Mainland company sends zhacai to Taiwan economist who mocked mainlanders as poor

臺(tái)灣財(cái)經(jīng)專(zhuān)家嘲笑大陸人窮，大陸廠家送給他一箱榨菜

A Chinese mainland company has sent a box of zhacai, or pickled vegetables, to the headquarters of a Taiwanese talk show program after a Taiwan economist made an appearance on an episode to mock the idea that mainland residents cannot afford zhacai.

臺(tái)灣某財(cái)經(jīng)專(zhuān)家在一檔節(jié)目中嘲笑大陸人吃不起榨菜，隨后，大陸廠家向臺(tái)灣這檔談話(huà)節(jié)目的總部寄去了一箱榨菜。

Zhacai is one of the most commonly eaten foods that mainlanders eat together with rice, porridge or instant noodles. A bag of zhacai weigh about 80 grams usually costs three yuan ($0.4), while per capita disposable income of Chinese mainland residents is 28,228 yuan.

榨菜是大陸人最常吃的食物之一，通常作為米飯、粥或方便面的配菜。一袋重約80克的榨菜通常售價(jià)為3元(約合0.4美元)，而中國(guó)大陸居民的人均可支配收入為28228元。

Huang Shicong, an economist in Taiwan said on a talk show program "Crucial Moment" on August 7, that "people in the mainland always eat zhacai together with instant noodles, but now they can’t afford it."

8月7日，臺(tái)灣財(cái)經(jīng)專(zhuān)家黃世聰在一檔名為《關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻》的談話(huà)節(jié)目中說(shuō)，“大陸人都吃泡面配榨菜，但他們現(xiàn)在連榨菜都吃不起了。”

Huang said the decline in the share price of Fuling Zhacai, a famous Chinese zhacai maker in Fuling, Southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality, showed that mainland people were too poor to eat zhacai. He wrongly pronounced Fuling as Peiling.

黃世聰說(shuō)道，涪陵榨菜的股價(jià)下跌，表明大陸人太窮了，吃不起榨菜了。涪陵榨菜是位于中國(guó)西南部重慶市涪陵區(qū)的一家著名的榨菜生產(chǎn)商。他還錯(cuò)把“涪陵”的“fú”讀成了“péi”。

Mainlanders could not afford zhacai sounds like a gimmick, but this notion reflects that many Taiwanese are ignorant about the overwhelming development of Chinese mainland during the past tens of years, instead they blindly cling to their own prejudices, an employee of the Fuling Zhacai company who requested anonymity told the Global Times on Wednesday.

周三，涪陵榨菜一位不愿意透露姓名的員工告訴《環(huán)球時(shí)報(bào)》，大陸人吃不起榨菜的說(shuō)法聽(tīng)起來(lái)像是一個(gè)噱頭，但這一說(shuō)法反映出了許多臺(tái)灣人并不了解中國(guó)大陸在過(guò)去幾十年所發(fā)生的翻天覆地的變化，相反，他們盲目地堅(jiān)持自己的偏見(jiàn)。

"We sell more than one million tons of zhacai, or billions of bags of zhacai, every year," the employee said. The revenue of Chongqing Fuling Zhacai Group in 2018 is more than 1.9 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of about 26 percent, according to the company’s annual reports.

該員工說(shuō)：“我們每年銷(xiāo)售100多萬(wàn)噸榨菜，相當(dāng)于數(shù)十億袋榨菜。”據(jù)重慶涪陵榨菜集團(tuán)的年報(bào)顯示，2018年該集團(tuán)營(yíng)收超過(guò)19億元，同比增長(zhǎng)了近26%。

Fuling Zhacai announced on Sina Weibo on Sunday that they had delivered a box of zhacai to the program, saying that "we are not only able to afford zhacai, but also to treat you all in the program with zhacai."

周日，涪陵榨菜在新浪微博上宣稱(chēng)，他們已經(jīng)向該節(jié)目組寄去了一箱榨菜，并稱(chēng)“我們不僅吃得起榨菜，還能拿榨菜招待你們節(jié)目組的所有人。”

"Thanks for your efforts to promote zhacai and Chinese language culture," the company also said on its Weibo account.

涪陵榨菜還在其微博上寫(xiě)道：“感謝您對(duì)榨菜文化普及、漢語(yǔ)言文化推廣所做的努力。”

The zhacai joke is not the first case that Taiwan programs use food to mock the mainland people. On August 11 some Taiwan analysts said in another program that the price increase of Wuliangye, a well-known Chinese liquor, indicates that Chinese mainland residents are drowning their sorrows amid economic downturn.

榨菜鬧劇并非臺(tái)灣節(jié)目首次拿食物來(lái)嘲笑大陸人。8月11日，一些臺(tái)灣分析人士在另一檔節(jié)目中表示，中國(guó)知名白酒品牌五糧液漲價(jià)，表明在經(jīng)濟(jì)低迷時(shí)期，大陸居民正在借酒消愁。

In 2011, Gao Zhibin, a scholar in Taiwan, said that tea-boiled eggs, at about 2.5 yuan a pop, are luxury food and most mainland people could not afford them.

2011年，臺(tái)灣學(xué)者高志斌說(shuō)道，茶葉蛋是一種奢侈食品，大約2.5元一個(gè)，大多數(shù)大陸人吃不起茶葉蛋。

Huang’s speech made a big splash on Chinese mainland social media. The trending topic of "Taiwan program claims mainland people cannot afford zhacai" has been viewed 980 million times as of press time.

黃世聰?shù)难哉撛谥袊?guó)大陸的社交媒體上引起了轟動(dòng)。截止發(fā)稿時(shí)，“臺(tái)灣節(jié)目稱(chēng)大陸人吃不起榨菜”這一熱門(mén)話(huà)題的瀏覽量已達(dá)9.8億次。

Netizens rushed to post photos of themselves being surrounded by bags of zhacai they bought while asking "am I rich enough?"

網(wǎng)友們紛紛曬出被自己購(gòu)買(mǎi)的袋裝榨菜包圍的照片，并配文稱(chēng)：“我夠富嗎?”
