231206 海底捞尬舞刷屏全网，为何叫做“科目三”？

▍原文

Haidilao, China’s largest hot pot chain, has recently offered a new dance performance as part of the dining experience across its 1,400 branches.

Videos of staff springing into the “kemusan” - or “subject number three” dance - while guests eat have become the latest internet sensation on Chinese social media. The routine is widely believed to originate from a wedding dance in the southern Chinese region of Guangxi.
