This episode is about a new phenomenon in China called ‘丧文化’ (sàng wén huà)/ demotivational culture — which refers to “a reduced work ethic, a lack of self-motivation” (People's Daily, 2017).  By using a vivid example from a popular Chinese talk show '奇葩说' （U Can U BiBi), the host Ada wants to discuss with the audiences about what is ''丧文化’? Is it good or bad? What should we do with it? Feel free to give comments and discuss with the host. Music: https://soundcloud.com/mlynxmusic/toptracks https://www.purple-planet.comSupport the show

Ada's Podcast 三水驿站

Something about Demotivational Culture (丧文化) in China.

This episode brings audiences a new angle to see the world's biggest online shopping event — Singles'Day/双十一/Double Eleven.  Singles'Day has been held by Alibaba since 2009. This Chinese e-commerce giant successfully turns this shopping event into a national frenzy in China. The sales volume of Singles'Day this year reached 268 bn yuan, around 30 bn pounds. However, what about those behind the data?  After this frenzy, the Post-90 in China has been labeled as 'exhausted'. How come? Is this true? What's the life of the younger generation in China? The host Ada won't give you 'correct answers' to these questions. Instead, as one of the Post-90,  she will show you some unique and creative understanding of this group.  (Music: https://www.purple-planet.com)Support the show
