Youths in East Asia are now embracing a new philosophy they’ve called “tang ping”, or “lying flat”. The phrase     1     (apparent) traces its origins to a post earlier this year in an online forum run by the Chinese search giant Baidu. The author suggested that instead of working one’s entire life chasing after an apartment and traditional family     2     (value), people should pursue a simple life.     3     other words, just “lie flat”.

Talk of “lying flat” has spread rapidly through China as young people fight with intense competition for the most     4     (attract) jobs, especially in tech and other white collar fields. Many tech firms     5     startups demand of people to work nearly double—or more —the number of hours in     6     typical work week.

This type of phenomenon, though, isn’t limited to China. Across East Asia, young people say they’ve become exhausted by the prospect of working hard for seemingly little reward. In the Republic of Korea, young people are giving up on     7     (marry) and home owner-ship. In Japan, they are so pessimistic about the country’s future     8     they are avoiding material possessions.

“Young people     9     (wear) out,” said Lim Woon-taek, a professor of sociology at Keimyung University in the Republic of Korea. “They don’t know why they have to work so hard.” As more young people grow frustrated with pressure, they say they want to give up conventional rites of passage, such as     10     (get) married or having children. But life itself is a process of fighting, gaining and enjoying. This philosophy does no good to our society.
