WIP Wednesday
While I'm editing the He Xuan fic in preparation of sending it off for alpha and beta reading, I started poking some old projects and came across the concept for a The Witcher fusion with MJTY. Since Fangs of Fortune delivered some excellent new inspiration for Tian Jiarui in a xianxia setting I was struck by inspiration and this is now happening!
Enjoy <3

“So Jue-gongzhu brought a trophy from his travels? It certainly is a worthy one,” says a thin, mean voice from the side of the hall and Yuanzhi watches as a man, stinking of illness and ill-will is carried on a sedan chair into their midst. He squints up at Yuanzhi. “That’s my didi’s son alright,” he says at length, his words half-swallowed by a cough. “And now he’s even got his mother’s eyes!”
Yuanzhi salutes him. “Yuanzhi greets Bofu and thanks him for the compliment.”
The man snorts. “Where’s the compliment in that? Your mother was a freak and now you’re a freak just like her. I say the Wolf Sect can keep this worthless pup! It’s not like he can continue the lineage of Zhi manor. Neither in flesh, nor in neigong. Wufeng might even declare the wolves their alley if they hear of this.”
“San-di is being unkind,” the Sword Wielder says softly, as if he himself hadn’t smelled of almost the same combination of disappointment and annoyance, if less pungently so, earlier. “But this matter needs to be discussed with the elders. They will have further questions for Zhi-gongzi.”
Yuanzhi almost rolls his eyes and crosses his arms over his chest. “This wolf will return in a fortnight, presenting you the head of the man who dared to end the line of Zhi manor against my parents’ wishes and call himself my yifu despite lying about the fate of my family. This will be my third and final gift to Jue-gongzhu and if he accepts it, I will gladly enter his household in whichever way he desires.”
Voices raise around him and Yuanzhi holds up his hand, growling quietly. “This venerable wolf’s family died at the hands of Wufeng, he will do his utmost to defeat them. He will walk this path at the side of Jue-gongzhu or at no one’s side at all.” He meets the eyes of the Sword Wielder, Shang-gongzhu, Gong-da-gongzi and Gong-san-gongzi in turn. “This venerable wolf has no family and he will not get involved in your petty power struggles. It is only for Shangjue-ge’s safety that he will suggest you detain Gong Huanyu and treat Zhiren-daren for the slow-acting poison that has been administered to him by his son.”
“What are you talking about?” Huanyu exclaims, jumping up from his seat and drawing his blade, pointing it foolishly at Yuanzhi. “How dare you insinuate that I poisoned Fuqin!”
Yuanzhi inclines his head. “There is the scent of aconite clinging to your hands, even though your skin shows no callouses from poison making and your weapons all are pre-equipped with the standard fare of the Gong family. The same aconite can be smelled on Zhiren-daren’s breath and the weakness in his neili indicates that the cycle of his cultivation nears its most vulnerable hour.”
Were a pin dropped in the ensuing silence, Yuanzhi’s sensitive ears likely would have perceived it as an explosion of some kind. He calmly meets the sect leader’s horrified gaze. “I do not know why your son wishes for you to die, Da-bofu. I apologise for bringing such a sensitive topic up at this time.”
“Even the youngest disciples of the Wolf Sect have above average perception,” Shangjue says suddenly, his voice rough and sending a shiver down Yuanzhi’s back. “Yuanzhi-di is a senior member of the sect and has reached near-immortality. If he can sense poison both on Yu-da-shaoye’s fingers and Zhiren-daren’s breath, we must believe him.”
Yuanzhi doesn’t dare look at Shangjue, his stomach twisting itself into knots. “This wolf will leave you to your internal affairs.”
“Wait!”
Yuanzhi looks up, terrible hope sparking in his chest as Shangjue calls out to him.
He’s quiet for a long moment before he inclines his head, the fine tremor in his breath likely only audible to Yuanzhi and Shangjue himself. “This unworthy one will wait for Lang-xianjun’s safe return.”
Yuanzhi’s throat tightens on its own volition and he nods, barely remembering to fold his hands in a salute.

China is reeling from a record-breaking summer of rainfall and flooding that submerged furrows and destroyed crops, offering a window into how climate change-fueled extreme weather will complicate Beijing’s long-standing quest for food security.
China’s leaders have long agonized over how to feed the country’s sizable population—nearly one-fifth of the world—when it is home to just 9 percent of the world’s arable land, territory that has been shrinking as a result of excessive fertilization and overuse. For Chinese officials, those fears stretch back thousands of years, when issues of hunger and food insecurity sparked protests and imperiled regimes; more recently, food shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic sparked unrest in cities.
If Beijing was already worried about food security, rising geopolitical tensions have only turbocharged its bid for self-sufficiency in agricultural production. Over the years, China has grown increasingly reliant on foreign food imports—a habit that Beijing is trying to kick to kick by expanding its farmland. But as climate change drives increasingly extreme weather, the resulting fallout could pose yet another challenge to Beijing’s food security campaign.
“Food security is a very important concern for the Chinese government,” said Zongyuan Zoe Liu, an international political economist at the Council on Foreign Relations. “Most of the ancient Chinese dynasties were toppled by an uprising of the farmers because of extreme weather conditions that caused famine or food crises.”
Those fears haven’t gone away. Floods battered southern China again this week, the latest disruption in a string of extreme weather events that have pummeled the country’s agricultural sector and inundated harvests. In the cities of Harbin and Shangzhi, floodwaters mauled 220,000 and 105,000 acres respectively of crops last month; earlier this summer, extreme rainfall is estimated to have impacted as much as 30 million metric tons of grain in Henan province, a region that is widely called the granary of China. As farmers braced for more disruptions last month, officials announced that they would pour $60 million in flood relief funds dedicated to agricultural production.
“The number is rising, and the intensity is rising, in terms of the floods and the extreme droughts” hitting China, said Wendong Zhang, a professor at Cornell University. “There is less climate resiliency in the Chinese agricultural production system.”
It’s not just floodwaters that threaten to impact China’s agricultural output, either. In other regions, extreme heat has killed pigs and fish, and also stoked uncertainty about China’s rice crop and its production of key staples such as wheat, corn, and soybeans.
While flooding and drought aren’t unusual in China, climate change—which is fueled by human activity—makes precipitation and extreme heat both more intense and more frequent. China was drenched this summer by some of its heaviest rainfall in 140 years, according to officials, extreme weather that was also driven by this year’s El Niño weather pattern.
“There’s a very strong link between climate change and a growing number of extreme hydrologic events, including both flooding and drought,” said Peter Gleick, a climate scientist and senior fellow at the Pacific Institute. “We’re already seeing, around the world, increases in extreme rainfall events that we know are influenced by climate change, and that has contributed to a lot of the flooding that we see not just in China, but all around the world.”
Rising geopolitical tensions have given fresh impetus to Beijing’s efforts, underscoring how food security has become increasingly intertwined with broader security concerns. While China is the source of one-quarter of global grain production, it has become progressively dependent on food imports in recent decades.
“Food security used to be more of a departmental priority,” Zhang said. “But this [has been] heightened to a level that is thinking from a major portfolio approach, thinking about this as one of the main key aspects of the national security for China, along with energy security” and other issues, he said.
This year, China is importing more wheat, corn, and sorghum than it expected to. Wary of its growing reliance on agricultural imports, Beijing has ramped up efforts to expand its arable land, reclaiming as many as 420,000 acres since 2021. As climate threats become more pronounced, Liu, the Council on Foreign Relations expert, said that Beijing has also focused its response on improving food technology and developing climate-resilient crops while also working to expand arable land and improve soil quality.
“The Chinese government feels like they shouldn’t depend on a particular country or a particular part of the world for supplying their food,” said Holly Wang, an agricultural economist at Purdue University. “That will only make them work harder and take it more seriously to emphasize domestic production. But at least so far, China still acknowledges that it will depend on the world market to supplement some food.”
Instead of preparing to attend the upcoming G-20 summit in New Delhi, Chinese President Xi Jinping traveled on Thursday to flood-hit villages in northeast China, where he inspected the floods’ impact on rice crops. But Beijing has been reluctant to explicitly link this summer’s extreme flooding and heat to climate change, instead doubling down on its permitting spree for coal power plants.
What happens in China won’t necessarily stay in China, either. Given the size of the Chinese agricultural market and the scale of its demand, Zhang, the Cornell economist, said that severe climate disruptions impacting Chinese producers could ramp up demand in the global marketplace. Last month, Fitch Ratings, a U.S.-based ratings agency, warned that heavy rainfall in three Chinese provinces—Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Inner Mongolia—could intensify pressures on the global rice market.
The disruptions to Chinese harvests come at a time when global grain supplies are already strained by Russia’s continued interference with exports of Ukrainian wheat. Moscow not only refuses to renew a deal to allow the unfettered export of Ukrainian grains, but has also attacked agricultural export facilities in southern Ukraine and forced other countries to intervene in a bid to protect the flow of food. That, coupled with crazy weather, makes China’s headache a pain for the whole world.
“China is so big that these domestic shocks that arguably mainly affected the Chinese market are increasingly [having] significant global market implications,” Zhang said.

OP come here and let me kiss your cheeks. You are family to me now. I am laying a plate out for you on my table when I eat.
;A;
Bless you for this post.
How to be a more interesting character than the Main Hero (Pt.3)
Shangjue and his didi (pt.2/2)
Yuanzhi wants to save Shangjue from any kind of pain so badly, and not only because he feels guilt for brother's loss, but also because he is able to see brother's true personality: Shangjue is an invisible root of Gong tree.
When an assassin and didi have a conversation in the final part of the drama, she says that there are people, in front of whom Shangjue could be vulnerable, but Yanzhi smirks and says that the Martial World won`t allow it. And it happens to be true: he knows that Shangjue’s fiancée is an assassin and he knows that, no matter how much Shangjue is into her, she would not hesitate to kill him if she had a chance, so Shangjue`s soft spot for something (such as a woman he likes) would be his doom. But he needs to look invincible, because the whole clan counts on him and relies on him.
Because Shangjue is a root of Gong clan, everyone sees only thriving and green branches and beautiful flowers (which are wealth, power and secure of Gong clan), but no one sees that it wouldn`t be possible without a root, strong yet hidden under the soil (aka one hardworking man).
I often find the fate of Shangjue's type of heroes very unfair: a person unnoted takes care of everyone and is rewarded at the end only with sufferings and death. But this story is different, because Shangjue has got his didi, who doesn't care about world but eagerly takes care of him while he takes care of anything else. This scene was the second one during the drama that upset me a lot. I spoiled myself some shots of Yuanzhi crying over brother's body and I was sure he would die because he isn't fluffy and spotless enough to stay alive in Chinese drama. Fortunately, he didn't:
It works visa versa, too:
Yuanzhi is, I suppose, coded as someone like Asperger: he is kinda genius, he preferred insects and plants to people as he was a child, he couldn`t understand why people cry and felt uncomfortable with someone`s touching (he slipped out of Shangjue’s grip when Shangjue took his hand). And Shangjue did a great job socializing him.
Being an adolescent, Shangjue hadn`t problems with feeling expression. Things Shangjue taught his didi in a flashback are the opposite to those the Main Hero’s mum taught MH and to those Shangjue believes now. Shangjue told Yuanzhi that a man should cry because in that case someone would understand one's woe and this sympathizing could help to recuperate one's soul, but now he never cries in front of someone. However, Yuanzhi learned his lesson well and isn`t embarrassed to express his feelings freely.
I found this scene very weird (if not taking into account that the flower is obviously a red herring): the Main Hero and Shangjue both fancy girls, while didi fancies a magic flower. But later, as I finished the drama, I understood: didi fancies Shangjue the most. The unique and almost extinct flower isn`t some treasure for him, it matters only that this flower can save Shangjue`s life and increase his inner powers. The previous one was taken away from Shangjue, and Shangjue allowed it to happen, because his needs didn`t matter to him compared to prosperity of his clan. (Later, as we know, it was spent in vain by a villain, which made me feel terribly sorry for Shangjue). But his didi values him enough to try to take care of him once more (and for this time he has planted more than one, in order something would end up in Shangjue’s hands even if clansmen would need this flower, too. How smart of his!). And I like that his love is not in vain – Shangjue loves him, too, and believes him in any situation, and that warms my heart. I love their relationship a lot.
And the most vivid feeling that he freely demonstrates is a jealousy towards Shangjue’s fiancée (btw, I like, that Shangjue understands it and pardons his tantrums):
"Go ahead, tell me what's on your mind." *opens his mouth to start talking* "Well, rather don`t. I can see it on your face." *smiles*
So, in the part 4 I will talk about Shangjue and her.
#I have emotions and I really should be in bed#my journey to you#gong yuanzhi#gong shangjue#ok. I'm going to be honest.#at this point I can safely say that I'm the person who has written the most for Shangzhi in English both on this site and on AO3#genuinely. hand over heart. when I say that I love them in every shape they may take#I mean it.#whether you see them as in familial love or brotherly love#or you see them in a romantic sense#you can't deny that these two love with a capital L each other#and no matter how you slice it. love is love is love is love#my journey to you meta#ok I need sleep but my lactose intolerance ass took milk

Aerogel Can Become the Key to Future Terahertz Technologies - Technology Org
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/aerogel-can-become-the-key-to-future-terahertz-technologies-technology-org/
Aerogel Can Become the Key to Future Terahertz Technologies - Technology Org
High-frequency terahertz waves have great potential for a number of applications including next-generation medical imaging and communication. Aerogels could be a nice addition to this.
Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have shown, in a study published in the journal Advanced Science, that the transmission of terahertz light through an aerogel made of cellulose and a conducting polymer can be tuned. This is an important step to unlock more applications for terahertz waves

The terahertz range covers wavelengths that lie between microwaves and infrared light on the electromagnetic spectrum. It has a very high frequency.
Thanks to this, many researchers believe that the terahertz range has great potential for use in space exploration, security technology and communication systems, among other things. In medical imaging, it can also be an interesting substitute for X-ray examinations as the waves can pass through most non-conductive materials without damaging any tissue.
However, there are several technological barriers to overcome before terahertz signals can be widely used. For example, it is difficult to create terahertz radiation in an efficient way and materials that can receive and adjust the transmission of terahertz waves are needed.
Adjustable filter
Researchers at Linköping University have now developed a material whose absorption of terahertz signals can be turned on and off through a redox reaction. The material is an aerogel, which is one of the world’s lightest solid materials.
“It’s like an adjustable filter for terahertz light. In one state, the electromagnetic signal will not be absorbed and in the other state it can. That property can be useful for long-range signals from space or radar signals,” says Shangzhi Chen, postdoc at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, LOE, at Linköping University.
The Linköping researchers used a conducting polymer, PEDOT:PSS, and cellulose to create their aerogel. They also designed the aerogel with outdoor applications in mind. It is both water-repellent (hydrophobic) and can be naturally defrosted via heating by sunlight.
Large modulation range
Conducting polymers have many advantages over other materials used to create tunable materials. Among other things, they are biocompatible, durable, and have a great ability to be tuned. The tunability comes from the ability to change the charge density in the material. The great advantages of cellulose are the relatively low production cost compared to other similar materials and that it is a renewable material which is key for sustainable applications.
“The transmission of terahertz waves in a broad frequency range could be regulated between around 13 % and 91 %, which is a very large modulation range,” says Chaoyang Kuang, postdoc at LOE.
The study was funded by, among others, the Swedish Research Council, the Foundation for Strategic Research, the Foundation for Internationalization of Higher Education and Research, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, the Wallenberg Wood Science Centre, and through the Swedish government’s strategic initiative in new functional materials, AFM, at Linköping University.

Jonsson; Advanced Science, published online November 23, 2023. DOI: 10.1002/advs.202305898
Facts: The terahertz range covers the wavelengths that lie between microwaves and infrared light on the electromagnetic spectrum. The waves have a width of between 0.1 and 1 millimetre and the frequency is at least 0.3 terahertz and at most 30 terahertz. 1 terahertz means that 1000 billion waves are sent or received in one second.

Xi calls for continuous efforts in post-flood reconstruction in Beijing, Hebei
BEIJING, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, inspected the reconstruction work at the areas affected by floods in Beijing and Hebei Province on Nov. 10. Xi stressed that Party committees and governments at all levels, as well as relevant parties, should faithfully implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee to make persistent efforts in post-flood reconstruction so as to ensure that local people could live in comfort and plenty, and have a warm home during the winter. He stressed the need to uphold a people-centered approach, apply systems thinking and make sound planning and rational overall arrangement in a down-to-earth manner. He called for redoubled efforts to close safety loopholes and strengthen weak links. He urged accelerated progress in improving flood control and prevention projects, emergency management, and capacity to prevent, mitigate and relieve disasters.
In late July and early August, rainstorm occurred in North China and Yellow and Huaihe river valleys, causing floods and geological disasters, resulting in heavy casualties in Beijing, Hebei and other places. Xi has been concerned about flood-affected people and paid close attention to work on flood prevention and relief as well as post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. He has made instructions multiple times, requiring relevant authorities to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, as well as to restore work and life order in disaster-hit regions. In early September, Xi visited flood-affected villagers in Shangzhi City, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. As winter approaches in northern China, Xi came to the severely flood-stricken areas of Beijing and Hebei to visit the affected people, and inspect and guide post-disaster reconstruction work.
On Nov. 10, accompanied by Yin Li, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and secretary of the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee, Yin Yong, mayor of Beijing, Ni Yuefeng, secretary of CPC Hebei Provincial Committee and Wang Zhengpu, governor of Hebei, Xi visited Mentougou District of Beijing and Baoding City of Hebei to learn about the progress in post-disaster recovery and reconstruction on site.
The Sanjiadian water diversion reservoir is a water control project in the Guanting gorge section of the Yongding River. On the morning of Nov. 10, Xi came here to hear reports on the restoration projects of the Yongding River and other rivers, and the operation of sluices, and learned about the progress in post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. Xi noted that Mentougou, Fangshan and other mountainous areas have high mountains and deep valleys, where continuous heavy rainfall is likely to cause catastrophic mountain floods, and are the key areas for flood control and prevention in Beijing. It is necessary to build and make good use of controlling projects such as reservoirs, as well as improve flood control standards for roads, houses and other buildings in mountainous areas, so as to effectively improve flood control and prevention capacity. It is necessary to sum up historical experience, address prominent problems and weak links, and follow the principle of "storing floodwaters upstream, channeling floodwaters in the middle reaches, and discharging floodwaters downstream to effectively control floodwaters" in accordance with the characteristics of Beijing's river system, speed up the restoration of flood-damaged facilities, and strengthen the construction of key water conservancy projects, so as to provide strong support for flood control in the capital.
After that, Xi took a vehicle to the Miaofeng Mountain Ethnic School. In this year's flood season, the school served as a temporary shelter for displaced residents and the place where flood prevention and relief personnel were stationed. Xi walked into a classroom, where the children were holding a theme class meeting under the guidance of their teacher. The children showed him their handicrafts with the theme of flood control and disaster relief, and reported their experiences and feelings when facing floods. Xi was very happy to hear that. He said that ensuring the flood-affected students can return to school on time is a requirement the CPC Central Committee has imposed for post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. Through the joint efforts of all parties, all schools in the disaster-stricken areas have reopened on time. It is a great relief to see the happy smiles of the children. "Your school successfully avoided risks in this flood, and played a good role as a 'safe island.' It is necessary to make good use of this vivid example, carry out safety education, and strengthen children's safety awareness and ability to avoid risks," Xi said. Children will never forget what they have experienced during this flood control and prevention effort. They should be taught to be grateful, have aspirations, and strive to become a new generation of builders of and successors to the socialist cause.
On the school's playground, he met with the families of martyrs who died on duty, grassroots Party members and officials, members of the public, fire and emergency rescue personnel, employees of state-owned enterprises, volunteer representatives and so on who participated in flood control and disaster relief. Xi noted that during the disaster rescue and relief efforts, grassroots Party members and officials took the lead in the disaster relief effort, demonstrating courage and a sense of responsibility. The People's Liberation Army (PLA), Armed Police, and firefighters bravely stepped forward and marched in harm's way. Employees of state-owned enterprises responded promptly to the call for flood relief. People from all walks of life and volunteers also actively participated in and contributed to the disaster relief work, demonstrating their greater love and compassion in the face of ruthless floods. This has showcased the salient advantage of the socialist system for being able to pool resources together during difficult times. It reflects the spirit of unity and mutual assistance across the country and the people. Many heartwarming stories have emerged from these endeavors. Tragically, some Party members and officials have sacrificed their lives. We must always remember them and make their heroic deeds known to the public. Relevant authorities should take good care of their families.
Approaching noon time, Xi visited Shuiyuzui Village in Miaofengshan Township. At the riverfront platform by the village entrance, Xi was briefed on the situation in the village. Subsequently, he walked around to inspect the looks of the village, learning about the progress of recovery and reconstruction of its infrastructures. He emphasized that after the floods, it is imperative to invest heavily in restoration and significantly improve the resilience of water conservancy facilities and flood prevention infrastructure. It is essential to adhere to a people-centered approach and make plans scientifically with a long-term view, and closely integrate the recovery and reconstruction with the promotion of high-quality development, the advancement of resilient urban construction, the promotion of rural revitalization, and the advancement of ecological environment. Targeted measures should be taken to comprehensively advance disaster prevention, reduction, and relief capabilities. In particular, efforts should be made to improve the emergency management and organization system at the grassroots level in both urban and rural areas so that the capabilities for disaster prevention, risk-aversion, self-rescue and mutual help can be strengthened.
At the home of villager Li Meng, Xi inquired in detail about the extent of damage to the house, expenses for repairs, and heating conditions. Xi stated that ensuring the safety and heating for the disaster-affected residents during the winter is a challenging task that must be addressed effectively. The winter in north China is long, and it is particularly cold in the mountains. Detailed efforts must be made to ensure heating for every household. For the households ready to move in after housing repairs, reinforcement, or reconstruction have been completed, guidance and assistance should be provided to ensure their winter heating. For those whose housing reconstruction has not been completed yet, measures such as seeking help from relatives and friends, house renting, or government resettlement should be taken to ensure they have warm places to live in.
The local residents warmly bid farewell to the general secretary when he was leaving the village. Xi said to them, "I have been concerned about the people in the disaster-stricken areas. The Communist Party is a party that serves the people and always places the people in the highest position in our hearts. Whether it is emergency relief or post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, we will spare no effort. I hope you will remain confident and work hard to build a better home."
In Zhuozhou, a county-level city under Baoding City hit hard by the severe flooding during this year's flood season, production and life order have been basically restored. On the afternoon of Nov. 10, Xi visited the Yongji Xiuyuan residential compound in Shuangta Sub-district. He first came to the pharmacy and the supermarket at the entrance of the compound, inquiring in detail about the recovery of business operations. He then visited the heating station and inspected the operation of the heating facilities. Xi urged Party committees and governments at all levels to take all necessary measures to help local residents, small businesses and enterprises that have suffered a big loss in this major disaster overcome difficulties. Urban recovery and reconstruction should be based on sound disaster prevention and reduction review and planning, in which full considerations must be given to risk and disaster prevention, such as reserving flood channels and flood discharge areas, upgrading drainage pipe networks, and strengthening the city's operational capabilities.
Xi paid a visit to the home of Dong Caiying, a local resident, inquiring in detail about the water level during the flood, emergency housing, change of furniture and appliances, heating, and related subsidies. Dong replied that with the help of Party officials, the house has been cleaned and repaired before they move in, and there is no problem with heating during the winter. Xi stressed that restoring the living environment of every household and neighborhood is the top priority in post-disaster recovery and reconstruction of urban areas. It is imperative to address loopholes and strengthen weak links and seek further and steady progress in every work, with joint efforts from organizations at the primary level, Party members, officials, neighborhoods, professional workforces from all walks of life and volunteers.
Upon his leaving, Xi talked amicably with the residents of the neighborhood. Xi told them that the disaster was so serious in Zhuozhou that he was concerned about the local residents' conditions every day. He said that he felt quite relieved seeing that the urban public service facilities have resumed operation and that residents' life has returned to normal. Xi said that as the saying goes, nothing can be achieved without undergoing trials and hardships. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, as long as everyone is of one mind for joint endeavor, they are bound to live a much better life. The second round of the theoretical study program is underway, Party committees at all levels in the disaster areas should combine the study program with the post-disaster recovery and reconstruction work closely, carry forward the spirit of the fight against flood and disaster relief, ensure that primary-level Party organizations and every Party member and official play a key, exemplary and vanguard role, and examine whether the study program is effective through the results of the recovery and reconstruction and how the people are satisfied with them.
The Wanquanzhuang Village of Diaowo Township is located at a flood detention and storage area in Langouwa. All the 311 households of the village fell victims to the disaster during the flood season this year. Xi took a close look at the recovery and reconstruction work on roads and houses. He walked into a construction site where a house was being rebuilt and learned about the loss caused by the disaster, the progress of the reconstruction work and where the owners were temporarily sheltering. Xi encouraged them to overcome difficulties in unity and rebuild a beautiful and harmonious village.
Villager Yang Peiran's house was not that seriously damaged, and it has been repaired and consolidated, and his family has moved back in. Xi walked into Yang's house and learned about their family income, the expenses on the repair work and the resumption of production. Xi pointed out that repairing, reinforcing and reconstructing houses is the top priority for post-flooding recovery and reconstruction. It now appears that the housing repair and reinforcement have been basically completed and that the heaviest and most difficult task lies in reconstruction. Party committees and governments at all levels should pay more attention to the households whose houses need to be reconstructed, and offer proper places for those who have nowhere to stay or have special difficulties to put up temporarily during the transition period. Concrete and effective measures must be taken to prevent them from returning to poverty because of the disaster.
When bidding farewell, villagers sent their regards to the general secretary loudly. Xi said to the villagers that they suffered tremendously in the flooding disaster that was rarely seen in history, and Xi said that he gave them his condolences. He said that Party committees and governments at all levels are taking a variety of measures to concretely push forward the post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. He expressed the hope that villagers should strive themselves and overcome difficulties to accelerate the pace of recovery and reconstruction and promote rural revitalization with their own efforts.
Xi walked into the farmlands alongside the village to inspect the growth of winter wheat and cabbages. He pointed out that agricultural production is an important aspect of post-disaster recovery and construction. It is not only directly associated with the incomes of villagers but also has a bearing on the national food security. It is imperative to work against the clock to restore the farmlands and agricultural facilities that were damaged in the disaster, ramp up support for supplies of agricultural resources, strengthen the guidance for agricultural techniques, organize and arrange well the agricultural production for this winter and the spring next year, so that a bumper harvest would be secured next year.
The Baigou River is a key waterway in the Daqing River Basin that serves the role of discharging floods. Xi visited the Baigou River control project (the Zhuozhou section) to inspect the development of the project and listened to the report about the post-disaster reconstruction in Hebei Province regarding the key water conservancy projects there. Xi pointed out that the rivers in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region are inter-connected and that flood control and prevention in the region should be considered from an overall perspective to study in an in-depth manner the construction of a flood-control engineering system in the region. It is imperative to stick to systems thinking, coordinate the development of drainage basins and regions, properly tackle the relations between upstream and downstream areas, the west and east river banks as well as the trunk streams and tributaries. Efforts must be made to scientifically organize the construction of reservoirs, waterways, embankment, flood detention areas in accordance with their functions, so as to build up the overall flood-prevention capacity in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
On the dam, Xi kindly visited the construction personnel of water conservancy projects and the representatives of the PLA and Armed Police forces, militia reservists and fire rescue teams who had participated in the Zhuozhou flood rescue work. He said, "during this flood relief, all forces and people from all walks of life fought together to build a strong line of defense for flood prevention and relief, to protect people's homes, which has fully demonstrated the strong political strength of our Party and country. The people should thank you, the Party and the government should thank you as well!"
Before returning to Beijing, Xi told those in the company of him on his inspection tour and local officials that under the correct decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, governments and departments at all levels have minimized the loss of the once-in-a-century flood disaster by taking effective measures. Post-disaster recovery and reconstruction involve a wide range of projects and large capital investment. Recently, the central government decided to issue an additional 1 trillion yuan of government bonds to support post-disaster recovery and reconstruction projects and improve disaster prevention, mitigation and relief capabilities. Party committees and governments at all levels and relevant departments must focus on solving real problems by doing their work on a down-to-earth manner, make sound planning and reasonable arrangements, use funds where they are indeed needed, promote high-quality construction of projects so that all projects will be built into popular ones, high-quality ones, and clean ones as well.
Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, was on the inspection tour.
He Weidong participated in the relevant activities, and leading officials of the relevant central Party and government departments were also on the inspection tour.

(@randomingoftherandomness should I be concerned regarding your Hannibal-acquired knowledge...)
!! yesss the boys just randomly picking off accessories with either deadly poison or antidotes!!! bystanders would be bewildered!! what if: Shangzhi being two halves of a whole where Yuanzhi has all the poisons on him and Shangjue with all the antidotes...
Do you guys think. That Hua gongzi would have forged some daggers for his fellow back hill gongzis that were personalised with their clan motif.
Like each one of them gets one that's customised to their fighting style, etc.
#thank you for enabling and entertaining my random thoughts#please rest well!!!!#special/deadly jewelry is fascinating indeed#people in the past had the right idea#(θ‿θ)#my journey to you#yun zhi yu

Could you tell me who 馮該 is? He appears to have something to do with Huan Xuan but google translate isnt really doing much to give me an idea
Feng Gai馮該 first appear in sources in 386 when he held rank of General who Spreads Power and was a subordinate of Huan Shimin, who was Jin's Inspector of Jing province. During the collapse of Former Qin, Fu Jian's son Fu Pi set himself up at Jinyang in Bingzhou, but in November 386 he was defeated by Murong Yong and fled south with what forces remained loyal to Dongyuan, which was located just north of the Yellow River, upriver from Luoyang. According to Huan Shimin's biography, Pi planned to attack Luoyang, which at that time was held by Jin, so Shimin sent Feng Gai to deal with Pi. Feng Gai defeated and killed Fu Pi, and sent what Qin leaders survived the battle south to Jiankang where they were pardoned.
Feng Gai next appear in 400 as a subordinate of Huan Xuan. Strictly speaking, because of the 13 year long gap and since Feng Gai doesn't have a biography, this could be a different person than Huan Shimin's general, but that sounds unlikely?
In the 12th Month of Long'an 3 (13 January – 10 February 400), Huan Xuan attacked the Inspector of Jing province, Yin Zhongkan, at Jiangling. Zhongkan's ally Yang Quanqi moved south from Xiangyang to attack Xuan. Quanqi was eventually defeated after some hard fighting and fled back towards Xiangyang. Xuan sent Feng Gai in pursuit. Gai captured Quanqi who was then executed by Xuan.
After defeating Yin Zhongkan, Huan Xuan started making preparations for his showdown with the imperial court at Jiankang. As part of this, he sent his generals Huan Zhen, Huangfu Fu, and Feng Gai to defend Penkou.
Open warfare between Huan Xuan and Jiankang, by this time practice controlled by Sima Yuanxian, Heir of Kuaiji, began in spring 402. Xuan led his forces down-river, not meeting any resistance before Liyang (on the north bank of the Jiang), headquarters of the Inspector of Yu province, the King of Qiao, Sima Shangzhi. Xuan sent Feng Gai to attack Liyang, and burn Shangzhi's ships. Shangzhi led his army out to do battle, but they were soon scattered. This battle took place on 16 April. On 18 April, Yuanxian's chief general Liu Laozhi defected to Xuan, and on 20 April Xuan crushed the final resistance, and killed Yuanxian.
In 403 Huan Xuan accepted the Nine Bestowments, by now one of the traditional steps towards usurpation. Around that time Feng Gai was stationed at Xiangyang, when in October, the Grand Warden of Nanyang, Yu Ze from Xinye, rose in rebellion and defeated Gai. Yu Ze was soon defeated, but there are no explicit mention of Gai taking part in any battles against him.
On 1 January 404, Huan Xuan took the throne as Emperor of Chu. His relatives and allies were rewarded with noble titles. Feng Gai became Marquis of Yufu.
On 24 March 404, the General who Establishes the Martial, Liu Yu, rebelled at Jingkou, he defeated Xuan's army and took Jiankang. Xuan retreated westward up-river, but suffered repeated defeats by Liu Yu's forces, commanded by Yu's chief supporters, Liu Yi and He Wuji, and Yu's brother Liu Daogui. By June, Huan Xuan had been pushed back to Jiangling. Feng Gai (then Grand Warden of Nanping according to WS) recommended he continue the fight from Jiangling, but Xuan instead wished to flee to Hanzhong where one his relatives was Inspector. Xuan's support was now dissolving fast, so nothing come of that either, instead he fled west towards Shu, but was attacked and killed on 21 June.
While Xuan was now dead, many of his clansmen and supporters were still alive, and they might not have seen much of a future for themselves in Liu Yu government. And Liu Yi had slackened the pursuit once Xuan's defeat seemed certain. So one of Xuan's nephews, Huan Zhen, managed to gather together an army, and seize control of Jiangling and the Jin emperor on 26 June.
The various biographies in the Jinshu, Songshu and Weishu covering Emperor An of Jin's reign overlap each other quite a bit, with the same wording often repeated several times. Below is an attempt to reassemble some of it in a sort of “composite translation”:
Liu Yi, He Wuji and Liu Daogui just then arrived at Jiangling. Huan Zhen and Huan Qian again assembled the multitudes to resist Yi at Lingxi. Xuan's general Feng Gai and his troops met up with Zhen, and he set up an ambush at Yanglin. Yi's army ran in defeat, and he withdrew to Xunyang.
Liu Yi then issued from Xunyang with He Wuji Liu Daogui and the army, they advanced to stay at Xiakou. At the time Zhen's General who Garrisons the East, Feng Gai defended the great bank, the General who Spreads the Martial, Meng Shantu occupied Lu Fort, the General who Assists the State, Huan Xianke guarded Yangyue Ramparts. The multitudes combined to ten thousand people, with joined warships [between] the two shores, aiding each other on water and land.
Liu Yi supervised the multitude armies to advance and chastise. He had not yet arrived at Fukou, when he encountered a gale wind sinking more than a thousand people. Yi, with Liu Huaisu, Suo Miao and others, attacked Lu Fort. Daogui attacked Yangyue Ramparts. He Wuji and Tan Zhi deployed the warships in the middle of the current, to thereby prevent [them] going past and escaping. Yi personally was accustomed to armour and helmet, [they] climbed the walls for half a day and the two ramparts both collapsed. He captured alive Xianke, but Feng Gai escaped and ran to Shicheng. Liu Yi advanced to pacify Baling.
1st of Yixi, 1st Month, 1st Month [15 February – 16 March 405], the Grand Warden of Nanyang, Lu Zongzhi, assaulted Xiangyang, and routed Zhen's Inspector of Yong province, Huan Wei.
On jichou [21 February], Liu Yi and others with the various armies stayed at Jiangling's Matou [“Horse Head”]. Zhen brought with him the Jin Emperor and set out to encamp at Jiangjin (“Jiang Ford”).
On xinmao [23 February], Lu Zongzhi again routed Huan Zhen's general Wen Kai at Zuoxi, and advanced to station at Jinan. Zhen heard of Kai's defeated, he kept behind his general Feng Gai to defend the encampment, while he himself led the multitudes for a great battle with Zongzhi. Zhen's bravery was at the head of the Three Armies, the multitudes were not able to hold out against him, and Zongzhi was defeated. Zhen pursued the fleeing, and came across Zongzhi with a single horse on road. He did not recognize him, and therefore asked about Zongzhi's whereabouts. He falsely said: “He is already fled before”. Zongzhi hence afterwards withdrew.
Liu Yi led He Wuji, Liu Daogui and others and the various armies to rout Feng Gai at Yuzhangkou, pushed the spear-points and advanced. Thereupon he entered Jiangling.
Huan Zhen saw the fire rising, and knew the city was already lost. He therefore fled north with Qian and others. The Emperor returned to propriety. Liu Daogui dispatched Liu Huaisu to pacify Shicheng. He beheaded Feng Gai and his son Shanjing.
(Two months later Huan Zhen was killed in yet another battle for Jiangling. Huan Qian escaped to Yao Xing.)

Some lasting effects of a poison Yuanzhi recently tested are hitting him hard (I.e., chest pain, coughing, bouts of dizziness, etc.) And he's trying to hide them all from Shangjue during a very full day of training/patrolling together
The bo staff catches him on his side and he’s on his knees before he can register the bloom of pain. Yuanzhi tastes the tang of copper in his mouth, bracing himself with a hand on the ground.
“Again.”
Coughing lightly, he quickly plasters on a quick pout to hide the way he’s starting to sway. “Gege, have pity on me please? You’re too good! I can’t beat you at all.”
Shangjue scoffs. Lowering the staff, he cocks an eyebrow at Yuanzhi. “Have you been practising at all? Why have you gotten this bad?”
Yuanzhi glibly shrugs, sitting down and acting as if he’s taking a minute to catch his breath and not actually pushing back on bile.
When Shangjue doesn’t immediately tell him to get back on his feet, Yuanzhi takes it as a win and gingerly flops back, trying hard not to wince when the motion rattles something in his chest. Gulping down on a moan, he works on breathing in through his nose and exhaling out his mouth.
He should have been more careful.
Running through the mental list of his latest experiments, Yuanzhi concludes that it could be one of two. Neither of which has side effects he’s too keen on.
The wisest route to take is to let Gege know that he needs to beg off any more training and slink back to his laboratory to pull up another round of antidotes. But.
Gege has shucked off the top of his robe and it is hanging around his waist. He’s taking a deep drink from his water skein and Yuanzhi’s eyes cannot help but follow the trail of sweat drops as they map their way down the strong planes of his chest, lingering only for a moment on his belly before disappearing under the moisture darkened cloth slung at his hips.
It’s mesmerising. It’s hypnotic. Yuanzhi has to shift a little to hide the stirring in his loins.
They’d barely had any time for each other lately. Gege has been neck deep sorting out the logistics for his next trip into the jianghu and he himself has been burning the midnight oil trying to produce enough of what Gege will need as products to sell and market.
Yuanzhi can’t even remember the last time they’d even done more in bed other than a quick fumble before falling into a deep sleep in each other’s arms. He supposes he should be glad for that.
But his body misses Gege’s touches and he aches a little for more than quick kisses when they catch each other in between sleeping and rushing out the door or falling into another project or two. His chest hurts at the thought.
What if Gege and him have just fallen into a lull? They’re certainly comfortable with each other and there’s no part of him that doubts his love for him. But Yuanzhi does wonder if they’ve gotten so familiar with each other. The kind of familiarity that all married couples go through when they’ve been together for awhile.
Not that Gege would ever want that with him.
Even if there’s a part of him, that small voice that he only listens to when it’s just him and his thoughts, that says that Yuanzhi would want some version of that.
His breath catches, jolting bodily when a calloused hand slides over his brow.
“You’re feverish,” Gege notes with a small frown. His brown eyes search over him. “Why didn’t you say something?”
Yuanzhi butts his head into Shangjue’s palm. Sitting up slowly, he reaches out to tug Shangjue’s hand into his lap. “It’s nothing. Just a side effect of an experiment I’m running.”
“You still—“
“I’m fine, Gege,” Yuanzhi insists with a small smile. “Really. I just want to spend time with you, is all.”
The corners of Shangjue’s plush lips tighten. Without another word, he pulls Yuanzhi into a bridal carry. Chuckling softly when Yuanzhi sputters a weak protest, he holds on to him like he is carrying a precious treasure.
“We are getting you your antidote and we’re going to spend the rest of the day in bed.”
Yuanzhi hooks his arm over Shangjue’s neck. “Don’t you have important reports to do?”
Shangjue darts in, kissing him on the cheek. “None more important than doing you.”
Yuanzhi suppresses the instinctive urge to cringe, choosing instead to luxuriate in the laughter that rings in his burning ears.

Could you do a headcanons one for Ada?
[I posted this earlier, but tumblr wasn’t showing it in the tags search, so I asked for a friend to send in the anonymous question to see if the tracking would work and well, it did. Go figure this fuckin’ site].
So, similarly to what I did with my Leon’s family and background headcanons, I’ll post here my Ada ones too. I’d like to repeat to please keep in mind that these are (obviously) my headcanons for Ada’s background and family and in no way is anyone else under the obligation to accept nor fully agree with them.
I’m glad that Capcom still hasn’t tackled Ada’s personal plot and character background, deciding instead to keep the mystery surrounding her character – and only opening very tiny holes for us to speculate.
My headcanons for Ada are very precious to me since I think that these would be the best way to further add complexity to her character and break down her purposes in the lore while also adding more layers to her relationship with Leon – and the rest of the main characters we saw her interacting with –, as the divisive line that separates Ada to the rest of them would transcend “work motives” and fall into conflicting worldviews, cultural convictions and ideology. I love to think that “as much as I wanted to trust you… I didn’t” line also applies to Ada, considering that her difficulties to trust in people would hold her back from ever explaining what she really believes in and is working towards to Leon, thinking that the prejudices his country always encouraged on the matter wouldn’t allow him to understand or even try to. We, as audience, know that the bond they share goes beyond that and would allow them to overcome these differences, but these characters aren’t aware of it.
Anyway:
– All she knows about her biological family is that her parents were political dissidents who left her behind when she was still a baby to flee China’s Cultural Revolution (let’s remember she was born in 1974);
– Lived in a very impoverished orphanage located in China–Vietnam border area that just barely had the resources to maintain the kids they sheltered. In light of that, she had to learn how to steal at an early age (six years old) so she wouldn’t starve to death;
– One day she tried to steal this Vietnamese man’s wallet, but he noticed what she was doing and of course caught up with her when she tried to escape;
– Realising she was just a hungry kid, he ended up paying something for her to eat, talked to her for a while and told her that if she ever felt hungry like that again she could find him at that plaza by noon. From that day on she would go back every day to that spot and hope to see him again;
– Despite life at the orphanage cultivating her to be a very wary and circumspect kid, she was still a small child, so it wasn’t particularly hard to gain her trust, which the man rapidly did so: talking to her every day and paying for something for her to eat;
– They talked about food, people, work, money… He spoke to her in a kind, friendly and comprehensible way, never in a patronising tone nor meaning to talk down to her just because she was a child;
– She started “working” at like… eight, carrying stuff around or fetching things people asked her to for the sufficient amount of money so she could have something to eat;
– Noticing that the man who helped her would occasionally disappear for an uncertain amount of time before reappearing as if nothing ever happened, she started asking questions. He would always respond to her in a straightforward tone, telling her that he was “working to help their people”;
– At thirteen, more inquiring than ever, she proposed helping him “to help their people” so she could pay back what he did for her;
– This Vietnamese along with two other men (a Chinese and, later, a Russian) were founders of an independent orthodox Marxist party. They helped working-class people that were marginalized by conflicts and man-made tragedies;
– Ever read about Unit 731 in Pingfang? So, here’s what I propose to you: Tao Shangzhi lost a precious part of him there (family, comrades, you decide). Met Thang Nguyên, who lost a son to the south vs north Vietnamese tension that the USA was financing, in a worker’s protest in 1965. Early 1976 they met trotskyan Vitaly Grebenshchikov, ex-KGB who defected the Soviet Union for their dawning participation in biowarfare programs, believing this to be the utmost unforgivable sign of URSS’ continued and escalating distortion of the communist agenda;
– Vitaly had the connections who possessed financial resources to make viable turning their party of three into a structured organization capable of acting;
– It was never clear to Ada if all along they planned in concentrating in particular individuals of oppressed groups specifically with the purpose of recruiting agents for the future, but the fact remains that throughout the years, Vitaly, the Russian, recruited three agents (two females, one Italian and one Romanian, and a German male), Tao recruited three (an Ethiopian female, a Mozambican male and a Cuban male) and Thang recruited two other females, one Korean and one Japanese, as well as Ada;
– Ada was the ninth member to be recruited;
– Having more people at varied age-groups, the party’s main focus was established in working to completely destroy the biological warfare and chemical arms trade industry by undermining it from the inside, as well as to collect information on biological threats to be at the forefront of the vaccination grounds;
– Although settling with twelve “fixed” members, the organization also had what they call “allied operatives”, individuals that weren’t fully recruited to their cause and in virtue of it, weren’t fully aware of their goals and means to achieve them, but could sympathize with part of the causes they did got to be informed of;
– Starting at fourteen years and a half, Ada trained with the rigour to be an Olympic class gymnast (she already had some sort of starting pointing in physical conditioning since she had to be fast to be a thief and strong to carry things around later in childhood);
– She also had thorough classes on history, geography, sociology and philosophy and some essentially basic-level in biology, mathematics, physics and chemistry;
– She can fluently speak in Mandarin, English, Japanese and Korean. Furthermore, she possesses reading and listening fluency in Russian, German, Italian, Spanish, Romanian and Portuguese;
– In her training, the most severe exigences were: knowing how to speak in English without ever giving away that it wasn’t her first language, and to maintain her composure in the most adverse of situations;
– Knows her way around Taekwondo;
– Prepared to be perfectly capable of handling various automatic weapons and firearms;
– She believes in her party’s cause, always did. She doesn’t believe, however, that humankind is worth the trouble since she was sixteen;
– Hates imperialism and was convinced that the North-American population consisted of conceited, self-absorbed and egotistical people (till she fell in love with one, ha)
– Only completed her trainings by twenty years of age, although she was already participating in “gathering intelligence” missions since fifteen;
– I love LOVE to think that even though she was bit more experienced than Leon, she wasn’t that further away from him in terms of “field capability”;
– I don’t think John Clemens was retconned with RE2R, but, rather, Capcom’s choice to suppress mentioning him in this game was just logical and appropriate since the guy died early JUNE of 1998 and it wasn’t even minimally plausible that Ada didn’t know about that (come on, she’s a spy ffs!);
– Anyway, remember Clemens was “transferred to the Arklay Laboratory outside Raccoon City to take over Birkin’s role as chief of research” but “did not have the stomach for Umbrella’s illegal weapons research” and “started to question the motives of the research there and repeatedly questioned the superiors”? Well, at first, Ada’s mission was to get close to John precisely because he could be an “allied associate” and help in exposing and dismantling Umbrella;
– Despite the respect and comradery between the organization’s members, the only member she was really close to was Thang, but he died in a mission. Seung-chae Lee and Shimizu Yuuko (not their birth/real names), Thang’s other recruits, aren’t emotionally close to Ada, but the three of them share a deeper level of mutual reverence and camaraderie in comparison to what they feel to the rest of the organization’s members;
– Also, the two know about Leon. They suggested recruiting him to Ada, but she strongly prohibited them to do so;
– When Leon says things about helping people and putting an end to injustice and inequalities, Ada almost reveals everything there is to be revealed about her to him. Almost;
And… that’s it! Next “headcanons post” will focus on more simple things I have in mind for RE Characters (including Chris, Claire, Jill, Sherry, Helena). Ada and Leon get a bit more because they’re my faves. Hope you guys enjoy.
