      Youth Retirement Home

      青年养老院

      · Everyday China

      "A Retirement Home... for YoungPeople?!"

      Yes, you heard that right. The "Youth Retirement Home" (青年养老院) isn’t anursing home full of teenagers playing mahjong. It’s a hilarious nickname for a slow-living lifestyle young adults in China are embracing to escape big city burnout.

      Why hustle when you can sip tea, readbooks, and take naps in the countryside like a wise old soul? And--no dentures required. 🦷😉

      📺 Watch the full episode todiscover this relaxing, quirky trend—and learn a bit of Chinese along the way!

      你听说过“青年养老院”吗?这个词听起来有点儿奇怪——养老院不是给老年人住的吗?那为什么年轻人也要住进“养老院”呢?

      其实,“青年养老院”并不是一个真正的养老院,而是一种新的生活方式。越来越多的年轻人,特别是在大城市工作、生活压力大的人,开始选择去一些安静的小城市或乡村短住几天,过一种“像老人一样”的慢生活。

      在这些地方,他们不用早起上班,不用加班加点。他们可以早睡、晚起、做饭、晒太阳、散步、读书,甚至学习做陶艺、写毛笔字。没有社交压力,也没有KPI,只有慢慢的生活节奏。这种生活让人放松,也帮助他们重新思考:自己想要怎样的生活。

      有人说,这是一种“逃离”,但也有人说,这是一种“自我疗愈”。他们暂时离开快节奏的生活,是为了更好地回到生活中去。

      所以,下次当你觉得太累的时候,不妨也试试“青年养老院”的生活方式,也许会有新的发现呢!
