Behind the "Fake HPV Vaccine" Incident: Experts suggest cooling the online celebrity vaccine.

  The recent exposure of "Hainan Boao Yinfeng Kangyang International Hospital involved in the vaccination of fake nine-valent HPV vaccine" has poured a pot of cold water on the vaccination boom of HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine.

  Over the past few years, in the upsurge of public opinion, the nine-valent HPV vaccine has gradually become a vaccine "online celebrity". An endless stream of cross-border vaccinators even once "stopped supplying" the nine-valent HPV vaccine in Hong Kong.

  On April 28th, 2018, under the great expectation, the nine-valent HPV vaccine was officially approved for listing in Chinese mainland at the speed of rocket.

  Before listing, the huge demand crowd gave birth to chaotic outbound vaccination intermediaries, and illegal smuggling was also common. This industrial chain is still active today.

  The "fake nine-valent HPV vaccine" incident uncovered the gray side of the HPV vaccine business.

  According to the notification of Hainan Provincial Health and Health Commission on April 28th, Hainan Boao Yinfeng Kangyang International Hospital (hereinafter referred to as "Yinfeng Hospital") was suspected of illegally vaccinating 38 people with HPV vaccine in January 2018. The "victim" of the incident said that these vaccines may be illegally smuggled or may come from a pharmaceutical factory in Siping, Jilin.

  In addition, 32 of them are over the recommended vaccination age of nine-valent HPV vaccine (16-26 years old), that is to say, they do not fully understand the protective effect of HPV vaccine. Why do these older women spend nearly 10,000 yuan chasing the nine-valent HPV vaccine of unknown origin?

  Many experts told The Paper that we should treat the value of the nine-valent HPV vaccine more rationally and need to cool down the "online celebrity" vaccine.

  Hainan Boao Yinfeng Kangyang International Hospital, sealed by qionghai city Health and Health Commission on April 29th.A Hard-to-Find Nine-valent HPV Vaccine "Myth"

  Since it was approved on April 28 last year, the strong demand for nine-valent HPV vaccine has triggered an appointment boom in various places, and Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and other places have all experienced the phenomenon of "one needle is hard to find".

  On April 29th, The Paper called the Hubei Provincial Center for Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment, and the outpatient department said that it was normal to make an appointment every Monday on the Internet because "there are only a dozen needles at nine prices every week".

  In many cities, booking a nine-valent HPV vaccine requires a lottery. For example, in Nanning, Guangxi, after winning the lottery, the applicant will be informed of the specific inoculation place and time. If the inoculation is not completed within the specified time, it will be included in ‘ Blacklist ’ You must not participate in the lottery within half a year. "

  In Shenzhen, from November last year, it was changed from "grab the number to make an appointment" to "shake the number to make an appointment". There were 95,111 valid applicants in the first lottery, and only 1,305 applicants won the lottery, with a winning rate of 1.37%.

  Behind the "one needle is hard to find" is the publicity upsurge of HPV vaccine that lasted for several years, which even shaped the nine-valent HPV vaccine into a "myth".

  Since the bivalent HPV vaccine was approved in 2016, titles such as "Ten years waiting, cervical cancer vaccine was finally approved" and "Chinese people waited for ten years, cervical cancer vaccine should not be missed" appeared in the media and occupied the circle of friends.

  In fact, HPV vaccine has been listed in the United States, Australia and other countries as early as 2006. In 2013, Professor Qiao Youlin from China Academy of Medical Sciences and Institute of Oncology of Peking Union Medical College and his research team published a study in the international authoritative magazine Vaccine, saying that if the cervical cancer vaccine was absent from China for seven years, 380,000 women would miss protection opportunities and become cervical cancer patients in the future if effective intervention measures such as screening were not applied.

  This research has attracted the attention of the domestic media. Since 2014, there have been reports in China about the long waiting time of cervical cancer vaccine. Until the first HPV vaccine was approved in China in 2016, the listing of tetravalent HPV vaccine in China has also caused widespread concern.

  Under the ardent expectation of the public, on April 28th last year, the nine-valent HPV vaccine was approved by National Medical Products Administration at "rocket speed". It took only eight days from the acceptance of the marketing application to the conditional approval, setting a new approval record.

  Who can be vaccinated with nine-valent HPV vaccine? Why is the recommended vaccination age limited to 16-26 years old? How to rationally treat the role of HPV vaccine in preventing cervical cancer? These questions are rarely mentioned.

  "There is indeed a phenomenon of over-promotion of HPV vaccine. According to the guidance of WHO, it is clear that even if HPV vaccine is vaccinated, cervical cancer cannot be completely avoided." Wang Yuedan, deputy director of the Department of Immunology of Peking University, told The Paper on April 29th.

  Some experts also pointed out that the frequent reports of vaccine shortage in the media and online have stimulated more women’s desire for vaccination, thus pushing up the market demand and increasing the supply gap.

  HPV vaccine is only part of the prevention strategy.

  "Popular Science Questions and Reference Answers about HPV Vaccine" published in National Medical Products Administration official website explained that for most people, being infected with HPV virus is like "getting a cold in the cervix", so there is no need to be too nervous and afraid.

  "More than 80% of HPV infections will be naturally cleared within 8 months, and only a few persistent high-risk HPV infections can cause cancer for more than 2 years. Among those who continue to be infected, only a few people will develop cervical precancerous lesions, and only a few of the latter will develop into cancer. " Mentioned in the above popular science question and answer.

  Two experts, Hu Shangying and Qiao Youlin, from the National Cancer Center and Peking Union Medical College Cancer Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences, also emphasized that HPV vaccination should be a part of the comprehensive prevention strategy for cervical cancer and other related diseases in a paper "Interpretation of the 2017 WHO HPV vaccine position paper" published in the Chinese journal of preventive medicine. In addition to vaccination, it also includes health education for women to avoid risky behaviors, screening, diagnosis and treatment, training health workers, and improving the accessibility of effective screening and treatment services.

  For women over the age of 26 who want to get a 9-valent HPV vaccine in China, Liu Fangxun, deputy director of the Department of Special Needs International Medicine of Peking University International Hospital, suggested that they can choose to get a 4-valent HPV vaccine and have a cervical cytology (TCT) examination every year.

  The best time for HPV vaccination is before sex, that is, before the first exposure to HPV infection. Therefore, teenagers are the best age for HPV vaccination.

  The recommended vaccination age of bivalent HPV vaccine in China is 9-25 years old women, tetravalent HPV vaccine is suitable for 20-45 years old women, and nonavalent HPV vaccine is suitable for 16-26 years old women.

  However, the recommended vaccination ages are different in different countries and regions. In the United States, the applicable ages of these three vaccines were all from 9 to 26 when they were first approved. It was not until last October that the indications of the 9-valent HPV vaccine were revised after an average 3.5-year follow-up study targeting 3,200 women aged 27-45. The US FDA approved the application of the 9-valent HPV vaccine to expand the age adaptation range.

  At present, there is not enough clinical trial data in China to prove that people who are vaccinated with nine-valent HPV vaccine over 26 years old can get the same protective effect as the recommended vaccination age. In Hu Shangying and Qiao Youlin’s aforementioned papers, it is also emphasized that the protective effect of vaccines on older women is lower than that of younger women.

  On April 28th, 2018, National Medical Products Administration conditionally approved the marketing of nine-valent HPV vaccine for preventing cervical cancer. Unlike bivalent and tetravalent HPV vaccines, the nine-valent HPV vaccine is conditionally approved.

  Why is it conditionally approved? The nine-valent HPV vaccine is based on the approved data of the previous four-valent HPV vaccine, and it can conditionally accept overseas clinical trial data and bridge with overseas clinical data. Therefore, it is possible to conditionally approve the import registration of products in the shortest time.

  Among the foreign clinical trials presented in the China instructions of tetravalent HPV vaccine, there is only one phase III trial aimed at the age group of 27-45, and the result is that "the effectiveness of this product in preventing CIN2/3 (cervical precancerous lesion), AIS (adenocarcinoma in situ) or cervical cancer related to HPV16 and 18 in women aged 27-45 has not been confirmed yet".

  The intermediary chaos caused by huge demand

  As a group of older women with more purchasing power and spending power, the irrational consumption demand for nine-valent HPV vaccine has also spawned intermediary industries such as "vaccination travel" and overseas vaccination.

  Tourism websites and medical intermediary companies have launched nine-valent HPV vaccination services in neighboring countries and regions such as South Korea, Singapore, China and Hongkong.

  In Hong Kong, the upsurge of HPV vaccination due to the "star effect" has also driven the consumption enthusiasm of some mainland women.

  As early as November 2006, HPV vaccine was approved to be listed in Hong Kong. At the initial stage of listing, public acceptance was not high. According to the data of the Hong Kong Institute of Pharmacists, from November 2006 to 2014, only about 8.85% of women were vaccinated. This situation was reversed in 2015. In 2015, the HPV vaccine subsidy scheme in Hong Kong was fully launched, and eligible people could enjoy the subsidy price as low as HK$ 1,400 per person, with the subsidy rate exceeding 60%.

  Hongkong also invited many stars to "help out", and G.E.M., Charlene Choi, Ekin Cheng and other stars participated in the production of public service advertisements for many times.

  Substantial subsidies and celebrity endorsements and publicity have not only greatly increased the number of local vaccinators, but also attracted a large number of mainland women. However, public hospitals in Hong Kong are closed to mainlanders, and this huge consumer group is targeted by many private clinics and intermediaries.

  In the qualified regular vaccination sites in China, age is a threshold, which blocks this part of the population over 26 years old. Moreover, before the nine-valent HPV vaccine is officially approved in Chinese mainland, it can only be inoculated abroad to get a wider range of titer protection.

  An endless stream of cross-border vaccinators even once "stopped supplying" the nine-valent HPV vaccine in Hong Kong.

  The Paper previously reported that from October 12 to December 1, 2017, Merck had directly suspended the supply of nine-valent HPV vaccine in major clinics in Hong Kong, and a large number of mainland consumers who went to Hong Kong for vaccination had disputes with vaccination institutions because of "broken needles".

  After the unprecedented shortage, the risks of intermediary soliciting customers out of order, no contract documents and difficulties in safeguarding rights are exposed.

  The age limit is not a problem in many intermediaries. An intermediary who went to Hong Kong to vaccinate the nine-valent HPV vaccine introduced to The Paper: "(Women) can fight if they have menstruation."

  This chaos is also reflected in the incident of "suspected vaccination of fake nine-valent HPV vaccine" in Yinfeng Hospital.

  The Paper interviewed 36 female vaccinators in this incident. According to the story, most of the 36 vaccinators were between 20 and 40 years old, and one of them was 49 years old at the time of vaccination. They all recommended each other through acquaintances, paid Wang Lina, who claimed to be the medical staff of Yinfeng Hospital, 900 yuan as the vaccination deposit in advance, and then swiped the card at the involved hospital or transferred 8,100 yuan online, paying a total of 9,000 yuan for the vaccination of this batch of nine-valent HPV vaccines.

  "9000 yuan should be a random charge." Wang Yuedan said that according to the pricing of domestic nine-valent HPV vaccine, the current price of nine-valent HPV vaccine in the mainland is about 1,300 yuan/needle, and the price of completing three needles is less than 4,000 yuan.

  In addition to the high premium, there are other risks in vaccination through informal channels in China.

  According to Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao’s report on April 29th, doctors with unhealthy clinics in Hong Kong, in order to make huge profits, used the genuine nine-valent HPV vaccine produced by Merck Pharmaceutical Factory in the United States to attract mainland customers, and then replaced the genuine nine-valent HPV vaccine with parallel vaccines of unknown origin to vaccinate the guests.

  "Which institution’s medical staff can fight (over age) means that it is in violation of regulations. If the institution can violate regulations in this place, it may also violate regulations in other links." Liu Fangxun, deputy chief physician of the Special Needs International Medical Department of Peking University International Hospital, told The Paper that vaccine management and cold chain transportation are closely linked in China, which is closely related to the quality and safety of vaccines. Inoculators should choose regular inoculation institutions.

  Many places have seized HPV vaccine smuggling.

  In the case of Yinfeng Hospital’s "suspected illegal inoculation of fake vaccines", the source of these nine-valent HPV vaccines became questionable. Victims who had been vaccinated before said, "The vaccines injected in this batch include unknown potions produced by a factory in Siping, Jilin, and smuggled vaccines."

  At present, Suzhou police have filed a case for investigation. However, the source of the vaccine that is of concern to the outside world has not been disclosed yet.

  The Paper previously reported that hundreds of people were involved in the vaccine case of Yinfeng Hospital, which was designated by the Ministry of Public Security to supervise the case. Yinfeng Hospital and Qingdao Meibomen House Beauty Information Consulting Co., Ltd. were just one link.

  According to public reports, cases of illegal entry of "HPV vaccine" have been seized in Shenzhen, Xiamen, Yantai and other places.

  In May 2017, the airport office of Yantai Inspection and Quarantine Bureau intercepted a number of illegally brought HPV vaccines in the luggage carried by inbound passengers from Taiwan Province.

  In September 2017, Zhuhai Gongbei Customs officers intercepted two men at the "no declaration channel" at the entry site of Gongbei Port, and found that their suitcases contained a large number of nine-valent vaccines for cervical cancer. This batch of vaccines is placed in three blue heat preservation bags and a transparent sealed bag, some of which are completely boxed and some are in bulk. It is understood that there are more than 220 vaccines in this batch, equivalent to about 130,000 yuan. The passenger concerned failed to provide the vaccine-related approval.

  In December 2017, the inspection and quarantine staff of Xiamen Airport Inspection and Quarantine Bureau intercepted 201 illegally brought HPV vaccines from the luggage of passengers entering Malaysia.

  In March 2018, the staff of Shenzhen Huanggang Inspection and Quarantine Bureau seized a group of 45 boxes of nine-valent cervical cancer vaccines brought by passengers at Futian Port, a large number. On-the-spot inspection found that the vaccines were only wrapped in simple plastic bags and packed in backpacks, and no low-temperature cold chain transportation measures were taken, which was easy to degenerate and fail. The passenger said that the vaccine was brought into the country to help people, and it was impossible to explain the source of the vaccine and failed to provide relevant quarantine approval certificates.

  In November 2018, Xiamen Customs, affiliated to the Airport Customs, intercepted 201 illegally brought HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccines from the luggage of Malaysian inbound passengers, including 150 tetravalent vaccines and 51 nonavalent vaccines. Passengers failed to declare voluntarily and could not provide relevant quarantine certificates.

  According to the current drug administration law, smuggled vaccines belong to the category of counterfeit drugs.

  Lawyer Yin Qingli of Beijing Ross Law Firm analyzed that according to Article 39 of China’s Drug Administration Law, if the vaccine comes from abroad, no matter whether it is true or not abroad, as long as there is no import procedure, it can be identified as the scope of counterfeit drugs.

  In an interview with The Paper, Yin Qingli said that if the "Yinfeng Hospital case" was related to companies and individuals who directly and intentionally violated customs regulations, evaded customs supervision, and transported the vaccines involved in the case in various ways or evaded customs duties, it was not in the form of purchasing by overseas citizens, and there was no special crime of smuggling vaccines and drugs in China, the related companies and individuals might be suspected of committing smuggling in the ordinary sense. If the vaccine in this case is brought to China by an individual through overseas purchasing and used clinically, the so-called overseas purchasing individual should be suspected of selling counterfeit drugs.

  "Because of the serious harm of counterfeit drugs, on the one hand, it endangers people’s health and life, on the other hand, it also harms the national drug supervision system and market order, so the criminal law makes such a provision. "Yin Qingli explained to The Paper that it is not difficult to see from the above provisions that the crime of producing and selling counterfeit drugs is an act of crime, that is, whether the act of producing and selling counterfeit drugs causes harm to health or not constitutes this crime.

  Regarding the grey areas where the revised Vaccine Management Law is concerned about whether it can effectively manage vaccine smuggling, a professional who has been engaged in the research of laws and policies related to drug management for a long time told The Paper that in principle, there are special provisions to follow the Vaccine Law, and no provisions are based on the Drug Management Law. "The draft vaccine law has not specifically stipulated the smuggling of vaccines. These incidents will test the integrity of the law." The above personnel said.

Draw a new picture of world modernization

  Author: Hong Xianghua (researcher and deputy director of the research department of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought Research Center, the supreme leader of the Central Party School [National School of Administration]); Yang Runcong (Associate Professor, School of Marxism, China Geo University)

  In today’s world, changes in the past century have accelerated, and the peace deficit, development deficit, security deficit and governance deficit faced by mankind have increased. Realizing world modernization is the only way to solve world problems. In his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the third "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "world modernization should be the modernization of peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation and common prosperity", which pointed out the direction for the people of the world to work together to realize world modernization.

  Realize the world modernization of peaceful development.

  Peaceful development is the basis for promoting the progress of human civilization. Marx and Engels creatively put forward the concept of "free association", and pointed out that this is a "more advanced social form with everyone’s all-round and free development as the basic principle". Only by "getting rid of people’s dependence" and "material dependence" can we realize everyone’s free and all-round development in the true sense and usher in a real peaceful world. However, some western countries are keen to piece together "small circles", fight a "new cold war", and commit themselves to pursuing hegemonism and power politics around the world, which poses a great threat to world peace and development. Practice has proved that security is the premise of development, and human beings are an inseparable security community. To realize the world modernization of peaceful development is by no means to realize the security and development of only one country and one region, let alone to undermine the security and development of other countries for the sake of one country’s security and development, but a kind of linkage security and development, which is the common security and development of all countries in the world. Therefore, it is necessary to achieve common destiny by eliminating the barriers between civilizations and abandoning national prejudice, so that "development" can truly become the theme and "peace" can truly become the norm, providing new possibilities for the evolution of human civilization and the development of world civilization.

  In recent years, with the rise of emerging market countries and developing countries, the international economic power balance has undergone profound changes, but the global economic governance system centered on the West has not been adjusted accordingly. At present, mankind is in a period of great development, great change and great adjustment. The international situation is intertwined with chaos and change, and the instability and uncertainty of the world are obviously enhanced. The increasingly connected world calls on all countries to work together to meet global challenges. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "The essence of multilateralism is that international issues are discussed and handled by all, and the future and destiny of the world are jointly controlled by all countries." "We must adhere to true multilateralism, practice the concept of global governance of joint construction and sharing, mobilize global resources, meet global challenges, and promote global development." To practice true multilateralism, big countries should set an example, abandon the cold war mentality and zero-sum game, oppose any form of hegemonism, power politics and ideological confrontation, take into account the legitimate concerns of other countries while pursuing their own legitimate interests, safeguard the fair order of the world, promote the building of a community of human destiny, and provide a solid guarantee for the peaceful development of world modernization.

  Realize the world modernization of mutually beneficial cooperation.

  Mutually beneficial cooperation is the common expectation of people all over the world. The global expansion of market economy makes history gradually move from "regional history" to "global history", which opens a new stage of economic globalization. In the past 10 years, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative has adhered to the principle of mutual cooperation, mutual benefit and mutual benefit, and has achieved a series of tangible results, helping many developing countries to accelerate the pace of modernization. It can be said that the realization of mutually beneficial cooperation in world modernization conforms to the historical trend of economic globalization, the requirements of the era of global governance system reform, and the strong desire of people of all countries to live a better life.

  In recent years, unilateralism and protectionism are on the rise, the global industrial chain supply chain is facing an impact, and economic globalization is facing a countercurrent. But in the long run, economic globalization is still a historical trend, and division of labor and cooperation among countries and mutual benefit and win-win are still long-term trends. Marx and Engels pointed out that "the bourgeoisie, because it has opened up the world market, has made the production and consumption of all countries worldwide" and "the more thoroughly the original closed state of all ethnic groups is eliminated due to the increasingly perfect production methods, exchanges and the natural division of labor between different ethnic groups, the more history will become world history". Marx and Engels profoundly revealed the essence of economic globalization, and pointed out that economic globalization is the objective requirement of the development of social productive forces and the only way for the development of human society, not artificially created by any person or country. Realizing the world modernization of mutually beneficial cooperation is to engage in constructive dialogue, carry out multilateral cooperation, learn from each other’s strengths and develop together, and build a new type of international relations with mutually beneficial cooperation as the core. This is the common call of the overwhelming majority of people in the world and the only way to build a common and prosperous world. At the crossroads of the process of human modernization, all countries, big or small, must abandon selfish interests, actively cooperate, unite and do their best to effectively deal with all kinds of urgent and dangerous global problems. This is the simplest and most effective way to solve the current common problems, and it is also a powerful guarantee to deal with future challenges and shocks.

  Realize the world modernization of common prosperity.

  The common prosperity of the world is an inevitable choice based on the development of the times and the general trend of human progress. Since the 21st century, under the leadership of the United Nations, the international community has formulated and implemented the Millennium Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which has pushed 1.1 billion people out of poverty, 1.9 billion people have access to safe drinking water, and 3.5 billion people have access to the Internet. However, due to regional politics and differences between the North and the South, problems such as unbalanced development, governance dilemma, digital divide and fair deficit also exist objectively. In this regard, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out that "the world has become a global village with you and me, and the economic and social development of all countries is increasingly interrelated and influencing each other. Promoting interconnection and accelerating integration and development has become an inevitable choice for promoting common prosperity and development". Therefore, in seeking common ground while reserving differences, we should find common interests and common values among different countries, maintain the stability of the international social order, and build a common and prosperous modernization in the world.

  The modernization of common prosperity transcends the narrow community of interests and the illusory community. Marx believes that the "community" of the bourgeoisie is an "illusory community" and cannot truly represent the actual interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. This "illusory community" relies on its advantage in the field of international finance, disregarding the objective law of historical development and the responsibility and morality of realistic development, and rashly starts unilateralism, trade protectionism and other actions, which makes the "black swan" incidents occur frequently around the world, and the peace deficit and governance deficit increasingly hinder the progress and development of human society. The proposal of "modernization for common prosperity" fully draws on Marx’s view of "true community", and promotes the construction of a community of human destiny in the practice that is more in line with "common destiny of mankind", in the concept that is more in line with the value of human multi-civilization, and on the more practical road of human development, so as to realize the world modernization of common prosperity.

  "What kind of world to build and how to build it" is a constant proposition in the development of human society. The modernization of common prosperity is exactly from the perspective of all mankind, with the common destiny of all mankind as the care direction, seeking a new hope for building a new society with win-win cooperation in the future. Therefore, all countries in the world should conform to the trend of the times and the voice of the people, practice the concept of civilization of equality, mutual learning, dialogue and tolerance, respect the diversity of world civilizations, and work together to build a common and prosperous world modernization.

  Guangming Daily (November 02, 2023, 07 edition)

The sense has been significantly improved.

On the side of the car body, like most mid-term redesigned models, the side face of the 2024 Cadillac CT5 has hardly been adjusted. However, the iconic large slip back, coupled with matte multi-spoke wheels, is enough to create a handsome and sporty body posture.

Buy casually on the "cigarette card" online? Tobacco control experts sue e-commerce platforms and businesses as parents.

Cut cigarette labels from cigarette boxes, fold them and make them into cards to play with — — At present, these "cigarette cards" used by children as toys are concerned by all walks of life because they are not conducive to the health of teenagers. Since March this year, Haikou, Sanya, Beijing and other cities have launched special rectification work. However, the reporter found that various "smoke cards" are still on sale on major e-commerce platforms.

On October 10th, the Beijing News reporter learned that the first case of protecting minors from the harm of "cigarette cards" had passed the filing review in Beijing Internet Court. Li Enze, deputy director and secretary-general of chinese association on tobacco control Public Welfare Law Committee and executive director of the Public Welfare Law Center of Beijing Yipai Law Firm, sued the e-commerce platform and the businesses selling "cigarette cards" together as a parent, and filed a lawsuit requesting that all the "cigarette cards" displayed and sold by the defendant be removed from the shelves according to law.

I hope that through litigation, the e-commerce platform will take the initiative to remove the "cigarette card"

This public interest litigation originated in March this year. Li Enze recalled that as an expert in tobacco control, many parents and teachers told him that their children were addicted to "cigarette cards", and he began to pay attention to and understand this matter. "My child is 9 years old this year, which also reflects that my classmates are playing and collecting cigarette cards. I often see some children sitting on the ground shooting ‘ Cigarette card ’ After research, it is found that ‘ Cigarette card ’ It not only infringes on the physical and mental health of minors, but also violates the regulations on the protection of minors. " Li Enze said.

To this end, through the investigation of parents, teachers and experts in tobacco control field, Li Enze summed up eight aspects that the "cigarette card" is harmful to the health of minors, including the formation of comparison among children and the influence on their studies; Premature contact with cigarettes due to "cigarette card"; There are secondary hazards such as digging out trash cans, stealing cigarettes and gambling in disguise due to the collection of "cigarette cards". With the popularity of "cigarette cards" among children, the phenomenon of making and selling "cigarette cards" has also been born. Li Enze said that he had sent a letter of advice on rectifying the "cigarette card" to National Health Commission and the State Administration of Market Supervision, and received a positive reply, saying that supervision would be strengthened.

According to public reports, in May this year, the Office of the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau issued the "Notice on Carrying out Special Treatment to Protect Minors from E-cigarettes", requiring local tobacco monopoly bureaus to cooperate with market supervision and other departments to dissuade convenience stores, supermarkets, cultural and sports goods stores around the campus from selling cigarette cases, "cigarette cards" and other items to minors. Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shenzhen and other places should tighten the responsibility of territorial supervision, adopt administrative interviews and send supervision letters, etc., and require local Internet companies to independently clean up product information such as e-cigarettes and "cigarette cards" and shut down illegally sold shops.

However, Li Enze found that there are still "cigarette cards" for sale online. According to statistics, there are more than 7,000 shops selling "cigarette cards" on one large e-commerce platform. He also bought "cigarette cards" from many shops online, and found that some of them were made of real cigarette cases, while others were privately printed paper products (not made of real cigarette packaging). He then decided to file a public interest lawsuit against a large e-commerce platform and merchants selling "cigarette cards". "I hope that through this lawsuit, the court will confirm online sales according to law ‘ Cigarette card ’ The behavior is illegal, and the responsibilities of all parties are clear. The purpose is to make the e-commerce platform take the initiative to remove the ‘ Cigarette card ’ So that all sectors of society can pay attention to the protection of minors. " Li Enze said.

Many e-commerce platforms have "smoke cards" for sale, and merchants use "smoke smell" as a gimmick.

The Beijing News reporter found that at present, searching for the word "cigarette card" on many e-commerce platforms will pop up keywords such as "cigarette card collection book", "cigarette card", "cigarette card box" and "cigarette card", and a large number of merchants selling cigarette cards will appear when they click in. Some merchants display "the whole network sells 100,000+". Searching for "cigarette cards" on an e-commerce platform will pop up the page of "Green Network Plan (Anti-smoking Publicity)", but searching for keywords such as "100 cigarette cards sent by cigarette card storage box", "genuine cigarette cards" and "rare cigarette cards" can still jump to the page of merchants selling "cigarette cards".

These businesses all sell cigarette cards stacked with various brands of cigarettes, and claim that they are "100% genuine" and "smell of cigarettes", etc. Some businesses take "children no longer need to pick up trash cans", "clean and hygienic" and "parents buy them for their children" as propaganda words, and many businesses will use "rare cards", "foreign out of print" and "China (cigarette brands).

The Beijing News reporter randomly asked the sellers of the two e-commerce platforms that the "cigarette cards" sold were clean and hygienic, and they were made of genuine cigarette boxes. An online shop customer service introduced that some of these cigarette cards were made from defective boxes before loading cigarettes, and some were made from cigarette cases recycled by waste stations. "Recycling has to go through several rounds of disinfection to ensure hygiene and cleanliness." Another online shop clerk who claimed that "it smells like smoke and has glue marks" said that the "cigarette card" came from the box recycled by the tobacco and alcohol wholesale store and was "disinfected".

When the reporter searched for "cigarette card" on a lifestyle sharing network platform, he found that there were sharing contents such as the course of overlapping cards and the introduction of segment classification, including the overlapping method of gold, silver, silver and copper, and the new folding method of "ghost card".

This year, many places have rectified the sales of "cigarette cards"

The core issue of this public interest litigation is whether the "cigarette card" can be sold online. Li Enze believes that this violates the relevant legal provisions of the Law on the Protection of Minors in People’s Republic of China (PRC), the Advertising Law in People’s Republic of China (PRC), the Tobacco Monopoly Law in People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Regulations for the Implementation of the Tobacco Monopoly Law in People’s Republic of China (PRC). Among them, according to Articles 4, 50, 51 and 53 of the Insurance Law, the production, display and sale of "cigarette cards" are suspected of inducing minors to buy and use them, infringing on their physical and mental health.

According to the advertising law, advertisements must not harm the physical and mental health of minors, and it is even more forbidden to publish tobacco advertisements in the mass media or public places, public transport and outdoors. It is forbidden to send any form of tobacco advertisements to minors. According to the tobacco monopoly law and the regulations for the implementation of the tobacco monopoly law, the trademark marks of tobacco products must be printed by enterprises designated by the provincial administrative department for industry and commerce; Non-designated enterprises shall not print trademark marks of tobacco products; No unit or individual may sell illegally produced tobacco products. According to this, Li Enze filed a lawsuit, demanding that the defendant be ordered to pay compensation and apologize publicly according to law, and all the "cigarette cards" displayed and sold should be removed from the shelves, and they should not continue to be sold and displayed.

According to public reports, the reporter noticed that as early as March this year, Haikou, Sanya, Beijing and other cities have launched special rectification work on "cigarette cards", and many provincial and municipal market supervision and management departments have clearly prohibited the sale of "cigarette cards". For example, in September this year, Changzheng Street Market Supervision Office in Pingchuan District, Baiyin City, Gansu Province launched a special rectification campaign for "cigarette cards" around the campus, requiring merchants to post a warning sign prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to minors and not selling "cigarette cards" to minors in a prominent position, and confiscated more than 200 illegal "cigarette cards" according to law; In mid-July, Guizhou Provincial Market Supervision Bureau concentrated on the unified illegal action of rectifying "cigarette cards" and found out the illegal act of selling "cigarette cards" and cigarettes to minors … …

On June 30th, Beijing Tobacco Control Association issued a document saying that "cigarette card" is the carrier of tobacco information in disguised form, and premature exposure of primary school students to tobacco trademarks may lead to psychological hints of trying to smoke. In addition, in order to get a "cigarette card", some students look for discarded cigarette cases on the roadside, and even rummage through cigarette cases in the trash can, and their hands are easily contaminated by bacteria. The association suggested that "cigarette cards" should be supervised and managed.

"In a broad sense, public interest litigation is all litigation that can promote the protection of public interests. In a narrow sense, it includes public interest litigation clearly stipulated by law, such as ecological environmental protection and administrative public interest litigation." Li Enze expressed the hope that through this lawsuit, he would appeal to the society to pay attention to and supervise the display and sale of "cigarette cards" on e-commerce platforms and work together to protect minors.

Yang Zi rolled over again? Hu Spicy Soup was reversed and picked up by Yang Zi, and Zhang Xue welcomed her love

The material in this article comes from the Internet. If it does not match the actual situation or there is infringement, please contact to delete it.

Since the media released the interactive video of Yang Zi and Liu Xueyi, Yang Zi was pushed into a rather embarrassing situation, and in the days that followed, she has been constantly exposed to "black history" and constantly made embarrassing things.

Especially after the "Hu Spicy Soup Incident" became a hot topic again, Zhang Xueying’s fans posted a series of clarification posts, which directly reversed the situation of the whole incident, and also caused Yang Zi’s image to be greatly negatively affected. Some netizens even began to jokingly call her a "liar" and questioned her character.

Now, let’s test everyone’s understanding of the "Hu Spicy Soup Incident".

First of all, have you heard that Zhang Xueying and Qin Junjie used the same spoon?

Secondly, have you ever seen reports that Zhang Xueying asked Qin Junjie to help her wipe her feet, and that the two were intimate outside the play?

Finally, do you have any memories of "Yang Zi helped Zhang Xueying clarify it at the first time, and then Zhang Xueying turned around and liked the ambiguous video of himself and Qin Junjie"?

If you answered "yes" to all three of these questions, then what follows may confuse you, and you may begin to wonder if your memory has been tampered with.

In fact, for the first time in the past four years, many people have seen screenshots of Zhang Xueying and Qin Junjie drinking Hu spicy soup together. It turned out that they did not use the same spoon together, but only took a sip and were called away by the director to continue filming. Later, when the two returned to the table again, Zhang Xueying couldn’t find her own spoon, so she picked up the bowl and took a sip. Therefore, Zhang Xueying and Qin Junjie did not use the same spoon together. You and I shared a bowl of Hu spicy soup one by one.

In response to the rumor that Zhang Xueying asked Qin Junjie to wipe his feet and the two were intimate outside the play, Zhang Xueying’s fans also provided relevant screenshots to clarify. First of all, there is no plot of wiping feet at all. In fact, Zhang Xueying needs to be barefoot in the play, and the shoes are always in Qin Junjie’s hands. Secondly, the so-called intimacy is actually in the filming work, which is a professional demand, not a private intimacy.

If the boundary between them is blurred, it is true, but it is too harsh to accuse Zhang Xueying of interfering in the relationship between Yang Zi and Qin Junjie.

Some people may ask, since Yang Zi also helped Zhang Xueying clarify the incident, why has it become the target of public criticism now?

This question is very simple, because netizens found that in the "Hu Spicy Soup Incident", Yang Zi has actually been the leader. Looking back at the events, the following key points can be found:

In November 2017, Yang Zi mentioned in a variety show that he dreamed of Qin Junjie developing a relationship with the same group of actresses, and emphasized the plot of the wedding scene, and Qin Junjie’s only wedding scene was with Zhang Xueying. This can be seen as Yang Zi’s first active intervention.

In May 2018, when the collaboration between Qin Junjie and Zhang Xueying began to air, Yang Zi intervened again in her reply to netizens and announced late at night that she would not break up. This is her second initiative. It is worth mentioning that similar behavior has led to widespread condemnation of actor Dou Xiao’s girlfriend, He Chaolian.

In July and August 2018, Yang Zi deleted her Weibo twice, which was her third initiative. At this time, rumors about Qin Junjie’s suspected affair with Zhang Xueying also began to spread.

On August 12, 2018, the Hu Spicy Soup incident became a hot topic. Zhang Xueying issued a clarification statement for the first time, and Yang Zi and Qin Junjie also officially announced their breakup.

However, after reviewing the "Hu Spicy Soup Incident" recently, netizens suddenly discovered a key turning point: Yang Zi did not reply to Zhang Xueying’s studio to clarify immediately, but waited for a full 9 hours, almost just when public opinion was about to subside. It is worth noting that during this time, her account was launched a full 57 times.

In the Internet age, there is a saying that is widely circulated: "It is easy to spread rumors, but difficult to refute them." Nine hours is enough for rumors to spread for several laps, and multiple versions are derived, such as "Yang Zi helped Zhang Xueying clarify it at the first time, and then Zhang Xueying turned his head and praised it."

This version of the ambiguous video "between himself and Qin Junjie has lasted for a full four years, and it was only recently that the truth was revealed.

In fact, Yang Zi did not clarify the incident immediately, and what Zhang Xueying liked was not the ambiguous video of herself and Qin Junjie, but the clarification statement about her affair with Qin Junjie.

After the Hu Spicy Soup incident was reversed, Zhang Xueying won the support and sympathy of many netizens, but unfortunately, although the nail was pulled out, the traces left behind would not disappear easily. Now, the only way out is to wish her to work hard to improve her acting skills, to shoot high-level works in the future, and to prove herself with strength.

As for Yang Zi, netizens continue to dig into her history of "misses" and likes over the years, as well as her lack of sense of boundaries with her fellow actors. We don’t know how much these events will affect her personal image.

Finally, I would like to remind all celebrities to keep in mind the principle of "cautious words and deeds" and be a kind person. Nowadays, netizens have very strong investigative skills. If there is a problem, they can easily strip your private life without leaving any privacy fig leaf.

To sum up, this incident tells us that in the entertainment industry, image maintenance is of paramount importance, and careless behavior can cause serious damage to a star’s career. I hope Yang Zi can not become the next "Zhang Xueying", and remind all stars to be careful with their words and deeds, so as not to become the "next target of bombardment" in the words of netizens. Finally, it is emphasized again that unauthorized reprinting is strictly prohibited, otherwise legal responsibility will be pursued.

This time, Chen He, Lou Yixiao and Sun Yizhou will also stage the much-anticipated "Love Apartment" postscript. The lovely "Meijia" Li Jinming also appeared in surprise, recalling the interesting things when he broke the news of the filming. Lin Gengxin, who just played the alternative Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" supervised by Zhou Xingchi, will pay tribute to Zhou Xingchi this time with the classic role of "Supreme Treasure" in "Journey to the West". When they played against Song Qian, who played the role of "Zixia Fairy", the two also staged a "kiss" scene. Although the action was borrowed, the emotion was very good, and the scene was so powerful that the audience screamed.


Chen He, Lou Yixiao, and Sun Yizhou staged "The Post-Biography of" Love Apartment "Li Jinming’s Surprise Appearance



In the summer of 2009, the first installment of "Love Apartment" was officially broadcast. With its hilarious plot and networking, its life-like lines quickly became popular, and stars such as Chen He and Lou Yixiao also gained a lot of popularity with their roles such as Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei. In the following years, "Love Apartment" has almost become a holiday standard for young people, and the series can be seen repeatedly every winter and summer vacation.


Although the director of the series announced the end of the fourth installment of "Love Apartment" in 2014, fans who love the show still look forward to the reunion of the original cast and the continuation of the unfinished story. In this episode, Chen He, Lou Yixiao, and Sun Yizhou have a rare "fit" to perform the "postquel" of "Love Apartment". At the scene, Chen He once again incarnated as "Zeng Xiaoxian" to host "Your Moon, My Heart", and renewed the relationship with Lou Yixiao’s "Hu Yifei", while Sun Yizhou’s playboy "Lv Ziqiao" still loves to play, and the party is very lively as soon as it debuts. In addition to seeing the gold medal CP of "Zeng Xiaoxian" and "Hu Yifei", "Chen Meijia" Li Jinming also appeared in surprise this time, falling in love and killing with "Lu Xiaobu" Sun Yizhou. The familiar scene moved the audience.


Lin Gengxin transforms into "Supreme Treasure", and his partners Song Qian and Ma Su perform tearjerking sadomasochism




"Journey to the West" is one of the most talked about movies this Spring Festival. Lin Gengxin’s alternative Sun Wukong left a deep impression on the audience, and also reminded many audiences of the previous life of Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" 22 years ago – the Supreme Treasure.


In this episode, Lin Xinxin directly transformed into "Supreme Treasure" to pay tribute to Zhou Xingchi at the scene, restoring the classic farewell scene at the end of "Journey to the West", while Song Qian and Ma Su played "Zixia Fairy" and "Bai Jingjing" respectively. At the scene, although Lin Xinxin was deeply involved in the "sadomasochistic love" with Song Qian, and even staged a passionate kiss, he couldn’t rest assured that the other person in his heart could only continue to struggle in the dilemma, and the scene could be called tearjerker.


Of course, the old drama team did not show weakness, and there were constant big moves on the scene. Not only Zhang Guoli and Jiang Wenli, the "partners" of "Golden Marriage", continued their relationship, and played the drama of quarreling and compounding. Teacher Wang Gang also improvised a clip of "mourning his deceased wife", and Zhang Tielin played a classic sketch clip of the Spring Festival Gala with Wang Yuan, and one by one continued to conquer the audience with their strength and acting skills.


How will Chen He and Lou Yixiao continue to make friends with the happy enemies of "Zeng Xiaoxian" and "Hu Yifei"? How will Lin’s updated version of "Supreme Treasure" bring different wonderful interpretations? More exciting, all in the evening of March 10 (Friday), Zhejiang Satellite TV’s "Ace to Ace", so stay tuned.

Epidemic game: "Ice Age": the dilemma of people in extreme survival conditions

Written by Gong Zhaohua

 

The original "Ice Age" was released in April 2018 by 11 bits stadio. After its launch, it was rated as a 16 + game by PEGI due to the large number of disaster plots and social choices that had to sacrifice individuals.

 

The background of this game is very simple: in the future, a cold wave sweeps the world, and humans have to leave London and other cities to live around heating energy towers in the ice and snow. In the beginning, all resources are limited. As the leader of the people, players must find a way to obtain as many survival resources as possible such as coal, wood, steel and ingredients, and build more developed buildings to ensure that people can continue to survive in extreme environments.

 

City management questions: What kind of ruler do you want to be?

 

In the process of survival, players face many choices. Because the time of the game is set to be limited, there is no energy to invest in coal heating and no energy to develop medical technology. In terms of social policy, "Ice Age" offers players some options, some of which are harsh and will cause public dissatisfaction. But if you want to survive, you have to sign these bills.

 

For example, in the policy there is a child labor bill, which can be signed to hire child labor and put children into work, digging coal mines in the ice and snow or working in kitchens. In the case of labor shortage, if you want to maintain the normal operation of society, you have to make this choice. Otherwise, more people will die from severe cold or lack of food.

 

Moreover, in "Ice Age", once the bill is signed, it cannot be withdrawn. That is to say, when the game is developed to the middle and late stages and the labor force is sufficient, it is impossible to repeal the original bill and abolish the child labor system. A manager must pay a long-term price for every step he takes.

 

 

In the main story "New Home", players will encounter an event. The nearby city is confirmed to be destroyed, the expectations of the people for survival have dropped to freezing point, people no longer trust the ruler, and the "London Gang" has emerged. This gang calls on the people to give up the new city around the energy tower and return to London. The ruler’s task is to restore the confidence of the people.

 

At this moment, two completely different ideologies emerged:

 

One is a moderate faith plan. Rulers can build churches where people can hold evening gatherings, pray, and distribute food from their reserves to the masses. The other is to establish a surveillance system. After starting this route, players can build prisons, watchtowers, police and whistleblowing systems, and severely punish those who have a negative impact on society. They can also build radio stations and propaganda to keep the people full of hope.

 

In the game, compared to the first route, the second route is more effective in dealing with difficult modes, so it has become a recommended strategy for many players.

 

The game was designed to make the player experience the hardship of social choices, so that the player can focus on the individual sacrificed by the whole. In the game content, it has been guiding the player to become a less than ideal ruler. For example, in the new DLC "Last Autumn", the player’s task is to build an energy tower. You need workers and engineers to complete this task together.

 

However, do you want to build a society dominated by guilds or an elite society that follows the advice of engineers? The former can reduce the risk of strikes, but the workers’ demand is increasing, and sometimes unreasonable plans will be proposed; engineers can ensure the rationality of the plan, but it will cause dissatisfaction among the workers, so you need to establish monitoring towers and foremen to supervise the work of the workers…

 

Games and society:

Why not choose not to let anyone die?

 

As a player, you know that at the end of the game’s plot, a blizzard will come and the construction of the energy tower will save everyone; however, the people in the game do not believe this. Do you choose to tell them the truth (which will reduce the hope value of society), or do you choose to deceive them with propaganda and lies to maintain the hope value of society and work efficiency at a high value?

 

In the game, most players will choose the latter. This is also a flaw in the setting of "Ice Age": managers don’t pay much for their lies. The people in the game don’t have the ability to see through lies on their own initiative. They don’t freeze to death in the ice because they listen to propaganda and brave the cold to go to work (as long as you build a few heated steam hubs nearby). Even if there is a poet in the city who writes depressing articles, you can expel him or arrange a decent funeral for him, and thus continue to maintain the society’s hope value at a high level. People get sick and have their limbs amputated because of the cold work. You can arrange for factories to produce prosthetic limbs and put them back to work – and this option can actually increase the society’s hope value. This is obviously not in line with individual emotions.

 

 

Also, when other refugees come to your city seeking refuge, you can choose three options: option A is to reject all refugees, which will lead to a lower social hope value; option B is to accept everyone, including healthy refugees and sick refugees, which will increase social hope value, but will also increase people’s dissatisfaction value accordingly; option C is to accept only healthy refugees, and let sick refugees freeze to death outside. The last option will only bring positive results, increasing the labor force, reducing the medical burden, and raising the social hope value.

Essentially, "Ice Age" is for players to reflect a society where the people are not ideal citizens, but selfish people who are all about self-survival. If you pay the sick people double rations and take good care of them, the healthy people will be dissatisfied. You isolate the sick people, and the people will be relieved. Therefore, rulers who cater to this popular psychology are more likely to be the winners of the game, whether you use lies, police systems, checkpoints or prisons.

 

Of course, some people also chose the humanitarian spirit during the game, and made "no one dies" as the hidden victory goal. But the failure rate of this plan is extremely high, especially when the labor force is limited, too much public service investment will make the industrial building understaffed, and finally unable to build energy towers or reserve enough resources, resulting in most of the people freezing to death when the snowstorm arrives. The game also failed.

After having to win at the expense of some people, the story of "Ice Age" ends with a question for players – we won and society survived, but is it really worth it?

This is a question worth pondering, and it is also a plot that has played out continuously in our human history. But in the form of video games, it is quite difficult to really understand this, because the format of video games has caused everything here to be processed in digital form, including people’s dissatisfaction, happiness, resources and productivity, etc., and every living person.

Peninsula all-media reporter Zheng Tianzhong

Today is a big day! At 9: 00 a.m. on December 8th, the 15th Shandong International Auto Show in 2023, the biggest event at the end of the year in the island city, officially kicked off. In Halls 1, 2 and 4 of Qingdao International Convention and Exhibition Center, more than 600 mainstream models of more than 80 brands appeared together, welcoming tens of thousands of consumers and fans to watch and taste.

At the exhibition site, people can see heavy new cars, sky-high luxury cars and new energy vehicles equipped with the latest technology; Of course, price concessions are also indispensable. Under the background of year-end impulse, many brands have shown the lowest price for the whole year. What is particularly worth mentioning is that Shandong International Auto Show also launched a lucky draw. The prizes include the six-month use right of Jennisseth GV80, the three-month use right of two Haoplatinum GT, and the "no threshold" gifts such as LCD TVs and rice cookers, which are full of sincerity and full of surprises!

Highlight 1: "All-Star Team" debut

The participating brands of this auto show include: Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, FAW Audi, SAIC Audi, Volvo, Lincoln, Smart, Aouita, Lexus, Jaguar, Land Rover, Hongqi, Janice, Imported Volkswagen, MINI, Ford Zongheng, Jeep, Volvo’s official standard used car, Xpeng Motors, LI, Tengshi, Lantu Automobile, Feifan Automobile, Gaohe Automobile, etc. Haobo, Tanks, GAC Toyota, SAIC Volkswagen, Changan Ford, Buick, FAW Toyota, FAW-Volkswagen, Jetta, Dongfeng Nissan, Guangqi Honda, Dongfeng Honda, Changan Mazda, Beijing Hyundai, Dongfeng Citroen, Dongfeng Peugeot, Geely Automobile, Lectra, BYD, Changan Automobile, Changan Pickup, Great Wall Haval, Wei Pai, Great Wall Euler, GAC Chuanqi, GAC Ai ‘an.

This "all-star" lineup basically covers self-owned brands, luxury cars, joint-venture models and new forces in making cars, etc. Whether you are interested in new energy vehicles or still keen on fuel vehicles, you can find your own "answer" at the auto show.

Highlight 2: heavyweight new car competition

Shandong International Auto Show’s new car "Canruo Xinghe"! In the field of new energy vehicles, Aouita 12, Chuanqi E8, Haobo HT, Tesla Huan’s new Model 3, BYD Song L, Tank 400 Hi4-T, Deep Blue S7i, Deep Blue SL03i, Extremely Fox Alpha T5, Wuling Starlight, Lectra 06EM-P, Roewe D7, MG Cyberster, etc. can meet the needs of consumers from two dimensions of pure electricity and plug-in hybrid. In terms of fuel vehicles, Ford Ranger, Beijing Auto brand-new BJ40, brand-new red flag H5 and 2024 Geely Xingyue L are still strong and cost-effective.

Highlight 3: The "lowest price" for the whole year is here.

At the scene of Shandong International Auto Show, people will not be too surprised by the huge discount of models, because this is the birthplace of "the lowest price for the whole year". First of all, due to the demand of major brands at the end of the year, their price reduction efforts in December were very impressive. For example, FAW-Volkswagen, SAIC-Volkswagen and BYD all recently launched the profit-making of all models, and the price of Tesla Model Y also came to the lowest point of the year; Secondly, Shandong International Auto Show is a platform recognized by the island car market at the end of the year. Competing models compete face to face here, and the preferential margin is definitely greater than that of 4S stores. Under such a "superposition" effect, the bottom of the car price for the whole year naturally formed.

Highlight 4: lucky draw, the luxury car will drive away for free.

The lucky draw of this year’s auto show is a "surprise"! First of all, the half-year right to use the GV80 of Janice. My friends, this is the flagship version of a luxury SUV worth 672,800 yuan, comparable to the BMW X5. Next, the right to use two Haobo GT for three months. Haobo GT is an extremely rare scissor-door pure electric coupe in China. The key thing is that the top match of Haobo GT is sent out in our auto show lottery, that is, the 710 rear-drive overcharged Max version worth 339,900 yuan. Needless to say, no matter which one of these two cars is drawn, it is a big profit.

It is particularly important to point out that in addition to the two model awards, there are also exquisite awards such as LCD TVs and rice cookers at the Shandong International Auto Show, and there is no threshold for this lottery. As long as consumers and fans go to the auto show to scan the QR code of the lottery and fill in the information, they will enter the lottery pool, and various awards will have the opportunity to come to them.
