Lying Flat
"Lying flat," or 躺平 (Tángpíng) in Chinese, emerged as a notable cultural phenomenon in 2021, symbolizing a rejection of societal pressures to overwork and overachieve. It encapsulates a personal stance against the relentless demands of modern life, particularly epitomized by the 996 working hour system in China. Choosing to "lie flat" signifies adopting a more passive, low-desire attitude towards life. It represents a conscious decision to prioritize personal well-being and contentment over the competitive rat race.
