Struggling to Slack

上岸

Overview

After graduating, Nana encountered setbacks in the job market in big cities. He naively thought that returning to his hometown to take the teacher's exam would bring him a stable life. However, he repeatedly failed the civil service exam. While waiting to take the exam again, he worked as a substitute teacher and gradually realized that "lying down" was harder than working hard. Intergenerational conflicts became his reason for venting. When the job market became a competitive environment, seeking stability became a collective anxiety for a generation. He finally shed his self-justification and admitted that there was no way out after repeated failures. The following year, he became a teacher through a talent introduction program. He found that his colleagues were also there for "stability". The so-called "getting a job" was just another way of being tempered in reality.
