Have you heard of dazi ? Have you ever found a dazi? Finding a dazi is popular among young Chinese people. A dazi is a person we eat with, study with, exercise with or take a trip with, but we didn't know him or her before.

The dazi culture is about finding the right person to do the right activity with. Xiaoyue, a young woman from Ningxia, has met many dazi because of her love for basketball and biking. Having a dazi not only gives her company but also helps her enjoy sports more.

         .As for close friends, we need to stay in close contact （联系）. With a dazi, you don't have to do so. Many dazi may not meet again after a trip or a game together. So, many people believe having a dazi makes their social life easier and more comfortable.

Finding a dazi shows that young Chinese people want clearer boundaries（界限）in their social relationships. Dazi will not talk or ask a lot about their personal lives. And they hope that these relationships can let them share their hobbies and interests, or that they can help them to improve themselves.

Although finding a dazi has many good points, we should be careful and put our safety first.
