Safety First (1st day)






Humans are animals that tend to choose to forget. The Chinese are even more so. Just look at the Chinese people's attitude towards the full screen of true and false news. Generally no more than three days of heat, seven days is considered long-lasting, if one month has passed, there will be people talking, it is almost hell.


There are also people who don't want to choose to forget, but the invisible hand of the network management department is like the Buddha. Sun Wukong made a riot in the Heavenly Palace at the beginning, and the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were not his opponents, but the Tathagata settled him with one hand.


Of course, the positive energy that the People's Daily continues to recommend does not belong to this category. There is a word called "official announcement." In the past dynasties, it should be called "the emperor's edict of Fengtian Chengyun."


It is said that the fish's memory is only seven seconds, so interesting things are always lingering in the mind, even if it is painful, it will be forgotten in a blink of an eye. Humans envy them, but if humans are really like fish, the earth will be too flat. If fish really only have a seven-second memory, the animals in the world will probably degenerate into their appearance, because what is the purpose of "living"?


The unfortunate news is that the fish’s memory is much longer than seven seconds.


Tony J. Pitcher, an ichthyologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada, once talked about an experiment in the book "Fish Cognition and Behavior."


In his laboratory, two different colored tubes were put in the goldfish breeding pond. Only when the goldfish chooses the correct color can they get food. After training for a period of time, the colored tubes were taken out. A year later, when the researchers put the tube in the pool again, the goldfish immediately chose the tube with the color that can be used for food, and was very excited.


After talking about the Chinese for a long time, the memory of the Americans is not much better. In the new crown epidemic that broke out last year, the number of Americans infected has exceeded 40 million, and the number of new cases every day continues to increase in units of tens of thousands. Since Biden took the stage, the published data has been changed to vaccination data. Americans have also chosen not to watch these new cases. It seems that they have also chosen to forget and turn a blind eye.


The whole world is vaccinating at full force. Looking at it now, Americans really intend to coexist with the new crown virus. Britain has taken the lead in doing this, and many countries are eager to try it. It seems that "forgetting" and "turning a blind eye" are also good things.


China is the only country in the world that adopts a strict defense against the "new crown virus" and implements a prevention and control strategy of "zero tolerance" and "zero".


The outbreak alert in Fujian Province that began to be discovered and spread on September 10 is really insignificant in terms of data, not to mention comparing it with the United States or Canada. However, the prevention and control actions and strength are indeed astounding, and the tacit cooperation between the people of the Chinese people is also an unimaginable relationship between the government and the people in other countries.


In China, French Emperor Napoleon called it the "sleeping lion of the East", British historian Toynbee predicted that "Chinese civilization will lead the world", and Chinese scholar Professor Qin Hui warned of "the unsustainability of low human rights advantages"...


Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2017, I checked and the top leader said that "the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century" 39 times.


Everyone must have noticed the September 10 call between US President Biden and China's top leader, but may have overlooked another low-key news. According to sources quoted by Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal, Biden’s major economic cabinet members, including U.S. Trade Representative Dai Qi and Secretary of Commerce Raymondo, also met on September 10 to consider re-citing Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Law to initiate a policy against China. Investigate the behavior of industrial subsidies.


Four years ago, on August 18, 2017, after Trump assumed the presidency of the United States, the United States officially launched the 301 investigation of China, which became a key event in the Sino-US trade war. Four years later, when the Sino-US trade war was overwhelmed by escalating technological, financial, military, and institutional warfare, the trade war quietly returned....


China is known as the troika of investment, consumption and foreign trade. At present, the most outstanding economic highlight of China is foreign trade. At this time, the United States also launched the 301 investigation, and it is very easy to get the follow of Europe, Japan and other countries. This is an insidious trick of the Biden administration.


As far as “changes” are concerned, it is nothing more than “left-right”, “good or bad”, or “forward or backward” transition judgments or actions. In other words, it is an image description of “opportunities and challenges fighting”. The term "big" should not be alarmist, even the most ordinary people should feel it, whether you are a white-collar worker in the IT industry, a takeaway brother, a house-buying sister, and teachers of all sizes... …


The word "harmony" has not been mentioned for a long time, and the word "struggle" is now the main theme.


My "Ten Years and Ten Countries" and "Hundred Days and Hundred Articles" plan, following the swan farms in Silicon Valley in the United States, Cambridge in the United Kingdom, Toronto in Canada and Saskatchewan, this year is the fifth year.


After thinking about it, China is undoubtedly the eye of the storm in the world of great changes in the 1920s-2021. Walking in China, using the "ten years and ten countries" mentality to walk in China, may have different observations and experiences.


Friends who know my "Ten Years, Ten Countries" and "Hundred Days and Hundred Articles" project know that this was an idea when I lived on Vancouver Island in 2017. That is to use the next ten years to choose a country, a city, a university, and a person to live for 100 days every year. See with your own eyes, listen with your own ears, think with your own brain, write a essay every day, and use 100 texts to record what you see, hear, and think. Do not seek authority, but seek truth.


In 2021, I will choose China for the fifth stop, and the city will be located in Chengdu. I specifically requested the status of a short-term visiting scholar in the School of Marxism, Southwest Jiaotong University. I think it would be more convincing to tell Chinese stories in a Chinese context.


Of course, what is different from the past is that I will use my footsteps to measure Chengdu, and I will use my feet to measure the north and south of China, to discover the logic behind the Chinese dream.


Today is September 16th in Chengdu time. I took Sichuan Airlines flight 3U8502 and landed in Chengdu at 6:30 in the afternoon. It took 13 and a half hours to complete the 10,000-kilometer flight from Vancouver on the other side of the ocean.


Recalling the nucleic acid test and serum test two days ago, I received the health code issued by the Chinese Consulate in Vancouver a day later. Although it was a little nervous, it was an orderly epidemic prevention procedure. There are naturally fewer people at Vancouver Airport because of the drastic reduction in flights, but the queue for ticket exchange is quite long. Everything is interpreted as a "slow" word. If you want to complain, just complain about the lingering "new crown virus".


Although the flight attendants and flight attendants on the flight were dressed up for epidemic prevention, they could not see the appearance of their faces, but their language was as gentle as ever.


The entry epidemic prevention inspection at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport is naturally as strict as the legend, one step at a time, no absolute step. Although there are flaws, they are not concealed, and the staff are all dressed up in protective clothing and meticulous. During the nucleic acid test, I gently asked the sampling staff "How many hours do you have to work every day?" The young man said lightly, "Usually eight or nine hours, but more than ten hours when busy."


Coming out of the airport, boarding the shuttle bus to the isolation hotel, checking into the hotel room, I checked my watch-10:30 in the evening. It took four hours from landing to check-in. Compared with the rumored at least eight hours, it seems to be an overstatement.


To be honest, China's work efficiency is indeed the best in the world.


In the course of four hours, from the airport to the hotel, I was most impressed by two places. One was that except for the staff wearing protective clothing, no outsiders were seen during the whole journey. The second is to arrive at the hotel, wearing staff with the words "Wuhou District Epidemic Prevention", not to labor the passengers, but orderly picking up a pile of large suitcases of the passengers from the trunk of the bus and placing them at the door , Disinfect one by one, convenient for passengers to pick up.


A small move instantly moved me, and also touched many passengers on the bus from Vancouver. A girl took out her mobile phone and put this scene into a photo frame.


Starting from today, the first thing I need to do is to complete the 14-day quarantine of the designated hotel and not to step out of the room. New Century Manju Hotel in Wuhou District of Chengdu is my isolation place. It is very clean, very user-friendly, and even has some warm flavors. After leaving here, I will continue to self-quarantine at home for another 7 days, rare meditation, cleansing the brain, and a good time of lightness.

This is also an experience, a kind of walking. I sincerely hope that China's anti-epidemic "zero-clearing" policy will be successful, so that countries that choose post-vaccination herd immunity will regret the choice of "forgetting", and this will give China's rise again a new momentum that has not been encountered in a century.


Although the palm of the Tathagata Buddha has boundless mana, it also has a life gate. It is painful to be stung by the sting of the scorpion essence, and he suddenly loses his mana.


Chinese culture believes in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and has always worshipped Tathagata Buddha. New China's raising of the banner of Marx and his elders was naturally the result of defeating the king and the invaders. Although the Christian culture of Americans is not long, it is the foundation stone and foundation of the nation.


The meaning of walking is not walking, but thinking. The thought of authority is never the authority, the thought is the authority to find the truth through phenomena. Maybe we will never know the truth, but we understand the logic behind our thoughts, that is the logic of truth.


[Zhang Jiawei Chengdu Hundred Days Random Notes] What I have recorded in a hundred days is what I have seen, heard and thought, so that I can remember what I have seen, heard and thought. Because I am a fish that can remember, so I am happy, and even more painful.


The 21-day quarantine period will be reduced to 5 days. It’s a discount for a few days. The sixth day starts on October 9 when the quarantine is lifted, and one article per day will continue until one hundred articles in a hundred days are completed. As for the New Year's Eve speech in 2022, do you talk about it? How to say it? Where to speak? I don’t know yet, maybe I won’t talk about it...


Safety first!
