In a recent episode of Flowers and Youth Silk Road Season, a travel show broadcasted by Chinese TV station, Chinese netizens have been engrossed in a discussion about marriage, culture, and customs in Saudi Arabia. The episode featured the team visiting the country to seek answers to some long-standing questions posed on social media platforms like Weibo years ago.

The buzz started when one of the most popular Chinese celebrities, Diaria Li, shared a video from her recent trip to Saudi Arabia with her fans. In the video, she discussed how some curious questions from years ago suddenly popped into her mind, such as whether it's possible to marry four wives in Saudi Arabia, as posed by Liu Jiawen in the movie "21 Carats."

The video sparked a heated discussion among Weibo netizens, who shared their thoughts and opinions about the matter. Many expressed curiosity to learn more about the culture and customs of Saudi Arabia. Some also found humor in Liu Jiawen's question, which ultimately led the team to visit the country for an answer.

"Hahaha, Riyada's strange curiosity is passed down from WeiBo video. Riyada wants to marry four wives!" wrote one Weibo user. "Fate has arrived!" said another.

The episode of Flowers and Youth Silk Road Season provided answers to these questions. The show aired for 12 hours, with an audience of over 80 million, and its online full-length viewing share ranked first on the whole network. This further fueled the discussion among netizens who were excited about learning more about Saudi Arabia's culture, customs, and the impact China has made in the country.

"The confusion of Liu Jiawen's question in 'Ha ha meng hui 2.1 carats' was finally answered in Saudi Arabia," wrote another Weibo user. "We really look good and harmonious, interesting with jokes that can increase knowledge and experience to appreciate the beautiful scenery and customs in different countries, feeling China's impact on Saudi Arabia... After seeing the second episode teaser, we can't wait to watch the game project of Flowers and Hills Group in the second installment."

However, some netizens were cautious about seeking answers online, as they knew that some questions could be easily misinterpreted. "Do not seek answers on the Internet if you have sensitive skin. The question can be maliciously interpreted, really xfxy," wrote one Weibo user in a cautionary tone.

The discussion on cultural differences and the exploration of Saudi Arabian culture has become a hot topic among Chinese netizens. It is interesting to see how social media can provide a platform for people to engage in discussions about topics they are curious about, while also learning more about different parts of the world through travel shows like Flowers and Youth Silk Road Season.
