In 2020, the great challenge of the pandemic makes the public more and more aware of the positive significance of enhancing health and civilization consciousness and developing good hygiene habits for prevention of virus transmission. Sanitary behaviors such as frequent hand washing and ventilation developed during the pandemic will continue for long in our future life for the sake of our health.

To promote the catering consumption, many people in the catering industry has started to take positive actions to save themselves. The “Serving Chopsticks and Spoons” action was therefore put forward. Serving chopsticks and spoons are specially designed, and the individual dining system is executed. Merchants pay many efforts and take various pandemic containment measures to eliminate customers’ worries about dining in the premises and recover the vitality of the industry. Actually, we can see around our life that the pandemic is gradually changing people’s dietary habits.

To positively respond to the call of “Serving Chopsticks and Spoons in Families” of Quzhou Municipal Women’s Federation and the Municipal Civilization Office, at 5:00 PM on April 18th, Quzhou Chunjiangyue service center of Binjiang Property, organized a mobile 5G live interaction activity with some residents of the residential quarter and restaurant owners through Ding Talk with the theme of “Serving Chopsticks and Spoons in Families”.

“My grandma is a doctor and serious about personal hygiene. So I have been using serving chopsticks and spoons since I learnt to use chopsticks and spoons,” said Mr. Hu on whose table there were two pairs of serving chopsticks and two serving spoons, “The use of serving chopsticks and spoons is a sanitary and healthy dietary way and we will surely continue this.”

In a restaurant near the residential quarter, there are also serving chopsticks and spoons placed on tables. “It is a good habit to use serving chopsticks and spoons. These chopsticks and spoons are quite different from our ordinary ones in respect of size, color and material, so it’s easy to distinguish them,” said a customer having the meal in the restaurant.

“This live interaction activity received a lot of praise from residents of the residential quarter. We hope that through such online-offline interaction, we can get a real understanding of the use of serving chopsticks and spoons in every family and guide more people to develop such a good habit,” said the director Dong Rong of Baiyun Community.

As one of the first-batch key residential quarters of “Serving Chopsticks and Spoons in Families” promotion in Quzhou, Chunjiangyue focuses on every proprietor and makes every household a front of propaganda, striving to be the first residential quarter of 100% use of serving chopsticks and spoons in Quzhou.

Taking the opportunity of Quzhou Chunjiangyue promoting “Serving Chopsticks and Spoons in Families”, Binjiang Property launches the “Serving Chopsticks and Spoons” action to all Binjiang Property staff and proprietors to realize the civilization on tongue.

It is recommended to use serving chopsticks and spoons that are distinguishable from existing ones in the house in terms of material and size, and is suggested to prepare some more serving chopsticks and spoons in case of a larger number of diners. Such a ritual and civilized dining habit is a proactive choice under the pandemic, but also a kind of inheritance of Chinese culture.

Director Meng of Myriad City Phase II gives his own opinion about the promotion of “Serving Chopsticks and Spoons” action, “Serving chopsticks and spoons is a reflection of our Chinese civilization. It is not only a kind of etiquette, but also an effective way to prevent virus and bacteria transmission. It may take some time to get used to it, but it is worth keeping it. We should respond to the call of using serving chopsticks and spoons, not only to inherit the merit, but, more significantly, to contain the pandemic and add an extra layer of security for our families and friends.”

The severity and extensiveness of this pandemic force us to change our life habits and to face and overcome it with joint hands. This not only embodies the concept of a community with a shared future of mankind, but also arouses in-depth thinking of our future movements.

Changes we make today for the sake of the pandemic and civilization will surely be a positive push to the history. Expecting you to join us and be our fellow of civilization.
