According to the website of the Ministry of Education on January 21st, recently, the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Promoting the Qualification Reform of Primary and Secondary School Teachers for Normal Students, implementing the decision of the the State Council Executive Meeting, continuing to deepen the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform, and continuing to carry out the reform of the examination-free accreditation of normal students in relevant colleges and universities on the basis of the reform of the examination-free accreditation of education graduate students and public-funded normal students.

　　The notice pointed out that according to the conditions for running a normal school and the audit results of running a school, the scope of the examination-free certification reform is delineated. Relevant normal majors in colleges and universities that joined the pilot provinces of the national primary and secondary school teacher qualification examination reform in 2017 and before can participate in the examination-free certification reform from 2022.

　　The circular requires that institutions of higher learning that implement the examination-free accreditation reform should establish and improve the assessment system of normal students’ educational and teaching ability, and classify and determine the teaching sections and disciplines according to the talent training objectives of normal majors. It is necessary to increase investment in normal education, integrate resources, and constantly improve the quality of training normal professionals. We should conscientiously do a good job in the issuance of the "Certificate of Teachers’ Professional Ability for Normal Students" and the submission of relevant data for the identification of exemption from examination. Education administrative departments at all levels should strengthen supervision, strengthen the quality monitoring of the training process and results of normal students, and guide colleges and universities to do a good job in the assessment and identification of normal students’ educational and teaching ability.

　　The notice stressed that if the relevant colleges and universities arbitrarily expand the scope of exemption from examination, or fail to issue the "Professional Ability Certificate for Teachers of Normal Students" for unqualified students, or neglect their duties or engage in malpractices for personal gain in the reform of exemption from examination, they will cancel the qualification of exemption from examination for relevant normal majors in accordance with the regulations, reduce the enrollment indicators of relevant normal majors in schools, and investigate the responsibilities of the main responsible persons and related personnel of schools.

According to the website of the Chinese Embassy in Canada, on May 4th, when Ambassador Cong Peiwu met with the head of the Canadian Foreign Ministry, he expounded his solemn position and protested strongly against the Canadian side’s threat to expel China’s diplomatic and consular personnel in Canada based on the lies of individual politicians and the media that "China interfered in Canada’s internal affairs".

Ambassador Cong pointed out that China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs, and Chinese diplomatic and consular officials have always abided by relevant international conventions and China-Canada consular agreements and performed their duties according to law. In addition, some politicians and the media, out of ideological prejudice, wantonly manipulate China-related issues, and wantonly attack and discredit China in order to gain political self-interest and attract people’s attention. China expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to this.

Ambassador Cong emphasized that the normal performance of Chinese diplomatic and consular personnel should not be discredited, and China’s national sovereignty, security and development interests should not be infringed. China strongly urges Canada to immediately stop this self-directed political farce and not to go further and further on the wrong and dangerous road. If Canada insists on provocation, we will resolutely accompany it to the end.

At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on May 4th, spokesperson Mao Ning made a statement on relevant issues. China has always opposed any country’s interference in other countries’ internal affairs, and has never had any interest in interfering in Canadian internal affairs. At the same time, China resolutely safeguards its own interests in sovereign security and development, and resolutely opposes any act that interferes in China’s internal affairs and harms China’s interests.

The day before, on May 3, the spokesman of the Embassy in Canada made a speech on the so-called "Chinese threat to Canadian parliamentarians" by some politicians and the media.

The spokesman pointed out that in March 2021, in response to Canada and the United States’ unilateral sanctions against Xinjiang, China’s relevant personnel and entities based on lies and false information, China announced that it would impose sanctions on them. Michael chong, a Canadian member, was included in the above sanctions list because he proposed and promoted the passage of a wrong motion concerning Xinjiang and grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs out of his own political interests.

The spokesman stressed that China resolutely safeguards national sovereignty, security and development interests, and resolutely opposes any act that interferes in China’s internal affairs and harms China’s interests. It is only natural for China to impose sanctions on people and entities that seriously harm China’s interests, and it is entirely self-inflicted for people like Michael chong to be sanctioned.

Food safety consumption tips

The long shelf life of canned food depends entirely on preservatives?

Open the lid (bag) to eat, delicious, convenient storage, recently, canned food has become a must-have item in many families’ inventory. However, an online micro-survey conducted by the reporter of China Consumer News recently on more than 200 consumers shows that most people’s comprehensive "goodwill" towards canned food is actually not too high because of the doubts that the food is not fresh, too many preservatives must be added, and too many nutrients are lost. But do these doubts really make sense? Let’s listen to experts in the field of food science.

Respondents’ cognition of canned food

Have you ever heard of soft cans?

In the era of relative scarcity of materials, canned food used to be a different flavor full of "luxury". In many memories of post-70s and post-80s, canned food is a nutritional product that can only be eaten on holidays or when you are sick.

Canned food was once a fancy food on the monotonous table of ordinary people. Almost all food can be canned. It is said that the selection of canned food is diverse, which can make people feel the richness of Manchu-Han banquet.

However, if your knowledge of canned food remains at the level of fruits, vegetables, fish and meat packed in tin cans or glass bottles, it may be a bit "outdated".

The National Standard for Food Safety "Canned Food" clearly defines canned food as a commercial aseptic canned food which is made of fruits, vegetables, edible fungi, livestock and poultry meat, aquatic animals, etc. as raw materials and processed by pretreatment, canning, sealing and heating sterilization.

Wu Xiaomeng, an associate professor at the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering of China Agricultural University, explained in an interview with the reporter of China Consumer News that the first meaning of canned food is sealing, and the second is to achieve commercial sterility. Its packaging can be either hard packaging represented by traditional metal cans or glass cans, or flexible packaging such as aluminum foil bags and high-temperature retort pouch, which is generally called soft canned food. For example, aluminum foil bagged vegetable bags in all kinds of self-heating foods, or prefabricated normal-temperature cooking bags such as Sichuan-flavored pork slices and fish-flavored shredded pork, all belong to the category of canned food.

Around 2000, as the earliest industrialized category in the food industry, canned food was gradually labeled as "unhealthy".

In 2003, an online list of "Top Ten Junk Foods Published by WHO" (canned food is on the list) was generally regarded as the fuse of canned food being cold among the people. Although this list has been fully falsified, it seems that it is difficult to open the tongue code of Chinese people, especially the traditional "hard cans" (metal or glass cans).

The data shows that although China’s canned food production ranks among the top in the world, the per capita consumption of canned food is less than 8 kilograms, and many people even consume less than two boxes a year.

Respondents’ purchase of canned food

Eating canned food is about the same as eating preservatives?

This micro-survey shows that 69.68% of the respondents rarely buy canned food, and 21.72% only buy it occasionally. At the same time, although 57.92% of the respondents believe that canned food is easy to store and suitable for hoarding at home, 32.58% of the respondents still believe that canned food "has a long shelf life and must have too many preservatives".

In fact, canned food is one of the few foods without preservatives or with the least amount of preservatives.

According to the National Food Safety Standard for the Use of Food Additives, except canned bayberry (propionic acid and its sodium salt and calcium salt are allowed to be added, the maximum dosage is 50g/kg), canned bamboo shoots, pickled vegetables, edible fungi and nuts (sulfur dioxide is allowed to be added, the maximum dosage is 0.5g/kg) and canned meat (nitrite is allowed to be added, the maximum dosage is 0.15g/kg), which requires very low dosage.

Then, cans that can be kept for 1 to 3 years or even longer at room temperature can be kept fresh by "frozen age".

Wu Xiaomeng told the reporter of China Consumer News that canned food actually protects food safety through sterilization technology and sealed storage. In most cases, food spoilage is caused by bacteria, molds and other microorganisms. Processing canned food by sterilization means such as high temperature and high pressure can kill a large number of these microorganisms. At the same time, processes such as venting and sealing can greatly reduce the oxygen content in food and containers, make some potential microorganisms in the containers grow stagnant, and block the passage of oxygen or microorganisms outside the containers into the containers, thus ensuring food safety. With the development of food processing technology, new technologies such as modified atmosphere sterilization and microwave sterilization have shorter heating time, lower energy consumption and more efficient sterilization.

Therefore, it is unnecessary to worry about too many preservatives in canned products. The "popular science" on the Internet that "eating canned food is about eating preservatives" is completely alarmist.

Canned food is not fresh and nutritious?

The survey found that among the respondents who "never bought" canned food, 52.94% thought canned food was not fresh.

Although some consumers began to consider choosing canned food that is easier to preserve because of epidemic prevention and control, hoarding goods at home and other factors, this did not change people’s understanding of its "stale".

In fact, the appearance of canned processing technology itself is to keep food fresh.

Wu Xiaomeng explained that foods such as meat and fish will rot quickly if they cannot be processed in time. If vegetables and fruits are not processed in time after picking, the nutrition will be lost continuously. Therefore, some brands with a relatively complete supply chain generally choose to adopt and make the ingredients at the mature stage with the largest output, and the whole material selection and processing process even takes less than 10 hours. Compared with the route of fresh ingredients from picking, transporting and selling to consumers’ refrigerators, there is no more nutritional loss.

Of course, some vitamins with low heat resistance will be lost in the process of canned food processing, but most nutrients will be preserved. Compared with the loss of nutrients caused by daily household processing and cooking vegetables, this loss is not more.

Sometimes, canned food may be beneficial to the maintenance of vitamins. For example, although canned tomatoes have been sterilized, most of the vitamin C content is still there when they leave the factory, and it is relatively stable. Another example is canned fish. After high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization, not only the meat quality and bones of the fish are softer, but also a large amount of calcium is dissolved out. The calcium content of a box of canned fish can even be 10 times more than that of fresh fish with the same weight, and minerals such as iron, zinc, iodine and selenium in fish meat will not be lost.

Why can’t "fat" cans be eaten?

In most cases, consumers are advised to buy products from regular manufacturers in large shopping malls or supermarkets, and judge the quality of canned food from the aspects of appearance, packaging, sensory quality, label and brand.

Wu Xiaomeng reminded that the cans of normal metal cans should have a complete shape, no deformation, no damage, no rust spots and a concave bottom cover; The center of the metal cover of the glass bottle can should be slightly concave downward, and the contents should be complete in shape, clear in soup and free of impurities when viewed through the bottle body.

What needs special reminder is that if you encounter the following situations, no matter how attractive the contents of the can are, don’t eat it.

One is canned "fat listening", that is, expanding cans. The main reason for tank expansion is that the inside of the can is polluted by microorganisms and produces gas. When these gases gather to a certain extent, the can will be deformed. Therefore, the can’s "getting fat" is a very obvious danger signal that it has gone bad.

Second, the canned packaging is leaking and moldy. In the process of storage and transportation, canned products will be deformed due to bumps and other reasons, and the seal of the can cover will leak, which will lead to the contact between the products in the can and the outside world, and microorganisms may take the opportunity to enter.

The survey found that 93.21% of the respondents had the right choice. However, about 7% of the respondents still thought that the collision caused by transportation was not a big problem and chose to buy and eat.

Wu Xiaomeng reminded that most canned meat and fruits and vegetables are not heavy, so it is recommended to eat them as much as possible after opening. If you can’t finish it, you should pour it into enamel, ceramic or plastic food containers, seal it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator and finish it as soon as possible.

As for canned sugar sauces and jams, the sugar content is generally 40%-65%. Relatively speaking, it is not easy to deteriorate after opening, but it is still not careless. If you can’t eat it all at once, you should cover the jar, or pour it into other containers and seal it with plastic wrap, and then put it in the refrigerator for preservation. Try to eat it in two or three days. In autumn and winter, it can be stored for a few more days. (Reporter Li Jian)

　　Original title: The horn of Beiping liberation blows from here.

　　Military encirclement, political struggle and peaceful liberation of Peiping have become a shining example in the history of China’s people’s liberation war, which is known as the "Peiping way".

　　As an important witness of this period of history, Wuliqiao Village, a little-known village with less than 100 households, has been recorded in history. The three peace talks from the end of 1948 to the beginning of 1949 sounded the horn of the peaceful liberation of Peiping, and the last Wuliqiao peace talks completely opened the door to the peaceful liberation of Peiping. Today, the negotiation monument of Wuliqiao for the peaceful liberation of Peiping, which is erected in Wuliqiao Park on the east side of Donggao Road in Changying Township, is still telling future generations about the military strategy and great achievements of the revolutionary ancestors in the war years.

　　Overture to peace talks:

　　Military pressure and political struggle go both ways.

　　As early as sketching out the strategic concept of the Battle of Peiping and Tianjin, the Communist Party of China (CPC) took fighting for Fu Zuoyi’s uprising as an important task, and divided it into several lines to do Fu’s work.

　　Prior to this, communist party had left a "pawn" beside Fu Zuoyi. One day in 1946, Wang Yu, alias Zhang Zhigong, was appointed by the CPC Central Committee and found Yan Youwen, an underground member of the CPC who had lost contact with the party organization for seven years.

　　At this time, Yan Youwen’s position and position in Fu Zuoyi’s army is already very high. Besides being the secretary of Fu Zuoyi, he also serves as the director of the 12th War Zone Chief Department, the deputy director of the Political Department and the president of Struggle Daily, the organ newspaper of Fu Department.

　　Yan Youwen, in accordance with the instructions of the CPC Central Committee, exerted a subtle political influence on Fu Zuoyi without being exposed for small local battlefield information.

　　In the second half of 1948, the war of liberation entered a strategic decisive battle. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China thinks that the time is ripe, and under the preparation of armed struggle, he actively strives for political victory for Fu Zuoyi.

　　On a Sunday morning in early October, 1948, the leader of the Academic Committee of the South Department of Tianjin sent someone to Qianmen East Station to stop Fu Dongju, an underground member of the Communist Party of China, who was about to get on the train and return to Tianjin, and let her work in Tianjin Ta Kung Pao return to her father.

　　After returning to Peiping, Fu Dongju was surprised to find that his father was reading Chairman Mao’s works and sketched out the key points with red and blue pens, so he often secretly put the progressive magazines and books in the liberated areas on his father’s desk. Fu Zuoyi sometimes looks through it.

　　Fu Zuoyi has many misgivings. After years of war, can communist party really accept him? If the peace talks are successful, how will the subordinates who have been risking their lives for many years be placed? Fu Dongju reported to the underground party organization one by one, and then came back to persuade Fu Zuoyi carefully according to the instructions of the party organization to dispel his doubts.

　　At the same time, the underground party Committee also used Li Bingquan, secretary of the vocational youth branch of the CPC Pingjin Committee. Li Bingquan used to be the director of the interview department of Pingming Daily, the organ newspaper of the Kuomintang’s "General Suppression" in North China, and his cousin Li Tengjiu was the major director of the liaison office of the "General Suppression" in North China in Fu Zuoyi. Li Tengjiu was pessimistic about the current situation. Under Li Bingquan’s persuasion, his doubts and precautions were completely eliminated and he promised to work in Fu Zuoyi.

　　Cui Yueli, the academic committee of the underground party, also worked with Fu Zuoyi through his teacher Liu Hou in Fu Zuoyi.

　　At the end of November, the Northeast Field Army was constantly stationed around Beiping, and Fu Zuoyi was on pins and needles in his office, and his thoughts and emotions were in extreme contradiction.

　　Fu Zuoyi’s daily expression, speech, activities, and even some subtle emotional changes, such as sighing, losing his temper, and biting matches, were promptly reported to the Peiping underground party. This plays a vital role in making timely and correct judgments and decisions for the front-line headquarters of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

　　At the beginning of December, Dongye and the Second and Third Corps of the North China Military Region of the People’s Liberation Army completed the strategic encirclement and campaign division of the enemies of Peiping, Tientsin and Zhangjiakou, and stopped the passage of Fu Zuoyi’s fleeing south and westward.

　　Fu Zuoyi felt the urgency of peace talks, so he instructed Li Tengjiu to contact communist party. The Academic Committee decided to send Li Bingquan to have secret contact with Fu Zuoyi.

　　On December 10th, 1948, Li Bingquan was invited to the Jurentang office in Zhongnanhai by Fu Zuoyi. When learning that Li Bingquan had worked in Pingming Daily, Fu Zuoyi was very surprised: It turned out that communist party people were in their own newspapers!

　　During this meeting, Fu Zuoyi finally made up his mind to negotiate, and invited Cui Zaizhi, president of Pingming Daily, as his representative, led by Li Bingquan to hold peace talks with the Chinese Communist Party. The bridge of peace talks in Beiping was quietly built.

　　The first peace talks:

　　Fu Zuoyi sent representatives to secretly leave the city.

　　On December 13, 1948, Li Bingquan secretly left the city with Cui Zaizhi and other four people. Unexpectedly, not far from the city, it was intercepted by Fu Zuoyi patrol troops, and the radio station carried by Cui Zaizhi was discovered. The reason was inconvenient, so they had to go back the same way.

　　On December 15th, Li Bingquan, Cui Zaizhi and others secretly left the city again, and Cui Zaizhi gave up the radio station. Only then did he take a bus, tricycle and walk all the way and finally reached the front position of the People’s Liberation Army. However, they didn’t meet with the people who came to the joint from the City Ministry of Industry, so Li Bingquan had to ask the passing troops to send them to the headquarters as "prisoners".

　　After several twists and turns, Li Bingquan and Cui Zai and his party finally came to Balizhuang, not far from Mengjialou, Jixian County, where the People’s Liberation Army’s Pingjin Frontier Command was stationed. Su Jing, Director of Staff Office of Northeast Field Army Command, is responsible for the reception. Su Jing recalled that it used to be a landlord’s mansion in the village. It was in the middle of winter and the weather was cold. The two sides simply sat on the kang or surrounded the fire, and chatting casually was like chatting. But both sides are very clear in their hearts and their purpose is also very clear-to understand each other’s true intentions.

　　For this negotiation, the PLA is also strictly confidential. A telegram in the Beijing Archives reads: "He, Chen, Yang and He: (1) I hope that you will send troops to send representatives of Fu Zuoyi to Sanhe via the north of Beiping to negotiate with us. (2) I hope that you will not disclose this matter to the troops, so as not to relax the combat preparation. The escort troops must keep secrets along the way, and the escorted commanders and soldiers should not know about it, so as to avoid the occurrence of individual soldiers fleeing and revealing secrets." The signature is "Lin, Luo and Liu".

　　"He, Chen, Yang and He" are the heads of the 11th column of the Northeast Field Army, namely He Jinnian, Chen Renqi, Yang Chunfu and He Tingyi, and "Lin, Luo and Liu" are the leaders of the Beijing-Tianjin Front Command, namely Lin Biao, Luo Ronghuan and Liu Yalou. Lin Biao, Luo Ronghuan and Liu Yalou telegraphed the matter to the Central Committee while arranging reception for their subordinates.

　　The Central Military Commission immediately called back and gave clear instructions on the principle of this negotiation, that is, "fighting for the enemy to lay down their weapons is the basic principle."

　　On December 19th, Liu Yalou, Chief of Staff of the Beijing-Tianjin Front Command, started formal negotiations with Cui Zaizhi. After the exchange of views between the two sides, due to the great gap in conditions, no results were obtained.

　　The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had anticipated the outcome of the negotiations. At 16: 00 on the 16th, the Central Military Commission pointed out in the telegram to Lin, Luo and Liu, "This is only a tentative action. If Fu is sincere in negotiating, he will be represented."

　　The second peace talks:

　　Both parties initialled the minutes of the meeting.

　　As expected by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, after a lapse of half a month, Fu Zuoyi sent a negotiator for the second time-Zhou Beifeng, Director of the Civil Affairs Department of Major General "Suppression General" in North China. Zhou Beifeng, a fellow countryman of Fu, has repeatedly contacted the Communist Party of China on behalf of Fu. He was accompanied by Professor yenching university and Zhang Dongsun, vice chairman of the Democratic League. Because of the trust of both sides, he acted as a third-party representative of the peace talks to mediate.

　　Great changes have taken place in the battlefield situation in North China during the two negotiations. On December 22nd, the 35th Army, the main force of Fu Zuoyi’s clique, was wiped out in the new security area, and on the 23rd, the defenders of Zhangjiakou were wiped out. The battle between the new security guards and Zhangjiakou cut off Fu Zuoyi’s westward escape, which also gave him a great spiritual blow.

　　The time is ripe for the peaceful liberation of Peiping.

　　At this time, an episode happened. On December 25th, the Communist Party of China (CPC) published a list of 43 top war criminals in the Kuomintang army, and Fu Zuoyi was the 31st. Fu Zuoyi was very angry, pessimistic and disappointed.

　　On New Year’s Day, 1949, Mao Zedong telegraphed six opinions on Lin Biao’s Pingjin peace talks, put forward our principled position and policy, and showed our sincerity in peacefully solving the Pingjin issue. He also mentioned that Fu was listed as a war criminal, so that he could make a fuss and peacefully liberate Peiping, and we had reason to pardon his war crimes. This is tantamount to giving Fu Zuoyi a prescription for the disease.

　　Li Bingquan was ordered to recite six opinions in 450 words, and returned to Peiping to report to Fu Zuoyi. Fu Zuoyi was relieved after hearing this, and his mood improved greatly.

　　On the morning of January 6, 1949, Zhou Beifeng came to Zhang Dongsun’s house. Cui Yueli told them that the contact code was "Looking for Wang Dong" and asked Zhang Dongsun’s son to take a piece of white cloth and sew it on a stick: "Shake this flag when crossing the line of fire!" When they passed through the frontier trench, they met the PLA soldiers, so they shook the small white flag and were taken to the command post by the soldiers. They were successfully escorted to Balizhuang the next afternoon. On the morning of the 8th and 9th, they held the second negotiation with the leaders of the Beijing-Tianjin Front Command, including Lin Biao, Nie Rongzhen, Luo Ronghuan and Liu Yalou.

　　The Chinese Communist Party put forward a plan to reorganize the Kuomintang army, and let bygones be bygones for Fu Zuoyi and other insurgents. Great progress has been made in the negotiations, and the two sides initialled the minutes of the talks, and agreed on January 14 as the deadline for Fu’s reply.

　　At this time, Fu Zuoyi has not yet made up its mind. During the negotiations, it will continue to build two temporary airports, the Temple of Heaven and Dongdan. The underground comrades in the city provided information in time, and the liberation army blocked the airport with artillery fire.

　　The third peace talks:

　　Don’t talk about Tianjin, just talk about Beiping

　　In the early morning of January 12, 1949, a team of PLA men came to Wuliqiao Village (later placed in Chaoyang District), a small village with less than 100 households in Tongxian County. They rearranged the indoor and outdoor furnishings of the Zhangjia Courtyard in the village, and invited a chef from the "Dongxingju" restaurant. Suddenly, the small village became lively. People are talking about it, guessing that there may be a big shot here!

　　Because the cadres kept secrets, it was not until after the peaceful liberation of Beiping that people realized that it was representatives of communist party and Fu Zuoyi who came here at that time. The agreement for the peaceful liberation of Peiping was reached here. It turned out that the Beijing-Tianjin Front Command was moved to Songzhuang, Tongxian County, so the third negotiation place was moved to Wuliqiao.

　　On the afternoon of January 14th, as the plenipotentiary of Fu Zuoyi, Deng Baoshan, deputy commander-in-chief of North China "Suppression General", and Zhou Beifeng, director of the Civil Affairs Department, and other four people went out of the city to the Zhangjia Courtyard in Wuliqiao Village. Lin Biao, Luo Ronghuan and Nie Rongzhen, leaders of the Beijing-Tianjin Front Command, greeted them at the door.

　　On the same day, the People’s Liberation Army began to storm Tianjin, shaking the mountain and shaking the tiger.

　　As soon as they met, Nie Rongzhen came straight to the point and said: The last negotiation stipulated that midnight on 14th was the deadline for reply, and now there are only a few hours left. Today, we have given the order to attack Tianjin, and this time we will not include Tianjin, but only talk about Peiping.

　　After 29 hours of fierce fighting, the PLA wiped out 130,000 Tianjin Kuomintang troops. After Tianjin was conquered, Beiping became an isolated city, with more than 200,000 enemy troops on the defensive completely surrounded by the People’s Liberation Army, and Fu Zuoyi had no bargaining chip.

　　On the morning of January 15th, the negotiation officially started, which lasted until late at night and progressed smoothly. On the same day, the two sides reached a preliminary agreement on the reorganization plan of the Kuomintang troops in Beiping leaving the designated place outside the city, the arrangement principle of the "suppression general" in North China and the officers above the regiment level, and the reception method of the Kuomintang military and political institutions in Beiping.

　　On January 19th, according to the agreement signed in Wuliqiao, the representatives of both parties made it specific one by one, and added the text of the agreement to 18 articles and Annex 4, a total of 22 articles, which were submitted to President the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and President Mao Zedong for revision as a formal agreement. On the 21st, Su Jing, the representative of the People’s Liberation Army’s Beijing-Tianjin Front Command, and Wang Kejun and Cui Zaizhi, the representatives of Fu Zuoyi, respectively signed the Agreement on Peaceful Settlement of Problems in Peiping. 22, Fu Zuoyi signed the agreement, and delivered a radio address, officially announced the terms of the implementation agreement for the peaceful liberation of Peiping.

　　Follow-up to the peace talks:

　　Don’t disturb the masses to postpone entering the city for two days during the New Year.

　　The People’s Liberation Army originally planned to enter Beiping for defense on January 29, 1949, but considering that this day was the first day of the first lunar month, it was decided to postpone it for two days in order not to disturb the citizens of Beiping for the New Year. On January 31, the People’s Liberation Army entered the city to take over the defense, and Beiping declared peaceful liberation.

　　From 10: 00 a.m. on February 3, the People’s Liberation Army held a grand ceremony to enter Beiping. Although it was freezing, the streets and alleys were crowded with people, and the citizens of Beiping held flags and shouted slogans to welcome the PLA into the city.

　　After entering the city, the cadres and soldiers of the 41 ST Army strictly abide by the "three major disciplines" and "eight attentions". In the middle of winter, there was no fire in the room and no hay on the shop on the drafty tower all around, and the north wind blew "cold". The nearby people invited the soldiers to warm themselves at home many times, but the soldiers insisted on not entering the houses and not disturbing the masses. On the night when the "Changling Company" of the 121st Division arrived at the station, the enthusiastic fellow villagers invited the soldiers into the house to live, but they declined. In the middle of the night, the north wind roared, and the masses "combined their houses and beds" to vacate several rooms for the soldiers to live in, and the soldiers politely declined the third invitation from the masses. The story of "three invitations and three no entry" spread like this.

　　Wuliqiao negotiation has an important historical position in the history of Pingjin Campaign and even the whole China People’s Liberation War. A basic agreement was reached through negotiations to realize the peaceful liberation of Beiping, which saved the historic city of Beijing from the scourge of war and the 2 million people of Beiping from the flames of war, laying the foundation for the establishment and construction of the new capital of China.

　　The "Peiping Way" has become an example for all battlefields to learn and follow. On April 29, 1949, Datong was peacefully liberated; On June 1, Yulin was peacefully liberated; On August 4, Changsha was peacefully liberated; On September 25th, Xinjiang was peacefully liberated … This way accelerated the process of national liberation.

My friend Theo is an eccentric person. He always studies some particularly obscure knowledge. Once, I heard that he bought a title in an online shop in a country.

Theo: I’m Theo, from the north of China, and now I live overseas.

At that time, it was 2014, and only three titles were sold: one was called Lord, which is generally translated as "Lord" in our country; One is Baron, or "Baron"; There is also a man named Count, that is, the Earl.

At that time, I was surprised: this kind of thing can still be bought? As a Chinese, the word that comes to mind is "selling officials and titles".

I picked and chose, and felt that Lord (Lord or Lord) was a little low in status and Count was a little expensive. So I decided and bought the title of Baron.

■ Theo title certificate bought by Theo.

What kind of country is it that actually sells titles on the Internet? This aroused my strong curiosity.

Baron Theo told me that the name of this country is the Principality of Ceylon, so I went to Google. The moment I saw the photo, I was shocked.

Theo: The Principality of Sealand is located on the sea in the southeast of England. It was founded on a British naval fortress during World War II. Its founder was Roy Bates, who declared the sovereignty of this place.

From the photos, it seems that saying it is a "fortress at sea" is a bit flattering. I think it’s like two huge concrete pillars supporting an iron plate, and the area of this iron plate is not much larger than that of a basketball court.

But let’s call it a fortress for the time being, because people used to be a fortress. During World War II, Germany often sent bombers to bomb London. At that time, the plane didn’t have a GPS positioning system, so how did the Germans find London?

-just by the naked eye. The pilot first found the mouth of the Thames, then went up the Thames and found London.

When the British see it, since you always come to the mouth of the Thames, I’ll just build some anti-aircraft guns at the mouth of the Thames and wait for you to come.

So Britain bombed and sank several berthed ships at that time, built a fortress on each sunken ship and set up anti-aircraft guns on it.

■ Fort at sea

But after World War II, the battery was demolished, leaving only one deck and abandoned at sea.

Among them, the deck called "Stormy Castle" was spotted by Roy Bates in the 1960s.

Theo: Roy Bates believes that since this place used to be a base and was in the sea, not only did Britain not declare it as its territory, but no country declared its occupation right, then it was an ownerless territory. Theoretically, the ownerless territory is the sovereign owner who occupies it first.

So he found a group of people, rented a boat, arrived at the sea fortress and occupied it. He announced the establishment of the "Principality of Ceylon" and designed his own national flag and emblem. He also established a national motto: E mare libertas (Latin: freedom comes from the sea), and even wrote the constitution of the Principality of Siland.

Knowing this, I am still a little confused. Find an unwanted deck at sea and you can build a country? Can the founding of the country be so casual? Moreover, this is on the coast of Britain. How can the British government tolerate such treason? How did the Principality of Sealand exist today? I am very curious and especially want to interview them.

But I did a little research and found that Roy Bates died in 2012 and his wife died in 2016. The current monarch is Prince Michael Bates (Michael Bates). I sent an email to the prince with a try attitude. I didn’t expect the prince to reply soon and accepted my interview with pleasure.

This makes me a little nervous, after all, it is the first time in my life to interview the head of state.

Just to be clear, considering that many listeners may have a little trouble listening to English, I asked Peng Han to give Prince Michael a voice.

-1-

Say hello to the prince

Edgar: Should I call you Your Highness, Prince Michael, or Michael?

Michael: Brother, just Michael. It’s no big problem. You can call me whatever you want, but you have to bear the consequences, you know.

The prince is very approachable, and he is quite joking. Is his last sentence a joke? )

The prince introduced me to the historical background. It turned out that his father had occupied other fortresses before "Nu Tao Bao".

The history of pirate radio

Michael: Before that, my father built a radio station on another fort called pirate radio. Because in Britain at that time, if people wanted to listen to songs on the radio, they had to listen to the BBC. On the other hand, the BBC only arranges an hour for children to play pop songs (such as Top 20 charts) at around 6 pm every Sunday.

At that time, there was a great demand for pop music, and the BBC broadcast time was too short, so some people moved radio stations to ships and decks-places where they could broadcast in the sea three miles away from the shore, and broadcast pop songs to the whole UK. Because according to the British law at that time, the government had no right to manage these radio stations more than three miles offshore.

These radio stations are so popular that they can even sell advertising space to make money. Later, the British government amended the law and declared these pirate radio illegal. So my dad found a new place-here now.

declare independence

Michael: On September 2, 1967, on my mother’s birthday, my father made my mother a princess in a very romantic way, and then declared independence here.

■ Old Bates and his wife Joan raised the flag of the Principality of Silan for the first time.

Michael’s father Roy actually consulted a lawyer before doing this, and the lawyer told him directly that you can’t do this.

Roy asked him, why not?

Michael: The lawyer said to my father, I don’t know why you can’t do this, but you really can’t.

My father still refuses to accept, "Why not?"

The lawyer said, "They will put you in a prison in London, convict you of treason, and then cut off your head.". (Laughter)

However, my father finally did it.

Seeing that someone dares to make independence when they occupy a platform, the British government is in a hurry: what if someone else follows suit? It seems that something must be done.

Michael: At that time, there was another fortress. After the British government sent a boat to blow it up, it passed us and warned that "you are next".

However, things didn’t develop like that.

Have a conflict with my father’s friend

As we all know, there are few peaceful and independent countries in history. Usually accompanied by war. Although the principality of Silan is small, local conflicts to defend the country have been constant.

The first opponent the Bates family met was Roy Bates’ partner. Because the two of them originally occupied this platform together to run pirate radio, but Roy Bates actually abandoned his partner and became king on his own. The partners are very dissatisfied.

Michael: When we came here, there was actually another pirate radio family here. We drove them away by non-violent means. But then these people came back and attacked seven or eight times.

I was 14 years old. I made a shotgun out of a steel pipe, searched for materials on the deck, pieced together incendiary bottles, and ran around the ship, looking for cover to launch an attack … Now I think about it, these experiences are quite interesting.

■ Michael and Old Bates as children.

First clash with the police

It is not enough to repel the partners, and the British government has not given up its attempt to overthrow Bates’ regime. Once, while old Bates was away, a naval ship came to Fort Nu Tao.

Michael: Once, they sent a navy ship here with two policemen besides the navy. At first we thought it was an ordinary policeman, but later we found out it was a military police.

They offered to talk to us on the deck, so we threw a rope down as a rope ladder.

I was young at that time, facing the police, so I trusted them. I said, "Don’t come up, I’ll go down. My mother stayed on it. "

One of the policemen said to me, "Your father has sold us this fortress. We’ll send two marines up, so you don’t have to come down. "

I was a little skeptical when I heard it. So I came down and asked me to see my dad before I could let them go up.

But they said that they must go up anyway.

At this time, they found that it was too dark under the deck to stop the ship. So I offered to help them stop the boat.

But the captain was a little anxious, and with a wave of his hand, he said, "Stop sailing! You two go straight up! 」

The two policemen were ordered to climb the rope ladder at once.

If the rope ladder is put on the boat, it is no different from the general ladder and is easier to climb; But this rope ladder is hanging, so it is not easy to climb, and it has to be clever. In a word, the "James Bond" sent by these two governments climbed no more than one meter and gave up.

I was a little nervous, so I started to walk next to the rope ladder and said to the captain, "Brother, I have to go up. 」

Hearing this, the captain immediately ordered the navy soldiers to climb the rope ladder.

As soon as I saw this posture, I immediately shouted at my mother, "Mom, if they climb up, you can shoot them!" When my mother heard this, she immediately took out an automatic pistol.

When the captain saw it, he waved his hand again: "Navy! Get off the rope ladder! 」

At this moment, I felt that if I didn’t leave again, I might not be able to walk away, so I walked to the rope ladder carelessly and climbed up quickly.

In retrospect, this thing is quite interesting. Even later, the captain shouted at my mother, "I want to get your son a job in the navy. Let him be a navy!" "(Laughter)

Store materials for six months

It is not easy to defend the territory. Apart from external troubles, there are also internal worries. Think about it, living on the sea 10 kilometers away from the coast, without water, electricity and food. The Bates family must ensure that there is always a six-month material reserve on this platform. All materials have to be shipped from land, which is quite expensive.

So they also studied how to fish by reading books and made use of all kinds of resources they could find to survive on it.

In 1968, a British naval patrol boat entered the territory of the Principality of Sealand. Old Bates and Michael fired warning shots at them and threw incendiary bottles at the boat. As a result, they were later ordered to stand trial by a British court.

But in the end, the court declared that they had no right to intervene in the incident because it happened outside British territorial waters.

This case demonstrates Britain’s non-intervention attitude towards the Principality of Sealand, which allowed the Bates family to spend the next nine years peacefully.

Until a sunny morning in August 1987.

coup

Michael: At that time, my dad was talking about business in Salzburg, Austria. He planned to build a leisure island, but it hasn’t been done yet. So I stayed alone in the principality of Ceylon.

Suddenly, a huge Dutch Airlines helicopter flew in with a cameraman holding a camera on the door. They couldn’t land because there was a flagpole under us, so they hung two people down with a rope.

Seeing the man hanging from the rope, Michael began to understand what was going on.

Over the years, old Bates has conferred some titles on officials. In fact, they are all friends or partners, half-jokingly conferring titles. Among them, a foreign minister was appointed. He was a West German named Alexander Achenbach. This time, old Bates went to Austria to talk business, which was fooled by this foreign minister.

But he was tricked by the foreign secretary. After the foreign minister cheated him away, he sent several German and Dutch mercenaries to take the opportunity to occupy the Principality of Sealand. Therefore, this is an out-and-out coup.

Why did Michael begin to understand at this time? Because one of the people who got off the helicopter was Winfred Brings, who was the attendant of the Foreign Minister.

Michael: To make a long story short, after an operation, I was put in a very airtight iron room with only two windows for four days.

The next morning, the gang gave me three choices, either to stay in this iron house; Either follow the fishing boat, they will send me to London; Or send me to the Netherlands-look at this posture, our country has been controlled.

At that time, I thought, if my dad didn’t know the situation here and came back from Austria, wouldn’t he die?

So I chose to go to England. As a result, the captain of the Dutch fishing boat said that he would not go to England for the time being. So I said, Holland can do it.

After several twists and turns, I returned to London from Holland. By the way, when I flew back to England from Holland, I didn’t bring my passport with me, but I found a big brother to help me with it.

Back in London, I finally met my dad. He didn’t know exactly what happened, but he felt something was wrong. So after we met, we began to discuss how to take back our country.

We had a rubber inflatable boat at that time, so we thought about making a fire escape and putting it on the boat. After we drove past, we rushed up with the ladder, just like soldiers attacked the castle in the Middle Ages.

I called a good friend, who is the owner of a helicopter company. We have a very good relationship and used to go to his house for dinner.

This guy is very unusual. He has participated in several James Bond movies, such as flying a helicopter indoors. He is very professional. I asked him for help, and he said, "OK, Lao Tie, no problem. 」

We’ll buy ropes, think of various ways and do all kinds of research. Because there was no movie like Black Hawk Down at that time, we had never seen the picture of people sliding down from helicopters, so we all figured it out by ourselves …

Old Bates called a few more friends, plus his son, to form a five-person action team.

By the way, old Bates fought in North Africa, Italy, Iraq and Lebanon during World War II. He was a brave and hard-core veteran. Therefore, this kind of offensive and defensive warfare has not been played less. For him, retaking the Principality of Sealand is a small case.

Michael: In a word, we were fully prepared. We went to the airport at three o’clock in the morning and tied the rope to the seat. My dad is sitting opposite me, wearing a helmet, where he can talk to the captain. We flew over.

Later, a man who was on the deck of the Principality of Silan described to us that he saw the helicopter flying from the ground, and my father and I grabbed the rope on the doors on both sides, which looked cool.

At that time, the captain agreed with us that when the plane was pulled up, we would let go and jump, because he had to keep flying and avoid obstacles.

I had planned to fold the middle mast after landing so that the helicopter could land. But after landing, I thought that the Germans would definitely run out of the house. So I ran across the tarmac, grabbed my shotgun and rushed to the door. As soon as I saw someone running out, I slammed it with the butt of my gun.

Brother, this is the battle of Westland.

Without causing casualties, Bates’ team easily captured the Principality of Silan, and later they released most of the prisoners. Only a German lawyer named Herr Putz was left, because he held a passport of the Principality of Siland. Old Bates thought he had committed treason. It is reasonable to say that it can be shot.

■ Prisoners caught after the coup

Michael: We don’t know the background of this man, but the Germans seem to have the habit of invading other people’s territory.

Later, when the West German government heard that one of its nationals was detained, it quickly contacted the British government and said that it was on the British coast, so you should take care of it. The British government quoted the court case in 1968, saying that Sealand was not within our jurisdiction and we could not control this.

The west german government had no choice but to send a diplomat to mediate.

-8-

"indirectly recognized" by the German government.

Michael: Later, the German ambassador to Britain arrived at South London Airport and took a helicopter with my mother at his own expense to the Principality of Siland.

Before taking off, my mother asked him to be searched. He was so angry that he waved his diplomatic passport and refused to agree.

After some pulling, he finally agreed to search him. But my mother found a new problem at this moment: who will search him?

She looked around and found two handsome young policemen at the airport. So she ran over and asked politely, "Excuse me, young man, can you search this diplomat for me? 」

It’s also interesting to recall. (Laughter)

When he got to the Principality of Ceylon and got off the plane, we searched him again.

He was mad with anger. "What are you searching for? 」

We replied, "Search for weapons. 」

He said, "Don’t you all have weapons? 」

So I went back and said, "If you had managed your people well, none of this would have happened, right? 」

Later, we had a negotiation, but he didn’t take the prisoner away as he wished.

But that negotiation meant a lot to us. Brother, a German diplomat negotiated with us, which means that the German government indirectly recognizes the existence of the Principality of Silan.

After all, the appearance of West German diplomats represents the first time that the Principality of Silan is on an equal footing with sovereign countries, which is a milestone. The Bates were so happy that they released the German lawyer soon afterwards. This coup ended.

By way of digression, the German lawyer and the foreign minister Achenbach later set up a government in exile in Germany. The government in exile is also good at doing business. They sold many passports of the Principality of Ceylon, which were later involved in some international crimes. In 1997, the Bates family simply declared all passports of the Principality of Sealand invalid.

As mentioned earlier, in 2012, old Bates died, and in 2016, Michael’s mother died. Michael succeeded to the throne and became the monarch of the principality of Ceylon. Until today.

Princess sealand

But after so many years, what good is it to go through all kinds of hardships just to keep an iron plate?

I don’t know anything else. I only know that this is very helpful for "chasing girls."

Shi Dongmei: My name is Shi Dongmei, and now my name is Dong Mei Bates.

I’m 49 years old. I’m Michael’s wife. After I got married, my name was "Princess Ceylon".

Yes, the princess is Chinese. It’s called … What winter plum? Yes, Dongmei Bates, married with the chicken, married with the husband’s surname. However, considering our understanding habits of Chinese, we still call her by her real name, Shi Dongmei.

Shi Dongmei went to England in 1999 and worked in a casino near Chinatown in London. Then I met Michael on the dating website. But because Shi Dongmei’s work is very busy, they have never had a chance to meet.

Shi Dongmei: Michael once gave a radio interview to the BBC. He said that after the interview, he would come to see me at my workplace. I was so busy that day that I almost forgot. When I was free, we sat together and chatted, and he told me his story.

As soon as we met, Michael told Shi Dongmei that I really wanted to associate with you. I am a prince, and my country is called the Principality of Ceylon.

Shi Dongmei: He said that he was writing a book, Hollywood was going to make his film, and so on.

I looked at him for a long time, puzzled, and didn’t understand what this man was saying. I even thought he was joking with me, and I felt like a bird in the sky.

Later, I found out that he read my information on LinkedIn website. When I got home, I also went online to check his information, and I gradually learned about his stories.

Shi Dongmei and Michael met in 2016. Less than a year later, Michael proposed to Shi Dongmei. Shi Dongmei became a happy Dongmei Bates.

Shi Dongmei: I have a similar background to him. Because I was a soldier at the age of 13, and when he was 13, he was taken to the Principality of Silan by his father, so we hit it off, we both have stories and a lot in common.

Now, as soon as my friends see me, they joke about "seeing the princess". I am speechless, but it is also quite fun.

■ Prince Michael and Princess Sealand are attending a beauty contest.

The Princess’s Two Visits to the Principality of Ceylon

Shi Dongmei: I have been to the Principality of Ceylon twice. Last year, the Daily Mail was going there for an interview, so I followed.

We went there by boat and were very excited. Because when we went up, we were hung up with something similar to a hanging basket, so it was very exciting.

When I first went there, I had just finished the August 1st Army Day. In Britain, we have a comrades-in-arms association composed of retired China soldiers, and I am the president. At that time, we had just held an activity, and there were many red flags. I insisted on taking the five-star red flag to take pictures, which is quite interesting to recall now.

In addition to catching up with girls, of course, another advantage of establishing a country is that, as mentioned at the beginning, you can make money by selling titles.

-11-

Idea selling knighthood

Michael: I thought about this before the internet age. It was not an easy thing at that time.

At that time, I saw the king of France in the 13th century. Because he was short of money for the war, he publicly sold his title to finance the war.

So I thought, our country doesn’t have any natural resources, and it has always been short of money. Why don’t you try it? Unexpectedly, the response was so enthusiastic.

I went to official website, the principality of Ceylon, and looked at their store. Shopping was quite convenient, and even Alipay supported it.

The most expensive earl title in the store now sells for 499.99. It is not cheap. My friend Theo bought the title of Baron, which is only 29.99, which is much more cost-effective.

But I think the most cost-effective thing is that you can buy a square foot of land for 19.99, which is much cheaper than Beijing’s house price.

I asked Michael how many titles he sold and how much money he earned after selling them for so many years. But he said he couldn’t tell me. It seems that the business is quite good, otherwise it would not be kept secret.

Moreover, Michael has signed a Hollywood film contract, and the copyright is estimated to have sold a lot of money.

Interesting things about other micro-countries

In addition to the Principality of Ceylon, there are actually many tiny countries that are self-reliant in this world. They are generally called micro-countries, or private countries. For these countries, my friend Theo has also done a little research.

Theo: There are many micro-countries in the United States, and some towns in Australia, with the support of the local government, announced the establishment of the "XX Kingdom" in order to develop tourism. The mayor also formally established himself as "King XX" and held grand ceremonies in local churches and town halls.

There are also some micro-countries, such as Italy, which has a micro-country called "Principality of Cyberport".

The villagers in this place found that their land had no lords after a certain year, which means that they don’t belong to any country now. So they declared their independence and established the Principality of Cyberport.

These private countries have also held several summits, such as the World Private Countries Conference. They will wear their own formal clothes and go to meetings, where they will establish diplomatic relations and sign various agreements.

Before that, some people wanted to establish the world’s first private space country. They made a website where people can become its citizens by signing up.

There is also a network private country, which is a network country based on all cyberspace and territorial disputes between countries.

There is another interesting story about private countries.

In the United States, there was a girl whose biggest dream was to be a princess, so her father searched online and found that there was a territory between Egypt and Sudan that was unoccupied. So he went there, announced the occupation of this territory and established the Kingdom of North Sudan. In this way, his daughter became a princess-the princess of northern Sudan.

■ Private National Summit

The existence of these private countries has actually added a lot of fun to the world. Like Theo, life has become colorful since he bought that title.

Theo: At that time, Game of Thrones was still a hit, and the Prime Minister was called "the hand of the king". I followed this example and made one of my friends my "Baron’s Hand", another my "Treasurer" and another my "Commander of the Army".

I bought a 1:1 replica of the sword used by the wizard Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings on the Internet, and used this sword to canonize the three of them.

I also bought a photo frame, mounted my knighthood certificate in it and kept it in the most conspicuous place in the living room. Everyone who comes to visit will run to see it and ask me curiously, "What is this?". I will give them a good introduction.

Now no matter where I go, I will take my folder and title certificate with me, because it is also my "property".

-13-

Succession of offspring

Prince Michael now lives with his family on land, 40 miles away from London by the sea. Their family is engaged in fishing business, mainly fishing and processing clams. The affairs of the Principality of Sealand are now mainly represented by sons.

Michael: I’m basically semi-retired now, and my son is taking care of everything. I have two sons, Prince Liam and Prince James, who are all involved, and my grandchildren Harry and Freddie, who I believe will take over in the future.

Many countries were born in history, and many countries died out. My wife and I got engaged in a restaurant on Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai. At that time, I thought that when the Principality of Ceylon declared its independence, Dubai was not on the map, and the United Arab Emirates was not yet born.

* The national anthem of the Principality of Ceylon is played here (32’35”) in the audio.

After listening to today’s program, if you are moved, you also went to the Principality of Silan to buy a title, which can be indicated from the story FM. This way, if the prince is happy, maybe he can give me an official position.

Read the original text

　　[Editor’s note]

　　Another year of college entrance examination. The annual national unified college entrance examination is coming.

　　There are still two days before the 2023 college entrance examination. How to kick the final "one foot at the door"? Shanghai’s famous teachers have given many clever tricks to the candidates through The Paper.

　　You and I are both dark horses. May the candidates be full of passion and fighting spirit, live up to their youth and sail by dreams.

　　When candidates are nervous about preparing for the exam, their parents may be more nervous than candidates, hoping to be perfect in diet. How to prepare a reasonable diet for children and how to avoid dietary misunderstandings has become a difficult problem for many parents.

　　Ji Yuping, an advanced individual in health work in Shanghai and a health care teacher in Shanghai Gaojing No.1 Middle School, said that during the sprint of college entrance examination review, candidates need to consume a lot of energy in preparing for the exam, which is naturally inseparable from reasonable nutrition and diet every day. Good physical condition is the basis for candidates to get good grades, and a reasonable nutritious diet can effectively help candidates maintain a good learning state.

　　Ji Yuping reminded parents that nutrition, like knowledge, depends on the usual accumulation. It is not that the more good things you eat, the better. The principle of arranging meals should be nutrition, comprehensiveness, moderation and balance. As long as the diet is healthy and balanced, the food you usually eat already contains various nutrients needed by the human body, so it is not recommended to supplement health care products.

　　Five "Taboos" of Diet before Exam

　　There are still two days to go before the college entrance examination. Ji Yuping summed up five "taboos" of the college entrance examination, especially the diet before the exam.

　　1. Avoid big changes in recipes before exams.

　　Before the exam, don’t deliberately increase your diet too much, and don’t make too much changes during the exam. You should be consistent with usual. In addition, eat foods that you usually eat less carefully to avoid food allergies and intolerance. Don’t eat low-sugar and diuretic fruits before the exam.

　　2. diet is the most taboo to reduce staple food

　　Candidates’ diet should first ensure the intake of staple food, which is rich in carbohydrates. 50%-65% of the energy needed by the human body should be provided by carbohydrates in food. People who don’t eat staple food will not only feel hungry, but also affect the thinking ability of the brain.

　　3. Food should be cold and unsanitary.

　　Don’t buy things to eat in street stalls, and don’t eat or eat less cold drinks. In hot weather, parents can prepare mung bean soup, boiled water or fresh fruit at home for their children to quench their thirst. Do not eat or eat less raw and cold food such as sashimi or cold salad before the exam, and pay attention to food hygiene before eating, so as not to cause gastrointestinal diseases.

　　4. Don’t talk too much about exam topics when eating.

　　When the examinee has a meal, parents can take the initiative to talk about some pleasant topics and create a relaxed dining atmosphere, which is helpful for the secretion of digestive juice and the digestion of food.

　　5. avoid dinner before the exam

　　Recently, the number of infected people in COVID-19 has increased, so we don’t have dinner or eat in crowded places to avoid re-infection and affect the performance of the exam. Eating too much is not easy to digest, and it is mainly light before the college entrance examination.

　　So how to eat better for candidates, Ji Yuping also gave a more suitable "college entrance examination recipe".

　　Two days before the college entrance examination, especially three days before the college entrance examination, three meals a day are arranged in this way, which is nutritious and educational: a normal diet is the best tonic, and it is necessary to match the staple food with coarse and fine grain; Non-staple food, mixed with meat and vegetables. And "eat well early, eat well at noon and eat skillfully at night" is a simple but practical key to eating.

　　Eating well at breakfast helps to refresh the mind.

　　Breakfast is the basis of diet to ensure energy throughout the morning. A good breakfast should include: sweet potatoes, milk or dairy products, animal food, fresh vegetables or fruits.

　　Porridge, noodles, jiaozi and other staple foods are rich in carbohydrates, which can provide energy for the brain to use quickly, so that candidates can have a full spirit in the morning. Fried dough sticks, hemp balls, pancakes, etc. are not easy to digest because they contain a lot of fat. It is recommended to eat as little as possible for breakfast.

　　In addition, you should eat a proper amount of high-quality protein foods, such as lean slices, eggs, milk, etc. Those who are intolerant of milk and dairy products can be replaced by high-quality vegetable protein soybean products such as soybean milk and tofu brain. High-quality protein foods can not only supplement essential amino acids, increase satiety, but also prevent hypoglycemia before lunch.

　　Eating enough at lunch helps to improve intelligence.

　　Lunch is the most important meal in a day. Whether candidates can get nutritional supplements for their intense study and exams in the morning and get nutritional preparations for their hard work in the afternoon depends on lunch. On the basis of meeting children’s tastes, lunch should ensure sufficient calories and various nutrients.

　　First of all, the staple food should be sufficient to ensure the continuous supply of energy and maintain the balance between energy consumption and supply in brain tissue.

　　Secondly, high-quality proteins should be supplemented. Foods can be selected such as fish, shrimp, eggs, milk, chicken and lean meat, especially deep-sea fish, which are rich in EPA and DHA. Lecithin in EPA, DHA and egg yolk can protect eyesight, improve cerebral cortex function and enhance memory.

　　Third, we should pay attention to supplementing other nutrients, such as B vitamins, vitamin C and minerals such as calcium and zinc, among which vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron in food and increase the utilization of oxygen in brain tissue; Adequate calcium can inhibit the abnormal excitement of cranial nerve and peripheral nervous system activities, calm and prevent mania.

　　Among them, fruits rich in vitamin C such as strawberries, cherries, kiwis, apples, oranges, etc. and fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, cauliflower, bitter gourd, green leafy vegetables, etc. Foods rich in calcium include shrimp, black sesame, black fungus, milk, shepherd’s purse, amaranth, rape and so on.

　　Eating at dinner helps soothe the nerves.

　　For dinner, you should make some foods that are easy to digest and moderate in calories. The staple food should not be overeated. The dishes can be bean products, lean meat, fish, fungi and vegetables.

　　When children feel tired, they can add some peanuts, cashews and walnuts, which are rich in B vitamins, vitamin E and protein, and help to restore energy. After a whole day’s review and examination, your eyes are easy to get tired. You should eat some carrots, animal livers, dark green or red, yellow and orange vegetables, etc. These foods are rich in vitamin A, which is conducive to maintaining normal vision.
