The failure of the "biggest fried rice" has taught the parties a lesson and warned others that no matter what activities they engage in, creativity comes first and economy comes first, which can avoid unnecessary waste.
The Guinness World Records official told reporters on the 26th that the record of "the biggest fried rice" held in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province on the 23rd was invalid because of food waste. Yang Lina, Marketing Director of Guinness World Records Greater China, also said that Guinness World Records does not accept any immoral records.
"Yangzhou fried rice" has been making a lot of noise recently. First, I set the standard of fried rice to win the public's attention, and then I challenged the Guinness Book of Records, intending to add another firewood and light a fire. Unfortunately, it was self-defeating, but the fire burned his eyebrows in vain and damaged the local reputation, which was really not worth the candle.
The reason why this move caused public outrage, as Yang Lina said, was "immoral" in the first place. Waste of food has nothing to do with wealth, but with morality. Don't think that if you get rich and can afford to waste, you can squander everything. You should know that every grain of food and every piece of meat wasted for no reason is hard-won, so you should feel guilty. What's more, there are more than 70 million poor people in rural areas all over the country, and in some rural areas in the west, there are still poor people who can only eat three meals a year. Considering the reality, the public's criticism of the biggest fried rice is not pan-moralization.
The second is boredom. I once read an ironic cartoon: a man went to the patent office and claimed that he had invented a lighter, which would not expand after hitting100000. In the picture, he is carrying a huge gas cylinder with a "patent lighter" connected to it. The biggest sofa, the biggest leather shoes, the biggest hot pot, the biggest steamed stuffed bun and the biggest pie in the world, aren't those Guinness records all created by sheer quantity and volume? You use 4 192kg to set the record of "the biggest fried rice", and others can also use 5 192kg to break it, as long as the purse is full and boring. This kind of "world record" with no technical content is a boring game prepared by boring people for boring people, and it is strange that it is not submerged by the public.
The third is the official. Part of the public's indignation comes from wasting food and part from the organizers. If the biggest fried rice is a purely commercial activity, commercial organizations waste money and food for a job, although the public does not like it, it is not convenient to criticize it too much. However, in the event list, the local tourism bureau is impressively listed. Even if market-oriented operation is adopted, the absurdity of serious food waste behavior does not conform to the role orientation and value proposition of the administrative department. No matter how good the organizer's motivation is, the grand narrative can't cover up the impetuous style and distorted view of political achievements. Extravagance and waste is one of the "four winds", and it is still inappropriate to correct the "four winds" and oppose extravagance and waste nationwide. What is even more regrettable is that in the "show", various departments and institutions compete with each other, and sponsorship is in name only; After the scandal was exposed, the units that had been rushing to appear in the camera began to shrink their heads, as if they had nothing to do with themselves. In fact, if it is strictly investigated, these decision makers will not only apologize, but may also be held accountable.
The failure of the "biggest fried rice" has taught the parties a lesson and warned others that no matter what activities they engage in, creativity comes first and economy comes first, which can avoid unnecessary waste.
Bai Juyi's Poems on Waste of Food;
Tube cutting wheat
In May, people are twice as busy as at home. At night, with the south wind, the wheat turns yellow. The mother-in-law is full, and the baby is carrying the pot pulp. When I went to other places with her, Ding Zhuang was in Nangang. She was rustic and hot, but her back was scalding. She didn't know it was hot, but she regretted the long summer. There is a poor woman next to her. Her right hand grabbed her ear and her left arm hung a basket. Listen.
