In recent years, there has been a gradual increase in the number of Chinese people who advocate the idea of "不再躺平" (no longer lying flat). This concept, which originated from the rise of the young generation's pessimism towards the future and the society, has been a hot topic in Chinese society.

The term "lying flat" (躺平) refers to choosing to give up on achieving career success, living a mediocre life, and resisting mainstream values such as the pursuit of wealth and social status. In other words, it is a way of escaping from social pressure and expectations.

Why has this mindset become trendy among young people today? There are many reasons behind it. Firstly, China's high-stress educational system has created a fierce competition for limited resources which makes many young people feel powerless and hopeless. Secondly, the economic situation also means that even with great effort, it can be difficult to reach prosperity as the income gap between the rich and poor continues to widen. Thirdly, the social structure in China makes it difficult for young people to find a balanced work-life schedule and a healthy way of interacting with the world around them. All these problems have contributed to an increasing number of people feeling cynical towards the idea of working hard to achieve something.

However, those who advocate the concept of "不再躺平" believe that giving up is not an ideal solution. Instead, it is better to face reality, look for one's interests, and carry on with one’s life. People who support this idea believe that we should not abandon hope but that we should continue to work hard to achieve our goals, no matter how difficult they may seem.

To put it simply, "不再躺平" is a mindset of perseverance and determination. It encourages people to take responsibility for their own lives, pursue personal growth, and strive to do what they love. Instead of passively accepting their fate, people who support the idea of "不再躺平" believe that it is essential to take action and work towards a brighter future.

In conclusion, the concept of "不再躺平" reflects the inner voice of many young people in China. They can no longer tolerate the pressure imposed on them and the well-known path of hard work, saving money, and pursuing success. They want to live a more meaningful life, rather than just surviving. This mindset encourages people to realize their potential, create their values, and contribute to society in their unique ways. "不再躺平" is not about rejecting the idea of success or the pursuit of wealth, but rather about challenging the traditional path to success and defining your path through life. It is about believing in one's ability to overcome obstacles and make a difference in the world.
