Cai Chengyu's weekly diary offers an insight into the sentiment of many Weibo users, expressing a sense of sadness at the possibility that Yidian Dot com might go out of business. They share personal experiences and observations from their daily life, including a taste test comparison between a new tea product and a street vendor's fried rod and sour-hot bean starch, highlighting the potential gap in quality between the two.
