"Downton Abbey" is a Series produced by the British TV station ITV and received critical acclaim as soon as it aired, with both Queen and Obama becoming fans of the show. This is not only because of the excellent production of its shooting, but also because it is faithful to the social background and aristocratic family culture of the time, which gives it a deep understanding and communication.
Set in the "Downton Abbey" in Yorkshire during the reign of King George V in the 1910s, the story begins with the entanglements caused by the inheritance of the family property in the Earl of Grantham's family, presenting the human life of the British aristocracy. Of all the film and television productions, the show reflects the details of the work of the British butler service system to the highest extent. Many friends think that butler service is very mysterious, so let's go through "Downton Abbey" and wonder what butler service is while watching the play.
Let's review a clip from the play:
Heir Matthew Crawley and his mother Isobel Crawley first arrived at Downton Abbey. As a middle-class lawyer, Matthew has never been exposed to butler service, but as heir, he must be integrated into the way he should live. This collision made some jokes. The following conversation is a straightforward expression of Matthew's lack of understanding of butler service:
Looking at the expression of Mosley's personal maid, can you feel the blood in his heart?
The future heirs recognize the housekeeping work as completely unnecessary and can be done independently by themselves. and eggs. The Earl of Grantham told the truth about why this could not be done:
Matthew accepted the old man's advice and went back to reconcile with the Mosley maid (apparently Mosley felt struck by the sudden happiness):
Comments:
In traditional Chinese culture in a broad sense, the service industry has always been despised, and practitioners can hardly gain pride and dignity. Yet as a human being, they need to be understood and respected. Doing things with gratitude and doing things with money are two very different effects. This is the biggest difference in mentality between the housekeeper and the general service staff. Of course, this is definitely not something that can be formed unilaterally.
British butler service is the most systematic, professional and high-end service for high-end customers (mainly in the field of private house and personal services) in the world. They are not only the service providers of customers, but also the understanding of life and the helpers everywhere. Because of their perennial lives together, most housekeepers have become indispensable members of the employer's family. With their hard work, perfect service concept, skills and good professional ethics, they have won the respect and love of family members. In Britain, many butlers also received knighthoods, which were generally recognized by the upper class. For example, during Xi Da's visit to the UK, Mr. Hood, the current british royal queen's grand housekeeper who took the place of the queen to pick up the airport, is also known as viscount Hood (the eighth viscount of Hood), which shows the queen's attention and affirmation.
On October 19, 2015, President Xi Jinping arrived in London to begin a state visit to the United Kingdom. The Queen of England, on behalf of the Viscount Hood (first from right), waited to be greeted at the airport.
Let's recall the words of the Earl of Grantham:
We all do our part in this society. We have to give them a chance.
For them it's work, a realization of self-worth. Like you and I find value in our respective roles.
It has been ten years since the British Butlers Association entered the Chinese mainland in 2005. Relying on the British butler system and service standards, combined with the Chinese customer culture, nearly a thousand housekeepers and related service personnel have been trained successively. Their level of respect in employer families is gradually increasing. We are very happy to see such changes, and we are confident that in the next decade, we will form a real understanding and love between our employers and employees, thus promoting the improvement of the quality of life and happiness of the whole family. Respecting the labor of others is like expecting others to respect the products produced by your enterprise and your labor.
Something:
In 2013, the historical inflection point from industry-led to service-oriented emerged, and the proportion of Added Value of China's service industry reached 46.1%, surpassing the manufacturing industry for the first time and becoming the industry with the largest contribution rate among the three major industries in our country. 2020 is the historical node of China's transition to a major service country, from the perspective of international experience, the modern service industry with high added value has gradually replaced the traditional industry with low added value to become a new driving force for economic growth, which is an objective trend of sustainable economic development in a country from the middle and late industrialization to the late industrialization, and it is also the only way for a country to successfully move towards a high-income country.
In 2014, China's GDP increased by 7.4%, the secondary industry increased by 7.3%, the service industry increased by 8.1%, and in 2014, the added value of the service industry reached 48.2% of GDP, a record high. This high and low show that the driving force mechanism of China's economic growth is undergoing historic changes, and the service industry has begun to become the main driving force for China's economic growth.
In 2015, China proposed "supply-side reform" for the first time, fully pointing out that the service industry is the most important focus of national strategic adjustment and the biggest source of power for future economic development. The British Butlers Association Chinese mainland district also believes that a country with a strong service industry can be a real power.
