What does a "perfect vacation" look like? For many Chinese travelers, it involves a 20-parameter beauty filter and a hidden stash of instant noodles.In this episode of Da Shu Mandarin, Ben, Can Shu, and Richard dive into the fascinating (and often hilarious) reality of how different generations of Chinese people see the world. From Ben’s mom bringing "Lao Gan Ma" to Europe, to Can Shu’s "sacrifice" for his son at the airport, and Richard’s endless duty as a photographer for aunties with silk scarves—we’re stripping away the filters to show you the real deal.
