Not long ago, Dong Mingzhu reused a female cadre and divided Wang Ziru’s right to speak on channel reform.Lu Luqun, the new sales director in charge of Gree’s household appliances business department, is also an "iron lady" who once won the defense war of Gree Hebei dealers with great vigour.Recently, when Dong Mingzhu punched in Hanfu in the ancient city of Luoyi, Lu Luqun was also her Hanfu girlfriends group.

Wang Ziru’s opponent is here.

Dong Mingzhu, who is quick to talk, has been searched again because of some remarks.

Recently, when Dong Mingzhu talked about his feelings about the hit drama My Altay, he said that "migrant workers can resign if they want to relax, which is a personal choice". Then he said, "Like me, I haven’t had a rest for more than 30 years. Do you think it’s a loss or a blessing?" Not surprisingly, the migrant workers who have just been "backstab" by Wang Ma are still angry with Dong Mingzhu’s remarks.

As the "Iron Lady" who has been at the helm of Gree for more than 20 years, Dong Mingzhu has always been known for her bold personality and quick words. existAfter the revenue has reached the best record in history, Dong Mingzhu still hangs on the hot search for many times because of his remarks such as "Dong Yuhui’s national sea election" and "not firing young people".

There is a hot search for all kinds of comments here, and Dong Mingzhu is not idle there, and he frequently moves his knife internally. Recently, Gree Electric has welcomed a new "Iron Lady"-Lu Luqun.

In May, Gree Electric issued two notices in succession, one was "Notice on the Establishment of Household Appliances Business Department", and the other was "Notice on the appointment of Comrade Lu Luqun". The former announced that Gree Electric would set up the first household appliances business department in history, while the latter announced that Lu Luqun would be the sales director of the department. From the rank point of view, Lu Luqun, together with Wang Ziru, head of the channel reform project, will become Dong Mingzhu’s right-hand man in channel reform.

"It can be said that Wang Ziru has ushered in a competitor," said Liu Buchen, a senior analyst in the home appliance industry. "Wang Ziru has always been responsible for the channel reform, but now the channel of ice washing business has been handed over to Lu Luqun. To some extent, Wang Ziru will try to prove himself. ".

As a manager whose exposure is far less than that of Dong Mingzhu and Wang Ziru, Lu Luqun himself is somewhat mysterious, but he has been deeply involved in the home appliance industry. According to public information, Lu Luqun graduated from Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics, and worked in Fangtai E-commerce Department and JD.COM Retail Appliance Division successively.

What made Lu Luqun famous was the fact that Xu Zifa, the general distributor of Hebei, turned against the water and sold Philips. In 2022, Xu Zifa, the general distributor of Gree Hebei, suddenly changed to sell Philips Electric Appliances. Lu Lu Qun, then CEO of Zhuhai Huange Digital Technology Co., Ltd., was appointed as the general agent of Gree Electric in Hebei, which helped Gree quickly stabilize the dealer relationship.

It is understood that Lu Luqun has stabilized the market of Hebei dealers. In the first quarter of this year, the order amount of Gree dealers in Hebei exceeded 1 billion, the middle and high-end sales accounted for over 55%, and the installation volume increased by 30% year-on-year, setting the best result in recent years. After this battle, Lu Luqun was highly valued and valued by Dong Mingzhu more and more.

According to Tianyancha data, Lu Luqun is also the chairman of Henan Gree Ice Wash Sales Company. It is worth mentioning that this company was established on May 15th, a week before Gree held a new product launch conference in Luoyang.

In the recent public appearances of Dong Mingzhu, besides Wang Ziru, there are also many figures of Lu Luqun. Dong Mingzhu punched in Hanfu in the ancient city of Luoyi, and Lu Luqun was her best friend group of Hanfu. Dong Mingzhu visited Luoyang workshop, and Lu Luqun followed around. At the new product launch conference in Luoyang, Lu Lu Qun wearing a blue shirt was also quite eye-catching.

This conference, which has no air conditioning, only refrigerators, washing machines and other new products, is also the first public appearance of Lu Luqun after taking up his new job. At the meeting, dressed in a blue suit and skirt, she introduced new products to the dealers present, and explained how Gree would increase the sales of household appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines that Gree was not good at through digitalization.

"I didn’t know Lu Luqun well before, and this is the first time I met her." A dealer present told the "city boundary", "I felt that she was very capable and should be a very capable leader." On the social platform, some dealers also requested to take photos with Lu Luqun, and Lu Luqun himself smiled and responded, which seemed very friendly.

According to the dealers present, Wang Ziru, who had been accompanying Dong Mingzhu that day, did not give a speech on the stage.

Dealers are under great pressure

Although air conditioners, refrigerators and washing machines belong to white electricity, they are interlaced like mountains.For today’s Gree, it is not easy to enter the ice washing track in the Red Sea.

"Gree’s brand label is too obvious, giving the public the impression that Gree is an air conditioner, and other businesses are definitely unprofessional," a veteran of the home appliance industry told the "city boundary". "Gree’s market share of washing machines and refrigerators is approaching zero. In the past few years, Gree’s Jinghong refrigerators still have some sales, and some Jinghong refrigerators on the JD.COM platform have sold tens of thousands of units. Looking at it now, the sales volume of a single unit is only a hundred digits. "

Jinghong refrigerator is one of the most famous brands in Gree’s ice washing business. Even so, it is hard to find its sales in the financial report. According to the data of Aoweiyun. com in April this year, Jinghong refrigerator can’t be found in the top 20 refrigerator brands in terms of online or offline channels.

"One is technology, and the other is pricing," the above-mentioned person said. "Jinghong refrigerator has no fresh-keeping technology, and the product pricing is a bit high. It may be that the management is too confident about its products."

"The lack of product strength itself is the fundamental factor that Gree can’t always sell white goods except air conditioners." Liu Buchen believes that "Gree has no breakthrough in white goods technology in recent years, and it is difficult to play an advantage because of the lack of explosive products. Air conditioners do well, which does not mean that refrigerators and washing machines can also do well."

On the other hand, the independent ice washing business is also facing greater channel pressure. Although Dong Mingzhu promised not to let dealers do business at a loss at the scene, judging from the increasingly tense relationship between dealers and Gree, it is also a difficult problem to persuade dealers to sell products that Gree has little advantage.

Since the impact of e-commerce, Gree Electric, which has always been inseparable from offline dealers, has gradually reformed its channels and marched online. In order to seize the lost market, Gree tried to attract consumers with low-price strategy, but it violated the interests of the huge offline distribution network, and the dissatisfaction accumulated day by day.

In 2020, Dong Mingzhu began live broadcast with goods, with 13 live broadcasts, with sales of 47.62 billion yuan, accounting for 27.93% of Gree Electric’s revenue that year. However, such achievements are sold at a price lower than the dealer’s price. According to media reports at that time, the price of one inverter air conditioner in Gree was close to 2,300 yuan, and the price of ordering in the live room was only 1,819 yuan.

How beautiful the live data is, how ugly the face of the offline dealer is. The offline staff told the "city boundary" that many air conditioners sold live at that time were contracted by dealers because of the low price. According to Dong Mingzhu, in the sales of a live broadcast, GMV diverted by dealers can reach one third of the total revenue.

However, just after the live broadcast of the 618 th National Congress in that year, the third largest shareholder of the company, namely Gree’s distributor channel alliance "Jinghai Internet" reduced its holdings by 110 million shares, accounting for 1.86% of Gree Electric’s total share capital, and cashed in more than 3.5 billion yuan.

"Dong Mingzhu stores, JD.COM, Tmall and offline stores have more channels, and consumers have started to shop around. In the past, an air conditioner could earn hundreds of dollars, but now it is a smile to earn a hundred." The above personnel said.

Such reform has also brought Gree Electric’s relationship with veterans who have worked hard together to a freezing point.

In 2021, Huang Hui, the CEO who was once known as Dong Mingzhu’s successor, joined Philips Air Conditioning, and Vinfom Hu, the assistant to the president, and Xu Zifa, a distributor in Hebei, also switched from Gree to Philips. Guo Shuzhan, a big distributor in Henan Province, joined Midea, while Duan Xiufeng, a big distributor in Shandong Province, started to operate the "fourth platform" to sell brands of electrical appliances such as Oaks, Gree Electric and Midea, and "everyone sells them".

Not only that, but the sales pressure of dealers is also getting bigger and bigger. Many dealers have to digest the backlog of inventory pressure by themselves. "Especially after 2020, Gree will introduce some special packages to dealers, but dealers need to raise some mid-to high-end machines in proportion, such as the Moon Goddess." Relevant persons from channels told the "city boundary" that "the goddess of the moon must be mentioned in the rebate, otherwise the rebate money will be gone."

As a high-end model launched by Gree, the performance of the Moon Goddess with a price of more than 8,000 yuan on the e-commerce platform is also unsatisfactory. In the flagship store jointly operated by Gree, a household appliance in JD.COM, the monthly sales volume of Moon Goddess is only 17 pieces.

"In the past, there were rewards for cashback every New Year Festival and Home Improvement Festival, but now there are very few, even if there are subsidies, there is a lot less." The person said.

Difficult to find the second curve

Integrating marketing, splitting channels, and promoting Lu Luqun, all kinds of actions show that Gree Electric doesn’t want to let the air-conditioning business be the only one.

Gree Electric mentioned in the original notice of "Establishing Household Appliances Business Department" that the functions and personnel of household air conditioner, small household appliances business department, ice washer and household appliances business department should be merged. In addition, Dong Mingzhu also indicated that it would set up independent sales companies for refrigerators, washing machines and household appliances in various provinces in China.

This means that Gree Electric will focus on the ice washing business in marketing, but in terms of channels, it will separate the air conditioning business, so that air conditioners, refrigerators and washing machines will no longer be sold together.

For a long time, the slogan "Good air conditioning, made by Gree" has been deeply rooted in consumers’ minds. Air-conditioning business has also consistently accounted for more than 70% of Gree Electric’s total revenue. Thanks to the influence of global warming, the air-conditioning industry ushered in a recovery last year, with the first positive growth in shipments in the past three years, which also enabled Gree Electric to achieve the best performance in history.

In 2023, the total revenue of Gree’s air-conditioning business was 151.2 billion yuan, up 12.13% year-on-year, which directly led Gree to break through the revenue mark of 200 billion yuan, up 7.82% year-on-year. On the other hand, the total revenue of household appliances business was only 4 billion yuan, accounting for only 1.96%, down 12.39% year-on-year.

In contrast, Midea’s HVAC revenue in 2023 was 161.111 billion yuan, accounting for 43.31% of revenue, but the revenue of consumer appliances was 134.692 billion yuan, accounting for 36.2% of revenue.

Air-conditioning business accounts for the bulk, which is closely related to Dong Mingzhu’s attitude of betting on air-conditioning. Before entering Gree, Dong Mingzhu read in the newspaper that the greenhouse effect leads to global warming, and residents’ income is getting higher and higher. She judged that the air-conditioning industry must make a lot of money in the future. As for other diversification measures, Dong Mingzhu has been less interested.

The most intuitive embodiment is in Gree’s cash flow. For a long time, Gree was a full cash cow, with abundant funds on the account, cautious investment in M&A, and less capital expenditure of the company. It is also known for its high dividends. On the one hand, this is the embodiment of Gree’s strong ability to resist risks, but on the other hand, there are many "dead money" in the account, which also means that Gree’s development strategy is more traditional and there is strategic confusion about where to go.

If the internal goal tends to be stable, then it must be the external environment that promotes its change. In the first half of 2015, Gree Electric lost the status of air conditioner boss and wasBeyond. Since 2020, Gree Electric’s air-conditioning revenue has been continuously surpassed by Midea Group, and the gap has widened from 3.3 billion yuan to 9.9 billion yuan in 2023.

It is also from these years that Gree Electric began to eagerly seek diversified layout. In 2021, the business composition of Gree’s annual report expanded from five to seven, with two more items called industrial products and green energy. From mobile phones, industryFrom new energy vehicles to prefabricated vegetables and semiconductors, Gree has entered the game. Some, such as Gree mobile phones, have gone up in smoke, and some have not brought obvious revenue in the short term. In 2023, the combined revenue of the two new businesses was only 8.34%.

On the other hand, Gree’s dependence on air-conditioning business is growing, from less than 70% in 2019 to more than 70% today.

In recent years, Dong Mingzhu’s revenue target for Gree Electric has also been gradually downgraded. In 2018, Dong Mingzhu said that the sales target of Gree Electric in 2023 was 600 billion yuan. After failing to achieve the target of 600 billion yuan, Dong Mingzhu changed his mind to double Gree Electric’s performance in the next five years, that is, to create a Gree in five years. However, where will this increase of 200 billion come from?

Fully electronic! From November 1 ST, it is no longer necessary to print paper vouchers for reimbursement of train tickets.

According to news from official website, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, the Ministry of Finance and China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. jointly issued an announcement today (18th).From November 1 this year,Popularization and use of comprehensive digital electronic invoices in the field of railway passenger transport in China-electronic invoices (railway electronic tickets).

Popularizing the use of comprehensive digital electronic invoices will reduce the cost of invoice use, improve the efficiency of invoice management and use, and meet the needs of passengers to obtain electronic invoices (railway electronic tickets) conveniently.

For passengers,The biggest change of electronic invoice (railway electronic ticket) is that it is no longer necessary to print "railway ticket (paper reimbursement voucher)" at railway stations, ticket sales outlets and self-service machines.Make it easier for passengers to travel. For units, financial personnel can carry out paperless reimbursement, accounting, filing and storage based on electronic invoices (railway electronic tickets), and promote the digital transformation and "online operation" of related businesses.

According to the announcement,Passengers can obtain the electronic invoice (railway e-ticket) through Railway 12306 (website and mobile client) and inquire, download and print it after the trip ends or after paying the refund or change fee.Units can query, check, download, print and confirm the use of electronic invoices (railway electronic tickets) through tax digital accounts, and can also check through the national VAT invoice inspection platform. If the unit is a general taxpayer of value-added tax, the electronic invoice (railway electronic ticket) shall be used as the tax deduction certificate of value-added tax, and the input tax amount shall be determined according to the existing regulations.

It is worth noting that for the convenience of passengers and units,Railway passenger transport has set up a transition period in the implementation and use of comprehensive digital electronic invoices, which ends on September 30, 2025.During the transition period, "paper and electricity are in parallel", passengers can still use railway tickets (paper reimbursement vouchers) for reimbursement, and units can also record them with railway tickets (paper reimbursement vouchers) and calculate the VAT input tax deduction according to regulations.

Li Xuhong, vice president and professor of Beijing National Accounting Institute, said that compared with the original invoice issuing method, the fully digital electronic invoice has the characteristics of "one-stop" invoice service, which will greatly facilitate passengers and units. Units are used for docking accounting and financial management informationization, reducing the cumbersome links of paper invoice management and improving the overall management efficiency.

Follow the people’s direction: the foundation of strictly administering the party in an all-round way.

  Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out in his important speech on July 1st: "The people’s position is the fundamental political position of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and it is a remarkable sign that Marxist political parties are different from other political parties." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the general secretary, proceeding from upholding and developing the overall situation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, has put forward the strategic task of strictly administering the party in an all-round way, and implemented a series of effective measures to manage the party and the party, striving to eliminate the accumulated disadvantages, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil spirits, showing a gratifying new atmosphere in the party style and political style, and further rallying the hearts and minds of the party. The practice of strictly administering the party in an all-round way fully proves that "the people’s heart is the greatest politics", and it also shows that the test of the effectiveness of party building ultimately depends on the people’s heart. Standing on the people’s side and following the people’s direction is the foundation of strictly administering the party in an all-round way.

  "Our direction is the direction of the people."

  If the Communist Party of China (CPC) wants the broad masses of the people to closely unite around itself and become the core of leadership that takes the overall situation into consideration and coordinates all parties, the first thing to do is to play a banner that reflects the will of the people and is supported by the people, that is, the general goal and direction of its own work. In 1954, the first Constitution of New China adopted by the First National People’s Congress stipulated the principles of people’s democracy and socialism, and determined the transition to socialism. Faced with this historical choice of the people, Comrade Mao Zedong said very clearly: "Our direction is the direction of the people." In other words, the Communist Party of China (CPC) takes the people’s direction as its own direction.

  In various historical periods in the past, it was precisely because our party always adhered to the direction of the people and the goal chosen by the people that it won the sincere support and support of the people, kept itself strong in creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness, and led the people to win one victory after another in revolution, construction and reform.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the general secretary has shouldered the heavy responsibility entrusted by the party and the people. Comrade Supreme Leader declared very clearly at the beginning of his term as General Secretary: "The people’s yearning for a better life is our goal." "We must always have a heart-to-heart relationship with the people, share joys and sorrows with the people, unite with the people, stay up all night in public, work diligently, and strive to hand over a qualified answer sheet to history and the people." Comrade Supreme Leader emphasized: "Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road is the only way to realize socialist modernization and create a better life for the people." The great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics held high by our Party closely links national development, national rejuvenation and people’s happiness, and embodies the fundamental interests and common aspirations of the broad masses of workers, peasants, intellectuals, other socialist laborers, socialist builders and all other patriots, and has become a banner of unity, forge ahead and victory for the Party and the people.

  Following the people’s direction is the foundation of all the party’s work and party building, which requires us to build the party well in line with the people’s wishes and expectations. As the supreme leader comrade pointed out, "the development of the situation, the development of the cause and the expectations of the people all require us to comprehensively promote the new great project of party building with the spirit of reform and innovation." At present, the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, to which the interests and happiness of the people of all ethnic groups depend, has stood at a new historical starting point. However, on the way forward, we will face all kinds of difficulties and challenges, climb countless slopes, cross countless hurdles and endure countless storms. In today’s China, except the Communist Party of China (CPC), no other political force can become the leading force in the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. The people should rely on the Communist Party of China (CPC) to hold the "steering wheel" well, lead them to climb over the hurdles, overcome the difficulties and challenges ahead, achieve the set goals and realize their desire for a better life. The people are particularly eager to expect that the Party can solve the problems existing in its own construction, always sit in the same boat with the people, share joys and sorrows with the people, and be the "caring person" and "the backbone" of the people, just like in the revolution and construction years. To strictly manage the party in an all-round way means to take the people’s wishes as the will, take the people’s expectations as the goal, and manage and cure the party with a pure heart for the people.Ensure that the party is built into a party that truly reassures the people, satisfies the people, and allows the people to rely on it.

  Strictly administering the Party in an all-round way must uphold the people’s supremacy.

  In an exclusive interview with foreign media, Comrade Supreme Leader sincerely said: "My ruling philosophy, in a nutshell, is to serve the people and shoulder the responsibility." He also talked many times on various occasions about "establishing a people-centered work orientation", showing full feelings for the people and also highlighting the value orientation of people first. Value orientation determines people’s basic tendency and attitude towards objective things. Today, we follow the people’s direction to promote the comprehensive and strict administration of the party, and we must be in line with the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the general secretary, and solve the problem of value orientation in a down-to-earth manner.

  Serving the people wholeheartedly is the fundamental purpose of our party and the fundamental value orientation of our party. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is a faithful representative of the people’s interests, and has no special interests of its own. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s role lies in serving the people and seeking benefits for the people: serving the people and seeking benefits are more important; Serving the people and seeking benefits is less, and its role is small; If you don’t serve the people and seek benefits, it will have no effect; Violating serving the people and violating the interests of the people is to forget the initial intention of our party. In a word, the people are supreme. This is the fundamental value orientation and standard of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and it is also the fundamental value orientation and standard that every Communist party member should always adhere to. To strictly manage the Party in an all-round way, it is necessary to make the broad masses of party member cadres tighten the "master switch" of world outlook, outlook on life and values, and deeply root the people-oriented value orientation in their minds and embody it in their actions.

  Adhering to the value orientation of people first, for our party, we must always take the realization, maintenance and development of the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and the end result of all work. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee proposed to adhere to the people-centered development thought. This requires our party to properly handle the relationship between reform and development and the interests of the people in the process of reform and development, and truly achieve development for the people, development depends on the people, and development results are shared by the people. To strictly manage the Party in an all-round way, we need to deepen the reform of the Party’s construction system, so that our Party can better implement and practice the people-centered development thought, and really plan and promote reform and development from the perspective of enhancing people’s well-being and promoting people’s all-round development. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out that we should "constantly solve the most direct and realistic interests that the people are most concerned about and strive to make the people live a better life". This is the most direct purpose of planning and promoting reform and development, and it is also the goal of strictly administering the party in an all-round way.

  Adhering to the value orientation of people first means that party member cadres should adhere to party constitution’s stipulation that "the interests of the party and the people are above everything else, and personal interests are subordinate to the interests of the party and the people". This provision of party constitution is essentially a provision on party member’s basic value orientation. The overall value is higher than the individual value, and the interests of the party and the people are higher than and greater than all individual interests. This determines that party member must put the interests of the Party and the people above personal interests, and must subordinate personal interests to those of the Party and the people. Incorrect value orientation is the fundamental reason why many problems with clear boundaries between right and wrong have been confused. The reason why some cadres in party member have inflated their selfish desires and become corrupt is that they regard individual value as higher than the overall value and personal interests as higher than the interests of the Party and the people. Therefore, to strictly manage the Party in an all-round way, we must help party member cadres to straighten out the relationship between individual values and overall values, and between individual interests and the interests of the Party and the people from the fundamental values and value orientations. Only when party member cadres put the interests of the party and the people at the highest position in their hearts can they stay away from vulgar tastes, fly in the doghouse, and be open-minded, selfless and fearless in their careers; Only by putting the interests of the party and the people in the highest position in our hearts can we be courageous and stand up and make contributions when the party and the people need it.

  Strictly administering the Party in an all-round way must always maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the Party and the people.

  To follow the people’s direction, we must keep close contact with the people. The fundamental way for our party to serve the people and govern for the people is to keep close contact with the people. Without flesh-and-blood ties with the people, it is empty talk to serve the people and govern for the people, and it is also empty talk to take the people’s direction as your own direction. It is in the flesh-and-blood ties with the people that our party realizes its fundamental purpose, and at the same time shows its style of work different from that of all other political parties in the world. In reality, the problems of formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism and extravagance existing in some party member cadres all have in common that they are divorced from the people. Comrade Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "The core of the style of work is the relationship between the party and the people, and it is fundamentally to maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people."

  To strictly manage the party in an all-round way, we must solve the fundamental problem of how to strengthen the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people. In addition to strengthening the awareness of connecting with the masses from the common goal of the party and the people and the party’s fundamental value orientation, we should also prominently solve the old problem of how to always adhere to the party’s mass line under the new historical conditions.

  First of all, under the new historical conditions, we must adhere to the mass position and viewpoint of trusting and relying on the masses. In the past revolutionary war years and construction years, we need to rely on and mobilize the people closely, fight against powerful enemies with real swords and guns, and fight against all kinds of natural difficulties with bloodshed and sweat. Today, in the era of big machines and internet, modern production does not need to mobilize and organize thousands of troops in many fields; Business entities are diversified, and many fields do not need the unified organization and unified command of the party and the government as in the past. However, no matter how the situation changes, only the specific form of mobilizing and organizing the masses has changed, and the substantive requirements of relying on and mobilizing the masses have not changed. To strictly manage the party in an all-round way, we must strengthen the mass stand and viewpoint of trusting and relying on the people.

  Relying on the people, there is also a question of whether to rely on all the people or only a few people. From the era of revolutionary war to the era of reform and opening up, the party has closely relied on all the working people who account for the vast majority of the population. However, today, in the minds of individual party member cadres, there are only wealthy classes, groups and regions, because these classes, groups and regions can quickly produce figures and "achievements". However, poor classes, groups and poor areas do not have enough weight in their hearts. This not only violates the Marxist view of the masses, but also deviates from the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way today and the people-centered development thought. A well-off society in an all-round way is a well-off society that benefits all the people and strives to eliminate poverty and move towards common prosperity. To build a well-off society in an all-round way, we must rely on and mobilize all people. We should have all the people in our hearts, especially the poor classes, groups and poor areas under the current circumstances.

  Secondly, under the new historical conditions, we should adhere to the leadership methods and working methods of coming from the masses to the masses. Comrade Mao Zedong once pointed out: "In all the practical work of our party, all correct leaders must come from the masses and go to the masses." In the era of network information, the developed information provides us with many new channels and means to understand the situation of the masses and listen to their opinions. However, these new channels and means can’t replace some traditional fundamental mass work methods, especially personal visits to the poor, field visits and investigations. The demands and voices of the masses can only be understood face to face and body to body. Many important policies and measures on reform and development need to come directly from the masses. For example, at present, the whole party and the people of the whole country are very concerned about the precise poverty alleviation, and it is impossible to do a good job without one village, one household or even one person. Therefore, we must always adhere to the scientific leadership method and working method of coming from the masses to the masses at any time and under any conditions. If we give up this scientific leadership method and working method, we will be helpless and it will be difficult for our party to become a strong leadership core.

  Connecting with the masses is a question of basic standpoint and viewpoint, and it is also a question of basic emotional tendency. Lenin once called the contact between the Party and the people a "living contact" and called on the Bolsheviks to "live among a large number of people and know their feelings". Our party calls the contact between the party and the people "flesh-and-blood contact", which further highlights this emotional connection. To strictly manage the Party in an all-round way, it is necessary to enable party member cadres to truly establish flesh-and-blood feelings for the people and show their true feelings. Only in this way can we truly unite with the people, share the same breath and share the same destiny.

  We must draw infinite wisdom from the people to strictly manage the party in an all-round way.

  To follow the people’s direction, we must draw wisdom and strength from the people. The foundation and blood of the party are in the people, and the strength is also in the people. This is the greatest political advantage of our party and the fundamental reason for its development and growth. To strictly manage the Party in an all-round way, we must make good use of this political advantage. Comrade Mao Zedong initiated the great project of Party building. He pointed out that the source of the Party’s strength is the people. Comrade Deng Xiaoping initiated a new great project of Party building. He said that "many things in the reform and opening up" came from "the wisdom of the masses and the wisdom of the collective". After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the supreme leader comrade summed up the experience of governing the country and said: "The masses of the people contain the wisdom and strength to govern the country and the party, and the strict administration of the party must rely on the people".

  To draw wisdom and strength from the people and rely on the people to strictly manage the party, we must worship the people as teachers and learn everything useful from the people with an open mind. We should put down our airs and make plans and preparations to learn from the people for a long time and even for life. We should treat all opportunities to deal with the people as opportunities to learn from them, and really put ourselves in the position of "primary school students" and ask them for advice, instead of pretending to be in power or "wise men." The people have great creativity and are creating new things and experiences all the time. These new things and experiences are exactly what our party needs to govern the country and manage the party. Learning from the people requires us to respect their initiative and be good at discovering, summarizing and absorbing the new things and experiences they have created.

  Drawing wisdom and strength from the people, relying on the people to strictly manage the party, and consciously accepting the criticism and supervision of the people. At present, some party organizations listen to criticism more in economic and social development, but less in managing the party, and there is a problem that accepting people’s criticism and supervision is not in place. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the representative of the people, and the party must be criticized and supervised by the people. The people’s judgment and satisfaction are the basic standards to test the effectiveness of managing the party and the party, and they are also the driving force for managing the party and the party. Without the people’s criticism and supervision, we will turn a blind eye, and we will lose our compliance in strictly administering the party in an all-round way; Without the criticism and supervision of the people, there will be no objective evaluation and no motivation to advance if the party is strictly managed in an all-round way.

  The party comes from the people and is rooted in the people. The development and growth of the party can never be separated from the fertile soil of the people. An ancient Greek fairy tale said that a Hercules named Antai had great strength when he stood on the earth, but once his feet left the earth, he had no strength at all. This story tells us that our party can only be stronger if we always put our feet on the fertile soil of the people and always draw infinite wisdom and strength from them.

Expose food rumors: Citrus is sweetened with cyclamate.

  Sodium cyclamate, as an international food additive, will not be harmful to health as long as the intake is not over the standard. Sodium cyclamate will not make the fruit sweeter, on the contrary, it may make the shelf life of the fruit shorter.

  Recently, a WeChat WeChat official account published an article "All Taken, Soon Deleted", which introduced the situation that fruit farmers used cyclamate to sweeten oranges. Through careful compilation and editing by the producers, the article has been widely spread on the Internet, causing some consumers’ worries.

  The saying that citrus is sweetened with cyclamate is an old topic that has been repeatedly hyped. Besides citrus, the hyped fruit types involve winter dates, oranges, watermelons, cantaloupes, peaches, apples, etc. It is rumored that there are many ways to add it, such as soaking, injecting and spraying. Influenced by rumors, some consumers have doubts about the edible safety of fruits, and think that the intake of fruits with sodium cyclamate is not good for their health.

  What exactly is sodium cyclamate?

  Sodium cyclamate, whose scientific name is "sodium cyclamate", is a non-nutritive sweetener, and its sweetness is 30-mdash of sucrose; 40 times, and the price is only about 1/3 of sucrose, and it doesn’t taste bitter when used in a little amount like saccharin, so it can be used as an international food additive in foods such as drinks, fruit juice, ice cream, cakes and preserves.

  Sodium cyclamate as a food sweetener, according to the evaluation results of the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives of FAO/WHO, the daily allowable intake does not exceed 11 mg/kg body weight. Xu Weisheng, an associate researcher at the Institute of Nutrition and Health of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that in China, there are strict regulations on the approval of food additives and the limitation of the scope of use. As long as the goods purchased by consumers are regular and the sodium cyclamate intake does not exceed the standard, it will not affect health.

  Is it feasible to sweeten fruits with sodium cyclamate?

  Xu Weisheng believes that sodium cyclamate is water-soluble and insoluble in oil. Even if sodium cyclamate is sprayed on the surface of fruit during its growth, sodium cyclamate cannot enter the fruit. If the fruit is sweetened by injecting sodium cyclamate, it needs to be injected in all directions, which will cause the destruction of plant cell walls and the fruit will rot and deteriorate in a short time. It is harmful to businesses, so it is impossible to add sodium cyclamate to sweeten fruits.

  A large number of data prove that enough vegetables and fruits are beneficial to health, including weight control, antioxidant supplementation, blood lipid and blood pressure control, reducing the risk of malignant tumors, promoting and protecting intelligence, and preventing cognitive decline. Consumers should not believe in rumors, do not spread rumors, believe in scientific knowledge, and eat enough fruits.

E-commerce logistics performance is eye-catching and bright, and residents’ willingness to consume is gradually increasing.

  CCTV News:China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing announced the China e-commerce logistics index for September on October 10th. The demand for e-commerce logistics has improved significantly, the supply capacity and efficiency of e-commerce logistics enterprises have improved steadily, and many indicators have reached new highs in the year.

  In September, China’s e-commerce logistics index was 112.3 points, up 1.2 points from the previous month. The growth rate of the total business volume of e-commerce logistics turned from decline to increase. In September, the total business volume index of e-commerce logistics was 123.9 points, 2.5 points higher than the previous month, hitting a new high in the year. In terms of regions, the total business volume index in the eastern, central and northeastern regions has increased, while the total business volume index in the western region has declined.

  From the perspective of supply capacity, in September, the performance rate index and inventory turnover index increased compared with last month, and the increase rate was expanded compared with last month, and the supply capacity of e-commerce logistics enterprises increased rapidly.

  In the third quarter, e-commerce logistics rebounded in fluctuations. In September, the rebound of e-commerce logistics was more obvious, and the increase of related indexes on both sides of supply and demand further expanded.

  Liu Yuhang, Director of China Logistics Information Center:E-commerce logistics has been eye-catching and bright from September. The demand growth rate of the whole e-commerce logistics sector has maintained a state of (rapid) growth, indicating that residents’ willingness to consume has gradually increased.

  In addition, in September, the rural e-commerce logistics business volume index was 129.4 points, 2.2 points higher than that of the previous month, hitting a new high in the year. The business volume index of rural e-commerce logistics has returned to the level of 2019.

Don’t be fooled by unreliable health rumors in 2016.

  A 55-degree cup allows you to

  Drink hot water anytime, anywhere

  Rumor tracking: A variable-temperature water cup "55-degree cup", known as the drinking artifact, has become a hot topic of concern because of its magical function. Whether it is hot water or cold water, just pour it into a cup and shake it, and it can become 55-degree warm water suitable for people to drink. It is said that the water cup is a high-tech product with utility model patent, and its core lies in the function of heating and cooling through phase change materials.

  Expert Interpretation: Wu Guangheng, a researcher at the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that professional tests showed that hot water dropped to 55 degrees and cold water rose to 37 degrees. The manufacturer claims to use the "high-tech" technology of phase change metal, and according to the test report, all the metals in it will not change phase in the temperature range of daily life. Its principle is very simple, there is no high-tech material at all, but the stainless steel layer is filled with salt water, and the hot water conducts heat to the cold water. The so-called high-tech materials are actually ordinary metals.

  "Rose salt" contains trace elements.

  Natural minerals can detoxify and protect skin.

  Rumor tracking: pure natural, crystal structure, detoxification and skin care … On the Internet, "rose salt" once attracted many people’s favor. Merchants claimed that "rose salt" came from Himalaya, Pakistan and other places, containing 84 kinds of trace elements and natural minerals, without adding anti-caking agents, which is more beneficial to health than ordinary salt.

  Expert Interpretation: Yan Shichun, president of Jinan Food Industry Association, said that "rose salt" is actually a kind of crude salt, which is pink because it contains more impurities, and it does not have the health care effect claimed by merchants. There is little difference between the sodium content of "rose salt" and refined salt. The sodium content of pure salt is 39.36%, which is not much different from the sodium content of "rose salt" claimed by merchants of 38.78%. In terms of trace elements, although there are many elements such as iron and calcium in "rose salt", these elements can be obtained from daily diet, and the amount of salt people consume every day is very limited, so the trace elements in salt can’t play the role advertised by merchants. The so-called health care and other effects are just publicity gimmicks of businesses. He reminded consumers that "rose salt" should not replace ordinary salt for a long time, and should try to use iodized low sodium salt.

  Strawberry pesticide exceeded the standard by 7 times.

  Eating too much is easy to cause cancer.

  Rumor tracking: In April this year, some media reporters randomly bought 8 strawberry samples from several farmers’ markets and supermarkets in Beijing for testing. The results showed that the pesticide acetochlor in strawberries exceeded the standard, and the highest residue was 0.367 mg kg, which exceeded the standard by more than 7 times. Acetochlor is classified as a class 2B carcinogen, which may cause cancer if it is used in large quantities for a long time.

  Expert Interpretation: Yun Wuxin, a master of nutrition and food research, said that acetochlor is one of the most widely used herbicides in China. Compared with American standards, China has stricter regulations on the detection of acetochlor, which can only be detected in brown rice, corn, soybeans, peanuts and rapeseed, and the residue limit is lower. If it is really used in strawberries, it is illegal and should be severely cracked down. However, acetochlor is a kind of pre-bud-blocking herbicide, which is generally used before crops sprout, and there is generally no high residue until strawberries mature. Moreover, acetochlor will kill strawberry seedlings and affect the harvest, and it will not be used in large quantities during planting.

  Then, will eating a large number of strawberries with excessive pesticide residues for a long time be toxic and carcinogenic? According to Chinese standards, the daily allowable intake (ADI) of acetochlor is 0.02 mg/kg body weight. In the report, the highest content of acetochlor detected in strawberries is 0.367 mg/kg. If this reference value is followed, an adult weighing 50 kg will have to eat more than 2.72 kg of this strawberry every day to exceed the range. Even in Europe with stricter requirements (the European Union does not allow the use of acetochlor), the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) estimates that the ADI of acetochlor is 0.0036 mg/kg body weight, and an adult weighing 50 kg will eat 490 grams of strawberries every day to exceed this range. The cultivation of strawberries is also limited by seasons. It is unrealistic for most people to eat so many strawberries every day.

  DIY fruit ferment

  Can help you detoxify and lose weight

  Rumor tracking: Recently, many online posts titled "Homemade Fruit Enzymes Can Detoxify and Lose Weight" have been reprinted in large numbers on the Internet. According to the instructions in the net post, you can cut seven or eight kinds of fruits casually, add water and a lot of sugar, and seal and ferment for weeks or even months to get a bottle of so-called "enzyme stock solution".

  Expert Interpretation: Lv Wanyong, a senior nutritionist in China, pointed out that the essence of enzymes is actually enzymes. The enzyme is protein, which will denature or even decompose under the action of protease in gastric acid and digestive juice after oral administration, thus losing its biological activity. The method of self-made fruit enzyme is essentially a natural fermentation. However, the content of enzyme in the whole fermentation broth is very low, which can not reach the effective amount, and other components in "fruit enzyme", such as lactic acid and alcohol, as the main fermentation products, can not reach the effect of "fruit enzyme".

  Eating’ fruit enzyme’ may also cause certain harm to health. A large amount of sugar needs to be added when making homemade enzymes, which increases the sugar intake. In addition, in nature, the microbial composition on the surface of fruit is very diverse, except for yeast or lactic acid bacteria needed for fermentation, there are other microorganisms that may be harmful. A little carelessness in the production process makes the mixed bacteria grow rapidly in the fermentation process, so the "fruit enzyme" produced in this way will not only not be healthy, but will pose a threat to health.

  Rootless bean sprouts are easy to cause precocious puberty in children.

  Rumor tracking: Rootless bean sprouts refer to the rootless and tender bean sprouts produced by adding "rootless water" when bean sprouts are cultivated. The "rootless bean sprout essence" used by bean sprout producers is a hormone pesticide that can make bean sprout cells divide rapidly, and it has the same carcinogenic and teratogenic effects on human body as nitrogen fertilizer. Even if the intake of hormone drugs for human use is excessive, it will do some harm to the human body, such as precocious development of children, physiological changes of women, osteoporosis of the elderly and so on.

  Expert Interpretation: Experts pointed out that rootless bean sprouts are not only nontoxic, but also contain essential trace elements for human body. The Anti-Cancer Institute in Texas, USA and food experts in Sweden also found that bean sprouts can reduce gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer and bladder cancer. B12 in bean sprouts is 10 times higher than the original bean seeds, which is of great benefit to human nerves and liver. The scientific discovery and certification of these experts are very convincing.

  The so-called "poisonous bean sprouts" is to add "rootless water" (that is, 6- benzyl adenine and other substances) to produce rootless and tender bean sprouts. In fact, 6-BA is widely used in agriculture, fruit trees, horticulture and even crops, and has achieved good results in both yield increase and preservation. Moreover, according to China’s regulations, it can be used for the production of pollution-free fruits. The existing evidence shows that 6-BA and other plant growth regulators are safe, and the management measures of relevant departments in China can also prove their safety.

  Infant feeding should use "baby water"

  Rumor tracking: Not long ago, there appeared all kinds of strange water on the market: moon water, pregnant women’s water, baby water, etc. These waters not only have strange names, but also have ridiculously high prices, because they add more trace elements, which are more nutritious than ordinary water and more suitable for infants and pregnant women to drink.

  Expert Interpretation: Yu Liang, a member of Beijing Dietitians Association and one of the top ten national gold medal nutrition lecturers, said that the purpose of drinking water is to supplement water and a small amount of minerals. In fact, as long as it is clean and hygienic ordinary drinking water, it is enough to meet people’s daily needs, and babies are the same. Drinking water does not need to make a fuss about special people. Although pregnant women, nursing mothers, infants, students and other people during pregnancy and childbirth do need more nutrients than ordinary people, such as iron, calcium, zinc, DHA and so on. However, the amount of soluble nutrients in water is saturated, and it is almost impossible to increase the content of nutrients in water through additional addition, not to mention that DHA is a lipid and cannot be dissolved in water at all. In addition, because the intake of minerals mainly depends on food, there is no need to worry about the lack of nutrition caused by pure water with few minerals. Therefore, it is useless to make "baby water" by strengthening minerals with water.

  Eat red meat and processed meat.

  May cause cancer easily.

  Rumor tracking: The International Agency for Research on Cancer under the World Health Organization assessed the carcinogenicity of red meat and processed meat products, and issued a conclusion on October 26th, which listed processed meat products (ham, sausage, jerky and other processed meat products) as the first-class carcinogen, and considered that eating red meat (fresh red meat, that is, the meat of mammals such as cattle, sheep and pigs) may cause cancer, so it was classified as "with high carcinogenicity".

  Expert Interpretation: Barry, President of American Meat Industry Association? Carpenter said that this result "is completely unsuitable for human health and belongs to theoretical danger". Cancer is a complex disease that is not caused by a single food, and a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are essential to health.

  The WHO representative office in China responded to this statement. Regarding the carcinogenic risk of processed meat, it is actually a reaffirmation of the report submitted in 2002. The original intention is not to stop people from eating meat, but to remind people to eat meat reasonably and reduce possible dietary risks. At the same time, it is also said that the processed meat products are classified as first-class carcinogens, which only shows that "there is enough medical evidence and animal experiments to prove that it can cause cancer". In fact, the risk or ability of meat carcinogenesis is very low.

  Drinking soybean milk may lead to breast cancer.

  Rumor tracking: A 45-year-old woman bought a soymilk machine to grind soymilk by herself, and took soymilk every morning for nearly three years. Later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer in physical examination, and her estrogen level was several times that of ordinary people. The report that drinking soybean milk caused breast cancer caused people’s panic.

  Expert Interpretation: Professor Zhang Hua, former director of the Nutrition Department of the 309 Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army, said that the statement that drinking soy milk can cause breast cancer is unfounded and untenable. The so-called phytoestrogen is not a hormone, but two concepts and two substances with estrogen in human body. In fact, this estrogen-like substance exists in most plants, especially in flax seeds, food products, beans and fresh vegetables and fruits. Because people equate phytoestrogen with estrogen, it leads to the strange theory that drinking soybean milk causes cancer. Experts said that most people in Chinese like to drink soy milk or eat soy food, but the probability of women suffering from breast cancer in China is lower than that in Europe, America and other countries. Drinking soy milk or eating soy products will not actually lead to breast cancer. On the contrary, eating soy products is good for the human body.

  Bubble tea is prone to intestinal obstruction.

  Rumor tracking: In late October, a CT picture of a netizen’s stomach after drinking bubble tea was circulated on the Internet. The picture shows that after drinking bubble tea for half an hour, many undigested white dots still appear in the stomach of netizens. These dots are the "pearls" in milk tea. Because these pearls are all made of plastic, they are easy to cause gastroptosis and even intestinal obstruction if they are not digested.

  Expert Interpretation: Ruan Guangfeng, an expert from the Food and Nutrition Information Exchange Center, pointed out that the "pearl" in bubble tea is actually a round product made of starch as the main raw material, and cassava starch is commonly used. In addition, in order to have a good taste and chewiness, some wheat protein and food additives will be used. Wheat protein is a kind of protein. Except for some people who are allergic to wheat, wheat protein will not cause any harm to human body.

  All starchy foods will produce dextrin after entering the digestive tract, which is the degradation product of incomplete hydrolysis of starch. Usually, foods containing starch, such as eating bread, are gradually decomposed into dextrin and glucose after entering the digestive tract before being absorbed by the human body. Whether "pearl" can cause intestinal obstruction is related to the gastrointestinal absorption function of consumers and all foods. People with poor gastrointestinal function, such as children and the elderly, drink a lot of bubble tea, which is not only easy to cause poor gastric emptying, but also dangerous to inhale into organs. Therefore, you should chew slowly when eating, especially foods such as pearl powder balls.

  Waxing apples may cause cancer.

  Rumor tracking: Recently, a video of "Apple Waxing" spread in the circle of friends. In the video, a gloved employee smeared a reddish-brown liquid evenly on the apple, and the color of the apple was "radiant" immediately. This video has caused some people to question, and some netizens even said that eating waxed apples is easy to cause cancer.

  Expert Interpretation: Ruan Guangfeng said that waxing is allowed on the surface of fruits in China. According to the Hygienic Standard for the Use of Food Additives, morpholine fatty acid salt (also known as fruit wax) and carnauba wax can be used as coating agents on the surface of fresh fruits. Waxing looks fresher and brighter in order to prevent water loss and insect erosion during apple production and transportation. This kind of wax is a food additive, and it will not be harmful to human body if used reasonably.

  But some unscrupulous vendors will use industrial wax to save costs. The composition of industrial wax is complex, and it may contain heavy metals such as lead and mercury, which will bring risks to human health. However, this risk is potential and unknown at present. As for the carcinogenesis of waxed apples, it is completely unfounded and exaggerates the risk. Experts suggest that if you are worried about health problems, you can peel apples and eat them. If you don’t want to peel them, you can clean them reasonably.

  Vegetable oil cooking can cause cancer

  Rumor tracking: British researchers heated different kinds of cooking oils in the laboratory, and measured the content changes of aldehydes, which are "carcinogenic poisons". They concluded that cooking with vegetable oils such as corn oil or sunflower oil may lead to many diseases, including cancer, and suggested using olive oil, coconut oil, butter and even lard instead of ordinary vegetable oils.

  Expert Interpretation: Fan Zhihong, Center for Nutrition and Food Research, China Agricultural University, said that the experimental results of scientists can only show that the oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids is not suitable for frying, not a carcinogenic problem.

  First of all, the conditions used in the study are quite different from those used in ordinary home cooking. The temperature used in the experiment is 180℃, which is about 50% to 60% hot, and it can only be achieved when a large number of foods are fried at this temperature. Usually, the time for burning oil during cooking is far less than that.

  Secondly, for frying oil, China Standard [4] stipulates that the carbonyl value should not exceed 50meq/kg (mg equivalent/kg), which includes the total amount of aldehydes and ketones. It can be considered that there is no obvious adverse effect on health when the content does not exceed this limit. Considering that domestic cooking rarely fries food continuously, there is no need to worry too much. The thermal stability of butter and lard is indeed better, but it is too one-sided to choose only one factor. Frying and excessive intake of saturated fat are unhealthy diets, and reasonable cooking and balanced diet are the most important.

Decode traditional Chinese medicine

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 27th Title: Decoding Chinese Medicine

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Liang Xiangbin Zhou Ning Lu Guoqiang

  Adjusting the athlete’s state with nutritional diet, a few silver needles can relieve the muscle pain that drugs can’t get rid of … This is not a mystery. The secret of Chinese’s physical fitness lies in thousands of years of Chinese medicine.

  Nowadays, with the rapid development of modern medical technology, what role does Chinese medicine play? Xinhua News Agency reporters talked with Chen Tongyun and other famous Chinese doctors, walked into the training bases of national teams such as women’s table tennis and flower skating, and witnessed the Chinese medicine physiotherapy of world champions such as Ding Ning … and started the journey of decoding Chinese medicine.

  The homology of medicine and food: the secret of the national team’s kitchen

  At the beginning of May, in Huangshi, Hubei Province, China National Women’s Table Tennis Team was preparing for various events this year.

  As in the past, Wang Yi carefully observed the dining situation of each athlete-whenever the national team closed training, the director of the nutrition and dietotherapy department of Guang ‘anmen Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine would appear on the team as scheduled.

  The competition is approaching. In this era when athletes’ daily nutrition and calories are accurate to single digits, the dishes in restaurants are no different from those in ordinary hotels. Players such as Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen and Zhu Yuling take their meals at will just like ordinary staff.

  Ding Ning, the world champion and Olympic champion of women’s table tennis, is choosing a meal at Guoping Restaurant in Huangshi Table Tennis Training Base, Hubei Province. Xinhuanet issued Zhang Wei photo

  "She won’t rigidly limit what we can’t eat, but let us freely match among the foods we love." Ding Ning, captain of the women’s table tennis team and world champion, revealed.

  Such a "casual eating" nutritional diet can meet the requirements of high-level athletes’ training and competition? Such a question once appeared in the mind of Li Yan, president of China Skating Association and head coach of China’s short track speed skating team, but his worries were quickly dispelled: thanks to the scientific collocation of daily food, Wang Yi’s team ensured that no one caught a cold during the five weeks of preparing for the Winter Olympics in 2014, eliminating the "big worry" that affected the training quality.

  The "magic" of Chinese medicine dietotherapy is far more than that.

Li Sun, coach of China Women’s Table Tennis Team, was interviewed by Xinhua News Agency. Xinhuanet issued Peng Jiajing photo

  "During the Beijing Olympic Games, Zhang Yining sent a text message to Wang Yi during the competition, asking me to stop Yining’s sugar." Out of years of trust, Li Sun, coach of the national women’s table tennis team, immediately followed suit. Sure enough, Zhang Yining played well in the next match. "It turned out that Wang Yi was a little slow when he saw Zhang Yining’s nervous game on TV, and realized that it might be too much sugar intake."

  Due to the large amount of training and irregular life away from home, many female athletes have the problem of inaccurate physiological period, which even affects their competition results. "At first, western medicine was used, but the effect was not good. Later, nutrition diet was mainly used, and with a little medicine, the problem was solved." Li Sun said.

  "Traditional Chinese medicine’s’ homology of medicine and food’ is integrated with nutrition to produce a wonderful’ chemical reaction’." Wang Yi said, "Under the premise of people, places and times, what I want to do is to help athletes scientifically choose the types of food according to their different periods and States."

  Acupuncture and Massage: the Key to Healing for "Dancers on Ice"

  Injury is the natural enemy that every athlete has to face, but Chinese medicine always has some clever tricks to help them beat their opponents.

Shen Xue Zhao Hongbo, champion of synchronized skating in the Winter Olympics, was interviewed by Xinhua News Agency. Xinhuanet issued Li Wei photo

  In 2009, Zhao Hongbo, the world champion of figure skating, "couldn’t bend his knees" in preparation for the Olympic Games. A Chinese doctor showed Zhao Hongbo the "magic" of acupuncture. "A knee joint can be pierced with more than 20 silver needles, and there are needles on the head, and then electricity is applied." Zhao Hongbo said, "It’s like torture in movies".

  The effect was obvious. Zhao Hongbo quickly returned to the ice rink. A few months later, he and his partner Shen Xue won the first figure skating Olympic champion for China.

  This is not the first time that I have become attached to Chinese medicine. In August, 2005, Zhao Hongbo’s achilles tendon was broken. In the pessimistic argument that "it is a miracle to stand on the field again", the medical team used "almost all means" of western medicine and Chinese medicine for Zhao Hongbo. "There is a Chinese medicine prescription for soaking feet, and the effect is very good." -Just six months later, Zhao Hongbo and Shen Xue won the bronze medal in the Winter Olympics.

  No wonder some foreign athletes commented calmly: "He is badly hurt, but Chinese medicine can cure him."

Ding Ning, world champion of women’s table tennis and Olympic champion, was interviewed by Xinhua News Agency. Xinhuanet issued Peng Jiajing photo

  "I’m afraid of needles, although the doctor says needles are very effective." Ding Ning said with a smile that she would rather choose massage or massage. After the hard training of "swinging tens of thousands of times" every day, the massage of professional doctors makes "Ding Ning people" relieve fatigue and spirit.

Shang Xuedong, head of the medical team of China table tennis team, was interviewed by Xinhua News Agency. Xinhuanet issued Zhang Wei photo

  Shang Xuedong, head of the medical team of China Table Tennis Team, said confidently: "Traditional Chinese medicine has its unique features, such as sprained ankle, and external application of traditional Chinese medicine reduces swelling very quickly; Another example is muscle injury, and acupuncture and Chinese medicine can quickly relieve symptoms. "

  The curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine is not only reflected in the treatment room. On the training ground of China’s short track speed skating team, experts from Guang ‘anmen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine are feeling the pulse of the athletes who have just finished a sprint-the interval of short track speed skating competition is half an hour. The traditional blood test method is easy to interfere with the athletes, but several experts can feel the pulse separately, and they can understand the psychological and physical changes of the athletes in a few minutes, so as to adjust their tactics.

  Harmony between man and nature: the "health code" of Chinese people

  In the thousands of years without vaccines and other medicines, how can Chinese fight against epidemics?

Chiu Man-Cheuk, the image ambassador and actor of China Fitness Qigong, demonstrated the basic movements of Tai Chi. Xinhuanet issued a cloud game.

  Yu Rencun, an 83-year-old oncologist of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, is a patient with stage III intestinal cancer. "When it was discovered in 2005, there was already lymph node metastasis, which was a late stage. Chemotherapy after surgery, and a bigger operation after half a year. " Yu Rencun said that he chose several movements from Taiji Yunshou and Baduan Jinli, "Exercise when you have time", and combined with the treatment of traditional Chinese and western medicine, "patients with stage III intestinal cancer are generally prone to metastasis and recurrence in two years, and now it is 11 years, not bad."

  Chiu Man-Cheuk (second from left), the image ambassador and actor of China Fitness Qigong, instructs Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Yong (first from left) to practice Ba Duan Jin. Xinhuanet issued a cloud game.

  Chen Tong Yun, a 96-year-old national famous old Chinese doctor, got up and took the reporter to do a set of self-created body-building exercises to move the whole body joints, and when exercising by herself, she had to lift her legs up to 1500 steps. Visiting 45 patients twice a week, each time continuously, Chen Lao, who has the skills of staying in Yan, has many fixed "fans".

  "I live a happy life, never complain, and I am a contented person, so I have no gas to live." The old man told reporters that she likes to eat whole grains and is not picky about food, but she must eat on time and control her fullness at eight points. Get up on time every day and go to bed on time. "If you have a regular daily life, a moderate diet, and a good attitude, you can live to be 100 years old’ and keep moving’".

  "The formation of Chinese medicine is inseparable from nature, and it is a theory summarized from the relationship between man and nature and between man and environment. Inconsistent with nature, people will get sick. " Chen Tongyun said.

  Harmony between man and nature, harmony between righteousness and harmony, harmony and harmony, innovation and innovation … This is Chinese’s philosophy and Chinese’s health secret.

Country Garden is suspended! Executives are optimistic.

▎ The picture comes from the network.

A setting sun gradually sank into the river, half a river green and half green.

After thinking for a long time, I finally thought of the first two sentences of Bai Juyi’s "Ode to the Mujiang River", which is more appropriate to describe the property market.

▎ Image from Country Garden official website

Once an industry giant,Country Garden announced on April 2 that the stock trading was suspended.

This reminds me of the suspension of Sunac in 2022, which occurred on April 1, 2022; As for the reasons, it is because the annual performance report is "difficult to produce".

At that time, Sunac also gave a lot of reasons, such as the isolation of employees in the epidemic, the closure of the office site, and the difficulty of sealing the subsidiaries. It was not until April 13, 2023 that Sunac resumed trading.

▎ Image from Country Garden official website

On the other hand, Country Garden did not find a reason, and the board of senior management also believed that the suspension of trading would not have a real impact on the company’s operation and production.

Obviously,The optimism of Country Garden’s board of directors is hardly convincing..

Corresponding to the "Suspension Announcement" is another announcement issued by Country Garden on April 2: Unaudited operation data in March 2024, which states:In March 2024, the contracted sales amount of shareholders’ equity attributable to the Company in a single month was about 4.3 billion yuan, and the contracted sales floor area was about 450,000 square meters.

The author looked through the data of the same period in March 2023: in March 2023, the contracted sales amount was about 25.01 billion yuan, and the contracted sales construction area was about 3.02 million square meters.

▎ Image from Country Garden official website

That is to say,In the property market "Xiaoyangchun" in March 2024, Country Garden’s performance declined by about 82.8%.This is no small matter for a developer who was once famous for "high turnover" and was burdened with over 1.3 trillion debts.

China Consumers Association released the hot spot of consumer rights protection in the first half of 2023.

  CCTV News:According to the website of China Consumers Association, in the first half of the year, consumer demand such as holiday shopping and travel continued to be released, and the regulatory authorities created a safe and secure consumption environment to boost consumer confidence. How to ensure the protection of consumers’ rights and interests in the colorful consumption experience has become the focus of public concern.

  The China Consumers Association, People’s Daily Public Opinion Data Center and China Consumer Magazine jointly found that in the first half of 2023, the offline performance was "difficult to refund", the hotel B&B broke the contract infringement dispute, the hidden dangers of food safety problems of well-known catering brands, the poor service experience of video platform members, the infringement "trap" of research tour, the Carrefour supermarket shopping card restricted consumption, the air mileage points were cleared, and the online celebrity bamboo tube milk tea was exposed.

  First, there is a dispute about "difficulty in refunding tickets" for offline performances.

  Social influence: 95.4

  Topic analysis

  In the first half of the year, many consumers reported that they encountered problems such as "difficulty in refunding tickets" during the consumption of offline performances. Consumers complained that barley net, Fanwan Island and other well-known ticketing platforms had unreasonable measures to change their tickets and refund tickets, and topics such as "Why are concerts being refunded" were once on the hot search list of social platforms. Some public opinion has questioned that some organizers and ticketing platforms have taken measures such as real-name registration system to crack down on scalpers, but they have not matched the perfect after-sales service, and have passed on the business risks and costs to consumers, which is contrary to the original intention of protecting consumers’ rights and interests.

  In related disputes, some ticketing platforms responded with the rhetoric that "the cultural services carried behind the tickets are characterized by timeliness and scarcity, and once the tickets are refunded, the secondary sales will be affected", but it has not been recognized by the public. Many consumers believe that tickets sold in the aviation, railway and film industries also have such characteristics, and relevant industries have introduced specific measures or actively supported the "return and change of tickets". All parties in the offline performance industry should actively refer to the experience of such industries and properly solve the infringement concerns when the offline performance market is hot.

  Second, the hotel B&B was exposed to many infringement disputes.

  Social influence: 90.4

  Topic analysis

  Before and after the May 1 holiday, the "price increase and breach of contract" of hotel homestays caused public concern, and many consumers reported that the accommodation link became a bad experience in their journey. "Women’s booking in February is approaching ‘ May Day ’ Cancelled order ""B&B ‘ May Day ’ In hot topics such as lying about being seized because of prostitution for price increase, consumers claimed that they encountered infringement disputes such as "breach of contract" by hotel operators and booking platforms during their holiday trips.

  In fact, consumers have a certain psychological tolerance for the moderate increase in the price of holiday hotels. Consumers’ disappointment mainly stems from the fact that at the moment when the enthusiasm for traveling is high, the accommodation service that welcomes consumers is not based on more standardized management and more personalized experience. On the contrary, the merchants disregard consumers’ rights and interests for economic benefits, and they violate the contract with tricks, which undoubtedly "pours cold water" on consumers’ enthusiasm. Some consumers have questioned that some platforms are not sound enough to punish businesses for breach of contract, which leads businesses to dare to ignore consumer rights. Public opinion appeals that all parties in the hotel and lodging industry should show "sincerity" and actively change the status quo that infringement problems frequently appear during holidays.

  Third, well-known catering brands are exposed to food safety problems.

  Social influence: 86.5

  Topic analysis

  During the "March 15th" this year, in such incidents as "the blue frog in online celebrity restaurant was exposed and the kitchen was chaotic", "the meal was retrieved from the demon trash can for a long time and served to customers" and "43 cockroaches were found after Yoshinoya’s eating", the food safety problems of well-known catering brands were exposed and caused heated discussion among netizens. Many consumers called "the professional ethics of the merchants dare not compliment", "various routines make consumers lose trust" and "How many restaurants can withstand the investigation".

  In this kind of incident, how to improve supervision and let consumers "buy with peace of mind and eat with peace of mind" in the food field has become the focus of public opinion. Some brands take well-made meals and high-quality ingredients as their selling points, and attract consumers to "pay the bill" through various marketing means. However, there may still be food safety problems that infringe on consumers’ rights and interests under their carefully created brands. Once such hidden dangers are exposed, not only the brand reputation of the enterprises involved will be lost, but also the overall image of the catering industry will be affected. Public opinion believes that standardizing online and offline interconnected catering brands and stores has put forward higher requirements for regulatory means. To protect consumers’ "safety on the tip of the tongue", we can’t always rely on "undercover" exposure, and to make supervision more "sensitive" requires exploring various paths.

  Fourth, the video platform membership service is "discounted"

  Social influence: 85

  Topic analysis

  At the beginning of this year, many members of the video platform complained about their bad consumption experiences on social platforms, including limiting the number of login devices and the definition of screen projection, etc. Some consumers thought that some practices of the video platform were suspected of infringing consumers’ rights and interests. For example, some consumers who claimed to be "seven-year-old fans" of iQiyi took Aiqiyi to court for "unilaterally changing the terms of the contract, which constituted a breach of contract". Some consumers also said that in recent years, the membership fees of video platforms such as Youku, iQiyi and Tencent Video have been rising, but the rights and interests of members have been discounted, accusing the video platform of "coercive price increase" and criticizing the video platform for "eating ugly".

  Public opinion believes that in the fiercely competitive market environment, video platform operators can’t pass on all the pressure to consumers under various pretexts, or even "generate income" at the expense of consumers’ consumption experience. When some conventional services force consumers to pay the bill, it will inevitably lead people to question their formulation of the "overlord clause"; At the same time, when the video platform takes relevant measures to limit the reselling and dismantling of accounts, it should also avoid "accidentally hurting" the basic rights and interests of consumers. Public opinion appeals that the video platform should adopt a responsible business model in its operation, and sincerely provide thoughtful services for its members and users.

  Fifth, the infringement of the study tour is frequent.

  Social influence: 84.8

  Topic analysis

  During this year’s small holiday and summer vacation, the infringement problem in the consumption of study tours has attracted attention. Topics such as "Parents exposed their children to participate in research tours and were scolded by instructors", "Some research tours did not study" and "10,000 yuan of Qingbei research became a photo punch at the school gate" frequently appeared on the online hot search list. In this kind of incident, parents expect their children to broaden their horizons and improve their literacy through educational research tours, and they will not hesitate to pay high fees to sign up for various "research camps" for their children. However, they have encountered problems such as improper goods, mere formality and high prices. Some research projects have even been found to have problems such as inadequate security risks and staff punishing students. Many chaos makes parents and students "come on the spur of the moment and return home disappointed", which also makes many parents flinch.

  In this kind of incident, some research institutions blurred the key information during publicity, which made parents misunderstand the real situation. There are also some institutions that "bury traps" in contracts. Once an accident occurs, they will shift the responsibility to insurance companies, individual students and even parents, which leads some parents to fall into a situation of "difficult rights protection". Public opinion calls for strengthening the standardized guidance of the "study tour" industry, promoting the survival of the fittest in the industry on the basis of protecting consumers’ rights and interests, and giving students and parents more choices, so as to achieve a win-win situation between operators and consumers.

  Six, Carrefour shopping card to limit consumption

  Social influence: 80.4

  Topic analysis

  At the beginning of January, the media reported that "Carrefour shopping card settlement is limited" was reported in Beijing, Shenyang, Kunming, Wuxi and other places. A large number of consumers said that they were restricted when paying with shopping cards after Carrefour shopping, which aroused widespread concern in society. Some consumers said that in the past, Carrefour’s shopping card could be used to pay for all goods, but now only a small number of goods can be paid by shopping card, which is suspected to be related to the operating difficulties of many Carrefour stores.

  Public opinion believes that the incident exposed hidden dangers such as "low illegal cost of card issuers", which led to infringement problems. According to some media surveys, from the model texts of card purchase agreements in Beijing, Jiangsu and other places, the liability for breach of contract is limited to returning the balance of the gift card, and there is little agreement to pay liquidated damages to the defaulting party. This objectively leads to the situation that the illegal cost of the card issuer is too low, and it is difficult to properly solve the consumer dispute.

  Seven, the clearing of air mileage points caused consumer dissatisfaction.

  Social influence: 74.8

  Topic analysis

  On June 18th, Hu Bing, an actor, posted a video on social platforms, saying that her accumulated 500,000 China Eastern Airlines mileage points suddenly became invalid, and questioned the airline’s reminder service. For a while, topics such as airline points redemption, points invalidation, and points service have sparked heated discussions. Hu Bing’s experience is not a unique case, but a major factor that promotes the hot topic of the event. According to the media, there have been many similar complaints against other airlines before, and the problem of "clearing points" not only exists in the civil aviation field, but also involves hotels, restaurants, e-commerce and other fields.

  Public opinion believes that the hidden dangers of infringement on members’ consumption points have long existed. On the one hand, some consumers think that the consumption points are only the benefits attached by the merchants, and they don’t pay attention to this right, and they don’t know it when their rights are damaged. On the other hand, consumers are relatively passive compared with merchants, and there is not much bargaining space in the rules of consumption points. Consumers can only "bargain" with customer service when safeguarding their own rights and interests, and it is difficult to obtain an ideal solution. Public opinion appeals that when making points into value-added services to improve users’ stickiness, businesses should show enough sincerity in setting conditions such as deduction of points, redemption of prizes, and time limit for using points, instead of just using this as a gimmick to increase new users. When consumers want to redeem points and benefits, they can’t set up many obstacles, causing infringement disputes such as "difficulty in redemption".

  Eight, the shared charging treasure is accused of "good borrowing is difficult to repay"

  Social influence: 74

  Topic analysis

  In recent years, with the continuous expansion of user scale and usage scenarios, problems such as unreasonable charging, low charging efficiency, easy borrowing and bad repayment, charging after returning, forcing false advertisements, and obtaining personal information beyond the limit have become consumers’ "slots", and "charging treasure assassins" have repeatedly appeared on the online hot search list, and related consumer rights protection incidents have attracted public attention. If a consumer spits out that in order to return the "street electricity" shared charging treasure, he actually spent more than 100 yuan on oil to drive to the original place to return it; Some consumers said that they borrowed a "search electricity" shared charging treasure, and after returning it on time, they found that they were still deducted in the early morning of the next day and felt "wronged"; Some consumers said that the "monster charging" charging treasure rented in different locations was three times more expensive than borrowing it for three hours, questioning the "pricing mystery" of charging treasure.

  In related disputes, compared with operating companies, consumers are often in a weak position. In the process of safeguarding rights, they need to negotiate and communicate with operating companies many times, which takes time and effort to recover losses, and sometimes they are delayed, shirked and even deadlocked by operating companies. In addition, some consumers may fail to detect the wrong deduction of fees or privacy disclosure in time, resulting in damage to their rights and interests without knowing it. Public opinion believes that solving the current situation of frequent problems in the shared charging treasure industry requires the participation of all parties and joint management. In addition to clearly marking the price and other matters, enterprises also need to clearly indicate the consumer complaint feedback channels to improve the efficiency of consumer dispute resolution.

  Nine, online celebrity bamboo milk tea was exposed to food safety issues

  Social influence: 73.7

  Topic analysis

  "Bamboo milk tea" is a new product in online celebrity in the second quarter of this year. However, controversial issues related to it are also emerging on social platforms. Some consumers have reported that the "bamboo milk tea" sold by some merchants is not only expensive, but also tastes worse than expected, and even there are food safety hazards. If a netizen sends a video exposure, a tea shop in Tangqi Scenic Area in Hangzhou "cleans the moldy bamboo tube and prepares it for milk tea"; Some media exposed that the bamboo tubes of the bamboo tube milk tea shop in Nanjing Confucius Temple Scenic Area were directly labeled and sold to customers without disinfection, infringing on consumers’ right to safety and security.

  In the highly competitive new tea market, "bamboo tube milk tea" is a marketing attempt made by merchants to conform to the trend of "face value economy", and its popularity shows that this kind of product has a side that suits consumers’ preferences. However, frequent disputes show that the internal quality of this product is still difficult to satisfy the public. Public opinion calls for businesses not to trample on the "red line" of food safety in pursuit of profits, and relevant departments should continue to strictly supervise such "online celebrity" products to effectively protect consumers’ rights and interests.

  Ten, low-cost tour groups hidden compulsory shopping problem.

  Social influence: 64.3

  Topic analysis

  On June 4th, some netizens posted videos on social platforms. A female tour guide of a tour group in Yunnan forced tourists to buy goods, and satirized the dissatisfied tourists for being "indifferent, selfish and shameless", and the low-cost tour "forced consumption" infringed on consumers’ rights and interests, which caused heated public opinion. In addition, some media surveys have found that there are many chaotic phenomena such as "changing the itinerary at will", "killing customers", "compulsory shopping" and "tourists being stranded" in the low-cost tour groups for the elderly launched by some travel agencies.

  Some consumers said that the problem of infringing on consumers’ rights and interests, such as low-cost group compulsory shopping, has become a "chronic disease" mainly because tourism, as an experiential consumption, can only judge its advantages and disadvantages after experience, which makes it difficult to safeguard rights. Especially after disputes arise, travel agencies often hinder consumers’ complaints on the grounds that the specific itinerary details, the number of shopping spots and the length of stay are not agreed in the contract. Public opinion appeals that during key periods such as holidays, relevant departments should pay more attention to consumers’ complaints and reports about violations of consumers’ rights and interests by low-cost tours, and accurately crack down on illegal activities such as deceiving registration, concealing rules, and compulsory shopping, so as to eliminate "black-hearted merchants" who do not live up to their names, ensure the normal order of the tourism market, and let tourists enjoy a comfortable journey.

  On the whole, all parties in the industry are actively exploring various measures to improve the consumer experience, but it also exposes many potential risks of infringement. First, some businesses or platforms have inadequate rights and interests protection measures, which are inconsistent with the actual needs, resulting in some safeguards not being effective, or forming new rights protection difficulties and lacking "sincerity". Second, when some operators carry out online celebrity marketing, they only pay attention to the appearance of commodity packaging and the flow of brand communication, but ignore the inherent quality assurance of products, which has become an IQ tax that consumers dislike. Third, practitioners in some industries take advantage of consumers’ pursuit of "good quality and low price" to "cheat consumers" by sacrificing service quality and even infringing on consumers’ rights and interests, which leads to constant controversy. At the moment of promoting the sustained recovery of consumption, it is expected that all parties in the industry will take the protection of consumers’ rights and interests as an important part of their long-term planning in the subsequent development, taking into account their own interests and the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and completely change the frequent and high-incidence situation of infringement problems in some fields.
