The Look of Women

Xinmin Weekly Issue No. 33， 2018

Some people say that after the reform and opening-up， Chinese women become more beautiful. They can choose hairstyles at their will； the possibilities for apparel are limitless； and interest in trending products are surging. Chinese women have become quite fashion conscious.

From the changes in womens clothes and ornaments， we can appreciate an open China.

In the past 40 years， the personal destiny of women and the progressive development of Chinas womens causes have been synchronized with the glorious era of the reform and opening-up.

China has a female population of 660 million. Since the founding of the PRC， China has made tremendous progress in safeguarding womens rights， and has accumulated rich experience in promoting equal and harmonious development of both sexes and safeguarding womens rights and interests. President Xi Jinpings speech at the Global Summit of Women systematically expounded the position and viewpoint of the Chinese womens causes. He pointed out that in the process of the Chinese peoples pursuit of a better life， every woman has the opportunity to live a brilliant life and make dreams come true. China will more actively implement the basic national policy of equality between men and women， give full play to womens roles， and support women in realizing their worldly ideals and dreams of life.

Standing at the Door of the ICU

Minsheng Weekly Issue No. 16， 2018

When it comes to the intensive care unit （ICU）， many people feel terrified. It is a place where the line between life and death becomes blurred.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the discipline of critical care medicine. In the past decade， intensive care medicine has developed rapidly. The number of ICUs and practitioners nationwide has been increasing， and related expertise and skills have become more popularized. However， this discipline is also facing some social misunderstandings.

No one is willing to give up their loved ones， and no doctor is willing to give up the patient， but the ICU is not a panacea. Liu Dawei of Peking Union Medical College Hospital said frankly that medicine is often powerless. At that point， good communication with the patients family is of great importance.

With the extension of peoples life expectancy， the overall number of critically ill patients will increase， and the patients condition will become more complex.

Critical care medicine is the last line of defense to save fragile lives. Relieving the suffering of patients is also one of the important tasks of medicine. Critical care medicine will try to alleviate the suffering of the patient， but only if it is possible to let the patient survive. The complications of life in death in the ICU are matters that the entire society needs to develop an informed understanding of. It is hoped that relevant policies and laws will make this aspect more perfect.

2003-2018： 15 Years of Taobao

Economic Weekly Issue No. 16， 2018

The Taobao Maker Festival is one of the most-watched events Alibaba holds each year， highlighting the ingenuity and originality of young Chinese inventors， designers， and product makers.

On the way to exploring new vistas， the 15-year-old Taobao seems to have never lost enthusiasm：

In the nascent stage of e-commerce， Taobao first realized that online shopping is not simply the doing of offline transactions online， but a thorough paradigm shift， which requires innovative measures. Half a year after Taobao was launched， Alipay was born， and creatively solved the trust problem in online shopping with the implementation of secure transactions， and laid down the fundamentals of the next evolution of e-commerce in one fell swoop.

Providing the first experience of online shopping for most Chinese netizens， Taobao used to be a trading platform. Today， on the commercial relationship between buyers and sellers， a community atmosphere is added. At the end of 2010， a greeting card from a Taobao shop owner caused a sensation， and netizens followed suit. The “intimate” network style was born. Nowadays，“honey” has become a greeting for many Chinese people to say hello. It reflects the blending of Taobaos youth culture and traditional culture.
