According to the Zhejiang Provincial Government website "Zhejiang Province People Call Me a Unified Platform", in response to the suggestion of netizens to remove Cao Wenxuan's works from the Hangzhou Reading Festival book list of "Tasting the Book Fragrance and Reciting Classics", the Hangzhou Education Bureau replied on July 13 that the two publishing houses believe that Cao Wenxuan's works "Suwu Shepherd" and "Pomegranate Boat", which were selected for the book list, have the correct content orientation and are suitable for the reading needs of primary school students.

On July 5th, a netizen left a message on the "Zhejiang Province People Call Me the Unified Platform" stating that students in Hangzhou have recently started their summer vacation. The Education Bureau organized the 19th "Tasting the Fragrance of Books, Reciting Classics" Reading and Writing Activity in Hangzhou. Among them, the recommended list of 40 classic books in primary school included two books authored by Cao Wenxuan. Last year's "toxic textbook" incident sparked attention to Cao Wenxuan's books. I hope the competent department can thoroughly investigate this matter and remove Cao Wenxuan's works from the recommended books for this event.

According to previous media reports, in May last year, writer Cao Wenxuan was accused of controversial content in extracurricular reading materials such as "Seven Colored Flowers" and "Big Chinese Language", which attracted public attention. Some netizens pointed out that the "Big Chinese Language" series includes "bare bones" folk songs, and in "Seven Colored Flowers", there is a scene of a girl eating "poppy seed" bread. According to media reports, from the context, "bare bones" folk songs are lyrics from a folk song in Wang Zengqi's novel "Taking the Precept"; Seven Colors of Flowers is a fairy tale created by a Soviet writer in 1940. Poppy seeds are used as spices abroad. Other versions are also literally translated as poppy seeds, and some versions are changed to "red beans" and "flower seeds".

Regarding the comments from the above netizens, the Hangzhou Education Bureau replied on July 13th that personnel from the relevant functional departments of the Hangzhou Education Bureau had contacted the reporter by phone on July 7th for communication.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
