300 thousand! Jiangsu Jingjiang Reward "Poisonous Land" Whistleblower Set a Domestic Record

  More than two years after the "Jingjiang Poisonous Land" incident, the Jingjiang Municipal Government of Jiangsu Province issued a check for 300,000 yuan to reward Zhou Jiangang, a whistleblower of "Poisonous Land" pollution. Rewarding 300,000 yuan is an "unexpected surprise" for Zhou Jiangang, and it also sets the highest reward record for reporting environmental pollution in China.

  The "Jingjiang Poisonous Land" incident has aroused strong social concern. In September 2015, Zhou Jiangang, a Yunnan businessman, publicly reported on the Internet that a pig farm in Jingjiang had buried tens of thousands of tons of hazardous waste underground, and the main sources of hazardous waste were two listed companies. After investigation by Beijing Youth Daily reporter, Beijing Youth Daily published a series of reports on the underground secrets of pig farms. In December 2015, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Public Security jointly supervised the case. This is also the first environmental pollution case jointly supervised by three ministries.

  In December 2016, the procuratorate of Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province filed a public prosecution against the case, and the prosecution sued Zhou and other three people involved in the case for environmental pollution. In addition, the procuratorate conducted a public interest investigation, which led the company involved to sign an environmental restoration agreement of 190 million yuan.

  On November 16th, a reporter from Beiqing Daily talked with Zhou Jiangang in Beijing. He said that reporting the incident affected him for more than two years, and he recently received relevant compensation, compensation and rewards. "For me personally, ‘ Poisonous land ’ The event is turned over, draw a full stop. I will return to normal life as soon as possible, and environmental protection and public welfare will continue. "

  Talk about poison land

  The poison has been dug up and the poison is still "healing"

  Zhou Jiangang is the whistleblower and victim of the Jingjiang Poisonous Land incident. In February 2015, he bought a pig farm in Jingjiang. After living in the factory for a period of time, he suddenly broke out of skin diseases. After going to the hospital, he learned that it was caused by environmental stimulation. After investigation, Zhou Jiangang found that the pig farm was formerly a chemical plant, and tens of thousands of tons of hazardous waste were buried under the ground. The matter was known to the public by its report. In March 2016, Chen Mengmeng, director of Jiangsu Provincial Environmental Protection Department, introduced in an exclusive interview with the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the relevant departments had dug up more than 5,900 tons of suspected hazardous waste in the "toxic land".

  Beiqing Daily: When was the last time you went to the original pig farm?

  Zhou Jiangang: In October this year. I have been there two or three times in the last three months.

  Beiqing Daily: What is the situation of that land now?

  Zhou Jiangang: After the incident was reported, the government stepped in and dug up the toxic substances underground and cleaned them up. The whole plot has changed qualitatively. Professional large-scale equipment and pipelines for soil remediation have been installed on the ground, and many trees and grasses have been planted. The original buildings were all shoveled away, only one office building was kept, because it did not involve "burying drugs", so it was kept as an office building. There are staff on duty there to monitor the operation of the equipment. The poison has been dug up, and the poison is still "healing".

  Beiqing Daily: Jingjiang municipal government and environmental protection department have talked with you about the restoration of "poisonous land"?

  Zhou Jiangang: After I went back to Jingjiang, I asked all my concerns in detail. Some questions were answered in writing, and some were answered face to face. As far as I know, the testing institutions found by the government and the companies that do soil remediation in the later stage are among the top in China. The governance plan has also been introduced to me, and it is doing professional governance and repair.

  Beiqing Daily: What is the ownership of this land now?

  Zhou Jiangang: After I went back, I learned that this land has an observation period for restoration. From the perspective of supporting local governments to effectively control pollution, I have voluntarily given up the right to use the land, and this land has been returned to the village Committee, which will hand it over to the government to continue to repair and observe the land.

  Talk about rewards

  It was a pleasant surprise for me to be rewarded with 300,000 yuan.

  After the "Poisonous Land" incident, the plot was taken over by Jingjiang Municipal Government on the grounds of "emergency avoidance", and the buildings on the ground were demolished. In the past two years, Zhou Jiangang has been observing the progress of pollution control and negotiating with the local government for compensation. Recently, the two sides reached an agreement that Jingjiang Municipal Government compensated Zhou Jiangang for more than 3 million yuan, and in addition, the government rewarded him with 300,000 yuan for reporting pollution.

  Beiqing Daily: Did the local government compensate you for giving up the plot?

  Zhou Jiangang: In the past three months, I left everything in the company and went back to Jingjiang from Yunnan to communicate directly with the local government. In the past, communication was not particularly smooth, always through third parties, and some information was asymmetric, so direct communication was better. After returning, I communicated with Jingjiang Environmental Protection Bureau and other departments and learned that there were some misunderstandings between them in the past. After the case happened, all the energies of government personnel were devoted to pollution control and danger elimination, ignoring the disposal of my personal property and assets. Later, they also made deployment arrangements and thought that compensation should be made. When I went back this time, the overall communication situation was still smooth. The staff and leaders of all departments mentioned this matter, and they were all active and communicated with me deeply. This land used to be worthless, but now it is valuable. The corresponding compensation made by the government was also made through formal evaluation procedures, and I was compensated more than 3 million yuan. From my point of view, as long as it is standardized, I accept it.

  Beiqing Daily: Jingjiang Municipal Government will reward you with 300,000 yuan for reporting environmental pollution. In what form was the reward given to you?

  Zhou Jiangang: After I went back this time, the government said that I made a great contribution from finding pollution to eliminating dangerous situations. The government recognized it very much, and it was clear that I would be rewarded heavily. After the resolutions of various departments, it was decided to reward 300,000 yuan, and then I was given a check. The check is separate from other payments and has my name on it. There was still a lot of work to be done, so there was no award ceremony. I think this kind of reward is the best recognition for me. There is no need to waste energy and resources on the ceremony. Both sides have reached a consensus on this.

  Beiqing Daily: I remember that Jingjiang Environmental Protection Bureau rewarded you with 3,000 yuan last year. According to the "Measures for Rewarding Environmental Violations in Jiangsu Province", this is the highest reward standard. What do you think of this award of 300,000 yuan?

  Zhou Jiangang: 3,000 yuan is a reward from Jingjiang Environmental Protection Bureau for calling 12369 hotline. This time, 300,000 yuan, the main body of the award is Jingjiang Municipal Government. My own understanding is that the government has effectively ruled out a serious hidden danger through my report and investigation. In addition, I have been cooperating with the government to deal with the polluted land, so I have the next 300 thousand yuan. This is a kind of recognition and an encouragement. Reward 300 thousand yuan, which is an unexpected surprise for me. This reward, more money and less money, is not very important to me. I can feel that the government attaches importance to environmental issues in this matter. This is a great progress, and it is also the highest reward for reporting environmental pollution in China at present.

  Beiqing Daily: Did compensation and rewards make up for your losses?

  Zhou Jiangang: If you make a detailed account, you may not finish it. I don’t think it is particularly important whether these amounts are high or low. With compensation and reward, I feel very gratified. I can feel the government’s positive and sunny attitude and consciousness in dealing with problems. I don’t want this to drag on for too long.

  Talk about cases

  "I forgive" the polluter.

  In December 2016, the procuratorate of Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province filed a public prosecution against the "Jingjiang Poisonous Land" case, and the prosecution sued Zhou and other three people involved in the case for environmental pollution. The case has been heard in the first instance and has not yet been pronounced.

  Beiqing Daily: What is your role in this public prosecution case of environmental pollution?

  Zhou Jiangang: I am the victim. Is the plaintiff in criminal incidental civil action. The reason for becoming a plaintiff is that I have been damaged in property, body, spirit and other aspects, and I am a victim of "poisonous land".

  Beiqing Daily: Have you seen the defendant? Did you communicate?

  Zhou Jiangang: At the court, I met some defendants during the pre-trial communication. Zhou is almost 70 years old, very kind and honest.

  He told some stories about the past and expressed his apologies. He said that he would bear the burden. From a certain point of view, there is also a historical reason for the occurrence of "poisonous land", which is well known to all. I felt sorry for him, too, and I forgave him.

  Beiqing Daily: With the coordination of judicial organs, the company involved signed an environmental restoration agreement of 190 million yuan. What do you know about this agreement?

  Zhou Jiangang: As far as I know, this agreement is relatively simple. 190 million yuan, mainly used to eliminate pollution and soil remediation expenses.

  Beiqing Daily: At what stage has this case been tried? Will you participate later?

  Zhou Jiangang: There is no verdict in the first instance. As the plaintiff of criminal incidental civil action, I reached a pre-trial settlement with the defendant. On the one hand, I sincerely understood the defendant, and the defendant also made compensation for the energy I spent for more than two years, which was also a reasonable compensation for my investment and treatment. After reaching a settlement, I dropped the case, withdrew from the case and stopped participating.

  Beiqing Daily: How do you feel about the big environment?

  Zhou Jiangang: I feel that in the past two years or so, the national level has paid more attention to environmental issues. "Jingjiang Poisonous Land" case is the first environmental pollution case jointly supervised by three ministries. I can feel that there is a high degree of concern at the national level. In the past two years, the state has issued relevant laws and regulations on environmental protection, which has a positive side, which is good for the people and the whole society.

  Talk about change

  It has become a habit to shoot pollution and call 12369.

  For more than two years, Zhou Jiangang’s illness has not recovered and has been under treatment. Compared with the past, he has changed from a businessman who knows nothing about environmental protection to an active environmental volunteer, and it has become a living habit to shoot pollution and call 12369.

  Beiqing Daily: What changes have you made in the past two years?

  Zhou Jiangang: I used to be a businessman who knew nothing about environmental protection. Now I always pay attention to environmental protection. In my life, whenever I see black smoke from chimneys, sewage from rivers and garbage everywhere, I will take out my mobile phone to take photos and send them to my circle of friends, Weibo or report them to the environmental protection department in a neurotic and conditioned way. 12369 is the number I often call. This has become a habit.

  Beiqing Daily: What is your physical condition?

  Zhou Jiangang: I was in good health before the incident, because I lived in a pig farm for a period of time, and my skin disease broke out seriously, and my immunity was low. In the past two years, I have been treating continuously, and I have been using biological agents. Now I also cooperate with Chinese medicine and other means to regulate my body. Two months ago, my condition was serious, and now it is relatively mild, but it has not been completely eradicated. There are still some ringworm blocks on the back of hand and back.

  Beiqing Daily: What impact did the "Poisonous Land" incident have on you?

  Zhou Jiangang: Psychologically, I had a lot of pressure and nervousness in the early stage. Economically, I didn’t have much energy to engage in business activities in the past two years, which had a great impact on the company. Because I saw a doctor, I also spent a lot of money. Now, this matter can be recognized by the government, and the "cancer" can be eliminated, and all the previous pressures can be released. All the efforts are worth it. Compared with this result, the impact on me is not worth mentioning.

  Beiqing Daily: Has your interpersonal relationship changed?

  Zhou Jiangang: At the beginning, many people didn’t know the inside story and didn’t understand me. They all thought that I had made a mess and that I was against the government. With the media reports, with the official voice and affirmation of me, now everyone has a better understanding of me. I also made more friends who love environmental protection, and unconsciously became an environmentalist. I think it’s also a good thing. In my old circle of friends, many friends have become more supportive of environmental protection.

  Beiqing Daily: What do the locals think of you when you go to Jingjiang later? What changes have taken place in the attitude of government officials towards the pollution incident?

  Zhou Jiangang: I am more recognized by the local people. In their words, we are more knowledgeable people to find pollution. They don’t understand and don’t know what’s going on, so there is really no way. I can feel the importance of environmental education and guidance. It is more important for relevant departments to strengthen environmental education and guidance than to manage the environment. Because the former can make more people pay attention to the environment, then there will be fewer and fewer pollution incidents, and possible pollution can be cut off in the bud. When I returned to Jiangsu this time, the attitude of government workers surprised me. First of all, their attitude towards pollution is very clear, and pollution has indeed occurred, and all of them are strictly done according to standardized standards. During my stay in Jiangsu, I noticed that the environmental protection departments showed a positive attitude towards similar environmental cases.

  Beiqing Daily: Is it a turn-over?

  Zhou Jiangang: Personally, the "Poisonous Land" incident has turned over a page, drawing a full stop. I will return to my normal life as soon as possible, and environmental protection and public welfare will continue. The most important thing at the moment is that my personal life and company are normal. With more energy in the future, I will be a public welfare organization in Yunnan for environmental education. I hope it will come true one day.

  Beiqing Daily: The society has been paying attention to this matter. What else do you want to say?

  Zhou Jiangang: The media and environmental protection public welfare organizations helped me in my most difficult time. When my economy was in the most difficult time, environmentalists also launched fund-raising and borrowing activities to help me tide over the difficulties, which I can’t express with the word "thank you". But I still want to say "thank you very much". I will go on with all environmental volunteers. The cause of environmental protection has just begun for me.

Affectionate responsibility in this issue

Harbin Stars Choir — — Numerous awards are also stressful, and husband and wife join hands to tell their hearts.

As can be seen from the name of the group, the strength of this choir can not be underestimated. They have a mantra that "singing is a hobby, but winning prizes is absolutely professional." But on the stage of "Singing in the Age of Music", the members made frequent mistakes during the rehearsal, which made Xiaole sweat for them. But soon, Xiaole was relieved by the "affectionate confession" of a loving couple among the members.

Sister Zhang Guoqiu, the female vocal minister of the choir, is almost blind because of eye diseases, but she always loves art and likes singing. In order to make Sister Zhang happy, a person who can’t sing also learned to read music, and joined the Stars Choir, always accompanying Sister Zhang. At the scene of the program, Sister Zhang said "I am the happiest woman in the world", which made the audience feel endless love and warmth.

What kind of high-level singing will Harbin Stars Choir bring?

My deep feelings will always be waiting for you. What other touching moments are there?

The Ministry of Public Security issued a national road traffic safety warning during the May 1 holiday.

CCTV News:The "May Day" holiday is coming. At present, the temperature in various places is rising and the climate is pleasant, which is in the golden season of traveling and visiting relatives and friends. In addition, the spring ploughing and spring planting activities in rural areas are busy, and the freight logistics continues to operate at a high level. The country will usher in the peak of road travel. The Ministry of Public Security combined with the characteristics of road traffic accidents during the May Day holiday in recent years, analyzed and judged the road traffic safety situation during this year’s May Day holiday, and issued a traffic safety warning.

According to the judgment of the Ministry of Public Security, there are the following prominent risks in the national road traffic safety during the "May 1" holiday this year: First, the travel to visit relatives is concentrated, and the risk of road traffic congestion and accidents in hot spots of tourist attractions is increased. Secondly, the travel flow at the beginning and end of the holiday is large, and the risk of traffic violations is high. It is estimated that the day before the holiday this year, that is, the afternoon of April 28th, the first day of the holiday, that is, the morning of April 29th and the afternoon of May 3rd, the last day of the holiday, will have a peak of travel flow, and the accident-prone period is from 19: 00 to 21: 00 every day.

In addition, in rural areas, spring sowing and spring planting are busy, and the traffic safety risks of agricultural workers are outstanding; The continuous rise of logistics and transportation, and the prominent risk of truck accidents are also the traffic travel risks that will be faced during the May 1 holiday this year. According to the forecast of the Central Meteorological Observatory, the rainfall will increase during the May 1 holiday, especially during the rainy season in Jianghuai, Jiangnan, South China, Sichuan Basin and Guizhou. The slippery road in rainy days will easily lead to vehicle rollover, rear-end collision and multi-vehicle collision accidents, and the holiday is in the process of spring-summer season transition, so drivers are prone to be sleepy in spring and lack in summer, which will affect driving safety.

The Ministry of Public Security suggests that when traveling by car during holidays, please pay attention to the traffic information and traffic safety tips issued by relevant departments, arrange the travel time reasonably, plan ahead and be familiar with the route. The roads around the scenic spot are crowded, so we should pay attention to avoiding pedestrians and regulating parking. When traveling by car during holidays, don’t take "black cars", overcrowded buses and non-passenger vehicles outside the station. Fasten your seat belts when traveling, and report any illegal activities on your own initiative.

The maximum diameter is 14.31 meters! The shield machine "Baiyun Pioneer" originated and went under the flight area of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport.

Text/Yangcheng Evening News All-Media Reporter Yiwen Yan Correspondent Nie Chengzhang Lu Huaiqi Liu Gangke

Figure/provided by correspondent

On the morning of August 2nd, as the cutter head of the shield machine slowly rotates, Baiyun Pioneer, the largest diameter shield machine of Guangzhou Metro Group, was successfully launched from the starting shaft of Guangzhou-Zhuhai (Australia) high-speed rail shield in the reserved rail transit project of T3 transportation hub of Baiyun Airport (hereinafter referred to as T3 rail transit hub).

The Guangzhou-Zhuhai (Macao) high-speed railway tunnel of T3 rail transit hub is a single-hole double-line shield tunnel with a section line length of 1.476 kilometers. The "Baiyun Pioneer" large-diameter shield machine originated this time consists of cutter head, main engine, equipment bridge and supporting trolley. The whole machine is 145 meters long, with a diameter of 14.31 meters, a total weight of about 4,500 tons, a total installed power of about 9,000 kilowatts and a total thrust of 20,000 tons.

After the departure, the shield machine will directly pass through the airport flight area and pass through the airport boundary, navigation radar signal influence area, soil surface area, taxiway and other areas in turn from east to west. The geological karst in the excavation area is well developed, including sand layer, silty clay, gravelly silty clay, moderately weathered limestone and other strata, which has the characteristics of complex construction environment, high excavation risk and many controlling factors.

In view of the complex and changeable geological conditions, the shield machine is equipped with the functions of "screw machine+straight pipe discharge system" and synchronous double liquid grouting, which lays a solid foundation for smooth shield tunneling.

According to reports, the T3 rail transit hub is managed by Guangzhou Metro Group, and it is planned, designed, constructed and operated synchronously with the third phase expansion project of Baiyun Airport. The project includes T3 station and its two-side sections of Guanghe high-speed railway, Guangzhou-Zhuhai (Macao) high-speed railway and Fangcheng International Railway, which is an important part of the third phase construction of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and the core project of the transportation hub under the "Yangcheng Corolla" of T3 Terminal.

After the completion of the project, Baiyun Airport will be accessible to the central city of Guangzhou in 30 minutes, to the cities in the Pearl River Delta in 60 minutes and to the major cities in the Pan-Pearl River Delta in 3 hours, which is of great significance for accelerating the construction of world-class airports in Greater Bay Area and boosting the high-quality development of world-class urban agglomerations in Greater Bay Area.

The loan company used both hard and soft methods to urge the elderly to pay debts. How did they become "meat" on the chopping board?

  CCTV News:Pay attention to a scam under the banner of housing for the elderly. "Providing for the aged with housing" mainly means that the elderly mortgage their housing to the insurance company in reverse, so as to receive a certain amount of pension insurance every month. This is a commercial endowment insurance business encouraged by the government, but some unscrupulous companies and personnel cheat the elderly under the banner of "providing for the elderly with housing", resulting in some elderly people falling into a situation where their housing and property are empty. Lu Fengming, who lives in Tiantongyuan Community, Changping District, Beijing, is 69 years old. In recent months, she has often discussed a big thing for them with several old sisters.

  Beijing citizen Lu Fengming: "When I asked for this principal and interest, I had almost more than a month. I couldn’t eat and sleep, and the pressure was very great."

  Beijing citizen Zhang Yulan"It’s just a feeling that the sky is falling and we are cornered."

  Fake "housing for the elderly" usury with an annual interest rate of 24%

  What makes these old people feel that the sky is falling is that there is something wrong with the "house-for-the-elderly" project they did in Beijing Zhongan Minsheng Asset Management Co., Ltd., and each of them took his own house as a mortgage, bearing a loan of more than 3 million yuan with an annual interest rate of 24%. Now they are constantly threatened by the loan company and asked them to sell the house to repay the loan.

  Beijing citizen Lu Fengming"Just tell my husband to sell the house quickly, and sell your house quickly. If you sell the house now, you can sell it for 5 million yuan, and you can still have 2 million yuan left. We can help you find someone to buy your house. If you want to go through the court, your house is only worth 1.8 million yuan."

  The loan company used both hard and soft measures to urge the elderly to pay debts.

  In order to force the elderly to repay the principal and interest, the loan company implemented various soft violence, such as door-to-door bullying, verbal abuse, posting so-called debt collection notices in the corridor, blocking the keyhole with 502 glue, and throwing garbage and feces at the door of the elderly. How on earth did the old people get into such a situation today?

  Reporter:What kind of project did he tell you at that time?

  Beijing citizen Lu Fengming: "It is about providing for the elderly and providing for the elderly with housing."

  The false propaganda of "Zhong ‘an People’s Livelihood" caused the elderly to be deceived.

  The old man Lu Fengming said that in 2017, when she was dragged by a familiar friend to participate in the activities of Beijing Zhongan Minsheng Asset Management Co., Ltd., she learned about this house-to-house pension project. At that time, Zhong ‘an Minsheng publicized that her real estate could be mortgaged with more funds than other companies. After the funds were handed over to Zhong ‘an Minsheng, Zhong ‘an Minsheng paid a fixed pension to the elderly every month at an annual interest rate of 4% to 6%. According to the contract signed with Zhong ‘an Minsheng, Lu Fengming can receive a pension of 12,500 yuan per month after mortgaging his house for 3 million yuan.

  Beijing citizen Lu Fengming: "I think it’s quite good. It gave me interest on that day."

  In order to convince the old people, Zhongan Minsheng also arranged for the old people to sign a guarantee contract with Beijing Dingchi Huixin Investment Guarantee Company.

  Beijing citizen Wang Xiaoqun"But we learned afterwards that this insurance company is a pure shell company."

  In order to attract the elderly to invest, Zhongan Minsheng often organizes various large-scale publicity activities, sometimes reaching thousands of people.

  At the time of preaching, Zhongan Minsheng told the elderly that the mortgage of "housing for the elderly" could be withdrawn at any time.

  Deceive the elderly in the name of national ministries and commissions.

  The old people said that another important reason why they believed in Beijing Zhongan Minsheng’s housing-based pension project was that Zhongan Minsheng borrowed the national policy of "providing for the elderly with housing" in various propaganda and cheated them in the name of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the National Committee on Ageing and the China Foundation for the Development of Ageing. It was not until the loan company came to collect debts that the old people realized that they had mortgaged their houses to various small loan companies. When the lenders took out the Property Mortgage Contract, they suddenly realized that this important contract, which allows small loan companies to sell or auction their houses at a discount, did not exist in their own hands, but it did have their own signature. What’s going on?

  Beijing citizen Zhang Yulan: "When signing the contract, I didn’t let you see it at all, and then I assigned it to you. This place was signed, this place was signed, and the place for riding seams was set for you. After signing it, I felt particularly uncomfortable."

  After the accident, the old people woke up. These are all "bureaus" designed by Zhongan Minsheng and the loan company. Zhongan Minsheng wants millions of money after they mortgage their houses, and the loan company wants 24% high interest rate and their houses.

  Beijing citizen Wang Xiaoqun: "We are all meat on their chopping boards. When we make money, they divide it. When we make money, they divide it."

  After the mortgage loan is handed over to Zhongan Minsheng, 6% of the pension income of the elderly and 24% of the high interest rate of the loan company will be borne by Zhongan Minsheng according to the contract. Obviously, such a capital scam cannot last long.

The Last Day in Leslie Cheung

[Editor’s note]

Thirteen years ago today, when most people heard the news of Leslie Cheung’s death from friends and colleagues, they thought it was just a joke on April Fool’s Day, until it was confirmed on TV news.

April 1st is supposed to be an ordinary April Fool’s Day, but it is special because of Leslie Cheung.

The Paper was authorized to extract the chapter recording his last day from Leslie Cheung’s latest biography Nian Rong in memory of this respected singer and star.

April 1st.

This day is supposed to be an ordinary day, and at most it is an ordinary April Fool’s Day.

Hong Kong, like most Asian regions, April Fool’s Day has never been a holiday.

It was not until April Fool’s Day in 2003 that many people first felt that April Fool’s Day was both playful and cruel.

From the end of 20th century to the beginning of 21st century, Leslie Cheung has done a lot in just a few years. But not many people know what kind of life he is living when he doesn’t appear in albums, movies, TV, newspapers and magazines. Everyone only knows that his public appearances are getting less and less.

He said that he had acid reflux, which affected his throat and vocal cords.

Brigitte Lin said that she watched a movie with him, only to find that his arm around her hand kept shaking.

Anita Mui said that she heard that he was very unhappy, and tried every means to contact him, making phone calls and writing cards, but never found him.

Chen Shufen said that he suffered physically and mentally. His hands were shaking, he couldn’t sleep, and he was sweating. When his illness broke out, all his muscles ached as if he were going to tear his flesh apart.

Tang Hede said that he has been very cooperative and has been seeing doctors regularly.

then what

In November 2002, he committed suicide, but it didn’t work.

He, who people can’t see, has been tortured by the disease.

At about 10 o’clock in the morning, Alfred Mok, an interior designer, received a phone call, which was from Leslie Cheung.

"Let’s have lunch together!" Leslie Cheung said.

Alfred Mok is the designer of Leslie Cheung’s apartment, and they have a close personal friendship.

However, two days ago, the horse named by Alfred Mok’s adopted son won the championship in the race, and the horse’s name was named by Leslie Cheung, so Alfred Mok made a phone call to give Leslie Cheung good news, but he didn’t answer the phone at that time.

"I called you and didn’t listen. How did you know I was free today!" Alfred Mok deliberately said such a thing to tease Leslie Cheung, but from the other party’s response, he felt that Leslie Cheung really wanted to meet himself, and then he put away his joke: "Silly boy, I will definitely have lunch with you."

Two people made an appointment to meet at Fusion Restaurant in Causeway Bay at one o’clock, which was chosen because it was close to Alfred Mok’s office.

At 1pm, Alfred Mok arrived at Fusion Restaurant as scheduled. There, he saw Leslie Cheung wearing a dark gray T-shirt and a light gray suit jacket, wearing a mask and sitting quietly.

No sooner had Alfred Mok sat down than Leslie Cheung said to him, "Someone is coughing next door. Why don’t you wear a mask?"

Mask, suddenly became a human amulet.

In the spring of 2003, atypical pneumonia ("SARS", commonly known as "SARS" in Hong Kong) ravaged the whole world, and almost no place was spared. Although it was affected to different degrees, the panic it caused was definitely a rare global expansion in modern times. Even though modern medical care is far better than that in ancient times, in the early days of SARS, human beings actually seemed helpless. Infectious diseases that can’t be cured by the medical profession have suddenly made the whole society a frightened bird.

They chatted and ordered another meal. Leslie Cheung ordered spaghetti, and his appetite seemed to be good.

In the restaurant, when someone recognized him, he smiled at people and everything was as usual.

However, in Alfred Mok’s eyes, he looked so uneasy that his hands kept shaking.

It takes three hours for two people to talk in the restaurant.

Leslie Cheung told Alfred Mok that after he called him, he drove the Porsche aimlessly. He said that he felt very hard that morning and just wanted to drive fast. It was best to crash like this until he remembered that he had an appointment.

"Stupid, don’t say that." Alfred Mok reacted immediately, and then opened the topic.

Leslie Cheung asked Alfred Mok’s ID number again and copied it down. Six months ago, he had asked the same question and confirmed it again that day. Alfred Mok learned afterwards that Leslie Cheung was going to leave a small gift for himself in his will.

In a small talk in the past, Leslie Cheung once asked Alfred Mok, "If you are seriously ill and have no medical doctor, how will you solve it?"

Hearing this topic, Alfred Mok felt awkward at that time, and then responded: "I will take sleeping pills. If people find it, they will be saved."

"You are wrong," Leslie Cheung said bluntly. "To die, the most direct thing is to jump off a building."

Alfred Mok immediately shook his head and said, "You and I are so’ greedy for beauty’ (love beauty), how can we do such a thing? It’s like an egg fell to the ground, and if we accidentally hit someone else … We are greedy and beautiful, but it’s better to sleep in the bed, at least someone will save us, and we will jump down and become a’ slap’ (meaning a piece of flesh and blood). What should we do? "

After this conversation, Alfred Mok always felt scared and uneasy, so he often kept in touch with Leslie Cheung. When eating this lunch, Alfred Mok felt that Leslie Cheung was depressed, so he offered to accompany him to the United States to see a doctor, and said that no one would know about going to the United States anyway.

"Some people also told me to go to Sichuan to absorb aura. Now it is the peak period of SARS, and I can’t go anywhere." Leslie Cheung replied.

After lunch, Leslie Cheung insisted on sending Alfred Mok back to the company. Alfred Mok thought it was good to go for a ride, so he got in his car. Even if he pushed open the door or opened the car door, Leslie Cheung was very careful and didn’t touch it with his hands. Obviously, he was afraid of SARS, and he also seemed to cherish his health and life.

"You hurry back and change clothes. You have an appointment to play ball." Alfred Mok knew that he was used to asking someone to play badminton every Tuesday, so he reminded Leslie Cheung before getting off the bus.

Leslie Cheung actually said to him, "You don’t have to call me again."

"I just saw you. There is no need to call you. Let’s talk about it tomorrow." Alfred Mok now then answer like this.

Go to the office building in front of the elevator, Alfred Mok suddenly felt a heart-pounding.

"You don’t have to call me again." That sentence, he heard Leslie Cheung said before.

Later, Leslie Cheung told him: "The window of that hotel could not be opened."

Alfred Mok, who was in a panic, immediately called Zhang Lvping, the elder sister of Leslie Cheung, hoping that she could get in touch with him.

At about 6 o’clock, Look Ping Cheung called back to Alfred Mok: "Don’t worry, I found him. He is in Central, shopping in the window, or buying some clothes in summer." Look Ping Cheung wanted to ask his brother out for coffee, but he said no, because he had already made an appointment to meet Chen Shufen.

Alfred Mok was a little relieved at that time, and didn’t worry about Leslie Cheung’s words any more.

Shortly after leaving Alfred Mok, Leslie Cheung’s phone number was dialed.

"Hello, Mr. Tang?" Chen Shufen dialed Leslie Cheung’s phone number, but Tang Hede answered the phone on the other end. "Where’s Leslie?"

"He said to go out for a walk. I asked him to play badminton at 7 o’clock in the evening. " The other party replied.

"Well … do you know where he went?" Chen Shufen asked again.

"He said he was having tea with friends in Central."

"Well, I’ll give him a call and I’ll contact you later." Then, Chen Shufen hung up.

Chen Shufen’s office is in Wan Chai, only two subway stations away from Central, which is quite close. She thought about it and decided to call Leslie Cheung first.

The phone was connected quickly, but it was not Leslie Cheung himself who answered it, but a cold message box. Chen Shufen thought at that time, maybe he was talking about something important with someone.

"Leslie, call me later." Chen Shufen left this message after the recording signal sounded.

April 1st, compared with other days, is no different, the same Tuesday, the same 24 hours, the same day and night … However, this day suddenly has a subtle difference. Outside the window, it is drizzling, quietly covering the city with a layer of gray gauze, which is thin and light, making people feel less energetic and more sad just looking at it.

However, when this day is over, a new day will come. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Suddenly, Chen Shufen’s phone rang. She answered the phone, but to her surprise, Leslie Cheung called her so soon.

Leslie, where are you? Chen Shufen asked him first.

"I’m in Central." Leslie Cheung calmly replied, this is an answer that Chen Shufen expected.

"What are you doing in Central?"

"Drinking tea."

"Well, who are you having tea with?" Chen Shufen asked again.

"No, just myself." Leslie Cheung’s response this time was not expected by Chen Shufen.

She smiled and complained, "Why don’t you call me when you drink tea alone?"? I am in Wan Chai, let me come to you. "

"No, I have to go." Leslie Cheung quietly declined.

Without thinking much, Chen Shufen asked again, "Where are you going?"

"Go Shopping."

"Can I go Shopping with you?" Chen Shufen offered.

This time, Leslie Cheung didn’t give up, and directly agreed to Chen Shufen’s suggestion. "Well, yes."

Chen Shufen looked at the time. He has an appointment with Tang Hede to play ball at 7 o’clock, and now he doesn’t have much time to go shopping. In a hurry, she will put the phone down to find him.

At that time, a word came from the other side of the microphone, which made Chen Shufen stop putting the phone down.

"I want to take this opportunity to have a good look at Hong Kong." Leslie Cheung’s voice said.

This sentence, like a drop of concentrated sulfuric acid, permeates silently and colorless, and then bores a small hole on the pillar as a support point.

"What do you want to see Hong Kong for?" Chen Shufen began to hear that something was wrong with him.

Leslie Cheung didn’t answer Chen Shufen’s question. The short silence didn’t make the pillar collapse, but the corroded hole became deeper and deeper. Even if he didn’t pay attention, it still came into view.

"What do you want to go? If you haven’t left yet, I’ll come to see you. " Chen Shufen said anxiously.

"Good, then come here." Leslie Cheung readily agreed, and others are in Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

The hole still exists, and we can’t turn a blind eye to it, but the pillar still stands. Maybe, this is just a harmless gap. As long as you repair it carefully, there will be no danger in the future.

However, it is easy for people to have the illusion that the more familiar things are, the less they will change. Who will know that a harmless little difference may be behind a thousand cracks that cannot be repaired? No one knows exactly when the first crack began to appear, let alone why it will form.

When people see the hole, perhaps, it is too late.

"Mandarin Hotel, Central, please." Chen Shufen got into a taxi.

The driver didn’t recognize her as the agent of the emperor’s superstar, and she wouldn’t be aware of her anxiety at the moment.

The red taxi is moving forward slowly. There are still raindrops floating outside. They gently hit the car body, splashing into a little bit of powder, then merging on the ground and slowly flowing into the underground waterway.

The lost rain disappeared silently towards the place where no one paid attention.

Somewhere, on a calm lake, there was a ripple for it.

There are no raging waves, and there are no raging storms.

Chen Shufen arrived at the front hall of the hotel. She looked around and didn’t see Leslie Cheung. So, she went to the coffee shop where they often get together to chat.

"Miss, how many people?" An enter a door, the waiter came forward to ask Chen Shufen.

"I’m looking for Leslie. Is he there?"

"Mr. Zhang?" The waiter was a little confused. "I don’t think I saw him here."

"He’s not here? No, we have an appointment. He must be here. I’ll go in and find him. "

Tap, tap, tap. Short footsteps echoed in the coffee shop, but it was a pity that it couldn’t find the object it was looking for, just like stepping into a familiar but unfamiliar maze. It turned around in the shop, stopped here, and looked there again. Every road had passed, but it was nowhere to be found.

Where the hell is he? Chen Shufen looked around anxiously, but no matter what, Leslie Cheung was still not in the coffee shop.

Did he just leave? Or is he not here at all?

Chen Shufen grabbed the phone and hurriedly pressed Leslie Cheung’s number. The phone was connected, and when Leslie Cheung’s voice rang from her mobile phone, she was relieved.

"Leslie, I have arrived. Where are you? "

"I just went out. You have a cup of tea over there and wait for a while. I’ll be back soon."

Leslie Cheung simply explained these words and then hung up. His voice sounds so calm, almost the same as usual, even calmer-as if it were a breeze blowing across the lake, gentle and chilly.

But on the lake with low breeze, it is unusually calm.

It’s like being still, not moving.

Chen Shufen waited and waited in the coffee shop, but Leslie Cheung never came back, and his heart became more anxious. The voices in the coffee shop seem to have disappeared, but they still seem to exist, but they can’t reach Chen Shufen’s ears. What are those voices saying? Are you telling a harmless April Fool’s joke? Or are you talking about SARS, which has become more and more serious in recent days?

No matter in the street or in the shop, people around are wearing masks. Everyone can’t see each other clearly. Whether the other person is laughing, crying or angry, no one can see clearly at all. Masks have become masks one after another, replacing people’s real faces and becoming the symbol of this city. Every day, every minute, every second, people are afraid to show their faces, not only afraid of viruses floating around, but also afraid of contact with others.

March 2003 may be the turning point of Hong Kong’s change. The gap between people has become thicker because of a thin mask. All health advice is to try to separate yourself from others, even the whole world. Medicine is prosperous, but people’s hearts are difficult to treat.

After waiting for 40 minutes, Chen Shufen’s cell phone finally rang, and she quickly took it.

"You wait for me at the entrance of the hotel in five minutes, at the main entrance, and then I will come." Thankfully, she finally heard Leslie Cheung’s voice.

Chen Shufen looked at the time. It was almost 6: 30, and there was only half an hour left until 7: 00, so she didn’t think much, and immediately checked out and left the coffee shop.

The weather in April is not cold, but it is raining slightly, which is different from the freezing biting chill. This coldness will only slowly sip the warmth of the human body.

Leslie Cheung did not appear.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, time goes forward with tired steps, so slow that almost no one notices it, but it does move, and even if it is slow, people’s hurried steps never catch up with it.

Five minutes have passed.

Leslie Cheung still didn’t show up.

Time goes on. One minute, how ridiculous it turned out. Same pace, same slip away. Time, which never stops and never goes backwards, always keeps its duty like this …

At 6: 41 in the evening.

"Bang!"

A loud bang exploded in the ear, and time almost stopped. At least, at this moment, almost all the people present have the illusion that time has suddenly stopped.

Chen Shufen looked in the direction of the sound in consternation, only to see a black shadow lying on the ground, and other guardrails at the entrance of the hotel were smashed.

Take a closer look, it’s a person.

Next to that man, there is a bus.

"Not good!" Chen Shufen hurriedly ran into the hotel and called out the waiter: "There was a traffic accident, and someone was injured! Right outside! Call an ambulance quickly! "

Chen Shufen hurriedly ran out again. Leslie Cheung will come to the door of the hotel at any moment, and Chen Shufen knows clearly that even if he was calm just now, he is suffering from depression now, and it is inevitable that he will be stimulated if he sees that scene, so she decides to run quickly to the other side and stop Leslie Cheung’s car.

However, after a few steps, Chen Shufen dismissed the idea. Maybe Leslie Cheung hasn’t arrived yet? Maybe he’s stuck in traffic? Chen Shufen sincerely hopes that Leslie Cheung hasn’t arrived yet, so that she can stop his car at the street first, so that he won’t pass the hotel gate.

So Chen Shufen picked up the phone and called Leslie Cheung.

But this time, the phone was not connected.

The international gold price has reached a new high! The price of gold jewelry in Kunming rose to →

The news that "the international gold price and silver price hit a new record high" has aroused widespread concern. On May 22nd, the reporter visited the market and learned that the current price range of gold jewelry in Kunming is 578 yuan-739 yuan/gram, and the price of silver jewelry is in 8 yuan-20 yuan/gram. Compared with last week, the price of gold per gram rose by 10 to 20 yuan, while the price of silver ornaments did not fluctuate significantly. At the same time, the repurchase market is also showing a prosperous scene. Many customers choose to sell gold in unison, and the recovery price per gram of gold is between 510 yuan and 580 yuan.

The price of gold fluctuates constantly. The price per gram of gold jewelry in Kunming has increased by 10-20 yuan compared with last week.

Since the beginning of this year, the rise in the price of gold has attracted the attention of the whole market. It is understood that since the end of 2022, the price of gold has increased by more than 40%. On the 20th, the international gold price once again reached an all-time high. London gold price and COMEX gold once broke through $2,440 per ounce, and the domestic gold price opened sharply higher.

On the morning of May 22nd, all the gold jewelry shops near Nanping Street in Kunming were still covered with the promotion signs launched at "520", and many shops were still continuing the preferential activities at "520". For example, "Gold can be reduced from 30 yuan, 80 yuan can be reduced, and 1000 yuan can be sent to 500 yuan". "Our activity of 520 is not over yet, and the gram reduction is 578 yuan/gram. Two days ago, it rose by about 10 yuan, but today it fell by three or four. Now the price of gold is unstable, one price a day, rising and falling. " Leofoo gold jewelry store sales staff said.

The salesperson of Mengjinyuan Jewelry Store said that the gold price of any brand is affected by the international gold price. In the middle and late April, influenced by the international gold price and the intensity of preferential activities, the price per gram of gold dropped by 30 yuan-40 yuan compared with that in April, but it was raised by more than 10 yuan/gram at the beginning of May, and has been on the rise ever since. "Because each brand’s gold technology and preferential strength are different, some of them will be adjusted high, and if they fall, they will be adjusted low. Our family has raised the 20 yuan per gram these two days."

According to the interview, the current price of gold jewelry in Kunming is 578 -739 yuan/gram, and most brands have raised their 10 yuan -20 yuan prices from 20 days ago. However, on the 22nd, a few department stores lowered the price of gold by 3-5 yuan per gram. For example, Chow Tai Fook’s gold price was 743 yuan/gram on the 21st and 739 yuan/gram on the 22nd, down by 4 yuan/gram. Sales staff of gold jewelry stores said that due to the influence of international gold prices, the price of gold in gold jewelry stores has been rising every day recently, but the fluctuation is not great, and the increase is within 20 yuan. On the whole, the price remains high.

"The higher the price of gold, the more gold is preserved, and the gold jewelry store sells better." Mr. Huang, a salesperson of the gold jewelry store, said that although the continuous rise in the price of gold will disturb the consumption to some extent, it will positively boost the profit rate of gold jewelry companies. On the whole, the rise of gold price has more advantages than disadvantages for the performance growth of gold jewelry enterprises.

Bai Wenxi, vice chairman of China Enterprise Capital Alliance, also told the Securities Daily reporter: "For those gold jewelry companies that have more gold reserves in the early stage, the profit rate is expected to increase more with the rise of gold prices." The rise in the prices of precious metals such as gold and silver comes from multiple factors. In terms of gold, the fundamentals of supply and demand are the fundamental reasons for pushing up the price of gold. According to the data of China Gold Association, in the first quarter of this year, the national gold consumption was 308.905 tons, an increase of 5.94% compared with the same period in 2023.

Customers tend to invest in buying gold.

In addition, many staff of gold jewelry stores have said that since the upward trend of gold prices this year, they have attracted some new consumer groups, and customers have a certain investment bias in purchasing behavior, paying more attention to gold bars and heavy products. But for daily wear products with new technology and innovative design styles, it is still the first choice for young customers.

Mr. Yang, the person in charge of Kunming Liqiang Jewelry, said: "The rise in gold prices has stimulated consumption to a certain extent, but it has also brought competition. In product planning, we have made certain adjustments according to market demand and launched a series of new products to locate the needs of married customers and young consumers. For example, the series of "Strengthening the Strength and Awakening the Lion", which continues to sell well, and the series of "nine purple Leaving the Fire" butterfly bracelets launched this year are smart and interesting in design style and full of auspicious meanings. At the same time, we have continuously improved the customer service level of the store since this year, and launched various innovative additional services in terms of customer shopping experience, hand-knitting and wearing suggestions, especially DIY hand-woven gold products, which are very popular among consumers. "

The repurchase price of gold varies greatly.

As the price of gold continues to be at a high level, the gold recycling market is in a hot situation. The owner of a gold and silver recycling store in Nanping Street Pedestrian Street told the reporter: "The recycling price is different every day. Today, the recycling price of our store is 560 yuan/gram." The boss said that since the beginning of this year, as the price of gold has continued to rise, the number of customers who have come to sell gold has increased day by day, especially during the period when the price of gold has risen sharply. By the end of the week, more than 20 customers have come to sell gold, and the recovery of gold has increased significantly compared with previous years.

In the gold recycling market, the difference of gold recycling prices in different stores is close to 70 yuan/gram, and the recycling price of private gold repurchase stores is higher than that of gold jewelry brand stores. Therefore, most consumers choose to sell gold in private gold recycling shops. The salesperson of Baijue Jewelry said: "Our recycling price is 510 yuan/gram, but there are not many people who usually sell gold. Most customers choose to trade in the old."

In addition, during the visit, the reporter found that many gold brand stores all said that gold can only be exchanged in the store, that is, after discounting the gold products in the hands of consumers at the existing gold price, they can buy the goods in the store at the existing selling price. There are also some brand stores that only recycle their own brand of gold jewelry. For example, Chow Tai Fook only recycles the brand’s gold and can only sell it at Zhengyifang Store, and there are depreciation charges. At present, the gold recycling price of gold brand stores is in 510 yuan-568 yuan/gram, while that of private gold recycling stores is in 560 yuan-580 yuan/gram.

Kunming silver jewelry price is stable.

Although the price of gold has gone crazy, it is still slightly inferior to that of silver. On May 17th, COMEX Silver rose 6.36% to $31.775 per ounce, while London Silver now rose 6.60% to $31.49 per ounce, both hitting 11-year highs. In intraday trading on May 20th, COMEX silver and London silver also reached new highs, and COMEX silver futures rose 2.55% to $32.055 per ounce.

But surprisingly, in Kunming silver jewelry market, most silver jewelry stores have not been affected by the rise in international silver prices, and still maintained a stable price level. The sales staff of Laofengxiang Jewelry Zhengyifang Store said that because the price of silver is relatively cheap, the price fluctuation is not easily affected by the global silver price. "At present, our silver jewelry is buy one get one free, and the price per gram is 18 yuan. This price has been maintained for several years."

The owner of another silver shop named Qinglian Sterling Silver revealed that although the price of silver has been rising, the sales volume will be greatly affected because the price of silver has been low and the profit margin is limited, and most customers are loyal old customers. If the price is suddenly raised, even if it is one or two yuan. "According to the different labor costs, the price is 11 yuan-12 yuan/gram. If the current inventory is sold out and the international silver price continues to rise, it will consider making adjustments. "

In the Kunming silver jewelry market, the price of silver jewelry per gram is generally between 9 yuan and 20 yuan, depending on the technology and brand. A few jewelry stores have raised the 1 yuan per gram according to the global silver price, but most stores have not made any adjustment yet.

It is understood that in the past 25 years, the price of silver has risen by more than 575%. Analysts believe that the demand for silver in industrial production will further increase, and this precious metal will become more and more attractive to investment. On the one hand, silver is becoming more and more important in industrial production. It is used in many modern products, including almost all electronic products, such as smart phones, computers, solar panels, electric car batteries and many other products. Therefore, the price of silver will rise further in the next few years.

The History and Art of Maijishan Grottoes, the Pearl of Silk Road (Ⅰ) The Series Ⅲ of Silk Road Grottoes

  When it comes to China’s grottoes art, people first think of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Luoyang Longmen Grottoes and Datong Yungang Grottoes, while Maijishan Grottoes, which are also called the four major grottoes with them, are quite unknown to boudoir people, but this does not affect their unique historical and artistic value.

  I. Geographical location and construction background of Maijishan Grottoes

  Tianshui, known as "Qin Zhou" in ancient times, is located in the upper reaches of Weihe River at the end of Qinling Mountains in the southeast of Gansu Province, and is known as "Longshang Jiangnan". Because it is adjacent to Chang ‘an in Guanzhong in the east and borders Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan and Nanjing, it has been a battleground for military strategists and an important transportation and economic and trade center on the Silk Road since ancient times. The well-known Maijishan Grottoes fall on a lonely cliff on the branch of Xiaolongshan at the northern foot of Qinling Mountain, 30 kilometers southeast of this ancient city.

  Maijishan, also known as "Maijiya", got its name from Biography of High Monks and Biography of Xuangao, which records that Xuangao, a high monk of Shiyang Temple in Guanzhong, lived in seclusion in Maijishan because of the turbulent situation. Li Huanchuan, a book of Wei Dynasty, recorded that in the third year of the Northern Wei Dynasty (506), Qin Zhou wrote Lu Gou ‘er’s rebellion, and Lee Huan, the secretariat of Liangzhou, "ordered Shi Changle and others to go to aid from Maiji Cliff".

  As for why we should call this strange peak standing alone at the end of the mountain ridge like this, Wang Renyu, a writer and great poet of the Five Dynasties, has a wonderful description in "Yutang Gossip Maijishan": "Maijishan, who crosses the Qing River in the north, gradually moves south; Five hundred miles of hills and mountains, half of Maijishan; Rise a stone, millions of seeks; Looking at the group, like a farmer’s wheat, it is named. "

  As for the excavation and construction of Maijishan Grottoes, according to historical records, it began in the period of the Sixteen Countries and the Late Qin Dynasty. Since then, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty have continued to build, which lasted for more than 1,600 years. There are 221 existing caves and caves, 3,938 statues, 10,632 murals, nearly 1,000 square meters, and a large number of steles, scrolls, documents and other cultural relics.

  Known for its beautiful natural and cultural landscapes, lifelike clay sculptures, magnificent murals of the Northern Dynasties and breathtaking cliff pavilion plank road architecture, it is well-known at home and abroad.It is also the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units announced by the State Council on March 4, 1961, and a national five-A-level tourist scenic spot. On June 22, 2014, it was officially recognized as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO as an important part of the "Silk Road: the road network of the initial section and the Tianshan Corridor".

  The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was an important period of great political turmoil, great cultural changes and great ethnic migration in the history of China, and it was also a critical stage of the intersection, collision and integration of foreign Buddhist art and China traditional culture. The Maijishan Grottoes, located at the southern route of the Silk Road at that time, were the true portrayal and precious historical remains of this change in Guanzhong and Longyou areas at that time.

  AD 3-mdash; In the 4th century, Indian Buddhism, which was active in Central Asia, the Western Regions and Xinjiang, entered the Central Plains along the ancient Silk Road through the Hexi Corridor, and Chang ‘an, Luoyang, Chengdu and Jiankang (Nanjing, Jiangsu) became important centers of Buddhist culture communication at that time. Tianshui (formerly known as Qin Zhou), which is adjacent to Chang ‘an, has also become one of the earliest areas where Buddhism was introduced into the mainland. In the second year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (308), Zhu Fahu, a monk, retranslated the "Pu Yao Jing" in Tianshui.

  Bo Fazu, an eminent monk in Chang ‘an, promoted Buddhism in Guanlong all the year round, and he had a great influence among believers. He was known in history as "the right side of the letter, and it was like a god." Later, Fazu was killed by Zhang Fu, the secretariat of Qin Zhou, which caused the Qiang people in Tianshui and Longxi to be angry. They rose up and attacked Qinzhou City, and Zhang Fu was killed as a result. All Qiang Hu felt that their revenge had been reported, so they dismembered Fazu and took it back to the tower to support him as a souvenir. This incident shows that Buddhism had penetrated into all social strata in Qin Zhou at that time, and Buddhist activities had become an important part of people’s daily spiritual life.

  Maijishan, as a peculiar Danxia landform in Qin Zhou, has attracted people’s attention since the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, Wei Xiao, who confronted Emperor Liu Xiu of Han Dynasty, built a summer palace in Diaochao Valley behind Maijishan. Yu Xin, a great writer in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, called Maiji Cliff "the famous mountain in Longdou and the spiritual mountain in Hexi", and the Annals of Qinzhou also called its mountain "the crown of nymphs in the Qin Dynasty". It can be seen that the ancients have long regarded Maijishan as a place to cool off and ask questions.

  During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, meditation and image viewing were one of the most important religious practices of monks in the northern region, and Maiji Mountain, with its quiet environment and beautiful scenery, naturally attracted the attention of monks. When Xuangao arrived here, there were already eminent monks from the Qin Dynasty meditating here, and the number of monks had reached as many as 100, which shows that the Buddhist activities in Maijishan were flourishing at that time. There is no clear evidence as to whether there was a cave sculpture in this period. However, it is a historical fact that Maijishan Grottoes were built in the late Qin Dynasty, according to the actual needs of monks’ meditation and the absolute position of the idea of Buddha III advocated by Yao Xing in the late Qin Dynasty.

  With the southward migration of Jinshi, the separatist regimes of large and small established by the northern nomadic tribes of Di, Qiang, Xiongnu and Xianbei launched a long-term scuffle in the northern region centered on Chang ‘an, Luoyang and Yecheng, and the people suffered from war and all kinds of displacement, plus the rulers’ admiration for Buddhism.Cave temples in northern China, including Maijishan Mountain, have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, just like strings of pearls embedded along the ancient Silk Road, which together constitute a brilliant chapter of China grottoes art and become an important carrier and window for people to know and understand the China, nationalization and secularization of foreign Buddhist art, as well as the cultural and artistic exchanges and interactions between ancient China and the West.

  Second, the grotto statues in the Northern Wei Dynasty

  There are about 90 caves in the Northern Wei Dynasty in Maiji Mountain, which are divided into early, middle and late stages. In the early stage, there were caves 74, 78, 90, 100, 128 and 165, mainly concentrated in the middle and lower part of the west cliff.

  ▲ Interior of Cave 78, early Northern Wei Dynasty.

  Its shape mostly imitates the dome-top tent style of ethnic minorities, and the statues are mainly three Buddhas and Maitreya. Later on, besides the Three Buddhas, the statues in the grottoes began to increase in themes such as Jiaojiao, Thought, Sakyamuni, Duobao and seven buddha, which fully reflected and embodied Mahayana Buddhism’s thought of Fahua Statue. The style of the sculpture shows strong characteristics of Gandhara in Central Asia and Hutulu in India, as well as the tall, burly and straight modeling characteristics of the northern nomadic people, which is highly consistent with the famous statue of Tanyao Cave in Yungang, and the excavation time is about 460 AD.

  In the mid-Northern Wei Dynasty, the grottoes were small in size, and their shapes showed Chinese characteristics, mostly square and flat-topped. There are many Buddhist temples or shallow arches in the grottoes, and there are many rows of small ear niches or altars on the wall. Typical examples are caves 23, 76, 86, 89, 92, 93, 115, 155, 159 and 163.

  The subject matter of statues in the grottoes is still dominated by three Buddhas, with one Buddha and two Bodhisattvas. At the same time, disciples began to appear. In addition, there are a large number of shadow-sculpted buddhas, bodhisattvas, disciples, heaven and man, flying, supporters and so on with different postures and exquisite sculptures. In terms of sculpture style, whether it is Buddha, Bodhisattva, disciple, flying and provider, the shape of the statue has changed from tall and burly in the early days to stretching and straight, the facial expression has changed from dignified and resolute to delicate and quiet, and the costume has also changed from soft body-fitting, bare-chested to drooping collar and skirt.Interestingly, in many caves, Hu and Han styles often complement each other:Wearing a round neck or a topless cassock, sitting on both sides of the Buddha, the Han costume with a flattering belt and a light posture is flying on the face, reflecting a strong atmosphere of changes in the times. This change mainly stems from the fact that TaBaHong, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, officially moved to Luoyang in the 18th year of Taihe (494). In order to speed up the pace of sinicization, he banned wearing Hu clothes, changed Han clothes, banned Hu dialect, changed Xianbei surname to Han surname, and vigorously advocated intermarriage between ethnic groups, re-establishing the gate system of the Northern Dynasty.

  It is under the influence of this series of sinicization measures that the old customs of Xianbei nobles can be fundamentally changed, and finally the central plains cultural etiquette system with Confucianism as the core is fully accepted and absorbed. At the same time, it also affected the Qin Zhou area under the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, because it has long been the main inhabited area of the Bian, Qiang, Xiuguan and Tu nationalities, this change has a certain lag.

  The late Northern Wei Dynasty was the heyday of Maijishan Grottoes excavation, and the representative grottoes were caves 81, 83, 87, 121, 122, 133, 142 and 154. The grottoes are more complex and diverse in shape. There are many ancillary buildings in the grottoes, such as abutment, Buddha’s seat, shallow niche, altar and so on, and the top has also evolved from a flat square to a square set of bucket tops.

  In addition to small and medium-sized caves in the traditional sense, large caves like Cave 133 began to appear, with a height of 5.80, a width of 12.20 and a depth of 10.83 meters. The cave is complex in structure, densely covered with shrines, rich in sculpture contents and diverse in theme combinations, forming the wonder of "Buddha shadows everywhere and flying all over the walls", which is amazing.

  Under the influence of Longmen Grottoes and other central plains areas, the sculpture style in this period has all been transformed into the Han-style characters in the praise belt.The Buddha’s face is handsome and smiling, with a straight nose and a small mouth, shoulders and chest, and a wide cassock. The clothes are hung over the Buddha’s seat, and the surface of the clothes is carved with sparse and rigid clothes lines. Bodhisattva wears a high bun, with a delicate face, and many ornaments such as collars, earrings, bracelets, armbands, wreaths, etc. She wears a shirt with wide sleeves, a waist-length skirt, high heels, and crosses the front of her belly or puts it on her knees after piercing. One hand holds the lotus bud, the other hand holds the silk, and the expression is quiet and graceful. Disciples are all dressed in robes, and their facial expressions are immature and pure, or naive, or brooding, or suffering from vicissitudes.

  There are many kinds of supporters: some wear crowns and hats, wide robes and big sleeves, some have high hair bun and long skirts mopping the floor, some hold utensils and walk with their children, and some stand with their hands chest-high, reverent and respectful. It fully shows the distinctive character characteristics, rich inner world and yearning for the pure land of Buddhism.
