In the eighties and nineties of the last century, the military coat was a very trendy existence, but with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the military coat gradually withdrew from people's sight.
Unexpectedly, although the current military coat is inconspicuous in China, it is difficult to find in foreign countries. It was sold for tens of millions of yuan, and some foreigners even shouted: "This is the fashion robe of the East!" ”
So what is the "charm" of military coats that can make foreigners love them?
Military coats exploded abroad
The reason why foreigners can discover this "treasure" of military coat is that the source is a little brother named John.
In November, John moved to Northeast China.
As a result, as soon as he got off the plane, John was taught a lesson by the Northeast. What kind of wind is blowing, it is clearly blowing a "knife". Even though John had put on the down jacket he had bought for thousands of dollars before he came, he was swishing from the cold.
In the second half of this business negotiation, John couldn't help but complain to the Chinese boss: "The Northeast is too cold, how did you get here before?" ”
The Chinese boss thought about it, led John to a shop, and spent two hundred yuan to buy a military coat and gave it to John.
At first, John was reluctant to wear it, after all, although this military coat looks thick, this version is really bloated.
But after all, it was the kindness of the Chinese boss, and John still put it on.
After putting it on, John "really smelled".
"It's so cozy, it's too warm." After John put it on, he found that he was no longer afraid of the cold wind in the northeast, and even after running for a while, he would sweat.
After negotiating business, John still kept this military coat and brought it back to his country, taking it out from time to time to wear it.
Sure enough, John, as the first foreigner to go out in a Chinese military coat, attracted the attention of countless passers-by on the street.
Foreigners can't put it down for all kinds of new plays, not to mention the military coat, which is thick, warm and practical.
Although a military coat can be won for two hundred in China, on foreign shopping sites, it can be bought even for one or two thousand yuan.
But this does not in any way weaken the attachment of foreigners to military coats, and even many foreigners come to China just to buy a military coat.
Sometimes the supply of merchants exceeds demand, and foreigners will take the initiative to collect the deposit first, and then give it to him when the goods are available.
Because military coats are about to become a phenomenon in foreign countries, many fashion designers have begun to refer to the version of Chinese military coats to carry out creation.
Military coats became a fashion trend
When the Chinese audience under the booth admired these trendy clothes, suddenly a model appeared, and the audience was very familiar.
This color, this version, the Chinese audience seemed to think of something, pursed their lips and laughed.
Isn't this the military coat that used to be one by the Chinese?
Even the design of the military coat is integrated into the children's clothing.
When the little people walked around the booth in a modified military coat, it was simply cute.
However, many people may think that military coats are rare in China, but they are not.
In many provinces and cities with extreme weather, there are still many Chinese people wearing military coats to withstand the wind and cold.
Many star actors are basically one person, after all, they often go to various venues to film, and it is difficult to ensure that the weather is still sunny during the day, and it is cold at night.
Moreover, wearing a military coat can also avoid some "misunderstandings" at some point, preventing people from thinking that he is advertising a certain clothing brand.
In addition to these occasions, military coats are also very popular in some tourist attractions.
Like climbing a mountain, at the foot of the mountain is still short-sleeved shorts, and when you reach the top of the mountain, you have to wear a military coat to protect you from the cold.
Although military coats are worn only in a few places nowadays, in the sixties and seventies of the last century, wearing a military coat was a very proud thing.
The development of military coats in the mainland
Since 1965, the military coat has become a military civilian wear, and it has been touted among the people.
It is because of the thickness and low price of the military coat that it is very cost-effective to be able to buy such a coat in that period when the per capita income is limited, and the military coat is still very durable, and it can be worn for seven or eight years by sewing and mending.
At that time, the smudging technology of clothing was not yet mature, and many people's clothes were gray and black, and it was also a very face-saving thing to be able to wear an army green coat.
In addition, many ordinary people admire soldiers, even if they can't be able to wear a military coat, they are very happy.
So in the winter at that time, all the people walking on the street were all in military coats.
Later, with the continuous improvement of China's economic and technological level, more cutting-edge styles and thick and warm clothes were introduced, and military coats gradually withdrew from the "first line".
epilogue
China's military coat can become popular in foreign countries, not only because the military coat has the effect of keeping warm and strong, but also shows the improvement of China's comprehensive national strength.
With the improvement of China's national strength, foreigners will also feel that wearing a Chinese coat is a very powerful thing, and praise the military coat as "the fashionable robe of the East".
And if it is just a small country with no name, its characteristic clothing will not be noticed at all, and even if it is worn on these foreigners, it will not cause a trend.
In addition to military coats being sought after abroad, other Chinese products have also begun to go international, just like the "old godmother" chili sauce, which makes countless foreigners have endless aftertaste.
There are also Chinese electric blankets, many foreigners have said: I have never seen this thing before, and I didn't expect that the blanket can also use electricity.
In addition to these daily necessities, China's science and technology also attract the attention of people all over the world.
Let's just say that today, the success of the Shenzhou-16 manned mission is beyond the reach of countless countries. After all, they have not yet developed manned spaceflight technology.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative, which runs through Eurasia, and in order to help other developing countries, China has also sold them a lot of cheap and practical building materials such as cement and red bricks.
It can not only solve the unsalable expansion of mainland cement, but also drive the development of other countries, which is a win-win decision.
