Zhang Xinghai still remembers the scene when he first met Yu Chengdong.

At that meeting, the two exchanged in-depth views on new energy vehicles. Due to the same direction, the cooperation intention of Huawei and Cyrus was finalized after several hours of talks.

Later in public, Mr. Yu said: "What impresses me deeply about him [Zhang Xinghai] is his keen sense of smell and determination."

It was with this exceptional business sense that in the 1980s, Zhang Xinghai made a fortune in Baxian County, under the jurisdiction of Chongqing, by relying on a spring, and went south along the Jialing River and the Yangtze River to do business in Shanghai.

Then, with the pioneering energy of the people of Sichuan and Chongqing, he rushed into the automobile industry regardless of the outside world’s prejudice against traditional manufacturing. After more than 30 years of success in business, he chose the new energy automobile industry three times.

Today, Cyrus cars have been racing forward for 38 years. On February 5, the Cyrus Auto Super Factory was completed and put into operation and the first delivery event of the M9 was held in Chongqing. In this super factory under the "brain of the automobile industry", thousands of new cars are ready to go, and the scene is spectacular.

The Cyrus car represented by Zhang Xinghai has also undergone several important turns in the changing times, and has gradually become what it is now – leaving its own position in China’s new car movement and representing the progress of China’s industrial upgrading.

The following is the true story about Cyrus cars:

Zhang Xinghai’s story begins with a spring.

In the 1980s, Chongqing’s industry developed rapidly, but everyone was held back by a small spring.

Spring is an important component in industrial manufacturing. But in China at that time, spring manufacturing was monopolized by foreign companies, and the price of an imported spring exceeded $1.

Zhang Xinghai, a 23-year-old young man born in Baxian County, Chongqing, smelled of business opportunities. In 1986, Zhang Xinghai and several brothers invested only 8,000 yuan to establish a Phoenix Spring Factory in his hometown, Fenghuang Town, Baxian County, Chongqing, engaged in spring processing of household appliances.

The people around him were not optimistic about Zhang Xinghai’s career, and they all advised him not to waste his efforts. Everyone thought that "China cannot produce a square silk spring with the same performance as foreign countries". But Zhang Xinghai was not convinced and decided to make a high-level spring in Chongqing.

Hard work pays off, and it didn’t take long for Zhang Xinghai to produce a domestic spring with the same performance as an imported spring, but the price was only 1 yuan. After the cost was knocked down, high-quality and cheap domestic springs soon went into marketing activities in Chongqing, replacing local imported springs.

In order to make his own spring have a wider range of application scenarios, Zhang Xinghai took a green train for more than 20 hours to a factory in Jilin for door-to-door promotion and sales.

When the other party saw the spring brought by Zhang Xinghai, his eyes glowed and he shouted, "This is the spring we want." Before he could rub his swollen legs, Zhang Xinghai took the order.

Fenghuang Town has also become the place where Zhang Xinghai made his fortune. The Phoenix Spring Factory has changed from a small tile factory to a large local enterprise with multiple factories.

In the 1990s, Zhang Xinghai became a veritable Chinese "spring king", and he took a spring as an opportunity to enter the field of auto parts. Zhang Xinghai’s shock absorbers have been recognized by a number of manufacturers, including Changan Automobile and Jialing Motorcycle. The products are exported overseas, and a business office has also been established in Vietnam.

The industry of Phoenix Spring Factory is growing, and there are more and more customers for shock absorbers, gradually becoming a leader in China’s segmentation field.

In 2002, Yu’an Group was born.

"Yu" is the abbreviation of Chongqing, which has been divided into independent municipalities. Since Chongqing became a municipality in 1997, its industry has occupied a pivotal position in China. Named after the words "Yu" and "An", it not only means that the company has moved from a township enterprise to a bigger stage, but also means more business exploration in the future.

To some extent, from Baxian township enterprise to Chongqing representative group, it is not only the story of a young man seizing the opportunity of the times, but also the fundamental reason why Sailis was able to "do a line, specialize in a line, become a line", "do a car, specialize in a car, become a popular car".

Yu’an Group soon began a battle for "time".

In the year of the millennium, it is not easy to take the helm of a private enterprise that is not well-off. Chongqing, as an important industrial town in the southwest, is also a famous automobile city. Many companies are entering the vehicle business, and companies that take the train of the times are developing rapidly. Otherwise, if you hesitate, you will quickly fall behind.

Boat against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.

At this time, although Yu’an had entered the field of auto parts supply, under a single business model, the company’s bottleneck was very obvious. "Only making parts, that is relying on others", and entering the whole vehicle became an inevitable choice.

This decision caused an uproar within the company. In the eyes of those who disagreed, automobiles are heavy industry, and if they press the wrong direction, they may fall short. As the absolute leader, Zhang Xinghai has long been dissatisfied with the business of a spring, and finally he still defied public opinion and entered the whole vehicle.

At first, the company chose to enter the motorcycle business. At this time, Chongqing, as the largest motorcycle producer in the country, owns Jialing, Lifan, Zongshen, Wangjiang, Wangjiang Suzuki and other brands. The market saturation competition is fierce, and it is difficult for "novice" Yu’an Group to obtain the market.

Just at this time, Changan Automobile opened up the market with the help of miniature cars, and Dongfeng Automobile began to look for joint ventures across the country to enter related industries. Zhang Xinghai, who sensed the opportunity, immediately decided to cooperate with Dongfeng Automobile, and thus transferred to the automobile track. During this period, Yu’an Group was changed into a more recognizable "well-off stock", echoing the "All People Run for Well-off" in the context of the times.

It was also an opportunity for mutual achievement – Dongfeng Motor, as the economic pillar of Hubei, could not leave Hubei, so it could not join forces with other companies that also shoulder the responsibility of staying in the local area.

In order to promote this cooperation, Xiaokang shares offered enough sincerity and agreed to locate the first phase of the factory in Shiyan, Hubei.

Zhang Xinghai saw it very thoroughly. "The automobile industry has a large investment and a long industrial chain. It cannot be advanced by saying that it can enter. It must have advantages in products, brands, talents and technology. Our joint venture and cooperation with Dongfeng is the integration of the advantages of all parties."

Due to the small reputation of the well-off, even after cooperating with Dongfeng, many people questioned its strength. But Zhang Xinghai did not respond at that time, and it was not until several years later that he publicly stated the situation at that time, "[At that time] I was not optimistic about me, and the more I wanted to do well."

Time gives the answer. In the next 20 years, Dongfeng Xiaokang’s branding impression even far exceeded Dongfeng Fengshen’s own brand.

Figure | On May 13, 2012, Dongfeng Xiaokang 1 million vehicles rolled off the assembly line

With policies such as "cars to the countryside", Dongfeng Xiaokang has firmly captured the market share of mini-cars. In 2009, it ranked among the top three in China’s mini-car industry, with a market share of more than 10% that year.

Dongfeng Xiaokang has become a representative of an era, and its classic bread models have also helped many Chinese small and micro enterprises achieve wealth. Xiaokang shares also listed on class A shares in 2016.

In previous reports, Zhang Xinghai is low-key and simple-looking, and has been called a "sweeping monk".

His actions also reveal that "doing business is not about making more money, but long-term", which is also a portrayal of his entrepreneurship.

In 2016, China regarded the new energy automobile industry as an important pillar industry in the 13th Five-Year Plan. Although the sales of new energy vehicles in that year were 507,000, which was less than a fraction of traditional fuel vehicles, and required huge upfront investment, the market recognition of new energy was not high.

Zhang Xinghai, who saw the future trend, decided to enter the field of new energy vehicles against all odds, and established a new brand "Sailis" to conquer the technology research and development of new energy vehicles.

In order to learn about new energy vehicles, 53-year-old Zhang Xinghai became the first Tesla owner in Chongqing, and also established a research and development institution in the United States to become an innovation pioneer. At one point, he mortgaged 70% of his shares.

These "measures" caused criticism from the industry, and even the company’s share price fell in response. Everyone was really not optimistic about Zhang Xinghai’s decision – at that time, the company did not even have the basic "three electricity" (battery, motor, electronic control) foundation, and there were more than 100 companies competing in the market, and most of the entrepreneurs were young generation.

In comparison, the Cyrus has few "bright spots".

But Zhang Xinghai insisted on his choice. "We are technically poor and afraid, so we must break through the technology blockade." As a witness to China’s economic take-off and the automotive industry, he is all too aware of the humiliating history of domestic traditional manufacturers being suppressed due to technical barriers. Since breaking through the "spring monopoly", he has regarded technology as the core of breaking through.

The layman looks at the facade, the expert looks at the back door.

In January 2019, Xiaokang and Huawei held a comprehensive cooperation signing ceremony. The two sides will further promote cooperation in the field of new energy vehicles and carry out comprehensive cooperation in the fields of industrial Internet, ICT infrastructure, new energy vehicle intelligence, and networking. Subsequently, the two sides jointly launched the AITO series of products, setting a series of industry records.

In 2022, Xiaokang officially renamed itself Cyrus, announcing its full entry into the new energy sector.

If the original cooperation with Dongfeng was for Xiaokang to obtain technical support from the other party, then this cooperation with Huawei shows the profound technical capabilities accumulated in the automotive industry for more than 20 years: such as industry-leading range extension technology, self-developed software and hardware platform technology, and advanced technologies in various fields such as chassis tuning, test platform, and quality control.

In the Sailis Automotive Smart Factory, there are more than 300 intelligent machines in the welding workshop alone to achieve 100% automation of key processes, and some production lines also use laser remote fly welding, which can quickly complete fine welding without contact.

All this was in exchange for Zhang Xinghai’s "smashing pots and selling iron". Even Yu Chengdong admits that Cyrus is "a rare car company that understands the market".

In 2023, Zhang Xinghai and his team traveled to Sichuan and Tibet, covering 2,200 kilometers in 41 hours

In order to pursue the ultimate product experience, in 2023, Zhang Xinghai decided to form a team with his friends as a user and go on a "trip to Sichuan and Tibet" of the Cyrus AITO series and other high-end brand fuel vehicles PK, which finally lasted 41 hours and crossed 2,200 kilometers, all the way to Lhasa.

Through extreme tenacity, Cyrus handed over a satisfactory answer.

Data show that the new AITO M7 jointly developed by Sailis Automobile and Huawei has been continuously breaking records since its launch in September last year, and the cumulative order has exceeded 140,000 units, becoming an industry phenomenon.

In 2023, the highest increase in the share price of Sailis reached 144.81%, ranking among the 100 billion market value, ranking third in the market value of China’s new energy vehicle companies. In addition, since the listing of AITO Q M9 in December 2023, the cumulative value of Dasheng has exceeded 40,000 units.

While Cyrus has achieved success, Zhang Xinghai’s vision is also changing.

"The traditional car manufacturing industry has been monopolized by foreign countries for too long, and the opportunity of new energy vehicles must be seized." At the 2023 two sessions, Zhang Xinghai focused on the transformation and upgrading of China’s automobile industry and high-quality development and gave relevant proposals. He hopes that in the field of new energy vehicles, China can achieve curve overtaking and more excellent enterprises can appear.

Throughout the 38-year entrepreneurial journey, from Phoenix Spring Factory to today’s Sailis Automobile, Zhang Xinghai’s entrepreneurial journey has run through the era of Chinese enterprise development.

Due to its complete experience of this era, Cyrus has become the best example for interpreting an era.

As an important figure in the new forces of car manufacturing, Zhang Xinghai’s introduction cannot be limited to the single dimension of the founder of the car company. As a witness to the 38-year cycle and the changes of Chinese car companies, Zhang Xinghai’s direction has not changed since the 1980s when he broke through the "spring monopoly".

On February 5th, the Sailis Automotive Super Factory held a completion and commissioning event in Chongqing and delivered the first batch of M9 owners.

In Zhang Xinghai’s words, "Cyrus Auto Super Factory is not only the benchmark of Cyrus and Chongqing, but also the benchmark factory in the world!" It is worth mentioning that in the top ten list of luxury brands in the Chinese market in January this year, Cyrus ranked among the top five, second only to traditional luxury car brands BBA and Tesla.

All of this is due to Zhang Xinghai’s initial persistence and Sailis’s adherence to the tenet of "user-centered, wholeheartedly serving users". The AITO Qinjie M9 is now not only the high-end of Sailis, the high-end of Chongqing, but also the high-end model of the world.

It can be predicted that for Zhang Xinghai, Cyrus will not be his end. The industry is developing vigorously, and he will always move forward.

Nowadays, when consumers buy a car, safety configuration is one of the most important considerations, so whether active/passive safety configuration is rich or not will directly affect its popularity. As a medium-sized suv, there are many highlights. Not much to say, let’s take a look.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of the Tiggo 8. The front of the Tiggo 8 adopts a very sharp design and is equipped with a dot matrix mesh, which looks more fashionable. The headlight is very delicate, which is the finishing touch on the front face. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, delayed shutdown and so on. Coming to the side of the car body, the size of the car body is 4700 mm * 1860 mm * 1746 mm. The car adopts round and lovely lines, and the side circumference looks very simple. With large-sized thick-walled tires, it gives people a very solid feeling. In the rear part, the overall shape of the rear echoes the front of the car, and the taillight style is more delicate. The exhaust pipe below adopts the design of bilateral single row, which is very fashionable.

Sitting in the car, the interior of Tiggo 8 looks very simple, which makes people feel very simple and fashionable. The steering wheel of the car is very simple in shape, equipped with functions such as manual steering wheel up and down+front and rear adjustment, and it feels good. Take a look at the central control, with the 10.25-inch touch-sensitive LCD central control screen, which makes the interior style impressive and meets the aesthetic standards of most consumers. The interior feels good. Let’s take a look at the dashboard and seats. The dashboard design is remarkable and the display effect is excellent. The car adopts imitation leather seats, and the seats are wrapped in place, which further improves the comfort of drivers and passengers.

Tiggo 8 is matched with a wet dual clutch (DCT) gearbox, with a maximum power of 115KW and a maximum torque of 230N.m, and its power performance is good.

The car is equipped with driving mode selection, remote control key, rear wiper, traction control (ASR/TCS, etc.), CarPlay support, CarLife support and other configurations, and the configuration performance is relatively good, which improves the convenience of drivers to some extent.

Many people buy SUVs because of their stronger passability. The car is practical and fully equipped, and it is a good helper for home travel. Xiao Bian suggests that your heart is not as good as action, so go to the 4S shop to talk about the discount.

Our society is driven by the most basic gears.

Didi drivers, take-away riders, express delivery staff, cleaning staff, small vendors-these workers’ faces are the people we deal with the most every day.

Submerged in these faces are silent working women.

They are traditional women in China, who swallow the greatest amount of suffering in one gulp and maintain thousands of small families in the wind, frost, rain and snow. They have been given too many roles and heavy labels, but they have never complained about resistance or questioned.

This is the third report in the series "Invisible She: Portrait of Female Laborers", and we have entered the life of rural women.

This article first appeared in WeChat official account’s "That Ng" (ID: Huxiu4Youth), a young content of Tiger Sniffing. Here, we present the faces, stories and attitudes of young people today.

There is a kind of woman who is becoming the object of internet onlookers.

Most of them come from the countryside and have given birth to more than one child. Their only daily life is to take care of the life of the whole family and have an automatic invisible husband.

They are not very old, some of them were born in 1999, and the oldest is born in 1985. They come from underdeveloped areas, such as Northwest China and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

With the popularity of smart phones, they recorded their daily life and sent it to Tik Tok, who was called "Bitter Melon Brigade" by netizens. Some people use their lives to warn girls not to fall in love with their brains, while others advise them to leave toxic marriages and families.

At first, people just had fun. But in the end, you will find that these "pleasures" are all made up of suffering.

?

There is a popular saying among young people: the most vicious curse to a person is to make him a cow of Xiaoying’s family in the next life.

Who is Xiaoying?

She is probably the hottest rural woman in Tik Tok at present, with 2.01 million fans.

Her daily life consists of a few fixed things: cleaning a house that can never be cleaned, feeding a few scrawny scalpers forever, pulling two sallow and emaciated daughters, and taking care of a useless husband who has been "confinement" all the year round.

According to a few words in Xiaoying’s live broadcast, we can know that she was born in 1996, a Yi nationality in Yunnan. At the age of 17, she fell in love with her brain and married her current husband Wang Shifu. Her husband has a more famous name, called "Shanglaru", which means "handsome man" in Yunnan dialect. But reality is like a joke. Her husband, Lalu, is not only a handsome man, but also an ordinary man who drinks too much, is unkempt and has a bad face.

Xiaoying’s more than 500 video works, if you brush them from the beginning, you will find that her life is like a Chaplin black comedy with dubbing.

Her movements are original without thinking, and sometimes there are some funny and playful eggs.

At the beginning of each video, Xiaoying will say "mei ga", which is a modal particle in Yunnan dialect. Next, like reading a running account, she will describe the contents of the video screen, which is nothing more than what farm work she did and what she cooked today.

I don’t know if it’s because of unskilled technology, or Xiaoying doesn’t care at all. The sound and pictures of each of her videos are out of sync. The dubbing is still picking potatoes in the mountains, and the picture has been fried with shredded potatoes in the pot; The dubbing is still thawing the fish, and the fish in the picture is already burning in the pot.

?Famous picture: Xiaoying plays the disc

Her accent is pure Yunnan Mandarin, and the pronunciation of every word is unexpected. For example, pronounce "go" as "gram", "potato" as "gum" and "comb your hair" as "dredge".

The finishing touch is the soundtrack of voiceover. Either the bgm of the weather forecast or bgm’s "Going Home" after class bell has a strange and awkward black humor.

But it is precisely because of this shoddy impression that her comment area has become a paradise for college students. Netizens will also "persuade to escape" at first, but when they find that they can’t persuade them, they begin to tease her and make her into a hot stalk.

Some people also want to play "Xiaoying" in the glory of the king. On some university campuses, there are even leaflets printed with Xiaoying expression packs.

In Xiaoying, there is a sense of absurdity that "all efforts are in vain".

Garbage is like a resurrection point that automatically refreshes every day. Xiaoying bends over to clean the room every day, but the next day, a new dirty room appears automatically. Like rice that chickens can’t eat and noodles that dogs can’t lick, Xiaoying is always trapped in a desperate cycle of cleaning garbage.

Xiaoying loves cleanliness, but she doesn’t know which link has gone wrong. Xiaoying is very diligent and keeps the house in a mess every day.

Netizens have summed up that Xiaoying’s family is most tired of three things: washing machine, oil pollution net and Xiaoying himself.

The old double-drum washing machine is always working in pants, and there are sheets and quilts that can’t be washed at home, but they are always dark and can’t be washed clean; A bottle of greasy dirt can be used by Xiaoying to spray everything, but after wiping it, the home is still greasy; The concrete floor in the house is always dirt and garbage, which is cleaned with a wet mop and turned into clear water and mud.

For the first time, you will see the suffering of the countryside from her; The second time you look at it, you will be amused by Xiaoying’s clumsiness and nonsense; Seeing more and more, you will find that Xiaoying’s life is too abstract, and after people laugh, there are pains from it.

Xiaoying is very kind to her two daughters and cooks almost every day.

Unfortunately, her cooking skills are tricky, and she often makes cooking moves that ordinary people can’t understand.

She brushed the ribs with washing powder, and the sewage from the brush was directly fed to the cows. Live fish can be cooked directly without scaling and viscera removal; Stir-fried pig liver chewed by mice; Every time you boil lettuce, put several pieces of ginger in it; Even eagle-eyed netizens saw the crawling bugs when Xiaoying cut bacon.

Xiaoying’s two children are the least picky eaters in the world. Under Xiaoying’s feeding, she was sallow and emaciated all the year round and suffered from malnutrition.

Xiaoying’s cattle are the worst.

Xiaoying feeds the cow on time every day, even several times, but the old cow looks thinner and thinner, leaving only a skeleton. You can see the expression on the cow’s face. Netizens can’t stand it anymore, and even want animal protection organizations to save Xiaoying’s cattle.

Hungry and not dying, eating and not eating enough-this is the real torture. Cows that have lost their right-angled shoulders, when they wake up every day, are probably thinking "Why am I still alive?".

Xiaoying doesn’t feed the cows with fresh forage, but only some paste made of miscellaneous bran and corn flour. Internet users from all corners of the country are anxious to make suggestions: my family raises cattle, and I will teach you to raise them in this way, and the cows will certainly get fat.

Worst of all, the cow dung in the cowshed is half a meter high, and Xiaoying will trample it down. She did this because she thought it would be warmer for cows to sleep with cow dung on the ground. The netizens who were anxious all over the world taught her: "Cow dung must be shoveled every day. Which animal wants to sleep on its own excrement?"

I can’t imagine how much attention can be paid to such a home if it is handed over to Sister Northeast Rain.

Behind the ironic video, people can’t bear to accuse Xiaoying of not doing housework and farm work well.

In the video, she seldom sits down to rest. She can carry straw and hay several times larger than her body, shovel cow dung from a whole cowshed, and tie her children to her back all the year round when picking potatoes on the mountain. Once she weighed herself, and the number displayed on the scale was 36.8 kg. Netizens commented that this number was only available on the thermometer.

So where’s her husband?

If there is a dress in Shangla, it says such a low-level yellow joke as "recycling girls at a high price".

He spent all day in confinement, restoring a pure image of a lazy man in China. At home, he didn’t lift a finger, playing games with his mobile phone, and he was as calm as a mountain. Even if he occasionally appears in the farmland, he also looks at Xiaoying’s back basket and his hands are empty.

Local netizens in Yunnan often witness Lalu eating and drinking in restaurants on the street, and beer never leaves his hand. On the other hand, Xiaoying’s mother and daughter are three, and several dishes on the dinner table are sparse, and they are sallow and emaciated all day.

People want Xiaoying to earn money and hope that she can escape from this family; People also don’t want Xiaoying to make money, and they are afraid that Lalu will take away her income. However, Xiaoying’s reply makes people laugh and cry even more: if Shanglaru is raising a mistress outside, call her back and do housework with her.

Left: Pull-up with empty hands.

Right: Xiaoying’s injured hand doing farm work.

To what extent do the people hate pulling up?

Pull up like drinking all day, and finally drank himself into pancreatitis, lying in a hospital bed with unbearable pain. Everyone smiled and their mouths were like honey-

"Is there any risk of recovery from this disease?" I hope that pancreatitis can be defeated at an early date.

Some people advised advertisers not to send anything to Xiaoying in the past two months, so that she could not afford to treat Lalu. Some people even want to transfer money to local netizens in Yunnan, so that people can help themselves go to the hospital and pull it up like a big fight. Shangraru’s hospital bed has become a punching point for netizens in Yunnan.

Of course, malice doesn’t happen for no reason. Xiaoying once injured her arm when she was doing farm work. She went to the hospital for treatment alone, only one arm could be used, and she had to look after the children. Now that Lalu is in hospital, Xiaoying has to take care of her children and her grandchildren. Xiaoying, who weighs less than 80 pounds, has only a light bone left.

Perhaps only when Lala is gone will Xiaoying’s life have new possibilities.

If a lover is like watering a flower, then pulling it up is like a bottle of paraquat.

Xiaoying was actually a beautiful Yi girl before she married Shanglaru. When she was 17 years old, she fell in love with her brain. She chose to marry Shanglaru. Now 28 years old, she said in the live broadcast room that two children trapped her and she couldn’t leave the house.

She even wrote and sang a folk song:

"At the beginning, Lalu chased me and said that I would not work, and that I would be supported in my life. Now I can’t finish my work every day."

The bitter life has not changed Xiaoying, who is still kind in essence.

When a fan finds a village to help her work, she cooks a table of food. Although it’s not delicious, it’s a piece of mind that she can take out. There are also netizens who want to let the "explosive makeup artist rabbit" who is very popular recently "explode" Xiaoying, but she also refused, because she felt that this trip was a long way and could not bring any practical benefits to the other party.

In fact, she listened to what the netizen advised her.

She pulled down the asbestos shingles in the old house. Learn to shovel cow dung, re-feed the cows, and feed the cows with brown sugar water. The room for the eldest daughter is the cleanest place in the whole family. She always buys new skirts and headdresses for her two daughters, and even buys a brand-new set for the children to go to bed and get off the table, which is a dream gift for many children.

When she was sitting on the desk, she couldn’t help being in a trance: if Xiaoying had been sitting on the desk at that time, maybe she wouldn’t be living like this now.

She hasn’t been to any school, nor has she been to the outside world. She entered a marriage without any life guidance. Even when helping the eldest daughter with her homework, she almost mispronounced all the pinyin.

Netizens hate iron and steel, and advised her to leave the mountain and take her two daughters to study in the county.

But some situations are not as simple as you and I imagined in big cities. Apart from making videos, Xiaoying may not even have the skills to make a living.

She is optimistic, and at the same time she is a little sober and crazy.

On one occasion, a netizen asked her what the benefits of getting married were in the live broadcast room. She smiled bitterly and replied, "The benefits of marriage are only known to happy people."

On another occasion, she drank too much sweet rice wine and fell asleep in the field. This scene has also become Xiaoying’s famous scene, and many people even took this picture as an expression pack.

In the mountains where she can’t escape, the young girl can only continue to shoot videos, at least this is the fastest way to improve her life.

Now Xiaoying still maintains the habit of loving beauty and is a person who loves life. Her optimism in poverty has a cruel impression.

When moving crops in the field, she will specially stop to compare with the camera; A brand-new mirror is installed at home, and she will smile at herself in the mirror and turn around.

In addition to vlog, Xiaoying will also shoot some videos of herself wearing makeup, wearing skirts and dancing with flowers. Behind them are the mountains and sunshine in Yunnan, which is the most desirable place for the urban middle class and the place where Xiaoying has been trapped for 28 years.

Although the ultraviolet rays on the plateau tanned her and her face was covered with wrinkles because of doing farm work, it can still be seen that Xiaoying is a girl with beautiful facial features.

At this time, everyone realized that Xiaoying was only in her twenties.

?

?

Another 97-year-old girl named Daru lived in a village in Gansu, and netizens joked that she lived a life of "Xin Zhe Ku" (Xin Zhe Ku: the place where guilty slaves served hard labor in Qing Dynasty dramas).

Her life vlog is similar to Xiaoying’s. She has three children and is a full-time housewife. But unlike Xiaoying, her family has strict rules and dogmas and needs to serve her parents-in-law.

At four o’clock every morning, when the northwest sky is still dark, it is as big as getting up.

"As soon as I open my eyes, there are countless things waiting for me"-this is the prologue of one of her videos.

She first added a new charcoal block to the stove, then put on a headscarf and a down jacket, cleaned the fallen leaves in the yard in the night, and then filled them into the kang hole to burn.

Back in the house, it was as big as starting to cook breakfast for the whole family. My parents-in-law want to eat steamed buns and cakes baked every day, so she starts to mix flour, bake cakes, cook porridge and stir-fry every morning, and nothing can go wrong-if she is late for breakfast, "my father-in-law will be angry". My husband’s family will be unhappy if the bun for breakfast remains the same.

As big as living in a separate room with children, it is also a kitchen. At four o’clock in the morning, she rolled noodles on the kang and then cooked with a charcoal stove. And her parents-in-law sleep in another spacious and bright main room with much better conditions. Three meals a day should be prepared in your own room, taken to your in-laws’ room, and then returned to the kitchen to eat with the children.

Left: In-laws’ room

Right: as big as a room with children.

Besides cooking, washing clothes and cleaning, I have to go to the hillside to fill the kang hole with fallen leaves in my back basket, and then make lunch before my father-in-law comes home from worship. The video was speeded up by her, showing only a few seconds. In fact, it took her several hours to sweep the fallen leaves together.

Like Xiaoying’s washing machine, Da Rujia also uses a pair of washing machines with pants. Soak the clothes in water, wash them, spin them dry, and dry them in the air-these actions are repeated constantly, as big as washing them from noon until dark, and taking time to make a lunch for my father-in-law in the middle.

The sun and sky in the northwest are pale, surrounded by dry and yellow, and there is no life for girls standing in it.

When I go back to my parents’ house, Dairu usually smiles. She is the youngest daughter, with her brother, sister-in-law and sister taking care of her, and she can play the coquetry with her parents. But when I get to my husband’s house, it’s as if I’m smiling only when I’m with my children, and she’s just working at other times. Before she got married, she couldn’t cook either, and she was scolded by her husband’s family in the process of learning to cook.

At first, netizens complained about her in the comment area, and some people advised her to escape and live on the pancake craft. Later, when everyone got tired of reading it, they began to leave messages. This is called "Marry a XX man and enjoy the life of a lover". "Before you got married, didn’t their families eat?"

But she seldom complains, because here,All daughter-in-law lead a similar life.

In the video, she said, "In fact, happiness and unhappiness depend on who you meet. As long as the person you are looking for loves you enough and has you in his heart, he will give you enough preferences and exceptions."

Obviously, I didn’t enjoy this preference and exception.

She told in the video that she and her husband got married only once, and the two sides didn’t understand at all. Now that they have been married for several years, their likes and dislikes for each other are still blank, like strangers under the same roof, "because there is no time to sit together and get to know each other."

Even so, they gave birth to two children.

Gansu netizens in the comment area said that in some areas with strict rules, young people are so combined at the request of their parents.

The most frightening thing is not the life as big as a big one, but that her two daughters may repeat her mistakes, from generation to generation, and they will not see the morning sun.

Two months ago, I tried to contact Daru, hoping to visit her home, but she refused me twice in a row.

For the first time, she was afraid that her parents-in-law would be angry if they knew. She said: "I didn’t let my in-laws know that I made the video. My father-in-law has a bad temper. When he says he will turn his face, he thinks it is a shameful thing to make the video, and he is very opposed."

The second time, she was afraid that her identity would cause controversy: "I am afraid that my story will be used by others to attack us. I’m afraid that my life like this is rare, and many people don’t understand it and think it may be a specific constraint. "

Many netizens found that compared with incoherent Xiaoying, Da Ru’s Mandarin was more fluent, his writing level was better, and even the video was cut well. Soon, she received some cooperation orders for domestic skin care products and small household appliances.

Perhaps because she earned money with goods, Dairu’s family status has also improved a little, and she has gained a little freedom in this yard. In the video of the last two months, even the invisible husband appeared, and he occasionally helped Daru do some heavy farm work.

Below one of her hottest videos, she wrote a copy like this:

"The schoolbag is heavy, but it is as light as a feather compared with your future, and the hardships of study and life are always the same."

In the era of short video, these women who were trapped in the mountains and caves all their lives finally tore a tiny hole.

They can see the outside world, and the outside world can see them.

howeverSurvivors in the city, however, covered their heads with a light sentence "Your cognition is worthy of your suffering".

Why didn’t you resist?

Why don’t you get a divorce?

Why didn’t you run away?

Why don’t you study hard?

……

Lu Xun has given the answer. After Nora left, she either degenerated or came back. Because they need money, they need to be able to afford the economic conditions to support 2-3 children. Can they find a job to support their children in today’s society without receiving higher education?

The most painful thing in life is that there is no way to go after waking up. Happy is the dreamer; If you don’t see the way to go, the most important thing is not to wake him.

However, since Nora woke up, it was not easy to return to her dream, so she had to go; But after leaving, sometimes it is inevitable to fall or come back. Otherwise, we have to ask: what did she bring besides her awakened heart? If there is only a scarf with a purple velvet rope like the gentlemen, it is completely useless no matter how wide it is two or three feet. She needs to be richer, and she has something in her bag. To put it bluntly, she needs money.

Dreams are good; Otherwise, money matters.

The word money is ugly, or it will be laughed at by noble gentlemen, but I always feel that people’s comments are not only yesterday and today, but also before and after meals. Anyone who admits that food needs money to buy, but regards money as despicable, if he can press his stomach, he is afraid that there will always be fish in it that has not been digested, and he will have to starve him for a day and then listen to his comments.

Man is the product of the environment.

The suffering of grassroots women is not determined by "cognition", but an objective reality that is hard to change under the shadow of huge structural injustice and historical inheritance discrimination.

They have no chance to form a so-called "cognition" from a feminist perspective. Their economic conditions are not enough for them to form the so-called "subjectivity of female individuals".

Xiaoying and Daru, nicknamed "Bitter Melon Brigade" and "Army of Innovators", share a similar set of lives-

They are "not expected" from birth. Due to the tradition of land distribution, women are "landless" people, and instinct drives generations to fight for a male offspring. Coupled with the ancestral temple system, women are the gender excluded from genealogy and ancestral temples. They have been digesting this intergenerational discrimination since childhood.

Under the lack of education system, they only have basic general education level. It is difficult for them to continue their education, because the opportunity of education will be transferred to the male brothers at home with great probability. At the age when their values have not been established, their parents are the masters and are pushed into the whirlpool of marriage in exchange for bride price and other funds. They give birth prematurely, and they are trapped in the cocoon room between parenting and housework.

Accidentally looking up between heavy work, let them seize the last straw of the short video era, and improve their family’s economic situation by filming their daily lives in exchange for some opportunities to bring goods and broadcast live-and economic behavior is the only way to improve their situation.

Visible to the naked eye, after these rural women have fans on the Internet, the attitudes of their husbands and in-laws have obviously improved, and they have empowered themselves through the Internet to some extent.

Just like her once mysterious husband and husband’s family, in recent videos, she will also help her share the housework actively. Xiaoying’s family’s Lalu has also converged a lot and will go home to help Xiaoying do some work.

Over the years, feminism has become a fashionable luxury among the urban middle class.

However, the threshold for talking about feminism is to go out of second-and third-tier cities, receive higher education, receive logical thinking training, read the Second Sex and more documents, and participate in the discussion of feminist topics.

Some women will use theories and big words to criticize these women who stay in the mountain village and criticize their lack of courage to change their lives.

However, for the parties trapped in the mountain village, theory is the most meaningless thing, which is not as important as two or two rapeseed oils for dinner.

They can only extract feminism from their own lives. Perhaps for them, making more money, giving their children a better life and sending them out to read more books are their feminism.

In the famous documentary "The Way Out", the director spent six years recording children from three classes.

Yuan Hanhan, a Beijing child, can drop out of school at any time, study art, talk about philosophy, study abroad in Europe, practice in Shanghai’s top art galleries, and then start his own art investment company.

Ma Baijuan from Gansu, however, has no teachers who can speak Mandarin. At the age of 12, her biggest dream was to "go to Beijing to go to college when she grows up, then work, earn 1000 yuan every month and buy noodles for her family".

She dropped out of school at the age of 15 because her family thought it useless for girls to study. At the age of 16, she married a distant cousin and compared the size of her pregnant belly with other sisters.

At the end of the scene about her, the elders at home threatened the film crew that if they didn’t pay 20 thousand yuan, they wouldn’t be allowed to follow her again.

Having a daughter means getting married and relying on a son-in-law, which is such a way out-this is still the end faced by most grassroots women in this vast land.

Urban and rural areas are folded too fast, and people blindly accuse them of narrowness, ignorance and weakness. The divided world has been forgotten by too many people, and there are still thousands of women trapped in backward areas, who have no gender awareness, lack of sex education and have little knowledge of fertility.

Xiaoying, dancing with her daughter in the mountain village, has only a washing machine, a few cows and endless weeds and straws in her life. But under the street lamp at night, she is also creating her own tiny freedom.

Below her video comment area, a netizen’s words were sandwiched between thousands of jokes about stalks-

"I dare not laugh at Xiaoying, because that’s how my mother came."

　　[Aika car, new car on the market, original]

　　On August 2, 2019, the highly anticipated (|) + was officially launched.A total of 3 models were launched this time, with a price range of 18.58-22 8,800 yuan.As a leading performance model, the 03 + not only has a very sporty appearance, but also with the support of a 2.0T high-power engine, it has an excellent performance of 5.9s acceleration per 100 kilometers, which is very good in domestic independent brand models.

　

　　Performance-packed exterior design

　　In terms of styling, Lynk & Co 03 + can be seen as the latest interpretation of the design concept of "urban opposition aesthetics". Its most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the sports surround. The designer has added a guide trend on both sides of the front bumper, which can not only sort out the turbulence at the front wheels and optimize the air effect, but also with the slightly protruding front lip below, which proves the identity of its performance car. And almost all blackened color treatment, I believe that with any color of car paint can bring fierce visual effects.

　　The Lynk & Co 03 + is also equipped with a side skirt on the side of the body, and the "+" logo is added to the C-pillar position. With 18-inch two-color multi-spoke wheels, the sporty feeling is greatly enhanced. In addition, the color around the windows, the color of the rearview mirror shell and the color of the door handle of the Lynk & Co 03 + are all black, which is full of performance style. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Lynk & Co 03 + are 4677 (4692)/1840/1461mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2730mm.

　　The tail highlights of the Lynk & Co 03 + are too many. First of all, the "LYNK & CO" logo is embedded between the energy crystal taillights, which has a strong recognition whether it is lit or not. The large-sized rear wing and bottom diffuser are not only sporty, but also bring better aerodynamic performance to the Lynk & Co 03 +. The two-sided exhaust layout has almost become the standard of performance cars. With the support of so many accessories, the Lynk & Co 03 + will have a lower drag coefficient, and the maximum speed downforce has been increased from 11kg to 40kg, which greatly improves the handling stability and performance.

　　Fighting interiors

　　The overall layout of the Lynk & Co 03 + interior has not changed, but if you want to attract performance fans, the visual impact must be done in place. The embellishment of green colors can highlight the sense of sports, and the use of Alcantara materials is not only to look good, but also to provide greater friction when driving intensely. Personally, I think the Lynk & Co 03 + should add some carbon fiber materials to the interior. After all, it is a performance car, and it feels like something is missing without carbon fiber.

　　Spatial performance is fair

　　Powerful power system

　　The Lynk & Co 03 + is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine from Volvo, with a maximum power of 187kW (254Ps) and a maximum torque of 350Nm. It is equipped with BorgWarner’s fifth-generation intelligent four-wheel drive system and an 8-speed automatic transmission, with an acceleration time of 5.9s from 0 to 100km/h. The Lynk & Co 03 + is also equipped with a track mode.

　　[Autohome original test drive] Powerful combination, this is everyone’s favorite scene to see, because there will definitely be a wonderful show next. If the protagonists of the powerful combination are Changan Automobile, Huawei and Ningde Times, it will be a bursting heavenly group. It can be imagined that everyone will be looking forward to what this combination can come up with, and everyone’s attention will be attracted all of a sudden. Could it be too high-profile? Don’t worry, the strong alliance is for this effect of attracting the wind, otherwise how would you notice their first work, this (|).

　　Let’s briefly introduce the background first, Avita, which is a new car company jointly built by Changan, Huawei and Ningde Times, and Avita 11 is the first model of the Avita brand. Although it is a brand new brand, the background is too fierce, it sounds like a big gathering of science students, and it is also a top science student. It has all the mathematics and physics, and it seems that it can get high marks as soon as it is shot.

　　Avita 11 is positioned as a pure electric coupe SUV. The new car is based on the CHN platform. This platform is very easy to understand. In fact, it is the initials of Changan, Huawei and Ningde Times, which means that everyone has contributed. What is more advantageous is that a variety of models can be developed on the same platform. Avita 11 was officially launched on August 8th. In addition to a limited special edition, the new car currently launched a total of 3 car models, priced 34.99-40 9,900 yuan.

　　The next question that many people immediately asked: Where should I go to see this car? The first Avita Experience Center has just opened, in Chongqing, and you can see Avita Experience Center in the top ten cities in the country. The manufacturer’s goal is to open 110. In fact, in terms of retail network, there is basically no need to worry, because Changan and Huawei are among the three giants, and all kinds of avant-garde or traditional experience elements can be played for you.

　　There is another important thing to explain, we have touched the test car, but this is a test car, and it is still a relatively early test car. Last time we have simply driven this batch of cars in the factory’s venue (video below), the large screen of this car and most of the driver assistance systems cannot be experienced, because these functions are not available on it. In addition, in some configurations, the final production car will be adjusted, that is, it will be a little different from the test car we saw today. So next we mainly look at the design, experience the space, and drive the car on the road to briefly feel its dynamic performance.

More exciting videos are available on the Autohome video platform

　　Avita 11 has a very unique design language. In short, you will remember it after seeing it for the first time. The entire silhouette is more like a sculpture.

　　The simple front face design is memorable, and the front face structure outlined by LED light sources looks very sporty. The new split-type headlight group is a popular design element at the moment. The front face of the new car is outlined only by lines, without using too much decoration.

　　From the side, the new car creates a very sporty design style through smooth lines, and the double waist line design and the raised waist line at the tail add a bit of muscle feel. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4880/1970/1601mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2975mm.

　　Not surprisingly, the body of this Avita 11 is arranged with a bunch of sensors, specifically 3 lidar, 6 millimeter wave radar, 13 high definition cameras, 12 ultrasonic radar, a total of 34, the most conspicuous is 3 lidar, the whole layout does not look abrupt, but adds a little technological flavor, the design is quite delicate, in short, this bunch of sensors does not make the whole shape of Avita 11 become riddled with holes.

　　The unique slip-back design features a vertical rear windshield, as well as a rear mechanical lift spoiler. The popular through taillight set also appears on the new car.

　　When it comes to charging, the Ningde era of the three giants should make efforts. First of all, Avita 11 currently has 90kWh and 116kWh capacity battery packs, using ternary lithium batteries, of which 116kWh battery pack energy density is as high as 190Wh/kg. The most lethal is that the first high-voltage ternary system 2.2C fast charging battery in China is the Avita 11, with a charging voltage range of 400V~ 750V.

　　In addition, Avita will jointly build a high-voltage fast charging network with energy company BP. At that time, the power of this high-voltage fast charging network can reach 480kW in a single station, the maximum power of a single gun can reach 240kW, and the battery life can be 200 kilometers in 10 minutes. This network will cover 19 cities in the future, with more than 100 total stations. This is also a great experience. We will definitely bring you the experience as soon as the fast charging network is launched.

　　The wheel design is not particularly personalized, but the momentum is definitely enough, because the size is quite large, the entry model is already 21-inch wheels to start, our test car is still in the trial installation stage, so it is equipped with the top model above the 22-inch wheels, the actual production car should be equipped with 21-inch wheels. In terms of tires, it is equipped with Continental PremiumContact 6 tires, the tire size is 265/40 R22, this tire positioning is not low, it has low rolling resistance and excellent comfort and other characteristics, and it also helps a lot in improving the level of corner control. In addition, the manufacturer introduced this tire to optimize the braking distance in a particularly targeted manner.

The 2023 Hua Chenyu Mars Concert has been announced in three cities – Hangzhou, Chengdu and Wuhan. This year’s "Mars Concert" will still bring the ultimate fusion of music and play, and will also add local characteristics to bring a unique and novel "garden-style" music experience. All four tickets in the Twin Cities are sold out, and the discussion of "Mars Concert" is a hot search on various platforms, once again witnessing Hua Chenyu’s box office appeal.

In the sound of fans’ "encore", Hua Chenyu announced that the Hangzhou station will be added on April 7 and the Chengdu station will be added on May 2, and announced that the Hangzhou station (April 7) will open for pre-sale on March 26. So far, the "Mars Concert" has been held in Haikou Wuyuanhe Stadium (four-sided platform) in 2019, Haikou Changying Global 100 Fantasy Park in 2021, and Hangzhou station and Chengdu station in 2023. Hua Chenyu will also become the only mainland singer to hold three consecutive days of concerts in Haikou, Hangzhou and Chengdu.

For a long time, Hua Chenyu and the Mars concert team have welcomed every Martian home with the utmost sincerity at all costs, insisting that the ticket price does not increase for ten years, the top stage beauty has a long standby time, and one ticket can enjoy two performances of "afternoon show + evening show". The performance duration is not less than 240 minutes, and there are no less than 30 songs per day. Martians can freely choose the way they like to experience the performance. There are also new songs, interactive patterns, romantic streamers and other rotating surprises, so that everyone can immerse themselves in the world of music, eat and drink, and feel the great mountains and rivers of the motherland. And every Martian also gives the "Mars team" a sense of security with the most practical response. Tickets for the Mars Concert in Hangzhou and Chengdu are still in short supply after two consecutive days, which is enough to show everyone’s unswerving expectations for the "Mars Concert". Recently, the organizers announced that the Hangzhou and Chengdu stations will be open for three consecutive days, and the first concert will be advanced to April 7, quietly advancing the pace of the "Mars Spring Season". This move not only tries to meet the expectations of the Martians, but also shows the extraordinary confidence of the Mars team.

The warm spring sun illuminates the pace of "Mars Concert" dream building. With the approaching performance of Hangzhou Station (April 7th & 8th & 9th), the "Mars Behind-the-Scenes Team" has been in Hangzhou Baima Lake Park for nearly a month in advance. Several large trucks with banners of "Mars Concert" slowly drove into the venue. A fantasy Mars paradise will soon be built on this empty land full of thoughts and expectations, and I look forward to every Martian with sincerity returning home. There are also local netizens who warm their hearts every day to post the real-time progress of Mars construction and witness the grand scene of "rising from the ground". The huge silver ring building draws the fairy tale of Mars in their hearts, evoking countless beautiful imaginations. Fans have expressed that this scene is full of a sense of belonging and security! Many fans have started to prepare the red "war robe" when they "go home", or the real-name squatting concert band rehearses the bed-the-scene, and prepares for the "Mars Spring Tour" early.

The third stop of this year’s "Mars Spring outing season" is Hua Chenyu’s hometown of Wuhan, Hubei. Ten years ago, he set out from here with a musical dream for more people to see. Ten years later, he brought the same passion and led tens of thousands of "Martians" home, bringing another layer of romance to this reunion. Looking forward to the pre-sale of the "Mars Concert" Hangzhou Station (April 7), Chengdu Station (May 2), and Wuhan Station (May 27/28), every Martian can go home smoothly!

　　Cailian | New Consumer Daily March 16th (edited by Liang Youyun), around the annual "315 Consumer Rights Day", food safety has once again become a hot spot affecting people’s hearts.

　　Compared with traditional restaurants, new brands of tea and chain coffee have sprung up in recent years, and a cup of milk tea and coffee every day has become the daily life of many young urban white-collar workers. Marketing activities and ridicule such as "the first cup of milk tea in autumn" and "coffee for life" have influenced many consumers’ choices.

　　However, as a ready-made beverage, it is very easy to cause food safety problems in case of insufficient service training, irregular production process, inadequate hygiene and safety in stores, and disorderly supervision of franchise stores.

　　The New Consumer Daily collected and sorted out some "coffee and milk tea troubles" that have been exposed by relevant departments and hotly debated by netizens since 2022.

　　Drinking foreign bodies became the most common complaint.

　　"Drinking bugs in XXX", "Eating stones in XX" and "Finding hair in the package" have become the most frequently complained topics of netizens.

　　Black cat complaints search "foreign body" keywords, showing that the number of complaints as many as 33 thousand. Among them, brands such as Mi Xue Bing Cheng, Naixue Tea, Youlemei, Gu Ming Tea and Auntie in Shanghai have all received complaints from consumers about eating foreign objects in the past month.

　　Judging from the frequency of appearance, Mi Xue Ice City has become a "frequent visitor" on the list. Eating stones, finding hair in unopened drinks, black unidentified objects and sharp plastic thorns have all become complaints. On the platform, there are 4,820 complaints about Mi Xue Ice City, which is much higher than 1,431 complaints from aunts in Shanghai, 1,361 complaints about Naixue’s tea, 965 complaints about hi tea and 675 complaints about ancient tea.

　　On the whole, although brands such as Naixue Tea and Xicha, which are mainly self-operated stores, also have food hygiene complaints, from the data point of view, brand stores which are mainly franchised are more likely to be complained about foreign objects. With the more stores nationwide, there is a risk that the management control of the parent company will decline, and complaints will increase accordingly.

　　Brands should actively do a good job of self-inspection, eliminate potential safety hazards caused by irregular operation, and actively cooperate with relevant departments to check and rectify in time when signs are found. In this way, we can continue to retain consumers and enhance brand influence.

　　However, it must be pointed out that in many food safety complaints, it is true that some people maliciously add foreign objects to drinks to blackmail brands in order to obtain compensation.

　　Store health problems have become the focus of investigation.

　　According to the data from the General Administration of Market Supervision, there is a positive correlation between the number of complaints about consumption and the level of consumption activity. While the brand is actively doing business, it should also focus on health issues.

　　Store hygiene has always been the "hardest hit" in the catering industry. Unscrupulous merchants often use the kitchen or under the counter that consumers can’t see to hide their real environmental hygiene, food shelf life and irregular production. Milk tea, coffee and other products that need to add fresh fruit and fresh milk are also frequently notified and punished.

　　In 2021, Yihetang Store was exposed that the clerk did not apply for a health certificate, and many cockroaches were found in the food processing area. In mid-2022, another investigator found that Yihetang milk tea had food safety hazards such as the continued use of expired ingredients and the peeling of fruits by shop assistants. At the beginning of 2023, another customer reported through video that he had drunk foreign substances in Yihetang milk tea, which led customers to seek medical treatment for acute gastroenteritis.

　　In 2022, Starbucks, a well-known chain coffee brand, was also fined 10,000 yuan for expired food and altered shelf life.

　　On the eve of "315", according to WeChat official account of Beijing Consumers Association, Beijing Hemao Catering Co., Ltd. (signboard: Mi Xue Bing Cheng) was given an administrative warning and ordered to suspend business for rectification because it dismantled the disinfection pool of tools and appliances without authorization. This is the third time that the brand has received a warning and punishment from Beijing State Administration for Market Regulation in the past two years.

　　The use of expired raw materials, problem fruits, etc. seems to be a chronic disease in the industry, and it is often difficult for innocent consumers to prove that they are lucky enough not to eat anything different. Only when the parent company of the brand establishes an efficient management system and the market supervision and management department increases the density of attention and inspection can the irregular store operation be effectively deterred.

　　Food additives have sparked heated discussions.

　　The short video blogger’s phrase "technology and hard work" touched the nerves of many consumers. At present, many people often focus on the preservatives and flavors of bottled drinks, but the freshly made tea and coffee that can’t see the ingredient list should also be paid attention to.

　　As China’s food safety law only stipulates that there should be a label on the packaging in prepackaged foods, and the label must indicate the ingredients or ingredient list. However, in the face of the rapid rise of the labels and ingredients of ready-made drinks such as milk tea and coffee, there is no explicit requirement for labeling, and it is entirely up to the self-discipline of merchants.

　　Do you use real milk? Is it boiled with real tea? What is "0 candy"? What is the caffeine and sugar content of each drink? These problems often appear in the process of customer consumption.

　　In order to maintain the taste and reduce the production cost, beverages often use creamer, non-dairy creamer and other raw materials. Is it reasonable to add them? Is it harmful to human health? Become the hot topic of netizens.

　　At present, the deputies of Sichuan Provincial People’s Congress have proposed to amend and improve the Food Safety Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and increase the mandatory requirement of labeling the drinks that are now made and sold. At the same time, referring to the national food safety standards "General Rules for Labeling in prepackaged foods" and "General Rules for Nutrition Labeling in prepackaged foods", the labels of the drinks that are now made and sold should indicate the specific contents of energy, core nutrients and other nutrients such as sugar and vitamins and their percentage in nutrient reference values (NRV).

　　Drinks are also "short of two pounds"?

　　In addition to food safety, the "shrinking" of beverages has also become a topic of concern to netizens recently.

　　On the eve of 315, Rui Xing and Modern China Tea Shop were spat in succession. Among them, Luckin Coffee has only half a cup left in the cup after ice removal; In Modern China Tea Shop, after the milk foam melts, there are only two-thirds of the drinks left in the cup. In this regard, the response of the above two brands is similar, that is, the drinks in the store are made according to the standard process, and the reduction of drinks is normal.

　　The New Consumer Daily observed that in addition to the above two brands, many milk tea brands have noted in the delivery that there is a lack of ice or some ingredients after removal.

　　According to people in the industry, the way to remove ice is to shake the ice cubes with a full cup of beverage, and then filter the ice cubes after the beverage cools down, so there will be some defects in the final product. Regarding the problem that there is no shortage of drinks, the person said that in order to ensure a unified taste, the amount of ice is different, and the proportion of raw materials for drinks will be different. Previously, shop assistants would make their own supplements, but in recent years, due to the increasingly strict in-store monitoring, shop assistants must make them according to the process, and dissatisfaction with cups has become the norm.

　　Some lawyers have warned that this behavior may constitute fraud. Although there is no subjective malice and concealment of the brand, a big difference can still constitute the essence of short weight. Consumers can complain and report to 12315, or file a lawsuit. After the fraud is determined, they can claim triple compensation, starting from 500 yuan.

"During the period when I didn’t open the door, I opened my eyes every day for money, and it cost 40,000 to 50,000 a month. It was too anxious." After finally reopening in late April, Boss Li of Pingcheng Boutique Fruit Store in Jing’an District, Shanghai, he faced a new challenge: opening takeout for the first time and learning to operate online from scratch.

At present, in accordance with the principle of "orderly liberalization, limited flow, effective control, and classified management", how can small and medium-sized merchants who resume business and resume market in stages speed up recovery, reduce pressure, and better "touch the net" development? In this regard, on May 22, Ele.me announced the launch of the "Resonance Plan" for the merchant market, hoping to support merchants and help riders, and do its best to better serve the public, add vitality to the market, and fully support the recovery.

Incentive subsidies + fee reductions, "resonance plan" focuses on merchant pain points

Since this round of epidemic in Shanghai, Ele.me has fully invested in anti-epidemic supply and vigorously supported citizens’ living security and emergency needs. Ele.me has tens of thousands of riders shuttling through the streets and alleys to deliver fresh vegetables, living expenses, urgent medicines and other materials to the city’s communities.

Among them, Ele.me "All-round Supermarket" ensures the safety of parity and distribution through the service model of "community collection + fixed-point distribution". Since it started operation on March 28, it has distributed necessities such as meat, eggs, milk and rice noodles grains and oil to hundreds of thousands of families; in response to the dining needs of the public, Ele.me and Shanghai fixed-point catering merchants have increased transportation capacity investment and community coverage in the way of "community group meals", and delivered tens of thousands of group buying meals in time every day; in the face of the public’s drug demand, Ele.me has also launched a variety of new modes of drug delivery, including community group buying medical materials for epidemic prevention, "community collection + centralized distribution", and also cooperated with hospitals to "emergency drug delivery special car", etc., to continuously increase supply At the end of April, the average daily delivery of medicines exceeded 100,000 orders.

As Shanghai accelerates the pace of business resumption, Ele.me launched a special project relief plan to fully support the recovery of Shanghai merchants.

During the epidemic, business operations have been affected to varying degrees. At present, in the market recovery stage, many businesses are facing pressure such as liquidity and market investment. The "Resonance Plan" of Ele.me includes four measures: provide 500 million yuan incentive within two months after the lifting of the ban to reduce business operating costs; provide special project fee reduction subsidies to ease financial pressure; provide special mentoring training and digital support to improve business operation capabilities; provide riders with nearly 70 million yuan in additional subsidies to enhance employment security.

According to the introduction, the first batch of 500 million yuan incentive subsidies of the "resonance plan" will provide over 200 million yuan to merchants, including order subsidies and incentives, distribution cost subsidies, marketing cost subsidies and special project traffic support; about 300 million yuan will also be invested to distribute consumption red envelope coupons to citizens, provide project special membership discounts, etc., and will also extend the food card that cannot be used under objective conditions and compensate for food beans, so that merchants with high-quality service and honest management can increase revenue more quickly and effectively.

At the same time, in order to ease the financial pressure of merchants, Ele.me and the Financial Institution Group provide discounted loans of varying amounts and up to 500,000 yuan for eligible merchants, hoping to help merchants reduce the burden of opening after the epidemic.

In addition to subsidies, there are fee reductions. Ele.me provides a "green channel" for merchants, which can launch takeaway business within 1 hour at the soonest. In addition, newly opened online and eligible high-quality catering merchants will be given a rate discount of up to 5%; eligible retailers such as general merchandise and fresh fruits can also get a certain rate discount.

Ele.me will also enhance the digital operation ability of merchants through special service and special project training.

For riders, the first phase of Ele.me will provide an additional about 70 million yuan for order incentives and epidemic prevention subsidies, and will also set up more smart dining cabinets and "1 square meter warm rider station" to stabilize employment and improve security.

Community merchants receive traffic support and look forward to business resuming as soon as possible

Su Xiaoliu is a favorite dim sum shop in Shanghai. To overcome the pressure in this round of epidemic, he joined the guarantee supply on April 16. After the Ele.me platform resumed online, he obtained the platform traffic support in time.

Xuhui ITC store is one of the first three stores to resume supply, and the launch of same-day takeout is "order surge". To this end, Ele.me also helps to adjust the capacity allocation, provide distribution cost subsidies, and strengthen the guarantee of logistics performance.

"During this time, we sold more than 10,000 copies in a single store." Mr. Sheng, the operation manager of Su Xiaolu, told the author that from the background data, the various support effects of the platform are very obvious.

Heisei Boutique Fruit Store is also one of the beneficiaries of Ele.me’s support measures.

On April 20, the fruit store, which had been closed for more than a month, reopened. Previously, this store only had offline retail. During the closure and control period, Mr. Li realized the importance of takeaway, and the owner applied to open a store in Ele.me as soon as possible after opening. Soon under the green channel of the platform, the fruit store launched takeaway services.

"My parents distribute goods in the store, and I buy and receive orders at home. We are relatively affordable, and on the first day we went online, there were hundreds of orders." Mr. Li introduced that in order to strictly prevent the epidemic, the door will only be opened when there is an order. One door and one disinfection will be opened hundreds of times a day.

As a novice in takeout, he had never handled so many takeout orders. He learned a lot of free Ele.me tutorials online, optimized the operation and delivery method, and the takeout store quickly hit the right track.

Recently, his fruit store also received traffic support from Ele.me. "After going online for takeout, we have income, and we are finally relieved. With orders, we have living water, and we can survive. The order incentives, price-break discounts subsidies, and especially traffic support and marketing subsidies launched by the platform are all real needs for us."

After the launch of the "Resonance Plan", many merchants said that with the support of the food delivery platform, they can ease the anxiety of survival to a certain extent, and measures such as order incentives and subsidies can also effectively reduce costs and ease the pressure on funds. Ele.me said that further plans are still being formulated to provide greater support and jointly accelerate the market recovery. "We expect the fireworks in the market to continue as usual, and all business partners and the familiar Shanghai will get better and better."

Government and enterprises work together to bail out, and "fireworks" will return as soon as possible

"Shanghai’s current epidemic situation is generally stable and improving", this sentence at the press conference, the public began to feel: the rail transit bus gradually resumed operation, the park classification opened step by step, some downtown shopping malls have been unblocked to welcome guests, Moments posted more and more "return to work electronic pass", and even takeaway no longer needs group buying, even if one person, Blue Knight can be sent to the community.

Shanghai has been looking forward to the "fireworks" for two months, and it is slowly approaching you and me step by step.

According to the current schedule, commercial outlets should resume offline business in an orderly manner, and "online ordering, offline delivery" should be implemented. The catering industry should also implement services such as "online order, takeaway home"… Since the home epidemic prevention, the consumption habits of Shanghai citizens have also been slowly changing, and the consumption proportion of takeaway orders has become higher and higher. As an indispensable part of the city’s operation, takeaway has always tried its best to better serve the citizens.

However, we must also be aware that the social and economic impact of the epidemic will not disappear completely with the "lifting of the seal".

Faced with challenges in liquidity, service manpower, and material supply, some merchants may usher in "darkness before dawn". Due to the long-term closure and no income, the liquidity of closed merchants, especially small and medium-sized merchants, husband and wife stores, is difficult. At the same time, factors such as rent store expenses, labor costs, and labor return are also under great pressure. There are also challenges in supply and logistics supply chain.

How to retain the "fireworks" in the life of Shanghai? All parties in Shanghai are actively working hard. In the process of resuming business and the market, merchants and platforms cannot do without "gathering sand into a tower" and watching each other.

In order to reduce the losses of the epidemic to merchants, Ele.me has launched an emergency "shutdown protection" mechanism in Shanghai. Platform merchants that have suspended business due to the epidemic can open it independently, lock in monthly sales, scoring, etc., and remain unchanged during the shutdown period to ensure that merchants can quickly return to normal business after the lockdown is lifted. For problems such as the difficulty of temporarily recruiting workers in small stores, Ele.me also sets up a special channel in the background of merchants to help solve them.

At the same time, the business support plan pioneered by Ele.me is not limited to short-term assistance measures. It effectively targets the pain points of merchants, reduces the pressure of merchants, accelerates recovery, and overcomes difficulties together. It also helps merchants to go online and digital transformation as soon as possible, and truly "give it a fish".

At present, many merchants in Shanghai have switched from store retail to online takeout on the platform. While maintaining operations to generate income, it is also conducive to epidemic prevention and safety. In the stage of resumption of business and market recovery, effectively supporting merchants to "touch the Internet" will also help promote economic recovery.

For example, in order to reduce the impact of the epidemic, Ele.me provides merchants with a "green channel" to launch takeaway business within 1 hour at the soonest. In addition to special project incentives and traffic support, the "Resonance Plan" also enhances the digital operation capabilities of merchants through special service and special project training, including arranging a special project service team of more than 300 people to optimize the operation of targeted services merchants; providing nearly 2,000 hours of free open courses for merchants to conduct free takeaway operator training and certification services; supermarkets, convenience stores, fresh fruit, medicine and other merchants will receive intelligent diagnosis, management and marketing suggestions for goods, and the AI dish analysis system "Hungry Xiaowei" will also help catering brands develop new products for free.

Improving digital capabilities for the future and enabling businesses to achieve sustainable development may also become a "way to break the bottleneck" in the development of retail industries such as catering.

Of course, the full recovery of market economic vitality requires the participation of the whole industry and strong policy support.

Shanghai has issued the "21 Anti-Epidemic Helping Enterprises" policy, comprehensively implementing measures such as tax reduction and fee reduction, rent reduction and exemption, financial subsidies, financial support, and assistance to enterprises to stabilize jobs. At least 32 departments and 16 districts have issued supporting implementation rules. Relevant functional areas of business can join hands with the Internet platform and public service platform integration, support merchants’ liquidity, human employment, material supply, and stimulate consumption, etc., give full play to the greater role of the Internet platform in "urban services", and provide targeted services such as policy publicity, appeal coordination, and guidance and consultation for small and medium-sized businesses to resume work and production, and resume business and return to the market through a combination of online and offline methods.

At present, the epidemic prevention and control situation in Shanghai is generally stable and improving, and it is entering the transformation stage of normalization prevention and control. The fireworks on the street will also be restored to its previous vitality under the joint efforts of all parties.
