On April 5th, the famous singer Wang Xinping announced on her personal social account that her father, a generation of martial arts superstar Wang Yu, died in the hospital on the morning of April 5th at the age of 80.

Wang Yu was born in Shanghai, a native of Jiangsu. She studied in Shanghai Institute of Physical Education and settled in Hong Kong, China in 1960s. Because of her love of sports since childhood, Wang Yu, who is tall and has excellent appearance, was quickly targeted by the entertainment circle in Hong Kong.

In 1964, Zhang Che, the famous director of the Hong Kong martial arts film "The Founder of the Mountain", took a fancy to him and invited him to be the hero of the martial arts film "The Tiger Warrior and the Enemy", which opened the road of "A Generation of Heroes Wang Yu".

In Wang Yu’s screen hero career, One-armed Knife, which came out in 1967, can be called a work that changed his fate. In the film, he played the one-armed swordsman who repaid kindness with evil, avenged his legacy, and contributed to the Chinese film an image of a tough guy and a hero who was affectionate, righteous, unrestrained and unique in screen charm, sweeping away the gentle atmosphere that occupied the mainstream of the big screen at that time.

After the release of One-armed Knife, it caused a big sale, and was praised as "a masterpiece leading the trend of martial arts films". Since then, Wang Yu has become the spokesperson of "Heroes", and in the next 10 years, he has successively filmed many martial arts films with the theme of "One-armed Knife King", "One-armed Knife vs. Blind Man" and "One-armed Boxing King Breaking guillotines". It is reported that before Bruce Lee became famous, Wang Yu was a martial arts star with the highest pay and the best box office in Hong Kong, China. While starring in many hit works, Wang Yu also began to act while being excellent, and directed many martial arts works such as Long Hudou and Black and White Road.

Under the leadership of a group of martial arts stars such as Wang Yu, Hong Kong-made martial arts films have become a dazzling business card of China films. Quentin tarantino, a famous Hollywood director, called him "one of the greatest and most innovative directors in the history of martial arts movies", while director Ang Lee spoke highly of him: "Wang Yu not only laid the standard for martial arts superstars, but also pioneered the fist action movies. His self-directed and self-directed Long Hudou developed this genre earlier than Bruce Lee and inspired countless successors. These movies may have more influence on the world than me, and they are still learning all over the world."

In the early 1990s, Wang Yu gradually faded out of the film industry and became a "legend" among the fans of a new generation of martial arts movies. In 2011, Wang Yu was admitted to the hospital because of a minor stroke, which made fans extremely concerned about the health of this "hero". However, he soon came back and took the first martial arts work "Martial Arts" directed by Chen Kexin, and cooperated with Donnie Yen, Tang Wei and others to play the villain BOSS with bottomless skills.

At that time, both Chen Kexin and Donnie Yen expressed their admiration for Wang Yu in interviews, believing that their understanding of martial arts movies was not unrelated to Wang Yu’s classic performances. To the surprise of fans, Wang Yu, who has never won a prize in his life, was nominated for the best supporting actor in several important film festivals with his few performances in "Martial Arts".

However, since the film Lost Soul was filmed in 2013, Wang Yu’s health has once again turned red and disappeared from the entertainment scene.

Wang Xinping suddenly announced the news of Wang Yu’s death today, and netizens lamented one after another: Great Xia, go well!

There is no one-armed knife in the world!

On June 26, 2018, the Aston Martin family’s new masterpiece DBS Superleggera made a stunning appearance, which announced the return of DBS series and Superleggera elements, among which DBS series came out in 1967, and the named Superleggera part aims to pay tribute to Touring, an Italian body manufacturer who first proposed the concept of ultra-lightweight.　

As the flagship super GT sports car of the family, it will replace the Vanquish S model and upgrade its product strength in an all-round way. In terms of the most eye-catching power, it is equipped with a 5.2-liter V12 twin-turbo engine with a maximum output of 725 HP and a peak torque of 900 Nm.

Pierce the last window of life with movies.

Recently, there was a high-scoring online drama, which started quietly.

Although it didn’t make any splash on the hot search, on Douban, many fans cried "Ye Qing Hui" and scored 8.7 for it.

No suspense, it’s just-

The edge of the city

"The Edge of the City" is an exception to the series of "Mao Lie", with a total of 30 episodes, which are released at one time, each episode is only about 10 minutes, short and pithy.

Before the formal chat, Xiaowan still needs to talk briefly about Mao Cheat.

It is said that 11 years ago, domestic online dramas just started.

A small team rooted in Shijiazhuang, relying on the strength of one share, vacated the "Mao Cheat", the title of which was homophonic, deliberately playing the ball.

No one expected that this rustic drama would become the ceiling of the future online drama in one fell swoop.

From "Mao Cheat 1, 2" to "Mao Cheat End", the word-of-mouth has been rising steadily: 8.6, 9.4 and 9.7.

On the Douban, on an equal footing with The End of Mao Cheat, there are all classic dramas such as A Dream of Red Mansions, 1566 Ming Dynasty and Towards the Republic.

"Mao Cheat" ranks among them, which is quite out of place. It seems to be a common wild flower from the complicated history and political situation.

Back to the story, "Mao Cheat" mainly revolves around a fraud team composed of a group of people on the edge of the city-Zhao Ning, Xiaobao, Li Wei, Shao Zhuang, Bao Ge, Anning and Xing Dongdong.

Adhering to the tenet of "even thieves have a way", these gangs only cheat and don’t steal, which is quite chivalrous. They rob the rich and help the poor, while fighting with their peers in the Jianghu.

Many common tricks are displayed in the play.

For example, stealing mobile phones, stealing ATM cards, begging for money, insurance fraud, chess endgame, interest-free loans and so on.

The series "Mao Cheat" is structured as a unit drama, with one episode, one scam and one main line in each season. Through ingenious arrangement, they are connected in series.

At the end of "The End of Mao Cheat", Xiaobao found another "fat sheep" and prepared to do a big job.

As a result, this vision has been extinguished before it is opened. Anning, Li Wei, Dongdong and Shao Zhuang left in turn and went their separate ways, leaving Xiaobao standing still.

A "Grand Theft Auto Legend" came to an end.

Due to the sensitive theme, The End of Mao Cheat was taken off the shelves of the whole network only one year after it was launched, and since then, it has been "living among the people", but many viewers regard this "China’s first online drama" as the tears of the times.

Now, after a lapse of six years, The Edge of the City has returned with its original crew, and successfully awakened the feelings and memories of those audiences with familiar recipes and familiar tastes.

In fact, as early as the filming of Mao Cheat, The Edge of the City had a clue-

In the play, it has been mentioned many times, and it is an online serial novel created by Zhao Ning under the pseudonym of Changle Girl after she left the team.

"The Edge of the City" focuses on the core figure Xiaobao. Xiaobao is a core member of the initial leader Zhao Ning.

From "Mao Cheat" to "The Edge of the City", Xiao Bao has a clear growth vein-

At first, it was an impulsive and impetuous killing of Matt. After Zhao Ning’s training, it gradually became mature and sophisticated. In the second season, he succeeded Zhao Ning as the leader and helped the team to save the day with exquisite layout.

This time, in "The Edge of the City", he launched a new adventure single-handedly.

The first few episodes of the story seem to be a capitalized "fraud prevention guide", which analyzes a variety of scams.

The first episode, is a wine tray scam. A lecherous man met a beautiful girl in dating software.

As a result, the other party went to the restaurant to consume high-priced drinks and slaughtered him severely.

Next, Xiao Bao appeared and gave the wine tray a beautiful counterattack. Xiaobao and the wine tray ate 8,850 yuan a meal.

Before paying, he first called up the mobile phone model to pretend to charge, and then borrowed the mobile phone of the wine tray to make a phone call.

Then, he put his mobile phone on the table, went to the bar to prepare to pay the bill in cash, and deliberately took out a large stack of cash to let the other party relax their vigilance.

Then, the companion entered the door, pretending to be the owner who was in the way, and asked Xiaobao to move the car at the door. Xiaobao put his wallet at the front desk to gain trust, and then drove away.

When the liar reacted, he found that Xiaobao had already stolen the column, leaving only the model mobile phone and a stack of white paper.

Close encounter of mahjong staged a flowing, let a person can’t see the slightest flaw.

In the second episode, fake gas inspectors went to the door to cheat.

Two swindlers pretended to be inspectors, went to the door to repair gas, and earned maintenance fees on the pretext of gas leakage.

Xiaobao and his partner cleverly set up a game, one pretending to be a locksmith and the other pretending to be a pregnant woman owner. Xiaobao caught a turtle in a jar for the swindlers and trapped them in the kitchen, thinking that they had really suffered a natural gas leak.

The pregnant women trapped in the kitchen with them fainted directly to the ground, leaving the liar at a loss and worried about one body and two lives.

At this point, Xiaobao waited for an opportunity and asked for 5000 pieces to unlock. The swindler hesitated again and again, so he had no choice but to agree. Stealing chickens and wasting rice.

In the third episode, I found someone to drive on my behalf and Lu Yu touched porcelain.

Xiaobao called a driver to help him drive after drinking. However, the driver on behalf of the driver offered to leave not far from the destination, allowing the drunken owner to solve the later journey by himself.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bao just got into the driver’s seat and the car behind him gave him a malicious rear-end collision.

It was clearly the fault of the other party, but the accident party knew that Xiaobao was guilty of drunk driving and extorted 20,000 yuan from him as soon as he opened his mouth.

Many people encounter this kind of scam of driving and touching porcelain, and they will be turned into the pit in a muddle.

But Xiao Bao dealt with a man as he deals with you, and made a beautiful counter-kill.

Not only did he not drink himself, but he also let the swindler drink the additive drink, so he turned against the army and let the swindler recognize the loss.

Seeing here, it is not difficult to find that there are great differences in the starting point between The Edge of the City and Mao Cheat.

The former is "anti-fraud" and the latter is "cheating". This adaptation obviously has the scale consideration of "green health".

Although suspense and baggage come down in one continuous line with Mao Lie, Edge of the City has added many unexpected tips on obeying the law and brought out many positive values.

For example, at the end, letting Xiaobao, a street swindler, turn himself in voluntarily is a plot setting with a strong desire for survival.

At the same time, compared with Mao Lie, The Edge of the City also adds a lot of tender feelings. For example, send anti-fraud manuals to the elderly.

The subtle deception in the play takes advantage of the weaknesses of human nature: greed, lust, timidity and so on.

In a sense, the victims of the scam are more or less culpable of punishment.

However, compared with Mao Lie, treating these "culpable of punishment", The Edge of the City has become gentler, more compassionate and more respectful of human nature.

Like Mao Cheat, the play also uses short stories as bait, which gradually leads to a bigger story line.

Starting from the third episode, Xiao Bao officially entered the game to compete with the villain Mao Ge. It turns out that the fraud gangs he punished before all belonged to Mao Ge.

Xiao Bao opened fire on them again and again in order to attract Mao Ge’s attention.

The actor who plays Mao Ge is none other than Zhang Tao, who recently played Mr. Zhong in Xiao Shede.

On the surface, Xiao Bao defected to Mao Ge, but in fact, he secretly planned a big game of chess. This big game of chess is related to the bloodstone repeatedly recited by neighbor Lao Du.

After parting ways with his friends, Xiaobao lived in a village in the city and got to know Lao Du, a neighbor who lives alone with his granddaughter Tutu and suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.

Twenty years ago, Lao Du was entrusted to keep a priceless bloodstone.

Since then, a series of misfortunes began to happen in Lao Du: his wife mysteriously disappeared, his son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident, and even the carefully kept bloodstone was gone.

At present, Mao Ge and his party are investigating the whereabouts of bloodstone. So, with the search for the bloodstone as the main line, Xiaobao joined the criminal group in Mao Ge, trying to find out the truth behind the bloodstone.

A battle of wits between close encounter of mahjong and deception began in the play …

In addition to the fascinating story of the big story set and the short story set, The Edge of the City also sacrificed a lot of memories for Laofen.

In the play, Xiaobao not only recalled his first half life in the name of a friend, but also quoted what his father had said to him.

Many years ago, my father concealed the fact that he had cancer from Xiaobao, and advised Xiaobao to cherish life and stay away from fraud circles as soon as possible.

At that time, Xiao Bao failed to understand the deep meaning of his father’s words and felt that he was a fraud genius, arrogant and blind.

Later, as he grew older and more experienced, he gradually understood the profound meaning in his father’s words.

Unfortunately, my father was already dead at this time.

At the end, several leading actors in Mao Cheat all appeared, giving the audience a deep memory:

Brother Bao, whose acting skills are obvious to all, Xing Dongdong, who was promoted to a nursing father, Li Wei, who has first-class unlocking skills, Shao Zhuang, who is still handsome, is full of peace.

Except Zhao Ning, all the members of the Mao cheat team assembled.

After gathering, the screenwriter turned his pen and left an open ending-

After mantis catching cicada and yellowbird, Xiaobao and his party have been watched by mysterious people.

What awaits them will be more complicated puzzles …

Generally speaking, The Edge of the City is slightly inferior to Mao Cheat in suspense narrative.

The deception presented in the play looks relatively simple, and the villain boss is also set relatively weakly, which does not bring out the exciting and exciting confrontation.

However, compared with similar online dramas, it is still an excellent suspense drama full of sincerity. It is well-made and climaxes, and it does not play with the audience in the name of feelings. It belongs to a work that is worth seeing although it is regrettable.

　　Overseas Network March 30thAccording to WeChat WeChat official account of the Chinese Embassy in Kenya, on March 27th, Kenya’s Star published a commentary by Ken Ndegewa, an expert on media relations, refuting the smear and slander about China’s policy concerning Xinjiang, arguing that this is another black hand of the United States for geopolitical influence, but a lie is a lie after all, and the truth will always prevail over a lie.

　　The article indicates that the United States and other western countries have recently fabricated lies about Xinjiang, China for ulterior motives, or absurdly accused China of "genocide" against the Uighurs in Xinjiang, or fabricated the existence of forced labor on cotton farms in Xinjiang. Behind the lies is actually an attempt by the United States to discredit China and destroy China. After former US President Trump’s trade war with China suffered a fiasco, Xinjiang became the "last straw" of the US game against China. Biden, the current president of the United States, recently threw out that "China will not become the most powerful country in the world during his term of office", further exposing the true intention of the United States.

　　The article lists the development data of Xinjiang in economy, population, education and other aspects one by one, and quotes the statements made by State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi of China, Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations Dai Bing and the recent press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China on Xinjiang-related issues, pointing out that 64 countries have issued a joint statement at the UN Human Rights Council to support China’s position on Xinjiang-related issues, but western countries are obviously unwilling to accept first-hand information about Xinjiang facts and are more willing to believe false reports. Their real purpose is to create problems in Xinjiang and undermine China’s economic development and stability.

Chinese restaurants, tea restaurants and overseas Chinese food in Britain are included in the topic # Afternoon Tea 1 Content # Life Bookstore New Book Recommended 31 Contents #2021 New Book 43 Contents.

The taste of Chinese restaurants in Britain has changed from the traditional Cantonese flavor to the Hong Kong flavor. Especially in China City, the center of London, there are hundreds of very good Chinese restaurants, all of which can basically cook authentic Cantonese food, as well as dazzling hot "Cantonese dim sum", and Cantonese-style porridge with different flavors is also available. Overseas Chinese food seems to have the right style.

Afternoon Tea, Tea Restaurant and Hong Kong Pavilion

Author: Zhou Songfang

After Chinese arrived in England, he was not used to the food itself, but also to the time and way of eating. Chinese gets up early and goes to bed early, and has three meals a day, but Britain gets up early and goes to bed late, and it is divided into four or five meals. Students are no exception, and international students can only do as the Romans do. Some international students wrote down the meal schedule at that time:

As a rule, I get up at about 7: 30, and have breakfast after 8: 00. The food is milk cereal, ham and eggs, bread jam, cheese and tea. The earliest class time starts at 9: 00, and it is customary for British people to have lunch around 1: 00 pm, so the latest class time in the morning is from 12: 00 to 1: 00. In the afternoon, classes are held from 2: 00 to 5: 00, and about 5: 00 is Teatime for English people. English tea is eaten regularly (from 4: 00 to 5: 00, it is called High Tea), and it must be accompanied by bread jam, milk oil, cake cheese and fruit. We regard it as a meal, or at least it should be called refreshment. In the past, this kind of habit was only used by middle-class families, but it has been popular in the general society in recent decades. Although the food materials are different, few people don’t eat tea. Self-study time for students after tea. Dinner is served at about 9 o’clock, and the food is usually simpler than lunch, probably a cold dish, bread and cream, cheese and fruit and a few biscuits. After dinner, you can talk freely, or read soft words, or listen to the radio and phonograph. The usual bedtime is around eleven o’clock.

From this point of view, English dinner is like our midnight snack, and afternoon tea is like our dinner, and it is also as important as us. There is a saying that can show this degree of attention: "English people are used to having tea at five o’clock in the afternoon as usual." A pot of black tea, two pieces of bread, a plate of snacks and a plate of lettuce. Sometimes add an egg or a small fish. " In Chinese’s view, it’s not grand, but in Britain, "it’s better to be a housewife, and guests must watch a movie or eat China rice as a reward". Invite you to have afternoon tea. You should invite her to a movie or even a China meal, just like inviting someone to a western meal on the beach in the early days. That’s simply too much! Mr. Zhu Ziqing also said:

Europeans eat three meals a day, and the weight is quite different. Like Germany, there is only coffee and bread in the morning and cold food in the evening, only lunch is heavier. In France, coffee, moon cake, lunch and dinner seem to be average in weight. Britain pays equal attention to breakfast and dinner, and its lunch is lighter. Britain pays attention to breakfast, just like Chengdu in China. There are porridge, ham and eggs, bread, tea, and sometimes salted fish and fruit. Lunch is simple, you can just eat a piece of toast and a cup of coffee; Some small restaurants sell lunch boxes, such as cold fish and meat, but no dinner boxes.

However, no matter how much attention is paid to rich afternoon tea, it is afternoon tea after all, and it can’t be compared with dinner or dinner. Therefore, Zhu Ziqing probably regarded China’s "little man" as a "gentleman" in Britain, and thought that they often treated people with cheap and simple afternoon tea instead of expensive dinners: British people drink tea once a day at about 4: 30 pm, with toast and butter. When you invite a tea party, there are naturally other things, such as ham with bread, raw pea seedlings with bread, tea steamed bread and so on. They attach great importance to afternoon tea, which is almost indispensable. You can take this opportunity to treat people, which is much simpler and cheaper than inviting dinner. He also said: English people prefer tea to coffee, contrary to French people; They can’t make coffee well either. Most of the tea we drink now is Indian tea; Although China tea is sold in the tea and rice shop, there are few customers. It certainly has something to do with not allowing the profits to spill over, but it is not conducive to the publicity of China tea (for example, it is not clean when fried), and the main reason is that the tea taste is too weak. Indian tea is thick and bitter, and milk and sugar are just right; China black tea is not strong enough, but it smells good. It is strange that the tea sold in the tea and rice shop is so light in color, smell and fragrance that it is inexplicable how that kind of tea can be shipped out. Actually, that’s right. Tea restaurants focus on rice, tea is not important, what is the taste? Just like drinking tea in Guangdong, it is important to eat, and the taste of tea is not counted; Also like the popular tea restaurant, who knows that it is not from tea restaurants?

Tea restaurants are everywhere in Britain, and they are relatively cheap, so when Zhu Ziqing visited Britain in May and June 1932, he had a lot of experience and many observation records:

There are three cheap tea restaurants: Lyons, Express Milk Room and ABC Bakery. Each family has opened many stores, all over the city and outside; ABC is less and more expensive, and Laaynes is the most. The fried veal, veal liver and braised duck pieces in the express dairy are also delicious; They burn duck pieces with charcoal fire, so it has a China flavor. ABC fried beef liver can also be eaten, but it’s almost impossible to get old in a hurry; The dim sum is well baked, and several of them are comparable to the French bakery in Beiping. There doesn’t seem to be anything outstanding in Laaynes; But there are two "corner shops" in his house, both at the corner of downtown, but there are delicious foods there. The corner shop has two large rooms, one is upper and lower, and the other is three floors and three large rooms, which can accommodate about 1,500 people. There is a band playing in the evening. As soon as I entered, I saw it was dark and full of people. The corridor was narrow enough, but the weather was quite wide (a British student ridiculed it as "the palace of the poor", which might be good); There, I often find and stand for a long time before waiting for an empty seat. All the stores in these three stores use waitresses, but only two corner stores use some waiters-waiters are more expensive. The waiters and waitresses all wore black uniforms, and the women even wore white hats to entertain the guests in layers. Only in corner shops do you have to tip (although the door is marked "no tip"), and there is no need to tip in these three shops elsewhere. I have been to a corner shop, and the roast chicken is still delicious; But a chicken leg is one yuan and fifty cents in China, and it is more expensive to eat chicken wings. Tea restaurants sometimes have dominoes, etc. for guests’ entertainment, but they rarely ask the waiter for fun; Where there are many guests,There are always people waiting for seats, so there is no need to prepare them. In addition, there is an oyster shop, which specializes in oysters and is not cheap; A landlady told me that it was "unsanitary", but there were no fewer people to eat. Eating oysters is not suitable in summer, so the British say that oysters are out of order if the name of the month is not "R" (May, June, July and August).

Through observation, Zhu Ziqing believes that tea restaurants are the true colors and can represent British cooking: "Old city restaurants and tea restaurants are the local flavors. Tea restaurant and frying shop are actually nicknames for small restaurants. The’ rice’ in the tea restaurant originally refers to lunch, but the things sold are not simple, and dinner is full; In addition to frying beef ribs and mutton ribs, the frying shop also sells other things. " There is a kind of sweet sesame cake (Muffin) and Crumpet in the tea and rice shop, which makes Zhu Ziqing never forget:

Sweet sesame seed cake is like our fire, but it has no stuffing, soft and slightly sweet, as if it were made with rice flour. There are many small nests on the cake surface, which are like beehives, relatively thin and like rice noodles. Both of them are about from France; But the sweet biscuits came early, at least 200 years ago. Chefs mostly live in Drury Lane, the place where the famous theater is located. I used to sell it with a plate on my head and a bell in my hand. At that time, people loved to eat, bought them, spread more butter on them, and baked them on the fireplace in the living room or dining room, so that the oil could be soaked in them and bitten off in one bite, or they would get stuck in the quarrel on both sides. This kind of leisure life is very interesting. However, the later Woer cakes were easier to soak in oil, more fragrant, not too thick, too soft, chewy and stylish; People like it gradually, so they buy less sweet biscuits. A lady was sad when she saw this situation, so she wrote to The Times to express her grievances for the sweet biscuits. The Times specially made a small editorial to persuade people to eat sweet biscuits to preserve the ancient style. However, I would rather keep the bad things that the lady said about Woer’s cakes. About that commentator also likes to eat Woer’s cakes.

This kind of English tea restaurant is quite similar to the tea restaurant that rose in Hong Kong later. I wonder if there is any origin between the two, and if so, what kind of origin? Although there are no more materials to explain at present, it is quite intriguing; The influence of Hong Kong diet on Britain increased day by day.

Due to the blockade of the newly established People’s Republic of China (PRC) by the western world, the number of overseas Chinese dropped sharply after 1950s, and it didn’t pick up until 1980s after China’s opening-up and reform. Therefore, the development of overseas Chinese restaurants over the past 30 years has formed a relatively unique form. In 1936, there were more than 8,000 overseas Chinese in Britain, and by 1955, there were only more than 4,000 overseas Chinese, a decrease of half. However, with the influence of the ultra-left trend in the mainland in the 1960s, Hong Kong immigrants joined in one after another, rising to 43,000 in 1971, more than 100,000 in 1981 after the reform and opening up, and reaching 150,000 in the mid-1990s. The same is true of Germany. In the 1930s, there were only over 800 people, and by 1991, there were over 50,000 people. Among them, at the end of December 1986, the Federal Statistical Office of West Germany announced that there were 7730 people from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia who went to Germany to run restaurants.

With the increasing number of overseas Chinese, the number of Chinese restaurants has increased even faster, because the early overseas Chinese had a low starting point and it was difficult to accumulate the original capital for opening restaurants, which was much easier to open than the later immigrants, especially those from Hong Kong. Take Britain as an example. In 1940, there were about 30 Chinese restaurants in Britain, but after the 1950s, 150 Chinese restaurants were opened every year. By the end of 1960s, there were 3,000 Chinese restaurants in Britain. According to its basic composition, the overseas Chinese who were the first to invest in the British Chinese food industry after the war can be divided into the following three categories: the first category is the staff of the former national government in Britain. After Britain recognized People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1950, they made a living and mostly invested in the Chinese food industry; The second category is Chinese immigrants from the former British colonies; The third category is immigrants from Hong Kong, especially the New Territories, who are the most successful. According to a survey, from June 1963 to April 1964, of the 150-200 Chinese restaurants in London, only four were run by overseas Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia, and the rest were run by Hong Kong people. As most of the practitioners come from Hong Kong, Cantonese cuisine is the main dish. In his book "American Overseas Chinese Restaurant Industry" published in 1970, Dr. Chen Benchang said that there were 100,000 overseas Chinese and about 6,000 Chinese restaurants in Britain at that time, and particularly emphasized that "90% of the owners and employees were visitors from the New Territories of Hong Kong in recent years".

Since then, the taste of Chinese restaurants in Britain has changed from the traditional Cantonese flavor to the Hong Kong flavor. Even in the provinces and ports, "food in Hong Kong" has gradually surpassed "food in Guangzhou". Thanks to the contribution of Hong Kong people, China restaurants in Britain finally got rid of the suspicion of chop suey and surpassed American chop suey. When a scholar went to Harvard University in the United States to attend a short course one year, the school took good care of them and arranged for them to eat in a Chinese restaurant called Dashenglou. For twenty days in a row, there were only a few dishes, and there was no change. Almost all the dishes were sweet and creamy, and there were still many fried foods. There was absolutely no hot soup. Everyone had a large glass of cold ice water, which really hurt people and ate them every day. Relatively speaking, Chinese food in London is very delicious, especially in China City, the center of London, where there are hundreds of very good Chinese restaurants, all of which can basically cook authentic Cantonese food, dazzling hot "Cantonese dim sum" and Cantonese-style porridge with different flavors. Because of the development of the catering industry and the status of Hong Kong practitioners, a restaurant owner named Deng Zhuting from the New Territories of Hong Kong was also honored as the president of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce in London and the overseas consultant of the China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, and was invited to attend the National Day ceremony in Beijing many times. Overseas Chinese food seems to have the right style.

In addition, in the process of independence, a large number of Chinese immigrants from British colonies in Southeast Asia, such as Singapore, brought with them the flavor of Southeast Asia, adding to the charm of London Chinatown. Although the number of overseas Chinese in London Chinatown decreased from 1,000 to 200 in 1946, it did not prevent it from becoming a block where tourists concentrated again, because small restaurants with cheap and delicious Southeast Asian flavor "chicken with Chili sauce and China food, can attract customers the most".

brief Introduction of the content

Since the Opium War, the western powers have knocked on the door of China with their guns. Since then, the trend of western learning spreading to the east has prevailed. From science and technology to ideology and culture, China has played a learner everywhere, and even admired others. In the history of communication between China and foreign countries for nearly a hundred years, only one item, "Chinese cuisine", spread from the east to all parts of the world with the pace of Chinese’s learning from the west, and staged a unique drama with oriental flavor flowing from east to west.

This book traces its roots and combs the unique course of the spread and development of Chinese cuisine in the western world since modern times. The anecdotes from the popularity of Li Hongzhang chop suey in the United States to the Flower House in Paris, from the unique flavor of the Mariner’s Pavilion in London to the historical change of "Eating in Saigon" in Vietnam, lead readers to relive the "Journey to the West" of Chinese cuisine, led by Cantonese cuisine.

This book is a history of food traveling to the west, which reflects all aspects of life history, social history and political history. It is full of interest and historical significance.

　　On May 1st, the Provisional Regulations on Express Delivery was officially implemented. Last year, China’s express delivery business reached 40.06 billion pieces, which is called "a big express delivery country". As the first law and regulation for express delivery industry in China, the Regulations are not only closely related to thousands of households, but also related to the healthy development of logistics industry.

　　Should the courier put the express mail into the express cabinet without authorization and refuse to deliver it to the door? With the formal implementation of real-name registration system, who will guarantee the safety of consumers’ personal information? What are the new measures to curb over-packaging and ensure the green development of the industry? Have the Regulations fully responded to these concerns? Our reporter will find out for you.

　　— — Editor

　　Express cabinet is not a "cutting cabinet"

　　If you put the express mail into the express cabinet without permission, consumers can refuse to pick up the parcel.

　　"Since the smart courier cabinet was installed in the community, the courier brother often put the parcel inside, and the home delivery service is becoming less and less." Xia Xiaoqi, a resident of Huilongguan Community in Changping District, Beijing, complained to reporters that the courier actually let her carry the heavy goods like cribs and game fences upstairs.

　　And some companies’ express cabinets began to levy "overtime fees", which caused public dissatisfaction. According to the monitoring of China Post Express public opinion monitoring Office, only in March this year, consumers in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Hefei, Ganzhou and Jiujiang concentrated and strongly reflected the service problems of intelligent express cabinets. For example, "Express cannot be delivered quickly" and "Express cabinet is not ‘ Cutting cabinet ’ Not to mention ‘ Cashier ’ " "Express change ‘ Cache ’ It is an infringement on the rights and interests of consumers "… …

　　Does the Provisional Regulations on Express Delivery stipulate these issues?

　　Liu Junhai, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, said that according to the Regulations, an enterprise engaged in express delivery business should deliver the express mail to the agreed address, the recipient or the agent designated by the recipient, and inform the recipient or the agent to accept it in person. Therefore, it is necessary to seek the consent of consumers when putting express mail into the express cabinet. If consumers disagree, they should honor the promise of "express delivery to home". Even if you put it in the courier cabinet, you have to complete the obligation to inform, instead of leaving it in the courier cabinet.

　　"If the courier cabinet is delivered without permission, the consumer can refuse to receive the parcel and ask the courier company to send the parcel directly to the consumer." Liu Junhai added.

　　A member of the drafting group of the Regulations further explained to the reporter that "express delivery" belongs to "posting", and according to the meaning of posting stipulated in the second paragraph of Article 84 of the Postal Law, express delivery should be "delivered by name and address". "This is not only the provisions of the Regulations, but also the issue of observing the superior law." The member said that without the consent of the user, the enterprise can’t deliver by other means, such as address delivery and user collection, and must deliver it to both the "name" and the "address".

　　Then, if the user agrees that the courier brother will put the courier into the courier cabinet, is it reasonable to charge the consumer the "overtime fee"?

　　"If the community express cabinet is built by a courier company, it should not be charged, because it is part of the service that consumers buy from the courier company. More importantly, the express delivery industry has improved its efficiency and expanded its business through intelligent express cabinets, and there is no need to compete with consumers for profits. Even if the courier cabinet comes from a third-party platform, if you want to charge, you should first obtain the consent of the consumer. " Liu Junhai said.

　　However, the operator of the express cabinet believes that as a basic convenience service facility in the community, the express cabinet is not purely public welfare. Based on its potential market value, enterprises are laid by market behavior and are gradually becoming an important supplementary way of urban terminal delivery service. In order to maintain this mode of operation, it is necessary to reduce the losses of express cabinet operators, and charging is also a last resort.

　　In this regard, many consumers call for the introduction of relevant industry standards as soon as possible, clarify the charging standard of "overtime fee" for express cabinets, and reduce the possible frictions and contradictions between express companies, express cabinet enterprises and customers. The reporter learned from the State Post Bureau that the relevant management measures for express cabinets are currently being formulated and are expected to be released in the first half of this year.

　　In addition, the "Regulations" have also made relevant provisions on the "pain points" of industrial services such as violent sorting, private unpacking, and loss of express mail. For example, according to the "Regulations", if the legitimate rights and interests of users are damaged due to delay, loss, damage or shortage of internal parts, users can claim compensation from express delivery companies. At the same time, the "Regulations" also stipulate that enterprises should standardize operations to prevent damage to express mail.

　　Express real-name registration system officially implemented.

　　About 100 million pieces are received and sent by real name every day, accounting for 83% of the daily express delivery business, and the remaining 17% will be fully covered during the year.

　　With the formal implementation of the "Regulations", the real-name acceptance and delivery of express delivery is also clear in the form of regulations. If the future sender refuses to provide identity information or provides false identity information, he shall not send the mail.

　　Why should real-name registration system be implemented? "Ensuring the safety of delivery is the primary purpose. Whether you are staying or traveling by high-speed rail or plane, you must show your identity documents, and the same is true for express delivery. " The relevant person in charge of the State Post Bureau said.

　　Secondly, real-name acceptance and mailing also embodies the principle of honesty and credit. It is understood that the express waybill is a contract, and the sender enters into a contract with the courier company. The name of the courier company should be true, and the name of the sender should also be true.

　　In real life, the sender may be a natural person or a unit. If it is sent by a company, how can it be implemented in real-name registration system? The "Regulations" stipulate that the sender shall truthfully provide the name of the sender and the name of the recipient when delivering the express mail, and the responsibility shall be borne by the person. In other words, if it is sent by a company, the name of the specific person in charge must be written for traceability. The requirements for the recipient are much more flexible. You can write your personal name or the name of your company.

　　If it is a smart courier box, how to guarantee the real name receipt and delivery?

　　The relevant person in charge of HIVE BOX, an express cabinet operator, said that in Shenzhen, HIVE BOX has already delivered the express cabinet in real name. "In the self-service mailing system in HIVE BOX, customers need to submit photos of the front and back of their ID cards for real-name authentication to complete the mailing information through the webpage. After placing an order, when the parcel is stored in the cabinet, HIVE BOX will use the high-definition camera of the cabinet to verify the real name of the sender. If the order is not delivered by real name, it will be restricted to enter the cabinet. "

　　The implementation of real-name receiving and sending, users are most worried about the security of personal information. Liu Junhai introduced that the "Regulations" regulated related issues from the legal level. The "Regulations" stipulate that if an enterprise engaged in express delivery business and its employees sell, disclose or illegally provide user information known in the process of express delivery service, they can be fined up to 100,000 yuan.

　　Real-name mail delivery information system of postal industry security center of State Post Bureau — — Anyidi was launched last year. The system can provide users with a real-name QR code that is universal in the whole network and unique in identifying identity information. When sending a mail, the courier can quickly scan and check the user information by presenting the QR code to prevent the risk of identity information disclosure.

　　Since "double 11" last year, companies such as SF Express have promoted privacy sheets. On the privacy list, the name and telephone number of the recipient are hidden, which can only be obtained when the courier scans the bar code with a gun, which greatly guarantees the personal information security of the user.

　　According to the data, 153 cities across the country have piloted real-name registration system delivery, and about 100 million pieces are received and delivered in real names every day, accounting for 83% of the daily express delivery business. Ma Junsheng, director of the State Post Bureau, said at the "Ministerial Channel" of the two sessions this year that the remaining 17% should be fully covered during the year.

　　Packaging transforms to green environment protection.

　　At present, the packaging plastic bags used need 200 years to degrade under natural conditions.

　　According to statistics, in 2016, China’s express delivery business volume was 31.35 billion pieces, with a total consumption of about 3.2 billion woven bags, 6.8 billion plastic bags, 3.7 billion packing boxes and 330 million rolls of adhesive tape. With the strict cost control in the industry, plastic packaging for express delivery is mostly non-degradable and inferior plastic products, which has a serious impact on the environment. The "Regulations" pointed out the direction of green development for the industry, encouraged enterprises and senders to use degradable and reusable environmental protection packaging materials, and encouraged enterprises to take measures to recycle express packaging materials to achieve reduced utilization and reuse of packaging materials.

　　Zhao Xiaomin, an expert in the express delivery industry, said that the current Regulations only emphasize the establishment of a system of green production and consumption. "This is not enough. It is necessary to strengthen and refine the relevant green environmental protection requirements from the system."

　　From September 1st, the newly revised series of national standards for express packaging supplies will be officially implemented. The new national standard has supplemented and improved the original standard from three aspects: reduction, greening and recyclability.

　　"The new national standard has strengthened the reduction requirements." Ba Ning, executive deputy director of the Testing Center of the Postal Science Research and Planning Institute, said that on the one hand, the new national standard reduced the quantitative requirements of express envelope paper and the thickness requirements of plastic film express packaging bags; On the other hand, the choice of single and double corrugated materials for express packaging boxes is no longer stipulated, as long as the materials meet the indexes such as bursting resistance, edge pressure and puncture strength. At the same time, it is required that the printing of express packaging supplies should maintain the primary color of materials and reduce the amount of ink used.

　　"At present, the industry has made some progress in this regard." According to Ba Ning, according to the research of the Postal Science Research and Planning Institute, the usage of single corrugated boxes in the industry is gradually increasing, and the awareness of enterprise reduction is gradually strengthened.

　　In addition, the new national standard has increased the limit requirements of heavy metals and specific substances, and also clearly stated for the first time that "biodegradable plastics should be used in express packaging bags", and correspondingly increased the biodegradability requirements of biodegradable plastic express packaging bags. "The plastic bags we currently use take 200 years to degrade under natural conditions. After using biodegradable plastic express packaging bags, composting can achieve more than 90% degradation in half a year. If the temperature and humidity are appropriate, it can be completely degraded into carbon dioxide and water within one year. It is a truly environment-friendly packaging bag." Say ning.

　　"The implementation of the new national standard has the greatest impact on enterprises." Introducing Ning, the cost of using biodegradable plastic packaging bags may be more than twice that of the existing packaging bags, which poses a new challenge to the cost control of the express delivery industry, and also requires consumers to raise their awareness of environmental protection and pay more for the possible implementation of "environmental protection express delivery" in the future.

　　Ba Ning said that he hopes to improve the standards for the limit requirements of heavy metals and specific substances, eliminate low-end packaging bags, and promote the greening of packaging products.

　　However, as a recommended standard, how to ensure its implementation rate? Jin Jinghua, director of the Policy and Regulation Department of the State Post Bureau, said that the bureau will cooperate with relevant departments to carry out green certification of express packaging products, and guide and support e-commerce, express delivery enterprises and consumers to use green certified express packaging products. "At the same time, it will strengthen the supervision and inspection of the implementation of enterprise standards, increase the quality supervision and inspection of green express packaging products, incorporate green express packaging into the construction of green product credit system, explore the establishment of blacklist system, and promote the establishment of joint disciplinary mechanism." Jin Jinghua said.

　　Today, cars are no longer a simple means of transportation, but an extension of people’s lifestyle and a window to show their individuality. With the abundance of material life, consumers have become increasingly demanding for spiritual satisfaction. In addition to basic travel needs, people are paying more and more attention to the handling texture and driving quality of cars. "Not only to get into the kitchen, but also to get into the arena" is the first choice for many young people to buy a car. In the highly competitive A + market, FAW Toyota Corolla GR SPORT Sport is the best choice for this group of people, easily meeting users’ diverse needs for sports personality and pragmatism.

　　Corolla + GR, the perfect blend of glory and passion

　　When it comes to the A-Class sedan, many people will think of the famous "Corolla". From 1966 to the present, the Corolla has undergone 56 years of updates and 12 generations of changes, and the global cumulative sales volume has exceeded 50 million, becoming the highest-selling car series in the history of automobiles. With an absolute overwhelming advantage, it is firmly in the "world’s first-selling" position. According to statistics, every 35 seconds, a Corolla is selected by users around the world. Such an achievement can be said to be unprecedented, and it is rare to come later.

　　With the upgrade of Toyota’s TNGA architecture, the newly rejuvenated 12th-generation Corolla brings users a unique travel experience with its stunning appearance, rich configuration, and comfortable sense of control. Once it was listed, it received unanimous praise from consumers, continued to sell well, and endured for a long time. It can be said that "Corolla" is not only FAW Toyota’s ace product, but also an evergreen tree and leader in the domestic A-class car market. "Buy a car and choose Corolla" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

　　"Toyota GR" may not be as widely known as the Corolla. But in fact, in the eyes of the automotive industry, especially in the racing circle and car enthusiasts, GR is to Toyota what M Power is to BMW and AMG is to Mercedes-Benz. It symbolizes blood, performance and perfection. GR is the abbreviation of GAZOO Racing, Toyota’s high-performance racing division. Its predecessor can be traced back to 15 years ago. At that time, Akio Toyoda adhered to the idea that "the car competition should be the focus, and the foundation of car building technology should be refined". He personally drove the car to successfully challenge the Nürburgring 24-hour endurance race, and named the team after "GAZOO Racing".

　　Therefore, the GR, which was born to conquer the track, has become the symbol of Toyota’s high-performance cars. In 2017, Toyota officially established the GR brand to apply the experience accumulated in the event to the production car, and has formed a rich product system so far. The FAW Toyota Corolla GR SPORT Sport Edition is from the GR brand GR SPORT, which combines the classic easy-to-drive quality of the Corolla with the sports genes of the GR SPORT, bringing new car purchase options to consumers who pursue sports style.

　　Exclusive sports kit, rich in details to highlight dynamic personality

　　The legendary glory of Corolla, superimposed on the performance genes of GR, the Corolla GR SPORT ignited the passion of the market and users instantly after it went on sale. On the basis of meeting the needs of users at home, Carlo GR SPORT better shows the sports life style of the owner through design, appearance, product details, driving experience, etc., adding a touch of passion to life.

　　First of all, in terms of appearance, FAW Toyota has implanted many GR brand track sports genes for the Corolla GR SPORT Sport Edition. The carbon black front and lower grille and exterior rearview mirrors are very sporty, which is full of power against the new front bumper. With 16-inch matte black wheels and a redesigned lower side skirt, it highlights the rich sports style exclusive to the Corolla GR SPORT Sport Edition. At the same time, in the rear part of the car, the blackened taillight set enhances the fashion sense of the whole car, and the exclusive GR SPORT Sport logo further highlights the sports model identity of the Corolla GR SPORT Sport Edition.

　　Secondly, in terms of the interior, the exclusive elements of the sports version are even more ubiquitous. The exclusive GR one-click start button is full of ritual, and the manual shift is in place in one step, allowing you to feel the starting moment of the race track every time you start and stop. The exclusive seats printed by GR are even more textured. While providing users with a sense of sports wrapping, they also take into account the user’s driving comfort and upgrade the travel texture again.

　　Professional-grade sports tuning, enjoy unlimited driving fun between movements

　　In the impression of most people, the Corolla is more of a pragmatic and reliable side of the family. In fact, in the development of the Corolla family, there was such a car that planted the seeds of racing dreams in the hearts of several generations. This car is the fifth-generation Corolla Trueno 3door GT APEX version in the popular "Initial D", which is the famous AE86. Therefore, there is also a sports part in the Corolla pedigree.

　　The Corolla GR SPORT sports version has once again updated the sports genes, as the sports representative of the Corolla family, on the basis of having a new sports appearance, it has also undergone professional-grade sports tuning to make its sports performance evolve again.

　　In terms of the chassis, the Corolla GR SPORT Sport is equipped with a dedicated independent suspension system and enhances the rigidity of the front and rear lateral stabilizers, further reducing the body roll, making the handling more sensitive and the driving more stable, meeting different driving needs and providing exceptional driving pleasure.

　　In terms of power performance, the Corolla GR SPORT Sport Edition is equipped with a TNGA 1.5L jet flow control engine (Dynamic Force Engine) that is unique for driving pleasure. Under the development of the TNGA architecture, the fuel injection method is optimized to further improve the engine performance, achieving a thermal efficiency of 40% and an ultra-high compression ratio of 13:1. The comprehensive fuel consumption for 100 kilometers is as low as 5.2L. While ensuring sports performance, it also inherits the consistent fuel economy of the Corolla.

　　Inheriting the family’s excellent quality genes, demonstrating full sincerity

　　In addition to its sporty appearance and driving performance, the FAW Toyota Corolla GR SPORT Sport Edition also shows full sincerity in terms of vehicle cost performance, which makes users "love it".

　　As the first GR SPORT model to land in China, the official price of the FAW Toyota Corolla GR SPORT sports model is only 136,800 yuan, which is only 4,000 yuan more expensive than the Corolla 1.5L top model, but it can have a series of exclusive configurations such as sports appearance kit, wider tires, larger rims, leather steering wheel, sports seat, etc., which not only enriches consumers’ choices, but also implements the impression of people-friendly and easy-to-control products, such as leather durability, and shows excellent quality.

　　In the serious A-class sedan market, the FAW Toyota Corolla GR SPORT Sport Edition adds track sports genes and personalized style elements on the basis of inheriting the high quality, high durability, high safety, and high cost performance of the Corolla series to meet consumers’ diverse needs and expectations for sports performance. For most users who like light modification and pay attention to quality, the Corolla GR SPORT Sport Edition can be said to be in place in one step, saving the trouble of later modification, not only more stylish, but also more reliable in overall quality.

Flexible employment is one of the hot topics recently. According to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, as of the end of 2021, there will be 200 million flexible employment workers in China. Driven by information technology, a large number of new flexible employment needs and opportunities have arisen. Different from the characteristics of traditional employment relationships, all workers who belong to flexible employment relationships are classified as flexible employment workers. In addition to traditional flexible employment forms, with the development of new business formats, they also include a large number of takeaway riders, online car-hailing drivers, e-commerce live streaming hosts, online class teachers and other groups. Due to the flexibility of time, space and salary, these occupations are also increasingly favored by young people. Many college students choose to enter flexible employment platforms after graduation. In response to this group, the national level and the provinces have introduced corresponding support, encouragement and safeguard measures.

Liu Pengfei has been driving for almost 7 years. He goes online at 19 o’clock every day and goes offline at 4 o’clock in the morning. The longest online time is 14 hours. He can earn more than 20,000 yuan a month by working hard. During the Chinese New Year this year, his daily income is more than 1,000 yuan, which is the busiest time of the year.

Liu Pengfei, who had a job in a hospital before, talked about choosing to drive and why he could stick to it for so long. He said he liked this loose freedom, being able to get in touch with all kinds of people, and being able to drive all kinds of cars. "I have also met customers who offered me 30,000 monthly salary and asked me to be a full-time driver, but I refused. I like freedom and freshness."

entry experience

Resign from the hospital to be a substitute driver, the first step to joining the job is to take a road test

Liu Pengfei was born into a military family and was influenced by his father to choose to join the army after graduation. After the army changed his career, he was placed in a hospital in Beijing as an internal service, responsible for security work, and earned a good income. This job, which was considered stable by outsiders and a good unit, was "too comfortable" for Liu Pengfei. He felt that the day-to-day work with no upward path would make him "******". In his 20s, he began to do some side jobs after *** off work.

On the one hand, he chose to work as a substitute driver because he could earn more money, and on the other hand, he did it out of hobby. "Boys like cars. They can drive all kinds of cars and experience different driving feelings, which is very interesting to me."

Liu Pengfei introduced that when he first started working as a chauffeur, the chauffeur was a major offline company, and he needed to call a long time in advance. The master was relatively small, the cost was very high, and he could not receive a few orders a day, which was very expensive for the guests. In 2015, Didi started the chauffeur business and was attracted by the advertising. In August, Liu Pengfei registered for Didi chauffeur. He was the second batch of chauffeur masters on the platform.

If you want to be a chauffeur, the threshold is still relatively high. According to Liu Pengfei, the current entry process is that after the individual registers, the platform has advanced administrative review, confirms that there is no criminal record, no dangerous driving records such as drunk driving and speeding, and then conducts an interview. If you have a large area of tattoos, you will not be able to pass the interview. After passing the interview, you will also have to take the unified driving school road test, similar to the "Subject 2" test, which tests the driver’s proficiency in driving a manual car; after passing the test, you will go to the training service process. "We have regulations on each link from the first sentence we say when receiving the order, to the customer meeting to the boarding service, the start of the journey, and to the end of the order." After all the training, it will take about a week

Liu Pengfei found that with the deepening of people’s awareness of the rule of law, more and more people are called on behalf of the driver, and his income has also increased significantly. Moreover, by taking orders through the Internet, he does not have to worry about not having orders, and because of his good performance and service, he can receive more high-quality orders. In 2017, he quit his job as a hospital editor and dedicated himself to being a driver.

income level

Normally, it is more than 10,000 a month, and the farthest distance is 1200 kilometers.

The family did not know about Liu Pengfei’s resignation until two years later, when his father went directly to the hospital to find him without saying hello, his colleagues leaked the truth. Liu Pengfei said that until now, the family only knew that he was "running Didi" and did not say that he was a driver, because the old man did not understand and always felt that he would come out at night and come into contact with some drunk people, so he did not want them to worry.

"I didn’t think I would do it for so long, but I’m still very willing to continue doing it." Liu Pengfei said that the working hours are free, and he "comes out when he wants to, takes a day off when he wants to, and doesn’t have to clock in to work." And the more work, the better the income.

Liu Pengfei lives in Tongzhou District, Beijing, and every night around 7 o’clock, he will go online in places where orders are concentrated, such as Moon River and 1988 Town in Tongzhou, "because there are many good restaurants in these places, and business banquets are here. This is also our main customer group, because if it is a family dinner, many of them are driven back by the daughter-in-law." Then as the system assigns, he will go to Tongzhou, Beijing City, and even other places in the suburbs of Beijing.

"After working for so many years, I have never cancelled an order for personal reasons. For example, if it is too far away, I will go anywhere. Fangshan, Pinggu, etc., in my eyes, there is no place too far." At around 4 am, with the decrease in orders, Liu Pengfei went offline and rode his electric car back to his home in Tongzhou.

Once, a guest placed a driving order in Harbin, which was the farthest he had ever received, more than 1,200 kilometers. The guest needed to drive two cars back to Harbin as a wedding car, but only one person knew how to drive. The next morning at 7 am, Liu Pengfei drove off and drove to the destination at 10 pm. The whole journey took 13 hours. The guest insisted on buying a plane ticket for him to send him back to Beijing the next morning. Liu Pengfei earned 2,900 yuan for this order.

For drivers, there are obvious seasonal orders in a year, and more orders in winter. The busiest months of the year are the twelfth and first months. "From the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the daily income is more than 1,000 yuan; from the fourth to the sixth day of the first lunar month this year, I earned 3,500 yuan after running for three days." Liu Pengfei said that the income of driving is relatively good. Normally, it is no problem to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. If it is a little harder, you can get more than 20,000 yuan. "The possibility of more than 30,000 yuan is a little higher on the Internet," Liu Pengfei said with a smile.

Work Story

Be invited to work full-time 30,000 monthly salary

Once bravely helped catch a car thief

As a substitute driver for many years, Liu Pengfei has not only met all kinds of people and driven all kinds of cars, but also encountered all kinds of things, including nobles and madmen.

One night in 2019, Liu Pengfei received a drunken driving order from Tongzhou to Tiantongyuan. He drove normally in the inner lane of the Fifth Ring Road according to the maximum speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour. There was a dispute between two passengers in the back row of the road. One of them was drunk and suddenly opened the door. At that time, there were two large trucks parallel to each other. The large truck in the middle lane almost collided with the large truck in the outer lane in order to avoid their vehicles. Liu Pengfei quickly stopped. "Who knew that after getting out of the car, the male guest who opened the door gave me two hits directly. He also said, ‘Why didn’t you stop if you asked you to stop?’ In fact, he didn’t say to stop me at all." Liu Pengfei said that another guest quickly apologized to him, saying that his friend had drunk too much to make such rude behavior. Liu Pengfei, who is more than 1.8 meters tall and has been a soldier, did not fight back, but just reported to the platform according to the process, called the police, and swallowed the grievance in his stomach. The next day, he accepted the mediation of the police station and refused the compensation of the other party. "He has a good attitude. There were two people the night before. I know he drank too much, forget it."

Another time, Liu Pengfei took an order to Tianjin at 1am. When he arrived in Tianjin, he found that it was raining very heavily there. After parking the car, the guest gave him an umbrella and asked him how to get back. He said he planned to take the first high-speed train back at 5am. After a while, the guest came back and said: "I went back to check, my daughter-in-law is not at home, you can come to my house to make do with the night." Eventually, the guest dragged Liu Pengfei home and cooked two packs of instant noodles. The rainy night was unforgettable to him.

On several occasions, because of Liu Pengfei’s good skills, good service, and discernment, guests asked about his background. When they learned that he had been a soldier and worked as a security guard in a hospital, they directly offered to "come to my company to work as my full-time driver," with the highest monthly salary of 30,000. But Liu Pengfei refused, "It is indeed more stable and high-paying, but I know what the purpose of my work is. I still like this sense of freedom. I can contact different people and take care of my family and children, so I refused."

Once, Liu Pengfei accompanied a fellow team member to the traffic team to deal with violations. With years of professional sensitivity, he saw two sneaky people on the side of the road circling a motorcycle, "I said these two must be thieves, so I parked the car in front of them, and when I saw them turn around and come back, I was basically sure. I dialed 110 directly, and the other party asked me for the specific location and how many thieves there were. During my call, they succeeded. One of them went back to ride their own car, and the other was about to get on the bus and leave. I told the 110 operator directly, I’ll catch it for you! 110 reminded me to do what I can, and if not, just wait for our police to arrive. I was afraid that if they ran away, I would go up with another master and press the thief there. We also checked his pockets to make sure there was no sharp knife or something like that, and then controlled and waited for the police. His accomplices later met and wanted to run, so I went up and dragged him down directly. He may have been scared silly at the time. "Later, they handed the person over to the police who rushed over, and also cooperated with the police station to make a confession. The police station said that he applied to the Chaoyang District Civil Affairs Bureau for a brave and advanced individual. Although he was not elected in the end, Liu Pengfei felt very proud.

Industry transformation

There is a new trend in driving, and the valet goes to the 4S store for maintenance.

Today, Liu Pengfei has become the captain of the driving team. He manages 60 or 70 masters, and the team has 200 people at most. New drivers will ask him if they don’t understand anything, and he will remind everyone to make more money online during peak periods. He also opened the account at Douyin and posted some interesting things he encountered in work and life.

After seven years of driving, Liu Pengfei found that his job had changed. For example, more and more people were doing driving, and the range of orders received was shortened from the previous 3 kilometers to about 1 kilometer now, but there were also many more customers. The people who called the driver were not only drunk, but also had services similar to "errands". For example, if they didn’t have time to go to the 4S store for maintenance, they called the driver to help. They also cooperated with Audi, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and Toyota stores, and the 4S store would pay to help customers call the driver for maintenance. Some second-hand car dealers would also use the driver to collect the car without delaying other trips.

When it comes to work testimonials, Liu Pengfei said that chauffeur is a real job that can get more work and more money, and as long as you pay, you will get a good return. Of course, pure physical effort cannot completely do the chauffeur work well, but also have a good sense of service and experience accumulation. Of course, there are not easy things in the work. You must be able to withstand waiting, accept bad weather and all kinds of customers. At this time, you must control your emotions and understand them as much as possible from the perspective of customers. You will accumulate regular customers for yourself, and ultimately benefit yourself.

　　"to the sky kingdom" was a hit for a while, and Dilraba’s little fox Feng Jiu left a deep impression on the audience. One year later, Dilraba, who had only made her debut for five years, became one of the first-line actresses, playing the leading role in several major dramas. At present, she starred in the costume fantasy drama "Fire is like a Song", which is being broadcasted. The single-day webcast record continues to lead, and she herself has topped the artist’s new media index list for 16 consecutive days. For such a rapid rate of success, the consensus in the industry’s evaluation of Dilraba is that he is willing to endure hardships and be dedicated enough.

　　In the past four years, she has never rested and worked hard to do every job. During the filming of "A Song of Fire", Dilraba also worked extremely hard, and his eyes were injured when he slapped the play. At one time, he could only appear with half of his face, insisting that he did not fall behind in the filming progress. For Dilraba, he grew up with the characters in this work. If the glamour and persistence of "Feng Jiu" in Sansheng opened the audience’s goodwill for her, then the maturity and tenacity of "as strong as a song" is an important threshold for Dilraba to move from Hua Dan to a big woman.

　　Fire Like a Song focuses on the growth of rivers and lakes from the delicate perspective of women. In the play, the strong and independent inspirational female image infected the audience, and the cool and heroic martial arts drama was equally impressive. In an interview, Dilraba said that because there are a lot of dramas in each episode, it is necessary to constantly practice martial arts movements. "Lieruge mainly uses whips in the drama. When I first started practicing, I was not skilled. I hit my own eyes and could only shoot half of my face."

　　From a little girl who is surrounded by love to a chivalrous woman who gives her love voluntarily, every time she meets a turning point, such as a song, she has to go through a layer of transformation. The upgraded role setting makes the role gradually full and vivid, which also makes Reba experience no small challenge: "The most difficult performance should be every turning point, which is difficult to control, and some things have new growth. I think this process is very difficult." After all kinds of changes, Ruge’s character gradually became calm, and the bright spot of strong independence gradually became prominent. This kind of growth makes Reba feel wonderful: "I like the process of growing up like a song, that is, she will become stronger after encountering some things, and everyone can clearly see her growth. She wants others to love her, and she takes the initiative to give love and gain love. This process is particularly wonderful."

　　In fact, there are many similarities between Ruge and Reba’s personality. When the cast was first announced, many fans of the original book recognized Reba’s role as Lieruge. Producer Gao Chen also said that both of them are strong and persistent, and their roles and actors can communicate with each other. The filming period of "Fire Like a Song" coincided with Reba’s growth and transformation, and she was deeply impressed by the wind and rain with the characters: "I think the biggest change and breakthrough of this play is to grow up with her, which also allows me to quickly integrate into the plot."

　　Talking about the future development, Dilraba said that he is filming the movie Legend of the Sun and Moon with Shawn Dou, and then he will shoot the TV series Sleeping on the Pillow with Sansheng III. In addition, the movie "21 Carat" with Guo Jingfei will meet the audience soon.
