China Focus: Kindergarten "chefs" trigger preschool practical education discussions

In the city of Xuzhou, located amid the verdant landscapes of east China's Jiangsu Province, Xuhai Road Kindergarten produces an unconventional symphony featuring the rhythmic chopping of vegetables, the comforting sizzle of baking buns, and the gentle grind of the soybean milk milling process.

However, this tune is not the result of professional kitchen activities, but is instead generated by the culinary efforts of little chefs dressed in miniature chef uniforms. In this kitchen, young children are the stars of the show.

Such scenes have recently taken the internet by storm, with short videos capturing the impressive kitchen skills of the preschoolers. The kindergarten's account on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, has seen each clip charm audiences, garnering hundreds of thousands of likes and turning the young cooks into viral sensations.
