Is that true? 刘娜: Yes, it’s true. Nowadays, 'renting instead of buying' is very popular. For example, you can rent a high-end camera for about 30 yuan per day, and the photo quality is great. 优子: Wow, that’s so convenient! In Japan, people also rent clothes and bags, but I didn’t expect that cameras can be rented too. 刘娜: Yes, it not only saves money but also avoids the problem of unused items. Some people just want to take photos during holidays, so renting is much more cost-effective. 优子: I think this kind of lifestyle feels relaxed—you don’t need to own everything, just being able to use it is enough. 刘娜: Right, this reflects a new consumption mindset among young people—‘a light-burden lifestyle’. But before renting, it’s important to check the credibility of the business to avoid being scammed.
