9 viral phrases that explain Chinas work culture

In China, the culture of work has changed radically over the years. Alongside those changes came a whole array of viral phrases, forever immortalized in the lexicon of the Chinese workplace. What are those phrases, and how have their meanings shifted? Why do China’s entrepreneurs, who once wanted to “jump into the sea” of the private sector, now aspire to “swim ashore”? Why is the phrase “996,” once glorified by tech workers as a symbol of hard work, now declared illegal? Burned out by an endless cycle of competition, what does it mean for someone to “lie flat,” “run,” or “let it rot”?

In 1992, Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping embarked on his renowned “Southern Tour” to Guangdong province, calling for accelerated market reforms. The Chinese people began to leave their stable government jobs for the booming private sector — a process that became known as xia hai or “jumping into the sea.” The phrase, which once referred to women engaging in prostitution, now described those who pursued the daring path of the entrepreneur. Soon, everyone was taking the plunge: Party officials opened restaurants, professors moonlighted as corporate consultants, and an English-language teacher named Jack Ma quit his job to start an internet company.

Machu Picchu Reopens After Month-Long Closure
Machu Picchu Reopens After Month-Long Closure
Iberostar Selection Miraflores is a centrally-located five-star hotel—it’s just two blocks from the malecón promenade above the Pacific (many rooms have views of the ocean) and a short walk to the main square in Lima’s popular Miraflores neighborhood. The hotel has multiple sustainability policies, including no single-use plastics, thorough recycling programs, and filtered water stations on each floor. The 214-room hotel is popular for its rooftop tapas bar next to its infinity pool for watching the sun set over the Pacific and for its ground-floor Ortega & Huaman restaurant which serves international and Peruvian dishes, including ceviche made with sustainable fish.
