China’s youth turn to immersive disaster simulations to learn survival skills_我的网站

A | 据彭博社报道，北京时间1月9日上午，苹果公司过去一年的收入和利润达到了历史新高，公司市值一度超过1万亿美元。为此，公司首席执行官蒂姆•库克（Tim Cook）获得了2018财年有史以来最大的年度奖金。

As heavy rain associated with Typhoon Dolphin continued to affect large parts of China, an increasing number of people were turning to immersive disaster simulations to experience extreme weather scenarios in a controlled environment at the Lvxing Disaster Simulation Training Center in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province. 
At the country's first natural disaster simulation venue, adult participants pay 899 yuan ($133) per person to virtually confront situations such as typhoons, urban flooding and sudden flash floods, to gain a sense of what such emergencies might feel like.
Wang Kuanghan, operator of the training center, told the Global Times that the center is designed to allow people to experience the dangers of natural disasters in a safe and controlled environment, while raising awareness of the need to respect nature and avoid potential risks.
"We hope to pass on the experience we gained from encountering natural disasters during our years of traveling around the world," Wang said. "Beyond teaching people how to respond when natural disasters strike, what is more important is cultivating an awareness of how to avoid risks." 
As of July, the center had received more than 70,000 visits this year for hands-on experiences, including tourists as well as companies and professional rescue teams that come for training. The number is higher than the same period in 2025, he noted. 
Fu Minya, a Hangzhou-based office worker, told the Global Times that she has heard of the center and would like to give it a try. 
"The frequent news reports of natural disasters in recent weeks have reminded people of how small and vulnerable we are in the face of nature's forces," she said. 
After Typhoon Dolphin made landfall in China in early August, its remnant impact brought downpours to several provinces. Chinese authorities previously earmarked 80 million yuan to support flood and geological disaster relief efforts in the Central China's Henan and Hubei provinces and East China's Anhui Province, the Xinhua News Agency reported. 
The flash flood simulation is one of the most intense experiences the center offers. Participants stand in a simulated river channel as an instructor presses a button, releasing around 500 tons of water from above. Within just three seconds, many participants are knocked off their feet, left tumbling in the rushing water and being swept toward the protective wall at the end of the channel.
"Real flash floods move even faster," said Wang. "When the water rises above knee level, it is almost impossible for an adult to remain standing. Many people instinctively think they should swim to escape, but that can be fatal."
Flash floods carry mud, branches and rocks that can quickly entangle your arms and legs. The right thing to do is to watch for warning signs of an impending flash flood, move away from the riverbank before the flash flood occurs, and quickly evacuate to higher ground on either side, he said. 
In another exercise, several participants slog ahead holding each other's arms as the facility simulates winds reaching speeds of up to 165 kilometers per hour, as well as torrential rain.
However, there are concerns that simulated disasters could trivialize the suffering of disaster victims and turn the trauma of real-life disasters into entertainment.
This is a promising new niche in urban cultural tourism, Yu Jinlong, a Beijing-based cultural scholar, told the Global Times on Wednesday. 
By striking the right balance between entertainment and public education while strictly adhering to safety protocols, such facilities can become more than just viral check-in destinations; they can serve as a replicable platform for public emergency education, Yu noted. 
In the past, disaster-prevention education largely relied on display boards and lectures, which often made it difficult for people to develop an intuitive understanding of the dangers involved, Yu said. 
Real-life simulations, by contrast, allow participants to experience firsthand the destructive force of typhoons and flash floods, turning abstract knowledge into tangible memories. This is where such facilities can offer unique social value, making them particularly suitable for educational programs for young people and emergency-response training for businesses and institutions, he said. 
The experience can be impactful, but it should not be reduced to a sensationalist spectacle. Only by combining immersive experiences with practical self-rescue training and maintaining strict safety standards can this emerging model continue to serve as a meaningful platform for public disaster-prevention education, Yu noted. 
Statistics show that 95 percent of people rescued from natural disasters survive through self-rescue, Wang said. "If you are swept away by water or hit by strong winds here, you will develop a much deeper understanding of how to respond to hazards and protect yourself."
。苹果在周二提交的一份文件中表示，截至9月29日，库克在2018财年共收到1200万美元年终奖金。再加上他300万美元的薪水和价值1.21亿美元的10年期股票奖励，库克总共获得了1.36亿美元，外加约682000美元的津贴。

B | 奖金与收入和营业收入目标挂钩，比上年平均增长16%。但是，明年要保持这样的成绩是比较困难的。上周，苹果宣布大中华区和其他地区对iPhone的需求低于预期，并在近20年来首次下调了收入预测。市场对这一消息的反应立即反映在该公司的股价上，此后股价暴跌了12%。

C | 苹果的其他四位高管也获得了400万美元的奖金，使总薪酬达到每人2650万美元（包括工资和股票奖励）。部分股权与股票回报目标挂钩；其余股权只要仍在苹果工作，就可以使用。库克的大部分薪酬来自于他在2011年获得的巨额股票奖，当时他接替史蒂夫•乔布斯（Steve Jobs）担任苹果首席执行官。股票奖励每年发放一次，并逐步增加。库克每年获得的股票数量部分取决于苹果相对于其他标准普尔500指数公司的表现。今年8月，库克赢得56万股，因为苹果的股价在三年内超过了公司股价的三分之二。在上一个财政年度，苹果的股票回报率为49%，其中包括再投资股息。回报几乎是标准普尔的三倍。
