After more than a decade of large-scale demolition and construction in China, you'll notice that all cities have become the same: one Wanda Plaza + one Wuyue Plaza. Next to the plazas, there are always these stores: xx Duck Neck + Mixue Bingcheng + Luckin Coffee.

Newly built communities like Country Garden, Vanke, Poly, China Overseas, China Resources, and Greentown are distributed on both sides.
Downstairs are uniform pharmacies, Meiyijia supermarkets, Barbie Mantou, Sha County Snacks, Lanzhou Hand-Pulled Noodles. In places with open space, elderly men and women push strollers and walk their children during the day, and in the evening, square dancing music plays punctually.
The old city has been developed into snack and food commercial streets, always serving the same dishes: loudspeakers shouting about Changsha stinky tofu, Northeast grilled cold noodles, Taiwanese hot dogs, grilled gluten, squid skewers, fruit salads, handmade lemon drinks, wolf tooth potatoes, and roujiamo. They sell the same small goods imported from Yiwu: fans, Buddhist beads, bracelets...
Walking on the street, you occasionally encounter a sign: "The wind that misses you has blown to xx, I miss you very much in xx." From time to time, a few short, chubby girls dressed in ancient costumes walk by, taking photos at check-in spots.
No matter where you go across the country, it feels like staying at home without stepping out, as if in this modular world, a piece of code is constantly being copied, pasted, and inserted! Rigid, dull, and lifeless!
