New Year only deepens my longing. No matter where you are, during festivals, the taste of your hometown always haunts the hearts of countless people in China. For Sichuan businessmen who travel far away from their native land or come from afar to be alone in a foreign land, the Sichuan flavor in the annual flavor is even more a feeling that they can’t give up.

This year’s Spring Festival, some Sichuan businessmen went abroad to spend the Spring Festival, but they did not forget to bring Sichuan food and Sichuan wine to make an authentic Sichuan-style New Year’s Eve dinner in other places. Some people return to their hometown, and they don’t forget to bring some Sichuan sausages and pieces of bacon to share the delicious Sichuan food with their relatives in their hometown. To this end, the cover news-Huaxi Dushi Bao launched a special planning column of "Sichuan businessmen celebrate the New Year", inviting many well-known Sichuan businessmen to share their stories of the year and share the festive season with readers.

A. Tong Enwen, Chairman of Jule: I was in Singapore with my daughter and son-in-law.

This year’s Spring Festival is the 69th Spring Festival in the life of Tong Enwen, the chairman of Jule. This Spring Festival, he went to Singapore to reunite with his daughter and son-in-law. During the sixty-nine Spring Festival, Tong Enwen spent a carefree childhood, a young man in difficult times, and since the reform and opening up, the Spring Festival in each period has unique memories. As for this seventy years of age entrepreneur who has experienced ups and downs in his life, he has become accustomed to the vagaries of time or space, and only the feeling of "thinking twice about his family during the festive season" is hard to give up.

How to spend the Spring Festival in the Year of Rooster?

Go to Singapore for family reunion and give 800 yuan a red envelope to her granddaughter.

On the 29th of New Year’s Day, Tong Enwen, Chairman of Chengdu Jule, appeared at the annual meeting of the company on time. After celebrating the Spring Festival with the employees of the company and awarding prizes, Tong Enwen went home to pack his bags and prepare to leave. This year, he will spend the Spring Festival with his daughter and son-in-law in Singapore thousands of miles away.

In Tong Enwen’s view, the Spring Festival in recent 30 years, starting from the reform and opening up, is a witness to the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in China. Not only televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, but even cars have entered ordinary families. All kinds of supermarkets and hypermarkets have a dazzling array of new year’s goods. All kinds of electronic toys that children play during the Spring Festival are beyond the comprehension of adults.

In Tong Enwen’s family, the form of Chinese New Year for more than 30 years is the same as that of all ordinary families in China. It is a complete Spring Festival to watch the Spring Festival Gala after dinner and then give a red envelope to my little granddaughter. However, although he is the chairman of a large enterprise like Jule, the red envelope given by Tong Enwen to his little granddaughter is not too big, only 800 yuan is included.

However, on such a beautiful day, Tong Enwen still can’t help but think back to the scenes about the Spring Festival in the past years. The white-haired old mother queued up for a long time and happily brought back a Sichuan style pork from the canteen. The old father who likes pasta saw the smiling face that jiaozi ate during the Chinese New Year, just like yesterday.

It’s just that the child wants to raise and the relatives are not there. There is nothing more painful than this. I miss my family more often during the festive season, so during the Spring Festival, in fact, Tong Enwen wants to ask: Father and mother, have you been in heaven for a year?

When I was young, the Spring Festival was the most unforgettable.

Every household buys a rooster and sits around the stove.

Although the Spring Festival after the reform and opening up is so beautiful, the Spring Festival before that is the eternity in Tong Enwen’s memory. In the sixties and seventies, Tong Enwen, who had grown into a teenager, moved to Chengdu with his parents’ work. In his impression, at that time, the supply of materials was extremely poor, and non-staple food, tobacco, alcohol and cloth were all supplied by ticket. At that time, the Spring Festival was also branded with a distinctive mark of the times.

"Because there are so many kinds of tickets, in addition to food stamps and cloth tickets, the government also issues a number ticket to every household." Tong Enwen recalled that the No.1 ticket was compiled from 1, and a notice was issued on holidays. With a certain ticket, two packs of cigarettes were supplied, and a certain ticket was supplied with one or two peppers, etc., so you have to take the ticket first before the Chinese New Year and go to the store to see the notice and buy it back, otherwise it will be invalid when it expires.

However, at that time, fortunately, the free market was not banned in Sichuan, so you can still buy some eggs, meat and live chickens and ducks before going to the suburbs for the Spring Festival. Tong Enwen also revealed a trick to buy chicken at that time, that is, you must buy a rooster. Because cocks don’t lay eggs, farmers should sell all the cocks except those reserved for breeding as soon as possible, so cocks are often tender and delicious in cold salad. If you buy a hen, it will be unlucky if you buy an old hen that doesn’t lay eggs and can’t bite for a long time.

However, every household buys a rooster, which creates another "spectacle". Because there was no refrigerator at that time, cocks had to be kept until the year before they were killed. So every year before dawn, the cocks of every family in the city will crow endlessly, one after another.

After dinner, there was no TV or movie, and Tong Enwen’s whole family sat around the stove, blowing all over the place. Until I go to bed at night, there are many people and few rooms, and even the floor is crowded with people. "Mother is still urging me to close the window to prevent thieves from coming in, but I don’t know who will answer, and he will fall on my head as soon as he comes in!" Tong Enwen said that the scenes of that scene at that time were the eternity in his memory.

Childhood Spring Festival memory

My brother encouraged me to steal snacks and was caught by my parents.

If we go back, the Spring Festival in the early days of liberation is very different from the difficult times. Tong Enwen spent his childhood in Changsha, Hunan. Tong Enwen’s father, Tong Kai, was born in a noble Tong family in Ningxiang, Hunan Province. A few years after graduating from Harvard University in 1928, he returned to Hunan University to teach.

In Tong Enwen’s memory, although it was not long after liberation, Changsha’s urban style and customs were no different from those before liberation. At that time, his father was a professor at Hunan University and his mother was a music teacher in the nursery. Tong Enwen’s family was well-fed, but because all the boys at home were at school, they couldn’t buy new clothes and eat sweets and snacks until the Spring Festival.

When it comes to sweets and snacks, what impressed Tong Enwen most is that he once suffered from stealing food when he was a child. "Parents are forbidden to steal food, but a group of teenage boys can’t control it. You can take one, he walks by and steals one, and the dessert plate will be empty in a few minutes." For this reason, my mother had to put the cookie jar on the wardrobe at home and take it out to entertain the guests when they arrived. However, "there are policies on the top and countermeasures on the bottom", and the sly brothers sent the youngest child in the family, Tong Enwen, to steal snacks. "Because even if I catch it, I won’t be beaten for my sake."

Later, once Tong Enwen was standing on a high place, and his little hand had just reached into the biscuit barrel when his mother came back. His brothers fled in a hubbub, leaving him standing on the stool alone. In the face of parents, the young Tong Enwen naturally chose to be "frank and lenient". However, the more times I confess, the more annoyed my brothers. So once, I don’t know which brother burned the poker and asked him to pick it up. Tong Enwen was so hot that he cried, but his parents knew that it was the "good thing" done by his brothers, and a lesson was indispensable. "So when I was young, I understood that it is indispensable to harm people and prevent people!" Tong Enwen said.

B. Cao Shiru, Chairman of Hongqi Chain: Thailand does not forget Xiuchuan wine during the holidays.

Cao Shiru basks in Sichuan wine.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Shiru, the chairman of Hongqi Chain, showed a video of taking the opportunity to travel far in Weibo, and then broadcast the sunrise live at the seaside at 7: 00 in the morning. Unfortunately, the dark clouds covered the rising sun, and Cao Shiru couldn’t help talking to the dark clouds from a distance on the Weibo, saying, "Blame the dark clouds, why did you disperse now?" However, the sunrise covered by dark clouds obviously failed to affect her good mood. The next day, Cao Shiru played a guessing game with netizens in a good mood. She took a photo of the courtyard and asked netizens to guess how many canaries were in the photo, and more generously revealed that her holiday location was in Thailand.

It is worth noting that as a Sichuan businessman, even in a foreign country, Cao Shiru did not forget to bring a little "Sichuan style" to accompany him for the New Year. During the Chinese New Year holiday, Cao Shiru took a photo of himself holding a bottle of Sichuan wine on the Weibo, and even more wittily said, "If you drink, you will drink Wuliangye, the famous wine in China, and the old kiln in Luzhou, and then you will walk together and never look back. Whoever turns back is a brick. "

C. Lv Jingang, Chairman of Huiji Food: Consigned several boxes of Sichuan-style Sanya to host Sichuan-style New Year’s Eve dinner.

Lv Jingang’s New Year’s Eve dinner.

Like many Sichuan families, Lu Jingang chose to spend the Spring Festival in warm Sanya this year. However, unlike ordinary families, several large boxes of luggage checked by Lu Jingang are filled with all kinds of Sichuan food ingredients and seasonings. Although people are in other places, the New Year’s Eve dinner has to be Sichuan food. Lu Jingang said that for this reason, all the raw materials of their family, from peppers and peppers to sausage and bacon, and even dried beans, were taken away from Sichuan and consigned to Hainan, just to make an authentic Sichuan-style New Year’s Eve dinner.

However, for Lu Jingang, what is more precious than Sichuan-style New Year’s Eve is the reunion with relatives. This Spring Festival in Sanya, Lu Jingang took his parents to spend the whole Spring Festival holiday. "In fact, I haven’t spent such a long time with my parents for many years." Lu Jingang said that such a reunion time made him cherish it.

D. Tang Yaohua, Chairman of WOWO Supermarket: Make a Shanghai-style New Year’s Eve dinner with Sichuan flavor and send a 5,000-yuan red envelope to the elders.

Tang Yaohua, who has worked hard in Sichuan for more than ten years, rushed back to his hometown of Shanghai for the Spring Festival on the Eve of the Rooster. Because of his career in Sichuan, Tang Yaohua actually spent the Spring Festival in Sichuan in recent years. However, with the elderly at home getting old, this year, after arranging all the affairs, Tang Yaohua returned to Shanghai to spend the Spring Festival with the elderly at home.

When you return to your hometown, you will have to cook a home-cooked New Year’s Eve dinner. After staying in Sichuan for more than ten years, Tang Yaohua also got used to the delicious and spicy Sichuan cuisine, so he added Sichuan sausage and bacon to his luggage. When he personally cooked his favorite hometown dish, vegetable rice, he changed the raw material Shanghai bacon into Sichuan sausage bacon. "Make it well received! My family says it’s delicious. " Tang Yaohua said happily.

In addition, Tang Yaohua also specially wrapped a big red envelope of 5,000 yuan for the elderly at home. "I can’t be with you at ordinary times. I always have to be filial during the New Year. Of course, it is the best way to spend the New Year by going home with the elderly. " Tang Yaohua said.

Recently, Zhiche School noticed that Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the Association, wrote through his personal WeChat WeChat official account that China’s automobile industry chain has strong resilience and its relative competitiveness in the world is growing rapidly, which is the core driving force of China’s automobile globalization.

Cui Dongshu said: When we break through the production and sales scale of 30 million, accounting for 33% of the world’s market sales, we must be ambitious, make China’s automobile production and sales break through 40 million, and further move towards 50 million, and strive to make China’s automobile market share break through 40% and move towards 50%. While the world share of China products in household appliances and other industries is nearly 60%, China car companies need to make more efforts to repair both inside and outside. Going out to sea will become the next explosion point of the automobile industry in the next 10 years.

On January 12th, the General Administration of Customs released import and export data for the whole year of 2023. According to the information, in 2023, China’s automobile export volume exceeded 5.22 million vehicles, which was 57.4% higher than that of the previous year, and it has successfully surpassed Germany and Japan to become the largest automobile exporter in the world.

Among them, electric manned vehicles exported 1.773 million vehicles, an increase of 67.1%.

According to the data released by China Automobile Industry Association in 2023, China is expected to become the largest automobile exporter in the world. What supports the continuous expansion of export scale is the scientific and technological innovation of China’s automobile industry, and the record-breaking production and sales volume is recognized by the global market and consumers.

　　CCTV News:At ten o’clock in the morning, Zhou Jie opened WeChat, skillfully copied a few paragraphs, and posted them in the WeChat group of "Cai Tuan Tuan 1 Group" on the hour. In the message he just sent out, he used several exclamation points to say hello to the group members. A string of WeChat expressions followed by "Today’s Special: Farmer Strolling Chicken" also made the whole message vivid, even though he was still a little sleepy.

　　Zhou Jie graduated from university in 2018, and then he got a job in Beijing, rented a one-bedroom apartment in Daxing District and started a nine-to-five life. Before the Spring Festival this year, Zhou Jie went home on holiday, and soon after returning home, the COVID-19 epidemic broke out.

　　At first, Zhou Jie spent every day in anxiety, not knowing when the epidemic would pass, let alone when he could return to work. Just in this "idle" "house" life, Zhou Jie suddenly came up with a new idea — — He wants to sell vegetables full-time.

　　Online food and meat sales have been Zhou Jie’s part-time job for the past six months. At first, Zhou Jie’s father contacted several local suppliers of vegetables, meat and poultry, and made a simple WeChat applet to sell online. Zhou Jie just laid a hand on it and didn’t care about this part-time job.

　　Although the epidemic has had a great impact on traditional consumption and industry, it also contains potential and opportunities under pressure. "Home economy" is popular, and "no meeting" has become fashionable. New opportunities are in front of Zhou Jie.

　　At the end of January, Zhou Jie took over the online vegetable selling platform from his father, and he wanted to transform this humble WeChat applet. From contacting suppliers, market research, maintaining the background to distribution and after-sales service, he did it himself, and gave this small program a name called "Cuisine Tuantuan", hoping that this easy-to-remember name can be branded locally.

　　During the epidemic period, everyone stayed at home, and playing games became a "standard" every day, and Zhou Jie was no exception. But gradually, it was hard to find Zhou Jie in the game team. When friends invited him, he always said, "Sorry, I want to get ‘ Dish group ’ I can’t play today! " In the WeChat group of Zhou Jie and his friends, there are more and more design schemes for the "Cai Tuan Tuan" applet page. Zhou Jie always asks in the group, "Do you think this looks good?"

　　In order to promote the applet, Zhou Jie also launched a WeChat group called "Caituantuan". In the process of previous research, he found that some local older customers prefer to buy things in the form of "group purchase", and compared with WeChat applet, WeChat group is more in line with their communication habits. As a result, Zhou Jie sends news of buying vegetables and meat and poultry in the group at ten o’clock every morning, and answers customers’ questions in the group at any time.

　　"Boss Zhou" is a new name for Zhou Jie by friends. Several friends in Zhou Jie are still "trapped" at home because of the epidemic. They are full of envy when talking about Zhou Jie’s "new job". In their eyes, it is difficult for college graduates to be associated with "selling vegetables". No one thought of employment choices, but Zhou Jie took a new path.

　　Xiao Lu still remembers playing with Zhou Jie at the end of December last year. The game was suspended by a phone call received by Zhou Jie. After receiving the phone call, Zhou Jie began to handle the business of "Cai Tuantuan" in the background of WeChat applet. Xiao Lu leaned over and saw that the turnover of "Cai Tuantuan" was 59 yuan that day, and when Zhou Jie was asked three months later, the monthly turnover of "Cai Tuantuan" had exceeded 6,000 yuan.

　　In March, Zhou Jie’s company in Beijing told Zhou Jie that if he could not go to work before March 10th, Zhou Jie would be treated as "leave without pay". Zhou Jie didn’t hesitate for a long time, so he resigned from the company.

　　Neither the job in Beijing nor the online sales platform is Zhou Jie’s career ideal. His English is very good, and he wants to take a teacher qualification exam and become an English teacher. While dealing with the "food group" business, he has bought a set of books for preparing for the teacher qualification certificate and is studying. These days, he also interviewed several English-related positions. Fortunately, a company has sent an employment notice for the position of "foreign trade salesman".

　　For Zhou Jie, with one more effort, life will have one more choice button. Which button will he press in the near future?

　　At eleven o’clock in the evening, CC pressed the button to start the live broadcast. Network anchor is a part-time job that CC has been looking for in recent months. Before doing the webcast, CC had just graduated from university for one year, and his job was to sell household products.

　　The Spring Festival holiday should have been the best time for CC’s sales performance. However, due to the epidemic, offline sales stagnated, and CC had to start to establish online contact with customers and start online sales. However, the effect of online sales is not ideal, and there is no big discount, which can’t attract customers’ attention. Invisible and intangible products will also make customers have many doubts. CC has almost no performance.

　　For CC, the outbreak of the epidemic is more like a boost, pushing him to the career of network anchor. At first, CC just felt that this profession was "capable and interested". Moreover, in the absence of sales performance, he needs to find another job that can support his life.

　　Every night at eleven o’clock, CC will start the live broadcast on time. When being an anchor, he should not only keep an active mind at all times, but also actively throw out questions to keep the live broadcast room quiet, and also have clear ideas to solve the problems that the audience keeps asking. CC found that the network anchor is not a brainless job, but a job that needs "strength" very much.

　　The more energy you put into it, the more interested CC is in the career of network anchor. He has made a plan, and will study vocal music and broadcasting first in the future. With more professional skills, he can better support his anchor career. In the future, the anchor will also become his full-time job.

　　Every night from eleven o’clock to one or two o’clock at night, CC will broadcast live on the Internet, and he will still be doing sales work during the day. His day is fully scheduled. He said: "No matter how tired I am, I have to hold on. This is my own choice. I am tired just to live a better life."

　　The new opportunity was in front of us, and CC felt that she had seized it. (Text/Wang Yuxi)

Thanks to the increasingly perfect transportation network and overwhelming travel strategies and experience sharing on social platforms, more and more people have broken away from the traditional restrictions of "traveling with a group" and started to explore travel methods that are more suitable for their physique. For example, the main character of college students’ "special forces travel" said to leave; "Bao Baba Bao Ma" chose "study tour" in the hope of entertaining; Urban "migrant workers" pursue a more relaxed life experience at the weekend "Citywalk" and so on.

Different from the old tourist cities or scenic spots, the new tourism mode has also spawned a number of emerging "online celebrity punch points": the barbecue in Zibo, the panda in Chengdu, Wu Kang Road in Shanghai, and the diving grandfather in Tianjin …

There are more and more forms of tourism, and the following questions are constantly emerging: which way is more friendly to the elderly? What are the pit avoidance guides for the "study tour"? What is "reverse tourism" and "colorful tourism"?

"Forgive me for my unrestrained love of traveling all my life", and take you to know something about traveling!

On November 5th, the round-table forum "The Long River of History-Translation and Research of Historical Records" hosted by China Renmin University and co-organized by Peking University Publishing House and Boya Forum of Peking University was held in Suzhou Campus of China Renmin University as one of the activities of the second sub-forum of the 8th World Sinology Congress "Sinology and the Translation and Introduction of China Classics".

The forum was hosted by Associate Professor Huang Hongyu, Associate Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences of Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), and attended by experts and scholars such as Professor Han vans ESS from the University of Munich, Professor Su Peng from Nanjing Normal University, Associate Professor Zhang Zongpin from Shaanxi Normal University, Professor Sun Bao from Qufu Normal University, lecturer Yu Jianping from Shanghai Normal University, Dr. Kuang Yantao from the University of Munich and editor Ma Xinmin from Peking University Publishing House. The keynote speaker was Ni Haoshi, a famous American sinologist and translator.

The host Huang Hongyu is a disciple of Ni Haoshi and an important participant in the English translation project of Historical Records. At the beginning of the meeting, Huang Hongyu first introduced Professor Ni Haoshi’s achievements in the translation and research of Historical Records, and the publication of his research collection "Long River of History". Ni Haoshi is currently Halls-Bascom Chair Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His translation of Historical Records has spanned more than 30 years and is the largest English version of Historical Records in the world. In 2020, Ni Haoshi won the 14th Chinese Book Special Contribution Award for his outstanding contribution to the study and translation of China’s ancient literature and the promotion of exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and foreign civilizations. "Long River of History" is the first collection of his research achievements on Historical Records in the past 30 years and translated into Chinese for publication. It is also the platform achievement of "Ancient Chinese Characters and Chinese Civilization Inheritance and Development Project" of China Renmin University.

Professor Ye Han from the University of Munich, Germany, first made an online speech. Ye Han is a sinologist and a Mongolian scholar, whose research interests are China’s history, Confucianism and Central Asian studies related to China and Mongolia. He is currently the vice president of foreign affairs and the chief professor of sinology at Munich University. His book Politik und Geschichtschribung Imalten China. Pan-Mai-T ‘ung Ban Ma Yi is one of the most important works in the study of Historical Records and Hanshu in the West. Ye Han first expressed regret that he could not attend the event on the spot, and then sincerely and emotionally recalled his experience of acquaintance and cooperation with Ni Haoshi. Both Ye Han and Ni Haoshi studied under Professor Friedrich Bischoff. When they were students, they heard Ni Haoshi’s name and his work many times. In 2001, when Ni Haoshi proposed to establish a translation project of Historical Records in Germany, Ye Han was less than 40 years old. He recalled that he was probably influenced by some unfair comments on Ni Haoshi’s English version of Historical Records at that time and had no definite and clear ideas about his future academic career, so he did not show much interest in Ni Haoshi’s proposal at first. Yip Han pointed out that there will be all kinds of opinions and criticisms about a work, but if you really want to know whether a book is valuable, you must read it yourself, not just judge it based on other people’s comments. Ye Han also told some details and interesting stories about their translation workshop.Years of cooperation have made him and Ni Haoshi close friends. Ye Han mentioned that in 2018, he and Ni Haoshi met at Elling O. Eide Center in Sarasota, Florida. Professor Bishop had told him many stories about this place, and this experience was of extraordinary significance to him. Ye Han also mentioned the latest translation of Historical Records published last year, which is of special significance because it was born during the epidemic. Yip Han concluded that the translation of Historical Records has been a cross-world project for many years, bringing together scholars from the United States, China, Germany, Britain, Russian and other different places. In the past 22 years, it has been a wonderful and very important experience, not only in terms of academic achievements, but also in terms of friendship and bringing people from all over the world together. Ye Han said that there is still a lot of work to be done in the future, and I thank Ni Haoshi for everything he has done for himself and everyone.

After Ye Han’s speech, Ni Haoshi made a brief response. Ni Haoshi said that over the years of cooperation, he and Yip Han have become very close friends. He trusts Yip Han very much in both work and personal affairs, and they have many good memories in common. Ye Han’s familiarity with Historical Records and Hanshu is very important to the translation team. When he wanted to stop or give up, it was Ye Han’s support that kept him going for so many years. He is very grateful to Professor Yip Han for his participation.

Ye Han and Ni Haoshi

The second speaker is Professor Su Peng from Nanjing Normal University. Su Peng participated in the revision of the school-based Historical Records by Zhonghua Book Company. As a main member of the revision group, his personal research interests are mainly in the study of classics, ancient calligraphy documents and related ancient manuscripts in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. Su Peng first briefly reviewed the revision of the Chinese version of Historical Records, especially the adjustment of page numbers and layout before and after printing. Then Su Peng talked about the reading experience of The Long River of History from three aspects. 1. Take Ni Haoshi’s investigation of He Cijun’s life experience (2009) as an example. When he translated the text of Historical Records word by word, Ni Haoshi also made a careful investigation of the key figures related to each version of Historical Records, but he only began to pay attention to He Cijun in 2014 and made some investigations. Second, from the article Historical Records and Hanshu —— Taking the biographies of Gaozu and Gaodi as examples, Su Peng paid attention to the study of Historical Records by Ni Haoshi and discussed the text problems of Historical Records, such as the relationship between Historical Records and Hanshu and the compilation of Historical Records. Taking the secret cabinet book "Biography of Gaozu" in the Japanese Imperial Palace as an example, Su Mi pointed out the complexity of the compilation of Historical Records and the so-called "Banma Similarities and Differences", and emphasized that we should pay attention to the canonization process of China classical documents. Third, the translation process of Historical Records described in detail by Ni Haoshi is the process of close reading of the text. Taking pages 14-16 of the book as an example, Su Xiang borrowed the words from Feng Yi’s "A Talk in the Guiyuan" in the Tang Dynasty and praised Ni Haoshi for "the degree of gold and people".Make readers understand the method of text close reading and realize its importance. Su Peng finally concluded that we should pay more attention to the research results of overseas sinologists, which is not enough in the field of traditional classical research. In addition, even in today’s convenient data retrieval and research, it is very important for both China scholars and foreign scholars to read the text carefully.

Associate Professor Zhang Zongpin of Shaanxi Normal University is interested in Qin and Han Dynasties literature and writing this literature. He visited the University of Wisconsin-Madison from August 2017 to 2018, and his co-tutor was Professor Ni Haoshi. Zhang Zongpin said that during his study in Madison, Ni Haoshi’s Historical Records translation team would make him have a deeper understanding of the Historical Records text and its translation. Cross-cultural text translation not only needs to reconfirm the meaning of Chinese, but also find out the corresponding parts of English vocabulary. Both of them must be clear and accurate, and the translated classics can fit the original intention of the text. Take the sentence "The King of Qin walks around the column" in Biography of Assassin as an example, we are faced with the problem of whether the countable noun "column" is singular or plural when translated into English, that is, we need to judge whether the King of Qin and Jing Ke walked around a big column or shuttled between different columns. This concentrated discussion is very enlightening to his later research and writing. Zhang Zongpin said that the value and significance of Ni Haoshi’s translation of Historical Records in academic research and cultural communication will surely become more and more important with the passage of time. The newly published Long River of History is a concentrated display of Ni Haoshi’s research on Historical Records, which is extremely rich in content. Thanks to Dr. Kuang Yantao’s hard compilation, we can understand different aspects of Ni Haoshi’s research on Historical Records. Zhang Zongpin said, "It is very correct to use’ Long River of History’ as the title of the book. As Mr. Ni Haoshi said, his works and translation have become a part of the traditional academic history. In this collection of essays,What we feel is the long history of the study of Historical Records in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad. This big river stretches for two thousand years, and it is magnificent. Scholars on both sides of the strait have contributed a trickle to this long river to varying degrees. Mr. Ni Haoshi and his works have their own particularity: they are not only in the river, but also often travel between the two sides. It is a ferryman, a ferry and a bridge across the two sides. "

Professor Sun Bao of Qufu Normal University is mainly engaged in the study of the interaction between Confucianism, bureaucracy and literature in the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. He studied at the University of Wisconsin from September 2017 to September 2018. During his visit to school, Sun Bao participated in the translation workshop of Historical Records, and was deeply shocked by the grandeur and delicacy of this epic project that lasted for more than 30 years. Ni Haoshi’s experience, methods and opinions in studying and analyzing the text of Historical Records are very beneficial to his study of the classics and historical materials of the Six Dynasties. Next, Sun Bao shared some discoveries he had accumulated in the process of reading the Historical Records and the Six Dynasties’ historical collections since his visit to school. Finally, Sun Bao said that during his translation workshop of Historical Records, he was deeply impressed by the academic realm of Ni Haoshi, who was easy and slow. Ni Haoshi always gives encouragement to the idea of Chinese-English translation of Historical Records put forward by everyone. "On the one hand, it requires to make sense, on the other hand, it emphasizes to give proof" and "Stay humble, Stay hungry" may be regarded as one of the essences of Ni Haoshi’s scholarship.

Lecturer Yu Jianping of Shanghai Normal University also visited the University of Wisconsin-Madison from September 2017 to September 2018 and participated in the English translation project of Historical Records. Yu Jianping said that although he had some knowledge of Ni Haoshi’s translation and research of Historical Records, only after reading this Long River of History did he have a more comprehensive understanding of this project that lasted for decades and devoted a lot of efforts to Ni Haoshi and other participants, and he also had a deeper understanding of Ni Haoshi’s research of Historical Records. Next, Yu Jianping talked about his feelings of reading this book from three aspects: First, Ni Haoshi’s investigation and research on the version of Historical Records. For the 1959 edition of Historical Records by Zhonghua Book Company, Ni Haoshi carefully inspected its writing process, especially investigated the relationship between Gu Jiegang, He Cijun, Song Yunbin and others, and pointed out the shortcomings of this edition, which did not refer to the patchwork edition and Renshou edition. It is this serious and responsible attitude that lays the foundation for the high quality of the English version of Historical Records. The second is meticulous translation attitude. Ni Haoshi’s translation attitude is rigorous and serious, even to the point of being meticulous. Some common function words have many meanings in different contexts, so Ni Haoshi tries his best to find the corresponding English words according to their semantics. Some grammatical elements are often omitted in ancient Chinese, and Ni Haoshi tries to complete them in English. In addition to translating the text of Historical Records as accurately as possible, Ni Haoshi also added a lot of relevant materials in the footnotes, so as to make readers fit in with Sima Qian’s target readers as much as possible. The third is the compilation of Historical Records. In the process of word-for-word translation,It is found that there are many "contextual incoherence" problems in Historical Records. Starting with these details, a window on how Sima Qian compiled Historical Records is opened. Yu Jianping said that these viewpoints in the book "are the ideological inspiration formed by accumulation, precipitation and generate in the process of translating Historical Records for decades, and are the natural result of Ni’s long-term persistence in translating and studying Historical Records".

Dr. Kuang Yantao, the compiler of Long River of History and the University of Munich, first reviewed the process of becoming attached to Ni Haoshi and being asked to learn from Mr. Ye Han by his recommender. Kuang Yantao said that during his study in Renmin University of China, Mr. Xu Construction Committee once recommended them to read the article "A Discussion on the Texts of Historical Records and Some Speculations on the Compilation of Family" by Ni Haoshi, and from this, he studied more articles about Historical Records by Ni Haoshi. Kuang Yantao said, "These articles are, on the one hand, Mr. Ni’s thoughts and experiences in the process of translation, and on the other hand, they are actually responses to the academic tradition of western sinology’s doubts about the text of Historical Records since the last century." It was in the process of studying these articles that he found that although Ni Haoshi’s research was so enlightening, there were few translations and quotations in China, so he had the idea of translating his articles into Chinese. First, he translated A Hundred Years of Western Studies on Historical Records and published it in Peking University’s International Sinology Research Newsletter. Later, with the support of Xu Construction Committee and Ma Xinmin, Peking University Press, and with the consent and authorization of Ni Haoshi, the compilation and translation of this collection began. Since 2021, with the support of Professor Ye Han, Kuang Yantao has joined the translation team of Historical Records of Ni Haoshi. Kuang Yantao said that the trust and friendship between Ni Haoshi and Ye Han came into play in Historical Records, a historical book two thousand years ago, and Historical Records was the starting point of all these stories.

Ma Xinmin, assistant editor-in-chief of Peking University Publishing House and director of the Department of Classics and Culture, made a speech as the co-organizer of the event and the representative of the publisher of Long River of History. Ma Xinmin said that one word he paid special attention to when reading this book was time. Sima Qian may have spent more than 20 years writing Historical Records. This classic document has been circulated for more than 2,000 years, and Ni Haoshi spent more than 30 years organizing translation. Because of Historical Records, Sima Qian more than two thousand years ago and Ni Haoshi today, their work is connected in the long river of history. With the passage of time, the English translation of Historical Records hosted by Ni Haoshi will surely show its greatness. Ma Xinmin has participated in and presided over a number of large-scale ancient books publishing projects, including The Whole Song Dynasty, Annotations on Thirteen Classics, and Confucian Collection (essence edition). He pointed out that large-scale projects may not be completed in the end without careful design in advance. From the publisher’s point of view, he expressed his admiration for Professor Ni Haoshi and Professor Wei Bote’s special attention to the consistency and consistency of translations when organizing translations.

The last part of the activity was a keynote speech by the keynote speaker Professor Ni Haoshi. Huang Hongyu said that many people have asked Ni Haoshi how to summarize the Historical Records in one sentence. He thought about some statements, such as "China’s early national narrative" and "a mixed writing of the Old Testament Bible and Herodotus’s History", but he still appreciated Wang Chong’s assertion in the Eastern Han Dynasty the most, that is, Sima Qian and Yang Xiong were like rivers and Han Dynasty, and the rest of the Han Dynasty writers were just rivers like Jingshui and Weishui. This is also the origin of the title "Long River of History".

Ni Haoshi’s speech was elegant and humorous. First of all, he thanked Dr. Kuang Yantao, the compiler of Long River of History, and praised him for his efforts in compiling this book and doing it so well. He quipped that at first he thought it would take about 10 years to complete the work, and it would be written in seven volumes, but he forgot that this was an ideal and perfect situation. Ni Haoshi mentioned Professor Lv Zongli, one of the original translators, and praised him as a great person with profound knowledge. When talking about the materials they used, Ni Haoshi specifically mentioned the contribution made by Wang Ji, a teacher from Suzhou University. Then Ni Haoshi talked about the old and new editions of Historical Records by Zhonghua Book Company from the perspective of academic history. For various reasons, the 1959 edition of Historical Records was completed in a hurry, especially the edition collation, which was mainly due to the limitations of the times. Judging from the differences between Gu Jiegang’s Records of the Historian (the Department of Bai Wen) in the 1930s and the 1959 edition, he doubted whether Gu Jiegang had finished the proofreading of the latter. As for the newly revised version of Historical Records, Ni Haoshi said that they have started to use this version recently. At first, he was a little rejected by this new version. What bothered him most was the change of page numbers, because the Index of Historical Records and their previous translations were all related to page numbers, and the revised version added some collations, including the patchwork version, which brought them more problems. But with more and more use, he found that the revised edition is really a good collation.

Nihaoshi

Ni Haoshi reviewed some past events between him and Professor Yip Han. He said that it was when Professor Yip Han changed his mind and accepted his cooperation proposal that he really felt that the English translation project team of Historical Records was a successful team. Ni Haoshi also talked about his teacher, Professor Bi Shaofu, who shared with Ye Han. He learned from Professor Bi to explore the deeper implication of the text. After briefly reviewing his study history and the starting process of the English translation project, Ni Haoshi talked about the process of determining the style and form of this translation work. Ni Haoshi said that among all the existing translations, burton watson is undoubtedly unique in this respect, but he is not a scholar of literature. Wordsworth’s translation is suitable for the general readers, and what they have to do is to provide a translation that meets the needs of the research group. After determining the translation principles, they tried to distinguish many expressions with similar semantics but different meanings in ancient Chinese, such as "attack" translated as "to attack", "to give battle to", "to lead a punitive expedition against" and "to attack". They summarized and classified this and still use it today.

Huang Hongyu concluded that the English translation of Historical Records led by Ni Haoshi successfully practiced the PI system in the field of large-scale Chinese translation. All members of the team have gained growth in this collaboration process, and continue to be inspired by Ni Haoshi’s profound knowledge, vigorous energy, keen curiosity and charisma.

Finally, Ni Haoshi interacted with the students at the scene and enthusiastically answered your questions. He Haiyan from Hubei University, Liu Cheng from Guangxi Normal University, Hong Yinghua from Xiamen University, Wu Guimei from Yangtze University, Pan Li and Wang Ji from Suzhou University, Deng Lin from Beijing Foreign Studies University and some students from China Renmin University and Suzhou University also participated in the activity.

It has been 70 years since the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Every year, on Tomb-Sweeping Day and Martyrs’ Memorial Day … we can’t help remembering the martyrs again and again, and looking back at that unforgettable war memory through the dust of history.

In today’s world, not everyone remembers the war.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Americans chose to throw this war into the corner of history and forget it collectively.

The pain caused by the war is indelible. How can you forget it?

The United States has taken pains to do this.

At that time, when American soldiers returned from the Korean peninsula, there was no grand ceremony in Manhattan, new york, no honours, no commendation and no awards.

They stood on the big trucks and returned to the base sadly. Only a few soldiers’ mothers holding flowers greeted them.

Some American soldiers recalled that it made him feel like someone who had been released from prison.

American commander Clark signed the armistice agreement.

Soldiers who fought on the Korean peninsula were marginalized when they returned home, depriving them of the right to be recognized by American society. This is only the first step.

After the war, American officials tried to make this war diluted by time and erased from the memory of the American people by restricting and controlling speech.

Compared with World War II and Vietnam War, the research on the Korean War and film and television works are particularly scarce.Hollywood, which has always been good at shooting war themes and promoting "American heroism", has no way to write about the theme of the Korean War.The few movies that reflect the Korean War are mostly about the confusion of American soldiers.

The core theme of pork chop hill, one of the few movies about the Korean War filmed in Hollywood, is "The heroism of American soldiers is dragged down by politicians".

Guns and rockets seized by volunteers at the theme exhibition commemorating the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Up to now, few people know about the Korean War except scholars who specialize in it and veterans of that year.

This war has faded and been erased in American society in the passage of time.

Finally, through a series of words and means, the United States reduced the importance of the Korean War, erased the historical coordinates of the Korean War, focused its propaganda on how to build friendly relations with South Korea, deliberately avoided the painful price paid by the Korean War, and publicized its hostility towards communism with the prevalence of McCarthyism at home.

American soldiers on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea

In 1950, the United States promulgated the mccarron Act, which aroused anti-communist sentiment in American society.

The American public was bewitched by the media, and no longer explored why the war was fought, whether the reasons for sending troops were just, and how many American soldiers paid their lives.

Evil spirits and ghost fires also spread to the academic field. More and more studies claim that China won because of the "sea of people tactics" that spared no effort, and the United States lost because they attached importance to human rights and could not bear to see too many people die in the battlefield.

The absurd argument has gained a large number of faithful believers.

The Globe and Mail’s commentary entitled "The haze of the Korean War still lingers after half a century" begins with the suggestion that China uses the "sea of people tactics".

Marginalized veterans, diluted wars and stigmatized war opponents.Every step is aimed at forgetting.

Now in America, few people remember what happened on the other side of the ocean.

Pathetic and deplorable!

South Korea, facing the other side of the sea, is more subtle in dealing with the Korean War.

South Korea’s historical narrative of this war has fallen into a contradiction that is difficult to prove.

Under the statue of MacArthur, an American soldier set up in South Korea, young Koreans went to burn fire to protest.

They said that Americans sent troops to the Korean peninsula, which split our nation and still occupy our land today. Why should we commemorate them?

As a result, South Korea is getting deeper and deeper in the spiral of gratitude and hatred. Once the Korean War is discussed, it will touch the deep foundation of the social and political system and become taboo.

Nothing can be done. South Korea chose the backlight, deliberately distorting and diluting it, and not looking directly at the war. At present, 52.7% young Koreans don’t know when the Korean War broke out and why.

Looking at the relevant historical research and cultural works in Korea, stigma and distortion are common. This is the scene of the China Volunteers filmed by South Korea-

In their eyes, China’s victory lies in "overwhelming superiority in numbers", but in fact, the shortage of manpower and equipment was the real situation faced by China Volunteers.

The "grand scene" of China volunteers sending troops in the film "Flying Taiji Flag" is a manifestation of the rumor of "sea of people tactics".

But Koreans don’t care about the truth, they just want future generations to believe what they say about history.

The works about the history of the Korean War, such as Flying Tai Chi Flag and Highland War, are full of disrespect for history and negative portrayal of South Korean soldiers.

When the memory of the war became more and more blurred in the process of spreading false information, the 38th parallel became an inexplicable transparent fence in the eyes of Koreans, isolating them from the truth, and the pain of "though a country be sundered, hills and rivers endure" became an illusory legend, as if it had never existed.

Panmunjom, on both sides of the "38th parallel", the Korean and Korean armies are on guard against each other.

A nation is so numb to its own historical tragedy that it is sad!

However, no matter how much the United States and South Korea try to forget the distortion, and how to rewrite the war narrative in a different way, they are paralyzed and cover their ears.The truth of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has always stood in the long river of history and has not changed for more than 70 years.

Americans choose to forget history, because they have been at war for more than 220 years in the 240-year history of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Compared with their advertised victory, the Korean War is a deep scar on their military badge and a dirty laundry that cannot be publicized.

Koreans choose to distort history, because they can’t face up to the source of their own regime, can’t explain the legacy left by the American garrison to the people, and are even more unwilling to admit their incompetence and inaction in that war.

They dare not look at history, because the light of justice is too dazzling, they cover their eyes and hypnotize themselves.

What about us?

Whenever we talk about the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, there are always some arguments, such as "we shouldn’t fight" and "we shouldn’t send troops", and there are even some historical nihilistic arguments about the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

It can only be said that these people are afraid of being brainwashed by the narrative of the United States and South Korea.

Therefore, the more guilty they are, the more we have to be car-scrapping!

No one should remember the sufferings of our ancestors more than we do, and no one is more qualified to inherit their will to protect our country and defend our country.

On March 28th, 2014, a special plane carrying 437 Chinese people’s Volunteer Army martyrs’ remains landed at Shenyang Taoxian International Airport, and the martyrs’ spirits who left the motherland for more than 60 years went home.

It was freezing in the cold, and the two volunteers wore a pair of trousers and slept together, surviving one cold night after another.

When the grain and grass supply is insufficient, the volunteers eat fried sorghum rice and soybeans, and even chew leaves and eat wild fruits in the mountains when it is difficult.

On October 12, 2021, Li Huajun, a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, watched the movie The Battle at Lake Changjin alone in the cinema.

When weapons and ammunition are insufficient, volunteer soldiers hold grenades and drill under enemy tanks to stop the enemy from advancing with their own bodies.

On the hilltop that was almost flattened by the enemy, the volunteer soldiers held on for days and nights, enduring pain and hunger to buy time for the rear. Only 243 people survived when more than 1,600 people finally retreated.

We can’t forget these! We are their descendants and heirs to the spirit of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.

Only when we firmly remember why the war started and why those soldiers died can the historical appearance of the Korean War be preserved and the justice of the Korean War be passed down and preserved!

At the theme exhibition commemorating the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the exhibition used realistic restoration techniques to restore the battlefield of Changjin Lake in the ice and snow.

The "oriental spirit" that Americans can’t understand is a strong will to defend the country after a hundred years of humiliation.

exactly,We just want to praise the victory generously and praise the hero frankly.Aboveboard, carve this historical memory into the long river of history vigorously and deeply!

"Compared with defeat, it is the greatest sorrow that future generations have no courage to admit and inherit the victories won by their predecessors."

Your victory, they deliberately shouted "don’t remember" and "not like this".

In this way, you should tell your victory proudly and generously, not to mention those who are greedy for profits!

70 years ago, China won justice awe-inspiring and soul-stirring, and everyone in the world remembers it, as well as the mountains, rivers and plants.

History is never empty. When indefensible people hide in dark corners and play tricks that are not on the table, we should stand in the light and remember and praise openly.

The truth of history needs us to defend!
