- Always wear seat belts, both front and back
- Wearing a helmet and fastening the strap while riding motorcycles or e-bikes

- If you get pricked by a nail or splinter, or if a wound gets dirty with soil, seek treatment the same day and ask whether a tetanus shot is needed

- Don’t treat “survival” as a safety net: after ingesting paraquat or inhaling carbon monoxide, emergency care can save lives, but it rarely preserves lung or brain function
- Don’t bet on “a few days of rest” after a fall from height: most patients admitted to a trauma ICU survive, though at a cost measured in years
- Don’t trade “losing one kidney is no big deal” for cash: the remaining kidney has to do the work of two, and 86% of kidney sellers later say their health got worse

- Fit the guard, wear goggles with a face shield, and hold an angle grinder with both hands; do not fit a woodworking saw blade to cut wood

2. 不要慢慢死

- Drinking one or two servings of milk or yogurt daily

- Seek assessment for disruptive menopausal hot flushes and night sweats; do not self-start hormones or use them to prevent chronic disease

- Cut back on draining relationships and learn to say no to unwanted requests

- Best low-cost actions when you’re feeling down: move, get sunlight, stick to a schedule, talk to someone, call 12356
- Treat police officers, doctors, and bank tellers as rule‑following workers, not as archetypes: paperwork and deadlines — not emotions — drive results
- Don’t make “how others are doing” a daily habit: set limits on apps that show peers’ updates or turn them off
- When you feel like “everyone saw me make a fool of myself,” cut that estimate in half
- Treat “others expect me to be perfect” as a symptom, not a fact
- When angry, don’t try to vent by smashing things, punching a bag, or going for a run — first calm your body down

- Not buying lottery tickets
- Walk away the moment you see “high returns,” “guaranteed returns,” or “sure profits”
- Avoid making minimum payments on credit cards, and never sign up for installment plans or consumer loans for purchases; if borrowing is unavoidable, first convert the interest rate to an annual percentage rate before comparing options

- Don’t put all your money into one stock, one platform, or one property
- Individuals paying income tax at a rate of 10% or higher can open a private pension account; up to 12,000 yuan per year can be deducted from taxable income. For those paying no tax or only a 3% rate, opening such an account is not worthwhile
- Paying for gym visits individually or on short-term plans is only worthwhile if you have a consistent attendance record spanning over a year
- Sign a written contract before paying a deposit; if a business faces risks, it must stop taking payments, and you have the right to get back any unused balance if it shuts down
- Implementing a 24-hour cooling-off period for non-essential big-ticket purchases; making full use of the seven-day no-questions-asked return policy for online shopping
- Don’t fall for “strikethrough prices” or impulse buying during sales
- It’s better to choose a non‑return insurance plan and treat any “refunds” or dividends as non‑guaranteed benefits
- Get sufficient third‑party liability coverage: the mandatory insurance limits are uniform nationwide and relatively low, so any excess must be paid out of your own pocket
- Set aside an emergency fund equal to 3–6 months of living expenses in a readily accessible account
- Run a quick comparison before paying off your mortgage — don’t rely on gut feeling
- When shopping online, follow platform rules and laws — not influencers or “positive reviews”
- If something goes wrong after buying from a livestream, first ask the platform for the seller’s and influencer’s details — they’re required to provide them
- If you buy unsafe food, you can demand ten times the purchase price as compensation; if the amount is under 1,000 yuan, you’re still entitled to 1,000 yuan

- Bracelets, jade, luxury watches, and collectibles should be judged by “how much you spend” rather than “how much you save”

- Random sales such as blind boxes and gacha games are treated as “money that won’t come back”
- If you care about what’s in your food, buy pre-packaged products: loose goods at retail counters aren’t legally required to list ingredients
- Stocks that have lost value should also be sold according to pre‑set rules — don’t try to even out costs by buying more
- Planning to invest in overseas assets such as U.S. stocks? Use QDII funds or the Hong Kong Stock Connect program — don’t open accounts with foreign brokers, and don’t use your annual foreign exchange quota for buying foreign stocks
- Only buy insurance for losses your savings can’t cover; use an emergency fund for losses you can afford
- If someone at home depends on your income, buy term life insurance for the breadwinner first — not for your kids

- Don’t force yourself to drink water just to hit “8 glasses a day”
- Don’t spend money on fortune‑telling, tarot, or astrology to make decisions
- Don’t buy blue-light-blocking glasses to “protect your vision,” and don’t believe claims that staring at screens for months will ruin your eyes — but severe eye pain, redness, and swelling require immediate medical attention
- Don’t treat blood donation as a health habit: claims that it “detoxifies, lowers cholesterol, and prevents heart attacks” lack randomized trial support, while frequent donation truly causes iron deficiency
- Don’t rely on generic health check packages to prevent disease; instead, get the evidence‑based screenings appropriate for your age and gender
- Don’t start taking uric‑acid‑lowering drugs just because a checkup shows high uric acid but you’ve never had symptoms
- Don’t have a gallbladder removed prophylactically just because an ultrasound found gallstones but you’ve never felt any pain

- Don’t believe that “willpower is like a muscle that runs out after use”
- Don’t expect skipping breakfast or the 16:8 intermittent fasting method to help you control your weight; instead, pick a meal timing you can stick to long-term
- Don’t believe claims that masturbation harms health or that abstaining improves wellbeing; what really matters is whether it interferes with sleep, work, or relationships
- Don’t spend money on “sexual orientation conversion” or “gay conversion therapy,” and don’t send your family members to such programs
- Do not rely on lifting-technique training alone to prevent back pain; manage loads and maintain exercise
- Do not assume extra calcium, vitamin D or bone broth speeds fracture healing; treat identified deficiency with clinical guidance
7. 没钱的时候怎么活
- Apply online for unemployment benefits if you’ve lost your job
- First file a complaint with the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, then apply for final and binding one-instance arbitration — both options are free, and most cases yield results within a few months
- If you can’t afford legal fees, apply for free legal aid – cases involving unpaid wages, alimony, or workplace injuries all qualify
- When you have nowhere else to turn, go to a shelter – they provide food, lodging, and even a ticket home
- Use free public employment services and gig platforms first — avoid paid agencies
- Apply for emergency assistance when unexpected crises occur
- Apply for dibao if your household income falls below the local threshold
- Apply for the two disability subsidies using a disability certificate
- Do not miss the annual 400‑yuan payment for basic medical insurance; subsidies are available for low‑income households
- When suffering from a serious illness, first use yibao, dibao, medical assistance, and register for cross‑regional treatment — avoid online loans
- Replace a lost ID card immediately; get a temporary ID if you need it urgently
- After registering as unemployed, seek recognition as a person facing employment difficulties to receive social insurance subsidies or placement in public-interest jobs
- Apply for vocational training subsidies, employment internship subsidies, and social insurance subsidies during unemployment — don’t pay for training courses out of pocket
- Job hunting isn’t just about sending resumes — use a systematic approach: learn skills, set goals, and ask for help
- No deposits, no ID retention, no “training loans”, no pyramid schemes, no usurious loans
- Public rental housing for those with housing difficulties
- Keep food and housing costs to a minimum: opt for monthly shared housing instead of daily rentals, and cook at home or use senior meal services rather than ordering takeout
- Do not panic about interrupted social-insurance contributions: pension years accumulate; health coverage follows its own rules
- Even those who have served time, filed for bankruptcy, or ended up on a blacklist still have legal avenues to start over — provided they complete all required procedures
- Before facing a serious illness, consider adding a one‑year medical or critical‑illness policy to your basic medical insurance; make sure it includes the phrase “guaranteed renewal”
- If there’s nowhere else to sleep, 24‑hour venues can only serve as a temporary overnight stop; shelters should be the first choice
- If wages are owed to you, first figure out who actually employed you: unlicensed workshops and labor subcontractors still go through labor inspection; only work for a household or individual as a private helper belongs in court
8. 别把自己搭进去：法律与财产安全
- After a traffic accident, stop, help the injured, and call the police — don’t flee
- If you realize you’ve been scammed, call 110 or 96110 right away to request a stop‑payment — don’t try to investigate on your own first
- Remember the core anti-fraud rules: don’t trust unsolicited calls, don’t share personal information, don’t click on suspicious links, and always verify any transfer requests. All seven of the most common scam types follow this same pattern
- Seeing a face on video or hearing a voice on the phone does not count as verification; if a transfer is involved, hang up first and call back using an old number saved in your contacts
- If accused or summoned, hire a lawyer first — don’t settle privately or delete records
- Voluntary surrender and truthful disclosure may reduce a sentence; evading an opened case does not make prosecution expire
- Don’t touch the steering wheel after drinking — even for e‑bikes or “just moving the car a bit”
- Never lend your bank cards, SIM cards, or payment accounts to anyone — “money laundering” is not a side hustle
- Checking your credit report twice a year for free helps spot any loans or cards you didn’t apply for
- If a fight breaks out, call the police first — the one who strikes first almost always loses
- You may defend yourself against an unavoidable attack, but only strike the person who is actually attacking — stop when he stops
- Who to hold accountable — unpaid wages, wrongful dismissal, financial losses — filing complaints, arbitration, or lawsuits instead of taking revenge
- Do not harm uninvolved people: attacks on crowds can carry severe public-safety penalties
- Thoughts such as “find a scapegoat” or “die together” must be treated as a medical emergency: leave the scene, hand over car keys and knives to someone else, and call 12356
- Take threats against family or children seriously and seek help; assessment and admission have legal safeguards
- Don’t curse, spread rumors, or share unverified content online; if you’re a victim of online abuse, document evidence first then report it to police
- Read the document thoroughly before signing; never sign on behalf of others or on blank paper
- Write a clear loan agreement when lending money; think carefully before agreeing to be a guarantor
- Time limits for legal action: 3 years for civil lawsuits, 1 year for labor arbitration; once the deadline passes, a simple “statute of limitations exceeded” claim can block your case
- If you’re being sued or have a court order against you, report all your assets truthfully and repay as much as you can — don’t transfer your house or money to relatives, friends, or companies
- If you’re subject to spending restrictions or listed on the dishonesty registry, first find out which rule applies and request removal if possible
- If scammed while shopping online or via second-hand markets, first file a complaint with the platform, then report it to police, and finally decide whether to sue
- Think carefully before and after making large gifts in romantic relationships or marriage
- Transfer betrothal gifts via payment with clear notes; keep chat records; money demanded under marriage can be reclaimed
- No need to worry about premarital assets — clearly define property additions and parental contributions
- Check a person’s marital status before getting married; those who use marriage as a pretext to defraud money can be prosecuted for fraud
- For home appliance repairs, vehicle inspections, and renovations: always ask for a quote first and stay on site throughout the process
- Don’t be a “nominal legal representative” — don’t lend your ID to register a company
- Don’t carry items for strangers when traveling, and don’t accept packages of unknown origin
- Leash your dog and follow local rabies-vaccination and registration rules
- If the other person is intoxicated, unconscious, or under 14, do not have sex with them
- If someone threatens to call the police, post intimate photos, or inform your workplace unless you pay up — don’t give them a single cent and don’t delete any records; call the police right away
- If someone falsely accuses you, you can seek legal consequences: up to 5 days of detention for minor violations, up to 3 years in prison for criminal acts
- Insufficient evidence alone warrants acquittal; coerced confessions must be excluded; appeals and retrials remain possible after conviction
- For individuals released from detention after a case is dropped, charges are withdrawn, or they are acquitted, applying for state compensation is possible — compensation is calculated on a daily basis
- If you’re a victim seeking compensation, use channels like 12315, file a lawsuit, or hire a lawyer. Never meet the offending party alone, and don’t phrase “paying money” and “I won’t expose you” as a single condition
- Cyberbullying: First enable protections, gather evidence, then choose between court injunctions, private prosecution, or police reports
- The legal route of “buying insurance for a family member first, then harming them” is completely blocked: you get zero money, and the perpetrator faces multiple charges including intentional homicide and insurance fraud
- You must obtain a case receipt when reporting a crime; if no case is opened, you must receive a written notice. You can request a reconsideration within 7 days and a review within another 7 days. The procuratorate can also order the police to open a case
- Don’t give money or cards to investigators, law enforcers: offering bribes is a crime, and bribing oversight, law enforcement, and judicial staff is punished even more severely
- For calls and in-person talks where things might turn sour, start recording right away: you can record conversations you personally take part in without needing prior consent from the other party
- In an emergency at the scene, first film a wide shot, then capture the spatial relationships, and finally record the damage and injuries — keep the original photos and videos
- Domestic violence: Call the police to get an incident report, then apply to court for a protection order — no divorce required and it’s free
- Family members have gambling debts — don’t rush to pay them: gambling debts aren’t legally protected, nor are loans taken for gambling considered joint marital debts
- Don’t agree when an acquaintance asks you to “help by doing a facial scan or acting as a witness” to secure a loan, or to read out a verification code — this is known as “AB loan” fraud. In this scheme, you are the borrower, not a guarantor
- Install proper locks on doors and windows and an outdoor motion‑sensor light; always actually lock them: these steps help prevent burglary, but a single alarm alone won’t do much
9. 普通人容易踩的法律红线
- Do not share unverified messages about disasters, epidemics, or police incidents in groups; do not photoshop images or use AI to generate fake scene pictures
- Do not post, share, or comment images, memes, or remarks that insult heroes and martyrs, nor make jokes about the national flag or anthem
- After viewing content on foreign websites, simply close the page — do not screenshot, share, repost, or discuss it in any groups or comment sections
- Watching porn alone is fine, but don’t post it in groups, sell “resources,” or create groups
- Part-time jobs that ask you to use your own card to receive payments, withdraw cash, or transfer money — no matter how much extra pay they offer, avoid them
- Some people try to get you to “package loan applicants” for them and offer a commission based on the loan amount — don’t fall for it
- Keeping found items and not using them for personal gain; returning lost phones, wallets, or cash to owners or police
- Use your real identity to claim discounts — don’t register fake accounts or exploit loopholes to get more
- Never throw anything from balconies or windows — cigarette butts, trash bags, and bottles all count
- Do not buy imitation guns, BB guns, or air rifles online; avoid “toy guns” of unknown origin
- Register drones with your real name first; never fly near airports, military zones, or restricted urban airspace, and don’t tamper with altitude limits
- Do not secretly film others, nor install cameras in rented apartments, homestays, or hotel rooms
- Mahjong and poker can be played — no rake, no banker role, no organizing paid games, no online gambling
- Do not eat wild animals; do not buy, sell, or keep protected species as pets
- You cannot detain or confine someone to collect a debt, nor follow them home and refuse to leave
- Do not lend your ID card, do not use someone else’s ID card, and do not register, open accounts, or buy tickets using another person’s documents
- Cooperate when stopped or taken away by police — don’t push, hit, or grab their body cameras; especially if you’ve been drinking, stay calm
- Sexual relations with anyone under 14 are illegal; “she consented” is not a defense
- Do the math before you hit someone: detention, fines, and prison time
- If parents cannot care for their newborn, the only legal option is to register the adoption with the civil affairs bureau: paying someone to hand over the child may be prosecuted as child trafficking, while abandoning the child constitutes abandonment
- Don’t fabricate accidents or exaggerate damages to defraud insurance payouts: this is insurance fraud, and anyone helping you testify, assess damage, or repair your vehicle is equally liable
- Don’t sell your own organs, and don’t help others find donors: a kidney brings in just over $20,000, but the same kidney can be sold to a patient for $200,000. All proceeds are seized, plus a fine of 10–20 times the transaction amount
- Don’t engage in prostitution: the default penalty is 10–15 days in detention, not just a fine
- Distributing unauthorized Chinese-dubbed comics, pirated movies/TV shows, cloud storage links, and pirated e-books — even for free — is illegal; adding ads or charging membership fees can lead to criminal charges
- To publish or monetize fan works, first obtain permission from the original creator, or replace borrowed characters’ names and relationships with your own
- Don’t buy batons, stun guns, knives, or pepper spray for self‑defence and carry them with you; even keeping them in your car counts as possession
10. 恋爱和结婚划不划算
- Getting to know more people rather than fixating on just one: You can’t predict compatibility before meeting someone
- Stop after a clear refusal — continued pursuit is a public order violation, not “sincerity”
- Judging whether someone is interested: focus on actions, not “signals” — who initiates, plans, and follows up
- Whether a relationship is good or not depends mainly on how you feel within it, not on your partner’s attributes
- To build closeness, have two people take turns answering a series of progressively deeper questions — no script needed
- Long-distance relationships aren’t worse than local ones — the real challenge comes in the first three months after moving in together
- Check registration statistics before listening to elders: what do “marriage rate” and “divorce rate” actually mean?
- Accounting for health benefits while adjusting for observational data
- Discussing labor division before marriage helps clarify unpaid work responsibilities
- First check the default legal rules regarding money and property, then decide whether to make a written agreement
- When parents pay for a house, they should clearly state whether it’s a loan or a gift at the time of transfer
- Money borrowed by a spouse in a large amount — if you didn’t sign or later acknowledge it, it doesn’t automatically become your debt
- Obtaining a marriage certificate requires only an ID card and a signed declaration — no household register needed, no fees, and issuance is immediate
- Undergoing a premarital medical exam: if a serious illness is present, it must be disclosed before marriage registration
- Calculating the cost of walking away: Divorce by mutual agreement requires a 30-day cooling-off period, while divorce via litigation has strict legal prerequisites
- Make a separate tally for the benefits to your elders when they get married — don’t mix it with your own records
- Treating relationship quality as a health factor: focus on the issue, not the person — avoid insults and sarcasm
- Same-sex partners should prepare a power of attorney, a voluntary guardianship agreement, and a will while both are still lucid: legally, you are not considered close relatives, so without these documents you’ll have no right to sign on behalf of each other or to inherit anything
- Don’t marry while hiding your sexual orientation, and don’t treat “marriage of convenience” as an easy shortcut: legally, it is a real marriage, and the only way out is divorce
- When a relationship is stuck in endless arguments and silent treatment, couples therapy can help — waiting alone rarely does
11. 程序员和技术人容易踩的红线
- Before acting, consider whether a manufacturer, platform or company could report it; seek a criminal lawyer promptly if investigated
- Refraining from creating or selling game cheats and aids, including AI tools that only capture screenshots without touching memory
- Do not write or sell scripts for ticket snatching, flash sales, fake orders, or coupon farming — even if they merely “automate button clicks”
- The crawler only accesses publicly available pages that require no login; it does not attempt to bypass anti-scraping measures or handle any personal information, and any data it collects is never sold
- Refuse development orders for gambling, fraud, or adult-content apps; do not set up payment gateways or unblock accounts for such “clients”
- Upon leaving a job, return all account access rights; do not delete databases, leave backdoors, or alter password protection systems — even if the employer owes you wages
- Do not take source code, client lists, or technical documents upon leaving; do not upload them to personal cloud drives or reuse them at new employers
- Do not run your own programs on others’ computers, servers, or cameras; do not use company machines for mining
- Testing someone else’s systems without written permission — “good intentions” and “reporting afterward” are not excuses
- Vulnerabilities must be reported per regulations; no details, exploit tools, or disclosure to foreign entities before patching
- No selling of tools for bypassing firewalls or VPN accounts, no setting up such nodes for others
- After signing a non-compete agreement, if the employer fails to pay compensation monthly, send a written notice; if payment still doesn’t come after 3 months, you may terminate the agreement. Workers who never handled any trade secrets can request that the clause be declared invalid
- Code written during work hours using company resources belongs to the company; personal open‑source projects should be done in your own time and on your own equipment, without mixing them
- Using open-source code such as GPL in products: Open-source it per the license or switch licenses — don’t treat this as “no one cares”
- Only collect personal data strictly necessary for the app’s operation; consent from guardians is required for users under 14, and the privacy policy must be clearly written
- Before launching a website or app, complete ICP registration and retain logs for at least 6 months per classification protection requirements
- Before offering generative AI services to the public, conduct required safety assessments and algorithm registration; mark all generated content
- Tools that automatically skip or block ads from other apps — free and offline — may still be deemed unfair competition
- Operating AI proxy sites to resell foreign large model APIs at low prices is illegal: a Shanghai operator was criminally detained
12. 创业与做生意：别把家底赔进去
- Only invest money you can afford to lose — never use family savings or borrowed funds
- Never sign personal guarantees for corporate loans; spouses should definitely avoid signing too
- Choosing the right legal entity before launching: sole proprietors and general partners are fully liable, while limited liability companies offer “limited” liability
- Improperly listed shareholders: never hold shares on someone else’s behalf
- Check the Ministry of Commerce records before signing; obtain written disclosures and include a “cooling-off period” in the contract
- Determine the business name, location, scope of operations, and registered capital before registration; with complete documents, you can obtain the business license on the spot
- Businesses requiring licenses must wait until they obtain one
- Figure out which category you fall into: producing or preparing food requires a permit, selling only pre-packaged goods needs a filing, while selling fresh meat and vegetables needs no permit at all
- Packaging food for sale makes it prepackaged food: labels must include production date, shelf life, and ingredient list without exception
- General foods must not claim therapeutic effects: this applies to labels, instructions, ads, and live-stream scripts alike
- The food industry faces criminal penalties: selling meat from diseased animals or products exceeding safety limits is already a crime; adding toxic or harmful non-food substances carries a minimum five-year sentence regardless of revenue
- Once you obtain a business license, you must file tax returns on schedule — even if you have no income, you still need to submit a return with all zeros
- Invoices must reflect actual transactions; small taxpayers can fully utilize tax exemptions
- Scammers pretending to be tax officials demanding payments are fraudsters; tax filings must be done via the e-Tax Service or by calling 12366
- Writing “deposit” instead of “advance payment” in contracts, specifying penalty amounts, and treating credit terms as loans
- Sign a written contract within the first month of employment; register for social insurance within 30 days
- Wages must be paid according to contracts and laws; raises, loans, and bonuses all require written documentation
- Sell first, then produce: use pre-orders and small orders to confirm demand before investing in manufacturing
- Run the prototype through the production checklist before starting full production
- Keep copies of invoices and supplier documentation for every shipment; avoid purchasing goods priced significantly below market rates: if an employee buys counterfeit products, the employer can still be held legally responsible
- Whether creating designs yourself or purchasing licensed artwork, simply changing colors or adding icons does not count as “modifications” for copyright purposes
- Follow procedures at work; think carefully about who bears responsibility before offering unsolicited help
- Exit the process as planned when losses occur: opt for simplified deregistration when possible, or file for bankruptcy if debts exceed assets — don’t leave things unattended
- Before paying for third‑party store management, e‑commerce training, or “dropshipping” services, be sure to ask whether extra fees will be required and where the sales figures actually come from
13. 紧急情况：先做什么
- Immediate chest compressions can save lives when someone collapses and stops breathing — call 120 and fetch an AED too
- Elderly falls: if someone falls, first kneel down, call out to them, and dial 120 — don’t rush to help them up. It is perfectly legal to walk away from strangers; once you stop, however, you must not touch or move them
- Sudden facial drooping, weakness in one arm, and slurred speech — call 120 immediately; don’t wait or drive yourself
- Sudden dizziness, double vision, loss of vision in one eye, or inability to touch one’s nose — all warrant calling 120 for stroke suspicion
- One eye suddenly goes dark, as if a curtain has been pulled shut; even if it clears up within minutes, seek emergency care for stroke on the same day
- One eye is swollen, painful, red; there’s a rainbow halo around lights; plus headache, nausea, and vomiting — so an emergency eye visit is needed that same day
- Chest pressure, tightness, or heaviness lasting more than 15 minutes without relief — call 120; do not drive yourself
- Sudden tearing pain that spreads from the chest to the back and waist — call 120 and describe it as “pain moving downward”

- If a carbon monoxide alarm goes off, or if several people in a room suddenly get headaches, nausea, or dizziness, get everyone outside before calling for help
- If someone accidentally ingests detergent, pesticides, or medicine, do not induce vomiting — take the container and seek medical help right away; if it splashes into the eyes or onto the skin, rinse thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes
- In case of splashes of acids, alkalis or other chemicals on the body, immediately remove contaminated clothing and rinse with copious amounts of running water; for eyes, gently pull the eyelids apart and rinse thoroughly before leaving the scene
- Dizziness, nausea, lack of sweating or confusion in high heat — move to shade immediately, remove clothing and apply cool water to cool down; do not give water to anyone who is unconscious, call 120 right away
- For people suffering from heatstroke, as long as they remain conscious, they should drink small amounts of cool, lightly salted water or sports drinks at frequent intervals — never gulp down large quantities. Alcohol and sugary drinks must be avoided
- Stay low to the ground during a fire, test doors before opening them, and never use elevators — once outside, don’t look back
- Upon seeing someone drowning, shout for help and call 110/120, then reach out a pole or floating objects — never enter the water yourself
- If someone is choking and can’t speak, stand behind them and perform 5 back blows followed by 5 abdominal thrusts; if they collapse, start CPR immediately
- If lost or stranded in the Gobi Desert, a desert, or any remote area, stay put next to your vehicle. First, transmit your location, then shield yourself from the sun and retain body heat, conserve water, and avoid wandering off
- Shivering, slurred speech, and unsteady walking are signs of hypothermia; change into dry clothes, wrap up, warm the torso first, and give sweet hot drinks instead of alcohol
- After a snake bite, stay still, remove rings and watches, and rush to a hospital offering antivenom — no cutting, no suction, no tight binding
- First, figure out what kind of building you’re in during an earthquake: if it meets seismic safety standards, stay right where you are; if it’s an old structure prone to collapse, head outside right away
- Animal encounters: distinguish bear guidance from unverified boar and dog advice
- If caught in a thunderstorm outdoors, get into a hard-topped vehicle or building; avoid ridges, lone trees, water surfaces, and metal objects
- Gradually increase your sleeping altitude when heading to high elevations; if symptoms worsen, descend immediately — don’t tough it out
- To remove a tick, use fine-point tweezers to pull it straight out along the skin — don’t apply oil, don’t use heat
- Always boil any water taken from the wild before drinking it; one minute of boiling is sufficient — there’s no need to extend the time just because you’re at high altitude
- If a stranger demands money in a remote area, hand over cash, avoid any confrontation, note their features, and call police after escaping
- If you stumble upon a group fight, walk away immediately — don’t try to break it up, don’t stand around watching, and don’t pick up any weapons on the ground. If you want to call the police, retreat to a safe distance and dial 110
- If you may have been exposed to HIV, get PEP within 72 hours — the sooner, the better
- After saving someone and getting injured or incurring expenses, first seek compensation from the perpetrator and yibao; then apply for recognition as a person acting in the public interest
- Knives, rebar, glass piercing the body – apply pressure around the foreign object to stop bleeding; do not pull it out

- After sexual assault, go to a safe place and call 110; do not shower, wash clothes, or tidy the room before a medical exam, and visit a hospital within 72 hours
- When a baby under 1 year is choking and cannot cry out, alternate 5 back blows (face-down) and 5 chest thrusts — never press the belly
- If a baby under 1 is unresponsive and not breathing normally, call 120 on speakerphone and perform infant CPR: 30 compressions, then 2 breaths
14. 账号与信息安全
- Enable two-factor authentication on email, payment, and social accounts; prioritize phone pop-ups over SMS codes
- Use a unique password solely for your email
- Set a screen lock on your phone and a PIN for the SIM card
- Follow these steps if you lose your phone: block the SIM card, remotely lock it, change passwords, file a police report, and freeze your bank cards if needed
- If your card is fraudulently used, report it and freeze the card first, then demand compensation from the bank: proving “you made the transaction” is the bank’s responsibility
- Periodically check the devices logged into your account and any authorized apps, then remove the ones you no longer use
- Don’t tap “Allow all” just to use an app: the data isn’t mandatory, and refusing to share it won’t block service access
- You have the right to view, copy, correct, and delete your personal information; if refused, you can sue
- You’re not required to use facial recognition: if other options exist, they must offer you alternatives if you refuse

15. 租房与买房

- For second-hand home sales where the agent collects the payment, the funds must be deposited into a dedicated transaction account opened by the agency at a bank
- Don’t rent a subdivided apartment: the smallest legal rental unit is the original room as designed; kitchens, bathrooms, balconies must not be used for living
- Urban residents with hukou who want to live in the countryside can only rent rural houses — they must not buy homestead land or houses on it
16. 得了慢性病之后怎么活
- Take medication exactly as prescribed — don’t stop just because you feel better
- First get outpatient chronic disease certification, then register for cross-regional medical care — hypertension, diabetes, cancer radiotherapy/chemotherapy, dialysis, and anti-rejection treatment can then be covered by yibao across regions
- Follow the intervals recommended by your doctor for follow‑up visits, and record every measurement in the same notebook
- Don’t stop proper treatment to try folk remedies or supplements
- For patients with stable chronic conditions, community clinics can issue up to 12 weeks’ worth of medication at one time
- Before signing up for a family doctor in your community, find out which services are covered by yibao and which you’ll have to pay for out of pocket
- Get a dilated eye exam right after a diabetes diagnosis, then follow your doctor’s recommended schedule; check your feet once a year
- People who have had kidney stones should drink 2.5–3 liters of water daily and keep salt intake under 6 grams
- Long‑term use of uric‑acid‑lowering drugs after a gout diagnosis to keep levels below 360 µmol/L
17. 家里有老人
- While the elderly are still lucid, designate a future guardian in writing
- Make a will — remember that later ones override earlier ones, and notarized wills no longer take priority
- Keep the elderly person’s money in a separate account and set a rule requiring two people to approve any large withdrawals
- A ready-made phrase for seniors to deflect unwanted offers
- Avoid any “investment-based senior care” schemes that require upfront payments: card enrollment, prepaid care fees, buying senior housing units, travel-based care programs, and sales of senior products all fall under the same category of illegal fundraising
- Apart from the housing reverse mortgage insurance offered by insurers, you should avoid all other “housing-for-pension” schemes — never mortgage your home to buy financial products
- For elderly individuals at home who are bedridden or severely disabled, apply to the local yibao (basic medical insurance) office for long-term care insurance; it is not limited to seniors only
- For families with someone bedridden at home, pressure ulcers are a top concern: use an electric alternating-pressure air mattress, turn the patient regularly, and check bony areas daily
- Seek an eye specialist's assessment when cataracts impair an older person's vision; take care between operations
- Help older dog walkers hold the leash without wrapping it around their hand and train the dog not to lunge
18. 养孩子划不划算
- Start by claiming what you’re entitled to: the national dibao program gives 3,600 yuan per child per year until the child turns 3
- Maternity leave lasts 98 days; maternity benefits are paid by the maternity insurance fund based on the employer’s average monthly wage from the prior year
- Important to know: Employers cannot cut pay or fire workers due to pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding
- The time-cost calculation is based on “whose time is being used,” not on “how hard it is”
- Breaking down costs into three periods: ages 0–3, compulsory education, and post‑compulsory education
- Keep separate accounts for having kids for your elders, for marriage, and for old-age security
19. 在职、离职和工伤
- Overtime pay is calculated at three rates: 1.5×, 2×, and 3× the regular wage; failure to pay warrants a complaint to labor authorities, and non‑payment after the deadline incurs an additional penalty of 50%–100% of the owed amount
- Annual leave is calculated based on total years of service: 5, 10, or 15 days. If unused, employees receive 300% of their daily wage as compensation
- There is a legal limit on probation periods, wages must be at least 80% of the regular rate, and only one probation period may be set per employee
- Calculating N: One month’s salary per full year of service; half a month for periods under six months
- If a company fires you without 30 days’ notice, it must pay an extra month’s salary
- When a company unlawfully terminates employment, the compensation equals twice the standard severance amount
- Never sign “voluntary resignation for personal reasons”; doing so forfeits your entitlements
- Save pay stubs, attendance records, employment contracts, social insurance documents, and chat logs before leaving your job
- Before taking up a post where there is dust, noise, or chemicals, check whether the contract mentions any occupational hazards; the employer must arrange and pay for three occupational health examinations
- Damage caused by dust, noise, and chemical toxins is irreversible: employers must provide protective gear, and workers can refuse unsafe tasks
- If you’re injured at work or hit while commuting, the first step is to get a work‑injury determination; if your employer won’t file it, you must do it yourself
- Don’t believe the myth that “staying at work counts as a workplace injury”: if you suddenly feel unwell, call 120 first — don’t rush to clock in
- Even if the employer fails to enroll you in workers’ compensation insurance, you still qualify for full benefits paid entirely by the employer at the same rates
- After injuries stabilize, undergo a work capacity assessment; disability grades translate directly into compensation
- Three types of compensation for work-related deaths: funeral allowance, survivor’s pension, and one-time death benefit
- If you’ve been bullied, insulted, or mistreated at work for a long time, don’t just endure it: document everything as evidence, then take action based on the nature of the abuse
- When you leave a job, ask the employer for a termination certificate stating contract term, separation date, position, and years of service
- Check income tax on termination compensation: the source describes an exemption up to three times the local previous-year average wage
- When moving cities for work, transfer pension and medical-insurance relations rather than withdrawing
20. 刚出生的孩子怎么带
- Keep infants sleeping on their backs on a firm surface; share a room but not a bed; and do not place any soft items in the crib or bed

- Ensure your child receives all vaccines in the national immunization schedule at no cost; missed doses can be added later

- Use water hotter than 70 °C to prepare formula, then let it cool before feeding; discard any leftovers
- Do not feed honey to children under 1 year old
- Vitamin K injection at birth is essential
- Infants under 3 months with a body temperature of 38°C should be taken straight to the hospital — no home observation needed
- No matter how tired or angry you are, never shake a baby
- When choosing diapers, focus on three things: fit, how often you change them, and whether they’ve been flagged in any quality inspections
- Consider buying big-ticket items in the order “borrow, buy used, buy new” — don’t buy them all at once
- For children with severe eczema or egg allergy, don’t avoid peanuts — introduce them early under medical guidance, but never feed whole peanuts
- Seek urgent assessment for early newborn jaundice or warning signs; pale stools also need prompt evaluation
- Ensure reliable vitamin B12 during vegetarian pregnancy and breastfeeding; seek professional guidance for vegan infant feeding
21. 出国、旅行与境外安全
- Check the Ministry of Foreign Affairs safety advisories before you travel; steer clear of any locations marked “Do Not Travel”
- Save the 12308 hotline number and your local embassy/consulate’s consular protection number in your phone, then write them down and keep a copy in your wallet — don’t wait until an emergency to look them up
- Understanding what consular protection can and cannot do: it can visit you, but cannot bail you out, and you still have to pay the costs
- Purchase insurance covering overseas medical care and medical evacuation — don’t settle for just flight delay coverage
- Treat all “high-paying overseas jobs” as scams — getting caught can lead to a 6‑month to 3‑year travel ban
- The annual limit of 100,000 RMB for cash withdrawals abroad applies to all cards under your name combined
- Take photos of your passport, visa, and ID card and store them in the cloud; if lost, report to police first and then apply for a travel document
- Before driving abroad, verify whether local authorities recognize Chinese driver’s licenses; most “international driver’s permits” sold online are legally worthless
- When hiring an agency for visas, study abroad, or immigration, first check whether it is registered with immigration authorities
- Don’t issue invitation letters for strangers, and don’t let others use your name for immigration paperwork
- Before traveling abroad, send your itinerary, accommodation details, and travel companions’ information to a family member, and agree on how often you’ll stay in touch
22. 怎么放松：娱乐场所和减压
- Check where the emergency exits are before entering a KTV, bar, or escape room; if they’re locked or blocked, pick another venue
- Price lists must be displayed before ordering; entertainment venues cannot charge “after the fact”
- If someone offers you “stuff” at a venue, leave immediately — harboring and providing both count as aiding friends
- Don’t accept candy or snacks from strangers, don’t drink beverages left unattended, and don’t take e‑cigarette cartridges handed to you by others
- Avoid scripted-murder-mystery (剧本杀, "jubensha") and escape rooms located in residential buildings or below the first basement level
- Going for a brisk walk or a jog when feeling down: the effect size of exercise on depression is proportional to its intensity
- When anxiety interferes with daily life, mindfulness‑based stress reduction works just as well as common anti‑anxiety drugs
- For quick relief on the spot, try the 5‑minute “cyclic sigh”: two inhalations followed by a prolonged exhalation
- Treat “regular social contact” as a health expense — don’t wait until you’re feeling down to reach out
- Consider nearby greenery when choosing a home, without assuming more park visits will extend your life
23. 学什么技能划算
- There’s no option for anyone under 16 to “get a job”: any employer who hires them faces a fine of $5000 per month, and those willing to do so are breaking the law
- Adding “education’s value” to mortality statistics: each extra year of schooling reduces adult mortality by roughly 1.9%
- Before judging whether qualifications have lost value, distinguish population education statistics from employment returns
- Run the policy math first: most vocational school tuition is waived, with a 2300‑yuan grant and up to 20000 yuan in student loans per year
- Failing to get into regular high school doesn’t mean your path ends: secondary vocational schools offer linked admission programs and separate exams, and employers can lower educational requirements for skilled roles
- Treating “work now or study further” as a calculation: the three years of early earnings versus decades of future income
- Keep this baseline in mind: on average worldwide, each additional year of schooling yields a personal return of roughly 9% per year
- Before spending money on a certification, first verify whether it appears in the National Vocational Qualification Catalogue or in the list of evaluation agencies registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security
- It’s best to use government subsidies for training — don’t jump straight to paying for commercial courses out of pocket
- When picking a skill to learn, prioritize those that require hands-on work and on-the-spot judgment — these are the hardest for automation to replace
- Check first whether a skill has an official grading system and if those grades can translate into pay raises
- Don’t take “high wages advertised online” as proof of labor shortages — check local lists of in‑demand occupations and subsidy programs instead
- For the same cost and time, prioritize short-duration programs that lead directly to employment
- After studying, close the book and test yourself — don’t just reread it
- Spread the same study time over several days instead of cramming it all at once
- Don’t treat highlighting, rereading, and summarizing as primary study methods
- Mixing different types of exercises rather than doing twenty of the same kind
- Don’t pick learning methods based on “I’m a visual learner, he’s an auditory learner”
- Test yourself using questions based on how you’ll use the material later; don’t just recite it verbatim
- First, figure out which professional series and level you belong to, then find the right application channels based on your employer type
- Entry- and intermediate-level accounting titles are earned via a national unified exam; first check your education level and work experience to see if you qualify
- Don’t hire agents to handle evaluations, don’t pay for ghostwritten papers, and don’t falsify any application materials: any proven violations will result in immediate revocation of your professional title and a 3-year entry in your integrity record
- Having a professional title doesn’t automatically mean a pay raise: first find out whether your employer uses a post‑based quota for evaluation and hiring, or if getting the title doesn’t guarantee a post or raise
24. 看病：怎么少花钱少走弯路
- For common illnesses, patients should first visit community clinics; referrals then proceed stepwise to larger hospitals, after which the hospital deductible is calculated only once
- Within the same medical insurance region, the lower the hospital level, the higher the reimbursement rate — the difference is roughly 10 percentage points
- Go to a major hospital via a referral from a local clinic or the hospital’s referral center — don’t turn to scalpers
- Before seeking medical care outside your home province, ask locally first — the need for such care should ideally be assessed by an associate chief physician or higher
- Stop treating tertiary hospitals as mere prescription hubs — stable chronic disease patients should turn to primary care
- If you have doubts about treatment, request to seal the medical records on the spot; both parties must be present, a list must be drawn up, and each side gets a copy
- After every medical visit, keep a personal copy of your medical records, test reports, and imaging scans
- Even without money or ID, and unable to identify yourself, emergency care must be provided first
- Disability assessments must be conducted only after treatment is complete; doing it too early results in a lower rating
- After treatment, functional impairments may indeed remain; apply for a disability certificate at the county-level disability association in your hukou area
- Thank the doctors who saved you — send thank-you letters, banners, or satisfaction ratings instead of cash gifts. The rules prohibit money, not gratitude
- Before getting dental implants, ask exactly what services are covered by the flat fee and choose a clinic that has committed to price controls — don’t be lured by cheap‑price ads
25. 人走了以后要办什么
- If someone dies at home or elsewhere, first determine whether it’s a natural or unnatural death: in cases of accidents, unknown causes, or deaths discovered only after a long period of solitude, call the police immediately and leave the body and scene untouched
- The death certificate is the key to everything that follows: whoever provided treatment issues it; for natural deaths at home, contact the local community health service center. It must be issued within one day
- Transport, storage, and cremation of remains must be handled by funeral homes; hospital morgues cannot provide such services, and storage is generally limited to 3 days
- Disagreement over cause of death: request an autopsy within 48 hours and have medical records sealed
- Legal deadlines for canceling hukou registration: in cities, before burial; in rural areas, within one month
- Funeral services are divided into basic and non-basic categories; a list of basic services exists, with their fees set by law
- If you encounter forced bundling, extra charges beyond the listed price, or a single service being split into multiple line items for billing, make a note of it and file a complaint
- Intermediaries such as funeral service agents, vendors of funeral goods, and event planners must register with the county-level civil affairs bureau
- Retrieving scattered funds: housing provident fund balances, social insurance payouts, and work‑related death benefits
- Relatives of the deceased may request access to, copies of, corrections to, and deletion of their personal information
26. 做一个网站或平台：资质、备案和服务器
- Platforms must never collect payments themselves and then transfer them to sellers; funds must be settled directly via a licensed payment institution
- Most paid websites require a license, but sites that sell goods solely through their own platforms without allowing third‑party vendors do not. Matching‑service platforms fall under a different licensing category; free sites only need to register
- Obtaining a license for online cultural activities is required to run live streams; private companies rarely qualify for the permit needed to distribute audiovisual content
- Servers placed in China must be registered; ISPs must hold a value-added telecom license
- Requiring sellers to join the platform means the platform must verify identities, register data, report information, and retain records for three years
- You must regulate user-generated content: moderation mechanisms, reporting portals, and immediate takedown plus reporting of illegal material
- Providing information publishing and instant messaging services requires users to provide authentic identity information
- No live streaming accounts may be created for anyone under 16; tipping limits are set by age group
- Respond promptly to infringement notices; restore content after 15 days if no response
- Personal information must not be casually transferred overseas; legal conditions and thresholds apply
- When picking a server, first consider how much downtime you can tolerate, then check whether there’s any support available, and only then compare prices
27. 怀孕和生产：从发现怀孕到出院办证
- Begin daily folic acid before a planned pregnancy and continue through early pregnancy
- Register for the Maternal and Child Health Handbook at a community health center before 13 weeks of pregnancy to claim free prenatal checkups
- Getting tested for HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B during the first prenatal visit — free prevention options available

- If your water breaks, lie down flat, elevate your hips, and call 120 — don’t walk around or take a shower
- Ask for labor analgesia — it does not raise the risk of C-section
- Don’t request a C-section without medical indication, and avoid scheduling one just to pick a “lucky” date
- Check your yibao enrollment status before getting pregnant — even unemployed spouses can claim maternity medical expenses
- Get the “Medical Certificate of Birth” sorted out before discharge; decide on the baby’s name early and avoid typos
- Don’t skip newborn heel‑prick and hearing tests
- Enroll your newborn in yibao right after getting the birth certificate — don’t wait until household registration is complete
- Registering a newborn’s birth at a police station within one month
- Do not skip the 42-day postnatal check: the cited local service also includes postpartum depression screening
- Pregnancy does not automatically require rehoming a cat; manage litter, food and soil exposure
28. 别为了外形把身体搞坏
- Do not use extreme dieting, fasting, or self-induced vomiting to control weight; if you want to lose weight, focus on exercise instead
- Two things to check before getting injections, thread lifts, or surgery: does the facility’s license list “medical aesthetics,” and is the practitioner a licensed attending physician?
- Facial fillers should avoid the bridge of the nose, glabellar area, and forehead — and never opt for unregulated clinics just to save money
- Avoid rapid-weight-loss pills, slimming coffee, candies and “enzyme” plums
- Do not use anabolic steroids (“muscle‑building injections” or “oral pills”) to build muscle
- If you need weight-loss medication, get a prescription from a doctor — don’t buy it from online shops that ship it without one
- Sex hormone therapy should only be used when prescribed by a doctor and with regular follow‑up; do not buy it online and do not adjust the dose on your own
- If the feeling of “being unattractive” has reached the point where you constantly check your reflection and obsess over changes, get a body image assessment before considering surgery
- Orthodontic treatment requires an orthodontist with proper credentials to conduct an in-person exam and schedule regular follow-ups — don’t buy aligners online and wear them at home on your own
29. 遭遇重大打击之后
- After a loved one passes, don’t stay alone for the first few days. Those with heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes should keep taking their medication. If you feel pressure or pain in the chest, call 120 right away
- On the week you receive a cancer diagnosis, don’t go alone to pick up the results — postpone non‑treatment decisions
- After losing a job, it’s important to set a regular sleep schedule, keep yibao (basic medical insurance) active, and plan job searches methodically — don’t just stay at home all day
- People who lose a loved one to suicide, accident, or homicide should seek professional help rather than trying to cope alone
- In the first six months after losing a spouse, assign one trusted person to oversee meals, sleep, medication for chronic conditions, and follow‑up appointments
- For those without family or friends, replace “the person watching over you” with three simple things: a neighbor who can enter your home, a spot on the community outreach list, and emergency contacts saved on your phone
- After a parent dies, tell the child the truth, let him attend the funeral, and don’t send him to another environment
- Still stuck in grief after half a year, unable to move on — when to see a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist
- Don’t spend money on grief counseling right away — first check whether your grief is truly stuck (see the symptoms listed in item 8)
- Don’t drop yibao or turn to alcohol after separating or divorcing
- Call 12356 for general support, 12355 for minors and teens; for medical care, book a psychology clinic appointment
- In the first three months after a tragedy, postpone any irreversible major decisions
- Don’t treat death as a way to settle debts: life insurance won’t pay out for suicides within two years, workplace injuries won’t be recognized, and debts are still deducted from your estate first
30. 上学以后的孩子
- Child reports sudden, worsening pain — rush to the hospital right away; don’t let him wait until after school
- Don’t delay necessary treatment just to “wait until exams are over”; certain treatment windows depend on bone growth, not exam schedules
- When a child is bullied, report it to school the same day and request a written response; for physical assault, theft, or rumor spreading, call the police immediately
- Ensuring that children spend at least 2 hours outdoors each day is currently the only myopia‑prevention method backed by randomized trials
- No screen time for children aged 0–3; limit it as much as possible for ages 3–6; for school‑age kids, non‑educational screen use should not exceed one hour per day
- Treating myopia as a lasting injury: the higher the prescription, the greater the future risk of retinal detachment, macular degeneration, and glaucoma
- Take a close look at your child’s annual school health report and follow up on any abnormalities right away
- Conducting a depression screening for kids aged 12 to 18 — don’t rely on school mental health assessments as a diagnosis
- Do not buy products or services claiming to “cure myopia” or “reduce refractive error”
- Clear rules exist for sleep, homework, sports, and rankings; if schools fail to comply, parents can raise the issue
- Parents can request a temporary leave of absence for their child; the school must retain the child’s enrollment status for up to one year
- If poor vision is detected, go to the hospital for cycloplegic refraction and follow up at the recommended intervals as advised by the doctor
- Pit and fissure sealants applied after permanent molars emerge
- If a child loves playing games, first check whether sleep, homework, and outdoor activities are being crowded out — don’t just focus on how long they play
- If a child says they’re attracted to the same sex, don’t scold them, don’t kick them out, and don’t send them for “conversion therapy”: how your family reacts can affect whether they attempt suicide
- Do not hit your child, and do not yell or call them stupid: children who are often hit or verbally abused show more behavior and emotional problems
- If parenting feels out of control and you keep hitting or yelling, take a class that teaches concrete parenting skills
- Don’t send kids to closed “internet addiction treatment schools” or “boot camps”: laws forbid using harmful methods to treat internet addiction, and children have already died in such places
31. 十八岁之后有哪几条路
- Compare the source's age and education requirements before choosing a work or education route
- Men who turn 18 must complete military service registration by October 31; mandatory active duty lasts two years
- Refusing military service after enlistment: no travel abroad, no further education, and barred from civil service and state-owned enterprises for two years
- Two main benefits for college students joining the military: up to 20,000 RMB per year for tuition, two-year extension of student status, and a special postgraduate admission program
- Only six scenarios allow the government to assign jobs after discharge; those opting for self-employment must register within 30 days
- Three key financial aspects after discharge: one-time separation pay, military service counting toward work seniority, and tax deductions for self-employed veterans
- There’s more than just civil service exams to get into the government system: serving two years in grassroots programs qualifies you for a special recruitment quota of 10% each year
- Teachers in the Special Post Program who complete three years of service, pass evaluations, and wish to stay should be promptly added to the official teaching staff
- Firefighters and civilian personnel in the military represent two additional pathways for public recruitment, with lower entry requirements than civil service exams
- Education is not a one-time deal: self-study exams have no age or prior education limits; both adult college entrance exams and open universities offer pathways to further education
- Without an employer, arrange pension and health coverage yourself where you work; check local residency rules
- Food delivery workers, ride‑hailing drivers, and local freight carriers all get occupational injury coverage paid for by the platform on a per‑order basis — at no cost to them
- Two pathways to secure a government job on the day you fill out college applications: government-funded teacher training and targeted medical student programs, at the cost of a six-year service commitment
- Before going abroad to work, check whether the company has a license for international labor cooperation: it is illegal for them to demand a deposit from you
- Working remotely for a foreign company from home: this income is considered domestic earnings for tax purposes; you must file your own individual income tax returns, and incoming payments should be reported as “employee compensation”
- Starting a business without joining a company? First look at startup guarantee loans: up to 300,000 RMB per individual, with the government covering half the interest
32. 出国留学：身份、打工、保险和回国认证
- Check whether the school is on the China Scholarship Council’s list of accredited institutions before paying tuition
- Legal battle over new U.S. F-1 rules: “Stay until graduation” remains the rule for now
- The maximum allowed work hours are strict limits in the U.S., Canada, UK, and Australia — exceeding them violates visa terms
- The core requirement for eligibility is “full-time enrollment”: any gap due to suspension, withdrawal, or transfer disqualifies you from working
- United States: You must report your new address within 10 days of moving
- Before you go and while studying abroad, check the Ministry of Education’s study‑abroad warnings
- Australia: OSHC must cover the entire stay without any gaps; lack of proof may lead to denied entry
- UK: Besides the visa fee, there is an annual healthcare surcharge — £776 per year for students, paid in full at application time
- Allow time for certification before returning to China: CSCSE certification takes 10–20 working days
- The number of schools under “enhanced scrutiny” for certification keeps rising; paying to buy a degree is no longer an option
33. 残疾之后怎么活
- Sudden severe headache and sweating after spinal cord injury: first help the person sit upright, loosen tight clothing, and call 120
- The first decade after becoming disabled is a high-risk period for suicide; this shouldn’t be dismissed as “just a matter of staying positive.”
- Hospitalization for mental disorders is voluntary; only two exceptions allow admission without consent
- For caregivers of disabled family members at home, it’s vital to watch your own health
- For long‑term wheelchair users, switch to a pressure‑relieving cushion and check the ischial and sacrococcygeal areas daily
- Don’t buy therapies or devices that claim to cure paralysis, blindness, or deafness
- After obtaining the disability certificate, visit the county-level civil affairs bureau to ask about all available benefits at once
- For children under 7 who have disabilities or autism, apply to the county-level civil affairs bureau for rehabilitation assistance

- Guide dogs are allowed in public places and on public transport; blind individuals ride city buses for free
- Disabled candidates taking the national college entrance exam can request reasonable accommodations, including a 50% time extension for those using Braille test papers
- Schools may not refuse enrollment for children with disabilities; those unable to attend receive in‑home instruction arranged by the education bureau
- People missing their right lower limb or both lower limbs can still obtain a driver’s license; the designated category is C5
- Rehabilitation should be carried out at a proper facility with a rehabilitation medicine department; the intensity must be set by therapists — more intensity does not necessarily mean better results
- Getting a hearing aid when hearing declines — the reason is to hear better now, not to prevent dementia
- Saying an adult “can’t manage his own affairs” requires a court determination; family members can’t decide on their own
- Guardians for adults are appointed in a legal order; if the ward injures someone, the guardian must pay compensation
- If you’re denied a job, denied promotion, or paid less because of a disability, you can sue — but first calculate the associated costs
34. 家里的常备药别吃出事
- Before taking two cold or pain relievers at the same time, check their ingredient lists — only one of them should contain acetaminophen
- Do not give children aspirin, nimesulide, or metamizole for fever; cold medicines containing metamizole should also be avoided in minors
- Ask a clinician before NSAID painkillers if you are 60 or older, have had stomach bleeding, or take anticoagulants or steroids
- For children under 2 with colds, don’t give them over-the-counter multi-ingredient cold and cough medicines on your own
- Pregnancy after 20 weeks: avoid taking ibuprofen and similar painkillers on your own
- Buying omeprazole over the counter for heartburn and acid reflux — use it for no more than 7 days; see a doctor immediately if you have trouble swallowing, vomit blood, or pass black stools
- Don’t ask doctors for antibiotics for the common cold
- For diarrhea, start by drinking oral rehydration solution; do not give anti-diarrheal drugs to children under 5
- Don’t take painkillers for more than 15 days a month; limit combination painkillers to 10 days. Otherwise, headaches may actually be caused by the medication itself
- Clear out expired and unused medicines regularly; dispose of them with packaging in hazardous-waste bins, not at home
- While taking cephalosporins, metronidazole, and similar antibacterials, and for 7 days after stopping, avoid alcohol — including alcohol in Huoxiang Zhengqi oral liquid and cough syrups
