2022 is a year of mixed emotions. Maybe your life has experienced changes due to the epidemic; maybe in the days of working in 996, your efforts are always accompanied by anxiety and confusion.

When we look back on the past, we can't help but sigh - nothing was accomplished this year! In fact, it is possible that our memory has a coding bias. We always remember the unpleasant things that make you regretful, but ignore the positive things that happen in life.

If you don’t believe me, take a look at the small goals you set at the beginning of 2022. Review them and summarize them to see if they are the original plans. In fact, you are not that bad at completing them?

Before entering 2023, the New Weekly APP editorial department also did such a thing. Looking through the memories of this year, we found that some beautiful changes have happened.

Getting out of the epidemic

html At the end of the year, we finally reached the turning point of the epidemic.

html On December 7, the Comprehensive Team of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council issued the "Notice on Further Optimizing and Implementing the Prevention and Control Measures for the New Coronavirus Epidemic", which is the "New Ten Articles" for epidemic prevention.

Among them, nucleic acid testing , isolation methods, risk area division and other measures were all in the previous "twenty articles" (shortening the isolation control period of close contacts , adjusting risk areas into "high and low" categories, not according to administrative regions On the basis of conducting nucleic acid testing for all employees, etc.), further optimizations include "except for special places, no negative nucleic acid test certificate is required, and health codes are not checked" and "asymptomatic and mildly infected people who meet the conditions for home isolation are allowed to be isolated at home", etc. This means that universal nucleic acid testing is becoming a thing of the past.

In the "Twenty Articles" and the further optimized "New Ten Articles", many places have made adjustments to epidemic prevention and control measures, most of which focus on canceling nucleic acid certificates in public places, no longer compulsory centralized isolation, and canceling nucleic acid testing points in society. Among them, after more than a month of concerted efforts to prevent the epidemic, on the afternoon of November 30, Guangzhou Haizhu District officially announced the unblocking, and "Guangzhou fireworks are back" became a hot search on Weibo .

People’s reactions to the adjustment of epidemic prevention policies vary widely. Some people feel uncomfortable, while others are delighted. In any case, under the guidance of the "Twenty Points" and "Ten Points" that have come one after another, we have finally emerged from the epidemic.

Travel is coming soon.

Travel has become a luxury in these three years.

But this time, the hope of "traveling" became real. With the release of the "New Ten Measures" and the adjustment of epidemic prevention policies in various places, the tourism industry in various places has gradually recovered.

html In December, Sanya announced that "people coming (and returning) to Sanya from outside the province will no longer be subject to classified management." Within two hours, the search volume for Sanya inbound air tickets increased by 166% compared with the same period the previous day. One day after the news was released, the number of hotel room nights booked in Sanya increased by 595% month-on-month.

In the adjustment notices of many provinces and cities, the standards for entering scenic spots have also been relaxed. For example, Shandong Province announced that residents will no longer check health codes and nucleic acid negative certificates when entering public places such as parks, scenic spots, and service areas; Shenzhen, Shanghai and other places announced that they will no longer check negative nucleic acid test certificates when entering outdoor public places such as parks, scenic spots, etc. Recently, many scenic spots have announced the orderly restoration of and opening up to .

Travel is necessary, and some travel platforms have quietly recorded people's uncontrollable excitement after the gradual relaxation of restrictions in various places. Within two hours after the New Year's Day holiday arrangements were released on December 7, search volume for Ctrip air tickets and hotel products increased by 6 times and 7 times respectively compared with the same period of the previous day. In the following week, related travel searches reached 10 times that of the same period last year.

On December 13, the communication itinerary card applet also officially stopped serving, which means that people can truly embrace a free journey without worrying about the itinerary code changing color.

This year, we have made further progress in the protection of minors.

html On June 1st, the newly revised " Minors Protection Law " and " Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Law " completed their first anniversary. In response to issues of high social concern such as student bullying and campus sexual assault, the "Minor Protection Law" developed the original "four major protections" of family, school, society, and justice into "six major protections" and added "online protection" and "government protection."

The " School Protection Regulations for Minors " will be implemented from September 1, 2021. Each primary and secondary school must be equipped with at least one vice principal for law and order to participate in student protection committees, student bullying management and other organizations.

According to statistics from the Supreme People's Procuratorate, in 2021, the number of cases of school violence and bullying crimes prosecuted by procuratorial organs across the country dropped by 74.7% compared with the same period in 2018. For minor injuries that occur in "hidden corners", the new "Minor Protection Law" incorporates the previous mandatory reporting system that has worked well in practice. This means that some previous "private" incidents of harm to minors have been discovered. According to statistics from the procuratorate, "Since the establishment of the mandatory reporting 'every case must be investigated' mechanism, 2,854 cases of crimes against minors prosecuted by the procuratorate have clues from the compulsory report.

Last year, new anti-addiction regulations for minors "Notice on Further Strict Management to Effectively Prevent Minors from Being Addicted to Online Games" was promulgated, and progress was also made in preventing minors from being addicted to online games exhibition.

On November 22, the Game Working Committee of the China Music and Digital Association and other units jointly released the "2022 Progress Report on the Protection of Minors in China's Game Industry". Based on interviews with multiple families and statistical results from thousands of questionnaires, 75% of minors play games for less than 3 hours per week, and the problem of minors' addiction to games has been basically solved.

Protect "Young You" and let Each of us felt at ease.

Anti-Telecommunications Internet Fraud is in progress. /Jiangsu City

Anti-Internet Fraud has also made substantial progress.

In the era of mobile Internet and , we are almost living in an environment where information is flowing freely. Fraudulent text messages and phone calls emerge in an endless stream. Although law enforcement agencies continue to remind and dissuade, frauds still continue to occur.

On September 2, 2022, the "Anti-Telecommunications and Internet Fraud Law" reviewed and passed at the 36th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress, undoubtedly gave a more practical weapon in the fight against fraud.

In recent years, law enforcement and judicial agencies have been cracking down on electronic fraud and crimes, and relevant enterprises and functional departments have A lot of work has been done in prevention and governance. However, enforcement is not easy due to the lack of clear legal regulations for competent authorities and related enterprises. Moreover, telecommunications network fraud involves many fields such as finance, telecommunications, and the Internet, and requires the coordinated efforts of multiple departments.

On December 1, this law came into effect, providing a legal basis and a basis for collaboration between various departments to combat online telecommunications fraud.

This law clarifies the prerequisites for the activation and deactivation of bank cards and phone cards, and clearly prohibits the illegal manufacture, sale, provision or use of related equipment and software. Relevant departments have the right to decide not to allow people with a history of telecommunications network fraud and those who go to key areas or are suspected of major fraud in outbound activities.

High-speed rail starts selling sanitary napkins

Xiaohongshu users shared this good news.

This year, some "female-friendly" changes happened. What should a woman walking alone do when she suddenly notices her menstrual cramps on the high-speed train and does not have any sanitary napkins prepared? This is a problem that every woman may encounter, but few people bring it to the public space to discuss it.

On October 3, a netizen posted the sanitary napkin she bought on the high-speed rail that day. It was a D train bound for Xiamen . She said that she was on the high-speed train and her menstrual period suddenly came early. When she asked the flight attendant for help, she bought sanitary napkins, and the flight attendant said that they were on sale that day.The cause of

came from a month ago, when a woman who suddenly menstruated asked the flight attendant whether sanitary napkins were sold, and received a negative answer. She then suggested that high-speed trains that sell paper towels, snacks, and drinks should also sell daily necessities such as sanitary napkins. Unexpectedly, this matter became a hot search topic, triggering a debate on whether high-speed trains should sell sanitary napkins.

In this topic discussion, many women shared their experience of asking for help when they encountered embarrassment while traveling. This made people discover that the embarrassment of menstruation accompanies all aspects of women's lives. A civilized and developed society should have the obligation and ability to transform this private experience into broader and more powerful social support. For example, in some school bathrooms, there are "sanitary napkin mutual aid boxes" that provide free sanitary napkins.

's discussion of this matter has made the needs of "silent" women visible and also raised the level of the concept of the entire society.

HPV vaccine free vaccination

On July 14, 2022, the National Health Commission stated that it would summarize the experience and practices of various localities in using government livelihood projects and medical insurance funds to raise funds through multiple channels, encourage local governments to take the lead in trials, focus on promoting regions with mature conditions to take the lead in introducing free HPV vaccination policies, and continuously increase the HPV vaccination rate of school-age girls.

This means that the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (cervical cancer vaccine), which may not be available even if you wait in line for several months, can be vaccinated for free in many places across the country.

In fact, such a pilot program has been in full swing since 2020. Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, is the first city in the country to pilot HPV vaccination at public expense. On August 1, 2020, Zhungeer Banner launched the "Caring for Girls' Healthy Entry into Campus" to vaccinate nearly 10,000 girls aged 13-18 and nearly 50,000 school-age women with HPV vaccines for free. Starting from November 2021, Jiangsu Province, Shandong Province, Guangdong Province, etc. have also launched free vaccination campaigns for HPV for women of appropriate age.

Currently, 5 HPV vaccine products have been approved for registration in my country, including 3 imported HPV vaccines and 2 domestic HPV vaccines.

hopes that more and more women can get the HPV vaccine.

Young people

join the elderly care industry

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, a piece of data caught our attention - my country's elderly population aged 60 and above will exceed 300 million, and is expected to exceed 400 million by around 2035. Everyone gets older one day, which means it’s important to think about a more dignified older life. The good news is that many young people are joining the ranks.

Among them, some young people quit their jobs and became "bath assistants" for the elderly and disabled elderly people. For this group of elderly people, bathing seems like a common thing, but it is often difficult. How to keep clean is a matter of dignity for them. This year, the media reported that a young man named Yan Yang Junqi bathed hundreds of elderly people for more than a year. In addition, he also used live broadcasts to popularize knowledge about elderly care and call on more young people to join the elderly care industry.

In addition, many young people have returned to their hometowns to open nursing homes and organize left-behind elderly associations. For example, this year the media reported on an alternative nursing home founded by those born in the 1990s and 2000s in Ya'an, Sichuan. Inside, they had a lot of fun with their grandparents. They filmed fashion movies, performed karaoke, danced and grew vegetables. Later, many elderly people asked their children to come to this nursing home.

Young people are finding a new way to care for the elderly.

Thank you neighbor

"Help, who has extra ibuprofen ? I've had a fever for a day and can't buy medicine."

Shortly after this group message was sent, Xiao Yang received two ibuprofen packed in transparent sealed bags from his neighbor. She had never met the neighbor.

At the end of this year, with the changes in epidemic prevention policies, on the one hand, it is no longer necessary to buy anti-fever and cold medicines without a prescription. On the other hand, medicines have become in short supply, and it has even become difficult to find anti-fever medicines.

On the Internet and around us, we find that a spontaneous drug mutual aid action is taking place among neighbors and ordinary people. The community where Xiao Yang lives has never been so lively. People are generous in helping people in emergencies. Some people who have suffered from yang yang have sent medicine to their neighbors who are still suffering from yang yang, and some have cooked noodles and distributed them to their neighbors.

On the Internet, there are also many people asking for help with medicines, and after the news was released, there were always many people in the comments who generously offered to send medicines.

Under the new situation of epidemic prevention, the first hurdle before us is to face the new coronavirus. Personal protection, self-management, and scientific medication have become the most urgent things at the moment.

The warmth of people helping each other creates a potential energy and hope in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month.

This year, migrant workers also received some proud news.

html On June 6, the world's largest " four-day work system " trial kicked off in the UK. This pilot program was jointly organized by Oxford University , Cambridge University , Boston College in the United States, and think tanks. It lasted for six months, with more than 70 companies and more than 3,300 employees participating.

html In September, when the trial was more than halfway through, 34% of the respondents from the 41 companies participating in the survey believed that this system had slightly improved work efficiency, and 15% believed that work efficiency had been significantly improved. But the majority of people (46%) believe that the system has changed but work efficiency has not changed. As for whether the transition to a four-day workweek has been smooth, 98% of users said it was relatively smooth.

In fact, employers are also happy to accept this work system. They believe that there is no better way to improve work efficiency than having employees in a happy mood.

Today, the trial is over, with 100 UK companies announcing they have signed a permanent agreement to provide their staff with a four-day week without any reduction in pay. Although the "four-day work week" has not yet been promoted around the world, it has convinced us that only by living better can we work better.

Looking back on the past year, maybe you are as surprised as I am that there are so many good changes happening. In fact, these changes depend on the attention and efforts of each of us.

Maybe we are all just ordinary people, but the power of change is hidden in our actions.
