In China, Winter for Northerners vs. for Southerners

Snow has been falling across the country recently.

Weibo and WeChat Moments are flooded with images of snowy scenes.

Just feel the vibe

This is how people in the north play with the snow.

Ah as a southerner, I'm so jealous

People living in the north may be used to it. But we southerners have been stunned. After all, in the extreme "snow poverty" in the south of China, even just a little bit of snow is a treasure.

In China, provinces belonging to the northern region include Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, eastern Inner Mongolia, Jiangsu Zhongyuan Guanghua district, Anhui Zhongyuan Guanghua district.

The south includes: most of Jiangsu, most of Anhui, most of Zhejiang, Shanghai, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, most of Yunnan, Guizhou, eastern Sichuan, Chongqing, southern Shaanxi, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, Hainan, Taiwan, the southernmost Gansu, the southernmost Henan, covering about 25% of the country.

In the winter of the north part of China

yet in the south part of China, in winter...

Snow man in south vs. north 

When southerners see snow, 

they can’t help but

Southerners won't miss any snow.

Even if it's only just a bit of snow, southern friends also post on their Moments to show off.

Many southerners feel dissatisfied, especially when some from the south go play in the snow up north.

People who live in the north may think, "southerners, 

that's how we like you.

So cute, but I feel a little bitter in my heart.

To satisfy the children of the south who have never seen snow, 

friends in the north immediately found business opportunities.

One netizen posted on her Moments:

"I can make a snowman for southerners. RMB 52 for one. Hahaha.

RMB 888 for live streaming. I can make whatever style of snowmen that you want." 

At first, she was just kidding. 

But one friend did actually transfer the money to her.

Southerners don't give up easily: 

"I can carve characters on cockroaches to let you see."

(Crystal murmur: the cockroaches in the south are soooo big and they can fly, I scream every time they fly into my house....)

(We published a related article on them: Unbelievable Home Remedies To Kill Cockroaches)

To keep the hard-won snowman, southerners are really racking their brains.

The refrigerator is a good choice.

So cute!

When we Southerners shiver in cold and wet weather, 

Northerners smile without a word, because they have heat!

Southern homes usually don't have heat.

Cold in the south is a magical attack!!!!!

It takes courage for southerners to undress in the winter.

Prepare well before going to sleep.
