Now, let's move on to the next topic of today.
Wild Eat, or Yi Chu, is the latest lifestyle trend catching on with China's youth.
It's all about eating outdoors, but don't confuse it with your typical picnic.
The key here is the wild part, not just the eating, and picture this.
It could be as simple as enjoying a packed lunch on a park bench, or as adventurous as setting up an unpropped to hot pot on a mountainside.
The idea is to have a no fuss meal while soaking in the natural surroundings.
For these young folks, it's all about finding a slice of freedom and a moment to unwind in the great outdoors.
I'm still a little confused about what wild eat is.
Yeah, it just kind of sounds like outdoor activities with a snack, which is pretty standard procedure, I guess.
You put it in that way, but I'm sure those young people are doing it in more fancy way.
Because when we talk about wild eat, it's just not so similar to traditional picnics like you said, Huyang.
It really focuses on enjoying a simple meal in a wild and natural environment, and it really often involves activities like setting up a hot pot outdoors, or bringing some sea sandwich,
some portable meals to parks, or even rural areas.
In the meantime, they can also be doing some budget-friendly activities, such as tree hugging,
short walks, city walks, bus rides, yes, and meditation.
We should be doing that, I guess, as a form of meditation, and also to get yourself closer to nature, where you're having lunch.
