Fruits, vegetables, spring tea, aquatic products … Senior buyers of all kinds of life interpret the fresh spring market.

Spring is coming soon, and all kinds of products in the fresh market are about to be updated. Senior buyers from their original lives introduced the fresh markets of fruits, vegetables, spring tea and aquatic products respectively.

Cat, a buyer of fruits, said that the fruit market in spring is particularly tropical, and a series of tropical fruits such as Indonesian mangosteen, Thai durian, Hainan mango and pineapple are very popular.

On the one hand, because other temperate producing areas mature in spring and there are fewer fruit categories listed; On the other hand, affected by the climate, the taste of fruits in tropical producing areas is generally more popular than that in other producing areas.

In addition to tropical fruits, in recent years, new domestic cherries and blueberries have been "actively attacked" in the spring, and with their increasingly stable quality and freshness advantages, they have gradually become hot in the market.

In addition, the star of the new season, New Zealand Jiapei Kiwifruit, is about to "return of the king". As a "key direct supplier" of Jiapei, Jiapei Kiwifruit has been tailor-made for its exclusive supply chain service guarantee scheme for many years since it signed a direct supply contract in 2015, making it a spring fresh fruit that platform users can "close their eyes" with peace of mind.

From May to May, a large number of seasonal fruits will be on the market in summer after fresh spring, and watermelons, honeydew melons, grapes, bayberry, peaches, etc., which are the dominant producing areas and characteristic varieties in China, will occupy the dining table; The kiwi fruit, blueberry and fresh durian from Southeast Asia among the imported fruits will also usher in the sales peak in May.

Recently, the original life mainly recommended spring visitors, sweet Sichuan Spring Festival rake oranges, and a rich, fruity Hainan Jinhuangmang and other fruits to users, so that users can taste the sweetness of spring from the branches.

People in China pay attention to "not eating from time to time". In spring, many places have the custom of "eating spring vegetables".

As the old saying goes, "eat buds in spring and melons in summer", many bud vegetables taste best in spring when they are fresh and tender, so the bud vegetables such as thunder shoots, Chinese toons and asparagus are the most popular.

Yi Hui, a buyer of vegetables, said that in addition to hot sprouts, seasonal vegetables such as morels, broad beans and children’s vegetables are also widely concerned by consumers under the influence of the custom of "eating spring vegetables".

When the weather gradually turns hot, many people are prone to stomach heat, thirst and loss of appetite. At this time, thieves do not steal tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, fruit and corn, which can be eaten raw and have a refreshing taste, and usually start to sell well in the market.

Recently, the original life recommended to users the fresh and watery Anji Lei bamboo shoots, as well as the "spring vegetables" such as the fresh and delicious Morchella in the western Sichuan Plateau, so that users can eat the freshest seasonal vegetables in spring at the first time.

Lu Yu once said in the Book of Tea, "All tea picking is between February, March and April." Generally speaking, the quality of spring tea is relatively good in a year. Every spring, with the pre-sale and listing of spring tea in various tea areas, the tea market will usher in a wave of consumption peaks.

Wang Fa, a buyer of life tea, said that in recent years, with more and more young people joining the army of drinking tea, tea has gradually become a demand and synonym for socialization and health care.

Young consumers prefer tea that is convenient to brew, such as blended tea, freeze-dried tea and teabag, and they are more personalized about the taste and packaging of tea.

Comparatively speaking, business people and mature people prefer to choose original leaf teas with high quality and added value, such as West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Huangshan Mao Feng, Taiping Monkey Kui and other green teas.

In addition, under the trend of healthy consumption, people pay more attention to the efficacy of tea. For example, in spring and summer, the effects of clearing liver and improving eyesight, relieving summer heat and cooling, invigorating stomach and promoting digestion are the main decision-making factors for consumers to choose tea products.

Recently, the original life mainly recommended a variety of pre-sale spring teas to users, including West Lake Longjing and Biluochun, "core producing area+first harvest in early spring", to ensure that users can buy and drink the first tea before tomorrow.

Dong Lei, a buyer of aquatic products, said that after a series of "hard dishes" were bombed during the Spring Festival, many people began to adjust their diet after the holiday and paid attention to choosing light foods. In addition, there has always been a folk saying that "nourishing the liver in spring". Fish with high protein, low fat and rich in nutrients such as unsaturated fatty acids can not only supplement high-quality protein, but also nourish the liver and replenish blood, which has become the preferred ingredient for many consumers to eat lightly and make up in spring.

In summer, when the temperature is hot, consumers prefer aquatic ingredients to meat and poultry products. At the same time, the popularity of the night market has rebounded, and the "barbecue season" has further boosted the consumption of fish, shrimp and shellfish, and fresh shellfish such as crayfish, oysters and mussels have ushered in the peak consumption season.

Recently, the original life specially planned the topic of "light food after the holiday", and selected a variety of aquatic products such as French silver cod and Chilean salmon to provide users with more convenient and rich shopping choices.

Snake fist versus tiger fist, dagger versus wooden stick, chain gun versus flower knife, hammer versus sword … …Although there is no special effect support, the fist-to-fist fight of real kung fu is still very impactful.

Angry Children: The spring of domestic children’s movies with children in their hands is coming again!

    Special feature of 1905 film network In 2013, a low-key children’s film was released in mainland China. This film was not only called "China version of" Little Ghost in Charge ",but also gathered many big-name stars to help out. Even Andy Lau was" reduced "to only appear in the eggs at the end of the film. This movie, which stars hold children, makes us see the spring of domestic children’s movies — —

    If we simply look at this film as a children’s film, then it can definitely gain children’s love. However, if we regard it as a family movie, apart from the "cottage" component, there are also great loopholes in the coherence of the story.

    Sun Xiaoao is an eccentric naughty boy. Father Sun Jianye and mother work in Russia, and Xiao Ao has been taken care of by his taciturn grandfather. Grandpa’s iconic language — — Eight words.

    The holiday is coming, but grandpa is ill and in the hospital. Helpless, my parents hired a T-rex nanny to look after Xiao Ao. Xiaoao, who has been eager for the care of his parents, was once again stood up by his father on the grounds of work. In anger, Xiaoao couldn’t bear to leave home.

    If you want to run away from home, the first thing is to prepare the necessary equipment. Slingshot, mobile phone, bank card, snack … No one can be left behind. After the equipment was properly packed, Xiaoao successfully obtained the key to open the door by using his clever brain.

    And three times five divided by two will successfully avoid the tracking of all monitors in the community. It can be said that the IQ of Xiaoguitou is absolutely crushed by many adults sitting there (including Xiaobian himself, of course).

    Xiaoao, who finally escaped from the community, unexpectedly found a little girl Lan Lan on the way. After learning that Lan Lan was being watched by two bad guys and tried to take her away, Xiao Ao decided to save the beauty, protect her little sister and escort her to find her relatives successfully.

    It turned out that Lan Lan was a little beggar who was used by criminal gangs. She wanted to escape from the control of criminal gangs and go back to her hometown to find her relatives. Unexpectedly, because of the tracker, I have been unable to escape from the bad guys.

    Xiao Ao used a slingshot to rescue Lan Lan from the stupid thief who followed her many times, and he got to know an old man with a strong Jianghu spirit.


    Grandpa not only gave Xiao Ao and Lan Lan delicious hot noodle soup when they were hungry. It is also when the children are in danger that they lend a helping hand.

    The stupid thief not only failed to catch the two children many times, but also suffered from his own injuries, and even was caught in a sack and was about to be sent to the public security bureau.

    The BOSS of Big BOSS couldn’t bear it any longer, and he absolutely caught two children by himself.

    The two children are not only caught by the bad guys, but also hit a wall on the way to help Lan Lan find his family. It turns out that Lan Lan’s family has already moved away from the original site …

    The film revolves around a lot of opponents between children and bad guys, which is not only funny but also warm. The reason why it is called "China’s version of" Little Ghost in Charge "is not only because the plot is similar, but also because the image interpretation of the small actors in the film makes the audience shine.

Whole nanny

    Although the nanny is a Tyrannosaurus rex, it is not a problem in Xiao Ao’s eyes ~ I successfully got the nanny in minutes.

Abuse bad guys

    Xiaoao obviously doesn’t take two stupid thieves seriously. Not only does he completely crush two bad guys intellectually, but he doesn’t lose adults physically.

Liao sister

    Xiaoao made a surprising speech at an early age and easily said, "I’ll protect you." "I’m here." (Ladies and gentlemen, don’t code up quickly. )

Meet a drinking friend

    The scene of Xiao Ao drinking with the grandpa in the noodle restaurant must be a highlight of the film. Xiaoao’s appearance of not forgetting to cover the key parts naked after drinking and getting drunk can be said to be very cute ~

    These plots not only let us see a real, lovely clever kid, but also make people think deeply after laughing. This may also be the advantage of Angry Children over other similar children’s films.

    Because the film is centered on the social problem of "family" and "left-behind children", isn’t it because of the lack of parents’ care for their children that Xiao Ao ran away from home?


    Although the film does not directly point out this topic, it is reflected in many nuances. For example, Xiao Ao amuses himself and kills boring time. Another example is Xiao Ao’s depression and sadness when he talks about his parents with Lan Lan.

    Lonely childhood really shouldn’t appear on any child. When the film draws to a close and everything ends with "a sense of security for the old and a sense of security for the young", the audience will inevitably look at themselves and their families through the film.


So, don’t "make trouble" for children ~

Celebrate the Lantern Festival and enjoy the "Chinese Aesthetics" in the Winter Olympics

This article is transferred from: People’s Daily Online
On February 15th, the Lantern Festival is coming, and many winter Olympics-themed activities are held to celebrate the Lantern Festival, creating a strong festive atmosphere. This year’s Spring Festival and Lantern Festival coincide with the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the ice pier inspired by folk customs and the snow capacity based on red lanterns merge into a "top flow". The "fastest ice" in the "Ice Ribbon" helped the Olympic Games, the far-off "Happy Snow" and the Great Wall of Wan Li to amaze the world. China’s traditional culture is the core, which integrates innovation and modern technology. Chinese aesthetics in the Beijing Winter Olympics leads the new trend of cultural life.
Who can not love the naive ice pier? Since the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, this panda-based mascot "circle powder" has been numerous, which has gained widespread love and attention. "Yidundun" Japanese TV reporter Geng Gang Yitang became "tap water". In addition to broadcasting news, he also displayed the ice pier badge he wore online. As auspicious messengers of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Bing Dundun and Xue Rongrong impressed friends at home and abroad with their vivid and classic artistic images, promoted the deep integration of Chinese civilization and world civilization, and presented new styles and new developments of traditional cultural elements.
Jiaozi, roast duck, and VR games, after the games, many athletes also turned into "UP masters", showing the daily life of the Winter Olympic Village. Recently, Anna Hoffman, a 21-year-old ski jumper from the United States, made a video on overseas social platforms and gained more than 200,000 likes. In the video, she showed the "Snow Ruyi" under the night sky, and at the same time excitedly introduced: "I want to show you something very powerful. Not far from the" Snow Ruyi "platform, there is a ridge with bright light, which is nothing but the Great Wall of Wan Li!" Canadian biathlon athlete Adam Lu nars, on the overseas social platform "photo wall", showed his passionate skiing on the field. He also wrote an article pointing out the Great Wall far away from the field, which also gained a lot of praise. Netizens left messages "Cool!"
In the design of "snow as you wish", athletes can see the Great Wall in the distance at the moment of flying. Even if you don’t fly, under the illumination of night lights, "snow is as good as you wish" and the Great Wall shine in the distance. The unique design concept makes "Snow Ruyi" a online celebrity building in the Winter Olympics, attracting athletes from all over the world to punch in.
The image landscape of Beijing Winter Olympics embodies Chinese aesthetics everywhere. Almost every professional ice and snow stadium has a beautiful Chinese name, such as Ice Ribbon, Snow Ruyi, Snow Flying, Snow Youlong and Snow Flying Swallow. On February 8th, Gu Ailing took a stunning jump on the ski platform "Snow Flying" in Shougang, Beijing, which reversed the unfavorable situation and won the third gold medal for the China delegation, which was also her first Winter Olympics medal. The design of "Snow Flying" was inspired by Dunhuang murals. The designer said that starting from the English name of the track "Big Air", it was allowed to leap into the air to the greatest extent, thus finding the elements of flying in Dunhuang.
Who holds color training and dances in the air? Flying to the ribbon of the sky, with hope and blessing. Athletes gallop their dreams of competition here and make them come true with hard work.
Thick as spring clouds and light as smoke. On February 14th, China ice dance group Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu danced on the ice in costumes inspired by China’s famous painting A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains. In the end, they ranked 12th, setting a new record for China athletes in the Winter Olympics. The costumes with the charm of Danqing and the smart dancing show the charm of China traditional culture. In an interview with reporters, Wang Shiyue said: "We hope to show the strength of Asia and China to the whole world in the international arena."
Today is the Lantern Festival and the 12th day of the Beijing Winter Olympics. While celebrating the festival, the passionate competition is still going on. When China’s traditional culture meets the Winter Olympics, the ancient civilization will continue to write new contents and chapters for this Olympic movement.

Miscellaneous Essay | Looking forward to singing and dancing dancing on CCTV’s "Lantern Festival"

□ zhang yi
Recently, it has been discovered that many children from the media short video platform are playing tricks and selling cute, and even intentionally take scripts written by adults to educate adults in the opposite direction to love their wives and honor the elderly. On the whole, oral literature and static "performance" are the mainstay, which is noisy and generally quiet. However, there are some short videos that are very exciting. For example, in Shanwei, Guangdong Province, a girl came on stage to perform Tiger and Lion Boxing, which was powerful and full of gas. In singing and dancing, Chaoshan area, there are hordes of seven or eight-year-old children in front, seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys behind, which is very spectacular, and there is a singing and dancing performance team composed of special little girls.
This masculine and dynamic cultural form itself allows people to see the spirit of contemporary teenagers and deeply feel that "the country is strong when young people are strong" and there is hope for the future.
One yin and one yang is called Tao. This is true for individuals, and so is culture, which has nothing to do with gender itself. One hundred and forty thousand people are disarmed, and none of them is a man? The masculinity of a nation is righteousness, backbone, courage and awe-inspiring. This thing is related to the backbone and vigor, and everyone should have it, regardless of men, women and children. With this spirit, personality will not be reconciled, life will have temperature, and society will be sunny enough. Hua Mulan, She Taijun, Mu Guiying, Liang Hongyu, Qiu Jin, Liu Hulan, Jiang Zhujun, Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, Yu Qian, Wen Tianxiang, Chen Tianhua, Yang Jingyu, and Huang Jiguang made us full of passion and tears, just because they had such a spirit. Only with this spirit, can we have a vision pattern of swallowing Wan Li like a tiger, a great love and kindness that everything is ready for me, and a courage to walk the world with my head held high. If you wriggle there every day, feel sorry for yourself, be selfish, paint your face, and be beautiful, how can there be thousands of beautiful rivers and mountains and fireworks?
When people talk about "northerners and southerners", they are not the north and south in the geographical sense, but the yin and yang in the personality state; When people of insight find that femininity "goes north" and masculinity "goes south", they are not talking about new differences in regional culture, but that femininity in northern culture is getting stronger and stronger, while masculinity in southern culture is getting stronger and stronger, which is concentrated in cultural landscapes, especially tourist scenes. Such obvious differences in cultural personality or cultural performance style may be a major topic worthy of careful study. Cultural self-confidence is essentially an innate sense of pride, which has little to do with memorizing hundreds of Tang poems. How many people have read books for decades, and their minds are full of "Zi Yue Shi Yun" plus "Joyce, Novalis, Marquez, Borges", and the famous aphorisms about integrity and courage and integrity are memorized, but they have no courage to go back to the village to give money to their relatives and followers. If you can’t live a good life with your eyes twinkling and people bowing, how can you be masculine?
In the Tao Te Ching, it is said that "everything is done without care, without it, it is not to rely on it, but to live a life that is unnatural, natural and daring to be natural". Everyone should live proudly, be rich, have a hand, be talented, have food, be beautiful, have a cat, have a land, have a brother … Be proud of what you have, and be confident in what you have. Isn’t this masculinity coming? So you don’t have to be short all the time? Don’t blame the world for being too snobbish, but it’s always not masculine at heart. This is true for adults, especially for teenagers. In the English Lion Dance Team or singing and dancing, boys and girls are full of masculinity and smiling, and no one in the team looks depressed because they failed in the final exam or attended a vocational school. Go outdoors more, run and jump more, fight more, take part in some cultural activities with strong action, take advantage of "youth", watch more "martial arts dramas" with hands and feet all by strength, and watch less literary dramas with intrigue all by acting skills, which is good for your health, good mood and future. It would be great if singing and dancing danced on CCTV and had a "Lantern Festival" with the audience, especially the children who are facing school anxiety.

For the first time in the past decade, the national lottery sales have decreased by more than 30 billion for half a year.

  ■ In June, a total of 34.767 billion yuan of lottery tickets were sold nationwide, a decrease of 23.862 billion yuan or 40.7% over the same period of last year.

  ■ Not only did the monthly data decline, but the reporter combed the lottery sales data in the first half of the past decade and found that the lottery sales showed negative growth year-on-year for the first time in the first half of this year.

  ■ What causes the lottery market to be cold? What is the future trend of lottery market? The reporter combed and interviewed this.

  Encounter cold

  In the first half of the year, national lottery sales fell first.

  Lottery sales were cold this year. From January to June, the national lottery sales totaled 212.596 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 32.602 billion yuan or 13.3%. Among them, the sales of welfare lottery institutions was 97.757 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 12.838 billion yuan or 11.6%; The sales of sports lottery institutions reached 114.839 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 19.764 billion yuan or 14.7%.

  The reporter combed 2010 — The lottery sales data in the first half of the decade in 2019 found that this was the first time that there was a year-on-year decline.

  Judging from the monthly data, in June this year, the country sold a total of 34.767 billion yuan of lottery tickets, down 40.7% from the same period of last year. The year-on-year decline was mainly due to the large sales of quiz lottery games in the World Cup in June 2018, with a high base in the same period last year. In the first half of 2018, lottery sales increased by as much as 19.6%.

  Looking back on the lottery market in the past ten years, from 2010 to 2012, it experienced a double-digit rapid growth period, and then the growth rate gradually decreased to single digits, and negative growth occurred for the first time in the first half of 2019.

  The data shows that from 2010 to the first half of 2012, the national lottery sales maintained a rapid growth of more than 20%, which was a period of rapid growth of China’s lottery market; In 2013 and 2014, the growth rate of national lottery sales fell below 20%; From 2015 to the first half of 2017, the growth rate of national lottery sales dropped significantly, only 5.2%, 3.5% and 5.5% respectively.

  Where do people prefer to buy lottery tickets when lottery sales are relatively low? Geographically, data from the Ministry of Finance show that in June, compared with the same period of last year, lottery sales in 31 provinces all declined. However, from the cumulative data in the first half of the year, compared with the same period of last year, lottery sales in five provinces increased, namely Sichuan, Shanghai, Henan, Anhui and Beijing, with year-on-year increases of 1.681 billion yuan, 234 million yuan, 190 million yuan, 172 million yuan and 45 million yuan respectively. As far as the overall sales volume in the first half of the year is concerned, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang and Henan rank among the top five in the country.

  cause

  Strengthen the supervision of high-frequency fast-opening games

  Why did lottery sales decline in the first half of this year? An expert in the lottery industry told reporters that at the beginning of this year, in order to regulate the lottery market, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other departments strengthened the supervision of high-frequency quick-opening games and quiz games, extended the sales time of high-frequency quick-opening games and reduced the number of lottery games.

  High-frequency fast-opening games mainly complete the process from sales to lottery every few minutes or ten minutes through electronic equipment.

  The data shows that in 2017, the share of Fucai quick-opening games in the total sales of Fucai reached 40%. In that year, the total sales volume of national welfare lottery was 216.977 billion yuan, of which the sales of quick-opening games was 87.522 billion yuan.

  A lottery player told reporters: "The number of high-frequency fast-opening games is small, there are many awards, and the lottery is frequent. Many domestic lottery buyers are speculative when buying high-frequency fast-opening games, and some lottery buyers can play all day and easily lose their minds."

  The reporter noted that in January this year, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the General Administration of Sports issued a notice to adjust the rules of high-frequency fast-opening lottery games and quiz lottery games, and strengthen the supervision of the lottery market. According to the notice, in recent years, China’s lottery industry has generally shown a sustained and healthy development trend. At the same time, there are still irrational lottery buying phenomena in the lottery market, such as unauthorized use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets and large bets. In particular, the market supervision of welfare lottery quick-opening games, sports lottery high-frequency games and sports lottery national online single-game quiz games needs to be strengthened. The notice is clear. From February 11th, if the sales time of high-frequency quick-start games is shorter than 20 minutes, it will be adjusted to 20 minutes.

  Since 2019, the number of contests and events for the annual quiz game shall not be higher than 70% of the number of contests and events for sale in 2018. The aforementioned experts also pointed out to reporters that the main reason is that there was a World Cup in June 2018. At that time, the sales volume of lottery was particularly large, and the sales volume of sports lottery was also particularly large. However, there were no important sports events in June this year. The sharp decline in sports lottery sales in June was an important factor in the decline in lottery sales in the first half of the year.

  Ban on sale

  Internet lottery is banned.

  The ban on internet lottery sales also has an impact on lottery sales. The reporter noted that in August 2018, the Ministry of Finance and other 12 departments jointly issued a document resolutely prohibiting the unauthorized use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets.

  Internet lottery had previously shown a blowout growth trend in 2014. The huge sales volume of nearly 100 billion yuan makes internet lottery purchase an important force to promote the development of lottery market.

  In 2014, Internet lottery experienced a glorious period. Major sports events, including the World Cup in Brazil, boosted the sales of Internet lottery by 102% from 42 billion yuan in 2013 to 85 billion yuan, accounting for 20% of the total lottery sales. According to the Analysis Report of Internet Lottery Market in 2014, there were more than 100 million users in China who bought lottery tickets through Internet channels, and the Internet became an important betting platform and channel for users.

  Since then, since 2015, the Ministry of Finance and other departments have repeatedly issued a document to prohibit the sale of lottery tickets through Internet channels. However, during the 2018 World Cup, a large number of mobile apps illegally sold lottery tickets through the Internet.

  At that time, there were many fish that escaped from the net without being investigated. According to media reports, some apps have stopped selling lottery tickets through the search of "lottery tickets" in Android and Apple mobile phone stores, but there are still many softwares that can buy lottery tickets. In the early days of the World Cup last year, many companies launched online lottery platforms again. Finally, many online football lottery platforms such as "Winning the lottery every day" and "Everyone Winning the lottery" stopped selling on June 20 last year.

  Standardize the management of welfare lottery issuance

  The corruption case of Fucai Center exposed last year aroused social concern. On November 9, 2018, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection published a heavy article: "Pay equal attention to reduction and suppression, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, rebuild the credibility of Fucai, and the discipline inspection and supervision team stationed in the Ministry of Civil Affairs will promote the formation of a good political ecology from typical cases", with more than 4,000 words, and released confession videos of four former leaders of China Welfare Lottery Issuance Management Center.

  Statistics show that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, at least 14 people in the civil affairs system have been held accountable for issues related to welfare lottery. Fucai’s anti-corruption has a long time span and a wide range, and has become a case of systematic corruption. In addition to the four leading characters in the confession video published on the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, four members of the party group, including Li Liguo, former Minister of Civil Affairs, Dou Yupei, former head of the discipline inspection team in the Ministry, Qu Shuhui and Chen Chuanshu, former president of the China Aging Association, were held accountable.

  After the corruption case of Welfare Lottery, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has improved the management system of welfare lottery issuance, sales, distribution and use of public welfare funds, such as changes in the internal institutions in charge of welfare lottery management.

  According to the Regulations of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on Functional Allocation, Internal Organizations and Staffing, before the reform, the management of welfare lottery was in charge of the Department of Social Welfare and Charity Promotion; After the reform, the welfare lottery management has been refined, and the planning and finance department and the newly established charity promotion and social work department are in charge.

  On July 29, the Ministry of Civil Affairs held a press conference, and the relevant person in charge introduced that there are three main reform directions in regulating the issuance and management of welfare lottery tickets. First, cooperate with the Ministry of Finance, comprehensively rectify the unauthorized use of the Internet to sell welfare lottery tickets, and comprehensively conduct self-examination and inspection of national welfare lottery institutions and consignment agents. Second, vigorously adjust the rules of the quick opening game of welfare lottery to resolve the market risks of welfare lottery. The third is to improve the welfare lottery issuance management system.

  Fire scene.


  


  Grandpa was burned in the head.


  Guangzhou Daily reported on March 10th.At 7: 30 pm last night, a fire broke out in a street-facing house in Yanbu, Nanhai, Foshan. A 7-year-old girl and her younger brother under 4 years old were burned alive at home. According to preliminary understanding, before the fire broke out, grandpa went out to call and locked it in the house, and the two brothers and sisters accidentally caused a fire by playing with fire at home.


  After the fire broke out, grandpa immediately rushed home to open the rolling gate. When he saw the fire, he was nervous and did not rescue the child in time. When neighbors and fire officers and soldiers helped them fight the fire, they learned that there were two children in the house, but it was too late and the children had been burnt.


  At present, the relevant departments of Foshan Nanhai are investigating this fire.


  The scene of the incident:


  The pink schoolbag is covered with dust.


  The place where the fire broke out was the storefront downstairs of a villager’s self-built building in Hubang New Village, Yanbu, Nanhai, Foshan. The storefront was not open normally, and more than 10 square meters of cabins were divided into "duplex" for home use, with an attic as a bedroom on the top and a hall, kitchen and utility room on the bottom.


  At 9: 30 am yesterday, the periphery of the incident scene was blocked by the police. The reporter saw that the outside wall of the store was almost blackened, and the house was in a mess. The walls and ceilings were blackened, the boards used as partition walls were burnt into coke, a thick layer of ashes was accumulated on the ground, the front of a motorcycle placed at the door was burnt out, and the washing machine was burnt into waves. There is also a small pink schoolbag on the stool at the door, which is covered with white dust.


  At about 10 o’clock, the child’s grandfather came to the scene to assist in the investigation, and his forehead was burned. Subsequently, the child’s mother also rushed to the scene. After a night, their mood was slightly calm. With the help of the police, the child’s mother cleaned up the indoor items.


  At about 11 o’clock, the police took the child’s grandfather to the scene of the fire for identification. At 11: 30, after the basic investigation of the fire scene was completed, the police closed the scene again.


  Sad memories:


  The child died after the fire was put out.


  Alan (pseudonym) lives not far away. She said that at about 7: 30 pm that day, she suddenly found smoke billowing from the incident site. "After more than ten seconds, I heard an explosion, and then I saw the open flame start to jump out." Alan said that she saw her grandfather running out screaming while flapping the flames. She quickly ran to the Tiger List market to find security guards to put out the fire, and at the same time, she and her neighbors took out buckets from home to put out the fire. Two supermarket employees across the street also used fire extinguishers to put out the fire.


  While everyone was busy putting out the fire, the son of the landlord upstairs suddenly asked his grandfather if there were any children in the house. Grandpa just came to himself at this time and stammered that the two children were still inside. Ten minutes after the alarm, the firefighters rushed to the scene and quickly put out the fire.


  Auntie said that after the fire was extinguished, the children’s mothers, grandmothers and fathers also came one after another. Grandma rushed into the house to find her grandson, and she fainted at the scene. The child’s mother sat on the ground crying, while the child’s father squatted in the corner with his head in tears.


  At 11 o’clock last night, in order to avoid the family members from being too sad after seeing the burnt child, the police cut off the power supply near the scene of the incident before the fire officers and soldiers took the child’s body out.


  On the day of the incident:


  Before the fire, Miss Sister was happy to eat candy.


  Ms. Zeng, the grocery store owner who is only five storefronts away from the fire site, told the reporter that the children who were burned to death were two brothers and sisters. The 7-year-old sister was named Lili and the younger brother was only 4 years old.


  Neighbor Alan said that the two children are very good, and the chubby sister often leads her brother to play at the door. She clearly remembers that on the day of the incident, when Lili passed by her door, she accidentally dropped the candy on the ground and was so anxious that she wanted to cry. Her mother gave her another candy, and Lili ran away happily.


  Preliminary investigation:


  Grandpa went out to play fireworks indoors with his younger brother and sister.


  The reporter learned from the survey in Hubang Market that the resident in Hubang New Village is surnamed Xu, and his family is hardworking and capable. He once ran a rice shop business nearby a year ago, and then found a storefront in the market to start hardware and groceries business. At the same time, he rented No.61, and the Xu family lived in this place of more than 10 square meters. A small utility room was separated by wooden boards as a warehouse. In addition to quilts and mops, there were a small number of fireworks and firecrackers in the warehouse.


  "Lili’s parents usually do business, while grandpa and grandma take care of their grandchildren at home." Neighbors told reporters that due to the busy business of the grocery store, on the day of the incident, grandma only left grandpa at home to accompany her granddaughter and grandson and went to the market to help herself. At 7: 30 pm, grandpa pulled the shutter to lock the younger brother and sister at home and called a nearby public telephone booth. About 10 minutes later, when he came home, a fire broke out at home. "There is something wrong with his spirit", and he was immediately scared by the thick smoke.


  Yesterday morning, the police conducted an investigation on the scene of the incident. According to the preliminary investigation results, it may be that the younger brother and sister played with fireworks indoors and accidentally ignited other flammable materials, causing a fire. "They should have set those goods on fire while playing inside," Lili’s grandfather said yesterday.
