Vice President of the Sino-French Cultural Forum: The changing attitude of the Chinese is surprising
In an interview with Kang Hui on the mutual learning program, French friend Jiayue shared her experience in China. As Vice-President of the French side of the Franco-Chinese Cultural Forum, she recalls an experience that surprised her: she was invited to dinner that night, without having to make a reservation in advance.
"When I first came to China, I was taken aback by the speed with which I was invited to dinner that night or the next day, because in France we don't like any changes," Jia Yue said. She went on to share, "But in China, there are changes every day, and it's a very fun, playful, and innovative attitude. Time is a human problem, and the Chinese and the French can complement each other. ”
In contrast, in some Western countries, meals are often booked well in advance.
Jiayue's insights not only reflect the exchange and collision between Chinese and French cultures, but also inspire thinking about cultural differences and commonalities.
In the age of globalization, it is essential to respect and understand the differences of different cultures. Through mutual learning and integration, we can jointly promote the progress and development of human civilization.
Yiwu doctors set up stalls part-time: life is colorful
Yiwu, a vibrant city in Zhejiang Province, has recently sparked a discussion about a doctor named Mr. Wang. In addition to his busy medical work, Dr. Wang has chosen a different way of life – working part-time as a stall.
Since he started setting up his stall half a year ago, Dr. Wang has lived a full and happy life. In addition to his busy medical work, he used his spare time to find another joy of life in the hustle and bustle of the night market. "It's a pleasure to do something you love in your free time," he said. ”
Why set up a stall? Dr. Wang explains, "Although the profession of a doctor is noble, the work is fast-paced and stressful. Setting up a stall is a way for me to relax and adjust, and at the same time, it can add some extra income. He revealed that his stall mainly deals in some special snacks and handicrafts, which are deeply loved by the public.
Talking about the earnings, Dr. Wong modestly says, "The daily turnover is not too high, but it is enough for me. Importantly, the process made me feel happy and satisfied. According to him, the daily turnover is about 1,500 yuan, which is already a good result for him.
Dr. Wang's story is a good story in Yiwu, and he uses his actions to interpret that "life is not only about what is in front of you, but also about poetry and distance in the distance". His experience tells us that no matter what kind of profession you are in, you should never give up your love and pursuit of life.
At the same time, his part-time stall experience also provides valuable inspiration and reference for those who are eager to find a new way of life.
The evaporation of the market value of Microcolan has attracted attention
Since hitting an all-time high in May 2021, the share price of "Cheese No. 1" Microcolando has continued to decline, with its market value shrinking sharply by 36.5 billion yuan, and is currently only about 6.83 billion yuan. As a major shareholder, Mengniu also suffered a floating loss of at least 2 billion yuan.
Behind the evaporation of this market value is the sharp decline in the performance of Microcolando in recent years. The 2023 financial report shows that its revenue decreased by 16.16% year-on-year, and its net profit was even more bleak, with the net profit attributable to the parent company and the net profit attributable to the parent after deducting non-profits falling by as much as 53.9% and 89.63% respectively.
For the first time, Microcolando suffered a double decline in revenue and net profit, and the revenue of its main business, cheese, was particularly affected, and the revenue of the business segment will fall in 2023. The company simply attributed the decline to market and raw material changes, while the market and investors are keeping a high interest in the real cause.
Microcolando, once a leader in the cheese industry, has been a wake-up call for the market to see if it can regain its former glory. In addition to external factors, there are also concerns about whether there are problems with the company's internal management and strategic decisions.
In the future, the market and investors are concerned about how Microcolando will cope with the difficulties and resume growth, and the adjustment of Mengniu as a major shareholder has also attracted much attention. Enterprises should be aware of market changes and fierce competition to avoid the recurrence of similar dilemmas.

A: Yes. The personal account of the employee's medical insurance can be handled as a "family mutual aid" and authorized to be used by parents, spouses and children.
Q: How do I apply for "Family Aid"?
A: It can be handled through online channels such as the National Medical Insurance Service Platform APP, the WeChat official account of the local medical insurance department, or the offline medical insurance hall.
Q: Can I use Family Aid as long as I am a family member?
A: No, it's not. Only family members who have applied for "family aid" can enjoy the mutual aid policy.
Q: After applying for "Family Mutual Aid", whose medical insurance card should I use to purchase medical treatment?
A: The patient's health insurance card must be used. It is the money in the personal account that is sold, not the health insurance card itself.
Q: What happens if I don't use my health insurance card?
A: Illegal acts will lead to the loss of the medical insurance fund, and even constitute a violation of the law.
Q: If the elderly at home have limited mobility, can my children help them buy medicine on their behalf?
A: Yes. However, it is necessary to provide the identity of the principal and the trustee, and the medical insurance card of the person taking the drug must be used when purchasing the drug.
The above answers hope to help you better understand the regulations on the use of medical insurance cards and avoid misunderstandings and violations.

Gold artwork missing: Banks and courts respond to Ms. Li's recovery to no avail
Ms. Li, the former chairman of Yunnan Asia-Pacific Dragon Gold Industrial Co., Ltd., recently revealed that her gold artwork worth hundreds of millions of yuan disappeared in the custody of the Shilin Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and has not been recovered for more than ten years. Banks and local courts responded.
Complaint: Gold artwork disappeared from the bank and recovery was fruitless
Ms. Li introduced that in 2001, the company leased a house from the Shilin Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Kunming City, Yunnan Province, and rebuilt the exhibition hall at its own expense to display the golden camellia. In 2007, after the court enforced it, the four Camellia trees were handed over to the bank for safekeeping, but their whereabouts are still unknown. These four camellia trees were once worth hundreds of millions, and one of them was exhibited at the 1999 Kunming World Horticultural Exposition.
Lawyer: The court execution record shows that it was handed over to the bank for safekeeping
Ms. Li's lawyer, Qiu Pingshun, said that the 2007 court execution record showed that the four camellia trees had been handed over to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's Shilin Branch for safekeeping, and Ms. Li was also present and signed for acceptance. However, the party to the lawsuit filed by the Shilin Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, "Kaiyuan Li", does not exist.
The court's response: Efforts are underway
The president of the Shilin branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the legal department of the Yunnan branch both said that the matter has been adjudicated, and it is inconvenient to disclose more details. The Shilin Yi Autonomous County People's Court said that efforts were being made and suggested that Ms. Li go to the court for details.
Ms. Li pursued several attempts to recover without results, and she could not afford the huge legal costs, and the matter reached an impasse again. For this missing gold artwork, the parties and all sectors of society are looking forward to a reasonable solution.
Tsinghua University's celebration refutes rumors: patriotism and dedication are eternal, and the spiritual background remains unchanged
Recently, Tsinghua University celebrated its 113th anniversary. However, some online videos and photos claimed that "the national flag was missing" and "the students' spirits were sluggish" during the Tsinghua University Celebration Parade, which caused some controversy. In response to this matter, the official WeChat public account of the Tsinghua University Student Reporter Group issued an article on the 8th to refute the rumors, saying that the videos and photos were patchwork, calling on everyone not to believe it, and at the same time emphasizing that patriotic dedication is the eternal spiritual background of Tsinghua people.
The article refuting rumors pointed out that Tsinghua University's anniversary began with a flag-raising ceremony, and the five-star red flag was raised in front of the main building. Before the parade, the marching band played the "March of the Volunteers" in the playground of the Tokyo University. In addition, the five-star red flag is also flying all over the campus. The video circulated online showed an audio replacement of the music performed by the military band on the parade and the use of filters.
Questioning the band's poor dress and students' lack of spirit, Tsinghua explained that most of the bandmate's members were non-professional and joined the parade out of love. The white jersey worn was designed in 2009 to show the spirit of the military band in the new era, and designed a cute cartoon character. In addition, the marching band parade is just one of the student-organized celebrations during the school celebration.
In addition to the parade, Tsinghua University held a variety of student activities on the day of the anniversary, such as commemorative conferences, academic forums, art exhibitions, university celebration carnivals, sports events, and department visits. These activities demonstrate Tsinghua's rich history and humanistic spirit over the past 113 years. Tsinghua once again emphasized that patriotism and dedication are the eternal spiritual background of Tsinghua people, and the original intention of Tsinghua and Tsinghua people has never changed.
