SHENYANG/NANCHANG, June 6 (Xinhua) Tang ping, or lying flat, is the latest buzzword trending on China s social media.
Chinese web users began to pay attention to the expression after a post was made on the online forum Baidu Tieba.
The post s author, who lives alone without a stable source of income, described how he obtained happiness by picking up temporary jobs and leading a low-consumption life.
He justified his attitude toward life by calling it lying flat.
Many regard the post as an attitude to resist the overly intense competition in modern-day workplaces.
The aviation industry has been thinking about sustainable technology for some time. As global emissions continue to soar, the need for change is glaringly clear. To this end, the industry is investing heavily in hydrogen engine technology and looking at how it could be used in commercial aircraft to reduce emissions. It's thought that if successful, this could revolutionise the sector as a whole - and make flying green an option for all.
