Hundreds of varieties, thousands of sweets

Among all the varieties of grapes in Turpan, people divide grapes into three categories: fresh eating, winemaking, and drying according to the thickness of the peel, the aroma of the pulp, the sweetness of the taste, the vitamin content and the nutritional content.

Seedless white, horse milk, Turpan red grape, lady red, flame seedless, and other grapes with thin skins and sweet and delicious gravy are primarily used for fresh food.
And those varieties with thick skin and sour taste, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Dragon Ball, Merlot, Chardonnay, Semillon, Syrah, etc., will be used for brewing and brewed into rose fragrances and other wine species.
The peel and pulp are easy to separate, and the seedless white, rose fragrance, excellent seedless, and drunk gold fragrance with solid fruit flavor will be made into raisins by grape farmers.

In addition to eating fresh, brewing, and drying, grapes have medicinal properties. The medicinal variety is called Haloxylon grape, which can be used for tea and wine after drying. It is mainly used to treat diseases such as measles in children. But compared with most varieties, the Haloxylon grape has a small planting area and low yield.

If you want to eat fresh, seed-free white may be the first choice to consider.
Of all the grape varieties, Seedless White, also known as “White Seedless”, is one of the oldest grape varieties. It has been cultivated in Turpan for nearly 600 years.
The causal body is small, the color is emerald green and crystal clear, plump and round, the pulp is transparent, and the seedless white is also known as the “green pearl”.
In terms of taste, the seedless white skin is thin and tender, and there is no need to spit seeds and skins. More importantly, the seedless white skin has a gratifying sweetness, with a sugar content of up to 20-24%.
In the summer afternoon, wash a bunch of them and eat them one by one, how delicious!

In addition to the seedless white, Xinjiang’s Bolicui(玻璃翠) is also worth eating. Like the seedless white, it belongs to the variety of “no need to spit out the grapes to eat grapes”.
The scientific name of Bolicui is Frey seedless grape, the fruit is purple or bright red.
Because of its small size, crystal clear, full grains, crispy and sweet flesh, and full of juice, it is like a seductive red pearl in the sun, so it is called glass emerald.

If you want to taste the high-quality raisins in Xinjiang, Hongxiangfei grapes will bring you the most intense sweetness.
The red fragrant concubine raisins produced in the Turpan Basin of Xinjiang on the side of the Tianshan Mountains were a tribute to the emperor and fragrant concubine during the Qianlong period.
Hongxiangfei raisins are rare varieties with extremely low yields. The pulp is thick, the color is wine red and transparent, and the tip of the entrance teeth will leave a fragrance similar to roses, sweet and sour, with endless aftertaste.

Delicious brewed by sunshine and wind

Due to the long transportation time and the fact that most of the fresh grapes are not easy to store due to their thin skins, and the time to market for fresh fruits is relatively short, the flavor of Turpan grapes is mostly in the form of dried fruits, that is, raisins, which are tasted by diners from all over the world.

Turpan’s raisins are dried in a special way. In Turpan, the local grape farmers will use the four-sided ventilated lattice building built of earth blocks – the shade house. This kind of building is a raw soil building for Portuguese farmers to make full use of the light and heat resources of the Turpan Basin to dry raisins.

In Turpan, almost every grape farmer has built such a drying room. There are many wall holes on the four walls of the building, and in the middle is a bracket made of wooden sticks. After grape farmers pick, they will put the mature seedless grapes on the brackets. Under the action of hot air, in summer, fresh grapes will pass for 30-40 days. It can be air-dried into raisins.

Using the hot air of the shade house, the raisins are naturally shaded, and the color of the fruit is still bright green, the flesh is soft, the food is sweet and sour, and the color and taste are excellent. It is a treasure in the domestic dried fruit.

On June 25, 2003, the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine approved the implementation of regional product protection for “Turpan raisins”.

Millennium Planting History

Turpan has a long history of grape cultivation. In the third century AD, Turpan had records of grape cultivation. “North History Gaochang Biography” has Turpan records of “more five fruits” and “more grapes”.

Previously, an ancient grape vine was discovered by archaeologists in the Yanghai Ancient Tomb in Shanshan County, Turpan City.

Viticulture does not depend on planting but on the asexual reproduction of vines.

Nurbiya Ablimiti, a lecturer at the Turpan Museum, said: “Archaeological experts tested this precious plant specimen and found that it is a grape with red fruit, round grains, and purple. It has a history of 2,300 years and is the earliest specimen of cultivated grapes found in my country.”

Today, Turpan has become the main production base of grapes in China. The total grape production accounts for 52.84% of the whole Xinjiang, which is one fifth of the whole of China.

Behind its reputation, it benefits from the superior geographical planting conditions of Turpan.
The Turpan Basin is called “Fire Island”, surrounded by mountains on all sides, the mountains in the north block the cold air from the south, and the desert the Gobi on the east, south, and west sides of the city make the warm air in the north extremely dry, making it a famous dry and hot place in the country. The basin is also dry and less rainy. The annual sunshine hours are 3200 hours, the annual effective accumulated temperature is above 10 °C, and the effective accumulated temperature is above 5600 °C. The average annual precipitation is 16 mm, and the evaporation is more than 3000 mm, up to 5200-5900 megajoules per square meter.

Thin cloud cover, strong solar radiation, and extremely high temperatures together form abundant light and heat resources. Coupled with the large temperature difference between day and night, it is easy to accumulate sugar in plant fruits.

In addition, the soil in Turpan is irrigated soil, irrigated silt soil, aeolian sandy soil, flavor-aquic soil, and improved brown desert soil that are very favorable for grape growth. The soil has good permeability, low salt content, and is slightly neutral. Finally, the unique geographical location also makes Turpan rich in groundwater reserves.

To sum up, the environmental characteristics provide unique conditions for the production of characteristic grapes.

The sweet life of Portuguese farmers

Since 2016, Turpan City has begun to promote grape variety improvement and frame transformation, vigorously implement the quality and efficiency improvement project of the forestry and fruit industry, and promote scientific planting technology.
In an interview, Ayia Mugulhalik, director of the Forest and Fruit Technology Promotion Center of Gaochang District, Turpan City, introduced the local efforts to improve the standardized planting of grapes: “We must take the road of standardized grape planting, and carry out a variety improvement and self-transformation. We raised the root column to more than 1.7 meters, and the small column to more than 1.9 meters, so as to ensure ventilation, lighting, pruning, and mechanized operations, in order to grow high-quality grapes.”

At present, Turpan City has completed the transformation of nearly 70,000 mu of grape fields. It has greatly improved the yield and quality of grapes and has also been favored by consumers.
In addition, the local area has also built five grape theme parks integrating picking, tasting, and playing through the “grape + tourism” model. The renovated vineyard has also become a tourist check-in place for many tourists.

In addition, Turpan has continuously adjusted and optimized the grape planting structure to promote the quality and efficiency of the grape industry, which not only doubled the sales of local fresh grapes and sold them at a good price but also attracted many wine-making technology enterprises to take root in Turpan.
At present, there are more than 40 wine brewing enterprises in the local area, which can produce more than 200 varieties of wine. The annual output has reached 20,000 tons, and it has begun to occupy a certain share in the country.

In the next step, Turpan will vigorously promote standardized production management technology to ensure the optimized structure of grapes and stable production. With the industrial model of ‘grape + tourism + leisure experience + culture + e-commerce platform’, we will create a composite business format with grapes as the core, integrating vineyard sightseeing, cultural leisure, and eco-tourism, so as to increase farmers’ income and increase industrial efficiency. “

The grape industry also promotes the development of the logistics and e-commerce industries in Turpan. Turpan continues to accelerate the development of the cold chain logistics industry and has formulated and issued a series of “Implementation Plans for Promoting the Coordinated Development of E-commerce and Express Logistics in Turpan” and “Implementation Opinions on Promoting Online and Offline Interaction to Accelerate the Innovation, Development, Transformation, and Upgrading of Commercial Circulation” and so on. Policies and measures to promote the development of commercial and trade logistics. Transform the conditional advantages of the modern logistics industry into development advantages.

At present, Turpan is speeding up the construction of agricultural e-commerce service sites. There are 205 e-commerce enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in the city. Many e-commerce service points have built exhibition halls that highlight ethnic customs, displaying various Turpan-specific agricultural products such as raisins and tourist route books.

Yangshan Peach was once praised by the “Wall Street Journal” as “the most delicious peach in the world”, especially its exclusive ability – you can drink fresh and rich peach juice directly by inserting a straw on the peach.

Yangshan peach that can be drunk

Just like the principle of “people are raised by their soil and water”, the growth of peach has high requirements on the environment. Different environments, different planting methods, and different picking standards will produce different flavors.

“Le Taotao, the scenery of Taihu Lake is good; sweet honey, Yangshan peach”. Yangshan peach, produced in Yangshan Town, Wuxi, has the reputation of being “Queen of Fruits”.

In 2003, it has obtained the registration of geographical indication products of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

Yangshan peach is large in shape, beautiful in color, rich in aroma, juicy, and sweet, it melts in the mouth, and has the reputation of “flesh made of water”. The peach pulp contains 8-13% sugar, 0.2-0.9% organic acid, and rich nutrients such as protein and inorganic salts.

According to the time of maturity, the Yangshan peach can be divided into early-ripening peaches in June, mid-ripening peaches in July, and late-ripening peaches in August. Among them, the high-quality early peach varieties are mainly Yuhualu, Jinghong, Chaoyang, and Richuan (雨花露、京红、朝阳、日川); the high-quality mid-ripening peach varieties are Baifeng and Hujingmilu (白凤、湖景蜜露); the high-quality late-ripening peach varieties are mainly Wanhong Lakeview and Qingpi Lakeview(晚红湖景、青皮湖景).

The most worth looking forward to in the Yangshan peach in July is the Baifeng (白凤) and the lake view (湖景). As the backbone of medium-ripening peach, Baifeng is also the most beautiful peach variety in Yangshan peach. The lake view can be said to be the pinnacle of Yangshan peach, and it is also called “the most delicious peach in the world” by the “Wall Street Journal”.

The most outstanding thing is that its peach flesh melts in the mouth, and it can even be sucked directly with a straw when it is ripe. Therefore, it has a reputation as a “straw peach”. The weather is hot, the sweetness of the cauliflower seeds is high, the top is easy to rape, and it is not resistant to transportation. The truly cooked lake view can only be tasted locally in Yangshan, so that you will never forget it.

The best drink from Yangshan

Yangshan Peach is one of the four famous peach-producing areas in China, with a history of seven hundred years and a history of cultivation for nearly a hundred years.

From the bridge couplet of Luxu Bridge built in the third year of Baoqing (1227), it can be seen that as early as the Song Dynasty, peach trees are planted in the front and back of Yangshan folk houses. Planting peach trees is a spring scene where peach blossoms are in full bloom on both sides of the strait. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the “Yulushuimi” was introduced by Tan Mengtao from Fenghua, Zhejiang, and the “Baifeng” and “Chuanshilang” was brought back from Japan by foreign students Yin Zhi were cultivated in the Yangshan area. By the 1930s, the foothills of Yangshan Mountain had filled Taoyuan. At that time, boxed fine peaches appeared, which became precious gifts for relatives and friends. In the mid-1950s, in addition to local supply, peaches in Yangshan dominated the fresh and processed peaches market in Shanghai. Gradually loved by consumers at home and abroad, it sells well in major cities along the Shanghai-Nanjing line and is exported to Hong Kong, Macao, and Southeast Asia.

The main reason why Yangshan peaches are so excellent is related to the local unique natural climate and volcanic geological conditions. Yangshan is located in Yangshan Town, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, on the shore of the beautiful Taihu Lake.

Located in the transition zone from north subtropical to central subtropical, the climate is warm and humid, with sufficient sunshine, abundant rainfall, and a long frost-free period. Summer is a subtropical climate, hot and rainy. June is the wettest month, which is conducive to the early growth of peach; July and August are sunny and have high temperatures, which is conducive to improving the sugar content of peach.

Its peach central production area is around the four hills of Dayang Mountain, Xiaoyang Mountain, Changyao Mountain, and Lion Mountain. Among them, Dayang Mountain is an ancient volcano formed billions of years ago. The crater still maintains its original appearance. The ancient volcanic ash soil layer is rich in minerals and various trace elements, so the Yangshan peaches planted are rich in nutrients and especially sweet. On February 26, 2020, the Yangshan Peach Advantage Area of Chinese Characteristic Agricultural Products in Huishan District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province was identified as the third batch of advantageous areas of Chinese characteristic agricultural products.

Peach is a symbol of happiness and longevity, and the peach culture has been deeply embedded in the customs of Wu.
Since 1997, Yangshan has successfully held the Yangshan (International) Peach Blossom Festival for 25 consecutive years.
With centuries-old academies, thousand-year-old temples, 10,000 mu of peach forests, and 100 million-year-old volcanic resources, Yangshan peach culture is permeated with a kind of humanistic spirit. It has spirituality and warmth and is full of strong local flavor and cultural characteristics.
Yangshan peach has become a fragrant and sweet “city card” of Wuxi.

Peaches are sold well, and the people of Yangshan are sweet

After decades of development, the Yangshan Peach brand has become well-known both at home and abroad. Every year from June to June, it will be sold out. In 2021, the output of peaches in Yangshan Town will reach 18,300 tons, with an output value of nearly 500 million yuan, and the per capita disposable income of farmers will reach 59,000 yuan. It is expected that the overall output of peach in 2022 will increase by about 20% compared with last year, and the sales price will be basically the same as in previous years, which is really gratifying news for the local peach farmers.

The quality of Yangshan peach is widely recognized without strict control from planting to transportation and sales. All levels, industries and all walks of life in Wuxi have taken pragmatic measures, ranging from technical support, financial support, peach farmer training, logistics guarantee, The protection of rights and interests and other aspects will break through the blocking points and help farmers become rich.

A high-quality Yangshan peach first requires a fair complexion in terms of “face value”, and its maintenance secret is “bagging”.

Every year after Xiaoman, the peach farmers start a new round of busy work, first pruning and thinning to select high-quality fruits, and then bagging. The effect of a small layer of “yellow shirt” is not small. It can not only protect the beauty of peach, prevent sunburn, fruit cracking, and insect and bird damage, but also avoid pesticide pollution and improve storability.

A tree generally needs 200 to 300 bags, and the bags used are special paper bags for peaches, which do not contain any pesticide ingredients. The technique of bagging is related to the appearance and physique of the peach. A skilled master can complete 5,000 bagging times a day, greatly improving the quality of the fruit.

In addition to continuous innovation and breakthroughs in the planting process, Yangshan Peach has also continued to make technological attempts in the sorting and packaging process of peach, and intelligent transformation has become a new support point.
This year, Wuxi Taihu Yangshan Peach Technology Co., Ltd. launched a new intelligent peach sorting equipment.

The round and soft rubber fruit tray carefully hold the peaches one by one through the sorting equipment. The equipment automatically classifies the peaches according to their size, weight, roundness, sugar content, and other indicators.
The peaches selected by the machine are uniform and of high quality, which greatly reduces the labor of manual sorting for peach farmers. The digital and intelligent selection of peaches increases the speed by 30%. On average, 183 peaches can be sorted in 1 minute, and the screening volume can reach 3 tons in 1 hour during the peak period.

Affected by the pandemic, peach farmers encountered the problem of “difficulty in selling”, and Wuxi city, district, and town levels actively coordinated resources,
set up Yangshan Peach Transshipment and Distribution Center in Shanghai Fresh Processing Center, Beijing Xinfadi, Guangzhou Jiangnan Fruit Market, Hebei Gaobeidian, etc., relying on the town collective enterprise platform to open a green channel, adopting the method of double closed-loop distribution of cold chain vehicles, and transports the peach “point-to-point” to the distribution centers in various places, and then the local delivery staff directly delivers it to customers, the logistics driver does not leave the cab throughout the process, which not only meets the needs of customers but also reduces contact, ensuring smooth sales of peach.

Sweet Peaches Achieve Landmark Brand

Yangshan Town draws its connotation from peach culture and actively promotes the deep integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism by relying on festival activities.

Peach farmers process peach wood handicrafts to realize the “fission reaction” from peaches to primary products such as preserved fruit and peach wine, to peach carvings, peach blossom tea, peach blossom mask, and other high-value-added products.

In 2021, there will be many “events” in Yangshan Town. After 25 sessions, the Peach Blossom Festival has gradually evolved into a large-scale comprehensive cultural event integrating flower viewing, tourism and leisure, economic and trade cooperation, and cultural exchanges. The mountain half marathon, the college student sketch tourism festival, the peach music festival, and other special festivals, and the introduction of high-quality cultural tourism projects such as the Sunac Yangshan parlor, further expand the popularity and reputation of the Yangshan Resort.

In the first half of the year, the number of visitors to the resort reached 1.28 million, a year-on-year increase of 62%, and the revenue of the cultural tourism industry increased by 40% year-on-year. The Yangshan Peach Blossom Festival was awarded the title of “China’s Outstanding Contemporary Festival”.

This year, the project sponsor of the Jiangsu Intellectual Property Strategy Promotion Plan project announced that the geographical indication of “Yangshan Peach” has won the Jiangsu Provincial Geographical Indication Cultivation and Protection Project”, the only one in the city.

The government will gradually formulate the “Yangshan Peach” geographical indication development plan, promote the integration of geographical indications and related industries, explore the “GI+” development model, and promote the integration and mutual promotion of geographical indications and related industries such as tourism, cultural and creative industries, and the Internet. Through the development model of “Peach-Peach Culture-Peach Industry”, the government promotes the integrated development of related industries and realizes rural revitalization.

July is beginning, and the aroma of peaches in Yangshan is getting stronger and stronger. If you can visit Yangshan to taste fresh and delicious peaches and feel the simple and fresh peach culture, it will be a wonderful thing!

The price of kimchi, which is essential on the table of Korean people, has also risen sharply. Meanwhile, South Korea’s imports of Chinese-made kimchi have surged.

According to the price information released by the Korea Agriculture and Fisheries Food Circulation Corporation on the 25th, the price of cabbage on that day reached a maximum of 9,330 won (about 48.5 yuan), and the national average retail price was 7,189 won (about 37.4 yuan).

According to reports, since July, the price of cabbage has skyrocketed. This month’s average price of cabbage was 5,251 won (about 27.3 yuan), 27% higher than in June and 55% higher than last July.

The Agricultural Observation Center of the Korea Rural Economic Research Institute stated that the reason for the recent increase in cabbage prices is that the planting area of ​​cabbage has decreased compared with last year, coupled with the impact of severe weather such as high temperature, resulting in a poor cabbage harvest. It is expected that the price of cabbage will continue to rise in August.

The price of white radish, which is known as the “two main ingredients for making kimchi” along with cabbage, has also risen sharply, according to the World Daily. In July, the average retail price of a white radish was 2,400 won (about 12.5 yuan), which was 16% higher than that in June and 36% higher than that in July last year.

According to the report, since the beginning of this year, the prices of raw materials for making kimchi, such as cabbage, radishes, and seasonings, have all risen sharply, and the price of self-produced Korean kimchi has also risen sharply. The high price of self-produced kimchi has burdened Korean consumers and the restaurant industry, so South Korea has begun to import Chinese-made kimchi in large quantities.

According to statistics on import and export trade conducted by the Korea Customs Service, the import volume of kimchi in May this year was 24,845 tons, an increase of 17.4% year-on-year in May last year, most of which came from China.

“World Daily” reported that the price of raw materials for kimchi produced in South Korea will remain high for the time being, and the import volume of kimchi produced in China is expected to continue to increase.

A Korean housewife told the “World Daily” that she wanted to buy some cabbage at the community market to pickle kimchi at home, but picked 3 pieces of cabbage but was charged 20,000 won (about 104 yuan). She picked up the cabbage and put it down, repeated several times, but in the end, she didn’t buy it and returned empty-handed.

“Mongolian milk tea, called ‘Sutaiqie’ in Mongolian, uses green brick tea, which is made from Hubei Laoqing tea (belonging to dark tea), the soup is bright red and yellow, and the tea is mellow.” Manager Hasigowa and the employees started busy at four in the morning. “First brew the green brick tea, boil it in boiling water, raise the tea juice 81 times to fully release the tea aroma, and then clarify the tea juice for use.”

Brick tea is rich in vitamins and trace elements. The brewed Mongolian milk tea not only has the functions of quenching thirst and hunger, warming the stomach, and helping digestion but also supplements nutrition for herdsmen who lack green vegetables.

In Mongolian homes, after morning tea, the hostess will warm the remaining milk tea on a small fire so that the family can drink it at any time.

“Drink when I eat, drink when I’m thirsty, and drink when I’m tired… It can provide me with the energy I need throughout the day.” Balaji Nyima, a herdsman who has lived on the Hulunbuir grassland since he was a child, said that his every day all starts with the milk tea brewed by Eji (Mongolian, mother).

Walking into Hasgaowa’s milk tea shop, you will be greeted with the aroma of milk, tea, and rice.

Each table has a small copper pot, milk skin, milk tofu, milk chewing mouth (the upper layer of milk curdled milk), dried meat, fried rice, butter, butter, fruit sticks (a kind of Mongolian fried pasta), and more than a dozen kinds of milk tea” Companion” for you to choose.

Traditional Mongolian milk tea is not based on cups or bowls, but in terms “pots”. One pot is compatible with Ulan id (Mongolian, meat) and Chagan id (Mongolian, dairy).

Fried rice, is known by many as the “soul” of Mongolian milk tea. It is processed by steaming, frying, grinding, and other processes. It is fragrant and refreshing, and it can satisfy hunger and resist hunger.

Put the butter in a hot pan to dissolve, add the fried rice and stir fry, the creamy fragrance and rice fragrance instantly wake up the cells of the whole body. I saw the waiter Sazhuola skillfully put the tea juice, fresh milk, and salt into the pot in proportion. After they were perfectly blended, they stirred the cream and added the milk skin, milk chews, milk tofu, dried meat, and fruit strips.

Wang Zhi, a Taiwanese tourist who came to the store to taste tea, said with emotion that among all the taste bud experiences in Inner Mongolia, Mongolian milk tea can best make people feel that “life is like the first time”.

As “the mysterious tea on China’s ancient Silk Road”, brick tea originated in the Taihe period of the Tang Dynasty, and there is a record in “Tang History” that “eat cheese, not tea to get sick”. For hundreds of years, tea, milk, and meat have not only become the daily necessities of people in northwest China but also exported to Mongolia, Japan, Russia, Britain, Malaysia, and other places through the ancient Silk Road.

By the 17th century, Chinese brick tea had cultivated a stable and huge consumer group in Russia and many European countries. Following the ancient Silk Road, a 14,000-kilometer-long international ancient commercial road, the “Wanli Tea Road”, which starts from China in the east and ends in Russia via Mongolia, connects Eurasia again.

According to Deng Jiugang, vice chairman of Wanli Tea Ceremony Association (China), Guihua City (the old city of Hohhot), which was at the center of the Qing Dynasty at that time, gathered hundreds of merchants. The most famous company, Dashengkui, had nearly 20,000 camels at their peak. The camel team transported tea and other commodities between the vast grasslands and deserts.

For thousands of years, the Mongolian people have never changed their way of drinking tea with a mixture of brick tea and milk. The pure white and sweet milk “encounters” the green tea, which is used for digestion and greasy relief.

“It would be better to have no meals for three days than to have no tea for one day.” In ancient times, Mongolians who were addicted to tea could exchange a piece of brick tea for a sheep or a cow. “The milk tea culture of the grassland people is to drink the fragrance of tea, milk, and hearty friendship.” Jiao Yongxing, a researcher at the Inner Mongolia National Food Culture Research Institute, said that Mongolian milk tea concentrates the essence of grassland humanistic etiquette from ancient times to the present.

Today, the hospitable Mongolian family still has to offer milk tea first to the guests. It is disrespectful to have no tea or not to brew new tea, and it should be regarded as “full of tea”.

In the evening, after three cups of tea, the herdsmen played their beloved matouqin, and the singing lingered on the grassland.

On July 20, Liu Jing (pseudonym), a staff member of Harbin China Travel Service, introduced to the reporter that the most popular Hulun Buir houses are the platinum rooms of 23,999 yuan and the purple gold rooms of 26,999 yuan.

The ticket price of the New Oriental Express, which was operated earlier, was from 28,999 yuan to 51,999 yuan.

A ticket costs 20,000 to 50,000 yuan, with all-inclusive board and lodging

On July 3, the trial operation of the Hulunbuir tourist train was completed, and the first official passenger train was dispatched on the same day, which lasted 5 days and 4 nights. The reporter learned that the Hulunbuir city government provided the train, the Harbin Railway Bureau provided the lines, and Xingjing Tourism had the right to use and operate.

Earlier, on June 9, another light luxury tourist train, the New Oriental Express, was dispatched from Urumqi Station, detouring the southern and northern Xinjiang, opening a 16-day Xinjiang loop.

Different from ordinary trains, the two tourist trains are light-luxury routes, and both belong to “all-inclusive” travel products. The whole car is equipped with a double bed, desk, wardrobe, safe, independent toilet, and shower room, and provides services such as dining chairs, bars, KTV, children’s playground, etc. It also includes attractions, hotels, and catering consumption that passengers can enjoy at the destination.

According to the introduction information of Hulun Buir provided by Harbin China Travel Service, its investment-inviting brands include Shede Wine, Louis XIII, AHAVA skin care products, and Sterford bedding products.

At the same time, the number of tourists that can be carried by the two trains is small. The Hulunbuir has a total of 12 carriages and 22 rooms, with only 44 seats fully loaded. It is equipped with 20 train personnel serving 22 rooms, with a service-to-customer ratio of 1:2.2; there are 13 passenger carriages on the New Oriental Special Train, which can carry 160 people. There is about 50 service staff in total, and each accommodation car is equipped with a butler.

According to public information, the fare for the 5-day, 4-night Hulunbuir trip is divided into 3 grades of 18,999 yuan per person for the golden room, 23,999 yuan per person for the platinum room, and 26,999 yuan per person for the purple room. The price of the New Oriental Express also varies according to the standards of the carriage suite and the ground food, accommodation, travel, shopping and entertainment. The lowest price is 28,999 yuan per person and the highest is 51,999 yuan per person.

The high ticket price has discouraged many consumers. Many netizens said that “it’s too expensive“, “it’s better to travel by car”, and “I’m tempted, but my wallet is empty.”

The more expensive the room, the better

It is worth noting that despite the high ticket price, the occupancy rate of the two tourist trains is still high. Some dealers even said that “the more expensive the house type, the better it will sell.”

On July 20, Liu Jing, a staff member of Harbin China Travel Service, told the Red Star Capital Bureau that the best-selling house type was the middle-tier platinum house, followed by the more expensive Zijin house and the cheapest gold house.

“The difference between the three room types is similar to the three-star, four-star, and five-star hotel.” Liu Jing said, “Our customers are people who are the very pursuit of quality, mainly in their 30s and 40s with certain economic strength. In fact, people who are willing to spend more than 20,000 yuan to buy a ticket will not pay too much attention to the two or three thousand.”

According to Times Finance and Economics, Xu Wenjing, the head of the train operator, once said that the more expensive shops on the Hulunbuir tourist train sell better.

Xu Wenjing said that at present, the occupancy rate of the “Hulunbuir” that opened in early July is 80% or above, and the age distribution of the customer group is 30-55 years old, including young and middle-aged couples with children, and silver-haired people. And many of the tourists are from Zhejiang, including Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Taizhou. There are about 30 groups and more than 60 guests from Zhejiang in July and August.

The same goes for the New Orient Express. The staff of Xinjiang China Travel Service told the reporter that within half a month, the golden diamond carriages for the whole year were fully booked. The main customers are middle-aged and elderly customers in their 40s and 50s. “It takes a long time to play in Xinjiang, and young people may not have that much time.”

The cost of the train transformation is as high as 30 million yuan

Why is the price of travel trains so expensive? An important reason is that the cost of vehicle modification remains high.

On July 20, an insider in the industry introduced to the reporter that the New Oriental Express tourist train is a 25GAC380V body, which will be transformed into a factory in 2020. There are a total of 8 carriages with 8 capacity and 10 carriages with 28 capacity. More than 10,000 yuan/section (8 staff), more than 1.6 million yuan/section (28 staff). After marshaling, the New Oriental Express has a total of 13 carriages, and the overall renovation cost is more than 30 million yuan.

In addition, the body of the Hulunbuir is also 25GAC380V, and the transformation cost of each carriage is also more than one million yuan, but the specific figures are not convenient to disclose.

The person familiar with the matter said that this is only the cost of the transformation of the train, excluding operating costs such as employee wages.

Some tourism practitioners said that in addition to the New Oriental Express and Hulunbuir, as China’s railway resources become more and more abundant and in-depth leisure experience tours are popular, in the past two years, many tourism companies have cooperated with railway departments and local tourism bureaus to develop special tourism trains. However, the investment in building such a tourist train is relatively large, and the cost of capital and time is not low. It is not easy to create one or two trains that are truly “out of the circle”.

The Wusun Ancient Road passes through the Tianshan Mountains. The hiking route starts from Turks County, Ili, Xinjiang in the north, and reaches Baicheng County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang in the south. Along the way, you can see alpine meadows, canyons, snow-capped mountains, rivers, etc., and the beauty of Paradise Lake is even more impressive.

From June to September every year, many ALICE pals cross this ancient road on foot. Recently, some netizens posted on the Internet that some tourists left garbage everywhere after camping on the shore of Paradise Lake.

In addition to food packaging bags and beverage bottles, there were even deflated inflatable boats and gas tanks. However, some netizens also posted that the garbage has since been cleaned up and transported away.

The reporter noticed that many netizens did post pictures and videos on outdoor forums and other social platforms to expose the garbage left by tourists on the shore of Paradise Lake.

A video shows that some workers are putting garbage into bags and putting them into a helicopter parked next to them, ready to transport the garbage away.

On July 23, a netizen who claimed to be the team leader posted that he had just taken tourists out of the Wusun Ancient Road. When he arrived, the piles of rubbish in Paradise Lake had been cleaned up, but there was still a lot of rubbish scattered in Paradise Lake.

The reporter contacted the deputy director of the Turks County Branch of the Ecological Environment Bureau of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture on the 23rd. He said that he knew about the matter. The garbage in Paradise Lake is currently being handled by the Cultural and Tourism Bureau.

According to the deputy director of the Turks County Cultural and Tourism Bureau who is in charge of handling the matter, Paradise Lake is an undeveloped scenic spot, but at present, helicopters are sending tourists there every day, and the garbage has been transported out by helicopters.

In addition, they will also remind the tour leader and herdsmen who lead the team into the mountain not to let tourists throw rubbish.

The most expensive variety, “Zengcheng Hanging Green”, costs 2,098 yuan per kilogram, and the prices of several other varieties are also several hundred yuan per kilogram.

On July 15, 2022, as a supplier of green lychees in SKP shopping malls, Wu Yuhui, general manager of Sanbai (Guangdong) Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. and vice chairman of Guangdong Litchi Industry Alliance, told the reporter that the price of lychees in the mall was clearly marked, consumers can buy voluntarily.

Wu Yuhui regards this controversy as an excellent opportunity to promote high-end lychees. Taking advantage of the popularity, he posted a short video on social platforms, holding a string of “hanging green” in his hand, which could sell for about 2,000 yuan.

Wu Yuhui once worried that the lychees he brought would be less popular after they were delivered to SKP due to the high price.

“We brought all the most precious lychees in Guangdong, Zengcheng hanging green is one of the varieties, including our Bingli, Yuli, Guanyin green, Xianjinfeng, and glutinous rice cakes. On the first day, these products were put on the shelves, they won the first fruit sales in the whole store.” He was a little surprised when he learned this data.

The salesperson in the shopping mall told reporters that although hanging green is expensive, many people are looking for it. Wu Yuhui analyzed that this is because the mall gave Litchi the most conspicuous position, and he also made a “free trial” notice on social platforms in advance. “When we landed, the official announcement made a vibrato, and some people came to see lychees.”

“This green hanging is a lychee of 555,000 yuan that we shot, and it is the top card of our Guangdong lychee.” In the previous video, he deliberately threw out this number to arouse people’s curiosity. According to reports, “Zengcheng Hanging Green” was sold at a price of 555,000 yuan in a charity auction in 2002, setting the Guinness World Record for “the world’s most expensive fruit”.

July 9 is the first day that lychees are on the shelves. People, who come to the booth usually ask Wu Yuhui, “Why there are so many varieties of lychees?” “Why is this variety so expensive?” “Can you try it?” He observed at the scene that many of the customers who came to the scene were “housewives” who came with their children. He encouraged them to try it. “Some customers told me after eating that they were delicious in their mouths.”

Most people just buy a box and bring it to their family to taste. Some people bought five boxes at once. “The five boxes add up to more than 5,000 yuan.” He said, “That should be the boss, and it is used as a gift.”

The reporter came to the fresh food supermarket on the basement level of SKP on July 15. As soon as he entered the door, he could see all kinds of lychees displayed on the long counter on the front right and even a small “Xianjinfeng” lychee tree. The salesperson on the side said that the most expensive “Bingli” is now at about 699 yuan per pound, and “Hanging Green” was sold out in two days.

Converted down, the “green” sold by SKP shopping malls costs about 60 yuan per piece. But Wu Yuhui said that this price is not the most expensive. In Zengcheng, large lychee over 25 grams can be sold for 100 yuan.

Previously, their “green” was mainly sold in the form of e-commerce. “We can buy our lychees on Douyin, Kuaishou, and Pinduoduo. Normally, some local fruit farmers also sell them online.” The reason why he did not cooperate with offline shopping malls, Wu Yuhui said frankly, “Most supermarkets are reluctant to purchase. They have cooperated with Hema Fresh Food before, but they have not introduced ‘green’.”

On the evening of July 14, the reporter searched on the e-commerce platform with the keyword “Zengcheng hanging green”. The reporter contacted the store and found that the above-mentioned businesses are basically “self-produced and sold”, and they are the second and third generations of “hanging green”. A “green” shop owner told reporters that he specializes in planting green and owns 3 trees, but the output is very low, so he sells 388 yuan per catty, mainly to Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and other places. “Generally, individuals come to buy more, and they are used as gifts.”

The person in charge of purchasing at another high-end boutique supermarket told reporters that it is difficult to sell “green” offline, because of the scarcity of supply, it cannot be supplied for a long time, and it cannot meet the normal distribution of the store. “And it’s expensive, and it’s not suitable for sale in stores.”

This time, “hanging green” in the shopping mall is due to a special opportunity. Wu Yuhui said, “We previously participated in a promotion event held by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in Xinfadi, Hebei. ‘Three hundred grains’ was one of the five participating companies in Guangdong Province. At that time, the head of Beijing SKP procurement tasted us. I brought all kinds of lychees from the past, and after several inspections, I decided to try a new batch of our lychees.”

For this sale, Beijing SKP ordered a total of 1,000 kilograms of lychees, and the first batch of 250 kilograms has been sold out. Wu Yuhui returned to Guangdong to replenish. “But because the weather in Guangdong is too hot, some goods cannot be supplied, and the lychees may ripen too quickly.”

The sales results this time gave him a lot of confidence, “We found that the people in Beijing actually have a great demand for this high-quality agricultural product, and we also told us in the opposite direction that if the agricultural products are grown well, if they have good quality, they will be good. The price has also boosted our entire industry.”

In the opinion of the above-mentioned supermarket purchasing managers, the situation is not so optimistic. “The SKP consumer group is different.” For ordinary consumers, the “green” price is still too expensive.

They once did a pre-sale in June 2022, selling four rare lychee varieties with scarce yields such as “Huanglu”. The market price of 900g “Huanglu” was 999 yuan. The pre-sale price was almost 50%, and it only sold for 449 Yuan, and the remaining three are priced at two or three hundred yuan. However, the effect was not satisfactory, and the total sales of the four kinds of lychees were “less than one million”.

This immediately sparked discussions among netizens. Some Hanfu fans believed that this was a “proper cultural appropriation”, while others recognized Dior’s reference. “The horse-faced skirt does not have intellectual property rights, nor is it an intangible cultural heritage.”

The horse-faced skirt is a typical skirt style popular for Han women in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is often matched with the big cardigan worn on the top. It has a fixed structure as a whole – two-piece type, four skirt doors, four skirt doors are overlapped two by two, the sides are pleated, and the smooth surface formed by the overlapping of the middle skirt doors is the “horse surface”. And the controversial Dior dress, you can see the obvious two-piece, pleated design.

At present, Dior has not responded to public opinion. The Chinese official website has removed the dress, but the foreign official website is still selling it at a price of 2,700 pounds.

One of the most famous Hanfu skirt styles

In early 1981, the young Diana was announced as the royal bride and entered the palace with the newly engaged Prince Charles to meet members of the royal family. That night, she was wearing a white silk blouse with lace trim, and a red silk embroidered horse-face skirt on her lower body. The contrasting colors of red and white, mixing Chinese and Western styles, were novel and festive.

This is the highlight of the horse-faced skirt on the modern international stage. In recent years, driven by the popularity of Hanfu, it has also become one of the most familiar skirt styles in Hanfu.

The first Hanfu general book “General Theory of Hanfu” published in October last year wrote that the horse-faced skirt was once the most basic style of women’s skirts in the Ming Dynasty. The way of wearing is changed from “one-piece” to two overlapping pieces at the front and the back, which makes it easier for the wearer to move around. The “glossy” front and back of the skirt is suitable for displaying exquisite craftsmanship.

Many cultural and museum institutions have unique horse-faced skirts in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as the white dark-flowered yarn embroidered bird-pattern skirt from the Shandong Museum, the blue tangle of four seasons flowers and gold makeup damask skirts, and the lush green makeup flower yarn python skirt.

Due to the existence of many Hanfu in the Ming Dynasty, merchants restored many elegant and luxurious skirts. Hanke Silk Road’s Ming-made Hanfu imitation Confucius’s makeup, woven, gold, lace, blue satin skirt and horse-faced skirt, the prototype is from the old collection of Confucius, and the price is close to 3,000 yuan. Another Ming Huatang, which is famous for its Ming system, has also launched a dozen or so styles, such as the lion play ball, the crane, the chili and the hibiscus, and the secretly woven gold gauze skirt. The price is 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. The current construction period has been scheduled until after October.

These historically inherited Hanfu sometimes amazes the stage of national style variety shows, giving people a sense of solemnity. of ordinary people. Since 2019, on Weibo, Douyin, Station B and other platforms, the popularity of Hanfu has been advancing all the way, and many Hanfu culture festivals have appeared in various places. Hanfu has also grown from a niche hobby to a tens of billions market.

Data from iiMedia Research shows that from 2015 to 2020, the sales scale of China’s Hanfu market has increased significantly from 190 million yuan to 6.36 billion yuan.

International interpretation of Chinese style

As early as 1997, the genius designer John Galliano used a lot of Chinese elements in his first spring and summer haute couture show when he took office at Dior. These eye-catching oriental beauties cast aside stereotypes, stylish and interesting.

Supermodel Kate Moss is wearing a yellow polka-dot modified cheongsam with grey-blue lace elements on the neckline and skirt; Bruni, the former French president’s wife, wears a small stand-up collar and a matching golden bead chain. Small lanterns took to the T stage, showing just the right hollow sexy. The models came out one by one, with willow-leaf eyebrows, blushes transitioned all the way from the eyes, and the retro hairstyles were full of playfulness, style and arbitrariness.

In 1997, this haute couture show has been “appointed god” in the hearts of Chinese style lovers. This is also the place where the public is puzzled by Dior’s plagiarism incident: it is obviously not the first time that Chinese style has been touched, why did it “overturn”?

Some people in the fashion circle have analyzed that the reason why Dior called this skirt a “signature silhouette” of the brand should be that its A-shaped silhouette with a narrow top and a wide bottom is in line with the brand’s first “New Look” in the 1950s. After World War II, Mr. Dior took the lead in emphasizing the feminine curves of waist and wide skirts, which formed a strong contrast with the menswear style during the war and became a classic fashion style.

In the opinion of fashion blogger Shiyin, Dior’s dress is indeed consistent with the unique structure and version of the horse-faced skirt. For someone who has proposed “who owns the copyright of Hanfu? No copyright can not prove plagiarism”, she believes, Clothing, as a practical item, is difficult to protect by copyright, which is why there are so many “porters” in the fashion industry. Although Dior does not legally constitute plagiarism, the more serious problem is cultural appropriation. “As a big brand with sound volume, Dior belongs to a relatively strong individual, while Hanfu, as a relatively niche culture, is weak.”

According to HSBC analysts’ calculations, Dior’s sales in 2021 will reach 6.28 billion euros, contributing 10% of the parent company’s LVMH group’s total revenue and 13% of group profits. In front of the undisputed top luxury brands, the tens of billions of Chinese clothing industry is aphasia.

In fact, the Chinese style has always been a classic source of inspiration in the world of high fashion. In the 2019 Elie Saab Paris autumn and winter haute couture show, the designer integrated the large sleeves, plackets, embroidery, etc., which are common in traditional Chinese clothing, into the haute couture dress, and local Chinese designers and brands spared no effort to bring Hanfu elements to the top Show. The “Fashion Oscar” Met Gala held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the theme of 2015 is “China: Through the Looking Glass”.

There were 113 passengers and 9 crew members on the plane. Fortunately, all passengers and crew members were evacuated safely, and the injured passengers were all slightly injured.

However, the plane was badly damaged, and it was horrific to see from the pictures of the scene.

On July 26, 2011, Tibet Airlines, which had been in preparation for more than six years, took off from Lhasa and made its maiden flight to Ali, opening the road to the development of the first high-altitude airline in China.

At the beginning of its establishment, Tibet Airlines was 51% held by Tibet Autonomous Region Investment Co., Ltd., the other 39% was held by Tibet Sanli Investment Co., Ltd., and Tibet Ruiyi Investment Co., Ltd. held 10%.

Tibet Autonomous Region Investment Co., Ltd. belongs to the Tibet Autonomous Region Department of Finance, and the major shareholder of Tibet Sanli Investment Co., Ltd. is a real estate company, Sichuan Sanli Real Estate Co., Ltd. Judging from the industrial and commercial registration information, this real estate company is a family business, and Tibet Ruiyi Investment Co., Ltd., a minority shareholder of Tibet Airlines, is also its concerted action.

Later, Air China spent 86.8 million yuan to purchase 31% of the shares of Tibet Autonomous Region Investment Co., Ltd., becoming the second shareholder of Tibet Airlines, and selected a number of outstanding pilots, flight attendants, and engineering technicians to support Tibet Airlines. Layers are also from Air China.

For example, its first chairman Xu Bo and second chairman Cheng Yiru have served as general manager of Air China Tibet Branch and General Manager of Air China Southwest Branch respectively.

In 2020, Wei Boping, who used to work at Qinghai Airport, succeeded Cheng Yiru as the chairman of Tibet Airlines, while Bai Weisan, the general manager, is still from the Air China department and served as the vice president of Shandong Airlines and the general manager of Beijing Air Catering Company.

After Air China took a stake in Tibet Airlines, Tibet Sanli Investment, a private enterprise, became the single largest shareholder of Tibet Airlines due to the dilution of the equity of the Tibet Autonomous Region government. However, the appointment of officials of Tibet Airlines is still up to the autonomous region government.

For example, the cadre meeting held by Tibet Airlines in August 2020 was presided over by the vice chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Region. The deputy director of the Organization Department of the Party Committee of the autonomous region announced the appointment of the main leaders of Tibet Airlines and nominated Wei Boping as the chairman candidate.

After all, the combined shareholdings of Air China and the Tibet Autonomous Region can still absolutely control Air Tibet. However, Air China’s control over Air Tibet does not seem to be as strong as it is in Shandong Airlines and Shenzhen Airlines.

Although the vice president of marketing of Tibet Airlines is still appointed by Air China, since September 1, 2019, Air China and Tibet Airlines have “separated” in terms of frequent flyer programs.

The Tibetan Airlines plane that suffered the accident was an Airbus A319 aircraft known as the “Little Prince of the Plateau”, which is also the largest in the Tibet Airlines fleet.

At present, Tibet Airlines has a total of 27 Airbus A319 aircraft, 6 Airbus A320 aircraft, and 5 Airbus A330 wide-body aircraft. 60% of the routes it operates are also plateau routes.

Because it is more difficult to fly high-altitude flights, the pilots of Tibet Airlines also have a “reputation” for high salaries in the industry.

Years ago, a captain mentioned in an article about pilot salaries: “In theory, the revenue of Tibetan Airlines is the highest in the civil aviation industry. The problem is that there are many routes on the plateau of Tibet Airlines, and the hourly fee on the plateau (the main part of the pilot’s income, which is paid according to the flight time) is doubled or even tripled. But I don’t envy it. It’s not good. The difficulty of flying has increased exponentially (the consideration of obstacle-surmounting performance on the plateau, the special handling plan, the unpredictable strange wind, the attenuation of the aircraft’s power under low pressure, the entanglement between the high plateau take-off speed, and the excessive wheel speed… …), the rapid change of air pressure in a short period of time every day is very harmful to the body (Once, I had a cold, and my nose was not breathing, but I still insisted on flying, which caused aviation otitis media. I went home for a week to recuperate. Another time, I went flying within seven days of having my wisdom teeth extracted, and my face was swollen due to bleeding from the teeth.) High altitude overnight will cause hypoxia in the human body, sleep well, and the blood oxygen concentration will change when you wake up the next day. The job of a pilot is not easy, and the high-altitude pilots deserve more money.”

According to industry sources, despite the raging COVID-19 pandemic last year, Tibet Airlines still gave all staff a salary increase, and the salary has been relatively stable since the pandemic. In addition to a slight loss last year due to the pandemic, Tibet Airlines has also been profitable in the past few years.

Tibet Airlines’ good benefits are related to its unique route network structure.

Although it is registered in Tibet, the main base of Tibet Airlines is in Chengdu, and Lhasa is the sub-base.

According to the flight manager big data platform, in 2021, among the 20 busiest routes of Tibet Airlines, 10 will involve Lhasa, and 8 will involve Chengdu, of which the Chengdu Shuangliu-Lhasa Gonggar will have the most flights.

In April 2019, Tibet Airlines also opened its first international long-haul route, becoming the first domestic airline to fly directly to Helsinki, Finland, but the departure city is not its own base, but Jinan.

However, the route had been flying for less than a year before it ceased operations after the outbreak.

In 2014, Tibet Airlines also “going overseas” to Nepal and established a new airline: Himalaya Airlines.

At the beginning of its establishment, Himalaya Airlines was established by Tibet Airlines and Nepal Airlines, with Tibet Airlines holding 49% of the shares. At that time, it was also the first Chinese airline company to invest in air transportation in Nepal.

In 2015, Himalaya Airlines made its maiden flight to Colombo, and successively opened several routes to China from Kathmandu to Beijing, Guiyang, Changsha, Shenzhen, and Chongqing, as well as more than ten routes to Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

In 2019, by opening the Kathmandu-Beijing Daxing route, Himalaya Airlines became the first foreign airline to enter Beijing Daxing Airport.

At present, Himalaya Airlines has a total of 4 aircraft, including 3 A320 and 1 A319 aircraft. Affected by the pandemic, only some passenger-to-cargo flights are operated on routes to China.

However, in 2021, the A319 aircraft of Himalaya Airlines had gone to Lhasa Airport for a test flight and had obtained the Lhasa Airport operation specification license. It plans to open the Kathmandu-Lhasa route after the pandemic.

According to Tibet Airlines’ “14th Five-Year” development plan, it is expected that by the end of 2025, the company’s fleet will reach 60 aircraft, operate 140 routes, employ more than 7,000 people, and have total assets of more than 26 billion yuan.

On May 11, she told the reporter that at the beginning, she was a person who could not even comb her hair together. In order to perform Yang Guifei, she followed the video to learn how to braid her hair for three days.

“I hope my performance can bring joy and beauty to everyone, and at the same time let the excellent traditional culture spread better.”

Wang Yu said that since her role as Concubine Yang became popular on the Internet, many tourists come to the scenic spot to take photos with her every day.

“I am very happy to be recognized and loved by everyone. Since May 1st, netizens from all over the country have come to take pictures with me. At night, when netizens meet me on the way home after getting off work, they will ask me to take pictures, although I was already very tired. But after all, people came all the way, hoping to fulfill their wishes.”

The reporter learned that this Xi’an girl is 28 years old this year. She has been engaged in the design of dim sum culture in the Tang Dynasty.

About a year after graduation, she was diagnosed with a disease. After more than 4 years, because she had to take a lot of hormone-containing drugs, her weight also increased from about 65kg to nearly 100kg now.

It wasn’t until last year that she listened to a doctor before switching her treatment plan. “I was originally an optimist, but occasionally I feel inferior because of my weight. During this period, I have been losing weight, conditioning my body, and wanting to maintain a healthy state.” Wang Yu said, with the persuasion and encouragement of friends and family, Gradually she overcame her weight anxiety and slowly accepted herself as she was.

Wang Yu said that her mother had helped her the most along the way. “She has been worrying about my body and will give me medicine every morning and evening. I have been busy recently, and my mother has been working as an assistant in my life. Usually, she may be bored at home alone, but the scenic spot is lively, and traveling with me every day will make her happier. “

Wang Yu said that she spends at least three hours alone every morning doing makeup, hair, and clothing, and she works about 9 hours a day. In order to maintain her makeup, she will try to choose foods that are easy to swallow for her lunch.

“Many fans are waiting. They don’t have much time to eat. They will be very tired after a day’s work. Because they have to laugh all the time, their faces are sore after getting off work.”

Back in the winter of 2019, Wang Yu wore Hanfu for the first time, “Actually, some friends around me often say that I am very suitable for Hanfu, and some people say that I am the real version of Yang Guifei, so I also gave myself a ‘杨贵肥’ name.”

Since then, Wang Yu has fallen in love with Hanfu and began to study and research related makeup, headdress, clothing selection, matching, etc. Now, she has five or six sets of Hanfu.

“I mostly study online from professional video tutorials or ancient costume TV series clips, or even a certain beautiful dance clip. I used to be a person who couldn’t even put my hair together. In order to teach me how to dress up as Concubine Yang Guifei, I watched the video for three days.” Wang Yu said.

It is understood that Wang Yu has his own shop of Tang Dynasty dim sum culture in Xi’an Tangfeng Shijing Life Experience Street.

On April 30, the “Twelve Hours of Chang’an”, the Tangfeng Market Life Experience Street, is open to the public. Wang Yu will perform the making of Tang Dynasty dim sum and calligraphy display for tourists every afternoon. Wang Yu said with a smile that recently, her work focus is on the twelve o’clock performance in Chang’an, including taking pictures with fans.

Wang Yu said that she thought the most difficult part of playing Concubine Yang was the piano, chess, and dance. “I’m studying art, and painting and calligraphy can be well displayed, but I haven’t had any contact with dance and chess before, and I will pay attention to research in my future roles.” Seeing her popularity on the Internet, Wang Yu’s friend once said that she finally got through. “The products I made before have not been noticed by everyone. This time I played Yang Guifei not only to promote the scenic spot but also to attract attention to the products I designed. The two complement each other.”

Wang Yu believes that her role as Concubine Yang is entertainment first, and her original intention is to bring happiness to everyone and spread traditional culture better.

“Of course, I have also been studying history, and I also stay up late to watch tutorial videos. Learning is a process. I hope I can be closer to the character in the future, and I also hope to make better cultural and creative products around Chinese culture.”

On the 8th, three wild boars ran around in the community and burst into the residents’ garden. The community security captain injured his left leg when driving the wild boars.

Yesterday, Ms. Yu reported to reporters that their home was also attacked by wild boars. “My husband and wild boars had a desperate fight.”

The wild boar that attacked their home was the largest of the three wild boars that had made a fuss in Taoyuan Town the day before. “It is estimated to weigh more than 50 Kilograms.” After being driven from Luyun Garden, the wild boar broke into her home after escaping into Bernshire.

Ms. Yu’s house is a townhouse on the east side. She only lived in it in 2018. Her son works in Shanghai, and she usually lives there with her husband.

Around 8:50 the day before yesterday, Ms. Yu’s husband, Mr. Yu, was planting roses in the yard. “It was almost done. I stood up and walked to the steps. Outside the yard, a big wild boar stood looking at me, and I take a look at it, too.”

Mr. Yu recalled that he saw blood on the wild boar’s mouth.

The wild boar broke an iron railing, ran into the yard, and rushed towards Mr. Yu who was standing on the steps.

“It must have been frightened, like crazy, rushed over, grabbed my hand, and held on, I shook my hands a few times and broke free from the boar. The wild boar chased again, I ran to the side, picked up the scissors for flower branches, the head of the scissors was broken, and they were not very sharp. I waved the scissors, the wild boar kept staring at him, and the scissors probably poked its head and face. “Yesterday, when Mr. Yu recalled the scene at that time, he still had lingering fears.

“I was thinking of letting it go out quickly, but it chased me. The iron gate of our house was pulled inward. I didn’t have time to do such a pull.” Mr. Yu said, he ran down the steps to open the door. The wild boar rushed over, he and the wild boar fought a few more times, finally opened the iron door, escaped, and hid behind the car outside the yard.

Ms. Yu closed the door immediately and saw the wild boar through the window, and the wild boar rushed towards the house.

At 9:03, Ms. Yu called the police. She heard a banging sound from the south gate, “It was hitting the glass door on the south side. Two doors banged and the glass door was knocked open.

Fortunately, Behind the glass door is the dining table. The dining table was blocked, and the glass door didn’t fall to the ground.

When the wild boar hit it, I waved to my husband, and he hurriedly ran from the yard into the room.

“Later I received a call from the police. The police said that the wild boar had run away from your house, but I still dared not come out. It took a long time before I went out.”

Mr. Yu is in his 50s and strong. This time, because of panic, he lost one of his shoes as he ran away.

“One shoe was full of blood and it was soaked. I was carrying the shoe, and the blood was dripping down.” Ms. Yu said that her husband’s hands and feet were bloody at the time.

At 9:25 in the morning, the 120 ambulances arrived, and Mr. Yu was sent to the Yuhang District of the First Hospital of Zhejiang University.

The emergency doctor said that the rabies vaccine should be administered first, and he rushed to Yuhang Third People’s Hospital in Pingyao.

After the vaccine, he returned to Zhejiang University. The Yuhang District of the first hospital had a debridement operation, and it was late at night after the operation.

After diagnosis, Mr. Yu’s right index finger was fractured, and he underwent steel nail fixation.

“The doctor said that the teeth of wild boars are very poisonous. I was worried about infection. The debridement operation was performed on a relatively large area.”

Mr. Yu had torn and biting wounds on both hands, his hands were swollen to a high degree, and his knees and calf shin were injured in many places.

But on the evening of May 2, on Jufengyuan Road in Shanghai, more than 3,000 people participated in a special wedding, and everyone happily “dine at the banquet”. In the end, the bride and groom spent 0 yuan.

Not only that, more than 300 people made plans for the wedding during the Covid-19 pandemic. A core team of 16 people was responsible for the execution, including make-up artists, photographers, emcees, directors, editors, and venue decorators. It has all the procedures a wedding should have. After the wedding, drones hovered over the community, and residents sang “Tomorrow will be better” and shouted, “Shanghai, come on.”

This wedding is a gift dedicated to the volunteer couple by more than 3,000 residents in the whole community. The bride Qi Liangliang, who has only been in Shanghai for six months, said that her hands were shaking with excitement, and she and the groom couldn’t sleep all night: “I feel so much warmth in Shanghai, a city that was originally unfamiliar to me.”

A message for help prompts residents across the community to help

“Which family has double happiness or festive accessories? We will hold a wedding with our parents in our hometown on May 2. We want to arrange a little arrangement in the rented house. Please help me to ask.”

On the evening of April 29, Qi Liangliang sent a brief WeChat message to the volunteer mutual aid group in Xuelinyuan Community, Jufengyuan Road, Shanghai. She did not expect that after dozens of minutes, this news was like a fuse, which ignited the atmosphere of the entire community.

28-year-old Ji Pengcheng and Qi Liangliang are tenants in the Xuelinyuan Community. They are both from Yancheng, Jiangsu. Ji Pengcheng is studying for a doctorate at the Baoshan campus of Shanghai University next door to the community. Qi Liangliang resigned from a stable job in a state-owned enterprise in her home country in the second half of last year in order to follow Ji Pengcheng, and became an employee of a car company headquartered in Hongqiao Business District.

Qi Liangliang came to Shanghai less than half a year ago, and when she was not fully familiar with the city, the sudden outbreak of the Omicron pandemic disrupted all their plans.

Since March 4th, Xuelinyuan Community has been closed for 10 days. On April 1st, with the overall closure and control of Puxi, all residents have entered a state of staying at home. Qi Liangliang and Ji Pengcheng became volunteers in the community, but they couldn’t keep one thing in their minds-the wedding was originally scheduled to be held at the hotel in their hometown on May 2.

With the continuous extension of the lockdown, by the end of April, it is no longer possible to go back to the hometown to hold the wedding.

“May 2 is an auspicious day. The family hopes that we will not change the time.” Qi Liangliang said that the family finally jointly decided to hold the wedding by video.

The rented house lacked festive decorations, so Qi Liangliang sent the WeChat help message to the volunteer group when the wedding was approaching.

For the first minute, no one responded. After a while, a volunteer replied, “Although I don’t have any decorations, I would like to give my best wishes.” At this time, Qi Liangliang didn’t hold out much hope.

Soon, however, dozens of volunteers forwarded Qi Liangliang’s WeChat message to various buildings in the community. Residents in the entire community began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to see if there were any suitable accessories at home.

Some people took off the big red double happiness that was attached to the refrigerator when they got married, some people found a heart-shaped candle, some people took out their treasured champagne, and some people said that they would cut out the flowers they planted in the yard and tie them into a bouquet for the bride…

A resident immediately opened a new WeChat group and issued a call: “Those who want to help the bride and groom, scan the code to enter this group, and let’s find a way together!”

In just a few tens of minutes, more than 300 people poured into the group, and everyone posted the happy items they found: a pair of bear dolls, buckets for children and grandchildren, red wine glasses, and their wedding dresses.

At this time, someone else suggested that why not hold an online “cloud wedding” that all residents of the community participated in as a gift to the volunteer couple?

More than 300 residents spontaneously plan “cloud wedding”

Sasha, who lives in Xuelinyuan Community, is an HR of a company. Her usual job is to be in charge of personnel recruitment. On the evening of April 29, when she saw in the group that everyone was going to hold a “cloud wedding” for the newlyweds, she took the initiative to undertake the recruitment work.

“To recruit makeup artists, post-editors, and drone aerial photographers, the requirements are…” Sasha sent out one after another recruitment notices in the group. What is surprising is that there are indeed “hidden dragons and crouching tigers” in the community, and soon there are professionals applying for each position, each performing their duties.

At 0:36 on April 30, just three or four hours after the bride Qi Liangliang sent her WeChat for help, Wang Siyu, a resident of the community, wrote the first version of the “Cloud Wedding” plan: the online emcee introduces the bride and groom and the parents of both parties, broadcast online video of wedding photos, add photos of two people’s growth, bride and groom serve tea to their parents online, collect video of cloud blessing from neighbors, relatives, and friends, use Tencent meeting to be responsible for the process, and have a live broadcast on Douyin platform.

Qi Liangliang and Ji Pengcheng like “Da Hua Xi You”. Last year, they made a special trip to the Northwest to take a set of wedding photos in the desert. When the wedding planning team in the community learned about the situation, they specially arranged for a poster designer to create an online invitation in the style of “Da Hua Xi You”, and it is designed to play “Da Hua Xi You” music at the wedding.

“When I saw the news that the wedding planning group was quickly swiping the screen, I was indescribably excited that night. My mother asked me to write down the things everyone gave me, and when the pandemic is over, I should return them one by one. I took a pen. My hands are shaking.” Qi Liangliang said that the residents of the community kept planning until one or two in the morning that night, and she and the groom hardly slept all night.

The couple met and fell in love in 2013. After 9 years of love running, Qi Liangliang gave up a stable job. Ji Pengcheng is also willing to help Qi Liangliang with everything and take care of her. Getting married is a big event for them. Originally, they wanted to hold a grand wedding in a five-star hotel in their hometown, Yancheng, Jiangsu. They planned to spend more than 300,000 yuan. The style is the ancient style that Qi Liangliang likes.

Because the wedding was not possible due to the pandemic, they felt a little regret and loss in their hearts, but the “cloud wedding” sent by the residents of the community together dissipated all the regrets.

The love between Qi Liangliang and Ji Pengcheng also touched all the neighbors. Everyone chose the wedding time at 5:20 pm on May 2, which means to bless the love of the newlyweds together.

“Cloud Buffet Dinner” has more than 200 dishes

May 2 is the day when the planned wedding will take place. Will this “cloud wedding” organized by residents spontaneously online achieve the desired effect?

With the approval of the neighborhood committee, Qi Liangliang and Ji Pengcheng can use the volunteer work area on the second floor of the community clubhouse to hold a short ceremony after the volunteer service work that day. During the pandemic, volunteers in the community put on and take off protective clothing and disinfected there. On May 2, the volunteers organized the work area and arranged it into a simple wedding venue.

Residents in the community rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find happy products. After unified registration, volunteers came to pick them up and disinfected them in a unified manner. Finally, they packed two entire boxes and delivered them to the bride Qi Liangliang.

The online live broadcast process of the wedding has gone through three or four rehearsals. The residents have also invited Lao Zhang, a technologist who lives in other communities, as the director of the background operation app to ensure that the live broadcast can be carried out smoothly.

Among the residents of Xuelinyuan Community, someone sent an invitation letter and a wedding video clip to warm up the wedding at 5:20 in advance.

At the beginning of the wedding, there were only the bride, groom, emcee, and photographer in white clothes, and everyone else watched the ceremony from their homes. In the volunteer work area, simple tripods formed two fixed positions with different angles, which were broadcast live to more than 3,000 people in the community.

“In the past month or so, all the residents of Xuelin Garden have worked together to fight the pandemic, and the dawn of victory is just around the corner! In this special period, we have encountered a great event, and a couple of newcomers in the community are about to welcome theirs. Newlywed life.” The wedding started on time, and the tightly wrapped emcee said.

“Hello everyone, I am Ji Pengcheng, the lucky groom today.”

“I’m the lucky bride Qi Liangliang.”

A pair of newlyweds wore dresses and masks on stage. At the same time, a large number of residents rushed into the app instantly, and the technical veteran Zhang in the background was nervously switching the screen to ensure the best live broadcast effect.

What the bride and groom did not expect was that the residents of the community recorded a blessing video in advance. Each family only had three seconds to show their faces, but the entire video was 6 minutes long. In the video, a little boy put on a suit and held roses in his hands to send blessings, a little girl wore a dance dress to perform a dance, a pair of twin children wished for a happy wedding, and a resident played a piano piece.

At the wedding, the bride cried several times, and even the mother of the bride who was far away in Yancheng couldn’t help crying.

In the barrage, some residents left a message saying that they were also in tears, and some single people said: “This is really true that lovers are married, and a single man witnessed it with his own eyes.”

After the short ceremony, on the way home for the bride and groom, residents along the way stood on their balconies and sent their blessings to them. Some people cheered up the balloons in advance, let the children wave them on the balcony, and the old people shouted: “You must be together forever and grow old together!”

For a time, the entire community was surrounded by the sound of blessings, and even the pet dogs kept barking incessantly.

At this time, it was dinner time in the evening, and the residents were all “eating” and posting their own food. “I’ll have an iced cola and fried chicken to celebrate.” “Cloud buffet, family, more than 200 dishes.”

The pandemic evokes the most real warmth in Shanghai

Liu Yinbin, an associate professor at the School of Management of Shanghai University, also lives in Xuelinyuan Community. He loves the life here. He once published a book “Jufengyuan Road is a Happy Street”. Many people just read Liu Yinbin’s book before choosing to buy a house and settle down on Jufengyuan Road.

Liu Yinbin’s book wrote: Jufengyuan Road is a little-known street in Shanghai, but this road has everything from kindergartens, primary schools, and middle schools to universities. More than 30,000 students from Shanghai University have injected infinite vitality into this street. There are both Starbucks and Walmart here, as well as street stalls and dark dishes. There are both professors and working girls living here.

The pandemic has changed this road. The liveliness and prosperity of the past disappeared, replaced by a whole month of silence and depression. However, the warmth between the neighbors has also returned. The residents here were busy and met every day but did not know each other. During the pandemic, their mutual help aroused their enthusiasm.

“Actually, not long after I came to Shanghai, I only lived in this community for half a year. When I told my family in my hometown, they were all very surprised, how could the neighbors in the community be so nice? This is the most special wedding, and I will never forget it. Xuelinyuan.” Qi Liangliang told the first financial reporter.

There is such a line in the movie “Da Hua Xi You”: My crush is an unparalleled hero, and one day he will appear, wearing golden armor and holy clothes, and stepping on colorful clouds to marry me.

After the wedding, the residents of the community changed the group name to “Colorful Clouds”, and they were all waiting for the day when the haze in Shanghai dissipated.

“Illegal construction and ecological destruction of liquor companies in the Chishui River Basin occur from time to time, posing a threat to the ecological environment of the basin.” On March 18 this year, the Central Second Ecological Environmental Protection Inspectorate Group pointed out to Guizhou Province that the water quality of the mainstream Chishui River is generally stable at the surface water class II standard, but some river basins and regional ecological environment problems are still relatively prominent. Among the 11 tributaries of the Chishui River flowing through Maotai Town, Zunyi City, 4 of them are of inferior V class.

Behind the ecological problems is industrial chaos. The inspection team pointed out: “Renhuai City’s implementation of the relevant industrial development regional layout planning is not strict, and the illegal use of land is restricted and standardized development areas, and construction without approval are prominent. Since 2020, Jinjiang Wine Company has illegally occupied forest land twice. It was investigated and dealt with, and some mountains and woodlands were destroyed.”

The tributaries were black and smelly

The Chishui River originates from Zhenxiong, Yunnan, with a total length of more than 500 kilometers. It is an important tributary of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Many brands such as Maotai, Langjiu, and Luzhou Laojiao have been bred on both sides of the river, so it is known as China’s “Beautiful Wine River”. Renhuai City is a regional central city in the Chishui River Basin and a core production area of ​​the world’s high-quality Maotai-flavor liquor.

Chishui River has made liquor enterprises, and liquor enterprises have driven the local economy. The materials provided by Renhuai City show that Renhuai is the origin and main producing area of ​​Chinese Maotai-flavor liquor, and the liquor industry is Renhuai’s leading industry and an important economic engine. In 2021, the city will achieve a regional GDP of 156.449 billion yuan, its economic aggregate will rank 12th among the top 100 counties and cities in the country, and its comprehensive strength ranks 4th among the top 100 western counties. In 2021, there are 106 liquor enterprises above the designated size in the city, and the total output value of the liquor industry will increase by 29.9% year on year; the packaging volume of liquor will be 197,800 kiloliters, a year-on-year increase of 31.5%.

While the Renhuai liquor industry is developing rapidly, the pollution problem of the Chishui River is frequently reported in the newspapers. On July 26, 2021, the official website of the Department of Ecology and Environment of Guizhou Province released an article “The pollution of the Renhuai section of the Chishui River in Zunyi City still remains, and the regional environmental problems are prominent”. The article stated that in April 2021, the seventh ecological and environmental protection inspection team of Guizhou Province inspected Zunyi City and found that the liquor industry in Renhuai City developed disorderly, and the pollution control was not well promoted.

“The 2019 National Yangtze River Economic Belt warning film revealed that the liquor enterprises in Renhuai City were discharging excessively, the centralized sewage treatment facilities were not operating normally, and the tributaries of the Chishui River were seriously polluted. The waste water pollution control of the liquor industry will be completed before the end of the year, and the water quality targets of Class III will be achieved in each stream.” The seventh ecological environmental protection inspection team of Guizhou Province criticized and pointed out that the inspection team found that the Renhuai Municipal Government and relevant functional departments did not plan well. Liquor enterprises developed disorderly, pollution control progressed slowly, and the pollution of various streams and ditches remained, and regional environmental problems were prominent.

The provincial inspection team pointed out in April last year that there are 1,690 liquor companies in Renhuai City, of which 778 are in production in 2021. In 2021, among the liquor enterprises in production in Renhuai City, the cooling water is mainly water-cooled. According to the requirements of relevant standards and regulations, cooling water must be collected and treated and reused, and the reuse rate is not less than 80%.

“However, except for a few companies such as Moutai Liquor Co., Ltd., which built cooling water circulation treatment systems as required, most of the remaining liquor companies built simple cooling pools on roofs and factory areas, which failed to meet relevant standards and specifications. The cooling water with high temperature and high concentration is directly discharged into the external environment, increasing the pollution load of each stream.” The official website of the Guizhou Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment criticized several companies. The cooling water of Renhuai Wenyang Wine Industry Co., Ltd. was discharged directly, and the water quality was black; the cooling water pipe network of the Jincheng Wine Industry was disorganized, and external drainage pipes were set up; the cooling water collection pool of Jinmao Ancient Winery had wastewater overflow.

Qiu Shuyi, dean of the College of Brewing and Food Engineering of Guizhou University and director of the Guizhou Provincial Key Laboratory of Fermentation Engineering and Biopharmaceuticals, said that in the past, the sewage treatment capacity of Renhuai City was limited, and some wineries were not standardized, and some were in order to save money. There is the phenomenon of sewage discharge to the Chishui River, especially in the rainy season, this phenomenon is more prominent. In addition, some enterprises did not have anti-leakage and anti-seepage devices in their cellars, which resulted in the extravasation of cellar bottom water.

Official monitoring data shows that the water quality of Shiba River, Renxi Valley, Lanjiawan, Yuanmuyan and Shengli Valley, the tributaries of Chishui River in Renhuai City, all exceeded the standard. From January to March 2021, the COD (chemical oxygen demand) of Lanjia Bay is as high as 251mg/L; the COD of Renxigou water quality is as high as 165mg/L, both of which are inferior to Class V water quality. The inspection team believes that some liquor companies have weak awareness of environmental protection, frequent violations of laws and regulations, and the situation of water pollution prevention and control in some creeks in the Renhuai section of the Chishui River is severe.

Many wine companies “get on the bus first and then make up the ticket”

In the relevant circulars of the environmental protection inspection teams of the central government and Guizhou Province, it is mentioned that many local wine companies have problems with the building before approval.

Inspectors from the seventh ecological and environmental protection inspection team of Guizhou Province found that there are still 20 production enterprises in the prohibited development zone planned by Renhuai City that has not yet been relocated. After random inspections, some liquor companies have illegally occupied land, and environmental impact assessments have been “built before approval”. Bayi Liquor, Xixiangfeng Liquor, Jinjiao Liquor, etc. were put into the construction without going through the approval procedures for land use; Maotai Town Collection Liquor, Maoding Liquor Co., Ltd., and Jinmao Ancient Liquor Phase II project did not go through the environmental impact assessment procedures. The second central ecological and environmental protection inspection team pointed out that since 2020, Jinjiang Wine Industry has been investigated for illegal occupation of forest land twice, and some mountains and forest land have been destroyed.

According to the official website of Jinjiang Liquor Industry, the company is only separated by a river from Kweichow Moutai Distillery. In 1996, “Jinjiang Wine Industry Co., Ltd., Maotai Town, Renhuai City, Guizhou Province” was established. In 2013, it reached a strategic cooperation with Hangzhou Wahaha Group and established Lingjianguo Wine Co., Ltd., Maotai Town, Renhuai City, Guizhou Province. The company currently has an annual production capacity of more than 5,000 tons of high-quality Maotai-flavored wine, covers an area of ​​more than 300 acres, and has more than 350 employees. According to the data, Wang Hongbin, chairman of Jinjiang Wine Industry, has won honors such as “Guizhou Wine Craftsman” issued by the Guizhou Provincial Federation of Trade Unions.

“China News Weekly” investigated and learned that the above-mentioned unapproved pre-construction project refers to the “Maotai Town Maotai Wine Valley” project developed and invested by Jinjiang Wine Industry, which started construction on the morning of November 3, 2020. According to the relevant information from Jinjiang Wine Industry, the Maoxiang Wine Valley project has a total investment of 600 million yuan, covers an area of ​​130,000 square meters, and has a total construction area of ​​160,080 square meters. The construction content of the project includes sauce wine culture base, sauce wine exhibition and sales center, sauce wine culture exchange center, sauce wine valley cultural museum, sauce wine valley ancient method brewing area, packaging workshop, comprehensive building, office building, expo hall, etc. The construction period is 2 years, 1 year for decoration, to ensure that it will be put into operation within 3 years.

On April 3, when the reporter visited the Maotai Wine Valley project, they found that the project is located on a mountain opposite the Maotai International Hotel and is now in a state of shutdown. An executive of a nearby company revealed that Jinjiangjiu Valley was suspended last year due to ecological damage. “When some nearby wine companies expanded, everything went smoothly. But when Jinjiang Wine Industry did this project, it made too much noise.”

The contractor of Maoxiang Liquor Valley is Sichuan Honglin Construction Group Co., Ltd. A staff member of the company said that the shutdown of the project was the reason for the owner (Golden Jam Company). “It seems to be related to ecological destruction and construction without approval.” A person in charge of the administrative department of Jinjiang Company confirmed to “China News Weekly” that the Jiangxiang Wine Valley project was indeed suspended last year, and there is no construction permit yet. “After all, this is a construction project without approval and needs to be rectified, so Sichuan Honglin Company dare not continue construction.”

The person in charge said that the Jinjiang Wine Industry’s destruction of forestland mentioned by the Central Second Ecological Environmental Protection Inspectorate also occurred during the construction of Maoxiang Wine Valley. “Actually, the small saplings on the hillside were destroyed at that time, and the forest has not yet become a forest.” The person in charge said that Jinjiang Wine Industry won the land a few years ago, and the current forest land license has been approved. The company has also reported the relevant materials for the application for the construction permit to the Housing and Urban-rural Development Bureau, and is under review. “Other procedures are complete and are being reported in accordance with standard procedures. As for when to start construction, we are also waiting for the results.”

Guizhou Bayi Wine Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Bayi Wine Industry”) and other companies also have the problem of building before approval. A staff member of Bayi Wine Industry told said that when the company was expanding, some procedures were not completed before starting construction, and now it has been suspended due to lack of construction permits. “We are speeding up the relevant procedures, and some procedures may not be completed in two years.”

A number of local entrepreneurs interviewed said that many wine companies in Renhuai City have problems of building before approval, and there are certain “pragmatic considerations”. The local government has always attached great importance to the development of wine enterprises, but the many characteristics of the mountains have restricted the development of wine enterprises. In order to solve this dilemma, the local government buys the quota of non-local cultivated land in a balanced way to achieve new construction land and meet the needs of enterprise development, but this requires a process. In order to develop, some enterprises can also “make up for the formalities while building”.

Qiu Shuyi also said that in the past, some wine companies “emphasized development and neglected management”. Coupled with the shortage of land construction indicators in Guizhou Province, it took a long process for some companies to obtain a piece of land. In this context, in order to start work as soon as possible, some wine companies have the situation of “getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket”.

From the “Adjustment and Improvement Plan of Renhuai City Land Utilization Master Plan (2006-2020)” formulated by Renhuai Municipal Government in July 2017, it can be seen that the whole city of Renhuai is dominated by mountains, accounting for about 86.7% of the total land area. , the dam only accounts for 1.9% of the total land area.

It has become Renhuai’s top priority to supplement the shortage of construction land indicators by purchasing arable land indicators and balancing the occupation and compensation. The above-mentioned “Plan” mentioned that in order to complete the task of balancing the occupation and compensation of cultivated land, from 2010 to 2014, the city purchased 809.42 hectares of cultivated land from Hezhang County, Tongzi County, Fenggang County, Zheng’an County, Wuchuan County and Daozhen County, and the amount of cultivated land accounted for and compensated was 809.42 hectares. To balance the source of the main indicators, it is necessary to rely on off-site purchases, and it is more difficult to supplement locally.

During the implementation of the above-mentioned plan, the whole city of Renhuai supplemented 674.67 hectares of arable land through land development, reclamation and reclamation, which only fulfilled 34.6% of the planned target in 2020, and was less than half (46.65%) of the total area of ​​arable land occupied by new construction in the city during the same period . The speed of construction occupying arable land far exceeds the speed of replenishing arable land.

The main reason for the rapid occupation of arable land for construction is that Renhuai City’s “national wine industry has developed rapidly, and the scale of construction land has grown rapidly”. The above plan determines that by 2020, the total scale of new construction land, agricultural land occupied by new construction, and cultivated land occupied by new construction will be controlled within 3,329.00 hectares, 2,385.00 hectares, and 1,811.00 hectares, respectively. In 2014, the city’s total scale of new construction land was 3049.21 hectares, the total scale of agricultural land occupied by new construction was 2567.08 hectares, and the total scale of cultivated land occupied by new construction was 1446.15 hectares. “The implementation of the current plan is just over halfway through, and the construction land index and use progress have reached about 90%, and some have exceeded 100%.”

The shortage of land indicators has also led to skyrocketing prices. In July 2021, Lv Yuhua, executive vice president, and secretary-general of Zunyi City (Renhuai City) Liquor Industry Association, once said: “Now Renhuai’s land is gold. An enterprise needs one mu of land, including resource compensation fees, no matter whether it is Diaoyutai or Maotai, it used to be 40,000 to 51,000 acres, and now it is more than 500,001 acres, and some are even close to 700,000.”

Rectification problems

In order to consolidate land, facilitate supervision, and control pollution, the Renhuai Municipal Government is taking measures such as merger and reorganization of “small, scattered and weak” wine companies. The Renhuai Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department sent a written reply to “China News Weekly” stating that the Renhuai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government made it clear that in the next three years from 2021, more than 600 “small and weak” liquor enterprises will be comprehensively managed.

The rectification goal is to achieve a significant decrease in the total number of Renhuai liquor production enterprises and a substantial increase in enterprises above the designated size by 2025. “Shut down and transfer, all foreign non-physical capital investment projects will be suspended, and no expansion of production capacity without approval will be allowed.

Renhuai City regards it as a “slimming revolution” in the liquor industry. On September 7, 2021, the Renhuai Municipal Government Office issued the “Notice of Guiding Opinions on the Implementation of Mergers and Reorganizations of Liquor Enterprises in Renhuai City”, which clearly aims to make the reorganized liquor enterprises complete with complete certificates and licenses by promoting the merger and reorganization of liquor enterprises. The procedures are legal, safe and reliable, eco-friendly, high-quality, and efficient, and the independent annual output of Daqu Maotai is more than 400 tons, and the new liquor enterprise project construction capacity is more than 2,000 tons of Daqu Maoxiang liquor per year. The document also clarifies the staged industrial cluster development goals of the Renhuai sauce wine industry. By 2025, the city’s liquor output will reach 450,000 kiloliters, the total output value of the liquor industry will reach more than 150 billion yuan, and the tax revenue will exceed 60 billion yuan. A liquor industry cluster with one hundred-billion-level enterprise, three ten-billion-level enterprises, more than 10 billion-level enterprises, and 40 100-billion-level enterprises has been initially formed, and the upstream and downstream industrial chain of liquor has been further improved.

In the process of merging and reorganizing liquor enterprises in Renhuai City, how to withdraw in an orderly manner of “small, scattered and weak” still faces many obstacles, and there is a dilemma in the Renxigou area of ​​Maotai Town.

Renxigou is located in the tributary of Chishui River and belongs to Yantan Village. Yantan Village is located in the core area of ​​China’s wine capital wine industry and the development of the tertiary industry. A number of interviewed local wine company owners said that around 2000, some wine companies have sprung up near Renxi Valley, and there are currently 18 wine companies (including workshops).

Jindong Group is planning to build a Maotai-flavor liquor brewing base in Renxigou. When China News Weekly visited Yantian Village, it found that a huge billboard was posted in the village with the words “Aerial View of Jindong Sauce Wine Brewing Base Planning”. According to the official website of Jindong Investment Group Co., Ltd. (“Jindong Group”), the company was founded in 1996 and has formed a business model of “industry + investment”. Jindong Group has 15,000 employees and total assets of more than 30 billion yuan.

Ou Jie, chairman of Maotai Town Hanwang Wine Co., Ltd., told China News Weekly that Hanwang Wine currently has 356 cellars and more than 200 workers, which is the largest of the 18 wine companies (including workshops) in Renxigou. “For Hanwang Liquor, we will obey the government’s arrangement whether it will be merged or upgraded in the future.”

However, in Renxigou, except for a few wine companies such as Hanwang Wine Industry, the others are mostly smaller wineries or workshops. For these business owners, they are more worried about whether they will face the fate of being directly shut down in the future. The dissatisfaction of wine business owners is that they invested a lot of money last year to support the “four reforms” work and to continue production, but now the company is once again facing the problem of survival. “In order to make a company bigger and stronger, why did the government kill more than a dozen companies here? No matter how big or small, as long as companies are legal and compliant, they should not be discriminated against.”

The relevant video provided by Wu Mingyong shows that on March 2, 2022, the Renhuai Municipal Government convened the heads of 18 enterprises in Renxigou to hold a “Renxigou Liquor Development and Utilization Project Enterprise Symposium”. At the meeting, the government has not yet clarified the relocation plan and compensation plan. A number of people in charge of Renxigou wine companies told China News Weekly that the region has a great impact on the quality of Maotai liquor. Compared with economic compensation, they are more worried about whether they will be able to brew the same wine in the future if they leave here. Wine of the same quality.

In September 2021, the public account “Understanding Wine” published the article “Renhuai Wine Company Mergers and Reorganizations Are Coming”. The article said that as early as 2007, Renhuai issued guidance on the integration of resources for small and medium-sized liquor production enterprises, and planned to complete the integration of small and medium-sized liquor enterprises in two years from January 1, 2008. However, this big integration is not over. For this merger and reorganization, from March 2020, Renhuai began to prepare for the merger and reorganization of wine companies.

The article quoted an insider in Renhuai City as saying that if it wasn’t for the epidemic, this work would have been fully launched in early 2021. This merger and reorganization are very different from the past. In the past, the government was relatively poor and could not spend much money to solve the social contradictions in the process of large-scale integration. Now, the government is relatively rich in finance, and industrial upgrading and environmental protection, and ecological improvement have reached a critical point. This forces the local government to push forward mergers and acquisitions to ensure the healthy development of the Renhuai sauce wine industry cluster.

“Mergers and reorganizations and becoming bigger and stronger are the dreams of several generations of Renhuai’s leaders. However, the strong government intervention and the flexibility of market allocation of resources are two sides of the difficult decision of Renhuai wine companies. Except for Moutai Group, there are very few wine companies in Renhuai. Except for state-owned holding companies, most of them are small-scale private companies.” The article analyzed that they prefer the government to lessen the strong integration of “lalang matching” style, but let the market allocate resources. However, if mergers and acquisitions are not carried out, it will be difficult for the government to supervise small, scattered and disorderly wine companies. Once the Chishui River suffers major environmental pollution, it will be difficult for the Renhuai sauce wine industry to resist ecosystem risks.

Some analysts believe that the measures taken by the Renhuai Municipal Government to transform and upgrade local wine companies, mergers and reorganizations are the general trends, which is conducive to cultivating and expanding the cluster of key liquor enterprises and standardizing the order of liquor production and operation. However, in this process, how considering the legitimate demands of enterprises also tests the government’s governance ability.

There are some local sanitation trucks and urban management law enforcement vehicles on the scene. Some rotten apples had been shoveled into the back compartment of the sanitation truck: “Most of them are indeed broken, and we picked out some good ones .”

In a refrigerator car, there are four small baskets of apples that are still in good condition, and the owner of the car, who is also the owner of the batch of apples, is Lao Qiu, a 44-year-old from Huludao, Liaoning Province.

Reporter: Where did these apples come from?

Lao Qiu: On April 22, I pulled five thousand kilograms of apples from Jinzhou, Liaoning, and drove to Shanghai overnight. I arrived at night on the 23rd. I found that the wholesale market in the western suburbs was banned from trading, so I wanted to come to Baoshan because I used to come here to pull goods, I thought about retailing apples. But when I came, I found that there was no one on the street at all. I have been to the surrounding Youyi Road and Mudanjiang Road, the apples were not sold for a few days, and they were slowly rotten, so I thought that they could only be dumped.

Reporter: What about after the collapse?

Lao Qiu: It was the night of the 26th. I saw that it was a wasteland and there was some construction waste. I thought it would be all right if I just dumped it. I didn’t expect the police to call me the next day and asked me to go to the police station. Only then did I know that someone posted this on the Internet, and the police found me through surveillance.

After explaining the situation at the police station, Lao Qiu was fined 200 yuan by the local urban management for littering.

In his refrigerated car, the co-pilot was covered with his bedding, more than 10 used masks were hung on the steering wheel lever, and there were two boxes of leftover instant noodles on the dashboard. These things were given to him at the police station after the police knew his situation…

It cost 20,000 yuan to buy this batch of apples, as well as nearly 2,000 yuan in fuel costs along the way. Lao Qiu admitted that he was a little “impulsive” this time.

“On April 19th, I pulled a truck from Shandong to Chongming for a guaranteed supply of vegetables. I was connected with a cooperative and got a pass. The journey went smoothly. I just wanted to go back to my hometown and get some apples. There are farmers who grow apples, and I don’t want to make more money. The wholesale price is 3.6 yuan per kilogram, and it is enough to sell for 6 or 8 yuan per kilogram here.”

These few days in Shanghai, Lao Qiu lives in the car. In order to find a way for selling apples by car, he does nucleic acid tests every day. He uses almost all the money. When he opens the WeChat wallet on his mobile phone, the balance is just more than 500 yuan…

Lao Qiu said bluntly that he hasn’t thought about the next plan yet: “I’m earning shipping fees. I just bought this refrigerator this year. It cost nearly 200,000 yuan, and the loan needs to be repaid more than 5,000 yuan per month. I want to take orders again, but I’ve been to Shanghai before, cars that have been to Shanghai were not allowed to get off the expressway in many places, so I’m just thinking about waiting for Shanghai to unblock, it is said that the closure will be lifted soon. I’m thinking about bringing some goods from Shanghai at that time and then going out…”

On the afternoon of the same day, according to a press conference on the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic in Beijing, from 16:00 on April 23 to 16:00 on the 24th, Beijing added 21 new cases of local COVID-19 infection.
The meeting also reminded the public that from the 25th, normal nucleic acid testing will be carried out in Chaoyang District, Beijing.

In fact, just two days after Beijing “picked the stars” on the 23rd, scattered cases began to appear one after another, which aroused the vigilance of some citizens.

Guo Jia, the operation director of the Daily Youxian Beijing Region, revealed that on the 23rd, orders on the Daily Youxian app increased by about 3 times year-on-year; after Beijing announced the latest changes in the pandemic on the 24th, the increase quickly rose to 6 times.

On the afternoon of the 24th, many citizens began to “passionately” place orders on the fresh food app, but the capacity was quickly wiped out.
On the Jingdong APP, rice noodles, instant food, large barrels of alcohol, N95 masks, rolling papers, and other common items were also quickly sold out.
As of the evening of April 26, many commonly used products in Jingdong’s Beijing warehouse were shown to be delivered after April 29.

On the evening of April 24, office workers and middle-aged and elderly people flocked to major supermarkets in Beijing for offline purchases.

Xiaoyu, who works in a large factory in Haidian, rushed to Yonghui Supermarket in Changping District after getting off work. She saw that there were still fruits and green leafy vegetables left, while onions, potatoes, baby vegetables, tomatoes, and other vegetables that were resistant to storage were indistinguishable.” sweep”.

People’s shopping carts are full of pork, eggs, and convenience foods, and there are people loading cartons with boxes of alcohol. Xiaoyu wrote four words on Wechat: “shivering”.

That night, major supermarkets and fresh food apps in Beijing, including Wumart, Carrefour, and Yonghui, announced that they would extend their business hours until late at night.

Xiaoyu saw a lot of neatly styled pictures on Wechat: various strategies for hoarding vegetables, stuffed shopping carts, or emptied shelves in supermarkets.

“Until now, I can’t believe that I actually spent nearly 7,000 yuan to buy things in the supermarket. My wife said I was really obsessed!” Mr. Lin, who lives in Chaoyang, still thinks his actions are incredible.

Mr. Lin has been fascinated by the idea of stockpiling goods by relatives and friends in Shanghai, and there are several different versions of various material forms.

Especially after watching the press conference on the same day, Mr. Lin panicked completely after a friend received a short message from a friend around him, and the word “hoarding goods” became a subconscious conditioned reflex.

“I see that the supermarket is full of people, and I don’t care about the shopping list. I can take what others take. I haven’t eaten instant noodles, mustard, ham, luncheon meat, and canned food for five or six years. The prepared meat dishes were put into the shopping cart together,” said Mr. Lin.

To Mr. Lin’s regret and surprise, although the Nongguangli community in Chaoyang District currently requires residents to work from home and not leave the area, on the evening of the 25th, their family received a free vegetable package from the community, including lettuce, cabbage, Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and potatoes, etc.

“The whole family started to eat vegetables, otherwise, most of the vegetables stored on Sunday would have to be thrown away. Anxiety really kills people.” Mr. Lin said.

At the Beijing pandemic Prevention and Control Press Conference on April 25, Zhao Weidong, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said: Beijing’s refined grain and refined oil transactions are stable, the reserves are sufficient, and the reserves can meet the consumption needs of Beijing residents for 30 days. In general, the supply of various daily necessities in Beijing is sufficient and stable, and the supply is guaranteed.

In April 2020, the General Office of the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government issued the “Shenzhen Implementation Plan for Promoting the Development of Care Services for Infants and Children under 3 Years of Age (2020-2025)”. It is necessary to build a public welfare nursery school with demonstration effect.

The reporter learned that Xixiang Sub-district Inclusive Nursery Park is sponsored by Xixiang Sub-district Office, undertaken by Pea Flower Montessori Education Consulting Co., Ltd., and co-organized by Shenzhen Nursery Association.

When I came to Shanghai this time, I brought two large boxes and a cloth bag with seventy to 40 kilograms of ingredients, including vegetables, beef, chicken, cooked food, soy products, and more.

When I was packing my luggage, the ingredients were all over the floor, and my son also took a photo and sent it to a circle of friends. I didn’t expect so many people to like and comment.

Some people say yes, “Only a mother is good in the world”. This is true, parents are of course worried about their children. But I can’t afford more praise, after all, it’s what my family wants to eat.

Some people ask, why do you have to go to Shanghai? Some people are also concerned, how did you get here on the way? I’ll just say it.

Coming to Shanghai is not an impromptu intention, it is planned. In the past, I used to live at my son’s house. I also spent the Spring Festival this year in Shanghai, and I will stay in Shanghai for the next few years. The little grandson just turned half a year old and needs someone to take care of him. Especially after the lockdown is lifted, sons and daughters-in-law have to return to work, so I have to come and prepare to take care of their grandchildren in advance.

It was really hard to book tickets this time.

Our hometown is Tancheng County in the southernmost part of Shandong Province. The usual way of transportation to Shanghai is to take a bus, go to Linyi Airport to fly directly to Shanghai, or go south to a county-level city in northern Jiangsu and take a four-hour high-speed train directly to Shanghai.

But under the pandemic, these methods will not work at all. Buses and planes were stopped, and the Lu-Su junction was also closed. The feasible way is to take the high-speed rail in the province and find a way to transfer the high-speed rail to Shanghai.

At the beginning, I booked a ticket for April 5. At that time, it was said that this time was the time when Puxi was unblocked. I took the high-speed train from Linyi to Rizhao, and then from Rizhao to Shanghai. But a few days before departure, the bus from Rizhao to Shanghai was suspended.

The second route I chose was to take the high-speed rail from Linyi to Qufu, then transfer to Hefei, and then from Hefei to Shanghai. The road took a lot of detours and I had to transfer twice. But a few days before departure, I received a notice that the third journey was suspended.

The third shift that actually took place was Linyi to Rizhao, transfer to Xuzhou, and then transfer to Shanghai. It takes more than an hour to go to the high-speed rail station, and about 8 hours for the high-speed rail and transfer.

After I booked the ticket, I thought, if it is canceled again, I will take the logistics truck to Hangzhou, and then go from Hangzhou to Shanghai by high-speed rail. My cousin who runs a restaurant in the express service area also helped me contact a familiar driver in advance.

Then there’s the matter of getting things ready.

Although the area where my son is located is relatively late, the supplies are ok. With the help of community group purchases and some friends, there is no shortage of food and drink. But I don’t know when the pandemic will affect it. After all, it is inconvenient to purchase in Shanghai, so bringing more things makes me feel safer.

Meat is bought ahead of time, frozen in the freezer. For vegetables, buy them a day or two in advance.

My son was afraid that my luggage will be too heavy, so he told me just to bring some leafy vegetables. He told me that there is no shortage of vegetables in Shanghai now, but they are all durable vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions, and green leafy vegetables are hard to buy.

On the high-speed train at 8 o’clock that day, I went to the wholesale market at 4 in the morning and bought vegetables for dozens of dollars.

In the end, I bought nearly 10 kinds of leafy vegetables in the box, more than 20 kinds of vegetables in total, including seasonal vegetables such as toon, and 4 kilograms of apples.

In addition to buying it yourself, many relatives and friends also help. In fact, when they first knew that I was going to Shanghai, they persuaded me not to go, and even the apple sellers persuaded me not to go to Shanghai. But seeing that I had to go, they all started to help me prepare things.

My sister-in-law fried a big bag of dried tofu, my daughter’s in-laws bought some vegetables, and my brother-in-law helped to make the mutton into mature food…

The original plan was to add a large box and a handbag, and finally, there was an extra-large box. I used to bring a little more stuff when I traveled far, but this time I have to change trains and I have a lot of stuff, so I’m ready to move it a little bit.

At 5:30, my relatives drove me to set off. It took an hour and a half to reach Linyi High-speed Railway Station and take the 8:00 high-speed train. On the flat ground in the high-speed rail station, I hung a bag on my shoulders and dragged a box forward with one hand. The box was old and the pulley was not so easy to use. It was a little hard to pull.

The more troublesome thing is to get on the elevator, the elevator is hard to find, and the escalator is basically used. I just ship one box at a time, then walk down the ladder, and then carry another box up.

Not too strenuous, but time consuming. The transfer time at Rizhao High-speed Railway Station was originally reserved for 40 minutes, but the entire transfer time took 30 minutes.

There are also many kind people. At Linyi High-speed Railway Station, a station staff helped me drag a box from the ticket gate to the train. When I was transferring in Xuzhou, a young man helped me drag a box.

I took three shots of the vaccine myself, and I was not too afraid of the pandemic on this trip. What I worry about is that Shanghai will not be able to enter, I will be asked to return to my hometown, my hometown will not be able to receive it, and the fresh vegetables I bring will be spoiled, so then what should I do?

For safety, I still wore two layers of masks and disposable gloves during the whole process.

The trains from Xuzhou to Shanghai was full of people, and when we got to Suzhou, there were only a few people left in our carriages, and there were more Jingdong couriers who supported Shanghai in other carriages. I think these couriers who came to Shanghai to help are very brave. They are here to help others.

The facilities of Hongqiao Station are good, the elevator is also convenient, and there are taxis and buses with guaranteed operation. I took a taxi to my son’s house, and it was completely metered. When entering the community, you must hold a nucleic acid certificate and make an antigen on the spot.

When my son saw me, he was also very surprised. He knew that I would bring something, but he didn’t know that I had brought so much. When packing his luggage, he was even more startled when he saw that things were spread on the ground, and there were no prongs on the ground.

I’m just glad that I can bring so many things, and I hope the more the better. When reporting the safety of my relatives in my hometown, I kept showing them off. My nephew said that if it was him, he might have thrown the box away on the way.

So far, I have had four times of nucleic acid tests in Shanghai, all of which are negative.

From 2015 to 2017, in two years, the number of hotels, homestays and inns in major scenic spots such as Dali Ancient Town and Shuanglang has doubled; in 2017 alone, nearly 1,000 hotels, inns and homestays have been added in Dali Ancient Town.

“When it’s hottest, it doesn’t matter if you can’t book a room at all, even if you live in, once it’s check-out time, if you don’t check out in time, your luggage will be taken out by the staff and put at the door because new tourists are waiting.” Lemon, the owner of a homestay in the ancient city of Dali, told the “Daily Economic News” reporter.

However, affected by the pandemic in the past two years, the number of tourists in Dali has dropped sharply. “On the first day of the Qingming holiday last year, our hotel received 22 groups of customers, but on the first day of this year, there were only 4 groups.” Lemon said that compared with previous years, the price of the small holiday inn can be slightly increased. This year, “it is better to lose money.” Indeed to make money, as far as I know, some bars also offer cocktails for 1 yuan a glass, vodka for 5 yuan a glass… in order to attract customers to come into the store, and then bet they can spend something else.”

• This situation is reflected in real estate, and the same applies.

As a tourist destination, Dali’s popularity is being surpassed by other cities. Previously, Dali attracted many people to buy a house due to its unique tourism resources. “There are really a lot of tourists living in Dali.” Wu Kui, a real estate agent in Dali’s Deyou store, told the “Daily Economic News” reporter, “There are very few other tourist cities like Dali that can attract a person to travel here, and then choose to live here.”

Migrants from other cities soared has also caused local housing prices to rise. Some netizens recalled on social platforms: “In 2016, I bought a four-bedroom set in Xiaguan, 5,000 yuan/square meter. A year later, the high-speed rail was connected, and the new houses around the market rose to 14,000 yuan/square meter. Fortunately, I Buy it early, or you really can’t afford it.”

According to the “Hurun 2019 Global House Price Index”, Dali’s housing prices rose by 20.2% in one year from 2018 to 2019, making it the city with the highest housing price increase in China and the second largest in the world.

However, house prices in Dali have continued to drop in recent years.

Kerui data shows that in 2021, the overall housing price of Dali will drop by 6.47% to 10,924 yuan / square meter. As of March this year, among the cities in Yunnan, only the provincial capitals Kunming and Dali, the average price of new commercial housing exceeds 10,000. In the first quarter of this year, the transaction volume of new houses in Dali was less than 100,000 square meters.

• The house has been listed for two years, but it cannot be sold.

In 2018, the most popular year in Dali, Zhang Qian spent more than 1.2 million yuan to purchase a 101-square-meter property in Xiaguan.

“I just came to Dali for tourism at that time, I wanted to see the landscape here, but I didn’t expect that I was attracted and bought a suite.” Zhang Qian recalled, “Maybe because I am a northerner, I have no resistance to the landscape of Dali. In particular, there is Erhai Lake in Dali, and the humidity is very high. For me, who has lived in a dry area in the north for a long time, it is simply a fatal temptation.”

After discussing with her family, Zhang Qian, who had seen several real estate projects, bought the current suite. “The down payment is 500,000 yuan from the family, and now the monthly mortgage payment is more than 3,500 yuan.” Zhang Qian said, “At that time, Dali real estate was basically not worried about selling, in addition to being able to come and live for a few months every year, you can also use it as an investment.”

However, the house was delivered at the end of 2019, and the pandemic interrupted Zhang Qian’s dream. “After the house was delivered, we visited in July 2020 and mid-2021, and it has not been decorated yet.” It was also in 2020 that Zhang Qian decided to sell the house.

“The family still thinks that the house is too large, and the monthly mortgage pressure is a bit high, and they only go to stay for a while every year. There is no need to be too big, we want to change a house of 70 to 80 square meters.” For this, the house was listed for sale by Deyou store for 1.25 million yuan.

However, since November 2020, house prices in Dali have continued to decline, and the decline has continued to expand. As of March this year, the price of new houses in Dali fell by 5.7% year on year, and the price of second-hand houses fell by 4.7% year on year.

The listing price of Zhang Qian’s house has also continued to drop, from the initial 1.25 million yuan to the current 1.05 million yuan. “There is no way. There have been very few people asking about this house in the past two years. Now I want to sell it as soon as possible.”

Residents Mr. Ji’s family and 17 neighbors bought a whole pig that had been slaughtered in order to eat fresh pork. In the absence of a butcher in the market, Mr. Ji’s father, a former professor of anatomy, dismembered the whole pig to satisfy the greed of the neighbors.

An anatomy professor is an expert in dissecting the human body. Who would have guessed that one day, an anatomy professor will act as a butcher?

On April 12, Mr. Ji, who was in the Shanghai prevention area, received a message for help in the community buying group, “Looking for someone who can cut pork.”

“The pork we bought in the group was all frozen. We want to eat fresh pork, and after inquiries, we learned that there is currently a lack of butchers in the market to cut pork, and if you want to eat fresh pork, you can only buy a whole pig and cut it yourself.”

Mr. Ji introduced that when he saw the news of looking for a pig cutter, he asked his father, who was a professor of anatomy if he could cut the pig. “My father, Professor Ji Rongming, is a member of the Naval Medical University (formerly the Second Military Medical University), professor of clinically applied anatomy, winner of the National Invention Award, now retired. Although his 71-year-old father has never dismembered a pig, this is also cutting work, he thought it would not be difficult to cut a whole pig, so he agreed.”

Afterward, Mr. Ji and 17 neighbors bought a whole pig. “Because special tools are required to cut the pig’s head, and we only have a kitchen knife, we did not want the pig’s head, nor the pig’s internal organs and tail.” Mr. Ji said the volunteers sent the whole pig to his house with a small cart that day.

“We first put cardboard on the table to prevent damage to the house’s hygiene when cutting the pig. Then, my father and I carried the pig to the table, and my father put on medical white gloves and used a pen to draw 16 strips on the pig’s back. He took out the freshly sharpened kitchen knife and cut the pig along the bisector line.” Mr. Ji said that his father’s cutting technique was very neat, “Compared to dissection, cutting pork is relatively simple, because when dissecting the human body, care should be taken to protect the organs, so the method is more careful, and the pork can be cut with a slash, even if it is cut crookedly, it can be eaten.”

After cutting the pork, they took out the scales and weighed 17 pieces of pork by standing on the scale and holding 17 pieces of pork in turn.

“My father’s knife skills are perfect. Each portion of meat is basically 10 kilograms, and they are very happy after sharing it with the neighbors. Later, we made braised pork with fresh pork, and I feel that the braised pork this time is more fragrant because this is the pork that we cut ourselves, the braised pork is infused with our hard work.” Mr. Ji said.

Mr. Ji said that they are happy to help their neighbors realize their wishes, and they will buy whole pigs or whole sheep again in the future to satisfy everyone’s greed.
