ant tribe--Is that you?

Thread Content

(From Chinadaily) They are post-80s individuals who came to Beijing to start businesses with dreams in their hearts; they are \"weak yet strong\" people like ants. They face more worrying challenges than ordinary people, have young and fragile hearts, as well as unfulfilled youthful dreams. They reveal the pain, helplessness, and uncertainty of a whole generation. “The “ant tribe,” this massive and cannot-be-ignored group, has drawn widespread attention from society. Please read the report in China Daily: In their 20s, they have come to Beijing to pursue their dreams. They are called “ant tribe” by Lian Si, who has written a book with the same name based on his interviews with these people. They came to Beijing in their twenties to chase their dreams. Lian Si interviewed this group of people and wrote a book with the same title, Ant Tribe. The term “ant tribe” mentioned in the text refers to those university graduates who earn meager incomes, work in unstable jobs during the day, and live at night in makeshift houses in the urban-rural fringe areas. They share many similarities with ants: high intelligence, small size, and a social lifestyle; hence they are called the \"ant tribe\". Currently, most Ant Tribe members live in the Tangjialing settlement village for college graduates, located outside the North Fifth Ring Road. They even saved up on the transportation costs for the New Year to eat together at the Lunar New Year dinner. Unlike the ant tribe, the NEET group does not pursue further education or seek employment, spending their days idle. And some employed young people have become part of the moonlight clan or the working poor. To stay fit, some office workers give up using transportation and join the ranks of walking commuters, but they are not necessarily cool carls (people with high education and incomes who live frugally). In today’s fast-paced world, many young people have become part of the flash marriage group or the flash cohabitation group. But not everyone wants to lead a fast-paced life; the lifestyle of those who prefer a slower pace is also gaining popularity. In pursuit of personal development, some individuals who have already achieved considerable success in their home country decide to give up their jobs and become part of the \"flying fish\" group – a special group of Chinese people who have attained notable success at home but choose to abandon everything to pursue their studies at renowned universities abroad. Internet trends are everywhere, and flash mobs have also become a new fashion trend.
