New ways to release pressure

What will you turn to when under pressure? Delicious food, alcohol, video games or outdoor sports?

Tufting, fluid violence bear and scratch offs are becoming increasingly popular for “Generation Z” to deal with pressure.

Tufting, a traditional craft of carpet-making, is translated as “簇绒” in the Chinese language. Players enjoyed the knitting game with a tufting gun.

“Tufting is my little trick to fend off stress,” said Zhang Mengyue, a tuft fan from east China’s Zhejiang province. Dipping into her own world, Zhang focused on the tufting gun in a quiet room, which made her relaxed a lot.

“Before the Covid, our store was visited by more than twenty on weekend, and most customers are youngsters,” said the manger of a Bejing-based tufting store, adding two branches have been opened to meet consumer demands.

Fluid violence bear is also preferred by young people. “The instant of pouring pigment on the bear is pretty good”, said a bear fan. More and more players have showed their unique bears on the internet.

“The bear is so helpful in releasing pressure that I can’t stop playing with it,” said Xiaomei, another fan of the fluid violence bear.

Scratch lottery is no longer a privilege to the middle-aged, but something really popular among the “Generation Z” members.

Lots of young people regarded lottery scratching as an effective way to relieve pressure. “Few of us won lottery in big sums, but we’ll definitely be happy with it,” many commented online.
