Inventory of the most suitable countries for studying abroad

Students, do you also want to know the most suitable country inventory for studying abroad, and the analysis and answer to this question? I believe that you will have a deeper understanding through the following articles, so I won’t say much, so let’s take a look with China Education Online Xiaobian.

Inventory of the most suitable countries for studying abroad

Recommended by countries suitable for studying abroad

1, Germany (Germany)

Advantages: Science and engineering education ranks among the top in the world, the cost of studying abroad is low, and it is easier to obtain a work visa.

Disadvantages: Language learning is more difficult.

Who can crush the traditional study abroad powers in the minds of China students such as Britain, America and Australia, and rank first in this list? Yes, it is Germany. In recent years, the position of German students studying abroad in China has been continuously improved, and it has become the first hot spot for studying abroad after the college entrance examination for the following reasons:

1. The cost of studying abroad is low. Many universities in Germany (except some states have different policies) implement the policy of tuition-free, which is a great boon for many families who are cash-strapped but have dreams of studying abroad. They only need to pay the registration fee of 500-600 euros a year, and the cost of living is not too high, about 800-1,000 euros a month, and they also support international students to work outside the school legally. This economic temptation is for many families of international students.

2. Science and engineering education ranks in the forefront of the world, and Germany has always been the most famous industrial country in the world. Therefore, the education quality of science and engineering-related majors in Germany is unparalleled. Some majors can even have the ability to wrestle with MIT and Imperial College London in the United Kingdom, which shows the strength of German science and engineering, such as Munich University and Heidelberg University, which are world-famous institutions of higher learning in science and engineering. The combination of history and modernity gives German science and engineering majors more advantages in studying abroad.

3. After graduation, the employment prospects are considerable. After graduation, German students will be given a year to find a job that suits them. This year’s visa will be provided by the German government. If you successfully find a job in a German company and are hired, your next work visa will be handled by your company. If you have worked for a certain number of years and performed well, you will have a great chance to obtain the qualification of immigration, which is also a very attractive condition.

2. Australia (Australia)

Advantages: excellent springboard for studying abroad and excellent immigration prospects.

Disadvantages: the quality of undergraduate education is relatively low, and the prospect of immigration is greatly limited by majors.

In view of the increasing employment pressure of China students, Australia has launched vocational education programs such as TAFE in due course. Australia belongs to the Commonwealth countries, and its international student policy is relatively flexible. The export of education industry is the national policy, which attracts a large number of international students from China. At the same time, Australia’s multicultural and immigration policies provide good employment opportunities for more students studying in Australia. For students who have just finished their high school studies, it is not necessary to have a high language foundation to apply for studying in Australia. Most of the students who graduated from high schools in China need to study for one year to enter professional courses. You can also finish your freshman application in China and enroll in February and July every year. Students can apply for admission in February after the college entrance examination, and prepare themselves for the IELTS test time, which is also sufficient in time preparation. However, the cost of studying abroad in Australia is relatively low, and it needs about 250,000 RMB a year, which needs to be measured before applying.

3. Spain

Advantages: the language advantage is huge, and the cost of studying abroad is low.

Disadvantages: Social instability is great, and the prospect of immigration is almost zero.

As a country with extremely unstable economy in the world, why can Spain be selected into our list of the most suitable destination countries for studying after the college entrance examination? First, as a destination country for studying abroad, Spain’s performance is actually excellent enough. In terms of language, although Spanish is a little more difficult to learn, it has already formed a huge employment area after learning. Second, as a destination country for studying abroad, the cost of studying in Spain is very attractive. The cost of studying in Spain seems to be high, with an average of about 10,000 to 12,000 euros a year, but the school’s efforts to give subsidies are not small at all, with an average of 6,000 to 7,000 euros a year, which can alleviate a large part of the economic pressure. Thirdly, the difficulty of studying abroad visa in Spain is relatively low. For many novice students studying abroad, it is less difficult to apply, and there is no need for proof of deposit, which saves a lot of trouble for students and parents, and basically saves a lot of time.

4, the United States (USA)

Advantages: the most popular destination country for studying abroad, suitable for international students in all situations.

Disadvantages: the over-signing rate of visas is low, and the cost of studying abroad is expensive.

The United States has long occupied the name of the world’s first destination country for studying abroad. For students who have completed the college entrance examination in China, the United States seems to be a very good choice. However, because different universities in the United States have different requirements for language scores and language requirements have not been low, the time left for students to prepare for the college entrance examination is not particularly sufficient, and the cost of studying in the United States has not been particularly cheap. It takes a long time to prepare proof of funds when applying for a study visa, which is not particularly suitable for children’s shoes who intend to study abroad after the college entrance examination.

5. Great Britain

Advantages: the oldest traditional study abroad country.

Disadvantages: the cost of studying abroad is quite high, which is not suitable for undergraduate education.

Although studying in Britain is famous for its excellent historical tradition and high-quality study abroad, and the visa policy has been relaxed in recent years, it can’t make up for the most deadly language and cost requirements for students who have just completed the college entrance examination. The famous universities in Britain have high language requirements. It is difficult for students with good foundation to complete their applications within half a year after the summer vacation, and Britain is more suitable for graduate students to study abroad, which is not particularly suitable for undergraduates to study abroad.

6. Canada (Canada)

Advantages: excellent springboard for studying abroad, pure North American education.

Disadvantages: the quality of institutions is uneven, so it is difficult to choose the institutions that suit you.

Canada, adjacent to the United States, has always been a very traditional destination country for studying abroad. Compared with other major countries, the cost of studying in Canada is slightly cheaper. Moreover, the visa policy of the Canadian Embassy has remained relatively stable for many years, and its attractive immigration policy has attracted many China students to study in Canada. However, there are too many choices of overseas study institutions in Canada, so it will be somewhat difficult. It is suggested that students who apply for studying in Canada should make a rational analysis according to their own situation and choose the most suitable school.

7. Singapore

Advantages: Excellent education quality and considerable employment prospects.

Disadvantages: the cost of studying abroad is high, and the probability of immigration is almost zero.

Singapore has always been the most powerful destination for studying abroad in Asia, ranking among the top countries in the world for a long time in terms of education quality, etc. However, the cost and language requirements for studying abroad in Singapore are a bit heavy for students who have just come out of the college entrance examination. Therefore, for students who have just finished the college entrance examination, Xiaozhan Xiaobian is not recommended as the first destination for studying abroad after the college entrance examination, and it is recommended to apply after a period of revision and re-preparation.

8. South Korea

Advantages: close culture and affordable.

Disadvantages: the language requirements are high, and the quality of education is relatively weak.

Studying in South Korea is more suitable for families with less financial ability to choose as the destination country for studying abroad. It is not unacceptable to spend a total of 70,000-80,000 yuan a year on studying abroad. However, the first thing you need to do when applying for universities in South Korea is the language barrier. If you can’t pass the language test, you need to take a language course for one year, which can be said to be a waste in the time cost and economic cost of studying abroad.

9. Japan (Japan)

Advantages: the culture is close, and the language difficulty is low.

Disadvantages: the preparation time for the language test is longer and the cost of studying abroad is higher.

Japan has always been a traditional destination country for foreign students from China. Because of the close culture, it is not difficult for foreign students from China to adapt. Moreover, compared with other countries with small languages, Japanese is relatively difficult to learn because there are many elements similar to Chinese. However, due to the constant change of exchange rate in recent years, the cost of studying in Japan has been in a huge fluctuation range. Moreover, political factors will also be one of the factors that restrict the overseas students from China. When China students apply for universities in Japan, most of them will choose to apply for major advantages in studying in Japan, such as design, animation, architecture and so on, which makes the competition among these majors extremely fierce. Therefore, it is also a good choice for China students to apply for some relatively unpopular majors.

10. New Zealand

Advantages: It is convenient for immigration and visa application.

Disadvantages: major limitations, lack of visibility.

New Zealand is an emerging destination for studying abroad in recent years. Although it once existed in China as an unknown destination for studying abroad, in recent years, due to the relatively open immigration policy of New Zealand, New Zealand has become a huge hot spot in the range of destination for studying abroad. The quality of universities in New Zealand has steadily increased in recent years, and the application for study visas in New Zealand is relatively simple, and applicants do not need to provide language scores. Therefore, this is a very huge advantage for friends who want to apply for studying in New Zealand.

Advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad

benefit

1. The academic environment abroad is very good.

What I am talking about here is not academic ability, but academic atmosphere. Before I came out, my tutor told me: "Chinese wants to learn from the United States when doing academics, and the academic atmosphere has become a business, but the ability to do academics is not as good as that of the United States; So I just learned the superficial things of American academics. Doing academics in Europe is more like doing art and carving it carefully. " Of course, this generalization is a bit too general, but it is also very correct. I don’t know the academic situation in the United States, so I don’t comment; However, learning in China is like doing business, while learning in Europe is like doing art, which I have experienced personally. I spent a year here at Max Planck Institute in Germany, and I worked with Norbert on gravity. It was really slow, but I enjoy it. I learned a lot and did a lot of calculations. If you follow the practice of doing business in China, it is estimated that there will be about five articles. But according to the practice here, it can only be regarded as a small work of art with average quality at most. On the other hand, such a scientific research environment and years of discussions with tutors really make people enjoy themselves and realize the great pleasure of doing scientific research. Moreover, what can stay in the academic world can’t be "products" in business, but works of art. Therefore, people who only regard academics as their livelihood may feel depressed; Those who have academic ideals can really benefit a lot.

2. Good academic support.

The salary of PhD students in China is basically only enough to buy three meals a day. But here, both students’ salaries and students’ scientific research conditions are far superior to those in China. It’s refreshing to move from a crowded office in China to an elegant working environment here. Monthly salary balance, you can buy SLR, Apple products and so on, and it is possible to travel in European countries. By the way, there are many holidays here, Saturday and Sunday are doomed to rest, as well as various national holidays/regional holidays, etc. You can also apply for a holiday of about 40 days/year.

3. Studying abroad is a good platform to get in touch with the world.

Can let you know all kinds of cultures and opinions; Meet all kinds of international friends. Let people have a more comprehensive view of the world. There are more open information and resources, such as facebook and other good things that can be accessed without external network. This is a very important point. If you want to talk about the world outlook, how can you talk about it if you haven’t seen the world?

4. Studying abroad will help you learn to be independent.

You have to rent your own house and get your own food. Unlike in China, the public canteen guarantees your life. Therefore, during my study abroad, I was able to have more independence and more self-factors. Instead of the gesture of "everything goes to the party and everything follows the public" at home. This kind of life, looking back after graduation, can make people feel that life is still very personal.

5. In Germany, I can get more respect.

This respect is not from anyone, but from society. For example, in China, you can’t do this or that, you have to check when you enter the school, the subway has to be checked, and some leaders have to avoid it when they express their condolences to the school. What’s more, people feel scared and, in a sense, lose some self-dignity (what’s more, some people are so numb that they don’t think this is a loss of self-dignity! )。 But in Germany, I can feel the sense of security and respect for people in the whole society. This feeling is the basic guarantee that a person should enjoy. So I met many Chinese who settled abroad and didn’t want to return to China. This is basically their reason.

* I have met it several times. For example, Ke Qiang came to visit Peking University. At first, our students felt very friendly and good. But in the end, all kinds of "hooligans" wearing uniforms and armbands are arrogant and extremely fierce. It’s not that this door is not allowed to enter, that is to say, this road is not for you (just because Ke Qiang’s car will pass in an hour), or everyone’s bicycles are unsightly and want to "cover up" … Holy shit, this is not a condolence to Peking University, it’s just Eight-Nation Alliance going to Beijing. The key point is that everyone (including many Peking University students who claim to have the spirit of "freedom") thinks this is normal. What a distorted personality and sadness the nation is!

6. Others.

disadvantage

1, communication is not smooth enough, due to language reasons, cultural reasons and so on.

So you need to learn a lot of languages and cultures. Especially when dealing with society, such as finding a house and writing a contract. Moreover, the values are contrary to the domestic values. For example, an introverted person who doesn’t get into trouble and doesn’t associate with others will feel more obedient and kind; But here, they will think you are boring; They will want people who are more outgoing and can play together. This understanding of language and culture will be very good if it can be perfected before going abroad.

2, emotional problems, missing the motherland, hometown and lover, relatives and so on.

Long-term communication barriers can easily lead to emotional emptiness. I knew there were many couples who were separated because of this-in fact, I can understand how they feel. Therefore, if studying abroad leads to foreign love, you should be cautious, at least communicate well with each other. My suggestion is that it is best for one party to make some sacrifices, or not to study abroad, or to fly together. If you really want to fall in love with a foreign country, it is that both sides suffer and your heart is really strong.

3. Food problem.

For example, in Germany, I really can’t get used to their potatoes and sausages; So I cook my own meals every morning and evening, and I cook my own meals on weekends. It certainly takes time, but what can it do? If you can follow the crowd and have no bad preference like me, you will be much smoother than me.

4. Others.

In fact, the above points are all double-edged swords. For example, academic atmosphere, for some people, "artistic" academic atmosphere may be too angry, for some people, it may really benefit a lot and enjoy it very much, and learn a lot of real knowledge. Another example is self-care. For some people, it may be a good platform for learning independence and autonomy, while some people just want to keep him/her in the canteen for life. Therefore, the balance of these advantages and disadvantages should be carefully considered according to the actual situation of the individual. I just provide a reference here.

Conditions for studying abroad in America

1. What are the requirements for high school students to study in the United States?

In fact, there is only one necessary condition for high school students to study in the United States: to obtain a high school diploma. There are no other essential requirements. If you don’t have TOEFL scores or not enough TOEFL scores, you can get both language and degree admission; If you don’t have enough funds, you can choose a lower-cost school or fight for scholarships. Therefore, as long as you get a high school diploma, you can study in the United States.

2. What is the academic system of American universities?

All undergraduate majors are generally four years. After completing undergraduate studies, you can continue to apply for graduate students. Generally, it takes two years for a master’s degree and five years for a doctor’s degree. If you have an undergraduate degree in the United States, you can directly apply for a postgraduate degree.

American universities, like those in China, are divided into two semesters every year: spring and autumn. Autumn usually starts in late August and early September, and spring usually starts in early January. Each school has its own schedule. In addition, students can also choose to stay in school in summer (summer vacation). Generally, freshmen are recommended to start school in autumn.

3. What is the annual tuition fee?

There are many universities in the United States, and the cost of each university is different, so the cost fluctuates greatly. The annual cost ranges from 10 thousand dollars to more than 40 thousand dollars. Generally speaking, the top universities are the most expensive, many of which exceed $40,000. The more common expenses are concentrated around $20,000 a year.

4. How are American universities ranked?

The famous USNEWS magazine in the United States selects about 1,300 universities from nearly 4,000 American universities every year to enter the list of the best universities in the United States, and ranks these 1,300 universities into four categories according to the different degrees offered by universities, their scale and regions.

National ranking of doctors, national ranking of liberal arts colleges, regional ranking of masters and regional ranking of undergraduate courses. For high school students studying abroad, all kinds of universities provide high-quality undergraduate education, and the top universities are very good universities.

5. How to apply for a scholarship?

American universities offer the most scholarships to international students in all countries. Almost 3/4 of the 1000 American universities that international students often apply for have scholarships, ranging from several thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars a year. There is no professional procedure, however, the number of scholarships can be directly related to the students’ personal background, the schools they apply for and the application materials. Only a few dozen top universities have the real ability to provide high or even full scholarships to international students, which is not up to the requirements of many China students. Under normal circumstances, most China students can reduce the annual family expenses to between $10,000 and $20,000, or even lower, by getting some scholarships. Scholarship applications are generally included in the application for admission, and no special application is required. However, some schools require to apply for scholarships or grants through an independent scholarship application system. We need to consult our teacher for specific questions.

6. What materials do families studying in the United States need to prepare for their students?

In addition to the work that students need to do to improve their own quality and competitiveness, and the application materials that need to be done when applying, families only need to make some corresponding preparations in terms of funds and financial resources, including deposit certificates and work certificates. Moreover, unlike some countries such as Canada, the United States has no specific requirements on the amount and duration of deposits, and its flexibility is relatively large.

In terms of the amount of deposit, it depends on the cost of applying to the school and whether you get a scholarship. When you apply for a visa, you need to provide a deposit certificate that at least exceeds the total cost of the school for one year (generally about RMB 200,000-300,000). However, in order to ensure the visa to the greatest extent, it is recommended that the deposit certificate fee should cover the cost of 3-4 years (generally more than RMB 600,000-800,000).

If there is a scholarship, it needs to be analyzed according to the amount of the scholarship and the cost of the school. There is almost no requirement for the shelf life. However, if families can make early preparations in terms of deposits, real estate, immovable assets, etc., it is still beneficial. In addition, it is also necessary to apply for a passport in advance before the visa.

7. What qualities do American universities value students?

The admission of American universities is different from that of China, and the decision is made only by the results of the college entrance examination. American universities pay more attention to students’ performance and comprehensive quality in the whole high school stage. First of all, high school academic performance, ranking and standardized test (SAT/ACT) scores are the two most important criteria (of course, many universities can exempt China students from SAT/ACT requirements). Personal important award-winning experience is also highly valued by many top universities. Next is the clerical writing in the application materials, including personal essays or statements, as well as the teacher’s recommendation letter. Finally, TOEFL scores, personal extracurricular activities, hobbies, internship experience and so on.

8. What effect does TOEFL score have on the application?

Although TOEFL is also a kind of standardized test, its importance is far less than that of SAT/ACT. Because SAT/ACT is a test of students’ academic ability, while TOEFL is only a test of language ability to ensure that students have enough English understanding and expression ability to study in the United States.

Therefore, most American universities have a bottom line requirement for TOEFL for international students. Generally, the top ranked schools require more than 80 points, most of them require more than 90 points, and the lowest requirement is generally not less than 75 points. However, almost no school will take TOEFL score as the standard of scholarship evaluation like SAT/ACT.

TOEFL is not as important and decisive as many people think. Just having a high TOEFL score doesn’t mean that you can hit a good university. On the contrary, if the student’s background is excellent, even if TOEFL doesn’t meet the school’s bottom line requirements, you may get an exceptional admission or both language and degree admission.

Of course, a high TOEFL score can reflect a student’s learning ability, intellectual ability and learning attitude to a certain extent, especially when China students can’t provide SAT. Therefore, the attitude towards TOEFL should be to fully prepare, seriously respond, and strive to get an ideal score as much as possible, but TOEFL should not be simply used as the basis for choosing a school when applying.

9. Can you stay in the United States without TOEFL scores?

Sure. As long as the selected school offers language courses, you can apply for both language and degree admission. After finishing the language course in our school, you can enter the undergraduate study at any time once you pass the test.

10. Are there any preparatory courses in American universities?

American universities do not have preparatory courses similar to those in Canada, Australia and other countries. However, many universities offer language courses for international students whose TOEFL scores do not meet the requirements or have no TOEFL scores. Different from the preparatory courses in Canada and other countries, the preparatory courses in the United States are offered by universities themselves, not special language preparatory courses.

After completing the preparatory course, as long as you pass the university test, you can enter the undergraduate study directly according to the major admitted at the time of application without applying for another one. Therefore, the dual admission of language and degree in the United States is insurance, and there will be no possibility that countries such as Canada will still be unable to enter universities after completing preparatory courses.

Advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad

1. Maybe you can earn back a dollar, euros or pounds, which is the original accumulation before you start a business!

You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of foreign countries and broaden your horizons. After living and working abroad for several years, you may have advanced ideas from western countries. The benefits of this idea will undoubtedly have a far-reaching impact on your life and work.

3. Develop life experience. Studying abroad is an excellent opportunity to exercise your perseverance and independent living potential. It can cultivate your diligence. Maybe going abroad for a few years will give you such tenacious qualities.

It is possible to emigrate and live a happy life with welfare.

After going abroad, you will get rid of some bad habits, such as procrastination and lack of time concept. Your moral quality will also be greatly improved. At least you won’t spit and rush to the road like some Chinese, and you won’t throw electromagnetic garbage and white garbage. Of course, you may have been well educated before you went out.

With an excellent foreign diploma and real skills, you can live comfortably!

7. There is no way to learn a real foreign language!

8. It is difficult to find a job after graduation. It’s better to go abroad for gold plating than to take an exam at home. As far as time is concerned, it is almost the same, but the content of gold is naturally incomparable.

9. You can be the business representative of a foreign company in China. If you want to earn a salary abroad and live in China, it’s hard for you to become poor.

As long as you work hard abroad for a few years, you can enjoy a stable high income from now on. This is a dream that others can’t realize all their lives!

Advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad

Some foreigners have a strong sense of exclusion.

It is difficult to find one’s place in this group. Basically, it is mutual care between classmates, classmates and classmates, and classmates and students. There is no so-called social status. You will find it difficult to get along with foreign students and to integrate into their lives.

3. Foreign universities are open and strict. You will find that graduation is always so difficult. Sometimes you even want to give up.

Life abroad may be quite different from what you think. Many European countries are sparsely populated, with cold streets and low bungalows, and their cities are not as good as those in Shanghai and Shenzhen, or even as good as those in rural areas of China!

5. Studying and working in different countries. Studying abroad is a kind of gambling. Gambling is your youth, your parents’ expectation and your parents’ life savings (except those with money). You will feel great pressure, and you will spend several years under this pressure!

6. Living habits are everywhere

7. High consumption abroad often makes you feel shy. You always have to choose cheap goods that others can’t see.

Summary of advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad

Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad at different stages.

First of all, we need to help our children determine the countries where they study abroad. If the family economy is relatively abundant, we suggest choosing mainstream English-speaking countries. According to the overall statistics of the number of people going abroad, the top four are the United States, Britain, Australia and Canada. These countries are basically Commonwealth countries with similar but different education systems. In the past two years, the United States has become the first choice for China students to study abroad because of its relaxed visa policy, stable Sino-US relations, numerous universities and complete majors. Among them, business, science and engineering, art, media, film and television, law, computer and electronic communication have become the most popular choices for students.

As an established capitalist country, the founder of modern university education mode and the political and cultural center of Europe, Britain continues to attract China students to study abroad. On the other hand, Australia and Canada have met the needs of families and students with the attraction of studying abroad+immigration for many years.

Secondly, we should determine when to let our children study abroad. Generally speaking, there are three time periods:

Domestic junior high school graduates go abroad directly to study in high schools, accounting for about 10%-15% of the total number of students studying abroad, and it is on the rise year by year;

A day for China Life’s telemarketers: Facing life with a smile (Figure)

  "Hello, this is Huaxia Life Insurance Qingdao Branch, and this call is …" Here, the voice of introduction is heard one after another, and everyone is on the phone with headphones in their seats without being influenced by others. Sometimes they have smiles on their faces, and sometimes they have deep helplessness. On May 21st, the financial reporter of Peninsula Network walked into the sales position of Qingdao Branch of Huaxia Life Insurance Co., Ltd. to learn the unknown story behind these sweet voices.

  At about 8: 30 in the morning, the reporter went to Qingdao Branch of Huaxia Life Insurance Co., Ltd. located in Yan ‘an Third Road. Since the sales department started work at 9 o’clock, the reporter first communicated with the general manager of the sales department about the sales department.

  According to Mr. Yi, the sales department of Qingdao Branch of Huaxia Life Insurance Co., Ltd. is a newly established department. Mainly sells serious illness insurance and accident insurance. Compared with other insurance sales channels, the advantage of telemarketing is that it is a direct and unfamiliar telephone communication, and every call will be recorded for 22 years. Therefore, what the telemarketing salesman said on the phone is very rigorous, and some risk warnings should also be explained in place. You can’t hide or exaggerate the insurance income and insurance coverage, because every sentence is well documented, so it is more objective for the insured and convenient for the choice of insurance.

  "People nowadays have not formed a relatively orthodox idea about the insurance industry." Mr. Yi believes that "people should have a plan for the future, instead of ignoring the benefits in front of them. When they hear the promotion of insurance, they feel that they are throwing money in vain, but when they are seriously ill and have an accident, they will regret it."

  At 9 o’clock sharp, the morning meeting began, and the reporter generally looked at the workplace of the second department of electricity sales. There are about 30 people in the second division, and the contents of the morning meeting include happy morning exercises, soldiers on the battlefield, performance inventory, excellent performance sharing and so on. Through interactive activities and performance data, it not only inspired everyone’s morale, but also condensed the competitiveness as a team. Coincidentally, the excellent employee who shared the excellent performance this time is the target of the reporter’s interview this morning-Zhang Chunxiang.

  Zhang Chunxiang has been engaged in telemarketing for two and a half years since graduation. She is tall and thin, and she feels an indomitable spirit. "Hello, this is Huaxia Life Insurance …" Zhang Chunxiang communicated with the customer by phone while recording the personal data provided by the customer on the system. The sales process is: first, give short-term accident insurance to customers, provided that the customers agree, and then ask customers for personal information according to the needs of accident insurance, so as to provide customers with traffic accident insurance for three months free of charge.

  After making the phone call to give traffic accident insurance to customers, Zhang Chunxiang’s next job is to recommend other telemarketing insurance products to customers who have given traffic accident insurance before. In the process of making a phone call, some customers don’t answer the phone, and some are very interested in the insurance content. After ending a half-hour insurance recommendation phone call, Zhang Chunxiang told reporters that a customer is a mother of two children, and she is very interested in the insurance of her children. She has been communicating with her customers for a long time, but the children are noisy around and it is not convenient to communicate in detail. So Zhang Chunxiang made an appointment with this customer to call again the next afternoon for further communication.

  During the morning call, a customer was paying off the mortgage. Zhang Chunxiang learned about the customer’s work and helped the customer analyze the necessity and feasibility of buying an insurance. She told reporters, "For this job, we need to know the relevant national policies, taxes and other relevant information. When I first started this industry, I didn’t say anything, and I was tongue-tied when I made a phone call. What I had to do every day was to copy and record. The same recording, listening over and over again, copying over and over again, until it becomes your own thing, you can speak it skillfully. " The reporter saw that Zhang Chunxiang’s seat was filled with several large notebooks, all of which had been used up and copied thickly. Zhang Chunxiang said, "This is part of it. I still have several copies. The recording when I made the first order is now embarrassing to listen to myself. It’s so stuttering, and sometimes customers need to wait to check the information. " Now, Zhang Chunxiang’s communication with customers is as relaxed as chatting with old friends. She hardly needs to find all kinds of information, but has memorized it by heart. In her words, it has become her own thing.

  During the call, Zhang Chunxiang also asked each other from time to time, "I think your place is rather chaotic. What do you do?" Lead to the next topic. If the customer shows interest, it is necessary to continue to follow up while the iron is hot. "Because our calls are recorded, what I said is all in the contract, so I can’t exaggerate, let alone deceive customers." Zhang Chunxiang said, while drinking water. Because the task of the day is to talk for 180 minutes, her voice is slightly hoarse. "At the beginning, when I make a phone call, I will have a sore throat, but I will get used to it after a long time."

  When asked if it is uncomfortable to wear headphones every day, Zhang Chunxiang said that it hurts to wear headphones all the time, and sometimes I feel my hearing will drop. But everyone is like this, and they have nothing to complain about.

  Until around 11: 50, a university teacher said that she wanted to buy accident insurance, and Zhang Chunxiang made her first order today. Before her, the second district department has successfully issued two orders in this small workplace. "Sometimes they tease me and say,’ Zhang Chunxiang, what date is this? You haven’t paid the bill yet?’ I always answer,’ It’s still a few days away, and I’m sure I can finish it.’ "It is this self-confidence and persistence that makes this girl achieve good results in this line and win everyone’s praise.

  At 12 o’clock, it’s time to have dinner. Most of the telemarketers bring their own meals. After dinner, several salesmen simply put several chairs together into a "bed" to rest and replenish their physical strength so that they can have enough physical strength for afternoon work.

  At 1: 30, the working hours in the afternoon began. The reporter went to the first district upstairs and met the interviewee in the afternoon-Li Xiaxia, the annual sales champion. Li Xiaxia is a thin girl, but she always has a smile on her face. When the reporter came to the first district, the three groups were having an afternoon meeting, doing some interactive games to get everyone back to work from lunch break, and also to let everyone understand the meaning of the team more deeply.

  Li Xiaxia’s seat is also covered with all kinds of information, such as the details of Qingdao Claims Hospital and the age table for 2013. When she opens her mouth, she has a hoarse voice. In the afternoon, she failed to get through several calls, some didn’t answer, some hung up, and some hung up when she told her intention. However, Li Xiaxia doesn’t have too many negative emotions on her face, and she always smiles when facing reporters. From Li Xiaxia, the reporter learned that she had made an order in the morning, but most of the time, customers would not listen carefully. They would hang up the phone for common reasons such as going to work, having a meeting, driving and looking after the children. Some are more polite, and thank you after listening to the description. You don’t need to hang up again, and some just hang up. In the Notice on Further Strengthening the Management of Special Telemarketing Products for Property Insurance Companies issued by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, it is stipulated that property insurance companies should establish a telephone screening system for telemarketing. For customers who explicitly indicate that they are not insured or refuse to continue to answer the phone, the telemarketing agent should end the call in time and use technical means to block the relevant phone numbers. An insurance company shall not call out the same customer again within one year. The reporter also saw that Li Xiaxia would mark the customers who refused to buy insurance on the system to avoid dialing again.

  When asked if she would feel great pressure if she was rejected dozens of times every day, Li Xiaxia said: "Some customers have a bad attitude, or hang up the phone directly, I will feel very depressed and have a big psychological gap. This requires me to adjust my mentality in time. Fortunately, my psychological endurance is not bad, and my work will continue. " She said, "But I am very happy to introduce products to customers, let them buy insurance and give their families a guarantee."

  It will soon be 6 o’clock in the afternoon. Although there is no running around, sitting for a day makes reporters feel backache, and these telemarketing salesmen sit in their seats every day, constantly calling to communicate and explain how hard it is. Li Xiaxia told reporters that after talking so much at work one day, she basically didn’t want to say a word after going home at night. Sitting for a long time made her cervical spine feel a little uncomfortable.

  Through this day’s interview, the reporter found that it is not easy to do every job well, even if it is just a phone call. In the morning, Mr. Yi said, "The insurance industry has not been recognized by most people in China, so these telemarketing salesmen are often regarded as liars when they call every day, and they have to be polite and graceful when they meet all kinds of people’s incomprehension and rude attitude.". They can’t be angry or complain when they are rejected dozens or even hundreds of times every day, let alone lose confidence in themselves. They should always face life, work and all kinds of people on the phone with hope. They touched people’s hearts with smiles. [Editor: Gai Xiaojun]

Foreign countries treat credit card theft: someone pays for the loss of research and development biotechnology

  The problem of credit card theft is becoming more and more common in China, and it has a long history abroad. What is the development trend of foreign credit card theft cases? What are the advanced experiences of foreign cardholders, banks and regulations in dealing with stolen brushes? In the last issue of the "Focus on Credit Card Stealing" series, we invited our reporters in Britain, the United States and Germany to take us to find out by combining interviews with our own experiences.

  Britain:

  Develop biotechnology

  Identify consumer behavior

  Lucy Nagling, press officer of the UK Anti-Financial Fraud Action Group, told reporters that financial fraud in the UK in 2015 caused a total loss of 755 million pounds, an increase of 26% over the previous year. Among them, the financial loss caused by stolen debit cards and credit cards or information leakage was 567 million pounds, an increase of 18% over the previous year. Nagling said that these increasing data show that Britain is facing severe pressure to crack down on financial fraud. In particular, the increasingly complex network attacks, Trojan horse implantation, data theft and other behaviors make financial fraud more difficult to prevent and combat.

  According to the survey of the UK Anti-Financial Fraud Action Group, in 2015, there were mainly the following types of financial fraud in the UK. The first is to pretend to be a bank, a police officer, or a government public department, make a phone call or send a text message or email, and get the user’s bank card or credit card information. Its excuses usually include paying an emergency expenditure, refunding a certain fee, and upgrading an account. Different from the domestic bank card "password verification can be set for online or offline consumption", credit cards in the UK are generally used for direct credit card consumption or signature consumption. If you use a credit card or debit card through the Internet or telephone, there is still no password setting. Generally, you only need to provide the card number and the 3-digit number printed on the back of the card. Therefore, if the personal card number and the three digits on the back are leaked, it will be easily stolen by others.

  When the reporter first came to Britain, he was repeatedly reminded by his friends that he must not easily tell others the bank card number and the three digits on the back. On weekdays, reporters also received many calls for payment, some from formal large enterprises, such as power companies; Others can’t confirm the authenticity of their identity. In this case, it is safer to refuse to pay by phone and log in to the official website to pay.

  The second common type of fraud is stealing and copying bank card information. The timing of the attack is often when the cardholder operates at an ATM or POS machine, or swipes the card to shop.

  The third common type of fraud is the increasing network attacks and thefts, which are often committed through links with Trojans and fake websites.

  In the face of endless financial fraud tricks, British banks and relevant regulatory authorities are committed to studying and adopting newer and better preventive measures. According to reports, the security system adopted by the Bank of England in 2015 prevented about 70% of fraud. Some of these measures include: developing new security tools, especially biometrics, consumer behavior identification technology, etc. If the recent trading behavior of an account is quite different from usual, it will contact the customer in time for confirmation; Strengthen cooperation with government departments, financial regulatory agencies and other relevant units to jointly crack down on financial fraud and ensure timely communication of information and data; Use various methods to remind users to pay attention to cultivating account security awareness and prevent financial fraud.

  Tony Black, senior investigator of the Credit Card Crime Investigation Team of the UK Anti-Financial Fraud Action Group, called on: "It is very important for users to remain vigilant. If you receive a phone call, text message or email asking for your personal information, please don’t reply easily. You must ensure that the other party is trustworthy, for example, you can verify it through the authorities. Otherwise, it is best to ignore it. "

  In addition, the official websites of major banks in the UK have information to remind cardholders to use bank cards and credit cards safely, including: personal information related to accounts should not be disclosed to anyone; Be sure to pay attention to whether the website is safe when shopping online; Check the bank statement regularly, be aware of your own consumption, and notify the bank in time if you find any suspicious signs; Receipts, bills and invoices after swiping the card at ordinary times should be properly kept.

  At present, all major banks in the UK have opened 24-hour customer service telephones. After discovering that the credit card has been stolen, as long as you call the bank, the account will be closed and the staff will check it and send a new card.

  United States:

  Spot check customer identity

  Stealing brushes costs a lot.

  Major banks in the United States have different preventive measures to prevent credit cards from being stolen in large quantities and continuously. Take the Bank of America credit card used by the reporter as an example. If the banking system detects abnormal consumption of the credit card, it will send a short message and temporarily freeze the credit card. Every time a reporter goes on a business trip in a foreign country and spends twice with a credit card, it will be temporarily frozen. The bank sends the latest consumption record through SMS, and the bank will lift the freeze after the cardholder confirms it.

  There are also strict regulations on the use of credit cards in the United States, and it is not allowed to use other people’s credit cards to spend money, even for a family. Merchants will check the identity documents of consumers from time to time, and once they find that the identity of the cardholder is inconsistent with that shown on the credit card, they will refuse to accept the card.

  If the cardholder reports the stolen credit card to the bank, the bank will freeze the card in time and send a new card to the cardholder, and the cardholder does not have to bear the loss. At the same time, the bank will ask the cardholder to call the police and find out the truth by checking the signature. Most banks buy credit card insurance, and the compensation for cardholders is ultimately borne by the insurance company, so there is no reason for banks not to protect the rights and interests of cardholders.

  If the cardholder has any objection to the consumption, calls the bank and the bank trusts the customer, then the disputed amount will be returned to the cardholder first, and then communicated with the merchant. Of course, if it is finally determined that it is the fault of the cardholder, the cardholder will have to pay the full amount of consumption and even pay interest.

  In the United States, stealing other people’s credit cards is a serious crime, and the punishment measures stipulated by each state are different, but they are generally more severe. In Virginia, where the reporter is located, the law stipulates that stealing someone else’s credit card can be fined up to $10,000 and imprisoned for 20 years. In the face of severe punishment measures, the cost of stealing other people’s credit cards is very high, and most people dare not easily break the law.

  If the cardholder conceals his own consumption and maliciously deceives the bank, the cardholder will not only compensate and bear legal responsibility, but also record his behavior in the credit system. Once you have a bad credit record, all aspects such as applying for a credit card and buying insurance will be affected, which can be said to be difficult.

  Germany:

  The insurance mechanism is sound

  Someone pays for the loss.

  German credit cards have always adhered to the principle of "convenience for cardholders". Except for a small number of bus ticketing machines, you need to enter the PIN code, and most of the counter consumption can be done by signing. In some parking lot payment machines, the card is directly deducted without any verification after being inserted.

  Although the use of credit cards in Germany does not require a password, and cashiers rarely check their signatures carefully, thieves are not "cold" about it. There are many cases where the wallet is stolen and the cash is lost, but the credit card is intact. The reporter has experienced it personally. German police once explained to reporters that no matter whether they are operating in machines or shopping malls, most of them are equipped with cameras nearby, which will definitely leave traces of the time and place of consumption, so thieves will not "take this big risk".

  High convenience is always accompanied by high risks. Although thieves dare not steal credit cards in public places, cyber hackers can hide behind the screen and commit crimes. Since most credit cards in Germany don’t popularize SMS consumption reminder service, theoretically, as long as you know the cardholder’s name, card number, 3-digit security code on the back of the card and the expiration date, you can make any consumption online. This is not difficult for network hackers.

  During the one and a half years in Germany, the reporter was forced to change three credit cards because of this kind of network theft. In the worst case, thousands of euros were stolen, and a large amount of money was spent in Shanghai, Dubai, Paris and other places within one day. Finally, the reporter learned that the card was stolen because the bank became suspicious and stopped the card and informed the reporter.

  However, cardholders who have been stolen should not be too flustered. When the cardholder contacts the customer service of the credit card or goes directly to the bank counter to complain, the bank will ask the cardholder to explain the actual use of the credit card in person or in writing, and sometimes make a preliminary verification. After it is confirmed that the hacker forged the consumption record, the bank will ask the cardholder to fill in the compensation complaint form and send it back to the complaint acceptance center, which can generally eliminate the stolen payment on the next settlement date. As far as the reporter’s experience is concerned, it generally takes no more than three weeks from the bank accepting the complaint to eliminating the stolen debts, and there will be no stalemate or dispute between the bank and the cardholder. As long as it can be proved that the stolen brush is not caused by personal negligence such as losing the card, the cardholder will appeal successfully.

  The reason why cardholders and banks can be so calm is related to the perfect credit card insurance mechanism. According to the staff of the German Savings Bank, banks will make huge investments in credit card insurance every year. With "all risks", the bank can claim compensation from the insurance company, that is, the stolen money will eventually be paid by the insurance company. The insurance company will further let its investigation team investigate and contact the police. In addition, Germany has a "lawyer’s insurance" that can pay the lawyer’s fees for prosecution and police investigation. The monthly cost is about tens of euros, and most people will buy it. Cardholders will generally cooperate with banks, report to the police and go through legal procedures to bring the real murderer to justice.

  Despite this, the German police told reporters that most of the hackers are international criminals who operate remotely across borders and are often difficult to track down. This may be one reason why most Germans don’t like credit cards.

Adult animation unsuitable for children: full of humanistic care and fate pity

Original Ariane Yinke Aesthetics

As a comprehensive art form, animation not only exists in our childhood memories, but also occupies a part of many people’s adult movies.

Many animated films will bring people a lot of thoughts, including life, affection and growth, as well as ethics and choice …

Here, the president recommended ten popular animations worth watching, so hurry up and collect them.

PERSEPOLIS

Persepolis

# Self-growth under the Change of Iran

Douban score: 8.7

Year: 2007

Length: 96 minutes

Keywords: biographical history

Persepolis is adapted from the cartoon of the same name by Iranian female illustrator Marjane Satrapi. The animation tells the story of Majia from a little girl to an adult in an autobiographical form of laughter and tears.

As a child, Majia lived in the vigorous revolutionary era, which is very similar to the crazy and absurd sixties and seventies of our country. The adults were always in fear, while the children were excited, as if playing games. They had their own unique eyes and strange perspectives on the world.

Pursue the comfort of love, return to the arms of parents, settle down in marriage, or enrich yourself in the process of learning from books. Ma Jia went through them one by one, but most of them came back disappointed. Finally, she went abroad again and immigrated to France.

The highlight of the film is that the cartoonist uses the ingenuity of a woman to infiltrate political history into a story of a woman’s growth, maintaining the temperament of an innocent little girl and a pure perspective. In addition, the cartoon style combines traditional art with modern art, showing an Iranian woman’s rebellion in black and white and liberation in self-mockery.

▲ Douban CammyWhite:

France is not beautiful, but she still returned to France. Iran is not beautiful, but she still said that she is from Iran.

CHILI

# Come to the dream to heal you

Douban score: 9.0

Year: 2006

Length: 90 minutes

If Miyazaki Hayao discussed the themes of childhood, dreams and love, then Jin Min discussed the themes of obsession, humanity and social care.

In order to treat the mental illness of modern human beings, at the beginning of the film, police officer Fenchuan and red pepper shuttled through different scenes with different images, and experienced dreams synchronously with patients, and launched a fantastic and thrilling struggle.

After reading the works directed by Jin Min, it is not difficult to find that Jin Min is ruthless. His animation films have always been adult-oriented, and have strong humanistic care and compassion for individual destiny.

▲ Douban Eve.W:

If Inception is shot by engineering students, it is full of logic, mathematics and reasoning, which is extremely clever. Then, red pepper is like a shot by a liberal arts student, and it is a real dream.

PERFECT BLUE

Perfect Blue

# The struggle of girl idols in transformation and awakening

Douban score: 8.9

Year: 1997

Length: 81 minutes

Keywords: thriller dream

The story begins with the protagonist Weima giving up her idol singer and becoming an actress. With the promotion of the plot, Wuma’s image subverts our initial understanding of her.

The second half of the film has been alternating between the illusion of numbness and the real bloody case around her, and occasionally there is a shot of a crazy fan with a horrible face.

It is worth mentioning that Jin Min, the director, is good at using the alternating technique of reality and illusion to make the animation film to the extreme, but unfortunately, there are not many works left by Jin Min.

▲ Douban: queer as folk Chinese

I was so frightened that my hair stood on end. Jin Min is the david lynch of animation! The switch between reality and reality is amazing.

BIRDS OF FIRE

Fire bird

# Tell reincarnation through time and space

Douban score: 8.2

Year: 1979

Length: 137 minutes

Keywords: fantasy reincarnation

"Firebirds are legendary immortal birds. They can travel through time and space and never die. Arabs call them Felix, while Chinese calls them Phoenix. Firebirds will not die, and they will be reborn in the fire …"

The film tells the story of life, samsara, desire and pursuit with firebird as a clue and the rotation of several great figures.

The opening song and ending song of this film are highly recommended. Listening to songs is just like traveling through the past, present and future. Between all civilizations and life, time is just a note depicting the universe and the sea of stars.

▲ Douban has such a character:

When I saw the end of the future series connected with the dawn series to form a story ring, I couldn’t help but marvel that Tezuka really is the god of comics, and there is no one. The future you think is just a reincarnation of the past.

BLACK JACK

# Fight against each other, one wants to die and the other wants to live.

Douban score: 8.2

Year: 2005

Length: 133 minutes

Keywords: risky choice

Two doctors, one saves lives and the other kills.

Black Jack is a man who has experienced darkness and pain, but he has never become a member of the dark world, because he has always turned saving people into his own belief.

Another doctor who kills people thinks that it is better to die peacefully than to let the patient live in pain because of his experience as a military doctor.

At the other end of the story, a mother was seriously injured and paralyzed. In order not to drag down her children, she called Dr. Chiliko, who is known as the incarnation of death, for euthanasia.

On the other hand, in order to save his mother, his children worked day and night to save money, hoping that Black Jack would operate on her mother.

The series "Black Jack, the strange doctor" contains the original cartoons, which is a classic masterpiece in my heart, and richly shows the original author Mr. Osamu Tezuka’s integration of anti-war, environmental protection, humanistic spirit and medical knowledge.

TIME OF EVE

Eve’s time

Douban score: 8.5

Year: 2010

In a strange space, the robot is there, becoming a living person, and can’t tell the difference between man and robot.

This film tells the ethical relationship between robots and human beings. In that world, because of the existence of a cafe named "Eve’s Time", robots who come here can eliminate the aura of signs and move like human beings, so robots begin to have their own happiness and troubles.

The film leads to a thought-provoking topic. In the future era of increasingly artificial intelligence, will humans coexist peacefully with robots, or will robots be ruthlessly used by humans, or will humans be replaced by robots?

If one day, you have such a robot, what will you do?

▲ Douban lara:

Although there are countless entanglements about humanoid robots and human beings, this film must be the most delicate, warm and soft.

ONLY YESTERDAY

Length: 134 minutes

Keywords: love growth

27-year-old Miao Zi took a car to his brother-in-law’s home for a holiday in the countryside. From time to time along the way, she recalled her 10-year-old self, who was willful and often bullied by her sister, a young Miao Zi surrounded by her budding feelings, and a self troubled by her youth growth. A youthful memory slowly surfaced.

Perhaps every successful film has almost one or two classic lines: "Which do you prefer, sunny, cloudy or rainy?" A seemingly irrelevant question and answer embodies many unspeakable thoughts. I’m afraid only Guangtian, a handsome boy of the school baseball team, and Miao Zi, an ordinary little girl, know it.

Did you have such memories when you were a student?

▲ Douban Lu Zhefeng:

I like Gao Tianxun more than Miyazaki Hayao. Palace is full of momentum, and height is tender and tender.

She came across someone who always borrowed the same book from herself and read it faster than herself, so driven by curiosity, A Wen and Tian Ze walked in slowly.

The lyrics of the film’s ending song "Country Road" are an interpretation of the inner feelings of the two protagonists. On the one hand, they interpret the defense and struggle of their dreams, on the other hand, they write brave love.

Xiao Lin Zhen, a junior high school student, witnessed his favorite girl seeking incense and helping middle-aged uncle. After her mother and teacher walked out of the tryst hotel together, she finally couldn’t bear to take sleeping pills to commit suicide.

The biggest feature of this film is that it puts the delicate and hesitant feelings of youth under the interwoven situation of reality and fantasy. Although the world outlook is fictional, the dilemma faced by each character is full of real sense of substitution.

If you had a second chance, what would you do with it?

▲ Douban movie madman:

A real film of introspection and self-examination not only pays attention to the loneliness of people in the city, but also the little warmth that is lacking in the family.

SONG OF THE SEA

Song of the Sea

# Start an adventure and return to your hometown

Douban score: 8.8

Year: 2016

A father who lost his wife was devastated, neglected his children and hid his feelings; A son who lost his mother vented his resentment on his innocent sister, even though he had promised to be the best brother; A daughter who left her mother at birth cannot make a sound.

The film repeatedly tells the protagonist’s sorrow, and the songs also reveal the sadness that has changed over time.

It is worth noting that this film takes the rotating pattern of island art to the extreme, with smart lines, rounded circles and light color style, which makes each picture a wonderful painting and can be used as a simple visual art appreciation.

  Since the beginning of spring, with the extinction of influenza and mycoplasma, another respiratory disease that has not existed for many years has been mentioned again-whooping cough.

  According to the "National Epidemic Situation of Legal Infectious Diseases" published by the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention in official website on a regular basis, from January 1 to February 29, 2024, 32,380 cases of whooping cough were reported nationwide, nearly 23 times that of the same period in 2023 (1,421 cases). It is worth noting that among the more than 30,000 cases of pertussis, there were 13 deaths.

  Unusual signs have aroused the vigilance of the disease control department. At a recent conference, Shen Hongbing, deputy director of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention and director of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, pointed out that "the current prevention and control of whooping cough in China should be paid attention to."

  According to reports, adults and adolescents with inconspicuous symptoms have become the main body of infection for infants and young children. Moreover, even though the DTP vaccine (made of pertussis vaccine, diphtheria toxoid and tetanus toxoid, which can prevent pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus at the same time) still maintains a high vaccination rate, pertussis still shows a trend of making a comeback. Academic circles believe that this phenomenon is called "pertussis reappearance"
resurgence)”。

  Pertussis is becoming more easily found.

  Recently, pediatricians have noticed that there are more and more children with whooping cough in clinic.

  Gao Zheng, a pediatrician at Zhuozheng Medical (Shanghai), said that during the period around New Year’s Day, children with clinical characteristics of whooping cough were encountered. "After checking and verifying by targeted sequencing of pathogens, it was found that it was’ whooping cough’ or it would scare us. Because of the clinical history, this child who came to see a doctor is likely to have become a source of infection at this time. "

  Yao Ting (pseudonym), director of the Department of Infectious Diseases in a first-tier city children’s hospital, also felt that since last year, the number of children with whooping cough has increased significantly, as has the surrounding prefecture-level cities. Among the patients, the symptoms of older children are sometimes atypical; The baby’s cough is more serious, especially at night, "almost choking with cough."

  In fact, since 2014, the incidence of whooping cough in China has shown an upward trend.

  (From official website, Chinese Medical Association)

  Some disease control people believe that the improvement of testing ability may be an important factor affecting the increase of pertussis prevalence data.

  A grass-roots health worker recalled that when he participated in an academic report a few years ago, it seemed that only a few hospitals in a city could carry out the etiological detection of whooping cough. Today, hospitals with a small scale have the ability to carry out the etiological detection of whooping cough. Even if they can’t detect it themselves, they can send it to a third-party institution for help.

  Let infants and young children before DTP vaccination

  In a high-prevalence environment of whooping cough.

  The risk is enormous

  Many clinicians said that severe or fatal cases of whooping cough were still concentrated in unvaccinated infants. However, the family cluster disease makes the mode of transmission from adults to infants more and more severe.

  Chang Rongshan, an epidemiologist, said that the hidden danger of the change of epidemic characteristics of whooping cough lies in the fact that adolescents and adults with whooping cough often have mild symptoms because of their sound immune system, so it is difficult to attract attention. But it is these neglected teenagers and adults with pertussis that are becoming an important and dangerous source of infection, threatening vulnerable babies.

  What are the symptoms of whooping cough

  How to treat and care?

  Let’s watch it together

  ↓↓↓

  01

  What is whooping cough?

  Pertussis is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by a kind of bacteria called Bordetella pertussis. Like other respiratory infectious diseases, whooping cough is transmitted by droplets in the mouth and nose, which is highly contagious. All ages are susceptible to infection, and the course of disease can reach 2-3 months. Please note that whooping cough is a Class B infectious disease and needs to be isolated.

  02

  What are the symptoms of whooping cough?

  The whole course of whooping cough is divided into three stages. For your convenience, let’s list it with a chart.

  Some patients with pertussis have relatively mild symptoms and only show cough, but severe cough of infants under 6 months old may cause purple lips, apnea, convulsion, bradycardia or cardiac arrest, so parents and pediatricians should pay more attention to it.

  03

  What tests do you need to do for the diagnosis of whooping cough?

  1.
Blood drawing: "Finger blood" blood routine will increase white blood cells in the early stage, but it cannot be diagnosed. The accuracy of "venous blood" pertussis antibody is high, but the result is slow, which takes 7-14 days.

  2. Detection of nucleic acid by nasopharyngeal swab: "poking nose" or "scraping throat" to detect the DNA of whooping cough has high accuracy and quick results, and the report is usually issued in 1-4 days.

  3. Chest X-ray: The lung infection caused by pertussis can be detected. Compared with other pathogens, the probability of pneumonia caused by Bordetella pertussis is less.

  04

  How to isolate whooping cough?

  Pertussis is a national legal class B infectious disease and needs to be isolated.

  Pertussis is highly contagious. When coughing or sneezing, Bordetella pertussis spreads rapidly with droplets. Patients who have not been treated with antibiotics are most contagious within 3 weeks of onset. Effective antibiotic treatment can shorten the bacteria discharge period.

  Isolation period: untreated patients were isolated for 21 days after onset.

  Five days after treatment with sensitive antibiotics.

  05

  I have been vaccinated against pertussis. Why did I get it again?

  First of all, the current pertussis vaccine is not durable enough, and most school-age children and adults have passed the vaccine protection period. This is the most important reason.

  Secondly, children and adolescents often show chronic cough after infection, and adult cases can not be paid attention to because of atypical symptoms or occult infection, thus becoming the source of infection for infants and young children, making the infection easier to spread.

  Although whooping cough cannot produce lifelong immunity. However, vaccination can reduce the risk of severe illness and death, and it is still the most economical and effective means to prevent and control whooping cough, which is very necessary.

  06

  Does whooping cough really take a hundred days?

  That’s not true.

  From the three stages of whooping cough, we can see that the first and second stages usually last for four to eight weeks, and the recovery period is uncertain. Most patients can "end the battle" within two months.

  Therefore, whooping cough may not last for 100 days, and certainly it will not come to an abrupt end in 100 days, and it needs active treatment.

  07

  How is the vaccination plan for whooping cough arranged?

  China has implemented the planned immunization since 1978. At present, the combined pertussis-diphtheria-tetanus vaccine (DTP vaccine) is applied to pertussis. Infants and children should be vaccinated with one dose of DTP vaccine at 3 months, 4 months, 5 months and 18 months respectively.

  Parents, please note that at present, the DTP vaccine used in China can only be used for children under 7 years old, so there is no vaccine for preventing pertussis for adolescents and adults aged 7 and above.

  08

  How to treat pertussis?

  At present, oral medication is recommended, and macrolides are the first choice. If macrolides are resistant, compound sulfamethoxazole is recommended.

  09

  Can it be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?

  Sure.

  National Health Commission and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine jointly issued the whooping cough diagnosis and treatment plan (2023 edition), which clearly mentioned the treatment plan of traditional Chinese medicine and shared it with you. Of course, Chinese medicine pays attention to "seeing, hearing and asking questions", and the specific prescription adjustment still depends on face-to-face consultation with Chinese medicine practitioners.

  How to care at home?

  The general principle is: rest more! Less excitement!

  1. Environmental care: ventilation, proper indoor temperature and humidity, and avoidance of various stimuli that induce convulsions and coughs.

  Avoid scaring and disturbing: the environment is quiet, avoiding unnecessary stimulation, so as not to cause paroxysmal spasm and cough; Less reprimand, more comfort, less excessive attention to spasmodic cough, and avoid patients’ psychological tension.

  Avoid odor stimulation: keep the indoor environment fresh and avoid odor stimulation such as smoke and oil smoke.

  It is advisable to keep patients in a good mood; Adequate rest should be ensured.

  2. Diet care: balance diet nutrition and ensure the supply of nutrition; Eat a small amount and eat more slowly.

  Suitable for digestible and non-irritating foods, such as noodles, rice porridge, steamed eggs, etc.

  Avoid cold, spicy and greasy food.

Domestic mobile phones are rushing to the high end, and they are struggling.

Text/degree

Huawei’s mobile phone was forced to withdraw from the high-end market because the supply of 5G chips was clamped down by the United States. In the past two years, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have hit the high-end market in succession, trying to occupy the market share given up by Huawei. Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, and glory have piled up hardware, played joint names, and made great efforts in marketing.

A common feature is that mobile phone manufacturers have generally launched sub-brands that take the cost-effective route (such as Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi, OPPO’s sub-brand realme, and vivo’s sub-brand iQOO), while parent brand has turned its course to the high-end market.

But this trend was quickly attacked by Apple. The strong momentum of iPhone13 series has given a heavy hammer to domestic mobile phones.

Data show that after the release of the iPhone13 series, Apple ranked first in the smartphone market in China in October 2021, which is the first time that it has returned to the first place in China since December 2015. In November 2021, Apple continued to be the first in the China market, with a market share of 23.6%.

In addition, Apple overtook Xiaomi in the third quarter of 2021 and regained the second place in global sales. Affected by the boost of new product sales, Apple’s total market value once exceeded $3 trillion in the early morning of January 4, 2022, becoming the first company in the world to enter the $3 trillion club.

"Xiaomi’s market share declined in the third quarter (2021), mainly related to the strong performance of iPhone13." Wang Xiang, president of Xiaomi Group, said so on the performance conference call in the third quarter of 2021.

As we all know, Apple’s iPhone has taken three-quarters of the profits of the global mobile phone industry. Only by taking the mid-to-high-end iPhone (the cheapest mobile phone sold by Apple in official website is the iPhone SE, with a price of 3,299), Apple can become the second largest seller in the world, which shows its unshakable position in the high-end market.

On the other hand, domestic manufacturers, after Huawei, have no one to stop Apple’s offensive in the high-end market. An outstanding performance is that after the release of the iPhone13 series in 2021, the price of domestic mobile phones began to "dive" wildly in a second-hand market.

The reason is that with the escalating arms race of mobile phone hardware, it is increasingly difficult for domestic mobile phone manufacturers who lack autonomy in hardware and whose core supply chain is controlled by others to break through in product strength.

If the core supply chain problem is not solved, domestic mobile phone manufacturers will only become more and more passive in the next generation of computing equipment with more extreme performance requirements represented by AR/VR.

01 Apple’s "open plan"

In double 11 in 2021, the price of flagship machine Xiaomi Mix 4 just released by Xiaomi in August plunged sharply into 1000 yuan, and the starting price dropped from 4,999 yuan to 3,999 yuan. The news of price reduction once rushed to the second place in Zhihu’s digital hot list.

In this regard, many users who bought Mix 4 for the first time poured bitterness on social networking sites: "double 11 directly dropped 1,000 yuan. Who will buy the starter in the future? Is the high-end positioning so branded?" "Lei Jun said that Xiaomi only earned 5% of the profits. I believe it. Is it a loss to sell the price down by 1,000 yuan?"

In fact, it has been the norm for many years that the value of Android phones is low and the price "diving" after a period of sale. However, in 2021, the price reduction of flagship machine, a domestic manufacturer, was particularly prominent.

For example, the price of one plus nine Pro double 11 with a starting price of 4,999 yuan dropped to 3,799 yuan, and the price of vivo flagship machine X60 Pro+ double 11 with a starting price of 4,998 yuan dropped to 3,999 yuan, which made many old users call it "broken defense".

Faster price cuts and lower prices naturally mean the loss of profit margins for mobile phone manufacturers, but even so, the price cuts made in flagship machine have not brought about a significant improvement in sales.

According to the report released by BCI, a market research organization, during the two weeks (10.25-11.7) of the Double Eleven intensive promotion, Apple’s sales in the domestic market were far ahead.

The reason is that this is not unrelated to Apple’s initiative to cut prices on the iPhone13 series. This year’s iPhone13 series has been added and reduced in price, and the sales of its products are obvious to all. The 13 Pro series with high version is continuously out of stock.

It is reported that the official price of the 64GB version of the iPhone 12 released in 2020 is 6299 yuan, while the official price of the 128GB version of the iPhone 13 released in 2021 is only 5999 yuan. In addition, various e-commerce activities in double 11 give subsidies ranging from 200 to 500, which makes many netizens shout: Thirteen Fragrances!

Some people in the mobile phone industry believe that the price reduction of the iPhone 13 series is Apple’s "open plan". Apple took the initiative to attack, trying to disrupt the strategic pace of domestic manufacturers attacking high-end, and stop the emergence of "the next Huawei".

From the perspective of the sales volume of domestic mobile phone manufacturers and the "diving" of flagship model prices, Apple’s "open plan" is very effective. In the domestic high-end market, it is difficult for domestic manufacturers to match it.

02 technical short board exposure

Apple is not always a Ma Pingchuan in the high-end market, and it is difficult to meet its rivals. In 2020, Huawei’s mobile phone reached its peak, and it was even with Apple in the high-end market.

According to IDC’s data, in the first half of 2020, Huawei and Apple accounted for nearly 90% of the domestic mobile phone market share in the price range of more than $600, reaching 88.1%. Huawei ranked first ahead of Apple by 0.1%.

But unfortunately, since Huawei’s mobile phone "fell" from the peak because of the chip being suppressed, it is difficult for domestic manufacturers to succeed Huawei and compete with Apple.

This is not unrelated to the technical shortcomings of domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

In the core components such as screen, core processor, CMOS image sensor, especially SoC chip, domestic mobile phone factories such as Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo and Glory all rely on the support of supply chain, while Apple, Samsung and Huawei have all achieved partial autonomy and self-research. It is for this reason that domestic mobile phone manufacturers (except Huawei) have been criticized as "advanced assembly plants".

Especially the SoC of mobile phones, in this field, Huawei used to rely on the Kirin 9000 chip developed by itself to achieve the same performance as Apple A14 chip. However, with the suppression of high-end chips, the self-developed SoC chips have become a swan song, and the high-end flagships of Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, Glory and other manufacturers all adopt the outsourced Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC chips.

In 2021, when the fever problem of Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 became "Fire Dragon 888", it was difficult for Android phones to compete with Apple using A15 processor in terms of performance and power consumption, and the problem of supply chain autonomy was exposed.

Specifically, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chip in 2021 has some problems, such as high power consumption, high calorific value and fast battery consumption, which greatly reduces the experience of domestic high-end mobile phones in 2021.

The mobile phone manufacturer most negatively affected by "Dragon 888" is Xiaomi. Since the release of Xiaomi 11 series, users have constantly reported that Xiaomi 11 series has serious problems of fever, motherboard burning and WiFi burning. The incident has also been reported by many media.

Even so, the flagship models of domestic mobile phone manufacturers are still dependent on Qualcomm. Qualcomm is almost dominant in the field of high-end SoC of mobile phones.

Just recently, Xiaomi and Lenovo, two domestic mobile phone manufacturers, fought a small "battle" over "who will launch Qualcomm Snapdragon’s next-generation SoC", and Lenovo’s Motorola brand finally won the top spot.

However, it is worth pondering that the performance of Qualcomm’s new generation SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen1 in terms of power consumption and heat generation has not improved much compared with the previous generation 888. A number of commentators pointed out that the mobile phones equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen1 currently on the market generally adopt the methods of frequency reduction, frame locking and resolution reduction to control the fever of the mobile phones, which makes a certain discount on the actual experience.

Self-developed chip: a difficult and correct way

In fact, Snapdragon 888 chip is not the first time that domestic mobile phone manufacturers have suffered from Qualcomm. In 2015, Qualcomm Xiaolong 810 chip was once called "fire dragon" because of its high power consumption and fever, which dragged down the product strength of a number of Android flagship mobile phones.

In the case that the core supply chain is controlled by people, once an accident happens, it is difficult for mobile phone manufacturers to avoid the negative impact, and there is great uncertainty behind it.

Perhaps affected by this, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have long developed the idea of self-developed mobile phone SoC. Unfortunately, except Huawei, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have not successfully got rid of their dependence on Qualcomm’s flagship chip.

In 2017, the Xiaomi 5C mobile phone released by Xiaomi was equipped with a self-developed 澎湃 S1 processor, but the subsequent 澎湃 S2 failed several times, and the core-making plan finally ran aground.

It is reported that ZEKU (Zheku Technology), a chip subsidiary of OPPO, is also developing SoC chips. Some media pointed out that OPPO plans to OEM its 3 nm SoC chip developed by TSMC. If the research and development is successful, it will be carried on the flagship mobile phone launched in 2023 or 2024.

Judging from the failure experience of Xiaomi 澎湃 S2 and Huawei’s exploration, it is very difficult to develop a mobile phone SoC chip. It takes at least three years to develop a SoC chip, and a lot of money is invested. Lei Jun once described core-building as "a narrow escape" in a speech. This is a great test for the financial resources and courage of mobile phone manufacturers.

However, it is more meaningful to persist in the difficult and correct things. Self-developed SoC can help mobile phone manufacturers to better control the integration of software and hardware, and widen the gap with competitors in experience, especially in the case that Qualcomm’s flagship processor products are not strong enough.

From a longer-term perspective, the next generation of computing platforms, whether AR, VR or Metauniverse, will have significantly higher requirements for software and hardware than mobile phones. This also puts forward higher requirements for the performance of smart device SoC.

Especially the metauniverse, Intel Company pointed out that the metauniverse may be the next major computing platform after the World Wide Web and mobile phones, but the current computing, storage and network infrastructure is simply not enough to realize this vision, and the collective computing power of human beings needs to be improved at least 1000 times.

This means that the next generation of computing platforms will have more extreme requirements for the performance of terminal equipment, and enterprises with self-research capability of SoC chips and high integration of software and hardware will be the winners in the future.

04 written at the end

In terms of software and hardware integration, Apple, which has a closed IOS ecosystem and super A series chips, is second to none. Developing Android system Google also equipped a self-developed Tensor processor on the latest Pixel 6 series mobile phones, trying to make up for the shortcomings on the SoC chip.

However, domestic mobile phone manufacturers still rely more on Android system in software level, and lack the design and manufacturing ability of SoC in hardware level. If this situation is not effectively improved, the road for domestic mobile phone manufacturers will be more and more narrow in the competition of the next generation computing platform.

The core chip is controlled by people, and it is difficult for domestic mobile phones to break the high-end situation of Apple’s "hegemony". The phenomenon that Apple takes three-quarters of the profits of the whole industry will continue to be staged.

Situation in Russia and Ukraine: The Ukrainian army is accused of using the long-range missiles of the United States and Britain to attack Russia for the first time.

According to foreign media reports, sources said that on the 20th local time, Ukraine launched as many as 12 British "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles into the Kursk region of Russia. The day before, Uzbekistan used the American Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to attack targets in Russia for the first time. On the same day, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree approving the updated nuclear doctrine. The outside world is worried that the tension in the Ukrainian crisis will escalate again.

Ukraine used US-British missiles to attack Russia for the first time?

According to CNN, on the 20th local time, Ukraine launched a series of "Shadow of the Storm" cruise missiles provided by Britain to targets in Russia for the first time.

According to reports, on the same day, a Russian military blogger posted photos of "Storm Shadow" missile fragments on social media Telegram, claiming that 12 missiles were launched into the Russian Kursk region.

The blogger said that the photo of the missile fragments was taken in marino village, Okursk region, about 35 miles from the Ukrainian border, and the words "storm shadow" were engraved on the fragments.

Image source: Screenshot of CNN report

Trevor Bauer, a former US Army explosive ordnance disposal technician, confirmed that the debris in the photo came from the Storm Shadow missile. However, CNN said that it was impossible to confirm whether the photos on the Telegram were taken on November 20.

The report pointed out that Britain and France had previously provided "Storm Shadow" missiles to Ukraine for use in Ukraine. The missile has a range of about 250 kilometers, which is slightly shorter than that of American ATACMS.

In addition, The Times quoted sources as saying that the ban on Ukraine’s use of the British "Shadow of the Storm" missile on Russian territory has probably been lifted.

Up to now, Ukraine and Britain have not commented on this.

According to RIA Novosti, on the 19th local time, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that at 3: 25 am on the 19th, the Ukrainian army attacked a facility in Bryansk State in Russia with six American-made "Army Tactical Missile System" (ATACMS) missiles. Missile fragments landed in a military facility in Bryansk State, causing a fire, and no casualties were caused.

"If long-range missiles are used from Ukrainian territory to Russian territory, it means that they are controlled by American military experts. We will regard this as a new stage of the Western war against Russia and respond accordingly." Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said.

Lavrov also said that the actions of the Ukrainian army have escalated the situation. He urged the United States and its western allies to learn about the updated Basic Policy of the Russian Federation’s Nuclear Deterrence Countries.

The Ukrainian crisis has further escalated?

"The Ukrainian crisis that has lasted for 1000 days is in a turbulent period." Reuters said that with President-elect Trump returning to the White House in January, 2025, Ukraine and European countries are full of doubts about American aid to Ukraine.

The report pointed out that for several weeks, Russia has been signaling to the United States and its allies that if they allow Ukraine to use missiles provided by the West to attack Russian territory in depth, then Moscow will regard it as a "major upgrade."

According to Ukrainian media reports, on the afternoon of the 20th local time, Ukraine issued an air defense warning, asking people to seek asylum because of the "missile threat", which caused widespread panic.

At the same time, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine issued a security alert, saying that the Embassy received the news that it might suffer a "major air strike" on the 20th. Due to careful consideration, the Embassy was temporarily closed.

According to Euronews, on the same day, the embassies of Italy, Greece and Spain in Ukraine announced that they would be closed on the same day due to the risk of attack. Although the French embassy remains open, it urges its citizens to be cautious.

On the 18th, local time, Hungarian Foreign Minister Jardot said that "the ideas of the political elites who supported the war in the United States and Europe are becoming more and more divorced from reality, and it seems that they are launching the last desperate and fierce attack", which is extremely dangerous and "the real threat of the third world war is approaching step by step".

Provide a new choice for developing countries to modernize.

Core Tip The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s entering a new era "means that Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s roads, theories, systems and cultures are constantly developing, expanding the way for developing countries to move toward modernization, providing new choices for countries and nations in the world who want to speed up their development and maintain their independence, and contributing to the solution of human problems with China wisdom and China’s plan". This judgment broke the development theorem imposed by the west on the whole world, declared the bias of "modernization = westernization" and revealed the world historical significance of the Chinese modernization road.

First, the certainty of modernization direction and the selectivity of modernization road

It is certain that the development direction of modernization cannot be bypassed; But the road to modernization is optional, which is also certain. Western-style modernization is only one version of modernization, not the only version, and cannot be fixed on one statue. Every country should take the road of modernization with its own characteristics according to its own national conditions.

How to realize modernization? What kind of modernization will be realized? China had his own independent judgment from the beginning, and never simply copied the western development model, never entered the historical track set by the west, and never simply applied the western development logic. Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "Our modernization is Chinese-style. The socialism we are building is socialism with China characteristics. " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader also emphasized that "we are willing to learn from all the achievements of human civilization, but we will not copy the development model of any country". To modernize China, we must take the road of China, which is the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Both history and reality tell us that only socialism can save China and only Socialism with Chinese characteristics can develop China. This is the conclusion of history and the choice of the people. The history since the Opium War has proved that socialism is the only feasible and good way, and only socialism and no other socialism can save China. The history of the socialist construction period proves that the traditional planned economy mode will stifle the vitality of socialism, and China and socialism cannot be developed by taking the closed and rigid old road. The historical lessons of the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe prove that connecting with the West is not the development direction of socialism, and taking the evil road of changing the flag will definitely ruin socialism; Practice since the reform and opening up has proved that Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road is the only way to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The road to modernization with China’s characteristics is not a side road divorced from the world development trend, but a development road with "socialism" as its background, "China’s characteristics" as its symbol and "modernization" as its goal. China’s independent road is a great pioneering work completely different from the western model. It got rid of the western institutional framework, political model and civilization system, the development logic of colonization, expansion, plunder and confrontation, the historical fate of dependent development and gradient evolution, and successfully rose by "going its own way", opening a more magnificent road to modernization.

Second, the success of China means the success of the modernization road independently opened up.

Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening-up, China’s development achievements have been amazing in the world, and it has completely got rid of the danger of being expelled from football. From a backward agricultural country to the second largest economy in the world; From the era of "foreign font size" to the most complete industrial chain in the world; From the lack of food and clothing for the people to the successful leap from low-income countries to middle-income countries; From the shortage of materials to the top spot in global trade in goods; From isolation to leading the development direction of globalization, China experienced phoenix nirvana and completed a magnificent turn from the edge of the world to the center of the world stage. In terms of wealth growth, China has created a miracle in the history of human development in the past few decades.

The success of China means the success of China’s modernization road and Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s success. This "China characteristic" stems from the value standpoint of Marxism, from the value pursuit of socialism, from the high-quality genes of traditional culture, from the active sublation of western-style modernization, and ultimately from Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s historical practice, which is externalized in Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road, theoretical system, system and culture. It can be said that if China didn’t dare to question the uniqueness and supremacy of western-style modernization, reflect on its disadvantages and write the "China version", human beings might really sink into the powerful thinking inertia of "western centralism" and lose the ability of independent thinking and independent towards the distant.

The success of China’s independent modernization road has great and far-reaching world significance, which has reversed the prestige of socialism in the world and held high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the world. It has shaken the supreme position of the development model supported by western experience, and also shaken the universal position of institutional civilization and values based on western experience, rewritten the development formula of "modernization = westernization", and injected confidence and confidence into the vast number of developing countries to follow their own path.

Third, the world civilization effect of Chinese modernization: the bankruptcy of western centralism

The world today is facing unprecedented changes, one of which is the bankruptcy of western centralism. Western centralism is the philosophical basis of the exportable theory of western model, and the final conclusion of history, the theory of civilization superiority and the universal theory of value can all be said to be variants or external manifestations of western centralism.

The bankruptcy of western centralism and the end of the final conclusion of history is a chain reaction caused by the revival of China, and it is also a major change related to the reconstruction of world civilization order. It is an indisputable fact that China Road has succeeded, and it is more legendary and successful than the experience of the rise of the West. Moreover, the key point is that we have taken the road and constructed the system model and values that are not recognized by the west in a way that is not recognized by the west. It took decades to take the road of the west for hundreds of years, paid less than the west and achieved greater results than the west. This proves that the modernization road in the west is by no means the only way for mankind to achieve modernization, the privatization model in the west is by no means the only choice, and the form of value realization in the west is by no means a universal scheme. The western centralism that has ruled the world history for hundreds of years is facing the crisis of bankruptcy and the choice of exit for the first time.

For hundreds of years, no developing country has succeeded in getting closer to the center of the world stage, and China is the only exception. Because of China’s success, it proves that the western centralism is wrong, the final conclusion of history is wrong, the theory of superiority of civilization is untenable, and the theory of universal values is unworkable; It proves that China’s system is superior, China’s development model is effective, and China’s civilization system and values are advanced.

Of course, our firm road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence and cultural confidence are not based on the premise of belittling the West. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said that we will not "import" foreign models or "export" China models, and we will not ask other countries to "copy" China’s practices. This is the philosophical logic contained in Chinese modernization, and this is the philosophical wisdom of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people.

Fourth, the China Road has expanded the way for developing countries to move toward modernization.

Modernization is an unfinished business, and developing countries are still on the way to modernization. How to take the road to modernization? This has become a major test for the vast number of developing countries. Looking around the world, the west is the first to complete the task of modernization and enjoy the fruits of modernization. The west seems to have mastered the only key to open the door to modernization. It has become an irresistible temptation for many developing countries to worship the west as a teacher, move closer to the west and "take the road of the west". Western countries also claim to be the originator of modernization, frequently pointing out other countries’ modernization.

Since modern times, almost all developing countries have been unable to get rid of the dilemma of "attachment" or "decoupling" in their modernization. Faced with the strong inertia of western development logic, the strong dominance of western powers and the attractive achievements of western modernization, the vast number of developing countries either choose dependent development or choose poverty after decoupling. "Attachment" can bring development, but it will lose autonomy; "decoupling" can bring autonomy, but it will lose development. Do developing countries really have no choice between "attachment" and "decoupling"? China told the world with his own practical actions that China has neither "decoupled" from the West nor attached to it; Not only choose to integrate into the international community, but also not slide to the western development track; It not only boldly draws lessons from the achievements of civilization in capitalist countries, but also does not lose its autonomy. Otherwise, it is impossible for China to avoid the economic crisis in the capitalist world again and again, to be "immune to it" in the frequent economic, political and social crises in the western world, and to successfully get rid of the fate of "vassal" in the process of leaping over and catching up and rapidly rising for 40 years.

China’s modernization road emphasizes practice first and prospering the country by hard work; Emphasize road self-confidence and strategic determination; Emphasize the views of the masses and take the people as the center; Emphasize emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts; Emphasize internal reform and get rid of chronic diseases; Emphasize opening to the outside world and integration into the world; Emphasize independence and self-reliance; Emphasize the advantages of system and governance … These are development wisdom. The successful opening of China Road has expanded the way for developing countries to move towards modernization, provided new choices for countries and nations in the world who want to speed up their development and maintain their independence, and contributed China wisdom and China’s plan to solving human problems.
