The chaos in the fitness instructor industry started: qualification training exams such as "buying food"

  Investigation motive

  With the implementation of the national fitness policy and the public’s concern about health problems, more people began to walk into gyms. Where there is demand, there is a market, and gyms around citizens’ places of residence have mushroomed everywhere. However, as the fitness market becomes more and more popular, many problems are gradually exposed, among which the professional problem of fitness instructors is the most reflected by the public. How to identify the qualification of fitness instructor? How to standardize and effectively supervise the fitness market? Around these problems, the reporter of Legal Daily conducted an investigation on the fitness market in Beijing.

  □ Legal Daily reporter Lian Yingting

  At 7 o’clock every night, the members who come to the gym crowded the small gym and sweated on all kinds of equipment, while a coach stared at the members’ movements.

  This is a chain gym located in Beijing’s North Fourth Ring Road. Jing He worked out in this gym, but after two weeks of exercise, Jing He decided not to go here again.

  Jing He, who has many years’ experience in horse racing and fitness, found the problem without practicing here for several times. "The coaches here are unprofessional." Jing He told the Legal Daily reporter bluntly, "I found that many members’ actions were wrong, but the coaches didn’t correct them, and even some coaches’ actions were wrong. It is too dangerous to exercise like this. "

  In recent years, the popularity of the fitness market has made many people smell business opportunities. Not only gyms can be seen everywhere, but also some fitness instructor training institutions have emerged. However, whether it is a gym or a coach training institution, its professionalism is worrying.

  According to the investigation by the reporter of Legal Daily, most of these coach training institutions have short training time and low gold content in their certificates. In addition, the threshold for fitness coaches is low and there is no uniform standard for qualification certificates, which leads to uneven levels of coaches in the domestic fitness industry, chaotic fitness coach qualification examinations and lack of supervision.

  Fitness instructor qualification training

  You can pass the exam by paying.

  On the morning of September 19th, the reporter of Legal Daily went to a gym in Wangjing, Beijing, which was in a relatively prosperous area and medium-sized. After entering the gym, the reporter found that the fitness equipment here is different from the traditional fitness equipment.

  Manager Wu Jiao told the reporter that this store belongs to foreign countries, which is different from the route taken by ordinary gyms in China. "All our technical systems are imported from the United States."

  The reporter saw in this gym that a whiteboard records the daily training contents and achievements of members, and the coach gives lectures to members intensively every day. This form is rare.

  As for the teaching staff, Wu Jiao told reporters that the coaches here are all certificates issued by foreign countries, and all coaches have to undergo all the training in the technical system before they can take up their posts. If you want to get this kind of primary certificate issued abroad, you only need to train for two days and then take the exam, and the rest of the time is self-study. It is more difficult to get a higher level certificate. First, you have to pass the English test, and second, the professional training exam is also real.

  According to the reporter’s investigation, the qualification certificates of fitness instructors mainly include Asian Fitness Certificate, National Fitness Instructor Professional Qualification Certificate, American Fitness Certificate, CSCS Fitness Instructor Certificate and other certificates issued by domestic fitness colleges. Among them, the National Physical Fitness Association (NSCA) registered physical fitness training experts (CSCS) certification pass rate is very low.

  At present, domestic fitness instructors generally have two certificates, one is the national fitness instructor professional qualification certificate issued by the Vocational Skills Center of the State Sports General Administration, and the other is the Asian physical fitness certificate.

  An industry insider told reporters that the Asian Physical Fitness Certificate is the easiest to obtain, so most fitness instructors have this certificate. The National Fitness Coach Professional Qualification Certificate is jointly made by the State Sports Bureau and non-governmental organizations. In fact, non-governmental organizations borrow the signboard of the Sports Bureau.

  Wang Weida, who works as a fitness instructor, told the Legal Daily reporter that the national fitness instructor’s professional qualification certificate is not a hard indicator. However, in order to attract members to buy classes, many gyms will encourage coaches to do more research, making more and more coach training institutions cooperate with gyms.

  The process of this kind of textual research is to pay the training institution a fee of about 3,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan, train for about one week, and then take the exam.

  Wang Weida said: "This kind of exam is easy to pass. Even if you fail, you can make up the exam for free. Nowadays, the demand for fitness instructors is in short supply, so many training institutions can let you live for money, which is beneficial to both sides. If the training fails for half a day, the money is equal to nothing, so as long as you pay, you have to let them pass. "

  According to Bao Ke, a fitness and bodybuilding teacher in Beijing Sport University, there are not many professional coach training institutions. Many training institutions want to seize this opportunity to make a fortune, so they will train and issue certificates as soon as possible.

  "Now there are many certificates that are more interesting, such as qualification certificate and training certificate. The qualification certificate means that you passed the exam through training, and the training certificate means that you participated in the training." Burke said.

  The teaching staff is uneven

  How much is the main business of coaching?

  According to the reporter’s investigation, at present, there is no rigid requirement in the fitness industry that you must hold a certificate before you can take up your post. Therefore, some people without professional background can take up their posts after short-term training. The threshold of fitness industry is too low, which gives many non-professionals the opportunity to enter.

  Leo, a bodybuilding student, told the reporter of Legal Daily, "When we are training in the gym, we often see many unprofessional coaches instructing members to make some wrong moves, which will lead to muscle injury in the long run. The so-called coaches have never studied systematic courses at all, and even some gyms will post the qualifications in the coach’s resume on the wall in order to attract members to buy courses. There are all kinds of certificates, which are actually fictitious. "

  "In fact, many gyms lack professional coaches. I brought 48 bodybuilding graduates this year, and only 4 of them chose to work in the gym, but there are many gyms that I want this year. At present, the gym mainly depends on sales performance, not that the salary you get with good skills is relatively high. In the final analysis, it depends on how to make money for the gym, which also leads some more professional fitness instructors to choose this line. " Bao Ke said that in the gym, selling courses has become the coach’s main business. As long as the courses are sold more and can help the gym make money, nothing else is important. It turns out that every gym has a tour coach, who will guide all members for free to attract customers to buy his private lessons. Now, coaches don’t want to make a tour, but sell more private lessons, giving less and less guidance to members unless you are willing to pay a higher price for private lessons. Therefore, many gym coaches are now looking at money.

  Jing He also told reporters that once, when she was exercising, she saw the coaches in the gym receiving training. "When I listened carefully, I didn’t train professional knowledge at all, but taught them how to sell private lessons.".

  Bao Ke also mentioned that at present, there is no good evaluation mechanism for the qualifications of coaches in China, which also leads to uneven levels of fitness coaches.

  "Now the national fitness is advocated, and the fitness market is also hot, but from a practical point of view, every member can really benefit very little, and the gyms that really do this can be said to be rare." Burke said.

  Regarding the reasons for this kind of problem, Bao Ke believes that there is no special regulatory body in China, and the fitness market is basically market-oriented.

  Coach qualification standards to be unified

  Training institutions need to strengthen supervision.

  In November, 2015, the Career Development Report of Fitness Coaches in China released by the Vocational Skills Appraisal Guidance Center of the State General Administration of Sport stated that in the private education industry, 52% of the "newcomers" who have been employed for one to three years have professional background, and the remaining 48% have no professional background.

  Guo Yong, a bodybuilding coach of the national team and a lecturer in bodybuilding major at Beijing Sport University, told the Legal Daily reporter that professional background mainly refers to sports-related background, such as students from sports institutes and sports majors, not necessarily specialized in fitness.

  In addition to professional background, those who have been promoted from different channels to coaches hold different certificates. At present, there are no uniform norms and standards for the qualification of fitness instructors in China.

  "I think it is difficult for the fitness instructor qualification certificate to reach a unified standard, and it is also difficult to achieve effective supervision." Bao Ke said that the fitness instructor grade examination in the Human Resources Center of the General Administration of Sport is relatively formal. However, in order to standardize and effectively supervise, I personally think that the gym needs to cooperate first, that is, you can’t work without a qualification certificate; Secondly, improve the member identification ability; Finally, the industrial and commercial department should assess how many teachers and abilities there are in the gym, instead of having a business license and a venue to open a gym.

  Wu Jiao believes that we should start from the source, that is, the operator. Operators must attach importance to coaches first, and train coaches from all aspects, instead of letting coaches be salespeople. Now many coaches basically sell classes after going to the gym; Secondly, for coaches, we should pay more attention to the evaluation of members or the performance of teaching. If we only look at how many classes have been sold, the professionalism of the coaches themselves will not improve. In addition, there is nothing wrong with letting go of the threshold. The key is how to train these coaches after entering, which is a very key link.

  Guo Yong believes that the chaos in the fitness market is a normal phenomenon, and all industries have such a process, which gradually moves from immaturity to maturity, from non-standardization to standardization, and from professionalism to professionalism.

  "I think that the qualifications of fitness instructors in the future are diversified, and fitness instructors are a skill. It is impossible to force the qualification examination at present. Moreover, it cannot be said that the qualification certificates issued by some institutions are not good. I think the training of fitness instructors is much better than before, and there will definitely be more and more training institutions in the future. In the end, who can stay depends on the market. " Guo Yong said.

The bone health problems of middle-aged and elderly people are serious, and the prevalence rate of people over 65 years old is 32%

  Study cartoon schematic diagram. Photo courtesy of respondents

  There are problems such as drug resistance and drug toxicity, and it is impossible to completely reverse the damaged bone — — There are still some defects in the conventional anti-bone resorption drugs and bone anabolic drugs that have been used at present. For the elderly with declining organ function, it is difficult to bear the whole course of treatment, which restricts the overall effect of conventional anti-osteoporosis treatment.

  On the eve of the World Osteoporosis Day on October 20th, Professor Fan Shunwu, Director of Orthopedics of sir run run shaw hospital, and the research team of Professor Tang Ruikang from the Department of Chemistry of Zhejiang University published a research result in the international authoritative magazine JACS. Through a new nano-material, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) can be adsorbed on the bone surface in a targeted way, which can inhibit osteoclasts and fundamentally prevent osteoporosis. The team proved that it can inhibit the bone destruction of osteoclasts safely and intelligently through the in vivo experiments of mouse osteoporosis model.

  The "termite disease" that eats bones needs to be cured urgently.

  Osteoporosis is a kind of senile bone disease with decreased bone density and bone quality due to various reasons. With the acceleration of social aging in China, its incidence rate is getting higher and higher. In 2018, National Health Commission released the epidemiological survey of osteoporosis in China for the first time. The results show that China is 40-mdash; The prevalence rate of osteoporosis in 49-year-old population is 3.2%, that in 50-year-old population is 19.2%, and that in 65-year-old population is 32%. The bone health problems of middle-aged and elderly people in China are serious, and the population with low bone mass is huge, especially women.

  "Young people should also pay attention to early prevention. Unhealthy lifestyles such as unbalanced diet, long-term meditation, smoking and drinking, and too little sunshine will affect the accumulation of basic bone mass, and bone mass is more likely to be lost after entering middle-aged and elderly people. " Lin Xianfeng, the first author of the above research paper and the attending physician of the Department of Orthopaedics, Run Run Shaw Hospital of Zhejiang University, said that it is conservatively estimated that the population of osteoporosis in China is close to 90 million.

  According to the existing research, the primary cause of osteoporosis is the abnormal activation of osteoclasts, and the "acid" secreted by osteoclasts is considered to be the key initial factor of osteoclasts’ bone destruction and a necessary prerequisite for their degradation of bone tissue.

  "If human bones are compared to a big tree, then osteoclasts are termites in the big tree. Once the activities of termites become active for various reasons, even the towering trees will collapse due to long-term decay." Fan Shunwu explained.

  At present, the main drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis in clinic can achieve the purpose of anti-bone absorption and promoting bone synthesis and metabolism by focusing on the biological regulation of osteoclasts or osteoblasts, which can slow down the loss of bone mass in the elderly to a certain extent, but there is no key initial step of killing the external acid environment formed by osteoclasts from the source.

  "Therefore, the existing drugs cannot completely reverse the bone destruction that has occurred, and non-bone selective administration will also lead to off-target and other organ toxic side effects." Fan Shunwu said that this series of problems has led to the poor clinical treatment effect of osteoporosis.

  After acid and alkali neutralization, it is made into "biological armor"

  Amazingly, baking soda reacts with acid, consuming hydrogen ions and producing carbon dioxide — — The "acid-base neutralization reaction" that people can learn in middle school has been unlocked by the research team.

  According to reports, although osteoclasts are the source of osteoporosis, many studies show that they can promote bone formation and blood vessel formation as "precursor cells" before acid secretion, so it is very important to accurately target and inhibit osteoclasts.

  Based on the basic chemical principle of acid-base neutralization, the research team has packed nontoxic and harmless baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) into a safe nanocapsule (liposome), and loaded tetracycline with bone binding force on the surface to enable it to be targeted and adsorbed on the bone surface. When osteoclasts secrete acid to destroy bone tissue, they will immediately release sodium bicarbonate, inhibit the function of osteoclasts, and achieve the goal of fundamentally preventing osteoporosis.

  Tang Ruikang explained that, generally speaking, after the baking soda alkaline liposome material enters the body, it will form an alkaline "biological armor" for the bone and maintain the acid-base balance of the local microenvironment of the bone.

  Lin Xianfeng introduced that this armor is more like the "soft armor" in martial arts novels. It has no interference with ordinary cells, but it has intelligent and long-term defense effects on cells that actively attack bone tissue like osteoclasts.

  Studies have fully confirmed that sodium bicarbonate liposome material can completely prevent osteoclasts of osteoporosis mice from secreting acidic substances and dissolving bones in animals, and it has been confirmed by a series of observation methods such as micro-CT that it can preventively prevent the loss of bone mass, so that the bone mass can be preserved to a nearly normal and healthy level.

  "We also confirmed the safety of this study on non-acid-secreting cells (osteoblasts, chondrocytes, mesenchymal stem cells, etc.) in the main organs and bone tissues of mice." Lin Xianfeng said.

  "The new intelligent material used in the research is not a scarce object. The key synthetic raw materials it uses, such as sodium bicarbonate, liposomes and tetracycline, are all safe substances that have been widely used in clinic for a long time." Fan Shunwu believes that this is a favorable condition for the results to be put into clinical application.

  "This study has opened up a new idea for the treatment of osteoporosis with new nano-drugs through its precise and intelligent effect on osteoclasts." Lin Xianfeng said that on the whole, this study shows a good prospect of clinical transformation and follows the treatment concept of "from biology" that we have always admired.

The appearance of new films such as "Backstabbing" is that they are changing China movies!


Special feature of 1905 film network In the past week, the film circle has been very lively.filmExposeJing Bo RanandRonghao LiIn the tidbits of the set, the shapes of the two were also exposed. It is understood that the film was successfully filmed in Harbin in May.


Recently, the film also shot in Northeast China was announced to be successful, while the film also exposed the tidbits of Zhou Dongyu and Haoran Liu.


In fact, the two films are full of many things in common: they both involve crime themes, and the directors are both newcomers to meet the audience.Are these same elements just coincidences?

 

When we carefully observe the box office of Chinese movies in the past two years, we can find that among the top ten Chinese movie box offices in 2019, three works were directed by newcomers, especially the first and second.

 

In the top ten box office of Chinese movies in 2018, the works directed by newcomers accounted for almost half. On the contrary, those veteran directors who once led the market have not achieved the expected market results of their new works.

 

In today’s market, when the audience is waiting for the new director’s work to come out, it seems that they expect the new director to be like a "dark horse" and bring us freshness and changes.Tao Tao, a film critic, has served as a judge of many new director awards and activities.variousIt tells us that when he watched the works of young Chinese directors, he found that these directors were intentionally turning from the previous thinking of art films to the creative orientation of genre films.

 

Undoubtedly, these young directors, especially the post-80s directors, are bringing fresh blood to Chinese films with their own efforts.


Creative transformation of business types


Typing.This keyword is frequently mentioned in our interview.Due to the Beijing International Film Festival andShanghai International Film FestivalIt was postponed one after another, and the venture capital meeting of the FIRST Youth Film Festival became the first venture capital meeting in China to announce the project plan this year.According to official data, in this year’s FIRST Venture Capital Fair, the proportion of crime, fantasy, comedy and other types of films has been the highest in the past three years.



Although there are still many themes such as family and youth in the official proposals, in these works, most creators are no longer satisfied with telling a story of pure family and youth, but instead begin to explore the development of other types of elements and the upgrading of the author’s expression under this theme framework.

 

It can be seen that the creative thinking of young creators is changing in this era.

 

This change has the momentum that the back wave impacts the front wave. When we look back on the fifth and sixth generation directors, we can find that their first films have laid the foundation for their subsequent creation. Today, most of them are still interested in staying away from genre films and commercial film systems and paying attention to the artistic expression of the authors.

 

Of course, the possibility of change is mostly guided by the market.After the National Day in 2015, a group of new directors’ works were released together. At that time, many movies ended up with word of mouth and no box office, onlyXin YukunThe director’s first filmSurprised everyone.


At that time, it was predicted that the success of this film would bring more possibilities for subsequent types of films; Of course, some people lament that it may only become a successful orphan.

 

Five years have passed, and it has been proved that after the Labyrinth of the Heart, there have been many films in the market that combine comedy, crime and other elements.

 

In the venture capital unit of Shanghai International Film Festival last year, low-cost black suspense film projects were particularly favored by investors. According to Shen Yun, the judge of venture capital unit, such films may become the investment trend in the next few years, because they have established a bridge between the author’s expression and the market to some extent. When the realistic theme gradually becomes the mainstream of today’s market, this kind of realistic or magical realistic project with personal expression will naturally be welcomed by the market.

 


Kick for, the film marketing director of the FIRST Youth Film Festival, also told us that after the success of films such as Heart Labyrinth, they will receive some very imitative projects in recent years, which may be borrowed from the characters, story background and story structure, but it is difficult to see the special and stylized parts, which is an obvious change.


Wu, CEO of the film and television copyright trading platform "Yunlaiwu", also revealed to us that on this platform, the multi-line narrative structure is quite popular among young screenwriters, and the number of such scripts is also quite large.It can be seen that a number of small and beautiful works in the past have become popular in the market, which has also stimulated more young filmmakers to create similar themes.

 

The influence of the shadow complex


In the interview, Zhang Pu, director of Grey Monkey, never stinted on Quentin and guy ritchie. Wang Yichun’s and Dong Yue’s "Blizzard is Coming" do not shy away from paying tribute to them; Director Xin Yukun also draws lessons from and refers to the Korean crime theme … …

 

It can be seen that these young directors are all influenced by genre films in the world.

 

Tao Taolin told us that in his exchange experience with young directors, it was found that compared with the worship of Tarkovsky, antonioni, Bergman and other art masters by the fifth and sixth generation directors, the idols of these young directors have also changed.

 

"Compared with our predecessors, our generation has the honor to watch all kinds of master classics and genre masterpieces from all over the world in acquiring film knowledge, making Cohen Brothers, quentin tarantino, Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon ho, guy ritchie and other directors with strong styles become idols of a new generation of fans."


This group of directors who grew up in the Internet era have more opportunities to embrace genre films. Compared with their predecessors, they are more sensitive to the internet and are more keen on entertaining expression.


Of course, this influence is like a double-edged sword. The theme of crime has become the first choice in the creation of young directors.Xiaolian, who is in charge of film copyright sales on a video platform, told us that in the works of young directors they contacted in the past, crime films accounted for 80% of the genre films.


In Tao Taolin’s view, "the crime film has a strong genre model, and various elements such as suspense, action and murder are more convenient to implant, which makes it the first choice for young directors."

 

However, the Chinese genre films directed by young directors are still in a stage of reference and imitation. "Whether it is the image style, the film language and the narrative style, there are particularly obvious reference and reference traces, and it has not really formed its own style."

 

At the same time, the success of The Wandering Earth has emboldened many creators. The project planning of a head film company tells us that since the middle of last year, the number of projects with sci-fi themes or involving sci-fi elements has been much higher than in the past. Moreover, in the introduction of these projects, their benchmarking works are directed by Nolan.

 

In fact, genre films are likely to usher in more diversified development under the change of market wind direction. Although most of them are still in the primary stage of imitation and reference, as these directors polish their works one by one, they will gradually find their own style.


Ning Hao and Chen Sicheng are good examples. From the stage of learning and using for reference, they gradually realized the localization of genre and incorporated a lot of China folk culture into genre films.

 

Break the kidnapping of capital


Many people in the industry believe that although literary films are more easily recognized by film festivals, excellent genre films are actually more difficult. On the one hand, they need more investment support, on the other hand, they need more professional teams to intervene.

 

Weihao Cheng, director of "The Pursuit of Witnesses", admits that genre films will test the ability of young directors. He has said more than once that as a newcomer, the filming budget is limited, but the technical content of many scenes in genre films will be high, so it takes a lot of energy to prepare in the early stage, especially to test how we can show a stronger atmosphere with a small cost.

 

It is precisely because of these successful experiences in the past that Weihao Cheng has the opportunity to cooperate with Zhang zhen and Zhang Junning to shoot a new film "Seizing the Soul" with higher cost.



This kind of control actually lies in the director’s control over the budget, which can create infinite possibilities in the limited. Detective pu SonglingdirectorJia YanIn an interview with the media, I made a reply to the reasons for the failure of the work. He said, "These failures are all related to the budget. I can only tell you that the budget must be prepared before shooting, and it must be confirmed with the producer. "


It can be seen that the cooperative relationship between directors and producers also affects the quality of a work. When the new director is inexperienced, it will bring a lot of convenience to film creation if there are experienced producers involved. CarnivaldirectorVivian QuAlso said that the new director should not worry about lack of money, money can help improve production, but it is by no means a decisive factor.


At the same time, as a producer, she also gave her another level of thinking. "The director can be unconstrained, but the producer must predict the feasibility and can only allow a very small range of accidents. It cannot be said that the whole thing is an accident. The film should be presented in its best appearance, and at the same time, how to control the return in business should be considered. After all, the film is also a commodity. If the front is well controlled, there is no need to market it like that. "

 


It is true that it is an era of new directors, and various venture capital clubs and film companies have provided opportunities for new directors to show themselves through various support programs. However, under these opportunities, they can only create a truly universal film if they make a good story and integrate localized content into the film genre.

In the era when the Beatles were the most popular, who didn’t think about what it would be like to keep "mop head"?

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr have also been asked this question countless times, and they always replied jokingly, "What if we don’t leave Mop Top?"

On the 50th anniversary of the release of the band’s last album, Abbey Road, photographers who had close contact with the quartet recalled the past, which also allowed us to know some interesting inside stories of the band in its popular era.

In 1963, Philip Jones-Griffiths, a Magnum photographer, went backstage to shoot the Beatles’ concert at the Royal Theatre in Liverpool, just before the four became household names.

Although the photographer rarely talked about the story of his contact with the band when he was alive, his works are enough to tell everything, especially the one that took Ringo’s signature in underwear.

In 1950s and 1960s, this Welsh photographer recorded the life of the working class in his hometown of Radland, denbighshire and Liverpool. In 2008, before the publication of his solo album Recollections, he said, "(Liverpool) is a place for me to broaden my horizons, let me go out of the country and experience the outside world. I was enlightened and educated here and began to get in touch with multiculturalism. This bustling port city has become my favorite! "

After that, Jones Griffith went to Vietnam to record the war and used his works to change the American people’s views on this conflict. His works were uncompromising, and Bresson compared them to Goya’s war-themed prints.

By contrast, his meeting with the Beatles was relaxed and pleasant. "I spent most of my time in the dressing room, trying to get to know them," he later recalled. "The most wonderful thing was the letters from female fans, which shocked the whole band. Members commented,’ How do they know these things!’ "

When Jones Griffith met the Beatles, they were United and tacit, and their career had just started in Hamburg, Germany. And when another Magnum photographer, David Hurn, started shooting bands in 1964, a year later, their charm had swept the world.

In 1959, Hearn collaborated with director Richard Lester to film The Running, Jumping & Standing Still Film starring Peter Sellers. So during the production of A Hard Day’s Night, Hearn was invited to shoot on the set.

In a telephone interview from his home in Wales, he said: "The consensus reached between Lester and me is that although I often go to the set, I will not be like an ordinary still photographer. I am more interested in the relationship between fans and bands, so most of the photos taken are their responses to fans. "

Shooting began in early March 1964 and ended at the end of April. Halfway through the progress, "Beatlemania" reached its peak, and the top five on the Billboard charts in the United States were swept by bands at the same time, which is an unprecedented record.

It can be said that Hearn conducted this visual research on fan culture at the best time. The photographer said, "They are the most influential band in history, and I suspect their fans are also the most absurd and fanatical. The members couldn’t move a step. On several occasions, they were in my car, and the police had to let them go directly at the red light, because they knew that once the car stopped, it would be surrounded. This has a great impact on the four young people, and all kinds of unexpected things can happen. "

Fans stared at Ringo Starr, while the Beatles were filming A Hard Days Night, which was mainly shot on a moving train.

When the band faced this special "imprisonment" situation, Hearn was able to get to know them better. As screaming fans were kept out of the police line, members had to turn to secular entertainment to relieve their boring life. "What we used to do together included playing Monopoly," Hearn laughed. "My great regret is that I didn’t record these pictures, because I wanted to win the game so much that I didn’t even think of taking pictures with my camera!"

The picture of the quartet sitting around the piano in EMI Recording Studio (renamed Abbey Road Recording Studio a few years later) was also captured by Hearn, who thought this photo was worth collecting and truly described the natural state of the four people getting along.

"In my opinion-this is entirely a personal opinion-I’m not sure that their relationship is as good as it looks," the photographer said frankly. "This is because they seldom get together. You know, the kind that has no activities at night and goes to dinner together. Generally, people see four people posing together. Photographers sent by other newspapers will ask them to pose for photos together or make faces. I’m not interested in posing at all; To a certain extent, I think this is anti-photography. "

You know, as early as 1964, the relationship between Lennon and McCartney was already very complicated. "I’m not sure whether John and Paul like each other," Hearn said. "There is fierce competition between them, which makes them great creators. They also inspire each other, but I have never felt the state of friends in four people. "

In private, Hearn and Ringo get along best, and they once spent a Christmas together. The photographer thinks that this drummer is the most down-to-earth and the least competitive among the four people. "george harrison wants to be the best guitarist in the world. He made great efforts and went to India to learn all kinds of things. Paul and John write songs. They are always competing with each other. Ringo is the one who was left out. I like him very much. "

Almost no country can be immune to the charm of the Beatles beat. In June 1965, when Magnum photographer Ferdinando Scianna was shooting a band at Teatro Adriano in Rome, people’s enthusiasm for "The Beatles with Long Hair" left this Magnum photographer with a lifelong psychological shadow.

"It made me exhausted and disappointed …" Scianna told The Huffington Post in 2014. "In all the chaos, you couldn’t even hear the music, and the scene sounded worse than I expected. I was extremely nervous at the time, just like being bitten by a snake. Since then, I have hardly been to other rock concerts. "

In 1968, Lennon and McCartney announced the establishment of Apple Records at the Beatles press conference in new york, when photographer Elliott Landy went to shoot (some of his archival works are now represented by magnum photos). Although the scene at that time was not so chaotic, photographers still needed to seize the position.

"It was a scuffle," Randy said in a telephone interview from Woodstock’s home. "When I got to the scene, I could only stand anywhere. As a photographer, I never allow the need to shoot to overwhelm my manners. "

John Lennon and Paul McCortney announced the establishment of Apple Records at a press conference.

Randy said that the purpose of his photography is to capture the "essence" of a moment. "I think the most important picture is the whole scene: showing reporters and photographers shooting the Beatles and reflecting the state where Lennon and McCartney were at that time. The essence of that situation is that these two people are surrounded by many journalists and photographers, and people want to get some exclusive content from them. "

Also at this press conference, John Lennon said that the relationship between the band and Indian Maharishi Yogi was a mistake, but Randy admitted that he didn’t remember what was discussed at the scene that day: "In fact, I seldom listen to outside voices when taking pictures. All the brain power is concentrated on composition. "

Randy remembers two things vividly. First, he held a 22 mm lens over the heads of other photographers and took the picture that made him most proud: "This is a vertical composition photo with only two members. This photo is my favorite because it shows them dealing with the media. "

Another story is about another photographer, Linda Eastman, whom Randy met in Fillmore East, new york’s Lower East Side, when they were both filming live performances. "At the end of the press conference, Lennon and McCartney walked into the elevator, and she was with them," Eliot recalled with a smile. "She wasn’t taking pictures, so I remember that moment. I thought,’ Wow, that’s interesting.’ It’s surprising that she should know them. Of course, she married Paul later. "

On December 8th, John Lennon was shot five times outside his apartment in new york. Mark chapman, the shooter, was a stalker and got Lennon’s signature a few hours ago. Chapman is still serving his sentence in prison. A few days later, on December 14th, people gathered in Central Park to pray and mourn, and this photo was taken at that time. This place is now called "strawberry fields", just opposite the Dakota Building where Lennon lived before his death. 1980

Raymond Depardon, a French photographer and documentary producer from Magnum, never filmed the Beatles himself, but when John Lennon was assassinated in 1980, he happened to be in new york. In the short film "10 Minutes of Silence for John Lennon" (10 Minutes of Silence for John Lennon), he captured the scene that fans gathered in Central Park for a vigil.

Shortly after the filming was finished, Depadon said, "I happened to be in new york, and I heard the news of John Lennon’s assassination. What a coincidence." He has seen the announcements of the next mourning activities all around him, so he took a camera with a microphone and walked to the park, wandering in the crowd, away from the swarming media. The short film itself is restrained and quiet, but it is not lifeless silence; There was background noise and the police helicopter circled overhead. "I photographed everything around me; People on the ground are crying, and a whole generation is moved by his music. "

After a long silence, the crowd cheered spontaneously "People stood up and dried their tears, and then we heard Lennon’s music," said Depadong. "It was a postcard-like moment. A photographic freeze. "

Test Toyota Lingfang Dual Engine 2.5L Four-wheel Drive with Advantages and Disadvantages

  [car home Professional Evaluation] In the past two years, Honda and Toyota have been doing the same thing, that is, putting another car between their compact and medium-sized SUV models. The prices of these cars are cheaper than their big brother, but the workmanship configuration has surpassed that of the compact younger brother. Once these cars came out, they were basically well received and sold well. Toyota’s Lingfang is one of them. Today, I brought the test report of the flagship version of FAW Toyota-Lingfang HARRIER 2022 dual-engine 2.5L CVT four-wheel drive, which is the top model of the whole department with a guide price of 297,800 yuan.

● Comfort evaluation

  Lingfang’s seat is wide and thick, which is more comfortable to sit on. The inner padding of the seat cushion and backrest is soft and has no support or wrapping, but it is very comfortable to sit on. The front functional area is clear, and there is a physical air conditioning control area, so it is convenient to adjust the temperature and air volume.

  The experiencer is 180cm, weighs 62kg, and the front seat is adjusted to the lowest position and the appropriate sitting posture. The front head space is left with one punch, and the front row remains unchanged and comes to the back row. The head space is left with four fingers, and the leg space is left with one punch and four fingers. The performance is not bad.

  The storage space in the Lingfang car is quite satisfactory. The only small problem is that the size of the storage slot in the front row is a little small, and after putting the mobile phone, almost everything else can’t fit.

Home of the car

  The size of the trunk of Lingfang is similar to that of Rongfang. After all, the wheelbase is almost the same. It is worth mentioning that the height of the trunk from the ground has reached 800mm, so it must be a bit laborious to carry large items.

Home of the car

  Lingfang HARRIER 2022 dual-engine 2.5L CVT Four-wheel Drive Flagship Edition performs fairly well. As the top model of the whole system, all comfort configurations such as front/rear parking radar, panoramic image, reversing car side warning system, electric/inductive trunk, keyless entry, adaptive far and near lights, automatic air conditioning, front seat heating/ventilation, steering wheel heating, JBL stereo and so on are fully equipped.

  Lingfang’s center console and door elbow are all wrapped in leather fabric, and the steering wheel and seat are all made of leather, which feels delicate. Overall, the materials used in the car are very good, which is much better than RAV4 Rongfang.

  The configuration of the front seats is very high, the ventilation and heating are all complete, the comfort of the seats is also good, and the length of the seat cushion is in place for supporting the legs; However, the comfort of the rear seats is average, the sitting height is low, the length of the seat cushion is not enough, and the leg support is not good. Secondly, the configuration is not high, only the air conditioning outlet is provided, and there is no temperature and air volume adjustment system.

  Lingfang’s noise test performance is remarkable. If it is not a strong power request, the driver and passenger can hardly hear the noise of the engine. During daily driving, the tire noise can still be heard obviously in the car. If the speed rises, the wind noise will be a little big, but the final measured data is ok, and the results at low and medium speeds are lower than the recommended values.

  In the acceleration test, the acceleration momentum of Lingfang was very strong at the moment when the brake was released. With good torque release and the blessing of the four-wheel drive system, there was no slippage in the initial stage, and the acceleration momentum in the middle and later stages remained very good. The 2.5L hybrid system did not disappoint, and the final acceleration score of 0-100km/h was 7.75 seconds.

  The smoothness of the E-CVT gearbox is very good, and the vehicle power is very linear. In addition to the normal mode, Toyota also provides this car with ECO and SPORT modes. In the sports mode, the dynamic response of this car will be more intense, and the basic speed will be higher. Compared with the ordinary and ECO modes, we can still feel obvious differences. There is a small detail that I like very much. I like the feeling of the accelerator pedal very much. Its damping spring is very strong, so it won’t be very tired when driving in traffic jams. You can take advantage of the pedal.

  Although Lingfang is a domestic SUV, the configuration of the power part of the top version is not low, and the hardware of motor+four-wheel drive is placed here, so its dynamic response speed and the force in the middle and rear sections are online, overtaking and merging within the legal speed limit is effortless, and the acceleration of 40-80km/h is better, which takes 3.78 seconds, and the performance of 80-120km/h is even more outstanding, which takes only 5.38 seconds.

Home of the car

  Lingfang’s steering feel is heavy, and there are some empty positions in the middle, and the reaction and directivity of the front of the car are also somewhat blurred, but fortunately, the steering wheel will be slightly lighter at low speed, and parking will not be too laborious. On the whole, if the steering force is lighter, it may be more comfortable to drive every day.

Home of the car

  Although Lingfang’s throttle responds quickly and accelerates smoothly, there will be no torque steering and suspension feeling when starting the car with full strength.

Home of the car

  The suspension is still the calibration of the domestic SUV. The initial stage is relatively soft, and it filters well the fine bumps on the road surface, but its middle and rear stages are still relatively hard. In the past few days of testing, when I passed a relatively large ditch or speed bump, its suspension was not sloppy, and bang bang passed twice, which was very simple.

Home of the car

  The overall texture of the chassis is very good, and the overall feeling is very strong. Its level is indeed higher than RAV4, and there is not much vibration introduced into the car. When passing through a large area or deep potholes, the car does not have abnormal sound or loose feeling, and the overall feeling is in line with the level that this price should have.

  Like RAV4, the 2.5L hybrid version of Lingfang uses the E-Four four-wheel drive system. This set of electric four-wheel drive has a general ability to get rid of difficulties, and its horsepower and torque are also insufficient. First, the test of double front wheels and double rear wheels, Lingfang’s performance is not good enough, which is a little more laborious than many four-wheel drive models we tested, but it finally passed. Followed by the test of the cross axle, the vehicle did not hesitate too much, and the wheels did not slip obviously, and passed smoothly. It did not perform well in the test of single front wheel and single rear wheel. After a series of outputs, it could not get out of trouble, and the speed of limiting slip was a little slow and the strength was not enough, which failed the challenge.

Home of the car

  The approach angle and departure angle of Lingfang are both 24 degrees, the bottom ground clearance is 19cm, the minimum ground clearance is 19cm, and the turning diameter is 11.75m m..

   The following is the test of cross-country field. First, it is a 36-degree slope. Compared with its eldest brother Lu Fang, Ling Fang’s performance in this project is good. Although the process is a little laborious, he finally succeeded in climbing to the top. The reason is that it is light in weight, and the pressure on the rear of the vehicle with a weight of 1760kg will be much less. However, the 42-degree slope is still the same. After the angle becomes larger, the lower rear wheel torque and grip are not enough for the vehicle to climb the slope, and the challenge fails.

  The test performance of the roll slope is good, and there is no obvious sliding phenomenon at the front and rear of the car, and the direction can pass smoothly without too much correction. In the Butterfly Valley test, Lingfang performed well, and the vehicle did not support the bottom in the process of uphill. It was easier to do cross-axis movements at the top of the slope, and the challenge was successful.

Home of the car

  In the continuous cannonball pit project, there was an obvious bottoming phenomenon in Lingfang, and it was ok when passing through the first steamed bun bag, but the vehicle was directly supported on the steamed bun bag at the second cannonball pit position, and the challenge failed.

  Lingfang is not equipped with functions such as off-road mode and steep slope descent. Generally speaking, Lingfang’s four-wheel drive system and body size setting are more for highway four-wheel drive and bad roads. It will be more difficult to use it for some moderate off-road projects.

● Safety evaluation

  Ling Fang’s performance in the brake test is not satisfactory. First, the vehicle’s posture is not good when fully braking, and the vehicle leans forward obviously. Second, the grip of the four tires is not very good, but the braking force is released evenly, the braking G value fluctuates unobvious, and the foot feel is also very good. This is reflected in this generation of Highlander, and the final braking distance of the vehicle at 100-0km/h is 40.62 meters.

Home of the car

  Except for the steering damping, the overall handling of Lingfang is poor. When Zone A enters Zone B, the suspension support is very general, the car body has a large roll, the tire grip is not good, and the front of the car responds slowly when changing lanes urgently, so the driver needs to adapt for many times before finding the best turning opportunity. After entering Zone B, the intervention of electronic stability control system is not strong enough, which leads to the speed of Zone B entering Zone C is still too fast, and the braking process will be accompanied by the harsh sound of hub motor, and the highest passing speed is only 68.2 km/h.

  Lingfang has a moderate sitting posture in the front row, a good view, and a good view of the external rearview mirror. The internal rearview mirror is a streaming media rearview mirror, which has a good visual range and clarity, and it will be safer to drive at night.

  The passive safety configuration of Lingfang is very comprehensive. The whole system comes standard with front airbags, front side airbags, front and rear head air curtains and knee airbags. It feels good to treat them equally.

● Economic evaluation

  The car we actually measured is the top model of Lingfang, with a guide price of 297,800 yuan. Generally speaking, it is still a little expensive, but at present, this car should have a discount of about 21,000-25,000 yuan, so the final landing price is ok. If you think it is still expensive, it is enough to buy a luxury version or a premium version, and the configuration can also meet the needs of home use.

   This fuel consumption test runs 104.5km, with an average speed of 31 km/h. Under this working condition, we test between congestion, urban roads and expressways, and start the ECO mode and engine start-stop function all the time. Because it is a summer test, the air conditioner is turned on all the time, and the actual filling of No.92 gasoline is 5.92L, and the measured fuel consumption is 5.7L/100km.

● Intelligent evaluation

  Similarly, the active safety configuration of Lingfang is also very complete. The whole system comes standard with a full-speed adaptive cruise system, including parallel line assistance, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance system and lane keeping function. I like it.

  Compared with the central control panels of most Toyota models I have tested before, Lingfang’s car system has indeed made great progress. First of all, the shape, including the thickness of the frame, is relatively thin. Second, its sensitivity and clarity are also online. In addition, the intelligence of the car machine is also very good. In addition to providing basic functions such as online navigation and online music, it also provides functions such as hotel reservation, online video, hotel reservation and take-away reservation.

● Full text summary:

  Lingfang’s performance in the performance test is not very good. Besides good acceleration performance, poor tire grip affects the performance of braking and elk test. If a set of tires with better performance can be replaced, the final test result will definitely be better. Off-road is also its weak part. The weak rear wheel power and general limited slip ability can’t help this car get out of trouble. But its advantage is actually not here. Urban roads are its home. It is actually very comfortable to drive every day. The power is very good, the noise of the engine is not very big, and the fuel consumption is still very low. Coupled with sufficient comfort and active and passive safety configuration, this car is definitely qualified as a home SUV.

  Regarding the market of this car, I also visited several 4S shops and inquired about the current preferential price of Lingfang. Some of them gave the following policies: the fuel version discount is 15,000 yuan, the hybrid discount is 20,000 yuan, the installment car purchase rate is 0 for 2 years, the down payment is 60%, the installment car purchase discount is 23,000 yuan, the white car needs to be increased by 2,000 yuan, the vehicle is given a basic maintenance of 100,000 kilometers for 4 years, and the adhesive pad is all negotiable, but there is a 4S shop.

● Comfort evaluation

  The two main points are deducted. First, the information such as the average speed and subtotal time on the dashboard and the central control panel will be automatically erased after each restart of the vehicle, which is not conducive to the driver’s statistics of daily fuel consumption performance. I deducted points at the dashboard scoring point. Secondly, the tire noise is high at low speed, and the engine noise is high at high speed, and the subjective noise perception part is also deducted.

● Dynamic evaluation

  There are several main penalty points in this part. First, in terms of steering and driving stability, Lingfang’s steering feel is not accurate and heavy, and its controllability in the elk test and the performance of the vehicle when shifting its center of gravity are not very good. Secondly, the performance of cross-country venues is not good, except for the objective passing or not, the subjective experience is not very good, and points are deducted in these projects.

● Safety evaluation

  In this part, the performance of Lingfang is high and low, and the low part is that the performance of the brakes is really bad. Besides the actual performance, the subjective feeling is not good, but the car is very good in vision and the number of airbags, and the scores are all higher than the average score of the same level.

● Economic evaluation

  The total score of Lingfang in the economic evaluation part is 9.42, and the main reason for the high score is its fuel consumption performance. The measured fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 5.7L/100km.

● Intelligent evaluation

  The intelligent part got a score of 19.20, which was better than that of competitors of the same level, especially the active safety part, which was fully equipped and could fully meet the daily use requirements.

● Total score of AH-100

Tesla launched three new cars, and the cheap version of 175,000 detonated expectations.

In the field of global electric vehicles, Tesla is undoubtedly a dazzling star. Each of its science and technology day activities always attracts the attention of global users and becomes the focus of the industry. It is reported that Tesla will hold the Global Science and Technology Day again on October 11th, and plans to release three brand-new models, each of which aims to solve different market pain points, which will undoubtedly set off another wave of hot discussion.

Among them, the first new car has been widely known, that is Tesla’s unmanned taxi. This model not only has the automatic driving function, but also costs people, comparable to buses, which is expected to completely change the pattern of urban travel. Tesla’s continuous investment and innovation in autonomous driving technology makes it possible for unmanned taxis to bring users a more convenient and economical travel experience.

In addition to unmanned taxis, Tesla will also release a brand-new Robovan freight car. This electric freight car has attracted much attention as early as last year, and Pepsi has signed a cooperation agreement with it. In the future, products such as Coca-Cola sold in the United States will be transported by Tesla’s electric freight cars. This move not only demonstrates Tesla’s leading position in the field of electric vehicles, but also reflects its innovative attempt in the field of logistics.

However, for ordinary consumers, the most striking thing is the third new car-a "cheap Tesla" equivalent to about 175,000 yuan. The design style of this new car is quite different from the current Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, and it adopts a smaller and cheaper design without losing the fashion sense. Its imaginary map has been exposed, which has aroused widespread concern.

According to the prediction of relevant American institutions, with this cheap Tesla put into the market between 2025 and 2026, Tesla’s sales volume is expected to increase by about 18%. However, some insiders believe that this forecast is relatively conservative, and the actual sales growth may reach about 30%. This is mainly due to Tesla’s continuous efforts in reducing costs and improving production efficiency.

In order to reduce costs, Tesla has adopted a variety of innovative means on this cheap model. In addition to smaller size and fewer spare parts, the new 4680 battery is also used. Compared with the previous 2170 battery, the density of the 4680 battery has increased by five times, which makes the new Tesla have a better performance in cruising range and also reduces the cost.

Looking back at Tesla’s history, this is the third time that it has said that it will introduce cheap models to the market. Although the previous plans such as Model Q and Model 2 failed to take shape, Tesla’s innovative spirit and continuous efforts in the field of electric vehicles never stopped. Therefore, whether this brand-new cheap Tesla will skip the ticket, we should probably keep confidence and wait and see.

In general, Tesla’s Science and Technology Day not only demonstrated its leading position and innovative spirit in the field of electric vehicles, but also brought more choices and expectations to consumers. With the release of these three new cars, Tesla will undoubtedly set off a new wave in the global electric vehicle market.

Ten years after bin Laden’s death, the US military’s "anti-terrorism" was "more anti-terrorism"

CCTV News:After the "September 11th" incident in 2001, the United States sent troops to Afghanistan in the name of "anti-terrorism", and then continued to "export unrest", which made the Middle East turbulent for a long time. On May 1, 2011, US Eastern Time and May 2, 2011, Beijing time, then US President Barack Obama announced that the United States believed that the "9.11" incident was behind the scenes — — Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, was killed by American troops in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The small village where bin Laden was hiding.

Now, it has been ten years since the United States announced the killing of bin Laden, and the US military has begun to withdraw from Afghanistan. Has the so-called "anti-terrorism" goal of the United States been achieved? Ten years after bin Laden was killed, the reporter from the General Station visited Abbottabad again.

Headquarters reporter Cui Ru:I am now in Abbottabad, Pakistan. There used to be a small building with a courtyard next to me. Ten years ago, US Navy SEALs attacked here and killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. After bin Laden was killed, the small building was demolished and the yard became a cricket ground for children.

People: peace has not yet reached the United States to export turmoil for self-interest

In the village, some insiders were interviewed by reporters.

Local resident Nayaz Bangash:People say that there was peace after bin Laden’s death, but now there is no peace at all. There is no peace in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Kidnapping and killing are everywhere.

The building where bin Laden was killed has been razed to the ground.

Tanori, a businessman who lives opposite the demolished building, thinks that the so-called killing of bin Laden is just a "propaganda war" in the United States. Tanori said that attacking other countries with "fabricated stories" has always been a means of the United States.

Local resident Tanori:The United States is slandering Pakistan. They have searched many countries. They think bin Laden is here, but bin Laden is not here. The United States is just making excuses for sending troops to Afghanistan and Iraq, just as they went to Libya to kill Libyans after fighting Iraq. Everything was for the benefit of the United States, and the game ended when it was unprofitable. Before they tried to end Afghanistan, they threw out the story of bin Laden. They announced that they had killed bin Laden just to end the war.

Headquarters reporter Cui Ru:After the "9.11" incident before 2001, the United States successively sent troops to Afghanistan and Iraq in the name of counter-terrorism to overthrow the Taliban and Saddam Hussein’s regime. The United States has also deeply intervened in the Middle East, bringing profound disasters to the whole Middle East. In the 20-year war, the United States has not been safe, but has become more and more fearful. What nourishes the monster of terrorism is precisely the hatred planted by American war policy and hegemonism.

People: peace is too far away. American troops bring chaos

In Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, many local people also said in an interview with the general station reporter that in 2011, the United States announced that the killing of bin Laden did not improve the security situation in the region, and the United States’ actions at that time were only for its own interests.

Many Afghans say that their lives have been completely disrupted. Apart from terrorist attacks, daily theft and robbery also bring great danger to their lives. When it comes to expectations for the future, everyone invariably says two words — — "Peace".

General Station reporter Li Shuangxi:From the eyes of Afghans, what I see is the longing for peace and disappointment with the United States. For them, the significance of the "ultimate revenge" that killed bin Laden is extremely limited, and the achievements of the US garrison for nearly 20 years are only a more chaotic situation.

The cloud of terror in Afghanistan remains strong.

It has been ten years since the United States announced the killing of bin Laden. However, as Afghans said, the security situation in Afghanistan and the whole region has not returned to calm, and the shadow of terrorist attacks remains strong. After the "9.11" incident in 2001, the United States sent troops to attack Afghanistan and overthrow the Taliban regime. In 2011, the United States announced the killing of bin Laden, and Al Qaeda gradually lost its absolute influence in Afghanistan. However, the gap left by Al Qaeda has been filled by more newly emerging terrorist organizations.

This is an attack video recorded by a gunman himself, which has been widely circulated on social networks in Afghanistan recently.

General Station reporter Li Shuangxi:The video shooting we just saw took place on the streets of Kabul, the capital, and the attacker was already dead. There are many similar things, and there is evidence in our office. Look at this bullet hole on the wall, and my colleagues in the office wrote the time when it happened with a pen — — About three years after bin Laden was killed, there was an unexplained gun battle in the street next to the office. One of the bullets broke the glass and entered the wall. After this incident, all the windows facing the street in the office were nailed up by steel plates, so the light in the room is a little dim now.

According to experts in Afghanistan, there are currently about 20 terrorist organizations active in Afghanistan, which is followed by social unrest, gun proliferation and many other problems.

The latest travel notice issued by the US Embassy in Afghanistan to American citizens

The latest travel notice issued by the US Embassy in Afghanistan to American citizens

General Station reporter Li Shuangxi:This is the latest travel notice issued by the US Embassy in Afghanistan to American citizens. It says that there are risk factors such as epidemic, crime, terrorism, civil strife, kidnapping and armed conflict in Afghanistan. This is indeed the case in Afghanistan now. The so-called terror has long been not only terrorism in the traditional sense, but also the daily life of local people faces many challenges.

If the US anti-terrorism policy is not changed, it will be difficult to escape the "more anti-terrorism" cycle.

It has been ten years since the United States announced the killing of bin Laden, and it has been nearly 20 years since the United States launched the so-called "war on terror" in Afghanistan. However, some analysts pointed out that if the US government can’t get rid of the long-standing anti-terrorism practice of attaching importance to military affairs and neglecting diplomacy, it will be difficult for the United States to escape from the strange circle of "more anti-terrorism".

In the past few decades, a cornerstone of American foreign policy has been "military means first." All countries that have been interfered by the United States in their internal affairs, including Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, etc., have experienced turmoil without exception. While the United States is "destroying" militarily, it lacks the follow-up diplomatic "reconstruction" efforts, so countries such as Afghanistan and Libya have long been caught in domestic turmoil. 

The war in Afghanistan has lasted for 20 years, and the United States once stationed more than 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, but this could not defeat the Taliban. The US military’s "anti-terrorism" is "more anti-terrorism and more fear". In the view of former German Foreign Minister Fischer, apart from killing several leaders of terrorist organizations and weakening some extremist organizations, the US "anti-terrorism" war in Afghanistan is almost fruitless. "Terrorism has not been defeated militarily or ideologically, and remains a consistent threat to the West."

At the same time, the United States has been "half-hearted" in promoting Afghanistan’s economic and social development. Due to frequent wars and turmoil, Afghanistan’s industrial base is still weak, and agriculture and animal husbandry are still the main force of the national economy. The education system in Afghanistan has collapsed, with the illiteracy rate as high as 65% and that of women as high as 96%. The younger generation is unable to learn knowledge and is more susceptible to terrorism.

Analysts pointed out that the mistake of the US anti-terrorism policy lies in the fact that the US did not realize that any sustainable military achievement could not be achieved without the successful support of Afghanistan’s national construction, which can only be achieved through diplomatic means.

The long war in Afghanistan has brought profound lessons to the U.S. government. U.S. drones and missiles alone cannot solve the anti-terrorism problem, and comprehensive measures must be taken to address both the symptoms and the root causes.
