II Chairman’s Statement Holly Futures Co., Ltd. 3 Annual Report 2019 Chairman’s Statement In 2019, as affected by factors including trade tensions, political instability, geopolitics and weakening corporate confidence, the world economy has been under significant pressure since the beginning of 2018 and continued to be sluggish in 2019. The key economic indicators of developed countries had continued to fall, merchandise trade slowed down significantly and industrial products of major countries had gradually entered the deflationary stage. China’s economic growth was also under pressure. The cumulative GDP growth rate slowed down from 6.7% in 2018 to 6.1% in 2019. In terms of segments, the real estate investment performed relatively stable among the three major investment segments, the infrastructure investment was dragged at a low level and the manufacturing investment declined significantly due to profit decline expectation. However, among the major consumption categories, the performances of grains, oils, foods, beverages, tobacco and alcohol, which are very indirectly related to the macro economy, were relatively stable, while other major categories, such as automobiles, petroleum products, clothing, shoes and hats, and home appliances have a slower growth. Under the environment of continuous slowdown of the world economic growth and ups and downs of the Sino-US trade negotiation, China’s economy keeps going forward despite of the instability in the world economy. In 2019, in the face of a complicated market environment, the Company stayed true to its mission, enhanced confidence to conquer difficulties. Under the scientific decision-making and strong leadership of the Board and management of the Company, all the cadres and employees, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, deeply understood the spirit of various economic work conferences and focused on the goals and tasks set at the beginning of the year through gathering strength, reform and innovation.

The turnover from brokerage of the Company represents an increase of approximately 9% as compared with the same period of last year. The turnover from over-the-counter options exceeded RMB2.6 billion, representing a two times increase as compared with the same period of last year. The market maker business scale has entered into the top 10 of the DCE and the ZCE. The service area of “Insurance + Futures” has been expanding while the Soybean Poverty-alleviation Project in Zhenlai County, Jilin Province (吉林省鎮賚縣大豆扶貧項目) obtained the second prize in the Nanjing Financial Innovation Project (南京市金融創新項目二等獎).

    e-ISSN 2385-3042 Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie orientale Vol. 57 – Giugno 2021 North of Dai: Armed Communities and Military Resources in Late Medieval China (880-936) Maddalena Barenghi Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia Abstract This article discusses various aspects of the formation of the Shatuo as a complex constitutional process from armed mercenary community to state found- ers in the waning years of Tang rule and the early tenth century period (880-936). The work focuses on the territorial, economic, and military aspects of the process, such as the strategies to secure control over resources and the constitution of elite privileges through symbolic kinship ties. Even as the region north of the Yanmen Pass (Daibei) remained an important pool of recruits for the Shatuo well into the tenth century, the Shatuo leaders struggled to secure control of their core manpower, progressively moving away from their military base of support, or losing it to their competitors.

  • Historiography and Narratives of the Later Tang (923-936) and Later Jin (936-947) Dynasties in Tenth- to Eleventh- Century Sources
    Historiography and Narratives of the Later Tang (923-936) and Later Jin (936-947) Dynasties in Tenth- to Eleventh- century Sources Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophie an der Ludwig‐Maximilians‐Universität München vorgelegt von Maddalena Barenghi Aus Mailand 2014 Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Hans van Ess Zweitgutachter: Prof. Tiziana Lippiello Datum der mündlichen Prüfung: 31.03.2014 ABSTRACT Historiography and Narratives of the Later Tang (923-36) and Later Jin (936-47) Dynasties in Tenth- to Eleventh-century Sources Maddalena Barenghi This thesis deals with historical narratives of two of the Northern regimes of the tenth-century Five Dynasties period. By focusing on the history writing project commissioned by the Later Tang (923-936) court, it first aims at questioning how early-tenth-century contemporaries narrated some of the major events as they unfolded after the fall of the Tang (618-907). Second, it shows how both late- tenth-century historiographical agencies and eleventh-century historians perceived and enhanced these historical narratives. Through an analysis of selected cases the thesis attempts to show how, using the same source material, later historians enhanced early-tenth-century narratives in order to tell different stories. The five cases examined offer fertile ground for inquiry into how the different sources dealt with narratives on the rise and fall of the Shatuo Later Tang and Later Jin (936- 947). It will be argued that divergent narrative details are employed both to depict in different ways the characters involved and to establish hierarchies among the historical agents.

The dimensions of the hands and feet have been successfully used for the estimation of stature. A total of 26,927 healthy adult subjects, comprising 13,221 men and 13,706 women, were recruited. The survey samples were chosen through random cluster sampling. The mean values were significantly higher in men than those in women for all measurements (P<0.001). All the measurements showed a statistically significant correlation with stature (P<0.01). The combination of the right hand length and the right foot length was the best predictor of stature because it had the lowest standard error of estimate. The use of multiple regression equations yielded better results than did the use of linear regression equations.

  • And Tenth-Century Turkic Shatuo
    ninth-and tenth-century turkic shatuo Asia Major (2019) 3d ser. Vol. 32.1: 53-86 maddalena barenghi Representations of Descent: Origin and Migration Stories of the Ninth- and Tenth-century Turkic Shatuo abstract: Modern scholarship has explored aspects of the origin stories of the Shatuo. The latter were the military elite of Turkic extraction who dominated northern China in the second half of the ninth century and built the foundation of four of the north- ern regimes of the first half of the tenth. This article compares three specific origin stories that differ significantly: 1. the entombed epitaph of Li Keyong (856–907); 2. the Jiu Wudai shi’s chapter “Wuhuang ji” (“Basic Annals of the Martial Emperor [Li Keyong]”); and 3. the “Shatuo liezhuan” (“Shatuo Memoir”), namely, chapter 218 of Xin Tang shu. The primary argument here is that each of these narratives has uniquely reassessed Li Keyong’s historical role and political legitimacy. Moreover, the article questions the narrative of the alleged southeastward migration of the Sha- tuo–Zhuxie from territories northwest of Beiting to Hedong during the second half of the eighth century and early-ninth century, arguing that this narrative was enhanced in the “Shatuo liezhuan” as a means to create an image of the Shatuo as “subjugated barbarians.” keywords: Shatuo, Li Keyong, Chinese historiography, funerary biography, epitaph, migration, Tur- kic peoples, medieval elite, Hedong INTRODUCTION ao Runeng’s 姚如能 early-ninth-century An Lushan shiji 安祿山事迹 Y (Deeds of An Lushan) states that:1 The Hexi and Longyou military governor and prince of the peace- ful west Geshu Han was made vice-commander; he had control over all the non-Chinese units of the He and Long region: the Nula, the Xiedie, the Zhuxie, the Qibi, the Hun, the Dailin, the Xijie, the Shatuo, the Pengzi, the Chumi, the Tuyuhun, and the Sijie,2 [in all] Maddalena Barenghi, Institut für Sinologie, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität I want to thank Asia Major’s two anonymous reviewers for their valuable suggestions.
