Tulenov Ruslan， whose blood type is rhesus negative， which is metaphorically known as “panda blood” in China for its rarity， has donated more than 5，000 ml of blood since he fi rst came to China in 2009.
The volume of blood the 25-year-old student from Kazakhstan has donated so far equals the total amount of blood normally in his whole body.
President Xi Jinping praised Ruslan in a speech at Nazarbayev University during his visit to Kazakhstan in 2013. In this speech， Xi put forward the Silk Road Economic Belt， which， along with the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road， constitutes the widely watched Belt and Road Initiative.
Ruslan， who is interested in Chinese culture， went to Hainan University in China’s southern island province of Hainan in 2009 to study Chinese. He enrolled in the University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2016 for a master’s degree.
Keeping Time-Honored Brands Alive
Shijiazhuang Daily May 12
Time-honored brands such as Quanjude， the Beijing-originated chain restaurant renowned for its roast duck， face new challenges in order to attract young customers. However， this doesn’t mean they should give up their adherence to tradition.
Time-honored brands are companies or products that have inherited excellent Chinese cultural traditions. Endowed with distinctive regional characteristics， they embody unique techniques and business models， and have been in operation for a long period. They have won wide recognition for their sound reputation.
Such venerable brands with profound value have become name cards for their cities. The culture embedded in such brands is a breath of fresh air in the modern， commercial society. It is hard to imagine how shallow and boring a city would be without venerable brands.
Time-honored brands shoulder the responsibility of carrying on historical memories of the nation. Therefore， they should not betray their historical and cultural traditions in pursuit of commercial benefits. Preserving such brands contributes to the protection of traditional culture. Brands which seek to cater to young consumers in order to earn huge profits may fi nally destroy themselves.
On the other hand， venerable brands cannot avoid market competition and need to pursue innovation in order to survive. They need to strike a balance between innovation and adherence to tradition. The government should play a role of guidance in the process.
Rescuing a Lake Caixin Weekly May 8
All restaurants and hotels beside Erhai， the famous lake in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of southwest China’s Yunnan Province， were ordered to suspend their business by April 10 and undergo environmental inspections， according to a local authority notice issued on March 31.
This is only part of the local government’s series of forceful efforts aimed at protecting and saving Erhai’s environment.
In recent years， pollutants discharged into Erhai have far exceeded its self-cleaning capacity. There have been frequent massive outbursts of blue-green algae in the lake， particularly at the beginning of this year， which saw a marked deterioration of the lake’s water quality.
Both widespread use of fertilizers and pesticides in agricultural production around the upper reaches of the lake and the discharge of wastewater have contributed to polluting the lake. Booming local tourism has led to the production of a huge amount of waste， putting great pressure on the lake. In 2016， Dali received nearly 40 million tourists， four times the number 10 years ago. Lack of water treatment facilities and a low wastewater treatment rate have further exacerbated the problem.
Dali will take seven measures to protect Erhai such as treating wastewater and garbage from surrounding villages and reducing wastewater discharges from agricultural production into Erhai.
For instance， farmers will be required to rent out their farmlands to realize large-scale， effi cient and ecologically friendly agriculture. Moreover， public-private partnerships will be introduced in large projects， such as construction of wastewater treatment facilities， to solve the funding diffi culties for pollution treatment.
Chinese Labels Indispensable for Imported Food
Legal Daily May 16
A man surnamed Li who bought 25 bottles of imported Japanese rice wine from a company in China found that the bottles had no Chinese labels. Li took the company to court， suing it for 10 times the price of the wine as compensation. The Haidian District People’s Court in Beijing recently ruled in Li’s favor.
According to the Food Safety Law， imported prepackaged food and food additives should have Chinese labels， and some should have Chinese instructions. Prepackaged food which doesn’t have Chinese labels or instructions， or whose labels and instructions don’t meet legal requirements， should not be imported.
However， in reality， food importers often fail to ensure the products they trade carry Chinese labels. Consumers can only guess the production and expiration dates and so cannot be sure about the food’s safety. The situation has resulted in fake and shoddy products coming onto the market. Some consumers are so ignorant as to believe that only foods without Chinese labels are authentic imports. Importing food without affi xing Chinese labels appears to be a way to defraud consumers. It harms consumers’ rights and may lead to health and safety problems. For instance， consumers who are allergic to certain ingredients may buy the wrong food.
Consumers should improve their awareness of their rights. They should keep evidence of food imported without Chinese labels and fi le complaints in such cases. Relevant government departments should strengthen supervision in order to combat food smuggling.
