For centuries, ownership was a symbol of stability or making it.
A house meant security, a car meant status.
But for China's younger generation, those symbols are shifting fast.
Why tie yourself down to things that age when you can live through moments that renew?
Today, we are taking a look at the rise of the rental lifestyle here in China.
These days, more and more young people in China are discovering that renting can be a smarter,
lighter way to live.
Not just for apartments or bikes.
like medical devices that make wellness more accessible,
or sports cameras that capture a perfect trip without breaking the bank are also happening.
So what's driving this renting boom?
Is it about saving money, chasing new experiences,
or redefining what ownership really means in the digital age?
To start with, what are the things that young people are renting these days?
Gosh, all that you can think of, right?
Like you mentioned the very necessary things that people used to own all the time like a car like a house nowadays young people they perhaps they get married and still live in rented house as a way to save save up for the future speaking of which when you said why tie yourself down to something that gets old I suddenly felt very sorry for my wife When you can keep living anew,
