"In China, there is a movement called “tang ping”, or “lying flat”. It’s made up of people who refuse to be pressured by modern Chinese life and the work hours system “996”, which means you work from 9 AM to 9 PM, 6 days a week."
Tang ping, or lying flat, is a movement in China where people refuse pressure from modern life and the 996 work-hours system. 996 requires working from 9 AM to 9 PM, six days a week. Tang ping followers choose to escape hyper-productive and competitive culture and renounce productivity ideology. Psychological well-being is prioritized first. Quiet quitting can be one workplace example, meaning doing only what the job demands and nothing more. Tang ping can be a permanent lifestyle or a pause to rest from society. The idea of doing nothing can feel almost criminal, especially in environments dominated by hyperachievers.
