Erinome: Hello dear friends! Welcome to today's news roundup. I'm Erinome, and sitting next to me is Enceladus. Let's see what's happening around us today, shall we?
Enceladus: Hi everyone! Let's start with the weather first, maybe? It's getting cold lately, right?
Erinome: Oh yes! The strongest cold air this year is coming! From the 14th to the 20th, it will sweep across China from north to south. Northern areas might feel "winter comes in one night", and the long "autumn tiger" in the south will end. Brrr, time to get thick clothes!
Enceladus: Wow, really? I need to check my winter coat tonight. So cold so fast!
Erinome: Next, about cars. Did you know? China now has 550 million drivers and 460 million vehicles! Both the total number and the increase are the first in the world. That's a lot of cars on the road!
Enceladus: Oh, I see more cars every day. But more drivers mean we need better traffic rules, right?
Erinome: Exactly! And good news for new car owners: from November 1st, the police will fully promote "one-stop" license plate service for new Chinese-made small cars. No need to go to the vehicle management office anymore. So convenient!
Enceladus: That's great! Saving so much time. I remember my dad had to run around for his car's license before.
Erinome: Now, for job seekers: the 2026 national civil service exam starts registration on the 15th. They will hire 38,100 people. The age limit is relaxed to 38, and for fresh master/PhD graduates, up to 43. That's good for older candidates!
Enceladus: Oh, that's a big change! My cousin is 35, maybe he can try now. Hope he gets lucky.
Erinome: Let's talk about food. The National Food and Reserves Bureau said on the 14th that autumn grain purchase starts officially. This year's autumn grain harvest is sure, and they expect to buy 180 million tons. So we have enough food!
Enceladus: That's a relief! Harvest means no hunger. Farmers must be happy after hard work.
Erinome: Sad news next: a "success master" named Yang Taoming cheated 380 million yuan. He got life imprisonment in the second trial. He once said he could sell a hair for 60,000 yuan and a white paper for 40,000 yuan. That's crazy!
Enceladus: Oh no! Who would believe selling a hair for 60,000? Cheating so much money, he deserves it.
Erinome: Now a lucky story! In Xiaogan Hubei and Nanjing Jiangsu, there were two 10 million yuan lottery wins. The winner is the same person! He said he couldn't eat or sleep for days after knowing. Haha, I would be nervous too with so much money!
Enceladus: Wow! So lucky! 10 million is a lot. Maybe he's worried about how to use it? I hope he enjoys it.
Erinome: Guangdong's medical insurance bureau is asking for clues about insurance fraud. From now to December, the top prize is 200,000 yuan. That's to stop people cheating the insurance system.
Enceladus: Good! Insurance is for people who need it. Cheating is bad, so reporting is important.
Erinome: JD.com will release a new car on November 9th. Media thought JD is entering the car industry, but JD said they are working with CATL and GAC Group, not making cars directly.
Enceladus: Oh, so it's a cooperation, not their own factory. Maybe a smart car? I'm curious.
Erinome: A scary thing happened to a Chinese tourist in Thailand: a guide threatened, "If you don't spend, you can't go back to China." The Chinese embassy said Thailand is investigating the travel agency. That's not right!
Enceladus: Oh no! Travel should be fun, not forced to spend. Hope the guide gets punished. Tourists need to feel safe.
Erinome: Last, sports news! Japan's men's football team beat Brazil 3-2 in a friendly. They are the first Asian team to beat Brazil this century. Wow, that's a big win!
Enceladus: That's amazing! Asian football is getting stronger. I didn't expect Japan to beat Brazil. Cool!
Erinome: Okay, that's it for today's news. Thanks for listening, everyone!
Enceladus: Yeah, see you next time! Bye!
