　　1. It is common for couriers to earn 6,000 yuan a week during the Spring Festival.

　　A courier in Beijing revealed to a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily that he chose to stay in Beijing during the Spring Festival and work overtime to deliver express delivery, with a weekly income of about 6,000 yuan. After the holiday, the basic salary of couriers also increased. Recruitment information from many courier companies shows that courier positions with salary of over 10,000 are common. Companies such as YTO, ZTO, Shentong, Yunda, and Best offer couriers higher salaries.

　　After the Spring Festival, all express delivery companies gradually returned to normal. In order to thank the couriers who returned to Beijing to start construction in time after the Spring Festival, major courier companies have introduced incentive measures. Key urban branches of express delivery companies such as ZTO, YTO, Yunda, and Shentong, such as Beijing branch, have each prepared millions of yuan to improve the welfare benefits of couriers. The current express delivery companies such as YTO, ZTO, Shentong, Yunda, and Best recruitment employees currently recruiting are between 3,000 yuan and 12,000 yuan, and the peak season is above 15,000 yuan.

　　4. Foreign media: China's retail industry still faces many challenges in the wave of "unmanned"

　　Unmanned retail stores are usually small in size and have limited products, so consumers are likely to give up on going because they can’t buy all the products they want in one store. In addition, with the booming development of e-commerce and food delivery platforms, home delivery has become the choice of more and more people, and how many people are willing to go downstairs to unmanned convenience stores to shop is also a question mark.

　　6. German media: Chinese "Buddhist" youth like to be alone and give birth to a loneliness economy

　　According to a recent report by the German Business Daily website, it is crazy that they have now formed an informal large group themselves and even created their own economic branch: the lonely economy. They are well educated, young and love to buy and buy-but please let them be alone. The service industry has to make adjustments to this. Nowadays, many shopping malls in China have single-person mini KTVs, with about 20,000 of them nationwide, and the number has at least doubled this year. The gym has also begun to offer single rooms to block out sweat, noise and boredom from customers. In places like the subway where you cannot be alone, you can rely on your smartphone and headphones to maintain your own one-person world.

　　German media said that these days are the Chinese New Year Festival, and every family is reunited and shared a family banquet, laughing and joy. It is precisely during this period that more and more young people hope to withdraw from the traditional collective life. They want to enjoy quietness—not just a moment, but forever peace.

　　9. The live answering circle has lost more than 100 million yuan in advertising fees. In the future, it may be certified.

　　In just two months, the live answering questions standing on the gust of the wind was "cold".

　　Live answering questions was the first trend in 2018, but in just two months, it went from being popular quickly to falling off. A reporter from Securities Daily found that during the Spring Festival, many live answering questions disappeared, and replaced by some "bloody battle mahjong" mini games.

　　From "top meeting" to "million heroes", and from "cheese superman" to "million winners", the prize is as high as one million yuan. With the viral spread caused by the mechanism of inviting friends to give away resurrection cards, live answering questions quickly became popular. After the first wave of platforms tasted the sweetness, it attracted the replication of models from other platforms. Now, this trend of following the trend is gradually fading.

　　On the eve of the Spring Festival, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television officially issued a notice, pouring "cold water" on the popular live answers. The notice requires strengthening the regulation of online audio-visual live broadcast questions. The notice clearly states that no organization or individual who does not hold the "Information Network Audio-Visual Program License" (hereinafter referred to as the "Audio-Visual License") shall not open online live answering programs.
