China is a lion in the East. Since its reform and opening up, its comprehensive national strength has become increasingly powerful, shocking the world.
The construction of the "Belt and Road" economic belt has once again attracted the attention of China on the world stage, and Chinese cuisine has also attracted the world's attention with the construction of the economic belt.
China's development is advancing steadily.
The China I know is strong and friendly.
The "Belt and Road" economic belt has driven the economic development of countries along the route and promoted friendly exchanges and trade development between my country and other countries. It can be described as a "win-win".
Since ancient times, China has presented a peaceful and friendly face to others.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian as an envoy to the Western Regions to open up the Silk Road and enhance friendly exchanges with countries in the Western Regions.
Ingredients such as flax, beans, and spices were also introduced to China and integrated into Chinese cuisine.
The ancient desert road, full of camel bells, laid the foundation for the "One Belt, One Road" initiative and introduced China to the world.
When talking about China, we have to mention Chinese food.
There is an old saying in China: Food is the most important thing for the people.
The China I know has a wide variety of delicious food, which is mouth-watering.
China has four major cuisines, each with its own characteristics and a long history of food culture.
There are dumplings on New Year's Eve, rice dumplings on Dragon Boat Festival, and mooncakes on Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, Chinese cuisine has a profound cultural heritage, and each dish and even each ingredient has a story behind it and a connotation given by tradition.
Eating fish but not eating it all on New Year’s Eve means “having more than enough every year”; Cantonese people like to eat fat vegetables because it sounds like “get rich”; glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival are regarded as a symbol of reunion... National leaders at this year’s G20 Summit in Hangzhou
At the dinner party, Chinese food was grandly displayed like China's famous brand, and was praised by leaders of other countries.
On the premise of inheriting tradition, Chinese cuisine will also innovatively incorporate new elements, such as "chocolate stuffed mooncakes" and "biscuit glutinous rice balls" we see in supermarkets.
China is really an ancient and dynamic country where tradition and innovation coexist.
The China I know also has challenges and twists and turns on its development path.
Food safety issues emerge one after another and are a hidden danger for the Chinese people.
Unscrupulous merchants make gutter oil and tainted milk powder unscrupulously, which seriously damages the health of consumers and puts a disgraceful mark on the shining business card of Chinese cuisine.
In recent years, food safety issues have improved through continuous rectification, and most businesses operate with integrity.
Niu Gensheng, chairman of Mengniu Group, once said frankly: "Small profits depend on wisdom, and big profits depend on sincerity."
The integrity of businesses can reduce the occurrence of food safety problems and benefit the people and themselves.
I hope that China’s food will become safer and safer. Only in this way can Chinese cuisine stand firm among the world’s gourmet foods, and Chinese people and the world can better enjoy pure Chinese cuisine.
The road of life is full of unknowns, which makes our exploration of the future bursting with endless fun.
The same is true for the development of a country. China has great potential, and the road ahead is long and full of unknowns. We must overcome the countercurrent whirlpool in our progress and strive to explore the future so that the Chinese nation can stand among the nations of the world.
