Topic 1-Shall we stand on the right-hand side of the escalator no more

 

We've all been taught to have consideration for others. In school, teachers tell us to walk on the right-hand side and reserve the left-hand side for our pedestrians¹; on the road, we drive on the right-hand side for the same reason in China.

 

However, this is no longer the case on an escalator. Severe wear and tear of the right-hand side of escalators has put people's lives in danger. Recently, many big cities in China have removed the signs of indication on escalators.

 

Topic 2-Users can hide their Wechat moments from half a year ago

 

Wechat, the popular social media platform in China, has added a new function to the app earlier this week. One of which will enable users to hide the history of friend circle also known as Wechat Moments, from half a year ago.

 

Apparently², social media freaks are lovin' it. Why?

 

Topic 3-Single population and blind dates in China

 

Spring Festival is that time of the year for family reunion. Also, it is the time when mom and dad harass³ and terrorize grownup-kids who are single over their relationship status.
