No, China's Depressed Youth Do Not Keep Cabbages As Pets

Imaginary pets are cool. I’m not knocking them down. Kids with pet rocks, you keep on trucking. What I’m here to say today is that the latest weird photos coming out China are not a trend. Lonely Chinese youths aren’t walking cabbage pets.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); It’s unknown how Western media outlets such as the UK’s Metro and the Huffington Post got this information, but over the weekend, they reported that young depressed (and shirtless?) Chinese were spotted walking cabbages on leashes. What really happened is a strange art performance that took place during Beijing’s annual labor day music festival, the Midi Music Festival. China celebrates labor day every year on May 1. The holiday is commonly known as the May Day holiday and it spans a total of roughly 3 days (4 if you’re lucky). During the holiday, millions travel across the country and various activities are held. It’s generally an all around good time. During this year’s festival, a series of young people too hip for the w69 rest of society were spotted dragging heads of cabbage on leashes. The whole thing was an art project by Chinese artist Han Bing! Han has been walking cabbages across the world for the last 14 years! Of all the things that he could’ve walked, Han chose the cabbage. He explains the reason as such: A quintessentially Chinese symbol of sustenance and comfort for poor Chinese turned upside down. If a full stock of cabbage for the winter was once a symbol of material well-being in China, nowadays the nouveau riche have cast aside the modest (monotonous) cabbage in favor of w69 slot ทาง เข้า ostentatious gluttony in fancy restaurants where waste signifies status… Yet, for the poor and struggling, the realities of cabbage as a subsistence bottom line have not changed—what’s changed is the value structure that dictates what—and who—is valuable or worthless in Chinese w69

society. Bringing the teenaged art project to Midi this year, Han and the various people who took part told the various media outlets present that the idea of walking cabbages is to reflect upon society. According to iFeng.com, they believe that people have become lonely slaves and that their lives are tough to the point where they can’t decompress with the help of a pet. In lieu of a dog, the cabbage is the object that they can take out their feelings on. It’s easy to point out that media outlets are always looking for the w69 slot ทางเข้า next big weird China story and that certain folks who don’t read Chinese have simply jumped the gun on this one. I’m not even sure where they got their information… As James Griffiths of That’s w69 slot ทาง เข้า

Online points out, “if it seems too good to be true, and more importantly, isn’t reported w69 slot ทางเข้า

in the Chinese press, it’s probably not true.” 行为艺术“溜白菜”现身迷笛节(图) [iFeng.com] Chinese teens taking cabbages for walks to get over loneliness [Metro UK] No, Chinese kids are not walking cabbages to cope with depression[That’s Online] Kotaku East is your slice of Asian Internet culture, bringing you the latest talking points from Japan, Korea, China and beyond.
