  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 7th Feature: Gathering Dreams and Strength to Build a Community of Asian Destiny

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Sun Ping Lu Jiafei

  The sea is wide and the sails are dancing, and the sky is high and the wind is warm. Five years ago, in Boao, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader called on Asian countries to establish a sense of community of destiny and push the development of Asia and the world to a new level. Three years ago, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader elaborated on the concept of a community of Asian destiny in Boao and drew a blueprint for a new future in Asia.

  The 2018 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia is about to open. Comply with the general trend of Asian development and gather Asian development forces. China played a symphony of destiny with Asian countries, and the community of destiny gradually became the "Asian Consensus".

  Sharing concept

  Drinking the same river, fate is closely linked. The Lancang-Mekong River, which stretches across Wan Li, has witnessed the beautiful picture that China initiated and established a new sub-regional cooperation platform with Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam to build a community of destiny.

  In just two years, the Lancang-Mekong cooperation mechanism has become the first version of the Asian destiny community. The pattern of "leaders leading, all-round coverage and participation of all departments", the speed of "making progress every day, making achievements every month and stepping up every year" and the culture of "treating each other as equals, sincerely helping each other and being like a family" all reflect the belief and pursuit of the six countries to deepen the integration of interests and achieve common development, and also demonstrate China’s role as a leader of regional cooperation and a watcher of regional peace and development.

  China practices the neighboring diplomatic concept of sincerity and tolerance, insists on being a good neighbor and partner, deepens friendly cooperation with neighboring countries, actively participates in multilateral cooperation mechanisms in Asia, promotes regional cooperation to blossom and form synergy, and lays the foundation for building a community of Asian destiny.

  China-ASEAN Destiny Community, China-Pakistan Destiny Community, China-Kazakhstan Destiny Community and China-Laos Destiny Community … … The concept of community of destiny has taken root in Asia, and different levels of community of destiny complement each other.

  Bambang Suryono, chairman of the Asian Innovation Research Center, an Indonesian think tank, believes that China’s proposal of a community of Asian destiny provides an ideological guarantee and theoretical basis for common development, peaceful coexistence and mutual benefit in the Asian region. The community of Asian destiny is rooted in China’s "harmony" culture, conforms to the traditional cultural values of Asian countries, and is deeply recognized and supported by Asian countries. Asian countries are increasingly accepting the concept of the community of destiny.

  As the main driving force of the world economy, Asia is also facing challenges such as insufficient growth momentum and integration momentum. China, which has entered a new era, will continue to provide growth momentum for Asia and the world, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with neighboring countries and further promote the building of a community of human destiny.

  As Salman Ali Bettaney, a professor at the School of Politics and International Relations of Jinnah University, said, building a community of destiny is conducive to enhancing trust among Asian countries and strengthening mutual cooperation and cultural exchanges.

  Build a dream

  Across Qian Shan, build a dream space together. China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, China-Laos Railway, China-Thailand Railway, Anglian-Papu Railway Tunnel, Vietnam Longjiang Industrial Park, Laos Saiseta Industrial Development Zone, Cambodia Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone, Sri Lanka Hambantota Port … … China and Asian countries discuss and share the "Belt and Road" and build a community of Asian destiny with practical actions.

  Asia is the first region of the Belt and Road Initiative. Five years ago, China initiated the "Silk Road Economic Belt" and the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road" in Kazakhstan and Indonesia respectively, which were warmly responded by Asian countries. In January 2016, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank was officially put into operation. So far, it has provided financial support for development projects in many Asian countries, including the expressway project in Pakistan, the subway project in Bangalore, India, the energy project in Myanmar, the slum upgrading project in Indonesia, and the fiber-optic broadband network construction in Oman.

  The construction of the "Belt and Road" in Asia has changed the infrastructure of many countries, created a land-sea connectivity map, and stimulated local investment and industrial development.

  Hu Yishan, chief consultant of the Malaysian Pacific Research Center, believes that the community of Asian destiny focuses on promoting economic, trade and economic development. There are still many countries and regions in Asia with backward infrastructure. The Belt and Road Initiative and the AIIB can help regions improve their infrastructure and boost regional economic development.

  A trickle merges into the sea, and a little starlight illuminates the Milky Way. The "Belt and Road" brings together the dreams of people in Asian countries and connects the development strategies of various countries.

  Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said that the "Belt and Road Initiative" fits well with Cambodia’s national development plan. Bangladeshi Prime Minister Hasina said that Bangladesh is willing to strengthen cooperation with China in the process of realizing the dream of "Golden Bangladesh".

  Suryono believes that the "Belt and Road" construction is conducive to integrating the resources of Asian countries, giving full play to their comparative advantages, and achieving common development and prosperity in Asia. The construction of the "Belt and Road" attaches importance to the communication between the people, which is also conducive to enhancing mutual trust and understanding among Asian countries, reducing ethnic, religious and cultural conflicts, and laying the foundation for building a community of Asian destiny.

  Draw a blueprint together

  As close as lips and teeth, share weal and woe. To build a community of Asian destiny, common security is essential. At present, Asia is facing traditional and non-traditional, internal and external security challenges, and regional hot spots come one after another. Countries outside the region intervene in regional security affairs, and the game of great powers around geopolitics intensifies. The common will of Asian countries to pursue peace and development calls for a new Asian security concept.

  At the AsiaInfo Shanghai Summit in 2014, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader put forward the Asian security concept of "common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable". In his speech at the opening ceremony of the fifth CICA Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in 2016, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader proposed to promote the construction of a security governance model with Asian characteristics.

  Suryono believes that the western security concept pursues absolute security and puts its own security above that of others. China’s concept of Asian security pursues common security, and only when everyone feels safe can it be truly safe.

  Rod Capnan, a columnist of Philippine Standard, believes that China pursues "win-win" and is committed to sharing the dividends brought by its reform and development with other countries in the world. China has done the same, including promoting the building of a community of Asian destiny and launching the "Belt and Road Initiative".

  Building a universal and safe Asian security system requires enhancing mutual trust among countries, and enhancing mutual trust is inseparable from cultural exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations within the Asian family.

  At the 2015 annual meeting of the Boao Forum for Asia, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader proposed to hold a conference on dialogue of Asian civilizations, strengthen exchanges between young people, non-governmental organizations, local governments, media and other sectors, and build a think tank exchange and cooperation network, so that Asian people can enjoy a richer spiritual life and make regional development cooperation more dynamic. The 2016 Annual Meeting of Boao Forum for Asia held the Dialogue of Asian Civilizations. On the theme of "Colorful Civilization and New Vitality in Asia", representatives from China, Pakistan, Iran, Singapore and UNESCO started a dialogue.

  China is good, and Asia can be good; If Asia is good, China will be better. China and Asian countries have joined hands on the journey of building a community of destiny and jointly painted a beautiful picture of a new Asia.

Chinese Academy of Sciences establishes the responsibility system for investigating and handling scientific misconduct.

 

Science and Technology Daily News (Reporter Li Daqing) Recently, the Party Group of the Chinese Academy of Sciences issued the "Implementation Measures for Implementing Several Opinions on Further Strengthening the Construction of Scientific Research Integrity" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), which made specific arrangements for building a responsibility system, strengthening process management, giving priority to education, and seriously investigating and dealing with scientific research misconduct.

Changan Suzuki City SUV will be launched at the end of the year with a 1.6L engine.

  In the first half of this year, Suzuki sold a total of 125,333 vehicles in China, down 15% compared with the same period of last year, of which Changan Suzuki fell by 19.66% in the first half of this year. In order to curb the continuous decline in sales, it is urgent to introduce new products. Recently, Netcom learned that Changan Suzuki will introduce a crossover SUV this year, which will be equipped with a 1.6L engine and match the four-wheel drive technology. For the time to market of this model, Tang Qing, marketing director of Changan Suzuki, said in an interview with Netcom: "The cross-border SUV will be listed in China at the end of the year."

  Suzuki crossover SUV goes on the market at the end of the year with 1.6L engine.

  In recent years, SUV models have become a hot product in the market. Changan Suzuki’s product line covers cars and crossover vehicles, and compared with its competitors, its SUV product line has been blank. During this year’s Shanghai Auto Show, Suzuki brought its crossover SUV concept car S-Cross, which is positioned as a compact crossover SUV. The launch of this model will enrich Changan Suzuki’s product line sequence in China. "In the future, Changan Suzuki will add at least one new model to the China market every day, and the S-Cross concept version will be introduced to China this year. At the same time, brand-new products will be launched specifically for the China market on the product line." Suzuki Tadashi, deputy general manager of Changan Suzuki Automobile Co., Ltd. said.

  The body size of Suzuki S-CROSS is 4300mm/ long/1765mm/ wide/1575mm high, and the wheelbase is 2600mm. It will be powered by Suzuki’s newly developed high-performance 1.6-liter engine, which is expected to match the 6-speed manual and CVT transmissions. In addition, the new car is expected to match the same four-wheel drive system as Jimny, and it will compete with the popular cross-border SUV- hacker and other models after its launch.

  The second factory will be put into production at the end of the year, and seven new models are expected to be introduced.

  The second plant of Changan Suzuki will be officially put into operation at the end of this year, with an annual production capacity of 100,000 vehicles in the first phase. Including the vehicle production capacity of 250,000 vehicles in the first plant, the annual production capacity of Changan Suzuki will reach 350,000 vehicles next year. While laying the foundation stone for the new factory, plans for a number of new models have been gradually implemented. In addition to Suzuki Ertiga, Changan Suzuki will also introduce B-class cars and a number of new imported models and joint-venture independent models of Changan Suzuki. By 2015, Changan Suzuki will complete the plan to launch seven new models.

  Changan Suzuki is expected to "OEM" Changan independent models.

  At present, Changan’s own brand models have been higher than Changan Suzuki’s products in terms of product influence and price, while Changan Suzuki is somewhat weaker than Changan’s own brand in product line, and "OEM" Changan’s own models has become the key to increase its sales. "Even the OEM production of Changan Suzuki will not arouse consumers’ doubts, because it can increase the sales scale of single platform models, and the specific details are still under discussion. This is in line with our policy of platformization, modularization and lean cost management. " Insiders in Chang’ an said.

  Facing the problem of declining sales volume and slow product introduction, Changan Suzuki is also actively solving the current problems. After introducing the SX4 one after another this year, it will also introduce a cross-border SUV product at the end of this year, when the new model will help it achieve the goal of annual sales of 200,000.

Building the Party’s leadership system with overall planning and coordinating all parties.

  The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Decision on Deepening the Reform of Party and State Institutions, which was deliberated and adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, pointed out that to deepen the reform of Party and State institutions, it is necessary to strengthen the overall leadership of the Party. To study and implement the Decision, we must accurately grasp the red line of upholding and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership, deeply understand that upholding and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership is the core task and key to promote the reform of the Party and state institutions, implement the Party’s leadership over all work throughout the whole process of reform, and build a Party leadership system that takes the overall situation into consideration and coordinates all parties, so as to provide a strong institutional guarantee for the long-term governance of the Party and the long-term stability of the country.

  First, adhering to the overall leadership of the party is an important principle that must be adhered to in deepening institutional reform.

  The "Decision" profoundly summarizes the successful experience of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s political construction and clarifies four principles that must be followed in deepening the reform of the party and state institutions. The first one is "upholding the overall leadership of the party". Only by grasping and implementing this principle can we ensure the correct direction of the reform of the party and state institutions.

  (1) the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership is the most essential feature and the greatest institutional advantage of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has profoundly summarized the theory and practice of China’s revolutionary construction and reform in the historical process of commanding great struggles, great projects, great undertakings and great dreams, and clearly put forward that the leadership of the party is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. This important conclusion has deepened the party’s leadership position and role from the inevitability of historical development and practical development to the inevitability of road development and system development, deepened the understanding of communist party’s ruling law, the law of socialist construction and the law of human social development, and deepened the understanding of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s essence. It is the most important understanding achievement and the most fundamental experience summary of our party and China people in upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it is road confidence, theoretical confidence and self-confidence. To uphold and improve the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, the most crucial and core thing is to uphold and strengthen the Party’s overall leadership, better embody this most essential feature and give full play to this greatest advantage.

  (2) Upholding the Party’s leadership over all work is an inevitable requirement for upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Party, government, military and civilian studies, east, west, north and south, the party is the leader of everything. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward the basic strategy of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. The "first insistence" of the "14 Persistences" is to uphold the party’s leadership over all work. China is a socialist country under the people’s democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the workers’ and peasants’ alliance. Our party is the vanguard of the working class, the people of China and the Chinese nation, representing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and has no special interests of its own. Based on the nature of our country’s national system and party, it is proper to strengthen the overall leadership of the party. Our party has been in power for 69 years. After long-term practice, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have clearly adhered to the party’s overall leadership and strictly managed the party in an all-round way, leading the Chinese nation to a great leap from standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong. This fully proves that the system and mechanism embodying the party’s overall leadership are effective and useful, and can best mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the broad masses of people. At present, China’s development is in a promising historical opportunity period. To seize the historical opportunity and realize the great dream, we must unswervingly uphold and strengthen the overall leadership of the party, constantly improve the institutional arrangements for upholding the overall leadership of the party, and vigorously promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. To sum up, adhere to the party’s leadership over all work,It is the demand of the people, the demand of practice and the demand of the times.

  (3) Upholding and strengthening the overall leadership of the Party is the primary task and fundamental guarantee for deepening the reform of the Party and state institutions. The party’s overall leadership is concrete, not empty or abstract, and must be reflected in all aspects of governing the country, in the design, arrangement and operation of the institutions, systems and systems of state power, and in ensuring and realizing the political, ideological and organizational implementation of the party’s leadership. The "Decision" focuses on further institutionalizing the position and role of the Party as the highest political leading force, and regards upholding and strengthening the overall leadership of the Party as the primary task of this institutional reform. To deepen the reform of the party and state institutions, promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and promote the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system to be more mature and more stereotyped, we must move in the direction of upholding and strengthening the party’s overall leadership, and strive to implement the party’s overall leadership in place. The reform of the party and state institutions is a political system reform that has a bearing on the overall situation and should be understood and grasped politically. To ensure the correct direction of reform and the smooth progress of various tasks, we must give full play to the core role of the party in overall planning and coordinating all parties, and earnestly put the political theme of upholding and strengthening the party’s overall leadership throughout the whole process of reform.

  (4) To uphold the overall leadership of the Party, the most fundamental thing is to uphold the authority of the CPC Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership. Centralized and unified leadership by the Party Central Committee is the highest principle of the Party’s leadership and the most fundamental political rule. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out that it is the primary task of the party’s political construction to ensure that the whole party obeys the Central Committee and uphold the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralize and unify leadership. In the big chess game of the national governance system, the CPC Central Committee is the "handsome" in the military account. To build and improve the Party’s leadership system and national governance system, we must adhere to the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee as the fundamental point, further establish and improve the institutional mechanism for strengthening centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, ensure the unity and unity of the whole Party and the unity of actions, and ensure the rapid and effective implementation of the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee. To deepen the reform of the Party and state institutions, the task is arduous and far-reaching, which affects the whole body. We must firmly establish political consciousness, overall situation consciousness, core consciousness and conformity consciousness, resolutely safeguard the core position of the Supreme Leader General Secretary in the CPC Central Committee and the whole party, resolutely safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, consciously maintain a high degree of ideological and political unity with the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader Comrade as the core, and carry out all the established tasks firmly and forcefully in accordance with the unified arrangements of the CPC Central Committee.

  Second, improve the institutional arrangements for adhering to the party’s overall leadership

  Focusing on ensuring the full coverage of the party’s leadership and ensuring that the party’s leadership is stronger and stronger, the "Decision" puts forward that strengthening the party’s leadership in all fields and aspects of work is the primary task of deepening the reform of the party and state institutions, and makes comprehensive arrangements and strategic arrangements for optimizing the party’s organizational structure and improving the system of adhering to the party’s overall leadership.

  (1) establish and improve the party’s leadership system and mechanism for major work. The party’s leadership system and mechanism for major work plays a leading role in the overall leadership system arrangement of the party. Things are in all directions, and they should be in the center. To strengthen the party’s overall leadership, we must first strengthen the party’s centralized and unified leadership over major work involving the overall situation. The establishment of decision-making and deliberation coordination institutions by the CPC Central Committee is an effective system design to strengthen the party’s leadership over major work. As early as 1958, the CPC Central Committee established leading groups in finance, politics, law, foreign affairs, science, culture and education. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out that these groups belong to the CPC Central Committee and the major policies are in the Politburo. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has further strengthened its centralized and unified leadership over major work involving the overall situation, and successively established the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, the Central National Security Council, the Central Leading Group for Cybersecurity and Informatization, and the Central Military Commission for Deepening the Reform of National Defense and the Army. These decision-making and deliberation coordination bodies of the CPC Central Committee have played a very important and key role in promoting the historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the state. The "Decision" puts forward the principle requirements for establishing and improving the party’s leadership system and mechanism for major work, clarifies the decision-making and deliberation coordination body of the CPC Central Committee, carries out work under the leadership of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and its Standing Committee, and bears the important responsibility of top-level design, overall layout, overall coordination and overall promotion of major work. The "Decision" also affects other deliberative and coordinating bodies, party committees (party groups) of various regions and departments.Improve relevant institutional mechanisms and put forward clear requirements. These institutional arrangements and principle requirements fully reflect our party’s accurate grasp of China’s national conditions and deepening understanding of the operating rules of state power, which is conducive to maintaining the authority of the CPC Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership from the system, and is conducive to ensuring the smooth implementation of the Party Central Committee’s decrees and efficient work.

  (2) Strengthen the leading position of Party organizations in organizations at the same level. Straightening out the relationship between the Party’s organizations and other organizations and strengthening the leading position of the Party’s organizations in organizations at the same level is an important guarantee to achieve full coverage of the Party’s leadership. In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that in China’s political life, the Party is in a leading position. Strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the Party and supporting the NPC, the government, the CPPCC, the courts and procuratorates to perform their functions, carry out their work and play their roles in accordance with the constitution are unified. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it has become an important institutional arrangement for The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) to regularly listen to the work reports of the leading groups of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), the State Council, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the work reports of the Central Secretariat, which has a very important demonstration significance for the whole party. The "Decision" clearly states that party committees (leading groups) established in state organs, institutions, mass organizations, social organizations, enterprises and other organizations accept the unified leadership of the party committees that approved their establishment and report their work regularly. At the same time, it proposes to speed up the establishment and improvement of party organizations in new economic organizations and social organizations. These regulations are conducive to highlighting our Party’s strong leadership core position in the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, enhancing the seriousness and standardization of political life within the Party, and effectively embodying the Party’s role of commanding the overall situation and coordinating all parties in various organizations at all levels.

  (3) Give full play to the role of the Party’s functional departments. The Regulations on Working Organs of the Communist Party of China (CPC) (for Trial Implementation) stipulates that the working organs of the Party are the political organs for the Party to implement political, ideological and organizational leadership, and the executive organs for implementing the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and local party committees at all levels, implementing party leadership, strengthening party building, and advancing the party’s cause; The functional department of the Party Committee is the competent department responsible for a certain aspect of the Party Committee’s work, exercising relatively independent management functions in accordance with regulations, formulating relevant policies and regulations and organizing their implementation, and coordinating and guiding the work in this system and this field. To deepen the reform of the party and state institutions, an important task is to give full play to the role of the party’s functional departments, better promote the implementation of the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, and realize the party’s comprehensive leadership in politics, ideology and organization. The "Decision" proposes to optimize the allocation of responsibilities of Party organizations, propaganda, United front, politics and law, party building, education and training, and further clarify and strengthen the functions of these departments in centralized coordination and overall planning. At the same time, it puts forward the principle requirements for the reform of party committees’ offices, party agencies and institutions directly under the party committees, emphasizing that party committees (party groups) at all levels should strengthen their ability to implement and strengthen their coordination and supervision functions. These regulations and requirements have adapted to the development trend of expanding the Party’s cause in breadth and depth, and are conducive to transforming the Party’s theory, line, principles and policies into concrete measures and practical results.

  (4) Make overall plans to set up party and government organizations. Party and government organizations are an important support for our party to govern the country and an important force to promote the cause of the party and the state. Since the reform and opening up, we have continuously promoted institutional reform, abolished and merged a number of departments and institutions, optimized and transformed government functions, reduced administrative costs, improved work efficiency, and effectively promoted and guaranteed the sustained and healthy development of China’s economy and society. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that the establishment of various institutions should be considered as a whole, the power of the party and government departments and internal institutions should be scientifically allocated, and the responsibilities should be clearly defined. To implement the strategic plan of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in accordance with the requirements of adhering to the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, and in view of the outstanding problems existing in the actual operation of party and government institutions, the Decision clearly stipulates that it is necessary to improve the layout of party and government institutions, straighten out the responsibilities of party and government institutions, form a unified and efficient leadership system, ensure the centralized and unified leadership of the Party, and ensure the coordinated and efficient operation of other institutions, and propose that relevant party institutions can work with other departments with similar functions and close ties. Considering and setting up the party and government institutions as a whole, building a new pattern of party and government institutions that meets the development requirements of the new era, grasping the key points that affect the operational efficiency of party and government institutions at present, embodying the requirements of optimizing and coordinating the functions of institutions, and breaking the barriers of departmentalization and localization, which is conducive to strengthening the party’s leadership, enhancing the government’s execution, and giving play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation and giving better play to the government’s role.Is conducive to highlighting the superiority of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system.

  Third, strengthen the party’s ability and determination to take the direction, seek the overall situation, formulate policies and promote reform.

  To deepen the reform of the party and state institutions, we should not only improve the institutional arrangements to ensure the party’s overall leadership, but also focus on improving the party’s leadership style and ruling style, and earnestly enhance the party’s ability and determination to take the direction, seek the overall situation, formulate policies and promote reform.

  Enhance the ability and determination of the direction. Direction is the flag, the road, and the common goal we are striving for. The first priority of the party’s leadership is to raise the flag and orient. On the way forward, we must hold high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, adhere to the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, Do not forget your initiative mind, keep in mind the mission, strive forever, promote social revolution and self-revolution with a high degree of consciousness, consistently uphold and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics, consistently promote the new great project of party building, and consistently enhance the sense of hardship and guard against risk challenges. It is necessary to strengthen the "four consciousnesses" in the design and operation of institutional mechanisms, ensure the maintenance of the authority of the CPC Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership with more perfect institutional arrangements, safeguard the core position of the Supreme Leader General Secretary in the CPC Central Committee and the whole party, and ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees and prohibitions. It is necessary to strengthen political determination, adhere to political principles and the bottom line, and never make subversive mistakes on fundamental issues. It is necessary to enhance acumen, improve synergy, effectively find and deal with emerging problems in reform and development, and take precautions before they happen.

  Enhance the ability and determination to seek the overall situation. The historical position we are in is a new era in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the undertaking we are undertaking is an unprecedented great undertaking. No matter how to understand and analyze problems and plan and promote work, we should think and act under the overall situation to prevent situations that are not conducive to the overall situation and the long term. We should focus on winning the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, and then realizing the Chinese nation’s great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream. We should focus on the grand practice of taking charge of great struggles, great projects, great undertakings and great dreams, focus on promoting the overall layout of the "five in one" and the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, focus on coordinating the two overall situations at home and abroad, grasp it as a whole, plan strategically, focus on it in the long run, and make efforts according to the situation.

  Enhance the ability and determination to make policies. Policy is the touchstone to reflect the nature and purpose of the ruling party and a sign to reflect the level of governing the country. In promoting economic and social development, we must persist in taking the people as the center, focus on safeguarding the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, focus on solving the contradiction between the people’s growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development, grasp the most urgent and anxious problems of the people, grasp the most direct and realistic interests of the people, formulate practical and effective policies and measures, and continuously enhance the people’s sense of happiness and security. We must persist in seeking truth from facts, proceed from reality, from the masses to the masses, carry out extensive and in-depth investigations and studies, and analyze specific problems, so as to make policies, measures and programs conform to the reality, reflect objective laws, solve practical problems, resolutely oppose formalism and bureaucracy, and achieve targeted, dialectical and precise efforts.

  Enhance the ability and determination to promote reform. Reform and opening up is the most distinctive banner of our party and a key measure to determine the fate of contemporary China. After 40 years of great revolution of reform and opening-up, the reform has entered the deep water area, so we must work hard, be firm, dare to bite hard bones and venture into dangerous beaches. We must vigorously carry forward the spirit of reform, innovation and self-revolution, promote ideological emancipation and reform, and achieve new breakthroughs in comprehensively deepening reform. It is necessary to focus on promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, adapt to the basic characteristics that China’s economy has shifted from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, scientifically determine the reform and development ideas, formulate reform and development measures, dare to take responsibility, do good deeds, and break new ground in practice. It is necessary to encourage grassroots innovation, advocate daring to try and be the first, strengthen in-depth excavation, scientific summary, publicity and promotion of successful experiences in reform, promote the formation of a stronger and more dynamic atmosphere for innovation and creation, and unite a powerful force for unswervingly promoting reform and opening up.

2019 Fast Fashion Brand Ranking

Enterprises and people are happy because they are on the way to charge.

Fast fashion is characterized by "quickness, accuracy and firmness", which is a business model that can bring the clothes exhibited in fashion week to the market in a short time, thus rapidly driving the global fashion trend. Multi-SKU, shallow inventory and keeping up with the trend are its characteristics.

Fast fashion can be favored by consumers, on the one hand, because fast fashion operation mode can provide rich and diversified products and increase consumers’ fashion choices; On the other hand, fast fashion brands are cheaper, cost-effective and have low brand premium. 

The rapid development of fast fashion in China is also due to the good opportunity. In September 2002, Uniqlo opened two stores in Shanghai and officially entered the China market. In 2006, ZARA opened its first fast fashion shop in Nanjing West Road, Shanghai. Represented by Uniqlo and ZARA, with the rapid expansion of commercial real estate in China and the rapid growth of retail space, fast-copied fast-fashion brand stores have quickly become the darling of commercial real estate projects in China. Fast fashion brands get together to open offline stores and lay out online flagship stores. 

Thinking and making progress will give birth to knowledge, while slowness and slackness will give birth to worry.

However, since the second half of 2018, there have been negative news from fast fashion brands, such as closing stores, withdrawing from China market and slowing performance. It is reported that on the eve of 2018 Tmall Double Eleven, the homepage of the British fast fashion brand Topshop Tmall flagship store announced that due to the adjustment of international business operation strategy, the Tmall flagship store will be closed in the near future. In December 2018, another British fast fashion brand, new look, also announced its withdrawal from the China market.

The 2018 financial report released by Inditex Group, a well-known fashion retail giant in Spain, pointed out that the group’s sales from February 1 to October 31, 2018 were 8.437 billion euros, an increase of 2.64% over the same period in 2017, which was the worst year since 2008. 

Also in 2018, international fast fashion brands such as ZARA, H&M, and GAP also suffered from the waterloo–GAP experienced a large-scale store closure, and the opening speed of ZARA and H&M also slowed down significantly. Only Uniqlo, relying on the core competitive advantage of its all-direct offline stores, is still sinking at the rate of 80-100 stores per year, which can be described as outstanding. 

In life and all walks of life, all kinds of signs continue to show that thinking produces knowledge, slowness produces worry, arrogance produces resentment, and depression produces disease. 

Positive is always an absolute signal of success, and truly positive enterprises and people will not "wash the mud when the radish is fast" 

Behind the frequent closing and slowing down of fast fashion brands, it reflects the cruelty of financial report data and the continuous decline of performance growth rate. 

On the one hand, the reason for the decline is "fast". The fast fashion brand represented by ZARA has strong supply chain management ability, and the time from design to production is extremely short, which effectively meets the consumption needs of modern fast-paced life. However, it is good to master the balance between fast and good. As the saying goes, "radish is fast and does not wash mud", and the quality problems of fast fashion brands are numerous, which has hit consumers’ enthusiasm for buying. 

On the other hand, it is on the "foreign". The brands mentioned in the article that cut stores and quit China are all "foreign" brands. During the more than ten years since fast fashion brands entered the China market, China local fast fashion brands such as MJstyle, Hot Air and La Chapelle have also risen rapidly. They have a better understanding of Chinese’s figure and have developed many products with more Chinese characteristics, which have gradually impacted foreign brands. With the deep influence of the Internet, a number of Internet brands have been gradually promoted and loved by consumers, such as Handu Yishe, Clothes Tiancheng, Qiushui Yiren, Shesi, etc. Internet brands have also intensified the competition of fast fashion. 

In the past two years, in addition to the often mentioned slowdown in economic growth in the global environment, fast fashion itself still has problems such as inventory backlog, intensified competition, brand homogenization, decreased sense of design, serious plagiarism, aesthetic fatigue, severe quality problems, and repeated discounts. 

There are those who go with the flow and those who go against the current. A proactive brand will not let itself go downstream, and Uniqlo is one of the proactive brands. If we count the changes made by Uniqlo over the years, we will find that the so-called basic models have actually devoted a lot of efforts to Uniqlo. Under the concept of "LifeWear suits life", a thermal underwear and Uniqlo can be made for ten years, and new attempts are made on the original basis every year; A polar fleece, from research and development to listing, Uniqlo is meticulous and stylish. While turning the basic model into a classic model, Uniqlo is becoming more confident and willing to make new attempts, not only co-signing with Marvel Comics, Nintendo, Alexander Wang, etc., but also accelerating the omni-channel linkage, so that consumers can get the products and services they want anytime and anywhere. This also explains why people think that Uniqlo, which has spanned more than half a century, is younger and more energetic in recent years-the simpler it is, the more it can stand the test of time, and because it is classic, it will never be out of date. This is the quality and high cost performance of Uniqlo. 

Environmental protection is a belief and the active choice of all successful people in all walks of life.

Among the reasons why fast fashion is slowing down, there is also a temporary slowdown caused by fast fashion brands starting to work hard for sustainable development. In order to slow down with more environmentally-friendly materials and more environmentally-friendly technology, this is the active choice of all the sustainable winners in the field of fast fashion. 

Fast fashion is based on rich money and fast operation, but the production process from raw materials to printing and dyeing is all from nature. There are a lot of air pollution, wastewater pollution, soil pollution and plastic waste pollution caused by e-commerce logistics during the processing. With the increasingly serious ecological and environmental problems and the rising public awareness of environmental protection, fast fashion brands and the whole industry have begun to explore sustainable development actively or passively.

For example, the packaging of fast fashion products produces a lot of plastic waste, and plastic waste pollution is a huge global environmental challenge, and no brand can deal with it alone. In order to cope with the environmental enemy of plastics, at the end of October 2018, 290 organizations including major global packaging manufacturers, brands, retailers, recyclers, governments and NGOs signed the "Global Commitment of New Plastics Economy", which aims to curb plastic pollution from the source. The signatory enterprises indicated that they would take active measures to stop using unnecessary plastic packaging. Fast fashion companies such as H&M and ZARA’s parent company Inditex Group are all involved.

Since H&M launched the Conscious Exclusive series made of renewable materials in 2013, brands such as ZARA, GAP and Uniqlo and their parent companies have all started concrete measures for sustainability. On the one hand, it is to clear the name of fast fashion and regain consumers’ goodwill towards the brand, on the other hand, it is also considered for its long-term development and adaptation to the times. 

According to reports, GAP Group, the parent company of American brand GAP, previously promised that in 2021, the group will only buy cotton from organic farms or its recognized sustainable producers; Haines Morris Group, the parent company of H&M, said that all raw materials for product manufacturing will come from recycling by 2030, and the current proportion has reached 30%; Japan Fast Retailing Group is committed to using less water and chemicals in the manufacturing process.

The rise of domestic brand mission is the need of China and the hope of China.

Not only the international fast fashion giants, but also many domestic brands are quietly promoting sustainable fashion.

For example, Ordos, a well-known brand in cashmere industry, is also practicing the concept of sustainable fashion. In order to solve the contradiction between the high demand for cashmere and the scarcity of raw materials, Ordos protects pastures and sheep breeds on the one hand, and minimizes the idle and waste of resources on the other, including cashmere conservation and recycling. Ordos established the National Cashmere Maintenance Center, aiming at prolonging the service life of the products. In addition, the "coat for coat" project has been implemented, which can transform parents’ cashmere coats into children’s clothes, and several new clothes can be regenerated by simple working procedures. 

Of course, some people say that the fast fashion industry is hostile to environmental protection and nature. The biggest challenge for the fast fashion industry to explore the sustainable direction is to coordinate the prices of sustainable products and still meet the low prices of fast fashion. With the development of technology and the scale of sustainable and fast fashion products, the cost will drop, and the cost of environmentally-friendly and sustainable materials will gradually drop to the same as that of ordinary series. 

Nowadays, people’s aesthetic trend is also comfortable and sustainable. From the phenomenon that Uniqlo, which advocates the concept of "adapting to life", can go against the trend and still maintain rapid growth in the downturn of global fast fashion, it is not difficult to find that the sustainable market will not only drag down fast fashion, but also point out the development direction for the depressed fast fashion. Whoever gets on the express train of "sustainable fashion" first will have a greater chance of taking the lead in the next round of competition. 

Fashion should be sustainable. Enterprises and industries are getting bigger and bigger, and they should assume social responsibilities. 

At the business level, fast fashion must think and take multiple countermeasures. 

In addition to developing in the direction of environmental protection and sustainability, fast brands should take more diversified measures.

Common countermeasures are: increasing online business and opening flagship stores in mainstream e-commerce; Adopt a multi-brand strategy to cover people of different styles and ages as much as possible. For example, Inditex Group has Pull &Bear, Bershka, Stradivarius and other brands besides ZARA, and La Chapelle owns sub-brands such as Puella and LaBabite. Offline stores provide clothing one-stop shopping service, which is expanded in the form of a collection store; Strengthen the connection between fashion and science and technology, and apply science and technology to the logistics, product selection and trend prediction of fast fashion; There are still many brands that continue to sink their channels, expand into third-and fourth-tier cities, and carve up the "demographic dividend" that has not been completely carved up. 

In recent years, fast fashion brands are also making efforts to choose spokespersons, hoping to exchange traffic for sales. For example, ZARA, which has never invited a spokesperson before, launched Leo and Zhou Dongyu as brand ambassadors in Greater China in September last year, hoping to convert traffic into sales through the star-bringing and fan effect. Other celebrity spokesperson cases include Handu Yishe asking Gulnazar to endorse, VERO MODA asking Jiang Shuying to endorse, and Uniqlo asking Jing Bo Ran and NiNi to endorse. 

Of course, the detonation of the star effect also needs to be based on the excellent quality of products and good service experience. Take Uniqlo, a fast fashion giant, for example. Every year, it launches basic models that have stood the test of time and designer models that cooperate with international designers, so that consumers can freely choose between the basic models that are necessary for "adapting to life" and the designer models that pursue fashion. Fast fashion is always catching up with the trend of fashion, and Uniqlo does the opposite. After inhaling the popular elements, it is reflected in the timeless basic models, but it has achieved good leading effect.

Consumers use purchasing power to give feedback on the fast fashion response measures. In 2018, just after the zero point of Tmall Double Eleven, Uniqlo Tmall flagship store broke through 100 million in 35 seconds, becoming the champion of double eleven clothing sales. A total of 237 brands in Tmall Double Eleven had a turnover of over 100 million, of which clothing accounted for 27%. Fast fashion has found new opportunities in e-commerce and tasted the real "sweetness". However, entering e-commerce is not the only way to respect the times. Some insiders pointed out that although e-commerce platform can help it solve the inventory problem to a certain extent, the new logistics cost brought by the new e-commerce business will also test the integration ability of the supply chain. 

Li Ning’s resurgence provides an example for domestic sports brands. 

On this side, many fast fashion brands have a positive attitude towards reform, trying many things that have not been done or paid attention to before, in an attempt to find new growth points in diversified measures; On the other hand, because the traditional sporting goods market is weak in growth and old in style, it can’t attract the attention of a new generation of young people, and some domestic sports brands have begun to take the step of transforming the fashion field.

When it comes to the transformation of domestic sports brands into the fashion field, we have to mention the brand Li Ning.

In February 2018, Li Ning appeared at New York Fashion Week, and the word "China Li Ning" became a hot topic. Representing China’s red and yellow color scheme, sweaters and retro jackets with "China Li Ning" printed on the chest, windproof jackets with silver color scheme in the future, and clothes with Li Ning’s gymnastics photos, there are both traditional culture and modern trends. Li Ning brand integrates Chinese style and retro elements into new products. This exhibition is also the first appearance of domestic sports brands at New York Fashion Week. With this exposure, Li Ning brand has a truly explosive product "Enlightenment" series. 

Then, Li Ning also boarded New York Fashion Week in autumn and winter of 2018 and Paris Men’s Wear Week in spring and summer of 2019, which was recognized by the fashion industry and many hipster stars. Li Ning, who made three appearances in International Fashion Week, not only ignited Chinese’s national self-confidence, but also regained the love of young people with the design of fashion trends, and gradually gained her own international fans. The sales volume and price soared, which was directly reflected in the rising stock price and the turnaround in turnover. 

Li Ning’s recovery and rise did not happen overnight. After experiencing the explosive growth of the 2008 Olympic Games, Li Ning was indifferent to the post-90 s because of inaccurate positioning, and even fell into a large-scale store closing tide. After Li Ning, the founder, returned to China, he emphasized the design and development of the brand, paid attention to differentiation, and repositioned Li Ning, positioning the brand as a high-end international market brand when marching into the international market. 

This proves that we can find a balance between China traditional culture and contemporary trends, and integrate China style into modern design. 

Besides Li Ning, who is "anything is possible", Anta, who is "never stop", should also be more familiar to the public.

In 2018, Anta’s annual operating income reached RMB 24.1 billion, which is the best-selling brand among domestic sports brands. Anta has also entered the fashion field in recent years. The latest trend is to launch explosive old shoes in 2018, and jointly launched cooperation funds with NASA and Marvel Comics; In 2019, Anta announced the launch of the first overbearing life shoes, which caused quite a stir in the fashion circle. At present, there are only two color numbers in the official online shop of Anta.

International sports brands Adidas and Nike have been in fashion for many years. The fashion transformation of Li Ning and Anta not only adapts to the transformation of the times, but also affects the trend of the times. The boundary between fashion and sports is increasingly blurred, and the fashion trend of sports brands has become an established trend of the whole industry. Local sports brands such as Xtep, 361 Degrees, Hongxing Erke and Peak are also working hard in the direction of youthfulness and fashion.

But in the end, whether playing Chinese style, cross-border or emphasizing individuality and youthfulness, its essence is to maintain consumers’ recognition of the brand in the rapidly changing competitive market.

This may also show that sports brands have become a general trend, and domestic sports brands should make efforts in the field of fast fashion.

There is no blue ocean, but an infinite secret is found in the red sea.

The four things of food, clothing, housing and transportation are always unavoidable topics for everyone, and "clothing" is one of them. "Clothes" also derived the function of showing beauty and personality from the original function of keeping warm and avoiding the body. The consumption of clothes is not only out of the necessity of life, but also from the pursuit of a better life. 

Although the voice of singing bad fast fashion is one after another, in the long run, it is not rash to judge the future development of fast fashion industry, because industries closely related to life have a characteristic that it will not go to the peak or fall to the bottom instantly. A short adjustment period may also be the beginning of the next round of outbreaks. Moreover, many brands are still star shops in the business district. 

Today’s fast fashion industry seems to be a little tired on the surface, but it has entered a mature stage rather than declining. The consumption impulse of users has not changed, but the pursuit of beauty has become higher and more personalized. How to spend the mature period and open up new markets is exactly the challenge that different brands need to meet in the next time according to their own positioning. The commonness of all challenges in all walks of life is the same, that is, all leaders have to do two things, one is to set ambitious goals, and the other is to ignite passion. 

Uniqlo has given the answer to this in recent years.

To succeed, to be safe, to be happy, to be happy and to be cool, we must return to the road of charge! 

Just after 996, big and small weeks have come: the work rhythm of exhausting and fishing will overdraw the future of society.

The original Astrid elite said

Recently, an article entitled "Children Left Behind on the Internet: The Next Generation of Employees of Dachang" spread rapidly on the Internet, which aroused the resonance of countless parents of "996" social animals.

In the article, a Douban netizen described what he witnessed with his own eyes in an Internet factory in China: the parents who were employees went to the square downstairs at five or six o’clock in the evening, and the old man brought the children over, and the parents and children met in a hurry to talk. Then the old man took the baby home for dinner and homework, and the parents continued to go back to work and move bricks until midnight.

The picture is from Phoenix News.

Coincidentally, Tencent News has also filmed a documentary-"People in the Workplace in a Broken Situation", which also reflects the plight of 996 parents in big cities.

Zhang Ting, the head of the Internet company, gets up at six o’clock every morning, commutes for two hours by car, and gets home from work at eleven or twelve o’clock. Her daughter has fallen asleep long ago and has little time to spend with her children. Her greatest wish is to "spend a day with her daughter without a job."

The seemingly ordinary wish of "spending a good day with children" has poked pain in the hearts of many parents in the workplace, especially the parents of dual-employees of Internet companies in first-tier cities.

The picture comes from the parent-child companion survey in China city.

Some netizens also believe that the parents of Internet giant 996 can at least provide high-quality educational resources for their children and pave the way for their future, while practitioners in other industries, including media people, designers, construction workers, couriers, etc., also have long-term overtime work in 996 or even 007, but they can’t get the corresponding high-paying treatment.

However, these added values become insignificant in the face of "death".

Some time ago, the news that "a 23-year-old female employee in Pinduoduo worked overtime until one o’clock in the morning and died suddenly on the street" aroused widespread concern in society. The girl fell at the beginning of her life, and didn’t even come to have her own family and children, let alone have a chance to weigh whether all the sacrifices were worth it. The picture is from Zhihu.

Pinduoduo responded that "fighting with life" in front of capital,

Even "desperate" is a matter of course!

From "996" to "big and small weeks", overtime forms emerge one after another. "I have time to earn money, but I don’t have time to spend money" is not only a self-mockery of office workers, but also the status quo of many people in the workplace who are hopelessly struggling in life. When group overtime is blooming everywhere and getting worse, the harm it brings is not just the education of children. ……

996 of Daxie Platform = Struggle?

In recent years, social animals started to shout "Work 996, Sick ICU", which set off a climax of debate and criticism on the Internet. However, Internet tycoons have wrapped 996 platform with the sugar coating of "love work and hard work", as if 996 represents struggle, and refusing 996 is lazy.

Ma Yun’s father doesn’t have to say, "996 is a blessing", which is a resounding story.

The picture comes from the Internet.

Some employees in sogou once anonymously complained about the overtime hours of the company. Sogou CEO Wang Xiaochuan immediately denied that this was a written system, leaving a malicious remark: "People who don’t agree with the company system should either adapt or give feedback and suggestions to help the company improve. What is it to come out and talk? Get out of here if you have the guts. "

JD.COM once issued an email signed by Liu Qiangdong, demanding that three types of people be eliminated resolutely, and those employees who can’t work hard and have low cost performance should be swept out of the house immediately.

The picture comes from the Internet.

Aauto Quicker followed closely, announcing that the Week will be held on January 10th, 2021.

The Internet development model of rapid iteration, trial and error, and small steps and quick running has created the miracle of the Internet in China. In the face of economic downturn, it is cheaper to let employees run at full capacity than to find new growth opportunities. Therefore, what entrepreneurs need is "good employees" who can drink "chicken soup for success", keep up with the rhythm, and don’t shout bitterness or tiredness.

996 has nothing to do with struggle, but with interests.

The picture comes from the Internet.

Whether employees have enough private time to rest, whether their families are harmonious, and whether the next generation grows up healthily are not within their consideration. For entrepreneurs, enterprise benefits come first. They don’t lack people who consciously work overtime until 12 o’clock. If you don’t go, others will go.

Actually, 996 is not a "new concept". Domestic overtime culture and "wolf-like" corporate culture have been prevalent for a long time. The working system of 996 expanded from the early entrepreneurial passion to the daily life of enterprises, and then developed into a mandatory management means, which even produced some disadvantages.

In the all-weather science and technology report, a Tencent employee reported that in the general 996 environment, you always leave work early, and your superiors will think that your work is not saturated, or your work enthusiasm is not high, so some employees in the team will stay in the company even if they have finished their work, and they will not leave work until the time. There are also some enterprises that feel good when they see others engaging in 996 and engaging in wolf culture, and they also want to promote the atmosphere in their own companies. No matter what happens, they start to advocate 996.

At the same time, people’s complex emotions about 996 are accumulating day by day. In the environment of strict epidemic control, economic downturn, layoffs and salary cuts, entrepreneurs continue to put 996 blessings on the table and kidnap us with successful chicken soup, and everyone’s dissatisfaction with 996 broke out.

Netizens’ complex emotions about 996 (picture from the network)

"This world shouldn’t be like this" is gradually "awakened" by "resource-based" tool people: 996= struggle? Then why does such "struggle" make people feel "instrumentalized"? Did the "struggle" of 996 really bring you inner satisfaction after sacrificing your health, rest and hobbies?

We in 996, alienated "tool people"

Rejecting 996 is not to deny the meaning of labor and struggle, but to deny the labor alienation hidden behind the mysterious logic of "996= struggle".

Some people will wonder, why do big Internet companies hire high-intensity employees with high salaries? Instead of hiring more people and paying less for each person, let everyone work in a more humane way?

Xiang Biao, a professor of social anthropology at Oxford University, gave an explanation. This system is designed to better control employees. Working hours are lengthened, the number of workers is reduced, and people are attracted by high wages. Under this game rule, there is a highly tense competition among migrant workers.

When everyone arrives at their posts, they will only go to work without reflection. At the same time, with fewer people, the relationship between people is also less and it becomes easier to control.

The picture comes from pear video.

When time and intensity are too oppressive, people will have a strong feeling of being alienated and instrumentalized.

If you work eight hours a day and have a buffer, people’s perception is completely different. A person who gets off work at six o’clock every day and doesn’t get off work until 90 o’clock every night leads two completely different lives.

After work at six o’clock, you can be in the mood to cook a good meal, go to a movie, get together with friends, and take the children for a walk, instead of rushing to take a few takeaways, so busy with the computer until late at night that you gradually regard work as the basis of the meaning of life and have no time to stop and think.

The working system of 996 crushes people into tools. Labor is only a means to maintain the survival of oneself and family. The laborer becomes a commodity and is regarded as a part of a huge system, and the employees repeatedly compare and consider its cost performance.

The picture comes from the Internet.

What is even more frightening is that under this system, the cost performance of workers will become lower and lower.

Marx once said: "The more wealth a worker produces, the greater the strength and quantity of his products, and the poorer he is. The more goods a worker creates, the cheaper he becomes. The appreciation of the world of things is directly proportional to the depreciation of the world of people. " That’s right. It’s the essence of 996.

Long-term default to 996 will make the whole labor market deteriorate gradually, and the working hours of individuals will also depreciate. If everyone is tempted by short-term high salary and connives at the continuation of 996, it will cause a vicious competition.

In the future, your 996 is worthless, because others can live in the company for 24 hours at last. This kind of arms race is headless, and workers will lose their bargaining power with capital more and more. In order to make more money for the time being, I sacrificed my body and family and gave up my saved capital. In the future, I will "struggle" and will only be ruthlessly abandoned by enterprises.

The picture comes from the Internet.

What’s more, under 996, I worked hard for more than ten hours every day, and I had no personal life and no time to reflect. I was constantly consumed in repetitive busyness, and my creativity at work would disappear.

Imagine, if we are all social animals, dead presidents, how can we expect someone to create new things and produce new ideas?

The picture comes from the Internet.

Silicon Valley is the world’s science and technology center, which has nurtured great innovative enterprises such as Apple, Google, Facebook and Tesla. But here, there is no company that adopts 996 in a unified way, and there is no company that implements large and small weeks. Most companies guarantee weekends every week, and the working days are normally from 10 to 6. A few companies take turns to adopt the on call system, but it is only once or twice a year, half a week or a week at a time.

In Silicon Valley, overtime is very rare. Even if there is, employees who want to be promoted will choose to work overtime on their own initiative. The company will never give an employee a hard time or eliminate him because he refuses to work overtime. On the contrary, it may cause resentment from the boss.

At Google headquarters, employees are playing beach volleyball.

Silicon Valley generally adopts a management mode of high commitment rather than high control. High commitment means providing employees with a relaxed working atmosphere and independent working space, so that employees can enjoy a free state. After employees feel that their personal rights and interests are respected, they will spontaneously put themselves into work, but their work efficiency will be improved.

996, who exhausted his resources and fished,

Overdraft is the future of the whole society.

The extensive development mode of 996 is very short-sighted. Once the cycle of rapid development of the industry has passed, such simple and rude management methods will not apply. High pressure and quick output may bring short-term explosive power, but they lack the toughness of long-distance running, which is a long-term solution rather than a long-term solution.

Since 1996, employees’ physical and mental health has been severely damaged, and they have collapsed and suffered from neurasthenia, which can not be compensated by short-term quantitative benefits. In the long run, employees will lose their enthusiasm and enterprises will lose their hearts. This is a great loss to individuals, families, enterprises and the country.

The picture comes from the Internet.

Some enterprises may think that this is no problem. Anyway, there are plenty of fresh leeks that can be cut. After cutting a batch, change a batch, and there is no worry about not being connected. However, this depends on the full supply of China’s labor market. With a large population and fierce competition in the talent market, even if the work intensity is extremely high, there is no worry about not recruiting people. However, with the change of the age distribution structure of the working population, the scarcity of talent supply will gradually increase. Continuing to engage in 996 will only ruin the reputation and image of the enterprise, which is a manifestation of low management ability.

In 2019, China’s fertility rate has fallen below the warning line of 1.5. In 2018 and 2019, it is only between 1.1 and 1.2. If the fertility rate falls below 1.5, it will fall into the trap of low fertility rate, and it is difficult to rise again. For example, in Japan, after the total fertility rate fell below 1.5 in 1995, although the government has been vigorously encouraging fertility, the total fertility rate has not been able to rise above 1.5. It is optimistically estimated that the population of China will begin to shrink within ten years, and the population of China will fall below 600 million by the end of this century. The demographic dividend that China’s economic growth has always enjoyed is disappearing.

Behind this phenomenon, 996 is also one of the factors. Ultra-long working hours and intense work pressure make it difficult for people to have time and energy to raise the next generation, not to mention that raising a baby requires huge economic expenses. At present, although the country has opened two children, many young people don’t even have the energy and money to have a child.

In the past, "left-behind children" were children whose parents went to work in cities, stayed alone in the countryside or grew up with their grandparents. Now, many urban children have become "left-behind children in cities". Parents are busy with work, so they have to leave their children in the care of the elderly and nannies. Although they enjoy more resources than left-behind children in rural areas, they will also have problems such as loneliness, depression, sensitivity and paranoia because of the lack of parental companionship. Why do young people in China not want to have children, considering the dilemma of raising babies for the employees of big Internet companies mentioned at the beginning? It should be easy to understand.

To continue to advocate 996 is to drag the country into the abyss of a vicious circle.

The picture comes from the Internet.

"workers, decent people", 996 when the exit.

Zhou Yu, a professor of organization and talent strategy teaching in the Business School of Renmin University of China, said in an interview with Caijing that the sustainable development of human beings and the balance between life and work have become a social demand in the West since the 1950s. Since the 1990s, western enterprises have paid great attention to the sustainable development of human beings, emphasizing the work-life balance of employees and the healthy balance of employees’ body and mind.

China is now in this transitional period.

The advanced technology, the sustainability of business logic and the civilized degree of organization and management are the necessary components for China enterprises to gain international competitiveness. The most important thing to manage the sustainability of civilization is to manage and draw people’s sustainability, and to really and effectively stimulate people’s innovative potential, rather than simply relying on the extension of labor hours to manage people.

The picture is from Weibo.

Stopping 996 is in line with the development situation. Although people generally call for a more reasonable management method than 996, individuals are still in a weak position for enterprise organizations. This change requires the government to give stricter supervision.

To improve the implementation of laws and regulations related to labor security, local labor security departments should take responsibility and do something at critical times. With the support of the government, workers can stand upright and be confident when safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests, and there is less sadness left for people to sigh afterwards. I hope that in the future, we can all work with more dignity and dignity.

Revealing the Happy Life of "Tang Priest" Zhongrui Chi and the richest woman in China


  Zhongrui Chi and Chen Lihua, the president of Fuhua Group, who is a teenager older than him. (data picture)


  Beijing Youth Weekly reported on May 7. Becoming famous because of "Tang Priest", being controversial because of marriage, and being calm because of Buddhism-


  Born into a family of Peking Opera, he was deeply influenced by art since childhood and naturally embarked on the road of performing arts.


  Passing Yang Jie, the director of The Journey to the West, made him become attached to Tang Priest, and successfully shaped the role of Tang Priest in The Journey to the West, becoming the last Tang Priest to "get the true scriptures";


  His marriage with Ms. Chen Lihua, who is ten years older than him, has caused a lot of controversy, and he laughed it off.


  After the marriage, he quietly walked off the stage, quit the screen, and then walked out of the public eye.


  ● Yesterday reappeared.


  On December 23rd, 1952, Zhongrui Chi was born into a family of five generations of Peking Opera in Beijing. He was deeply influenced by the art of Peking Opera since childhood. However, Zhongrui Chi failed to take the road of Peking Opera in the end, for one thing, he was 1.80 meters tall, and for another, he caught up with the Cultural Revolution in China.


  Although he didn’t enter Beijing Opera, the artistic edification he received since he was a child can’t be lost. Zhongrui Chi took a tortuous artistic path: first he worked as a farmer in Heilongjiang Construction Corps, and then he worked as a literary and art soldier in Yunnan. After he retired, he was admitted to China Broadcasting Art Troupe. Two years later, he was sent to Shanghai Theatre Academy to go to college and became the first batch of college students after the Cultural Revolution.


  After graduation, Zhongrui Chi came to China TV production center and became a professional actor. He has shot a large number of film and television works, playing Du Mingguang in Golden Late Autumn. The second son Huan in "Love in the Pen"; Sun Shuikang, the leader of aquatic products in This is not a misunderstanding; Characters such as Sai Shang Xiao in Harbin at Night.


  One day in 1984, Zhongrui Chi finished filming Harbin at Night and went back to the troupe to get his salary. In the dark corridor, he almost ran into an oncoming stranger, Yang Jie, the director of The Journey to the West.


  At that time, The Journey to the West had just filmed half of it. Xu Shaohua, the actor of Tang Priest, had to leave the crew for some reason. Without the "master", the whole crew was in a state of downtime, and director Yang Jiezheng was so anxious about it that she met Zhongrui Chi.


  "I have to say that this is the Buddha’s edge. When I passed by in the corridor, Yang Jie decided that I was the best candidate for Tang Priest. A week after we met, I put on my cassock and rode on Bai Longma. "


  In 1988, The Journey to the West premiered in China, and the Tang Priest played by Zhongrui Chi was unanimously recognized by the audience. The four men became the most popular stars for a time, and attracted much attention wherever they went. However, at this moment, Zhongrui Chi chose to leave. He married Ms. Chen Lihua, the richest man in China, who was ten years older than him, and retired from the entertainment industry and started a new life.


  Our reporter takes you to visit the new life in Zhongrui Chi.


  They had a glorious history; They may have spent your youth with you; They used to be idols of a generation … Time flies and times have changed. Now they have bid farewell to their glory and started a new life. Show you their second life by comparing them. In this issue, the character-Zhongrui Chi is recorded.


  "Late Chief" in Luxury Palace [nowadays]


  At 9: 00 a.m. in a spring March, we arrived at the gate of China Red Sandalwood Museum on the northwest side of Gaobeidian Bridge in Beijing’s East Fourth Ring Road. Compared with the busy and congested streets in the morning rush hour, it was particularly spacious and deserted.


  At the gate, a big boy wearing a security uniform just pushed out the wooden box for collecting tickets. Under his guidance, we bypassed the museum in front and came to the back. We walked past a stone bridge, and there was a building with more than ten floors. The exquisite decoration of the building made people think of the word "magnificent". Upstairs, in the middle of the building, the three golden characters "Lihua Pavilion" shine in the sun.


  Walking into the interior of Lihua Pavilion, you will immediately feel the solemnity and luxury inside, just like walking into an ancient palace: there is a wide rosewood screen facing you, a huge and beautiful crystal chandelier overhead, all doors, windows and partitions are made of wood, with couplets and carved beams and painted buildings, and two elevators are hidden behind the antique wooden door frame, which makes people have to sigh the perfect combination of classical and modern.


  This is a modern comprehensive building with a classical appearance, with office area, hotel, gym, swimming pool, KTV and so on.


  We were taken into a reception room on the second floor. There are three floors in the room, which are still wooden doors, wooden windows and wooden floors. The outermost room is a rosewood screen, a plush chair and a mahogany long table, the second room is a circle of sofas and coffee tables, and the innermost room is a rosewood collapse. No sooner had we settled down in the plush chair than someone came in and poured tea.


  After sitting for a moment, with the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor and the greeting of the staff, Zhongrui Chi came in. He was in a good mental state, flushed and with a gentle smile on his face. It is still the appearance of the Tang Priest in The Journey to the West in the past, and it is still a loud and magnetic voice. The opening remarks are: "As soon as you see this rosewood museum, you will understand what I have done since I left the audience for more than ten years, at a glance."


  Why did Zhongrui Chi, who successfully shaped the role of Tang Priest in The Journey to the West, put aside his good performing career and open the rosewood museum instead? This has to start with his marriage.

Questionnaire survey on consumption recovery: 90% of the respondents are willing to travel and meet business opportunities.

  In a resort hotel in Suzhou, Ms. Zhang and her family booked a 2-night stay, as well as a 2-day vegetarian meal and Chinese massage. "Our family has ‘ Yangkang ’ After a while, the relevant policies have been relaxed, and our family has not traveled for a long time, so we hope to go out for fun, but unlike before, ‘ Yangkang ’ After that, we paid more attention to healing tourism, instead of arranging too full a trip, mainly to relax ourselves and even add some rehabilitation projects. " Ms. Zhang said.

  Ms. Zhang’s travel choices and ideas are typical representatives of many tourists this year. CBN recently publicly conducted a questionnaire survey on "Consumer Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy?" After collecting more than 1,200 valid questionnaires, it was found that it was asked "Which fields of goods or services would you consume?" At that time, tourism ranked first, reaching 91.24%. In other words, tourism that can satisfy people’s spiritual pleasure consumption is what most people will choose in the consumer market this year, and many tourists’ willingness to travel this year is obviously strengthened compared with previous years.

  After recent interviews and investigations, the First Financial Reporter learned that this year, with the recovery of outbound travel and the warming of inter-provincial travel, tourism will inevitably usher in recovery and business opportunities. After experiencing the epidemic, more tourists began to favor healing tours and some extended cultural tours with experience. Of course, how to restart the outbound travel business, do a good job in the derivative projects of Dawen Travel and attract tourism professionals are also challenges that the industry needs to face.

  90% of the respondents want to travel, and nearly 60% of the tourists have a single budget of more than 10,000 yuan.

  In the three years since the epidemic, outbound travel has been suspended, domestic travel has been repeatedly blown, and repeated epidemics in various places have also made scenic spots open and closed. Local consumption has become the main mode of tourism in the past three years, which has given birth to some in-depth local tourism products.

  This year, with the relaxation of relevant policies, people’s willingness to travel, which has been suppressed for many years, seems to have a "small blowout". According to the questionnaire survey of CBN’s Consumer Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy, 91.24% of the respondents chose to have a travel plan this year. When asked whether this year’s willingness to travel has increased compared with previous years, 85.85% of the respondents said that this year’s willingness to travel has increased or at least remained the same.

  The above questionnaire survey also shows that 60.2% of the respondents have plans for domestic travel this year, and 32.37% of the respondents plan to go both for domestic travel and outbound travel this year.

  In terms of tourism consumption expenditure, 57.39% of the respondents have a budget of 10,000 ~ 20,000 yuan per capita for single tourism consumption this year, and 32.6% of the respondents have a budget of 5,000 ~ 10,000 yuan for single tourism consumption, accounting for 5.63% of the respondents with 1000 yuan ~ 5,000 yuan.

  "In 2019, the tourism industry reached a relative peak. The tourism market in the past few years should have been very vigorous. However, when it encountered an epidemic, both domestic and outbound travel were hit. However, after the epidemic, people have strengthened their willingness to travel, and some spiritual pleasures have been favored by people. You see, in the consumption of Women’s Day just past, ‘ Yueji ’ It’s a key word. Women are very particular about their inner experience when they travel. Therefore, we will see that in the process of consumption recovery this year, more subdivided products with spiritual pleasure will be released, and more themed tourist routes and accommodation products will be developed. " Cheng Chaogong, chief researcher of Tongcheng Research Institute, told the First Financial Reporter.

  Inter-provincial tourism is heating up, and the healing market has great potential.

  According to the tourism market data of Spring Festival, Women’s Day and other nodes this year, domestic tourism is the first to recover, and the results of the questionnaire survey of "Consumption Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy" of CBN also show that 60.2% of the respondents have plans for domestic tourism this year.

  "Last year’s camping was in the market ‘ Kill ’ Out of a horse ‘ Dark horse ’ In fact, it is also a market cultivated because everyone can only focus on local consumption. Among them, the consumption of camping, RV and related supplies increased significantly in 2022. " Yang Songbai, general manager of RV Life Home, told the First Financial Reporter.

  According to the data of companies such as Ctrip, Tongcheng, Mama Donkey, Flying Pig, Qunar, Tuniu, Mahoneycomb and Spring and Autumn Tourism, last year, in low-risk areas, the "two-hour holiday circle" became the mainstream. Last year, the local tour orders during holidays such as "May Day" accounted for more than 80%, and most of them were non-group tourists, while camping became a "dark horse". The surrounding camping market continued to heat up during the "May Day" last year, and the popularity of "camping" related travel search increased by 117% from the previous month. At that time, the number of camping orders for flying pigs increased by over 350% month-on-month, and Hangzhou, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Beijing, Zhuhai, Changzhou, Foshan and Chongqing ranked among the top ten cities in China as popular camping tourist sources.

  In Yang Songbai’s view, after the rapid recovery of cross-provincial tourism this year, camping and other popular tourism projects last year can still be continued, but we must make sub-products that meet the needs of consumers. "For example, some high-quality local tourism projects can be retained, but they can be combined with inter-provincial RV camping, travel agency channel marketing and local homestays to make domestic tourism products. Nowadays, there are many young guests who like to drive by car, experience special homestays and travel freely. We must understand their needs. " Yang Songbai told the First Financial Reporter.

  In addition to camping and RV tours, three years after the outbreak, a large number of consumers are paying more and more attention to health-related consumption, and healing tourism is one of them.

  According to the survey results of CBN’s "Consumer Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy?", more consumers have increased their spending in the health field this year, among which 87.18% of the respondents have a willingness to consume healthy food. It is worth noting that as many as 55.24% of the respondents are willing to participate in healing tourism this year, and 30.15% of the respondents have plans to participate in rehabilitation activities this year. It can be seen that healing tourism is a bright direction in the recovery of tourism consumption this year.

  "The epidemic once pressed the pause button for our industry, but this year is definitely a business opportunity for recovery. There are two sides to everything. Although the epidemic situation has a great impact on the cultural tourism industry, it has also made more consumers pay attention to health care, and healing tourism has become a trend. The core products of the project "Yin Yu Shui Zhong Tian" invested and developed by us include the journey of mindfulness life, the series of trips of body and mind co-cultivation, etc. to help guests understand their physical and mental health, and also include service teams such as Chinese medicine practitioners, rehabilitation experts, health coaches and nutritionists. These holiday tourism projects combined with healing courses are very in line with people’s demand for recreational travel this year. This year, our key planning project is the Unity International Cultural Festival, to discuss with the industry how to cope with the challenges brought by the development of the times. This year, we will continue to deepen the health industry and continue to help promote the development of the big health industry. " Cao Weide, chairman of Wanbang Pan Asia Group and founder of Yinyu, said in an interview with China Business News.

  It is precisely because of the warming of healing tourism that according to the data of Ctrip, Tongcheng, Mama Donkey, Flying Pig, Qunar, Tuniu, Mawei and Spring and Autumn Tourism, the heat of cities near and south of the Tropic of Cancer such as Sanya, Zhuhai, Xishuangbanna, Dali, Xiamen, Haikou, Tengchong and Beihai soared. Among them, the healing holiday tour in Sanya and some areas of Yunnan is the most popular. Yang Yang, general manager of Beijing Spring and Autumn Travel Agency, said that at the beginning of this year, many tourists chose to go to Sanya for "continuous recuperation", and most of these tourists were "Yangkang" tourists from North China. Spring and Autumn Tourism has also developed a variety of tourism products suitable for "Yangkang" treatment and recuperation, which directly boosted the recovery of cross-provincial tourism this year.

  Opportunities and challenges of restarting outbound travel

  Recently, for the tourism market, it can be said that there are frequent good news. First, it is pointed out in the government work report that restoring and expanding consumption are given priority. Increase the income of urban and rural residents through multiple channels. Stabilize bulk consumption and promote the recovery of life service consumption.

  On March 10th, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued the Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on the pilot resumption of the travel agency’s business of China citizens’ outbound teams to relevant countries (the second batch). According to the circular, starting from March 15th, 2023, the national travel agencies and online travel enterprises will be resumed on a pilot basis to operate China citizens’ outbound group tours to relevant countries (the second batch) and "air tickets+hotels" business. From now on, travel agencies and online travel companies can carry out preparations such as product release, publicity and promotion. List of countries involved in (the second batch of) outbound group tours: Nepal, Brunei, Vietnam, Mongolia, Iran, Jordan, Tanzania, Namibia, Mauritius, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Zambia, Senegal, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Serbia, Croatia, France, Greece, Spain, Iceland, Albania, Italy and Denmark.

  According to the survey results of CBN’s "Consumer Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy", 32.37% of the respondents plan to travel both domestically and abroad this year. In other words, at least one-third of the respondents have the willingness to spend on this year’s outbound travel.

  At the beginning of February this year, a number of outbound team tours started, mainly in the Southeast Asian market. The major overseas tourism bureaus have also started marketing for the China market in the near future. For example, the National Tourism Administration of Thailand originally planned to attract 5-6 million China tourists to Thailand this year, but after seeing the recent upsurge of China tourists’ enthusiasm for traveling to Thailand, it immediately raised its expected target. "In 2019, the number of tourists from China visiting Thailand was about 11 million, accounting for about a quarter of the total tourists in Thailand. According to the current good recovery momentum, we have raised our expectations. We now expect 7 million to 8 million China tourists to travel to Thailand this year." Yutasa, director of the National Tourism Administration of Thailand, recently revealed in an interview with the First Financial Reporter.

  At the same time, Tourism Dubai, Tourism Australia, Tourism New Zealand and Tourism Singapore are all getting together for promotion.

  "The further relaxation of outbound travel will inevitably play a positive role in the recovery of the tourism market this year. But we must also see the challenges faced by the recovery of the outbound travel market. For example, compared with domestic travel, outbound travel needs to go through a series of procedures, which are different according to the requirements of different countries, and some visa reservations need to be queued. Three years later, the local docking personnel in many outbound destination countries have also undergone great changes. For example, many local Chinese restaurants in Europe and America have switched to other formats, so it is very difficult to make a group meal of Chinese food now, and it is necessary to find a local catering business again. Local tour guides should also be re-docked. Moreover, many hotels in Europe have to book half a year or more in advance, and it is not easy to get a lot of rooms at once. The route of outbound group tour should also be redesigned, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has also led to various cost increases in some European tourist destination countries. International flights have not fully recovered, and these factors will make it take some time for some long-distance outbound travel in Europe and America to recover. To restart the docking of ground connection resources, we can foresee that the prices of some outbound travel products may double due to fewer flights and rising local costs. " Gu Wei, assistant general manager of Shanghai Airlines Tourism Group, spoke bluntly to the First Financial Reporter.

  According to the questionnaire results of CBN’s Consumer Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy, 57.39% of the respondents’ per capita spending budget for a single trip this year is 10,000-20,000 yuan, while 32.6% of the respondents’ per capita spending budget is 5,000-10,000 yuan. Judging from this, the per capita spending budget of the consumers interviewed this year is not low, even higher than in previous years.

  Tourism enterprises pay attention to creating scenes and recruiting talents again.

  In view of the positive recovery of tourism consumption this year, major tourism enterprises, scenic spots, hotels and other operators are gearing up. After three years of epidemic, most of the tourists are very sober and professional in this process — — Pure low price does not attract too many consumers, but to create attractive and cost-effective products.

  "In the past, when people talked about tourism, especially group tours, it seemed that the cheaper the better, and this once caused many tourism disputes. Now what we see is that consumers are also mature, and everyone’s requirements for high cost performance of products are prominent. So what we need to do is to integrate the resources of scenic spots and major tourist destinations, and work with them to create some new products that meet the needs of consumers. This year, we will have plans to cooperate with some regional tourist attractions or local tourism-related operators to develop projects. We can participate in investment or act as operators, instead of the past travel agencies blindly serving as organizers to send tourists. " Liu Ning, director and president of Shanghai Jinjiang Tourism Holdings Co., Ltd., revealed in an interview with China Business News.

  This is also confirmed in the questionnaire survey of CBN’s Consumer Recovery, Will You Buy in buy buy? In the questionnaire, what elements can promote consumption? Most respondents said that it was not low price, but high cost performance accounted for 93.9%, high-quality goods accounted for 90.85%, and value-added space accounted for 86.47%. It can be seen that the goods with high cost performance are the ones that consumers are most willing to spend money on, while the low price factor accounts for only 4.93%.

  The Shanghai Tourism Industry Association revealed to the First Financial Reporter that in order to make more subdivided products and cost-effective products, it is necessary to pay attention to the creation of derivative scenes of Dawen Travel. For example, in the past, tourism was purely a trip, but now many tourism products can be combined with catering and culture, and some high-quality immersive experience projects and script projects can be created as consumption scenes of Dawen Travel. Of course, this kind of project development needs the cooperation of professional planning and cultural tourism resources.

  Nowadays, Ctrip, Tongcheng Travel, Mahoneycomb, etc. are all strengthening cooperation with tourism destination resources, hoping to gather offline scenic spots, accommodation and other partners for common development. For example, recently, Tongcheng Travel announced that it intends to acquire Tongcheng Tourism at a total cost of no more than 700 million yuan. This is an attempt and layout of one-way travel in the leisure tourism and holiday market under the background of strong recovery of the tourism industry. At the end of December last year, Tongcheng Travel announced that it would acquire Tongcheng International Travel Service and promote the deep integration of its tourism and holiday business. The proposed acquisition of Tongcheng Tourism is a continuation of Tongcheng Tourism’s leisure tourism and holiday market. If this intentional acquisition can be achieved, it will effectively supplement and extend the existing business of Tongcheng Travel and deepen the control over the upstream core resources.

  It is noteworthy that due to the three-year epidemic, some travel agencies and upstream and downstream partners still face problems such as resource shortage, and they urgently need support from traffic, technology, data and capital to seize the new opportunities of industrial rejuvenation. How to jointly promote the development of digital intelligence in the industry is a problem that should be considered.

  In addition, the talent plan is also worthy of attention. Many tourism industry feedback, three years since the epidemic, many tourism practitioners have changed careers, this year’s consumption recovery, tourism recovery process needs a large number of professionals to help, which requires recruiting suitable candidates from college graduates and mature talents. Just recently, 10 companies, including Ctrip, announced the joint launch of the "Travel Mulan Plan", which plans to provide more than 20,000+jobs for women in 2023. Sun Jie, the co-founder of the plan and CEO of Ctrip Group, said that this move is to better meet the business growth demand in the first year of tourism recovery, and at the same time help more women get equal opportunities for development in the workplace.

  Cheng Chaogong estimates that domestic tourism can be restored to 70% ~ 80% in 2019 this year, while Southeast Asia tourism in the outbound tourism market may be restored to about 70% ~ 80% in 2019. Of course, everything depends on the actual development of the market.
