Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 29 (Xinhua) -- On December 29, Xinhua Daily Telegraph published a report entitled ""Grabbing": The feeling of diving pan head is "twice better".
In the past year, Tianjin, a city with its own "humorous temperament", has been repeatedly searched. This year, the optimism of Haihe's sons and daughters, who always "grasp" in life, no matter the ups and downs, has been seen by more people.
From the fact that Tianjin Uncle diving is all the rage, and Pantou's aunt is out of the "Tianjin circle", celebrities and tourists come to experience the characteristics of "Yidu", to the grandparents in the "Yidu Nursing Home" use a short ** to show young people what it means to be "sober in the world", and the number of fans has increased by 800,000 ...... in just a few monthsThe people of "Yidu" are using their own unique culture to highlight the character of the city.
The famous writer Feng Jicai, who grew up in Tianjin, wrote "Strange People in the World", which is a window for many Chinese to know the various capable people of Tianjin Wei;Nowadays, the new "strange people of the world" here are showing a new style and giving new connotations to the city.
On August 29, on the Haihe River in Tianjin, an "uncle" jumped into the water from the Lion Forest Bridge. Photo by Xinhua Daily Telegraph reporter Sun Fanyue "Our aunts are all very good".
On the day of the interview with Aunt Pantou, "Yidu" ushered in the first snow of this winter.
The Internet celebrity check-in point "Sister Zhu Hairdressing" is opened in Chenglin, Hedong District, and in the snow and fog, the small face is not easy to find. The reporter stopped a passer-by and asked, "It's hard to find the bends in this piece of song, but our old neighbors know it, I'll take you there!."This is a thirty or forty-year-old, typical "Tianjin sister (pronounced 'enchantment' in dialect)" learned that the reporter did not come to Pantou, but asked Sister Zhu to do an interview, her tone became brisk again, "Our Tianjin Pantou aunt is on fire, I will ask a few years ago, and I will also bring our children to Pantou, what a child!."She sent the reporter to the door of "Sister Zhu's Hairdressing" and said goodbye with a smile.
Sister Zhu's name is Zhu Fengmin, 54 years old this year, and she has been a pantou for more than 30 years. Her hairdresser still has an old-school style — the first floor of a residential building, small sliding doors, dark red chairs, colorful curling irons, whirring hair dryers, ......Sister Zhu's hearty laughter baked the shop steaming.
She opens on time at 8 o'clock every morning, and the reporter enters the door at 8:20, and the first guest, Aunt Xu, has been there for a while. Sister Zhu beckoned the reporter to sit down, and at the same time gave Aunt Xu a "hair curl", and the work in her hand did not stop for a moment.
If there is something, you can't delay the guests", is the principle that Sister Zhu has always adhered to. A few days ago, ** asked her to record a variety show on the spot, and Sister Zhu flipped through the reservation book in the store and found that several recording times were full, so she politely declined the invitation. Sister Zhu values the guests, and the customers are also very "affectionate", some aunts have "followed Sister Zhu for 30 years", and when it comes to the day of the plate, even if the road is far away, you have to come to Sister Zhu by taxi.
In 2023, Aunt Pantou in Tianjin suddenly became popular. In the past, the regular customers of the small shop were mainly "aunts", but now there are many new faces of "all ages". There are celebrity Internet celebrities who come from all over the world to experience, holding the first pole to broadcast the whole live pantou;There are also tourists out of curiosity to enter the store to feel the "Tianjin characteristics";There are also local young people who have a heart to try it out, and re-examine this hairstyle that I felt a bit "earthy" in the past.
A few days ago, an American girl came to pan her head. "This American girl whose name Sister Zhu can't remember is called Xingyue, she is an Internet celebrity blogger, and Sister Zhu designed her a high-pan hair with a mermaid tail shape - her ** received 97 at station b40,000 hits and more than 7,800 barrages.
But Sister Zhu is not sensitive to traffic. The reporter asked her: "Do you know when you became popular?"She smiled and shook her head. She only knew that the reservation book in the store was getting fuller and fuller, and the old customers had to rush to the snowy day and get up early in the morning to "come to the top door", for fear that they would be late and queue up for a long time.
But she can clearly remember the "senior aunts" who came to her every year, are familiar with their aesthetic preferences and personality experiences, and remember which "sister" should come these two days without looking at the appointment book.
The "shelf life" of Tianjin Pantou is generally 7 days, and rushing, squeezing cars, working, and sleeping will not affect the hairstyle, so many old customers come to "maintain" once a week. Year after year, week after week, Sister Zhu and the guests have already become family.
Our aunts are all very good and enthusiastic!Sister Zhu is very proud of the regular customers in the store, and when she talks about the jokes on the Internet about "don't mess with Aunt Pantou in Tianjin", she also wants to "correct the name" of her sisters - the hair that is coiled up high is not a symbol of "not easy to mess with", but the spirit of the aunts who will not fall down and be undefeated for a lifetime.
In the era when the "old sister" was only the "sister", this old industrial city at the bottom of the Jiuhe River had suffered the pains brought about by the market-oriented change, but the ups and downs of the situation and the triviality of life have not worn out the optimism and pursuit of beauty in their hearts.
As soon as the hair is coiled, the spirit is up, at least 10 years younger!"Aunt Xu's name is Xu Keping, and she is 68 years old. Before retiring, she wrapped wire wraps for motors in the factory. She said that she has two hobbies in her life: one is "beauty";The second is to be a good sportsman, can play volleyball, and prefers to watch volleyball. She always has no time to be free when she goes to work, and now that she is retired, her wife accompanies her to watch football all over the country. She also "chases stars" like a young person, and likes the main attacker Li Yingying the most. As a well-known Pantou aunt in the Tianjin women's volleyball cheerleading team, Aunt Xu said with a little pride: "Wherever I go, someone looks for me to take a group photo, saying that Tianjin Pantou Aunt is here!."”
Talking and laughing, the number of customers in the small shop gradually increased.
I'm going to have to get an umbrella from you when I'm done with my hair!"Aunt Ma hasn't entered the door yet, so let's borrow an umbrella from Sister Zhu first. "The umbrella is there!Sister Zhu greeted her family members and asked Aunt Ma to hurry into the house to warm up. Aunt Ma is older than Aunt Xu, she worked in sales in the company before retirement, she has been in Sister Zhu's store for more than 20 years, and she is one of the regular customers who "come in seven days, rain or shine".
Aunt Ge then pushed the door open. A few days ago, she had a severe cold and hadn't gone downstairs for a month, and after that, she came to Sister Zhu at the first stop. Aunt Ge took out her mobile phone and flipped through **, and she had retro-style hair, cheongsam, and nail art on the screen, which was radiant. "If I don't do my hair and makeup, I really don't want to meet people!”
Out of trust, when they are most "reluctant to see people", the aunts will be the first to think of Sister Zhu. Sister Zhu has seen many old customers look the most "embarrassed". "There is an old sister who is over 70 years old, and she had heart stent surgery a few days ago, and she didn't even return home when she was discharged from the hospital. ”
There is a word in the Tianjin dialect called "to be good", which is to pursue the beauty in life. Sister Zhu thinks that the aunts are "going to be good" - there are always peaks and valleys in their lives, and even if they are "put on the battlefield", they can make a shining debut on the stage of life.
Sister Zhu's hometown is in Shandong, and she came to Tianjin more than 30 years ago to make a living and learned the craft of hairdressing. The ** issued in the store has risen from 3 yuan to 35 yuan for many years, and then to the recent fifty or sixty yuan, which is not expensive. A "top version" with "flashing lantern sequins" is less than 200 yuan. Although she doesn't earn much, she eats with her skills and helps her sisters to "love beauty" and "be good", which makes Sister Zhu feel a sense of accomplishment.
In the past two years, she began to learn from the appearance of young people, and took pictures of Pantou works and posted them on the Internet. Later, he started a live broadcast, promoting the small store and bringing some goods, and Aunt Xu and Aunt Ma's customers were all in the live broadcast. Unexpectedly, this year suddenly became popular, and Sister Zhu unintentionally caught the traffic. "Some netizens asked me, Aunt Xu, are they the professional models you invited?Sister Zhu couldn't help laughing, "Where do I have the time to invite a model!."”
At 9 o'clock, Sister Zhu skillfully set up her mobile phone and started the broadcast on time. While she said "live broadcast terminology" fluently, she was sending a hair for Aunt Ma, and she had to look at the flying barrage from time to time, and quickly replied to two sentences. Some netizens asked for the address of the shop, saying that they were going to take a plane from Jiangsu to experience it. Sister Zhu hurriedly shouted with a smile: "If you want to say that you come to Tianjin to travel, it's okay to come by the way, but you can't come here deliberately, the cost is too high." In a word, the customers in the store were happy.
In the face of netizens' negative comments of "your design is not good-looking" and "not earthy", Sister Zhu can easily bring it with a joke or two. There is only one type of comment that will make her "break the defense", and that is to disrespect the bad words of the aunts. She will defend her guests in a gentle tone and seriously. Compared with Sister Zhu, the aunts are much calmer about the "bad reviews" flying on the screen. "We can get it if we like it, I don't care what others say. Aunt Xu said.
The beauty salon industry is constantly iterating, and before the Pantou aunt became popular, the key word belonging to this hairstyle was "soil", but the aunts understood the preciousness of this towering and close to the ground. This hairstyle is solid and affordable: you don't need expensive potions, the work is done on the barber's hands, as long as the hairspray is enough, you are not afraid of wind and rain during the shelf life, and you can add beads, sequins, glitter and ...... as you likeThe hair is coiled, and Aunt Ma also spent 10 yuan to buy a lotus lotus-colored butterfly hairpin, Sister Zhu wants to give it to the old customer, but Aunt Ma doesn't do it, "one yard to one yard". How much money to do how much, with a not high ** in exchange for the highest state, this is the philosophy of life that Tianjin Pantou aunts believe. Even though their youth has passed, they can still find beauty and recognition here, speak their hearts, and get sincere responses from each other.
During this year's Chung Yeung Festival, an e-commerce platform invited Sister Zhu to compile a set of pantou tutorials. She promised very happily, did not regard the craft as a "secret that is not passed on", and was willing to let more people "go out with a colorful head" and face life day after day with high spirits.
Survive for one minute, be happy for sixty seconds".
Recognize!Old scythe, survive for a minute, be happy for 60 seconds!"I heard that the reporter was going to interview the diving uncle next, Sister Zhu and Aunt Xu were very excited. In "Yidu", it is difficult to find two "strangers" in the pure sense, the old Tianjin people call women sisters and aunts, and men are called uncles (pronounced "breaking" in dialects) and uncles ......It seems that they are both children of Haihe, even if they are related to each other.
Haihe River, the mother river of Tianjin. It brings not only vitality and intimacy to Tianjin, but also unique bridges. The Lion Forest Bridge was built in 1954 and was known in the past, mostly because of the different forms of copper lions on the bridge. But in 2023, it is well-known because of the "Tianjin Diving Uncle".
In the summer and autumn of this year, the grandfathers jumped into the Haihe River from the Lion Forest Bridge as usual, and the splashes were as usual. But this time, these unprofessional splashes splashed on the Internet, forming waves of ripples. For a time, "Tianjin Diving Uncle" became popular all over the Internet, and it was so popular that the Lion Forest Bridge was jokingly called a "6A-level attraction" by netizens, and later "upgraded" to "8A-level". Some people joked that "100 million people come to Tianjin every day", and even Tianjin locals can't squeeze in if they want to see the heroic appearance of the grandfathers.
Subsequently, a "diving boom" of "questioning the uncle, understanding the uncle, and becoming the uncle" spread from online to offline, and many diving enthusiasts, tourists, Internet celebrities, and even former professional athletes came to the Lion Forest Bridge to "pay tribute".
The first to catch fire was Meizi, who said on the bridge in August, 'I'm not an uncle, I'm an uncle!''That ** exploded as soon as it came out. Then there is the old sickle, after shouting 'happy sixty seconds', this lion forest bridge will be out of the circle!It was Wang Jinzhou who spoke, with the screen name "Brother Mu Yuqiu", and those who watched the short ** of "Uncle Diving" this summer should be familiar with these four words.
The post-60s generation of Tianjin natives likes the culture and history of Tianjin, and likes to record Tianjin's folk literary and artistic and sports activities with the camera, and the small life of ordinary people. On Douyin, his self-introduction is very straightforward, and there are no fancy special effects, just pat the children of Haihe who are diving and winter swimming, wrestling and fitness, singing and dancing, but he has 190,000 followers, a total of 45 likes10,000 times.
This faithful recorder is also the "gold medal contact" of uncles and uncles. In the early autumn of this year, for safety reasons, on September 6, the Tianjin Lion Forest Bridge Diving Team announced its withdrawal from the Lion Forest Bridge Diving and issued a proposal of "full of relish and with its own voice". The "stars" on the jumping platform each returned to ordinary life. 3 months have passed, and it is not easy to find them again, and contacting "Brother Qiu" can be regarded as a "shortcut". Some people think that Wang Jinzhou is an Internet celebrity agent, but in fact he is a retired chemical engineer, but he "plays children to swim in the Haihe River, that is, he has feelings for this land and these people, and we don't want to".
Under the recommendation of "Brother Qiu", we met those "familiar faces" who had previously swiped the screen on the Internet-
Uncle Meizi's real name is Mei Lijiang, he has glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he smiles when he speaks, and his smile is shy. "Brother Qiu" said that he was an Internet celebrity, and he shook his head happily. "My ** account now has a total of 5,000 followers, and it is still dropping one or two hundred times a day. But he didn't care, "I don't make money from it."
In the Lion Forest Bridge diving team, 52-year-old Mei Lijiang is a young man, but he has more than 30 years of "jumping age". He likes to dive, and as soon as he jumps from the bridge into the water, he feels very happy, "in order to strengthen his body and be happy!"For the sentence "I'm not an uncle, I'm an uncle" that netizens like, he is still very happy, because he "spread the happiness", and he also "held" his hometown on the hot search.
Since the team sent out the "stop jumping" proposal, "Uncle Meizi" kept his promise and didn't go into the water for a few months. He was afraid that the reporter would not have enough material, so he offered to "recreate the scene", "You can't jump on the bridge, I'll jump one for you from this river!."The reporter explained several times, that is, to ask him to talk about the story of "Lion Forest Bridge Diving", no need to really jump, so he gave up. On the day of the meeting, a commercial organization came to shoot, the machine was set up, and the staff ran to him and said, "You jump one now, and we will give you 500 yuan." The good-natured "Uncle Meizi" was a little unhappy: "500 yuan?."If you give me 50,000, I won't jump!He and Wang Jinzhou both felt that they were underestimating the pattern of Tianjin divers and winter swimmers, and underestimating the positive energy of Haihe's children.
Happy", "Fun", "Fun", "Everywhere is a Fun" ......In the more than half an hour of chatting with "Old Scythe" Su Changhai, "music" was the keyword with the highest frequency.
Su Changhai is 74 years old. Wearing bright swimming trunks, he shouted "survive for one minute, be happy for 60 seconds" in a high-pitched authentic Tianjin dialect that almost broke the sound, and then plunged into the water with a "fixed action" bent into a sickle under the "encirclement" of many mobile phone lenses - this scene this summer has become the "famous scene of the year" of the "Tianjin diving master". And this is actually his "reserved program" for more than 20 years.
I've been diving with the Lion Forest Bridge for a long time. Before jumping, let's have a multilingual announcement, which is particularly fun. Later, I changed the poem written by someone else, 'Life is precious, love is more valuable.' Survive for one minute, be happy for sixty seconds".Before each dive, he recited these four sentences aloud, and later even the first two sentences were omitted. "Hit the wind and plunge into the water, and forget all your troubles. ”
After September this year, Su Changhai rarely went to the Lion Forest Bridge. He still remembers that the police came to him to do work, and he was not in a hurry or annoyed, and his mouth was: "Uncle, you love us!".You are old and good, but don't you look dangerous to follow the trend?Su Changhai said that he listened to the "strange and unbearable" in his heart, and then thought of the lifeboats and ambulances that were assembled under the bridge in order to deal with emergencies, and decided to respond to the initiative and change places. The relevant departments of Tianjin arranged a professional diving hall for the masters, and the TV station came to interview Su Changhai, who drew a familiar arc on the jumping platform, and also asked fans to rest assured that he had found a place where he could be "happy for 60 seconds" again.
From the summer to the present, many ** have reported Su Changhai's 74-year life experience: born in Tianjin, good water nature, he learned gymnastics in junior high school in school, because his arms and legs are soft, and he always learns faster than others when he splits his lower waist. Later, a child's skill was temporarily abandoned because he went to the countryside to Inner Mongolia. On the grassland, he learned Mongolian, wrestled at a "semi-professional" level, and met his later wife. When the two returned to Tianjin, he pedaled three wheels to support his family and pulled a pair of children to grow up. Because of cancer, his wife left, and Su Changhai was unwilling to stay at home for a long time. It was diving ** him, jumping, talking, laughing, and he became an "Internet celebrity", and he retreated from the cusp of traffic ......People tasted a different taste from the bright smile of the "old sickle".
Someone else said to me, Chang Hai'er, how hard you have been in this life!Su Changhai paused, smiled and asked the reporter, "Why don't I feel bitter, how do I think I'm having a good time?"”
In November, the water temperature in the indoor venue also came down, and he no longer went diving, but took over the "olive branch" from the Xigu old naughty gymnastics team, every week.
Second, fourth, and sixth went to Xigu Park to exercise with the team members with their own unique skills. "I'm going to split a fork too, but we're having fun!."When you arrive, liven up the atmosphere for everyone!"In a different project, he is still the same sincere and enthusiastic. "I trained my body to be strong, and I lived one day and lived happily for this day. ”
The optimism of the capital is precipitated from generation to generation."
Any advice for young people?I advise against giving advice to young people. "Don't tan sweet, don't tan successfully, the common sense of physics tells us that we will always lose moisture when we dried." These "golden sentences" that have been spread over and over again come from the old people in the "Yidu Nursing Home" that will become popular in 2023.
They can empathize with the anxiety and predicament of young people, and never shy away from the topic of aging and death, and demonstrate what is "sobriety in the world" for young people with optimism and transparency, and also let young people have a new understanding of nursing homes. Many netizens who were poked in their hearts shouted: "These lovely grandparents have cured my anxiety for more than 20 years." ”
* One of the leading actors is Chen Weizhen, who is nearly 80 years old. Because he looks like Carl Frederickson in "The Flying House", he is affectionately called "Grandpa Carl" by netizens. His grandson, Chen Zhuo, the creator of the "post-90s" short **, is the "booster" of this group of grandparents to "break the circle".
Grandpa Carl "used to be a bus driver who was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and was put on critical illness twice. A few years ago, he chose to live in a nursing home.
Chen Zhuo went to work in Guangzhou as soon as he graduated from university, and he saw his grandfather only a handful of times a year. In March this year, he quit his job and returned to Tianjin, "I still have a lot of time to experience the world in the future, but now I want to spend time with the elderly."
Because he often visited his grandfather, Chen Zhuo found that he was very comfortable in contact with the grandparents in the nursing home, so he began to shoot, edit**, record their later life, and post it on the short** platform. Unexpectedly, a few months after ** was issued, "Grandpa Carl" became popular, and some netizens began to urge changes under the account every day.
The life of the elderly here is very simple, sometimes it is very much like a kindergarten, eating and sleeping on time. Although life is well secured, there is a lack of spiritual comfort. Chen Zhuo said, ** is getting more and more popular, the filming process is getting smoother and smoother, and the mental outlook of the old people has also begun to change. "It's changes like this that spark my interest and become the driving force for my continued creation. ”
Mr. Yu is now over 90 years old, playing the role of the chemistry teacher of the old people in **, often creating a little "magic experiment accident", confused and sober, amiable and cute. "Because her best state was when she became a teacher 30 years ago, I asked her to play her old self. Chen Zhuo said.
Grandpa Bob" is 63 years old. When he was in his 40s, he was paralyzed due to diabetes, and his psychological gap was very large, so he started smoking, and he could smoke 4 packs a day. "When we started filming short **, he was very shy, and after about 3 months of filming, we designed a plot: 'Teacher Yu' held a notebook, which recorded the name and ** of the old man, and when the old man died, he crossed out the name, like 'life and death book'. Grandpa Bob saw the script and said that he wanted to add a sentence to himself, 'I'm going to tear up the book of life and death, and I'm in charge of my fate'. As a 'post-90s' who grew up watching "Journey to the West", I deeply understand Bob's ......Since then, I have noticed that he has changed two things, one is that he smokes significantly less, and the other is that he has become a 'foodie'. Chen Zhuo said.
The foreign name of "Grandpa Bob" was taken by Liu Yishan when he came to the nursing home to make a match with the old people. This "post-90s" Tianjin girl who grew up in Sydney returned to "Dudu" at the age of 12. She has worked as an English teacher in a training institution, and she can seamlessly switch between authentic Tianjin dialect and standard English pronunciation, because of the magical contrast of "pancakes and fruits are coffee", she has become an Internet celebrity short ** blogger, and hundreds of thousands of fans call her "leg teacher".
*, "Leg Teacher" gives English to "students", and the word he speaks is "double better". Grandparents didn't know each other, and she "criticized" the students for not preparing for the study, and had to "sue the parents". Dozens of seconds of **, the shooting time is not short, but the "little teacher" and "old classmates" are very happy. Liu Yishan said that the real and natural optimism of the old Tianjin people is very contagious, "I quite want them to be popular, and I am quite willing to be popular in Tianjin."
Chen Zhuo, who also grew up in Tianjin, has similar feelings, and he feels that the optimistic spirit of "Yidu" has been precipitated from generation to generation. From the old people, he saw a kind of wisdom of "letting go". "I can let go of complaining about my illness and make fun of myself;He can even let go of the fear of death and joke about life and death. Chen Zhuo said, "With the vitality of young people and new means, let the old people find value from their new roles and help them open up a world." We also 'see each other', I see my future self in them, and they probably see their younger selves in me."
