　　"Being kind to the earth, protecting resources and the environment and realizing sustainable development is a long-term and arduous task for our country, and it is also a big issue related to the success or failure of our province’s reform, opening up and socialist modernization."

　　On April 22, 2002, the then Supreme Leader of the Governor of Fujian Province published a signed article in Fujian Daily, "Protect Resources and Treat the Earth Well — — Commemorate the 33rd "Earth Day". In his article, he emphasized to intensify his work for the benefit of future generations.

　　Protecting the ecological environment and coping with climate change are common challenges facing all mankind.

　　On April 22nd, three years ago, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader attended the Leaders’ Climate Summit in Beijing by video and delivered an important speech. For the first time, he comprehensively and systematically explained the concept of the community between man and nature, put forward a Chinese plan for strengthening global environmental governance, and called for "we should protect the natural and ecological environment like protecting our eyes, and promote the formation of a new pattern of harmonious coexistence between man and nature".

△ On the evening of April 22nd, 2021, Chairman of the Supreme Leader attended the Leaders’ Climate Summit by video in Beijing and delivered an important speech entitled "Building a Community of Man and Nature together".

　　"We should take good care of the earth’s homeland together, for ourselves and for future generations." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly used "treasure" as a metaphor, emphasizing the need to protect the blue planet of the earth. On the 55th Earth Day, I will study with you.

　　"Green mountains and green waters are priceless"

　　"I can’t imagine what the earth and human beings would be like without forests." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once pointed out that "forest is the main body and important resource of terrestrial ecosystem and an important ecological guarantee for human survival and development."

　　Not long ago, on the banks of the Chaobai River in Beijing, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader shoveled the earth, raised the earth and cofferdams, lifted water for watering, and planted many trees and seedlings in succession. This is the seventeenth consecutive year that he has participated in voluntary tree planting activities in the capital since he went to work in the central government.

　　During the period of planting trees, when having a cordial conversation with the cadres and masses present, the General Secretary once again mentioned the role of forests as a "treasure house" and demanded "expanding the path of transforming green mountains and green hills into Jinshan Yinshan and promoting forests ‘ Reservoir, Qian Ku, Grain Depot and Carbon Depot ’ Better linkage to achieve the unity of ecological benefits, economic benefits and social benefits. "

△ On April 3, 2024, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Lucheng Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing to participate in the voluntary tree planting activities in the capital.

　　There is a forest "treasure house" in Changkou Village, Jiangle County, Fujian Province. Green hills are lush, surrounded by golden streams, white walls and tiles, and tea is fragrant … … In late spring, beautiful villages are picturesque.

　　It’s hard to imagine that more than 20 years ago, it was still a "three no villages" — — Guarding the green mountains and green waters, but the people’s lives are difficult, and the village collective expenses are stretched. There is not a cement road, a new house and a street lamp in the village.

　　The turning point appeared in 1997.

　　On April 11th of that year, the then Deputy Secretary of Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the Supreme Leader came to Changkou Village for investigation and investigation. "What are the good ways to get rich? What are your plans for the future? " In the courtyard of the old village, the supreme leader inquired carefully and listened carefully. His eyes crossed the Jinxi River in front of him. On the other side of the river, there is a virgin forest with lush trees.

　　At that time, people in Changkou village were facing the trouble of choice. In the 1980s and 1990s, the surrounding township enterprises developed, many of which were enterprises producing wooden chopsticks. One enterprise took a fancy to the natural forest and offered 200,000 yuan to buy the forest as raw materials for wooden chopsticks. For the villagers who are afraid of poverty, "selling mountains" seems to be the fastest way to get rich. However, people in Changkou also know that the mountain is mostly hard rock, and the soil is barren. Once the trees are cut down, it is difficult to replant and the ecology is even more difficult to restore.

　　To sell or not to sell, the villagers have their own opinions.

　　Looking at the Woods, the Supreme Leader said earnestly: "Green mountains and green waters are priceless. You must draw good landscape paintings, do a good job in mountain development, and do a good job in landscape fields. " He exhorted that ecological forestry is also the forestry of the future. We should unify the forestry industry and forestry ecology, and put soil and water conservation in an important position, otherwise it will be barren hills and empty hands in the future.

△ Changkou Village, Jiangle County, Fujian Province

　　Entrusted by the supreme leader, it left a castle peak for Changkou Village, which also changed the villagers’ thoughts.

　　Natural forests can’t be moved at all, artificial forests are cut rationally and replanted scientifically, and mountain forests have become the treasures of the village. Relying on ecological advantages, Changkou Village focuses on developing leisure tourism, sightseeing agriculture and characteristic aquaculture. In 2022, the village received about 50,000 tourists a year, and 80% of the villagers achieved "employment at home". The collective income of the village reached 1.85 million yuan, and the per capita net income of the villagers was 30,000 yuan.

　　The once-sleeping "green" resources are awakened and constantly transformed into development capital, bringing real money and silver to the people.

　　"Nature has given the Chinese nation a treasure, so we must protect it."

　　The Jiangdu there is like a green gauze silk belt, the mountain is like a jasper head Zan. Nature’s uncanny workmanship makes Guilin, Guangxi enjoy the reputation of the best landscape in the world.

　　"This time, I am most concerned about the landscape of your world." In April 2021, General Secretary, the supreme leader who came to Lijiang again, said to the local responsible comrades, "Protecting Guilin’s landscape is your primary responsibility."

　　In recent years, Guilin has vigorously promoted the "chaos control, water control, mountain control and permanent cure" of the Lijiang River, improving the ecological environment of the Lijiang River.

　　"Is there any illegal quarrying?" In Di Yang Wharf of Lijiang River, Yangshuo County, Guilin City, the General Secretary specifically asked.

　　"Not now."

　　"The worst thing is quarrying. Destroy a mountain and there will never be such a mountain. China and the whole world are such a treasure, so don’t destroy it. If you dig indiscriminately, you must not only be accountable, but also be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law. " The general secretary stressed.

△ On April 25th, 2021, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader was at Di Yang Pier of Lijiang River in Yangshuo County, Guilin City, Guangxi Province, to learn about the comprehensive management and ecological protection of Lijiang River Basin.

　　Boarding from Di Yang Wharf, the Supreme Leader General Secretary went down the river to inspect Yangshuo section of Lijiang River. Along the way, he repeatedly told: "This is a treasure that nature has given to the Chinese nation, and it must be protected. This is the first."

　　"We must adhere to the systematic management of grass and sand in landscape, forest, fields and lakes" and "adhere to the correct concept of ecology and development, respect nature, conform to nature and protect nature". The general secretary’s exhortation profoundly embodies the systematic concept of ecological management.

　　In the north of China, near Wuliangsuhai, Bayannaoer, Inner Mongolia, the local people engraved "landscape, forest, fields, lakes, grass and sand are a community of life" on the sign and also remembered it in their hearts.

　　Once, it was once dusty because of pollution. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has made important instructions on many occasions. On the day of World Environment Day last year, the General Secretary came here to inspect the natural features and surrounding ecological environment of Wuliangsuhai on the spot.

△ On June 5, 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Wuliangsuhai.

　　Before the exhibition board, the local responsible comrades reported — — At first, "treating water with water" was not effective. Following the general secretary’s concept of systematic governance, mountains, water, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand were put together for overall consideration, and the pattern and effect were obviously improved.

　　"The direction of the management and protection of Wuliangsuhai is clear. We should manage it with care, take care of it carefully, make consistent efforts for a long time, and protect this ‘ Pearl beyond the Great Wall ’ Leave a beautiful homeland with green mountains, beautiful water and new air for future generations. " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said.

　　Birds are flying and singing. In spring, the pearl of Wuliangsuhai is full of life and smart beauty.

　　Hainan tropical rain forest "belongs to the earth and is a national treasure"

　　Hainan gibbon is a unique primate in Hainan and an indicator of the integrity and authenticity of Hainan tropical rain forest ecosystem. At present, it is only distributed in Bawangling area of Hainan tropical rain forest national park. Strolling through the forest, "apes crow" and "birds sing" are heard, and the phenomena of huge roots, single trees forming forests, "hanging gardens" and "strangulation" of plants are all strange landscapes.

△ Hainan gibbon

　　"The popular science museum of plants!" On April 11, 2022, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader went deep into Wuzhishan area of Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, walked along the wooden plank road to inspect the ecological environment, stopped from time to time and asked about tree growth, water conservation, animal and plant resources protection and so on.

　　"Hainan tropical rain forest does not belong to Hainan alone, it belongs to the people of the whole country, it belongs to the earth and it is a national treasure." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "the fate of nature is closely related to human beings. We are doing this for history and for the nation. "

　　Implementing the national park system is an important measure for China to promote natural ecological protection, build a beautiful China and promote the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. In August 2019, in a congratulatory letter to the first National Park Forum, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader clearly stated: "China implements the national park system with the aim of maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the natural ecosystem, protecting biodiversity, protecting ecological security barriers and leaving precious natural assets for future generations."

　　In October, 2021, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader announced at the 15th Summit of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity that China officially established the first batch of national parks, such as Sanjiangyuan, Giant Panda, Northeast Tiger Leopard, Hainan Tropical Rainforest and Wuyishan, with a protected area of 230,000 square kilometers, covering nearly 30% of the wildlife species under special protection in land countries.

　　Over the past two years, various departments and localities have worked closely together to promote the ecological protection and construction management of national parks and achieved positive results. The population of rare species has been continuously restored, the biodiversity has increased steadily, and the ecological function has continued to improve.

△ On January 19, 2022, the rangers of Wuyishan National Park were patrolling the mountain.

　　"This is a national treasure, so we must protect it."

　　Layers of mangroves are like green ribbons on the coastline. This kind of viviparous woody plant rooted in the intertidal zone of the coast can not only prevent wind and waves, but also purify the sea water, and also provide a habitat for fish, shrimp and birds. It is known as the "marine forest" and "marine guardian".

　　"Mangrove protection, I personally caught it when I was working in Xiamen. After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I gave several instructions. This is a national treasure, so we must protect it. " On April 10th last year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Zhanjiang Mangrove National Nature Reserve in Guangdong Province. In the mangrove area of Jinniu Island, Huguang Town, Mazhang District, the General Secretary carefully inspected the growth of mangroves and the surrounding ecological environment.

　　The general secretary emphasized that strengthening the construction of marine ecological civilization is an important part of the construction of ecological civilization. We should persist in green development, work hard from generation to generation, and make contributions to building a beautiful China and protecting the global village in China.

△ On April 10th, 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited the mangrove area of Jinniu Island, Huguang Town, Mazhang District, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has always been very concerned about the protection of mangroves.

　　In April 2017, the General Secretary inspected the Beihai Golden Bay Mangrove Ecological Reserve in Guangxi, and told him that "we must respect science, implement responsibilities and protect mangroves well".

　　In November 2022, in his speech at the opening ceremony of the 14th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Wetlands, he announced the establishment of the "International Mangrove Center" in Shenzhen.

　　From a mangrove forest to an international cooperation platform, it shows China’s determination and responsibility to promote the construction of a community of life on earth and the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

　　According to the latest data, the mangrove area in China has increased to 438,000 mu, an increase of about 108,000 mu compared with the beginning of this century. It is one of the few countries with a net increase in mangrove area in the world.

△ On June 13th, 2023, people watched mangroves in Jinniu Island, Mazhang District, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province.

　　"Everything has its own harmony and life, and each has its own cultivation."

　　The earth is our common home. We should adhere to the concept of coexistence between man and nature, treat the ecological environment like life, be in awe of nature, respect nature, conform to nature, protect nature, and jointly protect the irreplaceable earth home.

On June 11th, Eason Chan Fang @ Eason Chan FearAndDreams concert tour announced the extension of Chongqing Station, claiming that Eason Chan fainted due to heatstroke shock while playing tennis, resulting in his chin hitting the ground. After the accident, Eason Chan was immediately taken to the hospital for treatment. After being examined by a doctor, there was a fracture of the cheekbone and the skin of the chin was broken. The broken wound was deep enough to see the bone, so it was necessary to perform suture surgery immediately, with a total of more than 30 stitches. "Based on the doctor’s diagnosis, it is necessary to rest for at least three weeks in order to completely heal the chin wound and the cheekbone. Therefore, six concerts in Chongqing Station need to be postponed until 2025. Regarding the extension and compensation arrangements, the organizer will announce it to you as soon as possible. " The statement also mentioned that Eason Chan is in stable condition and needs to be hospitalized for treatment and care. Please rest assured.

At the same time, the organizer also issued the Ticket Announcement and Compensation Announcement for the postponement of six performances in Chongqing Station.

User comments: My God, this is super serious.

According to previous reports, on May 25th, Eason Chan announced at his concert in Hangzhou that the 101st concert that night would not be held as scheduled because of his voice loss.

Eason Chan took the stage to explain that the situation was about 7: 18. After he explained that he could not continue singing because of his physical condition, the person in charge of the organizer also took the stage to announce the corresponding follow-up treatment. "Our concerts today and tomorrow will be postponed to Monday and Tuesday, and the specific refund and compensation mechanism will be announced tomorrow."

Subsequently, Eason Chan sent a message to apologize to the fans:

On May 26th, the organizer of Eason Chan Hangzhou Concert issued the latest announcement that the remaining two concerts in Hangzhou, Eason Chan, which were originally postponed to Monday and Tuesday at the weekend, will be held on another date.

Eason Chan also sent a message in Weibo, continuing to apologize for his "absence".

It’s getting hotter now.

Many people can’t stand the high temperature when they go out for activities.

There are various physical conditions.

Heatstroke is no small matter.

Serious can lead to heat spasm, heat stroke.

Even life-threatening

The girl died of heatstroke by hiking alone.

On June 9th, many outdoor sports enthusiasts went hiking in Jiulianjian, the junction of Nanjing and Zhenjiang. On that day, the temperature exceeded 30℃, the mountain was sultry, and a girl suffered from heatstroke. Although she was rescued, she died unfortunately.

Mr. Liu climbed Jiulianjian on the 9th. Because of the hot weather, he avoided the hottest time at noon and started climbing at about 2: 30 in the afternoon, which happened to witness the accident.

Mr. Liu said that the incident happened about 200 meters from the entrance of the first tip of Jiulianjian, and I didn’t see any companions in the accident. "When I arrived, she had fainted there. I heard that she was going down the mountain. It should be heatstroke first, and she hit someone else when she went down the mountain. Two people pulled her. She lay there for a long time, someone helped her cool down physically, and dialed 110,120 emergency personnel to arrive first, and then the fire also arrived, giving her oxygen and doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but it seemed late. "

Another donkey friend once helped the girl with the physical cooling. He also started climbing the mountain at 3 pm to avoid the hottest time at noon.

He said that the girl could make a sound at first, but he didn’t feel right when he passed by. Looking back, he found that she was unconscious, so he called for help while cooling her down. But when the professionals arrived, the girl had no breath.

Jiulianjian is a online celebrity hiking route around Nanjing, and there are many people all year round. Many friends who climbed Jiulianjian on the 9th said that although the altitude of Jiulianjian was not very high and the distance was not too long, it was very hot at noon that day, and some people even drank 3 liters of water. If heatstroke prevention measures were not done enough, heatstroke would easily occur. A few years ago, someone died of heatstroke climbing nine consecutive tips in summer. I didn’t expect this tragedy to happen again.

　　Cctv news(News Network): In recent years, China has promoted the construction of a population service system covering the whole life cycle, focusing on "one old and one small", making the life of the general public more convenient, gradually improving the quality and promoting the high-quality development of the population.

　　Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission issued 26.55 billion yuan of central budgetary investment to support the construction of 241 national and provincial regional medical centers and other projects, so that more patients can enjoy fair, accessible and systematic high-quality medical and health services nearby. Reporters at the National Regional Medical Center and Baoding Hospital of Beijing Children’s Hospital saw that 12-year-old Lele was undergoing follow-up evaluation after stem cell transplantation. Recalling the situation of going to Beijing for medical treatment, his father was very emotional.

　　At present, there are 76 project hospitals in the national regional medical center, and a large number of complex operations and medical services that were originally carried out only in a few big cities have been "translated" across provinces. In 2022, the number of patients in the project hospitals who went to seek medical treatment outside the province decreased by 30.6% compared with 2021.

　　At present, 429 city-level administrative regions in China have completed the overall solution of "one old and one small", with 381,000 institutions and facilities for the aged, with 8.223 million beds and 2.5 places per 1,000 population. According to the data of the Ministry of Finance, in recent years, China’s investment in safeguarding and improving people’s livelihood has increased year by year. In April, expenditure on education, health, social security and employment increased by 6.9%, 8.7% and 10.3% respectively, and efforts were made to fill the shortcomings in the field of people’s livelihood, improve service capacity and continuously promote the high-quality development of the population.

Originality makes business more valuable.

Tustin, a "county burger", broke through the tight encirclement at a low price, with more than 5,000 stores, which is almost equal to McDonald’s. Many people eat it as a substitute for McDonald’s and KFC, especially some migrant workers who want to save money, and regard it as the first choice for lunch. However, something happened to this arrogant Tustin recently, and food safety problems appeared again.

Eating raw chicken in a chicken burger is a bit disgusting to think about.

Recently, Tustin China Burger, praised by netizens as "KFC’s replacement" and "a rising star in the hamburger industry", was exposed by consumers as having eaten raw chicken.

The consumer posted a graphic saying: "Tastin has put up with you for a long time, and after a year, I feel sick of eating raw chicken again." In the picture, white chicken is exposed in the food shaped like a drumstick.

The "City Boundary" found the store involved, Tasting (Nanchang Science and Technology Normal Store), and called. The other party admitted that it did happen, and said that someone would be responsible for responding to the matter to the outside world, but as of press time, there was no response.

Tasting, which was exposed this time, has been in the limelight in recent years. It focuses on positioning Chinese style hamburgers, and its biggest feature is low price. After a spicy chicken leg burger discount, as long as 8.9 yuan, a three-piece luxury single meal is only 19.8 yuan.

Tasting started to make hamburgers in 2019. In 2020, the number of stores was only 500, and then it opened to more than 5,000 in lightning speed, covering 331 cities in 22 provinces across the country. The number of stores surpassed Dicos and caught up with McDonald’s.

This has caused the catering industry to discuss and pay attention to its business model. How about Tustin’s hamburger? How did the company quickly enter the public eye? What hidden dangers have been exposed by this food problem?

Catch up with McDonald’s

In the past year or two, although Tasting hamburgers are very popular, the company didn’t actually sell hamburgers when it started.

In 2012, the Tasting brand was born, and the first store was located in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, mainly selling pizza. This explains a question in many people’s minds, why Tasting advocated the national tide, but took a foreign name.

Tustin pizza is characterized by on-site hand-shooting and open-hearth baking. At the same time, it is different from the pizza on the market. Instead of sausages, cheese and bacon, it is Chinese food such as Beijing roast duck, braised pork with plum vegetables and fried pork with pepper.

▲ (Chef Tustin shows the pastry crust. Figure source/city boundary)

At that time, the pizza market in China was in a state of division, with nearly 1,000 Pizza Hut Happy Restaurants alone. Tasting, which looks nondescript, failed to attract consumers, and the progress of opening stores was slow. Until 2017, the number of stores was still only 100.

The turning point occurred around 2019, when a new "freshly baked burger embryo" was launched in Tustin, and the production process of handmade noodles and on-site baking was displayed in the store’s open-file operation room. The company’s products also changed from selling pizza to selling chicken leg hamburgers.

It turns out that this road is right. In 2020, the number of Tustin stores exceeded 500, and in 2021 it exceeded 1,000. In November of the same year, the company gained 120 million yuan from equity financing of Puzzle Venture Capital and Source Capital.

With the blessing of capital, in 2022, Tasting opened more than 2,000 stores. As of November 1, 2023, the data of narrow-door dining shows that the number of Tustin stores has reached 5,414, leaving Dicos (2,385) and Burger King (1,554) far behind and catching up with McDonald’s (6,205).

Until now, the crust has been a big selling point of Tustin hamburger.

Wu Jing, a girl from Anhui Province, was impressed by the pastry crust when she first ate Tastin. "I saw the staff rolling the cake skin behind the glass with their own eyes. After baking it in the oven and taking it out, it was a thin layer, which looked fragrant." She told the "city boundary", "It is also chewy in the mouth, and the wheat flavor is rich, and the spicy chicken leg inside is crisp and tastes good."

"After eating, I even want to ask the clerk if the crust can be sold separately." Wu Jingxiao said. Most importantly, Tastin is cheap and affordable, which is very suitable for a student party like Wu Jing. She and two men and one woman eat for four people, and the money spent is less than that of 90 yuan.

Chenchen, an office worker in Hangzhou, has made Tustin Hamburg the first choice for lunch since he opened it near his company. He also praised Tustin’s crust. "There is a kind of happiness in eating strong pasta. Going to his favorite mushroom beef burger every day can soothe my battered mind."

Wu Jing and chenchen are just one of many "Ta Men" (a general term for Tustin fans). Searching for Tustin in Little Red Book, there are more than 60,000 related notes, and there is no lack of discussion on Tustin in Weibo. "I have eaten Tustin for three days in a row" and "Who knows the happiness of the Tower Gate".

Not everyone can appreciate Tustin’s happiness. Narrow-door catering shows that there are currently more than 5,000 stores in Tustin, mainly concentrated in second-tier to fifth-tier cities, with first-tier cities accounting for only 7.46%. In particular, there are only two in Beijing, one is located in Beijing West Railway Station, which opened in August 2023, and the other Anzhen Store is still in trial operation. The clerk revealed to the "city circle" that the company’s plan is to open 10 stores in Beijing before the end of the year.

However, this does not affect the continuous expansion of its audience. Official website shows that as of October 2023, the number of online members registered in Tustin is 6899.3w+.

Killed out on the cheap

It’s been 33 years since McDonald’s entered China in 1990. Why did Tustin go as far as McDonald’s after making hamburgers for four years?

There is naturally more than one mystery. In most people’s view, low price is the first factor that constitutes its explosion.

Earlier, the "Market Circle" made a survey report. Influenced by the consumption environment and the online marketing involution, this generation of young people are more and more careful in eating and drinking. Before eating, they are used to using their mobile phones to search for 9.9 yuan Tik Tok/Meituan group purchase.

"McDonald’s member day on Monday, 30% off pizza at Domino’s on Tuesday, 9.9 set meal at Burger King on Wednesday, KFC crazy on Thursday, Wallace Dicos on Friday, and Alipay takeaway 118 at Haidilao on Saturday and Sunday." This popular money-saving package on the Internet has won numerous praises.

It is against this background that Tustin came into being.

According to the menu of Beijing Anzhen Store, the luxury single meal including drumsticks, chicken nuggets and coke costs only 19.8 yuan. In contrast, the same category of drumsticks in McDonald’s and KFC costs 40 yuan.

The "city boundary" made a comparison according to the data of narrow-door meals. From high to low per capita consumption, among the six mainstream hamburger brands, KFC ranked first with 34.43 yuan, followed by Burger King, Dicos and 30 yuan. McDonald’s is 27.81 yuan, followed by Tustin and Wallace, who are less than 20 yuan, at 19.22 yuan and 18.98 yuan respectively.

Tustin is also very good at playing e-commerce marketing. On Tik Tok, Tasting has opened many accounts, among which "Tasting Fuzhou Store" has the largest volume, with at least 40 live broadcasts per month, and it has been broadcast more than 270 times this year, which is comparable to the selection of model workers in the live broadcast industry in the East, which makes it gain 2 million fans, and many other accounts have reached tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of fans.

The anchors beat the group purchase price in the live broadcast room, including a spicy chicken leg fort 8.9 yuan and 10 wing tip 5.9 yuan, which is so cost-effective that it is difficult for consumers to refuse. When many people eat Tasting drumsticks in their mouths, they will find that the ingredients are almost the same as McDonald’s and KFC.

In the view of Wang Hongdong, the founder of Dining Collection and an analyst in the catering industry, "this is where Tastin is smart."

Take Jia Guolong’s China Fort as an example. The categories in the store include Fried Cattle Fort, Hanging Furnace Roast Duck Fort, Braised Pork Fort with Wine, and so on, like an upgraded version of Chinese hamburger.

But Tasting is different. The decoration of the store adopts China red doorknob and naive lion head Logo, which borrows the potential energy of the national tide, but the products are the familiar spicy chicken leg burger, plate-roasted chicken leg burger, beef burger, French fries, chicken rice flower and so on. In other words, Tastin is actually doing fried chicken business under the banner of Chinese hamburger, which is essentially western fast food.

Wang Hongdong believes that if the two are compared, Tasting is more dominant. After all, Jia Guolong’s selling of "air buns" (Jia Guolong’s China Fort was renamed as "Jia Guolong’s air buns" before) has an explanation cost and will dissuade many consumers.

"But Tustin entered a market that was fully educated by KFC and McDonald’s, and Chinese hamburgers were more like a propaganda strategy." Wang Hongdong said. In addition, he also believes that the category of fried chicken burger is very suitable for take-out, and basically the take-out ratio of these local fried chicken burger brands is very high. "Plus it is cheap, so it can develop rapidly."

Many interviewees confirmed this view to the "city boundary", "it is really for eating fried chicken." During the visit to Anzhen Store, the "City Boundary" found that most of the shops were young people and children, and they ate Tastin as a substitute for KFC and McDonald’s.

Wang Hongdong also said that Tastin is also very good at site selection.

At the address of Beijing Anzhen Store in Tasting, KFC is 50 meters away, and Jia Guolong’s China Fort is next door. Jia Guolong, the clerk of China Fort complained, "We just opened it for two months, and Tustin came." Tastin’s practice of keeping a close eye on his peers is equivalent to winning all the people who eat fried chicken and those who are curious about Chinese hamburgers.

As mentioned earlier, Tastindo has won the favor of consumers in the sinking market. Some people may ask, if you go to a first-tier city, will anyone pay the bill?

With this question in mind, Wang Hongdong once specially inspected the location of Tasting’s stores in Guangzhou. "Most of them are located in villages in the city, where consumers are highly price-sensitive and business is very good." He judged from this that as long as Wallace, KFC and McDonald’s can open places, there is no reason why Tustin can’t open them.

Food safety problems are frequent.

Even though the path from pizza to Hamburg is clear, Tustin faces many developmental problems.

Search on the Internet found that many diners who have eaten in the store will vomit Tastin’s slow meal. The root cause lies in the crust of freshly rolled cakes. Wu Jing has to wait 10 to 15 minutes for several times.

The "city boundary" calculated at the store and ordered four hamburgers and some snacks. It took exactly 15 minutes from the time the order was placed to the table. Because he hoped to publicize the characteristics of the existing rolled dough, Tasting used the Ming chef, and he could see that there was only one female staff member rolling the dough manually, and the rest were baked by one person, wrapped by one person, and helped to order at the front desk.

And these four people, to 50 square meters, full seat can accommodate more than 30 people to supply meals. The complexity of production and the lack of manpower eventually led to the slow delivery speed of the store.

▲ (Tasting Anzhen Store. Figure source/city boundary)

Like all restaurant chains, Tastin has not escaped the management pain point of joining. Like the food safety problem at the beginning of the article, I searched a lot on the complaints of black cats. For example, eating raw meat causes diarrhea, chicken feathers are eaten in the set meal, and there is hair in the hamburger … Some people describe Tustin as another "jet fighter" after Wallace.

During the period of 315, 2022, the Tasting store was exposed by the "Urban Scene" column of Jiangxi Metropolitan Channel that there were serious food safety problems, including the staff did not hold a health certificate, the food was short of weight, the meat products were still sold after the expiration date, and the expiration date of the food was modified without authorization. Since then, Yang Bing, general manager of Tustin, has admitted in an internal letter that the operation of individual stores is not standardized and not in place, saying that he and the team are "anxious and full of worries".

A netizen in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province recalled his experience of eating raw chicken to the "city boundary". "Afterwards, I contacted the store at the first time, and the store returned the hamburger money to me and promised to make me a new one next time. But a series of rhetoric from the store made me feel uncomfortable and felt that I was making something out of nothing. So I chose to expose it on social media. "

"Then Tustin officially called me and said that I would be given a single meal coupon as compensation." In a word, the netizen is very dissatisfied with the handling result of this matter, and hopes that Tastin can strictly control the quality.

It is worth mentioning that although Wei Youchun, the founder of Tustin, once worked as a franchisee of Wallace, the joining mode of Tustin is different from that of Wallace. Wallace turned employees or partners into store partners through the "store crowdfunding" model. Tastin is a more traditional joining model.

According to Wang Hongdong’s analysis, Wallace binds the interests of employees, partners and the company together. Employees will have a sense of being the hero and be responsible for the operation of the store, and the store closure rate is low. However, in Tastin’s model, the interests of franchisees and company headquarters cannot be completely consistent. In order to make quick money, franchisees may not operate according to the requirements of the company, and the probability of food safety problems will be high.

"So, Wallace’s model is more recognized in the catering industry." Wang Hongdong said.

Zooming in to the entire Chinese hamburger track, Tastin is not the only brand that is eyeing Chinese hamburgers. Among them, there are many Tustin imitators. For example, the China Hamburg brand "Dafangfang" launched the concept of "Western-style Hamburg, Oriental Expression", and it also worked hard on Hamburg embryo; Another "Chuzheng Hamburg" is very similar to Tustin in the decoration style of the store at first glance.

Judging from the financing situation, the capital market also has expectations for Chinese hamburgers. According to the rough statistics of the city boundary, Chuzheng Hamburg has received an angel round financing of 3 million yuan, Limbaugh has received an angel round investment of several million yuan, Odington Hamburg has completed the A round financing, and Kenweiting China Hamburg has just completed the seed round financing in October this year.

According to 36Kr, at the end of 2021, Yang Bing once said, "The management team led by Wei Dong (Wei Youchun) has made a clear plan for 2022, with 2,500 stores to be opened, 5,000 stores to be opened in the next three years and listing in the next five years".

Now, the goal of 5,000 stores has been achieved, and the next listing plan can’t be achieved just by opening stores. In the future, can Tustin’s products continue to be competitive? How to build a complete operation support system after scale? There are also the biggest food safety problems at the moment, etc., all waiting for Tastin to break through and solve them one by one.

However, due to the complexity of the calculation method of the national subsidy this year, the subsidy for each model of the same level of products is more different and the subsidy intensity is more accurate.

　　[A little knowledge every day]

　 　 1905 movie network news There are many movie master in the film industry, who have terminated their shooting plans for various reasons, and those films that have not been completed in the end have become the regrets of fans and directors. A few days ago, "Fro Design Company" released a set of creative posters to show these films that failed to appear on the screen in another form, and also tried to explore movie master’s long-cherished wishes through these posters.

　 　 The exposed posters include Alfred Hitchcock’s Kaleidoscope, stanley kubrick’s Napoleon, david lean’s Nostromo, orson welles’s Don Quixote, guillermo del toro’s Crazy Mountains, salvador dali’s Giraffes On Horseback Salad and david lynch’s Ronnie Rocket.

　 　 Among them, stanley kubrick had conducted in-depth research on Napoleon for many years before his death, hoping to make a biographical film, so he collected a huge amount of material enough to make a mini-series. Spielberg once said that Kubrick’s "Napoleon" script was completed as early as 1961, but another film about Napoleon failed to come out because of the box office fiasco in the same period.

　 　 Also troubled by funds is guillermo del toro’s "Crazy Mountains" project. In the original work, the scene of aliens digging human beings and the budget that seems to be "a little expensive" make Legendary Pictures stop.

CCTV News:Huangchong Village in Dongguan, Guangdong Province is located at the intersection of Dongjiang River, its tributaries and Zengjiang River. From the air, there are many peasant apartments, fashionable holiday hotels, grand industrial parks and lush trees, which not only presents a beautiful and exquisite Lingnan water town, but also a happy and prosperous paradise.

But no one would have thought that the leading industry in beautiful countryside was the paper industry with high pollution. In recent years, the village environment is getting better and better, the collective economy is growing, and the villagers’ pockets are getting bigger and bigger, all of which are inseparable from the "head of the family" in the village — — Li Xikang, secretary of the village Party Working Committee and director of the village committee.

Li Xikang is a native of Huangyong. He graduated from high school in the early 1980s and was one of the few cultural people in the village at that time. At that time, he wanted to work hard outside, but considering that the construction in the village was in its infancy, it was time for knowledgeable young people to return to work in the village, so he went to work in the village-run cement factory.

Five years later, due to his outstanding ability, Li Xikang was promoted to the director of the cement plant, and joined the team of the village party branch in 1997. At the same time, he also served as the chairman of the village-run enterprises Yinzhou Paper and jinzhou area Paper. In July 2005, Li Xikang took over as the general branch secretary of the village party.

When he was first appointed secretary of the General Party Branch, the paper industry in Huangyong Village was in urgent need of transformation and upgrading because of its high energy consumption and low productivity. In order to make the management of village-run enterprises change their minds, he organized everyone to visit advanced paper enterprises at home and abroad and hired experts to demonstrate, and finally the transformation and upgrading plan was passed by unanimous vote. Now, Huangyong Village has become the representative of high-end paper industry. Last year, the village collective disposable income exceeded 580 million yuan.

For more than 10 years, Huangyong has persistently promoted industrial transformation and upgrading, which has made Huangyong paper industry always play a decisive role in Guangdong paper industry. Now, Huangyong Village has become the representative of high-end paper industry. The environmental protection investment of the three paper enterprises in the village each exceeded 100 million yuan. In 2017, the village collective disposable income exceeded 580 million yuan. "In those days, I took party member cadres to do mass ideological work every day, and I didn’t sleep well. Although it is very hard, all the efforts are worth it. "

The village is rich and should benefit the villagers. Under the leadership of Li Xikang, Huangyong Village has implemented a series of measures to improve people’s livelihood, including building affordable peasant apartments and helping villagers in need to repair old houses and dangerous houses or demolish old ones to build new ones; Promote villagers’ employment and entrepreneurship, and establish "medical assistance for major diseases" and "grants for children from difficult families".

Li Dehui, a villager in Huangyong Village, Zhongtang Town, said: "If you earn money, you still care about the villagers. The whole village has excellent sanitation, public security and environment, just like a small town. Some villagers are seriously ill and have subsidies for you and lend them to you. This secretary and the masses have a good impression of him. "

When talking about the enthusiastic help given by Secretary Xikang, the villager Xie Huangui also burst into tears. In March, 2005, Xie Huangui was just 17 years old, and was in Grade One. He was diagnosed with uremia, which put the ordinary family in trouble. With the care of Li Xikang and the help of the village Committee, Xie Huangui’s condition improved day by day. In 2011, Xie Huangui got married and became pregnant with a child.

"When our family was at a loss, the village committee lent a helping hand again and again. My body recovers day by day, my daughter goes to kindergarten, my husband has a job, and my family lives happily. I really appreciate the village Committee and Secretary Xikang. " Xie Huangui said.

Li Xikang insists on bringing the fruits of economic development to the people and has always been committed to doing a good job in people’s livelihood. "Serving the people is the foundation of doing a good job in rural work. This is not an empty check, but everything should be people-oriented and realize the joint construction and sharing of the whole people."　

With deep feelings, he devoted himself to the development of Huangyong village by implementing various effective measures, so that the people could get more employment, their income increased steadily and enjoy more development achievements. Li Xikang is leading Huangyong Village to a road of beautiful countryside construction with the beauty of development, life, ecology and humanity, and has opened a new picture of the most beautiful countryside.

According to the website of National Health Commission on the 13th, the comprehensive group of joint prevention and control mechanism for novel coronavirus epidemic in the State Council recently issued the Notice on Further Strengthening the Quality Management of nucleic acid sampling in Covid-19. In order to further strengthen the quality management of nucleic acid sampling in Covid-19, improve the standardization and accuracy of nucleic acid sampling, and provide safe and high-quality nucleic acid sampling services for the people, the relevant requirements are hereby notified as follows:

First, fully understand the importance of nucleic acid sampling

Nucleic acid sampling is an important part of nucleic acid detection in Covid-19. The standardized operation, personnel training and organization management of sampling are directly related to the accuracy and reliability of the test results and the personal feelings of the people. Improper management of nucleic acid sampling may not only lead to inaccurate test results, but also cross-infection among people, which will adversely affect epidemic prevention and control. All localities should attach great importance to the management of nucleic acid sampling, take problem-oriented measures, pay close attention to implementation, standardize the management of sampling links, and continuously improve the quality of nucleic acid sampling.

Second, ensure that the sampling personnel are qualified.

All localities should strictly manage the qualification of nucleic acid sampling personnel, and on the basis of existing medical personnel, personnel with health-related professional and technical qualifications in private hospitals, retail pharmacies, school clinics and enterprises and institutions should be included in the sampling personnel team, and they can engage in nucleic acid sampling only after they have been organized and standardized by the health administrative department and passed the examination. The deployment and use of sampling personnel should try not to crowd out normal medical resources to ensure the people’s demand for medical treatment.

Three, standardize the training of nucleic acid sampling

The local health administrative departments should standardize the organization, training and assessment of nucleic acid sampling in accordance with the Handbook of Nucleic Acid Detection in Medical Institutions in novel coronavirus (Trial Second Edition) and the Training Program for Nucleic Acid Sampling in Covid-19 (see Annex). By making training videos and organizing practical training, sampling personnel can master commonly used collection methods such as oropharyngeal swab and nasopharyngeal swab, correctly put on and use personal protective equipment, and implement various infection control measures. Video training is not allowed to replace practical training.

Fourth, strengthen the quality control of nucleic acid sampling

All localities should earnestly strengthen the quality control of nucleic acid sampling, and ensure the scientific operation and behavior of sampling personnel in accordance with the principle of "no training and no post, and no post if the training is unqualified". At the same time, the nucleic acid detection institutions should further improve the indoor quality control, and monitor whether the cells are collected by the sampling swab by analyzing the internal reference data of the detection reagents, so as to reflect and improve the sampling quality. The administrative department of health should organize to carry out spot checks on nucleic acid sampling, find problems in time, and put forward suggestions for improvement.

Five, do a good job in the organization and management of nucleic acid sampling

All localities should further strengthen the organization and management of nucleic acid sampling points, guide each sampling point to be equipped with enough sampling personnel, auxiliary personnel or volunteers, reasonably arrange the sampling personnel to shift and rest, provide corresponding logistics services, implement the relevant requirements of caring for medical personnel, and provide high-quality and efficient nucleic acid sampling services for the masses.

Covid-19 nucleic acid sampling training program  

In order to guide all localities to do a good job in training nucleic acid sampling personnel, standardize the sampling process, ensure the sampling quality and prevent possible cross-infection, this scheme is formulated.

I. Training organization

Local health administrative departments or their entrusted professional institutions are responsible for formulating training courseware and training course arrangement, and organizing nucleic acid sampling assessment. Those who pass the examination shall obtain the sampling training certificate issued by the health administrative department or its entrusted professional organization.

Second, the training content

The training contents mainly include the collection methods of oropharyngeal swabs and nasopharyngeal swabs, personal protection and infection control. The training time is at least one day, including theoretical training and practical training.

(a) oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swab sampling.

1. Collection method of oropharyngeal swab. The subjects adopt a posture with their heads slightly tilted and their mouths wide open, exposing their pharyngeal tonsils on both sides. The key point of oropharyngeal swab sampling is to pass the swab over the base of tongue, wipe it back and forth at least 3 times with a little force on both sides of pharyngeal tonsils, and then wipe it up and down the posterior pharyngeal wall at least 3 times. After sampling, put the swab head into the collection tube containing virus preservation solution, with the swab breaking point at the nozzle, break it slightly to make the swab head fall into the liquid in the collection tube, discard the broken swab rod, tighten the tube cover, and put the collection tube on a stable shelf. After each case is collected, the sampling personnel shall carry out hand disinfection.

2. Nasopharyngeal swab collection method. The sampler holds a swab and sticks it to the nostril to enter, and slowly goes back and forth along the bottom of the lower nasal passage. Because the nasal passage is arc-shaped, do not use too much force to avoid traumatic bleeding. When the tip of the swab reaches the back wall of nasopharyngeal cavity, gently rotate it for one week (in case of reflex cough, it should be stop for a minute), then slowly take out the swab and immerse the swab head in a tube containing 2 ~ 3 ml virus preservation solution.

In case of multi-person mixed mining, we should also pay attention to the standard operation of mixed swab. Taking 10-in-1 mixed sampling as an example, the remaining 9 swabs were collected in turn according to the above collection method, and the collected swabs were placed in the same collection tube, with gentle movements to avoid aerosol generation. After continuously collecting 10 swabs, tighten the tube cover to prevent spillage. If there are less than 10 swabs in the collection tube, special marks should be made and recorded.

(2) Personal protection of sampling personnel. Personal protection includes putting on and off personal protective equipment (including: medical protective mask, latex gloves, protective screen or goggles, isolation gown or protective clothing and working cap) correctly, and standardizing hand hygiene.

Personal protective equipment should be worn in the following order: medical protective mask and working cap, isolation gown or protective clothing, protective screen or goggles, and gloves. After wearing a mask, the tightness test of the mask should be carried out to ensure good tightness. If the mask is polluted or wet during use, gloves and protective clothing should be replaced in time if they are polluted or damaged.

Before taking off personal protective equipment, it is necessary to carry out hand hygiene, then take off protective screen or goggles in turn, take off isolation gown or protective clothing, gloves, hat and medical protective mask. In the process of taking off, the contaminated surface should not touch the internal clothes. Hand hygiene should be done before and after each step, and hands should not touch the contaminated surface.

(3) Infection control.

1. The sampling point is partitioned. The sampling point should be an open and well-ventilated site, which is divided into waiting area, collection area, buffer area, temporary isolation area and temporary storage area of medical waste, so as to effectively disperse the density of people to be inspected. (1) Waiting area. Set pedestrian passage, at the same time set a safe distance to ensure the protection and safety of waiting personnel. According to the weather conditions, it is equipped with facilities such as heat preservation, cooling, sun protection and rain protection. (2) Acquisition area. According to climatic conditions, tents, cold/warm fans and appropriate tables and chairs are provided. Equipped with disinfection supplies, swabs and virus collection tubes for collection, and paper towels, vomit bags and masks should be prepared for the collected personnel. If the specimen cannot be transported to the laboratory in time, a 4℃ refrigerator or low-temperature storage box should be prepared for temporary storage. (3) Buffer area. The space should be relatively closed for sampling personnel to change personal protective equipment, place protective equipment, disinfection supplies for collection, swabs, collection tubes and outdoor disinfection equipment that match the scale of sampling points. (4) Temporary isolation zone. Used to temporarily isolate suspected patients or high-risk groups found in the collection process. (5) Temporary storage area for medical wastes. Used for temporary storage of medical waste, and do a good job of collection, packaging, harmless treatment, handover and so on.

2. Do a good job of cleaning and disinfection. When collecting specimens, hand hygiene should be strictly implemented, and one hand should be disinfected, that is, after the specimen collection of the previous person is completed, hand disinfection must be carried out before the next collection operation can be carried out. Attention should be paid to the prevention and control of infection in the sampling process, and other parts should not touch the mined personnel except the swab to prevent cross-infection. After the sampling site work, medical instruments, articles and surfaces should be cleaned and disinfected. Clean the environmental surface thoroughly with clean water and detergent, and use effective disinfectants to disinfect the surface of environmental objects, especially the high-frequency contact parts. Standardize the treatment of patients’ respiratory secretions, excreta and vomit.

3. Avoid crowds. Clear guiding signs should be set up at sampling points to ensure one-way flow of personnel, and the sampling process and matters needing attention should be defined. Do a good job in the fine organization and management of the sampling site. While maintaining the work order by staff and volunteers, we encourage physical means to strictly implement the requirements of safe distance interval.

Third, the assessment

The assessment contents include sampling operation, personal protection and theoretical knowledge of sensing control. The main assessment of practical operation, when necessary, can arrange a simple theoretical examination. It mainly covers the following contents:

1. Whether you can wear a mask correctly and how well you know the potential risks.

2. Whether you can correctly grasp the procedures of putting on and taking off isolation gown or protective clothing, and understand the potential risks.

3. Whether the oropharyngeal and nasal swab collection operation can be standardized, and the degree of understanding that irregular operation may affect the test results.

4. Whether hand hygiene can be carried out correctly, and the degree of understanding of infection control methods such as environmental ventilation, cleaning and disinfection, and standardized disposal of medical wastes.
