Here are a few screenshots I gathered.

In China, passerby-perspective videos have been trending on Douyin (TikTok). Apparently, after catching a massive fish, many anglers will deliberately strap it to the outside of their cars and drive around the busiest parts of town. They’re in absolutely no rush to go home—they just want everyone to see what they caught.

Some anglers will put the massive fish in their trunk, and whenever they’re stopped at a red light, they’ll remotely open the trunk to flash the fish at the cars behind them.

To top it off, they even prepare custom banners that say something like: "Just caught this bad boy, IS IT BIG OR WHAT?!"

Of course, some people flew too close to the sun. There are cases where people got fined by traffic cops because the giant fish ended up blocking their license plate.

Usually, bragging is annoying, but this specific kind of flex just cracks me up. Honestly, if I ever catch a fish that big, I’d probably do the exact same thing.

Just came across this incredibly wholesome story on Chinese TikTok (Douyin) and thought Reddit would love it. Note: Not my original content, all credit goes to the creator YUCC. I just grabbed some screenshots.

​

After the Gaokao finally wrapped up, an art student from Guiyang No.1 High School spent a lot of time thinking about what to give his teachers. He ended up doing something amazing: he painted custom portraits of his teachers, but stylized them so the background perfectly matches the covers of the respective textbooks they teach.

​

Here is how he reimagined them:

​

- He turned his History teacher into a traditional ancient Chinese scholar-official.

- He drew his Chinese Literature teacher as a beautiful lady in a classic Qipao.

- He reimagined his Politics teacher as a stern judge. (The author only showed these three in the video).

​

For a bit of background on how the Chinese school system works:

The Gaokao is the final university entrance exam after 12 years of school (elementary, middle, and high school). It is widely considered the most important—and most fair—exam in a Chinese student's life. There is no "holistic review" or extracurricular padding. Your score is everything. If you score high enough, the country's elite universities open their doors to you.

​

The system varies by province, but most places use a "3+1+2" or similar matrix model (I've attached a chart to explain how it works).

​

This specific student went through the "Art Gaokao" track (which also includes music, dance, calligraphy, etc.). For art students, the competition in their specialized art exams is absolutely cutthroat, even though the academic test score requirements are slightly lower.

​

I also dug up pics of the Provincial Joint Art Exam. It’s absolutely wild—Extreme competition.

​

​

After surviving such an intense exam, spending his free time creating these personalized textbook-themed portraits for his teachers is just so heartwarming. What do you guys think?

It gets 100km on a full charge and goes up to 45km/h.
