Heilongjiang Net News (Reporter Wang Zhongyan) This winter, ice and snow tourism in Northeast China continues to be popular, and the Oroqen people wearing roe deer horn hats are popular on the ** street in Harbin, which also makes the Oroqen, an ethnic minority with less than 10,000 people in the country, stand in the spotlight.
Oroqen means "man on the mountain". In Tahe County, Heilongjiang Province, "China's northernmost border county", located in the northern slope of the Great Xing'an Mountains and the lower reaches of the Huma River, more than 500 Oroqen people live in the Oroqen ethnic group. The Spring Festival is approaching, and the Oroqen people buy all kinds of novelty New Year's goods online through the community e-commerce method of "online ordering, New Year's goods will be delivered tomorrow", living a modern life like a big city, and making the days more prosperous.
From safari to online shopping, the lifestyle has changed "in a thousand years".
High in the Xing'an Mountains, a large forest, the forest lives the brave Oroqen ......This song "Oroqen Song" tells the life of the Oroqen people in the hunting era. More than 70 years ago, the Oroqen people went out of the mountains to bid farewell to safaris and start a settled life.
On the twenty-first day of the lunar month, the New Year is approaching, and Wei Yi, an old man of the Oroqen tribe, went to the village commissary to pick up a large bag of green onions and used it to make dumplings for the New Year, which she bought through the community e-commerce the day before. She said that it was difficult to buy fresh vegetables in winter before, but now the village has opened a community e-commerce pick-up point, which is much more convenient to buy vegetables, fruits, and New Year's goods.

The eighteen-station township where the old man Wei Yi lives is home to more than 500 Oroqen people. "When I was a child, in the mountains and forests, I had to go up the mountain to chop firewood for heating, and after moving down and settling down, now we are collectively heating. The old man Wei Yi said that after going down the mountain, they lived in the first construction of the E village, lived in a house, had food and clothing, and embarked on the road of happiness. The Chinese New Year is coming, the variety of New Year's goods is more abundant, and the way is more convenient, and she looks forward to a happy and peaceful Spring Festival.
In the past, I often heard the older generation say that our ancestors hunted in the depths of the mountains and forests of the Xing'an Mountains, drinking spring water in summer and only melting snow water in winter. Yao Dan of the E-ethnic village said that now, the Oroqen people have completely bid farewell to the hunting era, and young people are accustomed to buying various drinks through community e-commerce. The Spring Festival is coming soon, Yao Dan placed an order and bought a few bouquets of flowers, intending to use them to decorate the lively reunion festival.

Fan Yujuan, the manager of the community e-commerce store in Ezu Village, took out the flowers purchased by Yao Dan and was busy sorting all kinds of fruits, and more than 400 pieces of New Year's goods were delivered here every day in this small shop of less than 50 square meters. Fan Yujuan said that in the past, the only fruits eaten during the Chinese New Year were apples and frozen pears, but now cherries, dragon fruits, durians, etc. from the south have come to the Ezu village.
According to the customs of our Northeast, I like to string relatives during the New Year, and I have bought more gift boxes recently. Fan Yujuan introduced that recently, such as fruits, milk, drinks and other New Year's gift boxes, the villagers have moved home in whole boxes.
The neat and clean villages, spacious and bright new homes, and the same shopping consumption as the big cities have become a true portrayal of the Oroqen people's "leaping into a thousand years" and entering a happy picture.
The driver sent New Year's goods in minus 40 weather to witness the new life of the Oroqen people
Tahe, China's northernmost border county, is also the northernmost and coldest area in the Daxinganling Alpine Forbidden Zone, where the ice and snow period is more than 180 days, is a "natural refrigerator".
When it is the coldest in winter, it can reach minus forty or fifty degrees, and when you go out, your clothes are frozen and hard, and it doesn't work to put on a warm sticker. Chen Zhiyu is the person in charge of the Meituan Preferred Grid Station in Tahe County, and also serves as a shuttle and delivery driver, responsible for daily deliveries to the 18th Station Township and the Ezu Village.
Before Chen Zhiyu set off to pick up the delivery, he first wore two sets of thermal underwear and two coats. In the trunk of his car, it was full of New Year's goods from the villages along the way, and he was afraid that the cold weather would freeze and spoil the New Year's goods, and the car was also equipped with an incubator covered with a quilt.
The road is long, and the New Year's goods purchased by the Oroqen people need to be transported through "connections". (Photo by Zeyang).
Tahe is the northernmost county in China, which is too far away, and is the first station in China to adopt the 'connection mode' in Meituan's preferred country. Chen Zhiyu introduced that the so-called "connection" means that after the goods are out of the warehouse, they cannot be directly sent to Tahe County, but must be sent from Qiqihar City to the intermediate point Jiagedaqi, and then through the Tahe station "relay", in order to finally arrive at Tahe County. From departure to pick-up, connection, sorting, and then to distribution along the eighteen-station township, until the final return, it is more than 500 kilometers round trip.
In the extremely cold place, splashing water into ice. This kind of romantic scene in the short ** makes Chen Zhiyu's delivery work face many difficulties, such as long distances, complex road conditions, and vehicle breakdowns, which may delay delivery at any time. "The roads are icy almost every day, and the road conditions are very complicated, and it is common for vehicles to stall on the way and tires to slip in the snow. Chen Zhiyu said, but no matter how many difficulties, as long as he can deliver the goods to the 18th Station Township on time every day, so that the Oroqen compatriots can buy their favorite New Year's goods before the year, he is very happy.
In the modern new village where the Oroqen people settled, life has undergone earth-shaking changes. (Photo by Zeyang).
The changes of New Year's goods reflect the happy life of the people. In the E village of "China's northernmost border county", such a remote and extremely cold minority area, rich and diverse, affordable New Year's goods can also achieve "tomorrow's delivery", and the continuous sinking of retail formats has greatly facilitated the lives of small village residents and is also bringing new changes to the rural consumer market.
