Two of China’s top track and field athletes were among 21 people who died due to extreme weather during a 100km race in Gansu province on May 22. Those are two names that are no longer strange in the world of athletics: Luong Tinh, a super-marathon champion, and Hoang Quan Quan, a deaf long-distance runner. “We have lost the masters of this sport. This is an earthquake for our sport,” wrote one Weibo user. Luong Tinh in an earlier race in Hong Kong. Photo: Sportograf. Athletes had a hard time when the race was interrupted by temperatures dropping to freezing. Survivors said the weather forecast said there would be wind and rain, but did not mention anything as extreme as what they experienced. The mountain race had to be stopped when some of the 172 runners went missing, and a major rescue operation was launched. The regional government was heavily criticized for not having a contingency plan. China’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said that some local officials had put profit above safety, which led to the tragedy that left 21 people dead. Great loss Luong Tinh is one of China’s most successful ultra-marathon runners and is fondly called “Saint Liang” or “General Liang” because of his ability. The 31-year-old has won many long-distance races in the country, including the Ultra Gobi in 2018 – a 400 km race through the Gobi desert. According to pictures taken near the start of the race on May 22, which were widely circulated on Chinese media, he was only wearing shorts, a light jacket and a cap.

Photo: Weibo. On Chinese social media, fans mourned his death, describing it as a “huge loss” for the country. “Without General Salary leading the way, who will the other super marathoners look to?”, one commented. Another victim, Hoang Quan Quan, 34, is known for winning the deaf men’s marathon at China’s 2019 National Paralympic Games. According to local media, he is a native of Sichuan, became deaf at the age of one after a “drug accident”, and also cannot speak. He did not excel in his studies and struggled to get a steady job. He often had financial difficulties and had to eat instant noodles for a meal. But what he does best is run, so he competed in races for years in hopes of winning the prize money. The May 22 race rewards runners 1,600 yuan ($248) each if they complete the run. Local media reported that after learning of his death, a friend of Hoang Quan Quan cried thinking about what he may have suffered in his final moments of life. “He’s deaf and can’t speak, he can’t even call for help,” said the unnamed friend. What happened at the race? On social networks are appearing more and more sharing about this race. The race starts at 9am on May 22. One survivor said the weather forecast caught them off guard. He felt that the weather was not normal that day, but the participants were not wearing warm enough clothes, many of them wearing short clothes. “I ran 2 km before starting to warm up… but the problem is that after running this 2 km, my body still hasn’t heated up,” the contestant said on her WeChat account. About three hours after the race started, the mountain track area of ​​the race experienced hail, heavy rain and high winds, causing temperatures to plummet, according to officials in the nearby city of Baiyin. A runner named Mao Shuzhi told Reuters : “The rain was getting heavier and heavier, at that time I had run about 24 km and had not reached the mountain.” She decided to go back to the hotel, and had been struggling with severe hypothermia on the way back. “At first, I regretted it, thinking it might just be a shower, but when I saw the gusts of wind and the big storm through my hotel room window when I returned, I felt so lucky because decided to come back.” Many athletes were stranded, cold and lost their way due to the weather affecting visibility. Rescue crews at the scene. Photo: AFP. An unnamed runner quoted by The Cover described the freezing rain as “bullets in the face”. He said there was a particularly steep section of the mountain and the open ground had nowhere to hide. “The rain really hurt, and the wind was so strong that you had to close your eyes,” he said. He added that even if someone brought a thermal blanket, it would be ripped apart by strong winds. Some of the runners who ran further fell off the trail into deep ravines. It is unclear how many of them survived. State media said a rescue operation involving more than 1,200 people with the help of thermal imaging drones and radar detectors had been launched. But rescue efforts have come too late for many victims. The incident has sparked public outrage on Chinese social media, mainly aimed at the Baiyin government and condemning the organizers’ lack of contingency plans. At a press conference on May 23, Mayor of Baiyin, Zhang Xuchen – who also fired the starting shot of the race – said: “As the organizers of the event, we feel guilty and We express our deepest condolences and sympathies to the families of the victims and those injured.”

Optimism about the future While thousands of New Yorkers are suffering long-term health and economic impacts, and most offices are still empty due to the epidemic, things are returning to normal. This makes people optimistic about the future of the city – which suffered the hardest and earliest battle with Covid-19 in the US. After several months of scarcity and difficulty booking vaccination appointments, it is now easy for anyone to do so. By far, it’s the fun things that come back the fastest and most powerful. Over the past few months, Christina Hansen (40), a New York City coach driver for the past nine years, has picked up tourists from California, Texas, Florida and North Carolina. “There is still less work than before, but we are fine.

At the Reservoir bar and restaurant in Greenwich Village, locals have to wait about 30 minutes for a table. This place reopened in February, after being closed for almost a year. Another key factor to New York’s return is tourism. The city expects domestic tourism to recover in 2023. Total visitors will surpass the pre-pandemic level of 66.6 million/year by 2024. Devin Cooper (25 years old, living in Los Angeles) immediately booked a flight to New York when he learned that his company allowed employees to travel without being quarantined. He plans to come here in mid-May, when vaccinations are more complete. While it may not be possible to experience some of the city’s famous activities, Cooper says there’s still a lot to see and do. “New York doesn’t seem to have died. This time, I can’t watch Broadway shows and dine outside of restaurants, but it’s a small price to pay for safety during the pandemic,” he said. Slowly recovering Even as most of the art, dining and entertainment life that characterizes New York reopens, the future of work culture, as well as the fate of millions of square feet of office space, remains uncertain. . The subways are far from full, although they will reopen 24/7 hours from May 17, NBC New York news.

This used to be a prime location that helped him sell about 500 cups of coffee a day. Now, he only sells about 30 cups. “This place is deserted, there are no people,” Naveed explained. During the pandemic, one store after another seemed to be empty. The sector is recovering fast, but it is still far behind. However, between May 2020 and February 2021, 67% of retail jobs, including restaurants, returned to New York state, according to the New York state executive’s office.

According to real estate data firm UrbanDigs, new active listings have dropped, monthly leases are increasing, and prices appear to have bottomed out. The number of apartments for rent in New York City is more than double what it was before the pandemic, while maintaining low prices, data from real estate firm StreetEasy shows. StreetEasy economist Nancy Wu said: “The increase in remote work has changed the minds of many renters. Instead of seriously looking for apartments in Manhattan with a short drive to the office, they can afford to explore a host of other neighborhoods in boroughs that might not have been considered before.” Donovan Davis, 24, of Staten Island, waited in line in front of the Supreme store on Bowery Street for about 15 minutes to view the new spring collection and purchase the backpack. Davis was recently vaccinated. Stuck at home for the past year, he didn’t really want to shop until now. “The weather is warming up. I finally started going out and shopping.” Donovan Davis outside the Supreme store in New York on April 30. He only goes out shopping when he is vaccinated. Photo: Misyrlena Egkolfopoulou/Bloomberg. New Yorkers used to not appreciate the crowdedness of the city. The subway isn’t as busy as it used to be. But David felt the city was still alive and slowly returning to normal. “Every time I go out, it’s nice to see that there are still so many people there,” he said.

Inside the tunnel under the house of Gary and Beth Machens Couple Gary and Beth Machens living in Alton, Illinois moved to a new home in December 2020. But until recently, during repairs they suddenly discovered a tunnel from the 19th century just below their house. Gary Machens said he had to remove part of the stone wall on the sidewalk for repairs and then he discovered the entrance to a tunnel. Beth Machens said: “He called me at work and told me I quickly arranged to go home right away because he just found something I would never have imagined.” The tunnel is about 2.7 meters high and at least 18 meters deep. The landlord contacted the local authorities. Historians in the area estimate that the tunnel was built in 1840, about 50 years before the house was built, but they have not determined the original purpose of this underground structure. The archway of the tunnel was built of limestone, while the walls were made of bricks, the floors were mostly earth and stone with many pieces of wood scattered throughout the passage. According to the Landmark Historical Association, the tunnel is a unique and impressive work. There are already a few tunnels around the Alton area. “Maybe the old days used the tunnel as a bank or underground railway. There is no concrete evidence of these but there is a ferry in the Alton area to the Missouri side,” said Gary Machens. According to Gary Machens, the house was originally designed by architect Lucas Pfeiffenberger, the 25th mayor of Alton. He built the house for Captain Henry Brueggeman, who would later become the 27th mayor of Alton. In the 1920s, the house was owned by William H. Neerman, a carpet dealer in Alton. Paul Lenz, another Alton mayor, lived in the house many years later. Machens said: “The three former mayors of Alton used to live in this house many years ago. I don’t know if any of them know this. The house was built in 1890, the tunnel could be made from. year 1840. No one knows what the tunnel was for, but it certainly took a lot of hours of labor and the effort of a lot of people.We have a map of the area in 1863 but this house was not there at the time. There are also no other houses on the property. ” A lover of history, Machens said he wants to keep the mysteries of the past and present. The Machens hope to preserve the tunnel, and if the city or someone else helps with logistics and costs, the couple will open tours for visitors.

A treasure discovery site with lots of gold bars and gold coins is located inside an old house in the town of Morez in the Jurassic region, eastern France. According to experts, all of the old metal belonged to a wealthy merchant family in the area at that time. However, the last life of the family had no children. Mayor Laurent Petit said the three-storey building in the center of town was home to four brothers and sisters without children. The last one passed away at the age of 90 last year. Then, the property’s legal heir did not use the house and sold it to the city hall for more than $ 156,000. The old house has been abandoned for a long time on a land called Maison Jobez by the locals. Recently, the town hall staff conducted a house cleaning to prepare for the city renewal campaign when they discovered the treasure full of gold. They discovered gold in two separate waves. Specifically, for the first time, employees found 5 boxes of gold bars and coins worth more than $ 600,000 on the back of a dusty shelf. A second time, when opening a locked safe in the closet, the staff found gold coins worth about $ 180,000. Mayor Laurent Petit said: “The local government was extremely confused and surprised to find so many gold bars and gold coins. None of us had ever held a gold bar. We just saw it in the pictures and thought that the gold bar must be very large, but here each one weighs only about 1 kg, the size of a cigarette pack “. The town hall intends to use the gold in this surprise treasure to reinvest back into the development of the area. Mayor Laurent Petit shared that the original home seller knew inside the three-story house contained treasure but believed it was gone. Mayor Laurent Petit said: “In the house is full of furniture and there have been several generations living without throwing anything away.”

For Sonia Philipse, the owner of a restaurant in Amsterdam, the absence of crowds makes her city more peaceful and beautiful than ever before. “At this point, we are looking forward to the return of tourists. But I think there was a time when people were really happy that the city was so quiet, ”Philipse said. Amsterdam’s red light district before and after the outbreak of Covid-19. Over the years, Amsterdam has tried to reconcile becoming a vibrant international hub without affecting residents’ lives and not ignoring the inherent freedom and popularity. Now, with the number of tourists still meager, the leaders of Amsterdam are trying to put new restrictions on three important issues: short-term renting, sex tourism and selling marijuana to traveler. This is all to ensure that the “ingrained” problems stemming from tourism no longer arise when tourists return. The above measures make the Netherlands one of the pioneering countries in Europe to adopt a practical approach to tourism management. However, even as many locals enjoy the peaceful Amsterdam atmosphere, some disagree with the city’s strategies. Need to change Complaints from the people of Amsterdam started to rise up in 2013, when tourism fully recovered from the 2008 financial crisis. Locals lament that tourists are noisy and disruptive in the city center, disrespecting prostitutes, short-term renting a house that drives up property prices and controlling some of the most beautiful, historic areas of the city. city. “The tourist economy does more damage to locals than adds value,” said Geerte Udo, director of Amsterdam & Partners, a nonprofit that manages city tourism. We need to change everything in the city center if we want to bring balance to life, employment and renewal. The boats were deserted in central Amsterdam on a recent evening. Prior to the pandemic, city leaders came up with a number of measures to try to minimize problems stemming from tourism, including a ban on guided tours to Red Light Street, banning visitors New hotels in the city center, increased tourism taxes, banned new shops serving tourists. Since 2014, Amsterdam has stopped promoting itself as a destination in new overseas markets. Instead, the city’s marketing department guided and managed all visitors to the city. However, even with those measures, tourism continues to grow. In 2019, articles criticized the surge in tourist arrivals in Amsterdam, Venice and Barcelona as prime examples of over-tourism in Europe. Sex, cannabis and “monoculture” Since the outbreak of the pandemic, leaders of Amsterdam, led by mayor Femke Halsema, have continued to push for tourism regulation, focusing on Red Light Street – the ancient area of ​​central Amsterdam and the magnet attracts tourists. On a typical Saturday night before, Red Light Street blows young men from bar to bar, be it entering sex shops, cafes or staring at the flower girl is showing off her figure by the window. In a letter to the city council in July 2019, Mayor Femke Halsema said: “The public spaces dominated by businesses are mostly rape, drugs and alcohol. The number of tourists is constantly increasing, depraved behavior, shrinking retail structure, rising property prices, commercialization of public spaces and crime control all require measures ” . In addition, Ms. Halsema proposed four scenarios for the future of sex work in Red Light Street (prostitution is legal and regulated in the Netherlands). One is the transfer of all sex workers to “prostitution hotels” elsewhere in the city. However, the proposal was not fully approved. An employee stood outside a cafe on the Red Light Street. Another interesting proposal from the mayor’s office would prevent visitors from buying marijuana at cafes in Amsterdam, which are concentrated in Red Light Street. Last summer, in the face of complaints, the city issued a complete ban on all short-term rental services in three downtown districts, including the Red Light Street. Victor Everhardt, the deputy mayor of Amsterdam, said the measures are in line with the practical Dutch approach to solving the problems. However, some of the proposed measures are also controversial. Irina, a spokesman for PROUD, a coalition of about 300 prostitutes across the Netherlands, said the idea of ​​moving prostitutes away from Red Light Street was widely opposed. “The problem is not with prostitutes. We have lived in one area for centuries. The problem is that the number of tourists coming to Amsterdam is booming. They come for many reasons, ”she said. Irina added that instead of focusing on prostitutes, the government should have more police on the streets, while at the same time increasing enforcement of current regulations against urination, drunkenness and public disorder. plus. “Prostitutes are being seen as scapegoats, along with cafes, for causing problems that they never did,” she said. Royal Palace on March 26. The square, which is bustling with tourists, has been deserted since the pandemic broke out. Similarly, the mayor’s recent proposal to ban cafes in Amsterdam from selling cannabis to tourists was also opposed. Historically, tourists and locals have frequented the city’s 167 licensed cafes to relax, socialize, play board games and smoke marijuana – classified for fish use. people in the Netherlands. Joachim Helms, cafe owner and spokesperson for the Association of Dutch Cannabis Retailers, said the proposed ban would force visitors to buy cannabis on the street. That could cause them to be taken advantage of, as well as damage the reputation of Amsterdam. Roy Van Kempen (31 years old), marketing director living in Amsterdam since 2008, said: “Paris has the Eiffel Tower. We have a Red Light District. I really didn’t want any disturbance in the city, ”he said. Irina, Helms, Van Kempen and many others in Amsterdam agree that the city center has a big problem: A “monoculture” tourism has taken root and residents are being pushed out. Businesses and services that used to serve locals (high-end bakeries, butcher shops …) have been replaced by jewelry shops, ice cream parlors and take-away waffles … mainly aimed at tourists. Meanwhile, rising housing prices (partly due to the development of Airbnb and other rental platforms) have left many locals unable to afford to stay in the city center. “This monoculture issue has come to the fore in the past year,” said Geerte Udo, adding that she was influenced by the feeling of desolation in the city center during the pandemic. , especially compared to other areas of Amsterdam. “This really opened my eyes. There are not enough people living and working in the city center to regain the liveliness when tourists are gone, ”said Udo.

Images of hundreds of people without masks crowded together at Santa Monica pier and watching street performances on Venice’s walkway have raised fears that California spring break could go out of control. This case happened in the city of Miami Beach, Florida. On March 20, Mr. Dan Gelber, mayor of Miami Beach, declared a state of emergency because of the huge wave of tourists flocking here. After more than a year spending more time at home than on the street, many people are eager to party in the sun when summer comes. However, wearing a mask and exercising social distance makes the fun even more fading. Covid-19 vaccination is underway as planned. According to the The Guardian about 50% of adults in the City of Los Angeles have received at least one shot. However, local health authorities warn that it is too early for the public to lose their guard. Barbara Ferrer, Los Angeles’ public health director, advises people during this time not to rush to travel and gather large numbers of people. However, some leaders want to lift pandemic restrictions to restart the economy as soon as possible. Many people flock to famous places in California. Photo: The Guardian. Several theme parks reopened this week. Outdoor bars and bowling alley will be allowed to resume operations in Los Angeles on April 5. “Every indicator we are monitoring locally is on the right track. Everything is very good, ”Eric Garcetti, mayor of Los Angeles, said during a press conference on 29/3. In it he just mentioned briefly about the things that need to be done for spring break. With the current situation, Rochelle Walensky, director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has a contrary opinion with Mr. Garcetti. New infections are on the rise again, she said. The country is in danger of losing its advantage in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic when a new variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads rapidly. Over the weekend, 100,000 people visited the famous pier in Santa Monica without any anti-epidemic measures. Santa Monica city leaders are planning to limit the number of people on the pier by not accepting visitors before 3 hours of closing. They also run the program “Health Ambassadors”, recruiting people to remind visitors to wear masks.
