　　■ He Meitian: The idol of "Little Xia Nv" is Li Ning

　　

　　

　　She is an innocent little chivalrous girl in Fang Shiyu, the legendary swordsman, Dragon and Eight Branches, and The Journey to the West. Many people don’t understand her skill of wielding knives and guns. How can such a weak girl have such skill? It turns out that actor He Meitian used to be a gymnast. The twelve-year gymnastics career left He Meitian with the deepest impression that he was "bitter", but it will always come when he is bitter. Now, He Meitian has successfully transformed into an excellent actor. She said that the only time she won the championship would never be forgotten. It was in an international gymnastics invitational tournament. She represented China for the first time and only time, and also won the championship. When she was a child, her dream was to win the world championship, and her idol was "Prince of gymnastics" Li Ning.

　　He Meitian didn’t choose to retire until he was 16. Later, by chance, she entered the entertainment industry, and the first play from a gymnast to the entertainment industry was the collaboration with Jessica Hester Hsuan. Later, in many film and television works, such as Fang Shiyu, the legendary swordsman, Tian Long Ba Bu, The Journey to the West, etc., He Meitian was very talented. People who were not familiar with He Meitian in the crew were often worried about her dancing with such a weak physique, but when others later learned that she had practiced competitive gymnastics and was a master in vault and uneven bars, they were convinced. Perhaps it can be said that it was He Meitian’s gymnastics career that created the "Little Xia Nv" on the screen today.

　　Russia has played an irreplaceable role in the inheritance and development of ballet art. Dancers from Russia have tirelessly toured all over the world, spreading the seeds of ballet art to the world.

　　There are such a group of ballet art visitors in the Dance Open International Ballet Art Festival in St. Petersburg. In the past 19 years, Dance Open has cooperated with more than 190 ballet stars and choreographers from 13 countries, and has performed all over the world. It has held toe ceremonies in 23 countries in Europe, Asia and America.

　　After a lapse of one year, on November 26th, Dance Open landed in Shanghai Oriental Art Center again, bringing the most essential "Star Show" section of the whole art festival to Shencheng.

　　In just two hours, nine star dancers from Tchaikovsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Mihailovski Theatre, Mariinsky Theatre and Moscow Grand Theatre, such as Julian MacKay, a "beautiful ballet boy", will bring 13 ballet excerpts.

　　There are not only common classic works such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Fairy, Don Quixote, Romeo and Juliet, Firebird, but also less common modern works such as Ballet 101, Tango, Russian, SSS … Love and Mourning. The works of Pitipa and Bournonville are still shining brilliantly.

Ballet stars show off their signed ballet shoes.

　　This performance is still one month away from Christmas this year. To celebrate the coming of Christmas and the New Year, Dongyi held a special Christmas lighting ceremony before the performance, and invited four star dancers from Dance Open as guests to light the Christmas lights together with nearly 100 ballet lovers present.

　　Nearly 100 pairs of pink satin ballet shoes were hung on the Christmas tree in Dongyi Hall, of which 20 pairs were handed over to four star dancers for signature by four ballet students from Dongyi Education Department. These ballet shoes will be sold for charity on the night of the performance, and the East Art Association will donate the money to Shanghai Jiuqian Volunteer Service to help children with ballet dreams.

　　[Special correspondent of Global Times in Russia and Germany Sui Xin Special correspondent of Aoki Global Times Liu Yupeng] "Now it’s a tank, will it be a fighter next?" After some western countries broke the taboo of military assistance to Ukraine and announced the provision of main battle tanks to Ukraine, the outside world became increasingly worried about the further escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

　　On the 25th, the US and German governments respectively announced that they would provide Ukraine with main battle tanks that were previously considered "unimaginable" to help Ukraine gain an advantage on the battlefield, and Canada also announced that it would join the ranks on the 26th. Russia accused these actions of "playing with fire" and "naked provocation". On the 26th, Ukraine claimed that its entire energy infrastructure suffered a "massive air strike", killing at least 11 people. Uzbekistan thanked the Western countries for their promised tank assistance, and immediately put forward the next request unabashedly: fighter planes. In response to the decision of some western countries to provide tanks to Ukraine, Dujaric, spokesman of the UN Secretary-General, said on 26th that "according to the current developments observed by the UN in Ukraine, this will not bring the peace that the UN hopes".

　　"We can get everything except nuclear weapons."

　　After the western media reported for several days that "Germany will provide heavy tanks to Ukraine", the German government confirmed on the 25th that Germany will provide Ukraine with 14 "Leopard" main battle tanks, and approved other countries equipped with such German tanks to do so. Later the same day, US President Biden made a speech at the White House, saying that the United States would provide 31 M1 "abrams" main battle tanks to Ukraine. "Deutsche Welle" said that at this point, the United States changed its previous position of refusing to provide heavy tanks to Ukraine. However, according to US officials, it may take "several months" for these tanks to arrive in Ukraine. On the 26th, Canadian Defense Minister Anand said that four Leopard 2 main battle tanks will be provided to Ukraine in the next few weeks.

　　The Ukrainian side welcomes this decision. Ukrainian President Zelenski said in his speech on the evening of 25th that "this is good news for Ukraine", and he called on western countries to provide Ukraine with more heavy weapons, including long-range missiles, artillery and fighter planes. Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister melnick told DPA: "There is no doubt that this will change the battlefield situation and be a real breakthrough … …”

　　The Russian side reacted strongly. According to Russian newspaper Izvestia reported on the 26th, Russian Presidential Press Secretary peskov said on the same day that Russia believed that NATO countries were directly involved in the conflict by providing Ukrainian tanks and other weapons, and the degree was increasing. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zacharova said on the 27th that the supply of tanks by the West to Ukraine will not help Kiev to change the war situation, but will bring the confrontation between western countries and Russia to a new height.

　　France Radio International said on the 27th that the western military support is vital to Kiev. Before the Russian invasion, even the idea of providing deadly aid to Ukraine was controversial, but the western supply has broken one taboo after another. Yuri Sack, adviser to the Ukrainian Defense Minister, said: "They (Western countries) didn’t want to give us heavy artillery, and then they gave it; They didn’t want to give us the hippocampus system, and then they did; They didn’t want to give us tanks, and now they have; We can get everything except nuclear weapons. "

　　This decision has also been questioned in Europe. Taiani, Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, said on 25th that the EU has no real foreign and defense policies, and always follows the Americans, and ultimately serves the interests of the United States. Agence France-Presse said that Ukraine’s call for Western allies to provide more weapons was met with a cold shoulder among French leftists, who were worried that Russia with nuclear weapons would be stimulated and the war would escalate.

　　Next target: fighter plane?

　　"At one time, it seemed unimaginable to provide tanks to Ukraine. Is the combat opportunity the next one? " On the 26th, CNN reported that the decision of Germany, the United States, Britain and Poland to provide Ukraine with main battle tanks was faster than many people thought a few months ago. Western countries have shown unity and hope to stop Russia’s new offensive, and have put aside the concern that "more advanced weapons assistance may anger Russia." "With the commitment of tanks in place, Ukrainian leaders once again publicly called on the West to provide fighter jets." According to reports, Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov told CNN this week: "Last year, I sent a wish list card to Santa Claus, and fighter planes were among them."

　　According to the US CNBC website, Ukraine has made no secret that it hopes to receive fighter planes from its allies, such as American F-16s, to help it fight against Russia. Sarkozy, adviser to the Ukrainian Defense Minister, said: "The key to the next step is to acquire the fourth-generation fighter. If we get these fighters, the advantage on the battlefield will be enormous … … Not only the F-16 third-generation or third-and-a-half-generation fighters, but also the latest fourth-generation fighters, which is what we want. "

　　CNN said that in public, western leaders avoided discussing the issue of providing fighters to Ukraine, but now there are more and more signs that this is not impossible. Last week, the Dutch Foreign Minister told the country’s parliamentarians that there are "no taboos" when it comes to what the Netherlands can offer Ukraine. The Polish government also expressed its support for NATO to provide fighter jets to Ukraine on the 26th.

　　However, France Radio International said that German Chancellor Angela Scholcz was very cautious at present, saying that it was impossible to provide Ukrainian fighters. He said in the German Bundestag a few days ago, "I made it clear very early that we don’t talk about fighter planes." "Under any circumstances, we will not send ground troops, and NATO soldiers will not be directly involved in the Ukrainian war."

　　Corresponding to this statement, German Foreign Minister Berber said at the European Council meeting on the 24th that "European countries are at war with Russia", which attracted Russian attention. RIA Novosti said that Zacharova demanded an explanation from Germany on the 27th. A spokesman for the German Foreign Ministry had to respond and reiterated that NATO would not be a party to the Ukrainian war.

　　Russia’s "Viewpoint" said on the 26th that Korotchenko, editor-in-chief of Russian "Defense" magazine, believed that the decision of virtue to provide tanks to Ukraine was the beginning of large-scale military supply. Soon, the west will deliver hundreds of tanks. Russia’s response to this may be to equip the frontline combat troops with tactical nuclear weapons. He said: "We are heading for the 2.0 Caribbean crisis. We must be prepared for this. At present, all the red lines of Russia have been crossed by the West. "

　　"The overall plan of the Russian winter (spring) campaign in 2023 has surfaced."

　　"What we want to see is peace and a just world in line with the UN Charter. But what we have observed so far has not led us in this direction. " Dujaric, spokesman of the UN Secretary-General, said on 26th.

　　According to the Russian "Viewpoint" report, the Russian army has recently launched an active offensive in the direction of central and southern Donetsk and Zaporoge, and the overall plan of the Russian army’s winter (spring) campaign in 2023 has surfaced. According to the report, this campaign will be mainly reflected in a series of offensive actions consisting of independent offensives launched in front and even in all directions. These offensives will lead to confusion in the command of the Ukrainian army. Even if the Ukrainian army can grasp the operational information of Russian troops, it does not have enough time to mobilize the reserve team, and it is impossible to determine which direction "loopholes" should be blocked first.

　　Russia’s "Lianta. com" quoted Russian military and political scientist Pelenghi Yev as saying that the Ukrainian conflict is evolving into a global confrontation. But at present, Russia, NATO and the United States have not shown the will to launch the third world war. "The West is very interested in Ukraine’s continued hostilities, but it hopes that the conflict will continue in Ukraine."

　　"This is a profound tragedy and a multi-level global anti-epidemic failure." On September 14th, The Lancet, an internationally renowned medical journal, published a research report on the COVID-19 epidemic, clearly pointing out that the World Health Organization and most governments were too slow to respond to the COVID-19 epidemic, and many failed policies led to millions of avoidable deaths.

　　"Lessons Learned by The Lancet Members from the New Crown Epidemic" Screenshot of The Lancet magazine website.

　　According to public information, the The Lancet COVID-19 Epidemic Committee, which wrote this report, was established in July 2020, and its members include 28 global experts from public policy, international cooperation, epidemiology, vaccinology, economics, mental health and other fields. The Committee also supervised the work of 12 thematic groups composed of 173 experts.

　　The report criticized the performance of the World Health Organization (WHO) in the early stage of the outbreak of COVID-19, arguing that the organization was "too cautious and slow" in warning Covid-19’s interpersonal communication ability, listing the new epidemic as a "public health emergency of international concern" and supporting the public to wear masks.

　　The report also pointed out that the governments of most countries and regions in the world were also too slow to recognize the importance of the COVID-19 epidemic in time and take countermeasures. Although countries are highly interdependent, most governments have insufficient policy coordination to curb the epidemic. "As a result, millions of avoidable deaths have been caused and the process of sustainable development in many countries has been set back."

　　The report specifically mentions that before 2019, it is generally believed that the United States and Britain have the strongest ability to cope with the epidemic, and China and other western Pacific countries have lower scores. However, after the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the actual situation was completely contrary to expectations. These western Pacific countries took timely response measures and generally implemented policies to contain the epidemic.

　　The Lancet magazine’s COVID-19 Epidemic Committee pointed out that according to the report of the Institute of Health Indicators Assessment (IHME) of the University of Washington, as of the end of May this year, the number of deaths reported by COVID-19 epidemic worldwide exceeded 6.9 million. However, considering that a large number of deaths have not been officially counted, the agency estimates that the actual death toll may reach more than 17.2 million.

　　"This amazing figure is a profound tragedy and a multi-level global failure." "Too many governments have failed to abide by the basic principles of institutional rationality and transparency, too many people have failed to respect and oppose basic public health preventive measures, and too many countries have failed to cooperate to control the epidemic," the Committee wrote in its report.

　　On September 21, 2021, a white flag was erected in national mall, Washington, USA to commemorate the image of COVID-19’s deceased.

　　With regard to the current spread of virus strains in Omicron, The Lancet also pointed out that most countries prematurely canceled public health policies such as nucleic acid testing, wearing masks and social distance, which will bring high costs, and the extremely high infection rate will also disrupt education and work, bring considerable burden to health services and undermine economic recovery.

　　"At this stage, we should keep in mind three major risks. First of all, future variants may be highly contagious and deadly. Secondly, people who are not vaccinated at present are still vulnerable to morbidity and mortality, and provide opportunities for the virus to spread freely, increasing the risk of dangerous mutations. Finally, the Omicron epidemic shows that even people who are highly vaccinated may have economic chaos. The epidemic will lead to shortage of health and basic industries, suspension of schools, interruption of commercial operations, and hinder the recovery of tourism and international travel. "

　　Based on the reflection on the failure of most countries to fight the epidemic, the The Lancet COVID-19 Epidemic Committee called on the whole world to coordinate efforts to end the COVID-19 epidemic on a fast and fair basis.

　　The recommendations put forward in the report include that countries should implement vaccine strategies aimed at protecting the population on a sustainable basis; Strengthen national health systems and formulate plans to prevent epidemics; Pursue a global strategy to strengthen the R&D and production capacity in all regions of WHO, including low-income areas; Reform WHO, strengthen its functions and substantially increase its budget.

　　Regarding the report published by The Lancet magazine, the World Health Organization responded on September 15th that they agreed with the general recommendations listed by the Committee in the report, which is consistent with WHO’s commitment to strengthen the capacity of epidemic preparedness, prevention and response. However, WHO also claimed that there were several "key omissions and misunderstandings" in the report, especially underestimating the speed and scope of WHO’s handling of the COVID-19 epidemic.

　　Screenshot of WHO statement

　　Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of WHO, said at the press conference on 14th, "We haven’t reached that step yet, but the end point is just around the corner … … But marathoners will never stop when they see the finish line, but will try their best and run harder. Now is the time to run harder to ensure that we cross the finish line and reap the fruits of our hard work. "

　　Regarding the upcoming epidemic situation in autumn and winter, WHO experts believe that there may be a new wave of infection in the future, and urge countries to maintain high vigilance. Maria Van Kerkhoff, technical director of WHO’s health emergency project, said at a news conference on 14th that Covid-19 is still spreading at a high level all over the world, and the actual number of confirmed cases has been underestimated.

　　She predicted that there might be an infection tide caused by Omicron subtype strains or even new mutant strains in different places and at different time points in the future. However, she also stressed that because people already have anti-epidemic tools such as vaccines and antiviral drugs, the new wave of infection does not necessarily mean more new deaths.

　　According to the Financial Times, Jeffery Sachs, the chairman of The Lancet magazine’s COVID-19 Epidemic Committee and a professor at Columbia University, also warned that it was time to "face the grim facts".

　　Sachs pointed out in his report that the COVID-19 epidemic exposed the weakness of the multilateral system based on the United Nations. He believes that these failures mainly stem from vaccine nationalism, inflexibility of intellectual property system and political erosion of multilateral solutions.

　　"Our most basic proposal is to strengthen multilateralism in all key areas such as politics, culture, institutions and finance." Sachs wrote, "We call on all countries, especially the richest and most powerful countries, to support, maintain and strengthen the work of the United Nations system."

(Reporter Liu Bo) Many people who like fitness think that summer is a good season for fitness. Zhang Wei, a senior fitness coach in this city, suggested that it is hot in summer, so you should pay more attention to exercise, otherwise it will be harmful to your health.

Summer fitness, we must reasonably replenish water. A lot of exercise can make the water in the body lose quickly. It is recommended to drink 800 ml of water half an hour before exercise. If outdoor exercise lasts more than 30 minutes, be sure to bring enough water, preferably to supplement salt. Don’t drink a lot of water at once after exercise, otherwise it will increase the burden on your body, especially your heart. You can use a small number of times to drink, and only drink a few mouthfuls each time. In addition, you should not drink too much cold drinks after exercise, otherwise the body will suddenly lose its balance due to cold inside and hot outside, causing stomach discomfort.

In addition, summer sports need suitable equipment. Sweating a lot during exercise requires clothes with good sweat absorption performance, and the clothes should not be too tight. In outdoor sports, it is best to wear sports sunglasses and a sun hat, and bring cool oil and musk to prevent heatstroke.

After exercise, don’t take a cold shower or blow the electric fan air conditioner immediately, because at this time, the metabolism of all tissues and organs in the whole body increases, the skin capillaries expand in large quantities, contract immediately when it is cold, and the sweat glands close, which makes people feel more unbearable, and also disrupts the normal function of organs in the body and is easy to catch a cold.

In terms of diet, you should eat some staple food or fruit one hour before fitness to avoid low calorie intake and poor physical strength. After the fitness, replenish energy after 40 to 50 minutes.

In modern society, the concept of "fashion" has become more and more vague, which seems to make people somewhat puzzled. Those dresses that were once regarded as "naked, unlined upper garment and shoes" are now respected and crowned as "fashion". This phenomenon makes people think deeply: what is "fashion"?

In this era, people pursue individuality and uniqueness, which is right or wrong, and the so-called "fashion" has become a way for them to show their own style. However, when some people regard clothes that are too revealing or weird as fashion, should we reflect on the values behind them? Is this fashion really worth promoting?

We should be worried when we see that some women choose to wear explicit or vulgar clothes in pursuit of the so-called trendy dress. These behaviors not only destroy social morality and social atmosphere, but also will have a bad influence on teenagers.

Real fashion should be based on respect for yourself and others, rather than attracting attention through excessive nudity. It should be a positive attitude towards life, an understanding and appreciation of beauty, and a concern and shaping of one’s own image.

Therefore, we need to re-examine the "fashion" of this era and advocate a healthier, more rational and connotative lifestyle. Only in this way can our society truly achieve harmonious development, and everyone can enjoy their own wonderful time. Let’s reject those seemingly novel but distorted fashion trends together!

Everyone knows that exercise is good for health, and it is a good time to carry out outdoor sports in spring.

However, do you know which kind of exercise is most beneficial to health?

Bow your head for a long time and practice swing sports

Previously, a research article on sports published in the famous medical journal The Lancet showed that after tracking 80,000 people for 10 years, the researchers found that compared with the subjects who did not participate in the corresponding sports, the all-cause mortality of swing athletes decreased by 47%, ranking first in common sports. The second place is swimming and the third place is aerobic exercise.

Then, why are swing sports (badminton, table tennis, tennis, etc.) so powerful?

Medical experts give the following conclusions: 1. Swing can stimulate the shoulder muscles and the biceps brachii and triceps brachii, and effectively enhance the strength of the shoulder and arm muscles. 2. In the process of fast moving, the whole body muscles need to be coordinated, especially the leg muscles will be effectively exercised. 3. In the process of exercise, the brain needs to think quickly and nervously, which has the function of strengthening the brain and can delay the cerebral arteriosclerosis of the elderly and keep their thinking and memory. 4. Eyes staring at the ball can promote the eye to regulate movement and accelerate the blood supply and metabolism of eyeball tissue. In addition, in the process of raising our heads and waving our rackets again and again, our shoulders and necks, which are stiff due to long-term bowing down for office and entertainment, will also be exercised. 6. Swing requires at least two people to participate, which is helpful to establish a healthy social relationship.

Make four preparations before swinging.

01 warm up

It is suggested to warm up fully before exercise, so that the body can adapt to this feeling of accelerated blood flow and muscle extension, and then gradually strengthen the intensity of exercise, and do full stretching recovery after training. Generally speaking, the preparation time should not be less than 10 minutes. Jogging, leg press, rubbing joints and stretching muscles in various parts are common methods.

Pay attention to the action norms when exercising. Relax before catching the ball. The big arm drives the small arm, and then drives the fingers and wrists to hit the ball hard. Don’t swing your arm.

Relax for no less than 20 minutes. You can relax each other or yourself, and relax your leg and arm muscles by pressing, stepping and throwing.

02 choose the right equipment

Racket is an essential equipment for swing sports. For beginners, try to choose a lighter racket.

The weight of the racket used by women is between 270 and 280 grams, and that of men is between 300 and 315 grams, which is usually more suitable.

For badminton rackets or tennis rackets, the net wire should not be adjusted too tightly, so it is better to hit the ball back without too much shock when hitting the ball.

03 control exercise time

Exercise is good, but you should control your time. Generally speaking, swing sports don’t need to be practiced every day, and once a day is the most beneficial to health, 3 to 5 days a week.

In terms of the length of time, the best time for each exercise is between 45 and 60 minutes.

Less than or exceeding the above-mentioned exercise frequency and time may have negative effects on health.

04 control the intensity of exercise

Middle-aged and elderly people tend to exercise more, and it is better to sweat a little when doing swing sports, so they should feel relaxed and comfortable after exercise.

For the elderly, it is advisable to stretch the body and mind by swinging. When playing, you should defend more and smash less, and don’t save the ball too actively to avoid injury.

More importantly, the main purpose of physical exercise is to benefit the body and mind. When middle-aged and elderly people play ball, they should not get angry or blindly increase the intensity of exercise for a moment.

Beijing News (Reporter Wang Shengnan) With the increasing recognition of domestic brands by young consumers, a number of cutting-edge domestic beauty brands, such as Perfect Diary and Hua Xizi, have sprung up in recent years, attracting unprecedented attention in both the consumer market and the capital market.

The cake of domestic beauty cosmetics is getting bigger and bigger, and the problems follow. Experts point out that the operation mode of low R&D and high marketing can never break the low-end positioning of domestic beauty brands. With the strength of international brands overweight after the recovery of China market, it is not easy for domestic beauty brands to go more steadily and further.

The market value of domestic beauty brands soared, and sales led the double eleven.

In the early morning of November 1st, the first wave of Tmall Double Eleven snapped up, and the domestic beauty brand Perfect Diary became the first Tmall makeup brand with a turnover of over 100 million yuan that night, surpassing international brands such as Armani and MAC. Last year’s Double Eleven, Perfect Diary won the first place in the makeup brand list and entered the top ten of the final beauty brand list; Hua Xizi, another domestic beauty brand, participated in the Double Eleven for the first time and achieved an opening turnover of over 100 million in one hour. In addition, established domestic products such as Nature Hall and Baique Ling, as well as Winona, a domestic brand that focuses on sensitive skin care, have also entered the top ten beauty brands list for two consecutive years.

Compared with the previous list of international brands, domestic beauty brands are rising rapidly in the past two years. From the epitome of the consumer market, we can see that domestic beauty brands are breaking the situation that international brands dominate the China market. According to the 2019 Insight Report on Domestic Beauty released by Tencent, in terms of market share, national cosmetics brands accounted for 56%; Judging from consumers’ willingness to buy, 42% of consumers are more willing to choose domestic beauty brands, and 90% of consumers said they would buy domestic beauty products again in the future.

Domestic beauty brands have sprung up everywhere, and the market value and share price of related listed companies, such as shanghai jahwa (parent company of herborist and Meijiajing), Polaiya and Yujiahui (parent company of Royal Nifang), have also risen. Polaiya was listed at the issue price of 15.34 yuan in 2017. As of November 2 this year, the closing price has risen to 175.46 yuan, with a market value of 34.9 billion yuan. This year, the share prices of shanghai jahwa and Yujiahui rose by 40% and 99% respectively; On October 30, Yunnan Betaini Biotechnology Group Co., Ltd., the parent company of Winona, a domestic beauty brand, announced that it had successfully held the meeting, just one step away from listing; On September 28th, Hyaluronic acid giant Aimeike successfully listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange; At the end of 2019, Huaxi Bio, which focuses on medical and beauty raw materials and functional skin care products, landed in the A-share market, and its share price rose by more than 80% this year.

Before the Double Eleven, the perfect diary of the head players of domestic beauty brands was even more popular. First, on October 19th, it was officially announced that actor Zhou Xun became the first global spokesperson of the brand, and then its parent company, Guangzhou Yixian E-commerce Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yixian E-commerce") announced that it would formally submit the US stock prospectus, and the perfect diary would become the first China beauty group to be listed in the US stock market. According to the prospectus of Yixian e-commerce, the total sales of Yixian e-commerce in 2019 was 3.5 billion yuan, an increase of 363.7% over 2018; In the first three quarters of 2020, the total sales of Yixian e-commerce was 3.8 billion yuan, an increase of 70.2% compared with 2.2 billion yuan in the same period of 2019.

Social e-commerce, national tide and fast iteration, promote domestic beauty corners to overtake.

From the consumer market to the capital market, the attention of domestic beauty brands has been greatly improved, and new marketing methods such as social e-commerce and live broadcast have undoubtedly played a vital role in the driving force for domestic beauty to overtake in corners. "Hua Xizi, who I learned in the live broadcast", "I grabbed the perfect diary and Li Jiaqi’s joint puppy tray" and "Little Red Book blogger planted grass" are common in the evaluation of this batch of domestic beauty explosions. The data of Perfect Diary also shows that as of September 30, 2020, it has cooperated with nearly 15,000 KOLs.

Hou Cong, a health and beauty consultant and life aesthetician, told the Beijing News reporter that with the sales model of "live broadcast+＋KOL with goods" being recognized by consumers in the past two years, the spread of fast messages such as short videos, live broadcasts and new media has brought opportunities to the development of domestic beauty brands. Intensive marketing and word-of-mouth building by stars or beauty bloggers has become a common marketing method, and this new marketing method has seized the current main consumer-young people.

According to the consumption trend of China cosmetics industry in 2019 released by CBNData, post-90s and post-90s have gradually become the main consumers of online cosmetics, contributing nearly 50% of the sales, among which post-90s are the people with the highest online consumption power. Some insiders pointed out that the current consumer structure is getting younger and younger, and young people prefer to shop through social e-commerce, no longer limited to international brands, willing to try new things and pay more attention to cost performance.

At the same time, the promotion of the national style craze has also made domestic beauty brands popular, such as the previously popular Forbidden City lipstick and Huaxizi national style concept products, while the old beauty brands herborist and Baiqueling have played sentimental cards, and the nostalgic marketing of old domestic products has become "popular" among young people. In addition, Hou Cong pointed out that affected by the epidemic, consumers are more cautious and rational, and will consider cost-effective domestic beauty brands in the choice of skin care products. Compared with international brands, domestic brands have a better understanding of China consumers, are more flexible in responding to demand, and have a faster response speed and development cycle, which is the problem that international beauty brands face when they enter the China market.

The high marketing expenses hinder profitability.

"Recently, Hua Xizi’s advertisement was circulated in the elevator every day", "I saw the advertisement of Perfect Diary in the elevator, and actually found Zhou Xun to endorse it" … On the eve of the Double Eleven, Hua Xizi and Perfect Diary, domestic beauty brands that rely on online channels to grow day by day, chose Baping elevator to seize the consumer market through offline media. At the same time, it is still accelerating the layout of offline stores. By the end of September this year, Yixian E-commerce has opened more than 200 offline experience stores in more than 90 cities in China.

As for the reasons for developing offline channels, Hou Cong pointed out that, on the one hand, domestic beauty brands need to continue to explore potential offline customers, expand brand awareness, and conform to the traditional consciousness of "a monk can’t run away from a temple" in the China consumer market. For first-and second-tier cities, offline channels have the function of "brushing the sense of existence" and "shooting the face", while for consumers in sinking cities, what is real and within sight is still their important consideration.

On the other hand, relying on online channels is not a long-term solution. Although online marketing has brought high sales, the cost is also huge. For example, the annual report of Polaiya, which occupies a place in the recommendation list of beauty bloggers, shows that in 2019, the annual net profit of Polaiya was 393 million yuan, but the sales expenses reached 1.223 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 38.03%, of which the image promotion expenses were 839 million yuan. The high sales expenses contributed to the performance growth, but did not change the profitability. In 2019, the net interest rate of Polaiya decreased from 12.14% in 2018 to 11.73%, and the gross profit rate also decreased slightly from 64.03% to 63.96%. At the same time, the insiders also pointed out that the current way of marketing to create explosions is limited to the overall improvement of the brand, and users have not generated high loyalty to the brand. Continuing to create explosions means long-term high sales expenses.

R&D costs are low, and it is difficult to break the dilemma of low-end positioning.

In contrast to the high sales expenses, there are unmatched R&D expenses. In 2019, the sales expenses of Polaiya reached 1.223 billion yuan, and the research and development expenses were 74.6026 million yuan, and in 2018 it was 51.2918 million yuan. After large-scale marketing, the quality and reputation of domestic beauty cosmetics are not satisfactory. In the comments on Hua Xizi’s explosive powder, there are many comments such as "it’s not as good as shaking audio and video", "the packaging is really beautiful, but it’s really difficult to use" and "the advertising is too boastful".

Hou Cong pointed out that at present, the positioning of domestic beauty brands is still dominated by the low-end and middle-end, and the operating mode of low gross profit and high marketing has aggravated the financial burden of brands. At the same time, low-cost means can easily make brands reach the profit bottleneck ahead of time, which can only be used as one of the chips to enhance competitiveness, not a long-term solution. Nowadays, consumers’ loyalty to brands and commodities is not as good as before, so it is the key to seize consumers through product innovation and technical iteration, which is why many cosmetic products with indicators will be updated on the original basis every few years. The rapid development cycle and reaction speed of domestic beauty cosmetics meet the needs of consumers faster, but the quality system and related technologies are still not perfect, which can’t keep up with the development speed, and the quality and safety that follows will also become a problem.

Compared with international brands, Hou Cong said that in addition to the low-end positioning of domestic beauty products, some brands still have a "three-minute fever" operation mode, which is difficult to adhere to product research and development, technological innovation and consumer service, and the technology and high professionalism are still not as good as international brands. In addition, the enthusiasm of domestic beauty brands for independent research and development is also being hit by endless imitations. Insiders pointed out that after a domestic beauty product became popular, some brands that wanted to rub traffic would copy the original, launch their own products, and dilute the original traffic and sales. Over time, it weakened the enthusiasm of domestic beauty brands for independent research and development.

From skin care, make-up to medical beauty, China’s beauty market has great potential. According to the report released by data analysis agency GlobalData in June this year, the beauty market in China is expected to grow from 39 billion yuan in 2019 to 59.5 billion yuan in 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.8%. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the China market is the first to recover. Although domestic beauty brands occupy the home advantage, international brands are also overweight, which is bound to carve up the existing market. How to go far and stabilize after the rise, there are still many problems that domestic beauty brands need to ponder.

Arsenal lost away to Nottingham Forest, allowing Manchester City to win the championship three times ahead of schedule without bloodshed, becoming the second team in the history of Premier League to win three consecutive championships, and the real goal of Blue Moon is to attack the first Champions League trophy and triple crown in the history of the team!

Defend in front of the TV

After defeating Everton, Manchester City, which played 35 games, led the standings with 85 points, four points more than Arsenal, which ranked second and played one more game. After losing to Nottingham Forest, Arsenal only scored 84 points this season, which allowed Manchester City to celebrate the championship in advance. After beating Real Madrid to advance to the Champions League final, Manchester City players celebrated the championship in front of the TV this time.

In the history of Premier League, only Manchester United has won three consecutive championships twice before, from 1998-99 to 2000-01 and from 2006-07 to 2008-09 respectively. Since winning the championship for the first time in 2011-12, Manchester City has won two consecutive championships in 2017-18 and 2018-19, but was upstaged by Liverpool in 2019-20.

Like the 2018-19 season, Manchester City has been behind for a long time in the championship battle this season, falling behind by seven points at most, but finally won the championship by one point after defeating Liverpool 2-1 in the life-and-death battle, and won the Premier League, the League Cup and the FA Cup.

This time, Manchester City fell behind even longer, reaching 247 days, and Arsenal once led by 8 points. At the crucial moment, Manchester City took the lead after defeating Arsenal in the "final". After beating Fulham in the 34th round, Manchester City topped the standings for the first time after 73 days. In the final stage of the sprint, Arsenal were unbeaten in four games and only won in eight games, while Manchester City won 11 consecutive victories.

Dominance overtook Manchester United

After winning the championship five times in six years, Manchester City has won the Premier League championship seven times, second only to Manchester United, which won the championship 13 times, and the Red Devils have never won the championship since the 2012-13 season. In other words, in the past 10 years, Manchester City has won the championship five times, while Manchester United has never won the championship.

In fact, Manchester City has replaced Manchester United’s dominant position in the Premier League. From 1995-96 to 2000-01, Manchester United also won the championship five times in six years. Of course, Manchester United also won the championship eight times in the eleven years from 1992-93 to 2002-03.

However, in terms of results, Manchester City is even better. In these six seasons, the lowest score of Manchester City was 81 points in the 2019-20 season. This season, it has already scored 85 points with three rounds left. In the previous four seasons, Manchester City scored 100 points, 98 points, 86 points and 93 points respectively.

When Manchester United won the championship five times in six seasons, the highest score was 91 points in 1999-00, and the other four seasons were 82 points, 75 points, 79 points and 80 points respectively, far lower than Manchester City.

Hit the triple crown

Before the game against Chelsea, Guardiola said, "The Premier League is the most important event because the game lasts for 10 to 11 months." After winning the Premier League three times in a row, Manchester City has achieved one of the goals of this season, but their more important goal is yet to come.

After reaching the FA Cup and Champions League finals, Manchester City’s real goal is to become the eighth team in history and the second team in the Premier League to win the Triple Crown. Although it has never won the Champions League, Manchester City is the favourite to win whether it faces Manchester United in the FA Cup or Inter Milan in the Champions League.

If he can lead Manchester City to win the Triple Crown, Guardiola will become the first coach in history to lead two different teams to win the Triple Crown, thus entering the ranks of the best coaches in history.

As when he coached Barcelona, Guardiola also created a very controlling team when he coached Manchester City. Fans are still fresh in the memory of Ferguson’s shaking hands in the Champions League final, and after losing to Manchester City 0-4, Ancelotti couldn’t put his hands in the post-match press conference, which is enough to show the strength and deterrence of this Manchester City.

In fact, the media has been discussing whether Manchester City is one of the best teams in history. Chelsea coach Lampard pointed out, "I don’t know if Manchester City is the best team in history, but they are obviously an excellent team. Everyone praises their continuity. From this perspective, they are close to becoming the greatest team. I think they are the best team in the world at present. "
