Understand the difference between needs and wants. Just be sure you can provide for your needs when you get old.

It almost sounds like it is year 1964 over there and the Chinese hippy movement has discovered Henry David Theoreau. And maybe it is OK if you misspell an occasional word cause perfection is not necessarily completely important.

“Is there any more rebellious act than to simply ‘lie flat?’”
In China, especially, I would think that act of rebellion might lead to premature death.

“Careers”
Factory work with very little pay. Not quite slave labor(unless you’re an Ughyur), more like crop-share farming pay.
I guess they’re not liking the “you’ll own nothing and be happy” thing?

Same thing as the Japanese and hikkikomori, but worse.

Not so different from the lying low that Russians and Eastern Europeans did under Communism. Nobody wanted to attract attention to themselves. Succeeding meant accepting the party line and subordinating oneself to the government.
It also has some relevance to us as well. A lot of people opt out of high pressure careers to devote more time to their families, and that's becoming more common now with the mandatory wokeness and political correctness. People who would do anything to become doctors or lawyers in their twenties would do anything to get out in their fifties.
We have an ambivalence about success, celebrating achievement, dedication, and self discipline but deploring the ruthlessness and compromises that often go with material success.
