　　How much does the kidney work every day?

　　Chen Min, chief physician of Department of Nephrology, Peking University First Hospital, and deputy director of Peking University Institute of Nephrology: The human body has two kidneys, which are located on both sides of the spine and are about the size of a fist. The "blood filtration project" needs 1.7 million to 2.4 million nephrons. Nephron consists of renal corpuscle and renal tubule, and renal corpuscle includes glomerulus and renal capsule. During the day and night, human blood has to be sieved by the kidney for 40~50 times to ensure that the waste produced by metabolism is excreted in time, and the workload is very heavy.

　　The kidney filters about 1.2 liters of blood per minute, accounting for about 24% of the cardiac output. When the blood enters the kidney, the glomerulus filters out substances such as water in the plasma; The filtered substances enter the renal capsule to form protourine, but useful components such as protein, amino acids and sugar remain. After the renal tubule "receives" the original urine, it reabsorbs the useful components, and at the same time discharges the hydrogen ions and ammonia ions that are not needed by the human body to form urine. In this process, nephron maintains the balance of water and electrolyte.

　　In addition to these, the kidney also participates in endocrine regulation, which can release a variety of hormones, such as renin, prostaglandin and erythropoietin, which can help regulate blood pressure, promote the metabolism of active vitamin D, maintain normal bone metabolism and regulate the production of red blood cells.

　　Do four things well to prevent renal failure

　　Chen Min, chief physician of Department of Nephrology, Peking University First Hospital, and deputy director of Peking University Institute of Nephrology: The onset of renal diseases is hidden and difficult to detect. If early detection and early intervention can significantly reduce the complications of patients and significantly improve the survival rate. Patients with diabetes and hypertension are the most high-risk groups of renal diseases. In addition to actively controlling blood sugar and blood pressure, such people need to pay attention to renal function regularly and regularly detect urinary protein levels and serum creatinine levels. Even healthy people should do the following to care for delicate kidneys.

　　Don’t overeat. Eating too much food at one time will not only increase the burden on the digestive system in a short time, but also produce too much metabolic waste and increase the burden on the kidneys. Long-term overeating can also induce hypertension, diabetes, etc., which will lead to secondary nephropathy. It is suggested to eat some fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples properly, which is beneficial to kidney health.

　　Avoid repeated dehydration. Repeated dehydration caused by high temperature environment is related to the increased risk of chronic renal damage. During dehydration, the secretion of angiotensin and antidiuretic hormone increases, renal blood vessels contract and urine is concentrated. If you don’t replenish water in time, dehydration will be serious and blood volume will be insufficient, which will lead to kidney hypoxia and blood flow reduction, and eventually lead to kidney damage.

　　Pay attention to the urine situation. The most intuitive manifestation of kidney problems is urine changes, such as obvious deepening of color, obvious foam and sudden increase of nocturia. In these cases, you should seek medical attention in time, especially those who are accompanied by obvious weight gain and edema, and are likely to have kidney disease.

　　Pay attention to regular physical examination. People aged 45 and above have to undergo physical examination every year. Those who have a family history of kidney disease, or have a history of diabetes, hypertension, proteinuria and gout, and often take antibiotics and nephrotoxic Chinese medicines, it is best to check once every six months to be alert to renal failure.

　　Soaking feet at nine o’clock in the evening is the best way to protect the kidney.

　　Jiang Haitao, Deputy Chief Physician, Department of Cardiology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine: It is most appropriate to soak your feet in warm water from 9: 00 pm to 11: 00 pm, which can attract our spirit to the lower limbs. Spirit plays a leading role in qi and blood, and qi and blood will descend if you concentrate on it. For some mental workers, it is very useful for the spirit of qi and blood to descend, because after thinking about the problem for a day, the spirit is concentrated on it, and the brain is more excited, so it is more difficult to fall asleep at night. After soaking feet in warm water, the spirit and qi and blood are easier to return, that is, to return to their base camp, and the kidney dominates the storage of essence, so it is the kidney that is replenished after collection.

　　The kidney meridian of human body starts from the first step. After soaking feet in warm water, it plays a warming role and is a benign stimulus to the kidney meridian, which will naturally play a good role in the kidney. Therefore, although no measures have been taken for the kidney, the meridian can also play a role in tonifying the kidney.

　　It should be noted that the water temperature of soaking feet must be moderate, not too hot or too cold. If the water temperature is too hot, it will not help the kidney to collect, but will make people more excited, thus increasing the consumption of kidney essence; If the water is too cold and cold, the meridians will be blocked, and the cold will enter the abdomen along the meridians, and its harm is self-evident.

　　These two conditions can cause acute renal failure.

　　1. excessive exercise. Men Wenjin, Deputy Chief Physician, Department of Nephrology, beijing jishuitan hospital: Excessive exercise may lead to acute renal failure. This is because sudden strenuous exercise is likely to cause muscle injury, which will lead to rhabdomyolysis, and then lead to the increase of myoglobin. Myosin itself will also be decomposed into nephrotoxic components in the body, which will cause further damage to renal tubules and lead to acute renal failure.

　　The common causes of soy sauce color are rhabdomyolysis and urinary system infection. It is normal to cause muscle damage during exercise, but excessive exercise causes rhabdomyolysis, myoglobin in cells enters the blood, and urine will show an abnormal dark brown color. Myoglobin is dissolved too much, which can not be discharged quickly, causing blockage in the kidney, which will lead to acute renal failure.

　　2. High voltage electric shock. Dr. Wang Bo, Emergency Department of Changping District Hospital, Beijing: High-voltage electric injuries often burn large areas of muscles, even involving bones, with large fluid loss, which is more prone to shock than general thermal burns. In addition, a large amount of hemoglobin and myoglobin are released, resulting in severe hemoglobinuria and myoglobinuria, which will lead to acute renal failure. Severe acute renal failure often requires hemodialysis according to the condition.

　　Eight signals indicate that the kidney is ill.

　　Lun Lide, Director of Nephrology Department of Air Force General Hospital: 1. Eyelid or lower limb edema: The kidney will lead to the impairment of water and electrolyte regulation function, causing the increase of water and sodium in the body, and water often accumulates in the loosest tissue or the lowest part of the body, such as eyelids or lower limbs.

　　2. Headache, fatigue, memory loss, poor sleep: Nephropathy is characterized by headache, fatigue, memory loss, poor sleep, etc., mostly caused by hypertension, especially young people who have unexplained blood pressure rise should be alert to kidney diseases.

　　3. Foamed urine: When the protein and urine sugar in urine increase, foamed urine can appear, and there is a fine foam floating on the surface of urine, which is not easy to disappear. You should be alert to proteinuria; If the bubble is large and disappears very quickly, we should be alert to whether the urine sugar rises.

　　4. Changes in urine volume: Normal people’s metabolism is slow after falling asleep, and nocturia is significantly less than that during the day. They should not urinate at night or only pass once, and the nocturia is about 1/4 ~ 1/3 of the total amount in 24 hours. If it is often more than 2 times, nocturia is more than that during the day, which may indicate renal insufficiency.

　　5. Abnormal urine test: If protein or occult blood is positive in routine urine test, it may be asymptomatic proteinuria or asymptomatic hematuria, and urine protein quantification or urine phase microscopy should be done in time.

　　6. Complications with other diseases: Many diseases are prone to kidney damage, such as hypertension, diabetes, gout and polycystic kidney disease. Patients with these diseases should have regular urine tests.

　　7. Anemia: Patients with chronic renal insufficiency above moderate degree often have anemia, fatigue, dizziness, pallor and other symptoms, which is often caused by renal insufficiency leading to decreased secretion of erythropoietin by the kidney. Therefore, in the case of unexplained anemia, besides considering blood system diseases, we should check whether there is kidney disease.

　　8. Loss of appetite: Patients with early uremia often have symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea and itchy skin. Therefore, patients with these symptoms, especially those with hypertension and anemia, must check their renal function.

　　What needs to be emphasized here is that low back pain is not necessarily kidney disease. Low back pain, which people often say, refers to the pain of the whole back and even the lumbosacral part. There is no sensory nerve distribution in the renal parenchyma, so it is painless, and the pain in the renal area that patients feel is mostly caused by the involvement of renal capsule, ureter and renal pelvis. Some patients with nephritis and nephrotic syndrome only have slight discomfort in the waist and feel sore, and rarely have obvious low back pain.

On March 6th, HarmonyOS Zhixing’s two high-profile models, the 2025 model and the official opening of the pre-sale, set off a boom in the automobile market. Among them, in 2025, the pre-sale price of the M9 for the border is 478,000 yuan, and that of the M8 for the border is 368,000 yuan. It is reported that the 2025 M9 will be listed in shock this month, and the M8 is scheduled to officially meet with consumers in April.

Wenjie M8 is positioned as "flagship SUV of family wisdom", with a wheelbase of 3105mm, which is only 5mm shorter than Wenjie M9, the same as the wheelbase, and the body size is close to it. It is available in two versions, 5-seat version and 6-seat version, to meet the travel needs of different families. Judging from the pre-sale price, the M-8 card in Wenjie fills the gap between the M-9 card and the M-9 card in Wenjie, further improves the product matrix of HarmonyOS Zhixing, and enters the high-end SUV market of new energy together with the M-9 card in 2025. In terms of power, M8 will simultaneously introduce two power forms: extended range and pure electricity. The extended range version is equipped with a range extender with a power of 1.5T and 118kW, and uses a driving motor with the front 165kW and the rear 227kW. The maximum speed is 200km/h, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

The 2025 model M9 was declared in February this year, including plug-in extended range and pure electric power, and equipped with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited ternary lithium-ion battery. This change has been upgraded in terms of intelligent driving hardware, which further enhances the intelligent driving ability and brings users a more advanced travel experience. It is worth mentioning that HarmonyOS Zhixing also provides optional original hardware upgrade scheme for the owners of the current M9 model, and at the same time, the current model will continue to upgrade the software features of OTA, so that the old car owners can also enjoy the constantly upgraded service. Externally, the 2025 model M9 adds the color of Jinrui red, which is more unique and distinguished. In terms of seats, 5-seat version and 6-seat version are available for consumers to choose freely. In addition, the new car is also equipped with ten black technologies, such as Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving, Xuanwu hard-core body, Huawei Turing platform and intelligent privacy windows, etc., to improve the performance and quality of vehicles in all directions.

After the pre-sale was opened, the market response of the two models was extremely enthusiastic. Wen Jie M9 2025 pre-sale 6 hours small order over 11000 units; The pre-sale price of the M8 started from 368,000 yuan, and the small order exceeded 21,000 units in 6 hours, and the small order exceeded 7,500 units in 1 hour after the opening of the reservation, showing consumers’ high recognition and expectation for these two new cars.

Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, chairman of BG, and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, said that the launch of the M8 and the M9 in 2025 is another important layout of HarmonyOS Zhixing in the field of new energy vehicles. With the advantages of Huawei’s full-stack technology, ever-changing luxury space, all-dimensional safety and more personalized selection, these two models are expected to stand out in the highly competitive new energy vehicle market and bring consumers better and smarter travel choices.

Judging from the market competition pattern, there are relatively few participants in the 400,000-class hybrid SUV market, and the external competing products of M8 are mainly L9. According to the analysis of Ping An Securities Research Report, the expansion trend of the extended-range market is clear, and the customer M8 is expected to replicate the successful experience of the customer M9, accept the sinking market bonus of the customer M9, and become an explosion-proof vehicle of 400,000 yuan. It is estimated that the steady-state monthly sales of the customer M8 will reach about 15,000 vehicles. In the 500,000-class SUV market in 2025, with its continuous product upgrade and technical advantages, it is expected to continue the brilliant achievement of the 500,000-class sales champion for 11 consecutive months.

With the opening of the pre-sale of the 2025 model, the layout of HarmonyOS Zhixing in the new energy vehicle market is more perfect and the product matrix is more abundant. The listing of these two new cars will bring more quality choices to consumers, and their performance in the market in the future is worth looking forward to.

　　Original title: Why are there many industrial and commercial halls in Chongwai area?

　　The traffic location is convenient for businessmen.

　　According to the Records of Place Names in Chongwen District, there are 154 halls in Old Chongwen District. Although some of them are called fellow country halls, they are actually industry or industrial and commercial halls. There are not many halls that really serve the literati who came to Beijing to take the exam. There are only two halls, Jizhou Trial Hall and Zunhua Trial Hall, which are called trial halls, which are different from other halls.

Linfen Guild Hall, located in Ximaochang Street, is more than 400 years old, and was jointly built by five elements merchants in Linfen, Shanxi.

　　Historically, Shanxi businessmen and Shandong businessmen once dominated Beijing’s economy. Lu ‘an Guild Hall, which was once located in the south of Guangqumen Inner Street Road (now around Anhua Building), was built by Shanxi merchants who engaged in copper, iron, tin and carbon. In the old days, the hardware industry regarded the old gentleman in Taishang as the industry god, so there was an old gentleman hall dedicated to the old gentleman in Taishang in the guild hall. According to historical data, Lu ‘an Guild Hall appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and it grew from small to large, becoming one of the great guilds in Beijing. The "Monument" in the hall in 1920 said: "There was a Shenlu Temple in the old Lu County Hall, and the room outside the courtyard was the tomb of Lu people. For example, offering sacrifices to the meeting, raising the life and stopping the coffin, to the managers of the three gangs of copper, iron and tobacco bags for the county people. " Lu ‘an Guild Hall has the Laojun Temple and the altar for offering sacrifices to the furnace god, because the hardware industry can’t do without smelting furnace, so it is natural to offer sacrifices to the furnace god in the Guild Hall, and the old place name of the Guild Hall was called the furnace holy temple.

　　Shanxi Linfen Guild Hall was established by Shanxi merchants, and Shanxi pigment merchants also built another pigment guild hall in Qingyun Hutong. Pigment is not a concept in the old days, it includes many building materials and daily necessities, and it is a big industry. According to the data of Beijing’s economic history, "the cover of the paint shop is a flower stick, which is more than a foot long. Generally, it is painted in five colors: red, yellow, black, green and blue, decorated with golden flowers and painted with golden paths". This kind of flower stick, also known as the Five Flower Stick, is said to be specially designed to beat the emperor who fainted, and Emperor Yangdi was killed by the Five Flower Stick. Later, the five-flower stick became the symbol of the paint shop. "This kind of cover is always hung, not if other shops hang it early and later, it is intended to be the monarch of Yongzhen."

　　The pigment shop also sells all kinds of waxes, such as Jingyang Yellow Wax and Sichuan White Wax. In the years when there was no electric light, wax was mostly used for urban residents’ lighting, and wax was still a sacrificial object. When they got married, they were called "wedding night", and some scholars "read by candlelight at night", and candles were wax.

　　Linxiang Guild Hall, located in the eastern city of Chongwai, is also related to Shanxi merchants. It was established by Xiangling merchants in Linfen.

　　Cixi Guild Hall was established by a clothing merchant in Cixi, Zhejiang. Garment shops are shops that process, customize and sell garments. In 1923, there were 84 garment shops in Beijing. Shanxi cloth merchants built Jinyi Guild Hall in Xiaojiang Hutong, which was also called "Cloth Guild Hall" because it was built by cloth merchants among Shanxi merchants. According to "Atlas of China Cultural Relics", by the time of the Republic of China, Jinyi Guild Hall was no longer used as a cloth business meeting, but as a place for people from Yicheng, Shanxi Province to reunite in Beijing, and also provided free living services for people who went to Beijing temporarily. In 2011, Jinyi Hall became a part of Liu Laogen Hall.

　　In addition, Fujian paper merchants built Yanshao Guild Hall in Chongwai, while Yuanning Guild Hall was funded by Jiangsu silk merchants.

　　There are many historical reasons for "worshipping foreign countries" industries and industrial and commercial halls. Since the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Canal was cut in two due to the construction of the outer city. "The soil is getting higher and higher, and the boat can’t reach it." The pier of Jishuitan can’t be used anymore, and the terminal pier of the Grand Canal was changed under the Datong Bridge in Dongbianmen, not far from Chongwenmen. In addition to water transport vessels, there are many merchant ships at Datong Bridge Wharf. Merchants often unload ships here. Besides building warehouses and warehouses in Chongwai, they also build industrial and commercial halls. They live in the halls to facilitate business.

　　Since the Ming Dynasty, Chongwenmen has been a very important tax gate. At the end of Qing Dynasty, Prince Su once supervised Chongwenmen’s tax gate. He honored the collected taxes to "Lafayette" and became Cixi’s "rouge money" for her to squander at will. It is said that many of Beijing’s "official residences" were built by her with uncountable rouge money, and she profited a lot from them, which shows that the amount of tariffs and taxes in Chongwenmen is large. After paying taxes, most businessmen live in Chongwai area nearby. They don’t live in chicken feather shops, but prefer private residences. Of course, the most convenient place is the clubhouse built by peers. As a result, it is normal that there are many industrial and commercial and trade halls in Chongwai area.

　　In addition, Chongwai area is the hometown of handicraft industry in history, and all kinds of products have become the source of goods for merchants from all walks of life. Vendors from all over the world bargain and discuss business here. Merchants will build some halls in Chongwai nearby. Although some halls are nominally literati test halls, the imperial examination is held once every three years, and people in the industrial and commercial circles mainly live in them on weekdays. It is natural that there are many industrial and commercial halls in Chongwai Hall.

　　Handicraft developed and business prospered.

　　There are many industrial and commercial halls in Chongwai area, which has a lot to do with the development of handicrafts here. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, in addition to many small weaving factories, hosiery factories, hemp rope factories and towel factories, handicrafts such as paper, silk, paper and flower, filigree inlay, cloisonne, ivory carving and feeder have been worshiped abroad, especially around Huashi Street, where they have grown and developed, leaving an unforgettable page.

　　In the 1920s, Beijing Practical Guide made statistics on handicraft workshops and shops in Chongwai area. For example, there are 9 Cui Hua Bureau (making glass jadeite); There are 18 paper flower shops, most of which are in the flower market. There are 13 hemp rope shops, 14 hemp shops and 4 official hemp shops. Chongwenmen was the gate of liquor import and export in history. There was a great demand for wine baskets in that year, and there were as many as 13 shops buying and selling wine baskets in Chongwai area. Interestingly, the shops that buy and sell shoulder poles are also concentrated in the flower market area, with 8 shops. There are 6 feeder shops, and all the mirrors in Beijing are laid in four flower markets, totaling 11.

　　In 2008, Donghuashi Street also made statistics on the shops and workshops in Donghuashi Street in the 1940s, and made the brand "Flower Market Store Directory". There are more than 300 shops recorded in the store directory, mainly Donghuashi Street, excluding Xihuashi Street and the surrounding hutongs, among which there are four paper flower velvet flower shops, and the velvet silk flower Trade Association is also in this street, with one feeder, one silk cutter, one inlay and one enamel shop (workshop) each.

　　The flower market is famous for its flowers, but the flowers here are not flowers, but velvet flowers, silk flower flowers and paper flowers, which are called "Beijing flowers". "Jinghua" was once an indispensable ornament for Beijingers, especially decades ago, middle-aged and elderly women wore bright red velvet flowers on their heads during the Chinese New Year holiday, which was very festive from a distance. Flowers bloom for a short time in the north, and there are seasonal restrictions. People who love beauty decorate the environment with silk flower and put silk flower in a vase to make the room full of spring scenery. As for paper flowers, wreaths are mainly made, and all kinds of flowers have their own uses. The "Jinghua" industry was once very prosperous. According to the "Overview of Industry and Commerce in Beiping", in old Beijing, "there are more than 1,000 flower growers in various markets and homes."

　　The "Jinghua" workshop in the flower market generally does not do all the work, but has a clear division of labor. Some specialize in flowers, some in pistils, some in leaves, and some people or workshops assemble them into finished flowers. "Every morning, thousands of people gather in the flower market to display their products in the market". In addition to retail, larger stalls and "Flower Village" run wholesale and sell "Jinghua" to all parts of the country. In the development of "Jinghua", large-scale merchants, such as flower shops and flower villages, appeared to specialize in the sale of "Jinghua".

　　The technical content of making "Jinghua" is not high. Assembling flowers, stamens and branches is called "saving live". Adults and children can do it, which has solved many people’s employment. In addition to being used as headgear and decorating life, "Jinghua" merchants also provide services for opera artists and act as "outfits". Famous artists such as "Hua Er Liu", "Hua Er Gong" and "Hua Er Jin" have emerged in Beijing Flower Industry. Hemp rope is an indispensable material for Beijing gardeners, so there are many hemp shops in Donghua Market alone. Later, plastic flowers appeared on the stage, and velvet flowers and silk flower plummeted. Coupled with changes in folk customs, not many people wore velvet flowers. "Jinghua" basically doesn’t exist, except for those who make wreaths, and even "Jingyi silk flower Sales Department" has disappeared.

　　In addition to the flower industry, there are many handicrafts in Chongwai that are unique in Beijing, such as filigree mosaic, which is very famous. Filament inlay is a traditional handicraft in China. It processes gold and silver into filaments, shapes them by pushing, pinching and weaving, and engraves patterns on the gold and silver filaments, and then inlays them with beautiful pearls, jade and precious stones. The products inlaid with filigree can be roughly divided into three categories, one is jewelry, the other is display and decoration, and the other is to decorate filigree with some daily necessities. Nowadays, filigree mosaic has become a national intangible cultural heritage.

　　The feeder is also an ancient industry. The grape feeder made in the famous "Grape Factory" is as shiny and shiny as a real grape. The grape feeder is inherited by the "Chang sisters" who originally lived in the flower market. They are Mongolians. In order to keep this craft secret, the Chang sisters never marry. Their deeds are often seen in newspapers. Scholar Deng Tuo once wrote: "The two generations of the Chang family kept the cold, and a hundred years passed down. The purple color of the grapes damages the beauty, and the old dreams are like smoke! "

　　There are many kinds of feeders in old Beijing, except grapes, peaches, fruits, pears, flowers, animals and people can be confused. The feeder takes glass as the main material, and the handicrafts made are colorful, ingenious, lifelike, exquisite, crystal clear and lovely, and are loved by people. In 1964, the feeder company built a building near Longtan Lake, and more than 800 people were engaged in feeder production. Prior to this, feeder artists were all based on families or workshops, distributed in Huashi Street and surrounding alleys, which should be the birthplace of old Beijing feeders in Huashi area.

　　Cloisonne, also known as inlaid enamel, is a kind of ware made of fine copper wire woven into various patterns on a copper tire, and then the enamel glaze is mainly blue and filled in the patterns. Cloisonne craft has a history of 600-700 years in China, and it is called "Cloisonne" because of its high development, exquisite technology and various varieties during the Jingtai period in the Ming Dynasty. Before the Japanese invaders invaded China, cloisonne products in Beijing sold very well, and most of them were exported to Europe, America and Japan, and the Japanese secretly copied them. At the time of its prosperity, there were nearly 100 cloisonne workshops with more than 2,700 employees. Dexingcheng, the second lane in Chongwai, and Da Rui Hall in Tea Hutong are among them. In 1923, there were 15 "Jingtai enamel shops" in Beijing, specializing in cloisonne products. In 1950, Beijing Enamel Factory was built in the south of the Temple of Heaven, and the road next to the factory was named Jingtai Road.

　　Chongwai is known as the hometown of handicrafts and the birthplace of many handicrafts in Beijing. The "Hundred Workshops" established a few years ago confirmed the prosperity of Chongwai handicrafts. Before 1990, there were glassware factories, feeder products factories, art red light factories, craft woodcarving factories, jade factories, theatrical outfitting factories, etc. Many handicraft factories gathered in the same area, which explained the origin of industrial and commercial halls in Chongwai area from the side.

Changjiang Daily Media February 1 (Reporter Wu Ye correspondent Ma Yaoyao) As the Spring Festival approaches, many citizens are busy buying new year’s goods. The doctor reminded that people must pay attention to avoiding the "pit" of allergies when they choose to buy new year’s goods with great joy. The Changjiang Daily reporter learned that the dermatology and ophthalmology clinics in Houhu Campus of central hospital of wuhan recently received many patients with related diseases caused by allergies when buying new year’s goods.

Men itch all over after visiting flower shops.

Mr. Liu, 43, lives in Houhu. On the afternoon of January 31, he and his wife went to the flower and bird market to buy some flowers and green plants to decorate the room and increase the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. After coming to the flower and bird market, Mr. Liu didn’t expect that there were not only many kinds of flowers and plants in the Spring Festival atmosphere, but also various meanings. Every time he went to a flower shop, he had to watch them carefully, listen carefully to the boss’s explanation of breeding methods, and sometimes touch the leaves with his hands and put his nose together to smell the flowers.

Not long after returning home, Mr. Liu suddenly felt itchy. After undressing, he was shocked. He found many erythema and wheal on his back, arms and abdomen. Thinking that it was getting late, he didn’t go to the hospital immediately. He endured until the next day and found that his body was more itchy, many skin were scratched, and diarrhea symptoms appeared. The dermatologist in Houhu District of central hospital of wuhan diagnosed that Mr. Liu had urticaria, and further examination revealed that he was allergic. At present, after drug treatment, Mr. Liu’s symptoms have been significantly improved.

Gao Ying, director of dermatology department, said that before the Spring Festival every year, many patients who were exposed to allergens during the purchase of new year’s goods would be admitted to the clinic, causing acute urticaria. Plants themselves are an important class of allergens. The roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits of plants can produce allergens. When they enter the human body through ingestion, inhalation or contact, they will induce allergic diseases under certain conditions.

Director Gao reminded that in winter and spring, we should try our best to avoid going to places where there are many flowers, plants and dust mites. Once citizens find that they have symptoms of urticaria, they should go to regular hospitals for examination in time. acute urticaria patients can be cured by taking drugs regularly for one week. However, chronic urticaria can be formed if it is not treated in time or exposed to allergens continuously. Chronic urticaria is difficult to cure, and symptoms can only be controlled through long-term medication.

The eyes of female white-collar workers are itchy after makeup.

Lily, a 25-year-old female white-collar worker, went to many shopping malls to try on cosmetics in order to wear a heavy makeup at the company’s annual meeting, and also bought some good cosmetics for herself for the New Year. Unexpectedly, the next day, her eyes showed symptoms of tears, photophobia and strange itching, and she was diagnosed with allergic conjunctivitis by eye examination in central hospital of wuhan. By further inquiring about her illness, the doctor who attended the clinic learned that Lily usually loves dressing up and never goes out without makeup. Eyeliner, mascara and Cosmetic Contact Lenses are all essential steps. The doctor judged that she tried a variety of cosmetics at the weekend, so that the use of cosmetics around her eyes led to allergic conjunctivitis.

Xiang Yi, director of ophthalmology, said that allergic conjunctivitis is now caused by improper use of cosmetics, wearing contact lenses and pollen, and its incidence is gradually increasing. The main symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis are tears, photophobia and even itching.

Director Xiang reminded that in recent years, cosmetics have also become the new year’s goods selected by young women who like fashion during the Chinese New Year. Cosmetics themselves contain many chemical synthetic substances, which constantly stimulate the tissues around the eyes, which may cause conjunctival allergy and allergic conjunctivitis. Citizens should stay away from inferior cosmetics. People with allergies should stop immediately after using cosmetics and go to the hospital in time.

In the eyes of many people, the 31-year-old Beijing male singer became popular because she won the current runner-up with a folk song "Chengdu" in Hunan Satellite TV program "Singer". But in Netease Cloud Music, the name Zhao Lei has long been as hot as Jay Chou.

　

On October 24th, 2016, Zhao Lei’s "Chengdu" studio version was released exclusively on Netease Cloud Music, with over 30,000 comments a day, and 50,000 comments on Jay Chou’s new songs.

　

On December 21, 2016, Zhao Lei’s digital album "Can’t Grow Up" was exclusively released in Netease Cloud Music. Two months later, that is, two weeks after he won the runner-up, the sales of the album on Netease Cloud Music exceeded 200,000, which is nearly twice the total sales of the album on other music platforms.

　

From the popularity of Zhao Lei, we can see the characteristics of Netease Cloud Music, which is also a music platform. Zhao Lei’s fan growth rate, album sales and comments on Netease Cloud Music far exceed other platforms. Even QQ music with Zhao Lei’s exclusive live singing of "Chengdu" and more users failed to surpass Netease Cloud Music in data.

This is related to the community atmosphere and user types of Netease Cloud Music. Most of its more than 200 million users are young people from first-and second-tier cities, aged between 15 and 35, mostly students and white-collar workers. These people regard Netease Cloud Music as a music version of Weibo and a circle of friends, where they not only listen to songs and write song lists, but also frequently interact with independent musicians such as Zhao Lei, Li Zhi and Chen Li.

　

Compared with users of other platforms, these users contributed more music payment data. In 2016, the number of paid members of Netease Cloud Music increased by more than 9 times compared with 2015, while the number of digital album buyers increased by more than 7 times compared with 2015.

　

"Now QQ music and cool dog music rank in the top two in the industry, and we are tied for third place with Cool Me." Zhu Yiwen, CEO of Netease Cloud Music, told the reporter of Caijing Tianxia Weekly.

　

In the ranking of mobile application apps published by China Unicom in March 2017, QQ Music and Cool Dog Music ranked the top two in terms of monthly active users of 200 million and 150 million, while Netease Cloud Music and Cool Me Music ranked 56 million and 44 million respectively.

　

This App with crimson as the background color has become an out-and-out dark horse in the online music market.

　

According to the 2016 China Mobile Music Market Annual Comprehensive Report released by Analysys think tank, Netease Cloud Music increased by 163.8% in 2016 compared with the same period in 2014. Another data worth mentioning is the "music library utilization rate", that is, the efficiency of songs in the music library being played and listened to by users. The usage rate of Netease Cloud Music reaches 80%, while the industry average is less than 20%. This means that Netease Cloud Music is better at revitalizing the music library, and their users are also better at discovering "unpopular" music.

　

In April 2016, Netease Cloud Music was upgraded from the Music Product Center of Hangzhou Research Institute to the Music Division, becoming an institution on the same level as games, mailboxes, media and other projects. At the same time, it was reported that it started financing of 1 billion yuan, with a valuation of 8 billion yuan.

　

playlist

UGC mode not only increases the number of "song lists", but also improves the quality of song lists. The most important thing is to make the "music playing software" originally defined as a tool have social attributes-after editing and uploading the song list, users will actively push the song list on social media to show their music taste, and users with the same genre hobbies will comment and share under the song list. This makes the originally lonely music play lively.

　

"Most of the previous products told users’ I have a lot of songs here, you can listen to and download songs here’, and we want to tell users that we can help you find good songs, especially those that you may like but you don’t know."

　

In January 2013, Netease Cloud Music logged into the App Store, and Zhu Yiwen brushed Weibo all night that night and found that it "caused a sensation, and many people commented that it was a subversive product".

The first group of users are "musicians from major music forums or platforms". With the help of Chloe Wang’s connections in the music circle, they called "more than 20 best DJs in China" to upload song lists in Netease Cloud Music Production, which quickly caused users to follow suit, and more music lovers entered Cloud Music and made their own song lists.

　

Users have uploaded their own song lists compiled in different environments and emotions to Netease Cloud Music. Just from the name of the song list, they can see their love for this way of creation. Besides the common song lists that express their emotional needs, such as "those songs that accompanied me through the lovelorn period" and "healing songs", there are also songs that are suitable for different environments, such as "essential songs for knitting sweaters in the sun in winter", "most suitable songs for drinking coffee in the afternoon" and "essential songs for the elderly chess room".

　

Some fans enjoy making song lists without any material rewards, just hoping to meet "bosom friends".

　

"In version 1.0, in order to encourage some opinion leaders to create song lists, we will put their song lists on the homepage for recommendation, so that the collection and playback of song lists will increase rapidly, which is a great encouragement for the creators."

　

Of course, in addition to the appreciation from "bosom friends", song list makers will also get accusations from other users, such as "it is really a failure not to put such a song into the song list", and such nitpicking and responses have spawned user interaction, which, in Zhu Yiwen’s view, is "the embryonic form of music socialization".

　

Now, cloud music generates an average of 420,000 song lists every day. On the cloud music platform, the number of high-quality song lists (songs collected by more than 100 people) exceeds 200 million, among which the most clicked song list is "epic music that shocked the soul" made by ordinary users, with 1.17 million people collecting it, 28.82 million playing it and more than 17,000 comments. Some users commented under this song list, "Because of this song list,

　

"Now the song list has become a productivity tool." Zhu Yiwen said that with the increase in the number and quality of song lists, these song lists have replaced "music collections" in a wider range to meet the needs of different scenes. Some wedding companies directly use the wedding song list on Netease Cloud Music as the background sound of the wedding scene, while some video production companies choose the appropriate background music from the song list.

　

Today, the homepage of Netease Cloud Music no longer recommends a few songs in a unified way, but makes "personalized recommendations" according to each user’s music habits. Using big data technology, they will recommend songs that they may like according to the characteristics of different users.

　

"For example, if one million people like to listen to Blue Lotus as well as Ice Rain, which proves that the two songs are related, then we will recommend this combination to those who only listen to one of the songs. This is the basic algorithm for our song recommendation." Zhu Yiwen said.

　

This song list combination algorithm has brought higher activity to Netease Cloud Music. Now 50% of users are used to clicking and reading comments when listening to songs, which is a scene that has never appeared on other music platforms.

　

▲ Recently, Netease Cloud Music made the high-quality music reviews of ordinary users into posters and put them on the Hangzhou subway to explode the circle of friends.

　

In Zhu Yiwen’s view, this data proves that they have changed the listening habits of some people.

　

"In the past, everyone turned off the screen and listened to music after turning on the music player, but now they will listen to songs while listening to them, which proves that he is not listening to songs alone, but listening to songs with a group of people, which brings a human touch to Netease Cloud Music."

　

This has become the biggest moat of Netease Cloud Music. These music-loving users have continuously created content for Netease Cloud Music Platform, which extends a better "community atmosphere".

　

"The function may be imitated by others. If we are just a playing tool, others can easily copy our function. But today we are a community and they can’t copy my content. "

　

After Netease Cloud Music launched the "song list", other music playback platforms also launched similar functions. Even Cool Dog Music opened the "song barrage" in June 2016, and user comments appeared on the cover of songs in the form of barrage, further improving user interaction. However, the users of Netease Cloud Music are more active. In the ranking of monthly traffic consumption of music App users in China Unicom’s March Wo Index, Netease Cloud Music users lead other music platforms with 87MB, while QQ music users’ monthly traffic is 43MB and Cool Dog’s is 13MB.

　

change　

　

Last year, changes in Netease Cloud Music attracted the attention of the industry.

　

In April 2016, Chloe Wang left Netease Cloud Music and joined Baidu Music three months later as the general manager. At the same time, the structure of Netease Cloud Music was further adjusted. Zhu Yiwen was promoted from the earlier product director to the CEO of Netease Cloud Music, responsible for the overall management of Netease Cloud Music and reporting directly to Ding Lei. Chloe Wang’s previous operation and management work was taken over by Ding Bo, vice president of Netease Cloud Music, who reported to Zhu Yiwen.

　

▲ Ding Bo, vice president of Netease Cloud Music, took over the operation management and reported to Zhu Yiwen.

　

The upgraded Netease Cloud Music has increased its support for independent musicians.

　

"Music also has a niche market. In the past, everyone was keen to listen to those popular songs, but now different people actually like different songs. Just like in the early years, everyone only watched CCTV, but now with the rise of various media and more people like different content, everyone’s tastes have been divided. " Zhu Yiwen said.

　

In November 2016, Netease Cloud Music released an independent musician support plan called "Stone Plan", which plans to invest 200 million yuan in one year to support independent musicians from seven aspects: promotion resources, album investment, performance opportunities, appreciation opening, music training, musicians’ surroundings and musician index system.

　

"Our definition of independent musicians is very broad. As long as we can record and upload songs, we can be independent musicians. However, we will develop a scoring system for such musicians, which is similar to the Baidu Index, and we will promote and support them according to the status and potential of musicians. " Zhu Yiwen said that these musicians can review and upload songs after filling in their personal identity information in the background. If the data of their songs on the platform is good enough, Netease Cloud Music will focus on exploring and creating new stars.

　

This is how Chen Li, a female folk singer, was discovered.

　

"At the end of 2013, we found that Chen’s data curve on our platform was very beautiful, so we focused on taking out her songs for recommendation. Later, sure enough, she was on fire. Of course, I dare not say that her popularity is all due to Netease Cloud Music, but it can be seen that the sales of her digital album here are record. " Ding Bo said in an interview with the reporter of Caijing Tianxia Weekly.

　

As of March 2017, the number of fans of Chen Li in Netease Cloud Music and QQ Music was 870,000 and 749,000. On July 26th, 2016, she simultaneously released her digital album "Little Dream Most" on Netease Cloud Music, QQ Music and Weibo Music. During the initial sale period-within two weeks, the album sold 50,000 copies in Netease Cloud Music, with sales of 1.01 million yuan. On the QQ music platform, it sold 27,000 copies with a sales volume of 549,000 yuan.

　

▲ The sales volume of Chen Li’s digital album in Netease Cloud Music is record. The activity of independent musicians has made Netease Cloud Music make up for the shortcomings of copyright to some extent.

　

Now there are more than 40,000 independent musicians on Netease Cloud Music Platform. This number may not be the largest among all online music platforms, but it is the highest in terms of activity. These musicians uploaded more than 800,000 original music works. In 2016, the number of settled musicians and uploaded original works doubled year-on-year, and the amount of original music played increased by more than five times.

　

"Independent musicians are more likely to become popular on our platform because our user base is more inclusive of new music. This makes it easier for us to promote some unpopular music, and it is this difference that allows independent musicians to get better development here. " Zhu Yiwen said.

　

The activity of independent musicians has made Netease Cloud Music make up for the shortcomings of copyright to some extent. As a latecomer, although Netease Cloud Music has gathered a popular community through the music+social mode, it still lags behind in terms of song copyright.

　

On July 15th, 2015, QQ Music announced the merger with China Music Group, becoming the largest exclusive copyright giant in China, which brought a lot of pressure to the latecomers.

　

At present, there are more than 10 million songs in Netease Cloud Music Library. Some of these songs are copyrighted by record companies, while others are purchased by Tencent in the form of exclusive copyright, and they need to pay distribution fees or copyright fees to Tencent.

　

Regarding the weakness of copyright, Ding Bo reflected: "Our biggest mistake is that these giants didn’t make timely moves when they went to grab exclusive copyright, which led us to be constrained by others in the future growth rate, but we also took a positive attitude to deal with this situation. We undertook distribution and paid copyright fees, hoping to bring users a better experience."

　

In order to fill the copyright shortcomings, Netease Cloud Music costs a lot.

　

Zhu Yiwen said: "At present, 80% of the total cost of Netease Cloud Music is spent on purchasing copyright." High copyright fees have delayed the profit plan. Since its establishment, Netease Cloud Music has never made a profit.

　

And the emergence of independent musicians let them see another opportunity-from copyright competition to copyright production.

　

On the one hand, they can make profits by selling digital albums. For example, Zhao Lei’s album "Can’t Grow Up" sold more than 200,000 yuan, which brought more than 3.2 million yuan to Netease Cloud Music. This album, which has no physical record and is only sold in digital form, is low in cost, low in price, convenient to buy and sell, and easy to create high sales.

　

On the other hand, they can cooperate with independent musicians and become record companies in the internet age.

　

In an interview with the reporter of Caijing Tianxia Weekly (ID:cjtxzk), Ding Bo said: "Traditional record companies use brokers to help musicians create songs, while the Internet platform can cover all brokers’ businesses. Besides traditional brokers, Internet companies can also help musicians make various data and provide various index reports."

　

Netease’s ambition for "original music" is obvious. Since it can’t surpass its rivals in the copyright of existing songs, why not overtake them in the "original music"?

　

In addition to selling digital rights, they will also open an "appreciation" function for independent musicians. Users can appreciate a favorite song, which may not be much, but it is an encouragement for musicians who have just debuted.

　

Under the situation that competitors monopolize copyright, this way of upstream and downstream development has become the new direction of Netease Cloud Music. In addition to promoting independent musicians, they also invested in music-related hardware manufacturers and undertook ticket sales for some small concerts.

　

At the same time, other music platforms are undergoing a new round of integration.

　

QQ Music and China Music Group merged to become Tencent Music Entertainment Group, with Tencent accounting for 60% of the shares. At present, this huge music group controls 42% of the copyright authorization of music lyrics and 53.1% of the copyright authorization of music recording in China. After the merger, QQ Music, Kugou and Kuwo belong to the same group company, with a market share of more than half.

　

On July 26, 2016, 10 days after the merger was announced, Wu Weilin, general manager of Tencent Digital Music Department, told the media that QQ Music "has achieved profitability", which is the first music streaming service in the world to announce profitability. It is reported that QQ Music will launch a listing plan with a valuation of nearly $10 billion.

　

In December 2015, Baidu Music announced the merger with Taihe Music Group, whose three major music brands, Taihe Wheat Field, Haidie Music and Dashi Copyright, reached various forms of cooperation with hundreds of well-known artists, and also reached in-depth cooperation with more than 100 institutions including the three major record companies in the world, holding music copyrights of more than 12 million through self-production and agency. Baidu Music has officially become a music industry chain company including record companies, copyright agents, live performances, ticketing and other businesses.

　

Netease cloud music, which has reached the front line with a dark horse posture, will face more challenges in the future.

　

But Zhu Yiwen still regards finding good music as the focus of Netease Cloud Music.

　

"I am not a heavy music lover, but I am a music discoverer." Zhu Yiwen said, "In 2013, Boss Ding took me and Chloe Wang to an activity. On the way, Chloe Wang asked us to listen to a song, saying that this song would definitely be popular in the future. At that time, I thought the lyrics were very distinctive, including wild horses and grasslands."

　

After listening to a song, Boss Ding agrees with Chloe Wang’s judgment. Later, this song was really a fire.

　

The singer’s name is Donye.S, and the song title is Miss Dong.

　　In order to ensure that critically ill patients can receive timely priority treatment, the reporter learned from the Beijing Municipal Hospital Administration that from May 1, 2019, 20 Beijing-owned hospitals providing emergency services will uniformly implement emergency pre-examination and triage ("emergency classification").

　　According to the former Ministry of Health’s Guide to the Construction and Management of Emergency Department (Trial) (Wei Yi Zheng Fa [2009] No.50) and the national health industry standard "Standardized Process of Hospital Emergency Department" (WS/T390-2012), it is clearly put forward that "emergency departments should formulate and strictly implement triage procedures and triage principles": patients should be divided into "endangered, critical, emergency and non-emergency" 1.

　　Level 1 patients are in critical condition and may be life-threatening at any time, and immediately enter the resuscitation room or rescue room for rescue. Such as cardiac arrest, shock, definite myocardial infarction, status epilepticus, body temperature > 41℃, systolic blood pressure < 70mmHg, blood sugar < 3.33mmol/L, etc.

　　Grade 2 patients are critically ill or rapidly deteriorating and life-threatening, and enter the rescue room for treatment within 10 minutes. Such as severe dyspnea, lethargy, acute stroke, ECG suggesting acute myocardial infarction, active or severe blood loss, etc.

　　Grade 3 patients are in an urgent condition and have potential life threats, and priority is given to diagnosis and treatment before grade 4 non-emergency patients. Such as acute asthma, foreign body inhalation, dysphagia, persistent vomiting, chest and abdominal pain, mild and moderate trauma, mild and moderate bleeding, etc.

　　Grade 4 patients are non-emergency, and the degree of illness is average. According to the guidelines, the waiting time is longer. Such as mild pain without dangerous features, minor abrasions without suture, follow-up visit of patients in stable recovery period, and only issuing medical certificates.

　　How to achieve scientific classification and give consideration to fairness and safety? According to reports, first of all, the emergency departments of all hospitals have arranged experienced personnel to engage in emergency pre-examination and triage, and organized all medical staff related to emergency to conduct special training for all staff; Secondly, the most important basis for grading is the collection of patients’ vital signs by professional instruments, including heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, etc., and the medical staff will combine the patient’s medical history, symptoms and signs to make the final scientific grading and subordinate to the specialty; Third, professionals monitor the condition of patients in the waiting area. For Grade 3 and Grade 4 patients, when waiting in the waiting area, there will be specialized medical personnel to patrol regularly to dynamically evaluate the condition and potential risks of the patients waiting for treatment, and they can be graded again according to the latest evaluation to ensure the safety of patients. If the patient has sudden discomfort, please inform the medical staff in time so as to take corresponding medical care measures in time.

Short video news is changing people’s habit of watching TV news for a long time. The All Media School had previously paid attention to the trend of Washington post’s short video strategy. Today, it once again focuses on methodology. How short video is the most popular?

The Journalist’s Resource website synthesizes many reports and sorts out the essential tips of video editing. To get the best "input-output ratio" of news video production, we need to figure out how long it is most appropriate!

In 2014, a report from the Pew Research Center showed that in the United States, more than 6 out of 10 adults had the habit of watching online videos, and 36% of them chose to watch news videos.

YouTube has more than 1 billion registered users, and the massive user viewing data can most intuitively reflect how long videos are the most popular.

As early as 2012, Pew Research Center began to study the video viewing data on YouTube, and concluded:The most popular video is about 2.1 minutes long.. This video is slightly longer than the local TV news, but shorter than the online evening news collection.

Research institute ComScore found in a report in 2014 that,The average duration of online video (excluding online video advertisements) is about 4.4 minutes.

The Tow Center Digital Journalism Research Center of Columbia University also published a multimedia research report in 2014, compiling the challenges faced by newsrooms, such as how media organizations try to use video as a profitable editing tool.

Although many organizations have published research reports, there is no "absolute standard" for the duration of news videos. This is because, to a great extent, readers’ tastes and standards are constantly changing.Therefore, in the discussion about the length of moving vertical video, there have been various opinions.

However, the latest research from the University of Texas at Austin provides some new perspectives.

The research team published their research results in the professional journal News Research this year, focusing on the quality and length of news videos, trying to find out the characteristics of news videos that attract readers and estimate people’s viewing preferences.

Peter S. Chen, the first author from the University of Texas, published a paper with two co-authors from the University of Southern Mississippi. The core findings are as follows:

1. High-definition image quality and information determine the "first impression"

Although previous studies have proved that if video content can arouse the audience’s interest, they can also tolerate low-quality video images.

But,Readers won’t tolerate pictures that are not informative, poor in texture and have no sense of pleasure.I will not recommend this to others.

2. Don’t ask the source of the video, talk about the hero by length.

It is found that it is most appropriate to keep the video content of a short video at 2.08 minutes. A slightly shorter video is most suitable in 24 seconds.

3. When both image quality and duration are taken into account, image quality takes precedence.

When both quality and length are considered, compared with other videos,People will prefer long and high-definition videos or short and high-definition videos.

4. Quality is paramount, and video editing also needs professional training.

The quality of a news video can affect the audience’s cognition of news organizations, and the longer the video, the deeper the cognitive impression.

In recent years, many editors are required to be able to produce and edit news videos, but they have not received professional training.

"This enables employees who lack professional visual training to post videos online, especially those short videos."And such reckless practices will leave a "bad impression" on readers.

"Just like the paper media dealing with the content crisis, publishing news videos online can only solve the problem of how to attract audiences by overcoming quality problems."The researchers stressed that other components of video still need more research. For example, audio quality and its composition, which is also an important factor for the audience to decide to start or stop watching.

Related research:

In 2011, a paper in the journal News Research proposed that "the more relaxed the content, the more clicks it can get" by studying YouTube videos. Of course, this is not to deny that traditional news videos can’t gather popularity.

====================

This article is an exclusive editorial of All Media School.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the seminar on "Learning the spirit of the important speech of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader and Meeting the 20th Party Congress" for leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels that in order to consolidate the long-term ruling position and always win the heartfelt support of the people, we must always be sober and firm in "catching the exam".

　　Looking back, in September, 2019, on the eve of celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, the General Secretary proposed to answer the questions of the new era with sobriety and firmness in "catching the exam" when inspecting the memorial site of Xiangshan Revolution in Beijing. In 2021, at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Party History Learning and Education Mobilization Conference, the General Secretary mentioned "keep &lsquo; Catch the exam &rsquo; Sober. "

　　"The times are the writers, we are the respondents, and the people are the reviewers." The examination papers are always new, the true colors are still the same, and "catching the exam" is always on the road.

　　Catch the exam all the way: the Communist Party of China (CPC) has lived up to history and people’s choice.

　　A political party, from small to large, from weak to strong, is also simple at the beginning, and it will be great at the end.

　　In July 1921, the Communist Party of China (CPC) was born in Shanghai Shikumen and Nanhu Red Boat. From Jinggangshan to northern Shaanxi, from northern Shaanxi to Xibaipo, and then to Beijing, all the way to catch the exam, in exchange for "overwhelming and generous."

　　In March 1949, when the CPC Central Committee set off for Beijing from Xibaipo at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, Comrade Mao Zedong said: Today is the day to go to Beijing to catch the exam.

　　In July 2013, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Xibaipo, standing at the height of history and times, and profoundly pointed out that the "rushing for exams" faced by the party is far from over.

　　Taking the exam all the way is also exploring all the way. From a single spark to the potential to start a prairie fire, and then to the two answers of "cave question", the Communist Party of China (CPC) has developed into the largest Marxist ruling party in the world.

　　"In the past 100 years, our party has been committed to the happiness of the people of China, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the progress of mankind, the harmony of the world, the public interest in the world, and the right path in the world. This is the greatest confidence of our party in its historical self-confidence. It is also the historical confidence of our party to unite and lead the people to move forward." At the end of 2021, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a special democratic life meeting on the study and education of party history. The Supreme Leader General Secretary stressed, "Today, we can say that the Communist Party of China (CPC) has lived up to history and people’s choices."

　　In the past 100 years, the party has handed over an excellent answer to the people and history. Now, with the unity of the Party, the people of China have embarked on a new road to achieve the goal of the second century of struggle.

　　Pass the big exam: all our achievements have been made through the joint efforts of the party and the people.

　　The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be achieved easily by beating gongs and drums. Two angles provide us with an observation perspective.

　　Space: Looking at the domestic general trend, China’s development faces new strategic opportunities, new strategic tasks, new strategic stages, new strategic requirements and new strategic environment, and the risks and challenges to be dealt with, contradictions and problems to be solved are more complicated than before. Looking at the international trend, the great changes that the world has never seen in a century have accelerated its evolution, and the characteristics of changes in the world, times and history are more obvious.

　　Time: the five years since the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China are extremely unusual and extraordinary; In the 10 years of the new era, the risk challenges we have encountered are high in wind and high in waves, sometimes even stormy waves, and various risk challenges come one after another, with unprecedented complexity and severity.

　　COVID-19 epidemic is not only a crisis, but also a big test. We adhered to the principle of putting people first and life first, and carried out people’s war, general war and blocking war against the epidemic, which protected people’s life safety and health to the utmost extent, and made overall plans for economic development and epidemic prevention and control and achieved the best results in the world.

　　Only a nation that can unite and struggle can have a future, and a political party that can unite and struggle can be invincible. The greatest happiness in the world is to strive for the happiness of the people. We strengthened our confidence, faced difficulties, fought one battle after another, and took one exam after another. All our achievements were made through the joint efforts of the Party and the people.

　　On January 30th this year, General Secretary’s speech at the 2022 Spring Festival group meeting was inspiring: "As long as more than 1.4 billion people in China always hold hands and look forward to the future together, as long as more than 95 million people in the Communist Party of China (CPC) always look forward to the future together with the people’s hearts, we will certainly be able to continue to create amazing miracles on the new road of catching the exam."

　　Facing the exam with confidence: The most fundamental thing is to do our own thing well.

　　"Being safe without forgetting danger, being alive without forgetting death, and governing without forgetting chaos", our party was born out of internal and external troubles, grew up in hardships and setbacks, and grew stronger in overcoming risk challenges. It has always had a strong sense of hardship and risk, and always prepared for the exam with a sober and firm attitude and a rainy eye.

　　"A hundred years of change, one thing comes out, one gray rhinoceros and one black swan." During the inspection tour in Hainan from April 10th to 13th this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader mentioned, "A revolutionary elder once said such a thing, &lsquo; Always uneasy &rsquo; . I listened to it very resonantly. "

　　At the end of April, the General Secretary presided over the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting, which emphasized that leading cadres at all levels should have a sense of responsibility of "always worrying" in their work, take responsibility, be realistic and pragmatic, and prevent all kinds of "black swan" and "grey rhinoceros" incidents.

　　Not sleepy lies in early consideration, not poor lies in early preparation.

　　In January, 2019, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader analyzed the major risks in eight fields, such as politics, ideology, economy, economic and trade struggle with the United States, science and technology, society, foreign work and the Party itself, and put forward clear requirements at the opening ceremony of the special seminar for leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels.

　　At the end of last year, at the Central Economic Work Conference, the General Secretary said earnestly: "I often sound the alarm. I am ringing the alarm bell to make everyone alert and be prepared for danger in times of peace. "

This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account:　8-word intersection (id: crosseight), Author: Han Sai, original title: "Participate in the African version of" Win in China ",what did Ma Yun say? 》, the title map comes from: vision china

On November 16, 2019, local time, a TV studio in Accra, the capital of Ghana, an African country.

On the stage stood ten young people, men and women, black and white. Ten smiling and confident faces looked at the camera under the stage.

On the big screen behind them, a row of English is displayed:

Africa’s Business Heroes(African business hero)

Under the stage, four judges, three men and one woman, sat in danger.

Two Africans, respectively, are Zimbabwe’s telecom tycoon Straf Mahiywa.(Strive Masiyiwa)And Ibkun Awosika, a Nigerian female banker.(Ibukun Awosika).

Outstanding African entrepreneurs in these years.

The other two Asian faces are Cai Chongxin, executive vice chairman of Alibaba’s board of directors, and the one who just stepped down as chairman of Alibaba’s board of directors not long ago:

Ma yun

Ten young people are carefully selected from more than 10,000 entrepreneurs in more than 50 countries in Africa.

They need to tell their dreams in front of the camera, introduce their projects, and accept comments from four judges to compete for a total of $1 million in venture capital.

Ten years ago, a similar program in China was all the rage. It was called Win in China.

Ma Yun is also a judge.

01

The first one is a girl from Rwanda, Kevin Kejirimpudu.（Kevine Kagirimpundu）.

Her entrepreneurial project is to make a pair of shoes worn by Rwandans.

The reason that prompted her to start this career was that walking in the streets of Rwanda, she often saw various shoe repair shops, but a large number of people were barefoot.

The reason behind this is that Rwanda’s light industry is very backward, and its shoes and socks are basically imported. Local shoe repairers can only repair shoes, and no one can make shoes.

After a long time, many local people go barefoot all the year round.

Discovering this market, she decided to teach herself and do it herself.

The first step is to search in Google:

How to make a pair of shoes?

According to the steps provided on the internet, Kevin began to practice his hands by using the existing materials at hand-discarded tires that can be seen everywhere on the streets of Rwanda. How to cut the sole, how to polish the leather, how to stick, and how to sew. ……

After several months of trying and consulting the shoe repairer repeatedly, she finally made the first pair of shoes and founded her own footwear brand, employing 70% female employees.

The raw materials she uses basically come from waste tires. This is also a practice of environmental protection.

Are you wearing shoes made by yourself now? Judge Straff asked suddenly.

Kevin standing on the stage directly took off his shoes and sent them to him barefoot.

Sure! You see, there is my company’s LOGO…… in it … I’m so embarrassed!

The audience burst into laughter, and Ma Yun sitting next to him also laughed.

This is far from his first contact with Africa and the young people here.

Two years ago, in 2017, Ma Yun gave a speech to thousands of young people in the university auditorium in Nairobi, Kenya.

In particular, he highlighted his failure to take the college entrance examination three times when he was young, and his failure to apply for a job 30 times to encourage young people to stick to their dreams.

In the cheers of the young people in the audience, Ma Yun said on the spot:

From now on, I will come to Africa every year and visit three African countries. I hope I can visit all 54 African countries in the next 10 to 15 years.

02

Vaccine promotion, agricultural technology, palm oil … One contestant after another came on stage to tell their dreams.

Their dreams are often linked to the suffering of the African continent.

In 1994, the biggest news that shocked the world came from Africa.

This year, a humanitarian disaster broke out in Rwanda, which is destined to be written into human history.

A few years ago, a civil war broke out between Hutu and Tutsi, two major ethnic groups in China, which killed more than 1 million people in just three months and wiped out one seventh of the country’s total population. Many Chinese have seen the film Hotel Rwanda.

Rwandan girl Kristel Quezela（Christelle Kwizera）I was born in this year. Fortunately, her home was far from the front line of the conflict and was not affected.

But for Rwandans, the massacre is only part of the disaster. Even if you get away with it, you need to face many challenges and death traps in your life.

The biggest threat comes from the water that everyone can’t live without every day.

In sub-Saharan African countries, almost all of them face the problem of water shortage because of drought. In fact, except for a few areas, most countries have rivers flowing through them, and water shortage is not serious.

What is really lacking is a safe water source that can be used.

In Africa, many deadly diseases, cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever or polio viruses are hidden in surface water, and a large number of people get sick and die after drinking unclean surface water every year.

Many years after the massacre, people in Rwanda are still dying all the time-just because of water.

Quezela’s childhood was full of experiences of fetching water again and again.

As long as she can remember, she and her mother walked to a water point more than ten miles away every day, carrying nearly 20 kilograms, ranging from five or six hours to more than ten hours.

It can be said that most of the labor force in the whole family only do one thing when they are alive: fetch water.

In Rwanda, only a few big cities have a tap water network, which can provide safe groundwater. The annual use price is about 500 dollars, which is about a quarter of the income of an ordinary person.

During her college years, Quezela studied mechanical engineering. After graduation, she founded Rwanda Water Resources Company.

Since 2014, Rwanda Water Resources Company has drilled wells and installed pipelines in more than 90 residential areas all over the country, and built hundreds of tap water networks.

Their price is one-third to one-fifth of the government water supply network.

Ma Yun comments:

Your biggest competitor should be the Rwandan government, because they have been actively promoting water supply construction in recent years.

Only if you are faster than them, provide better services and make your competitors worry about you, can your company continue to survive and grow in the future.

In March this year, after visiting Africa, Ma Yun established the Ma Yun African Youth Entrepreneurship Fund with a total amount of 10 million US dollars.

This fund will spend 1 million yuan each year to support entrepreneurs in the next ten years.

The "African Business Heroes" to be broadcast on major TV stations is the first.

03

In 2009, Temi Jiwatobson, a Nigerian girl studying in the United States.（Temie Giwa-Tubosun）I signed up for an internship program and returned to Nigeria to participate in medical volunteer activities.

In her hometown, Tammy witnessed a scene that she will never forget in her life. A pregnant woman suffered from dystocia that lasted for three days.

Although the doctors and nurses tried their best to rescue them, they failed to recover them. The mother eventually bled heavily, resulting in the death of the baby.

To save the baby’s life, only an ordinary caesarean section is needed, or timely and sufficient blood supply is needed.

It looks like a common condition, but it is almost impossible in Nigeria.

Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa, selling oil to Britain, the United States, China and Japan. However, in the World Health Organization’s ranking of public health conditions, it ranks 187th in the world, ranking fourth from the bottom.

In Nigeria, local couples have an average of 5-8 children, with 814 deaths per 100,000 births. The main cause of death is postpartum hemorrhage.

Five years later, Tammy had her own family, was pregnant with a son, and also suffered from dystocia and bleeding during childbirth.

After a day’s struggle with fate, she has no strength, thinking about whether the fate of that pregnant woman will repeat itself on herself.

Fortunately, she has returned to America. The doctor gave her a blood transfusion easily and performed a caesarean section, saving the lives of mother and son.

After that, Temi, who returned to Nigeria, found:

This country is not short of blood, but information.

Because the information is not interoperable, some hospitals or blood stations store blood that has expired and thrown away, and some places have no blood available. The core issues are information and logistics.

In 2015, she founded a "life bank" based on this idea.（Lifebank）To build the largest virtual blood bank in Nigeria.

On the platform of Life Bank, the real-time reserve information of 60 large hospitals and blood banks in China is collected. Hospitals and patients can timely inquire about the nearest blood bank, the reserves of blood of different blood types and blood products, and make reservations at the first time.

Life bank, which provides information and blood distribution services, charges a service fee ranging from 10 to 50 dollars each time.

At first, motorcycles that can walk freely in the streets and lanes and speedboats that cross urban rivers were used to transport blood, and then drones were used.

Since its establishment four years ago, Life Bank has saved the lives of 5,300 Nigerians with its 7×24-hour service.

Temi said that her dream is not only the $20 million blood supply market in Africa, but also the $30 billion African medical market. In addition to transporting blood, Life Bank can also try to transport oxygen, medical equipment, vaccines and other medical supplies urgently needed in Africa.

Ibkun, a female banker familiar with Nigeria’s predicament, spoke highly of this project:

You can’t expand too fast. The market in Nigeria is huge, and your products are related to people’s lives. This sensitivity is bound to require you to be cautious in your business.

Ma spoke, serious, dry goods:

First, global vision, local success. Blood supply is enough, don’t think about anything else.

Second, it’s useless to take away ppt and show the future figures. It doesn’t matter how big the market is. Most entrepreneurs say how big the market is. The market has 10 thousand yuan, but you only earn five yuan. What’s the use?

I don’t like ppt. Your expected data in the future is very vague. Only the specific figures at present can reflect your achievements.

This is not the first time Ma Yun talked about blood in Africa.

He said something like this:

Africa needs hematopoiesis, not blood transfusion. Countries that give more money and children who give more money can’t make a difference.

What we have to do in the end is to support young people in Africa and make them change.

I hope that in the next 20 years, Africa will have at least 100 Alibaba and 1,000 Ma Yun.

During Ma Yun’s trip to Africa, an official of China’s local embassy also used a similar metaphor in his speech:

What about Africa? Ma Yun brought the answer.

One is environmental protection, and the other is the activities of Ma Yun Africa Venture Fund, which stimulates Africa’s endogenous motivation and cultivates local entrepreneurs.

Money can only be given for blood transfusion, and now it is for Africa to make its own blood.

04

Coming to this final, there are also African entrepreneurial projects created by copying the China model.

Walid Rahman, a young man from Cairo, Egypt, told a beautiful story. His project is to make an African version of Hungry.

According to him, in Egypt, more than 35% of the population and nearly 19 million Egyptians are obese. Among them, 3.6 million children are seriously overweight, but another 900,000 children suffer from anemia.

Therefore, his goal is to provide Egyptians with cheap and nutritious food and stay away from junk food.

In 2015, his online ordering platform "Mom" was launched in Cairo, employing all kinds of housewives and using the family kitchen to make food.

Users only need to pay a monthly membership fee of $9 to become members and enjoy free delivery service.

However, the reality is very skinny. In four years, Walid only attracted 7,000 users to register, and the number of orders per year was about 40,000.

Before the total population of 22.8 million in Cairo, this figure seemed to have little influence.

In contrast, China’s Hungry occupied Shanghai Jiaotong University with more than 20,000 people in the first year, and covered all of Shanghai in the second year, with more than 10,000 cooperative restaurants.

For this project that talks too much about ideas, judge Straff gave severe criticism:

I thought your scale was not good at first, but now I find there is something wrong with your figures.

When you introduce your project, you always emphasize nutrition, but it is often children who need to consider nutrition, and adults don’t have time to take care of so many nutrition problems.

You only cook so-called nutritious meals. How competitive can you be in front of Uber Eat (a takeaway service launched by Uber)?

For this project, Ma Yun pointed to the crux of the problem:

It is not a good idea to start a business, which is packaged with too many ideas and stories and lacks a business model.

Make the enterprise bigger first, and then talk about nutrition.

What an entrepreneur should do is to try to make things simple and not to put lipstick on monkeys.

The last project on stage has two CEOs. One speaks on the stage and the other sits under the stage.

Of the two people, one is good at operation and the other is good at financing strategy, so their work is generally mixed up, and whoever does it will do it. Their employees also report to both sides respectively.

A judge asked him why he didn’t come to the stage, and the CEO who came to the stage replied: His eloquence is not good, so I will speak out.

Ma Yun comments:

I had 18 founders and 20-30 businesses. It is impossible to have 20-30 CEOs. Why are there two CEOs? Four CTOs can do it, but two CEOs can’t.

A person has only one heart, so he can’t report his nose to his brain and his eyes to his heart.

Full house laughing and clapping.

After deliberation, four judges named the top three "African business heroes", and Temi, the founder of Life Bank, won the championship.

She will receive a prize of $250,000. Others share the remaining 750,000 in different amounts.

05

This time I went to Africa, Ma Yun was very busy.

In addition to participating in the "African Business Heroes", he also awarded prizes to the rangers who protected nature and animals, and visited many countries, running up to three times a day.

In every country, he was warmly received by the head of state of that country and was asked a question at the same time:

How can Africa learn from China better?

Ma Yun said to the young African people at the scene:

Seeing you is like seeing myself 20 years ago.

I tried to go to Silicon Valley for financing, and I hit a wall again and again. Because no one believes that the Internet in China will develop, and no one believes in China, because we have no credit cards and no logistics.

But because of this, there are opportunities for us entrepreneurs.

If China has everything, what else do we need?

In the past two months, Ma Yun has not been idle, even busier than before.

His schedule is full of public welfare, education, environmental protection, encouraging entrepreneurship and cultivating female leadership …

Africa is also a very important part of it.

He said:

People often ask me why China’s institutions want to protect African animals, and I want to say, why not China?

China and Africa, we live on the same earth, and we only have this earth. If the earth is sick, no one will be healthy.

Africa is a land of hope. Seeing African entrepreneurs, I feel like I saw myself 20 years ago.
