Xiaomi SU7 "hell version" causes fever before Qingming Festival

On the eve of Qingming Festival, the Chinese market for offerings is bustling with trendy products. Notably, the popular Xiaomi SU7 electric car also has a "paper" version for the afterlife, attracting special attention from the online community.

According to traditional Chinese beliefs, Qingming Festival is an occasion to remember ancestors, show filial piety and wish to send necessary items to the deceased in the "other world". Since ancient times, burning paper money, paper houses and paper cars has become an indispensable part of this ritual.

However, along with the development of society and changes in consumer tastes, the world of offerings is constantly updated according to modern trends. If in the past, paper car models were mainly familiar luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz or BMW, now, the appearance of the Xiaomi SU7 electric car in paper version has marked an interesting change.

The Chinese online community is buzzing with images of Xiaomi SU7 paper cars being sold on e-commerce sites. These paper car models are meticulously designed, almost perfectly simulating the design of the electric car that is taking the market by storm. In particular, the license plate is also personalized with the words "冥AXXX" (Ming AXXX), imbued with the "underworld" atmosphere of the Qingming Festival.

The price of these "hell version" Xiaomi SU7 is also quite affordable, ranging from 10 to 15 yuan (about 35,000 - 53,000 VND), suitable for many people's budget. The appearance of this paper car model not only aroused curiosity but also created a wave of heated discussion on social networks.

Many netizens humorously commented: "Old Lei (the nickname of Xiaomi founder, Lei Jun) has unified the three worlds!", "Remember to burn the charging station too!"; "Xiaomi should take the opportunity to launch more 'underworld' products!", "Surely the delivery time in the underworld is faster than in the human world!", "I wonder if the first 'hell' car owner will have Old Lei personally open the car door?".

Some people even compare the diversity of paper car models this year to a "Qingming International Auto Show", when besides Xiaomi SU7, a series of other luxury car models such as Range Rover, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, SUVs... are also on the shelves in paper versions, meeting all the travel needs of the deceased in the afterlife.

The appearance of the Xiaomi SU7 paper version, along with the diversity of other modern paper car models, shows the change in the concept and customs of the Chinese people in ancestor worship. No longer limited to traditional forms, people increasingly tend to modernize the underworld, bringing the latest technology products and consumer trends into the spiritual world.

However, behind the humorous images and witty comments, there are also opinions that "following the trend" in this way is somewhat excessive and loses the sacred meaning of Qingming Festival. However, it cannot be denied that the appearance of the Xiaomi SU7 paper version has created an interesting and unique highlight in this year's Qingming season, vividly reflecting the intersection between tradition and modernity in contemporary Chinese society.
