What was the staple food eaten by the ancestors of Mentougou in Beijing more than 10 thousand years ago? What did Qinghai people use to make noodles more than 4000 years ago? 6,000 years ago, the population of the Central Plains increased greatly for the first time because of what crops?

Archaeology has proved that the answer is millet, which is commonly known as millet.

Recently, Nature-Genetics published online the first high-quality pan-genome map of millet completed by Diao Xianmin, a researcher at the Institute of Crop Science of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This study not only proved that China is the only origin of millet from the genome level, but also created a precise and efficient breeding method of millet genome, which laid a theoretical foundation and provided a technical path for cultivating breakthrough varieties.

Li Jiayang, a researcher at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of Chinese Academy of Sciences and an academician of China Academy of Sciences, pointed out that this is the first high-quality map pan-genome in the field of coarse cereals, which is of special importance for future breeding applications. This achievement is not only another milestone in millet research, but also the best interpretation of "small crops, great achievements" and will bring important impetus to other crop research.

Identity change of millet

Millet belongs to the genus Setaria in Gramineae, which is the oldest domesticated crop in the world and the main crop formed in Asian/Chinese farming civilization.

The earliest millet found in archaeology appeared in the site of Donghulin in Mentougou District, Beijing, 11,500 years ago. There is no millet in Europe earlier than 3500 years ago.

Diao Xianmin, the correspondent of the paper, told China Science Journal that millet had long occupied the position of staple food in farming culture before the arrival of agricultural production system with high input (water conservancy, fertilizer and pesticide).

From Xia and Shang Dynasties to Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, millet has always occupied a primary position in grain. Especially in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, millet in the south developed unprecedentedly and reached the peak of historical prosperity. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, millet entered the first recession, and the status of rice and wheat rose, replacing the traditional status of millet, forming a pattern of southern rice and northern wheat, but millet was still the core crop at that time.

Since modern times, with the breakthrough of green revolution of wheat, rice and other crops, the advantage of millet as a staple food has been gradually weakened. "In fact, it is only nearly 40 years since millet changed from a big crop to a small crop." Diao Xianmin said that Heilongjiang was the largest millet planting province in China in the early days of the founding of New China. In 1978, the millet planting area in Heilongjiang Province reached 20 million mu, but now the total millet planting area in China is only 20 million mu.

However, millet, the kernel of millet, has high nutritional value, which makes it a popular miscellaneous grain.

In recent years, with the increasingly obvious problems of climate change, agricultural sustainability and food security, scientists have placed new hopes on millet with the characteristics of drought tolerance, barren tolerance, strong environmental adaptability, easy transformation and easy laboratory operation.

Diao Xianmin has been engaged in millet research since 1987, and has collected more than 1,500 materials of Setaria from more than 20 species. "China’s millet farm varieties and bred varieties are the most abundant in the world. There are about 27,000 farm varieties, and the breeding level is the most advanced in the world. "

Diao Xianmin said that in order to make better use of these materials, it is necessary to accurately identify the genotype and phenotype of millet. "Now, compared with other big crops, the yield level of millet is still very low. The yield per mu of millet is generally 250 kg ~300 kg without watering and fertilization; Typical high-yield fields have water and fertilizer, with a maximum yield of 700 kg. This is mainly because we have no clear understanding of the population structure, evolutionary relationship and history of wild species, farm species and bred species of millet. "

These problems include that the level of genomic variation of millet is not very clear, especially there is no information on structural variation; The information of resource phenotype identification record is incomplete; It is not clear which genes, segments and loci have been selected during the domestication and breeding of millet. "This requires us to study more deeply."

Draw the first miscellaneous grains "heavenly book"

"The research published now is actually a part of the above-mentioned big project and a by-product. It is not decided to do it in a short time, but with the deepening of research and technological progress, it has been integrated with breeding and production needs and accumulated for a long time. Research results." As the chief scientist of the national millet sorghum industrial technology system, Diao Xianmin hopes to thoroughly understand the millet crop, and cultivate better varieties on this basis, so that millet can play its due role in the grain system.

Because of this, millet has become the first crop with map-pan genome in miscellaneous grains.

The so-called pan-genome refers to all the genetic information of a species, while the graph genome contains all the structural variations in the genome of a species. In other words, the map-pan-genome is the clearest, most detailed and comprehensive genome information of a species that can be drawn by using the current science and technology, which is equivalent to the "heavenly book" of the species genome.

Diao Xianmin’s team analyzed 1,844 core germplasm resources such as wild millet, farmed millet and modern bred millet, assembled 110 high-quality genomes of millet and Setaria from scratch, drew the first genome variation map of Setaria, recognized the basic situation of millet resource variation, and systematically analyzed the genome variation during the domestication and improvement of millet.

He Qiang, the co-first author of the paper and a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Crop Science, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, introduced that the species of Setaria could be clearly clustered by using high-magnification sequencing of 1844 core germplasm-foxtail millet and Setaria viridis. Among them, Setaria viridis is divided into 4 subgroups. Before Setaria viridis was domesticated into millet, there was an older subgroup C3, which was more geographically distributed and had stronger environmental suitability, which was of great significance for improving the environmental suitability of millet in the future.

Liu Xu, a researcher at the Institute of Crop Science of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and an academician of the China Academy of Engineering, said that this confirmed the theory of the single origin center of millet, namely the origin center of China, and was a typical representative of resource research using new technologies.

Not only that, they also studied how millet was domesticated and improved. He Qiang introduced that they identified a total of 4582 structural variations related to millet domestication, 152 structural variations related to millet breeding improvement, and identified 680 structural variation-related genes that were continuously selected in domestication improvement, which were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways such as reproduction, photoperiod, pigment and nitrogen utilization.

2023 is the International Year of Millet. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations believes that millet deserves attention and has a place in people’s dietary structure, because millet can grow in harsh climatic conditions, which can help solve the problem of food shortage. Contribute to a healthy diet; Climate resilience; There is much to be done in improving the livelihood of small farmers; Xiaomi trade can enhance the diversity of the global food system; There are many innovative uses in the fields of treatment and pharmacy.

Diao Xianmin believes that publishing the map of millet pan-genome is the best support of China scientists for the International Year of Millet.

Establish a breeding database

It is already a huge task just to map the pan-genome. However, the team of Diao Xianmin did not stop there.

"What is different from other work is that we have done a lot of phenotypic identification." Diao Xianmin said that they relied on 17 units to investigate the basic agronomic traits of 680 materials and 22 environments in 13 places across the country for 10 years, which is the real multi-year and multi-point experimental data.

"We not only investigated the common traits such as plant height, panicle length, tiller number and grain weight per panicle, but also studied the drought resistance, grain dropping, beige color and grain quality traits in germination stage, seedling stage and whole life cycle, and formed 68 traits and 226 groups of phenotypic data, which is actually a phenotypic group." Diao Xianmin said that they focused on more practical character identification related to breeding. For example, they made a three-year drought-resistance survey in Xinjiang, a three-year drought-resistance survey in Shanxi, and a drought-resistance survey in Hengshui, Hebei.

More importantly, they also docked the two big data, the map pan-genome and the phenotype group, and discovered a total of 1084 phenotypic-related loci, of which structural variation accounted for 5.8%.

Tang Sha, the co-first author of the paper and an associate researcher at the Institute of Crop Science, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told reporters that structural variation in the genome could not be seen before the genome was mapped. However, some important agronomic characters of millet, such as starch, flowering period and ear weight, are determined by structural variation genes.

"With these genes and their information, we can build a molecular breeding module. This information provides a method for genotype and phenotype mutual estimation and phenotype estimation by genotype, which is genome-wide selection breeding. " Diao Xianmin said that this is a database from which you can know what is the optimal gene for a certain trait. With this family background, good genes can be gathered together in breeding in the future, providing molecular and phenotypic basis for future breeding.

"This makes us more clearly see the importance of genome structural variation in discovering gene functions." Qian Qian, a researcher at the Institute of Crop Science of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and an academician of the China Academy of Sciences, said.

Han Bin, director of the Center for Excellence and Innovation in Molecular Plant Science of China Academy of Sciences and academician of China Academy of Sciences, said: "The phenotypic prediction accuracy of whole genome selection in this study is over 90%, which shows us the application potential of whole genome selection in millet breeding. I think this research is not only a classic work of’ pan-genome-quantitative inheritance-breeding’ in millet but also in crop field, which has important guiding significance for future crop genetic improvement. "

The data shows that food safety rumors account for 45% of online rumors, which should be cured.

  "Crayfish is really a bug shrimp", "Seedless grapes are covered with birth control pills" and "Eating large-scale chicken can infect bird flu" … … The rapid development of the Internet, while bringing convenience to people, is also easy to make rumors spread like wildfire. Statistics show that "rumors on the tip of the tongue" account for 45% of online rumors, and the food safety field has become the hardest hit by online rumors.

  On April 17th, the State Food and Drug Administration held a briefing, inviting the heads of relevant departments, experts and scholars, and employees of Internet platforms such as Tencent and Sina, from the Ministry of Agriculture, the State Health Planning Commission, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the National Network Information Office, Tsinghua University and China Academy of Social Sciences, to have a discussion on how to effectively control food rumors through multi-party linkage. Yan Jiangying, spokesperson of the Food and Drug Administration, said that it is necessary to increase the punishment and accountability of food safety rumor makers, improve public scientific literacy, and make rumors nowhere to hide.

  Rumors are refurbished and confuse the audience.

  According to Yan Jiangying’s analysis, food safety rumors have four characteristics:

  Deliberately fabricated, with ulterior motives. The rumormongers disregard the facts, fabricate the so-called truth out of thin air, and even direct and perform themselves, and concoct "evidence" such as pictures and videos to seek illegitimate interests. For example, in February this year, several videos showing "plastic laver" were widely spread on the Internet. In the video, some people said that laver produced by several enterprises in Jinjiang, Fujian Province was "made of plastic" and said that laver was chewy, urging netizens to "stop eating", which triggered a round of "plastic laver" storm.

  Steal the concept and confuse the audience. Rumor makers use exaggerated and distorted processing methods to blur the truth and the whole picture, and frequently use irritating language such as "toxic", "carcinogenic" and "lethal" to fool the public’s cognition. Because such rumors are "mixed with the truth", it is difficult to identify and obtain evidence, and it is difficult to refute rumors.

  Old news is stirred up and deliberately discredited. With the food and drug safety incident as the background, the rumormonger has completely changed what happened in the past; Change the date of new bottles of old wine; The date is blurred or deleted in disguise, so as to achieve the purpose of forwarding each other and misleading people’s consumption.

  Joke and ridicule, negative communication. The rumor mongers dub the film and television clips, make jokes and ridicule pictures and videos, and use the characteristics of the Internet that young people are the main group and young audiences are curious, forming a fission spread, and the follow-up effect will be difficult to eliminate for a long time.

  Disturb consumption judgment and damage the development of the industry

  "Today, with the high popularity of the Internet, online food safety rumors disturb social trust, weaken the credibility of the government, affect public confidence in food safety, and pose a threat to social harmony and stability." Yan Jiangying said that in recent years, people have been extremely vigilant about the "lessons from the past" of problem foods, and they have tightened their nerves at the slightest sign of trouble. Once food-related rumors appear on the Internet, people’s anxiety and sensitive nerves are immediately touched, and rumors will quickly ferment, which will further disrupt people’s consumption judgments and damage the development of the industry. For example, a rumor of "plastic laver" may cause a loss of nearly 100 million yuan to the laver industry in Jinjiang, Fujian and other places.

  "From the perspective of communicators, some rumor communicators have obvious interests, and there are many motives such as economic extortion, public opinion and business wars, and eye games." Su Jing, deputy director of Tsinghua University Institute of Health Communication, said that the circle of friends on WeChat has become the main position of rumor spreading, and WeChat mini-videos, articles from the media in WeChat official account and WeChat short messages are the main forms of rumor spreading. Some food safety rumors are often spread by means of video, lacking basic elements such as time, place and people. Some food safety rumors use people’s fear appeals and moral kidnapping to emphasize the serious consequences, and use inflammatory words, such as "emergency" and "shock", which have strong impact.

  Governance should make heavy punches and increase illegal costs.

  Yan Jiangying said that to control food safety rumors, it is necessary to make a heavy blow, and all sectors of society need to participate together to establish a long-term mechanism for multi-social subjects to jointly control rumors, so that government departments, professionals, related enterprises, news media and the public can form a joint force.

  In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration has upgraded and revised its website, adding a column of "popular science knowledge" and a "rumor platform", which has become an important platform for all sectors to obtain food and drug safety supervision information. The column of "Verification" of People’s Daily has also published investigation reports for many times, and scientifically verified the food safety rumors such as "plastic laver", "seedless grape smearing contraceptives", "eating strawberries causes cancer" and "crayfish is a bug shrimp" for the first time, and quickly dispelled the rumors, eliminating public misunderstanding and panic.

  "There are many online food rumors and spread quickly. One of the important reasons is that the illegal cost is low." Jong Li, a researcher at the Institute of Law of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that China’s food safety law clearly stipulates that no unit or individual may fabricate or disseminate false food safety information, and set corresponding penalties for offenders. "In the future, it is necessary to further increase the punishment for illegal acts, especially for hell to pay, a bad act of spreading food safety rumors through the Internet to disrupt market order and profit from it, and improve the law enforcement shock."

  Zhao Huajun, Emergency Department of Agricultural Products Quality and Safety Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture, believes that it is very important to improve the public’s scientific literacy of food safety, which is essential to prevent rumors from "goodwill".

  Yan Jiangying said that in the next step, the State Food and Drug Administration plans to establish a "green channel for food and drug safety rumors" in cooperation with the Central Network Information Office, and control the key nodes of rumor dissemination at the first time, and at the same time unite major news units, new media and well-known popular science organizations to establish a "food and drug safety popular science communication alliance" to promptly rumor and release authoritative information in a timely manner.

Have you tried instant retailing?

  More intelligent logistics equipment provides support for online shopping of home appliances. The picture shows that not long ago, workers were driving forklifts to carry goods at Suning Huadong Logistics Center in Jiangning District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province.

  Open the take-away platform, consumers can not only order a fast food, but also order clothes, beauty cosmetics, electronic digital and other commodities-with the rapid rise of retail digitalization and instant delivery business, the "instant retail" model with higher convenience and timeliness is quietly popular.

  It is estimated that from 2020 to 2021, the annual growth rate of domestic instant retail will remain at 80%-100%. Industry insiders predict that the compound growth rate of instant retail will remain high in the next few years. The slogan of "Go inside and have everything", which used to be an offline store, is becoming a true portrayal of the take-away platform.

  

  Consumers pursue instant satisfaction.

  "When time is tight, the advantages of instant retailing are reflected."

  Many consumers have found that more and more things can be bought on the take-away platform.

  Xiao Zhang, who is studying in Changsha, Hunan, is from Yangzhou, Jiangsu. Studying in a different place, she often misses her hometown flavor. On this day, she searched Yangzhou’s "Sanhe Simei" pickles on the take-away platform, but I didn’t expect that there were merchants selling them. "This brand is relatively small, and I thought there was no business to purchase. It’ s amazing to find the taste of hometown thousands of miles away, and decisively place an order! " Xiao Zhang said.

  Based on stores and relying on instant delivery, this emerging consumption pattern similar to selling meals outside is called "instant retail". Hong Yong, an associate researcher at the E-commerce Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, told the author that with the help of the Internet platform, instant retailing can efficiently match local supply and demand, with the characteristics of fast speed and localization.

  "E-commerce can be divided into far field, middle field and near field." Hong Yong said that it takes 2-3 days or even longer to place an order for shopping through platforms such as Taobao. The midfielder is shopping on the community group buying platform, and usually receives the goods the next day; Near field is instant retail, and the goods can be received in about 30-60 minutes after placing an order.

  According to Focus on China Post-90s Consumer Groups published by Accenture, post-90s consumers pay more attention to delivery speed, with more than 50% of post-90s consumers expecting to receive the goods on the shopping day, and about 7% of post-90s consumers expecting to receive the goods within two hours. Some consumers use instant retailing because of its speed and convenience.

  "There was an important online meeting two days ago, but the camera suddenly broke down an hour before the meeting. I quickly turned to the takeaway platform and placed an order for the camera of a nearby stationery store. " Chen Min, who lives in Beijing, recalled, "Fortunately, the takeaway brother was very powerful, and it was delivered in less than 30 minutes. This shows that when time is tight, the advantages of instant retailing are reflected. "

  In the expert’s opinion, besides meeting the emergency demand, there are multiple reasons for the instant retail to become popular: the instant delivery system based on Internet technology is more perfect, the online shopping habit is developed under the influence of the epidemic, and the "Z generation" who pays attention to instant satisfaction is becoming the main consumer group … "These factors have promoted the rise of the instant retail model of’ everything can be bought’ and are favored by more and more consumers." Hong Yong said.

  More sellers enter the market for instant retail.

  "I have been doing shop business for several years, but now I mainly rely on online."

  Corresponding to the growing consumer groups, on the supply side, businesses that originally focused on offline began to move online and start instant retail business.

  "You have a new take-away order"-In a fresh supermarket in Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, the take-away prompt sounds from time to time. There is a long receipt hanging from the cashier’s desk, and the clerk is busy sorting the take-away order against the receipt.

  Mr. Li, the owner of the shop, introduced that his own fresh supermarket was opened more than two years ago. "At first, I was mainly engaged in wholesale, and I could get a good supply. Later, everyone knew that our dishes and fruits were fresh and we had many repeat customers. " Mr. Li said that he had not considered doing online business before. "There are not enough people in the store, and I am afraid that it is too late to take orders."

  The rise of "home economy" made him start to consider the transition to online. "After all, fresh products can’t be put down, so we have to clear the inventory as much as possible. If there is an epidemic, we have to rely on online orders." He said, "In this way, it’s good to start the instant retail model, which has an additional market."

  There are also some traditional small shops that simply choose to focus on online business. Lao Zhao is the owner of a stationery store. His shop faces the street. It is small in size but sells many kinds, including common office stationery, hardware and labor insurance supplies, disposable travel supplies, printers and ink cartridges. During the epidemic, he also added mobile phone stands, cameras and other tools for online teaching.

  "I now have 70% to 80% of my business coming from online." Lao Zhao, who has been doing stationery business for nearly ten years, said that when the take-away was just emerging, he never thought that stationery could also be used for take-away. "I started to do it when other businesses were online on the platform. I have been doing shop business for several years, but now I mainly rely on online. It seems that it is right to embrace new things. " Lao Zhao said that the partners who joined with him before have rented warehouses to specialize in online business. Now, he is also looking for a suitable pavement and considering transformation.

  Small shops go online and draw a larger sales radius. The 2022 China Real-time Retail Development Report issued by China Chain Store & Franchise Association shows that through the online store business circle provided by the real-time retail platform and the efficient real-time distribution network, the store business circle will be expanded from the current 1 km to 3-5 km, and the coverage of store users will be greatly improved. For traditional supermarkets, the traffic of offline supermarkets is unstable and there are many influencing factors, while the instant retail platform has stable and massive user resources, which will bring new increments to offline physical retail.

  It’s not just street shops that are actively involved. On October 21st, Suning.cn announced that it had reached a strategic cooperation with Meituan, becoming the first large-scale chain brand of 3C category of household appliances to settle in Meituan platform. Consumers can place an order to buy mobile phones, computers and household APPliances by searching for "Suning.cn" on "Meituan" or "Meituan Takeaway" app, and it can be delivered in 30 minutes at the earliest. According to the person in charge of Suning.cn, at present, more than 600 stores in Suning.cn have completed the establishment of the US delegation, covering 175 cities across the country. The two sides will continue to deepen cooperation, and plan to set up more than 1,000 stores in Suning.cn in 2023.

  The supply chain is going digital in an all-round way

  "Real-time retail mode is not just about enterprises entering online"

  Compared with traditional "far-field" online shopping, "near-field" instant retail has also become a new entrance for consumers to buy large items under affordable orders.

  "I didn’t participate in the’ double 11′ of the traditional shopping platform this year, but I ordered a refrigerator for takeaway." Xiao Chen, who lives in Xiamen, Fujian, said that he had heard that large supermarkets had an "online order, offline delivery" model. Some time ago, the refrigerator at home broke down and it happened to be "double 11", so he tried to buy a new refrigerator on the takeaway platform. "Compared with the e-commerce platform, plus coupons, full reduction, and comparison of gifts, the instant retail platform not only has the lowest price, the fastest delivery speed, but also guarantees after-sales." Xiao Chen said that after the delivery man came to the door, he carefully explained the matters needing attention in the use of refrigerators and after-sales service, which was very thoughtful.

  Consumers’ "home demand" has climbed, and businesses have laid out online, which has promoted the rapid development of instant retailing. According to the data provided by Suning.cn, as of November 11th, Suning.cn’s orders on Meituan platform exceeded 60,000 orders. According to the data of Meituan platform, the number of digital 3C stores participating in "double 11" this year has tripled compared with last year. From October 30th to November 1st, the sales of computer products from local physical stores in Meituan increased by 73 times compared with the same period of last year. According to the Report on the Development of Instant Retail in China in 2022, people in the industry generally believe that the compound growth rate of instant retail will remain high in the next few years, and it is estimated that by 2026, the market scale of instant retail will exceed 1 trillion yuan.

  If "online take-out" and opening the instant retail mode are the helpers for many street shops and traditional supermarkets to resist difficulties and open up sales, then entering the instant retail track will put forward higher requirements for the store’s operation ability. Take Boss Li, a fresh food store, as an example, to do a good job in take-away business, the store must match the special order sorting and distribution strength, and it is also necessary to strengthen after-sales service to ensure that the whole process of sales and transportation will not affect the shopping experience of consumers. For sellers with larger goods, it is an innovative attempt of mutual benefit and win-win to extend their reach online.

  "Meituan has professional localization operation and service capabilities, and has a large number of young users. Through cooperation, we can share the resource advantages of both parties and jointly improve service efficiency. " The person in charge of Suning.cn Smart Internet Company said.

  According to Peng Jianzhen, secretary general of China Chain Store & Franchise Association, instant retailing is not only the need of business development, but also the result of the development of cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things and intelligent technology. Instant retailing brings online traffic to offline merchants, and only by making more efforts in management and service features can offline merchants expect to convert more online traffic into actual sales.

  "The instant retail model is not only for enterprises to settle online, but also requires enterprises to digitally transform the supply chain system, shorten the matching time between online demand and offline supply, and improve supply efficiency and quality." Hong Yong said. Small and medium-sized enterprises should actively improve the digital system to attract and train digital talents; Leading enterprises in the industry should increase their investment in real-time distribution technology and infrastructure such as unmanned vehicles, front warehouses and smart cabinets, so as to enhance their digital operation and management capabilities and truly open up real-time retail sales.

80% of new drug data involved in false supervision has outstanding violations.

  Since the State Food and Drug Administration started the self-inspection and verification of drug clinical trial data for one year, it has been found that over 80% of the clinical data of new drugs are involved in fraud, and the regulatory links behind them have fallen behind, and the violations of relevant subjects such as pharmaceutical companies, intermediaries and doctors are prominent.

  Some people in the medical field believe that with the advance of the verification storm, negative arguments such as "too advanced" and "one size fits all" have risen. The state should adhere to zero tolerance for clinical fraud and reverse the medical ecology of bad money expelling good money with stricter supervision.

  The enterprise intentionally concealed and omitted the records of adverse reactions.

  The results of the verification of the authenticity and standardization of the data of 1622 drug clinical trial projects to be produced by the Food and Drug Administration caused a shock in the whole industry. Some people in the medical field revealed that with the deepening of self-examination and verification, more problems of untrue and irregular clinical trial data of drugs have been exposed. At present, over 80% of new drug applications have been withdrawn by pharmaceutical companies or rejected by the State Food and Drug Administration.

  A staff member of the food and drug department said that during the verification, it was found that the clinical trial data of many drugs were incomplete, the analysis data had no differential trajectory, and some data could not be traced back. Other companies deliberately concealed or omitted the adverse reaction records, and revised the test data that failed to meet expectations.

  "Before this round of self-examination and verification storm, clinical data fraud was an open secret in the industry." The dean of a top-three hospital in the west said that pharmaceutical companies randomly combined old drugs and found several hospitals to do clinical experiments. Of course, they all reported according to the expected results. Finally, the State Food and Drug Administration approved the new drugs. "How can this stew-style drug research and development model ensure the quality and safety of drugs?"

  "The direct consequence of clinical data fraud is poor efficacy." A person in charge of research and development of a pharmaceutical company in Nanjing said that in a clinical trial, the company replaced the domestic anti-diabetic drug metformin taken by the subjects with the original drug Gehuazhi. Unexpectedly, after taking it for four weeks, the blood sugar of the subjects actually dropped to the level that they could not be enrolled in the group. Previously, the subjects had been taking domestic metformin, but their blood sugar could not be lowered.

  According to insiders, most domestic generic drugs can’t meet the original research standards. In order to pass the evaluation, it is very common to conceal the discarded data and selectively use the data in clinical experiments. In this regard, the state launched the consistency evaluation of generic drugs’ quality and efficacy this year, requiring all generic drugs approved for marketing before October 1, 2007 to complete the consistency evaluation before the end of 2018, among which clinical effectiveness tests and varieties with special circumstances need to be carried out, and consistency evaluation should be completed before the end of 2021; If it is not completed within the time limit, it will not be registered again.

  Yu Dechao, Chairman of Cinda Bio-Pharmaceutical, predicted that with the consistent evaluation of generic drugs’ quality and efficacy, more than 50% of the existing generic drugs will be eliminated, and the phenomenon of "bad money driving out good money" in the pharmaceutical field is expected to be initially reversed.

  Absence of intermediary supervision encourages clinical fraud

  In 1998, the relevant departments of the state promulgated the "Management Standard for Drug Clinical Trials (Trial)" (GCP for short), which was revised and implemented in 2003. The reporter’s investigation found that the binding force in the implementation of GCP is not strong, and the violations of relevant subjects such as pharmaceutical companies, intermediaries and doctors are prominent.

  Driven by interests, some pharmaceutical companies have launched generic drugs, and the important and necessary link of clinical trials has been "ignored". The person in charge of a large pharmaceutical company in Jiangsu said that he had participated in the research and development of new drugs in a pharmaceutical company, in fact, he copied the newly developed innovative pharmaceutical materials from abroad. This pharmaceutical company spent a week preparing materials, and did not conduct clinical trials for six months at all. It even got the approval of "exclusive innovative drugs" very quickly. As a result, the effect of five domestic generic drugs is not obvious, but one foreign original drug is effective but can’t get in, which is a typical phenomenon of "bad money driving out good money".

  The absence of supervision by CRO encourages the falsification of clinical data. A person in charge of a CRO revealed that CRO should be a third-party inspection agency, which plays a role in quality control of drug research and development, clinical application and approval. However, due to the lack of transfer threshold of domestic CROs and vicious competition of a large number of unscrupulous enterprises, many CROs have become accomplices in data fraud driven by interests. "Some pharmaceutical companies know that CRO is fraudulent, but considering that CRO shares the illegal costs and risks, they often turn a blind eye. What’s more, some pharmaceutical companies made it clear that if the test fails to pass the acceptance, it will not pay, forcing CRO to make fraud. "

  A law enforcement officer of the food and drug supervision department said that during the inspection, it was found that the main body of clinical trials should be doctors, but some CROs hired a large number of assistant researchers instead of doctors to do clinical observation, data statistics and quality verification, which was an important reason for the irregular and untrue data.

  Clinicians’ professional ethics is out of order, which opens the door for data fraud. The chief physician of a third-class hospital in Guangdong said that he had participated in the third-phase clinical trial of an obstetric drug under the leadership of another hospital. "The actual operation is not strict." Many records that are beneficial to the marketing of this drug have been saved, and adverse clinical cases or experimental data have been erased. Especially compared with similar drugs, the fraud situation is more prominent. "Doctors are very busy, clinical trials will not be done seriously, and there is no time to make such rigorous records. Many of them are done by CRO, and the authenticity is naturally greatly reduced."

  Clinical supervision has become a weak link in the drug supervision system. Some people in the industry believe that drug regulatory authorities at all levels are generally short of regulatory talents and technical teams with clinical background, and long-term emphasis on system certification and neglect of clinical project process supervision, especially the safety and effectiveness evaluation of post-marketing drug clinical trials, and supervision is almost blank. A staff member of Jiangsu drug supervision system said that compared with GMP inspection team, there is a big gap in the ability of local clinical verification GCP team, and the personnel and technology can not keep up with the current requirements.

  Beware of negative arguments weakening supervision.

  The reporter’s investigation found that over the past year, the self-inspection and verification of drug clinical trial data has achieved remarkable results, initially curbing the situation of large-scale data fraud, and some pharmaceutical companies feel unprecedented pressure.

  "In the past, there was almost no clinical supervision. Now we suddenly asked for self-examination and verification, which caught us off guard." A person in charge of a pharmaceutical company in Inner Mongolia complained that the storm of verification of clinical trial data was "a matter of punishing the Qing Dynasty with the laws of the Republic of China". The state’s policies can’t be changed constantly, and we can’t take the "opinions" and "regulations" issued today to consider what we did before.

  The person in charge questioned why so many CRO companies were approved. Why did the test data provided by CRO company pass the review before? Why are clinical trial institutions approved by administrative departments not conducting regular trials? Why should the applicant bear most of the responsibility for a series of mistakes made by the regulatory authorities? "These problems need to be paid attention to by relevant management departments and explained reasonably."

  Some people in the industry believe that there are two negative arguments to be vigilant against this unprecedented storm of clinical supervision. First, the introduction of policies should conform to China’s national conditions, and the requirements for innovation at this stage should not be too advanced; Second, the policy cannot be uniform, and some clinical data are just not standardized, not fraudulent, and should be allowed to exist.

  Yu Dechao said that at present, it is a critical period to control "bad money drives out good money" in the field of drugs, and real innovation must be encouraged with the strictest system. Once the clinical fraud is spared, the result must be "a small gap becomes a big hole." "If a pharmaceutical company is allowed to falsify, then other pharmaceutical companies will follow suit. Therefore, we must adhere to zero tolerance and not relax about clinical fraud. "

  In fact, compared with the United States, China’s drug supervision still needs to be strengthened. The State Food and Drug Administration has made it clear that if the clinical research data are fraudulent, the applicant’s new application for drug registration will not be accepted within three years, and the clinical trial data of the person directly responsible for participating in the research or organizing the research will not be accepted within ten years.

  Dr Liao Guojuan, CEO of Suzhou Jinweizhi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. said that in the United States, once data fraud occurs, pharmaceutical companies and R&D personnel will be blacklisted and will not be allowed to enter related fields for life.

  Insiders suggest that the country should actively integrate domestic pharmaceutical companies with the international market, establish an internal supervision system for pharmaceutical companies, and truly form core competitiveness through innovation in order to occupy a place in international competition.

One vaccine prevents 12 cancers? Stop joking!

  A "sky-high" vaccine that can prevent 12 kinds of cancers is said to be quietly popular among wealthy people.

  Some media reported a few days ago that Hong Kong MDX Medical Group released the "DCV Cancer Vaccine", which can prevent more than 12 kinds of cancers, including prostate cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer, with an injection of 98,000 yuan.

  And such a good thing? The reporter of Science and Technology Daily immediately connected Zhi Xiuyi, the director of science popularization propaganda department of China Anti-Cancer Association and Professor xuanwu hospital of Capital Medical University, to hear what he said.

  Is it pseudoscience? Try these three "magic mirrors"

  "What cancer can be cured? Judging from this advertisement, it can basically be judged to be pseudoscience. " Zhi Xiuyi told the Science and Technology Daily reporter that, if nothing else, as far as lung cancer is concerned, there are small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer; Non-small cell lung cancer includes squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, squamous adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma; Some cancers are derived from epithelial cells, while others are derived from mesothelial cells … … It is impossible to prevent only one kind of lung cancer, let alone prevent 12 kinds of cancers together.

  This characteristic of malignant tumor is called "heterogeneity" in academic circles, which can be roughly understood as that even if it is classified as the same tumor, it may be completely different. Some academic articles show that there are two kinds of heterogeneity: one is that the gene mutation of tumor cells of the same patient is different at different stages of tumor occurrence; The other is that different patients have the same tumor, but that "same" is not necessarily the same, just the same phenotype does not mean that the genotype is the same.

  Zhang Xuemin, an academician of China Academy of Sciences, used a very vivid analogy to explain "heterogeneity" at an academic seminar. He said: The genome in the human body is like taking a disk and dropping it underground. No fragments are the same twice, and no two tumor patients have the same mutation. The human body has 3 billion base pairs, and it may not develop tumors if it is changed by tens of millions. The main problem in treating tumors is to find out which one is the driver mutation, so that targeted therapy can be possible. At present, scientists are using big data to find the most critical driving mutation genes (which can be understood as core components). According to clinical data and proportion, thousands of tumor driving genes have been found.

  It can be seen that it is impossible to control the broad-spectrum WT1 gene only as mentioned in the product description of "DCV cancer vaccine" (assuming that the injected substance can control the gene first), and the so-called "universal gene" is totally false.

  Therefore, "omnipotent, cure all diseases" is the first "mirror", especially for malignant tumors with complex mechanism, it is even more impossible to "take one enemy and ten".

  "This kind of pseudoscience has another feature, and there are no specific research institutions and research events. If it is a real thing, there should be specific scientific research projects and scientific research results data, and the results should be displayed at international or domestic cancer conferences. " Zhi Xiuyi explained, "If it is clearly said that it is the work of a research institute or scientific research team of a certain university in the United States and a series of experimental studies have been carried out, then other teams of scientists should be able to verify this research, or introduce their research results and data at the ASCO meeting of the global cancer conference or the CSCO meeting of the domestic cancer conference."

  However, the "DCV Cancer Vaccine" released by Hong Kong MDX Medical Group did not disclose any clinical trial data, how related clinical verification was promoted, the effect of the third phase of clinical research, whether relevant papers were published in academic journals, and which scientists and research teams participated in the research work. To put it bluntly, this achievement is like being produced out of thin air and cannot be traced back.

  "Out of thin air, untraceable" is the second mirror, while "commercial manipulation and speculation for profit" is the third mirror.

  "Although the production of a fake news is out of thin air, it must be driven by huge economic interests." Zhi Xiuyi said that the research and development and innovation of new anti-tumor drugs need a lot of money, especially in the clinical verification stage, which requires hundreds of millions of funds.

  At this time, the methods of speculating the concept, raising the stock price, and financing have become a brilliant move for many capital players, and fake news has also become one of the springboard for them to "play" the capital market. As long as the sales performance and followers take the lead, this wave of operation may attract investment and become the so-called "model" of commercial manipulation. As some media have analyzed, its commercial essence is "cutting leeks".

  Don’t let pseudoscience "fry" the tumor vaccine

  This is a lie rumor about tumor vaccine, but "tumor vaccine" is a real new biotechnology in recent years.

  People are familiar with: cervical cancer vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine and so on.

  "In principle, the principle of preventive tumor vaccine is to prevent microbial infection from inducing tumors. For example, cervical cancer vaccine is to prevent polyoma virus; Hepatitis B vaccine is to prevent liver cancer; Prevent EB virus and nasopharyngeal carcinoma; Prevent Helicobacter pylori and prevent gastric cancer. " Li Zhongming, editor-in-chief of Contemporary New Vaccine (first edition), who once worked as a censor in the FDA of the United States, explained to the reporter of Science and Technology Daily: At present, preventive tumor vaccines must be related to microorganisms, and only therapeutic vaccines are targeted at tumors.

  Focus! Tumor vaccine is divided into preventive and therapeutic, and injected into healthy people and tumor patients respectively.

  Preventive tumor vaccine is only aimed at tumors caused by viruses and other microorganisms. Because it can clarify the formation mechanism of tumors, it can prevent them, and many vaccines have been put on the market.

  Therapeutic tumor vaccine: At present, a tumor vaccine for prostate cancer has been marketed in the United States, and several therapeutic products are in the clinical trial stage.

  Since therapeutic tumor vaccine is aimed at tumor patients and is therapeutic, why is it also called vaccine?

  Li Hangwen, founder and CEO of Microorganism, a leading domestic tumor vaccine company, explained to the reporter of Science and Technology Daily that "tumor vaccine is actually a kind of immunotherapy. For example, we use mRNA to express tumor antigen. Tumor antigen is like a marker (wearing a red hat), which will remind and mobilize the police (immune system) to catch thieves, and the person wearing a red hat is a thief. Therefore, the immune system can find the thief according to the red hat and then attack the tumor. "

  Because the principle that "portrait" makes the immune system know about tumor is consistent with the principle of vaccine, this immunotherapy method is also called "tumor vaccine".

  "This is different from the way in which chemical drugs and antibody drugs introduce foreign aid. Tumor vaccines completely rely on the immune response generated by the human body to eliminate tumors. " Li Hangwen said that once immunotherapy is effective, it will generally not produce drug resistance, and the immune system will "intelligently follow up" until the tumor is beaten. Moreover, immunotherapy will produce immune memory, and when the human body encounters the same pathogen attack again, it will quickly produce immune response and eliminate the pathogen. With traditional methods, it is easy to produce drug resistance, and the tumor will "wander". If it recurs, it may be more dangerous.

Is dizziness related to the ear? Be careful when these symptoms appear!

  When hanging clothes, I suddenly looked up and my head turned dizzy. Is it "bad cervical spine"? Turn over in bed and feel dizzy for a few seconds. Is it "poor sleep"? Bend down to tie your shoelaces, and suddenly feel dizzy. Is it the change of body position that causes "unstable blood pressure"? When you work at your desk, your brain is "black screen" for a moment. Is it insufficient blood supply to your brain? These "dizzy moments" in life have added a lot of troubles to people.

  In fact, it is probably related to the ear!

  Chief physician Zeng Xiangli, vice chairman of China Branch of International Association of Otologists and director of Otolaryngology Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, reminded people who often have transient dizziness to be careful of "otolith". For patients with recurrent otolith and stubborn otolith accompanied by symptoms of Meniere’s disease, such as deafness, tinnitus and swelling in the ear, we should also be alert to the possibility of hearing loss or even deafness.

  Deciphering "Otolithiasis": Pay attention to these dangerous signals

  What is otolith? Zeng Xiangli pointed out that it is actually the common name of "benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)", which is a temporary vertigo caused by the falling off of the "otolith" located in the inner ear, so it is called "otolith".

  The biggest feature of this disease is that vertigo attacks are related to changes in head position, and symptoms can appear or worsen with changes in body position. Outpatients often encounter some "otolith" patients. At the initial onset, they mistakenly thought that the causes were cervical spondylosis, poor sleep quality, unstable blood pressure, etc. After turning to several specialties and poor treatment results, they learned that there were "otolith" behind these dangerous signals, and finally went to the otology clinic for help.

  Attending physician Yin Gendi, a young member of the Vertigo Rehabilitation Committee of the Chinese Rehabilitation Medical Association, pointed out that the main clinical manifestations of "otolith" are that when the head position or posture is changed (lying down, turning over in bed, lowering the head or raising the head), recurrent and short-lived vertigo may occur, lasting for several seconds to about 1 minute, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and sweating. "Otolithiasis" is often asymptomatic during the intermission, and some patients may have dizziness, fatigue, top-heavy and floating feeling after the vertigo attack.

  Zeng Xiangli pointed out that "otolith" is a carbonate crystal of the inner ear and belongs to the normal structure of the inner ear. Under normal circumstances, "otolith" is attached to the otolith membrane of the oval sac. When some pathogenic factors cause the "otolith" to detach, these detached "otoliths" move into the semicircular canal, dragging the flow of lymph in the semicircular canal, stimulating the hair cells of the semicircular canal, and causing dizziness.

  A variety of diseases

  Associated with "otolith"

  The occurrence of otolith is related to many factors. It is often secondary to systemic basic diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes and other adverse factors can cause blood supply disorders in the inner ear and peripheral neuropathy. The otolith membrane on the cyst spot of the oval capsule becomes thinner due to malnutrition, and the otolith located on the otolith membrane falls off and deposits in the semicircular canal due to "unstable foundation".

  osteoporosis

  Yin Gendi pointed out that the incidence of osteoporosis among middle-aged and elderly women with otolith in foreign countries is as high as 75%, while the normal control group is only 4%. This shows that osteoporosis may be inextricably linked with the occurrence of otolith, and its pathogenic mechanism needs further study.

  Head trauma or ear surgery

  Stop immediately after the head is hit by an external force or the head accelerates, such as whiplash-like injury can cause this disease; Some middle ear and inner ear operations, such as stapes operation, can cause this disease because of local pressure or otolith falling off after the stapes foot plate is inserted into the vestibular window.

  Other ear diseases

  "I am not only dizzy, but also have tinnitus and hearing problems. Before, a doctor said that I had Meniere’s disease, and now I have been diagnosed with otolith. What kind of disease do I have?" This is a question often asked in vertigo clinics. Such a disease course and experience of diagnosis and treatment have really troubled many people.

  The reason is that "otolith" can be secondary to the following kinds of otological diseases, in order of incidence: sudden deafness with vertigo, Meniere’s disease, vestibular neuritis, viral labyrinthitis, middle ear mastoid infectious diseases, external lymphatic fistula and other diseases, all of which are easy to cause otolith particles to fall off and agglutinate and induce this disease.

  The otolith secondary to Meniere’s disease has the characteristics of Meniere’s disease and otolith at the same time, with a high recurrence rate and a relatively long course of treatment.

  Manual reduction therapy

  The effective rate can be as high as 890%

  Generally speaking, the treatment effect of otolith is very good, and the first choice of manual reduction, supplemented by drug treatment, often has immediate results — — This is the reason why it is called "benign" and is legendary as "easy to govern". However, about 1% to 20% of patients have recurrent vertigo, especially those secondary to diabetes, Meniere’s disease and female menopause. Zeng Xiangli pointed out that for these stubborn "otolith" patients, the cause is more complicated.

  Some people are "otoliths" and fall off too much at one time. For example, "otolith" caused by trauma is easy to be repeated. It is often due to severe trauma that otolith falls off too much and is widely dispersed in the semicircular canal. It is difficult to reset otolith and excessive otolith is not easy to absorb, so the disease is prolonged.

  Some people are "otoliths" that keep falling off. The failure to improve the microcirculation of the inner ear is also the cause of repeated diseases. The otolith has insufficient blood supply and malnutrition, which leads to the "unstable foundation" and the otolith repeatedly falls off into the semicircular canal, which can eventually lead to the recurrence of otolith.

  There are still some people who have "otolith" and the residual symptoms persist. About 10% patients continue to feel dizzy and weak, top-heavy and floating after reduction. The reason for the persistence of this residual symptom may be related to the existence of trace otolith particles in the semicircular canal, the dysfunction of elliptical capsule and the mental and psychological disorders caused by long-term dizziness.

  Zeng Xiangli said that most of the "otoliths" have good treatment effects, and the effective rate of manual reduction treatment can be as high as 79.4%-92.7%, but there are still 12.8%-15.3% patients who need two or more reductions. If the symptoms are relieved after the first manual reduction treatment, but there are still dizziness, instability, dizziness and heaviness, you need to go back for a week to judge the treatment effect, and consider re-reduction treatment, supplemented by vestibular rehabilitation training.

  Vestibular rehabilitation training is a physical training method, which can improve patients’ vestibular function and reduce the sequelae caused by vestibular injury through central adaptation and compensation mechanism. Vestibular rehabilitation training can be used as an auxiliary treatment for otolith reduction in patients with BPPV, and it can be used for patients with poor reduction effect and dizziness or balance disorder after reduction.

It’s a young man’s favorite Willanda. Its appearance is combative.

What I brought today is a very distinctive model in the joint venture car. Next, let’s see if its highlights can attract you with Xiaobian.

Let’s look at the appearance of Willanda first. The front face of Willanda looks clean, and the air intake grille adopts a multi-frame shape, which looks very sporty. The headlights are very comfortable and the design takes the sports route. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, front fog lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light and so on. Coming to the side of the car body, the size of the car body is 4665MM*1855MM*1680MM, and the car adopts lovely lines, which gives people a very delicate feeling. With large-sized thick-walled tires, the shape is quite atmospheric. In the rear design, the overall shape of the rear of Willanda echoes the front of the car, and the taillights look very cold and elegant.

Sitting in the car, the interior design of Willanda looks more eye-catching and the visual effect is very good. The car looks very good outside the steering wheel, and it is equipped with the functions of manual steering wheel up and down+front and rear adjustment, and the grip performance is good. From the central control point of view, with the 10.25-inch central control screen, the interior design is quite layered and looks very stable. The interior feels good. Let’s take a look at the dashboard and seats. The information can be read easily and clearly. The car adopts leather/imitation leather mixed seats, equipped with functions such as electric adjustment of auxiliary seats, electric adjustment of seats, and tilting of seats, which has good support and comfort.

The car is equipped with car networking, driving mode selection, remote control key, rear wiper, interior atmosphere light and other configurations, and the configuration performance is relatively good, which improves the convenience of drivers to some extent.

OK! Next, let’s sum up. The moderate size of the car is a very suitable choice for many families, and the internal space is enough for daily use in families.

Jolin Tsai in the eyes of brokers: "masochistic" perfectionists


    On September 28, 2006, the ever-changing diva Cai Yilin endorsed a certain body wash in Shanghai. During the press conference, the company gave Cai Yilin a super luxury bathtub as a gift. China News Agency hair, winter bush summer grass, photo


    The unknown inside story of a star is always protected layer after layer. "I Love Big Stars" "bribed" several "big inner experts" who were close to the star. During the conversation with them, they unexpectedly discovered embarrassing things and sad tears outside the camera of the stars – for example, Jolin Tsai in the eyes of the agent is a "masochist" who is super strict with himself.


  A girl with a good personality, strong and serious


  How did it feel to see Jolin Tsai for the first time?


  Lulu: I saw her for the first time five years ago, and the first thing I said to her when we met, "Actually, I didn’t like you before, because I thought you were very pretentious!" At that time, Jolin Cai’s eyes were wide open and startled, wondering why someone wanted to be my agent and said they didn’t like me… When I first met her, I thought she was very shy, because sometimes when I told her about announcements or things, I only saw her eyes open wide, and she didn’t respond at all. I didn’t know if she understood or didn’t listen at all! Later, I found out that she was really shy and simple, and she was not good at expressing her feelings, so her eyes were wide open!


  How do you feel after you actually get along?


  Lulu: After getting along with her, I felt that she was a very serious little girl, and that seriousness would scare you! I still remember when I first took her, she was still studying at the junior college, and once she wanted to take a flat photo. As a result, when the photographer was adjusting the lights and changing the set, she ran to the side and lay on the ground to take notes. I asked her what she was serious about. She said that she didn’t want to be passed because of the midterm exam tomorrow! At that time, I thought this little girl was really strong and serious! What kind of person do you think Jolin Cai is?


  Lulu: She is a person who is very strict with herself in everything, she is really a standard Virgo! She requires perfection in things, does not allow herself to make mistakes at all, and she is very slow… not ordinary slow, but super slow! It is difficult for her to get along with unfamiliar staff, so at first some advertising companies thought that she was in a bad mood or something, but in fact she just didn’t know how to deal with others, but now she has really changed a lot, but now she is not slow at all!


  Work is very strict with yourself


  What is the most fun thing about Jolin Tsai?


  Lulu: I’m sure everyone has heard of her sugar-free and oil-free ultra-low-calorie diet. Once out of town, she wanted to drink a sugar-free drink, but because I wasn’t familiar with it, she went to the local store to buy a bottle of drink. As a result, she opened it and sniffed it, saying it had sugar! I want to say how is it possible, because I have told my boss to be sugar-free, but I took a sip by myself, huh, really!


  Another time I went to buy her coffee, but I told the clerk that I wanted low-heat skim milk, but she took a sip and said it was low-fat, I thought how could it be? I ran back and asked the clerk, but the clerk said that he was embarrassed because the skim was gone, so he secretly used low-fat. Do you think she is strong? And you can’t have a drop of oil in hot vegetables, because the oil will reflect light, so you can’t escape her eyes!


  What is the most admirable thing about it?


  Lulu: It’s a pervert masochism! Her work attitude is really impeccable and she is very strict with herself. Sometimes I can’t help but tell her if she wants to take a break. Do you think you are an iron man? However, if she can’t even pass her own level, we can only support her silently and cheer her up! And I also admire her dedicated attitude. She almost accepts everything the company asks her to do. Unless she really feels that she has no physical strength and needs to rest, she will fully cooperate! So, I think she deserves today’s results. We are all very happy for her. As for whether she is also very demanding of the staff around her… Actually not, because she is too busy staring at herself and has no time to pay attention to others, hehe!


  An embarrassing thing "silly big sister"


  The sweetest thing Jolin Tsai has ever done to you?


  Lulu: One year, the company gave her a short vacation to Japan to rest, so I accompanied her to go shopping in Tokyo. When she went to a store, she saw a pair of boots that cost more than 10,000 Taiwan dollars. They were very beautiful, but she thought they were a little expensive and couldn’t bear to buy them… Then when she went to the next store, she saw a nice but big bag and asked me if it looked good. I said the bag was beautiful, but it didn’t suit you. How could you fit such a big bag? She said I would carry it when I went to the beach… Then I said that the bag was more than 20,000 yuan, but she still insisted on buying it. As a result, I waited for her outside, and she came out after buying the order and handed me the bag and said "Happy Birthday" to me…


  Please tell me one or two embarrassing things about Jolin Tsai. Lulu: I remember one embarrassing thing about her. When she first got her driver’s license, she once drove on the highway and ended up at the toll booth. She drove to the lane where the ticket was collected, but she didn’t get the ticket stub. The wonderful thing is, you know how she reacted at that time? She actually opened the door and got off the car with the ticket stub behind her! It’s really funny when it’s funny! Silly sister! Another time I took an advertisement in the mainland, the manufacturer kindly put a dog doll in the lounge. As soon as she walked in, she shouted that the toy "bear" was so cute! Because the customer manufacturers were still there, no one dared to tell her, Miss Cai, did you not see it? It was clearly a dog… After waiting for the manufacturer to leave for about ten minutes, she said, "Hey, it seems to be a dog, not a bear!" At this time, everyone laughed out loud, and she really felt embarrassed!

After the original Di Lizheba fell into a storm of humiliation in China, it was exposed that he and Yang Yang combined to record a variety show to save word-of-mouth. Netizen: Ban it

Di Lizheba started the year in 2023 with a bad start, being questioned about being pregnant and having children abroad, and even being deeply involved in the humiliation of China on the hot search. The popularity overshadowed the popular drama "Hurricane" and became the focus of discussion on the whole network. It also made Reba deeply involved in public opinion and doubts, and the impact of word-of-mouth image was huge.

On February 2, Di Lizheba became the Dior brand ambassador. Originally, it was a good thing for a star to go international. Whether it was fashion resources or coffee positions, it has been greatly improved, bringing a lot of benefits to Di Lizheba, but she did not expect it to backfire. The netizens found that the people of the brand were not very friendly, which also made Reba fall into a storm of humiliation.

Many people began to question Reba, thinking that she had forgotten the dignity and self-confidence that belonged to the Chinese people. She was boycotted and became the focus of complaining, which also made her deeply involved in public opinion and caused group ridicule. For a time, Di Lizheba became the object of controversy and caused a lot of uproar.

Just as the whole network was discussing, a very interesting thing happened. Another piece of news was exposed on the Internet, which seemed to want to take away everyone’s attention and divert attention from Reba’s insult to China. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or the result of the rapid public relations of the Reba team, which caused netizens to watch and discuss.

A gossip blogger revealed that Di Lizheba and Yang Yang would combine to record a new variety show, "Let’s Go Now". The first was to save his reputation and image, divert everyone’s attention, and no longer immerse themselves in the scandal of humiliating China. Judging from the news, Di Lizheba and Yang Yang would appear in a variety show at the same time, and both of them would definitely bring more traffic and popularity.

Previously, the two had also collaborated on the hit drama "You Are My Glory", in which they frequently showed affection and affection, which was deeply sought after and hotly discussed by fans, calling them "Glory" couple. Even after the ending of the work, they were still talked about with relish, thinking that the two were a perfect match, and calling for them to be together.

This time, if Reba and Yang Yang really appeared in the same variety show, it would undoubtedly be Wang Fried, which easily brought hot topics and audience ratings. Moreover, the variety show featured "Wonderful Country Life", and the guests went on four trips of 6 days and 5 nights, which made Reba and Yang Yang fit together, and I felt that the travel images came to mind.

Judging from the latest situation of "Let’s Go Now", the variety show has released silhouettes of Shen Teng and the two guests, which seems to want to warm up in advance, but also leaves suspense. It does not reveal who the two guests are, which can make everyone guess and cause discussion.

From the silhouette, it seemed to be Yang Yang and Di Lizheba. In addition, last year, the two had already served as the video spokespeople of the Goose Factory, and the variety show was also launched by the Goose Factory. At present, Di Lizheba is in a gap period and has not entered the group to shoot new dramas. There are only two upcoming dramas, so he has enough time and energy.

Therefore, no matter from which perspective, the possibility of Di Lizheba and Yang Yang combining to record a variety show is very high, allowing the audience to relive the sweetness and tacit understanding of the Glory couple. I believe that the two of them will definitely have different sparks, which will bring many surprises and surprises. Maybe they can really make the audience wish?

After all, in the current entertainment industry, hype has been perfected, and making good use of the traffic between celebrities can explode great potential, especially the celebrities who are deeply sought after by the audience, are very willing to buy it. For Di Reba and Yang Yang, there are successful examples, and they have also tasted sweetness.

However, some netizens didn’t buy it, thinking that this was going to continue to stir CP for two more years? Or ban it, don’t leave any room for such a star. Some also expressed that they did not agree with the official announcement and did not believe the online revelations.

Indeed, so far, there was no official announcement, and it was only at the stage of breaking the news. It was still unknown whether Yang Yang and Di Lizheba could really fit together. But in any case, they all hoped that as public figures, they should cherish their wings and not sacrifice years of hard work for money and be ashamed of their fans.

Responsible editor:

[See you at 8 o’clock] A lot of information! These hot issues, the National People’s Congress press conference responded to

  At 8 o’clock, witness the news every day. CCTV will sort out the big and small things that happened around us within 24 hours for you.

  [Follow]

  The amount of information is huge! These hot issues, the National People’s Congress press conference responded to

  On March 4, the Second Session of the 13th National People’s Congress held a press conference. Spokesperson Zhang Yesui responded to these hot topics in the face of questions from Chinese and foreign reporters.

  How to deal with the increasingly tough US policy towards China?

  It should be noted that the interests of China and the United States have been deeply intertwined. I believe that a conflicting and confrontational Sino-US relationship is not in the interests of either side. In addition, there is no way to deal with new problems in the context of globalization with the old thinking of the Cold War.

  I believe that the essence of China-US economic and trade relations is mutually beneficial and win-win. Therefore, we hope that the two sides will continue to step up consultations and reach a mutually beneficial and win-win agreement.

  What are the reasons for formulating the Foreign Investment Law?

  The formulation of the Foreign Investment Law is to innovate the legal system for foreign investment, replace the "Three Laws of Foreign Investment" (the Law on Sino-Foreign Joint Ventures, the Law on Foreign-funded Enterprises, and the Law on Sino-Foreign Cooperative Enterprises), and become the basic law for the utilization of foreign capital in our country in the new era.

  ● The "Belt and Road Initiative" has put some countries in a "debt trap"?

  The "Belt and Road Initiative" adheres to the principle of extensive consultation, joint construction and sharing, and also adheres to the market-oriented operation model.

  Whether it is project selection or investment and financing cooperation, all decisions are made jointly by the participating parties.

  China attaches great importance to the issue of debt sustainability and will not impose it on others in project cooperation, let alone create any traps.

  Will China’s rising defense spending pose a threat to other countries?

  China has always adhered to the path of peaceful development and pursued a national defense policy that is defensive in nature. China’s limited defense expenditure is solely for the purpose of safeguarding national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and will not pose a threat to other countries.

  Will the Personal Information Protection Law be submitted for review this year?

  The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress has included the formulation of a personal information protection law in this legislative plan, and relevant departments are working hard to study and draft it, with a view to its early enactment.

  Important progress has been made in the case of Canadian national Michael Kovrig’s suspected crime
