Why Chinese People...

Outsiders usually notice the behavior first and ask the culture question later. This section is for those first questions: why hot water, why thermoses, why no iced drinks, why so much attention to warmth, and why these habits can look strange until you understand the worldview underneath them.

The goal is curiosity with context. These pages are not about exoticizing Chinese life. They are about making familiar Chinese habits legible to readers who have only seen them on social media.
