"Tang ping" (躺平) is a Chinese term that describes a lifestyle of rejecting societal pressures to work too hard. It's also known as the "lying flat" movement.
What it means
A rejection of the 996 working hour system
A simple lifestyle without striving for material success
A form of social protest against inequality
How it started
The term originated from a post on the Chinese internet forum Baidu Tieba in April 2021
The post described the poster's lifestyle of not working full-time and not intending to get married or buy an apartment
The post included comments like "Lying flat is my wise movement"
Why it's controversial
The term has been criticized by state-owned media because it opposes effort-making, which is valued in Confucian culture
However, it can also be seen as a form of resistance to social and organizational inequality
Similar trends
In South Korea, some young people have given up on dating, marriage, and having children
In Japan, some young people have lost interest in materialism and embraced minimalism

解释 摆烂,破罐子破摔的意思。 是指当事情已经无法向好的方向发展,于是就干脆不再采取措施加以控制,而是任由其往坏的方向继续发展下去,与破罐子破摔词义相近。



1、意思不同:躺平指接受已有的现实,是一种顺从的心态,摆烂是因为当前已经预见到了未来坏的结果,而不去做改变;2、语境不同:躺平是中性词,摆烂通常指的是贬义的;3、结果不同:躺平是当前的条件已经足够好了,对其也没有更高的要求了,摆烂是因为可预见的是糟糕的结果而放弃,结果注定不好。

Our parents time 600k toto can buy u a condo and a hdb probably. 3 room cost 150k to 160k in my area up until around 2008

I think 400 to 500k can get condo.

If u win 1m u can buy 1 additional pretty ok car for under 100k. Means u can still tour the world, come back and rent one of the hse out just tang ping and be very song if u rly want to waste ur life doing nth.

Should just present these facts to the fucking govt. Honestly im damn buay song damn. U all just lool as this from factual pov. Dont talk abt what gambling is bad, live within ur means kind of shit and derail the topic. This is what pap always does.

All these are fucking facts that pap fail to address. Quality of life is 100% getting worse

The inflation for past decade is indeed scary

Inflation is definite so I won't really compare stuff that happened eons ago. Our grandparents and parents era 20c can buy a bowl of noodles, now is $4 or more. Same for other stuff

However, gov always say inflation and price increase is in tandem with salary increase wtf! Last time fresh grads getting $2.7 and hdb 4room is <$400k. Now leh? Simi tandem?!?

When COL is under their control, they dun want to control. When things are beyond their control, they blame it on global issue

We are fucked

I calculated before.

Last time toto first price $600k is enough for bbfa. Just get a 2room hdb for <$200k then invest the rest and work some brain dead job

Now also same just that toto first price is now $1mil and hdb 2room price also up but idea is the same

Its not just inflation but pap fucking profiteering to jack the hdb price up and not controlling it + importing foreigners.

Simply blaming on inflation is easy way out for them like saying global trend blah blah.

Our lives is rly worse than our parents in terms of real wages. Altho my parents were born ard war time 1942 1943 so talk abt luxury indeed we enjoyed more but they can actually retire and we cant.

What abt nxt gen?
