The incident occurred in a hotel in Shanghai! Four people passed out in the middle of the hot pot, and the woman decided that there was something wrong with the private room.

  In the midsummer, Ms. Mao, in her forties, had dinner with three male colleagues born in the 1990s.

  Unexpectedly, eating and eating, four people are sleepy. Ms. Mao was dizzy, so she wanted to go out for some air, but when she went down the stairs, she fell with one foot empty and woke up at 120.

  So, in the private room where Ms. Mao eats,

  What the hell happened?

  The dining room for four is on the second floor, which is a private room. Ms. Mao recalled that she didn’t drink at that time, but she was dizzy. When I went out for air, my body didn’t listen to me, and I rolled down the stairs. After being helped by my colleagues, I passed out outside the door.

  Ms. Mao compared us with the exact location of falling to the ground. She said that she was in a coma for about ten minutes and was awakened by her companions. And several other male colleagues also have different degrees of vomiting. Mr. Liang, the owner of the restaurant, said that their symptoms were closely related to drunkenness. Ms. Mao denied Mr. Liang’s drunken statement. She said that they ordered a small amount of beer that day, and they didn’t drink themselves. I think there is something wrong with the private room for dinner.

  On the day of the incident, four people gathered for dinner were sent to the hospital by 120, and three young men recovered quickly. However, Ms. Mao failed to recover. After five days, she still felt unwell and was hospitalized again. After that, she appealed to the court to file a claim with the hotel owner Liang.

  In fact, on that day, Mr. Liang had paid the total expenses for the four people’s treatment. In this lawsuit, the plaintiff Ms. Mao advocated a series of expenses for her re-hospitalization. In addition to the cost of a lawyer, Ms. Mao asked the hotel owner to pay a total of 19,000 yuan. However, Mr. Liang did not buy it, saying that the plaintiff’s losses could not be completely counted on them.

  The question is, if the four people were drunk and caused losses, why did the boss, Mr. Liang, pay all the expenses for their first treatment? Judging from this statement of the day, four people ordered sheep scorpion hot pot, Jiangtuan grilled fish, drinks and a barrel of beer. So, what happened at dinner?

  The reporter went upstairs to the small private room where Ms. Mao had dinner. The room was less than 10 square meters. Mr. Liang said that the two dishes that needed constant heating were cooked with a small gas stove and were placed on the dining table. However, Ms. Mao insisted that after the incident, the boss made a big renovation of the dining table. The table top originally had a round part embedded, and there was a small liquefied jar burning under the table.

  In order to prove his story.

  Ms. Mao dialed a dinner colleague.

  Mr. Yu’s phone

  Mr. Yu said, "Because we ordered a grilled fish, the grilled fish is charcoal. Because I saw that the grilled fish in their house was roasted with charcoal fire, it was more distinctive, so I chose their house. "

  "So there was a liquefied gas tank and a charcoal fire at the scene, right? Both at the same time? "

  "That’s right."

  According to common sense, carbon-containing substances will consume oxygen when ignited, and at the same time produce carbon dioxide and a very small amount of carbon monoxide, which is generally harmless to the human body. However, if the air circulation in the private room is not smooth and the surrounding oxygen is insufficient, it will cause incomplete combustion, and the proportion of carbon monoxide produced will increase, while the carbon monoxide with higher concentration will be inhaled by the human body, which will lead to organ damage. Ms. Mao and her colleagues were diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning by the hospital.

  Now that carbon monoxide poisoning has been confirmed, the focus of the contradiction between the two sides lies in whether enough oxygen is provided in this small private room of the hotel, that is, whether the ventilation conditions are enough. The second point is whether necessary safety reminders have been given to the guests.

  Judging from the scene environment, Ms. Mao’s small private room has only one window, and it is open in the corridor. If the lights are not turned on during the day, it is almost a dark room.

  Mr. Liang said that when serving, the waiter reminded Ms. Mao to open the door and open the window to keep it ventilated, while the plaintiff, Ms. Mao, closed the doors and windows herself in order to keep the air conditioner low. Ms. Mao denied such a statement. She said that the waiter never reminded me of safety precautions, and there was no sign in the private room reminding me of ventilation.

  So, is boss Liang’s private room poorly ventilated? As an adult, does Ms. Mao have her own responsibilities?

  Mr. Ma, the guest on that day.

  Now appears in court as a witness.

  The plaintiff entrusted the agent: "Did the plaintiff drink alcohol that day?"

  Mr. Ma: "The plaintiff didn’t drink alcohol that day because she was driving."

  The plaintiff entrusted the agent: "Then what was the reason for your diagnosis when you went to the hospital?" Mr. Ma: "At that time, the result of our blood test was carbon monoxide poisoning." The plaintiff entrusted the agent: "So you think the defendant gave you money because you were poisoned by carbon monoxide in his shop?"

  Mr. Ma: "That’s for sure. If it’s not his responsibility, why should he pay compensation?"

  The defendant entrusted the agent: "There are windows near the stairs, but you are not sure whether to open them now?"

  Mr. Ma: "I remember it very clearly. It only opened a little seam, because it was next to the stairs and it was dusty, so its window was always closed without guests."

  The defendant entrusted the agent: "So you didn’t remember when the waiter reminded you?"

  Mr. Ma: "I remember clearly that the waiter didn’t remind us to open the window. He just reminded us that because the room was small, they wanted to serve food, and then asked us to leave the door open for him."

  The defendant entrusted the agent: "Does the waiter remind you to open the door?"

  Mr. Ma: "He said don’t block the door. He asked us to sit people in that room a little bit and don’t block him from serving."

  As the waiter of that day had left his post, Mr. Ma’s testimony alone could not fully confirm the different facts that both sides needed to prove. But one thing is certain: on July 19th, 2021, all four people were sent to Fengxian District Central Hospital for treatment because of carbon monoxide poisoning. Mr. Liang also paid the medical expenses in time, but what made him extremely unhappy was that five days later, Ms. Mao suddenly came to the door to ask for treatment fees. According to Mr. Liang, this time it was a lion’s mouth. Because Ms. Mao asked him to claim 30 thousand yuan.

  What Ms. Mao asked for was the cost of her second hospitalization, but the defendant thought that the plaintiff’s second hospitalization was unnecessary at all, and there was no direct causal relationship with the hot pot banquet on July 19. Therefore, the defendant is unwilling to pay.

  However, the judicial appraisal opinion made it clear that the condition of Ms. Mao’s second treatment had a direct causal relationship with the carbon monoxide poisoning caused by the dinner that day.

  Despite this, the defendant still believes that Ms. Mao maliciously expanded the loss because she refused infusion when she was treated again.

  The plaintiff, Ms. Mao, said: "In fact, I either refused treatment, or I was allergic to water, and I would send things. Then I also had photos and showed them to the doctor. The doctor said that I didn’t hang them up later."

  The plaintiff entrusted the agent: "After being confirmed by the doctor, she didn’t continue to hang up the water."

  Judge: "Do you want to submit additional evidence?"

  The plaintiff entrusts an agent: "Then add it."

  After hearing the case, the court held that the defendant had no solid evidence, so the inference that the plaintiff had an act of expanding losses was not established. The defendant, as the operator of the hotel, should be obligated to protect the personal and property safety of the diners and should be liable for compensation.

  As an adult, the plaintiff, knowing that there is the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning when burning with charcoal fire, still failed to open the doors and windows for dinner, which is a certain fault and should also bear certain responsibilities for his own losses.

  After the trial, the judge actively organized mediation between the two parties.

  Finally, the two sides reached a mediation agreement under the auspices of the court.

  The defendant compensated Ms. Mao for medical expenses, hospital food subsidies, nursing expenses, nutrition expenses, lost time, transportation expenses, appraisal fees, attorney fees and other losses of 16,000 yuan.

  For restaurants, especially hot pot barbecue shops, managers have the obligation to take the initiative to remind consumers to pay attention to safety, post relevant warning information in the business premises, and do a good job in staff training and on-site ventilation.

  When people eat, they should also pay attention to the hidden dangers in the dining environment and inform the store to take effective measures in time.

Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Make full use of digital technology to empower the silver-haired economy, promote the "three-product strategy" of consumer goods industry, and enrich t

picture

On January 22nd, the State Council Press Office held a routine briefing on the policy of "Opinions on Developing Silver-haired Economy to Improve the Well-being of the Elderly". He Yaqiong, Director of the Consumer Goods Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, attended the briefing, focusing on how to make full use of digital technology to empower the silver-haired economy and facilitate the lives of the elderly, and how to go further.Questions such as enriching the supply of articles and services for the elderly answered questions from reporters.

Constantly improve the digital empowerment means ?xa0;Breaking the "digital divide" for the elderly

  He Yaqiong said that digital technology has been deeply integrated into people’s production and life, but the elderly have low acceptance of digital products and services, inconvenient use and small fonts. In response to these pain points, as the competent department of the industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology continues to innovate, constantly improve the means of digital empowerment, break the "digital divide" of the elderly, and truly let the elderly have a real sense of gain, happiness and security in using digital technology.

One isCultivate and expand the smart and healthy pension industry.The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will focus on the Internet+medical health, smart nursing homes, smart communities and other scenarios, and continue to carry out pilot demonstration selection and dynamic management of smart health pension applications with relevant departments. Up to now, 199 demonstration enterprises, 293 demonstration streets, 80 demonstration bases and 3 demonstration parks have been established. For example, the street care service center can realize real-time analysis and timely warning of the living conditions and physical conditions of the elderly through smart wearable devices and smart home devices, and provide more effective and accurate door-to-door services, which is a great boon to the elderly who are alone at home. In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has published three editions of the Catalogue for the Promotion of Smart, Healthy and Aged Care Products and Services to encourage enterprises to develop and promote products and services suitable for the elderly. For example, physical indicators monitors, remote service platforms for chronic diseases, etc., are all smart and healthy products and services urgently needed by the elderly.

The second is to solve the application problems of digital products and services for the elderly.The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued and implemented the "Work Plan for Promoting the Aging and High-quality Development of Digital Technology", organized special actions to complete the transformation of 2,577 websites and mobile apps commonly used by the elderly, and optimized and upgraded some unique functions such as "Elder Mode", voice search and the elderly area. The first batch of outstanding cases of aging transformation of 44 websites and mobile apps were identified, and a number of new functions and services such as artificial intelligence digital salespersons, 5G video customer service and intelligent news listening were promoted to be applied online. In addition, we will guide telecom enterprises to constantly improve their service methods, and launch warm-hearted services such as special seats for the elderly, door-to-door handling, and customized bills. The online "one-click incoming manual customer service" dedicated line for respecting the elderly has accumulated more than 300 million people. In addition, we have organized the formulation of aging standards for mobile terminals, smart TVs and other products, and promoted the aging transformation of more than 140 million domestic smart phones and smart TVs.

The third is to increase the publicity of digital help for the elderly.Give full play to the role of the Internet platform, make simple, clear, easy-to-understand and interesting intelligent technology teaching videos and public service publicity short films, and strengthen publicity through online "micro-classroom" and "live broadcast activities". Use important nodes such as World Telecommunication Day and Chung Yeung Festival to guide relevant enterprises to enter nursing homes and universities for the elderly, and go to the elderly, focus on displaying some aging-suitable transformation achievements, and carry out more than 200,000 intelligent activities for the elderly in various forms and rich contents, such as "I will teach you how to use your mobile phone", and provide exclusive warm-hearted services for the elderly "face to face" and "one to one", with more than 5 million service people. All kinds of service activities that the elderly love to see and hear truly "go to the online media on the wall, enter the home, enter the hospital and enter the community", so that the elderly can truly feel the temperature of digital achievements.

He Yaqiong said that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will further guide production enterprises, telecommunications enterprises, Internet service providers, etc., and integrate more care for the elderly into products and services, so that the elderly can better enjoy the convenience brought by digital technology.

Improve the variety richness, quality satisfaction and brand recognition of elderly products.

With the gradual deepening of China’s aging population and the improvement of people’s living standards, the consumption demand of the elderly has become more multi-level and diversified. According to statistics, in 2023, the scale of China’s elderly products market reached 5 trillion yuan, and the types and quantities of products also had a certain scale.

In this regard, He Yaqiong said at the briefing that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has guided the majority of production enterprises to thoroughly implement the "three-product strategy" of the consumer goods industry, and made great efforts to improve the variety richness, quality satisfaction and brand recognition of the elderly products, and strive to make the elderly buy with confidence, eat with peace of mind and use comfortably.

First, increase the supply of high-quality old-age products.First, two batches of promotion catalogues of products for the elderly have been published successively.It mainly focuses on 631 high-quality products such as clothing for the elderly, accompanying robots, intelligent monitors and multifunctional nursing beds. For example, aiming at the problem that it is inconvenient for the elderly to get up in bed, we have developed a multifunctional nursing bed, which can realize the function of turning around and getting up with one button, and the elderly can operate alone in bed, effectively improving the quality of life.Second, nine batches of guidelines for upgrading and innovating consumer goods have been compiled successively.We have increased the inclination of articles for the elderly and promoted a number of innovative products that are very suitable for the needs of the elderly. For example, innovative and upgraded home products such as smart toilets and automatic temperature control cookers.Third, encourage and support local governments to cultivate traditional superior food producing areas and specialty food industries.In particular, the supply of food for the elderly and special foods has been increased. Nutritional diets and health foods such as high calcium milk powder and vitamin and mineral tablets effectively meet the nutritional needs of the elderly.

Secondly, do everything possible to improve quality and excellent service. The first is to expand channels.Cultivate exhibitions and expositions of articles for the elderly, so that more elderly people can find high-quality articles for the elderly, carry out consumption activities of filial piety and love for the elderly, and launch hundreds of millions of articles for the elderly covering different scenes and different consumption needs every year. For example, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Civil Affairs jointly launched the fourth "Filial Piety and Love for the Elderly Shopping Festival" to guide the e-commerce platform to seize the "Double Ninth Festival", a traditional festival to respect the elderly, and actively provide a variety of high-quality goods such as clothing, household products and food for the elderly to benefit the elderly. According to statistics, in 2023, the sales of home-aged products tripled year-on-year.The second is to strengthen standard guidance.Establish and improve the standard system of articles for the elderly. Priority has been given to the release of a number of national and industrial standards such as General Technical Requirements for Household Appliances Suitable for the Elderly, General Technical Requirements for Furniture in Apartment for the Elderly and Shoes for the Elderly in the fields of household appliances, furniture and shoemaking, which put forward requirements for enterprises in terms of product quality specifications.The third is to adhere to people-oriented in work.Pay attention to the temperature and love of service, and guide enterprises to provide high-quality and applicable services for different scenarios and high-quality needs of the elderly. Through joint efforts, the development of the silver-haired economy will certainly reach a new level.

Metaphor of Plague | daisy miller: Died of Rome Fever and Identity Anxiety.

[Introduction]

In 1978, susan sontag, who suffered from cancer, finished Metaphor of Disease. The skin-cutting experience and daily experience of the disease gave her an observation angle to examine and analyze the disease discourse in the literary tradition. Fifty years later, an infectious disease came unexpectedly in China, and the long and painful tug-of-war seemed to be an immersive tragicomedy being staged. Everyone had to be involved in it, and had to face up to complex social problems and taste the subtle life situation. This gives us an eagerness to re-examine the expression of plague in various literary works at different stages, and the personal experience from real life will also bring a different perspective to literary interpretation.

Daisy miller, Henry James/Happy, Zou Hailun/Translated, Zhejiang Literature and Art Publishing House, September 2011.

Daisy miller is perhaps the most popular and popular work of American writer Henry James. It was written in 1878, serialized in magazines at first, and published as a book in 1879.

Henry James was born in new york in 1843. Before he wrote daisy miller, he had repeatedly crossed the Atlantic and traveled in Europe for many years. Since childhood, Henry James has traveled in Europe with his parents, and stayed in hotels all over Europe in Switzerland, France and Italy. As described in daisy miller, "Except hotels, they are hotels". James’s father, eager for Europe, not only explored and appreciated Europe’s long-standing culture, but also out of a cultural impulse of the United States in the 19th century. As an educated American, it seems necessary to go to Europe and the old world to find American spiritual ancestors. What Americans really look like and what they should look like, it needs a different culture to be distinguished. It can be said that for upper-class Americans, Europe is a touchstone of identity, whether their identity is noble, whether their tastes are elegant, whether their behavior is decent, and whether their morality is pure. European standards are the yardstick for Americans to define themselves.

In the 1970s when daisy miller was written, with the end of the American Civil War and the great development of industry, railroad tycoon, mining tycoons, speculators and adventurers were born overnight. Although the affluent class in the United States still yearns for Europe tirelessly, the purpose of going to Europe has quietly changed. The trip to Europe is no longer just a spiritual journey to pursue noble culture, but more a way of enjoyment. More generally speaking, European travel has changed from a unique fashion of the upper class to a fashionable way of spending money by the new rich. For a time, American beauties wore eye-catching luxury clothes, lived in expensive high-end hotels, and entered the European upper-class social circle with amazing wealth and self-confidence. The upstarts not only hit Europeans, bringing them dramatic surprises and surprises, but also hit American groups living in Europe.

This is the background of the birth of daisy miller. As a representative of American upstarts, daisy miller, a beautiful girl, met all kinds of Americans when traveling in Europe. Her simplicity, openness and naturalness have been severely accused by American compatriots, and Winterbourne, the hero, is puzzled between Daisy’s simplicity and debauchery. Finally, daisy miller died dramatically of Roman fever, an infectious disease thought to be related to miasma in ancient Rome. (In fact, it may be Malaria spread by mosquito bites. In English, malaria malaria comes from the medieval Italian word "mala aria", which means miasma, and is named because malaria occurs mostly in swamps. )

Researchers usually regard daisy miller as one of Henry James’ representative works during his "international theme" creation period. The works of this period often focus on the acclimatization of Americans when facing the impact of European culture, and the simplicity and openness of American style are vulnerable to the complexity and sophistication of Europe. Obviously, daisy miller is a microcosm of the pure and open America, but in the novel, her opponents are not sophisticated Europeans, but Americans who have lived in Europe for a long time. Europe’s long history, complexity and gloom are conveyed by these Americans who already know the way of Europe. In addition to the wrestling between Europe and the United States, there is also an internal contest in the American circle. As mentioned above, the upstarts come to Europe to stir not only the air in Europe, but also the restless nerves and identity anxiety of the upper-class Americans living in Europe.

Henry James

Warwick: the Back Garden of the Puritans

The beginning of the novel is very distinctive. The story is told by an omniscient narrator who takes readers to the resort town of Wowei near Geneva, two or three years after the unfortunate events in daisy miller. After describing the lakes, mountains and tourist sights of the town, the author fine-tuned the time axis forward and introduced the hero of the novel, Winterborn, an American boy who was deeply educated in European culture. After that, the story is narrated through the omniscient third person, and Winterborn’s subjective perspective is introduced as a filter.

Winterborn met daisy miller, a beautifully dressed American lady, in the garden and recommended herself as a tour guide for Miss Miller. Winterborn felt that the behavior of traveling with single women was not in line with European tradition, but this little deviance made him excited. However, Winterborn found that the young lady was "not embarrassed at all" and "not angry or upset", as if it was normal to associate with men. The attitude of the Millers also puzzled Winterborn, and Daisy’s mother was completely free from the nervousness of her guardian. Although Winterborn is fascinated by Miss Miller’s nature and beauty, she can’t help wondering whether Miss Miller is an honest lady or a rude girl. Is her frankness a national trait or a personal upbringing?

After daisy miller and Winterborn traveled alone for 30 years, E·M· Forster described the proper way for "educated" European men and women to get along in the novel Room with a View published in 1908. When George’s father warmly invited Miss Lucy to change a room with a view, Miss bartlett, Lucy’s companion, became so angry that she couldn’t believe that a man would make such an unreasonable conversation. Perhaps in 1908, Miss bartlett’s anger was somewhat outdated, but in Europe 30 years ago, I’m afraid American girls did their own thing.

Henry James’s novel style is often awkward, ambiguous and full of implications and hints. Although daisy miller is unusually vivid and lively, it does not prevent Henry James from burying subtle clues in the novel. It is no accident that the novel begins in the small town of Warwick near Geneva. Geneva, as the center of Calvinism, represents a rigorous and conservative European atmosphere, and also represents the self-admonition of Americans who carefully seek identity in Europe. In order to get rid of the reckless, vulgar, lack of integrity of the American impression, upper-class Americans do not hesitate to strengthen their Puritan rigor and defend the tradition more fiercely to prove themselves.

But Warwick is different. The beauty and laziness of this resort town, the surprisingly blue lake and the mild moonlight all soften the Puritans’ serious temperament, so that young Americans like Winterborn can temporarily escape from the suffocating air, tentatively break the rules and take social risks. For the Millers who lack social experience, Wowei’s lakes and mountains distract their attention. At this time, they have not yet noticed the hidden contradictions in the circle of Europeans and Americans.

Rome: Ambiguous and Complicated Space

Winterborn’s strict aunt, Mrs. Kostrov, hinted to him that although the Millers looked elegant and rich, their position in the social hierarchy was not too high. This is daisy miller’s first evaluation in the circle of European and American people.

In January, Winterborn came to Italy as promised, and the location of the story changed from a simple holiday town to a broader, complex and ambiguous space: Rome. Different from rigorous Geneva, Europe represented by Rome is divided into two dimensions. On the one hand, ancient art and tradition are admirable, on the other hand, it is chaotic and full of unknown risks. In this field, several kinds of Europeans and Americans, represented by Daisy, Winterborn and Mrs. Walker, began to collide.

The first new figure to appear is Mrs. Walker, who has lived in Geneva for many years and is spending the winter in Rome. This is also a hint, another American who disciplined himself under the European tradition. Mrs. Walker can be regarded as a supplement to the strict and conservative Aunt Costello, because the arrogant Aunt Costello has sternly refused to meet Miss Miller, and the appearance of the slightly gentle Mrs. Walker aims to make readers feel the confrontation between the old and the new nobles.

In the social arena, Miss Miller’s wildness and her own way are a whirlwind. Not only does she not abide by the code of conduct of upper-class women, but this time she introduces a more dangerous factor-foreign men with suspicious identities-than traveling alone with upper-class American men in Warwick. "I casually made friends with half a dozen Roman men who specialize in chasing rich women and took them everywhere." If the Millers’ rural nouveau riche background triggered a subtle but unobtrusive rejection from the upper class, Daisy’s association with the lower class was an intolerable and dangerous act, like introducing a virus into the stable and closed upper class, which made people fidgety.

The dramatic scene took place outside Mrs. Walker’s apartment. Daisy is going to the nearby Pinzio Park for a walk with her "suspicious" Italian friend Chovan Neni. At this time, the threat of Roman fever first appeared in the novel. First, Mrs. Walker tried her best to persuade her, because it was easy to catch fever during the rush hour. Daisy miller didn’t listen to advice, and then Mrs Walker hurried out with the carriage, trying to finally save the wild girl. "Tell her to get on the bus and walk around here with her for half an hour, so people will find that she is not too wild, and then send her back to the hotel."

This is not so much a threat of infectious diseases as an identity anxiety of strangers. What makes Mrs Walker nervous is the chain reaction caused by daisy miller’s lack of education. Her carelessness will make Americans look suspicious and vulgar in front of European traditions, and will make Americans living in Europe encounter a collective identity crisis. Daisy seems to be a suspected infected person. She rashly broke through the boundaries of class and came into contact with the rude virus of the lower class. If she is not isolated and exiled in time, she will endanger the health of the whole upper-class American.

Stills of the movie of the same name (1974) adapted from the novel.

Colosseum: the punishment of plague

In a sense, Winterborn’s hesitation, confusion and delay in daisy miller constitute the tension and structural advancement of the whole novel. In the face of the slander thrown at Daisy, he sometimes dismissed it, thinking that Daisy was sincere and simple, and sometimes it was difficult to convince himself that Daisy’s repeated behavior of breaking through class boundaries was a proper lady’s behavior.

Winterborn’s feelings for Daisy are divided along two tendencies: one is to try to find proof of Daisy’s innocence, so that when he claims to be in love with her, he won’t make a "fatal mistake" on class issues; The second is an impulse to belittle Daisy’s class, so that he can return to the stable and unified values of American upper-class compatriots without any worries.

At the hesitant stall in Winterborn, American immigrants gradually gave up daisy miller. Winterborn "never saw her again in those acquaintances’ homes", "They no longer invited her as a guest, but also said that they would solemnly announce to keen Europeans that although Miss daisy miller is an American girl, her behavior is not representative, and even her compatriots think that her behavior is very abnormal". Daisy miller, suspected of being infected with the dangerous virus of the lower class, was gradually isolated from the American social circle.

But daisy miller seems unconcerned and still goes his own way. Finally, when Winterborn saw daisy miller and Chovan Nene enjoying the night scene in the Colosseum in the middle of the night, he made up his mind to define daisy miller as a frivolous woman, and no longer had any respect for her. At this time, the miasma of disease in ancient Rome revived again, turning into a moral admonition and punishment, engulfing women who did not obey social rules and protect themselves, and making careless girls die in infectious diseases. This social rule not only includes the correct way of communication between men and women, but also includes whether women choose the right communication object. It should be noted that just six months ago, in the small town of Warwick, Winterborn also politely invited daisy miller to go boating for a night outing. However, under the double guarantee of Puritans and upper-class status, such a night outing was obviously not in danger of getting sick.

More than 50 years later, Roman fever in the Colosseum in ancient Rome has a more gloomy meaning in Edith Wharton’s works. A woman set a trap to compete for her husband. She used an impostor love letter to let her rival go to the Colosseum for a tryst, with the intention of exposing her rival to Roman fever in dangerous air and dying. Like the daisy miller incident, the miasma in the Colosseum never spared any women with moral defects. But unlike Miss Miller, who was bent on her own way, this reckless woman learned from a bitter experience after being infected with fever, abandoned the past dust, seized the opportunity of her last marriage and returned to the upper class again. She was seriously ill, but she survived.

Judging from our compatriots in daisy miller, daisy miller may have died of recklessness, misconduct and moral defects, but we can also say that daisy miller died of the curse and murder of our compatriots in the United States who were eager to get rid of it.

In 2023, Chengdu will promote 64 key projects in six categories in the field of civil affairs.

  The Chengdu Civil Affairs Work Conference in 2023, held on March 2, not only showed the "report card" but also drew a "road map": Chengdu Civil Affairs System will implement nine major actions this year, such as caring for minors, raising the minimum living allowance, expanding the scope and accurately covering the bottom, and promoting the implementation of 64 key projects in six categories in the civil affairs field, such as old-age services, funeral, child welfare, mental health welfare, assistance and juvenile protection.

  Bright answer sheet:

  Completed six practical things about people’s livelihood in the province and four practical things about people’s livelihood.

  The "key small things" in the field of people’s livelihood have always been the "top priority" of the party Committee and government. Turning over Chengdu’s "People’s Livelihood Answer Sheet" in 2022, the "cashing" of every livelihood project has promoted the continuous rise of Chengdu people’s happiness index.

  In the past year, Chengdu Civil Affairs Bureau focused on "one old and one small" and special groups, strengthened the basic public service functions of civil affairs, and completed six practical things for the people’s livelihood in the province and four practical things for the citizens. The city distributed 756 million yuan of subsistence allowances and helped 90,000 people with subsistence allowances; 35 community pension service complexes have been built; Create 15 municipal demonstration towns (streets) for the protection of minors and build 2 grass-roots positions for the protection of minors; Build 51 charity demonstration communities (villages).

  In strengthening the protection of people’s livelihood, we will give full play to the "micro-grid" operation mechanism, organize regular visits and care for more than 160,000 special hardship groups in the city, and reach 100% weekly visits to key targets such as elderly people living alone; The city’s charity system received donations of 163 million yuan, spent 114 million yuan and helped more than 661,000 people. We will increase temporary assistance to people and their families who are unable to return to work or have difficulties in employment and life due to the impact of the epidemic. We will spend 31 million yuan of temporary assistance funds and 28,000 people. 

  In view of the construction of the old-age service system, 28 policies and measures have been introduced to accelerate the development of the old-age service, attracting high-quality enterprises to invest in the development of the old-age service industry in this city; In the whole year, the subsidy for service beds was 25,551,800 yuan, and 270 socialized old-age care institutions and 12,600 old-age beds were subsidized; We will improve the old-age care system in home community institutions, and build 234 community nursing homes, 2,748 community day care centers and 508 elderly food service points, and 18 county-level nursing homes for the extremely poor in 17 agricultural areas (cities) and counties.

  At the same time, it will help modernize the grassroots governance system and governance capacity of megacities, and support four districts (cities) and counties to successfully establish provincial-level urban and rural community governance pilots; Register and carry out the "civil capital verification service" for social organizations, and complete the credit identification of more than 12,000 social organizations in the city; Guide social organizations to build employment service platforms and help more than 6,000 people get jobs; District, street and community social work stations (rooms) have achieved full coverage, and 4,794 community social work posts have been developed. All urban and rural communities enjoy professional social work services.

  In terms of improving the level of special social affairs management services, we will do a good job in the "city-wide" and "inter-provincial" work of marriage registration, and handle 175,400 pairs of marriage registration throughout the year; Set up a "one thing behind" convenience service in Tianfu Citizen Cloud, and simultaneously set up an offline dispatching operation center to complete the construction of the "smart funeral" information system; We improved the community rehabilitation service network for mental disorders and the rental service network for rehabilitation AIDS, with a cumulative service of 86,300 person-times.

  Draw a blueprint:

  Do a good job in eight livelihood issues and carry out nine special actions.

  How to innovate and develop the old-age service institutions? How to better serve people with special difficulties? How can social organizations help the industry to build a circle and strengthen the chain?

  Looking forward to 2023, Chengdu Civil Affairs Bureau will take the construction of an all-age friendly society as the overall plan, and take the "year of reform and promotion" as the main line to implement eight practical matters concerning civil affairs and people’s livelihood:

  10,000 elderly people living alone in empty nests are suitable for aging transformation; Build 27 community pension service complexes and promote the construction of "15-minute pension service circle"; Develop friendly communities with cognitive impairment for the elderly and build 23 demonstration communities; Construction of 100 food aid points for the elderly; Achieve a centralized support rate of 100% for willing and qualified poor people; Construction of 9 demonstration towns (streets) for the protection of minors and 3 positions for the protection of minors; Promote Huimin funeral and green funeral, and build 10 convenience funeral halls; To carry out community rehabilitation services for mental disorders, the service sites cover more than 60% of the towns (streets) in the city, and no less than 157 community service sites have been built.

  How to implement various livelihood issues? In 2023, Chengdu Civil Affairs Bureau will not only promote the orderly implementation of 64 key projects in six categories, including old-age care services, funeral and burial, child welfare, mental health welfare, assistance and protection of minors, but also carry out nine special actions, which will also paint a more concrete blueprint — —

  Pilot and demonstrate the implementation of the special action of caring for minors, focusing on the professional advantages of medical institutions and solving the outstanding physical and mental health problems of minors.

  Social workers organized a caring campaign to visit millions of people in need, and supported 100 town (street) social work stations and 1,000 village (community) social work rooms to provide services for 100,000 people with special difficulties.

  Hundreds of social organizations help the industry to build a strong chain, support social organizations to focus on the development needs of 26 key industrial chains identified by the city, give full play to their technological advantages, talent advantages and resource advantages, and implement professional services in all aspects of midwifery and strong production.

  We will raise the minimum living standard and expand the scope accurately, appropriately expand the coverage of the minimum living allowance assistance policy according to the categories of bottom-up, support and protection, and implement household insurance, single-person insurance and classified assistance according to the degree of difficulty and the causes of difficulties of the people in need.

  With the help of "wisdom Rongcheng" and micro-grid entity, we will improve the full coverage mechanism of basic information, innovate the "five-society linkage" mechanism, and improve the quality and efficiency of the service of solving problems and relieving difficulties and visiting and caring.

  The construction of an open compound pension service institution will promote the transformation and development of pension service institutions in the post-epidemic era, release the vitality of pension service institutions, and strive to build an open compound pension service institution without a "fence". In 2023, at least 25 open compound pension service institutions will be built, which will be open to the society in an orderly and classified manner, providing residents with low-paid or free meal assistance services, day care services, cultural and sports activities for the elderly and other service functions.

  We will expand the scope and improve the quality of smart civil affairs, deepen the "Wang" structure of smart Rongcheng, speed up the resolution of outstanding problems such as compartmentalization and industry division in the construction of civil affairs information systems, and improve the efficiency of civil affairs services.

  Open up the smart development of civil affairs, seize new opportunities for development, promote the high-quality development of civil affairs with the new attitude of openness and sharing and the new concept of smart intelligence, build an open and service-oriented civil affairs, improve the socialization level of civil affairs, break down regional barriers and information barriers, and build an open and effective communication platform; Promote the precise docking, integrated development, transfer and transformation of politics, learning and research, use wisdom and leverage, enhance the scientific, professional and feasible decision-making of civil affairs, comprehensively promote the modernization of civil affairs in Chengdu, and achieve smart development.

  The list of basic old-age care services will be released and implemented, the working mechanism of basic old-age care services will be improved, and the supply of multiple varieties of health care, medical care and cultural care will be provided to promote the basic old-age care services to benefit all the elderly.

Fan Bingbing smokes a cigarette, topless, takes a photo, and transforms into an evil punk girl


 Fan Bingbing

    Recently, Fan Bingbing appeared on the cover of the October issue of an Italian fashion magazine men’s magazine "China Special", becoming the first Chinese actress to appear on the cover of the magazine. In the photo, Fan Bingbing has changed from her usual enchanting and charming appearance to a cold and fierce punk girl. This is also her third well-known European magazine in the past month after being on the cover of a British magazine.

    The magazine’s theme this time is "China", and Fan Bingbing, considered the "most influential Chinese face and charismatic Chinese actor", is used as the cover girl. The shooting ditched the traditional filming studio and brought Fan Bingbing, who is out of reach in Chinese clothes, to the alleys and streets of Shanghai. Dressed in leather, she resembles a band singer, and poses as a smoker with a cigarette in her mouth. In the camera, she changed to a funny expression, and acting strangely was her secret to maintaining a relaxed attitude.

    There is a suspicious smell throughout the photo environment, as if there is a dragon tattoo hidden somewhere out of sight of Fan Bingbing’s body. Fan Bingbing candidly admitted in an interview: "I would love to play a clear and evil female character, a strong female character, with a little bit of evil! I adore Meryl Streep, she is my ideal strong female image, and I love her in all the characters." She continued, "I love Giuseppe Tonadore and his films the most in the Italian film industry. If I were to make a Chinese movie, I would love to shoot it in my hometown, which is close to the sea and is very spectacular."

Also a famous director, Yan Min of "Extreme Challenge" has a new trick! "Ace" is disturbing

Tencent Video has launched a new variety show called "New Journey". Friends who often love to chase variety shows are instantly blown up when they see this name. How is it like the "New Journey to the West" by Luo PD, a famous variety producer in South Korea? So without a word, I started to curse at this variety show: it is plagiarism at first glance, it is too uncreative, and the things of Korean sticks are copied over.

Who would have thought that when he opened the program to see how shameless the program was, he suddenly discovered that the program director was Yan Min, who had directed the first four seasons of "Extreme Challenge"!

At this time, the face-slapping scene was staged. The variety show has nothing to do with South Korea’s "New Journey to the West". This variety show is an immersive role-play tabletop game set in "Journey to the West". The fixed MC includes Lin Gengxin, Yue Yunpeng, Huang Zitao, Chen Feiyu, Wang Yanlin, and also hides a big boss Huang Bo. The first 20 minutes of the show made everyone laugh and vomit, which is really interesting.

Lin Gengxin and Zhang Ruoyun, a pair of silly roe deer and Erhazi, Huang Zitao, a talented perfect comedy variety artist, and Chen Feiyu, who can be developed, all made everyone’s eyes shine. The jokes of the specific show can only be understood by everyone watching it themselves. In short, most of the viewers who watched it gave high praise.

The variety show "Ace vs. Ace", which also met with everyone this weekend, has gone through seven seasons, which is quite long. But this latest episode makes everyone feel very upset.

One is to deliberately tear up. On the second day of the broadcast of the program, there was a topic on the hot search. It said "Zhang Shaohan’s mother". The netizens who have been eating melons all year round thought that her mother was going to be a demon when they saw this news, but in fact, it was the program that made Zhang Shaohan "open her heart", and she had to cut out her heart to everyone alive and uncover the scars for everyone to see. Although everyone understood that the interview on the program should have been communicated with the artist in advance, and Zhang Shaohan agreed to say it. But everyone also understood that the artist is also a part-time worker, and he has come to work. Since you agreed to the invitation of the program, they further put forward other requirements, and you can only do it obediently. Zhang Shaohan can only bring up her own scars and expose her own shortcomings. In the face of such deliberate tearing, the audience expressed that everyone was really uncomfortable.

Then there is the length of the advertisement, which takes up almost half of the content of the program.

A show that can be broadcast for seven seasons has its charm, and a fixed audience tunes in on time. As a result, it has easily won the favor of many advertisers. Advertisers’ favor is one thing, and the overflow of advertisements is another. During the show, the host looked up at the teleprompter more often than they did seriously, and they were all looking at the teleprompter for any screenshot.

2015’s "Extreme Challenge" and 2016’s "Ace vs. Ace" were the first to meet everyone. Both of them became national-level variety shows, and they were also accused of plagiarism. But now, a few years later, the director of "Extreme Challenge", Yan Min, has changed, while Wu Tong of "Ace vs. Ace" is still playing in the same place.

The reason for this state may first be the mutual excitation of MCs.

One thing I have to admit is that the men chosen in "Extreme Challenge" help six people, and it is difficult to re-enact. Those who have watched the show have all experienced their charm. To some extent, several MCs made the show more exciting. Then, Huang Lei and Yan Min collaborated again on "Drama New Life", and Huang Bo appeared in this "New Travels", which forced the director to improve.

In addition, another reason is the difference in attitude of the platforms behind it.

When "Extreme Challenge" was in full swing, Dragon TV was tied up. Faced with all kinds of constraints, it began to be a demon, which eventually led Yan Min to leave the show with his team, and the men’s gang also scattered. Although "Extreme Challenge" is still broadcast on TV, everyone knows that this is extremely challenging. It is also because of the vague attitude of a platform that Yan Min has to start to cooperate in different ways, and there are more different attempts with Bilibili and Tencent.

However, "Ace to Ace", which was held in the palm of Zhejiang Satellite TV, was able to attract many star guests to help it from the beginning because of its arrogance and aggressive spending. This has led to the feeling that there are many defeated children today.

Only by comparing can we make progress. If you do well, please continue to maintain it. If there are still shortcomings, you should reflect on yourself more, so as not to be left behind by the times.

Self-media hype Wahaha and Nongfu Spring "feud", Wahaha: no response

Recently, Zong Qinghou, the founder of Wahaha Group, passed away due to illness, triggering memories from all walks of life. Unexpectedly, some self-media articles said that Nongfu Spring, which is located in Hangzhou with Wahaha, had a "long-standing grudge" with it, and that "Nongfu Spring founder Zhong Shanyuan’s first entrepreneurial income came from Wahaha" and "was fired for flushing goods". On the evening of March 3, Nongfu Spring executives responded intensively, saying that the rumors were not true.

On the 4th, Wahaha Group’s public relations department responded to the upstream news (report mailbox baoliaosy@163.com) reporter that it had paid attention to the relevant situation and did not respond to it. "We have not participated in relevant online comments." Legal experts said that Nongfu Spring has the right to protect its goodwill from false remarks and can pursue the legal responsibility of relevant self-media according to law.

Netizen recounts "The Farmer and the Snake". Network Map

On social platforms, upstream journalists found a lot of such self-media articles. There were short video bloggers who followed the trend and posted videos of "dumping Nongfu Spring products". The Nongfu Spring live stream was once attacked by some netizens, which made the live streaming host overwhelmed for a while.

Zhong Xuanyuan responded to the rumors. According to Nongfu Spring official Weibo

In response to a large number of rumors about Zhong Shanyuan and Nongfu Spring and Wahaha that have appeared on the Internet recently, Nongfu Spring executives responded intensively on the evening of the 3rd. The official Weibo of Nongfu Spring released the article "Zhong Shanyuan: I and Zong Lao Two or Three Things", describing the source of its "first pot of gold", the communication with Zong Qinghou on the development of canned porridge products, the past of selling Wahaha Children’s Nutrition Oral Liquid in Guangxi and Hainan, and the handshake after the dispute between natural water and purified water.

Mr. Zhong said the cloth business was the "first pot of gold" from his start-up, not the online rumour that "the first start-up income came from Wahaha"; he never received a salary in Wahaha, let alone was fired for flushing goods; Nongfu Spring and Wahaha had lawsuits over the dispute between natural water and purified water, but eventually shook hands and made peace. "Zong Lao has always been an entrepreneur I respect," said Mr. Zhong. "He and I are also teachers and friends, and of course, they are also competitors."

Zhong Yuanyi expressed the hope that while expressing his remembrance for Zong Lao, the majority of netizens would not be tempered by individual self-media or big Vs.

Almost at the same time, Zhou Li, the vice president of Nongfu Spring, also issued a post in Moments in response to the "support Wahaha stepping on Nongfu Spring storm". He said that Mr. Zong Qinghou was in his seventh year today, and maybe the old man did not expect that his death would be used by some people to attack another company in the same city and become a hot topic of public opinion. Although the two companies were in the same city in the early years of competition, and even went to court, they still competed openly under the legal framework. During the debate, the same media would be invited to hold a press conference, each talking about their own opinions. "Zhejiang businesspeople don’t have the scene of eating and drinking together, but in fact, they can watch and help each other when they are in trouble."

On the evening of the 3rd, related topics rushed to the hot search lists of major platforms, and "Vice President of Nongfu Spring responded to supporting Wahaha to step on Nongfu Spring" was at the top of Weibo’s trending topic list.

Some netizens dumped Nongfu Spring. Network map

On the 4th, the staff of the public relations department of Wahaha Group told upstream reporters that they had noticed the relevant situation, "We have not [responded] to this, because we have not participated in the comments on the Internet."

According to the data, in 2000 Wahaha formed an alliance with six large pure water companies, including Shanghai Zhengguanghe and Robust, to jointly accuse Nongfu Spring. Zong Qinghou led Wahaha to file a lawsuit in the Shangcheng District Court of Hangzhou, accusing Yangshengtang Drinking Water Company (the parent company of Nongfu Spring) of unfair competition.

On June 8, 2000, Wahaha held a press conference at the West Lake State Guesthouse during the day, while Nongfu Spring held a press conference at the same location at night, forming a subtle confrontation.

In 2009, Nongfu Spring was caught in the "arsenic gate" crisis due to a report from the Haikou Bureau of Industry and Commerce, which said that the total arsenic content in its drinks exceeded the standard, which dealt a heavy blow to Nongfu Spring. At a critical moment, Zong Qinghou stood in solidarity with Zhong Xianyuan and publicly expressed doubts about Nongfu Spring’s test results.

Zong Qinghou’s move attracted widespread attention at the time. It is widely believed that the two are both Zhejiang people and share the same Zhejiang business spirit – diligence, innovation, unity and integrity, which has enabled them to understand and support each other on the business stage.

Fu Jian, director of Henan Zejin Law Firm, believes that self-media hype, especially hype involving negative information or false statements, may damage the reputation of enterprises and bring a series of negative effects, such as misleading consumers and the public, resulting in a decline in trust in enterprises; secondly, consumers may be affected by negative information and choose to avoid purchasing the company’s products or services, and the company’s sales and market performance will be affected. Therefore, enterprises need to respond in a timely and effective manner to maintain their brand perception and market position.

Fu Jian believes that under the legal framework, companies have the right to protect their goodwill from false remarks. If the information published by self-media is suspected of defaming or damaging the company’s reputation, the company can pursue its legal responsibility according to law, such as filing a complaint; the company can first file a complaint with the relevant platform to request deletion or correction of the false information. If the complaint is invalid, the company can file a lawsuit through legal channels to claim compensation for the loss and restore the reputation.

Mr. Fu noted that Zhou Li, Nongfu Spring’s vice president, had made it clear in Moments that they were unequivocal about this inappropriate self-media hype, and stressed that the competition between the two companies was conducted within a legal framework, "which shows that Nongfu Spring has noticed these inappropriate remarks and may be ready to take action to safeguard its own legitimate rights and interests."

On the 4th, upstream journalists contacted the public relations department of Nongfu Spring and Nongfu Spring to inquire about the follow-up, but they had not received a response as of press time.

IPO in Hong Kong, Zero Run is about to lead?

Among the new forces of making cars, they are divided into two levels, one is the first echelon composed of Wei Xiaoli, and the other is the second echelon headed by Nezha and Zero Run. Nowadays, the second echelon has great potential to catch up with the first echelon. In the past August, Nezha and Zero Run beat Wei Xiaoli with monthly sales of 16,017 vehicles and 12,525 vehicles respectively.

In fact, this is not the first time this year. In July, the sales volume of Nezha and Zero Run Month were equally pressing "Wei Xiaoli". In order to further pursue victory, recently, the news of IPO in Hong Kong came from Zero Run.

On September 20th, Zero Run Auto announced that it would offer shares from September 20th to September 23rd. The number of shares sold worldwide was 130,819,100, the number of shares sold internationally was 117,737,100, and the number of shares sold in Hong Kong was 13,082,000, with 10% sold in Hong Kong, 90% sold internationally, and up to 15% over-allotment. The par value is RMB 1 yuan per H share, and the highest offering price is HK$ 62 per share, which is expected to be no less than HK$ 48 per share.

At the same time, the expected release time of Zero Run is 9: 00 a.m. on Thursday, September 29th, and H shares will be bought and sold for every 100 shares with the trading code of 9863. This also means that after Wei Lai, Tucki and Ideality, Zero Run Auto took the lead in winning the fourth IPO ticket of the new car-making force.

Why are the new forces making cars eager for IPO?

In September, 2018, Weilai Automobile, a new vehicle-making force, was officially listed on the NYSE, which sounded the first bell of China New Energy Vehicle NYSE, and was also the first stock of new vehicle-making force. For a time, IPO is almost the dream of every new car-making force.

In fact, three months before Zero Run announced its IPO, Weimar Automobile, which is also the second echelon of the new car-making force, also submitted a prospectus to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. At that time, some insiders predicted that Weimar Automobile would be listed and traded in the third quarter if all goes well, but at present, the listing process of Weimar Automobile has obviously lagged behind Zero Run Automobile.

Then, why are the new forces making cars eager for IPO?

In fact, the reason is simple, lack of money. How expensive it is to build a car. I believe everyone knows that throwing tens of billions into it may not necessarily produce a car. At one time, CCTV criticized Baiteng by name and burned 8.4 billion financing funds, but even a car was not built. Li Bin, CEO of Weilai Automobile, once said that if there is no 20 billion, don’t build a car; He Xiaopeng also shouted after Xpeng Motors completed the A+ round of financing, "In the past, I thought that 10 billion was too exaggerated to watch others build cars, but now I think that 20 billion is not enough."

As a heavy asset business, there is no doubt that cars burn money. In addition to the technical barriers that the car itself has to pass, financing wars and burning money and blood transfusion are the only ways for new car makers.

Under the new round of capital turmoil, whether it can be listed has become a watershed for the new car camp. In recent years, new car-making enterprises have successfully landed in the capital market, and even achieved "double-board" listing, which has been given a high valuation by the market. This not only stimulates the listing desire of other car-making enterprises, but also intensifies the industry competition.

Can the zero run of IPO in Hong Kong lead successfully?

I still remember that in 2021, at the launch conference of the Zero Run Car 2.0 strategy, Zhu Jiangming shouted the slogans of "surpassing Tesla in three years", "pushing eight new cars in four years" and "selling 800,000 vehicles in 2025", and it is necessary to realize the overtaking and leading of Tesla in intelligent driving technology.

As a corporate slogan, it is not a problem to increase the team’s sense of unity and inspire everyone to work hard. It is only three years to surpass Tesla. Is this possible? I’m afraid Zhu Jiangming has no bottom in his heart.

It is hard to say whether it can surpass Tesla, but the sales of zero-running cars have indeed surpassed "Wei Xiaoli", and the recent momentum is really fierce.

From July to August this year, the sales volume of zero-running cars exceeded 10,000 for two consecutive months, with 12,044 vehicles and 12,525 vehicles respectively. From January to August, a total of 76,556 vehicles were delivered by zero-run vehicles, which is one of the fastest-growing enterprises in the sales of new car-making forces, and has now been firmly in the lineup of the first echelon.

Sales are increasing, but profit is still a problem.

In 2019, 2020 and 2021, the revenue of zero-running cars was 116.9 million yuan, 631.3 million yuan and 3.132 billion yuan respectively, while the operating losses were 730 million yuan, 870 million yuan and 2.868 billion yuan respectively. The losses during the year were 900 million yuan, 1.1 billion yuan and 2.846 billion yuan respectively.

The loss in three years was 4.846 billion yuan. According to the prospectus, the company’s net loss in the first quarter of this year was 1.042 billion yuan. That is to say, from 2019 to the first quarter of this year, the zero-running car has accumulated losses of more than 5.8 billion yuan. The more you sell, the more you lose.

From the perspective of gross profit margin, from 2019 to 2021, the gross profit margin of zero-running cars was -95.7%, -50.6% and -44.3% respectively. Although the gross profit margin is increasing year by year, the gap is still large compared with "Wei Xiaoli".

Therefore, the actual situation of the seemingly scenic zero-running car is not optimistic, and it will be listed as soon as possible or the only chance to get a break.

Of course, even if it is successfully listed, Zero Run still cannot escape the market competition. From the product point of view, at present, there are three models of zero-run cars, namely coupe zero-run S01, mini-car zero-run T03 and medium-sized SUV zero-run C11. Although it is positioned as a mid-to high-end market with a price range of 100,000-300,000 yuan, its retail T03, which focuses on the low-end market, has become the main sales force. However, the profit margin brought by mini-cars is extremely limited.

Nowadays, the price of raw materials has skyrocketed, which makes the advantages of mini-cars no longer obvious, and ultimately affects the sales and profits of car companies. Not only zero-run cars, but also Weimar cars, which have been wandering in the low-end market, are also facing difficulties.

Of course, Zero Run is also trying to change the current product layout. It is mentioned in the prospectus that by the end of 2025, Zero Run plans to launch eight new models, including three cars, four SUV models and one MPV model, to expand its product matrix. And this requires a lot of financial support, so IPO has become the quickest way.

At present, the competition in the new energy automobile industry is becoming increasingly fierce. Traditional car companies, new forces and internet companies have joined the army of car makers. Specifically, BYD’s sales are far ahead; Although the sales volume of "Wei Xiaoli" is not good this year, its layout is complete and its advantages are still there. Although the zero-run car took the lead in becoming the fourth listed new force in China, there are still too many unknowns to achieve the lead.
