3.1.19B《躺平》Story Walkthrough

Help us keep LCTS going and reach 200 patrons  https://www.patreon.com/learningchinesethroughstories As one of the 10 internet buzz words of 2021, 躺平 (tǎngpíng) offer a glimpse into what’s on the minds of Chinese internet users. It first appeared on the Chinese internet in June last year as a reaction of China’s youth to another social phenomenon in China — involution (内卷 nèijuǎn), or intense economic competition for ever scarcer resources. To lie flat is to choose to escape involution and high-pressure city life, to disengage from the intense social competition of China’s 996 work culture, and to opt for a life of low consumption and little social interaction. ************************************************************ If you think our podcast is valuable to you and others,  become our patron for as low as $5/month.You will have access to the transcripts, vocabulary list and patrons only episodes. ************************************************************ Are you already a listener?
