Guangdong makes it clear that minors who witness domestic violence are victims of domestic violence.

  Refine the definition of domestic violence and make it clear that it is also domestic violence that commits violations through the internet; Improve the mandatory reporting system, and include those who are unable to report due to old age, disability, serious illness, coercion, intimidation and other reasons into the protection object; Creatively expand the protection object, and make it clear that minors who witness domestic violence are victims of domestic violence …

  A few days ago, the Measures for the Implementation of the Anti-Domestic Violence Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) in Guangdong Province (hereinafter referred to as the Measures) was voted by the 22nd meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People’s Congress of Guangdong Province and will be implemented on October 1, 2020.

  It is understood that the "Measures" have a number of highlights reflecting Guangdong characteristics. The relevant person in charge of the Guangdong Women’s Federation, the drafting unit, said that it is of great significance for the Measures to innovate relevant work systems and measures and strive to build an anti-domestic violence prevention and control system with Guangdong characteristics to promote the province’s anti-domestic violence work, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of women and children, promote family harmony and maintain social stability.

  Chen Yongkang, deputy director of the Social Committee of the Guangdong Provincial People’s Congress, introduced that during the drafting of the Measures (Draft), relevant systems were established to solve the problems existing in the current anti-domestic violence work, such as unclear division of responsibilities among departments, nonstandard handling of complaints, difficulty in giving evidence to victims of domestic violence, and insufficient assistance to victims, and efforts were made to legislate against the problems and solve the problems through legislation. At the same time, learn from the experience of brother provinces, adapt to local conditions, and do not simply transplant.

  Li Mingshun, secretary of the Party Committee and professor of China Women’s University, believes that the overall characteristics of the Measures are the most striking: First, it highlights the responsibility of public power to moderately intervene in domestic violence; Second, it is emphasized that the prevention and treatment of domestic violence must adhere to the victim-oriented principle and give priority to the rescue of victims.

  It is understood that the "Measures" innovate relevant work systems and measures, presenting ten highlights.

  Highlight 1: Domestic violence is expressed by sub-items, and "freezing hunger", "stalking", "harassing" and "spreading privacy" are clearly defined as domestic violence.

  The Measures itemize domestic violence from five aspects: injury, restriction of personal freedom, threat to personal safety, mental aggression and other domestic violence. According to the needs of work practice and in response to social concerns, freezing hunger, confinement, stalking, harassment, slander and spreading privacy are clearly defined as domestic violence. Clearly through the Internet and other means to implement the relevant violations, but also domestic violence.

  Highlight 2: Anti-domestic violence implements social co-governance, and if the victim is found to face personal safety threats, he should call the police in time.

  Several articles of the Measures respectively stipulate the responsibilities and obligations of people’s organizations, village (neighborhood) committees, social organizations, enterprises and institutions to carry out anti-domestic violence. It is stipulated that any unit or individual has the right to dissuade the ongoing domestic violence, and the victim who is threatened by personal safety shall report the case to the public security organ in time.

  Highlight 3: Build a comprehensive prevention system for anti-domestic violence work, and bring domestic violence prevention work into grid management.

  The "Measures" respectively define the responsibilities of all parties concerned around strengthening the publicity and education of family virtues and anti-domestic violence laws and regulations, conducting business training, promoting the construction and sharing of information resources, and resolving conflicts and disputes between marriage and family. Among them, people’s governments at all levels are required to incorporate family education guidance services into the urban and rural public service system; Require the civil affairs department to guide the marriage registration authority and provide marriage and family counseling services for the parties involved in marriage registration; Schools and kindergartens are required to carry out self-protection awareness publicity and education for students and children.

  Highlight 4: Establish and improve the linkage mechanism of anti-domestic violence, and handle major cases with bad social impact together.

  The Measures clarify the responsibilities of the people’s governments at or above the county level to establish and improve the linkage mechanism against domestic violence. Require the first department and unit to do a good job of acceptance, follow-up and referral according to their job responsibilities; Major cases of domestic violence involving the responsibilities of multiple departments and units or cases of domestic violence with bad social impact shall be handled jointly with other relevant departments and units.

  Highlight 5: Improve the mandatory reporting system and expand the protected objects and reporting subjects.

  In terms of mandatory reporting, people who cannot report due to old age, disability, serious illness, coercion, intimidation and other reasons are included in the protection object, and people’s mediation organizations and their staff are added as the subject of mandatory reporting.

  Highlight 6: Standardize the public security organs to receive the police, and issue a warning in "four situations".

  The public security organs are explicitly required to include the domestic violence alarm in the scope of the "110" police service. After receiving the domestic violence report, they should go to the police in time, make a police record, and do a good job in stopping domestic violence, collecting evidence, finding out basic facts, assisting in rescue, identifying injuries, assisting in asylum, and informing victims of their rights. The public security organ shall accept and investigate domestic violence in violation of public security administration according to law; Anyone suspected of committing a crime shall file a case for investigation according to law. The public security organ shall issue a warning if the circumstances of domestic violence are relatively minor, and the public security administration punishment is not given according to law, which is in line with one of the four situations, such as "failure to obtain mediation from the victim".

  Highlight 7: Enrich the measures of personal safety protection orders, and you can apply for multiple protection measures, and the court will make them in batches.

  The Measures stipulate that the personal safety protection order can take the following measures: prohibition order, departure order and removal order. Where the applicant is required to apply for a number of habeas corpus measures, the people’s court may make them several times in batches.

  Highlight 8: Special chapter provides assistance to victims of domestic violence, and temporary shelters should protect the privacy of victims.

  Attach importance to the assistance to victims, and set up a special chapter on "assistance to victims of domestic violence" to provide victims with multi-level, diversified and three-dimensional assistance from temporary shelter, social assistance, legal aid and judicial assistance, covering temporary accommodation, legal needs, psychological services and difficult assistance.

  Highlight 9: Improve the family investigation system and the lawyer’s investigation and evidence collection system, and promote the solution to the problem of difficult proof.

  It is clear that in the civil action of domestic violence, if the victim cannot collect evidence by himself due to objective reasons, he can entrust a lawyer to investigate and collect relevant evidence according to law.

  Highlight 10: Creatively expand the object of protection, and minors who witness domestic violence are victims of domestic violence.

  Strengthen the protection of minors and make it clear that minors who witness domestic violence are victims of domestic violence.

Four vaccines recommended by WHO have not been included in China’s immunization program. What are the reasons?

  Vaccination is the key to immunization planning, and it is also a sharp weapon for China to deal with a series of infectious diseases such as COVID-19.

  According to the "Immunization Agenda 2030" announced by 26 institutions including the World Health Organization (WHO), the goal is to achieve 90% coverage of basic vaccines for children and adolescents by 2030, and to reduce the number of children who have not been vaccinated at all by half. The "Healthy China 2030" Planning Outline clearly stated that "the expanded national immunization program should be continued, and the vaccination rate of school-age children in the national immunization program should be maintained at a high level".

  At present, 14 kinds of vaccines under China’s immunization program can prevent 15 kinds of infectious diseases, including hepatitis A, meningitis and rubella, and the coverage population is mainly children aged 0 to 6. However, there are still four kinds of vaccines recommended by WHO that are internationally recognized as cost-effective and have not been included in China’s immunization program.

  What is the urgency and cost-effectiveness of these four vaccines for patients? How to set relevant evaluation standards? On the occasion of "World Immunization Week", CBN interviewed a number of clinical and immunization planning experts and gave their answers.

  The dilemma of high price of PCV vaccine

  The vaccines recommended by WHO but not included in China’s immunization program mainly include Hib vaccine (Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccine), HPV vaccine (human papillomavirus vaccine), PCV vaccine (streptococcus pneumoniae conjugate vaccine) and RV vaccine (rotavirus vaccine).

  "Streptococcus pneumoniae (SPN) is the main pathogen of community-acquired pneumonia and invasive infection among children in China." Zeng Mei, chief physician of the Pediatric Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said that according to multi-center research, nearly 80% of patients with invasive pneumococcal diseases are children under 5 years old. "It is urgent to vaccinate this population with streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine."

  As a pediatric clinician, Zeng Mei has been concerned about the impact of Streptococcus pneumoniae on children and the related immunization planning process for many years. For example, a multi-center clinical study covering 1138 cases of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae in children from 2012 to 2017 showed that the mortality rate of these invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae diseases was as high as 16.2%, and the proportions of meningitis, bacteremia and bacteremia caused by these diseases were 22.9%, 9.1% and 7.8 respectively.

  In terms of vaccine supply, at present, there are two kinds of PCV13-valent vaccines available in China. Among them, imported vaccines are suitable for infants aged 6 weeks to 15 months, and domestic vaccines are suitable for infants and children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. PPV23(23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine) is used for people over 2 years old who are infected with SPN and have an increased risk of IPD (invasive pneumococcal disease).

  "In China, there are obvious regional differences in deaths caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, and about 49% of deaths caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae occurred in the western region. In terms of mortality, the mortality rate in the western region is 17 per 100,000, which is about twice as high as that in other regions. " Wang Weibing, director and professor of the Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, Fudan University, said that the vaccination rate of PCV13 vaccine in Shanghai has reached almost 50% in recent years, and the risk of pneumonia can be reduced by about 82% after vaccination, but the vaccination rate in the western region is less than 1%.

  Wang Weibing further said that from the perspective of economic burden, the price of PCV vaccine in most countries covered by Gavi (Global Alliance for Vaccine Immunization) is about US$ 3.3 per dose. The price of imported PCV13 vaccine in China is about 700 yuan per dose, which still has a certain gap. "The current price also leads to the vaccine not being cost-effective in health economics." .

  It is necessary to comprehensively consider many factors such as disease, vaccine, vaccination ability and so on when vaccines are included in the immunization program. Wang Weibing told reporters that on the one hand, epidemiological evidence such as the disease burden of influenza and pneumococcal diseases in China is still insufficient. Because pneumonia, influenza and other respiratory diseases usually have similar symptoms, there are many kinds of pathogens that can cause the same disease, which makes it difficult to estimate the disease burden of vaccine-preventable diseases, and it is difficult to observe the effect after vaccination.

  On the other hand, from the point of view of vaccine supply, because PCV vaccine contains many serotypes, the production process is complex and there are certain technical barriers, which leads to the vaccine supply can not meet the needs of being included in the national immunization plan. However, with the joining of Chinese manufacturers who independently research and develop PCV vaccine, it is believed that the current situation of insufficient supply will be expected to be improved.

  Significance of free HPV vaccination

  Since the first government-led HPV vaccine free vaccination project was launched in Erdos city three years ago, at present, Guangdong, Hainan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Tibet and Chongqing provinces have also started or announced that they will launch a global HPV vaccine free vaccination program.

  According to other data, there are six kinds of HPV vaccines listed in the world, including two bivalent HPV vaccines independently developed by China (one from Wan Tai and one from watson biological). As of March 2023, 126 countries and regions have included HPV vaccine in the immunization program.

  "In terms of HPV vaccination, people’s acceptance and participation enthusiasm are higher than expected. These explorations may provide important reference for the inclusion of HPV vaccine in national immunization planning decisions." Zhang Jun, deputy dean of the School of Public Health of Xiamen University and deputy director of the National Infectious Disease Diagnostic Reagents and Vaccine Engineering Technology Research Center of Xiamen University, said in an interview.

  In Zhang Jun’s view, there is no doubt about the health damage caused by HPV infection in China. With the large and stable supply of high-quality domestic HPV vaccines and widely recognized by the public, the independent control of vaccine research and development and the long-term sustainability of supply have become a fact. "At present, HPV vaccines have not been included in the national immunization plan, and the main difficulty lies in the high cost and price of vaccines and the uncertainty of public acceptance."

  Judging from the bidding price of Jiangsu Province’s previous procurement, the bivalent HPV vaccine in watson biological was 246 yuan/piece, and the bivalent HPV vaccine in Wan Tai was 329 yuan/piece, and three shots were inoculated in the whole process. In addition, the average price of HPV tetravalent vaccine ranges from 800 to 900 yuan per dose, and the total price of three doses of HPV nine-valent vaccine is about 4,000 yuan.

  "Because the research and development cycle of HPV vaccine is generally more than 10 years, it requires high production facilities and quality control. In order to maintain a virtuous circle of market demand-R&D investment, the pricing of products should not be too low within several years of listing; This may put greater pressure on the country’s budget. " Zhang Jun analyzed the reporter.

  Du Heng, senior project officer of the Beijing Representative Office of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, believes that enterprises will make production capacity layout and arrangement according to market demand, and naturally leave production capacity to the high-priced vaccine market and people with higher payment capacity. The key population that should be vaccinated with HPV vaccine first, that is, girls aged 9-15, can guide the production behavior of enterprises through strengthening the national immunization program and large-scale procurement.

  Zhang Jun suggested that, on the one hand, a more flexible medical insurance payment mechanism could be considered. For example, formulate affordable medical insurance payment standards, where the expenses within the standards are reimbursed by medical insurance/finance, and the expenses beyond the standards are paid by individuals.

  On the other hand, on the basis of bidding and purchasing with quantity, considering increasing the time factor, relatively high prices are allowed in the first few years, so that enterprises can recover their costs as soon as possible and obtain reasonable income, maintain their enthusiasm for innovation, and quickly switch to cost pricing or market competition after a certain number of years and more diversified manufacturers, so as to ensure the sustainability of immunization planning policies.

  Implement a scientific and accurate evaluation standard path

  Professor Tang Shenglan, co-director of the Global Health Research Center of Duke University in Kunshan and head of the Innovation Laboratory of Vaccine Delivery Research, told the reporter that there have been many mature research results on the key decision-making research and the selection of vaccine varieties for introducing immunization programs for new vaccines in the world, which generally involve three types of indicators.

  The first category is indicators related to disease prevalence and burden. "For example, malaria is highly prevalent and has a high disease burden in many African countries, so it is necessary to include malaria vaccines in the immunization programs of these countries. However, malaria has been effectively controlled in China. In 2021, WHO awarded China the certification for eliminating malaria. Obviously, malaria vaccine will not be considered in the expansion of immunization programs in China. " Tang Shenglan said.

  The second kind of indicators mainly focus on the vaccine itself, including its effectiveness, safety, quality, supply capacity and health and economic benefits.

  The third category of indicators involves financial resources, manpower and material resources. Tang Shenglan analyzed in detail for the reporter. Financial resources mainly refer to whether China’s health financing mechanism can support the expansion decision. Generally speaking, if the budget is abundant this year, it will vigorously expand vaccination, and if the budget is tight next year, it will reduce vaccination coverage (the baby born next year will not be able to enjoy the plan). This obviously violates the principle of fairness. Manpower, every time a new vaccine is added to the immunization program, it means that the workload of vaccination increases and the number of possible vaccine adverse reactions increases; Correspondingly, the inoculation technology of new vaccines needs training, and the results of disease surveillance also need to be reported. Material resources include whether the vaccine distribution has cold chain conditions, whether the monitoring system can "expand" synchronously, and whether the media and grassroots science popularization have enough resources for public science popularization.

  In the next step, what specific measures and adjustments should be made in immunization planning in various places?

  Tang Shenglan suggested that, first of all, from the national level, a scientific and dynamic adjustment mechanism of immunization program catalogue can be gradually established, and based on this mechanism, the adjustment plan of national immunization program in the next 5-10 years can be defined, and the market can be shaped through this plan. At the same time, guided by health and fairness, taking into account the local disease burden, financial level and residents’ ability to pay, we will explore and support the gradual inclusion of more cost-effective vaccines in the national immunization plan in different regions, batches and steps, and include high-risk groups such as teenagers, the elderly, chronically ill patients and medical workers in the vaccination scope, so as to accelerate the realization of life-cycle vaccination.

  Secondly, it is to improve the sustainable financing mechanism of vaccines, which can establish the clear expectations of relevant enterprises for the market. "Practice in some places shows that medical insurance reimbursement or moderate subsidies can effectively incite individuals to share and improve the vaccination rate without significantly increasing the financial burden." For example, Tang Shenglan, Qinhuai District of Nanjing, for example, paid about 670,000 yuan to buy varicella vaccine through finance in 2019, accounting for only 1.10% of the basic public health service expenses in the district, but it increased the coverage rate of the first vaccination by 10 percentage points.

  Thirdly, improve the research and development of key vaccines through policy guidance. These policy guidance can include: optimizing vaccine review and approval standards, accelerating industrial transformation and upgrading, supporting joint vaccine research and development and production, and leaving room for optimizing immunization strategies; Support the domestic substitution of key vaccines to ensure a stable and sufficient supply of vaccines included in the immunization program.

  Finally, Tang Shenglan suggested that we can learn from some innovative international procurement mechanisms to balance the risks and benefits of enterprises while adjusting vaccine prices.

  "For example, in the bidding process in the UK, manufacturers are allowed to give different quotations according to different purchase quantities (often the larger the purchase quantity, the lower the price), so that economies of scale can be effectively utilized and the risks of manufacturers can be reduced. The Canadian government will require provinces or regions to estimate their demand before awarding the contract to manufacturers, and require provinces or regions to purchase at least 75% of their estimated amount, thus forming a quantitative guarantee for manufacturers. " Tang Shenglan said that China can fully learn from the experience of developed countries, start with regional pilot projects, and explore a better procurement model. While reducing the price of non-immunization vaccines, it also enhances the R&D enthusiasm of enterprises and achieves the goal of multi-win.

  Concluding remarks

  Foreword

  Energy is the foundation and motive force of human civilization and progress, which is related to the national economy, people’s livelihood and national security, human survival and development, and is of vital importance to promoting economic and social development and enhancing people’s well-being.

  Since the founding of New China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, China has gradually built a relatively complete energy industry system through self-reliance and hard work. Since the reform and opening up, China has adapted to the needs of rapid economic and social development, promoted comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable energy development, and become the largest energy producer and consumer in the world and the country with the fastest improvement in energy utilization efficiency.

  Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the development of China has entered a new era, and the energy development of China has also entered a new era. The new energy security strategy of "four revolutions and one cooperation" put forward by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader has pointed out the direction for China’s energy development in the new era and opened up a new road for China’s characteristic energy development. China adheres to the new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, with the theme of promoting high-quality development and the main line of deepening supply-side structural reform, comprehensively promotes the reform of energy consumption mode, builds a diversified and clean energy supply system, implements the innovation-driven development strategy, continuously deepens the reform of energy system, and continuously promotes international cooperation in the energy field, so that China’s energy has entered a new stage of high-quality development.

  Ecological prosperity leads to civilized prosperity. Facing the increasingly serious global problems such as climate change, environmental risk challenges and energy resource constraints, China has established the concept of a community of human destiny, promoted the overall green transformation of economic and social development, actively participated in global energy governance while striving to promote the clean and low-carbon development of its own energy, and worked with other countries to seek a new way to accelerate the sustainable development of global energy. At the general debate of the 75th United Nations General Assembly, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader announced that China will enhance its national independent contribution, adopt more effective policies and measures, and strive to reach the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. China’s energy development in the new era provides strong support for China’s sustained and healthy economic and social development, and also makes positive contributions to safeguarding world energy security, coping with global climate change and promoting world economic growth.

  In order to introduce China’s achievements in energy development in the new era and comprehensively expound China’s major policies and major measures to promote energy revolution, this white paper is issued.

  II. Historic achievements have been made in energy development

  China unswervingly pushes forward the energy revolution, with major changes in energy production and utilization, and historic achievements in energy development. The structure of energy production and consumption has been continuously optimized, the efficiency of energy utilization has been significantly improved, the conditions for energy use in production and life have been significantly improved, and the ability of energy security has been continuously enhanced, which has provided important support for the high-quality development of the service economy, winning the battle against poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way.

  (A) the ability to ensure energy supply has been continuously enhanced.

  An energy production system driven by coal, oil, gas, electricity, nuclear energy, new energy and renewable energy has basically been formed. According to preliminary calculation, the total primary energy production in China in 2019 reached 3.97 billion tons of standard coal, making it the largest energy producer in the world. Coal is still the basic energy to ensure energy supply, and the annual output of raw coal has remained at 3.41 billion-&mdash since 2012; 3.97 billion tons. Strive to maintain the stability of crude oil production, and the annual output of crude oil has remained at 190 million-&mdash since 2012; 210 million tons. Natural gas production has increased significantly, from 110.6 billion cubic meters in 2012 to 176.2 billion cubic meters in 2019. The power supply capacity has been continuously enhanced, with a cumulative installed power generation capacity of 2.01 billion kilowatts. In 2019, the power generation capacity was 7.5 trillion kWh, up 75% and 50% respectively compared with 2012. The scale of development and utilization of renewable energy has expanded rapidly, and the cumulative installed capacity of hydropower, wind power and photovoltaic power generation ranks first in the world. By the end of 2019, the installed capacity of nuclear power under construction was 65.93 million kilowatts, ranking second in the world, and the installed capacity of nuclear power under construction ranked first in the world.

  The energy transmission capacity has been significantly improved. More than 87,000 kilometers of natural gas trunk pipelines, 55,000 kilometers of oil trunk pipelines and 302,000 kilometers of transmission lines of 3.30 kV and above have been built. (See Figure 1)

  The energy reserve system has been continuously improved. Nine national oil reserve bases have been built, the construction of natural gas production, supply, storage and marketing system has achieved initial results, the coordinated support system for coal production and transportation has been gradually improved, the safe and stable operation of electric power has reached the world advanced level, and the comprehensive emergency support capability of energy has been significantly enhanced. (See Box 1)

  (B) Energy conservation and consumption structure optimization have achieved remarkable results.

  The efficiency of energy utilization has been significantly improved. Since 2012, energy consumption per unit of GDP has decreased by 24.4%, which is equivalent to reducing energy consumption by 1.27 billion tons of standard coal. From 2012 to 2019, an average annual growth of 2.8% in energy consumption supported an average annual growth of 7% in the national economy.

  (Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 21st)

  People’s Daily (10th edition, December 22, 2020)

Science has proved that laughing is healthier: laughing 100 times is equivalent to riding for 15 minutes.

  The reference news network reported on July 24. Spain’s "Fun" monthly magazine published an article in May, saying that smiling is healthier. Why do some funny things make some people laugh while others are indifferent? "I think humor is a way of looking at life and an immune mechanism at the same time," said Javier Cansado, a Spanish comedian. "I always think my children are funny, but they are not humorous. I may be able to teach them how to taste wine, but a sense of humor is innate. "

  According to the article, laughter is a widely studied behavior in the scientific community for decades, and humor shows more about what we think and feel about our relationship with others. Humor is an emotion, so it is difficult to measure.

  Capture the funny dance of neurons

  With the help of advanced neuroimaging technology, we know that humor originates from the misidentification area in the center of the brain, which is located directly above the corpus callosum connecting the left and right hemispheres. From this position, you can "supervise" all other areas of the brain that perform their duties.

  When we are listening to a joke, the sound waves emitted by words will be transmitted to the brain through electrical pulses. How can I hide an elephant in a cherry tree? Faced with such a brain teaser, the left hemisphere will immediately start sorting out information and try to guess the logical ending. At the same time, a small active area in the right hemisphere will help us imagine this narrative from a very absurd angle. In addition, we also need the help of a brain region related to processing language and memory in a short time. When the answer "dye its hooves red" appeared, the surprise broke our expectations. The error recognition area is responsible for synchronizing the logical and illogical parts of the narrative. Once an error is detected, the brain will get compensation by releasing dopamine called "happiness hormone", which will trigger laughter. "A sense of humor requires a flexible brain, because the processes of understanding a joke, finding the interesting part and laughing are highly synchronized." Natalia Lopez Moratalla, an expert in biochemistry at Navarra University, pointed out.

  According to the article, humor can stimulate positive emotions, but it may not necessarily eliminate negative emotions. In fact, in a sad atmosphere such as a funeral, sometimes we can’t help laughing. Although it seems very rude, it is just a way to deal with existing emotions. Humor can even help us get closer to others in tense moments.

  The same effect as doing exercise.

  Lisa Rosenberg, a researcher at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, analyzed how humor can help in jobs that require quick and accurate decisions. "Joking often can relax our brains and increase our objectivity in the face of great pressure." Rosenberg said. Humor and its most common expression, laughter, are not only very useful to us as a psychological defense mechanism, but also bring benefits to our bodies. First of all, laughter is an aerobic exercise, and the exercise effect achieved by laughing for 100 times is equivalent to riding a bicycle for 15 minutes. In addition, the health of laughter lies in "accelerating the heart rate and supplying oxygen to the brain", Moratalla said, "People with a sense of humor have healthier immune mechanisms, the probability of myocardial infarction will be reduced by about 40%, and the average life expectancy will be increased by four and a half years".

  According to the article, many scientists suggest laughing for at least 15 minutes every day, because laughter may even have the effect of "painkiller". A scientific team at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania, USA, found in the experiment that if people happened to watch a drama before being shocked, the pain they felt would be less intense. The reason is that laughter can promote the production of endorphins, which are considered to be the natural "morphine" secreted by the body.

  "Obviously, laughter and humor can’t cure the pain by themselves, but they can bring benefits to diseases with low pain, such as fibromyalgia, and can also relieve emotional disorders, anxiety and depression." Manuel Arias Gomez, an expert from the Spanish Society of Neurology, said.

  Laughter therapy

  Therefore, the so-called "laughter therapy" has appeared as an auxiliary method in the treatment of some diseases. More and more hospitals have recruited volunteers, usually artists, to bring warmth to the cold hospital environment. At present, a number of organizations have sprung up in Spain, such as Smile Doctor of theodora Foundation, Clowns Without Borders, and Smile Medicine, which are dedicated to promoting the laughter therapy.

  Madrid psychologist Begonia Cabello has devoted herself to studying the relationship between health and humor and how it can be used by medical staff for many years. "I don’t think enough attention is paid to the way to help patients relieve their pain through emotions." She pointed out.

  "It turns out to be really effective: when the patient is refreshed, the recovery situation can be more ideal. This has been verified not only in children and patients, but also in adults and the elderly. " Cabello said. Humor, like exercise, is our best "tonic", a healthy living habit and the most accessible "medicine". (Compile/Han Chao)

Hubei strictly abides by the last link of epidemic prevention "combination boxing" to improve the disposal capacity of medical waste

  Safe disposal of medical waste is an important measure to cut off the route of virus transmission and prevent secondary pollution. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the wastes produced by designated medical institutions in Hubei Province have been classified, collected and treated harmlessly in strict accordance with the standards, and the whole process of disposal has been regularly supervised and enforced, keeping the last pass of epidemic prevention.

  "Combination boxing" improves disposal ability

  In order to ensure the timely, orderly, efficient and harmless disposal of medical wastes, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Hubei has achieved "one special class, one capacity, one scheme and one temporary storage" to strengthen the emergency reception and disposal capacity of medical wastes.

  While the existing disposal companies are operating at full capacity, Hubei Province has upgraded and upgraded a number of factories and facilities, which can be used as emergency disposal units at any time. Huanggang Hongyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Huaxin Environmental Protection Company have completed the trial operation of emergency disposal, and the incineration facilities of Shiyan Dongfeng Environmental Protection Company have been maintained and overhauled, with emergency capability.

  In the process of medical waste transportation, it is managed by special personnel, collected in time, recorded, classified and stored, and transported by special vehicle, and special transportation tools for preventing leakage and spillage are used. Provide personal protective materials and conduct daily temperature monitoring for relevant front-line operators to ensure safety.

  In addition, the eco-environmental system of Hubei Province regularly supervises and enforces the whole disposal process to ensure the full coverage and treatment of medical wastes. Shiyan City has carried out several rounds of special law enforcement inspections on medical wastes; Huanggang City checks the sewage treatment facilities and medical waste storage rooms of township hospitals and other medical institutions every day to block the secondary transmission.

  According to the emergency disposal requirements of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, all cities and states in Hubei Province have built emergency storage warehouses for medical wastes, with an emergency storage capacity of 1,552.6 tons. Seventeen temporary storage warehouses for medical wastes have been built in Wuhan, with a total storage capacity of 1,118.6 tons. The province has put into operation 35 medical waste (emergency) disposal units, with a total of 1391 front-line staff. At the same time, we actively strive to bring the support policy for medical waste disposal enterprises into the scope of the provincial government’s support for small and medium-sized enterprises to tide over the difficulties, and coordinate Xiangyang Zhongyou Youyi Company to invest 35 medical waste transport vehicles and huaxin cement Company to invest 4 vehicles to support Wuhan’s medical waste transfer work free of charge.

  Strictly observe the last link of epidemic prevention

  Collection, handling and loading … … Unlike the hospital linens collected in the past, Luo Jun collected linens infected by COVID-19 virus in dozens of hospitals in Wuhan these days. Luo Jun is the head of the logistics department of Hubei Renfu Medical Service Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Renfu Pharmaceutical Group, which mainly provides services such as washing, disinfection and distribution of medical fabrics.

  After the linen was transported back to the company, according to the standard operation flow, Luo Jun drove the truck to the designated isolation area, unloaded it with his colleagues and sorted it, and then the colleagues pulled the sorted linen into the isolation area for sorting, washing and disinfection, and finally disinfected the vehicle.

  In Wuhan Jiangxia First People’s Hospital, medical waste was put into the yellow trash can marked with "Medical Waste", and then transported out of the hospital’s garbage outlet and sent to the medical waste emergency treatment system. "All medical waste barrels are disinfected before leaving the hospital, and then disinfected after being shipped out." According to Zhao Yanni, the person in charge of the medical waste emergency treatment point, the medical waste collected from the ward at ordinary times will be sent to the hospital’s temporary storage, which has a disposal center and will be transported to the disposal point by a professional team. However, Wuhan’s current transportation capacity and terminal disposal capacity are tight. In this case, the medical waste collected in the ward is treated harmlessly on the spot through the medical waste emergency treatment system.

  Disinfected medical waste barrels are placed in the temporary storage area of medical waste, and emergency treatment is carried out in batches. The medical waste emergency treatment system includes six links: feeding, sterilization, discharging, transportation and unloading. It takes about 80 minutes to load and unload. The staff pushes one barrel of medical waste to the feeding station at a time. After automatic control, lifting and tipping, the waste is poured into the sterilization trolley and enters the high-temperature sterilization chamber.

  Sterilization is the core link of the whole system. The reporter saw in the First People’s Hospital of Jiangxia, Wuhan that the medical waste emergency treatment system entered the hospital in a whole vehicle and was disposed of at a fixed point. Wei Bin, general manager of Qidi Environmental Solid Waste and Renewable Resources Center, the provider of the system, introduced that the temperature in the sterilization chamber is above 135℃, the working pressure is 0.23 MPa, and the high-temperature steam sterilization is required to last for more than 45 minutes. After the waste is treated up to standard, it is discharged, transferred to the transportation station, placed in a sealed plastic bag, and translated to the unloading station. The treated medical waste, like domestic waste, is removed by the sanitation system and sent to the nearest waste incineration site.

  During the epidemic period, the amount of medical waste produced in Wuhan is several times higher than before, and a number of new technologies and products for disinfection have become the main force of medical waste treatment. The "medical waste virus killing device" jointly developed by Hubei Guanghui Energy Saving Technology Co., Ltd. and Institute of Electronics, China Academy of Engineering Physics uses microwaves to irradiate the medical waste in the container, so that the medical waste can automatically heat up, which can effectively kill bacteria and viruses. The "Environmental Protection Medical Waste Incinerator" developed by Hubei Weitian Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. covers an area of less than 10 square meters. It can complete desulfurization and denitrification of flue gas while burning medical waste, and can handle 2 tons to 4 tons of medical waste every day.

  Basically realize Nissan Nissin.

  In other cities and prefectures in Hubei, the capacity of medical waste disposal has been continuously enhanced, and the daily production has basically been achieved.

  "At present, the daily disposal of medical waste is about 20 tons." Xu Yang, director of Xiangyang Hazardous Solid Waste Management Center, introduced that Hubei Zhongyou Youyi Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. was urgently approved by the city to start the emergency disposal of medical waste. This company is a hazardous waste disposal enterprise adopting rotary kiln incineration disposal technology, with a daily disposal capacity of 30 tons to 40 tons. Together with two other disposal enterprises, it can fully meet the needs of harmless disposal of wastes generated by designated diagnosis and treatment hospitals and centralized medical observation points in the city at present, and all medical wastes can be collected, transported and disposed daily.

  On February 14th, huaxin cement (Yichang) Co., Ltd. successfully put the second cement kiln collaborative medical waste disposal system into trial operation. So far, the emergency collaborative disposal capacity of medical waste in huaxin cement has reached 10 tons/day. Together with the original medical waste disposal capacity of Sander Company and Qiduoyun Company of 21 tons/day, Yichang has formed a disposal capacity of 31 tons/day, and all medical wastes can be collected separately, transported safely and disposed harmlessly.

  On February 26th, Yichang started the action of cleaning and rectifying rural domestic garbage. At present, the competent departments of counties and cities in Yichang have set up special working groups, focusing on four key points: cleaning and cleaning, garbage removal, disinfection of facilities and equipment, and collection and disposal of discarded masks. According to the working mechanism of "household classification, group cleaning, village collection, town transfer and county treatment", the village environmental sanitation and cleaning operations are carried out, and the rural "combat unit" for epidemic prevention and control is strictly adhered to.

  Wang Sihai, deputy general manager of Huanggang Longzhong Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. said that the average daily medical waste collected, transported and disposed in the city is about 15 tons, which is twice the normal disposal amount (7 tons/day) and more than three times the usual volume. "The company strictly operates the process and tries its best to maximize the disposal capacity."

  "Although the medical waste received every day is more than usual, the company is running well, ensuring the daily production of medical waste." As the only qualified hazardous waste disposal enterprise in Xianning City, Chen Zhou, manager of the production department of Hubei Huichu Hazardous Waste Disposal Co., Ltd., told the reporter that they will definitely hold the "last link" of the epidemic prevention work of medical waste disposal.

  On February 16th, the doctor named Piao Piao Sao was discharged from the hospital and went home for 6 days. Half a month ago, she thought she would never come back.

  Recalling the 20 days from illness to critical illness to recovery, Piao Piao sighed that "the disease developed rapidly beyond imagination". As a medical worker, she wants to remind all the patients who are being treated with her own experience that COVID-19’s clinical manifestations are diverse, with different degrees of severity, and her condition changes quite quickly, sometimes within a few hours. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are the key. Especially when there is any discomfort in your body, don’t bear it. You must inform the doctor at the first time, which is probably the key point to decide life and death.

  For hours, I was so asymptomatic that I couldn’t walk

  I have been sitting there since the emergency department was changed into a fever clinic.

  On the morning of January 23rd, I took my temperature as usual: normal. I ate a bowl of egg noodles and rushed to the hospital. On that day, there were still many patients.

  At 9 o’clock in the morning, I received a notice from the hospital, asking us to take time to do a CT scan. I usually have the habit of fitness, and my health has always been very good. My colleagues call me Iron Man. But I took the CT as required. "There is something wrong with the film, 4 places!" When I got the CT results, my heart thumped and I began to think about when I was recruited.

  I have taken my temperature every morning since I went to the fever clinic. On the 22nd, there were a lot of patients. Although they called each other, there were several patients and their families standing in front of me as soon as they entered the clinic. The head nurse was worried that the air in the clinic would not circulate, so she opened the window. I sat by the window and felt a little cold, so I closed the window. She was worried that the air in the clinic was not circulating, and I felt cold. We kept opening and closing the windows, perhaps because of the cold, or because we were too tired to work overtime for several days in a row. In short, our immunity declined. This is the only reason I can think of.

  I don’t have a fever, and I don’t have any symptoms. I should be in the early stage. I should be able to get well soon when I go home to take medicine. I quickly diagnosed myself. I went to the pharmacy to get moxifloxacin, oseltamivir, Abidor tablets and Lianhua Qingwen capsules, and went back to the office to pack my things and go home. Feeling a little hot in my head, I took out a thermometer and measured it: 38.7 degrees. I have a fever. I decided to go home at once.

  It only takes five or six minutes to walk from home to the hospital. When I get home, I’m going to take a bath and then sleep. Before I entered the bathroom, I began to have a severe headache and vomiting, and I had no energy at all. "I heard that you were recruited?" My brother called. "There is something wrong with taking CT, and people are a little uncomfortable. I won’t tell you first." At this time, I have no strength to hold my mobile phone, and I just want to hang up quickly.

  My husband went back to his hometown, and I was the only one at home. At this point, my whole body is extremely weak. The disease is developing so fast that I didn’t expect it. I must go to the hospital at once. The director’s phone call came in. He was infected a week earlier than me, saying that he knew my situation and immediately sent someone to pick me up at the gate of the community. From home to the door of the community, it usually takes only two or three minutes, and I walked for more than 20 minutes that day. For the first time, I feel that the road is so difficult and long. If only someone could carry me. A doctor and two nurses in the emergency department were already waiting at the door, and they pushed me to the hospital by flat car.

  The fever has gone down, and I thought I was getting better.

  I was admitted to the hospital. Woke up again, it was the next afternoon, and I had a high fever for a day and a night.

  After treatment, the body temperature dropped quickly. During my stay in the Eighth Hospital, my temperature was high and low, and I kept sweating repeatedly, and I had to change several sets of underwear a day. The most uncomfortable thing is headache and severe fatigue. The nurse came to give me an injection, and I didn’t even have the strength to raise my hand. I have no appetite at all. I only ate two or two porridge for five days in hospital.

  On the fifth day, the results of nucleic acid test came out: positive, and I was diagnosed as COVID-19. My husband was very worried about me, so he asked someone to buy albumin and globulin for me, but my temperature never dropped to normal. On the eighth day, I was informed that I was transferred to Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan for further treatment.

  There were four people on a transfer car, and there was no oxygen on the car. I opened my mouth as wide as possible and kept panting. "How long will it take to get there?" We kept asking along the way, and it seemed that there was no end in sight for more than 10 minutes.

  At 1: 00 noon on the 30th, I was admitted to an ordinary isolation ward on the second floor of Jinyintan Hospital, where the attending team was the Shanghai medical team. After hormone shock therapy, my fever dropped the next morning, my chest suddenly became clear, I felt much more comfortable and my spirit improved.

  I breathed a sigh of relief and thought that my condition was developing in a good direction.

  On the third day of transfer, his condition turned sharply and he was dying.

  February 1st, 10th day of hospitalization, 3rd day of transfer.

  No one expected that my condition would suddenly take a turn for the worse at night: I had difficulty breathing and a severe cough, as if my heart would pop out at any time after running 10 thousand meters. The heart rate is very slow, and there is an indescribable chest pain sweeping through the body. If you move a little, you will be in pain. I think this should be the second counterattack of the virus.

  I am a doctor. According to the symptoms, I judged that I had endocarditis and pericardial effusion, so I quickly told the doctor about my situation. I vaguely heard the nurse say that "the situation is not very good, and people are dying." I don’t think I can make it tonight myself. Thinking that I might never see my husband and daughter again, I struggled to get through to my husband. "I can’t … …” Hearing this sentence, my husband cried with a "wow". Every time I say a word, my chest pains are suffocating. I can only pick the most worrying things and make a simple explanation to him.

  Soon, the nurse came to draw blood and the doctor added medicine to me. The next day, my test results came out, pericarditis. The doctor said, fortunately, I spoke early and won valuable time for them to deal with it. My life was saved by myself.

  After that, my situation improved day by day. On the eighth day, I felt that I had recovered almost, and applied for CT and nucleic acid examination. I heard that I wanted to leave the hospital, but my husband worried that I was not well and advised me to stay a few more days. I can’t occupy such precious medical resources. I have to make room for patients who need urgent treatment. In order to reassure him, I sent him photos of three meals a day, and also asked my patients to help me take a video of my exercise in the ward and send it to him.

  On February 11th, I was discharged from the hospital. After life and death, it seems like a lifetime ago. When my husband came to pick me up, he specially brought the changes of my illness that he recorded for me every day for 20 days. Seeing the familiar fonts on the desk calendar, I burst into tears. Only after experiencing life and death can we know that living is really happy.

  I’ll be isolated at home for another eight days, and then I can go to work. I am very grateful to my colleagues in the hospital for their care and support, and to all the medical staff of the Shanghai Medical Team of Jinyintan Hospital for their meticulous treatment. I want to go to the battlefield again and fight with my brothers and sisters to the end. I want to see Wuhan filled with fireworks as soon as possible. When the quarantine expires, I will donate plasma and treat more patients with my own blood. (Reporter Liu Xuan)

Drinking tea is bad for the heart? Actually, it’s the wrong way

  China is the hometown of tea. Chinese has discovered and used tea for thousands of years, and many people like drinking tea very much. However, there is news on the Internet recently that drinking tea is bad for the heart and may even lead to heart disease. Is it true?/You don’t say.

  In fact, drinking tea is not bad for the heart, and it may even be beneficial — — This should start with the special ingredients in tea. Tea is usually rich in flavonoid antioxidants, such as tea polyphenols and catechins, which give tea an attractive fragrance. In addition, tea also contains a lot of caffeine. In the process of making tea, some of these substances will dissolve into the tea. Therefore, tea is actually a drink containing a variety of plant antioxidants and caffeine.

  Tea is rich in antioxidant substances such as tea polyphenols, which can scavenge human free radicals and have certain benefits to health. Judging from a large number of current studies, drinking tea is good for the heart and cardiovascular system — — It may significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke by reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ("bad cholesterol").

  A study in Journal of American Heart Association took six years to analyze the relationship between the change of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level in the blood of more than 80,000 Chinese and drinking tea. The results show that the HDL-C level of people who insist on drinking tea for a long time decreases more slowly, and the risk of cardiovascular diseases decreases by 8%, which is beneficial to cardiovascular health.

  China’s "Food and Health-Scientific Evidence and Consensus" summarizes and analyzes the research on tea and health, and thinks that drinking tea can reduce the risk of diabetes, stroke and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it can be considered that drinking tea is not only harmless to the heart, but also beneficial.

  However, because tea contains caffeine, some people drink too much tea, which will lead to discomfort such as palpitations, so some people worry that drinking tea is not good for the heart. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon, which is called "tea drunk" by the people. As long as you drink it in moderation, there will be no problem.

  At present, the international research on caffeine is relatively sufficient, and authoritative health institutions believe that moderate drinking of coffee and caffeine will not cause damage to the heart. For example, the American Heart Association, the European Heart Association, the Australian National Institute of Health and Medical Research and other institutions believe that healthy adults drinking coffee in moderation (1 to 2 cups a day, about 200 milligrams of caffeine) will not increase the risk of heart disease and cardiovascular disease.

  Compared with coffee, there is much less caffeine in tea. The caffeine content in a cup of tea is usually only 40 to 80 mg, which is less than half that of an equivalent cup of coffee. Therefore, it is no problem to drink 3 to 4 cups of light tea, such as white tea and green tea every day; For some strong tea, such as black tea, the caffeine content will be more, but drinking 2 cups will not be a problem. Of course, if your heart and head are really uncomfortable after drinking tea, try not to drink or drink less.

  According to the data of China Cardiovascular Disease Report 2017, the number of cardiovascular patients in China has reached 290 million, and cardiovascular deaths account for 40% of the deaths of residents, which is higher than tumors and other diseases, ranking first; Moreover, the morbidity and mortality are still on the rise. From the current research, maybe drinking some tea every day can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is beneficial to the body.

  It is worth noting that many people may drink tea in the wrong way. How can drinking tea be beneficial to health?

  First, don’t drink too much tea or drink too much tea. Drinking a lot of tea, in addition to too much and too strong caffeine intake, tannic acid in tea may also affect the absorption of iron, which is not good for health — — It is recommended not to drink more than 4 cups of tea every day. Second, drinking tea every day is best arranged in the afternoon, not too late, so as not to affect sleep. What needs special reminder is that you should try to stay away from sugary tea drinks. At present, there is no evidence that sugary tea drinks also have cardiovascular protection. Therefore, tea drinks should not be used instead of drinking tea, let alone deliberately drinking tea drinks to protect cardiovascular health.

4-year valuation of 8 billion, the birth of dark horse Netease cloud music

Tiger Sniff Note: Yesterday (April 11th), Netease Cloud Music announced the completion of the A round of financing. As a latecomer in the music industry, Netease Cloud Music became a "dark horse" with a valuation of 8 billion in four years. What did they do right?

This article in Caijing World reviews the growth track of Netease Cloud Music, including the origin and project establishment of the product.Tiger sniffing in the previous articleIt has been involved, so it was deleted when it was reproduced in this article.

This article is transferred from Financial World (ID: cjtxzk) | edited by Lu Hualei in Kong Mingming | Li Ran.

Netease Cloud Music, an App with a deep red background, has become an out-and-out dark horse in the online music market, and it will face more tests in the future with the great integration of the industry.

On April 11th, Netease Cloud Music held a press conference in Shanghai, announcing that the number of users exceeded 300 million. At the same time, it announced that it had completed the Series A financing of 750 million yuan, which was led by Shanghai Radio Station and Shanghai Culture, Radio, Film and Television Group (SMG). The valuation of this financing was as high as 8 billion yuan, and Netease Cloud Music, which was only launched for 4 years, was among the unicorn clubs.

Just after the New Year, the singer Zhao Lei’s name was brushed all over the circle of friends.

 

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.

 

▲ In Netease Cloud Music, the name Zhao Lei has long been as hot as Jay Chou.

 

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.

Special effects of storytelling: Walking into the visual effects team behind One Step Away


Special feature of 1905 film network In an office building in Dongcheng District, Jan Heinze, executive producer of PIXOMONDO, opened his eyes wide in front of the camera: "China is an exciting market. We have only been here for five years and have witnessed its tremendous changes, which are unbelievable. "


Just last week, Jiang Wen’s highly anticipated new work "One Step Away" was officially released. After a series of twists and turns, such as censorship, dubbing, and the cancellation of the premiere, One Step Away confidently entered the cinema and left the heated discussion to the fans. As of December 23rd, the cumulative box office of One Step Away has reached 380 million yuan. The magnificent colors and dreamy style of the film must still stay in your mind, and it is the German "Oscar-level" special effects company PIXOMONDO that helped Jiang Wen create this "magic realism" masterpiece. Recently, 1905 Film Network visited PIXOMONDO Beijing Branch exclusively to reveal the special effects industry hidden behind the film.


"Boutique-style" operation: resource sharing for 8 branches in the global market.


Maybe you haven’t heard of PIXOMONDO at all, but its works can list a must-see list for fans: Hugo, iron man 2, The Hunger Games, Snow White and the Hunter, Fast and Furious 5, Farewell Atlantis, Star Trek: Dark Boundless … … PIXOMONDO won the Best Visual Effects Award (Hugo) at the 84th Academy Awards in 2012 and the Best Special Effects Award (Game of Thrones) at the 63rd Emmy Awards. How did this mysterious behind-the-scenes team work, and how did they get together with director Jiang Wen?

Ten years ago, many films had almost no special effects, but now it is different. Even a small-budget love movie will have several special effects shots. "If you look at last year’s box office data, you will find that the top ten are special effects blockbusters. For filmmakers, special effects are tools that can shoot things that are impossible in reality, help explain the stories in movies, and create a whole new world. " Jan believes that special effects can actually be divided into two categories. Due to technical reasons, some special effects are easily visible to the audience, while others are more reflected in the imagination, which helps to increase the richness of the story.


Christoph Zollinger (hereinafter referred to as Chris), the visual effects producer of One Step Away, added: "Special effects make the visual elements and story statements of a movie more complete. For sci-fi films, which are particularly dazzling, artistic drive and technical means are indispensable. Fortunately, now is the digital age, and we can easily make many pictures that we can’t shoot in reality. Special effects producers are also storytellers and filmmakers to explore and realize those unknown things. "


Pixomondo was founded in Germany in 2001, with 8 studios in the United States, Canada, Germany and China. Unlike those big companies with 500 or 600 employees, PIXOMONDO’s eight studios are not large in scale, and the most special thing is that they have a clear division of labor and cooperation with each other. "We are more like a boutique. We focus on a variety of markets around the world, and Hollywood is just one of them. " Jan shrugged his shoulders, as if he was helpless about people’s prejudice against special effects. Every studio in PIXOMONDO will share talents, resources, film projects and so on, and sometimes eight studios will start work at the same time for a film. "We started five when we were doing One Step away."

To do special effects, you should also be able to "tell stories": "One step away" takes a year and a half to set the picture style.


It is said that Jiang Wencai found PIXOMONDO on the recommendation of martin scorsese. Perhaps it is the dazzling colors of European movies in Hugo that attracted him, or the same retro storyline is more likely to resonate. PIXOMONDO visual artists began to get involved in the film project one and a half years before the filming of One Step Away. Chris stressed: "Compared with previous film projects, this one is very different. PIXOMONDO Beijing Studio played a leading role for the first time. "

In people’s impression, special effects seem to be just a processing link on the film production line, such as ornaments on the Christmas tree, which are responsible for creating a glamorous appearance. Jan corrected in the interview: "Nowadays, special effects companies will not define themselves by what kind of technological means. Post-production is just a means. We should think about how to combine technology with storytelling and become a director or screenwriter ourselves." Hundreds of people participated in the production of One Step Away, and PIXOMONDO was involved in the pre-planning from the beginning to help determine the overall visual style of the film.


Retired Ma Yun went to participate in the African version of "Win in China"

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.

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.

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.
