introduction

  "Environmental, Social and Governance" (ESG) is an enterprise management concept and investment concept put forward by the United Nations in 2004, which emphasizes the coordinated development of economy, environment and society and gives full play to the power of capital to solve social and environmental problems. In the past two decades, ESG concept has been widely practiced and promoted by governments and market players around the world, and has become one of the mainstream investment concepts and practical strategies in developed countries and emerging market countries. According to the prediction of relevant institutions, by 2025, the global ESG assets will reach 53 trillion US dollars, accounting for 1/3 of the global asset management scale. With the deepening of the global consensus on sustainable development, the requirements of society for enterprises in green development, energy conservation and emission reduction, social responsibility, honest management and compliance management are becoming more and more strict. Promoting ESG practice has become an inevitable choice for enterprises in the new era, which will help enterprises to form differentiated competitive advantages and help the world to make positive changes.

  As the second largest economy in the world, China has been promoting the practice of ESG with a positive attitude in recent years. Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has attached great importance to the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and firmly promoted green and low-carbon development. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the great goal of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization. At present, China is in a critical period of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Based on the new development stage, implementing the new development concept, building a new development pattern and promoting high-quality development are the tasks that must be grasped at present and in the future. The value core of economic prosperity, environmental sustainability and social equity advocated by ESG is highly compatible with China’s important strategic goals such as high-quality development, common prosperity and "double carbon". These important strategic objectives have explored the road, pointed out the key points and deepened the content for the practice of ESG concept in China, and provided a grand stage for the development of ESG in China. Whether the "double carbon" goal focuses on the environment, rural revitalization emphasizes social equity, or common prosperity pays comprehensive attention to economy and society, it provides rich connotations and broad space for ESG’s practice in China. It is imperative to build an ESG system with China characteristics, improve China’s influence and voice in the global ESG system, and make a clear direction for the future development of ESG.

  In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China, practice the responsibility of mainstream media, promote the construction of ESG system with China characteristics, and enhance China’s influence in the global ESG field, the Central Radio and Television General Station, together with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and the China Enterprise Reform and Development Research Association, launched the "China ESG (Corporate Social Responsibility) Release" and the model ceremony project in 2023. By establishing an ESG evaluation system that is in line with international standards and national conditions, we will comprehensively evaluate the listed companies in China that have great influence on China A-shares and Hong Kong stocks, publish thematic reports of different dimensions one after another, summarize and publicize the excellent practices of ESG, and hold the annual ceremony of "China ESG Model" at the end of the year, in a matrix form throughout the year, to convey the voice of responsibility and spread the value contribution, guide China enterprises to improve the ESG construction level with the power of example, and provide assistance for the high-quality economic and social development of China. Through this project, we are committed to leading more China enterprises to the road of high-quality sustainable development, taking ESG as the inevitable requirement of the new era, and pushing the society towards a future of harmonious coexistence and long-term common prosperity between man and nature.

  We can see that under the guidance of the national strategy, China enterprises have started a new era of actively responding to the ESG concept and comprehensively improving their ESG level. "China ESG (Corporate Social Responsibility) Release: Annual ESG Action Report" is the first achievement in the year. It is found that the overall level of ESG development of large companies in China and the proportion of outstanding enterprises are comparable to those of large enterprises in the world, and the leading enterprises in various industries lead the sustainable development. At the same time, more and more enterprises attach importance to ESG. Many enterprises gradually establish an ESG management system, integrate ESG management requirements into business management, issue ESG reports in time, actively respond to national strategies, ensure information security, promote scientific and technological innovation, implement the "double carbon" goal, participate in charity, protect employees’ rights and interests, and help sustainable management and value creation with a heavy sense of responsibility. It can be predicted that practicing ESG concept and promoting sustainable development will become the "proposition of the times" and "value consensus" of China enterprises. Under the wave of ESG, China’s ESG regulatory policy has been gradually improved, ESG rating has been continuously optimized, ESG investment has continued to grow, and China’s ESG system construction has made positive progress. China enterprises will certainly be able to move forward bravely in the process of promoting Chinese modernization, providing strong support and guarantee for serving people’s better life and helping high-quality and sustainable economic and social development.

technical proposal

  The research path is as follows: based on the theory of sustainable development, economic externality and stakeholder theory, construct the "trinity" ESG evaluation model of environment, society and governance; Seriously study the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress spirit, study domestic and international standards and guidelines, benchmark the mainstream ESG rating system at home and abroad, and build an ESG evaluation index system that is in line with international standards and national conditions; Collect enterprise ESG information based on open channels, conduct content analysis and quantitative analysis, calculate ESG index score, select "Pioneer 100" enterprises of ESG listed companies in China (hereinafter referred to as "Pioneer 100" enterprises) with perfect ESG governance, strong practice and remarkable results, and complete "China ESG (Corporate Social Responsibility) Release: Annual ESG Action Report" (see Figure 1).

  I. Theoretical model

  Theory of sustainable development: The production and operation of enterprises should pay attention to environmental and social influences, and pursue development that not only meets the needs of contemporary people, but also does not harm the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

  Economic externality theory: negative externalities will make enterprises face policy risks, while positive externalities will enhance enterprise value and bring reputation assets to enterprises. Enterprises adhering to the ESG concept will reduce their negative externalities, increase their positive externalities, reduce the risk of losses and enhance the value of enterprises.

  Stakeholder theory: Stakeholders are all individuals and groups that can affect the realization of an organization’s goals or are affected by the process of an organization’s realization of its goals. The interest expectation, interest conflict, interest balance and relative power of various stakeholders in an enterprise will affect the sustainable operation and value creation of the enterprise.

  Based on this, when we build an ESG evaluation model, we break the conventional thinking that the existing mainstream ESG rating system focuses on ESG risk management (that is, the negative externalities of enterprises), and take into account the positive value and contribution of enterprise management and development to the social environment (that is, the positive externalities of enterprises), and innovatively build an ESG evaluation model that includes three dimensions of "environment, society and governance" and takes into account both risk management and social value contribution (see Figure 3).

  Second, the index system

  Under the guidance of the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, the Outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan and the Government Work Report in 2023, we have thoroughly benchmarked 13 domestic and foreign ESG standards such as GRI Standards (2021 Edition) organized by Global Reporting Initiative, Guidelines on Environmental, Social and Governance Reports of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and morgan stanley capital international (MSCI), S&P Global, China Securities and China Securities. According to the principle of connecting with the international and applying to the local, the ESG evaluation topic is set, and the general index system and the sub-industry index system are refined. Based on this, a general index system including 3 first-level indicators, 19 second-level indicators and 127 third-level indicators is constructed. Among them, 63.78% of the indicators are in line with international standards, 92.13% are in line with relevant domestic standards, and 25.20% are social value indicators with local characteristics. The response to China’s characteristics is mainly reflected in the construction of modern industrial system, new industrialization, rural revitalization, coordinated regional development, "Belt and Road", innovation-driven, employment promotion, public crisis response, information security and public services.

  At the same time, considering the great differences in the importance of ESG risk issues in different industries, in order to ensure the scientificity of evaluation, the ESG index system of different industries is constructed according to the characteristics of national economy industry classification (GB/T 4754-2017).

  Third, the evaluation sample

  Taking more than 6,400 China listed companies with A shares and Hong Kong stocks as the sample pool as of April 30, 2023, we selected the top 30% companies in terms of market value and published ESG reports on April 30, and comprehensively screened them according to the influence of listed companies, ESG activity and other factors, and finally selected 855 listed companies as the evaluation targets.

  IV. Sources of information

  The sources of information mainly include the public information of enterprises in the current year and the third-party information.

  1. Enterprise public information

  Including annual ESG report, annual social responsibility report, annual sustainable development report, annual special report (including environmental report, public welfare report, rural revitalization report, overseas report, etc.) and annual report of enterprises.

  2. Third party information

  Including official websites such as State Administration of Market Supervision, Ministry of Ecology and Environment, China Securities Regulatory Commission, Shanghai Stock Exchange, Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Beijing Stock Exchange, National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System, Credit China, and professional databases such as Wind and Dibo.

  V. Exponential Synthesis

  1. Weight setting

  According to the differences of different industries’ impacts on the social environment, taking into account the international general principles and the local actual situation, the weights of the first, second and third level indicators of each industry are set.

  2. Index scoring

  Classify qualitative indicators and quantitative indicators, and assign points by judging whether there is or not, comparing and scoring relative values in the industry, etc.

  3. Negative deduction

  Consult experts’ opinions, judge the negative events of enterprises during the evaluation period, deduct points or "veto by one vote", and adjust the evaluation results.

  VI. Grading

  In order to intuitively reflect the ESG level of enterprises, the ESG index is divided into eight levels, namely, five-star excellent level, five-star, four-and-a-half-star level, four-star level, three-star level, two-star level and one-star level. See Table 1 for the corresponding star level and ESG development level of various enterprises.

"Pioneer 100 China ESG Listed Companies" Enterprise

  Through analysis, 100 listed companies such as China Mobile, China Resources Power, China Petrochemical, baoshan iron & steel, Fosun International, Yili, China Ping An, Geely Automobile, Mengniu Dairy and Mindray Medical were selected as "Pioneer 100 of ESG Listed Companies in China".

Main findings of ESG action of China enterprises

  1.855 outstanding listed companies in China have the same ESG development level as the whole world, with 35% at the leading level.

  Taking China listed companies with A shares and Hong Kong stocks as the sample pool as of April 30, 2023, 855 listed companies were selected as the evaluation objects according to the market value scale, report release, influence and ESG activity of listed companies, and ESG comprehensive evaluation was conducted. The analysis found that about 35% of the 855 enterprises have reached the leading level (MSCI global is 28.5%). 48% is in the middle level, and there is still room for improvement (MSCI global is 53%); Another 17% is at a backward level (MSCI is also 17% globally). To sum up, the development level of ESG of listed companies in China is comparable to that of global enterprises.

  2. "Pioneer 100" enterprises lead the sustainable development, with an average ESG index of 75.8 points.

  The average score of ESG index of "Pioneer 100" enterprises is as high as 75.8 points, which is at the leading level as a whole and leads the sustainable development of listed companies in China in an all-round way. Among them, two companies are at the level of five-star class, which is the model of ESG development of listed companies; 16 companies are at the five-star level, and they are outstanding in ESG development of listed companies; 77 companies are at the level of four-star and half-star, which is the leader of ESG development of listed companies; Five companies are at the four-star level and have excellent ESG overall performance. At present, ESG has entered a period of accelerated development in China. With the promotion of regulatory authorities, investment institutions, rating agencies, research institutions and other forces, the head listed companies have significantly improved their understanding of ESG and paid more and more attention to ESG work.

  3. The development of ESG in state-owned enterprises is generally leading, and private enterprises in the head shine brilliantly.

  Among the "Pioneer 100" enterprises, the number of state-controlled listed companies accounts for about 60%, and the average score of ESG index is 76.1; About 40% of private listed companies have an average score of 75.3 on ESG index. Judging from the number of "Pioneer 100", the ESG work of state-owned enterprises is generally leading, which is largely due to the high attention paid to ESG work by the State Council State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Since 2021, the State Council State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) has promoted the central corporate social responsibility work and ESG work as a whole. By 2022, a special social responsibility bureau was set up to further strengthen the promotion. Under the guidance of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, Guangdong, Shanghai, Shanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and other local SASACs have also included ESG in their work, which has promoted the ESG work of state-owned enterprises to enter a period of accelerated development.

  Although the number of private listed companies selected as "Pioneer 100" enterprises is less than that of state-owned enterprises, the average score of ESG index is almost the same as that of state-owned enterprises. Fosun International, China Ping An, Geely Automobile and Mindray Medical are among the top ten "Pioneer 100" enterprises, and their outstanding performance in ESG field provides a model for private listed companies to carry out ESG work.

  4. "Pioneer 100" enterprises are distributed in 12 industries, with manufacturing accounting for half of the country.

  From the perspective of industry distribution, "Pioneer 100" enterprises are distributed in 12 industries, among which manufacturing enterprises account for half of the country, and five manufacturing enterprises rank in the top ten of "Pioneer 100" enterprises. Comparatively speaking, manufacturing enterprises often bear greater environmental responsibility, employee responsibility and safety responsibility. Fierce market competition and strict regulatory requirements, especially the proposal of "double carbon" goal, all push manufacturing enterprises to catch up, change their development concepts, prevent ESG risks and create ESG value.

  Electricity, heat, gas and water production and supply industries account for about 10%. Some energy enterprises with great pressure on environmental protection and safety have incorporated ESG ideas into their business operations during the transformation process, thus boosting their sustainable development. For example, China Electric Power, a subsidiary of China Power Investment Group, is committed to establishing a good ESG risk management system to improve the performance of sustainable development issues and promote effective management, and its board of directors actively promotes a "top-down" culture to ensure that the management will incorporate ESG into the decision-making process and business operations. In addition, the number of enterprises in financial industry, information transmission, software and information technology service industry is also outstanding, which has set an example in ESG management and practice.

  5. Beijing and Shenzhen have become the highland of ESG development, demonstrating the role of demonstration and driving.

  In terms of geographical distribution, nearly 80% of the "Pioneer 100" enterprises are concentrated in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta, of which 36 are located in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, 26 in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and 15 in the Yangtze River Delta. These areas are the frontiers of China’s opening to the outside world, and they are highly integrated with the world economy. Enterprises located here came into contact with the ESG concept originated in the West earlier, and ESG work started earlier, so ESG performed better.

  From the perspective of cities, the proportion of "Pioneer 100" enterprises in Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Guangzhou has reached about 60%, with Beijing accounting for the highest proportion. Beijing (30), Shenzhen (16), Shanghai (8) and Guangzhou (6) are becoming the first demonstration areas for ESG construction.

  6. China enterprises actively respond to national policies, and national strategies lead the development direction of ESG.

  ESG can effectively guide important participants in the capital market to pay attention to social and environmental issues while creating economic value. Under the guidance of national strategies such as carbon neutrality and common prosperity, the construction of ESG system with China characteristics is accelerating. It is found that under the "top-down" system guarantee and policy promotion, the development direction of local ESG is clearer and the power is stronger. Our ESG evaluation system is based on local conditions and reflects ESG values with China characteristics. Ten characteristic indicators are specially set, including modern industrial system construction, new industrialization construction, rural revitalization, regional coordinated development, "Belt and Road", innovation-driven, employment promotion, public crisis response, information security, and public services, with a view to guiding listed companies in China to change their thinking, be inclusive, be brave and take action.

  Taking the Belt and Road Initiative as an example, this initiative will help relevant countries to build a community of interests, destiny and responsibility with political mutual trust, economic integration and cultural tolerance, which is of far-reaching and lasting significance for maintaining world peace and stability and promoting prosperity and development. It is found that the large listed companies in China play a leading role and actively participate in building the "Belt and Road" through trade, investment, finance and infrastructure, thus contributing China wisdom and China’s strength to global sustainable development. For example, CRRC relies on the "Fuxing" Chinese standard EMU technology platform with the highest commercial operation speed in the world to tailor high-speed EMUs for Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway to adapt to the local operating environment and line conditions, showing the good image of China Railway, China Manufacturing and China Equipment; In the decade from 2013 to 2022, Northern International has signed more than 120 overseas projects to build rail transit, power facilities, petroleum and mineral facilities, municipal housing construction, agriculture and people’s livelihood and other infrastructure for countries along the Belt and Road.

  7. China enterprises actively implement the "3060" goal and seek a green future by "carbon"

  With the introduction and improvement of peak carbon dioxide emissions’s carbon-neutral "1+N" policy system, coping with climate change has been incorporated into the national strategy and top-level design. It is found that 26 "Pioneer 100" enterprises have formulated a special system to implement the "double carbon" goal, and nearly 90% have formulated goals, strategies, plans or action routes around the "double carbon" issue. For example, Dongfang Electric has formulated the "peak carbon dioxide emissions Carbon Neutralization Action Plan", set up a leading group for green environmental protection, and set up a carbon neutrality research center in peak carbon dioxide emissions to coordinate green and low-carbon development; Xinao Energy has formulated six major emission reduction actions: urban gas methane management, low-carbon trade and transportation, energy structure transformation of universal energy business, system energy efficiency improvement, green technology application and green office, and issued "Green Action 2030" to clarify the company’s short-term and medium-term carbon reduction targets by 2030 and long-term targets by 2050.

  At the same time, more than 70% of the "Pioneer 100" enterprises disclosed their annual greenhouse gas emissions, especially the manufacturing enterprises with high environmental sensitivity, and the disclosure rate of greenhouse gas emissions reached 76%. According to statistics, the disclosure rates of carbon-related indicators in Europe, America and Asia-Pacific are 80%, 74% and 62% respectively. Green development and low-carbon development have been integrated into the development strategy of enterprises in China. Large enterprises actively implement new development concepts and accelerate the green transformation of development methods. The performance of ESG leading enterprises in China in coping with climate change has reached the international leading level.

  8.ESG leading enterprises pay attention to work-life balance, with 9 paid annual leave per capita.

  Employee responsibility is the core issue of social responsibility (S) dimension, and paid vacation is an important embodiment of employee rights and benefits, and it is also an important indicator under the topic of "work-life balance" that is of universal concern around the world. About 20% of the "Pioneer" 100 enterprises disclosed the number of paid annual leave days per capita. It is estimated that the average paid annual leave days per enterprise in 2022 will be about 9 days. It is particularly worth mentioning that the average paid annual leave days of CSDCC, China Resources Cement Holdings and Hegang reached 14 days, 13.6 days and 12 days respectively. Paying attention to the work-life balance of employees and solidly promoting the construction of harmonious labor relations are the common goals and pursuits of ESG leading enterprises.

  9. Stable employment helps the economy to move forward. The average number of new jobs in "Pioneer 100" enterprises exceeds 10,000.

  Under the background of the global economic downturn, rising unemployment rate and the rising trend of layoffs, absorbing employment reflects the responsibility and responsibility of enterprises. "Pioneer 100" enterprises take the initiative to attract new graduates, migrant workers, veterans and other key groups to find jobs, help laid-off employees to obtain new employment opportunities, and drive the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to create a large number of employment opportunities. The data shows that more than 60 companies disclosed the number of employees they absorbed in 2022, totaling about 650,000, and the average number of employees absorbed by each company exceeded 10,000. For example, in 2022, the number of new employees in China Petrochemical Company was 20,891. In addition, ESG leading enterprises also take the initiative to shoulder their responsibilities and actively promote employment in the industrial chain. For example, Yili Co., Ltd. promoted the employment of dairy farming industry by 651,833 person-times.

  10. Under the social dimension, China enterprises actively contribute to rural revitalization and charity, and private enterprises perform brilliantly.

  Rural revitalization is an important strategy for China’s economic development and modernization, an inevitable choice for all people to achieve common prosperity, an important topic for the United Nations sustainable development 2030 goal, and an important measure for China enterprises to create social value. It is found that listed companies actively participate in rural revitalization, and help rural industries, talents, culture, ecology, organization and other comprehensive revitalization by participating in infrastructure construction, supporting characteristic industries, carrying out skills training, and setting up support funds. Among them, nearly 70% of the "Pioneer 100" enterprises disclosed the investment in rural revitalization in 2022, with a total investment of about 4.5 billion yuan and more than 2,800 projects. For example, in 2022, China Jiaojian invested 266 million yuan in free assistance funds in designated assistance areas; In 2022, Mengniu Dairy promoted the planting of more than 6 million mu and 12 million tons of high-quality forage grass in China, promoted the breeding of more than 1.7 million cows, and distributed nearly 32 billion yuan of milk, driving farmers to increase their income and become rich.

  In addition to the investment in rural revitalization, it is an important action for enterprises to create social value and an active choice for enterprises to practice social responsibility. With the encouragement and support of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, private enterprises have actively participated in glorious and public welfare undertakings, and made outstanding contributions to China’s characteristic public welfare undertakings. Statistics show that "Pioneer 100" enterprises invested more than 12.6 billion yuan in charity in 2022, among which 37 private listed companies invested more than 8.5 billion yuan in charity, and private enterprises performed brilliantly in charity donation. For example, Mindray Medical announced that it will invest 1 billion yuan to build a new campus for Dangshan Middle School to help the development of rural education.

  11. Symbiosis with innovation, China enterprises promote sustainable development with technological innovation.

  Technological innovation is the first driving force for the transformation of old and new kinetic energy of the economy and the realization of high-quality development. Accelerating the implementation of innovation-driven development strategy is not only the strategic requirement of the country, but also the internal demand of enterprises themselves, which is conducive to enhancing the sustainable development capability of enterprises and laying a solid foundation for industrial transformation and upgrading and sustainable development. The study found that the total investment of "Pioneer 100" enterprises in R&D in 2022 exceeded 500 billion yuan. From the industry point of view, the six selected enterprises in information transmission, software and information technology services all invested more than 10 billion yuan, far ahead; Geographically, the average R&D investment of enterprises in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region exceeds 9 billion yuan, ahead of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Yangtze River Delta, Western Triangle and other regions; From the perspective of cities, the average R&D expenditure of enterprises in Hangzhou, Ningde and Shenzhen ranks in the top three. "Pioneer 100" enterprises have vigorously promoted intelligent upgrading and green manufacturing, and have been at the forefront of the world in the fields of 5G information technology and clean energy equipment manufacturing. For example, China Mobile focuses on the frontier and urgent needs of the country, makes every effort to tackle key core technologies, takes the lead in setting up a 5G innovation consortium, shoulders the "chain length" of the modern industrial chain of mobile information, and actively helps China to become self-reliant in science and technology in the field of information and communication; Lenovo strategically increased its R&D professionals by about 5,000 in fiscal year 2021/22, and announced that it would add another 12,000 R&D personnel, while doubling its R&D investment in the next three years.

  12.ESG leading enterprises attach great importance to information security and strictly abide by the bottom line of ESG responsibility.

  In the era of big data, the problem of information security has become increasingly prominent, which has attracted worldwide attention. Ensuring information security is not only related to the interests of enterprises, but also their basic responsibility to practice ESG. It is found that more than 60% of the "Pioneer 100" enterprises have issued rules and regulations on information security, and nearly 40% have established information security management committees or working groups in their organizational structures. Some enterprises have invested in information security funds and conducted training to enhance the information security awareness of all employees. For example, the Agricultural Bank of China has formulated and implemented the Measures for the Management of Network Security, established a three-level network security organizational structure of "Science and Technology and Product Innovation Committee-Science and Technology Department-Professional Office", and set up data security centers in the head office and branches to closely weave digital security protection networks; Aauto Quicker has implemented strict data security management protocols, implemented user privacy protection, data classification, supervision, emergency response and third-party management, and established an information security committee to continuously strengthen information security and privacy risk management.

  13. China enterprises adhere to the guidance of party building and improve ESG governance with China characteristics.

  The core of the great innovation of corporate governance theory with China characteristics lies in strengthening the leadership of the Party, which is also the unique advantage of China enterprises in accelerating the construction of world-class enterprises. It is found that China enterprises embed the corporate party organization into the corporate governance structure, and establish and improve the corporate governance mechanism with China characteristics, which has its own responsibilities, coordinated operation and effective checks and balances, so as to promote the compliance construction of enterprises, enhance the awareness of sustainable development and promote ESG work. For example, China Tonghao continues to improve the party building cultural system of "one branch with one feature" and "one party member with one flag", and carries out in-depth practical activities on the theme of "strong vitality, creating good results and promoting growth", focusing on the entry point and force point for party building to integrate into production and operation, and ensuring the high-quality development of enterprises with high-quality party building; Cosl, a subsidiary of CNOOC, China, integrated the leadership of the Party into the whole process of corporate governance, fulfilled the pre-procedure of the Party Committee for making decisions on major issues, improved the corporate governance mechanism with the "three meetings and one layer" as the starting point, and promoted the modernization of corporate governance system and governance capacity.

  14.ESG overturns the reform of executive compensation, and "Pioneer 100" enterprises actively explore the link between compensation and ESG performance.

  With the gradual popularization and promotion of ESG investment concept around the world, the linkage between executive compensation and ESG performance has become a trend and may gradually become the norm. Some large foreign enterprises have urged the management and management to actively improve ESG performance by means of "linked compensation" assessment and incentives. According to statistics, in 2022, the proportion of companies linking ESG targets with executive compensation in Russell 1000 Index has reached 28%. The analysis of "Pioneer 100" enterprises shows that more than 20% of listed companies link management compensation with ESG, which urges management to promote the implementation of ESG. For example, baoshan iron & steel, a subsidiary of China Baowu, incorporated ESG performance indicators into the executive incentive and compensation plan, and took reward and punishment measures according to the annual ESG evaluation results; China Resources Land, a subsidiary of China Resources Group, has linked the executive compensation with the work of safe production in order to establish an effective and normalized sustainable development management system. Fosun International has established relevant mechanisms to link ESG performance with the remuneration of directors and senior management, among which "ESG assessment indicators" of executive directors (including ESG rating, ESG system construction, responsible investment management, carbon neutral management and ESG risk management) account for 10% of the overall performance assessment.

  15. "Pioneer 100" enterprises focus on improving ESG management system to inject momentum into sustainable development.

  ESG management system is the foundation for enterprises to promote ESG work. Establishing and improving the normalization mechanism of ESG management can effectively guide enterprises’ ESG work and improve the quality of ESG information disclosure. It is found that about 75% of Pioneer 100 companies have set up ESG committees or ESG leading groups at the board level, which is much higher than 54% of FTSE 100 companies. Large listed companies increasingly realize that improving the top-level architecture is the key to promoting ESG work. At the same time, among the "Pioneer 100" enterprises, over 30% have established ESG special system, about one-seventh have established ESG index system, and nearly 50% have carried out ESG special training. More and more listed companies gradually standardize ESG management system, improve ESG management ability, promote practice through management, improve ESG work level and enhance the resilience of sustainable development. For example, State Grid Yingda, a subsidiary of State Grid, has established a four-level ESG organization and management system, including the board of directors, management team, and ESG implementation team. The chairman of the board is the highest person in charge of ESG work, actively participates in external ESG special series training, continuously improves the ESG index system, and optimizes ESG management; Guodian Power, a subsidiary of National Energy Group, set up an ESG management leading group as the leading organization, and formulated the Management Measures for Environment, Society and Corporate Governance to ensure the institutionalized and systematic operation of ESG.

  16. ESG information disclosure of enterprises in China is becoming more and more standardized, and ESG reports are substantive, comparable and balanced.

  ESG information disclosure is very important to promote the sustainable development of enterprises. By presenting the environmental, social and governance (ESG) behaviors of the enterprise completely, openly and transparently, the enterprise can win the trust of investors, attract more investment, and improve its brand image and social reputation. Mainstream international organizations, such as Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and International Council for Sustainable Development Standards (ISSB), continue to improve ESG information disclosure guidelines to help standardize ESG information disclosure. The research shows that more than 95% of the ESG reports of Pioneer 100 enterprises list the relevant contents of substantive issues analysis to ensure that the core ESG issues are fully disclosed in the report. Nearly 80% of the ESG reports of "Pioneer 100" enterprises disclosed the key performance data for three consecutive years or more, effectively transmitting the improvement of ESG performance to the capital market. More than 90% of the "Pioneer 100" companies actively disclose many negative information such as environmental pollution, safety production, employee turnover, product recall, administrative punishment, etc., so as to avoid misleading the report readers and ensure the balance of ESG information disclosure. Half of the "Pioneer 100" companies’ ESG reports were evaluated by third-party reports, such as China Chemical, Maanshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Yiling Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which applied for the rating of enterprise ESG reports to promote management and continuously improve the level of report preparation. Based on the comparative analysis,We believe that high-level ESG information disclosure should meet the requirements of substance of the topic, comparability of data, balance of information, completeness of content, timely release and verifiability of reports. The standardization of ESG reports of Pioneer 100 enterprises has reached a high level, but it is still necessary to pay attention to the evaluation of third-party reports and improve the quality of ESG reports.

ESG Action Proposal of China Enterprises

  At present, with the deepening of the national green and low-carbon strategy and the open development of the financial market, China’s ESG development has rapidly entered the "fast lane" and achieved certain results. However, compared with western developed economies, it still faces some problems such as insufficient understanding, imperfect rules, insufficient constraints, inadequate system and insufficient practice. As the main body of the capital market and the practice of ESG concept, enterprises should conform to the development wave of ESG, explore the compatibility of ESG localization with international rules, play a subjective role in investment and business, actively carry out ESG practice, and promote the rooting and healthy development of ESG concept in China. On the basis of systematically combing the development status of ESG of listed companies in China, we put forward the following suggestions on how to further improve the ESG work level of enterprises in China.

  First, based on the national strategy, ESG helps high-quality economic and social development.

  China’s unique historical background, social culture and economic system make it necessary for China to absorb the international ESG experience, integrate its own characteristics and combine with the national development strategy, so as to shape the ESG practice with China color. Only in this way can ESG become a powerful tool to promote the sustainable and high-quality development of enterprises and society in China.

  First, we must deeply integrate into the national strategy.On the basis of defining its own position, enterprises should actively respond to and deeply participate in the national strategic objectives, and put their own development into the historical journey of promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization. For example, the innovation drive is deeply rooted in the core engine of ESG practice, and innovation empowers business models, products and services to form new development momentum; Make full use of resources, technology or industry status, actively participate in major national strategies such as "One Belt and One Road" and rural revitalization, promote coordinated regional development, and shape ESG practice with China characteristics.

  Second, we should promote the construction of ESG ecology in the industry.Enterprises should not only fully participate in the construction of modern industrial system, but also actively promote the new industrialization development strategy and build a win-win cooperation industry ecosystem. Industry leaders need to take on greater responsibilities and form and promote ESG concepts and practices with industry characteristics through transformation and upgrading and coordinated development among industries.

  Third, we must create high-quality people’s livelihood value.Enterprises should closely link products and services with people’s livelihood and well-being, actively create employment opportunities, promote community co-construction and sharing, contribute to charity, and help realize "common prosperity" of society, which has become a key force to promote the deeper and broader development of ESG practice in China.

  Second, improve the level of practice and strengthen the supply chain ESG management

  Enterprises in China should promote ESG practice with higher standards and a more rigorous attitude, and realize the balanced and sustainable development of economic, social and environmental benefits. Enterprises need to establish a strategic goal of comprehensively improving ESG practice level as the basic orientation of sustainable development of enterprises, fully consider the impact on the environment and society when making business decisions, and take corresponding measures to reduce potential adverse effects. At the same time, China enterprises also need to actively participate in the global ESG practice, learn from the best actions, and continuously improve their own ESG performance.

  Supply chain management is an important topic in the development of ESG in the world. APEC and the European Union have successively issued a number of policies to require enterprises to pay attention to the supply chain risks related to ESG and improve the security, stability and sustainability of the supply chain. However, it is found that the proportion of "Pioneer 100 Enterprises" carrying out supply chain ESG review is low. China, as the core of the global industrial chain and supply chain, should shoulder its due responsibilities and drive the upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to create long-term sustainable value. In the management of supply chain, enterprises should integrate ESG standards into the compliance review of suppliers to ensure that suppliers meet the corresponding standards in environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance; We should also provide ESG training and technical support to suppliers on a regular basis, and help suppliers understand and implement ESG best practices by sharing knowledge and technology. In addition, enterprises should also establish long-term partnerships with suppliers to jointly face the challenges of ESG and help the whole industry upgrade ESG.

  Third, improve corporate governance and enhance the "she" power in the top-level structure

  Sound corporate governance is the key to achieve ESG goals, and an effective governance system can guide and promote enterprises to continuously improve on environmental and social issues. High-quality corporate governance has also been proved to improve the economic performance and risk management ability of enterprises, enhance the resilience to meet challenges and promote the long-term sustainable development of enterprises.

  First, we must adhere to the guidance of party building.The leadership of the Party plays an important leading role in corporate governance. It is necessary to better transform the leadership advantage of the Party into governance efficiency, and integrate the leadership of the Party, corporate governance and ESG governance with each other, so as to enhance the "control power" of enterprise decision-makers on sustainable development and promote the in-depth development of enterprise ESG work.

  Second, we should improve the ESG governance structure.Enterprises should establish a decision-making and leadership mechanism for ESG work at the board level, regularly analyze the risks and opportunities of the enterprise’s social environment, examine and approve the company’s ESG strategy and key work, and review ESG major issues. At the same time, under the leadership of the board of directors, an ESG work organization system composed of management and executive layer is established to realize the guidance and supervision of ESG work by management and the implementation of ESG work by executive layer.

  Third, we must strengthen the power of "her".Gender equality is an important topic of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 2030. At the decision-making level and management level, the role of "she" power can not be ignored. The different views and experiences brought by female directors and executives are helpful to improve decision-making efficiency and promote enterprise value creation. However, it is found that the average proportion of female directors and female executives in Pioneer 100 enterprises is 16.7% and 20.2%, both of which are lower than those in developed markets. China enterprises need to improve the diversification of governance structure, actively increase the proportion of female directors and female executives, make good use of "her" power to improve decision-making efficiency and promote enterprise value creation.

  Fourth, improve ESG management, pay attention to planning guidance and system construction.

  An effective ESG management system can help enterprises form advantages in value creation, risk control and market competitiveness; Moreover, this kind of ESG management, which goes deep into all levels and business links of enterprises, can also guide enterprises to form endogenous motivation for social and environmental responsibilities and promote the simultaneous improvement of social and commercial values of enterprises. The action rate of "Pioneer 100 Enterprises" in establishing ESG strategic objectives, formulating ESG special system and establishing ESG index system is still low, which needs to be improved urgently.

  First, make a clear ESG plan.Planning is an important tool for enterprises to define ESG objectives, set work paths and guide work implementation. Enterprises should combine their own business characteristics and market environment, set practical ESG work objectives, and formulate systematic and practical ESG action plans.

  Secondly, we should establish and improve the ESG system.A good system can ensure that ESG planning is implemented and implemented in the daily operation of enterprises. Enterprises should build a "1+N" ESG system with ESG special system as the guide and multi-dimensional specific implementation methods such as environmental protection, product management, customer service, employee responsibility and supply chain management as the constituent elements, clarify the powers and responsibilities of various departments and posts for ESG work, and ensure that ESG concepts are implemented throughout the business process of enterprises.

  Finally, we should build a scientific ESG index system.Enterprises should build a layered, graded and classified ESG index system suitable for the characteristics of industries and companies, provide quantifiable tools for issue identification, report preparation, risk management and performance evaluation, help enterprises to clarify responsibilities, monitor progress and evaluate effects, and promote fine management and continuous improvement of ESG work.

  V. Improve the data disclosure rate, and release ESG related reports before April 30th.

  ESG information disclosure is a comprehensive mapping of enterprise ESG management and practice level. High-quality ESG envelope can not only reduce the compliance risk of enterprises, but also help enterprises gain recognition from consumers, regulators and rating agencies. In recent years, the global requirements for ESG envelopes have become more and more stringent, so it is urgent for China enterprises to further improve the quality and timeliness of ESG envelopes.

  The disclosure of ESG key data is the most important thing to improve the quality of ESG information disclosure. ESG data provides quantitative, clear and comparable information for investors, regulators and the public, enhances the public and investors’ trust in enterprises, and also helps enterprises find and understand the problems and shortcomings of ESG work. The selection of "Pioneer 100 Enterprises" attaches great importance to the performance of key data, and the evaluation system contains a large number of quantitative indicators. China enterprises should establish and improve the ESG data management mechanism to ensure the effective collection, storage and processing of data; It is necessary to improve the quality and comparability of ESG data disclosure and better reflect the status quo and trends of key indicators.

  The timeliness of ESG report release is also crucial. Timely disclosure of ESG information helps investors and other stakeholders to compare and analyze the financial performance and non-financial performance of the company, so as to make timely and accurate investment decisions; It is also helpful for enterprises to discover and deal with ESG risks and opportunities that may be faced in time. In recent years, global regulators have gradually tightened the release time of ESG reports. The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong and Euronext have required that ESG reports of listed companies should be published simultaneously with annual reports. In combination with the requirement of China Securities Regulatory Commission that annual reports of listed companies should be compiled and disclosed within four months from the end of each fiscal year, April 30 is chosen as the deadline for the collection of ESG reports. Therefore, we suggest that listed companies in China should release ESG related reports of the previous year no later than April 30th every year, so as to improve the timeliness of report release. In addition, we should actively participate in the evaluation of third-party reports, improve the quality of ESG reports with the help of professional strength, and then force the improvement of ESG management and practice.

At the end of the year, we will also hold the annual ceremony of "China ESG Model", select the top ten "China ESG Model" enterprises, and show their excellent ESG practice cases, with a view to establishing a clear social value orientation, promoting enterprises to continuously optimize ESG practices, and forming a good atmosphere for the whole society to pay attention to and promote ESG.

  In the process of evaluation and implementation, we will always pay attention to the development trend of ESG at home and abroad, and adjust and update the ESG evaluation standards in time to ensure that they are always in line with international standards and national conditions, and accurately reflect the ESG performance of China enterprises. In this process, we will continue to promote the standardization and normalization of ESG in China, and strive to push ESG practice in China to the international level.

  Finally, we sincerely hope that all enterprises in China can actively embrace and practice the ESG concept, constantly improve their own ESG level, carry out ESG practice in a down-to-earth manner, and show their responsibility.

Ten potential targets for biomedical mergers and acquisitions in 2023

4、Axsome Therapeutics(NASDAQ:AXSM)

AXSM is a model of Biotech in the field of central nervous system in recent years. Its share price has risen more than 30 times in the past four years, and it has also enabled CFO Nick Pizzie, who defected from Pierre Fabre USA in 2018, to gain wealth freedom. At that time, the market value of AXSM was less than 100 million US dollars.

Behind the stock price rise is AXSM’s successive clinical trials:

The third phase trial of AXS-05 in the treatment of major depression (MDD) and bipolar disorder in Az Harmo was successful, and the indication of MDD has been approved for marketing.

The third phase trial of AXS-07 for migraine was successful, and it is planned to submit NDA; this year;

8、Revance(NASDAQ:RVNC)

RVNC is a pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing cosmetic medical products. Relying on the unique TransMTS? peptide technology, it has developed a differentiated botulinum toxin for injection, which was approved in the third quarter of last year.

Different from the existing Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau and other products on the market, DAXXIFY is a new product that is truly different from BOTOX, the number one product in the field of botulinum toxin. In the treatment of brow wrinkles, the curative time of DAXXIFY is almost 1.5 to 2 times that of BOTOX, while the annual income of the latter is 14.6 billion US dollars.

Because of its remarkable effect, DAXXIFY aims at the top one-third of the existing users. Investment banks predict that DAXXIFY will occupy 30% of the US market and its annual sales will exceed $1 billion. In the first quarter (the fourth quarter of last year) just after it was approved, the sales of DAXXIFY experience users were already expected to be between $10.5 million and $11.5 million.

In addition to DAXXIFY, the company also has RHA fillers with less side effects and better effects than hyaluronic acid. The sales revenue in the first year after listing was more than 70 million US dollars, and the growth rate last year remained at 40%+. Different from other small pharmaceutical companies, the company also has a commercial platform OPUL?, which is a cloud platform integrating customer relationship maintenance and financial payment functions, providing services for all kinds of medical and beauty businesses. As of the third quarter of last year, the total platform GPV in the past 12 months exceeded 630 million US dollars.

In the environment of raising interest rates, large pharmaceutical companies facing the cliff of heavy drug patents are likely to be interested in mergers and acquisitions of RVNC with great sales revenue potential and quick results.

9、Krystal Biotech(NASDAQ:KRYS)

KRYS is a unique gene therapy company, which does not use the common adeno-associated virus or lipid nanoparticles to deliver genetic material, but loads the gene into herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) to make it reach its target in vivo. HSV-1 has higher carrying capacity than other gene therapy technologies, which not only broadens the scope of potential diseases that KRYS may treat, but also can realize repeated administration.

KRYS has developed a series of drugs for dermatoses and respiratory diseases on its gene therapy technology platform, among which the most important one is B-VEC for the treatment of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB), which is currently in the waiting stage for PDUFA.

60521677626446329

B-VEC has obtained the priority evaluation qualification granted by FDA. Due to CMC, the approval time was postponed to May 19th this year, and the probability of approval was high. If approved, this will be the first approved gene therapy for DEB.

Although the market of DEB is not very large, B-VEC has proved the feasibility of the company’s technology platform to some extent. Besides the skin diseases and respiratory diseases that have been laid out at present, the company has also started clinical trials to treat cystic fibrosis. In addition, Jeune Aesthestics, a subsidiary of KRYS, is still trying to enter the field of medical beauty.

With its unique technology platform value and several promising research pipelines, KRYS is expected to become an M&A option for large pharmaceutical companies.

10、Xenon(NASDAQ:XENE)

XENE is a company that focuses on the treatment of neurological diseases by regulating ion channels. The main indication is epilepsy. At present, there are four drugs under research in the pipeline, XEN1101, XEN496, XEN901 and XEN007, which have cooperated with well-known enterprises in CNS field, Neurocrine and Alexion (acquired by AstraZeneca).

In October, 2021, the company announced that XEN1101, the main pipeline, announced the success of the second phase of the clinical treatment of adult local epilepsy, and the FDA required the company to make another third phase to apply for listing. XEN496, another treatment for infantile epilepsy, is also in the third clinical stage, and it also needs a greater probability of success.

In addition, the company’s drug XEN1101 is still in the second phase of clinical treatment for major depression (MDD), and the market of MDD is bigger than that of epilepsy. If the data released in the second half of the year is good, it will increase the probability of the company being acquired.

Solidly promote the overall protection of intangible heritage

   [Expert Comments]

   Intangible heritage is an important part of excellent traditional culture. Protecting and inheriting intangible cultural heritage plays an important role in forging a solid sense of the Chinese nation’s community and enhancing cultural self-confidence. In December 2022, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made important instructions on the protection of intangible cultural heritage, emphasizing the need to do a solid job in the systematic protection of intangible cultural heritage, better meet the people’s growing spiritual and cultural needs, and promote cultural self-confidence.

   According to the data of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, up to now, there are 1,557 national intangible heritage projects and 3,062 national intangible heritage inheritors in China. There are 43 projects in China listed in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List, ranking first in the world. China’s overall protection of intangible heritage has achieved fruitful results.

   Intangible heritage protection is not easy. Because intangible cultural heritage itself has no physical form, and it has to rely on live transmission, it has become very fragile in the rapid changes of society. It is often futile to protect intangible cultural heritage projects and inheritors. In this context, the concept of "cultural and ecological protection zone" came into being. The Measures for the Administration of National Cultural and Ecological Protection Zones, which was implemented in 2019, pointed out that national cultural and ecological protection zones refer to specific areas with the protection of intangible cultural heritage as the core and the overall protection of cultural forms with rich historical and cultural accumulation, good survival status, important values and distinctive characteristics, and approved by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

   Up to now, there are 16 national cultural and ecological protection zones in China. Cultural and ecological reserves bear the internal motivation and suitable environment for the formation and development of intangible cultural heritage. Building cultural and ecological reserves is an important practice to implement the systematic protection of intangible cultural heritage.

   The main protection contents of the cultural ecological protection zone are: first, to protect the intangible cultural heritage projects and representative inheritors; second, to protect the natural environment and human environment related to intangible cultural heritage; third, to protect and repair the cultural ecological system, and to maintain the balance of the cultural ecological system, so as to coordinate it with the regional natural ecological protection and economic and social development. To this end, we must adhere to the "two combinations" and build a cultural ecological protection zone that conforms to China’s national conditions, completely covers material and cultural heritage such as cultural relics protection units and historical and cultural cities, towns and villages, and takes intangible cultural heritage protection as the core. At the same time, it will link up national cultural parks and major national cultural engineering construction projects, activate the use of cultural heritage, and let intangible cultural heritage "see people, see things and see life".

Many places across the country have proposed to celebrate the Spring Festival on the spot. Can you still go home this Spring Festival?

Cctv newsRecently, sporadic cases have appeared in many places in China, and the situation of epidemic prevention and control in winter is grim. There is still more than one month before the Spring Festival. In order to reduce the large-scale personnel flow during the Spring Festival, recently, many places across the country issued the initiative of "not returning home during the Spring Festival" to encourage enterprises and institutions to arrange flexible vacations and celebrate the New Year on the spot when conditions permit.

Do not return home unless necessary.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the domestic epidemic prevention and control work is facing a big test of personnel mobility and gathering.

On December 25, 2020, the Beijing conference on epidemic prevention and control mentioned that "it is not necessary to leave Beijing, and it is not necessary to leave the country", and the citizens are encouraged to spend the New Year in Beijing. The cadres of the party and government organs take the lead in celebrating the holidays in Beijing, and those who really need to leave Beijing must be strictly examined and approved.

The Shanghai Health Promotion Center also reminds the general public to arrange their trips reasonably during the Spring Festival, and not to travel unless necessary, so as to encourage them to return home and return to their posts. If you must travel across regions, you must know the local epidemic situation and prevention and control policies in advance, and know whether there are any cases or epidemics in the destination in the near future, and suspend travel in medium and high-risk areas.

On December 30, 2020, the Shenzhen Municipal Health and Wellness Committee issued a notice that civil servants, institutions and employees of state-owned enterprises must apply for leaving Shenzhen, and other companies should try their best to take holidays at the wrong peak and encourage them to stay in Shenzhen for the New Year.

In addition, in order to reduce the large-scale population flow, Henan, Anhui, Sichuan, Hunan and other major labor exporting provinces have recently issued notices, demanding "not to return home unless necessary".

For example, the disease control departments of Kaifeng City and Xinxiang City in Henan Province issued tips to encourage migrant workers and scholars to stay in the local festivals as much as possible to reduce the pressure of prevention and control in the two places; Linquan County, Fuyang City, Anhui Province, and Xiaoxian County, Suzhou City suggest that migrant workers stay in their places of work for the New Year, and they can use WeChat, Internet, telephone, etc. Yuyao and Yinzhou in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province encourage and guide teachers and students to stay in the local winter vacation, and report to the school in advance if they really need to leave.

Earlier, the State Council issued a notice to encourage enterprises and institutions to flexibly arrange vacations according to their production, work conditions and employees’ wishes, and guide employees to take vacations at their workplaces as much as possible during the Spring Festival, and pay overtime wages and leave for employees who work overtime during the Spring Festival according to law.

On January 1, 2021, Academician Zhang Boli said in an interview that the cold season is very suitable for the virus to survive, and this winter and next spring will be the key period to prevent and control the epidemic. "During the National Day in 2020, hundreds of millions of people in China will have nothing to do with the flow. You may say that the Spring Festival can still flow, but &lsquo; No &rsquo; Because the seasons are different. " Therefore, it is recommended that you gather less during the Spring Festival and try not to arrange travel without special circumstances.

Those who really need to return home: nucleic acid test+health code+pass code.

For those who really need to return home, Henan, Anhui, Sichuan, Hunan and other regions have also made clear requirements. Among them, nucleic acid test report, health code and pass code are basic standards, such as Suzhou City, Anhui Province, Ganxian County, Shaanxi Province, etc. It is clear that all returnees need to report to the town (street) or unit in the destination area in advance or at the first time, and hold a valid nucleic acid test report within 7 days to verify the health code and pass code.

In some areas, it is specifically mentioned that migrant workers engaged in the cold chain logistics industry should report to their communities in advance before returning home. For example, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province requires those who are studying, traveling, taking vacations, working outside the province (especially those engaged in importing cold chain food), planning to come and visit relatives, etc., please report their personal itinerary and contact information to the community (village) and unit where the destination is located in advance.

For people returning from overseas and high-risk areas, nucleic acid detection and isolation measures are required in many places. For example, Huangchuan County, Xinyang City, Henan Province issued a notice, and returnees from overseas and medium-and high-risk areas must report their trips to their jurisdictions in advance, and implement nucleic acid testing and 14-day centralized isolation measures.

Railway Department: Tickets purchased before 24: 00 on January 6 will be refunded free of charge.

Recently, sporadic cases and local epidemic have occurred in some parts of the country. In order to cooperate with the implementation of epidemic prevention and control policies of local governments, the railway departments have made the following adjustments to the provisions on passenger train ticket refund:

From 0: 00 on January 7, 2021, when passengers refund valid tickets of trains purchased before 24: 00 on January 6, 2021 at stations, railway 12306 websites (including mobile phone clients) and other channels, no refund fee will be charged, and the purchased railways will be handled together with accident insurance.

A number of airlines: flights involving key epidemic prevention and control areas are returned and changed free of charge.

Recently, a number of airline companies have issued policies on the cancellation of flights in key epidemic prevention and control areas. Up to now, China International Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, Shandong Airlines, etc. have released plans for returning flights involving Beijing’s inbound and outbound flights; Hainan Airlines, Grand China Airlines, Hebei Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Spring Airlines, etc. have issued special handling plans for Shijiazhuang’s inbound and outbound flight tickets.

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! "

Can helping Yonghui and blasting the BBK Fat East model save offline retail?

  The market is concerned about the recovery of offline retail.

  The long-lost () recently attracted great attention from the market because of a cooperation news.

  On May 8, Yonghui Supermarket’s share price went up by a daily limit, closing at 2.62 yuan that day, with a total market value of 23.7 billion. However, one day later, at the close of May 9, its share price fell back to 2.55 yuan/share, down 2.67%.

  In the news, on May 7th, Yu Donglai, the chairman of Fat Donglai, appeared in Yonghui Supermarket in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. At the closed meeting after this visit, Yu Donglai made a decision and started to help and reform Yonghui Supermarket.

  In this regard, the relevant person of Yonghui Supermarket told 21st century business herald that "we are learning from Fat East now, and the company will put performance first, so it is not convenient to disclose the progress of assistance".

  As two major supermarket brands born out of low-tier cities, Yonghui and Pangdonglai have similar growth genes. However, when Yonghui made great strides in the first-tier market in the past two decades, Pangdonglai chose to deepen the Henan market and became popular on social networks with high cost performance and "meticulous service" last year. This cooperation between the two has once again strengthened the market’s expectation for the recovery of offline retail.

  Zhu Danpeng, a senior researcher at China Food Industry Research Institute, said in an interview with 21st century business herald that the offline retail consumer market in China has entered a diversified and multi-level node, and the market must use multiple formats to meet and match the core needs and demands of consumers. "Some people talk about cost performance, some talk about quality and price ratio, some talk about brand tonality, some talk about differentiation, and some talk about high quality." Zhu Danpeng said that the advantage of Fat East is actually an extension of the "five-plus strategy" of multi-brand, multi-category, multi-scene, multi-channel and multi-consumer groups, which can better meet the diverse needs of Chinese people. Help Yonghui Supermarket and BBK

  21st century business herald reporter learned that the two start-up stores of Fat Donglai are Yonghui Supermarket Hanhai Beijindian Store and Xinxiang Baolong Plaza Store, and the renovation work is expected to start at the beginning of June and the end of June respectively. In the process of helping the reform, the team from Fat Donglai will be responsible for leading the management work, and Yonghui Supermarket will also set up a special "Yonghui Supermarket Reform Team" to cooperate with and support the smooth progress of the whole reform work.

  In terms of specific transformation measures, referring to the previous adjustment and reform of BBK by Fat Donglai, it mainly involves three aspects: adjusting the layout of stores to provide more convenient and smoother shopping routes; Adjust commodities to provide first-line brand commodities with better quality and more reasonable price; Improve the treatment of employees and stimulate their heartfelt sense of service.

  According to relevant media reports, for the adjustment and reform of Yonghui, first, in terms of merchandise in the store, we will comprehensively refer to the commodity structure of Pangdonglai, focusing on Yonghui’s existing supply chain system, with Pangdonglai as a structural supplement to greatly improve the quality of goods. Second, it will improve the salary of Yonghui-related store employees and shorten working hours.

  The adjustment and reform will focus on the team management of Pangdonglai, with Guan Na, the general manager of Pangdonglai Supermarket, and Wang Ming, the general manager of Pangdonglai Xinxiang as the two places. Zhang Xuansong, the chairman of Yonghui Supermarket, is located in Zhengzhou, and transferred the national elite to form the "Yonghui Supermarket Adjustment and Reform Team" to cooperate with the on-site adjustment and reform.

  However, it is worth noting that it seems more realistic to interpret the cooperation between the two companies as "mutual benefit" than the outside world’s belief that Fat Donglai unilaterally "helped" Yonghui Supermarket. As Yonghui Supermarket, which is known for its advantages in supply chain, it is natural to make up for its own shortcomings in store design and operators while its business situation is improving.

  According to the report of Yonghui Supermarket in the first quarter of 2024, in the first quarter of 2024, Yonghui achieved an operating income of 21.665 billion yuan, an increase of 30.87% from the fourth quarter of 2023; The net profit of returning to the mother reached 736 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.57%; The net profit of returning to the mother after deduction was 599 million yuan; The weighted average return on equity reached 11.68%, an increase of 2.58 percentage points. In 2023, Yonghui achieved a revenue of 78.642 billion yuan last year, a year-on-year decrease in net profit attributable to its mother of 1.434 billion yuan, and a cash flow from operating activities of 4.569 billion yuan.

  In fact, this is not the first time that Fat Donglai has replicated and promoted his own business model.

  From March 31st to April 2nd this year, at the invitation of Wang Tian, the founder of BBK, Yu Donglai led a senior management team to Hunan to start the adjustment and rectification of BBK. As the first modified store, BBK Meixihu Store has made a comprehensive adjustment from the aspects of store layout, product structure, quality and price, environment and personnel service.

  According to public information, before the reform, the store had an average daily sales of about 150,000 yuan and an average daily passenger flow of 2,000 people. On the first day of the reform, the sales reached 210,000 yuan and the passenger flow reached 4,200. On April 20th and 21st, the store’s sales exceeded 1.42 million yuan for two consecutive days. On the first day of the May Day holiday, the store sales reached 2.4 million yuan, and the sales passenger flow reached 17,700.

  In addition to BBK after the "explosive reform", there are all kinds of self-owned brand products from Fat East to attract consumers to the store. According to Cailian News Agency, on April 11th, online celebrity’s "Big Moon Cake" was sold out soon after the sale. On April 12th, Fat Donglai’s own brand products, such as DL brewed wheat beer, DL fruit juice and DL free-love liquor, were put on the shelves one after another, and were also quickly snapped up. "Fat East" mode

  Pang Donglai was once called "the existence of China retail industry" by Lei Jun.

  According to public information, Pangdonglai Trading Group Co., Ltd. was established in 1997, and has never carried out large-scale chain expansion. Due to years of deep cultivation of services and products, and not excessive pursuit of scale exaggeration, Pangdonglai has become a representative of the supermarket industry. At present, its stores are only opened in Xinxiang and Xuchang.

  However, at the moment when physical retail is facing difficulties, Fat Donglai is living very well. According to Yu Donglai’s introduction, Fat Donglai’s revenue in 2023 is estimated to exceed 10 billion, with a tax revenue of 300 million to 400 million and a profit of 300 million to 400 million.

  Previously, when asked why he didn’t open a shop in Zhengzhou, Yu Donglai explained that compared with Xuchang, Zhengzhou’s store cost and employee benefits were much higher, so it was not suitable for copying.

  Regarding the question of "can’t leave Henan", he also responded in an interview: "Fat Donglai wants to be an example and let more people learn, not how many companies he wants to be, and he has not left the concept of Henan."

  In fact, the "password" of Fat Donglai, which lasted for many years and became popular on the Internet in the near future, is also hidden in the refined service and warm corporate culture.

  Previously, because of service problems, the management staff of Fat Donglai were all demoted for three months, and they came to apologize for customers with gifts and 500 yuan Service Complaint Award.

  But at the same time, Fat Donglai is also very protective of employees. It stipulates that customers’ rights and interests can be fed back through complaint channels, but they can’t yell at employees at the scene. This is a serious act that hurts personality and dignity. Where is the offline retail going?

  In fact, in the eyes of the industry, the capital market’s violent reaction to Fat Donglai’s help to Yonghui Supermarket, in addition to individual stock factors, implies more expectations for the supermarket format to get out of the current predicament.

  Previously, Shanghai Chengchao’s parent company "Shanghai City Supermarket Co., Ltd.", which had been deeply cultivated in Shanghai for more than 20 years, suddenly announced its closure. According to the "Notice" issued by Shanghai City Supermarket, the operation of Shanghai City Supermarket has been difficult in recent years, and it is still difficult to continue despite various self-help measures. Therefore, it was decided to dissolve and stop the operation of all stores in Shanghai City Supermarket from April 16, 2024.

  Shanghai City Supermarket, established in 1995, deals in local delicacies all over the world, more than 80% of which are imported goods. It was once one of the largest imported food and daily necessities supermarkets in Shanghai and even the Yangtze River Delta. Due to the focus on high-end imported boutique supermarkets, Shanghai City Supermarket’s stores in Shanghai, such as Shangcheng Store, Jinqiao Store, Lianyang Store and Tianshan Store, are all located in the traditional "high-end residential area".

  However, in today’s developed e-commerce, the high-input mode of selling imported goods has not helped Shanghai Chengchao to form a differentiated advantage, but has led to unprecedented difficulties in its operation.

  According to an interview with its founder Cui Yixiong in 2016, Shanghai Chengchao has more than 20,000 products, of which more than 8,000 products are directly purchased from abroad, and its sales account for more than 60% of the total sales. In order to ensure the quality, Shanghai Chengchao has set up direct agricultural bases in Pujiang, Maqiao, Huacao and Huating, Hainan and Yunnan in Shanghai since 1997, and even the employees, feed and seeds used in them are directly controlled by the company. In addition, the company has established direct production bases and logistics.

  A consumer said that the earliest contact with imported food began in Shanghai city supermarket. Although the price was a bit high, the product quality was not bad. "Later, imported food was available everywhere, so I wouldn’t go to the city supermarket specially."

  The closure of Shanghai city supermarkets is not a case. According to incomplete statistics, in the first quarter of 2024, at least 31 supermarket brands and more than 140 stores in China closed down, involving well-known brands such as Wal-Mart, RT Mart, Yonghui, Wumei, over the rainbow Supermarket, Boxma Xiansheng and CP Lotus. Among them, there are also some first stores in cities or regions, such as the first store of Wal-Mart in Nanjing, the first store of Yonghui in China, the first store of Fuzhou Pingxi, and the first store of Zhuji in wu mart.

  Pei Liang, president of China Chain Store & Franchise Association, pointed out to 21st century business herald that the core reason why offline supermarkets in China are in trouble at present is that the production end and brand end of China are too strong, and the client is slightly weak.

  "China is the largest production base of FMCG in the world, and brands have very rich choices in channels. They can sell their products through e-commerce platforms and other channels. Retailers in Europe and the United States are very strong, occupying a great voice in the channel, so its dominant market position can ensure that it takes the initiative in the development and sales of its own brands, but this is particularly difficult in China. This is determined by the different national conditions and environments of the two places. " Yan Liang said.

Such a "goddess" is the most embarrassing!


Special feature of 1905 film network "Women also have thoughts, souls and ambitions. I have long been tired of everyone telling me that love is the only thing women should pursue."

 

As early as more than 100 years ago, Joe, played by Saoirse Ronan, made such a cry in the movie. This independence and persistence also inspired countless girls to break free and bravely pursue their hearts.


For women, work and career are not only the source of economic income, but also allow them to gain equality, respect, confidence and confidence while demonstrating their self-worth.

 

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, let Xiao Dianjun pay tribute to female workers from all walks of life through movies. "You work hard, really!"

 

Earn respect with dedication    

 

During this special period, we got to know many ordinary and extraordinary female workers.

 

They are retrograde angels in white, fighting in the front line of anti-epidemic, bearing heavy work pressure but without complaint. They said: "The patient’s happy smile on his face when he was discharged from hospital made everything worthwhile."

 

The same is true of Lu Wenting, an ophthalmologist played by Pan Hong in the movie "Man to Middle Age".


At that time when medical talents were scarce, Dr. Lu was paid a meager salary of 56.5 yuan.However, she often has to face the pressure of working 24 hours a day, but she has no complaints and always puts the needs of patients first.

 

Under the long-term overload operation, Lu Wenting suddenly suffered from myocardial infarction and was dying. On the morning of her illness, she completed three operations in succession.

Lying on her deathbed, Lu Wenting recalled her life, and "curing the patient" became the most gratifying thing in her life:"Every time an eye is cured, it brings me great happiness. The most important part of my life belongs to you (patients)."

 

When she recovered and was discharged from the hospital, the door was full of her former patients, and I believe that was the happiest moment for doctors.


Nice da Silva, the hero of Nice Crazy Heart, is also a female doctor.She is a student of carl jung, a famous Swiss psychologist, and the only woman among the 158 graduates of Bahia Medical College that year.

 

In that era when female doctors were weak, she bravely stood up against the mainstream "inhuman" psychiatric treatments such as frontal lobectomy and electric shock, and advocated giving patients humanized care and guidance.

Nice teaches patients how to use canvases, paints and brushes, and works with dogs to treat mental patients.

 

Through colorful and unrestrained paintings, we can see the patients’ incomparably rich inner world and human dignity.

  

"All chaos, madness and trauma need to be listened to and appeased."This is not "the benevolent heart of the doctor."


Educational moviesAdapted from a true story.

 

Lv Huihong, played by Miriam Yeung, was originally the principal of a prestigious school. She originally planned to retire early and travel around the world with her husband. However, a news that "suburban kindergartens are on the verge of closure and students are about to drop out of school" has aroused her heart of educating people.

Simple school conditions, only five students, plus a salary of 4,500 yuan, many people question that Lu Huihong is "putting on a show" and making a name for herself. However, she resolutely refused the advertising endorsement of the tutoring institution with an annual salary of 10 million yuan, and ran wholeheartedly for the five children.

 

She said to the students:"The headmaster’s dream is to be a good teacher, and he can stand at the school gate and wait for you to attend classes every day."


In reality, Lv Huihong is still the principal of Yuantian Kindergarten.

 

Under her hard work, in just five years, the number of students has increased from the initial five to as many as sixty, which has affected the fate of countless children and families.

 

This also fulfilled Lu Huihong’s initial intention of education."Being a teacher is doing a very meaningful thing and affecting life with life."



In the movieChinese and female journalist Sasha is a member of the "Focus" investigation team.


Together with her colleagues, she overcame many difficulties and exposed the dark side of church members’ long-term molestation of children and collusion between local forces.

 

In the face of threats and inducements from officials and the church, Sasha was humble and stuck to the responsibility and bottom line of journalists: digging the truth and reporting objectively.


Regardless of occupation, the dedicated and professional women in these films make us awe.

 

Break prejudice with strength   

 

In a special era, women should not only cope with work pressure in the workplace, but also always fight against discrimination and defend their hard-won right to work.

 

What happened to ruth bader ginsburg, the heroine of Gender-Oriented, is also a microcosm of the unequal treatment suffered by thousands of professional women in Qian Qian in the United States in the 1950s.


She graduated first in Harvard and Columbia Law School, but she couldn’t find a job as a lawyer.

 

The boss refused her for various reasons. "Female lawyers are too emotional." We hired a woman last year. "You are so beautiful that the wife of a male colleague will be jealous."

Although she had to put her dream of becoming a lawyer on hold, Ruth never gave up fighting for women’s rights and interests with the law.

 

Until the 1970s, when the social environment was mature, she began to challenge the unequal laws involving gender discrimination with one wonderful defense after another.And eventually became the first Jewish female federal supreme court justice in American history.

At the end of the film, she said hit the floor in court: "There are 178 laws concerning gender discrimination.This will be a thorn in our children’s future road. Our children are being turned away by various opportunities because of the so-called assumption of their abilities by the law &hellip;No matter how much effort it takes, we must amend these laws one by one. "

  

At the same time as ruth bader ginsburg, there are such a group of women in the film. Although they are superior in IQ and ability, they have to endure double discrimination because of their "black+female" status.

It takes half a mile to run to the bathroom to find a toilet for people of color; If you want to participate in training and obtain the qualification of an engineer, you must first go to court and go to court; Because of skin color and gender, promotion and salary increase have been delayed.

Faced with these tangible and intangible discrimination, they chose to fight back with courage and strength, and proved that sentence with actions."NASA hired us not because we wore skirts, but because we wore glasses."


 

It is these pioneers’ struggles and efforts step by step that make women in the space system no longer "computers in skirts" but have the opportunity to walk to the stage and enjoy the applause and respect they deserve.

  

Gender discrimination faced by Indian women is equally heavy. In the subconscious of many Indians, women are still the accessories of men, and they can get married at the age of 14 and teach their children for life.

 

But the father played by Aamir Hussain Khan chose a completely different path for his daughter. Despite the cynicism of the people around him, he insisted on letting his two daughters practice wrestling, and finally sent them to the podium of the international competition.

 

What he said to his daughter before the game made many people cry: "If you win tomorrow, it’s not your victory alone, but the victory won by thousands of girls. They are forced to be confined to housework, and the value of their lives is only to get married and have children.Tomorrow’s game is the most important game, because tomorrow you will play not only Australian players, but also all those who despise women! "

In the comment area of "Hidden People", there is a highly praised short comment that reads: "All the equality and not-so-equality we enjoy today are the result of the struggle of countless female predecessors. Never take what you have today for granted. "

 

This is the meaning of these films, and it is also the most touching place for this group of women.

 

Regain self-confidence with independence    

 

Maybe we can’t be "heroines" who change history, but we can also gain respect and confidence through a job we love.

 

In the movie, Josie, the heroine played by Charlize Theron, decided to become a female miner in order to get rid of her abusive husband.

You know, at that time, the ratio of male to female employees in American coal mines was 30: 1. Female miners not only had to bear heavy physical labor, but also endured male harassment and social strange eyes.

 

But Josie never wanted to give up. After getting her first salary, she broke down in tears: "For the first time in my life, I can earn money by myself and support my children.For the first time in my life, I feel like I’m alive."

 

This is the meaning of work for Josie. She can stand up and stop swallowing her husband’s violence and give her children a better life with her own hands.

Nicole in the movie has a seemingly perfect life, but only she knows that in order to maintain her marriage, she has gradually become the "shadow" of her husband.

 

Forgetting her taste, dreams and pursuits, Nicole confided to the lawyer:"I have never lived for myself, just making him more and more glorious."


After waking up, Nicole chose to bid farewell to this marriage that made her lose herself. In Los Angeles, she finally realized her dream of directing and found a second life in Hollywood.

 

More importantly, she realized that what she really needed to get rid of was not the marriage relationship, but the self-contempt and self-limitation.



Little Women’s most touching passage is not the happy ending and the sad and tactful love, but Joe’s persistent running figure for getting closer to his dream every time.


When the publisher agreed to publish her story for the first time, when she organized her sisters to rehearse a play, when inspiration came in and she worked hard, Joe’s eyes sparkled and his face flushed with excitement became the most beautiful splendor of the film.

 

In today’s society, the physical obstacles faced by women in the workplace are decreasing, but the intangible prejudice still exists. Marriage and family are still important criteria for many people to measure women’s "success".

 

Maybe we can’t change society overnight, but at least try not to set limits on ourselves first. Every woman has the right to pursue happiness, but happiness means more than marriage and love.

 

Only in this way, when decades of marriage once broke down, can you calmly say, like Natalie, a professor played by Hupel,"My life has not completely failed. I have a full intellectual life, which is enough to make me happy."


Or like Aunt March, played by "Aunt Mei" in Little Women, proudly said:"I don’t need to get married, because I am a giant!"


Finally, I quote the speech delivered by the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adiqi at the graduation ceremony of Wesleyan College in 2015, and give it to every struggling girl and woman:

 

"We may not be able to change the world, but we can try and work together to make tangible and real efforts. At least we worked so hard.

 

Never use gender as a reason to do or not do something. Never, never do or give up anything because you are a woman. "
