Some time ago, a cucumber shoot made the restaurant owners in Zhuzhou, Hunan scared.

Behind the scenes are a father and son. The two often go to different restaurants to order cucumbers, and there is no problem when they eat them. But a few days after eating, these restaurants will receive rectification notices and be asked for high compensation.

Seeing the news of compensation, restaurant owners suddenly realized, and at the same time complained: this is a professional counterfeiter.

Go back to the beginning of the event. It turned out that the father and son reported the restaurant selling cucumber to the market supervision department on the grounds of "no cold food license" and demanded compensation of ten times the consumption amount.

Such a high amount has made many bosses complain: "I don’t necessarily earn this money by selling cucumbers for one year!"

There is also a boss surnamed Liu who feels more wronged.

There was no cucumber on his menu, but when the father and son went to the store for consumption, they repeatedly asked to make one, and they also kindly instructed him to "smash the cucumber, just sprinkle some pepper and add some vinegar."

Boss Liu did it without much thought. As expected, after the story, he was reported, rectified and compensated. There should be no less processes.

As for why they don’t apply for cold food business qualification, restaurant owners are also very helpless.

First of all, the threshold for handling cold food permits is not low, and special cold food production rooms, independent air conditioners and disinfection equipment are needed. A set costs about tens of thousands of dollars, and small restaurants simply can’t afford it.

In addition, many people who open restaurants simply don’t know that selling cold dishes requires a license for the manufacture and sale of cold food.

Grasping the two points of Xiaochengben and the lack of legal popularization, the father and son have repeatedly succeeded and achieved outstanding results: since 2020, they have reported 49 times.

In fact, there are not a few businesses targeted by professional counterfeiters.

After Chongqing tea merchants sold Mr. Jin Junmei a 100,000-yuan collection, customers took him to court because "the tea has passed the shelf life" and demanded compensation of 1 million yuan from Mr. Jin.

An old man in Guizhou who sells homemade sauerkraut in 9.9 yuan was sued by professional counterfeiters for selling three no products.

Some online shop owners were charged a personal fee of 1500 yuan because "the information on the title sold is inconsistent with the information on the product details page".

The public’s views on these behaviors of professional counterfeiters are also inconsistent.

Some people say that they are like woodpeckers, which have rectified the market environment. After all, fewer fakes are good for ordinary people.

However, the louder voice is: what woodpecker? I just want to make money.

Some professional counterfeiters drive luxury cars, live in luxury houses and earn millions of dollars a year.

What’s more, most professional counterfeiters buy fakes knowing that they are fakes. When they just bought fakes, they didn’t say anything, but they bought many more copies with their backhand, and then they had to pay compensation together. In some people’s eyes, this is to make a big ticket. Moreover, it is not easy for small vendors to make money, so why stare at them and ask for money?

What is even more shocking is that professional counterfeiting has already formed an industrial chain.

The mentoring system is popular in the anti-counterfeiting circle, and newcomers can get the "cheats" for claiming compensation by spending 30 yuan. If you want to learn the whole set, you have to spend 499 yuan to learn from the teacher.

△ Professional Claims "Tutorial", Source: The Paper

According to the mature veteran, this line of business is very profitable:

"Playing a single order is 500+, and two or three orders a day are no problem."

Even, there are slang words in the circle that outsiders can’t understand. For example, "getting on the bus" means forming a group with others to make a bill; "Getting off the bus" is the success of the action; "Fare" means to give money as a benefit when you get on the bus with others.

Take anti-counterfeiting e-commerce as an example. A complete process is roughly like this:

First, "find a car" and look for products with limit words such as "best" and "first"; After the arrival of the goods, on the grounds of suspected false propaganda, find the seller to negotiate 3 times compensation; If the seller does not agree, go to the regulatory authorities to complain; If the seller still insists, he will sue to the court.

Considering the time cost, most businesses will compromise.

Sometimes, counterfeiters also share resources internally, resulting in some businesses being claimed one after another.

There are also some impatient counterfeiters who directly put expired goods on supermarket shelves and put themselves in prison.

It is also for these reasons that the public opinion of professional counterfeiters that "justice is false and profit is true" is always lingering.

In fact, when professional counterfeiters first appeared, word of mouth was not polarized like this, but was uniformly praised.

The first batch of professional counterfeiters can be traced back to the 1990s.

At that time, the land of China was undergoing the baptism of reform and opening up, and making money in the sea became the consensus of countless people.

Under the tide of pursuing material desires, the consumer goods market is very irregular, and counterfeiting is prevalent. In 1994, the government promulgated the Law on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests, proposing that consumers can buy fakes in double indemnity.

The following year, a young man named Wang Hai put this law into practice.

On March 25th, 1995, Wang Hai bought two pairs of "Sony" headphones at 170 yuan price in Beijing Longfu Mansion.

In order to identify the true and false, Wang Hai traveled to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Technical Supervision Bureau and Sony Corporation, and spent a total of three days back and forth.

Wang Hai thinks that the hotel, meals and transportation expenses in these three days have already cost more than 200 yuan, even if the price of two pairs of headphones is compensated for 170 yuan, it will not be worth the loss after all.

So he came to Longfu Building again, bought 10 pairs of fake Sony headphones in one breath, and then complained to Dongcheng District Administration for Industry and Commerce.

This unprecedented operation attracted great attention at that time. In the end, Wang Hai successfully got compensation for 12 pairs of headphones.

After this battle, Wang Hai became famous.

At the end of 1995, China Consumer Protection Foundation awarded him the title of "The First Counterfeiter in China" and awarded him 5,000 yuan.

Southern Weekend called him a "down-to-earth patriot", economist Wu Jinglian wrote an inscription for him as a "market sweeper", and Clinton called him a "protector of consumers in China".

In 1996, Wang Hai was invited to participate in the first program "Who will protect consumers" of CCTV’s "Tell the truth". In the same year, Wang Hai set up a company and became a "professional counterfeiter".

△ Wang Hai in "Tell the truth"

Until now, Wang Hai is still active in the cause of counterfeiting. In November, 2020, he threw out a verification report on the Weibo, pointing out that the bird’s nest sold by Simba was "sugar water", which made the super online celebrity worshipped by countless old irons suffer the biggest waterloo.

Compared with 30 years ago, there are more and more professional counterfeiters today. However, in the eyes of the people and the judiciary, they are no longer pure messengers of justice.

In 2017, the General Office of the Supreme People’s Court proposed in an opinion reply to gradually curb the profit-making anti-counterfeiting behavior of professional counterfeiters.

In 2021, Chen Zhiqiang, known as "the youngest professional counterfeiter in China", was put on file for investigation by the public security organs.

Chen Zhiqiang, from Xuwen, Guangdong Province, began to "debut" in counterfeiting at the age of 18, and sued more than 800 cases in less than a year.

In the end, after suing an ordinary "counterfeiting lawsuit", Xuwen Court held that Chen Zhiqiang "used the merchant’s panic to force the merchant to compromise, repeatedly demanded money from the merchant, and was suspected of extortion" and transferred the clue to the public security organ.

On July 12, 2023, the General Administration of Market Supervision made a simplified license for the manufacture and sale of simple foods such as cucumbers.

To put it simply, it is more and more difficult to make money by professional counterfeiting.

But then again, in fact, professional counterfeiters are theoretically tenable.

Most of the products they reported were illegal according to the law. In reason, there is nothing wrong with exercising your rights within the scope of the law.

However, in love, it is really irritating for some counterfeiters to pick small vendors.

But I think the more critical question is, can food safety related to people’s livelihood really be solved by professional counterfeiters alone?

In the first program of "Tell the truth", Professor Xiao Zhuoji of Peking University asked the following questions to a staff member of a consumer association, and I think it also asked many people’s voices:

People like Wang Hai and others are needed to protect consumers’ rights and interests.

When it comes to new cars, everyone can’t help but ask, is it really better?The 2025 Xingyue L will be launched on October 23, 2024. The new car has been upgraded in both configuration and appearance, but whether this change is an evolution or a cold rice, I am afraid everyone has their own opinions.

Since its launch, it has attracted much attention, and with its atmospheric appearance and rich configuration, it has become a popular model in the market for a while.The early Xingyue L was equipped with a 2.0T + 8AT power system, which gave drivers a lot of surprises.Moreover, the interior design of Xingyue L has always been its highlight, from seat massage to headrest audio, it is full of sincerity.

The new 2025 Xingyue L will launch two models, a two-wheel drive version and a four-wheel drive version.Both models are equipped with a 2.0T + 8AT powertrain, continuing the usual style of Xingyue L. However, the new car has added a green paint, a new shape of straight waterfall grille and a silver brand logo to make the car look more stylish.

In terms of interior design, the new car has added a white interior, which is a stunning change, but it has also caused some controversy.The white interior is easy to get dirty and troublesome to clean, which gives many car owners a headache.The new model has cancelled the physical button at the bottom of the central control screen and replaced it with an electronic stop lever of the same style. The position of the wireless charging pad has also been moved to the front of the armrest box.These changes look more modern, but whether they are actually convenient to use remains to be seen.

Some car owners complained on the forum: "It is inconvenient to cancel the physical button operation, especially during the driving process, it is really frustrating to grope for the button." Another car owner said: "Although the electronic gear bar looks high-end, I still like the traditional gear bar, which is easier to use."

In terms of power, the maximum engine power of the new car is 160kW and 175kW, and the peak torque is 325N · m and 350N · m, respectively, matching the 7-speed wet dual-clutch or Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission.The combined fuel consumption for 100 kilometers is 7.59L and 8.59L.The data sounds great, but whether the true driving experience is as advertised still needs to be verified by the majority of car owners.

Some owners shared their driving experience: "The power of the new model is really good, and the starting acceleration is awesome, but there is a gap between the fuel consumption and the publicity, and the fuel consumption is higher in actual use." Another owner said: "The power system is very smooth, the gear shift is also very smooth, and it is very comfortable to drive."

The new Xingyue L comes standard with headrest audio, seat massage, two-row power seats, and CDC variable damping suspension.These configurations look luxurious, but whether they are actually practical remains to be seen.Headrest sound and seat massage are certainly highlights, but for most car owners, these features are more of an icing on the cake than a necessity.

Some owners said on social media: "The headrest sound effect is average, you can’t feel it when driving, and the seat massage is quite comfortable." Another owner complained: "These configurations look tall, but in fact they are not used much, and they are more often decorated."

Judging from the market’s reaction, the pre-sale of the 2025 Xingyue L is not bad, and many car owners have expressed their expectations for the new model. However, there are also many people who take a wait-and-see attitude. After all, it will take time to verify the actual performance of the new car.

Some industry insiders analyzed: "The new Xingyue L has been upgraded in both configuration and appearance, but these upgrades are more about optimization and improvement, and there is not much breakthrough." Some experts also said: "The market performance of the new Xingyue L still needs to be observed, after all, consumer needs and tastes are constantly changing."

From the current point of view, the launch of the 2025 Xingyue L will undoubtedly bring a new wind to the market, but it will take time to test whether it can become a new favorite of consumers. The competition in the automotive industry is increasingly fierce, and only through continuous innovation and improvement can we remain invincible in the market.

Perhaps in the future, Xingyue L will launch more upgraded versions to meet the diverse needs of consumers. After all, cars are not just a means of transportation, but also a symbol of quality of life. I hope Xingyue L can bring us more surprises and expectations in the future development.

Overall, the launch of the 2025 Xingyue L is undoubtedly a positive attempt, but whether this change is an evolution or a cold rice will require the test of time and the market.After all, only the real user experience can determine the success or failure of a car. I hope that when you choose to buy a car, you can choose rationally according to your own needs. After all, what suits you is the best.

Lynk & Co., as the pride of domestic cars, holds Volvo technology backed by Geely Dashan. In the past few years, its performance in the automobile market was quite dazzling. At its most brilliant time, with the two popular models 03 and 01, it became the first selling brand among domestic high-end brands in our country. However, since entering the new energy era, Lynk & Co has been slow in the field of new energy, and it has obviously fallen behind. Take the sales data in May. The sales performance of Lynk & Co is difficult to say.

The first selling model in May was the Lynk & Co 06, a model based on Geely’s BMA platform. Strictly speaking, it did not have the essence of Lynk & Co, and only sold 5,309 units. The second place was the Lynk & Co 03, with sales of 4,963 units. The third was the Lynk & Co 01, which sold 1,213 units. The fourth was the Lynk & Co 09, which sold 981 units. The fifth was the Lynk & Co 05, which sold 477 units. The following models were basically new energy extension vehicles and the fuel version of the Lynk & Co 09. Sales were in the hundreds or even double digits, while the Lynk & Co 02 did not sell a single unit.

It can be seen that the Lynk & Co brand is already in a quite dangerous situation. After all, the number of Lynk & Co’s 4S stores in the country has reached about 270. If you look at this level, the average sales volume of a store is 53 units. For Lynk & Co, the average sales volume of 53 units is no longer enough for the 4S stores in some areas to survive. If you want to make a breakthrough, Lynk & Co must make efforts in the field of new energy, and this force point is the Lynk & Co 08, which has been preheated for half a year but has not yet been listed. The Lynk & Co 08 is positioned as a medium-sized SUV. It is the first new energy exclusive platform SUV of Lynk & Co, and it is the big killer of Lynk & Co

However, Lynk & Co 08 has not been listed since it was exposed at the beginning of this year, and has not even entered the pre-sale stage. The Harvard Xiaolong MAX, Tang DM-i Champion, Galaxy L7, Dark Blue S7 and other models exposed during the same period have basically been listed or entered the pre-sale stage. The delay in the launch of Lynk & Co 08 has seriously affected consumers’ enthusiasm for consumption, and will make its leading technology outdated.

In fact, the reason why Lynk & Co 08 is not listed is also very simple, that is, the car market is too much, even a hot-selling brand like BYD has to reduce the guide price to launch the championship version of the model, as a competitor of Lynk & Co 08, the starting price of the Tang DM-i championship version is only 209,800, so the pricing of Lynk & Co is not sure, and can only wait for the opponent to choose after the listing.

　　Recently, the latest report released by Canalys, an international market research organization, shows that in 2023, the global smartphone shipments were 1.14 billion units, and China’s Xiaomi, OPPO and Voice were among the top five brands. In terms of sub-regions, China’s mobile phone brands have a high market share in India, Southeast Asia and Africa. In Europe, China’s smartphone brands are also accelerating their layout. With the development and maturity of smart phone industry in China, more and more China brands have gone overseas and gained consumer recognition.

　　Seek business growth in overseas markets

　　"China mobile phone manufacturers are becoming more and more innovative." According to the website of the German newspaper Le Monde, at the recent Mobile World Congress, the glory Magic6 Pro mobile phone uses artificial intelligence technology, and some functions can be controlled by eyes. Previously, Glory launched Magic V2, a foldable smart phone, with a thickness of only 9.9 mm, which is equivalent to that of ordinary mobile phones, which is the first time in the field of foldable smart phones.

　　In recent years, with the development and maturity of China’s smart phone industry, China has become the world’s largest producer and exporter of mobile phones with the help of the wave of the global mobile Internet era. According to the statistics of China General Administration of Customs, in 2023, China exported 13.92 trillion yuan of mechanical and electrical products, accounting for 58.6% of the total export value. In the first two months of 2024, China exported 2.22 trillion yuan of mechanical and electrical products, up 11.8% year-on-year, accounting for 59.1% of the total export value, including 123.745 million mobile phones.

　　According to the statistics of many international market research institutions, by the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, global smartphone sales had been declining for several consecutive quarters, showing a recovery trend. The total smartphone shipments in China market also stopped falling and rebounded in the fourth quarter of 2023.

　　"In the bustling shopping area of downtown Nairobi, billboards of China mobile phone brands such as TECNO, itel and Infinix can be seen everywhere, and blue, red and black and white storefront signs attract customers. These mobile phone brands are all produced by Voice. This Shenzhen-based company once sold mobile phones only in Africa, and then gradually expanded its business to other markets such as Latin America, India, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. " The South China Morning Post quoted Ali Sachu, a sub-Saharan geo-economic analyst, as saying: China mobile phone brands are "everywhere in the whole African continent".

　　According to a report quoted by Sputnik, in 2023, China brand smartphones accounted for 79% of Russian imported smartphones, which was 4 percentage points higher than that in 2022 and 29 percentage points higher than that in 2021.

　　Liu Yixuan, research manager of Canalys, analyzed that at present, overseas markets, especially emerging markets, are an important breakthrough for China smart phone brands to seek business growth, and different mobile phone brands also have their own development areas. Xiaomi has made full efforts in markets such as Middle East, Africa, Europe and Latin America. The overseas markets of OPPO and vivo are mainly in the Asia-Pacific region, and the overseas focus of glory is in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Seeking business growth in overseas markets is a strategic choice for many China mobile phone brands.

　　From "Winning by Price" to "Excellent Quality and Price"

　　Why do China smart phone brands sail in overseas markets? The technological innovation, industrial chain layout, product positioning and marketing strategy of China smart phone brand have attracted attention in the global mobile phone market. Alceni Thiam, an associate researcher at the European Institute for Outlook and Security, said that China’s products have been "winning by price" in the past to "excellent in quality and price" now, and they have advantages in research and development in smart phones, electric vehicles and other fields. China’s products are being favored by more and more countries.

　　Bai Ming, a member of the Academic Degree Committee of the Ministry of Commerce, said in an interview with this reporter that at present, China’s smart phones have occupied an important position in the international market and have strong market competitiveness in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa. The advantages of smart phones in China are as follows: First, the cost performance is high, and the functional design meets the local needs of overseas markets; Second, China has infrastructure cooperation with many countries in the field of communication, which facilitates the matching of smart phones and communication technologies; Third, China’s domestic smart phone industry is mature, with many sub-categories, complete industrial chain and high product update frequency. After full competition in the domestic market, the products have strong "hard power" when participating in overseas market competition.

　　Taking HONOR as an example, Canalys and Counterpoint data show that in the fourth quarter of 2023, it returned to overseas markets for less than two years, and its sales volume in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and other regions has ranked among the top five in the market, and a global sales service network covering more than 70 countries and regions has been established. Zhao Ming, CEO of Glory Terminal Co., Ltd., said in an interview with this reporter that Glory has maintained a rapid growth trend in the context of the global smartphone market decline, thanks to Glory’s insistence on high-quality development, targeting user needs, strengthening global industrial chain cooperation, and transforming technological innovation into products needed by the market. In addition, glory focuses on adapting to local conditions in different regional markets, providing product portfolios that match the needs of local users, and strengthening communication and cooperation with local partners to better enhance the user experience.

　　Advance into the developed market with "hard power"

　　According to the trend data of smartphone price segment share in China from 2019 to 2023 recently released by IDC, an international market research institute, the high-end market share of China brands above $600 has been growing continuously for five years, reaching 27.4% in 2023, an increase of 3.7 percentage points over 2022, and a full double of that in 2019.

　　According to Canalys data, in the recent fourth quarter of 2023, Apple’s share in the European smartphone market reached 33%, surpassing Samsung for the first time in seven quarters. Among the mobile phone brands in China, Xiaomi’s market share in Europe dropped from 17% to 16%, and Glory’s market share increased from 1% to 3%. At present, entering the developed markets has become a strategic choice for some smart phone brands in China.

　　"2023, as a year of vigorous development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, brings a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and also brings new opportunities and challenges to the global smart terminal market. The European mobile phone market is a representative mature market in the world, with a relatively high proportion of high-end users and large operators, and a high demand for innovative products and high-end brands. " Zhao Ming said that Glory regards Europe as the "second local market" and hopes to enter the European market with "hard power" such as innovative technology and high-end products. For example, glory has invested as much as 10 billion yuan in research and development in the AI field, obtained more than 2,000 AI-related patents, and used platform-level AI technology to promote the application of innovative technologies such as cross-device collaboration and next-generation intention recognition human-computer interaction in smart phones.

　　According to a recent report on the German newspaper Le Monde, it was not easy to buy a non-Apple brand smartphone in Germany a few months ago because there were not many choices. Previously, due to patent disputes, many Android mobile phone brands disappeared from the shelves of European countries. At the beginning of this year, related companies shelved patent disputes. China mobile phone manufacturers, including OPPO, Yijia, vivo and Realme, may try new things in Germany soon. As these brands re-enter the German market, the mobile phone brands that can be selected in the future should be more diversified.

　　"With the emergence of more and more application scenarios and requirements and the development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, the iterative update of China smartphones in terms of functions and technologies is worth looking forward to." Bai Ming believes that at present, China is still facing a bottleneck in the field of high-end smart phone chips, and it is urgent to continue to promote technological breakthroughs. In addition, in the markets of developed countries in Europe and America, China’s smartphones still face certain development bottlenecks and policy risks, and it is still necessary to speed up localization, strengthen cooperation with local industries, and build a diversified supply chain system.

As the saying goes, "Lantern Festival is held on the fifteenth day of the first month". As another major traditional folk festival after the Spring Festival, the main theme of the Lantern Festival holiday atmosphere is the word "noisy".

Lantern Festival viewing began in the period of Emperor Han Ming in the East. When Emperor Wen was in the Han Dynasty, the government ordered the 15th day of the first month to be officially designated as the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival in the Han Dynasty lasted for one day, which became three days in the Tang Dynasty and five days in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the lights were lit from the eighth day until the night of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, for ten days. In the Qing dynasty, the festival was shortened to four or five days.

During the Lantern Festival, festivals and customs all over the country are colorful and numerous. Here are 10 famous ones:

First, walk on stilts

Walking on stilts is a very old folk performance, which appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. On the Lantern Festival, this kind of folk activity of walking on stilts is popular in many places. Stilts are usually made of wood. Make a support point in the planed wooden stick to put your feet, and then tie them to your legs with ropes. Performers can not only walk freely on stilts, but also do various difficult movements such as splitting forks, jumping on benches, dancing yangko, dancing knives and making guns.

Second, the lion dance

Lion dance is an excellent folk art in China. During the Lantern Festival or other assembly ceremonies, the folk will entertain by dancing lions. This custom originated in the Three Kingdoms period and was popular in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It has a history of more than 1000 years.

Third, the flower viewing lamp

The custom of viewing lanterns on the Lantern Festival originated from the period of Emperor Han Ming. During the Yongping period, Emperor Hanming strongly advocated Buddhism and ordered "burning lamps for Buddha" in palaces and temples on the fifteenth night of the first month. Later, the custom of putting lights on Lantern Festival spread to the people in the court. Every time during the Lantern Festival, no matter the gentry or civilians, every household will hang lanterns and the streets will be brightly lit.

Fourth, playing dragon lanterns

Playing dragon lanterns, also known as "dragon dancing", has a history of more than two thousand years. Playing with dragon lanterns originated from people’s worship of dragons. In ancient times, people prayed for the blessing of dragons by dancing dragons, in order to have good weather and abundant crops in the coming year. The custom of dragon dancing has also been carried forward by overseas Chinese. Whenever China people have traditional festivals or major celebrations, they will dance lions and play dragon lanterns, showing a strong oriental atmosphere.

Five, yangko dance

In the Lantern Festival, simple northerners like to celebrate by dancing yangko. The style of yangko varies from place to place, including northern Shaanxi yangko, northeastern yangko, Hebei yangko, Shandong yangko and so on. Among them, the Northeast Yangko has the widest spread and the highest artistic level.

Sixth, solve riddles on the lanterns

"solve riddles on the lanterns", also called "playing riddles", is an activity added after the Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and solve riddles on the lanterns adds a lot of elegance to the festive day. Some people write riddles on paper, stick them on colorful lanterns for people to guess, and hang riddles with lights, so they are called "riddles".

Seven, rowing a dry boat

According to folklore, rowing a dry boat is to commemorate Dayu’s flood control. Rowing a dry boat is also called running a dry boat, which is to imitate the action of boating on land. The performers are usually girls, putting fake boats on their bodies and rowing, singing some local tunes and dancing while running. This is rowing a dry boat.

Eight, Ying Zigu

Zigu is a poor and kind girl in folklore. It is said that she is a concubine of a large family. Because the housewife was jealous, she was killed in the toilet on the fifteenth day of the first month. People sympathize with her and miss her, and in some places, the custom of "welcoming Zigu on the fifteenth day of the first month" appeared conveniently.

Nine, walking away from all diseases

In addition to celebrations, there are also some religious activities in the Lantern Festival, that is, "walking away from all diseases", also known as "dispersing all diseases", "baking all diseases" and "eliminating all diseases". The participants are mainly women, who walk together, or cross the bridge, or walk by the wall, or walk in the suburbs, with the aim of driving away diseases and disasters.

Ten, eat Yuanxiao

"Yuanxiao" is the name of northerners, while southerners call it "Tangyuan" and "Tangtuan". According to our traditional folk custom, every family eats glutinous rice balls on the 15th day of the first month every year. Because these names are similar to the pronunciation of "reunion", they go to the meaning of reunion, and hope that the whole family will be round and round, harmonious and happy on the night of the full moon in May.

　 　 As of September 2013, (|) Car Series has sold more than 340,000 cars in Europe, firmly occupying the top spot in European car sales. Not only is it sought after by consumers, but also by car media people. After winning the 2013 World Car Award and the 2013 European Car of the Year award, even the Japanese media, which has always protected the calf, awarded the 2013 Japanese Car Award to Golf 7.

　 　 What is the charm that makes Golf 7 so sought after? Can the domestically produced Golf 7 maintain the same quality? How does the torsion beam suspension affect the handling and comfort of the vehicle? Today, we will find the answer through detailed experience and professional tests. Before entering the detailed evaluation, let’s take a quick look at some questions about Golf 7.

Where is Golf 7 new? What’s the difference with Golf 6?

1. New platform: upgrade from PQ35 platform to MQB platform (transverse engine modular platform).

　 　 What benefits can the new platform bring? This starts with understanding the differences between the two platforms. Generally speaking, PQ35 platform is a platform that can only produce and develop compact cars (cars, SUVs, MPVs, etc.), while MQB platform can produce and develop small cars, compact cars and medium-sized cars (horizontal engine models).

　 　 Broader derivatives mean more spare parts can be shared. According to the official introduction, products from the same module platform of MQB can share the same specifications of engines, gearboxes and air conditioners, and the sharing ratio is about 60% of the whole vehicle parts, thus greatly saving the development cost of new cars.

2. New design: the game between inheritance and innovation

　 　 For the public and golf, brand recognition and the retention of traditional elements are often paid great attention to in design. This creates a lot of difficulties for designers, not only to make it look new and beautiful enough, but also not to leave behind the necessary contents such as "public face" and "golf element".

　 　　Compared with the 6th generation, the lines of Golf 7 are tougher and sharper, and at the same time, the proportion of details of the body has been adjusted a lot. For example, lowering the car body and increasing the car width can make the golf 7 look more dynamic. Compared with the 6th generation, the interior of the vehicle has also added more sense of design. The introduction of asymmetric design and the addition of piano paint are all aimed at giving people a sense of freshness and grade.

3. new power: EA211 high-power version has excellent performance

　 　　All the departments of Golf 7 will be equipped with EA211 engines, in which the parameters of 1.6L engine and 1.4T low-power engine are slightly improved compared with the current ones, while the EA211 high-power model we got has a maximum power of 150 HP and a peak torque of 250 Nm, which is not small improvement compared with the current 131 HP and 220 Nm.

　 　 Our measured 0-100km/h acceleration time of Golf 7 1.4T high-power version is only 8.20 seconds, and its performance is comparable to that of (|) and (|) with 1.6T engine. Compared with the performance of the 6th generation of 9.22 seconds (measured in car home), it has improved by one second, and it is at the leading level in the same level.

4. New suspension: The rear torsion beam suspension becomes a hot spot again.

　 　 As soon as the domestic Golf 7 came out, the change of the rear suspension once again became the target of public criticism. First of all, it can be affirmed that this is indeed a practice to reduce costs, regardless of what space is saved, because the seating space of Golf 7 is exactly the same whether it is equipped with torsion beam suspension version or multi-link suspension version.

　　　 What really makes people feel uncomfortable is that the 1.4T high-powered version is not spared. You know, in Germany, this version is a genuine multi-link. Fortunately, from the actual driving experience, Golf 7 does not decline in sports, but rises. The tighter suspension has stronger toughness than the sixth generation when cornering, but the comfort is weakened a lot, especially when riding in the back row. The feeling of vibration is very obvious.

5. New configuration: electronic handbrake, automatic parking, engine start-stop and adaptive cruise set a new benchmark.

　 　 The Golf 7 comes standard with an electronic handbrake and an AUTOHOLD automatic parking system. No matter in the configuration list or in use, there is a feeling that the competitors at the same level are superior. However, in actual use, the simultaneous starting and stopping of the engine and automatic parking will really affect some comfort, which will be discussed in the configuration part later. Let’s sell it here first.

　　　　Engine start-stop and adaptive cruise belong to the high-altitude configuration, whether it appears on high-equipped models or optional, and the manufacturer has not yet made it clear. There is nothing to say about starting and stopping, but the new version of the adaptive cruise system is eye-catching, and it basically realizes the "follow-up function". Not only can you stop with the front car when you encounter a red light, but you can also continue to follow the front car when you start again.

6. New entertainment system: MIB Standard Plus video details.

　　　 With the overall upgrade of the interior, the car entertainment system has also been replaced by the MIB Standard Plus. In fact, its sales are really average, because the screen size is only 5.8 inches, which is slightly larger than the 5.5-inch screen of Samsung Note2. Of course, the resolution is much worse. The function of the system is comprehensive, but the reaction speed is average.

What versions of Golf 7 will be available? What version is our test car?

　 　 In terms of power, the future Golf 7 will be divided into 1.6 and 1.4T displacement, of which the 1.4T engine is divided into high-power version (110 kW) and low-power version (96 kW). Among them, the 1.6L and 1.4T low-power versions will become the main sales force, while the 1.4T high-power version may only have 1-2 models.

　　　 Judging from the known information given by the government, the future Golf 7 can be divided into fashion type, comfort type, luxury type and flagship type, which is similar to the layout of the current six generations. Fashion models should only be available in 1.6L models, while the configuration of the flagship model is prepared for the 1.4T high-power version. According to the experience of the 6th generation, comfort and luxury will still be the main sales force. Before the price is announced, you can make a calculation according to the configuration.

　 　 Our test car is a 1.4T high-power version of the flagship, which represented the strongest strength of domestic Golf 7 before the 7th GTI went on the market. Can Golf 7 set a new benchmark? In the next evaluation, we analyze them one by one.
