China’s art and entertainment scenes are in flux — emerging voices, boundary-blurring practices, and aesthetics as politics. Together, they form a sharp lens on shifting cultural currents, which we’ll be highlighting throughout the month.

Unitree’s newest robot dog, the As2, just arrived... and it’s already living in the uncanny valley. It plays tennis. It can carry up to 65kg. It sprints at 11mph over rocky terrain with a gait that people are already calling “nightmare creature” energy. And honestly? They’re not wrong.
Under the hood, there’s an 8-core CPU and an intelligent follow system that tracks you with centimeter-level precision. Developers can even hook it up to AI models for who-knows-what experiments. Cool? Absolutely. A little unsettling? Also yes.
The As2 handles stairs, slopes, extreme temps, and half-meter vertical platforms like it’s nothing. Rain or shine, this thing keeps moving. It’s fast. It’s strong. It’s smart. And watching it run down a mountain feels like watching something from a sci-fi thriller where the machines finally decide they don’t need us anymore.

March 3rd is Lantern Festival. In China, lanterns have always been about making wishes, passing down wisdom, and imagining the future. But recently, Big Mac joined the group chat in a creative way.
@mcdonalds partnered with @bazaarchinaofficial and heritage inheritors to bring four traditional lantern designs to life. But what actually caught people‘s attention was what happened offline.
After you order a burger, you can read the wishes that strangers left. Some are sincere. Some are painfully real. Of course, some people got creative about it.
It’s kind of interesting to watch brands collaborate with intangible cultural heritage like this. It keeps bringing more young people closer to the culture. And the designs are always beautiful.

There is not much of a storyline, mostly just free exploration, with limited ways to interact with objects. Basically, this game only shows footage of millennium China. But countless people who finished it came away feeling deeply moved.
Because with the rapid advancement of technology and everything around us, it seems like anything you want can be reached within 30 minutes. Millennium Dream (千禧梦) goes in the opposite direction. Here, there are no intense battles, only a quiet, still gaze at time gone by.
Sometimes you just want to spend an afternoon waking up inside a dream, finding yourself back in the millennium era, while parents call from the kitchen to say dinner is ready.
Feeling nostalgic just writing this post.

In China’s fastest city, the slowest market just came back. It only sells the oldest things: the kind of place where you find books, prayer beads, ink paintings, and someone else’s family portrait from decades ago. But it is pulling in more of the youth than anyone expected.
Fu You Tao Bao Mall collects the deepest memories of old Shanghai residents. It functions like a flea market, but beyond the Chinese shushus and aunties, a new crowd has started showing up...young people setting up their own stalls, or quietly hunting for something that belonged to their parents’ era.
The market is becoming a reference point for younger generations rethinking what slow, material, and rooted culture means in a city that rarely slows down. The appeal is less about the objects themselves and more about the mood they carry: a resistance to the scroll, the algorithm, the digital transaction.
Just remember: it only opens on Sundays.

Rotterdam goes hard for Chinese New Year, and it’s been doing so for over a century.
The connection dates back to 1912, when Chinese dockworkers arrived in the city during a local strike. Many settled in the Katendrecht neighborhood, forming one of Europe’s oldest Chinatowns. When jobs dried up, they opened restaurants and supermarkets, eventually blending with Indonesian migrants to create what’s now known as toko culture.
Today, the Chinese community here celebrates twice, Dutch New Year and Lunar New Year. Dinner tables feature bitterballen next to spring rolls. Lion dances snake through city streets. Arthouse cinemas screen classics like The Joy Luck Club and The Farewell. Museums host mahjong tile workshops.
What keeps a thousand-year-old festival alive thousands of miles from its origins? Generations of cultural practitioners who refuse to let tradition fade.
