The younger generation seems to be giving up on participating in the rat race:
They're now embracing a new philosophy they've called "tang ping," or "lying flat."
The phrase apparently traces its origins to a post earlier this year in an online forum run by the Chinese search giant Baidu. The author of that now-deleted post suggested that instead of working one's entire life chasing after an apartment and traditional family values, people should pursue a simple life.
In other words, just "lie flat."
