When Chongqing Hotpot, a Chinese movie came out in 2016, it drew attention to a less noticed part of the city—a former bomb shelter (防空洞). Today, the places serve for a different use—for businesses.
In the movie, the hotpot restaurant is located in one shelter. According to the government, more than 200 shelters have been rented out for other uses, including as gas stations, restaurants, museums and book stores. Dongting Hotpot has been operating for 32 years out of a bomb shelter in Yuzhong district (渝中区). Deng Hong, the restaurant’s owner, said that although he has two other restaurants nearby, many customers still line up for hours to eat at the shelter one.
Deng took over the business from his aunt, who first rented the shelter and changed it into a restaurant in 1986. The rent was lower than other places and the structure was good to store pickles (泡菜). “We never expected the restaurant would be this successful. The flavors and the chef, who is almost 60, are just the same as they were on day one,” Deng Hong said.

【推荐3】Body language helps people know what is really going on inside someone’s head. A small movement of the mouth or nose can show much about persons’ feelings. Here are some basic movements and their meanings.
First, shrug shoulders (耸肩). This means “I don’t know” or “I don’t mind it”. If your friends shrug their shoulders when being invited to a party, it shows they are not very interested in it.
Second, keep fingers crossed (交叉的). It shows wishes for good luck. Before people take exams, they often cross their fingers in the hope of good grades. Football fans do the same thing when they wish their favorite player will score a goal.
Third, rub chin (摸下巴) . If someone rubs their chins, it often means they don’t believe what someone is saying! So if your friends make this gesture, it secretly tells you how they feel.
Fourth, scratch head (挠头). If your foreign English teacher scratches his head when you ask a question, then he might not understand what you said. Either that, or he can’t remember your name!
