  "Improving people’s well-being and improving the national public service system" is an important part of the Tenth Five-Year Plan and the long-term goal in 2035. In order to safeguard the welfare and physical and mental health of specific groups, China has put forward the voluntary guardianship and statutory guardianship system for adults in the Civil Code. However, the implementation of this system is directly related to the capacity of behavior. The current guardianship and social assistance guarantee system still cannot properly protect the rights and interests of people with special needs, and their "child care and old-age care" problems.

  Based on China’s aging population and minor property security, this report puts forward the following suggestions:Under the framework of China’s current trust law, we should introduce special needs trust, give full play to the role of trust system in supplementary guardianship system, and increase the guardianship of people with physical and mental disabilities and the protection of property rights.

  01

  Research background of special needs trust

  According to incomplete statistics, there are about 12 million to 20 million people with mental retardation and developmental disorders caused by congenital defects in China, including intellectual retardation, autism spectrum disorder and Down syndrome, and the number of people directly affecting families is 50 million to 80 million. In the rapid development stage of aging, it is estimated that during the "14 th Five-Year Plan" period, the number of elderly people in China will exceed 300 million, among which the proportion of elderly people with dementia and disability will exceed 10%. In the existing social security and service system, parents and relatives are mainly responsible for the care of the disabled. This support system is fragile and unsustainable, and some extreme events happen to the families of mentally disabled people because they are overwhelmed. This situation is not uncommon.

  Special Needs Trust, also known as Supplemental Needs Trust, is a form of trust established by trust companies, non-profit organizations or the government for people with special needs in accordance with relevant laws, aiming at providing trust funds to support the improvement of basic needs such as nursing care and disabled facilities. The special needs trust originated in the United States in the 1980s, which complements the domestic medical assistance system. This kind of trust has the characteristics of general civil trust, and does not affect the social welfare qualification of the trust beneficiaries, so as to meet the needs of the special population for quality and dignity.

  02

  Practice and application of special needs trust

  In the United States, Britain, Australia, Taiwan, China and Hongkong and other countries and regions, special needs trust has become an important supplement to solve the special needs of the disabled, including the mentally handicapped, the elderly and other special needs groups, and has formed relatively perfect and systematic special needs trust products and services, and has formed good practical experience in connecting the services needed by special people and connecting public welfare systems such as medical care and social security.

  (1) The United States

  The motivation of American special needs trust system is that the existing public assistance system, such as medical assistance system and social security subsidy system, can’t meet the all-round needs of people with physical and mental disabilities. Government agencies and individuals actively explore legal ways to improve their quality of life on the premise of retaining their eligibility for assistance. Formally, it is mainly divided into unilateral trust and third-party trust. Because the structure of third-party trust is similar to that of family and family trust, the entrusted assets mainly come from gifts and inheritance, and are less related to public assistance and guardianship system, so the following mainly introduces the unilateral special needs trust system in the United States.

  The unilateral special needs trust is established based on the income generated by the lawsuit or judgment of the person with incapacity or incapacitated person. Because the public assistance system in the United States has strict standards for the applicant’s family or personal income, once the people with special needs get considerable compensation from lawsuits such as personal injury compensation, their personal assets will far exceed the standard of public assistance for assets, thus being disqualified from receiving assistance; However, if this specific group of people does not rely on public assistance, even if they get a large amount of compensation, they can only pay the basic medical expenses and squeeze the normal living expenses. Therefore, for this kind of situation, the best solution is to set up a special needs trust and transfer the management right of the property to the trustee, which will not affect the beneficiaries’ continued enjoyment of government public assistance, but also use the trust property for other daily consumption and improve their lives. After the death of the beneficiary, the remaining property shall not be inherited by anyone, but shall be handed over to the state, and the state shall receive the public assistance expenses equivalent to those spent by the beneficiary before his death. Therefore, these trusts safeguard potential or actual public interests.

  (2) Hong Kong

  On the basis of drawing lessons from American collective trust, Hong Kong, China, has established a special needs trust in line with Hong Kong’s local conditions, and its operating logic is the legal framework of "living trust+will". When the client is alive, he establishes a trust and makes a will. After the client died, the executor sold the client’s assets and transferred the funds to the trust account of special needs trust, and the trust officially began to operate. Hong Kong’s special needs trust is based on the strong credibility of the government, and it is also the first region where a government agency acts as the trustee of the special needs trust. After fully considering the high fees charged by private trusts and the economic situation of most families with special needs, it adopts a similar way of collective trust to serve people with special needs. In 2019, the threshold of special needs trust announced by the Hong Kong SAR government is HK$ 225,000, which is still a great expense for families with financial difficulties, which is contrary to the original intention of adopting collective trust.

  (3) Shenzhen

  On September 8, 2020, Shenzhen Disabled Persons’ Federation and Shenzhen Local Financial Supervision Administration issued "Guiding Opinions on Promoting Trust Development for People with Physical and Mental Disabilities", which took the lead in creating "property management+public welfare" trust services for people with physical and mental disabilities and creating a "helping system for the weak". In the guidance, in order to solve the problem of effective connection between care services for the physically and mentally handicapped and social service institutions, the establishment of third-party intermediary organizations is encouraged to be responsible for connecting the resources and strength of all parties involved in the trust. The intermediary organization can assist the trustee to recommend and select professional service organizations that can meet the needs of the clients and beneficiaries, and conduct regular evaluation and assessment on them. Professional service institutions should be registered as commercial entities or social organizations, and provide personalized support services such as medical treatment, rehabilitation, special education, employment, foster care, old-age care, recreation and sports, basic life care, funeral and interment, wills, laws, etc. according to the trust documents. Their business scope and charging standards will be announced to the public, and they will be supervised by all parties to the trust for the mentally and physically handicapped and the society.

  Through the above analysis, it can be found that the establishment of various trust products complements and perfects the existing guardianship system through the property management service function of the trust. In view of the huge needs of families with mental and physical disabilities, just passively waiting for social welfare support may not meet the diverse family needs, nor is it conducive to catalyzing the development of social service system. Therefore, various methods are needed to jointly promote the solution of social problems.

  03 A survey of guardianship environment under the current legal system  

  China’s guardianship system and related supporting systems are still not perfect, which is the main motivation for introducing the special needs trust system. This part mainly analyzes the living environment of the physically and mentally handicapped from the existing social assistance security system, guardianship system and social care mechanism in China, and further explains how to make up for the shortcomings of the existing system and safeguard the dual interests of the physically and mentally handicapped and their families by introducing the framework of the special needs trust.

  (A) China’s existing social assistance security system deficiencies

  First of all, China’s current social assistance targets are mainly divided into three categories, namely, family members with minimum living security, destitute dependents, and other people with special difficulties as stipulated by the people’s government at or above the county level. Judging from the provisions of the law, at present, the object of medical assistance in China is limited to families with difficult qualifications. The means of medical assistance are divided into partial subsidies for individual contributions of medical insurance and subsidies for medical expenses that are unaffordable. This means of assistance is limited to the subsidy of medical expenses, and it pays more attention to the subsidy of major disease treatment expenses, ignoring the subsidy of special living needs, and the content of assistance is not comprehensive.

  Secondly, from the perspective of minors with physical and mental disabilities, at present, China’s social assistance policies mainly focus on minimum living security, basic living allowance for severely disabled people, centralized support for rural five guarantees and urban "three noes", and basic living expenses for orphans and children in distress. Among them, orphans and children in distress mainly refer to minors who have lost their parents and whose parents or guardians are unable to fulfill their support obligations, but severely disabled people whose annual per capita income exceeds 150% of the minimum living standard and minors who are not in distress are not included in the scope of social assistance.

  (B) The defect that the guardianship system is directly linked to the capacity for conduct.

  At present, China is facing the realistic needs of an aging society, which drives the introduction of special needs trust system to give full play to the value of guardianship system. In 1986, "General Principles of Civil Law" limited adult guardianship objects to mental patients; Article 26 of the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly, which was revised in 2012, expanded the adult guardianship object to the elderly, and put forward the intentional guardianship system for the elderly for the first time; The General Principles of Civil Law promulgated in 2017 has improved the top-level design of the adult guardianship system, and to some extent eliminated the defects of the original guardianship system: expanding the protection scope of adult guardianship from mental patients to adults, adding intentional guardianship and adult legal guardianship system, and confirming two basic principles of adult guardianship, namely, respecting the true wishes of the ward and being most beneficial to the ward.

  Therefore, after 2017, the rules and system of adult guardianship system in China have taken shape. However, there are still some defects in the existing adult guardianship system, such as the unclear content of rights and obligations between the guardian and the ward, the physical, mental and life guardianship of adults who have lost their capacity for behavior, and property management problems. In particular, the current adult guardianship system in China is directly linked to their capacity for behavior, which strictly distinguishes between "disability" (that is, loss of self-care ability) and "dementia" (that is, lack of identification ability), and limits the guardianship object to demented adults.

  (C) the lack of social care mechanism for people with mental and physical disabilities in China

  The social care mechanism for adults with physical and mental disabilities in China is still insufficient, and the existing guardianship status, which is mainly legal guardians, has brought a heavy burden to the families of adults with physical and mental disabilities. Sponsored by Guangdong Association of Mentally Disabled Persons and Their Relatives and Friends, Guangzhou Yang ‘ai Parents’ Club for Special Children, and supported by Guangzhou Disabled Persons’ Federation, the Survey Report on the Employment Situation and Needs of Adults with Mental Disabilities in 2019 shows that more than half of the guardians of adults with mental and physical disabilities are old and rely on pensions to maintain their family life; The proportion of family income sources relying only on pensions and other subsidies is as high as 46%. On the one hand, adults with mental disorders have poor self-care ability, which requires caregivers to invest more money and time, and caregivers have a greater physical and psychological burden; On the other hand, caregivers may be older and begin to enter the old age. After their death, adult children with mental disorders face the dilemma of no one to take care of them. In reality, due to the lack of an effective supervision mechanism, the phenomenon of legal guardians encroaching on the ward’s property and abusing the ward is frequent, the ward’s physical and mental care and property safety are not guaranteed, and the legal guardian’s obligations and responsibilities are not implemented.

  At present, some cities in China, such as Shenzhen, have absorbed the service concepts of Taiwan, China and Hongkong, and have tried to develop community-based services for adults with mental disabilities, with private non-profit organizations providing help for people with mental disabilities in life and employment. However, there are still some problems that can’t be ignored in its operation, such as the responsibility of private non-profit organizations can’t be regulated and it can’t help the mentally handicapped to manage their property.

  At present, China’s social assistance security system still has the defects of too narrow scope of assistance objects and insufficient means of assistance. The perfection of social security system depends on the social and economic development of the country. With the enhancement of China’s economic strength and the improvement of medical level, improving the quality of life of the rescued will become an important social assistance concept, which is not only a necessary measure to actively deal with the aging population, but also the core connotation of China’s socialist social security concept. Special needs trust system can make people with physical and mental disabilities get a better quality of life and become a powerful institutional guarantee for social assistance.

Reporting/feedback

The Long March 5 is a giant in Asia and can be assembled like a building block.

  background for news stories

  On October 28th, after completing the related work in the technical area at Wenchang launch site in Hainan, China’s largest new generation launch vehicle Long March 5, which carried out its mission for the first time, was successfully transported vertically to the launch area, and it is planned to launch it at the beginning of November.

  The Long March 5 carrier rocket developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation is a new generation of large-scale cryogenic liquid-bound carrier rocket in China. Its geosynchronous transfer orbit carrying capacity is 13 tons, and its near-earth orbit carrying capacity is 25 tons, which can be compared with large foreign rockets currently in service. Its main features are great strength, strong body, low cost, no pollution and more reliability … …

  Why build the Long March 5?

  At present, China’s conventional "Long March" series of launch vehicles have made remarkable achievements, and their reliability has reached the advanced level in the world, which can basically meet the transportation needs of China entering space.

  However, since the 21st century, the world’s major space powers have launched a new generation of large-scale launch vehicles, such as Cosmos 5, Delta 4 and Ariane 5 in Europe. They not only have large thrust and the carrying capacity in low-earth orbit reaches 20 tons, but also use cheap, non-toxic and pollution-free low-temperature propellant.

  Compared with similar foreign rockets, China’s mature rockets in active service still have a certain gap. For example, the carrying capacity is small; Most of them also use high-cost, toxic and polluting propellants.

  In order to meet the needs of China’s major space engineering tasks in the future, especially the needs of space development in the next 20-30 years, and catch up with the advanced level of foreign new large-thrust launch vehicles, in October 2006, China began to develop the Long March 5 new generation large-scale launch vehicle. It has a series of new characteristics: large diameter, large thrust, few stages, serialization, low cost, high reliability, easy operation, no pollution, wide application and so on, and its carrying capacity is the same as that of foreign mainstream launch vehicles.

  The Long March 5 all-arrow adopted 247 core key new technologies, and the proportion of new technologies reached almost 100%. In the international development of new rockets, including satellites and spacecraft, the proportion of adopting new technologies generally does not exceed 30%. In the past, the "Long March" rocket used tens of thousands of parts at most, while the Long March 5 rocket used hundreds of thousands of parts, and its design quantity was more than 3.5 times that of the previous "Long March" rocket.

  According to the plan, in 2017, China will use the Long March 5 to launch the Chang ‘e-5 lunar sampling returner, in 2018, it will start to launch the 20-ton space station module one after another, and in 2020, it will launch the first Mars probe in China … …

  Big physique, great strength and great difficulty

  As a new generation of launch vehicle with the largest carrying capacity in China, Long March 5 integrates many latest space technologies. For example, the 5-meter-diameter arrow structure is adopted for the first time, and the non-toxic and pollution-free combined take-off scheme of liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen and liquid oxygen/kerosene engine is used for the first time. Because of its large size, great strength and great difficulty, Long March 5 is also called "Big Rocket" for short, and it is the first heavy rocket in Asia at present.

  The Long March 5 is equipped with three kinds of 12 new high-thrust cryogenic engines and sufficient fuel, so the power is very strong. Its take-off thrust exceeds 1,000 tons, which makes China’s ability to enter space more than 2.5 times, crossing the "threshold" of international large-scale launch vehicles with a low-orbit carrying capacity of 20 tons and a high-orbit carrying capacity of 10 tons, and some technical indicators still exceed those of the world’s major large rockets such as the United States and Europe.

  Its core has a diameter of 5 meters and is bundled with four boosters with a diameter of 3.35 meters. Previously, the diameter of China’s rocket core was 3.35 meters, and the diameter of booster was 2.25 meters. Because the Long March 5 is thick, everyone affectionately calls it "Fat Five". Long March 5 was designed as a "big body" in order to accommodate more propellant and generate more thrust. This can also reduce the number of stages of the rocket, thus reducing the separation times of the rocket and improving the reliability and control ability of the rocket. This is the development trend of contemporary new high-thrust rockets.

  In addition, the core engine of Long March 5 uses liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen fuel, while the booster uses liquid oxygen/kerosene fuel. It is the first time in China that this combined take-off scheme uses two kinds of non-toxic and pollution-free low-temperature fuel engines at the same time. The reason why this complex combined takeoff scheme is adopted is that the working time of the first and second cores is long, so it is suitable to adopt the liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen power system with high specific impulse; The working time of the booster is relatively short, so it is suitable to use the liquid oxygen/kerosene power system with large thrust and high propellant density to increase the specific impulse of the engine. By adopting this scheme, the rocket scale is the smallest and the number of engines used is the least, thus effectively improving the carrying capacity and efficiency.

  It is the first time in the development history of China’s launch vehicle that all its core stages use low-temperature propellant. Because the temperature of liquid hydrogen is -253℃ and liquid oxygen is -183℃, the interior of Long March 5 is extremely low temperature far below the freezing point, which is a veritable "ice arrow". Because its combustion produces water, the rocket is non-toxic and pollution-free, which also marks a new step in the reliability, safety, adaptability and environmental friendliness of the launch vehicle in China.

  Change "carrying the burden" to "carrying the sedan chair"

  The reason why Long March 5 achieved the international advancement of various performance indexes was that it broke through 12 major key technologies in an all-round way, including: structural design, manufacturing and testing technologies for large-scale arrow bodies with a diameter of 5 meters; 120-ton liquid oxygen/kerosene engine technology; 50-ton liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen engine technology; 9-ton thrust liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen engine technology; Rocking suppression technology of large cryogenic rocket: Low-temperature pressurized conveying system with circulating pre-cooling technology and new valve technology; Booster engine swing and front fulcrum force transfer attitude control technology of large liquid launch vehicle, etc. These are the major core key technologies encountered for the first time in the history of launch vehicle development in China, and they are also difficult problems in rocket development in the world.

  In addition, it has broken through many other technologies, for example, its vertical transshipment technology is extraordinary. Because the Long March 5 rocket is about 57 meters long, equivalent to 20 stories high, and weighs more than 600 tons, it was "walked" on the 2800-meter seamless rail for about 2 hours with a movable launching platform half the size of a football field, that is, its vertical transfer speed did not exceed 30 meters per minute. Along the way, the mobile launch platform not only carries the Long March 5 rocket, but also supplies gas and power for the rocket. In this way, the connection between the rocket and the ground can be kept unchanged during the transition of the rocket, thus reducing the work in the launch area and shortening the launch process.

  In the transition method, it is also very different from the active rocket. Other rockets are "shouldering the burden", and the Long March 5 rocket is "lifting the sedan chair" to "walk" more stably. What does this mean? In the vertical transition of the rocket, there are four support arms at the "foot" of the active rocket core level, which are used to let the rocket "stand" on the "car" steadily. The rocket booster is "carried" and "walked" by the core level, so it is called "carrying the burden". The Long March 5 rocket has 12 support arms during the transition, but they are evenly distributed at the "feet" of the four boosters, so the four boosters "lift" the core level, so it is very similar to "lift the sedan chair". Its transition can reach 8-9 winds, and there is no need for any wind-proof and load-shedding device in the middle. The successful completion of vertical transshipment marks that the first flight mission of the Long March 5 carrier rocket officially entered the launch stage.

  Can be combined like building blocks.

  On the basis of extensive and in-depth analysis and research on the latest launch vehicle technology and future development trend in the world, China’s Long March 5 series launch vehicle adopted the general idea of "one series, two engines and three modules" and implemented the design principle of "generalization, combination and serialization". Different combinations of the three modules and the core stage can form six configurations of a new generation of large-scale launch vehicles with a core stage diameter of 5 meters, and a new generation of medium-sized and small-sized launch vehicles can be derived from the new generation of large-scale launch vehicles. Using modular design idea can realize technology sharing, improve reliability, save cost and shorten development cycle.

  The basic model of Long March 5 is a two-stage semi-rocket with booster, with a total length of 57 meters. Its take-off mass is 878 tons, take-off thrust is 1078 tons, and the carrying capacity of geosynchronous transfer orbit is 14 tons, which is used to launch the Chang ‘e-5 lunar sampling returner.

  The Long March 5 B rocket dropped the second stage on the basis of Long March 5, which was used to launch the cabin of China’s 20-ton space station. This one-and-a-half-stage rocket with booster has a total length of 53.7 meters, a take-off weight of 837.5 tons, a take-off thrust of 1,078 tons, and a low-earth orbit carrying capacity of more than 22 tons.

  Long March 5/Expedition 2 is a three-stage rocket with booster. Based on the basic model of Long March 5, it added the upper stage of Expedition 2 as the third stage. It mainly performs launching tasks such as large-scale geostationary orbit and circular orbit in Beidou navigation. The Long March 5, which was first launched this time, is this model.

  Why launch near the coast?

  High-thrust rocket is the first prerequisite for completing major aerospace engineering tasks such as building a manned space station and deep space exploration, and it is also a necessary condition for human beings to return to the moon and land on Mars. However, the diameter of large thrust rockets is very large. For the three launch sites in China, transporting large rockets has always been a difficult problem, because when the diameter exceeds 3.5 meters, the trains transporting rockets cannot pass through culverts.

  The Long March 5 series carrier rockets have a diameter of 5 meters, so they cannot be transported to three inland launch sites in China by train. Wenchang Satellite Launch Center is located near the coast of Hainan, and has a good port where ships carrying large rockets can be parked. This is the most important reason for launching the Long March 5 carrier rocket in Wenchang, Hainan. It adopts road-sea-road transportation mode, and the Long March 5 carrier rocket is transported from Tianjin to Hainan by two special transport ships. China’s future heavy-duty launch vehicle is about 10 meters in diameter, so it is likely to be launched in Wenchang, Hainan.

The change of technology will affect the information collection and distribution mechanism. After the invention of printing, people used indexes and directories to find books, and after the advent of the Internet, people used keywords to find links. The PageRank algorithm invented by Larry Page, the founder of Google, and the optimization of algorithm strategies such as intention recognition are aimed at helping users find better web links through the task-based distribution mechanism centered on the algorithm.

AI makes information search no longer a one-way matching of keywords and links, but an intuitive and accurate two-way dialogue. Perplexity AI first turned this vision into reality, with a one-year valuation of 500 million US dollars. It is a conversational search engine created by former Open AI employees, which gives people a glimpse that a search is not only about discovery, but also about the future of understanding.Based on the development history of search under the technological change, this paper deeply interprets the current AI+ search head product Perplexity AI, and looks at the boundary between search and search engine.

Product priorityPerplexity used a lot of APIs to build products in the early stage. The team focused on product-level optimization, made up for the potential problems caused by the lack of model capabilities through deep product insight, and then went to self-developed infrastructure to reduce costs.

Information interactionPerplexity is a good example of using LLM to assist interaction with external information under the condition of minimizing hallucinations. This form is not limited to search engines, and any scene that needs to interact with external information can expect the reconstruction of LLM.

The boundary of searchThe migration and closure of content by platforms such as Little Red Book and WeChat official account limited the development of global search engines. However, the search itself used to rely on the search subject to collect, filter, summarize and integrate a large amount of information. Now AI can externalize the search process interactively. Search engine has become a new content platform.

01. The evolution of search

The development of search can be traced back to people’s demand for information and the evolution of search and distribution methods.

The concept of search can be traced back to the emergence of printing, when people began to use catalogues and indexes to help them find books and documents. In the mid-1990s, Yahoo! Early search engines began to appear, and they used keyword matching to help users find web pages, but the search results were not always accurate or complete.

Google was founded in 1998 and was invented by Larry Page, one of its founders. PageRank algorithm, by evaluating the number and quality of links between web pages, ranks the weight and importance of a given web page. After that, website owners need to understand PageRank algorithm and other search engine ranking factors in order to optimize the website to improve its ranking in search engines.

Search engine optimization (SEO) experts began to study the selection and use of keywords, the optimization of website content, the construction of external links, the improvement of user experience and other strategies to adapt to the development of Google. They strive to make the website get higher visibility and ranking in the search engine results page (SERP) through technical means and optimization methods.

Referring to our previous article, Greylock, a top venture capitalist: a high-potential market that will be reshaped by AI, Greylock proposed that AI would turn the original algorithm-centered information distribution network into a decentralized two-way network between people. As far as search is concerned, search is expected to become a bilateral information interaction instead of unilateral information query and SEO strategy optimization.

02. what is perplexity ai?

Perplexity is almost the earliest generative search engine, or answer engine. Borrowing the power of the big model, users can ask questions directly, and Perplexity will directly summarize from various screened sources, provide accurate and direct answers, and provide source reference at the same time.

When ChatGPT was first introduced, it once made people think that generative AI might replace the traditional search engine with its excellent natural language understanding and the ability to generate rich answers. However, with the problems of illusion in user experience, inability to connect to the Internet and lagging knowledge update gradually emerging, people began to return to reality and turned to search engines enhanced by large models, such as Perplexity and Bing Chat. These "answer engines" use RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) technology to process the results of search engines, so as to reduce misleading information and improve the timeliness of information. In addition to Perplexity and Bing Chat, other platforms that tried to challenge the dominance of Google search engines, such as You.com and Neeva, also turned to the AI-enhanced answer generation mode.

Compared with the traditional search engine, the answer engine is optimized in the following aspects:The ability to understand user questions, summarize search results, retain the index of search results, and expand user questions.These optimizations are aimed at lowering the user’s use threshold, saving the time for users to search and browse on different web pages, ensuring the reliability of search results, and providing users with the ability to dig deep into problems.

It is precisely because of these characteristics that when Bing Chat was officially launched in February this year, Microsoft CEO Nadella placed high hopes on it and regarded it as an important symbol of opening a new era of search. He believes that this is an unprecedented challenge to Google’s dominant position in the search engine market for 20 years. However, by the time of Google’s antitrust case in October, Nadella showed a change, and frankly Bing Chat still had many problems to be solved, and it did not achieve the expected results in the market share competition. On a global scale, the pattern of search engine market remains stable.

Although Perplexity is still far behind the mainstream search engines in terms of visits, and there are many criticisms that it is only superficial packaging, since its launch, Perplexity has maintained a steady growth, maintaining the highest access time among similar products, and its performance even exceeds that of You.com, which has many years of experience in AI combined with search engines. Among the top 50 GenAI products released by a16z, PerplexityAI ranked 10th. In the half year from March to October, the number of search requests handled by Perplexity AI increased by 6 ~ 7 times every day, and now it has to handle millions of search requests every day.

Perplexity has maintained a good development momentum even after other large-scale models have introduced networking capabilities. Therefore, this paper will discuss the uniqueness of GPT "shell" product Perplexity in the eyes of many people, combining with the actual use experience.

03. How does Perplexity stand out?

Three advantages of Perplexity: fast iteration speed, good effect and functional innovation.

Iteration speed is fast, with a small update every week.

As shown in the figure below, since the introduction of Perplexity, its important updates and milestones are clear at a glance. In less than a year, Perplexity has achieved several key version iterations. Especially in the period of frequent updates, new functions are introduced almost every week, and these updates mainly focus on product functions. It was not until October this year that Perplexity launched a large-scale model aimed at reducing operating costs.

By analyzing the details and data related to version updates filtered out by Perplexity in Twitter, including the release date of each version and the number of likes of related tweets, it can be seen that the Twitter search engine launched at the end of last year was the most liked. The team has a keen product insight into search, and launched Twitter’s SQL-based search analysis engine half a month after the launch of GPT-3.5. The second is the new model launching class dynamics, while the Perplexity team pays more attention to and puts less attention to the iterative content of product update.

It can be speculated that at present, the public’s cognition of AI+ search products is still in the early stage of similar products, and has not yet entered the in-depth experience of product functions or formed significant user stickiness.

Functional innovation, complement the shortcomings of the answer engine

"Devil in the details.", Perplexity’s excellent search experience benefits from its many innovative functions, especially Source Edit, Focus Search, and Perplexity Copy..

Perplexity doesn’t always perform well. For example, when querying "Who is the CEO of Twitter", although similar products can correctly answer Linda Yaccarino, Perplexity sometimes answers incorrectly. This error stems from its reference to Wikipedia entries that have not been updated in time. For such errors, the Source Edit function can provide an effective solution.

Source Edit allows users to edit reference sources and search again. At present, this function only supports deleting rather than adding sources, which effectively reduces the interference of irrelevant sources on the results and corrects the potential instability manually. It can be seen that after excluding Wikipedia, which contains erroneous information, Perplexity can give the correct answer.

In addition, users can use the Focus Search function to limit the search scope before starting a new search, thus improving the search effect. This function is specially optimized in academic search, mathematical calculation, YouTube video and Reddit forum search. Especially YouTube video search, its reference can directly link to the exact time point of related content in the video.

Perplexity Copilot enhances the accuracy and credibility of search results. As a user’s search assistant, Copilot provides more detailed, in-depth and personalized answers.

For the same question, Copilot Search usually refers to more sources, longer answers and more structured presentation. At the same time, in the search process, Copilot will extend the meaning of the user’s question. In a user’s search, in fact, it has searched for different keywords many times. As shown in the figure below, using Copilot to search for the same keyword, Copilot will automatically extend the user’s intention, use different keywords to search and finally summarize.

Personalized search. Perplexity Copilot not only deeply understands the user’s intention, but also provides customized content according to the user’s personal situation. For example, when asking for restaurant recommendation, users will be automatically asked to supplement necessary information, such as the location of the restaurant; At the same time, Copilot will supplement the information required by the user’s AI Profile. As can be seen in the following figure (right), after the author has set his own city in the AI Profile in advance, Perplexity Copilot will no longer ask the user to supplement the address information. Finally, when Copilot asks the user for supplementary information, it will adopt a more LLM Native interaction mode, and according to the type of supplementary information required, Copilot will choose the most appropriate interaction mode for the user to input, as shown in the following figure (right), and a set of check boxes will be automatically generated.

Perplexity copy uses Fine-tuned GPT-3.5 instead of GPT-4. According to the test, Fine-tuned GPT-3.5 can provide the same or even better performance as GPT-4 in most cases (69%), and even provide better performance than GPT-4 in a few problems.

Perplexity’s vision is not only to become a better search engine, but to build a comprehensive knowledge center to help users learn new knowledge easily.For this reason, Perplexity has been focusing on optimizing its citation source and divergence problem handling ability since the beginning of development.

In September, Perplexity launched the "Collections" function around this vision. In Perplexity, each query conversation is regarded as a Thread, and collections are containers of threads, which function like favorites. Collection can not only organize threads, but also expand new problems around the theme and invite collaborators to build a knowledge community together.

Excellent effect, fast, accurate and reliable.

Perplexity shows excellent performance in many aspects, especially in the reliability of content, the richness of information sources, the rapidity of response and the stability of content.

First of all, the reliability of its content and the richness of its sources are particularly remarkable. Taking searching for the latest Dev Day update of OpenAI as an example, searching in Bard, Perplexity, GPT4 and You.com shows the most comprehensive source citation and the best search results in both Chinese and English. Although GPT4 relies on correct keywords, the quality of its results is closely followed, while Bard and You.com are not comprehensive in both Chinese and English searches.

In addition, Perplexity also performs well in the stability and generation speed of results. Compared with other competitors, Perplexity can basically provide consistent answers based on the same source when querying the same question repeatedly, which effectively reduces the uncertainty of the big model. At the same time, the speed of generating answers is the fastest among all similar products.

In addition to qualitative analysis from the perspective of user experience, some scholars try to quantitatively evaluate the effect of the answer engine. In April this year, Nelson F. Liu of Stanford published the paper "Evaluating Verification in Generative Search Engines", and evaluated several major search engines such as Bing Chat, Perplexity, YouChat and Neeva. This paper tests from four dimensions: text fluency, perceived validity, citation recall rate and citation accuracy. On the whole, Perplexity performed the best in this evaluation.

04. Perplexity AI’s experience is insufficient

Based on the above advantages, some users think that Perplexity AI can completely replace the traditional search engine; However, some users have given completely opposite opinions, thinking that it is difficult to replace traditional search engines because of its insufficient information sources and low result value.

The gap in evaluation may be due to the inadaptability to the high expectations and usage habits of the answer engine.

High expectation value

Nelson F. Liu, the author of the paper Evaluating Verification in Generative Search Engines, thinks that on the whole, such answering engines are far from their expected performance. The existing answer engines usually produce smooth and informative results, but they are not good at citation recall and citation accuracy-only 51% of the generated statements are fully supported by the citation content, and only 74.5% of the citations can correctly support the generated results.

The author also found that the generated content has obvious negative correlation in citation accuracy and validity. This is probably a price to reduce the illusion, which is reflected in the fact that the generated result is often a direct copy of the quoted content or a Paraphrase of the quoted content. When the source is actually irrelevant to the user’s problem, this problem will be very obvious.

For example, when users ask, "Is cooperation or competition the driving force to guide social evolution?" Sometimes, the answer engine may refer to the content of cooperation and competition in animal evolution. At the same time, the author thinks that the research results can not fully evaluate the effect of the answer engine, becauseThe research focuses on the verifiability of the answer engine results, not the practicality.The emphasis is on the secondary verification of the reference value and the accuracy of the reference. It is assumed that the user will use the reference to verify the search results based on the generated results. However, what users expect is to get the answer directly without secondary verification, and this expectation often fails, because the answer engine is good at summarizing and not good at stitching.

For most factual questions, Perplexity AI performs very well, and can complete the search target without external links, such as searching for the update of OpenAI Dev Day, the launch of SpaceX rocket, the raiders of a temple in the legend of zelda, etc. The characteristic of this kind of question is that if you use the traditional search method, you can usually get the answer by opening a single web page, and the answer engine refers to multiple sources to summarize the most important information and shorten the description.

But sometimes, the generated results will give people a sense of being reasonable, but useless. The reason for not finding really useful information may be that the density of this part of information is extremely low, and even if AI reads all the data, it cannot extract the essence efficiently.Those things that are often mentioned are also more likely to be things that AI thinks are important and learned first.If the current autoregressive model of transfomer seems to be logical, frequent high-frequency information will increase the probability of being predicted as the next word. "When the answer given by Perplexity is not more meaningful than what I already know, Perplexity acts as if it can’t find the answer or the answer doesn’t exist at all, but when searching on Google, I can still find something deeper that I really want in the first page".

In a word, users expect different granularity answers to different search questions, but Perplexity AI can’t fully consider this when giving answers. The product itself tries to overcome this problem by giving options such as changing models, introducing Copilot and editing search keywords, but it still needs to be optimized for a long time.

Different usage habits

SEO(Search Engine Optimization) has been studied for a long time. It is a process to improve the ranking of websites in search engine results by optimizing website content. There are some interesting statistics about search:

1. 69.6% of the search keywords are less than 4 words in length.

2. 65% of the time, users will select the page to jump from the search results within 10 seconds.

3. In 25.6% cases, users will not click on any search results.

4. Less than 1% of users will browse the second page of search results.

5. About 59% users can solve the problem with one click.

Note: Statistical results refer only to orders of magnitude.

In most search scenarios, simple keywords are used to filter from search results in a very short time, and the problem is solved in less than or equal to one page. This habit is not suitable when it is transferred to the answer engine, because this kind of answer engine search relies on accurate description of the question, prompt engineering and multiple rounds of dialogue to optimize the results; At the same time, it will take longer to generate results than traditional search engines. Perplexity AI weakens this problem by displaying the source before generating the results, but it is still slower than the traditional method.

High expectation value and different ways of using it will lead to the quick search problem that can be solved by opening a page in traditional search, and the answer engine needs more detailed search conditions and longer time to get similar results; For complex search problems that rely on cross-validation of multiple pages, the answer engine appears to be incomplete in information source or insufficient in ability, and cannot give enough valuable information, so users need to use traditional search engines to search again.

05. Can you subvert the search engine?

Although the answer engine is highly anticipated, it is still a distant goal to subvert the traditional search engine.

Take Neeva, which was established in 2019, as an example. This company was once one of the potential challengers of Google, and invested a lot of resources to build its own indexing and ranking system, aiming to provide a better user experience than Google, and without advertisements. Neeva was close to Google’s level in user research and internal indicators, but it closed its business for ordinary consumers only two years later because of the lack of enough users. This shows that,It is difficult to change the pattern of search engine market only by optimizing user experience.

In the past, search engines built deep barriers. Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, and Ramaswami, co-founder of Neeva, both said that the search engine is the most difficult market to break through in the Internet, and most users will not change their default search engine. At the same time, the more users use the default search engine (Google), the search results may be continuously optimized through a large amount of user data, and its leading position seems to be hard to shake.

In addition to the barriers established by traditional search engines, answer engines have other common problems to solve based on big models, such as cost and feedback mechanism.

At present, most of the answer engines are based on traditional search engines and APIs of large models, and they are more focused on the optimization of models and RAG (retrieval-augmented generation). At the same time, the answer engine products generally have not found a reasonable business model. Many competitors’ products of Perplexity AI are still completely free, and it is difficult to meet the large demand for API only by the income of subscription mechanism, which prevents the possibility that the answer engine completely replaces the traditional search engine at this stage. At present,Perplexity AI has been trying to build its own WebCrawler, Search index and LLM to cope with the growing number of query requests and reduce costs.

In addition, the answer engine has failed to find a product form that integrates the collected user feedback into the normal use of the product, just like the search engine or information flow recommendation, so it is difficult to build a data flywheel based on the first-Mover advantage and user accumulation. According to CEO Aravind Srinivas, only about 10% of users will provide feedback, and users may not like the results generated by AI for various reasons. Just because users don’t like it doesn’t mean that the results are not well generated. It is likely that some users’ desired results are lost in the summary of AI. As mentioned earlier, users’ expectations for the summary are not stable and consistent, and what AI thinks is good is not necessarily what humans think. At this point, unlike Google or Tiktok, Perplexity AI can’t use every click or like of users to further optimize products, and still rely on some external Contractor to annotate user data to further optimize the model.

06. More than just search engines

The real threat to search engines may not be another tool, but the centralized migration and closure of content.

In the past ten years, the content published by users has migrated from open forums and blogs that support search engine indexes well to platforms that do not support search engine indexes so well, such as WeChat official account, Little Red Book, Tik Tok, Instagram, Twitter and even Amazon. These platforms have become the first choice for many people in certain scenarios. In the future, these ecosystems are likely to have their own AI search assistants. Not only content platforms, knowledge management platforms such as Feishu and Notion, but also plans to launch their own AI search assistants. The experience and usage methods are similar to those of the answer engine, but the search scope focuses on private databases.

In any scenario, AI-driven search is an assistant for users to interact with external information. Ideally,AI-driven search will help users have an intuitive two-way conversation with information, rather than one-way matching based on keywords.

In addition to the model’s ability to understand and process information, the size of the database will also be one of the important factors that limit the ceiling of answer engine products. The impact of closed platforms such as content platforms on search engines will also have an impact on the future of answer engines. How to build a unique database or access more external databases may be the development focus beyond the product and model capabilities. For example, can Rewind AI be regarded as a search product based on user’s screen recording data to some extent?

Perplexity AI’s team is also aware of the barriers of search engines and the trend of content changes, so they did not choose to make products in the vertical direction to compete, such as shopping assistants or life assistants, because they could not compete with Amazon and Tiktok in data, but chose to explore in the direction of becoming a knowledge content platform.

Try to build a content community by allowing users to share and save the multi-round dialogue process between themselves and Perplexity AI; Although AI currently performs well in expression ability, A large number of seemingly reliable but not practical contents produced by AI limit its potential as a knowledge platform.

But the good news is that search engines are still in a large number of scenarios to help users solve practical problems, and search engines and answer engines can still provide reliable value. It is often said that search itself is a kind of ability, which needs to collect, filter, summarize and integrate a large amount of information, and the processing of information is in the past search process, which exists in the workflow of the search subject but cannot be spread, and more is processed and processed in the brain and personal knowledge base of the search subject. With AI replacing users to complete the processing and display of information, the search process itself has the potential to become an interactive content form, which may be the possibility that Perplexity AI will become a content platform.

"Sword Rain" male star constellation poster exposed, John Woo creates a killing game


"Cancer Man" Yu Wenle

Previously exposed actress constellation posters

[Click to watch the exclusive video]
 
The official website of "Sword Rain" has been launched, and Yu Wenle has high killer skills and many talents
 

        On August 19, John Woo’s first martial arts masterpiece "Sword Rain", which was invested by Beijing Pony Pentium Film Co., Ltd. for 14 million US dollars, officially launched its official website in Beijing Fortune Shopping Center and exposed the posters of the constellation of stars. "Sword Rain", which will be released nationwide on September 28, is known as "a movie without supporting roles". It is the strongest lineup of Chinese martial arts that gathers Yang Ziqiong, Zheng Yusheng, Wang Xueqi, Da S, Yu Wenle, Lin Xilei, Dai Liren, Bao Qijing, Wu Peici, Guo Xiaodong, Li Zonghan, Jiang Yiyan and other 12 A-list stars, together with Su Zhaobin, Dong Wei, Jin Peida, Hetian Huimei and other ultra-luxury teams behind the scenes. For this reason, the film broke the conventional poster design and specially tailored the constellation posters for the twelve starring characters. Each star’s character in the play corresponds to a constellation, and the famous constellation Little Prince writes the constellation judgment, and the "star luck" reveals the fate of the characters in the play.

        "Rain of Swords", with the theme of a retired female killer being hunted by a killer group, was called a martial arts version of the "killing game" by John Woo. The story tells that after the female killer "Zeng Jing" (Yang Ziqiong) washes her hands in a golden basin, she becomes a couple with the simple young messenger "Jiang Ah Sheng" (Zheng Yusheng) in the small town, but because she has the holy things that everyone in the rivers and lakes desires, she cannot escape the hunting and killing of the killer group (Big S, Yu Wenle, Dai Liren, etc.) led by the "Wheel King" (Wang Xueqi). In the endless "killing game", she gradually drifts away from ordinary life and falls into the struggle of killing or redemption… Because of the ups and downs of the plot and the shocking picture, "Sword Rain" is known as "more entertaining, more literary, and more popular than". Woo, who has always been known for depicting men’s friendship, "abandoned" brotherly loyalty for the first time and praised the heroine in his first martial arts film. In an interview, Woo admitted that unlike his previous emphasis on brotherly chivalry, in "Sword Rain" with women as the protagonist, love will be an important element. "" Sword Rain "is not a simple fight to kill, revenge, it actually tells a love story between men and women, it is a humanized movie."

        At the press conference, the calligraphy font of the title of "Jian Rain" was first announced. The global collection of calligraphy fonts jointly initiated by the producers of "Jian Rain" and the "2nd" Chen Xiang Four Forces "Zero Basic Calligraphy Crash World Internet Protocol Television Selection Committee" received more than 10,000 works from home and abroad. In the end, Shen Congqi, the inventor of the "father of the saber" in New China, won the prize, and his written title was officially used in the film title.

        Although "Sword Rain" is a female hero film led by "female version of Chow Yun-fat" Yeoh Michelle Yeoh, the "female hero" was absent on the day of the launch. Under the leadership of Woo, Wang Xueqi, Yu Wenle, Dai Liren, Guo Xiaodong and Li Zonghan were generous to help out. Woo joked that "this is the biggest suspense of the movie". Among them, the combination of "killer trio" Wang Xueqi, Yu Wenle and Dai Liren became the biggest highlight, and they showed their respective lore tricks – eyes, smiles and unique weapons.

Constellation posters have less murderous intent and more laughter? John Woo: "’Sword Rain’ is against being superior"

        Unlike previous movie posters, "Sword Rain", known as "no supporting movie", has a strong lineup and a collection of stars. The film deliberately broke through the traditional star poster design method and tailor-made constellation posters for the twelve starring stars. Each star corresponds to a constellation, and invited famous constellation experts to write constellation judgments to reveal the characters’ characters and fates with "star luck". In the previously exposed female version of the series of posters, online popular words such as "embarrassing mother-in-law" and "sharp sister" frequently appeared in the character judgments, causing controversy among netizens. The male version of the poster exposed on the day of the press conference still contained buzzwords such as "Octopus Emperor" and "Low Carbon Senior Monk". The poster of the character played by Guo Xiaodong directly quoted "My life can be copied", reminiscent of the "Tang Junmen" that was popular a while ago.

        As a martial arts blockbuster with a strong lineup in front of and behind the scenes, "Sword Rain", which is known as the martial arts version of the "killing game", is the use of many entertainment words in the poster "insufficient murderous"? In this regard, John Woo said that "Octopus Emperor", "Sharp Sister", "Embarrassed Granny", in fact, behind every seemingly entertaining interpretation actually contains an interpretation of the fate of the characters, and the audience will naturally understand the reason for the words after watching the movie. At the same time, John Woo is personally disgusted with high-flying martial arts films. "The story of" Sword Rain "itself hopes to make the audience feel realistic and identified." He suggested that everyone might as well take a seat in their respective constellations with the mentality of the game and really join this "killing game".

"Killer trio" kills without a sword, Wang Xueqi: "Lust is not animal nature, it is human nature"

        Despite the collective absence of "female heroes" such as Michelle Yeoh and Big S, the collective appearance of the male heroes on the scene is still imposing, especially the "killer trio" composed of Wang Xueqi, Yu Wenle and Dai Liren. In the play, they are the main characters of the "Blackstone" killer group that pursues and kills Yang Ziqiong. It is their step-by-step hunting that brings urgent suspense to the film. The screen images are mostly Wang Xueqi, Yu Wenle and Dai Liren, who appear in the front. For "Sword Rain" to break the limit and play bad guys, and each finds the secret to quickly increase the murderous aura – eyes, smiles and strange weapons. Wu Yusen introduced that "killers are not necessarily cold-blooded, and sometimes the killing with a smile is more lethal."

        In addition, Wang Xueqi, who plays the villain No. 1 and the head of the killer group "The Wheel King", "protested" at the press conference that the verdict in his poster was "bestial and inhumane." He said that his villain in the play is not an absolute bad guy who is inhumane. "Whether it is the change of character identity before and after, or his personal unremitting pursuit, I believe that in the end, the audience will feel that he is very worthy of sympathy." And the erotic drama in the movie that has been hyped up before does not mean that it is "bestial." "The erotic drama in the movie is paved with literary drama, not naked wrestling and beating the shoulders when you come up. And when we shoot, we also strive to act more beautifully, better, and more suitable for people’s emotions, so that people can feel the beautiful enjoyment in lust. "

Global hotspot: Russia-Belarus military exercise NATO tension

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 14th (global hotspot) Russia-Belarus military exercise NATO tension

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  The "West-2017" joint military exercise between Russia and Belarus was unveiled on the 14th. Although the Russian side has repeatedly said that this military exercise is "purely defensive in nature", NATO has been nervous.

  News fact

  The exercise lasted until 20th. The exercise venue started from kola peninsula, Russia, and went all the way to Belarus. The theme was to train the armed forces to ensure the military security of the Russian-Belarusian alliance countries. The main purpose was to optimize the operational compatibility of the general staff of the two countries at all levels, and to connect the two countries’ armies and weapons command systems.

  Today, the Russian news agency reported that the number of soldiers participating in this event reached 12,700, and about 70 military aircraft, 250 tanks, 200 artillery pieces and 10 warships were used. Russian Defense Minister shoigu said that this exercise is "the most important armed training this year".

  Russia and Belarus have close relations. At the end of 1999, the two countries signed a treaty to establish a Russian-Belarusian union country, and they are committed to forming a confederate country while retaining their respective national sovereignty. The two countries held joint military exercises in Belarus for the first time in 2009, and then held such joint military exercises in turn every two years.

  Belokonev, First Deputy Minister of Defense and Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Belarus, said that the military exercise was defensive in nature. NATO has continuously increased its military deployment in the three Baltic countries and Poland, and frequently approached the white border area. It is against this background that the "West-2017" exercise was carried out.

  [Depth analysis]

  Both Russia and Belarus stressed that this military exercise will not pose any threat to Europe as a whole or neighboring countries, but the relevant news has caused tension among NATO countries since its release. Western public opinion’s speculation about the actual scale of the Russian-Belarusian military exercise and the intention behind it is even more rampant. German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen recently said that the actual number of soldiers participating in the military exercise was as high as 100,000, and the exercise was intended to be "strategic intimidation".

  The reason why this military exercise caused anxiety in the west is inseparable from the recent deterioration of relations between Russia and the United States and other western countries. Not long ago, some Russian diplomatic facilities in the United States were closed, and the US military’s military deployment against Russia in Europe was also increasing, and the relations between the two countries were in trouble.

  Analysts believe that in the context of such a large-scale military exercise, the relationship between Russia and the West cannot be eased, and mutual distrust and hostility may intensify. NATO may take countermeasures, but both sides will not let things get out of control.

  [First Comment]

  Military exercises in peacetime are a good opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of the army and enhance its combat capability. For Russia, it is a good opportunity to enhance its deterrence against NATO. The Russian-Belarusian joint military exercise has had a wide impact before it started. It can be said that Russia’s purpose has reached half.

  NATO’s eastward expansion and the United States’ military deployment in Eastern European countries have always been regarded by Russia as a major hidden danger to its national security, and it is also a deadlock of mutual distrust between Russia and the West. After the Ukrainian crisis, the United States and NATO countries frequently held large-scale military exercises in Eastern Europe, the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea, constantly challenging Russia’s bottom line. Russia also urgently needs to shock the other side through similar means to show its military strength in order to maintain the geopolitical balance of power in this region. Although it is helpless, it is also reasonable.

  According to Russian media reports, the "Western" series of military exercises was inherited from the Soviet Union. At that time, it was a large-scale strategic military exercise held by the Soviet Union in the western border area with more weapons and equipment. In 1999, after NATO air strikes against Yugoslavia, Russia resumed this series of military exercises.

  The "Western" series of military exercises held under the framework of Russia-Belarus Union countries began in 2009, and it is the largest among the military exercises held between Russia-Belarus Union countries. Russian official news shows that this series of military exercises is held every two years.

  The background of the "Western-2017" joint military exercise superimposed on the Ukrainian crisis and the deterioration of relations between Russia, Europe and Russia and the United States is even more interesting. (Reporter Wang Moying, Zhao Yan, editor Liang Yan, Wang Fengfeng)

  Russian Deputy Defense Minister: The "West-2017" military exercise is not an excuse for NATO to deploy troops on the Russian border.

Which of these five COVID-19 vaccines should I use?

According to the data released by National Health Commission, as of April 3rd, 136.677 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine were reported in all localities.

At present, five Covid-19 vaccines have been approved for use in China. What’s the difference between these five vaccines? Which variety is better? The expert responded.

According to the technical route, the five vaccines are divided into three categories:

One is inactivated vaccine, includeSinopharm Zhongsheng Beijing Company, Sinopharm Zhongsheng Wuhan Company and Beijing Kexing Zhongwei Company. Three inactivated vaccines produced;

The second is adenovirus vector vaccine, forTianjin kangxinuo company Production of adenovirus type 5 vector vaccine;

The third is recombinant protein vaccine, forRecombinant novel coronavirus vaccine (CHO cells).

What is the difference between the three technical routes?

"Inactivated vaccine is a vaccine prepared by a series of purification techniques after the live virus is killed by physical and chemical methods." Wang Junzhi, deputy head of the expert group of the vaccine research and development special class of the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism and academician of China Academy of Engineering, said that its main feature is that the composition of the vaccine is similar to that of the natural virus, and its immune response is strong, so it has good safety.The vaccine is relatively stable, can be stored at 2-8 degrees Celsius for two to three years, and is convenient to transport; Take two injections of immunization.

"Adenovirus vector vaccine is a live vector vaccine made by taking adenovirus type 5 as a vector, introducing Covid-19 antigen gene and making it through bioreactor." Wang Junzhi said that the vaccine preparation process is relatively simple, and the research and development costs and production costs are relatively low, because it was successfully developed on the basis of the original platform of Ebola vaccine for adenovirus type 5 in our country.Vaccine can induce antibody production and enhance cellular immunity; You can take a single needle immunization.

"Recombinant protein vaccine is to express the most effective antigen components in vitro by genetic engineering. In vitro cells are cells commonly used by engineering cell lines in biological products, similar to industrial fermentation, and finally made into vaccines. " Yan Jinghua, a researcher at the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the whole production process is a process of protein expression and purification, and there is no live virus involved, so the production process is safe and easy for mass production. From the past use process of recombinant protein vaccine and the previous experimental results, the safety of recombinant protein vaccine can be guaranteed, and the adverse reaction rate is relatively low.The vaccine is refrigerated at 2-8 degrees Celsius, which has low requirements for transportation and storage conditions; Take two or three injections of immunization.

Which vaccine is more effective?

Wang Junzhi said that the three routes of Covid-19 vaccine have their own characteristics. No matter what technical route is adopted, the most important thing is to develop a safe, effective and quality-controlled vaccine by combining the characteristics of antigen and pathogen, which is the key criterion for vaccine success.

He Qinghua, a first-class inspector of National Health Commission CDC, said that at present, all Covid-19 vaccines listed in China have been examined and approved by the drug regulatory authorities.Its safety and effectiveness are supported by certain data, so you can safely inoculate.

How to choose single needle and double needle?

Shao Yiming, a researcher at China CDC, introduced,For people who need to go to epidemic areas for temporary or urgent tasks, but don’t have enough time to wait, it is more suitable to inject single-needle adenovirus vector vaccine. In addition, single-needle inoculation can avoid the poor immune effect caused by failure to get the second needle for various reasons.

Single-needle vaccine also has shortcomings. Shao Yiming suggested that the immune response intensity induced by single-needle adenovirus vector vaccine is generally weaker than that induced by two-needle vaccine, and it is no problem in preventing early epidemic virus. When it is replaced by late mutant virus, the protection efficiency will mostly decrease. Therefore, when choosing a vaccine, we should make a comprehensive judgment and scientific decision according to the specific situation of the people to be protected and the latest monitoring data of local epidemic viruses.

Why is vaccination first for young people and then for the elderly?

According to an interview with Dr. Zhang Wenhong from CCTV News: ① The elderly are less socially active than young people and may not be easily infected; ② The main task of epidemic prevention and control in China is to prevent external import and internal rebound, and most people who are exposed to viruses, such as doctors, are young people; ③ The incidence of other diseases in the elderly population is high, which needs more clinical research data to support.

I don’t have to fight when everyone else has?

Wen Yumei, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and a professor at Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, said that vaccine is the only weapon that can completely control an infectious disease. Vaccination not only protects individuals from the pathogens of infectious diseases, but also limits the spread of pathogenic microorganisms in groups.

She pointed out that it is a good time to get COVID-19 vaccine. Because there is no epidemic in China, and most people are in good health, vaccination can protect everyone well. "We should take precautions and protect ourselves first."

In view of the mentality of some people that "I don’t need to get vaccinated when everyone else has finished", Wen Yumei said that this is a misunderstanding. The immune barrier formed by the population (generally about 70% to 80% people need to be vaccinated according to the Covid-19 transmission coefficient) can effectively control the spread of the epidemic, but it does not mean that individuals will not be infected. "Others are vaccinated because others are protected. If you are not vaccinated, you still have the risk of being infected."

Reminder: Don’t believe this message.

Recently, people across the country received a short message signed "Center for Disease Control", saying that "COVID-19 vaccine can be vaccinated by appointment" and attached an appointment link.

At first glance, it looks realistic, but you can see the flaw if you look closely. Yes, this is a scam message. If you receive a similar message, don’t believe it! Please delete it at the first time, don’t click on the link inside, and don’t fill in personal information.

Why does Aouita 12, which has more than 20,000 fires, circle?

One month after listing, there are more than 20,000 sets. At the same time, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, a Chinese-speaking film actor who won the Golden Award, Golden Horse Award and Golden Rooster Award, speaks for himself. It can be said that the price of 300,800 ~ 400,800 yuan will give you a car from the future, the avant-garde value of science fiction, and the leading intelligent technology of Yaoyao. Who doesn’t love such products?

Aouita 12 adopts a large hatchback without a side cabin. When we first saw it, we were shocked by its sci-fi sense. The warm and full front of the car is full of science and technology in fashion. The E-shaped split front family design is continued, but the proportion of Aouita 12 looks more harmonious than that of Aouita 11. The posture of Aouita 12 is the same, and the understanding of luxury coupe is somewhat similar.

As a luxury coupe, the body length of Aouita 12 has reached 5020mm and the car height has reached 1450 mm. The very low-lying posture directly tells us that this is a luxury coupe, and it also brings a good room rate to the interior space. In addition, the large slip back at the rear of the car and the 21-inch wheel hub also enhance the fashionable and smart atmosphere of the Aouita 12 side. The design of low front and high back makes the side of the Aouita 12 look like a GT.

All-LED Star-Travel Curvature Lamp Group shows avant-garde modeling, and its elegant taste is obvious. In addition, the vehicle is also equipped with an intelligent active air intake grille, which can be automatically opened and closed, allowing the driver to walk while driving.

In front of the windshield, there is the signboard screen of Aouita, which contains 10,500 light beads. After OTA, it can display rich scene modes, with high playability, such as yielding to pedestrians and temporary parking. When the vehicle is charging, it can display rich bubble animation interaction, and can also see the current power on the HALO screen.

The whole rear design of Aouita 12 is simple but not simple, showing a tough style, and the tail outline depicted by lines is full of strength, as if to tell people that it has strong performance potential. Above the rear of the car, Aouita 12 is equipped with a hidden active lifting tail, which constantly shows you that it is a performance coupe, which not only makes it look cooler, but also provides effective underground pressure for the vehicle at high speed, making driving more stable and safe.

Aouita 12 is the first model equipped with electronic rearview mirror in China. As for the electronic rearview mirror, the official claims that the view range is wider than the traditional rearview mirror, and the view of the rearview mirror will not be affected in extreme weather. It’s still very good to use on daily roads. No matter where your eyes are, you can easily see the situation on both sides of the car, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Physical rearview mirrors can gain a wider field of vision by moving the position of your eyes, but the visual range of electronic rearview mirrors is unchanged, especially when the sun is strong. The display screen of electronic rearview mirrors in cars is not clearer than that of physical rearview mirrors.

The most maddening thing about the electronic rearview mirror is that it is difficult for you to grasp the distance between the vehicle and the obstacles on both sides during parking. Even the 10-year-old driver failed to adapt to the Aouita 12′ s parking after a three-day test drive. Of course, the employees of Aouita Sales Center can’t easily park their cars by using the rear view mirror. As for the electronic rearview mirror, everyone can park their cars directly when they test drive, and they will know that it is worthwhile to spend this money.

As a luxury coupe, Aouita 12 has adopted a brand-new interior style design, with a 35.4-inch 4K panoramic huge widescreen and a large central control screen. With the steering wheel design of the special-shaped steering wheel, it has a rich scientific and technological atmosphere and a great sense of the future. At the same time, a large number of leather material packages, dual 50W liftable wireless fast charging, dual zero-gravity seats, seat massage ventilation and heating, and intelligent photochromism front windshield+panoramic canopy, etc.

Aouita 12 is the first intelligent electric vehicle adopting HarmonyOS 4.0 system in China. Its standard three-laser radar and Huawei ADS 2.0 advanced intelligent driving technology show a high level of intelligence. According to the official introduction, Aouita 12′ s intelligent driving experience is advanced, thanks to its actuator consisting of 3 lasers and 29 intelligent sensing hardware, with higher specifications, which makes the overall intelligence level by going up one flight of stairs.

Aouita 12 adopts front double wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension, and is equipped with air suspension system and CDC dynamic suspension damping control, using ZF CDC electronically controlled shock absorber. Air suspension can reduce the height of the car body by up to 20mm and increase it by up to 25mm, thus ensuring the passability of vehicles. The normal driving in urban areas is very comfortable, the chassis is full of toughness, excellent in filtering fine bumps, strong in driving support when running mountains, stable in body posture, confident in cornering and able to have both comfort and sports!

Based on the advanced CHN platform, Aouita 12 has excellent basic performance, and the four-wheel drive accelerates for 3.9 seconds. The new car provides a 700km rear-drive endurance version and a 650km four-wheel drive endurance version under CLTC condition. The battery is provided by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, and it is built on a full-stack 750V high-voltage platform, which supports the maximum overcharge of 240kW and can be charged from 0% to 80% within half an hour. The energy consumption of commuting test drive in urban areas is about 17.5kWh per 100 kilometers. Equipped with a 94.5-degree CTP battery pack, CLTC has a pure battery life of 700km, supports 750V high-voltage charging, and can fully charge 90% in 20 minutes by using the overcharged pile, which is still remarkable.

Behind Aouita, security is the virtue. Relying on the respective advantages of Changan Automobile, Huawei and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, Aouita 12 has a good face value and is equipped with Huawei ADS 2.0 advanced intelligent driving system, which is first-class in many aspects. It is indeed a very good car with many highlights, but this sci-fi design may be more picky, and people who like it will like it very much, but some people think that the design is a bit advanced.
