Fri/Sat/Sun March 16~18, 2018 02 ❘ shenzhen At a Glance SHENZHEN will be connected to other Pearl River Delta cities within a one-hour circle by a high-speed rail network by 2020, according to Qian Chunyang, a deputy to the National People’s Congress (NPC). The high-speed rail network will connect all 21 prefecture- level cities in Guangdong Pro- vince. In a speech at the plenary meeting of the Guangdong del- egation to the 13th NPC, Qian, who is also the chief engineer with Guangzhou Railway Tech- nology Development Institute, a research institute under Guangzhou Railway Group Corp., said the high-speed rail network will reach 2,319 kilo- meters in Guangdong by 2020, an around 50 percent increase over the present length. At present, the network has connected 16 prefecture-level cities, and work in another five cities, namely Heyuan, Mei- zhou, Yangjiang, Zhanjiang and Maoming, is under way. A total of 12 railways, including five high-speed rails, link Guangdong with other provinces. According to Qian, Guangdong plans to initiate eight high-speed rail projects in the coming three years, including five projects that will kick off this year. Work on the Jiangmen- Shenzhen section of the Shenzhen-Maoming high-speed rail, the Shantou-Shanwei and Longchuan-Meizhou rails, as well as the Meizhou-Longyan rail and a rail link between Foshan and Danzhao, will commence this year. The railway network will reach 5,340 kilometers in Guangdong, 1,134 kilometers, or 27 percent, more than the present length. Particularly, the coverage of high-speed rail will be increased by 50 percent to 2,319, kilome- ters, accounting for 43.4 percent of total railway length. Travelers from Shenzhen can reach Beijing and other North China cities in only nine hours, Yangtze River cities in 11 hours and southwestern cities, includ- ing Chengdu, Chongqing and Kunming, in six hours. The capital cities in South China can be reached in just three hours. (Han Ximin) Tan Yifan [email protected] EIGHT preferential policies designed for Hong Kong and Macao residents have been implemented in Qianhai, which enable them to be employed and live there more conveniently. An information session was held Thursday in Qianhai to release the detailed polices. According to the authority, residents from Hong Kong and Macao can now be employed directly by Qianhai enterprises without a proof of employment permit. They can also apply for social security and tax subsidies without the employment permit. Those who have worked in Qian- hai can now apply for the housing fund as Shenzhen citizens. To encourage more talents to work in Qianhai, the authority has allowed 137 architecture- related companies to conduct business in Qianhai, which means more Hong Kong and Macao professionals, such as certified accountants, architects, social workers and certified tax agents, can practice there. Qianhai has also built and pur- chased over 4,700 apartments to secure tenancy, for which Hong Kong and Macao applicants have priority in applying. The authority said there are 194 Hong Kong and Macao resi- dents enjoying the tax subsidy, 600 Hong Kong college intern students working there and 158 Hong Kong and Macao startup teams being incubated there. A COLLEGE student who worked for an illegal e-com- merce company in Shenzhen without knowledge regained her freedom after the local procura- torate reviewed the detention penalty against her last year. The case was among 100 cases that the Supreme People’s Procuratorate has singled out as examples of reviewing deten- tion penalty against those who had been unwittingly involved in crime and withdrawing or mitigating detention decisions, sznews.com reported. Shenzhen’s procuratorate departments were awarded for their efforts in reassessing two cases regarding college gradu- ates falling for career traps. One of the students, surnamed Hu, was a senior in a university when she started looking for a job. Through a legal job-seeking website, Hu found a position at the e-commerce company. Hu started to work for the company while still preparing her graduation thesis. Her duty was to solicit customers to engage in futures trading for the company through social media platforms. Hu was asked to help custom- ers of the company top up their accounts on an online platform and trade virtual agricultural products. She realized something was wrong as her employer would ask her to pretend to be a customer and lie to the other customers about earning large profits. Hu wanted to quit the job, but the company threatened to with- hold three months of back pay, which amounted to more than 9,000 yuan (US$1,426). The e-commerce company was soon investigated and all directors, managers and other employees were detained for allegedly run- ning a gambling den. A police investigation showed the company’s stakeholders were using the platform to orga- nize gambling. Gross-roots staff members like Hu were soliciting customers to put money on the platform and make bets by pur- chasing futures. Feeling it was wrong, Hu and her family applied for a review of her detention penalty with the help of a lawyer with the Long- gang People’s Procuratorate. The procurators contacted Hu’s university to confirm her enrollment at the university and learned she was graduating. Considering Hu’s future and the mild circumstances of her crime, the procuratorate granted Hu a guarantor pending trial. According to the procurator- ate, Hu’s case is not rare nation- wide, as some illicit companies take advantage of graduating students’ eagerness to find jobs and use them to commit crimes. (Zhang Qian) “THIS is not a heroic feat, but it’s possible to save a person’s life. I think it’s worth it to have this experience once in a lifetime,” said Zhang Cunhua, the 7,152nd and 242nd donor of hematopoi- etic stem cells in China and in Shenzhen, respectively. Zhang, 41, is a staffer of the offices administration of Futian District Government. He donated hematopoietic stem cells at the Shenzhen Blood Center on March 9, keeping hope alive for a 13-year-old leukemia patient in Guangzhou. Zhang first heard of donating hematopoietic stem cells back in 2002, when he was donating blood. “After I learned that a bone marrow transplant could really help some patients with blood diseases, I filled in the application form,” he said. Zhang has insisted on donat- ing blood for the past 16 years. Last November, he received a call from the blood center, telling him that his blood information had matched with a patient. According to statistics, the probability of siblings matching is 25 percent, but the probability of matching nonrelatives lies in the range of one in a 100,000 to one in a million. Zhang told the news to his wife and had a body examination and began to prepare for the dona- tion. During the Spring Festival, he stopped drinking alcohol and gave up smoking. “As a parent, I can fully understand the expectations of the other family. So I must be absolutely prepared,” said Zhang, after he was told that the patient is a 13-year-old boy, the same age as his daughter. Except his wife, Zhang hadn’t mentioned the donation to anyone, even at his workplace. It wasn’t until they received an official letter about his leave of absence that his co-workers knew his “secret.” It was sent from the blood center, as Zhang needed to be hospitalized during the donation.
