When the correspondent (direction) met Deng Shuting, who was born in 1998, in Hankou, Wuhan Garden Expo Garden, she was wearing a Song Hanfu and holding up an oil-paper umbrella, and Tingting came out of the mist of early spring.
There was a playing child next to her, running a few steps to catch up with her, and staring back at her curiously and enviously. She greeted the child with a smile and then walked away calmly and leisurely.
At the weekend, the "post-95" girl started her Hanfu life again.
On weekdays, she is a researcher engaged in genetic testing and tumor screening.
Whether it is burying her head in research genes or transforming into a Hanfu player, Deng Shuting's AB face is properly wonderful. As she said, don't complain about the "post-95s" young people, we are so maverick and love life.
Genetic testing, tumor screening
Long hair pulled up, rigorous and pragmatic
The future career direction has long sown the seeds in the heart. When she was in junior high school, Deng Shuting did not like to read Xian Xia, nor did she love fantasy, but instead liked to read the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and reading it was a few hours. In 2016, she was admitted to Jiangxi Normal University and decisively chose her favorite biology major. During college, the summer vacation time was all "contributed" to various plants and germs. In her freshman year, she followed her brother to the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Inner Mongolia to study grassland ecology and desertification, and returned to her home in Wuhan for two months, where she was ridiculed by her family as "blackened by octaves"; In the Jiangxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC learned pathogen screening, such as with cholera, scared the family to pinch sweat, she in turn comforted the family, "everything is required to protect well, what is the heart"...
After graduation, back in her hometown of Wuhan, Deng Shuting entered a high-end medical special examination service inspection platform in Optics Valley. Usually, before entering the biology laboratory, you have to pull up your long hair, put on a white coat, and bring a mask and gloves. Then, blood is drawn, DNA is extracted, and PCR (simply put, artificial technology is used to continuously copy DNA, so that it changes from two to two, two to four, and more and more. The concentration of DNA samples extracted in the natural state is generally relatively low, usually after PCR amplification, can be used for detection, sequencing, transgene and other operations), and then sequencing with a sequencer...
For the statement of "decoding life", Deng Shuting felt that it was not so tall. Genetic testing is an emerging technology based on scientific theories such as genomics and bioinformatics, which detects and analyzes human genes through blood, other body fluids or cells to diagnose diseases and predict the risk of disease. "Technology is more and more serving the public, this is the trend." She said that genetic testing to find risks, followed by scientific prevention and intervention, will ultimately reduce the chance of disease, making "treatment of the disease" possible. In fact, genetic testing is not far away from us, whether it is our common non-invasive prenatal genetic testing (NIPT) or a series of cancer screenings such as cervical cancer and ovarian cancer, and even the nucleic acid testing that almost every one of us has experienced in the past two years, all belong to genetic testing technology.
Not being able to bring her phone to work has instead given up her dependence on her phone. "I don't want to be so depressed, brushing my phone is too wasteful of time."
At home, I wear Hanfu when shopping
Spread traditional culture generously
After work, Deng Shuting became - "Shumo", which was the number she gave herself.
Since high school, she has liked Hanfu, and after going to college, she entered the Zhongzheng Hanfu Club and was completely fascinated by Hanfu. Speaking of her favorite Hanfu, Deng Shuting gushed endlessly: "The Han Dynasty is calm and beautiful, the Tang Dynasty is gorgeous, Wei and Jin are elegant and elegant, the Song is fresh and elegant, and the Ming dynasty is dignified and elegant..." And these Chinese clothes that have traveled through thousands of years come from, where they come from, from whom, and this millennium "mystery" is what Deng Shuting is most willing to explore to the end. "The shape of Hanfu is different, and the more representative ones are the Han Dynasty women's curved heels (representative of the excavated cultural relics of the Han Ma Wangdui), the Tang Dynasty Tan collar and the full-breasted skirt." She made a special trip to the Hunan Provincial Museum to see the printed yellow gauze brocade robe excavated in 1972 at the Mawangdui No. 1 Han Tomb in Changsha. "A fu made by combining printing and painting is a very gorgeous fashion for aristocratic women in the Han Dynasty, which used to exist only in ancient documents, and now, it originates from the prototype, the collar, the right, the straight... Coupled with the illusion of vine plants, more beautiful costumes are presented, allowing us to easily 'travel through' time and see the style of two thousand years ago. ”
When playing outside, Deng Shuting loves to wear Song system, slender and fit, narrow sleeved shirts, long skirts under the body, walking up and swaying postures, adding to the flowing beauty.
In her spare time, she participated in the Hanfu and Chinese Costume Festivals in Wuhan, Xi'an, Hangzhou and other places, and the best thing to see was to play side by side with the "Wei and Jin Celebrities" who wore "Bo Belts" and stepped on a pair of clogs (similar to the hiking shoes worn by white collar workers now), and her heart remained in the landscape and countryside.
When concentrating on making handmade headdresses at home, Deng Shuting suddenly "crossed" back to the Wuzhou period ruled by Empress Wu Zetian, wearing Tang Hanfu, light red shirts, and wrapped around the flesh-red gauze drapery that overlapped on the chest for a week, like a shawl, "pink chest half concealing doubts qingxue".
In March 2020, she pulled her family to wear Hanfu together. She wore Song Hanfu, her mother and grandmother put on Ming Hanfu, her father and brother wore modern clothes, and the family spanned thousands of years to take a family portrait.
In her opinion, the beauty of the costume is called hua, and the etiquette is called summer.
Clothing and clothing have directly become an integral part of the definition of "Huaxia".
As an ancient country, Chinese culture and Chinese costumes have always been inseparable.
The deep garment that hides the body, full of the connotation of etiquette; The thin and transparent shirt conveys a subtle sense of beauty, a variety of skirts, carrying the pursuit of freedom...
The Chinese crown shows the beauty of the clothing chapter, but also the Chinese spirit of etiquette and fashion coexisting, subtle and unrestrained.
"Children have basically not been bothered since childhood. Study and life are very disciplined. Deng Shuting's mother said that her daughter has had a very correct idea since she was a child, knows what kind of life she wants, and adults respect her and support her.
Rigorous career and flowing life
It's all about "being yourself"
"Three years ago, I was walking down the street in Hanfu, and some people thought it was Hanbok!" Deng Shuting recalled that now, walking on the street, people have a certain understanding of Hanfu, and their eyes have become appreciative and inclusive. "Thanks to the push of many online platforms, young people have found a stage to show themselves, such as Douyin, Little Red Book, Pinduoduo..." Hanfu slowly came out of the circle, and Hanfu culture gradually returned from the niche to the public and into the lives of ordinary people.
"In the past, the price of Hanfu was generally high." Deng Shuting remembers that three or four years ago, a single Piece of Hanfu started from four or five hundred yuan, and a set of them came down for thousands of yuan, "Now the price is a lot, like the Hanfu flagship store on Pinduoduo, more than 100 yuan can also buy a set of good quality." Deng Shuting said that in recent years, the online platform of Hanfu has increased, and he will also use the rigorous style of scientific research when shopping for Hanfu online: "I will carefully compare the qualifications of the store, and then the style, design, workmanship, practice out of the truth, buy several times, and find that what I bought on Pinduoduo is indeed the most cost-effective." Deng Shuting said that she had recently looked at a Song-made cardigan skirt in the flagship store of Chi Xia, which could be done for 168 yuan and was ready to start as a birthday gift for herself.
Deng Shuting said that in the past year, she has successively bought more than a dozen sets of Hanfu at the Pinduoduo Hua shen ji and chixia Hanfu flagship stores, and she likes one of the sets of Tang heavy industry embroidery cardigan big sleeve shirts and skirts, which is less than 300 yuan, pink and tender colors, exquisite green plum embroidery, scattered gold noodles, super desirable.
She also invites friends in the "Hanfu Circle" to place orders together from time to time, and everyone often shares good things. "Now, the online platform has promoted the production end and design end of Hanfu to think about how to make the original better, the price is more close to the people, and my girlfriend circle and Hanfu circle have been expanded."
For the various labels of "post-95" evaluated by the outside world, Deng Shuting is very open-minded - has not each age group been defined? Finally, you have to define your own life. "I love to read both 'Molecular Biology of Genes' and 'Dream of the Red Chamber', both love the mysterious genetic decoding, and also buy Hanfu on Pinduoduo... The younger generation treats life in many ways, complete their work well when working, develop their hobbies in their spare time, plan their time well, and don't let yourself be too decadent. ”
Interestingly, whether it is the career that Deng Shuting loves or the obsessive Hanfu, there are many big-man-level figures, and she does not worship, but only respects and appreciates.
She said that there are really no stars or idols for her to worship. Perhaps this is the unique feature of the new generation of "post-95s": not blindly following, not worshipping, and believing in themselves.
