Barefoot used to be considered as a sign of poverty. But today, barefoot exercise is accepted by more and more people as a fitness method. There are also a few barefoot people who simply choose the all-weather and all-terrain barefoot lifestyle in public places, completely abandoning the shackles of shoes and socks and becoming real barefoot people.
In addition, barefoot in China also means no formal qualifications, such as "barefoot doctors". I hope this answer is helpful to you.
