Media friends:

Good morning everyone!

The Party Group of Zhengzhou Municipal Market Supervision Administration attaches great importance to the protection of consumers’ rights and interests. In 2020, according to the reform plan and work requirements of market supervision institutions, the Municipal Bureau established a new Zhengzhou 12315 Complaint Reporting Rights Protection Center. With the number of "12315", we provided market supervision consultation, complaint and report services to the outside world, and opened 30 telephone seats to provide 24-hour hotline service for consumers in our city throughout the year. At the same time, the Municipal Bureau focuses on serving people’s livelihood, insists on keeping integrity and innovation, and actively builds a consumer rights protection network. In all major enterprises and supermarkets in the city, a "consumer rights protection service station" has been established, and enterprises have been mobilized to actively solve "online consumption disputes", organized "safe consumption creation" activities, and promoted the commitment mechanism of "no reason to return goods offline". Through various efforts, the city’s consumer market has been further purified, the market consumption environment has been optimized, and the sense of gain and happiness in the consumer environment has been improved.

In 2020, the city’s 12315 system received 413001 consumer inquiries, complaints and reports, including 258168 inquiries, 81800 complaints and 73033 reports. 81,593 complaints were settled, with a settlement rate of 99.74%. The amount of disputes involved in the complaints was 334.1707 million yuan, and the amount of economic losses recovered was 72.5416 million yuan. 72,743 reports were completed, with a completion rate of 99.6%.

Judging from the way of acceptance, the 12315 hotline received 325195 consumer appeals this year, and it is still the main channel for complaint acceptance; The national 12315 Internet platform received 61436 consumer appeals, which was the second acceptance channel; The mobile client, WeChat, Alipay applet and mobile APP received 21,026 consumer appeals, and the receiving volume increased significantly. There were 5,344 incoming letters and other forms, and the proportion of receiving letters decreased compared with previous years, indicating that the trend of consumer complaints is developing in the direction of convenience, digitalization, networking and intelligence, and also embodying the advantages of "internet plus" government services.

Based on the summary analysis of hot issues of consumer complaints in 2020, it is mainly reflected in the following five aspects:

I. Complaints and reports on residents’ services and daily necessities

A total of 8959 such complaints and reports were accepted throughout the year. First, fitness and sports venues. The problems of recharging and refunding fees caused by the epidemic situation, such as not being able to operate normally, changing business address, leaving private education, etc., mainly include "it is easy to apply for a card, it is difficult to return the card", "closing the store and running away", "restricting consumption" and "standard terms". The second is clothing, shoes and hats. There are many disputes about return and exchange caused by inconsistent ingredients, quality defects, physical differences and after-sales service. The third is a cultural communication company. Tickets are sold online, but affected by epidemic control or other reasons, which leads to the cancellation of performances or disguised price increases, and it is difficult for consumers to refund tickets. The fourth is household items. The quality and specifications of the physical object are inconsistent with the samples, the goods are not delivered in time, and the appearance defects are difficult to return.

Second, food complaints and reports

A total of 8996 such complaints and reports were accepted throughout the year. First, frozen and quick-frozen foods. Problems such as foreign body, mildew and deterioration of food are relatively concentrated; Second, merchants fictionalize and exaggerate the efficacy of food.

Problems such as non-delivery, less delivery, non-payment and substandard hygiene of catering units.

Iii. Complaints and reports on vehicles

A total of 2728 such complaints and reports were accepted throughout the year. The first is the problem of car purchase and consumption. After the intention to buy a car, the merchant promised to get a refund, but in the end, it was impossible to get a refund, the consumer could not pick up the car within the promised time, and the 4s shop did not agree to change the model, which made it difficult for consumers to get a refund. The second is the issue of fees. After the repayment of the car by installment is completed, the problem of charging the handling fee for releasing the charge; The third is vehicle maintenance. During the warranty period, vehicle maintenance, on the grounds that there are no accessories, will not be repaired or buck passing, as well as the abnormal quality of the car after the three-guarantee sale.

Four, household appliances and communication equipment complaints.

A total of 2,874 such complaints and reports were accepted throughout the year. The first is the quality of household appliances. Purchase, installation and delivery of household appliances, quality or defects, and damage after use; The second is the after-sales service of household appliances. The main problems are no maintenance, lack of accessories, no return and other issues; The third is the distinction of after-sales responsibility. No "three guarantees" on the grounds of man-made damage and unclear definition of maintenance responsibility; Fourth, it is difficult to return communication equipment. It is suspected that the purchased mobile phone is a refurbished or second-hand mobile phone, and it is difficult to communicate and collect evidence and return it; The fifth is the problem of mobile phone accessories.

V. Complaints and reports on decoration and building materials

A total of 948 such complaints and reports were accepted throughout the year. Mainly reflected in the decoration materials and cabinets, doors and windows, furniture and other issues. The first is advertising. Merchants use absolute terms such as "best", "highest quality" and "leading technology" in advertisements, and use exaggerated propaganda and false propaganda such as "never fading", "nontoxic and environmentally friendly" and "antibacterial and breathable". The second is the issue of service commitment. After-sales service has problems such as deliberate delay or unreasonable refusal, failure to deliver goods on time, failure to install on time, failure to fulfill service commitments, etc. The third is product quality. There are some problems in building materials, such as unqualified quality, fake materials, fake and inferior quality, and excessive odor.

In order to effectively strengthen the protection of consumers’ rights and interests, and smooth the channels for reporting complaints, the Municipal Bureau has arranged to launch a special campaign to ensure safety and stability in the whole city in early March. Focus on key areas, key places, key units, key equipment and key areas to carry out centralized management, eliminate potential safety hazards and protect consumer safety. During the special action, the general public are invited to actively participate. If potential risks in the market consumption field are found, or infringement of consumers’ rights and interests is infringed, complaints can be made by calling the "12315" hotline; You can also report complaints through the National 12315 Internet Platform (www.12315.cn).

Dear friends, 2021 is the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the first year of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and a crucial year in the process of the modernization of Zhengzhou as a national central city.

The city’s market supervision system will conscientiously implement the "four strictest" requirements put forward by the Supreme Leader General Secretary, improve political stance, highlight problem orientation, safeguard consumer safety, and serve people’s livelihood. We will severely crack down on illegal acts that infringe on consumers’ rights and interests according to law. Escort consumers with excellent results, show a good image of market supervision, promote the high-quality development of Zhengzhou, and present gifts to the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Thank you!

Next, please ask Chen Xiaoyan, Deputy Secretary-General of Zhengzhou Consumers Association, to issue a consumption reminder for 2021.

Chen Xiaoyan

In 2020, Internet service complaints ranked the third among all kinds of complaints accepted by Zhengzhou Consumers Association in the whole year, including 834 complaints and inquiries involving Zhengzhou Branch of Great Wall Broadband Network Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Great Wall Broadband"). The main problems that consumers reflected on "Great Wall Broadband" were: First, poor network signal; Second, the refund time is long, and the phenomenon of delaying and shirking is serious; Third, the calculation of refund is unreasonable; Fourth, in the case that broadband services cannot be guaranteed, we will continue to induce uninformed consumers to pay broadband fees. In response to consumer complaints, Zhengzhou Consumers Association has repeatedly talked about "Great Wall Broadband" and urged it to introduce solutions as soon as possible. Up to now, a large number of consumer complaints have been delayed.

Zhengzhou Consumers Association believes that "Great Wall Broadband" company’s internal management is lax, its service concept is not correct, its awareness of safeguarding consumers’ rights and interests is weak, and its principle of good faith management is weakened, which fails to fulfill its legal responsibility as the first person responsible for safeguarding consumer rights and interests, resulting in the infringement of consumers’ right to know, fair trade and claim. Therefore, Zhengzhou Consumers Association reminds consumers: In view of the fact that "Great Wall Broadband is easy to pay and difficult to protect rights", please carefully choose "Great Wall Broadband" service.

In addition, we should pay attention to the following points when choosing broadband services: First, we should choose carefully. Go to a regular, reputable and complete after-sales service communication operator, and don’t believe in small advertisements posted at roadside agents or on the street, as well as broadband services sold at home. The second is to pay attention to retaining contracts and consumption credentials. Sign a written contract, and don’t trust verbal promises easily. When signing a contract, you should carefully read the terms of the contract, ask for an invoice in time after payment, keep relevant consumption and transaction credentials, and try to avoid transferring service fees to personal accounts through WeChat or Alipay. The third is to protect rights according to the law. When consumers encounter disputes, they can safeguard their legitimate rights and interests by negotiating with operators, asking consumers’ associations for mediation, complaining to relevant administrative departments, and bringing a lawsuit to the people’s court.

Next, please ask reporters to ask questions about your concerns. Before asking questions, first inform your unit.

Dahe. com: In recent years, with the rise of live webcasting, there are more and more online shopping disputes. Can you briefly introduce this situation?

Luo Xiangyu

Online shopping is now a favorite consumption mode of our consumers, especially the rise of live webcasting with goods in recent two years, which has further promoted the network economy. But in fact, there is no big difference between webcasting and online shopping, both of which belong to remote shopping. Due to the rise of such remote shopping, consumer complaints are increasing day by day.

Taking 2020 as an example, the city’s 12315 system accepted about 15,000 online shopping complaints, accounting for nearly 20%. The main complaints are as follows: First, some anchors or platforms have exaggerated or false propaganda problems. If the goods are falsely described, the function and utility of the products are exaggerated; Promised concessions, gifts, etc. Second, some e-commerce operators delay or refuse to perform the contract. Such as arbitrarily cutting orders and refusing to deliver goods, and selling goods that are not on the right board. Third, some e-commerce operators do not undertake after-sales service obligations. If you don’t implement the "seven-day return without reason" rule and don’t fulfill the "three guarantees" obligation, etc.

According to the Law on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests and the Measures for the Administration of Online Transactions, if consumers buy goods or receive services through online trading platforms, and their legitimate rights and interests are damaged, they can complain to the platform merchants and also to the third-party trading platforms, so consumers should first negotiate with the merchants or third-party platforms through themselves, and handling consumer disputes is also the legal obligation of the merchants and third-party platforms; If negotiation fails, consumers can complain to the market supervision department where the platform merchant is located, or the market supervision department where the third-party trading platform is located, call the local 12315 or make a complaint through the "National 12315 Internet Platform", and the market supervision department will accept it as soon as possible and deliver it to the jurisdiction for mediation of consumer rights protection. At the same time, violations of laws and regulations found in the process of online transactions can also be reported to the market supervision department, which will be investigated and verified by the jurisdiction and dealt with according to law.

Consumers are also reminded to choose formal and qualified e-commerce platforms and sellers with high credibility when shopping online; Before placing an order, you should read the product details, promotion rules, return and refund methods and after-sales service policies, etc. Don’t trust the advertisements of merchants or the sensational agitation of anchors with goods, and avoid impulsive consumption and passionate consumption. At the same time, when purchasing, you must choose a formal trading platform, inquire about the business qualifications of the business operators, understand the true attributes of the purchased goods, try to keep relevant transaction records, publicity records, service commitments, etc., and keep sales vouchers to avoid the inability to prove when problems arise. After a dispute arises, try to settle it through consultation. If it fails, you can complain to our market supervision department or consumer association, and our market supervision department will do its best to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

Hong Kong Economic Herald: 3.15 is coming soon. Can you remind consumers of the problems that should be paid most attention to in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests according to the daily complaints received by consumers?

Chen Xiaoyan

According to the analysis of daily complaints, especially the cases of difficulties in safeguarding rights, we notice that if consumers can improve their awareness of safeguarding rights and self-protection, pay more attention to pre-consumption claims and conscientiously perform inspection responsibilities, then even if they encounter consumer disputes, whether they negotiate with operators to safeguard their rights or seek help from consumer associations or relevant departments, consumers who are "weak" can provide more powerful assistance for the settlement of consumer disputes, which is convenient for relevant departments to help consumers solve consumer disputes.

For example, we recently received a complaint: when a consumer bought food in a supermarket, the name of the food printed on the consumption certificate provided was inconsistent with the food he bought, and the price was also inconsistent. Such proof affected the consumer’s right to claim compensation after being infringed. In the consumption survey we carried out a few years ago, we also found that the name of the goods on some supermarkets’ printed receipts was inconsistent with the goods actually purchased. In this case, if consumers did not check carefully on the spot, they would not be able to provide effective proof in time when they suffered personal and property losses.

At present, consumers should pay attention to the consumer complaints when we buy goods or receive services in our daily life: for commodity consumption, we should take the initiative to obtain and keep the consumption credentials when we consume, and at the same time, we should pay attention to checking the machine-made receipts and invoices provided by operators on the spot to ensure that the names of the bills are consistent with the names of the purchased goods, the specifications and models are consistent, and the sales prices are consistent with the personal payment prices. For service consumption, such as beauty salons, body building, home improvement, education and training, accommodation and tourism, etc., in addition to paying attention to actively obtaining and retaining consumption credentials, we should sign a service agreement with the operator at the same time, and indicate or sign a supplementary agreement in the format contract for the personalized commitment service of the operator. Prevention in advance is a strong support for safeguarding rights after encountering problems!

This year, the City Consumers Association will also strengthen consumer publicity and education, carry out in-depth consumer publicity and education into community activities, send laws and regulations, rights protection methods and consumer warning tips to consumers, and make continuous efforts to improve the consumption environment in our city!

Elephant News: A few days ago, some media reported clues about the problem of bottled water. What measures did our regulatory authorities take? Can you introduce the specific situation of the investigation?

Zhou Fang

Municipal Market Supervision Bureau has always attached great importance to food safety supervision, including bottled water, and organized special rectification, supervision and sampling inspection of bottled water production for many years. The production conditions, food safety control ability and quality and safety level of bottled water production enterprises in the city have been continuously improved. On the morning of February 6th, the online media of Dongfang Jinbao published an article on "Insider Investigation of Bottled Water Fraud", which reflected that the illegal production and operation of bottled water in the market had not been completely eradicated. After learning the relevant public opinion information, the leaders of the Municipal Bureau attached great importance to it and acted quickly that morning to organize and investigate the relevant clues reflected by public opinion. Even during the Spring Festival holiday, the investigation of relevant clues was not relaxed, and the promotion meeting was held several times in a row to arrange the deployment, and the front-line supervision was organized to ensure that the investigation and rectification were in place.

On February 6th, the online media of Dongfang Jinbao reported that the main clues were that water shops directly sold tap water and groundwater privately. Individual bottled water sales points have poor sanitation; Individual bottled water products have no identification information such as manufacturer and address; There are hidden quality problems in barreled water buckets and lids.

In response to the clues reflected by the media, our bureau immediately set up a special working class, which is personally responsible by the main leaders and composed of relevant personnel such as food supervision, news propaganda, law enforcement inspection and the public security team stationed in the bureau. According to the problems and clues reflected by the media, we went to Jinshui District, Economic Development Zone, Guancheng District, Airport District, xinzheng city, zhongmou county and other places to conduct investigations one by one with the regulatory authorities of the jurisdiction, and investigate and deal with illegal acts in time.

After investigation, Aoquan bottled water store in Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone illegally filled bottled water without any logo without obtaining the food production and operation license. The store is suspected of violating the relevant provisions of the Food Safety Law and engaging in food production and business activities without permission. The market supervision department of Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone has filed a case for investigation and punishment according to law, and made a penalty decision of confiscating 165,300 yuan. Currently, relevant administrative penalty procedures are being implemented.

The manufacturer of the "Yuzhiyang" bottled water involved in the report is Henan Yuzhiyang Beverage Co., Ltd., and its production address is Houwei Village, Xie Zhuang Town, Xiangyun Road Office, Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone, and it has not obtained the Food Production License. The company is suspected of violating the relevant provisions of the Food Safety Law and engaging in food production activities without permission. The market supervision department of Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone has filed a case according to law, and based on the illegal facts and illegal income, it has made a penalty decision of confiscating 250,200 yuan, and is currently fulfilling relevant administrative punishment procedures.

Sun Ping ‘an Department Store in Mengzhuang Town, xinzheng city did not fulfill the obligation of incoming inspection when purchasing, and operated bottled drinking water with labels that did not meet the requirements. The market supervision department of xinzheng city ordered the parties to correct the illegal behavior, and gave them an administrative penalty of warning, confiscation of illegal income of 507.5 yuan and fine of 10,000 yuan.

Shigengxin bottled water service station in Jinshui District, Lanpei bottled water service station and Lantian water station in No.135 Buchang Street, Guancheng Huizu District have not obtained food business licenses, and the local market departments have ordered them to apply for registration certificates of small food shops within a time limit.

Other problems reflected by the media, food safety violations have not been found in the field verification.

In order to further strengthen the supervision of barreled drinking water production and business operation units and effectively ensure the food safety of the people, on February 10th, our bureau issued the "Special Remediation Plan for Barreled Drinking Water Production and Business Operation in 2021", arranged and deployed the special rectification work of barreled drinking water production and business operation for 10 months, and adopted measures such as special inspection, comprehensive sampling inspection, intensified disposal, and informing industry organizations to strengthen self-discipline, so as to standardize the production of barreled drinking water, severely investigate and punish unlicensed production, sales and illegal filling without permission. Since the implementation of the rectification, the city has dispatched more than 1,000 law enforcement officers and 383 law enforcement vehicles, inspected 720 bottled water production and business units, sampled 241 batches of bottled water and source water samples, found 35 problems, ordered 35 rectifications, put 4 cases on file for investigation, and banned 10 production sites suspected of illegally producing bottled water in conjunction with local governments.

In the next step, we will also give full play to the role of complaint reporting and unblock all kinds of complaint reporting channels such as 12315. Give full play to the management advantages of township (street) party committees and governments, such as being close to the masses, gridding, long-distance system and long-distance system, solve the problems of "black dens" in food production and operation, strong concealment of illegal and criminal acts, and difficulty in daily supervision, establish a long-term mechanism of "whistling at the grass-roots level and responding by departments" to find and deal with problems, and effectively improve the food safety level of the whole city.

　　CCTV News:According to WeChat official account, the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, on October 23rd, the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention released the national epidemic situation of legal infectious diseases in September 2023:

　　In September 2023 (from 0: 00 on September 1st to 24: 00 on September 30th), 879,567 cases of legal infectious diseases were reported in China (excluding Hongkong, Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan Province, the same below), with 2,213 deaths.

　　Nine cases of Class A infectious diseases were reported, all of which were cholera, and no deaths were reported.

　　Among the Class B infectious diseases, except novel coronavirus infection, 304,210 cases were reported and 2,213 people died, including SARS, poliomyelitis, human infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza, diphtheria and human infection with H7N9 avian influenza. The top five reported diseases are viral hepatitis, tuberculosis, syphilis, gonorrhea and dengue fever, accounting for 92.7% of the total reported cases of Class B infectious diseases.

　　In the same period, a total of 575,348 cases of Class C infectious diseases were reported, and no deaths were reported. The top three reported diseases are influenza, hand-foot-mouth disease and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, accounting for 80.2% of the total reported cases of Class C infectious diseases.

　　CCTV News:South Korean Presidential Palace Cheongwadae announced on the 8th that Moon Jae in will meet with a visiting high-level delegation from the DPRK on the 10th. Members of the delegation include Jin Yongnan, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People’s Assembly of the DPRK, Jin Yuzheng, First Deputy Minister of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, Cui Hui, Chairman of the State Sports Steering Committee, and Li Shanquan, Chairman of the Peaceful Reunification Committee of the Motherland. According to Xinhua News Agency, the DPRK delegation arrived at Incheon Airport in South Korea by special plane at noon on the 9th.

　　Who’s Jin Yuzheng? What is the future trend of the situation on the peninsula? Will the representatives of North Korea, South Korea and the United States interact outside of sports events? The PyeongChang Winter Olympics in 2018 was full of topics before it started.

　　Rare! Kim Jong-un once only took his twin sister to inspect the troops.

　　Jin Yuzheng is the daughter of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and the younger sister of Kim Jong Un.

　　On March 9, 2014, Jin Yuzheng made her first "official appearance" in a report on North Korean national television. At that time, Kim Jong-un was elected as the representative of Baitoushan Constituency No.111 with 100% support rate. Jin Yuzheng, known as "Comrade", appeared for the first time in the report, and a "close-up" of her voting was shown.

　　On November 27th, 2014, Kim Jong-un inspected the 426 Animation Studio. Korean Central News Agency mentioned Jin Yuzheng, Vice Minister of the Central Committee of the Labor Party, when introducing the accompanying personnel. This was the first time that the North Korean media publicized Jin Yuzheng’s position, which attracted the attention of foreign media.

　　After that, Jin Yuzheng can always be seen in Kim Jong-un’s activities reported by North Korea’s official media. From watching performances, to inspecting factories and museums, to inspecting military training activities, Jin Yuzheng’s name can always be found in the list of accompanying persons.

　　From March 9, 2014 to March 12, 2015, Jin Yuzheng accompanied Kim Jong-un on 25 inspections. Since November, 2014, Jin Yuzheng has been accompanying Kim Jong-un to inspect more and more frequently, accounting for more than half of the total times. Generally speaking, Jin Yuzheng’s people’s livelihood and cultural performances are twice as many as her military and political visits. However, since November 2014, her visits to the army have been basically the same as other activities. In January 2015, Jin Yuzheng’s public activities were particularly active, and he accompanied Kim Jong-un on seven inspections.

　　On March 12, 2015, Kim Jong-un, the top leader of North Korea, visited a defense squadron in the front post on the east coast of North Korea. In Korean Central News Agency’s report, only the name of Kim Jong-un’s sister Jin Yuzheng was mentioned, but the names of other accompanying persons were not mentioned. Judging from the pictures released by the Workers’ Party of Korea, Jin Yuzheng not only accompanied Kim Jong-un to inspect the whole process, but also participated in the final photo. This kind of situation is rare. Usually, the entourage of Kim Jong-un does not take part in the group photo during the inspection activities, and it is the first time that only Kim Jong-un’s brother and sister inspect the troops in the official media of North Korea.

　　At present, it is a critical moment for the DPRK and the ROK to release goodwill and improve bilateral relations. Kim Jong-un sent Jin Yuzheng to represent North Korea in the opening ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, and the position of the younger sister in North Korea’s political arena is self-evident.

　　The South Korean side also attaches great importance to the first entry of North Korean Kim family members into Korea. A spokesman for South Korea’s Cheongwadae said that all preparations would be made to ensure the smooth visit of the DPRK high-level delegation to South Korea to participate in the Olympic Games, and called Jin Yuzheng’s visit "of great significance". As Jin Yuzheng is an important figure in the Labor Party, the ROK expects that she will have considerable discretion in this trip, which is more important than Jin Yongnan’s coming to hankyung alone, and the ROK and the DPRK may take this opportunity to have a more meaningful dialogue.

　　The close interaction between the DPRK and the ROK, the United States and Japan secretly "make bad"

　　The 23rd Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea in 2018 is destined to be an "unusual" Winter Olympics. Before that, the Vice President of the United States invited "special guests" to pour cold water on the relations between the DPRK and the ROK, and then members of the North Korean "Baitoushan family" (Kim family) entered Korea for the first time. During this period, it was reported that Trump’s daughter would attend the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics and the South Korean Unification Ministry made intensive statements four times in three days … … The "feature film" of the 2018 Winter Olympics has not yet started, and the "trailer" alone is as wonderful as any Hollywood movie.

　　At the beginning of the new year in 2018, the DPRK and the ROK changed the normal state of "arrogance" and "angry words", shelved the dispute between nuclear weapons and Sadr, and launched active "ice-breaking" talks around the Winter Olympics in a "double pause" posture, which achieved many results. For example, the DPRK and the ROK will jointly hold the flag of the Korean Peninsula at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, the Korean art troupe will perform the opening ceremony in South Korea, and the DPRK and the ROK have expressed their positive will to improve the bilateral relations in the future … …

　　At the same time of close interaction between the DPRK and the ROK, the United States began to "pour cold water" on the slowly warming DPRK-ROK relations.

　　US President Donald Trump confirmed last month that he would send Vice President Burns as the head of the US delegation to attend the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. However, it is not known what attitude Burns will take to intervene in the situation on the Korean Peninsula. A White House official said that Burns believed that the DPRK wanted to use the Winter Olympics to "engage in propaganda activities" and he intended to "show up" at the Winter Olympics to "offset" the DPRK’s influence and self-promotion efforts.

　　According to Washington post, Burns will invite a "special guest", namely Fred, the father of the late American college student Otto Warmbier, to visit Korea. Otto Warmbier was charged and convicted of conspiring to subvert the state in North Korea, and was detained for more than a year. He was released to China in June last year, but he was in a coma and died a few days later. This incident once prompted the State Council to issue a travel ban to the DPRK.

　　It is also reported that US President Trump’s daughter ivanka will lead a presidential delegation to attend the closing ceremony of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. Some South Korean media analysts said that if ivanka really attended the closing ceremony of PyeongChang Winter Olympics as reported by CNN, and Kim Jong-un’s younger sister Jin Yuzheng also went south for a pre-meeting, it might be possible for them to meet in the closing ceremony of Winter Olympics.

　　The DPRK, the United States and South Korea are playing hot, and Japan is also joining in the fun. According to the news released by the Japanese government on the 3rd, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will meet with Burns before attending the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, suggesting that the US-South Korea joint military exercise should not be scaled down after the Winter Olympics.

　　… …

　　The Korean Peninsula crisis has lasted for more than 20 years, and the biggest obstacle is the "return to Asia-Pacific strategy" of the United States. However, this "door-to-door talk" between the DPRK and the ROK is a sincere attempt by the DPRK. It is hoped that with the efforts of all parties, the stability of the DPRK and the ROK will be further developed, and the rare "warm drama" between the DPRK and the ROK will not become a "farce" with no end in some countries.

　　In August, the temperature rises, the rainfall increases, and the humid and hot weather is conducive to the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and vectors, causing the spread of many infectious diseases.

　　Experts from Henan CDC hereby remind residents to focus on hand-foot-mouth disease, fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome, brucellosis, novel coronavirus infection, monkeypox and food poisoning this month. In addition, special attention should be paid to the prevention of extreme weather events and accidental injuries of children and adolescents during summer vacation.

　　Key tips

　　First, hand, foot and mouth disease

　　Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease in children, which is caused by various enterovirus infections. Children under 5 years old are more likely to be infected through close contact, respiratory droplets and digestive tract. Recently, the incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease in our province has decreased, but it is still at a high level, exceeding the level of the same period in the past two years. We should pay attention to the health status of young children, maintain good personal hygiene habits, and regularly clean and disinfect the family and the surrounding environment.

　　Protective measures:

　　1. Pay attention to personal hygiene, especially hand hygiene. Wash your hands with clean water, hand sanitizer or soap before touching your mouth and nose, before eating and defecating, before processing food, after touching herpes/respiratory secretions, after changing diapers or handling items contaminated by feces; Cover your nose and mouth with a handkerchief or paper towel when sneezing or coughing, then wrap the paper towel and throw it into the covered trash can.

　　2. Do not share towels or other personal items with others; Do not contact patients and their contaminated articles, and pollute the environment; Do not swim or play in the unsterilized swimming pool. During the epidemic of hand, foot and mouth disease, try to avoid taking children to participate in group activities.

　　3. Always clean and disinfect the surfaces of articles or objects that are often in contact, such as toys and furniture. After cleaning, wipe them with chlorine-containing disinfectant or soak them for disinfection. After 30 minutes, wipe them with clean water or rinse them off.

　　Second, fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome

　　Fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome is a new infectious disease caused by a new Bunia virus, which is spread by tick bites. The rain increases in August, and the high temperature and humid environment is suitable for the growth and reproduction of ticks. When you are active in parks, fields and other places with dense vegetation, you should be well protected to prevent ticks from biting.

　　Protective measures:

　　1. Personal protection should be done during outdoor activities, such as wearing long-sleeved underwear, tightening trouser legs, and applying repellent to bare skin, so as to avoid sitting and lying for a long time in the main habitats of ticks, such as grass and Woods, and prevent ticks from biting. Don’t pull hard after being bitten by a tick, spray it with alcohol and then clamp the tick head with pointed tweezers to peel off slowly.

　　2. Management of infected persons. In general, it is not necessary to isolate patients. Medical staff and patients’ families in medical institutions should do personal protection when caring for patients, and the patients’ blood, secretions, excreta and the environment and articles polluted by them can be disinfected by means of high temperature, high pressure and chlorine-containing disinfectant.

　　Third, brucellosis

　　Brucellosis (brucellosis) is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella. The main clinical manifestations are fever, hyperhidrosis, joint pain and so on. Sheep are the main source of infection. People in pastoral areas, aquaculture and other occupations can be infected through skin and mucous membrane contact during slaughter, peeling and milking. Eating undercooked meat, drinking raw milk or inhaling contaminated droplets can also lead to brucellosis. In recent years, brucellosis has also occurred from time to time in non-pastoral areas, so we should pay attention to self-protection.

　　Protective measures:

　　1, sheep breeding, grazing, trading, slaughtering and other professional people should pay attention to daily personal protection, timely medical treatment after illness.

　　2. Try to avoid direct contact with any animals, especially those of unknown origin.

　　3. Do not eat undercooked meat, eggs, milk and other animal products. Choose fresh and safe animal food raw materials, and pay attention to the separation of raw and cooked food when processing.

　　Fourth, monkeypox

　　Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus infection, and its clinical manifestations are mainly fever, rash and lymphadenopathy. In the past, it mainly occurred in Central Africa and West Africa. Since 2022, monkeypox outbreaks have occurred in many non-endemic areas around the world, with a mortality rate of about 0.1%. Most cases have mild clinical manifestations, and the deaths are mainly people with low immunity such as untreated HIV-infected people. Since June 2023, many provinces in China have reported many cases of monkeypox, most of which are young and middle-aged men, mainly transmitted through sexual contact. Men who have sex with men are the key groups infected with monkeypox. People are generally susceptible to monkeypox virus, and smallpox vaccine has a certain degree of cross-protection against monkeypox virus.

　　Protective measures:

　　1. Entry-exit personnel should pay attention to the epidemic information of monkeypox in destination countries and regions, and avoid contact with monkeypox-like symptoms, rodents, primates and other animals.

　　2. Returnees who have a history of suspicious contact abroad should do a good job in self-health monitoring to avoid close contact with others. In case of monkeypox-like symptoms such as fever, rash and lymphadenopathy, they should take the initiative to see a doctor and truthfully report their epidemiological history.

　　3. Key people need to raise awareness of prevention and reduce high-risk behaviors. If they have a history of suspicious contact, they should consciously monitor their health and take the initiative to see a doctor if symptoms appear.

　　V. novel coronavirus infection

　　Recently, the number of people infected in novel coronavirus in our province has shown a downward trend. The elderly, key people with basic diseases and low immunity still need to adhere to personal protection and actively vaccinate. Those who have not completed basic immunization and are not infected with Covid-19 should complete basic immunization first.

　　Protective measures:

　　1. Actively vaccinate. Elderly people aged 60 and above, people aged 18-59 with serious basic diseases, people with low immune function, people with high risk of infection, and people who have completed basic immunization or have been infected with Covid-19 should be actively vaccinated to further strengthen their autoimmune ability.

　　2. Pay attention to personal protection. Residents should wear masks in their daily trips, minimize unnecessary gatherings and keep social distance. Maintain good personal and environmental hygiene, wash hands frequently, often ventilate, pay attention to rest, pay attention to nutrition and enhance physical fitness.

　　3. Use drugs rationally and see a doctor as needed. After infection, residents should take corresponding treatment measures according to the severity of their own symptoms, implement self-care at home, reduce contact with their roommates, rationally use symptomatic drugs according to relevant guidelines, do a good job in health monitoring, and go to medical institutions in time if the condition worsens.

　　Six, food poisoning

　　In August, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, and food is perishable. Improper food processing or storage can easily lead to food poisoning. Recently, food poisoning incidents have occurred frequently in many parts of the country. People must pay attention to food hygiene when eating at home or out. When they have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, they should induce vomiting as soon as possible to reduce the absorption of toxins and send them to the hospital for treatment in time.

　　Protective measures:

　　1. Avoid eating in public places without health protection. Buy food in supermarkets or vegetable markets with health protection. Try not to buy bulk food.

　　2. Fresh food should be fully heated before eating, and attention should be paid to the cleanliness of processed cold and raw foods. Avoid mixing raw and cooked food, mixing chopping boards and kitchen knives, and prevent cross-contamination of raw and cooked food. Try not to leave any food in each meal. Don’t store the leftover food in the refrigerator for too long. It must be heated thoroughly before eating.

　　3. Develop good personal hygiene habits, wash your hands before and after meals and before processing food.

　　VII. Extreme weather events

　　With global warming, extreme weather events occur frequently. Typhoon No.5 "Du Surui" landed in Fujian on July 28, and the residual circulation went all the way north, resulting in large-scale heavy rainfall in Henan, Shandong, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Liaoning, with heavy rain in the local area. Recently, there have been heavy rains in many places in our province, and heavy rains have occurred in some counties and cities, accompanied by complex strong convective weather. At present, the impact of Typhoon Du Surui on Henan Province has ended, but it is still rainy in our province in the near future due to the strengthening of the westward extension of the subtropical high, the uplift of typhoon Kanu and the windward slope in mountainous areas.

　　At present, it is in the critical period of "seven downs and eight highs" (from late July to early August). Due to the influence of typhoon and subtropical high, our province will usher in the humid and sultry weather of "rainfall+high temperature". The public should pay close attention to the warning signals of meteorological disasters, respond in time, and do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling.

　　Eight, children and adolescents accidental injury

　　Summer vacation is a period of high incidence of accidental injuries among children and adolescents. While celebrating the holiday, special attention should be paid to preventing accidental injuries such as drowning, traffic accidents, falls, poisoning, burns, electric shock, airway foreign bodies, and animal bites.

　　Protective measures:

　　1. Parents should carry out safety inspection on daily necessities at home, so as to eliminate those foreseeable and avoidable safety hazards, such as hot water bottles, hot water cups and kitchen utensils with hot soup, which should be placed out of children’s reach; Household electrical equipment and power supply should be kept away from children’s reach; Take good care of household chemicals, and it is best to store medicines in safe packages that prevent children from opening them.

　　2. In terms of children’s diet and daily life, it should be fresh and non-toxic to prevent food pollution and deterioration. Teach children not to run or cry when eating, and correct the bad habits of children’s mouth contents.

　　3. Never leave children alone by the open water source. No matter in the water at home, indoors, outdoors or other places, the distance between parents and children should be within reach and concentrate on nursing. Parents must educate their children not to swim in dangerous waters/water bodies or informal swimming pools to prevent drowning. If you encounter a drowning companion, don’t rescue yourself by force. You should shout for help and ask people around you to help you.

　　4. Pay attention to cultivate children’s safety awareness, guide children to obey traffic rules, don’t chase and fight on the side of the road, and sit in the child safety seat and fasten the seat belt when traveling by car.

　　Dong Weimin, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary General, attended the forum.

　　Cctv news(Reporter Li Wenxue): According to the requirements of the "Class B and B Tube" general plan notice of the comprehensive group of the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism and the "novel coronavirus Infection Prevention and Control Plan (10th Edition)", on January 9th, the Harbin Leading Group Command issued a notice on optimizing and adjusting the nucleic acid detection strategy, requiring that no nucleic acid should be done unless necessary, at least one 24-hour nucleic acid detection point should be set up in all districts and counties, and personnel of key institutions should carry out antigen or nucleic acid detection.

　　According to the notice, it is required to insist on not doing nucleic acid unless necessary, and no longer carry out nucleic acid screening for all staff. Community residents are "willing to check and check" as needed. The cost of nucleic acid testing for personnel and medical personnel in key institutions such as nursing homes and welfare homes shall be borne by the competent department of industry according to the requirements of "who is in charge, who is responsible and who pays"; Other people will pay for nucleic acid testing from January 10, 2023.

　　All districts and counties (cities) should rely on community health service centers or township hospitals to set up enough convenient nucleic acid detection points, and at least one 24-hour nucleic acid detection point should be set up to facilitate the needs of the public. All nucleic acid detection points should be set in place before January 10. All districts and counties (cities) shall set up at least one testing point that can provide Chinese and English nucleic acid testing reports to meet the needs of citizens for nucleic acid testing abroad.

　　Medical institutions should carry out antigen or nucleic acid detection for outpatients (emergency) with fever and respiratory infection symptoms, hospitalized patients with severe and high risk, and symptomatic medical staff.

　　During the epidemic period, the staff in places where vulnerable people are concentrated, such as pension institutions and social welfare institutions, will carry out full-time nucleic acid testing twice a week, and the people who are cared for will carry out antigen or nucleic acid testing twice a week.

　　Foreigners enter the gathering place of vulnerable people, check the negative certificate of nucleic acid test within 48 hours and carry out antigen test on the spot; Enter all kinds of business premises, commercial stores, government agencies, enterprises and institutions, and no longer check the negative certificate of nucleic acid detection.

Compared with previous years, this year’s 618 is still a lot of excitement. As the first mega-event promotion node after the lifting of the epidemic control, it is also the 20th anniversary of the founding of JD.COM. At the party on June 18th, the new CEO of JD.COM, Xu Ran, Chairman of Gree Electric, Dong Mingzhu and others all attended.

At the party, Dong Mingzhu also announced that Gree Electric will cooperate with JD.COM in all categories, and strive to bring better products to users. At the party, Dong Mingzhu, as always, advertised his products:"Gree has been striving to provide better products. After all, only Gree’s air conditioners in the world don’t blow people."

When it comes to air conditioning, the best-selling brands in everyone’s impression are traditional white goods manufacturers such as Gree, Midea and TCL, among which Gree is famous for focusing on the air conditioning market. It is estimated that many people still remember the advertising words "Gree, master the core technology".

There is a saying that Gree air conditioners do sell well. In JD.COM’s air conditioner sales list, Gree is the manufacturer with the most products in the top ten, and only two air conditioners with a price of more than 3,000 yuan are Gree. In Tmall’s hot-selling list, Gree is also on the list.

What did Dong Mingzhu say: "Gree air conditioners don’t blow people"? Does Gree really rely on this to win the recognition of users?

Air conditioning doesn’t blow people, what black technology?

For Xiao Lei, who lives in the south, air conditioning is a life-saving tool in summer. Since April in Guangzhou, the temperature may be higher than 30 degrees, and in the next six months, it is basically normal for the highest temperature to exceed 30 degrees. It can be said that the time of blowing air conditioning is close to half a year.

Friends who often blow air conditioners know that although the air conditioner is good, it is uncomfortable to blow it too much, especially when the air outlet of the air conditioner is facing you. Even in hot summer, as long as the operation of the air conditioner is still normal, you will start looking for the air conditioner in less than 10 minutes to see if you can change the wind direction of the air conditioner and stop blowing it on your head.

The cold air of air conditioner blowing directly on the human body will cause the somatosensory temperature to drop rapidly, and it only takes a short time for you to feel the coldness like winter in summer. Many netizens even bluntly said that direct air-conditioning blowing will give them headaches. Sometimes they forget to adjust the air-conditioning wind direction before going to bed, and get up the next day with a headache and a cold.

Source: VEER

Gree’s propaganda really poked a lot of people’s pain points. After all, if you can make yourself sleep more comfortably at the same price, why not?

Generally speaking, the design of "not blowing people" is called "soft wind" in the industry, and there are many brands promoting the function of soft wind. Xiaomi, TCL and other brands all have products featuring the function of "soft wind". Generally speaking, it is realized by the design of soft wind plate and upper blowing. As long as the air duct is changed, the demand of "air conditioning does not blow people" can be easily realized.

However,What Dong Mingzhu wants to say is obviously more than this. What she said "air conditioning doesn’t blow people" may be more a summary of Gree air conditioning’s technical strength, product design and user demand.Technically speaking, the long-term cold air blowing directly is largely due to the lack of refrigeration capacity of air conditioners, which leads to the inability to cool the room quickly and has to extend the cooling time.

Source: VEER

The "core technology" that Gree has been promoting actually refers to Gree’s air conditioning compressor technology. As the core of air conditioning, the performance of the compressor itself directly determines the cooling and heating effects of air conditioning. In some real-life tests, Gree’s air conditioners are indeed among the best in cooling speed.

Simply put, just let the room reach the set temperature in a short time, then the air conditioner can enter the maintenance mode with low power consumption, and only need to keep the room temperature with low air volume. If the cold wind blows for a short time, it will naturally not give people a strong coolness, which coincides with the requirement of "not blowing people".

More efficient air-conditioning compressor, with the design of flexible air plate and upper air outlet, makes Gree air-conditioning give users a better experience when cooling. Perhaps this is what Dong Mingzhu said, "Only Gree’s air conditioners don’t blow people", and behind it is also the confidence in Gree’s technology and products.

However, whether Gree air conditioners sell well is because they don’t blow people, I’m afraid there is still a question mark.

Which air conditioners are more popular in this 618?

Writing here, Xiao Lei can’t help wondering, what are the most popular air conditioners in 618? What are the functions of the new air conditioner now? Judging from the total sales list of JD.COM, the top three are Gree, Xiaomi and Midea, and their prices are all below 3,000 yuan, all of which are 1.5-horse hanging air conditioners.

Source: JD.COM

Judging from the total sales record of the list, Gree and Xiaomi are cliff-leading, both of which have sold more than 200,000 pieces. It is not an exaggeration to say that these two products are the most popular air conditioners of 618. On the product introduction page,After a brief summary, Xiao Lei found that the selling points of the two are actually very similar: silence, rapid refrigeration, frequency conversion and power saving, and self-cleaning..

The biggest difference between the two is that Xiaomi, who has been deeply involved in the field of smart home appliances, has added a remote Zhilian function to his air conditioner, which can be remotely controlled through apps such as Mijia, which is much more convenient than traditional air conditioners, even if he forgets to turn off the air conditioner when going out, he can also remotely operate it. Gree, on the other hand, doesn’t support it, and it needs the help of an additional infrared remote control gateway.

Generally speaking, the functions of the two air conditioners are very similar. In the past two years, the internal and external machines with special functions were self-cleaning. Now, they have become the standard of two thousand yuan air conditioners, which makes people feel a little overwhelmed by the air conditioning industry. Moreover, in Internet home appliance brands, intelligent interconnection has become a standard product, but traditional home appliance manufacturers often only carry intelligent interconnection systems on high-end product lines.

Looking at other products in the list, the functions are basically the same, and the main selling points are very similar. As for the biggest reason to guide users to make choices, I am afraid it is price and brand power. In terms of price, it can be seen that except Gree, most of the hot-selling air conditioners are between 2,000 and 3,000 yuan, while Xiaomi is the cheapest 1.5 air conditioners on the list with a bottom of 1,879 yuan.

Basically, at present, when users choose air conditioners, they still value power saving, power, durability, etc., and have low requirements for some new functions.Of course, there are also some products with "new functions" in the list. For example, Haier’s Jingyue series is equipped with intelligent light sense sleep protection function, which will automatically adjust the buzzer and indicator brightness of the air conditioner after turning off the lights to ensure that the user’s sleep is not disturbed.

Source: JD.COM

From the actual experience, it may be a function that is better than nothing for most people, but it is of great significance to some sensitive friends with poor sleep quality. In addition, in this year’s air-conditioning market, there are many more products advertised with functions such as "fresh air" and "plasma sterilization", and some high-end users will also consider the extra skills of air-conditioning.

In the high-end air-conditioning market, air-conditioning is no longer a simple appliance for cooling and heating. Some users also hope that it can also serve as a new fan, air purifier and other products to keep indoor air clean. The pursuit of health by users is becoming a new direction in the high-end air-conditioning market.

In addition, intelligent voice control, modular customization and other functions have begun to appear one after another. In the high-end market, these new designs and functions are good ways to attract users.

However, on the whole, most manufacturers are still doing "icing on the cake" before there is a big change in the air-conditioning market today. And in most cases, a 2000-3000 yuan on-hook can meet the cooling/heating needs of the room. As for those extra functions, to be honest, it is not as attractive as reducing the price in 500 yuan.

Five zang-organs health-preserving method-Shugan method

　 　 　 Liver belongs to wood, which is the official of a general, and forms the liver system with gallbladder, eyes, tendons and claws.

　 　 　 First, the physiological function of liver

　 　 　 The main physiological functions of the liver are: dispersing and storing blood.

　 　 　 1. The liver governs the drainage: the drainage refers to the dredging, and the drainage refers to the smoothness, which means that the liver can dredge the qi, and it has the movements of ascending, descending, exiting and entering, and circulates all over the body everywhere to maintain the physiological functions of the human body. The function of main drainage is embodied in the following two aspects:

　 　 　 (1) Emotion: The emotional activities of the human body are mainly dominated by the heart and the liver. The difference is that the heart storing the spirit refers to the occurrence of mental disorders and various emotional lesions when the mind is in charge of the mental consciousness. The function of the liver governing the discharge refers to regulating emotional activities and helping to think about problems. When this function is normal, people feel comfortable, optimistic and thoughtful. When it is abnormal, it is emotionally disordered, which is mostly manifested as qi depression and rage. Depression of liver qi can be seen as sullen, suspicious and thoughtful, sad and crying, hypochondriac breast swelling and pain, irregular menstruation. Hyperactivity of liver qi can be seen as impatience, dizziness and hypochondriac pain. Liver dysfunction and emotional abnormality are mutually causal. Liver dysfunction and emotional abnormality turn into depression or hyperactivity, and emotional failure leads to liver disease, which is dysfunction, while rage and qi stagnation both hurt the liver. Therefore, the characteristics of the liver are: being happy (feeling comfortable) and being depressed.

　 　 　 (2) Digestion: Digestion is the function of the spleen and stomach, and the drainage of the liver can help the spleen and stomach digest, which is manifested in two aspects: on the one hand, it helps the spleen and stomach to rise and fall. Normal qi movement changes are spleen ascending to clear, stomach descending to turbid. If the drainage of the liver is normal, the qi can be regulated smoothly, so the spleen can be cleared and the stomach can be turbid. If the liver’s drainage is abnormal, the qi will be disordered, and the stomach will drop when the liver’s qi invades the stomach, which is vomiting and belching in the upper body, and abdominal distension and pain in the middle; When liver-qi invades the spleen, the spleen loses its elevation, which is dizziness in the upper part and diarrhea in the lower part. On the other hand, it secretes and excretes bile: bile is secreted by the liver, which is yellow in color and bitter in taste and discharged into the intestine to help digestion. Normal liver drainage, normal bile secretion and excretion, normal digestion; The liver loses its function of dispersing qi, and bile secretion and excretion are abnormal. If it overflows into the stomach, it will cause yellow mouth, bitter water and epigastric pain. If it cannot be discharged into the intestine, abdominal distension will occur. In addition, the liver governs the discharge, which has a close influence on women’s menstruation.

　 　 　 2. The liver holds blood: it means that the liver has the function of storing and regulating blood.

　 　 　 (1) Storage of blood: The liver is known as the "treasury of blood". The liver looks like a warehouse, and there is a saying in Su Wen Wu Zang Gen Pian: "The blood lying in the old man belongs to the liver". Modern medical research has proved that the liver can increase blood flow by 25% when people lie still, and the whole liver system, including venous system, can store 55% of the whole body blood volume.

　 　 　 (2) Regulate the circulating blood volume: Only the blood of human tissues can play a normal role. When the activities of tissues and organs are strengthened, more blood supply is needed, and conversely, less blood supply is needed. At this time, liver blood can be re-divided. If there is insufficient blood stored in the liver, the leader will not be raised and he will feel dizzy; If you are not surplus, you will see less menstrual flow or amenorrhea; I can’t nourish the collaterals, and my limbs are numb.

　 　 　 Liver-governing and blood-storing cooperate with each other in physiology and affect each other in pathology. liver blood deficiency can cause disorder of blood-releasing, resulting in depression or irritability. Conversely, liver depression and qi stagnation can cause blood stasis (chest and hypochondrium, tingling, amenorrhea, lump) when the mood is abnormal; In great anger, the liver qi goes up against the qi, and blood can be seen bleeding with the surge of qi.

　 　 　 Second, self-guided massage for liver disease intervention

　 　 　 It consists of qigong exercises and massage. When exercising and recovering, you can do qigong first and then massage.

　 　 　 (A) Fitness Qigong movements

　 　 　 1. save your fist and glare to increase your strength

　 　 　 Key points of action: move your body’s center of gravity to the right, move your left foot to the left, squat down with your legs slowly and knees in a stance, and at the same time, hold your hands firmly, with your fist eyes up and look ahead. The left fist rushes forward slowly and forcefully, shoulder-high, with the fist eye facing up; Stare, depending on the direction of the left fist.
