Since the third quarter of 2020, the panel industry has ushered in the strongest price increase cycle in history. From the end of May 2020 to April 2021, the growth rates of 32/43/55/65-inch TV panels were 141%/91%/100%/56% respectively. At the same time, the problem of upstream chip shortages continues, and to a certain extent, the increase in panel growth has also intensified.

According to a recent study by Goldman Sachs, there are as many as 169 industries in the world that are affected to some extent by the shortage of chips, ranging from automobiles, steel products, concrete production to air-conditioning manufacturing, and even soap production.

How do you view the trend of the panel industry this year? How to solve the problem of chip shortage? How should companies travel through the cyclical fluctuations of the industry? Sohu think tank “To Know 100 People” talked with TCL founder and chairman Li Dongsheng.

Li Dongsheng said that this round of panel price increases was mainly caused by the strong growth in demand for display products since the epidemic and the cyclical fluctuations in the industry. The current shortage of supply and demand is mainly concentrated on large-size products, and the supply of small and medium-sized products is relatively sufficient. It is expected that a basic balance of supply and demand can be achieved within this year. Li Dongsheng pointed out that in the past ten years, the entire display industry has experienced two cyclical fluctuations, and now it is the third time. For enterprises, it is necessary to have the ability to operate and manage through industry cycle fluctuations. In the management through this cycle, one aspect of the company must have strategic control capabilities, and the other must rely on improving its own core capabilities, especially product technical capabilities. “The development of the semiconductor display industry is not just driven by market demand, but also driven by innovation. So for TCL, we are constantly expanding our production capacity, but every increase in production capacity is not simple. The expansion of scale must make progress in the iterative upgrade of products.” Li Dongsheng said. Talking about the shortage of chips, Li Dongsheng believes that there are two main reasons. One is the rapid growth of the demand side, especially the rapid development of the electric vehicle market, and the other is the insufficient new investment on the supply side. Although the investment has increased rapidly in the past two years , But it still takes time to form an effective production capacity. Li Dongsheng predicts that the current chip shortage will continue for 9 to 12 months. In Li Dongsheng’s view, the development of the chip industry is not just about having funds, but also related to technical capabilities. The lack of domestic high-end chip manufacturing capabilities and the lack of core equipment are currently the bottleneck restricting the development of the chip industry. Facing the technological blockade, China is increasing its investment in equipment, technology, and materials to accelerate the development of China’s chip integrated circuit manufacturing industry. “But everyone should not have too optimistic expectations about this process. I believe it will take at least 3 to 5 years.” Finally, Li Dongsheng pointed out, In the long run, the science and technology industry must have a global division of labor. It is not the most competitive method for a country to fully complete its industrial chain behind closed doors. In the future, we must be more open and win-win cooperation to better promote the healthy development of the industry. TCL founder and chairman Li Dongsheng The following is a compilation of interviews: Sohu Finance: You once said that globalization is a sustainable way for companies to cope with changes in the global economic landscape and the new challenges of trade protectionism. What is the current progress of TCL’s global layout? Can you share a few successful experiences of TCL in expanding the international market? Li Dongsheng: TCL has initially formed a complete global industrial layout. We have established eight industrial bases in major overseas countries and regions. In the near future, our ninth industrial base in India will also be built. We have established industrial supply chains around the world so that our industrial supply chains can penetrate into major countries and regional markets. One is that tariffs and trade protectionism can be avoided, and this new business model can also be recognized and recognized by the host country. stand by. We do not simply sell products to relevant countries and regions, but set up our industrial parks locally and establish corresponding supply chains. In this way, while developing our own global business, we can also contribute to the local social and economic development. So this kind of business model has been developing smoothly in all countries and regions so far. Sohu Finance: Starting from the third quarter of 2020, the panel industry has ushered in the strongest price increase cycle in history. How do you see the trend of the panel industry this year? Li Dongsheng: China is now the world’s leading producer of semiconductor display products. Taking the LCD industry as an example, we have accounted for more than half of the global production capacity. In other emerging display technology areas, we are also catching up quickly. This round of panel price increases is affected by the cyclical effects of the industry on the one hand, and during the epidemic, the demand for display products has grown very strongly. The current cycle of relatively tight supply may continue for a while, but in the end it will tend to balance supply and demand. The current supply and demand shortage of semiconductor display products is mainly concentrated in large-size products, and the supply of small and medium-sized products is still sufficient. China’s semiconductor display production capacity has been relatively large in investment in the past few years, so to alleviate this gap in supply and demand, it should be possible to achieve a basic balance between supply and demand within this year. Sohu Finance: How do you think companies should travel through the cyclical fluctuations of the industry? Li Dongsheng: For enterprises, we need to have a long-term business plan, and have the ability to operate and manage through industry cycle fluctuations. In the past ten years, the entire display industry has experienced two cyclical fluctuations, and now it is the third time. In the management through this cycle, one aspect of the company must have strategic control capabilities, and the other must rely on improving its own core capabilities, especially product technical capabilities. The development of the semiconductor display industry is not just driven by a force of market demand, another very important driving force comes from Driven by innovation . The development of some new display technologies and display products will create a new market demand. So for TCL, we are constantly expanding our production capacity, but Every increase in production capacity is not a simple scale expansion, it must be progress in the iterative upgrade of products. The two projects we started building in Guangzhou recently are a new attempt. We want to make a breakthrough in new display technology and open up a new market demand. Sohu Finance: How do you view the problem of chip shortage and how much impact will it have on TCL? Li Dongsheng: Chip supply has indeed been in short supply since last year, I think It is mainly caused by the rapid growth on the demand side and the insufficient growth on the supply side. On the demand side, especially with the development of electric vehicles, the demand for related chips is growing very fast. On the supply side, due to insufficient investment in the entire chip industry in the past few years, although domestic investment has increased relatively rapidly in the past two years, it will take some time to form effective production capacity. I think, The current chip shortage may continue for 9 to 12 months, but in the end it will be faster to balance. . The chip industry is actually divided into two parts, one is chip design, and the other is chip manufacturing. TCL will focus on chip design. At this stage, we will not consider investing in large-scale wafer manufacturing plants for the time being. As a terminal product manufacturer, we have an advantage in chip design. In fact, in the development of many smart technologies, it will integrate this technology into the chip, so if we have the capability of this chip, we will be even more powerful in the development of related smart product technologies. Sohu Finance: What do you think is the biggest dilemma in the development of the chip industry? Li Dongsheng: The bottleneck in the development of the chip industry, I think one is the accumulation of capabilities, and the other is the lack of core equipment. At present, the manufacturing process capability, technology and team capability of domestic chips are still far behind compared with Taiwan, South Korea, the United States, and Japan. Therefore, the construction of this project is not only about funds, but also related to technical capabilities. The second is limited by equipment. At present, some core equipment for chips cannot be produced in China. Everyone may have paid attention to many reports on the Internet. For example, SMIC’s current production process is 28 nanometers. If you go forward, the equipment will not be sold to us abroad, and the domestic development of this equipment, I believe It takes a relatively long time, so the manufacturing capacity of this higher-end chip is also a constraint. However, this round of technological blockade of China will promote China’s equipment, technology, or materials, we will increase investment in this area, and will accelerate the development of China’s chip integrated circuit manufacturing industry. But this process should not be too optimistic. I believe it will be a process of at least 3 to 5 years. Therefore, in the long run, the science and technology industry must have a global division of labor. It is not the most competitive method for a country to completely complete its industrial chain behind closed doors. Some of the current practices are also forced by the situation. Therefore, in the future development, we still need to have a more open mind and a win-win mentality to better promote the healthy development of the industry

Are the small shops in each area prosperous, and are the fireworks strong? In the past, city managers could only understand through coarse-grained statistics or organizing on-site visits. Now, through the “Small Store Index” module of the “Meituan City Digital Signs System”, city managers can clearly perceive At present-in Huangpu, Putuo and other areas, the index of small shops in supermarket convenience, fresh fruit, snacks and catering is more than 60% higher than other districts; while small shops in the leisure and entertainment field are the top three fastest-growing districts They are Chongming, Qingpu and Baoshan, which demonstrate the huge growth potential of urban economic development.

A good life in the city is a huge proposition. It is closely related to everyone living in the city. It is more than a small shop, a breakfast full of vitality and within reach, a shared bicycle that is convenient for green travel, and even home. The parks at the gates and the activities held by urban commercial bodies are all microscopic components of the nerve endings of a good life. If the fresh social data can feed back to the government, it will become a new supplement to the digital governance of the market.

On June 10, Shanghai City Operation Digital Sign 1.0 was officially launched. Just today, Meituan and the Shanghai Institute of Digital Governance released in Shanghai the country’s first digital platform for life services in the field of government affairs-“Meituan City Digital Sign System”, which will be connected to the “Shanghai City Operation Digital Sign System” “Based on Meituan’s consumption, evaluation data and practice accumulation in the field of life services, through observation of urban consumption such as catering and entertainment, as well as life service modules such as the operation of small stores, it empowers city operation and management and helps create a quality life.

The fastest data update can be synchronized with the real scene in real time

The “Meituan City Better Life Digital Sign System” released this time is based on Meituan’s practice in the field of life services under the guidance and help of the Shanghai Urban Transport Center, and draws on the experience of the Urban Transport Center in the field of digital governance of super large cities. , Which took more than a year to explore together.

In terms of coverage, the digital signs of a good life in the city cover more than 200 sub-categories in 6 categories, including food, lodging, travel, shopping, and entertainment; at the level of consumption scenarios, search, browse, order, and evaluation form complete consumption. Closed-loop windows, through the supply-demand relationship model, build a healthy supply-demand ecology; at the geographic level, it can be refined to streets and business circles, and run through the various units of urban management vertically, achieving macroscopic view, manageable at the end, and breaking barriers horizontally through inter-regional comparison And mobile insights to help fine-tune urban governance. At present, the data update on the system can be synchronized with the real scene in real time at the fastest.

Meituan Bicycle, the most familiar to Shanghai citizens, converts the number of kilometers that citizens ride on shared bicycles daily into actual figures for reducing carbon emissions in the “Bicycle Riding Heat Map” module. The reporter saw that in the data released on the day of release, the number of kilometers that Shanghai citizens rode on a bicycle that day, if converted into a private car trip, is equivalent to replacing about 160,000 trips with a private car, and the calories consumed by cycling is equal to about 240,000. The calories of a burger or 1.46 million xiaolongbao.

Not only that, the data in the field of transportation capacity distribution provides an effective reference for city managers to solve the “last mile” of citizens’ travel. Li Jiao, head of big data products at Meituan City, gave an example. When a company launches shared bicycles, it may place 8 cars at exit 1 of a certain subway station and 2 cars at exit 2 according to the traffic volume. Changes in the weather and an important meeting may change the use of shared bicycles. With the help of government public data and open resources, shared bicycles will become more “smart”, which will be based on passenger flow at rail stations, weather changes, etc. The data adjusts the number of vehicles delivered. Citizens’ evaluation of public service places can also become an important reference for city managers to improve their management level. The reporter saw that the “Resident Evaluation” module in the “Meituan Digital Signs System for a Better Life in Cities” is to analyze the natural evaluations of users on the POI pages of urban public services such as parks and stadiums collected by Meituan to encourage citizens to actively participate. Urban governance practices the concept of “People’s Cities and People’s Construction” to highlight the temperature of the city. Taking the park as an example, the evaluation can help the park learn about the inadequacies in fee admission, service management level, park facilities richness, environmental beauty, convenience facilities perfection, transportation convenience, etc., and provide reference for its refined construction and operation . In addition, Meituan takes advantage of the full business chain coverage of the life service industry of “food, lodging, travel, shopping and entertainment”. Through comprehensive and detailed data, it can not only fully present the development of the regional life service industry, but also provide a window for research in sub-fields. Taking catering as an example, in addition to understanding the overall consumption situation of the catering industry, research can also be carried out by subdividing catering categories such as hot pot, coffee, and milk tea. The “Meituan City Better Life Digital Sign System” also refers to the “Excavator Index” in the industrial field, and uses the Milk Tea Index, Coffee Index and other popular specialties in cities. The data shows that Shanghai’s coffee consumption index is 2.4 times that of 35 cities (30 provincial capitals/municipalities + 5 cities specifically designated in the national plan). Empowering city operation and management with fresh enterprise data This year, Shanghai issued opinions on comprehensively advancing the digital transformation of Shanghai’s city, and proposed strengthening system integration and overall improvement. According to Xu Huili, deputy director of the General Office of the Municipal Government and director of the Municipal Urban Transport Center, the digitalization of life and the digitalization of governance are both important parts of the digital transformation of cities, and through the exploration of professional fields, fresh enterprise data can empower city operation and management , Repeating the needs of urban citizens in daily life, has become a new force in the operation of the “one network unified management” of cities. Today, Meituan also demonstrated other explorations in the field of life services. For example, based on Meituan’s consumer review data, we will promote social co-governance of food safety. Meituan has more than 1,000 engineers working on AI, and has applied technological innovations to back kitchen monitoring, warehouse temperature control, food seal recognition, intelligent meal cabinets, unmanned delivery vehicles, and other scenarios. Support the upgrading of products and services in the field of life services through the digitalization of the offline economy. Through industrial cooperation, the further exploration of innovative solutions for food safety technology is also what Meituan has been exploring in recent years. Last year, Meituan launched the first food safety technology innovation platform activity, soliciting food safety technology innovation solutions for the whole society in warehousing, cooking and processing, takeaway delivery, dine-in dining, etc., and mobilizing more people to care about and participate in food safety governance and Industry sustainability work. “Food safety work is not just a business for an enterprise, but also requires the extensive participation of all sectors of society and all stakeholders, co-governance and sharing. Food safety work is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It is more reflected in daily food safety risk monitoring, In terms of evaluation and management,” the relevant person in charge of Meituan introduced, “Meituan has also been exploring to link industry partners to jointly sum up and precipitate good food safety management experience, and form standards and norms that the industry abides by.” “One of the basic elements of Shanghai’s urban operation’One Network Management’ is to use real-time online data to help city managers observe the society, perceive needs, and cognitive laws, so as to better meet the needs of the masses and solve problems efficiently.” Xu Huili said, After Meituan’s exploration in the life service industry is empowered by the urban transportation system, it will effectively help city managers find problems in a more timely and accurate manner, connect needs, study the situation, prevent risks, and accumulate more energy for good governance in big cities.

The grand occasion is so because this year’s 618 is a double milestone for JD.com. On the one hand, as a single-handed establishment of 618, it has developed into a mid-year festival in which all walks of life compete to participate. This year is the 18th year of JD 618. On the other hand, when “choose one of the two” has completely become a thing of the past, in this year’s 618, which has the meaning of “carrying on the past and opening up the future”, JD.com, which was once chosen one of the two, also released greater momentum and naturally assumed the role of 618. Responsibility to demonstrate new development directions. The significance is great, and the responsibilities are heavy, but as new and old players such as Tmall, Douyin, Kuaishou, and Pinduoduo are all “suffocating big moves”, JD’s pressure and challenges are not small. What’s interesting is that there could have been some vigorous big moves. JD.com, which “made a big news” for this year’s extraordinary 618, was just staring at providing businesses with a better business environment and providing consumers with a better experience. These two things are carried out step by step in a relatively low-key manner. Jingdong has changed. From a powerful platform to a low-key server; from a home game controller to a behind-the-scenes supporter. But it was in this 18-year-old JD.com “adult ceremony” that merchants became more lively and consumers were more satisfied. Merchants “before going on stage”, Jingdong “behind the scenes” This year’s JD 618 is a “show venue” entirely owned by merchants and consumers. Merchants will perform on stage with great affection, while JD.com has become a “server” behind the scenes, quietly guaranteeing the excitement of the “show”. Thus, won the constant applause of consumers on the stage. Earlier, Jingdong announced that during the 618 period, it will help more than 230 brands to achieve orders exceeding 100 million yuan. In order to achieve this goal, Jingdong, the “service provider” behind the scenes, has implemented a series of measures throughout the event, creating the lowest cost and most efficient JD 618 for merchants in history, allowing them to be the “absolute protagonist” at the year-end ceremony. Enjoy “show”. First of all, the “entry method” is simple enough, the “program presentation” is efficient enough, and the “performance environment” is fair enough. As a result, hundreds of thousands of brand merchants, 3 million offline stores, and more than 20 million people in the entire industry chain will flourish. Compared with the past, JD.com has simplified the business entry process, and can complete the entry information submission in an average of 30 minutes, which is three times faster than before. At the same time, in order to improve the operating efficiency of merchants, JD.com’s merchant back-end management tool “Jingmai” accurately matches the growth tasks for merchants of different operating levels, and allocates a variety of free rights to enhance the comprehensive operating capabilities of the store. For businesses with multiple stores, “Jingmai” can support businesses to log in at the same time. Not only that, in order to allow merchants to better welcome the 618, JD.com also specially optimized the “exclusive customer service” function, and launched a number of new functions such as batch invitations and one-click marketing message access. If merchants use them reasonably, they can provide customer service Operational efficiency is doubled, and the conversion rate of exclusive customer service reach is increased by 10%. After ensuring the simplicity and efficiency of the 618 “stage”, “fairness” needs to be taken into account. Through systems such as “Hubao Hammer” and “Jingying Insurance”, JD.com can thoroughly investigate and clean up high-risk stores through risk management and control measures, and promptly and effectively stop malicious behaviors from intruding on store operations, and escort merchants across the platform. At present, JD.com “Hubaohammer” has escorted more than 40 billion brands, and “Jingyingbao” has helped businesses avoid losses of more than 1.2 billion yuan from January to April 2021 alone. When JD.com has set up a sufficiently attractive 618 “stage”, there will be hundreds of thousands of brand merchants, 3 million offline stores, and more than 20 million people performing on the same stage in the entire industry chain. During the 618 period of JD.com alone, over 30,000 new brands/new stores appeared on JD.com, and nearly 2.44 million new products were launched on JD.com. Among them, a large number of cutting-edge fast-moving brands, industry-leading brands such as Yuanqi Forest, Li Ziqi, Guanyun, Sandunban, and Sanban, have opened official flagship stores on JD.com. Secondly, with both “performance guidance” and “program rewards”, JD 618 has become the “largest incremental field” for businesses and industries. In today’s consumer era where channels have become infinitely dusty, no matter how fragrant the wine is, one is afraid of the depths of the alleys, and no matter how good the “performance” is, the audience is afraid of stunned. In order to attract the attention of consumers to the greatest extent, JD.com “Jing Zhuntong” launched the “Beijing Speed ​​Push” minimalist advertising model, deployed “new/new products/explosive products” scene-based advertising, and revised and upgraded “JD Direct Investment”. Measures such as these have greatly improved the efficiency of business advertising operations and helped stores efficiently attract traffic. At the same time, during the 618 period, JD.com launched the “Qianmo-omni-channel marketing incentive plan”. In addition to supporting brands and merchants in business scenarios such as CPS, Jingzhantong Advertising, and Donglian Plan, the brand also purchased advertising resources independently outside the station. After JD.com reaches the policy threshold, a single brand can also receive virtual gold rewards of up to 1 million and traffic rewards of up to 3 million UVs. In addition, the JD Live Broadcasting Base number also vigorously supported industry belt merchants during the 618 period, focusing on “good source” IP live broadcast, helping over 100 industry belt products for brand promotion and product sales. Judging from the official JD.com battle report, on June 1st, the “good start” of the whole day, more than 60% of the core store orders have increased by more than 100% year-on-year, major brand merchants are ushering in explosive growth, JD has become the brand merchants Maximum incremental field”. In addition, the performance of the new stores is very impressive. The average single-store turnover of the core stores settled in this year during JD 618 is 4.3 times the average single-store turnover of the core stores settled last year during the 618 period of that year. Finally, the “reserve force” is sufficient, and JD.com is helping the merchants with their wonderful and long-term “performance”. Unlike daily activities, 618 is a carnival involving all citizens. Although the turnover of merchants will increase explosively, at the same time, for many merchants, especially small and medium-sized merchants, there will be a certain amount of financial pressure to prepare sufficient goods in advance. In order to help merchants alleviate the pressure on liquidity of funds, JD.com’s financial products such as Jingxiaodai and Jingbaobei have allowed businesses to stock up and expand their operations without worry. For example, Beijing Microloan products launched a number of activities such as special withdrawals and interest rate discounts for merchants on the Jingdong platform during the 618 period, providing merchants with more than 250,000 funds and special withdrawals exceeding 1 billion yuan. Since the launch of 618, JD has provided more than 200 billion yuan in financial support to 300,000 online and offline small, medium and micro enterprises, providing them with strong capital guarantee for stocking and replenishment, and helping businesses achieve growth. From creating a simple, efficient, fair and transparent operating environment, to reducing costs and increasing efficiency with precise traffic support and marketing rewards, to reducing the pressure on merchants to stock up funds through financial support, and eliminating worries, one measure is implemented to users When experiencing with merchants, JD.com, which returned to the back of the scene, showed even more the light of a “service provider”. *The pictures in this article are all from the Internet

At present, the first batch of cooperative research directions have phased research and development results, and they are advancing towards the goal of industrialization.

My father’s childhood was spent wandering around the countryside. The game with them is simply fighting, confetti, chicken grass, playing cards, fighting ticks, piggybacking, land cannons, river bathing, fish foul… More naughty, dad followed us to pick grapefruit, guava, baked potatoes, peanuts to eat. In the countryside, the older children teach the children to swim. The beaches, banks, and fields are deeply imprinted in my mind, until now, every time I have the opportunity to pass by, all the memories keep coming back. Children’s childhoods do not know if they are lucky or unlucky, there are no more popular games (adults still say that children now have no childhood). It has been replaced by Online Games, Tiktok, Facebook… Although there is a direction for children to explore, it is certainly in a different, very different direction! I hope that because of that, your hearts are poor in the ability to feel. Every time I go back to my grandmother, in the vast fields, in the windy afternoons, I hope that you are sharp enough to feel a little country spirit, even if only through the prism of children’s eyes. If possible, at some point, you should take off your sandals and wade into the mud with your bare feet to try to catch snails and crabs… I hope you feel a little country spirit… I just want your hearts to be nourished by simple, rustic but sincere things, not the hustle and bustle of life! The rest, when born, life will teach you. Just prepare your mind and accept it, everything will be fine, baby!

In the field of Dong Ban village, Dong Thai commune, Ba Vi district, Hanoi city, 72-year-old Mrs. Phung Thi Huong is hastily harvesting the first fields of the crop. According to her, two-thirds of her life is spent in the fields, more than at home. For Ms. Huong, the field is a blood bond, a homeland, not just an economy She shared that now her children go to the city to do business, in the house and only she is a farmer attached to the fields and gardens. In the past, her family did a lot of work, sometimes 2-3 acres, but recently because of her old age and no one to take care of her, she only kept 3 sao of field for convenience. “In these fields, I alone take care of fertilizers from the beginning of the crop until now. When will the harvested rice come home, you will be assured. Every time the harvest came, the children on the street came back to help until it was finished. This year, the rice harvest is better, from 2 to 2.5 quintals per acre,” shared Huong. My conversation with Mrs. Huong was interrupted by the sound of a large harvester According to the farmers, in the past, there were no harvesters, so the people also worked hard and had to hire laborers to reap. Some houses have to hire more than 10 workers, each 300-400 thousand VND/day. Now, having a harvester is also less difficult, only having to spend 150-170 thousand VND / one pole of field to be able to carry rice home During the harvest time, the fields are always filled with laughter and laughter, accompanied by the sound of mowers. At these times, there are 2 to 3 rice harvesters in the fields. Mr. Nguyen Van Tu, owner of a harvester, shared that he also left his hometown to go to the city to do business in the past. However, after a while in business but no progress, he returned to his hometown and invested in agricultural services. When asked about the income from the harvester, Mr. Tu shared: “During the harvest season, my partner and I go around the fields to harvest rice for our relatives, sometimes up to Thai Nguyen. Each pole of rice is from 150 to 170 thousand VND, in some crops, my relatives lost revenue, I only took 130,000 VND.” The rice fields are as golden as a picture woven from stretchable golden rice grains. This year is a good season, so everyone has a smile on their lips, even though they have to work under the hot summer sun. This is probably the happiest time of the village. As soon as she quickly tied the bag of newly harvested rice, Phuong shared: “In order to save labor, the family had to go to the field from 5am to 9am to avoid the hot midday weather.” “The heat makes harvesting difficult, because my field is located in the middle of the field, so the process of transporting rice home is more “hard” than other houses,” said Huy, Phuong’s husband. People here take advantage of all means to move rice home as quickly as possible, from rickshaws, motorbikes, or even electric bicycles being used as means of transportation. Many families take advantage of the reaper at night to both ensure the harvest and avoid the harsh summer heat.

Tam Coc is located in the famous Trang An landscape complex. With a system of caves, limestone mountains, beautiful wet rice fields, this place is likened to Ha Long Bay on land and is an eco-tourism area in the true sense of the northern village. (Photo: Didauvui) The light sunshine stretching over the golden fields makes the whole Tam Coc mountain area brighten up with a poetic look, making people not only “full of eyes” but also feel satisfied with all the senses. Here, the rice fields will ripen in late May and early June in a two-week period. That is the time when visitors will be able to see the most “beautiful yellow” of the year in the most beautiful rice fields in Vietnam. (Photo: Didauvui) Tam Coc means three caves: Ca cave, Hai cave and Ba cave. All three caves are formed by the flow of rivers because the rocks in this area are limestone mountains. Ca Cave is 127m long, through a large mountain, and the mouth of the cave is over 20m wide. In the cave, the climate is cool and humid and there are many stalactites hanging down with many shapes. Bich Dong means “green cave” located 2 km from Tam Coc wharf. This is one of the landscapes in the group that the ancients called “Nam Thien De Nhi Dong”, the second most beautiful cave in the South. (Photo: @the1swhowander) From Van Lam wharf, travelers can travel the scenery around Tam Coc, watching the small houses along the river and caves. The peaceful Ngo Dong River meanders between golden rice fields on one side and wild and majestic rocky mountains on the other, creating a peaceful and romantic picture of the countryside. (Photo: Khong Giang) (Photo: Khong Giang) Looking at eye level, the rice field is like an endless stretch of silk, every time the boat glides back and forth, it flutters with each wave. But perhaps to admire all the beauty of this golden season, standing on high is the most ideal choice. From the top of the mountain, the beauty of the ripe rice fields seems to be multiplied many times. Rice bends along the Ngo Dong river with soft bends, and in the distance are undulating mountain ranges. In the middle of the stream are boats carrying gold particles… It’s an impressive moment that anyone who has ever been to can never forget. (Photo: Thai Phong Gallery) The scenery here in the ripe rice crop brings a feeling of light relaxation, you will feel that you can temporarily let go of the chaos of life and breathe in the fresh air. On an early summer morning with clear, cool weather, what could be better than flicking the oars to listen in the deepest ear to the silence of space, the sound of waves crashing on the side of the boat, the singing of birds and the sound of birdsong? Take the vision to follow the stream of water reflecting the vast green mountains and clouds, immersing yourself in the rustic and pristine nature.

Yellow apple snail appears in high density and damages summer-autumn rice. Mr. Le Xuan Tu, Director of the Sub-Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection said that the yellow apple snail harms the newly sown rice stage, greatly affecting the growth and development of rice plants, if high density can make 100% loss of trees in the field. In order to minimize the damage caused by yellow apple snail, farmers need to apply a combination of manual measures and chemical measures to increase the effectiveness of killing snails. When the density of snails is high, snails are small, in order to thoroughly limit harmful yellow apple snails, people use drugs with active ingredients, such as Metaldehyde, Niclosamide to eradicate. Dosage according to the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. People should note that when using the drug, it is necessary to maintain the water level from 3-5cm to prevent high efficiency; Spray in the early morning or late afternoon because this is the time when snails are most active. Pesticides to prevent snails are often toxic to aquatic animals, so they should only be used when the snail density is high, avoiding use in rice and fish fields. In addition, other objects are causing harm with an increasing trend, such as: rats harming 71.2 hectares, leaf rollers 60 hectares, acacia caterpillars 50.2 hectares, thrips 36 hectares…. The Sub-department recommends that farmers keep a close eye on the fields, closely monitor the situation of harmful effects, proactively implement timely and effective prevention measures.

A day of salt farmers in An Hoa commune (Quynh Luu district, Nghe An) begins at dawn, when the first rays of the new day are still shy behind the roofs. Groups of people wearing conical hats, carrying light burdens on their shoulders, and carrying locusts in their hands rushed to the salt fields. From about 6 to 10 am, when the sun is not too strong, people mainly just work the soil and water the salt fields. The harvest usually takes place in the afternoon, from 12 noon onwards, when the sun rises at noon. “Chicken egg yolk” shines through the morning dew, signaling a new day. Silhouette of a woman diligently working in the morning sunlight reflected in the clear salt fields. Salt occupation is associated with long fields, full of sunshine and salty sweat. The square salt fields, reflecting the sparkling morning sun, create a beautiful scene. At different times of the day, the salt field is beautiful in different angles, full of lyricism and nostalgia. The dawn on the salt field has a rustic and idyllic beauty that is so attractive. Over 60 years of work, Ms. Phan Thi Chinh (77 years old) is very familiar with this place. Although her children have all looked for other jobs, she still sticks to the profession alone. For Mrs. Chinh, the salty taste of the sea or the hot sun of the sky has “soaked” ever since. “This job is so hard! The sun is hot, people are in the shade, and we have to go out to dry, almost no time to rest. It’s hard work, it’s hard work, but the income is not much, just enough to live through the day”, Ms. Chinh confided. In that hardship, she still smiled beautifully. For generations, the salt people of An Hoa have attached their lives to the grain of salt, despite many hardships and bitterness.

“In what beautiful dress with lotus. Green leaves, white flowers, and yellow stamens …”, the folk song said the beauty of the lotus flower – a flower that always shows off its bright colors. In Vietnam, the lotus is considered the national flower and carries many profound humanistic symbolic meanings. The image of the lotus flower is associated with the life of Vietnamese people. Photo: Nguyen Chi Khanh. Tra Ly lotus dress belongs to Duy Son commune, Duy Xuyen district, Quang Nam province. This is a wild mountainous commune, quite few people live. Unlike other lotus lagoons, this place is almost untouched and natural when very few people know about it. Image: Nddpol. Tra Ly is considered the largest lotus lagoon in Quang Nam. The place is impressed by one side is the fragrant field of young rice, on the other is the magnificent mountain range, lost in the lotus forest, many tourists are attracted by this charming beauty. Photo: Nguyen Chi Khanh. The pink color of lotus petals, yellow stamens, green calyx, with the majestic young water and the full sun in a corner of the sky are endless inspiration captured by photographer Nguyen Chi Khanh through his photos.

Lotus flowers bloom most brilliantly from April to July every year, so if you can’t visit Tra Ly at the moment to see lotus flowers and take pictures with them, don’t worry. When the epidemic season is over, we can still see the lotus flowers at the end of the season with a more loving beauty. Photo: Nguyen Chi Khanh.

Straw was piled up and burned by people, causing smoldering smoke to spread everywhere, spreading to the highway. Photo: Le Phu/ Newspaper As part of the series of events “Air pollution and our responsibilities”, the Science and Development Newspaper of Spark Magazine in collaboration with the Center for Living and Learning for the environment, the community (Live and Learn), the Internet. The Vietnam Clean Air Network (VCAP) organized an online seminar on the topic “Straw burning: Don’t waste gold and lessons from the community”. This is an opportunity for experts and businesses to share about applying local solutions to reuse straw, the challenges faced when completely ending burning straw in the field. Master Nguyen Thi Yen, Department of Agricultural Microbiology, Center for Organic Agriculture (Vietnam Agricultural Academy) said: In the winter-spring crop of 2021, there are at least 6 suburban districts of Hanoi (Soc Son, Dan Phuong) , Thanh Oai, Chuong My, Dong Anh, Ba Vi) with more than 1,000 hectares of fields applying straw treatment solutions to replace burning. Activities such as training the core group of farmers; deploying communication through online and group channels; technical guidance, practice handling solutions; Budget support for localities, cooperatives, farmers to access probiotics or collect straw has been implemented… Since then, many models and initiatives have been encouraged to be implemented such as: Association Women in Soc Son district process rice straw into organic fertilizer, Dan Phuong District Farmers’ Union distributes bio-products, Ba Vi district farmers collect straw and mill straw to make fodder for cattle… Ms. Truong Thi Thanh Nhan, Vice Chairwoman of the Women’s Union of Soc Son district, said that the collection of recycled straw into microbial fertilizer was implemented in Duc Hoa and Xuan Thu communes. In addition to propaganda to raise awareness for farmers, the District Women’s Union also helps households collect rice straw and compost 60 mounds (2 quintals of straw/mound), process it into micro-fertilizer, contributing to reducing reduce the burning of straw. Mr. Nguyen Tuong Hung, Director of Pho Hien Machine Co., Ltd. shared that the company is currently processing rice straw by using a straw roll machine in combination with a local plow to collect straw; technical support and consumption of the output straw. The advantage of the straw rolling machine is that it has a reasonable price, only about 5-10 million / machine. Harvest time is from 1-2 days after reaping and before plowing, yield from 1.5-3 ha/shift/hour. The straw roll has a diameter of 50cm, a width of 70cm, weighs from 12-14 kg, easy to carry, transport… At the seminar, the speakers and businesses answered some questions from readers related to the reuse of straw. The experts discussed and proposed some solutions using different technologies to continue using rice straw, increasing the value of straw in agriculture; can be applied from large scale for enterprises, cooperatives to small farmers. According to statistics from the Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment, it is estimated that each year, the city generates over 1 million tons of rice straw and agricultural by-products. In which, the amount of straw burned in the field is about 352,000 tons (accounting for 33.7%). The burning of rice straw produces CO gas – a very toxic gas that can be deadly, and at the same time causes smoke and dust affecting road and air traffic safety in the area. In addition, according to experts, the nutrient content in straw ash is very low, so it has no effect on soil improvement.

EU authority More Piracy in the pandemic

As of: June 8th, 2021 9:10 a.m.

Counterfeit clothing, electronics, cosmetics: According to the EU, product piracy has increased during the pandemic. Recently, counterfeits have been causing problems, especially in the medical field. From Oliver Neuroth, ARD studio Madrid The pandemic has created a huge new market, says Paul Maier, director of the European Observatory on Intellectual Property Infringements. The market for personal corona protective equipment: masks, rapid tests, disinfectants. “We were in a situation in which the industry was not immediately able to create these products in the volume that was necessary for the market. The counterfeiters are incredibly fast.” Just a few days after the lack of good protective masks became apparent last spring, there were tons of offers from China. However, these products, which at first glance appeared to be suitable, turned out to be unusable shortly afterwards because they did not comply with European guidelines. “These people are not the kind of ‘easy criminals’ who are not very dangerous. They belong to the very worst. That also explains why these people were able to react so quickly and in such an organized manner,” says Maier.

Plagiarism worth 120 billion euros

The most common counterfeits include electronics, clothing, toys and cosmetics. In the past year, plagiarism made up almost seven percent of all imports into the EU; it involves goods worth more than 120 billion euros. A good three quarters of the counterfeits came from China. The pandemic also made it easier for product pirates to use their distribution channels, says Maier from the EU Intellectual Property Office. Online retail has been booming for more than a year, with fewer people shopping in stores. “When you hold a fake in your hand, you usually notice straight away: ‘That can’t be the quality I know!’ You don’t see that on the Internet because the counterfeit sellers use the real photographs, “explains Maier. The original product is shown, but a plagiarism is then sent.

Every third person had doubts about the authenticity of a product

Every third consumer in Europe had, according to one study of the EU Office for Intellectual Property when shopping online, doubts whether it is an original or a fake. One in ten says that they have accidentally bought a plagiarism. The expert of the EU authority recommends consumers to buy online only in “Trusted Shops” if possible. And to check that the website has an “https” address, which is considered more secure than the classic “http” pages. Maier also advises buying drugs only from licensed internet pharmacies and never from other sites. Because the network is full of counterfeit medicines. Ingestion can be dangerous. “There is nothing easier to imitate than a pill. You can squeeze it yourself – what is in it, of course, is important. And no consumer can see that.” Counterfeit drugs either contained no active ingredient at all, an incorrectly dosed or even toxic substance.

“Endless Fight”

Finding out who is responsible for plagiarism is extremely difficult, says the expert. “It’s probably a never-ending fight. But you have to fight it.” The EU wants to take more decisive action against product piracy. A few days ago, the Council of Ministers made the fight against organized crime a priority for the next few years. Above all, it is about Internet crime, which also includes counterfeit products.

In the opening match of the Euro 2020 campaign against Scotland, Patrik Schick was the brightest name. He opened the scoring as well as sealed a 2-0 victory with a masterpiece for the Czech Republic.

In a number of times when wearing polo or tank top, Schick makes many fans excited with his toned body – essential for strikers. In some photos posted during outings with his wife, he mainly chooses T-shirts or polos. Photo: P_schicky. Patrik Schick currently plays as a forward for Bayer Leverkusen. England is seen as the hope of the Czech Republic at this year’s Euro. With 3 points won against Scotland, Schick’s team is holding a pretty big advantage in a “difficult” group with England and Croatia. Photo: Blackwhitereaders.

I am the child of the field. Dozens of generations, both paternal and maternal, are farmers and live in the countryside. Honestly, I don’t feel proud or honored with that cultivated background. Farming is like trading, making salt, cutting firewood, fishing, working as a worker… that’s all. My grandparents and parents were not landowners, but they were also not part of the poor peasantry, so I don’t know how good that part is. But it’s definitely hard work, no one wants to. Running to eat every meal, many people do not have a piece of land to place coffins. It is different from the old poor peasants and proletarians of today. Full cover with super cars, play with enough fingers. As a journalist living in the countryside, I’m sure, in my hometown, 100% of the farming families who work in agriculture have food and property to escape poverty, that family must have a part-time job. other extremes: trading, working as a worker, buying aluminum and plastic waste, trading with the highlanders, or at least knocking noodles or “needle” as far as Saigon. Each worker only has an average of 300m2 of land (a few decades ago), now rescue melons, tomorrow rescue chili. Clean cut sugarcane planting cassava. Tapioca tubers are sometimes several thousand a kilogram. Rich is rich how? About the same size as Doan Nguyen Duc, he went to Laos to grow sugarcane, but his face fell. Yes, dream! In the rural areas, if they are not classified as “having money”, they are also in the category of poor people who are hungry and hungry, which are the following: teachers, healers, local teachers, fortune-tellers, traders of cows, sellers of pig bran, and maters. pig spirit… and so on. And retired, like me. Ah, forgot, commune officials too. I’m a rural person, have a garden, have a field, what do I do if I’m not a farmer? It’s not like day after day playing chess, drinking alcohol, carrying a camera around. Writing sloppy, sloppy poetry doesn’t mean anything. Write a newspaper and your children won the job. Research is “a late-night affair”, often tearing up work. Well, let’s do the gardening so that the little ones can snap clean vegetables in their meals. A little more, bring relatives, friends. Looking for flowers to plant in the yard, watching butterflies in the morning is the momentum, also like. In the afternoon, I went to the yard to water the plants with my grandchildren. After watering, take a shower and then eat rice, feel cool and gentle. But gentlemen, don’t think farming is easy. During my life, my father said; “Farming is a profession that everyone can do, but not everyone becomes a good farmer.” Nowadays, that is even more true. No matter how diligent and experienced a farmer is, he lacks knowledge about climate, organisms, soil, livestock, plants, varieties, markets, consumer habits, etc., how can it be called knowing? farming. My classmate in elementary school, living in the same village, came to my house to visit, saw me nursing melons, reminded me: When melons are about 1 meter up, you roll them into the ground again and then let them crawl on that rig. I pretended to ask: – What are you? – He is a real desk man. Scroll down to increase the rooting while saving the truss space. At this point, I burst out laughing, but said: Very outdated, sir. This melon crawls up about 1 meter to flower and bud. Crawling on corn stalks, harvested chilli stalks. I plant, choose only 1 fruit each wire. Listen to this, my friend has O eyes, A mouth, looks too funny. In the past, even though I was a wage earner on the street, I was still one of the best rice sowers in An Khanh hamlet, growing pumpkins (pumpkin), squash, papaya, and everyone in My Yen village. love. When I retired and returned to farming, thanks to the help of my brother of many hybrids Luong Van Minh Dao, I became one of the very few people (sometimes the only one who didn’t play!) who planted the seeds. The first ST24, ST25 (world famous delicious) rice in Quang Ngai, yield is not inferior to any other rice variety. Anyone who wants to try to know how delicious this variety is, please come to my house. The house has stock goby with pepper stock. Water spinach ball oil cake also. More wine. Tasty and bold. I wrote these lines while out in the field. Yesterday, we cleared the field at dusk, sowed the rice at dusk. This morning I went to the field to look again. Seo a few puffs to worship. Wash hands, face, face, go to the mother’s house to burn incense for the father, water the plants. Going to the wife’s house to burn incense for her father-in-law, mother-in-law and wife. Then back. That’s it. Try to add a few more life terms for fame. This life is so cheap! My Yen hamlet, last day of May, year twenty-one Refer to the newspaper Labor: The miracle of Vietnamese rice “After only 14 years, Vietnam has surprised and admired the world when it rose from a starving country to become one of the rice exporting powers. Especially in recent years, Vietnamese rice has continuously been at the top of the world’s best rice contest. It is a miracle created by Vietnam”. Nguyen Quoc Toan – Director of the Department of Agricultural Product Processing and Market Development (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) – said: Rice export output in 11 months of 2020 reached 5.4 million tons, worth about 2.85 billion USD. . In the rice export category of Vietnam in recent years, the export value of white rice accounted for about 40.3% of the total rice export turnover, Jasmin rice and fragrant rice accounted for about 37%, glutinous rice accounted for about 17.6% remaining. Japonica rice and Japanese rice varieties account for nearly 4.5%. “Farmers and production enterprises have focused deeply on quality, not on quantity; Right at this Winter-Spring crop 2020-2021, in the large fields associated with Trung An Hi-tech Agriculture Joint Stock Company in the provinces and cities in the Mekong Delta region are sowing seeds, the company has completely eliminated plant protection drugs. ) with chemicals out of the field on a large scale, supported and accompanied by farmers, the agricultural sector, local authorities and consumers. Vietnamese farmers are the main force contributing to that miracle!

Burning rice straw often does not burn into flames, so there are many harmful gases in the smoke such as CO, CO2, SO2, NO2. Exhaust all toxic gas In 2020, the Hanoi People’s Committee issued Directive No. 15/CT-UBND on strengthening state management measures for the illegal burning of straw, crop by-products and other wastes in order to minimize the negative impact on the city environment. Prof. Dr. Hoang Xuan Co, Hanoi National University, said that now there are many researches and solutions to treat rice straw and limit post-harvest burning. However, the solutions need to be thoroughly researched, scientific and feasible. To solve the problem that needs to be studied to the end, we have had many studies such as converting tablets to burn, making mushrooms, and making manure. But the most basic is how to organize, where is the funding? Accordingly, from January 1, 2021, 100% of rice straw and crop by-products generated will be collected, reused or treated to meet environmental technical requirements; No more burning of straw, crop by-products and domestic solid waste in contravention of regulations in the city. However, at the beginning of June is the spring rice harvest of 2021, in many fields of the city, farmers continue to repeat the situation of burning straw. Typically in Soc Son district, people in communes: Phu Lo, Mai Dinh, Phu Cuong, Thanh Xuan, Tien Duoc… burn rice straw near Noi Bai International Airport, affecting the visibility of aircraft when taking off. , landing. Every year, the Northern Airport Authority must send an official dispatch to Soc Son district to take measures to prevent this situation. The Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment said that the rate of burning straw in the spring crop is about 20%, higher than that of the crop. However, the actual number in districts is much larger such as: Thuong Tin, Thanh Oai accounted for 50%, Thach That 45%, Chuong My 37%, Thanh Tri 33%, Me Linh 30%, Soc Son 25. %… This situation not only causes traffic insecurity but also creates dust, smoke, greenhouse gas emissions, heat causing serious environmental pollution… Environmental experts analyze, burning rice straw often does not burn. As a result, the smoke contains many small dust particles and produces many harmful gases such as CO, CO2, SO2, NO2, affecting people’s health and increasing air pollution in the burning area as well as in the burning area. surrounding areas. Let straw not be a burden to the environment Prof. Dr. Pham Van Toan, Deputy Director of the Vietnam Institute of Agricultural Sciences (VAAS), shared that in the past, rice straw was considered a multi-purpose by-product for Vietnamese farmers (using for cooking, roofing, animal feed, etc.). But when the farming industry thrives, rice production is increasing, the annual source of rice straw generated in Vietnam is very large (estimated at about 50 million tons/year), then the straw is redundant and becomes waste to be treated. According to the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Vietnam currently burns more than 20 million tons of rice straw each year. Many localities have promoted the application of mechanization (straw roll machine) in the collection and transportation of straw. It is recommended that the application of biological products to treat rice straw after harvest into organic fertilizer for agriculture, contributing to minimizing environmental pollution. Facing the uncontrolled burning of straw in suburban districts, in the two years 2017 – 2018, Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment introduced to 19 districts in the city a model of using bio-products. Learn to process rice straw into organic fertilizer, and at the same time support 50% of the cost of probiotics for farmers. Dan Phuong district (Hanoi) has an area of ​​​​about 2,500 hectares of rice cultivation. Every year, it has to process 37.5 thousand tons of rice straw and agricultural by-products. After 3 years of implementing the model “Field without burning straw”, using biological products to compost straw into organic fertilizer in 9 communes for growing crops, until now, the situation of burning straw The field is almost nonexistent. According to Mr. Thieu Van Son – Chairman of Dan Phuong District Farmers’ Association, this solution brings “dual” benefits of both improving crop productivity and protecting people’s health. But unfortunately, after a short pilot period and narrow scope, the project ended, the localities were not interested in communicating about the long-term benefits to farmers, so the straw returned to the reluctant treatment. is dried, burned. Strictly handle the act of burning straw in violation of regulations The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has just sent a written request to the People’s Committees of the provinces and cities to direct the Departments of Natural Resources and Environment, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Department of Information and Communications, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism; People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities organize propaganda and mobilization to prevent people from spontaneously burning waste, burning rice straw and agricultural by-products after harvesting crops; assigned Farmers and Women’s Unions, Youth Union to organize for members, union members and farmer households to sign a commitment not to burn rice straw in the field. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment also suggested that provinces and cities need to develop projects and tasks to guide farmers to implement measures to maximize collection, treatment and thorough processing of by-products, post-harvested rice straw into useful products. At the same time, direct the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the Environmental Police, and local authorities at district, ward, and commune levels to strengthen inspection and strictly handle the improper burning of waste and agricultural by-products after harvest; direct Traffic Inspectors and Traffic Police to inspect and strictly handle vehicles carrying soil, stones, construction materials, and daily-life solid waste that are not covered, causing environmental pollution.

Only about 45 minutes by car from Hanoi capital, life in Kim Long commune, Tam Duong district, Vinh Phuc province still retains the rustic beauty, keeping the character of the old village of the North. When the harvest comes, the rice is fully ripe and spreads all over the countryside. The farmer wears the hot sun and wind of a summer day, reaping the fruits of nearly 3 months of labor. In the past two years, when the mechanization of agriculture came to the villages, the image of harvesters appeared in the fields. But in the village of Tam Duong, farmers still reap rice with ox carts. Most of the people in Kim Long commune are engaged in agriculture, and their year-round life is associated with fields. Returning to the village is like returning to our national roots, living in a peaceful and deep space, inhaling the scent of ripe rice with cool breezes. After the rice is harvested, the field is left with dried stubble. In the traditional way, people burn rice straw – both to clean the field, kill the germs of pests and diseases, and as a source of nutritious fertilizer for the next crop. The columns of smoke kept soaring, spreading throughout the space and blending into the sky. Having been born in the village, when going out, no one can not miss the taste of the village, the busy atmosphere of the harvest and the leisurely afternoons watching the vast fields. The sun gradually disappears behind the bamboo groves, the farmer gathers up his farm tools, rests on the side of the field, enjoys the cool breezes that dispel all his worries. Another crop has passed. When the evening light falls, it is also time to gather around a cozy tray of rice, rest after a day of hard work and talk about a crop.

The ministry said five data center companies, Naver Cloud, Douzone Bizon, Kakao Enterprise, NHN and KT, along with the Artificial Intelligence Industry Cluster Agency, signed a memorandum of understanding with Korean server chip companies SK Telecom, Rebellions, FuriosaAI, and Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute to expand the use of products Semiconductor domestically produced artificial intelligence (AI) in data centers. Demand for AI semiconductor products from data center operators has been increasing in recent times. These companies need chips to process large volumes of data efficiently. Ministry of Science and Technology Information – Korean media predicts that the global server AI chip market will grow from $3.5 billion in 2020 to $34.7 billion in 2030. Under the aforementioned agreement, the companies will also cooperate on chip development, as well as pursue plans to establish a semiconductor test environment at an AI industry complex in Gwangju, 329 kilometers south of Seoul. The ministry said it would support the cooperation plan of the company and hope that this agreement will boost the semiconductor industry of Korea in the context of a recent global supply shortage.

Not only in North America, Australian farmers also have a headache with these two invasive plants known as super weeds. Photo: Civileats Recent studies have shown that Waterhemp and Palmer amaranth weeds threaten the food supply in North America and are increasingly resistant to herbicides, costing farmers a lot, especially by reducing yield and crop profitability. The results of the study showed that the broadleaf weeds Waterhemp and Palmer amaranth, which damage corn and soybeans in the Midwest of the United States, once caused yield losses of 40 to 70%. Accordingly, Bayer Crop Science has announced a new herbicide, expected to be released by the middle of this decade to help soybean and corn farmers combat weed problems, in particular two Dangerous invasive plants are Waterhemp and Palmer amaranth. Accordingly, the research and development of a new herbicide line Diflufenican will be introduced under the brand name Convintro. While it awaits approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Convintro products will be made available to soybean growers for use in post-ripening and pre-ripening applications. germination. Officials from the German chemical group also revealed that the new line of herbicides will also serve as a weed control tool for corn farmers. “Diflufenican has been used for many years in Europe and has demonstrated its ability to manage broad-leaved weeds in crops such as,” said Robert Schrick, Bayer’s crop protection product business lead lentils and winter cereals”. “The addition of a new product Diflufenican as the active ingredient for use in soybeans and corn is not only a first in North America, but also a new field of use for the two crops. Dangerous invasive weeds are Palmer amaranth and Waterhemp to protect soybean and corn fields. Accordingly, we will provide farmers with one more tool to add to their weed management plans,” said Robert Schrick at the press conference. Dwight Lingenfelter, an agricultural extension collaborator in the United States, stands next to a tall weed in a cornfield. Photo: PENN STATE Although the introduction of Diflufenican promises to help soybean farmers manage weeds and regain yield, Schrick says a balanced pest management approach is still the right way. “When it comes to weed management, the best approach is still an integrated, multi-site approach. Management plans that cover many years and a variety of crops will help farmers avoid problems like resistance,” said Mr. “Effective options for integrated weed management are a necessity,” said Frank Rittemann, Bayer Brand Manager for herbicide lines that damage corn, soybeans and cotton. We’re looking at chemicals that control some of the most challenging pests for farmers, and we’re relying on science to bring the best options to market, including in locations never before seen. previously exploited”. The Bayer research team continues to explore expanding opportunities to address today’s challenges and drive new innovations for our customers. “While there may be no silver bullet, our focus on crop protection will provide relentless advancements to add new tools where farmers need them,” said Mr. Rittemann. it’s the best”. Male (left) and female (right) Waterhemp weeds bloom in purple-red flowers in a soybean field in Chatham-Kent County, Ontario, Canada. Photo: fieldcropnews Earlier in a study published in the journal Weed Science , researchers from the University of Illinois (USA) have identified genetic markers that distinguish the male weed Waterhemp and the female weed Palmer amaranth. This milestone is seen as a new approach to genetics that may one day reduce the need for chemical drugs to control weeds. The researchers’ goal is to one day introduce genetically modified male plants to mate with wild female plants. The transgenic male plants will carry the gene drive (a technique to induce inheritance that favors specific genes to alter the population as a whole), a segment of DNA coding for masculinity will be passed on to all. its offspring and so on. Eventually, all plants in a given population will become male, reproduction will cease and the grass population will be destroyed.

Busy images of boats carrying fruits, food, morning coffee… are imprinted in the hearts of tourists.

Just then, the sky was already dark. Cool wind blows. The rain has come. At first, it was just a couple of tiny seeds that fell and probed on the tile roof and brick yard. Then, as if excited to find a place to water and bathe, the rain began to fall stronger with full of joy and cheer. The rain fell heavily, as if standing at the foot of some large waterfall. But the water there kept flowing non-stop, bumping constantly against the rocks at the foot of the waterfall, creating continuous rumbling sounds. The whole family stood on the porch, mom looked around the yard to see if there was anything left. The tabby cat ran around fearfully, rubbing its back against the pillar, occasionally peering out into the rain. At this time, I understood my father’s actions when removing the rain gutter from the eaves to the tank. Pouring down the trough from the porch to the yard is a gray-brown turbid water that cannot be used for drinking water. That’s because the first rain of the season has pulled out all the dust that has been stuck on the roof for a long time and poured it down. But not only on the roof, outside, the rain also silently cleanses the fences, pomelo trees, jackfruit trees, longan trees… It cleans and coats everything with a new glaze, making everything bright. , green as if being revived with a new color. Along with the tumultuous sound was the smell of the earth. On summer days, the land is exposed to the sun. The squiggly cracks in the ground were getting wider and wider. The space was stuffy, pressing the ground with burning breaths. Suddenly, the rain fell, and the water flooded into the cracks that penetrated deep into the ground. And then the water pushed back from the underground to the strong smell, the throne filled the space. It is the rustic scent of the earth when receiving the first rain of the season. When it rained, my mother took advantage of the time to bring household items to clean. Lurking on the porch are pots of all sizes, copper trays, jars, jars… Catching rainwater flowing into the pan, mother used a handful of loofah to carefully scrub it. Wherever you hold a loofah in your mother’s hand, there will be a shiny saucepan. At the same time, my father was sitting at the table drinking water in the house. He returned the pipe tobacco and put it in the bowl. The firelight from the flickering firelight illuminated the austere face that had been tinged with time. In the thin smoke, Dad discussed with his mother that he would dig up the ground in the garden tomorrow. After the rain, the softer soil is also a good time to think about the cool green vegetable beds in the summer. Then the rain also began to ease on the porch, the sky was twilight and half-light. The yard of the house now only remains with clear puddles of water, reflecting shapes and plants. The first rain of the season passed, leaving clear colors, adding life to all things. Whose kitchen started to burn, the space returned to a peaceful look, but the fresh aftertaste of the first rain of the season was still intact in the simple folds.

Eel farming according to new model. (Photo: Anh Tuyet/VNA) Farmers in Can Tho city are very excited because intensive farming of field eels using water circulation technology has helped them stabilize their livelihoods and get rich with typical products. This is a research achievement that has been implemented into reality by scientists of the Can Tho University . Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Thanh Liem, Head of the Department of Freshwater Aquaculture Technology, Can Tho University, Head of the project, shared from the fact that eel farming households in Can Tho are implementing two projects. farming, with soil and without soil with plant media or bamboo/nylon blisters all have limitations. Because, for the farming model with land, the stocking stock is large in size, often using natural seed, the food used is trash fish or homemade food, low density, eels hiding in the mud become a hindrance in the management of feed and health of farmed eels. In landless farming model , if it is an eel obtained from the wild, the growth and yield are lower than the land culture model. The rate of water change in both farming methods ranges from 1-1.3 times/day with 100% fresh water. Both of the above methods give low eel farming productivity of less than 10kg/m2. If the stocking density is increased, the water exchange rate will increase and increase the risk of disease, environmental pollution and food safety. Since 2018, the research team has implemented the intensive farming model field eels by water circulation technology. This is a model that meets food safety and traceability requirements, while maintaining environmental quality and protecting natural resources. The strength of the model is the application of technical and biological solutions, self-cleaning and reuse of water sources, increasing the maximum eel farming density up to 600 fish/m2 and increasing productivity to 25kg. commercial eel/m2. The productivity of farmed eel also increased from 2.5-4 times compared with conventional farming model; profit efficiency is from 36.5-60.2%. Households raising eel under the new model ensure safe operation, control of pathogens, health and quality of farmed eel products; minimize the rate of water change, increase the output of cultured eel; improve and increase the growth rate, eel quality and production efficiency; allows the treatment of contaminated water and helps control the discharge process. Thereby, contributing to environmental protection; forming and developing farming technology to create clean, high-quality products, meeting the needs of consumers. Currently, the model is starting to be transferred and deployed in a number of breeding and commercial eel farming sites in Can Tho city. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tan, owner of Binh Thuy farm, Long Tuyen ward, Binh Thuy district has implemented the eel farming model in the form of water circulation since 2019, on a test area of ​​30m2, including 5 tanks, each tank is 6m2. The culture tank is designed to connect to the water circulation system including a biological filter tank, a solid waste settling tank and a water tank. The flow of water through the aquarium is adjusted from 0.5-0.8 liters/min. Black nylon rope is tied into a beam with a length of 20-30 cm, used for sheltering eels. This cord is cleaned daily and renewed once a month. Model of an eel tank based on water circulation technology. (Photo: Anh Tuyet/VNA) Eels are incubated for 90 days, size from 1.4-3.2g/head. Eel feed is industrial pellets, with 41% protein content. Instead of having to change the water every day like the old model, in the water recirculation model, the water is changed every 2-3 weeks. This helps farmers reduce labor costs, water costs, as well as help stabilize the water quality of the aquarium, and the eels are healthier and faster. After 8-9 months, commercial eels can reach 400g / head, farmers’ profits doubled compared to the old model. “In the commercial eel farming group of Binh Thuy district, there are currently more than 10 households out of 40 members who have switched to raising eels using water circulation technology. In general, the model is quite easy to install, the initial cost is The income is not high. The members are aware of supporting each other in farming techniques as well as product output. Therefore, most of the farming households give quite positive feedback,” said Mr. Tan. According to Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Thanh Liem, in the near future, the model will be replicated in Ninh Kieu and Phong Dien districts. The purpose is to support farmers to increase the technology content in farming and farming.

Suddenly there was an ear-piercing explosion, like a bomb. I’m sure lightning knocked down some big tree in my village. I was pale, just afraid that the innocent coconut tree towering in front of my yard would also be punished by God. Rain started to fall. My whole village was immersed in the first rain of the season, also known as the summer rain. Torrential rain, torrential rain, showers of drains. I was excited to rush out to the yard to shower in the rain, bathe naked, take a bath like that, it would be nice. I stood in the middle of the yard, immersed in the rain, the rain pouring down on my head, my hair soaking wet, the rain running down my cheeks. I could not rub my face. I raised my face to the sky, letting the rain fall directly on my face, so that I could feel the same joy of showering. And yet, I lay on my stomach on the brick yard, let the rain water water my bare back, then I turned over, let the rain fall on my stomach, so that I could be satisfied, that I was “full of rain.” “. Next, I ran to the far end of the yard, plugging the drain. About five minutes later, God gave me a free rainwater swimming pool. Although this pool water is only up to my knees, it is enough for me to swim, dive, swim, swim on my back on the brick floor that is just a normal rice drying yard. I am happy, I am delighted, I am happy, I scream, I scream loudly under the cool first rain of the season that is covering my village. These are the sublime moments of my childhood, when me and nature, me and heaven and earth were intertwined and intertwined. Rainwater flows abundantly, slick, flooding villages, fields and gardens. The air became cooler, people, animals and plants were refreshed, craving more than usual. We still call the first rain of the season the “rain of frogs”. Only about half an hour after this “lucky” rain, all over my village, in the garden, in the fields, echoes of the hum, the croak, the chorus of male frogs calling for their mates. That was also the signal telling me, let’s go to the frog, that is, shine the torch to find and catch frogs (“man frog” is the language of my village, many locals call it “soi frog”). I quickly put the bamboo basket on my waist, lit a torch made of dry bamboo and bamboo that had been built up in the corner of the kitchen for a long time. And I aim for the fields, where the echoes of the male frogs croak to call for a mate. I lit the torch, watched, and one by one I saw frogs embracing each other in the rain puddles in the field. I just reached out and grabbed a pair of frogs who were in love, no longer knowing what heaven and earth were, and put them in the basket deliciously. Frogs have a very respectable “quality”, that is, once they are mates, they are determined not to leave each other. Even when she spotted me, the female frog still tried to carry her partner, the male frog, on her back, jump around and run away together. They live and die together, no matter how strong, everyone runs. Looking back now, I somewhat regret it, willing to destroy the climaxing love of the “frog lovers” in the cool and romantic summer night, the innocent and harmless frogs. People say “hundreds of torches can catch frogs”, but for me, on the first rainy night of the season, with favorable weather conditions, just one torch was enough to catch more than a dozen frogs. It was a normal thing in the past, in the 50s of the last century, but now it is impossible to dream, because where are the natural frogs in a toxic environment full of pesticides and chemicals. . Copper frog meat, that is, natural frog meat, not farmed frogs, is delicious and nutritious, so you probably won’t even know it. Especially the fried frog with lemongrass and chili, or the frog braised with banana and beans (my mother often cooks and I love it). As for the dish and stir-fried frog with bamboo shoots, every drinker will say it’s a top favorite, if not unique…

Owning a small house in the middle of a green hill, separate from the noisy city life, is the desire of many people? With this in mind, master craftsman Jeffery Broadfield and a construction team from Smith and Primmmer created a robotic recycling house in the middle of a Berry field (Australia). The house has an area of ​​​​9m2, allowing two people to live together and still have their own space. The structure of the house is made mainly of recycled iron shells taken from a disused wharf, this material is intended to withstand the scorching rays of the Australian sun. The ground floor is a place to cook, store things and have a heating system for the house. The bedroom is located above and is accessed by a ladder. The bathroom is a deck behind the house with its own rainwater tank and toilet with a composting system. Water is collected on the roofs and then directed into a cistern above the bathroom, supplying water to the shower and kitchen. A wood-burning stove in a pot heats the cabin at night. Solar panels on the roof provide energy for lighting. In addition, the house has a ladder leading to the roof and acts as a lightning wire. If viewed from afar, the house looks like a wooden robot in the middle of a green field, realizing the dream of a peaceful resort but still fully equipped for modern people.

The hot May sun seemed to exhaust people, but salt people in Chau Ha village, Thach Chau commune (Loc Ha – Ha Tinh) were still busy in the salt fields. For them, the sun is a privilege that nature has bestowed to make the salt crop more bountiful. The peak sunshine of May makes many people uncomfortable, but for the salt people of Chau Ha it is the favor of nature, because the hot sun means that they will have a salt season… The salt season in Chau Ha usually starts from April to August. In order to make white salt grains, the salt people in Chau Ha often start working from early morning to early evening. They go to the fields early to pour the filtered sea water from the previous day on the sun-dried umbrellas. In the midst of the sweltering sun, the wind blowing fiercely, and the salty taste in the face, Mr. Nguyen Hong Tuan (SN 1958) still worked hard at each stage. Mr. Tuan’s family makes 5 sao of salt. Every day, he and his wife start work from 5 am to 6 pm. According to Mr. Tuan, to make a batch of salt must go through many stages and every stage is hard and laborious. Starting from preparing the field, compacting the soil, taking sea water into the field, drying the sand, soaking the sand, settling and filtering the water and then scooping it up into the drying box. Just a full day in the sun, the white crystals of salt gradually appear in each box under each golden sun. Working with the profession for more than 40 years, Mr. Tuan shared: “The salt industry is very hard. If you work hard, this job also helps the salt farmers to have more money in and out of the fields, although they are not rich, but it is enough to cover their lives. This season, my family makes 5 sao, after the end of the season, the output is about 35 tons of salt. With the price of 1,200 VND/kg, this year’s salt crop my family earns a good income. The salt industry depends on the weather, so during the growing season, from morning to night, Mr. Tuan and other salt farmers in the village can only rest for more than an hour, the rest are always anxious to watch the sun and rain. , standing in the field. Mr. Tuan confided: “Good harvest is also thanks to God, bad is also because of God. There are years when the salt season comes to harvest only a few times, then it rains heavily, in a moment the salt fields become a vast, white sea of ​​water, the salt people can only stand at the door and look out.. .”. For many people, the heat is “harsh”, but for the salt people, every year there is a lot of rain and storm, and the sun is low, people are restless. Because this is a job that requires a lot of sunshine. Contrary to most other occupations, intense sunshine and prolonged sunny days are always the desire of the salt people of Chau Ha in the salt fields. Although at the age of “near the land, far from the sky”, Nguyen Thi Chat (81 years old) still tries to make 1.5 sao of salt to earn extra income. Every day, from 5 a.m., Mr. Cho’s hand had to take a handful of shovels, trailers, drinking water… to go to the fields to make salt. Holding a hydrometer to measure the salinity of water, Mr. Chot shared: “The salt profession is so arduous, when it’s sunny, people rest, I carry tools to the field to do it immediately, then my feet will be dark until dark. just homed. On sunny days, if I work hard, I can collect more than 1 quintal of salt, giving an income of more than 100,000 VND. Mr. Chot said, from 12 am to 14 pm is the time when people use a tool to measure the salinity of sea water to determine the salt concentration, when the salinity in the water reaches 20 degrees, the salt people put water into the filter system. for salt production. If it’s sunny, you can also put salt in this layer or another layer, but if it’s not sunny, it’s not too crowded. Sometimes in the middle of the main crop, the unseasonal rains suddenly come, how much effort is successful… in the wild. When he was tired and sweaty, he went to a temporary shack next to the salt field to rest and drink water to regain strength. More than 70 years of salt production, which means that Uncle Ching has gone through 70 harsh summers, but he has never tried to measure the temperature of the salt field at noon, only knowing that the more sweat he sweats, the hotter the sun. the more salt you can harvest. Salt begins to crystallize at about 2pm every day, at this time, salt people rush to start harvesting. Each square of pure white salt is like “pearls” carefully collected by the salt people. According to many salt people, the price of salt for many years has not escaped the fluctuations, up and down. The chorus of good harvests, losing prices, keeps hanging around with the salt people here. At the beginning of the season, little salt, many small traders come to the fields to ask to buy. In the middle of the season, salt is “crushed” as the price. On sunny days 39 – 40 degrees Celsius, the salt field evaporates, despite the saltiness of the salt and the heat like frying a frying pan in the face every day, the salt people of Chau Ha still persistently beam their bare feet under the salt fields. . Perhaps, there is no profession that oozes hot oil like salt making. The salty white salt is the crystallization of the taste of the sea and the sweat of the salt people in the fields. The people of Chau Ha have for many generations still buckling “carrying the sun”, carrying the hardships of life on their shoulders. And for them, making salt is not only an income but also to preserve the traditional profession… Currently, the whole village of Chau Ha has about 110 households engaged in salt production, with a total area of ​​more than 13 hectares. The salt industry here has been around for more than 50 years, since the salt industry has helped many families here stabilize their lives, raise their children to study and grow up. That said, but the salt makers in Chau Ha now only have “aged” men and women attached to the profession. Mr. Nguyen Minh Chau (SN 1961) confided: “The young people in the village when they finish high school, if they don’t go to university or college, they all go to the South to settle down, in the salt fields now there are only shadows of the old people. old person. I know that making salt is not a high income, but I and many other households in the village are not willing to give up, because I want to keep the traditional profession of my forefathers.” With more than 30 years of working with the salt industry, Ms. Le Thi Ty (born in 1962) said: “The salt industry depends on the “sunshine”, the consumption is precarious, we always expect the authorities at all levels to have policies to support farmers in finding a stable consumption market, so that the salt industry will not be lost or abandoned. According to Ms. Ty, over the years, the salt people here have tasted the bitterness of salt making, but if they don’t make salt, they don’t know what to do, because they have no agricultural land and no side jobs. How many things must be carried on the back of the salt grain, so that the output and price are stable, not being forced by traders, which is the biggest desire of the salt people today. According to many salt farmers, the price of salt goes up and down erratically, many people when the salt season ends, they have to turn to other seasonal jobs such as construction workers, porters, fishers… to make a living. Even so, all of them still did not give up the salt profession because the hard work and saltiness in the fields late at night had soon become familiar to them. With their hard work and love for their profession, the people who are “hot team, looking forward to the sky” in Chau Ha salt fields are day by day refining the essence of the sea to make a living and keep their jobs. Sticking with a grain of salt, the lives of the salt people here are still full of hardship and hardship, however, showing up on each of their faces is always an optimistic smile. Ms. Le Thi Chau (SN 1963) shared: “My family has 3 children, but none of them follow in the footsteps of their parents in doing traditional jobs. My husband often jokes: “Let’s work hard until our eyes are open and our hands are not shaken to keep the job, so that we can’t support the job that has supported our whole family for most of our lives”. As for health, my wife and I will not quit our job, quit complaining.” For the salt people of Chau Ha, the white salt warehouses are the “gift burdens” that the sea and sunshine bestowed on them. And perhaps, for that reason, although the salt industry is hard and precarious, the salt people here still do not want to give up their job, on the contrary, they see salt as a part of life.

According to Mr. Pham Duy Phong, Director of Ninh Binh Tourism Promotion Information Center, Tam Coc field is one of the most beautiful fields in the Northern Delta region with views from above. Therefore, from 2018 until now, every middle of May, Ninh Binh tourism organizes Ninh Binh Tourism Week, taking the yellow color of Tam Coc as the theme to attract tourists to Ninh Binh, enjoy the outstanding features and values ​​of local tourism resources, especially of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage – Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex. Ninh Binh tourism week “Golden colors of Tam Coc – Trang An” this year has many activities organized, including the photo tour program “Photo Tour – Tam Coc golden season”. Through the photo contest, Ninh Binh has more excellent works to promote domestically and internationally. In order to ensure the safety of artists and tourists taking photos during Ninh Binh Tourism Week, the Organizing Committee had previously had many visits to survey rice fields, an ideal photo spot to install ladders for the ” manipulator” easily occupied the high point on the mountain. According to the experience of the “managers” and the Organizing Committee, Ninh Binh currently has 4 most beautiful places to take photos from above, including the top of Ca cave taken in, the top of Trai Bo mountain taken out, and the top of Key Voi mountain taken horizontally. and shoot down from the top of Hang Mua mountain. Particularly with the view from the top of Mua cave, visitors will get two ripe rice fields with different colors. Because rice in the fields of Tam Coc and Ngo Dong River is planted with short-term varieties to avoid floods, the rice has begun to ripen in mid-May. As for the rice in the field on the side of Hang Mua tourist area, it is a long-term variety, so the harvest season will not come until June. The moment to get the best photos is the period from 9-11am, because if you come too early, it is still foggy and there are few boats on the river. If it’s late, the sun will shine, and the image will lack blocks to enhance the contours of the field. For those who are healthy and passionate about photography, they often choose the most beautiful locations on the tops of the mountains to take a panoramic view of the peaceful Ngo Dong River winding between the golden colors of the ripe rice fields. , the farmers are busy harvesting rice with happy laughter and small boats full of golden rice. All of these things have created beautiful pictures in Tam Coc’s golden season. In order to protect the clean and beautiful natural landscape, environmental protection in Tam Coc tourist area in particular and Ninh Binh in general is of great interest to the authorities and people. Through practical exchanges with the boatmen here, they say that every year they hear explanations about the meaning of protecting the clean and beautiful ecological environment and the safe and friendly social environment. The people here are aware that, protecting the natural environment will preserve the beauty of resources and landscapes in a sustainable way, contributing to the development of local tourism, creating jobs and creating jobs. create stable, long-term income. The safe and friendly social environment will make a good impression on visitors, making many people want to return to Ninh Binh and introduce others to Ninh Binh tourism. Therefore, the local people are very proud of the scenery here, often reminding each other to protect the environment, protect the landscape and the good cultural values ​​of the ancient capital.

Working session between Minister Le Minh Hoan and NNVN Newspaper on the morning of May 22. Photo: Dinh Tung. On the morning of May 22, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan visited and worked at the Newspaper Vietnamese culture . Also attending were Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Hiep and leaders of some units in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. ‘The mission of the press is to transmit multidimensional information’ Minister Le Minh Hoan is a regular newspaper writer under the familiar pseudonym Cyclo. Therefore, when talking with staff, reporters, editors and employees of the Newspaper, Vietnamese culture , he did not talk much about the responsibilities and functions of the newspaper in general. Instead, Minister Le Minh Hoan spends most of his time sharing inspirational stories about journalism. “Why did the founder of Apple Corporation use the apple logo as a logo? Because, life is not perfect and each of us has to work to make the dent fill up. up”. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan. Photo: Dinh Tung. The minister raised the issue and continued: “Because nothing is perfect, we have room to think, create and answer the questions why, why and why?”. When journalists go to the fields, wade fields, and meet relatives, they must always ask the question, why are farmers still poor? Why is the countryside undeveloped? Why is the agricultural value chain broken? Why do we want to eat clean but the food is not safe?… Minister Le Minh Hoan said: Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung – Minister of Information and Communications said a very good sentence: “The word question will stimulate discovery and investigation”. Good journalists know how to ask good questions. Sometimes the question is more important than the answer. In front of the team of journalists Vietnamese culture, Mr. Le Minh Hoan emphasized: “Once upon a time, journalism was a tool for propaganda, but later on, we realized that the mission of the press is not only one-way communication but a multi-dimensional information transmission channel. “. It is information from life that will lead to the adjustment of the leader’s decision. If that transmission channel is blocked, it will be difficult to grasp the voice of life. Elevating the role of the press in the current era, the Commander of the Agriculture and Rural Development sector said: The development of the press and media will create added value for the connected economy. If we do well, we can activate an entire society, activate classes, change production and business models. “Journalists themselves contribute to creating added value for agriculture by communicating new models, new ways of doing things, and new products,” said Minister Le Minh Hoan. “The value of a product includes cost and intangible factors such as local traditions, history, culture… And we not only sell products but also emotions to consumers.” . Therefore, journalists also need to know how to breathe life into the products. In order for readers to have feelings about their work, journalists first need to read a lot, travel a lot, be moved and be moved by the things they witness. For example, when propagating about building a new countryside, we should not put too much emphasis on 19 criteria, on infrastructure. “New rural propaganda is about both the core and the soul”. When returning to the locality, do not see the new concrete road, the new cultural house, the new bridge, the new medical station but rush to rejoice. The village must retain its soul, retain its walls of green trees, a fresh environment, a harmony between people, nature and socio-cultural institutions. “If the city is the place to compare the level of civilization, the village is the place to compare the history and culture of the nation”, the Minister shared. Multimedia press agency Newspaper Editor-in-Chief Vietnamese culture Nguyen Ngoc Thach said that in October 2020, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development approved the Project on Development and Management of Newspapers. Vietnamese culture to 2025, with orientation to 2030 to realize the development goals of the Newspaper Vietnamese culture “becoming a multi-media, multi-platform press agency with a comprehensive ecosystem”. At the same time, this is a newspaper with in-depth and specialized content that is “updated, reliable, oriented, spread and effective” on agriculture and rural development on the basis of multimedia journalism and digital technology applications. Editor-in-Chief of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper Nguyen Ngoc Thach at the meeting with leaders of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Photo: Dinh Tung. Overview of the results achieved in the past time, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thach said, Newspaper Vietnamese culture was evaluated by the Central Committee for Propaganda and Training, the Vietnam Journalists Association, and fellow press agencies as “one of the press agencies with a streamlined apparatus, high-quality human resources, effective and efficient operation. present results”. “All rivers flow, stand still and fall behind” “Current journalism activities pose huge problems, changing or stopping, and how to change to live is difficult,” Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Hoang Hiep suggested. He said that the newspaper Vietnamese culture have overcome difficult times, are the few newspapers that have been continuously awarded certificates of merit by the Central Committee for Propaganda in the past 2 years, for both keeping the principle of purpose and improving the material life. , spirit for cadres, civil servants, public employees and employees. Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Hoang Hiep. Photo: Dinh Tung. However, if we just stop at that level, it will not work. Because “all rivers flow, if we stand still, we will definitely fall behind”. Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Hiep proposed the Minister, leaders of agencies and units under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to create conditions and closely coordinate to report to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Vietnamese culture have resources to continue investing in infrastructure, equipment and technology, etc. to constantly develop, thereby fulfilling the task of information and propaganda of the agriculture and rural development sector. Mr. Nguyen Van Viet, Director of the Planning Department (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) said, Newspaper Vietnamese culture is a self-financed non-business unit, but over the years the newspaper has done very well the functions and tasks assigned by the Ministry. At the same time, the newspaper has also built a propaganda ecosystem commensurate with the development requirements in the 4.0 period.

Couple uttering love Located not far from Ba Den mountain, Khedol field is located in Thanh Dong hamlet, Thanh Tan commune, Tay Ninh city, known to many people for its cool, windy and peaceful green rice fields. In the middle of the field is a couple uttering legendary love. Photo: HONG GIANG In the middle of the field is a couple uttering legendary love. Khedol, also known as Wind Field, because this place is blocked in the East – West direction of the great range of Ba and Heo mountain populations. From the two sides of the mountain, the wind blows into the field all year round without rest. Most of the people living here are Khmer people, they named this field Wind, because Khedol in Khmer means Wind. Speaking of the pair of love palm trees, no one in Tay Ninh does not know the beauty of this legend. People here do not know who planted this pair of jaggery and since when. Elderly people who have lived around the fields for a long time said that when they were born, they saw this pair of trees present. Around the beginning of 2017, photographer Ha The Bao (Member of Tay Ninh Culture and Arts Association) accidentally caught a couple of Kvan jaggery standing tall, intertwined in the middle of Khedol field. Sunset and sunrise photos here appear one after another. Many photographers from all over the country also come to hunt for beautiful moments of this love legend. Since then, this place has gradually become the ideal check-in and photo-taking spot for many young people, even creating a trend on social networks to attract a large number of tourists when coming to Tay Ninh. This place has gradually become an ideal check-in and photo-taking point for many young people. Photo: HONG GIANG Most recently, in the first Baden Mountain Marathon held in Tay Ninh, runners at the distances of 21km and 42km have experienced and “chilled” this route. Many people said that because they loved the scene of Khedol double jaggery, they returned to Tay Ninh, to run, to see Khedol Suoi Da road on the side of Ba Den mountain. Revive the jab couple However, recently, after just one night of rain and storms, one of the two love palm trees had to collapse, leaving a lonely tree standing in the middle of the field.

Quite common use These days, Mr. Phan Thanh Thai (Dien Son commune, Dien Khanh district) is always busy collecting straw in the field of Lung bridge. From the day the field was harvested, his straw rolling machine had to work continuously to ensure that the straw was not wet or slowed down. Mr. Thai said that in the past, he received a contract to supply rice straw to other places, but it had to be done manually. Recently, he invested in buying a straw rolling machine and then connected it to a plow to deploy the machine. In addition, he also rented a straw rolling machine to secure the contract to supply straw rolls to the provinces and cities: Phan Thiet, Phan Rang, Lam Dong. 1 straw rolling machine ensures a productivity of 500 rolls/day, each roll weighs 20kg. Harvesting straw in the field of Cau Lung, Dien Khanh. The mechanization of straw handling by a straw rolling machine is now quite popular. Mr. Nguyen Truong Sanh – Director of Dien Lac Agricultural Cooperative (Dien Khanh) said that Dien Lac farmers have been selling straw rolls for several years now. Dien Lac Commune has 180ha of 2-crop rice, more than 50% of the area is used for straw rolling machines, except for the small and fragmented area located in residential areas and flooded areas that cannot be harvested. Harvesting straw by machine helps to save labor, straw is used for many purposes such as making mushrooms, root cabinets, fodder for cattle… Currently, on average, 1ha of harvested rice is purchased for 600,000 VND, help farmers have more income from straw. The cooperative makes a contract with the person who has the machine, sells straw to customers in need and pays debts of the cooperative members to the cooperative from selling straw. According to Mr. Nguyen Kien – Chairman of the Farmers’ Association of Cam Tan commune, Cam Lam district, recently, farmers in the commune have also known to sell rolled straw to customers. Large fields are mostly harvested by machine, estimated 70-80%. The commune is encouraging farmers to use biological products to treat rice straw to improve the soil. Should replenish the land The advantages of machine harvesting are clear, however, through the sale of straw, harvesting by machine also raises controversial issues. Users of the machine believe that, in addition to the above advantages, the use of straw rolling machines also helps to cut off the source of pest spread in the field from untreated straw, preventing the next rice crop from being poisoned with straw. untreated straw, and at the same time resists smoke pollution from burning copper… People who are worried about the depletion of soil colorants think that the sale of rolled straw should not be encouraged, because in this way the source of nutrients From the straw is increasingly lost, the soil will gradually degrade because of the lack of organic matter, the yield will decrease in the following crops if there is no other source of fertilizer to compensate. Both of the above comments are valid. However, in fact, for a long time, farmers have paid little attention to nutrients for the soil, leading to poorer soil quality, especially in the one-crop rice area. If in the past, when inorganic fertilizers were not widely used, the soil was difficult to degrade because farmers used a lot of organic fertilizers to fertilize crops, even cooperatives were worried about buying fertilizers from the northern provinces. such as Lam Thao and Van Dien for farmers. Currently, farming in the way of “instant noodles”, running with inorganic fertilizers makes the soil increasingly degraded, so the source of fertilizer from rotting straw is meaningful. Therefore, agricultural extension officers advise that harvesting straw by machine is still necessary and suitable with the current level of technology. Farmers need to pay attention to the issue of nourishing the soil when taking away the source of rice straw, funding from the source of selling straw. Only in this way can the role of mechanical machinery be promoted, and at the same time the arable land is not degraded and degraded. VL

Under the sun… In May, the sun shines brightly on all roads. Early in the morning, the sun was already rising. Like this morning, the golden sun shines brightly, shining brighter than the blue patches of the sky and white clouds floating in the air. The streets I still go through every day to go to work, the cicadas have played the low-pitched music, the phoenix has sporadic flowering branches and the purple color of the mausoleum. The street suddenly seemed strangely different every day for the summer to the season. Sunny. Very sunny, especially at noon, everyone seems to be rushing on the road to “hide” from the sun. And I, in the depths of my heart, suddenly realized something real, and very real. It was early summer, on my way home from work in the midday sun, and strangely, I missed the sun. Seeing the sun suddenly miss the sun, the nostalgia seems to burst with the silence of worries with myself, with daily joys and sorrows… My birthday is on a day in May. I remember being busy when my mother told me that I must have been born in the sun, so I was black. And I innocently told myself to be like plants and flowers in the garden, growing up in the sun every day. It’s funny to remember the “young and buffalo” time in my hometown, because the sun gave me black skin through many sunny seasons, to forever remember the verses “Homeland is a bunch of sweet star fruit …”, or “Who told the blanket to be a blanket?” buffalo is suffering / I dreamily listen to birds singing high above…”. Yes, it’s like the earth, like the grass, but it’s good, struggling with the sun to cherish in my heart a pure and pure life, reaching up to the vast space, enjoying the sunshine and singing the song of fertility four Seasons… But think back, look at yourself. I used to be in the sun in the field on the beach, I used to rush on the village road with the blazing sun to go to school. Then just like that, I grew up and I went, saying goodbye to my hometown with the village’s bamboo ramparts disappearing to go to the city to study and find work and make a living. I “escaped” gardens, rice fields, rivers, boats and even kites full of wind in the clear blue sky, running away from the sun. And now, every day, I “hide” in working and living rooms with air conditioning or other amenities in the hot season in each passing day. But when I return to my hometown, in the early morning, I see the pure rays of sunshine and the dew drops of last night still wet in my mother’s vegetable garden, or the sunset sun shining in the dark purple horizon in the field. village. Sunshine for the green of the leaves, sunshine on the cheerful faces of children, on the smiles of the people in my hometown in the harvest season… She is innocent, she can see sunshine and sunshine everywhere. Suddenly, I found that, even though it was sunny, I was cool in the midst of the lovely countryside. Therefore, there are times when I miss the sun, an unrelenting nostalgia… In the early summer months of this year, I miss home, miss my hometown with immense sunshine in the distant fields. Homeland is harvesting rice. The people in my hometown are working hard in the fields from early morning until hot noon, or do not finish work until late at night. Sunshine is still sincere and transparent “participating” in their lives, a natural thing. The people of my hometown are still as sincere as the salty soil of the alluvial soil, like the plants and trees that work diligently in the sun to look forward to the bountiful seasons, so that life is full and peaceful for each passing day. Then, every time a meal, whether at home or in the field on the beach, the fatigue disappears, and the joy mingles with the sweet aroma in the pure white rice grains. I see more sunshine again… In the early summer days of May, the sun is still steadily starting each morning this morning. I wrote for me on my birthday, just like the melody of Trinh’s love song “Sunshine” is still earnestly “The color of the sun or the color of your eyes”, “The grass suddenly turns sunny”… Sunny fading into the vast memory. And I’m having a nostalgia. The sun gives me the desire to write something, after I finish writing it, I feel like it’s never been enough. Summer sun!…

In the winter-spring crop 2020-2021, Quang Tri Agricultural Extension Center has implemented an organic rice production model using Guilin organic fertilizer at An Long Cooperative, Trieu Hoa commune, Trieu Phong district to change awareness and transfer of technical processes and organic farming methods to people. From being dependent on chemical fertilizers, people have realized great benefits from applying organic fertilizers. Photo: PVT. The model is implemented on a scale of 10 hectares, 50 participating households. After selecting the demonstration site, the Quang Tri Agricultural Extension Center organized a training session to guide the process of organic rice intensification, especially organic composting. The implementation of organic composting was carried out early (since November 2020). At the same time, the technical staff has coordinated with the Commune People’s Committee and the Management Board of the cooperative to closely manage and supervise the implementation of the model as required by the program. Rice production process using sowing tools, HC95 rice variety has high quality, high yield and good quality. Master Tran Thi Thuy, the technical officer directing the model, said that in the process of planting, households have been instructed to carefully prepare the soil, create a flat surface, and drain water before sowing. Make sure to soak the seeds in the correct technique, regularly check the sprouts, when the sprout is 1/3 of a rice grain (cracked pineapple spikes), the roots are ½ of a rice grain, sow. Healthy, disease-free, productive, high-quality rice fields thanks to organic production. Photo: PVT. Rice is sown by row sowing tool, the amount of seed sown for 1 sao (500 m2) is 3.5 kg. Use composted organic fertilizer for lining and Guilin organic fertilizer during the growth and development of rice plants. Rice does not use chemical fertilizers, chemical pesticides, only biological pesticides are used when pests and diseases occur. Scientific irrigation water regime, suitable for the growing needs of rice plants. Fertilizers are applied in 4 main growth and development periods of rice… Calculating for 1 hectare, the amount of fertilizer for each application is as follows: Apply the last fertilizer before harrowing with 6-7 tons of broken organic fertilizer, 500 kg Guilin microbial organic fertilizer, 300 kg Guilin mineral fertilizer ; first application at rice 20 days after sowing with the amount of Guilin mineral fertilizer: 500 kg; second fertilizer at rice 32-35 days after sowing with 400 kg Guilin mineral fertilizer; 3rd application at rice 62 days after sowing, combined with spraying foliar fertilizer with 300 kg of Guilin mineral fertilizer, 40 packs of Guilin foliar fertilizer. Mr. Doan Tho Hoa, An Long village (Trieu Hoa commune, Trieu Phong commune) participates in the model of organic rice production with an area of ​​4 sao. Meeting with us, Mr. Hoa could not hide his joy and said: The difference of the organic rice production model is the use of Guilin organic fertilizer and the use of manure composted with Trichoderma products. The environment in the fields of Trieu Hoa commune (Trieu Phong, Quang Tri) is greener, cleaner and more beautiful thanks to organic rice farming. Photo: PVT. Compared to HC95 rice, which farmers cultivate in the usual way, the model rice plants are organically healthy, have durable green leaves, moderate green color from the beginning to the end of the crop, and the rice plants are free from pests and diseases from the root At the top, the color of the yellow rice grain is brighter. “During the last storm of the season with strong gusts of wind, conventional farming fields all fell, especially the model fields have strong roots, so they do not fall, which is very convenient for farming. harvest”, Mr. Hoa assessed. Mr. Doan Duc Tam, another household participating in the model, said that when cultivating rice in the organic direction, it will greatly limit the situation where pesticide bottles are thrown away in the field, but instead, the awareness The people’s compliance with the process of caring for rice with organic fertilizers has been increased. “During the implementation of the model, from planting, tending to harvesting, my relatives and I always feel secure, without fear of toxicity when taking care of rice,” said Mr. Tam. Multi-faceted benefits In the process of rice production, if using inorganic fertilizers for many years, without adding organic fertilizers as well as overusing inorganic fertilizers, it will cause harm such as increasing the susceptibility of plants to diseases. , kill beneficial microorganisms, make many arable land areas lose fertility, imbalance of nutrients in the soil, hard soil, decrease crop yield and increase production costs. impact on the environment and human health… Not using chemical pesticides, focusing on integrated pest management in the field has shown farmers countless benefits. Photo: PVT. The application of organic production processes increases the fertility of the soil, increases the minerals and effective microorganisms for the soil, has a very good effect on soil improvement, especially for the soils that have been and are being developed. degraded. In the long run, it will help the rice plant’s better resistance to pests and diseases. During the flowering period, the field will be less infected with planthoppers, dry, give long cotton, rice is free of pests, rice is clear, rice is soft and has a characteristic aroma. Economically, the yield is estimated at 57 quintals/ha for the HC95 variety, with the selling price of 9,000 VND/kg, giving a profit of 25 – 27 million VND/ha, 10-15% higher than the mass market. In addition, reducing the amount of sowing seeds by using a sowing tool, making rice plants grow healthy and balanced, this is an important factor contributing to improving productivity and economic efficiency. In terms of environment, ecology, using Guilin microbial and mineral organic fertilizers, combined with manure, stubble decomposition products, creating a favorable environment for beneficial microorganisms, improved soil. Better yet, the rice plants grow in balance, the environment is safe, the field ecosystem is secure, there are fish, snails, and crabs… living in the rice fields. Organically produced rice not only ensures quality and productivity, but also significantly reduces production costs. Photo: PVT. Developing agriculture according to organic farming methods not only contributes to the creation of organic products that are beneficial to human health, but also raises awareness and changes farming methods in rice production towards organic sustainable, ensuring safe products, the country’s environment is not polluted, contributing to the protection of the environment and field ecosystems. According to Mr. Phan Ba ​​Dinh, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Trieu Hoa Commune, Trieu Phong District: Local households have also felt the risk of abusing inorganic fertilizers, abusing chemical pesticides, affecting quality. agricultural products, environment and public health, so the model implementation is highly accepted by households. Mr. Dinh has learned from experience: If the technical process in the model is followed, such as using microbial organic fertilizers and Guilin mineral fertilizers, combined with manure, Trichoderma; If the amount of water is guaranteed, the weather is favorable, it is necessary to go through many production crops, the fields are improved, the fertility of the soil is improved… “From the initial support of the Provincial Agricultural Extension Center, it has helped households to firmly grasp and understand the technical stages of organic production that are different from mass production. In the next seasons, we will direct, and have supportive policies, and at the same time continue to propagate and replicate the model, encouraging farmers to implement this superior farming model,” Dinh said. know.

Is Tesla’s arrogance? Carry foreigners? Or is the market supervision failure, and no one is in charge of the trouble? I have said long ago that the issue of Tesla’s brake failure should be based on facts rather than emotionally-driven “public opinion.” Before the appraisal result of the quality supervision department came out, the position seemed to have already sentenced Tesla to death. Is it really not afraid that the final result will be the misoperation of the owner and the driver, which will damage the national reputation? We ultimately want foreign companies to adapt to the Chinese market “We ultimately want foreign companies to adapt to the Chinese market.” Hu Xijin’s words sound very relieved. Dear consumers, think carefully about the current situation of the domestic market? Is it difficult to defend rights? Where is the difficulty? To allow companies like Tesla to adapt to the Chinese market, or should the Chinese market be improved to effectively resolve disputes between merchants and consumers? I have to say that there are still many imperfections in our market. We still need companies like Tesla and Apple to act as catfish to inspire the self-motivatedness of national enterprises. They cannot make money by lying down like some companies, otherwise they will lose money It is a consumer. Regardless of online public opinion, whether Tesla is afraid or not, consumers have sharp eyes. There is no problem with the sentence of allowing foreign companies to adapt to the Chinese market, but it is best to use the market method. If you use “public opinion” and official pressure to convince Tesla, it is indeed “not worth the loss.” Reduce the misunderstanding of the Chinese market economy ecology by the outside world? Hu Xijin said that when foreign companies and consumers are in conflict, official identity agencies try not to speak out, amplify the private punishment mechanism, and reduce the misunderstanding of China’s market economy ecology. I agree with Hu Xijin’s “reducing the misunderstanding of the Chinese market economy ecology”, but I do not agree with Hu Xijin’s encouragement of private boycotts of foreign companies, because such boycotts on the basis of no factual basis are themselves “part of the market economy ecology.” Let the bullet fly for a while and wait for the facts to come out Tesla’s braking incident, before the regulatory investigation results are released, we cannot be partial to Tesla’s data, nor can we partial to the feelings of the car owners at the time. All of this comes from facts. Of course, the investigation of facts may be more difficult under the game of various interests. But after the whole society presets its position, this matter is already in a dilemma. If there is a problem with Tesla’s brakes, the recovery of the vehicle must be a regular follow-up action, but the blow to Tesla may be fatal. If Tesla’s brakes are not a problem, the “bad market economy ecology” may not be able to run away. If there is no problem, in the current public opinion environment, it is not impossible to say that there is a problem, but if it happens, according to the disposition of a scientist like Musk, the consequences may be more serious. It is hoped that netizens will speak rationally, try their best to maintain the good ecology of China’s market economy, and promote the better development of China’s market economy. Don’t be dazzled by Hu Xijin’s national honor of “convincing Tesla”. In the market, it is much better to establish a mechanism that allows consumers to defend their rights without making trouble than to wait for the trouble to be resolved. Those of us netizens with incomplete information, just wait for the bullets to fly for a while, when the facts come out, it is not too late to concentrate on firepower.

The vast steppe is immense green to the horizon … ”, on warm April days, tourists from all over the country flock to Elista capital of the Russian Federation of Kalmykia to be wandering in the fields of tulips growing. nature and immerse yourself in a unique flower festival. One of the most attractive events in the cultural life of the Republic of Kalmykia is the folk-ethnographic festival “Tulip Festival”. In the steppe republic, where tulips grow in natural conditions and are considered national symbols, a celebration of honor has been held since 2013. “Tulip Festival” is becoming more and more popular with tourists. On the days of the event, thousands of visitors came to the republic, including foreigners, who were infatuated with the beauty of the local steppe. In 2019, 10,000 visitors attended. In 2020, the Festival was canceled due to restrictions related to Covid-19 translation. This year, the government of the Republic of Kalmykia decided to hold an event long awaited and loved by the tourists and locals for a day, instead of 3 days as every year and taking into account all measures on epidemiological hygiene. The festival takes place on the territory of Shatta Ecological Park – Tselinny district of Kalmykia, about 20 km from the capital Elista. Cars poured in from all over the festival, filling a large area. The ladies in national costumes welcome visitors At the entrance, there are girls in ethnic costumes standing in two rows to welcome guests. Inside, the festival is divided into many exhibition areas, according to different themes. Each district of the republic has its own area to introduce the cultural, ethnographic characteristics, production activities, life. The festival includes archery performances, horseback riding, ethnic wrestling, yoga and zumba, vibrant concerts, Kalmyk embroidery training classes, art makeup, bone carving, weaving Kalmyk whip and felt. A food court with ethnic dishes is also held on site. One more goal that this year, the Festival Organizing Committee, is to raise the ecological awareness of residents and visitors to the republic. The environmental patrol team and volunteers oversee the compliance of the rules, explaining to guests the need to respect steppe tulips, which, if violated, will result in administrative penalties. There are no tulips at the festival venue to avoid the risk of trampling on the flowers. You can watch tulips in the fields of Priyutnensky, Iki-Burulsky and Tselinny districts. Amidst the vast steppe nature, the high clear blue sky, the sun, the wind, the riders performing the horse riding performances, the knights in armor, helmets, exciting dances, lyrics, Strongly recreated a beautiful picture of the life of ancient nomads. Mrs. Vera, – a tourist from the city of Stavropol attending the festival, feels very happy: “We are very like, very interesting, everything is fun and rich. We have seen the tents on display here, the girls are very beautiful, gorgeous, the knights are very majestic. ” Wish tree Mrs. Vera said that, after watching and enjoying many performing arts shows, she and her crew members also visited the largest Buddhist temple in Kalmykia and took pictures in the field of tulips. Tuylip Flower Festival attracts not only tourists from all over the world, but also locals. Ms. Svetlana said: “Tuylip is the beauty of our steppe, our pride, our history and our life. The festival was held for us and visitors to see “. As a country of Buddhism, at the entrance, visitors can not help but notice a tree, with ribbons hanging in the colors of blue, red, yellow, and white. Mrs. Vera, – an artist of the national arts troupe explained: “This is our cashew tree. We hang up ribbons with our wishes. This blue is the wish for happiness, white is luck, yellow is belief in Buddha, red is prosperity. ” Along with its signature cultural traditions, Kalmykia cuisine reflects the centuries-old nomadic life of herding herds and is not so diverse, mostly meats and flour, but it does. satisfied with large serving sizes and adequate nutritional value. Kalmykia is a small republic, with more than 300,000 inhabitants, located in the south of Russia, the eastern edge of Europe. Residents here are predominantly Asian and mostly Buddhist. In recent years, Buddhist temples, including the Buddha Shakyamuni – the largest in Europe, are located in the capital Elista and the annual Tuylip flower festival has become and is becoming a national brand attracting tourists. by Kalmykia. The temple is 63 meters high, so it is easy to see from any position in the city, and the Buddha statue in the Main Hall is 9 meters high. In addition, there are other Buddhist imprints such as the Seven-day Pagoda, the ancient Buddhist temple of Khurul, the Golden Gate … The colors of Buddhist culture, the fields of natural tulips, the herds of goats, sheep, camels leisurely. graze on the immense, peaceful steppe and continues to invite and hold visitors to Kalmyakia./. Other impressive images of the festival: Reenactment of the image of knights The Iashaltinsky district introduces great local livestock farming Traditional Kalmykia costumes Ethnic dishes Festival visitors can experience camel riding Exciting dance performance Naturally growing Tuylip flower fields attract visitors Herd of goats and sheep grazing leisurely on the steppe Buddha Shakyamuni Temple is the largest in Kalmykia and also the largest in Europe Temple 7 days.

Being passionate about plants and sticking to plant research, especially flowering plants, TS. Do Van Truong , Vietnam Museum of Nature, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, famous scientist for many discoveries for new species, dedicates his youth to focus on research in this field. TS. Do Van Truong on a field trip. Along with the professional work such as biodiversity research, plant resources … an important part of the TS’s indispensable work. Do Van Truong and colleagues to find and identify new species for science. And each new finding is published is a special story with lots of sweat and tears. TS. Do Van Truong recalled that in 2017, when he was on a field research trip in Kom Tum, he was on his way back to Nha Trang and happened to be surfing on Facebook and saw a young friend posting a picture of a tree wildly. See photo, TS. Do Van Truong saw that this was a very strange tree, never seen before. Immediately exceed 200 km to enter Binh Dinh area and approach strange trees. Arrived, TS. Do Van Truong received guidance from a local resident and confirmed that it only took half a day to both go and return. So at 10:00 a.m. the group set off with their inventory of a few loaves of bread for a makeshift lunch in the woods. As expected, about 2 hours later, we have reached the place where there are strange trees. The team was very happy and spent an hour observing, describing, recording, and collecting samples of strange plants to study. Due to the fact that indigenous people have a clear understanding of the terrain in the area, the group decided that when they returned, they would not return to the old road but approach another forest area to find a trail back to the village. However, the more you get lost. 5:00 pm, darkness collapses, only 2 small biscuits left, the phone has no waves, cold weather and small rain. The group decided to stop and approach the nearest mountain to hope for phone waves, because according to many years of experience in the jungle, TS. The more you know, the more you get lost and lose your energy. Hunger, cold, and even panic occasionally rekindled. 5am ​​the next morning, TS. Do Van Truong and his colleagues decided to go back to the old way. The group went continuously for 5 hours to reach a large stream flowing back to the village and met two communal militiamen who were on a mission to “find stray scientists”. As it turned out, during the night, many of the people in the village were unable to sleep because of their anxiety. The police, the military, even professional hunters were mobilized to find you. “It was a memorable trip in life. Hungry, thirsty, arriving in tattered clothes. Luckily, this strange tree was later researched and identified as genus (Michaelmoelleria F.Wen, YGWei & TVDo, gen. Nov.) And plant species (Michaelmoelleria vietnamensis F.Wen, ZBXin & TVDo, sp. nov.) new to world science ”Dr. Do Van Truong said Michaelmoelleria vietnamensis F.Wen, ZBXin & TVDo, sp. nov. The feeling of a winner TS. Do Van Truong added a memory, that is in 2018, during a trip to investigate and survey the flora of Vu Quang National Park (Ha Tinh), on the way back, colleagues discovered a tall vines. , beautiful flowers immediately take it and send it to you. At this time, TS. Do Van Truong is working in China, when he received the photo, he had a premonition that this was a very strange plant in his group. TS. Do Van Truong on a field trip When he returned home, he decided to find this vine. By the end of 2020, TS. Do Van cooperated with Vu Quang National Park to conduct a field trip to an area where strange plants were recorded before. This is a dangerous terrain and very far from the ranger station, so the group decided to sleep in the forest with determination to “hunt” with strange trees. At 6 am, the group will start their journey from the ranger station until 4pm to reach the desired area. However, within a radius of 1 km where colleagues used to take pictures, PhD. The red-eyed field still cannot see vines or regenerated seedlings of strange plants. TS. Truong commented that it is possible that individuals of strange plants have died due to the strong impact of previous droughts. At 5:30 it was dark, the group decided to camp, rest and drink wine for the sad: “Quiet space, darkness covered, and depressed mood. That feeling, I still remember until now ”, TS. Do Van Truong recalls. 7:30 the next morning, TS. Do Van Truong decided to search again, in the hope that the tree has flowers, that is to bear fruit, and is a source of seeds for regenerating seedlings. This is an area where the forest is not affected, definitely the trees are just around somewhere. He went back and forth many times, digging through the forest ropes, he finally found, it was a tree trunk lying hidden in a large cluster of trees. “At that time, she was sweaty and tired. But the feeling of victory is great ”. Up to now, on the basis of the results of analysis and research, PhD. The school has confirmed that this is a new plant species for world science, named: Aristolochia vuquangensis TVDo, sp.nov. Aristolochia vuquangensis TVDo, sp.nov. Fruit for efforts Hard, even dangerous, however, TS. Do Van Truong has received “sweet fruits”. In the period 2010-2020, PhD. Do Van Truong and colleagues have discovered and described 1 genus and 28 new species of higher plants for world science, of which 1 genus and 22 species were discovered and described in Vietnam. Also in the period from 2010-2020, PhD. Do Van Truong and colleagues have published a total of 26 scientific works describing new plant species in international journals. In which, 23 works were published in prestigious international magazines. According to TS. Do Van Truong, research to discover and describe new species for science, especially newly discovered species in Vietnam is of great significance. The first is to highlight the role and importance of biodiversity in Vietnam, which is a solid scientific basis for classification for conservation and application research. learning, probiotics …). In addition, scientists initially researched, propagated and successfully conserved a number of new species. This is an important basis to conduct research activities to develop precious plant genetic resources in Vietnam for the needs of use (medicinal herbs, ornamental plants, food for insects …), making an important contribution to the process. process of conservation and sustainable development of wild plant species. There are many concerns Being enthusiastic and pursuing plant research for many years, PhD. Do Van Truong said that he himself still has a lot of concerns. “Vietnam is a country with high biodiversity, but we do not have an in-depth research program on Vietnam’s flora. This is very unfortunate. We hope that there will be a unit with sufficient expertise and international relations to conduct a methodical and extensive research on the flora of Vietnam ”, PhD. Do Van Truong confided. One more concern of TS. Do Van Truong, that is attracting young people to participate in plant research. Part of the reason is that basic research is always a “silent” industry that has not been given adequate attention and investment. Moreover, the difficult life makes many young people who graduated from school are not eager to do research but turn to another direction. “If this situation continues, not knowing after 10-20 years, who will we marry to continue our work”.

The application of scientific advances in agricultural production is an inevitable trend to reduce labor force and increase crop productivity in order to bring about high economic efficiency. In particular, the use of drones (drones) to spray plant protection drugs (BVTV) in Long Dien district initially showed effectiveness not only in production, but also contributing to protecting the health of farmers. . Farmers watched the demonstration of flying equipment spraying pesticides by the District Farmers Association in coordination with SNEWRICE JSC to perform the winter-spring crop 2020-2021 on the fields of An Nhut commune. 30% DISCOUNT OF Pesticides The device for spraying pesticides for plants is unfamiliar to many farmers in the province, but to farmers in Long Dien district, this device is quite familiar. In the Winter-Spring crop of 2020-2021, the District Farmers Association in collaboration with SNEWRICE Joint Stock Company (Ho Chi Minh City) held a demonstration of spraying pesticides by drone on more than 30 hectares of rice in An Nhut commune (the company supports 100 % injection). This form initially shows practical effectiveness and promises to be able to deploy on a large scale in the near future. This is also an activity in the project of implementing high technology application in agricultural cultivation, improving production efficiency for farmers. With drones, the droplets coming out of the nozzle are very small and smooth, helping the farmer reduce the actual amount of water needed while ensuring even surface spread and high efficiency. The spraying of pesticides on rice by drones also increases labor productivity by 15-30 times, shortens the spraying time per unit area; 30% reduction in pesticides compared to conventional spraying. Witnessing the spraying equipment in the field with his own eyes, Mr. Huynh Van Manh (An Lac hamlet, An Nhut commune) said that in the past, he sprayed pesticides with a bottle on his back. Although he is equipped with protective equipment such as raincoats, gloves, and boots, he cannot avoid inhaling the smell of medicine. In this Winter – Spring season, he registered with the Farmers’ Association to spray pesticides with drones on his family’s 4ha of rice. “With the manual spraying method, for each hectare of rice, I have to pay 400 thousand dong to hire labor. In the Winter – Spring crop 2020-2021, I spray with a drone, the cost is lower, only 350 thousand VND / ha, and the amount of medicine is reduced by nearly 30%. So I will use drones to spray drugs in the coming rice crops, ”said Manh. According to Huynh Trung Thanh, Director of An Nhut Agriculture – Service Cooperative, spraying with drones saves water and pesticides while reducing rice yield loss by 150-200 kg / ha compared to conventional spraying. rice is not stepped on like when sprayed with a can. “On the fields of An Nhut cooperative, farmers linked production and cultivated simultaneously on an area of ​​more than 200 hectares, so the use of drones to spray pesticides is very effective,” said Thanh. for more info. Using drones to spray pesticides helps to save production costs, reduce the impact of pesticides on the environment and affect water and soil sources. ESTABLISHMENT OF HIGH-TECH AGRICULTURAL CO-operative Over the past years, farmers in Long Dien district have applied agricultural mechanization and brought higher efficiency in production; Contribute to agricultural restructuring, improve the quality of agricultural products and increase profits. However, the application of flying equipment in spraying, fertilizing … is still limited due to large investment costs. According to Mr. Huynh Van So, Vice Chairman of Farmers Association of Long Dien district, the spraying of pesticides with drones has shown many benefits to the fields in An Nhut commune. Therefore, on April 15, the District Farmers Association cooperated with the TT.Long Dien Farmers’ Association to set up Green Leaf High-tech Agricultural Cooperative. The cooperative has 7 members, specializing in providing services and applying science and technology in agricultural production. “Since the use of drones in agriculture in Long Dien district is relatively new, the District Farmers Union will coordinate with SNEWRICE JSC to disseminate this technique step by step. Step one, the company will make drone spraying service for farmers. Step two, proceed to training and implementation in cooperatives. Then, when the effectiveness has been verified over time, the Farmers’ Union levels will be massively deployed in the fields of An Nhut, An Ngai and Tam Phuoc communes, ”said Mr. So. The adoption of drones for agricultural production is an important transition in accelerating the mechanization of the agricultural sector. This step contributes to promoting competitive advantages, improving the efficiency and quality of agricultural products and increasing farmers’ income.

The seeds are prepared. According to Ms. Trieu Thi Tiep in 2 Tuc village, Phuc Loi commune, Luc Yen district, Yen Bai province: By the day of good luck, people must prepare all kinds of seeds such as maize, rice, gourd, pumpkin, sesame, peanuts, beans, beans … and these seeds are put into the pan to cook so that the pests harmful to the plant will be eliminated. “Since ancient times, the Red Dao people have had a strict etiquette. Waking days often have to get up earlier than usual and prepare all the seeds that the family often sow in a pan to roast with the meaning of killing insects while still in the egg so that there is no muscle. The association broke out, causing damage to plants ”, – Ms. Trieu Thi Tiep said. After being roasted, the seeds can be eaten and spread to vegetable gardens and rice fields to see off pests. The hand spread the seeds while saying, “Today is a good day, the family has fully prepared the seeds and also done the eradication of pests. So I would like to send off the pests that are not harmful to the family plant ”. Get rid of pests by roasting the seeds. After completing this work, the new woman and her family have breakfast before going to farm work. The hard days are not the same as those of the Yen Bai Red Dao such as: abstaining from the god of thunder, the god of the wind or abstaining from tigers …, people are not allowed to do farm work, but only rest at home. , visit friends, neighbors, and especially do not make any loud noises. On the contrary, after completing the strict procedures, people still continue to do their daily jobs. “The grinds are not strict, like the great taboo days like the god of thunder, the god of the wind, or the day of abstaining from the tiger. On a good day, the family still goes to work normally, but before going to work, it is necessary to eliminate pests, that is, to roast all the seeds that the family has planted. This practice is still practiced by family and neighbors every year, ”added Thieu Thi Sinh, Lung Ha Hamlet, Phuc Loi Commune, Luc Yen District, Yen Bai Province. Nowadays, science and technology have been more developed, Yen Bai Red Dao people also know how to apply technical advances in preventing harmful pests and diseases, increasing crop productivity and quality. However, the strict tradition is still promoted by the Dao people here, such as reminding their children and grandchildren about a way to protect plants against the harm of their fellow pests from ancient times./.

When the movement of young workers to big cities for work takes place quickly, it leaves a “headache” about human resources serving agricultural production. Modern machine tools are considered as the optimal solution to solve the problem of lack of manual labor in the field. To solve the problem of sowing, seeding machines, rice transplanting machines gradually replace. To deal with the harvest, combine harvester is widely used. For post-harvest preservation, large capacity drying systems are utilized, farmers sell fresh rice directly instead of exposing themselves to sun drying as before … Drone demonstration workshop in Vong Dong commune (Thoai Son) However, although machines support many stages, but with rice care tasks, such as weeding, mixing, fertilizing, spraying pesticides … still need a lot of manual labor. “Each rice crop must be sprayed with many drugs, not to mention the pest must increase the number of sprays. My family cultivates 3ha of land, employs 2 people to spray it for more than half a day, and has to supervise to make sure they spray the fields. The rice was being sprayed in the seed, the rice was trampled down, the recovery was slow, and it looked pity. These days, when it is urgent, it is not easy to find someone to spray drugs ”- said farmer Tran Van Minh (Vong The commune, Thoai Son). For the pesticide spray problem, the use of Drones (unmanned aircraft) as a salvage. Farmer Phan Thanh Bac (Vong Dong commune, Thoai Son) said that his family has more than 5 hectares of rice land, each time he hires someone to spray it is very difficult and takes a lot of time, so he has invested more than half a billion dong to buy Drones. both used for home fields and hired by pesticide spraying services. According to Mr. Bac, if the person carrying the sprayer can take 2-3 hours to finish spraying 1ha of land, with Drone, it only takes … 8 minutes. “Since the introduction of the Drone into the field, it helps to reduce a lot of labor, reduce costs but increase rice yield. Less than 1 year, I have been spraying pesticides for more than 3,200 ha of rice farmers in the district. With the cost of spraying 180,000 VND / ha, after deducting all the costs, I have recovered the capital to buy the original Drone ”- Mr. Bac said. As expected, Mr. Bac will invest in buying an additional drone to expand pesticide spraying service. Need to support farmers Ngoc Anh Food Company Limited (Thoai Son) is a distributor, maintenance and training drone for Dai Thanh Joint Stock Company. Director of Ngoc Anh Food Company Limited Cao Van Tan said that over the past 1 year, the company sold 9 P-GLOALCHECK pesticide spraying aircraft to farmers in the province. Because the selling price is still quite high (from 534-609 million VND / machine), it is mainly sold to farmers with a large field area, first serving their home, then spraying pesticides service. Through practical assessment, Drones can reduce the loss of 30% of pesticides in spraying, reduce labor by about 20 times, save 95-97% of water, limit environmental pollution and more importantly, farmers do not continue. Direct contact with pesticides such as spraying should limit health effects. The special feature of the Drone provided by Dai Thanh is a versatile machine that is not fussy about drugs (dissolved powder, water or oil emulsion), applying centrifugal spray technology to bring high accuracy. The particle when coming out of the nozzle is very small and smooth, helping to reduce the actual amount of water needed while ensuring even surface spread. Centrifugal spray technology makes water droplets swirl, making the contact with pests on the underside of the leaves more effective, the ability to concentrate Drone to spray the drug quickly. Drones are also capable of spraying at night, accurately spraying with the control of on-board spray technology, pest diagnosis application to synchronize data with the aircraft to automatically spray into the pest area. Using Drones, it helps to reduce the losses of 150-200 kg rice / ha compared to conventional spraying because the rice is not trampled. Mr. Vo Thanh Manh (Deputy Head of Technical Department, An Giang Agricultural Extension Center) said that An Giang is the province with the second largest rice production area in the Mekong Delta. agricultural concern. Especially, for nearly 2 years now, the technology of unmanned aircraft spraying pesticides on rice and fruit trees has started to develop quite strongly. This is an activity in the project of implementing high technology application in agricultural cultivation, improving production efficiency for farmers in the province. Although the utility of the Drones has been proven, the problem is that the price of Drones is still high, many farmers are difficult to access. To expand the area served by Drone, it is necessary to have policies for farmers to borrow loans to support interest rates or business units to coordinate with banks to support capital for farmers. That is also how to solve the problem of lack of human resources in agriculture today.

Accordingly, the enterprise plans to submit a plan to supplement the wireless telecommunication industry; other monetary intermediary activities (Details: Carrying out banking services through a digital environment); Other financial services activities are not elsewhere classified (except insurance and social insurance). Enterprises said additional reasons for convenience in implementing cooperation activities with partners to maximize services provided to customers. In 2021, FPT Retail expects revenue of 16,400 billion dong, pre-tax profit of 120 billion dong, up by 12% and 320% respectively compared to the implementation in 2020. In 2021, the business plans to continue focusing on increasing sales of the store system by introducing new products and services such as implementing co-branded sim services; open 68 more Laptop centers; New products like watches, surface … In the pharmaceutical market, the company is expected to account for about 30% of the market share of the pharmaceutical retail channel through pharmacies in the next 2 years, the pharmaceutical segment will contribute about 25% of the total revenue of the company at more than VND 5,000 billion. . At the close of the session on April 23, FRT shares rose 300 dong to 28,300 dong per share.

Translator | Sambodhi Planning | Liu Yan In the programmer community, there is such a special group-blind programmers. Blind programmers rely on screen readers, braille displays, etc. to help write code. And for those programmers who suffer from hand diseases, they can’t use the keyboard, how to program? From speech to code : There are two leading language programming platforms today, which provide different ways to “reciting” codes to the computer. One of them is called Serenade, which is a bit like a digital assistant: it allows you to describe the instructions you are writing code without requiring you to dictate each instruction verbatim; the other is called Talon, which provides more fine-grained control over each line. It also requires a more detailed understanding of each task programmed into the computer. A simple example in this article is a step-by-step guide for generating Python code in Serenade and Talon, which will print “hello” on the screen. Through conversations with gadgets, we communicate with them Interactions are becoming more frequent . Nowadays, old friends like Alexa and Siri have joined the ranks of car assistants like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and even joined apps that are sensitive to voice biometrics and commands. But what if the technology itself can be built with voice? That is the premise of voice programming. Voice programming is a software development method that uses voice instead of keyboard and mouse to write code. On the voice programming platform, programmers “speak” commands to manipulate the code, creating custom commands that adapt and automatically execute the workflow. Voice programming is not as simple as it seems, there are many complicated technologies behind it. For example, Serenade, a speech programming application, has a speech-to-text engine developed specifically for code. Unlike Google’s speech-to-text API, it is designed for conversational speech. When the software engineer speaks the code, Serenade’s engine feeds it back to the natural language processing layer, and its machine learning model is trained to recognize and convert common programming structures into syntactically effective code. Serenade raised $2.1 million in its seed round in 2020. When co-founder Matt Wiethoff was diagnosed with repetitive force injury (RSI) in 2019. Common occupational diseases), Serenade came into being. “I gave up my position as a software engineer at Quora because I can’t do this job anymore,” he said. “Either choose a job that doesn’t have to type so many words, or come up with some solutions.” Ryan Hileman also followed the same path. After suffering from hand pain a year ago, he quit his full-time job as a software engineer in 2017. So Hileman started to create Talon, a hands-free programming platform. He said: “Talon’s purpose is to completely replace the keyboard and mouse.” Talon has several components: speech recognition, eye tracking, and noise recognition. Talon’s speech recognition engine is based on Facebook’s Wav2letter automatic speech recognition system, which Hileman has expanded to adapt to voice programming commands. At the same time, Talon’s eye tracking and noise recognition functions can simulate using a mouse to navigate, move the cursor on the screen according to eye movements, and click according to the popping sound of the mouth. “This kind of sound is easy to make. This method is effortless and only requires a low delay to be recognized, so this nonverbal way of clicking the mouse is faster and does not cause sound fatigue.” Hileman said. Programming with Talon sounds like speaking in another language, software engineer and speech programmer Emily Shea said during a conference speech in 2019. Her speech video is full of voice commands, such as “slap” (click enter), “undo” (delete), “spring 3” (go to the third line of the file), and “phrase name op equals snake extract word paren mad” (the result is this line of code: name = extract_word(m)). When programming with Serenade, it follows a more natural way of speaking code. You can say “delete import” to delete the import instructions at the top of the file, or “build” to run custom build commands. You can also say “Add function factorial” to create a function, calculate the factorial in JavaScript, and the application will process the syntax-including the “function” keyword, parentheses and braces-so you don’t need to explicitly declare each element. Voice programming does require a decent microphone, especially when you want to remove background noise. Serenade’s model is trained based on the audio generated by the microphone on the laptop. If you want to run Talon with eye tracking, you also need eye tracking hardware. However, Talon can operate normally without such hardware. Open source speech programming platforms, such as Aenea and Caster, are free, but they all rely on the Dragon speech recognition engine and users must purchase them by themselves. This means that Caster supports Kaldi and Windows speech recognition, the former is an open source speech recognition toolkit, and the latter is pre-installed on Windows. Tommy MacWilliam, co-founder of Serenade Labs, said these results are sufficient to illustrate the problem. “It’s so simple to be able to describe what you want to do,” he said. “Compared with typing or pressing keyboard shortcuts, saying’move these three lines down’ or’duplicate this method’ will be smoother.” Voice programming can also allow those with injuries or chronic pain to continue their careers. “Being able to use voice, just remove my arm from the equation, and you can open up a less restrictive way to use the computer.” Shea said. Programming through voice can also lower the barriers to entry for software development. “If they can think about the code they want to write in a logical and structured way,” MacWilliam said, “then we can make machine learning the last mile and turn these ideas into syntactically effective code.” Voice programming is still in its infancy, and whether it can be widely adopted also depends on the extent to which software engineers are bound to the traditional keyboard and mouse coding mode. But language programming has given us all kinds of possibilities. Perhaps in the future, brain-computer interfaces will directly convert what you want into code, or the software itself. about the author Rina Diane Caballar, a reporter, worked as a software engineer and lives in Wellington, New Zealand. https://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/software/programming-by-voice-may-be-the-next-frontier-in-software-development

The program offers 26 promising rice varieties for farmers to choose Most of the varieties selected are adapted to climate change After visiting the fields, the program interviewed farmers to know how they chose rice varieties Farmers answered the questions of the program The characteristics of promising rice varieties are hard, high yield, good quality rice, meeting export demand This is a cooperation program between Can Tho University and An Giang province in the current period. This cooperation aims to help 224 seed groups in the province, select and create promising rice varieties, and then the program supports farmers to do the following procedures, proposing to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. receiving nationwide circulation. The program gave 26 promising rice varieties for farmers to choose. Accordingly, the majority of farmers choose rice varieties 1,2, 9 and 26. On the basis of the evaluation of promising rice varieties, the institute will do the following procedures to support farmers to carry out the manual procedures. received nationwide circulation and named new rice varieties.

New sunshine resounded in me a region of distant childhood memories in my beloved hometown. The internal shadow suddenly appeared in the nostalgia that was deeply embedded in the subconscious, just a light touch was sobbing and tearing.

Every time the sun dances, cheers filled the yard, he brought blankets and cold clothes to wash, filled with clothesline, hedge. The vibrant colors of the floral blouses and fragrant soap invite bees and butterflies to fly home.

The paternal body is undulating, undulating, white hat, algae like many women from my hometown. In love, his daughter-in-law struggled in the field early into the night, so she took all the housework to go home. Grandpa was excited and cheerful, so he praised the new sun, but it was golden and fragrant, but he did not let my sisters run and jump in the sun.

I wondered that while my grandfather chewed betel nut, he said “if children do not adapt in time, they easily get heatstroke and headaches”. The Cabinet only allowed us to clean and scrub every corner of the three-room tiled house. The windows that were closed during the monsoon season were suddenly opened to welcome new sunshine into the house like welcoming guests for a long time.

As the grandchildren cleaned up the house one day, the whole house was lit up and had a strange smell. Looking through the window, a clear sky appeared before my eyes. I spread my small hands through the bars to catch the sun. I wish I could fly up like a chili dragonfly out there.

At the end of the day, the cabinet picks all kinds of grass leaves available in the home garden from basil, amnesty, grapefruit leaves, betel grass to bamboo leaves, chrysanthemum … boil a pot of fragrant water to bathe and scrub the children. I splashed the perfume on my face and on my body while inhaling the rich scent, questioning it.

How pleasant and refreshing, it feels like I have been emptied of the dust that has accumulated for days to become pure and pure. My hair is black, shiny, and always in the country thanks to her loving, caring hands.

But then, the new sunny seasons on that childhood day only flicker in nostalgia and are replaced by distant dreams. I left my hometown to do floods, goodbye to the laborious fields of rice and potatoes to go to school in the prosperous city, carrying my own beliefs and hopes for a “life change”.

The chaos and chaos, the hustle and bustle have taken up all the time to return to my hometown. The fascinating fun, the full bustle has kept me from staying in the flashy city. The four seasons passed like a passerby.

I happen to be in front of the changing seasons. I am indifferent before every new sunny season. I forgot the whole pot of water with fragrant leaves in the garden. Only when my mother called to urgently say, “Go home, baby, my grandfather is seriously ill”, I startled.

I returned, rushing into the inner bed like a wind. Holding my bony hand, my gut and intestines tighten. Noi goes as fast as the end of the day. The inner realm of purity, lightness like a fairy left a painful feeling in me.

Thank you very much in the following seasons, no longer paternal grandpa! But since then I always come back, sitting on the steps of the house waiting for the sun, watching the figure of my mother drying clothes and remembering the inner year. Outside, the new sun is burning …

The “expensive” point is the view of the rice fields and the fresh air of the countryside, especially during the ripe rice season. Looking down from above, you can see the undulating “sea of ​​rice” and far away are the peaceful folds of the people of Quang. It is still the old tiled roof, tinged with the color of time, still a row of green areca in front of the alley, still a small path beside the simple and simple field. All are so familiar to the heart!

The menu of the restaurant is simple with drinks that are simply prepared such as coffee, sugarcane juice, peach tea, white-seed frost, … with super cheap prices.
