A female passenger from Yunnan arrived in Guangzhou early because of a change of booking, and did not get on the flight to escape, but she still had 6 relatives and friends on the flight. "One of them is my sister," she said sadly, and they had agreed to go to Guangzhou for a memorial service together. Relatives in my hometown lit hundreds of candles to pray for their relatives and friends.
According to comprehensive media reports, the female passenger who escaped the accident originally planned with 6 friends to board China Eastern Airlines MU5735 and flew from Kunming to Guangzhou to attend the memorial service. She arrived in Guangzhou ahead of schedule after changing her ticket, and the other six friends took off on time at 1:15 pm on the 21st. They were all lost after the accident.
Among the six passengers, one was a teenager, four were women in their 40s, and the other was a man in his 30s. Five of them are from Shuangjiang Lahu, Wa, Bulang and Dai Autonomous County of Lincang City, Yunnan Province, and one woman is from Guizhou.
The female passenger who arrived in Guangzhou was very sad. She said that the flight was full of relatives and friends, one of which was her sister. "I am now in Guangzhou waiting for news from the airline."
Another family member of the six relatives and friends, Ms. Chen, is now in Myanmar and has not been able to go to the crash site for the time being. "My sister and best friend were on that plane," she said sadly. "My family in Myanmar stayed up with me last night." Together, they lit two rows of candles from the intersection to the door to pray for relatives and friends, hoping to get good news.
When boarding the plane, passengers hold a bag of flower cakes
In addition, after the plane crash of China Eastern Airlines, a flight attendant who often flies to Kunming and Guangzhou wrote about the line online, "Kunming to Guangzhou is a tourist route, many passengers from Guangzhou will buy flower cakes when they go home, and there are also many young People go to Guangzhou to work, and they often go on business trips with glasses and bags, and even if they fly for 2 hours, they have to use the computer for office work.”
She wrote, "It takes about 2 hours to fly from Kunming to Guangzhou, and the flight has been very bumpy recently." "Most of the passengers on this route (Kunming to Guangzhou) are very polite and travel with no luggage. When they board the plane, they basically have a bag of flower cakes."
The rescue work for 132 people on the China Eastern Airlines flight is still continuing, and there are no foreign passengers on the crashed flight. At present, there have been long queues at the counters of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, and many people who were going to take the flight expressed that they wanted to refund their tickets and change to the high-speed rail.

(We Chinese in America Media Editor Tang Zhao, March 21, 2022) According to media reports, technology and financial consulting companies are rushing for talents; college graduates from related departments have an annual starting salary of $100,000.

This year's college graduates are expected to earn high starting salaries in the six figures if they enter big technology, financial and consulting firms.
In recent years, Wall Street banks, blue-chip consulting companies, etc., have increased their salaries to compete with large technology companies for talent. These small and medium-sized enterprises and some venture-funded start-up companies have not hesitated to spend a lot of money, with a salary of at least $100,000 plus stock subscription rights, to attract a rookie with no industry experience.
Take JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and a number of other banks, which last year raised their first-year analyst salaries to $100,000, and soon increased their starting salaries by $10,000. As for large consulting firms, such as McKinsey & Co. and Boston Consulting Group, they have also raised their starting salary to a new bottom line of $100,000. The global head of recruiting at Rookies at Bain & Co. also said the company is also looking at six-figure starting salaries for new recruits.
In the context of a booming economic recovery and an extremely tight labor market, it is all right to attract talents with high salaries. However, for some old people, it is easy to generate jealousy and dissatisfaction, so that these new recruits are not welcome. The reason is that when these old people enter the job, the salary for the same position is about $70,000 to $80,000 at most.
Take Milly Wang, who works in an investment bank as an example. When she joined after graduating from Harvard in 2016, her starting salary was $ 85,000. But Anuhya Tadepalli, who just graduated from Cornell University's Economics and Management Department this year, was paid $110,000 for the same job at the same bank.
Wang Mili said she had heard many dissatisfied voices from her colleagues; Tate Barry also believed that it was crazy that a person who had just graduated from college could make so much money.
The U.S. workforce is 550,000 fewer than it was before the pandemic, according to the latest federal data, with many seasoned professionals retiring early or quitting their jobs to start businesses, compounding the shortage. In the past, well-known large companies that did not worry about no one seeking employment now also need new college graduates to fill the vacancies, especially when the competition for top talents is more intense.
The average worker earns about $42,000 a year, according to Census Bureau data, and most of them have never had six figures in their careers.

At a time when countries around the world are trying to seize and freeze the assets of Russian oligarchs, the "free port" (free port) duty-free storage that these rich people often use to store valuables and works of art has not been searched in various countries, at least so far.
The warehouses, which are often located near railroads or airports, are not considered to be imported into the host country, subject to inspections or customs duties, Bloomberg reported. In the era when air travel became popular, some people needed to temporarily store items when transiting, and free ports came into being. As the art market has boomed over the past decade, catering to wealthy collectors seeking tax breaks when shipping art across borders, the number of free ports has exploded.
The country where the free port is located has its own regulations on these special areas, but there are still loopholes to be drilled.
For example, in Switzerland and the United States, items stored in free ports do not need to disclose the beneficial owner, that is, the ultimate physical owner of the item. This ultimate owner can be a holding company or other legal entity. In this way, a sanctioned individual remains the actual owner as long as he hides behind a shell company. While many shipping companies and Freeports require a driver’s license or passport from those authorized to move the artwork, those who come forward may be U.S. representatives of foreign companies controlled by sanctioned individuals.
Several experts have pointed out that Russian billionaires who already have art in the free port are likely to remain there after being placed on the sanctions list, rather than trying to transport it elsewhere or sell it. First, the haulage company and Freeport staff will not take the risk, and secondly, no one usually rushes to buy art from the sanctioned unless it is sold at a super low price.
However, the wealthy Russians who have not yet been included in the sanctions list but feel they are likely to be the next target, the free port should now be very attractive to them, if the art they own can be placed in a tax-free warehouse in an unrelated country, has a higher chance of being safe without damage.

(We Chinese in America Media Editor Tang Zhao, March 18, 2022) California plans to provide residents with gas tax rebate subsidies. (AAA)
The California Legislature plans to introduce a bill to provide a $400 gasoline tax rebate for each taxpayer in California to relieve the financial pressure on residents due to high oil prices. (California plans to provide residents with gas tax rebate subsidies. Photo from Triple A)
The $9 billion tax rebate program is funded by California's budget surplus, which was estimated at more than $45 billion at the beginning of the year. Lawmakers say the $400 rebate could help relieve California residents from paying gas taxes. The $400 petrol rebate will also be paid to taxpayers who do not own or drive a car.
After 11 years, California receives another 760 million special funds
Most of the legislators who proposed the proposal were Democrats. At the same time, according to the Los Angeles Times, some Republican lawmakers want to temporarily suspend the gasoline tax, but the move does not guarantee that oil companies will save money back to consumers, and the temporary suspension of the gasoline tax will also lead to a negative impact on the source of funding for major transportation projects.
Since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine, oil prices have continued to rise across the U.S., especially in California, where taxes are the highest. And high oil prices are not expected to abate anytime soon.
