八成人认为跳槽应慎重

2/ Pilot traces giant syringe
飞行员'作画'庆疫苗接种
German pilot Samy Kramer has traced a giant syringe in the sky to remind people about the start of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in Europe. Kramer, a 20-year-old amateur pilot, had carefully plotted out the route he needed to take in advance to create the effect in the skies above Baden-Wuerttemberg.

The maneuvers included a number of 90-degree turns during the flight that lasted 1 hour and 40 minutes and covered about 280 kilometers. "There are still relatively many people opposing the vaccination and my action may be a reminder for them to think about the topic, to get things moving", Kramer told reporters.

4/ Hainan opens 3 duty-free shops
海南增三家离岛免税店
Three new offshore duty-free shops opened on Wednesday in South China's island province of Hainan to promote tax-free consumption, according to the provincial department of commerce. The three newly-opened shops are all located in the tropical resort city of Sanya, one in Sanya Phoenix International Airport and the other two in downtown Sanya. The larger of the two downtown locations has a shopping area of 95,000 square meters, offering nearly 350 international brands.

The province earlier had four duty-free shops, with two in the provincial capital, Haikou, one in Bo'ao and one in Sanya, all operated by China Duty Free Group.
