China's Generation ZEN
事事「無所求」的禪世代
【摘要2020.6.12.蘋果】
In most regions of the world, people born
between 1997 and 2010 are called Generation Z, or Gen Z for short. In China,
however, a different name for some young people of this generation is used to
describe a distinct attitude towards life and work—the Zen Generation, or Gen
Zen. Many young people of Gen Zen have a “let it be” attitude. Reports note
that they do not like competition and try to avoid stressful jobs on purpose.
在全球大多數地區，1997 年至
2010 年之間出生的人稱為 Generation Z，簡稱
Z 世代。然而在中國，對這個世代的某些年輕人而言，卻用了不同的名字來形容他們對人生和工作的獨特態度
── Generation Zen、或禪世代（編按：亦常稱「佛系世代」）。許多禪世代的年輕人都有著一種「順其自然」的態度。有報告指出他們不喜歡競爭，也會有意地試圖避免壓力大的工作。
