Can the two sides coexist? Quote In fairness, prior to late 2022, most Chinese wouldn’t get it, either. That’s when the “Full-time Children Work Chat” group popped up on the popular social media platform Douban. Within months, it had attracted thousands of self-identified “full-time children” who’ve embraced “a new kind of non-workplace lifestyle.” They have no formal employment; instead, they perform chores for their parents or keep them company in exchange for an allowance and free rent. The initial response in some corners of the Chinese internet was envy. Viral videos from a handful of full-time kid influencers depicted an idyllic life of late mornings, home-cooked meals, afternoon tea, and taking their parents square dancing at night. But those experiences are the exception, not the rule. Most group members describe a more prosaic existence: cooking and caring for their aging parents in exchange for room and board — all while trying to navigate a historically bad job market.

Randy W Posted August 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Why Chinese HATES One Syllable Words Mandarin Chinese HATES one syllable words, and it's pretty interesting how this ended up happening.
