996 mindset only worth it if you're a self-employed person or an employee with big salary. The cold hard truth is that bailan mindset is more suitable for those who are stuck in dead-end careers, or low salary rates. And they find peace in spending their time doing what 996 people will do eventually, they're just there earlier because they realize they can't go up the career ladder nor do they have big salary and they don't want to be taken advantage of by people who'll enjoy their extra efforts without paying for it(like career promotion or salary hike). Bailan shouldn't mean to look like a bum or lazy about self-care though. While dressing comfortably is okay, you can still look like a celebrity in photoshoot with cool shirts or fashion.

The 996 working woman as an Insurance Agent as we know is probably as usual brainwashed by their own firms for their "motivational talks" and we all know insurance is basically a legal MLM. As a small business owner myself, there is a delicate balance to both Bailan and 996. There are things that I would absolutely go 1000% for, however there is always a point where you should be able to settle yourself and rest first before moving on. There is a term in Chinese which is lacking throughout this whole video and that's 休息是為了走更長遠的路 Rest Up, it's for you to go forth on an even longer journey. And it is just all about balance!

When you put in so many hours into your work, lets not talk about whether it will reap equal rewards, more importantly, what are the opportunity costs? What is your relationship with your family and friends like? Looking back, are there things you wish you could have done differently because you could not do it when you are old? How is your health? If you think all is well, good for you. But if you ended up having only money ( which could be easily wiped out by a major illness since as an insurance agent you probably wont be insanely rich) and a whole series of regrets, then you better think twice about what you are doing now.

I agree with the Bailan movement. We are at a point where we work so hard and work so much to still be unable to afford the things we want. We can't ever get enough money to buy a home or even do anything anymore. So we just settle and be happy for the small things we have. The 996 is a traditional view of how society wants you to be. If you work this much you will surely get the thing you want. Listen to your boss and do as you are told and be a good little person. Because if you don't want us to ruin your life you better work all your life. The woman is an insurance agent I presume. And insurance agents feeds on the destruction and deaths of others. Insurance all in all is one of the biggest scams in human society. Though sometimes it may make sense but it preys on people day in and day out to pay for something that may hypothetically happen or not. Bailan people all just want a simple life where they can grow their own food and have just enough to enjoy life. What's the point of building up a massive consumerist company that doesn't benefit our everyday lives? Society got the 996 by the ropes. To be a slave to the corporate world is not how it's supposed to be. We all just want a simple life. The woman comes from a privileged background and while the guy not so much. There are more underprivileged people on this planet than privileged individuals. When will humanity come to balance with nature and all well beings of life? Probably never in our life time. The only way out of Bailan is to 996 but 996 destroys the soul. You probably trick your mindset into thinking you are doing something good and you are enjoying it.

Bailan movement was literally born out of sake for ones own health. The girl seems to be reciting some company handbook, lots of fluffy statements. Bailan is the result of burnout , so she just hasn't reached that crossroad herself. Even she admitted competing against better equipped (overseas education, connection etc.) is like smashing tofu at a brick wall. Many people who love 996 are programmed to tolerate exploitation with the goal of one day 'making it' and continue the abuse on those 'below'. The girl threw words like 'adapt and flexibility', is exactly what the bailan guy exercising, he's adapting to the imbalance in society by evolving into bailan.

This was an attitude that really grated on me while teaching English to adults in China. Most of my students were working professionals, and this "I work hard, I achieve, my life is so interesting and full, I do this, I do that, blah blah blah" way of speaking feels so lacking in humility. There is no consideration of the other person's feelings. Just this smugness. That little laugh at the end of disparaging statements like "What do you think of that as someone who likes to wait for opportunities to come to them?" - She KNOWS she's being rude. But I guess she can't help herself? My favorite comment was "Personally, I don't find the opinion of my bosses and colleagues of me particularly important." Just as a matter of fact. No smug little smile. No desire to step on the other person to feel better. Just an adaptation he had to learn in order to feel OK in a society that wants to abuse the human desire for belonging and validation to the point of becoming a runaway train of vanity and alienation through competition. That being said, I do appreciate this video. It seems to be an accurate and interesting peek into Chinese modern culture.

Actually "bailan" in some other countries are not so prominent, the key point here is the uneven wage distribution. Countries with strong minimum/fair wage will have people doing their jobs and still get respected regardless of their jobs, they go home on time and no one is saying that what they do is "bailan". Both of them have the mindset that high paying job is automatically "respected". In some countries "996" is actually illegal if they aren't compensated for the extra time, the "996" might look good until a large change occur like accidents, illnesses, family emergencies, starting a family etc. While this may vary, businesses who adopt the "996" are usually less empathizing.

This phenomenon does not exist only in China. But I think it is a bit more recent to China hence it is getting more attention. Previous generations of people in China is known for working so hard and climbing their way up as their country went up as well from poverty. But now the signs of problems linked to industrialization such as wealth gaps etc. is also showing in China. Whereas before most people are equal and all are working their way up, now you have big corporations etc. that dominates the economy such that it is almost impossible to really challenge them. This happened to Japan as well starting in the 90s and peaked during what they called the lost generation and continues to this day. People there lost hope of really improving their lives beyond what they have unlike their parents and grandparents because they felt that no matter how hard they work only their bosses benefits. Most countries nowadays have this problem I think.

Also, China’s problem is not because of its population or wealth. These are just their excuses of mistreating their people. China is far richer than India and the 2 countries have more or less the same population size. The real problem is that the regional gov’t of China and the Chinese corporations are so entitled and they just treat people as slaves.

The true is that many people were forced to work long hours in China under this 996 working culture, without reasonable benefits or rewards. It is the natural outcome when the enterprises have dominant power over labours. As such dominant power is originated from the state, state owned businesses or state connected enterprises, the general public is not able to challenge or influence it. What the new generation is doing is a mean to protect themselves. To remedy this, there should be public organisation focusing on labour rights, and news agencies reporting misconduct of businesses, but neither of these are possible in China. I believe CNA may help by reporting those mis-conduct business activities and let the world see unfairness of this system.

At that moment of time, I thanked the existence of my son for letting me see everything so clearly. It is just not worth it to work so hard for a company you do not own. Tbh, it is also not worth it to work too hard for a company you own. It is more important to be happy, to have time to yourself and your loved ones.

Also if you're a salary worker and depending where you work, there might not be any overtime pay. 996 is just short term economic benefit. But a long term social and mental negative. Children would only spend 1 day with Thier parents. Parents would be tired after work and have only one day off, assuming they don't need to do house work.

996 is for people who have job. Bai lan is people who trying their best and still didn't able to pand a job despite their education and hard work to find a job.

You have to understand that from their conversation, he doesn't get rewarded because he hasn't worked smart. He only worked hard and that caused his burnout. Imagine distributing ads for homes. I'm a real estate agent myself and I definitely don't do that. He should've done online marketing, that's how his colleagues manage to relax while he was out distributing flyers

I think people should understand that by not choosing the 996 mindset, it does not equate to them giving up or being lazy. Is he doing his best at work? We don't know because we are always judging people from the surface level. But in actual fact, there are people like him who choose to bailan but is still working hard at the same time.

Bailan don't translate to anything in the West. chinese ppl are some of the hardest working ppl on the planet and this phenomenon has only risen in the past year or 2 due to an extremely difficult job market and economic lookout of the country as a result of covid and diplomatic failures that leads to fewer opportunties that the young ppl of china are now facing. the way UPward as they say in very different in china relying on corruption, Guanxi (connections), vastly different to in the West where you don't have to reply on those things. chinese young ppl overwhelmingly succeed in the West where there is equal and abundant opportunities and hardwork and education is rewarded whereas NONE of those things are fairly rewarded in china. you have to have lived in China to understand that and this could be a futile attempt to explain.

Poor woman, she's giving away her best years for nothing.
Taking example of singapore with reference to CECA and a weak Govt on rules and education standard always talking about human rights for all these losers. True. No point working hard as the alpha is not evidence among the masses

Those who put in mediocre efforts cannot expect to go far in their lives. The "bailan" man in this case will just drag along his life until he found that he is suddenly out of a job with no alternative skills or a good CV to get another job readily. On the other hand, the 996 (working 9am to 9pm 6 days a week) workers are just killing themselves without enjoying the good things in their lives on this planet. No matter how satisfied the "996" lady is with her job she should slow down and start smelling the flowers along the way. In other words the workers should balance their working and playing life to seek some happiness along their journeys. 人生苦短,及时行乐 人生苦短,及時行樂 Life is short, enjoy yourself while you can.

An insurance agent who sets her own schedule isn't working 996. Her age of 32 doesn't really quality her as youth either. Once she gets closer to 40, she will realize she scarficed the best years of her life for nothing. What does she has to show for then? She has No family of her own, no house, faded looks, etc.

Before demand other to work hard and rish their heatlh for you. Ask yourself what benifit you can offer them. They are not one of you and you clearly throw them away after they run out of use for you then why they should work hard for you? A small money that they can get in everywhere else with less work?

One lesson from Germany: the ones who are unemployed, living off social welfare can earn money (from the government) better than the ones who do the low-paying jobs. That said, many people now volunteer to be jobless... Needless to say, this will cause serious consequences in the long-term as a whole. China government should discourage people from "doing nothing but life is still good, thanks to free social welfare".

Yo this video i havent watch already can tell you why its meaningless. You put one person who's job wont reward addition work VS an agent whose monetary compensation is ENTIRELY based on your own successful closing of sales. HMMM, what you do expect to hear? I have a question for some to ponder: What do you think most people go to work for? Money is the number one reason for most. If your work doesnt pay additional for more efforts, why do you expect people to do more? That is essentially being the one trying to steal more of the person's time without paying for his effort. This whole "bailan" thing is essentially trying to twist logic on its head, trying to make us believe we should be giving more for no rewards. You think people don't value their own time? Please reflect. In fact, even if the bailan worker wants to work harder, HE should be doing it OUTSIDE his job on his free time on his own endeavours where the rewards are paid to him!
