It’s 2023 now. A photo of a bulletin board (布告栏) showing the history of the “2-yuan” meal at Hangzhou Normal University has recently become popular on Chinese social media. The board shows that the university canteens started offering the cheap meal 18 years ago and has never put up the price.

The idea for the meal came from a discussion with students who were only purchasing a bowl of white rice and depending on free soup for their everyday meals. Some students also talked about the difficulties that some of their classmates had feeding themselves. The university wanted to find a way to solve the problem. They decided to set up a special window offering the “2-yuan” meal for poor students. 

The meal includes a bowl of rice, one meat dish, and one vegetable dish. The rice is refillable (免费续的), and the canteens also offer free soup. Every day, the university sells an average of 1,200 bowls of the meal across its four canteens at different campuses (校园).

Though the campus moved many times and ever had a hard time, the price of the meal hasn’t changed. It has become a tradition on campus and can be found at every canteen, no matter where the university moves.
