The weather is getting colder. People are wearing their winter coats, hats and gloves. But best of all, now is the time of year to wear qiuku!
Qiuku has many names in English. Some people call it long underwear. The formal (正式的) name in English is thermal (保暖的) underwear, or “thermals” for short.
But the most popular nickname is “long johns”. Some people think they are named after the famous British boxer (拳击手) John Sullivan. He wore clothing like long underwear while boxing. However, no one knows if this is true.
US people wear long johns too, but they're not very popular. Every home in the US has heaters (暖气). So you don't need to wear warm clothes indoors during winter. Most people also think they are not very fashionable to wear. But some people have to work outdoors during the winter. They need to wear long johns. Children also wear long johns to stay warm during the winter.
I love to wear long johns too. I wear them at home all the time during the winter. They are comfortable and relaxing to wear.
