GLOBALink | With enough to get by, are young people "lying flat?" Xinhua 06 Jun 2021, 20:05 GMT+10 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.
