新华社成都1月24日电（记者张海磊）海拔2000米，密林深处，杂灌齐腰，手被树枝划出血印，冷风穿过密林，脸被吹得通红……大年三十，四川森林消防总队凉山支队西昌大队的60名队员在林区的蜿蜒山路上前行。此时，山脚下的冕宁县城和90公里外的西昌市已经高高挂起了红灯笼，人们沉浸在浓浓年味中。

每年11月至翌年6月，是四川省凉山彝族自治州森林防火期。降雨量不足全年10%，在长达8个月的干旱季节里，空气干燥且多大风，林下可燃堆积物载量大，稍有不慎，极易引发火灾。加之春节期间又是用火、用电、燃放烟花爆竹高峰期，森林火险等级持续升高。西昌大队担负起西昌市内主要景区及周边林区的防火巡查工作。

24日早上8点半，5辆消防车缓缓驶出西昌大队营区，前往冕宁。

“小心点，右边是悬崖！”三中队队长冯颖边走边提醒队员。前往林区的道路丛林密集，一般车子只能开到山脚下，队员们需要徒步上山。水枪、灭火机……背着平均30斤的装备，在最大60度的坡上前行，每走一段，队员们就满头大汗。“山上没有路，我们只能边走边找路，最窄的地方大约60厘米宽，队友们手拉着手前行。”冯颖说。

深一脚浅一脚，走到山顶，向山下看去，一片片云南松郁郁葱葱，山脚下的村子安静祥和。

西昌大队是一个英雄的群体，冯颖总觉得在山里每走的一步都是责任与担当。

2019年3月，西昌森林消防大队在扑救木里火灾时，因风力风向突变，发生林火爆燃，27名队员壮烈牺牲。

从那以后，参与那场灭火的西昌大队队员们强忍着悲痛，都不愿回忆大火扑来的情形。中国科学院心理研究所的老师们对消防员们进行心理服务和干预。这群铁骨铮铮、无所畏惧，却又受到创伤的队员们逐渐恢复。“我们不仅要提供27名烈士舍生忘死、勇斗火魔直至生命最后一刻的真实场景，还要告诉战友们要勇于面对……”在那次火灾中脱险的西昌大队四中队指导员胡显禄说。

2019年6月8日上午11时许，凉山州木里县唐央乡因雷击再次引发森林火灾，凉山森林消防支队三个大队100名消防员接到任务前往扑救。

西昌大队也在其中，这是西昌大队木里火灾后第一次接到重要任务，队伍能否重上火场，所有人心里都没底。

“上，全都上，这道坎必须迈过去。”同样经历那场火灾的大队长张军很坚定。

那天，西昌大队当班的20个人全部走向火场，一路上，队伍静静的，车里没有人说话。张军带头开路，指导员赵先忠在后面押尾。

到了山脚，张军一闻到火场的味道，上次搜救牺牲战友的情景又浮现在眼前。他承认自己心里还有道坎，但任务必须要执行。

在处理两山交界的一处火头时，由于山势陡峭、滚石较多，大队决定采取间接灭火方式，用水泵喷湿火头前方树木，建立防火隔离带。

为了提高效率，4位消防员跳入齐胸深的水塘架设水泵，那一刻，一向冷静的赵先忠很激动，他想喊出来，“队伍起来了，队伍的底子还在。”

灭火任务结束，在营地进行“一战一评”总结会时，一位60多岁的心理援助老师上台给队员们鞠躬，“恭喜大家，你们跨过这一步了！”

如今，走出悲痛，苦练本领的西昌大队用大无畏的精神守护着大凉山的青山密林。去年9月起，38名新消防员分两批补充到大队里来，为大队注入新鲜血液，现在的西昌大队，“老人”和“新人”的比例几乎是1：1。这次自愿参与巡护放弃回家过年的新入队队员就有36名，他们从24日到30日要每天行走在高山密林中。

一天的巡护结束，在山上走了十几个小时的队员早已身体疲惫。车队从深山驶入闹市，车外浓浓的年味，家家户户准备起团圆饭，车内的消防员已经沉沉地睡去，在营区的队友们排练好除夕节目正等待他们归来。

CHENGDU, May 16 (Xinhua) -- A bus flipped over on Saturday, killing six people on board and injuring 20 others in southwest China's Sichuan Province, local authorities said.

The accident happened at 12:36 p.m. when the vehicle flipped over after crashing into the central guardrail on the highway from Xichang to Chengdu, according to the Sichuan provincial public security department.

Among the 36 people on board, two were killed on the spot and four died after being taken to hospital. All the 20 injured are treated in hospital, including three in severe conditions.

Further investigation of the accident is underway.


国内外早已屡见不鲜的反习舆论，随着武汉病毒祸害全球招致的世界激愤，可以说进入了一个不同数量级的高峰。只要在网络随意搜寻一下习近平，便不得不惊叹反习传言满天飞，习近平几乎成了世界性的“人人喊打”。但是这些反习传言在国际网络舆论界的声音，可以说远大于大陆内部的声音，这是因为大陆内部传言旋生旋灭，持续时间与海外从不间歇，难以相比。虽然这次发自大陆的反习声音就单独一个传言来说，持续时间并不长久，但是却传言不断，而且挺身而出实名反习也大有人在。显然这次大陆内部的反习，呈现的能量和声势远超以往。只是这次的反习能否有实际成效，还是众说纷纭，各类专家均不缺席。

其实大陆真名实姓公开反习的，在习近平废除任期制露出终身独裁嘴脸后，就一波未平一波又起持续发生。如湖南女子董瑶琼在上海闹市泼墨习挂象，清华教授许章润等共知发表批习公开信等等。但是习近平亲自部署、亲自指挥的隐瞒疫情，导致祸害全球并暴虐封城造成人道灾难后，大陆的反习传言就远不是同一数量级了。当然此前爆发经年的美中贸易战，香港“反送中”持续不断的百万人游行抗争，为这次的反习如火山爆发蓄积了巨大能量。

这次反蛮不知耻的习独裁的首先发轫者，还是敢言能言的清华大学法学教授许章润。其后，火山喷发的既有许章润一样实名公开信，又有背景明显是中共内部的匿名信。有些反习网文或传言，对大陆社会而言不啻地震。例如，人脉深广的红二代房地产大亨任志强信中，直斥习近平是被剥光了衣服也要当皇帝的小丑；再如，红二代的阳光卫视董事长陈平转发的公开信，在广受国际媒体报道和视屏展现的信中，提出召开中共政治局紧急扩大会议，由中共在位和已经离休的国级、副国级大佬讨论，习近平是否还适合继续担任国家领导人。

在大量涌现的、惊心动魄的反习传言同时，有趣的是还出现了一批为习近平开脱的公开信。例如，以习近平女儿习明泽名义的公开信，居然声称习近平并非实权在握的主席，因而这些年造成的恶果不应由其父承担；又如，习近平的弟弟习远平的公开信，除了为习近平百般辩解开脱之外，还创造了一套大左之后才能够大右的理论，说习近平唯有大左才能大权在握，然后才有进行大右改革的能量和机会，并说当下在疫情重创大陆的经济之后，习近平会陆续启动新闻舆论开放、市县普选等政治改革。

这些传言满天飞的倒习举措，究竟能否有效？网上有不少文章或是简短跟贴认为，时机已成熟。但更多的认为，只是强烈愿望：倒行逆施的习近平已是死到临头；并认为不仅是习近平一人遭惩处，整个中共专制体制也风烛残年将扫入历史垃圾堆。当然也还有另外一种不那么乐观的声音，认为习近平完全控制了军警宪特暴力机器，社会没有形成有效的反对力量，尤其是组织力量，而中共内部现在几乎清一色是以权谋私的庸官，全部心思是保住官位和攀爬更高权位，没有为社会甘冒风险的担当，甚至没有篡夺大位的政治魄力和野心。而大陆社会虽有勇者但过于零散，一冒头便被镇压，所以可见的未来看不到希望。

其实大陆及国际舆论场掀起如此猛烈的反习风，虽然公开信的署名者真真假假，甚至可笑到狱中的薄熙来也有一封反习信在网上，但是其中透露的信息有几点却是真实确切的：第一是对习近平掌权后的所作所为非常不满，要求进行评估、检讨和承担责任已显露趋势。例如众多的公开信中，不论反习还是为习辩解，对习掌权后的所作所为的负面评价高度一致。最多不过辩解习未掌实权的坏事不应全堆他身上，或现在习的所为是为控制大权后顺利安全的政改。

第二是中共内部乃至中央层面产生了政治歧义，因为这些公开信不论是公开署名或匿名的，其手法皆是中共自文革以来内斗的惯技。在社会上放风散布传言披露攻击政敌的劣迹，在毛泽东发起文革后就成了中共内斗常态，也是四人帮及文革派招致恶感原因之一。这次反习的众多网文及传言，其信息和透露的内情及思维模式，处处显示是局内人所为，而非外人能够表达的。

第三是反习呈现喷涌不竭之势，而习近平则捉襟见肘镇压已显疲态，甚至难以为继了。2016年最早要习近平下台的公开信，是中共轰动天地以举国之力侦破镇压的大案。从公开信出现，到党媒“无界新闻”包括老总等多人被警方抓捕，再到香港知名媒体人贾葭在北京莫名失踪，不过是数天、十数天的事情，随后并将这家党媒取缔了。然而今天，虽然对直斥习近平是裸身争帝的小丑的任志强也抓捕了，但风传此案阻力重重，难以进行。至于其他大量反习公开信，包括与邓朴方残联讲话精神相吻合的邓朴方公开信，习近平一方均装聋作哑隐忍了事，明显不是习近平不想镇压，而是不能有效运用暴力镇压了。

当然，仅仅这些并不足以断定习近平就将败亡收场，毕竟控制着暴力苟延残喘的独裁者并不少见。但是这种反习局面无疑大大增加变数，七六年清明节前天安门运动，七八年底的民主墙运动，也是社会对掌权者强烈不满，而中共内部的反对势力借助这种不满，以暴力政变或胁迫政变实现了权力更换。今天反习潮起，未尝不会促成再一次中共内部权势的冯妇再做，而对大陆社会来说，虽然尚不能彻底解决中共的专制问题，但总不会比习近平的倒行逆施更糟糕。

The Chinese president needs to introduce new laws to prevent and control epidemics and improve punishment. No self-criticism for the silence on the coronavirus and the delay in leadership decisions. Xu Zhangrun, former law professor at Qinghua University: the tyranny and suppression of civil society at the root of the spread of the virus. Xu Zhiyong: Xi has to step down because he is "unable to manage crises".

Rome (AsiaNews) - "The prevention and control of infection" requires "a commitment based on the law, which is scientific and orderly". Thus, Chinese President Xi Jinping said yesterday at a meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on governance.

According to Xinhua, Xi stressed that in China it is important to "improve legislation related to the prevention and control of epidemics, strengthen support for institutions and improve punishment procedures".

Xinhua does not quote any word from Xi about the crisis facing the country. The coronavirus epidemic that originated in Wuhan is now widespread in all regions of China and to date has killed over 560, with nearly 30 thousand infected. At least 51 million people are in forced or voluntary isolation; hundreds of millions of people are suffering the repercussions for the closure of the factories, for the fallout of the economy.

Xi has been silent for a long time and only after the virus emergency was declared on January 23 last did he have some words of support for the nation's "war" against the "demon" of the epidemic.

What is increasingly evident is that what has not weathered the crisis is the structure of Chinese society, in particular the information control system, which has delayed the public awareness of the seriousness of the epidemic for weeks while it spread throughout the country. The other major limits to a prompt response is the hierarchical and top-down structure of power that does not allow a mayor to take action without the approval of Beijing's central leadership.

In this sense, Xi's words yesterday are a great self-acquittal to confirm the party's dictatorship and control over information when the need for freedom of the press and the distribution of responsibilities with the criterion of subsidiarity is now plan for all to see.

After a certain silence, the big regime press returned to placing photos of the "heart of leadership" and the "Xi's corner" on the front page, where every word of the president, party secretary, director of the Central Military Commission, responsible for reforms, etc. is exalted. But here and there on the web there are criticisms that after a few hours are obscured and the authors arrested.

Xu Zhangrun, a law professor at Qinghua University, has published an article criticizing the leadership for failing to control the coronavirus epidemic. Xu - who for another article against Xi's lifetime presidency was suspended from teaching in 2018 - first accused this "tyranny" of destroying "the Chinese political system" that was heading for reforms after the death of Mao Zedong .

According to Xu, Beijing's crackdown on civil society and freedom of expression has made it impossible for people to respond immediately to the outbreak alarm. According to his friends, Xu - who already lives under surveillance - will soon be arrested.

Two days ago it was Xu Zhiyong's turn. He published an article on social media asking Xi to step down because he is "unable to handle crises" such as the trade war with the United States, Hong Kong protests and the coronavirus.

Xu Zhiyong is the founder of the New Citizens movement, a human rights lawyer, who has already suffered four years in prison for speaking in defense of democracy and against corruption of party members.

At present, Xu Zhiyong lives hidden and escapes the police, although he is very active on social media. At the beginning of the year, he posted a note criticizing xi Jinping's "new model of totalitarianism".


到星期五（1月3日）为止，武汉已有44人感染一种病因不明的病毒性肺炎，其中11人病情严重。这是中国官方公布的统计数字。中国卫生部门表示正在进行病原鉴定和病因溯源。已排除流感、禽流感和腺病毒感染等常见呼吸道疾病。

与此同时，新加坡和港澳台等地加强检疫措施。新加坡机场开始检测来自武汉的旅客的体温，该国医院被要求严查过去两周内去过武汉的发热患者。世界卫生组织表示密切关注，并与中方保持联系。

武汉市卫健委本星期二（12月31日）公布的感染病例是27例。尽管患者在几天内新增17人，但该部门今天的通报说，初步调查没有发现明显的人传人证据，也没有医务人员感染。

44名患者中有些是武汉市华南海鲜城的摊贩。武汉市卫健委的通报说，该海鲜城的“环境卫生处置工作”已经完成，

患者的症状主要是发烧，少数人呼吸困难。目前所有患者都在武汉市接受隔离治疗。另外还有121人因曾与患者密切接触受到观察，同时卫生部门在继续追踪其他接触过患者的人。

武汉市公安局1月1日在其官方微博发布通报说，有八人散布、转发谣言，造成不良社会影响，被公安机关传唤处理。

HONG KONG/KUALA LUMPUR (AP, THE STAR/ASIA NEW NETWORK) - Hong Kong authorities activated a newly created "serious response" level on Saturday (Jan 4) as fears spread about a mysterious infectious disease that may have been brought back by visitors to a mainland Chinese city.

Five possible cases have been reported of a viral pneumonia that has also infected at least 44 people in Wuhan, an inland city west of Shanghai and about 900km north of Hong Kong.

The outbreak, which emerged last month, has revived memories of the 2002-2003 Sars epidemic that started in southern China and killed more than 700 people in the mainland, Hong Kong and elsewhere.

The serious response level indicates a moderate impact on Hong Kong's population of 7.5 million people. It is the second highest in a three-tier system that is part of a new government plan launched on Saturday to respond to infectious diseases of unknown cause.

The city's health department added an additional thermal imaging system at Hong Kong's airport on Friday to check the body temperature of arriving passengers. More staff have been assigned for temperature checks at the West Kowloon high-speed rail station that connects Hong Kong to the mainland.

Countries, such as Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam, are also carrying out temperature screening on passengers arriving from Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province.

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam, on a visit to the West Kowloon train station on Friday to review the health surveillance measures, urged any travellers who develop respiratory symptoms to wear surgical masks, seek medical attention and let doctors know where they have been.

The Wuhan health commission said 11 of the 44 people diagnosed with the pneumonia were in critical condition as of Friday. All were being treated in isolation and 121 others who had been in close contact with them were under observation.

Most of the cases have been traced to the South China Seafood City food market in the suburbs of sprawling Wuhan, where offerings reportedly include wild animals that can carry viruses dangerous to humans. The commission said the market has been disinfected.
