A new trend (趋势) is taking over TikTok (Douyin). In many videos, young Western people are holding mugs (马克杯) of hot water and bowls of warm porridge. What’s going on? They are following the new trend called “Turning Chinese”.

This new lifestyle is influenced by traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese people are quite familiar with it. But for many people in the West, these habits are new. Young people all over the world are now falling in love with these simple and healthy habits.

So, what does it mean to “Turning Chinese”? First, say goodbye to ice! Instead of ice-cold drinks, people are drinking warm water with honey. They believe warm drinks are much better for the stomach. For breakfast, they choose warm foods like vegetable soup or boiled apples rather than cold yogurt.

TikTok creator Emma Peng from China is excited to see this trend. She feels proud that her culture is helping others live better. On Chinese social media, many netizens (网民) are also cheering for this trend. They see it as a bridge between different cultures.

But it’s not just about food. This trend is about respect. Instead of just copying, fans are asking questions like, “When is the best time to eat this?” They want to learn the true meaning behind the habits. “I’m having so much fun with this!” one fan shares. It shows that the lifestyle from the East is exactly what the busy world needs.
