Liu Fang,who works as a media worker in Beijing,goes to a store specializing in selling near-expired (將要過期的) food in Sanlitun and returns with a bag of snacks or drinks every week.
   "The price tags on these goods have caught my eye.They are often sold at 10 percent to 30 percent of the market price," Liu said. "More importantly,most of them are from big brands.Why wouldn't I love them?"
   Liu is among the increasing number of Chinese people who enjoy purchasing near-expired food at much cheaper prices.According to the latest report by iiMedia Research,the near-expired food industry had a market size of over 30 billion yuan in 2020.Young consumers aged between 26 and 35 accounted for 47.8 percent.
   Unlike the traditional thinking that buying such goods is embarrassing,more and more young people regard it as a kind of sustainable consumption that can help reduce food waste.
   "I don't care much about the date as long as I can eat it before its expiry.It meets my demand while saving resources and protecting the environment,which is a good thing," Wu Lin,a 19-year-old college student and a fan of near-expired food,told Xinhua.
   Indeed,food waste is a great challenge for China and other countries.According to a 2020 report from the National People's Congress,about 18 billion kilograms of food is wasted every year in China's urban catering industry (餐飲業(yè)).
   "As more Chinese people choose to buy near-expired food,the food waste will be reduced," said Liu.
According to CGTN,China had the tradition of saving food over the decades leading to the 1990s.
   As people's lives improved greatly,many began to make or order more food than could be consumed,CGTN reported.But the trend of buying near-expired food may suggest that the Chinese virtue of frugality (節(jié)約) is staging a comeback.
   "I've been very frugal all my life.Living through a serious famine (1959-61)(饑荒),I'm used to saving every grain and every penny," Zhang Xin,a retired woman born in the 1950s,told CGTN. "I'm happy to see more young people,who used to spend extravagantly(奢侈地),joining our ranks."

  • 2.    Recently,four professors of neuroscience were awarded the Brain Prize for their life changing contributions to the research on migraines(偏頭痛),a disease previously not understood well.
        Professor Michael Moskowitz from Harvard Medical School,Peter Goadsby from King's College London,Lars Edvinsson from Lund University in Sweden,and Jes Olesen from Rigshospitalet,Denmark,were celebrated as the recipients of the Brain Prize,the world's most distinguished award highlighting achievements in brain research.The Crown Prince of Denmark presented the four professors with a grand prize of roughly 1.5 million dollars on October 25 in Copenhagen,Denmark.
        Migraines remain one of the most serious and common neurological illnesses millions around the world suffer.Studies show that women are three times more likely to experience frequent and intense migraines than men,and symptoms can last up to 24 hours.Typically,these intense head-throbbing pains are also accompanied by vomiting(嘔吐),dizziness and sensitivity to sound,light,and touch.
        After over forty years of research,the four professors pinpointed the major cause — chemicals released within the brain.Previously,the main causes of migraines were thought to be stress,pressure or anxiety.In 1979,Professor Michael Moskowitz discovered that headaches occur when thin nerves are found in our head and face to interact with a highly-sensitive membrane(膜) surrounding our brain,releasing chemicals called neuropeptides.These chemicals can then cause the blood vessels in our head to expand and also send pain signals to the brain.Later,research by Professor Goadsby and Edvinsson revealed that the specific neuropeptide which plays the central role in causing the intense headache is calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP).Then,Professor Olesen's work further confirmed that CGRP is indeed responsible for the pain,rather than a chemical produced in the brain as a result of the migraines.
        The work by these scientists paves the way for developing more effective medicine.While past treatments can only temporarily stop the pain,scientists say that the newly developed drugs not only prevent migraines but also don't cause the harmful side effects patients had to endure.
