Coffee bars, live music, cinemas and shopping malls—Chinese cities offer everything that a young person might want. But there are many young people who hardly have time to enjoy these things. That’s because they follow what is called the “996” work schedule (时间表)     1     at 9 am and finishing at 9 pm, six days a week.

A lawyer called Cui Zhendong told China Daily that it is against the     7     to use a compulsory (强制的) “996” work schedule. China’s Labor Law clearly announces that workers should work no more than eight hours a day     8     more than forty-four hours a week.
