Some time ago, a rock music festival was held in Xinxiang, Henan Province. Perhaps many people are interested in this contrast. In fact, Xinxiang is a well-known "hometown of rock and roll". After all, its English name can also be "New York". In 1998 and 1999, Xinxiang held China New Music Concert twice; Zhengzhou Railway Bureau also set up a rock train. It is said that the opening of Xinxiang Hotel invited all rock bands. So, how did Xinxiang, an ancient land located in the Central Plains, plant the rock gene?

Mu Ye and Xinxiang

Xinxiang, known as Mu Ye in ancient times, has a long and profound history, with Taihang in the north and Yellow River in the south. Zou Heng, a famous archaeologist in China, once said: "There are three breakthroughs in the study of Xia culture in Henan, the first is Erlitou in Yanshi, the second is Zhengzhou, and the third is Xinxiang." During the Shang Dynasty, Xinxiang belonged to the land within the capital and was the base of the origin and rule of Shang tribes. The Battle of Makino, which led to the demise of the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago, also took place in Xinxiang.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a city in the middle of Mu Ye, which was sealed by Guan Shu, the brother of Zhou Wuwang, and an important vassal state in the eastern part. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, most of Xinxiang belonged to Wei, while the west belonged to Zheng and Jin. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin was powerful. In 632 BC, the army of the State of Jin fought with Qin, Qi, Song and Chu in Chengpu (now southwest of Juancheng County, Shandong Province), and the Chu army was defeated. After the Battle of Chengpu, the State of Jin joined forces with the kings of Qi, Lu, Song and Wei in Jiantu (now in Yuanyang County, Henan Province), which was called "the alliance of Jiantu" in history. Wang Jizheng of Zhou Xiang also sent representatives to participate in the alliance, and Jin Wengong was named as the overlord. In order to further consolidate the hegemony of the Central Plains, the State of Jin was again a vassal in Wen (now in wen county, Henan Province), and King Xiang of Zhou was also invited to the meeting. During the Warring States period, Xinxiang belonged to Korea first, and then to Wei. Xinxiang recorded the stormy times of diplomatic mediation.

After the Qin Dynasty, Xinxiang’s administrative planning gradually became clear. In the Qin Dynasty, Xinxiang belonged to Sanchuan County, and in the Western Han Dynasty, the whole country set up the Sili Department and the Thirteen Secretariat Departments. The major part of Xinxiang belonged to Hanoi County of the Sili Department, while the eastern part belonged to Chenliu County of Henan County and Yanzhou Secretariat Department, and set up Ji County, Gongxian County, Huojia County, Yuanwu County, Yangwu County, Juanxian County, fengqiu county County and Zizyphus County. In the second year of Taishi in the Western Jin Dynasty (266), Ji County was set up, and Ji County (southwest of Weihui City, Henan Province) was ruled. Its jurisdiction is roughly equivalent to today’s cities and counties such as Weihui City, huixian city, Huojia County, Xinxiang City and Xiuwu County.

In the fifth year of Taihe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (370), Murong Zang, the younger brother of Murong Wei, the former emperor of Yan State, met the former Qin army and built a new city called Xinle City. In the sixth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (586), Xinxiang County, now the old town of Xinxiang City, was established, belonging to Hanoi County. Although the organizational system has changed since then, the basic pattern of Xinxiang has not changed. In the late Qing Dynasty, compared with coastal towns, Xinxiang was less impacted by western culture and its social form did not change significantly. At the beginning of the 20th century, with the intersection of Beijing-Han Railway and Daoqing Railway in Xinxiang, the urban development of Xinxiang entered a new historical period.

Rock and roll and Xinxiang

Xinxiang not only records the political, economic and historical development of China, but also is the carrier of opera and music. As a major province of opera, Henan Opera and local operas are equally popular in Xinxiang. Coupled with the gradual convenience of transportation in the late Qing Dynasty and the interweaving of various cultures, Zhongzhou Drum, Kaiming Drum, Xihe Huai Bang Opera, Xiangfudiao and other operas have always prevailed. Xinxiang people have a strong "artistic cell", and many middle-aged people will learn to play drums and guitar after they get married.

After the reform and opening up, both the city and social culture have quietly changed, and Xinxiang was also enlightened by the surging Chinese rock and roll at that time. If you meet someone who wears leather clothes and has long hair on the street, you will often ask the other person: "Do you listen to rock?"

In 1986, with the spread of "Northwest Wind" series of songs such as "Xintianyou", "Loess Plateau" and "My Hometown in Love", the "Northwest Wind" series of works formed the first wave of local music culture. The rise of rock and roll also took place in 1986, and some scholars even pointed out that "Nothing" and "Journey to Heaven" should be the source of "Northwest Wind".

Since its birth, rock and roll is a special cultural symbol, which always appears in a posture beyond the ordinary world and soars towards the height of spirit. Rock songs have a wide range of expressions, including deep historical nostalgia like Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Chu’s personal concern for fate, and Black Panther band’s realistic reflection and confusion. Generally speaking, they all have a spirit of inquiring and reflecting on reality and life. As a "new force" in pop music, rock and roll has opened up new space for the poetic latitude of lyrics and the functional latitude of songs.

Under this background, Xinxiang is also interacting with the rock era. On the evening of April 11th, 1998, Xinxiang Sports Center was brightly lit, and the first "China New Music Concert" was held here. It is said that the concert was originally planned to be held in a disco in Zhengzhou, and three rock bands were invited to make a platter. But Liaoyuan Huang, who has held several performances in Beijing, said: If you want to play, play big! So nine bands were booked. When the organizer heard nine bands, he was blindsided, knowing that a disco could not be put down, and considering that Zhengzhou’s approval must be very troublesome, he suggested moving to Xinxiang Sports Center, which can hold 30,000 people, to bring economic benefits to small places and enhance cultural awareness. That’s it.

God of Light is Black Panther band’s second music album, which was released in August 1993.

Someone once recalled: "In 1998, Chinese rock went to Xinxiang, Henan Province to perform, which was a great gathering of Chinese rock since 1993, which was particularly exciting. Because rock musicians perform in bars in bits and pieces, there is no such stage for them to show. " "In order to make the rock performance more smooth, so let Sun Nan start and sing" Red Flag Fluttering ". (There are also) Tang Dynasty, reincarnation, sobriety, zero point, overload, cobra, Bao Jiajie, compass and 1989 band, etc. "

This is a rock festival at the end of the 20th century. All musicians are full of joy. The exciting rhythm is knocking on everyone’s heart. The exciting power makes people excited. According to Liaoyuan Huang, the planner of this event, "When I planned Xinxiang rock concert in 1998, there was no rock music festival in China, and the outdoor performances of nine bands were the best at that time." On that night, Wang Feng changed "Good Night, Beijing" to "Good Night, Xinxiang", Gao Qi and Overload sang "Let Every Night Be Filled with the Flame of Love", and the audience lit lighters … The whole performance lasted for nearly four hours, and the atmosphere at the scene was climaxed. Taking this opportunity, at the request of fans, the Passenger Transport Department of Zhengzhou Railway Bureau specially designed the "Qiyuan" fan train: the train number is 680 and 681, and the fare is 11 yuan.

Because the first session was so successful, the next year, the second "China New Music (Xinxiang) Concert" arrived as scheduled. Different from 1998, Cui Jian and Black Panther band also joined the performance. In addition, Huaer Band and the rap group "D.D. Rhythm" founded by Dai Bing and Tianbao also joined in. Because of this performance, the musical horizons of fans in Xinxiang and even in China have been broadened again.

In the year of the real end of the century, when Cui Jian sang "Nothing", the whole stadium was in chorus. That kind of feeling, everyone present will remember it vividly in retrospect. For those who love rock and roll, this musical expression conveys the most direct emotional catharsis.

Cui Jian’s "Nothing" scene, 1992

The rock show for two consecutive years has made Xinxiang the base of Chinese rock. However, today we are familiar with the rock bands coming from the 20th century, and almost all of them enjoy the excitement brought by music with the audience in Xinxiang Sports Center. The two performances not only established Xinxiang’s position in the hearts of national rock fans, but also injected the immortal rock spirit into the city.

Why did a "China New Music Concert" become a special performance of rock music? It turned out that at that time, in order to avoid the rebellious meaning of the word "rock", most rock performances in Xinxiang were named "new music", and the two were corresponding. Liaoyuan Huang mentioned in "Ten Years of Rock on the Road": "One night in 1997, I finished the planning of’ 98 China New Music Concert (Xinxiang)’, because rock music was still a sensitive word at that time, so we chose the nondescript word’ new music’ as a cover." Some articles pointed out that those years coincided with the vigorous development of Xinxiang’s private economy, and all kinds of supermarkets and restaurants invited bands to perform when they opened their doors. Even when Huimian Noodles Pavilion opened, the bands at the door played rock and roll. Compared with Zhengzhou, Xinxiang has less pressure in life and musicians have enough time to make their own music. In big cities, however, you can’t make money as a band, and musicians are often busy running a venue or making a cover Shang Yan to support their families. Yang Baobin, a veteran rocker in Xinxiang, said that in Xinxiang, there are few people who use music to bluff, or feel that making music is superior. Generations of bands and organizers have been silently relaying in Xinxiang for nearly 20 years. Although the mentality is different, we play together and act together. Perhaps this is also the main reason why the organizer had to transfer Zhengzhou disco to Xinxiang Stadium when Liaoyuan Huang wanted to "play a big game".

Afterlife and Xinxiang

After that, Xinxiang not only attracted a large number of rock singers to hold concerts, but also gave birth to many new forces of rock music. For example, Crazy Doctor Band, which was founded in Xinxiang in 2008, can be generally classified as "post-punk". In 2019, they released the single "Will you still hate me when I die one day?" The whole song was dark and cold, and the lyrics full of rebellion expressed the singer’s thinking about society. Some fans commented: "Support our band in new york, the Netherlands." "Holland" is the homonym of Henan, and "new york" is the nickname of Xinxiang for fans.

The seemingly playful expression shows people’s attachment to the rock atmosphere of this city. In addition, there is Pumpkins Little Pumpkin Band, which was founded in 2009. In their music, you can see many old punk figures in Europe and America in 1970s (such as The Stooges, Johnny Thunders, etc.). In 2005, led by the local record company "Revolver Records" in Henan Province, together with Xinxiang Survivor, Attempted, Medusa and several other Henan bands, released a collection "Race to the Central Plains". Twelve years later, South of the River, a new music collection of the Central Plains, continued the musical vitality of Xinxiang and the Central Plains. In this collection, which is led by the musician Renzi Fu, Remy Band, Godfather Band, Xiatu Band, Little Pumpkin Band, singers MIMO, Tian Qigao, Xiaonan, Wang Huafeng, Ye Lin and other groups of Central Plains music representatives joined in, and a total of 10 outstanding original works were included. The young rock power has brought a different kind of youth and rebellious color to Xinxiang.

The cover of South of the River

Rock music is rooted in Xinxiang and closely connected with it. In 2021, Henan suffered from torrential rains and floods. During this time, the whole country rushed to support the disaster area, and there was such a group of people in the rock circle. They not only donated money, but also came to Xinxiang to actively participate in the rescue work. Song Jie, a guitarist, and bands such as Da Wenxi, Crazy Doctor, Pumpkin, Mazi Ma, Sevenjoys, Cyclops, Nano Sound Shell and Red Scarf all participated in the on-site rescue in Xinxiang. This city, located in the north of Henan, is witnessing the growth and prosperity of rock and roll young people.

From Yangshao culture and Longshan culture to the battle of Makino and Guandu, from the first "China New Music Concert" to "Chasing the Deer in the Central Plains" and "The South of the River", Xinxiang recorded the long history of ancient China, and also painted a colorful stroke in the history of Chinese rock. It is conceivable that in the near future, China’s rock and new music will be sung in Xinxiang and the Central Plains for a long time.

Original title: "China Rock Base, Why Xinxiang, Henan? 》

Read the original text

　　The TV series Glorious Times richly reproduces the true history of the underground party before the founding of the People’s Republic of China and the public security soldiers at the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China defending the capital of new China. At the beginning of liberation, everything was in ruins, spies destroyed it, profiteers hoarded grain, hungry people looted it, and bullies bullied it. The new public security organs had to face a complicated situation, not only by waging a resolute struggle, but also by paying attention to the strategy and art of struggle. In the tortuous and complicated narrative, this drama has shaped the heroes of the early public security soldiers in New China in a three-dimensional and vivid way.

　　First, the division between brotherhood and faith

　　The main contradiction in Glorious Times is the struggle between the Criminal Investigation Team of the Public Security Bureau led by my younger brother Zheng Chaoyang and the "Taoyuan" Action Team of the Kuomintang secret service organization led by my older brother, but there is deep affection between the brothers and the organizations. How can this contradiction be expressed? China culture is a culture that attaches importance to family ties, and brotherhood is the most favorite part of Chinese film and television works. However, China culture has a rational example of "putting righteousness above family ties". This classic idiom represents a rational choice with principles higher than family ties in China culture. However, from family ties to family ties, there must be a process of thinking and selection based on faith. If it is not well written, it will easily appear blunt and false.

　　?

　　Second, emphasize the intersection of narrative and genre

　　Glorious Times has made a serious exploration and innovation in the narrative of plays, and the screenwriter has crossed and integrated the types of anti-special dramas and criminal investigation dramas. The audience’s instinct is to watch the anti-special drama. Plays generally put the lives of underground workers in our party under the threat of the enemy. The audience who agree with the underground party has been worried about the protagonist, hoping that they can escape the capture of the enemy and hope that they can survive to complete the task and meet the victory. The film has described many times that Zheng Chaoyang is in crisis, being pursued and imprisoned by the enemy. Zheng Chaoyang escaped many times and saved the day, which greatly satisfied the audience’s expectation. The criminal investigation drama appeals to the audience’s curiosity. The audience is attracted by unsolved cases and suspense, and follows the scriptwriter’s layers to peel off bamboo shoots, remove all kinds of illusions and side details, and finally approach the truth through the author’s layers of reasoning. It is in this process that the drama constantly sets suspense clouds and raises the audience’s curiosity, such as who is the blind cat? Who is Taoyuan? Who is the Snow Mountain? The female ghost arson case, the female worker poisoning case, the factory explosion case, and the case of Gege’s murder, the audience followed the police in the play and cracked them one by one, and their viewing wishes were also met one by one, resulting in viewing pleasure. The mix of types has become the key to the high ratings of Glorious Times.

　　Another important exploration in the narrative style of this drama is to add light comedy elements to the close colleagues in the public security organs, which makes the narrative relaxed and ups and downs … …

　　Third, show strength and rich performance

　　In reality, anti-spy and criminal investigation originally need the verisimilitude of makeup and the likeness of performance, especially the anti-spy+criminal investigation type drama. These two types of hero designs provide a broad stage and rich channels for performance and role creation. As soon as Zhang Yi appeared, he showed his amazing skills and profound performance skills: he played the descendants of the Eight Banners who carried birds in cages, and when he appeared, he was like a descendant of nobles, with a straight waist and a full-fledged skirt when he sat down; He plays the grain store guy, simple and clever. Facing beggars, he shows mutual friendship between the bottom people and a little superior impatience. Performing Shanxi businessmen, not only speaks an authentic Shanxi accent, but also shows the style of foreign businessmen with crutches and arrogance towards the poor citizens in Beijing; When playing a small grain vendor who goes deep into the enemy’s camp, he first bends down and crosses his legs with his hands in his sleeves, which makes him look humble, but squinting at each other shows the cunning and calculation of the businessman; When talking with Xu Zongren, the stationmaster of Beiping Station of Secrecy Bureau on behalf of the organization, he showed calmness, confidence and deterrence. In the face of rogue spy Xian Dengkui, his action design is to stretch out his arms and shake his head, showing a rogue-like fight against evil, so that the other party has to bow their heads.

　　When expressing the intimate relationship with the superior, Zhang Yi does not fall into the model nest, giving the characters the expression of their character. For example, when the leader assigned tasks, he sometimes stood on the kang and raised one leg, sometimes squatted on the ground to show cheating, and sometimes lay on the bed. When the old superior lost his temper and said, "Don’t be shameless," he fell to the ground in shock and said in a pleading tone, "How can you not be funny?" In the police training class, he and Hao Pingchuan sat behind Bai Ling, completely like a pair of naughty students. It is also an exploration to let comedy show in the relationship between superiors and subordinates and comrades-in-arms in our army, which shows the intimacy between the old comrades in the army, but it is within the proper limits between superiors and subordinates.　 　

　　Huang Zhizhong’s "Cold Chess" spy Zheng Chaoshan shows the professional ethics of a surgeon, which is more like the basic camouflage quality of professionalism and specialization that an old-school spy should have. Huang Zhizhong combined the feelings of intellectuals with the cunning, great and vicious nature of latent spies. When expressing the contradiction between brotherhood and faith, he did not exaggerate the external movements and expressions, but let the audience feel the fierceness and pain of the inner conflict.

　　Bai Ling, played by Feeling Pan, vividly depicts Bai Ling’s intelligence, composure and thoughtful.

　　Xue Jia’ ning’s Qin Zhaodi, Zhang Juanyi’s Hao Pingchuan, Lawrence Wang’s Zong Xiangfang, Huang Pinyuan’s Luo Yong, Li Tian Nuo’s Qi Lala, etc. all have distinctive personalities and are remarkable.

　　The TV series "Glorious Times" shows the glory and brilliance of that era! (Zhang Wei, Executive Vice President of China Film Critics Association)

Finger counting, the May Day holiday has entered the countdown. Are you going to spend it at home or go out for a wave? However, no matter where we go during the holiday, it is People Mountain People Sea, but it still can’t stop the excitement that we want to go out to play. After all, there are only a few long holidays in a year. Of course, we should seize the opportunity to go out.

　　According to past experience, during holidays, the expressway is jammed, so how to plan the travel route scientifically without blocking the road? In order to save time and travel with peace of mind, the map of sogou analyzes the peak travel time, highway congestion and popular cities in all parts of the country during the May Day holiday in advance, and comes up with a "May 1 Labor Day Travel Forecast", which is more practical after reading it.

　　According to the forecast of sogou map, because some people choose to travel in advance during the holiday, the first wave of travel peak of May Day holiday will be ushered in from 15: 00 to 20: 00 on April 28. April 29 is the first day of the small holiday, and the rush hour of the trip is from 9: 00 to 19: 00; The peak return time is from 15: 00 to 23: 00 on May 1.

　　In addition, the map of sogou accurately predicted the congested sections of expressways during the May Day holiday. Some high-speed sections, such as Beijing-Tibet Expressway, Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, Shenhai Expressway, Daguang Expressway, Wuhu Expressway and Quannan Expressway, will be congested to varying degrees due to the substantial increase in traffic flow, especially self-driving traffic. The map of sogou reminds everyone that if you don’t want to be stuck in the highway for a party, you should try your best to travel at the wrong peak, make a good route plan in advance, and call "Wang Tsai" to help you understand the real-time road conditions, so as to avoid putting people on the road.

　　According to the report, the most popular tourist cities during the May Day holiday are mainly concentrated in the south. Except for Beijing, which ranks second, the top ten popular cities in China are occupied by southern cities without exception. This year, Guangzhou ranks first among the most popular domestic cities on May 1 ST, with suitable temperature and many places to play and scenic spots, so it is quite popular with people.

　　As the small holiday lasts only three days, it is too far to cross the city or you don’t want to go to popular cities to watch the crowds, so it is also a good way to take a leisure vacation to choose travel activities such as self-driving Zhou Bianyou and leisure tour.

　　The May Day holiday is just around the corner, and everyone must have been unable to hold back the joy of traveling. Holiday travel safety is the first priority. If you want to let yourself go quickly and arrive safely, please accept this sogou map travel guide!

In China, the number of take-away users has reached 360 million, and the average daily order volume is tens of millions. In order to serve these hungry diners, there are more than one million take-away riders rushing around the streets of hundreds of cities across the country.

Each color in the picture above represents a rider.

Takeaway riders are a group of energetic "little brothers":Nearly 70% of them are under the age of 35, and more than 90% are men.. Although the proportion of "little sister rider" and "big brother rider" is low, they don’t let a young man be old and strong, and their work performance is equally excellent.

On average, a riderI have to work 8 hours a day, stand by for 12 hours and deliver 48 orders.. If the average distance between merchants and diners is 3 kilometers and each order is 1.5 people, the rider travels nearly 150 kilometers every day, saving diners 100 hours and walking 400 kilometers less every day.

And this is just a microcosm of millions of riders. Behind this microcosm, there are more data details; Behind the details of the data, it is the embarrassment that riders exchange sweat for a better life.

Hard-working riders

The horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents order quantity.

Four o’clock in the morning is the quietest time of the day in Shanghai, a super city. Most residents have fallen asleep, and the riders have started the "handover" of work: the riders who have delivered the supper can finally get off work, and another group of riders get up early to prepare for the first breakfast today.

A qualified rider must have a good physical strength, get up in the morning and endure at night.

However, super endurance is only part of the rider’s necessary working ability.

Each horizontal rectangular combination in the figure represents the working state of a rider on a certain day in July 2018. The period marked in blue indicates that the rider is running on the road, and the period marked in white indicates that the rider has no pick-up ticket or is in a rest state.

As can be seen from the above picture (combined with the above picture), the working hours of riders are highly fragmented. The rider’s workload is not evenly distributed in all time periods: every time the order for "meals" comes like the tide, the rider must work continuously for several hours with high intensity; However, there are fewer orders during the non-"meal" period, and whether you can grab the order successfully depends on your hand speed.

Working 8 hours a day, waiting for 12 hours, cycling between high-intensity running and fragmented grabbing, this is the real working state of the rider.

These are just the "daily" of the rider. Special weather conditions are the real test for riders.

Based on non-rainy days, the heavier the rain, the more take-away orders.

It can be seen that the number of orders in rainy days is far more than that in non-rainy days, and even close to 1.7 times in rainy days. At this time, some riders will choose to rest in rainy days, while others regard rainy days as an excellent opportunity to run more singles.

Real riders dare to face up to the surge in orders and the bad weather.

A variety of styles of riders

Generally speaking, the work area of each rider is relatively fixed (you can go back to the first picture at the beginning), and it is more efficient to be familiar with the store and familiar with the door. However, the size of each rider’s "territory" varies greatly.

In the picture above, a dot represents a rider. The horizontal axis represents the main activity range of the rider (95% threshold of latitude and longitude of the area visited in a week, converted into square kilometers), and the vertical axis represents the average daily riding distance of the rider in kilometers. The more riders in this area, the deeper the blue background.

We selected a group of riders with average daily orders (about 45 orders), and counted their range of activities and average daily riding distance. It can be seen that the smallest range of activities of these riders is only 18 square kilometers, and the larger one is close to 35 square kilometers. Although the range of activities is nearly 2 times, everyone’s riding distance is about 150 kilometers. Why is this happening?

We can guess:Although the goal is "running less and running more", different riders have different working styles.

Based on this speculation, we selected 11 dimensions to represent the rider’s food delivery style, and conducted principal component analysis (PCA) on these dimensions.(These 11 dimensions include: working hours, fragmentation of order time, proportion of lunch orders, proportion of dinner orders, proportion of meal orders, proportion of supper orders, average distance per order, size of activity range, ratio of length to width and radius of activity range, proportion of drop-by orders and average delivery time per order. )

[Readers who are not interested in PCA can skip this picture without affecting the full-text reading]The above figure depicts the importance of the two principal components of PCA. The horizontal axis is principal component 1, the vertical axis is principal component 2, 11 arrows represent 11 variables, and the coordinates represent their projections on the two principal component axes. It can be seen that the rider’s food delivery style has two basic components: time (principal component 1) and space (principal component 2). And the drop-in list and the average delivery distance per order are the combination of time and space components.

On this basis, we carry out K-means clustering and divide the work style of riders into 9 categories. As shown in the figure below, each point in the figure represents a rider, and riders in the same polygon have the same style.

From the nine styles, we select four most distinctive ones and analyze them.

The first type: "velocity flow" style

The above picture shows the activity path of a rider with a "speed flow" style at a certain time of the day. Blue marks represent riders, red dots represent restaurants, yellow dots represent customers, and blue lines represent riders’ running paths. It can be seen that the rider’s activity area is not large, and the restaurants and customers are very dense.

The riders of "Speed Stream" are mostly active in densely populated and order-intensive areas (such as the city center). Their characteristics are small activity range (average 20 square kilometers) and fast food delivery (average delivery time is 23 minutes). They can usually get more orders and better customer comments.

The second type: "downstream flow" style

We define the concept of "drop-in order": the rider has also handled other orders during the process from picking up meals to delivering meals. The meaning of "downstream flow" is "high proportion of downstream bills". The above picture shows the activity path of a rider with a "downstream flow" style at a certain time of the day. In the rider’s activity area, the location of restaurants and customers is sparse. This rider often runs several restaurants and then several customers in a row.

A bold and cautious rider is not afraid of running far, and he is afraid that there are not many orders; No Jin Gangzuan, no porcelain work. The average range of activities of "Riverside Riders" is 30 square kilometers, but as high as 80%, they don’t need to run many more roads. Adopting this working style not only tests riders’ familiarity with road buildings in the area, but also tests their ability of route planning and time control, and it is also a great challenge to the ability of improvisation.

The third type: "grab a meal" style

The above picture shows the activity path of a "grab a meal" style rider at a certain time of the day. The rider didn’t go to work until 11 o’clock in the morning, and he was so busy that he flew. 1-3 pm, the rider has a long rest; Get busy again around 4 o’clock.

About 60% of the riders’ orders in a day are concentrated in lunch and dinner (the industry average is 45%). They combine work and rest, go all out at the peak of the order, their hands and feet are much faster than their peers, and they have a good rest after heavy work until the next meal arrives.

The fourth type: "Desperate Lang" style

The above picture shows the activity path of a "Desperate Lang" style rider at a certain time of the day. The rider ran continuously from 7: 00 a.m. on June 19th to 1: 00 a.m. on June 20th for nearly 18 hours.

There are some riders. They are on the road when you have breakfast, and they are still on the road when you have supper. High attendance, many running orders, flowing customers, iron brother. It’s hard to travel for an average of 12 hours? "Desperate Lang" smiled, turned around and set foot on the journey again.

In the invisible competition with time and space, take-away riders are far from being as simple as "eating bitter".In the seemingly repetitive and monotonous rush, the rider combines the characteristics of his own ability and the characteristics of his work area, and develops his own style with experience and wisdom to complete his work and serve customers more efficiently.

One order after another, day after day. Riders appear in our mobile phone call records almost every day, and they are the most familiar strangers. They work hard and struggle for wisdom, so that we can have hot meals on time.

However, in recent media reports, people tend to pay more attention to accidental events such as "being late" and "poor attitude", while ignoring the punctuality and hospitality of riders most of the time.

Like many workers who have left their homes, riders have crossed hundreds of kilometers to integrate into the cities that give them hope, and they have fulfilled their promise of "on-time delivery" to customers with hard work. On the way of the rider’s food delivery, there are storms, competition, tempering and growth. When "little brother" gradually becomes "big brother", they may say something like this:

"A man’s life should be spent like this: when he looks back, he will not regret for wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of being mediocre. When he retired, he could say: My beautiful youth and peak energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world-the struggle to make human beings eat.

　　Zhang Aijia is going to release his new three-year work "A Good Dad" in April.

　　(Photo/Zhang Xiuqiong) A press conference was held in Hong Kong yesterday with Zhang Aijia’s new work A Good Dad, which was painted on April 10 this year. Zhang Aijia met with the media with the main creator. Speaking of unforgettable things in filming, Rene Liu, the heroine, broke the news that she was misunderstood by Louis Koo, the hero, and was reprimanded for "having dinner with everyone". She was so wronged that she burst into tears. Huang Lei had previously called Rene Liu "the director of the waterworks" in her blog, which she accepted and admitted that her lacrimal gland was developed.

　　

　　Rene Liu claimed to attract attention by getting married and having children.

　　Rene Liu said that he is not a topic figure, but only attracts attention by getting married and having children.

　　In A Good Dad, Rene Liu played the role of mother for the third time. However, what is special this time is that, due to the large age span of the characters in the play, Zhang Aijia found five girls of different age groups to play the role of her daughter. "This makes me have five daughters." She said with a smile, "Because I have to get along with little actors often, I have become naive in speaking. For example, I told her that the car was a car, and once I told my assistant,’ Look, here comes the car. "

　　Getting along with interesting and lovely children day and night, does it stimulate the desire to be a mother? Milk tea calmly replied: "Being a mother is something that needs to be faced rationally. How can it be decided by impulse?". When it comes to motherhood, in fact, I have always had it in my heart, and it was not a scene that was inspired. "

　　Earlier, Taiwan Province singer Chen Sheng urged milk tea to get married and have children as soon as possible. Yesterday, she laughed and said the reason: "Do you know what the reason is? Because I am a person who has no topic, I can only take such things as having children. In order to be topical, I can’t get married or have children yet, haha. "

　　

　　Louis Koo misunderstood that Rene Liu was not sympathetic to the staff.

　　Rene Liu, the "director of the waterworks", was cried by Louis Koo because of his box lunch.

　　Huang Lei, who has worked with milk tea, once called her "the director of waterworks" in her blog, Zhou Xun was the deputy director, and Yi Nengjing was the director of management office, which shows that the lacrimal gland of milk tea is developed. She loves to cry, and she also cries in A Box of Good Dad. Once after filming a crying scene, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon, and then she had time to have lunch. Louis Koo, who had a play in the afternoon, saw Rene Liu eating a box lunch alone after arriving at the crew, thinking that she was eating dinner, and reprimanded her on the spot: "You should ask other staff whether they ate it or not!" The milk tea whose mood has not been completely removed from the last crying scene, I don’t know the explanation for the injustice, and my tears come down: "People are really hungry …"

　　Speaking of this misunderstanding, Louis Koo was quite embarrassed, explaining that the temperature was as high as 30 degrees when shooting, and everyone was very hard, so he was particularly sympathetic to the staff. Since then, every time milk tea eats, it will first ask: "Did everyone eat?"

Wild roe deer in the administrator’s lens

In the early winter, when the sixth ecological replenishment of Tangzhishan Reservoir started, this water area welcomed three surprising visitors — — Wild roe deer. This discovery made the Tangzhishan Reservoir have the trace record of the roe deer for the first time.

Recently, when the managers of Tangzhishan Reservoir visited the reservoir area and walked near the waterside wetland, they noticed three swaying figures not far away, and initially judged that they were a deer-like animal of medium size. In order to further confirm, they adjusted the focal length of the camera, and observed through the lens that the body hair of the three animals was grayish brown, and there were two big ears on their heads, as if they were listening to the surrounding movements warily. The manager recognized this as a roe deer.

"The roe deer is a very interesting animal, which is more common in the northeast. It is really rare to see the wild roe deer in Beijing. Most of them live in sparse forest belts, usually active in river valleys and gentle slopes. Waterfront wetlands like Tangzhishan Reservoir are also one of their favorite environments. " The manager stopped, turned off the equipment that might make noise, and quietly observed in the same place: I saw a roe deer raising its front hoof, testing on the soft mud of the wetland, and curiously looking at the surrounding environment with big eyes. They jumped around in the grass and looked cute.

In recent years, the water ecological environment of Tangzhishan Reservoir is becoming more and more perfect, and the vegetation around the water area is becoming more and more lush, creating an ideal habitat for wild animals.(Reporter Yan Yingshuo)
