Mulan is an exciting action movie. It comes from
Do you know about Bee & Flower? It was once a well-known hair care brand (品牌) in China. Many brands like this have “disappeared” because young people don’t know about BEE & FLOWER.
But recently, some old Chinese brands have made a comeback. It’s a good start, but there’s more to it.
In early September, Li Jiaqi made many Chinese people angry because of eyebrow pens (眉笔). Some people thought that they were too expensive as it cost 79 yuan to get three pens. Later, Bee & Flower started to sell three large bottles of hair care products for the same price. It showed that Chinese products could still be cost-effective (划算的).
Many Chinese brands took their chance by selling through livestreaming (直播). What’s more, they also helped sell each other’s product (产品). For example, hosts of sports brand Erke washed their hair with Bee & Flower products on Sept 13.
Many people can’t stop buying these products. Why? For one thing, they think that the products of these Chinese brands are good to use and don’t cost (花费) much. Also, it makes buyers feel proud. They can help these old brands “come back to life” by buying the products. Buyers believe in these brands and will use their money to help them grow.
However, this is only a start. How can these brands keep people interested? Good products with good prices. The brands shouldn’t take advantage of (利用) people’s trust. They should turn it into a reason to make their products better.

A young man went to an expert on gems（宝石） and wanted to learn from him. The expert shook his head. He worried that young men wouldn’t have the patience to learn. In his opinion, they were always in a hurry.

A man wondered why an elderly lady was all alone on a cruise ship. He noticed that the staff on the ship all knew her. Curious, he asked a waiter about the lady, half-expecting to hear that she owned the cruise line. However, all the waiter knew was that she had been on the last four cruises, back to back.
As he left the dining room one evening, he caught her eye and stopped to say hello. He asked, “I understand you’ve been on this ship for the last four cruises. ”
She replied, “Yes, that’s true.” “I don’t understand,” he said. Without waiting, she replied, “It’s cheaper than a nursing home（养老院）. The cost for a nursing home is at least $200 a day. Here on the cruise, I can get a long-term discount（折扣） price of ”$135 a day, That leaves $65 a day for extra. I can enjoy up to 10 meals a day of fantastic food through room service. There are also free pools, an exercise room and nightly shows. Clean daily necessities are provided every day, without needing to ask. They treat you like a valued customer, not just a patient. An extra $5 worth of tips will have all the staff happy to help you. ”

Covering an area of 720,000 square metre, the Forbidden City used to be the home of the emperors in Ming and Qing dynasties. Its construction(建造) work started in 1406 and finished in 1420. The painting and decorating of the Forbidden City kept changing over the years, but the meanings of some colors have never changed.
Blue, green and black can be found everywhere in the Forbidden City Blue is a symbol of trust, relaxation and calmness. Green stands for growth, health and balance. Black is the color of blood ties (血缘关系), water and knowledge.
White is an unlucky color in Chinese culture. It represents death and sadness. It is not a popular color in the Forbidden City.
The two most important colors in the Forbidden City are yellow and red.
Yellow was the color of the emperor. It represented his power of ruling over the country. The seat of the emperor was yellow. Many of the buildings were decorated in yellow inside. The roofs (屋) of the buildings in the Forbidden City are almost all yellow except for several places. One of them is the library. Its roof is black, which is connected with water and fire-prevention. Another example is the palaces where young princes used to live. They have green roofs, which represents wood and growth.
Much of the Forbidden City was painted red as well. Well-known as China’s luckiest color, red is connected with happiness and treasure. Red can be found on columns(柱子), window frames(框架) and walls all over the palaces. The wooden columns were painted red also for another purpose -to make the wood stay longer.
