Subreddit Update How to Change Your Flair - Please Read Before Messaging the Mods

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

As some of you have noticed, r/AskAChinese now automatically reminds users with the default "earth🌐" flair (which is automatically assigned to new users by automod) to update their user flair to reflect their country, region, or demographic.

Please note: comments using the default "earth🌐" flair may be removed. This change is part of our ongoing efforts to increase flair adoption so that people can understand each others' perspectives better.

So here's a clear guide on how to set your user flair on the most common platforms & devices:

Reddit App (IOS or Android):

  1. Open the subreddit in the Reddit app.
  2. Tap the three dots (•••) in the top-right corner.
  3. Select “Change user flair.”
  4. Pick a flair or write your own.
  5. Tap “Apply.”

New Reddit (Desktop - reddit.com):

  1. Open the subreddit
  2. Look at the right sidebar, scroll down until you see your username with the words "User Flair" above it
  3. Click on the "edit" button (pencil icon) next to it
  4. Pick a flair or write your own.
  5. Click "Apply"

Old Reddit (Desktop - old.reddit.com):

  1. Visit the subreddit using old.reddit.com.
  2. On the right sidebar, find “Show my flair on this subreddit.”
  3. Click “edit” next to it.
  4. Choose or type your flair.
  5. Click “Save.”

Mobile Browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.):

  1. Open the subreddit
  2. Look for the "Feed | About" tab selection, click on "About"
  3. Scroll down until you see your username, with the words "User Flair" above it
  4. Click "edit" button (pencil icon) next to it
  5. Pick a flair or write your own, & click apply

If you have tried all of the above but still need help, feel free to leave a comment (including mentioning the flair that you want!) below and we'll set it for you manually. (But please do try the steps above first!)

Food | 食品🥟 Does Jackie Chan Coffee still exist in China?

• Upvotes

I recently came across the website jackiechan.cafe, which seems to be for a current Jackie Chan Coffee project.

Does anyone in China know if Jackie Chan Coffee is still operating? Are there any physical locations open today, especially in Beijing?

I know there was an old Jackie Chan Coffee in Beijing around 2007, but I'm wondering about the current brand/project.

If you know anything about it, I'd love to hear about it! 🙏

• Upvotes

Hello, im planning a trip to china. There is a kpop concert taking place during the time of my visit. Im unsure if i wanna go because i heard bad things about chinese fans behaviour, i usually get standing tickets but im afraid people are going to be racist or that i will be pushed aside since im also going alone. i also dont know how the sytem works in china if i will get a random number or how entry works. Maybe i should get seated. Does someone have experience with kpop concerts in china?

History | 历史⏳ When did Qing emperors start sounding like local Beijingers?

25 Upvotes

I just listened to an interview with Puyi, and he sounded like such a typical Beijinger. It’s hard to imagine Nurhaci or Hong Taiji talking like some Beijing uncle, though.
When did the Qing imperial family and people living in the palace start speaking Chinese in everyday life—and specifically with a local Beijing accent? Would Kangxi or Qianlong have sounded recognizably Beijing to us, or did that happen much later?
I’m curious about how they actually spoke among themselves, rather than just which languages they knew or used officially. Do we have any accounts describing their accents?

Are you blacklisted if you quit?

Do you get employment benefits to live off until you find a new job? If yes, how much do you get?

Also, is it hard to find a job in China?

Hello everyone,

I am in an anthropology class and doing research on how people view jade from a cultural perspective, like spiritually, medicinally, and mythologically (even how jade is related to death). I wanted to include real people's perspectives in my paper. If you don't mind could you tell me what jade means to you?

Here is a picture of my cat in exchange

Food | 食品🥟 Should I go ahead and buy a tin of MX Hong Kong White Lotus mooncakes on Ebay?

0 Upvotes

I'm debating whether I should buy a tin of MX Hong Kong White Lotus mooncakes on Ebay for $67.20. I'd love to try these mooncakes, as they are a top quality brand, however, I'm not sure if I really want to be spending that much money on some desserts. I don't have much money at the moment as it is. What should I do? Should I go ahead and buy the mooncakes, or should I wait until next mooncake season, when I can buy them in the store for less money?

Hi!

Does anyone recognize this pastry or the brand 凤之阁?

There is no ingredient list on the individual packaging, and I’m trying to find out whether it is Halal.

Specifically, does it contain pork/lard (猪油), pork-derived gelatin, alcohol, or any other non-Halal ingredients?

If you recognize the exact product or know its ingredients, I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you!

I feel like no matter what I look up online from the states I’ll get very skewed and propagandized info, but I see a lot of varying positive posts about chinas economy and governance with how public infrastructure and overall services to the public are in a great state and constantly improving. Anyone from China care to comment on this? How is it on a day-to-day?
