Y ang Guo and her husband Meipu Ganpang used to struggle to make ends meet as farmers in Huyu, a township in southwest China’s Yunnan Province. Poverty eventually broke up their family, forcing Meipu to become a migrant worker in distant cities with more job opportunities, leaving his wife and two children at home.
It was a common situation in Huyu, where about 8,500 people live. In 2018, the residents of its four villages were living below the national poverty line, an annual income of 2,300 yuan($334).
There were many reasons. The land was barren compared with nearby regions, transportation and infrastructure were underdeveloped,and there were few pillar industries.
In addition, most of the villagers weren’t well-educated. It was not easy for them to accept new concepts and master new skills,Yin Jiahui, Secretary of the Huyu Township Committee of the Communist Party of China(CPC), said.
Fish and rice
“The only solution was to pool together the scattered human and material resources and create our own unique businesses,” Yin said.
Huyubeng’s shareholders get a year-end bonus and those participating in the planting business are paid a proportional dividend from the harvest pro fi ts.

The conclusion was that while farming and animal husbandry could be a means of income,the villagers didn’t have the knowhow to explore potential markets. Private companies had access to labor, logistics, information and capital,but their financing channels were limited. While farmer cooperatives could pool the participants’land for development, they were stuck at a basic development stage and lacked high-caliber professionals who could lead them to further growth.
With investment from Huyubeng, an aquaculture company was established, benefiting many families like the Yangs. They received fish fries as part of the poverty alleviation project and received training from fishery experts invited by the local government. When the fish grow bigger, they are sold to the aquaculture company, generating income for the families.
实习过程中也遇到了一些问题，如分组过程中能力偏差的学生各组都不愿接收，需要老师强制安排；学生各种项目完成度非常好，但没有合适服务器向外发布。建议学校提供Web服务器发布学生完成项目，给学生带来成就感。
After the assessment, the four villages set up a collective in May 2017. Huyubeng Agricultural Development Co. today has financing capital of over 25 million yuan ($3.6 million), mainly from farmers’ contributions as shareholders and funds given by large companies to assist the township. It started developing businesses suited to the local conditions, ranging from planting, breeding and produce sales to agricultural machinery manufacturing, logistics and tourism.
子路问：“闻斯行诸？”子曰：“有父兄在，如之何其闻斯行之？”冉有问：“闻斯行诸?”子曰：“闻斯行之。”公西华曰：“由也问，闻斯行诸？子曰，‘有父兄在’；求也问闻斯行诸，子曰‘闻斯行之’。赤也惑，敢问。”子曰：“求也退，故进之;由也兼人，故退之。”[5]这就是孔子著名的因材施教的典故。
目前对脊柱肿瘤的外科治疗有多种手段，如传统的开刀手术治疗和微创治疗。有截瘫风险或已经发生截瘫的一部分患者，需要进行开刀手术，通过手术切除病变解除脊髓神经的压迫，重建脊柱稳定性后依然可以自主行走，生活自理。患椎体溶骨性转移瘤、骨髓瘤、血管瘤的一部分患者可选择微创治疗，如粒子植入术（针对恶性肿瘤）、经皮椎体成形术等，这些治疗方法能够降低截瘫的风险。
解题过程中，要培养学生应用数学知识解答物理问题的能力。如在运动学中，应注意矢量正、负号的意义以及正确应用；讲解相遇或追击问题时，注意引导学生将物理现象用数学式表达出来；讲运动学图像时，结合运动过程示意图讲解，搞清图像的意义，进而学会用图象分析过程、解决问题。

With the money they earned from selling the fish, Yang’s family bought livestock and poultry, increasing their income. The 36-yearold also got a part-time job as a street cleaner this year, one of the jobs the township offers to poverty-stricken families.
The aquaculture company is expanding its ambit to include entertainment and tourism with fishing, sightseeing and farmhouse visits.
Huyubeng, in cooperation with other companies, has developed a series of agricultural programs. It has acquired the management right to land in the four villages that was previously fragmented into small plots and was not well utilized. Besides fish ponds and paddy fields, the land is used to grow cash crops like lemons, sugar oranges and avocados, plants that are suited to the local climate. Planting professionals and technicians are hired to help farmers increase their crop yields.
“In the past, we couldn’t have a decent life even when we worked hard all day. But now the work is less hard and we earn more and live more comfortably,” Yang said.
Building a brand
The aquaculture company has rented several plots that are used as demonstration paddy fields. Here fish are raised in the standing water used to irrigate the crop. The fish eat the worms and other insects in the crop,making it high-quality since pesticides are not needed. Besides the paddy fields, the fish are another source of income for the farmers.
The township began to research the area and its people’s business potential as part of the nationwide drive to eradicate absolute poverty by 2020, a campaign that focuses on the poorest villages and counties where people live below the poverty line.
The company’s programs ensure that farmers are the ultimate beneficiary. For example, Huyubeng established a joint venture with Ruili Yuyao Sugar Orange Planting Co. to manufacture fruit baskets and boxes. Locals can work for the new company and the boxes and baskets they make are sold to farmers at a discount. The discounted boxes and baskets help the farmers save more than 100,000 yuan ($14,530) every year.
Currently, the company has expanded its customer pool and received a large number of orders from farmers in other provinces.
So far, Huyubeng has helped more than 600 local people find employment.Enterprising farmers who want to start their own business are encouraged to seek training and financial support from the company.
In 2018, Huyu’s fiscal revenue was nearly 243 million yuan ($35 million), up 11 percent over the previous year. The per-capita annual net income of local residents was 11,040 yuan($1,604), a 10-percent increase from 2017.
全面分层浇筑技术多应用于技术含量低、建筑结构小的建筑工程项目中，其在实际进行混凝土浇筑时，基本是遵循从下到上的顺序进行浇筑。采用全面分层浇筑方式进行混凝土浇筑时，应当在完成第一层浇筑工作后，再进行第二层的混凝土浇筑，若第一层混凝土初凝情况不够完好，则需要进行连续性的混凝土浇筑。为确保混凝土浇筑质量，采用全面分层浇筑方式进行浇筑时，建筑结构平面尺寸不能超过规定范围，且浇筑应当遵循从短到长的方向进行浇筑。若浇筑距离比较长，则可以将其拆分为两端进行浇筑，浇筑完成后再进行中央浇筑，这种方式利于提升混凝土浇筑的结构稳定性。
However, Huyubeng faces challenges to further development. “We need more access to capital, business management professionals and marketing channels,” Yin said. But,despite the difficulties, he is optimistic that Huyubeng will build itself into a well-known brand that both farmers and customers can rely on. n
