Youth Seek Solace in Temples Amidst China's Economic Woes.

Young people in China are turning to temples and other religious establishments in China to pray for luck as the country's post-pandemic economic rebound falters, with visits to Beijing's Yonghe Temple soaring 530% in March and early April compared to a year ago. The spike in temple visits comes as China's jobless rate for people aged 16 to 24 is at a record high of 20.4%. The trend has been spurred by a popular hashtag on social media that translates roughly to "no school-going, no hard-working, only incense-burning."
