Mingming： the conjectured martial arts+petty bourgeoisie

As a film directed by Susie Au in Hong Kong, it should be an experimental MV feature film, which was released simultaneously in Hong Kong and the Mainland on April 26th. The following are some impressions I got from the "VIP" environment of the cinema near the booking room.

1. Story
Susie Au is a novice as a film director, but he is very famous for shooting MV and advertising. It is precisely because of the accumulation of experience and reputation in those fields over the years that Susie Au has the ambition to take charge of the film guide. The story of Mingming revolves around a mysterious box. The story is not complicated, and there are not many side effects, and the burden of shaking is not brilliant. Mingming and NANA, who are played by Zhou Xun, are the two main threads of the story. Because both of them like Daniel Wu, the two main lines of the movie can meet in Daniel Wu, and finally the story contained in the mysterious box is explained. It turns out that Jeff Chang Shin-Che was transformed by Daniel Wu’s mother. The story seems a bit interesting, but it’s a pity that the director is overconfident in his own experience in filming MV. He not only transplanted a lot of special expression techniques of MV, but also treated a film as a multi-stage MV, which became overly dependent on technology and exposed the pallor of characterization. The film was impetuous and under-polished, and in order to accommodate the director’s need to show off his skills, he sacrificed the actor’s own play. Because the handling methods of MV are mostly implicit and surreal, in Mingming, the implication is treated as mysterious, while surrealism becomes a martial arts speculation. A good realistic story is packaged as a martial arts drama, which is neither fish nor fowl in itself. If it is for the sake of box office, it can only be lamented that when to cut the foot and fit the shoes will be exhausted, and in the end, painting a tiger will not be a dog. If it is the director’s personal will, then both the director and the screenwriter should go to cram school for movie scripts and broaden their horizons.The names of Mingming or NANA the Walking Man are not accurate enough, and even it is suspected that more videos have been taken, and the processing of contiguous names has become MV-like, because neither Mingming nor NANA constitutes the only protagonist and has no complete overwhelming weight, so it is not as appropriate as the farce caused by a box, haha!

2. Modeling & Clothing
Modeling and clothing are the highlights of Mingming, with cool tone, black outfit and smoky outfit to create cool Mingming, Leng Yan and aloof; Create a lovely NANA with warm colors and red costumes, which is naive and pure. The two are visually distinct, which is conducive to Zhou Xun’s play. As a result of the experience accumulated in MV shooting, I have mastered the use of costume and modeling, and it is obvious that NANA is successful, but Daniel Wu’s A D is more than a failure. The appearance of A D was expected to be quite high, with a wonderful tattoo wrapped in flowers and full of domineering. When the camera focuses on A D again, it becomes Daniel Wu with a beggar’s hairstyle, which weakens its deep temperament, and then the obscene stowaway dress is reminiscent of Daniel Wu’s dress in Night in Mong Kok. Coupled with the plot of beating up hooligans, the trace of copying the upgrade of Master Xing in Kung Fu and beating the axe gang out of the water is very heavy. Daniel Wu was destroyed by these patchwork memories, and there was no unified and profound image, so he lost the persuasiveness and charm of his characters.

3. Vision & Sound Effect
Visual effect is a symbolic way to reflect the director’s personal style, and it is also an intuitive window to show a film. Photographer-born directors pay more attention to picture composition, style or domineering, or aestheticism, or simplicity, and so on. Anyway, they deeply explore their inertia when they are photographers and form their own style. Susie Au is an experienced director of MV. He knows the eye catching function of visual effects well. He applies the fashionable and post-modernist style used in filming MV to Mingming. The split-lens treatment is very strong, and he likes to read the story only once in a while, or even dabble in it. The ultra-modern deconstruction is very impressive when interpreting Mingming. Obviously, the plot of breaking into Mao Ge’s lair alone and plundering 5 million yuan is very strong, and the constantly changing visual narrative points are really amazing. Unfortunately, the excitement is only a few minutes, and the story behind it is a bit boring.

4. Actors
The focus of this film is Zhou Xun VS Zhou Xun. In fact, the role weight of the film design and the role of the surrounding characters make Zhou Xun’s light cover everyone, which is just the same. On the other hand, the best actress in the last three Hong Kong Film Awards ceremonies was awarded to Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun and Gong Li respectively. It can be seen that mainland big-name actresses have successfully captured the Hong Kong film market, which actually reflects the embarrassment of Hong Kong film industry actresses who are young and yellow. Cecilia Cheung, who is full of aura, has switched to BB, while Lin Jiaxin, the boss, has not made progress. Others are old and tender, and most of them are affected by affectation, but few of them are admitted to the room. A deeper consideration is that co-productions need mainland actors to support their faces before they can freely jump into the broad market mind of the mainland. Under this balance, the faces of mainland actors will sway more and more in Hong Kong-made films. On the other hand, Zhou Xun’s performance is really remarkable. Two girls with the same appearance but completely different personalities and identities are not perfunctory, and the handling level of the roles is also very clear, with a strong sense of contrast, which is not superficial. This is worthy of recognition, and of course it is also related to the director’s efforts to shape and attach the greatest importance to these two roles.

Daniel Wu’s role feels marginalized, which is related to the director’s indecisiveness. At first, A D always showed people in profile, never giving a positive shot, and the repeated appearances of A D all came from Mingming or NANA’s mouth. When A D had to go out, Daniel Wu’s play was greatly limited due to the mysterious mentality of the director, which made him become a puzzling and mysterious man, and his confession was not strong enough, resulting in the dislocation of his role.

Yang Youning, who won the Golden Horse Best New Actor Award for "Seventeen-year-old Sky", plays Atu, whose role was originally designed as a punk with a crush, but Yang Youning made Atu both green and rustic. Jeff Chang Shin-Che’s Mao Ge is hard to comment on, only to say that he completed several gestures ordered by the director well and was not impressed.

In a word, Mingming was not successful as a film; For Susie Au, as Brother Fage said, the advertising slogan, "Success? I just got on the road! "

Li Li, former Party Secretary and President of The Export-Import Bank of China Beijing Branch, was ＂double-opened＂

CCTV News:The website of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection reported on September 26th that according to the news of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection in The Export-Import Bank of China and the Supervision Committee of the Yunnan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, recently, with the approval of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection in The Export-Import Bank of China and the Yunnan Provincial Supervision Committee conducted a disciplinary review and supervision investigation on Li Li Li, the former party secretary and president of The Export-Import Bank of China Beijing Branch, the former party secretary and president of Shanghai Branch and the former general manager of the transportation financing department.

In 2025, New Year’s Eve entered a two-digit countdown, and the New Year’s Eve was coming ＂too soon＂.

New Year’s Eve is the evening of the last day at the end of each lunar year, that is, the eve of New Year’s Day. This day is usually on the 29th or 30th of the twelfth lunar month in the summer calendar, so it is also called the 30th of the year, which is one of the most important traditional festivals of the Han nationality.

Today (October 20th),There are 99 days before year of the snake New Year’s Eve in 2025, and the countdown to the Chinese New Year has entered two digits.This year’s New Year’s Eve is on January 28th, 2025, and the lunar calendar is the 29th lunar month. It is still New Year’s Eve without the Lunar New Year’s Eve. One year’s time is fleeting, and netizens feel that time has passed too fast.

Enter a two-digit countdown on New Year’s Eve in 2025.

Triggered a hot discussion among netizens

Some netizens said:It’s too fast. I watched the countdown go from 3 digits to 2 digits.

Some netizens said:"There are still 10 Chinese New Year holidays in 10 days." "If you haven’t saved any money this year, it will be gone."

Beijing, Shanghai and other places have already begun to grab New Year’s Eve.

Many restaurants, hotels and private rooms are fully booked.

The National Day promotion has just passed, and it seems to be still early for the Chinese New Year. But people in Beijing, Shanghai and other places have begun to grab the New Year’s Eve dinner.

According to the Beijing News, in Beijing, many restaurants received orders for New Year’s Eve dinner as soon as the National Day was over. The heads of a number of catering enterprises predict that from the current booking situation, the New Year’s Eve market in 2025 may usher in a more eye-catching "transcript". In an interview with reporters, a person in charge of catering in Beijing said that the dining reservation for the 2025 New Year’s Eve and the Spring Festival holiday was officially opened on October 8 this year, which is also a "tradition" in the store for many years. "Every year, before the door is opened, many consumers are waiting in line at the door." Up to now, the store has booked 144 tables during the New Year’s Eve and the Spring Festival, including 65 tables for New Year’s Eve and 79 tables for holidays from the first day to the seventh day. All the rooms on New Year’s Eve have been booked.

In another restaurant in Beijing, the earliest 2025 dinner order came from New Year’s Eve in 2024. The person in charge said that many guests directly placed orders for the next year’s dinner after eating the New Year’s Eve reunion dinner. Up to now, the lunch room of the restaurant on New Year’s Eve in 2025 has been basically booked. Tao Ran, the manager of the store, said that some customers came to have a family dinner during the National Day and booked the private rooms for the Spring Festival dinner. At present, the private rooms for dinner on New Year’s Eve are all fully booked.

In Shanghai, the popularity of the New Year’s Eve market has also begun to "heat up". According to the Morning News, the reporter learned from many old brands, hotel chains and popular restaurants in Shanghai that the reservations for New Year’s Eve are being opened one after another, and the boxes and the "first half" batches of New Year’s Eve are among the hottest, and many of them have been booked out.

"Our store started late this year. On October 7th, the on-site reservation was opened at 6:30 am, and the first batch of private rooms and halls were fully booked at 10:30 am." A hotel clerk in Shanghai said.

On the other hand, the reporter also found that customers who need a large table with more than 10 people are not easy to book a large table with more than 10 people because of the relatively narrow choice. "Our biggest thing is that we can sit at a table for 10 people, and 12 people can squeeze. No more will do. However, you can put two adjacent tables for 10 people in the same space, so that you can walk around and communicate with each other. " A hotel clerk in Shanghai told reporters.

From this year

There is no 30 years in five consecutive years.

It is reported that last year, the Lunar New Year’s Eve in the Year of the Loong was February 9, 2024, which was "the last 30th anniversary in recent years".

becauseFrom 2025 until 2029, New Year’s Eve for five consecutive years is "New Year’s Day 29".These days are: January 28th, 2025, February 16th, 2026, February 5th, 2027, January 25th, 2028 and February 12th, 2029.

Why is the New Year’s Eve sometimes absent?

It turns out that this is all caused by the moon. The China lunar calendar calculates the number of days in a month according to the change of the moon phases, which is called "the period of the first lunar month" in astronomy. The day of "New Moon" is the first day, on which people can’t see the moon at all. The date of "Wang" is fifteen, which is the time of the full moon. Because the relative motion among the moon, the earth and the sun is not static, the "period of the first lunar month" is long and short. The average length of a lunar month is 29.53 days, which is not an integer, but the number of days in a month should be expressed in integers, so sometimes it is 29 days in a small month and 30 days in a big month. In order to ensure that the first day of each lunar month must be the new moon, the arrangement of the big and small months is not fixed, which needs to be determined through observation and scientific calculation. It is not uncommon for the twelfth lunar month to meet a small moon, which will appear in about three to five years. In 2013, 2016, 2022 and five years from 2025 to 2029, there was no 30th anniversary. However, because the average length of the first lunar month is more than 29 days, the number of big moons is slightly more than that of small moons every year. Although New Year’s Eve will "disappear", New Year’s Eve, as a traditional festival, has always been there, whether it is the 29th or 30th of the twelfth lunar month.

After learning about this, netizens said: interesting knowledge has increased again.

Finally, let’s talk about a magical thing:The first month of leap in 2262.

Therefore, there are two Spring Festival in 2262.

Investigation Report on Prepaid Consumption of Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee

　　Prepaid consumption refers to a kind of consumption mode in which consumers enjoy preferential activities of merchants in accordance with the agreed way after paying a certain fee to the operators in advance, and purchase goods or receive services in stages, that is, consumers usually encounter "card first, recharge first and then consume". In life, prepaid consumption generally exists in beauty salons, fitness, health care, laundry, retail and other industries. On the one hand, operators provide convenience for consumers, and consumers can enjoy preferential prices from merchants; On the other hand, operators can quickly increase the number of stable customers and quickly gather funds.

　　In recent years, prepaid consumer disputes have gradually increased and become a hot spot of consumer disputes. In 2018, the province’s Consumer Protection Committee system accepted a total of 130,505 complaints, including 16,976 complaints about prepaid consumption, accounting for 13.01% of the total complaints. Jiangsu(Province)In 2018, the Provincial Consumer Protection Committee supported a total of 5 consumer lawsuits, all of which were prepaid consumer disputes, accounting for 100%.Some operators have hidden traps when providing goods or services, and the way of paying first and then consuming often puts consumers in a passive position, and it is impossible to predict the consistency and consistency of providing standard services. Even some operators run away after receiving the advance payment, which leads to mass incidents and affects social stability.

　　The Regulations on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province, which came into effect on July 1, 2017, clearly stipulates the scope of prepaid cards and the setting of time limit, and gives consumers the right to regret on the 15th. However, over the past year or so, disputes over prepaid cards still occur frequently.

　　In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, such as the right to know, the right to property safety, the right to claim compensation, and promote the healthy development of prepaid consumption mode, Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee conducted a survey on prepaid consumption in Jiangsu Province around the theme of "Credit makes consumption more secure", deeply understood the current situation of prepaid consumption, analyzed the crux of the problem and put forward reasonable suggestions.

　　First, the basic situation of investigation work

　　(1) Time of investigation

　　February 2019 — Mar.

　　(II) Respondents

　　The prepaid cards mentioned in this survey are all single-purpose prepaid cards, which are prepaid vouchers for operators to provide goods or services in advance, including physical cards with magnetic stripe cards, chip cards and paper coupons as carriers and virtual cards with passwords, serial codes, graphics and biometric information as carriers. Divided into registered cards and bearer cards.

　　(3) Survey method and sample size

　　This survey adopts the combination of online questionnaire survey and offline observation survey, and obtains a total of 17,546 valid samples.

　　Online: With the help of the official WeChat platform of Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee "Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee" and Litchi News,WeChat Official AccountOnline media such as "xici" homepage conducted a questionnaire survey on prepaid card consumption. A total of 17,476 valid samples were obtained from the online questionnaire survey.

　　Offline: An investigation team composed of volunteers made an investigation on 70 samples in Jiangsu Province, covering six cities in Jiangsu Province, including Nanjing, Changzhou, Nantong, Yancheng, Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and involving six industries, including beauty salons, fitness, health care, comprehensive retail, education and training, and laundry, where prepaid consumer disputes are frequent. A total of 70 valid samples were obtained from offline field experience, including 61 registered cards and 9 unregistered cards.

　　Second, analysis of the survey results of prepaid card processing

　　(1) Investigation on the basic situation of consumers: 85% of consumers have done prepaid cards, and the most involved fields are beauty salons, comprehensive retail and fitness industries.The online questionnaire survey shows that the proportion of male and female consumers participating in the survey is 60.8% and 39.2% respectively. 7.2% of consumers are under 18, 74.2% are between 18 and 40 years old, 17.9% are between 41 and 65 years old, and only 0.7% of consumers are over 65 years old. From the perspective of age distribution, the consumer groups are mainly young and middle-aged.

　　Among online participants, 70.2% of consumers have handled it, 14.6% of consumers often handle it, 15.2% of consumers have never handled it, and nearly 85% of consumers have handled prepaid cards.

　　Among them, 41.3% of consumers apply for a card because of the strong preferential treatment of merchants, 37.8% think it is convenient to settle accounts, 13% are embarrassed to refuse the promotion of merchants, and 7.8% of consumers choose to apply for a card for other reasons.

　　From the point of view of the industries selected to handle the card, beauty salons (including beauty, manicure and haircut) and comprehensive retail (including department stores, supermarkets, grocery stores and convenience stores) are the most, followed by fitness, catering and education and training.

　　(two) in the field experience, more than half of the operators’ advance payment exceeds the limit.

　　According to the Regulations on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province, if an operator issues a single-purpose prepaid card (including other advance receipts), the limit of a single registered card shall not exceed 5,000 yuan, and the limit of a single bearer card shall not exceed 1,000 yuan. Among them, individual industrial and commercial households need to issue single-use prepaid cards, and the single-page limit shall not exceed 1,000 yuan.

　　However, the results of this survey show that many prepaid cards issued by operators have exceeded the limit. According to the online questionnaire survey data, after July 1, 2017, 42.2% of consumers said that they had paid less than 1000 yuan, 39.4% had paid 1,000-5,000 yuan, 14.3% had paid 5,001-10,000 yuan, and 4.1% had paid more than 10,000 yuan. 18.5% of consumers spend more than 5,000 yuan on prepaid card services.

　　Among the prepaid cards with a single amount exceeding that of 1000 yuan, 74.1% of consumers said that the prepaid card was a registered card, and 25.9% of consumers were unregistered cards. That is to say, 25.9% of the consumption of bearer cards has exceeded the limit.

　　In the off-line physical survey, 57.1% of the samples have the situation that the amount of advance payment exceeds the limit, among which the excess situation in beauty salons, health care and education and training industries is more serious, accounting for 32.5%, 22.5% and 17.5% respectively.

　　The advance payment of some registered card samples far exceeds the legal limit of 5,000 yuan, such as Nantong Yongqi Beauty Salon.A shopNanjing Taihe sealcertainThe store leaflet page says that the maximum recharge amount is 50,000 yuan, in Wang Yu, Changzhou.certainIn the introduction of the stored-value card hanging behind the cashier, the maximum amount is 60,000 yuan. In the survey, some companies did not directly display the amount of advance payment through leaflets and other forms, but they learned that there was also excess by asking the staff, and even some businesses said that "the recharge amount is not capped".

　　Example diagram of excessive advance payment amount of some registered cards

　　44.4% of the bearer card samples are in excess, among which Changzhou is happy.certainThe highest amount of cash card advertised by the store is 500 yuan. However, when the experiencer asks if it is ok to handle a bearer card with a face value of 2000 yuan, the staff can, but they say that there is no cash card, so they need to go to the Finance Department to make a card with this face value and deliver it the next day after receiving cash in advance.

　　Example diagram of excessive advance payment amount of bearer card

　　(3) When handling prepaid cards, most operators will not take the initiative to sign consumption contracts with consumers.

　　According to the Regulations on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province, when an operator provides goods or services in the form of advance payment, it shall clearly agree with consumers on the quantity and quality, price or expenses, time limit and method of performance, safety precautions and risk warning, after-sales service, civil liability and other contents.

　　In the online questionnaire survey, only 38.6% of the operators signed the consumption contract voluntarily when handling prepaid cards for consumers, 24% of the consumers asked to sign the contract voluntarily, and 37.4% did not sign the contract.

　　In the field survey, when handling prepaid cards, only 20% of the samples signed contracts at the initiative of the operators and consumers, and 30% of the experience samples did not sign formal contracts, but registered the personal information of consumers.remain50% of the experience samples have not signed a contract.Agreement, also did not register consumer information..

　　Sample diagram of some contracts

　　(4) The validity period of some prepaid cards is set.

　　According to the Regulations on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province, the validity period of prepaid cards shall not be set.

　　In the online questionnaire survey, 50.3% of consumers have set the expiration date for prepaid cards, while 35.8% have not set the expiration date.

　　According to the offline survey results, 27.1% of prepaid cards have a valid period, 60% of prepaid cards have no valid period, and 12.9% of them have a valid period, but the merchants verbally promise that consumers will not have a valid period when using them.

　　Sample Diagram of Setting Validity Period for Some Samples

　　(5) No one in the survey publicized the total amount and usage of prepaid cards.

　　In the online questionnaire survey, 63.5% of consumers said that the operators did not regularly publicize the total amount and usage of prepaid cards in their business premises, and 36.5% of consumers said that the operators regularly publicized the total amount and usage of prepaid cards in their business premises.

　　However, in the offline investigation, all the samples did not disclose the total amount and use of prepaid cards in the business premises. At the request of the inspectors, some merchants’ computer background systems can check the funds of prepaid cards.

　　Sample Diagram of Backstage Inquiry of Prepaid Card Funds for Some Samples

　　In addition, the field experience survey results show that 50% of the samples have the problem that the business license is not publicized on the wall; After the prepaid card is recharged, 14.3% of the merchants have no recharge credentials such as invoices or receipts.;After spending the card, 58.6% of the samples have paper or electronic receipts with the balance indicated, 5.7% have paper or electronic receipts without the balance indicated, and 35.7% have no consumption vouchers.

　　Third, analysis of the investigation results of prepaid card withdrawal

　　In 2018, the complaint data of prepaid consumption accepted by the Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee system showed that the top three complaints about prepaid cards were that consumers were dissatisfied and asked to return their cards, businesses ran away, and consumers returned their cards for personal reasons.

　　(1) Consumers’ requests for card refund are frequently rejected.The results of online questionnaire survey show that 15.9% of consumers were rejected because the merchants did not provide goods or services as agreed and asked the merchants to refund; 13% of consumers were rejected because the merchants closed down, closed down or changed their business premises and asked for a refund; 9.6% of consumers’ requests for unreasonable refund within 15 days of card application were rejected.

　　In addition, in the process of prepaid card consumption, 21.9% consumers were not informed of the precautions when they applied for the card, 18.3% thought that the goods or services were inconsistent with the publicity, and 9.2% did not encounter any consumption disputes; 8% cannot be reissued because the card is lost.

　　In the field experience survey, 57.1% of the merchantsWhen the experiencer asks for a refund, he saidDo not agree to refund,butamongpartMerchants are observing personnel "arguing" or even "arguing fiercely"barge"After the consent.. finallyThere are still 25.7% businesses insisting.No refund will be given.Only 42.9% of the merchants agreed to refund after the inspectors first proposed the refund. In addition, three of the non-refundable samples were bearer cards, accounting for 33.3% of all bearer card samples in this survey.

　　(2) The merchant agrees to return the card but fails to refund the money according to the agreed time or the refund process takes too long.Although some merchants promised a refund and promised in writing the latest time for the refund to arrive, they did not honor their promises on time. For example, a store in Nanjing Xiaomeihui promised a refund on March 1 at the latest, but when the inspector contacted the other store manager on the 4th, he found that the other party had deleted the WeChat friend. After calling the customer service number, the customer service said that there was no mobile phone number of the store manager and the store manager could not be contacted. finallyAfter many negotiations,The other party completed the refund on March 8.

　　It takes a long time for some merchants to receive the rest of the money after returning their cards. According to the investigation, it is a regular time to receive the money within one week, and a little longer is about one month, but Changzhou Sakura JapaneseTraining institutionsIt means that the card refund process takes 3 months.

　　(three) fees are non-refundable,Shall not terminate the contract… … It is difficult to withdraw the card from the "overlord clause" in the fitness industry

　　In the sample of the fitness industry in this survey, 90% of the merchants said that they could not return their cards, and suggested that the inspectors transfer the cards. But each family needs 300— 500 yuan’s card transfer fee varies, including 480 yuan (monthly card) for the store of Nanjing Yingpaisi National Fitness Center, but 400 yuan is needed for the card transfer fee.

　　The common types of overlord clauses include: (1) agreeing that the final interpretation right belongs to the merchants, such as a store in Nanjing Branch Laundry, a store in Yancheng Nasdaq English, a store in Yangzhou Meg Image Design Salon and Changzhou Muqing Health Club; (2) It is agreed that the prepaid card will not enjoy other benefits at the same time, such as a store in Wang Yu, Nantong Huaxia Liangzi, Yangzhou UCC International Laundry, Xuzhou Lanxi Modeling, etc. (3) Prepaid cards are non-refundable, such as a store in Yancheng Pandora Modeling, a store in Xuzhou Pengzu Driving, a store in Nanjing Taihe Xi, a store in Yancheng Hanbang Fitness, etc. (4) If the prepaid card is lost, it will not be replenished or the card replacement procedure is complicated, such as a store in king of the children, Changzhou Jieji Fruit Store, Yancheng Golden Eagle International, Changzhou Daxilai Store, etc.

　　At present, there is a general overlord clause in prepaid consumer contracts, mainly because these contracts are unilaterally drawn up standard contracts, and consumers can only express their full agreement or disagreement, so there is no room for negotiation on the terms. According to the provisions of Article 40 of the Contract Law, if the party providing the format clause exempts its liability, aggravates the other party’s liability or excludes the other party’s main rights, the clause is invalid. Therefore, clauses such as "the final interpretation right belongs to the merchant", "the prepaid card is non-refundable, lost and not replenished" and "the contract cannot be terminated" are of course invalid, even if the consumer agrees, they will not be effective.

　　(fourMerchants don’t refund money when they run, and consumers have no way to refund their cards.

　　In the questionnaire "Did you receive the operator’s notice one month in advance when the operator closed down, closed down or changed its business premises", 38.4% of consumers did not receive the notice, 32.8% received the notice one month in advance, and 28.8% did not encounter the operator’s closure, closed down or changed its business premises.

　　According to the complaint data of prepaid consumption accepted by the Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee system in 2018,Complaints received due to "merchants running away"5417 cases, accounting for the annual prepaid consumer complaints.total capacity32%.In this physical investigation, no sample ran away, but the sample of a store in Nanjing Jaeger-LeCoultre was changed to Platinum Meiye at the time of investigation, and the other party said that it had changed its boss. The original Jaeger-LeCoultre membership card could be recycled after a certain reduction rate, but the specific reduction rate was not provided by the other party.

　　Although some businesses have not terminated their services, they frequently change their business entities, which seriously affects consumer confidence. In 2016, Ms. Miao applied for a 50,000-yuan prepaid card at Kafan Yincheng Dongyuan Store. In 2018, the store was transferred to Jaeger-LeCoultre, which is still a beauty salon. Ms. Miao contacted Kafan Head Office and the store manager, and the other party said that if the card needs to be returned, the 30,000-yuan spent item will be deducted according to the original price, and the original price of the 30,000-yuan spent item has exceeded 50,000 yuan. The operator said that the card can continue to be used in the new store, so Ms However, the store was renamed Amy soon. In February this year, the store was under renovation and its name was changed. After each store name change, when Ms. Miao asks for a card transfer, the newly opened store will ask for a recharge before continuing to enjoy the original discount. The same address is a beauty salon,butDecoration and store nameFrequent replacementThe prepaid card purchased by consumers will be recharged repeatedly.Otherwise, you can’t activate the helplessness..

　　Fourth, consumers suggest improving laws and regulations

　　The results of online questionnaire survey show that if consumers are not satisfied with the consumption of prepaid services, 33% of them will seek the coordination of merchants, 21.2% will seek the mediation of Consumer Protection Committee, 16.7% will be afraid of trouble, 13.3% will complain to the competent authorities, 12.7% will seek media exposure, and 3.1% will file a court lawsuit.

　　In the online questionnaire survey, 80.6% of consumers think it is very necessary to strengthen the management of prepaid card issuance, fund supervision and risk monitoring by improving laws and regulations, 13.8% of consumers think it is unnecessary, and 5.6% think it doesn’t matter. This result reflects that more than 80% of consumers hope to strengthen the market supervision of prepaid card consumption through the improvement of laws and regulations.

　　Consumer protection Committee suggested

　　The lack of laws and administrative regulations on single-use prepaid cards in China is far from solving the practical contradictions caused by single-use prepaid cards. At present, the management of single-use prepaid cards in Jiangsu is mainly based on the Administrative Measures for Single-use Commercial Prepaid Cards (Trial) issued by the Ministry of Commerce in 2012 (hereinafter referred to as the Administrative Measures) and the Jiangsu Consumer Protection Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the Consumer Protection Regulations) which came into effect on July 1, 2017.

　　In terms of supervision of prepaid card issuing enterprises, Article 64 of the Consumer Protection Regulations stipulates that if an operator issues a prepaid card exceeding the prescribed limit in violation of the second paragraph of Article 27 of these regulations, or fails to fulfill the refund obligation in violation of the second and third paragraphs of Article 28, the commercial department shall order it to make corrections within a time limit; If no correction is made within the time limit, a fine of not less than ten thousand yuan but not more than thirty thousand yuan shall be imposed. However, Article 2 of the Administrative Measures stipulates that its applicable subject is an enterprise legal person engaged in retail, accommodation and catering, and residential service. This will lead to more concentrated complaints about prepaid card consumption disputes and more individuals running away.industry and commerceSupervision of householdsIs still a big problem.

　　(1)Fill the lawRegulatoryblind zone.It is still difficult to legislate at the national level. In view of the persistent problems of single-use prepaid card operators running away and lack of supervision of funds, it is suggested to introduce local regulations and legislation for single-use prepaid card management in Jiangsu Province as soon as possible with reference to the practice of Shanghai.Focus on solving the following aspects:

　　Incorporate individual industrial and commercial households into the scope of supervision. nowAdministrative measuresYes, there are a lot oflaunchIndividuals with prepaid business activitiesIndustrial and commercial householdsThere is no restriction,As long as a set of so-called membership management system is formulated, merchants can recruit members and absorb funds. The conditions for issuing prepaid cards, the amount of funds received in advance, the issuance and redemption of consumer cards, and the preservation of transaction records are all their own decisions. It is suggested to learn from the supervision experience of issuing prepaid cards by enterprise legal persons, bring the prepaid card business activities of individual industrial and commercial households into the scope of administrative supervision, and clarify the qualifications of issuers, access conditions, filing management and capital risk monitoring. The competent authorities of the industry should determine the supervision objects based on the business behavior of market entities, rather than distinguishing the attributes of businesses.The Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on the Management of Single-use Prepaid Consumer Cards was formally implemented on January 1, 2019, in which Article 2 included the business activities of single-use prepaid consumer cards and their supervision and management within the administrative area of Shanghai into the scope of the regulations.

　　Clarify the administrative supervision of various industriesdepartment.The issuance of single-use prepaid cards involves many industries, especially after a large number of self-employed individuals are brought into supervision.In order to avoid unclear responsibilities between administrative departments, it should be further clarified.Business, education, tourism culture, etc.The subject and scope of industry supervision of single-use prepaid cardsAnd responsibilities.At the same time,Market supervision, taxation, public security, People’s Bank of China, China Banking Regulatory Commission and other departments to assist.Supervision, strengthen the joint.renovate, the implementation of the whole process supervision of its business access, trading behavior, business behavior, etc.. The Consumer Protection Committee (Consumers Association) and the administrative organ should give full play to their respective advantages. The consumer protection system should strengthen the publicity and education of consumers and consumer guide, and pay attention to the docking of complaints and referrals. The administrative organ should establish a list of serious untrustworthy subjects, aiming at major typical cases found.Business departmentYing LianMarket supervision and other departmentsCarry out joint rectification, shock the industry and purify the market,Strengthen the standardization of card issuing operatorschangemanage, increase the intensity of illegal punishment.

　　Establish marginsystemOr a third-party payment management system.Merchants issue a large number of prepaid cards and reserve a large amount of funds in a short time. Once it appears later,If the funds are used for other purposes, the investment fails or the funds cannot be withdrawn in time, it will lead to a refund redemption crisis involving many consumers. suggestionIntroduce banks as the third-party supervision of prepaid card funds and establish a deposit system.Restrain merchants and improve the "single insurance" mode of prepaid card funds only relying on merchants’ own credit.. The deposit is the same as the amount received in advanceshould doMaintain a certain proportion, and the margin account shall not be misappropriated.Once it appears,Consumer rights and interests are damagedSituation, butPay compensation in advance from this account.At the same time, you canImplement the payment management system of third-party payment, such as Alipay, WeChat, bank escrow, etc., to prevent operators from suddenly rolling up money and fleeing.Consumer property suffers losses,Safeguard consumers’ right to property safetyAnd the right of claim.

　　(2)Prepaid consumption concentration industrybuildModel text of contract.

　　The survey found that most prepaid consumers have no formal contracts and do not issue invoices.Provide a card or only keep the mobile phone number of the consumer, even if the contract is signed, it will stipulate the overlord clauses such as "our store has the right to modify and terminate the use right of the consumer card" or "the prepaid service fee for applying for card refund will not be refunded". Even if it recharges tens of thousands of dollars, even the operators who say "the top is not capped" do not have a complete contract to protect consumers’ legitimate rights and interests such as the right to know, the right to safety, the right to fair trade and the right to claim compensation.

　　The Provincial Consumer Protection Committee suggested to establish a model contract text for industries with concentrated prepaid consumption. In the model contract text, the merchants are required to list the performance period, scope of use, detailed address of the merchants, the amount and payment method of the prepaid consumer card, the way of performance guarantee responsibility, and the liability for breach of contract. explicitIf the consumer card is terminated or changed due to the reasons of the merchant, the consent of the consumer shall be obtained. If the consumer disagrees, the merchant shall refund the balance of the card in full according to the expenses paid by the consumer when actually purchasing, after deducting the consumption after enjoying the preferential margin.Aiming at the problem of overlord clause, it can be excluded by enumeration.

　　In view of the businesses found in this survey that have many problems involving overlord clauses and refuse to apply for prepaid card refunds without reason or obstacles, the Provincial Consumer Protection Committee will ask the operators to rectify within a time limit by means of interviews, etc., and those that are illegal will be handed over to relevant departments.

　　Consumer tips

　　Can impulse consumption be refunded?

　　In June 2018, Ms. Ren spent 6,000 yuan under the strong marketing of a beauty and body business.

　　Yuan purchaseoneA membership card. After returning home, Ms. Ren regretted it and asked the merchant for a refund of the card, which was decisively rejected by the merchant.

　　Case analysis: This case is a typical dispute caused by impulsive consumption. According to Article 28 of the Regulations on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province: "If an operator provides goods or services by issuing a single-use prepaid card, the consumer has the right to ask for a refund within 15 days from the date of payment without reason, and the operator can deduct the reasonable expenses it has incurred for providing goods or services." This clause clearly gives the consumer the right to return the card for 15 days without reason. Ms. Ren enjoys a 15-day cooling-off period when purchasing a prepaid card, and the merchant should make a refund request within the cooling-off period.

　　Consumer Tips: Consumers must be rational before choosing a card, and handle it rationally according to their own needs. Don’t be tempted by the sales promotion of merchants, try to choose a prepaid card with a small amount and use it as soon as possible.

　　When the swimming card expires, do you have to pay before activating it?

　　Yu Xiansheng handled a swimming card in 2017, with a balance of more than 1,000 yuan. In July, 2018, Yu Xiansheng was told that the card had expired, and if he wanted to continue to use it, he needed to recharge it again.

　　Case analysis: This case is a typical prepaid consumption dispute caused by setting the validity period. Paragraph 2 of Article 27 of the Regulations on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests in Jiangsu Province stipulates: "… … Prepaid cards may not have a valid period. " Article 19 of the Measures for the Administration of Single-use Commercial Prepaid Cards stipulates: "A registered card shall not have a valid period; The validity period of bearer cards shall not be less than 3 years. Card issuing enterprises or card selling enterprises should provide supporting services such as activation and card replacement for bearer cards with a balance of funds beyond the validity period. " Therefore, when there is still a balance in the card, it is illegal for the operator to refuse to use it on the grounds of expiration, which is suspected of unjust enrichment.

　　Consumer Tips: According to Consumer Protection Regulations, the validity period of prepaid cards may not be set. Even if the validity period of bearer cards is set according to Administrative Measures, operators are obliged to provide services such as extension and activation for bearer prepaid cards of consumers to ensure their normal use.

　　Can I refund the "No Termination of Contract"?

　　In September 2017, Ms. Liu registered 60 private fitness classes for her children in a center in Nanjing, and paid 15,840 yuan after the discount. After six classes, I want to cancel the contract and return the card because my child is busy with school work. However, the center refused to apply for a refund for consumers on the grounds that the agreement stipulated that "the contract shall not be terminated".

　　Case analysis: According to Article 40 of China’s Contract Law: "If the party providing the standard clause exempts its responsibility, aggravates the other party’s responsibility and excludes the other party’s main rights, the clause is invalid." Article 26 of China’s Consumer Protection Law also stipulates: "… … Operators shall not make unfair and unreasonable provisions to consumers, such as excluding or restricting consumers’ rights, lightening or exempting operators’ responsibilities, and aggravating consumers’ responsibilities, by means of format clauses, notices, life notices, store notices, etc. … … Format clauses, notices, statements, store notices, etc. contain the contents listed in the preceding paragraph, and their contents are invalid. " The fitness center deprives consumers of the right to terminate the contract in the form of standard clauses and overlord clauses, which obviously infringes on consumers’ fair trade rights and should be considered invalid.

　　Consumer tip: "No termination of the contract" is the overlord clause, and consumers still have the right to terminate the contract. However, in the case of consumer default, the operator will charge a certain amount of liquidated damages and refund the card for the consumer.

　　What if the merchant runs away?

　　Since February 2018, consumers have continuously reported that a restaurant located in Sucheng District, Suqian City closed down without notifying the relevant cardholders to deal with the aftermath, resulting in consumers’ stored-value cards being unable to continue to be used, and consumers have no way to refund.

　　Case analysis: The business operator in this case can’t fulfill the obligation of providing catering services as agreed, which infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, such as fair trading rights. According to Article 53 of China’s Consumer Protection Law, "If the business operator provides goods or services in advance, it shall provide them as agreed. If it is not provided in accordance with the agreement, it shall fulfill the agreement or refund the advance payment according to the requirements of the consumer. " The business operator shall refund the remaining money that has not been consumed according to the requirements of consumers.

　　Consumer tips: when consumers find that businesses violate laws and regulations or have abnormal business conditions, they should consult or report to relevant departments in time; If the business suddenly closes down and cannot be contacted, and fraud is involved, it should be reported to the public security department in time.

How to implement the requirement of ＂accelerating the development of long-term rental housing＂ in the government work report？

Under the background of "housing without speculation", China’s long-term rental market has entered a fast lane of development.

From last year, the NPC and CPPCC first proposed "improving the long-term rental policy" and "standardizing the development of the long-term rental market" to this year’s "Government Work Report" clearly stated "accelerating the development of the long-term rental market", the change of this formulation released a clear signal that the long-term rental market has achieved significant development results in the past year and will become an important starting point for safeguarding people’s livelihood stability, promoting consumption growth, stabilizing the real estate market and promoting urbanization in the future.

Among them, especially the development of institutionalized long-term rental housing has become an important working idea for relevant departments to improve the construction of housing rental system and solve urban housing problems. This year’s "Government Work Report" emphasizes "accelerating development", which is more clear and directional, and also highlights the urgency. This is an important leap for the national government to change from cognition to recognition of the development of the housing rental industry, and will also guide and promote the housing rental industry to a high-quality development period.

Affordable rental housing and institutionalized long-term rental housing assume different development functions.

To vigorously develop the housing rental market, it is first clear that the important starting point is to develop rental housing with legal entities, which can be government organizations or enterprise operations, which will help the competent authorities to quickly improve the market management system and solve the problems of information asymmetry, lack of filing of housing and unstable lease period in individual landlords’ rental.

In the process of development, we should adhere to the idea of "policy-oriented and affordable rental housing" and "market-oriented and institutionalized long-term rental housing". With the gradual improvement of the housing rental system, the two should be gradually distinguished and play different functions.

As a kind of welfare policy, the main function of "policy and security rental housing" is to maintain and stabilize the healthy development of society, so it should play a "bottom-up" and "supplementary" role. And "market-oriented, institutionalized long-term rental" should gradually become the main force of the housing rental market, and it should be able to undertake the stock housing of "purchase type" and "own type" in the past to a great extent, so that these houses can return to their proper living attributes and truly produce the proper value of the housing. From this perspective, it is necessary to make market-oriented and institutionalized long-term rental housing the main body, and to cultivate and support specialized and large-scale housing rental enterprises, which is also the key to implementing "staying and not speculating". Only by hierarchical classification and orderly promotion can we comprehensively improve the supply level of rental housing and meet the diversified rental needs of different types of people.

The development experience of market economy has also proved many times that any industry must take the road of institutional development if it wants to establish a certain scale operation ability, and so does the housing rental industry. In this process, the government can give full play to its guiding and supporting role, keep the general direction of people’s livelihood and the general trend of the industry. We should take a more open and inclusive attitude towards market development, "delimit the red line and keep the bottom line" and give professional housing leasing enterprises more autonomy in order to maximize the efficiency of institutionalized management.

Encourage idle housing to be transformed and rented by specialized housing leasing enterprises.

Institutional long-term rental is an important development direction of housing rental industry. On the macro level, we should understand the significance of accelerating the development of long-term rental market from the perspective of the essence of socialist system and improving people’s livelihood during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period, and constantly improve the status of institutionalized long-term rental. At the micro level, professional housing leasing enterprises can establish the reputation of long-term operation, which can effectively unify the demands of both landlords and tenants. Institutionalized long-term rental can not only make tenants consume, choose and move in quickly, but also reduce the management cost of landlords and solve the problems of outdated facilities, aging decoration and mismatched apartment types between supply and demand.

However, in China’s major megacities, the proportion of institutionalized long-term rental is still relatively low, and the market statistics are less than 5%. There is still a lot of room for development and more policy encouragement is needed. The first is policy subsidies. Germany has a good experience for reference. The government subsidizes institutionalized long-term renting, which not only ensures that enterprises can hold houses for a long time and rent them for a long time, but also suppresses the rise of rents, and will not cause tenants to be driven away because it is difficult to pay rents. Combined with China’s national conditions, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development can, in conjunction with local governments, select a number of representative and large-scale housing leasing enterprises to be included in the key support scope of the government, give them policy and financial support, and enable them to play a leading role in scale and undertake more functions to alleviate urban housing problems.

Secondly, it is necessary to increase the market share of institutionalized long-term rental housing in big cities, especially in places with large population inflow and large demand for rental housing. For example, in Beijing, for a long time in the past, urban development interacted with the "house-buying economy". At that time, many property buyers took a fancy to value-added space and bought houses in the suburbs of the city. With the acceleration of urbanization, the outward agglomeration of high-tech industrial zones has driven the inflow of talents, resulting in a large number of rental demand. Therefore, under the general tone of "living without speculation", in areas with large rental demand, individual landlords with idle houses should be encouraged to rent, especially entrusted to specialized housing rental enterprises. On the one hand, it can stabilize the fluctuation of rental market caused by demand growth, and play the role of institutionalized long-term rental to stabilize rents and stabilize the market; On the other hand, filing by enterprises facilitates the unified management of the government and can prevent the emergence of a "gray" zone of supervision.

Take measures to help the long-term rental market to be stable and far-reaching

"Accelerating the development of long-term rental market" is the key to meet the rigid demand for housing and form a healthy ecology of "rent" and "housing" in the next period.

For housing rental enterprises, first, they should be aware of their corporate social responsibilities with prudence, seek development based on the long term, and constantly provide higher quality residential products and life services. The second is to give full play to the role of institutionalized long-term rental, give full play to professional advantages in management, operation and efficiency, and contribute to the government’s "alleviating housing problems in big cities" quickly and efficiently. Third, large-scale representative enterprises should play a leading role, constantly expand their business boundaries based on leasing functions, and form an industrial matrix of "rental products, rental services, rental industry Internet, and rental living areas integration".

For the government, the first is to improve tax, financial and land support policies, inject "new kinetic energy" into the development of long-term rental housing, and accelerate the structural reform of housing supply side. Second, in the construction of urban leasing system, we should enhance the participation of housing leasing enterprises, so as to quickly improve the government-guided and market-oriented housing leasing system. The third is to advocate institutional development with an open attitude, so that institutions can give full play to the advantages of specialization, scale and service refinement, and help the housing leasing industry to be stable and far-reaching

　　Tang Yanmin, member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Transportation

　　Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media,

　　Good afternoon everyone! First of all, I would like to thank my friends in the news media for their concern for Spring Festival travel rush’s work and their support for transportation. Spring Festival travel rush in 2024 will last for 40 days from today to March 5th. This year is the first normalized Spring Festival travel rush after the smooth transition of the epidemic and holiday adjustment. The provincial party committee and government attach great importance to it, and the people generally pay attention to it. I came to attend today’s press conference with responsible comrades from provincial units and enterprises. Later, we will also exchange views on issues that journalists and friends care about. First, let me introduce the overall situation of Spring Festival travel rush’s work in 2024.

　　First, the situation facing Spring Festival travel rush’s work

　　According to the national forecast, the cross-regional mobility of the whole society will reach a record high, with about 9 billion people traveling, visiting relatives and relaxing in 40 days, and Spring Festival travel rush has undergone structural changes, and self-driving will become the main mode of travel. Henan is located in the Central Plains, connecting the east with the west, connecting the south with the north, and there are many transit vehicles. Spring Festival travel rush is under multiple pressures, such as a substantial increase in passenger flow, a heavy task of ensuring smooth logistics and a grim situation of safe production, and undertakes the important task of ensuring smooth transportation throughout the country with Henan. It is predicted that the number of people traveling in Spring Festival travel rush will exceed 640 million, a record high. On February 17th (the eighth day of the first month), the expressway exit flow will exceed 2.9 million, reaching the peak. Through research, this year’s Spring Festival travel rush in our province has the following five characteristics:

　　First, cross-regional personnel mobility has increased. Combined with the characteristics of this year’s holiday, the student flow, tourism flow, work flow and family visit flow are relatively staggered before the holiday and superimposed after the holiday; Our province is a big province for migrant workers, with 12.36 million migrant workers, and the transportation service guarantee task is more arduous.

　　Second, the proportion of self-driving travel will reach a new high. With the structural changes in public travel habits and the increase in the free time of expressways during the Spring Festival holiday, it is estimated that the expressway export flow will be 74 million vehicles, up 2.8% year-on-year, and the self-driving travel will reach a record high. It is estimated that the proportion of self-driving travel will reach more than 90%, exceeding the national average by 10 percentage points, and the operating pressure of highways and service areas will be greater.

　　Third, there is a strong demand for tourism. Combined with the increasing publicity of cultural tourism in our province, the popularity of tourism in key areas is high, and the incentive effect of the subsidy policy for tourist charter and charter flights in the first quarter is superimposed, the number of tourist charter flights coming to Henan will increase, making it more difficult to guarantee traffic.

　　Fourth, the rainy and snowy weather has increased. According to the forecast of the meteorological department, during the period of Spring Festival travel rush, there are many rain and snow processes in our province, and it is easy to produce low visibility weather such as fog, which will adversely affect the safety work in Spring Festival travel rush.

　　Fifth, the pressure to ensure smooth communication is greater. During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, there was a strong demand for energy, people’s livelihood, spring ploughing and other materials, so it was under great pressure to make overall plans for public travel services and transportation of key materials.

　　Second, the main work measures

　　Conscientiously implement the relevant requirements of the National Spring Festival travel rush Work Conference, make arrangements according to the arrangements of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, keep a close eye on the work objectives of "careful security, warm-hearted travel, careful security, dedicated security and meticulous organization", take on dedication and hard work, and make every effort to do all the work in Spring Festival travel rush.

　　First, go all out to strengthen organizational security in Spring Festival travel rush. According to the work arrangement of the provincial government, a special work class for Spring Festival travel rush led by the Provincial Department of Transportation was set up, with the participation of 22 member units, to co-ordinate the work of Spring Festival travel rush in 2024 and formulate the Work Implementation Plan for Spring Festival travel rush in 2024. On January 20 and 24, a video conference on Spring Festival travel rush work and a conference on promoting the work of comprehensive transportation in Spring Festival travel rush were organized, and the work of Spring Festival travel rush was systematically arranged. All member units perform their duties and work together to continuously innovate and optimize the comprehensive transportation service guarantee.

　　The second is to go all out to improve the quality of passenger travel services. We will carry out the "full journey" activity throughout the whole work process in Spring Festival travel rush, strengthen the consultation and judgment of travel trends, and strengthen the organization and dispatch of public rail navigation and water transport capacity in key time periods and key areas to ensure timely evacuation of passengers. Promote the connection between transportation and tourism, operate shuttle buses, night buses, through trains, etc., strengthen traffic security around key scenic spots, and smooth passenger travel in the "first and last mile". Close to the needs of the masses, organize volunteers to provide warm services for the vast number of tourists in Spring Festival travel rush. Smooth service hotlines in various industries, strive to handle complaints immediately, and meet the needs of the masses to the maximum extent.

　　Third, go all out to do a good job in transportation organization and operation monitoring. Strengthen consultation and judgment, grasp the time and route of passenger travel in time, and consider the allocation of transportation resources as a whole. Guide transportation enterprises to strengthen transportation organization and scheduling according to the changes of passenger flow, and do a good job in ensuring travel services for key people. Strengthen the coordinated connection between cross-transport modes, improve the "point-to-point" and "door-to-door" service capabilities, and ensure the convenient and smooth travel of the masses. Strengthen the tracking and monitoring of the pre-sale of tickets in popular tourist attractions and the flow analysis of hub stations to guide the masses to travel at wrong peaks. Sort out key congested road sections and service areas in advance, formulate a diversion and bypass plan, release prompt information in time, and guide the masses to make reasonable travel routes.

　　The fourth is to go all out to ensure the smooth transportation of key materials. Strengthen coordination and linkage, do a good job in docking the supply and demand of coal, electricity, oil and gas, and do a good job in transportation and transportation to ensure the warm winter of the people. Strictly implement the "green channel" policy for the transportation of fresh agricultural products, and do a good job in organizing and ensuring the supply of people’s livelihood materials such as meat, vegetables, eggs and milk. Plan ahead to do a good job in ensuring the transportation service of agricultural machinery for spring ploughing and preparing for ploughing, and promote the two-way circulation of agricultural products into the city and consumer goods such as agricultural materials and "new year’s goods" to the countryside.

　　Fifth, go all out to strengthen Spring Festival travel rush’s safety emergency response. Strengthen collaborative supervision and joint law enforcement with public security departments, and severely crack down on illegal activities such as "three excesses and one fatigue" and illegal operations. In-depth development of the "six investigations and one dozen" special action, and comprehensive investigation and rectification of potential safety hazards. Strengthen the joint logistics of road and police, implement measures such as police cars leading traffic in bad weather, diverting and diverting traffic in advance in easy-to-block sections, strengthen the sharing of meteorological information in Spring Festival travel rush, enrich emergency rescue teams, reserve emergency vehicles and equipment, preset snow melting agents in advance in key sections and important bridges, and effectively deal with bad weather such as freezing rain and snow.

　　The curtain has been raised in Spring Festival travel rush in 2024. We will conscientiously implement the decision-making arrangements of the provincial party committee and the provincial government on Spring Festival travel rush’s work, and do a solid job in Spring Festival travel rush with full state, excellent ability and strict style, so that everyone can go home safely and live a happy, peaceful, safe and happy Spring Festival.

　　Let me introduce these situations first, thank you!

　　Chang yiyun

　　Thank you, Director Tang, for your detailed release! Next, please ask reporters and friends to ask questions about the issues concerned in this conference. Please also inform the news organizations you represent before asking questions.

　　China news service reporter

　　This year, the passenger flow of Spring Festival travel rush, such as visiting relatives, working, students, traveling, etc., is superimposed, and the passenger traffic should increase significantly year-on-year. I would like to ask the Department of Transportation as the lead unit for Spring Festival travel rush’s work this year. What changes have taken on the whole, and what measures will we take to ensure the work in Spring Festival travel rush this year? Thank you.

　　Tang Yanmin, member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Transportation

　　Thank you for your question. This year, Spring Festival travel rush is the first Spring Festival travel rush where people’s willingness to travel has been fully released after the epidemic prevention and control has turned smoothly. Facing the new changes such as long Spring Festival holiday, large passenger flow and high proportion of self-driving travel this year, the Provincial Department of Transportation has taken the lead in the work of Spring Festival travel rush in the province according to the work arrangement of the provincial government, which is of great responsibility. We cooperated with all the members of the Spring Festival travel rush Work Class to take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility and strengthen cross-regional and cross-departmental coordination around the theme of "Seeing the journey smoothly in the Central Plains" to meet the "big exam" in Spring Festival travel rush. Focusing on the increase of people flow, logistics and passenger flow, we mainly achieve "four guarantees":

　　The first is to ensure the stability and order of Spring Festival travel rush. Carry out comprehensive maintenance of vehicles, boats and other means of transport put into Spring Festival travel rush to ensure that they are in good condition; Conduct training for service support personnel such as drivers and passengers, crew members and station attendants who have invested in Spring Festival travel rush, improve service awareness and emergency response capabilities, and ensure that passengers are escorted in the best condition; Investigate and rectify hidden dangers of roads, bridges, tunnels and stations to ensure safety and smoothness. Put the protection of passengers’ rights and interests in the first place, and severely crack down on illegal acts such as smuggling passengers, dumping passengers, price hikes, overloading and fatigue driving, so as to ensure the people’s peace of mind when traveling.

　　The second is to ensure the safe and smooth road network. Check the facilities and equipment of expressway toll stations in advance, and reasonably set the proportion of ETC and artificial lanes to ensure the normal operation of all toll lanes. During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, except for the emergency maintenance to ensure the safe operation of the highway, maintenance construction will not be arranged for the important guarantee routes in principle. Use 11,000 monitoring points of the highway to conduct video inspections, and timely release reminder information for congested sections, toll stations and service areas. In case of rain, snow and freezing weather, snow removal and ice melting equipment should be preset in advance, and then it will be cleared and cleared. In case of traffic accidents and other emergencies, the emergency plan should be launched in time, and the work of rushing to ensure traffic, diverting vehicles and evacuating people should be properly done to prevent secondary disasters and large-scale passenger detention to the maximum extent.

　　The third is to ensure the convenience of group travel. Guide city buses, subways and taxis to strengthen information sharing and transfer connection with railways and civil aviation, and provide sufficient customized passenger transport, tourist chartered cars and car rental capacity in combination with family visits, work flows, tourist flows, students’ departure time and route characteristics. Strict implementation of the Spring Festival holiday on February 9 (New Year’s Eve) from 00: 00 to February 17 (the eighth day of the first month) at 24: 00 high-speed free passage policy for small passenger cars, for self-driving travel groups, increase the supply of charging facilities and equipment in the service area, and reserve mobile emergency charging equipment and mobile toilets in the service area with large traffic. Provide door-to-door ticket sales, chartered transportation and direct transportation services for migrant workers and students with concentrated demand in conjunction with people’s society and education departments; Optimize the transportation organization to meet the travel needs of rural people such as going to the market, visiting relatives, and ploughing in spring; Cooperate with the cultural tourism department to organize and dispatch the transportation capacity to and from the scenic spot to facilitate the masses’ travel.

　　The fourth is to ensure warm service and warm heart. Organize volunteers to provide ticket purchase assistance, baggage handling, barrier-free access and other services to key groups such as the elderly, the sick, the disabled and the pregnant. We will strengthen the maintenance of facilities in 539 service areas, parking areas and service stations, so that travelers can have hot meals, hot water to drink, toilets to use and facilities for heating, and ensure adequate supply of goods, reasonable prices and qualified food safety. We will continue to provide truck drivers with a 20% discount buffet and cost shower and laundry service in the expressway service area of the province to ensure free use of WIFI, free charging of mobile phones, convenient maintenance and the same price, and safe parking of vehicles. From February 9 (New Year’s Eve) to February 17 (eighth day) and February 24 (Lantern Festival), the expressway service area with auto repair service function in our province provides free inflation and electricity service for all vehicles.

　　During their stay in Spring Festival travel rush, people who encounter traffic jams, difficult problems or have good suggestions can call the "12328" service supervision hotline, and we will try our best to be "responsive and responsive". Here, I would like to give you three warm tips: First, pay attention to road conditions and weather information in advance, and reasonably choose travel time and travel route. Second, consciously resist overcrowding, overloading, illegal operations and other acts. When taking buses and high-speed ships, you must fasten your seat belts and strengthen your own safety protection. Third, no speeding, no fatigue driving, no drunk driving, and no "fighting car". I hope that the whole society will work together to make the road home safer, the journey of traveling more convenient and the experience of traveling more warm. Thank you.

　　Zhou Benzheng, Chief of Traffic Police Corps of Provincial Public Security Department

　　Thank you for your question. In Spring Festival travel rush this year, people have a strong desire to travel, the scale of personnel mobility will reach a new high, the proportion of self-driving travel structure will become more prominent, the highway traffic is high, passenger and cargo transportation is busy, and bad weather is frequent. In view of the new situation in Spring Festival travel rush this year, the Provincial Public Security Department attaches great importance to doing a good job in traffic management in Spring Festival travel rush as a powerful starting point for defending political security and maintaining social stability, as the current central task, as the first battle of the new year, and mobilizing all the civilian auxiliary police to resolutely fight the "five tough battles" with high morale, full enthusiasm and good state. The first is to lay a good job of "actively planning wars." On the basis of summing up the work experience in Spring Festival travel rush in the past, combined with the actual situation this year, the Provincial Public Security Department issued a plan, set up a special class, defined responsibilities, set up a supervision team, and held a meeting, deployment meeting and interview meeting. In the future, it will further improve the implementation of various measures to ensure safety, smooth flow and service. The second is to fight a "hidden danger encirclement and suppression battle." Organize local joint transportation departments to carry out a centralized inspection of passenger and freight enterprises, a comprehensive investigation of passenger and freight vehicles, a safety education for passenger and freight drivers, and a field inspection of hidden danger sections, and resolutely prevent "hidden danger personnel" from driving and "sick vehicles" from going on the road. At present, 504 hidden road sections prone to congestion have been investigated, and diversion, diversion and bypass schemes have been formulated one by one. The third is to fight the "illegal annihilation war." All 103 traffic police law enforcement stations in the province have been started, and comprehensive measures such as fixed-point duty, inspection and law enforcement, investigation and control have been taken.Strictly investigate serious traffic violations such as drunk driving, fatigue driving, and illegal occupation of emergency lanes by expressways. The fourth is to lay a good "three-dimensional synthesis battle." In view of the factors that may affect the smoothness of the road, the judgment will be made three days in advance, the strength will be preset two days in advance, and the deployment will be put in place one day in advance. On the expressway, the joint logistics mode of road police with patrol cars, wreckers and traffic police, road administration, wreckers and other departments is implemented, so as to respond at any time, deal with it quickly and recover in time. The fifth is to fight the "propaganda service battle". Traffic safety, publicity is half. In-depth development of the "Safe Spring Festival travel rush Traffic Police Peer" activities, through navigation, information boards, broadcasting and other means, released in advance "two announcements and one reminder", and made every effort to ensure all kinds of services.

　　Dear friends in the media, the provincial public security traffic control department will go all out to protect the safe, smooth and warm Spring Festival travel rush Road, and resolutely ensure a stable road traffic safety situation in Spring Festival travel rush. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all friends in the media for their long-term concern, understanding and support for the Henan Public Security Traffic Police. I hope that you will continue to publicize, report and promote the Henan Public Security Traffic Police. Let’s make concerted efforts to promote traffic safety in Spring Festival travel rush. Thank you!

　　This year, we are also concerned that the inter-provincial tourism market is very hot. What are the new features of the tourism industry in our province during Spring Festival travel rush, and what measures will the cultural and tourism departments take in response to these new features? Thank you.

　　Shi Dongpo, Second Inspector of Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism

　　Thank this media friend for his concern about Henan culture and tourism development. During the Spring Festival, the cultural tourism market in our province will enter the peak season, showing a good trend of both supply and demand.

　　From the supply side, the province’s cultural tourism system will plan special cultural tourism activities and boutique tourism routes around the traditional culture of the Spring Festival, launch high-quality cultural tourism products and measures to benefit enterprises and people, distribute cultural tourism coupons, organize scenic spots to reduce or exempt tickets, and hold colorful mass cultural activities such as lantern festivals, temple fairs and gardens. These measures will effectively stimulate the cultural tourism needs and enthusiasm of tourists.

　　From the demand side, Spring Festival travel rush coincides with students’ winter vacation, and people take advantage of the rare holidays to travel with their families. Go on road trip and free travel are the main modes of tourists’ travel, and family visits, leisure tours and hot spring tours have become hot spots. According to relevant data, the booking volume of popular tourist cities such as Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and Luoyang increased sharply during the Spring Festival compared with the same period of last year, and the market demand was very strong.

　　Faced with these new features, in order to prosper the Spring Festival cultural tourism market and enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people, the cultural tourism department of our province has taken a series of effective measures.

　　The first is to optimize product supply. Around the theme of traditional culture, theme lantern festival, folk market, immersive performing arts, etc., the provincial cultural and tourism departments jointly launched the theme activity of "Spring in the Central Plains and Hometown Henan", and the five main venues of Zhoukou, Sanmenxia, Nanyang, Hebi and Zhengzhou were linked together; The province will also organize more than 45,000 public cultural activities, such as Kaifeng planning to launch the "Year of China in the Great Song Dynasty", Luoyang arranging 33 activities in six major sections with the theme of "Crossing the Year of Luoyang in the Prosperous Tang Dynasty", and Jiaozuo launching ten 100-series cultural tourism activities such as "Spring in the Central Plains and Jiaozuo celebrating the New Year", so as to let more tourists "walk in Henan" with a sincere feast of.

　　The second is to introduce preferential policies. Organize more than 100 scenic spots in the province to introduce preferential measures such as ticket reduction, discount, etc. to the people of the whole country. For example, the state-owned scenic spots in Zhoukou, Sanmenxia, Nanyang, Hebi and Zhengzhou have introduced the policy of free tickets, and Jiaozuo, Luoyang, Jiyuan and Jincheng, Jinzhong, Changzhi and other cities in Shanxi Province have jointly introduced the preferential policies of free tickets for tourist attractions. In addition, more than 260 tourist hotels in the province launched more than 500 preferential measures.

　　The third is to improve service quality. Strengthen the training and management of tourism professionals, and strive to improve their service awareness and quality. Establish and improve the tourism service supervision mechanism, strengthen the supervision and inspection of the cultural tourism market, implement the 24-hour duty system, unblock the channels for tourists’ complaints, ensure that everything is echoed and everything is implemented, earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and ensure that tourists can swim in Henan with confidence, comfort and happiness.

　　The fourth is to strengthen safety management. During the Spring Festival, the contradiction between the large flow of tourists and the limited reception capacity of popular scenic spots is more prominent. Our cultural tourism department will scientifically judge the risks, formulate response plans and implement preventive measures. Strengthen coordination and cooperation with transportation, emergency departments and other departments, supervise cultural and cultural units and tourist attractions in the province to investigate potential risks, and resolutely stop operation and use if they fail to meet safety standards and requirements.

　　Here, we sincerely invite tourists to visit Henan, enjoy the mountains and rivers, taste the culture and taste at the end of the year! Thank you!

　　We know that every year, trade unions will hold send warm activities during the Spring Festival. What kind of warmth will be given to front-line workers in Spring Festival travel rush this year? Thank you.

　　Liu Xuefeng, Vice Chairman and Party Member of the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions.

　　Thank you, reporter friend. First of all, on behalf of the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the journalists who have long been concerned about the work of trade unions!

　　Mei Bao knows that the Spring Festival is near, and the annual festival is coming again. According to the arrangement of the provincial party committee, the provincial government and the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the trade unions in the whole province carry out the send warm activity of "entering every family, knowing every family’s feelings, solving every family’s difficulties and warming every family’s hearts" every year during the "Double Festival", which is promoted as an important work to serve the overall situation of economic and social development, share the worries of the party committee and government and solve problems for the workers, and develop the activity into a popular project with great influence in the whole society. In the past five years, trade unions at all levels in the province have raised 689 million yuan of sympathy money and materials, visited nearly 23,000 enterprises and expressed condolences to 1.04 million employees. Among them, 433,000 grassroots workers who insisted on providing services to the masses in the production line and directly during the Spring Festival, such as transportation, paid 66.62 million yuan in money and materials.

　　On December 26, 2023, the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions issued a notice to fully deploy the activities of trade unions in send warm in 2024, and formed 14 condolence groups. Since January 5, they have gone to cities under the jurisdiction of provinces, Jiyuan Demonstration Zone and some provincial industrial systems to carry out condolences, and the work of trade unions in send warm in the province has been fully rolled out. During the "Double Festival" period, trade unions at all levels in the province are expected to raise 110 million yuan (including 20.73 million yuan raised by the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions at this level), offering condolences to 280,000 frontline workers, including 90,000 condolences to frontline workers such as transportation, and distributing more than 20 million yuan of money and materials.

　　This year, the passenger flow in Spring Festival travel rush will increase substantially, which will significantly exceed the pre-epidemic level and reach a record high. Front-line workers, such as transportation, are the basic force to serve Spring Festival travel rush, and they are faced with great work and life pressure. People who warm others also need someone to warm them. Trade unions at all levels in the province will perform their duties conscientiously, care for and care for the front-line workers in Spring Festival travel rush, actively provide more accurate, meticulous and meticulous services for everyone, and send them the care and warmth of the party and the government. It mainly highlights the following five aspects: First, it reflects the temperature of caring for employees. Trade unions at all levels will go deep into stations, airports, wharves and carriages, pay a visit to the workers and their families who stick to the front-line posts such as transportation and provide services directly to the masses, organically link send warm with difficulties, mutual assistance and life services, and provide timely assistance when workers encounter sudden difficulties, accidents and major diseases. The second is to reflect the strength of safeguarding rights and interests. Supervise and urge the employer to pay the employee’s salary and overtime pay on time and in full, and make reasonable arrangements for post-holiday leave and compensatory leave. Cooperate with relevant government departments to carry out special actions to eradicate wage arrears in winter, and timely discover and resolve hidden dangers of wage arrears. Smooth the hotline of 12351 trade union service workers and respond to the demands of workers in time. The third is to reflect the accuracy of warm heart service. Guide grass-roots trade unions such as transportation, and carry out differentiated and precise condolence activities based on the actual situation of the unit and the characteristics of workers’ production and life, such as holding tea parties, holding small-scale get-togethers and other workers’ cultural and sports activities, and carrying out warm-hearted services such as sending culture, Spring Festival couplets, holiday meals, New Year’s Eve dinners and psychological care.The fourth is to reflect the breadth of serving employees. Encourage grass-roots trade unions to distribute appropriate holiday condolences to staff members in accordance with the Measures for the Administration of Funds Revenue and Expenditure of Grass-roots Trade Unions, so as to guarantee the normal welfare enjoyed by the staff and workers in accordance with the law. Support grass-roots trade unions such as transportation to further expand inclusive services, enrich service content, and provide more and better services for workers and staff. The fifth is to reflect the depth of ideological guidance. Propagandize the supreme leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, highlight the remarkable advantages of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, dig deep into the advanced models of grass-roots front-line workers such as transportation, publicize their dedication of "giving up a small family for everyone, giving up a small love to make a big love", tell the touching story of Spring Festival travel rush’s "small" and "micro", and carry forward the spirit of model workers, labor spirit and craftsman spirit in Spring Festival travel rush.

　　Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wish the front-line workers in Spring Festival travel rush a happy New Year and a warm and prosperous four seasons! I also wish my friends in the press an early year. I hope everyone will continue to pay attention to supporting the work of the trade union. thank you

What preparations has the railway department made for the upcoming peak passenger flow in Spring Festival travel rush? Thank you.

　　Gan Qingjiang, Deputy Director of Passenger Transport Department of Zhengzhou Bureau Group Company of China Railway

　　Thank you for your question. First of all, I would like to introduce the passenger flow forecast and characteristics of Spring Festival travel rush in 2024. This year, Spring Festival travel rush expects that the group company will send 18.188 million passengers, up by 13.1% compared with 2023, including 8.798 million through passengers, up by 12%, and 9.39 million in-line passengers, up by 14.2%. It is estimated that the first peak of Spring Festival travel rush will be ushered in on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month (February 2nd) before the festival, and it is estimated that 391,000 passengers will be sent. From February 12th after the festival, the daily passenger flow will basically maintain a high level, and the first peak day after the festival will be ushered in on February 17th, the eighth day of the first lunar month, and it is estimated that 704,000 passengers will be sent. After the fifteenth day of the first month, the peak of students’ return passenger flow will be ushered in on February 25th, the 16th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, and it is estimated that 716,000 passengers will be sent.

　　In view of the peak passenger flow during Spring Festival travel rush, the railway department will take the following four measures to ensure the service in Spring Festival travel rush.

　　The first is to expand the transportation capacity to meet the passenger demand. In Spring Festival travel rush in 2024, Zhengzhou Bureau Group Company considered the possible impact of freezing rain and snow disasters, planned ahead of time, and determined the passenger train capacity with good plans in accordance with the principle of "adequate arrangement, on-demand start-up, quick response and emergency preparedness". A total of 127 pairs of passengers were added (including 82 pairs of high-speed rail and 45 pairs of ordinary speed), an increase of 23.3% compared with 2023.

　　The second is to strengthen management to ensure the security of Spring Festival travel rush. First, strengthen equipment quality management. Before the start of Spring Festival travel rush, all units of the Group Company organized their efforts to focus on the major inspection and rectification activities. Strengthen the real-time monitoring of the status of main driving equipment, and strengthen the daily maintenance in a targeted manner to ensure the stability of the equipment. The second is to ensure the safety of passengers. Comprehensively optimize the streamline of passengers entering the station, waiting, checking in, boarding, boarding and leaving the station, pay close attention to the passenger organization of elevators and escalators and the management of bus doors, strengthen passenger guidance in crowded places such as ticket offices, entrance and exit stations and waiting rooms, and implement anti-skid safety protection measures in rain and snow to ensure the safety of passengers boarding and disembarking. The third is to do emergency treatment. Before the start of Spring Festival travel rush, the Group Company carried out a comprehensive inspection of the preparations for the severe weather such as freezing rain, snow and ice, and at the same time further improved the emergency plan for refining the severe weather, equipment failure, sudden passenger flow and train delay.

　　The third item is to take multiple measures to facilitate passengers’ travel. The first is to improve the ticketing organization. Set up a reasonable ticketing organization strategy, formulate a ticketing organization plan, and ensure the orderly development of ticketing work in Spring Festival travel rush. According to the peak period and key direction of students and migrant workers, we will make overall arrangements for the number of tickets to ensure the demand for tickets for migrant workers and student groups in Spring Festival travel rush. The second is to do a good job in the basic service of the general-speed station car and create a good waiting environment for passengers. The third is to strengthen food safety management. Strictly implement the health supervision responsibility guarantee system, and focus on food safety supervision and inspection of food labeling, online ordering, specialty reservation and high-speed train lunch to ensure food safety. The fourth is to do a good job in differentiated services for passengers. Set up special passages and waiting areas for business seats. In accordance with the provisions, set up a military priority ticket window and a military waiting room (area), and standardize the posting of the "military priority according to law" sign.

　　Fourth, take new measures to play the role of the main force of the railway. First, give full play to the advantages of the "meter" high-speed rail and increase the capacity of high-speed rail. Zhengzhou Bureau is attached to the 174 standard group motor car chassis, which will be fully put into operation during the peak passenger flow period in Spring Festival travel rush. Zhengzhou Bureau runs 450.5 pairs of high-speed trains, which greatly meets the needs of passenger flow. At the same time, in order to cope with the peak passenger flow, Zhengzhou Bureau plans to open 71 pairs of high-speed trains at night. The second is to improve the passenger ticketing experience. Strengthen the system capacity during peak hours, increase the functions of subscription notification and pre-filling ticket purchase information, and attract users to return to the official platform of 12306. The third is to further improve the measures to facilitate travel. Add convenient transfer channels to facilitate passengers’ joint travel. Optimize the information notification service, enrich the content of information notification service, increase the notification of abnormal situations such as train delay and shutdown, and expand the transmission range to all passengers; Further improve the construction of waiting charging facilities, add 126 free charging stations (piles) in the tube station, open the power supply facilities in the passenger rooms of ordinary speed trains and EMU trains, and equip the ordinary speed trains with at least two mobile charging treasures that meet the safety requirements during their stay in Spring Festival travel rush to meet the emergency charging needs of passengers on the way. The fourth is to further enhance the warm travel experience. According to the key passenger reservation service process, we will make reservations for key passengers accepted by the station bus site, the 12306 customer service hotline and network, and the "railway line code" to realize the closed-loop management of the whole process of online reservation and offline service. We will ensure the service for people who are suitable for aging and off-line, and maintain manual inquiry, manual guidance, manual handling, cash service, etc. in all places of passenger stations.The fifth is to further create a civilized travel environment. Expand the service scope of quiet car, and the number of trains that the group company serves as the "quiet car" EMU will be increased to 10, so that the silent service can benefit more passengers. The sixth is to further implement fare concessions. During the implementation of Spring Festival travel rush, the fare concessions will cover ordinary speed and bullet trains, temporary passengers and scheduled trains, reverse and forward trains, and further increase the fare concessions. The maximum discount range of ordinary speed trains is as low as 20%, and the maximum discount range of EMU fares is as low as 30%, further benefiting the people.

　　That’s all I’ll introduce. Thank you!

Gansu forced blood selling case： The blood bank involved forced minors to sell blood five years ago.

The gate of Wunan plasmapheresis station involved in the case was closed. The Paper Zhao Chongqiang

　　　　　　　　August 23, the summer heat. After an autumn rain, the city appearance of Wuwei is much clearer than before. However, the "case of forcing minors to sell blood" that has recently attracted national attention has not been settled.

　　　　　　　　Seven suspects involved in the case were arrested, and six others were prosecuted except one because he was under the age of criminal responsibility. Wuwei Wunan Lansheng Plasmapheresis Co., Ltd. (affiliated to Lanzhou Branch of China Biotechnology Co., Ltd., hereinafter referred to as Wunan Plasmapheresis Station) was also revoked by Gansu Provincial Health Planning Commission. All these seem to indicate that this vicious incident will come to an end.

　　　　　　　　However, a survey in The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) found that the number of underage students who were victimized may be far more than the seven identified by the police. The time for illegally collecting plasma at the plasma collection station in Wunan involved in the case may also be longer than that announced by the police from November 2013 to May 2014. However, the serious shortage of plasma and the chaotic supervision of apheresis stations in some areas are the background that can not be ignored in rethinking this case of threatening to sell blood.

Blood-selling network inside and outside campus

　　　　　　　　Judging from the situation announced by Wuwei police, the detection of this blood sale case that shocked the whole country was very accidental.

　　　　　　　　Dong Dexiang, the captain of the Second Brigade of Criminal Police of Liangzhou Branch of Wuwei City Public Security Bureau, disclosed that on May 19th this year, when investigating a case of robbery of students’ property, the Public Security Bureau of Liangzhou District of Wuwei City found clues that Zhang Moumou and others involved in the case forced others to sell blood.

　　　　　　　　On June 6, Liangzhou District Public Security Bureau officially filed a case for forced blood selling. On July 8, the case was listed as a case of supervising evil forces at the municipal level. On August 15th, it became a provincial case of supervising evil forces.

　　　　　　　　According to police investigation, from November 2013 to May 2014, Huang Dahong, deputy stationmaster of Wunan Plasma Collection Station, lured by the company’s introduction of 50 yuan prize for the first plasma donor, instructed Zhang Moumou to find a plasma donor. During this period, plasma of 10 impostors (7 of them were minors) was collected.

　　　　　　　　The case detected by the police is probably just the tip of the iceberg of illegal blood collection at Wunan plasmapheresis station.

　　　　　　　　On the afternoon of August 21st, Huang Xiaotian (pseudonym), who lives in the village next to Wunan plasmapheresis station, walked quickly through the path in front of Wunan plasmapheresis station. He never dared to pass through this road before the Wunan plasmapheresis station was closed. "Mom told me that someone nearby fished (caught) the child to draw blood."

　　　　　　　　This road is the shortest road between his home and school. In order to avoid those who "fish for children", Huang Xiaotian has to make a detour every day.

　　　　　　　　Huang Xiaotian, a 14-year-old junior high school student, has been training in the school these days. He told The Paper that when he was in the fifth grade of primary school, he found that some students in his class went to Wunan Plasma Collection Station to "sell blood". There are nearly 20 students he knows who are involved in "selling blood". In his primary school class, there are seven or eight people involved.

　　　　　　　　Huang Xiaotian recalled that most of these students who participated in "blood donation" were "fished out" for the first time. After discovering that this was also a way to get money, they went by themselves. Usually little or no money is given when it is fished for the first time, and more and more "rewards" are obtained as the number of trips increases. However, he didn’t know whether those who "fished for people" at the intersection had any connection with Zhang Moumou and others in the above-mentioned cases. He only knew that it was easier to get money by "introducing" others to "donate blood" than by himself, "just like pyramid selling".

　　　　　　　　Some parents and teachers also found pinholes in their arms, but they generally used "bitten by mosquitoes or vaccinated" to hide the sky. Huang Xiaotian also found that a classmate in his class still wore long sleeves and wrapped himself up even in summer. In a fight, the classmate was stripped of his clothes. After everyone saw the pinhole on his arm and asked what was going on, he confessed that he often "donated blood".

　　　　　　　　Convert the time, when Huang Xiaotian was in the fifth grade, it was from the second half of 2012 to the first half of 2013, which was much earlier than the November 2013 to May 2014 announced by the police.

　　　　　　　　The Paper found an adult plasma donor on the website of Wunan Plasma Collection Station. According to his memory, at least two years ago, every time he went to donate blood, he would see some students in school uniforms. However, he did not know which school these students came from and whether they were adults.

　　　　　　　　Some residents of the neighborhood opposite to Wunan plasmapheresis station also told The Paper that, especially on weekends, a group of students in school uniforms often walked out of Wunan plasmapheresis station, clutching their arms.

　　　　　　　　The Paper previously reported that Chen Yuhua (pseudonym) was lured to Wunan plasmapheresis station by Zhang Moumou and others in June and July 2013, and then escaped.

　　　　　　　　Several interviewed students told The Paper that some parents took their children to the local police station to report the case. When asking the Wunan police station for verification, Yang Binghao, the director of the institute, shirked the case on the grounds that it was under the control of the city’s criminal investigation team.

　　　　　　　　Paradoxically, according to the report of Western Business Daily in June 2013, in 2012, health supervision institutions at all levels in Gansu Province conducted 54 illegal blood collection and blood supply inspections on blood stations and apheresis plasma stations within their jurisdiction, and no illegal blood collection and blood supply behavior was found.

　"Hungry plasma"

　　　　　　　　The so-called "plasma collection alone" refers to separating the collected human blood by a centrifuge, taking away the plasma and then returning the red blood cells to the blood seller, so that they can recover their physical strength quickly. The plasma provided by the plasma collection station is not used for clinical blood transfusion, but used as raw materials for refining expensive drugs such as human albumin, globulin and platelet factor.

　　　　　　　　According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health, the annual basic demand for raw plasma for the production of blood products in China’s medical market is 8,000 tons-that is, only when the amount of blood products reaches 8,000 tons can the products meet the basic needs of domestic patients. In 2013, the annual pulp production in China was 4,979 tons, which was only half of the demand. Because healthy human plasma is the main raw material of blood products, it is no exaggeration to describe the blood products industry as "valuable without market" under the condition of limited plasma source.

　　　　　　　　An industry insider who did not want to be named believes that the serious shortage of plasma is the deep background of this incident. "There are more than 20 blood products enterprises (nationwide) and more than 100 plasma collection stations, each of which is short of (plasma)."

　　　　　　　　According to Wuwei police, in 2014, the Wunan plasmapheresis station involved in the case required each employee to develop 30 new plasma donors, and 300 yuan was awarded every month if the target was met. If the task was not completed, the bonus of 3,600 yuan for the whole year was deducted. In 2013, the task of the plasma station is to develop 20 people each.

　　　　　　　　Wuwei police did not disclose how other employees completed the task. The Paper found a QQ group named "Wunan Plasma Station". Several people in the group said that they were employees of Wunan Plasma Station, but when asked about "coercing underage blood sales" and "task indicators", everyone chose silence.

　　　　　　　　On August 22nd, The Paper saw that there were still people in the office building of Wunan plasmapheresis station. Someone looked out warily through the curtains. People in white coats called on the stairs at the back of the building, but there was no answer at the door.

　　　　　　　　According to public information, Wunan plasmapheresis station is one of the subsidiaries of Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products, which is affiliated to China Biotechnology Co., Ltd..

　　　　　　　　On the "China Blood Donation Network" sponsored by China Biotechnology Co., Ltd., The Paper found an article "Lanzhou Company held the 2013 deployment meeting of apheresis plasma".

　　　　　　　　According to the article, on the morning of February 28th, 2013, Lanzhou Company held the deployment meeting of plasma apheresis in 2013, and the heads of relevant departments introduced the plasma collection tasks formulated according to the plasma doubling plan of Sinopharm Zhongsheng in 2013 to the plasma apheresis stations, and issued the annual and monthly plans for plasma apheresis in 2013. The person in charge of each plasma collection station signed the 2013 plasma collection task book.

　　　　　　　　Yang Xiaoming, president and secretary of the Party Committee of China Biotechnology Co., Ltd., made a request at the company’s blood source management work conference in May 2012: "From 2012, it is necessary to ensure that the average annual pulp collection of each pulp station will increase by no less than 1 ton."

　　　　　　　　When The Paper asked people in the industry whether every blood product enterprise and apheresis plasma station have assessment tasks, he only vaguely responded that "everyone’s work will be assessed".

　　　　　　　　When The Paper asked the employees of several apheresis plasma stations whether there were any task indicators and reward and punishment measures similar to those of Wunan apheresis plasma station, they all denied that "Wuwei must be a case, which shamed our apheresis plasma station."

　　　　　　　　Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products Co., Ltd., which belongs to Wunan Plasma Collection Station, has not yet responded to the assessment task of Wunan Plasma Collection Station.

A blood station that is difficult to supervise

　　　　　　　　A few years ago, a similar thing happened in Wunan plasmapheresis station.

　　　　　　　　According to the Lanzhou Morning Post reported in March 2009, five local unemployed youths in Wuwei coerced 14 minors to go to Wunan plasmapheresis station to "donate blood" for three times in order to raise the Internet fee, and four of them (one at large) were convicted of "forcing others to sell blood" and sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 4 to 6 years. However, the article does not mention whether the blood station bears legal responsibility.

　　　　　　　　Perhaps, the seeds of chaotic supervision were planted at that time.

　　　　　　　　Southern Weekend once reported that since the beginning of this century, the blood collection and supply system in China, which is the guarantee of raw materials for plasma products, has experienced an extremely chaotic stage. Commercial institutions and blood stations take profit as the sole purpose, and do not standardize blood collection, resulting in the spread of blood-borne diseases such as AIDS, hepatitis B and hepatitis C through blood transfusion and blood products, and the plasma that was originally used for saving lives has become a fatal "culprit".

　　　　　　　　The situation began to change fundamentally in 2006, and the government made up its mind to issue the "Work Plan on the Transformation of Plasma Collection Stations", requiring all domestic plasma collection stations to complete the restructuring task of separating from the management of the health department before December 31, 2006. In this process, a large number of unqualified plasma collection stations were shut down. The Plan sets a deadline for the transformation: December 31, 2006. However, there are many delays in operation in various places, but by the end of 2007 at the latest, the era of plasma collection stations attached to the government was over.

　　　　　　　　This policy undoubtedly played a strong and effective role in regulating the chaos in the industry at that time, but at the same time, the direct result was that in 2007, the national pulp production dropped sharply from more than 5,000 tons at the peak to 2,700 tons, and the production capacity of enterprises dropped sharply. According to the data on the website of the National Family Planning Commission, it was not until 2013 that the national pulp collection volume recovered to 4,979 tons-still less than 5,000 tons.

　　　　　　　　It is against this background that Wunan apheresis plasma station was established. On April 3, 2009, Gansu Legal Newspaper reported on Wunan apheresis plasma station. This report entitled "Insisting on scientific development and devoting to blood donation-Sidenotes on the work of Wunan apheresis plasma station" may be the only public report on Wunan apheresis plasma station at present.

　　　　　　　　According to the report, Wunan plasmapheresis station was established in March 2007 after institutional transformation, and passed the transformation acceptance of the station by the provincial health department in June 2007, and passed the evaluation acceptance of the provincial AIDS screening laboratory in October 2007.

　　　　　　　　The report also mentioned that there were 18 employees in Wunan plasmapheresis station at that time, including 13 health professionals and technicians, and all the 18 employees in the station obtained the employment certificates of the national blood collection and supply institutions.

　　　　　　　　Wuwei police did not announce when Huang Dahong, the deputy stationmaster of Wunan plasmapheresis station, was hired and whether he obtained a work permit.

On August 22nd, there were still people in the office of Wunan plasmapheresis station. People in white coats called on the stairs at the back of the building, but no one answered the door. The Paper Zhao Chongqiang

　　　　　　　　According to Article 46 of the Administrative Measures for Plasma Collection Stations, plasma collection stations shall report the collection of raw plasma to the health administrative department of the local people’s government at the county level every six months. However, when The Paper contacted the Wuwei Health Bureau affiliated to Wunan Plasma Station, the staff responded: "This is under the Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products, so it belongs to the provincial health department and does not belong to our management scope."

　　　　　　　　The office building of Wunan Town Government is separated from the Wunan plasmapheresis station by a wall. A staff member surnamed Liang said that they have no jurisdiction over the plasma station and have not found any illegal blood collection.

　　　　　　　　According to the report of Western Business Daily in July, 2007, Gansu Province will establish three supervision systems and measures for all plasma collection stations in the province according to the requirements of the Ministry of Health. However, has these supervision played a role? This question may not be answered until the case is heard.

　　　　　　　　

Financial report analysis ｜ The performance of the world’s three major luxury goods groups is rising, but the gap between them is also increasing.

LVMH, Kering and Richemont, the world’s three major luxury goods groups, have recently released their latest transcripts for this fiscal year. Their strong upward trend in the first half of the year shows that the industry is recovering rapidly from the negative impact of the epidemic. However, compared with before the epidemic, the growth rate of the three major groups is different, and the epidemic is also widening the gap, including the gap between different luxury goods groups, different brands of the same group and primary and secondary business lines.

Capital means is a common way to quickly eliminate or slow down the gap, and abundant cash flow has also promoted the pace of the head group’s continued expansion. In the latest financial statement, all three companies are optimistic about the future acquisition plan.

LVMH: Profit growth is much higher than before the epidemic.

According to the official release, LVMH Group recorded a revenue of 28.7 billion euros in the first half of 2021, an increase of 56% over the same period in 2020.

Morgan Stanley’s team of analysts said that the "real surprise" came from the obvious improvement of profitability.

In the first half of 2021, LVMH Group’s net profit share was 5.289 billion euros, an increase of 62% over the same period in 2019 and a tenfold increase over 2020. Operating free cash flow exceeded 5 billion euros, more than three times that of the same period in 2019. The operating profit margin was 26.6%, an increase of 5.5% over the same period in 2019.

According to the report, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Fendi, Loewe and Celine are the best-performing brands in the group. Its fashion and leather goods department showed a profit growth much higher than that before the epidemic. In the first half of the year, the profit of LVMH fashion and leather products business group was 5.66 billion euros, more than three times that of the same period in 2020, and an increase of 74% over the same period in 2019.

The exhibition "christian dior, Dream Designer" has been officially unveiled at Chengdu Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA).

Jean-Jacques Guiony, chief financial officer of LVMH Group, said that the demand of consumers in China "remained in good condition for quite a long time". In the first half of the year, Asia excluding Japan accounted for 38% of LVMH’s total revenue, followed by the United States, accounting for a quarter.

Kering: Almost back to the pre-epidemic level.

The growth rate of kering, another luxury goods giant, almost returned to the pre-epidemic level, and accelerated significantly in the second quarter.

On July 27th, kering released the first half of 2021. The data shows that in the first half of 2021, kering’s comprehensive income was 8.05 billion euros, up 54.1% year-on-year, and 8.4% compared with the same period in 2019. Operating profit was 2.237 billion euros, an increase of 134.9% compared with the same period in 2020. The profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization was 2.95 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of 76.2%.

Kering’s main business income in the first half of 2021 increased by 2.3 times compared with the same period in 2020, which was close to the level in the first half of 2019.

Looking back on the first six months of this year, kering said that sales were mainly driven by the "strong momentum" in North America, with business income in North America accounting for 25% and Asia-Pacific region accounting for 43%. Among them, the pillar brand Gucci accounts for 49% of the sales in the Asia-Pacific region.

As always, fashion brands are still the main source of income in kering, contributing 96% of the income. Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta have become the most outstanding brands of kering.

On June 22nd, Gucci presented its new series Aria- Fashion Aria for 2021/2022 in Shanghai.

Gucci’s revenue in the first half of 2021 was 4,479.3 million euros, close to the pre-epidemic level, and its revenue in the same period in 2019 was 4,617 million euros.

Betty Cato’s "Muse of Unique Temperament Inspiration" Saint Laurent Fashion Exhibition is on display in Shanghai.

In the first half of 2021, Yves Saint Laurent’s sales reached 1,045.5 million euros, up 53.5% year-on-year and 17.3% over the same period in 2019.

Bottega Veneta’s revenue in the first half of 2021 was 707.6 million euros, a year-on-year increase of 40.6% and an increase of 19.2% compared with the same period in 2019. The financial report shows that the growth was mainly due to the strong performance in North America.

Kaiyun revealed that the comparable sales of the direct store network including e-commerce increased by 60.1% compared with the first half of 2020 and 11.2% compared with the same period in 2019. Online sales accounted for 14% of the total retail sales in the first six months of 2021.

Some analysts believe that kering’s performance relies too much on Gucci, so kering may launch a major acquisition later. Bernstein analyst Luca Solca has always stressed that Kaiyun urgently needs to build a "second Gucci". In April this year, Francois-Henri Pinault, CEO of Kaiyun, said that the company has the ability to do this.

Richemont Group: Hard luxury performance led the rise, while fashion sales declined.

According to its own fiscal year calculation rules, Richemont Group, which mainly focuses on the hard luxury business of jewelry and watches, recently released its financial report for the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 (April 1-June 30). The data shows that the sales of Richemont Group in the first quarter of this fiscal year was 4.3 billion euros, an increase of 121% compared with the same period in 2020 and an increase of 18% compared with the same period in 2019.

Richemont said in a statement that the performance in the Asia-Pacific region, America and the Middle East was particularly strong, especially in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, where tourism provided additional impetus for performance growth. However, in Europe, due to the sharp decline in tourism, the group’s sales in the first quarter decreased by 15% compared with the same period in 2019.

According to the industry breakdown, the sales of jewelry business where Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and other brands are located led the increase, with an increase of 43% compared with the first quarter of 2019, followed by the watch business.

At the same time, the sales of Dunhill, Chloé and other fashion businesses declined, which Richemont Group believes is partly due to the fact that the epidemic has reduced the number of passengers staying in airport boutiques.

　

Do you know whether the pinyin ＂O＂ is pronounced ＂O＂ or ＂Wo＂？ The expert replied.

　　On July 6, 2021, in Mingzhu Community, Minzhu Town, Langao County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province, the staff of "4: 30 Class" were teaching children to read pinyin. Xinhua news agency

　　Xin Yuan/Cartography

　　figure 1

　　 　Recently, the pronunciation of the pinyin letter "O" has aroused widespread concern and discussion, and the reading volume of related topics is nearly 100 million. One of them is entitled "Do you know? Is the pinyin "O" pronounced "Ou" or "Wo"? Weibo believes that "many people will ‘ o’ Read as ‘ Wo ’ . The staff of the Ministry of Education said that according to the current teaching standards, the pronunciation of # Pinyin O should be pronounced in Europe #. "

　　 　According to the author’s search, the content comes from a tweet "Pinyin" O pronounced "Europe" or "Wo" published by WeChat official account Capital Education, the official WeChat of Beijing Municipal Education Commission. 》。 The article holds that: "At present, academic circles are concerned about ‘ o’ The pronunciation of ""has always been controversial, and there is no special unified consensus. At present, the pronunciation of teachers in teaching is set according to the teaching standards issued by the education authorities every year, and the current standard is to identify ‘ o’ It is a single vowel, pronounced ‘ Europe ’ 。”

　　 　From this point of view, it seems that reading the vowel "o" as "ou" is the official opinion. However, the paper does not point out the source of the document "Teaching Standards issued by the education authorities every year", and the author has no way to verify it.

　　 　As a member of the research group entrusted by the Ministry of Education, I was very concerned about this topic. Here, I want to talk about how to pronounce the vowel "o" from three aspects: the source of the Chinese Pinyin Scheme (hereinafter referred to as the Scheme), the original intention of the developer and the actual pronunciation of Beijing pronunciation.

　　 　First of all, we should make it clear that the pronunciation of Chinese phonetic letters in the Alphabet (called the "names" of letters in the Scheme) is not the same as the pronunciation of initials and finals in the Initial List and the Final List. When people ask how to pronounce the "O" in "ι, O, E", they refer to the pronunciation of the vowel "O", not the pronunciation (name) of the letter "O" in the Alphabet "N, O, P". Therefore, what we are discussing here is the pronunciation of the vowel "o", not the pronunciation of the letter "o", although the pronunciation of the two is the same in the Scheme.

　　 　The author thinks that the vowel "o" in the vowel table should be pronounced "wo" instead of "ou".

　　 　Historically, the Scheme comes from the phonetic alphabet developed by the Pronunciation Unification Association before liberation (agreed in 1913, published in 1918, revised in 1920, and renamed as "phonetic symbol" in 1930) and the "French phonetic alphabet of Mandarin Roman characters" developed by the Mandarin research society "Several People Association" (agreed in 1926 and published in 1928).

　　 　Li jinxi, a famous linguist, used to be a member of the Research Committee of Mandarin Romance Pinyin, and also a member of the Association of Several People. In his book The Basic Tool of Chinese Standardization — — From phonetic alphabet to phonetic alphabet, it is clearly pointed out that the phonetic alphabet "ㄛ" is "‘ Wo ’ It explains that Beijing has always pronounced the vowel "ㄛㄛ" as "ㄨㄛ" because it can only spell "ㄨㄛ".

　　 　Qian Xuantong, a famous linguist, is one of the members of the "Association of Numbers". He interprets the pronunciation of "O" in the Roman characters (Latin letters) in Mandarin as follows: In fact, there is no such vowel in Mandarin, "Wo, Guo, Kuan, Fire, Wave, Slope, mo, Buddha, Duo, Camel, Nuo, Luo, Zuo, Wrong, Suo. As for other sounds, they must be spelled with uo. (quoted from Wang Li’s Chinese Phonology)

　　 　Zhou Zumo, a famous linguist and professor of Peking University, once served as a member of the "Audition Committee" after liberation. He pointed out in the "Chinese Pinyin Letter Learning Method (Revised Edition)" that "O" is a post vowel. The tongue position is lower than u, and later. The back of the tongue surface bulges to the soft palate, the tip of the tongue hangs under the lower teeth, the lips are slightly round, but not prominent, and the muscles are not tense. This is the vowel sound in the words "dial" (bō), "slope" (pō) and "touch" (mō).

　　 　Mr. Zhou Youguang, a famous linguist who participated in the development of the Plan, once said when recalling the formulation process of the Plan: "bo" is written in Beila (referring to "the new Latin script of northern dialect") and "do" is written in Duomo. Pinyin (referring to "Scheme") means "bo" for "Bo" and "duo" for "Duo". It is suggested that all the letters can be saved by writing in Beila. It is also suggested that the word "wave" should be written as "buo", which is unified in specifications and conforms to the principle. After studying, the Program Committee decided to adopt the traditional writing method of phonetic alphabet. ("Recalling the Formulation Process of the Chinese Pinyin Scheme")

　　 　Mr. Xu Shirong participated in the development of the Program, and served as a member of the Audition Committee for two times. When explaining the pronunciation of the vowel "o", he said: [see Figure 1]=o, and the vowel with a round lip in the second half [see Figure 1] is a slightly opened symbol under [o]. Appears after "lip sounds" B, P, M, F and round-lipped vowel u([u] or [w]). A Brief Introduction to Phoneme in Beijing.

　　 　Since the vowel "O" in the Scheme is used to mark the vowels of the words "Bo" (bō), "Po" (pō), "Mo" (mō) and "Buddha" (fó) according to the original intention of the developer, the correct pronunciation of "O" should take the vowels of these words, that is, these syllables. The author is not from Beijing, but has lived in Beijing for more than 20 years. The author tried to ask several Beijing-born teachers and friends, and they would naturally pronounce uo.

　　 　The vowel "O" after the initial of lip sound in Beijing pronunciation is a variant of the same vowel as "uo" after other vowels, which can not only be verified by Beijing people’s sense of language, but also be supported by experimental phonetics.

　　 　When describing the phonetic value of the vowel "o" in Putonghua, famous experimental phoneticians, Professor Lin Tao from Peking University and Professor Wang Lijia pointed out that the tongue position of o[o] is slightly lower than that of the positioning vowel [o] in the international phonetic alphabet, and it is a post vowel between half-high and half-low, and the strict phonetic notation should be [oт]. Because the tongue position of [o] is obviously lower than that of [u], the degree of round lips is also worse than that of [u]. In Mandarin, [oт] only appears after the lip consonant alone, and there is often a very short [u] in front of it, so the strict phonetic notation of [o] should be [uoт], but this [u] is actually only a transitional sound between the lip consonant and [o], and the degree of round lips is poor, which is also the inevitable result of the low tongue position. (Phonetics Course)

　　 　Mr. Shi Feng, a well-known experimental phonetician and a member of the research group "Formulation of Pronunciation Criterion of Putonghua and Revision of Pronunciation Table of Different Pronunciation Words in Putonghua", pointed out when describing the phonetic value of the vowel "o" in Putonghua: the actual pronunciation of the vowel o[o] after the lip consonant is lipped [u] and has a vowel u, which should be a second-order vowel like the uo after other initials. ("Reanalysis of Putonghua Vowels")

　　 　The Chinese character marked with the vowel "O" in the Scheme is "Oh". The word "oh" has two pronunciations, one is an exclamation (also written as "oh") and the other is a cock’s cry (w), so we are not sure how to pronounce the vowel. However, according to the descriptions of several scholars who participated in the development of Mandarin Roman characters and the Plan, we know that this vowel refers to the vowel in the syllables represented by the Chinese characters "Bo, Po, Mo and Buddha", not to the vowel of the exclamation.

　　 　Of course, we can’t completely rule out the speculator’s intention to use the exclamation "oh" to express the vowel of a single vowel (going back to Qian Xuantong’s Notes on the Changes of Phonetic Symbols in the Past Eighteen Years, we can see that the Chinese characters he noted on the vowel "o" are really "oh", which is contradictory to his own statement about the vowel "o" quoted in the previous article). However, the reading method of interjections changes greatly in people’s oral actual sound value, or has great vagrancy and uncertainty. The reason why "oh not" is written as "oh" and "yo y not" is written as "yo" shows that the vowel "o" in exclamatory words is closer to the [] in the international phonetic alphabet (see Wu Shuyan’s Pronunciation of the vowel o in Chinese Pinyin Scheme), so the exclamations "oh (oh)" yo (yo).

　　 　To sum up, the vowel "O" in "Scheme" is used to mark the vowel symbols of "Bo" (bō), "Po" (pō), "Mo" (mō) and "Buddha" (fó) according to the original intention of the developer. "O" is only spelled with the initial consonant of lip sound, while "uo" is only spelled with other initial consonants other than the initial consonant of lip sound, and their positions are complementary, so we can think that "O" and "uo" are different variants of the same vowel. Reading "O" as "Wo" is not only in line with the original intention of the developers of the Scheme and the actual pronunciation of Beijing dialect, but also in line with the principles of general phonetics, and can be verified by experimental phonetics, which is a correct pronunciation, rather than a "misunderstanding" as mentioned in the above-mentioned tweets and posts.

　　 　Now some people pronounce the vowel "o" as "ou", which may be influenced by the pronunciation of the English letter "o", and it may also be related to the fact that these people don’t know that the pronunciation of letters in the Alphabet and the pronunciation of vowels in the vowel table are two different things. Reading the vowel "o" as "ou" not only does not conform to the original intention of the developers of the Scheme, but also causes the vowel to be mixed with another vowel "ou ou" that has no historical origin and complementary distribution, which is an undesirable mispronunciation. If the vowel "o" is read as "ou", then "bo", "po", "touch" and "Buddha" should be read as bōu, pōu, mōu and Fó u. Isn’t that ridiculous?

　　 　Article 18 of Chapter 1 of the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on National Common Language stipulates: "The national common language uses the Chinese Pinyin Scheme as a tool for spelling and phonetic notation. The Chinese Pinyin Scheme is a unified standard for the spelling of Roman letters in Chinese’s names, place names and Chinese documents, and is used in areas where Chinese characters are inconvenient or unusable. Primary education should be taught in Chinese Pinyin. " The Chinese Pinyin Scheme is the national standard of Chinese Pinyin and has the binding effect of laws and regulations. Reading the vowel "o" as "ou" is a wrong pronunciation and should be corrected. The author appeals that the media should be cautious when releasing information related to language standards or regulations, so as to avoid the negative impact on the teaching of Chinese Pinyin and the promotion of Putonghua in primary education and teaching Chinese as a foreign language.

CIRC： Investment insurance companies need to use their own funds with legal sources.

　　CCTV News:According to the website of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission recently revised and issued the Measures for the Administration of Equity of Insurance Companies. The person in charge of the relevant departments of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission pointed out that the "Measures" further improve the entry threshold and ensure that "the insurance industry is guaranteed" based on the principle of "letting people who really want to do insurance enter the insurance industry". The "Measures" clearly require investment insurance companies to use "self-owned funds with legitimate sources" to strengthen the examination of the authenticity of the shares.

　　How does the Measures further tighten shareholder access? The person in charge said that the "Measures" are based on the principle of "letting people who really want to do insurance enter the insurance industry", further improving the entry threshold, standardizing the investment and shareholding behavior, preventing improper interest transfer and various risks, and ensuring "the insurance industry’s surname is guaranteed".

　　First, strict access conditions, in terms of financial status, investment capacity and other aspects have put forward more stringent requirements.

　　The second is to set up a negative list of market access, which clearly stipulates that investors with unclear ownership structure or disputes, records of holding shares, providing false information or false statements, and bearing heavy responsibility for insurance companies’ business failures and major violations are not allowed to invest in shares.

　　Third, it is forbidden for investors who have cash flow fluctuations that are greatly affected by the economic boom, have a record of bad investment behavior in the open market, and have had bad influence from dishonest business practices to become controlling shareholders of insurance companies.

　　The fourth is to increase the consideration of shareholders’ capacity building in the industry.

　　How does the Measures strengthen the supervision of ownership structure? The person in charge said that in line with the principle of prudent supervision, the Measures reduced the upper limit of the shareholding ratio of a single shareholder from 51% to 1/3. At the same time, according to the principle of classified supervision, according to the shareholding ratio of shareholders and their influence on the operation and management of insurance companies, the shareholders of insurance companies are divided into control category (the shareholding ratio is more than 1/3, or their voting rights have a controlling influence on the resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting), strategic category (the shareholding ratio is more than 15% but less than 1/3, or their voting rights have a significant influence on the resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting), financial category II (the shareholding ratio is more than 5% but less than 15%), and financial category II. Different categories, different qualification requirements, different review priorities and different regulatory measures are imposed.

　　After the formal implementation of the new measures, in principle, the ownership structure of existing insurance companies will not be retroactively adjusted, but some insurance companies with potential risks in the ownership structure will be given window guidance and targeted regulatory measures will be taken. For the new behavior of investment insurance companies, the new regulatory requirements shall be strictly followed.
