So far winter just feels a bit warmer than previous few. Quite pleasant for entire year thus far. Will get colder next two months like others have chimed in.
I agree with advocates of putting on more clothes in lieu. This could be beneficial from an energy conservation standpoint as well. We're in Spring City after all, not Beijing or Shanghai with their mandatory water heaters.
Unless one is a hermit holed up beside e-fireplace all day, best to cover oneself in comfy Uniqlo Heattech Ultra Warm clothing beneath down jackets. Granted questions of frugality can be further debated for shoppers at this pricey Japanese retail store.
Nonetheless, there's a good reason Uniqlo was the overall top seller on 11/11. Their heat retention fabrics are second to none. Current b&m store-wide sale from 12/7-12/11. Perhaps a bigger b&m sale on 12/12. We'll see.
Don't completely disagree with you either. A few thoughts:
- As a notable INSEAD professor once taught: catchy, visceral titles are needed in our short attention spanned, Ctrl+Alt+Del generation. For better or worse.
- All classes of society may seek out wealth, fascinated by glitz & glamour, yet despises the type of wealthy as prototypically portrayed. 矛盾 dual draw.
- Cinderella story explores world of exaggerated superficiality that awaits our protagonist. Satirizing the "crazy rich" may appeal to the mass audience.
- Disparity of the wealthy & poor has no color lines, preexisting across all nationalities/ethnicity. This theme isn't isolated to just Asians. Predominately non-Asians watched the film in North America.
- Box office hit doesn't necessary equate to film quality, nor cinematic enjoyment by Mainland or overseas Chinese....
- whom, with curiosity, came out to support "the first all Asian cast" Hollywood film.
Yesterday was the grand opening of Kunming's most massive shopping center Joy City (大悦城) on Huancheng South Road. The immense size of this department store reminds me of Bangkok's Central World. Dizzy big.
Many restaurants were half-off, including @Jan's coconut chicken hotpot, another Jibulu, and my favorite among all buffets, 上井 (ShangJing)...
上井 is an exquisite Japanese cuisine where you sit-at-table and order from a big menu. Haagen dazs ice creams are also all-you-can-eat. I prefer this place over all 5-star hotel buffets in Kunming. Perhaps like yesterday, lunch & dinner may also cost <150rmb today after 50% off.
Definitely recommend 上井 if you're a fan of Japanese food. They have several chains throughout the city. First 10 patrons every Tuesdays @5pm also enjoy half price.
In comparison, short-term assistance for the poor would be giving them fish, whereas medium-term would be teaching them how to fish by ramping up budgets for their much-needed education & healthcare whatnot. Aforementioned "long-term" would be building them a fishing dock with radar-equipped ships so they could sail to the best fishing spots and eventually sell their catch; a wholesale industry ensues. A three-prong attack would be ideal.
It's why the state and provincial governments are trying to attract foreign investments here by setting up high-tech, infrastructural launchpads in luring human capital. Behemoth data storage centers for Apple's iCould and Tencent's WeChat are also both cementing their presence in Guizhou,
They're borrowing from the playbook of Deng Xiaoping's SEZ reforms. Transforming a rural fishing village prior to 1978, to the global powerhouse that is modern Shenzhen. In this case, promoting Guizhou as targeted, tax-incentivized FDI zone of strategic technology, in hopes of trickle-down spillover growth throughout the province and beyond. Long-term foresight from the lessons of hindsight.
To piggyback Guizhou giveaway post, which has disabled the comments, just last week Guizhou government officials have signed a 50/50 joint venture deal with HyperloopTT to build China's first Hyperloop in the city of Tongren, which is located in eastern Guizhou.
This airless, levitation tube transport system is designed to travel faster than commercial airplanes at top speeds of 1,223 km/h. Both Elon Musk and Richard Branson are racing to be the first to implement their versions of the hyperloop abroad, besides their space race to Mars.
The Hyperloop construction is set to begin next year. Tongren transport & tourism ministries plan to connect to Mt. Fanjing (50 km northwest of Tongren) via this open-source, vacuum transport technology... hopefully linking up with our Yunnan down the line.
Even wistar rats in laboratories can become alcoholics if positive enforcement of sucrose are introduced with gradual increase of ethanol concentration. Reward properties similar to those of 辣得爽/海底捞 invoked in spices may perhaps do the job for these, and possibly other furry patrons.

The 9,000 villagers from the article's last paragraph may disagree with your first paragraph.

发布者Yes, rural poverty in Guizhou is notorious.
