How far can hundreds of thousands of people go with online quiz game APP?

Winning money by answering questions, some netizens got thousands of dollars a week.

Winning money by answering questions, some netizens got thousands of dollars a week.

  Answer the questions, pass the exam, and get 12 questions correctly, and you will be able to share the bonus with other winners! Summit, Cheese Superman, Million Winners, Million Heroes … … Recently, these knowledge quiz apps have brushed many people’s circle of friends, and some people have tasted the results and are complacent; Some people are crazy about it and gang up; Some people are dismissive and scoff.

  The summit meeting alone can reach a maximum of nearly 600,000 people. Behind the popularity, more people question, what is the profit of such a "throwing money" quiz? How long will it last?

  Hot: office white-collar group play

  At 4 o’clock on the afternoon of January 11th, in the meeting room of an Internet company in the photoelectric park of Liangjiang New Area, before the weekly meeting, 11 employees stared at their mobile phones. At 5 o’clock, there will be a round of answering questions at the "Summit Meeting", with a prize of 50,000 yuan.

  "Let’s start, let’s talk in groups!" At 4: 45, everyone couldn’t help but be excited and opened the APP. Someone said, "I’ve prepared three mobile phones, and I’m sure I can make it to the top this time!"

  "What is the first word in most English test dictionaries? Who knows? " "I didn’t pass Band 4. Do you know?" "Come on, just ten seconds!" The first question stuck many people in the office … …

  Xiao Jin, a staff member, said that everyone can answer questions together, and the collective wisdom is great! Inviting others to answer questions together can also increase one’s life (an opportunity to ask the wrong questions), and many colleagues in the company are "trapped" in this game. In the past two weeks, Xiaojin invited more than 30 colleagues, but only twice succeeded in winning the top prize and got a bonus of more than 30 yuan.

  Experience: At least 200,000 people are online

  What is the magic of these answering apps, occupying so many users so quickly? From January 10th, our reporter downloaded the popular "Rushing to the Top Conference" and "Cheese Superman" respectively to experience answering questions.

  In the form of answering questions, the gameplay of each platform is basically the same. The questions are given by the host and answered by netizens online. There are 12 multiple-choice questions in each game, and those who get all the answers correctly within the specified time can divide the bonus.

  After two days, 200,000 people took part in the least answer, and the bonus was at least 50,000 yuan. I didn’t get extra life by invitation code. Journalists who "fight alone" didn’t succeed once, and some friends only got 10 yuan’s reward.

  These 12 questions are all-encompassing, and all of them should be answered quickly within 10 seconds. “‘ Failure is the mother of success ’ ‘ Mother ’ What does it mean? " "What does the idiom vanilla beauty mean?" "Which organ does earthworm rely on to get oxygen on the ground?" Such digressions abound.

  In addition to the difficulty of the topic, what makes the respondents vomit is the failure of the live broadcast software of major platforms. Stuck and delay occur from time to time, which also leads to users dropping out.

  "There is a question asking what is the default screen capture shortcut for iPhone7." Xiaojin said that he was using the iPhone7. At that time, he thought he was smart and tried every option. As a result, … … The phone crashed, and the hope of rushing to the top was ruined.

  Response: "open up" if you can’t answer it.

  This week’s game rankings show that the player who has accumulated the most bonuses this week has a bonus of more than 3,051.43 yuan, and the player ranked 100 has accumulated a bonus of 1,652.89 yuan. The total prize money accumulated in the list is up to 5159.74 yuan. This kind of achievement is simply "hanging up" for many participants.

  So, is there really skill?

  "Is there a group meeting at 9: 30 tonight?" "Cheese makes quick progress" … … In a QQ group called "Answering Mutual Assistance", at the beginning of each live answer, someone will send an answer quickly in the group. Thousands of messages a day, and "addicted" members are online for nearly 10 hours a day.

  Player Ms. Bai said that in order to get the bonus, she and her colleagues formed a chat group of 20 people, nicknamed "Open Black Group". With several knowledgeable colleagues in the group, Ms. Bai had rushed to the top three times and accumulated more than 40 yuan.

  Of course, there are other "tricks": searching for answers online within 10 seconds, answering questions by multiple mobile phones using live broadcast time difference, and spending 1 yuan online shopping for "resurrection opportunity" … …

  Voice: Some people support and some people criticize.

  Mr. Duan, a middle-level leader of an Internet company in Liangjiang New Area, said that all six "soldiers" under his command were "disarmed" by live answers, and the whole army was wiped out. For this form of game, Mr. Duan sneered: "It’s like someone throwing money on the rooftop, and a group of people blindly pick it up, and they have been busy for a whole day and picked up a dime."

  Mr. Duan said that the prototype of this game came from an application called HQ abroad. In fact, this model is the "mobile version" of Q&A programs such as "Open the Door" and "One Stop to the End" in previous years. Let a large number of people pay blind attention to it, "delaying work and wasting time."

  "It’s not for the money, it can broaden the knowledge." Ms. Bai, a staff member, said that answering questions can consolidate the knowledge she has learned before, enrich her knowledge, and cooperate with colleagues to play games, which can also enhance the relationship between colleagues.

  ■ Analysis

  Mainly for traffic and users.

  May "come and go in a hurry"

  An industry insider engaged in software development in Photoelectric Park said that this kind of answering APP seems to be throwing money, and the ultimate goal is nothing more than competing for traffic and users.

  In comparison, the customer acquisition cost of the live answering APP is very low. Some media have calculated that the "Rushing to the Top Conference" spent 100,000 yuan on the day of its official launch, which attracted nearly 300,000 people to participate, and the cost of obtaining customers was only a little more than 30 cents, far lower than that of major Internet companies.

  In addition, the "resurrection" opportunity of this APP is an "invitation mechanism": as long as one user uses the invitation code, he can get the resurrection opportunity, which also gives the APP the means to spread and precipitate users quickly.

  "Advertising is the profit model of Internet companies, and so is the live answer." According to insiders, with the live question-and-answer becoming a game for all, whether it is "title" or the host’s oral broadcast, the effect of advertising in this closed situation is expected.

  However, some insiders believe that live answering questions is only a temporary need. Without continuous user demand, this business model is difficult to sustain, "coming in a hurry and going in a hurry".

You don’t understand the two-dimensional world: quickly understand "100,000 cold jokes"

Why is it so popular?

Wulitou+Japanese tucao+heavy taste+parody+good story = super popularity

    "100,000 Cold Jokes" was originally a cartoon drawn by cartoonist Han Wu. Since June, 2010, it has been serialized on a sinister website, and its popularity has exploded, with a total of 1.5 billion network hits and 73 million readings. In July 2012, the cartoon was turned into an animated series, which was serialized and played on the video website. It was clicked more than 10 million times in three days. By the end of the first season, the number of online clicks reached 1 billion, and the average number of single episodes was over 90 million times. Whether you have a concept or not, these figures mean that they are very popular. So, how does it do it?

Almost all the main characters in 100,000 Cold Jokes are taken from other classic works.

    This is first attributed to its nonsense style. Every episode of "Ten Lengs" cartoon is a spoof of other classic film and television works or popular elements on the Internet. Its main chapters are Hulu, Nezha, Pinocchio and Journey to the West, etc. The stories are closely related to the classic works involved in the title, or directly taken from them. Like the first episode of the first season, it tells the story of Nezha’s birth in the list of gods: Li Jing’s wife was pregnant for three years and gave birth to Nezha. Unexpectedly, he was born with an adult figure and was ugly. The author’s brain is wide open, which makes Li Jing redesign Nezha’s appearance like playing a computer game, so the latter becomes a monster with a face and a voice like a little girl, but with a huge figure and a very uncoordinated head and body.

    Secondly, the success of "Ten Lengs" is also inseparable from its Japanese-style spit throughout the whole article. The main characters spit almost all the time. They complain about the illogical behavior of other characters and even the unreasonable plot design of the creator with exaggerated tone and extremely fast speech speed, which makes the lines become a kind of self-mockery of the creator, and self-mockery is a kind of advanced humor. Its source of nutrition is the Japanese cartoon "Funny Comics Day and Peace" which is popular on the Internet, and the latter draws on the talents known as Japanese cross talk. This form of comedy is usually performed by two people, one is responsible for playing the fool and the other is responsible for finding fault with anger. Although it is imitation, the content of Ten Lengs is original, and it is closely related to the growth experience and cultural background of young audiences in China, so it has regained its vitality.

    Bad customs are also one of the reasons for the popularity of this series. Still taking the first episode of the first season as an example, after hearing the good news, Li Jing rushed into the delivery room and found that his wife had put a huge ball at the bedside, thinking it was a fetus. He was so angry that he was about to split the ball in half, but his wife stopped him, saying that it was just a nose excrement that she had been boring for more than three years. Another example is "Superman" in the first episode of the second season. The hero in the film is called "Shit Superman", and he can only become a superhero after shit. This evil custom is not limited to shit, but also the reproductive system: in the second episode of the second season, the protagonist must attack the weak position of dinosaurs to defeat them, and this weak position refers to the dinosaur’s "Little Tintin".

    The film is also full of references, parody or ridicule to other media, including computer games, movies, TV dramas, advertisements, news programs and works of art … … Excavate is set to be 100% empty-handed, and every time he raises his sword and cuts people, he is always caught by others inexplicably. This refers to computer games. The stool superman can’t change because of constipation, so the creator immediately inserted an advertisement of "Jushuang brand" Kaisailu here; The key parts of the dinosaur are mosaiced, which is undoubtedly a "tribute" AV film. We might as well think that each episode of "100,000 Cold Jokes" is completed by quoting and piecing together, and there are not many purely original plots and characters in this work.

    But this does not mean that "100,000 Cold Jokes" does not pay attention to stories. In fact, the reason why it can make people never tire of watching it depends on the story conflict hidden under the fancy packaging. Although an episode lasts only five minutes, it also follows the theory of Hollywood classic plays, putting the characters in a difficult position and letting them come out through their own efforts: Li Jing’s dilemma is that his wife gave birth to a monster; The dilemma of shit superman is that it can’t be pulled out. In the process of getting rid of the predicament, the protagonist will conflict with the external environment and other roles again and again. Conflict is the root of the story’s vitality and the key to shaping the characters.

Cold Dance, Li Shujie andHenry Lu

Who created 100,000 Cold Jokes?

Low-key original author+couple director+new company = high-profile works

    At the movie premiere on December 28th, Han Wu, a cartoonist who has always kept a low profile and never appeared in public, quietly appeared and answered his long-puzzled fans’ gender questions. Judging only from his appearance and voice, this young man is tall and thin, and he is more shy than Lu Hengyu and Li Shujie, directors of dramas and movies. "100,000 Cold Jokes" was originally just his work, but the serialization of "Hulupian" stopped. Unexpectedly, after the serialization of "The End of the World" resumed, it gained a lot of popularity. There is an evil spirit and the idea of making it into a series cartoon.

    Yaoqi is a comic sharing website launched in October 2009. Its full name is Yaoqi original comic DreamWorks, which belongs to Beijing April Star Network Technology Co., Ltd., which is a subsidiary of Shanda Network. Since its establishment, Yaoqi has always positioned itself as an Internet company. There is no comic book author in the company. It mainly obtains works through manuscripts and netizens’ contributions, and provides readers with all kinds of original comics such as fans, teenagers and girls. Cold Dance began to serialize comics in a sinister way by submitting a manuscript, and became the most popular star author of this website because of "100,000 Cold Jokes".

    In 2012, the demon found Lu Hengyu and Li Shujie, whose animation works have been published. Both directors were born in 1980s, and graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Animation Department of Shaanxi University of Science and Technology respectively. In 2006, Lu Hengyu made his feature film debut "Days in the Clouds" and met Li Shujie. They have worked in Chengdu Zhongxuan Digital, Beijing Huazang Guangming and Chengdu Katu Animation. In 2009, they collaborated on a series of short films "The City of Ivory", with Li Shujie as the director and Lu Hengyu as the screenwriter and producer. In 2012, Lu Hengyu and Li Shujie Studio was formally established to undertake the production of the drama version of 100,000 Cold Jokes, one episode per month, with the two co-writers and directors.

    At present, the business of Lu Hengyu and Li Shujie Studios has been greatly expanded, no matter whether it is evil or not. There is a demon spirit that began to move to the mobile animation market, providing content to the animation bases of operators such as mobile and telecommunications, and launching APP applications. At the same time, it also made a further breakthrough in the adaptation of animation film and television drama, produced another animated drama series "Duannao", and plans to turn it into a movie. In addition, it also paid attention to the development of peripheral products, launched shirts, business cards, etc. around the brand of "100,000 jokes", and cooperated with the publishing house to publish comic books of "100,000 jokes". At the end of 2012, Lu Hengyu and Li Shujie cooperated with Tencent to launch the 50-episode animated film "Brother Dead" based on the comic book of the same name.

Big movie producers, second from right and third from right are crowdfunding project investors.

How are big movies made?

Crowdfunding+tripartite investment+advertising placement+resource replacement =0 cost

    100,000 Cold Jokes is still directed by Lu Hengyu and Li Shujie, and it has been widely discussed since its preparation. This aspect is related to the large number of fans accumulated in comics and dramas, but it also benefits from its unique fund-raising method: crowdfunding. The so-called crowdfunding is to raise funds for the public. In March 2013, the crowdfunding project "100,000 Cold Jokes" was launched in roll call time, a professional crowdfunding website, becoming the first film crowdfunding project in China. By August of that year, the project had raised 1.37 million yuan from 5,533 people, and the production work started smoothly. Crowdfunding has also become a hot topic in the film industry that year.

    However, more than 1 million yuan is far from enough to make a movie. Some media said that the production and publicity cost of this film was more than 30 million. Chen Hongwei, the producer of the film and Wanda Pictures, also revealed that crowdfunding is more like a marketing move for the film. Judging from the attention of its harvest, this marketing can be said to be successful. In fact, before the crowdfunding project was launched, Wanda Pictures, Yaoqi and Xuandong Communication had already raised funds. Through crowdfunding, they not only expanded the audience of the film, but also learned about the possible reaction of the market in advance. In addition, they also took the opportunity to convey such a message to the outside world: "Ten Lengs" is trendy, and even its financing methods are at the forefront of the times.

    Advertising placement also brings a lot of money to the film. Suning.cn, Xiaomi Technology and China Merchants Bank all placed advertisements in the film. Compared with other films, the explicit degree of implanted advertisements in this film is staggering. In addition to showing the sponsoring brands in turn at the beginning of the film, the producer directly designed Xiaomi mobile phone and China Merchants Bank Card as the key props of the film, and the protagonist relied on them to save the world. In the course of the story, an advertisement for Suning Tesco was also unprecedented on the big screen. Like the drama version, the advertisement has become a funny stalk of this film. It is abrupt, but it makes sense, so it is easily accepted by the audience.

    With the replacement of resources, "Ten Lengs" has also received publicity and ticketing support from Sina, Guevara, Blueport and other media platforms. Suning.cn also put advertisements in more than 50 office buildings in Beijing for this cooperation. Coupled with the high-priced new media copyright, the big movie "100,000 Cold Jokes" has already recovered its cost before it was released. With Wanda’s powerful distribution system, it is not a problem for the film to make a profit on New Year’s Day. The producer’s box office expectation is 100 million yuan, which is obviously a very pragmatic goal in this era when the box office is over 100 million yuan. However, for this small-budget production, it already means a rich profit return.

Writer Li Chungang: Killing Year Pig Cooking Miscellaneous Vegetables; The Reunion Dinner in Xitougou, Erlang Mountain, Western Sichuan; Oral Folk Custom; My Spring Festival Memory.

Text | Li Chungang
Xitougou is a natural village under Erlang Mountain in Sijing Town, tianquan county, Ya ‘an City, Sichuan Province. For me, the year of Xitougou begins on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
At this time, those Xitougou people who have worked outside for a whole year are almost back, and I always have time to go back until the end of the year. Therefore, as soon as they return to Xitougou, they will call me one after another, or arrange for the younger generation, or even call me after receiving instructions from a handful of elders who are getting older and less and less every year to determine when I will go back, so that they can arrange the reunion dinner.
▲ Lianggen drawing
Because it is located between the mountains in western Sichuan, the reunion dinner in Xitougou is obviously different from other places. This difference is not only what we have called it since we were born, but also the content of the reunion dinner, which has always been the same: chicken, duck, fish and meat. Meat, especially pork, is essential for every family; Chicken, duck, and fish are three kinds, depending on their habits, tastes, and even economic conditions. For many years from small to large, almost every family in Xitougou only ate pork, and it seems that overnight, every family can have whatever they want on the dinner table of the family reunion dinner.
Pork is specific, but it can’t be shaken by thunder. After winter, the slaughtered pigs are smeared with salt and hung on the stove. After a few days of smoking, they become a dried pig’s head, a "sitting pier" with tail, intestines, tongue and belly-with a "head" and a "tail", plus viscera, which indicates completeness and perfection-before cooking the new year’s meal, they are removed from the stove and burned off the remaining hairs on the skin.
▲ Kill the Year Pig (photo by Jian Hong)
The most noteworthy thing is that it is cooked with pork into "miscellaneous vegetables". The so-called miscellaneous food actually includes four kinds: dried bamboo shoots, dried green beans, kelp and radish, so it is called miscellaneous food, which is about an ancestor who started from the long-term monotonous diet in Xitougou and then passed it on from mouth to mouth. Xitougou, located in the mountains, is rich in bamboo shoots. Every late spring and early summer, drying mats (mats made of bamboo sticks and specially used for drying grain and vegetables) are placed in the drying dam in front of almost every house. Those bamboo shoots collected from the mountains and left after three meals a day are cooked and spread in the drying mats, and after several fierce suns, they become dried bamboo shoots. The processing method of dried green beans is the same, except that green beans need to be planted by themselves, and the production season is later than bamboo shoots. Kelp, on the other hand, was bought back from the supermarket in the market years ago and washed after soaking in water in advance.
After the pork in the cauldron is cooked, take it out of the cauldron. After the dried bamboo shoots, dried green beans and kelp are almost cooked, put the big white radish pieces that have just been pulled up from the ground, and then open them for a while, and a cauldron full of "miscellaneous vegetables" will become. What is not eaten at the reunion dinner is served in a big bowl and becomes an essential dish for every meal. After eating "miscellaneous vegetables", it is almost "broken five". Strange to say, on other days, the "miscellaneous vegetables" cooked with the same materials and the same cooker and firewood could never taste the same as the reunion dinner.
This past New Year, I finally got back to Xitougou the day before New Year’s Eve. When I got back, it was like rushing to the scene. Every family had a family reunion dinner: my brother-in-law’s family, my family, my big cousin’s family, my adopted mother’s family, my seventh brother’s family, and Hua Ge’s family … until the abdominal distension was like a drum, and nothing could fit in their bellies. Even so, several of them failed to participate after being invited.

A table of New Year’s Eve is full of affection.

On New Year’s Eve, we had a reunion dinner, enjoyed family affection and read mulberry. Every Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriot and overseas Chinese has his own "New Year’s Eve story".
Pot dishes that mean "pots are full"
White-cut chicken "starting from eating chicken and reuniting the whole family"
Bless the long-term dish of "long life"
Qingtian sugar cake with fragrant lips and teeth
A basin full of "auspicious dishes"
The real taste is reunion.
Our reporter Chen Ran
Deep-fried goo-goo meat, hung with sweet and sour thick juice made of sugar and vinegar, and presented with colored pepper and pineapple pieces; Pinch the good tiger spots out of the pot with a stopwatch, pour steamed fish and soy sauce, and then pour a thin layer of ginger and onion hot oil …
Every New Year’s Eve, Mrs. Xie’s kitchen is full of fragrance, wrapped in a strong flavor of the year.
"In a year, my favorite meal is New Year’s Eve. Although it is harder than usual, it is the happiest thing to make your family satisfied and happy. " Mrs. Xie, who lives in Chai Wan on Hong Kong Island, and Mr. Sheng have two sons. Today, sons have grown up and left home to study and work hard. Therefore, the Spring Festival has become one of the few reunion moments for Xie Jia every year. A week before New Year’s Eve, Xie Jia had already begun to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Speaking of New Year’s Eve dishes, Mrs Xie is always in high spirits. "The eldest son loves to eat cows. I bought the freshest oxtail early, stewed it with lobster sauce and bean paste, stewed it until it was soft and rotten, and the bovine bone marrow was also dissolved in the soup. Every bite was rich in gum and sauce. Shrimp is my husband’s favorite. In the New Year’s Eve dinner, Aauto Quicker’s braised black tiger shrimp is served, which is fried first and then stewed. The red color is festive and appetizing. My youngest son likes steamed ribs that are soft and waxy. This time, I put a layer of tender tofu under the marinated ribs and put them into the pot. Gravy and hot tofu are estimated to make him eat a big bowl of rice … "
Mrs Xie smiles brightly. A hearty and delicious New Year’s Eve dinner is full of love for your family.
Hong Kong-style New Year’s Eve dinner pays attention to "good luck", so every family must have several kinds of "auspicious dishes" on the table, "fish every year", pig’s hand symbolizing "windfall" and "round and round" mushrooms … In Tangfang Village, Pingshan, Yuen Long, New Territories, a pot dish feast meaning "full of pots" has been circulated for generations. Pingshan traditional basin restaurant started with this ancient "Hong Kong flavor". Deng Lianxing, a descendant of the third generation, introduced that the traditional potted vegetables are burned with firewood, which has a unique fireworks fragrance for a long time.
A seemingly simple pot dish is actually full of flavors. The ingredients include prawns, oysters, squid, pigskin, mushrooms, chicken, herring balls, pork, radish, bamboo shoots and Nostoc flagelliforme. Roast, stew, roast, stir-fry, marinate, stir-fry … All kinds of ingredients are self-contained, and then stacked layer by layer according to a specific order, and different flavors absorb and infiltrate each other, making people feel more delicious as they eat.
The New Year’s Eve dinner should be delicious, as the classic TV series in Hong Kong says, "The most important thing for a family is to be neat." In the laughter, the whole family sits around the table, which is the true taste of New Year’s Eve.
Mama home-cooked dish
Memories of the taste of the year
Our reporter Suning
In the small town of Haojiang, the end of the twelfth lunar month is getting stronger and stronger, and people are happily preparing for the New Year. "At the end of the day, business people will feast their buddies and give out year-end bonuses." Li Baohua, who works as a civil servant in the Macao SAR government, said that the 28th of the year is a day to wash dirty clothes, and families should clean their houses to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
New Year’s Eve is the climax of the year. "When my grandmother was alive, she always adhered to traditional customs." Li Baohua recalled that the old lady got up early in the morning every New Year’s Eve, prepared a table of small dishes to worship in front of the ancestral memorial tablet, and prayed for a smooth coming year. Then go straight to the vegetable market to prepare a reunion dinner, that is, New Year’s Eve.
In Li Baohua’s impression, the 30-year-old vegetable market has always been a sea of people. People should not only choose the freshest ingredients for the evening reunion dinner, but also prepare "year-pressing" things. According to the traditional custom, lettuce, celery and onion with roots should be tied with red rope and attached with red paper. A shad, can’t scale, can’t laparotomy, complete a tail. Some people have to put a whole white-cut chicken, and all the ingredients, together with oranges with leaves, will be stored from the 30 th of the year to the second day of the New Year’s Day, in order to have a head and a tail and have more than one year.
Reunion is the eternal theme of New Year’s Eve. When the sun sets on the western hills, the whole family sits neatly around a table. And almost every dish on this table has its meaning.
"Every family celebrates the New Year’s Eve with lettuce by the fire. Full of yellow sand makes a big cockroach, and the firecrackers ring in the sky. " Baohua Li said that the last flower-exploring Shang Yanliu mentioned the word "Xian" in his poem "Yueyuan Old Calendar Folk Bamboo Branch Ci", which is homophonic with "Xian" in Cantonese, implying that Xian is rich in years. However, yellow sand clams are rarely seen in today’s reunion dinner, but pork tongue and oyster sauce are indispensable. People in Guangfu call the pig’s tongue "pig’s tongue", and "pig’s tongue" and "profit" are homonyms. People from businessmen to wage earners have a special liking for this dish. There are chicken, boiled chicken, fried chicken with soy sauce, ginger and onion chicken … No matter how to make it, a chicken is indispensable for the reunion dinner.
For Li Baohua, the best reunion dinner must be mom’s home-cooked meal. What I miss all my life is also the figure of my mother in the taste of the year. "My memory of the taste of the year began with my mother’s soy chicken in the reunion dinner." Li Baohua said that her chicken with soy sauce was not soaked, but fried. Heat a red pot, put down the oil and chunks of ginger, fry the chicken until fragrant, pour the adjusted soy sauce, and cook slowly with slow fire. The skin is fragrant and the meat is lazy, and the thick juice is heavy.
All kinds of special flavors
Behind is hometown.
Our reporter Wang Yao
In Taiwan Province, since the first half of the year, the news of sweeping the Spring Festival and the advertisement of the New Year’s Eve at the door of the store have been repeatedly broadcast by TV stations, and the message of "Spring Festival is coming soon" has been constantly released, which makes people involuntarily look forward to the "big meal" on New Year’s Eve.
Mr. and Mrs. Zheng Shijie, who are in their forties, live in Taipei. "On New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Eve, I usually go to my husband’s house to eat, and I will go back to my mother’s house on the second day." Mrs. Zheng, who is usually in charge of cooking, said that she was very relaxed on New Year’s Eve. "The kitchen on New Year’s Eve is the home of her mother-in-law, and no one else can get involved."
When Mr. Zheng was young, he lived in the family village (a house built for the soldiers who moved to Taiwan and their families). The whole family village was like a big family. "At that time, every family really didn’t lock the door." Adults were colleagues and children were classmates, taking care of each other, regardless of each other; Whoever cooks something delicious will share it with everyone. As soon as possible, the residents of the village come from all over the mainland. Over time, each family’s diet has all kinds of distinctive flavors, and so does the New Year’s Eve. Mr. Zheng’s grandfather came from Jiangxi and his grandfather came from Hubei. "When we were young, we ate New Year’s Eve at grandma’s house and later at mom’s house, but there was no obvious regional characteristics."
Although many families now go to restaurants for dinner to save trouble, Mr. Zheng’s mother still insists on cooking by herself. Ten days before the Chinese New Year, I began to buy ingredients and reserve new year’s goods.
On the dinner table of the New Year’s Eve, there are bacon sausages and pot-stewed vegetables made by ourselves. "There are also stewed lion’s head, shredded pork with fish sauce, shrimp, and of course, fish is indispensable, because there is more than one year, and you can’t finish it on New Year’s Eve. Only when there is surplus will you have more than one year." There must also be jiaozi, which contains coins. Whoever eats it represents better luck. " Mr. Zheng said.
"Some families in Taiwan Province eat hot pot on New Year’s Eve, which has a surrounding atmosphere. Pay attention to a little, but also have a Buddha jumping wall. " Mrs. Zheng said. "When we were young, we all went to my grandmother’s house in Tainan for dinner. My grandmother was chaozhou people. The dinner would make chicken rolls, stewed whole ducks, radish cakes, and’ long-year dishes’ that Taiwan Province must eat around the stove. Because it is not easy to boil, it symbolizes a long life. You can’t cut it off when you eat it, but eat it whole leaves."
Sugar cakes stay fragrant for a long time.
Nourish the wandering heart
Our reporter Cheng Long
As the year is approaching, in a small mountain village in Qingtian, Zhejiang, every household is busy: washing lotus leaves, grinding rice noodles, mixing stuffing and steaming sugar cakes. This is the happiest memory of Wang Xinte, an overseas Chinese living in Spain: every New Year, he can eat Qingtian sugar cake, which is sweet but not greasy, soft and not sticky, and his lips and teeth remain fragrant.
"The taste of the year is the taste of Qingtian sugar cake!" Wang Xinte said, "It starts to be cooked around the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, and it takes more than ten hours to steam in a cauldron. Then cut it into pieces and eat it slowly. Visit relatives and friends and bring some as a New Year gift. "
In 2000, Wang Xinte arrived in Spain, and the first year of Spring Festival was simple. "There are only seven or eight China people in the whole city, so it is very lucky to eat Chinese food, let alone eat sugar cakes." Wang Xinte said that in the past, local people knew little about the Spring Festival. "Now, the Spring Festival has become a household name."
On the first day of the first month of 2018, Wang Xinte took several overseas Chinese to Aragon TV Station to introduce the Spring Festival in China by live broadcast. "We specially prepared two kinds of food. One is jiaozi, and the other is sugar cake. The audience and the host were full of praise for China cuisine. Through delicious food, Spanish friends have a deeper understanding of China and Qingtian. This has also created a more friendly atmosphere for our overseas Chinese to live and develop in the local area. "
Wang Xinte also moved the New Year’s Eve dinner to Spain. "This year, we will invite people from all walks of life in Spain to attend the Spring Festival dinner, and invite them to taste the special New Year’s Eve dinner in China and experience the customs of worshipping the New Year and giving lucky money." Wang Xinte, who is now the president of Spain’s Spain-China Friendship and Cooperation Association, hopes to take the New Year’s Eve dinner as a brand activity to promote Chinese culture and run it in Spain for a long time.
The charm of Chinese culture is getting bigger and bigger, and the China Year around the world is getting more and more prosperous. "Now many supermarkets in Spain are selling sugar cakes, and there are more and more patterns." Wang Xinte said, "My children were born and raised in Spain. They don’t have the Spring Festival experience as I did when I was a child, but I hope they can learn about the Spring Festival through these activities and never forget their roots."

Playing table tennis has many benefits, such as strengthening the brain and protecting the eyes.

Table tennis is a "national sport" and an exercise "artifact" for people of all ages. Research shows that students’ eyesight has improved obviously after participating in table tennis training. Table tennis can also improve reaction ability and flexibility, which is beneficial to the heart, lungs, waist, shoulders and cervical vertebrae.

First, safety. Compared with other ball games, table tennis is light and fast, and the physical damage caused to the opponent after bouncing is almost zero. Football and basketball, which have direct physical confrontation, are more likely to hurt people. Therefore, table tennis is suitable for all ages.

Second, protect your eyes. Ping-pong balls come and go fast, and the landing point is near or far, or left or right. To judge accurately, the eyes must keep a close eye on the ball and the brain must judge at high speed, which has a good effect on adjusting vision. Primary and middle school students with heavy schoolwork often play table tennis, which can effectively improve the function of ciliary muscles and prevent myopia.

Third, strengthen the brain. It is helpful to prevent Alzheimer’s disease, delay cerebral arteriosclerosis in the elderly and maintain thinking and memory.

Fourth, strong body. Playing table tennis is aerobic exercise, which can exercise cardiopulmonary function and visceral system and improve basal metabolism.

Fifth, reduce rigidity. Playing table tennis can exercise the muscles that support the balance of the body, move the parts that are usually motionless, and relieve the symptoms of back pain or stiff shoulders. Although playing table tennis has many benefits, there are also taboos, especially for the elderly, we should pay attention to the following points:

Exercise fully and turn around to warm up. Wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee, ankle and other joints should be fully active before playing ball. Playing table tennis is the same as playing tennis, and there are many turns, so it is necessary to warm up by turning.

Calm down and control the intensity. Middle-aged and elderly people can also play table tennis, but it is best to focus on fitness and play less games, not to mention being upset because of winning or losing at one time. People with poor heart function should pay special attention to it regardless of strength.

Pay attention to the surroundings, deduct less and prevent more. The playing field should be smooth and free of obstacles, and be careful not to hit the back wall or baffle when hitting the ball backwards. Old people should defend more, smash less, and don’t save the ball too actively to avoid injury. ▲
