“青年养老院”的风越刮越大，年轻人真的彻底躺平了吗？（讲解版）｜E0924

▍原文

The "youth retirement village" in the Yesanpo Scenic Area of Baoding, just a two-hour drive from Beijing, offers a stark contrast to the city's hustle.

A youth retirement home provides a retreat for young people seeking a break from the mental pressures of modern life.

"The goal is not to encourage avoidance of the real world," said the manager. "It is where young people can rediscover themselves and gather strength for their next chapter."
