Background
 

 

As the atmosphere of the Spring Festival reunion grows stronger, people from all over the country, whether reunited with their families or unable to return home for the New Year due to their duties, the candies they ate and the dumplings they made as children... those Chinese flavors have formed lifelong memories, lasting and ever new.
 
Madajie Food has always focused on a brand that conveys emotion. By filming the short film "Returning Home for Spring Festival: The Taste of China," it hopes to convey to consumers the emotional bond between Madajie food and family affection, happiness, warmth, and sweetness. What does "Returning Home for Spring Festival" taste like? Is it the bitterness of the crowded train station, or the sweetness of the candies in the Spring Festival fruit plate? Is it the sourness of suddenly noticing that parents are slowing down, or the bitterness of the enthusiastic "care" of numerous relatives? Or is it the blandness year after year, or the richness of the joy of the whole family going on a trip... Different people will have different answers.

Execution
 

 

Madajie Food, together with more than 10 national brands, advocates for the Chinese flavors we all believe in. Through the collaborative efforts of national brands such as Sanyuan Milk, Niu Lanshan Liquor, Hand in Hand Juice, Luova Personal Care, Weiduomei, Beijing Auto, i do, Qumei Home Furnishings, and Xifeng Liquor, using their own channels such as Weibo, WeChat, and Moments, and collaborating with hundreds of verified accounts on social media, a wide range of dissemination was achieved. At the same time, it was played nationwide on numerous platforms such as Tencent and iQiyi.

 

 

The taste of China is the dumplings made by mother's hands, the children's songs passed down from grandparents to grandchildren, the paper-cutting done hand in hand, the gifts carefully prepared by the husband, the authentic Beijing-style national liquor Niu Lanshan, a Weiduomei old-fashioned bread, a cup of Hand in Hand juice, the daily companion Sanyuan Milk, the health-promoting Beijson massager, the warm home of Qumei Home Furnishings, the lifelong commitment to one's wife from IDO, the comfortable "childhood" journey of Kidy, the good fortune of Luova laundry detergent, the classic interpretation of national spirit and fragrance from Xifeng Liquor, and the national candy Madajie that children loved... the unrestrained time when the family is together.

 

It turns out that the taste of returning home for the Spring Festival is called "love." No matter where you are, as long as you are with your family, that is home, a lifelong destination, and a lifetime of wealth.
