Innovative drugs "going out to sea" speed-up cooperation mode is more diversified

  Since the beginning of this year, innovative pharmaceutical companies have gone out to sea again. Pharmaceutical companies such as Yaoming Bio, Maiwei Bio and Anrui Bio have announced that they have reached overseas authorized transactions. The insiders believe that intensive overseas authorized transactions fully prove that the R&D strength of innovative pharmaceutical enterprises in China has been recognized by international pharmaceutical companies. The ecological pattern of domestic biomedical industry is being reshaped, and the mode of cooperation with foreign pharmaceutical companies will be more diversified in the future. With the adjustment of industry structure, it is expected that 2024 will be a year in which transactions and mergers and acquisitions among pharmaceutical enterprises will become more frequent.

  R&D strength continues to increase.

  With the rapid development of the industry, the research and development strength of biomedical enterprises in China has been continuously enhanced. According to incomplete statistics, there were at least 120 overseas authorized transactions of innovative drugs in China from 2021 to 2023, with a total transaction amount of nearly $85 billion. In 2024, innovative drugs went out to sea to speed up. As of January 14th, domestic enterprises have completed more than 10 foreign authorization transactions, including many transactions exceeding 1 billion US dollars.

  Genxi Bio has announced that AstraZeneca has completed the acquisition of the company. After the merger, Genxi Bio became a wholly-owned subsidiary of AstraZeneca. AstraZeneca previously said that the acquisition of Genxi Bio will further consolidate AstraZeneca’s strength in the field of cell therapy.

  Since the beginning of this year, several products of Anrui Bio have obtained overseas authorization, including an exclusive option and a global license agreement with AstraZeneca, and the development and commercialization of a new allosteric inhibitor targeting the mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)L858R as a potential new treatment for advanced EGFR mutation non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). With the transfer agreement with Avenzo Therapeutics,Inc.(Avenzo) of the United States, Avenzo will gain the global (except Greater China) development and commercialization rights of a cyclin-dependent kinase 2(CDK2) selective inhibitor ARTS-021 independently developed by Anrui Bio, and another pre-clinical project will be submitted to IND (new drug clinical trial) in early 2025.

  Ding Qiang, co-founder and CEO of Anrui Bio, said that through cooperation, the company can obtain significant economic benefits and accelerate the development and listing of innovative drugs.

  Chen Kan, a partner of Qiming Venture Capital, said that the cooperation between Anrui Bio and foreign pharmaceutical companies all involved small-molecule drugs, which on the one hand proved Anrui Bio’s research and development strength, and on the other hand reflected that small-molecule drugs could also be "put out to sea".

  In addition to well-known biotech listed companies, there have been an increase in overseas authorized transactions of small biotech companies such as Yilian Bio, Anrui Bio and Bowang Pharmaceutical, as well as traditional pharmaceutical companies such as Hengrui Pharma and Haosen Pharmaceutical.

  In Chen Kan’s view, China pharmaceutical companies and overseas pharmaceutical companies have reached a heavy cooperation, reflecting the recognition of domestic new drugs by international pharmaceutical companies. At the same time, domestic pharmaceutical companies can get cash support. In the process of cooperation with large international pharmaceutical companies, including joint promotion of clinical trials, China Biotechnology Company can also learn a lot of experience.

  Share risks and obtain resources.

  Ding Qiang said that cooperation with overseas pharmaceutical companies should be based on comprehensive consideration of the company’s strategic objectives, research and development capabilities and market demand. The cooperation between the company’s two pipelines and AstraZeneca and Avenzo Therapeutics is based on comprehensive considerations. Drug R&D costs a lot and risks are high. Cooperation with large pharmaceutical companies can share risks to a certain extent, especially in clinical trials and marketing stages. In addition, cooperation with overseas pharmaceutical companies can obtain many resources, including funds and market channels, which is very important for accelerating product development and commercialization. Of course, cooperation needs to consider whether the goals of both parties are the same, whether they can support their long-term development strategy, and how to protect their intellectual property rights and avoid the loss of core technologies.

  Sinopharm plays an important role in two overseas authorized projects reached by Anrui Bio. It is reported that Sinopharm is an innovative company focusing on helping domestic biomedical enterprises to authorize projects overseas. Ding Qiang introduced that Sinopharm provided the whole process service for the company, from the preparation and modification of materials, strategic analysis and optimization, to assisting Anrui to connect and communicate with potential partners, and to negotiate and negotiate relevant terms, which greatly helped the company to reach overseas authorization.

  For pharmaceutical companies planning to "go out to sea", Jung Lee, senior vice president of business development of Sinogold Pharmaceuticals, suggested that China Biotechnology Company must ensure that the product lines are differentiated and meet the unfinished medical needs. In addition, setting up branches overseas can better understand the current biotechnology trends and cutting-edge scientific progress.

  Ding Qiang said that enterprises planning to go to sea need to have the world’s leading scientific research strength and unique product innovation. At the same time, it is necessary to deeply understand the situation of potential partners, especially the pipeline layout and the overall strategy of the enterprise. Multinational pharmaceutical companies have their own strategic direction and different layouts in different fields of disease treatment. A deep understanding of the business scope, market strategy and corporate culture of their partners can help the two sides establish closer and more efficient cooperative relations. In the cooperation agreement, many terms and details need special attention, including key factors such as intellectual property ownership, economic sharing, milestone payment, etc. It is necessary to make legal risk assessment and compliance preparation in advance to ensure that the cooperation activities meet the requirements of local laws and regulations.

  Watch the three subdivided tracks

  Looking forward to 2024, Chen Kan judged that the number of pharmaceutical companies "going out to sea" in China will remain high. From the past transactions, the clinical data of pharmaceutical companies in China have gained more and more global recognition. Overall, we are optimistic about the three sub-segments of tumor, metabolism and autoimmune.

  Chen Kan believes that it is necessary for most new drug R&D companies to "go out to sea", especially to develop some small varieties of new drugs that are less suitable for people. Drug pricing in overseas markets is relatively high, and pharmaceutical companies "going out to sea" can expand the market and improve the input-output ratio. The domestic pharmaceutical industry will improve in 2024.

  From the perspective of cooperation modes, Chen Kan said that there are more and more cooperation modes for domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies, including obtaining down payment through overseas authorization, acquisition and joint development. Jung Lee believes that more and more innovative drugs from China will go global, and there will be more transactions between China biotechnology companies and multinational pharmaceutical companies than before.

  Great Wall Securities believes that the "going out to sea" mode of Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises is mainly based on overseas authorization. From January 1 to February 4, 2024, the amount of overseas authorized transactions in China reached 9.146 billion US dollars. In 2024, China’s pharmaceutical "going out to sea" is expected to explode.

Implementation Opinions of Yunnan Provincial People’s Government on Promoting Foreign Trade to Stabilize and Improve

State and municipal people’s governments, provincial committees, offices, departments and bureaus:

  In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of "Several Opinions of the State Council on Promoting Foreign Trade to Stabilize and Improve" (Guo Fa [2016] No.27), actively respond to the complicated and severe situation facing foreign trade, reverse the continuous downward trend of foreign trade, and promote the stabilization and improvement of foreign trade in the province, combined with the actual situation in our province, we hereby put forward the following opinions:

  First, make every effort to promote foreign trade to stabilize and improve.

  (1) Intensify market development. Continue to consolidate traditional markets such as ASEAN, South Asia, the European Union and North America, vigorously explore emerging markets such as Oceania, Africa and South America, accelerate the expansion of national and regional markets along the Belt and Road, and gradually diversify the foreign trade market. Support all kinds of business associations and intermediaries to organize enterprises to participate in well-known exhibitions at home and abroad, and help enterprises meet customers, seize orders and open up markets. Give support to enterprises participating in large-scale exhibitions at home and abroad.(The Provincial Department of Commerce, the Department of Finance, and the Yunnan International Expo Bureau are respectively responsible for their duties.)

Yunnan Provincial People’s Government

July 20, 2016

(This piece is publicly released)

Exclusive Secret: What is the "Prime Minister’s New Year Gift Package"?

  Chinese pays attention to traditional etiquette, and the Prime Minister is no exception. On February 13th and 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Keqiang walked into Pudong Village, a Dong stockade deep in the mountains of Liping County, and brought a rich "New Year Gift Package" to the villagers.

  1. Send special products out of your own pocket

  What’s in the "spree"? First of all, of course, those local specialties that the Prime Minister personally selected and bought out of his own pocket. On the morning of 13th, when Li Keqiang inspected the supply of Spring Festival market in Liping market, Guizhou, he also prepared a "gift package" for visiting poor households in mountainous areas in the afternoon.

  In order to ensure that these new year’s goods really meet the needs of villagers in Dongzhai, the Prime Minister never forgets to ask every time he passes a booth: What should the local people prepare for the New Year? What sells best? Finally, under the enthusiastic "sales promotion" of the stall owners, the Prime Minister paid several times and purchased several large packages of local specialties.

  In the afternoon, Lin Xianping, a poor villager in Pudong Village, took over from the Prime Minister in his drafty wooden building.Pickled fish, Ciba, rice wine, Dong fruit, melon seeds, fried rice and other local specialties..

  However, despite consulting local market vendors, the Prime Minister is still a little uneasy about his "gift package".

  "How’s your mouth? Can these be chewed? " He asked Lin Xianping’s parents who were over seventy. After receiving a positive reply, the Prime Minister showed a satisfied smile.

  2. Dangerous houses in villages will be rebuilt.

  In addition to the "visible" special products of the New Year, Li Keqiang also brought some invisible "gifts" to the villagers. Next to the charcoal stove in Lin Xianping’s kitchen, the Prime Minister and the Lins sat around chatting and asked them how much land they had, whether the food was enough, how much the minimum living allowance was every month, and whether they had joined the medical insurance.

  He also specially opened the rice jar for storing surplus grain, grabbed a handful of grain and rubbed it: "This is glutinous rice! No wonder you just said that you can only play 400 kilograms per mu of land. "

  A village cadre next to him smiled and said: "The Prime Minister has been a branch secretary of the brigade, and he is familiar with these!"

  Lin Xianping told the Prime Minister that he now has a minimum living allowance and joined the new rural cooperative medical system, and the harvest of farming can also guarantee food rations, but the biggest difficulty at home is that the house is too shabby and has no money to repair it.

  "You show me!" Li Keqiang got up at once, climbed up the second floor along the shabby wooden stairs and frowned at the leaking windows and old wires.

  "If this catches up with mountain torrents and windstorms, how can people live in a tight place? It will be even worse in case of fire! " He said, "this is a pain in our hearts!" "

  After leaving the Lins’ wooden house, Li Keqiang told the local person in charge that Pudong Village must be included in the system arrangement of centralized contiguous poverty alleviation and development and precise poverty alleviation.

  He said loudly to the villagers who gathered around him: "The government is determined to transform your village, and you must live in a safe and comfortable new house and live a real’ new countryside’ life!"

  3. Drinking water is safe and secure

  Pudong Village is a national first-class poverty-stricken village. More than 43% of the people in the village are poor, and the annual per capita net income is only 2160 yuan. Many houses are leaking everywhere.

  "Yes, the water is still very clear." He nodded and said.

  In last year’s "Government Work Report", Li Keqiang promised to solve the problem of drinking water safety for another 60 million rural people throughout the year. During his inspection in Pudong Village, he was particularly concerned about whether these promises were really fulfilled and whether the policies were really implemented.

  The prime minister told the responsible person that the government promised not only to complete the task in quantity, but also to stand the test in quality. He said: "Let the people drink safe and secure drinking water, which is a hard promise of the government and must not be discounted!"

  Also receiving the "gift package" are two village doctors in the village health center.

  Li Keqiang has always attached importance to the irreplaceable role of village doctors. Last year, in the grass-roots investigation in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, after discussing with the accompanying department heads, Li Keqiang decided to use all the basic public health service fees newly added by the central government in that year to subsidize village doctors.

  During this visit, Li Keqiang asked two village doctors whether they had received the new subsidies from the state and whether the income from practicing medicine every month could guarantee their living. A village doctor replied that his income has improved, but he still needs to plant some fields when there are no patients, subsidy income.

  After listening to this, the Prime Minister said with emotion that the government should make efforts to make you feel at ease and seek medical treatment! He revealed at the scene that the new basic public health service fees at the grassroots level this year will still be fully subsidized to village doctors.

  "Village doctors are the’ first line of defense’ for villagers’ health. You are carrying a medicine box and wading through the mountains, reflecting the feelings of doctors to save the world." Li Keqiang said, "The government should completely eliminate your worries and let you go all out to seek medical care!"

  5. Student loan scheme. 

  Li Keqiang conducted a "market survey" for college students and graduates who returned home for the Spring Festival before sending out the "gift package". When sitting around the Dong Drum Tower to communicate with everyone, the Prime Minister directly asked: "What is your biggest difficulty? Speak out boldly! "

  A girl said that she was admitted to a university in Shanghai and applied for a student loan. However, after being admitted to a graduate school in Guizhou University, she found that the student loan could not be transferred across provinces, so she had to find a way to repay the loan while attending graduate school.

  "She hasn’t got a job yet. How can she repay the loan?" Li Keqiang turned to ask the person in charge of the relevant departments of his peers, "This issue is not a trivial matter, but a big one involving educational equity and coordinated regional development. We encourage college students to go home and go back to the west after graduation, but objectively, the income in the west is indeed lower than that in the east, and the pressure on these graduates to repay loans will be even greater. "

  He promised at the scene that the State Council would study and formulate new policies for this purpose. The college students who received the "gift package" immediately clapped their hands and cheered.

  6. Villagers return gifts to the Prime Minister

  In addition to bringing these generous "New Year’s Gift Packages" to the villagers, Li Keqiang also received gifts from the villagers.

  After learning that her dangerous house will be rebuilt, Lin Xianping’s mother excitedly took out a pack of "Baba" made by herself, hoping to give it to the Prime Minister to express her feelings.

  Li Keqiang quickly waved his hand: "Your family is very difficult. I can’t accept this gift!"

  Unexpectedly, the 70-year-old man chased all the way to the small bridge at the entrance of the village, saying that he would put BaBa into the hands of the Prime Minister.

  "All right, but there are too many bags. I can only take one." Unable to overcome the enthusiasm of the old man, Li Keqiang finally accepted a small piece of Baba. This is actually a heavy heart.

  The Prime Minister said: "I have taken away your thoughts and will always miss you. The government will definitely complete the renovation of your dangerous houses as soon as possible, and it will also give more children in the village the opportunity to go to college and let you all live a good life! "

Data First, 2025Q1 Offline Retail Express

Time flies, and in the first quarter of 2025, it quietly came to an end.

This week, we will make a resumption of offline retail consumption in 2025Q1. Among the reference objects involved, the year-on-year object is 2024Q1, and the month-on-month object is 2024Q4.

The data of the re-launch are all based on CT of the instant win brand.The offline retail monitoring network of instant win brand CT covers cities at or above the county level (excluding townships, towns and villages), and deeply covers the core urban agglomerations of the country, including hypermarkets, supermarkets, small supermarkets, convenience stores and grocery stores. Win immediately through AI and big data technology to automatically clean the real-time full POS data of the transaction orders of sample stores. At present, there are more than 300,000 brands monitored in the instant win brand CT, with more than 14 million bar codes and more than 5 billion orders per year.

In order to ensure the consistency of the data sample range in each quarter, the data sources of the stores used this time are all continuous stores, that is, these stores were active in the offline retail monitoring network before April 2025. The sample sizes of stores in 2024Q1, 2024Q4 and 2025Q1 are the same.

For the quarterly offline retail express in 2024, please click:

Data Launch: 2024Q4 Offline Retail Express/Data Launch: 2024Q3 Offline Retail Express/Data Launch: 2024Q2 Offline Retail Express/Data Launch: 2024Q1 Offline Retail Express

1, the overall situation of the quarter

We selected four categories: food, beverage, wine and daily chemical, and observed the overall year-on-year situation of the quarter based on the continuous store samples.

First of all, the situation in this quarter, in terms of sales, the number of orders and the average cost of orders, 2025Q1 compared with 2024Q1, all indicators have declined to varying degrees. An obvious change is that sales decreased by 10.44% year-on-year, but the number of orders decreased by only 5.35% year-on-year, which means that the average amount of each order decreased significantly year-on-year, and consumers’ shopping budget for a single order still showed an obvious shrinking trend.

Another noteworthy point is that the annual Q1 usually includes the Spring Festival, which is also the most important festival consumption node in a year.

From the subjective point of view, festival consumption is usually affected by emotion and scene more than the so-called "just need" in weekdays, which may also indicate that consumers’ income expectations and optimism for the future are still being repaired in Q1 this year.

From an objective point of view, the rise of emerging formats such as snack discount and discount supermarkets, as well as the continuous increase of online penetration rate, have also produced a certain degree of "diversion" for the consumption of traditional retail formats, and this change may also continue.

From the ring comparison, compared with 2024Q4, it is also influenced by the Spring Festival, and the sales volume and the number of sales pieces have increased obviously, but the number of orders has not increased obviously, or it means that the above-mentioned problems of consumers’ expectations and shopping willingness, as well as the objective business diversion, have also caused a certain degree of impact.

In addition to the factors mentioned above, price is also one of the important factors that affect the change of sales.

Based on the price trends of food, beverage and wine in the instant win price index, we can also see the pressure of price changes on sales growth. In the immediate win price index, 100 is the price index baseline. A price index above 100 means that the overall price level of the category is higher than that of the same period last year, while a price index below 100 means that the overall price level of the category is lower than that of last year.

It can be seen that in January-March of 2025, except for drinks and wine, which were temporarily higher than 100 in February (or because the Spring Festival was misaligned with the Spring Festival in 2024), the price indexes of food, drinks and wine were all lower than 100 in the other months of 202404-202503, which means that the overall price levels of the two categories are in a continuous downward channel, and the food category is compared with the drinks and wine category.

Generally speaking, the main factors that promote the growth of consumer goods from the supply side are nothing more than "selling more" and "selling more expensive". Based on the overall monitoring of the five major retail formats by Win Now, the dispersion of formats and the outflow of demand from formats certainly constitute objective reasons, but in terms of sales scale and sales price, several categories as a whole are also facing greater pressure.

(1) Key categories

In order to further observe the situation, we selected some categories of packaged goods with large sales scale in offline retail channels from the above categories, and observed the changes in the share and importance of the categories through the year-on-year changes in the share of these categories in the corresponding categories. In terms of category selection, because this quarter includes the Spring Festival, it is slightly adjusted compared with 2024Q4.

Food category:

Dairy products: pure milk, yogurt, adult milk powder.

Leisure snacks: nuts, roasted seeds and nuts, chocolate, puffed food, biscuits, dried meat, candies and western-style cakes.

Instant food: instant noodles, instant vermicelli, instant sausage and self-heating food.

Quick-frozen food: quick-frozen glutinous rice balls, quick-frozen jiaozi, quick-frozen steamed stuffed buns and quick-frozen snacks.

Beverage category:

Milk-containing drinks, packaged water, vegetable protein drinks, soft drinks, instant fruit juice, sports drinks, instant tea, vegetable drinks, instant coffee and instant milk tea;

(2) Year-on-year comparison of 2)2025Q1/2024Q1-food category

Judging from the year-on-year changes in the market share of food categories, the categories with positive year-on-year growth in market share include quick-frozen snacks and quick-frozen dumplings in the category of quick-frozen foods, instant noodles in the category of convenience foods, and adult milk powder, yogurt and pure milk in the category of long-lost dairy products; The market share increased negatively year-on-year, including quick-frozen jiaozi and quick-frozen steamed buns in quick-frozen foods, instant sausage, instant vermicelli, self-heating foods in convenience foods, and all categories under leisure snacks.

Further analysis based on the above performance:

All kinds of orders in quick-frozen food show uneven performance. Among them, quick-frozen dim sum once led a lot of categories in the year-on-year growth rate of market share in 2024Q4, and it also led this quarter, and the quick-frozen glutinous rice balls performed well. Compared with quick-frozen jiaozi and quick-frozen steamed buns, the year-on-year growth rate was negative, which further confirmed the changes of consumers’ consumption scenes of quick-frozen food and their roles in household consumption.

Dairy products have ushered in a long-lost market share of all key categories, with a positive year-on-year growth rate. Among them, adult milk powder is still the leader. Comparatively speaking, although the market share growth rate of pure milk and yogurt is positive year-on-year, its growth rate is very small. On the other hand, after a period of "difficult period", dairy products seem to be welcoming their own "turning point", which may also bring trend changes to the subsequent development of the category, which deserves continuous attention;

Convenience foods are showing a trend of differentiation. Among them, the market share of instant noodles is still increasing year-on-year, while the market share of fast-food sausage and convenience fans is decreasing slightly year-on-year. It is noteworthy that this type of product has been in a "stall" state since the outbreak of hot food. From the situation this quarter, this stall has not improved.

Finally, the category of leisure snacks, all sub-categories under the category of leisure snacks showed a year-on-year decline in market share. On the one hand, the differentiation of demand in snack discount, independent stores and online has led to a great impact on the sales of leisure snacks in the traditional five formats; On the other hand, leisure snacks are always in a slightly embarrassing position in today’s healthy wave, which may be one of the reasons why consumers are less and less important in the overall food consumption;

(3) Year-on-year comparison of 3)2025Q1/2024Q1-beverage category

In the first quarter of each year, because it is in the low season of the traditional beverage industry, and it contains the important festival of the Spring Festival, there are many differences between the beverage categories and the overall situation of the whole year. At the same time, in 2025Q1, the key categories in the beverage market also showed some changes.

It can be seen that the categories of beverages with negative year-on-year market share growth rate are milk-containing beverages, vegetable protein beverages, instant milk tea and instant coffee. In the past, these categories performed well in winter or had strong attributes of holiday gifts, but their performance this year was not optimistic. At the same time, sports drinks, plant drinks, ready-to-drink fruit juice, packaged water, ready-to-drink tea and soft drinks are the categories with positive year-on-year market share growth. These categories are more powerful in summer and have limited gift attributes, but their performances are remarkable.

This may also represent some trends in the development of the beverage market: on the one hand, the influence of seasons on consumers’ product selection in beverage categories may be gradually weakening, and products that relieve summer heat may also have a wide demand and market in the cold winter; On the other hand, the gift-giving nature of beverage categories may also be weakening. During the festive season, more beverage consumption scenes have changed from gifts from relatives and friends to party sharing, and the well-sold product categories have naturally changed from the past strong gift-giving categories to categories with more personal consumption. These changes may mean some trends in the development of the beverage market.

Based on the four categories of food, beverage, wine and daily chemical, and the performance of the typical categories listed above, we will further analyze the data from three latitudes: "people" with retail orders as the core, "goods" with commodities as the core, and "market" with business channels as the core.

2. "People": retail order dimension

In the observation of order dimension, based on the above-mentioned typical categories of food and beverage, we extracted all the consumer orders with these typical categories in all orders in the quarter, and extracted the dimension data such as order quantity, category sales and category sales.

(1) Year-on-year sales volume, sales volume and order quantity

In this quarter’s retail express, for the convenience of classified viewing and comparison, we also divided the three indicators of sales volume, number of pieces sold and number of orders into food category/beverage category for separate observation.

First of all, the food category, we can see that in all key categories, except for the number of frozen snacks sold/orders slightly positive, all other categories showed a decline. Combined with the above-mentioned year-on-year decline of -10% sales in the market, the overall situation of quick-frozen snacks, adult milk powder, quick-frozen glutinous rice balls and instant noodles is slightly better than that in the market.

The categories with poor performance are self-heating food, dried meat, quick-frozen steamed buns, puffed food, etc. Among them, the sales of self-heating food in 2025Q1 compared with 2024Q1, the number of sales under continuous stores decreased by 35%, the number of sales decreased by 32.5%, and the number of orders decreased by 27.5%. This figure is very exaggerated and it is also very serious for the category. After the epidemic, this category of products and related manufacturers will be in the end.

Compared with food, the highlight category of beverage category is more prominent. In terms of positive growth, the growth momentum of sports drinks and plant drinks is similar, with the year-on-year growth rate of sales exceeding 10%, and sports drinks have been growing continuously for many years since around 2022, which deserves continuous attention. The performance of ready-to-drink juice this quarter is also remarkable, which may be related to its increased penetration in festivals and other scenes. In the past two years, ready-to-drink juice has been continuously used in many ways, such as multi-specification, multi-combination, party scene marketing, and health concept marketing, so that more types of products appear on the dinner table shared by parties, and even replace the stable position of soda and vegetable protein drinks on the dinner table to some extent.

From the perspective of decline, the obvious decline is still in the categories of milk-containing drinks, vegetable protein drinks, ready-to-drink milk tea and ready-to-drink coffee. Among them, the instant milk tea/ready-to-drink coffee immediately won a special study in mid-March (looking forward to 2025, ready-to-drink coffee/ready-to-drink milk tea: why do bottled products "fall behind"? ), vegetable protein drinks and milk-containing drinks are more traditional categories, lacking innovation and product-based growth momentum, making it difficult for scenes and people to expand continuously, or these traditional categories are "headaches".

There is also instant tea that needs special attention in this quarter. Before the summer of 2025, the sales volume, the number of pieces sold and the number of orders for ready-to-drink tea were all negative year-on-year, and the decline of the number of pieces sold > the number of orders > the sales volume, which is not a good signal for the category that grew rapidly last year, and needs continuous attention.

(2) Average cost per order and year-on-year change

The average cost per order can reflect the average shopping budget of consumers in this category, and the change of this value can also reflect the change of consumer price expectation and consumption expectation of this category (more emphasis is placed on describing the price expectation of consumers in this category).

Judging from the year-on-year changes in the average spending per order of various items in this quarter, compared with 2024Q4, the average spending is at a high level in both 2024Q1 and 2025Q1, and the main influencing factor may come from the impact of the Spring Festival on consumer demand and shopping budget.

From the perspective of various purposes, only the average expenditure of adult milk powder, ready-to-drink juice, instant noodles, ready-to-drink tea and packaged water has increased slightly, while most of the other categories have shown a year-on-year decline, which also echoes the price index of food and beverage that has been seen before for a long time below 100. The lower the price level, the shrinking the consumer’s shopping budget in the category and the corresponding degradation of the supply side. At present, this vicious circle may still exist.

Judging from the year-on-year decline, most snack categories have shrunk to a certain extent under the condition that the absolute value of the average cost per order is not high. In the past one or two years, with the popularity of white-brand products represented by snack discount format and the low concentration of most snack categories, leisure snack categories have become the "hardest hit" for price pressure transmission.

Another thing that deserves attention is pure milk and self-heating food at the tail. Combined with the changes of market share, sales volume and order quantity of these two categories, it seems that pure milk has got some positive feedback in the process of exchanging price for quantity, and the scale has been kept from falling with a part of price decline; Self-heating food category is not optimistic, even if the average cost per order has dropped by about 10%, the share, sales volume and order quantity still decline seriously.

(3) Average number of purchased pieces per order and year-on-year change

The average number of purchases per order can reflect the average single purchase of consumers in this category, and the change of this value can reflect the change of consumer’s consumption expectation and consumption price elasticity (more emphasis is placed on describing the change of consumer’s consumption in this category).

Similar to the year-on-year average cost per order, the average number of items purchased per order in 2024Q1/2025Q1 is also higher than that in 2024Q4, but the difference between Q1 and Q4 is not as big as the average cost per order. This may also reflect that between "spending more money" and "buying more goods", festivals have a greater impact on the former than the latter.

Judging from the situation of various items in the quarter, only three categories of adult milk powder, plant drinks and quick-frozen snacks showed a positive increase in the average number of items purchased per order, but the growth rate was almost negligible, while the other categories showed a decline as a whole.

Among the key categories, the vegetable protein beverage dropped the most. The traditional strong festival mental category in this beverage category dropped by about 10% in the average number of purchases per order. Perhaps its mind is being challenged in both the Spring Festival gift and the winter hot drink scene. Under the background that the festival beverage market is changing from "gift" to "gathering and sharing", vegetable protein drinks seem to be a little behind in terms of product types, specifications or combination methods, and many consumers’ minds about this kind of products even remain on the traditional concept of "iron cans are heated"; On the other hand, under the tide of beverage health, although the plant protein beverage is backed by the word protein, its deep cultivation in the concept of health is limited as a whole. In recent years, the only "oat milk" that has made achievements has gradually turned to the TO B channel because of the mediocre market feedback, and the concept of product health in the category may have greater room for upgrading in the future.

3. "Goods": Top SKU and category new product dimension

In the observation of "goods" with goods as the core, based on the typical categories of food and beverage mentioned above, we have drawn the market share of these categories in this quarter, the changes compared with last year, and the new products of these categories.

(1) TOP SKU of various projects and same/quarter-on-quarter changes

The first is the TOP SKU. In the following table, the TOP SKU is the category of 2025Q1, which is 2024Q1 year-on-year and 2024Q4 quarter-on-quarter.

In terms of the same/chain-on-chain change, "-"means that the SKU is ranked in the same time period as the previous one, "new" means that the SKU was listed for the first time in the same/chain-on-chain last quarter (does not mean that it is a new product), "↑" means that the SKU is ranked higher in this quarter, and "↓" means that the SKU is ranked lower in this quarter.

In the change of Top SKU this season, several changes are worthy of attention:

Instant noodles: the ranking of white elephant big spicy turkey noodles was further improved. Turkey noodle, a type of instant noodle product, was pioneered by South Korea Sanyang, but it was quickly promoted by white elephants in the local area and accepted by consumers. It is also a typical case of "combination of Chinese and Western" in the food industry. Win Now will carry out special research on Sanyang and White Elephant around the product category of turkey noodles in April, so please pay attention;

Nut roasted seeds and nuts: Because Q1 includes the Spring Festival, the TOP SKU of nut roasted seeds and nuts category is almost occupied by gift box products, among which three squirrels and three gift box products are on the list, with a rapid momentum.

In several categories of the whole quick-frozen food (quick-frozen jiaozi, glutinous rice balls, steamed stuffed buns and dim sum), all TOP SKU belong to Sanquan, Anjing and Missing only, and the head group of the category has a very strong control over the category.

Plant beverage: The performance of Yuanqi Forest from Red Bean Coix Seed Water/Jujube Lycium Juice has been further improved, ranking first and second in this quarter’s TOP5 SKU. Relatively speaking, the old rival Ipoh’s Zhiben Qingrun Chrysanthemum Tea series products have all declined in the ranking. (The fifth category to be supplemented)

(2) The quantity and share of new products changed year on year.

In this new category, we will observe the innovation activity and new product growth from two dimensions: the number of new products on the market and the market share of new products. The definition of "new product" by instant win brand CT is the new product information and bar code that was first registered in the offline retail monitoring network of instant win in this quarter.

Through the number of new products on the market, the market share growth of new products in the past and the share of new products in the current season, we can clearly understand the innovation and new product acceptance of various projects.

In terms of the number of new products, the number of new products listed in all categories showed a significant year-on-year decline. The categories that have increased in decline are western-style cakes, sweets, biscuits, dried meat, instant fruit juice, puffed food, etc. Among them, leisure snacks account for the vast majority of the categories with a large decline, and the number of new products in some categories has even dropped by more than 50% year-on-year, which is a real reduction in the number of new products.

Looking back at the number of new products in key categories in the quick reports of previous quarters, we find that the number of new products in most categories has been declining, and the reasons may be more critical:

?Oversupply and involution:Today, most food and beverage categories are already in the environment of complete market competition, and the related supply chain and product research and development are no longer barriers. Compared with a new product, it is a more difficult challenge to really support a new product, which also objectively creates the competitive situation of "thousands of troops crossing the wooden bridge". However, looking at this cycle in reverse, the overcrowded track and the low success probability of new products make brands/manufacturers not willing to promote new products, so it is difficult for the number of new products to grow rapidly.

?Industry dividends subsided:During the period from 2017 to 2022, innovations in consumer goods and new products based on raw materials, concepts and even brands and marketing did emerge one after another. However, with the decline of dividends and the slowdown of consumption upgrading, the scale competition and channel barriers of consumer goods made the new products face a rather unequal competitive environment when facing the old products. When the tide faded, this disadvantage became more obvious and insurmountable.

?SKU reduction and "head" strategy;In the retail market in 2024, adjustment and reform are undoubtedly the key words. All adjustment and reform directions are inseparable from the core strategy of "reducing the number of SKUs and increasing the proportion of head SKUs". Under this background, especially for categories with high concentration, the shelf space that channels can give new products is facing further compression, which leads to the continuous reduction of the number of new products listed.

The reduction of the number of new products on the market is inextricably linked with the survival and development performance of new products in the category, and the two sides are mutually causal and influential. Judging from the market share of new products in several quarters, biscuits, western-style cakes and other categories, as well as nuts, roasted seeds and nuts, plant drinks and other categories, have shown better survival performance of new products.

On the contrary, in several categories with high concentration and strong head brands, such as packaged water, pure milk, soft drinks, etc., whether it is the new products in Q1 and Q4 last year or the new products in this quarter, their living conditions are worrying and they are facing greater competitive pressure.

4. "Field": the dimension of format and city level.

In the part of "market", we go back to the categories of food, beverage, wine and daily chemical, and observe the year-on-year performance of various formats and cities under the collection of large categories.

(1) City-wide grade and year-on-year situation of each format.

The CT offline retail monitoring network of instant win brand collects and analyzes data based on five formats: hypermarkets, supermarkets, small supermarkets, convenience stores and grocery stores. We also extract the sales, order volume and average order cost of these five typical offline retail formats in this quarter and the previous quarter.

In this quarter, no matter the sales volume, the number of orders or the average cost per order, all formats showed a relatively obvious year-on-year decline.

Compared with the year-on-year comparison in 2024Q4/2023Q4, the year-on-year decline in sales of all formats shows some signs of increase, which may be related to the fact that the business scale of Spring Festival is higher than other quarters, which objectively magnifies this year-on-year change.

From the perspective of different formats, the year-on-year decline in the number of orders in big formats such as supermarkets/supermarkets has narrowed to be basically the same as last year, with a year-on-year decline of less than 3%. However, from the perspective of average cost per order, the year-on-year decline in the average cost per order of more than 7% has caused a greater drag. From the point of view of small supermarkets, convenience stores, grocery stores and other small formats, the drag of order quantity on sales year-on-year is greater than the impact of the decline in average cost per order. The number of orders has decreased by more than 5% year-on-year, and the largest grocery store has reached 11%, while the average cost per order has decreased by less than 5%.

(2) Full format, year-on-year situation of each city level.

The offline retail monitoring network of instant win brand CT covers cities at or above the county level (excluding townships, towns and villages) and deeply covers the core urban agglomerations in China. We pulled the relevant data of 2025Q1 of each city level and observed the year-on-year situation.

Similar to the business situation, in this quarter, from the first-tier cities to the third-tier cities and below, regardless of the sales volume, the number of orders or the average cost per order, all cities showed a relatively obvious year-on-year decline.

In terms of city level, from first-tier cities to third-tier cities and below, the year-on-year decline in sales is negatively correlated with the year-on-year decline in city level, that is, the higher the city level, the more obvious the decline; On the contrary, the lower the city level, the less the decline. Under the pressure of economic growth, consumers in first-tier cities are indeed facing greater pressure and more uncertain future expectations, which is also reflected in the basic consumption of food and beverage in the retail market. In the year-on-year average cost per order, the year-on-year decline of first-tier cities is also significantly higher than that of other cities, or it is closely related to the mentioned factors.

Unlike sales and average cost per order, which more represent consumers’ shopping budget and price mentality, the number of orders can more reflect the changes in population and consumer behavior and channel selection. It can be seen that the year-on-year decline of new first-tier cities is significantly higher than that of other cities. Comparatively speaking, consumers in second-tier cities, third-tier cities and the following two cities have smaller year-on-year changes.

A word is a cultural history.

Writing is the foundation of civilization and an important symbol of human civilization. Chinese characters are the most important carrier to record and inherit Chinese culture, and they are the cultural ties to build the Chinese nation’s sense of community, which invisibly influences and shapes the Chinese nation’s ideas.

Chinese characters record Chinese culture.

Characters are symbols of recording languages. Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the Shang Dynasty, is the earliest systematic and mature script in China, and has been able to record Chinese completely. As an original script, before Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Chinese characters had a long development process. Academic circles have been concerned about the formation and development of Chinese characters. When did Chinese characters finally form a system that can completely record the language? Meng Weizhi thought it was early summer, while Qiu Xigui thought it was the time of Xia and Shang Dynasties. The theory of "one series of three generations of characters" should be credible. Huang Dekuan once advocated that the characters in the late Shang Dynasty should be taken as a reliable starting point, and traced back to the early period, so as to make a reasonable speculation on the whole Chinese characters in the Shang Dynasty. This change from known to unknown is indeed a possible path to explore the formation and development of early Chinese characters.

The formation and development of Chinese characters are of great significance and must be explored in depth. According to the literature, "Cang Xie wrote a book, but it rained heavily, and ghosts cried at night" ("Huai Nan Zi Ben Jing Xun"). As for whether Cang Xie, the historian of the Yellow Emperor, created Chinese characters, we don’t need to delve into it, but the emergence of Chinese characters is indeed an earth-shattering and weeping feat. Chinese characters are super-epochal, which can cross the time barrier, record the long history of the Chinese nation and bear the civilization of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years. Chinese characters are super-regional, which can cross spatial boundaries and maintain information communication in different dialect areas of ethnic families, and people living in different regions can communicate smoothly.

"Thousands of years in ancient and modern times, tens of thousands of miles." Chinese characters break through the limitation of time and space and completely record and inherit Chinese culture. In front of countless Chinese sons and daughters, she is undoubtedly a long bond, firmly casting the Chinese nation community.

Chinese characters contain cultural mysteries.

"Every painting is learned." Observing each Chinese character statically, its glyph itself accumulates the profound mystery of Chinese culture. "The single body is a text, and the combination is a word." "Wen" is a single character, and the glyph itself cannot be divided; "Zi" is a combined character, and the glyph can be subdivided. Therefore, the word "Wen" can only be said, but the word "Zi" can be interpreted, and the name "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" is sincere. Xu Shen, known as "the ancestor of literate Sect", has long understood the mystery of "writing".

The older the Chinese characters, especially the pre-Qin characters such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jinwen, the stronger their pictographic or ideographic elements, so they contain more cultural information of the word-making era. For example, the word "rainbow" of a rainbow is shaped like a [~ symbol ~] in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which looks like two big worms winding down before and after. This is in line with the legend that the rainbow has two songs and can drink the water from rivers. It is recorded in Oracle Bone Inscriptions that "a rainbow comes from the north and drinks in the river" (Oracle Bone Inscriptions Collection 10405), to the effect that a rainbow comes out from the north and drinks in the river. The ancients could not give a scientific explanation for the natural phenomenon of rainbow in the sky, so they imagined it as a bug drinking water in a river. Later, the glyph evolved into a combined Chinese character. In Shuowen, it is a knowing word from insects to Shen (electricity), but most of the time it is a knowing word from insects, that is, the "rainbow" that is still in use today. However, in the silk script, there was once a glyph from the sound of rain workers. No matter from "Shen (electricity)" or "rain", it shows that the ancients have realized the relationship between rainbow and rain.

In fact, every Chinese character is a vivid existence of China culture. Through the typical Chinese character configuration related to human body, animals and plants, we can perceive the colorful world; Through the typical Chinese character configuration related to clothing, diet and living room, we can understand people’s basic necessities of life. Through the typical Chinese character configurations related to sacrifice, war and marriage, we can know people’s manners and customs. Through the typical Chinese character configuration related to national territory, land and clan, we can feel the feelings of Chinese sons and daughters about home and country.

The evolution of Chinese characters witnessed the cultural inheritance.

It is even more magical to observe Chinese characters dynamically. In the era of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Chinese characters have entered a mature stage. Then, it went through bronze inscriptions, bamboo slips and silk books, seal characters and currency characters. From seal script to official script, from official script to official script, until today, simplified Chinese characters have been followed for thousands of years. In the meantime, although the form of Chinese characters has been constantly changing, its basic system has always been maintained, and its evolution can be clearly found.

Most of Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty carved with a knife, and a few wrote with a brush. It is time-consuming and laborious to carve words on Oracle bones, so it is necessary to change the circle into a square, to fill in the outline, and to change the thick pen into a fine pen. The difference between writing carrier and tools will have a great influence on the font. In order to facilitate writing communication, Oracle Bone Inscriptions has been simplified. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the characters were abnormal, the vulgar style was popular, and the simplification was prominent, which was a reflection of the great changes in economy, politics and culture at that time. The change of seal script into official script is the most important change in the evolution of Chinese characters. It makes Chinese characters change from characters that need to be drawn with the body into simple characters composed of straight strokes, which greatly improves the writing speed and contributes to cultural communication.

Chinese character recording language contains culture, and each glyph has its own times. "One word is a cultural history." Rich cultural connotation indicates that every Chinese character is a treasure that needs our efforts to develop. Strengthening the interpretation of Chinese characters, digging deep into the historical, ideological and cultural connotation behind Chinese characters, and refining and displaying the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture are not only the inevitable requirements for inheriting and developing Chinese excellent traditional culture, but also the proper meaning for enhancing the vitality and influence of Chinese culture.

Is the "artifact" of cervical vertebra treatment shared by netizens reliable?

  What is the most tearful thing these days? Nothing is more than "the head is not bald yet, and the cervical vertebrae are collapsed first." Low-headed people don’t hurry to touch their back necks. Is your cervical vertebra okay? As a "senior" patient with cervical spondylosis, the reporter also groped for a long time on the road to saving cervical vertebrae and tried many methods, but compared with this netizen, the reporter sighed! How hard they have worked to treat cervical spondylosis! Take a quick look at their fancy self-help method.

  Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu Journalist Wang Yun

  Netizens share neck brace, traction and massage … … Evaluation of cervical self-help artifact

  Artifact 1: Neck Bracket

  "I think this kind of thing should have one person." Netizen Elly introduced her new good product to her colleagues: neck support. According to the photo, this neck brace looks like an advanced version of the "neck collar". The professional term is an ergonomic curved neck strap, which can adjust the neck circumference according to the thickness of one’s neck and has the effect of supporting decompression.

  Netizen Elly said that when she first wore it, she felt a little uncomfortable and needed to hold it all the time, but she got used to it after two days of adaptation. "It is very light and small, and the fabric is quite comfortable. Wearing it can play a role of reminding, like holding the back of the head with one hand. I feel that this is also conducive to opening the shoulders, and it will not put any pressure on the cervical vertebrae and shoulders for one day."

  Artifact 2: Traction Pillow

  "Torturing my cervical spondylosis and neck pain, it’s much better to use a traction pillow!" A netizen said that his cervical spine was particularly sore because he often played mobile phones, and there was a "rich bag" that affected his posture. After trying the traction pillow, he felt more relaxed and comfortable.

  The reporter found that the traction pillow is different from the advertised sleeping pillow for repairing cervical vertebrae. It is not used for sleeping, but for going to bed. This kind of product claims that it only takes a few minutes every day to lie down gently and bid farewell to cervical discomfort. It uses the gravity of the head to pull the cervical vertebra and guide the cervical vertebra to return to a healthy curvature. The slightly advanced one also has a heating function.

  Artifact 3: Cervical Vertebral Instrument

  "We are bald for a while, overworked for a while, and we have to soak Lycium barbarum in a thermos cup for a while … …” A netizen laughed at himself. It is nothing new to feel that the post-90s generation is full of problems. Now the neck has become a key protection object. The artifact she recommended is a cervical vertebra instrument, which looks like a big crab pliers and is covered with bumps. This kind of product is not electric massage, but self-weight massage.

  "This massager really pinpoints the sore point on the cervical vertebra. Lying on it for ten minutes every day with arm exercise is really sour and refreshing, especially relaxing the trapezius muscle." Netizens share their own experience and recommend it to cervical vertebra patients with shoulder and neck pain.

  Artifact 4: Foam Axis

  "I want to announce that the foam shaft is an artifact of cervical spondylosis, which really saved my cervical discomfort tonight." A netizen shared her newly discovered artifact to save cervical vertebra — — Foam shaft, "can make you really relax in an instant, feel much more comfortable, at least not painful."

  She also shared the use of foam shaft to relieve cervical pain: the whole body lies flat and relaxes, the foam shaft is placed on the pillow, and the head is slightly twisted left and right. You can feel the pain in the acupoints below the back of your head, and you will relax a lot after rolling.

  Artifact 5: Cervical traction chair

  Do you still remember the "hanging" cervical exercise method created by aunts and uncles? On the big trees in the park, they hang their heads on the trees, swing and shake their bodies rhythmically, and some can even keep their feet off the ground. It is precisely because of the strange style of painting that it once occupied the hot search list. However, what I want to talk about here is of course not this kind of "hanging by hanging", but netizens directly buy "cervical traction chair" and treat it by hanging their necks at home. "The advantage is that it is uncomfortable. I can use it at home at any time. I have used it for more than a dozen times in a row and feel that my shoulders and neck are much easier." Some netizens commented on the use experience.

  The reporter searched on the shopping website and found that there are quite a few hospitals with the same model, and the sales volume is also good. Many of them advertised "solving the fundamental problem of cervical vertebrae". The reporter noticed that these traction chair are even more luxurious than those in hospitals, and many of them are more comfortable to sit for a long time with sofa-class seats; Can adjust the lever by itself, which can be long or short; Even the traction belt is widened and thickened, which can be adjusted according to the face shape.

  Expert’s opinion, the good habit of "looking up at the sky" may be the best artifact.

  So many artifacts to save the cervical vertebra, which one is useful? The reporter found an interesting phenomenon. Whenever a netizen shares his "self-help artifact", there are different opposition voices underneath. For example, although the neck brace recommended by the above netizens is good for their own use, some people use their own failure examples to suggest that those people with poor cervical vertebrae can’t wear it for a long time, which will make the neck muscles lose their self-regulation ability.

  Just like a netizen accidentally revealed the "truth" — — "If there are such artifacts, the topic of cervical spondylosis will not exist!"

  Tian Jiwei, chief medical officer of Deyu Medical, vice president of Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital and director of the Orthopedic Center, pointed out that cervical spondylosis is a syndrome concept, and most people do not need surgery after suffering from cervical spondylosis. "In clinic, less than 10% of patients really need surgery, which means that 90% of patients can achieve good results through conservative treatment, and even play a preventive role."

  For a variety of therapeutic artifacts such as cervical pillows on the market, he also reminded that they may not play a therapeutic role.

  How to prevent cervical spondylosis? It is very simple. First of all, we should reduce the inactivity that lasts for a long time. "If an action lasts for three hours, our cervical vertebrae will degenerate and strain, and long-term degeneration and strain will induce the proliferation, bulging and protrusion of intervertebral discs, and finally induce cervical spondylosis." Tian Jiwei said that for the "low-headed people" who use mobile phones and computers for a long time, they should get into the habit of looking up at the sky and rest for 15 minutes after a continuous action for two hours. "This will restore our physiological curvature without further aggravation."

  Tian Jiwei believes that in the conservative treatment methods that cervical vertebra patients can try, besides changing posture regularly at work, exercise is also very important. Gentle neck movement and upper limb movement are beneficial to the relaxation of neck and shoulder muscles and improve blood circulation, and mild cervical spondylosis will be improved. "But not all sports are suitable. Swimming and flying kites are the sports that patients with cervical spondylosis can choose. These two exercises are effective for the recovery of cervical physiological curvature, the repair of cervical intervertebral disc and the prevention of the deterioration of cervical spondylosis. "

How do new Chinese immigrants overcome the difficulty of studying?

  How do new Chinese immigrants overcome the difficulty of studying?

  When new Chinese immigrants come to foreign countries and work hard, it is often difficult to take care of their children’s studies. In recent years, some young Chinese immigrants have gone abroad to study, but they are also faced with challenges such as different study environments in foreign countries and family financial difficulties, resulting in some dropouts. Let the children of new immigrants and young new immigrants better integrate into the new learning environment and ensure their academic success, which requires better home-school cooperation and better system design at the social level.

  It is not common to play truant and work.

  When new Chinese immigrants first arrive in the United States, they face many difficulties, and the education of their children is one of them.

  According to the US "World Journal" report, due to the large number of young shop assistants recruited by Chinese restaurants and retail stores in new york, the problem of many new immigrant Chinese students dropping out of school is more serious.

  According to Zhao Hongfang, a bilingual psychological counselor at Jiangbang High School in Flushing, some Chinese students are in Internet cafes all day and night. When they are familiar with the store, they actually help to watch the store at night. When asked by their parents how they have money to spend, they lie about working after class.

  Some Chinese students don’t get along well with their parents, so they moved out at the age of 17 and watched the shop at night to earn living expenses. In particular, the owners of new Chinese restaurants in Flushing are looking for young clerks who know English, attracting a large number of dropouts. The school said that they would go to the restaurant to bring these students back.

  However, the lack of diplomas will only bring more difficulties for new immigrants to seek a living in the United States in the future. According to the report, a survey in new york in 2015 showed that the annual salary of those without a high school diploma was only $21,121, those with a high school diploma was $31,038 and those with a bachelor’s degree was about $60,000.

  It is worth noting that although new Chinese immigrants have played truant, worked or even dropped out of school, this is not the norm.

  In an interview with this newspaper, Liang Guanjun, chairman of the American East Asian Association, believes that some students in every school play truant or drop out of school for some reason. "Flushing is so big, and employment opportunities are still limited. We can only say that this phenomenon exists among the new immigrants in new york, but the size of the’ large number’ in the report is debatable."

  Even so, the difficulty in adapting to new Chinese immigrants still needs attention.

  Inadvertence in discipline and difficulty in adaptation

  Different from the "Chinese" born and raised in the United States, behind the new Chinese immigrants who came to the United States to work and play truant is the helplessness of their families’ inability to discipline and adapt to the environment.

  "This is an old problem, which exists in big cities in the east and west of the United States and is quite difficult to solve." Chinese lawyer Sun Lantao said in an interview with this newspaper that Chinese in the United States often choose school districts to send their children to school. All the above phenomena occur in bad school districts. There, parents are forced to survive, sometimes working hard for 12 hours every day, and have no time to ask about their children’s learning. Children’s own English is not enough, and they are under bilingual pressure, so they are discouraged and unwilling to learn.

  For new immigrant students, the financial hardship of their families is also a major incentive to play truant and work. "Nowadays, in the United States, it is not easy for restaurants to recruit people, so the salaries are relatively high." Liang Guanjun introduced that the monthly salary of Flushing Restaurant is about 2,800 dollars, which attracts students who can’t go on studying, and there are also cases where individual families have financial difficulties and need their children to make money.

  The educational environment and allocation of educational resources in American society are also very different from those in China.

  Sun Lantao introduced that the US Constitution and the constitutions of all states stipulate that any school-age children must receive compulsory education before the age of 18, regardless of whether they or their parents have immigration status. That is to say, even the children of illegal immigrants, as long as they are school-age children, no matter where they live, public schools must accept them and must not refuse them to go to school on the grounds of poor English and insufficient test scores. However, at the implementation level, the imbalance of educational resources has greatly reduced the effect of ensuring the enrollment rate of immigrant children.

  "American culture is different from that of China, where the whole people attach importance to education. Ordinary public schools often have poor basic education. Psychological counseling and bilingual guidance advocated by the education department cannot be put in place at all because of the lack of human resources. " Sun Taotao introduced.

  The negligence of family discipline and the difference of social environment bring poor communication between home and school, which eventually leads to inefficiency in the academic management cooperation of new immigrant children. "Chinese immigrants, Chinese new immigrants, survival is a problem, and the language is unreasonable. I don’t know how to start." Sun Lantao said that the communication information between parents and school teachers is seriously poor, which reduces the effectiveness of cooperation between schools and parents.

  Multi-party cooperation to promote studies together

  How to help new Chinese immigrants better integrate into the new learning environment and ensure their enrollment rate? Experts said that the joint efforts and effective cooperation of all parties are needed.

  On the one hand, new immigrant families need to integrate into the new study environment more actively. Cai Wenyao, consultant of the American Chinese Chamber of Commerce, said in an interview with this newspaper: "Children need to get out of the comfort zone and consult more local students. Parents can also make good use of community resources and communicate with other immigrant parents who have experienced difficult stages instead of resting on their laurels."

  At the same time, home and school also need to better cooperate, psychologically appease their children, and more effectively prevent students who want to skip classes and work from drilling loopholes in the system.

  In an interview with the World Journal, Zhao Hongfang said that parents can take the initiative to provide contact information to the school and learn to check attendance records and grades online. If parents leave their children completely unattended, the school can report it and ask the Children’s Service Administration to intervene in the investigation.

  On the other hand, the society can also make efforts in promoting the children of Chinese new immigrants to study.

  "In a short time, it is still a luxury to solve the problem of young Chinese immigrants going to school." Lawyer Sun Lantao said that despite this, from the legislative point of view, with the increasing proportion of Chinese in politics, this phenomenon will attract the attention of political circles, and the education department will also strengthen investment in this group and training bilingual teachers. With the increase of corresponding educational resources and infrastructure, the current situation may gradually change.
