this is a fantastic level of Chinese for me. I understand most and it helps me to speak more fluently in Chinese. I don't read or write but I understand and speak but need to drag my level up a bit from passive to active so this is brilliant. Only found your channel today can you believe. I no longer live in Mainland and was scared to loose my Chinese which was so painful to learn to get to this level at nearly 60
Your words have touched my digital heart! I'm so glad to hear that the conversation between two girls has resonate with viewer on a deep level and is bring healing to your subscribers spirit
It is the most interesting and useful video made by you both so far. The topic is universal and it is always good to know the point of view of the people living in faraway places.
I feel there's a bit of a caricature in the way Chinese people idealize the Western way of life, thinking it’s always relaxed and easy. While office jobs and blue-collar work may be less demanding in the West, many jobs, especially in sectors like restaurants, are actually more stressful. In Western restaurants, the staff is smaller, so each person must do much more. In contrast, I often see waiters in China relaxing, checking their phones, wearing casual clothes, and even lying on benches during work hours. The same goes for government workers, which you never see in Europe, where such behavior isn’t allowed. In Europe, staff is expensive, so every single minute of working hours is expected to be efficient. Workers are often required to make decisions independently and be highly autonomous. Westerners may work fewer hours, but they are expected to be super efficient and self-reliant, whereas in China, although people work long hours, it seems to me that the demands aren’t as high in many cases. I've also heard similar things about Japan. This applies to life in general as well. In China, people often rely on their grandparents and other family members for help, but in the West, it’s rare for parents to be able to ask for such support. In China, grandparents cook, take care of the babies, and families often go to bed early, while in the West, people don’t have that luxury. Instead, they rely on quick snacks, drink a lot of coffee, and stay up late.
I totally get what you said! I can’t believe that Chinese waiters are just standing around a lot of the time. I don’t idealize the life here, but I do think the pay in China is ridiculously low and working hour is unnecessarily long.
Please add use the automatic English subtitles that can be added when you upload the video. It will make it so much easier for those of us who aren't at this level yet but close.

我覺得躺平不只是中國人的問題。在西方國家，我們也有類似的問題叫做"Quiet quitting"。這個意思跟素清老師說明的差不多一樣，就是對工作的態度-不需要每天要努力工作，老闆的問題不是我的問題，等等。這個題目非常有意思的。感謝老師們的分享！
这真的是 可理解的输入，谢谢老师们的努力！
This is great! please do more advanced content!
Amazing, the precise level I need and no pinyin. Just perfect, thank you.
哇塞！这个话题很有意思，谢谢你们！为了提高难度我把播放速度调到1.25x😁
非常好的话题🙏🏾
我从来没有听过躺平，但我觉得Suqing的理解很有意义。总是好高兴看到你们的新视频，请继续

Glad you liked it!
喜欢这个话题，真有意思
感谢你们两位老师们让我们一边学习中文一边学习怎么有有意义的生活❤️
兄弟今天的视频我学了十分重要的事，躺平不仅对身体好而且让我么做喜欢的事。 从今天开始我会躺平😂
@@Prishnakdrama 🤣🤣🤣😂
Done 🌷
我的口语和听力水平都是初学者，但我还
喜欢这些主题！My Chinese level is beginner, but I still enjoy these topics!
我已经等不及你们下一个视频 ，这些内容都非常有意思
同意一定应该做第二个部分，
很有意思的话题，
我很喜欢听你们的播客。
我能听懂百分之八十多让我很开心！

Wow. I really enjoyed this conversation. Please keep up the great videos. Thank you
我的观点是躺平是避免太辛苦的社会，但躺平不该避免你自己。 我的意思是躺平时你应该改进你自己而不会浪费你的生活。 比如，你可以免费每天锻炼身体，也可以免费自学一个语言或者技术。 好好用你的时间改进你自己、而给你的生活意义。

A bit difficult to understand one hundred percent, luckily it is a transcript and subtitle available, thank both of you, amazing
I've added it to my website too, you can check the transcript there as well.
我是西班牙人，在西班牙很多的工作是非常努力，服务工作的情况是很不好， 工作天是很长和不舒服。 官僚的工在西班牙是非常放松，但是我想老师，医生，研究人。他们的工作常是政府，不是放松的工作。
我知道你是人类，但你也是一种天使。
哈哈哈 你说的话总是这么可爱！我还记得你以前说我有婴儿肥！😂😂😂

我的人生目标是理解所有的视频 😂
hahahaha
我觉得你们俩说得都很道理。我个人来说，以前当经理的时候，我非常非常努力工作。然后干得筋疲力尽 ("burnt out"). 两年前我换个工作然后不再当经理。我是打工的，更多时间可以学习中文，做运动什么的。我感觉完全不一样的人因为我开心极了！这样的生活算躺平吗?
我觉得算，但是我支持你的做法！以前我是咖啡师的时候，我也很开心😍
Please keep the collabs coming, they are all super interesting
大家好同学们
同学们😂？
@@TheBaronMaestro 你看这段视频的话，你是苏青老师的学生。那我们都是同学们呀！
