Today’s focus: The Hualien earthquake shook up Taiwan’s little genius; the floods in Guangdong ravaged Xi Jinping and went to Chongqing to make a big pie; the gas meter fraud incident caused a big scandal; the background of China Resources Gas is unfathomable; China’s new four great inventions are far ahead.

Hualien earthquake shakes up Taiwan’s young genius

There was another earthquake in Hualien, Taiwan. Four earthquakes occurred in three consecutive days, and another building was tilted like the Uranus Building. To be honest, I really admire the psychological quality of Hualien people. Frequent earthquakes do not prevent Hualien people from living their lives happily.

When I was traveling around Taiwan at the beginning of the year, I passed by Hualien and the elder brother who drove our tour guide said something: How to distinguish Taiwanese locals from tourists? When an earthquake occurs, tourists must be the ones who panic, while Taiwanese people are calm and do whatever they need to do.

On Monday afternoon and early Tuesday morning, Hualien, Taiwan, experienced successive strong earthquakes. The first one was at around 5 o’clock on Monday evening. Even Taipei City could feel it. An AFP reporter in Taiwan said that he could feel the building shaking violently. “The glass in the bathroom and window made noise”. This was followed by a 6.0-magnitude earthquake at around 2 a.m. on Tuesday, a larger 6.3-magnitude earthquake six minutes later, and a fourth 4.4-magnitude earthquake at around 1 a.m. on Wednesday. Taiwan’s Central Meteorological Administration said the epicenters of the first three earthquakes were in the eastern Hualien area, and these four earthquakes were all aftershocks of the April 3 earthquake that killed 17 people.

A residential building and a closed hotel tilted in downtown Hualien, and an idle factory building collapsed. Fortunately, no casualties were caused.

Wu Jianfu, director of the Earthquake Forecasting Center of the Taiwan Meteorological Administration, pointed out a phenomenon: the epicenter of the earthquake that started on Monday has slowly moved to the land; it is not ruled out that there will be larger-scale earthquakes in the next six months to one year. Due to the recent earthquakes in Taiwan, the number of Taiwanese people using mobile apps related to earthquake notifications has increased significantly. But what no one expected was that the top ranking of related mobile apps was developed by a high school student.

Recently, an iPhone app in Taiwan that can predict earthquakes in advance suddenly became popular. According to user recommendations: this app called “Taiwan Earthquake Alert” can actually receive earthquake warnings a few seconds ago, and also It shows how long it will take for the seismic wave to arrive, allowing users to respond early and leave the danger zone. This app quickly became popular and pushed to the top of the rankings. Have you noticed that the third place is the official earthquake forecast of the Central Meteorological Administration? What is more unexpected is that the developer of this “Taiwan Earthquake Rapid Report” is actually in Lin Ziyou, a senior in high school at Kangqiao International School in New Taipei City.

Lin Ziyou said that when he was in elementary school, he came across private earthquake warnings and felt that the data should be applied to a mobile app. So he taught himself how to write code and started developing it during the winter vacation of the year before last. It took him a year and a half and was officially launched during the summer vacation last year. This “Taiwan Earthquake Quick Report” was created entirely by myself in my spare time. Recently, it was downloaded more than 310,000 times in one week.

Speaking of which, there are two short stories here. One is that the usage of Lin Ziyou’s “Taiwan Earthquake Quick Report” suddenly increased sharply. Lin Ziyou issued a notice on Tuesday afternoon: “Due to the recent surge in users, some errors have occurred. I am deeply aware that Sorry. We are currently aware of the related issues and will fix them as soon as possible. This app is only maintained by one high school student, so I would like to ask everyone to be patient and give me some time to improve. Thank you!” In addition, this free earthquake forecasting app has been launched. He caused trouble: there were not many users before, and the server access fee used by this App only cost NT$7.3 per month. In April, it soared to NT$8,300, and the more people used it, the more people used it. , the higher the fee, fortunately Lin Ziyou’s father can still sponsor and support.

I think, with such a talent, Taiwan’s Central Meteorological Administration can work hand in hand with this talented man and help him financially. Who dares to say that he is not Taiwan’s future star? You have to act quickly, otherwise, I think American universities will have to strike first.

Guangdong Province has been hit by heavy rains for days, with half of the land submerged in water.

The recent disaster has not only affected Hualien, Taiwan, but also Guangdong Province, across the Taiwan Strait, has been hit by heavy rains for days, causing almost half of Guangdong’s land to be soaked in water.

Since April 19th, there have been continuous heavy rains in Guangdong Province, China, affecting cities including Zhaoqing, Qingyuan, Shaoguan, Guangzhou, Huizhou, Heyuan, Meizhou, etc. The official statement: As of the 22nd, floods in Guangdong have caused at least 4 deaths and 10 missing people , 110,000 people were forced to leave their homes. Reuters stated that large-scale floods are covering southern China, with 127 million people at risk. You may have no idea. Let’s take a look at the flash floods caused by heavy rains in Guangdong. They are as dangerous as the Yangtze River bursting.

Qingyuan City, also known as Fengcheng, is only more than 70 kilometers away from Guangzhou. It is the hardest hit area by this flood. Qingyuan City has a population of nearly 5 million. Let’s take a look at what happened after the flood entered the residential areas of Qingyuan City and Yingde City under its jurisdiction. situation.

After suffering such a huge disaster, and it was a large-scale disaster in Guangdong Province, China’s most economically developed province, it seemed to have no news on the Chinese Internet. It finally made it to the hot search list, but was immediately taken down artificially. Mr. Huang, a villager in the suburbs of Qingyuan City, said that the floods caused him personal losses of more than 100,000 yuan, but he did not receive any rescue and no one took care of him.

The National Meteorological Center of China warned that in addition to Guangdong Province, coastal Shenzhen and Hong Kong, as well as Fujian, Guizhou, Guangxi and other provinces adjacent to Guangdong, will have continuous heavy rainfall. Just when floods were raging in Guangdong Province, from April 22 to 23, Xi Jinping once again said there was a disaster in the southeast and went to Chongqing in the southwest to inspect. Some people say that if they go to Chongqing to investigate the Chongqing gas meter fraud incident that has recently shocked the country, it can be considered an emergency.

But how can anyone care about such trivial matters? According to reports, they are inspecting and guiding international logistics hub parks and so-called democratic village communities, as well as digital city operations and governance centers. Have you heard: “International Logistics”, “Democratic Village”, “Digitalization”, they sound so lofty and lofty. This is another way to describe a bigger green pie for the leeks. As for floods and the like, President Xi has long published the book “Important Discourse on Flood Control”, which pointed out the clear path for floods in advance. It is my fault that everyone did not study and understand it in depth. Look, the floods are coming. Everyone We haven’t achieved one book per person, so who can you blame? !

Gas meter fraud is a big deal

In the previous episode, I specifically talked about the “gas meter fraud” incident in Chongqing and other areas. Unexpectedly, the incident of cutting leeks by state-owned enterprises, which was originally a secretive matter, actually made Chongqing people who focus on spicy hot pot and Longmen array anxious, and a large number of people took to the streets to protest over this matter.

Originally, the government just asked state-owned enterprises to change their watches and secretly harvest a handful of money. But since everyone is unwilling to give face and insists on exposing the family’s ugly face, there is no need to pretend anymore.

Local governments have begun to adopt the policy of publicly adjusting prices since they are not allowed to adjust meters to collect money. Isn’t it illegal this time? It is reported that more than 130 cities and counties across China have successively issued price adjustment notices. The statement is still so lofty, it is called: the residential natural gas price adjustment mechanism will be fully promoted. In the words translated by ordinary people: You don’t want us to steal? We will rob it openly. Some netizens gave this approach a very “positive” evaluation: Between the price increase and the use of watches to steal the readings, it is more upright to rob.

Others say: This will completely change the Chinese people’s cooking habits of “frying over high heat and burning with smoke.” Some people even tortured the leeks from the height of “patriotism”: You even care about your natural gas and “the motherland”. What reason do you have to say that you “love the motherland”?

Sure enough, someone posted a message begging for mercy after being “educated”. On April 22, a netizen from Kunshan, Jiangsu Province posted that because his home’s gas bill had doubled, he wrote an article calling for a thorough investigation into the problems of Suzhou China Resources Gas Company. As a result, China Resources Gas Company, which is also the largest shareholder of Chongqing Gas, called her and asked her to delete the post. 20 minutes later, the police came to her door and conducted a home investigation on the pretext of anti-fraud. After that, her husband was interviewed by the company boss and asked her to delete the post. Finally, she posted an apology. I pray that China Resources Gas Company will spare me and my family.

As a result, before the two parties could reconcile, someone first discovered that the registration place of China Resources Gas Holdings Co., Ltd., which everyone thought was a state-owned enterprise, was actually in Baimuda. I have actually been to Bermuda on a cruise ship. It is a palm-sized British island very close to the United States. There is basically nothing to do on the island except the sea and beaches. The actual controller of China Resources Gas Company is: China Resources Corporation, also known as China Resources Group, which is a real state-owned enterprise of the Communist Party of China.

Someone knowledgeable revealed how this trick is played: China Resources Group has a large number of subsidiaries starting with “China Resources”, including China Resources Gas Holdings. Whenever you want to get preferential policies from the state, you should get them in the name of “state-owned enterprises”. When billions of profits are divided equally, it is done through these private subsidiaries. Anyway, the Chinese people can’t see it, and foreign exchange controls don’t dare to control the Zhao family.

I just didn’t expect that the leeks harvested by the CCP’s state-owned enterprises in China would be sent to Bermuda, thousands of miles away, where UFOs are frequented, to scramble eggs, and then put them on their own plates and eat them with red wine. This is “patriotic” Her body skills are indeed more Versailles than those of ordinary little pinks.

China’s four new great inventions

Someone recently posted: China’s local governments have no money, so the time has come for comprehensive price increases for water and electricity. And summarized the four new great inventions that China, as a big country in the East, has contributed to the world. They are: smart water meter; smart electricity meter; smart gas meter; smart oil meter. The water meter can rotate without water and air; the electric meter consumes more electricity than the generated electricity; the gas meter can generate gas and fly at high speed; the oil meter, a 50-liter tank can display 70 liters of oil. Therefore, the final conclusion is that China’s four famous watch technologies are far ahead, far ahead.
