When you can’t tell the truth from the false, you need to make multiple proofs and comprehensive judgments, and you can’t be biased and biased, and you will eventually be misled by unilateral information. If some rumors are difficult to distinguish, we should pay attention to the source of network information, see if there are authoritative media reports or official news releases, so as to judge whether the information is reliable. When sensational news appears, you should think for a moment before forwarding it, treat it calmly, and forward the information with the word "net transmission" more carefully. Before commenting on your speech, you should first consider whether your speech is well-founded, whether it will have adverse effects on others and society, do not fabricate facts, do not spread information lacking factual basis, and be a responsible and law-abiding citizen.

Internet rumors pollute the network environment, disrupt social order and affect people’s normal life. Baoding network police hope that the majority of netizens will not believe or spread rumors in network activities, resolutely resist and actively report rumors and rumors, and jointly safeguard a healthy and orderly network environment and social environment.

  Eight, the main problems and improvement measures

Government information disclosure is a policy-oriented and legal work involving people’s production, life and scientific research activities. Although our bureau has established various working systems, we should deepen our understanding and application of the Regulations in specific operations, constantly strengthen the research on difficult issues in this system and this industry, improve the overall level of government information disclosure in our bureau, form a supervision mechanism of administration and handling affairs according to law, and promote the healthy development of intellectual property in our city.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

I have to say that Apple has set a Flag for two years. After nearly two years of waiting, AirPower officially announced abortion.

As Apple’s first wireless charger, AirPower was released with iPhone X on September 13, 2017, Beijing time; On March 30, 2019, Apple officially announced the cancellation of AirPower because it could not meet Apple’s high hardware standards.

Ending a released product before it is released is unprecedented in Apple’s history.

1. Apple announced the cancellation of the AirPower project.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

On March 30, 2019, Beijing time, Apple officially cancelled the AirPower wireless charging pillow project today. As for the reason, Apple saidCan not meet its high standards for hardware products.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

Dan Riccio, Apple’s senior vice president of hardware engineering, mentioned in the statement: "After hard work, we came to the conclusion that AirPower could not meet our high standards, so we cancelled the project. We apologize to those users who are looking forward to the release of AirPower. We still firmly believe that the future is wireless and are committed to pushing the wireless experience forward. "

In September 2017, Apple released the AirPower charging pillow with iPhone X, describing an innovative accessory that can wirelessly charge three Apple products at the same time, which was widely expected after the release.

However, it has not been officially released for nearly two years, and there are rumors that Apple has encountered technical problems that cannot be overcome, which has blocked its listing.

But there are also rumors that bring some hope to fans, and users still don’t want to see the project completely end.

Second, why did AirPower cancel?

Although Apple said that the reason for the cancellation was that AirPower could not meet their high standards, as for the exact reason, as early as September 2018, it was reported that AirPower would have a difficult delivery.

The first news broke out was Sonny Dickson, who said on September 17, 2018 that there were three major problems in the production of AirPower from some Apple insiders, which made the product unable to go on the market as scheduled, and it would be delayed or even abandoned.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

1. Overheating management problem: At present, AirPower generates too much heat, which reduces the charging rate. As the heat is transferred to the charging device during charging, it affects the charging, and at the same time, the heat will affect the internal charging chip using the "reduced iOS version", making some of its functions invalid.

2. Whether in software or hardware, the docking between AirPower and different devices is still not stable, especially when docking with Apple Watch and AirPod, there will be problems when transmitting charging data to iPhone.

3. The part responsible for wireless charging of AirPower consists of 21 to 24 induction coils. In order to charge at most three groups of products at the same time, AirPower has to divide the induction coils into three groups, which seems to be good in design, but it is quite complicated when the real production starts.

3. In the 563 days from birth to abortion, what did AirPower experience?

February 2017: Apple officially joined WPC wireless power consortium.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

On February 12, 2017, we learned from the supply chain that Apple officially joined WPC wirelesspowerconsortium. By logging in to WirelessPowerConsortium official website, we learned that Apple’s information has been included in the certification catalogue, which involves two main parts: mobile phones and mobile phone accessories.

WPC(Wireless Power Consortium) was established on December 17th, 2008. Its mission is to create and promote the wide adoption of the international wireless charging standard Qi compatible with all rechargeable electronic devices in the market.

February 2017: Apple responded to why it joined WPC wireless power consortium.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

Regarding why we joined WPC wireless power consortium, an Apple spokesman responded to this matter: Apple is a member of many industry development organizations, and as the leader and contributor of these organizations, Apple actively participates in the activities of these organizations.

Apple’s participation in wireless power consortium is intended to participate in the open cooperative development of future wireless charging standards and provide more ideas for the development of wireless charging standards. We are very much looking forward to its cooperation with WPC and other members of the alliance.

In addition, WPC also responded to Apple’s accession to the alliance: the companies that occupy the largest market in the mobile phone market are now members of WPC, and they will actively participate in the discussion of wireless charging standards. In the past year, we have seen that Qi has become the de facto standard for wireless charging. This year, we expect the whole ecosystem to have a stronger development momentum.

September 2017: Apple iPhone is equipped with wireless charging for the first time.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

In 2017, Apple released three wireless charging mobile phones, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, which brought wireless charging function to the iPhone for the first time. With the designated wireless charger, it can realize 7.5W wireless fast charging. Apple iPhone is equipped with wireless charging, and the driving effect is obvious. Domestic manufacturers have followed this function one after another. It is reported that more manufacturers will join this queue in the future.

Apple released the iPhone 8/X with wireless charging function, which is a milestone for the wireless charging industry, and the entire wireless charging industry showed explosive growth.

Take WPC wireless power consortium as an example. When the iPhone was released, there were only over 200 WPC members. With the addition of Apple and the confirmation of the wireless charging function of the new iPhone, the number of WPC members has now exceeded 600, exceeding the number of WPC members accumulated in the past nine years in less than one year!

The original wireless charging board of Apple AirPower announced at this conference has one-to-many charging function, and at the same time, it can wirelessly charge three devices: iPhone 8/8 Plus/X, Apple Watch Series and AirPods.

However, when it comes to the release time, the official said at the time that it would wait until 2018, and did not give a more specific time.

Just as everyone cheered for Apple to announce its support for wireless charging, the AirPower foundry was also exposed. According to insiders, the order for Apple AirPower was exclusively taken by Luxshare, and the first batch of goods was 10 million units.

November 2017: Apple AirPower is now in mass production, and the time to market is confirmed!

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

Recently, @ Chargehead.com Weibo exposed a photo of the internal coil of Apple’s suspected AirPower wireless charger. As can be seen from the picture, it has a total of 16 coils, and the overall shape is quite consistent with the AirPower coincidence of Apple’s official track shape.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

The official AirPower wireless charger has built-in multiple coils, which solves the problem of charging multiple devices at the same time, and also solves the problem of finding the position when charging, so it should have the characteristics of multiple coils, free position and one-to-many charging. Now it seems that the exposure map is exactly as we expected.

January 2018: Apple AirPower has not been listed yet, and Shenzhen manufacturers have launched a mini version.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

When AirPower was ready to come out, the charging head network got news from the supply chain, and Shenzhen manufacturers had launched a mini version of AirPower. This mini version can not only charge Apple watch, but also charge an iPhone X at the same time. Compared with the AirPower officially released by Apple, this looks much smaller in appearance.

February 2018: Apple AirPower and AirPods wireless charging boxes finally arrived: it is expected to be shipped in March.

September 2018: China engineers challenged Apple to develop a cheap version of AirPower wireless charger.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

This wireless charger adopts five independent wireless charging and transmitting modules, each of which can work independently and not interfere with each other; The modules are optimized by algorithm to avoid working at the same time and switch intelligently; Support free position charging, and support multiple devices charging at the same time. In the actual experience, it is almost the same as AirPower.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

All the five modules of this cheap version of AirPower support iPhone 7.5W fast charging, and are compatible with Samsung and other mobile phones’ 10W wireless fast charging.

This design method has advantages compared with the current multi-coil scheme on the market, and has the same experience as AirPower. The input interface is USB-C, which is not a common Micro-USB, and supports USB PD high-power charger for power supply.

As for when this cheap version of AirPower will be sold, it should not be too far away. After all, three new iPhone machines are coming, and it is the belief of fruit fans to collect three artifacts to charge together.

September 2018: The iPhone XS conference did not mention AirPower at all.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

On September 13, 2018, Beijing time, the annual Apple iPhone conference arrived as scheduled. Just like the previous online exposure, a total of three new iPhone machines were released, and their official names were called iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR.

In terms of wireless charging, the whole system is equipped with an upgraded version of wireless charging, which is faster than iPhone X.

Unfortunately, however, Apple officials didn’t disclose any information about the sale of AirPower at this conference, and after the conference, Apple official website didn’t find any information about the sale of this product.

September 2018: Apple official website AirPower "disappears"!

After the iPhone conference in September, Apple official website even deleted almost all the information related to AirPower, and this product disappeared directly, which was suspected of being hacked.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

Previously, on the iPhone product introduction page, there were descriptions about the AirPower wireless charging board, but in the past year, Apple has completely cleaned up its traces in official website, and the only thing left is a charging picture on the AirPods charging box page, and Apple has not even mentioned the name AirPower.

October 2018: Guo Ming predicted that AirPower may be released in the first quarter of 2019.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

Apple analyst Guo Ming Ti said in a research report that Apple may launch AirPower in the first quarter of 2019, which means that the accessory may be released soon.

The delayed release of AirPower may also be the reason why Apple has not released AirPods wireless charging box.

Guo Ming said that like AirPower, AirPods wireless charging box may be launched in early 2019.

December 2018: Apple has not given up AirPower, and the latest patent reveals its powerful functions.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

Apple AirPower has repeatedly "cooled down" and is suspected of being cut. However, a new patent recently exposed shows that Apple has not given up this product: Apple applied for a new patent of AirPower, which can cooperate with iOS to display the power of multiple devices.

According to reports, although Apple’s AirPower wireless charging cradle is still nowhere to be found, the patent application recently published by the US Patent and Trademark Office provides some details about the safety function of accessories. This patent describes how to use a unique ID to protect the data transmitted between AirPower and the device it is charging, and so on.

A drawing in this patent application shows that AirPower can identify the device with the largest screen being charged and display the charging status of other charging devices on it.

December 2018: Apple has not given up AirPower wireless charging: it continues to recruit people around the world.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

According to the official recruitment websites of Apple in the United States and New Zealand, Apple is still trying to recruit engineers to develop, hoping to make the wireless charging pillow available for sale as soon as possible. You can also see the mission of the wireless charging technology team to build the best wireless charging user experience in the world by inventing the most advanced technology.

Apple’s current wireless charging R&D team is located in California, USA and Auckland, New Zealand, of which California is the spacecraft headquarters and Auckland is the wireless charging technology company PowerbyProxi acquired by Apple in October 2017.

PowerbyProxi’s unique stunt is bowl-shaped multi-coil wireless charging, which supports wireless charging at any free position in the bowl. This company was originally spun off from a project of the University of Auckland. It participated in the development of wireless charging system based on Qi standard, and it is one of the 25 Pharaoh members of WPC in wireless power consortium.

Up to now, the product description of iPhone XS smart battery case has not been modified, which points out that it is "compatible with AirPower wireless charging pad and other Qi-certified chargers".

In the product descriptions of the United States and other countries, Apple only mentioned the compatibility with Qi-certified chargers. It is worth mentioning that apart from the iPhone XS smart battery case on Apple Mall in Malaysia, Apple did not mention AirPower on all new smart battery case product pages in Malaysia, the United States or other countries.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

According to the patents approved by Apple today, the company really needs to solve some problems before it officially sells the AirPower charging board, including this "Magnetic Vision System".

According to the PatentlyApple website, Apple’s new patent describes in detail the working principle of AirPower’s "magnetic vision system", which is designed to prevent foreign metal objects from permanently damaging the charging board. Apple’s final solution is that once the charging board detects a potentially destructive foreign object, AirPower will automatically shut down and terminate the power supply.

summary

AirPower is gone, but the innovation pace of Shenzhen manufacturers continues.

For example, the dual-device wireless charging mentioned earlier, which came out the first time after the release of AirPower, supports dual-device wireless charging in fixed position with dual coils. Later, there was even a production version of the five-coil wireless charging, which supported free position and dual-device charging. It could charge iPhone+AirPods or two mobile phones wirelessly at the same time, and the actual experience was close to AirPower.

As Apple said, we still firmly believe that the future belongs to wireless.

The cooperation between big manufacturers is not smooth, and the brand of Extreme Vietnam has fallen overnight. What happened?

Happy people are all alike. I heard here that Dachang started the Spring Festival holiday, Tencent took 9 days off, and voice transmission took 11 days off. Ctrip can apply for home office for up to 2 months. No wonder graduates are eager to go to Dachang. Of course, big factories are not easy to mix, and they may be stupid and crazy PUA like Alibaba Fan’s executives. Fan’s stupid name also set off a map cannon, saying that Guangzhou used to be a place of exile and barbarism, and he couldn’t understand the bird language he spoke. Brother Man has to pick up some bootleg goods here: your boss Ma Yun has taken you to exile your whole family. This sentence is Cantonese, but he can’t understand it anyway.

Unfortunately, each has its own misfortune. Like Jiyue, it was originally holding the thigh of a big factory, but now it seems to be yellow overnight. Stores have closed their stores and locked their cars, and media communication groups have dissolved like bubbles. The anchors who broadcast live to the extreme Vietnam are still talking about how good the car is and how big the discount is. Suddenly, it is said that the owner is gone. That kind of sense of drama, Hengdian actors may not be able to play it, and the anchor suspects that a director is deliberately secretly auditioning.

In fact, it stands to reason that only 774 vehicles were sold last year, although the extremely fast start was a bit slow. However, this year, like chicken blood, especially since July, sales have increased significantly. As of November, it has sold a total of 14,055 vehicles, of which about 10,000 are extremely Yue 01, and nearly 4,000 are extremely Yue 07. At first glance, it seems not bad, and it feels like a counterattack, but in fact, compared with the mainstream new forces, it is still a long way off. Nezha, for example, can sell for more than a year in a month, but it’s still half in the soil, let alone you?

Looking back, the more defeated, there is something to blow the water. This brand of new power, from the beginning, gave people a little grandstanding. First, the name, originally called "Jidu", is the product of Geely’s cooperation with Baidu. It is obviously a bit reckless to call Jidu simply and rudely. By August last year, the first car was going on the market, and the name was hastily changed to "Extreme Yue". After this change, it has become a strange brand, and the popularity that it has accumulated before has been finished; Then the store materials have to be re-made, and the sale of new cars has been postponed. It’s like a guy who left his car hot, and suddenly said that he would go to the 7 th boy, and then everything would be cold later.

Secondly, the positioning is also, when I came up, I was maverick, saying that I was a "car robot" and thought it was a child playing Transformers. Such a stupid and outdated concept will, of course, fade away later. Together with a virtual conference on modeling rollover during the epidemic, the specific content was forgotten in time.

Then there is its design, which is funny and angry. I don’t know if the executives of Extreme Vietnam love Tesla deeply and imitate some design elements of Tesla intentionally or unintentionally. For example, screen shifting, key lighting, half steering wheel, etc., as well as extreme krypton without door handle and AC charging port. The anti-human designs on new energy vehicles that people spit out are almost all collected. The next step is to summon the dragon by chanting a spell.

However, the extremely high management still ignores the market voice and what is anti-human, which is called avant-garde! Therefore, if you don’t listen to the advice, you will have a bad result. The sales volume will not move the cash flow, and the employee social security below will not be paid. The top management still has to say some beautiful words to stabilize the employees, and what "enter the era of entrepreneurship 2.0". Wu toothpick stepped on the sewing machine and couldn’t help rap: Look at this cake, it’s big and fragrant.

However, the most important thing is that it has failed to win the support of shareholders. Looking at the extreme, it is the product of the strong alliance between Geely and Baidu. Who knows that in the end, it is an abandoned child that my father does not kiss and my mother does not love. But if you savor it carefully, the result is understandable. Everyone knows that Geely has collected and bought over the years, and its sub-brand family is huge. After the Taizhou Declaration, this situation of "too big to fail" will be changed, and the combination of Rui Lan, Geometry, Linker and Radar will be abandoned. As an "outdoor child" like Extreme Yue, Geely might as well give money to Extreme Krypton and the Galaxy for the sales of Mao Mao rain.

For Baidu, the process of extreme intelligence is far from reaching its expectations. Yan Hongge’s ambitious ambition can be supported by such a low slogan as "car robot"? People’s radish runs have begun to be commercialized, and they have directly killed Didi and taxi doorsteps. Where are they willing to spend money on car robots that are becoming more and more maverick?

So without funds, it collapsed overnight. But the boss Xia didn’t give up, and the internal letter said that he would enter the 2.0 stage. However, this is easier said than done. Extreme Vietnam has not made a breakthrough in the field of intelligence, and the capital chain has been broken. It is almost impossible to reverse Gankun in a short time. And if there is a future, it is estimated that there will be drastic reforms, such as listening to advice to change the design, making the car simple and easy to use, repositioning itself and finding a unique position in the market.

In any case, the more I think of a tall building, the more I collapse halfway. Whether I can rise again in the future will be discussed later. Now it’s just the owners and employees. The owner has bought a car for less than a year, and the car suddenly becomes an "orphan car". After-sale is not guaranteed, and maintenance is a problem. Employees seem to have no choice but to be dragged to leave their jobs. At this time, the slogan "China’s smart car history will surely have the name of every person" on the company wall is particularly ironic.

But in fact, the extreme is not completely helpless. Capital turnover is small and full, perfect closed loop.

The cinema that once fascinated Changsha people.

The Youth Cinema, once located in Huangxing Road. Information picture

Hunan Theatre used to be on Wuyi Road. Information picture

Wei ou

There were only about 10 or 20 cinemas in Changsha in the 1970s and 1980s. As a movie fan, I spent a lot of my spare time in these cinemas. At that time, the price of movie tickets was generally between a dime and a triangle, and our pocket money was still affordable.

Dongfeng Theater, My Spiritual Paradise

The nearest cinema to my home is Dongfeng Theatre. At that time, the Dongfeng Theater was still very magnificent. It had two gates, the east gate and the south gate. On the eaves of the south gate stood four big red signs of the Dongfeng Theater. From the two gates, they climbed a few low steps and each had a small hall for everyone to rest when waiting for the movie.

There are so many movies I have seen in Dongfeng Theatre that I can’t remember them clearly. I remember one year when the martial arts film Wu Linzhi was released, it was hard to get a ticket. I was still in junior high school and wanted to see it very much. I had to wait at the door with 23 cents to see if there was a refund. The weather was bad that day, and it was windy and rainy. Poor me, I was too small to touch the edge. Another time, one night when I was in senior three, a martial arts film "Heroes Out of Teenagers Since Ancient Times" was being shown here. I don’t know if more than a dozen students in our class ate Xiong Xin leopard gall or something, but they all went to the movies together. The film was still on, only to hear "the teacher is coming".
We were so scared that we all got under the seats one by one.

Dongfeng Theater, later changed to Dongfeng Film and Television City, has now become Mango Studios. It is one of the few places in Changsha that has been preserved since the 1970s and 1980s and has been used as a cinema.

Silver Palace Cinema was once the most advanced cinema in Changsha.

The Yingong Cinema on Zhongshan Road is also a cinema that we often visit. It is located next to the old Zhongshan Department Store, and its yard is the auditorium attached to the China Goods Exhibition Hall built in 1931. It was originally named Yingong Cinema, and famous Peking Opera artists Mei Lanfang and Ma Lianliang all performed here. In March l935, it was transformed into a cinema with the best screening facilities in the province. After 1951, it was renamed "Xinhua Cinema", and in 1988, it was transformed into the first 70 mm stereo cinema in the province, and the original name of "Silver Palace" was restored. Yingong Cinema has many first titles of Changsha movies: it is the first cinema in Changsha to fully play audio movies, the first one to play color movies and the first one to play stereo movies.

During the period when the Silver Palace was also called Xinhua Cinema, the courtyard was divided into two floors, and there were two rotating stairs for going up and down the stairs on the left and right sides of the lobby on the first floor. At that time, the cushion of the seat was movable, one side was leather, which could be turned over in summer, and the other side was bamboo, which made it cool to sit. After 1988, a stepped chair with high back and soft seats, an 18-meter-wide huge screen and a high-fidelity stereo were built here, which made people feel immersive when watching movies.

I have seen many movies here, such as Aurelian, Walter Defending Sarajevo, Escape from Danger, Break Dance, True Lies, Titanic and so on. I was still in primary school when I watched Aurelian. It was the first time that I went to the cinema alone.

From the Silver Palace to the west for a hundred meters, across the road is the Red Theater, which was built in 1957. Before the Cultural Revolution, the Red Theater only acted, but didn’t show movies. It didn’t start to show movies and play dramas until the 1970s. Besides many movies, we have seen many performances here. Although "red" is still there, there is no film showing.

Further west from the "red" is Changsha Youth Palace, which was opened to the public in 1958 and also has a cinema. I remember that in the 1980s and 1990s, there were not only movies here, but also the main place for the convention in Changsha. Especially on Children’s Day on June 1st every year, there will be a commendation meeting for outstanding miyoshi students in the city. In November 2013, Changsha Youth Palace officially started the demolition and reconstruction project, and the old Youth Palace cinema ceased to exist.

Liaoyuan Cinema, the earliest cinema in Changsha.

Coming out of the Youth Palace and passing the Zhongshan Pavilion, there was a prairie fire cinema at the intersection of Jixiang Street and Chunfeng Street on the most prosperous Huangxing Road at that time. Before liberation, it was the Changsha YMCA, so it was called the Youth Cinema. The Youth Cinema opened in 1914, which is the first cinema in Changsha. It uses the church as a projection hall, mainly to show religious films, as well as feature films, such as "Jewelry Case". During the Cultural Revolution, the Youth Cinema was changed to the Liaoyuan Cinema, which was divided into two venues, an indoor cinema and an open-air cinema. The open-air cinema was once transformed into a ballroom and a foot-washing city, and it became a famous Dragon City Entertainment City, which was once famous for a while, and then it was transformed into a wholesale market. Indoor cinemas are now rented rooms.

Hunan Theater, once the best theater in Hunan.

There used to be a famous "Hunan Theater" in the southwest corner of Wuyi Square, which is now the location of Jinjiang East.
Its predecessor was Lianhua outdoor cinema in Yichang Street, Changsha in the 1940s. In 1947, the Sixth Anti-Japanese Theater Team, known as the "literary light cavalry" in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, moved from Wuhan to Changsha, where it joined the Fourth Theater Team, which had arrived in Changsha earlier, and built the Lianhua Theater. In 1954, Wuyi Road was built in Changsha, Lianhua Theatre was demolished and Hunan Theatre was built.

Hunan Theater was the best theater in Hunan at that time. The seats were cowhide, the decoration of the audience hall was antique, and there was a blower to extract the cold air from the basement to cool down. In addition to showing movies, there are often first-class performances at that time, such as symphony concerts, ballet, acrobatics and magic, Beijing opera and so on. After the completion of Hunan Theatre, the first foreign performing group was the Soviet art delegation. In 1956, Mei Lanfang came to Changsha to perform in Hunan Theatre.

At the beginning of the 21st century, Changsha expanded Wuyi Road and demolished Hunan Theater.

Those old cinemas in Changsha that dissipated with the wind

In the 1980s and 1990s, cinemas in Changsha were mostly concentrated in core blocks such as Zhongshan Road, Wuyi Road and Huangxing Road. At the beginning of the 21st century, with the large-scale urban construction, a large number of old cinemas have closed down, changed jobs or been demolished, and gradually disappeared in the depths of time.

The popular cinema is the location of Bandai Square now. Before liberation, it was called Guotai Cinema, which was converted into a popular amusement park in the 1950s, and only in the early 1960s was it converted into a popular cinema. "Volkswagen" was in the northwest corner of the most lively Wuyi Square in Changsha at that time. After watching the movie, it was a pleasant and fashionable pleasure for Changsha people to order a pot dumpling at Xiangqun, a milk bread at the milk shop and an iced sour plum soup at Hongmei.

Opposite to the popular cinema, that is, the southeast corner of Wuyi Square, there used to be a silver star cinema built before liberation, which was demolished in 1996 due to the construction of Pinghetang commercial building.

Jiefang Road, where there used to be a Jiefang Cinema and Changsha Theater, has disappeared. In Pozi Street, there used to be a Xiangjiang Theater diagonally opposite to the Fire Palace, and later it became a place for theatrical performances in Changsha and even Hunan, known as "Xiwozi", and now it has become one of the performance venues of Laughter Factory.

There is also a cultural cinema next to the headquarters of Changjun Middle School, and there are also famous time-honored Shuang Yan Wonton Restaurant, Guofeng and Nanbeite grocery stores nearby. There is also a branch of the Cultural Cinema, which is not far away, just on the Bixiang street corner of Shuyuan Road. It is a rented club venue of the Provincial Metallurgical Bureau.

Now there used to be a construction workers’ club next to the mobile phone market in Baonan Street, which used to be the location of Hunan Mud Carpenter Club. In 1956, it was transformed into a construction workers’ club, and in 1986 it was renamed the construction workers’ cultural palace. In 2017, it was completely demolished due to urban transformation.

There is also a cinema next to the west gate of Martyrs Park on Dongfeng Road, which has been demolished and turned into many hotels. I have also seen many movies here, among which the most impressive one is "Eternal Life in Fire" organized by the school in primary school.

There are also the seamen’s club cinema on the edge of Xiangjiang River on Wuyi Road, a cinema in the northeast corner of Wujialing Bronn overpass, the workers’ club in the northern suburbs of Simaochong, a small cinema in Xiaoxiang Film Studio, the old workers’ cultural palace cinema on Xiangchun Road and the Red Flag Theatre opposite Yali Middle School, which have also disappeared in the years.

Although some cinemas exist as architectural forms, they have also become eclipsed in today’s bizarre and fantastic cinema world. For example, the Workers’ Cultural Palace in Dong Tang, the Construction Cinema opposite the Second Xiangya Hospital on Renmin Road, and the Railway Workers’ Cultural Palace on May 1st Road.

Time flies like electricity, the years that can’t be seen clearly, and the past that can’t be erased are like a gust of wind. But those youthful and beautiful memories will always be treasured in my heart and will never disappear.

    ● Competitiveness analysis

    As a brand-new compact model with its own brand, the competitors of Haima’s brand-new Familia M5 are naturally BYD Speedy, Great Wall C50, Changan Yidong and Emgrand EC7.

    Comparatively speaking, among these rivals, BYD Speedy and Great Wall C50 are equipped with 1.5T engines. In addition, Speedy also has remote control function and DCT dual clutch, which makes the brand-new Familia M5 not dominant in technology. However, Familia M5 still has certain advantages in CVT gearbox of Emgrand EC7 and 5MT of Great Wall C50. In the future, the arrival of Familia M5 1.5T model will widen this advantage and become one of the more powerful competitive models among the A+ class models of its own brand.

    Editor’s comment:With the continuous expansion of Haima’s product line, Familia, once a "pillar" model, may no longer be the biggest support for Haima’s annual sales data. However, with the continuous progress and strengthening of the product itself, the promotion of its market competitiveness still gives the new generation Familia M5 a brand-new historical mission. It is only a transition from maturity to success, and it still needs to stand the test of the market.

The battery life is over 2208km! Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition goes on sale.

On November 8, the DMH World Champion Edition was officially launched, and three new models were launched, with a guide price of 123,800-143,800 yuan. In addition, the new car has launched a "bite price", with a discount of 24,000 yuan to 99,800 yuan. After the World Champion Edition was added, the number of models on sale of Roewe D7 DMH increased to 6, with the guide price range of 123,800-145,800 yuan.

It is worth mentioning that the name of "World Champion Edition" comes from the fact that Roewe D7 DMH conducted a battery life measurement not long ago. The car successfully broke the Guinness World Record with a maximum distance of 2208.719km and an average fuel consumption as low as 2.49L per 100 km, and became the "car with the longest distance of driving with full fuel and electricity at a single time".

Despite the halo blessing of "world champion", the market performance of Roewe D7 DMH is not bright. In October, the sales volume was 2,227, ranking 90th on the car sales list. When the new car went on the market, Roewe D7 DMH was directly named after the "World Champion Edition", hoping to boost its market sales.

As an extended version, Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition has not been greatly adjusted in appearance, interior and configuration, but some details have been refreshed. In terms of appearance, the new car is equipped with a new style of wheels, which adds a bit of movement to the whole car. In addition, the new car has added the color of "Dawn Gold" to provide users with more choices.

In terms of size, Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition locates medium-sized cars, with body length, width and height of 4890/1890/1510mm, wheelbase of 2810mm and trunk volume of 450L. This size provides users with a spacious ride space, but the price of less than 100 thousand yuan has greatly improved its cost performance, which can be said to be the price of B-class cars only selling A-class cars.

In the interior part, the diamond texture of the middle and high models is changed to parallel lines, which is visually more simple, but does not lose the sense of fashion. In terms of configuration, Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition is equipped with a 12.3-inch central control touch screen and LCD instrument, which has the functions of voice control, continuous voice recognition, car networking, 4G WIFI, car KTV and so on. The high-equipped models provide L2-level automatic driving assistance.

In terms of power, Roewe D7 DMH adopts DMH system, equipped with 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and motor. The maximum power of the 1.5L engine is 82kW, and the maximum power of the motor is 137kW. The transmission system is matched with the first-speed DHT gearbox. The CLTC has a pure electric cruising range of 125km, a comprehensive cruising range of 1400km, and the lowest fuel consumption of WLTC is 3.95L/100km.

Comments: As an old-fashioned traditional car company in China, Roewe’s electrification transformation is still relatively positive. At present, a number of pure electric and DMH hybrid models have been launched, including the Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition, which was redesigned and listed this time. Although the listing of the new car has not changed much, the starting price of less than 100 thousand yuan is still sincere, which is a good choice for users who pursue practicality and long battery life.
