The People's Literature Publishing House has printed a New Year gift box with special meaning for everyone in 2021, called "Five Blessings to Welcome the Spring? Humanities New Year Gifts 2021". However, some attentive netizens who received the gift found that the gift box mixed up blessings and misfortunes, and questioned whether this could be used as a Spring Festival gift. ?
This feedback attracted the People’s Literature Publishing House to attach great importance to it, and it immediately corrected the error and apologized. The content of the apology roughly covers the following:
1. The wrong version of the "Five Blessings to Welcome the Spring Festival? Humanity New Year Gifts 2021" gift box has been removed from the shelves across the board. Those that have not yet been shipped will be replaced as soon as possible and the new version will be used. Shipping.
2. Users who have received the wrong version can apply for a refund on the original purchase platform. The wrong gift box does not need to be returned, but can be processed by yourself.
3. Users who do not choose a refund can receive the Qigongfu character and a notebook from People's Literature Publishing House for free.
4. After-sales service will not be affected by the Spring Festival and will remain open during the holidays. You can apply for a refund or reissue at any time.
Once such an apology came out, everyone saw the sincerity of People's Literature Publishing House. It is understood that this time the "Five Blessings to Welcome the Spring? Humanistic New Year Rites 2021" includes the "Qigong Five Blessings", which are the five "Blessings" selected from the "Qigong Calligraphy Vocabulary". However, because of not knowing much about calligraphy, the problem There was a word mistake in it, which was "disaster", which is why such an oolong incident happened. In this regard, the People's Literature Publishing House also expressed a great apology and hoped that all users can understand. At the same time, it said that it will be more careful in the follow-up work and publishing, check and confirm clearly before facing the readers, so as not to attract inappropriate comments. Necessarily controversial and misleading.
Many netizens have commented that this is really a blessing in disguise. Indeed, problems with publications, especially blessings with beautiful meanings, will appear slightly inappropriate. But as the old saying goes, "Misfortune lies on the back of good fortune, and good fortune lies on the back of misfortune." Fortune and misfortune are complementary and dependent on each other. Rather than being a mistake, it is better to say that it is a coincidence that reveals the essence of life. Wherever things can go smoothly and are all blessings, there are bound to be disasters hidden in them, reminding everyone all the time that blessings are rare. I think this is also a kind interpretation.
The printing error of People’s Literature Publishing House also caused great losses to partners and distributors. No one wants to cause big losses, and we hope everyone can understand such "mistakes".
There is no end to learning, and Chinese culture is vast and profound and does not allow us to be careless. The same goes for doing things. I hope that the Humanities Society can learn from this lesson, and that the wrong version of the gift box can also leave some food for thought for readers.
