Love how you connected these ideas together in this very insightful post! It’s fascinating to me that both 情绪消费and 理性消费/平替coexist in the same consumption universe in China. I’ve been thinking a lot about the profound emptiness, or the prevalence of the idea of”空心病”hollowness fits into all of this.
It’s fascinating that themes we are speaking about in the West in terms of changing consumer habits already have coined terms in Chinese. Popular culture is so poetic there.
