A Geração Que Trabalha Sem Parar e Continua Pobre_ A Verdade Oculta da China - ESSE É O PREÇO - Vídeo Dailymotion

Conhecendo a Verdade

Você já imaginou trabalhar 10, 12 horas por dia, estudar por anos, seguir todas as regras… e mesmo assim não conseguir sair do zero?  Enquanto o mundo enxerga a China como uma potência econômica, com cidades futuristas e tecnologia de ponta, existe uma realidade que quase ninguém mostra: milhões de jovens estão presos em uma armadilha financeira, emocional e social.  Neste vídeo, você vai conhecer como é realmente viver em cidades como Pequim, Xangai e Shenzhen, onde o custo de vida explodiu, os salários não acompanharam e o sonho de uma vida melhor virou apenas sobrevivência.  Moradia inacessível, aluguéis abusivos, jornadas exaustivas, pressão social, desistência de sonhos e até da ideia de ter filhos. Uma geração inteira trabalhando sem parar… e afundando.  Essa não é uma história sobre números. É uma história sobre pessoas.

00:00The alarm clock rings before sunrise.

00:03It's not a gentle nudge, it's a dry, almost aggressive warning.

00:07Remember that another day has begun and you can't be late.

00:12You wake up still tired,

00:14She walks through a room that is too small to contain her dreams.

00:18picks up the cell phone and the first thing he sees

00:21These aren't messages from friends or plans for the weekend,

00:25but notifications from the bank.

00:27The balance is at its limit.

00:28Again, you sigh, not because you've spent too much,

00:33not because he lived beyond his means,

00:35But simply existing has become too expensive.

00:38This is the story that almost no one wants to tell about the big cities of China.

00:43This is the story of an entire generation waking up every day.

00:47to work 10, 12 hours, returning home exhausted,

00:52only to discover at the end of the month that there's nothing left.

00:56Or worse, that it was missing.

00:57While the world looks to China and sees skyscrapers that seem to touch the sky—trains

01:03that cross cities at impressive speeds,

01:06artificial intelligence, digital payments,

01:10an economy that challenges historical powers,

01:13There is a silent reality spreading across Beijing.

01:16Shanghai, Shenzhen, and so many other metropolises.

01:20A reality made up of young people who work tirelessly, but don't get ahead.

01:26Those who studied, obeyed the rules, and believed in the promise of progress.

01:30And now they find themselves trapped in an economic trap that wasn't in the contract.

01:36The shop window shines, but behind the glass, people are breaking down.

01:40And what's most frightening is the silence surrounding it.

01:44Living in these cities has become a daily test of endurance.

01:48It's not just about paying bills,

01:49It's about the constant feeling of chasing something that gets further away with every step.

01:55The idea of personal progress, of upward mobility, of building a stable life,

02:00It was being replaced by a more modest and crueler objective.

02:04survive until next month

02:07China grew rapidly, perhaps too rapidly.

02:10And in the midst of this race, millions of young people were left behind.

02:14Not for lack of trying, but because the game has changed.

02:17while they were still learning the rules.

02:20It all starts with a detail that should be basic.

02:24Having a place to live.

02:26In major Chinese cities, housing is no longer an implicit right.

02:30and it became a distant privilege.

02:32The numbers are so high that they sometimes seem abstract.

02:36until you try to translate them into your own reality.

02:40Small apartments, 40 or 50 square meters,

02:45They cost amounts that in many countries would buy spacious houses.

02:50These are not luxury properties, they don't have a privileged view.

02:54They do not offer exceptional comfort.

02:56They are common places, often far from city centers,

02:59sold at prices that would require decades of absolute sacrifice to pay for.

03:05Decades in which you couldn't live, only work.

03:10The average salary of a recent graduate does not keep pace with this upward trend.

03:15Even in cities considered wealthy,

03:18to earn enough to maintain a minimally decent life.

03:21That's already a challenge.

03:23The numbers don't add up, they don't add up today, and they didn't add up yesterday.

03:27And for many, it doesn't seem like it's going to close tomorrow.

03:30Saving money has become a theoretical exercise.

03:33something that exists more in spreadsheets and internet advice.

03:36than in everyday practice.

03:39Buying a property is no longer a plan.

03:40and it turned into a distant fantasy,

03:44something that the parents managed to do,

03:45But to the children, it sounds almost like a legend from another time.

03:50And this isn't just a financial issue.

03:53In Chinese culture,

03:54Homeownership still carries enormous symbolic weight.

03:58She represents stability, responsibility, and maturity.

04:03For many, it is an implicit prerequisite for marriage.

04:08to be taken seriously,

04:09to be recognized as a complete adult.

04:12Not owning property doesn't just mean not owning an asset.

04:16It means carrying a stigma.

04:18to face family, social, and emotional pressures.

04:23It's the constant feeling of failing an invisible test.

04:27even though you did everything they asked of you.

04:31Given this, renting seems like the obvious alternative.

04:35But it quickly turns out to be another dead end.

04:38Rents in major Chinese cities

04:40They consume an absurd chunk of the monthly income.

04:44Half the salary, sometimes more,

04:47He leaves just to secure a roof over his head.

04:50And this roof is often shared.

04:52Tiny rooms,

04:54shared with strangers,

04:56kitchens used on a rotating shift system,

04:59crowded bathrooms.

05:01Privacy becomes a rare luxury.

05:03Comfort, a distant concept.

05:06Still, many accept it.

05:08Because there are no better options.

05:09The city's geography imposes cruel choices.

05:14Living close to work means sacrificing almost all your money.

05:19Living far away means sacrificing time.

05:23There is no balance.

05:24The centers where the opportunities are located are too expensive.

05:28The most accessible suburbs are hours away.

05:31The day is fragmented into long journeys,

05:34in crowded subway cars,

05:36on crowded buses,

05:37in a weariness that accumulates even before the workday begins.

05:43When the work is finished,

05:44There's no energy left for anything else.

05:46besides going back home

05:48and try to get enough rest to repeat everything the next day.

05:52China is rightly proud of its economic growth.

05:56The numbers are impressive, the statistics are celebrated.

06:00The graphs are pointing upwards.

06:03But young people's salaries have not kept pace with this growth.

06:06The cost of living has skyrocketed.

06:09driven by rapid urbanization,

06:12due to real estate speculation,

06:15due to the concentration of opportunities in a few cities.

06:19Food, transportation, education,

06:22Everything got more expensive.

06:23Money, on the other hand, grows slowly.

06:26Sometimes it seems like nothing is growing.

06:28Working more is no longer synonymous with earning more.

06:32It came to mean simply enduring for another month.

06:35Competition makes all of this worse.

06:38Every year, millions of university graduates enter the job market.

06:42They are qualified, disciplined young people, accustomed to pressure.

06:46For companies, this means bargaining power.

06:49There will always be someone willing to accept less.

06:52working longer hours,

06:54to give up rights just to secure the position.

06:58The famous 996 regime,

07:01working from 9 am to 9 pm,

07:046 days a week,

07:07It is no longer an exception.

07:08and it has become almost an informal norm in many sectors.

07:12Unpaid overtime,

07:14unattainable goals,

07:16Constant billing.

07:17The body can hold out for a while,

07:19The mind, not always.

07:21Over the years,

07:22The feeling of stagnation becomes difficult to ignore.

07:26You work hard,

07:27He makes an effort,

07:29meets expectations,

07:30But it remains in the same place.

07:32The future that seemed promising,

07:34It's getting hazy.

07:36Tiredness isn't just physical,

07:39It's mental.

07:40emotional,

07:41existential.

07:42The question that no one wants to ask out loud arises.

07:45What's the point of all this?

07:46When effort does not translate into progress,

07:49Motivation begins to die.

07:52There is also an invisible cost,

07:54which does not appear on bank statements,

07:56but it weighs the same.

07:58Time.

07:59Large Chinese cities are immense.

08:02And moving around inside them requires hours of work each day.

08:05Four, sometimes five hours spent just commuting to and from work.

08:11That time will never come back.

08:12He cannot be invested in relationships.

08:16at rest,

08:17in hobbies,

08:18Under reflection.

08:19Life is being postponed indefinitely.

08:23Always for later,

08:24Always for when things get better.

08:27But things rarely get better.

08:29In this scenario of exhaustion,

08:31There is still pressure to keep up appearances.

08:34Image matters.

08:36The right cell phone,

08:38the right clothes,

08:39the places people frequent.

08:40Everything communicates success or failure.

08:44Even those who are financially strapped,

08:46feels the need to appear normal,

08:50prosperity, control.

08:52Expenses that don't fit within the budget.

08:54They are justified as an investment in dignity.

08:58It's a collective theatre.

08:59in which almost everyone pretends to be fine,

09:02while they silently struggle to avoid sinking.

09:05This silence creates isolation.

09:07Each one believes they are alone in their difficulty.

09:11when in fact,

09:13Almost everyone is facing the same problem.

09:16The idea of starting a family,

09:18which for decades was seen as a natural step into adulthood,

09:23It came to be seen as a huge risk.

09:25Raising a child in large Chinese cities requires resources that many simply do not have.

09:33Quality education is expensive.

09:35Larger housing is almost inaccessible.

09:37And the prospect of future competition for the child begins to haunt parents even before birth.

09:43Many young people postpone this decision indefinitely.

09:47Others simply give up.

09:49The birth rate is plummeting and the country is aging rapidly.

09:53Government incentives emerge,

09:56but without addressing the structural causes,

09:58They sound empty.

10:01In light of all this,

10:02An answer began to spread among young people.

10:05Giving up.

10:07Not a noisy resignation,

10:09full of protests,

10:10but a silent withdrawal from the game.

10:13The movement known as

10:14Lying flat symbolizes that choice.

10:18Stop competing,

10:19lower expectations,

10:21Living with the bare minimum.

10:23Not out of laziness,

10:23but due to exhaustion.

10:25Some return to smaller cities,

10:27They accept lower salaries.

10:29in exchange for a more humane pace of life.

10:32Others remain in the big cities,

10:34but they only work enough to survive,

10:37without ambitions for advancement.

10:38The promise was broken.

10:40And when the promise disappears,

10:43Effort loses its meaning.

10:45China continues to impress the world.

10:47Their numbers are growing.

10:49their cities expand,

10:51His influence is growing.

10:53But behind this success,

10:54There is a huge human cost.

10:56Millions of young people live imprisoned.

10:58in a machine that never stops,

11:00sacrificing time,

11:02health and dreams

11:03to maintain a system

11:05which rarely rewards them.

11:07Economic development,

11:09without quality of life,

11:10This raises an uncomfortable question.

11:12Success for whom?

11:13The bill is coming due.

11:15And for many, it has already arrived.

11:18This story is not told often.

11:20Because it tarnishes the perfect image of modernity.

11:24But it exists.

11:25It pulsates daily in the crowded subway stations,

11:29in shared apartments,

11:31on the tired faces that cross the city before dawn.

11:36It's the story of a generation that did everything they were asked.

11:41But in return, she received a tight, expensive, and uncertain future.

11:45And knowing this truth is the first step in understanding that growth alone is not enough.

11:52And that is why today,
