This is the "Guide to the Core Literature of Social Media Research"

001 articles

Starting today, we hope to do an interesting and important thing: to sort out the core literature of social media research and try to draw an academic map for this field.

Today, the 001st paper of this project is pushed, and it is also the most cited paper in social media research: Social Website: Definition, History and Academic Map.

Boyd, D.M., & Ellison, N.B. (2007). Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship. Journal of Computer ‐ Mediated Communication, 13 (1), 210-230. (Cited: 18601)

The question we want to answer is:

★ In this paper, how do Boyd and Ellision define social networking sites?

★ What does this definition inspire the research of social networking sites?

★ What amendments have been made to this definition in the follow-up study?

Of course, in addition to reading, if you are interested in this plan and want to "blend in" together, please read the project plan at the end of the push and contact us.

In the history of social networking sites, 2007 is worth remembering. At the end of this year, Read/WriteWeb, a well-known Internet technology review blog, decided to award the IT company of the year award to Facebook, not Google. The reason is that Facebook broke the closed system of traditional social networking sites and allowed users to obtain plug-ins from third-party companies in the site. In other words, since then, Facebook has raised its "connection" potential to a new level and become an open co-writing space.

In 2007, beyond the commercial horizon, social networking sites, as academic research objects, also ushered in its landmark works, and the key word was still "connection". If we look back in 2007, a lot of academic research on social networking sites has been accumulated in the field of humanities and social sciences, but the dialogue between them is still incomplete and needs to be integrated urgently. Therefore, the Journal of Computer Aided Communication (JCMC) published a special issue on social networking sites in 2007, and invited two scholars, danah boyd and Nicole Ellison, to write an opening article. In this opening article, two scholars discussed the definition, history and academic map of social networking sites. Among them, their definition of social networking sites has been widely cited by subsequent studies and has become a classic work in the field of social networking sites.

Here we need to briefly explain from three levels why "definition" is important for social networking sites. First, the definition represents the boundary of research. Tampering with raymond carver’s words means what we are talking about when we are talking about social networking sites. Second, the definition focuses on the research field of vision. In our definition, we distinguish social networking sites from other types of websites, and the difference is likely to be the focus of follow-up research. Third, the evolution of definition also reflects the changes of technology. Social networking sites are essentially evolving with technological updates. In the following, we will focus on the definition of social networking sites in this paper and the revision of this definition in subsequent research.

In boyd and Ellison’s review, as of 2007, social networking sites have experienced three stages of development. Sixdegree.com, established in 1997, is regarded as the starting point of social networking site. However, perhaps because it was too ahead of the times, the site announced that it would stop operating in 2001. 2003 witnessed the second stage of the development of social networking sites. Many social networking sites have mushroomed and gradually become mainstream. One of the representative websites is MySpace, which we are familiar with. Then, in the third stage, the appearance of Facebook expanded the influence of social networking sites to a global scale. So, can we sort out a common clue for these different social networking sites? What are the similarities between them, which can be summarized under the same noun?

In this paper, the two authors define social networking sites as follows:

"We define social networking sites as an Internet-based service. It allows individuals (1) to establish a public or semi-public personal homepage in a closed system; (2) establish a connection with other users and present a list of contacts on the personal homepage; And (3) viewing and shuttling through the list of connections established by oneself and others in the system. The nature and naming of these links may vary from website to website. "

Next, we will briefly interpret these three characteristics:

1. Home page

The first keyword in the definition of social networking sites is the home page. Personal homepage is the pillar of social media and the basic unit and node of social networking sites, which is one of the most important differences between social networking sites, instant messaging tools and BBS. According to boyd and Ellison, the magic of personal homepage is that it allows users to "type themselves into being". For example, users need to fill in a series of questions on their personal homepage, such as head portrait, age, residence, interests, and a series of "about me" information. This process is self-sketching. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the research on self-construction and impression management in social networking sites has been launched since the 1990s and has become one of the core concepts of the research.

Step 2 connect

The second keyword in the definition of social networking sites is connection. The author thinks that the uniqueness of social networking sites is not that they allow individuals to meet strangers, but that they allow users to show their social networks. This is another important difference between social networking sites and instant messaging tools. What excites researchers is that this relationship has different names in different social media-Weibo calls it "fans", Twitter calls it "followers" and Facebook calls it "friends". So, what is the relationship between people in social networking sites? More interestingly, when social networking sites use the title "friend", how will the meaning of the word "friend" change quietly?

Step 3 shuttle

The third keyword in the definition of social networking sites is traverse. This word has at least two dimensions. First, people can shuttle through their friends lists and check their friends’ messages at any time, so they can establish their own relationship network; Secondly, people can often check who their friends have. Recall that when Sixdegree.com used the metaphor of "six dimensions" in naming, he actually expressed the value of the second layer of shuttle. Similarly, one of the visions of Tinder, a dating software, is to firmly believe that people with common friends are more likely to become friends. If we continue along this line of thought, we will surely meet Caroline Haythornthwaite’s classic research on "latent ties" in 2005. Of course, from another perspective, when you are shuttling with other people’s homepages, you are also being shuttled by others. This also explains why privacy and visibility will become an important clue in the research of social networking sites.

Since its publication, the paper I introduced to you has been cited by tens of thousands of follow-up studies, most of which focus on its definition of social networking sites. However, if we stand in today’s coordinates and look back at this definition more than ten years ago, we may feel some old traces of the times. With the evolution of technology, have these three keywords changed? After all, definition can only be responsible for defining "being", but not for predicting "becoming".

In 2013, boyd and Ellison joined forces again to update the three characteristics of this definition, which are briefly described as follows for your reference:

(1) The importance of personal homepage has been greatly reduced, and social networking sites have changed from homepage-oriented socialization to behavior-oriented socialization. Even if the homepage still exists, it is no longer a static self-description, but a dynamic combination of different types of status updates.

(2) Friend list no longer only describes the circle of friends of users, but more importantly, it shows a social graph of users through algorithms.

(3) Social networking sites provide more possibilities for shuttle. Users used to only use social networking sites to establish and maintain their own relationship circle, so shuttle is closed in nature. With the continuous introduction of new functions, this closeness has been constantly broken. For example, hashtags allow people to jump out of their circle of friends and meet strangers at a more public level.

Accordingly, boyd and Ellison also gave a new definition of social networking site:

Social networking site is a networked communication platform, in which participants (1) have a unique and identifiable personal homepage, which includes the content provided by users themselves, the content provided by other users, and the data content at the system level (2) can publicly display their social relationships and be browsed and shuttled by others (3) can consume, produce and/or interact with the content stream provided by contacts in the site.

This change in technology and culture can also be reflected in the purport of researchers, such as algorithms and privacy, tag community and other research topics have gradually emerged and highlighted. Of course, even if the definitions provided by boyd and Ellison are updated, it has been seven years since this article was written. What changes have taken place in the characteristics of social networking sites? What surprises can these changes provide for our research and thinking?

From this point of view, American scholar Jeff Pooley is right, and communication research is destined to be a humble undertaking, because the continuous updating and iteration of technology will make us push a stone up the mountain like Sisyphus in Greek mythology, and then see it roll back again and again until forever.

Note: It should be noted that the two authors used "Social Network Site" instead of Social Media. If we make a diachronic analysis of the researcher’s choice of "wording", we will find the characteristics of the times. Between 2003 and 2008, the word "social networking site" was used twice as much as "social media" in research papers. However, from 2009 to 2014, this relationship was reversed, and social media has largely replaced the term "social networking site". Social media is the result of the continuous expansion of technology developers. Compared with social networking sites, it has a wider extension, or social networking sites have now condescended to become a subset of social media. See McCay-Peet & Quan-Haase, 2017.

Electronic toll collection system will be networked nationwide in 2015.

Wang Tai, deputy director of the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport, revealed at the promotion meeting of the national electronic toll collection (ETC) networking work held on the 9 th that before the end of this year, 14 provinces and cities such as Beijing will realize system networking operation; By the end of 2015, all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China will basically realize the system networking operation.

"One to five", the economic and environmental benefits of electronic non-stop toll lanes are outstanding.

ETC system, also known as electronic toll collection system, is the most advanced road and bridge toll collection method in the world, and it is an effective way to solve the congestion of highway toll stations and improve traffic efficiency. The capacity of one electronic toll lane is equivalent to that of five manual toll lanes, and the average time for vehicles to pass through the toll booth has been reduced from 14 seconds to 3 seconds, which has shortened the time by nearly 80%. Through this technology, it can also save fuel consumption and reduce pollutant emissions.

In addition, through the implementation of regional networking, it also provides a guarantee for the rapid passage of expressways for regional integration. Since the electronic toll collection system was opened in 2010, the average annual growth rate of the transaction volume of the inter-provincial electronic toll collection system in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has remained at around 60%, and the average annual growth rate in the Yangtze River Delta region is close to 90%.

After the exploration in recent years, the scale of the construction, popularization and application of electronic toll collection system in China has increased rapidly. Up to now, more than 7,100 dedicated lanes have been built nationwide, with more than 11 million development users.

Next year, the number of users will reach 20 million, and the main toll station will achieve full coverage.

However, the system promotion also faces many difficulties. Including the need to install electronic tags and purchase stored-value cards before using special lanes, the need to recharge at special points or banks, the slow progress of inter-provincial settlement, the implementation of superimposed charges for some routes and the imbalance of input-output ratio, which led to the lack of enthusiasm of investors.

In this regard, Feng Zhenglin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Transport, introduced that the Ministry of Transport requested to build a national online clearing and settlement platform and formulate networking operation rules to jointly ensure that the national online clearing and settlement is fair, transparent, safe and efficient.

According to the plan, the nationwide networking work will be divided into two steps: before the end of 2014, 14 provinces and cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and Shanxi will be networked. By the end of 2015, a nationwide networked operation management mechanism will be established; The utilization rate of passenger cars is not less than 25%, and the utilization rate of non-cash payment reaches 20%; The system coverage rate of the main toll station reaches 100%; Customer service outlets cover county (district) level administrative regions; The number of users in the national system has reached 20 million; Realize the nationwide networking operation of military vehicles and armed police vehicles.

In addition, by the end of 2015, China will initially establish a national toll road networking data service system. By then, road network management departments at all levels will be able to deeply explore the potential value of vehicle operation information, strengthen statistical analysis of data, and provide decision support for road network operation management and government industry supervision.

Nine-valent cervical cancer vaccine is coming! These problems should be clarified before vaccination.

  Beijing, May 9 (Reporter Zhang Ni) Recently, the nine-valent cervical cancer vaccine (HPV vaccine) was approved for listing in China, bringing good news to many women. HPV vaccine is the first vaccine in the world to include cancer as an indication. However, for many domestic people, this vaccine is still new, and the popularity of related knowledge is still limited.

  How to vaccinate? How to choose the vaccine type that suits you? What preparations need to be made before vaccination? A few days ago, the reporter from Zhongxin. com interviewed Zhao Yun, deputy chief physician of gynecology department of Peking University People’s Hospital, on a series of issues of public concern.

  — — What is the relationship between HPV virus and cervical cancer?

  HPV is the abbreviation of the English name of "human papillomavirus". There are many members in the HPV family, and a few of them are closely related to malignant tumors, so they are called high-risk HPV. From the statistics of large population samples, 99% of cervical cancer is caused by infection with this kind of virus.

  The main route of transmission of HPV virus is through sexual contact, and mucosal contact can also be transmitted.

  When there is no sexual exposure, the probability of this virus infection is almost zero, but the probability of HPV infection in women who have sex is very high. About 70% to 80% of women may have been infected with this virus, especially when they are sexually active (usually before the age of 30), which is the peak of infection.

  However, many infections are transient infections. With the increase of age, these viruses will be cleared away, and only a small number (10-15%) are in a state of persistent infection, which is the high-risk group of cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer.

  — — What is the difference between bivalent, tetravalent and nonavalent vaccines?

  At present, there are three kinds of HPV vaccines listed in the world: bivalent, tetravalent and nonavalent.

  A bivalent vaccine can prevent infections caused by HPV16 and HPV18 viruses. International research data show that more than 70% of cervical cancer is caused by these two viruses.

  The tetravalent vaccine can prevent the infection of HPV6, 11, 16 and 18 viruses. Although HPV6 and HPV11 are not high-risk HPV viruses of cervical cancer, they can cause condyloma of lower genital tract.

  Nine-valent vaccine is aimed at nine subtypes of HPV6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58. Studies show that nine-valent vaccine can prevent 90% of cervical cancer.

  It should be pointed out that HPV vaccine can not prevent cervical cancer 100%, even after vaccination, cervical cancer screening should be carried out regularly.

  — — What is the difference between the three vaccination ages?

  In terms of vaccination age, the approved vaccination age in China is: bivalent vaccine is suitable for women aged 9-25, tetravalent vaccine is suitable for women aged 20-45, and ninevalent vaccine is suitable for women aged 16-26.

  The division of age groups is determined based on the results of clinical experiments of different age groups in China. HPV vaccine is a preventive vaccine. At present, no results show that it has the effect of preventing diseases for people who have been infected with HPV virus contained in the vaccine. Therefore, population vaccination before sexual exposure has the best health economic effect.

  In the position paper updated by WHO in May 2017, it is suggested that women aged 9-14 who have not had sex should be the main target population, and women over the age of 15 should be the secondary target population.

  — — Is the applicable age of nine-valent vaccine in Hong Kong 9-45 years old?

  The instructions for the nine-valent vaccine in Hong Kong are applicable to 9-45 years old. However, there is no clinical data on the effectiveness of using HPV nine-valent vaccine in people over 26 years old.

  Hong Kong’s approval of the application for the elderly is mainly based on the effectiveness of the tetravalent vaccine for the elderly population. The nine-valent vaccine and the tetravalent vaccine are immune-bridged, so the application range is 9-45 years old.

  — — Is it still useful to vaccinate married and fertile women?

  Some married and fertile women have not been infected by the virus, or have not been infected by the HPV subtype contained in the vaccine. At this time, vaccination is also effective.

  — — How many times does the vaccine need to be vaccinated?

  The bivalent, tetravalent and nonavalent vaccines all need to be injected in three times and completed within six months.

  Among them, bivalent vaccine is recommended to be inoculated in October, January and June, with a total of 3 doses. The second dose can be inoculated 1-2.5 months after the first dose, and the third dose can be completed 5-12 months after the first dose.

  Four-valent and nine-valent vaccines are recommended to be vaccinated in October, February and June, with a total of three doses. The interval between the first dose and the second dose should be at least one month, and the interval between the second dose and the third dose should be at least three months. All three doses should be completed within one year.

  — — Is it still necessary to vaccinate with nine valence after vaccination with four valence?

  At present, there is not enough evidence to prove that it will be more beneficial to vaccinate another series after completing one series of vaccines.

  From the clinician’s point of view, women who have been vaccinated with one of bivalent, tetravalent and nonavalent vaccines and completed all injections can prevent more than 70% of cervical cancer. Another HPV vaccine injection is not recommended.

  The instructions for the nine-valent vaccine mentioned that after the third dose of tetravalent HPV vaccine was inoculated, the nine-valent vaccine was injected at least 12 months apart.

  — — How long is the vaccine valid?

  Bivalent and tetravalent vaccines have been on the market for more than ten years. At present, the research data show that the antibody level of the vaccinated population is still at a high level, and there is no evidence that it is necessary to strengthen vaccination.

  The nine-valent vaccine was launched in 2014. Studies on people aged 9-15 and 16-26 showed that serum antibodies remained positive in the fifth year after vaccination. At present, there is no evidence of the need for intensive vaccination.

  — — What tests should I do before vaccination?

  No special examination is needed before vaccination. However, in my personal opinion, people who have been sexually exposed and have never been screened for cervical cancer before should be screened. The purpose of screening is to know whether they have cervical lesions.

  — — Which groups are not suitable for vaccination?

  People who are allergic to the active ingredients used in the vaccine or any dressing adjuvant should be prohibited from using it. People who have had hypersensitivity after injecting HPV vaccine should not be vaccinated again.

  In addition, women who are pregnant and pregnant are not recommended to be vaccinated now. Although a large number of practices that have been put on the market have proved that there is no data showing that the vaccine will affect the growth and development of embryos, pregnancy preparation and pregnancy are special periods, so it is not recommended for such people to be vaccinated immediately.

  — — What are the side effects of the vaccine?

  At present, the safety of the vaccine is still very good. Vaccination of this kind of vaccine is the same as other vaccines. The common systemic adverse reactions are mainly headache, fever, nausea and dizziness, and the local adverse reactions are mainly pain, swelling, erythema and itching.

  — — Can men be vaccinated?

  At present, all vaccines approved in China are used by women to prevent cervical cancer.

  In foreign countries, tetravalent vaccines approved by some countries can be used for male vaccination. Male vaccination can also prevent precancerous lesions of some reproductive organs, condyloma and so on.

  In addition, male vaccination is beneficial to the emergence of group immune effect, which reduces the overall infection rate of HPV virus in the population.

  — — What are the precautions for preventing cervical cancer?

  To prevent cervical cancer, in addition to vaccination, regular screening should be conducted, especially for women who have had sexual exposure.

  For healthy people under the age of 30, it is suggested that only cell screening should be carried out. If the screening result is negative, it can be checked again after 3 years. For healthy people over 30 years old, it is recommended to carry out cell screening and HPV virus examination. If the results are double negative, they can be examined again after 5 years.

  Early sexual exposure, many sexual partners, active sexual behavior and unclean sexual behavior are all high risk factors for cervical cancer, so condoms are recommended for safe sex. In addition, developing a healthy lifestyle is also beneficial to the prevention of diseases.

Opening of global bulk grain and oil industry summit to promote cooperation between Chinese and foreign grain and oil enterprises

  BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) On July 14, the 8th Global Bulk Grain and Oil Industry Summit kicked off in Chengdu, Sichuan. Major large-scale bulk grain and oil producers, processors, traders, industry associations, scientific research institutions and machinery and equipment manufacturers from many countries and regions around the world attended the meeting. The global bulk grain and oil industry summit was hosted by the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Food, Livestock and Animals.

FAW-Volkswagen’s new Magotan B9 real vehicle exposure adopts a new design and will be unveiled on April 25th.

Recently, a group of real car drawings of FAW-Volkswagen’s brand-new Magotan were exposed on the Internet, which is officially called the brand-new Magotan B9. It is reported that it will be officially unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show, which opened on April 25th.

From the appearance, the new Magotan B9 adopts a brand-new popular family design style. The front grille with narrow banners is connected with the headlights on both sides, which further widens the visual width of the front of the car. There is a penetrating chrome-plated decorative strip in the middle of the grille. The Volkswagen LOGO in the middle can be lit, and there is also a penetrating light belt on the side of the LOGO. In addition, the decorative strip and diversion groove at the lower part of the front of the car have to admit that the front face of the new Magotan B9 does have a sense of technology and sports. No small improvement.

For the car side, the new Magotan B9 has a body size of 4990 mm /1854 mm /1487 mm and a wheelbase of 2871 mm, which is still a very standard medium-sized car. The waistline from the front of the car to the rear of the car is matched with a brand-new two-color large-size wheel hub, which really ensures the sense of movement on its side. As for the rear of the car, the penetrating taillights are the biggest highlight, which enhances the layering and also ensures the fashion sense of the rear.

In terms of interior, the new Magotan B9 also adopts a typical Volkswagen brand design style, but it has improved its sense of technology. Its car is equipped with three screens, a full LCD instrument panel, a large-size central control screen and a co-pilot entertainment screen, which is also adopted for the first time on Magotan models. And in the aspect of multimedia system, it will also adopt the brand-new system of Volkswagen. In addition, there is another change: the new Magotan B9 is designed with a shield, which leaves more storage space in the center console.

In the power part, according to the previous application information, the new Magotan B9 will be equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The maximum power of the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine is 118 kW, and the maximum power of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is 162 kW.

Shocking! Early in the morning, the boy was hanging outside the balcony on the seventh floor…

June 18th at 6 am

Le’an Community, Shishan Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province

Driver Li Shifu

I looked up and saw this thrilling scene

The head of a two or three year old boy

It got stuck in the balcony protective net.

The situation is urgent!

Master Li did not hesitate to climb the stairs to rescue

Bind the body with water straps

It’s safe on six or seven floors.

Lift up a two or three-year-old boy

Ten minutes later

Successfully saved a young life

Thrilling! The little boy was stuck in the 7th floor protective net and his body was suspended in the air

According to Master Li’s recollection, at 6 am on the 18th, he rode his electric bike home from work. When he drove to the airport road section, he saw a woman constantly looking upstairs. He also followed his gaze and looked up. Suddenly, he found a young child with his neck stuck in the protective net on the 7th floor, his body hanging in the air!

"Because the street is a wholesale aquatic product market, it’s very noisy, and not many people noticed it. I saw that the child was so dangerous, and my mood came to my throat. I didn’t think much about it, I just wanted to rush into the community as soon as possible and save people!"

According to relevant media reports, the situation was very critical at that time, and passing vehicles tried to constantly honk to remind the parents of the children, but apparently no one at home answered.

At 6 a.m., a toddler in Foshan got his head stuck in a protective net

Seeing this situation, Master Li threw down the car and rushed upstairs without hesitation, and nearby residents joined the rescue operation.

At first, Master Li and several citizens found the little boy’s house, but the parents had both left home to go to work, and there was no answer when they knocked on the door. Immediately, they wanted to break down the door to rescue, but the three of them couldn’t open the door with all their strength. The situation is urgent.

The driver turned into "Spider-Man"

Hanging the little boy from the eighth floor

After discovering that it was impossible to break into the door, an old man shouted "Go upstairs and have a look", and Master Li and the others ran upstairs. The floor was uninhabited, and the balcony happened to not be equipped with anti-theft nets, so the neighbor quickly opened the door.

At this moment, Master Li was in a hurry and took out a water hose from the corridor fire hydrant to tie his body, and fellow citizens helped him hold one end. Master Li climbed down the balcony on the eighth floor and climbed to the top of the balcony on the sixth floor. After standing firm, he lifted the little boy up with his hands to help him get out of danger.

▲ The driver, Master Li, lifted the child with his hand and closed the window

At this moment, the little boy was obviously very tired because he had been struggling for a while. Master Li hurriedly lifted him up with his hands.

According to Master Li’s description, the toddler was only three or four years old and in a state of panic. After watching the little boy lie down and rest for a while, he helped the little boy climb back into the room and told him not to come out again. After closing the window, he left with confidence.

At this point, the danger was lifted, and the whole process took only ten minutes.

The community worker replied to the media on the 18th: "The child is fine, the parents have taken the child to the hospital to see, but the neck is scratched red."

Children’s safety awareness is relatively weak

Fall event

A lot has happened

Case Warning

01

On May 4, 2022, a 4-year-old boy fell from the roof of a self-built house in Hainan and died. The boy was alone at home at the time of the incident.

02

On June 16, 2022, a child in Liaoning stretched his body out of the balcony guardrail due to playfulness, causing his head to get stuck between the guardrails on the 6th floor and his entire body to hang in the air. Fortunately, he was rescued by nearby tower crane workers and was not seriously injured.

03

On April 7, an accidental fall from a building occurred in a community in Yilong County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province. An elderly man took his two-year-old child to the 19th floor to see the decoration of the new house that afternoon. Since the original railing of the balcony of the new house was removed at that time, the windows had not been sealed, and there were no other protective measures, the child accidentally fell from the balcony while playing.

Ah Xiao Tips

Child safety education cannot be ignored

Parents should be on high alert

Don’t let tragedy happen

Causes of children falling from height

Three major reasons for children falling from height

01

Children’s own reasons

(1) Children of different ages have different levels of growth, development, and cognition.

Children between the ages of 1 and 3 have weaker motor and balance abilities, and are more susceptible to falls and falls from stairs, steps, walkers, or furniture.

Children aged 5 to 9 have been able to move independently from adult care, but their cognitive abilities are not yet perfect, their ability to control their own behavior is limited, and they have a strong curiosity and desire to explore.

(2) Children living in high-rise apartments, because they often look down from the heights, gradually get used to the scenery from the heights, and usually do not feel fear. Due to the lack of clear awareness of heights, these children are more susceptible to "height-loving disorder".

02

neglect

The guardian’s lack of awareness or attention to children’s care has led to the occurrence of falling events.

03

Environmental factors

The common bay windows, flat windows, and floor-to-ceiling windows in high-rise users’ residences, rooftops, balconies, or stairs without protective facilities, and unsafe gaming venues can all lead to falls.

Parents in their daily lives

We must strengthen safety education for children

Warn them not to play in dangerous heights

It starts with improving the environment.

Take preventive measures

Create a safe living space for children

Beware of falling accidents

How can we prevent children from falling from heights?

Let’s take a look.

Nongfu Spring in the public opinion storm: the stock price fell for a time, saying it was a normal adjustment of capital markets

Recently, after the death of Zong Qinghou, the founder of Wahaha Group, due to illness, a topic surrounding the old dispute between Nongfu Spring and Wahaha quickly fermented on the Internet. Nongfu Spring and its founder Zhong Shanshan later responded to the rumors, but the doubts did not completely subside. Nongfu Spring’s share price fell for three consecutive days.

On March 6, the staff of Nongfu Spring Investor Hotline told reporters in Nandu that stock price fluctuations belong to the normal adjustment of capital markets. For online public opinion, I believe that rational consumers can judge right and wrong by themselves. What the company can do is to do a good job in performance.

Nandu reporter learned that in June 2021, Nongfu Spring was also involved in the controversy of "adding dawn peach imported from Fukushima, Japan" to the beverage. In response, Nongfu Spring responded that the R & D personnel created products similar to the flavor of dawn peach, which is not related to the origin of dawn peach.

The founder of Nongfu Spring has issued a document that has attracted heated discussion

After the death of Zong Qinghou, the founder of Wahaha Group, on February 25, while people mourned Zong Qinghou, the old dispute between Wahaha and Nongfu Spring, the two beverage giants, was also hotly discussed. News such as "Zhong Shanyi used to be a dealer under Zong Qinghou but was fired for smuggling goods" was hotly discussed on the Internet.

All kinds of remarks have pushed Zhong and Nongfu Spring to the forefront of the trend. On March 3, the WeChat official account of Nongfu Spring posted an article titled "Zhong: I have three things with Zong Lao Er".

Mr. Zhong was the first to clarify that his first pot of gold did not come from Wahaha, but from the cloth business. He also said that the original idea for the well-known Wahaha nutritious eight-treasure porridge product was proposed to Zong Qinghou. In response to the controversy over when the distributor flushed the goods, Mr. Zhong said that "I have never received a salary in Wahaha, let alone been fired for flushing the goods." The two sides sued each other over the dispute between natural water and purified water, but eventually shook hands with Zong Qinghou and made peace. "The respect for Zong Lao’s entrepreneurial spirit has never wavered."

However, this response did not completely calm public opinion. Nongfu Spring’s share price fell for three consecutive days. Since the incident fermented, as of the close of March 6, Nongfu Spring’s share price has fallen by nearly 5%, and its market value has fallen from 499.30 billion Hong Kong dollars to 474.60 billion Hong Kong dollars. The market value has shrunk by 24.70 billion Hong Kong dollars (about 22.70 billion yuan).

In response to the incident, on the 6th, the staff of Nongfu Spring Investor Hotline told Nandu reporters that stock price fluctuations belong to the normal adjustment of capital markets, and the company cannot control them. For online public opinion, consumers who believe in rationality can judge right and wrong by themselves. What the company can do is to do a good job in performance and thank investors for their concern. The founder has previously issued a response, and it is not clear whether the follow-up company will make a statement and response.

The product has been involved in the dispute over the "origin of raw materials"

Nandu reporters noticed that in the context of this public opinion, in the past few days, many consumers have flocked to Wahaha’s official live stream to place orders. On the 6th, Wahaha customer service staff told Nandu reporters that the company’s supply is normal and has not received any notice of delivery delays yet.

According to public information, Hangzhou Wahaha Group Co., Ltd. was founded in 1987. Under the leadership of founder Zong Qinghou, the cumulative sales for 35 years were 860.10 billion yuan. The scale and efficiency of the enterprise have been in the leading position in the industry for 20 consecutive years, ranking among the top 500 Chinese enterprises, the top 500 Chinese manufacturing enterprises, and the top 500 Chinese private enterprises.

Nongfu Spring joint stock company was established in 1996 and is one of the top 20 beverages in China. According to the information on the official website, Nongfu Spring ranked among the top three in the Chinese market in terms of retail sales in 2019 in terms of tea beverages, functional beverages and fruit juice beverages.

In 2000, Nongfu Spring announced that it would no longer produce purified water and instead produce all natural water. The dispute between natural water and purified water that year was noisy.

Nandu reporters learned that in June 2021, Nongfu Spring was also embroiled in a controversy over "adding white peaches imported from Fukushima, Japan" to drinks.

720x1280_65e8451edafe3
Nongfu Spring claims in the promotional copy that "white peaches are produced in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan".

At that time, Nongfu Spring launched a Dawn white peach-flavored soda sparkling water, claiming in the promotional copy that "Dawn white peach is produced in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan", which aroused doubts from netizens. In response, Nongfu Spring’s official post responded that Nongfu Spring marked the product ingredients in the product label ingredient list in accordance with the requirements of the national food safety standards, and the ingredients of the product did not contain ingredients imported from Fukushima, Japan. The label of Nongfu Spring’s products complies with relevant laws and regulations, and there is no error or misleading. The researchers created products similar to the flavor of Dawn peach based on the unique flavor of Dawn peach, which has nothing to do with the origin of Dawn peach.
