Two weeks have passed since the Taliban occupied Kabul, the Afghan capital, where chaos, explosions and death have plunged the Afghan people into fear, a sight far removed from the reforms promised by Ghani. As an expert on "failed states," he could only watch his regime collapse.
On August 15, the Taliban entered kabul, the Afghan capital, with little resistance. Later in the day came the news that Ghani had "run away." On the same day, Ghani spoke out through social media, "In order to avoid bloodshed, I think it is better to leave."
Ghani is a distinguished anthropologist who worked on fieldwork at the World Bank for many years. Ghani has long been concerned about how to build an effective system of government in poor countries, creating fair markets, collecting taxes, providing services, and ensuring the safety of citizens.
Prospects magazine once commented on Ghani, "Few scholars have the opportunity to put their ideas into practice." Ghani spent decades studying how to build a nation at Columbia University, The University of Berkeley, Johns Hopkins University, and the World Bank, returning to his home country of Afghanistan to put his research into practice. ”
From the perspective of a later generation, Ghani is fortunate to have the opportunity to put his theory into practice, and perhaps this is the unfortunate thing.
Bill Rogero, a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy at the Us research institute, said: "Ghani is incapable of uniting the whole country, surrounded by Western-educated intellectuals, he refuses to face the real situation in Afghanistan, and isolates himself from the local warlords who hold real power and the Afghan people."
In the final months of the presidential residence, Ghani nearly lost real power and was forced to make some strident speeches on television. In the final weeks, as the Taliban occupied one region and provincial capital after another across Afghanistan, Ghani seemed to be shocked. He did not make a public statement on the state of affairs of the war or hold a press conference. In a short video released by the government alone, Ghani praised Afghan government forces, saying they had the courage to win.
In his book, Ghani concludes that the failures of previous reformers were due to the failure to reach a broad political consensus on reforms, which could easily be overthrown by counter-reform forces from rural areas. Ultimately, this summary seems to apply to Ghani himself as well. Read the full >>>
Beijing Subway Line 1 and Batong Line were officially opened, and the two subways that were originally so close finally became "fellow travelers".
Starting from today (August 29), Sihui Station and Sihui East Station will also change from the starting station to the middle station, and from the transfer station to the ordinary station, passengers do not need to transfer at Sihui Station and Sihui East Station to make a direct trip from Gucheng Station to Universal Resort Station. After the through operation is implemented, the names of the two lines will still retain the original respective line names. In addition, in order to further improve the transportation efficiency and meet the travel needs of passengers, the metro company has newly compiled the cross-line operation map of the Batong Line of Line 1, and adopted the operation mode of implementing large and small traffic sets during the morning and evening rush hours on weekdays.
In order to better achieve through operation, the train has also ushered in a major transformation. "The electronic map of the train will be dynamically adjusted according to the operation map, and after the command center issues the command, the vehicle can automatically display on the electronic map and synchronize the station, which originally required the train driver to set manually." According to the relevant person in charge of the Second Branch of Beijing Metro Operation, passengers can also view the operation of the upcoming train in real time on the platform to avoid getting on the wrong train.
However, after the two lines run through, some new problems may gradually emerge, a large number of passengers from Tongzhou to the direction of the city, and from the media university, Sihuidong, Sihui and other stations in the middle will become more difficult. For Ren Linli, the station mayor of the Sihui Station Area, although the passenger flow of the transfer is less, the station may have a situation where it is difficult for passengers to get on the train, which also needs attention, and a lot of explanation and guidance work needs to be done in the early stage of the operation. Perhaps Monday morning peak is the real test of the success of the "one-eight connection". Read the full >>>

It can be seen from the so-called "new coronavirus traceability investigation report" released by the Office of the Director of Intelligence of the United States that the United States just wants to make the traceability of the virus into a "handy" stick in its own hands.
On August 27, local time, the Office of the Us Director of Intelligence released a summary of the so-called "New Coronavirus Traceability Investigation Report", believing that the two possibilities of the new coronavirus originating from nature and laboratory leakage cannot be ruled out, while slandering China for obstructing international investigations, refusing to share information and accusing other countries. In this regard, the Chinese side expresses its firm opposition and strong condemnation.
The virus traceability report released by the United States is actually the inevitable result of Biden's order to his intelligence department in May to investigate the traceability of the new crown virus. It would be strange not to allow scientist organizations or scientific institutions but intelligence to trace the origin of the virus. Such an American-style virus traceability is destined to be just a farce.
Previously, WHO had travelled to China for two rounds of research and published studies. As the country with the most serious epidemic in the world, the relevant information of the United States is of course also crucial for virus traceability and related research. Why can't the United States invite the international scientific community, including Chinese experts, to the United States to conduct traceability research and investigation? It can be seen that Biden is just using the "American virus traceability" to carry out political mobilization at home and abroad. Read the full >>>

Guo Jian, general manager of Xinjiang Guanghui Club, told the Beijing News reporter that after learning that Zhou Qi announced his withdrawal from the new season, Xinjiang Club expressed regret, and indeed this situation is not wanted by many parties. 'It was his personal decision and choice, and the club had previously submitted the contract in accordance with the prescribed process and done what we had to do.' Guo Jian revealed that the Xinjiang club offered a contract extension on June 25, but Zhou Qi has not signed it, so it cannot be registered.
Media person Su Qun revealed that Xinjiang said that until now no club has contacted Zhou Qi's transfer. For this mysterious "next home", Su Qun also replied to the fans that "it is not necessarily Liaoning", "That team came out to talk to Xinjiang in a big way, it may be better." The Beijing News reporter learned that it is a southern club that hopes to introduce Zhou Qi. Read the full >>>
Guo Lianwen, who has been working in the film and television industry for many years, has participated in many TV series, but these roles have not left a deep impression until he met the TV series "Comrade Shaoqi".
In 1998, CCTV prepared to shoot the TV series "Comrade Shaoqi" and selected actors nationwide. Because of his resemblance to Liu Shaoqi, Guo Lianwen was recommended to the crew, and after several rounds of selection, he was considered to be the most suitable actor. Guo Lianwen recalled: "Comrade Liu Shaoqi's wife, Wang Guangmei, and the old comrades who participated in the revolutionary work with him were very surprised when they saw me, saying that I was too much like Liu Shaoqi when I was young, and my appearance also evoked their memories of the past. ”
Playing the great man to the extreme is something that Guo Lianwen has insisted on for decades, from the first time he played Liu Shaoqi, the shooting task he faced was extremely arduous, and he also suffered a lot because of this role. When filming "Comrade Shaoqi", it was all live-action shooting, summer shooting winter scenes, the heat was unbearable but you had to wear a long shirt, a top hat, and a woolen scarf, because there were many scenes depicting underground party activities, you can't turn on the lights during the day, and you even have to set up a heater in the room. When filming the TV series "Long March", he almost lost his life. There is a scene of Liu Shaoqi carrying a small warrior across the meadow, filmed on a plateau at an altitude of 3800 meters. Guo Lianwen was seriously deprived of oxygen during filming, and even fainted directly after filming.
Asked whether he would regret handing over all his acting experience to a role for so many years, he did not hesitate a little: "What regrets is this, even if the acting career is given to Comrade Liu Shaoqi, it is worth it!" Although I have starred many times before and after, each creation is a new attempt, the age of the role is different, the people and things encountered are different, the thinking is changing, which requires the actor to re-depict on the white paper, which is a test.
