　　With idolize’s behavior of fans becoming the talk of the mainstream public opinion field, another subculture circle "Chinese fan circle" has also gained increasing attention.

　　The most recent large-scale outing of the fan circle originated from the "227 Great Unity" and the AO3 wall incident. As the trigger of the incident, YiBo and Sean Xiao’s "Falling" attracted the attention of netizens on the fan creation platform AO3, and eventually the click rate exceeded one million, which surpassed its textual meaning and passively became the "first Chinese fan" on the AO3 platform.

　　"Falling" has been read 1.08 million times in AO3.

　　However, "227" not so much opened the "new world door" for ordinary netizens, but rather aroused some people’s consciousness: ordinary viewers who once thought they had nothing to do with the fan circle found that they had already watched or enjoyed the fan creation: The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a fan of The History of the Three Kingdoms, and the second video of bilibili Film and Television Zone is a fan product, and the "Lady’s Character" was originally a fan creation.

　　Fan-creation videos are increasingly becoming a kind of "good quality and low price" drama promotion method in the entertainment industry: Weibo, the official of a drama, often rewards the starring photo and a small bonus, and calls on scissorhands to create fan-creation videos for the series.

　　And this has led to several other discussions:Is it fair that the creator’s "power generation for love" virtually becomes a cheap labor force of capital?Recently, the copyright platform took off a large number of fan videos on bilibili after the publicity period of the drama series, which also caused protests from the fan circle. Fan creators thought that the platform’s "kicking down the bridge" and "killing the donkey" made them chilling; However, from the perspective of copyright ownership, fan creation is indeed a vague area, and there is an objective risk of being removed from the shelf.

　　Although it has just been out of the circle, the "fan circle" has already become a creative force that cannot be ignored.Poisonous eyes (WeChat ID:youhaoxifilm）We interviewed AO3 volunteer clay balls, the operation team of fan creation mutual aid type account "Scissorhands TutuBot" and Chi Wan, a fan writer of Tanmei. They are typical individuals in the huge Chinese fan circle. Observing them will help us understand the operation mode of the fan circle-they are doing the necessary work to maintain the normal operation of the fan circle: classifying and sorting out the fans, and helping each other in video editing skills teaching; And most fundamentally, they represent the creation itself.

　　Fan writer Chimaru:

　　Write something for it to prove that I like it.

　　Chi Maru is a professional writer who spans the circle of fans-she has signed a contract with a certain platform to become the author of novels about Americans, and at the same time, she is also widely engaged in fan creation. The Japanese anime "Inuyasha" is Chimaru’s masterpiece of beauty-seeking fan culture enlightenment: "I watched" Inuyasha "in the third and fourth grades of primary school, but I don’t know why I came into contact with Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, two CP fans, probably because their images are long hair and beautiful, so I easily accepted this setting."

　　Then Chimaru began her fan creation career: primary school began to write fans for her favorite Russian singers, and after climbing the wall, she dabbled in more and more: two-dimensional, three-dimensional, real-life CP and even national personification.

　　For Chimaru, creating a fan is the way for her to prove her love: "Generally speaking, I have a favorite character, so I will need to get to know this person and then use my fan to complete its story.I think I have to write something for it to prove that I like it. "

　　Chimaru believes that the pleasure of writing a fan comes from the release of creative desire and the satisfaction of self-projection. "The pleasure of writing a fan is actually similar to the pleasure of writing an original novel with me-I have my own creative desire, and I express it. For example, the original work actually gives you fragments of Gundam or other models, and writing a fan is the process of putting Gundam together. "

　　Therefore, Chimaru doesn’t care much about the number of readers. She has become the "pillar" in the unpopular CP circle several times, and she is almost the only writer in the whole circle. "There were two RPS(real person slash, CP) I started, and few people produced grain at all. There were almost no messages in my articles on LOFTER, because generally speaking, your few readers have become relatives and friends, and relatives and friends generally praised you in the private chat window and shouted’ I still want to eat, I am so hungry’."

　　Cold circle CP is also called arctic circle CP.

　　Chimaru, who has more than 10 years’ creative experience with humanities, has also experienced the prosperity and decline of several creative platforms. Chimaru remembers that the post bar before 2008 was very suitable for the creation of the same person: "The post bar is actually very small, and the users are all old acquaintances you have chatted with for a long time, so there will be no strangers coming in, and the atmosphere will be very good." However, with the increase of blocked words and advertisements in the post bar after 2008, the phenomenon that the post floor was swallowed frequently for no reason made the user experience worse. "At that time, I basically didn’t write in the post bar."

　　Around 2013, LOFTER became popular in the same circle. "LOFTER’s tag function naturally forms various fan circles, and then there is hot feedback including what red heart and blue hand are (note: red heart and blue hand are small icons like and recommended on LOFTER, which are used by users as pronouns of like and recommendation), and fans’ encouragement to the author is obvious." Chimaru said.

　　However, around 2016 and 17, with the action of "Net", LOFTER began to strictly restrict external links and increase shielding words. "Your articles are easily blocked, and people have to start using graphite documents, simplified books and AO3 to insert external links." Chimaru said.

　　AO3, which is now a hot topic, has not yet become the main position of Chinese fan circle in Chimaru’s view. "The social activity positions I have observed in the fan circle may still be in LOFTER and Weibo, while AO3 is that two groups are slowly converging. One is the fans who have been mixing Europe and America for a long time, and they have long been used to using AO3; There is also a kind of people who are pushed outside by the action of Net Net, and slowly start to send some fan clips that may be blocked in Weibo in AO3, and gradually get used to sending full texts in AO3. "

　　As a post-1995 generation, Chimaru has not experienced the "forum era" of fan creation, but she learned from her older friends that they miss the fan creation atmosphere in the forum era more. Because the circle of peers at that time was more private and like-minded.

　　"When the fan circle goes public, the risk of being reported and being’ harmonious’ is increasing, and the whole creative space is indeed getting smaller.But I’m not sure if this thing can bring some consensus to the circle of peers-for example, don’t report it.——I don’t believe it anyway. I’m rather pessimistic.. "

　　The behavior of printing entity fan zhi, which was once popular in fan zhi circle, is becoming less and less common now. "People, including the original beauty-obsessed authors, actually have a paper-book complex, and they all want to publish books in particular, so they will feel very happy. But now the investigation is particularly strict, so maybe everyone is not very used to publishing paper books. " Chimaru said.

　　The author of Tanmei was sentenced to four years in prison for publishing a personal chronicle.

　　Chi Maru, who has written about celebrities and real people, also suffered from "a police officer in the rice circle": "When there is hip-hop in China, I wrote about GAI and Wu Yifan’s fans. GAI is attacking, Wu Yifan is suffering, and my tag directly hits Wu Yifan. Then Wu Yifan fans told me that you can’t tag Wu Yifan, but you should tag’ whatever you suffer’-it was my freedom to tag according to the truth, but I did.

　　“I feel very crazy inside.",late pill added," but I’m willing to respect the rules of mental derangement. Because to put it bluntly, I am not a fan, I just borrowed this character image. It seems that you borrowed a material from someone else’s house. If you don’t show a little respect to the owner of the house, isn’t it a bit arrogant? "

　　In Chimaru’s view, the Chinese fan circle has not yet created an innovative worldview like ABO in Europe and America, but there have been interesting small ideas. She believes that the aspect that reflects the creativity of Chinese fan circle is the integration of various entertainment phenomena in the creation of real people.

　　"For example, now I’m visiting the’ La Tread Group’ in Douban, where the fellow scholars are particularly interesting. For example, ten pairs of real CPs are locked in a room to play escape, and all kinds of stalks of stars are integrated in the middle, which is what I particularly like. It is no longer the scope of the text, but it is more media-integrated." Chi Maru once again stressed, "Generally speaking, playing with stalks is a particularly vital thing."

　　AO3 Volunteer: My strange knowledge has increased.

　　In the "227" incident, the performance of AO3 official Weibo account OTWComms(OTW Re-creation Organization) continued to be well received: when Sean Xiao fans questioned the issue of the same humanity scale, AO3 official Bokop introduced AO3′ s warning label function and said that the use of the form label meant "the reader will bear the consequences", so "the author doesn’t need it, and we don’t stipulate that any other form of extra warning must be used."

　　When AO3 was blocked, the official blog continued to update the progress of problem investigation; When AO3 users have suicidal thoughts due to emotional instability, AO3 volunteers leave a message to the suicides: "The creative freedom you expect will come true. Please wait until that day. Can you make an appointment with me?" These rational, gentle and decent messages have been forwarded 50,000 times on Weibo. The netizen sighed with emotion: "The more educated, the gentler, the more empathetic, the more compassionate, and the more valuable life."

　　OTW Re-creation Organization responded to the situation that users in Chinese mainland could not access AO3.

　　OTW and AO3 volunteers left messages to persuade depressed patients who tried to commit suicide.

　　Behind the highly acclaimed AO3 official blog in the incident are dozens of AO3 Chinese volunteers who have been busy for nearly a week. AO3, as a non-profit fan creation platform, largely relies on donations from users and voluntary work of volunteers to maintain its operation. The number of Chinese volunteers on AO3 platform is about dozens, mainly including tag administrators who are responsible for sorting out the tags of Chinese fan works, PAC volunteers who handle complaints, Weibo homepage operators, news translation volunteers and so on.

　　Clay Ball is an AO3 volunteer who is in charge of label management. She called February 29th when AO3 was blocked as "a day of disaster": "One week after the incident, there were people in our Chinese volunteers’ chat group all the time, and everyone had a day of upside down day and night, which was too tired."

　　During that special period, in addition to cooperating with the technical department to investigate network problems, as an open volunteer, Clay Ball was also busy dealing with the public opinion in Weibo. "A large number of people flocked to my Weibo, so I collected feedback in Weibo and replied to some private messages to calm everyone’s mood."

　　In the next few days, AO3 users committed suicide again. "There was a sister in 227 Chaohua. It seems that she had depression, and the AO3 incident triggered her suicidal thoughts. A group of volunteers advised the sister in private letters and comments overnight, but fortunately she finally persuaded her-although I have never suffered from depression myself, I actually quite understand their feelings." Said the clay ball.

　　This understanding comes from empathy-before becoming a volunteer of AO3, the clay ball was already a fan of the same circle who highly recognized AO3. Nowadays, the clay ball, which has just entered the university, has been exposed to fan culture since the sixth grade of primary school. "At that time, I was watching an animation. Since the original work has not been updated, I posted it and discussed it with everyone during the waiting window. I looked at my fan and then wrote a little myself. At that time, I began to have a concept of my fan’s work."

　　The opportunity for clay balls to contact AO3 is to read Harry Potter in sophomore year. Interestingly, she first became interested in the original work through her fan works: "At that time, when bilibili was painted, it happened that the video of Vodafone CP was recommended on the homepage-Voldemort and Lin Daiyu were the’ cults’ of Lalang, so I went to see a lot of Vodafone CP texts, and then I had the idea of going to see the original."

　　Fudai CP on bilibili

　　After reading the original work systematically, the way clay balls continue their fun is still the same person. "Because I especially like the role of Snape, and then I can make up for the regret of its ending in the original, I have read a lot of Snape-related fan works-not to make up for the regret of letting Snape live, but to make up for the regret that the original did not tell his story more completely."

　　As Harry Potter began to wander around Europe and America, clay balls "inevitably came into contact with AO3", and AO3′ s community atmosphere also gave clay balls a sense of belonging.

　　She introduced: "AO3′ s tag search system and mechanism is that no matter whether you are a big boss or a newcomer, as long as you hit the right tag when posting, and then this CP you are using has a certain degree of popularity, your work can be seen by many people. Therefore,AO3 is a good encouragement for new creators.;On the other hand, AO3 is not so strict, even a little abnormal censorship, and the fan creation inside will be more free.. "

　　During the busy high school life, clay balls began to create Harry Potter fans in English on AO3 on weekends. "At that time, I was still living on campus. Every weekend, I went home and turned on my computer. My mailbox was full of readers’ reminders. When I found that so many people wanted me to update, I wrote happily. In fact, the works written at that time are really not very well written now. I am very grateful to the earliest group of colleagues for giving me so much encouragement and not abandoning my grammar and various mistakes. "

　　While writing about the same person, the clay ball ball also spontaneously made some search engine evaluations for AO3, recited words in AO3 and other Amway words: "I just want to let everyone know that there is such a good platform, and how to create and search things on this platform, which is almost the same as some people like to share beautiful photos of their cats and dogs in Weibo."

　　When AO3 recruited Chinese volunteers again in March 2019, the clay ball naturally applied and joined this big family: "There is one kind, how to say it? The feeling of being admitted to your favorite university. "

　　This mysterious organization aroused the curiosity of the outside world after the "227 incident". "In early March, someone pretended to be AO3 volunteers to sell VPN, saying that I was the administrator of AO3 volunteers in China, and I managed more than 90,000 volunteers. We have more than 100 groups. Give us the money quickly. I’ll take you to climb the ladder-it’s very interesting. In fact, there are not tens of thousands of people in OTW headquarters. If Chinese volunteers are involved, they will probably float on dozens of such values." In the Chinese volunteer team, there are students who have no background of studying abroad but have good English, as well as overseas students, overseas Chinese, mixed-race children and even foreigners who have studied Chinese.

　　A small number of Chinese volunteers are faced with a huge amount of work: sorting out the tags of Chinese works of the same humanities on the AO3 platform. "Chinese fan tags are really messed up, and there are too many interesting things. For example, there are four types of our tags-fandom (fan circle), character (role), relationship (pairing) and freeform (other), and then an author mistyped all the tags of all categories. After finishing the author’s article introduction, he also said, my English is not good, I hope tag doesn’t. But it’s really cute. " Said the clay ball.

　　"Dealing with Chinese tags really lets us know a lot of amazing things," said clay balls. "The pit of Chinese rpf is really deep-It’s okay abroad. Foreign fans will bring the real names of the characters when they write rpf. However, because many fans in China tear CP powder, they don’t always bring their real names when writing rpf.In AO3, although there is no such worry, it is customary for them not to bring their real names, so volunteers need to guess through a series of clues. "

　　I have never sorted out the Chinese rpf labels, but a colleague who has handled such labels told her: "There is no mention of the name of the protagonist in an rpf from beginning to end, and he has to go through a series of clues to finally determine who this person is and successfully put this article in the correct tag."

　　Although the volunteers’ English level is good, the Chinese peer circle tag is extensive and profound, which often makes them feel difficult in translation. "Some words feel too normal in Chinese, but I don’t know how to translate them. When I look up information about some uncommon tags, I often feel that my strange knowledge has increased. Once before, I had to translate nearly 100 Ne Zha-related tags, and one of them was the enchantment beast-the thing that stood at the door of Nezha’s house. I really didn’t know how to translate this thing, so I had to pinyin it, and then the description in brackets explained it. "

　　On April 2nd, OTW started a new round of volunteer recruitment, which was different from the previous number of comments in Weibo. This time, it was quite lively and was forwarded by comments for thousands of times. Of course, most of the messages modestly said, "Sorry, my English doesn’t match, so I can only bend my waist in the comments."

　　Scissorhands spit bot: becoming a satellite connecting islands

　　"bot with Scissorhands" (hereinafter referred to as bot) was established at the end of 2018, when "bot" accounts rose on a large scale in Weibo. "Scissorhands" is a nickname for fan video creators. As the name implies, it is an account for fan video creators to spit, help each other and share materials.

　　Bot operates diligently, posting more than 44,000 blogs in more than two years. Every day, it forwards and shares the empty lens materials that may be used by scissorhands, the single material of some stars and some color matching and special effects techniques with high frequency words, which has become an important editing material transfer station and a platform for answering questions about editing.

　　"When I was brushing Weibo, I saw someone saying that I wanted a scissorhand to spit bot. This is a very attractive idea," bot said to the poisonous eyes. "Because,As scissorhands, we often encounter problems that are difficult to solve by ourselves, such as finding materials, making friends and broadening our horizons.If there is such a platform, I believe that the creative life of many scissorhands will be much simpler and happier. There just happened to be an idle Weibo account under the skin, which was set up conveniently. "

　　Image taken from Weibo @ Scissorhands Tucao bot

　　Bot’s self-positioning is "a bot that can help Scissorhands do more things, hoping to become a space for Scissorhands to talk and communicate freely." There is a word "deviant" in the top Weibo of bot, which comes from the game "Detroit: Changing People", implying that bot wants to be a gentle AI like Chloe on the main page of Detroit. "This positioning is the core. Maybe our operation mode has been adjusted according to the feedback from fans, but the core has never changed.Creation is not an island, because we are willing to be a satellite connecting every island."

　　Bot will not easily see the creator of the fan video: "It’s all wives who produce food with their hearts! Scissorhands should be able to better understand the efforts and efforts of others. A video has been watched in three to five minutes, but it may take half a month for Scissorhands to complete. The efforts behind Scissorhands are particularly understandable. It is precisely because of this understanding that scissorhands can often cross the powder gap and communicate sincerely with other scissors hands without prejudice, and appreciate and help each other. This is commendable. "

　　Bot was affectionately called "Scissors" by its 67,000 fans. It was once jointly operated by four operators, who called themselves "Four Little Swan". Although they each liked different stars and works, the four people were good friends in life. "I don’t think the fan attribute is a reason to hinder cooperation and communication. After all, there is no circle boundary in creation. We have never wanted the scissorhands circle to be affected by the rules of rice circles. We don’t need to define a person by fans.Attribute and membership are not so important, only one thing is the same for everyone: power generation for love and persistent creation.. "

　　Creating fan videos is a process of "visualizing dreams" in bot’s eyes: "Who wouldn’t want to turn their dreams into reality? Moreover, compared with writing and drawing, editing fan videos is more pure, and no one will interfere with your creation. Moreover, the visual and auditory enjoyment of videos can’t be achieved by other creative methods. The stories created are just like the truth, very happy, right? "

　　However, bot, which adheres to the beautiful vision that creation can transcend attributes, still has inevitable friction with the rules of rice circles. In the "227 Incident", one of the operators used the bot account to forward a content that boycotted Sean Xiao’s endorsement, which led to the siege of Sean Xiao fans. In the end, bot fired the operator, and the "four cygnets" became "three cygnets".

　　"We still have to explain this matter to her, not with personal feelings, but really with the wrong number. It is the common decision of the four of us to expel her. It is definitely sad to be sad. It is indeed a helpless move. We can only’ sorrowful and change’-we don’t care much about who our companions like and hate, but as a bot, it is the original sin to lose the skin on the wrong number.We have devoted our energy and enthusiasm, and we don’t want our bot to end up shut down because of something."

　　Two years of operating bot is full of happiness for them. "If fans think that the road to editing is really more relaxed and convenient because of our existence, then our goal has been achieved. In addition to the daily submission, we also have some game activities, such as "The Role Escaping Guess" and "The Blind Box of Lang Lang", which are interactive games designed according to the hobby direction of scissorhands. Sometimes, because the skin is busy, the time of playing games may not be so fixed. Every time we receive fans’ "Are there any games today?" "I haven’t played for a long time and miss them" in a private message, we will feel that we will be very satisfied and happy when we have brought happiness to others. "

　　Image taken from Weibo @ Scissorhands Tucao bot

　　Bot also admits that when he is busy, he simply "wants to abandon his number every day": "When he is busy with work and study, he still thinks about clearing manuscripts, and he has opened nearly 100 articles to be cleared in Weibo for submission, which is very big. There are still many problems that I want to vomit, such as submitting without reading the submission guide, reaching out to the party, submitting a lot of repetitive content, and bringing the rules of rice circles into the scissors hand circle. However, when I want to give up, I will think that many people will be sad. When I want to vomit, I may send some Weibo that fans can see, or vomit in the fan group, which often resonates with fans or gains some improvement opinions. "

　　Nowadays, the pressure faced by the fan video circle is not only the entanglement of rice circles, but also the copyright party’s control over fan videos. Many fan videos released in bilibili are often taken off the shelves by the copyright party in large numbers, which has hit many scissors’ enthusiasm for producing food. In this regard, bot thinks: "The copyright owner has the right to remove the fan video, and the scissorhands also have the right to refuse to edit certain works for some reasons.Using love to generate electricity doesn’t mean that scissorhands in the same circle can be free labor. Scissorhands can edit and promote favorite stars or film and television works out of love, but no one should be used.. "

　　@ Scissorhands Tucao bot’s Tucao Content

　　In bot’s view, creation is essentially to generate electricity for love, driven by interest, and the most important thing is that scissorhands produce happily. "If you give up what you like for various reasons from outside, then this kind of love may be a bit stale.We believe that the boundary of co-author creation and copyright issues will become more and more perfect in continuous practice.. "

　　tag

　　Before the "227" incident, most people only knew about rice circles, but didn’t realize that there was a Chinese fan circle that transcended the attributes of fans and existed based on the consensus of free creation for love. Facts have proved that although its structure is loose, it is real: there are volunteers to maintain order, there are mutual-aid accounts as porters of knowledge and resources, and there are many fan creators who exist for the creation itself rather than a specific star or work, and they continue to produce works.

　　When the values recognized by peers are offended, this force from subculture will come together and even shake the reputation of a top traffic star. As Scissorhands Tucao bot said, the "creators" seem to be isolated islands, but countless satellites connecting each island have been quietly running under the night.

[Original of Truck House] When we truck drivers buy oil, we can see numbers like 15w-40 or 20w-50 on the outer packaging of the oil, and words like API CH-4API CI-4 can also be seen below. These are the labels of the oil, so what do these labels mean?

● 　SAE 15w-40 What does all this mean?

SAE in the front is the abbreviation of American Society of Automotive Engineers, and the viscosity index of engine oil is formulated by them and is universally used. 15w-40 in the back represents the viscosity index of this engine oil. At the same time, this label also shows that this engine oil is a multi-grade engine oil, and the current civil engine oil has no previous single-grade engine oil, that is to say, it can be used all year round, so let’s take 15w-40 as an example to illustrate the meaning now.

"W" means winter. The smaller the number 15 in front of it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil. 15W means that the oil can be used in the environment above minus 20℃. The number 40 at the back represents that the kinematic viscosity of this oil ranges from 12.5 mm/s to 16.3 mm/s at 100℃, and other viscosity indexes also have corresponding standards, which is by no means what some people say can be used at 40℃.

● 　What does API CH-4 mean?

API is the abbreviation of american petroleum institute, followed by CH-4, C, and H after diesel oil. S stands for gasoline engine oil, and n stands for the grade of the gasoline engine oil. If it is marked as SN/CF, it is a general-purpose gasoline and diesel engine oil.

According to different letters, the grades of engine oil can be arranged, and the lower the letter, the better the performance of engine oil. And the engine oil with the lower letter has more examples of meeting the emission standards. Now, because of the post-treatment, the vehicles discharged in the fifth national standard generally use engine oil above CI level.

● What does ACEA certification mean?

ACEA is the abbreviation of European Automobile Manufacturers Association, which is the inspection and certification standard for automobile lubricating oil in European automobile manufacturing industry. From the technical requirements, it is higher than the American API standard mentioned above. Many of our big-name engine oil packages will see the relevant certification of ACEA, so you can carefully observe and compare them.

ACEA’s certification of heavy diesel engine lubricating oil is divided into four grades, namely, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7 and E9. Similarly, the higher the number, the higher the grade of engine oil. Generally, big-name engine oil will certify these corresponding grade standards at the same time. You can carefully observe the marks on the barrels.

● 　So how do we choose?

Generally speaking, when choosing engine oil, you should first refer to the requirements in the vehicle manual. For example, this car requires the use of 15W-40 CH-4 engine oil. In practice, we can not only choose the engine oil with this grade and viscosity according to the instructions, but also raise the engine oil level by one grade, that is, we can use CI-4 engine oil with 15W-40 viscosity, which will better protect the engine and promote the emission standards.

If your local temperature is below-25℃ in winter, we can choose engine oil with viscosity of 10w-40, which will make the cold start smoother and ensure that the engine oil can be pumped to the friction surface during cold start. Just remember one thing, the last 40 remains the same, and the small number in front has no effect.

If it is an old engine, you can choose an oil with a slightly higher viscosity, such as 20w-50. For an old engine, the oil with a slightly higher viscosity can better protect and maintain the normal operation of the engine. (Text/Jiang Yitu/Jin Zhu Jiang Dai)

All the engine oils in Truck House Mall are genuine. Please poke the above picture for details.

Gourmet is a kind of philosophy. Gu Wenhao wrote in "The History of Civilization on the Tip of the Tongue", "Whether it is to arouse yesterday’s world or to explore the deep reasons for the changes of the times. Food is no longer a simple thing to eat. On the contrary, it fully participated in the shaping process of personal memory and the whole society. The regional specialty food is especially in the hometown, which carries the smell of the hometown of the country when the youth is young; For early adopters, it conveys the unique cultural core of distant places. "

Gourmet philosophy, the quiet rise of regional cuisine

The sudden epidemic has trapped Wuhan. For a time, every bit of Wuhan touched the hearts of the people all over the country. With the gradual disappearance of the epidemic, people’s worries about Wuhan and its people have gradually turned into expectations and blessings for its rapid recovery. However, in the face of the tourism industry that has not resumed as usual, both the Yellow Crane Tower and Wuda Sakura are still far from us. At the moment when the travel was stopped, it trapped the body but could not help the Chinese people to explore the gluttony of regional cuisine. A national regional food feast has quietly emerged on the Internet, and the sales of regional food such as snail powder, hot pot, hot and sour powder and rice noodles have soared. At the same time, Regan Noodles has become the "sustenance" of the people of the whole country. According to statistics, from January 20th to March 2nd, 2020, snail powder on Taobao ranked first among the best-selling products. At the same time, the sales of convenience Regan Noodles products have also increased substantially. The epidemic of "black swan" has brought new opportunities to regional cuisine.

Investigating the reasons for the sudden emergence of regional cuisine, Professor Zhou Hongcheng from China Institute of Food Culture, Zhejiang Gongshang University interprets it as follows: First of all, the production process of regional cuisine is relatively simple and the production process is not complicated, and the short, flat and fast cooking method conforms to the fast-paced life trend of modern people; Secondly, regional cuisine can satisfy diners’ psychological curiosity about unknown tastes in different regions; Furthermore, the online celebrity of regional cuisine has also promoted the rapid development of regional cuisine.

Indeed, the sudden emergence of regional cuisine in the past two years is closely related to its regional culture and modern people’s different psychological demands for food. First of all, there is a profound historical and cultural endorsement behind the "small but specialized" regional cuisine with distinctive characteristics, which is not only food but also traditional culture. According to ccas《2019 Asian Catering Development Report, 87.5% of the respondents believe that food exchange and mutual learning is an important way to communicate with cultural civilization. Secondly, the new media channels represented by short videos provide a huge flow and window for spreading regional food culture. Tik Tok search data shows that the search volume with "gourmet" as the key word in the first quarter has greatly increased compared with the past. The bottom-up communication path also provides an emotional foundation for the spread of regional cuisine. A large number of regional cuisines have changed from grassroots to popular national cuisines, and local snacks such as Moon steamed buns, Taiwan Province rice balls, northeast fried skewers, snail powder, hot and sour powder and Regan Noodles are the representatives of this cultural phenomenon.

Carrying blessings, Regan Noodles jumped into online celebrity’s new "group pet"

Among many regional cuisines, Regan Noodles will undoubtedly be the big winner this year, and its popularity has even become a cultural phenomenon. According to "Taobao Eating Big Data Report in 2019", Regan Noodles sold 4.78 million pieces a year, ranking among the top of the list of "Chinese regional snacks" and enjoying a good popularity. With the restart of Wuhan, Regan Noodles, the "old online celebrity", has become a "new group pet" in the regional food industry, and has a tendency to surpass the big brother snail powder. According to media reports, recently, many Regan Noodles brands are out of stock or pre-sold on shopping platforms such as Tmall and JD.COM. Among them, the delivery time of Regan Noodles products in pre-sale needs to wait for many days, and the hot scene can be seen.

One of the reasons why Regan Noodles can stand out among many regional beauty foods is its unique taste. Everyone in Wuhan knows that authentic sesame sauce is the soul of Regan Noodles. After eating a bite, the faint sesame fragrance overflows the mouth, the crispy side dishes are fresh and delicious, and the noodles are strong, refreshing and slippery. The second is because of its cultural connotation. As the city card of Wuhan, the authentic Regan Noodles with glutinous gluten sauce, spicy and delicious flavor is like the cool and honest and frank character of Wuhan people, showing the fashionable attitude of Wuhan. In 2014, Wuhan Regan Noodles was officially declared as a national intangible cultural heritage, and it was also called "Four Noodles in China" with Zhajiang Noodles in Beijing, Daoxiao Noodles in Shanxi, Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou and Dandan Noodles in Sichuan. Thirdly, as the epitome of Wuhan, Regan Noodles has become a national memory of the epidemic, and has been endowed with more national cultural symbols, placing the blessings and expectations of the people of the whole country on Wuhan.

At 0: 00 on April 8, Wuhan lifted the control measures for the passage from Han to Hubei, and Wuhan finally got out of the cold winter. A picture by Weibo netizen @ Chen Xiaotao momo exploded the network, and "Regan Noodles, long time no see" became a popular buzzword and rushed to the hot search. In order to help Wuhan and Hubei recover as soon as possible, JD.COM and other e-commerce platforms launched a "buy all Hubei goods" campaign, and a number of featured goods, including Regan Noodles, "exploded" on the platform. Zhou Danpeng, a food industry analyst in China, also mentioned the influencing factors of emotional marketing when interpreting the sudden hot sale phenomenon in Regan Noodles.

"Noodles" compete for hegemony, and good sesame sauce is the authentic taste.

But at present, there are many brands in Regan Noodles market, and their tastes are complicated. Search "Regan Noodles" through "Sky Eye Search", and there are 18,679 related companies. A dazzling array of products can be described as "the flowers are gradually fascinating." How to select Regan Noodles with authentic flavor from many brands like "the fight between immortals" has become a difficult problem for consumers.

Recently, Huang Cancan, an artist who was born in Hubei and grew up in Wuhan, joined hands with the self-catering brand that created a catering standard for one person to launch an authentic Regan Noodles-self-catering Wuhan Vitality Regan Noodles. Adopt imported wheat, 10 degrees cold water multi-pass kneading technology to make dough, and the gluten is refreshing; The black sesame paste rolled by traditional technology is rich and mellow; Just the right sour beans, sour and appetizing; Spicy radish diced with radish as raw material is fresh and crisp; With chopped green onion and sesame seeds, the authentic Wuhan flavor of Regan Noodles will be brought into full play.

"Regan Noodles’s soul is sesame sauce. Since the pot of Wuhan vitality, Regan Noodles has brought the mellow flavor of sesame sauce to the extreme. The addition of small ingredients such as sour beans and spicy radish diced enriches the taste, and the spicy oil and sauce are just right, making the taste more Wuhan-like." In order to restore authentic delicacies to the greatest extent, as the delicious ambassador of Regan Noodles, Huang Cancan personally participated in product development. Among them, the proportion of sesame sauce is constantly adjusted based on her feedback, just to find the authentic taste of Wuhan.

After 1995, Huang Cancan met Wuhan Regan Noodles with a history of nearly a hundred years, just like the collision between young people and traditional culture, which showed the original attitude of young consumers towards life, not only pursuing texture, but also being fashionable and interesting. As a Regan Noodles with the same attitude, Zihiguo Wuhan Vibrant Regan Noodles is not only rich in material, delicious, but also attractive and interesting. It incorporates local cultural elements in packaging design, and the appearance of Wuhan dialects such as "premature", "solid" and "right appetite" brings authentic flavor to consumers. The intimate design of the filter hole and the transparent food-grade lunch box show the attitude of a food enterprise and its insistence on quality.

It is worth mentioning that this dynamic Regan Noodles in Wuhan has also pinned the emotional resonance of the self-hi pot, Huang Cancan and Wuhan. After the outbreak of the epidemic in January 2020, Zihuiguo took the lead in donating more than 5 million yuan worth of Zihuiguo to more than 50 hospitals in key areas of COVID-19, such as Wuhan, Xiangyang, Yichang and Huanggang, becoming the first internet enterprise to donate to the epidemic area and the first emergency food to be delivered to Wuhan hospital. Huang Cancan, a native of Hubei Province, also donated 30,000 copies of self-hi-pot products to the epidemic area in conjunction with self-hi-pot. This origin is also an important opportunity for the launch of Wuhan Vitality Regan Noodles.

One-person aesthetics opens the era of "exclusive enjoyment" of food

According to statistics, in 2018, the sales of "one-person food" foods, such as self-heating hot pot and snail powder, increased by over 60% year-on-year. According to the data report of "National Taste in 2019-2020" released by Tmall, one-person food will become one of the six annual food consumption trends in 2020. With the growing number of single people living alone, the single economy has risen, and one-person eating has gradually become a trend.

At the same time, the main group of "eating for one person" is Generation Z, and this group of young people who pursue the attitude of "being alone but not alone" are more willing to enjoy this consumption habit. The Post-95 Lifestyle Research Report describes the characteristics of this group in detail. They are more concerned about "experience" and "frugality" at the same time, and they try to tap better value and service. In terms of attitude towards food, it is reported that Generation Z pays more attention to food health, takes a fancy to food culture, likes DIY process and interaction. Their attitude towards food is closer to the category of "aesthetics".

In order to conform to the brand-new lifestyle and psychological aesthetic appeal of Z generation, the brand of self-help pot has formed its own unique product matrix. Focusing on the regional taste, Zihiguo, which devotes itself to promoting Chinese food culture, has successively launched online celebrity regional special fast food products, such as snail powder self-heating pot (Guangxi), chicken soup with small fresh mushrooms (Yunnan fresh mushrooms), Japanese dolphin bone self-heating pot, Korean army self-heating pot, beef clay pot with sand tea (Guangzhou), Chongqing Xiao noodles, etc., so that young people of generation Z can taste delicious food from all over the country without leaving home. The launch of Regan Noodles has further enriched the product layout of regional cuisine in Zihiguo, and enabled more Z-generation young people and food lovers to taste the original "Wuhan flavor", satisfied their curiosity about food, and provided rich life choices of "eating for one person".

　　　　　　 CCTV News:Today (October 13th) morning, the State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce the import and export situation in the first three quarters of this year. The data shows that in the first three quarters of this year, the total value of China’s foreign trade import and export increased by 0.7% year-on-year, achieving positive growth for the first time in the year.

　　　　　　 Customs statistics show that in the first three quarters of this year, the total value of China’s foreign trade import and export was 23.12 trillion yuan, up 0.7% year-on-year. Foreign trade stabilized and improved quarter by quarter, and imports and exports were obviously better than expected.

　　　　　　 In terms of exports, since April, China’s exports have achieved positive growth for six consecutive months, mainly because epidemic prevention materials have boosted exports by 2.2 percentage points, followed by "home economy" commodities such as laptops and household appliances, which have boosted exports by 1.1 percentage points. In addition, the orderly promotion of domestic resumption of work and production has led to an increase in export orders.

　　　　　　 On the import side, the sustained and stable recovery of China’s economy has supported the recovery of import value. In the first three quarters, the import value of mechanical and electrical products in China increased by 3.9%, and the import volume of bulk commodities such as crude oil, iron ore and aluminum ore increased by 12.7%, 10.8% and 12.7% respectively.

Case review

On January 27, 2022, Zhang contacted 9 people including A, B and C to have dinner at the hotel in the evening. That night, Zhang brought three bottles of white wine and bought a case of beer from the hotel. During the meal, two people left first. In the case of drunkenness, Party A and Party B toasted each other and advised them to drink until about ten o’clock in the evening. After the dinner, B was sent to the health center. A was sent home by his younger brother C. Later, C found that A was in a wrong situation and immediately sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment. A died after being rescued by the hospital on January 29th, 2022. The causes of death were acute alcoholism, respiratory and cardiac arrest, acute respiratory and circulatory failure, acute pulmonary edema and aspiration pneumonia. A’s parents and two children, as plaintiffs, sued eight people at the same table at the dinner that night and demanded compensation of more than 800,000 yuan.

Court hearing

The court held that it is understandable to drink together at dinner, but participants should not drink too much, toast and persuade, and they also have the obligation to persuade, remind and take care of each other. As a person with full capacity for civil conduct, A should have a sense of self-protection. He should know his physical condition and the risks brought by drinking. However, he allowed this risk to exist and drank a lot at dinner, which was a great fault for his death.

Defendant Zhang, as the organizer of this dinner, has a certain duty of safety care for the diners. Compared with other drinkers, he should dissuade them in time after discovering that A is drunk, and pay more attention to the abnormal performance of A after the dinner.

Defendant B, as a co-drinker, still toasted and advised each other when A was already drunk, which promoted the excessive drinking of A and should bear more liability for compensation than other drinkers.

Although defendant C didn’t drink alcohol on the wine table, he knew that A’s situation was wrong during the escort, but he didn’t send him to the hospital in time, so he should bear the responsibility.

The two people who left first didn’t know A before. Although they participated in the dinner, they didn’t drink alcohol, and when they left the dinner first, A didn’t have any abnormal situation, so they didn’t bear the liability for compensation.

The other four people failed to fulfill the obligation of persuasion, reminder and care when they were drinking wine, which led to the defendant B taking intravenous drip after drunkenness, and as a result, A died, and should be liable for the death of alcoholism after drinking alcohol.

To sum up, after comprehensively considering the faults of all parties, the court of first instance decided that Party A should bear 74% of the responsibility, while Defendant Zhang should bear 10%, Defendant B should bear 8%, Defendant C should bear 2% and the other four should bear 1.5% respectively. The plaintiff gave up the responsibility for C, so the court ruled that defendant B compensated plaintiff 91,683.58 yuan, and defendant Zhang compensated plaintiff 114,604.47 yuan. The other four people compensated the plaintiff 17,190.67 yuan respectively.

After the defendant Zhang refused to accept the appeal, the court of second instance presided over the mediation, and finally reached a mediation agreement with relatives of A voluntarily.

Judge’s statement

Under what circumstances should table drinkers bear legal responsibility?

In the banquet, if something goes wrong with drinking, there are four behaviors that the drinker at the same table should bear legal responsibility:

1, compulsive persuasion, such as "don’t drink enough friends" and other language to stimulate the other side to drink, or in the case that the other side is drunk and unconscious and has no self-control, still persuade them to drink.

2, knowing that the other party can’t drink, still advise him to drink, for example, knowing the other party’s physical condition, still advise him to drink and induce diseases.

3. Failing to escort the drunken person safely. If the drinker has lost or is about to lose control over himself, and is unconscious and unable to control his behavior, the drinker fails to send him to the hospital or send him home safely.

4, drunk driving did not discourage the car accident and other damage.

Law link

Civil Code of People’s Republic of China (PRC)

[Article 165th] If the actor infringes upon the civil rights and interests of others through his fault and causes damage, he shall bear the tort liability.

[Article 179] Anyone who infringes upon another person and causes personal injury shall pay compensation for medical expenses, nursing expenses, transportation expenses, nutrition expenses, hospital food subsidies and other reasonable expenses for treatment and rehabilitation, as well as the income reduced due to absenteeism. If it causes disability, it shall also compensate for the cost of assistive devices and disability compensation; If death is caused, funeral expenses and death compensation shall also be paid.

[Article 181] If the infringer dies, his near relatives have the right to request the infringer to bear tort liability. If the infringed person is an organization and the organization is divided or merged, the organization that inherits the rights has the right to request the infringer to bear the tort liability.

If the infringer dies, the person who paid the reasonable expenses such as medical expenses and funeral expenses of the infringer has the right to claim compensation from the infringer, unless the infringer has paid the expenses.

Judge’s prompt

Every drinker

Are the first responsible person for their own health.

In the process of drinking

Don’t force persuasion, excessive drinking and fighting.

After a year, Johnson & Johnson products were once again detected to contain carcinogens. This time, the US government threw a hammer and found a small amount of asbestos in Johnson & Johnson baby powder for the first time.

Johnson & Johnson therefore announced last night (18th) that it voluntarily recalled 33,000 bottles of baby powder in the US market.

The safety problem of Johnson & Johnson products has been very prominent in recent years. In addition to the $4.69 billion compensation awarded to the defendant for "the carcinogenic incident of talcum powder" last year, Johnson & Johnson recently suffered from problems such as "patient bleeding" and "breast hyperplasia in boys". At the same time, Johnson & Johnson’s painkiller products need to pay 272.1 million US dollars for containing opioids.

At present, there are as many as 100,000 lawsuits that Johnson & Johnson faces because of its product problems.

Observer Network noted that Johnson & Johnson issued a statement last night (18th), and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) detected asbestos in a bottle of Johnson & Johnson baby powder. The statement stressed that,The recalled baby powder is only produced and sold in the United States.The bottle of talcum powder that was detected to contain asbestos was purchased by the FDA through an online retailer, and the asbestos content did not exceed 0.00002%.

It is worth mentioning that,This is the first time that Johnson & Johnson has recalled its home in baby powder due to asbestos problems. It is also the first time that the US government found asbestos in Johnson & Johnson products.

It should be noted that on July 12 this year, the US Department of Justice revealed that it was investigating Johnson & Johnson products to investigate whether it concealed that Johnson & Johnson products might cause cancer. At that time, it was widely believed that the American government was investigating talcum powder and other products.

Since 2012, many consumers have sued Johnson & Johnson, claiming that long-term use of the brand talcum powder caused them to suffer from cancer.There are currently 15,000 talcum powder related lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson.Among them, in July last year, 22 women filed a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson, accusing the latter of talcum powder products containing asbestos and eventually causing cancer. In this regard, the Missouri court in the United States ruled that Johnson & Johnson paid $4.69 billion in compensation.

In addition to talcum powder products, products related to pelvic omentum implantation sold by Johnson & Johnson have beenCausing the patient to bleed heavily., was sued by prosecutors in 41 States. Johnson & Johnson just reached a settlement with the defendant two days ago (17th) and decided to pay $117 million.

On the 8th of this month, Risperdal, an antipsychotic drug from Johnson & Johnson, was released.Due to hyperplasia of mammary glands in male children, was awarded $8 billion in damages by the Philadelphia court.

In addition, on May 28 this year, prosecutors in Oklahoma formally sued Johnson & Johnson, accusing Johnson & Johnson of using misleading means to sell painkillers containing opioids and downplaying the side effects of drugs. In recent years, the abuse of opioids in the United States has been serious.To illustrate the seriousness of the situation, the prosecution also cited the example of "opium poisoning Chinese in the 19th century".Johnson & Johnson is required to be responsible for this phenomenon, calling it the "mastermind".

In this regard, in August this year, Oklahoma of the United States ruled that Johnson & Johnson of the United States compensated the state government for $572.1 million. Johnson & Johnson said that he would appeal.

The New York Times revealed that at present, Johnson & Johnson is facing lawsuits due to its product problems.Up to100,000.

Today, talcum powder is found to contain a small amount of asbestos, said David Noll, a law professor at Rutgers University in the United States."I can’t imagine Johnson & Johnson’s lawyers standing in front of the jury and preaching how safe their products are."He added, "If someone is involved in Johnson & Johnson products now, it will affect this person’s ability to sell other products in the future."

Wells Fargo said that this recall will lead to more lawsuits and prompt Johnson & Johnson to seek a broader settlement.. The settlement may cost Johnson & Johnson $2 billion to $6 billion.

On the market side, Johnson & Johnson’s share price plummeted yesterday, closing down 6.22% and offering $127.7 per share. At present, the market value of Johnson & Johnson is $337.021 billion.

　　Cctv news(Reporter Sun Xiaoyuan): 65-year-old Dai Jianye goes to bed at 3 am and gets up at 9 am every day. This routine has been going on for almost two years. He once said that loneliness is the deepest scar in adolescence, "but now I am too busy to be lonely."

　　In the era when short videos were the hottest, Dai Jianye was pushed to the top of the traffic because of his poor Mandarin and humorous ancient poems.

　　At the beginning of 2018, some of the lecture videos he recorded more than 10 years ago were intercepted and uploaded to Tik Tok, and one of them quickly exceeded 20 million hits that day. The ease and interest of the three-foot platform made the old professor popular on the Internet when he was about to retire. In his own words, he was very popular when he was teaching at school, but now it seems that the whole country knows it.

　　In mid-May this year, Dai Jianye officially retired from Huazhong Normal University. He declined the employment of two universities in the south and has been silent in his study ever since. Reading in the morning, writing in the afternoon, and recording videos in the evening. If he still has time, he will also call his friends and "brag".

　　He said that at this age, it is very lucky to know what you can and should do.

Dai Jianye

　　Flow top

　　Dai Jianye, standing in front of the public, has white hair and a wrinkled face. Since he became popular on the Internet, people he knew always greeted him with a few words, "Teacher Dai, have a joke".

　　He smiled bitterly. "It seems that my jokes are in my pocket and can be taken out at any time."

　　In the usual lectures, when Dai Jianye is emotional, he will pop out one golden sentence after another and talk about the ancient literati, which is unique. He condensed the friendship between Du Fu and Li Bai into nine words, "looking for immortals, picking fairy grass and refining elixir". He commented on the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, "romantic as hell, crazy as hell", which was later used by netizens to describe him, and added, "fun as hell".

　　He once said in an interview, "Now people always say that I have an interesting soul, but if you just watch the short video on Tik Tok, you will misunderstand me.".

　　The speaker is easy to get into the role, and the listener is also easy to be infected. On the Tik Tok platform, Dai Jianye has more than 5 million fans, which is almost the same as the national population. Young people don’t study, which worries him. In the era of fragmented knowledge, he has repeatedly mentioned that the best way to learn is to go in from videos and come out from books.

　　Last October, an hour before bilibili’s first live speech, Dai Jianye carefully shaved his beard and looked in the mirror again before taking the stage. He joked, "This live broadcast is like a tryst with your beloved girl. You should try your best to make your appearance super clean and handsome, and try your best to speak your Mandarin super standard and beautiful."

　　The live broadcast began with "I am Dai Jianye" and ended with "I am Dai Jianye". At this point, he has a new identity authentication: a well-known UP owner in bilibili.

　　In the spotlight of traffic, he once felt that "as a teacher who has been sitting in his study for a long time, he will be loved by so many people." However, looking back, in his words, it is "enjoying the blessing of the network and suffering from it".

　　Under the high degree of attention, he strives for perfection, gives lectures well, and constantly innovates, which is why he enjoys it. On the other hand, various invitations and social activities followed, which disrupted the pace of work and took up a lot of reading time. Some activities had to be reluctant or even not good at it. He was troubled by it.

　　For a while, Dai Jianye has been looking forward to and planning his life after retirement: he found a studio by the sea, filled with his own books, made a pot of good tea, tasted some good books, recorded some useful and interesting courses, and wrote some articles worthy of him.

　　He also often recalls most of his life, feeling the plasticity of people and the possibility of life.

　　Dai Jianye University began to learn English only in the first year. After two or three years, he was able to understand English materials and was finally admitted to graduate school with high scores. His method is to read an English article every day and learn 30 words from the English-Chinese Dictionary. Recite during the day and review at night, from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult.

　　But almost to everyone’s surprise, his favorite in high school was math, and his best grades were math. Many years later, he realized that some of the same group of candidates were admitted to Peking University with 270 points, while his college entrance examination score was 289 points.

A small English-Chinese dictionary used by Dai Jianye in college.

　　In the dead of night, he was in a daze occasionally. "If the college entrance examination had not been filled in, maybe he wouldn’t have been in Huazhong Normal University. If he hadn’t been crazy and wanted to be a poet, maybe he would have chosen mathematics. So, if you can choose again, what will he look like now? What are you doing? "

　　Life is full of mistakes. Reading, writing and lecturing are things that Dai Jianye can’t avoid all his life. Among them, the "Putonghua" that runs through most of his life has made a more dramatic turn in his later life.

　　The difficulty of local accent

　　In 1956, Dai Jianye was born in a small mountain village in Macheng, Hubei Province. His father received a good education before liberation, but his mother didn’t know a word. In the expectation and coercion of his father’s ambitious son, he began to read and write at an early age. Although childhood is forced, it has also grown a lot. Later, he changed to live in high school. After being away from his father, he was more self-disciplined than at home.

　　Before the college entrance examination in 1977, Dai Jianye had published many poems and essays in local tabloids. Therefore, he is dead set on becoming a poet. A physics teacher from his alma mater told him that there was a dome building on the campus of China Normal University, which was particularly beautiful. At that time, he had just come out of the country, and he rarely saw buildings, let alone domed houses.

　　With the romantic dream of a teenager, Dai Jianye’s first choice was to fill in the Chinese Department of Huazhong Normal University, then the name of the school was still Huazhong Normal University. After reporting to the headquarters of China Normal University, the first thing he did was to look for the dome-shaped house. A teacher told him that there was a mound on the top of the physics department. He looked at the round mound from a distance and smiled bitterly.

　　At that time, he may not have realized that what is more frustrating than this "round weight" is his "Mandarin".

　　In a class spring outing shortly after entering school, Dai Jianye said "the most beautiful here" as "lè lì? Jimi Li ",repeated several times, no one understood. At that time, I thought it was a joke from my classmates. Later, I learned Pinyin, and he was sure that everyone did not understand.

　　He once said in his speech, "Before I went to college, no one spoke Mandarin to me face to face, and no one taught me to speak Mandarin, and I didn’t even learn Pinyin since I was a child. When I was in primary and secondary schools, all the teachers taught in Macheng dialect, while the math teachers taught in Cantonese Putonghua.

Dai Jianye (first from the right in the back row), graduate tutor Cao Mufan (front) and brother Liu Minghua were photographed in Taihu Lake, Wuxi in 1983.

　　After going to college, Dai Jianye realized that there were still people who couldn’t understand his "Mandarin".

　　Dialect attracts laughter and imitation, which is a great pleasure when he is in a good mood and an embarrassment when he is in a bad mood. In the first class of teaching practice, as soon as he opened his mouth, he read the word "forever" in the title of the text as "ren", and the whole class burst into laughter. Later, in the first lecture after graduation, the student asked for a new teacher. When the school leaders considered transferring him from the teaching post, he was unwilling. "My Mandarin is not good, how can you understand it?"

　　Mandarin is the biggest bottleneck, and he has been trying to get through it all his life.

　　Dai Jianye and Fan Jun, a professor at Huazhong Normal University, have known each other for more than 30 years. When the students were very tired, he was also upset. When Dai Jianye was annoyed, he ran to Fan Jun to chat. The chat lasted for hours, and he was far apart and rambled.

　　In order to learn Mandarin well, Dai Jianye bought a portable radio in the era when tape recorders were not popular, and listened to the radio and practiced reading every day. After a year or two, he became a self-proclaimed "neither donkey nor horse" ‘ Mapo ’ " It is rare to hear students complain that they don’t understand, and he has gradually developed the mantra of "do you understand?"

　　Nowadays, the nonstandard Mandarin has become a distinctive label on him, and some imitation shows about "Dai Jianye accent" on the Internet have emerged one after another, and some have even reached the point of confusing the real with the fake.

　　He once said at a reading conference that it is inevitable that this life will be bumpy and difficult, but he has always been grateful to benefit from this era and many mentors and friends.

Dai Jianye (fifth from the right in the last row) took a group photo with his graduating class.

　　Nature and frankness

　　As a public figure, Dai Jianye’s humor is deeply loved by netizens. He made ancient intellectuals more grounded, and also made crude poems easier to understand.

　　He teased the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty with humorous language: Li Bai was a "romantic fool", and when he got carried away, he felt that he was not a mortal, so he had "Laughing at the sky and going out, are we Artemisia people?" Meng Haoran woke up in the morning, and the first thing he did was to care about "but now I remember the night, the storm, and I wonder how many blossoms were broken."

　　Behind the three-foot platform is decades of profound study and accumulation and confident control of professional knowledge. After Dai Jianye’s ancient poetry class became popular, netizens ridiculed: "This bad old man is very humorous!"

　　Liu Minghua, president of Chongqing University of Chinese Studies, once commented on Dai Jianye in an article: truth, knowledge and truthfulness. He believes that Dai Jianye has a distinct personality and a true personality. Laughing and cursing are all articles. His lectures showed profound academic attainments, and Macheng Mandarin added a little comedy effect. Later, Dai Jianye forwarded it, and he said it was an encouragement.

　　The expression and tone of speech come from nature, and behind the wit, more is actually frankness.

Dai Jianye

　　Dai Jianye said frankly that what he looks like is what he looks like. He likes the truth, and has analyzed himself on many occasions, not only occasionally having "bad" trips, but also often having the idea of "vulgarity".

　　In college, Dai Jianye was obsessed with Russell’s English version of History of Western Philosophy, but he couldn’t buy it anywhere. He lied to the library borrowing teacher that he had lost it, and stubbornly insisted that he couldn’t find it. Although it was only pirated, he couldn’t put it down. After paying a fine of ten times, it has been kept to this day, and every page has been marked.

　　In high school, the teacher asked him to write poems and run a wall newspaper. He copied three poems in one breath and changed some words, but he didn’t expect to be praised by teachers, classmates and even the principal as soon as he posted them. When he was young, he sent these poems to a local newspaper when he was excited. He never thought that the muddled editor actually published them.

　　This move, which was not very "decent" in those days, aroused his dream of becoming a poet. In his words, since then, he has read all his poems with relish, from ancient times to contemporary times, from China to foreign countries. It wasn’t long before I could really write a decent poem.

　　Later, when I was in college, People’s Literature Publishing House published a Zhu Shenghao translation of The Complete Works of Shakespeare. He thought Shakespeare’s English must be more beautiful, and vowed to read through the original. So I saved money through my teeth and bought all Shakespeare’s English collections. But many years later, he said that he still couldn’t understand the beauty of Shakespeare’s original works, so he gave them all away in a fit of pique, leaving only one Shakespeare Sonnets.

　　Now, every time in the dead of night, he still takes out this book from time to time to remind himself: "Dai Jianye used to be an aspiring young man!" "

　　He doesn’t hide, he doesn’t escape, he faces the public with self-mockery, narcissism and introspection, and responds to snooping from all directions. He said that he was not afraid of anything, so he lived happily.

　　For a while, the controversy about "intellectuals earning money and literati’s character" once again pushed Dai Jianye to the public. In an interview, he admitted that the income from manuscript fees has been good for more than 20 years, which can support his wife’s treatment in the hospital. And the sentence "If my wife is gone, what’s the use of my scholar’s character?" He did not say it himself.

Dai Jianye and his wife He Xiaoping

　　On the Lantern Festival in 2020, Dai Jianye’s wife, He Xiaoping, died of lung cancer. After that, he often went to the grave to see her and said, "Xiaoping, I’m coming to see you." Before he finished his tears, he came out.

　　Later, when he gave a lecture on the Internet and talked about Su Dongpo’s "ten years of life and death", he couldn’t help crying. At that time, his wife had died for more than three months. Later, when talking about Nalan Xingde’s sentence, "It was unusual to be a Taoist at that time," he said that at this moment he really understood that Nalan Xingde did not really get out of the grief of losing his wife.

　　Today, 65-year-old Dai Jianye lives alone, cooking alone, reading alone, and lecturing loudly in front of the camera in an empty room. He can use WeChat, play videos, scan files with a machine, upload or download materials through a network disk, sometimes translate a little foreign languages, and spend most of the rest of his time writing.

　　Although he is well-known, he is still immersed in the study of "Knowledge Classification and Classics Classification in Ancient China", and some achievements of this subject "On Knowledge Classification and Classics Classification in Ancient China" were collected and published the year before last. In addition, he is still working on the lyrical research of China’s classical poems, and will also write some essays. He always seems to have endless work to do, and there are always endless things to do.

　　At the end of the interview, Dai Jianye told CCTV that a person’s time and energy are always limited. It is his wish as a university professor to complete academic works and give good lectures, and it is also the greatest value he can bring to this society. He doesn’t want to waste time.

　　As he once said in his book: If we don’t mystify ourselves, the "happy life" we pursue is nothing more than eating our favorite dishes, reading our favorite books, doing our favorite things and loving the people we like.

　editorial comment/note

　　middleIn this magnificent round of "going out to sea", major car companies have chosen different "going out to sea" paths, and all links from products, technology to value chain have begun to build brand advantages of the whole overseas industrial chain. This diversified and differentiated "going out to sea" path, which is different from the single "going out" in the past, shows the overall rise of new energy vehicles in China.

　　China’s new energy vehicles with first-Mover advantage and technology accumulation are welcomed, not only because these products and technologies meet the local market demand, but more importantly, they promote the local popularization and industrial development of new energy vehicles and promote the global green and low-carbon transformation.

　　China car companies "get together" in the Thai market

　　Reporter Wang Teng reports from Bangkok.

　　On the streets of Thailand in 2023, the returning tourists from China and the new energy vehicles from China, which make headlines frequently, are the most topical China elements. Whether it’s Euler’s good cat in the Grand Palace with the same frame, or Haval, the Great Wall at the APEC venue, or it’s queued up overnight to buy it.ATTO3 has given Thai consumers who once "closed their eyes and bought Toyota" in the era of fuel vehicles new choices and expectations.

　　China car companies flood into Thailand market.

　　"China automakers have shown great interest in Thailand and are’ running’ into the new energy vehicle market in Thailand." Kaivalin, deputy general manager of Thailand Kaitai Research Center, said that the market share of Chinese pure electric vehicles is expected to increase from 78% in 2022 to 85% in 2023.

　　In recent years, in addition to SAIC MG, which has been deeply involved in the Thai automobile market for 10 years,China car companies such as BYD and Nezha also went to Thailand to explore the market. According to the Thai Investment Promotion Committee (BOI),It will invest 9.8 billion baht (about 2 billion yuan) to build a new energy automobile factory in Thailand, becoming the next player for China automobile enterprises to invest in Thailand.

　　Behind the acceleration of China’s new energy vehicle enterprises into Thailand, it mainly comes from three important factors: local electric vehicle support policies, industrial factors, historical accumulation and geographical layout.

　　According to the development goal of electric vehicles set by Thailand, electric vehicles will account for 30% of its total automobile production by 2030. To this end, the Thai government has implemented an electric vehicle subsidy plan and preferential tax measures. At present, Thailand has reduced the consumption tax rate of pure electric vehicles from 8% to 2%, and provided subsidies ranging from 70,000 to 150,000 baht according to the types and models of electric vehicles. At the same time, the Thai government has also reduced the road tax and import tariff on electric vehicles to speed up the promotion and popularization of electric vehicles.

　　Since 1990s, Thailand has established the development model of export-oriented automobile industry. According to Zhang zhen, head of Great Wall Motor’s ASEAN regional brand, after years of development, Thailand has become one of the largest automobile markets in Southeast Asia and has a relatively complete automobile industry chain.

　　In addition, Thailand is located in the main road of global shipping, and automobile exports can reach various foreign markets through efficient and convenient sea transportation. Zhang zhen said: "The cars produced by Great Wall Thailand factory now serve the whole ASEAN market, and the factory will become the global passenger car manufacturing base of Great Wall in the future. At present, we have tried to export cars to South Africa, Mauritius and other countries."

　　According to the data of Thailand Automobile Association, the sales volume of pure electric vehicles in Thailand reached 13,454 in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 588.5%. The Kaitai Research Center predicts that the sales of pure electric vehicles in Thailand will hit the 50,000 mark this year.

　　Industrial chain and technology have obvious advantages.

　　In the booming electric vehicle market in Thailand, China car companies have chosen different "rooting" paths. According to BYD, BYD chose to jointly develop the local market with Thai car dealer RêVER Automotive to adapt to consumers’ habits and integrate into the local market more quickly. Great Wall Motor, on the other hand, prefers to fight alone and promote the localization of enterprises in a slow and steady way.

　　No matter what kind of "start-up" is adopted, China car companies have achieved good results in the Thai market. According to the statistics of Great Wall Motor, within 48 hours of the pre-sale of its Euler Good Cat model in Thailand, the order number exceeded 6,000; BYD introduced the first model ATTO3 in Thailand, and in the first four months of this year, it continued to "dominate" the sales champion of pure electric vehicles in Thailand, with a total of 7,285 vehicles.

　　A BYD spokesperson told reporters that China new energy vehicle enterprises have gradually established a technical "moat" after years of accumulation. For example, BYD has mastered the core technologies of the whole industrial chain of batteries, motors and electronic controls, while a series of technologies such as "Easy Sifang" and "Yunqi Intelligent Body Control System" launched one after another are subversive in the industry.

　　At the same time, BYD built its first overseas passenger car factory in Thailand in March this year. The factory is scheduled to be put into operation in 2024, with an annual production capacity of 150,000 new energy vehicles, which will help BYD to further release its production capacity on the basis of technological leadership and meet the consumption needs of Thailand and other ASEAN countries.

　　In Zhang zhen’s view, "new energy and intelligence" are the two advantages and labels of China automobile enterprises. "We not only have updated technology, but also provide a better application experience for Thai consumers." Zhang zhen said.

　　Great Wall Motor officially entered the Thai market in 2021. Before that, there were only a handful of new energy vehicles in the passenger car market in Thailand. "China car companies focus on new energy products in Thailand, which not only makes Thai consumers feel more economical, but also provides consumers with a more comfortable and intelligent driving environment." Zhang zhen said that before, many traditional fuel vehicles on the Thai market were not even equipped with vehicle networking, and intelligence was precisely the advantage of new energy vehicles in China.

　　"On our Haval model, you don’t even need to say turn on the air conditioner. Just complain that it is too hot, and the car will ask you’ Do you need to turn down the air conditioner?’ Zhang zhen said that not only in the aspect of speech semantic recognition, the "transparent service" launched by Great Wall Motor this year has also been favored by many consumers. When users maintain cars, they only need to click on the Great Wall App to see the live picture of the workshop and clearly understand the real-time situation of vehicle maintenance.

　　The competitiveness of China’s automobiles is not the same as in the past. Zhang zhen said that in the past, we always said that we would strive for overtaking in corners. Now, after years of development, China car companies have reached the turning point of real qualitative change, and this trend will become more and more obvious in the future.

　　Facing the future challenges, trying to make mistakes and moving forward.

　　The sales achievements of China’s new energy vehicles in Thailand are gratifying, but it is also a necessary storm for China car companies to "go out to sea" for the current and future challenges.

　　In Zhang zhen’s view, compared with car companies in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, the globalization of new energy car companies in China is still in the learning stage. "How to integrate our products and brand concepts with local culture, and how to localize our talents, culture and supply chain is an important challenge for all China car companies that’ go out to sea’. We have no other shortcuts, only to keep trying and making mistakes."

　　A BYD spokesperson told reporters that in the passenger car market in Thailand, due to the low penetration rate of new energy vehicles and the weak construction of local power infrastructure, the acceptance of new energy vehicles by Thai consumers needs to be improved.

　　By the end of 2022, the number of electric vehicle charging piles in Thailand was only over 900, which were mainly distributed in Bangkok and the economically developed areas in central China. At the same time, the voltage instability in some areas also leads to the limited charging power and prolonged charging time of electric vehicles, which further restricts the car scene of electric vehicle owners.

　　However, the biggest challenge for China car companies in Thailand may mainly come from the competition brought by the western and Japanese and Korean car companies making efforts to manufacture electric vehicles and putting them into the Thai market one after another.

　　According to the analysis of Kaitai Research Center, as the pure electric vehicle market in Thailand is still in its infancy, the number of market participants will continue to increase, and the market is highly dynamic. Although Chinese pure electric vehicles occupy most of the market share at present, it will not be easy for China car companies to defend their titles when other car companies penetrate the pure electric vehicle market in Thailand in the future.

　　Both Tesla, which officially entered the Thai market last year, and Japanese car companies that have mastered the Thai automobile industry chain, dealer channels and upstream and downstream parts suppliers will test the leading edge of China car companies in the pure electric vehicle market in Thailand.

　　"In the past two years, our development in Thailand is more like a microcosm of the globalization of China automobile brands." Zhang zhen said that China car companies want to let foreign consumers know China brand, see China technology and experience China intelligence through different new energy positioning and differentiated marketing methods.

　　New energy vehicles in China sell well in Central Asia.

　　Reporter Zhang Jingpin Cai Guodong Lei Xiaoxiao Comprehensive Report

　　China’s new energy automobile industry has developed rapidly in recent years, gradually becoming a new business card made in China and recognized by overseas consumers.

　　Not long ago, the relevant person in charge of the Eurasian Department of the Ministry of Commerce said that in the first quarter of 2023, China exported 500 million US dollars of automobiles to Central Asian countries, up 121% year-on-year, especially China’s new energy vehicles, which were favored by Central Asian people.

　　Thanks to its superior geographical location and industrial chain development, Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province, located in the west of China, has rapidly developed into a "rising star" on the new energy vehicle track in China in recent years.

　　According to the data, in 2022, the output of new energy vehicles in Xi ‘an reached 1,015,500, up 277.5% year-on-year, accounting for 14.1% of the national share, surpassing 990,000 in Shanghai and becoming the first city in China.

　　In order to meet the automobile export demand of Shaanxi local automobile enterprises, China Railway Xi ‘an Bureau Group Co., Ltd. and Xi ‘an Free Trade Port Construction and Operation Co., Ltd.,Xi ‘an Branch cooperated hand in hand, organized the formulation of special transportation scheme, and adopted the form of special train for commercial vehicles and railway transportation for export transportation.

　　The reporter learned from Xi ‘an Customs that from January to April 2023, the trade between Shaanxi and Central Asia continued to maintain rapid growth, with the import and export value reaching 1.05 billion yuan, up 78.4% over the same period of last year, of which the export of electric vehicles was 130 million yuan, up 125 times.

　　On April 26th, 2023, in Xi ‘an International Port Area, with the sirens blaring, the Xi ‘an-Central Asia special train of Chang ‘an, the 10th anniversary of the "Belt and Road" of China-Europe train, successfully started, carrying more than 260 BYD new energy vehicles made in Xi ‘an to Uzbekistan.

　　According to reports, as of May 16th, China Railway Xi ‘an Bureau Group Co., Ltd. has run 33 special trains for automobile export this year, with an average of 6 trains per month, which has achieved normal transportation, and consumers in Central Asia can buy new energy vehicles in China more quickly and conveniently.

　　Nowadays, walking on the streets of Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, you can often see new energy buses and new energy vehicles made in China. Zafar Khalilov, a citizen of Tashkent, said that the new energy bus in China is of high quality, safe to drive and equipped with air conditioning and facilities for the disabled. "I prefer electric cars, no smell, more stable, faster and more comfortable."

　　According to the data of Uzbekistan’s National Statistical Committee, in the first quarter of this year, Uzbekistan imported 1,668 electric vehicles, an increase of 268% compared with the same period of last year, of which 1,444 electric vehicles were imported from China, accounting for 86.6% of the total imports.

　　Professor Tursunali Kuzyev of Uzbekistan University of Journalism and Mass Communication said that Uzbekistan is the most populous country in Central Asia. Strengthening cooperation with China’s new energy vehicle enterprises will help popularize and promote new energy vehicles, promote green and low-carbon transformation, and further promote the development of the new energy vehicle market in Central Asia.

　　Automobile industry is becoming an important field of cooperation between China and Central Asian countries. Not long ago, Yutong International, a subsidiary of Yutong Group, signed an agreement with Kasjehenna Company of Kazakhstan on "jointly establishing a Kazakhstan-China training center for technical and engineering personnel in the automobile industry", jointly developing talents in the automobile industry with partners in Kazakhstan, and strengthening cooperation and exchange of experience in developing the automobile industry in Kazakhstan.

　　The reporter learned that as early as 2020, 100 Yutong pure electric buses had been exported to Kazakhstan. Up to now, these pure electric buses with a mileage of over 200,000 kilometers have successfully completed the 320-kilometer extreme endurance challenge in the extremely cold environment of -27℃ in Kazakhstan.

　　The overseas person in charge said that Yutong’s development in Kazakhstan has achieved good social benefits thanks to the broad platform provided by the "Belt and Road Initiative". In the future, Yutong will continue to deepen the Kazakhstan market and make new contributions to building a green "Belt and Road".

　　Diversified ways of "going out to sea" for new energy vehicle enterprises

　　Reporter Lei Xiaoxiao reports from Xi ‘an

　　Since 2023, China’s new energy vehicle exports have performed brilliantly. According to data released by the General Administration of Customs of China recently, from January to April this year, the total export value of China was 7.67 trillion yuan, an increase of 10.6% over the same period last year. Among them, in the growth of automobile exports, the export of new energy vehicles has accounted for 31% of passenger car exports. Driven by the strength of new energy vehicles, in the first quarter of this year, China surpassed Japan to become the world’s largest automobile exporter.

　　While handing over eye-catching transcripts, new energy car companies are also accelerating their "going out to sea".

　　According to the relevant person in charge of BYD in Xi ‘an, in May 2021, BYD officially announced the plan of "Passenger Cars Going to Sea", taking Norway as the first pilot market to develop overseas passenger car business. After less than two years of development, BYD’s new energy passenger cars have entered the markets of Japan, Britain, Germany, Australia, Brazil and other countries, with footprints in 43 countries and regions around the world, and the cumulative export of new energy passenger cars has exceeded 60,000.

　　The acceleration of overseas expansion has further improved the performance of enterprises. In 2022, BYD achieved revenue of 434.06 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 96.2%. "From the first car to the 1 millionth car, we spent 13 years; From 1 million to 2 million vehicles, it only took us one year; From 2 million to 3 million, we only spent half a year. " The person in charge said.

　　With the acceleration of global distribution of China automobile enterprises, the way of "going out to sea" is becoming diversified, and all links from products, technology to value chain have certain brand competitiveness. With the technical "moat" established for many years, China automobile enterprises and their related enterprises have begun to build the whole overseas industrial chain.

　　With the acceleration of the export of new energy vehicles, since 2022,Power battery companies such as Yiwei Lithium Energy have also laid out new overseas projects, mostly in Europe and America, where the electric vehicle market is huge.

　　The bright performance of new energy vehicles overseas has also attracted great attention from overseas markets. German Mercator China Research Center (MERICS) previously released a report saying that in the field of new energy vehicles, the EU is rapidly becoming a net consumer made in China, which may subvert the automobile trade pattern between China and Europe.

　　Experts suggest that new energy vehicle companies can actively expand overseas investment and set up factories in Europe and America, which will directly boost local economic growth, solve local employment and build closer economic and trade relations.
