Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is threatening, and symptomatic treatment is the key.

In the infusion room of Ningxia Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are many small patients treated by infusion.

From November 24th to 25th, the reporter visited many hospitals in Yinchuan and found that the pediatric consulting rooms and infusion rooms of major hospitals were crowded with children with fever and cough. Among them, many children have "mycoplasma pneumonia" which has been frequently searched recently. Many citizens are worried about this: what disease is mycoplasma pneumonia? How to prevent and treat it? The reporter interviewed pediatric experts from relevant institutions and hospitals.

The incidence of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection by disease control experts this year did not exceed the level in 2019.

Gong Rui, chief of the infectious disease prevention and control department of Ningxia Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview that mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is a common respiratory pathogen and a microorganism between virus and bacteria. Its incubation period is relatively long, and most of the symptoms are mild, and only a few people will develop into severe diseases. "This disease has a periodic epidemic every three to seven years. Our tests on some sentinel hospitals have found that the incidence rate this year has indeed increased compared with last year, but it has not exceeded the level in 2019."

"In community-acquired pneumonia, this is a common pathogen, not a new and rare disease, nor a terrible pneumonia. Therefore, this is just a common disease, and it is a common disease. You don’t have to panic. " Gong Rui said that at present, mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is on the rise. One of the reasons is that in the process of fighting the COVID-19 epidemic in the past three years, the people have done a relatively good job in respiratory protection measures such as wearing masks, and the overall incidence of respiratory infections has shown a downward trend. After the epidemic control is released this year, it is inevitable that mycoplasma infection will increase in autumn and winter when respiratory diseases are on the rise. Most people infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae are children over 5 years old. This kind of respiratory infection will cause great infection in the population. If there is close contact and no corresponding protective measures are taken, children infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae will also transmit this mycoplasma to adults.

Pediatric experts have a good effect in treating mycoplasma pneumonia with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

"Since July this year, the number of children infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae has gradually increased, especially in the past month, the number of children with mycoplasma pneumonia has increased significantly. There are 150 beds in the fourth-floor ward of general pediatrics in our hospital, and all of them are full at present, most of them are children with respiratory tract infection, and more than half of the children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. " Li Lei, deputy director of the General Pediatrics Department of Yinchuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that the symptoms of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection are similar to those of most pneumonia, with fever and cough as the main clinical symptoms, accompanied by headache, runny nose, sore throat and earache. At present, the training and treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia are standardized, and there are scientific guidelines for diagnosis and treatment, which can be accepted by many secondary hospitals and community hospitals.

"Some children have severe immune reactions and mixed infections, which will cause refractory diseases. But don’t worry, there are still many ways to treat the symptoms. If it is refractory mycoplasma pneumonia, such as azithromycin resistance, we can change the dressing and replace it with other types of antibacterial drugs. If it is a compound infection, other antibacterial drugs can be added. If it is caused by abnormal immune response, it can be treated with glucocorticoid, and if necessary, it can be treated with immunoglobulin. " Li Lei said that infection with mycoplasma pneumoniae does not necessarily cause pneumonia, and only when mycoplasma pneumoniae invades the lower respiratory tract can mycoplasma pneumonia occur.

The reporter saw in the pediatric clinic of Ningxia Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine that there were also many children who came to see a doctor. Wang Huimin, the chief pediatrician of the hospital, said that there is no need to panic about mycoplasma pneumonia in children, and Chinese medicine has some special treatments. "For mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, as well as high fever, cough, pneumonia, etc., Chinese medicine combined with children’s physique, using decoction or external treatment, can achieve good results." Wang Huimin said that the 2023 edition of "Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Mycoplasma Pneumonia in Children" mentioned that according to the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, mycoplasma pneumonia can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine such as clearing heat and dispersing lung. In addition to oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many distinctive external treatments for mycoplasma pneumonia and other respiratory infectious diseases. For example, massage for children, acupoint application, cupping by suction, fumigation and washing with traditional Chinese medicine, pricking collaterals and bloodletting. "If the child has mycoplasma pneumonia, azithromycin should be used. Chinese medicine believes that antibiotics belong to cold substances, and cold is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach. You can take some dietotherapy to care for your child’s spleen and stomach and improve your resistance. " Wang Huimin said.

The hospital takes many measures to alleviate the problem of difficulty in seeing a doctor and hospitalization

At present, mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is not only threatening, but also the season of high incidence of influenza, respiratory syncytial virus and other respiratory diseases. Pediatric clinics in major hospitals are overcrowded. Many parents are worried that if they go to the hospital now, they will not be able to see the disease and live in the hospital. In this regard, the reporter learned that at present, all major hospitals in Yinchuan have taken active measures to deal with the peak of pediatric visits.

Zhao Guiqin, chief physician of pediatrics and deputy director of general pediatrics of the First People’s Hospital of Yinchuan City, told the reporter that autumn and winter are the seasons of high incidence of respiratory infections every year, and the hospital has prepared four countermeasures in advance. First of all, in the outpatient clinic, the appointment registration method is adopted, and the plus sign is added at any time according to the number of patients. Secondly, increase the number of pediatric clinics and sitting doctors, increase the previous general pediatric clinic to two general pediatric clinics in the morning and two general pediatric clinics in the afternoon, and have a pediatric specialist clinic every day. The pediatric emergency department of the hospital is also open 24 hours a day. Third, in order to improve the patient’s medical environment and make the people feel less crowded, the hospital expanded the waiting area on the second floor of pediatrics; In order to solve the problem of pediatric infusion, the hospital transferred the work of adult infusion to the community, and all the infusion rooms on the second floor of the emergency building gave way to pediatric patients; In order to solve the shortage of pediatric hospitalization, on the basis of the original 41 beds, 24 beds were added on the seventh floor, and they were adjusted at any time according to the situation of children. Fourth, in recent years, hospitals have opened holiday clinics and evening clinics to meet the medical needs of the masses on weekends and after school.

On the morning of November 25th, Wang Aiping, deputy director of general pediatrics department of Yinchuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, was busy in the clinic. She told reporters that in order to cope with the peak of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, the hospital has increased the number of outpatient clinics and the number of doctors since September. All the doctors in the children’s health department of the hospital are involved in the work of pediatric outpatient clinics. At present, the number of pediatric outpatient clinics has increased from 9 to 15. In mid-October this year, the hospital started the evening clinic again, and it was normal from 18: 00 to 22: 00. With the increase of hospitalized children, on the basis of 140 conventional beds in pediatrics, 14 beds on the first floor have been added, and at the same time, beds in pediatric wards have been appropriately increased according to the situation to meet the needs of hospitalized children as much as possible. "We have also increased the number of observation beds in the emergency department. If the patient is seriously ill and cannot be admitted to the hospital for a while, he will be temporarily placed under observation in the emergency observation room. The next day, the doctor in the pediatric inpatient department will go to the emergency observation room to evaluate, and those who need to be admitted to the hospital will be given priority to ensure that the children who need hospitalization will be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible. In short, we are ready for a long-term battle and go all out to cope with the peak of medical treatment. Parents don’t have to be too anxious. " Wang Aiping said.

In addition, the reporter learned that in order to facilitate the residents to seek medical treatment nearby, the Health and Wellness Committee of the Autonomous Region has collected and sorted out the medical institutions that can provide pediatric diagnosis and treatment services in the whole region, and published a list of 81 medical institutions on the official website and WeChat WeChat official account, including the addresses of branches of 3A hospitals and hospitals in cities and counties, whether there are outpatient and emergency services, whether they can be hospitalized by infusion, etc., so as to facilitate the people to choose a suitable hospital nearby for timely treatment.

□ Chutian Metropolis Daily’s most eye-catching journalist Chen Lingyan correspondent Belan Zeng Zuokuan

Liu Liming is the director of the Department of Hepatology of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the Third People’s Hospital of Hubei Province. He has been fighting hard in the field of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine to tackle liver diseases. He is kind to patients and often helps them out of his own pocket. Since joining the work, he has been using weekends and holidays to go to districts, counties and mountain villages to train grassroots medical staff, teach them to choose cheap but effective drugs, and help local patients control their illness.

What is the relationship between doctors and patients? Liu Liming’s answer is: the relationship of "treating each other with sincerity".

Doctors treat diseases.

Try your best to carry the patient across the river.

In 2006, Liu Liming entered the hepatology department of the Third People’s Hospital of Hubei Province. Since then, he has been dealing with various liver diseases. "Doctors treating diseases are like carrying patients across the river one by one." The metaphor of Wu Mengchao, an academician of China Academy of Sciences and the father of hepatobiliary surgery in China, is deeply engraved in Liu Liming’s mind. Doctors should try their best to pick up the patient and then deliver the patient to the other side of health.

Patients put their rehabilitation hopes in the hands of doctors, and doctors need to constantly improve their skills to help them realize their rehabilitation wishes. Liu Liming delves into the business, constantly summarizes it at the same time, and makes adjustments and innovations according to the needs of patients. Based on the characteristics of liver diseases in China and the changes of liver disease spectrum in recent years, he set up a sub-specialist diagnosis and treatment team for liver diseases in the department, including liver cancer diagnosis and treatment team, fatty liver diagnosis and treatment team and autoimmune liver disease diagnosis and treatment team to provide accurate personalized diagnosis and treatment for patients with liver cancer at all stages. For example, the fatty liver diagnosis and treatment team gives full play to the characteristics and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, and combines traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as medicated diet, acupuncture, catgut embedding and packaging; The diagnosis and treatment team of autoimmune liver disease innovatively launched the disease management model of "self-immune liver diagnosis-treatment-long-term follow-up" to be a long-term "healthy housekeeper" of patients. Liu Liming led a team to carry out a number of scientific research achievements, such as "anti-fibrosis and liver softening prescription", "anti-liver failure compound prescription" and "strengthening the body to detoxify and dispersing stagnation prescription", some of which reached the international advanced level, and the department also successfully established a key specialty of traditional Chinese medicine in Hubei Province.

Not only save lives

He also wants to save money for patients.

In addition to saving lives, Liu Liming also has a small habit-helping patients to make careful calculations and calculate "economic accounts". In his view, patients are suffering from diseases, and doctors should not only cure them, but also help them save money as much as possible, which is what doctors should do. Driven by Liu Liming, every doctor in the department has set himself an extra requirement: screening examination items and medication according to the patient’s condition and economic affordability. Can do or not do the inspection, don’t do it; Drugs that can be used or not, no need; If you can solve the problem with cheap medicine, you don’t need expensive medicine.

Liu Liming not only saves money for patients, but also often subsidizes patients in need. Last August, an 80-year-old man in Xinzhou District came to see a doctor with an old hen. "Doctor, my son is not at home, can I use my old hen to pay for medical expenses?" The old man asked. Without saying anything, Liu Liming immediately paid for 600 yuan’s medicine for the old man, and repeatedly urged the old man to take the chicken back. Who knows that when the old man left, he quietly left the old hen behind the door of the clinic. When the old man came to see a doctor again, Liu Liming took out 200 yuan and "bought" the old hen.

Among Liu Liming’s WeChat friends, more than 700 are patients he treated. Everyone will leave messages for him every day when he meets any health problems, and he will reply one by one, which has become everyone’s "family doctor". This "family doctor" has been friends with many patients for many years. He not only treats them, but also treats their hearts.

The 80-year-old Xiao’s mother-in-law has suffered from hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis for many years. Liu Liming designed the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine for her, and the old man’s condition was well controlled. However, three years ago, Xiao’s wife died unfortunately, which made her fall into depression. Liu Liming found that the old man’s mood was wrong. After learning about this situation, he would accompany his mother-in-law Xiao to say a few words every time he made a diagnosis or made a follow-up, trying to comfort her mood, thus "helping" the old man out of his grief step by step.

In 2021, a 3 cm tumor appeared on Xiao’s mother-in-law’s liver. Liu Liming completed interventional therapy for her, supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine, and helped the elderly get out of danger again. Every three to five, he also asked questions through WeChat. Grandma Xiao said to everyone, "Director Liu is better to me than my children!"

Go from the countryside to the town

Let more people "know more"

As a doctor, Liu Liming has a good reputation among patients, and more and more people are looking for him to see a doctor. But he understands that it is not enough to rely on the strength of one person or one department in the face of the huge needs of patients.

"My aunt was less than 50 years old and died unfortunately because of liver cancer caused by hepatitis B. Her child was infected with hepatitis B virus through mother-to-child transmission." Liu Liming said that this incident had a great influence on him, which was also the reason why he decided to study medicine. "Later, I used what I learned to successfully let my cousin block mother-to-child transmission."

Liu Liming realized that ordinary people don’t know much about medicine. When faced with diseases, they are often at a loss. "In fact, many diseases are preventable and controllable, especially liver diseases. Sometimes, as long as you know more, the results will be completely different."

Since joining the work, Liu Liming has always insisted on one thing: being a "healthy volunteer". On weekends and holidays, he went to various districts, counties and mountain villages to carry out free clinic propaganda and health science popularization, train primary medical staff, and help the construction of hepatology department in primary medical institutions. Village doctors have relatively little experience, so Liu Liming popularized and updated new knowledge of diagnosis and medication for them. "As long as I have been to places, village doctors have mastered better medication methods. They will prescribe cheap but effective anti-hepatitis drugs for patients in need. "

In 2020, the Third People’s Hospital of Hubei Province set up a youth master group, with Liu Liming as the head, and organized the doctors of the youth master group to go to the community and go to the grassroots level. In the past two years, the Youth Expo Group has given free clinics and health talks to more than 2,000 people, and has also conducted more than 40 academic salon lectures for young doctors and training for primary doctors, and trained more than 1,000 primary medical and health personnel.

Investigation report on secondary major environmental emergencies caused by diesel oil leakage accident of Sinopec Southwest Product Oil Pipeline in Tongzi, Zunyi, Guizhou

  At about 6: 06 on July 14th, 2020, the diesel oil in the southwest refined oil pipeline of Sinopec in Tongzi County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province leaked, which caused a major environmental emergency that affected Guizhou and Chongqing provinces. After the incident, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment quickly sent a working group to guide Guizhou and Chongqing to carry out emergency response work. Through joint efforts, the emergency goal of "ensuring the safety of drinking water and preventing excessive sewage from entering the Yangtze River" has been achieved.
  In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Measures for the Investigation and Handling of Environmental Emergencies (Order No.32 of the Ministry of Environmental Protection), the Ministry of Ecology and Environment initiated the investigation procedure for major environmental emergencies, and joined forces with the Guizhou Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, and the Yangtze River Basin Ecological Environment Supervision Administration to hire relevant experts to set up an investigation team to investigate the major environmental emergencies secondary to the diesel oil spill accident in the southwest refined oil pipeline of Tongzi Sinopec in Zunyi, Guizhou. According to the principle of "seeking truth from facts, being objective and fair, and being consistent in power and responsibility", the investigation team determined that this incident was a major environmental emergency that caused cross-provincial pollution due to factors such as landslide and improper pre-disposal.
  I. Basic information
  (1) South China Branch of China Petrochemical Sales Co., Ltd.
  China Petrochemical Sales Co., Ltd. South China Branch (hereinafter referred to as Sinopec South China Branch) was established on November 26, 2006. It is the agency of China Petrochemical Sales Co., Ltd., and China Petrochemical Sales Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Petrochemical Co., Ltd. The incident occurred in Jiezhen Village, Xinzhan Town, Tongzi County, Guiyang-Chongqing section of the product oil pipeline (pipeline pile number ZY109+410). The total length of the pipeline is 362km, the designed transportation capacity is 5.8 million tons/year, the design pressure is 9.5Mpa, the pipe diameter is 406mm and the wall thickness is 8.7 mm.. The whole pipeline adopts closed sequential transportation technology, which sequentially transports 92# gasoline and 0# diesel, and adopts SCADA control system (remote data acquisition and monitoring system) to transport 0# diesel when the accident occurs.
  (II) Incident and pollution process
  At 6: 06 pm on July 14th, the duty officer of Sinopec South China Branch found a diesel oil leak in the pipeline. At 14: 00 on July 14th, the oil concentration at the junction of Songkan River in Guizhou and Chongqing began to exceed the standard (refer to Class III standard of Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water (GB3838-2002)Ⅲ) of 0.05mg/L, the same below); At 16: 45 on the 14th, the pollution front arrived at the water intake point of Songzao Coal Mine; At 8: 35 on the 15th, the pollution group vanguard arrived at the water intake point of Sanjiang No.4 Steel in Qijiang District; At 9: 10 on the 16th, the front of the pollution group arrived at the exit section of Qijiang District; At 16: 20 on 16th, the vanguard of the pollution group arrived at the drinking water source in Guangxing, jiangjin district.
  The water quality of monitoring sections in Chongqing reached the standard at 6 o’clock on July 18th, and that of monitoring sections in Guizhou Province reached the standard at 6 o’clock on July 19th.
  (3) Direct economic losses
  According to the assessment, the emergency response phase of this sudden environmental incident caused a total direct economic loss of 1,487,300 yuan, including 895,400 yuan in Guizhou Province and 591,900 yuan in Chongqing.
  (4) Environmental impact
  According to experts’ accounting, the diesel oil leakage in this incident was about 289.91 tons. Among them, about 252.21 tons were recovered, 3.67 tons were adsorbed, 20.58 tons were put into soil and 13.45 tons were put into river. The incident caused the oil in a total of 119 kilometers of rivers downstream of the accident site, including Jiezhen River, Songkan River and Qijiang River, to exceed the standard. Sanjiang Waterworks in Qijiang District stopped taking water for 19 hours because the quality of drinking water source exceeded the standard, thus reducing the water supply area. 4.5 mu of farmland around the accident site was polluted, and the contaminated soil was about 461.9 tons.
  Second, deal with the disposal
  (A) rapid response
  After the incident, the governor of Guizhou Province, the deputy governor in charge, the secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee, the mayor and the deputy mayor all gave instructions, and a working group was sent to give on-site guidance on July 14. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment immediately sent a working group to the scene after learning the incident information on July 15th to guide the local authorities to do a good job in source blocking, interception and adsorption, renovation of water plants, and dilution along the way, and put forward the emergency goal of "ensuring the safety of drinking water and preventing the sewage exceeding the standard from entering the Yangtze River". Sinopec South China Branch took timely measures such as stopping transportation, closing valves and relieving pressure, and the people’s governments of Zunyi City and Tongzi County started emergency response at different levels, urgently assembled rescue forces and carried out on-site emergency treatment. The People’s Government of Qijiang District of Chongqing Municipality immediately arranged emergency monitoring, water intake from waterworks at wrong time, pollution disposal and information announcement after receiving the relevant incident information at 8 o’clock on July 14th, and informed the downstream jiangjin district in time. The People’s Government of jiangjin district arranged to be on duty 24 hours a day to observe the water source situation and carry out water quality monitoring. The rapid response of Chongqing ensured that the water supply safety of residents was not affected when the water quality of related water sources was affected, which ensured public opinion and social stability.
  (2) Cut off the source
  After the leakage was discovered on July 14th, Sinopec South China Branch stopped oil transportation urgently, quickly closed the ban qiao valve chamber, Yelang valve chamber and Dongshan valve chamber upstream of the leakage point, and relieved the pressure of Yaolongshan Station downstream of the leakage point through large-flow relief. At 6: 34, more than 280 people were put into the site to carry out emergency treatment, as well as 8 excavators, 21 tankers, 14 pumping equipment, 1,680m boom, 210 bags of oil-absorbing felt and other emergency materials. The plugging was completed at 10: 00 on July 15th.
  (3) Pollution control
  1. River pollution control. There are 31 oil booms in this incident, including 15 in Guizhou Province and 16 in Chongqing. Guizhou province has also built 12 oil dams, 12 activated carbon dams and 1 oil separation tank in China, reducing pollutants by about 3.67 tons. 14.01 tons of diesel oil was recovered by oil collector.
  2. Soil pollution control. In the disposal of this incident, five drainage ditches were set up near the upstream of the leakage point, and an oil sump was set up downstream of the leakage point to collect the leaked diesel oil and oily rainwater, which was used to intercept and lead out the rainwater and surface runoff, and the leakage area was covered with a rainproof cloth of about 2882m m.2. After the emergency disposal, 461.9 tons of contaminated soil was cleared.
  (4) drinking water security
  Chongqing implemented emergency renovation of the affected waterworks, and Sanjiang Waterworks in Qijiang District reduced the water supply area in time. From July 15th to 17th, the Qiaohe and Tuowan areas in the original water supply area were changed to Wenlong Waterworks. At 4 o’clock on July 16, Sanjiang Waterworks met the water supply requirements through technological transformation, and the water demand of residents was met.
  (5) Information disclosure
  On July 16th, Guizhou Province released the accident information and preliminary disposal to the public through the platform of Loushan Information. On July 16th and 18th, Chongqing Qijiang District Emergency Bureau released event information through the public information early warning platform three times. On July 15th, Chongqing Yuqian Water Technology Development Co., Ltd. released the Notice of Insufficient Water Pressure in Some Urban Areas Due to Water Pollution of Qijiang River on the Damei Qijiang APP.
  Third, the direct cause of the incident
  The direct cause of this incident is that the landslide caused the oil pipeline to be squeezed, resulting in displacement, deformation and local damage, resulting in diesel oil leakage, which in turn caused cross-provincial pollution.
  (A) the main causes of landslides
  Experts believe that the landslide of Yanshang Formation in Jiezhen Village, Xinzhan Town was formed under the influence of concentrated heavy rainfall, unfavorable topographic and geomorphological conditions, unfavorable geotechnical structure and other major factors, and it is a geological disaster caused by natural factors.
  (II) Causes of the leakage accident
  After the landslide, the front soil was pushed down, which caused the pipeline ZY109+410 buried in the soil to be squeezed, resulting in displacement and local damage, which led to the leakage accident. In the process of finding the leakage point, the organization excavation disturbed the balance of the leakage point, resulting in a large number of diesel oil leakage and the pollution situation expanded.
  Fourth, the main problems
  (a) the possible serious consequences of misjudgment, inadequate preparation
  Before the incident, Sinopec South China Branch did not fully judge the information that landslide threatened the pipeline safety, and did not take timely measures to eliminate the hidden dangers of pipeline safety and avoid the leakage of pipeline transportation medium to pollute the environment when the relevant competent departments put forward the requirements of stopping transportation, resulting in pipeline damage and oil leakage, which entered Songkan River through Jiezhen River, causing environmental pollution.
  (two) improper disposal in advance, causing a large number of leaks
  After finding diesel oil leakage, Sinopec South China Branch took measures such as stopping transportation, digging oil sump and setting oil booms, which basically controlled the spread of leaked diesel oil downstream through Jiezhen River. However, without fully evaluating the remaining oil in the pipeline, without fully considering the risk that external forces may disturb the existing equilibrium state and the pollution prevention and control measures such as oil collection pits and diversion canals are not fully prepared, the oil leakage point is organized to be excavated, resulting in a large amount of diesel oil pouring into Jiezhen River, and the pollution situation is expanding.
  (C) the relevant departments of the local government failed to perform their duties in time.
  Zunyi City Bureau of Industry and Energy, Tongzi County Economic and Trade Bureau, Emergency Management Bureau and other units received the information that the landslide threatened the pipeline safety reported by Sinopec South China Branch, and the relevant personnel all replied to go to the scene the next day to check, but did not rush to the scene to coordinate and eliminate hidden dangers or report to the people’s government for timely organization to eliminate potential safety hazards, and failed to conscientiously perform their duties of protecting oil and gas pipelines. The Zunyi Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment and the Guizhou Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment failed to report the incident information to the Zunyi Municipal People’s Government and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment within the time limit specified in the Measures for Reporting the Information of Sudden Ecological and Environmental Events after receiving the incident information.
  (D) The structure of emergency headquarters in Zunyi City is unreasonable.
  The July 14th incident caused cross-provincial pollution, which has constituted a major environmental emergency, and the Zunyi Municipal Government should organize and direct the response. However, the on-site emergency response has been stepped down. The commander of the on-site command department is in turn the person in charge of relevant functional departments of Zunyi City, the executive deputy magistrate of Tongzi County, the deputy magistrate in charge of Tongzi County, and the person in charge of Sinopec South China Branch. The structure of this incident headquarters is inconsistent with the relevant provisions of the National Emergency Plan for Environmental Emergencies and the Emergency Plan for Environmental Emergencies in Zunyi City.
  (E) inadequate linkage between government and enterprises
  Poor communication between local and enterprise information. Before the July 13th incident, the relevant staff of Sinopec informed the local village committee that 92# gasoline was transported in the pipeline. On July 14th, when the oil spill increased sharply at the initial stage of emergency response, local government personnel at the scene still thought that the oil was leaking, and they urgently organized the evacuation of local people, only to learn that the company had changed the transportation of gasoline in Zunyi section to diesel. In the early stage of accident rescue, local rescuers and enterprise rescue forces acted in their own way, and the local authorities did not understand the daily management of pipeline enterprises, so they could not contact and dock with enterprises at the first time after the incident, which affected the rescue effect.
  (six) the upstream and downstream linkage is not perfect.
  Tongzi County, Zunyi City reported the incident information to Chongqing Qijiang District Ecological Environment Bureau for many times on July 14th, which provided strong support for Chongqing to prepare for emergency. However, in the information notification, the emergency monitoring data, diesel oil leakage and disposal measures were not notified in time. Due to the lack of relevant information, it has affected the research and decision-making of the Qijiang District Command on the pollution situation, and we can only do our best to make relevant work arrangements and preparations based on experience.
  Five, prevention and rectification measures and suggestions
  (A) to further enhance the environmental emergency management capabilities of leading cadres of local governments at all levels, and improve the emergency response mechanism for environmental emergencies.
  1. Intensify training. After the institutional reform, the "big emergency" management system was basically established, but the response mechanism for comprehensive emergencies was not perfect. For example, this incident was caused by a production safety leakage accident caused by a natural disaster, and then it evolved into an environmental emergency. Under this situation, the government leaders’ understanding of relevant plans and emergency decision-making management ability were even more tested. It is necessary to increase the relevant contents of environmental emergency management in special training, conference discussion and comprehensive training, strengthen the training of environmental emergency management for government leaders, and further strengthen the ecological environmental protection awareness of emergency command and dispatch and emergency response personnel of local governments, departments and enterprises, improve the ability of judgment, command and dispatch and response to sudden environmental incidents, and do a good job in emergency response in the whole process to avoid.
  2. Strengthen the guidance on the revision of the government’s environmental emergency plan. It is necessary to strengthen the effective connection between the government’s special emergency plan for environmental emergencies and the overall emergency plan for emergencies, the emergency plan for natural disasters and the emergency plan for production safety accidents, clarify the emergency command system, emergency response procedures and the responsibilities of various departments, organize emergency drills in a timely manner, and improve the cross-regional and cross-departmental linkage mechanism. In view of the problems exposed by this incident, in 2021, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province and Qijiang District, Chongqing City will carry out an emergency drill for cross-provincial environmental emergencies to test the effectiveness of emergency command, departmental linkage and upstream-downstream linkage mechanism.
  (B) Improve the level of risk prevention and control and emergency response capabilities of pipeline enterprises.
  All pipeline enterprises should attach great importance to environmental risk management, prepare environmental emergency plans on the basis of environmental risk assessment, and make a good connection with government plans; Improve the pipeline environmental risk management system, refine the risk prevention and control measures from the perspective of avoiding environmental pollution, regularly carry out self-inspection of environmental risks and make timely rectification. Enterprises should reserve necessary emergency materials and equipment in accordance with the requirements of the plan, strengthen personnel training, strengthen information communication with local governments and relevant departments, establish a working mechanism of mass prevention, mass prevention and treatment, organize regular environmental emergency drills and training, and continuously improve the comprehensive emergency response capability.
  (C) to strengthen local environmental emergency capacity building.
  1. Improve the ability of environmental emergency monitoring at the grass-roots level. It is necessary to strengthen the integration and analysis of emergency monitoring equipment, personnel and other resource information, increase the skills training of grassroots monitoring personnel, especially the training of non-conventional pollutant monitoring personnel, and establish and improve the system and mechanism for social monitoring forces, including enterprises with monitoring capabilities, to participate in emergency monitoring of sudden environmental incidents, so as to ensure timely supplementary support in response to incidents.
  2. Strengthen the capacity building of environmental emergency rescue at the grass-roots level. All localities should reserve materials and equipment such as cutting off, controlling, collecting, degrading, safety protection, emergency communication and command, and emergency monitoring according to the characteristics of environmental risks in administrative areas. It is necessary to dynamically standardize the management of environmental emergency materials information and improve the environmental emergency materials information management system. Strengthen the training of knowledge and skills of grass-roots environmental emergency management personnel and rescuers in dealing with all kinds of sudden environmental incidents, and improve the professional level of environmental emergency.
  (4) Accelerate the construction of joint prevention and control mechanisms for upstream and downstream.

It is suggested to strengthen the capacity building of biological early warning and monitoring of comprehensive toxicity in water sources, and establish a multi-sector safety guarantee mechanism for drinking water sources from early warning, monitoring, emergency response and standby water source construction.

Guqin producer in Guangxi farmhouse: Go to Taiwan Province to bring his craft back to his hometown.

  BEIJING, May 16 (Xinhua) Title: Guqin producer in Guangxi farmhouse: Going to Taiwan Province to bring his craft back to his hometown.

  Author Liu Juncong Huang Lijie

  In a field manor in Liujiang District, Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province, firewood for cooking by the fireside is sizzling. At this time, Wei Xing held a brush and skillfully painted the guqin blank with "big paint" over and over again. This is a natural paint made from plants, and only the traditional guqin production will go through this important process step.

  Born in 1985, Wei Xing is a guqin producer who has been studying guqin production for more than three years. She studied guzheng in the Conservatory of Music at the university, and never imagined that she would get involved with the guqin one day and become the inheritor of the production skills of this ancient musical instrument.

  In the 2008 Olympic Games, an ethereal guqin piece "The Legacy of Taikoo" echoed over the "Bird’s Nest" Stadium, attracting the attention of the whole world, including Wei Xing, who just graduated from college. "At that time, I was fascinated by its unique timbre. Before the song of the Olympic Games was played, almost no one knew guqin, and many people would mistake guqin for guzheng, so it was very difficult to learn it. " Wei Xing said.

  As a last resort, Wei Xing at that time could only teach himself to play guqin with the help of relevant textbooks. With the rapid development of playing skills, Wei Xing became more and more fond of this ancient instrument. In 2015, while visiting relatives in Taiwan Province, Wei Xing met Lin Lizheng, a well-known local guqin producer. This coincidence made guqin completely change Wei Xing’s life.

  "At that time, I wanted to worship Master Lin as a teacher and learn the production process of Guqin. But master Lin watched a girl film of mine, but he didn’t agree anyway. In the end, it was a long time before the master reluctantly accepted me as an apprentice. After I really got started, I discovered that guqin production is not an easy task. " Wei Xing said.

  Wei Xing said that the production of guqin should strictly follow the tradition and the process is complicated. Just the process of painting surface polishing needs to be polished step by step and repeatedly by hand. "The key point of this process is not to use force, but to polish it gently. Brothers and sisters joked that they should’ not eat for three days’ before starting polishing, so the intensity is just right. " Weixing laughed.

  The tedious and boring production process, coupled with the master’s high-standard production requirements, made this girl who had left her hometown once think of giving up. However, an extremely harsh rebuke from the master made Wei Xing’s psychological defense completely collapse.

  "At that time, I immediately wanted to pack my bags and go home. But then I calmed down and thought about it carefully. If I don’t learn this skill, then this instrument is very likely to be lost in the future. " With the comfort of brothers and sisters, Wei Xing picked up the carving knife again. "Learning to make guqin is also tempering and practicing, which has taught me meditation." She said.

  Three years later, Wei Xing bid farewell to his master and classmates, and returned to his hometown successfully. Wei Xing, who had a "garden dream" since childhood, rented a farmhouse quadrangle in the suburbs of Liuzhou and engaged in guqin production in a beautiful and secluded environment every day. She said that it takes one to two years to make each guqin. At present, she has completed a number of customized guqin works, and the price ranges from 10,000 yuan.

  It is understood that the history of guqin can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, and it has a history of at least 3,000 years. Its timbre is low and its aftertaste is long. As a musical instrument with high cultural status in ancient China, Guqin has been a bridge for many scholars to exchange ideas since ancient times, and it is known as "scholars never withdraw their harps and instruments without reason".

  After years of silence, Guqin has once again attracted the attention and love of China people, and has gradually become one of the teaching subjects in major music colleges in recent two years. "The domestic environment is slowly getting better, and more and more people are beginning to learn about this ancient musical instrument from me. I am glad to see that it has not been forgotten." Wei Xing said.

  At present, Wei Xing has also opened guqin playing classes for adults and teenagers, so that more people can feel the charm of the voice of the ages. "Everyone likes it very much, and I will try my best to teach them playing skills. I don’t want this instrument to be lost in our generation." Wei Xing said. (End)

Dragon Boat Festival, an ancient rhyme and a new sound, is deeply rooted in the feelings of home and country and hopes for well-being.

On June 3rd, CCTV Comprehensive Channel of the Central Radio and Television General Station launched a large-scale cultural series "Ancient Rhyme and New Sounds" Dragon Boat Festival program, which commemorated the poet Qu Yuan with a strong humanistic color and praised his ardent feelings for home and country and noble character. Based on Chinese’s careful observation of nature, we should observe the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival to get rid of summer heat and epidemic prevention, pray for well-being, get close to green mountains and green waters and enjoy the summer scenery. We also "live" with cultural relics, and creatively interpret precious cultural relics stories such as Qu Zixing’s Yin Tu by Chen Hongshou in the Ming Dynasty, Golden Dragon Walking in the Tang Dynasty, Jinming Pool’s Bid Map by Zhang Zeduan in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Children’s Fight Sketch by Jin Tingbiao in the Qing Dynasty, so as to trace back to the roots of the nation and build up cultural self-confidence.

First, art outlines Qu Yuan’s pure heart and promotes patriotism.In the Tang poetry, it is said that "the festival is divided into the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is rumored to be Qu Yuan through the ages." Chinese remembered Qu Yuan from generation to generation and linked the Dragon Boat Festival with him, which shows people’s deep affection for him. The opening of the Dragon Boat Festival program "Canglang Journey" is based on Qu Yuan’s work "Chuci Fisherman" during his exile in northern Han Dynasty, praising Qu Yuan’s noble ambition and unswerving feelings of home and country. Through the clever use of visual technology, the scene of Qu Yuan’s singing on the banks of the river is artistically presented, creating a rich scene of surging water and rising sun on the banks of the river in Chu, showing Qu Yuan’s childlike heart as surging as surging waves and his noble character as clear and bright as the sky. The program is ingenious, introducing cultural relics as a carrier, and excavating the deep meaning of Qu Yuan, the embodiment of patriotism depicted in cultural relics through interviews between hosts and experts. The cultural relics involved include Qu Zi Xing Yin Tu by Chen Hongshou in Ming Dynasty and Qu Yuan Tu by modern Fu Baoshi. Guided by precious cultural relics, combined with careful creation and interviews with rich knowledge points, it highlights the thick core of traditional culture that really touches the hearts of the audience. In addition, the program "Going Home" deduces the dialogue across time and space, skillfully connecting the classic poems of Qu Yuan and Yu Guangzhong as the core, symbolizing the spread of the context and the inheritance of the feelings of home and country. In the program "Searching Up and Down", the singer and hundreds of students sang together "The road is long and Xiu Yuan is Xi, I will search up and down", with a magnificent momentum and lingering sound. These programs are full of eagerness to lead the audience to explore the deepest part of the human spirit.Mark a spiritual height for our nation, so as to be more clear about our attitude and value in life, carry forward the feelings of home and country, and gather the great power of national rejuvenation.

Second, the panorama presents the connotation of the Dragon Boat Festival and builds cultural self-confidence.The program has deeply explored many customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, which are diverse and colorful. For example, "Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, flying dragons in the sky" has placed people’s good wishes to welcome good fortune. The program was superimposed from "Kowloon Map" to the scene. Nine dancers showed nine images of dragons with different personalities and states one by one. Finally, all the dancers gathered into a dragon, showing the majestic momentum of "the dragon is in the sky" and expressing the Chinese nation’s worship of the dragon totem and the spiritual temperament of "self-improvement". The Song of the Race is based on Liu Yuxi’s poems, and the picture of a hundred races in Zhang Zeduan’s "The Race for the Bid in Jinming Pool" is deduced. The Dragon Boat Festival presents fans with beautiful meanings, such as encouraging benevolence. Fan Dancing Benevolence is interpreted by telling the story of "Xie An presents fans" by famous people in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Casting swords at the Dragon Boat Festival is a folk custom, and the double sword dance "Soul of Sword" uses Gu Jian, a state of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period — — Shao Yunjian and Cao Zhi’s Miscellaneous Poems, Guo Zhen’s Gu Jian/Sword Pieces, etc., interpret the artistic conception of "the sword front comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold". Wearing five-color silk thread to ward off evil spirits during the Dragon Boat Festival has a beautiful meaning of praying for Naji, and the dance acrobatic "Five-color wisp" has activated this custom. The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the "Orchid Bathing Festival", specially designed the song "Lan Cao" to show the love of ancient and modern literati for orchids and the noble character represented by orchids. Fisherman’s prideLiu Hua in May is enchanting and baking, which is created according to Ouyang Xiu’s masterpiece in the Song Dynasty, and designed visually according to the ancient painting Duanyang Story Map by Xu Yang, a painter in the Qing Dynasty, showing the colorful scenes of the ancients watching the race, hanging Ai people and wrapping corn during the Dragon Boat Festival. During the discussion, the guests of the program also listed the stories of ancient epidemic prevention and disease drive, such as hanging wormwood, killing five poisons and drinking realgar wine, and discussed the national psychology of the ancients praying for well-being during the Dragon Boat Festival. All these can be called a unique journey to trace the roots of the nation. Relying on ancient books, ancient paintings, poems, intangible cultural heritage and other elements, the program deeply digs into the folk customs, history and culture during the Dragon Boat Festival, presenting the double meanings of both humanity and nature in a panoramic way, which once brought cultural infiltration with ideological and artistic features.

Third, the shocking presentation of aesthetic audio-visual products, creative new wind blowing.The program resonates with the traditional culture and the current public demand at the same frequency, creating a "new national tide" boutique content. Taking the traditional festivals in China as the breakthrough point, the program creation team combines the stage with the live shooting from the perspective of "youth", and tells the cultural origin behind the traditional festivals in China in a way that young people like. As a result, the audience saw more real-life historical sites in Searching Up and Down, and the singer walked through the green mountains and green hills in Zigui to explore Qu Yuan’s footprints. "Flying Dragon in the Sky", "Picking Lotus Songs", "Soul of the Sword" and "Fisherman’s Pride May Liuhua" are all empowered by technology, which makes the audio-visual effect by going up one flight of stairs. Together with the dedication of artists, the programs are more exciting and bring audience an audio-visual shocking artistic feeling. The originality of the program lies in the progressive cut-in by multiple decoding and opening methods, which makes the Dragon Boat Festival cultural program like a spiritual baptism and the inheritance ceremony of excellent traditional culture. What we see is the genetic code and cultural picture hidden in the depths of China culture, which is the most vivid display of a nation’s cultural tradition, ethics, value belief and aesthetic taste. "Let the cultural relics collected in the museum, the heritage displayed on the vast land, and the words written in ancient books come alive".

Chinese civilization has a long history and is profound. It is the unique spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation, the foundation of contemporary China culture, the spiritual bond that maintains Chinese people all over the world, and the treasure of cultural innovation in China. The Dragon Boat Festival program of the large-scale cultural series "Ancient Rhyme and New Sounds" makes the most basic cultural genes of the Chinese nation adapt to the contemporary culture and coordinate with the modern society through the excavation and interpretation of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and makes Chinese excellent traditional culture integrate into the new era and enter a new life, condensing a strong centripetal force and effectively enhancing the self-confidence of the national culture.

Cross-border e-commerce welcomes development opportunities again

Cross-border e-commerce welcomes development opportunities again

Near the Spring Festival, e-commerce "New Year Festival" is full of tricks, and cross-border e-commerce is becoming more and more busy. In recent years, China has become the largest and fastest-growing cross-border e-commerce market in the world. Consumers can easily "buy globally" and enjoy high-quality products from all over the world without leaving home. With China’s opening wider and wider, relevant departments have successively issued substantial favorable policies, and with the escort of the Electronic Commerce Law, cross-border e-commerce is expected to enter a new period of healthy and rapid development.

The market potential is growing.

The strength of cross-border e-commerce has further enhanced the internationalization of double 11. According to the data of the Ministry of Commerce, from November 1 to 11, 2018, the sales of cross-border e-commerce imported goods exceeded 30 billion yuan, and a well-known domestic e-commerce platform introduced nearly 19,000 overseas brand goods from 75 countries and regions to participate in the promotion.

The huge capacity of the domestic demand market and the development of the Internet have enabled domestic consumers to gradually develop the habit of "Haitao" through cross-border e-commerce. Many heads of multinational companies said that with the improvement of China residents’ income level and the change of consumption concept, the potential of China market will only grow.

According to the statistics of E-commerce Research Center, in the first half of 2018, the scale of cross-border e-commerce import transactions in China reached 1.03 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.4%. By the end of June 2018, there were 75 million users who regularly conducted cross-border online shopping in China.

The development of cross-border e-commerce has also brought new business models and new operating systems for the operation, management and service of the entire logistics system. In this regard, international logistics companies feel particularly deeply. Chen Wenhong, managing director of FedEx China Marketing Department, said earlier that in recent years, the growth rate of China’s imports is much higher than that of its exports in both B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-customer) fields, making it the fastest growing market for cross-border e-commerce in the world.

A series of timely and effective reform measures have also promoted the growth of cross-border e-commerce. For example, the the State Council executive meeting held in November 2018 decided to continue and improve cross-border electronic commerce’s retail import policy and expand its scope of application, so as to stimulate consumption potential.

E-commerce platform seizes opportunities

With the increasingly important role of cross-border e-commerce in China’s foreign trade, major e-commerce companies also seize the opportunity to compete for layout. During the China International Import Expo held last year, Ali, Suning, JD.COM and other e-commerce platforms announced their import plans one after another, and took the opportunity to purchase goods and explore sources of goods. Among them, Suning has released a three-year global procurement plan of 10 billion euros, and will conduct large-scale procurement on a global scale. More than half of the procurement amount will be used for high-quality lifestyle products such as home appliances, mothers and babies, and supermarket beauty department stores.

At the same time, the vigorous development of cross-border e-commerce in China has also provided overseas businesses with new channels to enter the China market. Many internationally renowned brands regard cross-border e-commerce enterprises in China as their preferred trading partners in China. Experts said that China consumers’ import consumption has gradually become normal, and the imported consumer groups are younger, which provide a solid foundation and new opportunities for the faster development of cross-border e-commerce in China.

It is not only e-commerce companies that seize opportunities, but also local governments. In July 2018, the State Council agreed to establish cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone in 22 cities including Beijing, Hohhot and Shenyang, and actively deepen the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform in foreign trade. As of 2018, the number of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive experimental zones in China has reached 35. Relevant reform measures have been introduced in many pilot areas to realize the liberalization, facilitation and standardized development of cross-border electronic commerce.

Industry insiders predict that the central and western regions will become the development focus of cross-border e-commerce in the future, and the "Belt and Road" countries will be the focus of cross-border e-commerce development and open a new channel for supply-side reform.

Favorable policies encourage development

With the implementation of favorable policies related to cross-border e-commerce, the development of cross-border e-commerce in China is expected to enter a "golden age". The E-commerce Law, which has been implemented since New Year’s Day this year, clearly states that the state promotes the development of cross-border electronic commerce, establishes and improves the management systems of customs, taxation, entry-exit inspection and quarantine, payment and settlement, etc., which are adapted to the characteristics of cross-border electronic commerce, improves the facilitation level of all links in cross-border electronic commerce, and supports cross-border electronic commerce platform operators to provide cross-border electronic commerce with warehousing, logistics, customs declaration, inspection and other services.

At the executive meeting of the State Council held at the end of 2018, it was pointed out that on the basis of zero tariff within the limit for the goods in the cross-border e-commerce retail import list, and the import value-added tax and consumption tax are levied at 70% of the statutory taxable amount, the scope of goods enjoying preferential policies will be further expanded, and 63 tax items with large demand from the public will be added. In addition, the Ministry of Finance, the General Administration of Customs and the State Administration of Taxation jointly issued a notice saying that the tax policy for cross-border e-commerce retail imports will be adjusted, the upper limit of commodity quotas enjoying preferential tax policies will be raised, and the scope of the list will be expanded. The notice will be implemented as of January 1, 2019.

Experts pointed out that these measures will accelerate the development of new formats and new models such as cross-border e-commerce, help improve the level of openness, promote the steady growth of foreign trade import and export and new kinetic energy growth, and increase consumption and employment.

While encouraging and guiding development, we should also strengthen the supervision of cross-border e-commerce. According to the statistics of the State Administration of Market Supervision, in recent years, complaints and reports involving cross-border e-commerce have been on the rise, with milk powder, food, diapers, health care products and cosmetics having the highest number of complaints. How to make consumers feel at ease is a question that cross-border e-commerce must answer.

In this regard, the e-commerce law makes it clear that e-commerce operators engaged in cross-border electronic commerce should abide by the laws and administrative regulations on import and export supervision and management. The the State Council executive meeting also made it clear that the responsibilities of cross-border e-commerce enterprises, platforms, payment and logistics service providers will be strengthened in accordance with the principle of inclusive and prudent supervision, and the quality and safety monitoring and risk prevention and control of commodities will be strengthened.

The biggest price reduction in the history of good shops, we finally have "snack freedom"?

* This article is the original content of Sanlian Life Weekly.
Wen | Xing Haiyang

The good shop, one of the three giants of snack food, raised a machete to reduce the price. In an instant, the average price of more than 300 products was reduced by 22%, with the highest drop reaching 45%.At one time, the "Big Three Snacks" set up a wide moat of food safety due to their listing, and started a journey of leisure snacks with high prices and high quality. Now, consumers’ wallets are gradually shrinking, and hundreds of mass-selling snack shops on street corners have eroded their share, and the market has returned to low-price competition.A plot to control the price of capital on the consumer market has become invisible, and the giants have to bow their heads.

Stills of "When I Run to You"

The scenery and loneliness of snack food giants can be traced.The products with the highest price reduction rate in this good shop are nuts, including macadamia nuts, pine nuts, pistachios and cashews. In fact, the scenery of snack food giants is hidden in nuts.

Nuts are rich in protein and nutrition, and are the essence of life condensed by plants for breeding the next generation. Nuts are also rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which have certain effects on preventing atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other diseases. All this means that consumers in China will consume more nuts. According to the data of INC in 2019, the per capita annual consumption of five kinds of nuts in China is only 0.23kg, and the average levels in the United States, Japan and the world are 8 times, 2 times and 2 times that of China respectively.In the process of improving consumers’ living conditions and upgrading consumption, the amount of nut consumption is certain.

But nuts taste fresh, but they are very easy to oxidize and deteriorate. The result of deterioration is aflatoxin, which is a carcinogen.Of course, generally speaking, there will be no such serious consequences. It is enough to pay attention to the production date and brand name.

Figure | vision china

In addition to eating by yourself, nuts are also used as gifts because of the high unit price. In this scenario, brands are more useful.At that time, survey data showed that more than half of consumers said they would pay attention to brands when buying nuts, and 83% of consumers tended to choose well-known brands and big brands, which gave big brand enterprises quite free pricing power.

Three years ago, the stock price of Liangpin Shop was 15 consecutive boards as soon as it was listed, which rose for nearly a month, and its market value more than tripled. The logic of capital is clear: in the field of snacks, especially nuts, a slight expiration may affect the taste and produce harmful substances. Branding is the only way, and brands protect the interests of enterprises and consumers.With a well-known brand and a tall product image, the leisure and snack giants have commercial barriers.The core of barriers is high quality, and high quality corresponds to high price, so-called high quality and high price. As a result of high price and high quality, the snack food giants who have made a name for themselves will get a high valuation.

Stills of "Yu Zi without Progress"

It seems that this is an ideal development path for both consumers and brands. You make money and I get safe food.. But I don’t know if you have noticed, but up to now, we still haven’t reached the average consumption level of consumers in the United States, Japan and even the whole world.However, enterprises use the trust of consumers to quietly increase the gross profit margin of leisure snacks.For example, when you look at corporate financial reports, you often see that the gross profit margin of nuts exceeds 30%, setting a new high.

Unfortunately, leisure snacks can be described as not having the life of liquor, but getting the disease of liquor.Being a giant doesn’t mean that nuts will be exclusively handled by them. Especially when the brand premium becomes too high and it is necessary to pay too high a price for trust, consumers can not buy it. After all, the threshold of this industry is really not high, and their own emerging enterprises fill the gap in the market.

The biggest change in the snack retail industry in the past two years is the emergence of a large number of mass-selling snack shops.These snack shops all over the street corner, large glass windows, simple display cabinets and a wide range of small packaged snacks have brought snack sales to a brand-new model.

Zhengzhou A Snacks Discount Store (Figure | vision china)

The discount snack shop purchases directly from the factory, eliminating the dealer link, so the goods are cheaper.Compared with the snack shelves in supermarkets, the types of bulk products in discount snack shops are more abundant. Different from the way of selling super-large packaging, many snacks here are small grams, individually packaged and weighed by the weight. In 2021, there were only 2,500 discount snack stores in China, and it will expand to 13,000 by the end of 2022. According to this trend, there may be nearly 30,000 stores this year.

Discount-style snack shops have not only blossomed everywhere, but also recently started the capital operation of mergers and acquisitions.Zhao Yiming Snacks and Busy Snacks, two brands of mass-market snacks, have announced a strategic merger.

Since bulk snacks are equally delicious and cheap, the snack giants who have just established their brands will soon be defeated.The revenue of good shops has declined year-on-year for five consecutive quarters, and in the third quarter of this year, it fell into a double decline in revenue and profit, of which the accumulated revenue fell by 14.33%. Reducing prices to regain the market is the choice that must be made in front of snack giants such as good shops. In fact, as early as a year ago, the three squirrels put forward a high-end cost-effective strategy, which made the price of their main nut products significantly lower than that of their competitors. This strategy did not seem to stabilize the sales of the three squirrels. In the first three quarters of this year, the operating income also dropped by 14%, but it is believed that competitive prices were strictly implemented in the third quarter, and sales began to pick up.

Stills of Ode to Joy

Today’s big three snacks, their profit situation is far from comparable three years ago, and there is no hope of ensuring profits. If you want to survive, there is only one way to reduce prices.When the good shop launched the price reduction strategy in an all-round way, the capital market rewarded it with great rewards, and the stock price went up and down for two consecutive days, showing this state of being forced to die after being cornered.

This year’s price trend, price reduction is the mainstream, and CPI fell into a negative value in October.Among them, the price of food dropped by 0.8%, which became the main reason for the price drop. The price reduction of food is due to the weather, good weather and abundant products, and the overall supply of agricultural products is sufficient. However, considering that pork, which affects the price the most in a year, has not improved, it shows that consumption is in a state of insufficient purchasing power. At this time, for a large number of surplus food supplies, there is a chance to reduce prices. Even for Maotai, there is a huge price difference between wholesale and retail. For example, when the wholesale price of Maotai has increased by 20%, the retail price has only increased by 0.7%, which shows that the retail market has no ability to digest the price increase at all. I have been watching many liquor brands that are eager to try, so I have not followed up.

"Good Sir" stills

In such a market environment, price increases are tantamount to being against consumers and their own business prospects. And price reduction is to follow the trend and join the mainstream. The drop is less, just like a night trip, no one pays attention, and it can’t get market share.Only by lowering the price loudly and imposing manner can we earn the lottery.In this sense, the good shop is the main theme of this year’s business.

The announcement of the central bank’s regulation of Internet loan business has been released. In the past two months, the loan APP still has the promotion of "daily interest rate"

  Announcement No.3 in 2021 issued by the central bank in March this year shows that all institutions engaged in loan business should show the annualized interest rate to borrowers in an obvious way when marketing through websites, mobile applications, posters and other channels, and indicate it when signing the loan contract, or display information such as daily interest rate and monthly interest rate at the same time as needed, but it should not be more obvious than the annualized interest rate. The annualized loan interest rate can be calculated by compound interest or simple interest method. If the simple interest calculation method is adopted, it should be explained that it is simple interest.

  Recently, the Beijing Youth Daily reporter found that many loan apps are still playing "cleverness" with consumers in displaying interest rates, and only show the daily interest rate or the lowest annualized interest rate with a small value. Only when consumers actually get the loan, do they find that the real interest rate is much higher than they thought.

  survey

  A few apps still violate the rules to promote customers at daily interest rates.

  The announcement of the central bank has been released for nearly two months. However, the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that there are still some loan apps that use the daily interest rate to promote customers, and they have not marked the annualized interest rate at the same time.

  For example, the application page of Vipshop’s "only cash withdrawal for flowers" only shows "the minimum daily interest fee of 13,60 seconds will arrive at the account quickly"; Mango TV’s "Mangli Good Loan" is known as "low interest, and the daily interest rate is as low as 0.02%"; On the "Financial Services" page of the "My Wallet" page, the car APP of Shouqi Car shows "the maximum is 300,000, and the minimum daily interest rate is 22,000". After clicking enter, you will see four loan products with annualized interest rate display.

  In addition, some loan products have neither annual interest rate nor daily interest rate, only the maximum loan amount. For example, the activation page of JD.COM Gold Bar only shows the maximum loan amount of 200,000 yuan, and the words "50,000 yuan is free for 15 days", "fast loan", "installment repayment" and "low interest rate", and there is no specific interest rate description, which can only be seen after opening; After other apps enter, only the maximum amount that can be applied is displayed, and you need to register to see the details; Xiaomi’s satellite loan shows that "the maximum loan amount is 300,000 yuan", "the fastest one-minute loan and flexible repayment", and you need to log in to learn more information.

  There are fewer loan products marked with simple interest.

  According to the requirements of the central bank, all loan products should clearly indicate the annualized interest rate of loans; The annualized loan interest rate can be calculated by compound interest or simple interest method; If the simple interest calculation method is adopted, it should be explained that it is simple interest. The calculation method of compound interest is the internal rate of return method, that is, the annualized internal rate of return (IRR) calculated after considering compound interest according to the borrower’s loan principal, repayment amount per period, loan period and other factors. The annex to the central bank’s announcement called it "a fair way to calculate the annualized interest rate of loans".

  After investigation, the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that at present, the loan products of most formal institutions have been marked with annualized interest rates according to the requirements of the central bank. Alipay borrowing, micro-loan, and US group living expenses also show the daily interest rate and annual interest rate, and some also list the conversion formulas of the two.

  However, only a few products have "simple interest" next to their interest rates. For example, the homepage of Anyihua shows that "the annualized interest rate is at least 7.2% (simple interest) and risk pricing is implemented"; Today’s headline shows that "the annual interest rate (simple interest) is 10.80%-24%"; The "Goose Spending Money" docked by Tencent Video APP indicates that "the annual interest rate is as low as 7.20% (simple interest), calculated on a daily basis".

  reveal a secret

  The result of compound interest calculation for the same loan is higher than simple interest.

  What effect will simple interest or compound interest have on the real interest rate of consumers? Two examples are provided in the announcement of the central bank, and the result of the same loan calculated by IRR method is higher than that of simple interest.

  For example, a consumer finance company borrows a loan with a term of one year and monthly repayment, with a total of 12 installments and a principal of 100,000 yuan. According to the repayment plan, the borrower pays the 1000 yuan service fee in one lump sum in the current loan period, and repays 8833.3 yuan in equal amount every month from the end of the first month after the loan, in which the principal is 100,000/12 = 8333.3 yuan, and the installment fee (calculated by 0.5% of the initial loan principal) is 100,000× 0.5% = 500 yuan. The comprehensive annualized interest rate of the above loans calculated by simple interest is about 12.80%, and the comprehensive annualized interest rate calculated by IRR method is about 13.58%.

  A person’s housing loan, with a term of 20 years and monthly repayment, has a total of 240 installments, with a principal of 1 million yuan, and is repaid by matching principal and interest. According to the repayment plan, from the end of the first month after the loan, the borrower will repay the principal and interest of 6599.6 yuan in equal amount every month. The annualized interest rate of the above loans calculated by simple interest is about 5%; The annualized interest rate calculated by IRR method is about 5.12%.

  Liu Xinyu, a partner of Zhonglun Law Firm, believes that the central bank’s announcement clarified the calculation scope and method of comprehensive capital cost, solved the scope dispute of comprehensive capital cost in legal practice, and provided legal reference for the judicial department to handle loan dispute cases. At the same time, the formal introduction of IRR into the regulatory provisions will help protect consumers’ right to know and prevent consumers from being misled into applying for loans without knowing the true cost.

  Don’t be tempted by the lowest interest rate. The actual approved interest rate is often much higher.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that many loan products are marked with "annualized interest rate from 7.2%". If you think that the interest rate you get is 7.2%, you will be greatly disappointed. Because lending institutions will evaluate customers’ credit and risk levels according to various factors, customers need to apply first, and only after the approval of the institutions can they know their final access quota and applicable interest rate. The actual loan interest rate approved by consumers will not be the same, and only the best customers can enjoy the lowest interest rate.

  According to the investigation of the reporter of Beiqing Daily, the loan interest rates enjoyed by different customers on the same platform are very different, and the interest rates obtained by the same person on different platforms may be different. Few customers really enjoy the lowest interest rate, but many customers complain that the interest rate is too high.

  For example, the same is Alipay. The daily interest rate of reader Miss Wang is 0.025% and the annual interest rate is 9.125%, while her friend Mr. Zhang is 0.04% and the annual interest rate is 14.6%. The annual interest rate of Miss Wang’s micro-loan is 10.95%, which is higher than that of Borrowing Bai, while Mr. Zhang’s micro-loan interest rate is 12.775%, which is lower than Borrowing Bai.

  In another application, it is clearly marked that "the daily interest rate starts from 0.02% and the annualized interest rate starts from 7.20%". Miss Huang, who is heading for 7.20%, finally got the interest rate of 0.065% per day and 23.4% per year, which is more than three times that of 7.2%. Her friend Mr. Li was granted a daily interest rate of 0.097% and an annualized interest rate of 34.92%, which is 4.85 times that of 7.2%. They all want to know how many customers have actually obtained loans with an annual interest rate of 7.20%.

  On the black cat complaint platform, there are more than 40,000 complaints about "annual interest rate", most of which are "the annual interest rate is found to be too high after borrowing". Some complainants reported that the annual interest rate of some lending platforms even exceeded 36%.

  point out

  Be wary of network platform inducing excessive borrowing.

  At the end of last year, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission issued "Warning on Risk of Excessive Lending Induced by Online Platforms". China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission pointed out that in order to obtain a large number of customers, some online platforms over-market financial products such as loans or credit card overdrafts through various online consumption scenarios to induce over-consumption. China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission Consumer Protection Bureau reminds consumers that they should establish a rational consumption concept, use lending products rationally, choose formal institutions and channels to obtain financial services, and be alert to the hidden risks or traps behind excessive lending marketing.

  According to the risk warning, some organizations or online platforms unilaterally emphasize the favorable conditions such as low daily interest rate, interest-free period and zero interest installment. However, the so-called "zero interest" does not mean zero cost, and there are often "service fees", "handling fees" and "overdue charges", and the actual comprehensive annualized interest rate of such products may be very high. Some marketing activities intentionally blur the actual cost of borrowing, which infringes on consumers’ right to know and easily leads to misunderstanding or recognition.

  There are also some online platforms that claim that the loan procedures are simple, tempting consumers to click on it, and some institutions even lend excessively to minors, school students, low-income people, etc., and then carry out violent collection, pretend to be malicious collection by judicial organs, and collect for borrowers’ relatives and friends, causing a series of family and social problems.
