(Slow Chinese) 中国的外卖员 - Chinese Delivery Drivers
A slow narration about food-delivery riders in China. It covers stories of riders helping strangers, the two big platforms (Meituan and Ele.me) and why takeaway is so popular. It then turns to riders' pay and pressure, plastic waste, and graduates taking the job, and asks whether robots or drones will replace them.
