Apple announced the launch of a self-service maintenance plan. How can consumers avoid pits when maintaining digital products?

  The more mobile phones are used, the more cards are used, the less durable the batteries are, and the screen accidentally falls to the ground and "blooms" … … Digital products, as the daily necessities of most people, are frequently used and need maintenance. However, many consumers are discouraged by the price of hundreds of thousands of dollars for maintenance in specialty stores. Recently, Apple announced that it will launch a self-service maintenance plan, which will allow customers to obtain original Apple parts and tools and repair their own equipment. It is reported that the plan will be first launched in the United States from early next year, and will be extended to other countries and regions in 2022 or later.

  In this regard, consumers hold two different attitudes — — Some consumers think that "you can repair it yourself and save money", while others think that this is "a new business of Apple, and you can make money by selling maintenance-related products, and you don’t have to be responsible for the maintenance results". These feedbacks all reflect the problem that some digital products are expensive to maintain at present. In order to understand the current digital product maintenance market, the reporter visited some maintenance stores to understand the situation, and learned from the industry how to avoid maintenance "stepping on thunder".

  Consumers are divided into three categories — — "Self-sufficiency", "Official Channels" and "Maintenance Stores"

  When it comes to digital product maintenance, many consumers complain to reporters. These consumers can be roughly divided into three categories — — "self-sufficiency", "official channels" and "maintenance stores". Among them, the self-service service launched by Apple this time meets the needs of "self-sufficiency". The reporter learned that many young people will choose to buy materials online and repair them themselves, which is more convenient and cheaper to maintain.

  Digitalist Xiao Kai told reporters that because his Xiaomi 8 mobile phone is a special version, the back cover of the mobile phone is transparent glass. After the back cover of the mobile phone broke, he bought the corresponding model back cover on the shopping platform and replaced it himself. "I also changed a battery by the way, and bought a battery produced by a big brand, which cost less than 90 yuan in total." On the corresponding after-sales service website, the reporter learned that if the battery cover and battery need to be replaced outside the warranty period, the material cost plus labor cost will cost about 369 yuan.

  But not every consumer has the ability of self-maintenance, so some consumers will choose some third-party repair shops to maintain their damaged digital products.

  "My computer is out of order because I spilled coffee." According to Miss Qian, a white-collar worker, after she went to the official store and learned that the maintenance would cost thousands of dollars, she went to the computer city to find a repair shop under the guidance of a "knowledgeable" friend. After the repair, the owner told her that "the failure was because some panels were corroded by coffee, just weld them", so she followed the owner’s suggestion and repaired the computer for about 800 yuan. "I haven’t found any problems in the past few years." Miss Qian said.

  The reporter learned by visiting the relevant repair shops that many stores provide all-round digital repair services with all kinds of accessories. Some shopkeepers even told reporters that they have corresponding online stores. If you need to repair electronic products, you can make an appointment online to purchase services, and the maintenance master will go directly to the consumer’s home for repair.

  Chaos! The repair shop said that the product was "original" but could not be inspected.

  In many repair shops, shopkeepers will tell reporters that there are "original" and "non-original" accessories, and the prices of different products are also different. For example, the price of batteries is almost doubled. The price of "original" apple batteries in a store is 218 yuan, and the price of "non-original" apple batteries is 128 yuan.

  "Many repair shops can’t guarantee the quality, even if they are not original, they are original, and bullying consumers doesn’t understand." Recalling her painful experience, photography enthusiast Ahua said indignantly that the mobile phone could not be turned on because of water. Although the style was old, she still planned to spend money to repair it in order to take out the photos in the mobile phone, so she chose the private repair shop downstairs nearby. "At that time, after a simple inspection, the owner said that the screen batteries were flooded, and it was suggested to replace them. He also said that there were two battery options, one hundred yuan for non-original and two hundred yuan for original. Finally, we chose the original battery and the non-original screen, which cost more than 300 yuan. The phone can be turned on after repair, but it is formatted and the original photo cannot be taken. " According to Ahua, the non-original screen turned blue after reinstallation, and it was uncomfortable to look at the eyes. Not long after, even if the mobile phone was fully charged, it could not be successfully turned on, "wasting hundreds of dollars."

  Expensive! Official channel maintenance "expensive price" has been criticized.

  In the face of market chaos, many consumers often choose to go to official stores for maintenance in order to reduce risks, but for the maintenance services of stores, the most profound impression of many consumers is "expensive". "The newly bought smart watch broke as soon as it fell off the screen. When I asked about changing the screen, it actually cost 2309 yuan. It was almost catching up with the price of the whole machine when I bought it. It was better to buy another one." Miss Qian told reporters. The reporter found that the current price of Miss Qian’s watch on a shopping platform is 2899 yuan.

  Coincidentally, Miss Yuan, a writer, also "fell" and spent thousands of dollars on maintenance. "This year, my Apple computer fell, and then the engineer took it for evaluation. It was diagnosed that the internal screen was broken, and the screen could not be changed for maintenance. The first half of the monitor had to be replaced. The price was more than 3,000 yuan, and the discounted price was 2,900 yuan." Miss Yuan told the reporter that she compared a repair shop in Bainaohui at that time. The other party said that she would change it to a brand-new 2900 yuan, a brand-new better 2500 yuan and a defective 2300 yuan. Because the price difference is not big, she still chose to repair it in the official store.

  Faced with high maintenance costs, some consumers will choose to fight for more rights and interests by extending the warranty service, but some extended warranty services do not seem to be fully recognized by consumers. Xiaochen bought Apple care and extended the warranty period, but only used the maintenance service once during the validity period and replaced the screen at a preferential price of 188 yuan. "I don’t want to continue now, I feel unnecessary." Xiao Yan said.

  It is understood that the new self-service maintenance plan launched by Apple can help some users to repair products themselves with Apple’s official accessories at a lower price. On the other hand, it can also allow some users to choose to buy official parts and hand them over to professionals for maintenance, saving maintenance costs and ensuring product quality.

  Pit prevention tips

  Try to go to an authorized entity store for repair.

  How to avoid stepping on pits when repairing digital products? The reporter interviewed Xiao Lei, an insider in the maintenance industry. Xiao Lei said that there are some problems in the current maintenance market, such as unreasonable charges by maintenance personnel, opaque maintenance price, stealing hardware, reporting minor faults to major faults, and shoddy products. Therefore, consumers should try their best to avoid after-sales service or maintenance sites with bad reputation during the maintenance of digital products.

  "It is necessary to understand the maintenance methods and officially authorized maintenance points through the official channels of product brands, and try to go to authorized physical stores for maintenance. In particular, try to avoid the product from being out of sight during the maintenance process. " He said that if you need to send it for repair, you should back up and save your personal data in advance, such as taking out your mobile phone card and memory card, and restoring your mobile phone to its factory settings to avoid the disclosure of personal privacy information. In addition, he also stressed the need to keep relevant maintenance and transaction vouchers after the completion of maintenance services, so as to facilitate tracing afterwards.

Cultivated land becomes a "challenge" Wenshan’s first spring ploughing festival skill competition is hot!


March 11

The First Spring Farming Festival of "Pomegranate Red" Series Activities in Pingyuan District of Wenshan Prefecture

Held in Hongdian Township, wenshan city.

March 10

Some industrial skills competitions took the lead in the hot start.

Planting yam, peeling yam, and estimating cattle.

Three competitions staged a wonderful showdown.

  Planting yam

  The red land of the Hui nationality township in Hongdian was surrounded by villagers, and 40 "masters" of planting yam were divided into 8 groups to compete at the same time. I saw the contestants armed with working tools ready to go. With the command, each group acted quickly, comparing methods, spelling speed, fertilizing, planting seeds and covering soil, and several processes were completed in one go. One yam seed was planted in spring.

  After fierce competition, the team from Maoke Village became "experts in planting yam". Contestant Ma Longwei said excitedly, "I have been planting yam for many years. Today’s competition is very lively and happy. It is such an opportunity to show our skills, and everyone can communicate with each other and learn a lot. It also makes me more confident in planting yam."

  Peel yam

  Peeling is also a necessary skill for everyone in Hongdian. In the peeling workshop of Honghong Breeding Farmers’ Professional Cooperative in Hongdian Township, an intense competition for peeling yam is going on. The contestants line up, hold the yam in one hand and the peeling knife in the other, and fly up and down, and they can cut one in 10 seconds, which is clean and neat.

  After 30 minutes of fierce competition, the judges judged the players according to the weight and cleanliness of the yam. In the end, Ma Mengmei, a contestant, scored 39.4 Jin in 10 minutes and won the first prize in the yam cutting competition. "I’m very happy to get the first place. I usually work here, and I’ve long known the skills of cutting yam. Through this competition, I can let more people know about our Hongdian yam and make it bigger and bigger. I feel very happy. " Ma Mengmei said.

  Cattle estimation race

  In addition to the yam competition, the "one cow" in Hongdian is not to be outdone. On the side of the cattle evaluation competition, 20 "cattle experts" from Hongdian Township gathered here. One by one "cattle people" showed their housekeeping skills and used their "eyes" to observe the cow skeleton, appearance, lines, etc., and estimated the weight of the cow. As a result, the player closest to the true weight of the cow won.

  After weighing, Yang Haimu from Maoke Village won the final victory with a minimum of 36kg, and became the "king of cattle evaluation" in the cattle evaluation competition. "I have raised cattle for decades. I usually deal with cattle. Today, the estimated cattle are a few kilograms short and won the first place in the small group. I am very happy. I will continue to raise cattle well in the future, for our ‘ Cattle ’ Industry adds strength. " Yang Haimu said.

  It is understood that the awarding ceremony of the first, second and third prizes selected in the various competitions of the industrial arena will be held at the first spring ploughing festival held on March 11.

  It is understood that "one cow, one medicine" is the two pillar industries in Hongdian Township. There are 12,240 beef cattle (including 2,345 cows) in the township, and 7,306 cows are slaughtered, with an output value of 33.09 million yuan. At present, a total of 15,000 mu of Chinese yam has been planted, including four varieties: Ganoderma lucidum yam, Weiguang yam, glutinous rice yam and purple yam. The output can reach 52,000 tons, and the output value can reach 160 million yuan, driving the surrounding towns to plant 40,000 mu of Chinese yam.

China’s first English proficiency assessment standard was released.

  On December 16, 2017, candidates waited and prepared for the exam outside the CET-4 and CET-6 test center of Shandong Liaocheng University. Photo by Gu Hetian Qi/Bright Picture/vision china

  On April 12th, the China English Proficiency Scale (hereinafter referred to as the Scale), the first English proficiency assessment standard for Chinese English learners, was issued by the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission and officially implemented on June 1st, 2018.

  Three sections and nine grades: building a multi-level ability index system

  Guided by the use of language, the scale divides the English proficiency of Chinese English learners from low to high into three stages: foundation, improvement and proficiency, with nine levels, and gives a comprehensive, clear and informative description of the ability characteristics of each level.

  According to Jiang Gang, director of the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education, in order to make the scale conform to China’s national conditions and teaching conditions, the determination of three sections and nine grades is based on the results of empirical research on 160,000 teachers and students in 28 provinces, more than 1,500 schools across the country, with reference to the existing curriculum standards, syllabus and examination syllabus, as well as the analysis of social needs.

  There are 86 competency tables in the scale, including 1 language proficiency table, 8 sub-skill tables, 8 self-evaluation tables and 69 sub-skill tables. The reporter saw that the competency matrix includes the language competency matrix, as well as the skills matrix in eight aspects: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, oral expression, written expression, structural ability, pragmatic ability, interpretation ability and translation ability. Among them, the translation and interpretation proficiency scale fills the gap that the language proficiency scale at home and abroad has not included translation competence.

  When explaining this multi-level ability index system, Liu Jianda, vice president of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and a member of the expert group on the construction of foreign language ability evaluation system, said: "The scale describes the continuous state of English ability, and every English learner and user can find their own position." The scale is described in a "can do" way. For example, the language proficiency summary describes "level 1" as "being able to understand simple language materials that are very familiar in daily life, identify basic information about related activities or things around you, and understand the meaning of basic words. You can communicate with others in basic and short words, greet each other, introduce or describe each other, state the basic information of things around you, and show your attitude, sometimes with the help of non-verbal means such as repetition or gestures and expressions. "

  Wang Shouren, a professor at Nanjing University and chairman of the College Foreign Language Teaching Steering Committee of the Ministry of Education, said: "The formulation of the scale has the characteristics of foundation, guidance and integration."

  "Equal Quantity and Balance": Breaking Different Examination Barriers

  It is understood that there are the following problems in China’s current foreign language examinations: First, there are many existing foreign language examinations with different standards, the concept of examination level is unclear, and the scores of different examinations are incomparable, which is not conducive to users’ understanding and use, and is not conducive to promoting scientific talent selection. Second, the content of the examination is not comprehensive, and the positive orientation of the examination to foreign language teaching is insufficient. There is a lack of effective connection between the examinations of various academic periods, and there are cases of repeated contents or broken files. These are not conducive to promoting the coherent and orderly development of teaching, and are not conducive to the improvement of teaching effectiveness. Third, the international recognition of foreign language examinations in China is not high, which is not conducive to improving the level of internationalization of education.

  "The goal of the foreign language proficiency assessment system is to change the situation that the existing examinations are incomplete, unsystematic and unconnected, and to establish a foreign language proficiency assessment standard and examination system with China characteristics, international standards and multiple functions, so as to better serve the scientific selection of talents, serve the development of foreign language education and teaching, and promote the improvement of students’ comprehensive foreign language ability." Jiang Gang said.

  As the core task of the construction of foreign language assessment system, the formulation of the scale aims at providing a scientific ability index system and an accurate ability scale for various English tests, giving play to the role of "balancing quantity with quantity", making the test design more comprehensive and systematic, making the test scores comparable, providing a basis for the communication and mutual recognition of different learning achievements, promoting the convergence of different learning segments and promoting the coherent and orderly development of foreign language education.

  In terms of English assessment, Han Baocheng, a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University and a member of the expert group on the construction of foreign language proficiency assessment system, commented: "The scale can improve the quality of exams, promote the docking and mutual recognition of domestic and foreign exams, and promote the development of multiple assessments." Specifically, it provides a scientific ability evaluation standard for the content design, test question system, marking and performance report of various examinations; Provide a unified yardstick for connecting and positioning domestic and foreign exams, enhance the comparability of exams, and promote the docking and mutual recognition of domestic and foreign exams; Provide competency reference standards for the process and summative evaluation methods of English teaching, and promote the development of multiple evaluations. "

  It is reported that the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education has signed an agreement with Britain and the United States to start the docking research between IELTS, TOEFL and China Scale.

  Complementarity and mutual promotion: docking teaching, learning and testing

  Then, what is the relationship between the scale and the curriculum standards and examination syllabus of basic education?

  Wang Shouren, who participated in the revision of English curriculum standards for basic education, explained: "The scale and curriculum standards go in the same direction and complement each other." The scale is highly consistent with the teaching requirements such as curriculum standards in improving students’ core literacy, and fully meets the teaching requirements of each period in terms of key language skills. Moreover, the descriptors of pragmatic ability and cognitive ability in the scale play a leading and guiding role in English teaching, that is, our English teaching should focus on cultivating students’ language application ability and learning ability. In terms of specific functions, the difference between the scale and the curriculum standard is that the curriculum standard is a teaching program formulated for a certain learning period, which puts forward prescriptive requirements for the teaching content; The scale is a reference standard for all kinds of learners, which mainly plays a role in testing the ability level in examination application.

  It is understood that the scale is not a syllabus or an examination syllabus, and its nine grades are not mandatory for students. At the same time, the scale can help language learners to self-diagnose their English ability, find out their strengths and weaknesses, and set learning goals in a targeted way, which is helpful to cultivate students’ autonomous learning ability and make foreign language learning more personalized.

  Jiang Gang said that how to apply the scale in the next teaching, learning and testing needs teachers and examiners to decide according to the specific situation. The Examination Center of the Ministry of Education is developing the National English Proficiency Test on the basis of the scale, which lays the foundation for reducing repeated tests and improving the system of the test. At present, it is mainly considered to cooperate with the strategy of cultivating high-quality talents and develop examinations for the higher education stage with strong social demand.

Exclusive decryption of "The Legend of the Demon Cat", the forging of the ultimate beauty polished for 6 years.


Special feature of 1905 film network  Chen Kaige’s "closed door" for six years has finally been released. Show for 6 daysThe total box office of this poetic and fantastic film has broken 300 million, and the single-day gold attraction is about 80 million. At present, it ranks second in the mainland box office list with 24.8% of the films, second only to the 12-day release..


From the word of mouth, many viewers think that the film still inherits Chen Kaige’s old habit of "split plot", but the artistic effect of the film is almost universally acknowledged and stands out.

  

Xiao Liang has long heard that more than 100 styles are designed for the director to choose from in a single pane in the film, not to mention how to shrink an Chang ‘an city nearly 10 kilometers long and 9 kilometers wide into a huge project of 550 mu of land.

 

Chen Kaige, on the other hand, is an unconventional director. Not only does he often communicate with fine arts with ancient poems on the set, but his standards should be "real enough to touch" instead of looking real.

  

This … … That sounds complicated enough.It is said that there is a member of the art group in the film who gave birth to all the children during the six years of creating the Legend of the Demon Cat.

 

In order to interpret the fantastic illusion of The Legend of the Demon Cat, Xiao Liang specially interviewed two production designer Tu Nan and Lu Wei in the film, revealing the art forging road of the film which lasted for six years.


The Legend of the Demon Cat production designer Tu Nan and Lu Wei


Art style: combination of reality and reality, highlighting contrast. 

Friends who are concerned about Chen Kaige may know that The Legend of the Demon Cat is adapted from the novel Shaman Konghai by Japanese writer Baku Yumemakura. Chen Kaige condensed four books in 124 minutes, restoring the splendid Tang Dynasty in his heart and a sad and loveless relationship that originated from Yang Guifei.

 

When Chen Kaige adapted the novel, he kept the strong fantasy wind in the novel, thus creating a mysterious atmosphere in the film.


This atmosphere requires a lot of fine arts. Two production designer told me that the artistic style of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is the most challenging.The "emptiness" lies in the style of the story itself, and the "reality" lies in the fact that the environment should be very real, so that the atmosphere of the film can be established. There must be a strong contrast between the real environment and the story style, otherwise the building will be deviant. If the plot overlaps with the environment, all the fantasies will be empty.


This also coincides with the idea of the original author Baku Yumemakura. Baku Yumemakura is a bibliophile. In order to write "Shaman Empty Sea", he has visited China for 15 times. From the address of Bai Juyi’s residence to the lane where Hu Yulou is located, we must find out.

 

Because of the accurate description in the original book and his own complex in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Chen Kaige decided to build a real Tang Cheng and make the environment complete.

Hu Bing was invited as "Italian fashion friend" China gentleman to promote cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.

Hu Bing was invited as "Italian fashion friend" China gentleman to promote cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.

The year 2020 coincides with the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Italy, and it is also the "China-Italy Year of Culture and Tourism". At this landmark point, at the official invitation of the Italian National Tourism Administration, Hu Bing, a gentleman from China, will co-host the grand event as an "Italian fashion friend", promote cultural exchanges between the two countries, and start his new journey as a "world traveler". Yesterday, Hu Bing also sent a message to Weibo, telling his origins and stories with Italy in the form of video.

Hu Bing, as an "Italian fashion friend", was praised as a walking China fashion label.

Like China, Italy is also a "treasure-class" world cultural heritage country. It is not only the cradle of European culture, the birthplace of the Renaissance, but also one of the current international fashion centers, and Hu Bing has a deep relationship with it. In his early years, after he entered the national team as a professional rower, he was sent to Italy to attend an international training camp. After being injured, he found another stage in his life and made his first show in Milan, thus opening the way to modeling and performing arts. For Hu Bing, Italy is a place where dreams begin and a place where his dreams bloom.

Since then, Hu Bing has gone to Italy and other countries to participate in fashion week, award ceremony, jury and other related activities almost every year, and has maintained the cooperation of European fashion brands and top designers for more than 20 years, becoming the face of china recognized by the international fashion world. Hu Bing has always had his own understanding of fashion. "Embrace the future and stay with the classics" is his philosophy. He loves the eternal charm of the classics and embraces the changes and unknowns in the future, forming his own fashion style and unique label, which perfectly fits with the identity of "Italian fashion friend", and many fashion media praised it as the fashion label of China.

"World Traveler" starts again, and every time he goes to Italy, it’s like the first time.

Hu Bing was invited as "Italian fashion friend" China gentleman to promote cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.

It is reported that based on his work, Hu Bing travels around the world for more than 200 days every year, and really feels the customs and local culture of different regions. He likes to stop and go, immerse himself in the local culture and folk customs, do not set a destination for himself, and follow his heart to be an exploratory "world traveler".

In addition, Hu Bing has devoted a lot of energy to cultural exchange, promotion and public welfare undertakings. This time, Hu Bing won the title of "Best Friend of Italian Fashion", and also told his origin and story with Italy in the form of short video on the platform of Weibo. "Italy carries too many memories of its growth, the sports spirit of Rome, the fashion art of Milan and the cultural exploration of Venice. Every time I go to Italy, it is like the first time." Hu Bing said.

In addition, in the early stage of the full opening of the two countries’ tourism, Hu Bing will also participate in a series of online warm-up activities for more Sino-Italian cultural and tourism years, and deeply share with fans the "knowledge points" of the two countries in fashion, humanities, tourism and many other aspects. In this regard, Hu Bing said: "Although the epidemic has changed everyone’s life now, I believe that one day, we will continue to meet in Milan, Rome and Venice, and this day will come soon."

Economic observation: What can the Belt and Road Initiative bring to RMB internationalization?

  China news agency, Beijing, August 13th (Reporter Wang Enbo) As two important arrangements in the new pattern of economic governance in China, there is huge room for the coordinated development of the Belt and Road Initiative and RMB internationalization. The former, in particular, has become a new driving force for the latter to keep moving forward.

  Nowadays, the RMB has become more and more "international". On October 1, 2016, the RMB was officially included in the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) currency basket of the International Monetary Fund, and the road to internationalization ushered in a milestone. According to the statistics of SWIFT, as of June this year, more than 1,900 financial institutions around the world use RMB as the payment currency.

  So, what can the "Belt and Road" bring to the further internationalization of the RMB? Sun Guofeng, director of the Financial Research Institute of the People’s Bank of China, said at the first China Financial Forty Forum held recently that the international status of currency has created conditions for China’s banking system to provide overseas financing in the form of RMB. Exporting RMB under capital with the help of the Belt and Road Initiative is a sustainable internationalization strategy that is conducive to macroeconomic balance, in line with national welfare.

  Guan Tao, a senior researcher at the China Financial Forty Forum and former director of the Balance of Payments Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, pointed out that in 2016, the actual receipt and payment of RMB in cross-border trade between China and countries along the Belt and Road only accounted for 13.9% of the bilateral trade volume, and there is still much room for improvement. With the closer economic and trade exchanges between China and countries along the route, it is inevitable for the market to take RMB, one of the major international currencies, as the pricing negotiation currency in order to save exchange costs.

  However, under the current situation of exchange rate fluctuation and capital flow, RMB internationalization still has a long way to go. The National Financial Work Conference, which ended a few days ago, clearly pointed out that it is necessary to expand financial opening to the outside world, deepen the reform of RMB exchange rate formation mechanism, steadily promote RMB internationalization, and steadily realize capital account convertibility. At the same time, the meeting proposed to promote financial innovation in the construction of the "Belt and Road" and do a good job in the design of relevant systems.

  Sun Guofeng believes that taking advantage of the opportunity of the "Belt and Road" construction to promote the internationalization of the RMB should give full play to the role of various financial institutions, including development financial institutions. Because the "Belt and Road" construction has the characteristics of long project recovery cycle and huge capital demand, development finance can play an important role in it. At the same time, development finance and domestic and foreign commercial financial cooperation should be encouraged. The former mainly plays a leading role. After making profits, relevant institutions can transfer part of the financing to commercial financial institutions and continue to use the withdrawn funds for other development financial projects, so as to realize a benign turnover of funds.

  It is worth mentioning that the dispute over currency selection is a common problem in the process of promoting development finance. For example, there are voices that the interest rate of ten-year government bonds is only 0.05% due to the negative interest rate of the Japanese yen, and the absolute cost of financing is relatively low internationally. Comparatively speaking, will the higher cost of monetary financing lead to the lack of sufficient competitiveness in providing financing in China, thus slowing down the internationalization of RMB?

  According to Yin Yong, deputy governor of China People’s Bank, this understanding is not accurate. He pointed out that in developed financial markets, the choice of two currencies can be converted by currency swap operation, and both RMB and US dollar funds can be converted into Japanese yen with lower interest rate, and vice versa. In addition, China’s foreign exchange reserves include currencies of all developed countries and emerging market countries in the world, and if there are financing needs in other currencies, it can also meet them.

  "Because our RMB pool is relatively larger, we have a relatively competitive advantage in providing RMB funds, and the RMB should be able to ‘ Belt and Road ’ Play a greater role in construction. " Yin Yong said. (End)

The content of making beauty cosmetics is too "rolled". Can MCN May beauty cosmetics break through by specialization?

Interface journalist | She Xiaochen

In the wave of content industry moving from graphic era to short video, May Beauty belongs to one of the content organizations with earlier transformation.

This company, which specializes in the field of beauty and fashion, was formerly known as Guangzhou Qingzhi Fashion Culture and engaged in fashion WeChat official account business. In 2018, short videos and live broadcasts rose one after another, and the founder of May Beauty also felt the decline of WeChat official account’s increment in May.

According to the data released by China Network Audiovisual Program Service Association, in 2018, the market size of the video content industry reached 187.13 billion yuan, of which the short video market soared by 744.7% from 5.53 billion yuan in 2017 to 46.71 billion yuan.

Let the beauty fashion editor transform and shoot videos, which became the starting point of the beauty transformation incubation blogger in May. When the beauty MCN business was launched in 2018, the company implemented "internal transfer". The editor-in-chief and editor of Fashion WeChat official account were the first to transform into beauty makeup directors, and some beauty editors made short videos.

Tianyancha information shows that in 2019, in May, beauty cosmetics won the tens of millions of Pre-A rounds of financing from Xintu Capital; In 2021, in May, beauty cosmetics completed tens of millions of A rounds of financing, and the investor was Woyong Fund.

Different from the strategy of many organizations competing for "expansion", May Beauty has always focused on beauty categories. In a recent interview with Interface News, the co-founders of May Beauty told Interface News that one of the reasons is related to the founders’ thinking. They think this is where the company is good at, and the content team of May Beauty is also more professional in beauty. From the perspective of commercial realization, the beauty track is relatively stable.

In the content market, beauty brands are indeed the "big investors" of various platforms. Taking Tik Tok as an example, the massive arithmetic statistics of ByteDance’s platform show that in 2022, the year-on-year growth rate of search and live broadcast in Tik Tok’s beauty industry both exceeded 50%, and the average monthly broadcast volume of short videos exceeded 100 billion.

This also gives similar companies such as May Beauty a relatively stable opportunity, but the competition is more intense.

Gao Gao summed up the "volume" of the beauty track in the past year from three dimensions: First, there are more and more high-quality beauty bloggers and professional peers, and they are all expanding their platforms. Second, the platform has entered the stock market, and various accounts have begun to grab traffic. Third, it stems from the improvement of brand demand. "In the past few years, many brands may mainly focus on communication effects. Now they hope to have both communication effects and good ROI, and the requirements are more diverse." Say it high.

In this context, May Beauty began to lay out matrix accounts to meet the different needs of different customers. In May, 2019, beauty cosmetics rose rapidly on the content platform, but by the second half of the year, the team obviously felt that the traffic was getting thinner and thinner, which prompted the company to start thinking about its own advantages and differences. Making a professional matrix is the path explored by May Beauty.

When incubating bloggers, the screening criteria for beauty in May are that bloggers have professional knowledge. For example, the blogger "Li Xuechang" who was incubated in May became a professional "classified" blogger after graduating from college. For the brand, the advantage of professional bloggers is that they can create content with the brand. At the same time, both bloggers and fans can give feedback and suggestions to the brand’s new products. In 2020, May Beauty established a brand protection "mixed story", and many bloggers participated deeply in the process of product development and listing.

Yesterday, "The Last Dopamine" WeChat WeChat official account posted an article "Where is the root of the conflict between doctors and patients? ",this is really a cliche. His answer is that there are many reasons for the tension and frequent conflicts between doctors and patients, and they are interactive.The main reason is: money!



There are frequent conflicts and disputes between doctors and patients. How did the doctor-patient relationship evolve?


A few years ago, an article in China Medical Tribune introduced the evolution of the doctor-patient relationship, and the graph of the evolution of the doctor-patient relationship reflected the doctor-patient relationship from ancient times to the present.


Figure 1 Evolution curve of doctor-patient relationship

The medical level in ancient times was very poor, and diagnostic tools and treatment methods were scarce.Doctors mainly care and care for patients.. The doctor-patient relationship is an equal friend relationship, there is no commercial and economic relationship, and the reward is dispensable.


In ancient times, many people died of illness, and most patients and their families were grateful for the help of doctors. If the doctor doesn’t cure the disease in the end, the patient can accept it.


With the development of history, doctors have become a fixed practice, and the development of medicine has improved the diagnostic tools and treatment level. There is an unequal patronage relationship between doctors and patients, and doctors still can’t effectively treat diseases, mainly listening to patients’ needs and prescribing some symptomatic drugs, and patients often pay generous remuneration. At this time, doctors are subordinate and serve patients. Although their status is unequal, the relationship between doctors and patients is still relatively harmonious.


With the gradual improvement of doctors’ status, doctors’ authority is growing, and doctors are increasingly relying on laboratory tests and report forms. Doctors communicate less with patients, which invisibly widens the distance between doctors and patients.The status of doctors is gradually rising, and patients’ right to speak is relatively weak. In such a doctor-patient relationship, the patient is no longer the dominant position, and is completely dominated by the doctors in the hospital, so the contradiction between doctors and patients gradually arises.


An article in the New England Journal summarized the history of medical system reform in China when commenting on the root causes of doctor-patient conflict in China.


Since 1949, China’s medical system has been divided into four stages:


1. the first stage: imitating the national medical system of communist countries (1949~1984)


The government owns and operates all medical institutions, and all employees are government employees.There is no need for medical insurance at this stage, because all medical services are almost free.


At this stage, China’s medical system has made a remarkable achievement, such as the decline of infant mortality and the mass elimination of some infectious diseases.


2. The second stage: the new economic rules were implemented in the medical industry (1984~2003).


China’s medical system began to turn around. The financial support provided by the government to hospitals has dropped sharply, and many health workers have lost their financial subsidies.The government still owns the property rights of hospitals, but it has little intervention in the behavior of medical institutions.In a market system lacking rules, these nominally public hospitals began to act like profit-seeking enterprises. Doctors employed in public hospitals can get a considerable bonus if they make a profit for the hospital.


At this stage, the government only provides medical insurance to some people, and private insurance companies do not exist at all; As a result, most people in China are not covered by medical insurance, which makes the turbulence caused by the experiment of market-oriented medical reform more intense.


By the late 1990s, this market-oriented reform experiment had led to public anger, distrust of hospitals and medical practitioners, and even developed into a widespread violent attack on doctors.In some underdeveloped rural areas, the dissatisfaction caused by looking down on illness has triggered public protests, which has threatened social stability.


3. The third stage: 2003 version of medical reform (2003-2008)


Adopt a medical insurance system (new rural cooperative medical insurance)Slightly subsidize the hospitalization expenses of the rural population to alleviate social protests.. This medical insurance requires hospitalization to be reimbursed, which reflects the fact that hospitalization expenses were expensive at that time and many rural families were poor due to illness.


Policymakers’ minds are all occupied by how to reduce the expensive hospitalization expenses, and they don’t realize that "in order to manage health, treat diseases and control expenses, strengthening primary health care is the key link".


4. The fourth stage: 2008-present


Policymakers have realized that the medical insurance system and hospitals need to undergo major reforms, otherwise social stability will be endangered.This time, the medical reform announced to abandon the experiment of medical reform mainly based on market principles, and promised that by 2020, affordable basic medical services could be provided to all the people.


At the end of the article, some main problems are pointed out. First of all, tertiary hospitals have successfully resisted the latest medical reform. Secondly, there are still a lot of inequalities between poor rural areas and rich areas. Third,To form a high-quality, reliable and professional group of doctors in China, we have to make a hard struggle.. In the past, a great legacy of China’s market-oriented medical reform was that the public generally believed that doctors put their own economic welfare above the interests of patients, and it was not easy to completely reverse this concept.



Can money completely alleviate the conflict between doctors and patients?

Finally, a dopamine said in its article, "If it is free to see a doctor, or only a very small amount of money is needed, I think the relationship between doctors and patients will be eased immediately." Is that really the case?


There are still some people who basically don’t need money to see a doctor. Are they satisfied with medical treatment? The answer is of course no.


Their experience in the environment and process of medical treatment is often very poor. Even if you don’t have to bear the medical expenses yourself, and doctors will not be restricted in medication and examination, you still can’t satisfy patients. If the final outcome of treatment is bad, conflicts will still occur.


Professor Hu Dayi pointed out in an interview that,The root of doctor-patient conflict is the marketization of medical and health care.. He said that after putting the whole medical service on the market, it is impossible for doctors to help patients make behavioral changes except over-treatment. After turning medical service into a complete business model, the contradiction between doctors and patients will certainly become more and more fierce. In the past 30 years, the development of hospitals has been pushed to the market, which has led to the monopoly of medical resources by many giant hospitals. Hospitals rely on making money from patients to increase operating income, buy equipment, build houses and give bonuses.Big hospitals have kidnapped other hospitals, and all hospitals have to run wild on this system. All doctors are victims or victims.


Academician Han Qide pointed out in an interview that the contradiction between doctors and patients is the progress of medicine and society.The improvement of medical effect leads to a great increase in patients’ expectation. When the untreated patients become a minority, it is more likely to produce psychological imbalance.. At the same time, with the development of medical technology, doctors have shifted almost all their energy and attention to technology, and getting along with patients has been put in a secondary position, and the distance between doctors and patients has become larger and larger. The direct consequence of the improvement of modern medical technology is that the cost and price of medical care have greatly increased. The increase of expenses will double the pressure on patients and decrease their satisfaction, which will aggravate the contradiction. He also stressed that doctors are facing life, and in any era, doctors’ moral requirements cannot be lowered, otherwise, combined with information asymmetry, medicine will become very terrible.



Where is the outlet of doctor-patient conflict?

Lao Liu’s mother, as a retired doctor who has undergone free medical care and the first medical reform, recently read some articles on medical reform policies shared by old comrades, and repeatedly pointed out that medical care should be restored to the previous free medical care system for all.She said, no matter which countries are poorer or richer than ours, they can realize free medical care. Why can’t we?


After listening to this, Lao Liu smiled indifferently, not to mention paying medical expenses for all patients, that is, ensuring the normal operation of public medical institutions at all levels, paying reasonable wages and allowances in full by staff, regularly updating and maintaining instruments and equipment, opening medical service institutions in areas lacking medical services and medicines, and ensuring the implementation of other social work such as public health, anti-epidemic work, health care and rehabilitation.The cost that the government needs to bear may be astronomical.If medical insurance is not charged and social security funds are not paid, the medical expenses will be even more alarming. With such a large population in China, how can the state realize huge investment in the health system through taxation? Although I don’t know much about the economy, it’s hard to achieve it by rough thinking.


When I was young, I remember that there might be only one or two antibiotics at that time, which was very cheap. Image examination is film machine and ultrasound examination, and blood examination is also very limited. The quantity of drugs is limited, and many diseases are not treated with drugs. At that time, it was simple and cheap to see a doctor once. Surgery is a direct operation, no endoscope, no robot, and lack of instruments and instruments, and the cost is relatively low.Perhaps free medical care was possible at that time, so it is too difficult to realize the development of medicine today.


Some countries can provide free medical care, or provide the most basic medical security, or build on the basis of high taxes, or the country has less people and more money. Looking back at China’s population of more than one billion and the level of medical development, it seems a bit difficult to go back to the past.


As pointed out in the book Chinese doctor-patient relationship,The conflict between doctors and patients is not only a moral problem, but also an institutional problem. Morality needs long-term construction, and the system can be effective in the short term.To solve the conflict between doctors and patients, the fundamental way out is to eradicate the drawbacks of the medical system and use "restructuring" to incite "change of heart". The book also points out that in a reasonable medical system, the interests of doctors and patients are the same. The lower the cost of patients’ treatment, the less the social medical expenditure, and the more rewards doctors get. In order to eliminate the crisis of trust between doctors and patients from the root, we must reform the medical system of supporting doctors with medicine and supporting doctors with machinery, so that doctors can eat by technology instead of selling medicine.


In recent years, medical reform measures have continued, from the procurement of drugs with quantity and the procurement of high-value consumables in sunshine, and the medical insurance policy has been constantly changing. Is the patient feeling well? Has the practice environment of doctors improved? Has the contradiction between doctors and patients eased? It’s still time to give an answer.


How do you feel after the medical reform?

Football Today: Cypress Sun God vs Kawasaki striker Adelaide United vs Melbourne City

The Japanese Football League is about to start, and the cypress sun gods will face the Kawasaki striker. The cypress sun gods have performed well in the past games, but their ability at home is relatively weak. At the same time, Kawasaki striker team has performed strongly recently, winning eight consecutive games.

However, the team has recently participated in the AFC Champions League, and continuous away games and one-week doubles may have a certain physical impact on the players. Therefore, there is a certain gap between the strength and current situation of the cypress sun god team and the Kawasaki striker team, but the Kawasaki striker team is facing some challenges. Personally, I think Kawasaki Strikers are more likely to win.

The other game is Adelaide United against Melbourne City. Adelaide United has performed very well recently, ranking third last season and beating its opponent 3-0 in the first round of this season. Their offensive state is stable, and they have scored 6 goals in the last three games.

However, some players of Adelaide United are unable to play, which may have a certain impact on the strength of the team. Melbourne City had some ups and downs last season, but finally won the championship. They brought in some powerful players in the offseason and scored five goals in the last three games.

However, Melbourne City didn’t start the season well, losing 1-2 in the first game. At the same time, they also face the problem that some players can’t play. On the whole, the strength of Adelaide United and Melbourne City team should not be underestimated.

Adelaide United is in a stable state, but it should be noted that they lack some important players. Melbourne City team showed great strength last season, but the start of this season was not smooth. Considering these factors, I personally think Melbourne City is more likely to win.

In these two games, we can see the contest between two strong teams. Whatever the outcome, these games will bring us a wonderful football feast. What do you think of these two games? Which team do you think is more likely to win? Please share your thoughts with us in the comments.

The material of this article comes from the internet. If it is inconsistent with the actual situation or there is infringement, please contact and delete it.

The sunshine is double happiness, sit and receive the gift! King Durant came back, and Booker blocked the Buddha statue that killed God.

The NBA playoffs were fierce. The Western Conference and the Suns 2-1 Clippers, although the Clippers beat the Suns in the first game, both G2 and G3 Clippers lost. Phoenix Suns played a good performance in the lineup. Durant, Devon Booker and Paul are obviously getting better and better. If you want to beat Phoenix Suns, you must have the Clippers’ collective surprise. Now the Clippers’ core stars have been injured, and I’m afraid they will be eliminated early again in this year’s playoffs. After winning two consecutive Clippers victories, the Suns got the official good news, and were given a generous gift, which made the qualifying prospect gratifying. Kevin Durant’s return to the king and Devon Booker’s situation are like sunrise and sunset, and God blocks the opportunity to kill God.

First of all, after the Suns 2-1 Clippers, the US media updated the promotion probability of the two teams in the series, and the Suns soared from 54% to 87%. Now the NBA experts, journalists and fans in the whole league basically agree that the Suns have eliminated the Clippers and entered the next round (Western Conference semifinals). With Durant, the Suns’ offensive scoring ability has obviously been greatly improved. In addition, Durant’s ability to attack is too strong, so opponents have to concentrate on double-team defense, and Durant’s teammates can be completely liberated. Therefore, players like Devon Booker and Paul are particularly comfortable and wonderful in the playoffs.

Second, the Phoenix Suns also took the gift clippers. It was officially announced that Leonard decided to miss the G4 game of the series because of a knee injury, while Paul George failed to return from G4. If the Suns lead by 3-1 in the next game, the Clippers have almost a 98% chance of being out. According to the Clippers, Leonard and Paul George are not sure whether the G5 can still compete. A Smith, the most famous commentator in the American media NBA, has publicly accused Leonard of saying: This man should have retired, and I can’t stand his injuries. He takes turns to play in the regular season and never plays back to back, and he can’t play in the playoffs at present. Clippers fans also think that it is very rare for Leonard and Paul George to fall on the issue of injuries almost every year in the playoffs during their four seasons of cooperation.

Third, Durant and Booker scored 25+ each in the first three games of this playoffs, becoming the first pair of partners in NBA history after 2003. According to the data released by American media, Durant ranked first in the number of distance hits in this playoff, Devon Booker tied for second place with Paul, and bridges ranked third. It is worth mentioning that Booker, Durant and Paul are the top five players in the league in the ranking of hits in the regular season this season. Therefore, the most powerful CIC team in the league is the Suns. As long as Durant, Devon Booker and Paul are in the right distance, their opponents will be desperate.

Fourth, Durant’s return to the king in the playoffs. Last season, Durant’s shooting percentage in the Nets playoff was only 38.6%. His state was so bad that he was questioned by many people. In this year’s playoffs, Durant finally regained his glory and the king returned: he averaged 26.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists, plus 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks, and his shooting percentage was as high as 51%. As high as Kevin Durant’s real level in the playoffs, he has high scoring efficiency, good stability, strong rebounding and assisting ability, good defensive stealing and blocking ability, and does not hold back at all.

5. Devon Booker’s state in the playoffs is that God stops killing God and God stops killing God. NBA data show that Devon Booker is averaging 36.3 points per game (the first in the playoff league), while Devon Booker’s shooting percentage is 60%, and his scoring efficiency is higher than Durant’s. In addition, Devon Booker averaged 5.0 assists and 2.8 steals per game, and his defensive ability was also underestimated. Devon Booker performed well in playoff defense. Devon Booker, who has Durant’s defensive attention, really plays with ease. Booker pointed out in an interview after the game: I encouraged my opponent to double-team Durant, and I will make him pay a painful price. This is also the advantage brought by the multi-core lineup in the playoffs. There is always a cup of poison for opponents to eat.

6. In the ranking of playing time since the playoffs, Devon Booker ranked first (132.6 minutes), Durant ranked second (130.5 minutes), Dinwiddie ranked third (119.8 minutes) and bridges ranked fourth (118.7 minutes). Suns coach Monty’s use of the main stars has made many fans worry about whether Durant and Booker can eat well. However, experts in the NBA of the US media said that the Suns’ offensive tactics on the court are often played by Durant and Devon Booker in turn, so there will always be one person who can take a break on the court. As Booker mentioned in the interview, after scoring in succession, I told Durant that my opponent would adjust his defense and it was his turn to attack in the next round. This shows that the Suns, led by Devon Booker and Durant in turn, attacked and eased the tension faced by one teammate. # Hundred Watching Teams #
