Experts say this year's extreme weather can be called a sudden outbreak

The strongest rain, snow and freezing weather since 2009, coupled with the peak of the Spring Festival travel season when thousands of people migrate, Hubei is facing severe challenges these days.

What are the similarities and differences between this extreme weather process and the 2008 rain, snow and low temperature freezing disaster in the south? How can Hubei's transportation department better overcome this crisis? How should people better cope with extreme weather? On February 6, Guo Haixiang, deputy dean and professor of the Institute of Science and Technology Development of China University of Geosciences, accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from the "Daily Economic News" in written form.

Why is there such extreme weather this year? Guo Haixiang introduced that this extreme weather has the characteristics of complex precipitation forms, large freezing rain range, and frequent transitions between rain and snow. Compared with the extreme cold wave events that occurred in 2008 and 2016, this extreme weather is dominated by rain, snow and freezing disasters. , leading to dual problems of snow and ice.

Why is Hubei particularly severely affected among the provinces affected by this extreme weather? Guo Haixiang said that in terms of spatial and temporal characteristics, this year's extreme weather and the 2008 southern rain, snow and low temperature freezing disaster both occurred in southern my country, but the area of ​​freezing rain this time was more north and east than in 2008. Hubei is located in this rain, snow and freezing weather. central location of the process.

Both extreme weather events occurred during the Spring Festival travel period. What are the similarities and differences between the recent rain, snow and freezing weather and the 2008 rain, snow and low temperature freezing disaster in the south? In addition to the differences in time and space characteristics, Guo Haixiang said that in terms of weather and climate, the climate background of the two events was the same, but the ocean background was different. "In 2008, the ocean was in a La Nina state, while this year it is an El Nino state. This background may cause a difference in duration."

In addition, in terms of evolution characteristics, the 2008 rain, snow and low temperature freezing disaster in the south was a slow-changing process, but this year's extreme weather can be called an "instantaneous" emergency.

According to reports, this year's "freeze" damage is caused by freezing rain falling and freezing instantly. Moreover, due to the strong warm and humid air flow and sufficient supply, the relative humidity continued to be above 90% throughout the entire process. In addition, heavy rainfall and freezing rain continued to fall, and various factors caused the layers of ice to pile up.

The county's wedding gift increased to 399,000 plus a house and a car

Every year around the Spring Festival, the marriage and love issues of young people are destined to become a hot topic on social media, especially for "older" rural youth.

Recently, Professor Huang Zhenhua and his team from the China Rural Research Institute of Central China Normal University released a survey report on the "Marriage Situation of Older Males and Young People in Rural Areas". The report pointed out that more than 40% of the 119 villages surveyed had the problem of "leftover men" having difficulty in getting married. .

Regarding the problem of marriage difficulties for young men in rural areas, Professor Huang's team found in a survey that among the 1,785 farmers surveyed, 825 farmers believed that the problem of marriage for older men in local rural areas was more serious, accounting for 46.2%. Among them, the eastern, central and western regions The proportions were 38.6%, 54.8% and 43.2% respectively. In other words, the central region has the most prominent problems, followed by the western region, and finally the eastern region.

There are many reasons for the marriage difficulties of older men and young people in rural areas. We summarize them as "one small, one high and three low".

First, there are fewer women of marriageable age in rural areas. Second, the cost of wedding gifts in rural areas is high. It mainly refers to the high wedding gifts in some places, which has led to the rising cost of marriage in rural areas, which has affected young rural men from leaving singles and starting families. Third, individual and family income levels are low. Fourth, the quality of academic qualifications and professional skills is low. Fifth, they have low recognition of traditional marriage concepts.

The investigation found that in some provinces, especially economically underdeveloped areas, there is a phenomenon of "sky-high price betrothal gifts" in the marriage market. For example, the amount of bride price in a county in southwestern Shandong has risen from 188,000 in 2020 to "three 99,000" in 2023. In addition, there are requirements to buy a house and a car in the county, which is equivalent to two laborers in a normal rural family. The savings from working outside the home for 5-7 years.

According to the national standards of the People's Republic of China "Classification and Assessment of Quality Grades of Tourist Attractions" and "Measures for the Management of Quality Grades of Tourist Attractions", upon recommendation by the relevant provincial culture and tourism administrative departments, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism organized a comprehensive assessment according to procedures.
