Nowadays Zibo barbecue (烧烤) is an important part of Zibo’s food culture. Zibo also sets up a barbecue association (协会), makes a barbecue map and holds barbecue festivals. The government held the first Zibo Barbecue Festival successfully on May 1, 2023. It showed people the famous barbecue stores, wonderful performances and beer exhibitions (展览).

Zibo barbecue is quite different from others. Unlike the northeastern barbecue, Zibo barbecue has its own feature (特点) : small skewer (串), small cakes and small onions. This is its special way to eat. We call it “soul eating”. The barbecue is still a barbecue, but when the barbecue meets the small onions and the small cakes of Shandong, the feature of Zibo barbecue has become clear enough. The oven stands for the temperature, the small cake stands for tolerance (包容), the small onion stands for openness.

Give yourself a trip without plans. It’s the choice of many young people today. The earliest to drive Zibo barbecue is the group of college students. Taking the weekend high-speed train to Zibo for barbecue has become so popular among them.

Zibo barbecue has become Zibo’s new calling card. It not only offers a chance for people to relax themselves, but also shows the kindness and warmth of Shandong people.

Do you argue (争吵) with your parents about making your bed or cleaning your room? Are your parents angry because you use the Internet or play with your friends outside all the time? Even if your parents love you, you may fight with them at times. If your answers are yes, then our new Family app can help you a lot.

With the Family app, students and parents look at family arguments from both sides and solve their problems together. Usually, kids who fight with their parents learn to get along with them in the end. The app gives you advice and helps you get on well with your parents. It also helps your parents to understand you better.

How does it work? You read different kinds of problems and then choose an answer from different options (选项). The app tells you why the answer is the best and why the other options aren’t so good. For example, you’re preparing to go out with your friends, but your parents want you to visit your grandparents. Do you say “We always go there on the weekend. I’m going to play with my friends outside today.” or “OK! We can go there today, but I’d like to play with my friends outside tomorrow.” The first option doesn’t make you or your parents feel good, but the second option makes everyone happy.

The Family app is very useful. It can help you live an easy life. Do you want to have one?
