Overweight men From China's Lost generation walking around in public with their bellies exposed. These men will roll up their shirts halfway up their torsos in order to expose their distending midriffs. They do it to flex their status in society as not starving.
When I came to China I wondered why all these old men had their shirts rolled up and fat belly's exposed, but I learned that it is just a way for them to flex the status to their neighbors that they are well fed. Eventually foreigners just started calling it the Beijing Bikini and it stuck. Seriously, it's a thing, google it.
