In recent years, we have frequently come across negative Chinese neologisms such as "lying flat," "involution," and "slacking off." Behind these words lies the disappointment of young individuals unable to meet their own developmental expectations. Ultimately, this collective sense of disillusionment stems from the misalignment between public perception and the changing times. Over the past two decades, China's development path—focused on labor-intensive manufacturing and embracing an export-oriented economy—has shaped specific patterns in education, employment, and personal growth: attending prestigious universities, choosing majors like economics, management, finance, or law, which are widely regarded as "promising," and, after graduation, taking pride in civil service exams, public institution positions, or employment in "big tech companies." However, the world today is increasingly diverging from the Western-dominated global order of the past, making the success stories of previous generations difficult to replicate. In this new era, how can Chinese youth break free from "involution" and explore their own value?
