The Beijing Station underground parking lot located on the east side of Beijing Station was opened in 1970, more than 50 years ago. Due to disrepair, the facilities are old and backward, and the environment is dark and dirty. Before the renovation, the parking lot utilization rate was extremely low, making it inconvenient for passengers to enter and exit, and the surrounding roads were congested. In May last year, the parking lot upgrade and renovation work was launched. Currently, the two above-ground and underground parking lots at Beijing Station can provide nearly 500 parking spaces, and the average daily parking number has increased from less than 200 to 2,000.
Among them, intelligence is the biggest feature of the newly upgraded Beijing Station underground parking lot. The renovated parking lot has introduced an intelligent parking system. The entrance to the parking lot displays the number of remaining parking spaces in real time. Guidance screens and guidance signs can be seen everywhere in the parking lot to provide real-time guidance on the number of surrounding vacant parking spaces, making it easier for passengers to quickly find empty parking spaces and optimizing parking inside and outside the parking lot. flow lines.
In addition, an electronic payment system has been installed in the parking lot. Drivers can pay in advance to achieve quick payment and departure; through three-dimensional design, renovation, lighting, etc., such as floor treatment, wall design, and top decoration, as well as between different floors Color separation and digital logo design enhance the visibility of car owners to quickly locate the vehicle location. The fire alarm system and fresh air system have also been upgraded.
For many travelers, they have to carry large and small luggage when they return home every Spring Festival. If possible, it is more convenient to drive to the station by car. However, due to the current parking charges at various stations in Beijing, it is usually higher. , a day's parking fee costs more than 200 yuan.
But in fact, some parking lots still have remaining space, especially at night. For this reason, the third underground floor of the Beijing Station parking lot also provides the option of "long-term parking" to provide parking reservation services for passengers. Passengers who have time to park can download the app in advance, and the average daily parking fee is about 30 yuan. Some other services of
are also very distinctive. In order to meet various connection needs, the ground parking lot is planned to have 6 tourist bus parking spaces to serve the "last mile" of the travel team; the underground floor of the parking lot is set up as an online car-hailing area. The supporting construction includes an online car-hailing waiting room with an area of about 30 square meters and an air-conditioned waiting room. There is also a temporary waiting area with 18 waiting seats outside the air-conditioned room for passengers waiting for different lengths of time.
also needs to be reminded that the original parking lot on the west side of Beijing Station Square has been adjusted into a taxi waiting area. Currently, what is open to the public is the renovated and upgraded underground parking lot and a newly opened above-ground parking lot on the east side of the parking lot. Passengers can get there by searching for "Beijing Station Underground Parking Lot" or "Beijing Station Parking Lot" on the navigation map. Read the full text >>>
On November 11, Jia Ling posted on social platforms that she had successfully lost 100 pounds and looked like a boxer while filming a movie. As soon as the news came out, it quickly became a trending topic on Weibo. Some netizens called Jia Ling's "plastic surgery to lose weight", "This is like losing a Zhang Xiaofei directly!" Some netizens said that they should learn from Jia Ling and lose weight successfully before going home for the New Year. Is it reliable to lose weight in a short period of time and "cosmetic weight loss"?

The "Report on Nutrition and Chronic Disease Status of Chinese Residents (2020)" previously released by the National Health Commission shows that the situation of overweight and obesity among Chinese residents is severe. The overweight and obesity rates of adult residents are 34.3% and 16.4% respectively. That is to say, among adults More than 50% of residents are overweight and obese; the overweight and obesity rates for children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 are 11.1% and 7.9% respectively; the overweight and obesity rates for children under 6 are 6.8% and 3.6% respectively. According to the analysis, the imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure is the direct cause of individual overweight and obesity.
Obesity is closely related to health. It can lead to high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, gout and other diseases. It can also affect mental health. Scientific weight loss is imperative.
Jia Ling lost 100 pounds in one year while keeping filming for her career, which sounds very inspiring. However, I would like to remind everyone not to use extreme means to lose weight suddenly, otherwise you will be injured in the end. Many people lose weight through dieting and eat irregular meals. Their weight will drop initially and then rebound as soon as they resume eating. They may even become fatter than before. Dieting may even lead to abnormal liver function, hair loss, menstrual disorders, and insomnia. ...
In addition, different groups of people should also choose targeted weight loss methods scientifically:
People with mild weight loss (weight loss of 5 kg to 10 kg): short-term diet with appropriate restriction of fat and carbohydrates, combined with active physical activity With exercise, you can reach your standard weight in 1 to 2 months.
Moderately obese people: long-term control of high-oil, high-sugar, and high-salt foods, combined with physical exercise, moderate control of total energy, and a period of 6 to 12 months, or even 24 months, to gradually reduce to the ideal weight.
Severely obese people: For this group of people, being overweight has affected their health. To lose weight, we need to pay attention to the different effects of metabolic damage on the body and integrate nutritional programs into disease treatment.
In addition to the above, experts also have some special reminders: a diet that can achieve a nutritional balance, and is indeed slightly lower than the minimum requirement of your body, achieving a negative energy balance, is called scientific weight loss. It should also be paired with scientific, effective and consistent exercise. Read more >>>
Starting in mid-2023, many climate scientists and international meteorological services have predicted that 2023 may become the hottest year on Earth’s record. As 2024 approaches, this prediction is confirmed.

On January 9, local time, the European Union’s climate monitoring agency Copernicus Climate Change Service issued a communiqué confirming that 2023 will become the hottest year on earth since records began in 1850. From June to December Each month is warmer than the average temperature for the same month in previous years. The
communiqué pointed out that the global average surface temperature in 2023 will reach 14.98 degrees Celsius, which is 0.17 degrees Celsius higher than the previous hottest year in 2016, 0.6 degrees Celsius higher than the average temperature between 1991 and 2020, and higher than the pre-industrial temperature between 1850 and 1900. Levels were 1.48 degrees Celsius higher. The number
raises alarm. In 2015, the Paris Agreement adopted by the international community set the goal of keeping global temperatures at 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and striving to keep them within 1.5 degrees Celsius. Today, as global warming continues, the Earth appears to be getting closer to the critical threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius.
"As the global climate continues to warm, we will inevitably see the records for the hottest days, hottest months, and hottest years being continuously broken." Rebecca E, senior scientist at the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service Merton said in an exclusive interview with reporters that global temperatures will accelerate warming, especially in years with the El Niño phenomenon.
But the fact that the global average temperature in 2023 will be nearly 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial levels is particularly worrying for many scientists. Emerton said another aspect of 2023's "abnormality" was that the record temperatures came in a year when El Niño was strengthening rather than declining.
On July 4, 2023, the World Meteorological Organization announced that the El Niño phenomenon had officially formed. Currently, El Niño is still ongoing and is expected to last until early 2024. Emerton said that from this, the possibility that 2024 will be hotter than 2023 cannot be ruled out.
In fact, the Copernicus Climate Change Service stated that the record temperatures in 2023 are mainly caused by the El Niño phenomenon and rising global ocean surface temperatures, and the main long-term factor leading to high ocean surface temperatures is the continued increase in greenhouse gas concentrations.
Therefore, Emerton hopes that the earth's record-breaking temperature in 2023 will send a signal to the world, that is, "our climate is changing, and we need to do everything we can to reduce emissions as quickly as possible and work hard to limit the impact of our humanity." degree of warming."

George Lam is a legend in the Chinese music scene. His timbre and singing skills are extremely outstanding. He can control the sonorous and heroic "The River Goes East" as well as the gentle and low-pitched melody of "The Willow Bank, the Dawn Wind and the Waning Moon"; his stage style is very "explosive", and the audience loves it Be alone and create in a quiet world. Nearly 50 years after his debut, he has gone through the glorious years of Hong Kong pop music and left behind popular music works such as "Men Should Be Strong".

Now 76 years old, George Lam is getting stronger and stronger. He is currently conducting his first continuous and large-scale mainland tour since joining the industry - the first stop of Lam Zixiang's "Fifty Strong" 50th Anniversary Tour Concert in 2024 will be It will be performed in Chengdu on January 13th. In an exclusive interview with reporters, he reviewed his nearly fifty years of acting career: The movies and Cantonese operas he watched as a child became the inspiration for his career as a singer. After his debut, he insisted on making his own decisions from music creation to personal appearance. What he misses most is the 1970s and 1980s. The Hong Kong music scene of the 1970s was simple and pure. He believes that whether singing, acting or making clothes are all creations, and finding your own style is the most important thing.
Lin Zixiang is not only a legendary singer, he is also closely related to movies, so he specially designed movie-related paragraphs during the "Fifty Strong" tour concert. He told reporters that his first understanding of music came from movies. "When I was young, my grandfather took me to watch a lot of movies, including Hollywood movies and local Hong Kong movies. At most, I watched more than 300 movies a year, almost every day. Movies have both pictures and music. , and the emotions are relatively strong. After reading it, the songs in it will be lingering in my mind all day long."
Back then, Lin Zixiang met Andy Lau, who was his backup dancer when filming the MV on the TV station. After chatting for a few words, he felt that he was very good. . Not only did he drive the young man back home after the filming, but he also recommended him to director Xu Anhua, who was preparing to shoot "The Wrath of the Sea". This was the first time the two collaborated on a film. They later collaborated in the film "The Best Boyfriend" (1989). But later on, Andy Lau was more inclined to develop in the direction of movies, and he insisted on the path of music, so there were few work reunions. "It's Hard to Demarcate Good from Evil" was the reunion of the two after many years.
Lin Zixiang has a hobby of tailoring clothes. He does not use a sewing machine and sews purely by hand. Often an ordinary piece of clothing becomes both fitting and full of design through his hands. When talking about his hobby, he smiled and stretched out his hands for reporters to see - it turned out that the sleeves of his black velvet jacket that day were lengthened with another kind of fabric, but the interface was so perfect that you couldn't see it unless you looked carefully. come out. "The most difficult thing about changing clothes is to find a matching (fabric). What is this piece of material that is attached? If I don't tell you, you may not be able to guess it. This is a sock toe!" He was a little proud. He finally revealed the answer - because he thought the sleeves of his black fleece jacket were too short, he used the tops of a pair of black wool socks to lengthen the sleeves. He also told reporters that since his debut, he has done his own makeup, styling, and preparation of clothes. He even cut his hair with two mirrors facing him. Not only did he "save a lot of money," but more importantly, he found a dream that was completely his own. style of.
Lin Zixiang, who has been in the industry for nearly 50 years, has a sonorous "iron lung" on stage, but off stage he likes to be alone quietly, even when talking to others, he speaks softly. He described himself as entering a character's performance when he was on stage, and when he came off the stage after the performance, he became the self who is used to creating in a quiet environment. His high notes are impressive and can reach d5 or higher, but he never intentionally sings high. It all happens when he suddenly has the idea to change his singing method.
looks back on the golden years of the Hong Kong music scene, and he misses the 1970s and 1980s the most.Not only because he has special memories of his debut during this period, but also because everything everyone did at that time was simpler and music creation was purer. Read the full text >>>
Since the early 1990s, Mao Shihua, a villager in Huangtankou Village, Qujiang District, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, set up a breakfast stall at the bridgehead near the Huangtankou Township Central Primary School, and students in the mountainous area became her Main source of customers. Soy milk, glutinous rice cakes, meat rice dumplings, and duck egg pancakes cost 50 cents each. Mao Shihua has insisted on not raising prices for 27 years. In the first few years, part of the profit was used to subsidize the family. Later, as prices rose, her small breakfast business became a loss-making business. More and more locals call her "Breakfast Grandma".

She mentioned to her daughter Ye Xian that she really couldn’t bear the price increase and was worried that some students in financial distress would not have enough to eat. Mao Shihua has been awarded honors such as "The Most Beautiful Quzhou Person" and "Zhejiang Province Moral Model". In 2018, Mao Shihua was awarded the "Star of Integrity" by the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the National Development and Reform Commission.
A few steps away, this is the distance from Huangtankou Township Central Primary School to Mao Shihua's home. Two or three minutes is how long it takes to walk from the breakfast stall at Qiaotou to the entrance of the primary school.
According to Mao Shihua’s daughter Ye Xian, Huangtankou Village is not big at all, and it can be said to be “a few steps away” from anywhere. Although the breakfast walk my mother walked over and over again was short, she walked for 27 years until her body could no longer drag it.
On many windy and rainy mornings, Mao Shihua refused to listen to her children's advice. She held an umbrella in one hand and a tricycle in the other, determined to go to the bridge to set up a stall. In Ye Xian's opinion, this is the strong, willful and brave side of his mother. The figure of Mao Shihua walking in the rain will appear in Ye Xian's heart from time to time. "When I was a child, my mother always gave me the impression of being tall and strong. When she got old, she suffered from osteoporosis and her back was arched high." High."
In Ye Xian's memory, her mother started her business in 1991. At almost 60 years old, Mao Shihua felt dazzled and did not have the energy to do things as before, but she had been busy for most of her life. She couldn't take any time off, so she just set up a small breakfast stall in the Qiaotou market, which could also help support her family's income. Qiaotou is the only way for many students to go to and from school, and the school is right next door to their home. Students can hear clearly when they read aloud and do exercises.
On cold days, Mao Shihua will prepare two charcoal stoves to dry the hands of the children who are having breakfast. Mao Shihua called the child "Meina" (homophonic), and Ye Xian said that in the local dialect, it meant "baby". The children call her "Grandma." When encountering students who forget to bring money or are very poor, Mao Shihua often waives the bill and "just take it and eat it."
At about 13:30 on December 18, 2023, "Breakfast Grandma" Mao Shihua passed away at home. 91 years old. After she left, the teachers and students of Huangtankou Township Central Primary School spontaneously held a memorial ceremony for her.
On December 20, Mao Shihua and her husband were buried together in a cemetery in Huangtankou Village.
"Money will be gone, fame and fortune are like clouds, but character comes first." This is a saying that Ye Xian likes very much. She felt that her mother, Mao Shihua, must have understood the true meaning of it very early. Read the full text>>>
