development, and agriculture is the key area of Beidou application. In recent years, Beidou has supported the rapid development of precision agriculture in our country, and the agricultural machinery automatic driving system based on Beidou system has exceeded 100,000 units/sets. This year, the No. 1 document of the Central Committee proposes to support the integrated application of Beidou intelligent monitoring end point and auxiliary driving system.

From transportation to agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishing, from smart ports to power inspections, Beidou provides time and space services like water, electricity, gas and other public services, fully integrated into the infrastructure, deeply empowering all walks of life, and gradually entering thousands of households, generating significant economic and social benefits.

In the bustling business center of Beijing, shared bicycles with Beidou high-precision positioning function are parked in the "electronic fence", which is convenient for users to use and convenient for staff to dispatch and clear in time. "These shared bicycles are equipped with Beidou high-precision positioning modules, which can achieve sub-meter-level (less than 1 meter) positioning accuracy in open scenes." According to Dou Ke, head of hardware research and development of Meituan bicycles, in order to further improve the real-time and accuracy of positioning, they have upgraded the smart lock chip of shared bicycles from 2G to 4G, and equipped with more advanced sensors to make vehicle scheduling more orderly.

Data show that as of the first half of 2022, Beidou has been applied in more than 20 industries (fields). The total application of Beidou products has exceeded 15.50 million units/set. At present, the number of shared bicycles equipped with domestic Beidou high-precision positioning chips has exceeded 5 million, covering more than 450 cities; among the smartphones applying for network access in China, the mobile phone shipments that support Beidou positioning account for more than 98%.

"Today, Beidou has become an important spatiotemporal infrastructure in our country and has also played an important supporting role in the development of the digital economy. The spatiotemporal data generated by Beidou is the’blood ‘of the digital economy, and the massive data accumulated by the digital economy provides a vast world for Beidou applications. The industry and the public application field have created more and more digital application scenarios of Beidou, which has effectively expanded the breadth and depth of Beidou applications." Yu Xiancheng, president of China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association, said.

Deep integration with emerging technologies

To communicate with each other and play an effective empowering role, data needs to have a unified temporal and spatial benchmark for "alignment". Only with accurate and reliable "space-time labels" can an accurate mapping of the real world and the digital world be achieved, and space-time-based perception, calculation and collaboration can be realized. With the combination of Beidou with artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, 5G communication, etc., Beidou applications are also extending to emerging technologies.

"Lane-level navigation" is a typical application of spatiotemporal intelligence, and it is also the product of the deep integration of Beidou and various emerging technologies. "The so-called’lane-level navigation ‘means that users can obtain extremely high-precision positioning provided by mobile navigation applications during driving. On this basis, when drivers need to change lanes, such as near expressway turning intersections or high-speed ramp,’ lane-level navigation ‘will provide more detailed lane-level voice broadcasts and action guidance." Liu Zhenfei, president of Autonavi Maps, introduced.

Chen Jinpei, chief executive of Qianxun Location Network Co., Ltd., said: "Technically, we observe the navigation satellite signal through the National Beidou Ground-based Enhancement System, and calculate the high-precision calculation engine to provide high-precision differential correction data to the end point of the mobile phone. After that, the mobile phone combines the original satellite observation data to complete the algorithm solution and obtain sub-meter positioning accuracy. Finally, the positioning and navigation application combines high-precision positioning maps to provide users with lane-level fine navigation guidance."

The successful application of "lane-level navigation" is inseparable from the all-round upgrade of positioning antennas, positioning algorithms, positioning chips, mobile phone maps and other technical elements. Since 2019, domestic enterprises have carried out joint research in a number of software and hardware fields, and made breakthroughs in reducing the power consumption of positioning antennas, real-time dynamic measurement technology algorithms, and deep adaptation of mainstream chip manufacturers.

In the opinion of Yang Changfeng, chief designer of Beidou satellite navigation system engineering and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, China Beidou in the new era insists on application in development and development in application, and should follow the concept of "financial network, financial data, financial end point, financial service", expand and strengthen the new business model of "Beidou +" and "+ Beidou", vigorously shape the consciousness of the whole industry chain, create an innovative consortium, realize the integrated development of the industry, and strive to be the first in the world to open up the full link of high-precision positioning of mobile phones.

Yu Xiancheng believes that space-time information, positioning and navigation services, as important information infrastructure, can only continue to maintain the leading and integration of technology, promote the development of application services to depth and breadth, and better and more fully empower space-time.

Industrial development ushered in a period of opportunity

At present, the large-scale application of Beidou has entered a critical period, and it is also an opportunity period for the development of the entire Beidou industry. The "2022 China Satellite Navigation and location-based service industry development white paper" shows that in 2021, our country’s industrial core output value including chips, devices, algorithms, etc. directly related to the research and development and application of satellite navigation technology will reach 145.40 billion yuan, and the related output value driven by satellite navigation applications and services will reach 323.60 billion yuan. The number of enterprises and institutions in the field of satellite navigation and location-based service in our country is about 14,000, and the number of employees is over 500,000.

Yu Xiancheng said that the industrial application of Beidou is in a period of major change, and it is necessary to face the competition, find another way, and strive for advantages. By breaking through the key core technologies of the industry, we can promote the cross-integration of Beidou and digital technology, and promote the deep integration of Beidou and the industry.

Deqing County, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, is a beneficiary of the development of the Beidou industry. It focuses on the advantageous industries of "Beidou Dixin", expands and forms industrial clusters such as "Beidou Dixin + artificial intelligence", "Beidou Dixin + general aviation", and gathers 2 provincial key laboratories, 2 provincial new R & D institutions, and 22 provincial high-tech enterprise R & D centers. It has successfully created the business card of "Geographic Information Town" and created considerable economic benefits.

"Promoting the development of the Beidou navigation and location-based service industry is an important means to accelerate the process of economic digital transformation and empower the development of the digital economy," Yu Xiancheng said. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, our country will further promote the standardization and ubiquitous development of Beidou, give full play to the role of Beidou as an independent time and space benchmark, and provide ubiquitous precise time and space information services, and truly realize the large-scale and market-oriented development of Beidou application services.

Peninsula Watch | It’s all too much, it’s all crazy! After his comeback, Nicholas Tse just wants to make Hong Kong action movies "continue for a while"

Peninsula All Media reporter, Huang Jingfei

"I have always believed that kung fu movies or action movies are the greatest essence of Chinese movies. In fact, there is no such action drama in the world." Nicholas Tse admits that Hong Kong-style action movies have influenced the global film industry. In the movie "Customs Front", Tse was the action director for the first time.

Even though the previous work was clearly called "Anti-Corruption Storm 5: The Final Chapter", this year’s "Anti-Corruption Storm 6" has also been approved. Just like "Ip Man 4: The Final Chapter", "Ip Man 5" is also coming out recently. Whether it is selling feelings or not, there have been occasional stunning moments in "Unparalleled", "Anti-Drug 2 World Showdown", "Bomb Locker 2", "Fury Case" and "Detective War", etc., Hong Kong films still continue to use action movies as a selling point to unify the rivers and lakes.

The underworld, revenge, crime, police and bandits, drag racing, gunfights, all the classic elements of Hong Kong films can be found in these films. In a set of assembly lines formed by undercover, brothers against each other, family entanglements, and scenes of violent wonders, Hong Kong action films in the past 10 years have basically been monopolized by veteran Hong Kong stars such as Liu Qingyun, Koo Tianle, Guo Fucheng, and Wu Zhenyu. Similar stories, similar faces, and similar feelings only allow the audience to see "the rigidity of the character and the pallor of the story." Hong Kong action films have always lived in a "comfort zone".

Stephen Woo’s police and gangster films interpret the aesthetics of violence, Stephen Chow creates nonsense jokes, and Johnnie To portrays the godfather of gangsters… Tse, who caught up with the glorious era of Hong Kong movies, is now "not confused". The most special title that once held his name was "Hope for Hong Kong movies". The hit of "Anger · Serious Crime" starring him evoked the audience’s obsession with Hong Kong action movies. For many years, in "Fengwei" holding kitchen utensils and digging out the local customs behind the food with friends, he dropped the kitchen knife for this movie, specializing in the butterfly knife that he studied hard for a long time. You know, before "Rage · Serious Case", Nicholas Tse had not acted in any criminal investigation action movie for five years.

For a long time, Gu Tianle almost alone has propped up the last facade of Hong Kong films, shouldering the responsibility of supporting the entire Hong Kong film and television industry, and has continued to "start construction" to continue the existence of "Hong Kong films", so that the actors on stage have performances, and the workers behind the scenes have food.

But now Guzai is also aging visibly with the naked eye.

"Angry Crime" has the purest Hong Kong-style police film texture, and the violent aesthetics it contains are beyond the reach of most Hollywood blockbusters.

In the movie "Customs Front", Nicholas Tse broke through again and served as an action director for the first time. At a time when movie special effects and stuntmen are commonly used, Nicholas Tse still insists on practicing, punching to the flesh, jumping for life and fighting at high altitudes, "one dozen more" 64 long-shot fighting… "All too much, all crazy", more direct, more violent, and more violent than old Hong Kong movies.

He is also directing for the first time in the theatrical film "New Police Story 2", where Jackie Chan is the executive producer, hoping to rekindle the glory of Hong Kong films. After his comeback, Nicholas Tse hopes that Hong Kong action movies can be truly passed down. "I really hope that the label of Hong Kong Action – Hong Kong action movies can continue for a long time."

Jackie Chan said at the premiere, "Today’s Ting Feng can be said to be the me of the year, and I finally have a successor…" It should not be polite.

Instead of fixating on exploring why Hong Kong films are declining like a cliff, it is better to explore how to welcome the next glory. The story that brings forth new and sees better is that the audience shares a winning equation with them, and it is also a group of people who can continue to maintain the tenacious vitality of "Hong Kong films that do not die".

The dance of "subject three" is hotly debated. The doctor reminds you not to blindly follow suit.

Waving hands, twisting waist, swinging hips, and "half-twisted" feet, coupled with the dynamic and cheerful "Laughing Rivers and Lakes", made a "subject three" dance popular all over the network, which also triggered a hot discussion among netizens. Why is the "Subject III" dance popular? What should we pay attention to when dancing "Subject III"?

Speaking of "subject three", the first thing that comes to mind is driving test, which is one of the items of driving test. The "subject three" dance, also known as "subject three in Guangxi", originated from a video of a couple getting married in Guangxi. There was no noisy marriage in the video, but a group of people danced happily at the scene. Netizens ridiculed that Guangxi people will experience three exams in their lives, one is singing folk songs, the other is talking about rice noodles, and the third is dancing.

The real dance with fire is Haidilao Hotpot Restaurant. The waiter in the store improvised a "subject three" dance, and the video was sent to the online platform, which quickly became popular.

On December 5th, the reporter interviewed the staff of Haidilao Li Jiacun Store. She said that the waiters would be arranged to dance "Subject Three" at 13:30, 19:30 and 23:00 every day, and most customers were very interested in it and found it very innovative. The staff of Jiefang Road Store in Xi ‘an said that the passenger flow is relatively large at noon and evening, and three performances have been arranged every day recently.

"Jumping’ subject three’ makes us very high." Wang Qikun, a junior in a university in Xi ‘an, said that this dance is magical, full of energy and comfortable, and many students around me are learning. But this dance looks simple, it is not easy to dance silky and smooth, and it will sprain my ankle if I am not careful.

Previously, a "00" young man was unable to squat because of the unbearable knee pain after dancing the "subject three" dance. After medical examination, he was diagnosed as a contusion of the tibial plateau.

Dr. Yang, an orthopedic attending physician in a hospital in Xi ‘an, said that this dance is mainly supported and stabilized by the ankle joint and knee joint, and its joint structure itself cannot be as flexible as the shoulder joint or wrist joint. This set of movements requires the knees and ankles to swing flexibly while supporting stability, and the center of gravity shifts during exercise, which greatly increases the risk of joint injury. He suggested that daily exercise of core muscles can help to improve the stability of the body. Before learning to dance any dance, you should first fully warm up and increase the ductility of joint ligaments. Secondly, you should learn to master the essentials of dancing, don’t blindly follow the trend, all the actions you do should be within your own ability, and you can’t blindly pursue the effect and take risks. In case of sports injury, you should seek medical advice in time.

    There is a military doctor named Zhuang Dajun in Nanjing. He was blinded by diabetes 25 years ago. With the help of his family, he started his literary creation with difficulty. He once wrote a novel of more than 200,000 words in three years. It is unimaginable that most of his manuscripts were completed on X-rays, and later he learned to write on a computer. Recently, a new book of more than 200,000 words by Zhuang Dajun has entered the printing stage. Yesterday, the reporter came to Zhuang Dajun’s home and saw with his own eyes his "stunt" in writing with a computer.


    Suffer from blindness


    Yesterday afternoon, when the reporter rushed to the home of the second half mountain garden in Xuanwu District where Zhuang Dajun lived, he was typing with a computer in a house on the second floor, and his expression was meticulous. After a paragraph of text was typed, Zhuang Dajun quickly got up and apologized to the reporter: "This is a new work, and more than 40,000 words have been written. I just suddenly got inspiration, so I dare not stop!" After understanding the reporter’s purpose, Zhuang Dajun seemed very natural. After a short meditation, he talked about Kan Kan, and he did not shy away from the most painful memory of his life.


    "I remember that it was 1982, and I just turned 32, which was the most worthwhile age in my life. Unfortunately, I was blind!" Zhuang Dajun told reporters that he was a military doctor at that time, and he had eye problems due to diabetes. Later, he had an operation, but unfortunately, the operation failed. Zhuang Dajun, who had a sense of light before surgery, really fell into the dark world after surgery. Later, he divorced his wife. Since then, Zhuang Dajun has lived with his parents. Recalling this, Zhuang Dajun unconsciously looked up and his voice became soft. "In the darkest days of my life, my parents never shed tears in front of me. They kept encouraging me, comforting me and trying their best to pull me out of the darkness!" All this moved Zhuang Dajun, who was gradually depressed, and he wanted to cheer up.


    Writing drives away darkness.


    "My first thought was writing, because I loved literature when I was a child, but the dilemma I faced was that I was blind!" Zhuang Dajun told reporters that at this difficult turning point, parents and younger brothers once again extended a caring hand. They found X-rays, grew X-rays into strips for a moment, and then put the engraved X-rays and paper together with clips, so that Zhuang Dajun could write in the strips by hand, so as not to be serial. After the manuscript was written, Zhuang Dajun’s parents helped to sort out and transcribe it. Everything comes to him who waits. After a period of hardships, Zhuang Dajun’s first novel, Quiet Snake Valley, was published in Youth magazine.


    "Although this is only a short story, how much care and desire for light are contained in those types. I feel that I have set foot on a broad road to light!" Zhuang Dajun said excitedly that later newspapers and magazines began to adopt his works one after another, and he felt that life had given him the best return. Because X-ray writing is very troublesome, in order to improve the writing progress, Zhuang Dajun came up with a tape recorder to record. As soon as he was inspired, he picked up the tape recorder, but the problem was that it was inconvenient to modify it. In 2003, the opportunity for Zhuang Dajun to get rid of the above difficulties appeared, and he participated in the "computer training class for the blind". However, the learning process is painful. In order to write, Zhuang Dajun gritted his teeth and kept practicing hard in front of the computer through computer voice prompts. When people practiced for an hour, he practiced for two hours. Finally, he learned to use the computer in a very short time and became a "blind typing" stunt. At this point, an idea that has been lingering in Zhuang Dajun’s heart can finally become a reality, that is, writing a novel.


    Inspiration comes from communication.


    With the publication of the first novel, Zhuang Dajun’s confidence doubled. In Zhuang Dajun’s words: "When this article was published, it was a long-lost happy moment for me, which greatly promoted my creative path. The whole family was very happy. Many relatives and friends called to encourage me and congratulate me, which strengthened my confidence."


    In 2001, Zhuang Dajun began to write "The Wind of Stones", during which there were also jams. When inspiration came, he could write three or four thousand words a day. When there was no inspiration, he could not hold back a word for a month or two, which was also the most painful time. Later, when a friend came to see him, he told the story to everyone and wanted to listen to their opinions. I didn’t expect to be inspired when I talked about it. He thanked everyone for patiently listening to his story, which gave him new creative inspiration. In December, 2004, the novel "The Wind of Stone Mounds" was finally published. For more than three years, Zhuang Dajun wrote 210,000 words, telling the love between two stones in a symbolic way and expressing his desire for love. Zhuang Dajun said that creation means a kind of affirmation of life, and he has never given up literary creation for more than 20 years.


    Zhuang Dajun told reporters that art comes from life, but the eyes are blind, the information is blocked, the circle is small, there is little life experience, and there is nothing new. It is impossible to write a good article behind closed doors. Later, after learning to use the computer, he made friends with many netizens, including communicating with some blind friends to get information, and often learned some news and learned some unique things, which also injected new "blood" into literary creation.


    Creation returns to society


    After the publication of "The Wind of Stones and Stones", Zhuang Dajun received many phone calls from readers, asking him to write his own experiences in succession, in order to inspire those friends who encountered setbacks on the road of life.


    In 2005, when "The Wind of Stone Mourning" was sold in Nanjing Xinhua Bookstore, Zhuang Dajun signed books at the scene. An anxious mother came to him and said that she had an 11-year-old son who was blind. I hope Zhuang Dajun can give her son a word as an inspiration. Zhuang Dajun wrote a note, "Life doesn’t believe in tears, only in courage". The mother took the note, thanked her and left. Now Zhuang Dajun doesn’t know how the blind child lives. However, he always carries out literary creation with the attitude of "excellent works are inspiring".


    Zhuang Dajun said that the new book "Darkness and Light are Together" is an autobiographical novel. The protagonist appears in the first person "I", focusing on life perception, how to get out of the darkness and how to feel the light from the heart. In addition to writing, Zhuang Dajun often gives lectures in some colleges and universities, and teaches children how to write compositions in women’s and children’s activity centers. In addition, he also practices Qigong hard to learn massage. In the past 20 years, he has done massage for nearly 20,000 people for free.
