In the booming Spring Festival holiday, the New Year’s Eve dinner is undoubtedly the highlight.

　　When the New Year’s bell is about to ring, people treat themselves with the delicious food on the New Year’s Eve. On the dining table, whether it is the taste of fish, the taste of sea, the taste of bacon or the taste of rice cakes, it is the taste of home.

　　In China, the word "reunion" has always been the key word for New Year’s Eve, from street neighborhoods to rural buildings. It is precisely because of the "family reunion" that the New Year’s Eve dinner has the power to soothe people’s hearts.

　　It is written in A Dream of Red Mansions that on New Year’s Eve, Jia’s family will hold a banquet to meet each other, and the whole family will sit together happily. Then, "Tu Su wine, acacia soup, auspicious fruit, wishful cake" will be served, and the lines are filled with the joy of the New Year.

　　Rich products and superb cooking skills make the food from all over the world bloom differently on the dinner table. Seafood in the southeast, delicacies in the southwest, cattle and sheep in the north, and pasta in the west all have different tastes, which makes the New Year’s Eve dinner a family.

　　On the issue of what to eat at the New Year’s Eve dinner, Zhejiang people have their own opinions: Ningbo people have to roast crabs with red paste on holidays, Shaoxing people have a "nail house" to stir up frozen meat in the New Year’s Eve dinner, and sauce duck is the favorite of Hangzhou people at the New Year’s Eve dinner …

　　How can there be no "Jade Liquid Joan Su Zuoshou Cup" when the dishes are tasted five times? If the New Year’s Eve dinner is the ultimate family dinner, then wine is the soul of the New Year’s Eve dinner. Writer Feng Jicai once recalled that one year, in order not to miss the New Year’s Eve dinner, he pedaled his bicycle all over the city to find wine, and finally found a bottle of wine in a small grocery store. This bottle of wine, which he has been thinking about for a long time, is regarded as the crowning touch in the family banquet.

　　The New Year’s Eve dinner has a different name in Wenzhou-"Fennian wine", and ten tall bowls are filled with ten kinds of cold dishes, which is "perfect". On Shaoxing people’s New Year’s Eve dinner table, amber yellow rice wine warmed with a tin hip flask is indispensable, and a sip of fennel beans is taken, and the warmth suddenly comes to mind.

　　It is said that the fireworks in the world are the most touching to the hearts of ordinary people. In the internet age, the fireworks of the New Year are on the line. In the circle of friends, I put a few beautiful pictures of the New Year’s Eve dinner, coupled with a beautiful copy and rows of praises. The warmth of my home spreads in the air, and there is no future. At this time, one party’s dining table has become a competition venue, where different regional cuisines "compete".

　　Why is the New Year’s Eve especially worrying and memorable? What makes this meal have soothing power? Among them, there are nothing more than three flavors.

　　It begins with the taste of hometown.The flavor of hometown always extends in the memory and dreams of wanderers, inspiring deep attachment to hometown. The fresh and salty sauce duck, the smooth glutinous rice and sweet glutinous rice dumplings, the oily but not greasy braised pork with dried plum vegetables, and the fresh and spicy fish head with chopped peppers all have their own local flavor, or thick oil red sauce, or fresh and refreshing, or the combination of fresh and salty, which makes people’s mouths salivate and captures people’s hearts and stomachs. The bittersweet taste is experienced in the daily training, but at this moment it returns to the same taste-the taste of hometown.

　　During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Liang Shiqiu, a writer, was in the rear of Chongqing. What came to mind was the bean juice and candied haws in his hometown of Beiping. Even the peddler’s cries along the street, once he closed his eyes, seemed to be in his ear. Homesickness makes the meaning of New Year’s Eve even more precious.

　　Loyal to the taste of reunion.Family members sit around, and affection overflows. After all the water in Qian Shan, it is still the smell of home that makes people cry. Wipe away the dust, and make friends with each other. Those concerns and greetings that have been accumulated for a year can always be unloaded at this moment.

　　Today, the material life has been greatly enriched, and the New Year’s Eve dinner may not be much different from the usual meals. People are no longer as obsessed with the Chinese New Year’s delicious food as before, but the meaning of this meal is quite different. Even though there are many different kinds of jade dishes outside, at this moment, they can’t match a table of home-cooked meals for family reunion. In many people’s minds, even in the biting cold season, the hot air rising from the dinner table at home can dispel the chill of winter and awaken the spirit.

　　In the flavor of hope.The New Year’s Eve dinner, which is full of emotions and implications, is a necessary ceremony for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. The common scenery between heaven and earth, the native land and local accent in the world are all love and enthusiasm for life itself.

　　In Jiangnan, where things are rich and people are abundant, the New Year’s Eve dinner on the tip of the tongue not only pays attention to the exquisiteness of "food is not tired of essence, but also has a festive" mouth color ":the eight-treasure rice and eight-treasure vegetables that Hangzhou people love to eat symbolize good luck; On the dining table of Wenzhou people who eat the sea by the sea, "no feast can be made without yellow croaker, and no good yellow croaker can’t hold back a good year", and "more than one year" is an expectation and blessing. Behind the big meal, people’s simplest longing for life is revealed.

　　Some people say that in Chinese’s concept, only when everyone arrives is a real New Year’s Eve dinner; Having a New Year’s Eve dinner with family is a unique sense of ceremony in Chinese. But beyond the lights, those more unusual New Year’s Eve dinners also witness the warmth and love of the world.

　　There is always a group of people who can’t have a New Year’s Eve dinner with their families for various reasons. They may be medical staff who stick to their jobs, migrant workers who rush about for a living, international students who are far away from home, and so on. In fact, they are not without the fetters of family attachment and affection. Everyone wants to be the child that parents love, the omnipotent father, and the affectionate lover … They all look forward to sharing a table of meals with their families and tasting the taste of "family sitting around with friendly lights".

　　It’s not just the New Year’s Eve dinner at home. The distance between the police and the New Year’s Eve is called "Guarding". In the post of "no fight", there may be no big fish and big meat on their dinner table, and some even just "hurry"; Hospitals will not be deserted because of festivals, and diseases will not be on holiday. For front-line medical staff, perhaps just a bowl of hot jiaozi can satisfy them. Being busy and absent is the main theme of their reunion night.

　　They missed the New Year’s Eve dinner at home, and struggled in the front-line posts just to protect one side, but they sent a dish called "Responsibility and Responsibility" to thousands of families.

　　It is not the family reunion dinner that is full of warmth. Spending New Year’s Eve with a group of strange faces, although we met at first sight, not only was there no embarrassment, but there was a long-lost warmth and closeness. Those lonely old people and left-behind children who are unattended are invited by community cadres to be guests at the New Year’s Eve dinner table; Volunteers sent the meal just out of the pot to the construction workers and courier brothers who stuck to their posts. In this special New Year’s Eve dinner, the flavor of the year gradually transpired into a beautiful feeling of mutual help and deep affection between people.

　　The reason why the New Year’s Eve dinner is worth looking forward to is because it places people’s longing for a better life, contains the warmth of family and accumulates the strength of struggle. When we zoom in on the reality and focus on every living individual, we will find that there are always people who abandon the "small fortunate" of warm reunion in order to shoulder responsibility and lofty morality, and protect the most beautiful fireworks in the world with clear love and sincere feelings.

　　There is a saying in "China on the Tip of the Tongue": "These flavors have been mixed with feelings and beliefs such as hometown, folks, nostalgia, thrift, perseverance, etc. for a long time, and then they are on the tip of the tongue and on the heart, so that we can hardly tell which is the taste and which is the feelings." It’s an indescribable and irreplaceable taste of home, and it’s also a family tradition that comes down in one continuous line from generation to generation in Chinese. When the familiar taste blooms between the lips and teeth, the taste buds are satisfied, and the heart is full.

　　As night falls, the Year of the Loong is coming. In the harbor at home, we soothe the soul; In the gathering of delicious food, we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Let’s have a reunion tonight and celebrate the Spring Festival in the Ming Dynasty.

CCTV News:Wang Tao has a beautiful resume: prestigious school education background, overseas study experience and numerous national awards. But Wang Tao thinks that the most precious thing is the evaluation of his predecessors in the circle: he is a young man who solves problems.

The problem that Wang Tao has to solve is related to everyone’s "personal life". As a researcher at the Institute of Engineering Mechanics, China Earthquake Administration, earthquake prevention and disaster reduction is his lifelong pursuit, and building sturdiness is his lifelong goal.

There is a saying in earthquake disaster science that "it is not the earthquake that kills people, but the building".

Wang Tao has been to many post-earthquake sites, participated in the rescue of Lushan earthquake in Sichuan, Yushu earthquake in Qinghai, Gongliu earthquake in Xinjiang, Nepal earthquake and other earthquake sites, and also did a lot of scientific research work on earthquake damage investigation of building structures in extremely difficult environment.

He deeply understands that only a strong house can protect life.

In the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Wang Tao found that the collapse of high-rise buildings was rare, but there were many cases of building abandonment caused by the destruction, and the coupling beam was the most seriously damaged component. In order to improve the seismic performance of high-rise buildings, Wang Tao led the team to conduct systematic research on new energy dissipation coupling beams.

This year, he just returned from Japan. Prior to this, Wang Tao had worked in the Institute of Disaster Prevention of Kyoto University for two years after receiving his Ph.D. from Kyoto University. When he learned that he chose to return to China to work in the Institute of Engineering Mechanics of China Earthquake Administration, the old-timers in the institute were particularly excited. Because in their eyes, Wang Tao is a "young and promising" and "daring and daring" scientist.

Facts have proved that the expectations of our predecessors have not failed. From material to structure, from connection to structure, Wang Tao’s team not only developed a new type of energy dissipation coupling beam system, but also directly served social engineering and achieved great economic and social benefits. It has been applied in millions of square meters of buildings and constitutes an important part of the national earthquake safety community.

It is an obvious feature of Wang Tao to "work harder" than others in scientific research.

Wang Tao graduated from the Department of Civil Engineering of Tsinghua University, but the seismic test involves many disciplines, which require knowledge of computer, signal processing, electronic circuit, control automation and other disciplines besides civil engineering. If Wang Tao is not good at it, he is knowledgeable and diligent.

Ten years ago, the earthquake engineering laboratory in the institute just started, and the equipment, instruments and personnel were very scarce. Wang Tao and the team members of the laboratory stayed up all night, from every screw to the connection test of various cables and data lines.

When doing experiments online with American scientific research institutions, Wang Tao led the team to start experiments at 8 o’clock every night according to the American schedule and worked until 5 or 6 o’clock the next morning. Watch the experimental results follow the expected trajectory, and sort out the experimental data at the first time. During that time, Wang Tao only slept for two or three hours every day.

Letting the research land is the ultimate goal of all Wang Tao’s efforts.

In the era of skyscrapers, earthquake resistance has become a new topic in the field of engineering construction, and Wang Tao has once again faced difficulties.

China Zun, one of the top ten contemporary buildings in China, is 528 meters high. It is the world’s first skyscraper over 500 meters built in an 8-degree earthquake-resistant area, and its seismic capacity has always been the focus of attention. Among them, Wang Tao’s team has successfully applied the research results of the project.

In the earthquake zone, the journey in 10 days is nearly 2000 kilometers, and the earthquake damage investigation is carried out in more than 40 towns and villages in Sichuan, which provides an important basis for the evaluation of earthquake intensity. In the city, put on a "coat" for brick-concrete structure houses to make Beijing’s old houses safe and livable for seismic reinforcement; In foreign countries, I assisted Nepal in scientific investigation after the earthquake, and often worked until two or three o’clock in the morning, still maintaining full fighting spirit.

In the earthquake, Wang Tao has been struggling to turn the building into a fortress.

It is estimated that many people have received similar sales calls, which makes people uncomfortable but helpless. So, how did the sales call evolve into a harassing call? Who the hell is calling us and in what way? How do they know our personal information? What should we do about these rampant harassing calls? CCTV’s "Focus Interview" reporter deeply harassed the telephone base camp and conducted an investigation.

Most mobile phone users will not be unfamiliar with sales calls, and many people will receive a dozen or even twenty sales calls a day. These sales calls are amazing. You can call outside, but you can’t call back. If you want to call back, the telemarketers will leave another mobile phone number. Can only pick up but can’t return, how is this done?

The reporter inquired about "telemarketing" positions on some recruitment websites, and found that many recruitment units offered salaries that sounded quite good, such as double salary commission and double salary at the end of the year, to attract employment, while the fields with large demand for them were mainly concentrated in insurance, wealth management, real estate, education and training and other sales industries.

The reporter first came to a real estate sales company. The scale of this company is not large. There are a dozen workstations. Each telemarketer has a computer in front of him. They wear headphones and keep talking, but they don’t see them dialing by landline or mobile phone.

Some staff told reporters that they dial through the computer system instead of manually dialing, so one person can make hundreds of calls a day.

The daily indicator requires calling for 7 hours and talking for 3 hours.

Another company that sells telephone insurance has a much larger scale. In the five-story office area, four floors are all such telephone sales stations. Some staff told reporters that there are more than 600 people selling by phone, not counting managers. Their goal this year is to achieve 1,000 people.

The reporter saw that the telemarketers on the phone spoke very quickly, some with manuscripts in their hands, some with words on the computer, and their mouths were endless. According to reports, they have their own set of special speech skills, and there are daily call length indicators, including the dial-up requirements, 3 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the afternoon, a total of 7 hours, and they are required to talk to others for no less than 3 hours every day.

It is understood that it is the requirement of many telemarketing companies to stipulate the basic number and duration of calls every day. In order to complete the daily call task, the telemarketers have to keep answering and trying to keep the other party on the line.

Similarly, this insurance company doesn’t need to make calls manually, and 500 or 600 telemarketers are automatically operated and assigned by the computer system. A telemarketing employee surnamed Liu told the reporter that the computer dials automatically. After dialing, the system will automatically find the operator, and the operator will automatically answer and cannot control it by himself. At about the same time, it is no problem to dial more than 50 numbers. Of course, most people will hang up the phone when they hear that it is telemarketing. In Xiao Liu’s view, success is still very difficult.

Automatic group calling without upper limit, low cost, and making money by issuing orders.

The success rate of telemarketing is not very high, so why are there still many companies that use telemarketing? Xiao Liu told reporters that telemarketing only needs to pick up a special telephone line, which is basically an uncapped package and can be played casually every month. The telemarketers all take the model of basic salary plus performance and commission, but in fact its labor cost is very low.

The reporter visited a number of telemarketing companies in succession to investigate, and automatic group calling by computer system is a common means for these telemarketing companies, which is easy to dial and low in cost, and once the bill is issued, it can make money. And a large number of sales calls come uninvited, which makes the majority of mobile phone users really annoyed and uncomfortable.

Customer data source: free insurance, APP personal data.

So, who is the sales call to? Where do customer resources come from? In this regard, these sales companies also have their own methods.

The reporter saw that in the computer system of telemarketers, the information of mobile phone users is clear at a glance. The customer information that is usually dialed will be saved by the telemarketers to their own customer resource library, and then they need to be dialed repeatedly.

In addition, because dialing through the computer, the displayed number often changes, which is difficult for telephone users to distinguish. In addition to chasing old customers repeatedly, the customer resources of telemarketing companies will continue to be updated. A staff member told the reporter that for telemarketing, data is life, not food, because there is data to achieve performance. In addition to some of its own databases, the rest of the customer resources are general quality data, and the data source is bought.

It is understood that there are two main sources of customers for telemarketing companies: one is the free insurance channel, and the other is the personal data left by some online APP platforms.

Intermediary service agencies cast nets all over the sky to call for customers, which is a marketing model that walks in a gray area. A company called you once or twice, and it didn’t steal or cheat. It doesn’t seem to be a big deal. However, many sales organizations in the society do this, which is extremely annoying and disturbing to users. This kind of unsolicited harassing phone calls has become a public hazard, which is not so much providing services as annoying anti-services. In an honest society, merchants should win customers by quality, service and reputation, instead of forced sales. As for those acts of collecting, trading and revealing citizens’ personal information for the so-called precision marketing, they have already violated the law.
