The top buzzwords of 2020 in China have been announced and, not surprisingly, many relate to Covid-19 and its impact on people.
“People first, life first” took first spot on the annual list compiled by literature and art magazine Yaowen Jiaozi . The term was used by Chinese President Xi Jinping before the National People’s Congress in May as the country fought the pandemic.
Another popular buzzword was “sacred beasts”, a term coined by frazzled parents trying to control their unruly children when schools closed and the country went into lockdown .
“The year 2020 has been a rough year because of Covid-19, and this year’s list of 10 Chinese buzzwords has been largely influenced by the fight against the pandemic, the country’s economic recovery, and people’s lives amid Covid-19,” the magazine wrote.
