On the plastic surgery risk of minors from the perspective of "doctors’ persuasion"

     autumn fruits

  "Taking advantage of the summer vacation, secretly becoming beautiful", "Double eyelids successfully landed and made a stunning appearance at school" … … During the summer vacation, some high school graduates and college students will include medical beauty plastic surgery projects such as double eyelid cutting, water-light needle and photon rejuvenation in their summer plans. Relevant departments reminded that medical beauty is different from general disease diagnosis and treatment, with great risks and uncertainties, and it is also easy to cause medical disputes. Therefore, consumers who need medical and aesthetic services need to improve their cognitive ability and make rational and moderate consumption.

  The summer plastic surgery craze for minors has been going on for many years, and there are related reports and risk reminders every year. Different from previous years, this year’s media reports have a relatively novel perspective — — The risk of plastic surgery for minors is expounded by plastic surgeons persuading minors who ask for plastic surgery in hospitals. For example, a plastic surgeon in a 3A hospital in Shenzhen said that during this summer vacation, he advised three or four minors every day on average.

  Doctors dissuade minors, first of all because minors are at great risk of plastic surgery. Minors are not yet mature. After the filler is implanted into the body, the body will develop again, and there will be phenomena such as improper size. For example, rhinoplasty is just right now, and after a few years, the child’s nasal cavity will grow and the nose will become crooked. Minors are also immature and lack judgment. If they follow the trend of plastic surgery, their ideas will change when they grow up. For example, if they cut their double eyelids now, they may think that single eyelids are more suitable for them in the future, and there will be no chance to repent. Surgical anesthesia, vascular embolism and infection will bring unbearable risks to minors. The aesthetics and values of minors will also be affected by the younger age of plastic surgery.

  Plastic surgery is profitable, and it is common to charge tens of thousands of yuan for an operation. For most medical and aesthetic institutions and plastic surgeons, how can the opportunity to make money delivered to the door be shirked? It’s not common for doctors to dissuade them. On the contrary, many doctors not only don’t dissuade them but also encourage them. For example, the advertisements of physical beauty institutions only fail to mention the risks, misleading the consultants on the spot, posting grass stickers on the Internet, and draining medical beauty anchors in the live broadcast room, all of which are deliberately creating appearance anxiety and inducing beauty seekers, including minors, to do unnecessary medical beauty plastic surgery.

  The further risk is that beauty loans, recruitment fraud, etc., once combined with illegal cosmetic surgery, will cause secondary or even tertiary harm to minors in many aspects, such as body and economy. Moreover, these frauds are mainly aimed at students who have just left campus, are short of money, and are planning to find a job. If inexperienced students are not alert to this, they will easily fall into the trap carefully designed by scammers.

  The doctor’s initiative to persuade is commendable, but this "firewall" is difficult to play its role because it is rare. In particular, we should see that under the doctor’s persuasion, the risk of plastic surgery for minors can not be overcome, and the excessive plastic surgery or plastic surgery after deliberate misleading will significantly increase the risk again, and fraudulent acts such as "beauty loan" will be mixed in, and multiple risks will be formed. superposition.

  The chaos of plastic surgery is worthy of vigilance, and the greater and more risks of plastic surgery for minors are particularly worthy of vigilance; Supervision should focus on minor plastic surgery, and minors and their parents should have a clear understanding. It’s cheat people’s best way to get rid of plastic surgery before it’s too late. You don’t have to worry that plastic surgery will "lose at the starting line" if it’s too late. What’s more, you should worry that premature plastic surgery may "ruin the starting line" for children.

Expert analysis: Do they need a "divorce cooling-off period" in the movie?

Special feature of 1905 film network On January 1st next year, the newly published Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC) will be officially implemented. This also means that the "cooling-off period of divorce" which has caused heated discussion before will have legal effect in the form of express clauses in the Civil Code.


Excerpts from the Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC)

Article 1077 If either party is unwilling to divorce within 30 days from the date when the marriage registration office receives the application for divorce registration, it may withdraw the application for divorce registration from the marriage registration office.

Within 30 days after the expiration of the time limit specified in the preceding paragraph, both parties shall personally apply to the marriage registration office for a divorce certificate; Those who fail to apply shall be deemed to have withdrawn their application for divorce registration.


Since the proposal stage, this "renewal period" attached to divorce has set off a discussion upsurge among netizens."It’s not’ free’ to want a divorce?" "Divorce should be calm, it is better to be calm before marriage" … … Many viewpoints collide fiercely, and the "divorce cooling-off period" has become the "divorce frying pan period".



However, Su Qin, an emotional expert who is a guest of Today’s Film Review, has a more comprehensive and long-term view on this "divorce cooling-off period" that seems to be contradicted by the whole network."Each of us has a completely different mentality when facing marriage." From the unfortunate family emotional relationship she witnessed, she saw not only the absolutely irreparable rupture, but also the regret caused by the lack of marriage education. In real life, it is often the film and television work … …


Forget about your trip.

Let the impulsive bullets fly for a while


Let everyone remember "What Mei Ma" and "Pruning Mei", but the original intention is to discuss how love is "not".When the relationship between husband and wife with Ma Dongmei is tense, a middle-aged down-and-out man, Charlotte, opens a "door" and begins a "crossing" journey back to the past … …Wow, isn’t this the immersive experience of "divorce cooling-off period"



In the "dream", Charlotte braved the wind and waves all the way with the knowledge of the "future", not only became a pop superstar, but also married Qiu Ya, the "goddess" that she couldn’t touch when she was a student.Ma Dongmei, who still exists, is just an ordinary "strong fan" who silently infatuates with and guards him.



The only warmth that Charlotte felt before the tragic end of her virtual life was a bowl of fennel noodles with gravy made by Ma Dongmei.The so-called empty dream of making up for "regret when I was young" finally made Charlotte, who had lost her way, return to her original heart of falling in love with Dongmei. Of course, this circuitous expression of "regret" also has a realistic refraction in Su Qin’s daily work. "In the case of remarriage, the initiative to propose is that men are mostly."


Under Su Qin’s interpretation, Charlotte’s transformation or self-help of marriage is the contribution of "divorce cooling-off period" subconscious review. Of course, in her view, goodbye mr. loser still has the defect of unilateralism — — Throughout the discussion of marriage relationship, it is centered on the man Charlotte, while the woman Ma Dongmei is only a supporting role that endures from beginning to end.



"If Ma Dongmei can also have a review or reflection, I think it may be more perfect." It is not uncommon for women to work hard but not complain. Their grievances and impulses in marriage life are also worthy of in-depth discussion.


In a sense, "the cooling-off period of divorce" is often a buffer for "passionate divorce". In Su Qin’s experience, passionate divorce often happens between young couples who are not married long. "They are actually led by emotions, not emotions. After leaving in the morning, they go back on their word in the afternoon."


Wu Xiaojiang and Li Nan, a young couple played by Qiao Shan and Huo Siyan, are on the verge of breaking up their marriage because of a phone call game.



In fact, the "game" itself is just an introduction, and the lack of daily communication with each other is the absolute factor that triggers the divorce impulse; And this kind of "mistake" deserves a chance to "make up" for those who really love each other.


In modern society, gaining and losing are sometimes too easy, so that lovers may talk about "breakup" and "divorce" by the way. This kind of "true temperament" may not be fair to two people who still have enough emotional foundation. Impulsive "bullets" might as well fly for a while in the "cooling-off period of divorce".


Shake your hair and walk away.

No difference between hot and cold, zero tolerance for violence


As for marriage, many China audiences have had "fear" since childhood, mainly from the gentle at home and the tyrannical Anjiahe at home in the TV series Don’t Talk to Strangers.



What makes many netizens uneasy about the "cooling-off period of divorce" is also related to violence: do victims of domestic violence have to endure another month’s injury?


The most direct sustaining factor of marriage is still emotion. The "divorce cooling-off period", which is also based on emotional considerations, will naturally not be absolutely framed.


Excerpts from the Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC)

Article 1079 If a spouse requests a divorce, the relevant organization may mediate or directly file a divorce lawsuit with the people’s court.

When trying divorce cases, the people’s court shall conduct mediation; If the relationship has indeed broken down and mediation fails, divorce shall be granted.

In any of the following circumstances, if mediation fails, divorce shall be granted:

(1) Bigamy or cohabitation with others;

(2) committing domestic violence or abusing or abandoning family members;

(three) gambling, drug abuse and other bad habits;

(four) separated for two years due to emotional disharmony;

(five) other circumstances that lead to the breakdown of marital relationship.

If one party is declared missing and the other party files a divorce lawsuit, the divorce shall be granted.

After the people’s court has ruled that divorce is not allowed, and the two parties have separated for one year, if one party files a divorce lawsuit again, divorce shall be granted.


The behavior of "domestic violence" explicitly pointed out in situation (2) obviously does not exist in the mediation scope of "cooling-off period". However, Su Qin reminded the relieved friends in time: the damage caused by "cold" violence is no less than that caused by externally publicized violence.


Let’s turn our attention back to the movie "The Phone Rings". Among them, Tian Yu and Lele Dai, the middle-aged Kochi couple, loved each other before and presented a model family appearance, but when they got home, they didn’t even say a word to each other.



"This is a typical cold violence." According to Su Qin’s observation, the mode of no-hands-on, polite and peaceful communication is the reality of many families in China. The phrase "for the children" seems to be that the marriage is only maintained to give the children a stable illusion.


In fact, it is these subtle changes in the family atmosphere that children in the growth period are best at capturing and most susceptible. In the movie, Wu Wenxue and Zhang Yan, who were not "taken away" by the light because of the disappearance of their love, had already been discovered by the daughter played by Vicky Chen.



Until the end of the film, the couple, played by Bo Huang and Tan Zhuo, are still "tender". Their daughter, however, has already won the love around her through retaliatory puppy love."These parents are selfish," Su Qin bluntly said. This kind of struggling "living together" will bring huge psychological burden to the children. "In this case, I will say to the children: Son, this matter really has nothing to do with you, but your parents haven’t grown up yet."


Perhaps we still remember the scene at the end of the movie where Scarlett Johansson plays the role of tying the shoelaces of her ex-husband. With the emotional ties that naturally lead to the formation of family memories, they have also experienced the psychological mediation process of "divorce cooling-off period", but the verbal and mental torture and harm to each other before are still irresistible.



Get together sometimes. Any form of violence deserves a zero-tolerance decision to walk away.In the face of the "cooling-off period of divorce", many people focus on the "period" of 30 days, ignoring the "cooling-off" that should really be the necessary support in emotional relationships — — The choice between dispelling impulse or being firm and discrete should be calm enough.

Facebook transmits European user data to the US government or faces a fine of 19.1 billion yuan from EU countries.

  Data Map: mark zuckerberg, co-founder and CEO of Facebook. (Source: Getty Images)

  Overseas Network September 10th US media reported that Ireland’s data regulator has issued a preliminary order to Facebook, asking the other party to stop transmitting relevant data of EU users to the United States.

  According to a report quoted by the US Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC) on the 10th, the preliminary order was issued to Facebook by the Irish Data Protection Committee (DPC) in August. Nick Clegg, Facebook’s vice president of global affairs and communications, pointed out in a blog post published on Wednesday (9th) that DPC has started to investigate Facebook’s data transmission in the European Union and the United States.

  The report was released a few months after the European Court of Justice ruled that the data transmission standards between the EU and the United States could not fully protect the privacy of European citizens. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) is the highest legal institution in the European Union. After determining that EU citizens have no effective way to counter the monitoring of the US government, the court restricted American companies from sending European user data to the United States. Theoretically, American institutions such as the National Security Agency (NSA) can ask Internet companies such as Facebook and Google to hand over data about EU citizens, while EU citizens are kept in the dark.

  The European Court’s ruling came after Schrems, an Austrian privacy activist, filed a lawsuit based on a disclosure by Edward Snowden, who claimed that American law did not provide sufficient protection against surveillance by public authorities. Schrems filed a complaint against Facebook, which, like many other companies, is transmitting data of Schrems and other users to the US government.

  The court ruling invalidated the EU-US privacy protection agreement, which had enabled these American Internet companies to transmit data of EU citizens across the Atlantic. After the verdict, these American Internet companies began to rely on standard contract terms (SCC) to transmit data.

  Clegg, former British Deputy Prime Minister, said that the Irish Data Protection Committee had begun to investigate the data transmission in Europe and America controlled by Facebook, and suggested that SCC should not be used for data transmission in Europe and America in practice. If SCC cannot be used as the legal basis for data transmission, Facebook will have to cancel most of the data collected by European users. DPC may impose a fine of 4% of Facebook’s maximum annual income, or if it fails to comply with the ban, it will be fined 2.8 billion US dollars (about 19.14 billion yuan).

  Although the order applies to Facebook, DPC may issue similar orders to other American technology giants, which may cause serious damage to its business. Clegg went on to point out that the primary task of the EU is to ensure that users, advertisers, customers and partners in Europe can continue to enjoy Facebook services while maintaining the security of their data, and that European countries will continue to transmit data in accordance with the recent ruling of the European Court of Justice until further guidance is received. He also warned that companies need to abide by clear global rules to protect transatlantic data flows for a long time. (Overseas network Hou Xingchuan)

Dongfeng wants to sell Peugeot Citroen shares: cash flow is tight, Shenlong has no hope of turning losses

Dongfeng wants to sell Peugeot Citroen shares: cash flow is tight, Shenlong has no hope of turning losses

  (Sina Automobile, August 8) According to Bloomberg, Dongfeng Motor’s plan to sell a stake in PSA is feasible. On Wednesday, sources said Dongfeng Motor has been evaluating and negotiating with potential buyers in recent weeks to sell some or all of the PSA stake, including a direct sale of the stock or the issuance of PSA-backed exchangeable bonds.

  In a statement to Reuters, PSA said it had "no comment on rumours", while a source close to PSA Peugeot Citroe ? n said the board had not received any notice of Dongfeng’s planned stake reduction. A Dongfeng representative said they had no information on the plan at this time.

  According to people familiar with the matter, Dongfeng’s negotiations on the sale of the stake are still at an early stage and it is uncertain whether an agreement will be reached. However, the reduction of the stake will be negotiated with PSA Peugeot Citroe ? n to maintain a good cooperative relationship between the two sides.

Dongfeng wants to sell Peugeot Citroen shares: cash flow is tight, Shenlong has no hope of turning losses

  However, from a purely financial point of view, Dongfeng Motor’s sale of Peugeot Citroe ? n’s stake is completely feasible. In 2014, under the mediation of the French government, Dongfeng bought a part of Peugeot Citroe ? n to help Peugeot Citroe ? n bail out. According to the agreement, the two sides will deepen strategic cooperation, realize the coordinated development of Shenlong Automobile and Dongfeng passenger car independent brand business, and establish a research and development center across the value chain in China to provide research and development services for Dongfeng, PSA and Shenlong Automobile.

  After injecting 800 million euros, Dongfeng, the French government and the holding company of the Peugeot family became the joint largest shareholder of PSA. Dongfeng Motor’s investment has done quite well. According to Bloomberg’s valuation data of global automakers over the past five years, Peugeot Citroe ? n’s share price has performed third, after Geely Automobile and Fiat Chrysler. The 800 million euros ($897 million) that Dongfeng invested at the time are now worth about 2.20 billion euros, nearly tripling.

  Most importantly, with the help of Dongfeng, Peugeot and Citroen were the first foreign brands to enter the Chinese market, and they also had a glorious history in China. At the beginning of the new century, the Chinese auto market developed rapidly, and the sales of Shenlong cars also grew. Sales reached 704,000 units in 2014, achieving a year-on-year increase of 28%. Sales peaked in 2015, achieving 704,800 vehicles.

  However, due to the failure to adapt to market changes in time, the Shenlong model was outdated and lacked SVU models, which led to a stall in sales thereafter. From 2016 to 2018, the sales of Shenlong cars fell sharply for three consecutive years, falling to 253,400 vehicles, about 36% at the peak, and the market share was even larger. It lagged behind the German and Japanese joint ventures.

  Sales of the Peugeot and Citroe ? n brands in China halved in the first half of this year compared with the same period last year, and are now less than a quarter of what they were in 2015. In the key SUV market, models such as the Citroe ? n C5 Aircross and the Peugeot 4008 are simply not competing in the market.

  Unless there is a significant improvement in the second half of the year, Shenlong’s factory utilization rate of 600,000 vehicles a year will be just over 25%. At this level, PSA Peugeot Citroe ? n should struggle to achieve profitability. The industry generally believes that factories typically need to be utilised at more than 80% capacity to remain stable, highlighting the serious overcapacity problem facing Shenlong.

  In 2018, Dongfeng’s joint venture with PSA Peugeot Citroe ? n saw a loss of $251 million. It’s not surprising that things have gotten worse this year.

  Shenlong’s management also apparently sees no sign of an imminent pick-up in sales. The Peugeot and Citroe ? n dealership networks in China shrank by nearly 80 per cent from 2015 to 2018, to just 666, compared with 1,186 for the Renault-Nissan brand in Dongfeng’s other two joint ventures.

  There is a more immediate reason for Dongfeng’s sell-off of PSA Peugeot Citroe ? n. The company’s cash has looked a little tight recently, mainly due to a sharp increase in working capital, two consecutive years of negative earnings before interest and tax, and net debt of 2.15 billion euros.

  In fiscal 2018, Dongfeng Motor’s operating cash flow actually turned negative at around 1.25 billion euros, a relatively rare event for an automaker that has not suffered a financial crisis or corporate scandal.

  Dongfeng Motor still has ample liquidity. As of the end of December last year, its ratio of short-term assets to short-term liabilities was 1.36, higher than the industry average. But the situation in China’s auto market is severe, and sales have been below the level of the same period last year for 12 consecutive months. Dongfeng Motor expects profits to plunge by 30% in the second half of the year, the largest drop in history, highlighting the sluggish state of the Chinese auto market. At the same time, Dongfeng is also under pressure to invest heavily in electrification.

  Faced with these headwinds, Dongfeng Motor’s cash flow will be improved by the proceeds from the sale of its PSA stake.

  On the other hand, Demian Flowers, an analyst at Commerz bank, said that given the challenges PSA faces in complying with tougher emissions regulations in Europe, "Dongfeng may also see risks in its investment." (Crystal Ulrich)

The effective space of up to 3162mm and the room acquisition rate of 66.4% ensure that every passenger can enjoy a spacious and comfortable riding environment.

In addition, the blue electric E5 PLUS has a leg space of 917mm in one row, an 8-layer comfortable stacked design of the front soufflé seats, and a 119 ° large angle adjustment of the two-row seats of the five-seat model, as well as a more flexible seven-seat model space. The comfortable sun bed room formed by the maximum volume of 1694L after the second and third rows are laid down has taken the riding experience to a new height.

As the pre-sale date approaches, the Blue Electric E5 PLUS is gradually unveiling its mystery and demonstrating its powerful charm as a new choice for family travel. I believe that in the near future, this electric SUV that combines beauty and practicality will lead the new trend of family travel and bring consumers a better travel experience. Let’s look forward to the pre-sale of the Blue Electric E5 PLUS together!
