Requiem for a slogan

The Chinese Dream, coined by Xi Jinping in 2012, was meant to be a vision for a prosperous and strong country, rejuvenation of the nation, and well-being of the people.

Young people are now opting out of the relentless striving and instead embracing a culture of apathy, with many feeling disillusioned and disconnected from the society.
