Zunyi

But today, the better access to market information allows production decision to be made much earlier.

I remember when I was doing a business trip in southwest China's Guizhou province, we were in a city called Zunyi, which produced like...

A lot of chilies? Yeah, the best quality chilies all over China.

Of course, they call themselves the best.

And other regions in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia also say they produce the best.

But Zunyi did produce a lot of the volume of chilies chilies across China that's supplying across China and there they have a huge market and inside that market is like a trading center also they have a big digital screen showcasing the price for each different type of chili that the farmers are harvesting and what are the potential like the sales in this season in this quarter in this year and stuff like that, so that it's for the farmers to receive that in-time information to decide which type of chili I should plant more for this year's case and which I should plant perhaps less.

And also, they have an app made just for the farmers that they can install on their phone so that they don't have to be physically in that market hall to see that change.

It's just like weather forecasting.

And the thing with cleft surgery, why this is specifically important, something that's chosen often for charity missions is because it's not life-threatening necessarily, but then it impacts your quality of life so much for the individual because you look so different that you're often stigmatized and isolated in society and you can't make friends, you can't marry, you can't live a normal life.

So somewhere like in Zunyi in Guizhou, which is China's poorest province, as a whole, people with cleft lip or palate are likely not going to get that surgery ever and have their life quality really affected.

So we were there two days over the weekend to deliver surgery for as many as we could.

And it was a really meaningful experience.

Thanks for bringing it up.

And in 1935, in January, at Zunyi, in the middle of the Long March, the CPC had a central committee meeting in Zunyi, where the most important result is that within the party, the ideological slit was eventually resolved.

And the idea, which was upheld by Mao Zedong and his followers for a long time, was that the Chinese approach to communist revolution would not completely copy the playbook from the Soviet Union.

Rather, it has to be compatible with the Chinese condition and Chinese circumstances, where China was primarily an agrarian society and a large majority being peasants.

in october 1934 the central red army left raging in eastern china's zhangxi province the long march began when more than 86 000 soldiers assembled at yudu to cross the yudu river after the brutal battle of xiangjiang river in the city of guilin that winter the red army defeated the kuomintang blockade but suffered huge losses only 30 000 troops survived But the journey did not end.

In January 1935, a crucial meeting in Zunyi in southwest China's Guizhou marked a turning point for the army.

The Red Army executed a series of maneuvers to evade Kuomintang, crossing the Chishui River four times, then traversing the Jingsha and Dadu rivers before capturing the Luding Bridge.

In October 1935, the Central Red Army reached Wuqi in northern China's Shaanxi.

Soon we entered Guangdong, then headed north from here and picked up speed a little.

We covered the first leg, and then came to Guizhou, passed through Hunan, and here is Zunyi.

We cycled uphill for about 30 kilometers.

There was snow and thick fog at the peak.

Eldrew, on the other hand, won two bronze medals in the Junior World Artistic Gymnastics Championships held on home soil in Pasai City, in the boys' floor exercise and horizontal bar.

In June, three months before the Asian Games, both brothers shared the podium in the Asian Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Zunyi, China, with Carlos winning gold and Eldrew winning bronze in the men's floor exercise.

At the Asian Games, Carlos won two gold medals in the floor exercise and vault, the same two events he won two years ago at the Paris Olympics, while Eldrew captured the bronze medal in the horizontal bar.

The brothers are joined by Wancho Miguel Basana, a horizontal bar event specialist in the men's artistic gymnastics qualifications.

The survivors marched on bleeding feet through provinces where nobody spoke their dialect, where local warlords sold them safe passage by the mile.

January 1935, they captured Zunyi, a prosperous town where they could rest.

The leadership gathered in a merchant’s house to assign blame for the disaster.

Zedong had been waiting for this moment, marginalized for three years by the Moscow faction.

It, it's...

Look, when I was Minister of Environment in Norway, uh, 15 years ago, I visited the m- m- m- mid- middle size city, Zunyi, in, uh, Guizhou Province, by the way, where the, the Long March passed through the Zunyi City.

Mm-hmm.

And it was horribly polluted.
