Get Your Food Online

Open an app, place your order, and wait for your food to be delivered (遞送) to your home - this is how many people eat in China these days. According to the latest data (數(shù)據(jù)) from the China Internet Network Information Center, 421 million Chinese people use online food delivery services. That's equal to half of the total number of internet users in China.

Which group of people is ordering food online the most? Unsurprisingly, it's mainly young people. A recent report that was jointly (聯(lián)合) published by the China Hospitality Association and Meituan, a food delivery service, showed that 86.3 percent of the service's users are between 20 and 34 years old. These people, who are more likely to live in small families, are the major force driving the development of the food delivery industry (行業(yè)).

Small families depend greatly on food delivery services. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Chinese families have changed in size over the past decade. In 2002, only 7.7 percent of families were single-person households. But this number increased to 15.6 percent in 2017. The percentage of two-person families rose from 18.4 in 2002 to 27.2 in 2017. For small families, cooking is relatively (相對(duì)) more time- and resource-consuming (耗時(shí)耗材), so ordering food online has become more popular.

The improvement of China's food delivery services has also attracted more customers. According to Meituan's report, the average time it takes to make a food delivery dropped from 38 minutes in 2016 to 29 minutes in 2019. Many delivery platforms are also offering more services, delivering products such as fruit, vegetables, medicine and flowers. As its services continue to improve, it's likely that the food delivery industry will keep growing.

Coco(《尋夢(mèng)環(huán)游記》), Disney’ s latest cartoon movie, did a successful job in showing the afterlife and people’s memories(記憶) of their dead family members.

The movie comes from the Mexican(墨西哥) holiday of Dia de los Muertos(亡靈節(jié)). The young boy Miguel loves music so much. However, his family all say NO to his musical dream. That really lets him down, so he runs away from home. On Dia de los Muertos, he goes to the “Land of the Dead” by accident(偶然). There, Miguel meets his dead family members and has an adventure(冒險(xiǎn)). Only after the experience does he know how much his family love him.

In the movie, the “Land of Dead” is not a scary place. There are friendly skeletons(骷髏). On Dia de los Muertos, they can cross a bridge of flowers to “visit” their living family members. As long as their family put their photos on a family shrine(神龕), they can do this every year. If not, their spirits(靈魂) will disappear into the air.

The movie sends a clear and warm message about the importance of family. Family is at the center of Mexican culture. On Dia de los Muertos, people in Mexico share food and drinks to remember their ancestors(祖先), just like the people in the movie. The movie teaches kids to keep and respect(尊重) the memory of their elders.
