THE Shenzhen-based electric carmaker BYD was selected as one of the “50 Most Admirable Chinese Companies” by For-tune magazine, while its two stocks were on the list of the new China “Nifty 50” released by U.S. investment bank Goldman Sachs, according to sznews.com.

BYD ranked fi fth on the list of the “50 Most Admirable Chinese Companies” released by Fortune

magazine, which showed that the company’s soft power has been recognized by its competitors.

The new China “Nifty 50” list released by Goldman Sachs chose 50 stocks with a minimum daily liquidity of US$470 million and an EPS (earning per share) growth of 23 percent between 2017 and 2019.

BYD is the only company with two stocks selected on the list, meaning the company is

BYD among ‘most admirable fi rms’

A GAS explosion last month resulted in Li Yanfang, a 56-year-old sanitation worker in the city, suffering from severe, life-threat-ening burns, which covered almost 90 percent of her body.

Li’s family can no longer afford the costly medical expenses and have had to ask for help from society, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported.

The accident took place on the evening of Sept. 19 when Li was cooking dinner in her tiny rental apartment in Shangsha Village. To save money, Li was using a small gas stove that might not have met safety standards, the report said. The explosion and fi re caused burns all over Li’s body.

Li comes from Shandong Pro-vince and has been living alone in Shenzhen for a few years. Li works as a cleaner with a salary of only a little over 2,000 yuan (US$304) per month.

So far, Li and her family have already spent 340,000 yuan since she was hospitalized for surgeries and treatment. Li’s son, Chen Jianming, said he works in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, and seldom contacts his mother.

Chen said he received a phone call from his cousin, who also lives in Shenzhen, the night of the accident. “My cousin called me when in the hospital and I could hear doctors saying that the chance to save her life was little,” said Chen.

According to Li’s medical records, she passed out due to losing too much blood and over 90 percent of her body had been severely burned. Li’s eyes and respiratory tract were injured by the smoke.

Li was later moved into the ICU. Chen was told that his mother would need another seven or eight surgeries, which would cost nearly 1 million yuan.

“The medical expense is shockingly high and we just had the fi rst two surgeries,” said Chen. He attempted to borrow money from their relatives, but that couldn’t help much.

Chen’s father died of cancer over a decade ago, leaving a large debt. However, Li never told her children about the debt and had been working to pay off the debt herself. She was planning to go to Shandong on Sept. 27 to pay back the last of the debt.

Li’s daughter said her mom could still talk and that she had tried to persuade them to give up her treatment. “I have to lie to her that it doesn’t cost much money to treat her.”

Severely burned woman needs help

A FAMILY in Bao’an District once again proved that Shenzhen is a loving city with respectable actions.

The Zhong family donated their son’s organs after he suf-fered from brain death following a rupture of the cerebral vessels Sept. 14. The high-school stu-dent, identifi ed as Xiaoxiong, was pronounced brain dead after treatment failed at a hospital.

Despite great sorrow, Xiaox-iong’s father, Zhong, decided to donate his son’s organs to those who are desperate for organ transplants to survive. The family agreed with Zhong’s

decision and signed the papers.Xiaoxiong’s organs, including

his kidneys, liver and corneas, were transplanted to seven patients who regained health after the transplants.

The father said that although he had no idea who had received Xiaoxiong’s organs, he knew that his son’s life is continuing. “In doing so, I believe that my son is still living in the world,” said Zhong.

Zhong has been suffering from diabetes for more than 10 years and is still on medication. He came to Shenzhen from Heyuan, a city in the middle of Guangdong,

28 years ago and runs a small shoe store in Fuyong.

The family was not wealthy, and with their son’s death the Zhongs are suffering from even more diffi culties.

Learning the family’s harsh situation, the Bao’an Charity Federation decided to offer fi nancial aid to Zhong and his family. The federation’s chief secretary, Liu Guoling, said that Xiaoxiong’s organs had brought hope to seven families, and that the Zhong family is a loving and respectable one that should gain more support from society.

Family donates deceased son’s organs

SIGNING a prenuptial agreement has conventionally been deemed an act that would undermine a couple’s affections for each other, but it is becoming a trendy way to protect one’s property before marriage among Shenzhen residents, especially the younger generation, the Shenzhen Eco-nomic Daily reported.

Yao Yicun, an offi cial with the Shenzhen Notary Offi ce, said that more young people in Shenzhen had inquired about prenuptial agreement service over the past few years at a public day held by the offi ce over the weekend.

Yao said that the increasing interest in the service among young people showed that the younger generation has a stron-

ger sense of protecting their personal property.

Under the infl uence of tradi-tional mindsets, many hold the opinion that getting a prenuptial agreement before marriage may cast a shadow on the marriage.

The perception is gradually changing as a growing number of prenuptial agreement services is being required at notary offi ces, said Yao.

A woman in her early 20s came to the public day event Saturday to inquire about the prenuptial agreement service. The woman said she had paid the down payment on an apartment and wondered if she needed to conduct a notary service on her properties before marriage

in order to preserve her rights.The woman said she was con-

cerned about her property rights and wished to confi rm her prop-erties by legal means.

A notary offi cer said at the public day event that there had been an increasing number of cases of applicants submitting forged materials, especially fake marriage certifi cates, birth certifi cates and household reg-istration booklets.

The offi cer also revealed Sat-urday that they had recently uncovered a man who was using the identity of his brother’s wife to apply for notary services. Both the man and his brother’s wife were put under detention by police.

A total of 38 documents were found to be forged or belonging to someone other than the appli-cants in 2016, and the number so far this year is 24.

The notary service of intel-lectual property is another item that has been growing on the business front in recent years as more people are starting their own businesses with their unique ideas and inventions. In 2016, the municipal offi ce pro-vided notary services for 4,839 intellectual properties.

Shenzhen set up the fi rst notary service of intellectual property in Guangdong Pro-vince earlier this year, aiming to provide effi cient legal notary service. (Zhang Qian)
