Wang Baoqiang has an attitude of acceptance and gratitude for everything given by the audience. No one thought highly of him as an actor, but he did it; No one believed that he could still lead a good show, but he did.

"Stupid Root" reminds people of the standard Wang Baoqiang smile: eight neat teeth, a pair of dimples and three lines in the corner of the eye. Times have changed, but now when I laugh, there seems to be a gap between the two front teeth, and the dimples are covered by the folds of the skin. The original shallow lines in the three lines have deepened, and new shallow lines have appeared.

Wang Baoqiang’s "Xiang Tenghui" in the movie "The Octagonal Cage" is very different from his previous classic roles. He mostly smiles, and there are several times of "fake smiles". There are only a handful of happy smiles, which are not 100% "standard".

These smiles are not from the so-called "true feelings" or "flashes of light", but from his conscious performance. "Laughing is definitely conscious, and you can’t laugh indiscriminately. It is the expression of the inner feelings of the characters and the expression of the relationship between the characters, and so is crying."

It is the consciousness that a professional actor should have to know where the characters are and what kind of feelings they should use to present and show them.

This is obviously what he didn’t have when he was a fledgling 20 years ago. Even though "The Blind Well" and "world without thieves" won recognition from both inside and outside the industry, it must be admitted that he performed more according to the director’s instructions at that time, with many elements of true feelings and sudden inspiration.

Wang Baoqiang is conscious of his maturity in performance.

Hello in 2009! On the day when Mr. Tree was finished, Wang Baoqiang, who was still immersed in the role, said with a smile: "In the future, the role of Mr. Tree will definitely become a classic and a case of a performance textbook." One side of Han Jie heart way, words so full, gaffes in the future he is not responsible for the director.

《Hello！ Still photos of Mr. Tree.

Over the past ten years, more than 70,000 people have scored full marks for this film on Douban, and some people call it Wang Baoqiang’s "Godly Work" and "The Peak of Acting". From this, Han Jie thought that Wang Baoqiang was not complacent, "it all stems from his belief after he went all out to create".

"The meaning of living in this life"

Wang Baoqiang’s belief began with a kind of consciousness at the beginning of his life.

When he was born, Shaolin Temple starring Jet Li came out. At the age of remembering, Wang Baoqiang, inspired by the movie hero Jue Yuan, wanted to go to Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts. "After learning martial arts, you can make a movie and play a role. Wow! Then who saw it in the village? My father and mother have more face, right? That is fantasy. "

His father sent him to Xingtai Railway Station by bike and watched him "leave it alone" after getting on the bus. After arriving in Zhengzhou, Wang Baoqiang transferred to the bus to Dengfeng, but was seriously carsick due to poor road conditions and car conditions. "I vomited all the way, and the bile in my stomach was spit out. When I got there, I was almost half dead."

Now Wang Baoqiang said with a smile that his carsickness may have been cured in Shaolin Temple. Practicing not only changed his physique, but also exercised his will. For him, the sacredness of Shaolin Temple lies in that it allowed him to find his own "way out of the future" and strengthened his initial heart and dreams.

"I think people have to have their own dreams, which may be just one direction, but it allows you to fight and work hard for it. If you don’t have a dream, where to work hard and where to fight? " Dreams are the source of his energy and pride, and "the meaning of living in this life".

Young Wang Baoqiang.

Later, more and more people knew the story of Wang Baoqiang realizing his dream as an actor. Some people regard him as a symbol of the times and put a crown like "civilian hero" on his head.

Wang Baoqiang won’t be under pressure because of these grand statements. He feels that the pressure is not on others, but on himself. "What kind of yourself do you want to be? In this process, in fact, I have always lived in my own rhythm. "

Playing martial arts, he understands that he must practice the basic skills firmly in order to challenge difficult movements such as turning and somersault. Doing business is the same. Therefore, whether acting or starting a business, he has his own rhythm and way, which may be relatively slow, but he is confident that every step is solid.

In this way, Wang Baoqiang went to great success. Since 2003, he has created many characters that are deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and also made the public remember the standard Wang Baoqiang smile.

In 2015, Wang Baoqiang was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the Hong Kong Film Awards, and people expect to see more possibilities of him as an actor. But for him, acting alone seems to be no longer enough to exert his creativity, and it is no longer enough for him to pass on his experiences and ideas along the way to the audience.

Wang Baoqiang thinks that only by being a director can we have enough initiative to express ourselves. His first directorial work, Make a Big Scene in Tianzhu, started shooting. Two producers found Han Jie and asked him to determine the itinerary as soon as possible, and to help Wang Baoqiang sit in the Indian town, "even if it was to accompany him for a director’s journey".

Poster of "Make a scene in Tianzhu".

The filming process was more difficult than expected. Han Jie remembers that Wang Baoqiang, who worked under high pressure, seldom laughed outside the camera and even cried in front of him.

In 2017, the film was released, and the box office performance was satisfactory, but the word of mouth was not ideal. Wang Baoqiang knew that this huge failure would be the beginning and tied to his career as a director forever. His smile when he promised the audience with the "Golden Broom Award" in his hand was also frozen forever by the camera.

After years, people came to their senses. The bitterness in Wang Baoqiang’s smile came not only from the failure of his works, but also from the injury of the people closest to him.

"Why didn’t the first work be so successful, and the second one chose such a theme instead of something that people might think you are better at?" Faced with such doubts, Wang Baoqiang gave the answer with "In the Octagonal Cage".

In the middle and late July, 2023, Wang Baoqiang finally ended the national roadshow of "The Octagonal Cage" for more than one month and returned to Beijing for an exclusive interview with New Weekly. Faced with this question, he replied without hesitation: "I think this is what I am good at."

Illuminate the reality of "changing your life against the sky"

Wang Baoqiang was grateful for the "messy" first work six years ago, because the failure made him reflect, "Let me think and ponder about my self-knowledge and judgment in all aspects". The result of reflection is to create a realistic film, and the story is based on the incident of "fighting orphans".

The story of the children in the mountains "changing their lives against the fate" by fighting is like a reflection from other places, illuminating Wang Baoqiang’s past with the film "changing their lives against the fate". This fateful similarity has aroused his resonance to the greatest extent. However, when this kind of resonance turns into expression desire, it is inevitable to worry about the necessary objectivity in creation.

Poster of octagonal cage.

"Will there be?" Wang Baoqiang self-examination, "in fact, relatively speaking, I am still relatively calm, because the preparation time is sufficient. Second, I know what I want and what I want to express, so this time I am very confident. "

But when the film first faced the audience at the Shanghai International Film Festival, Wang Baoqiang was still so nervous that he stayed up all night. He is worried that everyone’s high points are not on the same channel as himself-all creators are easy to get into such a dilemma.

Wang Baoqiang tried to get out of the predicament with the help of external forces, but he found that everyone has different perspectives and ideas. The best advice is to "be the truest self"-there is no absolute right or wrong in movies. "The most important thing is how to shoot your own style, how to make the audience feel substituted and empathetic".

Therefore, "sincerity" has become the atmosphere throughout Wang Baoqiang’s creation. Under its infection, everyone in the crew grew up more or less.

The little actor in the film is Wang Baoqiang and the team "one in Dongshan and one in Xishan". In order to show the relationship between the characters needed for the plot, they were arranged to live together as soon as they entered the group. Children will quarrel and fight. Some children are born with children’s heads, while others need to be protected.

Stills of "octagonal cage"

"These children were a little stiff at first. Later, after letting go, one child recognized the makeup elder sister as a dopted mother, and he didn’t want to leave after he liked it. Being on the crew is the first time the child has seen the world. It’s so happy to see so many people together. It’s so happy. "

Wang Baoqiang was also very happy when he recalled these things. He smiled and sighed "Oh, Oh", just like a parent, who was happy to witness the changes of children. "I think it is more fun for everyone to be together. When they see the happy time of children, they are also sensible and know that this opportunity is hard-won."

Wang Baoqiang didn’t put the so-called flow in the first place when choosing the actors when the children grew up. "Because of the tonality and genre of this film, it is not suitable for finding big stars, but it will make the audience jump. To truly let the audience feel your sincerity, it is necessary to come down in one continuous line, and the audience is more likely to be substituted by stories, plots and characters. "

Three young actors, Chen Yongsheng, Shi Pengyuan and Zhang Yiyun, were a little tight when they first joined the group, especially in some heavy scenes. Wang Baoqiang remembers that he mobilized his experience as an actor at that time, patiently giving them advice, eating and chatting, and waiting for them to relax before entering the role.

Chen Yongsheng acted as a careless adult.

Wang Baoqiang can’t remember the other details of the set now. He has to direct and act. "Most of the time he is at work, and he is also precipitated in filming, with everyone."

Wang Baoqiang also works as a screenwriter this time, because he found that every screenwriter has his own set of logic. "Everyone has his own lovely place and his own place to learn from, but because this is Wang Baoqiang’s work, you must be uncomfortable taking pictures of others."

In order to be competent for many duties other than being an actor, Wang Baoqiang was naturally not idle in those years. But he doesn’t want to list what he has learned, practiced and done, and he doesn’t want to describe the difficulties. He believes the audience can feel it from the film.

"To turn over a few somersaults, said I didn’t practice at ordinary times, who believe? I fell down when I turned’ pa’. You said that I practiced every day. Who believes it? " Wang Baoqiang smiled and compared the painting. "It’s one minute on the stage and ten years under the stage. When you put it here, you will know what you have done behind you. If you haven’t practiced, learned or done anything, you will know."

"This tone has always been with"

The difficulties encountered in filming "The Octagonal Cage" are no less than those encountered in filming "Make a scene in Tianzhu", and some hurdles are even more difficult to overcome than any in the past. For example, the problem of funds, "It’s expensive to make a movie, just throw money in it and spend money every day", so Wang Baoqiang has to spend money on the cutting edge.

He believes that "you get what you want at a price" and "a competent team" can not only help you present what you want, but also provide more creativity. Since he had to take on the job of producer, he tried his best to invite such a team under pressure. So the audience saw many famous names in the credits, from actors to the cast.

"Because this play is really very difficult," Wang Baoqiang said with a smile, "I tried my best, and I kept holding my breath, and then I overcame all kinds of difficulties myself and made this play and brought it to the audience. It is true that everything is hard-won, and it has been helped by many friends. It is really touching. "

Not everyone who has failed has the ability to turn around against the wind, but it seems that people believe that Wang Baoqiang can. Although he has confidence in this creation, he still feels that the fact that everyone is willing to help him is "very interesting".

At different stages of Wang Baoqiang’s acting career, many predecessors have helped and supported him. He regards mutual help and assistance in this industry as "inheritance" and hopes that he can help his aspiring peers and pass on his love and energy.

Stills of "octagonal cage"

"In fact, people who can really come out have great love, and they don’t say that they are going to compare or what. Everyone just hopes that the peers in the film and television industry are good, and then they can drive the whole market, and then they also hope to see the younger generation who have the heart to struggle and be driven. "

Wang Baoqiang is not always so lucky in interpersonal communication. After being cheated and even betrayed, he still forced himself to become a "social cow". "You are afraid of others hurting you and being used by others, but don’t forget that you still have many friends worthy of communication."

As a public figure, he understands the purpose of others when they associate with him. On the other hand, he cannot guarantee that he has no purpose when he associates with others. He told himself not to be afraid, because everything is a double-edged sword, don’t think too well of it, and don’t think too pessimistically.

Life still has to go through some, in order to break the inner fear and make yourself mature. "You can’t disappear just because you are a public figure. You strangle yourself too tightly and die too much, and that life is too boring. I still have to live. "

In the octagonal cage, Xiang Tenghui thinks about life when he is stuck in a traffic jam, and is stimulated by the sudden change of face of Sichuan Opera. In life, Wang Baoqiang rarely thinks about anything else when it comes to traffic jams. "It’s a terrible traffic jam. Can you hurry up?" I want to have a smooth journey. "

Stills of "octagonal cage"

Before the beginning, Wang Baoqiang relied on himself for everything, and his life skills were full; After his success, his creation occupied most of his energy, so that he became an "idiot" in life, "I don’t know anything, I can’t remember anything". He thinks this is not good, and he has to return to life and the masses.

Wang Baoqiang dedicated The Octagonal Cage to the masses, who responded with enthusiasm and praise. He knows that today’s success is not for no reason, and the efforts and painstaking efforts contained in it are only known to himself and a few relatives and friends around him.

"Of course, I think this will show your greatness and your own energy." Wang Baoqiang’s quiet face burst into a smile. "That is to say, after six years, I fought back again. I felt that I was out of breath before, and I lost my points quickly. I turned red again through this play, because you did it."

Wang Baoqiang thought at that time, if we had worked hard and learned what we should have learned, and we couldn’t put everything into it, there was nothing we could do but make money to pay off our debts and put an end to our career as a director for the time being. But anyway, it’s worth the risk.

Of course, he can’t be completely unsure. He has a basic judgment on the quality of a work.

On this basis, it is enough for him to do what he should do with the team and make a good film in a down-to-earth manner. He can’t control everyone’s attitude, and he shouldn’t.

"Tolerance, tolerance, or targeting, or what? I think these are the audience, and there is nothing wrong with the audience. I think the audience is always right, because he spends money to see your movie, and he has his own freedom and right to judge. "

Stills of "octagonal cage"

Wang Baoqiang has an attitude of acceptance and gratitude for everything given by the audience, including the label of "grassroots", which is what he and Xiang Tenghui have in common. "Even if you come all the way, you will be indomitable. Perseverance is a kind of spirit, a kind of strength, and the strength of not admitting defeat and not accepting fate. "

No one thought highly of him as an actor, but he did it; No one believed that he could still lead a good show, but he did. To be a grassroots representative in everyone’s eyes, "it’s not up to you, but if you achieve a certain degree, (everyone) will naturally give it to you."

Wang Baoqiang has always been so realistic. "He doesn’t speak in words, but proves himself by his actions.".

Musk revealed that he had been assassinated twice.

Elon musk, CEO of Tesla, recently revealed on social media that he had suffered two assassination attempts in the past eight months. The two incidents were independent of each other. When the suspect was arrested, he was near Tesla’s headquarters in Texas and was found carrying a gun. Musk also mentioned at the recent Tesla shareholders’ meeting that the assassination risk in the United States is on the rise. He compared his situation with the late Beatle John Lennon and emphasized the potential threats faced by public figures. Musk revealed that he had been assassinated twice.

At the same time, Musk’s social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) encountered regulatory challenges in Europe. The European Commission accused it of violating the Digital Services Law and may face a fine of up to 6% of the global annual turnover. Musk is tit for tat, not only refusing to accept punishment, but also accusing the EU of trying to reach an "illegal secret agreement" with it, requiring the platform to privately review the content to avoid fines, while the X platform refused to participate in such transactions. Musk vowed to confront the EU through legal channels to ensure the openness and transparency of information and safeguard the freedom of speech of platform users. On the other hand, the EU insists that its actions comply with the law and aim to protect the security and fairness of the network environment.

At this stage, when it comes to new energy vehicles, everyone will always subjectively put the models of their own brands at a high level and the products of joint venture brands or even luxury brands at a low level.

It can only be said that the rapid development of independent brands in the field of new energy in recent years is beyond doubt, and their level is indeed high now. However, in the joint venture camp, not all new energy products created by brands are backward. For example, the EV5 launched by Kia, a Korean car company, is a model with relatively good comprehensive product strength.

We should judge the comprehensive strength of a product from the positioning of the car itself and its corresponding usage scenarios. It happened that Xiaobian had tested the Kia EV5 (picture | configuration | inquiry) in depth before. Today, I will share with you the actual performance of this car.

Kia EV5 is positioned as a pure electric compact SUV, combined with its unified front-drive single motor layout, it is not difficult to see that this car owner is playing a short-distance ride, and the main scene is daily home commuting. Such product positioning will obviously have a higher test for the practicality of Kia EV5.

First of all, the space, the length, width and height of KIA EV5 are 4615x1875x1715mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm. As far as Xiaobian’s actual front and rear row riding experience is concerned, the space of this car is relatively good at this level, and the front and rear rows are relatively spacious, which is quite surprising.

In addition, KIA EV5 has many detailed designs based on practical attributes, such as the sitting design of the front driver and passenger, the small hook in the B-pillar area of the car, the front trunk with a certain capacity and the trunk with external discharge and anchor hook. All in all, KIA EV5 will make you feel the practical understanding of this car in detail, and also make the space as large as possible under the limited size of compact SUV.

Let’s talk about the performance at the configuration level. Kia EV5 is available in six different versions, which can be simply divided into the low, medium and high configuration version of the long battery life version and the low, medium and high configuration version of the standard battery life version. The configuration and price differences between the versions will be quite large. It is mainly reflected in active and passive safety, assisted driving and comfort configuration. The low-middle models are generally configured in these aspects, and the level of assisted driving is relatively low. The high-middle models will be rich and can reach L2 level, and functions such as automatic parking are also matched.

However, in terms of intelligent interconnection, the configuration of each version of the car is the same, providing the original car and CarPlay/CarLife. The whole system supports functions such as voice recognition of the main and auxiliary driving zones.

All in all, the performance of KIA EV5 in terms of configuration can only be considered quite satisfactory, and there is a big difference between low allocation and high allocation, which is also the consistent strategy of joint venture car companies.

Finally, share with you the dynamic performance of this car. KIA EV5 all uses the multi-link suspension structure before McPherson, which is a common configuration at this price and this level. However, the overall adjustment of the suspension will be more mature. When the speed is lower than 80km/h during actual driving, the support is basically sufficient, and the efficiency of vibration filtering is also relatively high. It is basically a trip to overcome the pit and hurdle, and the experience is good. However, if the speed is faster, such a suspension will be somewhat overwhelmed by the curb weight of 2030kg (long life version) and the efficiency will be reduced.

In terms of power, the maximum power of 218Ps and the peak torque of 310N·m, combined with the characteristics of electric drive, the acceleration of the front and middle sections is relatively good, and with the small body size, it feels a bit like a steel gun when driving. In terms of driving texture, the performance of this car can give a high score.

In addition, KIA EV5 provides a version that can run 720km under CLTC and is equipped with 88.1kWh battery, and a version that can run 530km under CLTC and is equipped with 64.2kWh battery.

Write it at the end

To sum up, KIA EV5 is remarkable for its spacious space, practical detail design, abundant power reserve and excellent driving feeling. Compared with domestic models of the same level, I think the advantages of this car lie in its utilization of space, ingenious design and more advanced adjustment of suspension level. If there is an opportunity, Xiaobian personally recommends that you try this car.

As for why KIA EV5 is so popular and its sales volume is mediocre in the case of distinctive personality and good product strength, Xiao Bian thinks that the main problem lies in the price. At present, the entry threshold of KIA EV5 is 149,800 yuan, but the model that can be bought at this price is a low-profile version, and the overall experience will not be very good. If you want to get a higher configuration experience or have higher requirements for battery life, the budget will be at least 170,000 yuan.

At this stage, spending 170,000 yuan to buy a compact pure electric SUV is indeed something that most consumers will not do. Therefore, Xiao Bian thinks that if Kia EV5 can give a cash discount of 20,000-30,000, the overall cost performance will be much higher. Of course, if the budget allows and there is a car purchase plan, it will not go wrong to take KIA EV5 into consideration, and the car experience it can bring you will not be too bad.

　　Speaking of automobile oil, I believe everyone is familiar with it. However, familiarity does not mean that you really understand it. In fact, those things about oil are not simple!

　　Engine oil is also called lubricating oil. If the engine is compared to the heart of a car, engine oil is the blood of the car. Its main functions are lubrication impairment, cleaning, sealing and leakage prevention, rust prevention and corrosion prevention, cooling and damping.

　　At present, the market can be simply divided into mineral oil and synthetic oil according to the different base oils. Synthetic oil can be subdivided into semi-synthetic oil and fully synthetic oil. Mineral oil has the lowest price and the worst performance; Fully synthetic oil has the highest price and the best performance. Theoretically, all vehicles are suitable for fully synthetic oil, but considering the cost of vehicles and the use environment, it is generally recommended that:

　　1. Cars or SUVs with a price of more than 200,000 yuan use fully synthetic oil. Because of its excellent aging resistance, the oil change cycle can be extended to 10,000 kilometers.

　　2. Family cars with a price of 100,000-200,000 yuan are usually used for commuting, using semi-synthetic oil, and the oil change cycle is generally 7,500 kilometers.

　　3. If it is a taxi, a used car or even a vehicle with an engine overhauled, mineral oil can be used, but it should be noted that the shortest oil change cycle is within 5,000 kilometers.

　　In addition to the type of engine oil, you can also choose engine oil according to the engine oil label, of which SAE label is the most commonly used.

　　When you get a bucket of engine oil, look at the lower right corner of the bottle. This "5W-40" is the SAE label, which indicates the viscosity grade of the engine oil. Among them, "W" is the abbreviation of winter, and the number in front of W represents the fluidity of engine oil at low temperature. The smaller this number is, the better the fluidity of engine oil at low temperature, and the better the protection of engine when the vehicle is cold started. Generally speaking, there are four grades of engine oil, namely, 0w, 5w, 10w and 15w, which respectively indicate the minimum working temperature of -35℃, -30℃, -25℃ and -20℃. In other words, if you live in the northeast, choose 0w engine oil to meet your winter use. If you are in Beijing, 5w or 10w engine oil can meet your needs. In addition, the low-temperature viscosity grade is only needed for northerners to buy engine oil, but it is generally not considered in southern cities.

　　40 in "5W-40" indicates the high temperature viscosity grade of engine oil. Generally speaking, there are four high-temperature viscosity grades of engine oil: 20, 30, 40 and 60. The higher the high-temperature viscosity grade, the more viscous the engine oil will be, and the better the engine protection will be when it works at high temperature. If it is a new car or a Japanese and Korean brand car, then you should choose a thinner engine oil; If it is a large-displacement or turbocharged car, it is more suitable to choose a thicker engine oil.

　　In a word, the smaller the number before W, the better, and the bigger the number after W, the better.

　　When it comes to Britain, I believe many fans will think of the car culture event Goodwood Racing Festival and the famous TV program TopGear. As the birthplace of industrial civilization, Britain also has many famous car brands. However, with the passage of time, many British automobile brands are almost sold out today, and they are interpreting the British style in a brand-new way.

　　Just like Rolls-Royce and MINI are to BMW; Bentley to the public; Jaguar and Land Rover are to Tata; Lotus and Britain are to Geely … … MG (MG) is also under the management of SAIC. This British brand, which was born in 1924, has gone through 95 years of ups and downs. In 2018, under the wave of "new four modernizations", SAIC MG launched the first pure electric vehicle — — MG ZS pure electric. The first media dynamic experience of this new car was carried out in Britain, the birthplace of its brand. There are two reasons,First of all, MG ZS pure electric is based on more stringent European standards; Secondly, MG ZS pure electric will be sold to many countries and regions around the world, including ten European countries, Thailand and so on, and it is a veritable global ESUV.

PS: The official Chinese name of this new car is ZS pure electric, and the overseas version is MG EZS.

　　Before the official start of this article, let’s briefly understand the general situation of SAIC MG in the UK.

　　As an old industrial country, Britain has a very mature automobile market and consumer groups. This is also the biggest difference from China. British consumers often vote with their feet to eliminate those automobile products that should not appear here.

　　With a history of nearly 100 years, SAIC MG has a certain popularity and reputation among consumers in the UK. At present,SAIC MG sells three models of MG GS, MG3 and MG ZS in the UK.Although the total sales volume can’t compete with the first-line brands in the world at present, only MG achieved a contrarian growth of 103.76% under the overall downward trend of the British automobile market last year. It can be seen that MG has not only won a place in the British auto market, but also its development momentum is good.

　　SAIC has two design centers in Birmingham and London, which play an indispensable role in the development of ZS pure electric products. Including the research of pre-brand design language, the calibration of battery system, the research and development of European standard charging system, the road adaptability verification in Europe, the road test and the certification of pure electric vehicles in the UK, etc.

　　Why do you want a road test in Europe?

　　MG ZS pure electric vehicle is a pure electric vehicle developed for the global market, which will be exported to ten European countries including Britain, France, Germany, Norway, Belgium, Spain and other countries in the world, such as Thailand. Therefore, it should follow the REACH and E-MARK regulations of the European Union. Since the standards of EU in environmental protection, safety, energy saving and quality are higher than the national standards, it is necessary to calibrate the vehicle indicators according to the EU standards. However, the calibration of parameters is based on a large number of actual data, so data collection and testing on the actual roads in Europe is a model.facing to the worldAn indispensable link in the product development process.

　　How to conduct a road test?

　　According to the product manager of MG, there are 8 cars in the European road test at the same time. According to the market situation of each country, these 8 cars will be assigned to different countries, and a total of 1,000 hours of effective data collection will be completed. At present, the stage we are going through is the initial data collection, which will last about 3 months. The collected data will be packaged and sent to Shanghai for analysis and calibration, and then returned to Europe for the full-function test of vehicles for about 2 months. The total duration of the road test in Europe is about 4-5 months.

　　What road test projects are there?

　　There are a lot of data and items that need to be collected for the road test, and we participated in it this time.Collaborative data acquisition between ADAS camera and vehicleandMulti-road adaptability test of three-power systemTwo items. In addition, what needs to be done isAdaptability optimization of chassis system, vehicle process quality, and software optimization under various complex working conditions.Testing and data collection in other aspects.

　　●ADAS camera and vehicle collaborative data acquisition

　　In terms of active safety, European standards have stricter regulations on ADAS system’s autonomous steering, active braking and AVAS low-speed warning sound system, and vehicles under European standards must be equipped with emergency call system to rescue members in time in case of accidents. In terms of passive safety, the European standard requires all seats to be equipped with seat belts without reminding function.

　　Based on European standards, it is particularly necessary to collect the test data of ADAS system in the early stage. In the data acquisition process, British testers drive vehicles, and collect information through millimeter-wave radar at the front of the car and visual camera attached to the front windshield. For other traffic participants on the road, record the decisions made by the system and the corresponding collaborative data.

　　These collected data will be displayed in the car computer in real time and saved at the same time, so as to be taken to Shanghai for item-by-item analysis in the later stage, and the ADAS system will be optimized and debugged according to a large number of collected data.

　　● Multi-road adaptability test of three power systems

　　The other is the data collection of the three-electricity system, such as the discharge and output power of the vehicle under different road conditions, and the state of the three-electricity system under the climatic conditions in Europe. Engineers will balance and optimize the vehicle according to the collected data in order to achieve an optimal state.

On May 30th, Nanjing Newspaper Media Group and Jiangsu Business Daily jointly held a "Public Welfare Lecture on Electric Vehicle Safety Science Popularization" in Nanjing. In this lecture, the Nanjing Fire Rescue Detachment and the Mobile Brigade of the Traffic Management Bureau of Nanjing Public Security Bureau were specially invited to have in-depth exchanges on topics such as how to improve the fire safety awareness of electric bicycles and popularize the safe use norms of electric bicycles from three aspects: products, fire protection and travel.

As a participant in the industry and a leading enterprise of intelligent electric two-wheeled vehicles in China, Company No.9 is actively fulfilling its corporate social responsibility while promoting the intelligent transformation of the whole industry through technological innovation, and working together with local fire departments, traffic control departments, market supervision departments, etc., by popularizing the safety of electric vehicles, it advocates users not to modify and travel safely, and makes unremitting efforts to create a safe and healthy travel environment and promote the long-term sustainable development of the whole industry.

In fact, China is one of the countries with the largest number of electric bicycles in the world. Up to now, the number of electric bicycles in China has exceeded 400 million, with an average of one in every four people, and it is still in an incremental state. Electric bicycles have become an important part of China’s transportation system. Therefore, ensuring the safety of electric bicycles, to some extent, is to help the industry move towards a healthier and longer-term future. In this context, from the new national standard "Technical Specification for Safety of Electric Bicycles" (GB 17761-2018) issued in 2019 to the "Technical Specification for Safety of Lithium-ion Batteries for Electric Bicycles" (GB 43854—2024) published in May this year, the relevant policy standards and industry specifications have become more and more perfect, from the emphasis on vehicle safety to battery safety.

As the fastest-growing brand of electric two-wheeled vehicle in the industry in recent years, No.9 Company has subverted the traditional riding experience, and its integrated intelligence and highly recognizable appearance design are the main factors for users to choose No.9, but the more important point is that No.9 always takes user value as the center, attaches great importance to user safety, and has developed a series of practical functions for this purpose, so as to truly reassure users. For example, Company No.9 can provide more than 20 battery protection measures such as double over-current, short-circuit and over-voltage protection for batteries through the self-developed BMS intelligent battery management system, and the self-developed vehicle networking system can monitor each battery in real time to realize different levels of battery risk warning; Intelligent functions such as TCS traction control system, linear ABS anti-lock braking system and RSC tail-lifting suppression system ensure users’ riding safety; Intelligent ride induction based on No.9 true intelligent system can effectively prevent the risk of car jumping, while AHRS attitude induction system can realize the alarm of vehicle change and dumping, and actively notify emergency contacts of accidents.

It is worth mentioning that Company No.9 is also actively promoting the safety of electric bicycle vehicles with relevant departments based on its extensive market influence and more than 5,400 stores nationwide. Previously, Company No.9, together with Beijing Haidian District Market Supervision Administration and Beijing Blue Sky Rescue Team, held many activities such as "Safe Entry of Electric Vehicles into the Community", distributed more than 10,000 copies of the Safety Manual for Two-wheeled Electric Vehicles to users, and provided free vehicle inspection and maintenance services to thousands of users, and answered questions for users more than 10,000 times online and offline.

Of course, in the face of the big issue of the safe use of electric vehicles, in addition to the need for enterprises to set an example and fulfill the main responsibilities of the market, it is also necessary for users to use electric vehicles correctly and standardly. Mei Liang, a first-class assistant in the Press and Publicity Department of Nanjing Fire and Rescue Detachment, combined with the case of electric bicycle fire in recent years, stressed that in daily use of electric bicycles, it is necessary to regularly check whether the lines are aging, not to charge indoors, and call the police in time if any abnormal situation is found. Yang Zhihao, secretary-general of the Working Committee of Nanjing Traffic Management Bureau, called on users to abide by traffic regulations and ride safely, and not to modify electric bicycles privately to avoid traffic accidents caused by illegal operations. In addition, Jiangsu Business Daily, together with Nanjing Fire and Rescue Team, Nanjing Traffic Management Bureau and No.9 Company, jointly issued the Manual for Safe Use of Electric Bicycles, which provides a comprehensive specification for the safe use of electric bicycles.

In the eyes of the industry, the gradual improvement and refinement of regulatory policies is the leading condition to promote the progress of the industry, and ensuring the safety of electric vehicles is the core to determine the long-term healthy development of the industry. In this regard, it is necessary for users to cultivate and establish the awareness of safe use of electric vehicles, and it is also necessary for enterprises to continuously improve the quality of electric bicycle products through technological innovation and high-standard production, so as to protect the safety of users from the source.
