In recent days, the temperature in Hulunbuir, an area in northern Inner Mongolia, has dropped to -43.8 degrees Celsius. This is the lowest temperature recorded in China this winter. Meteorologists also predict that this will be the harshest winter in the world's most populous country since 2012. The cause of the above phenomenon is the influence of the La Nina phenomenon and cold air mass flowing down from the Arctic.

Inner Mongolia is one of the harshest climate regions in the world and the coldest place in China. The record cold has changed people's lives to some extent. However, children here have to adapt to life in the freezing cold. During these days, people in the area mostly stay at home and limit going out. Driving on slippery roads is difficult. Even the trash cans on the side of the road will be heated before being dumped, to avoid the case of trash freezing at the bottom of the can.
