THE Shenzhen Pingle Orthope-dic Hospital was handed over by the Zhengzhou Municipal Government to the Pingshan District Government during a ceremony held at Wuzhou Guest House on Wednesday, marking the fi rst cross-province handover of a public hospital in China, the Daily Sunshine reported Thursday.

The ceremony was attended by government offi cials from both Shenzhen and Zhengzhou. Wu Yihuan, vice mayor of Shenzhen, said the handover of the hospital will fuel the development of tra-

ditional Chinese medicine and improve the clinical services in Shenzhen.

The hospital’s founder, Guo Chunyuan, is the fi fth successor of the “Pingle Guo Family’s Bone-setting Therapy.” Supported by the Zhengzhou government, Guo came to Shenzhen in 1985 seeking medical cooperation, and he founded the hospital in Shenzhen in 1986. The hospital has developed into a third-level grade-A hospital with over 650 employees over the past three decades.

The hospital was a public

hospital administrated by the Zhengzhou government, but it was also a private hospital in Shenzhen. According to the agreement signed by both gov-ernments, all of the hospital’s assets will be handed over to the Pingshan government for free, and the hospital’s name will not be changed.

Additionally, the hospital will be relocated to Pingshan District, and the district government will provide fi nancial support, deploy manpower and purchase equip-ment for the new hospital.

According to the district’s

plan, the new hospital in Ping-shan will have 600 beds after phase I of construction, while 1,600 beds will be available after phase II. The hospital will have several treatment centers and be equipped with advanced medical facilities.

The bone-setting therapy developed by Guo’s family is well-known for being an effective and less-painful treatment with a low recurrence rate. The therapy was included in the fi rst batch of national intangible cultural heri-tage in 2008.

AN app-based cab driver has been criminally detained for allegedly stealing 14,000 yuan (US$2,146) using the WeChat account of a rider who had left his phone in the car.

On Sept. 1, Universiade Town Police Station in Longgang District received a report from a man, surnamed Liu, claim-ing that 14,000 yuan had been transferred out of the bank account that was tied to WeChat

on his mobile phone. He forgot his mobile phone in the car after getting out of the cab.

He contacted the driver, who denied ever fi nding Liu’s phone. The driver, also surnamed Liu, continued to deny the accusation when police started an investiga-tion.

The police investigation showed that a woman, surnamed Ding, had used the victim’s WeChat account to buy two iPhone 7

Plus mobile phones for 13,000 yuan. On the night of Sept. 4, police arrested Ding in a rented apartment in Shajing, Bao’an District. Ding confessed that she had conspired with the cabbie to steal money from the victim. The driver was also caught on the night of Sept. 4.

The interrogation revealed that the driver had in fact found the phone left by the passenger. He was surprised to fi nd that the

owner hadn’t set up screen-lock code. The driver opened the vic-tim’s WeChat account and found it was tied to a bank account. Liu then changed the payment code for the phone and gave it to Ding to buy two mobile phones using WeChat payment. The two then divided the account’s remaining 1,000 yuan.

Ding is also being held under criminal detention.

XIAO GUOXUN always wants to try something new. In 2015, he founded the salad brand Sexy Salad in Shenzhen with the ambition of promoting healthier eating habits in China. One year later, the company occupied over 90 percent of the market share in Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

Xiao, now in his early 30s, enrolled in the business school of Sun Yat-sen University in 2005. After graduation, he was recom-mended to Shanghai Jiaotong University to study for a master’s degree, but he gave up and joined P&G as he wanted to get enough work experience to start his own business in the future.

Two years later, Xiao left P&G and turned to the real estate industry. In late 2014, he founded an e-commerce com-

pany to sell fresh food online.Also in 2014, salad as a staple

food started to gain popularity among Chinese customers. Xiao noticed that many Chinese people had a habit of overeating, which might cause health problems such as obesity, high blood pres-sure and hyperlipidemia in the coming decades.

“I want to change Chinese peo-ple’s eating habits and promote a healthier lifestyle in China,” Xiao said. He founded Sexy Salad with four partners in July 2015. The brand’s target customers are the middle-class and those who pursue a healthy diet.

A year later, the company gained over 22 million yuan (US$3.38 million) in the A+ round of fi nancing, and its market share in Shenzhen and

Guangzhou reached 90 percent.The recipes for its salads are

open to customers, so they could easily be copied by its competitors, but Xiao said he isn’t worried about copycats as he believes that continuous innovation will make him go further.

The company has developed rapidly by expanding its online and offl ine sales channels. Xiao said his goal for the coming three years is to really change the eating habits of Chinese people.

Xiao said he has been indepen-dent since he was a child because his parents always let him make his own decisions. Xiao’s daugh-ter was born earlier last year. He said he will give enough freedom to his daughter so that she can live her life in the way that she likes. (Zhang Yang)

Orthopedic hospital moved to Pingshan

STARTING Dec. 31, 2018, Shenzhen will cancel the renewal of license plates for gasoline-powered vehicles of the National I emissions standard, as the city tries to accelerate the phasing out of higher polluting models.

Car owners are entitled to use their old license plates for the reg-istration of a new car if their exist-ing car has been sold or scrapped. License plates for new cars are either sold at auction — which currently costs about 50,000 yuan (US$7,627) — or given out for free by lottery, at a success rate of less than 0.4 percent.

The new policy means that from Dec. 31, 2018, owners of cars of the National I emissions standard will no longer be able to obtain new license plates for a new car for free by selling the existing car to another city or scrapping it. The new policy encourages car owners to replace their old cars with new ones that meet the more environment-friendly National V emissions standard. Cargo vehicles will not be affected. The city’s environment authority will release a list of car models that meet the National I standard.

Authorities remind car owners to complete the registration for scrapping or selling their old cars, as well as the application for new car plates, before Dec. 30, 2018 to ensure they will be able to apply for renewal. The new car should be registered by March 30, 2019. (Zhang Yu)
