Hi

Everyone

And welcome back to happy hour

欢迎回来

九九 A Hi

Allen

Hi everyone

So alan have you noticed a new trend on chinese social media called 青年养老院

Which directly translates into young people's retirement home

I've heard of it

But because i don't be quite

Understand the idea so basically in china

Like young people in a lot of countries

Now yeah

Agast the whole economic downturn

Young people are under a lot of stress

Yes from family

From work

From stress

Yes

So instead of you know young people used to going out and month clubing

Yeah

They are opting for a slower peaceful lifestyle

They would go to the countryside

And probprobably just like stay in the countryside home for a while

And just reading gardening

Relaxing

Doing things that usually older ing would do that's actually

I know because you're old inside online

You're seven year old inside well apprently going to this

I'm kind of very very hit and trendy yeah

This ah be heaven for you exactly so that sort of idea i would say probably have responsito a whole burnout

Yeah

就是那种职场倦怠

Burnout means it just share exhaustion from all the stress

Yeit's about reject in the rat race seasony um

You want to take a break from all of the stress and the worries of kind of what it's like to be trying to start a career

Trying to start a life in a big city or nowadays

You said try to start a career

Now i think it's just keeping a head buft water water

Really

Ah it's just like trying to get by yes

Struggle to survive

Now

Rat race you say that as well in english

You know that basically how we would translate nent

Yeah

I would say nagent has a very specific cultural connotation

Like rat race is mostly what oh say is always for work

嗯

It's always the idea of why we say rat races

Because it brings to mind people on the underground of the subway

Um that almost like rattrtronic go from one part place to another

Oh

So you're saying that for example

If it mom petition of his mom competing yesing their kids grades

That's not really call the rat race

No no the here we can jant everything

Yeah

No i no no john

Well can also mean school and education

Well it was rat race

Doesn't have that same meaning

It's more work

Yes ah the difference between obviously red race and healthy competition is red race is ultimately futile and medless

Yes um

But enough about that

This is a push back the whole 青年养老院is a push back to this whole red race

Is what young people do when they feel burnout and they want to recharge

然后instead of going out drinking clubbing like probably their older generation

Would now they opting for quint countryside living

Okay

Yeah

I could understand that and to be honest that

It's a trend

You see a lot in

嗯

The uk and other parts of europe and north america

Oh

You do have the trend of slow living

Oh Yeah

就慢生活

Ah or escape to the countryside is that a phrase now escape to the counyside is actually atv show in the uk

Where you have young couples

They try to find the cheaper house in the countryside is acart a new life

There wow some slow tv material yeah

K it is ythe count show yeah

Better way

There's also the concept of slow tv

Yeah

Like you don't have all these plot twists

All these thrills

You just have things like all creatures

A great and spot

Yeah

We talked about countryside life exactly and the idea of slow eating as well that people are not eating fast food

That spending time cooking out a meals

And so on um slow living trend

And also i've even got friends

Who are exploring lives off the grid

And like going so far as in trying to be completely caught off from modern technology for like akk or even monmonth

Yes

So this is a little bit like a digital d talks

嗯

But much longer 嗯

We talked about digital d talks before

就是数码戒断

数码解读

I don't think i can do that no well it's what a difficult in our jobs

Yeah

I will go back crazy within twelve hours

Within twelve four

Well want an be able to do my job

Yeah

What is it like in the uk

Do you see that trend

Do you hear people talk about it

Well Yeah

I would say it's bit difficult be be off the grid in the uk

But we do talk about digital detalks

But also there's a sort rejection of consumerism

So people want to follow a more minimnalist way of life

Um that sort of like waste

Not want not well

Yeah

You want to live with few possessions

Ons to beyond

I think that's also use the concerns about the environment as well um so all of these and usually linked in the uk and other countries to things like the environment climate change

People want to have slower way of life

Also to protect the environment as well as politize their mental health

Yeah

Is a push back against rampant consumerism

Yes

这是一个对消费主义的反击

Do you know this whole trend has affected fashion as well

Yeah

You know that there's something called cotttacore

I only only heard about it from you just before is episode

So you know a lot of the fashion translately are called something something core like norm core

然后you also only heard that for me

That's fine

Yes

I looking at what you're wearing

I know you don't know anything about fashion why anyhow cottage core 就是时尚界近些年来经常喜欢用什么core 什么core

Cottage core is a style

That is more like the new countryside trend

好像叫什么新式田园风

就碎花裙子呀

什么 You

You basically kind of like a trendier version of a farm girl

Yeah Okay

Idealisistic version of a farm girl

Oh Ok ay

I see so tytype woman that was going to sort

Make

Make her own jam

That tytype day make her own jam

Milk curon cow ookay that's a bit excessive

Yeah

I think in many countries in the world

People are embracing that idealized version or idea the concept of a countryside of acquainant simple living countryside

Well yeah

As a breit you guys have that build in

Well yeah

That's always been a huge bub of our culture that love the countryside

It's not really because we hate the cities

Well

It is actually because we also hate the cities

But there's always been that idealizzation of countryside

By the way

You know the opposite of participating in a rrtrrace is mpmping okay line flat is that how you translated directly well to be honest

It's now becomin a word uenglilish

It's mostly used about china

But i've seen it in articles

In the news

And they say flfluusually inquotation mox with an explanation what it means

嗯

But i think with the whole sentiment around the world among young people who are pushing back at these whole consumerism

This intense fierce competition

Yeah

Maybe this it will become the new you a long time no see it

And they would just be borrowed into the english language

Probabably be everyone be lying flflvery soon yeah

Absolutely tely one expression i've heard

And i talked about in buzword is the idea of quite

Quitting

Quite quit ting eye

Yes like you're quitting

But not telling your boss yeah

So you just do the bad minimum

Yeah

You're slacking off journal 带薪摸u sing

Yeah

So you seely 已经quit

只是你老板不知道

Yes

Exactly like more you

I always love that phrase

That's probably translate more like so all slack off yeah

Take a break

嗯 Okay

So to end today's discussions

Let's share some expressions like we talk about all these presceplelet's today they're used

Yeah

In day today expressions for example

I would say alland i feel so burned out

I need a break yeah

I can understand that um

When you say again

When you say you feel burned out

It's like a candle

Yeah

You literally feel like you can no longer bird yeah

You got no energy left what's so eyou got nothing else to burn um

And it's not just a common tightness

It's complete physical and mental exhaustion yeah

And you can also saif example

I'm into slow living now no

No rush

No stress

Now this is i would say very important

Because lows and loof people loads of chinese learners translate yari into pressure um

But it's more stress

It's more stress

Stress is more psychological yeah

Um pressure is the world gives to you stress

Ses how you feel yeah

After the world gives you pressure yeah

For

For ample ple wouldn't say ah i feel pressure

We would say i feel stress yeah

Stress is more like an emotional and psychological response yeah

Pressure exactly and perhaps people say i don't want to live in the rat race anymore

So many people say now nowadays yeah

嗯

And the thing is you can also see this example

London lot

W people coronwful to live in london

Anymore

And they don't want to live in london

They want to go somewhere

That's quieter

That's more peaceful

And also cheaper as well

Because ultimately

What is the point right in places

Yes

London right like beijing

Shanghai

Yororthey they have opportunities yeah granted

But they also have much higher cost of living

Yes

So whatever you earn in london

In shanghai

In ijjing

So don't it it away

You spend it there no um

And as i said some people moves the countryside to live off grade

嗯after great yeah

Or you can just say that i'd love to try slow living or live that soft life

I like this soft life yeah

Come comfortable life with no pressure no stress

Just tea books and nature

嗯

So to finish today off alland can you actually do that

Can you actually escape to the countryside

You know enjoy slow loving

I like the idea of it

But i know for a fact that i woulbe able to cope that um for example

If i have a day off

I enjoy it for a few hours

Like just read in a book

Having a coffee

But then eventually i'll start working

He started panic

Well i think it started panic

But i just mean that i end up working

I end up designing a new course or doing some more episodes i do work

And that's because i can't relax for more than probably six hours

Also anything more same here having tried living in those english or german countryside was supposed to be slow living

And have two days that's more than enough to drive me completely insane

Oh Yeah

The day goes on forever d

Yes

It's like time has stopped

And it's not a nice feeling for me not at all

Yeah

Completely agree with out

I am so into the hussele and puzsel of big city

Yeah

I completely agree with that

Yeah 是

But i mean that is us

I know a lot of you might appreciate the quietness and a quite nature of of country living

Leave us comment in the comon section

And tell us how you feel about the idea of 青年养老院

Would you appreciate that kind of idea escaping to the countryside

Or put in a request for any other topics
