  And your building has high architectural research value. And the wall of your building is rammed with soil. The bottom wall is 1.4 meters thick and shrinks step by step. The total height of the wall is 17.95 meters, and the height-thickness ratio of the soil wall reaches 13: 1. Visible, as early as more than 200 years ago, Fujian Tulou has pushed the traditional rammed earth technology level in China to the peak. What’s even more amazing is that Heguilou, a square earth building resembling a castle, was actually built on a swamp of 3,000 square meters, which is still like an ark on land. Now it has passed through more than 200 spring and autumn. The ancestors of tulou created the cutting foundation construction technology with pine as the bottom, which successfully solved this technical problem, which is shocking enough. In 2001, Hegui Building was designated as a national key cultural relics protection unit.

Latin America observes that Venezuela has been "favorable" recently, and US sanctions against Venezuela are futile.

  Recently, Venezuela has welcomed a number of "benefits", the economic sanctions imposed by the United States on Venezuela have been loosened, the so-called "interim government" supported by the United States in an attempt to replace the current government has been dissolved, and European countries represented by Spain and France are easing their relations with Venezuela. In particular, Latin American countries, such as Colombia and Brazil, have resumed diplomatic relations with Venezuela. These Latin American countries advocate multilateral mechanisms to solve problems and oppose unilateral sanctions and crowding out Venezuela.

  Local analysts pointed out that there are indications that since 2018, the United States has tried to use unilateral sanctions to force the Venezuelan government to yield and pressure European and Latin American countries to isolate Venezuela, which cannot succeed.

  American companies resume importing Venezuelan oil.

  Since 2018, the United States has imposed "extreme pressure" on the Venezuelan government for many years, with the aim of supporting the so-called "interim government" led by Venezuelan opposition leader Guaido. Since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on February 24 last year, Europe and the United States have imposed sanctions on Russian crude oil exports, resulting in tight international crude oil supply and rising prices for a long time, which has also brought obvious negative effects to domestic oil prices in the United States. In order to stabilize domestic oil prices, the United States began to take the initiative to contact Venezuela, a major oil producer, to seek the possibility of importing oil from Venezuela.

  On November 26, 2022, the US Treasury Department announced that in the next six months, Chevron will be allowed to resume its oil exploration business in Venezuela and allow it to import oil from Venezuela. As a result, two oil tankers sent by Chevron arrived at Lake Maracaibo, the main oil and gas producing area of Venezuela, on December 29th last year and January 3rd this year respectively. In addition to bringing naphtha used to dilute heavy crude oil to the joint venture between Chevron and Venezuela’s national oil company, it is estimated that 500,000 barrels of crude oil will be transported to Chevron’s refinery in the Gulf of Mexico. This will be the first batch of crude oil shipped from Venezuela to the United States in four years.

△ Chevron oil tanker sent to Venezuela

  Francesco Monaldi, director of Latin American energy project of Baker School of Public Policy, Rice University, said that the crude oil production capacity of Chevron’s joint venture in Venezuela was 50,000 barrels per day at the end of November last year, and it is expected to increase to 800,000 to 100,000 barrels per day in the following months. If there is enough investment, the production capacity of Chevron is expected to increase to 200,000 to 220,000 barrels per day in the next two years.

  Under the "favorable" factors such as Chevron’s resumption of operation in Venezuela, the Venezuelan Petrochemical Chamber of Commerce said that by the end of 2023, Venezuela could increase its crude oil production from the current 700,000 barrels per day to 1 million barrels per day, which would greatly increase the country’s oil export revenue. By the end of 2023, the export income including oil, gold and other minerals is expected to reach about 20 billion US dollars, exceeding the estimated income of 15 billion US dollars in 2022, which will help improve Venezuela’s balance of payments.

  The process of multi-party game is difficult and tortuous.

  The recent relaxation of sanctions against Venezuela by the United States is the result of a multi-party game, and its process is difficult and tortuous. Shortly after the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States completely banned the import of Russian oil, resulting in a gap of 600,000 to 700,000 barrels per day. In order to fill the gap, the US government sent a high-level delegation to Venezuela for talks with the Venezuelan government on March 5 last year. In the negotiations, US officials mentioned that Venezuela should export oil directly to the United States in exchange for relaxing US oil sanctions against Venezuela, while trying to determine whether Maduro’s government is prepared to keep a distance from its ally Russia in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Plasencia, Venezuela’s foreign minister, said shortly afterwards that Venezuela was ready to sell oil to the United States again, but at the same time, it remained "loyal" to Russia, which remained an ally.

  Since the end of March last year, Biden’s government has released 180 million barrels of reserve crude oil to the domestic market in the United States. The urgency of the United States to resume importing oil from Venezuela to stabilize oil prices has declined in a short period of time, and the negotiations between the United States and Venezuela have come to a standstill.

  After temporarily shelving the option of Venezuela, the US government once tried to persuade Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other oil-producing countries in the Middle East to increase oil production. Last July, Biden visited Saudi Arabia. At the beginning of October 2022, "OPEC+"countries including Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates decided to reduce crude oil production by 2 million barrels per day from November until the end of 2022. Biden stated in this regard that the decision of "OPEC+"prompted the United States to reconsider the issue of oil import substitutes, but the United States has many options. The US media subsequently reported that Biden’s administration is considering the option of relaxing sanctions against Venezuela, so that American oil companies can restart oil production activities in Venezuela.

△ "OPEC+"countries hold a meeting

  At the end of November last year, Biden’s government allowed Chevron to resume its oil exploration and export business in Venezuela, and Chevron quickly sent tankers to Venezuela to transport crude oil. According to American media reports, Chevron was able to quickly resume importing crude oil after obtaining the license, thanks to the company’s preparations as early as several months ago.

  The analysis pointed out that a series of chain reactions triggered by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in the world forced the United States to consider loosening sanctions against the Committee. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace recently wrote in official website that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has continuously strengthened the right to speak in the negotiations between Maduro’s government and the United States. As the United States demands to cut off Russian oil and gas exports and seek alternatives for Russian oil imports, the United States is giving up its "threatening language" against Venezuela in previous years and releasing more "goodwill" instead. Now Venezuela is becoming a "valuable partner" of the United States.

  The "interim president" was dismissed because of infighting in the opposition.

  Just as the United States relaxed its sanctions against Venezuela, both the "interim government" and the "interim president" Guaido supported by the United States had problems: the former was dissolved and the latter was dismissed. In the vote on December 30 last year, the Venezuelan opposition passed the decision to dissolve the so-called "interim government" and dismissed Guaido, the "interim president". Of the four main opposition parties in Venezuela, three supported the above decision.

  Looking back at history, in May 2018, the current president of Venezuela, Maduro, won re-election in the presidential election, but the United States and some western countries did not recognize the election results and supported Guaido, who was elected as the chairman of Venezuela’s parliament in January 2019, as an "interim president". In fact, Guaido has never actually been in power for a day.

  After the dissolution of the "interim government", the National Security Council of the United States indicated that the United States would continue to support the "interim government" in whatever form it existed. The State Council spokesman Price said on January 3 that although the "interim government" has been dissolved, the United States still "does not recognize" Maduro’s government and will continue to maintain the existing sanctions.

  Compared with the tough stance of the United States, Venezuelan President Maduro said on January 1 this year that Venezuela is "fully prepared to take measures to normalize relations with the United States". Maduro criticized the US government’s extreme pressure on Venezuela. He said that the United States has taken measures such as suppressing Venezuela, threatening invasion and imposing extreme sanctions, hoping to force Venezuela to split internally and "arrange a president" for Venezuela from the outside, but these measures have been defeated.

  However, although the Venezuelan government firmly opposed the "interim government" supported by the United States, it did not close the communication channels with the "interim government", especially on November 26 last year, the Venezuelan government and the opposition made an important breakthrough in negotiations for the first time in many years. The two sides agreed to implement a humanitarian rescue plan worth about $3 billion and continue the dialogue in Mexico. This further strengthened the initiative of the Maduro government.

△ Venezuelan President Maduro

  Although the United States does not admit its failure in supporting the opposition, many mainstream media have quite consistent judgments on this. The New York Times wrote that Guaido’s dismissal was a major blow to the US government, which has been supporting Guaido since 2019. This clearly shows that the opposition has lost confidence in the goal of "replacing the Maduro government" led by Guaido. German news TV issued a document saying that Guaido’s dismissal means that "the attempt to support an influential opposition to compete with the Maduro government has failed".

  The Sao Paulo newspaper, which has the largest circulation in Brazil, pointed out that although Biden’s government is unwilling to "recognize" Maduro’s government, it has shown that the US policy toward Venezuela has obvious pragmatism from sending a high-level delegation to visit Venezuela in March last year to allowing Chevron to import Venezuelan crude oil.

  Some European countries began to ease relations with Venezuela.

  Over the past few years, many European countries have expressed their support for the "interim government" and adopted measures to sanction the Venezuelan government, while some Latin American countries have also "selected side stations" and collectively put pressure on the Maduro government.

  Today, these situations are changing.

  In Europe, European countries have realized the importance of Venezuela since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine led to the energy supply crisis in Europe. French President Macron called for the diversification of European oil imports and the return of Venezuela to the international oil market at the G7 summit last July. Last November, at the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference, Macron met with Maduro, and Macron expressed his willingness to start bilateral cooperation beneficial to the whole region. Recently, the Spanish government appointed a new ambassador to Venezuela to restore diplomatic relations between the two countries at the ambassadorial level in order to coordinate the import of oil from Venezuela by the country’s oil companies.

△ European cruise ships arrived in Venezuela for the first time in 15 years.

  In fact, European energy companies have started importing Venezuelan crude oil earlier. In the middle of last year, Italy’s Eni Group and Spain’s Lepsol Company imported a total of 3.6 million barrels of crude oil from Venezuela, which was the first time that Europe imported Venezuelan oil in two years. Since then, Venezuela has suspended the export of oil to these two European companies for three months because of dissatisfaction with the settlement method that exporting oil can only be used to pay off debts. Since November, Venezuela has resumed oil sales to these two companies. In that month, 2 million barrels of crude oil were exported to Europe, most of which were received by Lepsol’s Bilbao Refinery. The refinery uses heavy crude oil to produce a large amount of petroleum coke (an important raw material for cement, graphite, steelmaking and other industries), and the petroleum coke production capacity of the refinery can meet the demand of European market by about 5%.

  Jon Imas, president of Lepsol Company, said that importing Venezuelan oil is not only beneficial to the company itself, but also beneficial to Europe as a whole. In the case that Europe is short of Russian oil due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Venezuela provides another option to supply Europe.

  Just as some European countries eased relations with Venezuela and increased imports of Venezuelan oil. On January 3, a cruise ship from Europe docked in Venezuela, and nearly 500 passengers from France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Italy visited Venezuela for the first time in 15 years.

  Latin American countries move closer to Venezuela

  At the level of Latin American countries, cracks have appeared within the Lima Group. The Lima Group was founded in Lima, Peru in 2017 by 12 Latin American countries including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Mexico, with the aim of trying to solve the Venezuelan crisis by peaceful means. At the beginning of the establishment of Lima Group, many member countries boycotted the current Venezuelan government and supported the United States’ practice of excluding Venezuela from attending the Summit of the Americas.

△ Colombian President petro and Venezuelan President Maduro met for the first time in three years

  Now, the situation has changed. Peru recognized the Maduro government in 2021, while Argentina and Mexico announced their withdrawal from the Lima Group in 2021. On the other hand, after the new President petro took office, Colombian neighbors quickly resumed diplomatic relations with Venezuela at the ambassadorial level, lifted the border blockade, and achieved the first meeting between the two presidents in three years. In Brazil, the largest country in Latin America, Lula officially became president on January 1, which not only ordered the lifting of the ban on the entry of President Maduro into Brazil, but also restored diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level between the two countries.

During the Spring Festival holiday in 2025, the number of traffic trips exceeded 2.3 billion.

On the 5th, the reporter learned from the 2025 Spring Festival travel rush Comprehensive Transportation Work Class that during the Spring Festival holiday this year (from January 28th to February 4th), the cross-regional personnel flow of the whole society was 2,306.845 million.

Specifically, the passenger traffic by railway is 96.26 million, the passenger flow by road is 2,182.93 million (the passenger travel by non-operating passenger cars on expressways and provincial highways is 1,989.65 million, and the passenger traffic by road is 193.28 million), the passenger traffic by waterway is 9.413 million, and the passenger traffic by civil aviation is 18.2415 million.

Couples working in cities live in various ways: dad fails to pay social security and worries about daughter’s difficulty in entering school.

September 21, 2011, my hometown in Feicheng, Shandong. According to the custom in the village, on the third day after marriage, Wang Zhibao took Han Ping to the grave, saying that he wanted his new wife to visit his ancestors.

On March 15th, 2013, Wang Zhibao’s mother was hospitalized due to illness in Feicheng Hospital, Shandong Province. Hearing that his mother was unwell, Wang Zhibao hurried back by coach.

February 9, 2013, my hometown in Feicheng, Shandong. On New Year’s Eve, Wang Zhibao had a New Year’s Eve dinner with relatives and friends, while his wife looked after the crying children.

On December 18, 2015, Jinan, Shandong Province, had to go to work during the day, and Wang Zhibao and his wife followed the intermediary to see the second-hand house at night. There is no light in the top building facing the street, so they have to use their mobile phones for lighting.

  Photographer Liu Lei recorded the life of rural youth Wang Zhibao and his wife Han Ping for seven years in this 10-square-meter rental house in a village in Jinan. From marriage, having children to their daughter’s going to school, they travel between their hometown and the city, with meager income and light sorrow … …

  In 1986, Wang Zhibao was born in panzhuang, Feicheng City, Tai ‘an City, Shandong Province. Like other children of similar age in the village, he spent his childhood in the dirt. The experience of helping adults do farm work filled his primary school memory. He became familiar with the agricultural knowledge handed down by his ancestors and knew when to plant and when to harvest.

  The knowledge in books is more difficult to learn than farm work, and Wang Zhibao’s academic performance is always bad. In his own words, the academic performance at that time belonged to the level of "idiot", and the teachers were too lazy to take care of him. But he is optimistic about this — — There are several other "idiots" in the same village: Er Dan in the south of the village, Yandong &hellip in the west of the village; … They naturally became good friends. Although more than ten years have passed, he can still quickly and accurately list the "idiot" students who were connected with the same life at any time, and these students, like his current state, are doing some temporary work in a city and running between the city and the countryside.

  Wang Zhibao said that people who have never studied in their ancestors for generations seem to need genetic inheritance to read good books. Moreover, the older generation in the village always warned the younger generation that there would be no great promise in farming. Before the second day of junior high school, Wang Zhibao left the village, went to the county to be an apprentice, and began to work.

  The hardened asphalt road in the county is smoother than the dirt road in the village. Wang Zhibao, who came to the city, felt relieved. Away from my mother’s nagging, I seem to be an independent and mature man in an instant.

  Later, 17-year-old Wang Zhibao came to Jinan, the provincial capital. He worked as a cable worker, cleaner, hotel room cleaner and chess room attendant. At the age of 22, Wang Zhibao entered the stone renovation industry to do odd jobs, which continues to this day. Wages rose from 70 yuan at that time to 150 yuan now, and sometimes you can earn 200 yuan one lucky day, but you have to wait for the foreman’s phone call to recruit.

  After some ignorant and failed contacts, he met his wife Han Ping through a friend’s introduction. She came to work in Jinan from Heze rural area with a low education level, but she has a good personality, which can tolerate Wang Zhibao’s natural rebellious temper and does not dislike his meager income. Wang Zhibao also feels that Han Ping is "the kind of person who lives a down-to-earth life". At the end of 2005, Han Ping moved into a 10-square-meter hut he rented near Xishilihe Street in Jinan.

  In 2011, Wang Zhibao married Han Ping back to his hometown of Feicheng panzhuang. Han Ping was four months pregnant when she stood at the wedding scene in a wedding dress. In order to make up enough months for the unit to pay medical insurance for itself, Han Ping insisted on going to work normally in the shopping mall with a big belly. Wang Zhibao said that this can get maternity leave wages, plus maternity insurance can earn a lot of money.

  The cost of Jinan hospital is large, and the cost of caesarean section alone is more than 8 thousand yuan, as well as nutrition and other expenses. It’s far from home. If relatives come to take care of Han Ping, their food, drink and accommodation will be another expense, so Wang Zhibao took his wife to his hometown hospital with relatively poor conditions to give birth.

  In 2012, my daughter fell to the ground. The fortune teller said that his daughter, LMNT, had little soil. After calling many people for advice, he added the word "Yu" to her name.

  Wang Zhibao’s family of three has rented a 10-square-meter cabin in the village of Jinan, and the house price in the nearby community doubled in 2017 compared with that in 2013. Wang Zhibao had the idea of buying a second-hand house. At the end of 2015, at the instigation of his younger brother, he took a fancy to a street-facing old-top building with an area of 40 square meters and a selling price of 280,000 yuan. After calculation, they still feel that they can’t stand the pressure of paying a down payment of 80,000 yuan and a monthly loan of more than 1,000 yuan, and finally give up. But in just one year, the price of the same type of house has risen to about 400,000 yuan.

  Without their own house, there is no shortage of happiness in the life of a family of three. The small home is full of her daughter’s snacks and toys, with her paintings and awards on the walls, and photos of a family of three. The aisle at the door was neatly covered with Han Ping’s laundry. On weekends, Wang Zhibao will take his wife and daughter to the park to play. Seeing his daughter running with other children, he wanted to lie on the lawn and have a good sleep.

  Wang Zhibao said that he likes the freedom and vastness of the city, but his mother who is alone in his hometown is deeply concerned. My father died 10 years ago, and my 70-year-old mother is in poor health, but it is difficult to adapt to the life in the city. He and his younger brother, who also work in Jinan, had to take turns to visit.

  The villagers said that their family is a real person. Wang Zhibao looks forward to working in the city every day, and works sincerely. Even if his income is meager, his worries drift lightly, and he turns back and forth between his hometown and rented house, year after year. Their daughter will go to primary school next year. According to Jinan’s policy, migrant children must meet the condition that both parents pay social security for one year. There is nothing wrong with Han Ping’s social security. However, Wang Zhibao worked in Jinan for 15 years, but never paid social security … …

  I don’t know how his sorrow fell this time.

After 90, the doctoral supervisor sent 60 SCI papers in five years, which led to doubts and the research group responded.

  Recently, Hu Yue, associate professor and doctoral supervisor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, has caused a heated discussion because he published 60 SCI papers in five years.

  According to the teacher’s personal homepage of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Hu Yue received a bachelor’s degree in applied chemistry from East China University of Science and Technology in 2012 and a doctorate in chemistry from Edinburgh University in 2016.

  In the same year, she joined Wuhan Photoelectric National Research Center of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and has been engaged in theoretical and experimental research of photovoltaic materials for solar cells for a long time.

  In self-introduction, Hu Yue mentioned that in the past five years, she has published more than 60 SCI papers, including 21 papers by the first correspondent, including 1 paper by Science, 1 paper by Joule and 1 paper by Advanced Materials. At present, there are 2 highly cited papers on ESI.

  Nine groups of journalists found that in the statistical table of journal impact factors released in June this year, the impact factor of Science was 47.728, that of Joule was 41.248, and that of Advanced Materials was 30.849. Impact factor refers to the frequency with which articles in a periodical are cited in a specific year or period. Generally speaking, the higher the impact factor, the greater the influence of the journal.

  Some netizens said that before Hu Yue joined Huazhong University of Science and Technology, there were only four papers by the first author, and one paper was output on average one month after joining the company, and his paper was suspected of "irrigation".

  "Our teacher didn’t do anything wrong, but the mistake was too much exposure." On the afternoon of December 13th, han hongwei, the leader of Hu Yue’s research group and professor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, responded to the reporter.

  "Our research group has a large number of people and published many articles, which has caused some misunderstandings." Han hongwei said.

  The leader of the research group responded: The mistake is that there is too much exposure.

  "We didn’t expect the heat to be so high, and this matter was misinterpreted." Han hongwei said.

  His office is next door to Hu Yue. On December 13th, he answered the phone all afternoon and walked in a hurry. Referring to Hu Yue, he said angrily, "Our teacher didn’t do anything wrong, but the mistake was too much exposure."

  On December 8th, a post-90s doctoral supervisor was often recognized as a "teacher elder sister"! The introduction is very eye-catching! The article was reprinted by many media, allowing Hu Wei to enter the public eye. While gaining praise, Hu Yue’s resume also sparked heated discussion.

  In the article, Hu Yue said that her grandfather graduated from Zhejiang University with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree, and she has been engaged in chemical-related work. Her interest in scientific research was enlightened by her grandfather. In 2008, Hu Yue was admitted to the School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of East China University of Science and Technology. In 2009, she joined the team of Academician Tian He and participated in the national innovative experimental program for college students to carry out research on "dye-sensitized solar cells". Therefore, some netizens speculated that Hu Yue relied on his grandfather to obtain academic resources.

  On December 14th, Hu Yue responded in an interview with China Science News that his grandfather was a retired engineer of former Wuhan Chemical Industry Bureau, not an academician of Internet communication. According to public reports, Hu Yue scored 626 points in the college entrance examination that year, ranking first among Hubei candidates admitted by East China University of Science and Technology. With such good grades, she joined the Department of Science and Technology Excellence of East China University of Science and Technology, and had the opportunity to choose Professor Tian He as her tutor.

  On the teacher’s personal homepage of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Hu Yue briefly mentioned that in the past five years, she has published more than 60 SCI papers, including 21 first/correspondent papers. Including 1 science, 1 Joule, 1 advanced materials, 2 advanced energy materials, 2 advanced functional materials, 1 ACS energy letter and 1 energy & environmental science. At present, Google Scholar has cited more than 1,800 times, with an H index of 24, and 2 papers have been selected as highly cited papers in ESI.

  Han hongwei explained why the number of Hu Yue’s articles is as high as 60: "As a teacher of the research group, we will collectively take a group of students to give guidance from different angles and different professional backgrounds. If the teacher contributes, we will write his name in." He added that apart from the first author, co-first author and correspondent, other teachers are only participants, and their contribution may be only 1% or 10%, and they are not responsible for the article.

  According to WeChat official account, the official of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, at present, Hu Yue and Professor han hongwei have jointly trained five doctoral students and five master students independently. Three master students have graduated, two have entered Huawei and one has gone to Zhejiang University for further study.

  "Our research group has a large number of people and published many articles, which has caused some misunderstandings." Han hongwei said.

  He was promoted to associate professor in two years and became a doctoral supervisor in three years.

  "Young" and "excellent" are Hu Yue’s most conspicuous labels. The short film "Chasing the Light — — In Hu Yue, Hu Yue said: "I am an associate professor and doctoral supervisor born in the 1990s. When I first returned to China, many students were even older than me."

  During the undergraduate course, she studied with Professor Hua Jianli of East China University of Science and Technology and Academician Tian He. In the representative papers listed by Professor Hua Jianli in official website, East China University of Science and Technology, Hu Yue’s name appeared in the author list of six papers, and the publishing time was from 2014 to 2017.

  In 2012, after graduating from Hu Yue University, he applied for a full scholarship with excellent results and entered the University of Edinburgh to continue solar cell research. In 2016, Hu Yue received his Ph.D. and joined Huazhong University of Science and Technology through the postdoctoral talent introduction program.

  According to the upstream news report, there are four papers published by Hu Yue in 2016, which are neither the first author nor the correspondent author, and of these four papers, only one is more valuable, but it is not the top publication. Therefore, some netizens think: "At this level, if the postdoctoral experience is not gilded, it is difficult to get a teaching position in a school like Huake."

  In this regard, Hu Yue said in an interview with China Science News that during her doctoral period, she published more than 10 papers, among which 6 were first authors or co-first authors. After graduating from Ph.D., she first entered Huazhong University of Science and Technology as a postdoctoral fellow and stayed at school after leaving the station.

  Official website of Huazhong University of Science and Technology shows that Hu Yue went to Oxford University, London Imperial College London and Lausanne Federal Institute of Technology for cooperation and exchange for one or three months during his doctoral studies.

  After entering Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the number of articles published by Hu Yue increased significantly. The reporter found in Google Academic Search that Hu Yue published 13 papers in 2017.

  In 2018, she and associate professor Rong Guangguang of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Dr. Mei Anyi published a paper as the co-first author, which was published in Science magazine, and the project also won the support of major research plan integration projects and key projects of the National Natural Science Foundation.

  In the same year, Hu Yue was promoted to associate professor and became a doctoral supervisor in 2019.

  The office door is covered with cartoon images.

  At five o’clock on the afternoon of December 13th, the building of Wuhan Optoelectronic National Research Center in the east campus of Huazhong University of Science and Technology was full of busy students.

  In the corridor, five students around the round table discussed the group work fiercely. A black boy wearing headphones came out of the laboratory and stared blankly out of the window. There were four graduate students at the corner of the stairs to define the division of labor for the next project presentation.

  Hu Yue works on the eighth floor. In a row of offices, hers is the most special. The gray door is covered with the image of opening, an orange cat sticker is stuck by the door, and the stills of Naruto are skewed in the center, with two molecular formulas sandwiched between them.

  The reporter found that Hu Yue had only one project practice class recently.

  Liu Yilin (pseudonym), a graduate student at the School of Optoelectronic and Information, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said that Hu Yue spends most of her time in the laboratory, but recently, because of her graduation thesis defense, she rarely appears in this building. "I am not here these days." Liu Yilin said.

  Liu Yilin’s impression of Hu Yue is "tenderness". Because they are not in the same research group, there is not much communication. The only communication between him and Hu Yue was when he defended his graduation thesis last year. At that time, as soon as he showed the results of his paper, Hu Yue asked a question about energy management, but Liu Yilin’s research direction was different from this. He didn’t answer it. "I was very nervous at that time, but the teacher was very gentle and didn’t answer it."

  Opposite Hu Yue’s office is the student office, where several graduate students work. The computer screen of the girl sitting at the door is covered with experimental pictures, and there are unfinished English papers in the document.

  A student from other research groups told reporters that she had read online queries and hoped not to interview Mr. Hu. "Teacher Hu is usually very kind to us."

Regarding the prevention of influenza, WHO’s latest recommendation of influenza vaccine strains in 2024-2025.

Foreword

Influenza virus can cause seasonal influenza, and may even cause a pandemic outbreak. Influenza virus is a negative-strand RNA virus with complex classification, numerous subtypes and easy mutation. At present, it is recognized that the best way to prevent influenza is vaccination. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the vaccine, the World Health Organization (WHO) updates the composition of the vaccine strain every year.

Changes of influenza vaccine strains in the northern hemisphere in 2024-2025

In order to keep the vaccine effective, it is necessary to update the components of influenza virus vaccine regularly. After analyzing the global influenza virus epidemiology, etiology and vaccine serology, WHO announced the recommendation of influenza vaccine components in the northern hemisphere from 2024 to 2025 on February 23, 2024.

?

Trivalent chicken embryo culture vaccine

an A/Victoria/4897/2022 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus

an A/Thailand/8/2022 (H3N2) -like virus

a B/Austria/1359417/2021 (B/Victoria lineage)-like virus

?

Trivalent cell culture or recombinant protein vaccine

an A/Wisconsin/67/2022 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus

an A/Massachusetts/18/2022 (H3N2)-like virus

a B/Austria/1359417/2021 (B/Victoria lineage)-like virus

?

Tetravalent chicken embryo and cell culture or recombinant protein vaccine

The following components are added on the basis of trivalent vaccine

a B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B/Yamagata lineage)-like virus

Since March 2020, the naturally occurring B/Yamagata virus has not been confirmed. WHO thinks that it is not necessary to use B/Yamagata virus as a component of influenza vaccine, and it should be removed from the component of influenza vaccine. Where tetravalent vaccine is still used, the composition of B/Yamagata line is consistent with the previous recommendation.

Comparing the composition of influenza vaccine in the northern hemisphere from 2023 to 2024, it was found that the change of composition was mainly due to the difference of H3N2 virus strains:

Vaccine types

2023-2024

2024-2025

Trivalent chicken embryo culture vaccine

A/Darwin/9/2021 (H3N2)-like virus

A/Thailand/8/2022 (H3N2) -like virus

Trivalent cell culture or recombinant protein vaccine

A/Darwin/9/2021 (H3N2)-like virus

A/Massachusetts/18/2022 (H3N2)-like virus

Recombinant antigen is the key material for vaccine research.
