At the beginning, it was only for young people. But since a few years ago, it has become very popular for everyone. It is very diverse.

FANG ZHENJIE - In China we have a saying: we must concentrate on one thing, what we do, if you do many things at the same time it is not professional. It is like a factory. (05:01-05:14).
