This is a clean and tidy office. A photo is displayed on the wall. It shows the Memory Stationery staff standing proud in front of a new warehouse. Everyone’s face is full of optimism.  But today the company atmosphere is tense. A4, the CEO of the company, is at his desk and on the phone; he is facing out the window at the sky. His facial expression is timid.

“I hear you, Mr. Scissors,” says A4. “But it’s impossible. I can’t take our prices down that low. You’re asking me to sacrifice our entire profit margin.”

A4 sits in silence as he listens to the response. A bead of sweat runs down the CEO’s face. The voice on the other end is frightening him.

“Sir, last month I discounted our products to the bottom line… Yes, but, please, sir, I’m just an
honest wholesaler. I promise I’m not trying to take advantage of you… Other retailers are happy to pay market rate—”

A4 suddenly pulls the phone away from his ear. The voice is furious and aggressive. It is blasting out the tiny speaker. When the harsh noise calms down, A4 puts the phone back to his ear.

“No, please, don’t cut me. Please, sir. You’re right, okay? You’re right. That was rude of me, I’m
sorry… I know. I’m a scrap. You’re right. I’m no better than a tissue. You’re right…”

A4 changes his tone. He isn’t pleading anymore. He sounds like he has given up.

“Mr. Scissors. I’ll look at our margins and call you back. There might be some way we can go down lower…”

A4 hangs up the phone. He leans back in his chair. His eyes are glazed over. He is deep in
contemplation. He imagines the brutal scenario of Mr. Scissors cutting him into a thousand pieces.

Throughout this entire time, A4 has been recording the conversation onto his paper body. This is his natural ability. A4’s unmistakable memory is the reason why he is the CEO.

A4 picks up the phone and dials a number. Life returns to his eyes.

“Backpack, get everyone together in the meeting room. I have an announcement.”

안녕하세요! 여러분 잘 지내고 있나요?
한국은 아직도 너무 너무 더워요.
밖에서 걷다 보면 마치 아이스크림처럼 녹아버릴 것 같아요.
그런데 오히려 카페나 식당에 가면 에어컨을 세게 틀어서 추울 때가 많아요.
이럴 때 냉방병을 조심해야 해요!

Do you know what 냉방병 is?
And have you ever caught one before?

健康码和行程码，你了解过吗？
如果你住在中国，你会发现，疫情期间，人人都在用的，除了口罩，就是健康码了。
在这个“绿码走遍天下，红码寸步难行”的时期，无论你是进超市，还是进公司大楼，听到最多的话就是：来，健康码出示一下！
那么，这种健康码是怎么逐渐流行起来的？
2020年2月，中国疫情正处于最严重的时间。人们应该如何生活和工作成为焦点。此时，一个叫做“钟毅”的警察接到了政府的紧急任务——制定健康码。这是一个全新的想法。他们没有任何可以参考的东西。因此，颜色、图形结构、空间安排等每一个细节都需要反复确定。而这个过程，钟毅和他的团队用了48个小时。更新系统近30多次，接听咨询电话380多个，走访不同地区50多个。最终，他们制定出来了。感染了新冠病毒的人，医院会把病人的信息上传到健康码里面。他的健康码就会变成红色。跟他接触过的人健康码会变成黄色。而其他的人，则是绿色。当天下午，健康码正式向全国人民开放使用。“健康码”普及全国，为中国的防疫工作提供了一张地图。
行程码是由中国的通信公司制定的一种二维码。手机定位能告诉你14天内到过的所有地方的信息。在确保信息安全的情况下，为疫情防控、道路通行、出入境等提供了可靠的技术。
面对新冠病毒，中国实行的是“清零”政策，健康码和行程码的作用就体现出来了。根据你的行程和所接触人的情况，健康码和行程码会出现绿色、黄色、红色。绿色代表你很健康，没有感染新冠病毒。黄色代表你可能接触过感染新冠病毒的人。红色代表你跟感染新冠病毒的人有非常近的关系，你有90%的可能已经感染病毒了。

什么是健康码和行程码？

Уже апрель.
Весну всегда ждут с нетерпением. Она даёт надежду и тепло. Весной просыпается желание жить активно, наслаждаться солнечными лучами под звуки пения птиц. Весна - это не просто очередная пора года. Это состояние души. Время новых планов и идей. 

Ты со мной? 

Весна - это состояние души
