Sharing My 30 Years of Living in China: Ask Me Anything About the Real China (chinese.lol)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

30 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hi everyone and hope you're all well. I'm Chinese and I've spent the past 30 years of my life in China. During this time, I've witnessed incredible changes that have taken place in the country. Having also traveled to many other countries, I've noticed that there can be a disconnect between the international media's portrayal of China and the actual experiences of people living here.

In this post, I invite all of you to ask anything about China—whether it's about daily life, culture, societal changes, challenges, or the negitive/positive transformations I've seen. I'm just an ordinary citizen, but I'm here to share my observations and experiences in the most honest and unbiased way possible.

Feel free to leave your questions in the comments, and I'll do my best to provide insights into the real China as I've come to know it.

Haha very nice. Have you tried any chaats? Samosa chaat is my favourite North Indian snack.

is that the fried triangle? I'm loving it!!! so many spice in it. ( if it's not, then sorry, for it's a hard time for me to map the food with their names. LOL.

Yes it is lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, I believe that around 80% of the younger generation might be familiar with panipuris, if you show the pics of it, they'll say "oh i know it". CN ppl call it "the Indian Crispy Ball". It has gained significant popularity in China, following TikTok and live streaming shows. around 30% of them might have even tasted it. (I work in an international company and the number shall be even higher)

As for chaats, the familiarity might be about half of that for panipuris.

lemme find you a chinese Indian restaurant manu later. lol.

Wow, even I don't recognise some of those. It mostly looks like North Indian Cuisine (I am from the south)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

niceee, good to know. there are a lot of Indian restaurants in China, and we have no way to distinguish what kind of Indian cuisine they are.

[–] roze_sha 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
