Plague in the eyes of science fiction writers | Interview with Wang Jinkang

    Text/Shanghai Pudong New Area Science Fiction Association

  When it comes to domestic novels related to plague, the first thing that comes to my mind is Wang Jinkang, his Cross.

  Then, considering the friends outside the science fiction circle, I think we should introduce these science fiction writers, including themselves (gossip), their works, achievements and comments, and then their views on the plague. (Friends who are familiar with the science fiction circle can directly fast-forward to the back, and don’t spray if you don’t like it.)

Wang Jinkang

 

  Famous question and answer

  1. What do science fiction writers think of the plague?

  A: Diseases, including infectious diseases, are unavoidable sufferings of human beings. No matter how advanced medicine is, human beings have to accompany it forever. We can only minimize the sacrifice on this premise. For example, the virus that exists in the wild animal population, we can completely ban game, but as long as the virus exists, it will infect people sooner or later. As the footprint of human beings becomes wider and wider, this prospect is inevitable. What we can do is to be prepared and respond as soon as possible in the event of an epidemic.

  2. Apart from the negative impact of the plague on human society, what other promoting effects are there?

  Answer: It can’t be said that it can’t be avoided, so human beings can only choose to face it, which correspondingly promotes the progress of medicine. Just like the war in human society, although disgusting, it is inevitable, at least in the foreseeable historical stage, so all countries have to develop killing weapons against their will-in this helpless process, it also promotes the development of science and technology.

  3. What kind of plague will be in the future, and how will human beings fight at that time? Have you ever imagined this?

  A: Pathogens, especially viruses, have very simple structures and are easy to mutate, especially in modern society where people, livestock and wild animals have more and more frequent contacts. Therefore, the emergence of new pathogens including new viruses is inevitable. Among them, viruses and fungi that are more difficult to deal with (because they have no specific drugs except targeted vaccines and rely more on the patient’s own immunity) are easier to deal with in the long run. On the contrary, those germs that can be effectively killed with antibiotics will quickly evolve into drug-resistant strains, which is more difficult to deal with.

  4. What is the most worrying plague in the eyes of science fiction writers?

  A: This goes back to the juvenile meditation I mentioned at the beginning: Although there were vicious diseases such as smallpox and the Black Death in human history and the medicine at that time was very underdeveloped, why didn’t human beings become extinct? This is because human beings have evolved a powerful immune system, which is equal in strength in the struggle against diseases, and each has its own outcome. That is to say, it is unlikely that a pathogen can suddenly appear in nature, except for man-made pathogens, because it is beyond this balanced system and beyond the ability of human immune system.

  5. What was the background of the medical science fiction novel Cross?

  A: I’m interested in medical subjects, and I’ve written many science fiction novels on medical subjects. In fact, these works originated from a childhood fantasy of mine: as we all know, generally speaking, vicious pathogens are not contagious and easily contagious pathogens are relatively mild, but if a vicious and highly contagious pathogen suddenly evolves in nature, will it cause human extinction? It was this childhood meditation that triggered my concern about pathogens.

  Brief introduction of the writer

  Wang Jinkang, male, born in Nanyang, Henan Province in 1948, is a senior engineer, a member of the Chinese Writers Association, a member of the Chinese Popular Science Writers Association and a member of the Science and Literature Committee, and a member of the Henan Writers Association. Up to now, nearly 100 science fiction novels have been published, including more than 10 novels, accounting for more than 5 million words. He has won the Yinhe Award and the Global Chinese Science Fiction Xingyun Award for Lifetime Achievement issued by the 97 International Science Fiction Conference, and has won the Global Chinese Science Fiction Xingyun Award and Yinhe Award for many times.

  His works include Humanoid, Ant Born, Stay with Me, Escape from Mother Universe, Heavenly Father and Mother Earth, Selected Science Fictions of Wang Jinkang (four volumes) and so on. His works are gloomy and desolate, dignified and atmospheric, full of strong humanistic care, which not only integrates rich science fiction knowledge, but also contains philosophical views on the universe and life, and is deeply loved by readers. Its language is elegant and fluent, its structure is exquisite, its conception is ingenious, and it is good at setting suspense. The works are highly readable and are the perfect combination of serious literature and popular literature.

  Well, the following is gossip.

  Besides the above contents about science fiction, he is also party member of China Democratic League, a senior engineer and academic leader. Teacher Wang Jinkang graduated from high school in 1966. In 1968, he spent three years as an educated youth in Wulong Commune in Xinye, Henan Province (when I heard Xinye, I turned to Liu Guanzhang in the Three Kingdoms). In 1971, he worked as a woodcutter in an iron mine, and in 1974, he was transferred to a diesel engine factory (a typical character in Ordinary World, I really want to see the photos of Mr. Wang when he was young, and he should be a tall, handsome and gentle handsome guy). In 1978, Wang Jinkang was admitted to the Department of Power II of Xi ‘an Jiaotong University (in the winter of 1977, 5.7 million candidates from China entered the college entrance examination room that had been closed for more than ten years. In that year, the national colleges and universities admitted 273,000 freshmen; In 1978, 6.1 million people applied for the exam and 420,000 people were admitted. ), after graduating in 1982, he joined the Second Petroleum Machinery Group, and served as the deputy director and senior engineer of the research institute of the group. As an academic leader, he presided over national major projects and led scientific researchers to successfully develop desert workover rig chassis and large workover rig self-propelled chassis, and won ministerial-level scientific and technological progress award.

  Mr. Wang entered the science fiction circle by accident (who didn’t). In 1993, at the age of 45, he wrote his first novel "Adam’s Return" because his 10-year-old son wanted to hear stories, which was published in the fifth issue of Science Fiction World in 1993, and won the first prize of the national science fiction essay that year.

  Many of Wang Jinkang’s works are based on the latest scientific discoveries, especially biology. He divided the creatures in nature in the vast universe into several levels: microorganisms, plants and animals. Humans are the role of "God" to bees and ants; Higher wisdom is another kind of "God" for human beings. He believes that no matter microorganisms, animals and plants, even ants and bees that we seldom pay attention to, they have formed a stable population on this blue planet. In these populations, the individual’s behavior is insignificant, but the intelligence of the group is amazing. Nature keeps these populations alive and well, and the survival of the fittest is the basic mechanism to continue the evolution of genes and organisms. From this point of view, human diseases are actually testing and exercising the race. If excessive epidemic prevention measures are taken, in the long run, human genes may be degraded, which is not conducive to the continuation of the population. Existence is reasonable, and mutual restraint conforms to the dialectics of biological cruelty. Human beings should maintain the balance of nature and live in harmony with nature, instead of trying to transform nature with brute force.

  Ok, then this is the Cross.

  Introduction of works

  Cross was published in January 2009, produced by Science Fiction World Publishing House and published by Chongqing Publishing House. In May 2015, Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House republished this book under the name of "Level 4 Panic", which was well received.

  "God only cares about the group but not the individual. This is where God loves." “

  Terrorists belonging to the Cross stole smallpox virus that had been conquered by human beings and kept in P4 laboratory, and made biological weapons intended to exterminate human beings through gene cultivation.

  Ten years later, terrorists disguised as Indians spread viruses in the United States, and even hijacked 76 children. By means of negotiation, they actually infected those children with smallpox virus, treated the children as "poisonous people" and released the plague, and launched a bioterrorism attack against the United States. The attack caused more than 100,000 people to be infected, including more than 30,000 confirmed cases.

  More than ten years later, an advertising company personnel drove three airships to distribute paper flowers leaflets over Tokyo, and the super virus spread all over the city with paper flowers, infecting at least one million people. The whole of Tokyo is in a state of extreme panic.

  Mei Yin, a Chinese scientist, had almost gone astray and was caught in the trap of the Cross, but finally the good fighting in human nature prevailed over the cult brainwashing. She developed a method to put the inactivated vaccine directly into the air through aerosol, which saved the level 4 virus panic in Tokyo.

  The community of human destiny, in the face of the common enemy virus of mankind, seems to have a profound meaning. This is the future of all mankind.

  Recommended words:

  The combination of humanitarianism and scientific thought has profound social and practical significance, subverting the existing values and morality in imagination, emotion, horror and suspense, and is full of ultimate concern for the future of mankind, which makes people feel excited and excited.

  -famous science fiction writer Han Song

  This book is the pinnacle of philosophical science fiction. The rigorous and informative technical core and the tortuous and shocking story complement each other, showing the charm of science fiction. Close this book, you already have a pair of philosophers’ deep eyes, and rediscover the long-lost awe of nature. As a whole, mankind is the real hero in the book. When the net of punishment with the shadow of death is slowly descending, the arrogant child is still completely ignorant. The sword hidden in the cross is shining with cold light. If you don’t want to wake up too late, read this book.

  -the famous science fiction writer Liu Cixin.

  There are both concerns about social reality and thoughts about the future of science and technology. The plot is tortuous, and there is no lack of original ideas, which is another masterpiece after Wang Jinkang’s Ant Life.

  -Yao Haijun, editor-in-chief of Science Fiction World

 

 

  Finally, thank you, Teacher Wang Jinkang ~

Opportunities and challenges coexist in the construction of "Belt and Road" Experts: Shaanxi should seize development opportunities.

  Xi ‘an, China Broadcasting Network, May 13 (Reporter Zhang Jiaqi Feng Weiyu) In 2018, the Beijing Higher People’s Court made a final judgment on the patent infringement case of Xidian Jietong v. Sony, and ordered Sony to stop the infringement and compensate Xidian Jietong for a total of 9,103,400 yuan. This case is also called "the first case of standard essential patent in China" by the industry. In fact, such difficulties and challenges are only the epitome of Shaanxi’s "Belt and Road" construction. "Shaanxi is participating in ‘ Belt and Road ’ The construction started early, but it also faced many challenges. " Ma Lili, deputy dean of the School of Economics and Management of Northwest University, said that Shaanxi should make full use of resources, seize development opportunities and become an important fulcrum along the Belt and Road to boost the overall national strategy.

  Opportunities and challenges

  Founded in 2000, Xidian Jietong is a provider of network security protocol technology and solutions.

  On March 28, 2018, the Beijing Higher People’s Court made a final judgment on the patent infringement case of Xidian Jietong v. Sony Wireless LAN Security Standard (WAPI), dismissed the appeal, upheld the original judgment of the first instance, and ordered Sony to stop the infringement and compensate Xidian Jietong for its economic losses and reasonable expenditure on rights protection totaling 9,103,400 yuan. The case of Xidian Jietong v. Sony is also called "the first case of standard essential patent in China" by the industry. At present, the patent infringement case of Xidian Jietong v. Apple is still under trial in the Higher People’s Court of Shaanxi Province.

  In these two patent infringement cases, both Sony and Apple filed a request for invalidation of the patents involved with the Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Office. In 2016 and 2017, the Patent Reexamination Board made a conclusion to maintain the validity of the patents involved.

  Li Yi, patent director of Xidian Jietong Company, said that the benefits of a network security protocol technology will be about 10 to 15 years later, while the patent is only valid for 20 years. In this case, the efficiency of intellectual property protection is very important. A realistic challenge is: globally, the ICT field is the hardest hit area where large enterprises abuse their dominant position. They implement patent reverse hijacking, and the problem of customers bullying stores is more prominent.

  In this regard, Huang Zhenhai, deputy general manager of Xidian Jietong Company, said: "In the application and protection of intellectual property rights, we adhere to the position of treating enterprises of all sizes, Chinese and foreign enterprises and enterprises of all ownership equally. We believe in the power of intellectual property protection! "

  At present, Xidian Jietong Company has signed patent licensing contracts with 70 product brand manufacturers around the world, of which nearly 40% are well-known enterprises in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, and the products involved include mobile terminals, Internet of Things products and industrial equipment.

  Increase attempts to give play to comparative advantages

  On the road to the construction of the "Belt and Road", the challenges are also multi-faceted.

  In 2018, Xi ‘an International Port Area set the "small goal" of running 1,000 trains in Central Europe and Central Asia, and used the PPP model for reference to determine the operation idea of "fully connecting the market, one enterprise and one line", so that powerful logistics enterprises can participate in the operation of trains by contracting lines. Liu Dan, deputy general manager of Xi ‘an land port Multimodal Transport Company, said that at present, China Merchants Group, Continental Bridge Company, Land Port Multimodal Transport Company, etc. have carried out in-depth cooperation with Xi ‘an International Port Area Management Committee in the operation of trains, and made every effort to promote the encryption of trains and jointly build a brand-new logistics hub node.

  "Being able to form economic and trade cooperation requires great demand, supply and interaction, but the development scale and economic aggregate of countries along the Silk Road are small and the pulling force is limited." Ma Lili said that Chang ‘an needs to connect with more countries, including Rotterdam, Hamburg and Germany, when it is put into operation, which will also generate greater bilateral demand and supply of goods.

  It is reported that this year, Xi ‘an has opened two lines from Xi ‘an to Belarus, from Xi ‘an to Russia, and from Xi ‘an to Iran (Afghanistan), and eight lines have been operated in Central Asia and Central Europe.

  "In addition, agricultural products also have its unique comparative advantages." Ma Lili said that Aiju Group has achieved a level of synergy with enterprise development, regional development and national development in the construction along the Silk Road. "This is a great progress."

  "At present, Aiju Group has built a phase of 300,000 tons of oil processing in North Kazakhstan, which was put into production the year before last." Liu Dongmeng, deputy general manager of Xi ‘an Aiju Group, said that the Kazakhstan government attaches special importance to this project. In addition, we can also use the "Belt and Road" Chang ‘an express lane to transport Kazakhstan’s high-quality and natural raw materials and processed flour and oil back to China.

  "Love chrysanthemum group in ‘ Belt and Road ’ The reason why we can go out in construction is because Aiju Group has been creating better grain and oil, exploring better grain sources, and increasing foreign cooperation on this basis. "

  A hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers blossom. This year marks the fifth year of the Belt and Road Initiative and the 40th anniversary of China’s reform and opening up. The "Belt and Road" construction in Shaanxi Province is entering a new stage. Faced with various challenges, Shaanxi is striving to give full play to the new advantages of the "Belt and Road" core area and the China (Shaanxi) Pilot Free Trade Zone, actively integrate into the "Belt and Road" pattern, turn challenges into opportunities, and strive to create a new pattern of linkage between land and sea and two-way mutual aid and opening up between east and west.

Maoming CDC experts answer hot issues of AIDS prevention and control →

What disease is AIDS?

What behaviors are at risk of contracting AIDS?

Can high-risk behaviors be remedied?

How to prevent AIDS transmission …

Deng Xinyan, head of the AIDS Prevention and Control Department of Maoming CDC, took the opportunity of the series of publicity activities of World AIDS Day in 2023 to answer questions on the hot issues of AIDS prevention and control that the public is more concerned about.

Three ways of transmission should be known.

Don’t be afraid of daily contact.

Deng Xinyan introduced that AIDS is a systemic disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, which will lead to progressive immune dysfunction. At present, there are three ways of transmission of AIDS, namely blood transmission, sexual transmission and mother-to-child transmission.

The main route of transmission is sexual transmission. If you have unprotected sex with people who don’t know the HIV infection status, you may get infected, especially unprotected homosexual sex between men, and the risk of infection will be higher. Blood transmission is the most direct route of infection, and it is very dangerous to import blood contaminated by virus, use intravenous drugs contaminated by blood without strict disinfection and share syringes. In addition, pregnant women infected with HIV may also spread to the fetus if they do not accept standardized mother-to-child blocking.

Generally speaking, the high-risk behaviors of HIV infection in life include unsafe sex, sharing needles, importing blood or blood products without anti-HIV antibody detection, and occupational exposure history. In addition, daily contact, respiratory droplets and water will not cause the spread of HIV, such as sharing school supplies, eating together, sharing toilets, shaking hands, hugging, etc., AIDS patients or infected people cough or sneeze, and generally will not spread AIDS; Mosquito bites will not spread AIDS in summer. You don’t have to be overly "afraid of AIDS", and you should correctly understand AIDS with a scientific and rational attitude.

After high-risk behavior

Knowing "self-help" is very important.

Deng Xinyan suggested that in life, once a high-risk behavior that may be infected with AIDS occurs, you should immediately go to the local disease prevention and control institutions, medical institutions and testing points for testing and consultation together with those who have high-risk behaviors. Individuals can also buy self-testing reagents for testing. If the test is positive, they should go to medical institutions and CDC in time for further confirmatory testing. Testing is the only way to know whether you are infected with AIDS.

It should be noted that it generally takes 2 to 12 weeks for a human body to produce a sufficient number of antibodies after being infected with HIV before it can be detected by clinical test methods. The period from HIV infection to the detection of HIV antibodies in blood is called "window period". The "window period" is usually half a month to three months, and a few people can reach six months. If the HIV antibody is tested in the "window period", even if there is HIV in the blood and it can spread to others, the test result is still negative. Therefore, during the "window period", what we can do is to calm our minds and stop high-risk behaviors.

"Some people get scared after having high-risk sex. But please don’t be too flustered first. After the exposure of AIDS, it can be prevented and remedied. " Deng Xinyan said that at present, taking post-exposure drug prevention has become one of the important means of AIDS prevention. Post-exposure drug prevention refers to people who have not been infected with HIV. Under the guidance of a doctor, they should use blocking drugs as soon as possible within 1 to 2 hours (or earlier) after exposure, and take them for 28 days at the latest within 72 hours after exposure, which can effectively reduce the risk of HIV infection, and the drug use effect is the best within 2 hours. At present, Maoming Chronic Disease Prevention Center and Dianbai District People’s Hospital can provide post-exposure preventive services.

Do a good job of self-protection

Is the most effective means of prevention

At present, according to Maoming’s AIDS surveillance data, the overall AIDS epidemic in our city remains at a low epidemic level, and the mode of transmission is mainly sexual transmission, which increases the risk of general population involvement. Among the newly reported cases this year, sexual transmission accounted for 95.5%, of which heterosexual transmission accounted for 89.7% and homosexual transmission accounted for 5.8%; The majority of cases are in the senior age group, and the proportion of newly reported cases in the age group over 50 years is basically between 57% and 72% in recent five years. The case was found late and the death rate was high.

"The people who need to focus on prevention and control in our city are concentrated in the elderly and adolescents, mainly due to poor awareness of self-protection, resulting in a high proportion of infections. At the same time, most infected people were diagnosed after entering the AIDS period and missed the best treatment opportunity. " Deng Xinyan said that the difficulty of AIDS prevention and treatment lies in the difficulty of incurability and control. At present, no drugs have been developed to cure AIDS, and there is no effective vaccine to prevent AIDS. Under the current medical level, patients or infected people must take drugs for life. Therefore, it is particularly important to master the knowledge of AIDS prevention.

At present, our city actively promotes the publicity and education work of AIDS prevention and control "into the community, into the enterprise, into the hospital, into the campus and into the family". From January to November this year, Maoming CDC went into 17 towns (streets) in various districts (county-level cities) and went to many enterprises, universities and vocational schools to carry out AIDS publicity and education activities. Up to now, more than 80 AIDS "Five Enters" publicity activities have been carried out, covering more than 50,000 people.

In December, taking the 2023 "World AIDS Day" series of publicity activities as an opportunity, Maoming CDC successively carried out publicity activities to eliminate AIDS free clinics, "promoting buses to enter the campus and the community", intervention activities for men who have sex with men, "World AIDS Day" and related knowledge publicity. Through the development and promotion of activities, the public’s awareness of AIDS prevention and control has been significantly improved, and good results have been achieved, which has played a positive role in the in-depth development of AIDS prevention and control work in our city.

Liqun shares: the road to evergreen of a century-old brand

  Since 1933, Liqun brand has been deposited in Shandong Province for nearly 90 years.

  Compared with modern shopping centers such as () and Vientiane City, which represent the young trend, "Liqun" is more like an "old brand" specializing in department stores and home appliance supermarkets in the impression of local people. However, it is this old brand that stands firm in the shopping mall. As an evergreen tree in Shandong’s commercial field, it continues to grow and flourish.

  Reconstruct traditional commercial elements and launch "quasi-shopping center"

  Compared with the business format of shopping centers, "department stores and supermarkets add appliances" is the "three axes" of Liqun’s traditional offline business format, which has made a good record for improving the territory. Facing the change of modern consumption concept and the diversified impact of shopping centers, Liqun chose its own development road-"quasi-shopping centers".

  Once upon a time, "department store-shopping center" became a fixed upgrading model of the industry. Some people think that the biggest difference between shopping centers and department stores is the difference in thinking. The former is flow thinking and demand orientation, while the latter is sales thinking and performance orientation. "The shopping center is a market, and the department store is a business". The most essential difference between shopping centers and department stores is the separation of place management and retail management. The advantages of shopping centers lie in their large area, various formats and complete types of goods, but there are also disadvantages such as large investment, low rate of return, lack of brand resources and difficulty in realizing traffic.

  Is there only one way for traditional department stores to upgrade to shopping centers? () gives a negative answer. The company’s concept of "quasi-shopping center" focuses on the organic combination of the two advantages: Liqun’s superior business layout of traditional "department stores, supermarkets and electrical appliances", plus various business elements such as shopping center catering, cinemas and entertainment, so that emerging, young and distinctive brands can find the display position closest to consumers, and Liqun can also meet consumers’ consumption needs with more diversified goods and services, and improve its own business performance.

  The concept of "shopping+eating, drinking and having fun" is perfectly reflected in Jinding Square on the west coast of Liqun in Huangdao District, Qingdao: here, customers can buy inexpensive necessities such as people’s livelihood and home, high-quality and fidelity jewelry, gold ornaments and cosmetics of well-known brands, fashionable household appliances and clothing, and enjoy delicious meals and drinks, reading, watching movies, equestrian skating and so on after shopping. In the future, Liqun will continue to upgrade on this basis to create a unique shopping style belonging to Liqun.

  Stick to the essence of retail and open up digital operation

  Someone said, "The sadness of China Department Store is that when the market share is not big enough, it meets e-commerce. The business model has not yet begun to change, and it has met the shopping center. "

  The impact of e-commerce on physical retail seems to be an indisputable fact. According to the data of the top 100 chain enterprises in China, the sales of the top 100 chain enterprises accounted for 9.3% of the total retail sales of social consumer goods in 2012, which was lower than the level of 11% in 2011. This is the first time that the proportion has decreased since 2003, and it also proves that the traditional retail industry is constantly being squeezed by e-commerce.

  Since then, many physical retail enterprises have begun to practice hard and pursue transformation in various ways, and have spawned various new concepts and models, such as new entities, new consumption and new retail.

  As early as 2004, Liqun began to set foot in the emerging format of e-commerce, set up an e-commerce company, opened Liqun. com and started to build a PC. After the rise of mobile e-commerce, the company began to develop O2O services. In August 2017, Liqun’s online procurement platform was launched, serving the bulk procurement of enterprises, institutions, restaurants, convenience stores and other front-end channels, which indicates that Liqun’s O2O and B2B business models have achieved certain results. In 2018, Liqun started the intelligent and digital reconstruction of the supply chain, used new technical means to improve operational efficiency and reduce operating costs, and built a smart supply chain information management platform, which was successfully launched in 2021, providing an effective guarantee for Liqun to realize the standardization, standardization and simplification of business operations. Today, the "Liqun Online Merchant" APP has moved more than 1 million items operated by nearly 100 shopping malls and supermarkets online. (1) It is deeply integrated, sharing inventory at the same price, and customers can stay at home and visit Liqun. With its smart logistics system, it can deliver goods to consumers efficiently, safely and quickly.

  Liqun shares believe that cultivating consumers’ habits is the core work of the retail industry. Whether it is live broadcast with goods or new formats such as community group buying, it is essentially a change in habits brought about by technology to better cater to and even create the needs of consumers. The company will adhere to this core theory, work hard and quietly in its own main business field, and provide the most comfortable service to consumers with the concept of "high quality and low price, complete categories", "saving every penny for you" and the spirit of "doing with heart and never being satisfied".

  Deeply ploughing retail is the foundation, and perfecting supply chain is the guidance.

  Liqun shares describe its business model as a supply chain integrated enterprise that adheres to the principle of "whole industry chain+self-management". The company is committed to building a four-in-one retail and platform operator of "source batch direct mining+brand agent operation+warehousing and logistics distribution+self-operated terminal retail (e-commerce)".

  There is a saying that "one minute on the stage, ten years off the stage". The retail industry has a wide range of categories, and it is an industry that needs to be "finely crafted". There is no shortcut, and only the continuous refinement and innovation of the supply chain system is the "king". Liqun adopts the integrated operation mode of "whole industry chain+self-operation", focusing on source procurement and brand wholesale operation companies, and fully controls the whole supply chain link of "purchase, sale, adjustment and storage", thus making Liqun an industry leader in commodity selection, circulation and inventory control.

  Today’s Liqun, in the field of brand wholesale operation, the source procurement channels of goods are all over the country. Fuxingxiang Logistics Group, a subsidiary of Fuxingxiang Logistics Group, has more than 30 brand agents and wholesale operation companies, all of which are mainly operated by buyout and self-operation, and are equipped with professional buyers and operation and maintenance teams, covering all categories of commodities such as grain and oil, drinks, supermarkets, household appliances, clothing, shoes and hats, baby products, sports, cosmetics and jewelry, forming a diversified and professional brand agent echelon. Operating more than 4,000 brands, with channels and channel agency rights of more than 500 well-known brands; We have established a stable cooperative relationship with nearly 3,000 upstream suppliers, and the proportion of supermarkets and home appliances is 95%.

  In terms of terminal distribution capacity, Liqun’s brand export operation has continued to expand, and its market share has continued to increase. The sales share of some brand operating companies’ non-Liqun systems has exceeded Liqun’s internal distribution, and external customers involve other commercial enterprises, large farmers’ markets, convenience stores, enterprises and institutions, schools and military units, showing strong anti-risk ability.

  At the same time of channel operation, Liqun has continuously consolidated the construction of supply chain hardware facilities in recent years, and successively invested 5 billion to build more than 500,000 square meters of Fuxingxiang Logistics two large-scale smart warehousing and logistics centers in Huai ‘an, Jiangsu and Licha, Jiaozhou, enabling Liqun to expand rapidly around 300 kilometers with the support of the two major logistics bases in the north and south. Among them, JIAOZHOU Smart Logistics and Supply Chain Base is the first commercial supply chain base in China to build an automatic unmanned operation system of "automatic warehouse building+circular shuttle car +3D vision reading, disassembling and stacking robot", with a dynamic inventory of about 3 billion yuan. Liqun’s central kitchen can provide more than a thousand kinds of processed products, such as Chinese and Western pastry, hot halogen products, aquatic products, box lunch, prefabricated vegetables, etc., with a daily designed output of more than 80 tons and an annual designed output value of 500 million yuan; Bean products factory is the largest and most modernized new bean products processing factory in Shandong province with single format. It designs and puts into production 40 tons of dried beans and produces more than 60 kinds of bean products in a single day, and the bean sprouts factory designs and produces 30 tons of bean sprouts in a single day. Healthy baking brand "Maiguqianqian", bean product brand "Fuxing Tofu" designated by Shanghe Summit in 2018, and natural rice brand "Gurenzhuang" with "farm food and native flavor".

  On the one hand, the supply side constantly innovates the supply of goods to reduce costs and increase efficiency. On the other hand, the continuous innovation on the sales side can improve the quality of service and marketing and enhance the customer experience. From Liqun, an old brand, we can’t help thinking: Perhaps, throwing away the routine, discarding the false and retaining the true, returning to the essence of the retail industry, and impressing consumers with "more, faster, better and more economical" is the way for commercial enterprises to last forever.

It is rare for Xinjiang to have low temperature and snowfall, and the field has broken through the extreme low temperature for 30 years.

Special topic: All parts of the country are United in fighting snow disasters.






Water pipes are blocked by freezing in Tianshan, water, sand and new urban areas.







Sanitation workers sweep the streets in the cold wind


    Affected by the strong cold air from western Siberia heading south and the trough in Central Asia, from 17th to 27th, there was a large-scale cooling and snowfall in Xinjiang, which was not only unbearable in most parts of northern Xinjiang, but also a rare continuous snowfall in southern Xinjiang, and the temperature continued to drop. Changji suffered the coldest 49 in 37 years, while Hotan broke through the extreme low temperature in 30 years.


    Yesterday (January 27th), Dou Xinying, a senior engineer of Urumqi Meteorological Observatory, said that the lowest temperature in Urumqi was below -20℃ for five consecutive days from 19th to 23rd during the "April 9th" period. Although it did not break through the continuous low temperature of -23℃ to -24℃ from January 19th to 23rd, 1962, it was also a rare continuous low temperature weather in recent 40 years. 


    Changji Prefecture suffered the coldest April 9th in 37 years.

Inventory of double 11 Consumer Electronic Battle Report: National subsidies are favorable, and services become the new focus of the platform.

In double 11 in 2024, some platforms started the Double Eleven promotion as early as October 14th, a whole month ahead of schedule, which can be said to be "very forward-looking".

With the end of the first phase, some consumer electronics have released battle reports. Although the battle report that "every family comes first" is always teased, double 11 is indeed a weather vane of the consumer industry. As Lei Technology, which focuses on AI hard technology, what trends have you seen in the consumer electronics industry from these battle reports?

Xiaomi is the first, and the consumption behaviors of different platforms are quite different.

In the field of smart phones that everyone is most concerned about, only Xiaomi announced the sales results of the "first stage" of the Double Eleven. According to the data released by Xiaomi, as of 23:59:59 on November 1, 2024, Xiaomi’s omni-channel cumulative payment amount has exceeded 19.7 billion yuan. Among the three core platforms of Tmall, JD.COM and Pinduoduo,Xiaomi also won the cumulative sales volume of domestic mobile phone brands, the double crown in sales volume (Tmall, Pinduoduo) and the first sales volume of mobile phone brands (JD.COM).

Comparing the difference of single product sales in the three core platforms, it is not difficult to find the "preference" of users on different platforms for mobile phones. For example, the Xiaomi 15 mobile phone, which was also just released, won the first place in the cumulative sales of domestic mobile phones on the Tmall platform.Considering that Apple is the only overseas mobile phone brand that can pose a threat to Xiaomi in China market, Xiaomi 15′ s performance can be said to be excellent.

The situation of JD.COM platform is similar to that of Tmall.However, it is not Xiaomi 15(4000-5999 yuan grade) that has just been released, but the Redmi K70 Extreme Edition (2000-2999 yuan gear) released in July that won the first place in the sales of domestic mobile phones.Of course, Xiaomi 15 also achieved the first cumulative sales in its own price range. As for Pinduoduo, only Xiaomi 14 and Redmi K70 Extreme Edition got the first cumulative sales volume and sales volume in their own price range, and there was nothing wrong with Xiaomi 15.

Comparing the three platforms, it is not difficult for us to sum up such a rule:Consumers in Pinduoduo platform are more sensitive to the final preferential strength and the available price, while the buying habits in JD.COM are more "polarized".

AI PC has become the core driving force for PC sales growth.

If Xiaomi "dominates" the mobile phone sales of the three core platforms, Lenovo’s sales in the PC category can also be described as "dominating". Lenovo won 23 titles in the JD.COM 11.11 computer racing rankings.It covers a number of lists, such as the sales of self-operated brands and the sales of Beijing-selected stores, especially in the category of thin and light books and games.

Image source: Lenovo

It is worth noting that there is no classification of AI PC in the sales classification of Tmall or JD.COM. Some people may think that this is because AI PC is not a climate. But in my opinion, this just proves that the concept of AI PC has penetrated into various categories.

Abstracting AI from actual hardware products to virtual software or services, this change makes the function of AI PC no longer constrained by high-performance game books.It has become an ecological function that spans thin and light notebooks, business notebooks, game books, tablet computers, all-in-one machines, and even servers and workstations.

Smart cleaning brands rely on product innovation to "fire fully"

In the field of intelligent cleaning that has risen in recent years, Xunmi Technology has also performed brilliantly in the opening stage of the Double Eleven: according to Xunmi’s data, in the "opening stage" alone, the total sales volume of Xunmi Technology’s core channels of all categories reached 2.1 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of over 100%, and it won the first place in many platforms such as JD.COM, Tmall, Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker.

As a leading brand in the cleaning electrical appliance industry, the sales performance of Xunyi directly reflects the market demand for intelligent cleaning products, and also shows that technological progress is the best driving force to promote product sales.As far as the development of the industry is concerned, the market of sweeping robots is still in the stage of subversive innovation. Compared with cost and channels, technological leadership plays a decisive role in the competitiveness of enterprises.

Image source: Chasing Technology

Long-term investment in innovative R&D is the most important cornerstone for establishing a "moat" for enterprises. There are many remarkable places in the domestic home service robot industry. At the beginning of its development, it quickly became famous with perfect technology. However, if it wants to build a solid moat permanently, its investment in technological innovation cannot be relaxed.

At present, Xunmi, Cobos and Roborock all have the potential to bring new development direction to the sweeping robot market, which can also be seen from their products launched in the first half of this year.Although it is not a big upgrade at first glance, it is generally developing in a more and more perfect direction. Moreover, there are many innovative functions. If it can be further improved and promoted to the market in the future, Xiaolei believes that more and more consumers will be interested in sweeping robots.

Parents pay the bill and let the intelligent education hardware sell out.

Like smart cleaning, intelligent educational hardware is also a hot item in recent years. As the education counseling industry has shifted from offline to online, intelligent education hardware has also become popular. According to data from JD.COM,Only in the "first stage" of the Double Eleven, the transaction volume of learning machine category increased by over 100% year-on-year, and the transaction volume of electronic education category and electronic paper book category increased by over 50% year-on-year.

In the category of learning hardware, there is definitely a dictionary pen that can’t be bypassed. With excellent product capabilities, Youdao Dictionary Pen has won double first place in JD.COM, Tmall platform industry and single product list.

On the whole, the hot sale of intelligent educational hardware reflects the urgent demand of parents and students for high-quality educational resources, and the progress of technology has also made AI more and more widely used in the field of education.From the perspective of intelligent education, personalized and intelligent learning methods are gradually replacing the traditional education model.It can be predicted that with the support of education policy and the continuous growth of consumer demand,The intelligent education hardware market will maintain rapid development in the future, bringing more innovations and changes to the education industry.

State subsidies are a major feature of this year’s Double Eleven.

Judging from the sales trend of this year’s Double Eleven, "state subsidy" is undoubtedly an important keyword throughout the whole shopping festival.Whether it is AI PC, smart cleaning or intelligent educational equipment, the preferential strength of 20% state subsidies is quite attractive. For the platform, the intervention of state subsidies has made consumers who had a wait-and-see attitude join the shopping army.

For consumers, the introduction of the state subsidy policy has also effectively stimulated the potential consumer demand:The combination of subsidies and preferential activities of e-commerce platforms has formed a superposition effect, further amplifying the attraction of promotion.Take the M4 Mac mini just launched by Apple as an example. Under the dual effects of subsidies and preferential treatment, the Mac mini with an original price of 4,499 yuan has quickly changed from a "unproductive vase" to the "best mini computer for home use", and even sold out of stock for many times in JD.COM.

In contrast, without the promotion of state subsidies, consumers’ willingness to buy will never be so strong. As in 2023, under the joint influence of economic environment and consumer confidence, everyone’s enthusiasm for large-scale promotion activities has weakened.Consumers are more rational and pay attention to actual needs.If we only rely on the promotion efforts of the merchants themselves, it is estimated that it is difficult to open the gap between this year’s Double Eleven and last year’s achievements.

In addition to low prices, consumers pay more and more attention to service.

Service has also become the focus of this year’s double eleven platform competition.Due to the limited space for price concessions, e-commerce brands have also begun to develop competitiveness beyond price.Taking JD.COM as an example, with the excellent warehousing and logistics system in JD.COM, many mobile phone brands have reached cooperation with JD.COM, striving to deliver products to consumers as quickly as possible.

For example, vivo and Glory’s "one step ahead" plan will deliver the mobile phone immediately after its release, and deliver the new machine to the user as soon as the next day; With the support of "second delivery" in JD.COM, Xiaomi 15 mobile phone, which has won the first sales volume in multi-platforms, can be delivered to consumers in the store under Xiaomi Rice Noodle within one hour at the earliest.

In addition to the aging upgrade of distribution, pre-sales and after-sales value-added services such as trade-in and extended warranty services have also become a new battlefield for e-commerce platforms.This trend from price competition to service competition also reflects the maturity of the e-commerce industry and the upgrading of consumer demand.For e-commerce platforms and brands, only by constantly innovating in services can they stand out in the fierce market competition. In the future, the e-commerce platform needs to continue to make efforts to improve the user experience in order to win more market share.

This year’s Double Eleven Shopping Festival is not only an increase in consumption figures, but also a profound change in market structure and consumption concept.Price is no longer the only battlefield, and service, quality and innovation are becoming the new focus of competition.In this consumption transformation, as consumers, we are also the promoters of this e-commerce transformation. And the choices we made during the Double Eleven will also guide the market to develop in the right direction.

India Air Show: The United States and Russia compete for orders and develop their own "loyal wingman" to show their ambitions.

The Indian military research institute exhibited a self-developed full-scale model of the "loyal wingman" stealth drone at this air show, which reflected the ambition of the Indian aviation industry.

On February 3rd, Bangalore Aerospace Exhibition (India Air Show) was held at Yelahanka Air Force Base. Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh attended the opening ceremony.

Although the epidemic in India is still raging, the United States and Russia have sent a large lineup of exhibitors for the potential large orders of the Indian Air Force, and they have all produced a variety of advanced fighters. This year’s air show attracted more than 600 exhibitors, including 78 foreign exhibitors. It is worth mentioning that the US bomber B-1B flew from South Dakota for 26 hours and arrived at the air show in Bangalore, India. Accompanied by an LCA fighter of the Indian Air Force, it passed the field at low altitude.

Warrior UAV adopts stealth design, and its shape is very similar to that of American Valkyria and Loyal Wingman.

For huge orders, the United States and Russia showed advanced fighters regardless of the epidemic.

According to the "India Times" reported on February 3, at the opening ceremony of the air show that day, The representative of the United States said at the press conference that Washington suggested that the Indian Air Force purchase American fighters, and the optional models include F-18, F-15 and F-16 (the United States later gave the specific number F-21).

The representative of the United States said that it is possible that the United States will produce American fighters in India as part of the "Made in India" plan. The representative of the United States also said that India is an important defense partner of Washington and the two sides will continue to cooperate to strengthen security in the Asia-Pacific region. The representative also said that Washington knew about India’s purchase of Russian-made S-400 air defense missile system and had asked India to abandon the deal, but the United States would consider this issue separately.

In June 2017, during the Paris Air Show in France, Lockheed Martin, an American military enterprise, announced that it had signed an agreement with India’s Tata Group to produce the F-16 Block70 in India at the Paris Air Show. India and the United States signed an agreement with a total value of over 10 billion US dollars, which became a heavy news during the air show and triggered a heated discussion. However, due to technology transfer, funds and other issues, the plan for the United States and India to jointly produce the improved F-16 has not yet landed. India plans to buy 114 multi-role fighters, with a budget allocation of about $17 billion. Several rounds of bidding have been conducted, but there has been no result. American F-16, Russian MIG -35, French Gust and Swedish Gryphon all participated in the bidding.

In recent years, the defense relationship between the United States and India has been deepening. Not only have high-level joint military exercises been conducted frequently, but the United States has also sold more and more advanced weapons to India. In the past 12 years, the United States has provided India with more than $18 billion in weapons and equipment, mainly including P-8 anti-submarine patrol aircraft, C-17 large transport aircraft, MH-60 anti-submarine helicopter, AH-64 armed helicopter and large-caliber artillery. At present, the United States has become the second largest exporter of weapons to India after Russia. According to the data at the end of 2018, Russia accounts for about 65% of India’s arms imports, the United States accounts for about 15%, and Israel accounts for about 11%.

F-16 is the third-generation fighter with the largest number of production in the world, and it is still in production today. With the expansion of the stealth fighter in the United States, the demand for the third-generation fighter is gradually decreasing. Transferring the F-16 production line to India can further extract the surplus value of the fighter and earn more money, and further deepen the defense cooperation between the two countries.

In addition to the F-16, the United States also actively promoted the F/A-18 carrier-based fighter to India. In August last year, the US F/A-18 carrier-based fighter successfully carried out the ground takeoff test, which proved to India that the aircraft can take off in the Indian Navy. At present, India has an aircraft carrier "Vikla Matia", and the aircraft carrier "Viklandt" is scheduled to enter the train next year. Both aircraft carriers take off in a skid mode, and the carrier aircraft is a Russian MIG -29. India has purchased 45 MIG-29s in total, but the performance of the aircraft is not good after being equipped in India, and the intact rate is less than 50%. So far, six MIG-29s have crashed. In this regard, the Indian Navy can be said to be "suffering", and the performance of domestic LCA carrier aircraft cannot meet the demand, and MIG-29s can only make do with it. Now, with the deepening of the defense relationship between the United States and India, the choice of carrier aircraft has increased by one.

As India’s largest supplier of weapons, Russia also sent a core lineup to participate in this air show. Among them, the full-scale model of Su -57E fighter made its debut at the Indian Air Show.

Su -57 is the latest fifth-generation multi-role fighter developed by Russia. The fighter adopts stealth design and composite materials, and its weapons will include hypersonic missiles. The Su -57 prototype made its first flight in 2010, and the first mass production machine was delivered to the army in December 2020. Russia decided to purchase 76 Su-57s and equip three aviation regiments before 2027. Su -57E is the export model of Su -57, which made its debut at the Moscow Air Show in 2019. Its target customers include several Russian traditional fighter sales customers such as India, Vietnam, Indonesia and Algeria.

Victor Kladov, director of international cooperation and regional policy of Russian National Technology Group, said on February 1st that many foreign customers showed great interest in Russian foreign trade weapon Su -57E fifth-generation fighter. "This fighter has aroused great interest in many countries because of its unique combat performance and flight characteristics," Kladov said.

India has reached an agreement with Russia to jointly manufacture FGFA fighters based on Su -57 fighters. In 2007, India and Russia agreed to jointly manufacture FGFA fighters, and signed a cooperation agreement in 2010. In 2018, a senior Indian Defense Ministry official revealed that India will withdraw from the FGFA cooperation project that started 11 years ago. It is said that the FGFA project ended because the two sides have differences in research and development costs and technical capabilities.

FGFA is actually an export version of Su -57, but some changes have been made according to the needs of India. At present, the fifth-generation aircraft that India is expected to acquire are only Russian products, the American F-22 is not for sale, and the F-35 has not been exported to India. Moreover, there are many orders for the F-35 from project partners and American allies. Even if the export is agreed, it is unlikely that India will equip the F-35 in the next few years.

Despite the twists and turns, the Su -57 was officially delivered to the troops last year, which is of great significance to this project. With the increase of stealth fighters in India’s neighboring countries, India is likely to buy Su -57 fighters again.

In addition, the close defense cooperation between India and Russia is also an important reason why India chose Su -57. More than 70% of the weapons of the Indian armed forces are Soviet-Russian products, and Russian equipment accounts for 80% of Indian combat aircraft, including Su -30MKI, MIG -29 multi-function fighter and Mi -17 military transport helicopter. Since India put forward the "Made in India" plan in 2014, Russia and India have implemented more than 200 joint projects under this framework.

Following the military frontier technology, the Indian version of "loyal wingman" appeared.

In recent years, the UAV named "loyal wingman" has become a popular equipment in the field of UAV development. The concept of "loyal wingman" was first put forward by the United States in 2015. Subsequently, Russia, Australia, Britain and other countries also launched their own versions of "loyal wingman" drones.

Literally, the "loyal wingman" UAV mainly plays the role of wingman, has autonomous combat capability, can effectively integrate with manned fighters, complete coordinated operations, and improve operational efficiency. The specific operational roles of the "loyal wingman" drone are: acting as a weapon launching platform and launching attacks on targets designated by manned pilots; Strike the target set perceived by the drone; Attract anti-aircraft fire for manned aircraft and destroy threatening targets; Implement anti-interference outside the area; As an information fusion node of ISR.

Valkyria UAV developed by the US Air Force.

There are three main types of "loyal wingman" drones: one is modified from manned fighters; The other is a newly developed UAV. Some high-end UAVs generally adopt stealth design, and some low-end UAVs adopt non-stealth design. The "loyal wingman" drone sacrifices itself when necessary to ensure the safety of manned aircraft, so it is also fully considered in terms of cost and belongs to a product that can be quickly consumed. The "loyal wingman" who cooperates with the fifth-generation aircraft generally adopts stealth design, such as the American XQ-58A and the Russian "Grom".

The XQ-58A "Valkyria" UAV prototype completed its first flight in March 2019. It was jointly developed by the US Air Force Research Laboratory and Karatos UAV Systems Company, with a length of 9.14 meters and an internal bomb bay capable of carrying 272 kilograms of payload. It was mainly designed to cooperate with F-22, F-35 and other manned stealth fighters. The "Grom" UAV designed by Kronstadt Company of Russia was announced for the first time at the 6th International Military and Technical Forum held in August 2020. Airborne weapons, including laser-guided bombs, TV-guided bombs and air-to-ground missiles, were also displayed with the UAV. From the appearance, the stealth UAV is similar to the American XQ-58A UAV, both of which adopt a diamond nose and a backpack inlet.

The "Grom" UAV can carry a variety of precision guided munitions.

At this air show, the Indian military industrial organization also demonstrated the Indian version of the "Loyalty Wingman" drone. Hindustan Aviation Co., Ltd. (HAL) first demonstrated the full-scale Warrior UAV model. The aircraft was developed within the framework of AMCA battle plan, which has been implemented for about five years. In addition, India’s Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and Aviation Development Agency (ADA) launched the dual-engine carrier aircraft (TEDBF) program.

From the appearance, the UAV is very similar to Boeing’s "loyal wingman". It adopts stealth design, the inlet is located above the fuselage, the cross section of the fuselage is irregular and polygonal, and the tail nozzle is stealth-treated, which can greatly weaken the radar reflection signal and infrared characteristics. The power system consists of two small turbojet or turbofan engines, which can ensure the UAV to fly at high subsonic speed.

In the vision of the Indian military industry organization, Warrior UAV can cooperate with the domestic AMCA fifth-generation fighter to keep up with the transformation of the combat style of the world-class air force. However, it is one thing to make a model, and it is one thing to really develop a reliable real machine. In the past, Indian military institutions often showed various advanced fighter models at air shows, but few of them were really developed successfully. AMCA’s fifth-generation fighter model has appeared for nearly 10 years, but the project has not been officially launched so far.

How many stories and emotions does Chinese have to eat this meal every year?

  【Editor’s note]

  How much do you know about the Spring Festival?

  Standing at the beginning of 2019, which is changing at a second speed, we ask an "old-fashioned" question. As many people know, there are various manners and customs in the Spring Festival, such as endless dinners and parties that can’t be pushed off, and the resulting nostalgia and social embarrassment … …

  But you know what? The Spring Festival is not only a festival, but also contains social changes, economic development, and every tiny change you bring. On February 4, 2019, Zhongxin.com launched a series of planning "Do you know the Spring Festival", trying to outline the great changes in China’s social landscape through the little changes you and I have made in the Spring Festival.

  For Chinese, the Spring Festival is the most grand festival of the year. After a busy year, people stopped to have a rest. Mary, Vivian and David from Beishangguang went home one after another and became Cui Hua, Dani and Ergouzi. As Lu Xun said, even in the sky, there is a weather that will come to the New Year.

  Chinese pays special attention to eating. The most ceremonial thing in the Spring Festival is the New Year’s Eve. The whole family get together neatly, watch the Spring Festival Gala while eating, and then give out red envelopes and say something auspicious to win a good title for the coming year. This meal not only has delicious food, but also carries many stories and emotions, as well as decades of changes.

  Everything can be bought at the door.

  Although old Shanghai is a "ten-mile foreign market", the customs of the New Year have always been very traditional and particular. It is said that Shanghainese will eat some delicious foods, such as peanuts (longevity fruit), egg dumplings (gold ingot), baked bran (homophonic) and wonton (gold ingot).

  As the saying goes: "It’s spring in the first month of the New Year, and farmers are happiest when they are ripe. After eating the rice cake, they will drink sugar tea and then eat shepherd’s purse dumplings and wonton."

  At the beginning of the New Year’s Eve, cold dishes, such as Italian food and boiled chicken, are served first, then hot dishes, fish and shrimp, and, indispensable, soup. Chen Rongfu, 68, said that no matter what you cook, you must first prepare old duck soup and old hen soup, which are loved by adults and children.

  Every year, Chen Rongfu and his wife prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner. Even if they eat it, they have to prepare 20 dishes.

  They don’t use online shopping, and they are not used to fresh supermarkets that are fashionable among young people. Instead, they prefer to go to various vegetable markets to find the most affordable ingredients. A long time ago, they began to prepare materials for the New Year’s Eve dinner. They bought some meat today and some dry goods tomorrow. In recent years, the refrigerators have become bigger and bigger.

  I didn’t dare to think about this before. Chen Rongfu said that before the Spring Festival, every household hung pickles, and the vegetable seller would help pickle them and hang them at home to dry, so that they wouldn’t go bad easily.

  From 1950s to 1980s, materials were scarce, and many things were supplied by ticket. Chen Rongfu recalled that every new year, every household will have a card, and there are many people in the family, and the number will be a little more.

  Anyone who has some fish and meat at home is usually left for guests to eat. "Someone came to be a guest, and I took all these things out of my family. Anyway, it doesn’t matter if the door is closed." Chen Rongfu said.

  I don’t need it at all now. I string relatives during the New Year, and the dishes of every household are similar.

  When he was young, Chen Rongfu was a sailor and drifted around all year round. At that time, the traffic was underdeveloped, the price gap between places was relatively large, and the richness of goods was also different.

  At that time, the most common thing he did was to carry special products back from all over the country, and every time it was a big bag. But now, Chen Rongfu has long lost this habit, and everything can be bought at the door, which is not worth it.

  The only thing that does not change on New Year’s Eve is bean buns.

  Shexian County, Handan City, Hebei Province is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, in a mountainous area, and is rich in fruit. Zanthoxylum bungeanum, walnut and persimmon are called "Three Treasures in Shexian County". Every new year, of course, they are indispensable in the New Year’s Eve dinner.

  In the northeast, there is a custom of eating sticky bean buns during the Spring Festival. Using yellow wheat to make the skin and wrapping it with bean stuffing made of various beans can not only resist hunger, but also have a good meaning. In Shexian County, Hebei Province, you should also eat bean bags during the New Year. But unlike the Northeast, they used to use corn flour as the skin, but now they use white flour as the skin. There are both red beans and Shexian specialties in the stuffing — — Persimmon.

  Yang Linzhen, 61, has many years of experience in making bean curd. She said that the New Year’s Eve dinner in the village is very simple. Cook some jiaozi, stir-fry some dishes, and then steamed bread with bean curd. Before the Chinese New Year, every household should steam a lot of steamed buns and bean bags and eat them until the Lantern Festival.

  The essence of bean curd lies in the stuffing. After persimmon is peeled, it can be made into persimmon cake, and the persimmon peel is cooked with red beans to make the stuffing of bean curd. Old people like to eat this kind of bean bag, which is soft, sweet and not greasy, and has the smell of persimmon.

  There are many people in Yang Linzhen’s family. Every New Year, she will steam steamed buns and bean bags in the cauldron of the local stove, and she can cook fifty or sixty at a time.

  In the past, many people planted persimmon trees at home, but in recent years, persimmon trees have become less and less. Yang Linzhen said that farming at home made less money, young people went out to work, persimmon trees were left unattended and slowly died. The persimmon that Yang Linzhen ate at home was still grafted from the black jujube tree.

  For decades, the New Year’s Eve dinner of Yang Linzhen’s family has changed a lot, and the only constant is this bean bag.

  More convenient and healthy New Year’s Eve dinner

  Another Spring Festival, Song Yun of Hebei teased himself that he was going home to lose weight. Before the Chinese New Year, their family will also prepare a lot of steamed bread, bean buns, steamed dumplings with instant noodles, and cut cakes, but more of them are meat. Chopped cubes of meat are cooked, with a layer of salt on the surface.

  It is also popular to send meat, donkey meat, beef and mutton, pork and so on. Zhang Yun said that during the Chinese New Year, almost all people eat meat and few vegetables.

  Therefore, every New Year, Song Yun doesn’t eat much. He will buy a box of oranges at home and finish them in a few days.

  Zhang Yun’s father died young, and his two sisters got married one after another, leaving only him and his mother for the New Year. If these years have changed, it is that there are fewer and fewer people. At the New Year’s Eve, their home was exceptionally clean.

  The function of the New Year’s Eve dinner is fading away, and more people are thinking about how to eat conveniently and healthily.

  "It has been the same for more than 20 years, nothing has changed, just being a vegetarian." Meng Zhang, from Hubei, said that on New Year’s Eve in recent years, his family always prepared more vegetarian dishes. Qiu Chen of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province also said that their New Year’s Eve dinner is getting simpler and simpler. Every day, everyone is tired of eating big fish and big meat.

  Cooking and cooking in the New Year is also a physical activity for parents. In order not to make New Year’s Eve a burden, many people are trying to find a way. In the 1990s, it became popular for people in the city to go to restaurants for New Year’s Eve dinner. In recent years, more and more families have gone out for New Year’s Eve dinner. Half a month in advance, many restaurants have been booked out for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and it is hard to find a table for popular restaurants.

  In order to save trouble, some people buy New Year’s Eve dinner online. Online shopping for semi-finished New Year’s Eve dinner has also become a new choice for many young people after 80 s and 90 s.

  "On this day of the Spring Festival, it is a festival, and they have to be prepared for the excitement. It’s just that when I’m old, it’s hard work to cook and cook. " A netizen bought a set of Shanghai-style New Year’s Eve dinner for his parents. He said that semi-finished dishes are convenient and can be cooked quickly, and it can save effort during the New Year.

  Good boys don’t make money on New Year’s Eve.

  Customs vary from place to place in Fujian Province, and New Year’s Eve is also very particular. Rice cakes, seafood, tofu and spinach are common ones. Xie Jia, a 23-year-old, said that every year during the Chinese New Year, my mother would prepare many dishes, such as braised pork, sausage, bacon, preserved duck, jiaozi and soup, which are available every year, and others would be added depending on the situation.

  Although living conditions are better now, Xie Jia especially misses the Spring Festival when she was a child. In her memory, the New Year’s Eve dinner used to be more traditional, but now it is more casual. Although the previous New Year’s Eve dinner was not as rich as it is now, it was more grand and formal, and the annual flavor was more sufficient.

  Chen Rongfu always misses the Spring Festival when he was a child. He said that when I was a child, the Spring Festival was like a reward. I could wear new clothes, eat delicious food, set off firecrackers and not go to school, so I looked forward to the Spring Festival every day.

  Nowadays, children have grown up and gone out to work, and Shanghai can’t set off firecrackers casually. The New Year seems deserted. But the good news is that the material conditions are really much better.

  When he was young, he seldom went home for the New Year. Really homesick, just sing a song to solve it. Now with the high-speed rail, the old couple can go to Beijing on business with their son. With video calling, I can meet my son every day.

  There is an old saying in Fuzhou, Fujian — — "Good kids don’t make money" means that good kids don’t make money on New Year’s Eve. Before New Year’s Eve, Fuzhou people who are working in business will definitely go back to reunite with their families and have a New Year’s Eve dinner together. On New Year’s Eve, there will be no visits, so the whole family should get together, and we can’t have dinner if people are not together.

  For decades, perhaps the taste of the year is not as full as before, and the New Year’s Eve dinner is also casual, but what remains unchanged is the sincerity of returning home and reuniting.

  We no longer buy new year’s goods in big bags and small bags, because of the popularity of e-commerce, we can also buy local specialties at our doorstep; I no longer look forward to the big fish and big meat dinner once a year, because people pay more attention to how to eat healthier … …

  It’s been a hard year. Let’s have a good meal with our family. This is the real meaning of the New Year’s Eve. (At the request of the interviewee, some characters in the text are pseudonyms) (End)
