CCTV News:"Young people have the right to sexual and reproductive health." As soon as he saw Tang Kun, he talked to reporters about the topic of "youth health education" without any guidance from reporters.

As a post-80s young teacher, Tang Kun has been paying attention to the field of adolescent sexual and reproductive health for 15 years. In his words, this field has changed his life track.

The rights of young people

In 1994, the Programme of Action was released at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo, in which it was mentioned: "The social action for adolescents’ reproductive health needs should be to provide information to help them grow up and make responsible decisions. In particular, teenagers should be provided with information and services that can help them understand their own sexual characteristics … …”

Since the ICPD 24 years ago, great progress has been made in reproductive health and rights on a global scale. At present, China’s population and family planning work has shifted from population control to total regulation, quality improvement and structural optimization, and has entered a new era of "encouraging birth according to policies and promoting long-term balanced population development". People get more information about their reproductive rights and choices, and more ability to defend their rights, including teenagers.

"Youth health education, young people are more sharing and participating, and even leading." Tang Kun said that this is a question about choice and rights, and this youth cause is very important. At present, the number of induced abortions in China is about 9 million every year, and the trend of younger induced abortions is becoming more and more serious. Tang Kun said: "Youth health education focuses on teenagers’ comprehensive sexual and reproductive health, from the confusion of adolescence to the confusion of interpersonal communication, from the decision of sexual behavior to how to prevent the spread of AIDS … …”

Teenagers are the subjects of providing health services, not just the objects. "Health services should aim at satisfying clients, not just looking at statistics. It needs to meet the needs of the group to know, not mandatory, and the communication effect is very important. " Tang Kun said that this is his deepest experience in doing youth health education in recent years.

China youth network with Youth Participation

On World AIDS Day in 2002, Tang Kun, a sophomore and president of the Student Union of Peking University Basic Medical College, led a volunteer team to ditan hospital to publicize how to prevent and treat AIDS. "At that time, many people came to watch. A young man pushed a bicycle to come over and asked what he was doing outside the crowd. When he heard that it was propaganda to prevent AIDS, he immediately pushed the bicycle and ran away." Tang Kun said that he still remembers the left figure. "The core of young people’s right to sexual and reproductive health is not only how to enjoy it, but more importantly, how to exercise it."

In mid-2004, a national youth organization — — China youth network was founded under the initiative and organization of China Family Planning Association (CFPA). Tang Kun has become one of the most active members of this youth organization. "Youth participation" is to let young people participate in his own sexual and reproductive health work, projects and practices.

"I was confused at first. As a young man, how can I effectively participate in it?" Tang Kun said that the World AIDS Conference held in Thailand in 2004 made him suddenly enlightened. It was the first large-scale international conference he attended on behalf of the youth network. At that meeting, he saw the features of young people from all over the world, who stood at the forefront of advocating young people’s sexual and reproductive health rights and preventing AIDS. "I am very excited, and my horizons are broadened at once. By looking at booths and posters in different countries and watching the activities of young people in different countries, we can also do a lot of things to speak on behalf of young people in China! "

After returning, Tang Kun joined the students in the youth network to go to school and enter the community to spread the prevention, scientific research and treatment of AIDS and provide health services for young people. "Sex education is not a physical health class. Comprehensive sex and reproductive health education is to tell young people to keep a positive outlook on life, face the relationship between the sexes correctly and how to overcome peer pressure. Let them also participate in designing these contents. " Through continuous efforts and attempts, china youth network has not only launched a series of various and effective youth health intervention projects in China, but also shared China’s experience with young people in other countries. Since then, the World AIDS Conference has become a position for china youth network to show the confidence and determination of young people in China to prevent AIDS. Up to now, setting up a booth for young people in China at the World AIDS Conference has become a fixed project of the youth network. At every conference, you can see the beautiful elegance of young people in China who advocate AIDS prevention.

Collect "evidence" of youth health education

In 2007, Tang Kun gave up his previous choice — — Peking University’s eight-year doctor of basic medicine. After getting my undergraduate degree, I applied for the global health direction of Harvard University. "Being a doctor was my dream before college, and participating in china youth network changed my later study track and even my life track." After studying for a master’s degree in population and international health at Harvard, Tang Kun went to Oxford to study for a doctorate in epidemiology.

"As a public health practitioner, when designing a project (service), if there is no participation of the client, that is, young people, you don’t know what his needs are? On the one hand, this is the embodiment of rights. On the other hand, it is possible to provide them with better services by listening to the voices of young people and treating them as partners. "

In a class on health system at Harvard, the lecturer was the former health minister of Mexico. He told the young students in the audience that his dream from his youth was to make a developing country like Mexico enjoy health services for all. This deeply touched Tang Kun. His study and research abroad made him more systematically realize the integration of research methods and practice. And his ultimate goal is to return to the motherland and serve the young people in China.

"The research and dissemination of adolescent sexual and reproductive health is more based on experience and lacks evidence." After returning to China after graduating from Ph.D., Tang Kun and the China Family Planning Association jointly launched the Survey on Sexual and Reproductive Health of China University. Through the method of online questionnaire survey, 18,000 college students aged 18-25 registered in Chinese mainland universities were surveyed, covering more than 130 universities in China. Through data analysis, the best practice working mode of youth health is summarized, which provides evidence-based research evidence for youth health education.

In mid-October 2018, Tang Kun was hired as a member of the Expert Advisory Committee on Child Health Indicators of the World Health Organization. In the next two years, together with 11 members from other countries, he will set monitoring indicators for global child health and provide evidence support and policy suggestions for the global realization of sustainable development goals related to child health.

Choice is changing individuals, families, countries and the whole world, and it will continue to change all this. Tang Kun said that his every choice seems to be inseparable from the youth group, and he hopes to become an epidemiologist in this field.

Shanghai No.2 Intermediate People’s Court held a trial in the first instance to hear the fund-raising fraud case of Shanghai Tongjiang Investment Group Co., Ltd. and Zhang Baoguo.

  Cctv newsAccording to WeChat WeChat official account of Shanghai No.2 Intermediate People’s Court, on June 15th, the Shanghai No.2 Intermediate People’s Court held a trial in the first instance to hear the fund-raising fraud case of the defendant Shanghai Tongjiang Investment Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Tongjiang Group) and the defendant Zhang Baoguo.

  The public prosecutor alleged that the defendant Tongjiang Group, the defendant Zhang Baoguo, together with related companies such as You Wenkai (sentenced) and Hexing Financial Holdings Investment Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Hexing Company), have issued wealth management products by setting up a fund pool, fictitious investment projects or creditor’s rights, repeated issuance, etc. since 2014, and illegally raised funds from the public with high returns and promises to pay principal and interest when due, so as to maintain the capital chain. By February 2019, Hexing Company had illegally raised funds from the public totaling RMB 28.74 billion (all the following currencies are RMB), most of which were used to pay investors’ principal and interest, be occupied by affiliated companies, pay high sales commissions and company operations, etc. A small part of the funds were used by Zhang Baoguo personally for buying houses and stock trading, and the unpaid principal reached RMB 8.12 billion at the time of the incident, involving more than 19,000 investors.

  The public prosecutor believes that Tongjiang Group, the defendant unit, illegally raised funds by fraud for the purpose of illegal possession, and the amount is extremely huge. As the person in charge directly responsible for Tongjiang Group, the defendant Zhang Baoguo should be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of fund-raising fraud.

  During the trial, the public prosecution agency produced relevant evidence, and the defendant Tongjiang Group, the defendant Zhang Baoguo and their defenders expressed their opinions on the facts, charges and sentencing accused by the public prosecution agency.

  More than 340 people, including the defendant’s family members and fund-raising participants, attended the trial.

The latest vaccination plan of COVID-19 vaccine announced that eligible people can be vaccinated after 3 months of infection.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 10 (Reporter Dong Ruifeng, Li Heng) The reporter learned from the National Health and Wellness Commission on April 10 that the Comprehensive Group of Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council recently issued the Vaccination Work Plan to Respond to the Recent Infection in Covid-19, and made corresponding arrangements for the target population, time interval and vaccine selection. The plan is clear, and the focus of vaccination at this stage is to fill the gap in immune level for different target groups and further reduce the risk of severe illness and death.

According to the plan, people who are not infected and have not completed the established immunization program will complete the follow-up vaccination according to the established immunization program and its time interval. This part of the population includes people aged 3 to 17 who are uninfected and have not completed the basic immunization, people over 18 who are uninfected and have not completed the first dose of booster immunization, and people over 18 who are uninfected and have not completed the second dose of booster immunization (high-risk people with infection, people over 60 years old, people with serious basic diseases and people with low immunity).

Among them, for people over 18 who have completed basic immunization, the interval of the first dose of booster immunization is adjusted to more than 3 months.

For people who have been infected and have not completed basic immunization, according to the plan, one dose of vaccine can be inoculated after 3 months of infection.

Experts from the Comprehensive Group of the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism said that the overall epidemic situation in the country is sporadic, but the Covid-19 has not disappeared, and the spread of the virus among people still persists. With the change of epidemic situation, whether vaccination is needed at this stage should be determined according to infection, previous vaccination history, age, physical condition and other factors.

According to reports, the protective antibodies obtained by vaccination and infection will decay with time. From a global perspective, it is a common understanding that Covid-19 should be vaccinated three months after infection, which is beneficial to provide better protection for people with high risk of severe illness and death in the subsequent epidemic.

There are many technical routes in China, and Covid-19 vaccine has been approved for use one after another. The results show that sequential immunization can provide more comprehensive protection for individuals.
