As a pioneer of Changan Automobile’s own brand, it is not only the first production line capable of controlling steel and aluminum mixed materials, but also shows extraordinary flexibility to easily cope with the production challenges of various materials such as steel and aluminum plates.

In order to ensure the excellent quality of stamped parts, the workshop introduced an innovative "online AI quality inspection + offline quality inspection" dual inspection system at the end of the stamping process. This system relies on advanced AI quality inspection algorithms deployed in the cloud, combined with industrial cameras trained by precision machine vision, to achieve all-round quality inspection and information recording of products in just one second, which greatly improves the inspection efficiency. At the same time, the application of edge algorithms is even more icing on the cake. It monitors hundreds of key quality control points in real time, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of inspection, jointly promoting the automation process of the quality inspection process, and significantly improving the accuracy of quality inspection results.

After a comprehensive upgrade, the level of automation in the welding workshop has jumped to an unprecedented level, with more than 95% of the operation process being automated. In the workshop, 185 precision welding stations and 471 high-efficiency automated robots are distributed in an orderly manner. They work together, which not only significantly improves the precision of welding operations, but also further enhances the robustness of the body structure through the extensive use of innovative aluminum alloy riveting processes.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that in the pursuit of the ultimate strength of the body’s sidewall, the stamping workshop has adopted the industry’s leading integrated thermoforming technology, which has enabled the strength of the sidewall inner panel to achieve a qualitative leap. Compared with the ordinary car sidewall inner panel, its strength has been increased by 2-3 times.

It is the deep integration and application of this series of cutting-edge technologies that together create a new generation of safety body of Changan Qiyuan E07. This body makes a bold breakthrough in design, with the use of high-strength steel and aluminum alloys reaching more than 90%. Even key parts such as the car body and the front cover are made of all-aluminum alloy. This design is not only comparable to Tesla’s all-aluminum body design, but also has achieved remarkable results in vehicle lightweight, effectively reducing the weight of the vehicle, thereby improving fuel economy and handling performance. At the same time, the durability and safety of the body have also achieved a qualitative leap, providing drivers and passengers with a more solid and reliable safety guarantee.

Changan Shuizhi Factory leads the industry trend and takes the lead in establishing a unique fully automated flexible and unmanned die casting production workshop in China. The workshop integrates five core processes of melting, die casting, post-processing, machining and assembly, and is equipped with four top-class die casting machines weighing 7,700 tons. As a masterpiece of the factory, Changan Qiyuan E07 adopts the industry’s leading front and rear integrated die casting technology. This innovative process delicately integrates 163 components into two core parts. The die casting process takes only an astonishing 110 seconds, demonstrating unprecedented efficiency and integration capabilities.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Changan Shuizhi Factory has also pioneered a new die-casting process of "one mold and two pieces", which allows the flexible design of bumper parts and integrated die-casting parts, and achieves slow connection through ingenious mechanical structure. This design ingenuity ensures that the vehicle can effectively protect the integrated casting from damage in the event of a conventional collision, thereby greatly reducing the maintenance cost after the collision.

The in-depth application of integrated die-casting technology not only allows Changan Qiyuan E07 to achieve a significant reduction in vehicle weight, but also has a lighter curb weight of more than 100 kilograms compared to Model X. This lightweight achievement gives the vehicle more agile handling performance and positive response speed. At the same time, the torsional stiffness and bending stiffness of the vehicle have also been significantly improved by 24% and 23% respectively, and the collision energy absorption efficiency has jumped by 54%.

The painting workshop of Changan Shuizhi Factory, as an art palace of automobile beauty and protection, has introduced the first water-based environmentally friendly 3C2B process coating line in China through its innovation, which is undoubtedly another milestone in the green transformation of the automotive industry. This technological innovation has not only deeply improved the quality boundary of products, but also set a new benchmark in the field of environmental protection. Through the unique "three sprays and two dryers" process, compared with the simple "three coats and one bake" of the traditional 3C1B model, the pass rate of painting has achieved a qualitative leap, and the key performance indicators of car paints – adhesion, corrosion resistance, film hardness and durability – have been enhanced as never before, ensuring that vehicles can still show a lasting and gorgeous luster in extreme environments.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Changan Shuizhi Factory’s persistent pursuit of environmentally friendly materials. The water-based coatings used have greatly reduced environmental pollution due to their low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions, and actively responded to the global call for low-carbon environmental protection. This gentle treatment of nature is a manifestation of Changan Automobile’s sense of responsibility as an industry leader.

In addition, the gluing ISS robot and LASD robot configured in the painting workshop are the bright pearls of intelligent production. With its micron-level accuracy, the ISS extrusion robot has completely bid farewell to the possible flaws in the era of manual extrusion, ensuring the flawless gluing process. The liquid damping glue used by the LASD robot has shown extraordinary strength in sound insulation and heat insulation, creating a quiet and comfortable private space for passengers, making every trip a pleasant journey of body and mind.

Changan Qiyuan E07, as the master of this series of advanced craftsmanship, satisfies consumers’ pursuit of personalization with its colorful 7 body colors. At the scene, the first-time users witnessed the extraordinary charm of the latest off-line matte car paint vehicles. The unique texture and luster instantly ignited their enthusiasm, and they were deeply attracted by this masterpiece that combines technology and aesthetics.

The "Golden Bell Jar Battery" carried by Changan Qiyuan E07, its birthplace – the battery workshop, is undoubtedly a bright pearl in Changan Shuizhi Factory. Here, not only the top fully automated battery packaging production lines in China are gathered, but also the industry-leading laser welding technology. The four core process links – assembly, gluing, welding and testing – are seamlessly connected here, and together they create the extraordinary quality of "Golden Bell Jar Battery".

The introduction of 235 sets of state-of-the-art equipment has enabled the pre-assembly section of the battery workshop to achieve 100% automated production. This feat not only highlights the strong strength of Changan Digital Intelligence Factory, but also makes it a model of black light factory in Asia. Here, technology and efficiency go hand in hand, precision and intelligence dance together, laying a solid foundation for the birth of "Golden Bell Battery".

The name of the "Golden Bell Battery" is due to its use of military-grade basalt nano-thermal insulation material. This high-tech material is like putting an indestructible layer of armor on the battery, achieving 100% heat suppression effect, ensuring that the battery pack can remain calm in extreme situations, without smoke, fire, or explosion, providing a solid guarantee for the user’s safe travel.

At the same time, the application of CTV integrated integration technology perfectly integrates the battery with the chassis, which not only improves the overall strength of the body and the safety of the battery, but also provides more possibilities for the design of the interior space. This innovative design allows Changan Qiyuan E07 to have excellent safety performance while also taking into account the spaciousness and comfort of the space.

The addition of 800V high-voltage fast charging technology has made the Changan Qiyuan E07’s battery life and charging efficiency reach a new height. It only takes about 15 minutes to add about 365 kilometers of cruising range to the vehicle, so that users no longer need to worry about power for every trip.

Changan Digital Intelligence Factory, as the cradle of "Golden Bell Battery", provides the most solid backing for the super safety and long battery life of Changan Qiyuan E07 with its excellent technical strength and innovation ability. Here, the birth of every battery is condensed with the crystallization of wisdom and sweat, and every effort is designed to bring users a safer, more convenient and more pleasant travel experience.

Changan Qiyuan E07, as an electric vehicle that combines technology, luxury and intelligence, every step from painting to final assembly is full of expectations and ingenuity for the future. Through the sky corridor that connects painting and final assembly, it seems to have crossed the boundaries of time and space, from a cold metal shell to an intelligent car with soul and flesh.

In the final assembly workshop, the production lines of modernization and digital intelligence complement each other, demonstrating the rapid development of China’s automobile manufacturing industry. The birth of a new digital intelligence car every minute is not only a symbol of China’s speed, but also a solid step forward for China’s automobile industry to move towards intelligence and high-end. Here, Changan Qiyuan E07 realizes the world’s leading central ring network architecture through the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as agile sensing, integrated control and super computing power, providing higher safety redundancy for vehicle control, making every trip more worry-free.

When it comes to the interior, Changan Qiyuan E07 is the ultimate interpretation of delicacy and elegance. The first-class zero-gravity seats of the main and co-pilot are equipped with functions such as electric adjustment, memory, ventilation, heating, massage, etc., bringing an unprecedented comfortable experience to the driver and occupant. The perfect combination of the space handle steering wheel and the 15.4-inch sunflower screen not only enhances the convenience of driving, but also makes the interior space full of technology and futurism. In addition, the 16:9 ratio of the co-pilot’s sun visor exclusive entertainment large screen, 18 stereo surround speakers, and the rear car 3D-PAD configuration make the interior space a mobile living space that integrates entertainment and office.

In terms of intelligent driving, Changan Qiyuan E07 has also shown great strength. Through the precise cooperation of 11 cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars and 2 lidars as standard, it has achieved far more intelligent driving capabilities than Model X. Whether it is lane keeping assistance, parallel line assistance or lane centering function, it performs better. At the same time, its strong perception ability and real-time road topology generation ability make it possible to avoid and bypass obstacles intelligently. And the ability to automatically process 1600 kilometers of data for model training every day makes it a leading position in the new energy industry.

In terms of software, Changan Qiyuan E07 is also not to be underestimated. The world’s only central ring network architecture jointly owned by it and Cybertruck not only enhances the safety redundancy of vehicle control, but also shows the profound heritage of Chinese auto brands in integrated domain control technology. If Tesla is a pioneer in integrated domain control technology among global automakers, then Changan Qiyuan E07 is undoubtedly the leader among domestic brands. Its appearance not only allows us to see the innovation and strength of China’s auto industry, but also makes us full of unlimited expectations and vision for the future.

In addition to visiting the factory, Changan Qiyuan E07’s driving review activity also brought an unprecedented driving feast for first-time users. This model has demonstrated excellent performance and leading technical strength in terms of power, control, comfort and intelligent driver assistance systems.

In terms of power, Changan Qiyuan E07 is equipped with a system with a peak power of up to 440kW and a peak torque of 645Nm. This powerful power configuration makes its 100-kilometer acceleration capacity reach an amazing 4-second level, which is completely comparable to high-end electric models such as Model X. This acceleration performance not only makes the driver feel the ultimate sense of push, but also shows Changan’s deep accumulation in electric vehicle power technology.

In terms of handling, Changan Qiyuan E07 also performs well. Its air suspension system can realize adjustable height of 90mm and soft and hard stepless adjustment, which can be intelligently adjusted according to road conditions and driver’s needs, ensuring that the vehicle can maintain the best handling and comfort in various complex road conditions. In addition, the combination of all-aluminum alloy chassis, double fork arm front overhang and R-EPS steering system brings a delicate steering feel and stable cornering posture to the vehicle, allowing the driver to easily cope with various cornering challenges.

In terms of comfort, the Changan Qiyuan E07 also did not disappoint. The whole car uses double-layer sound insulation glass and a large number of silent materials, which effectively isolates most of the wind noise and road noise, creating a quiet and comfortable riding environment for the driver. This sense of tranquility is even comparable to that of a million-class luxury car, allowing the driver to enjoy the comfortable experience of being in a luxury cockpit while enjoying high-speed driving.

Finally, the Changan Qiyuan E07 is also equipped with the high-level intelligent driving assistance system independently developed by Changan Automobile. This system not only has the function of automatically identifying parking spaces and selecting empty parking spaces by itself, but also provides more advanced intelligent driving auxiliary features such as valet parking and high-speed piloting in subsequent upgrades. The addition of these functions will further enhance the intelligence level and driving convenience of the Changan Qiyuan E07, allowing drivers to enjoy the driving pleasure while also feeling the convenience and peace of mind brought by technology.

Digital intelligence leads the future and makes a leap towards a better future

As a new achievement of Changan Intelligent Manufacturing, Changan Automotive Digital Intelligence Factory has provided advanced and valuable practical experience for the transformation of China’s automobile manufacturing industry, and is expected to become a new high ground for future automotive intelligent manufacturing.

Thanks to the intelligent variable hard power and high-end intelligent manufacturing empower, the "intelligent variable new car" Changan Qiyuan E07, which has pioneered the industry, has three body variable functions of "SUV, pickup truck, coupe", a solid quality foundation and an integrated super-intelligent experience. It is expected that its starting price will not be less than 300,000 yuan. In the future, Changan Automobile will uphold ingenuity, launch better quality and epoch-making products, and lead China’s automobile industry to climb to the peak with excellent technology.

Recently, the Group’s first new model AERO 7 (hereinafter referred to as X7) series was officially launched, which means that this 60-year-old Chinese auto brand has once again given new life and taken on a new mission.

As the first new model after Mr. Tan Xuguang launched the heavy truck, it is also a witness to the comeback of the Yellow River brand and the inheritor of the Yellow River spirit. It came by the Yellow River and returned to the Yellow River again.

Behind all X7 is the historical witness of the rebirth and transformation of Sinotruk Group. Today, the author will review the entrepreneurial process of Sinotruk with the audience and friends.

The predecessor of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group was the Jinan Auto Parts Factory established in 1956, which was the only automobile industry-related enterprise in Shandong Province at that time.

In 1958, after the introduction of the former Soviet Union car models, the Yellow River brand JN220 off-road vehicle was developed, ending the history of no automobile industry in Shandong Province. At the same time, Jinan Auto Parts Factory was renamed Jinan Automobile Factory and became the only automobile manufacturing enterprise in Shandong Province at that time.

After the introduction of the policy of "building socialism in a better province as soon as possible", our country’s modernization needs a series of varieties of automobiles to meet its growing construction needs. Therefore, after taking over the task of trial production of 8-ton cargo vehicles assigned by relevant state departments, Jinan Automobile Manufacturing Plant began to enter the research and development and trial production process of new models.

Under difficult conditions, on April 15, 1960, the 8-ton truck trial-produced by Jinan Automobile Factory was successfully rolled off the production line. This model was based on the Skoda 706 truck from the former Czechoslovakia in the socialist camp country, which was the first generation of large-tonnage trucks in China at that time. This model was the Yellow River JN150, the earliest in China.

In May 1960, when Chairperson Mao Zedong visited Jinan, he visited the first batch of models of the Yellow River JN150 and spoke highly of it.

In January 1966, Chairperson Zhu De inspected the Yellow River JN150 model and personally wrote the word "Yellow River" for the car. This year, Jinan Automobile Manufacturing Factory was renamed Jinan Automobile Manufacturing General Factory, marking the beginning of a new historical stage.

Since the mid-late 1960s, our country has entered a period of serious turmoil. During this period, all aspects of the national economy have caused serious negative effects. But new progress has been made in major undertakings such as national defense.

In 1966, the Second Artillery Force of the People’s Liberation Army (later reorganized into the Rocket Force) began to develop missiles and supporting transport vehicles. The following year (1967), the Jinan Automobile Manufacturing Plant accepted the task of trial production of transport vehicles, and in April 1968 developed our country’s first generation of large-tonnage military off-road cargo vehicles – Yellow River JN252.

Since 1970, the JN252 has served and tested in some units of the People’s Liberation Army, and was officially mass-produced in 1976, making important contributions to the development of our country’s national defense weapons and equipment. In addition, this car has a wonderful relationship with Mr. Qian Xuesen, the "two bombs".

In the late 1970s, the turmoil ended and our country’s social development returned to the normal track. At the same time, Jinan Automobile Manufacturing General Factory also began to launch new models for the civilian automobile market.

In 1978, Jinan Automobile Manufacturing Plant introduced Romanian car technology and carried out localized production, and in 1981 launched the second generation of Yellow River civilian vehicles: the ten-ton truck JN162 series. The JN162 series used the new technology applied for the first time in China at that time, almost at the same starting point as the technical level of international advanced models at that time.

At the same time, the China Heavy Duty Truck Industry Joint Venture Company with Jinan Automobile Manufacturing Plant as the core was established and is one of the three major domestic automobile industry groups. In 1983, with the support of reform and opening up and national policies, the joint venture company introduced the technology of Austrian 91 series models and made them domestically.

In 1985, the first Steyr 91 series truck assembled in China rolled off the assembly line, ending the history that our country could not produce large-tonnage trucks. In 1989, the first domestically produced Steyr 91 series model rolled off the assembly line, opening the "Steyr" era of Chinese commercial vehicles.

In December 1989, China Heavy Duty Truck Industry Joint Venture Company officially changed its name to China Heavy Duty Truck Group Company, moving towards a new generation of modern enterprises and bringing new opportunities for the development of the Yellow River brand.

Since the 1990s, with the introduction of new models of international automobile brands into the Chinese market and the continuous introduction of new products by domestic friends, the two main car series of the Yellow River and Steyr relied on by the old heavy truck have been defeated in the increasingly severe market competition and lost their past. Under various reasons, the old heavy truck cannot escape the fate of bankruptcy.

In 2000, the bankruptcy and reorganization of China’s heavy truck group company was approved by the State Council, and the era of the old heavy truck ended.

After the bankruptcy and reorganization of the old heavy truck, there is good news: the original main assets of the old heavy truck have been devolved to Shandong Province, and continue to retain the name of "China heavy truck". The next good news is that Mr. Ma Chunji, then the deputy mayor of Jinan City, took over the "mess" and cleaned it up.

On January 18, 2001, after the successful reorganization, Sinotruk returned to the world as "China Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd.".

In 2002, the first batch of high-end model series based on Steyr technology was fully upgraded, which sent a heavy gift to the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Since then, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group has begun to move towards a new route of independent research and development.

Since 2003, SINOTRUK has successively carried out technical cooperation with German MAN and Swedish companies (with the latter to establish a joint venture company Jinan Huawo), and in 2004 launched a high-end heavy truck product with international advanced level: HOWALLE.

Of course, Yellow River’s brand equity has not been abandoned. In 2003, China National Heavy Duty Truck Corporation launched three Yellow River sub-brands: the "Yellow River" medium and large-tonnage model, the "medium-tonnage model" and the "Yellow River General" small-tonnage model. In today’s words, the Yellow River "medium cup, large cup, and super large cup".

However, these models did not make much progress in the market, forming a strong contrast with the majestic atmosphere of the Howo series Hukou waterfall of the Yellow River.

In 2007, China National Heavy Duty Truck (Hong Kong), a subsidiary of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. So far, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group has two listed companies, Jinan Truck and China National Heavy Duty Truck (Hong Kong).

In 2008, the first model of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group to test the high-end heavy truck market, the "Howo A7", was officially launched on the market. This was the first domestic truck with its own brand of hand-in-hand (AMT), and it was also the first commercial vehicle with a fully self-developed powertrain in China. Its performance has approached the technical level of foreign advanced models.

In July 2009, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group signed a cooperation agreement with German MAN, and German MAN held 25% + 1 shares of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, entering a new era of comprehensive cooperation. During the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show, China and Germany released a new high-end brand SITRAK, Chinese name ", and the first mass-produced model T7 is also known as the predecessor of the subsequent Howo T7H.

In 2012, the first standard product of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, Howo Light Truck, was officially launched, ending the gap in the light truck market competition of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group and opening a good start for China National Heavy Duty Truck Group to enter the light commercial vehicle market.

In addition, the Yellow River brand has returned to the market with a new line "New Yellow River", targeting the mid- to high-end mid- to large-tonnage lightweight truck market.

In August 2015, the new headquarters and science and technology building of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, located at No. 777 Huaao Road, High-tech Zone, Jinan City, was officially put into use, completing the comprehensive evolution of the R & D environment.

On September 1, 2018, Mr. Tan Xuguang from Weichai Group officially became the chairperson and party secretary of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group. The first thing he did when he came to power was to conduct a strategic reorganization within China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, divest and sell the real estate business (in fact, China National Heavy Duty Truck also has its own real estate business, but it is not outstanding compared to its main business), and make minor adjustments to personnel. There is only one key point: to attack the main business without distractions.

However, after Mr. Tan was launched, all the products of the four major brands of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group began to offer choices one after another. Many people expressed concerns about the homogeneity of the products of Heavy Duty Truck, and some people said that the market competitiveness of Heavy Duty Truck products after assembling Weichai engines would decline, but now it seems that there is no need to worry too much.

With the launch of the optional Weichai engine series and the new Howo, the main Weichai engine, Sinotruk has made great efforts in product adaptability.

The recently released new model of the Yellow River, AERO7 (X7), is the first to introduce the overall streamlined design in the domestic production models, making the X7’s drag coefficient reach the same level as that of passenger cars.

The powertrain is equipped with a variety of models such as the German technology M series and the H series with thermal efficiency up to 50%. It independently develops a hand-integrated gearbox and is specially adjusted for the Yellow River car series.

At the same time, the new model of the Yellow River has reached the level of foreign advanced technology in terms of configuration and safety performance. In terms of price, the new car is about 450,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan, which is quite competitive compared with foreign brands and domestic models.

On the evening of the 2nd, China Evergrande and Hengda Properties announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that the company has applied to the Stock Exchange to resume trading at 9:00 am on October 3.

On September 28, China Evergrande announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that the company had received a notice from relevant departments that Mr. Xu Jiayin, the executive director and chairperson of the board of directors of the company, had been taken compulsory measures according to law on suspicion of illegal crimes.

On the morning of September 28, Hengda’s listed companies China Evergrande, Hengda Automobile, and Hengda Property collectively suspended trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

On the afternoon of September 27, Hengda’s listed platform stock price suddenly fell. As of the close, China Hengda fell 19%, with a total market value of 4.20 billion Hong Kong dollars; Hengda Automobile fell 20%, with a total market value of 6.10 billion Hong Kong dollars; Hengda Property fell 14.5%, with a total market value of 6.40 billion Hong Kong dollars. The total market value of the three major platforms is only 16.70 billion Hong Kong dollars.

A criminal law expert said in an interview with reporters at the time that according to Evergrande Group’s announcement, the company should have received a precise notice, and the notice classified Xu Jiayin as "suspected of illegal crimes" and was subject to coercive measures. It is common sense to guess that in the case of notification by relevant departments, the coercive measures taken are likely to be different from the "residential surveillance" misreported by foreign media.

The above-mentioned criminal legal experts said that in the context of the early investigation of Hengda Real Estate by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the criminal coercive measures taken by the public security department against Hengda Fortune Du and other suspected criminals, the result of Xu Jiayin’s suspected illegal crime should not surprise too many people. Public opinion has paid more attention to "when" to take action. Judging from the current public information, the issues involved in him are likely to be related to multiple crimes, which are very complicated and may take quite some time to clarify.

It is worth noting that Hengda Automobile, which was suspended at the same time as China Hengda and Hengda Property, did not resume trading at the same time. On the last trading day before the suspension of Hengda Automobile, the share price was HK $0.56/share, and the total market value was HK $6.073 billion.

CCTV News:In recent years, the momentum of the rapid expansion of off-campus training courses has not diminished, with students ranging from middle school students, primary school students to preschool children, among which subject training courses are particularly popular. In some big cities, more and more parents are involved in a battle called "Chicken Baby".

Here, "chicken" has changed from a noun to a verb, which means to "give the child chicken blood""Keep arranging extracurricular classes for children and keep taking off-campus exams. It seems that everything has naturally moved from school to off-campus. What is the original intention of parents?

In recent days, a series of exams from an off-campus training institution are being rolled out in some cities all over the country. The exams are aimed at students from kindergarten middle class to fifth grade in primary school. The subjects are Chinese, mathematics and English, and the exam methods are mainly online.Students who register for their summer and autumn classes this year should be selected and stratified. According to their grades, they will enter different classes from low to high difficulty.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:Our system is divided into three parts: excellent system, innovative system and interest system. In the preliminary round, diligence and sensitivity can be offered to every child in front of the screen.

This exam has aroused parents’ increasing concern and heated discussion. In some parents’ groups, everyone exchanged experiences and lamented the difficulty of the topic to see whose child was admitted to the highest class, and its fiery degree even far exceeded any in-school exam.

Mr. Wang, the candidate’s parents: My child took the exam from grade four to grade five. I can still do it at the initial test. I can’t answer many questions in the second test for a short time. I doubt how I got into the university myself.

Mr. Wang said that it is such an exam that the test difficulty is much higher than the school level. When the registration was released in early March this year, it was necessary to grab the quota.

Candidates’ parents, Mr. Wang:I grabbed the opportunity when I made up the second batch of newspapers, and I set the alarm clock at 12 noon.

Some parents told reporters in the interview that the reason why they want to participate in the selection of training courses is that they hope to skip the "allocation" and enter their favorite quality schools.

Reporter:What is the original intention and purpose of giving classes to children?

Parents of primary school students:I can’t help it. It’s like this now. If you don’t learn Olympic Mathematics, you will have no choice at the beginning of your junior high school!

Reporter:Isn’t it assigned?

Parents of primary school students:Yes, it is, but it will be too late for you to wait until you are assigned, and the selection has already been made before.

"early training" grabs opportunities, and the institution "going to school" creates anxiety.

As early as 2014, the Ministry of Education initiated the reform of compulsory education, and clarified the principle of "school enrollment and students’ enrollment nearby". But at the same time, a small number of high-quality schools are still allowed to carry out the "experimental project of early training of extraordinary children", that is, "early training". In the investigation, the reporter found that these training paths, which were originally designed for a very small number of truly gifted children, have become business opportunities for off-campus training institutions, and parents and children have been dragged in one after another.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:Now, the Education Commission has explicitly banned participation in that kind of cup, but there are still some. The cup that used to be a show has now become this camp, that camp, camp events and so on. Going to the camp is to take this kind of exam.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:Moreover, they sometimes refer to our grades when they are "trained early" and when they take exams.They will look at this when they choose, so I told you that no matter whether we think high or learn to think, you must take the large-scale exam as long as you are notified.

Some parents report that staff of off-campus training institutions often teach them "the classics of entering a higher school", suggesting that some schools have expanded the scope of "early training" or "recruit" high-quality students in their eyes, so long as they participate in their various "selections", they may be selected by middle schools. Because public schools reduce the burden, students’ test scores are not well differentiated, so their scores can be used as a basis.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:Look at your resume. Is it beautiful or not? If your resume is beautiful, you are nothing more than taking part in any cup and any exam. For example, both children got 100 points in the exam, but in English, he got the FCE (Cambridge First English Certificate Examination) certificate, and you got the PET (Cambridge English Elementary Examination) certificate. People will definitely want FCE. Now if you take English classes after class, you don’t have to learn school English.

Taking the test score scale officially released by Cambridge English General Test as a benchmark, we can see that KET corresponds to the domestic junior high school English level, PET corresponds to the domestic senior high school English level, and FCE is equivalent to IELTS score of 5.5— 7.0 points, reaching the level of studying abroad.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:A child came that day, anyway, he was very young, so he said that KET had passed, and then he had to prepare PET.

The introduction of other people’s children by training institutions is the most exciting thing for parents. In this way, many parents are involved in the ranks of English proficiency tests. In Shanghai, in order to compete for a KET/PET exam place, the registration fee for the exam was scrambled from 500 yuan to 4,000 yuan. In Beijing, it is a success to get an exam place in a foreign province and city.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:Last year, another one of us went to Hunan to take the exam.

Staff of an off-campus training institution:We still have people going to Yunnan here, so we’ll be satisfied if we grab them. Just take our children for a few days and take a two-day leave.

The chaos of off-campus training is frequent, and "shadow training" has a great influence.

Parents flooded into off-campus training and invested a lot of money and energy in order to win the "stepping stone" of a high-quality prestigious school with their beautiful resumes. The reporter learned that this "resume anxiety" has spread from the early stage of junior high school to preschool children in the early stage of junior high school.

Among some parents, there are many parents of preschool children sharing their experiences. I heard that some primary schools have also set up experimental classes for teaching reform, commonly known as "early training". They hope to enter this system through preschool training. The reporter’s investigation found that all major off-campus training institutions have launched advanced training for preschool children.

Customer service of an off-campus training institution:(Kindergarten small class) Mathematics is about learning seven abilities, learning mathematical sense, logical thinking ability, cultivating his spatial imagination, logical reasoning, etc. This is a mathematics subject, and then he will speak some reading comprehension of Chinese, learn simple articles for children to listen to, etc., as well as English, mainly starting from 26 English letters, and simple vocabulary.

Many parents will prepare resumes for their children to participate in the "early training". In a parent group, the reporter saw two resumes of preschool children. The first child can not only complete the mixed operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100, but also attend the innovative class with the highest olympiad number in an institution. He also passed the English Cambridge KET exam and learned 2000 Chinese characters, even though he did not pass the sea election. Another child with a basic level passed the sea election, and the reason is that the latter one got 145 in the IQ test of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

According to the method of group friends’ guidance, the reporter found the WeChat WeChat official account of "Zhongke Extraordinary Children", clicked on the appointment, and saw that the number had been fully booked by the end of May.

Reporter:I want to ask how old children can we test?

Staff of Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences:Over 5 years old, 130 points is extraordinary. From March to July now, it is the peak season. Many parents made an appointment two or three months in advance. In the past two years, after the IQ test was approved by the early training, there were many people who made an appointment.

Behind all kinds of off-campus training chaos, a large number of brushing questions and exam-taking skills have also become one of the main aspects of criticism. For example, in a class of "cube dismantling", the teacher directly summed up the problem-solving skills of how to judge that "the unfolded diagram of a cube cannot be formed" as "there is no field, no concave and no big right angle". Students know why, but they don’t know why, so they can answer the questions by mechanical memory. In a Chinese class in a training institution, the teacher even stylized writing and summed up the writing skills of "having images".

Zhang Yu, Vice President of Tsinghua University Education Research Institute:Extracurricular remedial classes also have a name, which is called "shadow education" in academic circles. It is like the shadow of formal education, because the existence of extracurricular remedial classes exists for students to achieve better performance in formal education, but I think it is actually not a shadow, it is another system, and it has actually seriously affected our formal education.

As early as 2018, the state has made it clear that it is resolutely forbidden to take exams, exceed the standard, advance training and be linked to enrollment. However, we can see that under the various packages of training institutions, advanced training is still active, and more and more parents and children are involved. In order to end the chaos in the off-campus training market, the fundamental solution is to block the entrance selection of high-quality schools by disguised examinations and competitions, and cut off the connection between off-campus training institutions and enrollment in primary and secondary schools.
