Wan Cong, an outdoor sports teacher and a trail runner of the China Mountaineering Association, participated in the last Yellow River Stone Forest Mountain Marathon 100-kilometer cross-country race with Liang Jing.

Nearly 24 years after Diana's death, however, news of bBC journalists "fraudulently visiting" Diana has caused an uproar in the UK in recent days, leaving journalists Martin Bashir, former BBC President Lord Tony Hall and the BBC in trouble.
"There are three people in this marriage, so it's a bit crowded." In November 1995, Princess Diana of the United Kingdom openly uttered these shocking words in an interview with BBC reporter Martin Bashir. In fact, after the interview was broadcast in 1995, there were voices from the outside world that bashir, the reporter who conducted the interview, used improper means to interview Diana.

It wasn't until late 2020 that Diana's brother, Count Charles Spencer, spoke out again, demanding an investigation into Bashir's use of fake documents to obtain interviews. BBC commissioned former senior judge John Dyson to lead an independent investigation into the matter.
Recently, Dyson released an independent investigation report on the matter. The report noted that Bashir had forged bank statements, suggesting that several aides around Diana were employed by British security to spy on her. He gave spencer the forged documents, prompting spencer to connect him and Diana, eventually facilitating the interview.
Bashir left the BBC last week for health reasons. In previous decades, Bashir had not publicly responded to the controversy over the interview. After the independent investigation report was released, Bashir apologized for the forged documents, but he still said he was "proud" of the interview.
In the wake of the scandal, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called on the BBC to take all measures to ensure that similar incidents do not occur again. Several British government ministers have said they will step up scrutiny of the BBC next year to rebuild the BBC's credibility. Read the full >>>
When we read history, we are often accustomed to grand narratives, and when we use details to dissect the seemingly huge and complicated history on the operating table, what will be the inspiration for us? The book "Details of History" introduced by xiaobian today shows readers the subtlest and subtlest aspects of history.
Although it is said to be a "historical detail", the author does not deliberately reduce the meaning of the writing. In fact, several of the subjects he chose were revolutionary and ambitious. Because of his engineer background, the author is extremely obsessed with technology, so the theme of the book can be summarized as follows: how the technological revolution has affected human life, and has affected all aspects of human politics, organization, and war.
In ancient times, there were agricultural revolutions, pastoral revolutions, literary revolutions, printing revolutions in the Middle Ages, industrial revolutions and electronic revolutions in modern times, in addition to these, which can be called revolutions but have not attracted enough attention, as well as several themes selected by the author: wheels and vehicles, stirrups and knights, bows and crossbows, gunpowder and guns, ships and navigation. The author looks at it from a small perspective, and discusses in detail the process from its emergence to its development to the grand view, as well as the various events that have taken place around these technologies in history, which gives people a refreshing feeling.
While narrating the details, the book also has a breakthrough in thinking. It is not satisfied with the evidence, but hopes to be able to see the problem from the perspective of the contrast between the East and the West, summarize the different effects of these technological revolutions that transcend the region to different regions, and try to find a reasonable explanation for the trade-off of each civilization.
Only by understanding what has happened in history can we understand why today is the way it is, and we can make certain predictions about the future, hoping to avoid repeating the same mistakes. To do this, it is not possible without a detailed understanding of history. In this sense, it is necessary to pay attention to the details of history, to dig out the truth from the details, not just to start from a crude ideology and construct a false mirror image according to one's own imagination, which is the most effective way to avoid future disasters.
