Many people think that there should be life on the moon like the earth, but several investigations on the moon have proved that there is no life on the moon. However, although the moon has no life, it has provided a lot of help to the emergence and evolution of life on earth.

It is precisely because of the existence of the moon that greatly increases the probability of life on the earth and greatly accelerates the rate of life evolution.

The most important manifestation of the moon’s impact on the earth should be

Changes in tides

Because the moon’s control over the earth’s tides is stronger than the sun’s control over the earth’s tides, and the changes in the tides

Greatly affect the size of the buffer zone between the ocean and the land.

According to the current research, the earliest life on the earth is the ocean. In other words, the first batch of organisms on the ground at that time came from the ocean to the land.

If there is no moon to hold the tide, then the time for life to reach land will be continuously delayed, especially for more complex life

.

At the same time, the moon has always been “locked” by the earth because of the earth’s tidal traction, so what we see from the earth is always the same side of the moon, which also causes a lot of problems.

Conspiracy theories begin to “ferment”

, Such as

There are aliens on the back of the moon

Wait for the rumors to become popular.

In fact, these rumors all show that mankind is full of desire to explore the moon, and all of this is also

July 20, 1969

come true,

The US Apollo 11 officially landed on the moon, an important step for mankind to explore the universe

.

In the following years, humans’ understanding of the moon began to gradually become more comprehensive. The moon landing provided the basis for a large number of experimental studies and brought numerous videos and pictures from the moon. But at the same time,

When humans land on the moon, there are a lot of items that cannot be brought back to the earth.

So left on the moon, there is a special item among them, that is

96 bags of diapers

.

Why leave diapers on the moon?

It’s actually very simple, that is

Diapers are used by astronauts for excretion

,because

Astronauts in space are in a weightless environment

, Which caused human excretion to be very unsatisfactory. The American astronauts who entered the universe for the first time

Shepard

Ever

Suffered such embarrassment

, After Shepard reported his need to urinate to the ground headquarters, the headquarters told him that he could

Pee in the spacesuit

, It can be seen that Shepard at the time

How rebellious there will be in my heart.

But there was no way. Shepard, who could not think of other methods at the time, could only follow the instructions of the ground headquarters, but this situation provided important experience for future astronauts to board the air.

Because it’s impossible to have the astronaut urinate in the spacesuit every time they board the air, let alone what to do when there is still stool?

The spacesuit is densely packed with countless sensors, so it’s very unsafe to rank in the spacesuit.

. So the US NASA department began to overcome this embarrassing “difficulty.”

After that,

NASA has developed a “space toilet”

, And continuous improvement of spacesuits, such as

There is a built-in urinal for the male astronaut’s costume

, But these methods are more or less lacking in security and convenience. After vetoing many solutions, they finally came up with a method that was good for experimentation, that is

“Reinforced diapers.”

After this diaper has been specially strengthened,

Can hold nearly 600~800ml of liquid

, That is to say, to deal with the astronaut’s multiple urination, this method is naturally also unanimously approved by the astronauts.and

These diapers were naturally left on the moon after use.

Why did diapers become “babies”?

These diapers were regarded as very meaningful “babies” by many people after many years. This is because

Human urine contains a large number of microorganisms, and whether these microorganisms can survive on the moon has become a matter of most concern to mankind.

, So these leftover diapers have naturally become objects of high research value.

Soviet Arctic explorer at station NP-8. Photo: Sputnik Searching for a Soviet research station The research station NP-8 was only used by Soviet Arctic explorers until the time the ice sheet began to split. At that time, the scientists could have been urgently evacuated and this abandoned research station continued to float in the ocean until it was destroyed. In the early 1960s, the CIA and the Office of Naval Research under the US Department of the Navy conducted a “hunt” for abandoned Soviet research stations. It is said that the Soviet Union installed American submarine sound detectors there. Initially, the target was station NP-9, detected by a reconnaissance aircraft in May 1961. However, the operation was delayed and the research station was located too far in the waters of the Arctic Ocean. Station NP-9. Photo: Sputnik In the spring of 1962, about 970km from the Canadian Air Force base at Resolute Bay, another abandoned and floating research station – station NP-8 – was accidentally discovered. This is an opportunity America cannot afford to miss. Plan “Skyhook” Considering the fact that an icebreaker can’t make it through the dense ice in the area, a helicopter won’t be able to reach NP-8’s location and the plane’s landing on icebergs Floating is also too dangerous. So the US decided to drop the agents there by parachute. But the question then is how to bring those people back [máy bay]. In the end, the US decided to use the evacuation system that the CIA used in hostile lands, also known as the “Skyhook” – developed in the late 1950s. The plan required a balloon. Helium-inflated small, a 150-meter lift and a low-flying aircraft. When the balloon rises to the required height, agents “tethered” to the balloon by lifting ropes will wait on the ground. The approaching aircraft will use a special scraper or “horn” to pull the rope while releasing the balloon. The lifting rope is then automatically wound into the winch, lifting the agent onto the plane. What happened on the iceberg? Major James Smith, an experienced paratrooper and fluent Russian, and his colleague Captain Leonard A. LeSchack, an expert in submarine surveillance systems, had three days to review everything at the research station. . A few boxes of essential equipment were dropped onto the iceberg with the agents. American B-17 bomber. Photo: Uli Elch (CC BY-SA 4.0) As the US predicted, the Soviet scientists left NP-8 station in a hurry without having time to bring all the equipment. Agents discovered more than 80 documents, collected debris from equipment left behind by the Soviet Union, took about 100 photos. By the time the plane returned to pick them up, the weather in the research station area had turned severely bad. Visibility is reduced and wind is very strong. “I was immediately in a situation that one would imagine was flying into space,” recalls Connie W. Seigrist, the pilot of the plane that arrived to pick up the agents. The “trophies” collected by the agents were easily loaded onto the plane using the Skyhook without any problems, but getting the agents on board was a difficult task. The wind caused LeSchack to be dragged nearly 100 meters until the agent tried to cling to a block of ice. Even after the plane picked up the lifting rope, LeSchack still spent up to 10 minutes “hanging” in the air in cold weather before boarding. After seeing what happened to his colleague, Smith released his balloon and held on to a Soviet tractor left beside the research station for as long as possible. In the end, Smith was lifted without any particular difficulty. “Enjoy your time. This is the first time I’ve been able to relax in about a week,” Smith joked to the pilots after being loaded onto the plane. As a result of Operation Coldfeet, the Americans discovered that the Soviet Union had made significant advances in the field of polar meteorology and polar oceanography. In addition, the US also obtained evidence that the Soviet Union used sonar equipment of US submarines in the Arctic. “Overall, the Soviet Union’s remarkable achievements in drifting stations show that they have a long experience in this field and that these research stations themselves are also very important to the Soviet government.” , the commander of the operation, Colonel John Cadwalader said.

Today, the area around the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, which is sparsely populated, is still an economically backward area. So when I took a green train and crossed the high mountains of the Qinling Mountains to the junction of the three provinces of Shaan, Gansu and Sichuan, I realized that there was an ancient city that had been prosperous for thousands of years. It is the ancient city of Fengzhou. Before the “May Day” holiday, I went for a slow trip to Qinling. Departing from Xi’an, take a green leather train along the Baocheng Railway all the way south to Fengxian, Baoji. The Baocheng Railway is a traffic artery connecting the Great Northwest and the Great Southwest, and it is also the first electrified railway in my country. The section from Baoji Station to Fengxian Station is the most difficult and dangerous section of the entire Baocheng Railway. Along the way, it passes through the Qinling tunnel group and the scenery is amazing. It also makes me sigh the vastness of the Qinling Mountains and the hardships of the Baocheng Railway project. Arrive at the previous station in Fengxian, passing by the “Fengzhou” station. A friend who has been to Fengxian told me that Fengzhou is the old county seat of Fengxian, and it was also an ancient city with a long history. But now it is “downgraded” into a village, and not many people know it. So when we returned, we deliberately came to the ancient city of Fengzhou, looking for the imprint of time in this “abandoned” thousand-year-old city… The history of the ancient city of Fengzhou can be traced back to the establishment of the “Gudao County” in the early Qin Dynasty. In 1951, the county government moved from Fengzhou to Shuangshipu Town. Despite military disputes and dynasties, Fengzhou has always been the seat of the state, county, and county. Historically, it has governed the Guangyuan area of ​​Sichuan and southeastern Gansu, and has been the political, economic, and cultural center of the region for more than 2,200 years. After the relocation of the county seat in 1951, this thousand-year-old city declined to its lowest point in history-becoming an administrative village in Fengzhou Town. The location of the ancient city of Fengzhou can be described as “by the mountain and by the water”. The first picture in the article was taken by me standing in the scenic spot of Xiaocai Temple opposite the ancient city of Fengzhou. From a high place, you can clearly see that this thousand-year-old city is surrounded by the peaks of the Qinling Mountains, and the Jialing River flows slowly from the side…Houses lined up to the north of the Qinling Phoenix Ridge, and several sections of Fengzhou’s soil can be seen on the west. Ruins of the city wall. Today, the Provincial Highway 212 and the Baocheng Railway “sandwich” Fengzhou between the north and the south; in ancient times, this was the place where Baoxie Road, Lianyun Road and the old road leading to Sichuan and Tianshui in Gansu must pass. In the depths of the Qinling Mountains, the thousand-year-old city that connects Shaan, Gansu and Sichuan seems to be blocked from traffic. According to the “Fengxian County Chronicles”, after the opening of the plank road across the Qinling Mountains, merchants from north to south gathered here, and more and more inns and restaurants in Fengzhou City. In the early years of the Republic of China, Fengzhou City had more than ten large business houses, silver shops, and silver shops, more than ten grocery and cloth shops, and oil shops, hotels, and dye shops. Business was booming. Dongguan was particularly prosperous, and the north-south travels were particularly prosperous. The merchants live here, and inns and inns are often full.” So, what is left in Fengzhou today? From the county seat of Fengxian County, take the bus No. 6 and get off at Xiaocai Temple Station, and you can see that the cliffs of the majestic Douji Mountain are “inlaid” with many splendid Buddhist temples. The former Fengzhou ancient city is directly opposite to Xiaocai Temple. We randomly found an alley and walked into it. At the end of the alley is the Qinling Phoenix Ridge, and the back is the Qinling Douji Mountain. Looking up, I really feel that this is an ancient city hidden in the arms of the Qinling Mountains. Although Fengzhou is now downgraded to a village, its scale is much larger than I thought. The overall layout of the village is like a chessboard with many lanes. We walked around as we wanted, and we also encountered many old houses from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The architectural style of residential buildings in Fengzhou is different from that of southern Shaanxi, but somewhat similar to the style of Guanzhong courtyard. However, due to land reform and other reasons, although many old houses can be seen as a courtyard layout, they are no longer owned by one household, but are divided into several households. And there are more old houses, some of them have become dilapidated houses, and some of them are empty and seem to be deserted. We went around Fengzhou Village in a big circle. There were no traces of the county government, Guangfo Temple, casino, smoking house, brothel, etc., which were recorded in history. Only beside the Fengzhou Memorial Hall on the east side of the village, we saw the complex The built Chenghuang Temple and Confucian Temple. You need to buy tickets to enter these two buildings. After a glance at the brand new exterior walls, we left. Follow the village to the north, and you can walk to the Guangcheng Railway. This is the highest part of the village, and originally there were ruins of the city wall. Probably because of the construction of the Guangcheng Railway, the ruins of the ancient city wall disappeared. According to the “Fengxian County Chronicles”, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the amount of silver spent on urban construction in Fengzhou alone was 16,668 taels. The original city wall of Fengzhou City had a perimeter of four li, two feet and five feet high, and one foot and five feet wide. There were 848 brick stacks and three towers in the east, west and north. Now we can only see the ruins of the former city wall on the west side of the village. Those lonely loess walls are probably proof that the ancient city of Fengzhou was once brilliant… For a long period of time in history, the ancient city of Fengzhou was the economic and cultural center of the upper reaches of the Jialing River at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. . Nowadays, if it were not for the reminder of the signs beside Provincial Highway 212, few people would know that there is such a prosperous ancient city in the depths of the Qinling Mountains… It is said that Fengxian is already preparing to build the “Fengzhou Ancient City” and hope to make it Build a 5A scenic spot. I don’t know what it will look like when it’s goodbye? If you want to learn more about popular and fun tourist destinations, you are welcome to pay attention to “Xiaoyu’s Travel Diary”.

The countries of the Middle East are considered the “supercar capitals” of the world. In particular, the UAE (United Arab Emirates) is home to the most supercars with two cities, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Due to the high occurrence rate, supercars in this country are no longer so special. They are even forgotten in the garage or thrown on the side of the road after an accident, even if they are a rare supercar. Photo: Caters News Agency. A blue Lamborghini Gallardo lies covered in dust in a roadside parking lot in Dubai. According to Gulf News, every year about 2,000-3,000 cars are abandoned in the UAE for the simple reason that their owners forget their existence. Photo: Caters News Agency. Gallardo’s “elder” model – Aventador – was also left with the same fate that it was covered in dust at Dubai airport. The 2-digit control plate shows that the car owner is a rich person. In Dubai, the fewer digits a sign has, the more valuable it is and usually has to go through an auction. Photo: cartoq. In Vietnam, Bentley Arnage is a rare luxury car model, the number of which can be counted on the fingers. In Dubai, this model is not so special. After colliding with a Porsche Panamera, the blue Arnage was left by its owner on the highway in Dubai. According to local media, the two models were left on the side of the road for a few days before being moved. Photo: cartoq. Not as prominent as Ferrari or Lamborghini, the red DMC DeLorean neglected in Dubai still deserves to be on this list. During the production phase (1981-1983), DMC DeLorean was not given much attention. It was not until it appeared in the movie Back To The Future (1985) that this model became famous. Currently, the number of DeLorean that can operate in the world is not much, but it is abandoned in Dubai. Photo: Auto Evolution. Produced from 1992 to 1994, Jaguar XJ220 has a rather limited number – about 282 vehicles. One of them was caught in a public parking lot in Dubai. With a top speed of up to 341 km/h, the XJ220 was once the world’s fastest supercar in the 1992-1993 period. Photo: cartoq. The most famous abandoned car model in the UAE is probably the Ferrari Enzo. For supercar fans around the world, the Ferrari Enzo is a legend. There were about 400 Enzo units produced between 2002-2004 with an ex-works price of about 650,000 USD (equivalent to 900,000 USD at present). The Ferrari logo is the cheapest at $2.5 million on the used car market. Photo: Auto Evolution. If the Enzo is a rare and expensive supercar, owning a Bugatti is even more difficult. You must be “approved” by the French supercar company before signing a sales contract. The Veyron in the photo is covered in dust but is in fairly new condition. It seems that this supercar has never rolled before being abandoned. Photo: Pinterest. Over the past 20 years, the UAE has attracted many foreign investors to this country. Earning a lot of money and not having to pay personal income tax makes entrepreneurs splurge to buy supercars. After the 2008 economic crisis, many businesses went bankrupt and entrepreneurs fled the UAE before going to jail. Therefore, they do not have time to liquidate assets, including supercars.

There is an island off the southeastern coast of Brazil, seemingly deserted, but it is not. Nestled among those dense trees are hundreds of abandoned cats. That is the island of Ilha Furtada, commonly known as Ilha dos Gatos: Island of the Cats. The owner died from Covid-19, the pet was helpless Many stories spread about the danger of this island. There are cats that are said to overgrow and become feral. They attack the people who come to the island. One Brazilian reporter said there were about 750 cats roaming the forest, while others said the number could be more. The number seems to increase with each narration. Mayhe, a municipal veterinarian in Mangaratiba, traveled to the island to see this firsthand. Before this trip, he had never set foot on the island. But he certainly has one truth: Over the past year, as the Covid-19 pandemic swept Brazil, the number of cats on the island has increased dramatically. Every day there seem to be more cats here, causing great damage to the island’s ecosystem, but no measures have been taken to deal with the problem. Location of the “cat island” Ilha Furtada in Brazil. Photo: Washington Post. The Covid-19 crisis has left millions of pet owners dead or unable to keep them. In rich countries like the US, animal stations and individuals have had to support large numbers of these animals. But in developing countries, where animal station systems are weak, wandering animals are common, and pets are being abandoned more and more. Brazil is in crisis, the Covid-19 epidemic has killed more than 465,000 people, causing a housing crisis and widespread famine. The dog and cat station managers in this country are really overwhelmed. The animal station near “cat island” also did not escape this nightmare. Animal station director Andrea Rizzi Cafasso said they brought here a truck full of cats. When Cafasso refuses, they will say: “If you don’t accept, we will take them all to “cat island”. A cat “resident” lies on a tree branch on the island of Ilha Furtada. Photo: AP. After being abandoned on “cat island”, the poor animals have learned to survive. The city government wants people to stop feeding cats on the island. However, animal lovers call it barbaric. The cats will die without care. “I can’t leave the cats behind” No one knows how the first cats appeared. Officials in Mangaratiba say a family tried to live here many years ago, but failed, leaving a pair of cats on the island and they began to multiply. Local boaters say that there is a restaurant on the island that has closed and the owners abandoned their cats and left. According to a veterinarian, an old man confessed to being the first to bring the cat here, but when asked to share, he vehemently refused. Unconfirmed answers gradually become legends here. Normally, there are very few people who want to visit the remote and unattractive island of Ilha Furtada. However, when it becomes “cat island”, it has a strange attraction. Ilha Furtada has become a stopover for tourists. Some people will take a motorboat to the island just to see the cats. Although the island lacks many living conditions, such as food or water, many people believe that the cats on the island have a better life than the city cats. Signs on the island of Ilha dos Gatos carry the message: Animal abuse and neglect is a crime. Photo: Washington Post. “They have what it takes, they can hunt birds, insects, snakes for food,” explains Miguel Campos, a 61-year-old boater. But Amélia Oliveira, an American veterinarian who travels to Brazil to take care of animals, considers reality altogether. In 2012, a friend sent her a video shot on the island. It’s not a cat’s paradise. There is no fresh water source on the island. “I couldn’t have left the cats out there under such circumstances,” she said. Ms. Oliveira described the number of cats on the island as overwhelming. Some animals approached her friendly, others more wild. They are born on the island, know nothing about humans, and will not be able to integrate into society. She brought back a few cats to adopt and began training and getting to know the others. Over the years, she said, 380 cats on the island have been treated by Veterinarians on the Road. Animal organizations and a retired couple volunteered, prepared food and water for the cats, and built small shelters for them. Meanwhile, many fishermen also share a portion of the fish they catch with the cats. However, as the pandemic hits, those food and care resources also shrink. The number of cats on the island rapidly increased. People are restricted from traveling on the mainland due to social distancing, unable to provide food and water to the island. More reports of cats eating cannibals began to circulate. This tourist attraction suddenly became strange, becoming the concern of many residents about ecological issues. A divided community When someone arrives, some cats approach the visitor, rubbing their paw gently. Other cats paced the shore, attracting attention. Others watched cautiously from afar. The island is no different from a slum for cats. Cat houses built by volunteers are scattered, next to rainwater catchers and cat feeding machines. Brightly colored spiders, each the size of an infant’s palm, cling to the webs strung between furniture. The beach is littered with trash. No one knows the exact number of cats that live on the deserted island in Brazil, but it is estimated to be in the hundreds. Photo: The Washington Post. “Bringing a cat out here is cruelty to animals,” Mr Mayhe said. Conversely, when the animal stations are full and many cats are incapable of socializing, bringing them back to the mainland will be equally complicated. Mangaratiba officials were unsure if they could carry out the plan. They wanted to send research teams to explore the island and conduct a cat census. Then, they installed surveillance cameras to classify the cats. Next, the authorities want to start neutering cats. Well-behaved cats will be adopted. Others will stay on the island for the rest of their lives, until they die. This plan has been hotly contested. The city’s public health leader Sandra Castelo Branco opposes feeding cats on the island, saying it may encourage more people to abandon cats on the island. “I’m under intense attack on Facebook, but I really want to change this situation,” Sandra told reporters.

A South Yorkshire auction house recently put up for sale a three-bedroom house inundated by a sea of ​​trash after it had been abandoned for five years in the Sheffield suburb of Hillsborough for £110,000 (equivalent to 3.6 billion). copper). According to the auctioneer, the house was fully furnished, but the furniture soon rotted and was no longer usable. Therefore, if you want to turn it into your home, the buyer will have to manually clean up the mountains of garbage in the house. The house has 3 floors including cellar, kitchen and living room on the ground floor, three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the upper floor. However, everything is now extremely messy and dirty, even the kitchen has rusted and yellowed. The wallpaper of the house has been peeled off, revealing old brick walls. The house also had a garden in the backyard but it was overgrown with trees and weeds. According to the introduction, the house is located in a prime location because it is close to bars, restaurants, convenience stores as well as tram and bus stations, so homeowners can easily move to the city center. It’s not a long way to go. After the abandoned house flooded with garbage was for sale on social networks, many people said that they were extremely shocked by the investor’s marketing. “It’s crazy, I will never buy a house like this dump, especially its price is ‘heavenly’, this business idea really shocked me”, “Abandoned house This is no longer usable, it has to be demolished to build a new one, how can the seller post a ruined picture of the house like that, I can’t believe it”, “If you give me the house, I will also ask for permission to return the furniture. interior”, … some sarcastic accounts.

Hashima Island (Japan): This island has been abandoned since 1974. At the end of the 19th century, this place used to be a busy coal mine. Hashima can be seen as a symbol of the industrialization process in Japan. However, oil gradually replaced coal in Japan in the 1960s, which was the main cause of the end of the coal mining industry activities on the island. Image: Getty. Today, Hashima is left with only ruins, gloomy. The special space of the island makes it chosen as the filming location for many movies such as Skyfall, Attack on Titan… The island was officially opened to tourists in 2009. In 2015, UNESCO decided to make it public. Hashima as a World Heritage Site. Photo: Mail Online. North Brother Island (USA): Less than 2 km from Manhattan (New York, USA), this abandoned island has caused a lot of curiosity for half a century. The island’s past is associated with disease, death… From the years 1880 to 1943, the New York government used the island as a place to isolate patients with infectious diseases. Typhoid Mary Mallon – the first person in American history to contract typhoid but show no symptoms – was once isolated here until her death. Image: Cubed. Currently, the government does not allow people to come here for the purpose of tourism, sightseeing… Only a few with special reasons are allowed to visit this island. To get here, you need to take a boat across the East River. A lot of police appear in this area. According to Insider, this may be due to the island’s location near the Rikers Island prison. In addition, the police are also wary of people who intend to approach North Brother Island. Photo: Atlas Obscura. Hirta Island (Scotland): Many traces indicate that humans lived on Hirta Island in the St. Kilda from prehistoric times. However, all of them had to be relocated in 1930 because of the risk of starvation and extreme weather conditions. Image: Sobt. According to Atlas Obscura, since the beginning of the 20th century, the life of the people on the island has been greatly disturbed when delegations from the mainland appeared. They brought with them many interesting cultures and new diseases. In 1930, after the death of a young woman from appendicitis and pneumonia, the islanders were terrified. They asked to be evacuated and live on land. The evacuation took place on August 29, 1930. Before boarding, each person left a plate of oats and an open Bible in the house. Photo: Hudu Trip. Herschel Island (Canada): In 1826, the first Europeans set foot on the island. At that time, the island became a whaling place for about 2,000 people. By the early years of the 20th century, however, whaling had begun to subside. The last family living on Herschel Island left in 1987. Since then, the government has established the Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park with an area of ​​​​the entire island. Image: Wikiwand. Holland Island (USA): The first people to settle on the island began around 1600. Over time, fishing and agriculture developed, attracting many people and sailors to settle. In its most glorious period, the island had about 70 buildings including houses, shops, schools, post offices, churches, medical stations… Photo: Sometimes Interesting. However, the erosion caused Holland Island to gradually disappear from the map. The people tried to save the island in many ways but all failed. This forced them to leave the island to find safer places. Some still cling to the belief that mother nature will “forgave” them. However, a hurricane in 1918 caused the family to finally pack up and leave. In October 2010, the last house on the island collapsed because it could not withstand the natural conditions. By 2012, the island was completely eroded. Photo: TypePad.

“Have you ever seen an abandoned mansion land?”, @ carriejernigan1 say in video. To date, the clip has attracted more than 15 million views and 2.2 million likes. The large house in the Indian Ridge area is degraded, old after more than 10 years abandoned. According to the New York Post, Indian Ridge was started in 2006 at an estimated cost of $ 1.6 billion. The project is 364.22 hectares wide with items including housing, hotel and the second largest indoor water park in the world, in addition to facilities such as golf course, yacht, history museum.

Over time, those game discs gradually piled up. However, those who buy back take it as pride. “Pile of shame” was so popular that it appeared in Urban Dictionary – the famous slang dictionary in America. The popularity of “Pile Of Shame” also directly aroused problems of consumerism: customers buy games to own instead of play. We also gradually get caught up in brilliant advertisements in the media, some heated discussion on forums, and then hit the buy button without thinking. The feeling of buying and possessing overwhelms the user’s feeling of wanting to play. “Pile of shame” therefore also grows with time.

Capturing the psychology of consumers, brands also regularly launch many discount programs to stimulate demand. For example, at each sale of Steam, the participant will never go back empty-handed because there are too many items with “unexpected” discounts. Walking around the shelves, you will convince yourself with statements like “This has decreased a lot compared to before, buy it because you are saving and saving is smart”. As a result, a lot of games are brought home and you are just enjoying the feeling of having them for a while. After that, the products were gradually forgotten. Instead of just shopping without any concern about practicality, users should learn to spend effectively. Don’t try to buy too much until you have actually finished playing all the games. In fact, games are always sold by manufacturers all year round, do not stock up on them for fear of out of stock. Games exist for the sole purpose of being played by the user. If you just buy and never touch it, chances are you are causing the game titles to be distorted.

Before the penalty, the price of the two express delivery items was around 1 yuan this year, which is lower than the industry-recognized cost price of 1.4 yuan per ticket. Chen Tao said, “Now, the price of each order of Jitu and Best has risen to 1.5 yuan and 1.6 yuan. The price is not superior, and the service can’t keep up. We don’t have to.”

Behind the fines of Jitu and Best is the raging price war in the express delivery industry, and Yiwu is the region where the price war is most brutal. The Sino-Singapore Jingwei client previously reported that The express price here was once as low as 80 cents per order. But the impact of the price war is not limited to Yiwu, but radiates across the country. At the end, both the courier and the consumer felt the “adverse reaction” brought about by the price war.

Extreme Rabbit and Best increased their prices after being fined and were abandoned by their partners

Recently, hot spots in the express delivery industry have emerged frequently. In addition to SF Express’s claim that it expected a huge loss of 900 million to 1.1 billion yuan in the first quarter, it also caused concern that on April 9, the Yiwu Post Office punished two express delivery companies, Jitu and Best, for low-price dumping. Some of the distribution centers of these two express delivery companies in Yiwu were also suspended for rectification.

On April 14th, a salesperson in the Yiwu area of ​​Jitu revealed to a reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei that Jitu has four or five distribution centers in Yiwu. Currently, only one of them has been suspended and can be shipped normally without being affected by penalties. “ Now the lowest price of Extreme Rabbit is 1.5 yuan per order, and the above control is very strict, but before the penalty is 1.2 yuan per order, 1.3 yuan. ”

Chen Tao runs a cloud warehouse with a storage area of ​​100,000 square meters in Yiwu. Yuncang can be simply understood as a third-party organization that provides services such as packaging, shipping, and storage to businesses, especially small businesses.

Chen Tao revealed that the price of Jitu before the penalty was 1 yuan per order, which is also the “regular price” of Jitu after the Spring Festival. “Yiwu Post Bureau requires that the unit price of each express company shall not be less than 1.4 yuan, as long as the price of the face order is found to be less than 1.4 yuan, it will be sealed up, whether it is Yuncang or Jitu’s own channels, they dare not report low prices, even if it is No business.”

Under normal circumstances, Yuncang will cooperate with multiple express companies. Chen Tao introduced that, at present, their Yuncang expresses all express delivery except Jitu and Baishi, mainly through YTO. “The quantity of several thousand orders per day, the product weighs several hundred grams, I can give you a price of 1.5 yuan per order. This includes packaging and packaging costs, in fact, the logistics cost is less than 1.4 yuan, we also have some means. If the amount is large and stable in the later stage, there can be some room for it, such as another 5 cents or 1 cent cheaper.” Chen Tao introduced.

Regarding why not to be an extremely rabbit, a hundred, Chen Tao explained that “the two delivery speeds are slow, which affects the ratings of merchants and stores, and customer service spends a lot of time on handling logistics complaints; more importantly, after being fined, the price of Jitu and Best has also increased, which is also 1.5 yuan per order. It’s not cost-effective to use them.”

Another person in charge of a Yuncang Wang in Yiwu revealed to a reporter from Sino-Singapore Jingwei, “There is no express delivery less than 1.4 yuan in Yiwu now. Yuantong, Shentong, Best, Yunda, etc. are 1.6 yuan per order within 300 grams, and the packaging fee is for express bags. An additional 3 hairs and an additional 5 hairs for the carton. Before being punished, the minimum per order for Extreme Rabbit is one yuan, and the minimum for Best is 1.15 yuan per order. Currently I am not doing Extreme Rabbit, and the price of Extreme Rabbit has also increased after being fined, which is not cost-effective. One piece of five or six no one uses Extreme Rabbit.”

As to why Jitu and Best could operate at a price far below the cost price, Chen Tao and the above-mentioned person in charge of Wang agreed that the “killer” is a “subsidy.” “This is more obvious in Jitu. In order to grab market share and order volume, Jitu not only subsidizes merchants, but also subsidizes franchisees.” The person in charge surnamed Wang said.

The above-mentioned Jitu Yiwu regional business staff also confirmed the existence of subsidies to reporters from China-Singapore Jingwei. However, he said that he is not clear about the amount of subsidy for each order. “For regional franchisees, there will be subsidies for completing a certain amount of orders, and the company has established a reward level.”

According to recent media reports, Jitu has completed a US$1.8 billion financing, led by Boyu Capital to invest US$580 million, while Sequoia Capital and Hillhouse also followed suit, with a post-investment valuation of US$7.8 billion. In early April, there were media reports that Jitu plans to conduct an IPO in the United States with a scale of more than $1 billion. However, Jitu did not comment on the above news.

The price war continues, couriers and consumers are “very injured”

Yiwu’s express delivery price war has been around for a long time. Public information shows that Best Huitong launched the “average price sales” strategy in Yiwu in 2013, breaking the balance of the express delivery price market. This trick is very effective, and “four links and one reach” have to adopt a follow-up strategy.

As a result, Yiwu has become a national depression for express delivery prices. For a time, there was a “slaughter price” of “80 cents per order, express delivery nationwide”.

A local business told reporters from Sino-Singapore Jingwei that such a price is basically a loss. But if the price is not reduced, it means that its market share will be occupied by other express companies.

In October 2020, the data released by the Ministry of Transport mentioned that Yiwu’s current express delivery business volume ranks first in the country. In March 2021, Yiwu Post Office disclosed that in January and February alone, express delivery companies in Yiwu completed more than 1.1 billion express orders, a year-on-year increase of 154.6%.

New latitude and longitude in the data map

Although the situation of “8 hairs nationwide” is no longer seen in Yiwu, many industry insiders revealed to the Zhongxin Jingwei reporter that even though the lowest price of Yiwu Express now comes to 1.5 yuan and 1.6 yuan per order, because this price includes packaging , Packing costs, the actual cost left for express transportation is less than 1.4 yuan, and the price war continues.

The price war is also intuitively reflected in the monthly single ticket revenue announced by listed express companies. According to data released by the State Postal Administration in March, the average unit price of the express delivery industry in January and February of 2021 decreased by 20.2% year-on-year, and the revenue per ticket of other members of the “Tongda Department” of Yunda, Yuantong, and Shentong decreased year-on-year in January and February. The amounts were 24.2%, 15.6%, and 19.7% respectively.

The “adverse reaction” brought by the express price war to the end of the logistics is obvious.

Chen Tao revealed that since the end of the Chinese New Year, the express delivery of Jitu and Best from Yiwu to many places across the country has been suspended. “Currently, Jitu is suspended in parts of 17 provinces and cities, and Best is part of 23 provinces and cities. Areas stop shipping.” Chen Tao explained that for normal express shipments out of Yiwu, the delivery fee at the end outlets is 1 yuan per order, but when the price of Jitu and Best is a few cents per order, the delivery fee is only 3 per order. Dime, many outlets will not accept Jitu and Best express mails from Yiwu.

According to a table provided by Chen Tao, since the Spring Festival, Best Express shipments from Yiwu to many regions across the country have been suspended, such as the Economic Development Zone in Hefei City, Anhui Province, Shushan District, Feixi County, and Binzhou City, Shandong Province. Five areas in the urban area, etc., and the reasons for the suspension of distribution were “abnormal outlets and severe express delivery” except for the impact of the epidemic.

The above-mentioned person in charge surnamed Wang also told the China-Singapore Jingwei reporter that Baishi and Jitu do have areas to stop shipping, “the outlets do not accept shipments from Yiwu because of the low cost.”

New latitude and longitude in the data map

According to a reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei, Under normal circumstances, a courier earns 1 yuan per order, a skilled courier can deliver about 200 orders a day, and a novice can deliver about 100 orders a day. According to Chen Tao, “The delivery fee for Jitu and Best Express from Yiwu is only 3 cents per order”, which means that the courier delivers the same amount of express, but the income is reduced by one third.

However, the above-mentioned Jitu Yiwu regional business staff said, At present, Jitu has only failed to achieve coverage in a minority position in the country, and there is no such thing as a suspension of distribution. China-Singapore Jingwei reporters called Best Yiwu Nanxiazhu branch several times on the 15th for verification, and no one answered the manuscript as of press time.

For consumers, this “adverse reaction” is directly reflected in the failure of express delivery, no notification, slow delivery, and so on.

Recently, Mr. Tao in Fengtai District, Beijing, without receiving a call or SMS notification from the courier, accidentally discovered that he had a package delivered by a certain express delivery that had been signed for, and the signee indicated “door”, but Mr. Tao did not arrive home. After finding the package, I contacted the courier and learned that the delivery address was Mr. Tao’s previous address.

There are not a few express-related complaints on the Black Cat complaint platform. For example, the keyword search results for “express delivery without notification” were 885, and the keyword search results for “express delivery without notification” were 218. Among them, there are many complaints such as “delivering the courier to the express supermarket without my consent” and “the courier directly releases the delivery station without notifying the customer during the delivery of the courier”.

An insider of a courier company told a reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei that the courier did not get the consent of the recipient, filling in the signer as “door” or placing the parcel at the door without authorization. This is an irregular delivery. The platform will respond to the express after receiving a complaint. Punishable by the officer.

When will the express price war cease?

Zhao Xiaomin, an express logistics expert and CEO of Guanshuo Enterprise Management (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., said in an interview with a reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei that a long-term price war will bring a vicious circle that will damage consumers and couriers. “Price wars will inevitably bring about fluctuations in express delivery outlets, which means that the end of express delivery is unstable. The direct response is the decline in the income of the couriers and the decline in service quality, and ultimately the loss of users.” Zhao Xiaomin said.

When will the price war end? CITIC Securities predicted in a report that the fierce price war will continue throughout 2021. “Before the general pattern of the industry is determined, any price truce will prove to be invalid.”

Lai Meisong, chairman of Zhongtong Express, said at the end of 2020 that with the progress of the differentiation of express delivery companies, the “price war” will slow down and even an inflection point will appear. As for when the turning point will come, Lai Meisong believes that it will still depend on the market input of leading companies’ production capacity, but “this point of time will not wait too long.”

New latitude and longitude in the data map

Zhao Xiaomin predicts that the price war in the express delivery industry will come to an end at the end of the second quarter of 2021. “It is mainly based on the analysis of the changes in the market share of express delivery companies. At present, there is no greater improvement. At the same time, the instability of terminal outlets and couriers caused by price wars has seriously affected the user experience.” Zhao Xiaomin said, “Price wars At a certain stage, there will be a critical point. For example, express delivery companies continue to cut prices, and business volume does not rise but decline; for example, the number of outlets fluctuates more and more, and the loss of control is a sign of the arrival of the critical point of the price war.” China-Singapore Jingwei APP)

On April 9, Jitu was fined for dumping at a low price and rushed to the top search list on Weibo. On the same day, Yiwu Post Administration issued a warning letter to Jitu, stating that Jitu Distribution Center and multiple express mail processing sites had potential safety hazards. Yiwu Post Administration had notified Jitu four times and warned that “Do not use far “Dumping at a price lower than cost”, but Jitu has not rectified as required, so it sent a letter requesting it to make rectification.

Jitu Express was previously considered to be a Pinduoduo department. After it was punished, Pingduoduo issued a statement on April 12, clarifying that it has no special cooperation or investment relationship with Jitu Express. At the same time, in the process of developing customers for some of the Super Rabbit Express outlets, the staff distributed to the merchants “Pinduoduo orders can be exempted from false delivery related penalties and the probability of being penalized is low”, “There are Pinduoduo investment, If the two parties have a special cooperative relationship” and other false information, Jitu Express will be punished by increasing the margin for business cooperation.

According to media reports, in March, Jitu Express adopted a strategy of strong subsidies. As a result, the price of Yiwu Express delivery was hit below 1 yuan. Small items with a daily shipment of more than 10,000 pieces can be delivered at 1 yuan, which is the lowest in quality. Can do 8 cents. (Text | Qiao Yu of AI Finance and Economics Agency)

This article’s Professor and Doctor of Dermatology Duong Hy Xuyen (China) talk about the history of leprosy and the miracles that humans have fought to overcome this evil disease.

When you hear the word “leprosy”, what comes to mind first?

“Phong Village” is forgotten

Without a doubt, most people have this idea first in mind.

This is a somewhat frightening and remote topic, this bizarre disease has been too distant for us in the 21st century, far enough away to be forgotten.

Fifty years ago, hundreds of thousands of shunned leprosy people were still living in China, now it is hard to see them. The miserable patients are inherently seen as symbols of sin: leprosy and death are equated.

Leprosy is a chronic bacterial illness that can be written as leprosy, but it has nothing to do with madness. Perhaps to avoid such misunderstandings, this disease is often referred to as “leprosy”.

But everyone’s association with it is not only madness, but also represents bright red eyes, short fingers, festering wounds, amputated feet, distorted appearance and even death. miserable.

For thousands of years, leprosy has been considered an evil disease, even a symbol of evil, and under the tragic fate of leprosy patients, they continue to be tortured both physically and mentally, This is beyond our imagination.

In the old era, when medical technology was limited, medical equipment was scarce, leprosy was basically determined to be incurable since it had regionally contagious properties, the only way to Control of fluid growth is isolating the patient.

So, on the mountain, on an isolated island, a group of leprosy villages were built so that the sick lived there. There is no specific medicine or vaccine, and untreated self-resisting patients will continue to develop ulcers and disfigurement until they become paralyzed or even die.

Over time, people misunderstood, dispelled, and feared it, and the “scary” Phong was now a trademark of terror.

The end of the leprosy era

The leprosy history is long, stretching for 1400 years, like an endless nightmare.

It was not until 1874 that the Norwegian physician Hansen (GerhardH.A.Hansen) broke the darkness that he discovered the culprit – the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae.

Symptoms caused by Mycobacterium leprosy bacteria are manifested in the skin, peripheral nerves, mucosa of the upper respiratory tract and eyes, if not treated promptly can lead to blindness or deformity, disability and other consequences.

In other words, once leprosy is found, the disability rate will be very high. However, if the disability is detected early and treated promptly, the disability can be cured.

In current medical conditions, leprosy is already an easy-to-diagnose and treatable disease, currently in clinical use mainly a combination of many drugs and chemotherapy treatments, which can cure leprosy. Within 6-24 months, the contagiousness of the disease may disappear after a week of taking the drug.

Usually, if the patient unfortunately gets the disease, the patient does not need to have negative psychology and bewildered when treating this disease, on the one hand it will not be inherited, on the other hand, the survival rate of bacteria in vitro is low.

Generally, they can be destroyed by disinfection, most people have natural immunity (according to survey statistics with 90% or more), extremely low incidence, when infected. Nor does it need isolation, just treatment.

Darkness has long passed, the era when leprosy is “incurable disease” has been shortened by history. At present, there are basically few new cases, there is no so-called “leprosy village”, only more than 3,000 elderly people in community rehabilitation villages have survived the disease, but have also incapable of working, still facing sequelae.

Leprosy is not terrible

Although leprosy is rare, but because it is very similar to the symptoms of other diseases, it is possible to misdiagnose or omit the disease, so the prevention and treatment cannot be relaxed.

On the other hand, leprosy is a disease with a dark history. Even modern people will still have a lack of sympathy towards patients with fear of leprosy, which has become the biggest obstacle to leprosy prevention today.

So sometimes, it is not the terminal illness, but the hearts of people. Of course, society is not without action.

The last Sunday of January every year is “World leprosy Day”, many countries will organize many activities on this day to mobilize social forces to help leprosy patients overcome difficulties in their life. live and work to eliminate prejudice and discrimination.

There are also many volunteers entering the rehabilitation village, sharing, chatting, even eating, living together, giving care, warm care and making their best contributions. can.

The original purpose of writing this article was to hope everyone to have a correct understanding of leprosy, not to be bound by inherent impressions of the past. Leprosy is not as formidable and frightening as we can imagine. It can be seen from a scientific perspective, it will reduce the superficial evaluation and alienate the patient.
