Lantu FREE is the world’s first, the "change and plan" of the road to the advancement of its own brand

"Value for money, have faith in the price, buy without regret, use it without worry, empower life, and gain friendship." On December 18, Zhu Yanfeng, chairperson and party secretary of DONGFENG MOTOR CORPORATION (hereinafter referred to as "Dongfeng Company"), drew a product blueprint for Lantu Automobile for "new backbone" consumers.

On the same night, Lantu Automobile’s first medium and large-scale intelligent electric SUV, Lantu FREE, completed its world debut at the Shenzhen Universiade Center. This model provides multi-scenario power solutions for the new backbone in daily commuting, inter-city travel, long-distance travel and other scenarios, and will continue to bring users a zero-anxiety, warm and reliable intelligent electric experience.

From the launch of the brand strategy in Wuhan, Jiangcheng on July 29 to the launch of the world’s first mass-produced model, Lantu FREE, in Shenzhen, Pengcheng on December 18, Lantu Automobile completed the brand start-up stage of "from scratch, from 0 to 1" in 142 days, and is about to enter a new stage of market competition. Within Dongfeng, Lantu Automobile "holds the heavy responsibility of the entire Dongfeng brand upward, conveys the courage of Dongfeng soaring", and aspires to "become a leader in high-end new energy passenger vehicles in China".

LANTU FREE will announce the specific price information before the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show. The price will not be higher than 400,000 yuan. The extended range electric version and the pure electric version will be listed simultaneously, and it is planned to be delivered to users in the third quarter of 2021. In terms of sales channels, online reservation numbers have been opened. LANTU Auto will adopt a fully direct channel model and set up LANTU experience centers in the core business districts of key cities. According to the plan, the company will establish 40 direct experience stores across the country in 2021.

"The global launch of Lantu FREE marks another solid step for Lantu Automobile to enter the market and serve customers." Zhu Yanfeng said that Dongfeng will use the group’s strength to firmly support the development of Lantu Automobile in terms of strategy, technology, talent and capital with strong system capabilities and high-quality resources, and will build Lantu into a leader in China’s high-end new energy passenger vehicles, promoting excellent Dongfeng and world-class enterprise construction.

Speed up your run and fight the high-end market

At the press conference, a light blue Landu FREE slowly drove towards the middle of the stage, which immediately attracted bursts of applause from the scene.

This is the first large and medium-sized smart electric SUV from Lantu to be unveiled to the world in Shenzhen for the first time since it was officially pre-produced in Wuhan on November 25.

It is understood that from the official release of the brand strategy on July 29 to the launch of the first body-in-white on November 6, and then to the pre-production launch on November 25, it took only more than 100 days for Lantu Automobile, and the mass production landing speed set a record for the industry. According to the plan, Lantu Automobile will launch no less than one new car to the market every year from 2021. In the next 3 to 5 years, the products will cover multiple market segments such as cars, SUVs and MPVs, and continue to provide users with electric vehicle solutions.

Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu Automobile, said that the reason why Lantu FREE was launched in Shenzhen is because "the urban character of Shenzhen is highly compatible with the brand character of Lantu". Shenzhen is a fertile soil for creating miracles and realizing dreams. It is a batch of new backbone that creates Shenzhen speed. Innovation and vitality allow people to ignite dreams and make blueprints come true one by one.

The target customer portrait of Landmap FREE is also the new backbone of the city. In order to meet the needs of users in urban commuting, inter-city travel, long-distance travel and other scenarios, Landmap FREE takes electric drive as the core and provides users with two options of pure electric and extended range electric, which is suitable for distant cities in Yicheng. Among them, the pure electric version of NEDC has a cruising range of 500 kilometers, while the extended electric version adopts "1.5T + four-cylinder" extended range technology, with a comprehensive cruising range of 860 kilometers, which is currently the longest cruising range of similar models.

Lu Fang said that as a zero-anxiety medium and large-scale intelligent electric SUV, Lantu FREE combines five advantages: long cruising range, excellent power performance, advanced range-extended electric technology, intelligent technology, and many luxury and comfortable configurations, and will be committed to meeting users’ zero-anxiety, warm, and safe intelligent electric travel experience.

According to Lei Xin, the chief brand officer of Lantu Automobile, Lantu FREE has now fully opened the reservation, the sales price does not exceed 400,000 yuan, and will be delivered to users in the third quarter of 2021.

It is worth noting that, as a joint stock company of Dongfeng Motor Group (hereinafter referred to as "Dongfeng Group", 00489.HK) to promote the brand upward and enhance the competitiveness of its own brands, Lantu Automobile is the company’s response to the demand for high-end products in the new energy vehicle market.

"Standing at the beginning of the new energy 3.0 era, Lantu Automobile is committed to providing a series of anxiety-free products and services for China’s new backbone." The person in charge of Lantu Automobile said that the launch of Lantu FREE marks another solid step for Lantu to enter the market and serve users, and promotes Lantu Automobile to accelerate on the new energy vehicle track.

"Compared with Tesla, NIO and other brands, the company still has room for improvement in the layout and brand positioning of high-end new energy passenger vehicles." Dongfeng Group said that in the future, the company will vigorously develop its own brand of Landmap, with the positioning of high-end new energy as an entry point, opening up the upward development space of the company’s own passenger car brand, and further enhancing the company’s independent new energy passenger car market recognition.

Create and enjoy plan, invite new backbone

A piece of white paper, starting from scratch, can draw the most beautiful and best pictures. Lantu Auto will also explore the way for the development of China’s new energy industry and draw a blueprint for its own brand to achieve counterattack.

In the industry, Lantu Automobile has been positioned as "China’s new car manufacturing strength" since its birth, and the model of "mature car companies + new car manufacturing forces". Lantu Automobile will adopt a market-oriented and independent operation method, and does not belong to any subsidiary of Dongfeng Company. It has a new strategy, a new organizational mechanism, a new business model and a new team. It has achieved "China’s new car manufacturing strength" with the advantages of "four new", bringing users a truly zero-anxiety smart electric experience.

In terms of product and brand building, Lantu Auto will also join hands with new backbones to create and share a beautiful travel blueprint through high-quality products and services. On the launch night of Lantu FREE, 7 new backbones representatives from education, medical care, technology and other industries jointly launched the "Innovation and Enjoy Plan" as Lantu Auto "Innovation and Enjoy Officers".

According to the plan, Lantu Automobile will invite more customers engagement in the process of model development, testing, production and service, to help products and services iterate rapidly to better meet user needs. At the same time, Lantu Automobile will build a platform for resource sharing, create an interactive community, and ultimately realize two-way empowering and common growth with customers.

Zhu Yanfeng said that as a high-end new energy vehicle brand of Dongfeng, Lantu FREE not only inherits the "quality, wisdom and joy" Dongfeng brand value concept, but also adheres to the "light, quiet and elegant" brand style, and strives to meet the spiritual pursuit of freedom, continuous exploration and upward breakthrough of the new backbone.

In fact, as the CEO of the company, Lu Fang is also a creative partner of Lantu Auto, and is the second "consumer" in the country to book a Lantu FREE model.

Focusing on the needs of the whole life cycle of users, Lantu Auto will provide convenient, efficient and consistent zero-anxiety user experience through direct sales mode and digital platform. It is understood that Lantu Auto will adopt a fully direct sales channel mode and set up Lantu experience centers in the core business districts of key cities. At the same time, Lantu Auto will set up service centers close to the user’s living area to provide a more convenient and warm service experience.

In addition, Dongfeng Group’s return to class A shares has passed the review of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange’s growth enterprises market listing committee, and will soon become the fourth "A + H" share vehicle manufacturer in China. It will also provide sufficient "blood transfusion" funds for the development of the Lantu automobile brand.

According to the prospectus, Dongfeng Group plans to publicly issue no more than 957 million shares and raise 21.033 billion yuan for new brand high-end new energy passenger vehicle projects, new generation vehicles and forward-looking technology development projects and supplementary Working Funds. In the fundraising project, the total investment of Lantu brand high-end new energy vehicle projects reaches 11 billion yuan, and the proceeds raised 7 billion yuan, accounting for 33.33% of the total fundraising. proceeds raised will be mainly used in the fields of Product Research & Development, digital factory investment and marketing digitalization of Lantu Automobile.

It is understood that Lantu Automobile, which is oriented by user request and enters the market with "new strength in car building", is the product of Dongfeng Group’s deep insight into the new energy vehicle market. Under the wave of consumption upgrading, the charging environment of new energy vehicles, consumers’ driving habits, mileage anxiety caused by commuting distance, and anxiety about the service of the whole life cycle of the car are all important factors affecting the penetration rate of new energy vehicles.

In the opinion of Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the National Passenger Car Association, the future prospects of Lantu Automobile are still very broad, because the medium and large electric vehicle market is far from saturated, and the monthly sales of outstanding products such as NIO are only a few thousand. Therefore, if Lantu Automobile can create outstanding products, the future is still full of opportunities.

High quality and low price? Community groups buying "hidden corners" highlight industry worries

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 29 (reporters Ding Yawen, Li Ting, Hu Jiefei) Recently, there have been many controversies about the quality and safety of the food sold by community groups buying supply channels. Many consumers report that they buy products of unknown origin on community e-commerce platforms; some consumers report that they see community group buying staff sorting and repackaging expired products.

  According to the "official" statement of some community e-commerce companies, their "high quality and low price" is achieved by "direct procurement from the place of origin" and reducing intermediate costs. However, the reporter’s investigation found that this statement seems untenable. What are the "hidden corners" of community group buying? Can food safety be guaranteed? The reporter visited on the spot and interviewed all relevant parties in the industrial chain to restore the true ecology of community group buying.

  "Direct mining from origin" is mostly the slogan "wholesale distribution" is the mainstream

  According to the description of some community e-commerce companies, most of the agricultural products they sell are supplied by "direct procurement from the place of origin". The company has a "supply chain system of origin", which can ensure "quality from the source".

  When the reporter visited wholesale markets such as Xinfadi in Beijing and Hongqi Farmers’ Trade in Tianjin, he found multiple community group buying and distribution trucks. Some suppliers and drivers told reporters that some merchants in the market supply to multiple platforms at the same time. Community group buying trucks usually pull goods at night, complete sorting work in the warehouse at night, and deliver to the "head" the next day.

  "We are a first-class supplier, and the fruit we sell is directly pulled from the local cooperative. The big community group buying platforms all buy from us. If you plan to do group buying, just come to us to buy, even if it is directly from the place of origin," said one supplier.

  Yang Tiantian, deputy secretary-general of the Commerce and Logistics Branch of the China Chamber of Commerce, introduced that the supply of goods for community group buying mainly comes from two channels: one is direct procurement from the place of origin, and the other is wholesale purchase. Direct procurement from the place of origin is very difficult. Enterprises need to have the control ability of the entire supply chain. They need "three major warehouses" of origin warehouses, transit warehouses and front warehouses, and the investment cost is very high. Among the current community e-commerce enterprises, most of them only have front warehouses, which cannot realize direct procurement from the place of origin at all.

  Zhuang Shuai, founder of Bailian Consulting, believes that "wholesale-distribution" is the mainstream business model of community group buying enterprises. Compared with traditional e-commerce and "home" models, community group buying has a short inventory cycle, distribution does not require "single delivery", and warehousing management and logistics costs are relatively low, which is also the biggest advantage of community group buying. It is estimated that the warehousing and logistics costs of community group buying are at least half lower than those of traditional e-commerce.

  Ben Ning, general manager of the operation center of the original life network, said that the meaning of direct procurement from the origin is that retailers break the traditional multi-layer circulation system and directly purchase products from the origin. If you choose direct procurement from the origin, then retailers need to bear all the risks of the circulation and sales of agricultural products, including the risk of inversion of the sales price and the purchase price. Therefore, few retailers actually carry out direct procurement from the origin.

High quality and low price? Community groups buying "hidden corners" highlight industry worries

  Under the price advantage, can the bottom line of food safety be maintained?

  Recently, there have been many discussions about the safety of community group buying food. Some netizens reported that they bought counterfeit and shoddy products from the community group buying platform, and the products they bought were expired, moldy, and the products were "short of weight".

  Some netizens reported that they saw community group buying staff sorting out the expired products in the warehouse and repackaging them for sale. Some netizens searched according to the address of the manufacturer on the outer packaging of the food, but found that there was no manufacturer at all.

  Industry insiders told reporters that in order to reduce the end point price of products, community e-commerce is competing to lower costs, coupled with relatively weak supervision and spot checks, which is the main reason for the frequent occurrence of food safety problems.

  In interviews, some fruit and vegetable suppliers said that due to the serious price reduction of the platform, most high-end fruit and vegetable suppliers cannot cooperate with community e-commerce. Some suppliers may choose smaller, less glossy and lower-grade fruits and vegetables to supply to the platform.

  A supplier of cold chain products told reporters that the quotation given to them by community e-commerce was lower than the cost price, and they could not cooperate at all. "At first, we didn’t understand why they could sell the price so low, but later found that some platforms bought temporary products, replaced them with their own packaging and resold them. Changing the packaging can be’flexible ‘for many things, and the origin and production date can be’blurred’."

  "Our manufacturer does not allow the platform to change the outer packaging. But I know that many suppliers in the industry allow changes. When changing the packaging, the supplier will sign a contract with the platform, and if there is a problem with the product in the future, the platform will take full responsibility." A fresh products supplier said.

  How can emerging business models innovate supervision? Guide the healthy development of the industry

  Industry insiders said that community group buying, as an emerging business, has been much sought after by various capitals in recent years. Due to the lack of necessary supervision, the development of the industry has fallen into the dilemma of brutal growth and chaos. It is recommended to innovate the regulatory system and build a governance system involving the government, platforms and consumers to promote the healthy development of community group buying.

  Pan Helin, executive dean of the Digital Economy Research Institute of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, believes that the "low price" and "excessive subsidy" of community group buying can be classified as unfair competition, and whether it is suspected of dumping can be judged by referring to the average price of market transactions. In terms of laws and regulations, our country has revised and improved the Anti-Unfair Competition Law in 2019. At present, it is necessary to speed up the improvement of market competition rules, promote the revision of the Antimonopoly Act, and speed up the introduction of anti-monopoly guidelines in the field of platform economy and online transaction supervision and management measures.

  "In terms of food safety, it is appropriate to make it clear that the responsibility for food safety belongs to the platform side. As long as the responsible party is clear, the distribution area can supervise the quality of the goods, but in practice, it is also necessary to establish a convenient consumer feedback mechanism, such as handling food quality issues through consumer associations, because the trigger point for food safety is often not surprise inspections, but consumer complaints," Pan Helin said.

  Li Yanchuan, chairperson of the joint stock company in Beijing, suggested that local regulators could increase sampling of food sold by community ecommerce. "Regulators will conduct sampling inspections of products sold in supermarkets every month. It is recommended to conduct sampling inspections of products sold by community ecommerce at the same frequency to implement the main responsibility of the platform."

  Ma Liang, a researcher at the National Institute of Development and Strategy of Renmin University of China, believes that the supervision of community group buying needs to strengthen cross-departmental coordination and linkage to avoid fragmentation and fragmentation resulting in inefficient supervision.

Explore the Top Ten Film and Television Cities in China! The beauty of The Legend of the Demon Cat actually comes from here.

Special feature of 1905 film network Since the release of Chen Kaige’s novel last Friday, the controversy over the adaptation of the novel and the creation of the script has aroused great repercussions. However, it is undeniable that he made the Tang Dynasty, the most prosperous dynasty in China, beautiful, prosperous and gorgeous.

 

 

In order to shoot The Legend of the Demon Cat, Chen Kaige and his wife.Chen HongIn Xiangyang, Hubei Province, a China Tang Cheng was built according to the ratio of 1:1.The audience questioned this behavior, and he responded in an interview that it is not a stupid way to make a movie to build a city. "That’s how movies should be made, carefully prepared and shot.”。

 

 

We can clearly see the exquisite, magnificent and unparalleled atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty from the film, and the sense of proportion is excellent. It can be said that Tang Cheng contributed a lot to the creation of this sense of reality.

 

Actually, there are many movie theaters located in various parts of China, so let me take you around the city. Go to Tang Cheng in the footsteps of the demon cat first!

 

First stop:Hubei Xiangyang Tang Cheng movie and television base

 

Tang Cheng Film and Television Base covers an area of 600 mu. Only the first phase of the project was built for filming The Legend of the Demon Cat, and Meng Haoran Cultural Tourism Zone and San’guo City will be built in the future. The time when I went to Tang Cheng happened to be winter, that is, the moment when Huang Xuan stood in the snow and showed his chest muscles to meditate.

 

Tang Cheng Film and Television Base is divided into seven main areas: Suzaku Gallery, East City, West City, Seiryuji, Huyulou, Tang Palace and Gao Lishi House. These places basically appeared in the movie "The Legend of the Demon Cat".

 

Mingdemen is the entrance to the scenic spot, and the entrance is the central axis of Chang ‘an — — Suzaku Gallery, reaching the Tang Palace. This Suzaku Gallery is the road where Shōta Sometani entered the palace to see the emperor and exorcise evil spirits in The Legend of the Demon Cat.

 

 

On both sides of Suzaku Gallery are the East Market and the West Market, both of which belonged to commercial areas in Chang ‘an in Tang Dynasty. In The Legend of the Demon Cat, the houses and alleys where Shōta Sometani and Huang Xuan explore and chat are all in the west market.

 

 

The most important scene in The Legend of the Demon Cat — — The feast of bliss took place in the Calyx Xianghui Building, which is located on the left side of the Tang Palace, at the red box on the right in the picture below. Calyx Xianghui Building is the first building in the world, which ranks before Tengwang Pavilion, Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower and Stork Tower. Further to the left is the Imperial Garden. The word "bliss" given to Hiroshi Abe by the emperor played by Edward Zhang happened in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden.

 

There is also an important scene in the imperial garden, that is, Fengqilou, which falls in the lower left corner. It is the old palace where Huang Xuan stole the treasures in the Seven Treasures Letter, and Huang Xuan walked up from a passage in the rockery in the imperial garden. The stills below entered the stairs in the room from underground.

 

In the picture of Tang Cheng in the snow, the circular building on the central axis is the Tang Palace. After the interior of the Tang Palace was filmed, the props have been removed. Although you can’t feel the splendor in the film when you go to the scene, the stills have survived.

 

 

In addition, there are two main scenes: Hu Yulou and Seiryuji, which are separated from the city by a lake and a river respectively. The very steep bridge that Shōta Sometani stepped on in the picture below connects Dongshi and Greater Seiryuji. Anyone who has seen a movie will be familiar with it. Shōta Sometani asked the truth about the melon farmer’s cat. A scene happened in front of this bridge.

 

 

Hu Yulou, separated by a lake, is the brothel where Qin Hao and his men went in the film, where they first met Crystal. The red box in the picture below is Hu Yulou.

 

Further north of Hu Yulou is Gao Lishi Mansion, which is separated from the Palace by a river. It is surrounded by a round wall, just on the left in the picture below.

 

The buildings in the Tang Dynasty are mainly simple and solemn, and the corners on both sides of Zhuquemen Gate Tower are inclined upwards, which is also very special.

 

It is not an easy task to build such a city to restore the Tang Dynasty. It is understood that Tang Cheng introduced the flowing water of the Han River into the city, forming a trend of "eight waters around Chang ‘an". At the same time, 20,000 trees were planted in the city, and it took six years to complete the construction.

 

The movie "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is just the opening chapter of the Tang Cheng Film and Television Base. Followed by a new crew to shoot, the latest is Chen Kun’s TV series "Burn the Right to Play the World", which tells the story of Ning Yi, the king of Chu, and has traveled to Xiangyang and Wuxi for filming. Chen Kun’s photos published in Weibo and the scenes in the stills exposed by the film can be said to be quite familiar. It is the Suzaku Gallery in Xiangyang Tang City.

 

According to relevant staff, at present, more than 40 crews have reached a framing agreement with Tang Cheng. For Tang Cheng, this is just the beginning. In addition, Xiangyang has also built a Seoul in Zaoyang City under its jurisdiction, which is a large-scale retro architectural complex integrating the essence of Han Dynasty architecture and classical garden landscape, and will also be used for film and television shooting.

I can’t go home for the New Year, but I also have the warmth of home. The hometown that comes by express delivery is full of love.

□ Chutian Metropolis Daily News reporter Liu Qin
I received one package after another from my hometown, and the same delicious food was placed on the table. Although they were in a foreign land, they could not reunite with their families, but they still had a warm year.
This year, many people across the country responded to the government’s call and chose to celebrate the New Year on the spot. The care and blessings of relatives come to them with the package, which warms the hearts of wanderers.
A stranger who stayed in Han for the New Year.
Zhang Zhongyi, 26, comes from Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. In October 2020, he became a Selected Graduates in Wuhan, and now he is a member of the poverty alleviation team of Nanhu Street in Shiyang Village, Wuchang District.
In January this year, Zhang Zhongyi made plans to stay in China for the New Year. "I just joined the work and need more responsibility. I can stay in Wuhan and stand by at any time." Yesterday, Zhang Zhongyi told Jimu journalist.
Zhang Zhongyi and his wife
Zhang Zhongyi is an only child. After he told his parents about his decision to stay in Han for the New Year, he got their support.
On January 30th, Zhang Zhongyi married his girlfriend who had been in love for many years. To his delight, after his wife learned of his plan, she also gave up going back to her hometown in Yueyang, Hunan Province for the New Year and decided to stay in Wuhan to accompany him for the New Year.
"It’s the first time for both of us to spend the New Year outside." Zhang Zhongyi told reporters.
Compared with Zhang Zhongyi, Huang Hua from Enshi will spend the Spring Festival alone in the rental house. This will be his second time to spend the New Year alone. "The last time was last year, and I took the initiative to stay in Wuhan. I am still not used to it. After all, every Spring Festival before, I was with my relatives, and my rural hometown was lively and fun. " Huang Hua said. When he decided to stay in Han for the New Year again this year, his mind was full of scenes of family reunion, and he felt a little indebted to his parents.
Yang Tianchen and his wife
Also staying in Wuhan for the second Spring Festival is Yang Tianchen from Xiangtan City, Hunan Province. At the age of 30, he has worked in Wuhan for 9 years. He got married in September 2019, took his parents to Wuhan in January 2020, and the family spent the New Year in their new house. Due to the epidemic, his parents didn’t go home from Han until mid-April last year. "For more than ten years, this is the longest time I have stayed with my parents. I cherish the time I spent with them." Yang Tianqi said. Originally planned to return to his hometown in Hunan for the New Year this year, he responded to the call of the local government and decided to stay in Han for the New Year again, which not only reassured himself, but also reassured others.
Hubei people far away from home
Five years ago, in order to support her husband’s career and for the healthy growth of her children, Tian Xiujuan took her children and followed her husband to Hami, Xinjiang, 2300 kilometers away.
Tian Xiujuan’s family
Tian Xiujuan, 36, was born in a small mountain village in Hefeng County. For her, her hometown and Chinese New Year are closely related. In the first three years in Xinjiang, she and her husband returned to their hometown for the New Year.
Before the Spring Festival last year, Tian Xiujuan and her husband worried that the children had to travel too hard because their eldest son had just entered elementary school, so they decided to stay in Hami for the New Year. The three children were a little unhappy and often asked her, "When can we go back to our hometown? When can I see my grandmother? " At this time, Tian Xiujuan will miss her hometown and her relatives more.
"We originally planned to take our children home for the New Year this year, but we decided to stay after seeing local initiatives to celebrate the New Year." Tian Xiujuan said.
Tsang Man
Ceng Min, 26, comes from Xuanen County. After graduating from a master’s degree in 2019, she became a teacher in a school in Dongguan, Guangdong Province. Her brother is one year older than her and works in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. In 2020, both brothers and sisters harvested love. They made plans early and went back to their hometown for the New Year with their respective partners.
More than a month ago, Ceng Min and her boyfriend booked a high-speed train ticket from Dongguan to Enshi on January 25th. Her brother is going to return home on February 5.
Ceng Min’s parents are very happy to learn that the children are going home for the Spring Festival. Her father worked in Jiangsu, and went home more than a month in advance, renovated his home, installed air conditioning, and bought new quilts and shoes.
A few days before leaving, Ceng Min saw that all parts of the country called on everyone to celebrate the New Year on the spot, and most of her colleagues chose to stay. She couldn’t help but feel a little tangled. After much deliberation, late at night on January 24th, she withdrew her high-speed rail ticket and decided to stay in Dongguan for the New Year.
On January 25th, Ceng Min got up the courage and told his parents his decision. At the other end of the phone, my mother’s tone was full of disappointment: "How can you spend the New Year outside alone …"
To Ceng Min’s comfort, her brother was very supportive and he decided to stay in Zhongshan for the New Year.
A foreign land also has a taste of hometown.
These days, the Zhang Zhongyi family’s necessities are getting more and more every day. His parents bought two native chickens in their hometown and sent them by express delivery. This is his wife’s favorite food when she first went to her hometown with him. Zhang Zhongyi’s mother also specially called to teach him to cook chicken soup and stir-fry chicken. A big box full of express delivery, as well as homemade bacon, lotus roots, sweet potato chips …
My parents-in-law also sent many hometown delicacies to the young couple: beef, mutton, pig’s feet … The refrigerator at home was stuffed to the brim. "When eating New Year’s dinner, I will definitely make a big table dish and take a video for the elders of both sides to reassure them." Zhang Zhongyi said cheerfully.
Huang Hua
Huang Hua also received new year’s goods from his brother. He can’t wait to open the package, bacon, sauerkraut, etc. have been washed clean, and he only needs to fire and heat, and he can taste the happiness from his hometown.
"My brother asked me to open my mouth and said that he would send it after eating." Huang Hua told reporters. These delicious hometowns satisfied his appetite and made him miss his relatives in his hometown more.
Yang Tianchen, who has always loved to eat lard noodles, received 5 kilograms of lard and 2 native chickens from his mother, as well as more than 20 kilograms of meat, vegetables and radishes from his mother-in-law. "I don’t have to buy new year’s goods this year, I have everything ready." He said with a smile.
The rice cake made by my mother is Tian Xiujuan’s favorite, and the bacon in my hometown also reminds her. In order to make her daughter’s family have a delicious year, her mother, who is far away from home, sent Tian Xiujuan bacon, rice chaff, dried potato chips, local honey and fried rice … After receiving a heavy package, Tian Xiujuan was in a particularly good mood and carried it back to her home on the fourth floor.
Ceng Min’s brother and sister also received the New Year’s goods delivered by their parents. "Bacon, sausage, kang tofu, bean skin … and a vacuum-packed braised pork." Ceng Min introduced. These things, all made by my mother, are smells that can’t be bought outside.
"Next year, we can definitely go home for the New Year." Ceng Min said. No matter where you spend the New Year, your hometown is always a concern for wanderers. She hopes that when the spring blossoms and the epidemic dissipates, she will return to her hometown and reunite with her relatives.
Reporting/feedback

Girls or men, the beauty of women should not be simply defined.

On August 1st, Gong Lixiao won the women’s shot put in Tokyo Olympic Games, which was the first gold medal of China track and field team in this Olympic Games. After the game, CCTV reporters said in an interview with Gong Lixiao that "Gong Lixiao left me the image of a woman man", and even in the interview, they asked "What are the plans for the girl’s life next?" "What about the boyfriend?" "I think he may not be able to beat you in wrist wrestling", and the interview in just a few minutes caused a heated discussion.

In the interview, the reporter seems to set the female man against the girl, but isn’t the female man also a girl? Is it only the "white, thin and young" wrapped by traditional aesthetics that is the beauty of women? Of course not. The beauty of women is not single, let alone defined by traditional aesthetic values. Gong Lixiao, as a shot putter, may not be thin, but it doesn’t mean that she is not beautiful, that she doesn’t have the right to love beauty, and that she can’t belittle the feminine beauty in her body at will. Gong Lixiao’s self-confidence, persistence and persistent pursuit of dreams shine on her, which is the strength of women and the beauty of a healthy and confident woman.

In an interview in 2015, Gong Lixiao said, "This year is the 15th year for me to practice shot put. After all, we are girls, especially when we go out, we will pay more attention to our image. But when many people see us at ordinary times, they all say’ Look at this big fat man’. Some of them don’t know us and think we are not in good shape. " Although this sentence is slightly bitter, Gong Lixiao said it with a smile. It’s not that they don’t love beauty and don’t want to be the so-called "girls" in the traditional sense. Gong Lixiao once lost 30 Jin, but her performance declined seriously because of the weight loss. In order to keep her grades, she began to gain weight, and she kept her weight only to get better grades.

After this Olympic shot put final, when asked whether she would retire, she said, "I will keep practicing until I can’t, as long as my country needs it." Gong Lixiao, 32, who has participated in four Olympic Games, touched us. We have seen divers with beautiful nails painted on the springboard of Tokyo Water Sports Center, sprinters with red hair flying in the track and field, and women’s volleyball players who were stabbed with pink hair on the court. They are female athletes and girls. They show the world the unique strength and speed of women. They confidently radiate the light and beauty of women.

"What about the boyfriend?" This is not exclusive to Gong Lixiao, but a question that many female athletes will be asked. When Yang Qian was interviewed after winning the championship twice, he was asked many times about choosing a spouse. The three-person women’s basketball team made history and won the bronze medal. Yang Shuyu, born in 2002, could not escape being questioned about the criteria of mate selection. Is the "end point" and focus of girls’ lives marriage? Of course not. Girls’ lives should not only be about love and marriage. Women also have glory and dreams, and also have the right and strength to keep fighting. Their lives should not be held hostage by looks, marriage and family. They belong to themselves, and they also have unique life values, which is the true beauty of women.

We expect the public’s eyes to stop focusing on their private lives and pay more attention to their achievements and strength: Yang Qian not only has nails and hair clips, but also the strength of world champions; Yang Shuyu is not only handsome, but also has super ability; Guo Jingjing is not only a rich daughter-in-law, but also a diving queen. The strength of these women is enough for them to stand side by side with men, and they also shine, which is the light of women and the beauty of women.

Nowadays, the beauty of women is no longer limited to the beauty of appearance under the traditional aesthetic of "Lin Daiyu style", and the strength of women is rising. Women are playing their important roles in all walks of life and becoming an indispensable part of society. Not only female athletes, every girl has the right to love beauty and the freedom to pursue beauty, but the beauty they pursue is diverse and beauty should not be defined by a single standard. Girls should not be confined to traditional aesthetics. The beauty of women can’t be denied because of their appearance. The beauty of women can’t be judged and examined by anyone. The beauty of women can only be defined by themselves.

We long for the beauty of women to be no longer solidified by a single criterion. We hope that more people will accept the diverse beauty of women. We call on the society to give more tolerance and love to women and let girls shine.
