what is a "partner"? The network explains it as "a relationship in which people regularly carry out activities together." Friendship is everywhere in life, after all, everything can be built. After , "partner" means something that individuals can't or don't want to do alone. Find a stranger to do it together, return to their respective lives after the cooperation, and partner again next time because of something.
Some people say that "partner" is a kind of "fast-food friendship" with low nutritional value, which reflects the potential "degradation" of modern people's emotional ability. Although this kind of worry is consistent with Xiang Biao's judgment that "modern people pursue immediate satisfaction", it is not entirely true.
Perhaps, "taking a child" is a brave attempt by young people to get back to the "neighborhood", reaching out to explore social relationships suitable for this generation and perceiving the beauty of life in another way. Isn't this a kind of social progress?
The picture was "pigeon" by my friend, and I found a "travel partner" online.

Because I found a high-quality "travel partner" online, I had a high-quality and cost-effective travel experience.
I submitted my resignation application before the Spring Festival, thinking that I would just take my annual leave and take a relaxing trip before joining my new company. I had an appointment with my friend in go to dali, but the day after I bought the plane ticket, my friend "pigeon" me.
considering that the refund will be deducted, I decided to go to go to dali as planned. But after thinking that playing alone is boring and expensive, and I can't even order more dishes for dinner, I began to post on a social platform to find a "travel partner".
"I beg my peers in Dali. I am a 94-year-old Guangdong girl. I don't care about hygiene. I don't want to go to online celebrity to punch in. I want to relax and enjoy the natural beauty. I can fight for accommodation and rice together." In the post, I exposed my basic information, travel rhythm and air ticket itinerary. There were nearly 3 comments on the day the post was posted, and many people privately believed me. After a simple screening, I added 4 or 5 people's WeChat.

We had a very pleasant trip. Because we are going to three places, she is responsible for accommodation and transportation, and I plan the specific itinerary of the day according to the accommodation location, and we have a good deal with each other. We try to choose attractions that are of mutual interest. If we can't reach an agreement, we will act separately and go back to the hotel at night to discuss the arrangement for the next day.
fortunately, our travel rhythm and consumption concept are close, and the week-long trip is relaxed and comfortable. It's time to leave soon. After a week of getting along, we have changed from "partners" to friends, and AA's bills are only counted after the trip.
I spent a week in Dali, including round-trip air tickets, accommodation, transportation and meals. I actually spent less than 3, yuan, and we all thought it was a great travel experience.
Look at the "exhibition partner" in the picture. I stumbled into an "activity group" by mistake.
Fang Fei | 25-year-old student
"It's really difficult to find a friend who can keep up with the schedule and is interested in activities!" While lamenting loudly in my heart, I posted the post "Looking for a partner in the whole food exhibition" with one click on the Internet.
At this moment, I thought that I had seen various "looking for a partner" posts posted by many people on the Internet, so I decided that I might as well "give it a try". "What if I find a" looking for a partner "?"
after writing the exhibition time and plan on social platforms and posting, I put my mobile phone aside. Unexpectedly, when I came back from lunch, there were already more than a dozen likes and nearly 1 comments below the post. Many people sent invitations to watch the exhibition together in the comment area, and I couldn't get back to the news.

I didn't expect that posting on the Internet could really find a partner, and the number of partners quickly "shocked" me. In less than half a day, there are already five or six friends who match my schedule. Finally, in order to facilitate contact, I had to temporarily pull a "contact group for watching exhibitions".
And the "Contact Group for Watching the Exhibition" that I set up by mistake, after the exhibition, there are also small partners sharing all kinds of exhibition information. Now, we have made an appointment for the next exhibition schedule in advance, which is ready for long-term boarding.

In March this year, I accidentally went to Guangzhou on business. At 5 pm, I was still standing at the door of an old Cantonese-style morning tea shop that was crowded with people, listening to the number that had been called to 3 people, and looking at the number in my hand, I had nothing but worry.
While stomping my feet and thinking that I would have to wait at least an hour, I was drooling over the variety of dishes on the menu. While lamenting that "one person can't taste several Cantonese dim sum", my eyes glanced at my little sister who was obviously alone behind me. After a moment's hesitation, I blurted out, "Why don't we spell the table together?"
At this time, it happened that a waiter shouted loudly in Cantonese at the front desk, "There is a big table on the terrace in the smoking area. Does anyone want to sit?" My little sister and I looked at each other and nodded again and again. After a while, we were lucky enough to avoid "long queues" and have a large terrace table that could not be arranged for single dining.
as soon as we sat down, we first stumbled to learn from the "Laoguang" in the back table and washed cups and bowls with tea. And thanks to the blessing of "taking a child", I can also let go of "trying" the Cantonese-style refreshments that I am longing for.
In the end, while searching for popular dishes on the food sharing platform, the two of us exchanged "Guangzhou knowledge" and ordered 7 or 8 kinds of delicious food, including shrimp dumplings, Danish barbecued pork buns, steamed dumplings and gelatin milk, which filled a table. Thinking that if I order food alone, I'm afraid I can only order two or three samples, I feel even more lucky to meet a "rice partner" in Guangzhou!

Chuchu | 27-year-old freelancer
Two years ago, when I was in college in California, I planned to go to new york for a holiday from California because of the epidemic.
In the departure lounge from California to new york, the girl sitting opposite me was talking on the phone in Cantonese. After she hung up, I got up the courage to ask, "Hello, are you from China?"
after a brief introduction, I know her name, and her name is Selena.
Although Selina has only been to new york for a few months, she is a very clever "humanoid map", which just complements me as a road idiot. "new york is an avenue in the north and south, and a street in the east and west, and most of them are named by numbers, so if we get separated, you just need to remember which street we agreed on, and you can find it. Don't be afraid." During the introduction trip, if I accidentally get separated, Selina told me.
unexpectedly, this experience really came in handy.

Life is like a journey. Occasionally, you will meet some people who meet unexpectedly, and even if you go your separate ways in the future, you will still feel very comfortable when you think about it.
Why?
