The original text appears to be a translation or transcription with several errors.

Headers, sub-headers, bold-type, and tables should be formatted accordingly. 2. **Reasonable adding of words and re-ordering**: Some words are missing or incorrect due to OCR problems. We will add or correct them to form complete sentences with minimal alteration. 3. **Correct spelling errors** — Primary task. 4. **Fix spacing issues** — Remove extra spaces, add missing spaces, and correct hyphenation or line-break artifacts. 5. **Rejoin broken sentences** — Merge sentences split across lines or columns without logical reason. 6. **Restore paragraph breaks** — Format the text into proper paragraphs. 7. **Indicate missing words** — Insert `...` for clearly missing words due to OCR damage. 8. & 9. **Format in Markdown and no translation** — Use standard Markdown and do not translate text. 10. **Format of File Reference** — Ensure no spacing in file references. 11. **Page numbering** — Keep 'Page XX' information as is if detected. 12. & 16. **No explanation or comments** — Do not leave any explanatory wordings or comments. 13. **Newspaper reordering** — Reorganize text from newspapers if necessary. 14. **Data in tables** — Reconstruct tables if data is clearly in a table format. 15. **Chinese writing direction** — Reverse text if it was originally written from right to left. Let's apply these rules:
