Part 1 "Plastic" Lantern Festival Survival Guide: You Don't Understand the Stubbornness of Overseas Party Members
Who in my family understands! I ordered a bowl of sesame-filled glutinous rice balls at a Chinese restaurant in New York. I almost died of sugar after taking one bite. The sweetness was comparable to the landlord's smile when he was asking for rent. I opened my WeChat Moments and saw that the handmade lanterns posted by my friends in China were more exquisite than my PPT layout. The only red food in my refrigerator was the discounted ketchup I bought last week... (At this time, a handsome guy quietly opened QuickFox and started playing "Selling Tangyuan" on repeat in an attempt to brainwash himself)
Part 2 Three self-help tricks to cure overseas Lantern Festival EMO
1. If your cooking skills are not good enough, technology can help:
I took out my treasured Lao Gan Ma and tried to inject soul into English scones. I almost set off the smoke alarm when I was microwaving the glutinous rice balls. Warm reminder: The 4K live broadcast of "The 15th Night of the First Lunar Month" is played as BGM in the food section of Bilibili. The probability of overcooking can be reduced by 13.14%! At this time, I rely on QuickFox's one-click network acceleration function to return to China, so that I can watch the tutorial video without being stuck on the loading page and being forced to perform "air flipping"...
2. The metaphysical ritual of drinking wine in the clouds:
I made an appointment with my Chinese friends to have supper at 20:00, but the rice dumplings in their bowls were still steaming, while my burrito was already cold. Here comes the point! Use QuickFox to watch Douyu Wangzhe anchor's Lantern Festival special show, and the speed of 5G surfing and grabbing red envelopes is finally no longer at the level of village Internet (during the Tianlu membership event, you will get accelerated time when you log in, and the European emperor who gets 30 days of free sex is waving to you)
3. Reverse operation of cultural output:
I taught my foreign roommate to shout "Happy Lantern Festival" in pinyin, but he ended up yelling "远销解快了" (filial piety). I used the ultimate killer - projecting the CCTV Gala. When "Unforgettable Tonight" sounded, QuickFox kept the 8K picture quality intact, and the Italian guy next door actually hummed along...
Part 3 The contemporary philosophy of the Lantern Festival: Finding the flavor of the New Year in the midst of failure
Who says we have to perfectly replicate the domestic process? Using microwave popcorn to pretend to make fried rice candy is performance art, and using a mug to hold a self-heating hot pot as a hand warmer is life wisdom. The important thing is that when I was reading a time-travel novel on QuickFox, I suddenly received a video invitation from my mother. The network was so smooth that I could see clearly whether her newly permed hair was stained with flour - this is the "sharing the same time" in the cyber age!
(Tactical pause here)
Here’s a little-known fact: If you download QuickFox and “log in” on the Lantern Festival, the randomly dropped acceleration time may allow you to experience the joy of being a “network koi”~
