Jiang Zemin oversaw a wave of economic change, but not much political reform

China's party leader from 1989 to 2002 died on November 30th, aged 96

Talking to Mike Wallace on "60 Minutes" in 2000, wagging his finger—and with his ever-mobile face fixed, briefly, in a stare—Jiang Zemin quoted from the Gettysburg address. He had committed it to memory as a student activist, before the Communist Party came to power in 1949. "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth," he said. His English was not great, but it brimmed with the confidence of a man who was delivering "for the people" all right: material progress on a scale and at a speed that history had not seen before. And it had started on his watch.

His own rise had been remarkable, too. In 1949 he was just an engineer in a food factory in Shanghai that had once produced one of China's most popular brands of ice-cream, "Beautiful Woman". (Appropriate, that, for a man who seldom missed a chance to eye up a pretty girl.) Had his skills not caught the attention of a visiting senior official that year, he might have stayed there. Instead he was groomed for leadership, at first in state-owned firms and then in politics. He seemed destined to be one of the "flower-vases"—all decoration, no action, just a low-key technocrat.

七星连珠的玄学秘密

图片 一生仅有一次的震撼天象,即将在2025年2月28日上演!就在今天晚上,太阳系的七大行星将在夜空中串成一条璀璨夺目的珠链,呈现出罕见的"七星连珠"奇观。而且这次可不一般,火星与木星还会在连珠时形成美轮美奂的双星拱月景象,整整持续四小时十七分,精准度更是达到了三百年以来的最高值。只要天气晴朗,我国全境都能大饱眼福! “七星连珠”或许只能看见三颗 据上海天文台介绍,参与此次连珠的行星自西向东分别为土星、水星、海王星、金星、天王星、木星和火星,它们将出现在黄昏日落后不久。从最西端的土星到最东端的火星,张角为117°,横跨大半个天空。 然而,由于金星更靠北一些,因此这个连珠串看着不是很完美。更重要的是,其中天王星和海王星因为亮度太低了,肉眼不可见。即便完全天黑,天王星的亮度也仅仅在理论上的目力极限边缘。 而土星距离太阳只有12°,基本淹没在黄昏的天光中,直到它落下,天都没完全黑下来(完全天黑是指太阳在地平线以下18°)。 水星也好不到哪里去,它距离太阳14°,仅仅比土星晚10分钟落下,虽说比土星亮2个星等,但想凭肉眼直接找到,难度相当大。当然,不是说完全不可能,但必须满足西方地平线极为开阔、天气特别晴朗、大气透明度极佳等条件,通过拍照或可一试。 一般情况下,你能同时看见的,只有金星、木星、火星这3颗行星。 另外,不仅限于2月28日这一天,在2月20日至3月1日期间都可以。 图片 什么是“行星连珠”? 据说有科学家计算了公元前3001年到公元3000年这6000年间的情况。 当张角在5°以下时,“六星连珠”发生49次,“七星连珠”发生3次,无“八星连珠”或“九星连珠”。如果张角扩大到10°,“六星连珠”有709次,“七星连珠”有52次,“八星连珠”有3次。想要发生“九星连珠”(冥王星曾为第九大行星),必须把张角扩大到15°,这样的话6000年间只有1次这样的“罕见天象”——将发生在2149年12月10日。 《七星连珠~意为变化之象》 罕见的天文奇观——神秘的天象即将到来。 …… 2025年2月28日晚9点左右天空会出现罕见的天文奇观——七星连珠的景象。 …… 太阳系七大行星将在夜空中形成璀璨的珠链,这是巧合还是神秘的预言? …… 在中国古代,天象的变化被认为是和人间兴衰、朝代更迭有着密切关系。七星连珠现象往往被赋予神秘色彩,被认为是某种“天意”的显现。...
