weddings have become the latest target for reform in china, reflecting government concerns that the ritual has become extravagant and, in some cases, immoral.

“rampant money worship”

& “declining morality”

 

the move to change how people marry follows a controversial funeral reform which is under way throughout the mainland which similarly aims to simplify the trappings of another milestone in people’s lives.

according to china’s ministry of civil affairs, modern weddings are extravagant and can sometimes raise moral issues. instead, it wants to encourage people to celebrate their big day in a more traditional and frugal way.

economic daily reported the ministry had a number of phenomena in its sights – including 

• “sky-high” monetary gifts, 

• a perceived need to keep up with the neighbours, 

• hazings that often lead to assault and violence

• and etc.

 – reflecting “rampant money worship” and “declining morality”.

 

 

abuses in over-the-top weddings

 

those problems “not only hinder growth and poverty alleviation in rural areas, but also affect the harmony of families and healthy development of society”, the ministry said it a national conference on friday in jinan, shandong province in eastern china.

 

grass-roots government bodies would be asked to standardise marriage rites to address these issues, a ministry official said in an interview with state broadcaster china central television on sunday.

 

“[we will] take advantage of the grass-roots organisations in rural areas to set guidelines on the process of weddings and the amount of cash gifts. they will be standardised in the form of villagers’ conventions and implemented by a wedding and funeral committee,” yang zongtao, from the ministry’s social affairs department, said.

 

local authorities will be urged to provide individualised, sacred marriage registration ceremonies to discourage people from resorting to lavish celebrations.

 

 

it’s hard to change the current situation

 

but experts doubted the government would be able to change people’s attitudes through such orders.

 

“these traditional rites, having been practised for so many years and which have become more and more popular, cannot simply be banned by an administrative order,” said xu anqi, from the shanghai academy of social sciences.

 

the wedding and funeral committee, created in rural areas in recent years to combat wasteful rituals, would not be an effective solution considering that many grass-roots agencies were known for their inaction, xu said.

“to change these old customs relies mainly on public education and the promotion of new concepts and new ways. the media shouldn’t over-publicise celebrity weddings, and celebrities play an especially important role in guiding the public,” she said.

 

zhuang deshui, vice-director of the government integrity and anti-corruption research centre at peking university, said that while it was inappropriate for the government to intervene in social customs, weddings and funerals were often linked to corruption of officials, an issue the government was responsible for.

 

“the government is responsible for ensuring communist party members, officials and civil servants are clean. and in many cases, weddings and funerals are opportunities for these people to get bribes. so in this sense, purifying the social environment helps crack down on corruption,” zhuang said.

sometimes, when you send a message to someone on wechat, you may get a reply like this: “your friend has enabled friend confirmation. [send a friend request] to chat.” this sentence sounds cold and sad.

 

the topic of #will you tell your wechat friends before deleting them# has recently become hot discussion in weibo with 240 million people participating. most people choose to keep silence, not telling their wechat friends and delete directly.

don’t tell each other 

(keeping silence)

netizen “瑟瑟发抖的鱼”

 

deleting a friend means a relationship, from intimacy to alienation, to the end. for those wechat friends who are not very close to you, there is no need to delete them.

the network of friends is so big that it is also an excellent state to contact occasionally. any relationship in this world is hard to come by. if we don’t go to the end, we always think there is room for manoeuvre.

netizen “奔现”

 

deleting silently is the way of social tacit understanding.

telling before deleting 

 

netizen “飞翔”

 

telling my friends and then delete them, so you can not see the reply of them, others also know that you deleted him. i also don’t understand those who delete others directly, no matter why they add others or why they add you in the first place.

netizen “大江”

 

every time i delete a person, i will say one sentence: i am sorry to delete you. thank you~ i think it is basic manner. just like before you add someone as a friend, they have to click “accept“.

depending on the situation

netizen “不问前程”

 

deleting before telling the other side just like the phone arrears before the shutdown will remind you to recharge to avoid downtime!

the person that really want to delete you will not be verbose! but those who tell you in advance are actually reluctant to delete you.

netizen “消停”

 

deleting before telling the other side just like the phone arrears before the shutdown will remind you to recharge to avoid downtime!

the person that really want to delete you will not be verbose! but those who tell you in advance are actually reluctant to delete you.

perhaps you can refer to 

the following method?

if you can’t make up your mind, just take a look at the following example. it seems to be a good idea!

posting a passage in your wechat moments, indicating that people who give you a like means you can delete them. give yourself face and respect for each other.

she’s a woman that most chinese as well as many foreigners like. she’s a queen with rmb seven billion and absolute power in the realm. her name is tao huabi, founder of lao gan ma, a brand of chili sauce.

there were three institutions that invited her to go public before, but she has been insisting that her company should not go public:

“listing is cheating people’s money,” she said. 

 

“the money you take calls on people to buy shares and suck their money away, and i don’t want to do that.”

 

she doesn’t advertise nor takes out loans.

there is only one core point: the product. 

a good product can win the market.

no shares, no financing, no listing

how did this illiterate old lady develop from a peasant woman in a remote area to drive a rolls-royce when she went back to her hometown?

– 1 –

she was born in a remote village in guizhou. when she was a child, her family was poor and couldn’t afford to send her to school. tao huabi got married when she was 20. sadly, her husband eventually died of illness, leaving her with their two children.

– 2 –

in order to support her family, she had to go to guangdong province to work and earn money. she brought chili from home and made it into a sauce to eat with rice. after constant mixing, she made a special chili sauce.

in 1989, at the age of 42, she returned to guiyang and began selling rice curd.

she built a shed with bricks, asbestos tiles and linoleum to sell it. her rice bean curd’s price was low, and the quantity sufficient. nearby students really loved it, to the point where some of them started paying on credit and building up “debt”. 

she knew which student families were really in trouble so she set the bill for free for the poor students who owed her money.

one of the poor students was very grateful to her and called her “gan ma”. as time went by, shop owners and students nearby all called her “lao gan ma” which, as you’ve come to know it, became a nationally-renowned brand name.

some clients would take away her yummy sauce after eating rice tofu. even the restaurants and passing truck drivers came to buy chili sauce. so she decided just to sell homemade sauces. 

– 3 –

after so many people had suggested that she opens her own factory, tao huabi finally set up a chili sauce factory in 1996.

the process of food enterprise is no more than 3 heads: product, material, distribution. tao huabi used her own way to fix each of those three problems.

the amount of chili sauce she made alone was too small to sell. she had to ask people to help her. but cutting chili peppers is a chore that many people don’t want to do. as a result, she had to work on the frontline for years. she suffered from severe shoulder periarthritis and calcification of nails.

when she first opened her factory, 

people came to her for trouble all day. 

they all wanted money from her. 

but she used her own strength to fight against those people.

in the beginning, guiyang no.2 glass factory was reluctant to produce packaging for her because the amount she needed was so small. but she insisted to cooperate with the factory, and later on, that factory finally allowed her to carry a basket and pick up dozens of bottles for use.

the compromise later became guiyang no.2 glass factory‘s life-saving straw. in the decades since, the state-owned glass factory has seen a wave of closures, but it has grown because of the “lao gan ma” brand standing behind it.

where did she go to sell more sauces?

tao huabi used baskets to put chili sauce and walked the streets every day looking for shops to sell them in, but no one wanted to accept the weird name and her sauce.

she negotiated with shopkeepers: put it on your shelves first, and give me money only when it sells. lao gan ma was then allowed to be carried on shops’ shelves.

tao huabi went back to wait less than a week before she began receiving phone calls: the store asked her to hurry up for more delivery. it became popular.

less than a year later, lao gan ma found her footing in guiyang. in august 1997, her company was formally established with more than 200 employees.

she’s good at chili sauce and running a small business, but running a company? everything depends on the system. 

for her, an uneducated woman, this felt almost impossible. her eldest son li guishan knew his mother’s difficulties and decided to come back to help.

because many documents required her signature, this is when she learned how to write her own name.

she is very kind to her employees

when someone goes on a business trip, she cook some eggs by herself and then sends them to the factory for a ride. if an employee wants to get married, she should be the presiding witness herself. 

employees say it is not easy to eat and sleep, so she made a decision: all staff’s meals and accommodation are paid for- this policy has not changed.

she often says to employees: ‘i’m old-fashioned, but you don’t want to be like me. when you kids go out, bring me some culture.’

for the sake of other people’s culture, tao huabi has sent managers to study in first-tier cities since the company was founded.

at the same time, she trusts people with culture. over the years, lao gan ma has recruited a large number of outstanding graduates, and the current management team is mostly made up of high-paid professional managers.

now, she sells 1.5 million bottles a day around the world, and brings in billions of dollars in cash flow annually.

mrs. tao rarely gives interviews, and in the few public statements she’s made, she has focused on only two things: how much tax she pays and how much she helps farmers. in 2014, she said lao gan ma had paid rmb 1.8 billion in taxes in the past three years and helped eight million farmers to earn a decent living.

as a result of her outstanding contribution, the guizhou provincial government has repeatedly awarded her with a license plate number.

now, tao huabi occasionally goes to the factory to check on the quality of her products. all her spare time is spent playing mahjong with some old friends.
