The new Gen Z obsession in China is called "Songchi".


The term "" (songchi gan) has taken chinese social media by storm and is more than just a vibe.


Songchi is a word that grew out of family life.


Staying cool, moving forward, and not letting setbacks shake your core is what songchi preaches.
