Currently, in China, there is a fever for psychoanalysis. Most therapists claim that they practise an integrated psychoanalytically oriented therapy, which means they learn and apply all techniques and theories, regardless of the differences and conflicts between them. Such "integration" represents an inclusive attitude with its underlying ideology of collectivism. It can be found throughout Chinese daily life, such as the way a good marriage is said to carry collective decisions of extended families and social expectations. And due to such an ideology, China has adopted a very different strategy from other countries to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. I point out that another attitude, "integrity"—standing for individual differences and valuing personal autonomy and boundaries—has been lacking, which causes many psychological problems and might be the main reason for people seeking help from psychotherapy. Hence, a very typical modern dilemma is how to achieve a balance between integrity and integration. I argue that "moral imagination"—covering the attitudes of forgiveness without blame and embracing conflict and pluralism—could be one of the solutions. Such tendency has been shown amongst young generations, particularly young psychotherapists.

The initiative of cooperation between Russia and China on the joint construction of the "Ice Silk Road" is a new plan for the implementation of mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries in the Arctic region using the Northern Sea Route as a guide in the context of "One Belt, One Road". This article examines in detail the great development opportunities that the Ice Silk Road initiative opens up for Northeast China, and provides an in-depth analysis of the specifi c ways that Northeast China has chosen to connect to the Ice Silk Road.

The article examines in detail the process of forming the Ice Silk Road initiative, summarizes the advantages of the Ice Silk Road and the opportunities it opens up for Russia and China. The article provides an in-depth analysis of the problems faced by Russia and China during the construction of the "Ice Silk Road", and suggests concrete feasible countermeasures. The final conclusion is that Russia and China have a good political basis and that the difficulties arising during the construction of the "Ice Silk Road" can be properly resolved thanks to complementary advantages and equal consultations. This initiative will certainly give a new impetus to further cooperation and development of the two countries.

The Peony Pavilion is a story central to Chinese gender identity. It vividly portrays a story of the path of sexual individuation of a Chinese woman. In comparison to female images in Western stories, Chinese women are the active ones in their intimate relationships with men. They have been oppressed for many years because they are recognised as the subject of desire and as having reflexive aggression. However, with enough love, a girl dares to separate from her natal family, to fight against the patriarchal system, and to be herself. Identifying with the father's aggression can facilitate her in this process.

n traditional Chinese culture, the concepts of femininity and masculinity are "plural categories" which are based on family and society, hence they are not clearly distinguished nor opposite to each other. In ancient times, people valued the power of women, channelling it by saying that women should devote themselves to benefiting the state. Meanwhile, society oppressed women by limiting them to their marital homes in order to eradicate men's unconscious fear of the destructive side of feminine power. On the other hand, for Chinese men, sexual pleasure and aggression were unwelcome, while the mother–son relationship was most important within the family, and comradeship and brotherhood between men another important aspect of relationships. Profoundly mutual relationships were not encouraged between men and women in ancient China. Even until now, all men and women and their intimate relationships have been in the service of politics. The interests of the family and state are placed above individual interests. However, the one-child policy, as the product of government decision based on population numbers rather than human factors, and implemented by coercion, has produced a generation of empowered daughters and "little emperors" who increasingly value and appreciate individualism. The new generations must learn how to develop new forms of mutuality between the partners, with evolving implications for masculinity and femininity.

Being a large country located near the Arctic and invited by Russia to jointly build the "Ice Silk Road", China cannot stay away from issues related to the development of the Northern Sea Route. In this article, the relevant literature is classified and summarized, and the method of diachronic research is used to analyze trends in the study of the Northern Sea Route in Chinese scientific circles.

AbstractStudies in medicine, bioscience, psychology, sociology, and public health have provided various contextual, individual, and vaccine‐specific explanations for vaccine uptake. However, one significant yet often ignored fact is that vaccination could be viewed as a site of citizen‐state interaction in implementing public vaccination policy. This begs the questions: What barriers create administrative burdens in vaccination? How do the experiences of administrative burdens (i.e., the learning, psychological, and compliance costs in citizen‐state interactions) shape the public's willingness to vaccinate? According to theoretical insights drawn from the extant literature on administrative burden and vaccine uptake, this study uses a conjoint experiment design based on a representative sample of China to reveal the role of administrative burdens in shaping the public's willingness to vaccinate against the monkeypox outbreak, a 'Public Health Emergency of International Concern' from July 2022 to May 2023. The experimental results suggest that multiple salient barriers have distinct effects on the respondents' learning, psychological, and compliance costs, thus significantly influencing their vaccine uptake. These findings have important implications for both future research and efforts to promote mass immunization programs.

Food security and cultivated land utilization can be seriously affected by heavy metal (HM) pollution of the soil. Therefore, identifying the pollution sources of farmland is the way to control soil pollution and enhance soil quality effectively. In this research, 95 surface soil samples, 34 vegetable samples, 27 irrigation water samples, and 20 fertilizer samples were collected from the Wuqing District of Tianjin City, China and was used to determine their HMs accumulation and potential ecological risks. Then, kriging interpolation and positive matrix factorization (PMF) were utilized to identify the sources of soil HMs. The results indicated that soil HMs in the study area were contaminated at a medium level, but that the pollution of Cd was more severe, and the Cd content in vegetables was slightly higher than the permissible threshold (0.02 mg·kg−1). Furthermore, a non-homogeneous distribution was observed, with higher concentrations of HM contaminants concentrated in the southwest of the study area, where many metal manufacturing industries are located. Our results suggest that the Cd originated from industrial activity; As and Pb from agricultural practices; Ni, Cu, Cr, and As mainly from natural sources; Zn and Cu from organic fertilizer; Pb and Cd mainly from traffic discharge; and Cr, Ni, and Pb from sewage irrigation. Obviously, the accumulation of soil HMs in the study area could be mainly attributed to industrial activities, implying the need for implementation of government strategies to reduce industrial point-source pollution.

Grandparenting is becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide, especially in Chinese society. However, the impact of grandparenting on older adults' health remains unclear. This study examined whether and how grandparenting is associated with depressive symptoms in Chinese older adults and the role of intergenerational support (i.e., financial, emotional, and instrumental support) in this relationship. Using data from the China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS) 2018 wave, the researchers employed multivariate linear regression models to investigate variations in depressive symptoms and their associations with grandparenting; the role of intergenerational support was also explored. The results indicated that older adults who engage in grandparenting, particularly in non-intensive care, experience a reduction in depressive symptoms, even after accounting for sociodemographic and health-related factors. Overall, intergenerational support plays a mediating role in the relationship between grandparenting and associated mental health outcomes. Bidirectional emotional and financial support and receiving instrumental support were associated with lower depressive symptoms among Chinese grandparents. In general, the findings of this study suggest that grandparenting, along with intergenerational support, provides certain protective health benefits for Chinese grandparents. With rapid changes in Chinese society, further prospective longitudinal studies are needed to examine family contexts in the relationship between grandchild caregiving and associated health outcomes.
