Friends who like to travel should not be unfamiliar with wind and rain covered bridges in minority areas, because they are a very common bridge construction. These covered bridges not only allow people to walk through rivers and streams, but also provide shelter for passers-by. The place of rain is also a resting place for pedestrians who have traveled long distances in the depths of the mountains. There are many well-known covered bridges in China, especially those ethnic minority autonomous counties in Guizhou. Almost every cottage has wind and rain covered bridges, and there are many famous ones. However, as far as the wind and rain covered bridges in Guangxi are concerned, it has to be said that they are located in Sanjiang, Liuzhou. Chengyang Yongji Bridge. Yongji Bridge is a wind and rain covered bridge for the Dong nationality. It is located at the Linxi River in Chengyang Bazhai (Ma’anzhai), Linxi Township, Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County, Guangxi. The bridge is 96 meters in length, 4 meters in width and 7 meters in height. It is preserved in Guangxi. One of the most perfect stone arch bridges so far, it is now a national key cultural relics protection unit, and it was also included in the country’s preliminary list of declarations of world cultural heritage to the United Nations in 1997. Yongji Bridge is a representative gallery bridge built by the Dong compatriots over thousands of years, which contains super-high architectural skills and wisdom. Maybe some friends don’t know much about the Dong nationality. In fact, it is a relatively ethnic minority living in southwest my country. The total population exceeds 2.5 million. The Dong nationality compatriots are good at wooden construction. In their Dong villages, there are many buildings everywhere. Drum Tower, Zhaimen, Dajiaolou and Fengyu Bridge with peculiar shapes and rigorous structure. According to the staff, Yongji Bridge is also known as Chengyang Bridge or Chengyang Fengyu Bridge because it is located at the entrance of Chengyang Bazhai. The bridge was built in 1912 and has a history of 109 years. From the structure of the bridge Look, the lower part of the bridge is composed of two piers and three piers built with blue stones. The piers are six-sided columns. The upstream and downstream are all pointed, with an angle of attack of 68 degrees. Therefore, the design is extremely scientific, even if it encounters no matter how large the water is. Its scouring force will also be quickly removed. As a national key cultural protection unit and a quasi-world cultural heritage, Chengyang Yongji Bridge is not only a landmark of Chengyang Bazhai, but also one of the landmarks of Sanjiang County. The villagers in the village are also full of affection for it, and often also Some grand and grand welcoming ceremonies are held on this bridge. For example, the picture above is the situation encountered when Yu Fan went to visit. The beautiful Dong family girl stopped the bridge head of Yongji Bridge with a red rope, and the tourists entered the village. Either drink, or sing in antithesis, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the village. A very interesting welcome ceremony. There are five bridge pavilions in Yongji Bridge, and the tops of these bridge pavilions and the corners of the eaves are inlaid with beautiful ornaments. Tung oil, lime, and glutinous rice syrup are used as raw materials to create lifelike auspicious birds. According to the old people in the stockade, these gourds and auspicious birds have good meanings, such as a bunch of gourds, which symbolizes a good weather, a lot of fruits, and a good harvest every year. And the auspicious birds are like spreading their wings and want to fly, which is a good embellishment for the beautiful pictures of Wind and Rain Bridge. The length of Yongji Bridge is 77.6 meters, the width is 3.75 meters, and the height is 20 meters. Its structural technology and plastic art form a high degree of unity. In those days, the ink masters and craftsmen did not need to draw, make molds, or nail or rivet. They all relied on a wooden square called “fragrant pole” by the locals to measure, draw, chisel, and saw to make the structure complex and majestic. The magnificent wind and rain bridge was built. At the bridgehead of Yongji Bridge, there is a red inscription, which is said to be inscribed by Mr. Guo Moruo. In 1965, after Mr. Guo Moruo saw the model of Chengyang Bridge in Beijing, he was pleasantly surprised and happily wrote the three characters “Chengyang Bridge”. And praised with poems: Yan said the Linxi Wind and Rain Bridge, which is twenty feet long and four feet long. The Zhongling Liange is pleasant and ingenious, and the columns flow into Wangyao. Bamboo and wood are stronger than iron, and the tea forest will grow new seedlings forever. When you can get to the Three Rivers Road, learn how to use plows and work hard. At the bridgehead of Yongji Bridge, we saw pieces of bluestone tablets erected on them, which recorded the names of the donors of the villages and villages when the Fengyu Bridge was built. According to the “Sanjiang County Chronicles”: Actively strive to be the first… The supply of materials is regardless of the rich or the poor, the service does not count the sun and the moon, men and women, old and young, only do their best, and never stop without prejudice.” The Dong family’s love of public welfare, solidarity and friendship can be seen from this. This is the treasure of Chengyang Bazhai town-Yongji Bridge. As a wind and rain bridge spanning the river with all stone and wood structure, it has a long history and is beautiful in appearance, exquisitely crafted and well-preserved. It may become a world cultural heritage in the future. It’s just a matter of time. If you have the opportunity to visit Liuzhou, you can stop here.

Judgment on Presale Fees Defeat for ticket retailer CTS Eventim

As of: 06/09/2021 5:24 p.m.

Are ticket retailers allowed to keep advance booking fees for concerts that have been canceled due to corona? The Munich Regional Court has declared a clause ineffective that excludes a refund. However, there is no general claim. Several CTS Eventim customers are upset. You had booked a concert at the ticket dealer early on, which was then canceled due to Corona. Nevertheless, CTS Eventim withheld the advance booking fee. Now they want the fee back. The North Rhine-Westphalia consumer center therefore took it to court and sued the company. With success: the consumer advocates were partially right at the Munich I Regional Court. The judges declared ineffective a clause in which the company had excluded a reimbursement of the advance booking fee if the event was canceled or postponed. A corresponding sentence in the general terms and conditions is illegal.

It depends on the contracts

In the opinion of the court, the ticket retailer must bear the risk of an event alone and should not pass costs on to the customers if the event does not take place. After all, the dealer collects a commission if an event goes off successfully, the judges argue. In addition, the amount of the advance booking fee is often not visible in the ticket prices, the court complained. This is not transparent. However, the judgment, which is not yet final, does not mean that all customers are now entitled to a refund of the advance booking fees for the concert that has been canceled due to Corona. That depends on the respective design of the contracts. CTS Eventim would only be responsible for the reimbursement at a commercial agency. Eventim arranges event tickets either through a commercial agency or through an organizer through a commission. In the latter case, the concert promoter would be responsible for the reimbursement. “We are assuming that in a large number of cases Eventim wrongly withheld amounts of money,” said Wolfgang Schuldzinski, board member of the consumer advice center in North Rhine-Westphalia. Now those affected who are in dispute with the group could ask it to pay and refer to the judgment.

CTS Eventim suffers from the lull in concerts

The dispute over the advance booking fee shows how tense the situation in the concert event industry is. The largest German ticket retailer CTS Eventim is suffering from the unusual concerts and events. In the first quarter of this year, sales collapsed by almost 90 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. The Bremen company slipped into the red. The number of employees including temporary workers fell by almost a third. Nevertheless, CEO Klaus-Peter Schulenberg does not give up hope of a new start soon. He relies on the “longing of people to experience culture together”. The more people vaccinated, the greater the chance of concerts.

EU funds for holiday flyers Aid for Condor declared null and void

As of: 06/09/2021 1:00 p.m.

The EU court annulled a decision of the EU Commission that allowed German aid for the Condor airline. Ryanair had sued against the release. Ryanair has achieved a success against state corona aid for the German airline Condor before the EU court (EGG). The judges overturned the EU Commission’s decision to approve the aid. The decision of the Brussels authority was not sufficiently justified, said the court in Luxembourg. In practice, however, this initially has no consequences: the effect of the declaration of invalidity was suspended until the EU Commission has passed a new decision. This means that Condor does not have to repay the money immediately.

Loan of 550 million euros

Germany had registered the aid in favor of Condor in Brussels in April 2020. This involved two government-secured loans with reduced interest rates in the amount of 550 million euros. The background was damage caused by the cancellation or postponement of flights due to travel restrictions in the corona pandemic. The low-cost airline Ryanair complained, among other things, of violations of the free movement of services and filed a lawsuit against the release.

Connection with bankruptcy proceedings?

At Condor, the situation had worsened due to the bankruptcy of the parent company Thomas Cook in autumn 2019, which preceded the corona crisis. The airline was only able to continue working with rescue aid of 380 million euros, which was also approved by the EU. The insolvency proceedings initiated at the time had to be extended after the outbreak of the Corona crisis because the new owner, the Polish aviation company PGL, had jumped off. The 550 million euros in government aid also included costs that resulted from the extension of the insolvency proceedings at Condor. Ryanair had argued that the commission had not explained why it had even included the extended insolvency period when calculating the damage to Condor from the corona crisis. The Condor case is one of many in which Ryanair is taking action against state corona aid for competitors. So far, the plaintiff has succeeded in some cases but not in others. (Case T 665/20)

On April 23, Japan declared a state of emergency in Tokyo and three western provinces, in the context of the country facing a wave of epidemics. COVID-19 when only 3 months from the Olympics Olympic will take place. Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide said that an emergency will be in place in Tokyo and Kyoto, Osaka and Hyogo prefectures. According to Economic Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura, the state of emergency will last from April 25 to May 11. In particular, restaurants, bars, karaoke bars serving alcoholic beverages will have to close, while sporting events will take place without audience. Violations will be sanctioned according to the new rules. Department stores, movie theaters and other businesses over 1,000 square meters will also close, while offices and businesses have to make it easier for employees to work from home. Even so, schools continued to open. According to Minister Nishimura, Japanese officials want people to limit travel as much as possible, so it needs strong, concentrated and short-term restrictions. Execution wave state of emergency this time affects nearly a quarter of the Japanese population and will last through “Golden Week” (29 / 4-5 / 5). Therefore, the tourism industry and the service business are expected to suffer a lot. Meanwhile, the Mayor Tokyo Yuriko Koike said authorities would recommend that shops and buildings turn off signs and advertising lights at night to let the city “fall into the dark”, thereby making residents less likely to go out into the street . Besides, Ms. Koike also suggested people who do not live in Tokyo should not come to this city if possible./. People in the Japanese capital Tokyo. (Photo: AFP / VNA)

Last week, India’s Health Minister Harsh Vardhan affirmed that the Covid-19 death rate in this country is “at the lowest in the world”. The statement of the head of the medical industry is in stark contrast to the series of shocking images and stories of cremations burned day and night due to overloaded bodies, patients dying on the road due to lack of breathing. gas, according Guardian . Question of concealing data of the dead? Official records of the Indian authorities show that the number of people infected and fatal has increased continuously. On May 1, the South Asian country experienced another record-breaking day with 401,993 new cases and 3,523 deaths from Covid-19. But health experts have the same view that the official number does not fully reflect the size of the number of deaths caused by Covid-19 in India. At this time, because medical facilities are overloaded and lack medical supplies, many patients cannot be hospitalized and die at home, even without adequate testing. Meanwhile, the local authorities were accused of not making accurate statistics, even hiding the actual death toll in the area where they were responsible. Relatives stand by when the dead body is cremated. Photo: Reuters. In the past month, in the city of Karnataka, Bangalore – where the number of infections has been among the fastest growing in the country – the number of corpses registered for cremation with Covid-19 is twice as high as the number of deaths recorded by the authorities. The information concealment charge is particularly notable in Uttar Pradesh, where the state government is governed by the ruling Bharatiya Janata (BJP) party. Adityanath, governor of Uttar Pradesh, insisted that the state had no shortage of oxygen, and threatened to prosecute anyone who spread panic information. Authorities Uttar Pradesh denied allegations of information hiding. The truss burned day and night In the Muzaffarnagar city of Uttar Pradesh state, data are available from the weekly newspaper Observer The collection revealed the discrepancy between the local authorities’ death statistics and the number of bodies cremated at city cremation facilities and cemeteries. Official data recorded only 10 deaths from Covid-19 in the last four days of April. But according to Ajay Kumar Agarwal, owner of a city cremation facility, that is only an odd number compared to the bodies burned. burned at this facility every day. “Normally we cremate 3 bodies per day. But in the past 10 days, the number of cremated bodies has increased many times. There are days 18, some days 20, then 22 and 25. In the past 10 days, not yet.” we have less than 12 bodies every day, 90% of which are corona deaths, “said Agarwal. Mr. Agarwal’s cremation facility only had seven crematoriums, so the staff had to cremate the body on the ground. Some of the bodies were sent to another facility 35 kilometers from the city. The pyre burned day and night in India. Photo: Reuters. Mr. Agarwal accused local authorities of publishing “inaccurate” data, denying the possibility that the city has experienced no days, or that only one or two people died of Covid-19 in the past week. . “The authorities have not released the exact death figures. I don’t understand why they are hiding it. Maybe they don’t want people to panic,” Agarwal said. Similar comments were made by Sanjay Mittal, an employee at another cremation facility in Muzaffarnagar. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. We set the crematorium on fire from dawn to dusk,” Mittal said. Before the pandemic, Mittal’s cremation facility handled about 5 bodies a day. But on April 27, they received 21 bodies. On April 28, the number of bodies decreased to 15, before once again increasing to 19 on April 29. “It is noon now, and we have already got 12 bodies. I don’t know how much more will it be by the end of the day,” Mittal said on April 30. The number of bodies taken for burial has also increased sharply in the Muslim cemetery in Muzaffarnagar. “Before the corona virus, we buried 2-3 bodies a week, but now it is 6-7 bodies a day. Only three of them come from the hospital, the rest are either dead at home or not tested,” Mr. Abdul Quadir, curator, said. Government data show that Muzaffarnagar has a very low rate of testing. On April 27, the whole city did not conduct tests. On April 29, only 561 people were tested, all positive for corona virus. The actual number of deaths could be 3 times higher An unnamed doctor from the Medical Association in Uttar Pradesh state said that many people die from pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis – typical symptoms of severe form Covid-19. “We have to accept that the death toll from corona virus is much higher than the official statistics. The bodies we see at the crematorium are mostly self-medicating at home, and they die.” The number of deaths like this is very high, but most of them have not been recorded. The rate of testing here is much lower than the need, “the doctor said. Murad Banaji, the mathematician who modeled the plague in India, said the numerous streams of evidence suggest that the understatement of deaths from disease is a serious problem. This expert believes that the number of deaths in India is at least 3 times higher than the official statistics. The conclusion is based on calculations from major cities like Mumbai, where during the first outbreak of the epidemic he calculated the number of “excess deaths” compared to the annual number of deaths. Mass cremation area in New Delhi. Photo: Reuters. This calculation could put the number of Covid-19 deaths in Mumbai from 13,000 to about 21,000. Banaji stressed that in less developed rural areas, such as in the states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, with limited medical facilities, Covid-19 deaths are not recorded “perhaps much larger than in cities like Mumbai “. The consequences of inaccurate statistics on the number of deaths can be very serious. It will affect the effective allocation of resources, limiting the ability to develop a suitable immunization strategy to help prevent future outbreaks. “If we don’t have data to understand what’s going on in the current pandemic, how can India prepare for the future?” Mr. Banaji said. The chaplain’s account of the funeral for 150 Covid-19 patients before cremation Every day, Hindu cleric RamKaran Mishra performs a funeral for about 150 people who have died from Covid-19 at the Ghazipur crematory facility east of New Delhi, India.

In the face of huge losses, Zotye Automobile said that in 2020, due to the shortage of funds, the company’s automobile production bases are basically in a state of suspension or semi-stop production, and the company’s main product, automobile, has basically no sales revenue. At the same time, the company’s main business vehicle business is in a state of suspension or semi-stop production, resulting in a huge loss in the company’s overall performance in 2020.

However, compared with the loss of 11.190 billion yuan in 2019, Zotye Auto’s loss has decreased. Of course, Zotye Automobile said at that time that it could not guarantee the authenticity and accuracy of the financial data.

Looking back at the development history of Zotye Automobile in 2020, it is not an exaggeration to use the term “horrible” to describe it. In September 2020, the creditors of Zotye Automobile applied to the court for pre-reorganization because they were unable to pay off their due debts.

During the year, its subsidiaries including Zotye New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., Hunan Jiangnan Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Jieneng Power Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Yiwei Automobile Industry Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Zotye Automobile Sales Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Zotye Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. were bankrupted and reorganized. / Bankruptcy liquidation, even the controlling shareholder of Zotye Automobile Tieniu Group was declared bankrupt by the court.

In addition, because the production base is in a state of suspension or semi-stop production, Zotye Automobile’s Wuguo Six vehicles are available for sale, and its Junma, Hanteng, and Hanlong brands continue to thunder, and dealers and employees have joined the team to ask for salaries.

From an independent auto company with an annual sales volume of more than 300,000 vehicles to today’s negative net assets, the development of Zotye Auto is just a microcosm of the survival of the fittest in the Chinese auto market.

As a “taker”, Zotye Auto is a car company that started by imitating. Its products often attract consumers’ attention in a short period of time. For example, Zotye T600 imitates Volkswagen Touareg, Damai X7 imitates Volkswagen Touareg, and Z700 imitates. Audi A6L. In particular, Zotye SR9 directly imitated the appearance of Porsche Macan, making “Porstech” popular all over the country.

However, these models have a characteristic. When they debuted on the market, their sales volume increased sharply due to their super-high looks. However, after a period of time on the market, the sales of these models dropped sharply.

Although imitation can be sought after by consumers in a short period of time, it is obviously unable to keep up with the long-term development of the times in terms of technology and product capabilities.

According to industry insiders, there are three main reasons for Zotye’s current status: first, poor management and blindly investing and expanding production without considering the actual situation; second, lack of core technology, no product competitiveness, and continuous product quality; It is the decline in subsidies for new energy vehicles, and Zotye New Energy has not adapted to the development of the times.

It is worth mentioning that although Zotye Auto lost a substantial net profit, its share price could not stop its rise. From 1.14 yuan per share on January 11 to 4.08 yuan per share on April 16, an increase of 240%. For this reason, Zotye Automobile has been suspended for verification many times, but still cannot stop the daily limit. The industry speculates that the reason why the stock price of Zotye Auto continues to rise at the limit has a lot to do with the reorganization. As for who is the white horse guardian of Zotye Auto, it is still unknown.

On April 6, Zotye Automobile issued an announcement denying negotiations and cooperation with Tesla, Xiaomi, Weilai, Baoneng and others. After that, on April 7-9, the share price of Zotye Automobile fell to the limit for three consecutive days. When it was thought that Zotye Automobile stopped rising, Zotye Automobile gained a daily limit for four consecutive days.

Although the share price of Zotye Automobile continues to hit new highs, Zotye Automobile is currently in a state of restructuring, with a loss of more than 20 billion yuan in two years, and the road to reorganization of Zotye Automobile is far away. The current auto market has overcapacity, survival of the fittest and intensified competition in inventory. Even if Zotye Auto is successfully reorganized, its later development potential will not be great, and the chance of turning over is very slim.

And this has influenced consumers’ decisions and protecting benefits. profits for oil and gas corporations. This is not the first time New York City has “declared war” on the giants of the oil industry. In early 2018, New York Mayor De Blasio announced the city was suing five fossil fuel companies – BP, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Shell – to federal court for their roles in Climate Change. At the end of 2019, New York City continued to sue ExxonMobil Group in a climate change issue. Lawsuits are filed with the aim of forcing energy corporations to tell the truth about commercial behavior and the products they sell, according to New York City Law Officer James Johnson. “Consumers have the right to choose different products and many consumers are very concerned about climate change”, added Mr. James Jhonson.
