THE POST-2000s Technology
Ms Feng and her father are from the post-2000s technology, the first of whom entered the job market in 2022, just as China and the universe were coming out of the COVID-19 crisis.
The technology has been described as having the attitude of giving up on a deteriorating scenario and living life as “lying smooth”- only doing enough to get by.
Some young people in China believe they are powerless to overcome obstacles that make societal expectations impossible.
However, Ms. Feng begged to disagree, claiming that her century is a “watershed era” and has the same goals and aspirations as those born in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as a positive attitude.
” People may think that the post-2000s technology only want to ‘ lay flat’, and are willing to go to job and are rebellious towards their bosses”, she said.
” In fact, what all has not seen is how many people from the post-2000s generation work hard and lead happy lives.”
She noted that there is a particular amount to sleep.
She continued,” My generation has the benefit of growing up in a nation that is developing more quickly.”
CHANGING MINDSET
After sharing their experiences on Chinese social press, Ms. Feng and her husband’s career path has gained popularity. It sparked heated debate on the Internet and received a lot of media attention.
As China’s market enters a crucial phase after decades of slow economic growth, numerous discussions focused on how more younger people are abandoning conventional career paths.
As attitudes toward for job change, Dr. Yu Tao, associate professor of Taiwanese studies at the University of Western Australia, predicted that the trend toward young graduates joining blue-collar positions will increase.
Usually, people thought blue-collar labor meant job having no independence, he noted. However, like in the case of Ms Feng, although the work is actually demanding, those in such tasks have freedom and can directly deal with their clients, he pointed out.
” They feel a sense of ownership of their work, ownership of their existence”, he said.
He added that the era after the 2000s may work hard to earn their respect and freedom.
