📚 Cultural Fragments | 内容亮点
• 为什么南京人爱吃鸭？ Why are Nanjingers obsessed with duck?
• “徽京”：南京在乱斗省中的位置
Nanjing’s awkward glory in chaotic Jiangsu politics
• 南京摇滚：缓慢的爆裂与不温不火
When people talk about rock, they think Beijing…
Nanjing sits quietly in-between — a city of underground fuzz, rebellion, and restraint.
From the bittersweet anthems of Li Zhi to the post-punk fuzz of Cold Street and PK14…
说到摇滚，人们自然会想到北京。与北京相比，南京从来都是一座很难躁起来的城市。这个城市由于介乎南北之间的地理位置而显得有些尴尬，对于前卫的外来文化这里保有最大的包容，但当这些外来文化真正在这里落地生根之后却又大多变得不温不火。

Let’s meet there —
in soup, in sound, and in stories.
