• Xiao Zhan's New Drama "Small Town Recipe" Is Finished! Luxurious Lineup, Primary Medical Care Story Is Highly Anticipated

  Xiao Zhan's new drama that has just been completed has such a strong lineup. Jiang Yan plays the heroine, and the supporting roles are all acting talents. Coupled with the blessing of a luxurious creative team, this medical drama is another hit and has been booked. CCTV made the right choice!

  After months of intense filming, "Small Town Remedy" starring Xiao Zhan and other powerful actors such as Jiang Yan, Ni Dahong, Jian Renzi, Zhang Guoqiang, etc. has been completed recently, and the official Weibo also released a new trailer as soon as possible!

  In the final trailer, we can see that "Small Town Remedy" is a realistic work focusing on primary medical care!

  The entire drama revolves around the story of the male protagonist Liu Zhengliang, who suddenly fell from the favored son of heaven to a small doctor in a small county town. Along with the process of his self-thought transformation, "Small Town Remedies" tells a healing, tender and down-to-earth story with a strong industry atmosphere.

  It can be seen that unlike previous medical dramas that focused on the doctor-patient relationship, the "prescriptions" in "Small Town Prescriptions" are not only the prescriptions prescribed by doctors to patients, but also the process of self-healing. Such a work with a core and thoughtfulness will undoubtedly be exciting.

  However, compared to the excitement of the plot, which can only be verified by waiting for the main film to be aired, the visible luxurious lineup of "Small Town Remedy" has obviously given the entire drama a good foundation for popularity and performance!

  Xiao Zhan, who plays the male lead, is the most comprehensive among the actors born in the 90s. He is handsome and has good acting skills. His popularity and ability to carry dramas are still top-notch!

  If in the early days of his career, Xiao Zhan followed the route of good looks and starred in mostly idol dramas, then now he has obviously completed the transformation into a capable actor.

  This time in "Small Town Remedies", Xiao Zhan has returned to his familiar role of "doctor". With his current acting skills, he will definitely interpret it better.

  The most important point is that Xiao Zhan's traffic and ability to carry dramas will give "Small Town Remedies" the best performance ceiling. This alone is enough to be competitive.

  Jiang Yan, who plays the heroine, is an actress with very good popularity among the audience. She is beautiful and has good acting skills. She is also a fan of many variety shows. Coupled with the fact that she has representative dramas such as "South and North", Jiang Yan's influence in the industry is also very high.

  In terms of character relationship, Jiang Yan and Xiao Zhan are a couple in "Small Town Remedy"!

  One is an emergency doctor and the other is a female boss in the funeral industry. The two seemingly inconsistent and asymmetrical people have a lot of emotional pull. Such a contrasting setting is so exciting.

  In addition to Xiao Zhan and Jiang Yan, the remaining supporting cast of "Small Town Remedy" is full of acting talents!

  Ni Dahong, who is known as a seasoned drama star, has super acting skills! He can play the scheming Sima Yi, he can also play Su Daqiang who wants to drink hand-ground coffee, and he can even play the scumbag father Ning Xuexiang who wants land but not his daughter. Every role has many memorable points.

  Although she has a small number of works, Renji Suga, who has both good looks and acting skills, can always surprise us in her works. She is a low-key acting actress!

  Zhang Guoqiang is also a recognized actor, capable of mastering both good and bad actors, and has played countless classic roles.

  Wang Yanlin, Chen Jin, Ding Jiali, Fang Fang Bin, and Shi Pengyuan are also old acquaintances of ours. Wang Yanlin, who has a sense of humor and excellent acting skills, Chen Jin, who has played many strict mothers, and Ding Jiali and Fang Fang Bin, who are known as golden supporting roles, can all bring a lot of extra highlights to the series.

  With a cast like "Small Town Remedies", it can be said that they lack nothing in terms of good looks, acting skills and popularity. It has set a new ceiling for proper medical dramas!

  The names Xiao Zhan, Jiang Yan, Ni Dahong, Suga Renzi, Zhang Guoqiang, Wang Yanlin, Chen Jin, Ding Jiali, and Fang Fangbin appear in the same drama. How can this drama not be watched?

  After watching the final trailer and getting to know the entire show’s creators and cast, I can only say that CCTV’s vision has never been bad, and it’s so right that it can add “Small Town Remedy” to the 2026 CCTV drama list as early as possible!

  That's right! Although "Small Town Remedy" has just been completed, it was selected into CCTV's drama list for the new year as early as the end of last year, and it is confirmed that it will be broadcast on the CCTV channel in 2026.

  Audiences who have been watching TV series will know that the ratings and popularity of CCTV channels are huge! If a drama can be broadcast on CCTV, it will naturally have the best ratings base!

  If a major drama like "Small Town Remedy" with a good script and a luxurious lineup is broadcast on CCTV, isn't it a guaranteed hit?

  I have to say that Xiao Zhan has really become the darling of mainstream platforms such as CCTV! Leaving aside "Small Town Remedy", Xiao Zhan's previous starring "The Legend of the Hidden Sea" was also selected into the CCTV film list without finishing production. Coupled with the previous "The Sea in the Dream", this star's luck is not too good!

  So, actors still have to let their works and roles speak for themselves! As long as you are strong enough and your works are good enough, CCTV may favor you more!

  Obviously, Xiao Zhan is such an actor! Anyway, we are already looking forward to watching "Small Town Remedy"!

• Many Countries Around The World Are Exploring Central Bank Digital Currencies, And Many Countries Are Accelerating The Pace Of Research And Development Pilots.

  With the rapid development of the digital economy and the increasing demand for digital financial services, the global monetary and financial system has entered the era of digital transformation, and many economies’ central banks have pressed the fast forward button on the development of digital currencies. A research report on the development of global central bank digital currency recently released by the Atlantic Council, an American think tank, shows that 105 countries and regions are currently exploring and researching central bank digital currency, of which about 50 countries and regions have entered advanced stages of development, piloting, and issuance.

  Accelerate R&D pilot projects

  In recent years, central banks in various economies have stepped up research and development and pilot projects on digital currencies. The latest round of central bank digital currency survey released by the Bank for International Settlements in May this year showed that of the 81 central banks participating in the survey, 90% were conducting research related to digital currency, and 62% were conducting relevant experiments or proof-of-concepts.

  During the Beijing Winter Olympics, the digital RMB pilot program covered more than 400,000 scenes and became a highlight at the international event. Konstantin Ordov, director of the Financial Markets Teaching and Research Office at Russia's Plekhanov University of Economics, said that through testing during the Beijing Winter Olympics, the digital renminbi will have more complete functions and better performance, and will become a digital currency with broad prospects around the world. According to data from the People's Bank of China, as of May 31 this year, the cumulative number of digital renminbi transactions in pilot areas in 15 provinces was approximately 264 million, with an amount of approximately 83 billion yuan, and the number of merchant stores supporting digital renminbi payment reached 4.567 million.

  In the Caribbean, in October 2020, The Bahamas became the first in the world to launch a central bank digital currency. In March last year, the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank launched the digital currency "DCash", making the Eastern Caribbean Monetary Union the first currency union in the world to use a central bank digital currency. Recently, Jamaica also passed legislation authorizing its central bank to issue digital currency.

  In Africa, Nigeria officially launched the digital currency "e Naira" in October last year. Godwin Emefiele, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, said that the government’s launch of digital currency is to supplement and strengthen the country’s payment ecology and financial structure under the new situation and maintain the integrity and stability of the payment system. At the same time, South Africa’s digital currency is in the testing phase, and countries such as Tunisia, Morocco, Ghana, and Kenya have also begun to study and formulate regulatory policies and implementation strategies for central bank digital currencies.

  In Europe, the Bank for International Settlements, the Swiss and French central banks jointly announced the completion of a test project in December last year, confirming that central bank digital currencies can be effectively used for international settlements between financial institutions. In July 2021, the European Central Bank launched the digital euro project and launched a two-year related investigation and research, aiming to solve key issues such as the design and issuance of the digital euro. European Central Bank Executive Board member Panetta recently said that the formal development of the digital euro may start at the end of next year and will take about three years to complete. Tristan Disox, a professor at the Free University of Brussels in Belgium, believes that the development of the digital euro will help the euro area cope with the challenges of digital transformation, ensure that the euro area can better adapt to changes in the external financial environment, and seize a leading position in the global electronic payment field.

  Promising development prospects

  A report released by management consulting firm McKinsey last year showed that the macro benefits of central bank digital currencies are mainly reflected in four major dimensions, namely reducing the cost of providing cash, improving the inclusiveness of financial activities, reducing the dangers of private sector digital currencies, and strengthening the transmission of monetary policy. Analysts generally believe that central bank digital currency has many advantages and will inject new vitality into the global monetary and financial system.

  Sarah Allen, an expert on European digital currencies, said that by issuing digital currencies, central banks can build more efficient and compatible financial markets and make monetary policy transmission more precise. The transparency and other characteristics of central bank digital currencies will also enable policymakers to gain a more macroscopic perspective on the global economy. Igor Pakic, an expert in the field of European digital finance, believes that digital currency can help enhance financial inclusion and inclusiveness. "People can receive, store or trade digital currencies more conveniently. For areas with underdeveloped traditional financial infrastructure, the significance of central bank digital currencies is even more prominent. It will also help to significantly improve payment efficiency, especially cross-border payments."

  Senegalese economist Samba analyzed that the popularity of the Internet and smartphones has made more and more African governments and people aware of the possibility of leapfrog development of inclusive finance. Mobile payment methods in many places in East Africa, West Africa and Southern Africa have become relatively mature. The Central Bank of Kenya stated that the introduction of central bank digital currency is mainly to reduce costs, improve interconnection and strengthen cross-border payments.

  Colombian economist Alfonso is very optimistic about the development prospects of central bank digital currencies in Latin America. "The development of cross-border digital payments will help drive economic recovery and growth in Latin America. Especially when natural disasters occur, the advantages of digital infrastructure are highlighted and can enhance the resilience of payment methods."

  Fully unleash your potential

  “Digital currencies will greatly promote the modernization of the international monetary landscape.” PwC said in a report that as digital currencies are integrated and developed in payment and financial infrastructure, they will create numerous opportunities for the further digitization of enterprises and financial institutions.

  Disox believes that in the future digital economic environment, capital flows need to be seamlessly connected between banks, enterprises, individuals and machines. The central bank's digital currency will synchronize future capital flows and services, so currency digitization is the future development trend.

  Regarding the development direction of digital currencies of African central banks, Samba said that many African governments have seen the technical advantages of digital currencies in saving transaction costs, increasing taxes, and combating corruption. What they need to do now is to "legalize" digital currencies, that is, to collect the "minting rights" of digital currencies in the form of issuance by national central banks, and to avoid as much as possible the excessive scale of some private cryptocurrencies that will bring instability to their own economies.

  Fitch, an international credit rating agency, pointed out in a report that the development of financial markets in Latin America has a clear agenda, which is to accelerate the provision of financial services to underserved and unbanked populations. For example, when the Central Bank of the Bahamas issued a digital currency, it made it clear that its goals were to improve payment efficiency and security, reduce financial service costs, strengthen financial service inclusion, and control money laundering, counterfeit currency, and other cash fraud.

  The World Economic Forum pointed out that in order to fully unleash the potential of digital currency, the advancement of payment technology needs to go hand in hand with the digitization of trade. John Rolle, Governor of the Central Bank of the Bahamas, said that The Bahamas will share experiences and learn from each other in digital currencies with other Latin American countries. "The development prospects of digital currency in this region are exciting. Potential technical cooperation may give birth to a new regional payment platform, thereby promoting the development of economic and trade within the region."

  According to statistics released by Ant International on the same day, in the five days before this year’s Spring Festival holiday (February 15 to February 19), the amount of inbound tourists’ consumption in China using Alipay’s two types of convenient payment services, Alipay’s “foreign card binding” and Alipay+ “outsourced internal use”, increased by more than 80% compared with the five days before last year’s Spring Festival (January 28 to February 1, 2025).

  During the Spring Festival holiday this year, major business districts in Shanghai deeply integrated resources to create a strong atmosphere of "Hundred Horses to Welcome the New Year".

• There Is A Biological Crisis In The Capital Of The United States! Potomac River Sewage Leak, Political Feud Delays Repairs

  Stop laughing at the periodic table of elements in the Ganges River, because Washington is now facing an unprecedented biochemical crisis. The Potomac River, the mother river of the nation's capital, has been on a complete roll lately. A giant sewage pipe with a diameter of nearly two meters, built in the 1960s, suddenly burst.

  For more than a month, more than 900 million liters of foul-smelling sewage poured into Washington's water conservation area as if the floodgates had opened. Although the official insists that the water flowing out of the water pipe is still safe, who can guarantee that this biochemical milk tea will not penetrate into every capillary in the capital in the long run?

  

  What is the concept of 900 million liters? This is equivalent to the waste of 450 standard swimming pools. On a per capita basis, each person in the United States receives nearly three liters. Field sampling at the University of Maryland found that the level of E. coli in the water was off the charts. This kind of upper air that can be smelled through the screen made the most serious sewage leakage in American history happen so clearly on the doorstep of the White House.

  Many people wonder, why is the infrastructure of such a superpower so bad? According to the rating of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the level of sewage treatment in the United States has long hovered at level D. What does Class D mean? It was on the verge of total collapse. Not only is there a lack of money for maintenance, but there is also a lack of money to plug the $690 billion fiscal hole.

  But even more terrifying than burst water pipes are man-made disasters. The pipe has been leaking for a month, and it will take more than a month to repair it. How did the United States achieve this speed? Because there is a political palace fight going on in Washington. After Mr. Wang came to power, he was exchanging blows with the Democratic governor of Maryland, saying he couldn't fix anything.

  The governor countered the federal government's shirking of responsibilities, while the mayor of Washington rushed to declare a state of emergency. In fact, he just wanted to control the White House's request for reimbursement. Everyone is kicking the ball, but no one is trying to plug the hole. This rhythm of multi-party quarrels, internal strife, and laborious work is very similar to India's routine of managing the Ganges River.

  When political stance takes precedence over people's safety, the stench of the Potomac River is actually the epitome of the decay inside the lighthouse. As for the environment and the health of ordinary people, they have never been a priority in the eyes of politicians.

• Wang Yi Attended The United Nations Human Rights Council Meeting And Proposed Key Points For Improving Global Human Rights Governance

  China News Service, Beijing, February 23. Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Minister of Foreign Affairs, attended the high-level meeting of the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council via video in Beijing on the 23rd and delivered a speech.

  Wang Yi said that President Xi Jinping proposed a global governance initiative to lead the direction of global human rights governance with Chinese wisdom, which has received support and response from more than 150 countries and international organizations. China is willing to work with other countries to take the implementation of global governance initiatives as an opportunity to improve global human rights governance and promote the healthy development of the international human rights cause.

  First, we must pursue sovereign equality and protect the original intention of global human rights governance. We must insist on equal participation, equal decision-making and equal benefits among all countries, and promote the construction of a fair, reasonable and inclusive global human rights governance system. Second, we must abide by the international rule of law and build a solid foundation for global human rights governance. All countries should jointly uphold the "golden rule" of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs and resolutely say no to words and deeds that manipulate double standards in the name of human rights. Third, we must practice multilateralism and resolve challenges in global human rights governance. Countries should promote the abandonment of all forms of colonialism and racial discrimination, and properly deal with new issues such as artificial intelligence, climate change and human rights. Fourth, we must advocate people-centeredness and enrich the connotation of global human rights governance. It is necessary to place the right to development in a more prominent position on the multilateral human rights agenda and make human rights progress visible and achievable. Fifth, we must pay attention to action orientation and improve the effectiveness of global human rights governance. China is willing to coordinate actions with the international community to jointly paint a new picture of the global human rights cause.

  Wang Yi emphasized that 2026 is the first year of China’s “15th Five-Year Plan”. China is willing to work with other countries to carry forward the common values ​​of all mankind, join hands to build a community with a shared future for mankind, and let the development and progress of human rights civilization benefit the whole world.
