The hip social trends of 2024!

In this podcast episode, the hosts delve into the changing social and leisure habits of young people in China as we move into 2024. They highlight the emergence of "zero-sugar socializing," where fleeting online friendships form around specific events instead of the traditionally valued long-term connections known as "Guanxi." Additionally, they discuss the growing trend of night schools offering a variety of hobby-based courses, as well as enhanced public bathhouses featuring amenities like buffets. These shifts point to a culture increasingly focused on casual interactions and diverse recreational experiences, moving away from the pressures of rigid social expectations in favor of personal enjoyment and exploration.
