Youth Nursing Homes: A New Trend or Escape from Reality?

[Voice of Hope April 7, 2024](Comprehensive report by our reporter Li Jingrou) After the New Year of 2024, a new online term “youth nursing home” emerged. With the recent popularity of many “youth nursing homes” across China, this emerging topic has gradually heated up. Whether it is the “retirement” state chosen by young people, a traffic gimmick, or an entrepreneurial trend, it is very consistent with the “lying flat” lifestyle popular among young people today. Some “nursing homes” directly display advertising slogans It’s “Please lie down”, which is tailor-made for some young people.

“Youth Nursing Homes” are becoming increasingly popular across China. Cafes, bars, B&Bs, and farmhouses in cities such as Zhengzhou, Dali, Xishuangbanna, Tianjin, Chongqing, Ningbo, Jiangmen, Hefei, and Weihai have all displayed “Youth Nursing Homes” signs. Groups of young people in their twenties are planting vegetables and flowers in the “nursing home”, drinking coffee and chatting, meditating, basking in the sun… and entering the “lying down state of retirement” in advance.

“Youth Nursing Home” combines the two opposing labels of “youth” and “elderly care”, which some people feel is a bit ridiculous, and it has been questioned since it came out. The young people living here are considered to be “not enterprising”, “not engaged in a serious job”, and “how can you support yourself at such a young age?” But behind its hot demand, it truly reflects the needs of some youth groups, and a kind of A social phenomenon worthy of attention.

Facing the social chaos and survival pressure under the rule of the CCP, there are no fair opportunities, no rule of law environment, economic decline, rising prices, young people cannot find jobs, cannot make money, and choose to live alone, without marriage and childbearing. Method, perhaps also a forced trend. The Chinese Communist Party’s family planning policy goes in completely opposite directions, trying to force the younger generation to live with the burden of “having four eldest children and three younger children.” Many young people decisively refuse, saying, “We are the last generation.” There is no way forward and no way out. It is better to “take care of the whole family” than to “lie down” alone. At least “one person is full and the whole family is not hungry.” For young people, the headache is not only about providing for themselves in old age, but also about how to support themselves now.

Therefore, young people who have been in a state of fierce competition and high pressure for a long time need to escape reality and find a place to relax their minds, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and have close contact with nature, so “youth nursing homes” are very popular. Even if you come here to “temporarily retire” and temporarily “let yourself go” to heal your soul and relieve stress, it is still very meaningful. At least in the “youth nursing home”, no one will urge you to work, get married and have children, and no one will stop until you are involved.

Some practitioners said that the customer groups of “youth nursing homes” are mainly young and middle-aged people over the age of 25 or 26, mainly those born in the 1990s, with the largest being those born in the 70s and the smallest being those born in the 00s. Many of them come here to “retirement care” with their parents on their backs. “… “Be free to be yourself” is the biggest selling point of the “Youth Nursing Home”. This is also closer to the “retirement life” in the minds of young people, allowing young people to get more spiritual energy here. The owners also regularly hold activities with different themes for the “elderly residents”, such as “Scolding to Awaken Love Brains”, “Salted Fish Story Meeting”, etc., so that the salted fish can release their “lying flat” attitude towards life when they can’t stand up. .

Some commentators believe that in more than 20 years, those born in the 1980s and 1990s will enter the elderly stage. If these “only children” are the “last generation” and face the problem of old age care, this method of living together to “keep each other warm” should be feasible. of.

Avoid 40 years of detours and get it right in one step

Most of the young people who come to “youth nursing homes” will not live there for fifty or sixty years to “retire”. But there is a young man born in the 1990s who really chose to retire 40 years early and moved into a nursing home with his bags. He even praised the food and complete facilities. “Save 40 years of detours and get it right in one step!” It aroused heated discussion among netizens. Nursing homes, as the name suggests, are places for the elderly to enjoy their old age. What’s going on if young people live in them?

This young man from Northeast China, born in 1993, is in his early 30s and has owned a company and a store. He said, “The current environment is a bit bad and I can’t make any money. It suddenly occurred to me that I should go back and live in a nursing home.”

It costs RMB 1,700 a month, and you can stay in a double room. There is regular cleaning, and you don’t have to worry about electricity, water, and Internet charges. The food is quite good, with a buffet for three meals and a reasonable mix of meat and vegetables. The young man shared his daily life in the nursing home on social platforms. Although it was dull, he was still satisfied. He said: “Every day I just eat, watch TV shows, play games, eat snacks, and watch beautiful women.” “The old man and the old lady eat as much as me, especially when it comes to serving meat… But they still take good care of me. “Although he is not working, he still makes money to pay for the nursing home expenses. He “plays the game “Moving Bricks” and rents out the spare house at home.”

As soon as the video came out, it attracted many young people who were eager to move. They all expressed envy and wanted to move into a nursing home in advance: “Living in a nursing home is indeed more convenient than living in a hotel and better than renting a house.” “I seem to have seen a business opportunity in a nursing home for youths.” ” Can I go in 1997?”; “Seriously, working and renting a house is better than living here, taking care of the food, and paying electricity and water bills for free”; “I went too, with my friends, so I was tempted.” …..

After “lying down”, young people in mainland China have further ways to show off. The “young people who are not young” in the new era are coming to face them and issued their silent declaration of resistance. The content lists the following ten guidelines for “doing nothing”: Article 1, do not donate blood; Article 2, do not make donations; Article 3, do not get married; Article 4, do not have children; Article 5, do not buy a house; Article 6 , do not buy lottery tickets; Article 7, do not enter the stock market; Article 8, do not buy funds; Article 9, do not support the elderly; Article 10, do not be moved.
