Judging from the new products, especially skin care products, launched by major brands at the beginning of the year, they focus on the efficacy types of "early C and late A", and there is no lack of the trend of clustering online celebrity concepts and ingredients to homogenize the production capacity.
On the one hand, it is difficult to put the new regulations on record; On the one hand, big-name beauty has opened a new racing competition.
According to the incomplete statistics of the reporter of Cosmetics Finance Online, in 2022, more than 30 brands have launched more than 50 new products, expecting to usher in a "good start".
Among these brands that have launched new products, there are not only international brands such as Estee Lauder, Lancome, Saint Laurent, Frestech and Guerlain, but also well-known domestic brands such as Nature Hall, Proya, Marie Daijia, herborist and Yiyi Herbal Medicine, as well as popular new brands such as Ximuyuan, Winona, Runbaiyan, Kuadi and Yiben.
What kind of "masterpieces" will different brands launch to capture the market? From these new products, what beauty products trends can we see and what pain points can we find?
01
The average price is close to 600 yuan per bottle.
The essence is still a gold mine.
Among the more than 30 new skin care products incompletely counted by the reporter of Cosmetic Finance Online, the products of "essence" and "essence" are still the focus of new products promoted by major brands, and 12 brands including Estee Lauder, herborist, la roche-posay and innisfree have launched this type of new products.
From the main efficacy, most of these new essences are mainly whitening and repairing, which is the same as the efficacy advocated by the concept of "early C and late A" that exploded in 2021. That is to say, the main products are VC and VA (including A aldehyde, A alcohol and A fat), which can effectively whiten and resist oxidation, and have the effects of anti-aging and repair.
△
In addition, in these new essences, in addition to the necessary components VC and VA and their derivatives, other components are mostly plant extracts, such as orchids, myrtle, Zhenye cherry seeds, Erigeron, sea lilies, Bai Lianhua, mirabilis jalapa, etc., and more attention is paid to green, moisturizing and moisturizing. Obviously, brands want to enter the consumer market in a green, healthy, efficient and safe way.
In terms of price, the average price of the new essence is 585 yuan/bottle. Among them, the prices of foreign brands such as Estee Lauder, Chanel and Ya Dun are close to 1,000 yuan, which is significantly higher than that of domestic brands, about twice as much.
Some insiders pointed out that nowadays, with the increasing demand of consumers for cosmetics, more efficient, more research and development strength, but also more expensive essence quickly occupied the minds of consumers. "For consumers, the higher the efficacy, the more popular it is; For brands, the higher the price, the more objective the profit, so it is not difficult to understand why cosmetics brands get together to launch elite products. "
02
Star products are upgraded again
"Classic single product" is a strategic consensus.
The continuous upgrading of star items is also a common "innovation" strategy for brands.
Among the new products launched in 2022, Runbaiyan, Estee Lauder, YSL Saint Laurent Beauty Cosmetics, and Book by Book are all upgraded in formula or packaging around star items, so as to meet the needs of consumers and expand the market with newer and more comprehensive values.
On the one hand, in the rapidly changing consumer market, various products emerge one after another, and the life cycle of products is getting shorter and shorter. It is not easy to create an enduring and attractive product. Once the same or similar products appear, the competitiveness of the original products will be greatly weakened. Therefore, we should explore from the aspects of product function, experience and personalization to create a moat of products.
On the other hand, the consumer demand is constantly changing, and products should be adjusted around the consumer demand in time to keep up with the pace of consumers. Even star items should enhance their product value and meet the needs of users so as not to be eliminated by users. In addition, the upgrade of classic items will not only help the brand to consolidate existing consumers, but also enable the brand to touch potential consumers in the promotion of new products and new functions.
03
"Box Set" is popular again.
Behind it is the change of new channels.
In parallel with the strategy of "big single product", the combination of "water, milk and frost" which prevailed in CS channel ten years ago has returned to the stage, but the beneficiaries of this channel have become Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker and major broadcast rooms.
This year, OLAY, Decker, Infusa, Yilian and other brands launched new products in the form of "water+milk" or "water+milk+cream".
Behind this is the change brought by brand layout new channels and catering to the sinking market.
With the rise of live broadcast e-commerce companies such as Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker, cosmetic box sets have ushered in the second spring on these live broadcast platforms. According to several live broadcast data of Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker’s Talent, the number of sets of boxes sold is considerable.
Take Tik Tok as an example, the series of gift boxes of "Afterglow Danhua", "Snow Flower Show", "Oushiman Pearl White Gift Box", "Polaiya" four-piece set of "Tightening Skin and Tightening Muscle" and "Kanshubo" with high uric acid and moisturizing face are all selling well here. The main groups of consumers are also concentrated in the sinking markets of third-and fourth-tier cities and people aged 25-35.
04
The core components of sunscreen remain unchanged.
But the formula pays more attention to caring skin and nourishing skin.
In addition to essence and box, sunscreen is a skin care product that consumers focus on in spring. In this year, Nature Hall, Gaozi, Anjesha, and Deke launched new sunscreen products. Although the core components of the four sunscreens have not changed significantly, they all tend to be skin-friendly and nourishing in formula.
With the gradual enhancement of consumers’ awareness of sun protection and more professional functional demands, in recent years, the development of sun protection products has shown some development keywords such as "skin care", "anti-aging" and "multi-effect". Among them, skin-care sunscreen with both sun protection and skin care functions is gradually favored by consumers.
05
Lipstick comes out quickly.
Silk and water are two selling points.
Even under the influence of the epidemic, many brands said that lipstick sales showed a downward trend, but in 2022, the battle of new cosmetics had to look at "lipstick" first.
Among the 16 new make-up products counted by the reporter of Cosmetics Finance Online (except for the New Year’s limit), "lipstick" is the new keyword, and nearly half of the brands have introduced lipstick, followed by foundation/air cushion/isolation, followed by eyeliner and lipstick.
In the new lipstick, there are many colors and diverse textures, and softness and moisture are two outstanding characteristics respectively.
06
High-end brands continue to create "spire" makeup;
More expensive price, more skin-nourishing ingredients.
When makeup is becoming a common beauty product for a new generation of consumers, it is more like a skin care product for many consumers, which is different from high-frequency cosmetics such as lipstick. A good makeup product for a make-up brand is just like a good essence for a skin care brand. It is a "spire" product that can occupy consumers’ minds, thus driving the joint purchase of other products.
It is worth noting that among the new foundations launched by major brands this time, Lancome foundation cream costs 1050 yuan/bottle, which exceeds the price of most liquid foundations. "One bottle of powder cream, half bottle of essence", this product combines foundation and essence cream, and is suitable for before liquid foundation, which makes makeup tend to skin care and skin care.
07
Cold thinking:
When online celebrity’s concepts and components get together,
Is the new product really "new"?
Judging from the new products launched by major brands at the beginning of the year, especially skin care products, they focus on the efficacy types of "early C and late A", and there is no lack of suspicion that online celebrity’s concepts and ingredients are clustered together and the production capacity is homogenized. Is this new product really "new" for consumers?
In today’s diverse skin care market, there is a need for many types of new products. Only by studying consumer demand and producing more diversified products that meet the real needs of consumers can brands gain more voice in the fierce market competition.
Beauty cosmetics grow in differentiation and gain momentum in evolution: summary and prospect of 2021 annual report and 2022 first quarterly report
In 2021, A-share brand beauty enterprises showed high growth and strong consumption resilience as a whole; In 2022Q1, under the influence of local epidemic, the growth and profitability of various companies intensified and differentiated, and Betani/Huaxi/Polaiya performed significantly better than the industry. Looking forward to the whole year of 2022, it is expected that research and development will enhance the product strength, and large single products will consolidate the moat; Digging deep into the channel stock and actively grasping the increment are the common efforts of the industry. Huaxi Bio, Polaiya, Betani, Kos and Jiaheng Jahwa are mainly recommended.
▍ In 2021, six A-share brand beauty companies:
The operating income all achieved positive growth, with the total operating income of+33.1% year-on-year, and the growth rate of Huaxi biological functional skin care products ranked first, with+146.6%, showing high growth and strong consumption resilience as a whole; The total attributable net profit was+8.8% year-on-year, and Bettini’s growth rate was the highest, at+58.8%; The gross profit rate is 58.7% ~ 79.0%, and the gross profit rate of Zhonghua Xi biological skin care products ranks first; The overall sales expense rate is on the rise, among which the promotion expense accounts for the largest proportion in the expense breakdown, and the promotion expense rates of Huaxi/Polaiya/Betani are 36.3%/36.1%/31.1% respectively; The R&D expense ratio is 1.7% ~ 5.7%, and Huaxi’s R&D expense ratio far exceeds the industry average. The net interest rates of Betaine/Huaxi (overall)/Marumi/Polaiya are 21.5%/15.7%/13.5%/12.0% respectively. 2022Q1: The income, profit growth rate and profitability differentiation of brand companies have increased, and Betani/Huaxi/Polaiya performed significantly better than the industry.
▍ China beauty market: low penetration rate, low concentration, large room for single brand growth, multi-brand and collectivization are still in the initial stage.
According to Euromonitor data, in 2021, the per capita consumption of beauty care in China is about 405 yuan, and that in the United States/South Korea/Japan/Europe is about 1,995/1,630/1,597/1,248 yuan respectively; In 2021, the retail sales of beauty cosmetics and personal care in China will be about 33.3%, while those in Korea/the United States/Japan/Western Europe will be about 49.8%/41.1%/36.8%/35.8% respectively. In 2021, the market sales of L ‘Oré al Group, Estee Lauder Group and Shiseido Group in China were about 69.8 billion yuan, 30.8 billion yuan and 19.9 billion yuan respectively, while the leading enterprises in China generally did not exceed the terminal scale of 10 billion yuan. From the perspective of single brand, in 2021, the retail sales of L ‘Oré al Paris, Lancome and Estee Lauder in China market will be 23.4 billion yuan, 17.8 billion yuan and 15.8 billion yuan respectively, while the multi-brand and collectivization of China’s beauty products are generally still in the initial stage; In the next five years, China beauty brands will go to sea as the general trend; In 2021, the global sales of L ‘Oré al Group and Estee Lauder Group were 349.8 billion yuan and 126.8 billion yuan respectively. The global sales of single brand L ‘Oré al Paris was 92.1 billion yuan, Lancome was 43.4 billion yuan and Estee Lauder was 35.9 billion yuan.
▍ China Beauty Evolution and Trend: R&D enhances product strength, and large single products tamp the moat; Dig deep into the channel stock and actively grasp the increment.
At present, the consumption upgrade has temporarily encountered a phased bottleneck, consumers are more rational in purchasing beauty products, and product strength plays a more important role in purchasing decisions; After several years of accumulation, the product strength of local brands has generally increased. Huaxi Bio and Betani have driven product innovation with raw material innovation in their respective tracks, gradually forming China beauty features and consumer minds; Huaxi follows the path of "science → technology → product → brand", and it is expected to maintain the R&D expenditure rate of about 6% in the future, or create its own "Bose Cause" and "Pitera" of China beauty brand; Bettini strengthens the geographical "franchise value" based on the characteristic plants of Yunnan alpine-it is difficult to imitate, and it is even more impossible to copy. Polaiya’s big single product strategy has entered the harvest period, and Betani Winona, Huaxi Runbaiyan /BM Muscle Activity and other big single products have achieved remarkable results in promoting sales, raising profits and fixing stickiness. In 2021, the proportion of online income is: Proya 85% > Betani 82% > Huaxi Bio * 78% > Marubi 60% > shanghai jahwa 42%. As far as Amoy Department is concerned, the volume of local brands is still far lower than that of international head brands. Digging deep into Amoy Department and grasping emerging channels such as Tik Tok are the common paths for local leaders to continue to increase their share.
▍ Risk factors:
Under the repeated local epidemic, residents’ willingness to buy declined, affecting optional consumption such as beauty; International brands make great efforts to promote sales through multiple channels, eroding the share of local brands; New product sales failed to meet expectations; Traffic, product promotion, etc. erode performance.
▍ Investment strategy.
Looking forward to the whole year of 2022, the local beauty industry chain in China will continue to evolve and move forward: although the growth rate of the industry has slowed down, the growth rate is still in the forefront of all kinds of consumer goods, and there is a broad space for a long time.
Main line 1: Relying on R&D and track product strength, strong operational capability, emerging channels and other factors, the differentiation will be further enhanced, and multi-brand and collectivization will also enter a new stage. Huaxi Bio (functional skin care products maintain high growth and profitability tends to improve), Polaiya (big single product strategy enters the harvest period, and the second brand Caitang grows at a high speed) and Betaine (main brand Winona has high barriers and is a new brand. It is suggested to pay attention to the development of Marubi and Lushang.
Main line 2: With the implementation of the new regulations, the beauty supply chain has greatly improved the industry threshold, and the concentration trend is upward. It is mainly recommended that Kesi shares, the beneficiary of the new regulations at the raw material end, and Jiaheng Jahwa, the beneficiary of the improvement of the competitive pattern.

Baseball hall experience hitting baseball photo by Hu Fengsheng
Jiaxing, China, May 10 (Hu Fengsheng, Liu Mengru) Xujiadai Village, located in Lindai Town, pinghu city, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, was once a well-known pig-raising village, but now it has turned into the "No.1 Baseball Village in China". What is the development mystery hidden in it?
On May 10th, the reporter went into Xujiadai village to find the answer to the punching place of baseball in online celebrity, a remote village.
"Misplaced Development" Seeking Opportunities
The commentator explained at the baseball stadium. Photo by Hu Fengsheng
Liu Jianqun, Party Secretary of Xujiadai Village, is known as the "baseball secretary". In fact, before becoming a village cadre, Liu Jianqun worked as a professional manager for 12 years, and it was this professional experience that made him keenly capture new opportunities for rural development. When dealing with local Japanese enterprises and enterprises in Taiwan Province, China, Liu Jianqun found that baseball is a sport that many executives and employees are keen on, but because there is no venue in Pinghu, they often need to drive to Shanghai to play.
Why not seize this opportunity and aim at the baseball market? The idea took root in Liu Jianqun’s heart.
After a deep understanding of baseball, Liu Jianqun made it clear that this is the ideal direction for the development of Xujiadai Village: "In China, baseball is still relatively small, so we can’ misplace development’ and do something’ no one has me’. Since we want to revitalize the countryside, we must revitalize our characteristics." He embedded sports in rural revitalization.
In November 2018, the Xujiadai Baseball Base was completed, becoming the first "country baseball field" for young people in China that meets the standards. At the same time, Liu Jianqun traveled to Beishangguang and other places to contact and undertake baseball games. In 2019, the first event, the Yangtze River Delta Deer League Baseball Game, was ushered in, which was the first appearance of Xujiadai Baseball Base.
Since then, the village has successively hosted more than 30 national and provincial baseball and softball competitions, and has been promoted to the U10 training base of China Junior Baseball, gaining the reputation of "the first baseball village in China".
Baseball field not only enriches the daily life in the countryside, but also develops a juvenile baseball team that has won trophies frequently in national and provincial competitions. Chen Jingyan was one of the 24 players selected by Lin Dai Xiaolong People’s Baseball Team when it was first established. He was successfully selected into the main list of the National Youth Baseball Team in this year’s U15 national youth baseball team selection activity, and was also the only player finally selected in Zhejiang.
Deep integration promotes development

In the changeable market environment, Liu Jianqun is more and more aware of the importance of the vertical development of the baseball industry, and set out to build a "baseball culture experience hall" to broaden the boundaries of the baseball industry in Xujiadai Village.
In order to improve the supporting facilities of baseball base, Xujiadai Village expropriated idle houses and transformed them into seven baseball theme homestays. At the same time, the first comprehensive baseball culture exhibition hall integrating baseball display and sales, product research and development, experience and entertainment will be built in China to further strengthen the baseball culture atmosphere.
Liu Jianqun transferred the idea of running a company to running a village, and established Jiaxing Country Garden Culture and Sports Tourism Development Co., Ltd. in Xujiadai Village, adopting the model of "company+social capital+villagers", allowing villagers to participate in the company’s operation and share dividends, so as to help them increase their income.
In recent years, the baseball field has continuously strengthened industrial attraction, promoted the construction of key projects such as adult baseball field and catering complex, fully activated the development potential, empowered beautiful countryside with sports, endowed the urban and rural features with beauty, and promoted the common prosperity of the United States.
Xujiadai Village skillfully combines baseball culture with rural tourism to create a village-level rural garden complex scenic spot integrating leisure sightseeing, catering accommodation, baseball games (training) and folk experience, and has successively attracted Spark Farm, Dayin Farm, Eight Bowls of Catering, Wulu B&B and other projects to enter the scenic spot to promote the deep integration of agriculture, culture and tourism.
With the baseball industry getting better and better, baseball is gradually integrated into the lives of local villagers. "We have introduced baseball into students’ daily after-school evening care, and students in evening care can practice baseball for one hour every day." Mo Yun, a member of the Party Committee of Linyi Town, introduced.
It is reported that starting from May this year, Xujiadai Village is about to enter a four-month competition season, and several competitions, such as the 2023 "Jinping Lake Cup" cross-strait youth slow softball invitational tournament, the U10 Group of the National Junior Baseball Championship, and the baseball and softball of the 10th Jiaxing Sports Meeting, are about to start fierce competition and competition in this baseball field.

Original title: Record-setting fiery and free cold and cheerless after the China Women’s World Cup debacle.
BEIJING, Beijing, August 22 (Reporter Bian Liqun) The 2023 ANZ Women’s World Cup has come to an end. Spain beat England 1-0 and won the first Women’s World Cup.
In the last World Cup, China women’s football team was able to barely draw 0-0 against Spain in the same group.
However, in this World Cup, in the midst of great changes in the world women’s football pattern, the women’s football team in China, which was eliminated after a 1-6 defeat in the group stage, seemed to be at a loss, and even felt more and more powerless when China men’s football team fought in international competitions.
A female football practitioner told reporters frankly that the development trend of women’s football in China is not as good as that of men’s football.
"The world men’s soccer team has entered a period of stable development, and there will not be much pattern change. At most, people will take five steps and we will take two steps. However, the world women’s football team is developing rapidly. Now foreign countries are making 10 steps forward, and we are only making one step forward. "
Hot & cold
After the China Women’s Football World Cup group match, the Women’s Super League has been played for two rounds. Wang Shanshan, Zhang Xin and other international players have already appeared on the field, and China women’s football coach Shui Qingxia has also started a new round of player inspection.
International players Li Mengwen and Tang Jiali will start another journey to study abroad: the former will move from Ligue 1 to the Premier League with more intense competition and join the Brighton women’s football team; The latter re-entered La Liga and joined the women’s football team in Las pallas, levante.
It is understood that there will be several women’s football players studying in overseas leagues in the future, including many international players.
In this World Cup, England and Spain in the finals and the domestic women’s football league have developed rapidly.
The La Liga, where Tang Jiali, a player studying abroad, is located, has contributed as many as 74 international players to this women’s World Cup. She has made more contributions to the Premier League before studying abroad, with nearly 100 people.
In terms of the number of spectators, the average number of women’s football players in the Premier League last season was 5,099. The North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur attracted as many as 47,367 people to watch the game.
In the women’s Champions League quarter-final held in March last year, the "national derby" between Barcelona women’s football team and Real Madrid women’s football team flooded into as many as 91,553 spectators.
At home, the attention of all parties to women’s football still mostly stays at the level of the national team.
According to the data from FIFA, the life-and-death battle between China women’s football team and English women’s football team broke the single country’s viewing record in the history of the Women’s World Cup with 59.3 million viewers.
On the day before the Women’s World Cup final, Beijing Women’s Football Team and Henan Zhongyuan Women’s Football Team fought a relegation battle. In the end, the Beijing women’s football team won 1-0, fled the relegation zone after two consecutive victories and climbed to the seventh place in the league. However, only 688 people watched the key battle.
The threshold for watching the Beijing women’s football match at home is very low, and the audience can enter the stadium for free by scanning the code at the door. Even so, the audience can barely support the three stands of Xiannongtan Stadium.
"The first home fans this season were the most (1995), and then they were less. However, after the Women’s World Cup, I feel that there are obviously more fans at home. To be honest, one-third of our audience at home are family members or friends, and there are very few fans who really come to watch the ball. " Beijing women’s football coach Yu Yun told reporters.
It is worth mentioning that on the same night of the women’s football match in Beijing, the Super League Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Shenhua started a focus battle, and the workers poured into 52,500 spectators, setting a record for domestic football matches this year.
At the Beijing women’s football scene, many fans wore Beijing Guoan jerseys to watch the game. After watching the women’s super match in the afternoon, they switched to the Super League in the evening.
A fan told reporters with emotion: "Fortunately, the time of the two games did not coincide, otherwise there would be fewer fans at home for the Beijing Women’s Football Team …"
Not only Beijing, but also Shanghai, Jinan and Wuhan, where the football atmosphere is relatively strong, are facing the same situation.
As of the 12th round, the average audience at home of the Women’s Super League was only 1273. In the most deserted sixth round, the average audience was only 672.
sparks of fire
The coldness of the women’s super league is not only due to the lack of attention from "competition fans", but also due to the lack of attention from all parties, competition promotion and competition quality.
Some fans said with emotion: "There is really too little publicity for the Women’s Super League. Sometimes I want to go to the scene to watch the Women’s Super League. I don’t know when there will be a competition or how to buy tickets."
Some fans also suggested: "The women’s super competition should be held in the stadium of the super team in the same city. On the one hand, the hardware conditions of the game are better, and more importantly, there are relatively many fans around the stadium, which can let more people know that there are women’s football teams and women’s super leagues in this city. "
At present, the female super league teams are seriously polarized. Wuhan Women’s Football Team, Shanghai Women’s Football Team, Changchun Women’s Football Team and Jiangsu Women’s Football Team, with the blessing of the national team players, formed a championship-fighting group with a fault advantage, and the other eight teams formed a relegation group.
As of the 12th round, the 5th Shandong women’s football team is 11 points away from the 4th Jiangsu women’s football team, but only 8 points higher than the bottom Henan women’s football team. As for the quality of league matches, it is uneven and generally slow.
Although the development of women’s super is not satisfactory, there are still persistent fans.
This season, Meng Xiang, born after 1980s, took his wife and daughter to watch most of the home games of Beijing women’s football team.
"There are more young players in the team this year. When I come to watch the game, I actually look at their growth and hard work on the court, not winning or losing. I think football in China is less utilitarian, and so are fans. Don’t just watch losing and winning. " Meng Xiang said.
Liu Han, born in the 1990s, entered the women’s super stadium for the first time after the Women’s World Cup. "The atmosphere was better than expected, the game was friendly and the players focused on playing football. Even if the game is not smooth, they will not send their grievances to teammates, opponents or referees. "
"I feel a little distressed, too. The players came by themselves to carry water and collect the ball. The team didn’t do these team tasks, and even the big screen on the spot was broken, but they deserved better conditions." She said.
The unique "sense of ceremony" of the women’s super stadium also made Liu Han very touched. After the game, the players will collectively bow to the coaches, referees and spectators in each stand and interact with the fans. These make her feel that she has no sense of distance from the players and is very grounded.
When talking about the persistence and support of the fans, Beijing women’s football coach Yu Yun was very moved.
"I think Beijing fans are really good. They don’t support if they win, but they don’t support if they lose. The team lost five consecutive games at home and didn’t score a goal. The pressure was very great, but I didn’t hear fans swearing at the players and calling me’ class’. They really supported the team from the heart. "
Do your own thing.
Although it is an old-fashioned women’s football club, the survival situation of Beijing women’s football is not optimistic. This season is their third season without sponsors. Yu Yun admits that at present, the living conditions of many women’s super teams are worse than theirs.
Faced with all kinds of difficulties, Beijing women’s football team has never given up "survival" in recent years. Yu Yun revealed that in the future, it may cooperate with a sports industry company, and the other party will conduct business development for the club.
On the competitive level, the Beijing women’s football team with low investment this season is mainly young players. Fortunately, due to the backing of Xiannongtan Sports School, the relatively complete women’s football youth training system here can provide talent support for the team.
Through competition opportunities, many players have grown. For example, Pan Hongyan, who is only 18 years old, was selected as the third goalkeeper in China Women’s World Cup. Wang Yanwen, who was selected for the China Women’s Football Team, recently returned from injury and has scored goals to help the Beijing Women’s Football Team win in two consecutive games.
"Like the men’s soccer team in China, we still want to do a good job in the league, and we still hope to take measures to make our league more exciting and of higher quality, and at the same time, we should better combine it with youth training and campus football. The national team is a face, but it is impossible to talk about it without the support of a high-level league. "
"Nowadays, many players are studying abroad to improve themselves on a high-level platform. Players studying abroad like Zhang Linyan, Shen Mengyu and Yang Lina have really improved significantly. This is the role of the league. Of course, we still have to walk on multiple legs. We can’t just rely on the women’s super league, nor can we all go overseas to study abroad, or we must combine the specific circumstances. " Yu Yun appealed.
Yuan Hang (a pseudonym), a domestic female football practitioner, told reporters that the operating cost of domestic women’s super clubs is not high at present. A strong team with 2-3 international players and foreign aid, the cost of the whole season is about 20-25 million. If you want to maintain a basic state of existence, it is enough to invest 10 million yuan every year.
China women’s football team stood at the forefront after the 1-6 defeat in England, which led to the elimination of the World Cup group stage. However, the foundation of domestic women’s football development is such that China women’s football is doomed to be at a loss in the great changes of the world women’s football pattern.
Yu Yun said frankly that the gap between all parties is obvious now. No matter who plays or coaches, it will not change much.
"Players, coaches, everyone still do their own thing, and the football decision-making level should also have a clear idea. Whether we walk fast or slow, we must always walk on the right path. Maybe there will be some deviations in the process, which can be corrected, but you can’t walk and start to go back. "
"The German women’s football team didn’t do well in this World Cup, and there may be a problem of concept, or we should develop football according to the original old ideas. But I believe that they will adjust, and then they will soon become the world’s top teams. I hope that we are the same. We can’t deny something right because of a game or one thing of the national team, or look farther. " Yu Yun said.
Regarding the development of women’s football in China, Yuan Hang said: "Now men’s football and women’s football in the world are becoming more and more assimilated. Not to mention England and Spain, many people may have disdained Portuguese women’s football in the past, but this time they participated in the World Cup for the first time and almost forced the traditional strong team American women’s football out in the group stage."
"So in the context of the changes in the world women’s football pattern, we can’t always emphasize the spirit and environment. Practitioners should first think about whether they have done professional things."

If David De Gea agrees to a pay cut, he will get a new contract at Manchester United, which will reduce the current base salary of 375,000 pounds per week by nearly 50%. Although coach Erik ten Hag has publicly supported him to stay, Degea is still worried that he may not be the number one next season. It is believed that Manchester United have sent scouts to observe Diogo Costa of Porto.

Robot navigation has become more and more advanced in recent years, but in very crowded environments, such as public areas or roads in urban environments, most robots still cannot navigate accurately. In order to be widely used in smart cities in the future, robots need to be able to navigate reliably and safely in these environments without colliding with humans or nearby objects.

The collision trajectory of the robot trained by standard exploration strategy (left) and the successful trajectory of the robot trained by intrinsic reward in the same scene.
Researchers from university of zaragoza and Aragon Institute of Engineering recently proposed a new method based on machine learning, which can improve robot navigation in indoor and outdoor crowded environments. This method is used inarXivAccording to a paper published in advance on the server, it is necessary to use intrinsic rewards, which are essentially "rewards" that AI agents get when they perform behaviors that are not strictly related to the tasks they try to complete.
Autonomous robot navigation is an unresolved problem, especially in unstructured and dynamic environments, robots must avoid colliding with dynamic obstacles and achieve their goals.
Facts have proved that the deep reinforcement learning algorithm has high performance in success rate and time to reach the goal, but there are still many places to be improved.
The method introduced by Martinez Baselga and his colleagues uses intrinsic rewards, aiming at increasing the motivation of agents to explore new "states" (i.e. interactions with their environment) or reducing the level of uncertainty in a given scenario, so that agents can better predict the consequences of their actions.
In their research background, researchers specially use these rewards to encourage robots to visit unknown areas in their environment and explore their environment in different ways so that they can learn to navigate more effectively over time.
Compared with the same algorithm with ICM (intrinsic reward), the training index of the most advanced algorithm.
Most deep reinforcement learning for crowd navigation focuses on improving the processing of network and robot perception.
My method studies how to explore the environment during training to improve the learning process. In training, the robot does not try random movements or optimal movements, but tries to do what it thinks it can learn more from them.
The researchers evaluated the potential of using intrinsic rewards to solve robot navigation in crowded spaces in two different ways. The first one integrates the so-called Intrinsic Curiosity Module (ICM), while the second one is based on a series of algorithms called Efficient Exploratory Random Encoder (RE3).
The researchers evaluated these models in a series of simulations, which were run on the CrowdNav simulator. They found that their two methods of integrating intrinsic rewards are superior to the most advanced navigation methods of crowded space robots developed before.
In the future, this research can encourage other robotics experts to use intrinsic rewards when training robots to improve their ability to cope with unforeseen situations and move safely in a highly dynamic environment.
In addition, the two models tested based on intrinsic rewards will soon be integrated and tested in real robots to further verify their potential.
The results show that by applying these intelligent exploration strategies, the robot can learn faster and the final learning strategy is better. And they can be applied to existing algorithms to improve them.
In the next research, it is planned to improve the deep reinforcement learning in robot navigation to make it safer and more reliable, which is very important for using it in the real world.

On the afternoon of March 11th, Shenzhen Football Club held a training open day at Lihu Football Training Base. More than 100 fans attended the training and gave encouragement to Shenzu.
Founded in 1994, Shenzhen Football Club (Shenzhen Football Club for short) is one of the first professional clubs that emerged after the professional reform of football in China. It has won the honors of runner-up in 2002 A League, champion in 2004 Super League and the top four in 2005 Asian Champions League, and is a resounding city card of Shenzhen.
At the end of 2021, Shenzu began to fall into various difficulties. Finally, with the guidance and help of Shenzhen Municipal Government, Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Television, Tourism and Sports, Longgang District Government, Shenzhen Investment Control and other units, it obtained various support, and achieved smooth operation in the 2021 and 2022 seasons and relegated to the Super League.
In the 2023 season, Shenzu established a young coaching team with former international Chen Tao as the head of the coaching team. It has been conducting winter training in Shenzhen for nearly a month as planned, and achieving better results in the new season is the common goal of the team.
In the past two years, Shenzu has encountered some practical difficulties. On the 9th, Shenzhen Football Association and other seven major fan organizations in Shenzhen issued a proposal with the theme of "Love Shenzhen to support Shenzu", hoping to attract the attention of all circles in Shenzhen and help Shenzu tide over the difficulties. The fans also brought this 590-word proposal to the open day, and the fans at the scene signed the proposal to express their support and love for Shenzu with practical actions.
The solidarity of the fans has also touched the players in Shenzhen Football Club. Player Zhang Yuan said: "Seeing the fans’ proposal, many fans came to see our training on the open day, which is a great encouragement. I hope we can play our own style and make good results this season. I believe that all difficulties will pass and the club will become better. " Achim Peng, a deep-rooted foreign aid, said: "The attention and encouragement of the fans is the strength for us to continue to do better. We have a large number of fan groups and hope that they will come to the stadium to cheer for Shenzu in the new season. "
