What's the hottest social activity this spring? For many young people in China, it's going foraging with friends.
Going foraging is like a treasure hunt. It is a simple activity with a lot of fun! It does not need expensive tools. With just a pair of scissors, a basket and some bags, you can have fun in nature. You look around in places like forests and lakes to find different kinds of plants that you can eat.
Going foraging is a new way for young people to connect with nature. They can spend many relaxing hours walking around in the wild. "Being in nature takes my stress away and I feel full of energy again," said Lin Shan, a student from Beijing. To avoid eating "dangerous" plants, they have to do some research on different kinds of plants before foraging. This way, they know more about plants.
Young people also get connected with others by foraging. On the online lifestyle sharing platform, the topic "digging wild vegetables" has over 200 million views. Over 890,000 users share their own "wild vegetable maps" with others. Young people from Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou even team up for group adventures.
What's more, working hard to get plants makes them feel happy and sweet. They can also have fresh and healthy food for dinner at home!
"Going foraging for wild vegetables may be dangerous," said Shi Jun, a plant biology expert in China. "But for many, the real value of this activity is the joy it brings and the deep connection with nature."

You may soon get high - quality milk and sausages(香肠) without spending too much money.
During Chinese president's state visit to France, the two countries put out a joint statement on agricultural exchanges and cooperation(农业交流与合作的联合声明) on May 6. It hopes to speed up the journey "from French farm to Chinese dining table".
Since 2012, the French company Lact'Union Group has been producing high - quality milk and selling it to China. The company's CEO Alexandre Zeitlin told *People's Daily* that China is one of the "most valuable markets".
To ensure(保证) product quality, the companies work closely with local farmers. The farmers keep records for each of their cows. Cows are milked by a machine that also cleans them. The milk is then heated up at the factory to kill germs(细菌), making it safe to drink.
It is then sent to Shanghai and Zhejiang. The factory also started making small milk packages(包装) popular with Chinese buyers.
The amount of sausages Sacor, a French company, exported to China grew from 10 tons in 2019 to 60 tons in 2023. With the new agreement, Tournois, general manager of Sacor, hopes to introduce more French agricultural products to the Chinese market. One Chinese government officer told *People's Daily*, "We all agree that the trade protectionism(保护主义) is the wrong choice(选择). This joint statement will make a win - win on both sides."
