你或许也开过这样的玩笑: 离开淘宝,我一定活不下去。通常意义上,这是一种夸张的比喻。但在过去的一年中,随着上海等大城市在疫情中静默,电子商务实实在在地构筑了生命线。鉴于网购已经成为字面意义上的生存必需行为, 这一期的主题对我们来说很清晰,那就是:「求生」。

随着调研的深入,令人惊讶的是,我们发现淘宝上有很多东西是攸关生死的。从防护服时尚和罐头料理,到设计师在淘宝谋生以及为孩子们设计的防疫装备,本期芝麻开门充满了帮助你在日常生活中「求生」的有趣商品。当然,如果万一运气不好没能「生存」,我们也为您准备了关于来世淘宝的特别章节。

无论你是想开启淘宝卖偏方神药的灰色产业,还是想了解家里闲置运动器材的全新用途,都会找到你需要的指南,我们希望你平安。毕竟,淘宝教会我们,求生是一个严肃的生意。

Normally when we say we couldn’t survive without Taobao, we mean it metaphorically. But with Chinese cities like Shanghai going into lockdown over the past year, e-commerce has become a literal lifeline. Given how much simple online purchases have started factoring into survival strategies, the theme for this issue felt clear to us.

The more we looked into it, the more we discovered that a surprising amount of things on Taobao are a matter of life and death. From protective fashion and canned cuisine to making a living as a Taobao designer and selling Covid gear to kids, this issue is chock full of things to help you survive whatever life throws at you. Hell, even if you don’t make it, we’ve got a special section on products for the afterlife! 

Whether you want to start a scam business selling medicine or discover a secret new use for your exercise equipment, we’ve got something for everyone, so we hope you enjoy – and stay safe out there! After all, Taobao has taught us that staying alive is serious business.
