Do you still remember how much it cost to buy school uniforms when you were in high school? Recently, the price of school uniforms at Guangzheng Experimental School in Dongguan, Guangdong Province has surprised many netizens and parents of students. According to the informant, the school charged more than 4000 yuan for the uniforms of the freshmen, which caused many doubts and roast. In the face of media interviews, the teachers of the school involved stated that there are over 30 school uniforms in total, with a wide variety and high configuration. The fees have been approved by the Education Bureau and the Price Bureau, and "cherish a little to wear for three years.".

On e-commerce platforms, journalists search for "comics" as a keyword, and a large number of merchants selling comic resources appear. The reporter consulted several merchants and found that many of the comic resources sold contain themes related to pornography and violence.

Some criminal gangs will take advantage of the social characteristics of minors and promote them on websites such as comics, games, and novels that minors often browse. By offering rewards, encourage users to share relevant links and continuously expand their user base. Many comics also leave dedicated social group numbers and QR codes to remind readers that "adding groups has benefits" to attract readers to join. Parents and teachers should keep track of their children's movements in a timely manner and detect any negative tendencies

However, the practices of "transplanting corn with hanging ears" and "forcibly demolishing fruit trees" are not in line with the true protection of farmland, and can be called the "pinnacle of formalism", which harms the interests of farmers and the seriousness of policies. This unhealthy trend must be stopped. Resolutely curb "non agriculturalization" and effectively
