An old photo: On July 24, 2013, the 89-year-old former U.S. President George H.W. Bush was cooling off, and his 2-year-old son Patrick, a security officer, was coming.
Bush Sr. told Patrick, "We're all born skinheads. You need to heal well. ”
Eagle Eye Observation: This society doesn't need to put on a show, what is needed is mutual respect from the heart.

1. Ministry of Finance: In 2023, about 1 trillion yuan will be allocated for basic pension insurance subsidies, with a focus on some central and western regions and old industrial bases.
Eagle Eye Observation: No matter what kind of subsidies, transfer payments, etc., are inclined to the central and western regions and the northeast region, it can be seen that the economic gap is still relatively large.
I have an idea about this, why not set up the window of opening up to the outside world and some preferential policies in these areas that need greater development, but continue to increase the already relatively wealthy places?
Back then, Shenzhen was just a small fishing village. Moreover, Europe, the United States and the West have flown thousands of miles to China for investment and tourism, but in fact, there is not much difference between going to Hainan, Pudong, and Guangzhou and Shenyang, Lanzhou, and Yinchuan, right? Each has its own characteristics and advantages, and the key is that the hidden driving role of the central and western regions is greater!
2. During the Spring Festival holiday, tourists skyrocketed, and a lot of mobile phones fell in West Lake!
The salvage rod of "West Lake Fishing Brother" has existed for more than ten years, to say the least. Countless tourists have recovered mobile phones, cameras, glasses, ID cards, room cards, car keys, and even strollers in the West Lake!
Eagle Eye Observation: A few days ago, Guangzhou South Railway Station also posted the ID cards picked up during the Spring Festival, which were stacked up to half a person high!
It's normal for people to squeeze people and drop things, but what does it mean to drop ID cards and room cards into the water, do you want to make an appointment for the Water Dragon Palace?
3. The number of emergency visits in Nanjing No. 1 Hospital exceeded 2,000 during the Spring Festival in three days.
Eagle Eye Observation: In addition to perennial diseases, the increase in illness numbers during the Spring Festival is nothing more than caused by eating, drinking, fireworks and firecrackers.
4. The world's top ten selling car companies in 2023 were released: Toyota topped the list with 11.2 million units, 4 Japanese companies and 3 American companies were on the list, and China's BYD was selected for the 9th place with 3.02 million units for the first time.
Eagle Eye Observation: Finally know what it really is to be far ahead!
5. The return air ticket to Sanya during the Spring Festival skyrocketed to 10,000 yuan, and the economy class was "hard to find".
Tourist: The ticket was only 1,000 yuan when I came.
Netizens jokingly said that sky-high air tickets, ferry tickets that can't be grabbed, cars can't get out, people can't go out, it's a scenic spot that costs money, and don't want to leave if the main one comes.
Eagle Eye Observation: Is it like "attracting investment" in some places?
6. In the Kanas Scenic Area of Xinjiang, 2 tourists skied wild snow outside the road without authorization, causing a small avalanche, resulting in 4 snowmen being covered by the avalanche. After emergency rescue, no casualties were caused.
A Chinese girl in Los Angeles hiking alone in a snowy mountain, disappeared for 7 days, and was found by a drone and unfortunately died.
Eagle Eye Observation: Safety, safety, safety, important things said three times! But it doesn't work to say eight hundred times, and everyone is lucky.
7. Customs holiday reminder: Do not help strangers carry luggage at will, or bear legal responsibility.
It is said that someone deliberately asked a stranger to help carry his luggage, but it contained drugs, contraband, and so on, and he would have to bear legal responsibility if he was found.
There are some opinions here, isn't the law "one-size-fits-all"? How can it hurt the "good people and good deeds" of innocent people? I hope to continue to revise and improve the details, so that people will not dare to help others.
8. Tianjin is clear: to break the restrictions of household registration, education, personnel relations, etc., and promote all kinds of talents to come to Tianjin for innovation and entrepreneurship.
Eagle Eye Observation: Tianjin has finally woken up and taken the first step, hoping to seize the opportunity, promote development, and truly play the role of a municipality directly under the central government.
Many restrictive policies such as household registration, education, and social security in various places still insist on taking action step by step, fighting and retreating, and feeling good about themselves, as if there is fragrant food there!
This kind of thinking has long been behind the times, but it is still stubborn and self-righteous, and the local people are anxious, what can be done?
9. When a man in Xuzhou set off firecrackers, he mistakenly threw the gold transfer beads into the river as firecrackers, and then mobilized the whole family to help salvage them.
After cutting off the river, the river was drained, and a number of fish were salvaged, and after a day and a night of fishing, the transfer beads were finally successfully recovered.
Eagle Eye Observation: The transfer beads went to the Water Dragon Palace for a turn, and gave the Dragon King a New Year's greeting?
10. Anji Chao, the sister of former U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao and chairman and CEO of Fumao Group, died in a car accident in the early morning of February 12 at the age of 50.
Eagle Eye Observation: Fumao Group is a world-renowned shipping company, founded by Zhao Xicheng, the "Chinese Ship King", and is the first Western company to order large ships from Chinese shipyards. Zhao Anji is the youngest daughter of Zhao Xicheng, whose ancestral home is Jiading, Shanghai.
11. The French Foreign Minister argued that while NATO's central role as a transatlantic security guarantor is unshakable, Europe must move away from a single dependency and actively build its own "second life insurance", that is, a strong and independent European security system.
Eagle Eye Observation: This is actually the issue of independent European armies that Macron once raised. After all, NATO is controlled by the Americans.
12. At the invitation of Russia's ruling United Russia party, a delegation of the Workers' Party of Korea left Pyongyang for Russia on 12 May to participate in a forum of supporters of the struggle against neocolonialism.
Hawkeye: The two of them are getting closer and closer. Not sure where it will go?
13. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has put the Prime Minister and State Secretary of Estonia, as well as the Minister of Culture of Lithuania on the wanted list.
Kremlin: Wanted for hostile actions against Russia and "desecration of historical memory".
Eagle Eye Watch: Estonian Prime Minister Kallas and his Reform Party are "hardcore supporters" of Ukraine.
Since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, Estonia has provided nearly 500 million euros in military aid to Ukraine and will continue to provide Ukraine with military aid of 0.25% of the country's GDP over the next four years.
14. Egyptian, U.S., Qatari and Israeli officials held a four-party meeting in Cairo to discuss a ceasefire in Gaza, among other issues.
Eagle Eye: Cairo is the capital and largest city of Egypt.
In November 1943, China, the United States, and Britain convened the Cairo Conference, and with Stalin's consent, the Cairo Declaration was promulgated on December 1. The declaration clarified the illegality of Japan's invasion and occupation of Taiwan at the legal level and affirmed that Taiwan is China's territory.
The Cairo Declaration was mainly formed under the impetus of President Roosevelt, and fully contained Roosevelt's strategic wisdom.
The Cairo Conference marked the first time that China participated in an international conference as a world power, and established China's status as one of the four great powers.
It is hoped that the Cairo talks will also clarify some future developments in the Middle East.
15. The U.S. Senate passed a $95 billion foreign military aid bill, mainly involving Ukraine and Israel.
EU: The United States should reduce military aid to Israel.
Eagle Eye Observation: Compared with Israel, the EU is more willing to support Ukraine at its doorstep, in fact, it is mainly afraid of another war of aggression similar to that of fascism.
But the United States is more closely tied to Israel, so Congress is hardly divided about supporting Israel.
16. Ukraine claims that the Russian army uses "Starlink" on the front line, which the Russian side denies.
Musk responded urgently: no Starlink terminals were sold directly or indirectly to Russia.
Eagle Eye Watch: Will Musk be one of the participants in the war in the future?
17. The Japanese stock market soared! The Nikkei 225 index broke through 38,000 points and continued to hit a new high in nearly 34 years.
Since 2024, the index has risen by more than 13%.
Eagle Eye Observation: I often see the rhetoric that the world economy is in a downturn, the risk of recession is dependent, etc., but specifically in some countries such as the United States and Western countries, Vietnam, India, Singapore and other countries, the economic growth rate is not low, and the stock market has repeatedly hit new highs.
Editor's note: Generally speaking, it is not intelligence that distinguishes one person from another, but diligence. Diligence here is the overwhelming distribution of attention over a long period of time.
Where you put your attention, there is life. If you just put your heart into it, and hope that the only thing you can monetize quickly, it will definitely not be possible.
In this sense, diligence is indeed a superpower, which embodies self-discipline, perseverance, concentration, and cognitive breakthroughs.
Regarding Trump's February 13 vote to stop unpaid aid: 68 percent understood Trump's idea, 55 percent thought it worked, and 64 percent thought Trump spoke for the bottom.
Conclusion: Trump's statement was more controversial, with a slight upper hand among voters.
