Waiting for the "reunion dinner" in spring

Wei Li

The reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve is also called reunion dinner, which means family reunion, happiness and auspiciousness. During the interview against COVID-19 epidemic this year, the author heard that an old father suffering from cancer and his three sons who were in traffic law enforcement posts had a reunion dinner that was postponed again and again, waiting for the spring dinner. After many twists and turns, I found the client.

Du Hongping, Du Taoping and Du Jiangping are all traffic law enforcement officers, and their parents are also retired employees of Liangping traffic system, which can be described as a typical "second generation".

The eldest Du Hongping and the second Du Taoping worked in Liangping, and the third Du Jiangping was transferred to the high-speed law enforcement department in 2014. As traffic law enforcement officers, Spring Festival and Spring Festival travel rush are the busiest times for the three brothers. But according to tradition, every year on New Year’s Eve, the family will try their best to get together and have a lively reunion dinner.

Different from previous years, my 81-year-old father has been suffering from lung cancer for many years, and he has been treated with chemotherapy three times before and after, and his health is getting worse. The three brothers privately agreed that this year’s Spring Festival reunion dinner must bring together all the family members, old and young, with no one missing, and take a family photo to make the old father on his deathbed happy for one year.

"The plan is at six o’clock in the evening, and everyone will have a reunion dinner together after the third child comes back. Because my father is so old, plus it is terminal cancer, it may be the last reunion dinner. " Boss Du Hongping said.

Just as my mother was preparing the ingredients for the New Year’s Eve dinner, Du Jiangping, the third son of the law enforcement brigade in Chongqing’s main city, told everyone that she would be on duty on New Year’s Eve and suggested that the time for the New Year’s Eve dinner should be adjusted to the second day of the first month …

Everyone thinks it is ok to postpone it for two days, as long as the family can be reunited and have a sense of ceremony during the Spring Festival to meet the wishes of the elderly.

In order to prepare for this postponed reunion dinner, my father specially arranged for my mother to cook dried pig’s feet in advance and buy Liangping’s special product "Daoer Mie" braised dishes, so that my children and grandchildren can get together and feel the warmth of the big family. The second child Du Taoping also arranged for his wife and daughter to go to the supermarket on the first day of the first month to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.

At noon on the second day of the first month, Du Jiangping, the third son, hurriedly drove back to Liang Ping’s hometown from the main city of Chongqing after work. Just when I arrived at the stairs of the traffic family home where my parents lived, a phone call stopped Du Jiangping and he was in a dilemma. The phone call was made by a colleague from the company-due to the severe epidemic situation in COVID-19, all people on leave are required to return to their posts immediately!

"It is complicated to get this notice, because my father’s condition is getting worse and worse, and it is rare to have such an opportunity to reunite. Returning to work immediately means that this reunion dinner has to be given up again."

Colleagues also kindly reminded Du Jiangping that due to the complicated identity of the people who came into contact during work, they must be disinfected before meeting their parents, so as to be careful to infect their families.

After much consideration, Du Jiangping informed his eldest brother at home to come downstairs, handed over the honey, cereal and other gifts he bought back to his father, and decided to return to work in the main city of Chongqing immediately.

"Just as I turned around, I heard a familiar voice-my mother shouted my nickname on the balcony on the third floor and told me to pay attention to safety and wear a mask during work. At this point, my heart is particularly sad, and my eyes are full of tears … "

In this way, the Dujia reunion dinner, which was originally postponed, can only be postponed for another time …

Among the three brothers, Du Jiangping, the third, spends the least time with his father. "When I was young, my father was a soldier and I was at home. When I grew up, my father was at home and I went to be a soldier again. Later, I went to work in high-speed law enforcement, and I always lacked companionship with my parents. Due to busy work, the last time I went home was more than two months ago. "

In Du Jiangping’s eyes, the father of a military background is particularly strict with the three brothers. He is often taught that a soldier will not fade after he leaves the army, and he should always keep his true colors as a soldier. Over the years, the three brothers have kept in mind their father’s teachings and worked hard to do their own jobs, all of which have become the backbone of the unit.

Although the epidemic delayed this "reunion dinner", the father in the hospital bed often called the three brothers who fought in the front line of the epidemic and told them to pay attention to their health and take precautions.

In the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic, Du Hongping, the boss, is the head of Yunlong exit traffic health quarantine station of G42 Chongqing-Yichang Expressway. "Commanding more than 1,000 cars to pull over every day during the rush hour means making thousands of gestures. When eating after work, it is difficult to hold the chopsticks steadily and it hurts all over."

Du Taoping, the second child, is guarding the card at Qixing Station of X116 Line adjacent to Guanyin Town, Dazhu, Sichuan. When he returns to the unit, he must do a good job in ensuring the supply of rice bags, vegetable baskets, meat plates and fruit plates in the city and the normal agricultural production.

At the Dawan Toll Station in Yubei District, Chongqing-adjacent section of G65 Baomao Expressway, I found the third Du Jiangping who was inspecting the vehicle. Du Jiangping’s brigade is the third brigade of Chongqing Traffic Administrative Law Enforcement Corps Expressway. During the duty, be responsible for patrolling the 101-kilometer-long road surface in the jurisdiction and handling emergencies. Referring to this postponed reunion dinner, Du Jiangping choked several times: "When I was a teenager, my father sheltered me from the wind and rain and raised me to grow up; When my father is old, I can’t be filial before bed and accompany him. I only hope that this epidemic will end as soon as possible, and the family will take a family photo and have a reunion dinner. "

There are no heroes who fall from the sky, only mortals who stand up. It is these countless "retrograde people" who, regardless of holidays or during the epidemic, give up their small families for everyone, keep one side safe, and protect the stability of a city, in exchange for peace in the world and good years.

We also expect that this postponed "reunion dinner" will open as scheduled in the flowers and spring breeze.

"The ability to properly combine reason and sensibility is a genius." -Jonathan Lee

In the field of psychology, rationality and sensibility are often a pair of antonyms, which are two sides of human nature. The former emphasizes objectivity, calmness and reason, and pays attention to facts and evidence; The latter relies more on intuition and experience and pays attention to the current feelings and emotions. The balance and reconciliation between reason and sensibility is often a subject that runs through a person’s life.

In fact, not only people, but also an enterprise, especially an automobile enterprise, has its own sensibility and rationality, which is reflected in market strategy, corporate culture, brand concept and other aspects. Looking at the huge automobile market, some people label themselves as "technical men", some pay attention to the more hard-core logic of making cars and selling, and some win the favor of users from the perspective of value and concept …

However, few car companies can balance the two ends of the balance as perfectly as Nissan does: it has both passionate and surging humanistic sensibility and practical and persistent scientific and technological rationality; It not only has strong empathy for the market and users, but also has in-depth layout and steady progress in many aspects such as product strength, brand strength and marketing strength. Perceptual thinking and ideal creation are the reasons why Nissan can still maintain its strength and steady progress after 90 years of wind and rain.

Re-polish the golden signboard of "Technology Nissan"

Over the years, technology has always been the most distinctive "label" of Nissan. It can be said that Nissan’s history of building cars is the history of the development of an automobile technology.

The world’s first Hyper CVT transmission for 2.0L engine, ATTESA E-TS four-wheel drive system, HICAS four-wheel steering system, etc. These core technologies, which are still talked about by people today, not only give Nissan strong brand potential in different historical periods, but also continuously polish and lay the golden signboard of "Technology Nissan".

Nowadays, when the wave of new energy and intelligence surges, this "golden signboard" is also being polished again.

Generally speaking, facing the new automobile era, Nissan has accelerated the pace of electric drive, bringing core technologies such as EV, e-POWER technology and e-4ORCE Snow Fox electric four-wheel drive.

Among them, Nissan e-POWER technology is an important pillar of Nissan’s electric drive strategy except pure electric vehicles. Technically, it is driven by 100% full-time motor, giving consideration to high efficiency and high performance, with strong power and very smooth and comfortable driving experience.

In the Japanese market, 60% Japanese users choose the e-POWER model, and the satisfaction rate is as high as 90%. Since the launch of the first model in 2016, Nissan’s e-POWER technology has accumulated more than 500,000 users in the Japanese market, among which NOTE e-POWER has won the sales of compact models in Japan for three consecutive years. In the China market, the ultra-hybrid electric drive Sylphy and ultra-hybrid electric drive Qijun are gradually favored by more users in China, and the sales volume has steadily increased.

In addition, Nissan has also played another "trump card"-all-solid-state battery (ASSB).

Nissan CEO Uchida said, "Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. is a pioneer in self-developed asset batteries. In this regard, we have conducted research and experiments for 35 years, and we hope to put all-solid-state batteries into mass production in an appropriate way."

Specifically, compared with the general lithium battery soft package, the all-solid-state battery developed by Nissan not only doubles the energy density, but also has higher charging efficiency, saving two-thirds of the time compared with the existing liquid lithium battery. According to relevant plans, Nissan’s all-solid-state batteries will start a pilot plant in 2024 and be mass-produced in 2028.

It can be seen that technology has always been the constant background of Nissan, whether in the past fuel vehicle era or in the new automobile era with earth-shaking energy-driven form and industrial development pattern. Insisting on using technology to pry the market and constantly strengthening the image label of "Technology Nissan", this scientific and technological rationality is an important foundation for Nissan China to leapfrog the cycle.

The spirit of "being the first" flowing in the blood

If rationality is the foundation, then sensibility is a tool for Nissan’s external expression.

In 1933, Nissan Motor was formally established; In 1935, when the annual sales volume of automobiles in Japan was only 900 units, Nissan built its first mass-produced automobile factory with an annual production capacity of 10,000 units. In 1947, Nissan took the lead in developing TAMA, Japan’s first pure electric vehicle, which laid the foundation for Nissan’s development in the field of pure electricity …

TAMA

In the 90-year stormy journey, "Dare to be the first" has always been a word engraved in Nissan’s genes. The brand spirit of "Do what others don’t dare to do" has always pushed Nissan to constantly achieve self-breakthrough in challenges, and has also forged countless legends named Nissan.

Entering a brand-new automobile era, Nissan’s "dare" is still clearly visible. Not long ago, Nissan China launched a unique "Journey to the Center of the Earth" in Guangxi and Guizhou provinces. The caves, sinkholes, canyons and hills not only deeply tested the strength of Nissan’s automobile products, but also once again interpreted the brand DNA of Nissan’s "Dare to be the first" and continued its spiritual connotation of "passion, innovation and challenge".

During the activity, Nissan Motor invited Li Jin, a well-known cave explorer in China and the first person to explore caves, and an exploration team composed of media from all over the country, car owners and Nissan China employees completed the exploration of the world’s largest sinkhole group-Dashiwei sinkhole in Leye, Guangxi, and challenged the 260-meter sinkhole descent. Standing at the top of the mountain overlooking your feet, you can feel the profound connotation of the brand gene of "Dare to be the first" in the collision of souls.

In Nissan China’s view, only by being brave in innovation and doing nothing can we constantly break through the status quo and stimulate the great potential contained within the brand to the greatest extent. Creating new opportunities in the changing situation, breeding new machines in the crisis and actively seeking innovation and change are the keys for Nissan to forge an eternal and always leading position in Nissan China in the ever-changing automobile market.

Practicing sustainable development, Nissan handed over a firm answer sheet

At the same time, in terms of sustainable development, Nissan’s rationality and sensibility are intertwined and balanced.

In 2022, Nissan Motor officially released the "2022 Nissan Sustainable Development Report in China", which reported the sustainable development achievements of Nissan Motor in recent years from three aspects: future travel, green and low carbon, and social contribution. At the same time, with the help of more rational strategies and plans, the technology, products and public welfare layout of Nissan in China society will be promoted.

At present, Nissan has more than 1,700 dealers in China, providing more than 70,000 jobs. While playing a leading role in the automobile industry, it also shoulders the banner of high-quality regional economic development and social responsibility.

Especially in the export of spare parts, in recent years, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has built a comprehensive green supply chain in three areas of ESG, and achieved emission reduction of more than 12,000 tons per year through various activities such as adopting globally recycled packaging containers, promoting the introduction of electrified equipment, and promoting the transformation to low-carbon transportation mode.

Nissan also insists on deep cultivation of sustainable development. Taking "Journey to the Center of the Earth" as an example, during the expedition, the expedition team visited Banli White-headed langur reserve, Nonggang forest reserve, Tongling Grand Canyon and other areas to explore the diversity of animals. It is understood that in Guangxi Banli white-headed langur reserve, the population of white-headed langur has increased from more than 200 before to more than 1,400 at present. This visit not only deeply explained Nissan’s sustainable development concept of "people, cars and nature coexist harmoniously", but also once again awakened the society’s attention to the protection of ecological environment and biodiversity.

In addition, in terms of education, since it was held in 2013, the "Nissan Dreaming Class" initiated by Nissan China has experienced 10 years of development. By the end of 2022, classes had been held in 24 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, with a total of 2 million students benefiting.

In the future, with Nissan’s pure electric vehicles and e-POWER vehicles landing in China, Nissan’s low-carbon transformation will be further implemented, which will promote the sustainable development of society and bring consumers a more perfect power experience. At the same time, it also provides long-term support for Nissan to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050.

As a responsible automobile company, Nissan always upholds a high sense of social responsibility, pays full attention to social needs while creating economic value, and integrates social, environmental and moral development factors into its own operation and core strategy.
