Today was the first day back from vacation, so I thought that I'd ask the kids what they did during their holiday.
"I went to the countryside" – was the overwhelming response. Even most of the adults I asked said they did this.
But what exactly happens in the countryside? I HAVE NO IDEA. I literally could not get anyone to expand on what going to the countryside means.
Do you visit your family there? Is there some sort of resort or orchard? Are there just thousands of Chinese people standing around in an enormous field? What happens in this mysterious "countryside"?
Nobody could tell me. Or maybe nobody was allowed to tell me.
The only conclusion I can make is that it is clearly a secret. Foreigners must never learn what happens there.
