Increased ultraviolet radiation during the Permian extinction? Evidence of "sunscreen" in fossil pollen grains

The extinction at the end of Permian 252 million years ago caused the extinction of about 81% marine species and 89% terrestrial species. The main reason is believed to be the environmental change caused by large-scale volcanic eruption, but there is still no direct evidence that environmental factors affect terrestrial ecosystems. In cooperation with foreign counterparts, researchers in China discovered the direct evidence that the destruction of the ozone layer led to the extinction of terrestrial life at the end of Permian by studying the changes of "sunscreen" content in fossil pollen grains during this period.

The research results were published online in the internationally renowned journal Science Advances on January 6, 2023.

Volcanic eruption led to mass extinction of land? There was a lack of direct evidence

The extinction event at the end of Permian was the largest extinction event in Phanerozoic. Scientists generally believe that the increase of global greenhouse gases caused by the eruption of Siberian igneous province at the end of Permian, global warming and ocean acidification may be the main causes of this extinction. However, there are still many debates about how these environmental factors affect terrestrial ecosystems.

Some palynologists have found some deformed spores and pollen in the continental Permian-Triassic transition section. It is speculated that these deformed spores or pollen may be caused by the increase of ultraviolet radiation induced by the destruction of the global ozone layer caused by halogen elements ejected from the Siberian igneous province. However, the study of abnormal spores and pollen produced in modern plants shows that the environmental background of these abnormal pollen and spores is very complicated, and drought, air pollution and plant trauma may all induce abnormal spores or pollen to be produced in plants. Therefore, the discovery of a small number of abnormal spores and pollen in the continental Permian-Triassic transition section cannot directly prove that there was an increase in ultraviolet radiation caused by the global ozone hole during the extinction at the end of Permian.

Using the content of "sunscreen" to deduce the intensity of atmospheric ultraviolet radiation

Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis to provide energy for plant growth, but at the same time, it is necessary to avoid the damage of harmful ultraviolet rays in sunlight to genetic information in plants, especially in plant reproductive cells (spores and pollen). In order to adapt to the terrestrial radiation environment, terrestrial plants have evolved some regulatory mechanisms to reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to plants. In the germ cells of plants, this mechanism is manifested in that there are a large number of compounds-coumaric acid and ferulic acid-in the outer walls of plant spores and pollen, which are very similar in function to "sunscreen cream". These compounds can form resonance-stable phenol free radicals and resist the oxidation caused by ultraviolet rays, thus protecting fragile spores and pollen and providing guarantee for the spread and reproduction of terrestrial plants.

Modern botanists have observed that plants can automatically adjust the content of "sunscreen" on the outer wall of their germ cells according to the surrounding ultraviolet radiation environment, and these "sunscreen" can be stored in the outer wall of inert spores and pollen for a long time. Therefore, in theory, researchers can determine the content of "sunscreen" in these spores and pollen, and deduce the intensity of atmospheric ultraviolet radiation in geological history.

"Sunscreen" is difficult to digest and has low nutrition, or leads to the extinction of insects.

According to Liu Feng, a researcher at Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research team quantitatively measured coumaric acid and ferulic acid in 1011 pollen grains from Permian-Triassic transition section in southern Tibet, China. Through the big data analysis of infrared spectra produced by these pollen, the research team found that during the extinction at the end of Permian, the contents of coumaric acid and ferulic acid in the outer wall of pollen in the stratum were significantly higher than those in fossil pollen before and after extinction, which directly proved that there was an increase in global ultraviolet radiation during the extinction at the end of Permian.

The increase of ultraviolet radiation in the air has a far-reaching impact on the whole terrestrial ecosystem. Because ultraviolet rays not only have a strong killing effect on plant germ cells, but also cause damage to plant mesophyll cells. In order to resist the damage of ultraviolet rays to mesophyll cells, plants will synthesize lutein, coumaric acid and ferulic acid in their leaves, which will reduce the synthesis of chlorophyll accordingly, leading to the weakening of photosynthesis of plants, which will further weaken the absorption capacity of plants for greenhouse gases, further aggravating the global greenhouse gas increase caused by volcanic eruption at the end of Permian.

In addition, lutein, coumaric acid and ferulic acid in mesophyll are compounds that are difficult to digest and have low nutritional value for herbivores and insects, so the increase of ultraviolet radiation indirectly affects the terrestrial food chain, which may be the main reason for the extinction of terrestrial herbivores and insects at the end of Permian.

Golden Horse Poster Gong Li Hou Xiaoxian’s side face is so beautiful! Creative signboard has not been smashed for ten years.

The 55th Golden Horse Poster


1905 movie network news Today, the main visual poster of the 55th Golden Horse Award was released, which once again firmly attracted the attention. This poster with blue and gold as the main color looks like staring at the sleeping sand dunes in the middle of the night from a distance. If you look closely, you will find that it is four faces lined up in turn. This poster was designed by Fang Xuzhong, the poster designer and visual director of the ceremony last year. It extends the concept of "everyone plays a supporting role in the film" and draws the facial contours of Ang Lee (Chairman of the Executive Committee of Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival), Hou Xiaoxian (Dean of Golden Horse Film Academy), Gong Li (Chairman of the Golden Horse Award Jury) and Xiao Ye (Judge of Golden Horse Venture Capital Conference) into dune shapes. The picture made up of tiny particles of light and shadow also seems to imply the ambiguous connection between retaining the instantaneous image with light and shadow and the passing time.

 

The main visual posters of the Golden Horse Awards pay attention to convey the understanding of Chinese movies with rich imagination and bold creativity, which has always been a highlight of the Golden Horse Awards. In recent years, almost all the main visual posters have paid tribute to Taiwan Province’s old films and filmmakers.

 

In 2017, the main visual posters of the 54th Golden Horse Awards were the "Shadow Idiot Edition" and "Fan Edition" posters with the stills of "Spring Breeze" as the main elements. The two posters project the pictures from the stills onto various screens to convey the real and illusory feeling brought by the film, which is similar to the 53rd brighter summer day designed by Huang Hai, in which the junior four illuminates the night sky with a flashlight to show that "the light of the film never goes out".

Even more amazing is the 50th Golden Horse, a Maggie Cheung-themed poster designed by Taiwan Province graphic designer Nie Yongzhen (who designed album covers for Jay Chou, Yoga Lin and others). The image of Maggie Cheung is partially cut to show different areas of the face, which means that the film is like a slice of time, so it can’t really keep time, so it can only intercept fragments.

In addition, it is worth noting that cartoonist Jimmy has designed the main visual poster for the Golden Horse Award twice. At the 39th Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival, he gathered his characters in the cinema and opened a small door under it. It not only means that the film blurs the boundary between reality and illusion, but also outlines the pleasant atmosphere of watching movies.

How many meters is the 39th by?

Another time was the 49th Golden Horse Award 10 years later. He created in oil painting for the first time in public and handed in three design drawings at one time. Two of them are a pair of dressed-up "hot horses and handsome horses", and the final picture is the picture of a little boy and a horse flying on the sea. According to Jimmy himself, this means "the pursuit of light and shadow".

Excellent days are over 80%! China’s air pollution control has achieved remarkable results.

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 8 (Reporter Gao Jing) During the National Day holiday this year, Gao Lei, who works in Beijing, found that his hometown had changed a lot when he went home to visit relatives. Gaoyang County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, where his hometown is located, is undergoing the transformation from coal to gas. Gao Lei saw that the small coal-fired boiler used for heating in winter at home disappeared, and the kitchen was newly connected with natural gas pipelines and installed with wall-hung boilers. The home looked much cleaner and brighter than before.

  Replacing loose coal by changing gas and electricity is one of the important measures to control air pollution in northern China.

  Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", China’s air pollution control has achieved remarkable results. According to the data from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, compared with 2015, the average annual concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in cities at or above the prefecture level fell by 23.1% in 2019, and the proportion of excellent days in 337 cities at or above the prefecture level reached 82%.

  In the closing year, the achievements of the blue sky defense war were even more eye-catching. From January to August this year, the average number of excellent days in 337 cities at or above the prefecture level was 86.7%, up 5 percentage points year-on-year; The concentration of PM2.5 was 31 μ g/m3, down 11.4% year-on-year. Good weather with blue sky and white clouds is becoming the norm.

  Behind more and more blue sky is a series of "combination boxing" that China has played to control air pollution. In recent years, China’s air pollution control work has been closely focused on key areas such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas, the Yangtze River Delta region, and the Fenwei Plain, focusing on key pollutants such as PM2.5, focusing on key periods in autumn and winter, and key areas such as loose coal combustion and "scattered pollution" enterprises, and continuing to implement tough actions.

  The pilot cities of clean heating in the northern region will achieve full coverage of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas and Fenwei Plain; 86% of coal-fired power units have achieved ultra-low emissions, and about 780 million tons of crude steel production capacity has been transformed into ultra-low emissions; Carry out in-depth rectification of "scattered pollution" enterprises, industrial furnaces and key industries to control volatile organic compounds; Strengthen the pollution control of diesel trucks and vigorously promote the "revolving iron"; Deepen the joint prevention and control of air pollution in key areas and strengthen the response to heavy pollution weather.

  "The nearby village used natural gas for heating last year, which is said to be clean and warm." Gao Lei said that he believes that after coal is changed to gas, there will be more blue sky and less smog in winter.

Dragon Boat Festival-Feelings of Home and Country

CCTV News:People commemorate Qu Yuan on the Dragon Boat Festival. Qu Yuan’s personality charm and ideological essence, such as worrying about his home country, caring for the people, being brave in exploration, being honest and noble, have been praised through the ages. The Dragon Boat Festival embodies the profound feelings of the Chinese nation and inherits the spirit of patriotism. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has made an important exposition on patriotism on many occasions, and repeatedly quoted Qu Yuan’s famous sentences in his speeches to elaborate his thoughts, which has far-reaching implications.

Patriotism has always been a passionate theme.

The general secretary quoted Qu Yuan’s famous sentences many times.

"The road is long and Xiu Yuan is awkward, and I will search up and down." Comrades of the whole party must not forget their initial intentions, move on, always maintain the style of modesty, prudence, arrogance and rashness, always maintain the style of hard struggle, be brave in change and innovation, never be rigid and never stagnate, continue to stand the test in this historic exam, and strive to hand over new and better answers to history and the people!

China people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is extremely tragic, from strategic defense to strategic stalemate, and then to strategic counterattack. Whether on the frontal battlefield or the battlefield behind enemy lines, the people of China shared the same enemy and went to the national disaster together, and their iron bones clanked and died, playing a heroic victory. Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, Zuo Quan, Peng Xuefeng, Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu, Zhang Zizhong, Dai Anlan and many other heroic groups are outstanding representatives of the Chinese people who are fearless of violence and die for their country. As the saying goes, "Honesty is brave and brave, but ultimately strong and unyielding." The body is dead, the gods are spiritual, and the soul is awkward. "

● The source of the allusion: "Who preached it at the beginning of ancient times? Up and down are shapeless, why should we test them? " From Qu Yuan’s "Tian Wen"

Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet.

Qu Yuan is a great patriotic poet in the history of China and the founder of China’s romantic literature. He is known as "the ancestor of Chinese poetry" and "the ancestor of Ci Fu" and is called "the soul of poetry" by later generations. His main works include Li Sao, Nine Songs, Nine Chapters and Tian Wen. The Songs of the South, written by him, is the source of China’s romantic literature, and is also called "coquettish" with the Book of Songs, which has a far-reaching influence on later poetry.

Qu Yuan was an important politician in Chu State. He was trusted by Chu Huaiwang in his early years, and served as a Zuotu and a doctor in San Lv, in charge of internal and external affairs. He advocated that the reform plan should be strong, that is, he should promote talents and improve statutes internally, and that he should unite with external forces to fight against Qin. Being slandered by the nobles, he was exiled to Hanbei and Yuanxiang Valley successively. In 278 BC, the Qin general attacked Chu Duying (now Jiangling, Hubei Province) in vain, and Qu Yuan was filled with grief and indignation. Huai Shi sank in the Miluo River and died.

Beijing began to vaccinate against influenza in batches in mid-September! These people are free.

  The Beijing Municipal Health and Health Commission, the Municipal Education Commission and the Municipal People’s Social Security Bureau jointly released the work plan for influenza vaccination in Beijing in 2022. The influenza vaccination work in this city will be implemented in batches in mid-September, and the free vaccination work is initially scheduled to end at the end of November.

  Free influenza vaccination population is — —

  Older people over the age of 60 with the city’s resident ID card/social security card;

  All primary and secondary school students (including domestic and foreign students in primary schools, general middle schools, technical secondary schools, vocational high schools, technical colleges, reform schools and special education schools);

  Emergency support personnel for major activities identified by the health administrative departments of all districts (including frontline personnel for epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19).

  Routine immunization clinics in all districts are responsible for providing self-funded and free influenza vaccination services, and actively organizing qualified medical institutions and medical personnel within their respective jurisdictions to provide self-funded influenza vaccination services. In areas with large vaccination needs, at least one qualified secondary and above medical institution should be organized to provide vaccination services during this year’s influenza vaccination. Choose suitable places in each district to set up temporary inoculation points reasonably, and when necessary, open temporary inoculation points of COVID-19 vaccine to meet the population’s centralized inoculation demand. Each district should take various measures to further improve the vaccination service capacity in its jurisdiction, such as setting up district-level mobile vaccination teams, extending the vaccination time of vaccination clinics, setting up weekend clinics, and encouraging physical examination centers to set up vaccination clinics.

  In 2022, the city will further promote the influenza vaccine appointment vaccination system under the situation of epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19. Each district is responsible for organizing primary and secondary schools, secondary specialized schools, technical colleges, old-age care institutions, villages/neighborhood committees and other units under the guidance of the district CDC to make an appointment and docking with the vaccination clinics in the jurisdiction for free vaccination. Citizens who are willing to vaccinate can make an appointment at the vaccination clinic through various appointment methods such as internet, telephone and on-site appointment.

  The first batch of vaccination work is scheduled to start in mid-September, mainly for the elderly aged 60 and above in Beijing, and the vaccination publicity and mobilization of students in primary and secondary schools, secondary specialized schools and technical colleges will be started simultaneously.The second batch is scheduled to start in late September, mainly for students in primary and secondary schools, secondary specialized schools and technical colleges, and simultaneously start the self-funded vaccination of influenza vaccine in the city. The third batch is scheduled to start in early October, mainly for emergency support personnel of major events (including front-line personnel of epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19). If there is no special reason, the free vaccination of influenza vaccine in the city is initially scheduled to end at the end of November.

  All vaccination clinics should arrange the vaccination work of schools, old-age care institutions and other collective units in advance to avoid large-scale vaccination in concentrated periods. At the same time, do a good job in registering the demand for pneumococcal vaccination, arrange vaccination reasonably, and provide joint vaccination services for pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine and influenza vaccine for the elderly.

  All vaccination clinics should strengthen vaccine management, standardize vaccination operations, strictly implement epidemic prevention and control measures such as daily ventilation and disinfection, temperature measurement, code test, negative nucleic acid test, and keeping a one-meter line at the vaccination site to ensure vaccination safety. At the same time, they should take various convenient service measures such as cold protection, rain protection and anti-skid, and do a good job in vaccination warm-hearted service and humanistic care for key groups such as the elderly and students, so as to further enhance the comfort and satisfaction of the citizens.

800,000 millet SU7? It is a high-priced flagship and a breakthrough in the high-end market.

Today, the new energy vehicle market is surging. As an emerging force, Xiaomi Automobile has attracted much attention in every step. Recently, the news that Xiaomi plans to launch a model with a price of up to 800,000 yuan, Ultra Prototype, has triggered a wide discussion in the market. This model not only has excellent performance and high-end configuration, but also carries the strategic intention of high-end brand, market expansion and technological innovation of Xiaomi automobile.

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype, as a flagship model in Xiaomi SU7 plan, has remarkable performance parameters. According to related reports, the car is equipped with dual V8s+V6s three-motor all-wheel drive system, with an output power of 1,548 HP and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h of only 1.97 seconds, which is comparable to many top-class supercars. At the same time, its braking system is also excellent, and the braking distance of 100-0km/h is only 25 meters, showing excellent handling performance. In addition, the body is made of carbon fiber, which not only greatly reduces the weight of the car, but also improves the handling and endurance, bringing drivers a more extreme driving experience.

The high performance of Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype undoubtedly provides strong support for its high price. In the high-end electric vehicle market, consumers’ pursuit of performance is often directly proportional to the price. Therefore, from the point of view of product performance and configuration, it is reasonable to price 800,000 yuan.

In addition, Xiaomi has been committed to enhancing the high-end image of the brand. The launch of the high-priced Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype not only helps to consolidate Xiaomi’s position in the high-end market, but also enhances the overall value and influence of the brand. In the market competition pattern, there have been successful cases of high-priced models such as Tesla Model Slaid and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, indicating that consumers have a certain degree of acceptance for high-priced high-end electric vehicles. Therefore, Xiaomi’s introduction of high-priced models is also in line with the trend of market competition.

Goldman Sachs’ prediction of Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype also provides a basis for market recognition for its high selling price. Goldman Sachs predicts that this model will sell 4,000 units in 2025, with an average price of 800,000 yuan. Although this is only a forecast, it also reflects the market’s expectation and recognition of the high price of Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype to some extent.

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Prototype is not only a further promotion of the high-end strategy of its own brand, but also a strong impetus to the active expansion of market space and technological innovation. First of all, the introduction of high-priced models will help to enhance the brand image and overall value of Xiaomi Automobile. In the global automobile market, high-end brands often represent higher quality and technical level. Xiaomi can further enhance its popularity and influence in the global market by launching high-priced models.

Secondly, with the increasing awareness and acceptance of electric vehicles by consumers, the high-end electric vehicle market is gradually emerging. Xiaomi’s introduction of high-priced models will help to occupy a place in this emerging market, expand market space, and achieve sales growth and market share improvement.

Finally, high-priced models often need higher technical content and added value to support their selling prices. Therefore, Xiaomi’s launch of high-priced models will promote its research and development and innovation in core technology fields such as battery technology, drive system and intelligent driving. This will not only help to enhance the overall competitiveness of Xiaomi automobile, but also bring consumers a more advanced and intelligent driving experience.

Xiaomi will launch the SU7 Ultra Prototype with a price of 800,000 yuan. Although the pricing has not been officially confirmed, it is possible and reasonable to price it at 800,000 yuan in terms of product performance, high-end brand demand, market competition pattern and Goldman Sachs forecast. This move will have a positive impact on the brand image, market space and technological innovation of Xiaomi Automobile, and lay a solid foundation for the future development of Xiaomi Automobile.

The comedian organized a group to drag the opera, and the film "The Great Anti-school" was set.

Today (11th), the official announcement of the comedy film "Big Anti-Faction" will be released nationwide on April 4th. It is reported that the film has assembled more than 20 gold medal comedians, which will bring a relaxed and joyful work to the audience during the Qingming small holiday.

The comedian organized a group to drag the opera, and the film "The Great Anti-school" was set.

The movie "The Great Anti-Faction" tells the story of the little actor Bi Chao (Bao Beier) who finally got the chance to play the big villain after all the hardships. However, Bi Chao accidentally lost his memory and mistakenly thought that he was a suspect in the kidnapping case. With amnesia, he was determined to "go against the sky and change his life" and continue his plan of "kidnapping the richest man", but he did not expect to be crushed in action. Bi Chao, who was unarmed, was not only starved and beaten along the way, but also offended three gangsters who wanted money and didn’t want to die. Can Bi Chao’s goal be achieved in the end, and what kind of jokes will he encounter? It remains to be seen.

In the preview of the film’s "This villain is not very clever" version, a news report confessed that "kidnapper" Bi Chao was running around the city, but it was completely inconsistent with the description of "extremely vicious" in the report. Bi Chao not only had no money to be sent back to his original place by taxi driver, but also was caught by the security guard and ate several "big pockets" in the process of secretly stepping on the spot. The robber Bi Chao experienced all kinds of oolong events in the process of completing the goal of "kidnapping the richest man", and the unreasonable storyline also attracted the audience to burst into laughter, all of which revealed the film purpose of "making fun". And dazzling female stars, resplendent party scenes and other "eye-catching" pictures are also very eye-catching.

At the same time, there are also big scenes of "package stimulation" such as drifting around the corner and flying car blasting, which instantly boost the adrenaline of the audience. At the end of the preview, the richest man was not afraid of the robbers who caught up, and even boasted that "this is bulletproof glass", but he didn’t expect to be backhand. Bi Chao directly opened the car door, raised his pistol and said, "Get off!" It will break the game in an instant, and the relationship between the robbers and the rich will be reversed instantly. Subverting the brain hole and constantly reversing the comedy burden has also made the audience increasingly look forward to what interesting plots will follow.

The film assembled more than 20 golden comedy lineups that made people "smile", and all the performers staged a "drama in the play" that was constantly reversed. Bao Beier, the leading actor, became a distinctive "villain" this time, which was crushed by reality and brought a refreshing hilarious experience to the audience. The actors such as Xiao Spicy Li Jiaqi, Dayong Zhou, Clara, Wei Xiang, Jia Bing, Yang Haoyu and Andrew, who all appeared in the preview, are even more eye-catching. The super comedy lineup joined forces to attack, and everyone collectively shook their burdens and pulled the "laugh" fruit full.

The car will not give way to each other, and the "road anger" man actually instructed the truck to hit the car.

  Guangzhou Daily News (all-media reporters Jessica Fong Ching correspondent Li Xiaoyuan and Zhou Bo) On March 23rd this year, a movie-like "car-chasing and intercepting play" was staged on Jinsha Road in Haizhu District, Guangzhou. In order to stop a car, two large trucks did not hesitate to chase the car for one kilometer, cross the line, turn around and even hit the other car’s head. It turned out that the driver of this car had beaten with another car driver, Zhou, because of the problem of not giving way to each other in the narrow road. When Zhou was angry, he called relatives driving big trucks to intercept each other. On the morning of July 30th, Guangzhou Haizhu District People’s Court held a public hearing on Zhou’s case of suspected trouble-making, and pronounced a sentence in court. Zhou was sentenced to seven months’ imprisonment.

  According to the prosecution’s allegations, at 22: 40 on March 23 this year, when the defendant Zhou drove a car out of Innovation Road via Xinmin Sixth Street in Haizhu District, he met Kuang Mouming driving a car from Innovation Road to Xinmin Sixth Street. Because of the narrow road, two cars cannot pass at the same time. Due to the problem of avoiding the car, the defendant Zhou had an argument with Kuang Mouming and his co-pilot Kuang Mouhua, and then the two sides beat each other.

  After a "scuffle", Kuang Mouming and Kuang Mouhua drove away first, and the defendant Zhou immediately left a voice message on his relatives’ WeChat group using WeChat, claiming that he was injured in Xinmin Sixth Street and asked his relatives to come over to help chase him by car. At the same time, he also called relatives to inform them to drive to the scene.

  Later, two large trucks called by the defendant Zhou arrived at the scene, and Zhou sat on one of the large trucks and commanded to catch up with the car for nearly one kilometer. When chasing after the Jinsha gas station near Jinsha Road in Haizhu District, Zhou’s big truck intercepted the small car driven by Kuang Mouming. When Kuang Mouming saw it, he turned around and fled. At this time, another big truck rushed from the opposite lane and crossed the line and crashed into the small car driven by Kuang Mouming, causing damage to the left front of the car and the left rear mirror.

  After Kuang Mouming was hit and stopped, Zhou’s big truck immediately stepped forward to intercept. Zhou and others got off the cab and wanted to rush to the vehicle driven by Kuang Mouming. When Kuang Mouming saw it, he immediately drove away from the scene and called the police for help. Subsequently, the defendant Zhou was arrested by the police. After identification, the injuries of Kuang Mouming and Kuang Mouhua were all minor injuries, and the loss price of the car driven by Kuang Mouming was RMB 8663.22.

  The prosecutor asked in court, "Do you know the consequences of chasing cars on the main road?" "Why didn’t you call the police immediately?" Zhou argued that the reason why he informed his relatives to chase and intercept Kuang Mouming’s driving vehicle was that Kuang Mouming and Kuang Mouhua beat him and fled. He didn’t remember their license plates, only recognized cars and people, "just wanted to intercept the other vehicle and call the police", but there was no alarm after the collision.

  After trial, Haizhu District People’s Court held that the defendant Zhou chased and intercepted others, and the circumstances were bad; Arbitrary destruction of public or private property, if the circumstances are serious, has constituted the crime of stirring up trouble. The defendant Zhou confessed his crime truthfully after arriving at the case and voluntarily pleaded guilty, which can be given a lighter punishment according to law. The defendant, Zhou, had an altercation with Kuang Mouming’s party because of the meeting, and then beat each other. After Kuang Mouming’s party left, he still called others to drive the truck to catch up with and intercept the vehicle driven by Kuang Mouming. His behavior of catching up and intercepting had a great impact on traffic order, and he was given a heavier punishment as appropriate. Considering that Kuang Mouming was at fault, and the defendant Zhou had actively compensated Kuang Mouming for his losses, he was given a lighter punishment as appropriate. In the end, the court ruled that the defendant Zhou constituted a crime of seeking trouble and sentenced him to seven months in prison.

The biggest survival crisis of finless porpoises is to "starve" 1 million fry and release them into the Yangtze River.

  On May 24 this year, a newborn finless porpoise cub was separated from its mother and ran aground on the beach. Its fate touched the hearts of countless Nanjing people. But after 18 hours of emergency rescue, the "smiling angel" left us. "Even with artificial assistance, it is still difficult for cubs who leave their mothers to survive." Professor Yang Guang, Dean of the School of Life Sciences of Nanjing Normal University, told a cruel truth: the fate of this little finless porpoise may have been doomed. He believes that the only way to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy is to improve the ecological environment of the Yangtze River in all aspects, one of which is to restore the bait resources and prevent the finless porpoise from starving.

  Yesterday morning in Nanjing Jiangbin Park, all the 1 million fry subscribed by deji plaza were put into the Yangtze River. The reporter learned that this is the first time in China that an enterprise has initiated a release activity for the protection of finless porpoises.

  A rescue that was doomed from the beginning.

  The latest hot event about the finless porpoise was the "beaching incident of finless porpoise cubs" in Nanjing at the end of last month. This little finless porpoise was found by the public on the river beach of Yanziji Wharf at 4 pm that day. It was born about two or three days ago, but it hasn’t opened its eyes yet, and its breath is weak. At that time, the people involved in the rescue contacted the experts of Nanjing Underwater World, and on the other hand, the water police drove speedboats to patrol the river to find the trace of the female finless porpoise. "The finless porpoise is a mammal, and the newborn calf must be with its mother. This little finless porpoise must have been separated from its mother when it appeared alone, and the mother finless porpoise is likely to come back to find the child." Jiang Meng, secretary-general of the Nanjing finless porpoise protection association who participated in the rescue at that time, said.

  Until 8 o’clock in the evening, the female finless porpoise was still not found, and the little finless porpoise was forced to transfer to the underwater world for treatment. Regrettably, at 10 o’clock the next morning, the little finless porpoise died unfortunately before he opened his eyes to see the world. At that time, Jiang Meng waited all night in the underwater world and witnessed the whole process. He told the Yangzi Evening News reporter that the finless porpoise was once in good condition and could eat and breathe with artificial assistance. "But in the end, it was short of breath and emotional anxiety, and experts took various emergency measures. All have no effect." Jiang Meng said.

  The finless porpoise is a clever but fragile creature. Its intelligence is close to that of gorillas, and it knows how to hunt and prey collectively. However, the underage or newborn finless porpoise has almost no ability to live independently. Professor Yang Guang, dean of the School of Life Sciences of Nanjing Normal University, told the Yangzi Evening News reporter that the cub can’t eat and prey independently without its mother, and it must rely on breast milk for nutrition. "About half a year after birth, cubs can learn to live independently."

  The Yangzi Evening News reporter learned that the adult finless porpoise had survived under artificial rescue, but the cubs have not been successfully rescued so far. "The finless porpoise is too sensitive to the outside world. The artificial environment is different from nature, which will make it nervous. If the tension continues, it will lead to endocrine disorders and illness, which is fatal to the cubs." Professor Yang Guang said.

  What caused the little finless porpoise to be separated from its mother? "It may be a sudden encounter with a jet stream or an undercurrent, or it may be a human activity such as a ship sailing, a sudden whistle or a sudden increase in the sound of a motor, which may cause fright." Professor Yang Guang believes that the impact of human activities on the ecology of the Yangtze River is really interfering with the normal life and reproduction of finless porpoises.

  Finless porpoises at the top of the food chain but not enough to eat.

  Jiang Meng, secretary-general of Nanjing finless porpoise protection association, often observes finless porpoises on the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Bridge, and organizes volunteers to assist fishery administration departments to release finless porpoises’ food such as fry and bait into the Yangtze River. "Many times when feeding, we found that the finless porpoise soon emerged on the nearby river." The water of finless porpoise is called "Jiang Zhu worships the wind", which was once a unique scenery on the Yangtze River. Today, however, there is something bitter behind such a scene. He believes that the gathering and appearance of finless porpoises during feeding, on the one hand, shows that finless porpoises are very smart creatures, on the other hand, also shows that finless porpoises are starving and very hungry for food. Jiang Meng once paid attention to the records of finless porpoises found in recent years. He found that "finless porpoises were originally round and chubby, but many bodies were salvaged and found to be very thin, and after dissection, they found that their stomachs were empty."

  Relevant data show that the natural catch of fisheries in the Yangtze River is decreasing year by year, from 540,000 tons in 1954 to 70,000 tons in 2012. There are 175 endemic species in the Yangtze River, and more than half of them have been lost in the past five years. The long-term monitoring data of many scientific research institutions, such as the Institute of Aquatic Sciences of Chinese Academy of Sciences, show that the number of fry of the "four big fish" in the Yangtze River has dropped sharply, from more than 30 billion in the 1950s to less than 100 million in 2013.

  The reporter learned that in 2016, the closed fishing period of the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River was adjusted from March 1 to June 30, and it was extended from the past three months to four months. This move was to strengthen the protection of finless porpoises and other aquatic organisms in the Yangtze River. However, before the effective intervention of government departments, the phenomenon of cool fishing and overfishing in the Yangtze River was more serious. Illegal fishing activities such as fish frying, electric fishing, "ecstasy" and homeless nets are draining the fishery resources in the Yangtze River.

  "finless porpoises have no natural enemies in the Yangtze River. They can be said to be creatures at the top of the food chain. They are not very picky eaters, as long as they are fish within 20 cm in length. However, due to the exhaustion of fisheries in the Yangtze River, finless porpoises are in a state of starvation. " Professor Yang Guang said that in addition to accidental incidents such as accidental injuries caused by ship navigation and water pollution, the continuous decrease in the number of finless porpoises is ultimately caused by insufficient food resources.

  Deji plaza subscribed for 1 million fry to demonstrate scientific "release"

  Yesterday morning, at the Virescence Expo Aquatic Release Platform, deji plaza held the activity of "Yangtze River Aquatic Proliferation and Release". One million fry subscribed by deji plaza were all put into the Yangtze River. The Yangzi Evening News reporter learned that this is the first proliferation and release activity initiated by social forces in China for the protection of finless porpoises. Deji plaza made a scientific demonstration under the guidance of Nanjing Fishery Administration and Fishing Port Supervision and Management Office and Nanjing finless porpoise Protection Association.

  The so-called "proliferation and release" is the activity of releasing aquatic species or their parents into public waters such as oceans, rivers and lakes by artificial means. Proliferation and release can replenish and restore the population of biological resources, improve the population structure of organisms, and help maintain biodiversity and protect endangered species. According to statistics, in the past three years, Jiangsu has invested 230 million yuan in proliferation and release. In 2015, the province invested more than 79 million yuan, releasing more than 2.1 billion species, including 815 million marine economic species, 1.281 billion inland economic species and 8.48 million rare and endangered species.

  The subscription of Deji this time includes the fry of four major fishes in the Yangtze River (black carp, grass carp, silver carp and bighead carp) and the national second-class protected wild animal Myxocyprinus asiaticus. The Yangzi Evening News reporter saw at the scene that the fry were transported to the scene by special transport vehicles from the cultivation base cooked in Jiangning Lake. According to the breeder, these fry were specially bred for this proliferation and release, and cold oxygen transportation was used on the way to fully ensure their survival rate. Under the guidance of the staff of Nanjing Fishery Administration and Fishing Port Supervision and Management Office, the volunteers from deji plaza carefully dumped the fry, and along the long discharge embankment, countless fry swam across the slope and merged into the waves by the river. Fish fry are like countless black lines. As soon as they touch the water, they instantly swim away and go to the middle reaches of the river.

  The release activity was sponsored by deji plaza and Nanjing finless porpoise protection association. Jia Wei, deputy general manager of deji plaza, introduced the original intention of choosing the theme of "Saving Endangered Animals" on the occasion of the 10th anniversary. "The Yangtze finless porpoise is one of the closest endangered animals to us. We hope that through the release of the Yangtze River and the efforts of all sectors of society, more people will pay attention to the living conditions and protect the finless porpoise. To contribute to the protection of the Yangtze finless porpoise, improve the water quality of the Yangtze River and protect the biodiversity of the mother river. " Jia Wei said.

  Professor Yang Guang told reporters that finless porpoises mainly eat all kinds of fish in the Yangtze River, and they have no choice about the types of fish they eat, mainly depending on their size. "You don’t see it has teeth, but its teeth can only bite, not like people’s teeth have the ability to chew, so it eats fish, and generally fish within 20 cm can be eaten. "Therefore, the fry released this time, on the one hand, are four local fish, which enriches the fishery resources of the Yangtze River, on the other hand, it is also very suitable for finless porpoises to eat."

  So which fish or aquatic animals are suitable for release? At the scene, the fishery department also listed a list. Freshwater fish include: herring, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, bream, Eriocheir sinensis, fugu obscurus and other indigenous species with regional characteristics; Marine fish include: Pseudosciaena crocea, jellyfish, Cynoglossus semilaevis, swimming crab, prawn, Sole Sole, Meretrix meretrix, Sparus macrocephalus, etc. Rare and endangered aquatic animals: Chinese sturgeon, mullet, etc.

  Expert reminder > >

  Don’t throw these creatures into the Yangtze River again.

  "When volunteers of our association patrol the river, they often see citizens who spontaneously organize release activities in the river or along the Yangtze River." Jiang Meng told the Yangzi Evening News reporter that because the public does not know much about species knowledge, in many cases, the released species can not only improve the ecology and enrich fishery resources, but also cause damage. He listed the three most common creatures that were released by the people.

  Crocodile turtle: It is huge, up to 70 cm long. In the folk concept, releasing such a large turtle is a matter of "accumulating merits" and is favored by domestic enthusiasts. But in fact, the snapping turtle has nothing to do with compassion. It is extremely aggressive and has few natural enemies except alligators. "The most important thing is that the snapping turtle originated in the southeastern United States. If it is put into the Yangtze River, it will become a veritable intruder. Once it enters the Yangtze River, it will become a’ overlord’ and will take away the already scarce food source of the finless porpoise." Jiang Meng said.

  Snakehead: It is what we often call "mullet". Unlike snapping turtles, snakehead is a common local fish, which is distributed in all major river systems in China. It is also a delicious food on the table of the citizens and can be easily bought in the food market. "But what people often overlook is that snakehead is fierce, fertile and has a huge appetite, and can often eat all other fish in a lake or pond." Jiang Meng told reporters that because finless porpoises are at a disadvantage in quantity, they are unable to compete with snakehead, the "king of big stomachs", for limited bait resources.

  Brazilian tortoise: The most widely reared reptile in the world, but it is also listed as one of the most dangerous invasive species in the world because it plunders a lot of living resources. In China, many pet markets can see Brazilian tortoises on sale. Jiang Meng appealed that if citizens keep Brazilian tortoises for viewing, they should not be released into the wild or in the river. "Once they reach a brand-new ecological environment without a sufficient number of natural enemies, they will become a scourge and become an ecological disaster there." Jiang Meng said.

  Nanjing will launch the first "census" of finless porpoises this summer.

  At present, how many finless porpoises are there in Nanjing section of the Yangtze River? The statistics of the fishery administration department are "twenty or thirty", but there is no more accurate standard answer. Liu Jun, deputy director of Nanjing Fishery and Fishing Port Supervision and Management Office, told Yangzi Evening News reporter at the site of the proliferation and release activities held in deji plaza yesterday that this summer, the fishery administration department will launch the first "population census" of the Yangtze River finless porpoise in Nanjing, the top university in the United Nations for finless porpoise protection.

  The Yangzi Evening News reporter learned that the latest data about the Yangtze finless porpoise still comes from the 2012 Yangtze River Freshwater Dolphin Investigation Report. At that time, the population of Yangtze finless porpoises was about 1040, less than half of that before 2006, less than that of giant pandas, and showed an accelerated downward trend. However, the details about the finless porpoise in Nanjing section are still vague. Liu Jun introduced that in this survey, besides finding out the latest accurate data, we should also find out the "destructive factors" that affect the normal reproduction of finless porpoises, so as to provide scientific basis for future artificial protection. "The special funds for the current investigation have been approved and will be launched after the parties are properly prepared."

  Professor Yang Guang from Nanjing Normal University introduced that on October 9, 2014, Nanjing Yangtze finless porpoise nature reserve was established, covering 90% of the waters of Nanjing Yangtze River. He believes that it is essential to further strengthen the protection of Nanjing finless porpoise population and conduct a systematic scientific investigation. "The original data of 20 to 30 finless porpoises are very vague. As a provincial protected area, how many finless porpoises are there in this place, what are the activities of finless porpoises, and what changes have been made in the range of activities in spring and summer? Mastering some basic information of finless porpoises is the premise for us to effectively protect finless porpoises."

  Nanjing should also establish a "finless porpoise protection base"

  The finless porpoise is the flagship species of the Yangtze River ecosystem, and it is also an indicator species of biodiversity and ecosystem health in the Yangtze River. The survival crisis of the finless porpoise itself is like a wake-up call, warning the deterioration of the entire Yangtze River ecosystem. Professor Yang Guang believes that from the perspective of long-term protection of finless porpoises, Nanjing should refer to the model of "giant panda breeding base" and establish a "finless porpoise protection base". "Since there is such a finless porpoise population in Nanjing, if we want to better carry out protection and rescue work, we can consider establishing a finless porpoise protection center. At the beginning, we can use the resources and facilities of the underwater world to help the finless porpoise, but in the future, we need to set up a special finless porpoise protection center. " Professor Yang said that after the investigation, with scientific consideration and demonstration, the finless porpoise can be better protected through protection, rescue and artificial breeding.

  Deji celebrates its 10th anniversary.

  Give the stage to the endangered animals around you

  Jia Wei, deputy general manager of deji plaza, introduced that deji plaza will celebrate its 10th anniversary on June 26th this year. As a shopping center with humanistic care, deji plaza takes "saving endangered animals" as its theme, hoping to arouse Nanjing citizens’ concern for the environment. Yangzi Evening News reporter learned that in addition to subscribing for breeding, breeding and releasing, around the 10th anniversary, deji plaza also held a series of themed activities to protect finless porpoises and endangered animals.

  The largest finless porpoise sculpture in Nanjing was exhibited on the first floor of deji plaza.

  The 10th anniversary of deji plaza, with the theme of "Saving Endangered Animals", presented a series of themed activities. Among them, the artistic sculpture of finless porpoise named "Watch and Smile" is the most thought-provoking. The finless porpoise in the sculpture is smiling, but there are sad tears in his eyes. In the list of "Saving Endangered Animals" in the 10th anniversary of deji plaza, the Yangtze finless porpoise is an endangered animal living around us. This finless porpoise sculpture art exhibition is also to arouse more people’s awareness of caring for and protecting finless porpoises through more shocking art forms.

  The overall size of the work is 10 meters ×3.8 meters, which is nearly seven times the size of the real finless porpoise, showing its process from beginning to end, from real to virtual until it disappears, just like a sketch drawn by a pen that is about to break ink, and finally disappears into a line. After the neck of the finless porpoise, there are a lot of mottled plastic marks, just like the wounds on the finless porpoise, which are shocking; The rising tail is made of more than 2,000 meters of steel bars, which gradually becomes sparse backwards until the lines disappear in the air, symbolizing the process of the disappearance and extinction of the finless porpoise.

  On the 10th anniversary of deji plaza, the joint artists jointly presented the artistic sculpture of "Watching and Smiling" finless porpoise, which showed the status quo of the gradual disappearance of "smiling angel" finless porpoise with powerful artistic expression. Deji plaza said that through such soul-shaking works of art and theme activities, he hoped that more people could reflect on their indifference to nature and life, and called on more people to cry out from the bottom of their hearts: protect these "angels" who bring smiles to the world, coexist with every equal life and share the warmth from this world.

  The "Noah’s Ark" came to Deji Outdoor Square to show all kinds of endangered animals.

  At the same time, a huge boat-shaped device-"Noah’s Ark" also appeared in deji plaza Outdoor Square. This huge "Noah’s Ark" covers an area of about 600 square meters and has a double hull structure, with a total length of about 40 meters, a width of about 18 meters and a height of about 8 meters. In terms of material application, the hull uses a lot of wood grain plates, which truly restores the effect of wood grain hull and people’s original modeling imagination of Noah’s Ark. There are more than 1100 meters of steel and more than 1800 square meters of wood in the cabin, which makes it more in line with the hull structure and more integrated.

  "Ark" has a video viewing and experience space of 150 square meters. Through 10 sets of world-class projection and audio equipment and the overall super-large screen in the cabin, the public welfare propaganda film for saving endangered animals is broadcast, bringing an immersive audio-visual experience to the audience. On the deck at the top of the Ark, highly restored models of dozens of endangered animals, such as Asian elephants, mountain zebras, polar bears, South China tigers and elk, were also exhibited.

Up to now, four activities have been held. Volunteers, mainly parents and children, went to Qiaobei River Beach, Daqiao Park and Yanziji River Beach in Muyan Scenic Area to carry out activities such as garbage collection and biological knowledge popularization. Deji plaza hopes that the accumulated collection can create a clean home for the finless porpoise.

  In addition, during the 10th anniversary celebration, deji plaza will carefully select ten premium charity gift packages, each of which contains single items provided by several brands, and the amount of gift packages ranges from 6,000 yuan to 35,000 yuan. All the proceeds from the sales will be donated to the Nanjing finless porpoise protection association for the Yangtze finless porpoise protection project.
