One of the Northeast’s “eight oddities”: pickling sauerkraut in big and small vats
东北八大怪之大缸小缸腌酸菜
What it is
A three-minute rural video from northeast China on one of the region’s jokey “eight oddities” (八大怪): every family pickling Chinese cabbage into suancai, a sour sauerkraut, in big and small earthenware vats for the winter. On-screen captions frame it as a childhood memory.
Why it is trending
Suancai is a winter staple of the northeast, the base of dishes such as pork stewed with sauerkraut, and the video plays to nostalgia for growing up there. It peaked at No. 58 on Bilibili’s site-wide chart.
The most-liked comment is a memory of the old craft of mending cracked vats: one viewer recalls a repairman who broke his family’s vat and had to buy them a new one.
