The Embassy of the Republic of Colombia in China hosted a colloquium with Héctor Abad Faciolince, a Colombian novelist, writer and journalist. The writer shared on Tuesday his growth journey from a journalist to achieve his dream as a writer, his observation of the Colombian society and his impression about the changes in China.
In a fully packed hall, Minister Plenipotentiary Jose Fernando Bermúdez Cendales said in his opening remarks that the event is part of an initiative to bring Colombian culture closer to the Chinese public while simultaneously creating new spaces for dialogue and exchange between the two countries.
Bermúdez said that Abad's visit to China offers a particularly valuable opportunity to showcase the richness of our literature and to strengthen the cultural and human bridges connecting Colombia and China.
The session, chaired by Santiago Gamboa, writer and minister counselor of the Colombian Embassy, focused on the career and body of work of Abad and in particular, El olvido que seremos (Oblivion: A Memoir).

Abad's book is a seminal work of contemporary Colombian literature in which personal and family memory engage deeply with Colombia's recent history. Its translation into Chinese allows this story to reach new readers and represents an extraordinary opportunity to bring both societies closer together through literature, per some commentators.
"We hope this gathering will be an open conversation among cultures, readers, and experiences, and a new expression of the friendship that Colombia and China continue to build," said Bermúdez.
Abad, one of the most important voices in contemporary Latin American literature, shared with the Global Times that this is his second trip in China. The last time he visited the country was two decades ago.
This time, in his eyes, China has changed a lot. In many ways, the country stands for the future of the world.
Abad said he is surprised to see how much Chinese people are depending on the electric devices and network to communicate in a virtual world, and said that he felt "like an alien."
Talking about his interaction with readers in Shanghai, Abad smiled, saying that the readers selected some phrases from his book and asked him to write down as part of the autography and signature for them.
In his book, El Olvido Que Seremos (The Oblivion We Will Be), which is acclaimed as a "love letter from a son to his father," is not only a deeply affectionate look back at familial bonds but also a courageous attempt to defy oblivion.
Rooted in true events, The Oblivion We Will Be chronicles the life of his own father. Abad noted that his father was killed in August 1987 - nearly forty years ago.
In the Western literary tradition, a father is often portrayed as a distant or even negative figure. His father, however, was "totally different - a man of love and deep sense of responsibility in both the public sphere and his family life."
Such image of a benevolent, non-authoritarian father has impressed his Chinese readers as well, he said.
As a physician, Abad's father dedicated his life to addressing fundamental issues affecting people's well-being, such as drinking water quality and public health, steadfast in the belief that the world could be made better through action.
Abad's work addresses themes such as memory, violence, inequality, and the human condition, deeply marked by the murder of his father, an event that inspired his most iconic book, The Oblivion We Will Be was published in Chinese by Writer's Publishing House in Beijing in July.
。 10月19日消息，近日，蓝箭航天“天鹊”真空型液氧甲烷发动机（ TQ-15A）在湖州成功完成了首次全系统热试车，试验时长20秒，试验过程中发动机起动关机正常、工作平稳。

二 | 据介绍，TQ-15A为目前国内推力最大的真空型液氧甲烷发动机，真空推力达836千牛，是朱雀二号火箭第二批次的二级主发动机。

三 | 与现有80吨+10吨的二级发动机布局方案相比，取消了游动发动机TQ-11，主发动机由不摇摆改为泵前摆，降低了二级发动机系统复杂度，总重量减轻约400千克，推力室进一步增大喷管面积比，并将涡轮排气引入推力室大喷管进行冷却，解决了涡轮排气引起的干扰力问题。TQ-15A发动机真空推力提高9%、真空比冲提高130米/秒，推力调节范围拓宽至55%~110%且具备三次起动能力，可大幅提升火箭发射任务的适应性。本台TQ-15A发动机为带伺服机构不带大喷管状态，本次试车重点考核发动机系统、总装和各组合件改进方案的可行性，验证起动关机时序的正确性，获得发动机的实测性能数据及工作特性，发动机按预定程序起动和关机、工作平稳，达到了预期设计目标。

四 | 本轮试车计划开展5次试车（含两次多次起动）、累计试车时间970秒，首次试车结束后将继续考核发动机长程工作可靠性、大范围推力调节时的工作适应性、发动机与伺服系统的工作协调性，多次起动、高低入口压力及过冷推进剂等各种条件下的发动机的工作适应性，全面验证发动机设计方案，并获得大喷管条件下发动机的性能数据。朱雀二号运载火箭自2017年9月立项至今，已完成了第一批次火箭技术状态的研发工作。目前，朱雀二号Y1火箭已出厂并完成低温加注合练，Y2火箭的总装工作正在嘉兴蓝箭航天中心进行。
