"Becoming Chinese" has become a lifestyle trend overseas, with many people announcing on social platforms that they have "entered a very Chinese phase of life," embracing activities such as drinking hot water, eating homemade congee and practicing mindful movement through Baduanjin.

This trend is now entering a new dimension as Chinese people's love for winter sports and memories of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics are being rekindled by the opening of the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. In their journey toward "becoming Chinese," many people overseas are wondering how Chinese people approach winter sports and what they enjoy doing during winter.
