  Wang Zhenyi, 95, was acknowledged as the Best Doctor in China with a recent award by China Central Television for discovering a cure for Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL), which he chose to keep affordable by not applying for a patent.
  Wang, a pathophysiologist, hematologist and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering was the founder of the Department of Hematology at the Shanghai-based Ruijin Hospital. He and his team started to research a cure for APL in 1978.
  A significant breakthrough in 2000 of combining all-trans retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide to treat APL put the possibility of fi nding a cure for adult leukemia in reach. This led to the successful development of a new therapeutic approach to APL, which has helped save lives around the world.
  “I spent my whole life conquering one disease. It’s a pity that there are still many diseases awaiting cures. Patients need us and so does my country. Everyone should keep learning and serve the people. Love your country, but you also need to love your career,” Wang said.
  Internet Addiction
  Nanfang Daily March 14
  With people going online at a progressively younger age, teenagers are increasingly becoming addicted to the Internet. How to prevent minors from this addiction has become a common concern.
  The new generation of teens is often dubbed Internet babies. Many of them learned to surf the Web even before they learned to write. While the Internet has enriched their lives and brought unprecedented convenience, its fragmented and entertainment-oriented content has also weakened their ability to focus and acquire deep knowledge. Internet addiction has seriously harmed their mental as well as physical health.
  With their sense of values still immature, they can hardly discern and withstand temptations. Therefore, the government, enterprises, families and schools should work together to guide them.
  According to a report by the China Youth and Children Research Center in February, teenagers prone to Internet addiction often have problematic relations with their parents. Parents should reflect on this instead of blaming Internet companies.
  Schools should teach students how to prevent getting hooked on the Internet while Internet companies should exercise their responsibility, for instance, by limiting the time children can play online games.
  Private Economy Protection
  Oriental Outlook March 21
  The private economy, an important driver of economic growth, has been encountering some problems in recent years such as fi nancing diffi culties.   Governments at different levels are issuing supportive policies for private businesses. Zhejiang Province in east China is an example. The province boasts the most vibrant private economy in China and its three cities of Hangzhou, Wenzhou and Ningbo have the most advanced private economy in the country.
  Governments of the three cities have taken multiple measures to support the private economy by creating a favorable environment for private businesses. Hangzhou published three documents in November 2018 announcing measures to create a world-class business environment and promote high quality development of industrial platforms and the manufacturing industry. Wenzhou started a festival in December 2018 as a tribute to private entrepreneurs.
  The cities have also streamlined procedures for issuing business licenses and approving projects and are trying to help private enterprises solve their development problems. For instance, to help private businesses attract talent, Ningbo is working with higher learning institutions such as the Beijing-based Beihang University to build 10 research institutes. They will cultivate talent and provide intelligent support for private businesses.
  To address funding difficulties, Wenzhou’s banking sector has reduced loan restrictions for private businesses. The tolerance rate for small and micro enterprises’ bad loans has been set at 2 percentage points higher than that for average loans.
  Heritage Protection
  People’s Daily March 19
  The Palace Museum in Beijing will work with universities to build China’s fi rst artifact “medical school” to train cultural relic restorers, according to Song Jirong, Deputy Director of the museum and a member of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference National Committee.
  With the museum’s popularity rocketing, people have started paying attention to how artifacts are unearthed, repaired and put on display. Recently, H5, an interactive platform on WeChat, floated a game where artifacts unearthed from the Sanxingdui archaelogical site in southwest China’s Sichuan Province are repaired. Users can “repair” the items by simply tapping their mobile phone.
  The convergence of traditional media with new media has created more diversifi ed ways to present cultural treasures. For instance, during the 2017 World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, east China’s Zhejiang Province, a terracotta warrior from the tomb of China’s fi rst emperor Qin Shihuang (259-210 B.C.) in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province was replicated using 3D printing.   It has become increasingly common for museums to use new technologies such as animation, virtual reality and augmented reality to present cultural relics in a lively way. These exhibitions have sparked people’s interest in traditional culture and brought history and tradition closer to them.
  Museums are also using new media platforms such as their official websites, mobile phone applications and public accounts on social media to showcase their collections and spread knowledge of history and culture.
  FATHER OF NEW CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL
  Researchers in China, led by Xiu Faxian’s team, measured high conductivity in very thin layers of niobium arsenide called Weyl semimetal. The top journal Nature Materials published the latest thesis Ultrahigh Conductivity in Weyl Semimetal NbAs Nanobelts by the team from Fudan University on March 19.
  Xiu’s team has discovered that the nanobelts of Weyl semimetal NbAs maintain a high mobility even in the presence of a high sheet carrier density.
  Conductive material is the basis of the electronics industry. Currently, the main material is copper which is widely used in transistor conductors. As smart devices get smaller and the amount of information transmission increases, much more transmission pressure is added to conductors. The electrical conductivity of NbAs nanobelts is 100 times stronger than copper and 1,000 times stronger than graphene, which creates a much wider pathway for electronics.
  Xiu, a professor in physics at Fudan University, was the corresponding author of the paper. A graduate of Harbin Institute of Technology, he went on to receive a PhD in Computer Science from the University of California, Riverside. His research has included novel topological thin fi lms and nanostructures by molecular beam epitaxy and tube furnaces.
