Professor Wang summed up: the traditional Chinese medicine thinking of gynecological diagnosis and treatment, that is, the correspondence between man and nature and the unity of form and spirit; Chinese and western convergence, multi-disciplinary; Combination of symptoms and diseases, three factors are suitable; Internal and external treatment, partial whole; Acupuncture and drug acupuncture, multi-method application; Prevention before illness means prevention of illness and recovery after illness.

Professor Zhang Yi, Beijing Hospital, The Methods and Advantages and Disadvantages of Vaginal Hysterectomy

In recent years, with the development of minimally invasive technology, vaginal surgery has developed rapidly in obstetrics and gynecology because of its advantages of safety, minimally invasive and rapid recovery. Professor Zhang said that hysterectomy is the most common operation in gynecology. Whether it is abdominal hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy or laparoscopic hysterectomy, it has advantages and disadvantages. Advocating individualized treatment can benefit patients more. The advantages of vaginal hysterectomy are minimally invasive operation, minimal peritoneal opening, avoiding infection of abdominal incision and quick postoperative recovery. However, it also has a small surgical field of vision and high technical requirements of the operator, which requires the operator to reasonably grasp the indications and contraindications of the operation.

Liu Guozheng, President of Chinese Medicine Magazine, Selected Topics and Publication of journal of traditional chinese medicine.

The topic brought by Professor Wang Shijun is "How do gynecologists face urinary system injuries?" . Professor Wang focused on the treatment of four kinds of ureteral injuries during operation: ① suspected thermal injury: preventive DJ tube implantation; ② Low injury: ureteral bladder implantation; ③ High injury: end-to-end anastomosis and wall repair; ④ Segmental injury: bladder and kidney are free, bladder flap and ureter anastomosis and even kidney font transplantation. Finally, Professor Wang also told us about the treatment of bladder injury, which needs suture and repair during operation. Postoperative repair after 3 months, including laparoscopic or laparotomy, transvaginal, vaginal-abdominal combination, intravesical laparoscopic repair.

Professor Cui Heng, Peking University People’s Hospital, Surgical Treatment Strategies for Ovarian Cancer

Professor Cui explained in detail the diagnosis and treatment status of ovarian cancer, the strategy of surgical treatment, how to improve the quality and effect of surgical treatment, etc. Generally speaking, the core of ovarian cancer surgery is to completely reduce the tumor, and the reduction of RO is the basis for ovarian cancer to obtain good curative effect. Accurate preoperative evaluation is the basis of appropriate decision-making, and attention should be paid to preoperative evaluation of lymph nodes; The indications of neoadjuvant chemotherapy should not be expanded unprincipled; Lymphadenectomy is of great value in the surgical treatment of ovarian cancer, including diagnostic value: accurate evaluation of lymph node metastasis and accurate staging of tumor. Therapeutic value: resection of metastatic or possibly metastatic lymph nodes, complete tumor reduction, guiding postoperative treatment to prevent recurrence, improving prognosis and prolonging survival time. No lymphadenectomy was found in patients with stage IIIc and IV. If the initial operation is not removed, it should also be removed in intermittent surgery.

Professor Hao Zengping from Friendship Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, Vaginal Microecology and HPV Infection

Female lower reproductive tract is an open channel, which is an important microecological area in human body. Vaginal microecosystem is not only complex, but also very sensitive, and it is easy to change when it is influenced by endogenous and exogenous factors. Professor Hao explained the vaginal microecology and HPV infection respectively, focusing on the correlation between vaginal microecology and HPV infection. Professor Hao pointed out that a British study analyzed the relationship between vaginal microecology and cervical lesions in 169 women, and found that the low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia of CST4 patients was twice as high as that of normal people. The development of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia is three times that of normal people. Finally, Professor Hao summarized the mechanism of vaginal microecology and cervical lesions: ① Pathogenic bacteria can increase the pH value of vaginal microenvironment, prolong the metaplasia period of squamous epithelium and promote epithelial cell dysplasia. ② At the same time, harmful metabolites such as propionic acid and butyric acid are produced to cause epithelial cell damage. ③ The pathological process is more conducive to the infection of HPV and other therapeutic factors, and plays a synergistic role in the occurrence and development of CIN and cervical cancer.

Professor Huang Jinchang from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine introduced the highlights of TCM treatment of gynecological tumors.

Professor Huang Jinchang gave a wonderful report on the prevention of rectovaginal fistula caused by chemotherapy of ovarian cancer with traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture to improve the efficiency of chemotherapy in patients with ovarian cancer, external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine to treat incomplete intestinal obstruction caused by radiotherapy of cervical cancer, moxibustion to support the smooth progress of chemotherapy, moxibustion to treat ovarian cancer ascites, and guiding the diet of patients with ovarian cancer according to pathological types. When introducing the treatment of ovarian cancer ascites by moxibustion, Professor Huang talked about the treatment of malignant ascites: ① Oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine-based on the situation of primary organ tumors and whether portal hypertension, hypoproteinemia and renal insufficiency occur. ② Umbilical moxibustion —— Li Zhao San (Radix Astragali, Herba Asari, Zanthoxylum, Solanum nigrum, Ramulus Cinnamomi, and Radix Kansui) is ground into fine powder, applied to Shenque point, and moxibustion at Shenque point is conducted for more than 1 hour every day, and the first time is more than 3 hours. At present, all of them use Li Zhao Ai, which is specially used to treat hydrothorax and ascites. ③ Acupuncture-treatment based on syndrome differentiation.

Professor Wang Dongmei, Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Prevention of Endometrial Cancer

At present, the etiology of endometrial cancer is not very clear. In the ACOG Practice Guide published by the American Obstetricians and Gynecologists Association (ACOG) in 2015, it is pointed out that the long-term effect of estrogen without progesterone antagonism (whether endogenous or exogenous) is related to the pathogenesis of type I endometrial cancer. Compared with patients who have not received hormone replacement therapy, patients who insist on using progesterone have a lower risk of endometrial cancer. The Expert Consensus on Screening and Early Diagnosis of Endometrial Cancer does not recommend routine screening for women with average risk and asymptomatic endometrial cancer, but recommends screening for women with high risk of endometrial cancer. At present, it is recommended that high-risk groups be screened every year. In addition, Professor Wang also mentioned that Chinese medicine has its own characteristics in the prevention and treatment of tumors, which contains rich preventive medicine ideas. Emphasize the three elements of preventing disease: preventing disease before disease; Prevention of disease and change; Recovery after illness.

Professor Xu Chunlin, Second Affiliated Hospital of Hebei Medical University, "Postmenopausal Genitourinary Syndrome GSM"

Professor Xu Chunlin made a detailed interpretation of the definition, pathophysiology and clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of GSM respectively. Professor Xu talked about five treatments for GSM, one of which is vaginal laser therapy: ① The existing data show that vaginal laser can induce morphological changes of vaginal tissue (increase the thickness of vaginal epithelium, increase the content of vaginal glycogen and collagen, and promote vascular reconstruction), and relieve vaginal dryness and sexual pain related to GSM. ② Micro-ablation CO2 laser and non-ablation bait laser(VEL). ③ For patients with mammary gland or high risk factors, non-hormone therapy should be the first choice to relieve symptoms. ④ Vaginal laser lacks RCTS and long-term safety research, but after evaluating the potential advantages and disadvantages, the need and cost of continuing treatment, patients who prefer non-hormonal treatment are preferred. Finally, Professor Xu Chunlin summarized this topic.

Professor Song Dianrong, Second Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, The Application and Advantages of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the Treatment of Gynecological Diseases

Professor Song shared the topic from five aspects: the background and advantages of Chinese medicine and western medicine, the complementary development and advantages of Chinese medicine and western medicine, the understanding of gynecological diseases between Chinese medicine and western medicine, the idea of treating gynecological diseases with integrated Chinese and western medicine, and typical case analysis. Among them, Professor Song shared five forms of diagnosis and treatment of diseases by combining traditional Chinese and western medicine: ① Western medicine diagnosis+traditional Chinese medicine treatment: if western medicine diagnosed menopausal syndrome, patients refused to accept hormone replacement therapy, and were treated with traditional Chinese medicine such as Zuo Gui Dan, You Gui Dan, and two to nine; ② Diagnosis and treatment are carried out in two ways, that is, dialectical western medicine plus dialectical traditional Chinese medicine: for example, in the acute stage of pelvic inflammatory disease, heat and toxicity are flourishing, and antibiotics are combined with traditional Chinese medicine (Wuwei Disinfection Drink) for clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting diuresis and expelling pus; ③ Traditional Chinese medicine as a supplement to western medicine: for example, surgical treatment and postoperative treatment of ovarian cancer, while chemotherapy is supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body resistance and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy; ④ Specific treatment of western medicine plus individual dialectical treatment of Chinese medicine: for example, in the treatment of infertility, western medicine promotes ovulation and corpus luteum support, and at the same time, different Chinese medicines are used in different periods of menstruation to promote follicular development, grow endometrium and help pregnancy with food and clothing; ⑤ Accept the diagnosis and prescription treatment of both Chinese medicine and western medicine at the same time: if the patient sees both Chinese medicine and western medicine, and takes both Chinese medicine and western medicine, there is no connection between them (not advocating).

Management of Postpartum Hemorrhage by Professor Jiang Rongzhen from Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital

Postpartum hemorrhage is an important cause of maternal death. What Professor Jiang Rongzhen shared with you is the liquid management of postpartum hemorrhage. Professor Jiang said that to prevent postpartum hemorrhage, we should be familiar with the basic diseases of pregnant women before delivery, pay close attention to placental factors, and use drugs scientifically and effectively during and after delivery. Fluid management before bleeding (the first stage of labor) includes identifying high-risk factors and preventing postpartum hemorrhage; The second stage of labor includes avoiding uterine contraction and opening venous access; Accurately evaluate the blood loss when bleeding, emphasize the construction of postpartum hemorrhage treatment team, and take measures to deal with postpartum hemorrhage at any time. Give fluid resuscitation to the parturient in case of severe bleeding.

Professor Liu Hongmei, Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to National Rehabilitation Aids Research Center, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies of Fetal Water Disease in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Fetal water is the ocean that breeds the fetus. Professor Liu Hongmei will give a lecture today on the diagnosis and treatment strategy of fetal water disease in traditional Chinese medicine. Liu Jiaoshou introduced that any amniotic fluid volume exceeding 2000ml in any period of pregnancy is called "polyhydramnios", and Chinese medicine is called "full fetus" and "full fetal edema"; The amount of amniotic fluid in the third trimester of pregnancy is less than 300ml, which is called "oligohydramnios", which is called "fetal wilting is not long" in Chinese medicine. Liu Jiaoshou summarized the TCM treatment strategies of fetal water disease: differentiating zang-fu organs, treating spleen at early stage, treating kidney at middle stage and treating lung at late stage, and treating the symptoms based on clinical experience, correctly diagnosing the cause and treating the cause.

Professor Li Daocheng, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Prevention and Treatment of Postpartum Urinary Retention with Traditional Chinese Medicine

Postpartum urinary retention refers to the disorder of micturition in parturient, which mostly occurs 6-8 hours after delivery. It is one of the common complications after delivery, which will cause maternal anxiety and urinary tract infection, lead to postpartum hemorrhage and reproduction, lead to bladder rupture and serious complications of renal failure. Professor Li said that the prevention and treatment methods of western medicine include psychological counseling and health education, scientific management of labor, pelvic floor muscle training and low-frequency electrical stimulation. The prevention and treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine include external use and internal treatment. External use includes acupuncture therapy, moxibustion therapy, acupoint application, acupoint pressing, acupoint injection and auricular point pressing, etc. Internal treatment mainly includes oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine, which is treated dialectically according to the clinical manifestations of patients.

Professor Cong Huifang took the incident of a 30-year-old woman jumping off a building with her daughter in Xiangtan on April 22 as the starting point of this lecture. Professor Cong introduced that postpartum depression disorder is referred to as "postpartum depression". At present, the incidence of postpartum depression is internationally recognized as 10-15%, which is three times that of the general population in the first five weeks after delivery, and gradually decreases in June after delivery, close to the general population. Postpartum depression not only harms the mother herself, but also harms the child’s health. The risk factors of postpartum depression include past mental history, life stress time, marital quality and obstetric factors. Professor Cong introduced the screening and diagnosis process of postpartum depression in detail. He also said that due to postpartum hemorrhage and blood stasis, it is necessary to make a clear diagnosis, judge the severity, treat patients dialectically according to their specific manifestations, and establish a good doctor-patient relationship.

China is a high incidence area of hepatitis B. Professor Bai Guiqin said that the risk factors of mother-to-child transmission of HBV include high HBVDNA load, HBeAg positive, drug-resistant virus and HBV gene. HBV screening should be performed before pregnancy. With regard to the treatment and management of pregnancy, all pregnant women who have first-time check-up in outpatient clinics need to check hepatitis B as required, and distinguish whether pregnant women are carriers of hepatitis B immune tolerance or active hepatitis B, so as to lay a solid foundation for hierarchical management of patients. Chronic hepatitis B carriers are given individualized management according to HBVDNA content. Professor Bai said that combined immunization has been proved to be the most effective measure to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HBV.

Professor Ning Yan of Shenzhen Maternal and Child Health Hospital "On the Clinical Application of Classic Prescriptions in Postpartum Diseases"

A pregnant woman’s illness related to childbirth within one month or one hundred days after delivery is called "postpartum disease".

Professor Ning introduced the clinical application of classic prescriptions in postpartum complications with clinical cases, and pointed out that in the clinical application of classic prescriptions, based on the principle of not staying in postpartum and not forgetting postpartum, the methods of strengthening the body resistance, eliminating pathogenic factors and removing blood stasis should be used reasonably, and dialectical treatment should be carried out according to the condition. Postpartum critical illness should be treated with combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Management Strategy of Early Pregnancy Complicated with Hypothyroidism by Professor Li Li of Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center

Professor Li Li gave a lecture on the management strategy of hypothyroidism in early pregnancy.

Maduro responds to US sanctions: immoral and illegal, and will sue.

  [Global Network Reporter Zhao Yanlong] On Monday (28th) local time, the United States announced sanctions against Venezuelan state-owned oil companies, and CNN said on 28th that this brought the most significant financial pressure to the troubled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro Moros. In this regard, Maduro subsequently criticized that the US move was "immoral and illegal".

  On Monday afternoon local time, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and National Security Advisor John Bolton announced in the White House press room that they were interested in the parent company of Citgo Oil Company — — Sanctions imposed by Petroleos de Venezuela,PdVSA). Bolton said that this measure will freeze the company’s assets of about 7 billion US dollars, and will lead to its asset loss of more than 11 billion US dollars in the coming year.

  The Associated Press said on the 28th that a few hours after the White House announced the sanctions, Maduro attacked it on national television, saying that the actions of the United States were "immoral and illegal". And directly shouted to US President Donald Trump, "Don’t interfere in Venezuela!"

  Sputnik news agency & radio reported that Maduro also accused the United States of "trying to steal Citgo from us" and said that he would take measures to protect government property in the next few hours, including filing a lawsuit in a US court.          

Shocked! Liaoning first publicly confirmed the existence of economic data fraud.

  Cctv newsOn January 17th, the Eighth Session of the 12th National People’s Congress of Liaoning Province opened in the People’s Hall of Liaoning Province. Chen Qiufa, deputy secretary of Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and governor, made a government work report on behalf of the provincial government. One of the highlights of the report is that it does not shy away from the problems and deviations that have appeared in the past. In his work report, Chen Qiufa confirmed for the first time that the cities and counties under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province had the problem of financial data fraud from 2011 to 2014, and pointed out that from 2011 to 2014, "official figures and figures were official", which led to the economic data being injected with water.

△ data map

  From 2011 to 2014, many economic data in Liaoning were falsified.

  The report quoted a document from the National Audit Office in 2016: "There is widespread data fraud in the municipal and county finances under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province, which has the characteristics of long duration, wide coverage and diverse means. From 2011 to 2014, the inflated amount and proportion showed an upward trend year by year. The reporter learned from relevant channels that the year with the highest inflated rate was 2014, and the inflated rate was as high as 23%.

  The problem of financial data fraud not only affects the central government’s judgment and decision on the economic situation in Liaoning Province, but also affects the scale of the central government’s transfer payment to Liaoning Province, reducing the available financial resources and people’s livelihood security capabilities of the city and county governments. " In addition to financial data, other economic data are also untrue.

  Economic data fraud, predecessor dug a big hole for his successor

  In 2014, when the Central Leading Group for Inspection Work visited Liaoning in the first round, it seriously pointed out that "there is a widespread problem of economic data fraud in Liaoning Province". "You are welcome to say that in terms of economic data, the previous one dug a huge pit." The director of the research office of a prefecture-level city government in Liaoning said sadly, "And it owes a huge debt of nearly one trillion yuan. Now Liaoning is not building on the flat ground, but climbing at the bottom of the pit."

  Since 2014, Liaoning’s economic data is very ugly. Regional GDP is negative growth, fiscal revenue has declined by double digits for a period of time, and investment in fixed assets has dropped by 60%-70%. In 2015, Liaoning’s fiscal revenue growth showed a double-digit decline. In this regard, researcher Liang Qidong, vice president of Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, bluntly said that this cliff-like decline for a period of time is difficult to be explained by an economic model. Apart from the fact that the economy itself is really difficult, there is only one possibility, that is, the previous economic data is untrue and there is widespread fraud.

  The New Liaoning Provincial Party Committee: Pursuing Real and Water-free Development

  In this regard, Chen Qiufa, governor of Liaoning Province, explained in the government work report, "We have seriously squeezed water under the pressure of ugly face. In 2015, we consolidated financial receipts and worked hard to consolidate other economic data since 2016."

  Li Xi, secretary of the provincial party committee, sternly warned the provincial party committee secretaries and the heads of major departments and bureaus for many times in the face of the falsification of data in Liaoning and the deceptive style of some cadres: whoever is in charge wants to make the local area develop faster and the data look better, which is a kind of responsibility. But we should pursue real development, development without water, and development with the unity of quality and benefit. "Never let flicker become a culture, let flicker have no market, and let flicker have no future!" .

one

  The impact of economic data fraud goes far beyond the economic field.

  The falsification of a local economic data first affects the judgment of the economic situation, the distribution of economic-related interests between the central and local governments, and the actual benefits of improving people’s livelihood.

  However, the negative impact of economic data fraud goes far beyond the economic field. Once the data fraud of party and government cadres at certain levels in a place becomes a habit and pervades the wind, it is not only data fraud, but also fraud in other places and many places that need credibility. If everyone thinks that data fraud is a habit of turning a blind eye and I turn a blind eye, then the social style, folk customs and, more importantly, the party style and political style of this place will be distorted. Party and government cadres in this place will lose their morality and rules, and eventually the party Committee and government in this place will lose the trust of the people.

  Solving data fraud: immediate pain and long-term benefits

  In the past two years, Liaoning has been working hard to solve the problem of data fraud. In the past two years, the provincial party committee and government of Liaoning Province have been emphasizing the problem of solving data and squeezing water. In the process of picking this cancer, the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government endured great pain.

  However, it hurts at the moment, but it is good in the long run. We have noticed that since 2015, Liaoning ranks last in the core data such as GDP in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country. Although the data for the whole year of 2016 has not yet come out completely, from the first three quarters, I am afraid that Liaoning is still in the last place. The growth rate ranks at the bottom of the country, and may even be negative. Under such circumstances, the local people are still trying to squeeze water and don’t look good for a while. This is a great determination and a lot of pain.

  But the immediate pain is to correct the party style and political style. The immediate pain is not only to restore the economic data to reality, but more importantly, to restore the political ecology of this place to normal.

one

  Curbing fraud depends on determination and more on effective mechanism

  Liaoning has made a great determination to squeeze water, and it will be maintained for a long time. It depends not only on determination, but also on many effective mechanisms to pick up the cancer of this data fraud, squeeze out the water in the data, and correct the party style and political style. For example, economic data should be multi-path statistics; There should be not only horizontal teams, but also vertical management teams for statistical teams; It depends not only on the calculated figures on the books, but also on some scientific methods, including data that can be tracked in real time by the Internet system, more accurate data that is not easy to be faked, such as electricity consumption and freight volume, and it is necessary to formulate a stricter mechanism, so that those fake figures can’t go on in the mechanism system. Once any fake figure appears, it can be quickly discovered and can be seriously held accountable in front of an effective mechanism. Therefore, With sufficient determination, effective mechanism and long-term and overall efforts to correct the party style and political style, these "cancers" can be truly removed and the "flickering wind" that once existed in this land can be truly eradicated.

Report on the layout of insurance enterprises and the development of pension industry in China

Author Wu Shixue

Edited by Wu Shixue and Michelle ChenMiao

Opening:

On December 4, 2019, the first "China Kangyang 30 People" Forum was held. Gao Jianguang, director of the Capital Utilization Supervision Department of the Insurance Company of the Ministry of Finance of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, China, revealed that by the end of September this year, 10 insurance institutions including China Life Insurance, Taikang Life Insurance and Taiping Life Insurance had invested in 47 community projects for the aged, which were distributed in 20 provinces and cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hainan, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Anhui, with a total bed size.

At the same time, the total amount of insurance funds invested in private equity investment funds in the upstream and downstream medical and health industries of pension and pension industries has reached 234.782 billion yuan.

According to the Report on the Development Model and Practice of Long-term Care Insurance in China issued by CPIC Allianz, it is estimated that the market size of China’s pension real estate will reach 7.7 trillion yuan in 2020 and 22.3 trillion yuan in 2030.

Three large insurance companies: China Ping An, China Taiping and Taikang Insurance invested more than 41 billion yuan in the field of pension real estate. Insurance companies such as China Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, New China Life Insurance, Sunshine Life Insurance, Hezhong Life Insurance, Qianhai Life Insurance, Evergrande Life Insurance, Junkang Life Insurance and Renhe Life Insurance have also announced or substantially intervened in the investment in the old-age community, and the total investment and planned investment has exceeded 100 billion yuan.

It can be seen that since 2006, insurance companies represented by Hezhong and Taikang entered the pension industry, the natural complementary gene of insurance+pension has been fully verified, and the insurance department has become one of the important forces participating in the investment+operation of the pension industry, and more innovative models will be born in the future.

This time, AgeLifePro will systematically review the motivation, participation mode, development process and future trend of insurance companies participating in the pension industry, hoping to bring some valuable reference to the pension industry.

part1

Why do insurance companies have laid out their pensions one after another?

one

policy support

The policy has experienced a progressive process from caution, to liberalization, and then to rational regulation. In 2009, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Measures for Insurance Investment in Real Estate and the Measures for Insurance Investment in Equity, which allowed insurance companies to invest in real estate and corporate equity, thus opening the prelude to policies to encourage insurance companies to enter the pension industry.

On November 19th, 2009, with the support of policies, China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Notice on Filing Taikang-Pension Community Equity Investment Plan, and approved Taikang to set up a pension community. In 2010, Taikang House was established, which indicated that the policy of insurance investment for the aged really landed.

Figure: Measures for the Administration of the Use of Insurance Funds

After the insurance companies have invested heavily in assets, the policies have become more rational and perfect. On January 24, 2018, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Administrative Measures for the Use of Insurance Funds (the "Measures for the Use of New Insurance Funds"). The new measures have two new principles: First, the use of insurance funds must be aimed at serving the insurance industry (that is, the well-known "insurance surname"), and second, the use of insurance funds should adhere to independent operation and not be interfered by shareholders in violation of regulations.

In addition, the new measures for the use of insurance funds and the Outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Insurance Industry in China issued by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission also mentioned that insurance funds should be allowed to invest in asset securitization products, broaden the service fields of insurance funds, and innovate the use methods of insurance funds (encouraging the establishment of professional insurance asset management institutions such as real estate, infrastructure and pension, and allowing professional insurance asset management institutions to set up mezzanine funds, merger and acquisition funds, real estate funds, etc.).

Focus on the development of insurance companies themselves

1. Investing in heavy assets for the aged can improve the solvency of insurance companies.

In the early days of insurance companies entering the pension industry, the investment speed of insurance companies is very fast. By investing in the pension community, we can evaluate and increase the value, create income on the books and improve the solvency. However, it is worth mentioning that after 2017, due to the control of the proportion and solvency of large-scale assets by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, the feast of evaluating and increasing the value of insurance companies’ investment in pension communities will no longer be available, and insurance companies will no longer be able to obtain solvency, but will be discounted accordingly.

2. It is conducive to alleviating the pressure of "mismatch between long and short" of insurance funds.

There are abundant insurance funds and a large number of investable assets, but at present, the funds mainly enter short-term investment channels such as bank deposits and government bonds, and the investment channels are relatively single, resulting in a mismatch in the maturity of assets and liabilities. As a comprehensive service industry, providing for the aged needs a certain amount of time to settle the service. Considering the long construction period of the old-age community and apartments for the elderly, it also needs a long-term and stable source of funds. Matching the two can alleviate the pressure of "mismatch between long and short" of insurance funds.

3. Promote policy sales.

Figure: Policy sales of listed companies docking with pension communities

The expiration and renewal of commercial insurance has always affected the stable operation of insurance companies. Insurance companies link insurance products with pension services and pension real estate membership, which can increase the attractiveness of insurance products, form differentiated competition, provide customers with more choices, improve customer stickiness and promote policy sales.

According to the survey of 21st century business herald, in 2019, CPIC issued 7,906 qualification letters for the elderly community; The occupancy qualification of Taiping Pension Community Project drove the initial premium of about HK$ 5.6 billion, and the contribution rate of the initial premium reached 18.8%, which became an important contribution force for Taiping’s life insurance companies to promote the growth of new orders.

4. Extend the industrial chain

The rapid development of the old-age care industry has spawned more and more formats. In addition to large-scale old-age care communities with heavy assets, there are also various lightweight service projects covering all aspects of the lives of the elderly. The distribution of insurance funds for the aged can deepen the existing life insurance customers, create services for the elderly around the whole life cycle, link up with engineering insurance, and link down with medical insurance, nursing insurance, endowment insurance, door-to-door service, etc., and then drive the overall development of the company and provide the comprehensive income of the company.

part2

Six innovative modes of insurance enterprises participating in pension industry

one

Real estate investment model based on old-age community

Since Taikang Home built a large-scale community for the aged (CCRC) on a large scale, this model has also become the "correct" idea for insurance companies to intervene in the elderly. This model is based on real estate, and only with the right to use or property rights of real estate can we get the corresponding pension services.

This investment model attaches great importance to asset layout, which can give full play to the comprehensive advantages of insurance companies and integrate development, investment and operation. At the initial stage of entering the pension industry, it was favored by some head insurance companies.

Under the old-age real estate model, the elderly can live in by paying a deposit and a monthly fee, or they can become members, or they can buy relevant insurance products to lock in the right to live in the old-age community in advance. Union Life’s insurance policy+physical endowment insurance plan, Taikang’s "Happiness with a Contract" insurance product innovatively links virtual insurance products with physical communities.

While Taikang, Taiping and China Life successively built large-scale old-age care communities and sold the right to use them, Ping An Real Estate Co., Ltd. also launched the first old-age care project that can sell property rights in Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province.

In addition to the typical CCRC product types, everyone insurance cooperates with BTG to build an urban pension complex by means of light asset leasing; New China Life Insurance transformed its office building into an apartment for the elderly and a rehabilitation hospital, which means that insurance companies have begun to cover the "urban institutional pension scene".

The service mode of going deep into the scene of community home-based care for the aged.

This model mainly provides old-age services for the elderly at home in the community. Insurance companies take advantage of their abundant policy information to provide corresponding intermediary services and charge relevant intermediary fees. This model has a good development prospect in the future under the overall situation that community homes occupy the mainstream of old-age care in China.

Because insurance companies only appear as service intermediaries or traffic platforms in this mode, the investment is light, and large, medium and small insurance companies can participate.

Love Life launched the industry’s first "Love+Home Care Product Plan" and became a leading explorer in the field of home care. This product includes a complete set of home care service system and builds an efficient service platform. Combining medical care with nursing care, through the "1+N" consulting professional service, we can solve the comprehensive needs of medical care, pension, nursing and rehabilitation in one stop.

In the early days of entering the old-age care industry, Taikang also took community home-based care for the elderly as the entry point. In January 2008, Taikang Home Wangjing Senior Club officially opened, but this exploration was unsuccessful, which eventually prompted Taikang to choose the heavy asset CCRC model.

three

Establish a professional endowment insurance institution

Since the establishment of the first pension insurance company in December 2004, there are currently nine professional pension insurance institutions in China, namely, caring for the elderly, China Life Pension, Taiping Pension, Yangtze Pension, Taikang Pension, Ping ‘an Pension, Xinhua Pension, Everyone Pension and Hengan Standard Pension, all of which were initiated by medium and large insurance groups.

The core business of pension insurance companies can be divided into trust-based asset management business and contractual commercial insurance business. Trust-based asset management business mainly includes enterprise annuity, occupational annuity, pension products, old-age security management products and third-party asset management business (issuing insurance asset management products and conducting fund management in special accounts of third-party institutions). Contractual commercial insurance business mainly includes health insurance, accident insurance and pension insurance. The specific business situation varies depending on the business development path of each insurance company.

Innovation of financial products for the aged

Figure: China’s three-pillar pension system

This model fits the insurance company’s industry. On the one hand, insurance companies can enrich the supply of commercial endowment insurance products and meet the differentiated endowment insurance needs of customers. Support qualified commercial insurance institutions to actively participate in personal tax deferred commercial pension annuity insurance and innovate housing reverse mortgage pension model. Happiness Life Insurance and People’s Life Insurance both operate reverse mortgage insurance business for personal housing pension.

On the other hand, participate in long-term care insurance. At present, the policy is vigorously encouraging commercial insurance to enter the field of nursing insurance. With the gradual expansion of the pilot scope of the long-term care insurance system, commercial insurance companies can play more roles in the future, and work with the government, individuals and other relevant parties to open up the payment system and promote the development of community embedded institutions. Taikang, China Life Insurance and Qianhai Life Insurance all participated in or calculated to participate in the field of long-term insurance.

five

Construct an ecological circle of insurance+medical care+pension

In this mode, insurance companies often pay attention to medical investment, and give full play to the comprehensive advantages of insurance, medical care and service from both online and online perspectives, so as to build a service ecosystem and realize the closed-loop business of B2B2C, in which pension is an important part.

Figure: Ping An Health Care Service Chain

Ping An has created an "insurance+health care" ecosystem, striving to achieve an online+offline health ecosystem of "upstream health prevention, midstream economic compensation and downstream medical services", and provide customers with life-cycle health management and medical services.

Photo: Pacific Insurance "Insurance+Health+Pension" Ecosphere

Similarly, one of the important directions of CPIC Pension Transformation 2.0 is to build an "insurance+health+pension" ecosystem. Among them, "Pacific Insurance Blueprint" medical service, "Pacific Insurance Wonderful Health" health interaction plan and "CWI Health Examination Center" constitute the "insurance+health" ecosystem; Through its life insurance companies, pension investment companies, Yangtze River pension, and cooperation with Pacific Oubaoting and third-party service providers, it constitutes an "insurance+pension" ecosystem. These two ecological circles can cooperate with the main insurance industry and realize ecological integration.

Sunshine Life Insurance and Qianhai Life Insurance respectively invested in the establishment of Sunshine Fusion Hospital and Guangzhou General Hospital of Qianhai Life Insurance, believing that there will be a further layout in building a healthy ecosystem in the future.

Underwriting comprehensive liability insurance for pension institutions

The daily operation of old-age care institutions will face various risks, and building a sound risk prevention and control system has become an important part of the smooth operation of old-age care institutions. Especially for some large-scale old-age care institutions, asking professional insurance companies to design relevant risk protection products can effectively avoid losses and prevent accidents.

According to the Notice of Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau on Relevant Matters Concerning the Implementation of Comprehensive Liability Insurance for Aged Services (J.M.F.F. [2012] No.424), in September 2012, People’s Insurance Company, Ping ‘an Company and China Life Company became comprehensive liability insurance underwriting companies for aged services in Beijing through government bidding.

The development course of insurance enterprises’ layout pension.

Review of the course of insurance enterprises building old-age community

2006-2012: Reference and Exploration Stage

Taikang, Hezhong, China Life Insurance and other insurance companies have visited the United States and Japan to inspect the operation experience of mature old-age communities and explore the construction and operation methods of old-age communities. In November 2009, Taikang Life Insurance took the lead in obtaining the permission of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission to obtain the pilot qualification of investing in the old-age community.

2012-2015: Initial stage of construction

The idea of insurance companies investing in the old-age community has become clear, and the old-age communities invested by insurance companies such as Taikang, Xinhua, Hezhong, Ping An and Taiping have been opened one after another.

In June 2012, the foundation stone was laid for "Taikang House-Yanyuan";

In June 2012, the foundation stone was laid for Xinhua Life Insurance "Xinhua Home" in Beijing;

In September 2012, the "Comprehensive Service Community for Health Care and Pension" invested by Ping An Life Insurance Company of China landed in Tongxiang, Zhejiang;

In October 2013, Hezhong Life Insurance established the first insurance pension community in China-"Wuhan Hezhong Younian Life Pension Community";

In October 2014, the foundation stone of "Wutong Family" of Taiping Life Insurance was laid in Shanghai …

2015-present: accelerate the layout stage

Insurance companies have accelerated the layout, more insurance companies have joined, and they have participated in the old-age care in different cities across the country in two ways: heavy assets and light assets.

By 2020, Taikang has laid out key provinces and cities in China, covering 22 cities in the core areas such as Beijing-Tianjin Wing, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Southwest China and Central China, among which 7 communities have opened, forming a chain operation trend in the east, west, north and south of the country;

China Life has the layout of Guoshou Jiayuan Yunjing (Beijing), Yijing (Tianjin), Lejing (Tianjin) and Yajing (Suzhou), and it also has two home-based retirement projects: Guoshou Kang Xin Community Yikang Home and Guoshou Fubao Community Yikang Home.

Taiping Life Insurance’s old-age community, Shanghai Taiping Wutong Family and Taiping Town Haitang Family, has now opened. In addition, Taiping cooperation projects include Shanghai Happy Home, Ningbo Xingjian Lanting, Dalian Yifang Yijinghui, Kunming Ancient Yunnan Famous City, and Beijing Contemporary Time;

The layout of China Pacific Insurance includes Chengdu International Support Community, Hangzhou International Support Community and Dali International Music Support Community. These three projects have all started, but they have not yet opened …

In addition, insurance companies such as Junkang Life Insurance, Tongfang Global Life Insurance, China Insurance, PICC Life Insurance and Guohua Life Insurance also began to provide for the elderly through investment or cooperation during this period.

2

The insurance companies formally laid out the time point for providing for the aged.

Judging from the time when the insurance companies formally laid out the old-age pension, most of the insurance companies that entered the old-age pension in the early days were large-scale insurance companies, and most of them laid out heavy assets. With the development of time, more and more small and medium-sized insurance companies are also involved in the cause of providing for the aged, and the old-age projects under construction have also changed from CCRC to apartments for the elderly to community home services. In addition, the way insurance companies participate in providing for the aged is more flexible and diverse.

part4

The echelon and location layout of insurance companies to develop old-age care

one

Layout of the four major insurance company echelons for the aged

Looking at the layout of these insurance companies, we can find that they have shown four echelons:

The first echelon is Taikang, Taibao and China Life, which have a clear style of play. Investing in the community for the aged with heavy assets has achieved remarkable results, insisting on the initial intention to continue the national layout, and attaching importance to the combination of medical care and rehabilitation nursing resources allocation.

The second echelon is Taiping and Hezhong. From the original intention to build their own old-age communities in many cities, they finally chose to change from heavy to light, and retreat to advance by means of equity cooperation and acquisition of nursing homes, which can not only reduce the "heavy", but also cut into the key areas of the old-age industrial chain and play an important role in the old-age market in the future.

The third echelon, represented by Xinhua and Ping ‘an, has long been laying out the old-age care and has certain strategic plans, but it is in a state of shallow taste and cautious wait-and-see for the development of old-age real estate.

The fourth echelon is represented by less well-known insurance companies such as Happiness Life Insurance, China Insurance, Love Life Insurance, Guohua Life Insurance, etc. Its mode of developing old-age care is extremely light, and it is innovating and exploring in a certain field. At present, it is mostly in the initial stage of old-age care.

2

The layout of insurance enterprises and the national and urban layout of providing for the aged

 

1. National layout

From the nationwide layout, Taikang Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, China Life Insurance and Hezhong Life Insurance are all based on the whole country, mainly CCRC.

Among them, Taikang Life Insurance has formed a nationwide chain layout, linking 22 cities, with the earliest and most perfect layout.

At present, the community under China Pacific Insurance is still in the process of preparation, which is firmly carried out in accordance with the layout of "East-West Progress, North-South Echo, National Layout and All-Age Chain", and has formed a trinity product system of "suburban support (middle-aged elderly people aged 70-79), living and enjoying (young elderly people aged 50-69) and urban support (over 80)".

China Life has implemented the "three points and one line, evergreen all the year round" pension industry layout, and some of its pension projects are still slowly advancing.

From the beginning, Union Life planned to deploy in second-tier cities nationwide, and finally contracted its strategy. At present, its main projects are located in Wuhan, Shenyang and Nanning, and some private nursing homes have been acquired in the Yangtze River Delta.

Different from the national layout of the above four insurance companies, Taiping Life Insurance has established itself in the Yangtze River Delta, and gradually cooperated with neighboring projects such as Ningbo and even the whole country, such as Dalian, Kunming and Shenzhen, from Shanghai to the whole country. Shouhou Everyone, New China Life Insurance and Sunshine Insurance occupy the layout of pension projects in Beijing. Qianhai Life Insurance started from Shenzhen, and will have strategies in Xi ‘an, Nanning, Chengdu and Hainan in the future.

Considering the development of the residence market, cities such as Sanya, Dalian, Kunming and Hangzhou are also favored by insurance companies. Insurance companies such as Taikang, Taiping and Hezhong, which have laid out national pension projects, can develop their residence business with the help of pension projects laid out in cities across the country. There are also some insurance companies that have plans to lay out their travel business, such as the travel series products that everyone intends to develop.

2. Urban location layout

In terms of urban location layout, from June 2012, when the foundation stone was laid for Yanyuan, the first old-age care community in Taikang, Beijing, insurance institutions started to build large-scale high-quality old-age care communities in the suburbs, entered the urban areas, and successively laid out some high-quality old-age care institutions. At present, insurance companies such as China Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, New China Life Insurance, and Everyone Insurance have all set up pension institutions in urban areas, thus forming a "urban+suburban" product line with full coverage.

According to Litwak, an American scholar, proper service provision for the elderly needs to go through three stages: when the health of the elderly is good, it is most beneficial to live in a community with homogeneous age; When the elderly are disabled, it is most beneficial to live in an age-homogeneous community near their children’s residence; When the degree of disability of the elderly develops to the point where they need 24-hour care, living in a nursing home is the most beneficial.

In the early days, Taikang Insurance, China Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, New China Life Insurance, Taiping Life Insurance, China Ping An, Hezhong Life Insurance, Junkang Life Insurance and other large and medium-sized insurance institutions laid out large-scale pension communities in the suburbs as standard. Nowadays, more and more insurance institutions have laid out pension communities in urban areas, such as:

The scheme of "one city chain 1+1" designed by Taibao Jiayuan. That is, the younger elderly can live in the Dongtan Retirement Center of Taibao Home in Chongming for a short time; Middle-aged self-care elders can live in Dongtan Retirement Center for a long time; The elderly with disabilities can be referred to Putuo Kangyang Community through the internal passage of Taibao Home to receive professional care services combining medical care and nursing, and to facilitate relatives to visit nearby;

Everyone’s insurance officer announced the layout mode of "providing for the aged in the heart of the city". At present, there are three old-age care communities located in the urban area of Beijing. In the future, we will start with light assets and lay out high-quality old-age care communities in the core area of the city, which are close to medical care, children and fireworks. "Close to the top three hospitals" will be the primary consideration for the location of old-age care communities;

New China Life Insurance transformed the office building of Liuliqiao in Beijing West Third Ring Road into a high-end nursing home with rehabilitation hospital;

China Life piloted the "Yikang Home of China Life Fubao Community" in Shenzhen.

Prospect of the future trend of insurance+pension

Stones from Other Mountains —— American Experience

Figure: Classification of old-age communities according to different service types.

According to the experience of the United States, according to the different clients, the community for the aged can be divided into six types: active elderly community (AAC), independent living community (IL), assisted living community (AL), professional nursing community (SNF), memory nursing community (MC) and continuous care community (CCRC). It can be seen that with the gradual decline of the self-care ability of the elderly, the types of services they need are more and more professional, and the requirements for the residential community are getting higher and higher, especially the ability of professional care and medical treatment.

Figure: American pension real estate operation mode

American pension real estate involves investors, developers and operators, who form a complete market-oriented system of financing, construction and operation. Among them, the project manager is separated from the holder. The mainstream investor is Real Estate Trust Fund (REITs), which is responsible for raising funds for the development and operation of the project. Developers are responsible for planning and developing pension real estate projects, and operators operate and manage well-developed projects.

Operators adopt two ways for the project. One is the net lease mode, in which REITs companies rent the property to operators, and the operators charge a fixed rental fee every year, and the operators bear the direct operating expenses, community maintenance fees, taxes, insurance fees, etc. The second is the entrusted management mode, in which REITs entrusts its properties to operators, and the operating costs and income are attributed to REITs.

In addition to REITs model, American pension communities can be divided into two different types according to the developer-led or operator-led: one is the developer-led Sun City model, which is aimed at active health of the elderly aged 55-70 and led by real estate developers, and can recover investment and generate profits through the sale of pension concept houses; The second is the CCRC model led by operators, which takes the form of renting to serve three types of elderly people: self-care, intermediary assistance and intermediary care, and only provides real estate lease rights and service enjoyment rights.

Excerpt from "2020 Senior Housing Outlook Report"

According to the "2020 Senior Housing Outlook Report" published by SHN, in 2020, Private equity, public REITs(Private REITs, Institional institutions, etc. are all buyers of housing for the elderly.

At the same time, the financing sources of American housing for the elderly have expanded, and both Private equity and Bank/Finance company have played a great role in the financing of housing for the elderly.

Five Future Trends of Insurance Companies’ Pension Development

Compared with the experience of American pension housing, it is found that the development, investment and operation of China’s pension market are still not very mature. In the past few years, the entry of some large insurance companies and real estate companies has promoted the rapid development of the pension market, but various market participants have not formed a clear division of roles, and many enterprises are integrating investment, development and operation. Until these years, this situation has changed, and there have been more cases of division of labor and cooperation based on their respective professional fields.

Photo: Taiping Life Insurance official website-Taiping Enjoy Home

For example, Taiping Life Insurance has only built Shanghai Wutong Family and the newly opened Sanya Begonia Family. The rest of the projects, such as Shanghai Happy Home, Ningbo Xingjian Lanting, Dalian Yijinghui, Kunming Ancient Yunnan Famous City, Beijing Contemporary Time Li, Suzhou Hecheng and Hangzhou Langhe International Medical Center, are all strategic cooperation projects.

In 2017, Taiping Life joined hands with a third-party organization to launch Taiping Life’s community brand-Taiping Lexiangjia. According to the plan, in the future, at least 16 cities across the country will match the resources of Taiping Lexiang Family Pension Community. Under the unified brand management, all communities in Taiping Lexiangjia carry out standardized management and formulate reasonable and consistent marketing, check-in and check-out procedures. At the same time, the community can also jointly carry out residence business.

In addition, the designated cooperative units of Taiping Life Insurance’s pension service experience include: Yuenianhua Support Center (Shenzhen), Runhua Songhe Support Center (Shenzhen) and Zangmashan Support Community (Qingdao). This mode of cooperation can further make up for the shortcomings of insurance companies in the urban distribution, scale, type and location of pension projects, and provide customers with more choices.

Take China Life as an example. At present, China Life’s community project for the aged is progressing relatively slowly, but it has made some efforts in the field of community home. On December 29th, 2020, the first comprehensive community service center for the aged in Yantian District, which was jointly established by Yantian District Government and China Life Insurance, officially opened. So far, China Life’s community home-based care projects have included: Yikang Home in Fubao Community, Yikang Home in Kang Xin Community, Yuexiang Center in Yantian District, and Youxiangjia Health Care Center in Luohu District under construction.

In addition, Bohai Life Insurance, Tianjin Daji Development Co., Ltd. and Beijing Yangzheng Investment signed a strategic cooperation on the "Home-based Care for the Aged" project in China Jihai Shipping City, Tianjin.

According to the development of the old-age community over the years, zhang yi, vice president of Junkang Life Insurance and general manager of the Health Industry Division, summed up these stages:

Among them, in the "1.0" stage, the property of real estate is stronger, and the procedure is usually in the form of property rights sales of real estate developers and basic old-age services provided by third parties;

The "2.0" stage is a relatively mainstream format with the concept of CCRC in the current market, that is, providing relatively standardized high-quality catering, medical care, care and entertainment services for the elderly in large communities;

In the future "3.0" stage, it will become a trend to realize customization and meet individual needs through science and technology. Specifically, through data mining and intelligent analysis, we can build intelligent systems including smart home, face recognition, mobile housekeeper, vital signs detection, cloud health detection, telemedicine, etc., and provide high-quality and personalized health services and living environment for the elderly through big data analysis.

Figure: Maimai Smart Pension Solution

Therefore, in the future, smart devices and technology will empower the elderly on a larger scale, and insurance companies should also be prepared for this.

On the other hand, insurance companies can also introduce some innovative practices from the main business of insurance, and provide feasible reference ideas for the innovative development of insurance and finance.

Zhu Junsheng, a researcher at the China Insurance and Pension Research Center of Tsinghua University Wudaokou Finance College, said in an interview: "With the increase of the aging population, people’s attention to risks is increasingly shifting from the risk of death to the risk of survival, and more and more attention is paid to old-age care and health … Commercial health insurance and old-age insurance can play a greater role in multi-level medical care and old-age security system."

Figure: Health insurance

As early as 2018, Ping An Insurance launched the first flagship product for the elderly group in its official APP Ping An Health: Ping An I Kangbao Geriatric Care (three-high version), which guarantees "accidental hospitalization+cancer hospitalization" and the insurance age is open to 70 years old, covering the three-high population of "hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia". And such insurance products for the elderly will be more and more.

All the above cases indicate that in the process of developing old-age care, insurance companies have formed five development trends:

1. Pay more and more attention to the direction of light assets, community home and inclusive old-age care, and be more rational and diversified in the layout of old-age care. And more and more emerging insurance companies can also intervene in the cause of providing for the aged in the form of light asset cooperation.

2. Considering the overall situation of home care and community care market, "light assets+heavy services+insurance products" may become a breakthrough point for insurance companies to realize profits in the field of pension real estate. Leaving aside the construction of large-scale old-age communities, insurance companies have a lot of room for innovation in traditional life insurance, long-term care insurance and personal commercial old-age insurance products. If they are matched with community home-based old-age care services, they can further expand the market.

3. With the country giving more support and encouragement policies to the financial innovation of insurance, in the future, insurance participation in pension can amplify the financial attributes of insurance, carry out financial innovation for C-end, and design insurance+pension products with the idea of "combining consumer insurance with savings insurance".

4. Smart devices and technology will empower the elderly on a larger scale. Insurance companies should increase investment in science and technology, break through the "fence" of communities and nursing homes, and provide accurate and thoughtful services for more elderly people with pension needs.

5. Union Life has started to deploy overseas in the industry, and I believe that more insurance companies will participate in it in the future. Foreign pension enterprises are more mature and have a lot of high-quality and cheap assets, which are worth investing by China insurance companies. Moreover, with the hot development of residence, including foreign travel routes will be more popular with customers.

Various ways for insurance companies to develop old-age care

1, with the help of the group’s internal resources to build a community for the aged.

This model appeared in the early stage of the exploration of pension real estate. Some large-scale insurance parent groups have diversified business formats, and there are professional real estate companies under them. They often use the internal resources of the group to set up projects for elderly housing, and the successful projects can be sold to the market. In fact, the selling community model is no different from real estate development, which can quickly recover funds and obtain development profits, thus realizing rolling development. However, under this model, it is difficult to guarantee the community’s old-age service.

The "Comprehensive Service Community for Health Care and Pension" built by Ping An Insurance in the early days was developed and constructed in conjunction with China Ping An Real Estate Group, which integrated three product lines: pension apartment, family community and holiday leisure, with a total construction area of 1.5 million square meters.

The project adopts the mode of "both renting and selling", that is, like commercial real estate, property rights can be bought and sold. Member products are operated by Ping An Real Estate, which only rents and does not sell. At that time, this model was the only pension real estate developed in the form of "selling+holding operation" in the financial department.

Figure: Health Valley Member Service System

Evergrande Real Estate, the parent group of Evergrande Life Insurance, has built the Evergrande Health Valley, creating four parks, namely, Yiyang, Changle, Kangyi and Parent-child, providing 852 types of facilities and 867 comprehensive health management services, covering the whole life cycle from pre-pregnancy, infants to centenarians.

At present, the completed Evergrande Health Valley has been sold to the market. It is understood that Evergrande Health Valley will provide health care and old-age care services to customers through the membership mechanism of "rent, purchase and travel". Customers can become members by renting, buying products in Health Valley or traveling and living in Health Valley, and get membership rights such as health insurance, high-end medical care, health management and health care services. 

Evergrande Life put forward the strategic model of "insurance guarantee+ecological pension+combination of medical care and nursing care", and issued the permanent endowment insurance, which creatively combined insurance products with the old-age community to provide customers with a package of pension plans linking financial planning and pension entity services.

Photo: Everbright Peace of Mind Pension Plan

Everbright Life Insurance launched the "Everbright Peace of Mind Pension Plan", which connects insurance products with Everbright Huichen Pension Service Community to provide customers with a package of pension solutions of "insurance+pension community" and realize the combination of financial products and physical pension. "Everbright Peace of Mind Pension Plan" is divided into two sub-plans:

Plan A serves mid-to-high-end customers through "insurance+long-term care for the aged+preferential service for the aged living in residence", and locks in the occupancy right of Everbright Community in advance for customers. The occupancy right is further divided into "guaranteed occupancy right, priority occupancy right, preferential price right, experience occupancy right", etc., to provide customers with more and clearer protection, with up to six rights holders, including not only customers and their spouses, but also parents of both parties. In addition, the right holder can also enjoy the service of living and providing for the aged at preferential prices all over the country from the date of insurance;

The content of plan B is "insurance+preferential right of living service", with low payment threshold and wider coverage. Six rights holders can enjoy the same level of living service in plan A in advance without staying in the old-age community.

In 2019, Xingbao launched "Star Pension"-a comprehensive solution of pension insurance and pension community. Relying on Fosun Real Estate’s Healthy Honeycomb Platform, the two parties jointly create an exclusive pension community scheme for Fosun Prudential Life Insurance customers-customers can reserve pension annuity by purchasing corresponding insurance products of Fosun Prudential, and Fosun Real Estate promises the rights and interests of customers to stay in the "Fosun Pension Community" in the future. It is reported that if the total premium is more than 2 million, the insured can get the qualification to live in an old-age community.

China Merchants Guanyi Home launched the "Renhe Yijia Comprehensive Pension Plan", with the development strategy of "the same platform, giving equal attention to both light and heavy, and combining medical care with nursing care". China Merchants Renhe Life Insurance focuses on the whole industrial chain of pension insurance products, pension community development and pension community operation services.

Specifically, the pension community in Guangzhou Golden Valley (Renhe Yijia Heyuan) is only open to customers who buy insurance. Only by purchasing more than ten designated insurance products, including "China Merchants Renhe Zhaoying Jinsheng Annuity Insurance" and "China Merchants Renhe Heyue Life whole life insurance", and the accumulated premium payable reaches more than 2 million, can they be eligible to apply for the pension community.

2. Innovative gameplay of insurance+pension

Figure: UC club membership rights

China Insurance launched the UC Club of New Life, and launched membership service for the junior and old people. Members who join the club can enjoy services such as learning, medical care, traveling, doing something and having fun. It is also known that United Life also has plans to form a new senior club.

Guohua Life Insurance has established three companies on medical health and old-age care: Hainan Guohua Kangyang Co., Ltd., Gongqingcheng Zhongke Xukang Medical Industry Investment Partnership, and Guohua Residence Kangyang Co., Ltd. At present, the company’s work in medical care, old-age care and other aspects is in the preparatory stage, and there is no more definite information to disclose.

Love Life put forward the four-in-one ecological strategy of "medical care and insurance" for the aged. In 2020, China International Fair for Trade in Services released the first "insurance+service" home-based care product in the industry-"Love+Home-based Care Product Plan", which provides home-based care solutions for the elderly with the combination of "annuity protection+medical care service".

In addition, Love Life is also a pilot agency for long-term care insurance in Beijing, and has set up a special team with rich experience in care management services, and has become one of the eight financial institutions selected by China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission Financial Support Community Home Care Service Agency Project.

Happy Life, supported by the national policy, launched the reverse mortgage pension insurance product "Happy House Laibao reverse mortgage pension insurance for the elderly (Clause A)", and invested in regional leading pension institutions all over the country through the special equity investment fund for medical pension.

Zhonghong Life Insurance cooperates with Greenland Kangyang to create a cross-border innovative cooperation model of "insurance products+high-end pension community+Kangyang hotel", organically combining insurance financial products with physical pension services to provide customers with more comprehensive pension solutions. This indicates that Zhonghong Insurance has made important progress in building a "health+pension" dual-engine strategic layout.

tag

Insurance and old-age care both start from the whole life cycle of people, and they are strongly related. Looking at overseas, insurance companies have always been an important pillar of the development of old-age care. The social security and market profitability of providing for the aged coincide with the original meaning of the insurance industry.

On the level of social security, the overall security level of the three-pillar pension system in China is relatively low, with the first pillar dominating, but there are also problems of low security level. Therefore, the participation of commercial insurance can improve the level of social security to a certain extent.

As far as market profitability is concerned, with the improvement of the living standards of the elderly and the enhancement of their ability to pay, the demand of the elderly for commercial insurance products is increasingly prominent, and the inclusiveness of products and services with various asset properties is also increasing. There will be great market space for commercial insurance companies to cut in from this aspect and participate in pension real estate, insurance products and pension services.

In recent years, after the previous heavy lifting asset layout, insurance companies are slowly returning to rationality and becoming more and more clear about their own positioning-"insurance surname". They should form differentiated competition through providing for the aged, innovate services, give full play to the advantages of insurance+and build a big healthy ecosystem.

At the moment when long-term insurance is ready to come out and commercial insurance can play more roles, we believe that all insurance companies will participate in the pension industry in their own ways in the future, which makes us more full of expectations for this industry.

It is a textbook answer! In the future, the new energy vehicle replacement mode is clearly encouraged by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Cctv newsRecently, at the press conference on the development of industrial communication industry in the first half of the year held by the State Council Office, Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, gave a detailed introduction to the characteristics of new energy vehicles’ power exchange mode when answering a reporter’s question, which was clear in organization and could be called a textbook answer.

He believes that charging and changing electricity are both ways to supplement the energy of electric vehicles, each with its own advantages, its own application fields and consumer groups. At present, although new energy vehicles have made great progress, they are still in the early stage of industrial development. The technical route and business model are still being explored and changed. He suggested that everyone should support the innovative development of new technologies, new formats and new models, encourage enterprises to develop new charging and power exchange technologies, and explore the application of the mode of separation of vehicles and electricity to meet the needs of different markets.

Compared with the charging methods that you know more about, the power exchange mode also has its own characteristics. Xin Guobin can be summarized as follows.

First, the separation of vehicles and electricity can greatly reduce the cost of consumers buying cars.Now it is generally felt that new energy vehicles are relatively expensive, although the state has a subsidy policy. Moreover, the subsidy policy of this country has made it clear that the slope retreat will be completed by the end of this year. Due to the impact of the epidemic, it is decided to postpone the progress of slope retreat, and it can be extended for another period. Therefore, the separation of vehicle and electricity can greatly reduce the cost of car purchase for consumers.

Second, it can increase the convenience for consumers to travel.The time for changing batteries is even shorter than that for adding a tank of oil. Relevant comparisons show that, for example, if the power station is changed now, it takes less than 3 minutes for the car to drive in and out, and it takes 5 minutes or 8 minutes to add a tank of oil. Therefore, changing electricity is actually very convenient as long as you get used to it.

Third, the centralized monitoring, maintenance and management of batteries by battery operating companies is conducive to prolonging the life of power batteries and improving the safety of batteries.Consumers buy new energy vehicles, and many people just drive them, so the care, attention and maintenance of the vehicles are not so timely. In fact, the battery is also a very fragile component. In addition to the battery monomer, there is also the management problem of the battery pack, which requires high technical requirements and needs to be maintained and tested in time during use. Otherwise, there is a great risk during charging and one hour after charging. Once the thermal control and management are not good, deflagration may occur. Even with this problem, the spontaneous combustion rate of new energy vehicles is lower than that of traditional vehicles. Centralized management by battery operating companies can improve the safety of batteries. In fact, it is very important to change the concept. It is natural and normal for traditional cars to go to gas stations to refuel, so it should be possible for new energy vehicles and electric vehicles to change batteries and rent electricity.

The fourth is to use the difference between peak and valley electricity prices to reduce the charging cost.At present, new energy vehicles are often driven home to charge at night and charged at peak hours, so the price of electricity will be relatively high. If a battery operation company manages batteries, it can fully use the peak-valley preferential electricity price to charge, which can reduce the cost of renting batteries.

Fifth, we can consider how much electricity to rent that day according to the daily mileage.At present, the basic driving range of new energy electric vehicles is 400 kilometers, and a set of batteries in a car is six or seven hundred kilograms, which accounts for a high proportion of vehicle weight. In fact, most people don’t travel more than 50 kilometers a day. Imagine that if you want to run 50 kilometers today, you can rent 50 kilometers of batteries instead of carrying 400 kilometers of batteries, so the weight of the car will be greatly reduced and the power consumption will be greatly reduced. For the whole society, if everyone does this, it will be a great savings. If you are worried about how to rent 50 kilometers of electricity, as a battery operating company, you can do it if you want 50 kilometers and allocate 70 kilometers of electricity just in case there is a little problem.

There’s another way,It can solve the problem of difficult construction of charging piles in old communities.Now, there is still a concern for people to buy new energy vehicles. They live in an old community and need to build a charging pile. The voltage load in this community is not enough, so they can’t install it. When the charging pile company wants to install in this community, it encounters some problems, such as insufficient power load. Who will expand the capacity? Who will pay for the expansion? Therefore, it brings a series of problems. The construction of charging piles in old communities is a social problem and difficult to handle. Therefore, if the power exchange mode is adopted, this problem can be effectively solved.

Sixth, the power exchange model can also give birth to some new service formats.Nowadays, express delivery is very convenient. You can get to your side in 10 minutes by making a phone call. If the industry adopts the mode of changing electricity, engages in a tram and swims in the street, whoever proposes to change electricity must ensure that it will arrive within 10 minutes. In fact, there is no technical problem. This may give birth to some new service models.

Of course, there are still many problems to be solved to promote this power exchange mode. For example, the overall design of the vehicle, the battery box should be standardized and unified, there should be national standards, and the battery should also be standardized, whether it is soft or hard, square or cylindrical, the specifications should be standardized. In addition, the plug-in of batteries should also be standardized, which still needs further exploration.

However, from a technical point of view, there should be no major problems. Therefore, in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will continue to vigorously promote the construction of this charging and replacing infrastructure with relevant departments, further improve relevant technical standards and management policies, and encourage enterprises to develop battery replacement models according to usage scenarios. It will also support pilot projects in places like Beijing and Hainan to promote the high-quality development of new energy vehicles.

In this regard, some places are still moving faster, such as Beijing, where enterprises are ready to push this mode of power exchange. In some fields, such as buses in public transportation, some electric buses adopt the mode of changing electricity. In the field of taxis, some have adopted the electricity-changing mode. For example, after the taxis in Beijing adopted the electricity-changing mode, the order-taking rate increased by more than 30%, the driving mileage increased by nearly 30%, and the personal income of taxi drivers also increased by more than 30%.This is a very beneficial model for all parties.

In the next step, relevant departments will actively promote it. Xin Guobin also put forward an initiative. Welcome everyone to publicize these new things and new formats, give them more encouragement and support, let them mature at an early date, and make more contributions to the green development of the whole society.

In Taiwan Province, China, how was the game demonized?

Author: Hu youtian

In the 1980s, although the slogan of "anti-communism and anti-Russia" gradually became popular in Taiwan Province with the economic development and the international situation, the traditional Confucianism combined with modern nationalism and the college entrance examination "one test for life" advocated by the Kuomintang still dominated the society. Emerging video games, which were called "electric toys" in those days, have also been regarded as a scourge that hinders corruption and teaches bad children.

After the appearance of video games, the history of a synchronized demonized game in Taiwan Province began slowly.

After the martial law was lifted in 1988, "nationalism" failed, but the doctrine of further education was still very strong. At that time, the "electric room" (arcade hall) was often described in TV and newspapers as a place to hide evil people, not only cigarettes, gangs, gambling, but even drugs. For example, it is reported that the boss of the electric room put amphetamines (a central nervous stimulant, the structure of which is similar to that of methamphetamine) in the air conditioner, and cooperated with the overwhelming anti-drug advocacy in that year (including TV dramas, TV advertisements, campus publicity and newspaper topics), which further amplified the panic and hostility of parents and quickly surpassed the "billiards room" (also known as "billiards room", which is called billiards in the mainland) as bad teenagers.

These notoriety are not all wrong. In the 1980s, as a by-product of the "economic miracle", the folk gambling in Taiwan Province was fierce. Apart from the most powerful "Cafe de coral" (relying on the underground Mark Six lottery and various variants of the "patriotic lottery" issued by the authorities), there were also various gambling video game machines. At first, it was imported, and then the powerful local electronics industry quickly pirated mass production, not to mention poker machines, slot machines and mahjong machine. One of the most popular models is "Little Mary", which looks more casual. You can play with a coin from 5 yuan or 10 yuan (the price of a pack of snacks or drinks in that year), and the biggest prize is 50 or 100 yuan, depending on how the shopkeeper sets the small prize.

By the end of 1980s, "Little Mary" had flooded the whole island, and it was spread all over the grocery stores in the streets and lanes. All the children ate it, and many children lost a lot of breakfast money and pocket money on it. As for the serious operation of the electric room, there are many ways to mix and match the general machines and gambling machines. It is said that as long as the black and white lines are well cleared, it will return to the capital very quickly, which is undoubtedly a profiteering industry, and all kinds of vicious incidents are of course indispensable.

The next picture shows that the police seized the coins eaten by this machine, with 9600 yuan (source: Taiwan Province Apple Daily).

In 1988, the film "A Great Joy in the World" portrayed the strange current situation that everyone’s music flooded Taiwan, and Chu Ke-liang, Shengli Zhuo and other leading actors played it to the bone, because in reality they were so crazy that they lost to a debt. The opening song of A Great Music in the World is written and composed by Chen-Nan Tsai, based on the seven-character tone commonly used in traditional folk songs, with a lively and funny modern arrangement and a cheap female voice Echo. Although it is not a stunning work in music, it is extremely competent as the theme song of the film.

That’s beside the point. I went to primary school around 1990, and was influenced by propaganda, so I subconsciously felt repulsive to the electric car outside, and irrationally thought it was "chaotic" and didn’t want to get close to it or ask about it. Intellectually, I hate the smell of smoke, noise (at that time, the amusement park stereo was very loud) and spending money, so I would rather play computer and Nintendo at home, and I am a little complacent about being disciplined and able to play.

My brother is four and a half years older than me. After I went to middle school, I had more experience in playing video games outside with my classmates. I remember that he proudly told me about various racing games. The real feeling and feedback of holding the steering wheel was really beyond the reach of home computers and PCs. However, I couldn’t play well once or twice, so I didn’t regard playing video games outside as a cool thing like people of his age, a little rebellion in adolescence.

Of course, not all electric rooms are chaotic. From the 1980s to the early 1990s, there was a large electronic playground in the basement of SOGO department store on Zhongxiao East Road in Taipei. My parents took us there several times, where smoking was banned (although it was still very noisy), gambling and video games were not allowed, and many parents and children had fun. The image was relatively good, and it seemed that they were free from those bad things. However, only a few stores were able to wash away the white with the fashion sense of "department store" label. It is said that in 1996, the number of motor rooms in Taipei reached its peak, exceeding 30,000.

Here, instead of checking this statistic in detail, let’s just say a scene that can make everyone feel more vivid — — A cram school Under the doctrine of entering a higher school, since childhood, few students around me haven’t made up their lessons. The most intensive cram school area in Taipei is Nanyang Street near taipei main station, which of course has become the first-class war zone in the electric room. It is said that there was a whole row behind Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store. Some middle school students, because they want to play video games outside at night, tell their parents that they want to go to cram school, and their parents are happy to pay for it when they see that he is motivated.

A cram school is a place where all kinds of students from the front school to the back school gather, from those who have the strength to volunteer for the first three years to those who just come to let parents spend money to buy peace of mind, so there are a lot of dragons and snakes in the electric room around them. If you want to appeal to the pain points of parents and teachers, take an evidence that video games are poisoning teenagers, and just take a shot at that place.

Middle school students play video games under the pressure of the entrance examination, and college students are left unattended (of course, some people play less because they are left unattended, so they no longer have the sense of resistance). In 2016, I saw a speech by the political commentator "scum text", recalling that the student autonomy system was implemented in the boys’ dormitory of National Taiwan University, so he was in college for 4 years, and there were "large electric rooms, comic book shops and billiards tables with more than 6 tables" in the boys’ dormitory.

Here, the accusation of "teaching bad children" is no longer applicable, because my alumni are doing this with full consciousness, and many of them later got a place in politics, each contributing to the downfall of the Kuomintang from outside or inside. This is another chapter of "those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished."

Get down to business. Why was 1996 the highest peak of the electric workshop in Taipei? Because that year, a "Zhou Ginseng video game fraud case" was exposed: Zhou Ginseng, who runs dozens of gambling video game shops, paid bribes to police and prosecutors for a long time, amounting to tens of millions of yuan, which was called "eating ginseng" in the circle. The number of people involved in this case was as large as the police earthquake, when the news was very big.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Shui-bian, then the "Mayor of Taipei", promoted the revision of the Rules for the Regionalization of Land Use in Taipei in 1997, which included a "1000-meter clause" that showed his lawyer’s skill: anyone who applied for a amusement park license must have a storefront more than 1000 meters away from schools, hospitals and libraries. When this 1-kilometer circle is drawn down, only the suburbs and mountains are left, which is equivalent to a complete ban. So arcade halls quickly disappeared in Taipei.

Gambling is basically banned in Taiwan Province, so it is not controversial that gambling video games are banned, but the general arcade is also implicated. In fact, the public is not ignorant of this. We young people also think that gambling video games are played by middle-aged and elderly people, which are not attractive to us in terms of gameplay and can’t compete with those exquisite and exciting fighting, action, shooting and racing. We grew up with these things, and we are also easy to accept complex role-playing, strategy, adventure and other game types on home computers and PCs, which the previous generation did not understand and were not interested in. The non-gambling game that can be eaten by all ages seems to have only Tetris in mind.

In short, it is clear to everyone to distinguish which games are harmful, but many people want to ban them indiscriminately. In those days, Chen Shui-bian did a brilliant job: he didn’t bother to distinguish the types of machines from the good and the bad, and he didn’t carry the political notoriety of one-size-fits-all (after all, he attached great importance to young people’s votes), but used the "1000-meter clause" to make a radical effort to achieve the de facto ban effect.

As for the task of distinguishing game machines, it was left to the legislature, which did not produce results until January 2000 — — According to the Regulations on the Administration of Electronic Game Fields, there are three kinds of game machines: gambling game machines are defined as "entertainment" electronic game machines, general games are defined as "educational" electronic game machines, and there is also a kind of "steel ball machines", that is, Bai Qingge or various small steel ball machines. Of course, this classification method has a lot to complain about, and it has also caused all kinds of dissatisfaction and inconvenience when it is implemented later. For example, when Ma Ying-jeou and Hao Longbin were mayors, the popular music game machines such as "Taigu Daren" appeared in the underground streets of taipei main station and many shopping malls. I am not sure about the supervision, but I have seen that some manufacturers posted their own music machines and used such names as "training machines" when applying for registration with the government. As far as I can remember, no one clamored that the "electric room" was back. How can I help it? Or: Why can’t other types of non-gambling arcades all come back?

Why is this happening? We’ll talk about it later. Let’s talk about 1997, the beginning of the decline of arcade culture.

According to the usual routine, parents, teachers, social elites and other groups should be happy and applauded at this time. Young people, especially arcade enthusiasts, are depressed and hate Chen Shui-bian, and then the profit-seeking operators are still unwilling to give up and continue to operate underground.

However, the development of the times is too fast, and it can always surpass the routine. Zhou Renshen’s case and the ban of arcade hall have little influence on the development of video games in Taiwan Province, because another similar product has appeared and taken over the market seamlessly. This kind, you should be able to guess, is the Internet cafe (Internet cafe, called Internet cafe in mainland China).

According to the retrieval data, the first Internet cafe in the world was born in Britain in 1994, and the first Internet cafe in Taiwan Province, Supernova Internet Cafe, was set up near Taiwan Province University not long after (the specific time is to be tested). At that time, online games were not popular, and Internet cafes only provided internet services and simple snacks, or services such as fax, photocopying and scanning. Later, around 1998, a "strategic master" opened in a prime location of Zhongxiao East Road, with an hour’s worth of 90 yuan NT dollars. At that time, the most popular games were Starcraft and Age of Empires. By 1999, there was even "Starcraft".

I remember that the strategic master opened on the second floor of the Apollo building, near Lane 216 where the MRT was loyal to filial piety and dunhua station and the food group gathered, and now he is a dentist (taken on June 18, 2018, when I went home for business, I took a photo by the way).

I was in high school for three years, from 1998 to 2001, and experienced the all-round rise of Internet cafes. Our classmates called going to Internet cafes "connecting", connecting after school, connecting with cut class, and connecting when I was tired of studying at night. A group of common classes in Class 947 and Class 956 attached to our Normal University gave themselves an muddy number — — "4567 Brigade", Lin Linli of our class once played "CS" with others and won a championship in a certain competition, winning tens of thousands of dollars. Later, we connected with him and really couldn’t beat him at all.

Internet cafes have been opened one after another, and the price has quickly dropped to around 30 an hour in 50 yuan (in other counties and cities, it is as low as 20 yuan). Even the "OPEN Billiards Gymnasium" near our school has entered a batch of computers to serve students from many schools, so that you can pick a pole (play billiards) and connect at one time. Lynn is also very strong in pole-picking. He said that he usually picks poles with his father. This enlightened parent should have played a lot when he was young. By the way, the middle school attached to our normal university is the top three volunteer schools.

So what if arcades are banned? There are also home machines (formerly known as "TV games"), which were not banned before, and now they can’t be banned. Even if parents can keep their children away from playing musical instruments, they can’t keep them away from computers, and computers are taught in schools. Maybe there are still many people in the countryside who haven’t touched computers, but in Taipei, it should be said that every school and class can find a bunch of computers that are more powerful than teachers, and they can use various means to break the ban of computer classrooms, fill them with games, and even play online on the local area network. The computer class in our first year of high school is even connected with Quake, or play King of Kings on MUD.

Special recommendation: The Adventures of Dank and Scud (Riad. PK. edu.pl), a 1997 Quake comic book, was written by Michael Houston. I saw the report in Computer Player that year and went after the serial. This ancient webpage of 21 years ago is still there today.

What is the "1000 meter clause"? You can control the game machine, but not the computer. Computers can also be used to do business, and the electronics industry is the strongest industry in Taiwan Province, which can’t be simply demonized like arcade, home computer and billiards. For us students, since computers are serious things, going to Internet cafes is not as guilty as going to video games or pool rooms, or the psychological burden of being labeled as a bad teenager.

This is also due to a good start made by strategic experts. It is located on the second floor of the prime location building, with clean windows and no smoking. Moreover, every computer is equipped with headphones, which will not disturb others. At first impression, it will not be as dirty and noisy as those small electric rooms before. In particular, "no smoking" is very important. Smoking or not is an important label to distinguish good students from bad teenagers. Although I ask myself not to discriminate against smokers, I always hate the smell of smoke. There is smoke in the pool room and the old electric room, so I don’t want to go, but I am willing to go to the Internet cafe.

 

Happily, in those few years, the problems of teenagers racing and gangs were common social headlines. Many of us have seen heavy machines (heavy motorcycles) for dyeing hair whizzing by near our school. If you look at them more, you may be yelled at by people in the car: "What are you looking at!" -Yan, with the pronunciation of xiáo, with the orthographic word "?", is transliterated from Minnan language "semen" in Mandarin. However, after the rise of Internet cafes and online games, racing people seem to disappear and play games instead.

Of course, so many locomotives and gangs are still there, but they don’t make trouble in the real world. As a result, after getting rid of bad labels such as racing family, heavy locomotives have become sunny. After all, heavy locomotives are an important means of transportation in Taiwan Province. When I was in college and held a high school reunion, the most common thing people talked about was motorcycles. The most impressive news was that a group of college students took a motorcade up the mountain to play, and they were cursed by their grandmother who opened a grocery store on the mountain. The grandmother’s swearing was very fluent, and the students were greatly admired. All of them were humbly taught, saying that they would come to scold her next time, and grandma told them to pay attention to safety. Even swearing has become so warm. Although it can’t be said that this is the direct effect of video games, we can read a lot of intriguing atmosphere evolution from the pasting and shedding of all kinds of "labels".

Internet cafes, of course, are not without the criticism of moralists, but in Taiwan Province society at that time, the conservatives have been suppressed by liberals in a broad sense in the struggle for the right to speak. Although there are still many conservatives, they are hard to convince and lose momentum, just like the old Kuomintang. Politically, Lee Teng-hui is engaged in localization and educational reform, and he is relying on post-modern pluralism to replace the traditional Confucianism represented by the old Kuomintang with modern nationalism. In other words, Taiwan Province can no longer preach the slogan of "studying for the rise of China" to young people. That’s why it seems that there are no longer demonized games in Hongkong and Taiwan Province ── it’s not that adults have awakened and their prejudices have been eliminated, but that people who hold this opinion have lost their voices and will be covered up if they call them occasionally. Therefore, it should be said that the moralists in mainland China are relatively happy, and there is still a national justice that can be used.

Adults are then left with pornographic and violent labels and "addicted to games — Can’t read well — Can’t get into a good school — The economic reason of "I can’t find a good job" can demonize the game, but if we want to talk about the economy, once the game industry becomes bigger and the traditional channel of further studies and job hunting becomes more and more difficult, then the chain of blame will be broken. Of course, the game industry is not a savior, but anyway, everyone has no way to save the economy in Taiwan Province, and some of them can’t be implemented. However bad the game industry is, at least it is being implemented, and there are many achievements that drive upstream manufacturers. Therefore, from the utilitarian point of view, the game can’t be said to be a legitimate industry ── although it is also tired and hard to earn. However, it is precisely because the game industry is far less cool than playing games, and even worse than other industries, and public opinion is mostly sympathetic and contemptuous, so more and more people are willing to admit that games are legitimate industries. This makes no sense, but this is the reality. Therefore, no one wants to argue about what kind of game machine the music machine should be. It depends on when the law will be amended, and then another result that takes public opinion and administration as the main considerations is inconsistent with the actual needs.

The above has not talked about pornography and violence. To this day, there are still many parents’ groups who, in the name of protecting children and teenagers, attack all kinds of games and advertisements with soft pornography or violent elements, and every time they can get a certain space, they have their political energy. However, the reality is that I want to be thorough here: most of us who pay money love pornography and violence. There have been many dialogues and debates in this regard, but no matter how we argue, the basic bottom line in our hearts will not change, that is, "I don’t want it" and "I want it", so no one may be persuaded. Everything on the surface is just thinking about a plausible statement, but in fact, everyone doesn’t want to care about these superficial articles.

"Can we let these things flood in order to make money?" This is a powerful cross-examination, but if repeated too many times, it will easily lead to an irritating sincere answer: "I think so" or directly call him "idiot". It is true that many people neglect their business because they are addicted to games, but if you want to hit the whole game industry with this point, you will get a choking voice: "Don’t delay the game if you fail in education." "People who are addicted will be fascinated by others if they are not fascinated by this."

Addiction is indeed a problem that should be discussed, but we don’t want to come to a conclusion that we don’t like, and we are afraid that after reaching a consensus, we will be used by unreasonable annoying people to pressure me, so we would rather keep this confrontation without dialogue. Even if we really want to discuss it, we must make sure that he is one of our own, that we are really here to solve the problem and not make trouble, and then be careful not to let this result be used as a handle. Therefore, our personal wisdom will grow, but it is difficult for the group.

Problems in Taiwan Province can often not be mediated through rational communication and debate, but disputes can be transferred and abandoned through various deviant means or violence from outside. Those who have the means show their magical powers and exploit loopholes, and they get what they want. Those who have no means, just let them do what they want. The electric room was covered by the "1000-meter clause", and so was the generation of Internet cafes. By the time the iPhone came out in 2007, this was especially true after the boom of mobile games. In recent years, elders have also started to play games with tablets, becoming children one by one, and our generation has grown into the backbone of society. Time is the greatest violence, and no one can survive it.

We can often feel that human beings are like isolated islands from such a cold world. We struggled to connect each other with culture, and now games can make us feel connected and warm each other. I think, if we want to seriously talk about why there are fewer demonized games in Taiwan Province now from the emotional level, it is because people can more and more understand this lack of identity and the comfort that games can bring in this detached network age.

Why Andy Lau Can Keep His Love Secret (Photos)


Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian date and watch the Olympics


  The opening of the Olympic Games, Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian will go to Beijing to watch the event, the media and the public have guessed the mystery for 23 years, and finally have a clear ending.


  Their affair always reminds me of Yi Shu’s novel "She is Lonelier than Fireworks". The female star Yao Jing tried her best to hide her experience of ***ting married and having a daughter before her debut. After she passed behind, the reporter discovered this secret, but also found that everyone in the circle knew it well, but: "Our generation is a little tighter, it’s not that the virtues are particularly good, but what we don’t want, don’t do to others… Since Yao Jing wants to take this matter as her secret, let’s accompany her to be ******." It turns out that a secret becomes a secret because it is regarded as a secret. Of course, Andy Lau can protect this secret, but also because he and the reporter still abide by an old-fashioned way of ***ting along, with a bottom line, mutual benefit, and forgiveness.


  But twenty years later, looking back, it has been covered with a period of hard moonlight, and many things are confusing. Not only was the relationship between celebrities and reporters confusing, but the entertainment values at that time were also very strange. Stars had to assume that they were people in comics and try to present an illusion of stagnation. One of the means was to conceal their love and marriage, thus creating many wives and sons that were suddenly unearthed today. Andy Lau made his debut as an idol. Although the definition of an idol gradually changed, he was unfortunately held in mid-air, always guarding the original image of the jade man and a secret that was not a secret for a long time.


  Several times, the truth has come to the lips. From the time when it was said that Andy Lau paid tuition for 16-year-old Zhu Liqian to attend Zheng Mingming’s makeup training class; to the concert in 2001, Wu Junru said: "Let me tell you, Andy’s real son is actually a foreigner, her name is Zhu… Li…", and the same voice appeared in the audience: "Zhu Liqian." Wu Junru said: "Juliet, it’s me." (Wu Junru starred in "Juliet and Liang Shanbo"); this year, Andy Lau and Zhu Liqian jointly did good deeds at a Buddhist event in Hong Kong. The result is about to come out, only one person is missing.


  Keeping such a secret requires the cooperation of two people, and Zhu Liqian has always cooperated, because that is the only way to realize her original wish. In 1985, at the 4th Miss Trendy beauty pageant in Malaysia, 14-year-old Zhu Liqian announced her wish: "I like Andy Lau the most. In the future, when I look for a partner, it is better to be his type." After the game, she went to Hong Kong to participate in Zheng Mingming’s makeup training course, learning bride makeup. She walked in the direction of the bride step by step. Although the process was a little long, victory was still in sight. Life, determination is really important.


  The most important thing for a person is to know what they want. Once they have set an ambition and set a goal, they will always try to achieve it. Zhu Liqian is not particularly scheming, but she is determined in her goals. She doesn’t care about Andy Lau’s affair, and she doesn’t even seem to be curious. She just emphasizes her existence in a subtle way when he has an affair. Her wish is to be a wife, nothing else matters. To be a wife, be a shadow first.


  This method could win over most men. To become the final winner in a man’s marriage history, one must first learn to be a shadow. Twenty years later, many values have changed, but this one alone has not changed so far.

The U.S. military slashed its defense budget just to aim at the "current war"?


US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates


  When US Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the defense budget for 2010 on the 6th, he stressed that the US military should drastically reduce the expenditure on R&D and purchase expensive and advanced armaments, and invest more resources to meet the equipment demand in real battlefields such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Analysts said that although it is still unknown whether Gates’s budget can be approved by the US Congress, it reflects a certain shift in the US military strategy.


  Give up some "advanced" weapons


  According to the defense budget submitted by Gates, the US military plans to reduce or stop some expensive arms production and R&D projects that are not needed at present.


  As far as the navy is concerned, a plan to develop a new cruiser based on DDG1000 design will be abolished and the fleet upgrade plan will be suspended.


  In the future, the navy will continue to use the main ship type "Ali Burke" class destroyer used in recent years.


  It is said that the DDG1000 destroyer is a multi-functional warship that can avoid radar detection.


  After the design of this destroyer, it was delayed to be delivered for manufacture, but the cost climbed to more than $3 billion per ship in the past 10 years. Therefore, the US Navy called for abandoning the project, but under the lobbying pressure of congressional interest groups, it only reduced the number of reserved ships from 32 to 3.


  In the defense budget, Gates set the premise for purchasing the three ships under construction, that is, the contractor needs to move the two scattered construction sites to the same dock, otherwise the navy will only consider purchasing one of them.


  As far as the Army is concerned, the $160 billion future combat systems R&D project will be cut.


  Gates specifically pointed out that the chariot research and development project costing $87 billion in the system will be cancelled.


  In view of the fact that roadside low-tech bomb attacks are the main cause of American casualties in the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, Gates thinks that instead of developing light chariots with advanced concepts, it is better to spend money on anti-mine ambush vehicles. Based on a South African chariot in the early 1990s, this armored vehicle is said to have effectively reduced the casualties of American troops since it was put into use in Iraq.


  For the Air Force, Gates intends to cancel the VH-71 presidential helicopter project costing $13 billion, the C17 new transport aircraft project and an advanced military satellite research and development plan, and at the same time reduce the production of each F-22 fighter at a cost of $140 million, which will be discontinued after 187 fighters are produced.


  The F-22 fighter, nicknamed "Raptor", is the most expensive fighter in active service of the US military and the first fourth-generation fighter in the world. Although it has the functions of stealth and supersonic cruise, it is not suitable for helping the US military to deal with roadside bombs in Iraq or hunt down terrorists hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan. Gates said that F-22 fighters are of little use to American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.


  Increase the need of real war


  While proposing to cancel and reduce many weapons programs, Gates announced that he would increase funds for other weapons programs. Gates suggested that the navy buy more ships with fast sailing speed, which is beneficial for the military to carry out offshore missions, and suggested that the Air Force increase the number of F-35 joint attack fighters purchased from 14 in fiscal year 2009 to 30 in fiscal year 2010, and the project funds increased from $6.8 billion to $11.2 billion. Gates also said that the Pentagon will increase the funds used to fight against anti-American militants in Iraq and Afghanistan, equip special forces to hunt down terrorists, stop reducing the number of air force and navy personnel, and expand the size of the US Army and Marine Corps, with an increase of 65,000 for the Army and 27,000 for the Marine Corps.


  Gates also proposed to allocate $2 billion for the research and development and application of surveillance technology, including the addition of 50 Predator drones. It is said that since the beginning of this year, the US military has repeatedly dispatched Predators to crack down on Al Qaeda and Taliban forces hiding in the border areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Serve the "current war"


  American public opinion believes that the main purpose of the defense budget submitted by Gates is to serve the "current war". The expensive armament project that Gates plans to cut is either a combat system formed during the Cold War or an advanced project aimed at mastering the hostile forces of super-sophisticated technology, which is not in line with the current situation. He stressed that what the United States needs is weapons that can be used to equip American soldiers to fight against real enemies.


  The Los Angeles Times believes that Gates’ purpose is to shift the focus of military spending from large-scale wars against traditional rivals such as China and Russia to small-scale conflicts against armed forces such as the Taliban, which is the first step for the Obama administration to rebuild the US military. This fundamental and directional change in the focus of national defense spending is essentially to increase the ability of rapid deployment of troops, global response and information warfare, reduce the equipment needed for large-scale wars, and reduce the investment and installation of heavy equipment and traditional large-scale weapons development projects in accordance with the "need to guide contracts", rather than mainly considering meeting the requirements of various services and arms and indulging their selfish greed.


  Correspondingly, the deployment of the US missile defense system may also be adjusted. In the defense budget submitted by Gates, the expenditure on missile defense projects will be reduced by $1.4 billion. He proposed to increase investment in regional anti-missile projects targeting missiles with short range and relatively limited strike capability, but to cancel or postpone the deployment of projects targeting intercontinental ballistic missiles.


  Although the day before Gates’ defense budget was published, North Korea announced the successful launch of an experimental communication satellite, and arms dealers such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin took the opportunity to lobby that Gates would strengthen the existing multi-layer missile defense system in the United States in the defense budget, but it was not adopted in the end.


  Military spending still ranks first in the world.


  Analysts said that Gates’ defense budget was a helpless move when the United States was mired in the financial crisis and faced with financial difficulties. Gates himself said bluntly that the purpose of proposing to cancel those eye-catching sophisticated weapons programs is to save money.


  Even so, once Gates’ plan was announced, it caused doubts in the United States. In addition to worrying about whether the United States has the ability to defend its homeland security after reducing conventional weapons, public opinion also believes that this plan will certainly not be approved by Congress. Because the plan harms the interests of arms dealers, these arms dealers will inevitably put pressure on members of Congress who represent their interests and obstruct the adoption of the plan. Even if it is passed, it must be transformed in the implementation.


  International public opinion generally believes that the so-called worry about the impact of Gates’ reduction of the defense budget on American security is simply unnecessary, because Gates’ plan to reduce large-scale advanced weapons and equipment is itself based on "the United States’ military strength is the only one." Although many armament projects have been drastically reduced, the total defense budget submitted by Gates in 2010 will still reach $534 billion, up from $519 billion in 2009. In fact, the total defense budget of the United States has accounted for more than 40% of the global military expenditure for many years. If the cost of counter-terrorism is added, its defense expenditure is almost equivalent to the sum of all other countries and regions in the world.
