But due to theoutbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), many Chinese people arechanging their eating habits.Due to busy work schedules, o rdering simple and quick meals online used to becommonplace (寻常的) for many young people in China. Zhang Xiaoyan, a 30-year-old from Nanjing, Jiangsu province, was one of them. She typically ate in the office andseldom cooked at home on weekdays. Even on weekends, she would prefer takeoutfood. But amid the NCP outbreak, being trapped at home for an extended (延长的)period has changed her eating habit. Now, she rolls up her sleeves and cooks for herself. “Cooking by myself sometimes is quite time-demanding, but it helps me have a healthydiet,” Zhang told China Daily.Instead of eating at fast food chains or restaurants, cooking at home has become anationwide trend. Some even regard sharing food videos on their WeChat Moments atmeal times as “a special way to say hello to each other when face-to-face dinner is not possible,” noted China Daily.Apart from cooking at home, many also eat separately and adopt (采用) the habit ofusing serving chopsticks and spoons, or gongkuai and gongshao in Chinese.Influenced by collectivism (集体主义), communal eating habits have been a part ofChinese culture for centuries.

So many cities in China, including Beijing,Shanghai and Guangzhou, have already launched initiatives (倡议) for people to orderseparate meals.“Healthy eating habits and maintaining good order have become real issues for us.It’s related to people’s health and safety, and it’s also a personal responsibility du the pandemic (大流行),” noted Guangming Daily.
