With the complicated international situation and unexpected conflicts all over the world, the Sino-US trade negotiation made progress despite twists and turns, and finally, the two countries entered into the Phase-one Economic and Trade Agreement on 15 January 2020. It indicates that the two major economies in the world reached a temporary ceasefire after a trade war that lasted 18 months. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, China’s GDP recorded a growth of 6.1% in 2019, which was the lowest since 1990. Confronted by the complicated economic environment, the Chinese government strengthened the macro counter-cyclic adjustments, which realised steady progress in economic development, maintained reasonable economic operation, promoted high-quality development, and achieved growth. During the year, most small and medium enterprises faced great difficulties during transformation and great pressure in terms of cost and funds. In terms of the water purifier industry, the reports released by AVC revealed that the market size of water purifiers was RMB13.83 billion as at the first half of 2019 with a year-on-year increase of 1.3%; the volume of retail sales was 5.02 million units with a year-on-year increase of 8.6%. According to the latest offline data from FEB, the overall retail sales of water purifiers reached RMB328.31 million in November 2019 with a year-on-year decrease of 17.8%, and the volume of retail sales was 87,000 units with a year-on-year decrease of 18.9%. Water purifiers entered into the bottleneck period after several years’ development. The market experienced a growth bottleneck in the first and second-tier cities, and it still takes time to achieve growth in the third and fourth-tier cities. As the growth of the water purifier industry slowed down, the market entered into the phase of competing for existed market share. Therefore, water purifier enterprises have been going through market exploration and transformation. Despite slower growth, the water purifier market was still on the rise on the whole, and the market size is expected to realise continuous expansion. The development of the water purification industry in China was divided into two phases in recent years. The first phase was the popularisation of the water purifier market, and the second phase still required the concerted efforts of all the participants in the water purifier industry. The popularisation rate of water purifiers in China was much lower than that of some advanced countries due to lack of industry standards and consumers’ consciousness of the safety of drinking water. In developed countries, the market penetration of household water purifiers exceeded 80%. For example, the market penetration of water purifiers reached 80% in Japan, 90% in US and 95% in Korea. On the contrary, the market penetration of household water purifiers in China was only about 20%, with only some first-tier cities having higher market penetration of over 30%. This disparity indicates that there is a significant gap between China and some advanced countries. In recent years, consumers have increasingly higher demands for water purifiers with the continuous improvement in living standard and power of consumption. In the future, the market penetration of water purifiers is expected to be on the rise. In terms of the development of water purification enterprises, water purification enterprises need to seek solutions for various scenarios in order to break through the boundary of household water purification. In recent years, water purification enterprises mainly focus on upgrading terminal water purifiers. Under the backdrop of consumption upgrades and popularisation of healthy drinking awareness, consumers are paying more attention to health, quality and high-end functions when selecting water purifiers, and the traditional only one-terminal water purifier can no longer satisfy people’s demands. This indicates that, in the future, in addition to upgrading terminal water purifiers, water purification enterprises shall also explore users’ water consumption scenarios, provide solutions with several modes of installation for various scenarios and groups such as the Internet of Things (“IoT”) and functional water, realise the purification transition from “drinking water” to “domestic water”, and break through the limitations of water purification. At present, the continuous development of artificial intelligence, cloud technology, technology relating to the IoT and big data technology indicates that people are recreating their home environment from a high-tech perspective. In particular, the younger generation in China is upgrading their home devices for better living at home. 6 OZNER WATER INTERNATIONAL HOLDING LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019 CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT AND MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) In addition to household use, water purifiers are also extensively applied in the commercial market. Commercial water purifiers are mainly targeted at the public drinking water market, including more than 20 million registered enterprises, more than 9,500 hospitals, over 1 million schools, over 200 airports, over 2,000 stations and more than 12,000 starred hotels, with huge market accommodation.

I argue that by adapting the well-known patriotic story of General Yue Fei in Chinese history, Zhou Yingfang suggests new directions in grand historical narrative in her own voice and from her own perspective. Negotiating the writing conventions of earlier legends, she turns the stereotyped masculine image of Yue Fei into a hero in both public and domestic settings.

  • Wang Tiande: Transforming Art by Collecting
    Wang Tiande: Transforming Art by Collecting ARTISTS AS COLLECTORS ang Tiande (b. 1960) is among China’s leading contemporary ink artists. Trained in Chinese painting and Wcalligraphy at the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts (now China Academy of Art), Wang is well versed in classical aesthetics and literati idealism, but remains conscious not to let tradition limit his creativity. After years of experimentation, one day during an art residency in Paris in 2002 he accidentally burned a mark on some Xuan paper and noticed its beauty. Recognizing the chance to develop a unique style, he devoted the next 15 years to evolving and perfecting it by using incense sticks to create silhouettes of calligraphy and paintings, one stroke at a time. Wang attributes his most recent artistic inspiration to collecting. He rummages through ancient calligraphy, ink paintings and stone tablets for pieces that resonate with his creative impulse. His pictorial language, comprising burned marks on bast paper, meticulously layered onto an ink painting he has done on Xuan paper, and sometimes audaciously mounted over an original ancient work, invites reflection on the synthesis of past and present, technicality and spirituality, legacy and potential. His multifaceted approach to incorporating antiquity into his new works prompts criticism as well as admiration from both contemporary artists and antique collectors, and curiosity from all. In preparation for his forthcoming solo exhibition at the Guangdong Museum of Art, the artist committed himself to an arduous programme of solitary work throughout the summer. In the heat of August, Xin de la Guerrande visited Wang in his Shanghai studio on behalf of Orientations to discuss his experiences as a collector and the rationale behind his creations.
