Recently, because my NetEase Cloud Music membership “expired”, in a very bad mental state, I angrily uninstalled the app and started looking for other music platforms.
As the weather has been getting warmer recently, I chose an Airmate FA18 electric fan on the JD.com app. The promotional poster claimed that it is a high-quality, silent fan with AI voice function, but the product I received made me suspicious. It looks like a poorly made product. Firstly, the product logo has many signs of use, making it look like it has been used for a long time, which means it could be a second-hand product. In addition, I found many flaws in several parts of the electric fan, which made me question whether it is a fake product. Since I purchased it from the Airmate official flagship store on JD.com, according to my 20 years of online shopping experience, it is almost impossible for such a channel to sell fake products. Moreover, I have shopped online on JD.com nearly a thousand times and have never encountered such a problem. I sent these pictures to customer service, and they quickly arranged a return. Due to this extremely unpleasant shopping experience, I no longer want to continue buying products from this brand and immediately purchased another electric fan produced by Midea Electric.
The 2024 Chinese Lunar New Year holiday lasts for a total of 8 days, and most places also have a holiday on the eve of the New Year, which is considered part of the actual holiday, making it 9 days. Taking advantage of the long holiday, I didn’t hesitate to bring the children back to my hometown in Hunan to celebrate the New Year. Even though the traffic jams on the way back and forth exceeded ten hours, such minor difficulties seemed insignificant compared to the joy of family reunion and the warmth of kinship.
Recently, I rushed back from Guangdong to Hunan to attend two weddings. One was my cousin’s wedding, and the other was the wedding of a high school classmate whom my wife and I both know. These two weddings have been long awaited and are considered well-deserved. Among them, my cousin’s wedding began to be planned at the beginning of 2023. His wife comes from a remote mountainous area in Yunnan and belongs to the Lahu ethnic group. Another classmate’s wedding was planned three years ago but was unable to be held due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has always been difficult to gather a large number of people. Therefore, it was only held this year during the Spring Festival when everyone had spare time to make up for the wedding. In fact, their son is already three years old.
Recently, due to some reasons, we have had to move from our original office building to another office building. I worked in the previous office building for 9 years, during which time I also changed several offices, but none of these moves were as impactful as the current one, which involves a complete relocation to a different building. Although the original office building was constructed in 1983, it was still adaptable to current office needs. However, the newly occupied office building, despite being built at a later time, has an interior that seems very serious and oppressive.
Today, I had the great pleasure of attending the Foshan High-Quality Development and Rule of Law Forum. The theme of this forum was bankruptcy and the rule of law. The event featured two top experts in the field of bankruptcy law in China: Professor Li Shuguang from China University of Political Science and Law, and Professor Xu Yangguang from Renmin University of China. In addition, Judge Ding Haihu, an expert in bankruptcy adjudication from the High People’s Court of Guangdong Province, was also invited to speak at the event.
Seven-Star Rock is located in Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province. The scenic area covers a total area of 8.23 square kilometers. It is named Seven-Star Rock because the seven limestone peaks are arranged in a pattern similar to the Big Dipper constellation in the sky. It is a AAAA-level scenic spot in China.
Today, I participated in our company’s union activity and went to Zhaoqing Ziyun Cave Scenic Area with my colleagues. It is a relatively niche attraction with not many tourists, but the scenery is quite beautiful. Additionally, it is conveniently located near the city, making transportation relatively easy.
