China Special Series–Chinese wears better than ever before

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 12(Greenpost)–No matter you travel in the subway or in a bus, you will see beautiful boys and girls wearing beautiful clothes.

 

Even in the countryside, the free market sells various kinds of beautiful clothes and the prices are not expensive.

All the people no matter old or young, they just wear very good clothes. In other words, very new clothes.

When I was a child, we learnt from Lei Feng, a role model for youth. He said he wore a pair of socks for 9 years. Nowadays people have a lot of clothes and people begin to change a lot too.

Women change much more than men. But some men are also good at changing and buying new clothes.

Some women even go to another extreme to have too much clothes.

Children’s clothes are also in a great variety.  China’s export actually started with textile industry.

In Marx’s words, clothes, food, house and travel are not a problem now.

According to Xi Jinping’s report at the 19th CPC National Congress,  among 1.3 billion people, now there are still four percent of the total population living under poverty line. That translates into 40 million people and that is four times more than the whole Swedish population.

Xi has promised that China will wipe out poverty in three years by 2020. That is a great goal and that will really mark China to enter a new era.

I was so glad to see this when I was in China two weeks ago.

China has changed greatly and is experiencing the great transformation. Green environment is the goal people strive for.

 

 

Chinese Special Series–Chinese Housing enough for the next generation

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 12(Greenpost)– To be honest, I came from a poor farmer’s family. But now those who live in the countryside enjoy big house, bigger space.

My brother and sister both have about 100 square meters apartment.
Recently a woman from Qingdao, Shandong province told me that they live in a 150 square meters apartment just for two persons.

Many civil servants have bigger office areas and enjoy two or three apartments.

Even those who came from the countryside and later lived in the city can enjoy very big apartment, not just one.

China has built so many buildings, so many cars and so many bikes.

A great change now is that people live much better.

Beijing attracts architeks from all over the world and it is a test site for all the vanguard builders. I saw an instrument type of building in Chaoyang district.

The famous CCTV building is even more protruding.  Skyscrapers are everywhere. And in many provinces, counties and cities, there are many buildings built.

Many people in local areas even have much more houses than those in bigger cities.  Chinese people enjoy far better material enjoyment now than ever. But their time of course is much tighter than before. They work harder than before.

Chinese Special Series–Fast train can benefit the whole world

Stockholm, Nov. 12(Greenpost) — When China built fast train in 2008, I was astonished by Chinese accurate drivers and fantastic services in the Hexiehao or Harmony Train.

I used to take more than 8 hours from Beijing to Jinzhou by train. Now I fly back from Stockholm to Beijing by airplane through 8.5 hours. So sometimes I jokingly said that Stockholm is my backyard garden from my Beijing home.

This summer we went back to Beijing again.  Surprisingly it only takes half an hour from Beijing to Tianjin and only four and half hours from Tianjin to Shanghai. It used to take 12 hours.

We travelled around half of China from Tianjin to Shanghai, from Shanghai to Suzhou, just half an hour. From Suzhou to Beijing it just took four and half hours. From Shenyang to Dalian it only takes two hours. From Dalian to Jinzhou, it also jus took two hours.

There is wifi in the waiting room in Jinzhou Station and it was terribly clean and nice.  People can buy all kinds of snacks from all over China and people don’t have to be so crowded as before.

From the very beginning, I supported the idea of developing the fast train. It is absolutely great! People think it is expansive, but it is not expansive if people consider the overall benefit it brings to the society, to the business and to people’s health as well as wellbeing.

I strongly suggest Sweden build fast train. Maybe it is a better idea to join hands with Denmark and Norway to build fast train from north to south. Think of Chinese train from Harbin to Dalian, just five hours.  It is just perfect.

Think of people taking train just from Oslo to Denmark via Stockholm or surrounding Solna or Uppsala just by four hours or from Oslo to Stockholm just one hour! It will bring a lot of human flow and it will bring a lot of vitality to our economy and people’s spirit.

Sweden has been very proud of its Tunnelbana because it starts from 1940s and the train has been very good in capacity. But now it need improvement.

I suggest Sweden use Chinese fast train technology and workers.  We shall benefit from it in the long run!

Now I do think Chinese fast train is the best in the world!

China Special Series: Chinese food–the best food in the world

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 12(Greenpost) — In the early stage of China’s reform and opening up, even we Chinese ourselves felt we have been eating too much and felt we Chinese only pay attention to eating.

We used to joke about ourselves to say that our Chinese is an ethnic group that is good at eating.

Then I also began to travel around the world. I have been to Australia first and stayed in Sydney for half a year.  We cooked Chinese food every day and felt the China Town’s food was not bad.

Then I stayed in Zimbabwe for two years and cooked a lot myself and then I stayed in New Zealand for a year.  In London I stayed for four months and a couple of weeks in the US and Canada as well as Spain and other Nordic countries.

I boasted to have travelled all over the world and then came back to China, I felt the Chinese food is the best in the world.

This summer I and my family travelled to Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Suzhou, Jinzhou, Shenyang and Dalian.  Wherever we went, we tasted very good Chinese food.

In Shanghai we have the delicate green vegetables and many other kinds of food.  In China, people do love food and food is the basis for all the other aspects of life, innovation, invention, high technology and so on.  Even if you produce space shuttle or a lot of cars, you still need to eat good food.

You spend about three hundred, you can have a whole table of good food and eat a full.  Coming back to Sweden, we have to come back to a single dish or very few fresh vegetables.

Chinese food is fresh with a lot of different kinds of vegetables. Chinese food is delicious.  Of course I know a lot of people are not used to Chinese food and don’t appreciate it because they are not used to it.

But comparatively speaking, I feel lucky to be able to eat Chinese food and I really think Chinese food is the best in the world because in the food there is a lot of culture and history as well as stories in them.  And for me the best food is the Tofo and cabbage in Northeast China.

Of course I shouldn’t be so narrow-minded, I think Swedish have a lot of kinds of food for herb use too, such as using plum or linfrö to cure certain diseases.  Chinese food too can be used as a kind of medicine to cure chronicle diseases.

Traditional Chinese Cuisine Delegation visit Sweden and Demark

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 12(Greenpost)– Traditional Chinese Cuisine Delegation of Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council of China visited Sweden and Denmark recently.

Led by Lyu Jing from Jiangsu Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, the delegation includes Mr. Wei Xueyong, researcher from the office, Ms Gao Daiming, Wang Bin, Zhang Jun, Jin Fengbin and Shi Zhiyuan, Masters of Chinese Cuisine.

Lyu Jing said the purpose of the visit is to introduce traditional Chinese cuisine from Huaiyang, Yangzhou and Zhenjiang areas which is one of the four most famous cuisines in China. The other three famous cuisines are from Sichuan, Shandong and Guangdong provinces.

Ms Gao Daiming said she came from a traditional Chinese cuisine family. Among 400 kinds of famous cuisines in China, Huaiyang dishes account for over 70 percent,  up to 290 kinds which have more than 2000 years of history.

Wang Bin who opens cuisine school in Huaiyang area said the Chinese cuisines pay great attention to color, smell, taste and form which are also very good for health.

Huaiyang dishes pay great attention to the original taste of the food and dishes, thus keeping all the vitamins and proteins, good for health. It means the food is never overcooked.

The most famous dish is Lion’s Head which can be steamed and stewed.

The masters showed the local chef in how to make the best Chinese cuisine and indeed attracted about 60 chef to come to cook and over 100 food lovers to taste the gourmet.

The cuisine delegates stayed in Sweden for three days to prepare the food and to cook and teach and visit some places in Stockholm.

The activity was held in Jufu Yuan, Thai Restaurant in Upplands Vasby near Infra Scandic Hotel.  Jufu Yuan means a restaurant that gathers happiness.

Wang Yuli, Manager of Jufu Yuan Restaurant said he was happy to help organize this activity because it helps chefs from China and Sweden to exchange experiences and learn from each other.  In particular this Huaiyang Cuisine tastes very good and is just suitable for us.

After three days, the delegation left for Denmark to introduce one of the best cuisines in China.

Vanessa Redgrave has received the Stockholm Life Time Achievement Award

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 10(Greenpost)–This year’s Stockholms Lifetime Achievement Award goes to the Acadamy Award-winning actress and Hollywood legend Vanessa Redgrave. In connection to the screening of her debute as a director with the documentary Sea Sorrow, the actress will tonight visit Stockholm International Film Festival to receive the Bronze Horse.

Motivation: This year’s winner of the Stockholm Lifetime Achievement Award has been one of the most prominent actors in the world for over five decades and has been named ”the greatest living actress of our time” by Tennesse Williams. She is as brilliant in costume dramas and political documentaries as she is in works of some of the greatest auteurs in cinematic history. With astonishing force and great social commitment, Vanessa Redgrave has made acting her life’s work.

Redgrave has an impressive career with over a hundred movies, reaching over five decades, behind her. But now she is changing path and makes her debute as a director with the documentary Sea Sorrow. The film will also be screened at the Stockholm Film Festival.

Vanessa Redgrave is famous for her part in the movie Blow Up, directed by Michelangelo Antonionis. Other roles include Murder On The Orient Express (1974), Julia (1977), for which she won an Acadamy Award for best female supporting actress, and Mission: Impossible (1996). Vanessa Redgrave is also one of few who has been awarded both an Acadamy Award, a Tony and an Emmy.

She is also known for her involvement in politics throughout her career. During the Vietnam war she was an outspoken opponent and in her Acadamy Award speech in 1977 she drew great media attention to herself for openly criticising Israel.

This political involvement becomes even clearer in her touching debute as a director with Sea Sorrow. The documentary is a strong tale about migration, the refugee crisis and war, where Redgraves own experiences from the second world war is combined with reflections about todays global influx of migrants.

The film is a powerful outreach for humanism in a time of national tendencys and corresponds with this years festival theme – Change.

The Stockholm Lifetime Achievement Award is presented annually to honor and acknowledge a longstanding career and an outstanding achievement in cinema. The prestigious award, in the shape of a 7,3kg (16 lb) Bronze Horse is the heaviest film award in the world. It is also a paraphrase on a national design icon, the Swedish Dala horse, and was created by artist Fredrik Swärd. The prize has previously been awarded to directors such as Jean-Luc Godard, Quentin Tarantino, David Cronenberg, David Lynch, Oliver Stone and Mike Leigh.

Solvatten–An Innovative Tool to Achieve Climate and Development Goals 

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Nov.7(Greenpost)– Climate change is a reality and people from developing countries – specially women and children – are suffering the most. How can technology support governments to overcome these challenges?  Getting ready for the future. Credit: Solvatten. 

Here we have an interview between Analice Martins, independent writer, activist for women’s rights and founder of Internacionalidade and David Wadström focusing on an innovation called Solvatten.  The following is the details of Q and A.

Hej, David! Thanks for having me here! Can you tell me more about Solvatten?
Hej Analice! Sure! Solvatten – which means “Sun Water” in Swedish – is a jerry can that uses solar energy to purify contaminated water. After a few hours exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, specifically UV-B, the water is free from the pathogens that cause diseases such as dysentery, salmonella and cholera. We created a durable design that stands intense heat and sunlight for many years and it has the capacity to process up to 40 liters of water per day, all we need is sunshine!

Sounds very promising! And how is Solvatten addressing global challenges such as poverty, inequality and climate change?
Billions of people still use firewood to cook, heat and boil water in order to make it cleaner. There are numerous social and environmental consequences of this practice; for instance, burning firewood causes harmful indoor air pollution, releases greenhouse gas emissions, and impact the lives of many girls and women who need to walk dozens of miles every day to fetch water and firewood.
A typical household used to spend up to three hours a day to generate energy to water needs. Solvatten saves time and allow people to pursue more economically productive activities. Additionally, decreasing firewood burns is beneficial to both the household’s members as well as the trees in the local environment.

In which ways is Solvatten supporting governments and organizations to achieve their climate and development goals?
Solvatten is both a short and long-term solution. In the short term, Solvatten is a powerful relief tool for communities affected by natural disasters. Governments and International Organizations can use Solvatten in areas suffering from water contamination. In the long-term, Solvatten has been proven to be a change maker: it empowers women, increases girls’ attendance in schools, changes hygienic behaviors, and transforms its users into true climate heroes! Families have saved thousands of hectares of forest and a million trees by using Solvatten. That is real climate Action!
 

Solvatten works with governments but also green-minded companies, please tell me more about that? 
We work in partnership with governments, local organizations and corporations to provide Solvatten to millions of people living off-grid. Since 2007, we have initiated 45 projects reaching out over 300.000 people living in more than 20 developing countries. For instance, the Solvatten CSR and Climate Project provides companies and partners an opportunity to connect social and environmental impact with their business needs. An increased use of Solvatten can also improve the way a responsible company is doing business in East Africa and other emerging markets. It can really add value to their supply chains in agro-business. 

 

Can you give me an example of a successful partnership? 
Yes, good examples are the partnerships we have with sugar and coffee grower cooperatives. Solvatten plays a key role in improving the farmer’s lives at the same time it can be a practical way to offset the carbon emissions that the business contributes to. Solvatten is also being used by corporations like Axfood, International Organization such as the UN-Habitat, and environmental foundations like myclimate. 

 

It’s really inspiring! Now, to finalize, what is your biggest dream? 

My dream is to live in a world where everyone has access to safe and clean water, just as we do here in Sweden. I also hope that Solvatten shall inspire other entrepreneurs and innovators to raise their voice and come up with great solutions to address climate change!

瑞典青田同乡会会长叶克雄首先致欢迎词。他说,我代表瑞典青田同乡会和各兄弟协会在这里热烈欢迎桂大使和夫人到瑞典履新。桂大使虽然到瑞典时间不长,但是,多次参加华人华侨举办的多项活动。我们感受到桂大使平易近人,为我们华人之所想,真正体会到使馆是我们华人的家,桂大使就是我们的“父母官”。

桂从友大使对瑞典华人华侨的盛情欢迎表示感谢。他说:

“刚刚召开的中国共产党第19次全国代表大会为我们制定了更加宏伟的蓝图,为中国描绘了更加美好的发展前景,相信广大华人华侨也会衷心拥护祖国的发展蓝图,让我们举杯,为我们伟大祖国的繁荣昌盛,祝我们的祖国更加美丽。我们的人民过上更加美好的生活,也借此机会祝愿广大华人华侨身体健康,工作顺利,家庭幸福,开开心心”。

瑞典中国侨联青年委员,瑞典青田同乡会副秘书长徐力也代表华人华侨发表讲话。

他说,桂从友大使的到来,是对我们旅居瑞典华人华侨的关怀,是对我们华侨社团工作的肯定和支持。桂大使到瑞典短短的两个多月时间里,却与我们华人侨团互动不下几十次,我有幸参与了使馆的国庆庆典,瑞典斯京高尔夫球颁奖仪式,华助中心成立大会,瑞典侨界学习十九大报告座谈会等活动,亲眼目睹了桂大使优雅风趣的谈吐,对国家政策精准的理解。桂大使不辞辛苦,在短短的时间里就与我们华人华侨打成一片,感到非常高兴。

“我们瑞典华人华侨虽然身在异国他乡,但是,对祖籍国的热爱却是有增无减,在祖国遇到自然灾害时,总是第一时间开展募捐,慷慨解囊。香港回归,迎奥运,抗议日本强占钓鱼岛等国内重大事件时都积极组织华人华侨开展大型活动,用实际行动拥护和支持自己的祖籍国”。

徐力虽然是华人华侨中的青年代表,却也说出了很多老华侨的心声。

中国驻瑞典大使桂从友发表了热情洋溢而又幽默风趣的讲话。桂大使说,李军峰参赞在瑞典工作三年多,已经算超期服役。他在瑞典工作期间,为促进瑞典和中国两国政府和人民之间的相互了解,为中瑞关系的发展作出了重要贡献。他在瑞典工作期间也交了很多朋友。正象一位同事说的,他会想念李参,其实他是说出了我们全体馆员的心声。We miss you。全场爆发出欢快的笑声。桂大使以前是驻莫斯科大使馆的,突然来句英语说,我们会想你的,真的让人忍俊不住要笑出声来。

左:张彪参赞,右:李军峰参赞

“希望你回去以后,要把在瑞典工作的经验带回去,不但有个人前途的更大发展,也要把中瑞友好合作的精神带到新的工作岗位上。希望李参以后无论在什么岗位上工作都要继续关注我们,继续关注中瑞友好合作。” 真让人感觉有种送战友踏征程的感觉。或许这就是60后那种同志加战友的感觉。

桂大使也介绍了新任政务参赞张彪。他说,张彪参赞也是职业外交官,曾经在中国驻印度使馆工作过。他也在外交部工作过,一直战斗在中国外交前线。他和李参一样,有极高的职业素养,也和李参一样非常热爱瑞典,也期待跟各位建立良好的工作和个人友好关系,在新的起点上,推动中瑞友好合作,取得更大的发展。希望各位朋友支持他的工作。Thank you!

确实,李军峰参赞在瑞典工作期间,尤其是最近一段时间,两次出席中瑞论坛,用熟练的英语和瑞典人进行交流和对话,讨论和辩论,你来我往,用英语讲好中国故事,对于瑞典人对中国情况不明白的地方或者有误解的地方能够及时解疑释惑。通过相互交流,增进理解。

桂从友大使也是,虽然是通过翻译交流,但也不乏幽默感和风趣感,让人感觉容易接触,开诚布公,短短几个月,就在外交方面,团结侨胞方面打开了新局面。给人带来一股新风。

桂大使几乎在每一次讲话中都说,“我来瑞典的主要任务就是要和大家交朋友。我来瑞典之前,我的领导也告诉我,要和瑞典的一千万人口都交朋友。” 当然,目标很宏伟,任务很艰巨。但是,能感受到桂大使带来了一种活力,一种亲和力。

今日头条:”中共十九大之后的中国“研讨会在斯德哥尔摩举行

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)– 11月9日晚在斯德哥尔摩的ABF举行了一场关于”十九大之后的中国“研讨会。研讨会由瑞中协会举办。

瑞典前驻中国大使雍博瑞,瑞典瓦伦贝基金项目负责人马琳和瑞典汉学家罗多弼是本次研讨会的主讲人。

雍博瑞说,中共是十九大非常重要。中国共产党在毛泽东时代非常强势,到邓小平时代,不再强调政治挂帅,而是强调党政分开,解放生产力。后来,出现很多腐败现象。习近平上台后,大力整治腐败,也有人说他是借此树清政治对手,但反腐败措施很受欢迎。八项规定让很多官员落马,为国家节约很多开支。十九大提出党领导一切,说明又开始加强党的领导了。

马琳说,习近平是COE,他是一切的核心。她在北京工作多年,主要工作就是帮助中国改善人权状况,教授人权课程。确实,中国在法制建设方面是一年更比一年强。不过马琳也指出,中国的环境虽然这两年治理力度很大,但是,污染的债务实在太沉重,空气,水和土壤的污染治理还需要继续花大力气。

罗多弼说,中共十九大是为中国指明前进的方向,为中国未来的发展趋势进行顶层设计。有人觉得习总书记的报告很长,但是,中国过去五年确实有很大发展,中产阶级人数越来越多。人们的权力意识越来越强。人民群众支持习近平的声音越来越强,他也警告不要回到过去,不要忘记历史。

讲话后,三位研究者还回答了大家的问题。其中包括中国在非洲的发展,中国的基础设施投资和高铁的发展。

同时,他们也指出在中国无法用Google和Youtube, 给人带来很多不方便。

 

Sino-US good relations conducive to the world peace and development

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

It is well known that if two tigers fight each other, both will be hurt.  America and China are the first and the second economy in the world. If these two countries are friendly cooperating with each other, the world will be peaceful and prosperous.

Tomorrow American president Donald Trump will visit China, the first visit since Trump came to power and since Xi Jinping was reelected CPC General Secretary.

These are the most powerful politician in the current world.  It is expected that they will definitely talk about bilateral trade and economic cooperation. They will also talk about the North Korean issue.

It is hopeful that China and US can reach an agreement that they will jointly maintain the world peace and not fight with each other.  That will be conducive to the world peace and development.
