  Zhongxin. com, Hangzhou, October 5 th Title: Folk paper-cutting craftsmen: As long as children like it, they are not afraid of successors.

  "Red ‘ Shou ’ In the word, there are not only national defense elements such as warships and aircraft carriers, but also elements closely related to people’s lives such as high-speed rail and high-rise buildings. These are the achievements made in the 70 years since the founding of New China. " Facing a hollowed-out paper-cut work named Shou, Fang Jianguo, a 65-year-old paper-cut craftsman in Qiantang, Hangzhou, said that it was his personal gift to the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.

  Paper-cutting, also called paper cutting, is one of the oldest folk arts of the Han nationality in China. It was invented in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, with a history of more than 2,000 years. This is also the craft that Fang Jianguo insisted on for most of his life. Although fewer and fewer people cut paper, he is not too worried. "As long as children like it, they are not afraid of no one."

  Since the 1980s, Fang Jianguo has been cutting paper for nearly 40 years. He is the deputy secretary-general of Zhejiang Folk Art Research Paper-cut Branch and the secretary-general of Hangzhou Paper-cut Art Professional Committee, and he prefers to call himself a "folk paper-cut artist".

  Put on reading glasses, carve up and down with a carving knife, and sit still all day … … This is the normal state of Fang Jianguo’s creation.

  “‘ 28, stick grilles ’ In the past, during the Spring Festival, every household would put up various paper-cut patterns to express their wishes and blessings for a better life. As soon as the prosperous window grilles were put up, the taste of the year would be strong. " Fang Jianguo recalled that because his uncle was good at paper-cutting, the window grilles at home were particularly exquisite. "Once I saw my uncle’s work" My Aunt’s Head ",and I was immediately attracted by the works with both form and spirit. I not only became attached to paper-cutting, but I didn’t expect to cut it for a lifetime."

  All paper-cutting exhibitions must be present, imitate hard work as soon as they get home, and ask for advice from senior craftsmen humbly … … After several years of study, Fang Jianguo gradually formed a set of paper-cutting methodology of his own. According to its introduction, when creating a paper-cut work, it usually goes through eight steps, including element conception, data verification, composition, sketch, modification, finalization, paper engraving and final product.

  "Paper-cutting for nearly 40 years, the society is progressing, and my creative content is getting richer and richer. I am no longer limited to window grilles, ‘ Hi ’ Small works such as words, but reflect the changes of the times through paper-cut works and promote the positive energy of society. " In Fang Jianguo’s hands, a series of works combined with the theme of the times are "vividly on the paper", including not only the filial piety work "Family and filial piety first" which reflects the three generations’ washing of their elders’ feet, but also the paper-cut work "Welcome to Hangzhou" of G20 Hangzhou Summit which contains elements such as three pools printing the moon and Hangzhou city logo.

  "Paper-cut art is not achieved overnight, and it is a test of skill and patience. If you want to pass on this traditional China arts and crafts better, you must start from the doll. " He said.

  Nowadays, as a promoter of Qiantang paper-cut intangible cultural heritage, Fang Jianguo will go to schools, children’s palaces and other places in Hangzhou as a public paper-cut training teacher whenever he has time. In 2018 alone, he went to campuses and communities to teach folk paper-cutting techniques 36 times, with nearly 3,000 participants.

  "Every time I see children’s little faces full of interest, I see the hope of the future of traditional arts and crafts. As long as children like paper cutting ‘ Old foundation ’ Skills, I am not afraid of no one. " Fang Jianguo said. (Author Qian Chenfei Sun Niya)

Claiming that "the hair can be sold at a sky-high price" and "the master of success" were suspected of fraud and were investigated.

  "I am a magnet to attract money … …” In the venue of a hotel in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, more than 100 "students" from the audience shouted together with Yang Taoming, the "master of success" on the stage. In the student’s description, Yang Taoming claimed that he could sell a hair for 60,800 yuan.

  On April 16th, Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from the police that Yang Taoming, a "master of success", and his team had been investigated for fraud by Haishu Branch of Ningbo Public Security Bureau, Zhejiang Province, and more than 30 people had been detained by the police. According to the police handling the case of the Economic Investigation Brigade of Haishu Public Security Bureau, Yang Taoming is a pseudonym, and he only has a high school education.

  After claiming to transmit "cosmic energy", students can swallow torches and step on charcoal.

  On February 22nd, a training course entitled "Super Persuasion" led by Yang Taoming, a master of success, and sponsored by Zhejiang Attractive Culture Communication Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Attractive Company) was held in Ningbo, Zhejiang, with hundreds of participants.

  The company once published an article claiming that Yang Taoming is "a world-renowned speaker, an authority on the potential development of Chinese in the world, a best-selling author, a mentor for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the chairman of Attractive Culture Communication Co., Ltd., a piece of white paper can be sold for 40,000 yuan, a doll for 46,000 yuan, and a hair for 60,000 yuan … …”

  The article also said that Yang Taoming was promoted by the world’s top experts, which stimulated his potential, detonated his inner energy and changed his life.

  Another article, "Teacher Yang Tao (Tao) Ming started to register at the fire-fighting meeting in December, breaking through inner fears and inspiring unlimited potential! The article pointed out that the way for Yang Taoming to stimulate his potential is that after he passed on "cosmic energy" to the students, the students can swallow torches, female students chop boards, and step on hot coals barefoot … …

  Both articles are accompanied by an advertisement to sign up for the lecture of "Master of Success".

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily interviewed several students who had taken the Yang Taoming course. They all said, "These disguises are the beginning of a trap. He (Yang Taoming) only taught us how to brag and then followed his words ‘ Pull the head ’ To attract more people to attend classes. "

  Yang Xiao (a pseudonym) is a treasure mother. She attended Yang Taoming’s "Success Speech" for three consecutive days from February 22nd. Yang Xiao said that during these three days, nearly 700 students (including old students) participated, and the daily course time lasted from 9 am to 12: 30 pm.

  Yang Xiao said that the courses taught these days are mainly "10 steps of persuasion". In the process of sharing these contents, the other party will also be interspersed with many so-called success stories. There are "so-and-so earned 2,000 yuan a month before, and now he earns 100,000 yuan a month after he tried his best to attend my class" and "so-and-so immediately talked about a big bill of more than 1 million yuan after listening to the class" … … There will also be students talking about how successful they have become after signing up for courses in Yang Taoming.

  "He never talks about how to succeed, but keeps stressing ‘ After this man studied with me, he succeeded and became rich ’ 。” She said, "even if you talk about the content, it is only the basic marketing knowledge and politeness."

  Constantly selling credit cards to buy classes ranges from 5,800 yuan to 600,000 yuan.

  For the purpose of training courses, Yang Xiao thinks that it is to let students buy training courses in Yang Taoming. She said that the first afternoon, she was invited to the stage.

  "I didn’t know what I was going to do when I went to the stage. Later, I learned that it was originally necessary for us to swipe our cards to buy classes." She told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that after the students took the stage, the staff would lead the students under the stage and once again improve the recognition of the students on the stage. The "mentor" on the stage would also constantly emphasize that "as long as you sign up for my class, you have already succeeded. Half", so that the students on the stage will always be excited and recognized, and constantly encourage them to swipe their cards to learn the following courses.

  Xiang Yang (a pseudonym) from Jiangsu is Yang Xiao’s fellow "students" and was assigned to different groups. She was introduced by a friend. She showed several live videos to the reporter of Beiqing Daily. In the video, the students were grouped and sat in the center of the venue, and a staff member stood by every few rows. Yang Taoming shouted on the stage, "Raise your hand if you have the courage to let everyone know!"

  Many people in the audience raised their hands and rushed straight to the stage. Others raised their hands and quickly put them down. At this time, the staff standing by came forward to persuade the "students" who had raised their hands to take the stage.

  "As long as you have the courage to come to power, you can increase your chances of success … …” Encouraged by the enthusiastic "students" on and off the stage, several people got on the stage.

  "Friends who are on stage today have a special reward." Yang Taoming said that he had a 7-day training in the near future, and the price was 70,000 yuan. "And friends who came to power today, I only charge you 30,000 yuan!"

  In the video, a student said that he had financial difficulties. Yang Taoming said to him, "We all know your situation. In the past, I had a student who wanted to attend a class, and then signed up with a credit card. Eight credit cards were maxed out. After listening to the class, he later succeeded." Under the contrast of the audience, the students on the stage had to promise to pay the money.

  Yang Xiao said that he was recommended a course of 5,800 yuan, and the course of 30,000 yuan the next day. After that, there were courses of 50,000 yuan and 140,000 yuan to choose from, among which the most expensive "one-to-one course" was as high as 600,000 yuan.

  Yang Xiao and Xiang Yang told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that on February 22nd, they saw about 30 people who bought a course with a credit card of 5,800 yuan, and there may be more than 20 people who bought a course with a credit card of 30,000 yuan on the 23rd, and several students bought a course with a credit card of 140,000 yuan privately. Yang Xiao said that there is an elder sister in her group, claiming that she also bought a successful course for her husband and daughter, which cost a total of 720,000 yuan.

  The two recalled that after experiencing the speech of the "Master of Success", the whole person’s brain and body were in a state of serious exhaustion. "We didn’t have time to think, just followed their emotions on the spot, and we didn’t have time to think about what we had learned. We either paid for it with the help of the team, or we stepped down despondently." Yang Xiao said, especially after getting out of that exciting and passionate environment, he realized the horror of this "speech". He said, "Some students in the audience will cry bitterly, and some will stand on the stool and cheer."

  Later, with the help of "Li Xu Anti-transmission and Fraud Prevention Team", she and several students reported the case to Ningbo police, believing that these training courses were suspected of pyramid selling and were harmful training.

  In April last year, Mr. He, the husband of Ms. Liu from Zhejiang, fell into a "lecture on success" in Yang Taoming, and has not returned since she left home.

  Ms. Liu said, "When he (my husband) went, he first paid a registration fee of 2,000 yuan, and later paid 60,000 yuan to those people by swiping a credit card." Ms. Liu told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that she reported the case when she found something was wrong, but after that, the couple quarreled every day because of this matter.

  By the end of September last year, Mr. He left home in a fit of pique, and so far he hasn’t come home. No matter how to persuade his family, it’s useless. After Ms. Liu sent him some information, all the contact information of Ms. Liu was blacked out. For those who advised him to return to his family, he left a sentence: "There are many kinds of people, I will filter them, I will absorb what is useful to me, and I will ignore what is useless. What about you, you are a person who will hit a person when he is down." And said, "I am very grateful to Teacher Yang".

  More than 30 "successful masters" and their team were arrested by the police for alleged fraud.

  "In fact, let us brainwash ourselves first." Mr. He, a former "disciple" of Yang Taoming, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that he originally had his own career, but later he was introduced to study in Yang Taoming because of operational difficulties. He was also brainwashed in the activity, and he paid the money in a muddle. He can learn the content, but how to "pull the head" through the script and guide the students to pay the money on stage.

  Later, Mr. He showed the contents of the script to the reporter of Beiqing Daily. The first article of the "Top Ten Success Rules of the Company" was "Company First, Teacher Yang First". The script described in detail the different reasons for dealing with different students and how to guide them to pay the money, and mentioned "gratitude" and "success" many times … … The number of words in the whole speech script is as high as 16 thousand words.

  "They verbally promised that as long as the head is pulled and the deal is made, it will give a certain cash back, or become a benchmark created by Teacher Yang. Now think about it, it is brainwashing and cheating! Teach us to brag and eat. " Mr. He said that many so-called Yang Taoming disciples were brainwashed into abandoning their homes and careers, constantly inventing success stories and frantically urging newcomers to pay.

  With the same experience, Ms. Zhang from Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, signed up for a course in Yang Taoming in order to lay a foundation for her own business, and paid tens of thousands of yuan in tuition fees on the spot. "In the future, every time we participated in the training, we were asked to pay in various ways. Later, I even mortgaged the property and paid a total of 240,000 yuan." Ms. Zhang said that after that, the only training Yang Taoming gave her was "pulling people’s heads".

  On April 16th, the reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that Yang Taoming and his team, the "master of success", have been investigated for fraud by Haishu Branch of Ningbo Public Security Bureau, Zhejiang Province, and more than 30 people have been detained by the police.

  According to the police handling the case of the Economic Investigation Brigade of Haishu Public Security Bureau, Yang Taoming is a pseudonym, and he only has a high school education. "At present, we are visiting victims all over the country to collect evidence. This stage will last for a long time, and the specific details of the case are not convenient to disclose." He said.

Chen Danyan: Recovering Our "National Tide at Sea"

"Since the 1960s, the light industrial products produced in Shanghai have experienced unprecedented prosperity in the next 30 years, just like the sudden arrival of midsummer, the irresistible bright sun."

In the memory of Chen Danyan, a Shanghai writer, once all China sneakers were the best-looking warrior in Shanghai, all China butterscotch was the most fragrant white rabbit in Shanghai, and all China quilts and quilts were more respectable and solid in Shanghai. Gradually, Phoenix brand bicycles replaced British Blue Ridge bicycles, Butterfly brand sewing machines replaced American Singer sewing machines, and Shanghai brand films replaced European and American Aikefa and Kodak. A foreigner will take home all the daily necessities he bought in Shanghai. The travel bag he uses is light and strong, with the skyline of the Bund printed on it. The bag is also from Shanghai and is called "Shanghai Brand".

It is these local brands in Shanghai that jointly safeguarded the decency of Chinese people’s daily life in the last century. Now it’s been 30 years, what about those old brands in Shanghai? Since the second half of 2019, Chen Danyan has successively investigated the history and present situation of 40 old brands of light industry in Shanghai, and found that some of them have opened up a new world in line with the trend of the times, some have disappeared in the years, and some have struggled to make ends meet. As a supplement to the new edition of Shanghai in Chen Danyan, this part is presented in an independent chapter.

On February 25th, "What’s Shanghai like in Chen Danyan?" The sharing meeting will be held in the library. Looking at Chen Danyan’s "Shanghai brand all-steel watch", "Butterfly brand sewing machine", "Phoenix brand bicycle" and "Jinxing brand TV set" released in PPT, the readers were full of enthusiasm. Some of them are Shanghai natives, and they talk about what they saw when they were children. Some came from other places, saying that her parents had recalled the scene of shopping in Shanghai when they got married, and the couple specially came to Shanghai to buy a pair of Shanghai brand watches when she got married; Some were German students who came to China in the 1970s, and he still brings back several big bags of white rabbit toffee at the request of German relatives and friends. Others even suggested that Shanghai should set up a museum of light industrial products, and display all the old objects produced in Shanghai one by one, so as to jointly commemorate the time when materials were scarce but practical and romantic.

The life of an era

In fact, these 40 old brands can be found in Chen Danyan’s works. In Shanghai’s nonfiction trilogy (Shanghai’s romance, Shanghai’s golden branches and jade leaves, Shanghai’s legacy of beauty) and the Bund’s nonfiction trilogy (The Bund: Images and Legends, The Maze of Public Gardens, Becoming a Peace Hotel), Chen Danyan intentionally or unintentionally left many detailed and accurate information about objects.

For example, The Bund: Images and Legends published in 2008 wrote: "Her fiance bought a full set of high-quality household items in the Friendship Store for her family: Shanghai brand all-steel watch, Butterfly brand sewing machine, Phoenix brand bicycle and Venus brand TV set." Another example is: "Countless quilts with blue uniforms and red flowers are flying in the wind, and sometimes you can see the pure wool blanket of Phoenix brand, weaving a pattern of small flowers on all sides of a big flower group. That was the most conspicuous blanket of the year, because it was the blanket laid on the bed when Jinjiang Hotel received the President of the United States. " 

"When I first wrote these six books, I didn’t expect that one day, I would get to the bottom of these old Shanghai brands that appeared in the books. At that time, they were written in detail, mainly because they were non-fiction works and demanded more details than novels. When I did a good job of research and wrote a sentence of comments for them, I found that we could gain insight into the face of Shanghai living in that era. " Chen Danyan told The Paper that they are not only the material life of Shanghainese, but also the spirit of Shanghai.

In the process of investigation, she found Huang Mingxu, the former party secretary of Shanghai Pencil Factory No.2, to check the historical materials. Huang Mingxu is over the age of seventy, and he doesn’t know much about computers. However, he was very excited when he learned about Chen Danyan’s purpose, and told her that he would definitely help her, because no writer had ever asked him to know about the history of light industry in Shanghai-even though it was a glorious history.

Huang Mingxu is still the editor-in-chief of Shanghai Light Industry Chronicle, and he is in charge of tracing the history of Shanghai Light Industry. 

"Most of these old Shanghai brands emerged around the 1960s. At that time, everyone had a strong desire to contribute more to the construction of this country." Later, Chen Danyan discovered that there was an almost naive optimism, a kind of temperament of "let’s paddle" desperately. This spirit and temperament are shown in bright blue, red, yellow and changeable green. Especially for the use of green, grass green reminds people of the genuine trousers of teenagers in the 1970s, while gray green reminds people of the special green in the Shanghai Month brand.

"Shanghai is a city that maintains and respects daily life, but its spirit has always had the ideal of being one in the world and walking side by side with Britain and the United States." Chen Danyan said.

A simple and naive beauty

In Chen Danyan’s view, Shanghai’s light industrial products and handicrafts have actually provided a socialist city lifestyle in the long process of urbanization transformation in China. However, after the reform and opening up, the lifestyle brought by China’s own handicrafts and light industrial products, as well as people’s thinking and practice in daily life, gradually disappeared from the products provided by supermarkets and luxury goods markets all over the world.

Let’s talk about the "Shanghai bag" that is all the rage. With the gradual opening of the luggage market in 1990s, brands all over the world sold in Chinese mainland, and Shanghai brand bags were gradually discontinued. When Chen Danyan began to look for its trademark right, it found that "Shanghai Brand Bags" did not exist and could not register trademark patents. Later, she went to find its manufacturer, and also found the Shanghai Leather Luggage Factory, which was the most likely and should be the manufacturer in that year. But no one in the whole factory knew the production details, except that it was the planned economy era in Shanghai when this kind of bag was sold nationwide, and the Shanghai Light Industry Bureau sent orders to various factories in Shanghai for production, and the products were uniformly distributed and sold by the state. 

Many other old brands that have existed so far have also changed from the original "trendy benchmark" to "standard for middle-aged and elderly people". "At that time, the economic life was not developed, and the product first pursued practicality and durability, and then it was fashionable and beautiful." So she thought, is it possible to make those once popular products fashionable and beautiful, and make them become brands acceptable to everyone, especially young people?

In this way, Chen Danyan began his first attempt-redoing the bag printed with the word "Shanghai". In The Bund: Images and Legends, she once wrote about this kind of Shanghai brand bag: "The sketches of the skyline of the Bund buildings were printed on all kinds of artificial leather bags produced in Shanghai from 1960s to 1980s for the first time, and the word’ Shanghai’ was printed above the skyline. This style is simple, strong and durable, and it is equipped with zippered bags and travel bags. Because of its good quality, it is welcomed by Chinese. In the deep hinterland of China, it is a symbol of fashion. "

Chen Danyan’s new bag still uses the word "Shanghai", but it has made changes in shape and accessories to adapt to the current aesthetics, and has also made more explorations in material diversification. "When people see it at first sight, they will immediately feel that this is the bag my mother took when she was a child. This is the bag my father took when he was a child. There are very warm memories of our generation. I will think that when this bag is opened, it is the big steamed bread they brought back from the canteen, then the Reference News, and occasionally the white rabbit toffee. " 

"I think we can slowly leave the part of our lifestyle that has a common memory. They are urban heritages that are easier to disappear than buildings, but more likely to resonate. If we can do this, the lifestyle of this city is both economical and practical, as well as our simple and naive beauty. " She told the The Paper reporter, "I hope that our domestic products in Shanghai can return again and be regarded as the national trend by more young people. Only in this way can these old brands consciously adapt to the current aesthetics, not only satisfied with’ living’, but also pursuing’ living well’. " 

[Attachment] Notes made by Chen Danyan for Shanghai brand in Shanghai, Chen Danyan (part)

Shanghai brand watch

In July, 1955, the Shanghai Light Industry Bureau organized 58 masters in the watch industry in Shanghai to fight day and night for more than 50 days, and made 18 prototypes of fine horse and waterproof mechanical watches by hand, which should be regarded as the ancestor of China watches. In 1958, Shanghai Watch Factory officially established a factory and produced the first batch of Shanghai brand watches. On July 1st, 1958, Shanghai brand watches were listed in the third department store in Shanghai, and customers queued to buy them, which became a fashion in China for a while. In the late 1960s, the technicians of the watch factory selected a word "Shang" and a word "Hai" from Mao Zedong’s handwriting, and put them together into a hair style. This "Shanghai" trademark has been in use ever since. In the 1960s, Chinese, who wore a watch, had a Shanghai brand watch flashing "self-reliance" on every four wrists. 

Seagull license camera

In the early 1960s, China’s national defense, public security, news, medical care, scientific research, sports and other fields urgently needed domestic advanced SLR cameras. In the case of a rather weak industrial base, Shanghai Camera Factory was ordered to successfully develop the first advanced SLR camera in China-Shanghai DF-7 in 1964. As the first advanced SLR camera in China, Seagull camera has been well-known at home and abroad since 1960s. In that era when food and entertainment were scarce, owning a seagull license camera could make you the coolest person in Shanghai. 

Phoenix bicycle

Phoenix bicycle originated from Tongchang bicycle shop, the first bicycle shop in China in 1897, with a history of one hundred years. In May 1958, Shanghai No.3 Bicycle Factory was established, and the brand was born in the late 1950s. In the process of development, its technology is mainly independent research and development, pursuing innovation. In 2010, we reformed the system, built our own production base, and built a perfect production and supply system. Since the trademark "Phoenix" was marked on January 1, 1959, nearly 200 million consumers around the world have chosen Phoenix bicycle products. 

Butterfly sewing machine

In 1927, China’s first domestic sewing machine was born in Xiechang Sewing Machine Factory, named "Red Lion Brand". In 1940, "Red Lion" was renamed "Golden Lion". In 1946, the "Golden Lion Brand" was renamed as "Invincible Brand", which means "Beating the invincible hand in the world". In 1966, in order to avoid the suspicion of "four old" and to unify the names of Chinese and English trademarks in domestic and foreign trade, "Invincible Brand" was renamed "Butterfly Brand". In the 1970s and 1980s, it was a great honor for anyone to have a butterfly or bee sewing machine, and they were also the most important dowry for a married woman. 

Jinxing brand color TV

Jinxing brand color TV is a famous brand product of the former Shanghai TV Machine Factory (now Shanghai Radio and Television Group Co., Ltd.), which once had quite high praise and popularity. In 1978, the state approved Shanghai TV Machine Factory to introduce the first color TV production line in China. In October 1982, the color TV production line was officially completed, producing Jinxing brand color TV. Since then, Venus, as a landmark product in Shanghai, has won various national honors. In 2000, Jinxing brand color TV was eliminated in the market competition. In 2003, Jinxing brand color TV stopped production.

Baiyu toothpaste

Baiyu toothpaste is the oldest domestic toothpaste sold in the market so far, with a history of nearly 90 years, which is produced by Shanghai Toothpaste Factory. Its predecessor was China Chemical Industry Society founded in 1912. The first toothpaste in China-Samsung brand toothpaste is produced by this factory. In 1967, it was changed to Shanghai Toothpaste Factory, which is the birthplace of China Toothpaste Industry. Toothpastes with different names were produced all over China in 1950s, and most of them were obtained from Shanghai Toothpaste Factory. 

Taikang yellow card spicy soy sauce

At the end of 19th century and the beginning of 20th century, the use of spicy soy sauce was extended from western food to other foods in Shanghai. Spicy soy sauce is used in fried pork chops in Shanghai western food and in Luo Songtang. Local food, such as raw fried steamed bread, ribs rice cake and dry fried hairtail, is sometimes dipped in spicy soy sauce. In 1933, Meilin Canning Co., Ltd. first produced spicy soy sauce in Shanghai, using Meilin brand Golden Shield trademark; In 1960, the spicy soy sauce product line of Meilin Canning Co., Ltd. was handed over to Taikang Food Factory for production, renamed as "Shanghai Spicy Soy Sauce" and changed to Jinji brand trademark. In 1990, the Golden Rooster brand of Taikang Factory was changed to Taikang Yellow Card and Taikang Blue Card. Taikang spicy soy sauce is still produced and sold in Shanghai. 

Sullivan cookies from Yimin food factory

The amount of unpaid blood donation has increased five times in 19 years, and China’s blood safety supply ranks among the top in the world.

  China Net News June 13 (Reporter Dong Xiaodi) From January to May 2018, China donated 5.965 million blood without compensation, and the amount of blood collected was 2,065 tons, up by 3.6% and 5.2% respectively compared with the same period of last year, of which 438,000 platelets were collected by machine, and 713,000 blood was collected for treatment, up by 7.6% and 10% respectively compared with the same period of 2017.

  Zhou Zhongqiang, deputy director of National Health Commission Medical Administration and Hospital Authority, said in Beijing on the 12th: "This year marks the 20th anniversary of the implementation of China’s Blood Donation Law. In recent years, we have insisted on ‘ Open source, reduce expenditure and ensure safety ’ , to achieve the level of governance according to law, blood supply, blood safety and rational blood use ‘ Four promotion ’ 。”

  buildCovering the urban and rural blood station service system, the amount of blood donation has increased more than five times in 19 years.

  In 1998, China officially implemented the "Blood Donation Law" and established the system of unpaid blood donation in legal form. In the past 20 years, the number of unpaid blood donors nationwide has increased from 328,000 in 1998 to 14.59 million in 2017; The amount of blood donation increased from 800 tons in 1998 to 4956 tons in 2017, an increase of more than five times.

  Zhou Qiangqiang introduced that in recent years, governments at all levels have established a blood station service system covering urban and rural areas. By the end of 2017, there were 32 blood centers, 321 central blood stations and 99 central blood banks in China. There were 1,380 fixed blood collection points, an increase of 41.3% over 2012.

  "At present, China’s blood support capacity can basically meet clinical needs. In the next step, we must further improve the blood safety and the level of clinical rational blood use, and strive to achieve a blood donation rate of 15/1000 population by 2020, and 100% of clinical blood comes from voluntary blood donation. " Zhou qiangqiang said.

  Full coverage of nucleic acid detection in blood stations and blood transfusion transmission of key infectious diseases have been basically blocked.

  As a rare resource related to national security, the level of blood safety has always been concerned, and blood screening and testing has become the key link of blood safety supply. At present, China’s blood testing mainly includes transaminase, hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, HIV antibody and nucleic acid testing, which has been in line with international standards, and some large blood centers have basically realized the automation of blood testing and preparation and processing.

  Since 2011, China has carried out nucleic acid testing. According to the data provided by National Health Commission, the "window period" of detection of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus has been shortened by about 50%, 82% and 20% respectively.

  "In April this year, Xizang Autonomous Region Blood Center independently carried out blood nucleic acid testing, and China achieved full coverage of blood station nucleic acid testing, which was carried out in only 24% countries in the world," Zhou Qiangqiang pointed out. "China has established a blood quality management system covering the whole process of blood collection and supply, basically blocking the spread of key infectious diseases such as AIDS through blood transfusion. The 2017 World Health Organization report shows that China’s blood safety supply level ranks among the top in the world. "

  On June 12, 2018, Beijing Red Cross Blood Center, unpaid blood donors were taking advantage of the machine. China Net reporter Dong Xiaodi photo

  820,000 people have been commended for improving the incentive mechanism for voluntary blood donation in various places.

  In order to encourage the public to participate in voluntary blood donation, China has established a system of recognition and reward for voluntary blood donation, and every two years, voluntary blood donors with a cumulative blood donation of more than 4000 ml are commended. Up to now, 820,000 people have won the award, and this year’s 2016-2017 voluntary blood donation commendation is expected to be about 390,000 people.

  Zhou Qiangqiang introduced that the "Blood Donation Law" stipulates that unpaid blood donors have the right to use blood without compensation. Shanghai, Jiangsu, Guangdong and other places stipulate that blood donors can give priority to blood use, and spouses and immediate family members also enjoy corresponding preferential policies for blood use according to local regulations.

  In addition, incentives have been introduced in many places, such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which stipulate that blood donors who have won China’s unpaid blood donation award can enjoy the three-free policy, free of bus tickets, free of government-run park tickets, and free of hospital registration fees; Kunming, Yunnan, set up a donation and love scholarship fund to help poor college students who love public welfare to complete their studies.

  "In the next step, we should improve the service for blood donors, increase and rationally arrange blood donation points, improve service processes, and increase the comfort of blood donors in the process of blood donation; Simplify the blood expense reimbursement process and improve the satisfaction of blood donors. " Strong perimeter indicates.

  With the continuous improvement of blood utilization rate, the blood consumption of operating table decreased by 30%

  In terms of improving blood utilization rate, China has taken many measures, such as blood preparation, establishing blood emergency deployment mechanism, and strengthening clinical rational use of blood. In recent five years, the per capita blood consumption of discharged patients and operating tables in China has decreased by 20% and 30% respectively, and the proportion of autologous blood transfusion has increased by 30%, saving a lot of blood resources.

  Zhou Qiangqiang revealed that although China’s blood support ability can basically meet clinical needs, it is a "tight balance" state. The aging population, the increase in the number of older high-risk pregnant women brought about by the two-child policy, and the continuous increase in the amount of medical services brought about by the improvement of medical security have put forward higher requirements for the safety of blood supply.

  "In the next step, we will carry out a rational evaluation of clinical blood use based on a single disease, so as to minimize surgical blood use, accurately use clinical blood and maximize quality and efficiency; Guide medical institutions to carry out patient blood management, and establish individualized treatment programs for key groups such as high-risk pregnant women and patients with blood diseases; Guide blood stations to provide suitable blood varieties, including small packaged blood suitable for children’s treatment; Improve the service level of unpaid blood donation, expand the scale of fixed blood donors, and ensure ‘ Off-season ’ Blood security. " Zhou qiangqiang said.

Consumption upgrades, where does the money go? Where can consumption tap the potential?

  CCTV News:This year’s "Government Work Report" pointed out that it is necessary to promote the steady growth of consumption, and take measures to increase the income of urban and rural residents and enhance their spending power.

  In 2018, the total retail sales of consumer goods in China exceeded 38 trillion, and consumption became the "main engine" of economic growth for five consecutive years; In 2019, we will promote the formation of a strong domestic market, continuously release the potential of domestic demand, make up for shortcomings in services, and adapt to new demands. Consumption upgrades, where does the money go? Where can consumption tap the potential?

  News link:

  According to the preliminary accounting data of the National Bureau of Statistics, China’s GDP in 2018 was 90.03 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.6% over the previous year. The contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to GDP growth in the whole year was 76.2%, an increase of 18.6 percentage points over the previous year.

  Where does the consumption upgrade money go?

  Yang Chengzhang: Information, health, culture and tourism are the new consumption trends.

  Yang Chengzhang, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference: The proportion of digital consumption and information consumption is increasing, and a large amount of consumption is obtained through digital information. Healthy consumption and cultural consumption are also a trend of high-quality consumption. For example, it can be seen from a family of four generations that each level has its own consumption hotspots and consumption patterns, especially the elderly and children, who were relatively disadvantaged groups in consumption, but now these two groups are precisely places with great potential. On the whole, China’s consumption potential is still very large. The problem is how to release the potential, become the current consumption hotspot, and drive consumer demand, which is very important for our current economic growth.

  Crown: Engel coefficient innovation is low, "good life" becomes mainstream

  Wang Guan, financial commentator of Yangguang: Engel coefficient refers to the percentage of money spent by a person or a family on food, which accounts for the income of the whole family. In 1978, China’s Engel coefficient was 58%, and about 60% of Chinese’s money was spent on food. Last year, our Engel coefficient dropped to 28.4%, which is a very great achievement. Today, Chinese spends less than 30% on food.

  So where did the money go? It is understood that in 2018, the box office of Chinese movies reached about 60 billion yuan, while domestic tourism reached 5.5 billion, and outbound travel was close to 150 million. In other words, people have turned to cultural consumption, from traditional dietary consumption to more consumption that meets people’s needs for a better life.

  Where does the potential of consumption go?

  News link:

  According to the Ministry of Commerce, there are three major measures to promote consumption this year: First, promote urban consumption and promote consumption upgrading, including upgrading a number of pedestrian streets and optimizing the layout of convenience stores; The second is to expand rural consumption and promote agricultural products to enter the city and industrial products to the countryside; The third is to develop service consumption, optimize service supply, and focus on filling shortcomings such as old-age care services and domestic services.

  Yang Chengzhang: The consumption concept should be innovated when changing the consumption pattern.

  Yang Chengzhang, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference: The consumption concepts of different income groups are in the process of collision between the old and the new. For example, older people may not understand the moonlight clan born in 1980s and 1990s, because the traditional culture of China advocates frugality and housekeeping, so they should save money to live, not borrow money. But saving money to live is a way, and borrowing money to live is also a way. Saving money is to use the value created now in the future, and borrowing money to live is to have confidence in the future, so everyone’s consumption concept is changing, and there is still a lot of room for improvement here.

  In addition, consumption patterns should be constantly innovated. For example, a house should not only be large, but also comfortable. In some developed countries, although the house area is not large, the decoration is particularly particular. Therefore, we should follow the house to explore consumption, follow the car to explore consumption, follow the mobile phone to explore consumption, follow the high-speed rail to explore consumption and fully tap the consumption potential.

  Crown: Driving High-quality Employment by Consumption Upgrading Dongfeng

  Wang Guan, commentator of Yangguang Finance and Economics: It is very important to promote consumption in order to stabilize growth. Steady growth is actually to stabilize employment, and employment is the biggest livelihood.

  With stable employment and increased income, we will have confidence. We should take advantage of the east wind of consumption upgrading to promote high-quality employment. For example: B&B renovation. In some rural areas of Shandong and Zhejiang, the rebuilt homestay is even more expensive than a five-star hotel, and it brings a series of production work, such as water and electricity heating, pipeline design and construction of the whole appearance, and so on.

  In addition, how to develop and use the network online and how to publicize it have brought more detailed work needs, so with the consumption upgrading, the whole employment will be upgraded.

  Yang Chengzhang: Consumption is the stabilizer of economic growth.

  Yang Chengzhang, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference: Consumption is the stabilizer of current economic growth, because the contribution rate of consumption reaches 78%. At present, GDP growth in the world is on the decline, and it is still difficult for our external demand to increase substantially. What does China rely on under such circumstances? It depends on consumption. When consumption stabilizes, the economy will naturally stabilize. This year, the government’s series of policies focus on two points: one is consumption, and the other is private enterprises. The consumption potential is the greatest, because the population of 1.4 billion is the largest market.

  Crown: Seize the strategic opportunity period of consumption upgrading to promote the high-quality development of China economy.

  Wang Guan, financial commentator of Yangguang: Seize the strategic opportunity period of consumption upgrading and promote the high-quality economic development of China. In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, we have enjoyed huge dividends, and the domestic demand is unprecedented. Not only China, but also the whole world is very optimistic about this strong consumer demand, so our supply-side structural reform should keep up with this rhythm.

  Today, consumers in China have changed from buying cheap and affordable products to buying quality and brands. Under such circumstances, how can China’s economy reach a new level? We bid farewell to the shortage economy in the past and entered the quality economy today. To realize the high-quality development of China’s economy, we need a series of supporting measures. This issue deserves our long-term consideration.

Can any mice at home be infected with plague? Not in the epidemic area is generally not risky.

  On the evening of November 12, the Health and Health Committee of Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia and the Health and Health Committee of Chaoyang District in Beijing jointly announced that on November 12, two people in Sunite Zuoqi of Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia were diagnosed as confirmed cases of pneumonic plague through expert consultation. At present, the patient has been properly treated in relevant medical institutions in Chaoyang District, Beijing, and relevant prevention and control measures have been implemented. According to Health News, an industry newspaper in charge of National Health Commission, National Health Commission Emergency Office has arranged state-level experts to go to Inner Mongolia to guide the local tracing work and find out the source of infection and the route of transmission.

  Once the news was released, it caused widespread concern. Many citizens are worried: if there are mice at home, will they be infected with plague? The Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention answered this question on the official WeChat WeChat official account: If you are not in an epidemic area, there is generally little risk of infection, so citizens need not worry too much.

  There are no follow-up cases at present.

  "In addition to these two patients, there are no follow-up cases." Feng Zijian, deputy director of China CDC, told the media.

  Plague is a severe infectious disease, which is a special zoonotic disease in which rodents and fleas transmit Yersinia pestis to humans and animals. In China, plague is a Class A infectious disease stipulated in the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (there are only two Class A infectious diseases in China, and the other is cholera).

  The incubation period of plague is generally 1 to 6 days, and individual cases can reach 8 to 9 days. After being infected with Yersinia pestis, it can be clinically manifested as bubonic plague, pneumonic plague and septicemia plague. Bubonic plague is the most common, which usually manifests as fever and local lymph node enlargement, and the cure rate is high; Pneumonic plague is often characterized by high fever, cough, chest tightness, dyspnea and hemoptysis. Due to the urgent onset, the disease progresses rapidly, and if it is not treated in time, the mortality rate is high. The symptoms of septicemia plague are also serious and the prognosis is poor.

  The host animals carrying Yersinia pestis are mainly rodents such as rats and marmots. In the north of China, Citellus and Marmota are the main species, while Rattus flavipectus and Rattus norvegicus are the main species in the south. Beijing is not a natural focus, and Yersinia pestis does not exist in the natural environment and rodents.

  Plague cases are very rare

  In history, there have been three worldwide pandemics of plague, which was once called the "Black Death", causing serious losses to human life and health. Before the founding of New China, the plague epidemic in China was also very serious. After the founding of New China, the Chinese government attached great importance to the prevention and control of plague, and the number of cases dropped significantly. At present, plague is very rare in China, but it has not disappeared. There are cases of plague in Gansu, Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia.

  In Guangdong, from 1866 to 1952, plague was prevalent for 87 years, affecting 69 counties in the whole province (including Hainan Island and Beihai and Qinzhou, which are now Guangxi), with more than 486,000 deaths. Since 1953, no plague cases have been reported in Guangdong province, and great achievements have been made in plague prevention and control, and it has been resting for more than 66 years by 2019. However, with the increasing frequency of tourism and business exchanges, there is still the risk of imported cases.

  The general risk of infection is not great.

  However, the public need not panic. Plague is an ancient bacterial infectious disease and can be treated with a variety of effective antibiotics in clinic. If patients can see a doctor early and get standardized and effective treatment, the cure rate is very high. Suspicious contacts can also avoid getting sick by taking preventive medicine.

  Many citizens are worried that if there are rats in my house, will they be infected with the plague? In fact, mice usually need rat fleas as a medium to infect humans, and direct contact with infected mice also has the opportunity to be infected. If you are not in an epidemic area, the risk of infection is generally small, so don’t worry too much. However, if there are more mice in the house, it will cause some other diseases such as epidemic hemorrhagic fever. It is suggested to do indoor hygiene and eliminate mice.

  In addition, if citizens suddenly develop fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes or dyspnea, cough and/or bloody sputum, they should seek medical treatment immediately (people who have traveled in plague-endemic areas should inform medical staff of their travel history). Self-medication, including the use of antibiotics, should be avoided unless diagnosed by medical personnel.

  interlinkage

  1. What are the main routes of transmission?

  The main transmission routes of plague include vector transmission, contact transmission and droplet transmission. In natural foci, vector transmission is the most important mode of transmission, and fleas are the main media for spreading plague. Fleas parasitic on infected animals can cause human infection after being infected with plague bacteria and then biting people. Contact transmission refers to the infection caused by bacteria entering the body through skin surface wounds or mucous membranes when people come into contact with infected animals during slaughter, skinning and meat eating, or when they come into contact with excreta and secretions of plague patients. In addition, the respiratory secretions of patients with pneumonic plague contain a large number of Yersinia pestis, and the germs released by patients during breathing and coughing can form droplets and suspend in the air for a short time, which can also cause infection when others inhale.

  2. How to do personal protection?

  Good personal hygiene habits are the most effective measures to prevent various infectious diseases, including plague. At present, Beijing residents don’t need to take special personal protective measures, but they should maintain good personal hygiene habits, such as washing their hands frequently, trying to avoid going to crowded places, and wearing masks in time when going to medical institutions or individuals with fever, cough and other related symptoms.

  If you suspect that you have had contact with the case, you can go to self-observation, or take the initiative to report to the local disease control department and get professional guidance. Once you have symptoms such as fever and cough, you should seek medical advice in time.

  When traveling, minimize contact with wild animals, do not tease marmots with unknown health, prevent flea bites, reduce body exposure by using repellent, avoid being bitten by fleas, and do not hunt and eat wild animals without permission. (Yangcheng Evening News reporter Fu Changfeng Xixi correspondent Yue Kangxin)

The chairman of Guangxi Yicheng Investment Company took bribes of 4.93 million yuan and donated 500,000 yuan to his hometown.

On August 20th, Feng Rong Zhen was sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment by Fangchenggang Intermediate People’s Court for gambling. @ Guangxi News Network

Fangchenggang, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, with its back to the southwest and facing Southeast Asia, has experienced rapid economic development and rapid urban construction in recent years with its special geographical advantages along the coast. With the large-scale development of urban construction, corruption has also been quietly bred. Feng Rong Zhen, former chairman and general manager of Fangchenggang Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Urban Investment Company), embarked on the road of corruption in the process of urban road construction. Feng Rong Zhen’s bribery case, which was investigated and prosecuted by Fangchenggang City Procuratorate, was recently pronounced by the court in the first instance. Feng Rong Zhen was sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment for accepting bribes of 4.93 million yuan and confiscated 500,000 yuan of personal property.

The road has been transformed into a "road to collect money"

Beibu Gulf Avenue (formerly Xinggang Avenue) in Fangchenggang City is the main road of the city. It comes out of the toll station in Fangchenggang City and directly enters Beibu Gulf Avenue. In order to meet the needs of urban development, in 2010, Fangchenggang Municipal Government decided to completely transform the original Xinggang Avenue to improve the overall taste of the city.

Fangchenggang City Investment Company is a wholly state-owned enterprise invested and established by the municipal government. Its business scope mainly includes: construction investment and management of urban infrastructure projects, comprehensive development of real estate, wholesale and retail of building and decoration materials, nursery stock management and greening project undertaking, etc. It is also the owner of the above-mentioned Xinggang Avenue reconstruction project. Feng Rong Zhen, the chairman and general manager of the company, holds the important decision-making power in the construction, project payment, completion acceptance, project settlement and other aspects of the project, and is of course the object of public relations of many bosses of the project construction party.

In two blocks of road reconstruction project from Yuluoling to Daoshuiao on Xinggang Avenue, a construction engineering company is the contractor, and Ma is the manager of the contractor. Feng Rong Zhen and Ma know each other because of their business ties. In order to get Rong Zhen’s attention, Ma often sends some gifts to bring them closer together.

One night in May 2011, Ma called Feng Rong Zhen and said that he would send some tea, and agreed to meet him at Taoyuan Street in the port area. Rong Zhen drove to Taoyuan Street and stopped. When Ma saw that Rong Zhen’s car arrived, he came to Rong Zhen’s car with a schoolbag and said, "Mr. Feng, this is the tea I gave you." Say that finish and left. Holding this heavy schoolbag, Feng Rong Zhen knew it well. When he opened it, he found that there was RMB cash in 100 yuan denomination, and each bundle was bound with plastic tape, making a total of 1 million yuan in cash.

Why did Ma send 1 million yuan in cash? There is not much communication between them. Afterwards, Feng Rong Zhen said: Maybe because I am the chairman and general manager of the city investment company, I will send money to me in order to get my care in the construction, project payment, completion acceptance and project settlement of the project. However, Ma has never verbally asked me for any care and help, and I have never deliberately taken care of or made things difficult for Ma or the construction party in my work. In Feng Rong Zhen’s view, even accepting money, as long as it is not deliberately taken care of at work, is not a bribe.

As a matter of fact, Feng Rong Zhen took care of the construction party in the process of organizing two blocks of projects, and received a total of 1.47 million yuan from Ma, the person in charge of the construction party, for six times.

In addition, Feng Rong Zhen also took care of the construction party in other bid projects, and received 560,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan from two other construction party leaders, Yang and Liu, five times.

The reconstruction project of Xinggang Avenue has become a "way to collect money" for Rong Zhen. After the completion of the project, there are serious quality problems, especially the section from Yuluoling to Daoshui ‘ao. Not long after the renovation, the pavement is pitted and uneven, which seriously affects the travel of citizens and the overall image of the city. The masses are quite complaining about this.

Bonded Logistics Center in Fangchenggang City

Building a "road network" is good for "fishing" money

In the process of urban construction in Fangchenggang City, "road network engineering" is a word with high frequency. The owners of major road network engineering such as "three horizontal and two vertical" road network engineering in the administrative center area and the road network engineering in the municipal bonded logistics center are all Fangchenggang City Investment Company. As the head of the company, Feng Rong Zhen will naturally receive many "sugar-coated shells".

One afternoon before the Spring Festival in 2010, Liu, the owner of the road network project, called to meet Rong Zhen. After the meeting, Liu took out two bags of things from the car and put them in the trunk of Rong Zhen’s car. He said, "Mr. Feng, this is 2 million yuan in cash, of which 800,000 yuan was returned to you by a friend of yours, and the other 1.2 million yuan is my own gift." Liu left after he finished speaking.

Rong Zhen didn’t say much and didn’t check the money, so he took it back to Fangchenggang and lent it to his brother to run his personal business. Feng Rong Zhen knows very well that the money came entirely for his own rights. Liu is the manager of the construction party of Fangchenggang’s "three horizontals and two verticals" road network project and Fangchenggang Bonded Logistics Center road network project. Liu wants to be taken care of in terms of project construction, project payment, completion acceptance and project settlement before sending this 1.2 million yuan.

After verification, in addition to the above-mentioned road network project, Feng Rong Zhen took care of the construction party in the process of organizing the construction of a bid section of North-South Avenue, the earthwork project of Fangchenggang Vocational Education Center, the Bailu Park project, and the road reconstruction project of Yuluoling-Daoshuiao section of Xinggang Avenue, and received a total of 2.5 million yuan from Liu, the person in charge of the construction party, three times.

Feng Rong Zhen not only lavished money on big projects, but also spared some small projects. Feng Rong Zhen gave convenience to the project contractor in the process of purchasing and installing weak current system engineering equipment for Fangchenggang City Investment Company’s comprehensive building project, and accepted 100,000 yuan; In the process of building a bid section of Dongwan Avenue in Fangchenggang City, he gave convenience to the project contractor Yang and accepted 100,000 yuan in cash.

500,000 yuan of stolen money was donated to my hometown.

In 2014, the procuratorate of Fangchenggang launched a massive special campaign to crack down on duty crimes in state-owned enterprises. During this campaign, nine people, including Feng Rong Zhen, chairman and general manager of Fangchenggang City Investment Company, and Zhang Hengyu, deputy general manager, were investigated for criminal responsibility.

Feng Rong Zhen was born in an ordinary family in Gongcheng County, Guilin. He was determined to get ahead from an early age, and then he was admitted to the university through hard work and worked as a postgraduate. Because of his outstanding work performance, Feng Rong Zhen had a smooth career path. At the age of 31, he was appointed as the director of Fangchenggang Fangcheng District Construction Bureau. Before he was 40, he became the chairman and general manager of Fangchenggang Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd., a member of the party group of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, and the deputy director and deputy director of the municipal major project construction office. Because of the struggle as a child, Feng Rong Zhen has a deep affection for his hometown, and he never forgets what he can do for his hometown. In fact, Rong Zhen also took action, but in a shameful way.

In the process of investigating Feng Rong Zhen’s case, when tracing the whereabouts of the stolen money, a sum of stolen money attracted everyone’s attention: from 2010 to the end of 2013, Feng Rong Zhen invested about 500,000 yuan in building bridges, roads and Little Square in his hometown of Gongcheng County, and the money was paid by his brother Feng.

The 4.93 million yuan illegally accepted by Feng Rong Zhen was mainly used for buying houses, investing in mining partnerships and personal consumption, in addition to investing in public welfare undertakings. Feng Rongzhen spent 1.4 million yuan to buy a property in Nanning at the end of 2009; In 2012, in my hometown of Gongcheng County, I invested 500,000 yuan to mine in partnership with my relatives.

In the investigation stage, the case-handling organ recovered 489,000 yuan from Feng Rong Zhen’s bank account and stock account, and recovered 100,000 yuan from others, and his relatives withdrew 300,000 yuan from the court during the trial stage, and a total of 889,000 yuan was withdrawn before and after Feng Rong Zhen.

On February 2nd this year, Feng Rong Zhen’s suspected bribery case was heard in the Fangchenggang Intermediate People’s Court. Facing the accusation of the procuratorate, Feng Rong Zhen confessed his criminal facts. Because he voluntarily surrendered himself and truthfully confessed his criminal behavior, he pleaded guilty with a good attitude and withdrew part of the money, the court finally gave him a lighter punishment and made the above judgment according to law.

When the gavel fell, Feng Rong Zhen’s expression was dim, and his hard work and high spirits were all gone with a verdict.
