At eight o'clock in the evening on the 25th, Yanjing time, CCTV News Channel devoted ten full minutes to reporting the news about Zhang Chongri.
While people lamented the speed of CCTV news editing, they were also surprised that CCTV jumped out to endorse Zhang Zhong this time.
The statement about Zhang Chongri is still in the initial stage, and many people and organizations have expressed support, but it seems that it still lacks some traction.
At this time, CCTV's prime time news channel not only reported this matter, but the title of the news was directly "Single-day sales of 140 million, Zhang Chongri truly deserves the title."
The wording was so thorough that many people didn't expect it.
After this news came out, the direction of public opinion, which had no branches in the first place, became more consistent. Before, there were only some self-media reports. Now CCTV News has taken a good lead, and major official media have stepped forward.
And the speed with which they came forward was truly astonishing.
The fastest one is Nanhuai Satellite TV. CCTV News Channel reported this news at eight o'clock, and Nanhuai Satellite TV started reporting it at eight ten.
With such a short interval, it’s hard to say whether Nanhuai TV is following the trend.
As soon as the official media entered the scene, the Zhang Chongri matter seemed to be immediately concluded, at least in China.
In the United States, the most positive one is naturally Cupertino. They are the most hopeful that Zhang Zhongri's matter will be achieved, not only because there are the largest proportion of Zhang Zhong's fans here, but more importantly, after this matter is accomplished,
, they, Cupertino City, benefit the most and can obtain very direct economic benefits.
Mayor Cameron not only shouted loudly on his private social account, but also organized citizens to create something similar to a petition, hoping that all Americans would designate the 23rd as Zhang Chong Day.
.
I have to say that Cameron is talented in this area, otherwise the local pzday in Cupertino wouldn't be able to do it at that time.
Putting aside these superficial efforts, he did something very surprising.
He even needs more than just the will of the people if he wants to become Zhang Chongri.
The will of the people can only be temporary, and only the system will last.
Of course, he has no way to influence the system of the United States or even other countries around the world, but he has done something to establish an implicit system, and that is to create a set of rituals.
Cameron, Deputy Mayor Jones and a group of Cupertino officials spent more than a day formulating a set of procedures for the holiday ceremony.
This process is a bit like other holiday customs and habits, such as decorating the Christmas tree at Christmas, eating turkey at Thanksgiving, and setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve...
There are many things in the process. For example, on this day, everyone should give a book that they like very much to their friends and relatives to pass on the culture.
Another example is when family or friends have a meal together and share their feelings about studying in the past year at the dinner table...
Of course, Cameron will not forcefully tell others to abide by this process. He just encourages people to do so and said he would encourage the citizens of Cupertino to celebrate such a holiday.
Once a thing has a ritual, it will appear more formal.
And this kind of thing also makes young people find it very interesting. It seems that there is no need to do anything special. As long as acquaintances gather together for a meal on this day, and then talk about their reading experience, or give a book to themselves.
people.
They usually do these things, but now they put them on the same day and everyone does them together.
But at this time, some people raised objections. After all, this is not a legal holiday. March 23rd does not fall on the weekend every year. What if it happens to be in the middle of the week.
Office workers don’t have time.
It was originally just a small question raised by a netizen, but unexpectedly it caused widespread discussion.
The reason why such a widespread discussion has arisen is because everyone really appreciates this matter and really wants to live a happy life, rather than simply joining in the fun.
Later, people discussed many plans. Some people said that the government should just designate this day as a legal holiday, so that everyone can have a holiday.
This is a beautiful statement, but it is absolutely impossible to realize.
There are many anniversaries every year, but there are only a few statutory holidays. Even festivals such as the founding of the army and the founding of the party have not become statutory holidays. It is not reasonable for Zhang Chong Day to become a statutory holiday.
Another solution that is more recognized by everyone is that instead of setting Zhang Chong's day on a certain day, you can refer to Mother's Day or Father's Day.
Father's Day is the third Sunday in June every year, and Mother's Day is the second Sunday in May every year.
If you arrange it according to Father's Day and Mother's Day, you can ensure that Zhang Chong's Day falls on the weekend every year.
March 23 happens to be the fourth Saturday in March, so some people suggested that it be better to designate the fourth Saturday in March as Zhang Chong Day.
At this time, the mayor of Cupertino was the first to jump out. He posted a personal update on Instagram, saying that he hoped that on the fourth Saturday of March next year, Cupertino would hold a holiday celebration.
Zhang Zhong was able to participate when the time came, and he circled Zhang Zhong specially.
Zhang Zhong, who has never been on Instagram, actually forwarded this Instagram for the first time and said that he would definitely go there next year.
Now the melon-eaters finally knew what to do. It didn't take long for Zhang Chong's date to be fixed and it became the fourth Saturday in March every year.
[Can I book a flight to Cupertino for the fourth Saturday in March next year? I want to spend the holidays with Zhang Zhong next year.]
[What kind of bad luck does Cupertino have? It always gets an advantage.]
[Let me go, this is really not luck. I have been to Cupertino, and there are really many Zhang Zhong fans in that place. The locals may not know the name of their governor, but they definitely know Zhang Zhong. 】
[Yes, haven’t you seen that the mayor is yelling at Zhang Chong every day? This is what they deserve.]
[To be honest, I have never heard of Cupertino before. Friends who have been there can tell me, is it worth traveling? 】
[Well, how should I put it? Cupertino is an ordinary small American city, nothing special. But if you are a fan of Zhang Zhong, you will definitely feel like heaven when you go there. And many people in that place can speak Chinese, not only
Chinese and many native Americans are also learning Chinese.]
[Yes, my cousin went to Cupertino Community College to teach Chinese language the year before last. The Chinese language education market there is huge, with only 60,000 people.]
[Yes, if you spoke Chinese in the past, the locals would have a different attitude towards you, they would be very enthusiastic.]
