我知道「顏」 「颜」有繁簡之分，但見到日本漢字「顔」處於兩者的中間狀態（or折衷字形）時還是覺得新奇有趣。

Recently read a fascinating paper by Shum et al. (2023) which compellingly proposes that tracking language attitudes can serve as an effective, indirect measure of broader intergroup relations.

The conflation of "public stigma" (a macro-societal aggregate) with "perceived public stigma" (a micro-level individual cognitive appraisal) remains a persistent issue within stigma research. (1/4)

中國官方公布的自殺死亡率數據，似乎自 2021 年起便被「定格」了。目前能找到最新、於 2026 年 1 月出版的《2024中國衛生健康統計年鑑》（《2025中國衛生健康統計年鑑》目前尚未出版）中的死亡率表格仍停留在 2021 年的資料。換言之，數據更新進度比年鑑的名義年份整整落後了三年，這還不包含年鑑本身的一年多出版延遲。
在《2021中國衛生健康統計年鑑》中，自殺率所在的「居民年齡別疾病別死亡率（1/10萬）」表格引用的是 2020 年數據，並無異樣；但在《2022》《2023》及《2024》的年鑑中，同一表格卻反覆使用 2021 年的資料（包含自殺死亡率），似乎未曾更新。

China’s officially reported suicide mortality data appears to have 'vanished' after 2021. I checked the most recent China Health Statistical Yearbook (《中国卫生健康统计年鉴》) available — the 2024 edition, published in January 2026. The 2025 edition has not been released yet.
