  Core reading

  Recently, the Ministry of Commerce, together with the Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other 16 departments, issued the "Several Measures on Invigorating Automobile Circulation and Expanding Automobile Consumption" (hereinafter referred to as "Several Measures"), proposing "supporting the large-scale development of used car circulation, and strictly implementing the policy of completely canceling the restrictions on the movement of used cars in various regions". What is the background for the "Several Measures" to cancel the policy of restricting the movement of used cars? What new measures are there to accelerate the active second-hand car market? The reporter interviewed the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce.

  Second-hand cars will further realize free circulation throughout the country.

  Restricting the removal of used cars has always been a prominent problem that restricts the construction of a unified national automobile market. In the past few years, the State Council has deployed many times, and relevant departments and localities have conscientiously implemented it, and continued to promote the cancellation of the policy of restricting the movement of used cars, and achieved positive results.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, some enterprises and the masses have reported that since the implementation of the national sixth emission standard for new cars nationwide, a few places have "added policy" to used cars, requiring foreign countries to transfer used cars to meet the national sixth emission standard, and vehicles with national fifth emission standards are not allowed to move in. At the same time, there are still some places that violate the existing regulations of the state and restrict the movement of used cars that meet the emission standards of in-use cars, which hinders the free circulation of used cars across regions, restricts the operation of enterprises and inhibits the automobile consumption demand of the masses, which has been strongly reflected by all parties.

  In order to solve these problems, in May, the State Council issued a "package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy", which clearly required that the policy of restricting the movement of used cars be completely abolished. The "Several Measures" have further refined and implemented this to ensure that this measure will be effective as soon as possible. The first is to clarify the scope requirements. That is to say, it is required to implement this policy nationwide, including key areas for air pollution prevention and control, and promote the free circulation of used cars that meet the national five emission standards. The second is to clarify the time requirements. In a few areas, the policy of lifting the restriction on relocation has made slow progress. In order to ensure that this measure will be effective as soon as possible, it is further clarified that this measure will be fully implemented from August 1 this year.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, according to the analysis of relevant institutions, at present, the flow of used cars in China generally presents a regional feature from first-and second-tier cities to third-and fourth-tier cities. After the removal restriction policy is completely abolished, used cars will further realize the free circulation throughout the country, promote the rich supply of automobile products in various places, enhance the adaptability between supply and demand, better meet the demand for automobile consumption, satisfy people’s yearning for a better life, and achieve good economic and social benefits.

  The person in charge said that the Ministry of Commerce will closely follow the progress of the implementation of local policies with relevant departments, do a good job of supervision and inspection, and ensure that the policies are fully implemented and effective as soon as possible.

  Thoroughly get through the difficulties in the circulation of used cars.

  Used cars are an important link in the whole life cycle of automobiles. Invigorating the circulation of used cars can revitalize the stock of cars and increase the consumption of new cars, which plays a very important role in promoting the consumption of cars.

  China’s car ownership has exceeded 300 million, ranking first in the world. After the car ownership reaches a certain level, the second-hand car market begins to increase in volume, which is the universal law of automobile consumption in the world. In 2021, China’s second-hand car trading volume reached 17.59 million, less than 6% of the car ownership, far below the proportion of the international mature car market. The problems of cross-regional restrictions on the movement of second-hand cars, unclear commodity attributes, and limited distribution business have seriously hindered the development of the second-hand car market.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, on the basis of systematic combing and extensive investigation, the Ministry of Commerce has put forward a series of measures to comprehensively develop the circulation of used cars, hoping to completely break through the difficulties in the circulation of used cars, so that used cars can gradually standardize transactions, circulate freely and consume with confidence like new cars. These measures cover almost all aspects and fields of second-hand car circulation, from the registration of market entities to filing, to the accounting treatment and invoice issuance of second-hand cars, and then to the cross-regional circulation and transfer registration of vehicles. In addition to the total cancellation of the relocation restriction policy, the "Several Measures" also includes the following aspects — —

  Support the development of distribution business and promote scale development. Enterprise distribution mode is the main circulation channel of the mature international used car market, accounting for about 70%. China’s used car market is dominated by the "broker+individual" model, and the problem of "small and weak" in the industry is prominent. To this end, the "Several Measures" require the abolition of unreasonable restrictions on the development of second-hand car distribution, and it is clear that enterprises with registered residences and business premises outside the second-hand car trading market can carry out second-hand car sales business. At the same time, because natural persons can’t issue sales invoices to the purchasing enterprises as sellers when selling used cars, in order to facilitate the people to sell cars and business operations, used car enterprises are allowed to issue invoices as buyers, that is, "reverse invoicing", and handle the transfer registration procedures accordingly.

  Optimize transaction registration management and promote efficient circulation. The "Several Measures" clarify that the second-hand cars distributed by enterprises should be accounted for as "inventory goods" like new cars, and a separate endorsement should be made when the vehicles are transferred and registered, and a temporary number plate should be issued, which greatly optimizes the transaction registration process; For cities where automobile purchases are restricted, it is clear that the second-hand cars purchased by automobile sales enterprises and used for sales do not occupy the number plate index, further reducing the operating costs of enterprises and facilitating the circulation of second-hand car transactions.

  Promote the professional, large-scale and standardized development of used car circulation

  The "Several Measures" proposes to restrict natural persons from selling three or more used cars that have been held for less than one year in a natural year. In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said that this measure is more specific, but it plays an important role in promoting the professional, large-scale and standardized development of used car circulation.

  This policy meets the needs of the development of used car circulation and the demands of the industry. According to the current regulations, individuals do not have to pay value-added tax when selling used cars, and they are tax-free. However, the distribution enterprises should levy value-added tax according to a certain proportion of sales when selling used cars. For this reason, some second-hand car distribution enterprises carry out second-hand car distribution business in the name of brokers, and trade the vehicles under the name of individuals, resulting in the phenomenon of individual "backtracking". At present, the circulation of second-hand cars in China is dominated by "brokers+individuals", which leads to the "small and weak" industry, and has a negative impact on society, resulting in unfair competition, as well as many transaction disputes, which has dampened consumer confidence and become a drawback of the industry. The industry calls for effective policies to effectively regulate this phenomenon.

  This measure also draws lessons from the experience of the mature international automobile market. The Ministry of Commerce has fully investigated the management of second-hand car circulation in developed countries. The circulation of second-hand car transactions in developed countries is very common and there are many mature experiences and practices. For example, if an individual sells a certain number of used cars within a certain period of time, he is recognized as a used car dealer. At this time, he can no longer trade in his own name, and must pay taxes according to law. He must express his car condition information to the next distribution enterprise and consumers, and he must also bear the responsibility of quality assurance. The Ministry of Commerce also draws lessons from these international advanced practices.

  This measure will not affect the normal car sales behavior of the majority of car owners. The starting point of this measure is to eliminate the phenomenon of individual "back-selling" and will not affect individual car sales. The number of cars in China has exceeded 300 million, and the number of individual owners is 215 million. Among the 215 million car owners, there are about 2 million car owners who own more than three or more cars. The Ministry of Commerce has conducted in-depth research. Among these 2 million car owners, it is rare to sell more than three cars that have been held for less than one year in one year. Therefore, this measure will not affect the normal car sales behavior of individuals. At the same time, this measure also reserved a half-year transition period, which also reserved sufficient time for reasonably guiding market expectations and ensuring a smooth transition of policies.

Second, the analysis of the reasons for the popularity

1. Beijing Winter Olympics ignites the enthusiasm of the masses for ice and snow sports.

The successful hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics has greatly promoted people’s love for ice and snow sports. Thanks to the charm of all kinds of ice and snow sports in the Winter Olympics, skiing, curling and other ice and snow sports are no longer limited to northern cities, and ice and snow sports and ice and snow culture have also been enthusiastically sought after by young people in the south. The atmosphere of ice and snow sports in Harbin, the "Ice City", is extremely hot. It has not only hosted many winter sports games with world influence, but also has the largest outdoor ice rink in Asia and other excellent sports environment, and its tourism resources and service quality are guaranteed by word of mouth. According to relevant data, Harbin Ice and Snow World not only ranked first in ice and snow attractions during the New Year holiday, but also ranked among the top three national hot spots on the first day of the holiday. The winter of 2023 is the first complete ice and snow season in the post-Winter Olympics era, and the charm of ice and snow sports is fully displayed in Harbin.

2. Northeast characteristic culture is closely combined with high-quality tourism resources.

Harbin, as a typical city in Northeast China, on the one hand, has a prominent culture in Northeast China. After winter, the theme of ice sculpture, world of ice and snow is distinctive, which is attractive to people who have lived in the south for a long time. Its unique entertainment culture in Northeast China, such as bathing culture integrating bathing and rubbing, restaurant buffet, games and steaming sauna, and catering culture focusing on northeast specialties, has also become another important project that must be experienced to attract southern people to travel to Harbin. On the other hand, Harbin is also a famous cultural city with a long history, rich in tourism resources, and its buildings are a combination of Chinese and western, such as the famous Hagia Sophia Church, Nikolai Church, Russian wooden house and other buildings with rich historical background. To sum up, the northeast characteristic culture is closely combined with the local high-quality tourism resources in Harbin, and together they build the basic framework for the popularity of winter tourism in Harbin.

3. Outstanding humanistic feelings

In this round of Harbin tourism boom, in addition to the effective supervision of government departments, the enthusiasm and all-round service of local people have become an important reason for Harbin tourism to continue to be hot. The openness and enthusiasm of Harbin people are highly praised by public opinion. Considering foreign tourists, Harbin has set up a series of warm measures, such as "setting frozen pears", "free car transfer" and "tourist warm station" In addition, the sincere and enthusiastic "New Year thank-you letter to tourists and friends at home and abroad" issued by the local government also received unanimous praise from netizens. The above matters reflect the harmonious atmosphere of Harbin city and build a civilized and friendly city image.

4. Diversified publicity

The popularity of Harbin tourism network is closely related to diversified and three-dimensional publicity work. Judging from the feedback from public opinion, there are mainly the following aspects: First, the subject of publicity is diversified. In this publicity, local official departments, local residents and foreign tourists participated in the communication. The official department mainly publicizes local cultural tourism activities, market supervision and other fields, and at the same time releases the latest official information in the public opinion field in time, so that tourists can receive the information at the first time. Local residents mainly publicize local cultural tourism resources, showing the friendly atmosphere of local hospitality. At the same time, he ridiculed "different treatment" and showed Harbin’s hospitality with humorous expressions. Foreign tourists are more likely to share their experiences and punch cards in Harbin, and provide all kinds of experience stickers for other tourists who want to play, helping Harbin tourism-related information to become popular in the network. Second, the publicity platform is diversified. The popularity of Harbin tourism has been greatly boosted by the publicity of several key websites and platforms such as Tik Tok, Weibo and Xiaohongshu. In the above platform, hot words such as "Erbin" and "Little Potato" have been formed, and hot stalks have been constantly circulating, attracting more traffic and exposure for Harbin tourism. Third, the content of publicity is diversified. This publicity is not limited to the promotion of local tourist attractions, but also the humanistic care and service guarantee of local cities in Harbin has become the focus of public opinion. At the same time, the urban history of Harbin and the cultural differences between the north and the south have also been hotly discussed. The above measures have opened a window for the continuous spread of the popularity of "Harbin Tourism".

5. Handle negative public opinion properly and respond positively to tourists’ demands.

Judging from the relevant media reports, the popularity of Harbin tourism originated from the "Ice and Snow World" refund storm on December 18th. The local cultural tourism department intervened in the disposal for the first time, and the leaders of the Cultural Tourism Bureau rushed to the scene of the Ice and Snow World for supervision at the first time, and confirmed that they would actively refund the tickets to the tourists on the first day of opening the park. At the same time, the snow and ice world scenic spot in the center of the storm also issued an open letter to apologize to the tourists and put forward specific rectification measures. Just as the Zibo Cultural Tourism Bureau released a letter to tourists and friends after the Zibo barbecue became popular in the early stage, the relevant government departments later released a letter to the people of the whole city, which raised the city’s "temperature" in a kind and simple language, called on citizens to take action, and also brought tourists a "warm winter" experience. Boosting the enthusiasm and hospitality of Harbin and its people, the reliable image of the government has also been continuously improved in the process of communication. In addition, local government departments also actively responded to tourists’ needs and improved tourism supporting facilities. In addition to the subway, the world of ice and snow to Sun Island ferry tickets free, but also vigorously rectify the local taxi violations, the phenomenon of arbitrary price increases in popular scenic spots, from quick to severe punishment of passenger smuggling behavior, to a great extent, to curb the negative impact of major public opinion on the development of Harbin cultural tourism.

Third, experience and enlightenment

1, learn from excellent experience, tap their outstanding advantages.

From the Zibo barbecue to the "Ice and Snow World" refund storm to Harbin tourism, we can see that the local tourism culture has always been the driving force to support the sustainable development of local cultural tourism. On the one hand, relevant departments can focus on local excellent traditional culture, dig deep into local characteristic cultural industries, including food, and grasp outstanding advantages; Grasp the "pulse" of mainstream culture and the direction of publicity, and create an industrial cultural brand with unique local characteristics. On the other hand, we can learn from the rich experience of online celebrity, which has become a popular tourist city in the early stage, and we should pay attention to learning from the excellent government propaganda experience of other regions. For some publicity notices concerning the interests of the masses, we should avoid "red tape" and "fooling literature", pay attention to the coexistence of warmth and humanization, and be closer to people’s lives.

2. Improve the construction of basic supporting service facilities and do a good job in highlighting risk management.

As the foundation of tourism culture, whether the supporting facilities and services related to tourism in cities and scenic spots are in place directly determines the first impression of tourists. On the basis of the original mechanism, the relevant government departments continue to strengthen the supervision of the consumer market, especially the cultural tourism industry, and strengthen the handling of illegal acts; On the other hand, we should also ensure the continuous optimization of the corresponding supporting services at the grassroots level. At the same time, we can improve the shortcomings in grassroots work, and if necessary, we can issue questionnaires to solicit opinions from citizens or tourists. In addition, it should also be noted that once the city is "popular" and blessed by "flow", the flaws or problems in local subtleties will be infinitely magnified by public opinion, and negative public opinion will have a negative impact on the credibility of local government departments and the image of the city. Therefore, the relevant cities should actively learn from the excellent handling experience of other cities in the face of sudden public opinion and traffic concern, and express the greatest respect for tourists and citizens with a correct attitude and positive publicity.

3, urge the "flow" to "reserve" and attach importance to the long-term governance of local industries.

The traffic caused by short-term explosion of an industry is difficult to play a fundamental role in the long-term development of the overall urban economy. In order to ensure the smooth transformation of the local short-term high-exposure and high-traffic cultural tourism industry, it is necessary for multiple departments to work together to integrate the short-term traffic into other local fields and support the long-term development of the local economy. On the one hand, we can take the short-term explosion of the industry as an opportunity to spread the dividends it brings to the surrounding industries it extends. At the same time, we can use this business card to seek urban development and transformation, expand the new "track" of urban economic development, actively introduce new energy, technology, Internet and other emerging industries to settle in, and multi-industry integration will promote the long-term development of the local economy; On the other hand, we will vigorously improve the local business environment, put preferential policies into practice, and attract more enterprises to invest. In addition, we need to pay attention to talent introduction, innovation and mechanism improvement, and carry out a series of support measures such as training and financing services for college graduates and young talents who come to start businesses, so that talents can come and stay.

Not all stories are love stories | Reading Day

Recently, Chinese-American writer Yiyun Li’s novel "Should I Go" met readers in China, which is the first time that Yiyun Li has been translated into Chinese and introduced into domestic novels.

Many readers in China have heard of Yiyun Li, but many readers in China read Yiyun Li for the first time. Yiyun Li went to the United States to study after graduating from the Biology Department of Peking University, and later turned to writing. From the publication of her first novel collection "A Thousand Years of Worship" in 2005 to the present, she has always written in English, and has become one of the most accomplished Chinese writers in English. Now, she is finally ready to return her works to China.

The first novel translated into Chinese and published.

Many readers in China have heard of Yiyun Li.

Yiyun Li, a Chinese-American writer, is currently a professor and director of creative writing program at Lewis Art Center of Princeton University. She is a "post-70s" who went to the United States to study after graduating from the Biology Department of Peking University, and later turned to English writing. Her first collection of short stories, A Thousand Years of Worship, has aroused widespread concern and affirmation, and won the Frank O ‘Connor International Short Story Award, the American Pen Hemingway Award and the British Guardian Newcomer Award. She herself has been rated as the most noteworthy writer by major authoritative literary magazines, and won the MacArthur Genius Award in the United States in 2010. In 2012, Yiyun Li won the O Henry Award for her short story Kindness, making her the first Chinese writer to win the award. In 2022, Yiyun Li was elected as an academician of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a year later, she won the Faulkner Prize for Literature for her new work The Book of Goose.

So far, Yiyun Li has published six novels, three collections of short stories and one memoir. Should I Go, published in 2020, is her first novel translated into Chinese. In this novel, "Lilia has been married three times, raised five children, and is now looking forward to the birth of the 17th grandchild. She has been helping people around her to recognize herself all her life. At the age of eighty-five, she began to be fascinated by the diary of her old friend Roland. When she was young, they had a romantic relationship. She wanted to see what she could leave for the younger generation. The diary recorded Roland’s affairs in great detail. Lilia took pains to add footnotes to everything. A secret relationship that lasted for decades was slowly uncovered, including the existence of her daughter Lucy, who even Roland himself didn’t know. Flame-like passion, the grief of annihilation, people’s hearts go back and forth between these two poles, but they have to find their home and exit and continue to cruise. Yiyun Li gave a dazzling praise to life in the novel, about Lilia and about everyone who comes and goes in our lives. "

At the launch of Should I Go in Shanghai, Bao Huiyi, a young writer and associate professor of English at Fudan University, said that at first she thought the novel was a work about how to face aging and the last years of life, but later she found that it subverted all her presuppositions. She explained that the 80-year-old woman was obsessed with her old lover and went to such great trouble to read his diary, probably because she was immersed in the past, but this was not the case at all. With the development of the story, if it had a core meaning, it was the death of her daughter. In the novel, Lilia gave birth to a child with Roland, or she got a life from Roland. Later, this life passed away. Therefore, in Bao Huiyi’s understanding, Lilia didn’t go to the diary to trace the old love affair at all, and the author Yiyun Li also warned readers from the beginning that not all stories are love stories.

Who collects who?

When reading Should I Go, Bao Huiyi found two different voices contending. "There is a male first-person narrator in the book, and then the voice-over is female, because Lilia is constantly making comments when reading Roland’s book, and subverts the male voice, or it can’t be said to be subversive, because her comments actually appear irregularly, which can be said to be a deconstruction of the life story that the man thinks he is. Then you will see such a struggle for the narrative subject, which is very interesting and very tense. "

Bao Huiyi believes that "Should I Go" has at least three or more layers of structure, the first of which is Roland, the author of the diary, and Lilia, the commentator, and the relationship between Lilia and Roland can be expanded. However, Yiyun Li is not unconventional. In an interview with Zhong Na, a bilingual writer and literary translator, Yiyun Li said that she was willing to rely on a traditional structure, and she thought that she could tell the story well with the help of an existing framework. In Bao Huiyi’s view, this is actually a solid writing attitude. Writers rely on their own handy framework to write dialogues and characters well.

Bao Huiyi said that perhaps when reading more than ten pages in the book, readers will feel that Yiyun Li is an author with profound narrative skills and sophisticated life wisdom. For example, in the book, the struggle for topics such as memory and time, the man thinks that he can write a book with a coffin, and the young girl becomes his lover, just one of his many "collections", even just a small footnote in his life, but who actually collects who, who forgets who, what is permanence, what is transience and what is possession?

Zhong Na shared her reading experience at the launch of Should I Go? Zhong Na said that in "Should I Go", readers can see that Lilia shared a lot of life wisdom, and there are many enlightening things, especially some golden sentences, which also show the personality of the characters. "I think the interesting thing that Yiyun Li presents in this book is that there are many golden sentences, but at the same time, the golden sentences are constantly being deconstructed and overthrown, and they are often contradictory, which actually constitutes the personality characteristics of Lilia."

In addition, Lilia keeps reading the diary of his old lover and responding, which seems paranoid. How to understand this behavior, Zhong Na spent a long time thinking, and finally found the answer in another book by Yiyun Li, Dear Friends, Write Your Life from My Life. "Yiyun Li suffered from depression for two years, and then she did some thinking and digestion by reading and reviewing her life, including her relationship with her family, her relationship with literature, and her relationship with the first half of her life. So in fact, she is slowly gaining some wisdom to regain the balance of her life by constantly reading the writer’s letters and diaries. So that book is actually having a dialogue with "Should I Go?", that is, through very in-depth reading, the lives of readers and authors are intertwined. So after I reread the book, I read "Should I Go" again, and I have a feeling of understanding Lilia. When a person’s life is in a dilemma, she re-establishes a narrative by reading this most extreme way to enter the other’s brain. "

A Chinese writer who writes in English

The Chinese simplified version of Should I Go was published, which made many readers who had heard of Yiyun Li read Yiyun Li for the first time.

At the launch of Should I Go, Penglun, an archipelago book publisher, recalled his association with Yiyun Li and shared the publishing story of Should I Go. He said that for many readers, Yiyun Li has always been a legend or a legend. From the publication of the first collection of novels "A Thousand Years of Worship" in 2005 to the present, she has always written in English, but she was not born and raised in the United States, but a writer who went to study in the United States from China. Before going to the United States, she had never published her works in Chinese. Among the current Chinese writers, Yiyun Li can be said to be the most accomplished writer in English, and many readers in China who are concerned about the world literary world are also curious. Why has Yiyun Li never published Chinese works before?

Peng Lun introduced that he began to pay attention to Yiyun Li in 2004. At that time, his job was to report some trends in the literary and publishing circles at home and abroad, and he learned by chance that Yiyun Li had won a new literary prize. He had never heard of this writer, so he searched the Internet for relevant information and got in touch with Yiyun Li by email.

In 2005, Yiyun Li published her first collection of short stories in the United States and won some literary prizes. At that time, Peng Lungang started publishing and asked Yiyun Li if she could translate this collection of novels into China, but she refused. With the increasing popularity of Yiyun Li, other China media began to pay attention to this writer. However, when asked when he would publish a book in China, Yiyun Li said no.

"I noticed at that time that she felt that she was not ready at that stage, or that China was not ready to accept her as a Chinese writer writing in English." Peng Lun said.

Ten years later, until 2020, Peng Lun suddenly received a letter from Yiyun Li’s agent and her latest novel manuscript at that time, that is, "Should I go?".

Zhong Na thinks, "Should I Go" is a very mature writer who is very satisfied with his current creation, so Yiyun Li is willing to make it the starting point for his work to enter the Chinese world. Zhong Na has been paying attention to Yiyun Li’s creative career. In her view, the writer’s writing has been constantly changing, broadening her own boundaries. In the early days, Yiyun Li’s writing actually paid more attention to the depiction of characters’ inner images, as well as the connection of very special characters’ emotions and relationships, and even hid himself among the characters. But later, Yiyun Li did a lot of experiments and broadening on texts and writing, and his works were more mature than those in his early years.

It is reported that besides Should I Go, Yiyun Li’s other two works, The Book of Goose and Wednesday’s Children, have also been put on the publishing schedule. "Although her works entered the Chinese world for the first time, many readers, especially female readers, recognized her voice and the charm of her works very quickly, which gave me great confidence." Peng Lun said.

This is the second time that China won the World Rugby Sevens Challenge after five years. Previously, in 2022 and 2023, the China team regretted winning the bronze medal. It is worth mentioning that the opponents defeated by China women’s football team in this competition are all opponents who will compete in the same competition in the losing match of the Paris Olympic Games in June this year.

Opening words:

New Year’s Eve is a day of family reunion. Behind the lights, there are always some people who choose to stick to their posts and contribute their strength to others’ Spring Festival.

When they are homesick, they can only "reunite" with their families online, make a phone call, make a video, report their peace to their families and send them lovesickness.

On this New Year’s Eve, upstream journalists visited ordinary people from different positions and recorded their online New Year’s Eve.

Thank them for their dedication, responsibility and responsibility.

Pay tribute to everyone who has spent New Year’s Eve online.

▲ At Jiangbei International Airport, Xiong Mengxiang, the ground flight attendant of Chongqing Airlines, is checking in passengers.

Xiong Mengxiang, a 32-year-old ground crew member of Chongqing Airlines, has only been back to his hometown in Hubei twice for New Year’s Eve since he worked for 10 years. This year’s Spring Festival, she still sticks to her post to ensure that thousands of tourists go home for reunion.

Video call with family during lunch time

"Mom, is the dinner ready for the New Year’s Eve?" On January 31st, New Year’s Eve, the day of family reunion, Xiong Mengxiang made a video call to his mother during the short lunch time.

"What do you eat today? Dad cooked a lot of delicious dishes, but it’s a pity that you can’t come back. " Mother’s words are full of regret and concern.

"You eat more, eat my share, I’m all right here, eat well, don’t worry …" Xiong Mengxiang in the video always keeps smiling. A few minutes later, after hanging up the phone, she quietly turned her head and gently wiped her tears. Immediately, she began to tidy up her appearance, then put on a smile again and returned to her post to continue her work.

▲ Xiong Mengxiang wears protective equipment and is ready to work.

"Hello, madam, do you have any luggage to check?" Xiong Mengxiang, who returned to his post, smiled and served every passenger who came to check in.

Work for 10 years, only go home on New Year’s Eve and spend the New Year’s Eve twice.

Xiong Mengxiang has been doing this job for 10 years. Because of the particularity of her job, on New Year’s Eve in the past 10 years, she stuck to her job for eight years and only went back to her hometown in Hubei twice. On New Year’s Eve this year, Xiong Mengxiang is still on duty.

Xiong Mengxiang’s current job is a 24-hour shift system, starting at 9 am and getting off work at 9 am the next day. The main job is to handle check-in, ticket sales, change of visa, inquiry and other services for passengers. In the morning, they have to greet the passengers on the first flight, and in the evening, they have to send the passengers on the last flight away before they can get off work.

▲ Xiong Mengxiang handles check-in procedures for passengers.

Check-in, communication and coordination, formalities … These actions are repeated hundreds of times every day. After the COVID-19 epidemic, they also need to check the "double code" and nucleic acid certificate, which makes her work more complicated.

During her stay in Spring Festival travel rush, she received an average of more than 200 passengers every day, and the reception volume may double during the peak period. In the face of passengers’ inquiries, they always smile and serve, and do every detail well. At the check-in counter, they should check in a passenger within 3 minutes, and at the sales counter, they are required to issue tickets within 1 minute and change their tickets within 5 minutes. Standing for a long time caused varicose veins in her calf.

"Although I will be absent from the family reunion dinner this year, I am very pleased to be able to guarantee thousands of tourists to go home for reunion." Xiong Mengxiang said.

Matters needing attention in ski resort

Seasonal events

* Pay attention to protect the skin. The winter in northern China is cold and dry, and the skin loses a lot of water under this climatic condition. In addition, the skin is stimulated by the relatively fast cold wind formed during skiing and burned by strong ultraviolet rays on the snow surface, which is the main cause of skin damage. You can choose some oily skin care products with the function of preventing water loss, and then apply sunscreen with good anti-ultraviolet effect and water resistance to your skin.

* To prevent frostbite, frostbite mainly occurs in the hands, feet, ears and other parts of the human body, so cashmere products or chemical fiber products with good thermal insulation effect should be selected to keep the above parts warm.

* Pay attention to the temperature difference between day and night in the ski resort, bring relevant replacement clothes, and be careful to catch a cold.

Dazu Gulong non-legacy tea won two gold medals, and "Little Leaves" wrote "Great Articles".

Towering Bayue Mountain, long cologne tea. On January 8th, Chongqing Daily reporter learned that the winners list of the 8th China Chengdu International Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival Non-legacy Tea Fighting Competition was recently released, and Chongqing Dazu Gulong Tea Co., Ltd. won two gold medals in the green tea group and the black tea group of the Non-legacy Tea Fighting Competition.

One mountain, one water, one person, one leaf, one tree and one inheritance. Yibayue Mountain Range, Gulong Town, Yuxiu Dazu District, Zhong Ling, has dense forests, tinkling springs and rich humanities. Not only that, the history of Zen tea, which extends for thousands of years, is an important part of Dazu culture inheritance. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Bayue Mountain produced famous tea, so it was named "Shuinan Tea" because it was located in the south of Fujiang River. Bayue "Shuinan Tea" and Guanghan "Zhaopo", Emei "Baiya" and Ya ‘an "Mengding" are also called the four treasures of Shu tea, and they are fragrant in all directions.
The hand-made technique of Dazu Gulong Longya green tea originated from Chen Chunyu, a tea artist in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, and has been passed down from generation to generation. In September, 2020, the hand-made skills of Dazu Gulong Longya green tea were listed in the seventh batch of representative projects of district-level intangible cultural heritage in Dazu District. "We are very confident in the quality of Gulong tea, so we went to Chengdu to participate in the Tea Fighting Competition, and we look forward to helping the construction of the Shuangcheng Economic Circle in Chengdu and Chongqing with practical actions." Chen Wenjing, the inheritor of Dazu Gulong Longya green tea handcrafting skill, introduced that the judges comprehensively evaluated and scored the tea samples submitted for the competition in terms of shape, soup color, taste, aroma and leaf bottom. "Gulong tea stands out from the participating tea samples, which will greatly enhance the brand reputation and greatly help the non-genetic inheritance."

According to reports, Gulong Town is committed to doing two articles on "tea" and "mine", making full use of its own unique resources, focusing on the development idea of integrating agriculture, literature and tourism, deepening the cultural connotation, improving tourism facilities, accelerating the formation of a "tea sea fragrance, Zen life" resort, and striving to create a new Gulong that is small and special, small and refined, small and beautiful, small and strong, and small and rich. This makes Chen Wenjing see the hope that the non-legacy tea will glow with new vitality.
At present, Dazu Gulong Tea Co., Ltd. has more than 1,000 mu of ecological tea garden and more than 800 mu of wilderness tea garden, with rich varieties of tea, mainly producing black tea and green tea, which has driven the employment and income of local residents with "one leaf". "We are reviving the abandoned tea garden and driving farmers around the tea garden to take the road of integrated development of tea tourism and build a beautiful village together." Chen Wenjing said that non-genetic inheritors also went to schools such as Gulong Town Central Primary School to lead students to understand the tea culture in their hometown and sow the seeds of loving their hometown in their young hearts.
"In the early morning, the fog in the mountains hangs over this tea garden …" Chen Wenjing, born after 1980s, often incarnates as an anchor, promoting the Gulong tea and Dazu beauty in the form of short videos. She said that Dazu stone carvings are world-famous and Dazu tourism is booming. I hope that tourists can not only appreciate the stone carving culture in Dazu, but also stop and walk into the tea garden to taste the sweetness and sweetness of Gulong tea and feel the tranquility and peace from the heart.
