@@javiergonzalezlopez10from my opinion, I think this "lie flat" movement isn't as big as it seems, because otherwise the nation would already collapsed, buuuuuut... If you let it be, future youngs will follow and the movement will grow, and if keeps going on... It will become a big issue
@elduquecaradura1468 I say why should the youth card for the big issue when the society is made to exploit them If they're enjoying lying flat life then more power to them Nobody cares about them but only to enrich their lives in this sick society
I never went to school, always worked the fields with my parents, learned to read and write on my own, never felt anxiety or uncertainty about my future because my parent's farm was my future and I still work it now, and it feeds a large part of the nearby city where people are anxious all the time for their future. I will never understand city people when they work all their lives just to spend all their money on a house in the country in the end, when they could have just started here to begin with.
I think there's an appropriate middle ground here. When you eliminate unreasonable housing costs , high food expenses and all this nonsensical consumerism, you eliminate the need to work all the time. Ive gotten down to 3 days so far without touching my savings Thankfully you can grow and batch cook your own food and sell the excess locally to reduce that 2nd one, and anyone can do the 3rd one....the 1st one however isn't something the government is too fond of....and will actively go out of their way to stop and thats not a china issue, thats a government issue
As much as I will jump at most chances to critique the CCP, this is a very reasonable take. Seeing it here locally too, where people decide to move away from the city centre and move closer to a rural area where they can get a bigger home with a decent plot of land. Especially since Covid made hybrid the norm it is a nice deal to do the 1 hour back 2 days a week to get away from the insanity of the urban jungle.
@@KevinInPhoenix Sorry for the misunderstanding, I had modern village life in mind. Using machines for farm work, instead of working manually. Ofc it's still physical labor, but much better than farm work from middle ages.
did'nt xi tell them to do this, move to the countryside and farm, so yeah the ccp should'nt have any issue's with this, people just need to stop talking about lying flat because that can be seen as opposing the ccp but other than that this is exactly what the ccp wanted from its people is'nt it?
The government has drove the country into the ground. Youth retirement is an escape from the pressure of failed goverment. Like a ton of pressure on your shoulders grinding you into the ground with no future but hard overbearing work. No matter what you do you are eternity poor. Escape is the only obsession.
Have you looked at where those boomers ended up? Creating the society and technology that allowed you to freely criticize them. Lmao. Prideful ignorance….
Actually some are. Sure, some people have overly idealistic views of how to do it and get it wrong. But there's quite a few that still exist today. There's also plenty of people who also live on their own fully self sufficient.
The desire for a batter life is universal. The opportunities to aquire a better life are fleeting. Not chasing a dream that can never become a reality isn't unambitious or lazy, it's clarity achieved.
In China, they retire around 50. You need to find other ways to make an income for the next 30 years. So.. that is why they were pushed to be living in denser cities and urban areas, and by doing so, play the flipping game... the only thing is, the late comers, didn't know which direction. Cos many cities were in first and second tier cities... But the Evergrande thing, happened to third tier cities. Some good businessmen, tried to catch those downfalls.. so that the effect is NOT as big.. but the way has been capped. So now, rebalancing for China is important... and well.. some have been prosecuted for the financial issues etc. So..... that is why, such places, are basically a "safe haven" for those individuals to stay away from the chaos. Or something to that effect.. or other...
This seems like a life without stress where humans can explore their inner self to achieve self actualization. Its a simple communal village life with the benefits of technology where everyone contributes according to their strengths. Better do do it while you're still young. I guess these people will have less stress, illness and better mental well being to live very long. 😊❤
Problem is that retiring also take considerable money. 1700 CNY a monthly fare for retirement home is not so cheap for the poor young Chinese people. 1700 CNY is higher than minimum monthly wage in many Chinese cities. You have to work hard for several months to pay for a moth of retirement life. Then what is point of retirement life? Only some lucky people who hit a jackpot of a million in young age can afford such early retirement life.
Shared housing for artists/musicians has been around for hundreds of years now. Call it a hippie house if you want. With today's world economies it's about the only option left for young people.
Remind me of "car pooling" many years ago when fuel cost went high because of wars: many people travelling in the same car/taxi to save costs, wich was the basis of what we now know as "buses" Only this case is for a living, closest thing I can recall of in my country are the called "conventillos"; wich were ideal for an urban area close the port and you could not afford living on your own, but ofmcourse, as everything in life, has it's cons
The youth retirement system still has to find financing. Do they sell vegetables or sell work when they need materials? The last situation sounds like “commune” type living. Usually they still need funding.
Not at all. Society is reacting the only way they can. When the government are so incompetent and corrupt that they can't even keep a basic economy going, then you're not exactly blessed with options. So what do you do when you can't work, can't earn money and whatever you do doesn't keep your head above water? You forge your own path on your own terms.
Añways has been like this, but I wouldn't said weird but... Different. They have an idiosincracy brutally different to our customs in western countries As deviliahdog said, is the crash of the duality of two worlds wich cause this outcome
This sounds like a great idea, more like communal living. Question; how do people pay for this without working? I've also been wondering how the Chinese in some cases go 6 -8 months waiting to get paid?
Bets this place gonna get in trouble with the authorities.... cause its a place that is too happy. Then the people with troublesome personalities would come next e.g take all the buffet items, bad drunkards, etc
Ya, I'm not buying this. So you drop out, free internet, electricity, etc. I don't know it sounds like BS to me. Where's the money coming from? They must all come from wealthy families, or they worked in finance where they ripped off other Chinese netizens.
Some Villages invested early in roads, electricity in the 70s-90s, because they had production / close access to supermarkets. This was in the Hukou era, so a lot of towns didn't have schools or government buildings, districts would have 'a school' to go to. A lot of these upmarket / productive towns turned them into tourism spots as a result to bring bloggers, tourists and holiday makers in the 2000/2010s. In the ~2010s, Some of the more upscaled / richer villages are built up like movie sets - ancient court dramas, time-period specific settings, and so on, as it's cheaper to pave a road than to build a village from scratch and fill it with farmers for a movie, so they rope the villagers in and pay them to be in the movies. Plus, they get the post-movie tourism from fans of the actors, sic. And, they often have those celebrity reality shows where they put a group of annoying 20 year olds in the pig farm and ask them to cook, start fires, spread manure, etc. Some of those districts and towns have not changed, because they have a massively lower population than they did 100 years ago. Their families rent in the cities, or the children work in the cities and return home at CNY once a year. These 'Upmarket' tourist farms are usually within car / train distance, next to tourist spots, and were built to house immigrant workers from neighbouring areas in local fisheries, pig farms, abbatoirs, et al. Effort was spent to put in Airports (sic) and helicoptor landing pads, racing courses, night clubs and hotels on the mountains, in the middle of nowhere. Usually because a local bureaucrat wanted 'investment' funds and used government funds to build 'tourism' points. Which happen to be on his family's land. Not all the farms could make it profitable, ie converting villages to towns, there's still a significant number of villages without paved roads or electricity because they're either too distant, or the profit incentive isn't there. Beijing is a good example, ~20km north of the capital city are unpaved roads and mountains, and a handful of rural villages. It's a problem because the hukou / household register is kind of backwards in intent, but it had the best of intentions at the time. i.e. most villages used the same family names i.e. the top 100 names, and your government income/land rights and property was assigned to the registered household. Now, big cities have a floating population of ~30% locals and ~60% "immigrants", who come in from these villages and towns outside of the cities.
moving to the countryside after living in a large city and saving (Chinese are much higher savers than westerners, google it) is a way to preserve capital and wait out the recession. The countryside of China is about as cheap as anywhere in the world. It would be like moving to Cambodia or Laos.
You can get free electricity from solar panels. You can get free water from wells, you can get free food from farms, and if the owner of the area is the same one that opened this retirement home, is all done. No cost.
Society and governance is a two-way street. You do stuff to contribute, and you get stuff back. When it becomes a situation where they take all and offer nothing then of course, the obvious thing to do is withdraw and make your own path.
This type of casual living is common in Europe and USA. It is not a retirement, unless you want to start to retire at early age without any work and do some casual farming for own consumption and have enough money for retirement. These few youth here are starting this business for a casual rendezous place for chat. This also commonly used in South East Asia and youth often gather at tea house or coffee shop for chat and leisure.
That's it. .why not. Government and the system has betrayed them-so opt out and enjoy life on a simple and happy way. Depend on yourselves and help each other. Return back to nature but in an abundant and productive way. Many people around the world are already doing this. End the reign of the tyrannts and exploiters. *Side note: due to the (plan)demic.

Isn't retirement meant for people with less than 30 years left? Are these youth expecting to die that earily? Or are they selling something i don't know?
man this happened to me aswell, i went to school to get a good job because the goverment prommest i would be succesfull if i worked hard but as soon as i finished school my skills where no longer needed and i was to be exploited for 30 years doing some meneal labor at a blue collar job instead of admin/economics that i actually studied for. I did the blue collar work for 11 years and got fired as soon as my health declined and my type2 diabetese set in but now im actually glad i got out early because the work situation aint getting any better but only worse over time because the boomers are only lining their pockets rather than solving the issue, they dont care what comes after them so why should we? Just let society burn, we will rebuild once the old world has died.
Am I the only one who thinks this kind of living arrangement looks stressful? It would be like going back to live in a college dorm but you’re older. I think there would too much drama and not a lot of peace even if this video makes it look very harmonious.
I like the idea. youth retirement home. if I could I would open one up. I have absolutely no ambition. I am not profit minded at all. if I could build a place like this that is self sustaining, I would. to me, the most important thing in life is happy memories. not money.
I wonder how they finance their 'retirement' from rather abusive socioeconomic conditions. They still need to eat, wash/bath, clothe, visit doctors, communicate etc. Either a steady income from a job is needed or substantial savings/yield on investments.
This sounds like a fun idea. I am single, and I have to do a lot alone. Working with a community sounds great. Also, it is kind of funny. These people think they are escaping the pressures of marriage match making from their parents, but by casually hanging out with like-minded people, they might even find someone they want to date and perhaps marry.
This is a Fantastic idea. We are forced to work our whole lifes just to afford necessities. We were ment to have real community to create and produce!!!
This kind of communal living where people essentially voluntarily live together to share the burdens and costs of life sounds like a threat to the Communist Party.
@Silks- lol these are kids with parents who can still afford to take care of them. How can a 20 something with no job pay for anything. Yet you have no problem taking advantage of the advantages the rat race provides.
Nobody will have money are you not watching the world and the World economic forum they want everyone broke and dependant on them. They are destroying the middle class atm.

so they basically just rebranded the typical "hostel" or hotel system. Extremely smart. this is not a youth retirement home, its just smart marketing
How do they pay for the retirement home?
Hostel a cut rate hostel with minimum facilities.The cheapness is real.
We have 6 months of the best weather 6 months of bad weather
I like the idea. youth retirement home. if I could I would open one up. I have absolutely no ambition. I am not profit minded at all. if I could build a place like this that is self sustaining, I would. to me, the most important thing in life is happy memories. not money.
Simpler lifestylea is always less stress
I wonder how they finance their 'retirement' from rather abusive socioeconomic conditions. They still need to eat, wash/bath, clothe, visit doctors, communicate etc. Either a steady income from a job is needed or substantial savings/yield on investments.
they are reverting back to the time of black pajamas and skinny round hats
Now this is the China I love. Great to see young people fleeing to the countryside.
This sounds like a fun idea. I am single, and I have to do a lot alone. Working with a community sounds great.
Also, it is kind of funny. These people think they are escaping the pressures of marriage match making from their parents, but by casually hanging out with like-minded people, they might even find someone they want to date and perhaps marry.
What's going on at 15:19?
This is a Fantastic idea. We are forced to work our whole lifes just to afford necessities. We were ment to have real community to create and produce!!!
Negative GDP
So basically if you work there you get to live there for almost free. Sounds amazing.
Sounds like they are trying to rebuild a commune system that actually works?
Only for rich kids .....
These kids are not only living communally, but also dining in a community canteen. Isn't that an idea that XJP was pushing?
This kind of communal living where people essentially voluntarily live together to share the burdens and costs of life sounds like a threat to the Communist Party.
This seems like therapy for young people to learn how to adjust to the outside world. It seems that they move on once they recharge.
Retire with no money😂
If you’re able to get food drink and shelter at no cost then you don’t need money. The rat race is overrated
@Silks- lol these are kids with parents who can still afford to take care of them. How can a 20 something with no job pay for anything. Yet you have no problem taking advantage of the advantages the rat race provides.
Nobody will have money are you not watching the world and the World economic forum they want everyone broke and dependant on them.
They are destroying the middle class atm.
we used to call them 'communes'.
Hopefully the government will not come and close these places bc governments need workers and slaves.
