Some time ago, the price of local ice cream in Northeast China rushed to the topic because it was too cheap. In fact, the price of local ice cream has not increased much in recent years. Except for some very famous online celebrity products, the price of most ice cream can meet the ideal of buying a big bag for 10 yuan.

As a child in Northeast China, I really miss the days when I wholesale popsicles in boxes and chew popsicles all year round!

The snowman is full of candied haws and popsicles.

Ice cream and popsicles

/Accompany the Northeast people all the year round/

More than 20 years ago in winter, a child in Northeast China bought a few cents roasted sweet potatoes at the school gate after school, covered his hands while eating, and his breath formed a white fog in front of his face. Then, less than an hour after I turned home, I dug out a popsicle from the ice cream box in the yard and began to chew …

In the past, my southern roommate asked me curiously, why are Northeasters afraid of cold and heat? I said, "Imagine that it is MINUS 30℃ outside the house and 20℃ above zero in the house in winter. When the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor reaches 50, are you afraid?"

Frozen food is usually required to be stored below MINUS 18℃. The outdoor temperature in winter in the three northeastern provinces is much lower than this. Eating ice cream in winter can also save electricity at home, and the balcony or yard of every household is a natural refrigerator. Ice cream, frozen meat and frozen fruit are neatly arranged, and it is not unusual to sell ice cream on the street.

Popsicles and ice cream are all on the table, freezer? No need! Tuchong creativity

It is precisely because of the particularity of the weather that ice cream is bought all year round, and ice cream brands are not worried about selling.

Around the 1990s, the "new three items" of China families replaced the "old three items", and refrigerators became more and more popular as common household appliances. There are fewer and fewer aunts walking around with ice cream boxes on their backs, and there are all kinds of ice cream packed independently in small shops.

In summer, the old railway in Northeast China is even more presumptuous. With a refrigerator at home, ice cream is bought by the box, and several neighbors can enjoy the discount price and wholesale directly from the ice cream factory. There is no middleman to earn the difference. If you want to buy it in bulk, you can also buy it at any time at the designated window in the ice cream factory.

When I was a child, I especially liked to go to the ice cream factory, which is different from the small shop. There is a thick wall outside the ice cream factory, and there are several small windows on the wall. The windows are well sealed. Every time a salesperson opens the small windows, he will take out air conditioning from the inside. In the era when there is no air conditioning, the ice cream factory is a luxury for me in summer.

Childhood Memories of Children in Northeast China

/Popsicle, ice cream, ice cream, everything/

There are popsicles, milk bricks and milk cakes in Northeast China, among which popsicles are the most. If you ask others to help you buy a popsicle, you can buy 7 or 8 brands. The early popsicles were almost the same, and they were basically original milk flavor. At that time, the inner roll of popsicles was not as powerful as it is now.

The freezer in the canteen shoots Li eating hands.

Milk bricks and milk cakes have higher milk content and can be eaten quickly in summer. Now the glutinous rice paste in Zhongjie, which sells for 50 cents, still tastes the same as before. When I first ate glutinous rice paste, it felt like a sticky bean bag frozen outside in winter at home. However, the glutinous rice skin is not sticky at all, and it is soft, thin and a little strong. The ice cream milk inside is sweet and not greasy, and it melts in the mouth. Later, I ate other glutinous rice cakes, the price was several times higher, and it was not very delicious.

There is also the ice cream with waffles and milk cakes, which children especially like. There is no ice cream stick, so you have to drag it with a packaging bag when you eat it, and you will accidentally melt it. For example, the milk tofu of Hongqi is wrapped in wafer cakes on all sides, with milk cakes in the middle; There are many sandwiches in the square cake on Sunday, some of which can resist hunger like eight-treasure porridge; There are also hundreds of Wafer Ice Cream from Sofia, which is also a very popular classic …

To say that it is convenient to eat, the most powerful thing is this kind of sorbet. A hundred schools of thought won Sophia’s big bowl of sorbet. The sorbet is cut into small pieces, which can be used with a spoon, fork or chopsticks. It is convenient to eat without getting dirty hands. There are also ice cakes packed in bags by Lao Dingfeng, all of which give people a pleasure of swallowing ice cream.

A bag of ice cubes with several flavors, such as Sprite and Coke, costs a few cents. When you buy it, open a bag and pour it into a big tea pot to soak in water. At that time, it was not popular to freeze your own ice, so it was convenient and convenient to eat it.

Frozen drinks shoot Li eating hands.

In summer, at the cold drink stand at the entrance of the railway station, you can also eat soft drinks to soak sorbet, dig out several spoonfuls of sorbet balls from the ice cream vat, put them in a plastic cup of about 500 ml, and then open a bottle of iced soft drinks and pour them in. Ice cakes in cold drink stalls generally have low milk content and few flavors to choose from, but they are enough to relieve summer heat.

In addition to these, there are many ice cream with age memory.

Shenyang Huanggu ice cream left in my memory has its own selling sound BGM. After Huanggu ice cream returned, it also submitted a "sound trademark" for applying for registration of selling sound.

Jin Zhiwen has a song called "Pingquan Road", and there are two lyrics singing "Ice cream, ice cream in Changchun Hotel". Ice cream, little cream ice cream. " What I’m talking about is the small cream ice cream in Changchun Hotel.

Compared with the grounding gas of local ice cream brands, foreign brands spend more time on the style of ice cream. And Lu Xue’s green tongue, let me know that ice cream can not only be eaten, but also "scare people", and I have to swing it around for a long time every time I eat it halfway.

Green tongue, shoot, shoot, shoot

At that time, Mengniu and Yili also enriched the ice cream patterns in the supermarket under various competitions, such as small pudding, milk raisins and green mood. What surprised me most at that time was that they updated their products quickly.

Today’s Northeast Ice Cream Market

/Don’t mention it. Come and eat./

The Madiel Cold Drink Hall on Harbin Central Street is the punch-in point for tourists. Founded in 1906, Mattel is one of the earliest cold drink enterprises in China. There are many Russian-style buildings in Harbin. Mattel’s name is very exotic, but ice cream is a very simple strip. Different from other local brands that take the people-friendly route, the average price of Mattel today is more than 10 yuan, even in the high-end ice cream market.

In recent years, some brands of ice cream in Northeast China are very popular, such as Ruby (Northeast Big Board) and Baijiade, which are very popular with friends in the south. In 2019, when they were hungry, they released a map of China ice cream, and these ice creams were better in the province than in the local area.

There are also some ice cream brands in online celebrity that have become popular recently because of their good product marketing, such as Aoxue (double egg yolk ice cream, Northeast pot-stewed), Zhongjie (1946 series), Madiel, De’s (Grando series), Humboldt (grass-burning ice cream), etc. Those who have no perseverance have all gone to chop their hands.

In fact, it is easy to find ice cream decades ago in the freezer of the local supermarket. The owner of the small shop said that many old ice creams were upgraded and changed in packaging, but the inside remained unchanged.

People in Northeast China love ice cream, which is not inferior to other cuisines. Many cities have unique ice cream memories. Northeast ice cream, like northeast old iron, is warm and practical, which can make you full and eat well.

1905 movie network news Produced by Xú Zhēng, directed by Su Lun, and starring Lei Jiayin and Tong Liya, the comedy love fantasy film "Living Together in Time and Space" was released nationwide on May 18, 2018. The film has already started roadshows in Tianjin, Harbin, Chengdu, Shijiazhuang, Ningbo, Nanchang, Nanjing, Wuhan, Suzhou, Shanghai and other places, and the audience who watched the film in advance gave favorable comments. The 101-minute film had a maximum of 225 laughter, and strongly praised the film "Living Together in Time and Space" as "a movie that can’t wait to brush up", "a comedy that wants to be crazy about Amway" and "the love with the most heart-felt plot"

The film "Living Together in Time and Space" tells the story that Gu Xiaojiao (Tong Liya) from 2018 and Lu Ming (Lei Jiayin) from 1999 accidentally lived in the same room because of the overlap of time and space. From mutual dislike to trying to "conspire for great cause", a series of funny episodes were created by mistake, but the two people who enjoyed it did not know that the mysterious man who controlled all this actually wanted to "opportunistic" in 2037. … Under the wonderful cross-time background, Lei Jiayin also plays two roles with superb acting skills, which makes people more curious about what this film is full of comedy, love and fantasy elements.

Watch a new type of romantic comedy: the flow of bones and the interpretation of time and space love by the national goddess

This year, Lei Jiayin can be described as a continuous drama, with wonderful screens of different sizes, which brought multiple impressions to the audience. Wang Dading in the TV series "Peace Hotel" can not only gag, but also fight against Japan with blood; Shi Fei’s warm-hearted humor in old boys is the crowning touch of the whole play. At present, in the popular urban emotional drama "Great Expectations", Tong Liya broke through the previous image by disguising himself as "a handsome guy" and "a grandfather", and with the blessing of his powerful acting skills, he also made the audience shine.

In the movie "Living Together in Time and Space", Lei Jiayin, a drama star, and Tong Liya, a national goddess, performed "Love through Time and Space" with full highlights, respectively playing Lu Ming from 1999 and Gu Xiaojiao from 2018, laughing and making noise in the space where the two rooms were merged due to "wall crack". When they opened their doors, they were still in their own time, and when they opened the doors at the same time, a magical story happened. In 2018, Gu Xiaojiao not only showed Lu Ming the music playing function of the smart phone and the take-away service summoned by Siri’s assistant, but also teased and asked the latter "Do you want to sleep with me?" This warm and lovely cohabiting female roommate left Lei Jiayin in the 1990s helpless and full of cuteness. From their initial panic and disbelief to their peaceful coexistence and constant jokes, they can feel joy through the screen.

Aspect 2 Best Bad Friends Join Hands for the Second Time: The combination of "Lei Tong" is sweet and bursting to lead young people to Tik Tok’s new gameplay.

After the TV series "Weaning", Lei Jiayin and Tong Liya once again starred in the movie "Living Together in Time and Space" after a lapse of six years, which was full of surprises and sparks. Tong Liya revealed that he was actually invited by Lei Jiayin to make this film, and he was also looking forward to this work of two people moving from the screen to the big screen.

In the film, Lu Ming, who came from 1999, received a lot of slap in the face from Gu Xiaojiao at first, but later she was willing to do anything for her, pretending that her boyfriend went to help, and made a "chocolate cake" for Tong Liya with steamed bread chips and black sesame paste, and skillfully made a special "roast chicken" with dried beans and peanuts to soothe her face at the classmate party. In addition, they are still experiencing a brand-new life in each other’s time, creating wonderful, funny and sweet memories, including nostalgic dating in the 1990s and a trip of intelligent experience full of modernity. All kinds of daily life are enough to see that their feelings are gradually warming up. Previously, a set of "dead set" posters and four sets of "earthy love stories" exposed by the film side triggered hot comments from netizens, saying that the cross-time love between Lu Ming and Gu Xiaojiao was "sweet enough to snore", laughing that the screen CP was tens of millions, and Lei Jiayin and Tong Liya had a chance to watch! For young people’s favorite forms of entertainment, Lei Jiayin and Tong Liya also tried some new ways of playing in the film, such as "online celebrity cuisine", "sweet love" and "earth-flavored love stories", which triggered a wave of teasing and imitating by netizens on platforms such as Tik Tok.

Aspect 3: Self-knowledge in Fantasy Environment: Love and Career Complex Choice Torture Life

In the movie, Lei Jiayin plays two roles, Lu Ming in 1999 and Lu Shiyi in 2018. The former is an ordinary engineering designer. Being caught by accident at work, he is not only forced to lose his job, but also has to do something against his heart. The ultimate test exposed the complexity of human nature. Lu Ming, who was in a life crisis, launched a redemption for himself when his life was hanging by a thread. In 2018, Lu Shiyi was a business giant, and everything was given priority to monetary interests, which was pulled into the abyss by the expanding desire. From a "young boy" to an "industry elite", how the appearance of Gu Xiaojiao will change Lu Ming in 1999 and Lu Shiyi in 2018 is intriguing. Gu Xiaojiao himself is facing a major life choice in the transformation of time and space. "If you were given a chance to go back to the past, would you make the same choice?" Such a deep inquiry makes people think deeply. Can Lu Ming and Gu Xiaojiao, who encounter complicated choices of love and career, follow their own inclinations and stick to their nature? Where is the love across time and space going in the changeable time and space transformation? All kinds of questions will be solved one by one in the movie.

Watch four gold medal producers escort: comedy guarantees that Xú Zhēng will make you laugh in May.

The fresh genre, funny stories, touching emotions and profound themes not only attracted two powerful actors, Lei Jiayin and Tong Liya, but also producer Xú Zhēng escorted the whole film and supported young director Su Lun to create the first comedy love fantasy film in China.

This time, Xú Zhēng, who is known as "comedy guarantee", "box office panacea" and "genius director", participated in the whole process of supervising the story creation of the film, always maintained a meticulous attitude, spared no effort to find "interesting" and "exciting" points, and even broke through the play itself to pursue content with new meanings, striving to create a refreshing comedy love fantasy film. In addition, in addition to being a producer, he also starred in the film in friendship, appearing as a hot pot takeaway, and performed a self-proclaimed "walking clouds and flowing water", "golden python entangled" and "avalanche". At present, the film is on a hot road show in many cities across the country, and the audience has called it "an unexpectedly good-looking movie". During the movie-watching, they all laughed and cried when they were moved, and there were as many as 225 smiles in the 101-minute film.

Aspect 5: Young directors strive for perfection: the pursuit of detail and truth from a female perspective

Different from most male directors, female directors’ perception of life details is actually more specific, especially in love themes, and the content they convey will be more authentic and have a sense of life, making it easier for the audience to recall the bits and pieces of their feelings and feel the same. However, this time in the film "Living Together in Time and Space", the female director Su Lun did not limit her perspective to an independent love story, but chose to combine comedy and fantasy elements on this basis, adding time and space settings to the theme that was difficult to control, and expressed her brave and sincere love view in an unconventional form. Movies that combine love with cross-time setting and incorporate comedy elements are very rare, and this attempt by director Su Lun is also an experimental exploration of the development of film types in China.

It is worth mentioning that director Su Lun has also cooperated with Xú Zhēng, who is "acting well and guiding", and served as the executive director of classic comedies, and has his own unique understanding and experience in controlling comedy elements. In addition, during the filming of the film, director Su Lun insisted on Excellence from story creativity, scene details to actor interaction. Even if NG30 times, he would take pains to adjust various factors and present the best effect. I believe that with such a "detail control" director’s check, the film has several more layers of guarantee in quality!

Ethics in the Conflict of Modernity is a book published by the famous ethicist Mai gentile in the late nineties, which is an authoritative exposition of his philosophical thoughts. In this book, Mai gentile thinks that although the modern welfare state has made up for the disadvantages of capitalism to some extent and improved the living standards of most people, it has not fundamentally eliminated the greater disadvantages of capitalism, which often makes people tired and go astray in satisfying their desires, making it difficult to fully balance their interests and maintain a real cooperative life. Mai gentile hopes that people can think and study these problems, understand their social life, know how to negotiate and make correct moral choices, and become practical rationalists.

In this night when countless people revel in consumption, we hope that more people can understand the call of Mai gentile, examine their own desires and pursue a truly happy life.

Mai gentile: Modernity Suitable for Modern Moral Existence

What is the subject’s desire? How are these desires felt and expressed? How are they related to the subject’s practical reasoning? These problems have changed within the social and cultural order and between different social and cultural orders. Biological needs can be constant, but the objects to satisfy desires will be very different. In Edo in the 19th century, people ate sashimi to satisfy their appetite. In Bologna in the 19th century, people’s appetite was satisfied with salsa sauce. Today, Londoners, who have gained the advantages of many families, also appreciate these two delicacies. But no matter in the past or now, the way people learn to eat at the beginning of their growth will change greatly later. Other needs and demands will also undergo the same transformation. In different social and cultural order, people’s ways to meet their needs and demands run through all kinds of life, with different family and professional roles and corresponding goals, aspirations and hopes. As we mentioned earlier, our desires are always closely linked with our emotions, habits and beliefs, which show different forms in different lifestyles. If we want to understand what is the legitimate reason of desire, we must explore the various functions of desire in those lifestyles, which have the characteristics of the social order and cultural order in which we live, and this is the social order and cultural order of modernity. In this quest, we can mainly consider some obvious problems. Opportunities and hopes, security and poverty, regrets and lamentations, aspirations and other issues all show unique modern forms.These problems come from the continuous transformation of work and are the result of the development of economic modernity since the 18th century.

We start with the question of opportunity and hope. The social and cultural order of modernity, no matter what its form, is the result of long-term economic growth and technological innovation. This long-term nature seems to be indefinite, while the growth is sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes continuous, sometimes disrupted, sometimes deliberately shaped, but in more cases it is unplanned. This growth often provides new types of jobs, sometimes provides people with new opportunities to become managers and professionals, and sometimes brings rich returns to those who can dominate others’ work and occupy their surplus labor value, which often makes workers tolerate the slow growth of wages. As a result, a new system has emerged and the old system has been transformed, and perhaps the most obvious result is that schools have become places to train children and teenagers into labor. In these changes, new types of inequality, new forms of class differentiation, new contradictions and struggles, and new goals of desire and ambition have emerged. We only consider three examples of different types of desire subjects. First, workers in the 19th and 20th centuries were generally employed in mills and factories. These workers are realistic. They mainly want to improve their lives and those of their families. They never want to leave the working class. Secondly, the contemporaries who pursued social and economic success (regardless of social background) had skills, imagination and luck, and wanted to go up through the class system to achieve the success recognized locally at that time. Finally, there are contemporary people with money aspirations. They started from some resources and pursued unlimited wealth. The past and present are not satisfied with this statement.

The first kind of stories are about working-class individuals and families, both of which are the political backbone of the trade union movement throughout its history. Such stories often illustrate the necessity of taking collective action. The second kind of stories provide material for novelists and some sociologists, from which we can study the career structure of the bourgeoisie and see the changes of people at all levels of management, such as engineers or lawyers or newcomers in accounting becoming big coffee in this industry. The third kind of stories are sometimes fables of the rich, but they often record cases of habit addiction, which is an addiction to money. These stories all tell the experiences of some individuals, families and groups. Their life motivation comes not only from ambition and hope, but also from fear of frustration and failure, fear of long-term unemployment and poverty, fear of being unable to get rid of the painful work pressure and fear of debt burden.

With these hopes and fears in the macro sense, individuals have formed the forms of love and hate, harmony and hostility, which make their specific desires, tastes, emotions and habits diverse, such as eating this and not eating that, spending time with these people instead of those people, doing things in this way instead of that way, and being willing to stay here instead of there. Only three types of life are mentioned above, but other types of life are also obviously subject to the hopes and fears brought by capitalism and technological modernity. If all these are carefully studied, we need to describe people’s living situations in large quantities, explain how the subject makes choices in specific situations at each stage of his life, and how to weigh the various objects of desire, that is, regard the satisfaction of some desires only as a means to satisfy others, think that some desires have a high priority compared with others, and may painfully or happily re-examine some of his past choices. If these subjects can reflect on how to best balance their desires and lives, what intellectual, moral and social resources do they have?

In fact, they always lack some urgently needed resources, partly because their thought patterns reflect the characteristics of their living situation and partly because of the constraints of their living situation. Let’s talk about the latter first. The common point of their living situation is that they have changed in different degrees due to the influence of capital flow. At first, capital flow may be creative and productive, or destructive, or both. When capital flow can promote the development and application of new technologies, its role is obviously creative and productive, which will lead to new forms of work, such as iron and steel smelting industry in 18th century, German chemical industry in 19th century, or American information technology industry in 20th century. Capital flow is also very destructive. For example, people in a very mature and stable production mode find that their products have no market, so they suddenly and unexpectedly lose their jobs, have no source of life, and sometimes cut off the way out of their whole lives. However, no matter what people’s living conditions are, the key problem of individuals and their families’ desires lies in the relationship between the salary income they earn and the prices of goods and services they pay. People can’t just think about "what I or we want" or "what I or we should get", but what I or we can afford.

When answering the latter question, people need to constantly evaluate the object of their desire and compare its market value, because the market will change according to the demand. But demand is to satisfy any desire that may exist, and it is the need of self-recognition when people happen to have enough money in their pockets at a certain time and place, whether these needs are real needs or not, and whether these desires are the desires that the subject should satisfy. Economic growth requires people who are engaged in productive work to become consumers. In this way, people who provide goods and services to these consumers shape consumers’ tastes, make their products the object of consumers’ desires, and make consumers feel that anything the economy requires them to consume is their own needs. Therefore, these producers and consumers must be able to distinguish between what is of real value to their lives and prosperity and what is the value induced by the market. However, the market society makes it difficult for working-class and middle-class people to think and negotiate together, which is necessary for them to make the above distinction in their daily decision-making. Why do you see it?

To answer this question, we first need to study the conflicts that have occurred in a long and tangled history, in which there are many obstacles, but as a result, they have promoted economic growth or provided the market with necessities of life. From the protection of traditional rights in the British enclosure movement in the 17th and 18th centuries, to the hand-loom workers’ opposition to the use of mechanized looms to maintain their survival, to the radical trade unions’ actions to demand higher wages and better working conditions, and to the protests of urban community organizations and organizers in Chicago and Boston in the 20th century. Many things in this history should have left a deep impression on us. One of them is that people trapped in this kind of conflict can easily express clearly what they oppose rather than support, and can find all kinds of unjust things sharply and accurately, but they can’t clearly explain the influence and function of these unjust things on the correct understanding of the concept of justice. Therefore, in the face of this constructive and destructive change of modernity, ordinary people trapped in this conflict can rarely think and find an appropriate alternative concept about the direction that social and economic changes should take for themselves, so that they can more fully evaluate the ideas that various political movements have firmly believed since the 18th century.

The problem here is that modernity is used to expressing itself in its own terms, which makes it extremely difficult for people to think about modernity without these terms, so they never leave these terms, and these terms exclude the most needed concepts in radical criticism, making them useless. Therefore, we need to explain the distinctive institutionalized activity patterns and thinking habits in those activity patterns, which enables us to answer two different questions, one is about the specific form and deformation of desire in the context of modernity, and the other is about the way of thinking about our activities and life, which is quite different from modernity, but it is an indispensable element to understand modernity. But before trying to make this explanation, I’d like to make a cautious remark, especially for readers who resent my negative views on modernity.

As far as it has experienced a series of social and political freedom and liberation movements against autocracy and oppression, the history of modernity is indeed a real and admirable history of progress in some key aspects. As far as its great artistic and scientific achievements are concerned-from Raphael to Roscoe, or from Palestrina to Schoenberg, and from Copernicus and Galileo to Feynman and Higgs-the history of modernity is indeed a real and admirable history of progress. What I have said here and elsewhere is not meant to slander. However, this same modernity constantly produces new forms of oppressive inequality, new types of material poverty and spiritual poverty, new setbacks and new misleading of desire. There are many very different stories about modernity, all of which are true, but they all need a unique political and economic framework as the premise.
