Ren Suxi’s Hometown Hope Well challenged Trump and was selected as one of the four Tsing Yi, and his appearance also became an advantage.

Ren Suxi, Li Xueqin, Shi Ce and Wang Zixuan starred in the urban women’s initiation drama "Hometown, Hope that you are well", and the video logged into Tencent is being broadcasted.

The play and I’m fine in a foreign land, which scored 8.1 in Douban two years ago, are a companion piece and the second part of the planned trilogy. However, this time, several starring roles were changed, telling the story of four girls who grew up together. As adults, they went to the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, scattered all over the country, but a turning point in their lives made them reunite with their hometown of Chengdu. In the face of their long-lost hometown, they have experienced all kinds of ups and downs, and finally they can find infinite stories of life in their hometown.

In a more straightforward way, not so literary, to briefly introduce the plot is actually the current discussion on the social phenomenon of anti-urbanization.

How can a single woman with high education, knowledge and age choose a big city that she can’t stay in and a hometown that she can’t go back to? What will be discussed and developed in detail? This is what the screenwriter needs to do for everyone. The detailed plot should be slowly realized in the play. Among them, the first thing you can appreciate is Ren Suxi’s excellent acting skills as always. Just right, Ren Suxi’s recent online hot discussion about the post-85 selection of Tsing Yi is still among the best.

Excellent lines, good accents.

With the hit of the series, the film also released a video of a quarrel between Ren Suxi and Shi Ce. Soon, this video was circled on the Internet.

The reason for leaving the circle is very simple. The video doesn’t need to type a line subtitle. The audience can hear what Ren Suxi said clearly and articulate very clearly. Compared with the recent period, people’s ears have been polluted frequently. When they hear the accents of the so-called actors using original lines, Ren Suxi’s mouth is the basic skill of an actor’s lines.

Not only that, Ren Suxi also challenged Mandarin with a little Sichuan flavor this time, which is also known as Trump.

Speaking Mandarin with Sichuan accent is definitely a big challenge for Ren Suxi, a northern girl. Speaking of it, in the eyes of many people, it seems that Ren Suxi, who has filmed a lot of TV dramas about the background of Northeast China, seems to be a girl from Northeast China. But in fact, she was born in Shandong, and she is a serious Shandong girl. This really surprised everyone. It’s really rare for a Shandong girl to slip away from the Northeast at ordinary times, so that everyone has no sense of disobedience at all. Northeast dialect is not difficult to learn, but the suitability of that accent is not easy to grasp. This time, Ren Suxi jumped to Chengdu again. Speaking of Trump, this is what an excellent actor should look like.

The appearance of the four Tsing Yi is also an advantage.

Recently, online discussion has reached the age of 85, who should be the four Tsing Yi? Among them, Zhang Xiaofei, Tanya, Ren Suxi, Rayza and others got a relatively high number of votes, ranking among the best.

Several of them can stand out, on the one hand, naturally because their role types and images in recent years are more in line with everyone’s definition of Tsing Yi; On the one hand, everyone recognizes their acting skills.

Coincidentally, Ren Suxi, who has always been said to be an ugly woman, has become an advantage to her at this age. Some people say that Ren Suxi is like the mainland version of Japanese-winning actress Sakura Ando. Not a stunning beauty, but a mature woman who looks good and looks very intelligent.

Back in the early years, we would laugh at Ren Suxi’s face, which looks like a donkey. However, with the growth of years and age, this long donkey face has not only failed to become a deduction item for her, but has made everyone feel a little wise and wise. This is precisely at different stages of people’s age that people have different views on the same thing. Just as it is difficult for some actresses to be promoted from Xiaohua to Qingyi, it is often because of their faces and looks that their development is limited. When I was a young actor, I was laughed at by everyone, but now I have become a symbol of Ren Suxi’s maturity.

Market demand is rising, and more choices will be made in the future.

With the gradual maturity of the market, the needs of the audience tend to be diversified. The audience no longer blindly want to see those little flowers in modern idol dramas fall in love, but are more tired of being silly and sweet. The market needs some mature female roles to fill the gap. In other words, there will be more and more room for the survival and development of actresses like Ren Suxi. Then, as long as Ren Suxi has excellent acting skills and waits for the right time, she will have her own moment to shine.

Concern | Luo Yixiao is gone, please take away the controversy and leave a consensus!

  CCTV News:This morning, Luo Yixiao, a girl with leukemia in Shenzhen, died, and her parents hoped to donate her body and organs. However, the hospital said that Luo Yixiao is an acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In this case, the cornea and various organs cannot be donated for transplantation. Luo Yixiao’s parents decided to donate the child’s body and let medical experts do pathological research to find a cure for leukemia.

  In September 2016, Luo Er’s daughter Luo Yixiao was diagnosed with leukemia; In November, due to several articles by Rolle, the story of Rolle and his daughter was screened in the circle of friends, and the donation of love was like a tsunami. However, it was later revealed by netizens that there was a marketing company behind it, and Rolle had a house and a car. Since then, the Rolle family has been in a public opinion storm.

  The "Luo Yixiao Event" that has been screened several times.

Rolle began to record her daughter’s medical treatment process on WeChat, and every time after that, "the number of related articles was only a few hundred and thousands".

November 23 rd

November 25th.

"Luo Yixiao, stop for me" began to screen.

  After consulting with his old friend Liu Xiafeng, Rolle decided to push Rolle’s article in the WeChat public account "P2P Observation" of "Little Copper Man". Every time the reader forwards it, the "Little Copper Man" gives 1 yuan a smile, and the reward amount reaches the daily limit of 50,000 yuan.

In the early morning of November 30th.

Crazy rewards break through the upper limit of WeChat

  The article "Luo Yixiao, stop for me" smashed the circle of friends. In just a few days, the reading volume was close to 100 million. In the early morning of November 30, the amount of appreciation exceeded 1 million yuan in just one hour, breaking the upper limit of appreciation set by WeChat. Fifty minutes later, at 1: 20, the appreciation came again, with a total amount of more than 2 million yuan.

On the afternoon of November 30th.

Netizens questioned and the hospital announced the expenses, and public opinion quickly fermented.

  Some netizens opened the property under Raul’s name — — In addition to three properties in Shenzhen and Dongguan, there are two cars and an advertising company. Shenzhen Children’s Hospital also announced the cost of treatment, but it paid 30,000 yuan. Public opinion is rapidly fermenting.

December 1 ST

Wechat donation returned in full.

  Shenzhen Civil Affairs Bureau, Luoer, Xiaotongren Internet Finance Company and Tencent issued a joint statement: all the appreciation funds of 2626919.78 yuan were returned to netizens in the original way.

  The ups and downs of the circle of friends charity temporarily came to an end, however, the pain of the Rolle family did not stop.

December 4th.

The house should be left to the son.

  In an interview, Raul said that the house in Shenzhen should be left to his son, one in Dongguan belongs to his wife now, and the other is for his retirement. Raul’s "frankness" once again detonated public opinion.

  On the evening of December 14, "Luo Yixiao, you give me a resistance" On the evening of December 14, Raul once again posted a message on her daughter’s illness in a circle of friends. The article was titled "Luo Yixiao, you give me a resistance". He said in the article that his daughter has been in the intensive care unit for 22 days. During these 22 days, she hardly ate or drank. At the end of the article, Raul also exposed his daughter’s latest treatment expenses, which cost 280,000 in 37 days.

December seventeenth

Luo Yixiao suffers from hemophagocytic syndrome again.

  Her father said that she only accepted judicial investigation. On December 17th, the 101st day after Luo Yixiao was admitted to the hospital, her condition was still not optimistic. Besides leukemia and organ infection, she also found hemophagocytic syndrome, and her condition was more complicated. Regarding some questions on the Internet, Rolle said that he is only willing to accept the investigation of the judicial organs at present.

December 24th

Luo yixiao died

  Charity rules can be discussed, but love can’t be doubted.

  The "Luo Yixiao Incident" is the focus news of the network this year, and the public opinion dispute is also very big. The main viewpoints are divided into two factions. One group thinks that Luo Yixiao’s father, Raul, conceals his personal property, has many properties under his name, and has the ability to bear his daughter’s medical expenses. In this case, asking for help through the Internet is suspected of fraudulent donation, not to mention that he also cooperates with a company, which is also suspected of hype marketing; The other school thinks that although Raul didn’t explain his property status when asking for help, it is true that his daughter Luo Yixiao suffers from leukemia, and individuals have the right to ask for help through the Internet, which does not violate the spirit of the new charity law implemented on September 1.

  The controversy itself even exceeded the public’s concern about Luo Yixiao’s illness. The reason why the degree of attention is so high reflects people’s sensitivity and anxiety about fraudulent donations, and also stems from the anger of many people that their feelings may be manipulated and consumed. However, the controversy itself just shows that in the era of mobile internet, there are fuzzy areas and gray spaces in the rules of fundraising. For example, how to supervise the funds obtained by individuals through rewards or direct help from social media? What is the responsibility of social media platforms? How to truly make the use of funds open and transparent? To put it bluntly, how to prevent scammers from catching a ride on Internet charity? In the "Luo Yixiao incident", the reward funds were finally returned by the original way. Although this is a way to calm the dispute, it is not the fundamental solution to the problem.

  In addition, the information dissemination mode of social media provides powerful mobilization ability for help seekers, and its explosive power is amazing. Raul received more than one million reward funds in one day. This mobilization ability also provides the possibility for manipulating public emotions and consuming public feelings, and even plays the role of an amplifier.

  Today, Luo Yixiao has left, which is undoubtedly a heartbreaking news. When we bid her farewell, we should try our best to let these disputes subside with her departure. At the same time, more importantly, the whole society should put aside disputes and reach a consensus on charity in the era of social media, so that the sun shines into the gray area and there are clear rules to navigate in the fuzzy space. Otherwise, the next "Luo Yixiao incident" may be hard to avoid. For the public, despite the controversy, the heart of kindness and compassion cannot be discounted. Charity rules can be discussed, but love can’t be doubted. Every dispute should be a process of accumulating consensus. Only in this way can the dispute be meaningful.

Behind Gree Midea’s Fighting from a Distance: Detonating the Old Enemy’s Old Account of New Chou He

Original Wei Shiwei intelligent things

Aspect: Gree’s "China Mobile Bidding" War! When will prices, patents, and talents dig corners, and when will they be avenged for ten years?

On July 7th, Gree Electric and Chongqing Midea issued announcements one after another last night, questioning and clarifying their "fraud" behavior in the bidding process of China Mobile.

Gree took the lead in publishing "Who is practicing fraud in mobile bidding projects?" at 11: 21 yesterday. "Open letter" refers to the fact that Midea is inconsistent with the facts in the mobile bidding project. Nearly eight and a half hours later, Midea released the Clarification on Invoice Information and Technical Parameters of China Mobile Project, responding to Gree’s query.

Since China Mobile Purchasing and Bidding Network released the Announcement on the Handling Results of Negative Behavior of Zhuhai Gree Electric Co., Ltd. on June 1st, the incidents of "fraud" between Gree and Midea around the procurement projects of both parties have continued to ferment.

Wisdom systematically combed the incident of Gree and Midea, and refined two important time nodes: First, China Mobile disclosed Gree’s "fraud", and Gree responded that the confrontation between the two sides was ready; Second, Gree directly named the surname and questioned the beauty, and the response of the beauty pushed the battle between the two sides to a climax.

Who is right or wrong in this bidding "tearing" war? As the two giants in the field of household appliances in China, the recent bidding events of two major manufacturers are only an opening to make the competition contradictions between the two sides public.

In fact, there has never been a shortage of quarrels between Gree and Midea in terms of market, patents and talents, especially in the two most important HVAC markets. Gree Midea’s revenge has never stopped.

China Mobile disclosed Gree’s "falsification" announcement, and Gree stated its response.

The source of this incident should start from June this year.

On June 1st, China Mobile announced that Gree Electric had cheated in the centralized procurement project of high-pressure centrifugal chillers in China Mobile from 2020 to 2021, and decided to cancel Gree Electric’s bid-winning qualification, and deducted 5 points from the comprehensive evaluation score of centralized procurement of high-pressure chillers, low-pressure chillers and other similar products that Gree participated in in in the next three years.

This means that China Mobile’s two bidding packages with a project scale of about 400 million RMB will all be won by competitor Midea, and at the same time, the "starting line" of bidding scores in the next three years will be 5 points behind.

In fact, this announcement did not immediately attract widespread attention. It wasn’t until January of July that relevant media began to report on this bulletin. The remarks of "Gree’s false standard" were frequent, and the whole home appliance market exploded and became increasingly fierce on the Internet. The rapid fermentation of the news of "false standard" attracted Gree’s attention.

Time advanced to July 4, and Gree finally couldn’t help it. He directly issued a statement to clarify "Shouting".

Gree claimed that a large number of news about Gree’s "fraud" in the bidding was untrue, and explained that the "fraud" mentioned in China Mobile’s bulletin was mainly due to material arrangement errors.

The specific mistake is that the bidders of Gree regional distributor project team sorted out and declared "Huawei Tuanbowa No.8 plot industrial project (Phase I)" won by Gree as "Huawei Tuanbowa No.8 plot industrial IDC project (Phase I)" when submitting the application performance certification materials.

In other words, the material errors of these two projects with only the difference of "IDC" directly made Gree miss the bid package that was about to come to hand. And is this really a material error, or is it intentional? We don’t know yet.

In response to this work mistake, Gree said that the responsible person has been seriously dealt with. At the same time, Gree also specifically mentioned in the announcement that its investigation found that the remarks and behaviors of malicious slander attacks on Gree on the Internet were "made by a certain peer company in Guangdong" and it will reserve the right to pursue its legal responsibility.

Although Gree didn’t explicitly point out who "a certain peer company in Guangdong did", it was also obvious that it was going to throw this "pot" to Midea Company headquartered in Foshan, Guangdong.

At this point, the conflict between Gree and Midea has not been directly put on the table, and the two sides still remain calm, but the undercurrent under the table is ready to move.

Gree followed closely the "falsification" of the disclosure of beauty, and the clarification response of beauty.

The first round of "war" came to an end, but only two days later, Gree once again "raised his gun".

On July 6th, Gree rushed to release "Who is practicing fraud in the mobile bidding project?"? "open letter, began to dig up the old accounts of the United States. Gree mentioned in an open letter that there were two "fraudulent" behaviors in the early stage of Midea’s bidding for China Mobile.

One is "Inconsistent invoice information". Gree said that it found that the invoice information provided by Midea was inconsistent in the information disclosure of "Information Verification of Centrifugal Chillers for High-pressure Chillers" issued by China Mobile on September 5, 2019, and it was inquired in the State Taxation Bureau that "there is no such invoice".

Second, "technical parameters do not meet the bidding standards". Gree pointed out that the early China Mobile bidding "2017-2018 Centralized Procurement Project of High-pressure Centrifugal Chillers" required 2500RT of bidding cooling capacity, but at that time Gree found that the maximum cooling capacity certification of Chongqing Midea AHRI Laboratory was 2200RT, which did not meet the bidding requirements.

Gree found through inquiry that as of February 26th this year, the AHRI official website of Midea did not show the relevant test-bed certificate of China Mobile’s bidding project, and it was not until the end of March that the 3000RT test-bed certificate was added.

In response to the above two questions, Gree said that he had made many feedbacks to China Mobile, but judging from the results, Chongqing Midea not only won the bid many times, but even won the bid only many times.

After this open letter, Gree not only turned the finger of "fraud" to the United States, but also questioned the bidding review of China Mobile from the side.

Eight and a half hours after Gree’s open letter was released, Midea quickly released the Clarification Notes on Invoice Information and Technical Parameters of China Mobile Project in the official Weibo at 19: 51 on the same day, which officially responded to this matter for the first time and for the "last time", directly pushing the debate between the two sides to a climax.

In this note, Midea pointed out that Gree’s doubts about China Mobile’s bidding project were "not true", and said that "the Qing Dynasty cleared itself", and the relevant evidence had already been clarified to China Mobile during the bidding process.

Regarding Gree’s point that the invoice information is inconsistent, Midea’s statement is that the project team members made a clerical error when manually filling in the invoice number, and the original invoice has passed the audit of the on-site auditors at the supplier qualification audit meeting.

As for the problem that Gree pointed out that the technical parameters did not meet the bidding standards, Midea disclosed the relevant AHRI certification and third-party testing report, but did not directly explain why it "failed to meet the bidding requirements" at the time of bidding, and it was not until this year that relevant technical certificates were added.

At this point, we can see that Gree has always taken Gree Electric and Dong Mingzhu from the media as its own positions, and successively exported to Midea and China Mobile, while Midea only responded once in the Weibo account in official website, which seems to be comfortable.

China Mobile, the tenderer of this "debate" between the two sides, has not yet responded to this incident.

Gree’s beauty has been contending for more than ten years.

Gree and Midea are not the first time to provoke a war in the air-conditioning market, among which HVAC is the most important battlefield in the long-term game between the two sides.

It is understood that in 2019, Gree’s main business air conditioning revenue was 138.665 billion yuan, accounting for 69.98% of the total revenue; Midea’s main business HVAC revenue was 119.607 billion RMB, accounting for 42.99% of the total revenue.

Gree and Midea’s wolf smoke are not only ignited in the HVAC market.

According to the report of State Grid, as early as 2009, Gree and Midea had already started a "price war" on air conditioners, from 6.8% discount to 6.5% discount, from "unconditional return of some air conditioners" to sending 100 yuan coupons, and the battle between Gree and Midea around the air conditioner market became more and more fierce.

In addition to the price war, the "struggle" between Gree and Midea is also reflected in technology, talents and patents, which directly leads to the contradiction rising to the situation that the leading bodies tear each other.

In 2015, Dong Mingzhu spoke publicly at the Zhuhai Industrial Transformation Work Conference. In order to obtain Gree’s air conditioning technology, in 2014, "a well-known domestic enterprise" not only tried to recruit Gree’s technical talents, but also brazenly set up the office responsible for poaching outside several bus stops at Gree’s headquarters.

Speaking of this poaching incident, Dong Mingzhu said that "Gree Electric sent someone to beat the other side".

▲ Dong Mingzhu, Chairman of Zhuhai Gree Electric Co., Ltd.

In response to Gree’s "beating", Fang Hongbo, a professional manager of Midea at that time, once responded stubbornly, "Everyone who comes out of Gree will not need beauty".

▲ Fang Hongbo, Chairman and President of Midea Group Co., Ltd.

In addition, from 2008 to 2017, Gree has repeatedly sued the United States around air-conditioning functions, patents and trademarks. Among them, in June 2017, Gree filed a lawsuit in the court, infringing on Gree’s "Refrigeration King" series of air conditioners, infringing Gree’s utility model patent right, and claiming 50 million yuan.

Midea is not idle. After Gree won the case, Midea initiated four lawsuits in Suzhou, Guangzhou and other places, claiming that Gree infringed on its invention patents and utility model patents, and the accumulated claims exceeded 50 million yuan.

Interestingly, in addition to price wars, technology poaching and patent wars, Gree and Midea also "burned" the war into their respective financial reports. Both of them claimed that their central air-conditioning market share was "the first in the market" in the 2019 annual report, and each was king.

It is understood that Gree’s revenue in 2019 was 198.153 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 0.02%; The net profit was 24.672 billion yuan, down 5.84% year-on-year. Midea’s revenue in 2019 was 278.216 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.14%; The net profit was 24.211 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.68%.

Air-conditioning market crisis behind the mutual tearing war

Behind the tearing war between Gree and Midea, it also reflects that China’s central air-conditioning market has entered a stage of weak development.

Dong Mingzhu publicly said in March this year that Gree’s revenue loss in February this year was as high as 20 billion due to the novel coronavirus epidemic.

We set our eyes on the whole industry. According to the latest data of "Mechanical and Electrical Information Central Air Conditioning Market" published by Mechanical and Electrical Information Magazine, the central air conditioning market in China experienced an annual negative growth for the first time in 2019, and the market showed a sluggish trend in all four quarters, with a year-on-year decline of 3.61%.

This also means that the general trend of continuous growth of China’s central air-conditioning market for many years has gone, and the market winter has arrived.

At the same time, under the influence of Sino-US trade friction, real estate extrusion and the slowdown of macro-economic growth, the central air-conditioning industry has gradually changed from the initial incremental market to the stock market. In addition, the novel coronavirus epidemic has worsened this year, and the market challenges faced by home appliance companies such as Gree and Midea are even more severe.

Under the cover of the cold winter in the whole air-conditioning market, how to seize more market share in the stock market has also become a vital event for all enterprises.

Faced with the concerns about the development of the whole central air-conditioning industry, the "fraud" war fought by Gree and Midea around the bidding of China Mobile is undoubtedly a microcosm of air-conditioning players speeding up fierce fighting and grabbing the market for survival.

Conclusion: the battle for survival of home appliance giants in the cold winter of the market

From the initial price war, patent war, talent grabbing, to today’s bidding competition, Gree and Midea’s air-conditioning market, which is the "enemy", has gradually entered a new turning point.

Under the new industry trend, grabbing more market share in the stock market is undoubtedly an important means to stabilize the position of their respective industries, but what is more important is not only to stabilize the market "throne", but how to seize the opportunity of the times and continuously add value to enterprises through technical means in the environment where technologies such as AI, 5G and Internet of Things are gradually maturing. This is the best way to gain a foothold in the market for a long time.

Think tanks should have an insight into consumption trends and release consumption potential.

ZHIKUYAOLAN
editorial comment/note
Global consumption hotspots are constantly emerging, and they inspire great potential. On the one hand, the concept of global consumers has gradually changed. On the other hand, digital transformation has brought about profound changes in consumption patterns. New models such as online shopping and social media marketing are constantly developing. With the release of consumption potential and the improvement of consumption environment, the consumption market in China is also changing. E-commerce and cross-border shopping continue to enrich consumers’ shopping choices. In the future, the improvement of consumer experience, the support of policies and the rise of consumer groups such as silver-haired people will further promote the development of the consumer market.
New changes have taken place in the global consumer market
Reading tips:Changes in the global consumer market have provided new impetus for economic growth. "Towards 2025: Global Consumer Outlook" points out that global consumers are changing from cautious consumption to purposeful consumption. Under the condition of economic uncertainty, consumers pay more attention to goods that enhance their sense of happiness and abundance. By 2025, global consumer spending will increase by 3.2 trillion US dollars, among which more than 131 million new consumers will flood into the market. According to the Big Data Analysis Report on the Regional Development of E-commerce in China released by the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, the online sales of e-commerce market in China increased by 10.11% in 2023. The development of e-commerce in the eastern region is leading, especially in Zhejiang and Guangdong, which has become an important market for e-commerce. Young and middle-aged consumer groups have gradually become the main force of e-commerce. There are obvious differences between men and women in consumption preferences. The Outlook of Global M&A Trends in 2024: Consumer Market published by PricewaterhouseCoopers shows that although global investors are cautious about M&A transactions, with the rise of the middle class and investors’ increasing attention to health and tourism, there will be more M&A opportunities in the consumer market in 2024. In addition, the number and amount of mergers and acquisitions in the global consumer market declined in the first half of 2024, but it is expected to pick up in the second half.
Towards 2025: Global Consumer Outlook: Global consumers are shifting from cautious consumption to purposeful consumption.
Nielsen IQ recently released "Towards 2025: Global Consumer Outlook" (hereinafter referred to as "Outlook"), which shows that although the current uncertainty still exists, consumers are shifting from cautious consumption to purposeful consumption, which not only maintains resilience, but also is more cautious and purposeful in consumption, and gives priority to those goods that can enhance the sense of wealth and happiness.
Outlook pointed out that with the global economy facing persistent and unprecedented challenges, insight into consumer behavior has become a key task for enterprise development. Outlook comprehensively analyzes the impact of economic trends on consumer confidence and changes in consumer attitudes, as well as the key factors that have an impact on purchasing decisions. Outlook predicts that by 2025, global consumer spending will increase by 3.2 trillion US dollars, an increase of nearly 6% compared with 2024. At the same time, more than 131 million new consumers will flood into the market, which indicates that the growth of new consumers will reach a new peak.
Outlook shows that the wealth accumulation of global consumers shows a trend of differentiation. On the one hand, the economic stability of many consumers is gradually improving, while on the other hand, many disadvantaged families are still trying to cope with the increasing basic living costs. Although the overall job market remains stable, fluctuations in key industries make even people with relatively stable financial conditions remain cautious. However, it is worth noting that in the past year, the consumption trend of consumers has continued to shift to the safer end of the economy, with 27% of consumers surveyed saying that their economic situation has not been affected or improved, compared with 21% in the same period in 2023.
The Outlook also shows that from the perspective of consumption expenditure, groceries and household goods still occupy an important position in the expected increase in expenditure, including fresh food (34%), fresh meat (26%), health nutrition (25%) and dairy products (23%). Consumers plan to continuously reduce spending on non-essential items, such as outdoor catering (38%), outdoor entertainment (37%) and food delivery/take-away service (36%). The purposeful consumption around family entertainment (48%) and social/party spending (46%) may remain unchanged in 2025.
Big Data Analysis Report on Regional Development of E-commerce in China: The scale of cross-border e-commerce market in China is growing rapidly.
According to the Big Data Analysis Report on the Regional Development of E-commerce in China released by the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce (hereinafter referred to as the Report), online sales in China increased by 10.11% year-on-year in 2023, among which Shanghai’s e-commerce sales accounted for the first place in China. The "Report" pointed out that the national e-commerce development showed a trend of "strong in the east and weak in the west". The number of shops, sales volume and sales volume in the eastern region accounted for 61.58%, 86.88% and 89.89% respectively in China. Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Shandong and Shanghai are the first echelon of e-commerce development in the country. The sales of e-commerce in the six provinces and cities account for 82.25% of the country, and the sales account for 83.37% of the country.
The "Report" pointed out that young people aged 31 to 40 have become the main force of e-commerce consumption, and this group accounts for a relatively high consumption in the field of improving the quality of life. People aged 24 to 30 are highly interested in digital products and household items, and people aged 41 to 50 account for the highest proportion of consumption in the field of culture and entertainment.
It is worth noting that in the online consumption of various commodities in 2023, the proportion of men is higher than that of women. The consumption preference of male groups is concentrated in the fields of real estate purchase, outdoor sports, computer digital, accessories watches, office equipment and so on; Women’s consumption preferences are mostly maternal and child products, daily necessities and other relatively high-frequency consumables, as well as medical health, household appliances and other daily necessities.
The "Report" mentioned that the scale of the cross-border e-commerce market has grown rapidly, and the development model of the comprehensive test area has become increasingly mature. In 2023, China’s cross-border e-commerce import and export was 2.38 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.6%. In the first half of 2024, China’s cross-border e-commerce import and export was 1.22 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.5%, which was 4.4 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate of China’s foreign trade in the same period. The top five comprehensive test areas of cross-border e-commerce transactions are all from the eastern region, accounting for 48.69% of the total cross-border e-commerce in the country. In 2023, the import and export volume of Shanghai cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test area reached 262.39 billion yuan, ranking second among the 165 comprehensive test areas in China.
Global M&A Trend Outlook in 2024: Consumer Market: The global consumer market is expected to see more M&A transactions.
PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Outlook on Global M&A Trends in 2024: Consumer Market (hereinafter referred to as Outlook) shows that more M&A transactions are expected in the consumer market, but the timing is not clear. Investors are also cautious when choosing transactions.
Outlook pointed out that compared with the first half of 2023, the number and amount of M&A in the consumer market decreased by 22% and 4% respectively in the first half of 2024, among which the decrease of M&A amount was not obvious, mainly due to several new large-scale transactions. In the first half of the year, M&A activities of investors from the Middle East, India and Japan increased, and this trend is expected to continue. This also shows that the rise of the middle class may bring more domestic trading opportunities, and companies with healthy balance sheets are also seeking investment opportunities.
Outlook believes that more M&A transactions are expected to occur in the consumer market in the second half of the year, but investors are also more cautious when choosing transactions because of the uncertain timing. In the second half of 2024, the hot spots of M&A in the consumer market focus on health and welfare, hotels, tourism and leisure, packaging and consumer goods. Consumer goods companies will continue to check their business portfolios. Besides business portfolio optimization, it is expected that three themes, namely initial public offering (IPO) and privatization, merger and adjacent acquisition, and bail-out M&A, will affect M&A activities in the second half of 2024.
Outlook also pointed out that the pressure of transformation through mergers and acquisitions to meet the needs of fast-growing consumers has not been effectively alleviated, and it is expected that transaction participants will focus on transformation and transaction preparation in the near future. Once the overall market situation improves and trading performance improves, trading activities will grow rapidly in the next 6 to 12 months.
Multi-party efforts to release China’s consumption potential
Reading tips:The scale of China’s consumer market is constantly expanding, but consumers are still cautious about prices and expenditures. The Survey Report on Consumers’ Willingness to Consume in China in the Third Quarter of 2024 shows that consumers’ willingness to consume is generally in the boom zone, but they still feel high about the market price, especially in the context of slowing income growth, and consumers tend to guarantee their purchasing power at low prices. At the same time, although consumers are active in tourism, they are more cautious in spending, especially for high-income groups. In the future, it is necessary to stabilize consumers’ expectations and increase income, and improve the social security system. The Report on the Development of Shopping Tourism in China released by china tourism academy shows that shopping tourism is gradually becoming a trend, and more than 90% consumers have shopping behavior during their travels. The rise of experiential consumption promotes the transformation from tourism shopping to shopping tourism, emphasizing the combination of shopping and cultural experience. In the future, the construction of shopping and tourism destinations should focus on cultural experience, the needs of tourists, supply chain cooperation and digital transformation. The 2024 Consumption Report of Silver-haired People points out that the consumption difference between silver-haired people and young people is narrowing. Its consumption in education, fashion, science and technology and other fields has increased significantly, and it shows strong consumption power and acceptance of new things. The consumption of silver-haired people is upgrading to active health, leisure and entertainment.
Investigation Report on Consumers’ Willingness to Consume in China in the Third Quarter of 2024: Consumers’ Willingness to Consume in China is generally in the boom zone.
China Small and Medium-sized Business Enterprises Association and Lixin Data Research Institute recently jointly released the Survey Report on Consumer Willingness in China in the Third Quarter of 2024 (hereinafter referred to as the Report). According to the Report, consumers’ willingness to spend in China is generally in the boom zone.
According to the Report, some consumers surveyed believe that the current market consumer price is still on the high side. Under the background of slow income growth, especially expected income growth, they expect to ensure their purchasing power to grow steadily through low prices of goods. In addition, consumers have a positive attitude towards travel, but tend to be cautious about tourism expenditure, and the budget of tourism expenditure of high-income consumers has dropped significantly. Consumers’ choice of tourist destinations is based on the principle of proximity, and they prefer to travel freely. In addition, travel agencies should actively develop tourism projects that adapt to semi-self-help tours and customize independent small group tours, so that the demand side and the supply side of tourism can be smoothly connected.
The Report makes the following recommendations. First, we attach great importance to and earnestly implement the policy objectives of "stable expectations, stable growth and stable employment" and solve the core problem that affects consumer consumption, that is, the problem of having money to spend. The second is to further promote the improvement of social security such as pension, employment and medical care, so as to solve the problem that consumers dare to spend without worries. Third, we attach great importance to the signal that consumers are concerned about the consumption environment in the third quarter, and try our best to improve the current consumption environment through various means such as law, administration, culture and education. Fourth, attach great importance to the important influence of expectation on consumption behavior, strengthen expectation management, including attaching importance to and caring for the rare opportunity of stock market recovery, and actively promoting the investment of patient capital. At the same time, increase the proportion of securities investment in consumers’ family financial assets, maintain the optimization of consumers’ family financial assets structure and the appreciation of the total amount, and promote the growth of consumption through wealth effect. Fifth, because some consumers are still unclear about the Action Plan for Promoting Trade-in of Consumer Goods, it is suggested that publicity should be intensified, and publicity channels should be actively broadened to let more consumers know about the policy.
China Shopping Tourism Development Report: It is a trend that "tourism shopping" moves towards "shopping tourism".
China tourism academy recently released the Report on the Development of Shopping Tourism in China (hereinafter referred to as the Report). This is the first report of domestic shopping and tourism industry, which interprets the development status and future trend of shopping and tourism industry in China.
According to the Report, with the trend of experiential consumption becoming more prominent, it has become an industry trend to move from "tourism shopping" to "shopping tourism". More than 90% of the respondents have shopping behavior during their travels, and nearly 70% of the respondents have simple or complete shopping plans before shopping, so tourists have strong shopping initiative. According to the Report, the trend of experiential consumption makes the "tourism shopping" that only focused on commodity purchase in the past gradually turn to "shopping tourism" that regards shopping as an experiential activity, and the compound shopping place is gradually developing into an independent shopping and tourism destination, from closed to open in physical space, from shopping to leisure and then to cultural experience in tonality.
The Report summarizes four directions for building shopping and tourism destinations in the future. First, strengthen cultural experience and shape distinctive personality. The second is to attach importance to tourist groups and improve the quality of experience. The third is to strengthen the cooperation between upstream and downstream supply chains of tourism and develop experiential shopping and tourism routes. Fourth, continue to promote digital transformation, continuously improve the convenience of offline shopping based on digital technology, and further enrich the shopping experience.
"2024 Silver Hair Consumption Report": The consumption difference between silver hair people and young people in China is shrinking.
The consumption report of silver-haired people in 2024 issued by JD.COM Institute of Consumption and Industrial Development (hereinafter referred to as the report) shows that the consumption difference between silver-haired people and young people is narrowing. In recent years, the consumption of silver-haired people in education, fashion, science and technology, sports and other aspects has increased significantly. From January to September this year, the turnover of silver-haired people purchasing education, training and jewelry increased by 284% and 201% respectively compared with the same period in 2019. The turnover of local life and travel, mobile phone communication, beauty and skin care, digital and outdoor sports all increased by over 70%.
According to the Report, with the rapid development of social economy and the dynamic changes of the elderly population, the new generation of silver-haired people, represented by the "post-60s", have generally higher education level, consumption power and ability to accept new things. They are innovating the inherent image of silver-haired people with brand-new life attitudes and strong consumption power, showing a new look of silver-haired people crossing the digital divide, paying attention to self-investment, pursuing healthy social relations, expecting personal value improvement and actively enjoying life.
At present, silver-haired people and young people have more "intersections" in the consumption of sub-categories, and the consumption of gold and silver investment, gold, hetian jade, coffee utensils, fruits and other categories has increased significantly in both groups.
According to the Report, silver-haired people have become a new kinetic energy for online consumption growth, with their spending power and willingness to spend greatly improved and the types of shopping more abundant.
The "Report" also shows that the active health awareness of silver-haired people is constantly improving, and their consumption power in nutrition and health care, traditional nourishing and sports and fitness is getting stronger and stronger. From January to September, 2024, the turnover of gastrointestinal probiotics and health wine increased by more than 10 times and 3 times respectively, the turnover of medicinal materials and codonopsis pilosula increased by more than 60%, the growth of fitness equipment such as kettle bells, leg clamps, horizontal bars and arm exercisers all exceeded 100%, and the turnover of peak rackets, badminton steamers and badminton trainers all exceeded 80%.
The leisure and entertainment consumption of silver-haired people has been continuously upgraded, which has driven the consumption growth of photography, tourism and musical instruments. For example, the turnover of live broadcast equipment has increased by over 100%, and silver-haired people are also "big pet owners". They pay more attention to the quality of life and health and safety of pets in their consumption decisions, and are willing to buy high-quality food, supplies and health products for pets. The data shows that the turnover of prescription cat food and prescription dog food increased by 332% and 102% respectively, the turnover of pet health products increased by 111% respectively, and the turnover of pet vaccine, pet medical service, pet prescription drugs and pet food increased by more than 70% respectively.

Wired | This China girl who "doesn’t know sports" became the torchbearer of the Tokyo Olympics.

Hou Jiayi.

After the Tokyo Olympics was postponed, the Olympic flame has been placed in a "secret location" for preservation. For those torchbearers of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the dream of passing on the Olympic spirit can only wait for the coming year.

In the waiting crowd, a torchbearer is different. She is not an athlete or a celebrity, and even knows a little about sports itself, but she once occupied the "C" position in the front page news of official website of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee.

The "non-compliant" torchbearer is Hou Jiayi, a 27-year-old girl from China, who went to work in Japan after graduating from American graduate school in 2018. At present, she works as an engineer in a German company in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.

In an exclusive interview with a reporter from The Paper, Hou Jiayi admitted that she would inevitably feel some regret. However, for this young man, his ambition to connect with the world has only been postponed for one year. "I will be a torchbearer next year."

Hou Jiayi’s countdown clock for Tokyo Olympic Games.

The Olympic flame, so far and so close.

"count down has started again." On April Fool’s Day, Hou Jiayi wrote on her social media, accompanied by a photo of the countdown card, which read "478 days before the opening of the Tokyo Olympic Games" …

Everything seems to be back to the starting point.

Due to the delay of the Olympic Games, the Olympic torch relay scheduled for March 26th was also cancelled. However, the Japanese Olympic Organizing Committee later decided that the flame will be exhibited in Fukushima for one month on April 2-this city that suffered from nuclear disaster is the first stop of the torch relay.

"I saw in the news that the flame will be exhibited in Fukushima for a month, and I felt that I was not far from there, so I drove to see it." Two days after the Olympic flame was exhibited on April 4, Hou Jiayi arrived at Fukushima National Football Center by car for three hours from Tochigi Prefecture.

Like Hou Jiayi, many Japanese people have come here to see the "true content" of the flame. However, in order to avoid crowded people, strict admission measures have been taken in the Flame Exhibition Hall. "I feel that the protective measures here are still in place."

According to the regulations, only six people can enter the museum to watch the flame at a time, and each visitor must keep a distance of more than 1 meter, and stay for no more than 30 seconds. In addition, everyone must wear a mask and disinfect their hands before entering the museum.

"Although 30 seconds feels a little short, it is quite interesting to see the kindling lamp at close range." Hou Jiayi recalled to the The Paper reporter the scene at that time. "Many local people in Fukushima went, and it felt good to bring them hope in this form."

As a torchbearer, Hou Jiayi is undoubtedly lucky. Although she just looked at the flame from a distance, she felt the sacredness more closely than most people. However, after three days (7th), the flame exhibition was urgently stopped due to the severity of the epidemic …

"One in a Million" China Torchbearer

Hou Jiayi once went to her torch relay. "Each torchbearer is about 200 meters away and needs to run in 3 minutes."

Although it’s only a short distance of 200 meters-the conditions for being an Olympic torchbearer are far more demanding than those for being an Olympic volunteer, and they are often celebrities in sports and other fields in China.

For example, Satomi Ishihara, a Japanese superstar, is the torch ambassador for the Tokyo Olympic Games and will participate in the torch relay.

In contrast, Hou Jiayi, who is also a torchbearer, is neither a Japanese celebrity nor an athlete. According to the incomplete statistics of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, among the 10,000 torchbearers, about 0.2% are from China.

Then, why was this 27-year-old China girl chosen as the "chosen son" for the torch relay in Japan?

"Maybe I was chosen by accident." Hou Jiayi is very modest about her identity as a "one in a million" torchbearer. She originally wanted to take part in the second leg of the domestic relay in Japan-the Tochigi torch relay in the middle of Honshu Island.

According to the rules of Tokyo Olympic Games, there are many ways to openly recruit torchbearers. For example, you can register directly with the local government, or through Olympic sponsors and insurance companies. In addition, the organizing committee will have its own recommended places.

Hou Jiayi registered with Tochigi County Government. The reason is also very simple. She has worked in a German machinery manufacturing enterprise here for two years. "I work and live here now, and I really want to do something for it."

Therefore, in the column of declaration reasons of Olympic torchbearers,Worked as a volunteer in Sochi and Rio Olympics.Hou Jiayi wrote: "I hope to promote the charm of that beard by becoming a torchbearer." It is precisely this and her experience that BOCOG took a fancy to-promoting local natural and cultural features to Japan and the world..

Hou Jiayi (middle) is a volunteer for the Rio Olympics.

"I was relieved after announcing the extension."

In fact, the torch relay of this Olympic Games was originally "ill-fated"-the torch relay originally planned to be held in Greece was terminated after only one day, and all the performances at the handover ceremony were cancelled. Even the torch was blown out twice by strong winds after arriving in Japan …

Hou Jiayi is very calm about the torch relay under the epidemic situation. She believes that the torch relay should not be carried out under such circumstances. "If I am infected and passed it on to others without knowing it, I personally think it is very unworthy."

Hou Jiayi told the The Paper that it was stipulated in the Torchbearer’s Manual issued to them by the Japanese Olympic Organizing Committee that torchbearers should not wear masks in the torch relay. "When I saw this article, combined with the news at that time, I felt very dangerous."

Later, the Japanese Olympic Organizing Committee changed this rule in an email to torchbearers: The Olympic Organizing Committee said that torchbearers can choose to wear masks if they are worried about the COVID-19 epidemic, and warned everyone to take their own temperature. If it exceeds 37.5℃, they should not participate.

In this regard, Hou Jiayi is still not too optimistic. "The torch relay is two-way. It is not only to convey Japan’s determination to host the Olympic Games to the world, but also to be responsible for its own people. If the epidemic spreads, people should be considered first. "

"So, I feel relieved to announce the extension." Hou Jiayi said bluntly.

Although the desire to participate in the torch relay this year has been dashed, BOCOG assured these torchbearers that they can continue to participate in the torch relay next year. "As far as I know, most torchbearers in Japan are still willing to wait, and so am I.." 

Japanese actress Satomi Ishihara participated in the rehearsal of the Tokyo Olympic torch relay.

"I want to be a bridge connecting the world"

Like most post-90s generation, Hou Jiayi has the unique characteristics of this generation of young people: compared with previous generations, they often have a distinct sense of self and independence, a broader vision and greater ambitions.

Hou Jiayi was born in Zhengzhou, Henan Province in 1993. As early as 17 years old, she left home to attend high school in the United States and obtained a master’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis, USA. It is this overseas study experience that makes this China girl attached to the Olympic Games.

Like most American students, Hou Jiayi also hopes to have a "Gap Year" to increase her experience. Therefore, she has been paying attention to various voluntary activities since her freshman year (2013). "This will allow me to understand the cultures of different countries faster."

Just at this time, the Sochi Winter Olympics was recruiting volunteers, so Hou Jiayi signed up and volunteered for three months. She was deeply touched by this Olympic experience. "I think this is not just a sports event, but more an economic and cultural exchange."

Hou Jiayi is in Sochi Winter Olympics.

Although she usually doesn’t pay much attention to sports, Hou Jiayi was shocked by the Olympic spirit. At that Winter Olympics, when Zhang Hong won the first gold medal in the history of the Winter Olympics for China’s speed skating, she couldn’t help being proud and excited.

The Olympic Games has an intangible charm that makes Hou Jiayi very "superior". After that, she once again became a volunteer for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, and also set up a domestic volunteer organization to help more Chinese who are interested in serving the Olympic Games to realize their dreams.

"When you are a volunteer, someone tells you what help he needs, and then you help him; But as a torchbearer, I think more about what I can do for others, and I may take the initiative to think more. "

Of course, Hou Jiayi is not satisfied with this. She wants to gain rich life experiences through different experiences.

"I hope I can not only become a bridge between Japan and China, but also become a bridge connecting the world."

Utilization rate increases, supply decreases: Pfizer and EU have a dispute over vaccine supply in COVID-19.

Recently, many countries around the world have started large-scale vaccination programs, but the global epidemic situation is still grim, and every link of vaccine supply makes governments particularly nervous. On January 8th, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) updated the regulations, allowing the COVID-19 vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer and German company BioNTech to take 6 doses of vaccine per bottle, one more dose than before. This seems to be good news, but the move by pharmaceutical companies to reduce the supply of vaccines has caused a storm.

On December 28th, 2020, in a hospital in Rome, Italy, medical staff prepared for COVID-19 vaccination. Xinhuanet

One bottle =6 doses of vaccine?

Pfizer -BioNtech vaccine is packaged in a small glass bottle, and it needs to be extracted with a syringe when it is injected. When European Medicines Agency(EMA) approved the vaccine in December last year, it stipulated that a bottle should extract 5 needles. According to the British "Financial Times" reported on January 20th, some health professionals have found that there are often extra vaccine liquid left in the bottle. Xinhua News Agency previously quoted the Associated Press as saying that pharmaceutical companies usually inject more vaccines into bottles than needed to ensure that sufficient doses can be provided even if there are losses such as spillage.

Pfizer and BioNtech decided to reduce the number of vaccine bottles shipped to European countries in view of the increase in the dosage that can be extracted from each bottle. According to a statement sent by Pfizer to the Financial Times, the company can make such adjustment because the delivery agreement between the company and governments has always been based on "dose" rather than "vial" quantity.

Drug regulators in the United States and the United Kingdom have also suggested that 6 doses of vaccine can be extracted from each bottle. British supply contracts with Pfizer and BioNTech are also based on dosage rather than vials.

Pfizer also said that it will supply to countries according to the supply agreement and the effective dose label on each bottle of vaccine, and will fulfill its supply commitment according to the existing agreement.

However, for practical operation, this adjustment is not just as simple as changing the dose of each bottle. In order to ensure that 6 doses can be extracted from a bottle of vaccine, medical personnel must use a special "low dead volume syringe".

It is understood that this syringe is specially developed for COVID-19 vaccine. The so-called "dead volume" comes from the gap between the plunger and the needle of the syringe, which will leave a small amount of vaccine liquid, while the low dead volume syringe can reduce the amount of vaccine left.

But even if this syringe is used, it does not mean that the "complete sixth dose vaccine" can be extracted from a bottle. Medical staff may need to extract as much vaccine liquid as possible from one vaccine bottle, and then combine it with the liquids extracted from other vaccine bottles to form an appropriate dose and inject it into the human body.

However, European Medicines Agency(EMA) expressed its opposition to the practice of "mixed vaccine". The agency warned that if the residual liquid in a single vaccine bottle is less than 0.3 ml after pumping 5 doses of vaccine, it should be discarded together with the vaccine bottle.

On December 27th, 2020, a medical worker was vaccinated with COVID-19 in an infectious disease hospital in Bucharest, Romanian capital. Xinhuanet

Pharmaceutical companies reduce supply and vaccination plans slow down.

Although the EU allows one more dose of vaccine per bottle, the actual landing is not easy. After the vaccine supplier announced a reduction in delivery, health officials across Europe warned that the change in delivery prevented them from completing the vaccination schedule set at the beginning of this month and carrying out the first vaccination for enough people.

The health department in Hamburg, Germany, said that this change means that the vaccine vaccinated now is about 20% less than before. Melanie Leonhard, head of the department, said that the epidemic situation in this area is getting worse with the further tightening of vaccine supply.

Pfizer -BioNtech vaccine has been widely inoculated in the European Union since December 27th, 2020, but about one third of the EU member states complain about insufficient vaccine supply.

In November last year, Pfizer and BioNTech reached an agreement with the European Commission to supply 200 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine in 2020 and 2021, and the EU has the right to purchase up to 100 million additional doses. It is understood that the vaccine delivery will be carried out in stages to ensure the fair distribution of vaccines within the EU according to the terms of the contract. Vaccines for Europe will be produced at BioNTech’s manufacturing plant in Germany and Pfizer’s manufacturing plant in Puurs, Belgium.

In addition to reducing the supply due to the "six doses per bottle" regulation, Pfizer and BioNTech issued a statement on January 15 this year, saying that in order to achieve the goal of increasing vaccine production, the company changed its production process, which would "temporarily affect" the vaccine delivery progress from the end of January to the beginning of February.

Domenico Arcuri, Commissioner of the Emergency Committee of Covid-19, Italy, said earlier that Pfizer will cut the vaccine dose delivered to Italy by 29% from January 18th, and this situation will continue after this week.

Will the "saved" dose be supplied to developing countries?

The decrease in supply caused by the adjustment of production process, coupled with the impact of the new European Medicines Agency(EMA) guidelines on the dosage of each bottle, has led to increased tension between Pfizer and BioNTech and European governments.

Arcuri said that Italy planned to take legal action against Pfizer "in the next few days". "The vaccination work cannot be slowed down, especially for Italians who have already received the first dose of vaccine."

Some EU member states have called on the EU to take a tough stance against Pfizer and other vaccine suppliers. An EU diplomat said: "We need the European Commission not only to act as a coordinator with pharmaceutical companies, but also to negotiate with them on behalf of 450 million Europeans." The official also said, "Only by taking a tough stance can 70% of adults be vaccinated before summer."

Pfizer and the European Commission held an emergency conference call on January 18th to discuss how to ensure that all countries can extract the sixth dose of vaccine from each bottle and the future production schedule.

In a statement to the Financial Times, the European Commission said that Pfizer and BioNTech "must respect" the vaccine delivery reached with the EU. The European Commission "very much welcomes" the extraction of the sixth dose from a bottle of vaccine, but at the same time emphasizes that it is not allowed to waste any dose or bottle of vaccine.

People familiar with the matter told the Financial Times that according to European Medicines Agency(EMA)’s guidelines, Pfizer believes it is only fair to fulfill its contractual obligations with European countries and supply the remaining doses to developing countries.

Beijing Film Festival focuses on Alfonso Cuarón’s "Rome" to determine the introduction.

1905 movie network news With the grand opening of the 9th Beijing International Film Festival, Alfonso Cuarón, as one of the three filmmakers focused by the "Focus" unit of the film festival, will show two of his works at the film festival. Alfonso Cuarón, who won two Oscars and the Golden Globe Award for Best Director in the United States, is undoubtedly a successful foreign director in Hollywood, bearing the pinnacle of his endless homesickness, and is determined to introduce to the mainland.

Alfonso Cuarón used "Rome" to remember the past honor and set off expectations.

There is no doubt that the two works shown at the Beijing International Film Festival are Alfonso Cuarón’s representative works. Sons of Man and, which are both sci-fi themes, contain Alfonso Cuarón’s thoughts on the future and science, while Rome is the director’s memory of the past. Alfonso Cuarón, who is used to doing a lot of study and research before shooting, was more concerned with inner excavation when preparing Rome. He once said: "This film is to cooperate with my past and face my past directly, which makes me have to explore more private private areas. There are 90% scenes in the film, which have long been invisible in my memory. More directly, in fact, this film is also a process of reshaping self and reshaping collective memories. "

Alfonso Cuarón was born in Mexico City, and he has been in Hollywood for many years. He returned to his hometown of Mexico for filming this time, and reached the peak of his career with "Rome". Up to now, Rome has won 120 awards and nominations, including the Golden Lion Award at the 75th Venice International Film Festival, the best director, the best cinematography and the best foreign language film at the 91st Oscar, as well as many heavy awards such as the british independent film awards, the New York Film Critics Association Award and the Golden Globe Award in the United States. The honorary Rome has also set off the expectations of many film critics and mainland fans.

The picture is simple and magnificent, and the feeling is pleasing to the eye. An epic film praising women.

Alfonso Cuarón, who is always full of all kinds of metaphors in the camera, brings this trait to the extreme in Rome. Rome, which uses black-and-white images and natural lighting effects, can bring the audience a simple but magnificent impression, such as a slowly opening picture scroll. In Alfonso Cuarón’s seemingly restrained but affectionate camera language, this film brings the audience an epic film praising women.

The film tells the story of Cleo, a young maid, who works for the Sophia family who has been separated from her husband for a long time. Cleo and Sophia, two women of different classes, are hurt and betrayed by the other half almost at the same time. In Mexico, which was in turmoil in the 1970s, they seemed to be weak, and faced the hardships of life with tenacity and courage. The whole film is full of strong feminist colors.


How to Promote the Green Transformation of Economic and Social Development —— Interview with Wang Guanghua, Minister of Natural Resources

Natural resources such as land, ocean and energy are the material basis, space carrier and energy source of economic and social development. In the new year, how to ensure that these natural resources elements and macro policies work together to support high-quality economic development? How to firmly hold the red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land and ensure national food security? What new progress has been made in building a beautiful China where man and nature coexist harmoniously? Wang Guanghua, Minister of Natural Resources, accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from CCTV.

Optimizing the guarantee of resource elements and stabilizing the economic market

 Wang Guanghua said that since 2022, faced with the impact of unexpected factors, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have adopted a series of macro-control measures to maintain overall economic and social stability. In order to implement the deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the Ministry of Natural Resources has issued a series of policies to ensure the use of land and sea elements, which strongly supports the stabilization of the economic market.

Accelerate the compilation of land spatial planning at all levels to provide spatial planning basis for the landing of major construction projects. The delineation of three control lines, namely, the national red line for the protection of cultivated land and permanent basic farmland, the red line for ecological protection and the urban development boundary line, has been completed in an all-round way, and the first "multi-regulation" national land spatial planning outline has been compiled, making arrangements for the national spatial development, protection, utilization and restoration pattern.

Continue to adhere to the land elements to follow the project, and enhance the pertinence of land use planning. For the project land included in the key protection, the planning indicators will be directly allocated when the land is approved; For other project sites, indicators will be arranged according to the local digestion of existing construction land, which will force the use of existing land to be revitalized.

Take unconventional measures, combine the use of advance land use, commitment system and other security policies, and promote the implementation of effective investment in important projects.

Accelerate the approval of land use and sea use, support the real economy and related industrial industries to reduce the cost of land use, and so on.

At present, the effects of various policies have been shown, and many projects will be started in an all-round way this year, which will play a huge role in stabilizing growth and promoting stable economic development. Wang Guanghua also specifically told reporters that in 2022, there was no legally established regulation project that started due to the impact of land use and sea use.

Appropriately increase land planning indicators to ensure major projects.

In 2023, the Ministry of Natural Resources will conscientiously implement the major deployment determined by the Central Economic Work Conference, continuously optimize the policy of ensuring natural resources elements, and work together with macroeconomic policies to promote the overall recovery of economic operation.

What are the supporting policies in 2023? Wang Guanghua is clear:

In 2023, land planning indicators will be increased, major projects established in the 14th Five-Year Plan will be supported to accelerate construction, and modern infrastructure construction in urban agglomerations and metropolitan areas will be supported.

By increasing the efforts to revitalize the use of historical reclamation, priority will be given to ensuring the use of sea for major projects and people’s livelihood projects; New reclamation continues to be strictly controlled, but the demand for sea use for major national projects is guaranteed.

Promote the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform of land use approval authority, so that provincial governments have greater autonomy.

Launch a new round of domestic prospecting for strategic minerals in an all-round way to ensure national energy security

Strengthening the domestic exploration and development of important energy and mineral resources, increasing reserves and increasing production, and improving the national strategic material reserve support capacity are one of the important tasks deployed by the Central Economic Work Conference.

China, as a big manufacturing country, must take the energy rice bowl into its own hands in order to develop the real economy. According to relevant statistics, some important mineral resources in China are highly dependent on foreign countries. Once the international situation changes, it will inevitably affect China’s economic security and even national security. In the past decade, China has promoted the implementation of the Strategic Action Plan for Prospecting Breakthrough (2011-2020), and accumulated 1.7 billion-ton oil fields and 21 billion-cubic meters of gas fields. This year, the Ministry of Natural Resources will highlight the shortage and bulk strategic minerals, focus on important oil-gas-bearing basins and key metallogenic belts, launch a new round of domestic prospecting for strategic minerals in an all-round way, speed up the exploration and development of energy resources such as oil and gas, and ensure the safety of national energy and mineral resources.

Adhere to the coordination between ensuring resource security and protecting green mountains and green hills. Wang Guanghua said that he will organize and implement the strategic reserve project of mineral land, promote the increase of reserves and production, and enhance the long-term support capability of strategic mineral resources. For the strategic mineral resources potential areas within the red line of ecological protection and nature reserves, the state will invest in key exploration, and then use them as strategic reserves for future generations or for coping with extreme situations. At this stage, we will focus on protecting green mountains and green rivers, and in the future, technological progress can give consideration to both up and down before mining.

Strictly observe the red line of cultivated land and promote the green transformation of economic and social development

Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to consolidate the foundation of food security in an all-round way, fully implement the responsibility of the party and the government for food security, firmly hold the red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land, and ensure that Chinese’s rice bowl is firmly in its own hands. In 2022, the national total grain output reached 1.37 trillion Jin, which effectively responded to the uncertainty of the external environment with the certainty of stable domestic production and supply.

Wang Guanghua said that the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attached great importance to the protection of cultivated land, stressed the need to protect cultivated land like a giant panda, and adopted hard measures of "teething" to ensure that 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land deserved its name. The Outline of National Land Spatial Planning (2021— In 2035), it is also clear that the national farmland protection task target is 1.865 billion mu, which will remain unchanged until 2035. Wang Guanghua said that withCompaction, stabilization, optimization and legislationThese eight words resolutely curb the "non-agricultural" of cultivated land, effectively prevent the "non-grain" of permanent basic farmland, and take many measures to ensure that this goal is achieved as scheduled.

Compaction, stability and optimization of legislation to ensure national food security

Compaction:Protection responsibility of compacted cultivated land. According to the deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, responsibility letters will be signed at different levels, and the party and government will share the responsibility for farmland protection, and strict assessment, one-vote veto on major issues and lifelong accountability will be implemented.

Stability:Stabilize the total amount of cultivated land. Fully implement the "two balances and one freeze", the cultivated land occupied by non-agricultural construction should be balanced, and the cultivated land converted into other agricultural land and agricultural facilities construction land should be balanced. For those occupied by illegal construction, the same amount of supplementary cultivated land indicators should be frozen to ensure that the cultivated land can be used stably for a long time.

Optimization:Optimize the layout of cultivated land. Taking villages and towns as a unit, we will promote the comprehensive improvement of land in the whole region, so that the spatial layout of agricultural production will be more in line with the natural geographical pattern and agricultural production laws, and all kinds of agricultural production will be in their proper places.

Legislation:Accelerate the legislation of farmland protection. In 2022, farmland protection legislation was launched, and this year, the legislative process will be accelerated and promoted as soon as possible, so as to protect farmland and ensure national food security with a stricter rule of law system.

Increase ecological protection and restoration to help build beautiful China.

With the increasing efforts of ecological protection and restoration in China, great strides have been made in the construction of beautiful China. As the main department responsible for ecological protection and restoration, the Ministry of Natural Resources continues to implement the integrated protection and restoration project of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand to enhance the diversity, stability and sustainability of the ecosystem.

Wang Guanghua told reporters that just last month, the "China Landscape Project" was selected as one of the first ten "flagship projects of world ecological restoration" by the United Nations, which showed our concept of respecting nature, adapting to nature and protecting nature internationally and effectively spread the ecological civilization thought of the supreme leader.             

According to the latest data, from 2016 to 2022, the country implemented 44 "landscape projects", involving natural ecosystems such as forests, rivers, wetlands, lakes and coastal zones, and the accumulated ecological protection and restoration area reached 3.5 million hectares. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, this year, a number of "landscape projects" will be launched in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins, focusing on national key ecological function area, the red line of ecological protection and nature reserves, and a beautiful scene of harmonious coexistence between man and nature will be vividly displayed in China.

In the future, about 50 national parks will be built throughout the country.

China’s ecological space control has become stricter, and the red line of ecological protection has been basically completed, covering the key areas of biodiversity protection in the country. Wang Guanghua said that the State Council has approved the spatial layout plan of national parks, and will gradually build a number of national parks throughout the country to accelerate the formation of a nature reserve system with national parks as the main body.

Activating the potential of geographic information data to serve the new format of digital economy

In addition to farmland protection and ecological protection and restoration, geographic information industry is also the industry in charge of the Ministry of Natural Resources. Wang Guanghua said that with the improvement of science and technology, all aspects of our lives can enjoy the convenience brought by geographic information technology, such as mobile navigation, bike-sharing and smart travel. Not long ago, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued opinions on building a basic data system and giving full play to the role of data elements, which provided a rare opportunity to activate the potential of geographic information data. China Geographic Information Industry Development Report 2022 shows that the total output value of China’s geographic information industry will reach 752.4 billion yuan in 2021, which has become a new growth pole of China’s digital economy.

This year, the Ministry of Natural Resources will focus on overall development and safety, and continuously enhance the ability of surveying and mapping geographic information data acquisition and service support; Comprehensively carry out the construction of real-life three-dimensional China and smart city spatio-temporal big data platform to provide a unified spatio-temporal data base for digital China and digital economy; Promote the transformation of data resources into data assets, and give full play to the important value of spatio-temporal data as a new production factor.

Key words for next year’s work: stimulating vitality and releasing potential

For next year’s work, Wang Guanghua wrote eight words to stimulate vitality and release potential.

Wang Guanghua said that China’s economy is strong in resilience, great in potential and full of vitality, and its long-term positive fundamentals have not changed. After the state optimizes and adjusts the epidemic prevention and control policies, social production and life will be accelerated, the vitality of the market will be further stimulated, and the potential of economic growth will be fully released. We will continue to optimize the protection of natural resources, strengthen national food and energy security, further promote the green transformation of economic and social development, and promote the overall recovery of economic operation.

"Youth in the Wind" ends, reflecting the story of two generations with a growing multi-faceted mirror.

Produced by CCTV, Iqiyi and Haohan Entertainment, the spring scenery is produced, starring Qian Sun, Zhai Zilu, Liu Lin and Tian Yu, starring Li Naiwen, Ceng Li, Jia Bing and Huang Man, starring Liu Guanlin, Li Jiaqi, Lin Jing and full stop, starring Feng Bing and Deng Kai, starring Li Qing, Qi Yuchen, Liu Xiaobei and Li Yutong, and Li Jianyi and Fang Qingzhuo.

This story of two generations’ youth growth, which is based on the oil field base, outlines a real and vivid "Linqi Oil Field Base" by breaking through the typed narrative style, full of warm and cheerful perspectives, and resonating visual aesthetics. With the perspective of the protagonist Cheng Miaomiao (Qian Sun), it leads countless audiences into a "parallel world" experience journey about youth, growth, family, dreams and reality.

In the play, the younger generation, represented by Cheng Miaomiao, Li Si (Zhaizi Road), Cheng Yaya (Li Qing), Yuan Shanqing (Qi Yuchen), Qiang Xiaowa (Liu Xiaobei) and Hu Qiumin (Li Yutong), are eager to get out of the bondage, while Jia Daiyu (Liu Lin), Cheng Pengfei (Tian Yu) and Yang Songbai (Li Naiwen). Their quiet life is full of challenges and changes with the encouragement of dreams and the joining of new members. Two generations of five families have ushered in different degrees of self-reconciliation and growth in their true self and ideal self, warm family and realistic society, stable life and changing future.

From the perspective of looking back, build a story of youth growth with intertwined ideals and reality.

"Youth in the Wind" unfolds her youth story for the audience from the perspective of Cheng Miaomiao. The story focuses on the fact that under the triple impetus of adolescent agitation, changes in the times and the choice of college entrance examination, Cheng Miaomiao, Li Si, Cheng Yaya, Hu Qiumin and others constantly want to break away from the shackles from the outside world, think about future life choices and have new stories with new friends.

The play not only presents the growth experience of teenagers, but also has the youth story of parents’ generation. Taking the parents’ young past as an incision, it shows that young people in different times have a desire for freedom, but with the increase of life experience, the youthful impulse gradually turns into the pursuit of life stability with the passage of time. Parents pursue stability, and teenagers yearn for the vast world. When two generations of different ideas collide fiercely, the inherent balance of life will be broken, and various contradictions and disputes between parents, couples and friends will follow. The windward teenager finally chose to resist the heavy pressure, stick to his ideal to the end, and blow away the layers of obstacles in the torrent of growth with firm belief.

Sketch various group images, highlighting that each generation has its own windward growth.

Youth in the Wind conveys the core and values of youth, growth and life to the audience through the stories of five families and two generations. The director presents the life stories of two generations to the audience with a relaxed and lively life style. Because of the different background of growing up, life experience and the environment of the times, different roles in the play have different reasons even if they make the same choice. The teenagers in team Lin Qi are eager to go out of their hometown and go to a bigger city. The children who grew up in a family full of love and freedom simply want to know the outside world with a curious mind, while the children who are quarrelling and stressed at home are motivated to "go out". In the process of growing up, teenagers will gradually grow and change their mentality with the change of family relations and the emergence of parents’ old memories.

Everyone has a life topic about growth, and they will also try their own way to smooth the regrets of life, pursue their ideals, and realize their own windward growth. Like Cheng Miaomiao, Li Si, Hu Qiumin, Cheng Yaya, Yuan Shanqing, Qiang Xiaowa and others in the play, everyone is more self-centered when they are young, and they all want to get rid of the shackles from family or environment and yearn for freedom. But when freedom really comes, they face unimaginable challenges, and at the same time, teenagers have given birth to unprecedented courage.

People can’t have youth and feelings for youth at the same time, but Youth in the Wind shows the audience the ongoing youth of the younger generation through the youth stories of two generations, and also lets the audience see the zigzag imprint of youth in the life of their parents. The drama uses the stories of Cheng Miaomiao, Li Si, Jia Daiyu and Cheng Pengfei to encourage people to face up to the problems of life and growth, to look at changes from a positive perspective, and more importantly, to stick to their original hearts and dreams no matter how the age and times change.
