Lie flat and relax
Young Chinese people are participating in an online social protest in droves, meant to express their disillusionment with work and hustle culture by “lying flat.” The trend of “Tang Ping” is meant to reject the culture of overwork that forces Chinese youngsters to work for longer hours with little reward. Many are frustrated with the low prospects of their jobs and their inability in the face of rising prices to afford a house ever in their lifetimes. T-shirts with slogans like “Do nothing lie flat youth” have become quite famous as a result. And experts worry that this trend might harm the economic prospects of the country. Tang Ping became a rage among the youth when a post by a social media user went viral. BBC reported that the trend of Tang Ping was being called a “spiritual movement. The idea behind Tang Ping – not overworking, being content with more attainable achievements and allowing time to unwind,” it said. In fact, a survey by Weibo, conducted between 28 May and 3 June, found that “61 per cent of the 241,000 participants said they want to embrace the lying flat attitude,”
